Time Text
It's a sales job.
It's disgusting what these people do.
Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak.
It's Sunday, June 14th, 2015.
Time once again for your Gitmo Nation media assassination episode 730.
This is no agenda.
Shaking the rain stick with results and broadcasting live from FEMA Region 6 in the capital of the drone star state from the Crackpot Condo in the morning, everybody.
I'm Adam Curry.
And from northern Silicon Valley where the hippos are on the loose, I'm John C. Dvorak.
It's Crackpot and Buzzkill in the morning.
I love that picture.
There's a bunch of them.
Hippos running around in Georgia.
Yeah.
Georgia, Georgia, the country.
Yeah, Tbilisi.
All right.
It's a good picture.
Well, that's one of many.
I mean, there's one with one of them running down the street, and there's another one standing there bleating.
Wait a minute.
Do hippos bleat?
Well, they make a noise, and they say he's yelling something.
And I will say that I know hippos are extremely dangerous animals.
Oh, yeah.
Apparently the most dangerous animal in Africa.
Yep.
Yep.
They look so cute, though.
I know.
Hungry, hungry hippos.
Hungry, hungry hippos.
Remember that game?
Hungry Hippos?
I've heard of it.
Did you guys have that at home in the Dvorak household?
No, I don't think so.
Maybe.
I don't know.
Daddy doesn't play games.
I used to play games.
I played a number of games.
I was keeping up with the Mario Brothers stuff for a long time.
Mario Brothers?
Pre-video games, John.
Hungry Hippos.
Rock'em Sock.
What was it?
Knock'em Sock'em Robots, was it?
Remember that?
Oh, we had that.
Rock'em Sock'em Robots.
I love that game.
Air Football.
Air Football.
Did you have one of those?
The Air Football Table?
Actually, the better one was the Magnetic Shaking Football.
Yeah!
He put a little cotton ball and...
They just move around randomly.
It's a real strategy in that game.
Oh yeah.
Alright, let's start off.
Oh, sorry.
I picked up a lot of neuro-linguistic stuff on today's show.
Oh, okay.
I'm turning around.
Every time I turn around, I listen to the clip over and it's like they're making...
I found one as well.
That's interesting you said that.
Oh, that's interesting.
They're talking nonsense.
Now, let's explain NLP or neuro-linguistic programming.
Briefly.
I don't know if there's a good definition for it.
It's a form of suggestion where you can say things to someone and structure it in such a way that it confuses the brain and then makes them open for suggestion.
That's my understanding.
I call it mind control.
Well, there's an element of mind control involved, yes.
And you can do that also with mirroring a person's behaviors or their stance or their body language, and then you can get them real comfortable with you.
That's actually a technique taught by Tony Robbins.
That's correct.
I've listened to all his tapes.
Power talk.
He could rename his...
His methodology to how to be a phony.
The exact same stuff.
Oh, come on!
How to be a phony.
It's how to be a phony.
If you guys talk fast, you talk fast.
MKUltra for beginners.
You're a phony.
You're not being yourself.
That's the Tony Robbins method.
It's to not be yourself.
Yeah, but he...
Okay.
What?
You can defend Tony Robbins.
I know two people that know him personally and hang out with him and they say he's a really nice guy and I'm sure he is.
He's got a big head.
He's a giant.
He's huge.
Whatever it's called.
Giantitis or whatever.
The ladies love it.
I don't know about that.
Do you have any clips for your NLP? Here's one.
Charlie Rose was apparently short-circuited and he was...
He was saying crazy stuff.
He couldn't read the prompter.
And he would do these stories.
This was, I think, on Friday.
That made no sense whatsoever.
And let's see if I can find it here.
Tell me about the sexuality.
It's in your DNA. That's how he does it.
That's how he picks up chicks.
Charlie Rose makes no sense is the clip.
Okay.
And the Straits of Times of Singapore looks at a study showing the emotional sophistication of dogs.
Japanese researchers say dogs refuse food from people who are mean to their owners.
They say that shows dogs do not act in self-interest and they can cooperate socially after a few species share that characteristic, including humans and some primates.
I saw this report and I didn't understand it either, quite honestly.
This is some NLP going on here.
For one thing, he says the Straits of Times.
Isn't that nice?
What's the Straits of Times?
The Straits Times is a newspaper, but there is no Straits of Times.
And then he says dog, singular, as if he's referring to a specific animal.
And then he says that dogs won't take food from people who are mean to their owners.
That doesn't sound right.
That doesn't sound like that's right.
Play it again, and listen carefully.
This is structured poorly, and it makes no sense whatsoever.
And the Straits of Times of Singapore looks at a study showing the emotional sophistication of dogs.
Japanese researchers say dogs refuse food from people who are mean to their owners.
They say that shows dogs do not act in self-interest, and they can cooperate socially after a few species share that characteristic, including humans and some primates.
This is bullcrap.
You're right, it is the Straits Times.
And in Singapore, the dogs are looking at everybody going, are you going to eat me?
Well, there's that.
That was not mentioned in the report.
Seems to me like that's exactly what the dogs are thinking.
Don't eat me, Hillary Clinton!
It's almost too delicious to believe, my friend.
Why?
It was as good a setup as any.
Yeah.
You had a question on shows 729er, which was answered with two possibilities.
Your question was a sound that you heard on a clip segment at a TSA interview about the TSA. And could you really not place that?
Or you knew the answer and you just wanted to see if...
I didn't know the answer.
I was befuddled.
Like a long, long, long...
He told it to me.
He said, oh yeah, God, that's what it is.
Of course.
Well, there were really two...
There was never really two.
It was a report on the TSA, so how would it be anything but the one answer?
Well, I'll tell you.
Let me find the original clip.
Hold on a second.
Your original clip was...
Let's see.
Airport Security 2, I think it was.
Hold on.
That sound at the beginning right there.
That sound.
It's the rollers.
It's interesting because, you know, I always listen to the show after it's been posted.
I usually, after we hang up, we do our post-mortem, our gossip girl section, and then I listen to the show to listen to the sound, to listen to, pretty much to listen to what you were saying, the stuff that I might have missed.
And the minute I heard this, I, you know, I thought, oh, I know exactly where that comes from.
You've got karma.
Yeah, I know you're going to play that clip because somebody sent that clip to you, but here's what is orcsome to me.
I was going to do the same gag.
Somebody else had produced nearly the same exact clip and sent it to me only.
You know, people are trying to...
The guy sent it to you and me.
So I saw that come in and said, oh, this guy has ruined the gag for me.
And as you were doing this, you could note my point of irritation, because I saw this coming down Broadway, what you were going to do.
Somebody else suggested it.
I received three different versions of this mix.
I did.
How does everyone...
What is...
So here's one.
The beginning of the episode.
Here's the other clip I got.
Clip two.
There's a sound effect.
Okay.
Which is very familiar with me.
I've heard it a million times.
I can't place it.
The report.
That thing?
That ding, ding, ding, ding?
Yeah.
I'm listening again.
You've got karma.
So I believe you're right.
It's the rollers.
But when you said, I've heard it a thousand times, that's because it is almost to the T, our karma jingle.
It's not quite.
But it's the rollers.
It's the rollers, yes.
And it starts...
How many people have mailed you this week?
Rolling in clips.
We also got this two-hour clip show.
Oh, yeah, we did.
Called N.A. Funnies, and it is only...
I listened to this while I was trying to go to sleep.
I couldn't.
I was laughing so hard, my stomach was hurting.
Well, it starts off...
I thought it started off kind of lame, and it was, oh, okay, sure.
And it was just a bunch...
Well, who was the guy who sent that in?
Oh...
Well, anyway, he sends this thing in.
It's a two-hour show.
He's clipped together a two-hour show.
But what he's done, and he must have taken a year or more to do this.
I can't believe he did it in a weekend or even in a month.
He went through a bunch of shows, probably starting about maybe 100 shows ago, and Took all the funny gags where we're goofing around.
Sir Cyber sent that to us.
Sir Cyber.
So Adam's laughing his ass off and falling off the chair.
But usually, here's what I noticed about this show.
You're funny!
Well, this is a known fact.
You have some really sophisticated humor.
There's some pretty funny things, and the interesting thing to me about my humor in that two hours is I don't remember half of those one-liners.
Oh, me neither.
I mean, there's a, wow!
In fact, there was a number of things in there that I wanted to pull out.
I mentioned one in an email.
I'm stammering today, but it was...
What's his name?
The preacher...
Oh, the Aztec thing.
Yeah.
I couldn't find the clip.
Something we forgot all about.
I couldn't find that clip anywhere.
The Aztec.
I thought it was one of your clips for sure.
We have to put an Aztec next to his name kind of thing.
Um...
Yeah, I was cracking up myself after about, it took me about a half an hour to get into it.
And so what we're going to do, Adam and I, we're going to put a front end and a back end on it and keep it as an evergreen for that day where we can't do a show or we're traveling and we don't have time to produce or something like that.
Zoro and can enjoy the humor of the No Agenda show.
I think...
I don't know if it's a good introduction to the show because it makes us...
It's not.
No, it's not.
It makes us sound like we're a morning zoo.
Yeah, it's a totally morning zoo.
Hey, everybody!
Hey!
You've been butt-slammed!
It's a totally morning zoo clip show that's two hours long, and it's really not our show.
It is just the humor within probably 100 shows.
It is well worth publishing sometime for people's enjoyment.
That will go on the air eventually, probably within the next year.
Well, I have stuff equally as funny, although not intended to be funny.
Well, that's government news.
Well, I will give you the name Neil deGrasse Tyson.
Oh, your buddy.
Oh, yeah.
He's not a climate scientist, right?
No.
He's an astronomer.
Isn't he just a manager?
He's a manager of the planetarium.
So he's an astrophysicist.
I believe he's an astrophysicist.
Yeah, it could be.
He goes on Larry King.
Larry King's on some strange...
This is a streaming thing?
Larry King is on Iceberg Slim.
Aura?
Slim Pickens.
What's the guy?
Carlos Slim.
No, Iceberg Slim.
Iceberg Slim.
Is it Aura TV or something?
It's...
It's four or one of them.
It's an online television network that Carlos Slim, who's one of the richest men in the world, decided to put together with some heavy hitters, Larry King, and that's about it.
I don't know what the point of it was, but he's doing it, and Larry gets a salary, and then he gets to do Russia Today, and they probably pay him too.
I should have clipped the...
It has a whole bunch of YouTube videos.
I wish I'd clipped it.
Maybe I'll find it for Thursday.
At the end of each of these clips, you go...
Because I guess this is some kind of hip internet thing to him.
He's like, Hey guys!
Hey gang!
Remember to watch all my videos!
Like it's Freddy the...
Hey!
Hey gang!
Watch all my videos!
Really, he doesn't know what he's doing.
He sees a studio, he sees a guest, he has his microphone.
He's done.
He's gone his way.
Good to go.
Yeah, that's all he does.
Neil deGrasse Tyson shows up, and I think this trifecta of clips will finally show us that he's really clueless.
And you're talking about DeGrasse Tyson.
Yeah, DeGrasse Tyson, yes.
Larry King is a great interviewer, and he's great because he's totally clueless.
He doesn't know anything, but he knows how to ask questions.
I should relate this because I've been on his show a few times, not his TV show, but he's doing radio.
And he has his...
As a guest?
As a guest or as a pundit?
Yes, about four times.
Then I did Bohannon once.
But King will not meet you.
Before the show.
Well, that's...
I agree with that.
Read your book.
I agree with that.
Great.
And he doesn't want to talk or anything.
They gave me a briefing on him on his theory.
And then he told me himself that this is the way he thinks it should be done.
Because what he feels as a radio interviewer or a TV interviewer...
Tell me.
Tell me.
Tell me, John.
Why is the mouse not going to work?
He's...
What?
Never mind.
He believes...
This is his theory.
I know what the real thinking is.
This is the greatest idea in the world because you don't have to do any prep.
Yeah.
At all.
They just call it a format.
He called it for me.
He believes that he represents the dumb viewer listener out there.
You say, you come to the show and you're a famous person.
The person that's listening to The Red, they don't know you.
They haven't read your book.
They haven't done anything.
They have no idea.
And so he's representing that person.
As opposed to someone who's on page 16 of your book, you say blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, and it becomes inside baseball almost immediately, and it gets very boring to people who don't know what you're talking about.
So he believes that he can just ask random questions, and he does.
And his questioning is, he'll go, if you listen to his interview style, he'll get somebody on a train of thought, and then he'll switch the subject radically.
Shall we listen to the king in all his splendor?
Yes, please.
This is Neil deGrasse Tyson, and this is about a topic that he is absolutely no expert in, climate change.
And specifically man-made climate change, but always be aware when the only term used is climate change, you know, I don't think you or I have any disagreement that climate is changing continuously.
Right.
Oops, oops, oops, oops, oops.
So here is the first clip.
What is that?
You okay?
Smoking your dube?
No, I'm trying to catch my breath.
Those who deny climate change.
Okay, that would be you and I. We don't deny climate change.
What do you say to them?
In a free country, which at least we believe, we tell ourselves we live in a free country.
I don't...
What?
What is that commentary?
We tell ourselves we live in a free country.
Is he saying we're in a fascist state?
I was a bit puzzled by that as well.
I think maybe underneath all the Neil deGrasse Tyson layers...
The truth is trying to get out.
He's trying to say, you're being bullcrap.
Maybe that's why he said that.
Those who deny climate change, what do you say to them?
In a free country, which at least we believe, we tell ourselves we live in a free country, I don't care what you believe.
You believe whatever you want.
The problem comes about is if you are in denial of an emergent scientific truth and you wield power over legislation.
That's a recipe for disaster.
Oh, no!
He likes using this term, recipe for disaster.
We'll hear it in clip two as well.
The person on the street doesn't care about climate change or doesn't, you know, maybe we'll have a conversation, but I'm not going to lose sleep over that.
It's when someone, an elected official, stands in denial of climate change, something that scientists have been telling them now for decades, and they're going to create legislation in response to that That is the end of an informed democracy.
The end.
I love when they say, I don't know anything about it, but...
But it's not true.
He's talking about Republicans, obviously.
Oh, yeah.
And then Larry asked the question again.
I climate change.
What do you say to them?
Yes, the pieces are back up.
You stepped on my punchline, douche.
Oh.
Let's pretend that didn't happen.
If you throw this at me, it's obviously something to respond to.
And by the way, talking about stepping on punchlines, I listened to this couple hours of that thing last night.
Yeah, I step on punchlines all the time.
Yes.
Those who deny climate change, what do you say to them?
Yes, the beaches are back open!
Woohoo!
Yeah!
See, this is my old gag on me.
I was going to help the dude use a Dvorak gag.
Fail.
Now we have a couple more memes brought in by Mr.
NDGT. And a couple that we like, and in this clip he will also bring back the recipe for disaster.
Why isn't it raining in California?
Because the song says so, Larry.
We all know it never rains in California.
Girl, don't they tell you?
Yeah, you know, the climate is...
What?
The climate is...
I mean, it's not as though droughts have no precedent in the history of the world.
Thank you.
But what's more important than that it's not raining is there's a consumption of clean water, potable water from the water table.
That's not being replenished, and it's being pulled out at a faster rate than it's returning.
And that's a recipe for disaster.
How many recipes of disaster are we going to use?
And so we need to think more, sort of, dare I use the word holistically, about systems.
Dare I use the word?
Hold on a second.
So here's another example of his self-consciousness.
Dare I use the word?
Yes, yes.
Really, you know, I could go and say, I could throw holistically into a sentence without stopping myself and then pausing to mention I'm going to say the word like he just did.
