2:08
podcasting the universe and
unlike

everywhere else in media no
2:14
retrospectives here no best
funny news
2:17
stories of the year here no
counting
2:20
down to the new year year no

2:22
deconstruction for whatever
there was
2:24
out there seems like
everybody's on
2:26
vacation me we as two
podcasters we
2:30
weather the storm to bring you
something
2:33
I actually have a couple of
2:36
retrospective clips wait before
you
2:39
before you go to the lid our
way before
2:41
you go anywhere I'm gonna
lecture you a
2:42
little more it was a interesting
2:46
surprising to see you on Twitter
2:48
last Sunday yeah a lot of
people notice
2:51
this how wasn't it I had three
goals
2:55
get my Twitter followers up
okay plug
2:59
the hell out of the no agenda
show yes
3:01
what you did I did thank you
very much
3:04
yep and a pathway to promoting
some
3:08
upcoming books
3:15
Wow okay yeah I watched most of
the show
3:20
I do have two comments if you're
3:23
interested just two two
comments from an
3:26
executive one executive
producer to
3:27
another yeah what one that in
general I
3:32
think that it is time for
people on
3:37
podcasts who deal with
technology to
3:40
keep referring to the audience
as normal
3:43
people regular people who quote
dot dot
3:46
dot won't understand won't get
won't
3:48
care won't know you did not I'm
not
3:51
saying you I'm saying in
general I'm so
3:54
tired of hearing regular people
they
3:56
wish that was very common theme
on that
3:59
show it sit next your hair what
about it
4:03
well because of the lighting
it's you
4:05
know it's looks normal its
things out a
4:07
little bit as you get older the
lighting
4:10
is so harsh they're twit that
it I mean
4:12
it you can I don't have the
time I look
4:14
bald see more like you know
like hearing
4:16
in chemo dream it's ridiculous
there is
4:24
makeup for this which I was
going to
4:26
recommend
4:27
yeah they don't use makeup
under no but
4:29
you should have your own little
kit bro
4:31
if you're gonna do that anymore
you need
4:32
to look good yeah
4:37
nothing personal just the
general
4:40
television observation percent
of the
4:41
people that listen to to it do
it on
4:43
audio so I'm not too concerned
all right
4:45
no but I understand I agree
with you on
4:47
both these points okay then I
have one
4:49
household question was that you
in the
4:52
newsletter
4:54
we're so you sent out a
newsletter a
4:56
very good run down about
maddest leading
4:59
which is why people should
subscribe to
5:01
this product it's fantastic
it's a bonus
5:04
just like the show notes
there's all
5:05
kinds of things you get outside
of the
5:07
No Agenda Show podcast itself
you had
5:09
funny computer ads many of
which are
5:11
just lovely to look at there's
none with
5:14
me in there oh because the guy
with the
5:16
two chicks little bit could
have been no
5:21
okay all right that was just
that was
5:24
too funny he's doing gonna bite
him just
5:29
well just consider just the
times man
5:32
the things that you could get
away with
5:33
back in the day yeah versus now
is
5:36
anyone doing it to newsletter
missed out
5:37
on the kind of a rundown of
just part
5:41
one I think I have about three
of these
5:43
I can do of all these old
computer ads
5:45
from the 70s it's very
interesting
5:47
they're great it's a lot of
celebrities
5:49
yeah Dom DeLuise was in there
Bill Cosby
5:54
what I'd like is you see the
Apple
5:56
everyone's advertising about
their you
5:59
know 10 megabyte drive you know
they're
6:03
they're 4800 baud modem and
Apple back
6:07
then alright I was like oh you
will be
6:09
able to solve your business
problems you
6:11
will be able to do this and
nothing
6:13
about what was really inside
the box
6:14
which was quite interesting it
was fun
6:16
yeah they were selling benefits
not
6:18
features yeah yeah and and
markedly
6:20
different from they actually
had a real
6:22
advertising agency that knew
that rule
6:24
right was that Leo Burnett back
then or
6:27
would most I think was shot
with this
6:28
day I think it was yeah those
guys were
6:31
good
6:32
anyway I'm so hard you set us
all up
6:35
that there's no news because no
one's
6:37
working so we know there is
actually
6:41
just you know not being
discussed on the
6:43
news this there's events
happened there
6:45
was it but there was some stuff
to
6:46
discuss on the news mostly how
you know
6:49
here Trump goes to Iraq I think
I have
6:53
one clip of it yeah Trump goes
to Iraq
6:55
and under whole news stories
about how
6:57
he went after the date that
Bush went or
7:01
after the day Obama went three
when
7:04
you're overseas three three
months after
7:06
he became president what is it
what kind
7:08
of a comparison is this tell
you he's
7:12
late he's late
7:14
he didn't go until we until we
shamed
7:16
him when Reagan go first
overseas to the
7:19
wars oh wait a minute we didn't
have a
7:21
bunch of war zones then so now
they've
7:23
normalized war zones yes yes of
course
7:28
unbelievable
7:31
clip you said hey do i I don't
know you
7:33
said you might have a clip I'm
I'm
7:35
looking I don't see one I'll
probably
7:37
don't have one in this you
wanna well
7:39
let you want to talk about
matters just
7:40
for a second yes sure I'm good
I thought
7:43
your run down was quite good
that you
7:44
did they put in the newsletter
I had a
7:48
call with pachán ik
7:51
you know he's all about the
military
7:53
intelligence yeah and he had a
couple of
7:58
interesting things to say I'm
gonna pick
8:01
up my notes here you got to
write down
8:02
this stuff with the chin it
calls okay
8:05
so he says I well it's very sad
to
8:07
generals are out Kelly and
mattis
8:08
because yeah we really counted
on them
8:10
Kelly hung in as long as he
could
8:12
because he just could not
handle what
8:15
bachina calls Woody Woodpecker
which is
8:19
how he categorized his Trump
okay
8:22
and he gave me this concept I
don't know
8:25
if it's a psychological or
mental
8:27
concept of idealization and
realization
8:30
as a personality well I guess
you'd say
8:34
trait and what he means by that
and I
8:37
recognize this immediately when
he said
8:38
it his Trump does the following
when he
8:41
meets somebody who we know
obviously
8:42
wants or even if he doesn't oh
I'll give
8:46
an example I can't believe it
it's so
8:50
great to have you here I love
what
8:52
you've done with your with your
8:53
computing books and I've loved
what you
8:55
do with your columns odd this
is look at
8:57
it look at this guy is he the
best ever
8:58
is he that best ever or what
within a
9:01
couple down the road two weeks
when you
9:03
do something he doesn't like
it's
9:04
exactly the opposite Wow why do
I even
9:06
hire that guy what an idiot why
did is
9:09
like a classic Silicon Valley
CEO what's
9:12
interesting because I said it
sounds
9:13
like every New York Jew I've
worked with
9:15
well he's a Jew and he said
yeah that's
9:19
that's exactly it it said it's
New York
9:22
attitude but it's he calls it
the
9:25
idealization and realization
personality
9:28
trait yeah yeah so yeah that
makes
9:32
nothing but since I like it but
it is
9:34
difficult he he believes that
the new
9:38
guy the chief of staff what's
his name
9:41
Shanahan no no no that's that's
the
9:43
Department of Defense chief of
staff
9:45
guy's name is unmemorable yeah
that guy
9:48
pathetic says he will not last
through
9:51
2020 this is impossible
9:53
no one can deal with that now
the new
9:57
guy Shanahan he likes him a lot
for a
9:59
number of reasons
10:01
he says this guy well actually
you know
10:04
mattis mattis also hung in as
long as he
10:07
could and then he just gave up
it was
10:09
just just like and he didn't
have to
10:11
really do you know he had a
couple more
10:13
months left but yeah well
according to
10:16
some reports which I put I
hinted at in
10:18
the in the rundown that I did
uh Pompeo
10:23
told maddest that he was that
Trump was
10:25
gonna fire him
10:26
that's when mattis write the
note mm-hmm
10:29
and quit right and nobody so
and the
10:33
media picks it up on as the
media likes
10:35
to twist it in their way which
is Oh
10:37
Trump pull out of Syria and of
course
10:40
that's important to us the
media cuz
10:42
we're all war mongers and think
we
10:43
should be in Syria of all
places with
10:46
our troops who cares about I
mean it's
10:48
honest doesn't hurt me right so
Trump
10:50
pulls out of Syria thus matters
quit and
10:52
disgust
10:53
yeah well that of course is the
story
10:55
and it looks good you can read
it that
10:58
way and it may be exactly that
but but
11:01
genic is very happy with
Shanahan coming
11:04
in and he believes Trump
understands
11:06
this he is MIT Boeing cyber guy
he
11:11
understands a lot more than an
old dog
11:14
like mattis who understands
kinetic
11:16
warfare force structures going
out
11:19
blowing shit up tanks troops
etc yeah
11:22
that is all shifting and
Shanahan will
11:25
shift this big responsibility
and maybe
11:29
focus I'd be interested on the
11:32
geospatial intelligence agency
because
11:35
it's all about I quote cyber
satellites
11:38
and missiles
11:38
that's what warfare is cyber
satellites
11:41
and missiles everything else is
pretty
11:43
much unimportant and of course
the the
11:45
Russia supersonic missile comes
into
11:47
play here Sonny
11:48
the hypersonics is we the u.s.
appears
11:51
to be not able to deter that
until well
11:55
it's all kind of like its demo
where as
11:57
far as I can tell right now I
do a
11:59
report you can play okay what
you got
12:01
hypersonic hypersonic supersonic
12:04
President Vladimir Putin
testing a new
12:07
intercontinental missile and
President
12:09
Donald Trump's metal from a
Moscow
12:12
command center Putin watched the
12:14
hypersonic missile
12:15
leave its launch tube and
according to
12:17
the Russians strike a target
3000 and
12:19
700 miles away
12:21
declaring it invulnerable to
intercept
12:24
russia says it can be armed
with a
12:25
nuclear weapon and travel up to
20 times
12:28
the speed of sound without
confirming
12:31
the results of today's test the
Pentagon
12:33
has acknowledged that America is
12:35
vulnerable we don't have any
defense
12:37
that could deny the employment
of such a
12:40
weapon against us adding
urgency to the
12:42
Pentagon's own plan to develop
an
12:45
American version the
hypersonics is a is
12:48
a game-changing technology so
important
12:51
for us to for us to embrace and
how far
12:53
are we from actually shielding
that
12:55
technology ourselves so I think
we'll
12:57
put a hypersonic system in the
field
12:59
before 2023 Russia first
started their
13:03
hypersonic missile and March
with an
13:05
animation showing warheads
flying
13:07
towards Florida both
offensively and
13:10
defensively the United States
military
13:13
is working very hard on
hypersonics we
13:16
are in an arms race his new
missile is a
13:20
perfect New Year's gift for the
country
13:22
Hans Nichols NBC News the
Pentagon
13:25
here's the thing about all that
first of
13:28
all after supersonic we now have
13:29
hypersonic you know that
whatever Trump
13:31
comes up with it'll be warp
speed but
13:33
guarantee you warp speed is how
fast we
13:36
fly space force think about
these
13:39
missiles is if you can control
the cyber
13:41
side of it if you can get into
systems
13:43
then you can then you don't
need to be
13:46
able to shoot the thing out of
the sky
13:47
because it's going so fast so
this is
13:49
it's really moving towards a
whole new
13:51
battlefield I think the whole
thing is
13:54
bogus
13:54
first of all hypersonic is
nothing new I
13:57
remember and I'll give you the
story
13:59
then I first heard of and I
think they
14:03
experimented with a hypersonic
missile
14:04
the air force I believe in the
80s and
14:07
the reason I say that is
because when I
14:10
wrote the book hyper growth
with Adam
14:14
Osborne that's where I got the
term from
14:17
uh I used hyper growth was by
coined it
14:21
based on I saw a hypersonic
missile test
14:24
in the 80s and I said that's a
great
14:27
name for
14:28
something super fast and so I
took the
14:31
term so that so this is
something
14:33
there's something basically
bogus about
14:37
this whole thing it looks like
some sort
14:38
of an excuse to spend more
money it
14:41
wouldn't surprise it wouldn't
surprise
14:43
me and I think we've discussed
this
14:47
before if Putin and Trump are
just you
14:48
know talking to each other all
right man
14:50
do that demo that you have of
the of
14:53
that hypersonic thing so we can
both
14:54
start building some more and do
a little
14:56
more get some more money out of
our of
14:58
our government coffers
15:00
it would make nothing but sense
and the
15:02
other thing is when they showed
that
15:04
hypersonic launch if you looked
at it
15:06
they actually put the camera on
the
15:08
missile yeah I have seen missile
15:10
launches from our silos you
can't get
15:13
that missile is out of range of
the
15:15
camera immediately gotta be
yeah goes
15:18
like a rocket right but so
there's some
15:23
piece worried about this and it
sounds
15:25
to me like us I hate to keep
saying yeah
15:28
yeah but there's a scam here
15:32
oh we're way behind it with
wait a
15:34
minute stop here we got the
seven six
15:37
seven hundred billion dollar
budget how
15:39
are we two or three years
behind the
15:41
Russians don't look at the
audit please
15:45
whatever you're doing now going
back to
15:47
Shanahan he is an MBA and he
might and
15:50
he did work for Boeing and it
was part
15:52
of the 787 and some of these
other major
15:54
projects now he might be able
to do the
15:57
audit he's the kind of guy that
would be
16:00
able to do it or at least clean
up the
16:02
books and I don't think
anything the
16:03
Pentagon cannot get through an
audit at
16:05
all so maybe just clean it up
and kind
16:08
of bring in some accountability
speaking
16:10
of which I was reading one of
those
16:13
government IT blogs that I'd
like to
16:16
like to scan and the there's a
there's a
16:20
procurement system that is out
for
16:22
tender
16:25
oh yeah I get one of these
things do the
16:29
generals the delicious
mile-long of
16:31
stuff well the general service
now this
16:33
is a little different the
General
16:35
Services Administration is in
the
16:37
process of creating an
acquisition
16:39
platform as mandated by
Congress from
16:43
the 2018 National Defense
Authorization
16:46
Act so this this stuff is you
know bits
16:49
done on PDFs it's done on you
know Word
16:51
docs whatever the hell it was
SharePoint
16:54
I don't know what they're using
but
16:56
there was this mandate in the
NDAA for
16:59
an e-commerce acquisition guess
who's
17:01
been doing all the work on this
17:03
ecommerce acquisition platform
you tell
17:07
me Amazon oh yeah Amazon's get
their
17:10
fingers and everything no
wonder they're
17:12
they're in virgin this is why
now it
17:14
starts to become clear what's
going on
17:16
Amazon is the government we're
with the
17:21
CIA cloud services now with all
a
17:23
cuisine
17:26
procurement platform yeah we
should be
17:30
of just a rewrite of the Amazon
code
17:32
that the shoppers use they just
take
17:34
just white label there you go
plug in
17:37
your products seems pretty good
17:39
they already advised on the
portal
17:41
getting you just on the RFP
they advise
17:43
once it's a shoo-in for these
guys well
17:46
if you advise on the RFP yeah
you your
17:48
adviser for yourself your
pointing the
17:50
finger at you that's how our
guts how
17:52
our process works that's the
beauty of
17:55
government contracts I did want
to if
17:59
he's becoming you look more
like an evil
18:01
bond character yeah
18:04
just on the pull outs the pull
outs of
18:09
Afghanistan and Syria I do have
a bit of
18:11
a retrospective if you just
want to
18:13
listen to the news from 2011
the world
18:17
is exactly flip-flopped please
hear how
18:21
as we know now is Trump's
pulling out of
18:24
Syria Afghanistan are screwing
our
18:26
partners it's good Isis it's
gonna be
18:28
horrible though more war need
more war
18:32
need more stuff more missiles
hypersonic
18:34
it was exactly the opposite
with the two
18:37
parties in 2011 the US
president has
18:40
been accused of ignoring the
advice of
18:42
his top military commanders on
troop
18:44
withdrawals from Afghanistan
Barack
18:46
Obama announced that 33,000
troops will
18:49
be home by September next year
military
18:51
chiefs say that plan is riskier
and more
18:54
aggressive than the one they
recommended
18:56
Republicans believe Barack
Obama's
18:58
Afghanistan decision has more
to do with
19:00
politics than military thinking
were
19:02
there any of the Joint Chiefs
or any of
19:07
the commanders on the ground
that
19:09
recommended this particular
action that
19:13
the president is taking I'm not
going to
19:15
talk about individual
recommendations
19:17
the chairman of the Joint
Chiefs did
19:20
acknowledge that withdrawing
10,000 u.s.
19:22
troops this year wasn't his
choice and
19:25
it was more aggressive and it
has more
19:27
risk than you know I was
originally
19:29
prepared to then I then I
recommended of
19:33
course and Afghanistan
commander General
19:35
David Petraeus told a Senate
hearing it
19:38
wasn't his either
19:39
the ultimate decision was a more
19:43
aggressive formulation if you
will in
19:46
terms of the timeline then what
we had
19:50
recommended the US military
leaders
19:52
sides their job to salute and
execute
19:55
the president's orders any
Republicans
19:57
are worried the coalition
allies won't
19:59
hang around France and Germany
plan to
20:02
follow the u.s. lead I predict
you now
20:04
that our allies will accelerate
their
20:08
reductions and presence in
Afghanistan
20:12
for the most part our allies the
20:13
Australians others
20:14
are saying we're in it we're
committed
20:17
the president was at Fort Drum
thanking
20:20
Afghanistan veterans our job is
not
20:23
finished
20:23
many Democrats wanted Barack
Obama to go
20:26
much further and are still
hoping the
20:28
drawdown will only accelerate
my my oh
20:33
my oh my drawdown even faster I
guess so
20:42
they want us to put people back
in and
20:46
those Democrats and then in
2014 the
20:49
President Obama at the time
came into
20:52
the route to the Rose Garden
20:53
bringing America's longest war
to an end
20:57
President Obama called
reporters to the
20:59
White House Rose Garden to lay
out his
21:01
plan for pulling out the 32,000
US
21:04
troops now left in Afghanistan
America's
21:07
combat mission will be over by
the end
21:10
of this year starting next year
I just
21:12
noticed in the first report
they talked
21:14
about 33,000 magic number we're
always
21:17
looking forward in reports and
then in
21:19
this one we've lost the
thousands now
21:22
left in Afghanistan or was it
it was 30
21:24
2002 the 33
21:26
I don't know has any
significance to lay
21:29
out his plan for pulling out
the 32,000
21:31
US troops now left in
Afghanistan
21:34
America's combat mission will
be over by
21:37
the end of this year o garden
next year
21:39
Afghans will be fully
responsible for
21:41
securing their American
personnel will
21:46
be in an advisory role we will
no longer
21:48
patrol Afghan cities or towns
mountains
21:51
or valleys that is a task for
the Afghan
21:55
people Afghan forces have been
in the
21:58
lead against insurgents since
last year
22:00
and the 9800 US troops will
stay to
22:03
continue training them and to
support
22:06
counterterrorism operations and
of
22:08
course that pull out also
didn't happen
22:12
so that's what it was when um
Obama was
22:16
president and everyone was on
board and
22:18
I think we were all so like
yeah good
22:20
get him out drawdown stupid
stop were
22:25
staunch anti-war
22:28
is bogus Wars death for the
poppies
22:34
there's a pop yes mostly yeah
but it
22:37
feels a bit like there maybe
well we'll
22:41
get to that in a moment there's
war
22:43
there's war starting everywhere
well
22:46
this I'm not quite sure why
this was
22:48
thrown out there and why the
script has
22:51
been replicated but it has
people can be
22:54
seen lighting things a fire
this has
22:56
been taking place all
throughout this
22:57
week there have been numerous
clashes
22:59
and numerous people who have
been
23:01
arrested and they are revolting
against
23:04
the poverty in the country and
this all
23:06
started after a journalist has
said that
23:08
he was going to light himself
on fire he
23:10
posted a video that it'll bring
up here
23:12
where he talked about how he
had been
23:14
trying to find a good job for
the last
23:17
eight years without any luck
23:19
this is in Tunisia where the
Arab Spring
23:22
started in this video you can
actually
23:24
see him holding a bottle of
gasoline he
23:27
says he's going to light
himself on fire
23:29
and he's calling on the
unemployed to
23:32
take to the streets to revolt
we later
23:34
see in another video that he is
lit on
23:37
fire and he ended up dying it's
unclear
23:39
whether he lit that match
himself or if
23:42
someone else did but what we
have seen
23:44
are these mass protests in
Tunisia as a
23:47
result and some people say that
this is
23:48
actually reminiscent of what we
saw in
23:51
2010 remember this man the
Tunisian
23:53
street vendor who set himself
on fire to
23:56
protest against police
harassment and
23:58
that led to revolts not only in
his
24:01
country but of course all
throughout the
24:03
Middle East well in the 8 years
since
24:05
that happened in the 8 years
since the
24:07
Arab Spring began this
journalist says
24:09
that nothing has changed in his
country
24:12
and in his words that
everything is lies
24:16
and that is why he is called
his fellow
24:18
Tunisians to take to the
streets to
24:20
revolt against the economic
conditions
24:23
in his country now this was a
report
24:25
from AFP French international
outfit
24:29
right and they have lots of
what he
24:33
called interests in the region
yes a
24:36
French was a French outpost
actually
24:39
exactly but they have interests
in the
24:41
region in the region as well
and so now
24:44
we have a dirt and out-of-work
24:45
journalist who hasn't been able
to
24:47
work for what he's a eight
years but he
24:49
says yeah we don't know who he
is we
24:52
don't know who he worked for we
don't
24:53
know if someone lit the match
or if he
24:55
did it I don't even know if
it's him in
24:57
the video but someone's trying
to get
24:59
something started yes this
looks like a
25:03
pro a provocation and what's
interesting
25:05
about this and this is of
course you're
25:07
right as a fractal of the
earlier events
25:09
which started the Arab Spring
is that
25:14
Muslims aren't the ones their
self em'ly
25:16
latest it's the Buddhist that
do that
25:21
yes fractal so we find the
whole thing
25:26
suspicious and interesting
