No, 12 00:00:35,160 --> 00:00:35,670 actually, 13 00:00:35,670 --> 00:00:39,990 I could, but you were long. Don't know what you said. And 14 00:00:39,990 --> 00:00:41,610 also the music's a little louder than you 15 00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,130 know, I'm sorry. Well, I was just saying that this is the 16 00:00:44,130 --> 00:00:47,250 official non governmental organisation podcast from FEMA 17 00:00:47,250 --> 00:00:48,060 Region six. 18 00:00:48,660 --> 00:00:51,720 We need to be a non governmental organisation and I've no 19 00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:55,140 but I've looked into this. We can be a non governmental 20 00:00:55,140 --> 00:00:59,490 organisation without being like an official 5013 c nonprofit. 21 00:01:00,330 --> 00:01:03,810 This is true. Why not just call us a word. We can just make 22 00:01:03,810 --> 00:01:05,190 something up. This is it and I've 23 00:01:05,189 --> 00:01:09,719 tried it last night. I gave it a shot. Right. We had a couple's 24 00:01:09,719 --> 00:01:10,199 dinner. 25 00:01:12,060 --> 00:01:19,380 A couple's dinner I know. Now, what does this even mean? Ah. 26 00:01:20,580 --> 00:01:23,280 It's hard all dinners kind of a couples dinner. 27 00:01:23,490 --> 00:01:28,050 This is so here's what happened. One of the Mickey has, I think 28 00:01:28,050 --> 00:01:32,910 two years ago, we met this beautiful girl. Probably the 29 00:01:32,910 --> 00:01:36,720 most beautiful black woman I've ever seen. Like Cleopatra Jones 30 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:40,530 beautiful. And Mickey. You know, she they they started doing 31 00:01:40,530 --> 00:01:43,860 stuff. And she just fashion stuff and mica use her for a lot 32 00:01:43,860 --> 00:01:47,580 of her artwork. So just kind of Mickey's Muse and her husband, I 33 00:01:47,580 --> 00:01:50,040 think we've talked about this, her husband is a lobbyist here 34 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:53,340 in Texas, but he's totally no agenda material. 35 00:01:54,630 --> 00:01:56,400 And that's a good thing. Ya know, it's 36 00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:00,510 a very good thing. And so that was good. And she's pregnant. 37 00:02:00,510 --> 00:02:03,420 She I guess she has like three more weeks to go and someone was 38 00:02:03,420 --> 00:02:06,810 going to do a baby shower. And then he went from a baby shower, 39 00:02:06,810 --> 00:02:08,850 and so on. And so anyway, so Mickey says about a week and a 40 00:02:08,850 --> 00:02:12,960 half ago, she's Oh, look, I got shanghaied. And this thing was 41 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,750 supposed to be like a baby shower. But now it's a Saturday 42 00:02:15,750 --> 00:02:18,750 night. I know you're prepping. But it's this couples dinner 43 00:02:18,750 --> 00:02:22,440 thing. Whatever. Please, please, please. Okay, no problem we'll 44 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,680 go to there's five couples is 10 people. 45 00:02:26,340 --> 00:02:29,640 And this is a pretty good sized event. Yeah. And 46 00:02:29,640 --> 00:02:33,420 it's pretty much the worst thing you can do to me, certainly on. 47 00:02:35,010 --> 00:02:38,610 And I knew, actually some good some, a lot of good that came 48 00:02:38,610 --> 00:02:42,600 out because besides the lobbyist, the banker was also 49 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:46,500 there, who and I'll talk about him later because he knows one 50 00:02:46,500 --> 00:02:50,370 of the bankers that committed suicide. So we can bring a 51 00:02:50,370 --> 00:02:57,060 little info in about that. And, but then I had the opportunity 52 00:02:57,060 --> 00:03:01,620 with three new couples to reintroduce myself and come up 53 00:03:01,620 --> 00:03:02,850 with new ways of saying it. 54 00:03:03,390 --> 00:03:06,180 So I tried to new ways to do not annoy people, 55 00:03:07,230 --> 00:03:11,490 new ways to talk about what I do. Okay, I work for a non 56 00:03:11,490 --> 00:03:13,680 governmental organisation. I work for an NGO. 57 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:15,900 Yes, gotta be huge. 58 00:03:16,799 --> 00:03:19,259 It's a winner. Really? Oh, wow. You 59 00:03:19,260 --> 00:03:22,950 know, the funny thing is, technically, technically 60 00:03:22,980 --> 00:03:25,320 our show is a non government is a non 61 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,140 governmental org. And if anything, that is not 62 00:03:28,140 --> 00:03:29,460 government, General Motors, 63 00:03:29,490 --> 00:03:32,280 non government, well, hold on, did they did they pay the money 64 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:37,440 back yet? I think so. Okay, then they're an NGO. So I tried to 65 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,140 two different ways. I tried NGO and non governmental 66 00:03:40,140 --> 00:03:44,520 organisation. And NGO works better hands down because people 67 00:03:44,550 --> 00:03:47,550 they don't even know what it stands for. Oh, okay. Great. 68 00:03:48,930 --> 00:03:50,760 So you just buffalo them? Yeah. 69 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:54,120 So what do you do with the NGO? I'm a legislation analyst. Wow, 70 00:03:54,120 --> 00:04:01,950 this is fantastic. So So I think we just we just need to say to 71 00:04:01,950 --> 00:04:07,770 any na NGO. We are an official NGO. And I'm just going to keep 72 00:04:07,770 --> 00:04:11,130 trying it. See, see how far I can take it. It seems to work. 73 00:04:12,090 --> 00:04:16,710 I work for an NGO. Let me see if I practice on this. And I'm John 74 00:04:16,710 --> 00:04:17,880 John. Hi. Hi. How are you? 75 00:04:17,909 --> 00:04:21,959 Hi, hey, I've seen you around here at the club. What do you 76 00:04:21,959 --> 00:04:22,079 do? 77 00:04:23,610 --> 00:04:27,840 Yeah, I come around once a while I work for an NGO. 78 00:04:27,900 --> 00:04:32,310 Oh, really? Your offer often at swingers paradise. 79 00:04:32,940 --> 00:04:35,910 Yeah. Oh, yeah. Almost NGO people did get an else to do 80 00:04:35,910 --> 00:04:36,690 because we pay. 81 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:44,640 Oh man. Oh, alright. So actually, there were some we met 82 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,940 some some nice people, homeschoolers, and everyone it 83 00:04:47,940 --> 00:04:52,350 was kind of a mixed mixed batch who was nice. But of course, you 84 00:04:52,350 --> 00:04:56,070 know, it's like 930 I'm like, Okay, nice drinking with y'all, 85 00:04:56,070 --> 00:05:00,150 but I gotta go. Why NGO work? Oh, that's a fair She'll 86 00:05:00,150 --> 00:05:01,080 business, he has to go 87 00:05:02,340 --> 00:05:03,540 to showbusiness. 88 00:05:04,230 --> 00:05:08,550 But that was nothing compared to Valentine's Day. Then I'll I 89 00:05:08,550 --> 00:05:12,660 have to say I feel gypped and screwed. And I don't know if you 90 00:05:12,690 --> 00:05:17,100 witnessed any of this, but I got guilted. And this whole was 91 00:05:17,100 --> 00:05:20,520 really bad this year, typically, you know, I can get away with 92 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:25,710 whatever. But somehow because of that we had the show before 93 00:05:25,710 --> 00:05:30,420 Valentine's Day. And you know, and that was another thing we 94 00:05:30,420 --> 00:05:33,870 had. It's right. We had a thing going on. That's crazy with the 95 00:05:33,870 --> 00:05:40,770 social calendar. Anyway, I didn't think of reserving 96 00:05:40,770 --> 00:05:45,960 anything or, like restaurant or any of this. And Friday morning, 97 00:05:45,990 --> 00:05:48,960 Mickey wakes me up with a beautiful card and breakfast and 98 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:54,210 candles and like, ah, oh, drop the ball. Oh, like Oh, friggin 99 00:05:54,210 --> 00:05:58,680 Russian. fragger. As you're killing, oh, my God, I at least 100 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:03,210 give me the morning to rain some stuff. He said, No, no, don't 101 00:06:03,210 --> 00:06:06,960 worry. You had a show yesterday. I know. It's okay. Okay, this is 102 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,180 very obvious. The Gauntlet is down. 103 00:06:09,870 --> 00:06:14,580 Yeah, that's not good. No, no, don't worry about it. Don't 104 00:06:14,580 --> 00:06:16,470 worry about forgetting about me. 105 00:06:16,500 --> 00:06:20,250 I didn't forget. This was it was not okay. This I was totally 106 00:06:20,250 --> 00:06:24,120 ashamed and guilty. I hop in the truck. I'm running around to 107 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:27,750 flower shops. Let me tell you something that I didn't know. 108 00:06:27,930 --> 00:06:34,020 But it seems obvious flowers in Texas, not a good match. And 109 00:06:34,050 --> 00:06:37,740 people literally would look at me like, you seriously, you're 110 00:06:37,740 --> 00:06:40,770 here for roses right now on Valentine's Day, and they'd walk 111 00:06:40,770 --> 00:06:44,580 away from me. The people in the store would walk away. Yeah, 112 00:06:44,610 --> 00:06:45,900 like I was generat. 113 00:06:46,860 --> 00:06:48,990 Yeah, I would do the same thing. So 114 00:06:49,860 --> 00:06:53,550 I wound up finding you know, handmade chocolate and I got a 115 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:57,630 beautiful card. And, and I drew and you know how when you have 116 00:06:57,630 --> 00:06:59,910 the, you have the card and you have the magic marker and you're 117 00:06:59,910 --> 00:07:02,340 doing like your thing. And you're lucky you got through the 118 00:07:02,340 --> 00:07:04,650 spelling, but then I drew the heart. And it kind of looked 119 00:07:04,650 --> 00:07:09,360 like an upside down but crack. It was a totally horrible. But 120 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:14,070 then, after our dinner, which I did was a quick to arrange 121 00:07:14,070 --> 00:07:17,760 something we were invited to spend our Valentine's evening 122 00:07:18,270 --> 00:07:23,460 with the constitutional lawyer and his wife. And because they 123 00:07:23,940 --> 00:07:27,360 they're big donors to this act theatre here. And we went to see 124 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:32,310 the play in the next room, or the vibrator play as it's known. 125 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:33,900 Are you familiar with this play? 126 00:07:34,500 --> 00:07:35,460 Never heard of it. 127 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:39,240 There was by Sarah rule, and believe me, I'm just reading 128 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:44,700 what I Googled. It was nominated for Tony's and mythical one, a 129 00:07:44,700 --> 00:07:49,290 Tony. And she is the name of it again. In the next room, the 130 00:07:49,290 --> 00:07:55,350 vibrator play. And it's about the first doctor who use the 131 00:07:55,350 --> 00:07:59,670 vibrator on women to rid them of their hysteria. So you know, the 132 00:07:59,670 --> 00:08:04,920 play may be very well written. But within the were in the first 133 00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:07,320 act halfway through the first act, and Mickey and I looked at 134 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:13,110 each other like, oh my god, this acting is so bad. It's just 135 00:08:13,110 --> 00:08:17,580 completely horrible. And maybe Welcome to the locals. And maybe 136 00:08:17,580 --> 00:08:20,850 10 minutes after that all of a sudden, a guy keels over right 137 00:08:20,850 --> 00:08:23,910 behind us from a heart attack, probably because of the acting. 138 00:08:25,470 --> 00:08:31,590 It's just and this is the third time this has happened with me. 139 00:08:31,950 --> 00:08:34,170 So I don't know if it's me. Yes or no. Yeah, 140 00:08:34,169 --> 00:08:37,769 this is. Yeah, I heard of this play because it actually 141 00:08:37,769 --> 00:08:39,389 premiered in Berkeley. 142 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:43,170 Yes, that's right. Exactly. That should tell you enough right 143 00:08:43,170 --> 00:08:52,320 there. So the guy these keels over and Mickey stops the play. 144 00:08:53,490 --> 00:08:55,920 This is why it's yeah, this is the woman you want when there's 145 00:08:55,920 --> 00:09:00,120 an emergency. So this guy keels over forward, you know, and so 146 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,760 now he's like one row behind us. And Nikki just stands up and 147 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:05,460 says, Oh, this is unbelievable. Yes. And make me stand up. 148 00:09:05,700 --> 00:09:08,700 Doors are better than mine to stop stop medical doctor, 149 00:09:08,700 --> 00:09:09,780 medical doctor. 150 00:09:09,900 --> 00:09:12,990 And I'm like, as opposed to a veterinarian. I don't know. What 151 00:09:12,990 --> 00:09:16,170 are we gonna do to budget and it's good. And then because 152 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,500 everyone's frozen and Mickey is like, alright, call a doctor 153 00:09:19,500 --> 00:09:23,460 here. medical doctor. And people like chill I call 911. And he's 154 00:09:23,460 --> 00:09:29,070 like, Yes, call 911 You You take it over. I think she saved the 155 00:09:29,070 --> 00:09:31,950 guy's life. She probably did. 156 00:09:33,450 --> 00:09:36,270 Or that's a Valentine's Day gift. Yeah. And well, 157 00:09:36,510 --> 00:09:37,770 that really kind of you know, you 158 00:09:37,770 --> 00:09:40,140 really you really blew it.

Send them at least a 182 00:10:58,620 --> 00:10:59,490 hell Oh. 183 00:11:01,110 --> 00:11:03,690 Well, that's what that's what the E cards that's why that's 184 00:11:04,020 --> 00:11:07,680 been that was great invention. Oh, I love you kind of here's an 185 00:11:07,680 --> 00:11:15,120 E card. Anyway, so I had lots of time to work on real things. 186 00:11:15,660 --> 00:11:16,620 Besides Bogota 187 00:11:16,980 --> 00:11:20,430 this story about about the heart attack in the theatre is 188 00:11:20,430 --> 00:11:21,780 priceless This is the third 189 00:11:21,780 --> 00:11:24,990 time that the previous time watch people dropping around 190 00:11:24,990 --> 00:11:27,840 yeah no no around me that remember the UT game on 191 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,810 Thanksgiving where the lady died right down two rows below me. 192 00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:33,960 Then we had the heart attack on the plane last time we flew it's 193 00:11:34,290 --> 00:11:40,410 just like the third heart attack. Hmm I don't know. I 194 00:11:40,410 --> 00:11:41,220 don't really have some 195 00:11:41,220 --> 00:11:45,450 vibe coming off. Maybe let's third three threes random now 196 00:11:45,450 --> 00:11:47,430 you probably won't happen again. Everyone in life? Probably 197 00:11:47,430 --> 00:11:51,900 not. So I focused on the three things that we were talking 198 00:11:51,900 --> 00:11:55,500 about last I focused on NGO's because I just shared with you 199 00:11:55,500 --> 00:12:00,630 blew me away with your study. And to revisit that. I don't 200 00:12:00,630 --> 00:12:03,930 remember exactly what the study was. But the result was people 201 00:12:04,170 --> 00:12:07,170 believe the trust study done by Edelman on a yearly basis. 202 00:12:07,170 --> 00:12:09,600 Right? Exactly what should we you are not supposed to report 203 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:13,920 on? To see I'm not supposed to write it up just the way I heard 204 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,170 it. Okay, that's what I heard. So I didn't write it word of 205 00:12:16,170 --> 00:12:20,910 it, not a word. So the trust studies people trust 206 00:12:20,910 --> 00:12:24,810 nongovernmental organisations the most and so I decided it was 207 00:12:24,810 --> 00:12:28,410 time to probably revisit a couple of these. Wow. 208 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:31,890 Particularly your face something 209 00:12:31,890 --> 00:12:34,110 like God, particularly Human Rights Watch. 210 00:12:35,100 --> 00:12:37,230 Oh, yeah, those guys. Well, 211 00:12:37,260 --> 00:12:39,900 these are kind of the guys they're the ones that have been 212 00:12:39,900 --> 00:12:42,810 doing all this the Sochi stuff but that's the way to pronounce 213 00:12:42,810 --> 00:12:47,190 it by the way. So Archie, so Archie, not so cheap. So watchI 214 00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:51,870 well, before you go there, I do have one clip that that relates 215 00:12:51,870 --> 00:12:56,430 to where I think you might be headed, which is I have a clip 216 00:12:56,430 --> 00:13:01,440 of a woman what is ours one of our ski jumpers and female ski 217 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:04,530 jumpers is the first time they have female ski jumpers. This 218 00:13:04,590 --> 00:13:08,820 clip by the way as the Olympian does not get the memo. And I 219 00:13:08,820 --> 00:13:12,120 suspect that because she's she's pretty she's a pretty Olympic 220 00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:15,510 ski jumper and they had her on RT just tell her what she 221 00:13:15,510 --> 00:13:19,110 thought about the whole situation and all the other give 222 00:13:19,110 --> 00:13:22,110 her an impression. And I believe that she was one of the people 223 00:13:22,110 --> 00:13:26,100 that weren't weren't briefed, because who's who's gonna talk 224 00:13:26,100 --> 00:13:31,740 to her? And they so she was honest, not breathe and she told 225 00:13:31,740 --> 00:13:33,090 it like it is about Sochi, 226 00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:36,510 nevertheless had been enjoying life outside the gates. We heard 227 00:13:36,510 --> 00:13:37,800 from some competitors. 228 00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:44,220 I find it beautiful. I think he's been organised. Great. He's 229 00:13:44,220 --> 00:13:47,640 really nice. And of course, the scenery is just fabulous. It was 230 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:52,800 hard not attention to how much negativity it was getting. But I 231 00:13:52,830 --> 00:13:54,900 was trying to stay optimistic. I knew I was coming here 232 00:13:54,900 --> 00:13:58,110 regardless and so far, I have been so pleasantly surprised. 233 00:13:58,560 --> 00:14:02,190 Well as a sidetrack to that. I have been following the 234 00:14:02,190 --> 00:14:05,100 Olympics. I tried to re catch the fever which is very very 235 00:14:05,100 --> 00:14:08,040 very hard with all the negativity surrounding it. One 236 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:11,550 of the couples last night the guy used to be in radio sales. 237 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:15,480 Now I think you and I pretty much can identify a radio sales 238 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:19,440 guy from a million miles away because they know exactly what's 239 00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:23,160 going on. Right and they are they're kind of they're like, 240 00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,670 stock traders almost would you agree this that's a very typical 241 00:14:26,670 --> 00:14:30,570 kind of floor guy, floor guy but he understands what's going on 242 00:14:30,570 --> 00:14:33,870 in life. And we got the talking about the Olympics and he said 243 00:14:33,900 --> 00:14:37,770 oh my god, they're doing it so well. Did you use Did you see 244 00:14:37,770 --> 00:14:41,820 the the snowboarder whose brother is all messed up and 245 00:14:41,820 --> 00:14:45,690 he's like, now he's, you know, even though he was a better 246 00:14:45,690 --> 00:14:47,340 snowboarder, he got Parkinson's and 247 00:14:47,490 --> 00:14:49,860 put the camera on that guy a little too long. 248 00:14:49,890 --> 00:14:57,360 What do you mean it's beautiful in slo mo? It's beautiful. We 249 00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:59,970 were talking about how that has got to be a ratings Bonanza 250 00:15:00,900 --> 00:15:01,410 Anyway, 251 00:15:02,069 --> 00:15:04,799 yeah, cumin definitely gets the tear to come out in most 252 00:15:04,799 --> 00:15:07,739 people's eyes, a horse of course and then there's a lot of tear 253 00:15:07,739 --> 00:15:09,389 jerking moments in the Olympics. 