I don't think it's a horrible word.
I think we should dare to say holistically.
I'm going to start using it all the time now.
Yeah.
So, we need to think more, sort of, dare I use the word, holistically, about systems that manifest on this earth.
And that's a relatively new way to think about the world.
What?
What?
Thinking about systems holistically is a relatively new way to think about the world.
Tell us about Copernicus.
Whoa!
Nice one, Mr.
Dvorak.
When did Copernicus live?
I don't know.
500 years ago.
But what do we do about it?
Stumped, huh?
Was that him breathing or was that you?
No, that was him breathing, then I breathed, and Larry King went, you stumped, huh?
You stumped.
What do we do about it?
We do about it.
What do we do about it?
See, that's him.
Stumped, huh?
Yeah, I don't have easy answers.
I think we need to be better shepherds of our activities and our behaviors.
This is interesting.
This is scripture right here.
Now he's quoting scripture.
We need to be shepherds of the earth.
If you're watering your lawn, do you need clean potable water to water your lawn?
You need a lawn.
Ladies and gentlemen, Dvorak is in a great, great humoristic mood.
Can you just water your lawn with any kind of water?
You can pee on the lawn if you want.
Yeah, but you get brown spots.
Yeah, gray water.
I mean, we're not set up for gray water use.
When you take a shower, for example, and you're just rinsing yourself, and that water could easily be pushed and thrown into the garden and used there.
What about the...
Unless you're crapping in the shower, which most people don't do.
Well, a lot of people pee in the shower.
I don't think the pee...
Pee's kind of a fertilizer.
I don't think it's...
If diluted with shower water, it'd probably be good.
Okay.
No.
You could use the water that came out of your dishwasher.
Really?
Nah, it's got harsh detergents in it.
I don't think that's a good idea at all.
I think the rinse water, yes.
Hmm.
Yeah, but...
Okay, that's not what he's saying.
All right.
Your grass is not going to care.
But we've set up a system...
Oh, it is dead.
Hey!
Damn it.
That does not intelligently use even the limited water that's available.
Big good question.
Why isn't it raining?
Why isn't it raining?
All I can tell you is that in the world, what we're going to find is more extremes of weather.
Okay, this is great.
Because he ran down a few things and I looked him up.
When it rains, it's going to rain heavier.
When it's not going to rain, it's going to rain less than it ever didn't rain before.
This is NLP, John.
That's nonsense.
When it's going to rain, it's going to rain heavier.
When it's not going to rain, it's going to rain less than it ever rained before.
Sunshine on a cloudy day.
That's kind of the new normal.
The new normal!
The recipe for disaster.
That's where he's just, I dare say, holistically.
We're going to have to grow accustomed to it.
And all evidence points to the fact that it is human-caused influence.
I love this.
All evidence points to that it is human-caused influence.
What did he say?
Influence.
On the ecosystem.
On the climactic system.
Cold weather will get colder.
Warm weather will get warmer.
Wet weather will get wetter.
Yeah, yeah.
So the extremes you'll start...
Yeah, that's it.
Larry King is my hero.
That was really good.
I like that.
Warm weather will get warmer.
Cold weather will get colder, wet weather get wetter, and wetter, drier weather get drier.
I think we should just hear that one more time, just to make sure we understood what the king is saying.
Climactic system.
So cold weather will get colder, warm weather will get warmer, wet weather will get wetter.
Yeah, yeah, so the extremes, you'll start visiting the extremes.
And what happens is, as the temperature rises, More moisture from the ocean gets lifted into the atmosphere.
And generally when we think of weather, we think of storms and things.
And so now that when you have a storm, there's more moisture to feed that storm.
There's more heating to drive the convective cells.
And so the storm gets...
More ferocious.
And, you know, we had flooding down here in New York.
By the way, this change that people are talking about, it's not...
Is this yesterday?
Yeah.
One day, the ocean will just sort of come in and stay there on your doorstep.
No, that's not how it happens first.
It happens first where there would be a storm, where there'd be a tide surge.
And previously, the tide surge never really, you know, maybe came over the sidewalk or the boardwalk, but that's about it.
It went away.
Now the tide surge makes it into the streets.
And that's your first indication.
These extremes are your first encounter with what will soon become the new normal.
The new normal.
I looked up some New York storms.
Before you say that, I just want to ask, because you saw this, I didn't.
Did Larry King ask, and what about Katrina when it came in and was the worst hurricane ever, and then you people predicted this was going to get worse and worse and worse every year since and since then?
In fact, it didn't get worse.
In fact, nothing's happened.
A little bit more curious than that.
So he's referring to Superstorm Sandy.
Not a hurricane.
Superstorm Sandy in 2012.
October 28th.
And I'll give you some of these stats.
There was a huge evacuation, of course.
We saw...
Okay.
What?
Nothing.
Every time I mumble to myself or breathe, you call me on it.
No, not calling.
I thought maybe you had a comment.
I had a comment a minute ago, and I made it.
Go.
Just go.
Pay no attention to me.
That's not going to be hard.
Small patch of throgs, battery parks, stretches of west side waterfront, these were all evacuated.
The city opened 76 shelters to the public.
Sandy brought winds of up to 85 miles an hour.
Total rainfall of about one inch across the city, as well as a peak storm surge of 9.41 feet.
And we saw transformers blow out, etc.
This is the new normal.
This is the extremes.
We're visiting the extremes.
Allow me to revisit some extremes.
1821, September 3rd, we had a hurricane.
It was one of the only hurricanes believed to have passed directly over parts of modern New York City.
The tide rose 13 feet in one hour, inundated wharves causing the East River to converge onto the Hudson River across lower Manhattan as far north as Canal Street.
I don't think that happened during Sandy.
Wow, that's what I would call a flood.
1938, the most powerful hurricane known to have made land fall nearby, Category 3.
Its eye crossed over Long Island and into New England, killing nearly 200 people.
The storm killed 10 people in New York City, caused millions of dollars in damage.
Its floods knocked out electrical power lines in all areas above 59th Street in Manhattan and in all of the Bronx.
The new IND subway line lost power.
100 large trees in Central Park were destroyed.
Don't think Sandy did that.
1954, Hurricane Carroll made landfall in eastern Long Island, southeastern Connecticut, with sustained winds up to 100 miles an hour.
15 faster than Sandy.
Gusts of 100 to 125 miles an hour.
The most destructive hurricane to hit the northeast coast since the Long Island Express in 1938.
Connie and Diane.
Leftover rain from Hurricanes Connie and Diane caused significant flooding in the city in August of 55.
Even though the eye of those storms did not cross directly over any of the five boroughs, Connie dropped more than 12 inches, that's more than 9.41 from Sandy, of rain at LaGuardia Airport.
Donai, 1960, an 11-foot storm tied in New York Harbor.
Agnes, in 72.
U.S. flooding areas for North Carolina and New York State causing 122 deaths of more than $6 billion in damage adjusted for inflation.
Recent hurricanes.
Felix didn't hit, but it drifted out to sea eventually.
Bertha also brought heavy rain to the city.
Edward Floyd in 99.
Tropical storm Floyd sustained 60 mile an hour winds, dumped several inches of rain on upstate New York over a 24 hour period.
Flash flooding were the most powerful to affect New York City in a decade.
Forced hundreds of people to leave homes in counties outside the five boroughs.
Irene, in 2011, the city sheltered 10,000 evacuees, winds are 65 miles.
Now, you get the idea.
It's horseshit.
So what you're telling us, I didn't know you were going to do this, but what you're telling us is that the global warming phenomenon began in 1938.
Now, this is where King shines at his best.
When he's going to bring up Elon Musk.
And what's interesting about Neil deGrasse Tyson's response to this is, in a way, his disdain for the entrepreneur that is Elon Musk.
And I'm no fan of Elon Musk, generally speaking, for reasons we've discussed many, many times.
He seems like a douche.
That's also part of it.
South African douche.
But Larry King is so misinformed that his question is just completely idiotic.
And then just listen how Neil deGrasse Tyson responds.
What do you make of Mr.
Musk and the others who are going to send their own planes up?
Rockets, yeah.
They're going to send their own planes up.
Yeah, rockets, Larry, whatever.
But do you hear that?
Elon!
Like he's hanging out with him.
Oh, Elon!
Yeah, my buddy.
That's right.
Elon!
Elon, you rock Elon!
I think it's disdain.
I think it's jealousy.
I hear in his voice, that cocksucker who's making all that money with bull crap, and here I am, the director of a planetarium, sitting here trying to lie.
What do you make of Mr.
Musk and the others who are going to send their own planes up?
It's rockets, yeah.
I'm skeptical.
On a couple of levels.
By the way, we need people thinking that way.
Oh.
He wants to send a mission to Mars.
We need those people in society.
You know why we need those people, John?
We need these people who are dreaming big.
You know why?
Otherwise, the rest of us think that every other day should be like the previous one.
Yeah.
We need people like Elon Musk.
Otherwise, we just remain zombies.
We're stupid.
Because only smart people like Elon can think out of the box.
It's a watershed moment for Elon.
Ping me later.
It's rockets, yeah.
I'm skeptical.
On a couple of levels.
By the way, we need people thinking that way.
He wants to send a mission to Mars.
We need those people in society.
Otherwise, the rest of us think that every other day should be like the previous one.
I wake up every day.
What he does here is he uses the, I guess, like a parry, I don't know how to describe it, where you are going to give the guy grief, but you preface it with something positive.
So the listener will be relaxed enough to take in the message that follows.
You're evaluating this as an NLP strategy.
Well, I don't think he's strategized.
I think this is just his natural way of doing things.
I think most people do it this way.
I take a bit of offense.
Without Elon Musk, I wake up every day and go, oh, I hope it's the same as yesterday.
No, I think you're just taking offense for some other reason.
I don't think most people would take offense by that comment.
Okay.
All right.
I think this is a disarming comment designed to leave you wide open for the thrust through the gut.
Then let's see what the thrust is.
We need those people in society.
Otherwise, the rest of us think that every other day should be like the previous one.
So let me just lead with that.
But I can tell you that the first people to do really expensive things where they're dangerous and people could die and there's no known return on investment, those are not business people.
Those are governments.
The first Europeans to the New World were not the Dutch East India Trading Company.
It was Columbus, funded by Spain.
Then he draws the maps.
And here's the trade winds.
And here's where the hostels are and the friendlies are.
Here's where you find the fruit that you can eat.
Then you can make a business case for it.
Otherwise, it's a really short meeting.
If I say, hey, I'm going to go to Mars, bring in all your venture capitalists.
And they start asking questions.
How much does it cost?
I don't know, but a lot.
And is it dangerous?
Yeah, people probably die.
What's my return on investment?
I have no idea.
Probably zero.
That's a five-minute meeting.
And it doesn't happen.
So you have to...
Somebody's got to go out there with the long view.
The longer than the quarterly report view.
And once the patents are awarded and you establish what's dangerous and what's safe, then you make the business case.
Alright, a couple of things here.
The government's already done the heavy lifting.
It's time for the private sector to take over.
I don't know what he's talking about.
I do.
He wants money.
Right, government money.
Also, you know, I always like the way people leave out the pre-Columbus history.
The Vikings, for example, have known, this is long since known, they've We've colonized the northern part of the New England area and may have even gone as far inland as Oklahoma.
Were they funded by the government of Viking?
No, they weren't.
They were independent operators, as far as I know.
But again, they were kind of the government...
It was a different structure and probably more democratic than anything anyone's ever seen.
And somewhat brutal, I'm guessing, but I don't know for sure.
Because they're long gone.
I just think this is superficial analysis on his part.
I think you're right.
I think there was a grudging dislike, and it's easy enough to do, of Elon Musk, who is a...
Douche.
A sharp operator.
There you go.
And this then takes me to a report.
I should have played him in a different order.
Going back to the global warming climate change, which started in 1821 with the hurricane of 1821, September 3rd, my birthday.
I'd like to take us back to 28, 2008, 2008.
If you can travel back with me, John, are you there?
Hey, John, we're back in 2008.
Hey, my voice isn't changed.
Whoa, hold on a second.
We're going back even further.
Yeah, sorry about that.
Here is ABC with a montage.
Regarding climate change specifically as it relates to, well, not specifically, but it also relates to New York City and what we will see in June by June 8th of 2015.
Today is June 14th, 2015.
So we've already seen it then.
We have seen it and it's already happened.
I'd like to play this clip and then we'll jump forward to today and then see if the prediction came true.
In 2015, we've still failed to address the climate problem.
We're going to see more floods, more droughts, more wildfires.
Flames cover hundreds of square miles.
We expect more intense hurricanes.
Well, how warm is it going to get?
How much will sea level rise?
We don't really know where the end is.
Temperatures have hit dangerous levels.
Agricultural production is dropping because temperatures are rising.
There's about 1 billion people who are malnourished.
That number just continually grows.
It's June 8th, 2015.
One carton of milk is $12.99.
Gas has reached over $9 a gallon.
I'm scared of s*** right now, but I have to get this out.
We're all going to die!
Alright, you get the clip of the day.
Play it, play it!
Oh, boy.
You know, I was so...
So happy with this clip when it came out.
You have no idea.
I was just like, oh yeah, I got it.
I have that.
I'm taking it.
I'm loving it.
Clip of the day.
I got nothing close to that.
How much is the price of milk going to be?
$12.
$12, okay.
Gasoline, $9.25.
Yeah.
Hold on a second.
Let's go back to it.
Whoa!
That feels good.
Back.
John, what's the price of gas over there?
I just bought a tank at premium.
It was $3.45.
$2.59 here in the great state of Texas.
How about milk?
Have you checked any milk recently?
Was it a gallon of milk they were talking about?
Yeah, a gallon of milk.
Only one gallon left on the shelves, mind you.
There's only a gallon left.
That was five bucks.
Isn't that great?
You gotta find that clip of where they say it's never gonna...
No, there is no clip.
That was in the British newspapers.
And I don't know if we're Guardian, but certainly Telegraph and, of course, Daily News, the Screws, Daily Mail.
These guys are gonna go all in on this crap.
They can't do this.
This is why you have all these so-called deniers.
It's because it looks as though somebody is lying through their teeth about all this constantly.
Where's the hurricanes?
Where's the $9 milk?
$12.
$12 milk.
Anyway, good one.
Great.
I was wondering where you were going with this whole thing.
That was worth it.
Thank you.
Thank you, sir.
Now, I want to ask you a couple questions.
Okay, I'm ready.
I got up early.
You said you looked over the TPPA some time ago, and you did this thing about it.
Hold on, hold on, hold on.
You mean the Fast Track Authority, or the TPP, or the TTIP? The TPPA. The Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement.
I think it's called TAA. Well, if you look up TPPA, it's called that, too.
Okay, all right, all right.
Now, maybe what you read or talked about is something else, because this thing here is completely out of control now.
Okay.
They wouldn't give Obama fast-track authority, because this document that they're negotiating over, which seems to, and if I'm not mistaken, excludes China, is about somehow screwing China.
Yeah, with Japan and Malaysia and Malacca Straits and all that, yeah.
I'm looking at the...
Well, let's try to keep up and go with...
DeFazio is a congressman from Oregon, and he was on the NewsHour with Judy.
And so I have three clips, including one that's got some NLP stuff in it, which I think we'll play first so we can just bring that back.
Because throughout the show today, I'm going to say there's another example.
Okay, I have one too.
I'll do an example as well.
Good.
This is DeFazio 2.
We interviewed Josh Earnest, the White House Press Secretary, on the NewsHour last night.
He said it does have enforceable labor standards.
He said it does have enforceable environmental standards.
He talked about it's going to create jobs.