25:30
well this there's stuff going
on in
25:32
Africa
25:34
yeah first of all the Congo was
supposed
25:37
to have their election today
yeah I have
25:40
a clip oh good I do - what do
you have I
25:42
have a of P again because
they're all
25:44
over this no I think it's yes I
see PBS
25:49
behind me I wanna listen also
today
25:51
Congo delayed elections in
three cities
25:53
where a deadly Ebola outbreak is
25:55
centered the cities are
considered
25:57
opposition strongholds and the
delay
25:59
will affect some 1 million
voters they
26:02
will now wait until March to
cast
26:04
ballots the rest of the country
votes on
26:06
Sunday that's their entire
report yes
26:10
that's PBS it's only gonna give
you that
26:13
is your PBS news that's all
that didn't
26:15
even mention what's what's
going on now
26:19
this isn't this is incredible
well might
26:22
be I got the main stream to
review yes
26:26
the real story yeah to review
I've been
26:28
following the election that
we've been
26:30
following the Congo in general
whenever
26:32
Ebola shows up that's usually
when
26:34
troops follow we haven't seen
that
26:35
happen yet but in this
particular region
26:38
is where very important
minerals are
26:41
mined for everyone's cell phone
there's
26:43
a less than most oil in all of
Africa
26:45
apparently comes from the Congo
26:48
there's always strife there the
Chinese
26:51
are running Rambo's oil
actually comes
26:53
from Nigeria I thought that
they have
26:56
the most oil it may not all
come from
26:58
there but I think they have the
most
26:59
it's no very it's not as each
research
27:02
gone but definitely own the
minerals
27:06
they own the minerals gold
diamonds and
27:08
there's you know 50 million
around
27:11
killing each other it's all
about power
27:12
to get these minerals as
cheaply as
27:14
possible whoever leads the
country will
27:16
be the king and whoever funds
the the
27:19
king rules and where they had
the voting
27:22
machines which I want to bring
in the
27:24
population staunchly against it
call
27:27
them you know the lying what
they call
27:30
them the maybe in this report
they see
27:33
them as not real that's not the
way to
27:35
go rap and of course you don't
want
27:37
touchscreens anywhere there's
Ebola but
27:39
there's also that the reports
from our
27:40
on France press about the
election
27:42
doesn't even mention Ebola if
is if I
27:44
can recall stall
27:45
the Democratic Republic of
Congo where
27:47
opposition leaders have slammed
the
27:49
postponement elections country
had been
27:51
due to vote this Sunday in a
poll it was
27:53
hoped would end the two year
old crisis
27:55
over the future of President
Joseph
27:57
Kabila
27:57
on Thursday the Aussies
Electoral
28:00
Commission ordered the poll be
put back
28:01
a week in order to replace
voting
28:04
equipment lost in a warehouse
fire
28:06
Alliance of the parties backing
28:08
opposition wait for as that any
further
28:11
delay will not be accepted yeah
we know
28:14
very well that this delay has
nothing to
28:16
do with the reasons put forward
by the
28:18
Electoral Commission to give us
excuse
28:20
after excuse that one day
they'll run
28:22
out of excuses to their excuses
Felice
28:27
GC Katie told the supporters to
remain
28:29
calm in the next few days but
the 30th
28:31
of December is redline
according to the
28:34
u DPS a red line that shall not
be
28:36
crossed otherwise the militants
would
28:38
take the matter in their own
hands
28:40
without waiting for the party's
28:42
instruction according to the
28:43
secretary-general meanwhile on
Friday
28:47
Joseph Allen Gong Co the
president of
28:49
the government Commission's
charged with
28:51
monitoring the elections
preparation
28:53
urged the authorities to accept
the UN
28:56
help to deploy voting materials
across
29:00
the country so that the
election can be
29:02
held on the 30th of December
meanwhile
29:05
several people have been killed
after a
29:06
plane chartered by DRC's
National
29:09
Electoral Commission crash near
Kinshasa
29:11
the Antonov 26 operated by the
company
29:14
go mare was a returning to the
capital
29:16
of delivering election results
forms the
29:19
central city of her Chi Kappa
have been
29:21
at varying accounts the number
of people
29:23
on board and the number of
casualties
29:26
while PBS omits the fact that
two-thirds
29:30
of the voting machines burned
in a fire
29:32
and that people from the
Election
29:35
Committee died in the fiery
plane crash
29:37
than they had election forms on
board
29:40
Wow looks like they'll just
vote early
29:44
unbelievable yes really man
that is BS
29:48
nowadays weather I don't know
what what
29:51
completely happened but they've
turned
29:53
into a very
29:55
I think it's like not even in
on par
29:58
with NBC News it's well if they
were NBC
30:01
at least would be something to
laugh at
30:03
this is not even funny
30:04
now this this may have
something to do
30:06
with China this is what I keep
referring
30:08
to but I really can't find you
know
30:11
anything that points to them
directly or
30:13
who the key I mean we're
obviously a
30:15
player in in this fight I don't
know who
30:17
were with or what side were on
but China
30:19
is now moving into the next
phase of
30:22
their no Road three belt
strategy and
30:26
because Kenya could not repay a
loan the
30:31
China infrastructure loan the
Chinese
30:33
had given to them they now have
taken
30:35
possession of Kenya's main port
economic
30:39
hitman bigger this is huge oh
they just
30:43
do it differently yeah no no
bloodshed
30:47
yeah I think people will know
this but
30:51
in general hey just give them
given
30:54
offer they can't refuse that
they
30:55
actually can't even fulfill and
then
30:59
take over whatever you need
31:02
you know they took over the
deport yeah
31:04
it just came out just came out
over yeah
31:07
well well that should be
interesting the
31:12
geopolitics in China or China
and the
31:14
reference I was just
fascinating yeah so
31:18
anyway so maybe now is the time
to send
31:20
in troops for you know the
Ebola issue
31:23
yes unless unless it's going
the way we
31:27
want it I mean it would have to
be
31:30
not not for Kenya but I mean
for for the
31:34
for the Congo for DRC it
probably is
31:37
going the way we want it to go
31:41
I don't know what the point
that put the
31:42
troops abroad just to serve
some other
31:44
function I don't know all right
well at
31:48
least we're on it
31:50
you know if somebody is I'm
like abs PVS
31:53
been unbelievable then we have
Wesley
31:59
Clark showing up in the news
again maybe
32:03
if you're gonna run for
president again
32:05
well that's an interesting
point that's
32:08
a reminder about Wesley Clark
he told
32:11
this story a few years after
9/11 about
32:14
something that happened to him
in the
32:15
Pentagon two weeks after 9/11
where he
32:19
received the following briefing
we call
32:21
it the West Clark 7 so I came
back to
32:25
see him a few weeks later and
by that
32:28
time we were bombing in
Afghanistan I
32:29
said are we still going to war
with Iraq
32:31
and he said oh it's worse than
that
32:33
he said he reached over on his
desk he
32:35
picked up a piece of paper he
said I
32:36
just he said I just got this
down from
32:38
upstairs meeting the secretary
defense
32:40
office today and he said this
is a memo
32:42
that describes how we're gonna
take out
32:44
seven countries in five years
starting
32:48
with Iraq and then Syria
Lebanon Libya
32:50
Somalia Sudan and finishing off
Iran so
32:54
that was the plan that plan is
probably
32:56
still on the books but here he
is
32:59
speaking of the pullout which
of course
33:01
he would be staunchly against
although
33:03
Syria wasn't on his list he
understands
33:05
how the neocon war machine
works and
33:07
he's a part of it general let
me start
33:09
with you CNN reporting that the
abrupt
33:12
decision to withdraw from Syria
that
33:14
started this cascading events
occurred
33:16
after the president spoke with
turkish
33:18
President Erdogan and
essentially said
33:20
take it it's yours we're out
Turkey is
33:23
part of the NATO coalition that
you once
33:25
led how concerned are you about
this
33:28
process or lack thereof and the
33:30
essential giving seating of
influence to
33:33
Turkey and presumably other
actors in
33:35
erdowan orbit
33:37
well I'm very concerned because
it
33:39
doesn't seem to be any strategic
33:40
rationale for the decision and
if
33:42
there's no strategic rationale
for the
33:44
decision you have to ask why
was the
33:46
decision made I can tell you
that people
33:48
around the world are asking
this and
33:50
some of our friends and allies
in the
33:52
Middle East are asking well did
did
33:54
order one bail the president
was there
33:56
payoff or something what is it
why would
33:59
a guy make a decision like this
because
34:01
all the
34:02
was did air21 blackmail the
president
34:05
was there a payoff the president
34:08
recommendations were against it
and it
34:11
looked like that all the facts
are
34:13
against it - were not quite
finished
34:14
with Isis we're not taking a
lot of
34:16
casualties over there the Kurds
have
34:18
been reliable allies why do
this huge
34:23
casualties the American
taxpayer right
34:25
now and this is the the matter
that's of
34:29
most concern or should be most
concerned
34:31
- all says what does this say
about the
34:33
foreign policy of the United
States that
34:35
were not reliable that we make
strategic
34:38
decisions based on no strategic
logic so
34:41
what kind of person is driving
the helm
34:44
that's the issue but this is a
political
34:47
issue not a military issue Jim
mattis
34:50
took a political post in this
34:52
administration his job was to
support
34:54
the president the United States
when all
34:56
the chips are down he couldn't
do it he
34:58
left trumps now replaced him
all that is
35:01
in the court is with the way it
should
35:02
be the odd man what you're
completely I
35:11
wasn't quite sure exactly I
mean is this
35:13
the truth wants to come out or
let's
35:15
just listen to that last bit
again I
35:16
found it incomprehensible not a
military
35:20
issue Jim mattis took a
political post
35:23
in this administration his job
was to
35:25
support the president the
United States
35:27
when all the chips are down he
couldn't
35:29
do it he left trumps now
replaced him
35:31
all that is in the court is
with the way
35:34
it should be interesting that
is the
35:37
debt must be a truth should
come out
35:39
thing not quite quite sure it's
a this
35:42
is okay what he what he may be
saying is
35:45
mattis is out and that's the
way it
35:46
should be we needed him out of
there
35:49
for something else or we needed
the
35:50
other guy in the Madison's not
getting
35:53
any work anywhere I mean I put
it very
35:55
made it very clear in the
newsletter and
35:57
I'll reiterate this one of the
points he
35:59
was a board member and made a
big point
36:02
of being aboard the board of
theranos
36:06
the perhaps the biggest scam in
Silicon
36:10
Valley history and he's on the
board of
36:12
directors this guy and that's
because
36:15
and I'm I I kind of accuse him
of being
36:18
a sucker for the blondie that
ran the
36:21
place it was a I batter you
know hyena
36:24
with the big debate you know I
have a
36:26
deep voice what that means I'm
sexy and
36:28
so and on top of it you know
you have to
36:32
remember this guy is a bachelor
he he
36:35
proposed to one woman ever and
she at
36:38
the day of the wedding or just
before
36:40
the way she called it off what
I didn't
36:42
know this about matters nine so
he's got
36:48
a Napoleonic complex and he is
not a guy
36:53
that you just assume that not
have him
36:55
even working in the position of
36:58
authority like that because he's
37:00
unstable yes he got dumped but
he got
37:03
dumped on his wedding he got
run around
37:06
by this by Elizabeth Holmes and
made a
37:10
fool out of himself he should
have never
37:12
gotten a position of any sort
after that
37:14
experience right what's she
doing there
37:16
I didn't get couldn't see
through this
37:18
scam that he was dealing with
well the
37:20
problem with fairness or
theranos is
37:22
that a lot of guys like that
gut scammed
37:25
including : Powell he was in
that group
37:27
as well on the board yeah guys
who were
37:29
susceptible to some blondie you
know but
37:32
bleached blonde let's make that
clear uh
37:35
who likes to manipulate men hey
37:39
middle-aged men is very
susceptible to
37:42
this if they're you know any
bit you
37:45
know thinking of the feeling
their oats
37:46
as it were let's see who else
let me
37:48
just look at this board again
37:51
see who was on let's see who
else is uh
37:53
is unfit yeah I believe anyone
who was
37:57
on that board is unfit to have a
37:59
position of authority
38:00
Reilly missed the mark of the
devil
38:03
you're out Reilly BEC tell
38:06
of the Bechtel group economic
hitmen
38:09
Bechtel David Boies
38:13
the lawyer boys Schiller and
Flexner
38:16
yeah old older guy William fooj
former
38:20
director CDC Richard kovachev
ik Wells
38:26
Fargo another crook
38:28
Fabrizio garlic rook what so
you can't
38:32
call him a crook no okay I
can't call
38:34
him a crook I was running a crap
38:37
organization yes yes okay thank
you
38:40
I want to get sued Fabrizio
bonanni
38:43
Amgen well that make sense and
then
38:46
mattis so he was really that
the board
38:48
is much smaller than I thought
at least
38:50
that was the 2016 board yeah it
may have
38:52
been bigger earlier because I
was quite
38:55
sure that : Powell was on there
38:59
I think he has some association
you know
39:02
Tim Draper did he was in love
with her
39:04
and was was he still thinks she
can make
39:08
a comeback what a character
fantastic
39:18
yeah meanwhile The Washington
Post is
39:21
doing their job to make Trump
look bad
39:23
in this a headline in Syria
Assad's
39:26
government is doubling down on
39:27
executions of political
prisoners course
39:32
atrocities we need another ah
we need
39:34
another Doctors Without Borders
chemical
39:38
attack well the last time there
was the
39:41
doctors a border thing I think
it was
39:42
our troops that blew one of
their
39:44
hospitals to smithereens
remember that
39:46
yep the big of the big
39:50
for one of the big planes it
has a lot
39:52
of guns on one side kept
circling it and
39:55
pounding I have the old big
plane gun
39:57
I've begun playing with a big
play with
40:00
guns gunship also know that
shit Turkey
40:05
also now making all kinds of
moves
40:07
against Greece making noise
this is so
40:09
much going when it comes to
this you
40:11
don't even know how much this is
40:12
accurate though of what of all
these
40:15
news reports well none of this
do it
40:18
took is doing what with Greece
well I'll
40:21
tell you what it's all well
here's the
40:23
issue the issue is and I think
as always
40:27
it's all about the energy in the
40:29
pipeline so we know that Israel
wants
40:30
their pipelines to come up
through
40:32
Greece there any of their
Leviathan
40:35
filled turkey is in bed with
Russia for
40:38
all of this and they want their
Turks
40:41
stream to be the you know the
thing that
40:43
brings everything in that they
want to
40:45
stop all at all costs and South
they're
40:47
talking about you know airspace
who
40:52
owned Cyprus all this crap it's
it's the
40:55
same stuff they always do but
they're
40:57
making noise and they'll
probably
40:58
position ships in the region or
blow up
41:01
a pipeline meanwhile Poland I
know if we
41:03
talked about it Poland isn't
now signed
41:05
their third agreement with the
u.s.
41:07
liquid natural liquefied
natural gas to
41:12
afford their country instead of
taking
41:15
gas from Russia through Ukraine
41:18
I don't know what the you know
I the
41:20
poles do anything to get better
visa
41:23
deal with us I guess it's gotta
tell you
41:25
that's the one thing that Trump
really I
41:27
don't understand why he won't
let let
41:29
the polls be a part of esta you
can just
41:34
need you just visit the US with
a you
41:36
know with a quick online form he
41:38
promised it yeah but somehow
they didn't
41:42
pushback from someone a lot of
people
41:44
says the Israelis that would be
Bachan X
41:47
conclusion as well
41:51
but hey he's trumps done enough
favors
41:56
for the Israelis he can do this
favor
41:57
for the poles yeah who's gonna
who's
42:00
gonna tell are they gonna say
Raley's
42:02
gonna turn on us if that deal
is done
42:05
come on no I don't think so so
what I
42:08
have seen in the in the
mainstream by
42:12
the way how was your Christmas
42:13
was it good did you guys all
together
42:15
were you up there where's
people down
42:16
there what you do know
everybody's
42:18
scattered around so our
Christmas is
42:19
coming in about five days yes
the
42:21
Dvorak's always celebrating on a
42:23
different date for every
occasion you
42:26
guys kill me well you have the
tree up
42:33
and everything still when y'all
get
42:35
together yeah not great
interesting
42:40
the news is and I think it's a
mistake
42:43
but you know they believe it's
the way
42:45
to go for ratings they're now
all
42:48
pivoting after our end of year
42:50
retrospectives all pivoting to
2020
42:53
that's all about who's gonna be
running
42:55
for 2020 they're just going to
can they
42:56
believe that political news and
I'm
42:59
talking about the three big
mainstream
43:01
n5m news channels MSNBC CNN and
Fox
43:04
that's all they seem to be able
to talk
43:06
about three bees and a camel
toe that's
43:09
right everybody that's who's
running
43:11
Bernie Biden Beto and Kamala
Harris
43:17
yeah but those are three that's
four of
43:20
them there's a in fact of
course we have
43:23
dozens of people running on
both sides
43:26
because people think they can
take out
43:28
Trump so we have losers like
Kasich
43:32
going on about how he's gonna
run
43:35
because he doesn't think this
43:36
president's doing well and the
public
43:37
wants him huh I mean we did
these guys
43:39
I've never seen so many
delusional
43:41
people the only person that
really if
43:44
we're gonna go ahead you know
this is
43:45
the it's the well if Trump can
win
43:48
anyone can win I can win
realize that
43:50
Trump has been a high-profile
character
43:53
that can win he gets votes
because he's
43:55
so high-profile the only person
like
43:57
that is Oprah right and they're
43:59
different and people say well
Oprah can
44:01
not there's another one Tom
Hanks
44:05
Tom Hanks's well I think he
could do it
44:08
I think he could do it well
here's the
44:09
problem with Oprah she would we
know of
44:13
trump wanting to run for
president says
44:15
the 80s he's always talked
about it and
44:18
interestingly with the same
agenda about
44:21
China it's fit has not wavered
when it
44:24
comes to doesn't waver much
Oprah was
44:26
never shown any interest in it
at all so
44:29
she'd be forced into it so
she's not
44:30
gonna do it Tom Hanks it's a
lark he
44:34
just want to go through the
grind of it
44:35
especially a Hollywood
character with
44:37
all the still luggage does
Hollywood
44:39
people have it be miserable
right but
44:44
what I'm saying is the media
has the
44:46
media has already chosen on the
Democrat
44:50
side they've chosen the yes he
had to do
44:53
they had to take a stamp
because it's
44:55
part of the strategy to block
Hillary
44:58
yeah and and every story after
you're
45:01
right every story I've seen is
followed
45:03
by 70% of Democrats don't want
Hillary
45:06
anywhere near the word run
45:09
yeah which is a lie that's a lie
45:13
people who are screaming in the
streets
45:15
after Trump won and we're
gathered at
45:18
Javits and were in tears
afterwards they
45:20
don't hate Hillary now
45:23
right
45:26
Rand Paul is paying there did
their dare
45:28
just this is the skin not gonna
use it
45:31
again this is a fraud Hillary is
45:35
probably the leading candidate
if you
45:37
ask me
45:40
interesting she well she has
yet to
45:42
raise her ugly head look how
long it
45:45
took the first time because if
she
45:46
doesn't raise her ugly head for
a long
45:49
time she gets to gather a lot
of money
45:51
and that money goes in a
different
45:52
account so if she doesn't win
anything
45:54
that money still is hers yeah I
agree
45:57
though I have not seen I've not
seen the
45:59
candidate that would would make
it work
46:01
Biden four years ago I mean
it's all
46:06
about appearance and and I'll
say it
46:08
again that's how we elect our
presidents
46:10
we buy our soap it's all the
same way
46:13
it's gotta look pretty make you
feel
46:14
nice and white out give you a
nice smile
46:19
well if you remember the guy
the CIA xgi
46:23
a guy who wrote that behind the
scenes
46:25
book in the White House during
the
46:28
waning years of the Obama
administration
46:31
slammed Biden for being wrong
on every
46:34
single topic it hasn't got a
prayer
46:37
doesn't really matter it
doesn't really
46:39
matter the president doesn't
have to be
46:40
right especially if you're
running it's
46:42
you know your sales guy
46:46
to sales guy in a poppy or
mommy yeah
46:49
you have to sale sell past the
media's
46:51
there's a real problem Rand
Paul I think
46:54
is gonna make another run okay
I think
46:56
he just does that for to keep
his
46:58
profile i well but he's changed
47:00
something he's now he is honing
his
47:04
tweeting skills I'm not kidding
this
47:08
that you should look at his
Twitter feed
47:10
look at he's you know he's
standing on a
47:12
beach next to you know a bunch
of sticks
47:14
looks like a bonfire but I
guess you
47:16
could say it looks like a
teepee and his
47:18
tweet is I came to say happy
Festivus to
47:20
my friend Elizabeth Warren but
I can't
47:22
find her I mean this he's
trolling 'he's
47:26
going after Warren hey Street
dub that's
47:29
a direct hit let's see what was
the
47:33
other one
47:34
speaking of criminal justice
reform I
47:36
have to give Jared Kushner
credit he was
47:38
great on this and I'm glad I
got to know
47:40
him because before that I was a
bit
47:42
suspicious he was the kid from
The Omen
47:43
movie all grown up that sounds
like it's
47:49
professionally written yet a
writer he
47:51
has a writer oh yeah
47:55
so he's and he was making fun
of Ted
47:58
Cruz posting memes of Cruz with
a crazy
48:01
beard and yeah that's I think
he's
48:04
testing his Twitter skills he
knows
48:05
where that is where the 2020
election
48:08
will be fought of course or
whatever
48:10
Twitter feeds with her Twitter
that's
48:12
what that's that's where you
win yeah
48:15
rules are changed and he at
least seems
48:18
to understand that I don't
think he has
48:20
it in him I've always liked him
kind of
48:23
well he's just the public will
never go
48:26
