discussing that
on the show today
is great however for a for a
brief
moment yesterday people my
temporary
home was the center of the
universe over
here what that news got over
here I know
I'm totally timing my clips and
you just
jumped right in I'll try again
so we can
edit it later we were the
center of the
universe good evening the world
held its
breath for hours late today
after word
of a possible airplane hijack
drama
unfolding in Amsterdam a signal
mistakenly transmitted from the
cockpit
of a Madrid bound airplane
indicating a
hijack was in progress
triggered a
full-on military and police
response and
reminded us all that when it
comes to
aviation security there is no
taking
chances kelly cobiella starts
us off at
one of the busiest airports in
the world
tonight a major security scare
planes
stranded at gates after Dutch
police got
a hijacking alert from the
cockpit of a
plane that hadn't taken off
flights
delayed parts of the airport
closed
nearly two hours later it was
over the
airline Air Europa explaining
on Twitter
the alert was activated by
mistake
nothing has happened all
passengers are
safe and sound
50 million travelers fly through
Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport
every year
last-minute passengers were
evacuated
after a man claimed to have a
bomb
police arrested a 51 year old
Canadian
but found no explosives tonight
Dutch
military police tell us they're
still
investigating what sparked
today's
hijacking alarm Lester Wright
kelly
cobiella with those anxious
moments
though oh yes thanks very
anxious
moments I was not in the hotel
I was at
Christina's house in Rotterdam
but taxi
Eric was here because he's
always
driving people to and from the
airport
he said he had never seen so
many blue
lights in all the years he's
worked near
the airport he says it
completely filled it was a mess
and
everybody wanted know what's
happening
there were reports that there
were
stabbings and there were the
craziest no
one knew anything and quite
honestly I
was sitting with Christina and
Shanta
we're smoking dope you know
like you
know whatever you know we'll
figure out
later but Eric was texting me
updates
people are sending me emails
like you
okay
and that's always interesting
how that
goes well I appreciate it you
know it's
nice that people think of me in
that way
we got a little bit of
information
within an hour or so on CNN
I'll play a
bit of this you know there's an
emergency involving one of its
planes
military says passengers and
crew are
safely off the plane I've
taught it's
called a suspicious situation
aboard an
aircraft emergency services had
flocked
to the airport and there was a
major
incident underway kick
robertson is
following this in London and
Nick I
forgive you that you like to
enjoy of
telling us what air europa says
was the
reason why are you Reaper says
that it
was a mistake onboard the
aircraft that
the warning that it was
triggered by
mistake of warning was
triggered by
mistake at this point that's
where I'm
tuning out I'm like okay they
have no
idea what they're talking about
so I do
know what happened and it's
it's really
it's an odd one and it's stupid
but also
odd on every aircraft that fly
is
certainly commercial you have a
transponder and the transponder
is a
little box that has four digits
on it's
very simple and the transponder
you're
asked to set a code in there
and that's
what then radar can read that
and and
identify you by the code they
just gave
you so my plane would be you
know eight
five to nine and when you see
under
radar yes flight or flight
radar exactly
and the Box also broadcast
position at
broadcasts
air speed altitude etc this box
the way
you activate it is you there's
really
two they're two models kind of
and one
is you'll set each number when
just
tapping up or down literally
like an up
or down button and then you
press
another button and it's
activated
there's the newer models I
would say or
just different models you
really only
have to type in the four digits
and then
when you hit the fourth one it
it starts
to broadcast with that code
there are a
couple of special codes one is
seven
thousand seven zero zero zero
which is
used pretty much universally
around the
world there's a lot of people
just
flying under visual flight
rules so
Cessnas and stuff like that and
so as
long as they can see that
there's that
there's a lot of seven
thousands and
keep them away from each other
than
everything's good so you don't
really to
know specifics about those
aircraft but
we also have 7700 which is an
emergency
so you know it's going down you
hit 7700
and as soon as you're calling
on the
radio 7600 is if you have if
you can't
communicate with your radio
doesn't
necessarily mean you have an
emergency
but then they can say okay they
have a
radio problem 7500 is hijack so
the
story that I got locally was
the captain
of Air Europa was showing an
intern huh
stuff in the cockpit which
sounds really
sketchy so if he I can just
imagine the
guy uh captain captain Mary
Oprah here
let me just show you he
pressing gives
us an emerge a Kyle show you
what we do
baby
we just hit 7500 and he did
that and it
start broadcasting 7500 so that
shows up
on the radar and that's just
you know
there's no calling down to say
hey hey
everything okay on that hijack
now
there's none of that it's an
immediate
they go to we learned a new
code here in
Holland crisp three I've never
heard of
this is like a DEFCON three or
something
for Dutch style and they called
out
everybody and and and so purely
just a
captain showing off to some
intern
well I think
- the writers out there here we
go
you punched that code in by
accident
with this cock-and-bull story
and then
after about 10 5 minutes or 10
minutes
and all the cops are headed
your way
you've robbed a bank
I should have checked the news
for
anything else going on banks
were robbed
but it is strange I did talk to
a
journalist here who I know this
morning
and he said you know it's
really odd
Adam though because we we got
very
credible reports from people
who really
know what's going on at the
airport that
there were three people
arrested for
some stabbings as you know we
can't get
any knows no confirmation or
denial so
I'll just leave that for what
it is but
you know that's like two sources
removing is a cover-up for the
stabbings
it could be it could be I mean
it's easy
enough any button can go in and
you know
talk to the captain and say
look we're
punching these numbers in just
gonna
shut up about it but anyway
that was it
so it was it was apparent it
was odd how
that how it spread so quickly
you know
stuff happens all over the
world all the
time I don't remember the world
holding
its breath for two hours in
Europe they
did in your bed Lester Holt had
it in
Europe they held their breath
did they
broke into the news they
immediately
stopped game shows it was great
like oh
we got something besides
impeach Trump
well and I wanted to have a
little
report of what's going on I've
been
paying attention
maybe I should first say that
I'm over
here celebrating 100 years of
radio in
the Netherlands which they
celebrated
quite quite big I mean is every
station
had some tribute or something
going on
and it was the public
broadcaster who I
originally worked for way back
in the
day who flew me in to be a part
of this
one show and I basically spent
time
hanging out with some of these
older
DJ's you know they're in their
70s I
figured huh I hang out with
them for a
bit and then maybe when I'm an
old an
old geezer he'll come visit me
so it was
you know kind of nice to
reconnect but I
had a lot of time also to watch
all news channels and I have to
tell you
there is not a lot of Trump
news in the
EU right now it's it's it's as
if it
just doesn't matter and it
probably
doesn't they have so much going
on here
with climate crisis that's the
top news
which of course we hear almost
nothing
about in the US well not to the
extreme
of extinction rebellion oh yeah
oh no
extinction rebellion there is a
lot that
they're talking about here
couple things
so we'll get the climate crisis
in a
moment the Dutch schools now
this is a
socialist country now it's a
democracy
with a monarchy and their
socialist it's
a fantastic combination the
result is
that it's really nothing works
the big
three it really is and I was
watching a
talk show last night and you
know the
teachers are rarely satisfied
but they
are there's a shortage right
now of 6600
teachers you know people just
don't want
to go into the into the
profession
anymore and when you heard these
teachers talking about what the
profession is these days I
don't can't
blame people and I had her I
made a note
of this a couple weeks ago when
a friend
of mine was in town his
daughter who's
it also a teacher she was
telling me
some of this but was nice to
see the
talk show these schools are like
computerized zombie factories
the
teachers have to keep profiles
of every
student and have to make sure
that any
other they have two check boxes
all day
long if the student is paying
attention
or not paying attention
they say there's so much work
that they
have to do administratively
just to make
sure the kids are okay and of
course
there's kids who are slower
learning are
forced to be in the same
classroom as
the kids who are on a normal
curriculum
and so teachers have to split
their
times it's it's a mess it's
trying to
make everybody happy at the
same time
and all this spying basically
on the
kids it's very odd so they're
gonna go
on strike they can't do it
anymore
they've classes of 50 kids and
that's a
lot
so there's no teaching involved
in the
profession anymore no it's no
the
teaching and this is the
complaint it's
like they're really relegated
to data
input as they observe these
children
because the the testing is all
comes
from the computer they're doing
all the
scores you know everything's
done
through the computer the
curriculum is
from the computer they can't
really
deviate from the curriculum and
you know
they say well I have ideas
about how I
want to teach kids about a
certain
subject it's like no no you got
to
follow it's basically like
common core
plus wow it's really bad
hmm so healthcare which as you
know is
kind of a version of Obamacare
here
where everything is socialized
it is a
giant Medicare but you still
get your
insurance for it very cheaply I
think