Are you saying the White House is mistaken or what?
Probably the White House has been briefed by their special trade representative, who's a salesman.
And, you know, I have read those chapters.
I can't talk about them in detail because they're classified.
But let me just say this.
The use of the word may does not sound like a binding standard to me.
Huh.
All right.
Did you catch that?
I heard a number of things, but go ahead.
Well, who said May?
Right.
I presume that would be Josh Earnest.
Well, that's not what the question was.
That was the way it was presented by Judy.
Can I listen again?
Just listen again.
Now everyone's primed.
Let's listen again.
We interviewed Josh Earnest, the White House Press Secretary, on the NewsHour last night.
He said it does have enforceable labor standards.
He said it does have enforceable environmental standards.
He talked about it's going to create jobs.
Are you saying the White House is mistaken or what?
Probably the White House has been briefed by their special trade representative, who's a salesman.
And, you know, I have read those chapters.
I can't talk about them in detail because they're classified.
But let me just say this.
The use of the word may does not sound like a binding standard to me.
Hello, DeFrazio.
You're under arrest for divulging classified material.
He's telling us what's in the document.
He might be.
We don't know.
Because it's classified for some reason.
And here's what's bothering me about this, and I will play a couple more of these clips.
Everybody is all upset about this being classified.
Some of it got into WikiLeaks, and it looks like it looks, and these names keep cropping up, and I personally, just from what we've been doing for the last seven, eight years on this show, I believe this has to do, that at some point they're classifying it, because this has to do with somehow the pharmaceutical companies finding new ways to screw the public.
More about copyrights and patents, I'm pretty sure.
Right, more about copyrights and patents.
Of pharmaceuticals.
And pharmaceuticals, monopolies.
And this is how the World War II started, with Bayer and all these guys.
They wanted to protect their own death and destruction things.
These pharmaceutical companies are the epitome of evil, it seems to me.
And I think this is really mostly about that.
I agree.
What bothers me is that I started looking into this a little more on a worldwide basis, and what I'm seeing, and I see it in New Zealand, I see it in the Malaysian area, I see it mostly in the United States, I see it And I think there's a mirror of it taking place in Europe because there's a similar deal going on there, which I again believe is to benefit the drug companies and maybe Hollywood because they've got a copyright thing going on too.
And Malaysia is really where the nexus is of copyright.
Yeah, that's where all the bootlegs come from.
What I'm seeing is identical messaging in way too many places.
And it all looks the same.
If you go to the New Zealand protest sites, very slick by the way.
We're not looking at amateur hour.
We're looking at very slick productions.
But it all says the exact same thing.
Didn't 350.org come from New Zealand as well?
I don't know that it did, but if it did, it wouldn't surprise me.
I'll check, I'll check.
But there's a commonality that's always upsetting.
Anyone who listens to our show knows that we're always looking for this sort of thing when it's like...
Something is coordinated.
You know, the same signs that people, you have at protest movements, the exact same signs, that sort of thing.
So that bothers me.
And the angle with China is also bothersome.
And I don't, and of course, the classified document, what is the point of this?
Well, I do want to interject for a moment.
I looked at perhaps a different document, but there's three documents.
One is the TTIP. That's for Europe.
That's not what we're talking about.
But it would come into play with an authority granted by Congress to the President.
The document that I read was, I believe, the fast-track author, this TPPA may be a new version of it, but I read whatever document was available, and reading through that, it's really just protectionary measures.
It's not saying what we're going to do is going to say what the President must...
Adhere to when negotiating.
So there are certain points.
And I really didn't see anything out of the ordinary.
But again, I don't know if this is the same document.
The document no one has seen that is truly being negotiated in secret is the actual TPP. So let's just make sure that we're talking about a distinction here.
And it would be nice to know what this was.
And I can see what...
But why would...
Let's try to figure out why you'd keep...
Why is this a secret?
Why do they do the negotiations in secret negotiations with a secret document that is classified?
For this very reason.
It will never ever get done if it's done out in the open and everybody is commenting on it and the media jumps on every single thing.
It's probably easier to say, I'm sorry it's classified, can't talk about it.
Otherwise, you definitely will not get it done.
The idea is to get it done.
Well, this is not working out, this theory.
It's not getting done.
And I don't think it's going to get done.
Let's play the first clip, which is DeFazio on voting no over the TPPA discussion.
Tonight, we hear from a House Democrat who's been a vocal opponent, Representative Peter DeFazio from Oregon.
I spoke with him late this afternoon.
Welcome, Congressman Peter DeFazio.
Congressman, in voting down this trade legislation, something the president has lobbied for for months, this was a direct rebuke to him, wasn't it?
It's a rebuke to the policy he's trying to push through Congress with fast-track authority, no amendments allowed, up or down vote only for the largest trade agreement in the history of the United States, 29 chapters long.
And it was a rebuke for what we know of those policies.
It's a classified document, but many of us have read part of it.
It does not do many things he purports it does.
It does not have enforceable labor standards.
It does not have enforceable environmental standards.
It doesn't do anything about currency manipulation.
He admits that.
And it sets up new secret private tribunals which are only accessible by multinational corporations where they can challenge our domestic laws.
That's pretty amazing stuff.
Congressman, you told reporters earlier that the president hurt his own cause, in effect, by what he said to members.
Hmm.
Okay.
There's that, and then we might as well finish off with the third one, which is a little more complaining about some of the stuff that's already taking place based on some, I guess, other agreements.
Well, let me also quote to you from what one of your fellow Democratic congressmen, Ron Kine, said.
We just heard him tell our reporter, Lisa Desjardins, he said, for our caucus not to even give the president, in his words, the decency or the respect to trust him a little bit, to go out and negotiate a trade agreement, he said, is selling the administration short.
We have read in a classified form, which we can't talk about, the proposed document.
We see sections that have been written by corporations and confirmed in emails that they were written by corporations and inserted into that bill.
We just saw last night the Republicans repealed country of origin meat labeling.
I believe 93% of the American people support that, and we did that because of a weaker trade agreement that we're in the WTO, where we can't be challenged by corporations, only by other governments.
Under this one, any corporation can challenge any American law.
And we know that the pharmaceutical industry is a big winner in this, and it's very likely that they will come back and challenge our requirement that they give the lowest price to Medicaid patients.
That they give reduced prices to people on Medicare Part D. That they will attack our bulk purchasing for veterans.
Now the President's right.
They can't make us repeal those laws.
They can just make us pay to keep them.
And that's why last night the Republicans repealed country of origin meat labeling because we would have had to pay $3 billion a year to label where your meat came from.
Right.
That was an interesting little comment at the end.
Yes.
Well, I'm all for the TPP, as you know.
I think we should definitely fast-track it, get it done, because I would like to see the New World Order get together quicker, so we get to the tipping point.
Wasting time.
Yes, just stop wasting time.
Let's move on.
Let's get to it.
All in favor of Bilderberg, say aye.
Aye.
I'm all for it.
I have no problem.
Hillary for president, TPP all the way.
Bumper sticker of the day.
I'm for it.
You should put that in your truck in Texas.
I got a...
I will.
I got a note back from my former New York banker friend here in Austin.
Remember you had this opening, was it NewsHour, where they talked about the derivatives?
No.
Grease.
They talked about Grease and it was the open lead story.
The stock market right off the top.
This came out this week.
How easy is it to buy or sell something?
To sell a house takes much longer than to sell a stock, right?
Stocks are more liquid than houses.
Yes, that's an extreme example.
But now there is a rising chorus on Wall Street that...
Bonds have become much less easy to buy or sell, and it's true for both corporate bonds and also government debt.
This means quite literally a fund manager needing to make six phone calls to make a large trade when he used to take only one or two.
Why does this matter?
Lack of liquidity affects price.
According to J.P. Morgan, a year ago, banks could trade around $280 million of U.S. Treasuries without causing a significant price movement.
Now they estimate that is closer to 80 million.
That's the big problem with illiquid markets.
Individual trades have an outsized effect on price.
Why is this happening?
There are a lot of theories out there.
Some say it's all about supply.
Investment banks and their trading desks are keeping much smaller inventories of bonds than they used to.
They used to hold a lot more.
But in an effort to lower risk levels and meet new regulatory requirements...
Banks have cut bond inventories by 75% since 2007.
That's according to the Institute of International Finance.
And there just aren't enough sellers.
The trading has been so one directional for so long, everyone's been doing nothing but buying for years and years and years, that when it comes to selling, it's hard to find anyone who's already topped up.
Add to that, central banks around the world have been scooping up government debt as part of the global quantitative easing binge and we've got another lack of supply there.
So some of the issues, and we'll see if some moment comes when it's really going to be ugly in the bond market as a result.
Now, did you discuss this at all on DH Unplugged with Horowitz?
No, we've discussed this issue before.
This actually is old.
Cliff's not old, but this problem with bonds is not new.
And one of the things that we do bring up now and again, and she's hinted at it, is that, and there were some hot shots, I can't remember his name, one of the hot shots in the business, Who everyone listens to.
I think it was about two years ago, maybe two and a half years ago, predicted by now.
Oh, the Black Swan guy.
The Black Swan guy, probably.
No, it wasn't the Black Swan guy.
It was an investor.
Oh, okay.
A big shot.
He predicted a crash in the bond market that would make millionaires overnight.
And it was going to be a whopper.
And it was going to be, and this is like, again, two years ago, he says it was going to be within the next year or a year and a half.
It's already gone past his predicted date.
He's probably moved on to global warming predictions.
And the guy, somebody point blank asked him, he says, how are you going to know when's the time?
When's the time to short bonds?
Because the bonds are going to all fall into the tank and the interest rates are going to go up.
We haven't seen no evidence of that so far.
He says, you'll know, which means it'll be one of those situations where you'll know.
I'll know pornography when I see it.
I'll know pornography when I see it.
Yeah, same thing.
You'll know.
This has not happened.
Well, here is the response from the official insider of the No Agenda show, the former New York banker.
And the first thing he says is, I got out of banking because it's no fun anymore.
And he relates that to all the regulation.
You can't do all the cool stuff.
And specifically to this report, he says, dealers have much less capacity to hold inventories so the market will be more volatile.
That's the regulation that made his work no fun.
But every doomed scenario of massively higher interest rates comes from a weird fantasy of a, quote, melt-up.
You sell bonds when other markets are more attractive.
No real fear of that in a world where Greece is about to default and Brazil and Russia are doing very badly.
Well, there you have it.
I think he's also saying something else here.
What is he saying?
Greece is going to default for sure.
This has been going on for this default.
Two years.
This is the exact, again, using the fractal of global warming.
This is the, oh, if we don't do something by the end of the month, it'll be too late.
It'll be too late!
And we've been hearing the too late thing for the last two or three years while doing this show.
I think when we began the show, we were hearing that.
Oh, if we don't do something by the end of this year, it'll be too late!
Beyond the point of no return!
And that's what they've been saying about Greece the whole time.
Now Horowitz's company, he's decided on a lark To invest in the Bank of Greece because the thing is so depressed that if this thing ever gets resolved.
Just put pennies in there.
It's easy to lose the money.
That's like a dollar.
Right.
And I think, which I think is an interesting bet.
Hmm.
But again, this may not be a really good bet for another couple of years.
This is just going to go on forever.
They're not defaulting.
They have to rape the citizens a little bit more before anything happens.
I don't know who's getting raped.
Greek citizens have already been raped.
No, there's more.
Tax on your fourth wheel of your automobile is coming.
They're crazy.
And they have to sell all the assets.
Sell more assets.
That's what they're after, the violence and rights to the pipelines and all that stuff.
Well, with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage to say in the morning to you, John C., where the C stands for Climate Denial Dvorak.
Well, in the morning to you, Mr.
Adam Curry.
Also, in the morning to all the ships and sea boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water, and all the dames and knights out there.
In the morning to everyone in the chat room, noagendastream.com.
Good to see you all up and awake and at it this morning.
Thank you very much.
In the morning to our artists, we have an art-off.
Between Nick the Rat and Martin J.J., boom, boom, boom, back and forth.
I love watching these guys go at it.
Martin J.J. did the album art for episode 729.
I will say that I used some art in the newsletter from Picasso.
Yeah, I didn't understand the frogs.
Maybe it's boiling frogs?
Maybe that's what he's doing.
He's got these frog heads in there.
Maybe.
I don't know.
It's just a vague reference.
It's a good looking frog head that is you could be made into a rubber stamp, I believe, and probably sell well.
There's a market in rubber frog stamps.
Yes, rubber stamps with frog head rubber stamps.
Before you continue, though, John, with thanking our executive producers and associate executive producers, I want to show the love that exists between two men.
And this relates directly to the album art that Martin J.J. created of the fluffy bear...
And this is due to our conversation about my former use of dryer sheets.
Which you were...
Even on the show, when you said, why would you use those?
I listened to you, and in fact, I dried my towels the other day, and I did not put in a dryer sheet.
And they were nice and fluffy.
But here's what John sent me Saturday.
Here's some of the crap that's in fabric softeners.
The two that concern me are benzyl alcohol and pentate.
I do not want to be in constant contact with either.
Also, the coating on towels hinders absorption, making the towel shitty, but soft.
And then you have this list.
Benzyl acetate linked to pancreatic cancer.
Benzyl alcohol, upper respiratory tract irritant.
Aterpinol can cause respiratory problems including fatal edema and central nervous system damage.
Ethyl acetate, a narcotic on the EPA's hazardous waste list.
Camphor causes central nervous system disorders.
I don't have Tourette's.
I have dryer sheet disorder.
You could.
Yeah.
These are all things I'd want to wash out of my clothes, not wash into them.
And then here, John, I love you so much, man.
If you give me a tip, use biz once in a while with 12-hour soaking in cold water to see what fresh is all about.
Nice.
Thank you, man.
I felt loved.
Well, I'm glad somebody looks out for you.
Thank you very much.
But yeah, there was a bunch of, but yeah.
I'm saying, but yeah, that's great.
But yeah.
I heard myself on a couple of those little gaffes, including to excess on the long clips.
To an extreme.
To an extreme, right.
To excess.
To an extreme.
It was very, very foppish, I think, to even use that term.
Well, I'm glad you got something out of me when you stopped using those stupid sheets.
I don't know why people...
You know, people got...
It's all marketing that suckered people into using these things.
And yeah, they do make your clothes feel softer, even though they're kind of greasy with this crap.
You can feel it.
I can feel it.
You can feel a thin film of God knows what.
Cancer.
Cancer.
A film of cancer.
A film of potential cancer.
Someone said throw a tennis ball in.
I'm going to try that.
What's that do?
I know what we're doing.
Beat up the clothes a little bit and fluff them up.
I'll try that.
That's good.
Unless you have real high temperatures in the dryer and it melts the tennis ball.
You'd have a very interesting mess on your hands.
Alright, let's thank a few people who...
Helped us out for show 7.30.
7.30 in the morning, as a matter of fact.
Sir David Foley!
Now, I have him, based upon his request, I did a little montage, so let's read his donation note first.
Go.
In the morning, gentlemen, and close, please find my 7.30 club donation.
He's now in the club.
He's been in the club.
I would like to make a call out to the constituents of the United States.
As your Grand Duke, I hereby request that you keep donating to the best podcast in the universe while I am on sabbatical for the next year.
I'll need a double dose of karma, if you please.
Dames, knights, slaves, producers, and members of the channel, please direct your attention to the 4K telescreens for another donation from the Grand Duke, David Foley.
Oh!
Here's a donation from David Foley, not the Dave Foley from Kids in the Hall.
He's a Grand Duke, so holy moly, buy a 4K TV-a-all.