for it we've been sold the
American pose
48:29
been sold on a bill of war
here's
48:31
Gillibrand on the the Van Jones
show on
48:35
CNN she wants to run yo she
does but she
48:38
kind of cuts herself out in the
in an
48:40
odd way about what's right in
the world
48:43
I do believe we should fight
for each
48:44
other's kids as hard as my own
I do
48:46
believe that we what is the
issue with
48:51
saying I do believe what's the
48:53
difference between you saying I
do
48:54
believe and saying I believe it
would be
48:57
someone would say that because
they have
49:00
the feeling idea or perhaps
proof that
49:02
someone thinks you don't
believe that
49:07
but there's no evidence of that
she's
49:08
just saying I do believe I did
Gauls but
49:12
I see a lot of professional
athletes
49:14
through many of which many of
whom are
49:17
borderline if not illiterate
49:20
despite their college degrees
it's
49:23
rarely most of them quit cause
because
49:26
they go to the pros and make
all these
49:27
millions you know unlike the
suckers are
49:29
stay in school kids there you
go there's
49:34
Uncle John telling you like it
is so
49:37
they did their border line your
litter
49:39
and they say I do believe well
so does
49:44
Jill Bryan I have a vision for
America
49:46
about what's right in the world
I do
49:48
believe we should fight for
each other's
49:49
kids as hard as we fight for
our own I
49:51
do believe that we should
restore the
49:53
golden rule and actually care
about one
49:55
another and I do believe no
matter what
49:56
block you grew up on you should
have a
49:59
chance this is a big thing this
this
50:01
block you grow up on or zip
code you
50:03
grow up in then I hear this
everywhere
50:06
this pork this pork it you'll
hear the
50:08
music
50:09
this poor child if only were
born in
50:11
one-zip code over would have
had a very
50:13
different life as if the
physical place
50:16
my sister was born in Uganda a
January
50:20
1st 1967
50:24
so you tell me you know that's
a bad zip
50:27
code that's not the good zip
code to
50:30
grow it but to grow up in for
sure so
50:32
anyway there's a lot of that
you should
50:34
have a chance to live out your
god-given
50:35
potential and that means good
schools
50:37
that are public schools you
know jet
50:38
free college things that really
make
50:40
opportunity possible so debt
free
50:42
college another zinger I miss
that the
50:45
first time oh that is that's a
good way
50:47
of putting it that's a great
campaign
50:50
line I like I believe in
debt-free
50:53
college because you kind of
just yeah
50:55
yeah yeah
50:56
I believe in debt-free homes I
believe
51:00
in a debt-free car free college
things
51:02
that really make opportunity
possible so
51:04
I have that vision and so the
question
51:06
is do I do that from a
presidential
51:08
platform or do I do it from the
US
51:09
Senate and that is the question
I will
51:11
decide very soon we got a poll
we should
51:13
put up with a did knows in that
poll
51:15
that the top three were I think
Biden
51:19
Bernie and bado threebees and
all white
51:24
guys in a party as diverse as
ours
51:27
it doesn't worry you to see the
top
51:29
three being white guys yes I
aspire for
51:38
our country to recognize the
beauty of
51:40
our diversity in some point in
the
51:42
future and I hope someday we
have a
51:44
woman president I love the fact
that
51:47
Barack Obama was our president
for eight
51:48
years I hope more people of
color not
51:50
only aspire and win the
presidency
51:52
because that's what makes
America so
51:54
extraordinary that where we are
all of
51:55
that we are everything and I
think a
51:58
more inclusive America is a
stronger
51:59
America what is interesting to
me is
52:02
here's Van Jones on CNN the
actual
52:06
organization who has pre chosen
the
52:09
three B's it's not like there's
no one
52:11
else running to all we hear
about is the
52:14
three B's in the camel toe
that's all we
52:15
hear about three B's instead of
saying
52:19
oh it's the party oh yeah see
and then
52:22
maybe you should include some
other
52:23
people on your list to give
them some
52:25
exposure
52:26
yes it is I agree WAP Oh Times
CNN CNN's
52:31
just I mean they they went all
in very
52:33
quickly
52:35
and they seem to have dropped
common
52:37
hair years before give me a
break I'm
52:41
telling even the mh17 flight
that was
52:45
lost after a year CNN finally
just had
52:48
to give up I mean this too much
you can
52:52
have too much Pro of one type of
52:54
programming the public will not
either
52:56
look we've been in television a
long
52:57
time John if you switch and
every every
53:00
channel you go to is election
this
53:03
election that it's going to get
old
53:05
ratings will slip
53:09
yeah
53:11
I agree but maybe it's all just
a deal
53:14
making stage for the for the
ads hey
53:19
look we've been really good to
you guys
53:20
we've we've you know we've done
the
53:22
three B's and you know you
might be
53:25
right it's almost like the
network news
53:26
people that people I've said
this before
53:28
we've talked about on the show
everyone
53:31
but all those those network
news it's
53:33
only old people who watch that
in those
53:36
news things it's a dying
audience
53:38
although nobody takes into
account that
53:41
new people are getting old but
that's
53:43
okay it's a dying audience is
terrible
53:45
no the network news folk
53:49
appeal to the oldsters because
they have
53:52
ads for them specifically lots
of drug
53:56
ads aches and pains ads you
know the
54:00
incontinence ads and all the
stuff that
54:03
old people need so it's not
like they're
54:07
doing it there they're screwing
up and
54:09
what's interesting is that the
54:11
derivative of the audience
they're
54:13
talking to and when I what I
mean by
54:15
that is little clips that show
up on
54:17
social media that's kind of a
bonus you
54:21
know they know that they can't
with a
54:23
straight face say to any ad
agency your
54:25
media buyer yeah we got 18 to
24 we're
54:28
right here in the pocket they
can't say
54:29
it cuz no one will believe them
it's not
54:31
true they can say look we got
to 55 plus
54:34
and that's a big market for
pharma and
54:37
the derivative is just what is
posted
54:39
online and circulates around
these the
54:42
people who are looking at this
are not
54:43
watching those channels they're
just
54:45
taking the snippets and
throwing it into
54:47
the outrage machine and feeding
back and
54:50
just you know it's part of the
big loop
54:52
it's really quite genius I mean
not that
54:56
anyone's how they make money
not that
54:58
anyone more money we do now
before we
55:02
take a break I'd like to get
your take
55:05
on the gyrations in the
financial
55:10
markets because the funniest
thing I saw
55:13
over Christmas was a tweet from
the
55:15
president after we closed
Christmas Day
55:18
with you know two days was it
three days
55:19
down in a row and all horrible
worst
55:22
christmas clothes ever the
president
55:24
after minuchin has called the
working
55:29
group on financial markets to
see how
55:32
they're doing with cash
55:33
last time we used that name we
called
55:35
him by their nickname the plunge
55:37
Protection Team we're working
group on
55:42
financial markets that is the
plunge
55:43
Protection Team yeah so he
called them
55:47
with all this is said everyone
into it
55:49
you know you just know santa
rally let's
55:52
put it like that and then the
president
55:54
the next day tweets if I were
you but by
55:57
the dip my mind exploded he's
doing by
56:02
BT
56:03
d by the dip everybody and it
shoots up
56:06
a thousand points the next
market day
56:08
think 1085 something like that
it was
56:10
the most in history that was
fantastic
56:13
he is the stock whisperer of
course she
56:15
had to sell at the end of the
day
56:17
otherwise she gets screwed I'm
sure it's
56:18
down today's no no down estate
look I'm
56:21
sure it is
56:21
I'm sure it is I think it was
down three
56:25
or four hundred points at all
this
56:26
morning it's yeah did you see
best I've
56:31
heard the best commentary I've
heard was
56:34
it's down 396 yeah the best
commentary
56:39
I've ever heard was some some
real
56:40
old-timer was on one of these
financial
56:43
station shows and he says this
56:48
this is his computer training
it's just
56:51
the way it works nowadays you
have a
56:53
downward trend for a little
while the
56:55
computers all jump on it and
they they
56:58
position themselves that that
it's gonna
57:00
go down you know what it is its
57:02
algorithmic amplification
itself this is
57:05
exactly what it is
57:06
he says it's gotten exaggerated
some
57:08
more exaggerated than ever
because the
57:10
computers will push away down
and then
57:11
it starts to go up and they
they all and
57:13
then they all go nuts the
computers in a
57:16
matter of form they all go nuts
and
57:18
things skyrocket and then it
goes down
57:19
it goes up good stuff it's
crazy this is
57:22
like seems like the perfect
time if you
57:24
have any clue about how they
how it's
57:27
actually working it you can as
a day
57:29
trader you should be able make
millions
57:30
of dollars a year well get off
cycle
57:33
your yeah you're done I think
you can do
57:35
it on indexes but individual
stocks is a
57:38
little more a little more
complicated
57:39
because the out there's
probably five
57:41
basic algos I've studied some
of them
57:43
and you know some really dumb
that'll
57:46
just go on on a certain time of
day if
57:49
they're an upward motion but
they
57:51
obviously they will they will
suppress
57:53
price your true pricing
57:55
I think algorithmic
amplification may be
58:00
the only thing
58:01
today's algorithms are really
good at no
58:05
matter what it is
58:06
that's what we've seen on the
social
58:07
media networks like what what
do the
58:09
algos do this is a good point
because
58:10
this is actually stems from the
fractal
58:14
of the semiconductors and one
of the
58:16
greatest things semiconductors
could do
58:18
is amplify
58:20
it's yeah it is a fractal
that's it it's
58:22
either compression or
amplification they
58:25
can do that too
58:26
yes because the world that mean
we love
58:28
mr. compression yeah well
there's
58:31
different kinds of compression
but
58:32
compression in time you know
abstraction
58:35
of of operations anything that
can be
58:38
compressed is its in it's in
our human
58:41
DNA almost to want to compress
things
58:43
but the amplification part yeah
that
58:46
that is truly what computers do
amplify
58:49
us decompress yeah huh modulate
58:53
demodulate well here's um Rick
ferryman
58:56
binary baby this binary man is
nothing
59:01
else to it
59:03
Rick Santelli from CNBC had his
own take
59:06
on this Olson is the Treasury
secretary
59:08
during the crisis you know at
first they
59:11
were going to borrow three
quarters
59:12
worth trillion dollars to buy
toxic
59:13
assets that never materialized
it
59:16
morphed on the fly things could
get
59:18
messy I can't believe some of
the
59:21
nuances though really they can't
59:23
understand that anybody would
be worried
59:25
about liquidity I'll tell you
what go
59:27
visit any major FCM in this
business and
59:30
ask them how many hours a day
they're
59:32
putting in what markets are
moving like
59:34
this or talk about margin and
leverage
59:36
for how many times Treasury
secretary
59:39
minutiae was concerned about
market
59:41
structure all the articles
beginning in
59:43
December listen I understand
every
59:46
nuance is the wrong nuance
because the
59:48
message isn't really any of
these
59:49
individual thoughts but what the
59:51
Treasury secretary is saying
the issue
59:53
is quite simple the central
banks of the
59:56
world propped up the stock
market to a
59:59
point where it can sustain
itself during
1:00:01
normalization and normalization
of only
1:00:03
a few of the participants in
the grand
1:00:06
liquefied scheme of things that
is the
1:00:09
main issue the markets have to
contend
1:00:11
with and they could point blame
whatever
1:00:12
they want there's an oil
industry that
1:00:15
does that and this president
certainly
1:00:17
doesn't get the benefits of
much de
1:00:19
what did he actually say
1:00:23
I have no idea I mean I kind of
was
1:00:25
catching it then that the and
he talks
1:00:27
about the president doesn't get
1:00:29
something and I don't know what
he meant
1:00:30
by that
1:00:31
I don't know well yeah I think
our
1:00:34
thesis here is actually quite a
good one
1:00:35
because the end of year there's
always
1:00:37
stuff going on there's a pension
1:00:39
institutional rebalancing thank
you
1:00:42
chatroom troll room there's a
number of
1:00:45
things but it's the algorithmic
1:00:47
amplification that gives you
these wild
1:00:49
swings and we can probably look
to see
1:00:52
this is something we need to be
on the
1:00:54
lookout for anywhere an
algorithm is
1:00:56
running let's see if we can
find the
1:00:58
amplification because eventually
1:01:02
something has to break
1:01:05
yeah amplification for
amplifications
1:01:07
sake is not the way to go
that's why
1:01:10
audio amplifiers need a preamp
with it
1:01:15
with a volume control on it you
can
1:01:18
stick your pure stuff into the
amp
1:01:20
straight up and then it just
gets
1:01:22
blasted Blatt you blow your
house up but
1:01:25
if you have a preamp which is a
little
1:01:27
controller that says hey I mean
I'm
1:01:29
gonna give you a little bit of
this
1:01:31
juice not all of it
1:01:33
then it's it calms it down we
don't have
1:01:35
a preamp for the economy
interesting
1:01:40
what the Fed I guess would want
to be
1:01:43
the dial Turner to dial their
volume
1:01:46
control yeah the volume control
they I
1:01:48
guess that's what they have
that what
1:01:49
they feel their role is you
know turn up
1:01:51
interest rates turn them down
or inflate
1:01:53
the money supply little tone
control but
1:01:57
then they know and with that
I'd like to
1:02:01
say in the morning to you and
thank you
1:02:04
to the man who put the C in
compression
1:02:06
John C deck
1:02:09
I want to thank you and I want
to thank
1:02:13
all the boots on the ground
feet in the
1:02:14
air subs in the water and all
the Dames
1:02:15
tonight's out there in the
morning to
1:02:16
the troll room let me see how
many
1:02:18
trolls we got here today let me
just do
1:02:20
a quick little scan
1:02:22
Wow 896 that's not bad for a
Christmas
1:02:26
week well in the morning to you
trolls
1:02:28
good to see you got your troll
poles
1:02:30
with you no agenda stream comm
is where
1:02:32
you can always tune into the
program
1:02:35
when we stream it live on
Thursdays and
1:02:38
Sundays also I would like to
say in the
1:02:40
morning to comic strip bloggers
who
1:02:43
brought us the artwork for
episode 1097
1:02:45
title of that - a sword and
again lots
1:02:50
of art we chose this one
because it was
1:02:53
it really does nice
illustration it was
1:02:57
the White House and a bunch of
1:02:58
protesters in comics or
bloggers true
1:02:59
form with his his comic comic
strip
1:03:04
drawing and they were holding
up the
1:03:06
protest signs such as peace
sucks
1:03:08
stopped peace Trump do war not
more war
1:03:13
let's do war Dan was very
appropriate I
1:03:16
think for for the episode was
there any
1:03:19
there was other art I think
that art
1:03:21
that was okay it was good and
wasn't
1:03:22
great but I personally like
this one
1:03:26
because it had the it had the
the tone
1:03:29
that were bitching about which
is all
1:03:31
these Democrats and you just
proved that
1:03:33
with some earlier clips yep
1:03:34
all these you know peaceniks
war was the
1:03:41
only yeah it's not American
enough to
1:03:45
know that one but it was good we
1:03:47
appreciated no agenda art
generator calm
1:03:49
we always loved looking at all
the art
1:03:52
the art is available for anyone
to see
1:03:53
it is
1:03:54
a part of the value for value
system
1:03:56
that we started here and we
appreciate
1:03:59
the value that comics or
bloggers
1:04:00
brought to the show with his
art but we
1:04:05
do have you people think
including three
1:04:07
whoppers at the beginning of
the list no
1:04:09
that came in with a thousand
dollars
1:04:11
plus whoa yeah let's start with
us or
1:04:16
anonymous China wait a minute
do I know
1:04:20
the anonymous China I don't
think I
1:04:23
don't think I've ever heard of
the
1:04:24
anonymous China no he's due no
midnight
1:04:27
he's a nice and a knight yes
but we
1:04:30
don't know who he haven't heard
from him
1:04:32
for a while I don't think it
was at the
1:04:34
meet up but he's in San Ramon
California
1:04:35
so could easily become member
of the
1:04:38
meet up 1098 whoa we have not
had an
1:04:44
episode club member in a long
time it's
1:04:48
been a number of months this
being
1:04:50
episode 1098 I also noticed by
the way I
1:04:54
did the priest dream art it is
ten nine
1:04:57
eight as we count down the year
ten nine
1:05:01
eight seven six five four three
two one
1:05:04
yes exactly
1:05:06
anyway back to our anonymous
China uh hi
1:05:09
John and Adams are anonymous
China here
1:05:11
I've been a long time believe
it or not
1:05:14
I'm still a loyal listener to
your show
1:05:15
since twice a week after seven
years um
1:05:18
this donation is for show ten
nine eight
1:05:21
but besides the obvious reason
another
1:05:23
way to think about the amount
is that
1:05:25
it's almost tax time again and
form 1098
1:05:29
is the taxation form the IRS
slaves like
1:05:32
me need to submit to deduct
some of our
1:05:35
mortgage interest from our
income huh
1:05:38
well I'm crazy well I'm working
hard
1:05:41
every day no I get go I see
creases in
1:05:43
the next line while I'm working
hard
1:05:45
every day to support my family
in the
1:05:47
house we bought your shows
really helped
1:05:50
me stay mentally healthy and
have a
1:05:52
sense of humor dealing with
this crazy
1:05:54
world huh wish you both a Merry
1:05:56
Christmas and a Happy New Year
title
1:05:58
changed for me
1:05:59
knight to baronet Wow sir
anonymous
1:06:03
China thank you very much this
is
1:06:05
fantastic what a great
Christmas present
1:06:07
it's appreciated and we're
happy you are
1:06:10
mentally healthy the second big
donors
1:06:12
anonymous with a thousand
dollars and
1:06:15
uses anonymous Christmas
donation first
1:06:17
time donates first time
donation from
1:06:19
one of the many anonymous Aussie
1:06:21
listeners ha so I humbly
request the
1:06:24
deed douching anonymous Hospice
brings
1:06:34
up an issue ok he's now a
knight if he
1:06:38
wants to be but he says nothing
about it
1:06:42
so did we just ignore this
knighthood
1:06:45
and what have we done in the
past
1:06:47
I thought the pr2 Commission
yet the
1:06:49
Commission and committee had
worked this
1:06:50
out many years they did too but
I have
1:06:52
lost the memo
1:06:53
all right well we'll just let
it slide
1:06:55
Thank You Liz but thank you was
the
1:06:57
title he once yes or it could
just be
1:07:00
her anonymous the trouble is
there's too
1:07:02
many of those remark Milliman in
1:07:05
Longmont Colorado 1000 he wrote
an email
1:07:08
and he donates all the time yes
yes he
1:07:13
does anything we need to know
oh yeah I
1:07:16
have it I loaded it up on the
screen
1:07:22
morning gents from the high
stoner lands
1:07:26
of Boulder County in Colorado
of course
1:07:29
my Christmas donation is coming
through
1:07:32
today it should be in the box by
1:07:35
Christmas Eve at the latest and
this in
1:07:36
memory of my father who passed
away in
1:07:38
November and November 9th from
1:07:41
complications due to colorectal
cancer
1:07:44
hachis f cancer he says I think
I'll
1:07:48
take the executive producer
ship but
1:07:50
this donation is from for my
father so
1:07:54
okay I think I hit him I think
I hit
1:07:57
Barron but I cannot find all the
1:07:59
receipts and I really don't pay
that
1:08:02
much attention because it's more
1:08:04
important to keep the show
alive also I
1:08:09
received tremendous value from
it so the
1:08:11
value for value model works the
show
1:08:14
means so much to me because it
embodies
1:08:16
what my father taught me about
1:08:17
questioning what I see in here
and not
1:08:21
to take things at their face
value
1:08:23
technically I guess I'm a
baronet since
1:08:26
I know I'm a knight and this
doubles the
1:08:28
amount the other thing it's
like the way
1:08:31
he's kind of frustrated by his
by his
1:08:33
knowledge and he slips it in in
an hour
1:08:35
he's in and out of
consciousness it's
1:08:37
great uh
1:08:39
the other change is given since
then was
1:08:42
a hundred here a hundred there
no
1:08:44
jingles no karma I don't waste
time with
1:08:47
the jingles or note no well I'd
like to
1:08:50
do an F F F cancer yeah we'll
do that
1:08:53
for sure right let me do it now
it's
1:08:55
important about it
1:08:57
[Applause]
1:09:01
you've got car for anyone who
needs it
1:09:04
thank you very much sir mark
Milliman
1:09:06
yeah why don't you let us know
if you
1:09:08
have a protectorate if you are
a baron
1:09:10
and then we're gladly upgraded
you
1:09:12
there's no rush then though it
goes on
1:09:15
oh I'm sorry I do not need
karma but I
1:09:20
do need karma because I need
this
1:09:21
satellite deal to come through
or else
1:09:23
I'll need job karma your last
Sunday
1:09:26
show is right on target with my
1:09:28
assignment of the Huawei with my
1:09:30
assessment of the Huawei
situation are
1:09:33
already explained another
component of
1:09:35
the fuck Trump in China planned
from the
1:09:37
deep State these elitist
assholes don't
1:09:40
care who they ruin but Boeing
SpaceX
1:09:44
Hughes and the others are
involved in it
1:09:46
so they are messing with the
big boys
1:09:49
except for the Ilan who is just
a little
1:09:51
boy he's in the business yeah
oh yeah
1:09:55
those up in that area you know
yes I
1:09:58
hope you two have a Merry
Christmas with
1:10:00
your respective families thank
you for
1:10:01
covering these beats so I don't
have to
1:10:04
my amygdala can't handle the
m5m at all
1:10:07
it is for in this current form
including
1:10:09
Fox News and WSJ I always see
so much
1:10:12
more when I read or watch
anything from
1:10:14
the MSA I always see so much
more when I
1:10:18
read or watch anything from the
m5m well
1:10:21
thanks to us Adam I hope your
theory
1:10:24
about AOC is wrong I know she
provides
1:10:27
great source for the show but
she is an
1:10:30
idiot there is no simpler or
nicest way
1:10:34
to put it the problem is that
many of
1:10:36
the Millennial idiots think
she's a
1:10:38
genius let the fucking of
Hillary began
1:10:42
I know Bernie recognizes that
his
1:10:45
political life is ending so he
will pump
1:10:47
up a OC it should be
entertaining it
1:10:50
should be an entertaining ride