it's a hundred and thirty-five
euros but
you know per person it's a
really quite
quite cheap on a monthly basis
for what
per month per person per month
it's over
a hundred euros a month yes so
it's
$1,200 per person per per year
for our
1200 euros every year yeah
that's not cheap it's only
socialized
medicine to me sounds like 10%
of what I
pay well not the fact that
you're
getting ripped off okay but but
it is
socialized at the where and
this is what
they're running into so first
of all
doctors are leaving I think
we've talked
about this because in order to
have all
doctors working and make it all
fair or
whatever the hell it is
everybody works
32 hours a week so but you get
paid for
32 hours a week so like and
people it's
not enough it's not enough to
get by and
now because they they buy all
the
medication centrally there's a
shortage
of masses of medicine there's
like a
pipeline problem yeah well you
know we
never want to order too much in
advance
we were negotiating in the
contract and
people can't get really simple
things
like lipitor and you know the
other you
know I didn't specifically
mention blood
pressure medication just really
normal
stuff over the counter
it's backlogged and people
can't get it
and they go to the Appetit
curry and
it's like no sorry you didn't
come back
there's no generics no no's no
brand
names nothing
something else people never
think about
when the government runs it
what happens
if fell a glitch occurs in
their supply
chain
it sounds like well I think some
governments could probably do a
better
job
for sure the Dutch good it's
just when
you think of the Dutch you
don't think
of these types of problems then
it's
it's kind of eye-opening
I guess the Dutch in a way to
most
countries outside of Europe you
know to
Americans certainly kind of
back up
Scandinavians yeah they look a
bit like
I'm so-and-so you don't expect
that
let's see what else oh yes
wouldn't
expect it no so then we get
into I mean
this country's has problem
after problem
so the farmers I I tell you
great pains
to understand the issues and it
was and
everyone has a slightly
different
explanation but I can give you
the short
version first which is the
farmers were
told to do everything a certain
way to a
lot of them are only making hay
and
literally just hay so it's just
grass
and they can't really mean that
just be
making hay on it for so long
that the
there's not much left to build
you know
you have to you know the whole
soil is
just poor and they've been
doing that
for you know five or ten years
and then
all of a sudden the government
turned
around and said well now we're
changing
the rules and well you've
produced too
much and I have to cut
everything back
by 50% so that's why there
that's the
basis of them being so pissed
off it's
like a when you told us what to
do and
then you turn it around and are
you
gonna chop everything in half
and that's
literally their business gets
chopped in
half according to the CEO two
numbers
that they are are not allowed
to be
producing some of the details
of that is
the way they've measured the
co2 if at
all but lots of farm lands in
the
Netherlands you've driven
through the
country highways go right
through it so
there's a lot of co2 around
these areas
because of the highway not
because of
the land use so there's that
argument
and then the construction
sector and
this is like it's as if someone
in
Holland in the government wants
to bring
the country into recession they
came up
with this crazy number of PFS
now P fast
PFA ap FAS I guess is what we
would call
hydro fluoride hydrocarbons
Florek
carbon
life pflueger's something like
that it's
a pflueger's Lucas it's like
the town
like - come on Giggy
what's the Teflon yeah that's
the what's
Teflon made of it's not you
mention it
Lucas
we'll get back to it it's made
of Lucas
so you know this so that's in
the ground
everywhere yeah yeah because
it's the
Netherlands it's industrial
waste you
know in America when we have
industrial
wastes we're much smarter about
it we
buy it from the factories and
then we
turn it into pure fluoride and
slap it
into our drinking water in
Holland they
don't do that they just turn
you know
put it into the water yes
Teflon is poly tetra fluoro
ethylene
yeah some of that stuff ATF
yeah yes
yeah PTFE so I think normally
like a
hundred micrograms per kilogram
is
acceptable and that's pretty
much what
Germany has I think that's the
number I
know that the difference is in
scale
that now the Dutch government
said we
you know you really can't do
anything if
there's zero point one microgram
microgram per kilogram in the
ground and
if there is you can't go
digging in it
but you know apparently there's
zero
point one microgram of this
stuff
everywhere and so that is halted
construction halted all these
permits
and so they're now talking
about special
payments for people who are out
of a job
because of this decision
they've made it
sounds wack well the only way I
can
explain it is with climate
change number
first of all it's the only
thing you
hear about until pretty much
what you're
hearing about continuously
throughout
the day they sure taking the
concept of
climate crisis seriously well
the net
see here's the thing ever since
the
European Union really came at
to came to
being as an institution that
runs the
show the Dutch political class
and I'm
sure it's the same for the
Germans in
the French etc they now no
longer have
this ceiling you know you could
get to
be Prime Minister and you know
then what
else
now everybody they all want to
be in
Europe that's where the real
power is
and so you can see how they're
all
lobbying remember our guy from
steamer
mounds he was trying to become
the new
Starfleet commander
that's that's they all want to
jump off
of that that that springboard
of Dutch
politics into Europe so they
can be the
boss there and so for this
reason
they're making all these really
you know
climate conscious decisions but
they're
going overboard for instance I
didn't
even realize it but you cannot
operate
as a taxi at Schiphol unless
your
battery car that's why there's
all these
Tesla's I didn't realize that
bid has
been in effect for almost two
years so
you if you have a just a
regular taxi
and it's not electric and you
can't even
park there and pick up
customers that's
one can you drop people off yes
you can
drop people off but that'll be
forbidden
to I mean you're already in the
process
it foregone conclusion oh yeah
already
in parts of Amsterdam you drive
into the
city and it says if you have a
diesel
older than 2009 you're not
allowed in so
and yeah of course they scan
you and
they'll get you immediately if
you do do
it
they are lowering well it's not
done yet
but because of this crisis all
of a
sudden which really didn't seem
to exist
except they made up some new
numbers and
it became a crisis they're now
talking
about lowering the speed limit
from 130
kilometers per hour to a
hundred do you
have any idea what this does to
a
country when you say this kind
of stuff
people freaked out over that
it's like
then what is the what is the
equivalents
on those kilometer per hour
numbers so
it's 1.85 so I just put it in
the
machine okay hey John put it in
the in
the machine how much is 130
miles an
hour
homeowners an hour yeah 80 80
so they
want to bring it back to what
is it
65 62 I'm guessing 62 63
something like
that
the machine is very slow 62.1
there you
go
it's slow but accurate yes so
they want
people to drive it basically 60
miles an
hour instead of 80 yeah that VM
with the
kind of traffic flows and how
long it
takes people to get through
traffic here
anyway that's that's a definite
social
conversation and now they're
talking
about bringing back the car
free Sundays
which I remember when I in the
70s they
had Sunday's where you weren't
allowed
to drive it's just the whole
country did
not it was in the paper today
they want
to bring it back now here's
some other
cool numbers for the climate
emergency
it'll stop climate change
immediately
gone this is seriously what
they're
saying and otherwise of course
we're all
going to die this the number of
electric
vehicles in the Netherlands per
know
thousand people or whatever the
metric
is is more than double that of
any other
country in the EU and for this
little
country smaller than Rhode
Island twenty
five of all charging stations
are of all
charging stations in the
European Union
are in the Netherlands
they're just doing this I can
only see
it as them doing for themselves
sounds
like somebody did a great job
hello Elan
doing some lobbying or creating
this
nonsense this is what marketing
is
really all about by the way
well for
people out there wondering about
marketing this is what
marketing is
about well I'll tell you the
people are
not liking it they are really
not buying
it at all
and we'll see ya there Jack well
probably not but you know
everyone still
is behind the farmers you know
they all
like what the farmers did and
and
there's a massive support for
the
farmers rights if anyone can do
anything
after all it the Dutch
government
brought in the military they
were so
afraid of the farmers coming to
the
Hague now if anyone's gonna do
anything
no then then it might be them
but for
now maybe the Dutch are just
docile as
ever I do have to connect to
this a
couple of climate change things
that
might make sense to just go
into for a
moment well I'm all game we
have a new
reporters out
11,000 scientists worldwide
warning of
catastrophic threats to
humanity 8th and
this is really a fear-mongering
rotation
item what we'd really like to
see though
is governments using the
indicators that
we've reported in our paper the
indicators we put there are
quite broad
and track all of the different
things
that are interlinked with
climate change
and I think these broad
indicators can
help governments to paint a
picture
about how they are dealing with
the
threat of climate change we
outline six
kind of critical key steps that
we think
are necessary to reducing
greenhouse gas
emissions and top of that list
is a
switch or a move away from
fossil fuels
to using more renewable energy
sources
and also one thing that risen
really
isn't considered in detail when
talking
about climate change is human
population
growth and we need to factor in
human
population growth when thinking
about
the policies and government
directions
in dealing with climate change