254 00:15:09,900 --> 00:15:15,120 And then our short programme ice skater fell and then he got up 255 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:19,350 and he finished his programme a true Olympic moment. I shed 256 00:15:19,350 --> 00:15:20,250 another tear 257 00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:24,600 fell on his ass. People were falling all over the place but 258 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:24,720 he 259 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:30,120 didn't lose because he had the Olympic spirit. So if you look 260 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:33,570 at Human Rights Watch this is very in their record is so 261 00:15:33,570 --> 00:15:40,410 atrocious In fact, the was malinovski I think it is called 262 00:15:40,410 --> 00:15:44,070 worked for two was high ranking official Human Rights Watch, was 263 00:15:44,070 --> 00:15:47,370 nominated and approved to be Assistant Secretary of State for 264 00:15:47,370 --> 00:15:52,380 Democracy, Human Rights and labour. And subsequently is now 265 00:15:52,410 --> 00:15:56,220 in is convenes actually, the the Tuesday meetings where they 266 00:15:56,220 --> 00:15:59,310 determine who they're going to kill with the drone. This is 267 00:15:59,310 --> 00:16:02,400 Human Rights Watch this is and this this guy was in government 268 00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:05,310 before they went out of government into Human Rights 269 00:16:05,310 --> 00:16:09,240 Watch and back again. And these people are all for renditions, 270 00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:13,080 you know, as long as they're not, you know, the inhumane is a 271 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:17,520 horrible organisation. It really is. It's just it just and so of 272 00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:21,570 course, you know, I had to pull their 990 just to see, to see 273 00:16:21,570 --> 00:16:26,910 what's going on dev comm like I think they do $35 million in 274 00:16:26,910 --> 00:16:29,730 revenue in one year. I'm pulling up the 990. Now, so I can just 275 00:16:29,730 --> 00:16:35,610 give you the made a couple of markups. Yeah, I think what was 276 00:16:35,610 --> 00:16:43,050 kind of interesting. Here we go. What did they do? Yeah, they 277 00:16:43,050 --> 00:16:52,170 did. $36 million in total revenue for 2012. Salaries $11 278 00:16:52,170 --> 00:16:56,010 million. Seems a little on the heavy side if you ask me. But 279 00:16:56,010 --> 00:16:56,550 okay. 280 00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:58,950 How many people do they have working there? 281 00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:03,060 Well, they don't specify everything. Because it's, they 282 00:17:03,060 --> 00:17:07,260 don't have to first of all, they only show the top people who are 283 00:17:07,260 --> 00:17:09,090 working there. And it's all within reason they got just they 284 00:17:09,090 --> 00:17:14,130 got a lot of people making 240 to $260,000. Right. But when you 285 00:17:14,130 --> 00:17:22,470 really see the grants they paid out, was $3.7 million. So they 286 00:17:22,500 --> 00:17:25,320 they almost tripled the amount in salaries as to what they 287 00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:30,510 actually paid out in grants all the rest of the money. Go so 288 00:17:30,510 --> 00:17:35,520 what what was, I'm sorry, this is human rights. I made a 289 00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:38,550 mistake. This is Human Rights Campaign. This is the split off. 290 00:17:39,270 --> 00:17:41,160 So you have the Human Rights Watch, then you have human 291 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:45,870 rights campaign, Human Rights Campaign foundation, it's a web 292 00:17:45,930 --> 00:17:50,970 of stuff. And this is this is the gay and lesbian thing. HRC. 293 00:17:51,930 --> 00:17:55,890 In fact, human rights camp, this is from their tax form, the 294 00:17:55,890 --> 00:17:57,930 Human Rights Campaign is organised and operated for the 295 00:17:57,930 --> 00:18:01,710 promotion of the social welfare of the lesbian, gay, bisexual 296 00:18:01,710 --> 00:18:05,490 and transgender community. By inspiring and engaging people 297 00:18:05,490 --> 00:18:11,580 from around the globe. That is their mission statement. And 298 00:18:11,580 --> 00:18:15,690 that what they do is they give little bits and bobs to just a 299 00:18:15,690 --> 00:18:20,550 different LGBT organisations. But the majority of the money's 300 00:18:20,550 --> 00:18:25,590 going into overhead and lobbying $2 million for lobbying. And 301 00:18:25,590 --> 00:18:27,480 then the page where they have all their donors, because it 302 00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:30,510 says their money comes from individuals, they have all the 303 00:18:30,540 --> 00:18:32,610 all the amounts, but none of them because they don't have to 304 00:18:32,610 --> 00:18:35,340 report it. None of the names. So there's an individual gave 305 00:18:35,340 --> 00:18:41,100 150,300 41,000 But no names. completely non transparent, this 306 00:18:41,100 --> 00:18:41,670 whole thing. 307 00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:48,150 Well, you know, You confused me. 308 00:18:49,110 --> 00:18:51,210 Why? Well, because 309 00:18:51,210 --> 00:18:55,110 the What about Human Rights Watch? 999? 310 00:18:55,170 --> 00:19:00,000 Yeah, oh, they have over $150 million? No, but I think what 311 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,520 I'm trying to say is they're split off and you have to follow 312 00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:06,510 all these individual little bits. And the Human Rights 313 00:19:06,510 --> 00:19:09,900 Watch. That's that is pretty much one for one, the State 314 00:19:09,900 --> 00:19:13,740 Department and a lot of their money comes from what is it the 315 00:19:14,670 --> 00:19:20,070 democratic endowment? Not fun. What is it in down on? What is 316 00:19:20,070 --> 00:19:22,800 it that what is that thing called? The Endowment for 317 00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,200 Democracy? Come on, help me out? 318 00:19:25,770 --> 00:19:27,660 I don't know what it is. I never heard of it. Yes, of 319 00:19:27,660 --> 00:19:29,490 course you do. It's a big drinking Club. 320 00:19:30,360 --> 00:19:31,650 Well, there's a lot of those. 321 00:19:33,360 --> 00:19:38,880 On the second National Endowment for Democracy. You know, this 322 00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:41,760 don't I've heard of that? Yes. This is where Hillary Clinton 323 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:46,410 speaks at this all the time. And this is Oh, yeah, that's right. 324 00:19:46,410 --> 00:19:46,710 And 325 00:19:47,070 --> 00:19:50,430 it has something to do they take somehow there's somebody's 326 00:19:50,430 --> 00:19:51,990 funnelling money that that is 327 00:19:51,990 --> 00:19:55,200 directly from the State Department. And then they they 328 00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:57,690 distributed out to all these other groups and crew including 329 00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:01,440 Human Rights Watch, and human rights. Now and Human Rights 330 00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:05,070 Campaign and Human Rights Foundation. And these are all 331 00:20:05,070 --> 00:20:07,950 the NGOs and they come up with with little reports. And even 332 00:20:07,950 --> 00:20:11,340 though we reported on it way ahead of time, seems that for 333 00:20:11,340 --> 00:20:14,040 some reason this is now his News Group monitoring 334 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:17,700 freedom of the press worldwide has issued a strong rebuke to 335 00:20:17,700 --> 00:20:22,950 the US, the World Press Freedom Index ranks the US 46 This year 336 00:20:22,950 --> 00:20:26,490 down from 13 spots down from last year, Reporters Without 337 00:20:26,490 --> 00:20:29,970 Borders says the US had quote, one of the most significant 338 00:20:29,970 --> 00:20:31,890 declines in press freedom. 339 00:20:32,130 --> 00:20:35,550 And now if you look at the numbers, we're really talking a 340 00:20:35,550 --> 00:20:42,420 difference of 4%. over last year, on a scale of one to 100, 341 00:20:42,450 --> 00:20:46,590 you know, there's a 4% decline that puts the US in 46%. 342 00:20:46,590 --> 00:20:47,010 Decline. 343 00:20:47,010 --> 00:20:50,850 That's not right. Yeah, it is. Not, it was 33. Before 344 00:20:52,020 --> 00:20:55,170 they do it, but it's a numbers. If you look at the actual 345 00:20:55,170 --> 00:20:59,790 document, it's a number scoring system. This is this is the try 346 00:20:59,790 --> 00:21:00,600 see what you're saying? Yeah, 347 00:21:00,630 --> 00:21:04,050 this is like showing the graphic input. Yeah, the input is 348 00:21:04,050 --> 00:21:07,650 literally a 4% difference over last year, because everything is 349 00:21:07,650 --> 00:21:10,920 so close, when they have the numbers about education, all 350 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:14,820 America's 190 It's on the list, which is really, it's like two 351 00:21:14,820 --> 00:21:18,390 basis points different from number two. It's just that looks 352 00:21:18,390 --> 00:21:20,670 really good and makes for a good press release. 353 00:21:22,380 --> 00:21:23,970 So it's nice catch, yeah. 354 00:21:24,780 --> 00:21:28,260 And this will go nicely with our new domain name. Thank you, 355 00:21:28,260 --> 00:21:32,340 Paul, the InfoSec guy Reporters Without boredom.com. I guess we 356 00:21:32,730 --> 00:21:36,120 came up with that last time. And we have reporters without 357 00:21:36,120 --> 00:21:38,790 boredom.com is our website, because I think we should be 358 00:21:38,790 --> 00:21:43,920 doing our own little report. And that, of course, brought me 359 00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:49,230 right back to the human rights NGOs. And I thought maybe it 360 00:21:49,230 --> 00:21:56,220 would be interesting to revisit, briefly, human rights. Good 361 00:21:56,220 --> 00:22:00,480 people talk about human rights, gay rights, animal rights, but 362 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:04,230 mainly human rights. And I guess the big thing is LGBTQ Qi 363 00:22:04,230 --> 00:22:09,090 rights. But where did these rights come from? Who determines 364 00:22:09,090 --> 00:22:13,620 the rights? What who codifies the human rights? When were 365 00:22:13,620 --> 00:22:15,000 these put into existence? 366 00:22:17,850 --> 00:22:19,050 Okay, you're asking me, 367 00:22:19,140 --> 00:22:20,700 I don't know if you if you recall. 368 00:22:21,659 --> 00:22:24,299 Well, I mean, the way it's usually presented, is there a 369 00:22:24,299 --> 00:22:25,589 God given? Right? 370 00:22:26,010 --> 00:22:29,520 Exactly. Right. Except this really happened in the 90s. 371 00:22:30,210 --> 00:22:30,900 That's when 372 00:22:31,469 --> 00:22:36,299 Yes, I didn't know that God came through was he passing through 373 00:22:36,299 --> 00:22:37,619 in the 90s. A little 374 00:22:37,620 --> 00:22:42,150 too, I got stuck in the 80s. He got stuck with shoulder pads. 375 00:22:42,150 --> 00:22:45,570 And he's like I was groovin. Too much. He came in in the 90s. And 376 00:22:45,570 --> 00:22:48,000 that's really when the United Nations codified all this. And 377 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:51,270 what I was going to do is go back to a quick clip, I pulled 378 00:22:51,270 --> 00:22:53,640 this from one of our earlier shows from the early three 379 00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:57,810 hundreds, when I remember this. Yeah, by the way, when I 380 00:22:57,810 --> 00:23:02,040 interviewed Samuel Moines, professor at Columbia, good, 381 00:23:02,070 --> 00:23:06,720 yep, professor at Columbia. And he specifically talks about 382 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,090 where these human rights really came from, but what they're 383 00:23:09,090 --> 00:23:12,750 really used for. And as you might guess, they're not really 384 00:23:12,750 --> 00:23:15,930 to protect other people's human rights. They're used to impose 385 00:23:16,590 --> 00:23:20,400 military warfare on countries who are accused, or states as he 386 00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:23,520 will say, who were accused of not to protecting human rights, 387 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:25,890 which is exactly what's going on. So I thought it might be 388 00:23:25,890 --> 00:23:27,300 good to revisit that, yes, you 389 00:23:27,300 --> 00:23:31,440 imply human rights are open to so many divergent uses. And the 390 00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:36,360 one thing I would clarify is that the UN tries to introduce 391 00:23:36,360 --> 00:23:38,910 human rights are right after World War Two. And that's how we 392 00:23:38,910 --> 00:23:43,350 get the Universal Declaration. But no one really cares and in a 393 00:23:43,350 --> 00:23:47,790 way that UN initially is where human rights go to die. So what 394 00:23:47,790 --> 00:23:51,930 happens in the post war period, is that human rights are kind of 395 00:23:51,930 --> 00:23:55,950 reclaimed from the UN. On the one hand, ordinary people part 396 00:23:55,950 --> 00:24:00,240 of amnesty and eventually part of human rights groups like 397 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:05,280 Human Rights Watch, begin to take take a claim to human 398 00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:11,160 rights to analysing other states to criticising other states. 399 00:24:12,090 --> 00:24:14,970 And the Human Rights Council, the United Nations body that 400 00:24:14,970 --> 00:24:16,650 does this for a living, 401 00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:19,950 it definitely does. So it definitely does. So but so but 402 00:24:19,950 --> 00:24:23,430 there are also so called non governmental organisations which 403 00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:27,720 try to prevent provide an alternative Human Rights Forum 404 00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:32,070 to the United Nations, and then presidents do it. So, statesman 405 00:24:32,070 --> 00:24:38,250 since Jimmy Carter, have invoked human rights have said American 406 00:24:38,250 --> 00:24:41,760 foreign policy should abide by human rights or even promote 407 00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:46,260 human rights. And there we would get into I think, what's quite 408 00:24:46,260 --> 00:24:49,170 difficult about it because human rights could mean lots of 409 00:24:49,170 --> 00:24:52,680 different things. And it really depends who's invoking them and 410 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:57,390 to what purpose? I wouldn't want to rule out that it can be a 411 00:24:57,390 --> 00:25:02,160 language that can make a difference. Since interfering 412 00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:04,920 with other sovereignties may be something worth doing, and there 413 00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:09,210 may be ways of doing it, that improve the world. But as you 414 00:25:09,210 --> 00:25:13,290 suggest or fear, it could also be subject to abuse. And I think 415 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:18,300 we have to just be realist and look out. So that when we hear 416 00:25:18,300 --> 00:25:22,860 human rights, we ask what for which rights? With whose 417 00:25:22,860 --> 00:25:24,660 interests in mind. And 418 00:25:25,020 --> 00:25:30,060 that is a professor who's has written the book about human 419 00:25:30,060 --> 00:25:30,570 rights? 420 00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:37,410 How does human rights and droning some family out in the 421 00:25:37,410 --> 00:25:39,990 middle of nowhere Yemen, yeah, how together? 422 00:25:40,020 --> 00:25:44,310 How does that go together? Yeah, it doesn't, how the only way I 423 00:25:44,310 --> 00:25:49,680 see it going together is if you condition people enough to not 424 00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:54,930 care. And that's also kind of his point is that Americans 425 00:25:55,020 --> 00:26:00,810 really don't care. If and if you if you look at what's going on, 426 00:26:00,810 --> 00:26:06,810 if you look at the spy programmes, just the IRS 427 00:26:06,810 --> 00:26:11,610 targeting any really anything. No one really cares. No one 428 00:26:11,610 --> 00:26:11,820 gives 429 00:26:11,850 --> 00:26:16,380 it No. Makes that you it kind of makes that don't care kind of 430 00:26:16,380 --> 00:26:21,780 interesting, in an ironic way, is that there are two political 431 00:26:21,780 --> 00:26:25,080 factions that dominate the the conversation the United States, 432 00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:29,160 the Conservatives and the liberals. And they both pretend 433 00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:32,550 to care in a lot of different ways. But when the ball is in 434 00:26:32,550 --> 00:26:35,550 their court as it is in the liberal world at the moment, 435 00:26:35,790 --> 00:26:38,460 they don't care. They don't do anything. Nobody gives a crap 436 00:26:38,460 --> 00:26:43,530 about Obama's kill list. They talk a big goal. It's terrible. 437 00:26:43,530 --> 00:26:45,900 It's terrible. What are we having for dinner tonight? 438 00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:51,990 And then what's, what's interesting is and it's fun to 439 00:26:51,990 --> 00:27:00,210 watch the lesbian, the LGBTQ Qi community sit by idly while they 440 00:27:00,210 --> 00:27:06,360 are being misused. In the latest round of what the human rights 441 00:27:06,390 --> 00:27:09,870 organisations, the NGOs, the non governmental organisations who 442 00:27:09,870 --> 00:27:14,220 are either directly or indirectly funded by the federal 443 00:27:14,220 --> 00:27:20,910 government are misusing gay and rainbow for their own benefit, 444 00:27:21,390 --> 00:27:24,510 of course, and to and to increase their I know, but to 445 00:27:24,510 --> 00:27:28,170 increase the coffers and everyone's going along blindly. 446 00:27:28,650 --> 00:27:35,250 They don't care. They don't care or they're part of it. Or it's 447 00:27:35,250 --> 00:27:37,980 maybe it's a social thing. I mean, just like to go back to 448 00:27:37,980 --> 00:27:41,790 again, the gay news that with the nd Harmon what's her name? 449 00:27:41,790 --> 00:27:46,650 Northrup woman. They don't really go beyond any thing 450 00:27:46,650 --> 00:27:50,070 superficial. Just like oh, they somebody's somebody's a 451 00:27:50,070 --> 00:27:54,330 douchebag guy. This guy said that gays are bad. This guy said 452 00:27:54,330 --> 00:27:56,820 that gays are bad and I mean, there's nothing more to it. They 453 00:27:56,820 --> 00:28:00,210 don't see any big picture. And they don't care about you know 454 00:28:00,210 --> 00:28:03,480 the truth about the Russians or anything in between. Well, they 455 00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:04,140 don't care. 456 00:28:04,170 --> 00:28:11,430 Well, here's here's the latest I think blatant misuse of the 457 00:28:11,460 --> 00:28:15,000 alternative lifestyle and sexuality communities and can we 458 00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:19,830 stop with be calling it a community, that community and a 459 00:28:19,830 --> 00:28:23,790 community you're lesbian, you're gay transaction, transgendered 460 00:28:26,550 --> 00:28:30,810 transgender new one, you're vicarious bisexual, hetero 461 00:28:30,810 --> 00:28:33,630 Flexa. Whatever it is, it's just community that we have part of 462 00:28:33,630 --> 00:28:36,720 the community of the human people. But this this one really 463 00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:37,530 blew me away. 464 00:28:37,650 --> 00:28:41,460 Facebook users, your about section just expanded in a big 465 00:28:41,460 --> 00:28:45,660 and maybe for many of you unfamiliar way. Under gender, 466 00:28:45,690 --> 00:28:50,130 there's now a custom option, and it allows you to choose from 50 467 00:28:50,130 --> 00:28:54,030 terms. Here's some of the examples cisgender gender fluid 468 00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:58,260 to spirit, intersex, and neither Joining me now rich Ferraro, 469 00:28:58,260 --> 00:29:00,960 Vice President of Communications for GLAAD. So written 470 00:29:00,990 --> 00:29:04,020 Let's pay close attention to what's going on here. This is a 471 00:29:04,020 --> 00:29:07,050 representative from GLAAD. This is another non governmental 472 00:29:07,050 --> 00:29:12,690 organisation. And this guy is peeing in his pants with joy 473 00:29:13,410 --> 00:29:18,270 that they have somehow it was so hard to convince Facebook to 474 00:29:18,300 --> 00:29:22,830 allow people to customise their gender where really, Facebook is 475 00:29:22,830 --> 00:29:27,570 going. Wow, thank you for yet another invaluable data points 476 00:29:27,570 --> 00:29:31,050 that we can send messaging to these people from advertisers. 