Adam curry is no agenda item
curry from
northern Silicon Valley where
I'm still
waiting in line and targets
from Jessie
forever
boom Shakalaka hey Jon glitch
how Donny
don't even start with that I do
you know
how many people will email me
and tweet
me when something like that
have the
clip here trouble at Target
today
registers at stores worldwide
were down
due to a technical glitch
the glitch prevented cashiers
from
scanning merchandise causing
massive
lines and it stores worldwide
frustrating shoppers the
company closed
some stores rather than risk
further
aggravating people target says
the
outage lasted about two hours
and blamed
the problem on a quote internal
technology issue we were just
shopping
around and there was an overhead
and all the systems were down
in target
and we're gonna nobody can buy
anything
so they're gonna close the
store target
says the glitch was not a data
breach
and information was compromised
it was a double glitch not just
one
glitch at the beginning with two
glitches in the report
completely
unacceptable reporting we'll
just second
there professor we we fixed the
glitch
is so lame AP Associated Press
lead lead
led off their reporting of this
with a
glitch that's the first two
words in
their reporting I'd like to
know what
actually happened target has
had a lot
of issues with their systems
got a huge
IT problem and it doesn't make
sense
that the whole system would go
down
doesn't have like local backups
or any
way of doing anything I got a
crazy I
can make sense to you crazy
idea could
anyone pay with cash yeah I get
I don't
think so I don't think they
were you did
hey don't you have a little
Bureau you'd
write it up I don't think so I
don't
think so no I don't think so
calculator
people has no idea higher world
target
is closed just on a bankers
holiday kind
of thing it is people have you
know it's
cute now and it's still cute
when you
call it a glitch and oh well we
didn't
know what to do we were just
wandering
around for two hours we
couldn't buy
anything wait until something
really
good happens and then people
will be
like whoa what is this is the
word
glitch lean mumbled or
something more we
should look at interesting
jeopardy
episode the other day the
category for
final today is word history
players
here's your clue this word for
a bug or
malfunction was popularized in
the 1962
book into orbit by the mercury
astronauts 30 seconds good luck
oh my
goodness what could it mean
we think for a second a bug
mercury I
don't know Jim you're smiling
why is
that you couldn't come up with
anything
so what did you write down what
is fubar
4200 that drops you down to
6600 let's
go to the middle now Adrian
Griffin
she had 12,000 700 her response
was the
correct one what is a glitch
John Glenn
came up with that word and you
almost
double your score Oh wonderful
John
Glenn yes he's the play he's to
blame I
didn't realize that I don't
wonder if
it's true
oh you questioned the Jeopardy
yes I do
at this point
oh my goodness I don't watch
the way
they phrased that that the way
they
phrased that answer our
question you
have to ask it as a crowd ever
yeah maybe fine but I'm not
sure that
the genesis of the word glitch
comes
from somebody just making it up
out of
the blue that's I don't know I
dig in
but regardless regardless when
it comes
to reporting to news this is
just not in
today's world this is no longer
acceptable as news reporting
you need to
give they could have at least
said it
was the point-of-sale system it
was they
could have given us some
information
it's just a glitch and then uh
whatever
and these glitches they're
going to ruin
your lunches we've got too many
glitches
yeah
and this situation with target
and the
whole worldwide goes down yeah
this do
we have any IT guys I think we
have a
few guys named dudes named Ben
yeah
someone's guy can maybe help us
out here
somebody's gotta have some ideas
somebody has to actually
somebody in our
audience knows what happened
yes and and
they should be telling us they
should be
sharing that information with
us well
I've had a lot of glitches in
the past
48 hours mm-hmm as we were
about two
hours from Belfast two hours
north north
north Northern Ireland at a
wedding
destiny
in the belle-isle castle where
we were a
guests and it was the castle
that was
having the wedding yes the
castle er was
having the way were moving into
the
castle no it was the castle
that had the
wedding oh and I and we were
supposed to
be there for me to do the show
today and
it would have been really cool
and of
course they you know I did some
scouting
ahead and made sure I got
multiple
confirmations the Wi-Fi is
outstanding
and indeed the Wi-Fi was
outstanding the
problem was the connection to
the
internet from the Wi-Fi was
just you
know in like in no-go zones
they have
just no there's no wired
Internet they
literally had an antenna on the
roof
getting the wife or their
internet
signal I think it might have
been you
know like some WiMAX type you
finish LED
a little bit mislead the wife
any good
yeah if the wife that doesn't
we're not
talking about the signal
strength of the
actual Wi-Fi we're talking
about its
connectivity to the Internet
and that's
the whole well well but it is
an a
misnomer because you know as I'm
troubleshooting this then you
know Tina
would look at her heard her
stop she
said well I got full I got full
signal
here and of course you know the
Wi-Fi
was outstanding they had a
great Wi-Fi
system with repeaters
everywhere you
could walk all over the ground
you had
Wi-Fi it just it wouldn't it
would drop
the connection to the internet
so we
decided instead of staying the
extra day
we got a crack of dawn and
drove to
Belfast and and kind of just
got the
first hotel that I knew would
because
it's a business center business
area and
it's the Titanic hotel in
Belfast which
is where the Titanic was built
okay yeah
it's this is the where the
white star
shipping line and also of
course the was
it the Olympia what was the the
ship
that was act that actually sank
you know
Lou the old switcharoo
mostly with the Olympia the
Olympia was
the hospital ship the carbon
copy of the
yeah the carbon copy the one
that was
supposed to sing or whatever it
was I
dive I forget I forget the
complete
conspiracy I've never heard
just dis oh
you've never heard this
oh no well it's even better
because this
hotel is very modern and
there's an expo
center as a whole business
center they
still build something here with
ships
but what is is the the pure
attraction
is the Titanic studios that are
located
right here and do you know what
they
shoot in the Titanic Studios
movies Game
of Thrones oh okay oh my
goodness
there's Game of Thrones
you know tours and then look at
this go
check that out it's only a
hundred and
forty pounds what so needless
to say we
are not going to check out the
the Game
of Thrones Expo but the wife at
the
Wi-Fi is great and it connects
to the
internet so I'm very very happy
very
happy sounds good yes and
anyway we did
have a wonderful time with it
was great
up in the island it was nice to
be in
the fresh air I do you have to
say a
couple things about leaving
London
before we before we left
what was that Monday know what
they are
we now know Friday God wouldn't
we'd add
the show Thursday Friday before
we left
we did a little walk around we
had some
time to basically to walk
towards it in
your past Hyde Park up to
Buckingham
Palace and I was very excited
to show
Tina something that I recalls
seeing
when I was 15 years old when I
went to
London for the first time with
my dad
and that was speaker's corner
okay speakers corner is empty
yeah
there's no one there no one
speaks
anymore on speakers couriers
what it's
like it's legendary isn't there
supposed
to be this so speakers corner
is the one
who's not even the soapbox it
used to be
there know that now it's kind
of a
monument and and it explains
that in
1100 something rather they used
to do
public hangings there which
just a small
step from a public hanging to
free
speech it's about the same and
this
became the place where you could
exercise free speech and I
think it's
still the only place in the UK
where you
actually can exercise 100% free
speech
because they don't have a
constitution
where this is protected as far
as I know
they have Magna Carta it's not
explicitly spelled out that the
government cannot make any
rules against
the freedom of speech or
freedom of the
press which is what we have in
the
United States so yeah and then
people
just giving up they don't even
go there
anymore some people show up for
their
well and it was disappointing
what was
fantastic is we took a cab back
from the
London Eye to go get our
suitcases and
didn't go into London I did
yeah we sure
did an hour
put him in an hour isn't an
hour to go
around that thing no it's like
20
minutes 25 minutes no it's a
nice photo
op you know Tina's never been
to London
so it was perfect view of the
city
although though there's new
buildings
like the shard which is that
this is the
tall building that looks like
glass
shards that's now obfuscating
the the
Gherkin called the gherkin yeah
the
gherkin was behind is behind it
you
can't see the gherkin is a
shame this
should have blocked the
building of the
new building so we went so we
took a cab
back and of course I'm not
gonna take
any Ebers while I'm in London
you take a
proper British cab and if
you've never
in a British cab it it's a it's
an
interesting experience because
the the
cabbie sits up front here
obviously he's
kind of isolated but he has an
intercom
system and there's lights
everywhere it
says oh and this red light is
on then
the cabbie can hear you and
then he can
speak back to you and it had
the windows
were open and the most
difficult hearing
him because it's just so it's
like a it
kind of mean her but there was
a Telugu
yang but there was a telecoil
logo in
the cab and I've never used
this so I
switched my hearing aids to
telecoil
which is this induction based
system
where just a wire in the cab
will beam
the audio into the hearing aids
and it
worked really well it was it
was like
magical it's like oh all of a
sudden the
guys broadcasting right into my
head ah
yes really and now it's like
movie
theatres I'm I'm switching that
minute
an elevator
Oh telecoil let me turn it off
I've
never heard of this oh well
well you've
you've seen the logos you'll
see them on
ATM zero attention obviously
yeah it's
it's a it's a loop system an
induction
loop not everybody knows how it
works
I'm kind of surprised that
these exist
well they exist everywhere now
now now
that I've noticed one like oh
this stuff
is showing up everywhere yeah
but it
works really well which was the
surprising part like this'll
never work
but yeah sure sure enough and
that you
if you moved your head a little
forward
then it would fade out and you
have to
kind of be in the right spot
but it
worked
it was nice which was a good
feeling for
what came next which was the
Gitmo
nation trip through easyJet's
bag drop and boarding system
holy crap
it's gotten really bad I shall
explain
now easyJet is is I love
easyJet I've
always liked it I've always
liked their
their their prices I like I
don't
Stavros where the guy's name is
if he'd
the Greek guy if he still owns
it runs
it whatever but I've always
liked their
vibe kind of like Southwest
which I also
like although you can reserve
your your seats but you can no
longer
check in at the airport you
have to
check in online which is for me
was
problem number one because the
way they
asked you to do this is to
download
their app on your smartphone
well I
don't have an app and I don't
have a
smartphone so the next thing
you can do
is you can print it out and
take it with
you which in a hotel involves
cuz the
hotels don't seem to have
printers
anymore or business centers you
have to
email it to the front desk
notice - why
is this this is some this isn't
not a
good development in my opinion
I don't
know why I mean maybe people
have been
abusing it or they've been
wrecking the
good or I'm kind of baffled by
it myself
and that got me some hotels
obviously
still do I'm not everybody's
bailout but
I think people just haven't
have like oh
there's a computer over there
and then
you go over there doesn't work
and right
I think that people don't have
requirement for printing
anything
anymore
everything's digital just wait
until the
glitches start to happen people
all
right there yet this is a good
point
paperless notice before you
know people
flashing their phones they put
the Lord
boarding pass on their phone
and they go
underneath the light and it
seems to
work a lot and then it doesn't
work for
some people and I find it to be
risky
well personally well so here's
the
process so had it printed out
and by the
way you know Tina has has a her
iPhone
with her which she needs for
work
purposes but she refuses to
download any
app from some some'd outfit and
put the
easyJet app on your phone the
apps at
the is where all the spying
takes place
so it print out the the
boarding passes
and then we go to EZ Jenny
easyJet
has a new system where you drop
your bag
but you can't just drop your
bag oh no
you need to put your passport
in first
so it can scan your passport
then you
put the bags on then it says
look here
scans your face so now he's
made the
connection between your passport
official document photo and
your face
so thank you very much now
you're in the
system and then you go to the
boarding
gates yeah you go through the
security
which I have to say security was
reasonably easy or at least
pleasant
they had to open up all my bags
as usual
because now hey looks like that
guy's
got a vibrator in there let's
get it
embarrassing it's always the
microphone
and then you go to your gate
there's no
more gate check-in there's no
person you
go through another scanner
where you
scan your boarding card your
boarding
pass or am i printed boarding
pass in
this case and again it has to
identify
that you're the one and it
takes another
picture of you fed another
facial
recognition shot and then you
just walk
onto the plane so now my face
my you
know connected to my passport
is in the
system and no one asked me that
there's
no disclaimer there's no hey
just you
just so you know here's we're
gonna use
terms and conditions none of
that
did you think of making a goofy
face
yeah and you know at first I
have my
glasses on and then it wouldn't
do
anything I just sat there and
this kid
the way the camera works it's
on a it's
like on a pole and it will
automatically
slide up to your eye height and
it's an
it flashes like look here look
here
slave look here and then it
says look
again keep looking and nothing's
happening in the and some you
know
someone apparently at minding
the
processes take off your glasses
you take
your glasses off and then then
it
finally figured out who I was
now if you
can make it you can make all
the stupid
faces you want but it won't
connect you
to what it has in its system
which is
based on your passport photo
well this is a lousy system
I've gone
through these systems and I if
you're
wearing glasses it shouldn't
make a
difference no it doesn't work
at all
that's that's a cheap-ass
system they're
using so I look this up and
this is from
the UK gov this implementation
you see
here's a Gatwick Airport and
easyJet
this is from Mays was a year ago
launched biometric technology
trial and
Gatwick Airport has launched an
end-to-end biometrics trial
where
personal data collected at the
airport
self-service bag drops will be
recognized by new automated self
boarding gates the technology
aims to
simplify and speed up the
process for
passengers and reduce the risk
of human
error and again there's no real
you know
where's my where's my general
data
protection rules you know where
do I get
to opt in where do I get to say
I agree
to this egregious egregious
process yeah
and so if this is now how they
are going
to help you travel help you
travel wait
for the glitch bitch
yeah the wait for the glitch
bitch all
of targetdown world was gonna
screw up
your travel like no one else's
business
it won't take much especially