1:13:28
these are all executive
producers by the
1:13:31
way this donation completes my
1:13:32
knighthood joining my father at
the
1:13:33
round table have been listening
to the
1:13:34
best podcast in the universe
since
1:13:36
episode 50 also a listener of
the daily
1:13:38
source code way back before
iTunes had
1:13:41
podcast support and when I was
still in
1:13:43
high school
1:13:44
whoo I even remember John on
silicon
1:13:46
spin way back in the cdtv days
I've been
1:13:50
extremely fortunate this year
so it
1:13:52
seems only appropriate to cap
off the
1:13:53
year completing my knighthood
Merry
1:13:56
Christmas Happy New Year
Michael paddle
1:13:59
me Oh Michael thank you so much
that's
1:14:01
fair you know I said it's
interesting
1:14:03
those old days the old days
back into
1:14:05
like this kind of a theme you
know with
1:14:08
the with the old advertisements
that you
1:14:11
put in the newsletter oh yeah
if you
1:14:14
didn't see the news though you
missed
1:14:15
out that's for sure but someone
sent me
1:14:17
I'll just play it you tell me
when you
1:14:18
want me to stop a clip of you
which i
1:14:21
think is from the 80s about the
new
1:14:23
being interviewed about viruses
1:14:27
can I play a little bit just as
I wanted
1:14:29
I'm interested now why do
hackers plant
1:14:31
viruses what kind of guys are
these we
1:14:34
visited computer columnist John
Dvorak
1:14:36
to learn more about Oh where's
the sea
1:14:38
oh-ho-ho what's up with that
yeah
1:14:41
psychological profile of the
virus
1:14:43
hacker there there young the
mostly male
1:14:47
they probably like pizza and
coca-cola
1:14:49
you can probably find them at a
7-eleven
1:14:51
they probably have weird hours
you know
1:14:53
they stay up real late that may
sound
1:14:55
like the description of a
typical
1:14:57
teenager
1:14:58
but beware because it may also
be the
1:15:00
picture of a typical computer
hacker
1:15:02
according to the computer virus
Industry
1:15:04
Association some 60,000 pcs
across the
1:15:07
country are infected by viruses
every
1:15:09
month hackers try to infiltrate
the
1:15:12
systems for a variety of
reasons for
1:15:14
some it's just a practical joke
others
1:15:17
may have a score to settle with
a former
1:15:19
boss
1:15:19
the real reason may be a whole
lot
1:15:21
simpler but just as harmful
here it
1:15:24
comes
1:15:24
there's two things that make
people
1:15:26
create viruses one is some peer
group
1:15:28
pressure they're in a group
that does
1:15:29
this kind of stuff the other
one is
1:15:31
boredom because they you know
maybe
1:15:33
these people were employed and
actually
1:15:35
there are some people who are
employed
1:15:36
that create viruses and there's
just a
1:15:37
cheap thrill of doing it and
seeing
1:15:39
seeing what happens to your
creation it
1:15:42
is a little bit like graffiti
art in
1:15:43
that regard you know throwing
something
1:15:45
up on the wall and then taking
off
1:15:46
before the police catch up no
it's not
1:15:49
your wall that's that's it man
that's
1:15:58
that's what that's why hackers
do what
1:16:00
they do
1:16:02
that was the hackers then and
then they
1:16:05
decided they figure out they
make money
1:16:06
in that chain oh yeah no it's a
very
1:16:08
different situation it's just
funny I
1:16:10
mean if you play some clips for
me from
1:16:11
MTV for I'll sound very stupid
believe
1:16:14
me I'll get them yeah you
should hey
1:16:17
people out there I know a lot
of you
1:16:19
have collected Adams old MTV
stuff send
1:16:22
me some of the bitter stuff
1:16:23
there we go it's not your wall
man let
1:16:26