Kids and slaves will get no nation.
Please rise in recognition of Sir David Foley, Grand Duke of the United States of America.
Fuck yeah.
You've got karma.
You've got karma.
And there we go.
Only a grand duke is a true double.
Sure does.
Sir Brian Barrow, a black knight of Wooten Bassett, Wiltshire, UK, 34567.
From the black knight, dear John and Adam, on the last show you referred to my brother's keeper initiative, and I talked about the origin of the phrase.
Well, it's true that it comes from the Bible.
There's another reason for the phrase.
Sorry for not telling you.
When you first raised us on show 596, a long-time listener, Because it took no time at all for me to figure this one out, it comes from the 1991 film New Jack City, starring Wesley Snipes.
In it, the response to the question is, yes, I am.
And he sends the clip.
Oh, I didn't get that clip on top.
It's right there.
You can go look at it now.
When you first played the piece on this, you first played this back on show 596.
You played the clip of Obama announcing the initiative.
The moment he said the words, am I my brother's keeper?
I immediately said, yes, I am, which comes from the movie.
Now I've seen the clip off to go back and watch the movie again.
In the meantime, keep up the excellent work.
The following is really unusual, and I can imagine a 91 movie having an influence.
And New Jack City was very...
Well, I'm bringing up the clip now.
Let's see.
Oh, yeah, here we go.
This is the food of our hard work.
Oh, come on, people.
Don't do that to me.
Just play normal, will you?
Fucker.
That's no good.
Sorry.
We'll do a follow-up on this.
The following, nor reading, not reading.
You don't have to read anything else.
Okay.
We'll just say thank you.
And give him a karma.
Of course.
You've got karma.
I had a glitch.
Glitch.
Those glitches.
Sir Dr.
Sharky in Jackson, Tennessee, 33333.
Dear Tourette and Angry Guy, thanks for supplying my twice weekly T&A. I was watching a show about Stonehenge, and they mentioned several burial mounds that have been discovered surrounding the Henge.
They said the oldest burial mounds date to 1000 BC. The astonishing thing about them is that each mound is precisely 33 meters in length.
So the magic number goes back at least 3000 years!
33!
That's the magic number.
Go, younger!
It's the magic number.
You've got Carmen.
Nice. .
Indeed.
Let's see, we got...
Oh, nuts.
Marvin Brittain.
Yeah, I'm looking to see if he has an email, because he's got an empty thing here, and it wasn't a check.
So, well, you don't have anything.
At least my email can't find it.
I'm having a look here.
Donation note.
No, it's an old one, 2014.
I don't have anything.
Wait a minute.
Hold on a second.
It finally came up.
My email's been running slow.
Here it is.
Producer donation note for show 730.
Greetings from Bellevue, Nebraska.
This donation brings my wife, Peggy Brittan, up to a night.
You know, get your pencil out.
She being the voice of guilt about my lack of donation.
She gets the damehood.
Hold on a second.
This is not on our list, is it?
Why would it be?
I don't know.
Well, I mean, he sends me an email, and I don't know.
He magically can't show up on the list.
Now, I didn't see it, so I didn't forward it.
It would have been on the list if I had seen it.
Okay, so...
Peggy Britton.
Peggy Britton.
Yeah.
We had intended to finish her knighthood a couple of months ago, but she had three hospital stays in one month.
Comes a karma.
And now is the owner of a pacemaker.
Yikes.
This donation puts her at exactly $1,000, so tell Adam to keep his penny.
He may need it.
Oh, oh, oh!
I dropped it already.
It's on the floor.
Go pick it up.
I'm picking it up.
I think he would like to be known as Dame Yeah No.
Nice.
Amen.
Fist bump.
Dame.
Dame, yeah, no.
And here we go.
Got your pencil?
Wait, don't we do karma for her first?
No, I still got more read.
Oh, there's more?
Okay, yes.
Yes, she requests a new addition to the night's menu.
Ah, okay.
This is becoming a thing now.
Yeah, nice.
Cheap wine and chili dogs.
Nice.
Cheap wine and...
It's a good combo.
If it's from a box.
Let me tell you.
Good wine is good with everything, including chili dogs.
I don't like chili dogs that much.
We would like the following clips.
This is not going to happen, I can assure you.
We'll try.
Reverend Manning, triple combo.
We've got to talk about that.
Whoop-em, long version of the Constitution, and boom shakalaka with a health karma.
Okay, so I know where to find these.
So we need...
Hold on a second.
Manning, long version...
Yeah, but we got to talk about that.
I don't even know what that is.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay.
Long version.
Yeah, we got to talk about that.
And then what else?
Boom shakalaka.
Kid or jingle?
That's all Manning.
So I'll do the jingle because that kind of works a little bit in our favor.
I want to see if I can make this work.
Now get out there and whoop Obama's behind!
Whooping, whooping, whooping, whooping, whooping, whooping, whooping, whooping what the constitution!
The city of Moody's moore, me comentarios, whooping, whooping, whooping, whooping, whooping, whooping, whooping, whooping, whooping, whooping, whooping, whooping, whooping, whooping, whooping, whooping, whooping, whooping, whooping, whooping, whooping, whooping? Whooping, whooping, whooping, whooping all of them behind.
Whooping, whooping, whooping, whooping.
You got to talk about that.
You've got karma.
He drops the mic and grabs the popcorn.
That was good.
I didn't think you could do that, even come close.
Because I don't remember that one.
I just don't know.
Kidneys, my friend.
Onward, kidneys.
Sir Roy Pingle in Woodhaven, New York, $213.13.
He'll be the associate executive producer for show 730.
Greetings from Sir Roy of Hoyt Scammerhorn.
Yes, my nighting is that Brooklyn subway station, Hoyt Scammerhorn, where Michael Jackson's video, Bad, was shot, as well as part of Diana Ross's The Wiz.
But I've abandoned Barclays, Brooklyn, to the calmer, totally non-hipster, unnotorious Queens neighborhood of Woodhaven, New York.
Except for me, there are no escapees here.
And then he's got a happy 13th birthday, 13th day of June to his son, Daniel.
And we got that pronounced Haya.
Haya.
And some karma for him.
Okay.
Haya.
Haya.
You've got karma.
Haya.
Wrapping up the executive associate executive producers is Sir Philip the Black Baronet in Oslo, Norway.
200 bucks.
Please accept this as credit for the damehood of my beautiful wife and best friend, Sarah Dornanville, Delacour.
As I am both a black knight and a black baronet, I shall now go by the name Sir Philip the Black Baronet of Western Oslo.
Love the show.
You guys have been really kicking some serious butt in the past month of shows, starting with show 722, I might add, and people might want to check that out.
My deepest thanks and sincere respect for your efforts in creating and maintaining the best podcast in the universe.
The best podcast in the universe!
Now this seems like an old donation, John, this from Dow.
This was a carryover.
This is the one we did that got in after midnight and we credited him on the last show so we don't need to mention it.
We are good.
That will be all our executive producers.
Oh, that's it?
Yeah, that would be it.
I finished off the little group.
And I want to remind people, we do have a show coming up on Thursday.
Dvorak.org slash NA is the place to go if you want to help us out on that show.
And we appreciate all of our executive producers and associate executive producers.
These credits are, of course, real.
They're just like Hollywood.
Since we don't have actresses for you to bang off the coast of Cannes there on your yacht, we read your notes.
It's a close second.
And as John said, we'll have another show on Thursday.
And we do need your support.
And of course, we always need you out there doing the very important work of propagating our formula.
Our formula is this.
We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
Water! Water! Shut up, slave!
Shut up, slave!
Shut up, slave.
Shut up already, slave.
Did you just hear the story about this?
This is like in the news on the West Coast, and I'm sure it's really big up in Seattle area.
This woman who...
Well, you're prefacing it by saying that I probably wouldn't have heard of it because it's not anywhere near here, this news.
That's what I'm pressing.
That's what I'm saying.
Okay.
You probably haven't heard of it, but this woman who's one of the, I guess, officers of the NAACP claiming to be a black...
Of course I've heard of this.
It's hilarious.
I love this.
I love this.
She's got her hair going and everything.
She's black.
She's got the corn rose.
She's got the deep tan that makes her look a little black.
And she's got the contacts that are funny colored.
She's got the whole thing going on.
And her parents are going, she's white.
The parents came out finally and said, what is wrong with our daughter?
Have you seen the pictures of her as a little girl?
Yes, of course.
She's blonde.
She looks like she's ready to be a cheerleader.
A white bread cheerleader.
Yes.
Give me a B! Give me an L! Give me an A! Give me a C! They had this one reporter showing her a picture, and she says, that's your dad?
And she points at this black guy, straight out of South Alabama.
Yeah, that's him!
He couldn't make it to the event, but yeah, yeah, that's him, that guy.
So that's when I think the dad got pissed off, her real dad.
What is this?
Busted her.
There's one scene where somebody confronts her and she runs off.
Anyway, I thought it was the story of the day.
You don't have a clip, though.
I didn't make a clip myself.
It wasn't worth a clip.
I think the discussion's enough.
I did receive a clip from a show that I've never watched, but I think I need to start watching it.
This is called Odd Mom Out.
Are you familiar with this program?
I've heard of it.
I don't think you should start watching it, though, but play the clip.
Okay, you ready?
Yeah.
Do you hear Miles ridiculing my sass?
What's sass?
Psi plus ass equals sass.
And after three kids, my badge is like the Holland Tunnel.
Oh, let's stop for a second.
So, the meme first is sass.
Which apparently equals thigh plus ass.
That is thighs.
And then she says, after three kids, my vag is like the Holland Tunnel.
Okay.
And then...
Sometimes I walk around and it sounds like somebody's stirring mac and cheese.
Sometimes I walk around and it sounds like someone's stirring mac and cheese.
The show you should watch...
But this is disgusting!
It's totally disgusting.
But the show you should watch is Unreal.
This is Unreal as far as I'm concerned.
Now, Unreal is a...
Docudrama about the backstage of a reality TV show operation.
Ooh, nice.
They've only had two out so far, and they're very good, and they've got some good actors, and they do reveal a number of things that I forgot about that some of these shows do, and people should be aware of this.
I know that Jerry Springer used to have a list, a fee list that they would give the consultants.
And if you went on the Jerry Springer show, you had to sign a nondisclosure about this.
And somebody was talking about it.
I guess they didn't care about the nondisclosure.
But there was a fee list where if you were on the show and you were yelling at people, if you threw your shoe.
You got more money.
You got more money.
Only on the Jerry Springer show do they do this.
But if you throw your shoe, you got like $100.
If you got up out of the chair, you got like 50 bucks.
If you made a threatening gesture, you started charging the guy, you'd get like more money.
And at the end of the show, they'd sit you down with the tape and then he was like a Chinese restaurant.
They'd check off.
That's worth 20.
That's 200 there.
Oh, that's good.
That's good.
Well, in these reality TV shows, at least the way they're portrayed in Unreal, the sitcom, they do the same thing.
And when they set the scene up, they present people with a fee schedule for what they could make if they do the following.
And I'm assuming that what you just played was a fee schedule-based confession.
It's not a reality show, is it?
I thought it was a drama show.
What, Unreal?
No, Odd Mom Out, the one I just played.
No, no, that's got to be a reality show.
I don't think so.
Oh, come on.
Yeah, it sounds like it.
There's nobody...
Was that acting?
Are you telling me that those were actors?
That's a written line as far as I'm concerned.
Well, that's a written line you'd get paid for.
You'd get paid extra money.
Let me just see if it's a reality show.
It has to be.
Come on.
You make a very valid point.
I did not check to see it.
Odd man.
Odd mom.
Odd mom.
Odd mom out.
It was just so mind-boggling to me, this clip.
This is the kind of crap that we're...
Yeah, it's on Bravo.
Oh, no.
Scripted half-hour comedy.
Okay, so it's a comedy.
It's not a drama.
No.
No, it's a drama, but it's a comedy, and it's scripted.
It's not a reality show.
Okay, it's scripted.
Alright, you're right.
That's, you know, and I'm reliably informed.
Just because you had three kids does not make your vag like the Holland Tunnel.
Well, it depends.
One of the kids is a 50-pounder.
I've been around.
It was a bowling ball.
I was nine pounds, two ounces.
My mom died angry at me.
Still angry after all those years?
Yeah, I came out and my nose was...
You son of a bitch!
Do you know what you did to me?
That was thrown in my face many, many times.
And she showed this picture of me when I was a couple hours old.
My nose is as flat as a Malaysian person's nose.
I was squeezed.
I had a big head.
Poor mom.
But it doesn't mean that you have to have a vag that's making mac and cheese.
What is this?
I'm looking at the website for it.
The pastor is right.
The end times are upon us.
Do you hear Miles ridiculing my sass?
What's sass?
Sass plus ass equals sass.
Yeah, I do.
My vag is like the Holland Tunnel.
Sometimes I walk around and it sounds like somebody's stirring mac and cheese.
Mac and cheese.
How can you...
Okay, here's a clip.
Play this one.
It says Borschen.
Borschen writes commentary.
Gee, I wonder what that's about.
A Republican lawmaker from Bakersfield is blaming the state's drought on California's liberal abortion laws.
Assemblywoman Shannon Grove believes the power of God has disrupted normal weather patterns and imposed the drought as retribution.
She told a group against abortion rights in Sacramento that Texas was in a long period of drought until the governor there signed a bill banning late-term abortions.
That night, she said, it rained.
Supporters of abortion rights described Groves' remarks as ridiculous.
That...
It seems like it's a funny clip.
That's borderline clip of the day, John.
It wasn't going to hold it beat yours, so I'm...
How much are you...
This is ridiculous, this show.
Borderline clip of the day.
Well, we'd be playing that all day.
Oh, yeah.
Now, here's what's interesting about this story is that it was a subtle piece of propaganda.
You think?
Well, that this woman's a lunatic.
But it was the way they played it.
And I think that I'm not one of those guys, oh, you know, it's journalism, this and that.
There was a flaw in the way they did this story.
At the end, they did a one-remark commentary at the end.
When an abortion rights person said this was ridiculous, they should have gone and asked a pro-life person what they thought.
Because they would have said the same thing.
It's ridiculous.
But the way they balanced the story with imbalance, they made it sound like, oh, there you go again.
You crazy Republicans.
That's right.
So I was very disappointed in the reporting on it.
I'm not.
Great story.
I'm happy.
That's good.
I like it.
Very nice.
Alright.
NLP. Here's my NLP. My NLP clip.
Josh Earnest being asked about the non-combat troops to train the Iraqi security forces.
Now, the reason I clip this, and people, of course, know that once you are listening to a television segment, you hear a whole bunch of other things, and often just gems.
And I heard two things in this.
One is kind of important when it comes to the total count of how many troops we will be sending to Iraq for the fifth base to open up.
A fifth base?
I'm not even talking about the other four anymore.
The fifth base, and of course, you know, John McCain and Lindsey Graham want 10,000 troops minimum to go in there.
And I think I noticed this before.
The Josh Earnest does an NLP thing, which is very blatant, yet he just does it over and over again.
And when you pay attention, then you hear, oh my god, it's such a good...
And I'm going to be using this myself as much as possible.
The president is confident that the announcement that he made today...
To establish essentially a fifth base in Iraq where U.S. military personnel and some coalition military personnel will conduct training, advising, and assist operations, will bolster the capacity of both the Iraqi security forces as well as the Sunni tribal fighters in Anbar.
that are operating under the command and control of the Iraqi central government.
And that will further our strategy to assist the Iraqis as they take the fight to ISIL on the ground in their own country.
And we can support them through these missions that the president has authorized.
We can also support them with military air power.