with a
using your little camera at the
end
before the gate yeah so you put
your
stand in there this is camera
the first
you you're in the queue there's
a queue
queue but the camera person
goes and
looks it and then they go in no
you walk
no you walk nothing no no no
you walk up
to the this like a gate you
know like
you know like a sheep before
you get the
the probe in your neck to
electrodes you
hear the slaughter gate yes
then first
you have to put your boarding
pass or
your phone I guess but I had
the printed
boarding pass on the scanner
and then it
goes okay this is who this has
to be and
then the camera directs you to
look at
it and then it makes the
connection that
you were the guy who dropped
the bag off
under this
boarding pass and you are the
guy who
dropped the bag off who is this
person
on your passport which is and
then what
and then it opens and then you
can get
on oh this is something that
opens oh
yeah it's just like they just
can't you
barely you know you know the
tube where
you get off the tube this is
another
thing people may not know if
you travel
by train in the United Kingdom
and you
buy your ticket don't discard
the ticket
after it's been checked on the
train and
this is a mistake this is a
travel tip
people do this often because in
hemos
normal countries right yeah
okay I'm
done I got a checked and he
just thought
you forget about it you cannot
get out
of the train station there's
turnstiles
that will prohibit you from
leaving
unless you insert your ticket
which you
just use for your trip then it
will let
you out yes like Bart does Bart
have
that okay you know you have to
you have
it yeah you could check in with
the
thing and then you check out
with the
thing right and and I
understand when
people are checking in checking
out with
their with a past like an easy
you know
Rail Pass that is a touch to
identify
this is a paper a paper ticket
yeah it's
the same with the original Bart
mm-hmm a
little paper thing you go in so
the same
the same type of slaughter gate
is what
you have to go to the airplane
it will
not open until it's approved
you until
it's approved yo it just really
irked me
frankly piss me off did not
like this at
all well it's not gonna get any
better
so you're gonna you just get
more and
more oKed
yes well I just find that and
I'm sure
that you know this is what the
TSA is
talking about but it's the
airline
that's doing this that's the
part this
is a commercial company who now
has all
my biometrics or certainly some
biometrics yeah what I don't
like it and
no where do I see and you know
don't
worry we'll take care of it
could they could get hacked to
hack my
face
well let's see you could next
step of
course would be if you have to
put your
palm down and scan your hand
mm-hmm oh
yeah well in addition to your
4/4 before
we get to the actual impact
your face
before we get to the before we
get to
the chip implant we have to do
the palm
yeah that's the next good hack
you're
facing to be some phony baloney
out
there this remote you know
somehow the I
think you could pry it seems to
me there
there are a finite number of
points that
are checked on the face when
they do the
face of facial recognition
software and
there's probably a way of
gobbing
somebody up with with paint and
pieces
of clay and whatever they get
the exact
same number well don't you
think no no
no no I think I think facial
recognition
is pretty advanced and I think
that I
think these guys have got it
down and
that you could Jack it yeah
well how
long is it gonna last is John
I'm giving
that up here's my point in the
past week
we've heard about multiple
Airlines
grounding their flights because
their
that transponder systems were
not
working they could not acquire
a GPS
signal what had happened is
aircraft
outfitted with Collins ad SB
navigation
and transponder equipment
received an
over-the-air update which
bricked there
within brick it but it broke
their
system yeah so so that's just
one
example of a glitch reported as
such a
glitch that that ruined
people's air
travel then you have target
target
glitch ruined your purchasing
process
just wait until something
happens to the
facial recognition database at
your
favorite airline these things
will stack
up it's going to be like
dominos I can't
understand why people don't see
that
this is just prone for badness
bad bad bad experience it
doesn't take a
genius to figure that out but
but I
think the big lich the major
glitch the
whopper mm-hmm is going to
supersede
everything you
Edie and that is the automated
update of
Windows Windows that brings down
everything that's the
motherlode that's
the one we've been waiting for
of course
it's gonna happen yeah oh yeah
of course
it will I remember when this
began just
as a little story here all right
this was during the era of MS
and when
Microsoft decided to compete
with AOL
and they came with their
product MSN was
very slowly deteriorated into
all sorts
of things that wasn't supposed
to be
it's supposed to be an AOL
clone mm-hm
but it was poorly done and
poorly
implemented and nobody not well
thought
out it was dumb in every way but
Microsoft was hoping to they
were they
kept watching how a o L did
these
automatic updates mm-hmm cuz
AOL would
do that they were just all of a
sudden
they just update and they would
you'd
had no control over this you
couldn't
stop it you couldn't wait you
can see
I'll do it tomorrow you
couldn't do it
right right right
oh yeah I remember that yeah it
would
take hours sometimes especially
if you
hadn't logged on in a while
yeah looked
at this and said you know our
life would
be so much easier when it's
support if
we everybody was on the exact
same
version so if we could do what
a AOL
does and they were always
jealous of AOL
and they've been trying to get
to that
point where they could do a
dish giant
and they just thought it was a
means to
an end
right to do these automatic
updates and
they do them kind of now but
they kind
of spread them out a little bit
and they
used to be patched Tuesday
which is now
you've devolved into whatever
the hell
it is I don't even know what
they're
doing but they want to do this
so one of
these days it's gonna happen
they're
gonna do a they're gonna have
the
be-all-end-all
microsoft patch mm-hmm and it's
gonna
bring your voice to sound
pretty country
people yeah the world country
the world
world the world the entire
world will go
down just along these lines
that happen
to have two clips from Amazon
the first
is with there's chief
technology officer
who I know very nerf ojos
because he's a
Dutch guy he's a really nice
guy but
here he is defending facial
recognition
their technology which as we
know he
is being used quite extensively
in many
of their products there what's
there
there Alexa video thing and of
course
the ring doorbell and but it's
great I
don't think we're pushing it I
think
we're building it we have built
a really
great product and I like the
guy it's so
hard for me not to make through
nerve or
how he's speaking because it's
just
freakin funny how he does that
but
anyway let's go on I don't
think we're
pushing it I think we're
building it we
have built a really great
product and
it's good for our customers to
start
designs whether they want to
use the
product or not they all of this
comes
down to how to fine-tune the
mobile yeah
and if customers are actually
having a
particular data set and really
tuned the
model really well you can work
with us I
think some would look at the
tuning of
the technology as a part of the
process
that right now is hurting
certain
people's in individual rights
if police
forces are using your
technology and
it's not fully ready as you
yourself
just saw stride is the tuning
the
technology worth it if that's
what it
means to people with real
people in the
world that's not my decision to
make
somebody might think it would
be a
Muslim no no I think you know
we have
cops I mean let's say your
storage
engine can be used by a bay for
very
good use can be used by that
says bad
actors it equally doesn't mean
we should
not be offering storage
technology now I
mean the fact that this
technology has
been used for goods in many
places it's
in society's direction to
actually
decide which technology is
applicable
under which conditions yeah
it's a
societal this discourse and
decision and
policymaking that needs to
happen there
to decide where I can apply
which
technologies if I think about
the
simplest answer is if you look
at steel
where your massive steel mills
they
built incubators very very
young born
babies get keep being healthy
and we
also make guns we still a
society to be
decides well it's acceptable
use and
what is not and that's pretty
much the
responsibility that Silicon
Valley takes
over
they create a society's problem
not ours
we make steel we just make
steel you
make a gun out of it whenever
you want
incubator if and reprehensible
it is
very cavalier that is
absolutely true
that's cavalier though it's
cavalier of
course it is
it's cavalier when you're
making money
hand over fist yeah right be
cavalier
and that's what you do speaking
of your
your architecture that couldn't
survive
a glitch holy crap
famous on web services goes
down you
kiss a lot goodbye quite a lot
I believe
that I believe I don't know I
believe
you should say I do believe
that the
Amazon is architected with a
lot of
redundancy that make it almost
impossible for the whole thing
to go
down sure it caused this kind
of problem
which is different than
Microsoft
breaking all the windows
machines out in
the world because nobody
there's no I
don't have a redundant way I
have a
couple Windows machines mhm and
I could
easily take I could like get
one bricked
and then take the other ones
offline if
I painted the realization what
was going
on which I probably wouldn't
I'd be dicking around trying to
fix it
and I could use the machines
that while
they were not hooked to the
internet but
I don't see anyway there's no
redundancy
the way that a big central
system would
have or should have and I'm
sure has
some that I'm less concerned
about AWS
than I am about these Windows
updates
well well well and I believe I
do
believe I do believe that govern
governments should be very
involved with
this technology and looking
very closely
at how it's being used and what
the
implications are and perhaps
perhaps
there's some things that should
be
legislated I definitely am
concerned
about data theft theft of my
face face
theft
you know someone hacked this
could just
steal my face and then use that
everywhere you know who knows
we were
just beginning with this now
instead
everyone's all jacked up and
Gitty about
deep fakes and I need to really
call out
NPR and maybe I'm just maybe
it's just
me but no it's not listen to
this story
now we have two government
officials we
got Warner calling for
legislation of
deep fakes and I think Schiff
is more
interesting and this is a
report from
NPR and listen very carefully
that this
an NPR still radio right it's
not it's
not video it's radio yes radio
and it's
never it's podcasting and radio
which is
repurposed
radio well listen to this story
what
you'll hear next was never
actually said
it looks like a Facebook office
it looks
like Mark Zuckerberg giving an
interview
it looks like his mouth is
moving along
with the words imagine this for
a second
one man with total control of
billions
of people stolen data all their
secrets
their lives their futures but
that
wasn't the founder of Facebook
okay
so just rest the story I want
to play
but I do not understand how
when you're
listening to something you can
say that
this sounds like Mark
Zuckerberg because
it does not and you played a
deep fake
the other day and now I that
play that
that exact one right so let me
play
Zuckerberg now at the same time
it's
important not to lose sight of
some of
the more straightforward and
and larger
ways that Facebook plays a role
in
elections how the hell does
that sound
like this if you imagine this
for a
second one man it's not even
the right
inflection total control the
elections
are wrong it's everything's
wrong
there's a little I know what
where the
connection is I think when you
see the
video people goes it's like
when we look
at
yes I and we here's a ballot
about
Cilicia I know but I want to
say it
again but let me just say
something
which is I think dig dig
there's a
little gravelly aspect to his
voice and
I think they captured that it's
not even
fucking close no no not in the
same
league at all when you see the
video
apparently NPR gets as stupid as
everybody else but that must be
Zuckerberg it's not my voice
actors who
do a better job than this I
would agree
well that's true in fact the
one of the
Obama one that is floating
around was
actually done by peel them yes
right he
just he does a good impression
of Obama
and he just they just made
Obama's mouth
move around a little
differently which
was pretty poorly done and he
did the
voice and it sounded oh there's
Obama
but that could be actually both
of these
could be if you went through
one of
those voice systems how can one
of these
reporters hasn't done this
thank you
here's my point as we
deconstruct this
how is it possible that the NPR
does a
minute and a half report I'm
gonna play
the whole report that does that
no one
thought to listen to what
Zuckerberg
sounds like because it's not
him and and
this oh my god it's machine
learning and
all kinds of deep sakes it's a
marvel
it's real it's not realistic
you can get
this probably a hundred people
you could
hire to do a better job for
your deep
fake but now somehow this is
illusion
being created which we need to
legislate
clearly that machine learning
can create
deep fakes again the real
Zuckerberg
these effects operated much
larger
scales of a hundred times or a
thousand
times bigger than what we're
discussing
here today and here's the deep
faking
along with the warts imagine
this for a
second one man with total
control of
billions of people stolen data
all their
secrets their lives their
futures
many of these dynamics were new
in this
election and at a much larger
scale than
had ever been seen before it
history
that wasn't the founder of
Facebook it
was instead a deep fake created
by an
artist in the
UK and posted on Instagram this
technology is quickly becoming a
national security concern
bullshit the
house intelligence committee
held a
hearing Thursday warning of the
threat
with sufficient training data
these
powerful deep fake generating
algorithms
can portray a real person doing
something they never did or
saying words
they never uttered that's
Committee
Chairman Adam Schiff the
disaster
scenarios are obvious a deep
fake
showing a 20/20 candidate
inciting
violence against an ethnic
group or
false audio of a military
official
giving orders to mass troops at
a border
how come no one ever said oh my
goodness
a voice actor could do this oh
we need
laws against acting there is no
easy
solution
up until now social media
companies have
a general legal immunity to
content
posted on their platform but
that may be
changing listen to this
question from
Schiff is it time to do away
with that
immunity so that the platforms
are
required to maintain a certain
standard
of care any effort addressing
the threat
of deep fakes
yes standard of care involves
increasing
mean well you'll hear you'll
hear it
they've actually make an
interesting
point play with that immunity
so that
the platforms were required to
maintain
a certain standard of care any
effort
addressing the threat of deep
fakes
involves increasing public
awareness but
even this poses a problem it's
called
the liars dividend
here's citroen explaining what
that is
once you get everyone all
educated then
you know you have wrongdoers
points a
real video genuine audio and
video that
show them doing something
illegal or
wrong right and they get to say
ads and
deep fake pay no attention these
technologies are evolving
rapidly to the
point that almost anyone can
use it
here's Lindsey Gorman the
fellow for
emerging technologies at the
Alliance
for securing democracy what
used to be
something that was available
only to
