	Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak.
	It's Thursday, February 26, 2015.
	Time for your Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 6.
	Niner Niner.
	This is no agenda.
	Celebrating our final days as lawful content live from FEMA Region 6 in downtown Austin.
	In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where I'm anticipating episode 700, I'm John C. Devorak.
	It's Craig Vaughn and Buzzkill in the morning!
	That's right!
	6-9-D9, dudes!
	Yeah!
	That was cute.
	69.9.
	Amen.
	Fist bump.
	Amen.
	John Stewart on why he's leaving the Daily Show says, conservatives are killing me.
	What is this?
	What are you doing?
	Oh, really?
	He explained at length why he's leaving the Daily Show.
	He started by showing clips of reaction to his announcement.
	And then he goes on our Fox News channel where Megyn Kelly is seen talking about how nasty Stewart got.
	I care not.
	Well, I do care because I have a number of Fox clips today.
	Because apparently Fox...
	Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
	Stop.
	Before we go anywhere, I need to give you some props.
	Okay.
	As we say in hip-hop land.
	Some props for your Red Book prediction, which came true within two weeks of the prediction.
	Yeah, I try to keep it tight.
	Amen.
	Fist bump.
	Yeah, real good.
	Real tight.
	Brian Williams, you predicted in the Red Book, suicide.
	Yeah.
	And not even...
	Headline.
	Big...
	At the supermarket.
	You called me on it when I made the prediction.
	I said it was so easy.
	It was like, oh...
	No, no, no.
	That's not what you did.
	I'll go back and get the clip.
	What did I say?
	You said, oh, bull crap.
	What do you even...
	What kind of dumb prediction is that?
	Because it's so easy.
	I said, of course it's going to be...
	It doesn't matter.
	You called it.
	It's in the book.
	You nailed it.
	What was it?
	National Enquirer?
	No, no, no, no.
	See, this is the problem.
	You made a mistake.
	It wasn't Enquirer?
	It was the Globe.
	That was the National Enquirer's baby sister.
	Oh, boy.
	And it's not...
	It doesn't get...
	You know, so there's not...
	This is scripted.
	This is a script to get him back on the track.
	Somebody sent in a clip showing that he's still actually doing...
	I don't know if this was maybe just older.
	The guy was misinformed, but he...
	There's a thing called NBC Everywhere that they play in the taxi cabs in New York City.
	They took a photo of him on this thing.
	He's been relegated to taxi cab broadcast?
	Yeah.
	That's cool.
	I think actually there is one thing lower than Podcaster, and that's got to be the Yellow Cab Broadcast Network.
	Well, I think there's even lower than that.
	It's the gasoline station station.
	Where you can't really hear it.
	You can't hear it.
	You can't see it.
	Because the screen's all scratched.
	You can't see anything.
	Cabcaster.
	Hi, everybody.
	I'm Brian Williams, your cabcaster for today.
	In the morning.
	Hey, I'm much better, I'll say.
	Oh, well, I thought it was allergies, so it can't be better.
	No, it wasn't allergies.
	No, I had flu.
	You had a cold.
	I had flu.
	That was flu.
	Someone referred to me, and I hadn't heard this term in decades, as typhoid Mary.
	Have you ever heard that?
	Oh yeah, you hear it all the time.
	I don't know.
	I hadn't heard it in decades and I had to look it up.
	Oh, jeez!
	Who was Typhoid Mary?
	Yeah, well, you're not in Typhoid Mary because you're actually sick.
	I was patient zero in Austin.
	Curry's Typhoid Mary.
	Mary Mallon, better known as Typhoid Mary.
	Yeah, but she never showed symptoms.
	That was the deal.
	Well, it was the first...
	Oh, let me see.
	It was the first person in the United States identified as an asymptomatic carrier of the pathogen associated with typhoid fever.
	She was presumed to have infected 51 people, three of whom died over the course of her career as a cook.
	So she was asymptomatic.
	So she was a carrier, but she did not...
	Actually get typhoid herself?
	How does that work?
	She had typhoid, but it was asymptomatic.
	She had no symptoms of typhoid, but she had it.
	It's just one of these things that happens with many diseases.
	So she was roaming around, you know, feeling great.
	Cooking up a storm.
	Licking them, giving them kisses and hugs.
	Giving everyone typhoid.
	This is 1900.
	It's just interesting how...
	That stays around for a hundred years.
	I don't know.
	I kind of liked it.
	Well, it sounds good.
	Typhoid Mary.
	I mean, there was a guy named, you know, Gwyneth.
	Typhoid Gwyneth wouldn't work.
	Or a guy named Bill.
	Typhoid Mary has a nice sound.
	Bubonic Plague Bill.
	Bubonic Bill.
	Bubonic Bill.
	So, yeah, I think most of the...
	Yeah, no.
	I think most of the...
	Most of the diseases have asymptomatic elements with certain people.
	But you were symptomatic, so that's both.
	You're just a careless spreader.
	I didn't realize I was...
	I did not fit the description.
	Sorry.
	Well, you fit the description of an irresponsible.
	That's what I was saying.
	Coughing on people.
	No, I'm not irresponsible.
	You come in from New York sick and you infect the whole town with your hugs and kisses.
	Two kisses and the smack smack thing you guys do.
	No, man.
	We don't do kisses anymore.
	Amen.
	Fist bump.
	That's all we do.
	Amen.
	Fist bump.
	Stay healthy.
	Amen.
	Fist bump.
	Wow.
	Douches.
	Every time I hear that, it just makes you shake your head.
	I know.
	I know.
	Wow.
	I'm not nearly as irresponsible as J. Johnson.
	Oh, J. Johnson?
	J. Johnson.
	Some call him...
	Well, he went on the telescreens and said, Oh, yeah, yeah, that video with the guy who talked about the mall.
	Yeah, we need money.
	Where's my budget?
	This was...
	I had to follow this story, and I know that everyone has seen this about the Mall of America, but it was very interesting to follow...
	What was going on?
	This is all politicized.
	And of course, what do we have now?
	Tomorrow at midnight, Department of Homeland Security will be defunded.
	No, it's not going to happen.
	No.
	It's just more of the same bull crap that always goes on.
	And the news loves to jump on it.
	And it was, in fact, the news who somehow we got this video of this guy, and then they showed some of the Kenya mall.
	Hold on, I have the...
	What are they showing the Kenya Mall for?
	How long ago was that?
	It was 2013, because all they wanted to do was get J. Johnson on to say, hey, you can't defund me.
	It gave everybody a raison d'etre for talking.
	Here's CBS-NBC little mash-up of...
	A little French on us, huh?
	Yeah, oui.
	Here's a little mash-up of CBS and NBC. Someone gave them this video, and I'm sure it was the Sight Intelligence Group.
	Or maybe it was just someone to some staffer at DHS. Here, let's get this conversation started.
	On alert, the iconic mall of America tightening security in the wake of a new terror threat.
	Meanwhile, the clock is ticking with Congress locked in a bitter battle over how to fund DHS. If Congress can't resolve its differences by Friday, the agency that oversees much of the nation's security operations will run out of money.
	Days before the Department of Homeland Security's They're already in front of the Mall of America doing these reports.
	Budget is set to run out.
	Homeland Security Secretary Jay Johnson laid out the implications of a looming shutdown.
	$30,000 would be furloughed if funding runs out by this week.
	That's the way they used the word runs out.
	I know.
	I was thinking about that.
	$30,000, that's only 10% of the workforce.
	That's not a huge problem.
	There's 300,000 people, as far as I know, in the Department of Homeland Security that, oh, $30,000 would be furloughed.
	That's 10%.
	Not quite as bad as they make it seem.
	The rest would be required to show up without pay.
	What is complicating things is that Johnson's agency, the Department of Homeland Security, is set to run out of money.
	There is a battle in Congress over the president.
	It works well, because this is what people understand.
	Hey, I ran out of money.
	Oh yeah, run out.
	...recent immigration actions and DHS funding is in the crosshairs.
	Funding for DHS runs out midnight Friday, and as of now, it's unclear how the Republican-led Congress will break the impasse.
	Bullcrap, bullcrap.
	But then DeJohnson goes on CNN and ABC, and he made a mistake.
	Because I know there's one thing you do not say in the United States of America.
	There's one thing you never ever want to thwart people from, and that's shopping.
	This is very dumb of Judd Johnson.
	This is very dumb.
	I know where you're headed with this.
	This is not good.
	You're right.
	No, this is stupid.
	This is not how we...
	After 9-11, what did President Bush say?
	He said, go shopping.
	You remember that?
	Yeah.
	Go shopping.
	Go to the mall tomorrow.
	And I just want to read you...
	Here's his initial response.
	And a little nugget in here I didn't know.
	One more thing on this.
	This is a statement from the Mall of America today.
	Mall of America is aware of a threatening video that was released which included a mention and images of the mall.
	We take any potential threat seriously and respond appropriately.
	We have implemented extra security precautions.
	Some may be noticeable to guests and others.
	Guests.
	Won't.
	Some won't be noticeable.
	What are you telling Americans who might be planning a trip to the mall this Sunday?
	The answer is, shop till you drop, baby!
	It's never this.
	What we're telling the public in general is, you've got to be vigilant.
	We just revamped our, if you see something, say something campaign.
	Hold on a second.
	They just revamped the campaign?
	Yes, they did.
	Did they use our...
	No, no.
	Again, a missed opportunity from the Department of Homeland Security.
	This is Sir Jeff's best work.
	Sir Jeff Smith from Nashville.
	And it's catchy.
	Nobody knows that you've revamped your If You See Something, Say Something campaign.
	The first time I heard about it is him saying it.
	I heard about it a couple weeks ago.
	But I didn't hear no jingle!
	If you see something, say something.
	That would be a revamp.
	The Super Bowl last month.
	And so public engagement, public awareness is critical.
	Americans should still feel that they are free to associate.
	They are free to go to public gatherings.
	But it's critical that we have public awareness and public participation in our efforts.
	Are they safe in going to the Mall of America today?
	If you want to go take your kids to the Mall of America?
	Yes, yes, go shop!
	That was a question thrown in for the specific reason to get him to save himself.
	And what did he do?
	He dug the hole even deeper.
	I would say that if anyone is planning to go to the Mall of America today, they've got to be particularly careful.
	And as the statement you read indicates, there will be enhanced security there that will be apparent to people who go there.
	Federal security as well?
	There will be enhanced security.
	Apparently not.
	But public vigilance, public awareness, and public caution...
	In situations...
	She was on the right side of this.
	You could tell she was playing it.
	Come on, you can say it.
	You do it right.
	I guess whoever hired him assumed that he knew the drill.
	No.
	No, he screwed it up.
	And then Josh...
	Josh Earnest, a spokeshole extraordinaire for the White House, he had to go and downplay it all.
	It was very uncomfortable to watch him do this because what he had to say is he had a couple of talking points.
	It's really outrageous when you hear these clips how the American public It's just being lied to, and it's so obvious that we're being lied to, and then they walk these statements back and cover it up with just, it's obvious, but no one ever says, hey, this guy's a shithead, and he lied, and there's no threat whatsoever.
	No.
	Do you think that the Secretary overstated the threat to America's miles over the weekend?
	No, I think the secretary was noting how important it is for the American people to continue to be vigilant.
	That said, the intelligence community has said that they are not aware of any specific credible plot against the Mall of America or any other deal.
	So the intelligence community, which I think includes the Department of Homeland Security, were very clear, and he's going to repeat this a couple times, but they're not letting him go on.
	Because immediately after Jed Johnson came out with his bull crap, every store owner in the Mall of America called the White House complaining, hey, you're killing us here.
	This is not how we run things in America.
	It's like a commercial shopping center here in the United States.
	But we certainly are mindful of the threat that exists, and that's why DHS has their See Something, Say Something campaign, and we encourage people to be vigilant.
	What?
	Again, again, a missed opportunity.
	If you see something, say something.
	They license the damn slogan, they can license the jingle.
	We could probably make licensing that jingle, if Sir Jeff would donate it to us, we could probably do a couple, like 10 grand a year maybe.
	Maybe.
	Maybe.
	I don't know what they're thinking.
	They're not thinking straight.
	But the fact of the matter is, the intelligence community has indicated that there's no specific credible plot against...
	The intelligence community has indicated.
	Why do reporters not go, excuse me, Who is the intelligence community?
	Does that not include Joe Johnson's outfit there?
	The mall, and that, you know, essentially, this is a reaction to a propaganda video that was put out by a terrorist group in Africa.
	Far away!
	Far away!
	I love that.
	Ma'am, this was essentially a video put out by a terrorist group in Africa.
	And I recognize that may be why the issue of mall security has come to the attention of people in this room.
	No, it came to our attention because Johnson said, be careful.
	The administration has been mindful of this risk.
	For years now.
	And that's why Secretary Johnson was, yesterday when he was asked about this, was able to indicate that we'd already been in touch with local law enforcement, that we'd already been in touch with individuals who are responsible for security at shopping centers and even at this specific shopping center.
	But I want to reiterate something that the intelligence community has said about there not being any specific credible threat that they're aware of.
	You just can't say it enough.
	I want to reiterate, there is no threat.
	No threat, no threat.
	Please go shopping.
	Here is...
	I think this is the guy from Fox again who's getting all that airtime.
	So this is probably scripted.
	And the answer certainly is.
	What he said specifically was, if anybody is planning to go to the Mall of America today, they have got to be particularly careful.
	Yes.
	Does the White House agree with that specific statement?
	Pretty simple question.
	If somebody is going to the Mall of America...
	How do we answer this one?
	This is the crux of the problem.
	They've got to be particularly careful.
	Be careful.
	I would suggest a specific threat or a heightened threat level right now at a specific place.
	Yes, and what I have said, and more importantly what the intelligence community has assessed, and what they have said is that we're not aware of any specific credible plot against the Mall of America or any other domestic commercial shopping center.
	And I think what the secretary is trying to say, what he has, what's his responsibility to say, is that the American people should remain vigilant.
	So you get the idea.
	Big mistake.
	And while the White House was trying to cover up this obvious faux pas, Johnson goes out.
	And I don't know, where did this guy come from?
	Where did we find him?
	Not you mentioned that.
	I don't think we looked into him much.
	Yeah, we should look into this.
	I think he's just a bureaucrat that's been around.
	Let's check it out.
	It's possible.
	He has one of those big, like, football rings on, which I find very annoying on men in suits.
	Oh, he's got one of those big, giant...
	Yeah, like Super Bowl ring or whatever.
	Yeah, big, crummy ring.
	I don't quite like that.
	He went on ABC with the Stephanopoulos and just said it.
	He's a lawyer.
	My view is this.
	Surprise.
	Thirteen and a half years ago when we were attacked on 9-11, we were attacked by core al-Qaeda through a relatively straightforward command and control structure where they would train operatives in their camps, dispatch them, send them overseas to commit attacks.
	Wow!
	And we couldn't stop that relatively simple command and control system?
	We're now in a different phase that is more complex, more decentralized, more diffuse, which involves pretty effective use by these groups of the internet, of social media, of print.
	And so we've got to bring to this a whole-of-government approach, which includes...
	A whole-of-government approach.
	This is another one of those things that keeps being reiterated, which just makes no sense.
	You have the EPA in there doing this?
	Who else is going to be helping?
	Countering violent extremism here at home includes law enforcement, charging people with material support, as well as the military response.
	And the reason I think we're all concerned about this is because it encourages independent actors who could strike with very little notice to our intelligence community, our law enforcement community, here at home.
	And so that's one of the time.
	Not only does it happen all the time, but they never seem to be able to stop it.
	So I don't know what good this is going to be doing here at home.
	And so that's one of the reasons, frankly, why it's imperative that we have a budget for the Department of Homeland Security, which is due to expire at the end of the week.
	Okay, very good, Jeff.
	Okay, here's the background, how he got into the position he's in.
	On January 8th, he was the general counsel for the Defense Department, given the job by Obama in 2009.
	Uh-huh, he's been around.
	And then he moved him up to late.
	He's a bureaucrat.
	He's a lawyer-turned-government stooge.
	Huh.
	Yes.
	Stooge.
	Now, he did say something, and I think this, I don't know where, if this was CNN, trying to localize this problem, and I have another funny clip about this, but the whole idea is, hey, if we let Department of Homeland Security run out of money, then your local law enforcement runs out of all kinds of groovy grants.
	That's not true.
	Well, listen to what he says.
	As long as we're on a continuing resolution, we cannot fund new grants.
	Oh, this was a speech.
	New grants.
	Yeah.
	Of a non-disaster assistance nature.
	So we fund...
	Several billion dollars a year in grants for Homeland Security to state and local law enforcement.
	Waste money.
	It's bullcrap.
	My little town, my little local town here has gotten a bunch of these grants and all they bought were the just horrible looking militaristic police cars.
	Is it the Challenger?
	No, no, it's no.
	Austin has the Challenger.
	It's sexy.
	Well, we got a bunch of these things that look just...
	Badass.
	And they have Ford Explorers.
	Military vehicles driving around.
	We used to have these friendly-looking cop cars.
	Black and whites.
	Yeah, black and whites.
	Now we got these things with huge battering rams in front and light bars.
	Yeah!
	Now you're talking.
	Light up the sky.