But ultimately, it will not be the responsibility of the U.S. military to go in and do for the Iraqis what they must do for themselves.
Because 450 is the number that's required to carry out the mission that's been expanded to Takatum Air Base.
Now, just so we understand this, what he's really saying, which, of course, there's no follow-up question on, is the 450 troops is for this mission.
It's just for this mission.
It's not for the overall mission.
Just for this one base, this one mission, for this one group of guys that are going to train, which means we'll be sending many, many more for other missions.
Here comes the NLP bit.
So it is the number of personnel that is specifically required to do what the president announced today.
What is also true is the president has directed his national security team.
I love this!
What is also true...
Oh yeah.
That's really good.
I didn't take that cookie.
What is also true, I didn't pull the cat's tail.
I like that.
Yeah, I was getting a number of these sorts of...
Yeah.
I think we've got to be on the lookout for more of this sort of thing.
This is associative lying.
You know, you say one thing and then you make the assumption that all the bull crap you said before...
In somebody else's mind is absolutely true because you say what is also true, which is really not about the next sentence.
It's about the stuff you just said.
Exactly.
Because now you've said it's true in somebody's brain.
Well, it's true, okay.
Well, here's kind of an associative clip.
Play this Another Base in Iraq.
The top U.S. general says the United States may build more military bases in Iraq as part of its escalating campaign against the self-proclaimed Islamic State.
The remarks by chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Martin Dempsey, came a day after the White House confirmed plans to deploy up to 450 new U.S. troops to train and back Iraqi forces at a training hub in Anbar province.
Dempsey said the Pentagon could establish more sites and deploy even more troops.
There you go.
There you go.
That was your...
Dempsey, you know, is not...
Yeah, Dempsey's always just telling the truth, this guy.
Yeah, he just tells the truth.
Why does he do that?
He doesn't care.
He doesn't care.
I don't know.
He's got something on someone.
He does not care.
Here is my favorite clip.
This would be a clip of the day.
I feel bad now.
You're trying and trying and trying.
Well, try this one.
Okay.
Now, this one, the word is epic.
It should be epic, but I've got ep-biv.
And by the way, I'm sorry, and I said by the way.
Coincidentally, we have a show 200.7 coming up in a couple of weeks, where it's a meta show of 2000.6 and 2000.5.
And we discuss specifically how the show works and your labeling of clips, which is very handy.
Here in New York, the culture-jamming activist group The Yes Men protested Shell's plans to drill for oil in the Arctic by handing out ancient shaved ice from the remnants of the last icebergs of the North Pole.
Does that include woolly mammoth sap?
We got a little Amy jingle there for you.
Wow.
Yeah.
Amy.
I can keep track of all this.
You're going to need a couple extra boards.
You're like, we need a robot monkey.
A mechanical Turk.
That would help.
Mm-hmm.
I got it real good.
We're on this side tricks here.
CIA and this is...
Now, we've been wanting to read about the 28 pages, the missing 28 pages.
I received the full document with the redacted bits.
So if you look at the report, this is about the 28 pages missing from the CIA's version of the 9-11 Commission report or their report that went into the 9-11 Commission report.
Right, but this is not the 28 pages from the 9-11 report.
Oh, okay.
Then I'm confused.
It's 28 pages at the end that speaks specifically about Saudi Arabia's involvement.
That's the document I have.
Would you have the redacted, the unredacted copy of the 28 missing pages from the official report?
No, I do not have that.
I could go to jail if I had that.
Nobody has that.
No.
This is a smokescreen for those pages.
We are going to go and the CIA is going to come out.
What are we going to do?
People are bitching about these pages and they let a couple of congressmen see them and they're going, ah, this is outrageous, but I can't talk about it because it's a secret, which is ruining the government, by the way.
So the CIA comes out with this nonsense, and this makes it sound as...
Here's what this is.
This is a setup for my initial thesis that they're going to let the Middle East blow itself apart with nukes and poison the wells, the oil wells, and we're going to have to start to demonize Saudi Arabia.
And here's the best way to do it.
Play the clip, CIA, Missing Pages.
And the CIA released hundreds of pages of internal investigative findings related to the September 11th attacks.
The report found that before 9-11, the CIA was reluctant to seek authority to assassinate Osama bin Laden.
The section of the report about Saudi Arabia on September 11th was largely redacted.
It's interesting you bring this up.
I have been thinking of late that all of this 28 pages, 28 pages, 28 pages flows right into your thesis, but it's also just public blackmail against Saudi Arabia.
Saying, oh, yeah, we've got these 28 pages.
Oh, we don't want to do this.
We've got 28 pages.
Oh, boy, you better do it.
Oh, you better do what we say.
28 pages.
28 pages.
It's blackmail.
Yeah, it's an element in there of blackmail for sure.
And we can get them to do what we want.
I think at some point we're going...
So what does this mean?
When the 28 pages come out, then we're all going to be so pissed off we're going to go bomb Saudi Arabia.
No.
Oh.
We're not going to bomb Saudi Arabia.
Oh.
But we're going to have less sympathy.
The idea is to get the public symphony away from Saudi Arabia when the Iranians bombed them.
Ah, of course, with their bomb!
Yeah.
Which they will have.
I have the best reporter in the universe.
We all know who that is.
Glenn Greenwald.
No, Matt Lee, of course.
Matt Lee from Associated Press, he always asks the tough questions, speaking truth to power, in the State Department briefings.
The new guy, Jeff, is a wet noodle.
Oh yeah, he's terrible.
He's not funny.
He's not even cute to look at.
I miss Marie!
I miss Marie!
I miss her so much.
So, we're still working on the agreement with Iran, and there's a specific stipulation that has been discussed many times that before June 30th, this deadline coming up in just two short weeks from now,
the Iranian government must allow the IEAA, IEE, LMNOP inspectors Access to the facilities to make sure there are no weapons production facilities or machineries or spindles and dryers and tumblers capable of making nuclear weapons.
This particular stipulation has somehow changed...
In the course of the negotiation, and you hear, maybe you've heard Republicans saying, oh, he's giving Iran everything.
Obama's going to make us, oh, he's going to kill everything.
Giving Iranians, letting them go.
Giving an easy deal.
And this is what this is about.
First clip is a little on the long side, but it's a two-parter.
And Matt is just raking this guy over the coals.
Of course, he has no answer, but it is important for us to understand how this...
How this language is being interpreted differently suddenly and what it really means is Iran will be receiving, will be allowed to have a nuclear bomb and then to your point they will rebelize Saudi Arabia with it.
We've always made clear to the Iranians that they will have to reach agreement with Iran.
The IAEA on providing the necessary access to address the concerns about the possible military dimensions of their program.
And without that agreement, we will not be able to move forward with sanctions relief.
That's been our position throughout these negotiations.
Right, but that suggests that the actual questions don't have to be answered and the concerns resolved in order to get the deal.
Correct?
They only have to agree to, at some point...
Whatever that might be, but at some point after an agreement is reached to deal with this.
Is that correct?
Well, the point is that Iran has to provide the necessary access to the IAEA for them to address these concerns.
Yeah, but does that have to happen to get to a deal, or can that happen after a deal?
Without agreement on the access, we will not have needed to resolve this.
We won't be able to reach...
So if Iran agrees to give access to the sites that the IAEA wants, but hasn't actually given the access by June 30th, That's still okay.
Well, there I think we're getting into details that I will leave in the negotiating room.
That's a great answer.
I will leave that in the negotiating room.
What I'm trying to convey, though, is that our position on the military dimensions issue and the necessity of Iran working with the IAEA, that position remains the same.
It hasn't changed.
Is it correct that there is a difference between Me, if I'm Iran, saying to you...
This is breaking it down to the Dick and Jane language.
Well, this is, I think, a good line of questioning, because these guys are so vague about everything.
Okay.
And the thing falls apart, nobody knows why.
That's right.
So here comes Matt's analogy.
If I'm Iran saying to you, okay, you can have access in 50 years.
And me as Iran saying, okay, come on in now and ask all the questions you want and we'll address your concerns.
There's a difference between those two, correct?
But the distinction you're trying to say is 50 years versus...
Well, I mean, when does Iran have to give the access?
Well, again, those are details that...
Well, they shouldn't be.
All right, so that goes on.
But then Matt hammers it home with this guy in a just perfect way.
All right, in April, the secretary was on PBS NewsHour with Judy Woodruff.
He's talking about Kerry, watermelon head.
And she asked him...
The IAEA said for a long time that it wants Iran to disclose past PMDs.
Iran is increasingly looking like it's not prepared to do this.
Is the U.S. prepared to accept that?
Secretary Kerry, no.
They have to do it.
It will be done.
If there's going to be a deal, it will be done.
Woodruff, because it's not there right now.
Kerry, it will be done.
Woodruff.
So that information will be released before June 30th.
It will be available.
Secretary Kerry, it will be part of a final agreement.
It has to be.
You know, when Matt should get a little clip machine and play clips and say, here's what happened.
Democracy now.
Here's what happened.
Look at this.
Pound sand, Jeff.
Now you're saying that all they have to do is to agree to provide access at some date in the future.
To address them.
That certainly is a walk back.
It's a walk back.
Our position remains as Secretary Kerry outlined it.
As you quoted from the Secretary's...
He said there, in a responsible question, does Iran have to disclose his PMDs?
In other words, do they have to address the concerns or resolve the concerns?
And he said yes before June 30th.
There you go.
So now the strategy is clear.
Now I understand, based on your theory, Iran will not have to show their sights.
They just have to agree to do it within possibly the next 50 years.
They will create a nuclear weapon.
They will mount it as a warhead on a missile.
However, the missile will be pointed at Israel.
And then, and they'll sputter and they'll fall on Saudi Arabia.
Oops.
Well, that's probably not going to be the scenario at all.
The scenario is they will develop a weapon and perfect it and test it.
And then they'll all jump around and go, you know, hooray for us.
We've done this.
And then once they do that, all the other nations will arm.
And they'll be buying a lot of stuff from us.
But we'll be selling stuff left and right to everybody.
And the South built their own nukes, or they'll buy them from Pakistan.
There'll just be a bunch of them in there.
And then everyone just goes nuts.
That is going to be an arms race that will begin.
This is not going to happen overnight.
No.
But it'll begin, and then all of a sudden these guys are going to, one trigger-happy nutcase is going to fire off one of these things.
Which country?
Which country?
Who do you think it'll be?
Well, it could be anybody, but...
ISIS? Well, I don't think we...
No, because there's still the possibility that the ISIS thing can be traced back to us, and that would not be right.
So it won't be ISIS. It would be...
Some other lone wolf.
The Saudis could do it.
The Saudis could blow their own stuff up?
No, they would take a shot at Iran, or they would...
I don't know.
We have to let it play out a little bit more to see who decides to arm themselves to the teeth.
Right.
Have you been following the MERS stuff anymore?
The MERS? Really?
Middle East Respiratory Syndrome in South Korea.
We talked about it on Thursday at the Central Bank.
South Korea has lowered the interest rate because they're afraid people are not going to spend.
The World Health Organization, who I follow religiously, of course, I always read their advisories on Saturday night.
Just skim through them, see what's going on.
And I believe the last time MERS cropped its ugly head up Popped his ugly head up.
We discussed this.
They have a very specific directive for mainly men how not to receive or how to protect yourself against MERS. And I would like to quote from the advisory.
Until more is understood about MERS, COV. What is COV? Oh, the COV. Oh, it's a little different.
Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus, COV. Is that of import?
Yeah, the coronavirus has been around before, and we've actually had an outbreak of it during our show about five years ago.
It was a coronavirus outbreak, and it's one of those things that shows up in dog kennels.
Dogs get corona, if I'm not mistaken.
And then it gets passed to humans, and then it gets really bad.
Right.
So until more is understood about MERS, COV, people with diabetes, renal failure, renal, renal, renal?
Adrenal.
Adrenal.
Adrenal as in kidneys.
Chronic lung disease, immunocompromised persons.
Yes, sir.
Yes.
This is on my list of things not to do.
It's high on my list as well.
So I looked this up.
I'm sure we must have discussed this previously.
No.
I do recall the camel urine.
Why do people do this?
I honestly didn't know that they drank it just routinely, which apparently some cultures do.
I just thought they bathed with it.
Women wash their hair with it.
Okay, that makes sense.
That explains a lot.
Here is the scientific answers to drinking camel's milk and camel's urine.
See, one of the most important things for which camels are raised in their milk, which is efficacious in treating many illnesses, including hepatitis, digestive system in general, various types of cancer, and other diseases.
Camels' urine is...
Is that how I pronounce it?
Efficacious?
Do I pronounce it right?
I think efficacious is a good way to pronounce whatever it is you're trying to pronounce.
Camel's urine is efficacious in the treatment of skin diseases such as ringworm, tinea, abscesses, sores that may appear on the body and hair, and dry and wet ulcers.
Camel's urine brings the secondary benefits of making the hair lustrous and thick and removing dandruff from the scalp.
I'm thinking product.
No agenda shampoo, everybody!
Well, you know, some dandruff things, dandruff is horrible.
Among the uses of camel's urine, many women use it to wash their hair to make it longer and to make it lighter and more lustrous.
Camel's urine is also efficacious in the treatment of swelling of the liver and many other diseases, such as abscesses, sores that appear on the body, and toothache, and for washing the eyes.
Hey!
Hey, camel, come on, pee in my eye, man.
Gotta sigh.
Yeah.
Only on the No Agenda show do you get these details.
Tips!
Not just details.
These are health tips.
I was listening to some right-wing or maybe left-wing.
These are health tips, John.
Make no mistake.
They're radio shows.
And all they did was ridicule the camel urine with a bunch of gags.
None of them.
No, actually, I take it back.
It was PBS. It was the Yuck, Yuck, Don't Tell Me, whatever that show is on Sundays or Saturday mornings.
Yeah, Yuck, Yuck, Don't Tell Me.
Exactly.
That's the name of the show.
It's a comedy show.
Yeah.
And they had these comedians on, and they were making fun of this, but they gave no useful information like you just did.
I commend you.
Thank you.
I'm going to try it.
I think you should.
I know we're going to get the camel pee.
Well, let's try Amazon.
Hold on a second.
Amazon is everything.
Well, that's a possibility.
I wonder if someone's already beat us to the punch with camel pee shampoo.
Yeah, camel pee for sale is what I'm going to look up.
CPS, camel pee shampoo.
Okay, we'll see.
Camel urine.
Let's see what we come up with here on the Amazons.
We have, well, we have camel urine protein kits.
$600?
Wow!
Well, that's good.
No, no, no.
Well, here's islamaqa.info, the benefits of drinking camel urine.
Maybe what I was reading from.
I got a $4 a gallon thing here.
Well, it's cheap.
$4 a gallon.
Well, here we go.
No, it says...
Let me read the headline so we get the...
Let me read this.
This is the truth of...
It's got a bunch of pop-ups and I got to subscribe and...
Four dollars a gallon.
Oil or camel?
Pee-pee, she writes.
Oh, jeez.
Blah, blah, nothing.
I got no big details.
I don't think...
I think we could be the first ones.
Somebody sells it.
Come on.
Well, let's look.
Camel urine shampoo, then.
Let's see if we can find that.
You would think.
But it certainly hasn't been marketed properly.
No, it's not been marketed properly.
And...
They shouldn't use the word urine.
No one's going to drink and shower in urine.
No, I'm talking purely about shampoo for women.
And we can put all kinds of beautiful Middle Eastern women on the secondary and tertiary packaging.
Because they have great hair!
Deny that!
Have you ever seen...
Have you ever seen a beautiful...
I agree.