477 00:29:31,350 --> 00:29:35,580 How obviously has to make right it's so a win for Facebook to 478 00:29:35,580 --> 00:29:40,710 win for Facebook, and this guy is he's like, glad we had to 479 00:29:40,710 --> 00:29:44,700 work so hard, but we got him to do it. We got him for equality 480 00:29:44,700 --> 00:29:49,020 for all 50 categories of sex than gender. You actually 481 00:29:49,020 --> 00:29:53,160 worked on this project with Facebook. So whose idea was it 482 00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:56,700 and why did it become an issue and an important move for 483 00:29:56,700 --> 00:29:57,630 Facebook Facebook 484 00:29:57,630 --> 00:30:00,450 today is a reflection of who we are and the story that We want 485 00:30:00,450 --> 00:30:02,610 to tell the world about ourselves. And there were some 486 00:30:02,610 --> 00:30:04,200 users who couldn't do that. 487 00:30:07,410 --> 00:30:09,960 I don't have to tell you what the, you know, this kind of guy, 488 00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:13,860 right? This PR guy is really, really horrible Facebook, 489 00:30:14,190 --> 00:30:18,000 smarmy PR guy there are a lot of them are very, they're all cut 490 00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:18,900 from the same cloth. 491 00:30:19,410 --> 00:30:22,800 Glad to help work with us on this issue. And Claude was happy 492 00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:25,710 to work with Facebook. But more importantly, we were happy for 493 00:30:25,710 --> 00:30:29,190 the transgender and gender non conforming youth who now could 494 00:30:29,190 --> 00:30:33,000 tell gender non conforming youth the world who they are in their 495 00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:33,540 own words. 496 00:30:33,570 --> 00:30:36,360 So what do you say to those folks that are like, Okay, this 497 00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:40,200 is just way too much to understand and comprehend. And 498 00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:42,510 why can't we just keep it more simple. 499 00:30:42,540 --> 00:30:46,170 I don't think it's ridiculous, to accept LGBT young people for 500 00:30:46,170 --> 00:30:50,160 who they are. I think that Facebook has really made a great 501 00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:53,340 step forward to telling those young people that you can be who 502 00:30:53,340 --> 00:30:54,690 you are on Facebook. 503 00:30:55,170 --> 00:30:57,060 That's a beautiful thing. We all want to be who we are. 504 00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:00,030 Beautiful thing we all want to that actually that's a little 505 00:31:00,030 --> 00:31:02,100 slam at the end. That was kind of fun. Listen to what she says 506 00:31:02,100 --> 00:31:04,740 at the end. That's a beautiful thing. We all want to be what we 507 00:31:04,740 --> 00:31:07,710 are right rich, you crazy gay PR guy 508 00:31:07,740 --> 00:31:09,210 on Facebook? Well, that's a 509 00:31:09,210 --> 00:31:11,550 beautiful thing. We all want to be who we are right, Rich. 510 00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:13,650 Right? 511 00:31:13,710 --> 00:31:16,800 You sleeves that subtle. I hadn't heard 512 00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:21,360 that the first time around as nice. And so this is to me, I 513 00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:24,750 can't see it any other way than this? Is Facebook, just taking 514 00:31:24,750 --> 00:31:29,910 advantage of free publicity basically. And and turn that 515 00:31:29,910 --> 00:31:33,600 into direct advertising dollars. Because 516 00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:36,240 Oh, yeah, no, this is another You're right. This is exactly 517 00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:40,200 right. This is a data point for advertisers, and the NSA and 518 00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:43,440 whoever else, because now you've just you've given a little bit 519 00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:47,460 more of yourself away, because you are a whatever these things 520 00:31:47,460 --> 00:31:50,880 are transit jester, whatever that, you know, whatever, some 521 00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:53,850 of these 50 categories, I'd like to hear a reading of the 50 522 00:31:53,850 --> 00:31:55,020 categories. Do you have that? 523 00:31:55,230 --> 00:31:58,350 Well, the funny thing is, I went into Facebook, and I wanted to 524 00:31:58,350 --> 00:32:02,100 try it. And it seems like you type in a letter and they give 525 00:32:02,100 --> 00:32:05,520 you suggestions. But I think you can do whatever you want to do. 526 00:32:06,090 --> 00:32:08,700 It seems like you can change it into anything. But here's the 527 00:32:08,700 --> 00:32:12,420 rub. So I went in and of course I put in hetero flexible. I 528 00:32:12,420 --> 00:32:16,080 think that'll be funny. And then I save it and it says What does 529 00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:17,130 it even mean? 530 00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:22,650 Who cares? The flex hopefully there'll be able to say everyone 531 00:32:22,650 --> 00:32:23,190 should put it 532 00:32:23,220 --> 00:32:26,400 hetero flexible. And as I put that in, but then Facebook says, 533 00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:30,090 oh, no, you can't do that. You have to have two categories of 534 00:32:30,090 --> 00:32:35,970 people with two different gender descriptions. So you have the I 535 00:32:35,970 --> 00:32:39,090 know it's it's crazy. You cannot just have one it has to be you 536 00:32:39,090 --> 00:32:42,270 have to you have to have the same. But you have to have one 537 00:32:42,270 --> 00:32:45,450 for your friends and then one for public and one for your 538 00:32:45,540 --> 00:32:48,990 what's your red circles? I don't know. I don't know how Facebook 539 00:32:48,990 --> 00:32:53,160 works is. I'm afraid I'll get sucked in and become a user. 540 00:32:53,730 --> 00:32:54,540 A robot. 541 00:32:55,380 --> 00:32:56,760 I don't want to get hooked on it. So I'm 542 00:32:57,270 --> 00:33:00,660 John, Facebook's really not that bad. I think you've got the 543 00:33:00,660 --> 00:33:02,550 wrong impression. I think so too. 544 00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:08,100 But then so as I'm researching this I fall into I think this is 545 00:33:08,130 --> 00:33:14,370 all part of it. The general neutral gender neutral parenting 546 00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:19,020 movement and community. Oh, yeah, this is pretty big. 547 00:33:19,860 --> 00:33:24,180 Oh, a huge and it's in the Bay Area. We get a lot of those man 548 00:33:24,180 --> 00:33:27,690 on the street reports from our local news, where this person is 549 00:33:27,690 --> 00:33:29,940 like, you know, I don't understand why they keep the 550 00:33:29,940 --> 00:33:32,580 building problem is out of control because my son wears a 551 00:33:32,580 --> 00:33:35,850 dress. Yeah, and we think he should wear he should wear 552 00:33:35,850 --> 00:33:39,840 whatever he wants whatever he wants to do is fine. Yeah, or 553 00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:43,530 we want to raise our son as a boy and a girl so he won't grow 554 00:33:43,530 --> 00:33:47,940 up aggressive towards women. Yeah, there's that now there's 555 00:33:47,970 --> 00:33:53,670 there is one and this is literally parents exposing their 556 00:33:53,670 --> 00:33:59,550 children to me traditional boy traditional girls stuff, and 557 00:33:59,550 --> 00:34:02,640 lifestyle. Then there's the and I'm trying to follows then 558 00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:06,660 there's the general the gender creative parenting, which is 559 00:34:06,660 --> 00:34:09,480 different, which I think is actually yeah, which I think is 560 00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:13,020 okay, because it's it's not saying no when your kid wants to 561 00:34:13,020 --> 00:34:18,240 play with adults or wants to have his hair along or whatever. 562 00:34:18,240 --> 00:34:21,840 It's not saying no, you can't do that. You're a boy that I'm okay 563 00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:26,550 with. I think the name gender creative parenting is off base 564 00:34:26,550 --> 00:34:30,720 because it's just it's a bit pretentious. Yes. But it seems 565 00:34:30,720 --> 00:34:33,060 like every one of these parents who was in the news you know 566 00:34:33,060 --> 00:34:35,970 like raising my boy chick. I really 567 00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:41,820 ah, isn't boy chicken old term for the old a Yiddish term. I 568 00:34:41,820 --> 00:34:44,310 don't know a boy chick a 569 00:34:44,310 --> 00:34:48,660 boy boy chick, goat chick I think is what you think. They 570 00:34:48,660 --> 00:34:55,710 all have a blog or a book or so, but I think we're all of this is 571 00:34:55,710 --> 00:34:58,830 headed and this is when I'm a little a little worried about 572 00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:04,140 this. ventually I think is headed towards what are we 573 00:35:04,650 --> 00:35:10,500 emancipation. And we may want to be as parents may want to be 574 00:35:10,500 --> 00:35:13,080 careful as what was really happening because at a certain 575 00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:16,650 point, when it comes to gender, I think doctors already are 576 00:35:16,650 --> 00:35:18,780 saying, Oh, mom, dad, you have to step out of the room, because 577 00:35:18,780 --> 00:35:21,330 you're going to talk about something here with your kid. 578 00:35:21,900 --> 00:35:25,350 And that's when the doctor will say, well, here's some condoms, 579 00:35:25,350 --> 00:35:27,570 you know, but you know, don't worry if you feel attracted to 580 00:35:27,570 --> 00:35:32,400 girls and or do you have same sex? And doctors are? So 581 00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:35,370 I, you know, I think you might be overlooking something, okay. 582 00:35:36,060 --> 00:35:38,850 Which is our basic theme on a lot of these things. It always 583 00:35:38,850 --> 00:35:41,880 boils down to it, which is taking our rights away. And in 584 00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:45,330 this case, I would say freedom of speech again, because this 585 00:35:45,330 --> 00:35:48,330 whole sort of thing, this whole where you this makes it so 586 00:35:48,330 --> 00:35:52,080 you're disallowed from saying, you know, your kid is going to 587 00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:55,650 be screwed up if you keep this up with them. Right? Good to 588 00:35:55,650 --> 00:35:58,410 make you're actually making them wear a dress. Why is he coming 589 00:35:58,410 --> 00:36:02,910 to school with high heels on? He's in the fourth grade lady? 590 00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:09,660 Oh, you're bullying me? Yeah, yeah. 591 00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:12,240 It was I was 592 00:36:12,540 --> 00:36:15,630 much of a society, much of society especially. And I think 593 00:36:15,630 --> 00:36:17,670 this is also a part of the world, the movement toward one 594 00:36:17,670 --> 00:36:20,220 world government and all the rest of it was a little wackier. 595 00:36:20,820 --> 00:36:25,050 There's always been this you know, this movement to, to kind 596 00:36:25,050 --> 00:36:31,560 of disintegrate the societal norms and so far as peer group 597 00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:34,260 pressure is concerned, and if you have all this this 598 00:36:34,290 --> 00:36:37,320 essentially balkanization of the social norms, in other words, 599 00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:40,860 no, people just do do. They're called nuts, kids coming in the 600 00:36:40,860 --> 00:36:43,320 fourth grade with tattoos on their face, and they're saying 601 00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:45,810 they're a girl. And they, and they're bald. And I mean, 602 00:36:45,810 --> 00:36:49,800 there's a million possibilities. And if you can't, you know, if 603 00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:53,580 there's no social norms that said, No, you know, just as a as 604 00:36:53,580 --> 00:36:56,550 a community, a real community. In other words, the people that 605 00:36:56,550 --> 00:37:00,210 live in this town can't tell you, No, you can't do that with 606 00:37:00,210 --> 00:37:04,650 this kid. It is disruptive. And if you can't do that any more 607 00:37:04,650 --> 00:37:06,840 than the whole society falls apart, because most of it is 608 00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:08,280 based on this sort of pressure. But 609 00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:11,520 I would take it just I think I leapfrog this step. And I took 610 00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:16,650 it one further. And I believe that the, and we've dealt with 611 00:37:16,650 --> 00:37:20,700 some other UN thing, children's rights and children have to have 612 00:37:20,700 --> 00:37:23,700 rights. And they didn't have to be able to sue about this to 613 00:37:23,850 --> 00:37:26,520 some shows. Yeah, and there was some legislation, it's just 614 00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:28,860 coming back to me now. But I believe when they were 13, or 615 00:37:28,860 --> 00:37:34,470 14, and maybe even 12, that they're going to start to give 616 00:37:34,470 --> 00:37:36,840 these children's so called Rights, which makes it you know, 617 00:37:36,870 --> 00:37:39,660 you gotta be careful because then people start to tell your 618 00:37:39,660 --> 00:37:41,490 kids what to do against you. 619 00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:49,140 Yeah, and that is going on now to an extent to an extent. Many 620 00:37:49,140 --> 00:37:52,260 kids come home from his school. Yeah. Which is a reason for 621 00:37:52,260 --> 00:37:57,420 homeschooling. And they kept his crackpot notions that are fed to 622 00:37:57,420 --> 00:38:00,870 him by their teacher and I mean, I've had it with the with Eric 623 00:38:00,870 --> 00:38:05,910 to shill. I bust killed Jr, who came home with some what, what, 624 00:38:05,910 --> 00:38:09,900 what have learned that? Oh, no, it's mostly stuff like Columbus. 625 00:38:10,170 --> 00:38:13,710 Columbus is a slaver and he's a horrible person that should be 626 00:38:14,010 --> 00:38:17,220 we should have indigenous day rather than because we killed 627 00:38:17,220 --> 00:38:20,610 the Indians and we're horrible. As a culture. We all stink we 628 00:38:20,610 --> 00:38:22,260 should shoot ourselves in the head. 629 00:38:22,530 --> 00:38:26,280 The American Academy of poetry acts of Paediatrics has embraced 630 00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:30,900 the youth rights campaign and movement. In recent policy 631 00:38:30,900 --> 00:38:35,250 statements on emergency contraception and care of LGBTQ 632 00:38:35,250 --> 00:38:40,530 youth. It could you people get it right is LGBTQ Qi. The AAP 633 00:38:40,530 --> 00:38:43,380 That's the American Academy of Paediatrics, urges paediatric 634 00:38:43,380 --> 00:38:47,430 paediatricians who counsel, educate, counsel, educate and 635 00:38:47,430 --> 00:38:50,250 support young people in the exercise of their sexual and 636 00:38:50,250 --> 00:38:56,460 reproductive rights. This is 12 and 13 year olds. The AAP 637 00:38:56,730 --> 00:38:59,190 informs us physicians that regardless of the adolescents 638 00:38:59,190 --> 00:39:01,440 current intent intentions for sexual behaviour, the 639 00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:03,720 paediatrician should discuss sexual safety and family 640 00:39:03,720 --> 00:39:07,290 planning as a matter of routine routine, anticipatory guidance. 641 00:39:10,230 --> 00:39:14,640 The conscientious paediatrician will go by offering to supply 642 00:39:14,730 --> 00:39:18,750 supply both boys and girls with emergency contraception to have 643 00:39:18,750 --> 00:39:23,250 on hand in case of future need. And this is done without parents 644 00:39:23,250 --> 00:39:29,310 consent 12 and 13 year olds, and, and by the way, I'm, I 645 00:39:29,340 --> 00:39:33,930 handed out stuff to my daughter even before that, but that's my 646 00:39:33,930 --> 00:39:38,340 decision. Not some association of Paediatrics as to what 647 00:39:38,340 --> 00:39:43,710 they're going to do. And that it, I think it runs both ways. 648 00:39:43,710 --> 00:39:46,560 Parents have to take responsibility, and we're easy 649 00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:49,200 to just hand it over. 650 00:39:49,770 --> 00:39:52,560 Yeah, and there are some parents who are irresponsible and crappy 651 00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:55,050 and I think they'll be targeting them. You said well, there's a 652 00:39:55,050 --> 00:39:58,500 good this one is beside the point because they still have 653 00:39:58,500 --> 00:40:04,320 these rights. As they, you know, bore the kid and raise the kid 654 00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:06,660 and pay for the kids school and do whatever they have to do if 655 00:40:06,660 --> 00:40:08,220 they hit you know if they can manage. 656 00:40:09,570 --> 00:40:11,130 That's not right. That's ownerships 657 00:40:11,820 --> 00:40:14,820 like Sparta they lead ideally that some people would love to 658 00:40:14,820 --> 00:40:17,940 take all the kids you have a kid goes right to training camp, 659 00:40:18,630 --> 00:40:21,990 never sees the parents on step down maybe once a month, that'd 660 00:40:21,990 --> 00:40:22,620 be perfect. 661 00:40:22,740 --> 00:40:25,380 You put something in the newsletter, which relates to 662 00:40:25,380 --> 00:40:30,060 this, by the way, big kudos. Our friend who does the newsletter 663 00:40:30,060 --> 00:40:35,100 for the spin class place. She's She She reads our our 664 00:40:35,100 --> 00:40:37,770 newsletters, because she does a newsletter and she's a big fan 665 00:40:37,770 --> 00:40:42,150 of your newsletter. And she thought the cat stroking the 666 00:40:42,150 --> 00:40:45,540 dolphin was just about the best thing she'd ever seen. She 667 00:40:45,540 --> 00:40:48,090 thought that was just she's like, that was almost no fair. 668 00:40:48,210 --> 00:40:50,580 Just how can you top that there's nothing better than 669 00:40:50,580 --> 00:40:50,850 that. 670 00:40:53,700 --> 00:40:54,660 I spent a lot of times 671 00:40:55,470 --> 00:41:00,930 good work. Here's the Ellen Page. She's an actor. And she 672 00:41:00,930 --> 00:41:10,650 chose the Human Rights Campaign to out herself. And I had I 673 00:41:10,650 --> 00:41:13,170 didn't even know I didn't know who Ellen Page was until I saw 674 00:41:13,170 --> 00:41:15,330 the newsletter. And then I went looking for her. I'm like, Okay, 675 00:41:15,330 --> 00:41:18,960 I know who she is. So I have this this minute and a half of 676 00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:22,020 her coming out is that relevant to play in regards to what you 677 00:41:22,020 --> 00:41:24,240 wrote about her? No, play it and we'll find out. We 678 00:41:24,240 --> 00:41:29,520 took just five minutes to recognise each other's beauty 679 00:41:29,700 --> 00:41:33,810 instead of attacking each other for our differences. That's not 680 00:41:33,810 --> 00:41:37,860 hard. It's really an easier and better way to live. 681 00:41:37,950 --> 00:41:42,330 And this is exactly not what HRC and HR w are doing. They are not 682 00:41:42,330 --> 00:41:45,360 taking five minutes to look at the beauty and the rainbows and 683 00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:48,900 the unicorns, which I'm all for instead, they are yelling, Putin 684 00:41:48,900 --> 00:41:53,370 hates gays, Putin hates gays. It's not it's true. It's not 685 00:41:53,370 --> 00:41:56,250 constructive. It's just not it's not a constructive thing. 686 00:41:56,430 --> 00:42:00,390 It who says it's supposed to be she just said it. But she's an 687 00:42:00,390 --> 00:42:01,260 idiot. She's 688 00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:05,010 She's there on behalf of Human Rights Campaign. Who are the 689 00:42:05,010 --> 00:42:06,810 people yelling this? 690 00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:10,230 Yes, I know. But this just, she's the she's the 691 00:42:10,230 --> 00:42:13,410 counterbalance. It's like maybe you won't notice that they're 692 00:42:13,410 --> 00:42:16,590 doing what you just described. Oh, yeah. And they're all just a 693 00:42:16,590 --> 00:42:18,600 bunch of good people. This is a great operation. 694 00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:24,960 It saves lives. Then again, it can be the hardest thing. 