	You think hell's breaking loose when one of these guys turns these things on and lights them up.
	But Jeff has more.
	To sheriffs, police chiefs.
	Police commissioners, mayors and governors.
	Apparently he gives grants to mayors and governors.
	All this money is just flowing right down.
	Does this sound like bribery to anybody?
	It does to me.
	For Homeland Security, for their surveillance equipment, their communications equipment.
	They're things vital to Homeland Security.
	Our grant making with FY15 money as long as we're on a continuing resolution.
	So as long as we're on a CR, it greatly restricts our ability to do the things that we do for the American public.
	Yeah, like raping us.
	So this idea of grants for local protection was picked up by...
	And now she's the vice chair of the Appropriations Committee.
	I did not realize.
	This is Senator Mikulski.
	This moron woman.
	She's Democrat from California.
	She's the one that looks like the...
	The lady from Poltergeist come to the light carry-in?
	Oh yeah, I've seen this woman.
	She's a whore.
	She's a nasty-looking woman.
	But not only that, the things that come out of her mouth, and she's on the Appropriations Committee, you have to wonder, why is this woman representing anybody?
	Anybody!
	We need to pass the Homeland Security...
	Fiscal appropriations for 2015.
	We have the right money in the place to be able to do it with the right policies to be able to do this.
	What?
	And when we talk about defending America and defending our homeland, it comes back to local communities.
	To our local law enforcement and to our local fire department who are on the first scene, any scene, any time, 24-7.
	I thought she was going to say six at that point.
	This is the fire department.
	Our local fire department are on the scene, any scene, 24-7.
	She was using her fingers to get it.
	What is she saying?
	The fire department now stops terrorism?
	I'd like to know what happened to the Democrat Party.
	It was the Republicans who put all this stuff into play and all the progressives and liberals.
	Oh, this is a police state.
	These nasty bastard Republicans are shitheads.
	What are they doing to this country?
	Now these guys are more bloodthirsty than the Republicans.
	Let me tell you something really bad.
	So CNN apparently has a newscast for schools.
	Yes, they do.
	And airports.
	I'm sorry, an airport.
	It's a different one, though, obviously.
	But this is the scholastic one for, I think it's middle and high school.
	And how can this, I don't know if this is actually shown, I should probably research this, how many schools show the CNN special school news report.
	But how can this be healthy for our children?
	This is CNN Student News.
	Current events for middle and high school classrooms with zero commercials.
	Woo!
	I'm Carl Azuz.
	Today's show starts with coverage of a threat.
	The Al-Shabaab terrorist group, which is based in Somalia, is telling terrorists to attack shopping malls in the U.S., the United Kingdom, and Canada.
	Al-Shabaab is linked to the Al-Qaeda terrorist network, and it carried out an attack at a mall in Kenya in 2013 that killed dozens of people.
	This latest statement from Al-Shabaab.
	This is the news for schools.
	For kids.
	We're scaring the kids.
	Yeah.
	Just scaring them.
	And they're showing maps.
	Yeah, just make the kids nervous wrecks.
	So they need to take drugs.
	Yeah.
	Reflects the new phase we've evolved to in the global terrorist threat.
	In that you have groups such as al-Shabaab, ISIL, publicly calling for independent actors in their homelands to carry out attacks.
	Yeah.
	We're beyond the phase now.
	What?
	What?
	I said there's so many al-Shabaabians around the United States.
	They're going to be carrying out attacks.
	These groups would send foreign operatives into countries after being trained someplace.
	We're now going to stop.
	Give us one example of that happening here in the USA besides these phony baloney things that were lone wolves that were set up by the FBI. Give me one lone single one example of one of these events in the United States since it's apparently been going on for a while.
	They've been planning this, but give me one.
	Come on.
	Come on.
	Shoe bomb.
	No, Times Square bomber.
	Times Square bomber.
	ISIS uses social media.
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	It didn't go off, by the way.
	All right.
	And by the way, the Times Square bombing was caught by civilians.
	The great security apparatus didn't do crap about it until after the fact.
	I just wanted to raise the issue that it is not okay to have 10 minutes of terror news for children in school.
	Yes, and they can't even balance a checkbook, meanwhile.
	Elementary students were doing a...
	What was this?
	Where was this?
	Oh, that was Japan.
	It doesn't count.
	Forget about it.
	Here is...
	Everyone was all over anything we could do, anything we could say about just frightening the American public, and subsequently the world, because this doesn't stop here.
	James Comey, former board of directors of HSBC, the corrupt, money-laundering, drug-running...
	Megabank.
	Megabank.
	Who is now, and he's a lawyer, prosecutor.
	He famously threw Martha Stewart in jail.
	Good job.
	So he's the man for terrorism.
	And he had, do you have a call?
	Yeah, I keep talking.
	You know, there's a ringer.
	You can probably shut it off.
	And, you talking to somebody now?
	No, I'm just saying if there's anyone on the line.
	It's not, it's just a dead call.
	Alright.
	Comey, maybe a month or so, maybe six weeks ago, said that he reported, he says there is ISIS lone wolves, inspired lone wolves, in 49 states.
	Yeah, no, I've got these clips.
	He didn't have Alaska.
	So Alaska has now been added to the list.
	ISIS uses social media like a job fair.
	Woohoo!
	Have you noticed this?
	Yeah, I'm picking up gigs everywhere.
	Job fair.
	Oh, there's 300 people in line.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	Yay!
	ISIS uses social media like a job fair.
	That, he says, is how terrorists snagged three New York men, the latest, to face ISIS charges.
	Now remember, this is the FBI who are the inventors of the six-week cycle.
	A couple days early, March 1st was supposed to be the date, For the six-week cycle.
	So they came with it a bit early.
	This is the best they could do?
	It's pretty pathetic.
	It really is.
	If you read the New York Times, I have the...
	Hold on a second.
	This is the description.
	Two young men living in Brooklyn were arrested, charged with plotting to travel thousands of miles to fight under the banner of the Islamic State.
	Well, before you get off the Comey thing, I do have this clip you gotta play.
	Do you want me to finish this one?
	Well, this is the Comey clip talking about this.
	Well, he's about to talk about it.
	Oh, okay.
	Let's see.
	I have homegrown violent extremist investigations in every single state.
	Until a few weeks ago, there was 49 states.
	Alaska had none, which I couldn't quite figure out.
	But Alaska has now joined the group.
	So they know who it is then?
	There's a guy.
	A guy.
	Go get him.
	Go get him.
	So we have investigators.
	This is another version of the same clip.
	This is his theme for the week.
	I want to play this because this is on Anderson Cooper's show.
	So he plays the clip and then he throws it and here she comes.
	This is like so pathetic.
	Fran Townsend, the CIA girl, comes on to add a little embellishment.
	I have homegrown violent extremist investigations in every single state.
	Until a few weeks ago, there was 49 states.
	Alaska had none, which I couldn't quite figure out.
	But Alaska has now joined the group.
	Welcome, Alaska!
	We have investigations of people in various stages of radicalizing in all 50 states.
	It's really interesting, I think, for a lot of people to hear that, because you don't, as much as we know about, you know, when we've seen what's happened around the world, and even here in the United States with the number of incidents, it's still kind of shocking to hear that, that in every state of the union there are investigations going on.
	And what he didn't say is that in every state of the union there's one.
	In certain communities, like New York, there's many more than one.
	The investigative resources are incredibly stretched.
	And so it's important in places like New York that they're working with the local police department to develop sources, to develop leads, and to do surveillance and follow them.
	Go away, Fran.
	Yeah, Fran.
	Let's pile on.
	Everyone was jumping on.
	Of course, we also are still waiting for the approval for the ratification of the joint proposal, a joint resolution for the authorized use of military force.
	We really need all of this stuff.
	It was piling on, piling on, piling on.
	It was ex-FBI guys.
	Everybody was being rolled out to just talk about this.
	...of people in various stages of radicalizing in all Listen to the rest of this report.
	Today in New York City, the latest plot to blow up Coney Island.
	Coney Island?
	Really?
	This is a goodie.
	Blow up Coney Island.
	You know what?
	Yeah.
	It's time to blow up Coney Island.
	It should redevelop.
	Yeah, really.
	Scheme authorities say by three Brooklyn men now in federal custody.
	According to this criminal complaint unsealed today, the men ages...
	What?
	It's two Brooklyn guys and a guy in Florida.
	Details, details.
	19, 24, and 30 from Uzbekistan.
	19 years old.
	This is not a man.
	This is a punk.
	This is a punk.
	He's just a blowhard kid.
	Stan in Kazakhstan plan to train with militants in Syria, hope to shoot police officers, FBI agents, or military members in the U.S., and even talked of assassinating President Obama.
	They get this poor schmuck to say that, and then they've got something.
	It's so...
	This is so wrong.
	And just staring at people.
	My version, I think, has a little more details.
	I think it's interesting.
	Play three boneheads arrested.
	Because they read from the transcript of the phone calls.
	Oh, nice.
	Breaking tonight, new signs of the sick ideology of ISIS infiltrating the United States.
	With word tonight that there are three arrests in New York City.
	And an ominous warning from the director of the FBI... Welcome everybody to The Kelly File.
	I'm Martha McCallum, in for Megan Kelly.
	So as we continue to witness these atrocities, these kidnappings, these beheadings at the hands of ISIS, the threat now...
	They set it up.
	They set the scene.
	I know.
	By the way, I love watching Clayton Morris, Natalie Morris' husband on Fox, talking about this stuff.
	Ugh.
	He's like, yeah, it's all these beheadings and Clayton.
	And Kennedy now.
	Kennedy, who broke my ass in the MTV shoot.
	She's also on Fox.
	This is pathetic.
	You people are pathetic.
	It's closer to home today because three men originally in this country, legally, now face charges.
	Two nabbed here in New York.
	They were living in Brooklyn.
	The other in Florida.
	Two planned to wage jihad overseas.
	And if they couldn't get there...
	They threaten to kill Americans.
	One of their target, the President of the United States.
	It comes on the same day that the FBI director reveals his agents are inspecting and investigating suspicious people in pretty much every corner of America.
	Chris Gallagher joins us now with a full report from our West Coast newsroom.
	Hi, Trace.
	I think you could have cut that whole opening...
	I'm sorry, you're right.
	Here's the actual report that is fun.
	I'm Martha.
	The FBI says plan A was for the men to join ISIS. Maybe hijack a plane to Syria.
	Plan B hijack a plane to Syria.
	How do you do that?
	Just walk up.
	Hey, neuter.
	Oh, this is nuts.
	He was to launch terror attacks in the U.S. to bomb Coney Island and possibly kill FBI agents.
	The criminal complaint says the youngest suspect, 19-year-old Akwar Sadametov from Kazakhstan, said, quote, We will go purchase one handgun, then go and shoot one police officer.
	Boom.
	Boom.
	Then take his gun, bullets, and bulletproof vest.
	Then we will go to the FBI headquarters.
	Boom.
	Kill the FBI people.
	The two other suspects from Uzbekistan had other plans.
	24-year-old Abdurazal Jeruboav wrote on an Uzbek website, quote, is it possible to commit ourselves?
	You know, I would just like to see one blink to the Uzbek website.
	That's all.
	It's not a huge journalistic feat that I'm asking for.
	Please show me the Uzbek website.
	What is this, Uzbek WordPress?
	What exactly is your Uzbek website?
	This is so crap.
	Jeroboam wrote on an Uzbek website, quote, Is it possible to commit ourselves as dedicated martyrs anyway while here?
	What I'm saying is to shoot Obama and then get shot ourselves.
	Will it do?
	Jeroboam was gunning for Obama to avenge the U.S. airstrikes against ISIS. The FBI had the suspects under surveillance for months, but New York Police Commissioner William Bratton says this was real.
	It's real!
	Oh!
	You should have told me it was real.
	It's real, sorry.
	By the way, I just want to do a little side note here.
	This Martha McCallum who took over from Megyn Kelly for a couple weeks is an idiot.
	And I have a small clip, very small.
	This is the brain-dead Martha with Dana Perino, the cute little ex.
	Yeah, the spokeshole.
	With Dana Perino.
	I just have a small clip.
	And tell me what's wrong with this clip.
	Why not say we'll meet behind closed doors?
	Their complaint about that is ridiculous.
	And that came up late in the game.
	And that was not their initial response, correct?
	Netanyahu didn't set the deadline of the Iran talks to be right by his election.
	We did that.
	And so when Rice and Kerry are actively campaigning against Netanyahu in America, they're the ones who are making this more political than he is.
	Tina, thank you very much.
	Really odd situation.
	We're going to see how it plays out.
	Good to see you.
	We'll see you on the 5.
	Thanks, Tina.
	So, comment up tonight also.
	She calls her Tina.
	Tina.
	Why'd she call her Tina?
	Thanks, Tina, for coming in.
	She mixed up Perino Tina, Perino Dana.
	Oh, okay.
	Wow.
	Tina.
	Well, it happens.
	It does happen, but come on.
	It shouldn't happen.
	I got to wrap this up.
	So there were some hearings, and again, bringing out retired dudes onto Capitol Hill.
	General John Allen, retired.
	Oh, that guy.
	That's the guy who was having the affair with the girl who was having the affair with the other, with Petraeus' girlfriend.
	No questions about that, unfortunately.
	But you get, who is this?
	I forget who was asking the question.
	John Allen, I think, was kicked out because of that.
	Oh, but now he's like some expert witness when they need to, I think, just have answers that are pre-planned.
	When I'm an expert witness, they try to demean me as much as they can, the other side.
	Oh, no, this is all thank you for your service and everything.
	But it's kind of interesting.
	So he kind of gets wrapped, he gets caught in his own words.
	So he's going to start off by, you know, of course we know everything.
	Yeah, we're tracking them.
	We know everything, but we really maybe don't know.
	In your testimony, you say that ISIS has lost half its Iraq-based leadership.
	How do we know that?
	Good question.
	I'm sorry.
	Say again your question, sir.
	Oh, shit!
	Wait a minute!
	This wasn't what we rehearsed.
	You said that ISIS has lost half of its Iraq-based leadership.
	How do we know that?
	Do we have pretty good intelligence from that standpoint?
	We actually do have pretty good intelligence from that standpoint.
	I thought he's retired.
	Wait a minute, this guy's not in the CIA or anything?
	But what he says, if you listen, the question is, do we have pretty good intelligence?
	He says, yes, we actually do have pretty good intelligence.
	What is that?
	I want outstanding intelligence.
	I don't want pretty good.
	But he's just repeating the question because he doesn't know.
	And then he goes on to not know really how pretty good the intelligence is.
	I'm sorry.
	Say again your question, sir.
	You said that ISIS has lost half of its Iraq-based leadership.
	How do we know that?
	Do we have pretty good intelligence from that standpoint?
	We actually do have pretty good intelligence on this matter.
	In the process of tracking the elements within the senior echelons of...
	Within the process of tracking the senior elements within the echelons of the...
	Speak English, man.
	ISIL's leadership.
	We have been tracking.
	Tracking?
	And systematically as we're able to find them dealing with them.
	How would he know any of this?
	What?
	He's out.
	He doesn't know any.
	Just bring these guys up and they say anything.
	Yes.
	Hey, Alan, we got all expensive.
	We can put you up in a hotel, fly in first class.
	Oh, it has to be coached.
	Sorry, you have to upgrade yourself.
	Come on out and we'll have dinner.
	And we'll get you a meeting with some senior guys so you can hang out.
	We'll get you a meeting with some of the consultants that we work with.
	Who does he work for right now?
	Well, let's find out.
	You can keep playing and I'll look him up.
	Okay.
	We're able to find them dealing with them.
	You also said that in the last six months we have amply demonstrated that ISIL is a little more than a criminal gang and a death cult, which now finds itself under increasing pressure, sending naive and gullible recruits to die by the hundreds.
	What's your evaluation of the accretion versus degradation ratio?
	I mean, how many people are coming into the battle, actually being drawn in...
	His smoke coming out of the ears, because he was just asked, what is the accretion versus the...
	That was a good sentence, by the way.
	Who's this maniac asking these questions?
	By the hundreds.
	What's your evaluation of the accretion versus degradation?
	The accretion versus the degradation.
	I guess he wants to know if we're...
	Oh, wait a minute.
	Hold on.
	If we're saving or creating jihadis.
	After retiring, he, on this last, just September...
	Let me guess.
	Let me guess.
	Is it one of the Homeland Security consultancy groups?
	It's similar.
	The United States appointed General Allen as Special Presidential Envoy of the Global Coalition to Counter ISIL. What the hell is this?
	Well, yeah, he should.
	Okay, so he should know if there is accretion versus degradation of recruits to ISIL. Is the line trending up or down?
	I think that is the question.
	That's the question.
	Let's see if he knows.
	Do I ask that just like that?
	It sounds better when you use a word like accretion.
	Accretion is sexy.
	It's a Wall Street word.
	How many people are coming into the battle actually being drawn and recruited by what they see in ISIS versus the people that really are dying?
	Well, I think that's a difficult number to...
	Wait a minute.
	You said you were tracking everybody.
	Is it positive or negative?
	I'm struggling here.
	What are you asking me?
	Joining the fight versus what we're able to...
	Shut up for the meeting.
	That's right.
	Did you not read your briefings?
	He says, you know, I know all this stuff.