I think
we're back to eat your babies
because
this is the problem there's too
many
people we're back to the
Population Bomb
yeah I think we've been back to
I think
we were at the Population Bomb
the whole
time
I really left it and I think
climate
change is just another version
of it
well it's it seems to be the
guys still
alive pronouncing saying the
same stuff
nor what net seems it seems to
be the
message once again said up shut
up
slaves there's too many of you
and that
was the what I understood was
eaters yes
that that's what I saw is the
as the
yeah the main driver of this
report is
it has too many people too many
people
so then we have the protests of
course
extinction rebellion is
reasonably well
known here they have they have
some
things going on in the
Netherlands of
course the UK is where it's
really
taking place but we do have a
group in
the United States who was
affiliated
trying to really get some
attention for
this and they this is the fire
drill
Friday's which I think I
mentioned on
the previous show no I did Jane
Fonda is
a member of fire drill Fridays
and they
now yes and now they send out
media
alerts and I have a media alert
here
from you know this is what you
do you
you have a can you buy these
lists or D
is there a central place that
you can
pay to send your media alert to
John
yeah yeah there's about three
or four of
them and what does a lot of
companies
will do it what does that cost
that
expensive to put out a media
advisory no
it's not it's not expensive at
all it's
actually it's pretty cheap so
here's
what it came in for for fire
drill
Friday media media advisory for
action
action action on November 8
Jane Fonda
will risk arrest sounds like
they're
trying to make her sound like
Houdini
she's so brave she'll risk this
is so I
think I said the last time I
really like
Jane Fonda this is a ho so hard
but she
went on the view to talk about
this and
I just had to share this this
clip to
see I mean she's all she's
we're all gonna die and then at
the end
something interesting happens
which I
think Oh take us into another
topic but
are you are you trying to tell
the next
generation coming up go as far
as you
can break the law get arrested
do what
you need to do well I am
following what
the young people are doing I'm
not
telling them they're inspiring
me not
just Greta Doon Berg Berg Berg
this is
the best one ever
and they're inspiring me not
just Greta
dune Berg Greta doom bug doom
burn
they're inspiring me not just
greta dune
burn no it's doom berg there we
go
that's a doom bird I'm telling
them
they're inspiring me not just
greta doom
berg the swedish student but
the sunrise
movement the extinction
movement I mean
all these young people who are
leaving
school to protest their future
that
we're taking from them and
they're a
huge inspiration to me see
these young
people carrying the burden of
protesting
the fossil fuel industry I say
no no
we've got to get out there and
join them
and do it without breaking the
law you
think of all the peaceful
protests that
have led to change I worry
about living
in an uncivil society oh no I
agree with
you but you know something
climate
activists have been doing this
for 40
years we've been writing
articles and
we've been giving speeches then
climate
shame she says climate
activists a bit
doing this for 40 years and the
climate
has not change 40 years we've
been
writing articles and we've been
giving
speeches we've been putting the
facts
out to the American public and
politicians and we've marched
and we've
rallied peacefully and here
comes the
fossil fuel industry is doing
more and
more and more to harm us in our
environment and the our young
people's
futures and so we have to up
the ante
and engage in civil
disobedience which
means risking getting arrested
and
because it's going to require
more
more and more and more people
like all
of you in the streets demanding
even the
scientists nerdy and neutral
but even
the scientists the climate
scientists
sir do you hear what I hear
but did I know what listen
carefully
[Applause]
neutral but is she saying
scientists or
she saying scientists I think
she's
saying a guy played a couple
she's
saying scientists scientists
John she's
been infected Jane Fonda well
she's been
infected with the T drop thing
she's
she's hanging out with doom
Berg and
before you know it you start
speaking
like this nerdy a neutral but
even the
scientists this is we're not
going to be
able to turn it around we have
eleven
years to avoid people just by
the
millions in the streets folks
out there
we only have Olivia eleven
years they've
been doing this for 40 years
have me
only now we have 11 left but to
hear
Jane Fonda
start to drop her T's is
employed well I
this is this was the most
responded to
topic from the last show was we
had a
lot of a lot of a lot of people
I do
have one clip to add to that I
want to
play this clip tell me if you
can figure
out the what might be happening
here
I think I cheated a little bit
mm-hmm
let me find the clip just grab
my clip
list here
and of course I can't find
anything very
slick oh yeah I knew I'm not
pulling at
you but you build up the clip
and then
don't find no build up no build
up here
ladies and gentlemen who build
up
pal brother
no oh don't tell me you forgot
it no I I
just don't see I don't think I
forgot it
okay well go on with your story
well you
keep looking at it maybe hey
people show
up well there was some more
vocal fry'
that identified and then and I
would
like to share a piece a couple
fees
pieces of faeces of peed back
some
pieces let me guess was it
unplugged
yeah that's the one I had
queued up I
guessed it right does it need
to set up
well this is a podcast called
unplugged
and it pretty much like use a
lot of No
Agenda themes and but they're a
little
more or I'd say less serious
generally
speaking and and there's a lot
of tea
dropping on book from both the
female
and the male that they've kind
of flirty
with each other and they but
they
dropped teas all over the place
but I'm
gonna say if you can spot this
one if
you think about this for a
second though
if we thought this about let's
say
Clinton won god forbid and we
thought
that about how she was elected
wouldn't
you understand their outrage
like we be
equally as outraged if we had
lost the
election and we had been told
over and
over again or been misled to
believe
that it was because Clinton was
working
with Russia and Russia hacked
the voting
machines to change the vote
totals oh
absolutely but this one I say
all the
time the the cycle this this is
exam in
hand-in-glove is why
psychological
warfare was important important
important that was very
important
exactly so this is rampant I
have one
more clip to play which is both
a
millennial speak in and a vocal
fry' and
a tea drop it's like it's like
the
triple threat this was a the
new meme
which came from I forget which
actors it
came from it is self partnering
and did
you hear about this fabulous
Emma Watson
Emma Watson Weymouth culture
the woman
you will hear this is on the
BBC the
woman who will be is being
interviewed
is from The Washington Post a
serious
news publications winneth
Paltrow came
up with the term conscious
uncoupling
when she was getting divorced
now we've
got Emma Watson saying she's
self
partnered why this desire to
come up
with a new term to describe
being single
sure I think the word single
sometimes
doesn't convey the richness and
fullness
that can happen in a single
person's
life it doesn't acknowledge the
fact
that a single person might have
really
healthy friendships and family
thinking
about moving because she she's
asked the
question and she says sure
which is
another one of things that we
just think
I just I there was so much I
mean I just
wanted to give you a couple
things to
listen to but yeah this sure
was in
there as well like healthy
friendships
and family and you know here at
the
Washington Post a couple of
years ago we
coined a term so Louis their own
fulfilling relationships beyond
a
partner more euphemistic way of
kind of
describing a state that I mean
you're
still single at the end of the
day you
know it's hard to know why Emma
chose
the term is resonating with
people on
Twitter and stuff sometimes in
a joking
way people saying that you know
they're
gonna tell their nosy relatives
when
they inquire they're dating
lives that
their self partnered but I
think her a
chance to say like no I'm happy
single
and sometimes the word single
can sound
like something is lacking or
that a
person is looking for a partner
and
that's not always the case so
plenty of
single people are happy that
way and
self partnered might be a good
way to
describe that yeah so that was
a combo
Hummer
she's a how much although which
one this
is like one she never stops
making noise
and then she said she said
Twitter and
stuff
yes and read about on Twitter
and stuff
no that's the Washington Post
for you so
we had this conversation about
this tea
dropping and a lot of people
wrote in
and and and here's what
bothered me is
we had only just gone through
this phase
of being excoriated a few years
ago the
people saying I remember that
it was
kind of like oh you know that's
misogynist or that remember
that John
was just a brief moment where
people
were pushing back on it and
then it kind
of went away got pushed away
and and no
one talked about it so I was
very
surprised when we were called
out for
being racist and misogynist
because
that's pretty much what the the
linguists professor said and I
wanted to
play a report that I think we
might have
played from 2013 so only six
years ago
not that long ago and this is
not a
podcast this is CBS CBS this
morning
it's mainstream television this
is how
they dealt with it six years
ago pretty
much the same thing we got
excoriated
for just four days ago
America's young
women are running out of oxygen
what
else could explain why so many
of them
sound like this you know motto
you know motto Kim and Chloe
just don't
get it get it get it believe it
or not
there's a scientific term for
the way a
Kardashian speaks and it's
vocal fry'
it's a low creaky vibration
produced by
a fluttering of the vocal cords
speech
pathologists call it a disorder
that
verges on vocal abuse and
here's what it
looks like
call it a quirk a trend or an
epidemic
vocal fry' is everywhere I'm
not staying