695 00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:29,400 Because loving other people starts with loving ourselves and 696 00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:30,570 accepting ourselves. 697 00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:35,730 And I know many of you have struggled with this. And I draw 698 00:42:35,730 --> 00:42:39,600 upon your strength and your support in ways that you will 699 00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:48,000 never know. And I am here today because I am gay. And because 700 00:42:55,560 --> 00:43:00,150 I do want to say with 50 categories on Facebook, with big 701 00:43:00,150 --> 00:43:03,270 applause when you're outing yourself. How come when I say 702 00:43:03,270 --> 00:43:08,550 I'm by curious, which is a category on Backpage. It's a 703 00:43:08,550 --> 00:43:13,560 category on Craigslist. How come I get no one's applauding food? 704 00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:15,690 I get shouted down. 705 00:43:16,290 --> 00:43:18,930 It gets shouted down. Well, you're not Ellen Page and cutie. 706 00:43:19,500 --> 00:43:23,640 Yeah. But it's that's horrible, by the way, but by the way, she 707 00:43:23,790 --> 00:43:29,490 I've heard her before. She is so nervous. Yes, she's very well, I 708 00:43:29,490 --> 00:43:32,220 mean, she is extremely nervous may have been a big deal. I 709 00:43:32,220 --> 00:43:32,640 mean, I can 710 00:43:32,670 --> 00:43:33,630 totally and I'm sure 711 00:43:33,630 --> 00:43:35,850 it was it made a lot of people I you know, the funny thing is you 712 00:43:36,390 --> 00:43:39,810 do a lot of public speaking. Especially if you've never 713 00:43:39,810 --> 00:43:43,740 really been nervous in front of a big crowd. You will find a 714 00:43:43,740 --> 00:43:48,420 moment someplace in your in your career of talking to people and 715 00:43:48,420 --> 00:43:51,870 talking to the public where you actually get nervous. It 716 00:43:51,870 --> 00:43:56,880 happened to me once and it's extremely annoying. I got 717 00:43:56,880 --> 00:44:00,120 nervous it happened. So yeah, the only time I've ever gotten 718 00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:05,190 nervous talking in front of the city council. Really? Those 719 00:44:05,460 --> 00:44:06,090 heads? 720 00:44:07,140 --> 00:44:09,720 Yeah, that's I know. That's the joke of it. That's funny. 721 00:44:12,570 --> 00:44:14,190 Not sure why, anyway, go on. But 722 00:44:14,190 --> 00:44:17,400 I've had Yeah, of course, I've had it. I think I had it once 723 00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:22,260 with maybe it was Mick Jagger or something. Or I was interviewing 724 00:44:22,260 --> 00:44:26,310 someone and all of a sudden just fucking lost it. which had never 725 00:44:26,310 --> 00:44:32,790 happened to me before. Maybe it was Quincy Jones, but I was 726 00:44:32,790 --> 00:44:38,040 drinking then. I don't know. Anyway, the I guess the point 727 00:44:38,040 --> 00:44:41,640 that I'm saying here is there's a matrix of this NGO crap that 728 00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:46,170 is pulled all around us and I appreciate that you kind of 729 00:44:46,170 --> 00:44:49,170 broke your embargo. Although I think you held to the letter you 730 00:44:49,170 --> 00:44:53,400 didn't write anything up, but told us about this. We need to 731 00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:54,090 use it to know I 732 00:44:54,090 --> 00:44:57,270 didn't break an embargo. I would this was an oral agreement a and 733 00:44:57,270 --> 00:45:01,830 it was about writing about it. poured on it. But here's the 734 00:45:01,860 --> 00:45:05,280 here's the proviso that went in there says, You can't talk, you 735 00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:08,010 can't write about it, you can't talk about this. This is, this 736 00:45:08,010 --> 00:45:12,030 is a non This is a private event, but you can tweet about 737 00:45:12,030 --> 00:45:16,350 it. Right? So if I can tweet about it, this is me say social 738 00:45:16,350 --> 00:45:18,870 media is open gaming, this is Social Media, what we're doing. 739 00:45:19,350 --> 00:45:24,720 So I but I, regardless of how we, we break this news, the two 740 00:45:24,720 --> 00:45:28,440 things are one, we need to take advantage of this for ourselves. 741 00:45:28,440 --> 00:45:31,620 And we really need to use that. And I'm just, I am now 742 00:45:31,650 --> 00:45:36,030 officially crowning us with the title of NGO. And we need to be 743 00:45:36,030 --> 00:45:40,380 very, very vigilant. And continuously look into all of 744 00:45:40,380 --> 00:45:44,130 these operations that we have been trained to accept as the 745 00:45:44,130 --> 00:45:49,470 good guys, because they're just not. And even the good guys who 746 00:45:49,470 --> 00:45:53,070 have these good intentions, are really just misusing their 747 00:45:53,070 --> 00:45:55,650 causes to further political agenda. 748 00:45:56,190 --> 00:45:59,970 Yeah, no, in fact, this is what I claimed on the last show. 749 00:46:00,780 --> 00:46:04,680 Looking at Edelman's complete list, he first stumbled on this 750 00:46:04,710 --> 00:46:08,370 the first time he did the truth survey and started to notice it 751 00:46:08,700 --> 00:46:12,660 as a major trend. And that was 14 years ago. So governments 752 00:46:12,660 --> 00:46:15,960 themselves Yes, and he made a billion dollars doing they 753 00:46:15,960 --> 00:46:19,350 looked at that they looked at what this guy's like this, this 754 00:46:19,350 --> 00:46:24,000 character is a hotshot. And he's one of the hasn't one of the 755 00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:26,880 major public relations operations in the world. And 756 00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:30,630 when he says something like that, people take notice and 757 00:46:30,630 --> 00:46:33,180 then wishes I think the reason they want to keep a bit quiet as 758 00:46:33,180 --> 00:46:36,630 they can they take notice and literally take advantage of it. 759 00:46:37,500 --> 00:46:41,220 And he was very was trusting the NGOs. Let's just become an NGO. 760 00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:44,100 And as you just did, well, if nobody likes that, we're 761 00:46:44,100 --> 00:46:47,400 podcasters. Well, let's just become an NGO, which we can, 762 00:46:47,430 --> 00:46:50,760 yes, we are not cast as an NGO. It's a non governmental 763 00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:52,530 organisation. Yes, we are guys. 764 00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:58,410 We are an NGO by subscription. It's subscribed, please 765 00:46:58,440 --> 00:47:02,220 subscribe to my NGO on iTunes. Yes, we're an 766 00:47:02,220 --> 00:47:04,980 NGO. But no, there's no there is no right. I don't see any word 767 00:47:04,980 --> 00:47:08,070 any rule that says an NGO has to be a nonprofit charitable 768 00:47:08,070 --> 00:47:09,060 organisation. Let's 769 00:47:09,060 --> 00:47:16,050 check out the book of knowledge. Let's just see. Governmental 770 00:47:16,050 --> 00:47:19,440 organisation, I don't think you have to be a nonprofit. I don't 771 00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:23,430 think you have to have some kind of certificate. Non Governmental 772 00:47:23,430 --> 00:47:23,970 is no such 773 00:47:23,970 --> 00:47:27,870 thing is like being a reporter. You don't need to have a you 774 00:47:27,870 --> 00:47:29,670 don't need yet. You don't need a licence. 775 00:47:29,700 --> 00:47:32,940 Oh, hold on. Yeah, this is true. I think I just as it's opening 776 00:47:32,940 --> 00:47:34,680 up, and for some reason, everything's going slow today, 777 00:47:34,680 --> 00:47:38,040 here, listen to this. The term non governmental organisation, 778 00:47:38,040 --> 00:47:42,000 NGO, normally, which means not always refers to organisations 779 00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:46,500 that are neither a part of a government nor conventional for 780 00:47:46,500 --> 00:47:50,820 profit business, I'd say. Yeah, we're highly unconventional, 781 00:47:50,970 --> 00:47:56,220 usually usually set up by ordinary citizens who for to 782 00:47:56,550 --> 00:47:59,820 NGOs may be funded by governments, foundations, or 783 00:47:59,820 --> 00:48:00,870 businesses. 784 00:48:01,530 --> 00:48:04,830 Now, we don't get any we get some business support, 785 00:48:04,860 --> 00:48:09,150 some of wait some avoid formal funding altogether, and are run 786 00:48:09,150 --> 00:48:15,240 primarily by volunteers. NGOs are highly diverse group of 787 00:48:15,240 --> 00:48:18,540 organisations engage with the right wide range of activities, 788 00:48:18,900 --> 00:48:21,120 and take different forms in different parts of the world. 789 00:48:21,270 --> 00:48:24,990 Some may have charitable status, while others may be registered 790 00:48:24,990 --> 00:48:28,470 for tax exemption based on recognition or social purposes. 791 00:48:28,680 --> 00:48:31,710 Other may be fronts for political, religious or other 792 00:48:31,710 --> 00:48:38,730 interest groups. Well, that's us. A front for our rent. Yeah, 793 00:48:38,730 --> 00:48:42,600 that's what we are. The number of NGOs operating in the United 794 00:48:42,600 --> 00:48:46,620 States estimated one and a half million NGOs, one and a half 795 00:48:46,620 --> 00:48:48,810 million, and that's not nonprofits. That's one half 796 00:48:48,810 --> 00:48:52,920 million NGOs. Yeah, that's just 797 00:48:54,720 --> 00:48:58,620 outrageous. That doesn't include Russia, which has 277,000, it 798 00:48:58,620 --> 00:49:00,750 says, and those are probably mostly American, 799 00:49:01,200 --> 00:49:04,230 or American now have to be registered as foreign agents. 800 00:49:04,859 --> 00:49:05,909 Look at India, 801 00:49:06,029 --> 00:49:10,859 how are they doing? 3.3 million NGOs? What are they? How's that 802 00:49:10,859 --> 00:49:11,609 working out? 803 00:49:12,090 --> 00:49:15,360 There's just one NGO per 400 Indians. 804 00:49:16,680 --> 00:49:23,190 That should be our ratio. Wow. Yeah. Okay. So I think we fit 805 00:49:23,190 --> 00:49:26,970 the mould we can just use the is there any monitoring and control 806 00:49:27,090 --> 00:49:33,300 way to some organisation Hold on. Kofi Annan, I just didn't 807 00:49:33,300 --> 00:49:36,240 know if we have to register anywhere legal form of legal 808 00:49:36,240 --> 00:49:37,920 status, legal form of NGOs. 809 00:49:37,980 --> 00:49:41,460 We'll hold on a second. Now that I think about this, and I think 810 00:49:41,460 --> 00:49:45,960 we discussed this on a show about a year and a half ago. The 811 00:49:45,960 --> 00:49:50,400 United Nations has some sort of list of official NGOs that 812 00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:55,290 somehow promote whatever and I believe at least I tried and 813 00:49:55,290 --> 00:49:58,530 maybe you did to get to fill out the forms necessary to be 814 00:49:58,530 --> 00:50:02,010 listing listing the show As one of their approved operations, 815 00:50:02,010 --> 00:50:04,530 but it was so confusing. I think we gave up on it and then stop 816 00:50:04,530 --> 00:50:05,190 talking about it. 817 00:50:05,820 --> 00:50:09,000 Well, so here the legal status legal form of NGOs is diverse 818 00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:11,640 and depends upon homegrown variations in each country's 819 00:50:11,640 --> 00:50:15,780 laws. In practice, however, four main family groups of NGOs can 820 00:50:15,780 --> 00:50:18,360 be found worldwide unincorporated and voluntary 821 00:50:18,360 --> 00:50:22,410 association. I think that's us. We're not incorporated. And 822 00:50:22,410 --> 00:50:26,400 we're voluntary association. Trust charities and foundations 823 00:50:26,400 --> 00:50:31,590 companies not just for profit. Oh, hello. It's not just for 824 00:50:31,590 --> 00:50:37,590 profit. That's us. We're not just for profit. Exactly. We're 825 00:50:37,590 --> 00:50:39,690 for fun. comedic value. 826 00:50:39,690 --> 00:50:43,170 We're here to serve the public needs for real information. Yes. 827 00:50:43,260 --> 00:50:43,830 Value for 828 00:50:43,830 --> 00:50:47,370 value entities formed or registered under special NGO or 829 00:50:47,370 --> 00:50:51,210 nonprofit laws. Okay, we're not in that. All right. Well, we 830 00:50:51,210 --> 00:50:53,310 should probably look into that again, see if there's a list we 831 00:50:53,310 --> 00:50:58,200 can get on someone can certainly get us on a list. That's, that's 832 00:50:58,200 --> 00:51:00,660 valid. And then isn't there? Like no, I 833 00:51:00,660 --> 00:51:03,240 think we have a better shot now than we did before. Yeah. 834 00:51:03,600 --> 00:51:06,780 There's certainly there's some kind of seal or stamp of 835 00:51:06,780 --> 00:51:10,350 approval or ribbon or some banner, we can put it on our 836 00:51:10,350 --> 00:51:15,090 website that makes us official. Don't you think there's got to 837 00:51:15,090 --> 00:51:20,940 be so pack them in. That'll pack them in? Oh, they're official so 838 00:51:20,940 --> 00:51:24,120 I can listen to their show now. Well, John, thank 839 00:51:24,120 --> 00:51:27,480 you for your courage. And in the morning to you, John C. Dvorak. 840 00:51:27,810 --> 00:51:29,670 In the morning, do you Adam curry in the morning and all the 841 00:51:29,670 --> 00:51:31,260 ships and sea boots on the ground, feet in the air, 842 00:51:31,260 --> 00:51:33,600 subsequent water and all the days and nights out there. And 843 00:51:33,600 --> 00:51:33,780 to 844 00:51:33,780 --> 00:51:36,480 our artists, thank you very much for all of the wonderful work 845 00:51:36,480 --> 00:51:39,750 that you provide us with that. No agenda art generator.com 846 00:51:40,680 --> 00:51:44,430 Episode five, nine or two, Martin JJ back. And we look 847 00:51:44,430 --> 00:51:48,300 forward to seeing what happens today. And we always appreciate 848 00:51:48,300 --> 00:51:51,000 the work that our artists do for our album. Marty. 849 00:51:52,740 --> 00:51:55,950 Before you get finished in the morning, to say something about 850 00:51:55,950 --> 00:51:57,060 the art in the morning in 851 00:51:57,090 --> 00:52:03,060 the chat room, people. Oh, yeah, I've been so nice today. Is this 852 00:52:03,060 --> 00:52:06,150 is my favourite. When someone just types a whole line of z's. 853 00:52:06,540 --> 00:52:09,060 Like I guess they're bored or something about what we're 854 00:52:09,060 --> 00:52:10,950 talking about z's. Yeah. 855 00:52:10,950 --> 00:52:15,690 Oh, boy, me. Yep. So bored. 856 00:52:15,899 --> 00:52:19,499 Look at your life. Loser. You're listening to a podcast. 857 00:52:20,100 --> 00:52:23,850 I want to I want to mention something about Martin JJ and 858 00:52:23,850 --> 00:52:28,800 the art. Yeah, just to the other artists. Just I mentioned this 859 00:52:28,800 --> 00:52:31,830 about three, four months ago, I mentioned it again, I went back 860 00:52:31,830 --> 00:52:34,380 and looked at old art because I was digging up something for the 861 00:52:34,380 --> 00:52:39,120 newsletter. And I noticed that like years ago, Martin JJ was 862 00:52:39,180 --> 00:52:42,780 constantly sending stuff in. And I don't think we picked his 863 00:52:42,780 --> 00:52:47,130 stuff for two years. Because he was missing it. You know, he 864 00:52:47,130 --> 00:52:52,440 just did a little thing there a little bit. He wasn't nailing 865 00:52:52,440 --> 00:52:56,670 it. And and so this is a thing that I would do. I'm just saying 866 00:52:56,670 --> 00:52:59,220 this because I don't want to dis. I don't want to see artists 867 00:52:59,220 --> 00:53:01,740 discouraged, because we don't pick their art. 868 00:53:03,390 --> 00:53:06,540 So what you're saying is keep going out at Attaboy. Is that 869 00:53:08,250 --> 00:53:11,280 what I'm saying? I have no idea what I'm talking about trying 870 00:53:11,280 --> 00:53:14,400 and one day the gods have no agenda, the NGO might choose 871 00:53:14,400 --> 00:53:17,250 you, we might bestow you with the honour. 872 00:53:18,510 --> 00:53:20,310 Okay, yeah, pretty much. 873 00:53:20,430 --> 00:53:23,070 So the way this programme works, and the only reason why we can 874 00:53:23,070 --> 00:53:26,940 even bring up the topic of NGOs, because we're not afraid we 875 00:53:26,940 --> 00:53:31,320 don't have to pay our, our rent from the NGOs, who we have to go 876 00:53:31,320 --> 00:53:35,880 and be nice to to get a handout. We don't have to do any of that. 877 00:53:36,120 --> 00:53:38,550 We'd have to be nice to advertisers. All we have to do 878 00:53:38,550 --> 00:53:41,730 is satisfy the people who actually produce this programme. 879 00:53:41,730 --> 00:53:44,910 They are our producers, and they support us with all kinds of 880 00:53:44,910 --> 00:53:48,270 information and also financially and the top donors for each 881 00:53:48,300 --> 00:53:51,390 episode.

My hands hurts. 909 00:55:36,630 --> 00:55:39,000 Whatever. Just three the note pile everyone 910 00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:41,580 the crop brothers look forward to producing show five, nine or 911 00:55:41,580 --> 00:55:44,460 two and the 600th edition of the greatest podcast in the 912 00:55:44,460 --> 00:55:47,280 universe. We thought that Victoria Nuland segment was 913 00:55:47,280 --> 00:55:53,940 great, fantastic analysis, Mr. Dvorak. Moreover, Adam, you're 914 00:55:53,940 --> 00:55:56,820 spot on with your assessment of Facebook. Keep it up. Today's 915 00:55:56,820 --> 00:56:00,300 donation makes the crud brothers a night. We'd like to be known 916 00:56:00,300 --> 00:56:05,430 collectively as the night of 89th and bluegrass. Of course no 917 00:56:05,430 --> 00:56:07,770 crowd brothers producers ship would be complete without Adams 918 00:56:07,770 --> 00:56:13,290 patented shout out to Eleanor. I'm not quite sure what that 919 00:56:13,290 --> 00:56:14,760 time did Shout Out is 920 00:56:15,210 --> 00:56:17,340 Yeah, your patented shout out you No, 921 00:56:17,940 --> 00:56:24,780 no, no. Okay, by the way, keep thinking about a real time 922 00:56:24,780 --> 00:56:29,310 donation mechanism for those who listen to the live feed. That's 923 00:56:29,340 --> 00:56:32,580 Paul and Howard crowd, a couple of Jews from FEMA regions to and 924 00:56:32,580 --> 00:56:37,380 aid beautiful and there'll be knighted later on today. I like 925 00:56:37,380 --> 00:56:41,280 the idea of of real time donations. You know, I think you 926 00:56:41,280 --> 00:56:45,660 just cut people off while they're listening to the live 927 00:56:45,660 --> 00:56:49,140 feed, where if they say something dumb in the chat room, 928 00:56:49,140 --> 00:56:51,480 just cut them off and charge him to get back in. 929 00:56:52,169 --> 00:56:56,219 So Leo does so he doesn't charge them to get back in that's a 930 00:56:56,249 --> 00:56:57,299 that's a twist. That would 931 00:56:57,540 --> 00:57:01,320 be cool. That's like you can get an extra five bucks you can get 932 00:57:01,320 --> 00:57:03,000 an M five cheap 933 00:57:03,450 --> 00:57:08,220 to pay five bucks to get back in bounds. That's gonna cost you 10 934 00:57:09,390 --> 00:57:14,130 We really appreciate the special producer ship from the crowd 935 00:57:14,130 --> 00:57:16,500 brothers.

I think this is I guess to this dude, 944 00:58:01,530 --> 00:58:06,450 the model is value for free. I think the only thing left to do 945 00:58:06,510 --> 00:58:12,840 is to appeal to the D bags wife. I encourage everyone to like her 946 00:58:12,840 --> 00:58:18,540 Hagen Hill photography page on Facebook. At last check she has 947 00:58:18,540 --> 00:58:22,710 three she has pull a paltry three two and a 34 likes then 948 00:58:22,710 --> 00:58:27,090 maybe the cheap DBA will pony up under a new value for my wife's 949 00:58:27,090 --> 00:58:31,470 value model.

Now 1051 01:05:27,750 --> 01:05:28,650 they're selling quite 1052 01:05:28,650 --> 01:05:31,290 a few of them are there on the website on the no agenda niche? 1053 01:05:31,290 --> 01:05:31,740 Yes. 1054 01:05:32,340 --> 01:05:35,820 I have been surprised he has sent some samples out to us. He 1055 01:05:36,330 --> 01:05:39,450 He did ask me and then he said you want someone to give me a 1056 01:05:39,450 --> 01:05:41,940 couple? I mean, I don't know if you sell him I'm happy to have a 1057 01:05:41,940 --> 01:05:42,420 few. 1058 01:05:43,230 --> 01:05:45,720 And then it'd be cool to go out and then 1059 01:05:45,720 --> 01:05:50,160 he came back to the post office rejected your address. He had my 1060 01:05:50,160 --> 01:05:54,480 address from a year ago. Weird. I had so I have not actually 1061 01:05:54,480 --> 01:05:59,490 received my bags yet. No forward to it. I did receive I did 1062 01:05:59,490 --> 01:06:04,620 receive yet another healthy surprise box.