	Just ask away.
	I can wing it.
	I can wing it.
	And then this comes up.
	Joining the fight versus what we're able to degrade?
	I'd say two things.
	The numbers are up.
	The numbers are up?
	Okay.
	All right.
	John, the numbers are up.
	The numbers are up?
	What does that mean?
	Accretion, decrease?
	It's funny.
	And the numbers are up because we're now tracking the numbers in ways we haven't before.
	What?
	Well, that doesn't make sense.
	So you're just tracking more numbers.
	He just says the numbers are up because now we're actually counting.
	I think the numbers are also up because of the so-called caliphate.
	And that has created, in some respects, a magnetism for those elements that want to be part of this.
	They want to support this emergence within their own sense of their faith.
	Hey, General Allen, you're talking shit.
	This guy got this job.
	It's apparently just part of the drinking club.
	He doesn't know anything.
	And they drag him out.
	And I'm sure he gets chewed out for this.
	We dragged you out for this one time.
	You don't do anything.
	We pay you a good amount of money.
	You can't even get this right.
	You can wing it.
	Wait until you hear this one.
	So this is another obvious question.
	How do we defeat ISIS? ISIL. How do we defeat it?
	These are the things he should have ready-made answers for, but you actually see it.
	It would be nice if you could see the video.
	He makes this face like, really, dude, you're asking me this?
	It's really funny to watch his face.
	Why are you doing this to me, man?
	It relies on territorial gains or holding on territory.
	Is that part of defeat?
	Is deny them all territory?
	Absolutely.
	So we're talking about...
	Pretty much decimation, correct?
	That's what Secretary Kerry, that was the word he used, decimate.
	I love the word decimate because the true definition of the word is to kill one guy for every ten.
	Yeah, so decimating there would be killing a tenth of them.
	A ten percent.
	How's that going to help?
	And for some reason this is now accepted as decimate means in people's minds that you're bringing it down to ten percent of what it used to be, but it's not.
	It is truly every 10 guys.
	It's just a definition.
	One out of 10.
	You've got to think that they're doing this on purpose.
	Yeah, we're going to decimate them, which is not a lie.
	We'll kill 10%.
	I think that they're doing it on purpose, John.
	That's what I would do.
	Decimate.
	Good word.
	Good word.
	Nobody understands.
	Like after Nazi Germany, a few people scattered maybe around the world, but pretty well decimation.
	That's not exactly what I'm hearing out of you.
	Well, we can apply whatever term you'd like to.
	Decimation is clearly one of the terms that we might apply to it.
	We want them to have no operational capability in the end.
	Check it out.
	That means break them up into small organizations that don't have the capacity, as it begins to attempt the mass, to be a threat.
	Define a small organization.
	Define small organization.
	The guy looks at him like, really?
	Really, you dick?
	Why are you pushing me through this ringer?
	Come on.
	You know I'm here to just make it all...
	Come on, man.
	Don't ask these questions.
	Again, I'm just trying to get some sense of what we mean by defeat a business.
	No, you're being a dick to me.
	It sounds great, you know, denying operational capabilities.
	Are we talking about taking 30,000 down to 500?
	Are we taking 30,000 down to 10,000 broken up into 10 different groups?
	It will take time.
	It will take time that will ultimately be realized in a number of ways.
	It'll be by...
	Breaking up the organization through kinetic and military surface terrestrial means.
	It'll take time to reduce the message and the attractiveness that gives it the capacity to regenerate its forces.
	It'll take time ultimately to deny it access to the international financial system that gives it the capabilities of restoring itself or generating...
	How does that take time?
	I don't know.
	I mean, this is some ass enemy we're up against, huh?
	You can't even find their bank accounts.
	All of those things together, if we deny them that access, if we can defeat their messaging in the information sphere and we can break them up into small groups that can't mask to be operationally significant, then that's defeat.
	Wow.
	Well, good luck with that.
	That's really quite unbelievable.
	That's the most meaningless answer I've ever heard.
	Because he has no, absolutely no answers.
	It's just a big show.
	A big farcical, farcical show.
	I have to show you this one image.
	Um.
	Was it Thursday?
	Maybe it was last Thursday that we had the new ISIS, ISIL, I think they called ISIS, ISIL video with the multiple cages of all these different people wanting to be burned alive.
	And this is with the guy with the mic cube.
	This is the new ISIS video.
	With the mic flag.
	But I got a tweet from someone, and there's a screenshot, which you have to see.
	Go to this URL, itm.im slash Isis Cage, I-S-I-S-C-A-G-E. And look at the screenshot here.
	Of the guy with the mic cube and he's talking...
	Domain blacklisted.
	This domain has been blacklisted.
	How can that be?
	That must be blacklisted on your...
	The short URL has been deleted from our record.
	Who's saying this?
	No agenda.
	It just worked for me.
	Well, it didn't work for me.
	I got a big no agenda logo and it says you do no agenda.
	I think you've been blacklisted.
	You've been blacklisted.
	Well, then you blacklisted me.
	I didn't blacklist you.
	I don't control this domain.
	Okay, go to isiscage.noagendanotes.com Damn it.
	Okay, you there?
	Not yet.
	Okay.
	You have to remember that when I type in stuff, I have to do it with one finger at a time because it's way behind.
	It's behind the microphone and all the gear and I have to reach out.
	I'm sorry.
	To type.
	All right.
	And here you will see a screenshot.
	What do you see in the screenshot?
	Did you get it?
	Yeah, I got the screenshot.
	There's a...
	Oh, that is unbelievable.
	Describe what you see.
	Okay, so there's a guy in a cage, and there's a guy with a microphone and his little thing around it.
	He's an SM58, probably a clone.
	And then you see just over his head the lock that's holding the cage to keep the door from opening.
	He's got the key in it.
	Dangling. Dangling. Dangling.
	This is, I mean, come on.
	And you know what?
	Hedge will roll.
	This is the thing that they're underestimating.
	Because eventually, there's no way you can really fool everybody in internet world.
	You're going to make mistakes and they're going to be picked up.
	It's just going to happen.
	Oh no, the smallest of small errors will be picked up.
	Yeah, and this has got to be one of my favorites.
	I really do enjoy the little key hanging out there.
	This is stupid.
	This is so stupid.
	Okay, so this has been spun into the six-week cycle.
	Well, there's still an opportunity over the next seven days for something bigger to happen.
	Hmm.
	But I get the sense that Coney is something of a slouch, and I don't think he knows how to set up these, like, you know, Mueller and these other guys have had a clue.
	You know, they had a black ops thing going on, and it was probably...
	Yeah, good point.
	I think he probably...
	He thinks this is a big deal.
	He thinks it's a good one, yeah.
	He has no idea.
	God, this will be good.
	He hasn't studied all the previous bullcrap six-week cycle things that have been set up.
	Nonsense.
	Yeah, like the guy in the...
	My favorite is the cop burnt to death in the Los Angeles Hills, and then they bring out all his weaponry that is just spotless.
	Pristine.
	It was never even in a fire.
	How could that even be there?
	Pristine.
	Well, this, I think, coincides nicely with what happened with John Kerry.
	John Kerry was testifying before Congress and said that...
	It's not a big deal what's going on here in the world.
	And Fox, again, who seems to be the most bloodthirsty network, here is the one-two punch here.
	Play the clip Fox Goes Nuts over Kerry's comments.
	Okie dokie.
	...beach in Libya.
	Yet today, Secretary of State John Kerry said this...
	Truth is that notwithstanding the threat of ISIL, notwithstanding people being beheaded publicly and burned publicly and the atrocities that they are perpetrating, and it is a serious, serious challenge to us, notwithstanding that,
	there is actually less threat And less probability of people dying in some sort of violent conflict today than at any time in human history.
	Really?
	Mark Thiessen joins us.
	He's former chief speechwriter for President George W. Bush and a Fox News contributor.
	How can John Kerry say that, Mark?
	What on earth is he talking about?
	I mean, that is just absurd.
	I mean, put aside all the things that we...
	Think of the ratings, moron!
	...you showed on your air.
	200,000 people have died in Syria while this administration stood on the sidelines and did nothing.
	I mean, he says it's less likely than ever that someone's going to get killed in a conflict.
	Tell that to the families of the Americans who are beheaded by ISIS. How many families of Americans were beheaded by ISIS? Tons.
	One?
	Two?
	We don't even know.
	300 million people in this country?
	So Kerry steps in it by saying, you know, which is what we say on our show, more or less, This is the safest time you've ever lived.
	This is bullcrap.
	We're safe.
	Quit being so panicky and crazy.
	It was very strange.
	It was three hours, this guy.
	And it could have been an hour and 45 minutes, but it's the way he talks.
	It's the way he talks.
	He's so ultimately annoying.
	Well, he says this at the end, and so now Fox in particular, I mean, you just have to wonder about these.
	And so the guy that I always thought was at least, you know, kind of an intellectual about the whole thing, Charles Krauthammer, gets into a beef.
	He's on the Bret Baier show, and he's all over this, and they do a segment on it, and he says the following...
	This idea that we are not in the middle of a world war, it's not the Battle of Verdun, it's not D-Day, is somewhat irrelevant.
	The real issue is what's happening to American influence, what's happening to American interests, and what's happening to American allies and adversaries.
	The other guys are on the march.
	You see it in Iran, you see it across the Shiite crescent, you see what happened in Yemen, the panicked evacuation of a U.S. embassy.
	And they are pretending that our threats are lower.
	Their own heads of intelligence have spoken to Congress and said that the hair stands on the back of their heads as a result of the threats that they are seeing, and it is the highest since 9-11.
	Boo.
	The hair on the back of their neck is standing up because they look at the budget and they say, oh my God.
	We need more money.
	We need more money.
	I did like Kerry asking for more propaganda money.
	I thought that...
	Did you see this part?
	No, you have a clip?
	Mm-hmm.
	Russia today can be heard in English.
	Ooh.
	Do we have an equivalent that can be heard in Russian?
	Yeah.
	No.
	No, we don't.
	Waste of America.
	I don't think it's in Russian.
	No, I don't think there's any Russian language.
	It's all American.
	And Liberty Free Europe, Liberty Radio.
	That's a pretty expensive proposition.
	Mm-hmm.
	They're spending huge amounts of money with speaking languages that other people understand and putting out information that other people understand in other countries.
	Not only is it in Russian, but I have a webpage for it.
	Oh, okay.
	Well, then he's full of crap.
	But he was asking money.
	To increase the propaganda broadcast.
	They're asking for money constantly, these people.
	This is a bill that was put in for the Broadcast Board of Governors.
	This is to increase, I think we talked about this a couple months ago, this is to increase the propaganda budget.
	It's way up there.
	Moscow turned off Voice of America in April last year.
	Ah, there you go.
	That's what he's bitching about.
	Here's RT refuting this.
	It's kind of funny.
	They put numbers to their operation and to the Broadcast Board of Governors.
	About RT spending a lot of money.
	Let's just look at the facts.
	And those are completely open figures.
	RT's budget for 2015, it's not a secret, stands at $220 million.
	I didn't know that.
	We could use that kind of dough.
	Shit, yeah.
	$220 million, not a secret.
	Well, the budget of the BBG for the very same year stands at $721 million.
	That's the Broadcast Board of Governors.
	So they got a nice little chunk of change there.
	Yeah, we should just go do that.
	Well, anyway, let me finish my little bit here, because it's amusing, because there's a punchline.
	Scott Hammer is on and on, he's pounding the drum, war, war, we're going to all die, it's horrible, the world's never been worse.
	So they have George Will on, who is the other conservative writer that's been around forever, but you don't see him anymore, because he's been sidelined.
	Because he is kind of the voice of reason, at least now.
	He says, yeah, this is bullcrap.
	So he comes back, he's on this panel, after there's another guy there, which is very similar, another tub thumper.
	But Will is the voice of reason, and he's already said once that he thinks this is, that what Kerry said is probably true.
	It's a safe world that we're in compared to where it used to be.
	So he comes in with the follow-up to Krauthimer, and then they close the segment before they can...
	Finally close it, Krauthimer jumps in for a last gasp little punch.
	Still, by whatever metric you want to pick, it does seem to me that the danger of a human being on this planet dying from organized military force and violence is exceptionally low today.
	So you're buying the carry stat?
	By and large, he's right.
	Between, as Charles said, everything's fine, and we're in imminent peril, there is a middle ground, and that's where we are.
	Next up.
	Oh, go ahead.
	Wait until Iran has the bomb.
	That calculation will change radically.
	Bullshit.
	Wait until they've had the bomb, man.
	Oh, let's ask Miss USA about that.
	All right.
	Judge number one, Manny Pacquiao, your question, please.
	If you were given 30 seconds to deliver a message to a global terrorist, what would you say?
	We need to kill them.
	We need to kill them.
	Are we morons?
	We need to bomb them.
	Bomb them.
	Yeah!
	Amen.
	Fist bump.
	Perfect.
	Nice one.
	Yeah, that's a good one.
	That's a good one.
	Man.
	Here's Lindsey Graham.
	He has a different opinion.
	I agree with the Texas judge who said that the executive orders were illegal.
	I hope Republicans will come together and back the court case, file a friend of the court brief with the court.
	This is, of course, this is all going to end.
	The funding bill was passed by Congress and they slipped in a whole bunch of stuff to stop the so-called amnesty, whatever.
	Politics as usual.
	Lindsey Graham, not on board with that.
	He said, no, no, we have to fund DHS because we're going to kill people.
	And fund DHS. I am willing and ready to pass a DHS funding bill and let this play out in court.
	The worst possible outcome for this nation is to defund the Department of Homeland Security, given the multiple threats we face to our homeland, and I will not be part of that.
	Okay, you won't be, but can you get it through the House?
	Time will tell.
	I hope my House colleagues will understand that our best bet is to challenge this in court, that if we don't fund the Department of Homeland Security, we'll get blamed as a party.
	And to anyone who's watching the world as it is, I've never seen more terrorist organizations with more safe haven, with more money, with more capability to strike the homeland than I do today.
	And that's a direct result of a failed foreign policy by President Obama.
	That's right.
	Ready to strike the homeland.
	The homeland.
	Homeland.
	I think it's from some science fiction or something.
	When I was a kid, the word homeland...
	Yeah, we didn't use that.
	It was never used.
	No.
	Homeland, like it's...
	Oh, the homeland.
	It's a Nazi thing.
	Yeah, it's a very fascist-sounding thing.
	Yeah, yeah, of course.
	The Vaterland.
	I was watching...
	I put it in the show notes...
	Because it's about an hour.
	It's a Disney produced propaganda movie, animation really, about the Nazis and how the Nazis came to be.
	And it's really, although it doesn't have subtitles and there's a lot of German in it, the German is Hochdeutsch.
	It's very understandable if you speak a little bit of Actually, I turned on the YouTube closed caption.
	That was pretty hilarious.
	It finds English words.
	I didn't know that that's how it worked, but it finds English words for the German that's being spoken on screen.
	Very, very strange.
	But they have all of the...
	It's like, first Hans goes to kindergarten, which is exactly like in America.
	I've seen this.
	Where he learns.
	Yeah, and then they're all like, Heil Hitler, Heil Hitler.
	There's a overdubbed version of it around.
	That is probably funny.
	Or is it a serious overdubbed version?
	No, it's a good overview.
	I mean, not a funny one.
	They put out one that has, in English.
	All right.
	All right.
	Well, I think we should, there are a couple other big topics, some things happening today, including some packet equality votes, and we'll get to that after I thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you, John C., where the C stands for Caliphate Dvorak.
	In the morning, you, Adam Curry.
	In the morning, all ships at sea, boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water, and all the dames and knights out there.
	In the morning, everyone there in the chat room, noagendastream.com.
	Thank you very much for checking us out today once again.
	Also in the morning to our artiste, Neil Campbell, brought us the artwork for episode 6, 9, or 8.
	And Martin J.J. did the artwork for the newsletter.
	Nice.
	Neil, we know Neil.
	Neil has had a couple of submissions.
	He used to produce Geek Brief.
	Oh yeah, he's the, yeah.
	Yeah.
	So it was nice.
	He nailed it.
	He just nailed it.
	It was a good one.
	Nailed it.
	Noagendaartgenerator.com, definitely give that a perusal.
	If you're just looking for a laugh, because some of that stuff is hilarious.
	And it really is.
	Yes, it is.
	Some of it's obviously just put there for the purposes of the passers-by.
	And this being a value-for-value proposition, this program, where you are not some kind of product we're packaging up and giving to advertisers, you actually produce the show with information, with insights, with feedback, and financially.
	And just like Hollywood, we like to hand out executive producer and associate executive producer credits right at the top for people who came in with the top financial support for this episode.
	Yes, and there's a few, including Sir Adam Johnson.
	Don't call me Johnson.
	77777 from Plymouth, Minnesota.
	Nuts.
	Is this in anticipation of our 700th episode on Sunday?
	Well, I don't know.
	We might as well give him the double credit.
	Yeah.
	Greetings, Adam and John.
	Thank you for your courage and your outstanding analysis of the topics from mainstream distractions to non-covered news stories of the day.
	I couldn't decide which seven-year anniversary amount to send you, so I decided to send you all of them at once.
	I figured I could be the lucky sevens amount.