sophisticated machine learning
becoming
available to the general public
so as
the witnesses to Thursday's
committee
hearing a test it may only be a
matter
of time until deep fakes affect
our
politics and our national
security I
mean it's just so it's so
ludicrous and
that NPR an audio
programming outfit says oh my
goodness
that's just like Zuckerberg
can't you
hear it I mean oh here's
another DS guy
I don't understand if you're
gonna do a
long report like this and look
into this
and be especially if you're
gonna be
panicky and hand-wringing it
sounded
like an old woman mm-hmm of why
you
don't bring it aren't
journalists I'm
asking you I should I can
answer this
why aren't journalists doing
what you're
supposed to do which is have
you know
competing opinions here's the
yes to no
and the maybe and have bringing
that
bring out the guy who is a
voice graham
guy oh guy can run it through a
machine
and said this is clearly not
Zuckerberg
voice
problem solved we noticed that
video had
taken over people's brains many
years
ago we used to we don't do it
anymore I
just like just bribe one a 20
second
clip we used to play clips
called bad
acting clips we'd take you John
in
particular you take a clip from
a
television show CSI as an
example and
you just listen to the audio
and then
you hear how bad the acting is
why can't
you just love her she's so easy
to love
you know nothing about my
daughter you
hear me
nothing I know that she is good
and
strong and deserves all the
love this
world has to give can't you see
that
sounds so believable I mean
that is
totally great that's Emmy
award-winning
shit right there ladies and
gentlemen
so people are losing the
ability to hear
and anyway Warner senator
Wright senator
Warner yeah yeah believes he
ties this
deep fake thing into we need to
allegis
because this is about
legislating now
they're only saying social
media I have
no idea where you probably
would want to
think about legislating the
technology
but okay yeah I guess social
media they
want to take away the section
203
they're doing in a very stupid
way and
this is well you'll hear it
Trump in
2016 he may have been a naive
candidate
then but he welcomes Russia
that they've
got dirt on it and lay it out
well you
would have thought after two
and a half
years in office he would have
learned
that that's not appropriate
behavior
that is you know that this man
has so
little moral Center that he
doesn't
understand taking help from a
foreign
government is wrong
then we need to put in place a
law they
would say if a foreign
government tries
to intervene in the election in
a
presidential campaign the
campaign has
an affirmative obligation to
report that
to the FBI there's been lots of
concern
voiced by a lot of my Republican
partners that they know our
election
system is not safe in 2020 and
I think
the least we should do is put
this law
in place that would say you've
got to
report to the FBI if we've got
foreign
agents intervening secondly
let's pass
on election security law to
make sure
there's a paper trail after
every vote
so people have belief in the
integrity
of their vote and third let's
go ahead
and put some guardrails around
some of
these social media companies so
you
cannot use deep fake technology
or
create fake personas the way the
Russians did on Facebook in
2016 what
what
the Russians use deep fakes all
of a
sudden holding macro talk about
jumping
to conclusions Oh Amos Ludacris
so the
reporter talking to him asked
him
immediately what were the deep
fakes
that the Russians did to get a
response
right no they went straight to
another
topic on my show now of course
not
it's just accept them what what
deep
fakes
yeah we're involved in the 2016
campaign
specifically and he would have
with any
what would he say
well what is wrong with these
reporters
this is great stuff so this
backs into
this interview that Trump did
President
Trump did with George
Stephanopoulos
where and to me it was just one
big
troll yeah it was like well you
know if
I got some Oppo research on I'm
not
gonna call the FBI I want to
take a look
at the Oppo research first and
everybody's freaking out oh no
oh no oh
no no you have if if you get
information
from the Russians or from the
British I
guess that's also a foreign
government
British the Canadian is
Canadian the
Italians you need to report
that to the
FBI exactly like you know the
Democrats
didn't do so they're trying to
back this
into a law and in fact it is
Senate bill
12 47 the duty to report act
and here is
pantsy explosively explaining
so that is
part of our legislate
investigate
litigate what explodes you know
pantsy
explosive our legislate
investigate
litigate legislate investigate
litigate
talking about what the here we
go
Virginia we're doing this and
at the
same time we are honoring our
oath of
office to protect and defend the
Constitution you see that she's
introducing a bill or the
concept of
this bill that's that now
running
through the Senate and she's
trying to
say
this is our responsibility is
legislate
investigate and what was the
third one
litigate litigate that
apparently is her
job now that is the job of
everybody in
Congress United States
yesterday the
president gave us once again
evidence
that he does not know right
from wrong
it's a very sad thing very sad
thing
that he does not know right
from wrong I
believe that he has been
involved in a
criminal cover-up I've said
that before
and our investigation is
demonstrating
that the molder report shows
now listen
to the flub obstruction of
justice
intent at least ten perhaps
eleven
places but for the president to
be so
cavalier to disregard to be
indifferent
to all and any sense of ethics
about who
we are as a country to say he
would
invite aren't an intervention
further
the intelligence community with
great
competences put forth that the
Russians
interfere interfered in our
election
that's an assault on our
democracy an
assault on our democracy this
president
says it's a hoax he supposes he
takes an
oath to protect and defend the
Constitution but I guess it
doesn't
include him in terms of being
to be held
accountable to obey the law so
we have
in a package that we're putting
forth in
light of the mother report a
package of
legislation Duty report if
someone comes
to a mandating that campaigns
report
foreign up offers of assistance
so she
is now taking up all research
which is
what the president discussed
multiple
times she actually says the
word up and
then she turns it into
something else
if legislation Duty report
someone comes
to you for mandating that
campaigns
report foreign operative offers
of a so
instead of opera upper area
offers
shouldn't even
it's so self-evident as a
matter of
ethics but we'll have to
clarify it
these people are so you can
work with
thee with the steel dossier
well this is
this is this is why I think it's
trolling because this is
exactly what
happened
they took Oppo research I'm
sorry
offers from a foreign country
literally
from a British spy and there was
involvement from Italy and
Australia and
Russia and now they're gonna
create a
law against it that's I can
actually
I'll tell you about a little
bit about
the text of this I don't know
if this is
gonna pass or not it's the duty
to
report Act which they just
pulled out of
their ballots I want to mention
something I do and of course if
we don't
have that we should play the
entire clip
and I keep forgetting to get it
the
Stephanopoulos thing with Trump
because
Trump's having a normal
conversation
with him as though he's a
person I
actually expected you would
have it
that's why I didn't know you
know I
expected that I would have a -
I would
expect that I wouldn't have it
for the
lash wrong with you but on
Wednesday
last week I know it's so
disappointing
we're taking forever to get to
this but
but I do remember a couple of
points in
there and Trump with shrugging
his
shoulders and he says to
Stepanov is
with great honesty you know
I've never
called the FBI right and I
start was
thinking about it have you ever
called
the FBI no for something no I
what is
their number 1-800 and call as
I've
never called the FBI to report
some I
don't know who has ever called
the FBI
it's just things they do them
with their
own thing but then I'm reminded
of
Thomas Drake the Ennis NSA
whistleblower
who said he says at the
beginning of all
his speeches do not talk to the
FBI ever
ever exactly yeah
in big trouble with stuff you
say yeah I
mean they're Flynn talk to the
FBI look
at having to him so here is
this Senate
bill 1247 and and they kind of
try to
make this Oppo research sound
like it
would be something that was
given to you
you see here we have
in general if a political
committee or
applicable individual receives
an offer
orally in writing or otherwise
of a
prohibited contribution donation
expenditure or disbursement the
committee or applicable
individual cell
shall within 24 hours of
receiving the
offer report to the Federal
Bureau of
Investigation to the extent
known the
name address and nationality
the form
national making the offer the
amount and
type of contribution donation
expenditure or disbursement in
general
should be unlawful to knowingly
and
willingly fail to comply with
this
subsection oh this could be a
nightmare
if you think about it somebody's
impossible to do yeah yeah well
think
about somebody being spammed by
fake
offers oh sure of from foreign
governments just keep sending
them in as
they don't report them you know
you can
bust them and I like how they
add in
here the the definition of
applicable
individual who has the duty to
report
means an agent of political of a
political committee a candidate
an
individual who is an immediate
family
member of a candidate hello
Donald
junior or any individual
affiliated with
a campaign of a candidate an
immediate
family member individual
affiliated with
the campaign for this purposes
the term
immediate family member means
with
respect to a candidate parent
parent and
lost spouse adult child sibling
and and
it goes on and on but this
really
invites entrapment it's big
time so I I
don't know if this will pass it
probably
wants this kind of dumb there's
already
laws on the books but it's it's
just so
funny to me that they you know
they're
all outraged by this and that is
disappointing neither of us got
this
clip it's about opposition
research and
they're all outraged that that
the
president said not right I'll
take it
everyone else does everyone
does this is
what it's that's why it has a
name Oppo
research everybody knows this
I'll take
it oh oh he's above the law
breaking the
law huh oh they've gone berserk
unbeliev notes but it's like
one of
their things just think they
looking for
these I don't know what they
hope that
these things hit the home run or
something I'm not sure I have
no idea
but it's I mean is anyone
running the
country anymore what are we
doing I know
no one's running the country in
my
opinion was a good thing let's
take a
look at it up with I got
nothing to say
if that's a good thing I guess
is a good
thing what are we catching up
with let's
do the Trump campaign outlines
on CBS
Dukey president Trump is
getting ready
to kick off his re-election
campaign but
just days before mr. Trump's
announcement that will seek a
second
term some opponents are trying
to keep
him from finishing this one
calling on
Congress to launch impeachment
proceedings Nikole Killion is
at the
White House President Trump
spent part
of his birthday weekend at the
golf
course ready to take a campaign
swing to
Florida Tuesday to launch his
reelection
he started making his case for
2020 on
Twitter riding the Trump
economy is
setting records and has a long
way up to
go
however if anyone but me takes
over in
2020 there will be a market
crash the
likes of which has not been
seen before
he added we are doing great in
the polls
even better than in 2016 and
will be
packed at the Tuesday
announcement rally
we've had over a hundred
thousand RSVPs
so far they keep coming in
every single
enthusiasm I think it means the
enthusiasm is pretty good out
there but
it rallies across the country
protestors
sounded more calls for the
president's
impeachment
and he continued to take heat
for these
comments to ABC News if someone
else
offers you information on
opponent
should they accept it or should
they
call the FBI I think maybe you
do both I
think you might want to listen
like
trying to want them back
I reported to the Attorney
General the
FBI Democratic presidential
candidate
Pete Buddha judge tells face the
nation's Margaret Brennan the
president
should draw a clear line if you
think
there's a foreign effort to
tamper with
an American election and you're
an
American who cares about
America you
call the FBI this shouldn't be
hard the
president and his campaign team
disputes
some polls that show him
trailing key
Democrats alike frontrunner Joe
Biden a
trump adviser tells CBS News
expect the
President to unleash more
attacks
against the former vice
president as he
jumps into a full campaign mode
Rena
Nikole Killion at the White
House can
you imagine if this is a bill
like this
past you the people the FBI
would be
overwhelmed if people actually
stuck to
it
the amount under now that I
think about
it I did try to get the yeah I
called
the FBI once I I went it was
had to do
with it was had to do with
these robo
calls or something along those
lines and
so you go to the FBI to find
who to call
and there's nobody to call and
but they
say if you always you have this
problem
to some scam go here and you go
to a
website and then the website
get gives
you a bunch of instructions
that are
just like too much for anybody
in their
right mind to do they're
obviously do
not want to be contacted on
every little
stupid thing call your local
police is
their attitude and it's
apparent that
the FBI would be against this
because
they they would be just swamped
with
bullcrap you know if everything
the way
I read the the proposed bill I
mean
people in Congress received
immense
lobbying lobbyists contact them
all the
time by just by the definition
of the
bill you could say that a lot
of these
lobbyists are trying to
interfere
hey here's what I'd like to
have done
it's just it makes no sense
especially
when the lobbyists not you
mentioned
there's a lot of foreign agent
lobbyists
to crawlin all over the place
are from
every country in the world
luckily though everyone voted
for a
salary increase so they won't
have to
you know they won't have to
take money
from lobbyists and they won't
have to do
insider trading is Alexandria
Ocasio
Cortez said so know it what it
does it
gives them more money to trade
with
another forty five hundred
bucks by some
puts oh man so I just was
embrace some
new said none of the media is
picking up
on all right and I got a kick
out of it
when I spotted it and I thought
it would
be something worth listening to
Oh Jay
Simpsons decided to go on
Twitter hate
where the world is yours truly
now
coming soon to Twitter you'll
get to
read all my thoughts and
opinions on
just about everything now
there's a lot
of fake oj accounts out there
so this
one at the real oj 32 is the
only
official one so it should be a
lot of
fun Oh getting even to do so
god bless
take care it's getting even with
somebody here's the second post
he's
done too now hey two of the
world you
know for years people have been
able to
say whatever they want to say
about me
set the record straight more
importantly
I'll be able to talk about
everything
especially sports fantasy
football and
even politics but for now let
me just
say to my fellow father's out
there
happy Father's Day you god
bless so this
is a new low for Twitter and
where's his
blue checkmark oh he doesn't
have a
checkmark no we need all right
we need
to start a campaign get OJ a
checkmark
so he puts up these two posts
and he's
already up to three hundred
twenty-five
thousand verify oj hashtag
verified oj
you'll be over a million
shortly to do
these half-drunken kind of
rants or
whatever's gonna get back at
some PC
drink gonna be great you see a
drinker
is he a drinker I don't know
but he's
getting old is could be just