The 1067 01:06:18,720 --> 01:06:31,890 freshly wild kale joy with must eat mesquite. And it's almost 1068 01:06:31,890 --> 01:06:36,030 like the Lord is messing with me. Because then NPR has some 1069 01:06:36,030 --> 01:06:39,150 deal with Ted which I think ruins both brands quite 1070 01:06:39,150 --> 01:06:42,300 honestly. ted.npr.org 1071 01:06:42,690 --> 01:06:45,870 and they have really tipped on NPR news to me. Oh 1072 01:06:45,870 --> 01:06:49,800 yeah, no. So they had this whole show a whole Ted show where 1073 01:06:49,800 --> 01:06:53,130 they're playing little snippets including Dr. Terry walls. I 1074 01:06:53,130 --> 01:06:56,340 started with greens because their greens. By the way, can we 1075 01:06:56,340 --> 01:07:02,220 stop? This is almost as bad as veggies. Greens. You find greens 1076 01:07:02,220 --> 01:07:04,170 to universally mean the same thing. 1077 01:07:06,900 --> 01:07:10,590 I hate veggies. I started I like vegetable. I like the vegetables 1078 01:07:10,590 --> 01:07:12,720 but I hate the term veggies 1079 01:07:12,750 --> 01:07:15,660 green creepy. Yeah, but greens. That's okay. Greens, they 1080 01:07:15,660 --> 01:07:19,740 get some greens. Like that sounds like a pill. Hey, you got 1081 01:07:19,740 --> 01:07:22,410 some greens. Yeah, I got some greens. I got some blues. I got 1082 01:07:22,410 --> 01:07:23,850 some I got some crosstalk 1083 01:07:25,080 --> 01:07:29,070 with greens because they are rich in B vitamins, vitamins a 1084 01:07:29,070 --> 01:07:33,510 c, K and minerals. And those are two types of kale. Kale has the 1085 01:07:33,510 --> 01:07:35,040 most nutrition per calorie, 1086 01:07:35,160 --> 01:07:37,440 the most nutrition per calorie, John. 1087 01:07:38,880 --> 01:07:41,130 That's gotta be that's what does that even mean? I don't 1088 01:07:41,130 --> 01:07:43,200 know of any plant of any plant. 1089 01:07:45,690 --> 01:07:47,550 I find that hard to believe, by the way. 1090 01:07:47,850 --> 01:07:50,970 So do I but it's on TED. It's an NGO 1091 01:07:50,970 --> 01:07:54,810 brassica cabbage. It's a form of cabbage. By the way, Ted is 1092 01:07:54,810 --> 01:07:59,370 kind of they have NGO status as well. Somehow, you know what I 1093 01:07:59,370 --> 01:08:02,340 mean? I'm not quite sure how they did it, because they are 1094 01:08:02,430 --> 01:08:05,520 very commercial, but they have some kind of that's why that's 1095 01:08:05,520 --> 01:08:07,200 why Ted NPR it's 1096 01:08:07,200 --> 01:08:10,470 it's Bucha types of kale. Kale has the most nutrition per 1097 01:08:10,470 --> 01:08:14,640 calorie of any plant. The B vitamins will protect your brain 1098 01:08:14,640 --> 01:08:18,420 cells and your mitochondria. Vitamins A and C support your 1099 01:08:18,420 --> 01:08:22,470 immune cells. Vitamin K keeps your blood vessels and bones 1100 01:08:22,470 --> 01:08:26,550 healthy and minerals are cofactors for hundreds of 1101 01:08:26,550 --> 01:08:28,080 different enzymes in your body. 1102 01:08:28,500 --> 01:08:29,790 Why is she shouting? 1103 01:08:30,029 --> 01:08:33,989 Well because she's programming you know have more kale. Now 1104 01:08:33,989 --> 01:08:42,689 when I heard that not eat more kale. But have more kale. I felt 1105 01:08:42,689 --> 01:08:43,679 it was time for this. 1106 01:08:43,710 --> 01:08:48,960 So have more kale have more kale, have more kale, have more 1107 01:08:48,960 --> 01:08:51,990 kale, have more kale have more kale, 1108 01:08:51,990 --> 01:09:02,670 you you you you have more kale, you will obey 1109 01:09:02,730 --> 01:09:07,530 I think that's working well. Or kale, so you 1110 01:09:07,529 --> 01:09:12,479 went to the couple's thing and then you came back 1111 01:09:13,080 --> 01:09:15,090 and I made this and you felt the 1112 01:09:15,420 --> 01:09:17,580 obligation to produce a clip. 1113 01:09:19,109 --> 01:09:21,119 I thought it worked. I like this. 1114 01:09:21,779 --> 01:09:26,489 It's just okay. You guys are amazing. Exactly. 1115 01:09:30,120 --> 01:09:32,700 All right, well I'm going to disprove that that thesis so 1116 01:09:32,760 --> 01:09:36,690 of the were amazing or kale is the most nutritious kale is 1117 01:09:36,690 --> 01:09:40,740 number one on the list. You know I before I never really went 1118 01:09:40,740 --> 01:09:43,890 into in great depth, but this whole thing started in England, 1119 01:09:44,340 --> 01:09:47,190 but with one public relations company that was hired by some 1120 01:09:47,190 --> 01:09:50,610 kale growers, who are apparently couldn't sell the stuff usually 1121 01:09:50,610 --> 01:09:54,480 because it's Gosh, awful. You can make it edible but you have 1122 01:09:54,480 --> 01:09:56,490 to actually go out of your way. It's not like something that's 1123 01:09:56,490 --> 01:10:00,240 naturally tasty. It's you know, if you beat it up and go Looking 1124 01:10:00,240 --> 01:10:03,570 at bacon fat and you smell and put a lot of nuts in it, and 1125 01:10:03,570 --> 01:10:07,110 then you really do first you got to parboil it to beat it beat it 1126 01:10:07,110 --> 01:10:09,450 up so you can actually chew it then you cook in bacon fat and 1127 01:10:09,450 --> 01:10:13,860 you get this bacon a greasy gobbly goo, or fry it, deep fat 1128 01:10:13,860 --> 01:10:17,010 fry it. So it's like a crunchy potato chip. You can choke it 1129 01:10:17,010 --> 01:10:20,970 down. So these guys in England have done everything they can to 1130 01:10:20,970 --> 01:10:24,720 promote kale as this bogus superfood and this the word they 1131 01:10:24,720 --> 01:10:28,470 used, and in fact it's taken off I mean, it says your public 1132 01:10:28,470 --> 01:10:29,640 relations does it says it 1133 01:10:29,640 --> 01:10:33,600 right here on this kale Joy freshly wild superfoods is the 1134 01:10:33,600 --> 01:10:39,570 name of the company. We need to be the no agenda, non 1135 01:10:39,570 --> 01:10:42,690 governmental organisation superdense be a super food. I 1136 01:10:42,690 --> 01:10:47,430 think we can be a super food, super food on the brain. We are 1137 01:10:47,580 --> 01:10:52,650 the no agenda, non governmental 100% natural antioxidant rich 1138 01:10:52,680 --> 01:10:57,360 Omega three and four vegan gluten free, dairy free, non GMO 1139 01:10:57,360 --> 01:11:00,780 super food podcast with no trans fats. 1140 01:11:01,740 --> 01:11:07,560 It's a mouthful. Okay, so you have so the kale tastes like 1141 01:11:07,560 --> 01:11:10,230 crap is what you're trying to say. It's really bad. It's just 1142 01:11:10,230 --> 01:11:15,210 horrible. Now, I have not had, I've cooked at once using view I 1143 01:11:15,210 --> 01:11:17,160 have a lot of recipes I'm accumulating and I want to 1144 01:11:17,160 --> 01:11:19,380 remind people if they haven't recipe for Kale, that's a little 1145 01:11:19,380 --> 01:11:23,250 offbeat to put the subject line kale and send me an email with 1146 01:11:23,250 --> 01:11:25,890 it with the recipe. I don't want just a copy of something from 1147 01:11:25,890 --> 01:11:29,490 food.com to divorce. You know, Jonathan horik.org, it's not 1148 01:11:29,490 --> 01:11:33,930 that hard to find my email. And I'll put a little no agenda book 1149 01:11:33,930 --> 01:11:36,270 together. At some point. When I have enough of these recipes. I 1150 01:11:36,270 --> 01:11:39,270 should be able to cut and paste something pretty quickly. But 1151 01:11:39,270 --> 01:11:43,080 most of these recipes are the same. You parboil the kale, five 1152 01:11:43,080 --> 01:11:45,990 minutes, so you can beat it up a little bit. Take all the stringy 1153 01:11:46,020 --> 01:11:50,670 stems and stuff out. And then you cook it in bacon fat, you 1154 01:11:50,670 --> 01:11:53,160 know, as much and with bacon chips in there, maybe throw in 1155 01:11:53,160 --> 01:11:57,390 some walnuts and then and then choke it down was still warm. 1156 01:11:59,580 --> 01:12:01,290 She said, salt and 1157 01:12:01,290 --> 01:12:06,990 pepper. That's it. Yeah. All right. Onward. Onward. Onward. 1158 01:12:06,990 --> 01:12:10,020 I got an interesting email from one of our producers, who was 1159 01:12:10,020 --> 01:12:12,990 very familiar with the drone campaign. This relates to the 1160 01:12:13,740 --> 01:12:19,740 $250 million WordPress blog from the PR drive my car and Glenn 1161 01:12:19,740 --> 01:12:24,780 Greenwald, oh, Raph. And Laura Poydras. Oh, by the way, before 1162 01:12:24,780 --> 01:12:29,910 I even mentioned that I got a nice little note that James and 1163 01:12:29,910 --> 01:12:35,160 Patricia portress donated $20 million to the Institute for 1164 01:12:35,160 --> 01:12:38,820 Brain Research at MIT a couple of years back. I didn't know 1165 01:12:38,820 --> 01:12:40,680 that Laura Poitras came from money. 1166 01:12:41,400 --> 01:12:44,400 That seemed if you can throw money at just a research 1167 01:12:44,400 --> 01:12:47,520 operation to the tune of 20 million, that means you've got a 1168 01:12:47,520 --> 01:12:48,270 lot of money. 1169 01:12:48,750 --> 01:12:52,380 And here's what was in and it's family money it's from from his 1170 01:12:52,380 --> 01:12:53,430 parents. Oh, yeah. She's 1171 01:12:53,430 --> 01:12:54,690 loaded. Yes. A rich girl. 1172 01:12:54,720 --> 01:12:59,370 Yes, she is. But what's interesting, after hearing Bob, 1173 01:12:59,370 --> 01:13:02,520 we talked with Pat and over a dinner and we realised we could 1174 01:13:02,520 --> 01:13:05,880 help make this happen fascinate hope to the poor just has have 1175 01:13:05,880 --> 01:13:08,580 committed $20 million support research of major depression, 1176 01:13:08,580 --> 01:13:12,420 bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and other psychiatric disorders 1177 01:13:12,420 --> 01:13:18,750 at the centre. And they say one of the reasons is that we were 1178 01:13:18,750 --> 01:13:22,710 happy to do this as one of our own daughters was diagnosed with 1179 01:13:22,710 --> 01:13:30,960 bipolar disease. Now they don't say which one? Oh, really? Uh 1180 01:13:30,960 --> 01:13:35,100 Huh. Interesting, huh? Yeah, 1181 01:13:35,130 --> 01:13:41,130 I wonder if it's Laura. It could be could be she you know, she 1182 01:13:41,160 --> 01:13:44,970 the way she acts? I mean, that that would explain a lot of the 1183 01:13:45,000 --> 01:13:47,880 word nasil she goes through when she comes through the border the 1184 01:13:47,910 --> 01:13:51,480 cross the border, you're you're pretty on the verge of having a 1185 01:13:51,510 --> 01:13:55,260 nervous breakdown. Anyway, proceeds anyway. Yeah. And you 1186 01:13:55,260 --> 01:13:58,470 come in you're a little uptight and say the guy says ask you a 1187 01:13:58,470 --> 01:13:59,250 question and you 1188 01:13:59,700 --> 01:14:02,640 write little well, I'm not doing anything what what 1189 01:14:03,510 --> 01:14:09,000 are you know, she snaps at him. If you snap at one of these guys 1190 01:14:09,150 --> 01:14:12,420 with a snide comments, something that bipolar person might do, 1191 01:14:12,840 --> 01:14:15,720 you know, just as a meet some mean sort of boy you're you're 1192 01:14:15,720 --> 01:14:20,040 in lockup for hours. Oh, yeah, that's not really lock up. 1193 01:14:20,040 --> 01:14:22,290 You're in a closet, but or a room. 1194 01:14:22,590 --> 01:14:27,660 So anyway, this, this, this huge, well funded venture cranks 1195 01:14:27,660 --> 01:14:31,710 out one bullcrap drone story. Let me just read what our 1196 01:14:31,710 --> 01:14:35,370 producer Matt says, hey, you know switching SIM cards does 1197 01:14:35,370 --> 01:14:39,540 make sense, but not with drones. When I was in Afghanistan, high 1198 01:14:39,540 --> 01:14:42,810 level targets would give their SAT phones to low level idiots. 1199 01:14:42,900 --> 01:14:45,180 The idiot would be given a message to read over the phone 1200 01:14:45,180 --> 01:14:47,430 so they would be targeted and not the high level guy. Yes. 1201 01:14:47,430 --> 01:14:51,150 Seems that makes sense to me too. By the way. Since 2004, the 1202 01:14:51,150 --> 01:14:53,730 US is using newer technology that allows them to clone 1203 01:14:53,730 --> 01:14:56,940 captured SIM cards. Often a group of suspects will be 1204 01:14:56,940 --> 01:14:59,970 stopped and blindfolded all the phones will be taken SIM cards 1205 01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:03,090 clone then returned to the people originally would take 1206 01:15:03,090 --> 01:15:06,540 hours to triangulate a person then it would only give you a 1207 01:15:06,540 --> 01:15:10,170 general area with the newer stuff. The Clone sibs, it took 1208 01:15:10,170 --> 01:15:13,680 15 to 20 minutes to pinpoint a specific building. They caught 1209 01:15:13,680 --> 01:15:16,020 on to this and would give their SIM cards to nobodies are 1210 01:15:16,020 --> 01:15:18,900 idiots. So they would be thrown off this switch of SIM cards 1211 01:15:18,900 --> 01:15:21,900 only make sense when they are boots on the ground to throw 1212 01:15:21,900 --> 01:15:24,990 them off. If they capture a nobody, then they will release 1213 01:15:24,990 --> 01:15:27,060 them switching SIM cards doesn't make any sense or they're being 1214 01:15:27,060 --> 01:15:30,000 drone, they would just switch the SIM cards again. Matt says 1215 01:15:30,000 --> 01:15:32,820 this is total bull crap. And it's also not the way it works. 1216 01:15:32,820 --> 01:15:36,000 There is real boots on the ground for a lot of these 1217 01:15:36,000 --> 01:15:39,840 drownings. But as I was thinking about this and the Poydras 1218 01:15:39,840 --> 01:15:42,240 thing, and really our conversation, and I kind of I 1219 01:15:42,240 --> 01:15:47,310 think I misunderstood you on a Thursday show where we were just 1220 01:15:47,310 --> 01:15:50,790 in completely different vibes about what this thing is. And I 1221 01:15:50,790 --> 01:15:53,070 think you were looking at it from a journalistic standpoint 1222 01:15:53,070 --> 01:15:57,870 of this is what you come up with. I think maybe that's Am I 1223 01:15:57,870 --> 01:16:01,050 categorising that right where you just saw this blog and went 1224 01:16:01,050 --> 01:16:01,560 what, 1225 01:16:02,700 --> 01:16:06,120 but that's what I did. I don't know what you you were, I don't 1226 01:16:06,120 --> 01:16:07,110 know what you were talking about? 1227 01:16:07,170 --> 01:16:11,040 Well, what I was talking about is what what is the journalistic 1228 01:16:11,040 --> 01:16:14,220 side, but I think a lot of journalists, yourself included 1229 01:16:14,340 --> 01:16:17,430 as you're in a more in a milieu of writers and journalists than 1230 01:16:17,430 --> 01:16:20,520 I am. I mean, I didn't get the invite to Edelman and told to 1231 01:16:20,520 --> 01:16:23,760 not, you know, not write about it. You know, I don't hang out 1232 01:16:23,760 --> 01:16:27,360 with John Markoff. Okay, so I think you're more in that 1233 01:16:27,360 --> 01:16:31,560 milieu. And I think there's a lot of like, like, like, poets, 1234 01:16:31,560 --> 01:16:34,080 you know, you sit around grousing about the other guy. 1235 01:16:34,830 --> 01:16:37,170 Yeah, look at these assholes. That's what they came up with. 1236 01:16:38,010 --> 01:16:38,610 Can I be a little 1237 01:16:38,610 --> 01:16:40,980 rough? There's an element of that element of it. Okay. What's 1238 01:16:40,980 --> 01:16:43,290 the milieu like you said, it's exactly what it is. 1239 01:16:43,679 --> 01:16:48,209 So I'm looking at this Greenwald thing is, it hit me the other 1240 01:16:48,209 --> 01:16:51,659 day? He is just and you 1241 01:16:51,660 --> 01:16:56,040 say, did you come up with a new name for him? Did you say green 1242 01:16:56,040 --> 01:16:56,550 ball? 1243 01:16:57,390 --> 01:17:04,980 Yes. green ball. Glenn Greenwald? Glenn Greenwald. He 1244 01:17:04,980 --> 01:17:10,320 is just a, it's a new of a new cog in the wheel of the military 1245 01:17:10,320 --> 01:17:16,410 industrial complex. And I say this, because if you look at the 1246 01:17:16,410 --> 01:17:20,850 intelligence community, there's about 16 different agencies. And 1247 01:17:20,850 --> 01:17:23,460 we've identified we've probably identified maybe 12 of them, I 1248 01:17:23,460 --> 01:17:26,280 think we can identify, but they're right down to the 1249 01:17:26,280 --> 01:17:31,050 spinia. Are our friends special? Our friend's girlfriend, special 1250 01:17:31,050 --> 01:17:34,410 area in the State Department. I mean, there's all this all these 1251 01:17:34,410 --> 01:17:38,490 little everybody's got an intelligence units, right? Yep. 1252 01:17:39,150 --> 01:17:43,440 Now, if you look at it all, but one of them are related to one 1253 01:17:43,440 --> 01:17:46,350 way or the other, the Pentagon or the Department of Defence, 1254 01:17:46,950 --> 01:17:50,430 only one of them is a civilian agency. And that's the CIA. 1255 01:17:52,590 --> 01:17:53,340 Exactly. 1256 01:17:53,760 --> 01:17:56,790 So they so they really are outsiders, we have no idea what 1257 01:17:56,790 --> 01:18:01,350 their budget is. They, of course, really do run the wet 1258 01:18:01,350 --> 01:18:04,230 operations. They do kill people, they're doing the real work. And 1259 01:18:04,230 --> 01:18:09,240 I think what happened is that we started this military industrial 1260 01:18:09,240 --> 01:18:14,730 complex, in the 60s is really when, when we were warned about 1261 01:18:14,730 --> 01:18:20,700 it. And I believe that what we're looking at right now is 1262 01:18:20,730 --> 01:18:25,590 including Glenn greenwall, green ball is, is just this whole 1263 01:18:25,590 --> 01:18:31,350 thing is spinning apart, because we're withdrawing from portions 1264 01:18:31,350 --> 01:18:33,750 of the Middle East, you know, so what do we have to do we want to 1265 01:18:33,750 --> 01:18:38,460 keep it's like 60, or 70, or $80 billion a year at least, that 1266 01:18:38,460 --> 01:18:41,670 goes around with all the contractors, right? It's not 1267 01:18:41,790 --> 01:18:44,520 Edward Snowden did not work for the NSA, he worked for Booz 1268 01:18:44,520 --> 01:18:48,420 Allen Hamilton. Now these and those guys have six, seven $8 1269 01:18:48,420 --> 01:18:53,070 billion worth of contract by themselves. So this is a huge 1270 01:18:53,070 --> 01:18:55,650 thing that has to keep going. And the only way to keep this 1271 01:18:55,650 --> 01:18:57,810 going. Of course, we point this out all the time on the show, 1272 01:18:58,020 --> 01:19:01,350 the only way to keep this going is to keep people afraid of now 1273 01:19:01,350 --> 01:19:04,800 the terror is coming to the homeland. He'll be very worried 1274 01:19:04,800 --> 01:19:09,330 about about all of this. And I found some numbers and I found 1275 01:19:09,330 --> 01:19:11,070 it in go ahead. 1276 01:19:11,309 --> 01:19:14,429 Before you get those numbers. I want to throw something in and 1277 01:19:14,429 --> 01:19:19,079 what you just said, just for the listeners as an aside to people 1278 01:19:19,079 --> 01:19:22,439 who promote this idea that you should just be sitting in your 1279 01:19:22,439 --> 01:19:26,759 house watching television, afraid of your own shadow, need 1280 01:19:26,759 --> 01:19:31,319 to be you have when you see somebody doing that to you. And 1281 01:19:31,319 --> 01:19:33,599 if they're a politician or anything else, you should either 1282 01:19:33,599 --> 01:19:36,269 call them on it or vote them out of office. These people are evil 1283 01:19:36,329 --> 01:19:36,959 Anyway, go on. 1284 01:19:37,710 --> 01:19:41,670 Well, I did something that we we tend to do from time to time. 1285 01:19:42,150 --> 01:19:44,730 And in fact that did that in the start of the show. But I went 1286 01:19:44,730 --> 01:19:48,510 back and I listened to the relevant portion of Eisenhower's 1287 01:19:48,510 --> 01:19:53,010 farewell farewell speech where he specifically talks about the 1288 01:19:53,010 --> 01:19:57,420 military industrial complex and warns us for it. And there were 1289 01:19:57,420 --> 01:20:00,750 a couple things and it's only a minute and 50 cents. As you 1290 01:20:00,750 --> 01:20:03,690 know, I've cut down all the bits and pieces. And this is kind of 1291 01:20:03,690 --> 01:20:05,940 nice. It's a dramatised version, John's little bit of music in 1292 01:20:05,940 --> 01:20:09,750 there. I think we should listen again, to what he actually told 1293 01:20:09,750 --> 01:20:13,020 us and what he actually said and look at some of the numbers that 1294 01:20:13,020 --> 01:20:15,750 he's talking about in 1961. 