	This donation should also jumpstart my way to becoming a baron on my 33rd birthday this coming October.
	Lastly, could I please get some homebrew karma for me and my friends as we meet together and toil away many a Saturday night brewing beer, bottling beer, or both?
	Absolutely.
	You need some karma for that.
	You've got karma.
	Very nice.
	Sir Felix Camici in Farmington, Connecticut, 700.
	And he'll get a double producer's credit.
	Thank you for your courage.
	I am Romanian living in the U.S. So there, a Romanian donation for the best podcast in the universe.
	There you go.
	Short and sweet.
	Perfect.
	Like the Romanian women.
	Before their thoughts.
	Sergene Natuliev.
	Ah, Baron de Marriott, Sheriff of Texas.
	Exactly.
	334.
	I'm escaping cold weather in Austin by spending time in the lands of Duke Melanson.
	If global warming is science, we have a serious problem.
	Adam, don't forget to send John his wallet.
	Yes.
	Ah, this is the, do you recall he did a Kickstarter and it's kind of this cool minimalist credit card holder made of carbon, carbon fiber, and we have one for you.
	Which I will send to the P.O. Box.
	I'm pretty good at that.
	You have a childhood trauma, I believe, with sending things.
	Just sending things.
	People do not use me as a remailer.
	It takes months before I go to the post office.
	No, you never send anything to me.
	Ever.
	I don't think you've ever...
	No.
	Didn't I send something once?
	No.
	No.
	But why?
	Why is it...
	Is this a...
	I don't know, that's why I'm not in a company where I have to ship product.
	If you haven't noticed.
	But also, don't send stuff to me to send to John, because although I don't have the childhood trauma, it's a pain in the ass.
	Yeah, just send directly.
	It's not impossible to get our mailing addresses, and mine's public.
	My P.O. Box is 41958, Austin, Texas, 78704.
	Do not send donations to my P.O. Box.
	No, then he has to send it to me.
	It's really complicated.
	He doesn't like doing that either.
	The donations go to the box.
	It says very clearly on every mailing we do, box 339 El Cerrito, California, 94530.
	You can rewind that.
	And Gene, I have to remind you to send the money clip for that, and he obviously has a request.
	No, no, no, no!
	Yes, he does.
	By Ayn Rand.
	It says it right there.
	Oh yeah.
	Richard Moffat.
	I'm Moffat.
	In Milwaukee, Wisconsin, sent two checks.
	One for $100 and one for $2, $14, $15, making a total of $3, $14, $15.
	I thought he'd get the total so he gets executive producer.
	He closed to find two checks to help support the best podcast in the universe.
	And the one for $100 is to help with the cost to produce the newsletter.
	That's nice.
	I would like to be included on your mailing list.
	You'll find my address on the checks.
	There's a link on every show notes page.
	Everywhere.
	And on the homepage of noagendashow.com where you can sign up.
	Yeah, just click.
	Yeah, just click on it and you're good to go.
	Thanks for everything you guys do to keep the listeners informed on what's really happening in the news.
	Thank you.
	All right.
	Sir Gordon Walton in Austin, Texas, right down the street from you.
	Wow, wow.
	2, 4, 5, 6, 7.
	Golden Knight, Golden Wallace, Boner No More, promoting my game, Crowfall Kickstarter campaign.
	Crowfall.
	Crowfall.
	Which has kept me from donating for a year.
	And you need some business karma.
	Alright, here it is for your Kickstarter business, Karma Crowfall.
	You've got Karma.
	C-R-O-W-F-A-L-L. Crowfall.
	He has a crow.
	Crowfall.
	John Hastings, Sir Face of FEMA 5.
	2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
	It's funny, Walton's was 2, 4, 5, 6, 7.
	That's interesting.
	Huh.
	I have to say that this has changed my life.
	Oh, God.
	It's like having half a wife.
	Hey, add this to my to-do list.
	The top or the bottom half?
	Yeah.
	The process.
	I actually find myself, I'll say like, you know, I won't say her first name because she does respond to it.
	Which, by the way, what a security hole all these things are.
	Yeah.
	Okay, Google.
	Yeah.
	Delete my files.
	Okay, Google.
	Delete my files.
	Hey, Siri, turn off all alarms.
	Hey Siri, turn off all alarms.
	Hey Siri, turn on Do Not Disturb.
	Okay Google, cancel my trip.
	Do you realize what a security hole this is?
	Yes, and people have bitched at it because when we do this on the show, it triggers a whole bunch of...
	But just wait until it's like, Alexa, order that really expensive thing for Adam.
	You know, it'll order it.
	Yeah, no, this is not good.
	Just imagine a television show can do this.
	If everyone buys into these, I don't understand.
	It is a huge security hole that no one talks about.
	I've talked about it since the 80s.
	Well...
	I have always talked about it.
	Info World columns where I say the following lines.
	I reuse it.
	Because they were talking about voice recognition.
	Oh, we're going to have voice recognition.
	And I said, here's the problem with voice recognition.
	You have a large office.
	Somebody runs into the office and yells, format drive C! That's how old the joke is.
	Try format 5C. Alright, you win.
	You win the internet with that one.
	Anyway, let's finish off with Josh's...
	Okay, Google.
	Delete all email.
	I'd like to give a shout-out to Mr.
	and Mrs.
	Tony Boom, their future human resource, and to my wonderful girlfriend.
	Love you, baby.
	Finally, I could use some job karma.
	Thank you for your courage and keep up the great work.
	All right.
	Sir, that was...
	Sir Face of FEMA 5?
	No.
	Yes.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	You've got...
	Okay, Google, post that picture.
	Yusef Agassi in Westland, Michigan.
	$200.
	Long note.
	I've been listening to your show for about a year and have not donated since Uncle Sam has released some of my stolen slave wages.
	I've decided to pass on the fortune.
	I've watched Twit on and off for years and I always saw John plugging the No Agenda show.
	Jeez, how much do I have to do before I get somebody to listen?
	Really?
	Last year I finally became, which by the way says to me that again the internet is not the greatest sales tool in the world.
	Last year, I finally became curious and decided to give it a listen.
	I had distanced myself from a certain seed seller after he had David Icke on trying to convince the viewers that the elites were lizard people.
	So, you know, we're not completely...
	I'm not in on that.
	You know, you never know.
	So to come upon a show that was cynical and reasonable made me overjoyed.
	It also helped that you made me laugh, where the seed seller was depressing.
	I would say yes.
	Yeah, there's a Mr.
	Humor.
	If you could sell ads to the seed seller, there'd be no telling how many people you'd get hit in the mouth.
	You would get hit in the mouth.
	I started listening to your show from the beginning.
	I'm at show 140.
	Ugh.
	I wanted to address your deconstruction of the Muslim women talking on Rachel Maddow's show when she was talking of Muslim kids being executed.
	Adam said, wait a minute, I miss the kids being executed news.
	Yeah, a lot of people sent this in.
	But it was a little more cavalier than this specific example.
	What state is that taking place?
	And, well, indeed, Adam, missed that news, and I was surprised it was not even mentioned on the show last week and the week before February 10th.
	Three, Muslim honor students were killed execution-style on Chapel Hill.
	Well, I don't know that they were killed execution-style.
	That was a Chapel Hill...
	And they weren't kids, they were adults, young adults, to begin with.
	So this is not, your argument is not valid.
	A newlywed couple are not two kids.
	Anyways, but there was a condo dispute.
	And by the way, the thing that was never mentioned on the Rachel Maddow show, I don't know if you know this, but that guy, huge Democrat and Rachel Maddow fan, that's why this thing never showed up again in the news, by the way.
	It's a very funny side light.
	This is the murder.
	It was a local murder.
	I mean, this is not the kind of stuff that we talk about on this show.
	I look forward to becoming a knight soon.
	Can I please get a Chemtrails?
	It's real and bingo boom shakalaka.
	Thanks for the hard work.
	Yousef Higazi in Westland, Michigan.
	For those of you who have a tax refund, you should chip in and support the show.
	Yes.
	Chemtrails.
	It's real!
	Bingo boom boom shakalaka.
	Boom boom boom shakalaka.
	Boom boom shakalaka.
	Boom shakalaka.
	Boom shak Thank you very much, Yousef.
	Yes, it's a funny coincidence that that story is Chapel Hill has just died on the vine because it doesn't fall into the right narrative.
	The narrative is the narrative.
	It's not the narrative, so too bad.
	Local murder.
	Sir Metal Mike Underwood in Loveland, Ohio, $200.
	ITM gentlemen, once again I'm participating in the Value for Value model in support of the best podcast in the universe.
	When last time I donated to become an Insta Knight back in episode 666, I humbly asked for some home buying karma.
	My brother, Corrin Underwood from Hamilton, Ohio, also garnered some home buying karma through his donation I am pleased to report back that it worked.
	Woohoo!
	It worked!
	It worked!
	My family and I have completed the purchase of our first home.
	Congratulations.
	And we'll be moving early in March.
	The karma must have gone above and beyond because I also got a promotion, two pay raises, and won a corporate award for my company since last time.
	If specific karma could do so much, I want to know what general karma, where it can go.
	Wow.
	I would like to request we need to kill them.
	Her head is gone.
	It was worth it.
	And one final note, I've never received my certificate.
	The rings are in.
	They're still not in.
	They won't be until the middle of March.
	In a couple more weeks.
	They come from China.
	Or somebody.
	I don't know where they come from.
	I think they have to be shipped.
	And then you can complain.
	But this is...
	It's coming.
	The check is in the mail.
	Check's in the mail.
	But Eric's on the stick.
	And this is probably my fault for not giving him the money to buy the rings.
	Oh, stooge.
	Scrooge.
	Stingy, scroogey man.
	You gain interest.
	We get like 1.000% interest.
	So if you have $1,000 and you keep in the bank for five years, you get two bucks.
	A buck, yeah.
	All right, Mr.
	Metal Mike, here's your little sequence.
	We need to kill them.
	We need to kill them.
	And her head is gone.
	It was worth it.
	It was worth it.
	You've got karma.
	All right.
	In that sequence, Dr.
	Kiki sounds like a ghoul.
	Jorgen Andersen in Sweden, $200.
	Gutenberg, Gutenberg, Gutenberg.
	Gottenberg, yes.
	Gottenberg.
	Gottenberg.
	The reason we're struggling is because PayPal is not in this century.
	They're still pre-Y2K. It says G, or J for Jorgen, it's J and then some symbol.
	Yeah, not an O. Just like a carat.
	Yeah.
	And then Gothenburg or Gutenberg is a mess.
	Hello, thanks for keeping me sane and making my life a lot harder to live since I'm all in questioning the news.
	Makes my life a lot harder to live since I'm all in on questioning the news.
	Okay.
	It makes most people's lives easier.
	Yeah.
	My friends probably think I'm a weird, weirded dude, but what the hell?
	I enjoy it.
	I just want to say that I have a girlfriend with autism and probably Tourette's too.
	Oh, hot.
	After listening to Adam about his view of Tourette's as a superpower, I started to study my girlfriend's moves a lot more.
	I can only say that Adam was right.
	Uh-huh.
	People with some sort of disorder have superpowers.
	My girlfriend is extremely sensitive to noises and movement.
	She's also really quick to catch falling objects.
	That's my superpower.
	We laugh.
	She should be a baseball player.
	Send a video of her.
	I want to see her tics.
	We laugh a lot.
	Enjoy and share a secret.
	No.
	We laugh a lot.
	And I love her even more for her superpowers.
	It's not too much to ask.
	I would like to hear the mac and cheese song, a job karma for everyone, and the ISIS song with vanilla ice.
	While you're at it, deduce me since I have been bad in both the past and current real life, and here is a first-time donor, but I have been a listener for a while.
	Dr.
	Diffin from Gothenburg.
	Okay, it wants mac and cheese, job karma, and the Isis, which I probably should.
	Vanilla ice.
	Oh, hmm.
	Ice, ice, baby.
	Yeah, I know.
	Isis, Isis, baby.
	For some reason, this one always gets lost.
	ISIS. I don't know why that is.
	Here it is.
	I got it.
	And what was the other thing he wanted?
	He wanted a...
	A douching.
	Oh, a de-douching.
	Okay, here we go.
	You've been de-douched.
	You slaves can get used to mac and cheese.
	Mac and cheese.
	and cheap cheddar melted together.
	Mac and cheese, mac and cheese, mac and cheese.
	That's hot.
	Nice is nice as baby.
	I love butter.
	Isis, Isis, baby.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs.
	You thought karma happened.
	We're about to have a dinner, but first, we're going to share what we're most thankful for.
	I'm thankful for my friends.
	I'm thankful for basketball.
	I'm thankful for my family.
	I'm thankful for macaroni and cheese.
	That's what they're showing kids on TV. Yeah, of course.
	Put them right up there with family, God, and mac and cheese.
	Mac and cheese.
	Right where it belongs.
	I want to make sure that people realize we have a show on Sunday coming up.
	It'll be the show 700.
	And I'm going to bring something up here just on a donation basis for people who want to donate $700 to help us celebrate.
	We have one donor who will be given credit for $700, and he decided that he wants to dual credit.
	He did this in advance, but he decided to dual credit in advance.
	He wants to be producer of 707 or something up the road.
	Right.
	So he gets his dual producers in reverse order.
	Anybody who sends in $700 for this Sunday show, a couple, and you want a second producership somewhere in the future, if you give us the number of the show and then remind us when that show comes up, we will give you a gratuitous second producership.
	Wow, you're just giving the store away.
	Well, no, I figured we did it for one guy who's one of our rice daddies, one of our regular patrons.
	Yes.
	But why not just offer this to anyone else who wants to do this?
	Because it just seems unfair.
	I think it's a fine idea.
	I agree.
	I think it's a great idea.
	So I've decided that we're going to do it for one.
	It's like you're going to chew gum, everybody gets to chew gum.
	There you go.
	Anyway, dvorak.org slash NA, help us out.
	And a PR mention, Kiwi Cameron has re-upped the best podcast in the universe.com.
	Thank you very much.
	It was no longer registered, apparently.
	Just expired, yeah.
	Boy, so anybody could have grabbed it.
	Yeah.
	No, I would have been wrong.
	We are the only ones who can use this.
	Best podcast in the universe.
	Technically.
	He also continues to pay.
	He says, I continue to pay indefinitely for curryanddvorakconsulting.com and curryanddvorakconsultinggroup.com.
	Don't forget the double D's.
	We appreciate that, KiwiCam.
	Very, very kind.
	And thank you to everyone who supported us today for Episode 6, Niner Niner, one before the Big 700 show.
	Which will be on this Sunday.
	These credits are real.
	You can use them anywhere.
	Credits are recognized.
	And unlike the phonies in Hollywood, we, of course, will be very happy to vouch for you if that becomes necessary.
	Dvorak.org slash NA. The best podcast in the universe!
	That's right, and we always need you to be out there propagating our very important formula.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	Shut up, slave.
	Shut up, slave.
	Believe.
	Yeah.
	Should we do packet equality?
	Well, first I want to read a note.
	I want to read a note.
	All right.
	One of our grouchier supporters.
	I'm sending you guys this donation for a meager 700 pennies for a couple of reasons, but I thought you bastards would even...
	I doubt you bastards would even read this damn email.
	I only sent you seven bucks.
	Wow.
	The first and most important of which is that my five-year-old daughter was threatened with suspension from school the other day for making a gun with her damn pointer finger and supposedly shooting her teacher to five-year-old.
	Mm-hmm.
	This asinine bit of bullcrap apparently offends people nowadays.
	Anyway, this indecency reminded me why I listen to your show, because you two SOBs are not afraid to call out these oversensitive douchebags for the douchebags they are.
	Plus, you guys are the only ones around not telling us stupid slaves to shut the fuck up and even actually read out bitching to the masses at times, like this.
	Since I'm a cheap bastard and a poor stupid slave, you know, these notes don't have to be this profane, people.
	And a poor stupid slave, you only get seven bucks this time, but you'll get more later.
	But for now, be happy with what you get.
	Anyway, he says he wants to call out the Brush Creek Elementary School as douchebags.
	Douchebags!
	And I would say, why don't you take that BuzzFeed video that the president did with the selfie stick When he makes a gun with his fingers and goes in the mirror, why don't you show that to the school authorities and ask if the president should be suspended or if he's setting a good example for the five-year-olds?
	Yeah, the five-year-old sees the president do that, and she does it.
	She's five, and then the school gets irked.
	Yes, that suggestion is top drawer.
	Thank you.
	Very good.
	Anyway, it's a bit of a stick in the mud, but I felt that the anecdote was worth reading.
	So today is...
	Apparently there's going to be a vote.
	The FCC, the Federal Communications Commission, will be voting on the new proposal for rules for net neutrality.
	It appears to be...
	Exactly what the President's original plan was.
	I guess the way it's split up is we have three Democrats, two Republicans, and...
	I thought it was three and three.
	I don't know.
	I thought it was three and two.
	I could be wrong.
	I thought there was only five commissioners.
	Well, then it's two and two and a guy in the middle.
	So that would be three and two.
	You're right.
	And, of course, the only thing that we've been looking at really is...
	The term lawful content and lawful network traffic.
	These are the things that no one talks about.
	Well, actually, I think it was on Twitter.
	Did someone post a...