pretty
1:16:28

Uncle Dave the on the old
Dvorak blog
1:19:54
how was that who that is yeah
Uncle Dave
1:19:57
he's coming he loves the show
sir Uncle
1:20:02
Dave night of the retired old
farts here
1:20:04
with the new years donation of
two three
1:20:06
four five six and a personal
thank you
1:20:07
for what you two did for me
this year
1:20:10
what was that you say actually
should be
1:20:13
what was that you asked if you
remember
1:20:16
at the beginning of April I
started my
1:20:19
retirement with the driving
trip to
1:20:20
Arizona while heading down a
lonesome
1:20:22
desert road a deer ran across
ahead of
1:20:24
me I swerved and my newer used
car
1:20:27
bought four days before ended
up on its
1:20:29
side off the road demolished in
a
1:20:32
boulder ouch after cutting me
out of the
1:20:35
car I was airlifted to the
hospital
1:20:37
where I stayed for over a week
only
1:20:39
crying following months I
healed my
1:20:41
battered body and what some of
my
1:20:43
doctors considered an amazing
rate which
1:20:45
I attribute to the No Agenda
show wait
1:20:49
well I don't always agree with
your
1:20:50
conclusions by the way people
don't have
1:20:52
to mention that to us because
we know
1:20:54
you're studied analysis and
commentary
1:20:57
against the insanity of the m5m
belches
1:21:01
out Babette belches out quieted
my
1:21:04
amygdala so much so that I could
1:21:07
concentrate on healing
1:21:10
that's an interesting theory so
he never
1:21:13
got the swollen amygdala and
that could
1:21:16
heal better instead of you know
being
1:21:18
all freaked out there may be
something
1:21:20
to that I think so too
1:21:23
and I'm not normally buying
into a lot
1:21:25
of this but I kind of think
that's
1:21:27
probably true because the ever
since we
1:21:29
found out about the amygdala
issue yeah
1:21:31
I bet there are others who have
been
1:21:33
mentally healed by you by the
power
1:21:36
invested in me by me I
pronounce you
1:21:39
doctors of deconstruction
unlike my
1:21:42
doctors listeners can partake
of your
1:21:44
services without buying
insurance
1:21:46
although a listener donation
1:21:48
prescription is recommended of
course
1:21:50
don't forget to list your
doctorates on
1:21:52
your LinkedIn profiles for when
you find
1:21:55
you need to get real jobs
thanks dr.
1:21:58
John and dr. Adam he did
healing work no
1:22:02
jails no okay because you've
always
1:22:03
supplied me with enough already
thank
1:22:05
you babe well well Dave I think
there
1:22:11
this is very interesting
1:22:14
doctors of hmm doctors of
deconstruction
1:22:18
yeah next time I do a business
you know
1:22:22
it's very it's very similar to
the way
1:22:24
medicine used to work in the
old days it
1:22:27
would you know the doctor the
town
1:22:28
doctor he no one would pay him
he'd get
1:22:31
value in return
1:22:32
here's chicken you know I'll
help you
1:22:35
build your barn it's a very
similar
1:22:38
system they paid him
1:22:40
now what not in Little House on
the
1:22:43
Prairie they didn't the the
doctor was
1:22:46
always out of money well so are
we

1:24:58
hyper-realistic drill portrayed

by the
1:25:03
least promoted video of all time
1:25:05
September Clues which shows
Eric that
1:25:09
every bit of 9/11 video is pre
1:25:11
fabricated like a movie

of the show believe me you're
worried
1:28:31
but it's completely separate
1:28:33
I've been following ipfs for a
couple of
1:28:36
years and have been messing
around with
1:28:38
it it's ipfs stands for the
1:28:40
interplanetary file system yeah
and
1:28:44
yesterday I did the ultimate is
1:28:46
something that one of these
like Tim
1:28:51
berners-lee or one of these
types of
1:28:52
guys or came up with no no not
at all
1:28:57
who did it I think the main guy
is a kid
1:29:01
from Stanford okay and oh it's
not in
1:29:05
anyone's interest except us
1:29:07
to have something like this
running and
1:29:09
what what tipped me over I went
I
1:29:11
revisit these these things from
time to
1:29:13
time to see if they're useful
and I've
1:29:16
come to the conclusion that
ipfs the
1:29:18
interplanetary file system is
almost
1:29:21
useful for large podcast
distribution
1:29:25
now I'm not gonna get it I'm
not gonna
1:29:28
get into the way it works but
very
1:29:30
nicely CloudFlare has set up a
gateway
1:29:35
in order for this to work and
it's a
1:29:37
distributed file system and of
course
1:29:39
it's you know the Internet is
the cloud
1:29:41
and everyone's hosting your
files and a
1:29:43
lot of stuff that you've heard
before
1:29:44
but this one seems to be
something that
1:29:46
can get legs because they've
1:29:48
incorporated into blockchain in
fact
1:29:51
it's very similar to what
github does a
1:29:53
very similar type of system
ology or
1:29:56
system but klutzo in if you
don't have
1:30:00
the software running to
basically a
1:30:02
little local server to use the
because
1:30:05
it's just a hash instead of a
full URL
1:30:08
you can say you can use a
public gateway
1:30:11
and CloudFlare set up a public
gateway
1:30:13
for this yeah they said it's
just to
1:30:17
stimulate to stimulate now in
all these
1:30:19
cases having a you know a main
front end
1:30:23
or like a distribution network
we even
1:30:25
if you can distribute between
other
1:30:27
peers that that are hosting the
file
1:30:30
that's being requested it's not
bad to
1:30:33
have you know a couple of
1:30:34
have a system that can you know
rotate
1:30:36
amongst these public gateways
for people
1:30:38
who don't have them anyway long
story
1:30:40
short I've started a second RSS
feed is
1:30:43
completely separate I've tested
it it
1:30:46
works it'll be in the show
notes in a
1:30:48
show notes calm or no agenda
show calm
1:30:51
and if anyone wants to try it
out
1:30:53
because pretty much I'm
uploading a
1:30:55
hundred and twenty Meg file
which is the
1:30:57
average size for our show and
it's going
1:30:59
into the IEP FS I'm not hosting
it I'm
1:31:02
hosting one original copy on my
laptop
1:31:04
and everyone who subscribes to
that
1:31:07
should be able to receive it
and I'm
1:31:09
just interested to see how well
that
1:31:10
works if just you know it's a
test but I
1:31:13
think it's an important one
who's
1:31:16
hosting it well no one's
hosting with
1:31:19
it's the the fog they just
floats around
1:31:22
is data in the cloud and then
it gets
1:31:24
picked off yeah yeah so in
other words
1:31:27
is freeloading
1:31:30
well it's no different the
freeloading
1:31:33
than torrents only you don't
have to
1:31:36
have a central tracker as long
as you
1:31:37
have the hash of the file you're
1:31:39
requesting and that's what
pushed me
1:31:43
over the edge I tweeted just
the hash
1:31:44
not a URL just the hash that
can anyone
1:31:46
see this and was a hash for an
image I'd
1:31:48
drawn that said it worked and a
lot of
1:31:51
people got it and they knew how
to
1:31:52
retrieve it I was like okay so
there's
1:31:55
enough out there to start
testing I know
1:31:56
there's some just with all this
deep
1:31:58
platforming going on there is
stuff
1:32:00
that's working and I love
trying to lead
1:32:03
that charge because there's no
money in
1:32:06
this there's no money anywhere
so these
1:32:15
guys because we're losing money
cuz
1:32:17
we're associated with them
exactly yeah
1:32:20
can't do that so good but I'm
glad
1:32:23
you're doing this there's also
a you
1:32:24
know the last thing in the
world I'd do
1:32:26
I don't trust any of this stuff
yeah
1:32:29
well there's and there's
interesting
1:32:31
because it's it's created with a
1:32:34
blockchain there's interesting
ways you
1:32:36
can add in payments for either
hosting
1:32:38
or storing some of it or for
content I
1:32:40
mean I'm not too interested in
that part
1:32:42
but I am very interested in the
ability
1:32:45
to just share a file with
anybody by
1:32:49
dropping it into a folder
Almighty knows
1:32:51
it's the ultimate goal it's
like Dropbox
1:32:54
you know it's like you got was
thinking
1:32:56
Dropbox when you said yeah and
it just
1:32:58
came to me as well it's pretty
much like
1:32:59
Dropbox you throw it in you
copy the
1:33:01
location which is not a URL and
then
1:33:05
anyone can go and get it now
the issue
1:33:07
of course is you put something
up there
1:33:09
there's no way for you to ever
get it
1:33:12
off where it's unlikely because
once
1:33:14
copies are made you know you're
removing
1:33:16
it unlike Dropbox is not going
to remove
1:33:19
it so you want to be careful
what you
1:33:20
put up
1:33:22
um anyway that'll be a test and
I'd love
1:33:24
to hear back from our dudes and
dudettes
1:33:27
named Ben and Ben and and
benjamina to
1:33:30
see if they had any success
with that
1:33:32
and we'll continue to look huh
yeah well
1:33:36
good yeah yeah how about this
drone
1:33:39
story this gatwick drone story
is I'm a
1:33:42
long version of it because this
this now
1:33:46
that as I understand it Gatwick
was shut
1:33:48
down for at least 24 hours 36
hours this
1:33:53
is an outrage and aviation
outrage it
1:33:56
makes no sense someone is lying
1:34:01
I mean there's a million ways
to detect
1:34:03
that they couldn't find it
could there's
1:34:05
no way to find a signal for
that was
1:34:06
controlling the drone I don't
need I
1:34:08
think it was even a picture of
the drone
1:34:13
well it's going to sell some new
1:34:14
products yes I've noticed this
as well
1:34:18
the drone dome security well
there's a
1:34:21
couple of them there's one
domestic
1:34:23
there's one in Israel that both
of them
1:34:25
are discussing the drone threat
at
1:34:28
airports report from MB NBC with
1:34:30
millions of Americans flying
over these
1:34:32
holidays US officials tonight
are
1:34:34
growing increasingly concerned
that our
1:34:36
airports could face an illegal
drone
1:34:38
disruption like the one that
shut down a
1:34:40
major airport last week NBC's
Pete
1:34:43
Williams now on the push to
protect the
1:34:45
skies after struggling with
dozens of
1:34:48
drone sightings by shutting down
1:34:50
operations twice Gatwick
Airport south
1:34:53
of London finally brought in a
system
1:34:55
designed by an Israeli company
to detect
1:34:57
drones according to British
media the
1:34:59
challenge of keeping drones and
planes
1:35:01
apart is growing more difficult
and even
1:35:04
accidentally bumping into a
plane could
1:35:06
be disastrous a larger format
drone 10
1:35:09
to 15 pounds could do a
significant
1:35:12
amount of damage to an airplane
and if
1:35:14
it were close to the ground it
could
1:35:15
result in loss of the airplanes
even
1:35:17
more worrisome is the prospect
of an
1:35:19
intentional attack Isis
terrorists
1:35:21
overseas have been using
hobbyist drones
1:35:24
to carry explosives or dropped
small
1:35:26
bombs Congress has been slow to
respond
1:35:28
to the drone threat it only
recently
1:35:30
gave the federal government
authority to
1:35:32
disable drones that fly into
restricted
1:35:34
airspace and security experts
say most
1:35:37
airports are not prepared to
deal with
1:35:39
them Salt Lake City's Airport is
1:35:41
monitoring two of its runways
with a
1:35:43
system to deal with potential
drones
1:35:45
made by a Utah company it uses
radar to
1:35:48
detect them and dispatches a
drone
1:35:50
hunter to bring them down it's
not just
1:35:53
airports that are unprepared
when we go
1:35:56
into stadiums when we go to
airports
1:35:58
there's fences there's all
sorts of
1:36:01
checkpoints and what we're
learning now
1:36:03
is that America needs to invest
in
1:36:05
airspace security just like
ground
1:36:07
security it's a rapidly growing
threat
1:36:09
with two million drones
estimated to be
1:36:12
in the hands of American
hobbyists by
1:36:13
the end of 2019
1:36:15
[Music]
1:36:18
I've heard these drones that
have nets
1:36:23
and they just get to the drone
and throw
1:36:25
a net on him the one company I
have is
1:36:29
Rafael advanced defense systems
they
1:36:32
make the drone dome
1:36:35
has now been ordered by the UK
first
1:36:37
customer for the counter
unmanned air
1:36:39
system equipment yeah
1:36:42
that's the one I think was
discussed and
1:36:43
of course they did find some
saps and
1:36:46
blamed it all on them and the
media went
1:36:48
while then it turned out
1:36:49
oopsie no it wasn't them the
couple
1:36:51
arrested and later released
without
1:36:53
being charged for a drone
disruption at
1:36:55
Gatwick Airport in London last
week they
1:36:57
are now speaking out for the
first time
1:36:59
Paul Gates says they were
treated very
1:37:01
badly as you can probably
imagine we're
1:37:05
feeling very feeling completely
violated
1:37:07
a home has been searched and
our privacy
1:37:11
in identity completely exposed
our names
1:37:14
photos and other personal
information
1:37:17
have been bull cast throughout
the world
1:37:19
yeah and even their response
was so hard
1:37:24
I have a different theory
though I'm
1:37:27
well I would say for you in
school just
1:37:30
a just a superficial theory the
company
1:37:33
that makes the drone dome is
the one who
1:37:36
sent a drone in there mm-hmm
1:37:38
you know probably a one that's
not
1:37:40
controlled you don't need a lot
of them
1:37:42
are nowadays or you can just
program the
1:37:44
drone to do stuff and it goes
out and
1:37:46
doesn't comes back home or go
someplace
1:37:48
else or whatever you want it to
do and
1:37:50
you go in there and just you
mess with
1:37:52
them and then you come in there
with
1:37:53
your sales guys and say hey let
go we
1:37:55
got that would be the the most
1:37:58
superficial analysis on what's
missing
1:38:01
from this is evidence of any
drone at
1:38:04
all what's missing from this is
is more
1:38:07
than one aircraft reporting a
drone did
1:38:11
not happen
1:38:12
there's no recording of it
there's no
1:38:15
one saying there's drones about
drones
1:38:17
are all over airports people are
1:38:19
assholes they fly these things
and I say
1:38:21
that as an aviator they they
fly these
1:38:23
things everywhere airports do
deal with
1:38:26
this and to shut down Gatwick
for 36
1:38:29
hours can only be because of
one thing
1:38:33
what unidentified flying object
ray
1:38:41
I'm serious about that I'm not
saying it
1:38:44
was a spaceship but I think
there was
1:38:46
something unidentified they
couldn't
1:38:47
figure it out and they had to
bring in a
1:38:49
whole bunch of people and we'll
never
1:38:52
hear about radar cool because
if there
1:38:54
was visible they would have
dead bee
1:38:56
videos all over the place oh man
1:38:59
UFOs don't show up on radar
hello how
1:39:03
was this visible what are you
talking
1:39:04
about I think I think it was
visible
1:39:07
I've seen I've seen a picture
which I
1:39:08
don't think is is I mean who
the hell
1:39:10
knows I've seen a picture of
where
1:39:12
something is flying there that
looks
1:39:13
like it might be some kind of
disc
1:39:15
shaped object that I don't
could be a
1:39:16
frisbee for all I know I'm
saying this
1:39:18
type of shut down for 36 hours
not
1:39:20
because do we think someone's
flying a
1:39:23
drone around which we haven't
seen have
1:39:25
no pictures of no radar in no
ground
1:39:27
this ground radar nothing
1:39:30
this was something much bigger
1:39:36
well it's not it's not the
Occam's razor
1:39:44
and now this is no but that's
not why
1:39:47
people come to the No Agenda
show John
1:39:54
[Music]
1:39:58
more will be revealed yes this
is all
1:40:02
that mainstream news and most
of it was
1:40:04
about scammers a real you must
have felt
1:40:07
right at home sorry you must
have felt
1:40:10
right at home yeah scam scam so
so they
1:40:18
they got two of these clips one
of them
1:40:21
is I think educational I think
people
1:40:23
will enjoy listening to it
1:40:24
but the other one is just like
what is
1:40:26
this stupidity this is a this
to me is a
1:40:31
native ad for Netflix because
this the
1:40:34
scam they're about to discuss
it's not
1:40:37
even anything new and specific
or
1:40:40
specific to Netflix has been
going on
1:40:42
with PayPal for decades but
play the
1:40:45
Netflix CBS scam for dummies
the Federal
1:40:48
Trade Commission warning Netflix
1:40:49
customers about a new email scam
1:40:51
criminals are posing as Netflix
in these
1:40:54
emails and asking recipients to
confirm
1:40:56
payment details experts say
it's a good
1:40:59
idea to avoid clicking on links
and
1:41:01
emails like this altogether
best to log
1:41:03
on to your Netflix account on
the
1:41:05
Netflix site yeah that's not
the most
1:41:08
egregious of them the one I am
despising
1:41:11
is the Amazon giftcard
1:41:14
I have the gift card one but
it's not
1:41:17
the Amazon giftcard gentleman
here was a
1:41:19
generic gift card scam mm-hmm
Amazon was
1:41:23
never mentioned no interesting
so it
1:41:25
wasn't a native ad in fact it
wasn't an
1:41:27
ad for anything I thought this
was an
1:41:29
actually a mainly because Andrew
1:41:32
Horowitz his father-in-law fell
for this
1:41:35
brother yes and he's apparently
others
1:41:39
beside himself how bad were to
get what
1:41:41
happened to all is it's like
something
1:41:43
like 10 grand or something here
here's
1:41:46
one here's a gift card scammer
this is
1:41:48
the rundown of how it works I
have more
1:41:50
details from someone from that
let me
1:41:53
just before before we play the
report
1:41:54
here's my observation with the
Amazon
1:41:56
gift card scam it comes in you
see the
1:41:59
subject line and it's so no no
this is
1:42:02
not email oh I'm sorry
1:42:04
okay that I have an email issue
yours is
1:42:08
different you tell us later but
it's not
1:42:09
this the cards are an
increasingly
1:42:11
popular holiday present turns
out
1:42:14
thieves like them to federal
regulators
1:42:17
say in the past three years
gift card
1:42:19
fraud has jumped two hundred
and seventy
1:42:21
percent Tony to cocoa spoke
with someone
1:42:24
who's been scammed all the
steps that
1:42:27
were being done and taken real
Trinidad
1:42:31
Gonzalez says a man claiming to
be her
1:42:33
grandson called saying he was
in jail
1:42:35
and needed thousands of dollars
1:42:37
immediately he then put someone
on the
1:42:39
phone who posed as an attorney
you know
1:42:41
I was hesitant because that's a
lot of
1:42:43
money but the caller said he
would make
1:42:45
it easy for the 76 year old
grandmother
1:42:47
he told her to purchase gift
cards from
1:42:49
Walmart and give him the
numbers on the
1:42:51
back of the cards he warned her
not to
1:42:53
answer questions from store
employees
1:42:55
they asked me do you know where
this
1:42:57
money is going to and I said
it's going
1:42:58
to my grandchildren that night
she
1:43:00
figured out her real grandson
was at
1:43:02
home in Virginia by that point
Gonzalez
1:43:05
who had recently lost her
husband was
1:43:07
out four thousand dollars so
much money
1:43:10
so much money for me to hand
over to a
1:43:13
stranger like that according to
the
1:43:15
Federal Trade Commission 26
percent of
1:43:17
victims paid scammers with a
gift card
1:43:19
between January and September
this year
1:43:22
that's up from only 7% in 2015
it's a
1:43:25
huge issue Pennsylvania
Attorney General
1:43:28
Josh Shapiro why wouldn't a
scammer just
1:43:30
ask for cash or a credit card
number
1:43:32
well typically with cash you'd
have to
1:43:34
have a meet-up somehow and so
they don't
1:43:36
want to create that risk and on
a credit
1:43:39
card that's much easier to
trace and
1:43:41
easier for the bank to shut
down the
1:43:44
money flowing to the scammer
Trinidad
1:43:46
Gonzalez says she hopes her
story will
1:43:48
put others on high alert I hope
it
1:43:51
helped somebody somebody who
likes me
1:43:54
thinks they're smart enough not
to fall
1:43:56
for it and to question things
more cuz I
1:43:59
didn't question anything yeah
just one
1:44:03
that happened with horowitz's I
think
1:44:09
his father in law it wasn't his
father's
1:44:11
father in law the kid was in
Tijuana I
1:44:15
was getting a grandson kid was
in
1:44:18
Tijuana he just got busted and
he's got
1:44:20
to get out of jail I was just
have to
1:44:22
spend a month in a Tijuana
prison or
1:44:24
someone goes like Andrews kid
no it's
1:44:28
one that one of the kids Oh
whose kid it
1:44:30
was was one of them grandkids
somewhere
1:44:32
in the family I don't have the
map of it
1:44:35
but it was one of these kids
everyone
1:44:36
knows who it is and he has to
get this
1:44:39
money to him immediately and so
he went
1:44:42
did the same thing same routine
and he
1:44:44
gave me senilis money meanwhile
the kid
1:44:46
is you know parked in Loveland
Colorado
1:44:49
or just a big fort lauderdale or
1:44:52
something he's home all the
time no and
1:44:55
nobody bothered to call him or
say hey
1:44:58
what is you know cuz he wasn't
it wasn't
1:45:00
in Mexico at all Wow and so of
course
1:45:04
now you have to eat crap for
the rest of
1:45:05
your life for being a sucker
but this
1:45:09
apparently goes on and it says
hit
1:45:11
Andrew got is one of the people
that's
1:45:14
familiar with it so people
should know
1:45:18
about this
1:45:18
this gives gift cards are
dubious anyway
1:45:21
so what's the one you're
talking about
1:45:22
the one I'm talking about is
you get an
1:45:24
email and I get emails from
Amazon I
1:45:26
still order some things to the
mom
1:45:27
really trying to curtail my
purchases
1:45:30
from Amazon evil Corp so
they'll sense
1:45:34
they'll send something about Oh
get your
1:45:36
Amazon gift card and it's
something
1:45:38
about the wording is
sophisticated the
1:45:41
wording
1:45:42
even the return email address
which is
1:45:44
what you usually want to look
at and
1:45:46
I've gone so far as to load
images on
1:45:49
one of these because I have my
images
1:45:51
turned off because that's how
they track
1:45:52
one of the many ways they can
track if
1:45:55
you're if you're if you've read
their
1:45:56
mail and so of course the
minute I
1:45:58
turned on the images and
they're like
1:45:59
wait a minute this isn't really
from
1:46:02
Amazon I'd already signaled
them that
1:46:04
hey here's a sucker send some
more and
1:46:06
you can they keep changing the
email
1:46:08
address and you don't really
want to
1:46:10
block the word Amazon so it
becomes a
1:46:12
little complicated it's a good
one
1:46:14
though I don't know that I've
seen this
1:46:18
yeah it's like a $50 gift card
if you
1:46:21
fill out their survey
1:46:25
where's this war you lot you
login with
1:46:27
login with your Amazon
credentials oh
1:46:30
you don't you don't actually
get a gift
1:46:33
card surprise surprise
1:46:37
earlier one of our producers in
the
1:46:40
donation segment talked about
AOC
1:46:42
Alexandria Ocasio cortes and
how stupid
1:46:44
she is and is the word he used
idiot
1:46:47
idiot or stupid idiot he said
idiot
1:46:50
right well I think she's going
to be
1:46:53
very big in our future I've
said this
1:46:55
before and her green New Deal is
1:46:58
catching all kinds of steam if
she made
1:47:01
it the green nuke deal I could
actually
1:47:03
get on board with that but I
don't know
1:47:05
if the if children a nukes bad
nuke is
1:47:08
bad according to the younger
generation
1:47:11
but this constant mu she is
leading the
1:47:15
charge of the children who have
been
1:47:16
abused by their parents and by
the media
1:47:20
their parents consumed it's all
around
1:47:22
us and the message and I'll just
1:47:24
reiterating for those of you
who are new
1:47:25
who can come to us from this
week in
1:47:27
tech that we're overlooking the
children
1:47:32
are being told they're going to
die you
1:47:35
have ten more years before you
die the
1:47:37
planet will be held children
are drink
1:47:40
in the garden and and are
drawing
1:47:41
pictures of the world is hell a
fiery
1:47:43
hell and we're all dead and
we're
1:47:45
surprised by this so to get us
into the
1:47:49
child abuse which is as I see
it abusing
1:47:53
children to propagate this
message and
1:47:55
this is a real whammy this is
the
1:47:56
fifteen-year-old girl this was
at the
1:47:59
end of the Poland climate
summit this is
1:48:03
the fifteen-year-old Swedish
girl just
1:48:04
play that so you can hear the
abuse that
1:48:07
is taking place
1:48:08
fifteen-year-old environmental
activists
1:48:09
from Sweden is scolding world
leaders on
1:48:12
what she says is their failure
to
1:48:14
address climate change
1:48:15
Greta Sundberg addressed the
climate
1:48:18
change summit that wrapped up
in Poland
1:48:19
on Sunday on Saturday and she
didn't
1:48:21
hold back she accused the
negotiators
1:48:24
from nearly 200 nations of
abandoning
1:48:26
young people and stealing their
future
1:48:28
by refusing to commit to
measures that
1:48:30
will truly halt global warming
1:48:33
you are not mature enough to
tell it
1:48:35
like it is even that burden you
leave to
1:48:39
us and children but I don't
care about
1:48:43
being popular I care about
climate
1:48:46
justice and the Living Planet
our
1:48:50
civilization is being
sacrificed for the
1:48:53
opportunity of a very small
number of
1:48:56
people to continue making
enormous
1:48:58
amounts of money the Thunder
became a
1:49:01
hero to many young
environmentalists
1:49:03
after she skipped school back in
1:49:04
September to protest climate
change
1:49:06
outside the swedish parliament
so this
1:49:09
is he yes just a girl I played
the clip
1:49:12
of last show yes show before I
know
1:49:14
that's why I said to reiterate
ah it's
1:49:17
the key word now so this type
of abuse
1:49:22
of this young girl which is
being
1:49:25
propagated onto her peer group
and she's
1:49:29
looking for climate justice
which I love
1:49:31
that she and she's looking for
that has
1:49:33
resulted in an affliction and
the
1:49:36
affliction needs to be dealt
with it is
1:49:37
serious a lot of kids have it
and it is
1:49:39
called climate grief if you pay
1:49:42
attention to climate change
news these
1:49:44
days this is NBC it's pretty
distressing
1:49:46
I don't know if I'm hopeful
that we will
1:49:49
avoid climate catastrophe it
seems like
1:49:52
that window of time is rapidly
closing
1:49:54
climate catastrophe another
good one
1:49:56
hold on I got to write the
climate
1:49:58
catastrophe huh Marcela
Mulholland is 21
1:50:01
years old she's a college
student from
1:50:03
Orlando for a few years now