1295 01:20:16,200 --> 01:20:19,530 Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States. 1296 01:20:19,920 --> 01:20:23,880 Good evening, my fellow Americans, we now stand 10 years 1297 01:20:23,880 --> 01:20:28,380 past the midpoint of a century, that is witness for major wars 1298 01:20:28,410 --> 01:20:29,700 among great nations. 1299 01:20:32,220 --> 01:20:37,920 I love the little piano but it makes it makes it more more 1300 01:20:37,920 --> 01:20:38,610 dramatic. 1301 01:20:39,660 --> 01:20:41,040 I'll see what comes out 1302 01:20:41,070 --> 01:20:44,880 the latest of our world conflicts. The United States had 1303 01:20:44,880 --> 01:20:50,400 no armaments industry, American makers of Ploughshares could 1304 01:20:51,060 --> 01:20:54,540 with time and as required make swords as well. 1305 01:20:54,810 --> 01:20:58,320 Now I had to look this up, but I hadn't had to like what the heck 1306 01:20:58,320 --> 01:21:02,760 is the President talking about? I Ploughshares and swords. 1307 01:21:04,500 --> 01:21:09,780 Swords to Ploughshares, is a term used apparently, before I 1308 01:21:09,780 --> 01:21:13,920 was born, is the concept in which military weapons or 1309 01:21:13,920 --> 01:21:17,940 technologies are converted to peaceful civilian applications? 1310 01:21:18,360 --> 01:21:20,910 And what Eisenhower says in this speech and this is there was a 1311 01:21:20,910 --> 01:21:24,060 televised speech and he's he's saying be careful people, the 1312 01:21:24,060 --> 01:21:28,200 people the the American Ploughshares. So this is the our 1313 01:21:28,200 --> 01:21:33,270 civilian industry can actually reverse the process and start to 1314 01:21:33,270 --> 01:21:37,440 make swords, which of course is exactly what happened. All of 1315 01:21:37,440 --> 01:21:40,890 our you know, our aircraft, our vehicle industry, our weapons 1316 01:21:40,890 --> 01:21:44,820 industry, we're just making like little shot guns and and cars to 1317 01:21:44,820 --> 01:21:49,290 tootle around in and planes to fly and bombs and fighters and 1318 01:21:49,290 --> 01:21:53,460 tanks. So yes, he was correct in his assumption. And before this, 1319 01:21:53,460 --> 01:21:55,830 he said we had never had this in the United States. 1320 01:21:56,760 --> 01:22:00,240 But we can no longer risky emergency improvisation of 1321 01:22:00,240 --> 01:22:04,830 National Defence. We have been compelled to create a permanent 1322 01:22:04,860 --> 01:22:09,390 armaments industry of vast proportions. Added do this, 1323 01:22:09,750 --> 01:22:14,100 three and a half million men and women are directly engaged in 1324 01:22:14,100 --> 01:22:16,200 the defence establishment. All right. 1325 01:22:17,430 --> 01:22:24,780 Three and a half million men and women in 1961. I got the 1960 1326 01:22:24,780 --> 01:22:32,190 census at that time, there were 179,323,175 people in America, 1327 01:22:32,760 --> 01:22:35,130 right, roughly half the population we have today. 1328 01:22:35,160 --> 01:22:38,910 So if I don't know if it's fair to do this, but can we then say 1329 01:22:38,910 --> 01:22:41,790 that by today's numbers that will be 7 million people in 1330 01:22:41,790 --> 01:22:45,360 total? Yeah, I think that would be fair. And I I would wager 1331 01:22:45,360 --> 01:22:47,190 it's a lot higher than that right now. 1332 01:22:47,220 --> 01:22:48,510 Oh, I thought you had the number. 1333 01:22:49,200 --> 01:22:50,700 We don't have that number 1334 01:22:51,180 --> 01:22:54,660 a bitches more? Or what it would be but it's not seven. 1335 01:22:55,170 --> 01:22:59,010 But why don't you look that up? Now this way of looking that up? 1336 01:22:59,100 --> 01:23:00,720 Thank you. Yes, I can let me 1337 01:23:01,380 --> 01:23:04,380 try it. You try to give it a shot. But hold on. I'm gonna 1338 01:23:04,380 --> 01:23:06,780 rewind just a little bit. He said some more interesting stuff 1339 01:23:06,780 --> 01:23:07,830 here. Do this 1340 01:23:07,860 --> 01:23:11,550 keep going. Three and a half million men and women are 1341 01:23:11,550 --> 01:23:15,360 directly engaged in the defence establishment. Now this 1342 01:23:15,360 --> 01:23:18,450 conjunction of an immense military establishment and a 1343 01:23:18,450 --> 01:23:23,970 large arms industry is new in the American experience. That 1344 01:23:23,970 --> 01:23:29,250 total influence, economic, political, even spiritual, is 1345 01:23:29,250 --> 01:23:33,000 felt in every city, every state house every office of the 1346 01:23:33,000 --> 01:23:37,020 federal government, we recognise the imperative need for this 1347 01:23:37,020 --> 01:23:41,970 development. Yet we must not fail to comprehend its grave 1348 01:23:42,000 --> 01:23:46,860 implications. Our toil, resources and livelihood are all 1349 01:23:46,860 --> 01:23:52,200 involved. So is the very structure of our society and the 1350 01:23:52,200 --> 01:23:56,430 council's of government, we must guard against the acquisition of 1351 01:23:56,430 --> 01:24:00,300 unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the 1352 01:24:00,300 --> 01:24:05,310 military industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous 1353 01:24:05,310 --> 01:24:10,890 rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. We must never 1354 01:24:10,890 --> 01:24:13,410 let the weight of this combination endanger our 1355 01:24:13,410 --> 01:24:16,950 liberties or democratic processes. We should take 1356 01:24:16,950 --> 01:24:21,060 nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable 1357 01:24:21,060 --> 01:24:26,280 citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial 1358 01:24:26,280 --> 01:24:29,730 and military machinery of defence with our peaceful 1359 01:24:29,760 --> 01:24:34,440 methods and goals so that security and liberty may prosper 1360 01:24:34,470 --> 01:24:34,920 together. 1361 01:24:35,070 --> 01:24:38,370 Now, I didn't know that he had said so that security and 1362 01:24:38,370 --> 01:24:41,700 liberty may prosper together. Because that is pretty much the 1363 01:24:41,700 --> 01:24:45,030 only piece from this entire speech which is left over and is 1364 01:24:45,030 --> 01:24:48,450 continuously abused by politicians saying we need to 1365 01:24:48,450 --> 01:24:52,440 find the balance between security and liberty which of 1366 01:24:52,440 --> 01:24:57,150 course the President recently took to a new extreme by saying 1367 01:24:58,020 --> 01:25:02,880 security and your freedom that is this you say your, your 1368 01:25:02,880 --> 01:25:05,670 freedom or your liberty. Liberty, not even liberty. 1369 01:25:05,850 --> 01:25:12,630 Liberty, your liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Yeah. But but the we 1370 01:25:12,630 --> 01:25:16,290 are there, this has now happened and I think that it's good to 1371 01:25:16,290 --> 01:25:21,030 revisit from time to time. This is now what is it 40 years 1372 01:25:21,030 --> 01:25:24,120 later? What are we 50 years later? Where are we? Yeah, 50 1373 01:25:24,120 --> 01:25:25,650 years later here we are. 1374 01:25:26,790 --> 01:25:29,520 And it's gotten the number appears to be about the 1375 01:25:29,520 --> 01:25:32,970 extrapolation was 7,000,006 1376 01:25:32,970 --> 01:25:36,330 Actually, that can't be that makes no sense. We have 2 1377 01:25:36,330 --> 01:25:41,490 million people with classified status alone. This is all 1378 01:25:41,550 --> 01:25:45,750 specifically the defence anything hooked directly to the 1379 01:25:45,750 --> 01:25:49,800 defence department and the Ennis industries must be a lot more 1380 01:25:49,800 --> 01:25:54,090 robots Well, I think there's a they're taking a lot more money 1381 01:25:54,090 --> 01:25:59,430 at the top I think I don't know what after the War World War Two 1382 01:25:59,430 --> 01:26:01,860 I think they're pretty much fully staffed i don't i don't 1383 01:26:01,860 --> 01:26:03,690 know I'm just telling you this what I only number I can come up 1384 01:26:03,690 --> 01:26:06,360 with like I can keep digging I'm not gonna do it for today. No, 1385 01:26:06,360 --> 01:26:09,840 no sir.

Yes, it has its own name popping 1423 01:28:49,980 --> 01:28:54,120 up all over social media. Here a couple of them to know each and 1424 01:28:54,120 --> 01:28:57,270 athletes. Can you use their heads and put them together to 1425 01:28:57,270 --> 01:29:00,540 wish a happy Valentine's Day? How about American slopestyle 1426 01:29:00,540 --> 01:29:04,410 skier Nick gapper making swift work of his bronze medal fame, 1427 01:29:04,590 --> 01:29:09,090 tweeting a Valentine to Yes. Taylor Swift. On Instagram Team 1428 01:29:09,090 --> 01:29:12,270 USA writer Jamie Anderson won gold this week and slopestyle 1429 01:29:12,270 --> 01:29:15,630 but first she tore up a little fresh powder with some of her 1430 01:29:15,630 --> 01:29:20,370 friends and American alpine skier. Julia min Cousteau lit up 1431 01:29:20,370 --> 01:29:22,800 Instagram with this cool kind of artist. Why are 1432 01:29:22,800 --> 01:29:24,210 you hurting me with this? 1433 01:29:24,900 --> 01:29:26,880 Yes, indeed, the twin flame 1434 01:29:26,910 --> 01:29:30,840 on the opening ceremony. A look at the metal count shows host 1435 01:29:30,840 --> 01:29:33,900 nation Russia is in the lead with the United States and the 1436 01:29:33,900 --> 01:29:38,070 Netherlands. Not far behind Germany and Norway also in the 1437 01:29:38,070 --> 01:29:41,820 mix. But you ask who's winning the social conversation around 1438 01:29:41,820 --> 01:29:42,210 these wins? 1439 01:29:42,240 --> 01:29:43,200 I'm asking 1440 01:29:43,830 --> 01:29:45,840 the social conversation. 1441 01:29:47,520 --> 01:29:50,970 But wait, but wait, Adam, you're asking who's winning the social? 1442 01:29:51,000 --> 01:29:54,570 I'm not asking this. Why does this guy assume that I give a 1443 01:29:54,570 --> 01:29:54,930 crap. 1444 01:29:55,530 --> 01:29:58,440 I'm very interested in who's winning the social conversation 1445 01:29:58,620 --> 01:29:59,970 as a digital prophet. 1446 01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:03,630 In the mix button us who's winning the social conversation 1447 01:30:03,630 --> 01:30:03,840 now? 1448 01:30:03,870 --> 01:30:08,220 No, this is I know who's asking this, the advertisers. They're 1449 01:30:08,220 --> 01:30:10,980 saying, Hey, who's winning the social conversation? Because I 1450 01:30:10,980 --> 01:30:13,770 want to advertise there. This guy's talking to the advertisers 1451 01:30:13,770 --> 01:30:14,100 that's 1452 01:30:14,580 --> 01:30:17,730 winning the social conversation around these Winter Games. Well, 1453 01:30:17,940 --> 01:30:20,970 Facebook tells us the US is clearly in the league with posts 1454 01:30:20,970 --> 01:30:24,720 likes and updates. Topic number one is figure skating. The 1455 01:30:24,720 --> 01:30:26,820 United States though, if you look, the map does have some 1456 01:30:26,820 --> 01:30:30,150 pretty decent competition. from Great Britain and from Canada. 1457 01:30:30,150 --> 01:30:34,290 Great Britain's topic of choice is snowboarding. But the big 1458 01:30:34,290 --> 01:30:38,250 surprise as you look here is that the Philippines ranks sixth 1459 01:30:38,310 --> 01:30:41,700 in the Olympic Facebook conversation that Michael 1460 01:30:41,700 --> 01:30:45,390 Martinez is the country's first ever winter Olympian, and no 1461 01:30:45,390 --> 01:30:48,480 surprise, it's his sport. That is Topic number one. 1462 01:30:49,230 --> 01:30:52,260 Really, this was completely unnecessary. 1463 01:30:52,470 --> 01:30:57,480 This is on on NBC there. This is a major cancer. This is dumb. 1464 01:30:58,260 --> 01:31:01,020 Well placed the part two of it to see how dumb it really is. 1465 01:31:01,710 --> 01:31:04,620 Well, what did How do you Oh, there's a there's a second part 1466 01:31:05,820 --> 01:31:08,910 of competent report edition and billions of kilobytes of online 1467 01:31:08,910 --> 01:31:10,950 chatter. We were wondering who billions 1468 01:31:10,950 --> 01:31:15,390 of kilobytes of online chatter Hold on a second. I gotta write 1469 01:31:15,390 --> 01:31:18,810 that down. I got billions of kilobytes of online chatter for 1470 01:31:18,810 --> 01:31:20,220 you babe. Right here. My pants gained 1471 01:31:20,220 --> 01:31:23,010 the most traction on the web. Well, Yahoo looked at the 1472 01:31:23,010 --> 01:31:25,620 athletes who inspired the biggest overnight spike in 1473 01:31:25,620 --> 01:31:29,400 searches. So who's number one? Is it Shawn white? Not him 1474 01:31:29,400 --> 01:31:32,880 believe it or not Gracie gold? No. Could be her next week. But 1475 01:31:32,880 --> 01:31:37,110 right now it's sage Katzenberg, his name saw the biggest spike 1476 01:31:37,110 --> 01:31:39,960 in Yahoo searches. He's gone from the virtual unknown now to 1477 01:31:40,170 --> 01:31:43,440 do they have graphics and charts to go with this and like Arrow 1478 01:31:43,440 --> 01:31:43,740 Yeah. 1479 01:31:46,350 --> 01:31:48,870 Oh, yeah, this is loaded to the gills with graphics. 1480 01:31:50,490 --> 01:31:53,790 Maps, Katzenberg brought his followers along for the ride, 1481 01:31:53,970 --> 01:31:56,880 tweeting throughout his winning day and afterward, getting love 1482 01:31:56,880 --> 01:32:00,390 from all over the world, including this tweet from Kobe 1483 01:32:00,420 --> 01:32:04,050 Bryant. Wow. Let's leave it tonight with one last word from 1484 01:32:04,050 --> 01:32:07,290 the opening ceremony after the cauldron was left the First Lady 1485 01:32:07,290 --> 01:32:10,140 of the United States Michelle Obama summed it all up pretty 1486 01:32:10,140 --> 01:32:13,470 nicely in a tweet writing. Thanks to US Olympic team for 1487 01:32:13,470 --> 01:32:18,030 inspiring me and our nation's kids. Meredith, brought to you 1488 01:32:18,030 --> 01:32:18,660 by Visa. 1489 01:32:19,770 --> 01:32:21,360 Was that a piece of crap? 1490 01:32:21,960 --> 01:32:27,570 It's i I told you I can't watch it anymore. It's so Facebook 1491 01:32:27,570 --> 01:32:31,530 and Twitter plugs up the butt. And and when the Twitter is 1492 01:32:31,530 --> 01:32:33,960 really got to be shut down. 1493 01:32:34,320 --> 01:32:36,960 At the Twitter, he tweeted this. He tweeted that. 1494 01:32:37,500 --> 01:32:40,140 He tweeted congratulations. Oh, he tweeted you're ugly? 1495 01:32:40,230 --> 01:32:42,690 No, I think no, that's I think that's all fine. I think that's 1496 01:32:42,690 --> 01:32:47,370 really good. That's actually the tweeter thing. I'm okay with. 1497 01:32:48,030 --> 01:32:50,970 I'm not no I'm okay with that. Because it's nice. I 1498 01:32:50,970 --> 01:32:51,720 know you're you're just 1499 01:32:52,170 --> 01:32:55,260 Yeah, but it's different. It's a different thing. Who cares where 1500 01:32:55,260 --> 01:32:56,610 the I'm let 1501 01:32:56,610 --> 01:32:59,040 me do one little last little thing here. Just to get you back 1502 01:32:59,040 --> 01:33:03,450 on track. Did you've already blonde got together? In 1503 01:33:03,450 --> 01:33:08,820 Washington, right? Yeah. So I have two very short clips. One 1504 01:33:08,820 --> 01:33:13,260 is what Obama said to old blonde, and then one that Holon 1505 01:33:13,260 --> 01:33:17,310 said to Obama, and I think the contrast is, let's use the word 1506 01:33:17,310 --> 01:33:17,790 telling. 1507 01:33:17,820 --> 01:33:21,720 Okay, so we'll use Obama to Ilana first. Yeah, play that. 1508 01:33:21,720 --> 01:33:24,000 And then the break. Okay. And then we'll go to the next one. 1509 01:33:24,000 --> 01:33:25,110 All right, here we go. Here we go ending 1510 01:33:25,110 --> 01:33:29,100 together. And using our freedom to improve the lives of not only 1511 01:33:29,100 --> 01:33:32,250 our citizens, but people around the world is what makes France 1512 01:33:32,250 --> 01:33:35,280 not only America's oldest ally, but also one of our closest 1513 01:33:35,280 --> 01:33:35,850 allies. Wait 1514 01:33:35,850 --> 01:33:38,460 a minute. I've heard that line before. 1515 01:33:39,090 --> 01:33:43,290 Yeah, was what he says. All right. So now here's what Ilana 1516 01:33:43,290 --> 01:33:46,560 said to him, France and the United States are two countries. 1517 01:33:51,060 --> 01:33:54,210 That's right. And one of them speaks French. 1518 01:33:56,340 --> 01:33:58,590 He says, what is his line? Was there two countries? 1519 01:33:58,890 --> 01:34:03,630 Well, this all this uh, this visit, of course, comes amidst a 1520 01:34:03,630 --> 01:34:07,980 lot of stuff happening in Africa. And a lot of it in the 1521 01:34:07,980 --> 01:34:12,720 French portion of the African empire. What used to be known as 1522 01:34:12,720 --> 01:34:15,780 the African empires, and I've done my diligence I've really 1523 01:34:15,780 --> 01:34:19,170 tried to look into as much as possible, starting with the 1524 01:34:19,170 --> 01:34:23,010 drone base that we really knew nothing about in Niger or Niger 1525 01:34:23,010 --> 01:34:30,390 or making plans for Niger. And I went back and I found a clip 1526 01:34:30,810 --> 01:34:35,160 from January of last year, when the news about the so called 1527 01:34:35,160 --> 01:34:38,190 drone base, which now is apparently huge, and in full 1528 01:34:38,190 --> 01:34:41,910 operation. This is how the shill woman from the Department of 1529 01:34:41,910 --> 01:34:45,930 Defence answered the question about rumours in the press of 1530 01:34:45,930 --> 01:34:47,610 the drone base in Niger air 1531 01:34:48,000 --> 01:34:55,920 this Dory. It has been widely reported that the US is eager to 1532 01:34:55,920 --> 01:35:00,330 build a drone base in Nigeria to the extent you can tell Was it 1533 01:35:00,330 --> 01:35:05,310 an open hearing? Has that base begun construction or even been 1534 01:35:05,310 --> 01:35:09,540 completed? Are drones being launched from that base? And how 1535 01:35:09,540 --> 01:35:11,700 many US personnel are there? 1536 01:35:13,500 --> 01:35:16,320 We know these questions are scripted, I think he did a 1537 01:35:16,320 --> 01:35:18,240 little too easy on the read there. 1538 01:35:18,450 --> 01:35:23,550 To start, we do not have a drone base in Niger. So hopefully that 1539 01:35:23,550 --> 01:35:28,140 is helpful. What I can say is that commensurate with the 1540 01:35:28,170 --> 01:35:31,980 growing threat in the region, Africa Command as well as the 1541 01:35:31,980 --> 01:35:35,040 intelligence community is very interested in increasing 1542 01:35:35,040 --> 01:35:38,820 resources that are focusing on the region to improve our 1543 01:35:38,940 --> 01:35:41,580 understanding of what is happening there. And we are 1544 01:35:41,580 --> 01:35:46,980 seeing a growth in intelligence resources of all kinds. 1545 01:35:48,240 --> 01:35:51,360 This is how you skirt around the question. There's a growth in 1546 01:35:51,360 --> 01:35:54,480 intelligence resources of all kinds. Okay, 1547 01:35:54,780 --> 01:35:59,400 to include ISR. What you're referring to, in part, I 1548 01:35:59,400 --> 01:36:03,090 believe, is news that stemmed from the recent conclusion of a 1549 01:36:03,090 --> 01:36:06,240 status of forces agreement with the government of New shear. 