	Maybe you did a link to your...
	This is from last year, I believe.
	May.
	And I wrote one another year earlier.
	Every time I write one, I get less of...
	You're against net neutrality, scum!
	Yeah, so...
	Let me just summarize.
	One of the things in that article, which we'll have linked in the show notes, I would assume.
	It's in the show notes, of course.
	All along.
	In fact, I've noticed this with two different things.
	One with advertising.
	It started with advertising when the internet first showed up.
	People, every time any advertising was condemned.
	Oh, can't have advertising on the internet.
	This is going to ruin it.
	Which it did.
	Do you know that when I, in the early days, we're talking A90, 89, 90, and we had the Usenet groups?
	Oh.
	And I would go in there.
	At the time, did I have Adam at MTV.com?
	I think I had MTV.com, just his email address.
	And I would post something in a Usenet group, and people would be like, Go away, commercial whore!
	You're going to ruin the internet!
	Go away, MTV! Yeah.
	Just for posting.
	Just for posting.
	And then the next thing that came along was as the net grew and we saw a lot of...
	Online ticketing, airlines.
	Hey, that's kind of easy.
	Well, let's do that anyway.
	There was a bunch of complaining about, oh, this internet's fantastic.
	Don't let the government get involved.
	Right.
	Don't let the government get involved.
	They'll ruin it.
	Don't let the government get involved.
	And then all of a sudden this hysteria about net neutrality by all these boneheads and knee jerks.
	Well, it's not boneheads.
	These are people with very, very specific agendas.
	And this 4 million people who commented is all astroturf.
	I think I can probably count 20 different lobbying groups that were involved in this on all sides of the equation.
	And of course, everybody has a stake for their own personal win, but no one is talking about the obvious problems with this, which is now the regulation.
	We are.
	Well, yeah, we are the only ones.
	I think there's a few others.
	I don't think so.
	I really don't.
	I really don't think there's anybody else.
	I don't know of any others, but I have to assume that there's been someone with a brain.
	I know Andrew Orlowski at the register is adamantly against this whole thing, just like us.
	But the EFF is all in on it, and apparently Google came in at the last minute with some tweaks and some changes.
	Of course, Google has one of the biggest lobbying budgets in Washington at the moment.
	Now, I believe that this is going to—there will probably be a yes vote, and it will immediately go into court, and it's going to stick around all the way through the elections.
	The way this is set up, it almost cannot pass muster because of the EPA lawsuit, where you just cannot change— A law to make different regulations.
	This has already been to the Supreme Court.
	You cannot do that.
	And this was the EPA wanting to regulate greenhouse gases.
	So just by saying we're going to jigger Title II, jigger, which is probably not a politically correct word, is it?
	Jigger's used?
	I don't know.
	I'm worried about all these.
	Jigger.
	Jigger it around.
	It will go in.
	Nothing will come of it, but the conversation will go on and on and on and on.
	And here's an example of one of these groups, the Ford Foundation.
	Now, the Ford Foundation is huge, isn't it?
	It's very large and somewhat corrupt.
	Okay.
	And what do you base this corruptness on?
	The guys who run it?
	Darren Walker is the man who runs it.
	He's the big head boss.
	And their version of an advocacy group was net gain.
	And of course, they all have all kinds of reasons for...
	For wanting this type of legislation.
	Here he is speaking to the converted on this issue.
	And just last week, I think we all collectively in this room were thrilled when the chairman of the FCC announced, in his words, the strongest open internet protections ever proposed.
	And I love it how everyone's just...
	Why is this guy so effeminate?
	That's what he is.
	Clap!
	His proposal...
	Yeah, strong!
	Strong open internet!
	Strong!
	His proposal reflects the input of more than 4 million Americans who spoke up and spoke out in defense of a free and open internet.
	Free!
	Is it going to be free, John?
	Is it going to be a zero-cost basis?
	Or does he mean it's free as long as it's lawful content?
	Free and open as long as it's lawful network traffic.
	This is like what they did with the cable industry, because the idea was to get the prices down, and they passed all this legislation.
	The next thing you know, now it's $200 a month to have a cable.
	Your internet prices are going to go up.
	Oh, yeah.
	Oh, for sure.
	Up of this.
	Yes.
	Open internet.
	Open.
	Free.
	His decision, I believe, is a direct consequence of the tireless efforts of many of you in this room, the organizations you represent, to persuade and to challenge, to evangelize, and to inform the American people that we need to have the web we want and the web we need.
	Alright, so the web is not what this is all about.
	That's fine.
	I want people to think about that as the web.
	That's fine.
	Because the network itself, you really can't enforce everything that you want.
	The network is uncontrollable, but the messaging is, it's the web, it's Twitter, it's Facebook, it's Netflix.
	This is all that really counts.
	This is all that you need.
	And please do not ask for any...
	Boy, did we fail, John.
	EFF is another example.
	We were all for this great equalizer, this great internet.
	It was going to be fantastic.
	You know, I had some hope.
	I had some distant hope.
	Now, the CEO of...
	All you have to do is look at the suckers who are all in on this from the get-go and how adamant they wouldn't argue the points...
	With any logic, they were all, you know, glassy-eyed.
	It's fair.
	It's got to be fair.
	You know, spewing the same talking points that were fed to them from who knows who.
	You're probably right.
	There's a bunch of pressure.
	You know, this was an AstroTurf thing that worked out like a champ.
	There's high fives going on somewhere.
	Oh, yeah.
	Probably at Comcast.
	Yeah.
	The Tumblr CEO, David Karp, made a huge mistake by going on television.
	That was his mistake number one.
	This guy should not be allowed to speak about any policy.
	I don't know why he agreed or who thought it was a good idea for him to go on CNBC.
	When you're a CEO, and he's an important CEO because of the acquisition by Yahoo and the price that was paid, but if you just type in any expletive into a search engine and then space Tumblr, This is not going to be deemed legal content.
	No, they're doomed.
	Tumblr is, it's just porn.
	You can do that.
	Anything.
	Put any perversion you can think of.
	Okay.
	Space.
	Tumblr.
	And you will have site after Tumblr site showing graphic pictures of the perversion to the point where you'll get sick.
	Animated GIFs.
	More animated gifs, there'll be thousands of sites.
	Yes, this is a tip from No Agenda.
	For all your porn needs, type in Porn Need, space, Porn Need.
	Tumblr.
	So he goes on.
	And he is all in on the talking points, but he has no way to back it up.
	And this is a great fail from this guy.
	I just thought it was funny.
	It goes on forever.
	Yeah, David Karp, the CEO of Tumblr.
	I think the way that we see the most innovation is by sort of separating the layers of the stack.
	John, we need to separate the layers of the stack.
	Such a Silicon Valley douche.
	What does that mean?
	Well, he's going to explain it.
	The layers of the stack.
	The stack!
	Don't you understand the stack?
	I think the way that we see the most innovation is by sort of separating the layers of the stack.
	So making sure that there's a competitive market for carriers, where they're competing to deliver us the fastest, best internet that we can get access to with modern technology.
	And then on top of that, you have a free, open marketplace of services that can count on a neutral internet to build their products.
	The truth, though, is if you talk to someone like AT&T, Randall Stevenson, he will say, right now, they have more capital expenditures than any company in America.
	They have invested heavily to build their network, and that if you turn it into a utility, it will not be profitable to continue investing like that, and that as a result, things will slow down.
	It's just not true.
	It's just been disproven, and it's been disproven.
	Okay.
	Can you ask him, how has it been disproven?
	Yes.
	Good.
	Yes.
	She doesn't, but what's the guy's name?
	Joe Kernan?
	Just back it up.
	Yeah.
	Joe Kernan jumps in and says, hold on a second.
	What are you talking about?
	And that's where it gets funny.
	And that as a result, things will slow down.
	It's just not true.
	It's just been disproven.
	And it's been proven, too, by the tech end of it, too, that there's a tremendous amount of artificial throttling going on right now.
	Artificial throttling, tremendous, just everywhere.
	He asked him how has it been disproven and he just steamrolled by.
	But here comes Kernan.
	If we could move further in breaking down the near monopoly situation that we have right now, we would hopefully see even more competition.
	have a monopoly because it's really expensive to build the pipes and so you have not had multiple people who will build pipes to the door.
	I confess, not my area of But in general...
	Hold on.
	The industry has had kind of a light touch.
	The government had a light touch in terms of regulation.
	Would you say that that's been beneficial in the past, that there's been a light touch?
	In general, do you think heavy-handed government regulation is a good thing or a bad thing for an industry?
	Oh, he's using the bright line rule.
	This guy is prepped and good to go, but he's failing!
	...principles that we believe in.
	I think the Bill of Rights is a good thing.
	Even without getting into the weeds, spelling out something like the First Amendment that just says this is a truth that we believe in.
	Let Let me ask you a question.
	I don't see how that's an answer at all, comparing this to the Bill of...
	I understand the Bill of Rights, but...
	This bad behavior under the current laws isn't illegal unless we're treating the IFP as a Title II carrier.
	If Randall Stephenson has said, point blank, I'm not going to build out certain things that I was going to build out, I'm going to finish the stuff for DirecTV, but then I'm going to Mexico.
	How has that been disproven?
	How can you tell him he's been disproven that he's actually not going to do that?
	I mean, that's just the word you used.
	It's just been disproven that they won't build it out.
	The CEO of 18TA came on this network and said, just talk over him!
	I'm not going to invest in the same amount.
	I'm not going to build out that money I was before.
	There are a huge number of consumers who are already paying out the nose for access to the Internet.
	But how has it been disproven that he's not going to actually pull in on his build-out of more infrastructure?
	The consumers are demanding faster Internet.
	So he's...
	This guy should go on Twit.
	He's an expert.
	He is going to spend money building it out.
	He's just lying.
	They are.
	They have been.
	Well, he's saying now he's not going to add any additional incremental...
	Let me ask you...
	This is the kind of thinking that goes on in Silicon Valley.
	Oh, yeah.
	It's pathetic.
	I love the way he's throwing these short-term cliches and talking words, like a bright line and these sorts of things.
	That's in Obama's actual proposal, the word bright line.
	He picked it up from probably Schmidt.
	Yeah.
	But these kinds of, this guy, he's not saying anything.
	He's a pathetic, classic, by the way, he's probably a billionaire out there for people.
	I know he is, I think.
	Oh, I think he did very well on the Yahoo acquisition.
	Sure, sure.
	I don't even know why he's even involved with the discussion.
	Well, it's because these guys...
	Just go buy a palace in Italy and take some girls and move there.
	Everybody thinks they're Mark Cuban.
	That's what it is.
	Yes, the Mark Cubanism.
	Mark Cuban actually gets kind of...
	He's the only guy speaking some sense, although he's also a little...
	Yeah, Cuban's dead-setting, and he realizes what's going on.
	Cuban's one of the more savvy of the tech guys that ever made a lot of money.
	On vapor.
	Yeah, he was the best.
	He really was.
	He sold a URL. He sold broadcast.com for a billion dollars.
	Three.
	Was it three billion dollars?
	Yeah.
	And it was nothing.
	There was nothing there, right?
	It was just some videos.
	Yeah.
	He essentially sold a domain name for $3 billion to Yahoo again.
	Genius.
	You're right about this Tumblr thing.
	This thing is going away.
	There is no way the level of pornographic Well, your point in your pornographic material that's accessible by everybody, any little kid, is going to remain on the internet.
	They're going to have to shut this thing down.
	And there's not a blog on there that's not porn that's worth...
	If you're a smart blogger, you'd be using WordPress.com and having some power.
	This is just set up.
	This is designed for porn.
	Lots of pictures and animated GIFs.
	And this guy's a douchebag.
	Yeah.
	The point being that I'm pretty sure we'll get this vote.
	Everyone will be real happy.
	Of course, it'll be, oh, Republicans don't want net neutrality.
	It's so tiring.
	I'm so tired of this game.
	I'm getting so tired of it.
	It's tedious.
	It cannot pass legal muster what they want to do.
	It just cannot do it.
	So it's all about something that just is going to be another...
	Another talking point for the elections in 2016.
	It's just annoying.
	Waste of time.
	Wait, this is going to really get you.
	Broadcast.com was sold to Yahoo in April 1999 for $5.7 billion.
	Wow.
	What happens if you go there now?
	Broadcast.com.
	What's there?
	Let's see.
	It probably has under construction.
	Yeah.
	That would be cool.
	Let's see.
	What do we have?
	Broadcast.com.
	Then it goes to Yahoo.
	Wow.
	And it just takes you to Yahoo.
	It just takes you to Yahoo.
	Hey, money well spent, Yahoo.
	As a $5 billion forwarder.
	Good work.
	Redirect.
	Man.
	How about that?
	Did it write that off?
	How does that work?
	That's your legacy.
	That's the worst managed company in the history of Mark Cuban.
	Someday when they finally go under, people are going to look back at them and go, what were they thinking?
	Wow.
	Hey, Mark Cuban, there's your legacy.
	You're a redirect.
	301.
	They say we should redirect to the Dallas Mavericks.
	Man, that is something, huh?
	That is something.
	Yeah, I think it's still the classic.
	So we'll see what happens.
	But my money is on court case.
	It will not happen.
	It will not be implemented.
	And it will become just another big talking point.
	And the Republicans are evil.
	They don't want net neutrality.
	Yeah.
	Well, what also is going to happen, people are going to come to their senses because these schemes only stay afloat for so long.
	And then it's going to go like, here's what's going to happen.
	I could put this in the book.
	Okay, all right, let's do this.
	I like this.
	It's going to come out, and then there's going to be re-discussions about...
	Because it's 333 pages.
	People are going to start going through this, and then all of a sudden they go, oh, this is not good.
	This is not good.
	This is not good.
	And then the end result is going to be, well...
	Net neutrality is great, but this is not what we wanted.
	This is not net neutrality.
	This is not what we wanted.
	And then it's going to die.
	The whole thing is going to die.
	You're probably right.
	The court case should throw it out or keep it in court forever because they've actually incorporated mobile data.
	And the woman from the mobile data operation, who I think was an ex-FCC person, she said, you do that, you're going to be in court for the rest of your life.
	Of course.
	Of course.
	And they added that.
	We had that clip on this show.
	Was that what was added?
	That's probably what it was.
	Probably what Google added.
	It's just a farce.
	It's a farce.
	I'm just so sick and tired of it.
	There's nothing.
	There is nothing that is legitimate reporting anymore.
	There's almost nothing.
	Well, on that note...
	So I've got this, I link to this, I subscribe to a couple of operations at 7 Newsletters, and this is a list of the media and journalism awards that come out every couple of months.
	And there's a couple deadlines.
	There's a Society of Professional Journalists just for articles and stuff.
	And then we have the Ansel Payne Awards for Ethics in Journalism.
	And then there's another award for Ethics in Journalism.
	My comment was, how do you get an award?
	Is it so rare that there's ethics in journalism that there's only one guy who has an award for it?
	There's one guy per year who wins because he had some ethics.
	The award honors journalists who inspire public trust and demonstrate exceptional journalistic ethics behavior.
	So the guy who is a...
	I don't know, you either have ethics or you don't have ethics.
	Exceptional ethics is like, I don't know what that even means.
	It's just bullcrap.
	But to give an award out for journalism ethics, to me, tells you all you need to know about journalism.
	In today's world.
	In fact, it's probably been that way, more or less, before.
	But now with the internet, it makes it more obvious that we're being...
	Toyed with.
	And again, I think a lot of it does have to do with your advertising.
	Advertising causes the problems.
	Yes.
	You won't have ethical issues with shows that are like ours, because we don't have any...
	We were directly funded by the listener and the producer.
	So we don't have...
	We don't say, oh, well, we've got to make sure we don't say anything bad about Harry's razors, or we can't...
	Don't say anything bad about, you know...
	This crazy...
	All the right-wing talk shows plug one security system where they get your name and they follow it and make sure you don't have identity theft.
	I don't know what that is.
	I can't remember, but it's one of these companies.
	And it's bogus.
	This is not going to work.
	I mean, yeah, okay, they check a couple of things.
	Nah, nonsense.
	Yeah, well...
	But you never hear anybody say anything.
	Oh, no, no, no.
	Can't say anything bad about them.
	Can't say anything bad about Disney if you're NBC. Can't say anything bad about General Electric if you're CBS. Although it seems that the network wars are just on a tear of who's lied more about their reporting on military...
	Everybody is exaggerating.
	They were set off by those kids that got the measles in Disneyland, and this is just worse until somebody apologizes.
	It's, yeah.
	And it doesn't help that we have government officials running some of these networks or ex-government officials or people married to government officials.
	The only guests they ever have on to tell the public what's going on are government officials or ex-government officials or spies or sources.
	It's just sources.
	Which are spies and government officials.
	So I guess there is an award for ethics in journalism.
	Oh, let me see.
	Oh, this year's award will not be given.
	That's what I'm going to say.
	Expect that next.
	Okay.
	Um...
	So let's talk about Kleiner Perkins talking about ethics.
	Oh, okay.
	This is good.
	Kleiner Perkins, I know intimately, or knew them in a version intimately when they funded Podshow.
	And so I know the players here.
	Yeah.
	I know...
	Bill Doerr.
	Bill Doerr.
	John Doerr.
	He's now Bill.