I'm not arguing about the hair.
Right?
I said right?
You said right, but you said right as a question, not just at the end of a sentence.
Right.
Right.
Oh, man.
Oh, here it is.
Shampoo with Camelion.
Looks like we have a winner.
Hold on.
This is from the Chemist Corner.
I am...
Alamjir, working as a product development chemist in a small-scale company in Middle East, our company wanted to manufacture shampoo with camel urine.
Since recent researches have been found, this is a Middle Eastern guy, found camel urine has excellent properties for dandruff and hair falling control.
Our parent company cater around 4,000 camels and produces fresh camel milk and distributes in the Middle East as well.
We will collect camel urine from them and utilize in our product.
Can anyone enlighten me for camel urine permissible in personal care products?
According to European Union, we need to look at the rules.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, they may have some bigoted rationale for keeping urine out of the products.
Eb, think about Western Europe with all the people from Morocco and Turkey who know of this.
Eb would be happy.
We're sitting on a gold mine.
As usual.
As usual.
Holy goodness, Dennis.
Sitting on a gold mine.
It's the golden gold mine.
That's right.
The golden shower mine.
Okay, there it is.
Okay.
Sorry.
Moral self-licensing back in the news.
Okay.
Ever since the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, which I believe, well, we kind of deconstructed this was not, this was organic, and somehow it had all these beautiful, and no one has come up with something with all the same elements of, including the chain letter, where if you don't send, if you don't send the challenge on and someone doesn't accept the challenge, you will die within 10 days, typically.
Okay.
Now, moral self-licensing, a lot of research has been done about this.
I don't remember what episode it was on, but we discussed this in great detail, which to date I've not heard anyone mention the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge and moral self-licensing in the same breath, except on the best podcast in the universe.
They tried, well, Red Nose Day is kind of moral self-licensing.
We put a red nose on, take a selfie.
Humiliate yourself.
Yeah, and then you don't have to donate.
That's the whole idea.
I've done my bit, and it is in...
What is also true is that...
So you sent me a picture of Nurse Tracy, just to get on top of it.
Yeah.
We're wearing one of those noses, and she's so cute with that nose on.
You know, I should...
I'm thinking about this.
Maybe you should tell me whether it would be okay.
But I think our listeners of yours would love to see this picture.
I'm sure she would love it.
See this picture of her with the red nose on.
Okay.
In the newsletter.
I'll send out a note on the transom, see if we can get permission.
It would be in the newsletter.
I think she has her scrubs on in that photo as well.
I don't think people...
We've got to give people more stuff like this in the newsletter so they stay as subscribers.
Good idea.
Sign up to the newsletter, the homepage of all of our homepages, show notes pages to the newsletter.
You can do that for Thursday, then.
Maybe.
Or Sunday, next Sunday.
I'll do it soon.
So then they came out with, what was the one we were looking at?
Oh, it was the Lyme disease.
You were right, went nowhere, and people were eating a Lyme for Lyme disease.
And this was a Bravo initiative for the Real Housewives of New York City.
One of the women has, oh no, Beverly Hills Foster, what's her name?
David Foster's wife, the Dutch girl, has Lyme disease.
And so, oh, eat a Lyme, don't donate, just eat a Lyme.
New one, brand new.
It doesn't have the element of, you know, you will die and all this.
This is for awareness.
Awareness of or to break the taboo about menstruation.
I was not aware there was a taboo regarding menstruation.
And if you look around, if you do a couple searches, you will see people with tampons.
Selfies with people with tampons.
Hanging off of their ears, hanging out of their mouth.
It's a very disturbing trend.
It's gone nowhere.
It's funny.
Only an idiot would take a selfie like that.
There's a lot of them.
Tampons are also dangerous.
Toxic shock.
Yeah, well they can't do that, yes.
It's been reduced.
Sure.
Alright, enough of that.
Oh, sorry.
Well, you should be.
Here's a little one.
I clipped this for the purposes of the word that was used in here, but there's been a number of reports about people overseas trying to get back, and some guys trying to get out of the country, but they had this passport.
Passport problem, and the word within this report said to me, Adam needs to hear this.
Some late breaking news this evening.
State Department officials say there have been problems with its overseas passport and visa system.
A spokesperson offered no explanation on what caused the glitches, but said they were working urgently to correct the problem.
Okay, so you are the PBS, is this NewsHour?
Yeah.
The PBS NewsHour.
You are talking about the Department of State of the United States of America, and everything in the world has been cyberized.
Everything is digital.
Everything is online.
In the cloud!
They've had issues for two years now with the State Department Oracle Database.
Let's just call it what it is.
They couldn't even mention that in the report.
Let me guess.
Does Oracle ever sponsor the PBS NewsHour, John?
Actually, I've never seen their name.
Let us see if Oracle sponsors PBS NewsHour.
They should put Oracle Underwriters and see what they sponsor.
They probably sponsor something.
They should if they don't.
Oracle Underwriters.
Okay.
A glitch is, in modern day reporting, to say a glitch occurred and therefore people can't travel, no freedom of movement, a constitutional right, it is unacceptable for any news organization to do this.
Unacceptable!
I knew this would set you off.
In fact, when you saw the clip, the clip was named Glitch, and I could hear it in your voice.
Well...
Such a...
I don't know what to say.
Oracle.
You just really dislike the usage.
It's not reporting.
It's taking...
Hey, how come people can't travel anymore?
What's wrong, Department of State?
A glitch.
Okay, great, thanks.
We'll report it tonight.
Bastards.
Well, you're looking that up.
Here's a clip.
This second hack underplayed.
This is very strange.
Apparently, a second hack has taken place.
It's reported, but it's reported in such a way that when you...
This is another NLP thing, I'm sure of it.
When you accept on this report, play this report, then I'll talk about what I'm trying to say here.
Second hack.
Hackers linked to China may have accessed sensitive background information of intelligence and military personnel.
The Associated Press reported today officials believe it involves security clearance forms with possible information about mental illness, drug and alcohol use, past arrests or bankruptcies.
It is the second cybersecurity breach of federal records in just the past week.
The Office of Personnel Management was the target of the hack and has yet to notify people whose data was breached.
I'd like to read two quick articles for you.
Now, we know from a dude named Ben inside the State Department or one of the contractors, I'll be a little vague, that the glitch is an issue with the Oracle database.
Why does PBS NewsHour not specifically save the Oracle database?
Could it be perhaps because they are a member of the sponsors and exhibitors for the PBS TechCon 15?
Is that possible?
Maybe they didn't want to piss off one of their sponsors for PBS TechCon 15, or maybe it is because ITG has deployed an Oracle web center for the public broadcasting service system.
I don't know.
Could be.
I think you've made your point.
But this is the point we commonly make on this show, about when people say, oh, why don't you get advertisers instead of keeps asking for money from the listeners.
This is the reason.
Yes.
You've exemplified the absolute one of many, by the way, reasons that you can't do a show like this with sponsors.
Because you will pull your punches.
And you'll pull them and pull them and pull them.
And pretty soon there's no punches at all.
You're pulling them all.
And then the show is just what's...
You're going to end up with the show that we're going to play as the evergreen show.
Just a bunch of gags.
That is the PBS News Hour of just a bunch of gags.
Gags and glitches from PBS. People you trust.
Well, anyway, the second hack, which this is being played...
Can I play your clip again?
Do you mind?
No, okay.
Hackers linked to China may have accessed sensitive background information of intelligence and military personnel.
The Associated Press reported today officials believe it involves security clearance forms with possible information about mental illness, drug and alcohol use, past arrests or bankruptcies.
It is the second cybersecurity breach of federal records in just the past week.
The Office of Personnel Management was the target of the hack and has yet to notify people whose data was breached.
Do they have information on people's mental illness?
This is the second hack.
This is the story that got my attention.
They didn't preface the story with, the way it should have started, for a second time in one week, The federal government has been hacked by what is believed to be Chinese hackers.
That's the way the story should have started.
Instead, it started like the same report.
You're right.
Good catch.
And everybody played it this way.
So as the report goes on and on, you're listening, you're going, yeah, I thought I heard this a couple days ago, is what you say to yourself.
And then at the very end, they say this is the second time.
And the first one was in December, which they held back.
So this could also be...
This is another one.
We don't know.
We don't know.
Whatever.
Man.
I was going to almost say whatever the case, but I'm not going to.
The point is, is that this is a bigger breach.
This appears to be they got everybody's name, number, addresses, their medical records and everything in between.
Again, talking about how miserable we've become because of the internet and how worsening everything is going to be in the future because of the internet.
And in the meantime, I'm watching...
We need some cyber regulation, John.
We got plenty of cyber regulation.
We need more cyber regulation, more to stop the hacks and glitches, glitches and giggles.
So I'm watching the morning show with Charlie.
And he's on with...
Good little Nora's not on.
She's getting an award.
So they brought on this other woman who Charlie apparently hates.
He hates her.
Because you can just see him bristle every time she speaks.
It's also early in the morning.
He's grumpy already.
Have you seen his Apple watch?
He's wearing that in the morning or only in his own show?
Hail Apple!
Hail Apple!
Pale Apple.
Let's see, did I have a clip?
I had a clip because he had John Chambers on.
I may have to do this in a second.
I have John Chambers' gobbledygook.
Yeah, that's it.
Play John Chambers' gobbledygook.
And this is part, this is the future we have to look forward to with guys like this.
Now, one of the things you want to, with this clip, is that This is gobbledygook from beginning to end.
And Charlie throws in a couple of buzzwords he picked off from his other show that he does.
Velocity of change or some crap.
It means nothing.
And so we're going to listen to a clip of bull crap.
...
over a six-year period in the mid to high teens.
Average income per American person went up in the mid to high teens.
Today's leaders are countries like France, Germany, India, China, Italy, and Great Britain.
So I think we need a national program to get us back on track in terms of leading the second generation of the internet.
It will be five to ten times the implications of the first.
What kind of national program?
Well, Charlie, this will surprise you.
One of the countries that's farthest along is France.
We partner with their president, Alain, with their prime minister, Valls, their secretary of defense, their secretary of the economy, and you're talking about digitizing a country.
You talk about building out smart cities like Nice, or what the best city probably in the world is Barcelona.
You electrical, you put the electricity of the whole country on the internet.
You train 200,000 French men and women in the Internet of Things to make this transition.
You partner on security.
You partner on job creation with MEDEF, which is their equivalent of the American Chamber of Commerce, to create a million jobs.
And you have leaders who are willing to take good business risks.
Can I ask you a question?
Yeah.
So we're going to take, first we put the whole electrical grid on the internet.
Everything.
Don't touch the modem, kids.
And then you have a million new jobs because of internet of things.
Does every one of these million people get an internet of thing to hold on to and they manage that?
I think they put a probe up their butt.
And very candidly, aggressive programs and to partner with an American company to really make those changes occur.
You see the same thing occurring in Germany with Merkel, where it's all about job creation, GDP growth, inclusion of minorities.
But isn't this simply about the pervasiveness of the power of technology and the velocity of change?
Nice!
It really is, Charlie.
As you know, it's like getting phones.
If you only have two phones, the power is four squared.
If you have 500 billion devices connected to the Internet, it will change supply chain.
It will change how things get built.
It will change how your viewers receive their products.
Perhaps a drone driven it to their home or a Walmart where they call in ahead of time and get things set up ahead of time.
It will change every industry.
It will probably allow us to live an extra 10 years.
Completely change healthcare and improve education.
But the key takeaway, Charlie, is you've got to disrupt or be disrupted.
And it's going to occur at a much faster pace than we've seen.
Thank you, John.
All right.
Disrupt or be disrupted.
John Chavers, thanks.
Bend over, John.
Just bend over.
Here it is.
You deserve this one.
Clip of the day.
Disrupt or be disrupted.
That is the key point.
This is why we need to really be thinking outside of the box.
The velocity of change, man.
It's the velocity of change.
They're all eating it up.
They're lapping it up.
Velocity of change, baby.
It's eat or be changed or uprooted your thing on the internet.
Healthcare.
Whoa!
And you live 10 years longer.
Did you catch that?
Yes, thank you.
I'm waiting for my power on the internet.
I've heard of internet over power lines, but completely new and very exciting technology is power over internet.
I love it.
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.
Yeah, on No Agenda.
And I want you to know, if you have two phones, you've got four phones squared.
What was he talking about?
And he jumps through that to 500 billion devices.
Okay.
They said 5 billion, which is already attached, I'm sure.
We're way beyond 5 billion.
No, at the end, when he did the phone.
Oh, he said 500 billion?
Yeah.
This is nuts.
This is nuts.
He said, like, insane.
And everyone, oh, change or be changed.
This is like more of this mind control nonsense.
I just want to shoot myself when I hear this stuff.
This is...
Well, we want to not shoot our supporters, including Carter Blumeier from Windermere, Florida, $123.45.
Sir Boyd of West Oz, Western Australia, Perth to be exact.

We have him down for a birthday call.
Carter, by the way, you got one, too.
And DH Slammer does, too, for $77.77.
Well, it's for his DH Slammer named Bang Bang Sun, Andrew.
Yeah.
Master Andrew.
For his seventh orbit around the sun.
Hmm.
It's an interesting way of putting it.
Juan Rios in Rotterdam, 7654.
Last news that finally got me.
I want to thank you for the best podcast in the universe.
I hope I can continue contributing to keep the show alive.
Grouches at Rotterdam from Juan, and I will again commend you on the newsletter.
And I agree.
Stop the clubbing of baby seals and donate to no agenda.
Genius.
You know, I had to re-look.
I looked at that a couple of times.
I had to stop the clubbing of...
Of baby seals donate to no agenda.
I had to reword it.
I know.
Because of the legality of making it sound as though if you donate to no agenda, seal clubbing will stop.
Even though we know it is true.
Well, probably.
People think twice if you listen to our show.
Wesley Forney in Las Cruces, New Mexico.

Yes, peeps.
Everyone coming in under the $50 level, mainly for anonymity reasons.
But as we even heard on Thursday, 3333 can get you to nighthood.
18 months and you're there.
And we do have one nighting today.
And just thank you all very much.
Oh, we should probably do a jobs karma.
Yes.
Don't get any requests.
No, but, you know...
There might be one in there we didn't read.
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs!
You've got karma.
And as John said, we've got a show coming Thursday.
Please remember us at...

The shill will get that out to you post-haste.
Thank you all very much for keeping the show on the air without having to compromise ourselves like PBS, NewsHour, because Oracle might turn off our database.
Or might not attend TechCon.
TechCon, with emphasis on con.
TechCon, 2015, 2015, TechCon.
PBS sponsors TechCon.
It's a sales job.
It's disgusting what these people do.
What does that have to do with public news, public broadcasting?
TechCon?
Yeah, nothing.
You're only going to have Neil deGrasse Tyson on.
Oh yeah, of course.
Yeah.
I was watching the hearing on the Hill regarding the budget for the Department of Health, which is Health and Human Services.
Now, we have a new secretary since, what's her face, resigned over...
Yeah, we've seen her before.
She's the one, the dog, I wouldn't call her dog face, but she's got that...
What is it like?
I disagree.
She's got that dog tired.
No, her eyes are like on the outside of the down.
She looks like a beaten dog.
That's what she reminds me of.
She looks sad.
She looks like a sad person.
Yeah, she may look sad.
Okay, I'll give you sad, but she doesn't look like a dog face.
What's her name?
She's a bad dog face.
She's pretty.
Her name is Sylvia Matthews Burwell.
I don't recall if we looked into her previously.
We've talked about her before, but not to any extreme.
I would like to consult the Book of Knowledge and tell you a bit about this woman.