old age but
but whatever the case this is
gonna be
great and I think it's marks a
new low
for Twitter can I can I just
give a tea
has refused to cover the story
can I offer some advice to some
colleagues out there I would
like to
offer advice to Spotify and
Pandora
gimlet this is the guy you want
to do a
podcast with this is the
podcast you
want on your network you want
the oj
cast that is money in the bank
people I
agree as sick as it is yeah
it's it's
exactly true shoot maybe we
should just
produce it just get a hold of
them eg
see you can be sure he's got a
business
guarantee mmm a DM at the real
oj 30 to
go on John
you're the sports guy everybody
knows he
knows you the juice yes the
juice is
loose the juice pot the juice
cast you
scam I'm seeing it I'm seeing
some great
ads you know some great
products soon
I've set we do Ginsu knife sets
on them
you know have that as a net you
call it
the murder cast by the way I'm
a little
disappointed you've not talked
about the
biggest sports story of the
decade
yes Golden State Warriors
I missed that game so what
would happen
to get the Raptors who are they
I hear candy Naevia kicked your
ass
Golden State how disappointing
is that
and why is Canada in the NBA
how does
that work
you know this came up at the
table the
other day and people don't
realize that
that basketball was invented in
Canada
no and follow follow that up
the first
NBA game in history was first
played in
Toronto huh
so that's why they probably
could use a
couple of teams they could use
one on
they were on the west coast I
did not
realize that so so Canada
invented
basketball that's what this
does just
what think that this came up in
the in
all those games they were
playing over
and over again yeah huh
all right well that was written
by John
nays bitches I recall but
Naismith
kanays Naismith Naismith not
knees bass
nation you know more than I do
no I'm really I'm really I have
the
troll room open that's how I
how for you
could for a second think I knew
more
about sports than you just
dissing
wattage you surprised me that's
why
anyway back to you yeah you
could be a
closet sports junkie for all I
know back
to I think that the glove cast
maybe is
a better name for the oj the
glove cast
we are so sick yes podcast
ladies and
gentlemen they're taking over
the world
witnessed the BBC back in the
real world
it was announced today that
this show is
being replaced in the autumn by
a
podcast podcast I mean there's
no limit
to the depths of depravity to
which
BBC's regulars are prepared
this is a
podcast anyway it was a podcast
if God
had meant pods to be cast he
wouldn't
have invented the wireless the
good news
is he's free
it's one of my favorite clips
of the
Williams depravity I got an ISO
rating
this guy was it Andrew Neil
whatever his
name is and he knew what the
beginning
again back in the real world it
was
announced today that this show
is being
replaced in the autumn by a
podcast a
podcast I mean there's no limit
to the
depths of depravity with BBC
schedulers
are prepared to say it makes me
so proud
I'm very very proud of that I'm
not
going to end with that I would
like to
thank you for your courage and
say in
the morning to you the man who
put the C
in Canadian basketball Johnson
well in
the morning to you mr. Adam
curry also
in the morning to all the ships
at sea
and the boots on the ground and
the subs
in the water and all the games
and all
the nights out there and in the
morning
to our trolls we got a lot of
them the
trolls are in the troll room
you can
find them at No Agenda stream
comm where
you can also listen live to the
program
and there's many programs it's
24/7
there's always someone in there
listening commenting trolling
and we're
not bashful about it it's
trolls so go
in there and show your best
troll äj--
no agenda stream calm and we
also like
to say in the morning to CSB I
think I
think CSB has changed his his
name on
the art generator I don't know
you could
do that yeah you can apparently
and he's
he what is his name then
comment let me
guess it's Charlize Charlie
Smith
Bingham well it turns out it's
the name
CSB has now been hijacked by
some dude
named comic strip blogger
oh no and
who's very mad at you because
you
apparently have blocked him on
Twitter
so just yeah well that's
because he was
well I not that I don't like
the guy
yeah he's blocked him though
that
doesn't that's not a real
likeable thing
to do well you know he was he
was I was
getting too much material stop
with all
the great material is what
you're saying
that's that's what a block
means to you
it's just too much good
material please
I have to slow you down it is
I'm not
there to do I'm just there to I
don't
know why I'm there I don't even
know why
I go on Twitter I should get
off of it
well this was the artwork for
episode 11
46 the title of that was
googors and csb
AKA comic strip blogger did a
great
piece of art it was the Fort
Trump logo
it was nice it was done with
kind of
pixelated camouflage background
and it
made sense in context of the
episode
that we had and we appreciate
it it's no
agenda art generator calm where
you can
see all the artwork that
submitted where
you can submit artwork and lots
of
people do and we always have to
make a
very difficult choice and it
was the CS
B's who we chose and again
thank you
it's a part of our value for
value model
it really helps when we have
fresh
artwork to show because people
it
catches people's eye in where
they find
podcasts everywhere so thank
you well we
have three executive producers
and again
no associates for some time in
a row
this is odd yeah also this is
the second
time in a row that we had no
checks that
are over $50 that came in in
fact that
pilot checks is very small it
doesn't
make a lot of sense to me
unless that's
the way the intelligence
agencies are
sending us money taxes and
checks and
we're not doing they're not
doing we're
not doing it right or not doing
their
bidding hmm I don't know what
it is we
said wrong but at the top of
the list is
in fact I have the bonus clip
this is
Sir Dave fuga Zotoh hold on oh
where was
your bonus clip
I didn't I didn't listen to
your to your
bonus clip so I didn't know
what it was
that now I know what it is
let's just
make sure we recognize that
name again
fugu all right sir Dave coming
played
that for j-just she's in her
she's in
the office and she's doing
something and
she hears this photo screech
what the
hell is that I played it again
and it
makes you laugh because
Fletcher cracks
his voice and some very
controlled way
at the end of the fuga Zotoh
just on the
end there isn't it yeah it's
unbelievable how good this guy
is and so
I was going back and forth and
I said
maybe we should reintroduce the
old we
had a gimmick about four years
ago I
think where we would let people
donate a
certain amount of money they
get a they
get a Fletcher call out oh
that's a cool
idea yes we did it but it's a
long time
ago let me see some of the
yells we have
of course there's the classic
it's the
crack at the voice every single
time yes
very no I mean that is a skill
that I I
was talking to Jay about I said
this is
a voiceover skill that is not
something
anyone can do and I don't know
anyone
else who can do it is like this
I mean
it's unbelievable
yeah that wasn't this good one
it's it's
funnier when he's when it's
just him
when it's no music screaming
yeah no
yeah I don't know if I have any
ways oh
oh yeah yeah yes this is the
one ladies
and gentlemen it is time to
realize
that's a good one right so
there's a
promotion you're working on
very good
till we get to the promotion
anyone who
donates sir Dave did $999.99
anyone who
does a grand or more will will
get a
call out for him oh wow yeah
meantime
but the promotion will be the
original
promotion I went back and forth
with
Fletcher John with about about
this
mm-hmm
and he reminded me that it was
a it was
an old PI donation at 314 when
everyone
five that we did it for and we
did it
for about two or three months
but I was
thinking just doing it for
about a month
but if anybody wants to do a
thousand
bucks at any time well I think
he'd be
more amenable to the throw out
that
leave your last name and then
you can
put it on your phone or
whatever you
want to do that was the
original idea
let me get to the donation so
Sir David
threw 99999 this donation three
times
33333 is a recognition and
thanks for
all the karmic goodness
requested during
show eleven eleven the super
uber mega
karma episode okay melody is
well on her
way to success as a grad
student student
lady Isabel enjoyed great
success in the
last Irish dance competition
out in
Portland
yes I'm retired from the Army
as of the
30th of the month and have
landed a job
in our house just sold not
saying that
requesting karma back then had
anything
to do with all of it but hey it
certainly didn't hurt all you
freeloaders out there and you
know who
you are should try donating
some time in
getting some of your own it's a
super
uber mega amazing or as he puts
it
amazing balancing all that
however Brad
my buddy with the brain cancer
went into
the hospice a couple of days
ago and we
brothers and arms our watch why
and waited in watching and
waiting mode
kind of a bummer some F cancer
karma
would be appreciated let me do
that
right here right now let me do
it that
you've got karma gotta separate
that out
I'm kind of lost right for a
while but I
recently went back and updated
my
accounting and apparently I
leveled up
the by count I request a
peerage upgrade
during today's show and would
like to
expand my territory to include
America's
heartland and the Saudi Arabia
hmm also
an episode or two ago the
question arose
as to what whether or not
account
count is in the level is a
level where
they're not count there was
last show is
a level in the no gender
peerage system
according to Dvorak /or peerage
and the
book of knowledge page on
Italian
nobility count is synonymous
with earl
go oh not by count okay we
don't use
counting and we don't use the
know the
Italian nobility we use the
British yes
finally according to the update
from the
UAE s last episode Riyadh is
also hot as
I typed this it's 100 throw

humidity
that our UAE producer is likely
enjoying

so you can add to his collection
you've got karma as serendipity
came in
from Colombo Portugal Portugal
I believe
yes for 3234 once all
operational
expenses are taken care if I'd
like to
suggest that part of my
donation goes to
help add and pay a romantic
dinner to
mrs. mrs. Tina the keeper
enjoy your vacations here yes
we're
going to Portugal tomorrow and
that's
where our actual fight I
remember that
that's where the actual
honeymoon takes
place you're gonna go to old
Porto
possibly we're so tired
you're gonna go to Lisbon and
hang out
we're going to the Algarve and
to hang
out you gonna wear the Algarve
oh I
never heard of it the Algarve
it's like the entire that's the
beautiful coast is where you
vacation
the Algarve it's a region okay
well
anyway I wanted to say anyone
that likes
it has never visited Portugal
and you're
a photographer mm-hmm Lisbon
it's the
most photographic city I've
ever been to
not because it's ornate and
beautiful
like Barcelona it's kind of
dingy put in
a very photogenic way by the
way I'm a
regular passenger on the
emergency row
of the oak Opio AMS flights so
if you
see a sales looking guy seated
there
drop an ITM it might be me
finally we're
not we're flying from Belfast
and we're
flying easyJet so unfortunately
we won't
we won't see you finally a gift
to the
no agenda listeners with for
human
resources already I'm donating
all of my
baby-making Karma I won't cut
my tubes
but I'm done please play the
Hillary
cackle - to the head then
that's wrong
followed by brown shoes karma
you've got a karma by the way I
appreciate very much but the
keeper
actually is paying for this
part of the
journey for the Portugal rest
du port
Dougal mm-hmm yes she booked
everything
she the best
well a couple of things I
should mention
because I think Portugal's
fantastic but
it has some of the lowest price
wines
high quality wines locally made
dry and
sweet but mostly but the dry
wines are
outstanding and the whites are
terrific
they're way under priced
worldwide you
get over here too cheap they're
extremely inexpensive in
Portugal and
they also do the same thing
with our
olive oils so all of those are
way under
priced so if you're you can
find a good
one you get it for next to
nothing and
get their check-in luggage and
bring it
back I'm sure that in the in 11
years
we've discussed it but you know
I was
very famous for a little while
in
Portugal when it was still a
third-world
country
yeah you talked about this cuz
when I've
never been to Portugal pre he
you so I
never got to see the dirt roads
that are
now giant freeways yeah it was
so this
this was 1982 or 83 and there
was an
international consortium called
Europa
television and Europa
television was all
the public broadcasters from in
the EU I
think maybe was even a
precursor to the
Euro the you know like the EU
Eurovision
coming together and so people
are doing
news and sports and we provided
a half
hour of music videos every
single day
and typically this was
broadcast it
would be as you know because
Europe had
a lot of cable penetration so
you could
get all these crazy channels
with Sky
channel those music boxes MTV
but in
Portugal they only had two
stations RTP
one RTP - and it was
over-the-air there
was no cable but for some
reason they
decided every day in this a
public
broadcaster to take our show
called
countdown and air that on
television
over the air so here were kids
who and
Portugal was a third world
country in
the early 80s I mean it was
this is all
before the big EU money came in
so
they're just nothing but dirt
roads
and now here was a guy who
although the
first time they're seeing Bon
Jovi
videos they'd never seen this
before
I say Janet Jackson Michael
Jackson a
Tina Turner and and people
would send me
mail postcards remember those
and there
would be a post sacks full I
mean just
huge mail bags and I'd be
reading their
notes and so when we went there
to just
you know just do a couple shows
from
Portugal we were at the airport
and you
know we had to import all of
our camera
gear back in the day it was a
lot bigger
and you had to have a carne
ciear and et
a carne which was it's like a
travel
document for your for your gear
so that
you know when you enter the
country and
you leave again you didn't sell
off some
hundred thousand dollar piece of
equipment that they didn't know
about so
it took a little while for us
to get
through customs but we kept
hearing this
weird sound and I thought it
was the the
baggage carousel at the airport
which it
could have been because a
rickety but it
turned out when we finally had
the carne
set and we're going through
customs the
doors open there were five
thousand kids
standing there waiting for Adam
Coryell
Adam Cooley out of Korea and
I'd made
jokes on the show like oh we're
going to
go into Portugal yeah now all
right
girls make sure you you show up
in my
hotel with the Lamborghini dude
I still
have paper clippings front page
where
girls showed up with their dad's
Lamborghini to give to me it was
outrageous and just one of the
trickiest
things I've ever witnessed and
now no
one knows who I am it's daunting
it's nothing is leaking so I'm
gonna see
I'm gonna see if we can find
the old
people while we're there like
hey man
remember me baby let me show
you a
picture of what I used to look
like get
a badger but maybe maybe I'll
get some
giant buttons like the
podcasting but we
had a big Jam here with your
face on it
this used to be my I used to be
famous
sure you remember me
all right but maybe someone will
recognize you it happens yes
maybe not
we'll find out not I do I do
recall
someone gave me a port wine
from my
birth year 1964 and and I save
that and
when I turn I think 40 I opened
it god
that was some dreck had
completely gone
bad it was horrible no 64 is
not a good
year now if they were smart and
giving
you a 63 which is still good to
this day
just out the three renata for
no no no