	Bill Doerr.
	Bill Doerr and this woman who was suing them for sexual harassment.
	Did you run into her?
	Yeah, several times.
	What did you think of her?
	Well, I didn't think very highly of a lot of these so-called experts who I remember there was, what was her name?
	Trey, I'm going to think her name was.
	And do you remember the Skype guys had like some crazy video play?
	What was that thing called?
	Oh, right.
	It was a full screen.
	It had a video channel.
	What was that?
	Skype video.
	Yeah, Skype video.
	Now we have to stop the show and find out.
	What was that thing?
	What was that thing called?
	It's like Juiced or something.
	That's some crazy Swedish idea for a name.
	Was it Juiced?
	It was something with J-O-O-S-T or something like that.
	Oh, Juiced.
	J-O-O-S-T. You're right.
	Juiced.
	Ta-da!
	Yes, you nailed it.
	Good job.
	Yeah.
	So...
	You know, we sit in meetings like, oh, you guys really should look at Juice.
	They're on the cutting edge.
	This is where it's going.
	This is the future.
	Oh, I remember when they were talking to you guys about that.
	It's funny.
	Yeah, that's what you get.
	That is Silicon Valley in a nutshell.
	It's groupthink.
	And the other thing you get at Commander Perkins, the best example is they were all in, all in with that Segway.
	Oh!
	So they're rolling because it's going to change the world and the Segway is going to change the way cities are built.
	He's a genius and he's going to come around the office and say hi.
	Didn't the guy who created the Segway die falling off a cliff with a Segway?
	No, no, that was the CEO of the company that finally started manufacturing.
	Good enough.
	The CEO fell off a cliff.
	Good enough.
	Thriving one.
	Anyway, so they had in the offices of Kleiner Perkins, every cubicle, there was a hot babe.
	Every glassed-in office, a little glassed-in office, they've seen this kind of a standard venture capital setup.
	Every single partner had a Segway in the corner charging.
	Yeah, exactly.
	And then they all had the fantastic electric car, which they then got $500 million from the government for, which caught on fire all the time.
	The Fisker.
	The flaming Fisker.
	Good work!
	Yeah.
	So these guys haven't hit a home run forever.
	And the home runs that it looks like they hit, which a lot of people don't realize.
	Oh, we did so well.
	We're an investor.
	They get it.
	It's like Google.
	They had nothing to do with Google until it's gotten to the point where they're going to go public.
	Then these guys insist on getting a piece of it.
	They actually weren't in the Google deal, and then they had this midnight...
	I've heard the story, but they had a midnight deal and said, we need to be in this deal.
	We need Google.
	Somehow they got a billion dollars worth of stock overnight because they were excluded.
	Do you know the whole story?
	No, I don't know the whole story, but what you said is pretty much what happened.
	It was a prestige thing.
	You have a couple of these venture capital firms that they always brag about how they lead the way because the big money killers for Kleiner Perkins were mostly like Genentech.
	This was years ago.
	Genentech and some of these genetic engineering operations.
	And then they got the Netscape.
	Netscape was a big one.
	That was a big one.
	Then they became known as the geniuses of high tech, and they had to get in the Google thing because it looked bad.
	Yeah, the optics were no good.
	The optics sucked if they were not in the Google deal.
	And I think it was Ram Sriram from Sherpalo Ventures who brokered the deal, and I'm just coming back to me, and I think it was with the Sequoia guys.
	I think there was some fight, there was some rift between...
	Anyway, it's all bullshit.
	Although they get very rich.
	And the Kleiner Ferguson went all green.
	Oh, that's right.
	They had green tech.
	All green.
	And they lost a billion on that.
	They lost a lot of money.
	A lot.
	Hey, but in the juice thing, that was...
	You know, they got Randy Komazar as, like, their genius, boy genius there.
	Look him up.
	He was with...
	Actually, I know Randy.
	TiVo.
	He's the TiVo guy.
	And he wrote a book, like, The Monk and the Man.
	And every new company, every founder of the company would have to read Randy's book.
	Hey, I wrote this book.
	Let me find his book.
	And he would be questioning, you know.
	You had to read his book.
	Otherwise, you know, Randy Combs, The Monk and the Riddle.
	There you go.
	The Monk and the Riddle, everybody.
	I had to read that book.
	The art of creating a life while making a living.
	So this woman that Adam met.
	What's her name?
	I can't remember.
	Her name will be mentioned in the report at some point.
	She is suing them because she made a fuss.
	And in California, it's very rigid about what you can and cannot do in a big company.
	Ellen Powell.
	She was senior.
	She moved up the ladders, and she was a borderline partner.
	She was going to be made partner, and then they passed over her because she was always fussing around, complaining.
	She was complaining.
	She was left out of meetings, and they wouldn't invite her to parties.
	All this sort of thing.
	And then some guy tried to hit on her.
	I guess it was an Indian that was working there.
	Not the big shot Indian that quit, but this other guy who I guess was something of a douchey guy.
	And he said, hey, he's always feeling her up or doing stuff and trying to Yes, it's very intense.
	This is a hugely historic case.
	Kleiner Perkins is a really respected venture capital firm here, and Ellen Pau is a really respected entrepreneur now.
	She's the CEO of Reddit, one of the largest websites on the internet.
	And she is alleging that she was passed up for promotions and ultimately fired from Kleiner Perkins based on her gender and on her complaints about gender discrimination while she was there.
	And so the stakes are high.
	If she wins, it's a very big deal.
	Yeah, so Kleiner Perkins, it's time for a downfall.
	It's time for them to take the fall, and they're going to be branded as misogynistic a-holes.
	Which, quite honestly, they are.
	Yeah.
	I know, it's not like this is a lie.
	I'm just remembering something.
	So Kleiner Perkins always had smoking hot receptionists.
	They had some beautiful women in the front.
	Smoking hot receptionists.
	And I forget the young woman.
	Forget her name.
	We'd often be waiting.
	We have to go there every week.
	You always have to wait.
	Yeah, you have to meetings.
	Oh, it was a board meeting.
	Show how we're doing.
	Show the damn charts again.
	We're spending your money well, huh?
	And I would always hang out talking to her.
	And she was kind of cool.
	She was a snowboarder or whatever.
	But she was good looking, fun, interesting, good jokes.
	And I'd always be hanging out there anyway.
	And then, you know, Kleiner Perkins had these Christmas parties and stuff.
	And I got a call from Ray Lane one morning.
	I said, hey, Ray, what's going on?
	Well, there's a complaint for sexual harassment.
	Really?
	And it was this receptionist.
	And she had this whole list of people who had propositioned her.
	And it was clear that what became apparent is that she had a history of doing this at companies.
	And she had pretty much gone to Kleiner Perkins and had sought people out.
	And at one point, she had asked me, hey, you want to go get high?
	I'm like, no, I got a meeting here.
	No.
	No.
	But that came back in some complaint that I wanted to smoke illegal drugs with her.
	Ray Lane, senior partner, was reading this to me over the phone.
	I said, this is insane, Ray.
	What's going on with this?
	So they were targeted.
	I guess they had a detective.
	Before this complaint came in, this guy showed up and he was a co-receptionist.
	It was very strange.
	So they had brought him in as people were starting to suspect something.
	No one's going to notice that.
	And you were there to trap her.
	And she apparently had done this to other companies.
	Yeah, it's a business.
	Yeah, really.
	You figure out what companies, especially if you're a good looking woman, you can get jobs pretty easily in those positions.
	And I was offended.
	I would never ask someone to go smoking legal drugs with me.
	You let the girls ask you out.
	In fact, that sounds like what happened in that case.
	I never heard anything else after that.
	But it's a weird place.
	It's a weird place.
	Well, let's play part two.
	I think they're fighting back.
	I think some of the cases that we're seeing are so egregious.
	Like what I'm seeing in the courtroom are a lot of really egregious examples of whether it's gender-based discrimination or what, of gender issues within Kleiner Perkins are coming to light.
	Uh-huh.
	So, for example, there was today the revelation that there was an all-male ski trip in which one entrepreneur said, hey, let's try to bring some women on this, and a partner at Kleiner Perkins said, actually, no, on this trip, let's have it be no gals.
	And then...
	Yeah, girls suck.
	There's another...
	No, I think actually after your story, after your story, it's possible that they're getting a little gun-shy.
	Yeah, if you bring chicks around, before you know it, you get sued.
	Yeah, and you would.
	If you look at the guy, you never took the course, I did, on a sexual harassment course that was required of all media.
	Well, no, I started it, but I wanted to go click, click, click, and I said, you're going too fast, you're not reading the pages.
	I'm like, no.
	Well, whatever the case is.
	In fact, in California, you could be, like when you were talking to that shill woman that was the receptionist, She could sue Kleiner Perkins based on something you did, even though you weren't a Kleiner Perkins employee.
	It's happened in California numerous times.
	And it can happen after work, and it can happen at parties, and it can happen in all sorts of situations.
	And so it's possible that Kleiner Perkins got gun-shy and in the process made it worse for themselves because now they were excluding the females from things that they have to invite them to.
	My general feeling, I will just say this is my general impression at Kleiner Perkins, is that they liked having hot women around, and I feel that the women who were there as limited partners or junior partners were token.
	It always felt that way to me.
	In the meetings, they'd do their thing.
	Yeah, it was a men's club.
	Eventually, if you had a...
	At one point, we got Trey...
	What was her last name?
	She was the juiced girl.
	And I knew it was over.
	You know, they'd given up on us.
	And I'd seen how they would treat her opinion in meetings.
	And I personally, I don't want to defame anybody, but I always had that feeling that, yeah, it was a men's club.
	For sure, for sure, for sure.
	This trip, let's have it be no gals.
	Yeah, they go shooting turkeys and stuff.
	Yeah, no gals.
	There's another story in which one partner sort of lured a Kleiner Perkins, a female Kleiner Perkins partner, to New York on the auspices of meeting with an important Internet executive, and he turned out not to be there, and it was just a date between the two of them.
	And then that night he tried to push his way into her hotel room, and she had to push him out.
	And then when she went to her Kleiner Perkins superiors to say that she'd like this man not to be on her review board, they actually denied that request, and he was her reviewer.
	And so later he was fired, to be fair.
	But I think we're seeing some really bombshell, like, events coming out of here, and so I think the ripple effect will be huge.
	But, Nellie Bowles, we're also seeing the company, I mean, the company's putting up a strong defense, right?
	Yes.
	Oh, yeah.
	They came out swinging.
	It's not, there's little room to compromise.
	to put it lightly.
	They are saying that Ellen Powell was hired basically as a secretary to do scheduling and calendaring, and then that she was never up to the job of being a venture capitalist and just didn't have the skill set, didn't have the interpersonal skills, just wasn't capable of it, with very strong language. just wasn't capable of it, with very strong language.
	So there's little compromise here.
	Yeah.
	Nicole Sanchez, back to the industry more broadly.
	Okay.
	Yeah.
	It should be entertaining.
	I I should go down and watch the...
	Well, they're going to have some pieces which will be secret because they say it discusses how they do their business, which is poor.
	We really don't want to know.
	Well, first we make people wait 45 minutes in the lobby.
	And I think that any client at Perkins Company should be boycotted by women.
	Let's start with Google.
	Yeah, you're right.
	That will not happen.
	You're right.
	People aren't going to boycott Google because of this case.
	No.
	And most people don't know what a Kleiner Perkins company is.
	Hmm.
	All right.
	No, it's just going to be a local phenomenon.
	While we're on Pedo Bear, there is some fabulous news being pretty much ignored.
	By mainstream media.
	And this is about the creep known as Pachauri.
	I got the clip.
	You have the backgrounder?
	Well, no.
	This is the best I can do, which is Pachauri ousts for sexual harassment.
	You can give us the background, but this is a short clip just introducing you.
	We'll listen to the clip.
	Top climate scientist Rajendra Pachauri has stepped down as head of the UN's Nobel Prize-winning Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change amidst an investigation in India over sexual harassment.
	A female researcher at Pachauri's group, the Energy and Resources Institute, accused him of sending her harassing email and text messages.
	Pachauri's attorneys say his accounts and phone were hacked.
	But it's much worse than that.
	This is a bullcrap report from Democracy Now!
	Yo, they love that guy!
	They're obfuscating that he would...
	The main complaint is that he would pick people up like a toddler, women, like under their armpits?
	Yeah?
	That's creepy, man!
	He would pick him up and call him little nicknames and, you know, it's just, oh man.
	Do you ever see that guy?
	Take a look at his picture.
	Oh, he's a creep.
	He's a creep of the highest order.
	I always ask people, or you see people with these crazy looking mustaches and beards or the long hair or whatever, a ponytail.
	But this guy is so creepy looking.
	Greasy creepy.
	He looks in the mirror.
	I'm always wondering this.
	This is kind of a point of interest to me.
	When you make love!
	Love, do you look in the mirror?
	Does he look in the mirror and say to himself, you're a good-looking guy?
	Particularly the beard with a white patch in it.
	The white thing and it's scraggly and greasy.
	So he has had to step down in the middle of some pretty big negotiations.
	You know, he also wrote a sex novel.
	Which people say kind of sounds a bit like the main character is him.
	Oh, really?
	I didn't know this.
	You got me on that.
	Yeah, let me see if I can find a passage from his book.
	It's very, very, very creepy.
	Hold on a second.
	I have it here somewhere.
	Pachauri Novel Passage.
	This guy.
	The racy novel.
	Here we go.
	Written by the top dude.
	Let's see if there's your climate change guy.
	Okay, page 16.
	Sanjay is ready for his first liaison with May in a hotel room and 90 tall.
	No, I read it like you were reading a book on tape.
	She then led him into the bedroom.
	She removed her gown, slipped off her nightie, and slid under the quilt on his bed.
	Sanjay put his arms around her and kissed her, first with quick caresses, and then the kisses becoming longer and more passionate.
	May slipped his clothes off one by one, removing her lips from his for no more than a second or two.
	Are you hot yet?
	He removed his clothes and began to feel Sanjin's body, caressing her voluptuous breasts.
	The excitement got the better of him, before he could even get started.
	He enjoyed the sensation of gently pushing Susan's shoulders back a few inches, an action that served to lift her breasts even higher.
	Climate change is real!
	Show me your boobies!
	Lift them higher!
	This is a creep!
	I don't mind sexy books or anything, but come on, the guy's a creep.
	Creep.
	So he's out.
	Good.
	And this should, of course, if this is how he treats people, then why can't you trust him with anything?
	And as you know, there's been all kinds of issues with the reports that have...
	Oh, yeah.
	Corrupt.
	The guy's corrupt.
	Corrupt.
	He's corrupt.
	He looks corrupt.
	He is corrupt.
	And this is interesting.
	I'm reading a blog that is called Dog Ate My Data.
	And he says...
	Raji Pachari was apparently too busy to check into Glaciergate problems in December.
	We now know why, and he goes on about this book.
	But what was Glaciergate?
	They had put something in about glaciers melting by a certain date, and it was taken from a press release.
	It wasn't even based on scientific data.
	Oh, okay.
	One of those little things that is just overlooked and not really discussed.
	Why bother?
	Why bother?
	All I can say, Rajiv Pachari.
	Amen.
	Fist bump.
	Good for you, man.
	See ya.
	Bye, Felicia.
	Wouldn't want to be ya.
	6-9-D9, dudes!
	I'm going to show my support by donating to no agenda.
	Imagine all the people who could do that.
	Oh, yeah, that'd be fab.
	I think I should read one of his books as an audio book.
	I could do that.
	You could.
	Salacious.
	You get a little...
	Moist?
	Yeah, well, you go a little into a lower baritone where it's not quite as clear.
	Oh.
	I think if you read in your normal voice, a slightly phony version of your normal voice instead of this kind of thing, I think you would have...
	Oh, really?
	You just want me to say, he then pushed her shoulders back to lift up her breasts even more.
	Like that?
	He then pushed her shoulders back!
	Alright, let's thank some people here.
	Let's thank some folks.
	Mathieu Helly in Got to Know, Quebec.
	Mathieu.

	He wants a woo!
	What does he want?
	Woo!
	I don't know.
	What is that?
	Oh, it's from you.
	It's just the nature boy.
	Oh, good.
	I like the woo.
	People get the joke, too.
	Donald Borowski in Spokane Valley, Washington.
	1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
	He actually sent a check in and sent a note, which I enjoy reading because it's on the United Federation of Planets station.
	Ah, this is our favorite, yes.
	And now he's using a typewriter.
	He says, thanks for letting you give me the opportunity to download a fresh dose of reality twice a week.
	I return the favor with my contribution.
	By the way, for this note, I'm using the Smith Corona Skyrider, a writer for which I learned to type 50 years ago.
	Nice.
	And it's W-A-6-O-M-I. He's a ham.
	Very good.
	Uh, right.

	Okay, we'll add that at the end.
	He's a baron.
	Baronet.
	He's a baronet.
	Baronet.
	Oh, yeah.
	Okay.
	Put it at the end.
	You're going to get it.
	This is going to be for you.
	Benjamin Ritgers in Ames, Iowa.
	Love the show.
	Like the Jabra's karma.
	He looks for a Don't Eat Me Hillary at the end of the show.
	He is the winner of this week's, and he gives a special call out, of this week's Easter egg hunt.