1:50:06
feeling angst over the climate
choosing
1:50:08
to be pay attention and to be
aware in
1:50:11
the world at this time is like
a deeply
1:50:13
painful daily exercise and
definitely
1:50:19
anxious like totally really sad
about
1:50:24
the world but yeah now there's
a name
1:50:27
for what she's feeling
1:50:29
climate grief climate grief is
such a
1:50:31
thing and I'm glad that they
there's a
1:50:34
label for it now and people are
working
1:50:36
on fry out of your voice lady

1:50:39

Marcella
1:50:42

grief
1:50:45
so the fur
1:50:46
John John when did you first
feel
1:50:49
climate green I first looked

first time I
1:50:59
became aware of like climbing
wow what
1:51:03
does that tell why is she
laughing was
1:51:05

you again
1:51:09
the question when did you first
climb
1:51:11
agrees yes Marcella what does
she first
1:51:13
feel climate grief so the first
time I
1:51:17
became aware of like climate
change I
1:51:20
was like a severe existential
threat to
1:51:23
humanity into all of life on
Earth was
1:51:25
my freshman year of college and
I took a
1:51:27
sustainability class you go to
school
1:51:34
and then they try to make you
feel like
1:51:36
you're gonna die and I was
really sad
1:51:40
for a while
1:51:41
and I was just really mad that
I had
1:51:43
lived in the world for like 18
years and
1:51:45
had never like no one ever told
me that
1:51:48
we were like rapidly luckily
luckily now
1:51:56
I don't want to take away from
this
1:51:58
young lady's experience yeah
and she may
1:52:00
really be feeling that she
don't but
1:52:02
clearly she has climate grief
and there
1:52:06
is there they do have some
solutions
1:52:09
there's ways you can deal with
climate
1:52:11
grief Amy Lewis row and Laura
Schmidt
1:52:13
are the founders of the good
grief
1:52:14
Network the held the session at
the
1:52:16
conference and how to deal with
climate
1:52:18
grief before the session I
asked Laura
1:52:21
what exactly is climate grief
climate
1:52:24
grief is the gut punch that you
feel
1:52:25
when you realize that your
imagined
1:52:27
future may not exist anymore
when you
1:52:29
realize that what we've done to
the
1:52:32
planet will not make tomorrow
look like
1:52:34
yesterday I asked Amy what she
hoped
1:52:37
people would get out of the
session
1:52:38
tools and community and
reminders that
1:52:41
they're not alone so is this
the climate
1:52:45
depression session that's
Kelton one of
1:52:47
the seventeen people who showed
up at
1:52:48
this session sounds like you
were
1:52:51
meeting we were young is the
climate
1:52:53
depression session he and Laura
said low
1:52:56
to the ground chairs in a
circle in the
1:52:58
grass
1:52:59
Circle the group was surrounded
by tall
1:53:00
trees and desert mountains
sitting under
1:53:03
the clear blue sky not a cloud
in sight
1:53:05
was incredibly quiet the only
sound was
1:53:09
a little bit of wind passing by
yeah
1:53:12
that's how you you go to the
good grief
1:53:14
Network and and they take care
of your
1:53:16
climate grief and I think
there's one
1:53:18
last term we need to learn a
couple
1:53:20
years ago Amy and Laura started
working
1:53:22
at a 10-step program to deal
with
1:53:23
collective grief things like
mass
1:53:25
shootings and climate change
alright ten
1:53:27
steps to psychosocial resilience
1:53:29
psychosocial resilience holy
moly
1:53:34
what is that they shared their
steps at
1:53:38
the uplift session one accept
the
1:53:41
problem and its severity to
acknowledge
1:53:44
that I am part of the problem
as well as
1:53:46
the solution are you following
along
1:53:48
because this is gonna help you
get
1:53:49
through your part of the
private and
1:53:51
she's part of the problem it's
so sad
1:53:54
with these children are being
put
1:53:56
through they had this is the
mantra that
1:53:58
listen let's deconstruct them
1:54:00
acknowledge that I am part of
the
1:54:01
problem that was the first one
one
1:54:04
except the problem and its
severity so
1:54:07
right off the bat the severity
is using
1:54:10
the 12-step yes yes and so
they're doing
1:54:14
it with the first one is you
have to
1:54:16
accept that you're going to die
1:54:18
existential problem to
acknowledge that
1:54:21
I am part of the problem as
well as the
1:54:23
solution part of the problem
MassDEP
1:54:27

uncertainty
1:54:30

uncertainty these
1:54:32
are life skills here at four
confront my
1:54:35

you can
1:55:04
take some breaks and rest when
we break
1:55:06
I need the rest as needed
1:55:08
I you know I've thought about
this over
1:55:10
my most of my life I've thought
about
1:55:11
this idea of taking breaks and
resting
1:55:15
you know like going to bed yeah
it's a
1:55:18
pretty good idea should be on
the list
1:55:21
but this is more when needed so
you can
1:55:23
say I'm sorry I need to stop
working
1:55:26
right now I need a little break
oh I
1:55:29
need a nail that that's exactly