1550 01:36:07,080 --> 01:36:10,980 This is the type of foundational agreement that we pursue in many 1551 01:36:10,980 --> 01:36:15,570 different countries in Africa that have regular relationships 1552 01:36:15,570 --> 01:36:19,080 with Africa Command for purposes of exercises and other 1553 01:36:19,080 --> 01:36:23,700 activities. So that that was what made it into the news and 1554 01:36:23,700 --> 01:36:26,610 then an extract extrapolation about a drone base from there, 1555 01:36:26,610 --> 01:36:27,630 but we are certainly 1556 01:36:27,660 --> 01:36:31,770 news report, that was an exaggeration. does happen 1557 01:36:31,770 --> 01:36:32,310 unusual? 1558 01:36:32,370 --> 01:36:35,190 Yeah. Okay, so a year later, of course, we know that it's true. 1559 01:36:35,580 --> 01:36:37,200 And that both of you are just full of 1560 01:36:37,260 --> 01:36:41,220 crap. Can you? Can you remember, this is one of the clips I had 1561 01:36:41,220 --> 01:36:45,210 on the last show, I believe about the drought that was at 1562 01:36:45,210 --> 01:36:45,930 the show before 1563 01:36:46,019 --> 01:36:48,929 the last show. That's why I went in looking for information right 1564 01:36:48,929 --> 01:36:49,169 now. I 1565 01:36:49,170 --> 01:36:52,050 understand. Yeah. What do you remember which clip? It was? 1566 01:36:52,830 --> 01:36:56,910 Um, yeah, I can probably find it hold on a second. 1567 01:36:58,170 --> 01:37:01,680 Because I guess I I was as shocked as you are, that we have 1568 01:37:01,680 --> 01:37:06,540 a base there and is based on this clip? Well, so I figured 1569 01:37:06,540 --> 01:37:09,360 out, it was on event cat, I'm just trying to say what the 1570 01:37:09,360 --> 01:37:12,630 source of this information was. Because now that it points out 1571 01:37:12,630 --> 01:37:15,270 an obvious lie, you know, was this with a drone base 1572 01:37:15,270 --> 01:37:16,500 overnight? Or is this one 1573 01:37:16,950 --> 01:37:19,920 with a French and African troops do have a mandate from the 1574 01:37:19,920 --> 01:37:23,070 United Nations to use force if there's a direct threat to the 1575 01:37:23,070 --> 01:37:26,400 civilian population? So if, for example, a Muslim is being 1576 01:37:26,400 --> 01:37:27,420 lynched by and 1577 01:37:27,660 --> 01:37:30,480 I don't think it's that one USA in Africa with French maybe it's 1578 01:37:30,480 --> 01:37:32,580 that one, let me slit has several military 1579 01:37:32,610 --> 01:37:36,000 bases. So looking at the map, then just reminders where they 1580 01:37:36,000 --> 01:37:39,000 propagate so far, and where they may cooperate in the future? 1581 01:37:39,450 --> 01:37:40,770 Will they cooperate a lot 1582 01:37:40,830 --> 01:37:45,840 in Mali? Because the US had just set up a drone base in 1583 01:37:45,870 --> 01:37:46,860 neighbouring Asia. 1584 01:37:47,100 --> 01:37:51,240 There you go. So that's, that's where it came from. And I 1585 01:37:51,240 --> 01:37:53,670 understand why it's in Asia, because we that's right in the 1586 01:37:53,670 --> 01:37:56,460 middle of Mali is this clip said to the north, that's where we 1587 01:37:56,460 --> 01:38:02,160 have the ever so dangerous al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb. 1588 01:38:02,880 --> 01:38:06,870 And that Yeah, yeah, this is I've been to the south we have 1589 01:38:06,870 --> 01:38:13,020 Nigeria, which of course is Boko Haram. But in both cases, it's 1590 01:38:13,020 --> 01:38:17,700 the Boko Haram was not there in Nigeria, Boko Haram Kenya, they 1591 01:38:17,700 --> 01:38:20,940 may be there too, but I think their base is in or the book, 1592 01:38:20,970 --> 01:38:22,740 all of this is probably made up. 1593 01:38:23,250 --> 01:38:25,470 I mean, who knows? Okay, we can go with that right. 1594 01:38:25,830 --> 01:38:28,740 Now. Apparently, we also have a drone base in Ethiopia, because 1595 01:38:28,740 --> 01:38:31,110 now I just I started really looking into it, like where are 1596 01:38:31,110 --> 01:38:33,840 we in Africa? So we have Ethiopia, we know we have 1597 01:38:33,840 --> 01:38:41,820 Djibouti Africa which is mentioned in my clip is still in 1598 01:38:41,820 --> 01:38:47,820 Germany. And this like this is what's very strange that we have 1599 01:38:47,850 --> 01:38:51,060 it because you think they could put it in Libya or any of these 1600 01:38:51,060 --> 01:38:55,080 other places that we kind of own yes in Germany, right. But it's 1601 01:38:55,080 --> 01:38:59,400 still in Germany. But we have the eyes in the air we have the 1602 01:38:59,400 --> 01:39:02,790 eyes in the air and and of course the only two countries 1603 01:39:02,790 --> 01:39:05,700 that should that we need to really be looking at although it 1604 01:39:05,700 --> 01:39:08,910 turns out that may not be true. Is the two on the west Clarke 1605 01:39:08,910 --> 01:39:13,410 seven lists which would be I think, Sudan and Somalia. These 1606 01:39:13,410 --> 01:39:17,850 are really on our on our new world order list. But somehow 1607 01:39:17,880 --> 01:39:23,160 and and obviously it's BP and total and elf is it elf oil elf 1608 01:39:23,190 --> 01:39:26,940 elf is that the other French elfia The French one Yeah. So so 1609 01:39:26,970 --> 01:39:30,030 if you really look at it, all these countries, you know, they 1610 01:39:30,030 --> 01:39:34,800 were all run by up until now like late 60s or 70s, by Britain 1611 01:39:34,800 --> 01:39:37,740 and France, and we really had didn't have a lot to do in 1612 01:39:37,740 --> 01:39:41,850 there. And and I'm starting to see that not only are we 1613 01:39:41,880 --> 01:39:44,790 extracting the minerals of course, we're we're extracting 1614 01:39:44,790 --> 01:39:48,240 Chinese first, like, Oh, hello, Chinese. Thank you for building 1615 01:39:48,240 --> 01:39:52,080 the road and the infrastructure get out. Then we're taking over 1616 01:39:52,080 --> 01:39:55,710 that. But there's also and this is what I think the French and 1617 01:39:55,710 --> 01:39:59,340 the British are seeing, because these countries are growing 1618 01:40:00,000 --> 01:40:04,410 There is there's a huge market now in selling gasoline to 1619 01:40:04,440 --> 01:40:08,160 African countries that people are getting cars and they you 1620 01:40:08,160 --> 01:40:10,980 know the infrastructure is really building there it's no 1621 01:40:10,980 --> 01:40:15,150 longer just a jungle bunnies running around chucking Spears 1622 01:40:15,150 --> 01:40:18,780 you know, there's these are real countries with real economies 1623 01:40:18,780 --> 01:40:23,010 that are going to make a big difference. And I think this is 1624 01:40:23,010 --> 01:40:25,800 everything is shifting over there not just for extracting 1625 01:40:25,800 --> 01:40:29,340 but for selling and building and buying and, and doing business. 1626 01:40:30,090 --> 01:40:32,880 You're gonna get letters for that. For what spear chucking 1627 01:40:32,880 --> 01:40:37,650 sand bunny jungle bunnies? Yeah, I'm making a point. 1628 01:40:38,280 --> 01:40:41,010 I know that you are. But I but do listeners of the show don't 1629 01:40:41,010 --> 01:40:44,580 understand how you make your points? Well, then they should I 1630 01:40:44,580 --> 01:40:47,250 think this is disgusting. They're gonna gripe they're 1631 01:40:47,250 --> 01:40:49,410 gonna gripe I'm just telling you in advance. I don't know, I 1632 01:40:49,410 --> 01:40:50,670 don't want to hear you grousing about it. 1633 01:40:50,700 --> 01:40:54,600 Oh, that's fine. People don't understand. That's fine. And you 1634 01:40:54,600 --> 01:40:58,710 can kind of apply this to what's happening in the Middle East. If 1635 01:40:58,710 --> 01:40:59,070 you live in 1636 01:40:59,070 --> 01:41:01,440 LA, hold on a second, let me help you here. So you don't get 1637 01:41:01,440 --> 01:41:08,670 these letters. What Adam just did was portray a stereotype of 1638 01:41:08,670 --> 01:41:14,790 the African which is used as a model for the elites in so far 1639 01:41:14,790 --> 01:41:18,120 as their their pre dis predisposed definition of the 1640 01:41:18,120 --> 01:41:23,070 situation. Yes. And that was would be exactly how they think. 1641 01:41:23,160 --> 01:41:27,570 And that's what he was doing was essentially reflecting that when 1642 01:41:27,570 --> 01:41:31,710 he uses this, this this usage. It's I didn't bother me, but I 1643 01:41:31,710 --> 01:41:34,650 know that let's some people would be upset already on your 1644 01:41:34,650 --> 01:41:35,070 case. 1645 01:41:35,730 --> 01:41:38,580 It's fine. Everyone. Everybody can be on my case. That's fine. 1646 01:41:39,450 --> 01:41:42,390 But I'm just saying I just wanted to because I know what 1647 01:41:42,390 --> 01:41:47,550 you're doing. And in the way you do it is it seems it seems it's 1648 01:41:47,550 --> 01:41:50,130 very elegant, actually. So continue. 1649 01:41:50,160 --> 01:41:55,200 Thank you. I am convinced that a large portion certainly of the 1650 01:41:55,200 --> 01:41:59,460 American public, but probably the European public as well, 1651 01:41:59,940 --> 01:42:03,480 when they heard about the shootings in the shopping mall 1652 01:42:03,480 --> 01:42:08,430 in Kenya. I have a feeling a lot of them went what? They got 1653 01:42:08,430 --> 01:42:12,600 shopping malls in Kenya. Right It's a 1654 01:42:12,600 --> 01:42:14,400 modern shop. Yeah, it's very modern. 1655 01:42:15,420 --> 01:42:17,550 It's like any crappy shopping mall anywhere. 1656 01:42:17,580 --> 01:42:20,160 Exactly. They got popcorn and got a movie theatre. They got 1657 01:42:20,160 --> 01:42:24,060 the games out from the movie theatre, Cineplex, Cineplex. 1658 01:42:24,060 --> 01:42:29,100 Thank you, they've got the what's the what's the, the t 1659 01:42:29,100 --> 01:42:31,680 shirt shop where you buy your skateboard hipster gear 1660 01:42:31,680 --> 01:42:35,340 t shirt shop, t shirt shops. It's, 1661 01:42:35,370 --> 01:42:38,460 well let me do a site about this. Let me do it in his site 1662 01:42:38,460 --> 01:42:44,010 about this. For example, in Asia, there's different kinds of 1663 01:42:44,010 --> 01:42:47,130 shopping malls, and I'm one of those guys when I travel, I 1664 01:42:47,160 --> 01:42:50,070 don't sit around the hotel, I get somebody to take me 1665 01:42:50,070 --> 01:42:56,220 shopping. And your staff is usually not a staff. Usually 1666 01:42:56,220 --> 01:42:58,770 somebody's holding me over there for some reason. And I kind of 1667 01:42:58,770 --> 01:43:03,180 demand an escort to take me some places unless it's like Korea, 1668 01:43:03,180 --> 01:43:05,670 which I know the town enough, I can just draw a guy and get on a 1669 01:43:05,670 --> 01:43:09,690 bus and I've done that and just bus around. But you there are 1670 01:43:09,690 --> 01:43:13,050 shopping malls that make many of our shopping malls very sick by 1671 01:43:13,050 --> 01:43:15,180 comparison. And some of them are very weird though. There's a 1672 01:43:15,180 --> 01:43:18,030 shopping mall. And I believe this is in one, I think this is 1673 01:43:18,030 --> 01:43:22,140 an I'm trying to think he had to Jakarta or someplace like that 1674 01:43:22,140 --> 01:43:24,870 is it but the outside of the mall is like they're different. 1675 01:43:24,870 --> 01:43:27,660 They're like a big just like the Merchandise Mart in Chicago. 1676 01:43:27,810 --> 01:43:31,770 It's a big building, as opposed to a strip mall. And the 1677 01:43:31,770 --> 01:43:35,220 building has maybe eight floors of shopping. And it's more 1678 01:43:35,220 --> 01:43:37,800 vertical than it is horizontal because of the space 1679 01:43:37,800 --> 01:43:40,440 limitations. So the shopping mall takes on a slightly 1680 01:43:40,440 --> 01:43:42,990 different quality, but it's still a shopping mall. And they 1681 01:43:42,990 --> 01:43:46,170 have the same stuff. They have the same perfumes they usually 1682 01:43:46,170 --> 01:43:49,170 have a better selection of Asian electronics and any place you've 1683 01:43:49,170 --> 01:43:53,370 ever seen. And cameras, etc. in different colours you've never 1684 01:43:53,370 --> 01:43:56,520 seen. And they're pretty, pretty moderate. It's just like people 1685 01:43:56,520 --> 01:43:59,280 shouldn't be thinking like that, that there's no shopping malls 1686 01:43:59,280 --> 01:44:01,500 in Nairobi. Or, 1687 01:44:02,460 --> 01:44:06,060 or any of these countries really, that that that of course 1688 01:44:06,060 --> 01:44:08,550 is the point that I'm making. It's the same point that I make 1689 01:44:08,850 --> 01:44:13,020 that people somehow then this is exactly the same. Russia is just 1690 01:44:13,020 --> 01:44:17,970 filled with a bunch of hairy fat women with drunken vodka 1691 01:44:17,970 --> 01:44:23,310 slurping dudes with bear hats on who hate gays. Yeah, well, 1692 01:44:23,310 --> 01:44:25,770 besides that, though, there's a lot of pleasant Russians. 1693 01:44:26,820 --> 01:44:27,360 Actually. 1694 01:44:28,830 --> 01:44:33,540 I'll give you a little in the morning. Have a report came out 1695 01:44:33,540 --> 01:44:36,720 whereas it here I have it here. Americans Okay, who did this 1696 01:44:36,720 --> 01:44:41,190 report? Washington DC. I just got to open this up to find out 1697 01:44:41,190 --> 01:44:44,100 who did the actual report. This is Gallup. Oh, there you go. 1698 01:44:44,100 --> 01:44:47,070 Gallup poll. Would you say that's reasonably no more 1699 01:44:47,070 --> 01:44:48,150 corrupt than the rest? 1700 01:44:48,509 --> 01:44:53,669 I would say it's probably the least of the corrupt groups. I 1701 01:44:53,669 --> 01:44:56,729 like when I see Gallup I they have a trust. They're 1702 01:44:56,729 --> 01:44:59,399 trustworthy in the trust. Since 1703 01:44:59,429 --> 01:45:04,529 February 3 In 2014, America's views of Russia, Putin are worst 1704 01:45:04,529 --> 01:45:08,999 Aden years. clear majority view the Russian president and his 1705 01:45:08,999 --> 01:45:13,319 nation unfavourably. Yeah, no kidding. 1706 01:45:13,860 --> 01:45:16,860 So the propaganda machine does its job as host 1707 01:45:16,860 --> 01:45:19,380 nation, Russia dominates the world stage the Winter Olympics. 1708 01:45:19,380 --> 01:45:22,800 And so he, Americans clearly do not think highly of the country 1709 01:45:22,800 --> 01:45:26,130 or its President Vladimir Putin. Putin and Russia scored the 1710 01:45:26,130 --> 01:45:30,930 highest unfavourable rating 63 and 60%, respectively, that 1711 01:45:30,930 --> 01:45:33,690 Gallup has recorded for them in the past two decades. 1712 01:45:34,170 --> 01:45:38,040 20 years good worker Human Rights Watch. Yeah, 1713 01:45:38,070 --> 01:45:40,650 it's exactly what you wanted. Well, there you go. 1714 01:45:41,280 --> 01:45:45,120 Now, here's what's funny. I so I'm, I don't know why this keeps 1715 01:45:45,120 --> 01:45:47,880 getting lost in the conversation because we I maybe because we 1716 01:45:47,880 --> 01:45:50,610 don't hound our pound on it enough. I'm listening to 1717 01:45:50,610 --> 01:45:54,540 somebody else's podcast. And the guy goes on with this thesis 1718 01:45:54,540 --> 01:45:57,930 that we have because I guess it got to him about the gay thing 1719 01:45:57,930 --> 01:46:00,990 in Russia is overblown. And the Russians are just what they are. 1720 01:46:00,990 --> 01:46:03,870 I mean, they're the things you know, they haven't drawn going 1721 01:46:03,870 --> 01:46:06,540 out of their way to do one thing or another about gays coming 1722 01:46:06,540 --> 01:46:10,230 over to visit so she and so she's not that bad, of a 1723 01:46:10,230 --> 01:46:15,930 situation in reality. And the comment was, why would we do 1724 01:46:15,930 --> 01:46:19,500 that? Why would we what is the point of making the Russians 1725 01:46:19,500 --> 01:46:24,060 look like a bunch of saps and creeps? It's always forgotten 1726 01:46:24,060 --> 01:46:32,160 that the Russians have Snowden. Yeah. It's about Snowden. Give 1727 01:46:32,160 --> 01:46:37,020 us Snowden No, not giving you Snowden. Oh, really? Okay, well 1728 01:46:37,020 --> 01:46:41,730 here out here. Watch this all tracks right back to Snowden. 1729 01:46:43,140 --> 01:46:46,470 Just to show you how great the no agenda global audiences I got 1730 01:46:46,470 --> 01:46:50,640 a tweet from someone who was watching RTL four, which is the 1731 01:46:50,640 --> 01:46:54,960 commercial broadcaster in the Netherlands. And he said, Oh my 1732 01:46:54,960 --> 01:46:59,640 god, RTL four on their newscast use the same drag queens for a 1733 01:46:59,640 --> 01:47:07,050 Sochi report as as NBC used the same drag queens in the same 1734 01:47:07,050 --> 01:47:12,030 sorry as club with the same sorry as story about how gays 1735 01:47:12,030 --> 01:47:13,590 are persecuted in so cheap. 1736 01:47:14,700 --> 01:47:17,760 Yeah, it's a package a package. Exactly. And I wonder who did 1737 01:47:17,760 --> 01:47:20,310 the package do we know who else did I bet you it was one of 1738 01:47:20,310 --> 01:47:21,480 these NGOs? I 1739 01:47:21,480 --> 01:47:25,110 think it's well, I don't think it was it wasn't a package per 1740 01:47:25,110 --> 01:47:28,770 se because the it's useless for me to play because all in Dutch, 1741 01:47:29,430 --> 01:47:32,730 the the they had their own reporter there but I think that 1742 01:47:32,730 --> 01:47:35,880 they have a liaison. You know, this is part of the Human Rights 1743 01:47:35,880 --> 01:47:40,950 Watch liaison there. It's like, okay, NBC a tomorrow we'll be 1744 01:47:40,950 --> 01:47:46,320 going to the drag quad to the to the Viking bar. And then RTL we 1745 01:47:46,320 --> 01:47:49,860 can go on Thursday. Yes. Okay. Very good. Well, such all up. 1746 01:47:51,030 --> 01:47:55,080 Well, it's not I don't mean it's a package by by, like a package 1747 01:47:55,080 --> 01:47:57,720 package where it's a complete product, right. But one of these 1748 01:47:57,720 --> 01:48:01,140 years to be role, here's the script. Here's the kind of thing 1749 01:48:01,140 --> 01:48:03,030 you know, one of those things where you can have your local 1750 01:48:03,030 --> 01:48:06,420 guy doing the report, I think is more common now than I've done a 1751 01:48:06,420 --> 01:48:10,470 pure package that is completely done from beginning to end. 1752 01:48:10,470 --> 01:48:10,770 Right. 1753 01:48:10,800 --> 01:48:14,310 Right. And meanwhile, I would I found the real news to be is 1754 01:48:14,310 --> 01:48:19,980 that Egypt has apparently reached a deal with Russia, for 1755 01:48:19,980 --> 01:48:24,180 Russian military equipment, which so we have said, you know, 1756 01:48:24,180 --> 01:48:27,180 screw you guys, we're not going to give you the F 16 We're not 1757 01:48:27,180 --> 01:48:32,100 going to give you some helicopters. And Russia Putin 1758 01:48:32,100 --> 01:48:36,720 goes to Egypt makes a $3 billion deal which apparently the Saudi 1759 01:48:36,720 --> 01:48:41,850 Arabia is going to fund and no one is talking about this if I 1760 01:48:41,850 --> 01:48:46,110 find wow there you got me I find this to be something that needs 1761 01:48:46,110 --> 01:48:50,010 to be evaluated that we are giving money. Of course that's 1762 01:48:50,010 --> 01:48:52,830 how it works and we give money to Egypt, Egypt then I don't 1763 01:48:52,830 --> 01:48:55,770 think they even get our stuff and then we get a check. Right? 1764 01:48:55,770 --> 01:48:59,640 Don't we just cut it directly to the contractor? I would presume 1765 01:48:59,670 --> 01:49:02,730 I presume Egypt doesn't get a check or Bitcoin. 