	The Easter egg hunt.
	Ah, yes, this was in the newsletter.
	Yes, there was an Easter egg hunt in the newsletter, and he wins.
	You can't win now, but there will be a new Easter egg planted in the 700 club.
	Do you want to explain what the Easter egg was?
	No, I am not going to go any deeper than that.
	He found it.
	He wins.
	It was the fat man karma.
	Batman karma.
	Very good.
	Amen.
	Fist bump.
	Good job.

	Josiah Hershey in Hayden, Idaho.
	Sir Coggs in Denver, Colorado.
	He wrote something in I have to read.
	Hiya.
	Okay, here we go.
	Hey guys, just figured out PayPal, for whatever reason, just cut off my 12-12 monthly donation in November.
	Yeah, and what they do is they say that we did it.
	Or they just do it.
	I'm donating $58.58 to bring me back to par.
	This is this donation here.
	Thank you.
	Plus updating my monthly donation to $15.15 in honor of the year of our Lord.
	Next year I'll set the donation to $16.16 and so on.
	I suggest this be a good default monthly donation amount the year in dollars and cents.
	Thanks for your hard work.
	It's always appreciated.
	And he says he's going to send some home-brewed absinthe.
	Yes.
	Oh, good.
	We're going to go blind.
	Hello.
	This is the show.
	I can't see nothing.
	I'm blinded.
	Now, is he the guy who made the 180 proof that he sent us with the No Agenda label on it?
	Beautiful.
	I have not heard back, because that was a beautiful blue label.
	No, I thought it was.
	I think this might be the guy.
	Oh, it was so nice.
	That fire water he made.
	Oh, that was really outstanding.
	But the packaging.
	Yeah, it was beautiful.
	I mean, it's like he had a label, and the label was top-notch.
	Yeah, I look forward to the absinthe.
	Ian Garling.
	Ian.
	Ian Garling in Port Angeles, Washington, right down the street from me.
	Ah, he has a birthday shout-out for Dame Elise.
	Yes, he does.
	Our hot salmon fisher.
	The salmon girl.
	And limoncello girl.
	Oh, is the salmon girl the limoncello girl?
	Yes, sir.
	Well, that lemon shell is outstanding.
	Shell Diaz, I never had the salmon.
	$56.78, Hacienda Heights, California.
	Josh McDonald, $55, parts unknown.
	Philip Merkert, Merkert, Merkert in Deutschland, $50.
	These are all $50 donors from here out there.
	There's not that many.
	Shad Rich in Abenigo, parts unknown, $50.
	Sandy Geisler in Watkinsville, Georgia.
	Macy Stolowski in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
	Always in there, Macy is.
	Always in.

	Stephen Hutto in Denver, Colorado.
	That closes the $50 donation segment.
	We're very short today.
	I think a lot of up to $70.
	And I want to remind people we do have the 700 show, number 700 show.
	On...
	700.
	700.
	That's a big deal.
	That's a big deal.
	A big deal.
	It's a big deal.
	How many people do 700 of anything?
	Just of anything.
	Yeah.
	So this is a big deal.
	I could not be more delighted.
	I'm so happy.
	I count my lucky stars that we can continue to do this program because of people who support us.
	700 shows.
	It's your show?
	It's your show.
	Yeah, you've done 700.
	Now, a lot of people have bailed out over the years, what I find unfortunate, but I was thinking about this.
	You brought up in the last show that I get most of my clips from TV, and I have a gear rigged up so I can record clips, and I have a DVR hooked up so I can back them up and get them just right.
	And then you get most of your stuff from the internets, which makes me, because I was reading a bunch of stuff about subliminal advertising today, Not today, but yesterday.
	And makes me more susceptible to getting suckered into some kind of train of thought than you.
	You have less susceptibility because the TV people are always doing this.
	They're trying to...
	Oh, they're trying to trick you into stuff.
	Absolutely.
	I try to stay away from it.
	It doesn't happen a lot, but I have, every once in a while, bought into some bullcrap and wanted to talk about it at some level that the TVs were already talking about it.
	And you called me out.
	You've done that to me more than I've done it to you because I... And it's a good thing that we work separately.
	I am susceptible, like anybody else, to this kind of bull crap because I have to filter it with all the mechanisms I have.
	But other people who aren't just working on a show like this all the time, they get swept away.
	They do.
	They go man overboard.
	It's like an undertow.
	We lost our dentist, Birch.
	I don't think he listens to the show anymore.
	I think we've lost Adam Bergpile, who...
	Made the original bat signal, which has been broken for months.
	He's been swept out to sea.
	Washed overboard.
	Hang on, people!
	Man overboard!
	Man overboard!
	Swept out to sea.
	A sea of mainstream media dreck.
	Oh, sad.
	Next thing you know, they're, you know, rooting for Madonna to make a comeback.
	There you go.
	Thank you very much.
	We really appreciate it.
	Also appreciate everybody who came in under $50 with your subscriptions or also for reasons of anonymity.
	It is highly appreciated.
	Thank you very much, and support us, please, for our big 700 show on Sunday.
	It's your birthday, birthday.
	I'm so much younger.
	Here we go.
	Colin Prowl turns 23 today.
	John Keckish, 50 today.
	Big 5-0, congratulations.
	And Ian Garling says happy birthday to his sister, Dame Elyse Garling, celebrating as well.
	Happy birthday from all your friends here at the Best Podcast in the Universe.
	One-nighting today.
	Macho.
	What did he have in his note?
	Was there anything just Sir Haley is what he wants to be?
	Sir Matt.
	Oh, Sir Matt.
	Interesting.
	Okay.
	Doesn't say that on my info sheet.
	Sir Matt.
	All right.
	Well, let's bring him on.
	And he'll...
	Hello?
	Yeah?
	There you go.

	Where does it say Sir Matt?
	There it is.
	Yeah, it says Sir Matt is simple enough.
	Okay.
	Just back to...
	Just because I picked this up, I just wanted to play this.
	This is from a podcast, the Guardian Pod.
	They have a science podcast.
	Science.
	The science is in!
	Yes, science!
	Science!
	Science!
	Just to reiterate something we talk about all the time on this program, particularly when people are bitching about how the Koch brothers are always funding people who are staunch climate deniers.
	Except us, for some reason.
	We don't see any Koch brothers money.
	Where's our Koch brother's money?
	Yeah, where's my Koch brother's money?
	I just thought this was nice to pick this up from a U.S. scientist.
	Does that bring up fresh tensions, though?
	I mean, I think a lot of scientists who get grants will think they can just get on with their research sort of without any kind of outside interference.
	But if you're taking money from, say, a group of billionaires or what have you, then I'm wondering if they want to have more involvement in the work than a typical scientist might enjoy.
	Every funding source comes with its own strictures.
	For instance, right now in the United States, if you want to apply for federal monies, you ought to be applying for polar research or climate change research.
	That's where the money is, largely.
	Yeah, exactly.
	That's where it is.
	Yeah, if you're a denier, you're not going to get any money.
	That's where it is.
	You know, I was reading up a little and diving into some more of this.
	I liked your assertion that Putin has failed miserably and he is not the grand chess master.
	I think one thing has changed.
	They had the continuing Minsk agreement, and I read a report that Putin and Merkel, who speak each other's language, that they had a private meeting without any translators.
	No one was allowed in the room.
	You don't need translators.
	Yes, you don't need them, but there was just no one in the room.
	It was just the two of them.
	Yeah, they apparently talk on the phone all the time, although then there's somebody in the room.
	Right.
	Well, maybe.
	But the results...
	Merkel then went to D.C. and met with the president, I guess, to deliver the message.
	And I think the message is, back off on Ukraine.
	Apparently they only have two days' worth of gas right now.
	If they don't pay another bill, then Russia turns it off, and that is gas that also needs to be shuttled through to Europe.
	I think if anything, he may have a minor win on his hands with, ultimately, with Ukraine.
	Germany stopping, not sending weapons to Lithuania and other countries.
	I don't know.
	It feels...
	I think you're right.
	It's a minor win.
	Yeah, minor.
	Okay.
	Then we're in agreement.
	We're in agreement.
	I mean, he's not a stone-cold loser that can't do anything right, and he falls down when he tries to walk.
	These little things happen, because he's got a lot of advantages, and I don't see him exploiting him as much as he can, but I think this is a good one.
	It's crazy not to.
	They don't pay their bill.
	Just a merchant selling something, and this guy won't pay.
	When Kerry was up on the hill, it was Royce, I think?
	Is that Senator Royce?
	Ed Royce?
	Is he a senator?
	I think he is.
	No, I think he's a congressman.
	He asked a question which really made me laugh.
	I'm like, wow, okay, it's such a good question, and Kerry has such a dumb...
	I mean, there's no other way to answer it.
	Do you agree with me that when Russia says there are no Russian weapons or troops in the Ukraine, they're lying?
	Yes.
	Why?
	Why do they lie?
	You're asking me?
	Yeah.
	Yeah, why would he lie about that?
	You're asking me.
	You're asking me.
	And his tongue was flipping out like a lizard through all three hours.
	There's a lizard.
	He is a lying lizard.
	Whenever he's lying, whenever he's bullcrap, and this is what we know from CIA, when people stick their tongue out, to pretty much signal to you, I'm lying.
	To tell.
	I'm lying.
	Mr.
	Chairman, Russia has engaged in a rather remarkable period of the most overt and extensive propaganda exercise that I've seen.
	Really?
	Really?
	Yeah, yeah.
	It's very successful.
	It's very successful.
	Very successful propaganda.
	Here's Victoria Nuland on how successful it is.
	All you have to do is look at RT's tiny, tiny audience in the United States to understand what happens when you broadcast untruths in a media space that is full of dynamic, truthful opinion.
	Pfft.
	They get their messaging straight.
	Sure, Vicky.
	Yeah.
	What is it?
	Is it big, small?
	Is it nothing?
	Is it just a fantastic campaign?
	Back to Watermelon Head.
	Since the very height of the Cold War.
	Since the very height of the Cold War, this propaganda campaign is just all out awesome.
	They...
	Have been persisting in their misrepresentations, lies, whatever you want to call them.
	Advertising.
	About their activities there to my face, to the face of others.
	Oh no!
	Oh no, you didn't!
	You did not lie to my face.
	My face?
	My face, because he's the face of America.
	Oh, I thought he meant the website, my face.
	Ha!
	Have been persisting in their misrepresentations, lies, whatever you want to call them, about their activities there, to my face, to the face of others, on many different occasions.
	So we can all collectively say that the Russian leadership lie when it comes to their behavior in the Ukraine.
	Do you agree with me that...
	Stop saying the Ukraine, idiot.
	The Russian dismemberment.
	Do you agree with me?
	Do you agree with me?
	Why does somebody have to agree with this?
	This guy is the biggest...
	People in South Carolina, which we have very few listeners, should be ashamed of themselves to have this guy represent them.
	And by the way, John McCain recently said he feels that he's his illegitimate son.
	Oh, do you have a clip of that?
	No, I've been trying to get it, but it's going around.
	Now, here's something that was interesting.
	We always are suspicious of scripts.
	But how they are played out, and Charlie Rose can really be no different.
	He has his own scripts, he has his own ego thing, but he's clearly part of the elite.
	And he had Twerp Rice on, Susan Rice, the Twerp.
	He's a member of the elite's stooges.
	Yes.
	He himself.
	Does he counsel on foreign relations?
	He must be.
	I don't think so.
	No, come on.
	He must be.
	Well, he might be, but let's see.
	I think it's a conflict of interest for a journalist to be in the CFR. Oh, Erin Burnett.
	Erin Burnett is a CFR member.
	Is that a conflict for her?
	I think it is.
	Well, let's take a look.
	How can that be a conflict?
	It's a conflict of interest.
	No, it's not.
	It's where they get their marching orders.
	Experts.
	Well, I'll say this, though.
	Charlie Rose questioned attending the Bilderberg meeting.
	So he went to Bilderberg 2008 and 2010.
	I'm just looking at the experts right now, who they have.
	Because again, that's just a drinking club.
	I don't take that to his pages.
	Anyway, so he has the twerp on, and they're talking about NATO and Russia and Putin.
	Bill Myers, or Moyers, was the director of the CFR from 67 to 70.
	Oh, that takes the cake.
	All right, go on.
	Sorry.
	And he does something.
	And I don't know if he makes...
	I think he just made a mistake.
	And he jumped ahead to another part in the conversation.
	He screwed it up.
	Because there's a difference between the eastern flank of NATO, which would be Poland.
	What else is there?
	The Balkans.
	This is the eastern flank of NATO. Not the eastern flank of Ukraine.
	Which is where we have, of course, pro-Russian funded little green men, whatever.
	Okay, fine.
	And she gets so thrown off by it, she calls him out and says, what the fuck are you doing?
	Pretty much.
	Listen.
	Charlie, with respect to our NATO allies, is we, the United States, and our other NATO partners, have beefed up our presence in the eastern flank of NATO. And we are now there in larger numbers, air, land, and sea.
	It was humiliating to see those troops have to leave, was it not?
	Which troops?
	When they moved.
	You're making a different point.
	I'm trying to...
	What are you trying to do?
	Go ahead.
	No.
	This is so...
	They're laughing because you're like, what are you trying to do?
	You went off script.
	Off script, moron.
	What are you trying to do?
	I'm not talking about the Ukraine troops that are withdrawing.
	I'm talking about NATO. What are you trying to do?
	What are you trying to do?
	Go ahead.
	No.
	I'm trying to keep you on track.
	I'm on track.
	You're trying to get me off track.
	No, go stand.
	No, I was just simply saying that we are taking...
	You're like a street chick, black street chick, when she actually talks casually.
	I disagree.
	I don't think she sounds like that.
	She's getting a little low.
	She's not her normal style.
	If you listen to her normally, she has a very rigid cadence.
	She's very serious, and she always ends with a kind of a...
	Well, I think she's so embarrassed about this gaffe that Charlie makes.
	She has nothing to do but laugh really like hyena nervously.
	Like, hey, what are you trying to do?
	Tell me about this sexuality.
	It's in your DNA. I'm trying to keep you on track.
	I'm on track.
	You're trying to keep me off track.
	She does have a little bit of it.
	I'm on track.
	You're trying to keep me off track.
	What you doing?
	What you doing, man?
	You're trying to keep me off track.
	Let's talk about the spy memo.
	Amen.
	Fist bump.
	Spy memo.
	The spy memo that Al Jazeera uncovered.
	You know, I don't think I'm up to speed on the spy memo.
	You need to educate me.
	Well, let's start with the spy memo long form, and maybe that's got it in there.
	The talks from Israeli counterparts.
	Speaking last week, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said Israel has spread false information.
	No, no, no, that's not it.
	Hold on.
	I guess I thought you would have something, but I... No.
	I'm looking for an intro.
	Okay, so this is...
	I'll just intro it myself.
	South African CIA leaked a whole bunch of...
	or somehow it got leaked from...
	South African CIA and it's a whole bunch of stuff about Israel and all this other stuff.
	And the whole thing seems to me to be about...
	Let's play this clip as a setup.
	Netanyahu versus Congress versus Obama.
	Okay.
	Setup.
	A war of words escalated today between the White House and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
	It involved his planned address to Congress next week.
	On the nuclear talks with Iran.
	Republicans invited him without consulting the White House.
	Some Democrats have now said they'll skip the speech.
	Last night, National Security Advisor Susan Rice offered the sharpest criticism yet to PBS's Charlie Rose.
	What has happened over the last several weeks, by virtue of the invitation that was issued by the Speaker and the acceptance of it by Prime Minister Netanyahu on two weeks in advance of his election, is that on both sides there has now been injected a degree of partisanship, which is not only unfortunate, I think it's destructive of the fabric of the relationship.
	Netanyahu, who's in the middle of an election campaign, fired back today during a visit to a Jewish settlement near Jerusalem.
	There are many reasons to worry about the agreement that is forming now.
	The world's powers have committed to prevent Iran from getting nuclear weapons, but it appears that they have given up on that commitment and are accepting that Iran, within a few years, will develop capabilities to produce material for many nuclear weapons.
	They might accept this, but I am not willing to accept this.
	The Obama administration has said, despite early reports, no deal is in place.
	Okay.
	Now, this is two weeks before his election.
	He's coming over to try to clear the deal with Iran by bitching and moaning.
	So, coincidentally, two weeks before his election, and by the way, nobody points the election coincidence with these spy memos that show up, supposedly the biggest leak since Ed Snowden, of all these memos, many of them from Mossad, Telling everyone that Netanyahu's full of shit.
	So let's play the short version of the Netanyahu spy memo clip, and maybe that'll be an intro that we can use.
	A new report has raised questions about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's effort to thwart a nuclear deal with Iran.
	According to Al Jazeera, Israel's spy agency, the Mossad, contradicted Netanyahu's own dire warnings made before the UN General Assembly about Iran's ability to produce a nuclear bomb within a year.
	The news comes as U.S. officials have reported progress in nuclear talks with Iran and as Netanyahu is due to address Congress next month.
	Now, I believe that Mossad's behind this leak because it's got some little snipes against the CIA. It's oriented toward getting the Israeli public to vote this guy out and get rid of him once and for all.
	Who is the contender?
	Is there a contender?