Yeah, she does have kind of a sad dog face, doesn't she?
Kind of like, oh well.
She reminds me of a...
I'll take dry food.
She's got an acid hound face.
I'll take dry food.
It's okay.
Anything.
She's born in 65.
Now, she was previously the director of the White House Office of Management and Budget.
She was president of the Walmart Foundation.
She was president of the Global Development Program of the Mel and Belinda Gates Foundation.
While she was there, her program focused on combating world poverty through agricultural development.
Yeah, we know what that means.
Wow.
Financial Services for the Poor, which is cell phone networks.
Chief Operating Officer and Executive Director of the Foundation before its organization 2006.
And she's a smarty.
50 Women to Watch, Wall Street Journal.
So she knows what she's talking about.
And a question came up about...
The prescriptions in the United States of Gitmo Nation of opioids.
Now, these are prescriptions that people pick up and take, not what you get in the hospital.
So what would that be?
Oxy...
Mostly Oxy.
Mostly Oxy.
And that's that category.
How many prescriptions do you think there are on an annual basis for opioids in the United States?
Prescriptions that you take in pills?
Yeah.
I would guess 10 million.
10 million.
And, of course, a lot of people wind up switching to heroin, which is cheaper.
It does the same thing, too.
And it's a little cooler.
You know, you get to do it in the bathrooms, clandestine with the syringe.
It's cool.
It's a creepier.
All the kids are doing it.
In our budget, there is $99 million additional to implement an evidence-based strategy on the problem.
Let's just quickly touch on the problem.
When we think about the problem, as you articulated, in your district across the country, opioid and overdose deaths have exceeded the number of deaths from car accidents or any other accidental death.
And I always like these kinds of statistics because we are mostly afraid of ISIS. ISIS is going to kill us.
Yeah, I think ISIS has killed a couple people.
Yeah, sure, it's beheaded some, so-called beheadings.
But now, how many car accidents are there?
40,000.
In the year 2012, there were 259 million prescriptions for opioids.
Wow.
That's more than...
Well, I was going to say, we're all high.
For opioids.
That's more than one for every adult.
Would you say that again?
How many?
Over 250 million prescriptions in 2012 for opioids.
And you know it's got to be better now.
Three years later.
259 million prescriptions.
Everybody's high.
Everybody's high.
This is fantastic.
No wonder.
And what can we do?
What can we do to combat this?
So that's how many prescriptions there were.
So that's more than the number of adults in our country.
So that was one prescription for every adult in the country in terms of where we are and the magnitude of the problem.
Let's go to the solution space.
Oh, great term.
We've got to remember that.
Solution space?
Space.
Space?
No, she said...
Yeah, you're right.
Solution...
Let's go to the solution space.
Let's hear it again.
To the problem.
Let's go to the solution space.
Oh, this is nice.
Better add that one.
I'm writing it down.
Let's get out of my wheelhouse and go to the solution space and ping me about it after the show.
See, this is working with the Bill and Melinda Gase Foundation is where that comes from.
Oh, yeah.
You can just see Belinda saying it.
Tom, Bill's thinking the solution space should be over here.
It's better for the Feng Shui.
Okay.
That's more than the number of adults in our country, so that was one prescription for every adult in the country in terms of where we are and the magnitude of the problem.
Let's go to the solution space.
We have worked and worked with states and worked with the Congress.
There are a number of bills here up on the Hill right now.
Three basic areas we need to focus.
One is prescribing.
A big part of the problem.
That's interesting.
She said three areas we need to focus.
Did she just miss the word on, or is this another thing, another language thing I'm not understanding, like solution space?
She said one.
No, she said there are three things we need to focus.
Three basic areas we need to focus.
Three basic areas we need to focus.
She doesn't say on.
Is that something I'm missing, or she just forgot the word?
No, I think it's proper.
It's not as bad as hospital and university, the way those are.
Three things we need to focus.
Okay, so we're focusing those things.
We're not focusing on them.
We're focusing...
So we need to make these things...
The way she does it, it sounds fine.
I don't know.
Play it again.
Ann worked with the Congress.
There are a number of bills here up on the hill right now.
Three basic areas we need to focus.
One is prescribing.
A big part of the problem, as you can see from that number, is prescribing.
What we need to do there is we need to provide new prescribing guidelines for pain and pain medication.
That will help the problem.
But also in the prescribing space, states need to do what are called prescription drug monitoring plans.
Sounds like a way to get more into people's hands.
Perscribing space.
Perscribing space.
What is wrong with her?
It's a space.
It's a space.
It's Silicon Valley crap.
You're right, Mill and Belinda Gates.
They're almost in all 50 states, and they're the means by which a physician has the opportunity to look up and see that a controlled substance was already given to you and control it that way.
Same thing with pharmacists.
Here we go.
Now, this is a...
Here's the problem.
See, they want to computerize everything.
I've been kind of following this.
And they want to computerize everything.
So, in fact, my local doctor had to move all their regular records, even though I know they cheated and they didn't do it right.
But they just, you know, scanned it and, eh, fuck it.
And they put it in these computerized records.
So now they can be stalled by Chinese hackers, of course.
Yes.
And then also they're really concerned about this thing where you have...
Now, one thing we have to remember is that at least by today's laws, your medical records belong to you.
Nobody can look at your medical records without your permission.
Which you sign away upon every intake anyway.
Not necessarily.
And you don't have to.
You don't have to.
Most people do.
And most people don't even know that this rule exists.
They think, oh, the doctor, I wonder if I ever get to see my records.
I don't know.
Maybe the doctor will let me see them.
The doctor has to let you see them.
But this is one of the things they want to do.
They've got more than one doctor.
And you might have some ailment that you want to keep to yourself.
Chlamydia.
Or something.
We weren't going to talk about that on the show.
And maybe you have it?
Is that the problem?
No.
Just kidding.
Thanks.
You may have some ailment or you're growing a second head.
Let's use that.
And you have a neighbor who's a doctor who's a good friend of yours.
Hey, neighbor.
I got this other head growing here.
He's got a head growing.
And your neighbor's helping you because he's a doctor.
He can prescribe stuff, but you want to keep it a secret because you don't want it getting out that you have a second head growing.
Yeah, because you're trying to hide it under your jacket and stuff.
And so you go to your regular doctor or the guy you normally see for minor things and, you know, you don't want...
Yeah, he's one of the guys.
It's a chatterbox.
You don't want him talking about it either.
You don't want it out in the open.
You don't want it in public domain.
You don't want Chinese hackers to get a hold of this information.
But that's not the way they see it.
They want everything out there.
So why?
Well, maybe the insurance companies will have a different schedule for you if you have a second hit throwing.
Oh, yes.
Insurance companies would love to get a hold of your medical records so they can say, oh, this guy, his numbers are terrible on this last blood test.
Let's just jack up his rate.
That's what this is.
And it's just a horrible, horrible situation.
And they're trying to make it sound as though everything...
Oh, she's up there.
Oh, maybe we can look it up and see that you've been prescribed OxyContin from another doctor.
So you're getting two doses of the OxyContin.
No, no, no.
You can't do that.
That's not what this is about.
It's about the insurance companies getting this document by making it seem that sharing information is good.
It's not good.
Even more egregious, Is her third solution space, which has been countered vigorously by Bad Chad there in Colorado in the Boulders area.
And here it is.
Already given to you.
And control it that way.
Same thing with pharmacists.
So prescribing is number one.
Number two is the use of naloxone, which is a very important drug that actually stops death when there is overdose.
And making sure that first responders have access.
Okay.
This is the bring-back-to-life injections, like an EpiPen for an overdose of heroin.
It is mainly used for heroin.
In fact, I think she...
I'll have to look it up and see if more people die from heroin overdose or Oxy overdose.
It's the same thing, but it just comes in a different form.
Bad Chad, who works as a fireman, but he's really a medical first responder, he hates this.
Because a large portion of heroin overdosers are on meth.
And so you bring the sucker back to life who's OD'd, and then the effect of the heroin subsides, and then you have the Incredible Hulk in your vehicle who's completely crazed on meth, and the guy's like puking and blooding and trying to kick your ass.
People would rather have these...
I've talked about this before.
It's horrendous.
So he's like, you know, it would be better if he just died.
Go away.
You don't have to come the next time.
He didn't say that.
I'm paraphrasing my own interpretation.
I don't want to get him in trouble.
There's a lot of people that are on meth, and then they take heroin, they go, overdose, come back, and then they're back on meth.
Not good!
That is a very important part of that picture.
Nick Kristof even had a piece about it this week.
Oh, well, then that's good to go.
If Nick Kristof, the CIA shill for the New York Times wrote about it, had a piece on it in the peace space.
Number three is the issue of medicated-assisted treatment combined with behavioral issues and making sure that we do treatment for those who are addicted.
Yeah, none of this is good.
Meanwhile, Flocka is selling hotcakes in Florida.
Seems to be outstripping cocaine.
Why would anybody use this stuff if you just listen to a few of the descriptions of the kind of process you might go through if you take just a milligram too much?
Yeah, you strip down naked, you start humping trees and...
You go nuts!
I mean, it's humorous.
It's great, it's entertaining, I like it.
We could have a reality show.
Flocka.
This week on Flocka.
This Week in Flocka.
Now you're talking.
This Week in Flocka.
This Week in Flocka.
We might have to do that segment.
This Week in Flocka.
Alright, so we got that out of the way.
Yeah, there's one other.
This is from Dvorak Space.
It's the Winkley of Curry Park.
John C. Dvorak filled with all kinds of economic indicators.
And as we know, John, when the economy goes down the tubes, what happens?
The hookers get cheaper and better looking.
Correct, sir.
In Tokyo, right now, the going price, according to the headline, oral sex now just $15 in Tokyo's red light district thanks to bad economy.
Wow.
Nice.
$15.
Best price.
Best price?
That would be in China.
Well, we don't have any hooker reports from China.
Yet.
Well, I got one for you.
This one you'll like.
Good times.
This one here is the UN peacekeepers raping children.
Hello, Haiti!
A draft United Nations report has found UN peacekeepers routinely trade goods for sex with women in countries like Haiti and Liberia who are desperate for food and medication.
The report details nearly 500 claims of sexual exploitation and abuse over several years, a third of them involving children.
Ugh.
Does anyone got a clue about these UN peacekeepers?
First they brought cholera.
Now they're raping kids in Haiti?
Well, that's not entirely true, John.
They're trading goods.
Oh, that's true.
They're not just...
Hey, you want to eat?
Hey, listen, kid.
Listen, kid.
I can get this for 15 bucks in Japan, okay?
In Tokyo.
So listen.
You'll like this bread.
This slice of bread.
This is so horrible.
What did you say?
Hello, Mom is an old joke.
It's a punchline to an old joke.
It's bad.
To review, no, let's not review.
People in my immediate area are saying, oh man, this Red Cross, I had no idea what happened to only six homes.
You know, this is, shut up.
That's nothing.
There's still 100,000 people living in tents.
Oh really?
Yeah.
And the UN blue helmets came in and they gave them cholera.
Oh really?
And now they're raping kids.
Yeah, but how about those six homes from the Red Cross?
Nobody wants to hear this stuff.
No!
These are institutions.
Oh!
The Red Cross, it's an institution.
Highly esteemed.
United Nations peacekeepers.
Highly esteemed institutions with the blue hats.
Yeah, heaven forbid that there are corrupt organizations in any way from the get-go.
Unconscionable.
It's unconscionable.
Unconscionable.
Play this clip.
I think this is a neuro-linguistic thing.
This is the PBS NewsHour misdirected news anomaly about drugs.
On the NewsHour online, with the abuse of prescription painkillers a growing problem, especially among seniors, a new study finds that Medicare drug plans are actually cutting back on coverage of name-brand pills designed to deter abuse.
Read more about the study and the case against generics on our homepage.
Please, don't use generics.
Wow.
How did they go from, oh, there's a horrible problem with the misuse of drugs, and the other, what was the thing, how did that thing go in the other, more truth is, what was the thing that he used for the NLP? The statement he said.
Oh, and what is also true.
And what is also true is, generics suck.
But I think this ties right back into, and I'll read the report.
I didn't know of its existence.
What Dogface said is, man, that's bad.
Dogface?
Dogface, yeah.
Sad, sad, sad dogface.
Sad, sad could be better.
Yeah, because, so the way I interpret what she just said on PBS NewsHour, Is that people are getting shitty drugs.
They have bad drugs.
They're ODing because it's easy access to generics.
We need all this computerized.
That's what it sounds like.
Yeah, so computerized, computerized.
You can't get your drugs from overseas.
I don't have a clip of it.
It is my understanding that venereal diseases, sexually transmitted disease...
Why don't we say venereal diseases anymore?
Why is it all sexually transmitted diseases?
Why don't we say venereal disease anymore?
I think people don't even know what that word means anymore.
There you go.
So, sexually transmitted diseases...
But it's too many syllables.
That...
Is that like a venal sin?
Is that like a badge?
That sexually transmitted disease are rampant in care homes for the elderly due to easy access to Viagra.
Oh, that would make sense.
Right?
Yeah, you can get Viagra.
Yeah.
But you can't get anything else.
If you can, it's expensive.
Keep them happy.
Giant rip-off.
Keep them happy.
Keep them happy.
All right, now I think you'll like this.
The Iron Dome, which we have sold to Israel.
Now, if you look around on...
That internet thing.
Careful because, you know, they're hooking the power up to it.
So be very careful.
Your browser might just fry.
You cross wires.
And we've discussed this, I believe, somewhere around the 600s in episode count.
That there's lots of these demonstrations of...
You see these rockets go up.
You hear the sirens.
And then they kind of look like firecrackers.
Like...
And you don't even see the incoming Hamas rocket.
It's hard to find.
There is a video where it's a security cam video, and then you see a truck drive by, and then you see one of those.
It looks like a model rocket, like an Atlas V, Atlas V model rocket, and it kind of clatters down on the pavement.
It doesn't create a crater or anything, just a smoke bomb.
So the validity, and I don't live there, so I can't, you know, we see pictures of them sticking in the sand, you know what I mean.
But do you really see a lot of huge craters created by these Hamas rockets?
No.
Fine, I'd love to see, please prove me wrong.
So this multi-billion dollar project, of which a significant portion is created by Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, And so as I was looking around for videos of rockets from Hamas, then I see a lot of videos of these missiles going up from the portable, and Rafael Advanced Defense Systems make portable launchers.
And it's kind of cool, some of these videos.
It makes like a grid, because of course they all have contrails as they go up.
And they fly left and right, and then they curve up again.
And then they explode, and apparently they hit a Hamas rocket.
You don't see it.
Now, I'm going to play it.
It's four and a half minutes in length.
I'm not going to play the whole thing.
This is the video from Raphael themselves where they promote this defense system because, of course, we love doing that.
Great video.
Completely animated.
They have a couple of videos.
This one is the sales pitch.
completely animated and is beautiful short and medium range rocket and artillery attacks are a lethal menace They endanger the lives of hundreds of thousands of civilians and inflict heavy damages to property.
They are becoming a strategic threat.
With a wave of its innovative wand, Rafael has developed a first-of-its-kind counter-rocket artillery mortar CRAM system with pinpoint accuracy interceptors against asymmetric threats, Iron Dome.
How cool is this?
This is great.
When he says a wave of his magic wand, you see kind of like a Tony Stark.
I'm imagining Zorro as Robin.
Well, you see a little animated guy.
No, he's more like a Darth Vader with a cape.
Ebony does, and these little yellow streams of starlights go out and shoot the rockets down.
Oh, no, the clips in the show.
Of course, a little more of this before we go to the panel.