they had a followed killer port
ID oh
man I remember at a certain
point I was
we had all these autograph
sessions and
he was like and we had this
promoter
right
Alessandro Bosh was it named
Alessandro
Bosh we say it today we take
autographs
very close by and we're getting
this a
Renault Espace van and we drive
for
three and a half hours through
these
dirt roads like what are we
doing and
then to be a crowd of several
hundred
kids there but then the punk
showed up
and they were on you know like
mopeds
and bicycles and they were
spitting at
the car and jumping on it was
it was
crazy I got to find some of
that video
I got a post that if I can find
any yeah
good times
thank God the EU came in and
straightened those people out
well
enslave them into obedience
well they
were under their old rulers it
wasn't
much better

first step number four I
recently took
that was number three
number four I recently took my
first
step into the property ladder

these design to be stuck up
items and
you can what well it's hooks

there's a shelf so there's no
holes you
don't drill any holes and it
says it's
it's it's you have to look at

system but
you can hang up up to like 30
40 pounds

holes the
stuff just sticks to the wall

thank these
three folks for becoming the
executive
producers for show 11:47
yeah and and once again no
associate
executive producers which is
very odd
very odd we don't see that
often he did
mention the Cincinnati meetup I
do Missy
Dave there was no agenda
torrent Dave
back in the day at the London
meetup he
did do a $50 cash on the spot
donation
he'd neglected to add a note he
just
wanted to be deduced and I have
a report
from the Copenhagen Meetup
which was
just the other day this is from
Eric who
organized greetings from
Copenhagen we
just finished our first
successful
meetup six producers including
two
Knights who came out of hiding
to speak
freely and then nurse hangovers
the the
Dane hangover apparently and
discuss the
future of Scandinavia from a no
agenda
perspective it was a huge
success and
plans are already in the works
to make
it a regular thing Adam I hope
when you
were finally done with
honeymoons they
were able to join us next time
I'd love
to go to Copenhagen I would -
I'll go in
honor of the Copenhagen nights
in our
lengthy discussion of the
number 33 and
how much Adam really knows
about its
origin I've made a donation
6666 will be
thanking him later on of course
as this
is my first donation please d
douche me
and kindly call out pablo
ponting as a
massive douche bag thanks to
you and Jon
for your hard work hope you are
proud is
that it brings six strangers
together
halfway across the world yes I
think we
are extremely proud of this Jon
I'm
actually stunned by it
I'm although I'm not surprised
and I'm
specifically not surprised
about the
fact that people all get along
because
the nature of the show is it
does have a
mindset that if people
subscribe to it
they will be happier they won't
have an
inflamed amygdala yes and they
will get
along with each other yeah
they always do and I've never
you know
yet to see anybody say
otherwise you
wouldn't come to the thing if
you
weren't a normal person and the
fact
that they're doing it that
they're
already planning the next one
means good
news good news there now say oh
here's
your D douchey you've got karma
so thank
you thank you to our executive
producers
of episode 11 47 and you'd
certainly
made up picked up some slack
which is
highly appreciated for those of
you who
aren't interested in our value
for value
proposition all you have to do
is think
about what this show was worth
to you
what kind of value it provided
this
episode on more than one
episode how
many been listening to and just
send
this to us and you can do that
very
simply at Dvorak org slash n
hey that's
right I'll be doing another
show from
the honeymoon on Thursday make
sure
you're there our formula is
this we go
out we're here people in the
mouth
so I have a clip that confirms
something
I was brought up a couple years
ago you
were never you were all in on
this - hi
this is Steve patch anak hey
what are
you doing on my beat with my
handler
Steve the genic on North Korea
tourism
for the most part North Korea
right now
is a country waiting to be
helped and
why do I say that there are
beaches
there on the southeast of North
Korea
and they want to open it up and
make it
a tourist attraction by October
2019 and
Trump is the right person in
the right
place for the right time in
order to
make that type of deal with Kim
jong-nam
now Kim Jong Il knows he has to
open up
North Korea there are no more
missiles
he can fire there's no more
radiation
that he can shoot out because
it's
really not a benefit to North
Korea he
knows that tourism primarily by
the
Chinese last year I think about
a
hundred thousand Chinese came
into the
southeast a part of North Korea
on the
beaches was not enough he
wanted to open
it up to the world and the way
he could
do that was to establish a
personal
relationship what we would call
in
Chinese Guan Qi with President
Trump
because Trump of course knows
how to
develop resorts he knows how to
build
hotels and he correctly said
look
whatever happened in the CIA
didn't
occur under my auspices but
nevertheless
I have a very good relationship
with Kim
Jong on I believe that and I
believe
that Kim Jong on will in fact
make a
deal with Trump my suspicion is
it'll be
around October of 2019 I could
be wrong
but I hope I'm right oh is that
like an
October Surprise I don't know
yeah of
course it is right right before
the
October you want you want 2020
October
right right I'm sorry I think
it's also
premature I don't think I think
it's not
far enough along for that to
happen this
year but okay now for those of
you who
are relatively new to the
program my
uncle Don Gregg
Ede GRE GG who's listed in
wikipedia if
you want his background the
essays and
he's on the wiki's as
high-ranking CIA
seized up in his late 80s now I
don't
think he's actually stopped all
work but
he was ambassador to South
Korea after
the around Contra affair where
I believe
he didn't protect his boss
properly so
off he was to South Korea but
he had
been to North Korea many many
times and
we were talking about what was
happening
at the time when you came up
with the a
tourist destination and he
confirmed
that confirmed he's absolutely
the all
they want is peace and a true
end of the
war we only have an armistice
there the
war was never officially ended
and they
would love nothing more than to
be a
tourist destination in fact it
was after
he tried to talk to the Obama
administration and they pretty
much just
threw him right out and we're
not
interested in listening to you
that that
he said to me that I'm sorry
yeah it was
Greg that would they didn't
will listen
to uncle Don yeah he said Adam
Dennis
Rodman understands North Korea
better
than anybody in the entire
administration and I think this
turns
out to be true that's true
it seems true now the one thing
they're
doing though is that you can
tell that
they're trying to line up they
have some
mountainous areas that where I
guess
they can Christine yeah skiing
and
they've got the hotels up there
and
everything ready to go though
they
haven't really have any
experience with
massive with lots of people
especially
with like grouchy German
tourists let's
say not an Americans the two
worst
tourists by most standards
although the
Chinese are getting up there
and the
beaches all the rest but the
one thing
that is never discusses that
giant
pageant they have every year
North Korea
large the soccer stadium in the
world I
think it holds on in two if you
look at
large stadiums though the
biggest one is
is the North Korean one and I
think it
holds 120 or 140 thousand
people's huge
and they pack a man for this
pageant
that they
have every year that is the most
spectacular thing is you can
see videos
of it Madeleine Albright's saw
it she's
got the witnesses well there's
tons of
reporters who go and a lot of
reporters
go but the thing about this
thing is it
holds so many people they could
do one
for tourists and I'm telling
you people
would pay $1000 a seat yeah you
could do
it just like the Main Street
Electrical
Parade at Disneyland you could
do it two
times a 2 times a week easy
well I never
thought about doing it more
than once
yeah and hey and have great
yeah and
listen weakly and have grand
marshals
yeah you know like Oh Jerry
nobody would
build up to that because people
are
still skeptical about going to
North
Korea but I'd go in at the drop
of a hat
and well there Lee is this
spectacular
display of coordination and
it's just
add astonishing thing just
there is yet
again noises coming from Agent
Orange
are our Dutch military
intelligence guy
that the nah portunity may open
up for
the show to go to North Korea
but I
don't think we should not go
together
that's probably not a good idea
no it's
gonna be hard to broadcast from
there
well yeah because it would be
part of
some military thing he says
that he
feels that that may be possible
but yeah
now if it's hard to broadcast
live that
maybe it does make sense for us
to go
together that would be the
first and
only time we ever do is show
near each
other
yeah I don't want to break
tradition
okay screw North Korea ruin the
show we
get to North Korea one way or
the other
what I told this BMI live Joe
so I said
this once to him yeah yeah love
to go to
know its core what why would
you go to
they see that murderous coup
North Korea
why would you do this these are
liberals
and these are guys who reduced
to write
four New York Times and they've
been
teach professionals liberal
professors
liberal
yeah that's that yeah so I've
been
watching the action on the
tanker attack
yeah I got a couple clips on
this well
that's I have a I have a couple
of clips
too and I then I have a clip
that
actually makes sense okay
most of the clips are just you
know
hysterical not interesting why
yeah I
know they have a BBC background
or since
I'm over here I thought it
might be
interesting to get a BBC then
I'll play
mine that I have there the
kicker clip
is is the from arty which has a
different so once again we have
to go
outside of the United States
broadcast
and to get anything of any use
here's
the BBC well the Iranians are
saying it
wasn't us but the Americans are
saying
yes it was they're blaming Iran
for a
suspected attack on two oil
tankers in
the Gulf of Oman one is
reported to have
been hit by a torpedo
we know that crew had to be
rescued from
both and we have this video
that's been
released by the Iranian Navy
which shows
the Norwegian ship the front
altaïr it's carrying 75,000
tons of a
particular type of crude oil
and we know
the crew reported three
explosions and
here's the Iranian Foreign
Minister
saying reported attacks on
Japan related
tankers occurred when Prime
Minister
Shinzo Abe a was meeting the
Ayatollah
Khomeini for extensive talks he
says
suspicious doesn't begin to
describe
what likely transpired this
morning now
to explain one of the ships
certainly is Japanese owned the
other
though is owned by Norway so
I'm not
sure wiser suggesting both are
related
Japan to Japan the way
Iran has many suspicions pisode
of the
Americans here's Mike Pompeo it
is the
assessment of the United States
government that the Islamic
Republic of
Iran is responsible for the
attacks that
occurred in the Gulf of Oman
today this
assessment is based on
intelligence the
weapons used the level of
expertise
needed to execute the operation
and a
whole bunch of new old older
bhushan
recent similar Iranian attacks
on
shipping and the fact that no
proxy
group operating in the area has
the
resources and proficiency to
act with
such a high degree of
sophistication
help us understand what the
Iranians are
saying think happened here
well other than what you you
read which
is we were set up the idea that
the
supreme leader was meaning
would the
Prime Minister of Japan as this
happened
given that one of the ships was
Japan
own it is creating that sort of
doubt
even inside Iran and especially
from the
point of view of the government
that
this was a in operation to
embarrass
them or or make that trip
unsuccessful
however in that very meeting
the Supreme
Leader of Iran said that he's
not going
to respond to any message that
President
of the United States had sent
through
the Japanese Prime Minister
because it
was America and it this
administration
in Washington that has violated
the
nuclear deal has brought back
sanctions
he even pointed out that right
before
Prime Minister of Japan's trip
to Iran
US took another step in
sanctioning
Iran's petrochemical industry
which is
huge part of Iran's it was
clear from
the Iranian point of view that
there is
nothing to talk about to this
administration as long as they
were in
violation of the deal of UN
Security
Council to 231 yet to have this
incident
happen on the very same day it
does give
them some leeway to at least
argue that
this seems something far
fetched from
something they would do because
there's
nothing to be gained from it
yeah that's
kind of a long winded
similarity to the
RT report which is a little
tighter the
British like to talk yeah
there's a lot
different than what we get here
this is
the CBS report on it related
oil tankers
okay sorry about that here we
go Saudi
Arabia and the United Arab
Emirates are
calling for decisive action to
protect
energy supplies after two oil
tankers
were attacked this week
President Trump
says Iran is to blame Charlie
d'Agata is
in the UAE tonight
with the latest the tanker
front all
tear in flames in a drift is now
reportedly under towed to the
United
Arab Emirates is everything
okay it's
twenty three crew members
rescued by the
Iranian military and detained
are soon
headed home to Iran insists it
had
nothing to do with Thursday's
back-to-back attacks on the
Altair and
Japanese tanker kakuka
courageous
despite repeated accusations
from the
Trump administration because
you saw the
boat I guess one of the minds
didn't
explode and it's probably got
essentially Iran written all
over it
images from US military affairs
the
president hi when he's saying
this stuff
what is wrong with him didn't
explode
essentially overages from US
military
officials show a tanker with a
hole
blown in its side and what
military
officials say is an unexploded
mine
still attached to the hull
later the US
military released this grainy
video
footage showing what appeared
to be
Iranian forces removing the
mine and
making off with it oh I love
the grainy
footage we can see a matchstick
from
space but grainy footage
Germany's
foreign minister cast doubt on
the
evidence and even the UAE who
stopped
short of directly naming Iran
this has
only been possible by a
state-sponsored
attacks now investigators here
will be
able to take a closer look at
one of the
crime scenes as the kakuka
courageous
arrives here just offshore in
the coming
hours and its contents safely
transferred to another ship I
would like
to remind us of United States
Presidents
and these types of operations
certainly
when the neocons were free
flourishing
under the obama administration
in 2012
this is Patrick Clausen of the
Washington Institute for Near
East
Studies which is a neocon a
whole blow
the world up think-tank listen
to what
this guy was saying I frankly
think that
crisis initiation is really
tough and
it's very hard for me to see
how the
United States president can get
us to
war with Iran which leads me to
conclude
that if in fact compromise is
not coming
that the traditional way of
America gets
to war is what would be best
for US
interests some people might
think that
mr. Roosevelt wanted to get us
into the
World War two is David
mentioned you may
recall we had to wait for Pearl
Harbor
some people might think mr.
Wilson
wanted to get us into World War
one you
may recall he had to wait for
the
Lusitania episode some people
might
think that mr. Johnson wanted
to send
troops to Vietnam you may
recall they
had to wait for the Gulf of
Tonkin
episode we didn't go to war
with Spain
until the USS dental domain
exploded and
may I point out that mr.