here tonight tonight the only
reason why
I'm going is just like network
network a
recent study of women in
college found
that two-thirds of them use this
globalization which explains
why the fry
is a sizzling topic in The New
York
Times on morning TV you sound
something
like this even for an NPR host
it's
annoying I mean it's really
annoying
when I was a tween in the early
80s the
Bali girl was born she brought
us like
and up talk and there's been
like a
general cultural agreement that
like at
that kind of speech leaves the
user
sounding air heady and
unprofessional
but vocal fry' is unique because
researchers have found that
women who
talk this way are seen by their
peers as
educated urban oriented and
upwardly
mobile you love him I need to
totally
complimented you complemented
you some
linguists even suggest that
creaky young
ladies are evolving our culture
as
linguistic innovators Tyler has
a pretty
good reputation in this business
business
well metaphorically I encourage
every
woman to find her voice I'm
just made at
how low it can go on my
sixteenth
birthday birthday I'm burned
out on the
fry it sounds underwhelmed and
disengaged it's annoying to
listen to a
young woman who sounds
world-weary and
exactly like her 14 best
friends I just
find that very interesting that
this was
kind of dealt with six years
ago and you
ordered everyone was
complaining about
it New York Times NPR everybody
said
this is dumb it makes you sound
dumb and
somehow just no no no no you
can't tell
anyone that's wrong that's just
just
racist
so what was your favorite piece
of
feedback you got from this
dropping of
tea specifically the dropping
of tea
almost everybody the baby my
favourite
fee being just in general or
people
coming and saying I've been in
this
field and this is being taught
as by
this I can sjw thing that's a
sidelight
it's not really true
linguistics weirdo
or on the side of Noam Chomsky
who's the
father of modern linguistics
and this
guy's full of crap and he
shouldn't even
be teaching us kinda stuff you
beginning
but a lot of people said they
don't have
one specifically to read I do
have
something that that guy wrote
that I
thought was funny where he
referred to
one of the wimped one of the
clips of
the women that we played as a
they know
I don't remember that was it
and then
they refer to she they instead
of she
when it's a note when it's a
woman and
we would normally go along with
the
pronator woman's talking the
woman is
the she not of a and then to
assume
there are they this makes this
I mean to
say they without somebody
telling you
their personal pronoun is
violence very
presumptuous the violation of
all of all
terms and conditions I mean you
just say
she goes right across it's like
I'll use
she but to took throw they and
out of
the blue it seemed to me to be
presumptuous and also like just
a virtue
signaling like I really was not
impressed with this guy that
he's a
professor of linguistics at a
prestigious school yeah it
makes it even
more did is this almost
depressing and
one is here and I want to put
this guy
down know naman no but well so
I think
the general consensus was what
he was
saying is you know this is
prescriptive
and not the not defining so
language is
always alive and it changes and
it
morphs and and this is true
there's no
doubt about it and you know you
don't
hear us complaining too much
anymore
about words that have
completely taken
on new meaning but gay is an
excellent
example you know and was in my
lifetime
that definitely meant something
else
yeah men happy right and and
yes and so
you know but it's okay so we we
go along
with a lot of things but
language change
is not because someone says
this is how
we're doing it shut up old
white men cuz
that's the message I got was
yeah it was
the message
yeah it's like you know your
language
changes and you're in the way
no that's
not the deal it's like the older
generation not the way it works
now the
older generation gets to gets
the grouse
about it and push that the older
generation is
part of the reason some of
these things
never change yes yes it's our
it's our
duty our civic duty I like the
analogy
of human language is more
similar to
fashion than it is to C++ and
that kind
of resonated in my brain I
think yeah
that's true
there were two other comments
that I
thought were interesting and
one related
not just to the the glottis I
Glatt to
the glottis ization easy for
you to say
that's not but two vocal fry'
now one of
our producers says a friend of
mine is a
former heroin user and has
observed
people's voices change when
they start
using heroin dropping into
vocal fry' he
says he can almost instantly
spot a
heroin user based on their
voice and has
called out people who've
confirmed that
they started using now my
question is
does that go for oxy as well
does it go
forward you know or does it
have to be
you know your main not into
heroin it
doesn't quite surprise me
because they
used to be and I still have
some of this
I've never done this again but
I could
because I kept it there was a
cough
syrup out there called ventolin
mm-hmm
and I had some issues with my
life some
no no this decades ago and if
you take
this let me take this stuff it
doesn't
only give us your vocal fry'
uh-huh but
I personally sound exactly like
Henry
Kissinger oh man you got it you
got it
you got to do a hit the problem
is is
that it takes hours and hours
to go away
you are you hammered when you
take it or
the fry takes hours to go away
yeah the
fry takes hours to go away what
comes to
really have to be completely
moved and I
don't know if it has anything
to do it
just my reaction to this
particular
whatever chemical is in this
cough syrup
but I just have like this just
complete
but it's like it's like that
with with
amplitude nice is the
difference I can't
amplitude I can make this sound
but I
can't good at high
amplification which I
can't with that stuff cool and
it's
distressing I'll have to try
some you
breathe air maybe getting it
stuck like
after tries oh oh this was the
best
response and it actually struck
me is
with maybe even not as he
intended it a
gentlemen fantastic language
segment a
minor come it I believe the
dropping T's
issue is more of a neglect of
ends in
reference to words of important
Mountain
the real letter at issue is the
N I get
I agree this is the best letter
read
that yes read this
I'd guess this n neglect has
something
to do with the youth regarding
the nasal
aspect of the N as sounding not
sufficiently hip or to square
or maybe
it's a Sybil f-for anti-french
sentiment
which was that he threw in
there but
these were these the words
where it does
show up important and mountain
and what
you what you're getting when
you say
mountain and important is
you're getting
a different end so when you're
saying
importance if you're getting I
in I
think it's actually even bigger
than
that what he's discussing
you're getting
that is so it's important yeah
and it's
always an in or at Mount Hope
again the
kind in sucking in the end
point it's in
basically the word in is it
suits weird
they don't want to say n in a
normal
fashion by his thesis and I
think
there's something to this I
have a
theory what if your entire life
you were
told you can say anything you
want
except the n-word
could it do that that that
could be that
that is stuck in people's
brains to such
a degree import and even when
the end
Mount and it's the same n as
the as the
N word could it be that that is
what's
going on
no look Elms of possibility
thank you
I think this is my my theory
and I'm
sticking to it
they're afraid of the n-word
you say you
don't say curtain curtain
curtain Chris
take Kurt and curtain curtain
curtain
curtain curtain
it's her end it's a mystery is
what it
is it's a dang mystery well
let's think
about a few like the word
important you
don't have to really say the T
to get
the word out I mean it could be
important it's very important
it's very
important important yeah that's
the
difference okay I don't say
important
I say important but not yes oh
you don't
choke it up you don't choke to
choke the
word out just stop it
stop it children stop it
enough this needs more
discussion
obviously yeah because it's
we've been
talking about that you found
that old
clip thank you mm-hmm
we've been talking about
obviously for
at least three or four years
yeah well
no so I guess I'm vocal frying
my voice
do you do come on Courtney all
right so
what's going on over there
you're only
eight thousand miles away you
sound
pretty good for that distance
the fires
are out for their continued
100% oh
really oh that's good news and
it's it's
the power on fuckers on you or
the
powers been on here I don't
know we're
just probably still off
someplace
nothing there's nothing I think
they're
trying to impeach Trump
yeah you know I have not missed
seeing
that 24/7 and it's just it's
really been
so nice I mean it's of course
you're
looking at other death and
destruction
we're all gonna die but as
Lisa's not
impeached Trump it's just it's
refreshing Oh some some other
shit is
going on in the world yeah what
do you
got any updating is preferable
okay I
will say this by the way
today's Zephyr
trim was only seven cars long
no there's
something wrong I think so you
know you
could do a stock chart forecast
it could
be the Dvorak Zephyr report and
based
upon how many cars the Zephyr
had on
average could you could have
better
economic numbers than than
anyone else
in fact yes I could so I don't
like
seven it was low seven is low
seven the
lowest I've ever seen low count
well let
me tell you what I got about the
impeachment stuff I only have
two things
that that were that I caught
over here
and one is about the
whistleblower who I
guess we still don't know who
it is or
we think we know who it is but
we're not
supposed to say that drawing a
name
around right but you're not
allowed to
say it because the
whistleblower has
protections protections here's
Rand Paul
who disagrees whistleblower
laws though
they do protect a whistleblower
you know
it's illegal to you see you got
the home
to me you should here's the
thing yes
the whistleblower statute
protects the
whistleblower from having his
name
revealed by the inspector
general even
the New York Times admits that
no one
else is under any legal
obligation the
other point and you need to be
very
careful if you really are
interested in