1:55:40
rest for what's the problem I
just need
1:55:42
it I have my inner feelings I
understand
1:55:45
myself and I know when I need a
break
1:55:46
and as I'm telling myself in
there in
1:55:49
internally inside myself I'm
saying to
1:55:51
myself I need a break
1:55:53
and so I I need a break step 7

lucky going nine-nine show up
show up
1:56:32
show up ten reinvest into
problem
1:56:35
solving efforts
1:56:37
Wow this is the this is a
10-step
1:56:41
program for morons I give you a
clip of
1:56:45
the day by the way oh thank you
I
1:56:47
thought it was a nice little
collection
1:56:49
of the thing I'm saying about
this is
1:57:01
you're starting this thing
you're gonna
1:57:03
continue I'm sure no no but I'm
thinking
1:57:06
about the child abuse thing is
when you
1:57:09
have these I never thought
about it
1:57:10
quite like this moment it is
I'm going
1:57:12
to express so you have these
1:57:14
kindergarteners and first
graders
1:57:15
drawing the little stick
figures with
1:57:18
the rayon sort of the world on
fire and
1:57:21
then you use you for some
reason how do
1:57:23
they get this idea in the first
place
1:57:25
and then you take the picture
say look
1:57:27
even the little kids are seeing
the
1:57:30
world as a horrible place is
gonna be
1:57:32
burnt to the ground cause like
time in
1:57:33
change we've got to do
something for the
1:57:35
children is really sick
1:57:40
that's exactly what's happening
and
1:57:42
parents are not have zero
realization of
1:57:46
the harm they're doing and Al
Gore up
1:57:49
front doors the worst he's a
demon I
1:57:52
mean it used to be you saw the
sad
1:57:54
little polar bear and kids
could kind of
1:57:56
get into that even though the
polar bear
1:57:58
can slim swim very well doesn't
need the
1:58:00
little piece of ice and ice and
the
1:58:03
polar bear population has
increased
1:58:04
substantially yes a popular
right-wing
1:58:07
troop is white-winged robust
old right
1:58:11
trope but now we changed it too
and in
1:58:17
particular this this last
report with we
1:58:19
have ten years before we died
and that's
1:58:22
the way it's being interpreted
even
1:58:25
though that's not even what it
says that
1:58:27
has really pushed these kids
over over
1:58:29
the the tipping point and as we
heard in
1:58:33
the clip they all learn about
this and
1:58:35
all become afflicted with
climate grief
1:58:38
once they hit college where
they're
1:58:40
taught you're going to die
unbelievable
1:58:43
what college was this that I
don't know
1:58:50
you know in a good college well
at least
1:58:52
when I was a kid in a good
university
1:58:55
the kids are pretty smart and
they take
1:58:59
question authority or they used
to I
1:59:01
don't think they do much
anymore they
1:59:02
just there's not a no this
climate stuff
1:59:05
has been rammed in and I mean
if you
1:59:09
question climate change you
deny it
1:59:11
you're basically denying the
Holocaust I
1:59:13
mean where were you where all
this has
1:59:14
been taking place this is you
cannot
1:59:17
question science is in how many
times do
1:59:20
we have to tell the children
this that's
1:59:23
okay if you want to believe and
we've
1:59:25
believed in all kinds of crazy
science
1:59:26
like we went to the moon in
1965 you're
1:59:30
mudding your own water my point
is when
1:59:34
you tell the children you're
going to
1:59:35
die from something because
nothing's
1:59:39
been done about it that's a
whole that's
1:59:41
next-level stuff and that's
where we're
1:59:43
at where we're at today and
it's going
1:59:45
to affect it's affecting
children the
1:59:47
joke of it to me and I think in
some
1:59:50
ways to you and everybody that
listens
1:59:52
the show is nuclear energy yeah
now is
1:59:57
the technology that yeah I was
thinking
2:00:00
about this for possibly another
book
2:00:02
that I'm not gonna write most
every
2:00:06
technology that ever shows up
is always
2:00:08
dangerous when it first shows
up I mean
2:00:10
steam all technology ste all
technology
2:00:14
steam is a good example they
were
2:00:15
blowing up boilers field were
dying left
2:00:17
and right from boiler
explosions from
2:00:19
the 1800s throughout the 1800s
and I
2:00:22
took a long time to tame the
the steam
2:00:25
demon yeah nuke was not very
safe the
2:00:30
way it was being handled by
General
2:00:32
Electric and some of these
other guys
2:00:33
but those problems have been
solved
2:00:37
including including the waste
yeah
2:00:40
everything has been solved so
you could
2:00:42
use it's the cleanest form of
energy and
2:00:44
if you're all-in on climate
change in
2:00:45
you don't you're not I don't
have a
2:00:48
problem with somebody's all in
on
2:00:49
climate change but what the
problem I
2:00:51
have is that they were all in
high
2:00:52
climate change weren't they all
in on
2:00:54
nuclear energy because this was
another
2:00:58
great campaign it started with
the China
2:01:01
Syndrome and Three Mile Island
lovely
2:01:03
plans
2:01:04
right within a week of each
other with
2:01:06
Hollywood we are all going to
die from
2:01:09
nuclear and Ina syndrome was a
fictional
2:01:12
story yeah and it was released
in the
2:01:14
same week that three miles of
Three Mile
2:01:16
Island hangovers that's
absolutely true
2:01:19
yes it is it is true we've even
2:01:22
discussed this on the show and
I think
2:01:23
you said the same thing or no
if it was
2:01:25
like now it's three days every
time I
2:01:27
heard that yes within three
days with
2:01:29
him three visit yeah it was
yeah but if
2:01:33
you look at all of the the
nuclear
2:01:35
disasters we've had and
Chernobyl I
2:01:38
think really is the worst but
because
2:01:40
that was a military grade
installation
2:01:43
which exploded and and but it's
not that
2:01:46
many people died and I think
you know
2:01:48
low 20s of course all that all
of your
2:01:52
entire country of France is run
by a
2:01:55
whole string of nuclear power
plants
2:01:59
they're all over the place and
they
2:02:03
bitch about him
2:02:03
they've nobody's died from any
of them
2:02:06
they've haven't had any
problems there
2:02:07
they're low they're not the
highest you
2:02:09
know most efficient but there
were the
2:02:13
ones that are the most
practical and
2:02:15
they're gonna shut those down
because of
2:02:17
these idiots yeah that my
crona's Manu
2:02:21
has already announced that yeah
we're
2:02:23
gonna start dismantling well
Germany did
2:02:25
the same well Jeremy did and
they've
2:02:27
cost of energy was skyrocketing
the
2:02:30
economies who actually went to
a kind of
2:02:32
flatlined yep
2:02:34
no instead we're going to get
projects
2:02:36
that test aerosols in the air
and let's
2:02:39
see if we can reflect the Sun
in the
2:02:43
back and so we it doesn't warm
up here
2:02:45
and the you know chemtrails
basically
2:02:47
the Geo geoengineering
2:02:50
until dust I got stuff in the
show knows
2:02:52
people who look at it go watch
the movie
2:02:55
snowpiercer that's where it
ends up
2:02:57
there you go
2:02:59
you
2:03:02
um see one last thing but yeah
I got a
2:03:05
couple let me get this out of
the way
2:03:06
sure cuz we're talking about
scammers I
2:03:08
forgot about this one this was
a this is
2:03:13
that this is a whatever
happened to I
2:03:15
have this but you have a new
thing on
2:03:17
the show I have another one
2:03:18
mine is whatever happened to
okay you
2:03:23
know like this is these are
clips from
2:03:25
like two three four or five
years ago
2:03:27
that were scandalous things and
I'm
2:03:30
asking what ever happened to
they don't
2:03:32
even talk about this stuff
anymore
2:03:34
let's do charity fraud for us
cancer
2:03:37
charities are being accused of
massive
2:03:39
fraud the Federal Trade
Commission says
2:03:40
the groups funneled some 187
million
2:03:43
dollars into top officials
pockets the
2:03:46
charities are the Cancer Fund
of America
2:03:47
Cancer Support Services
Children's
2:03:50
Cancer Fund of America and the
Breast
2:03:52
Cancer Society it could be one
of the
2:03:54
largest charity fraud cases of
all time
2:03:58
whatever happened
2:04:02
ever happens not only 15
whatever
2:04:04
happened but nothing no follow
of it
2:04:06
here's another one here's
another
2:04:07
whatever happened is Bank
scandal Bank
2:04:10
scandal or down right before
the end of
2:04:13
the closing day so they were
actually
2:04:15
able to manipulate the currency
market
2:04:18
this is actually an antitrust
case so
2:04:21
these banks are guilty of
colluding to
2:04:23
manipulate to the foreign
exchange
2:04:25
market and it's very rare that
you see a
2:04:27
financial institution that
actually has
2:04:30
to plead guilty to any charges
must let
2:04:33
an antitrust charge so it
sounds as if
2:04:35
there's no question the people
involved
2:04:37
knew what they were doing was
wrong was
2:04:39
illegal what about higher-ups
Carrie
2:04:42
Geiger did they know what was
going on
2:04:44
and if they didn't why not well
I mean
2:04:47
this ferret this calls into the
question
2:04:49
of basically how banks
compliance works
2:04:52
and banks these Wall Street
banks are
2:04:53
huge giant operations and it
looks like
2:04:56
that the senior executive at
these banks
2:04:58
did not know this activity was
going on
2:05:00
I'm sure if they did it would
have been
2:05:02
stopped because they don't want
any
2:05:04
legal activity happening in
their banks
2:05:06
but the larger problem is that
it's
2:05:08
become virtually impossible as
we've
2:05:10
seen over the last couple years
with all
2:05:12
these enforcement actions
against Wall
2:05:15
Street so police every
individual that's
2:05:17
working in these banks oh we
just can't
2:05:19
do that we can't police
everybody no
2:05:21
only for stupid slaves at home
we can
2:05:23
police you yeah whatever
happened to it
2:05:26
nothing by the way as I
continue this
2:05:31
series yes that will be the
answer to
2:05:33
all of that I will have my
answer ready
2:05:36
for your series I look forward
to it and
2:05:40
before we take our break to
thank some
2:05:42
people here a word about and
you this is
2:05:46
another thing you always put in
the in
2:05:48
the newsletter and I don't
think we'd
2:05:50
discuss it regularly or yet
regular
2:05:53
enough and that is advertising
on the
2:05:57
internet and how we made a
conscious
2:05:59
decision not to do that we have
content
2:06:02
creation decisions production
decisions
2:06:05
we don't want anyone to tell us
what we
2:06:06
can or can't do which you when
when you
2:06:08
bow to the god advertiser you
are locked
2:06:11
in you just you cannot
2:06:14
and get around that but New York
2:06:16
magazine finally did a little
bit of
2:06:19
work in their December 26th
edition how
2:06:24
much of the Internet is fake
turns out a
2:06:27
lot of it actually and this is
a very
2:06:29
end another actually at whatever
2:06:31
happened to you recall the
eight people
2:06:34
accused of click fraud thirty
six
2:06:37
million dollars with bought
traffic that
2:06:40
masqueraded as humans it was a
couple
2:06:42
weeks ago yeah it happens all
the time
2:06:44
so this this article it
happened to yes
2:06:48
I'll give you the gist the head
of the
2:06:50
paragraph headlines that said
that
2:06:52
they're dealing with it's worth
reading
2:06:53
no agenda producers know what
it is so a
2:06:57
lot of its fake the metrics are
fake the
2:06:59
people are fake the businesses
are fake
2:07:01
the content is fake our
politics are
2:07:04
fake we ourselves are in fact
pretty
2:07:06
fake and it's a good article it
explains
2:07:09
exactly what is wrong with
advertising
2:07:11
on the Internet and one of
these days
2:07:13
I'll be able to explain in
great deal
2:07:16
great detail what I mean when I
say you
2:07:19
cannot monetize the network
imagine all
2:07:24
the people who could do with us
oh yeah
2:07:27
[Music]
2:07:34
we you can't monetize the
network we can
2:07:40
monetize no agenda show because
we have
2:07:42
producers that help us pay the
bills
2:07:45
starting with sir Matthew Black

remember
2:08:03

hey by the
2:09:26
way I got a Christmas gift for

box and
2:09:32
I'm like oh my god it's it's
it's a gift
2:09:34
from John it was wrapped and
everything
2:09:36
yeah it was a gift from me no
it wasn't
2:09:39
it says it on the outside I
scribbled a
2:09:42
little note on the outside I
couldn't
2:09:44
find a note I said a little
notices that
2:09:47
Merry Christmas Adam oh and it
was a
2:09:48
huge like as big as my head no
agenda
2:09:51
mug yeah I had it made
2:09:53
it's great thank you very much
and I
2:09:55
feel like a heel you should
yeah man if
2:09:58
there was Jay who did the
wrapping it
2:10:01
was beautiful in fact we saved
the
2:10:03
ribbon
2:10:03
let her rip she'll appreciate
it we wear
2:10:07
ribbon savers Mimi and and Jay
are the
2:10:10
most amazing gift wrapper said
they got
2:10:13
Mimi got into it some years ago
and her
2:10:14
gift wrapping is ridiculous
infectious
2:10:16
spend days on it and Jay
decided to top
2:10:19
it so she's doing all these
ridiculous
2:10:21
wrap jobs and that's very funny
2:10:25
Mimi has this idea and I know
it would
2:10:27
actually work is set up a
pop-up store
2:10:29
in Beverly Hills during the
Christmas
2:10:31
wrapping station yeah mm-hmm do
do
2:10:35
laborat yes yes
2:10:40
pricing would be an issue how
much
2:10:42
should price these 20 bucks
when I guess
2:10:45
20 bucks might work in Beverly
Hills 20
2:10:47
bucks I think could be higher

surprise
2:14:38

would pretty
2:14:45
much eat everything well see he
switched
2:14:47

switched
2:14:49
because that so many people
came in on

doing this and with big money
and they
2:14:53
kind of took his business away
from him
2:14:55
he moved to Colorado I think he
moved to