	I don't know.
	That's a good question.
	Spy Mamo Slam against Netanyahu is a clip I'd play next.
	Well, there was much discussion that came after Netanyahu's 2012 UN speech that he was at loggerheads with his Mossad chief, Mayor Dagan.
	That was discussed and, in fact, Mayor Dagan even publicly said that a war with Iran would be a bad idea.
	But what is just, I think, was breathtaking for the journalists who work on this is to see Mossad's classified documents, a top-secret assessment, no less, that is now available for the entire world to peruse and read at its own leisure.
	I mean, clearly, Netanyahu came and spoke before the entire world, presenting information that was In direct contradiction to the country's premier intelligence service, it begs a strong question, where did he get his information from?
	Was he taking talking points from the Washington Institute and AEI, or was he listening to his own intelligence services, who the government of Israel pays to look after this sort of material?
	So it makes it a question similar to what Americans experienced in the run-up to the Iraq War.
	Is this based on intelligence, or is this based on political fiction?
	So it has become a big deal.
	Al Jazeera has the exclusive on it, and the only people playing this story, which is probably why you didn't pick it up, is Al Jazeera and The Guardian.
	Mm-hmm.
	Guardian's always in on these things.
	And so they're going through these.
	Apparently it's a cash.
	It's a Bradley Manning-sized theft of some sort.
	The guy kind of explains.
	I think that if you play spy memo long form, we'll hear a little explanation as to how, you know, where this may have come from.
	They keep calling the guy who you just heard is the reporter for Al Jazeera who broke this thing.
	And he keeps referring to it as a digital leak.
	I feel very bad.
	This completely passed me by.
	And this is the kind of thing I thrive for.
	I want to see these memos.
	I want to read them.
	Yeah, I'm actually surprised you didn't have it.
	Well, I was looking at the new EU Energy Union.
	It's a different issue.
	Well, anyway, so play this long form and you get some interesting data points in here.
	The talks from Israeli counterparts.
	Speaking last week, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said Israel has spread false information about the proposed nuclear deal.
	There's no question that some of the things that the Israelis have said in characterizing our negotiating position have not been accurate.
	There's no question about that.
	With the White House accusing Israel of spreading falsehoods, the new revelations about Israel's own intelligence assessments mark the second time in one week tying Prime Minister Netanyahu to dishonest claims about Iran.
	Why don't we call this propaganda like we do when it comes from Russia?
	Instead of, you know, just call it propaganda.
	They don't do that?
	No.
	The leak cable appears to have come from inside South Africa's intelligence service, revealing its exchanges with counterparts around the world, including the U.S., Israel, Russia, Britain, France, and several Arab and African nations.
	Ah, South Africa.
	This is where we have a lot of the self-loathing Jews live in South Africa, the people who fund, like, Scahill's movies and stuff.
	Good point.
	Yeah, this is where a lot of them are.
	What's the name of that big group?
	The...
	Yeah, we gotta put signs up on our walls.
	It's true, it's true, it's true.
	We keep running into these organizations and then we run into them again.
	The Bertha Foundation.
	Bertha Foundation, that's what it is.
	Other revelations so far include CIA attempts to establish contact with Hamas despite a U.S. ban and a threat by President Obama to force the Palestinian Authority to abandon its bid for U.N. recognition.
	More disclosures are expected in the coming days.
	For more, we go directly to Doha, Qatar.
	To be joined by Clayton Swisher, director of investigative journalism at Al Jazeera, which broke the Iran story and several others in a series of articles called The Spy Cables.
	He co-wrote the piece, Leaked Cables Show Netanyahu's Iran Bomb Claim Contradicted by Mossad, that appears in The Guardian newspaper.
	Welcome to Democracy Now!
	It's good to have you with us, Clayton Swisher.
	Explain what has happened.
	What did South Africa get a hold of?
	Is there a South African at Snowden?
	Well, I think after the Edward Snowden experience, someone would have to have their head checked to publicly...
	Fests up to being the source of such a leak, given all the travails that followed Edward Snowden after he essentially outed himself.
	This was a digital leak made to Al Jazeera, and one of the reasons people bring information out to Zira in the past, as they did with the Palestine papers and other projects, is because they know we'll take every step we can to protect and shield their identity.
	So the way that we got these files, this digital leak, is not up for discussion.
	But it is, I will...
	Gladly described for you, an unprecedented window into how espionage is conducted, not just in South Africa, but the broader continent.
	What we have obtained is perhaps best thought of.
	If you look at a discarded bag of rubbish, you won't know what's inside it until you open it up.
	Similarly in this, it's not rubbish.
	It's actually very useful information, but it's an absolute assortment.
	Of things that are seemingly unrelated, but nonetheless highly newsworthy.
	I was looking at the Bertha Foundation.
	A couple of films, documentaries they have funded.
	Dirty Wars.
	Citizen Coke.
	The House I Live In.
	Never heard of it.
	I might have heard of it.
	Pussy Riot.
	Yeah.
	And a whole bunch of other ones I haven't heard of.
	Yeah, well, there's a Russian angle to this, of course.
	And it's possible, we don't know, it's not up for discussion, apparently, where this stuff came from.
	And there's a number of snipes at the CIA, there's a number of snipes at the Mossad, and then there's a lot of snipes.
	It's all named Netanyahu.
	Which is a good guy they want to get rid of, so the Russians could be behind this whole thing, because there's no snipes against the FSB that I know of, but this is just opening now, so we've only seen one or two articles, and it's going to be competing with the Snowden stuff.
	But the thing that was kind of a giveaway here, that was like a bullshit thing they added, and Qatar being the source of this...
	Of this memo?
	You know, you shake your head because it's like, it's like this thing's about, you know, let's get rid of Netanyahu any way we can, and then, well, let's give the Jews one of these kind of punch to the guts with this bull crap.
	Play the water-sucking plant.
	Hold on a second.
	What is it called?
	It's the spy memo.
	The water-sucking plant.
	Here it is.
	It also says Israel is working assiduously to fuel insurrection inside Sudan.
	Israel has even targeted Egypt, the first Arab country to give it recognition, readying itself to sabotage the country's water supply.
	Israel has created a type of plant that absorbs such large quantities of water as to significantly reduce the volume of water that reaches Egypt.
	In this way, Israel sabotages its enemies and friends alike, furthering its own interests in Africa.
	Clayton Swisher, Al Jazeera.
	Wow.
	So they've invented a plant.
	Enemies and friends alike.
	That's those evil Israelis.
	Wow.
	They've invented a plant that sucks up all the water?
	Yeah.
	I like this.
	Yeah, I'm sure they've got this plant.
	This is good.
	It sucks up all the water.
	Nice.
	Please.
	And meanwhile, they show pictures of the Nile.
	The Nile, you know, this is like the Mississippi.
	It's huge.
	Wow.
	Anyway, so they have to give these guys a needle.
	That's good.
	But this is a developing story that I think will may dislodge Netanyahu, hopefully, because the guy's a crazy man.
	Huh.
	Anyway, so yeah, you better catch up on that because it's going to be hot stuff.
	Did you know about the other big break that's happening, the thing falling apart?
	Apparently, our buddy, what's his name, Reese Witherspoon?
	Who's the mayor of Chicago?
	Reese Witherspoon.
	What's his name?
	Yeah, Rahm Witherspoon.
	Oh, yeah, Rahm Emanuel.
	For some reason, Reese Witherspoon.
	Reese Emanuel.
	Chicago Mayor Clip, this is news to me.
	The race for mayor of Chicago will go to a runoff in April.
	Incumbent Rahm Emanuel fell short of winning a second term outright on Tuesday.
	He got 45% of the vote to 34% for Cook County Commissioner Jesus Chuy Garcia.
	As the results came in, they urged their supporters...
	Chuy!
	They wrote us off.
	They said we didn't have a chance.
	They said we didn't have any money.
	No!
	While they spent millions attacking us.
	Well, we're still standing.
	This is the first step in a real important journey for our city.
	To those who voted for me in this election, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart.
	You're welcome too.
	For those who voted for someone else, I hope to earn your confidence and your support in the weeks to come.
	Garcia has appealed to teachers, unions, and neighborhoods unhappy with Emmanuel, a former White House chief of staff for President Obama.
	The runoff takes place April 7th.
	Yeah, I've seen a couple of different...
	The president, of course, was in Chicago recently trying to help him out, although he was there for other reasons, but I think people are sick and tired of this guy.
	Yeah, it's what it looks like in Chewy, this Mexican character.
	You know, in Chicago...
	Chewy.
	Chewy is the midget Mexican on the Chelsea Handler show.
	Oh, I don't know that.
	Oh, I do know that.
	Yes, this little guy comes out.
	Mexican porn stuff.
	Mexican porn midget.
	Yeah.
	Chewy.
	Amen.
	Fist bump.
	So...
	Chicago, when I was a kid, I spent some time in Chicago.
	I did not know this.
	Third and fourth grade.
	I did not know this.
	This is news.
	And when I was a kid, Chicago had three ethnic groups that were all very...
	Polish?
	Polish.
	The Polish pretty much founded Chicago.
	Blacks and Jews.
	That was it.
	A few years ago, and I've kind of commented on this a number of times, everyone always throws back, ah, that's bullcrap!
	A few years ago, I went to Chicago and drove around.
	I always have my places that I go.
	And...
	I noticed that the town was probably 50% Mexicans, the whole town.
	I mean, once you're outside of the downtown area.
	In other words, you go past, you know, Western Avenue and it's Mexicans, especially as you go north.
	And there were some taco places and all kinds of Mexicans.
	It actually looked more like Los Angeles Mexican town than it does around here.
	And I was always surprised by that, how the Mexicans had just gone to Chicago and took over the place.
	Now it's coming home to roost with guys like Chewy.
	I think this guy can win.
	I vote for Chewy.
	I vote for Chewy.
	Hell yeah!
	Yeah.
	Mayor Chewy.
	It just sounds better.
	The guy looks like a character.
	Chewy, I like it.
	Is that his last name, Chewy?
	No, it's Garcia.
	Oh, Chewy Garcia.
	Can't get much better than that.
	Chewy Garcia.
	Can't get much more Mexican than that.
	Chewy Garcia, everybody!
	I like it.
	I have a couple things before we move on.
	Things that need to be mentioned.
	Another departure from the $250 million WordPress organization known as Piero Mediars.
	Drive my car, don't rob Grand Remo.
	Ken Silverstein leaving First Look Media.
	Yeah, makes a big stink.
	Makes a big stink about it.
	Dishonest management.
	Gee, you think?
	At the same time, Ronan, the Sinatra kid, fired.
	Finally!
	But it looks like Chris Hayes will also be moved out.
	Well, he's, I think, is probably one of the best guys on there.
	I mean, he's got...
	No ratings.
	There's no ratings, man.
	No ratings.
	They should get a bit of bad out.
	That's the problem.
	No ratings.
	No ratings.
	Euro land.
	Okay, the couple things that are important, as I said, and this is very important for our European EU listeners.
	You are being duped.
	I know, surprise.
	But the EU, the European Commission, has now finally put forward something they tried three years ago.
	We have the banking union, so all the banks are now under control.
	Now they want the energy union.
	And this is very, very bad, particularly for countries like the Netherlands, who are passed through countries, who make their money on buying energy from Russia and then reselling it, storing it, reselling it.
	And this is truly a very...
	I can't believe that there's no outrage over this, but they want to combine 28 energy markets...
	That means any country that buys energy, which is pretty much all of the EU, so they have centralized buying.
	This is not a good idea.
	No.
	It's a horrible idea, and people just pay too much everywhere instead of...
	Exactly.
	Yeah.
	France has been given a stay two more years.
	They do not have to adhere to the 3% debt, 3% of GDP for the next two years while they figure it out.
	They'll never figure it out.
	But they got a free pass on that.
	And, of course, Greece.
	It was actually kind of funny.
	And I'm not sure how factual this is because anything can happen in these types of fails, but...
	The actual document, which was the Greek reset with the IMF and how they were going to handle the payback of loans and bonds, etc., Someone got a hold of it and, you know, something we've been doing for a long time on...
	It's one of those things.
	You always look up who owns the domain name and these little things you got to do.
	And they looked at the Word document.
	I think it was a Word document.
	Was it PDF or Word document?
	A PDF. And it says right there, author...
	Declan Costello, who is from the EU, he's a member of the Muckety Mucks there in Brussels.
	What?
	Yes, and his name is author on the PDF that is supposed to come from, there's supposed to be Greece's own proposal.
	Very funny.
	The Germans are, they're angry.
	They do not want any money going to the Greek, Greece, going to the Greeks.
	No, they see the Greeks as con men.
	I have a...
	Actually, I have a copy.
	I put it in the show notes of Bilt.
	And it says, there's a huge...
	Nein!
	Keine weiteren Milliarden für die gierigen Griechen.
	For the greedy Greek.
	The greedy Greeks.
	No more money for the greedy Greeks, said the Germans.
	And lots of people in Germany are just outraged that they're getting away with it again.
	It's what they do.
	This is a big shock.
	There was a little exchange with Janet Yellen, who is our new Ben Bernanke, the Bernanke.
	She runs the Federal Reserve Board.
	I wanted to get some clips.
	Apparently, Elizabeth Warren went after her yet again.
	I'm not interested in Warren.
	By the way, this is a prediction for the Red Book.
	I don't know if you...
	Elizabeth Warren or Hillary, either one of them, are going to kick Yellen out and get rid of this policy of printing money, which is essentially buying our own bonds as a form of printing money, and it's going to collapse the economy.
	Whoever you watch, the economy will collapse after the next election of a Democrat woman.
	Well, if a woman is elected, the economy collapses.
	When a woman is elected, the economy collapses.
	Because we all know women can't balance a checkbook.
	Ha!
	Hey, there it is.
	That's a joke in the comedy corners.
	That's a joke.
	Now, this was a great exchange, something we always talk about, the U6 numbers versus the unemployment numbers.
	So the idea that we have 5.7% unemployment in the United States is, of course, a joke because the people who have been voted off the island, who are no longer looking for work or who only have some part-time gig, That number is closer to 12% unemployment.
	And someone actually asked Yellen this question, and her answer, I thought, was surprising.
	And it fits right into, she's got to get kicked out.
	She cannot be talking like this.
	Do you agree that the unemployment number that you cited, 5.7%, in your opening statement, paints a rosy or a better picture of the true unemployment rate that I just cited?
	So, Senator, the U6 is a broader measure of unemployment.
	It includes marginally attached and discouraged workers and also an unusually large number of individuals who are working part-time who would like full-time jobs.
	So it is a much broader indicator of underemployment or unemployment in the U.S. economy.
	And while it's come down, it was 12.1 percent a year ago.
	It's come down from there to 11.3.
	Definitely shows a less rosy picture than U3 or the 5.7% number.
	And I did mention that we don't at this point, in spite of the fact the unemployment rate has come down, don't feel that we have achieved so-called maximum employment in part for these very reasons.
	Labor force participation has come down, has been trending down.
	That's something that will continue for demographic reasons.
	I don't expect it to move up over time, but I do think a portion of the depressed labor force participation does reflect cyclical weakness in that in a stronger job market more people would enter.
	But you basically concede that 11.3% of underemployed people, that's not good in this country, is it?
	That's abnormally high level and it signifies weakness that would be good to address.
	Well, there you go.
	Finally, finally, someone's honest.
	This will not stand.
	You gotta go.
	Can't be honest.
	Can't be sitting there being honest, lady.
	That's no good.
	Nobody picked it up as a news story.
	Because she's boring.
	Really.
	She is boring.
	But she does say major.
	That's what you want.
	Yeah, I like she says major, which is the official NOAA gender.
	She says major.
	She says major, yeah, major.
	Measure.
	Measurement, yes, right.
	Measurement.
	All right.
	Hey, John, big 700 coming up.
	700.
	Big 700.
	Very excited about the Big 700 on Sunday.
	We hope you will consider becoming an executive producer, a producer in general.
	And we will have...
	I'm going to dive into this spy memo stuff.
	I've got two days to do this.
	I'm very interested.
	I want to read them all.
	Very interested.
	It's going to be like the snow and stuff.
	They're going to leak the leaks.
	You mean more like the Chelsea Manning stuff?
	Well, yeah, that too, but Glenn Greenwald's, you know, slow, you know, death by water torture.
	Here's another one.
	Here's another one.
	A week later, there's another one.
	And by the way, Snowden's girlfriend was on stage at the Oscars.
	Did you know that?
	She was there accepting the award?
	Oh, with the...
	With Greenwald and Poitras, yeah.
	And the rest?
	Yeah, where is this woman?
	Interview her!
	This is nuts.
	We should be interviewing this lady.
	The original girlfriend?
	Lindsay, yeah.
	The dancer?
	The stripper, yeah.
	The pole dancer.
	The stripper?
	Yeah, that one, yeah.
	She was on stage?
	Yes, Lindsay Mills was on stage in a kind of a frou-frou dress.
	And she was there when Poitras accepted the award.
	Interesting.
	Mm-hmm.
	By the way, you lost the bet on that.
	Yeah, I did.
	There was no Snowden appearance.
	But I think having his girlfriend appear was...
	But that wasn't the best.
	That was not the best.
	You're right.
	All right.
	Onward.