Lincoln did not
feel he could call out the
federal army
until Fort Sumter was attacked
which is
why he ordered the commander at
Fort
Sumter to do exactly that thing
which
the South Carolinians had said
would
cause an attack so if in fact
the
Iranians aren't going to
compromise it
would be best if somebody else
started
the war one can combine other
means of
pressure with sanctions
I mentioned that explosion on
August
17th we could step up the
pressure
I mean look people Iranian
submarines
periodically go down someday
one of them
might not come up who would
know why
we can do a variety of things
if we wish
to increase the pressure I'm not
advocating that but I'm just
suggesting
that a it's this this is not a
either-or
proposition you know it's just
sanctions
has to he has to succeed or
other things
we are in the game of using
covert means
against the Iranians we could
get
nastier that so the two things
I thought
interesting about this clip
from 2012 is
one the mention of irani and
submarines
that could go down and not come
up and
notice how he just skipped over
9/11 is
every false flag known to man
even some
that are disputed in the
lexicon there's
no 9/11 things I'm talk about
that is a
skip over that but that's the
thinking
that isn't that's what 25 years
before
the Gulf of tompkins thing even
though I
wouldn't do it was a fake got
into the
news media the news media they
dropped
the ball for 25 years
yeah maybe longer only have a
couple
more than until 9/11 can be
uncovered
for real we all just got a lot
more to
go so that's the here's bless
here what
RT has to say which is again
very
similar to the BBC report with
a little
more conceiving though it's a
discussion
it's a little Brit gets to the
point a
little better about what
happened we
have not only the government
sources but
the media rushing to pin the
tail on the
designated culprit and under
circumstances that seem awfully
convenient don't they I mean
here how
many people have been saying
that the
the rush to war toward Iran
seems to be
abating somewhat we've got we
gotta be
going to Tehran maybe he's got
a message
from Trump maybe there's a
first step to
working things out and bam
something
happens is you know it's awfully
convenient and you say to
yourself
alright is it too convenient so
it's
important to point out by the
way that
Iran was in the midst of
high-level and
friendly meetings with the
Japanese
Prime Minister in and around
the time
the tanker attacks took place
what's I
guess most important here is
that the
tanker was a Japanese vessel
and Iran
officials asked what sense
would it make
for us to attack a Japanese
vessel while
we're meeting in a
confines with Japanese officials
meanwhile one other note and
this is
important the attack has sent
the price
of oil across the globe way way
up and
the trend has continued I have
a clip
that follows this perfectly
from the CIA
broadcast systems CBS our old
buddy Mike
Morell was asked to comment
making
former a deputy director and at
one
point acting director of CIA
how much
risk is there of this becoming a
military conflict Margaret I
don't think
the United States will respond
militarily here because we were
not
attacked directly and I think
that would
be predicates for the President
to
respond militarily but I think
the risk
of conflict is growing and I
think it's
growing dangerously and I think
the way
it could play out is that one
of our
allies the United Arab Emirates
or Saudi
Arabia would respond to this
attack or
another attack like it to deter
the
Iranians and that would
escalate into a
broader conflict that could
draw us in
today Iran's top diplomat
called the
timing of this suspicious
trying to
distance themselves from it so
why would
they go through with an attack
they are
under a tremendous amount of
pressure
because of the sanctions that
we've put
on them their economy is
suffering their
response here is to try to get
the rest
of the world to put pressure on
us to
ease up and they want to do
that by
raising oil prices and creating
an
atmosphere of a risk of war I
think it
ultimately backfires on them
Margaret and they end up more
isolated
hmm this is this guy he's not
the guy
you want to be doing this stuff
with
he's not a good actor no and
and he
doesn't make a lot of sense
what he said
made zero sense it doesn't he
just yaks
in the axe in yaks
he didn't say right what was
that thing
always says right uses it right
right
right right he's off of that
maybe he
fixed that well maybe someone
finally
said bro stop that right all
the time
well do you have an example of
him doing
that probably he is not
this off very well it's the
whole thing
makes no sense I think if you
would have
stuck there the other thing is
you if
you're gonna make these kinds
of dunno
Cohen tell points you want us
to do it
with just finding one good
point and he
the point was was kind of made
for the
RT report and he Morrell made
it but he
didn't make it strongly enough
which
this was obvious that the
Iranians are
trying to David hurting for
money they
make us they make most of their
money
still by selling oil under the
table at
a discounted rate right so
let's jack up
the price of oil by sending a
few
missiles at these tankers it'll
jack up
the price of oil we get what we
will get
out of debt it's just it's just
a money
grab if you just go with that I
think
you solve did you the oh yeah
that makes
sense
uh-huh and then you kind of
just you
know just move the garment
around a
little bit to help but how long
did the
price actually spike and it
come down
again isn't it isn't it I think
it's not
it's not spy a never spiked it
started
moving up I mean it's different
than
moving up in a spike right well
the
thing is I mean no matter what
if you're
on the inside of these types of
operations it's a moneymaker oh
yeah for
sure I mean if we had known hey
ain't
gonna make a big deal about some
Japanese ship by a couple calls
and oil
or whatever the instrument is
there's
all kinds of ways of doing it
let's see
what the place up all kinds of
ways that
we never do it is what you're
trying to
tell me last was 5251 it but
let's no I
thought I thought it went up to
a sixty
plus I think that was Brent OH
two guys in oil and the cheese
your one
is cheaper but what's the
cheetah crew
that crude oil
what is it cheesy it's because
you got a
salt a lot of sulphur in and
has to be
treated it was just cheesy oil
was what
most oil is it's not the great
stuff but
you know what no one ever talks
about is
what is to become of Iran once
we go
full fledge your clip play
I said what does it become from
Iran
where you go we go full
carbon-neutral
well they they themselves
believe that
the oil is a short-term thing
because
there they want to be and they
claim
this I don't believe I do
believe I do
believe that they are building
bombs or
they want to build bombs but
they want
to build nuclear power plants
yeah
and it sort of Saudi Arabia
actually and
then something like I said
what's one of
the countries I think it's one
of the
sand bearing countries there
they put up
these giant solar arrays that
are
massive and they're just
covering a
bunch of truly lifeless desert
anyway so
uh Dion the other news front
well there was shed needed to
catch up
on yeah
his Assange ah yes I guess the
extra
extradition order was was
signed I'm not
absolutely sure was signed but
I do have
some interesting clips on again
from RT
sorry I would the first one is
they got
two of them so you want you
don't want
to thought you went Julian
Assange or
the Rick Sanchez and a rundown
with a
kicker Julian Assange appeared
in court
today for what may very well be
one of
the most important legal
decisions of
our time on trial is the notion
that a
country in this case our
country can
reach out anywhere in the world
and
arrest someone for writing
something
saying something or publishing
something
it does not want decimated
now he said he's supposed to say
disseminated he said decimated
and he
stupidly said decimate kind of
fits in
an odd way it does fit in an
odd way but
is a blood complexion a kick
out of
hearing because he never
corrected
himself longer so he's
obviously just
reading like a robot if you're
not
listening to yourself anyway it
goes on
he brings in Chris Hedges they
kind of
lefty Pulitzer Prize winning
journalist
who's really a good journalist
and but
he's you know very compromised
by by his
left-wing leanings thoughts on
killing
kill thoughts on Julian Assange
on RT
with hedges Sanchez clip you
know I've
been following part of the
arguments
from the United States and
they're
saying something about that it
has
nothing to do with him being
someone who
disseminates or publishes
information
and that it has more to do with
the fact
that it was espionage and that
he
cracked some kind of code I
could you
can can you put some clarity
behind what
the United States is saying
about this
code that he apparently cracked
and what
Assange his side is saying
about this
right well that goes back to
the issue I
just spoke about it was an
attempt to
essentially bypass the security
the
password and security so that
Chelsea
Manning could cover her tracks
so it
wasn't zero that it was Chelsea
many
breaking in and and downloading
these
documents the the charges under
the
Espionage Act are just frankly
legally
bizarre Julian Assange is not an
American citizen he's an
Australian
citizen and at one point before
Lennon
marina revoked his citizenship
he was an
Ecuadorian citizen WikiLeaks is
not a
us-based publication and so the
legal
precedent that this sets is
number one
that anyone who publishes
classified
material it can be subject to
the
Espionage Act as recent
editorials in
The New York Times the Los
Angeles Times
and The Washington Post
correctly
pointed out but secondly the
any journalist anywhere in the
world
that in the eyes of the United
States
violates security can be seized
and
carted back to the United
States for
trial
well yeah that's why China
decided to do
the same thing like tit for tat
everybody the correlation I
wanted to
make yeah
China and there s you know their
extradition laws in Hong Kong
which have
some clips of coz that seems to
be
falling apart is doing the same
thing
they're just copying our lead
and
there's nothing wrong with it
we're number one baby so Chris
Hedges on
espionage II continues by
discussing the
chilling effect of the
Espionage Act and
this presents problems and I
think you
know the fact that I have to go
to RT to
get this opinion and even
though we can
do these opinions herself it's
kind of
pathetic that the American
media doesn't
do something about or make a
bigger
stink about this Chris Hedges on
espionage Espionage Act
problems right
and I have to say this began
under the
Obama administration with the
misuse of
the Espionage Act a 1917 Act
passed by
Woodrow Wilson which was the
equivalent
of the British foreign Secrets
Act ie it
is about giving classified or
top-secret
information to a hostile power
that's
what it was designed for it
wasn't
designed to shut down
whistleblowers
Obama had been used three times
including unsuccessfully
against Daniel
Ellsberg Obama used it nine
times
against uh for instance Edward
Snowden
and others John Kiriakou and
and that
had a huge chilling effect
because all
of those people with a
conscience within
the systems of power that
traditionally
had had the courage to reach
out to
journalists and expose abuses
of power
no longer did so because number
one of
course they're they know they're
monitored we now know from
Snowden
they're completely monitored
but also
because they knew how they
would be
charged and this is really
compounding
that problem it will now if
Julian is
extradited to the United States
if he is
charged on
the espionage act although as I
mentioned he's not a US citizen
this is
going to send a very ominous
message to
publications like the New York
Times and
others that you better not try
this I
really fear that it could drop
a kind of
Iron Curtain between the public
and the
inner workings of power I think
it bears
as worth repeating what botanic
said
about this since he is my
official
Handler and we did this and
what two
weeks ago just to refresh your
memory on
November 1st of 2016 we had
never heard
of botanic but I played this
clip so we
initiated a counter-coup
through Julian
massage who's been very brave
and again
really quite formidable in his
and his
ability to come forth and
provide all
the necessary emails that we
gave to him
in order to undermine Hillary
and Bill
Clinton again America we're
going
through a major major
transition and
quite frankly a second American
Revolution and when I asked him
what are
we doing he's very brave we we
the big
we gave him the emails to
eliminate
Hillary and Bill Clinton what
are we
going to do when we extradite
him and
the answer that came back was
the
extradition is under we'll go
he will go
to a military court where he
will be
sent home and set free under
quote
special circumstances which the
military
does not have to disclose and
I'm gonna
take his word for it
yeah there's that happening is
not going
to change the fact that this
still will
have a chilling effect on the
media the
agree agreed agreed
bringing the guy back and
making it you
know making a fuss about him
and then
saying this is gonna happen to
you too
if you do anything like this it
still
has its it still works and the
fact that
Obama did this night use the
this
that's been I'll Jack nine
times this
act is completely the
dead-letter law it
shouldn't even be on the books
including
the one he mentioned the one
guy the
Kuryakin never pronounce his
name the
guy was an innocent Eric you
Kira cue
Kira Kira Kira curious went to
jail the
guy went to jail yeah five of
whistleblowers from the NSD out
of the
NSA kept seeing wrongdoing and
nobody
would listen of course they
have to
always there's mechanisms you
can go and
you can tell your boss and then
he'll
report it and then the bad the
bad
people will be you know scolded
yeah it
doesn't work so we went you
know blew it
out and took it to the media
anyway so
it's a problem well not a
problem for us
no we just no not really
we're just a podcast we're not
doing we
do analysis we don't do we
don't find
documents and then expose them
well we
get lots of information from
people
that's for sure and we need
more of that
but never real I've never
received any
documents so to speak of
anything good
anything worthwhile good or no
for sure
so just back to Iran for a
second when I
hear the president talk like
that it's
that's gotta be just total crap
he knows
this is bullshit he knows it
you sure
yeah
yeah I think so still got
Bolton working
in there which is the
disappointing part
because that guy's
trigger-happy and
dangerous with pompe I put
Pompeo there
too oh yeah most of them but as
a
negotiation because he does
talk but oh
yeah no I didn't negotiate with
him
we'll talk anytime they want to
talk
that seems to be kind of the
way he does
it
but what really happened if
this was a
if they try to do a gulf of
tonkin or
elicit a Nia or any of these
which is
the interestingly a lot of these
quote-unquote false flags
involved ships
what the hell kind of lame op
was this
and these ships didn't sink and
then
explode and a ball of fire yeah
they've
been tugged back to wherever
know that
they didn't sink who it's
something we
have to think about a torpedo
Sears a
torpedo and it torpedo strike
that
torpedo everyone's pulled back
on the
tour top okay now they're like
little
you know little missiles or
something
coming and hitting the sides of
the boat
hmm the torpedo theory was
debunked I
think because somebody was on
the deck
and saw that missiles coming in
missiles
yeah yeah yeah that where the
if you
look at the ship they had the
tube dents
in the side yeah those are for
missiles
somebody shot something low
grade
missile it bounced along the
water just
above the waterline and hit the
boat
he's more like a like a starter
pistol a
missile remember those missiles
the
French had these missiles that
were used
to sing some boats during the
Falkland
Islands Wars and I don't recall
yeah I
can't remember the name said
some in the
chat rooms will remember the
name of
these anti-ship missiles I
think I think
I think the the exact quote was
quote
flying objects well not quite
the same
as a missile yeah it is yeah it
can be
throw a rocket somebody it's a
missile
it's also a flying okay alright
alright
then good I got you
I got you you get my point
though sings
Lena but what kind of flying
out you
would be a couple seagulls with
bombs
attached I mean I just don't
understand
if ur n't perspective and I'll
give you
a reason to fire Bolton and
Pompeyo this
fail outright to fail Venezuela
if it
was designed to do nothing more
than
raise the price of oil it
didn't okay
that was that was what we what
we came
up with on the last show but
but you
know the president's oh yes is
whether
this was an attack these guys
are
failing left and right
Venezuela what
happened in Venezuela did that
just end
everything is hunky-dory don't
hear
about it anymore
did we take over are we running
the
place is a quad you're saying I
see what
you're where you're headed
you're headed
with the whole thing so
incompetent
completely fire end up far these
boneheads don't sink a ship I'm
gonna
show my food by donation to no
agenda
imagine all the people who
could do is
awesome oh yeah
well we do have a few people to
thank
for show 1147 and we do have
with some