Oh, yeah, no, I'm just getting into it.
Like a trailer of a good movie.
And the voiceover is fantastic.
Death and destruction can be avoided.
In an unprecedented short time, Rafael has met the challenge, offering an innovative CRAM system which has successfully passed a series of challenging tests against a wide variety of threats, proving its outstanding effectiveness.
The system includes a Battle Management and Control Unit, BMC. The BMC, Battle Management and Control Unit.
We do acronyms like nobody else's business.
Detection and tracking radar.
And launchers, each equipped with 20 lethal interceptors.
Lethal, lethal interceptors.
The system is mobile, deployment is rapid, and maintenance is simple and user-friendly.
User-friendly.
Okay, I'll stop here.
But it's just another three minutes of this crap.
And it's all animated.
Now, the Israeli homeland defense...
Well, the Israeli...
Israel's obviously being used as the testing ground for the sales pitch.
Yes.
And they're going to sell these things once the Iranians get their nuke or they demonstrate they can do one and they'll blow it up somewhere.
And they're going, oh my god!
And everyone else, arms to the teeth, which is what McCain and Lindsey Graham want to see because they've got some angle in there.
We don't know what it is specifically.
Although we can go dig it out of the bowels of the congressional basement if we go, where one of our buddies goes, one of our producers.
Yeah.
And they're going to, arm to the teeth, and this Raphael operation is going to sell the Iron Dome to Saudi Arabia.
We're going to have good relations with Iran, so they can buy one.
And then they're going to, then Lebanon's going to need one, and then...
So, I'm going to go back to what you said right at the beginning of that.
That the Israeli Homeland Defense will, it's the IHLS, I think it is, or Israeli Homeland Defense Services, whatever.
They're going to help sell it now.
Yeah.
So this video is good, but you need some kind of proof to be in the pudding.
You need to see the thing working for reals.
That's how we sell all our jets and everything else.
It's not all theory.
Right.
So they have a video.
It is from their YouTube account, from the Israeli Homeland Defense Department Systems Incorporated.
And you're not going to believe.
You're going to be so unbelieving of what I'm going to belabor you here that I will have to probably send you the link.
You will not believe it.
Then they have a video.
They also have this animated video on their YouTube channel and on their website.
And then they have a video, and it's a nighttime video, of this Iron Dome, the Rafael Advanced Defense Systems Iron Dome mobile rocket launcher.
We're under attack from incoming Hamas rockets.
And you see them all going up.
Now...
There are many videos of this.
Again, I was looking at everything.
And when they intercept the magical rocket that I can't see...
It could just be my eyes.
It could be resolution of the video.
It doesn't matter.
When they intercept them, it's almost like a gunshot.
When you hear a gunshot on television, it's like...
Or like this.
Silencer.
Silencer.
That's not what a silencer really sounds like, but okay.
So I guess for the last portion of the video where they're showing this nighttime sequence, somebody wasn't happy with the soundtrack to the missiles bringing the Hamas rockets down.
So what do you do, John?
If you and I are producing this, what do you do?
You sweetened it.
I don't know if you could hear this.
These are...
It's a shotgun shot.
It's a sound effect.
Pew pew!
Pew pew!
I think it was the exact same sound effects I was using in the burndown of the Club 33.
It's a sound effect!
This is insane!
Pew, pew!
Pew, pew!
It's the same one over and over again.
No difference in distance, in calm or nothing.
Yeah, it's like from the exact same spot.
They don't even vary the gain.
More balance than nothing.
Hey!
What are you trying to query the deal?
Yeah, you're screwing up our sales pitch, dude.
Funny.
Well, this is going to continue.
Money's to be made.
And then they'll blow each other out.
We don't care.
Ultimately, it's all about money.
Yeah, it's just be rebelized at the end and boom, more money to be made rebuilding.
I mean, it's a bonanza.
Pew, pew.
Pew, pew.
It'd be like Kuwait.
Like somebody always pointed out, years and years and years ago, somebody pointed out to me, if you want to see a modern city built by Americans, you just go look in Google and look at the, just do overhead shots of, you know, these cities like, I don't know, Dubai, Baghdad, anything, and then look at Kuwait.
Kuwait is like perfectly lined up.
It's done by engineers.
It's a perfect example of what kind of work we do.
I've been to Kuwait City.
It's nice.
Yeah, it's nice.
That's the way it's going to be everywhere.
Indeed.
We're going to rebuild it.
All right, let me see if we have anything under Russia.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, man, I should have posted this picture for you.
Darn it.
In the Netherlands, excuse me, who of course, even though the government, even though most of the GDP of the Netherlands is based on importing, storing, and exporting Russian oil and gas.
I'm going to send this article to you, John.
Hold on a second.
I'm going to send you this link through the transom.
You know, obviously we have to hate the Russians.
Just got to hate the Russians.
Screw Russia.
Screw Putin.
The Russians suck.
Yeah, until they give us Snowden back.
I mean, it's no coincidence that all this began when Snowden moved there.
So this has been integrated into Dutch education.
But the Russians are a-holes?
A-holes and evil and just bad, bad, bad.
So they have the textbook, Themes in Social Studies.
This is a preparatory middle-level vocational education, which is a very well-defined school track in the Netherlands.
It's a high school, but it's vocational-based.
And in this workbook, there's a piece that says, the workbook is updated on an annual basis and contains many current and diverse sources with assignments.
The workbook has indeed been updated.
And they have this picture, I'm going to send this link to you right now, of Russia to teach people.
Here's the question.
This is, I think, in the workbook, so there's questions in it.
The question is, what is in Dutch, I'm translating on the fly, what is Russia doing and what is Europe doing in this picture?
I just put that link on the transom.
I just Skyped it to you.
Now, describe what you're seeing in this workbook for high school children.
Okay, hang on.
So, you see a map?
Oh, brother!
Are you kidding me?
No!
Alright, I'll describe it.
They've taken the map of Europe and made it into a giant cartoon.
And they have got...
The EU is in green and there's no borders or anything.
And then Russia is over to the right in red.
But they've put a face, a little cartoon face on Europe and he's got a helping hand out.
And he looks kind of sad.
He looks kind of sad.
He kind of looks like that woman that we were talking about earlier.
Kind of sad and droopy.
And then...
Russia is red.
It's red.
It's red and it's got teeth and claws, bear claws.
And it's got a...
I don't know what that brown thing is, but it's got a handout like it's going to grab it.
It's got an angry birds eyeball thing.
It's the stupidest thing imaginable.
And what is it doing?
It is chomping on Ukraine.
And Ukraine has a little hand trying to reach out to Europa.
And you see below that, you see another hand, which I don't know if that hand is...
Okay, that hand is not Russia's hand, it's Ukraine's hand trying to reach out.
And then there's a hand below trying to grab...
Which I think is...
I think that's feeding Ukraine to Russia.
Oh, you think Europe is...
That's the Europe hand.
That's the left hand.
It's the southern, eastern part of Europe.
The States.
Maybe it is feeding it.
Yeah.
It's stupid.
It's propaganda of the highest order.
No.
The lowest order.
Okay.
Point made.
Can't believe this.
This is the dangerous stuff.
This is why I'm so happy we have parents who...
Well, in fact, I received a note, which that'll be my last thing for today.
I wanted to read this note.
It was really beautiful.
Oh, maybe this is a donation that came in.
We'll read this one on Thursday's show.
His donation came in after the cutoff.
A teacher.
A teacher.
Well, I'll tell you.
Read the note.
We can just put the donations separate.
Ryan Thompson.
This donation should complete my quest in Idaho, so it'll be nighting him on Thursday.
But I've been listening since my college days multiple years ago.
Now I'm a social studies teacher.
I'm able to hit my students in the mouth regularly, metaphorically, of course.
You guys have really helped me articulate to my students the critical and skeptical thinking they should have when thinking about the news or about the historical topics we cover in class.
Last year, I was the teacher who gave all my students No Agenda CDs when we talked about pipelines in the Middle East and the effect they have on events in the region.
As a teacher, I get a lot of emails and letters for different organizations that want me to buy their products for my classroom.
One such group called My Eye.
I thought you might be interested in them.
They're called the Negative Population Growth, mpg.org.
They have a number of free educational resources, including reading, posters, and assignments that are all geared towards teaching kids about the evils of having children, immigration, foreign aid to baby-producing third-world countries, and, of course, global warming.
I want those posters.
When I got their letter, I of course requested every free product they have.
One such gem is a poster of the world that gives projected population stats for the next 100 years and is intended to scare kids into thinking all is lost and only government intervention can solve the problem.
Thank you guys for everything you do this year.
I'm taking on new classes, which include civics and modern U.S. history.
I'm looking forward to incorporating more No Agenda-style learning into these classes and distributing more No Agenda CDs to students.
You know?
Nice.
We save children!
We do.
I'm proud of it.
Just to keep one guy from putting one of those posters up, then most teachers, okay, posters up.
That's nice.
It fills that spot.
Yeah.
My dreary walls.
My goodness.
I would love to get those posters.
Of course we'll get the posters, obviously.
Let's get those posters.
We don't need them from him.
We'll get them directly from the operation.
I like what you're doing.
I'm all in on what you're doing.
I think you're doing wonderful work.
Can I get some posters, please?
Yeah, I have a podcast.
I have a podcast.
I could use them in the studio because people would be very interested in seeing them.
No, John, you have to frame it differently.
You don't want to get suspicious.
I'm in the podcast space.
I'm in the podcast space.
This would be very useful to me.
That's not even a lie.
I'm in the podcast space.
I'm in the podcast space and this would be very useful to me.
Not a lie.
You want to wrap this up, bad boy?
I got a couple more things I want to get out of the way.
Okay, let's do it.
First of all, let's do...
So I tried to...
I heard about this.
It says Ellen Tay.
You're all over the map today with your...
This clip, I heard on Democracy and I said, well, this must be a very interesting person.
He's dead.
It's an obituary for some woman who busted the CIA's chops about something.
They passed a bunch of laws so she couldn't do it anymore.
And she died.
And I said, well, I've got to find out about her.
So I look up her book that she supposedly did about Garrison in New Orleans.
It's not on Amazon.
Looked up her wiki page.
She doesn't have one.
Okay, play this.
And I just gave up.
And the documentary filmmaker, publisher, journalist and activist Ellen Ray has died at the age of 75.
Ellen Ray was a co-publisher of the magazine Covert Action Information Bulletin, which exposed CIA covert actions around the world, publishing the names of hundreds of CIA agents.
As a result, the law changed, making it illegal.
As head of Sheridan Square Press, she published the memoir of New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison, which became the basis of Oliver Stone's Academy Award-winning movie, JFK.
Huh.
Never heard of her.
No.
She's now lost to history.
Well, I'm sorry to see her go.
Yeah, well, I'm sure that her newsletter was hilarious.
No doubt.
You said a couple things you wanted.
I got one other one.
Let's do this one.
This is the IDNK. I did not know this, that this was going on in Germany, but apparently it didn't get anywhere.
In Germany, prosecutors closed their investigation into the alleged tapping of Chancellor Angela Merkel's cell phone by the U.S. National Security Agency.
The probe was open last year after NSA leaker Edward Snowden said he had documents proving her phone was bugged.
Prosecutors said they were unable to find evidence that would stand up in court.
Gee.
Well, it's on record now.
Yeah, that's the way it goes.
Too bad.
We win.
Snowden.
Snowden.
You did it again.
No, I'm handing it to you.
I waited.
You didn't do it.
But I do.
I was waiting for you to say Snowden.
You said Snowden.
Because I was waiting.
You didn't say it.
Then I said it.
Oh, Snowden.
Yeah.
I guess.
I'm not sure what you were trying for me to do.
Let's play one last thing.
Ready?
Yeah.
Okay.
This is...
This is a very interesting commercial.
This is a drug commercial.
You don't play them as much as you're used to, but this is the latest one for Botox to be used for people who have migraines.
But it's not for just anybody who has migraines.
This was like on the nightly news or something.
It's for people who have 15 migraines a month that last at least four hours per migraine.
Who is watching television that has this problem?
Living with chronic migraine feels like each day is a game of chance.
I wanted to put the odds in my favor, so my doctor told me about Botox, an FDA-approved treatment that significantly reduces headache days for adults with chronic migraine, 15 or more headache days a month, each lasting four hours or more.
It's proven to actually prevent headache days, and it's injected by my doctor once every three months.
The effects of Botox may spread hours to weeks after injection, causing serious symptoms.
Alert your doctor right away, as difficulty swallowing, speaking, breathing, eye problems, or muscle weakness can be a sign of a life-threatening condition.
Side effects may include allergic reactions, neck and injection site pain, fatigue and headache.
Don't take Botox if you have a skin infection.
Tell your doctor about your medical history, muscle or nerve conditions, and medications including botulinum toxins, as these may increase the risk of serious side effects.
Put the odds on your side.
Visit BotoxChronicMigraine.com to learn how to save on your treatment.
Talk to a headache specialist today about Botox.
Alright, a couple things.
One, if you're taking Botox for your migraine and the side effect is headache, we've got a problem, Houston.
I would think.
This is a problem.
Two, This is obvious what this is.
Everybody's using Botox.
This is now to include Botox in the insurance package.
That's why this is now all of a sudden...
Oh, prove you have a migraine.
Well, my head hurts.
Oh, here's some Botox.
I'll prescribe it for you.
$5 copay.
Nailed it.
$5 copay.
Now, here's the interesting thing.
Meanwhile, it's for your wrinkles in your forehead.
Well, I find it coincidental that...
If you have migraines that last four hours or more.
15 days out of the month.
This coincides with the Viagra, which can give you an erection for four hours.
I'm thinking there's a lot of women going, oh man, there's that thing again.
Oh, I have a four-hour migraine.
I have a migraine.
You've had a migraine every day this week.
Pack that thing up.
What am I going to do with this thing?
Well, anyway, this is great for my ex-wife.
She'll enjoy that very much.
Very amusing.
All righty.
What do we have to do?
Anything coming up tonight?
Anything...
We missed the Chonies two weeks ago.
I don't just decide not to go.
I will be meeting John Perkins who's in town.
Really?
Cool!
Nice.
Because he's coming out with the second edition of the...
Economic Hitman?
Economic Hitman, and I'm wondering what's going on.
Well...
Yeah.
Well, we know he's probably been compromised and...
That's what I have to assume based on an interview that Horowitz and I did with him some time ago.
Well good!
I don't know, I get to meet him, I'll have him autograph my hand.
Your hand?
I don't know, I'll bring something.
Have him autograph your breast.
I think I only have the audio copy.
All right.
That's what I'll do.
Everybody, thank you very much for tuning in, for listening to the best podcast in the universe.
Coming to you from FEMA Region 6 here in the capital of the drone, Star State of the Morning.
I'm Adam Curry.
And from northern Silicon Valley, where the hippos are on the loose, I'm John C. Dvorak.
We'll be back on Thursday right here on No Agenda.
Don't eat me, Hillary Clinton.
It's almost too delicious to believe, my friend.
Here in New York, the culture-jamming activist group The Yes Men protested Shell's plans to drill for oil in the Arctic by handing out ancient shaved ice from the remnants of...
From the remnants of the last icebergs of the North Pole.
Fist bump!
Amen, fist bump.
Do you hear Miles ridiculing my sass?
What's sass?
Sigh plus ass equals sass.
And after three kids, my badge is like the Holland Tunnel.
Sometimes I walk around and it sounds like somebody's stirring mac and cheese.
Adios, mofo.
We're all gonna die!
Yes, the beaches are back open!
Woohoo!
The best podcast ever you've ever seen!