the news is that the
whistleblower
actually is a material witness
completely separate from being
the
whistleblower because he worked
for Joe
Biden he worked for Joe Biden
at the
same time hunter Biden is
receiving
$50,000 a month so the
investigation
into the corruption of hunter
Biden
involves this whistleblower
because he
was there at the time did he
bring up
the conflict of interest was
there
discussion of this what was his
involvement with the
relationship
between Joe Biden and the
prosecutors a
lot of questions that
whistleblower
needs to know there you go so I
guess
that makes him a bad
whistleblower fakes
that was phony about this West
whistleblower of course but yeah
everybody's on Rand Paul's
bandwagon
first oh really always he is he
leading
the charge finally on so he's
not
leading the charge but he that
was a
importance important statement
that he
made and he all the right-wing
talkers
are all well ran I don't I
don't agree
with everything he's one of
these deals
oh yeah I don't agree with
everything he
says but exactly you know
what's gonna
happen is we're gonna keep doing
important and you know it's
gonna become
language and then people are
gonna hate
us
should be careful they're gonna
hate us
anyway Samantha Power's spoke
up like
why does she need wait to be
heard he
rose from did she come out of
her coffin
and then speak she sounds like
she came
out of the coffin she sounds
like a dude
do you think that Republicans
and many
of them would say a quid pro
quo does
not actually reach the bar for
impeachment of high crimes and
misdemeanors I think what you
see from
Republicans is a kind of
nervousness
acute nervousness about the
facts of
what Trump did tell me if you
don't
close your eyes that doesn't
sound like
a dude like kind of like
Stephanopoulos
height you know well doesn't it
sound a
little like Jane Fonda too and
therefore
more and more discussion of
process it's
not fair process it's clear
right that's
go open to all it's a show
trial and so
there really I think trying to
change
the conversation I mean he went
and
noticed she says they've been
trying to
change the conversation you
know the old
Dutch proverb but just ask me
to call
total health which means she
may be
accusing people of what she's
about to
do herself and so they're
really I think
trying to change the
conversation I mean
he went and asked a foreign
government
to not dig up dirt makeup dirt
in order
to show this showed up about
three or
four day or actually even
longer but it
I know it started creeping in
where even
though you've got the
transcript to read
there's nothing in there where
Trump
says I would like you to make
up dirt
about Joe Biden if you can't
find it
make it up but that's what the
left is
saying all around here does you
hear
this you're starting to hear
this it's a
meme now yeah yeah Trump calls
the the
comedy
comedian president of Ukraine
and told
him to make up dirt about Joe
Biden geez
that's what everyone says yeah
it's like
why yeah I'm not getting it now
people
over here they they don't even
really
want me to tell
what's happening but here's how
it
usually starts Trump's not
gonna get
impeached is he that's pretty
much what
everyone has said to me not do
you think
he's gonna get impeached what's
going on
just like she's not gonna get
impeached
is he which is interesting and
no one's
working where does that coming
from I
don't know no one's mad I think
because
they're all so they're being
hammered
about climate change and you
know they
have other problems
it won't trust this day cuz
he's a claim
but he's deny they don't have
that
bullcrap over there at least
well we have it on and off we
just don't
have it to such an extreme
right because
we don't have a great leader
like Greta
doomberry doom-doom Berg doomed
Berg
Berg Elizabeth Warren finally
defined
the middle class I was just
asking about
this on the last show
I'm did you do you hear this
yeah you do
if this is the same clip you
played in
the last show I'll be surprised
no I
didn't play this clip on the
last show
no okay no this is a new clip
it's a
shorty but she's asked to
define the
middle class because he
promised cost
will not go up for the middle
class now
did we arrive at a number at
the brac I
think this reporter even asked
for the
bracket would do we come up
with a
number as the title I thought
the number
we came up with Obama's number
which was
$250,000 a year is the top end
of the
middle class okay well some
states it
seemed an the bottom man would
be
poverty right which what is
what what's
poverty 25 30
I think it's 25 20 currently
I'm not
sure okay so it's in that
vicinity so
everybody above 250 you could
be screwed
no yes you could be screwed by
Warren by
Warren stacks actually no you
don't have
to be worried at all
here it's 100% it doesn't raise
taxes on
anybody but billionaires and
you know
what the billionaires can
afford an item
called a middle-class
billionaire that's
where it worked
anyone under
anyone under a billion dollars
pays not
a penny more you heard it there
that's
your middle class is under a
billion
well I this we yeah I think
this is
similar to a clip you played
now well I
don't know what that clip is
then but
yes she made this comment this
guy went
around a toe and is bullshit
she never
specifically said the middle
class was
anyone who makes under a
billion no she
just said it now though she
didn't
really say that he's asking her
who's
gonna get taxed no he says what
is the
middle class what's the bracket
well she yes but she didn't
answer the
question if a politician I'm
gonna have
to say something here
we know that politicians don't
answer
the question so he can't really
answer
she's answering some question
that
wasn't asked
she's asking who's gonna get
taxed and
he asked who's the middle class
and she
didn't answer the question I
don't see
that you can accuse her of
saying this
when she did to her normal
avoidance
behavior of not answering the
question
and then sticking her with an
answer I
think is unfair I think you're
being
unfair to to Betsy that was her
normal
name Betsy Betsy new name Betsy
so I
came I bet she was her name I
do I
researched her because I was
saying I
saw a picture of her here's
what I
thought and don't Clifton's for
the
cartoon I'm saying that cuz I'm
always
stumbling I'm to get to my point
where's elizabeth warren's Betsy
Warren's where's her husband
what do you
mean what's his name which is
OK without
looking what's what's her
husband's name
Paul am I wrong what is his name
Bruce oh yeah I knew that I
knew it was
a paul or a bud or something
like well
she may have been shit to us
but she was
married and then she got
divorced and
she very Brutes
and you never see Bruce you
never hear
Bruce nobody's doing profiles
of Bruce
he didn't want a beer that's
why she
wants a beer he said no and
that was his
career over with done you're
not a
camera they were actually
they're
actually a kind of a for their
age and
all they're cute couple and
she's very
pretty when she was in high
school on
and off she has a glamour shot
I'd
started looking up all over her
pictures
glamour shot of one at one
point which I
maybe I'll run in a newsletter
because
in this glamour shot she's got
the
epicanthal fold you know she's
good she
looks like an American Indian
she's got
black hair her hair is always
dark not
the blondie as she is today and
so I
looked at all our pictures in
grammar
school and all the rest and we
read this
very interesting profile of her
and some
obscure publication and she was
I wanted
this she got skipped she was a
smart
girl she skipped a year in
school moved
up and she was apparently a
master
debater
won the state championship for
debating
mm-hmm and I'm thinking this
would be
the guy I didn't like the idea
of her
running but I although I do
know she's
not gonna do anything and she
was always
a Republican until she was 40
something
yeah just not very strange yeah
I know I
knew that and she I would love
to see
her in a debate with Trump I
think this
would be fun to watch well cuz
apparently she was a kick-ass
debater an
observation is that you were
creeping on
Betsy there Betsy due diligence
oh yes
okay due diligence no you know
what
little defensive about her she
was very
cute I mean everybody heard it
I'm not
the only one who heard this
okay alright
well I respect your your
analysis
Bill Gates disagrees with you
you
historically actually have been
in favor
of a wealth tax I'm a high
estate tax of
a high estate tax yeah so there
is now
on the table Elizabeth Warren
has a true
wealth tax
[Music]
well billionaires it would cost
you I
believe close to six billion
dollars
annually if you had to pay it
ended on
top of what you already pay
what do you
think of all of this so there
you know
I've paid over ten billion in
taxes I
paid more than anyone in taxes
but I you
know I'm glad you know if I'd
had to pay
twenty billion that's fine but
you know
when you say I should pay a
hundred
billion ok then I'm starting to
do a
little math about
what I have left over sorry I'm
just
kidding you really want the
incentive
system to be there and you can
go a long
ways without threatening that
have you
ever talked that was before
about and
I'd not would you would you
want to you
know I'm not sure how
open-minded she is
doing stand-up here he's just
one after
another he's always been funny
if he's
got a crowd going yeah they
like for the
odd thing is bother something I
mean
I've never I mean he's always
had these
affectations in his in his
voice but ah
you know who does that
no Ted Turner was a big ah-ha
before he said anything and I
think it
might be a milieu issue well
you got to
be careful because Ted has
severe
dementia now he's a shadow of
himself so
I'm sure his odds have gotten
completely
out of control a warning sign
Wow you're on a roll today I am
sure how
open-minded she is it's a nerd
fry it's
a nerd vocal fry be willing to
sit down
with somebody you know who has
large
amounts of money okay so let me
make it
complicated for you
you've been polite we say
public about
your misgivings about our
current
president if Elizabeth Warren
were the
other candidate what would you
do you
know I I'm not gonna you know
make
political declarations but I do
think no
matter what policy somebody has
in mind
a professional approach is even
as much
as I disagree with some of the