call-outs for some dads it's
nice right
off the top here which is Sir
John the
brewer came in 194 dollars and
70 cents
for same base st. Louis
Mississippi and
he his father Jack was born in
1947 he
doesn't listen to the show but
well
wishes anyway need to update my
night
monikers I'm no longer brewing
Sir John the brewer is now sir
rocket
man Baron of the bay oh let me
just make
sure he's yes he's on the tire
change
list yeah yeah he's no longer
brewing no
he's Rocket Man heck well it
could be
good for us maybe we used to
get beer
from now I'm gonna get rocket I
don't
know we'll get some rocket info
for sure
you know maybe I know what
you're gonna
dress I read these you look
over and see
there's any dad's who call out
I think
there isn't a couple of
instances where
Hugh since we since it's a
pretty short
list I do want to read a few of
these
Peter white who is the the jubu
now we
met the jubu at at the London
Meetup and

PC Magazine hates us never put
us on
their top podcast list now my
advice to
people let me just explain what
we're
talking about because no one
understands
it they have the best podcasts
for 2019
yeah podcasts offer you a great
way to
pass the time
whether you're commuting
working or
relaxing check out our staff 64
favorite
podcasts in 8 categories and
we're not
listed anywhere no of course not
now I would if you notice the
the author
of that article leaves his
email address
there and all the emailing
wants is for
everybody at PC makes is the
same as
first name underlying last name
been
more PC Mag been more yes been
more Bend
Bend more something as a kid
looks like
he's a young millennial
probably never
heard of us ever and yeah just
write him
a note saying hey you know you
should
maybe write him maybe a couple
notes
well they actually say it
actually says
right here in the in the
article that
says our collection is just a
small
sampling of podcast though
there's
certainly many more quality
ones out
there if your favorite is not
on the
list let us know in the
comments yeah
well you should do that too and
I'm
guarantee there Dave will know
that
covenant there's one comment
there's one
comment from Kevlar a dish edit
or
Kevlar edit or the No Agenda
show should
be on this list there you go
that's the
no agenda nation thank you guys
yeah we
get no respect
well yeah well this mostly is
you know
the problem is that these these
podcast
bullcrap podcasts the ones that
are
largely repurposed NPR shows is
not a
podcast yeah Michael Savage is
actually
doing a podcast
he's been kind of kicked off
the air for
some reason it started with
WABC in New
York off by Ben Ben Shapiro
Schapiro yes
taken over a soupy Rose neocon
pretty
much a trump hating neocon who
just puts
up with Trump so he doesn't get
hate
mail doesn't if you remember
he's set up
with the Lewinsky they got
Lewinsky
fired where that girl was
manhandled by
mousie or whatever is the
lewandowski's
his name and then you watch the
video
and you can see nothing came of
it was
bullcrap and then you know she
tweeted a
picture of her wrist was blue
most yeah and then yeah you
make up I'll
do that by the way good make up
you know
how you do these make up you
can make
anything look bruised so you so
she's
got a picture and so here got
all bent
out of shape and say and you cuz
Breitbart knew this was a scam
or
bullcrap and so he got bent out
of shape
and said oh my god I'm quitting
I'm quitting Breitbart I'm
gonna go
we're gonna start our own
magazine it
was obviously in the works the
Daily
Caller died yes yes he went
over there
and that's where he created his
podcast
which became a radio show and
I'm not
gonna say he's not a decent
broadcaster
I mean he's he's not the best
I've ever
heard but he's professional
enough that
he can do it
mm-hmm and but he's still a
truck you
know and he was a Trump hater
all along
and now he relents he relents
because he
was just what's his choice he's
got no
other choice he's got to fall
in line
with one of these Democrats are
no good
so uh but he's a neocon of
sorts and I
don't trust him you know the
keeper used
to listen to him a lot and she
actually
kind of got turned off by his
transitions to ads it's so
jarring it's
so jarring blacks yeah not
moving he
can't even say I mean his
segways are so
termed dorky and then it's
before you
know like what is this it's
just yelling
at you wouldn't had apparently
I think
she stopped listening because
of that
because of the odd the yeah
just jarring
she said jarring it is jarring
he's not
good at that is this a that's a
certain
skill that he doesn't have but
but he
clearly has an audience of hot
chicks
some women consider him to be a
handsome
fast talker there you go quick
on the
draw he's definitely a guy you
wouldn't
want to get into an argument
with
because he is a quick-witted
very quick
see oh yes I've been holding on
this for
a bit here and let's see we
have some
green New Deal stuff Oh what
did I oh
yeah California it's very
interesting
uber alles yeah you know
California is
now trying to and there's
reasons for
this is trying to cement into
the psyche
that hydropower ie
water is not renewable energy
they don't
yeah they don't want it to
count as
renewable energy where I think
it's just
like Sun and wind isn't it kind
of the
definition of renewable energy
yeah did
you put a dam up it fills up it
water
goes through the dam and it's
great
electricity it rains fills the
dam up
goes through this yeah it's very
renewable so the how is it less
renewable than sunshine well
here here's
where here's what becomes
important I'm
sorry important important it
becomes
important where they have
targets to hit
yeah by 2030 60 percent of all
electricity in California a
needs to
come from renewable sources so
does this
mean that they're trying to get
more
money into wind and solar and
say oh I
don't know that doesn't count
you can't
say that that's part of our 60%
more
money into wind and solar
where's I think hydropower is
without
question very effective well
they've
been taking some dams out now
brother
and they did that in Washington
State -
they screwed up some area that
why why
are they taking the dams out
the fish
well here's the doofus of the
week clip
from that Trudeau York and an
avian p.m.
hey this is virtue signaling
gone wrong
where he is asked about what
he's really
doing to conserve and to to be
a part of
him not ruining the environment
you and
your family do to cut back on
plastics
we we have recently switched to
drinking
water bottles out of water out
of when
we have water bottles out of a
plastic
I'm sorry away from plastic
towards
paper like drink box water
bottles sort
of things there's there's a
number drink
box water bottles type of
things you
want to hear that one again you
and your
family do to cut back on
plastics we we
have recently switched to
drinking water
bottles out of water out of
when we have
water bottles out of a plastic
I'm sorry
away from plastic towards paper
like
drink box water bottles sort of
things
there's bottle thing kind of
for you
please say we don't use plastic
we're
we're we're good we're good the
environment that's virtue
signaling gone
wrong listen to me well as epic
fail
yes druid read you what name
would show
me a picture one of these drink
box
water things so the FCC is is
working on
some tactics here regarding 5g
which is
probably worth looking at now
we know
that as 5g rolls out there's a
whole
bunch of issues with where
we're going
to place where we where the the
microwave transmitters are
going to be
placed and already we have you
know the
municipalities are in one's
passing laws
they want to make sure that you
know
there's not too much money can
be spent
and the networks are looking
for ways
easy ways to pay people with
properties
to put up antennas basically
and there's
a there's an acronym for it
it's hard
which I'd like a lot o tarde
everybody
it turns out the
Federal Communications
Commission the
FCC has an old rule called the
Oh tarde
rule which stands for
over-the-air
reception device the rule was
adopted as
part of the 1996
Telecommunications Act
and it prohibits any local
authority or
private landlord from
restricting the
right of home owners or tenants
to
install a satellite dish or
other
antenna to receive video
signals back in
2002 in response to the fast
growing
Internet the FCC changed the
wording of
this rule to include
transmitting
antennas as well as receiving
antennas
but even then the antenna had
to be
primarily for use by the tenant
or
homeowner the Oh tard rule has
never
ever applied to transmitting
antennas
intended to send signals to
other people
in the neighborhood until now
the FCC
has quietly proposed a change
in the Oh
Tod rule that would cover what
they call
hubs this would allow any
homeowner to
have a 5g wireless antenna
installed on
his property and according to
the FCC
and power consumers to help
bring
competitive wireless broadband
to their
communities by hosting hub
sites oh yeah
since the antennas will be on
private
property
there will be no hearing no
notice no
opportunity to object you might
not even
know about it unless of course
you had a
meter to measure the radiation
so this
is concerning that your
neighbor can now
put one at will when the rule
changes
your neighbor could put up a
hub and be
bland the rule sorry stop the
rule yeah
but they're all for the rule
there's a
dumb rule this is now I'm very
earthed
about this by the way if I
thoughtyou
I'm glad you are so do you so I
have one
of these 5g repeaters in my
roof yeah
the beam down on my neighbor's
that's a
yes stir-fry aap yes yeah yeah
you'll
get paid so much I don't know
yet but
I'm sure handsomely I know you
get paid
handsomely if you have a giant
cell
tower with a whole bunch of
antennas and
radios on the you've seen this
there's a
book story if you want that
most famous
bookstores in Detroit that is
an old
used bookstore that's like six
seven
stories high of all the maybe
taller of
just a fantastic collection of
old books
mm-hmm as everyone in Detroit
knows this
place is very famous and I've
always
wondered how that you ever make
a living
it cuz all the good old
bookstores like
homes in Oakland for example
have been
shut down because it really
didn't
nobody buy his most nobody
gives a shit
but then I saw in the roof they
have a
huge antenna array they're
making all
their money uh you know by
selling their
roof to uh the cellphone guys
and they
make a lot of money I think he
get paid
a fortune for having one of
these towers
like ten grand a month oh
really oh
that's pretty damn good
why and there was a number
floating
around I can't remember it but
if you're
gonna put this thing in your
house and
you're gonna be sitting there
as a as a
stool pigeon stupid transmitter
you
better get paid a grand or two
yeah then
what they can't afford it but
regardless
you'll be called an O tard I
just like
the name I just like we got all
kinds of
tards and I'm happy that we you
know if
you're all it this is just a
new no
agenda rule if you're all in on
5g
you're a note art I've advised
people I
have one of these getting some
of these
signal processing little device
handheld
devices used to have two of
them you
should have one that does
radiofrequency
and it can sense all these
frequencies
around so you can see if you
gotta you
would still want a spectrum
analyzer
what do you have yes exactly
which we
and that much more is a little
handy I
want to know what you have so
we can we
can offer these I have to go
kind of
lost it in the house but don't
worry
it's under some recipes
somewhere it's
around the other one I was
looking at
this because I was watching
some guy
floating around in one of his
youtube
videos for this little guy gir
counter
and he's had the brand he
showed the guy
you're kind of and I looked up
the
brands this Geiger counter
custard
thousand dollars low expensive
I start
looking into Amazon for geiger
counters
and there's some pretty cheap
Geiger
counters you can get that are
apparently
are quite good but what does it
respond
to it responds to plutonium or
uranium
or
any radiation I have one of
those old
those old-school World War two
yellow
ones yeah those are great does
it have
the probe or not have a little
probe it
does it does have a probe oh
well that
probably still works cuz it's a
Geiger
tube which is what the probe is
but you
can buy these little big agar
tubes and
you can put one on your phone
and it
works with like I think Apple
has some
software so you can put the
Geiger tube
on your phone your Apple phone
and then
you can turn it on and run a
software
Cotard detectors but this would
be for
oh tarts that's the other thing
you need
the RF frequency analyzer for
that okay
but does the devices everyone
should
have a couple of these two
should have
two of these devices have an RF
frequency analyzer and you
should have a
handheld Geiger counter and you
should
just you don't know everybody
needs one
listen up people you need one
of these
frequency analyzer spectrum
analyzer and
a Geiger counter counter how
can you
live without it we should be
selling
iodine well let's take a look
here's a
couple of dumb stories oh no
let's go
back to politics so this is a
classic
and this is two people
presenting the
story this is this is just
killing me
Kelly and Conway and the Hatch
Act they
got two clips let's start with
the PBS
version the White House today
dismissed
a call to fire presidential
aide Kelly
and Conway the US Office of
Special
Counsel unrelated to Special
Counsel
Robert Muller's office said
that Conway
repeatedly violated the Hatch
Act a law
that limits political activity
by
government employees the
independent
agency cited Conway's criticism
of
Democratic presidential
candidates it
also quoted her as saying if
you're
trying to silence me through
the Hatch
Act it's not going to work the
White
House condemned the finding as
deeply
flawed so the Hatch Act is
designed to
keep people you know the dear
president
from take
and everybody in the white
house and
having him do calls phone calls
to get
money I mean that's pretty much
what the
thing was designed for
Kellyanne goes
out and she says yeah this
guy's an
idiot oh that's that's
political that's
political she says it's not
really
political it's a comment and
it's
probably accurate but let's
hear it
because democracy now takes it
to the
next level and they really
slammer
a federal watchdog recommended
Thursday
Kellyanne Conway be removed
from her
post as White House counselor
for
violating the Hatch Act a law
barring
federal employees from engaging
in
political activity as part of
their
official duties in a report
submitted to
President Trump the Office of
Special
Counsel called Conway a repeat
offender
saying she's repeatedly used TV
appearances in social media to
disparage
Democratic presidential
candidates among
Conway's ethics violations she
twice
violated the Hatch Act by
endorsing
Alabama Republican Senate
candidate Roy
Moore while speaking in her
official
capacity for the White House in
early
2017 Conway used an appearance
on Fox &
Friends to promote the Ivanka
Trump
clothing line sold by the
president's
daughter it's a wonderful line
I own
some of it I fully I'm gonna
just give
it I'm gonna give a free
commercial here
go buy it today everybody
online legal
experts say the Office of
Special
Counsel does not have the
authority to
discipline Conway and President
Trump
can simply ignore the agency's
recommendation if I could Trump
make
some nice clothes go buy it how
is that
political I'm asking you it's
not well
I'm confused about something
else
about this
with this constant it's not
robert
muller it but on one hand it was
democracy now was this is the
special
councils office but in the PBS
it was
well this is PBS the White
House today
dismissed a call to fire
presidential
aide Kelly and Conway the US
Office of
Special Counsel unrelated to
special
counsel robert muller zonka the
US
Office of Special Counsel not
familiar
with the US Office of Special
Counsel
what is that I don't know but
apparently
they're busy bodies with all
the press I
mean it's like this is bullcrap
I mean
it's the worst kind of bullcrap
they
look they're just grasping at
straws
they're doing the same thing
with this
clip here this is unfortunately
I wrote
it Trump as are you because mo
room oh
okay way to go the head of the
Federal
Elections Commission warned
Thursday the
candidates for public office are
prohibited by law from
receiving help
from a foreign government the
warning
was a clear rebuke to President
Trump
after he told ABC's George
Stephanopoulos this week that
he might
accept dirt on political rivals
from
foreign actors in the twenty
twenty
election campaign this time
that if
foreigners if Russia if China
if someone
else offers you information an
opponent
should they accept it or should
they
call the FBI I think maybe you
do both I
think you might want to listen
I don't
there's nothing wrong with
listening if
somebody called from a country
Norway we
have information on your
opponent oh I
think I'd want to hear if you
want that
kind of interference in our
elections
it's not an interference they
have
information I think I'd take it
in a
statement posted online one day
after
Trump's remarks aired on ABC
FEC chair
Ellen Weintraub said let me make
something 100% clear to the
American
public and anyone running for
public
office it is illegal for any
person to
solicit accept or receive
anything of
value from a foreign national in
connection with the u.s.