quick note
2:18:08
in this flu season as
everyone's being
2:18:12
told to go and get your flu
shot okay
2:18:16
don't get your flu shot get
your flu
2:18:17
shot this didn't get a lot of
play and
2:18:19
it's kind of sad because he's
quite
2:18:20
young senator
2:18:27
Jose Peralta New York State
2:18:31
was a big proponent of the flu
vaccine
2:18:36
flu shot and he in fact he yet
he did a
2:18:41
huge push to get everyone to
get the flu
2:18:43
shot he got his own flu shot on
November
2:18:47
20th and four days later he died
2:18:51
and what happened is he became
septic No
2:18:58
I don't want to blame this on
the flu
2:18:59
shot but man that sucks
2:19:03
yeah yeah blame it on the flu
shot
2:19:06
yeah just saying one of those
things you
2:19:08
people Tamiflu and there was an
update
2:19:11
to an old friend of ours the
Smith Mont
2:19:13
act well let's put it this way
there's
2:19:16
an update in news around it and
the
2:19:19
Smith Mont act was brought in
was
2:19:22
brought in the 80s I believe
and what
2:19:26
the Smith Mont Acts basically
said is as
2:19:28
law the United States government
2:19:32
propagandize its own people so
it's okay
2:19:36
if you have Voice of America
overseas
2:19:37
and you're you know you're
broadcasting
2:19:39
propaganda to Russia and China
wherever
2:19:43
we have all the VOA stations
but you
2:19:45
can't do it to your American
audience
2:19:47
now it is true that no matter
what if
2:19:51
Americans saw it because they
sought it
2:19:54
out themselves that was deemed
okay but
2:19:57
now there is a congressional
issue as it
2:20:02
appears Voice of America which
is
2:20:05
completely funded by the US
government
2:20:07
the broadcast Board of
Governors is
2:20:09
violating the Smith Munt Act
and is
2:20:12
interesting because I've seen
this and
2:20:13
didn't didn't even hit me but
luckily
2:20:15
someone in Congress is doing
something
2:20:17
about it and has turned it over
to the
2:20:19
Attorney General
2:20:20
they have been advertising on
Facebook
2:20:23
about their Voice of America
services
2:20:26
and they actually they pulled
out the
2:20:30
you know there was a request
for all of
2:20:32
the ads that they've purchased
on
2:20:34
Facebook and they're targeting
them at
2:20:36
Americans in American States by
American
2:20:40
age ranges and they're in
trouble now I
2:20:44
don't know what kind of trouble
they're
2:20:45
gonna get in but at least it's
being
2:20:46
raised yeah the trouble is a
slap on the
2:20:50
wrist
2:20:52
more content recent Voice of
America has
2:20:55
run in the Democratic Republic
of Congo
2:20:59
from promoted and promoted I
can just
2:21:06
stop there you know enough
2:21:08
ya know enough it's how it
works and
2:21:11
even though it was repealed in
2012 as a
2:21:13
part of the 2013 National
Defense
2:21:15
Authorization Act you still
even though
2:21:18
if you find it on the internet
it's okay
2:21:19
but you're it's not okay for
them to be
2:21:21
targeting Americans to read
this so
2:21:25
violation
2:21:28
though I have there was there
talking
2:21:30
about on Democracy Now they
were talking
2:21:33
about Madison poor guidance
Shanahan
2:21:37
again took over but instead of
putting
2:21:40
it in a positive positive spin
of course
2:21:43
they won't do that it just
deposit of
2:21:45
spin which we would put it in
which is
2:21:47
that you got a guy is Big Shot
from
2:21:48
Boeing right that can may be
doing out
2:21:50
it may be get to the bottom of
the maybe
2:21:52
budget yeah maybe do some
important
2:21:55
stuff like cyber satellites and
missiles
2:21:57
there's a million possibilities
that are
2:21:59
positive but no democracy now
doesn't
2:22:01
see things that way and I want
you Rudy
2:22:02
let's start with when I say
talk to you
2:22:06
about Boeing what do you think
about
2:22:09
what do you think mostly never
they make
2:22:11
giant Playhouse injure planes
that's
2:22:13
what that's what most people
would think
2:22:14
of yes yeah okay well let's
play this
2:22:17
clip Manish Shanahan Boeing the
break
2:22:20
for the richest Americans and
President
2:22:22
Trump says improving the
economy and now
2:22:24
the stock market has plummeted
back to
2:22:27
the depression times explain
well you
2:22:30
know we've had an economy that
never
2:22:32
really is strong one it's one
no you you
2:22:37
playing Richard Wolff dn1 I'm
sorry what
2:22:40
did you tell me to play mattis
2:22:42
Shanahan's bowling god I'm so
sorry
2:22:44
positive here we go uh we'll
take it
2:22:48
again from the top after growing
2:22:49
increasingly angry with his
defense
2:22:51
chief Trump said mattis will
leave on
2:22:53
January 1st he previously been
expected
2:22:55
to retire at the end of
February to
2:22:58
attend a NATO meeting Patrick
Shanahan
2:23:01
will become Acting Secretary of
Defense
2:23:03
Shanahan is a former executive
at the
2:23:05
u.s. weapons manufacturer
Boeing why did
2:23:12
you say aerospace and defense
which
2:23:14
would be the actual term yeah
2:23:17
now weapons man you reckon
killing
2:23:20
machine maker yes Judy no
what's her
2:23:25
name Amy Amy yes Amy Amy that
with the
2:23:29
permanent vocal fry in case you
missed
2:23:32
it that's our number one foam
finger
2:23:34
industry killing machines yep
it is
2:23:38
so she brought on this this dis
2:23:40
economist from one of the
schools and
2:23:42
he's a Trump hater and she and
this is
2:23:44
where this is a clip you just
played
2:23:45
before the guy he makes an
assertion
2:23:49
about you if you were Trump you
wouldn't
2:23:51
even passing economics 101
again I was
2:23:54
one which isn't fine but I want
to play
2:23:57
two clips from him more I don't
think he
2:23:59
could pass it either okay I
start with
2:24:01
this clip one the break for the
richest
2:24:05
Americans and President Trump
says he
2:24:07
was improving the economy and
now the
2:24:09
stock market has plummeted back
to the
2:24:11
Depression times explain well
you know
2:24:15
we've had an economy that never
really
2:24:17
escaped the crash of 2008 in a
way the
2:24:21
last ten years have been an
economy on
2:24:23
life support vast amounts of
money
2:24:25
pumped into the economy record
drops and
2:24:28
interest rates in diving
everybody
2:24:31
business individuals
governments to
2:24:33
borrow money a debt sustained
2:24:36
situation and after a while you
can't
2:24:39
mount up the debt on the basis
of an
2:24:41
economy that hasn't really
gotten going
2:24:44
and we're seeing the eventual
break you
2:24:47
know the the capitalist system
has a
2:24:51
downturn every four to seven
years it's
2:24:53
had that for centuries and the
last big
2:24:56
downturn was 2008 and nine so
if you do
2:24:58
four and stuff you add the 3 to
the 1
2:25:10
times 5 you get 33 he says you
have a
2:25:13
downturn every 4 to 7 years
that's
2:25:17
almost double look at 2009 and
you add 4
2:25:21
plus 7 he just threw that in
there it
2:25:24
just makes it up what you don't
add the
2:25:28
numbers it's you four or seven
so this
2:25:32
played out so you have his
assertion
2:25:34
about not passing economics 1
and the
2:25:38
last big downturn was 2008 and
9 so if
2:25:41
you do four and seven you edit
the nine
2:25:43
we're due for one and every
major stock
2:25:46
market observer Bank and so on
predicts
2:25:49
that we're having a downturn so
it's
2:25:51
really only a question of
exactly when
2:25:53
and the stock market
anticipates this
2:25:56
and so we're having in a way
economic
2:25:59
chickens coming home to roost
and the
2:26:01
notion that it's just the feds
policy
2:26:03
that explains this is really
the kind of
2:26:06
remark that would get a student
a very
2:26:08
low grade in any economics
course I
2:26:15
guess maybe it's math that kind
of lower
2:26:18
spread yeah but he does have an
2:26:20
economics issue at the next
clip which i
2:26:23
think is just even better but
Richard
2:26:25
why if over the last 10 years
of the
2:26:28
Federal Reserve kept interest
rates too
2:26:30
low and provided so much cheap
money and
2:26:32
why has an inflation increased
2:26:35
dramatically in the US over
this period
2:26:37
of time well you know the irony
is it's
2:26:39
one of it is our ways an
economy works
2:26:41
there was no incentive to take
all that
2:26:44
money and go in and produce
things that
2:26:47
might have driven up prices and
so on
2:26:50
what if you produce things you
would put
2:26:55
a glut it would it would reduce
prices
2:26:57
it wouldn't push prices up and
such who
2:27:02
is this guy this guy's Richard
Wolff wo
2:27:05
LFE and he is like an economist
is one
2:27:08
of the schools back east
2:27:10
and it's like everything he
says is like
2:27:14
that it's like nobody's nobody
knows
2:27:18
notes nobody knows it's like
it's back
2:27:21
to our n nobody I'm talking
about basic
2:27:23
economic theory that you're
taught in
2:27:25
college yeah supply and demand
yes
2:27:27
that's a supply increases the
price goes
2:27:30
down not a doesn't go up not in
his book
2:27:34
and such which is another thing
that
2:27:36
your by the way there and such
and such
2:27:39
I think we just add that to
everything
2:27:42
and such and such you can just
end the
2:27:45
end a sentence listen I'm not
having any
2:27:47
of this and such such and such
2:27:51
adios mofos and such yeah it
works
2:27:54
everywhere you can put it in
everything
2:27:55
yeah that's great it's one of
the best
2:27:58
yeah that the Mark Levin the
radio guy
2:28:02
he always says and so on and so
forth
2:28:04
you can say yeah there's this
this
2:28:06
pillows got feathers and so on
and so
2:28:09
forth and such and such' get
the combo
2:28:12
and so on and so forth and such
I think
2:28:14
the combo is the way to go
maybe get a
2:28:18
job in radio yes a lot of dogs
Britain
2:28:28
the United Kingdom gitmo nation
East is
2:28:31
now forbidding puppies and
kittens from
2:28:33
being sold by pet shops what
yes the
2:28:37
government said it will roll
out the
2:28:38
legislation next year there's a
95
2:28:41
percent support for the ban
here we have
2:28:44
a quote this is 95 percent
support yes
2:28:47
this will mean that anyone
looking to
2:28:49
buy or adopt a puppy or kitten
under six
2:28:51
months must either deal
directly with
2:28:53
the breeder or with an animal
rehoming
2:28:56
Center animal rehoming yes it's
a gray
2:29:00
really brief animal rehoming
Center with
2:29:04
re and such the Department of
2:29:07
Environment Food and Rural
Affairs Defra
2:29:10
said this on Sunday is a part
of its
2:29:12
Christmas animal welfare push
yes that's
2:29:16
me too much do you know that
people want
2:29:17
a dog a puppy and a kitten and
they
2:29:19
don't really want it and they
get abused
2:29:20
and they toss them out and they
get
2:29:22
mistreated
2:29:24
um this does give me the
opportunity to
2:29:26
the generality well that's what
they
2:29:29
like can't date the Brits I I
did want
2:29:32
to say one thing is we're you
know a
2:29:34
couple months away from moving
out of
2:29:36
downtown Austin for no yes
you're
2:29:39
planning to leave downtown
probably the
2:29:42
one of the Nexus a nexus point
in the
2:29:45
universe and you're living in
it and
2:29:48
you're gonna leave it I'm not
gonna move
2:29:50
that far just need to get out of
2:29:53
downtown two reasons
2:29:55
two big Asians this building is
to
2:29:58
keeping with the dogs or people
to be is
2:30:00
what is known as a pet-friendly
building
2:30:02
it is something you don't want
well I
2:30:05
think that when they when you
start you
2:30:09
have a building like this and
you make
2:30:10
it smoke-free pet friendly do
you
2:30:14
probably expect there to be
people with
2:30:17
dogs yeah but today we I think
we have
2:30:21
about 70% of the apartments in
this
2:30:24
building have dogs okay usually
more
2:30:28
than one oh the problem says
the dog
2:30:32
needs a friend
2:30:33
the problem is every day
everywhere
2:30:37
every entrance every exit for
the garage
2:30:40
the elevators everywhere
there's hair
2:30:43
and dog piss everywhere and of
course
2:30:47
they don't clean every single
day it's
2:30:50
also not feasible really to do
that so
2:30:53
the dogs the the pet owners are
becoming
2:30:57
a problem because they they I
mean it's
2:31:00
really disgusting I'll do a
video I'll
2:31:02
do a video yes everywhere it's
no link
2:31:07
to it in the newsletter yes
I'll make
2:31:10
sure you get that the other
problem has
2:31:13
just been up to once again is
the
2:31:17
ductless mobility craze that
Austin is
2:31:19
ground zero you're right were
at the
2:31:21
Nexus now the Ford Motor
Company who
2:31:24
have spin a rideshare company
dropped
2:31:28
100 extra scooters into the
Austin
2:31:31
streets on Friday with hundreds
more
2:31:32
planned
2:31:34
Jesus scooter overload how many
do you
2:31:37
think we have in downtown
Austin now
2:31:40
today 10,000 Wow 9,000 the City
of
2:31:44
Austin allows each this from
KXAN our
2:31:46
local NBC affiliate the City of
Austin
2:31:50
allows each rideshare company
to have up
2:31:52
to 500 scooters in the downtown
area but
2:31:55
there's no limit on how many
companies
2:31:58
can operate in the city as a
result
2:32:01
there are about 9,000 scooters
licensed
2:32:04
to operate in downtown Austin
operated
2:32:06
by seven major companies which
sounds
2:32:09
kind of wrong doesn't sound
right the
2:32:12
math is if you're allowed to
have 500
2:32:14
yes you'd only be thirty five
hundred
2:32:16
scooters right but there's nine
thousand
2:32:19
now downtown and yesterday I
threw my
2:32:22
first I cast my first one aside
in anger
2:32:25
because I'm pretty I'm pretty
mellow but
2:32:27
it was right in the middle of
the
2:32:29
sidewalk and I and you know now
there's
2:32:30
a Torchy's that's opened up
near our
2:32:33
building you know it's as
upscale shitty
2:32:35
tacos it's a it's a taco place
a taco
2:32:40
place in Texas that's a chain
oh yeah oh
2:32:43
we have tons of chains here huh
yeah
2:32:45
Tour cheese and so never
someone rode
2:32:48
the tortured torture in the
lunch hour
2:32:50
parked and right in the middle
of the
2:32:51
sidewalk I picked it up by its
stem and
2:32:53
threw it in anger against the
wall of
2:32:55
Torchy's and I felt interesting
that I
2:32:59
felt pretty good about it but
they all
2:33:02
have these wires I got to study
him I
2:33:05
got to talk to her friend yeah
our
2:33:08
friend who does this I'm just
gonna
2:33:10
carry along a clipper
2:33:12
just clip the wires oh that's a
funny
2:33:15
idea not if it's the break I
don't know
2:33:19
which I don't like the break
line you
2:33:20
can figure that out what clip
what wire
2:33:22
you want to clip is you guys
you be some
2:33:24
electrical thing we got a clip
something
2:33:25
because it's a scourge yeah
anyway
2:33:30
yay yay Austin whoo so you're
moving to
2:33:33
where though you're say you're
downtown
2:33:35
in the Nexus yeah all the
action so
2:33:37
there's dog pee probably poop
always
2:33:40
that's a lie yep poop the
library is
2:33:43
right near by filled with the
homeless
2:33:45
up with homeless is the
brand-new bridge
2:33:47

2:34:46
listen we're in our 50s neither
of us is
2:34:48
gonna make this as an investment
2:34:51
yeah well let's invest have you
seen the
2:34:53
property taxes
2:34:54
it's worse than California now
2:34:58
so Californians all move to
Austin yeah
2:35:01
come on in here the weather is
better in
2:35:04
Austin
2:35:07
yeah yeah well good luck in
your happy
2:35:10
hunting yeah we'll find
something
2:35:12
we'll find something good yeah
I mean we
2:35:13
don't we don't need much and
we'll
2:35:15
definitely it'll be cheaper for
sure
2:35:17
well that's a plus Austin is I
think now
2:35:20
the most expensive city to live
in
2:35:22
it's ridiculous yes it is
ridiculous
2:35:25
want you to move to New York
City yeah
2:35:28
it's worth considering I mean
that you
2:35:30
can move anywhere and then
maybe but
2:35:32
it's not just the cost it's you
know
2:35:33
it's a douchebaggery that's the
problem
2:35:38
yeah well I think you're
adapting to the
2:35:41
Texas lifestyle yeah yes I
don't want to
2:35:46
be I don't want my Texas
lifestyle
2:35:48
tainted by California GU yeah
well for
2:35:52
dogs
2:35:53
I've won last Japan begins
whaling again
2:35:58
I think that is a story that we
need to
2:36:00
follow yeah I saw big headlines
about it
2:36:02
Japan says it will quit the
2:36:04
International Whaling
Commission and
2:36:05
resume commercial whale hunting
for the
2:36:08
first time in 30 years Japanese
2:36:10
officials say whale stocks have
2:36:12
recovered sufficiently something
2:36:14
wildlife groups dispute the new
hunts
2:36:16
will be limited to Japan's
territorial
2:36:18
waters and will not extend to
the
2:36:20
Antarctic No okay so so that's
their own
2:36:25
water yeah they do whatever
they want I
2:36:28
think so what do they use
though though
2:36:30
what is that besides that oh
it's sad
2:36:33
we're killing whales what is
the what is
2:36:34
so important about whaling what
is used
2:36:36
of fat and some of that a lot
of their
2:36:38
cosmetics okay and they eat the
meat
2:36:45
and they don't care are they
are whales
2:36:47
in are they in extinction mode
the
2:36:51
Japanese claim they're they're
back on
2:36:53
track to to propagating and the
whaling
2:36:56
authorities say no they're not
so we
2:36:59
don't know the facts okay it
does make a
2:37:03
lot of people hate the Japanese
again
2:37:05
well yeah it does
2:37:10
European Union parliament
member forget
2:37:14
her name Rhys I think her name
is is on
2:37:17
a on a mission to get rid of
the use of
2:37:21
single-use plastics this is a
European
2:37:24
Union mandate that will be
coming down
2:37:28
the pike to all the Nationals
at the
2:37:30
national state level you will
not be
2:37:31
able to purchase or consume
single-use
2:37:34
plastics as she explains what
she means
2:37:37
and what that means here but
the kicker
2:37:39
is at the end the effort to end
plastic
2:37:42
pollution in our oceans was one
of the
2:37:44
key themes of 2018 with
European Union
2:37:47
lawmakers ending the year with
an
2:37:48
agreement to ban certain
single-use
2:37:51
plastics by 2021 Belgian MEP
Frederic
2:37:54
Rees is behind the law cutting
bad
2:37:59
straws I should have started
with the
2:38:02
straws the plates are going to
be bent
2:38:04
and why are they going to be
bent
2:38:06
because there are the articles
that you
2:38:09
must be fond you know on our
beaches in
2:38:11
our oceans and because there are
2:38:14
alternatives a central issue in
the
2:38:17
single use plastic ban is who
is going
2:38:19
to pay the new European
directive means
2:38:22
fishing gear manufacturers will
bear the
2:38:24
costs of collecting nets lost
at sea
2:38:26
rather than the fishermen the
same kind
2:38:29
of principle is being applied
to the
2:38:30
tobacco industry and it's
plastic
2:38:32
cigarette and an estimated 8
million
2:38:34
tons of plastic waste ends up
in the
2:38:36
oceans every year the e use ban
is
2:38:38
significant in terms of setting
a policy
2:38:41
precedent but it won't change
the seas
2:38:43
very much as 90% of the plastic
2:38:45
pollution is believed to come
from 10
2:38:47
rivers 8 in Asia and 2 in Africa
2:38:51
Wow we are so stupid in the
West is a
2:38:58
great clip Africa is polluting
the water
2:39:00
with single-use plastics and we
get
2:39:03
blamed for it and we get shamed
shamed
2:39:06
into using a stronger than
money for
2:39:09
global warming oh my goodness
2:39:11
Africa you know what we're
moving to
2:39:12
Africa I'm gonna find one of
those elite
2:39:14
strongholds where the European
leaders
2:39:16
are all hanging out we're gonna
go live
2:39:17
there it's gonna be safe and
beautiful