policy
things that are out there I do
think a
professional approach to the
office
whoever I decide would have the
more
professional approach in the
current
situation probably will way is
the thing
that I'll weigh the most nah
yeah you
know I hope the more
professional
candidate is an electable
candidate okay
yeah wonder if it's a tell cuz
he's
basically they're just lying
his ass off
because he'd never vote for
Trump he
knows that if it was warned
half to vote
for Warren because otherwise
he'd be
excoriated from the pedo Club
yes but
maybe it's a tell whenever he's
gonna do
a really big lie ah why stand
it's
different than just the normal
which
people you know I I do it you
do a
little bit mm yeah we everybody
does it
they say uh but uh is not the
same as
approach is even as much as I
disagree
with some of the policy things
that are
out there I do think a
professional
approach in the office whoever
I decide
would have the more professional
approach in the current
situation
probably will way is the thing
that I'll
weigh the most sounds like his
body is
all saying this is bullshit
approach in
the current situation
probably will way is the thing
that I'll
weigh the most nah and you know
I hope
we gotta pay attention to him
doing that
now cuz I think it's a tell it
might be
a tell ah he does a lot yeah
but that
was a good beginning of it the
whole
thing he really extreme the end
I like
it were they're different
it's it's a cool version of
Tourette's
maybe it's a nerdy thing you
know bill
supposedly has Parkinson's
and this is the mole is not
discussed a
lot but I've seen absolutely
zero
evidence in the evidence of
that either
he's not yes and this was I
think I
first heard about this four or
five
years ago hmm yeah there's no
evidence
of it so see what's not she
still looks
like she might swoop in
did you see Hillary and Chelsea
crash
the monologue on the James
Corden show
yes I watched it I watched them
do their
thing that's where I got to
quote from
her saying that she did we've
got to get
rid of the electoral college
Oh was this in the in the
opening I
thought that did they do a
sit-down
interview because I didn't oh I
only got
when they did stand-up did you
see this
cringe no I miss them so James
Corden's
doing his monologue and then the
curtains open behind this was
17 seconds
of standing ovations so I cut
it down
but people were going nuts that
just oh
my god there they are
she's real she looks great
[Applause]
Wow we heard your jokes
backstage and
felt it was our civic duty to
in this
humanitarian now of course what
happened
here is you know they they
agreed to
come on the show we're gonna do
something different and then
the writer
sat down and they wrote some
jokes and
now you're gonna see two women
delivering jokes and hey well
I'd love
to hear your analysis because
you feel
the punch line coming from a
thousand
miles and still it generates a
little
chuckle now this there's
something about
a lot of structured jokes you
got to
give it to amateurs yes I am
really fed
up with all of your Trump jokes
if
anyone should be telling Trump
jokes
it's me it's like that's just
pandering
to the crowd
[Applause]
Donald Trump trying to get
votes for
Sean Spicer on Dancing with the
Stars
now Chelsea goes you know I
can't blame
Trump for trying to help Sean
Spicer but
if there's one thing we've
learned is
that these guys really can't
win the
popular vote sure why not
spokesman Sean
Spicer is now on Dancing with
the Stars
it is an improvement on his old
job
dancing around the issues now
you get
the idea and then she doesn't
emails
joke and
you know she could have she'd
hit up the
word dancing
I've around the issues and then
plowed
through the second president he
could
have actually been hurt her we
delivered
prominently but now so that
just shows
deliveries little flat for both
of them
so that appearance shows that
she's
still in the game and obviously
we're
now November 7th at this is six
days
past our self-imposed deadline
of
reentry my self-imposed
deadline you
never but this is the kind of
guy I am
I'll take the bad with you
bullet yes I
would in a heartbeat
absolutely I just wanna make it
clear
that I'm the one who said well
first
thing well I think we for being
wrong no
I think you still have a shot
and you
have a shot no I'm not I'm not
I have
not thrown in the towel no you
shouldn't
because I have another clip
here this is
everybody's favorite money
honey Maria
Bartiromo and she had a sit-down
interview with Steve Banyan
known of the
Banyan brothers and he had the
following
you don't think this is gonna
be the
lineup come 20/20 on the
Democratic side
I think if you look at the
liberty and
justice dinner in Iowa the
other night
Joe Biden was totally unfair
right and I don't think mayor
peak at
that Obama moment he was
looking for I
just don't believe that the
centrist
that you know particularly the
wall
street crowd in the Democratic
Party are
going to sit there and think
that they
have a coronation for Elizabeth
Warren's
Elizabeth Warren's policies are
so
radical the math doesn't even
come close
this modern monetary theory you
have to
totally change the way we've
ever
thought about finance the way
he thought
about money to even have some
concept of
the radicalization of what her
policies
are yes so I think that
Bloomberg and
Clinton are still there as
Biden's in
fourth in Iowa he's in second
in New
Hampshire I think dropping a
third he's
losing steam everywhere
Bloomberg or
Hillary Clinton will enter this
race I
think that they're the
two best representatives of
what it goes
for today the centrist of the
Democratic
Party
I believe the centrist no
matter how lay
some time before Iowa or even
come in I
don't believe they won't seem
like
they're disruptors right so
they don't
want to elbow Biden aside but
as the
natural gravity falls out of
the in the
first two races South Carolina
yeah is
what's propping him up right
now and
mayor Pete if mayor Pete does
not get
the traction and he did not
have an
Obama moment yeah the other day
I think
that the centrist are gonna
have a vote
and they're either gonna look
and say
Bloomberg or Clinton what are
the best
are the best shot no no the
only person
could be done with Trump is
Donald Trump
Trump right now there's not a
candidate
out there that can defeat Donald
there you go straight from the
horse's
mouth this guy is on the road
cuz he was
on a couple of the right-wing
talkers
and he's been floating around
mm-hmm he
hasn't gotten into the high
profile
shows yet I don't know yes
that's his
thing if he really even wants
to go
after that he seems to be very
comfortable with kind of the
business
press he doesn't know Bloomberg
you know
some podcasts you know I don't
know the
guy's smart so I'm sure he's
doing but
do you think he really wants to
be like
in a in kind of a mainstream
soundbite
type program and this is
something we
got to talk for half an hour
and that's
what he's looking for maybe he
just
wants to talk longer and he
can't do
that on him she doesn't care
thing up
honey here's how he's thinking
I don't
care as long as the no agenda
boys got
some clips to play that's all
that's on
his mind I understand that I'd
like to
thank you for your courage and
say in
the morning to you the man who
put the
Dvorak well in the morning you
mr. Adam
Curry in the morning the boots
on the
ground feet in the air and all
the Dames
are nice out there in the
morning - are
trolls in the troll room which
can be
found at no agender stream
dot-com just
hop on over there you can
listen to any
show live as it's being
produced live we
have a lot of them that go
alive it's
great we got great just great
show is
live I'm doing Trump thing
great shows
perfect people everything's
beautiful
over there no agenda stream
calm oh yes
and if you're a troll you'll be
welcomed
with cookies no agendas juries
roll
no agenda stream calm now then
I'd like
to offer a big hearty in the
morning to
Larry
Dane who is a I think he's
never let me
check if we discussed this I do
not
believe he is no it was his
know is his
second submission and he scored
the
album art award a four-episode
1187 the
title that was pre deceased
and he had the Oxford
Dictionary of
current English as the tea was
dropping
off English privileged the No
Agenda
original and it felt good to us
but it
believes there was something we
wanted
to critique
yes well the one that I thought
was the
best piece
was Mike Riley you said it was
up to
obscure you when you're gonna
put up
with it it but this is with
Jimmy
Garoppolo standing there and
two weather
balloons that I'd commented
that he
likes to date women that looked
like
they were too weather balloons
in a
halter top right you thought was
slightly amusing but what got
me about
this he's got Jimmy Garoppolo
and then
there's two weather balloons
floating in
the air with stripper tassels
hanging
from them that was the part
that was too
obscure first of all I didn't
recognize
Jimmy Garofalo door nor did it
even
trigger anything in my memory
because
you know that just died the
tassels were
a hilarious
touch very funny but it really
doesn't
just didn't translate from me
not saying
it's bad no obviously we didn't
pick it
no I'm just saying this is the
piece I
like Galaga and mainly because
of the
subtle touch of the tousled I
have to be
I'm old enough that I've been to
burlesque burlesque shows the
classic
yes I've been to a burlesque
show or two
and they used to have these
women who
would come out with these
topless and
not bottomless usually but
topless with
these tassels hanging off their
nipples
and they could twirl and they
would get
and they would get them
spinning mm-hmm
through a jumping jack like
exercise
they get them going and they're
really
talented women if you want to
call this
a talent now when they were
jumping and
whatever movements there were
their
talent were they both spinning
in the
same direction or could they do
generally stop it and make them
go one
going one direction one going
the other
direction Wow and that was and
they were
did they do it and like on cue
and it
was like wow you'd say to
yourself
talent which you're like a
teenager in
here I can imagine you just
last Friday
that's what I called talent I
did like
Joe Biden with this little mr.
microphone I think we both
found that to
be
man that was an obscure
reference mr.