election this
is not a novel concept she
wrote alright
I really want to know what
Norway knows
because these things don't
don't come
out of just nowhere
the United States Office of
Special
Counsel is a permanent
independent
federal investigative and
prosecutorial
agency whose basic legislative
authority
comes from four federal
statutes the
Civil Service Reform Act The
Whistleblower Protection Act
the Hatch
Act and the uniformed services
employment and reemployment
Rights Act
OSC's primary mission is the
safeguarding of the merit
system in
federal employment by protecting
employees and applicants from
prohibited
personnel practices so they
should have
actually gone to Kellyanne
Conway and
said hey you should not be
doing this
instead they go to the media I
guess is
what I'm seeing well if you if
you
reread what you just read which
is the
prosecutorial aspect of it why
don't
they indict her why don't they
prosecute
her it's if your prosecutorial
which is
what it said that what you read
yes well
this is Wikipedia so who knows
the house
could be wrong but generally
speaking
with this sort of thing they're
not
wrong so if that's the case why
didn't
because everyone disclaims this
well
that he doesn't have to do
anything he
doesn't have to do anything
well why
don't they do it well no
there's there's
some exemptions here the Hatch
Act of
1939 officially an act to
prevent
pernicious political activities
is a
United States federal law whose
main
provision prohibits employees
in the
executive branch of the federal
government except the president
vice
president and certain designated
high-level officials from
engaging in
some forms of political
activity so
let's take a look at who these
high-level officials could be
so what
are the what are the what are
the
exemptions
well they wouldn't have made a
fuss of
Kellyanne was an exemption so
the
exemption has to be the
vice-president
for sure well it's it says
vice-president and certain
designated
high-level officials anyone has
anyone
been prosecuted under this
bullcrap
operate just a drinking club
there's a
bunch of these little government
agencies that do nothing more
than we
haven't done a report in five
years what
are we gonna do
so these employees who fall
under the
Hatch Act may not use official
authority
or influence to interfere with
an
election geez that's pretty
broad that
has to do with Ivanka Trump's
dresses
solicit or discourage political
activity
of anyone with business before
their
agency solicit or receive
political
contributions oh there it is
because she
received some clothing be
candidates for
public office in partisan
elections
engage in political activities
while on
duty and government office
wearing an
official uniform using a
government
vehicle it is bullcrap it's it's
misogynist is what it is well
in this
case yes I agree completely
misogynist
so unfortunately Sarah Sanders
is
quitting I do have a clip to
announce
that separate President Trump
announced
that White House press
secretary Sarah
Huckabee Sanders is leaving at
the end
of the month at a White House
event
he called her a warrior Sanders
said
she's going home to Arkansas to
spend
more time with her family this
has been
the honor of a lifetime the
opportunity
of a lifetime I couldn't be
prouder to
have had the opportunity to
serve my
country and particularly to
work for
this president in the meantime
I'm going
to continue to be one of the
most
outspoken and loyal supporters
of the
President and his agenda
Sanders worked on the Trump
campaign
joined the White House staff
and took
over as press secretary in mid
2017 her
tenure was marked by the end of
regular
media briefings and questions
about her
credibility on the Virtual virtu
signaling Twitter
it was quite discouraging to see
fellow-countryman post such
stuff as
I hope she never works again
that lying
bitch these people leave it's
really got
a wonder how many people that
are sure I
have one here about the
president you
and I had we know we disagree
about that
we have a whole day I had to go
on this
before we go one of the things
you have
as presidents the access to all
the
information right in the world
all the
mysteries out there and I was
just
struck in the last couple weeks
for
reading more and more reports
of Navy
pilots seeing lots and lots of
UFOs on
that what do you think I have I
think
it's probably yeah I want them
to think
whatever they think they do I
mean I've
seen I've seen and I've read
and I've
heard and I did have one very
brief
meeting on it but people are
saying
they're seeing UFOs do I
believe it not
particularly do you think you
know if
there were evidence of
extraterrestrial
well I think my great our great
pilots
would know and some of them
really see
things that are a little bit
different
than in the past so we're going
to see
but we'll watch it you'll be
the first
to know
yes me the first to know so
that's a lie
why yes we go down as a lie
yeah if he
really knows everything the
question I
would have asked was so did you
ever see
the birth certificate that's the
question I'd want to know these
guys
aren't asking anything let we'd
ask this
this is probably good reason
for it
yeah that's why we're here I
hate doing
a podcast I'll give you one
more than we
got to go
it's time well actually I need
to put
2001 under story do it once
short 20
seconds just to get it out of
the way
this is the heatwave in India
so we know
this is not being reported
meanwhile
Indian officials are blaming an
intense
heatwave and drought for at
least 36
deaths in some regions south of
Mumbai
India whole villages have been
evacuated
with an estimated 90% of
residents
fleeing their homes in recent
weeks due
to searing droughts and crop
failures on
Monday India's capital Delhi
recorded an
all-time high temperature of 48
degrees
Celsius nearly 120 degrees
Fahrenheit
well that was the whole report
but yeah
that can't be the whole report
but
because she didn't go on and on
about
global warming yeah the climate
crisis
yeah I know the next segment
she brought
it up okay but it wasn't about
this I
don't know why she didn't bring
it up it
is you actually baffling yes
and a lot
it's totally bad I agree and
the last
clip is just to catch us up so
we can
keep up with this is the only
there's a
lot of clips I could play but
this we do
have to keep up with the China
versus
Hong Kong this is the updates
of 149 is
long clip okay after a week of
protests
a concession from the head of
Hong
Kong's government she announced
the
indefinite suspension of a
controversial
bill that would allow
extradition to
mainland China my relevant
colleagues
and I have made our best
efforts but I
have to admit that our
explanation and
communication work has not been
sufficient or effective
the council will hot its work in
relation to the bill until are
working
communication explanation and
listening
to opinions is completed the
move comes
amid intense pressure from the
streets
more than a million
demonstrators last
weekend according to organizers
followed
by another mass march on
Wednesday that
protest was marked by clashes
with the
police who fired off rubber
bullets as
well as teargas opponents of
the bill
aren't satisfied with the
government's
announcements they're
maintaining a call
to protest on Sunday if this
bill passes
it's definitely unfair to Hong
Kong if
you don't want postponement or
more
deliberation it must be a
withdrawal we
will definitely come out and
attend our
ground Sunday and tell them we
won't
retreat without withdrawal of
the bill a
pro team aquas e lawmaker also
expressed
disappointment criticising Hong
Kong
chief executive Kerry lamb
critics of
the proposed law say it
encroaches on
Hong Kong's autonomy China for
its part
he says it supports the
decision to
suspend the bill one of our
producers
who is Chinese Canadian
American sent me
a note kind of a scathing note
he says
I'd like to get and I called
him on I
said you cannot bitch at us if
you'd if
your boots on the ground or
your Chinese
and you you a reading stuff and
you know
what's happening you need to
tell us and
not come on bitch that we're
just that
we suck because we didn't get
it right
apparently this law stems from
a case of
failed extradition which set a
murderer
free this guy chopped up his
girlfriend
his pregnant girlfriend cut her
up into
pieces and then stuffed her
into his
briefcase
he escaped back to Hong Kong
and so the
Taiwanese failed to extradite
him back
to Taiwan for trial and so
somehow this
then led to this extradition
order so
they could pull people back from
anywhere but the genesis was a
brutal
murderer and I think that we us
u.s.
probably took advantage of the
situation
and and helped stoke these these
protests to make China look
stupid of
course it's what we do yeah and
and we
did
Taiwan yeah well then what's it
got to
do with the mainland yeah well
because
they want to be able to
extradite from
from anywhere we know anywhere
in the
world if it was Taiwan they
just shipped
a guy that took back to Taiwan
hey I'm
just reading the news or
producers give
us I don't have the answers but
I'm
pretty sure we were all all up
in arms
and happy to stoke some of these
protests and get everybody crazy
yes it's ongoing has not
stopped yet
we're good at the same way I
feel about
bringing Assange in under some
screwball
pretense exactly and these
million
people it's over a million
people that
are bitching and moaning in
Hong Kong
they can't where they are all
wrong and
this you know the Chinese are
writing
they're misunderstood according
to blam
that's what she says it's a
failure to
communicate this nonsense well
hopefully
more of our producers will
weigh in with
more information which we will
gladly
disseminate to you or decimate
as some
would say on the next episode
which will
be Thursday and I'll be in
Portugal and
John will be somewhere in
northern
Sweden line at Target if you're
listening to us on no agenda
stream comm
we've got Rhino the bearded
coming up

from
a titanic hotel
where conspiracies theories
have been
raging since 1912 in the morning
everybody I'm Adam curry and
from
northern Silicon Valley I'm
John C
Dvorak we return on Thursday
right here
on no agenda remember us at
Dvorak org
slash n a until then adios
mofos and
you're all gonna know what the
cures bad
tensions rising in the Gulf
following
the tanker attack near Iran the
Islamic
Republic of Iran is responsible
for the
attacks that occurred in the
Gulf of
Oman today an attack that came
exactly
as Japanese Prime Minister
Shinzo Abe a
met with Ayatollah Ali Khamenei
the
neurons pretty leader if you
actually
look at domestic shell produced
your
stocks yesterday they all went
up the US
shale boom is insulating the US
economy
and the financial markets from
events
like this which is really good
news for
the for the US economy this
assessment
is based on intelligence isn't
that
right intelligence
that is affirmative yeah it is
inexcusably inaccurate to
suggest that
anyone lied about it the idea
that we
doctored such intelligence is
completely
and totally false you've talked
about
how you tell to your stomach
when you
found that there were no
weapons of mass
destruction in the next century
the
community of nations may see
more and
more of the very kind of threat
Iraq
poses now a rogue state with
weapons of
mass destruction now I wish
we'd have
found weapons of mass
destruction
I don't mind there were no
weapons of
mass destruction they said
there are
weapons of mass destruction I
was over
the world where Sara things I
would do
differently and I actually you
know have
thought about that time be more
skepticism and Congress in the
autumn
2002 that war it could not have
been
waged at least not at any rate
not on
the basis of whether the mass
destruction the wine about the
tubes
that suggests you know that
when the
tongs publish that story on the
front
page and you know with kind of
a welcome
sign for Dick Cheney and
condi rice to go on the sunday
show the
us blamed Iran and will raise
the issue
in a United Nations Security
Council
meeting these unprovoked
attacks present
a clear threat to international
peace
and security a blatant assault
on the
freedom of navigation and an
unacceptable campaign of
escalating
tension by Iran
I want to make the case for
secrecy in
government when it comes to the
conduct
of national security affairs and
possibly for deception where
that's
appropriate if I had to say
something I
knew this falls to protect
American
national security I would do it
obviously for the war in Iraq
it was a
big fat mistake
all right well Iran didn't do
it and you
know they did it because you
saw the
boat I guess one of the mines
didn't
explode and it's probably got
essentially Iran written all
over it