Mitas was probably unknown to
most
people yeah and live from the
Netherlands now travel tip so
we looked
at travel tips was just it was
functional was a Darren O'Neill
piece
him but ultimately everyone
does a
beautiful job and we had to
pick one and
it's just now it's whatever it
whatever
works for us at that moment but
we
really appreciate all the work
that
everybody puts in sight I also
picked
come comic bloggers in Leu live
life in
the Netherlands one for the
newsletter
because I thought it fit in
with the
news yes and of course and
that's what
we use the images for it's not
just for
the album art I always use one
for the
live stream for announcing
actually used
a comic store blogger today
which had
1188 it's the only time allowed
to use
numbers is for the pre stream
and he had
them in the Dutch flag colors
red white
and blue but actually somehow
the whole
thing feels really Dutch so I
like that
and some of these also go on
t-shirts
and mugs at No Agenda shop calm
and the
artists get a piece of the of
the
profits there as does the show
so we're
very appreciative thank you so
much to
our artists who participate and
if you
want to throw your hat in the
ring just
go to nil agenda our generator
calm and
a creating account if it works
sometimes
I might have to try twice and
upload
your your work yeah I want to
comment on
one more piece of art sure this
was from
I think the previous show yeah
we didn't
do a commentary I thought the
waffle
waffle waffle by Darren O'Neill
of
showing the Washington Post in
a and
beloved leader dead at 56
Hitler yes
yeah but was really a
noteworthy piece
but but no jokes like already
been made
did one of jokes been made
that's what
your complaint was yeah the
jokes been
made but I'm not gonna put a
Hitler
right on the oil on our album
art just
don't think it's too advanced
guys use
Hitler yeah we won't we won't
do without
some thought that's for sure
yeah well I
suppose it could be some misses
but
we've never used Hitler before I
that was gonna happen but
you've got
your artists out there you
think it's up
to the challenge you might want
to try
something but much it Hitler
art no no
Hitler art does you know people
take us
seriously when you say that
don't say
that
let's do this Hitler we have
executive producers and
associate
executive producers to thank
today and
then it is a good of a very
short second
segment yeah we didn't get a
lot of
responses and you know I flies

I sleep
for three hours I prep I set up
I do a
show and this is the thank yous

douching deduced I've been a
bit busy
lately and I've been catching
up on the
fast pew it fast pew episodes I
saved
the last two in my phone and
look
forward to listening to them
while I
around the Grand Canyon for
work hikers
invariably still presume I'm
listening
to a douchey TED talk as they
burst out
laughing yeah there you go
in fact we should just have all
our
album art to say TED talk talk
light
TEDx I am confident that I have
people
say why don't you do a TED talk
and what
you do they pay no no is your
answer but
it's a TEDx it's for the
community yeah
for somebody's making money how
am i
doing something for a
non-profit or
somebody's not making it
somebody
starving it is like this show
right
somebody's walking away with
millions
and creating this huge industry
I'm not
gonna pay me this ridiculous I'm
confident it's fine I'm
confident
they're bemused smiles would
disappear
from their faces that they're
thinking
this a TEDx talk TED talk the
instant
they learn I'm actually
listening to two
old white guys anyhow in
response to
John's question a few episodes
ago
whether I can still accommodate
producers who wish to visit the
Grand
Canyon unfortunately I no
longer have
the apartment I had when I
initially
made the offer because I moved
to
Glacier National Park in 2018
to shoot
to shoot Prato to shoot problem
grizzly
bears with green bags and
rubber bullets
for the summer when I returned
to Grand
Canyon a year ago the Park
Service put
me up in a haunted old hospital
room
that has been converted into a
very
Spartan living quarters I'm no
longer
able to help out that's too bad

by an academia I was looking at
some
stats recently this year in the
social
sciences or even the history
department
the ratio of Democrats or
Republicans
it's like 50 to 1 mm-hmm but he
is so
good that nobody cares but he
was on
this show that the Stanford
Hoover
Institute does right okay your
question
yes what exactly is the Hoover
Institute
who's behind it what's the deal
who's
financing it well the Hoover
Institution
around forever and I started
off I think
with an endowment from Hoover
himself to
Stanford and it became this
Institute
and who's currently financing
it is I
don't know but I'm sure it's a
bunch of
writers it's a part of Stanford
University yes it is
so but he's not kinda they load
up with
visiting professors mm-hmm and
people
who are over there to write
books while
they're there and they have
meetings
here in nation but this is a
Stanford
isn't that a liberal Lefty yes
College
the Hoover Institute David the
way they
see it the Hoover Institute is
like
there we're balanced like that
okay yeah
I hear you got you make sense
look at
the Hoover Institute in the
cage over
there we're balanced okay he
did a
couple of historical and now
seas of World War two and I
thought that
these I picked a couple of
clips up just
very three of them and I wanted
to play
and probably us in the order
let's start
with Victor Hansen on Japan in
World War
two Japan Japan was strange
because as I
said they were the most vicious
they
killed seventeen million people
in China
and yet they lost three million
quite a
lot we burned down 40% of their
urban
through the b-29 in sendiri
raids and
Hiroshima and Nagasaki but we
never
invaded their land as we had
done Italy
in Germany so they had not seen
a battle
on their own turf I know
they've been
bombed but when they
unilaterally then
surrendered they never quite
accepted
that the American marines or
army could
get face to face with when they
never
came to deal with her past as
they do
today and if you don't believe
me they
just put their big first big
carrier you
see it they just launched it
you know
what the name of it was the
kaga you
know what the cargo was it was
the
leading carrier of Pearl Harbor
huh and those yeah this is
recent this
speech he did
this yeah this was a speech it
was in
the interview uh this was
probably about
three years old okay I ran into
it I
thought it had good stuff that
I'd never
heard before I didn't know that
I didn't
know that either
it's kind of the only reason
for the
clip it's not piece of obscure
information for trim it so on
it's kind
of rude
you think yeah I mean how come
not worse
Trump calling him out on this
well I
think it was during the Obama
team so
that explains it okay got it
now let's
talk about a peas bit a little
bit this
was good in 1932 1933 the Oxford
debating society a very famous
debate
said for king and country I
shall not
fight at the same time they
were already
trying to violate the Tennis the
Versailles Treaty in Germany
Mussolini
was already planning to go into
Ethiopia
the Japanese had been fighting
for two
years so there was the sense of
appeasement which is a good
word at that
time that you were ready ready
to listen
soft power lead from behind
that's what
it was but it meant that they
sacrificed
their material advantages
because the
people in it were not willing
to fight
in other words they weren't
they lost it
turns because they were not
willing to
lose a few thousand soldiers so
they
wouldn't lose 60 million people
in a war
and that translated on the
battlefield
as a bf109 was no better than a
french
fighter mark three tank was no
better or
worse than a shark tank but five
missions for BF 109 per day -
for a
french fighter french tanks ran
out of
gas
germans did not
so he's making the point that
there was
no German advantage insofar as
armament
this was concerned it was just
enthusiasm
yeah they were you know if
there's one
thing I can say about those
Nazis they
had enthusiasm to were
enthusiastic very
enthusiastic about the mission
yes yeah
good point from the professor
there
mm-hmm now so again this speech
took
place during the Obama
administration so
this is his last little clip I
thought
was interesting he's talking
about the
UK and it's something we never
consider
in fact we don't even consider
the fact
that Russia is largely
responsible for
winning World War two
well we draw you and I do with
you and I
do in a few people listening to
show do
and some other people that are
sensible
to realize this but a lot of
people
don't and they don't care one
way or the
other but this part about the
UK is not
discussed and it's probably
just as
important as recognizing the
Russia for
helping beat Hitler and it's
kind of
more interesting because it's
even more
ignored Britain waged a
brilliant war it
was the only country to fight
the first
day of the war and the last day
of war
September 1st of September 2nd
six years
no other country fought the
entire war
no other country went to war
think of
this for the principle of an
ally we
only went to war when they
attack the
Soviet Union only went to war
when they
attacked us Germany attacked
people
Italy attacked people Japan not
Britain
it went through a war for
principle they
were brilliantly led they put
40 percent
of their investment in land and
sea air
and naval power they avoided
this Psalm
that Verdun they lost the
fewest of all
the major 425 less than half
what they
had lost in World War one and
they
fought a much more ambitious
war into
that being said they Mobil I
think we
mobilized they mobilized to a
degree
that was unprecedented
so in terms of per capita
investment
than the United States or
Soviet Union
and they were flat broke when
the war
was over and then unfortunately
because
of the deprivation they began to
socialize their rails their
healthcare
system
transportation their iron their
steel
industries or power and lo and
behold
within ten years the countries
that were
flattened like Japan and
Germany were
industrial powerhouses turning
out
Mercedes and Honda's & Toyota's
and
Britain's car industry take one
example
was over with so they had a
very tragic
and they also gave up their
empire
willingly so but there there's
was a
tragic experience it makes me
very mad
when I hear Obama saying
they're gonna
get back at the queue they were
the most
admirable and idealistic of all
the
allies and they fought way
above what
they people thought they were
capable in
every single category munitions
except
one year of planes they out
produced the
Third Reich that had all of
occupied the
EU of today under its power huh
well of
course it's true I mean even
when we had
our office in London it was
still in
shortage you know which was
being
rebuilt as the hipster place to
be but
there were still bombed out
buildings
there yeah they they took they
took it
hard but you know what they had
an
enthusiastic guy
they had Church they had a
motivational
speaker yeah well this is what's
interesting is Burchill both
countries
had motive motivated
enthusiastic guys
including Hitler if you're
writing about
World War two for a paper at
school
you can just say Adam uncle
Adam and
uncle John said these were
really
enthusiastic guys
now just a little world war ii
tit but
which i feel bad about because
i'm
watching the documentary cuz p
QED PBS
or logo PBS station has fallen
prey to
the History Channel's kind of
programming ideas and they have
this
series called Nazi mega weapons
oh
that's a good one
I like that what they have like
a
mile-long cannon and stuff no
they were
talking about the v1 in this
game okay
right there v1 story on Nazi
mega
weapons is it's like riveting
it's very
interesting and I did not
realize all
these years being a baby boomer
all
these years that the v1 attacks
on
London when they really started
sending
the V ones over that I finally
got the
thing to work yeah all took
place after
d-day oh I didn't know that
either huh
so I always thought there was
just
something that was going on on
d-day
second today yeah done all
right we're
good to go
ha no so when d-day after d-day
was well
underway well underway not just
the day
after we're well underway they
start
that's when they did the attack
on
London with it with the v1
smile so huh
that was news to me that's the
and I
felt like an idiot you know
they still
dig one of those up from time
to time
here and in Holland they're
draining
some water yeah because they do
that
like reclaiming reclaiming some
land and
all of a sudden they'll be the
v1 Oh
surface unexploded of course
stuff like
that shows up all the time
dude was it's the interesting
thing
about this v1 that really got my
attention I'd like to see at
this
machine I like to see there was
a little
device they rolled out that was
the size
of like a v8 engine with a
bunch of big
pipes and weird stuff cooked to
it and
it was it was some sort of a
steam bomb
and they would hook this thing
to the
the v1 would be strapped to
this rocket
launcher device so would get it
going
hmm
and they did this thing
generated this
little device it was very small
I was
moving I wasn't like a ramjet
type deal
they had going on
there yeah but the ramjets a
real
problematic cuz you can't make
them
actually do anything until
they're going
at high speeds it's a it was a
ramjet
huh but they had to get it
launching
into the air it at high speeds
to get it
to start really working and
then it took
off it like the ramjet it
wasn't flew
across the channel but they had
to
launch it with something and
they didn't
have like rocket launchers or
any way to
get in to go into anything
would want to
use a spring or anything they
had this
little device and they showed
it and it
was like it created a steam
bomb and
they'd wrap it onto this they
did latch
it onto the back of the
launching
platform and it would be hooked
to them
to the rocket and then they
clamp it
down with a bunch of these
levers and it
would then they turn it on it
would
generate this apparently like
unbelievable amount of steam
and then
they release it and it would go
push
this rocket up and if you see
any
launches of a v1 if you're
gonna look
them up on YouTube all that
smoke and
crap is actually the steam
explosion and
then they roll the thing back
and use it
again what was this thing is
there a an
equivalent for rockets for
train fo Murs
I think you hit the nail on the
head -
the more you know in the
mornings
[Music]
that's right everybody we're
looking at
glitches bitches that's right
hit me now
yes there's been some glitches
in the
news that I'd like to highlight
from
time to time because sometimes
they
affect your life which unless
you're OTG
and you're careful with what
you rely on
for your life but sometimes it
can be a
really interesting thing and not
necessarily a negative such as
the
latest glitch in the Robin Hood
trading
app some tricky Robin Hood
users were
able to get extra leverage on
the
training app they did this by
the way
this audio is what CNBC
broadcasts I
didn't have anything to do with
that at
over modulated traps you
leverage on the
training app they did this
through
margin training which is
perfectly
common very legal a lot of
brokerage
firms do that so users are able
to put
down a small percentage of the
train and
then a brokerage firm acts as a
lender
the glitcher though was that
users
overstated the amount of money
that they
had in their accounts to borrow
and
we're able to sort of cheat the
system
here so it's discovered on
reddit you
can think of this similar to a
sort of
video game hack where users
were helping
each other out and outlining a
step by
step process so other people
could
repeat this they were calling
it like
you said infinite leverage or
the
infinite money cheat code one
trader was
claiming on reddit that he took
a 1
million dollar position was
only four
thousand dollars worth of
deposits
another claim that he got 25
times
leverage and fifty thousand
dollars
worth of buying power to buy
some stock
to Robin Hood technology in the
glitch
and that this happened a
spokesperson
telling CNBC they're aware of
the
isolated situations and are
communicating directly with
customers I
kind of like this glitch which
you know
it about it you can call it a
glitch or
you could just say major
boo-boo bad
code my goodness so yes so
somehow you
able to hack around in the app
so that
it gave you unlimited leverage
you could
borrow as much as you needed
for your
trades oh my god how those
trades were
were handled in the after all's
said and
done they have to I wonder if
they wind
him back mom they might wind
him back I
don't know but then they also
have to
wind back the one person I saw
who
posted something that they they
did a
big leverage thing in their app
and they
were down 22 grand
I wonder if you get that back
to not
only the prophecy okay probably
don't
get that back
then there was this is one of my
favorites we go to Australia
and that of
the hardest part of the day and
it
really is if you are some of
the drivers
out there safely getting tens of
thousands of people out of
flemington
Jade Vinson is on Ballarat Road
Jade
just absolute bumper-to-bumper
bedlam
over where you have a look at
the cars
as you say bumper-to-bumper
here on
Ballarat Road these are mostly
uber
drivers trying to get into
Flemington
Racecourse to pick people up
who are
desperately trying to get home
and this
is all because of a major
technical
glitch we out today so the
pickup zones
inside the racecourse have been
shut
down while uber tries to work
to fix the
problem race goers tens of
thousands of
race goers who were planning on
you
using uber to get home we're
told that
they need to walk streets away
from
Flemington to book an uber or
find an
alternative mode of transport
uber did apologize for the
inconvenience
and released a statement saying
unfortunately technical issues
have
meant that we are currently
unable to
connect all drivers and riders
at the
dedicated uber signs oh brother
this is
just the beginning
you know taxis aren't that much
more
expensive or if they even are
and they
want you to jump in a cab and
get out of
it a lot cheaper in this case
because
because of the glitch they had
so many
people that they went into
there what is
their overdrive their surge
surge price
yes sir surge pricing so is
like 30
bucks which is twice as much as
a cab
that's Australian dollar adieu
so you
know nothing basically pennies
pennies
are driving for around there
very strange so just a few few
other
things that are happening oh
yeah oh
this I got a good couple things
you want
to let's do this this is a
little site
thing this is when Steve Hilton
attacked
it Maria you know about this
yeah I was
just gonna do have to more edgy
things
but if you want to move away
this call
way off the great well if
you're gonna
do off-the-grid do more off the
grid
because I think I may have
something
oh good well I just have two
stories one
is Google apparently now
finally killing
off URLs if you look at not
everyone has
it but a lot of people who are
now
getting search results you just
get the
result with a link and it
doesn't give
you the URL anymore
which is doesn't it still show
up in the
a12 invariably I've seen it
twice
although in Netherlands so I
don't know
what I'm hitting here twice it
showed up
where I didn't see them and now
I just
of course when talking about it
it does
show them but they're
experimenting with
it and it's been going on
forever yeah a
lot of people think well I
think it's a
hijack personally they want to
do
keyword exactly that's exactly
what
they're going for keywords and
then this
latest experiment which I
didn't realize
was possible I mean would take
quite a
bit to actually use this as a
hack but
it turns out when you have
these talking
tubes or spy spy devices as we
like to
call them such as Amazon Alexa
and the
Google home now they use the
MEMS
microphones which is a
microphone array
what is what does MEMS stand
for do you
know what that is John MEMS yab
you the
micro electronic mechanism
something
like I don't have the exact
term but
these are these are micro
mechanical
devices that are for example if
you have
a Kindle
that's a MEMS display and so
it's that's
why so just semi-permanent when
it comes
on mm-hmm it's because you're
actually
looking at little things that
flip did
microscopic levels oh well that
makes
sense then MEMS are also used
in modern
these crazy scales you can buy
at Costco
they don't have anything this
spring
snow spring is you stand on the
scale
and the MEMS that are on the
four feet