1766 01:49:03,810 --> 01:49:05,400 No, no, no, they get a 1767 01:49:05,610 --> 01:49:11,010 Bitcoin one Bitcoin. So now, Saudi Arabia has said, Well, you 1768 01:49:11,010 --> 01:49:13,260 know, we're kind of interested in Egypt thing over there. We 1769 01:49:13,260 --> 01:49:18,570 want to because they're always involved in everything. And 1770 01:49:18,570 --> 01:49:23,160 they're going to give $3 billion to the Russians for MIG 20 nines 1771 01:49:23,160 --> 01:49:30,240 and mi 35. Helicopters, some light weapons of ammo. And but 1772 01:49:30,240 --> 01:49:34,260 no, Bob Costas has pinkeye. And what are we doing in America 1773 01:49:34,260 --> 01:49:38,010 people? What are we doing anywhere with any kind of news? 1774 01:49:38,370 --> 01:49:41,490 Oh, the Dutch. to of course, the Dutch are sweeping the 1775 01:49:41,490 --> 01:49:44,400 speedskating which, which is great, you know that we have I 1776 01:49:44,400 --> 01:49:48,180 think the men won. Gold, Silver, Bronze women gold, silver, 1777 01:49:48,180 --> 01:49:51,840 bronze, Putin. This is what Putin is over there, sucking up 1778 01:49:51,840 --> 01:49:55,320 to our queen, our hottie queen from Argentina, and our King 1779 01:49:55,350 --> 01:49:59,250 King Pils who's drunk, too because he's drunk all the time. 1780 01:49:59,250 --> 01:50:06,150 He's 100 The Olympics it's it's and that's all that they can 1781 01:50:06,150 --> 01:50:09,720 report on. Nothing else is important. It is such a big 1782 01:50:09,720 --> 01:50:13,080 distraction from reality. But it's hunger. And we 1783 01:50:13,080 --> 01:50:15,810 do the same thing where we watch the reports together. Guy comes 1784 01:50:15,810 --> 01:50:18,210 in first a guy come to the gate with a great story guy comes the 1785 01:50:18,210 --> 01:50:21,120 second guy, an American comes in third the interview the American 1786 01:50:21,120 --> 01:50:23,790 Yeah, of course. How was it coming? How was it coming in 1787 01:50:23,790 --> 01:50:28,320 third? He wasn't exciting. Yeah, it was exciting. I'm glad I got 1788 01:50:28,350 --> 01:50:29,220 third. Yeah. 1789 01:50:30,510 --> 01:50:33,900 So I think these things. And then of course, we had the 1790 01:50:33,930 --> 01:50:37,950 hockey thing, which I guess we got a ruling and we beat Russia 1791 01:50:37,950 --> 01:50:39,420 because of some technicality. 1792 01:50:40,110 --> 01:50:44,850 Well, it was it wasn't that it was. Yeah, we had the net was 1793 01:50:44,850 --> 01:50:48,630 out of the hole. And by my rule, you can't date gold doesn't 1794 01:50:48,630 --> 01:50:49,830 count. It's just a rule. 1795 01:50:49,860 --> 01:50:53,820 So you think that all of this that the entire gang up is only 1796 01:50:53,820 --> 01:50:54,630 about Snowden? 1797 01:50:55,710 --> 01:51:01,380 I think so. Yeah. Oh, well, no, no. Okay. Also the Syria, Syria 1798 01:51:01,380 --> 01:51:04,260 because Russia has a bunch of things. But Snowden was the was 1799 01:51:04,260 --> 01:51:07,020 the was the cherry on the top of the thing. That's when we let it 1800 01:51:07,020 --> 01:51:09,720 rip? Yeah. i Come on, 1801 01:51:09,750 --> 01:51:12,600 I think I think a lot of it has to do with Syria, because Syria 1802 01:51:12,630 --> 01:51:15,360 is essentially been saved. If you really want to look at it 1803 01:51:15,360 --> 01:51:20,040 objectively. The Syrian people, they all would have been dead, 1804 01:51:20,190 --> 01:51:22,950 all bombed to smithereens like Libya. And you wouldn't have 1805 01:51:22,950 --> 01:51:27,030 seen any of it if it were not for the Russians. I truly think 1806 01:51:27,030 --> 01:51:30,570 Russia saved more Syrian people than we're pretending to with 1807 01:51:30,570 --> 01:51:33,360 sending, you know, al Qaeda fighters over there. 1808 01:51:35,070 --> 01:51:37,980 It's just I agree with that. Yeah. Because I think the 1809 01:51:37,980 --> 01:51:40,230 Russians are full of crap, because I've been watching a lot 1810 01:51:40,230 --> 01:51:44,550 of RT. And, you know, they're full of crap. I mean, they're, 1811 01:51:44,550 --> 01:51:46,950 they're trying to do the best they can with the propaganda, 1812 01:51:46,980 --> 01:51:50,970 their propaganda machine, which doesn't even come close to ours, 1813 01:51:51,240 --> 01:51:55,380 were so much better. Yes. It says ludicrous. And they and I 1814 01:51:55,380 --> 01:51:57,840 think they're flummoxed by the whole thing to kind of like, Oh, 1815 01:51:57,840 --> 01:52:01,830 God, what do we do now? I don't know. And they just hope to God 1816 01:52:01,830 --> 01:52:06,030 that I mean, we're two guys that try to compare notes on these 1817 01:52:06,030 --> 01:52:10,860 things. And we see what the Russians are up to, and our what 1818 01:52:10,860 --> 01:52:13,260 our State Department is up to in terms of countering what the 1819 01:52:13,260 --> 01:52:16,260 Russians are trying to do right. And then there's the Chinese 1820 01:52:16,260 --> 01:52:19,470 issue which the Russians are also kind of a wildcard in that 1821 01:52:19,470 --> 01:52:21,570 because they're kind of friends with the Chinese but then again, 1822 01:52:21,570 --> 01:52:24,090 they're not because they share a border and they really don't 1823 01:52:24,090 --> 01:52:27,120 like each other. It's it's interesting, but yeah, the 1824 01:52:27,120 --> 01:52:30,360 Russians are out flanked by us by lots it's just got to be 1825 01:52:30,360 --> 01:52:33,570 frustrating if you're them Yeah. And I think that's part of the 1826 01:52:33,570 --> 01:52:36,090 reason that Putin is always out there with the shirt off. You 1827 01:52:36,090 --> 01:52:38,760 know, your president can't ride a motorcycle your president 1828 01:52:38,760 --> 01:52:40,860 can't write he all you ever see him throw a baseball he can 1829 01:52:40,860 --> 01:52:42,900 throw a baseball I can do a shoot shoot a basket know 1830 01:52:42,900 --> 01:52:46,560 what it is here so thank you for pointing this out. This is and 1831 01:52:46,560 --> 01:52:50,820 by the way, all of this can be solved very easily all Russia 1832 01:52:50,820 --> 01:52:54,660 has to do is hire the curry Devorah Consulting Group. We 1833 01:52:54,660 --> 01:52:59,310 know how to do this for you. They are using know that using 1834 01:52:59,430 --> 01:53:04,020 cold war tactics of look at my my chest. Look at the bear I 1835 01:53:04,020 --> 01:53:07,590 shot Look at the fish I caught. This is no you know, you got to 1836 01:53:07,590 --> 01:53:13,080 do. You have to be way, way way on the other end of things to 1837 01:53:13,080 --> 01:53:15,300 impress the world stage. This is all 1838 01:53:15,900 --> 01:53:19,470 do. Right. This is all 50s 60s 1839 01:53:19,500 --> 01:53:22,680 era. Thank you. You know, first of all, Vlad has got it. He's 1840 01:53:22,680 --> 01:53:25,590 got to start speaking English. He's gotten you'll get someone 1841 01:53:25,680 --> 01:53:30,330 you just got to do it. You are behind you have zero. You need 1842 01:53:30,330 --> 01:53:34,140 to speak the language of the kids. And that's what I'm all 1843 01:53:34,140 --> 01:53:36,510 the kids speak English because that's the popular culture. Just 1844 01:53:36,510 --> 01:53:41,340 learn a few words. Tweet it. We could start there. We can start 1845 01:53:41,340 --> 01:53:45,720 there. Now. Where's Russia's First Lady? And we've got 1846 01:53:45,720 --> 01:53:50,220 Michelle Obama. Excuse me, by the way, this counts the $12,000 1847 01:53:50,220 --> 01:53:55,110 dress the Celebrate ease and her at the state dinner. This stuff 1848 01:53:55,110 --> 01:54:00,870 counts on the world stage. Putin you get your baby out there get 1849 01:54:00,870 --> 01:54:05,310 her done gussied up and some. You know, Tom for you.

You 1851 01:54:12,090 --> 01:54:15,060 got store's there you got to gussied up man. 1852 01:54:16,890 --> 01:54:20,820 I start talking to the way I the way I see it even though it 1853 01:54:20,820 --> 01:54:23,880 doesn't really work because after spending $50 billion on 1854 01:54:24,780 --> 01:54:29,640 gussying up Sochi the he gets a lot of he gets a lot of flack 1855 01:54:29,640 --> 01:54:34,020 from his political competition. As a spendthrift he's just all 1856 01:54:34,020 --> 01:54:37,950 you guys he's you he's not a he's not a good Soviet or Soviet 1857 01:54:37,980 --> 01:54:41,910 Russian. Recently he's too flamboyant, which is not true. 1858 01:54:41,940 --> 01:54:44,700 The Russians actually have a history of flam Catherine the 1859 01:54:44,700 --> 01:54:50,100 Great Peter the Great all these the greats Putin the great they 1860 01:54:50,100 --> 01:54:52,710 have with all these in the past they you know, they would the 1861 01:54:52,710 --> 01:54:54,930 French and the Russians were very close to each other 1862 01:54:54,960 --> 01:54:57,510 historically, and they would always copy each other the 1863 01:54:57,510 --> 01:55:00,450 French love the Russians in terms of their art and 1864 01:55:00,450 --> 01:55:03,870 architecture and then it goes the other way. And so they when 1865 01:55:03,870 --> 01:55:06,270 Catherine the Great goddess, she just built the place up with all 1866 01:55:06,270 --> 01:55:09,900 kinds of fancy palaces and, and then before that they've done 1867 01:55:09,900 --> 01:55:13,680 this for just all the time until Stalin got in. And then he just 1868 01:55:13,680 --> 01:55:16,440 built everything. And this kind of let me let me. Let me give 1869 01:55:16,440 --> 01:55:17,640 you an example, I designed 1870 01:55:17,670 --> 01:55:21,660 an example. So on this ski slopestyle thing, they have a 1871 01:55:21,660 --> 01:55:25,920 big babushka doll on the ski slope of the nesting doll. Yeah, 1872 01:55:25,950 --> 01:55:28,440 they need chicks to pop out of that at some point. You know, 1873 01:55:28,440 --> 01:55:32,430 like, babes. Not just another doll. You know, this is 1874 01:55:32,580 --> 01:55:34,440 modernise a little bit people. 1875 01:55:34,770 --> 01:55:38,010 The thing Russia does have that dollar school because the some 1876 01:55:38,010 --> 01:55:39,540 of the stunt guys would bounce 1877 01:55:39,600 --> 01:55:43,470 bounce off of it. I know. I know. The the best thing the 1878 01:55:43,470 --> 01:55:46,950 best thing Putin has going for him in this fight America 1879 01:55:46,980 --> 01:55:51,720 against Russia. Putin against Obama. Yeah, apart. He's clever. 1880 01:55:51,750 --> 01:55:56,430 It's clearly his his agent of change, Joe Biden. He's working 1881 01:55:56,430 --> 01:56:00,570 for the Russians. Did you hear what he said just the other day? 1882 01:56:01,259 --> 01:56:02,129 You have a clip? I 1883 01:56:02,130 --> 01:56:06,750 do. It always surprises me when we don't have the degree of 1884 01:56:06,750 --> 01:56:10,530 optimism we should about the state of the nation. And in 1885 01:56:10,530 --> 01:56:13,680 spite of who's president, in spite of who's in the Congress, 1886 01:56:14,160 --> 01:56:19,560 in spite of who's president. That's your boss, dude. You 1887 01:56:19,560 --> 01:56:22,680 realise you can say in spite of the President, 1888 01:56:23,640 --> 01:56:26,820 that he doesn't know a lot doesn't even know what 1889 01:56:26,820 --> 01:56:32,190 does he even know what he's saying? In spite, in spite of 1890 01:56:32,190 --> 01:56:36,960 the who's president. Wow, Joe, pick up your ruble check. 1891 01:56:40,260 --> 01:56:45,270 Well, he's he deserves it for that. Meanwhile, yeah, they need 1892 01:56:45,270 --> 01:56:48,810 to upgrade they got to modernise to get to bring it up to the 1893 01:56:48,810 --> 01:56:51,690 21st century. That's just old fashioned stuff. I mean, it's 1894 01:56:51,690 --> 01:56:54,330 funny for us, I mean, we get a kick out of seeing Putin, you 1895 01:56:54,330 --> 01:56:58,050 know, doing some dumb things flying with a with a goose and a 1896 01:56:59,370 --> 01:57:02,880 ultralight is an example. But yeah, 1897 01:57:03,120 --> 01:57:06,960 and but I know all of that is it's you're right. 1950s 1898 01:57:07,650 --> 01:57:11,490 He got definitely jobbed on this social thing, because when you 1899 01:57:11,490 --> 01:57:15,810 see that when you watch Russia, today's version of the Olympics, 1900 01:57:15,990 --> 01:57:19,590 and they of course, they're, you know, promoting it. They show 1901 01:57:19,590 --> 01:57:22,140 some stuff though, that is like I never saw that the some of the 1902 01:57:22,140 --> 01:57:25,350 fireworks displays and some of the cute little town that's 1903 01:57:25,350 --> 01:57:29,130 there, and they just they, you know, they roaming around is 1904 01:57:29,130 --> 01:57:32,340 really quite quite attractive. It'd be a cool place to visit. 1905 01:57:32,670 --> 01:57:35,040 But I've never get that impression from any American 1906 01:57:35,040 --> 01:57:35,610 coverage. 1907 01:57:36,150 --> 01:57:44,040 I saw that. I see. Do I have it here? So they were misusing the 1908 01:57:44,070 --> 01:57:48,810 global warming in Sochi? Yeah, because I guess they don't have 1909 01:57:48,810 --> 01:57:54,690 snow or it's, it's above freezing. And there's and so now 1910 01:57:54,690 --> 01:57:57,900 that's being misused as Oh, yes. Well, there's a global warming 1911 01:57:57,900 --> 01:58:01,680 and it's ruining the Olympics. Well, isn't Sochi a place that 1912 01:58:01,680 --> 01:58:05,430 has palm trees? isn't the kind of like doesn't kind of happen 1913 01:58:05,430 --> 01:58:05,730 there? 1914 01:58:05,760 --> 01:58:09,780 It's a resort town on the on the, on the Balkan or in the was 1915 01:58:09,780 --> 01:58:13,350 it the Black Sea? Yes, it's a resort town. It's a resort 1916 01:58:13,380 --> 01:58:16,860 village that they built up and probably going to have a Do you 1917 01:58:16,860 --> 01:58:18,630 know, I don't know what they're going to do with it now. But 1918 01:58:18,660 --> 01:58:21,870 because of all this extra buildings, but yeah, it's all 1919 01:58:21,870 --> 01:58:25,080 built up. It's it. But it's, it's a summer thing. And so it 1920 01:58:25,080 --> 01:58:28,410 probably doesn't get that cold. They all have skiing stuff is 45 1921 01:58:28,410 --> 01:58:29,130 minutes away. 1922 01:58:30,450 --> 01:58:35,790 But we're getting a tonne of, of course, in. Here's the situation 1923 01:58:35,790 --> 01:58:40,530 in the United States, we have the pretty big Cold Snap, which 1924 01:58:40,530 --> 01:58:44,340 is not unprecedented, but it's it's very annoying for people on 1925 01:58:44,340 --> 01:58:48,270 the West Coast and southern states. In the meantime, in 1926 01:58:48,300 --> 01:58:53,340 Europe and the United Kingdom is flooding. The Dutch claim they 1927 01:58:53,340 --> 01:58:56,100 have the warmest winter ever, which I also don't think is 1928 01:58:56,100 --> 01:59:02,220 true. Then people are using the example of it being very warm in 1929 01:59:02,220 --> 01:59:05,190 Australia. Of course this is their summer it's exactly polar 1930 01:59:05,190 --> 01:59:10,260 opposite. But CBS really is taking this to the max with 1931 01:59:10,260 --> 01:59:15,510 this. You know the me Shukaku the crazy Asian scientist guy. 1932 01:59:16,260 --> 01:59:19,920 What they bring in from time to time. Yeah, to white hair. Yes, 1933 01:59:19,920 --> 01:59:25,590 that guy. That guy, that guy. So and he is a he's not a 1934 01:59:25,680 --> 01:59:29,730 meteorologist. I think he's a he's a physics physicists right. 1935 01:59:29,820 --> 01:59:32,850 But he is now in charge of propagating the message you need 1936 01:59:32,850 --> 01:59:36,870 to listen to this report. combating the global cooling 1937 01:59:36,870 --> 01:59:40,290 that we believe we are in. Charlie Rose just muttering 1938 01:59:42,210 --> 01:59:45,120 throughout the whole thing while Kaku is talking out of his butt 1939 01:59:45,120 --> 01:59:45,300 as 1940 01:59:45,300 --> 01:59:49,200 another major storm system hits the south and the east subzero 1941 01:59:49,200 --> 01:59:52,950 temperatures still gripped the Midwest and Western Oregon and 1942 01:59:52,950 --> 01:59:55,830 Washington State were hit with unusual snow. 1943 01:59:56,130 --> 01:59:59,220 Northern California just got about 20 inches of rain from a 1944 01:59:59,220 --> 02:00:02,490 pineapple Mix. pres but that state is far from ending its 1945 02:00:02,490 --> 02:00:03,660 drought emergency 1946 02:00:04,140 --> 02:00:07,830 question about that. When When do you have enough rain to end 1947 02:00:07,830 --> 02:00:11,400 the drought emergency? What do you really need to end it? In 1948 02:00:11,400 --> 02:00:12,120 California? 1949 02:00:12,720 --> 02:00:15,900 I was listening to you your I don't know if you listened to 1950 02:00:15,900 --> 02:00:19,830 her normally but just the congressional dish with Jen 1951 02:00:19,830 --> 02:00:20,430 brainy. 1952 02:00:20,670 --> 02:00:24,360 Yeah, I listened to her but sometimes I get annoyed by her 1953 02:00:24,360 --> 02:00:25,620 Obama bot ism 1954 02:00:25,980 --> 02:00:28,710 is She's a bit of a bot but that's but she does go through 1955 02:00:28,710 --> 02:00:31,680 this stuff. And she went through the Farm Bill. Yes, I heard what 1956 02:00:31,680 --> 02:00:34,290 she did. I realised there's something she talks about which 1957 02:00:34,290 --> 02:00:40,890 is the drought funds that if you apparently declare a drought, 1958 02:00:41,220 --> 02:00:44,100 sort exactly what I was thinking yeah, how much money can you 1959 02:00:44,100 --> 02:00:45,240 get? You get a 1960 02:00:45,240 --> 02:00:48,450 bunch of money so you you're also a California if it can do 1961 02:00:48,450 --> 02:00:50,280 it. It just stays in a drought no matter how 1962 02:00:50,280 --> 02:00:55,320 much. Yes, that's what I was thinking. It's a scam. Yes. And 1963 02:00:55,320 --> 02:00:57,210 it's a federal funding scam. 1964 02:00:57,720 --> 02:01:00,840 Yeah, it's just a way to get money from the feds. But they 1965 02:01:00,840 --> 02:01:04,110 have to pretend you know, it got us a drought. Oh, yeah. And then 1966 02:01:04,110 --> 02:01:06,510 that gives them an excuse to jack up the rates again, they 1967 02:01:06,510 --> 02:01:10,290 never lower the rates by the way. What is gonna be flooding? 1968 02:01:10,320 --> 02:01:12,840 What do you think Charlie meant by a Pineapple Express? Is that 1969 02:01:12,840 --> 02:01:14,880 a medium meteorological term? It's, 1970 02:01:15,210 --> 02:01:20,640 it's any storm that comes in over Hawaii. Okay, and then 1971 02:01:20,640 --> 02:01:23,820 comes up and picks up tropical moisture and drops it in 1972 02:01:23,820 --> 02:01:25,920 California is called a Pineapple Express 1973 02:01:26,190 --> 02:01:30,180 tide, but I keep following this and I also see the the Federal 1974 02:01:30,180 --> 02:01:33,990 Register. And every single day there's the President signed 1975 02:01:33,990 --> 02:01:37,410 disaster relief for the state for Georgia for Florida. For 1976 02:01:37,410 --> 02:01:41,520 California for New Jersey. It's like billions and billions of 1977 02:01:41,520 --> 02:01:44,010 dollars. And I think you're right, as long as you keep 1978 02:01:44,010 --> 02:01:47,460 claiming it's a drought no matter how hard it rains. I 1979 02:01:47,460 --> 02:01:52,110 mean, I'm expecting zero fruits and greens from California this 1980 02:01:52,110 --> 02:01:54,510 year. You guys must be dying out there. I mean, yeah, I can't 1981 02:01:54,510 --> 02:01:58,410 believe I'm talking to you. You must be dead. The way it sounds 1982 02:01:58,650 --> 02:02:01,380 out here and it's everything was pretty green, CBS News. Now 1983 02:02:01,380 --> 02:02:05,280 here's I was just apparently a whopper coming in. That's going 1984 02:02:05,280 --> 02:02:08,460 to drop a couple of feet on us and it looks like it's going it 1985 02:02:08,460 --> 02:02:11,100 looks like the jet stream is shifting enough to bring all 1986 02:02:11,100 --> 02:02:15,030 this Alaskan air down. We're filled with moisture and just 1987 02:02:15,030 --> 02:02:18,450 flood us I mean, just nails and I guarantee after that's over, 1988 02:02:18,450 --> 02:02:18,960 it'll still be 1989 02:02:20,040 --> 02:02:23,460 drought. Now. You're right. Here's the rest of this report 1990 02:02:23,460 --> 02:02:26,790 rain from a Pineapple Express. But that state is far from 1991 02:02:26,820 --> 02:02:30,840 ending its drought emergency. CBS News contributor Michio Kaku 1992 02:02:30,870 --> 02:02:33,960 is a physics professor, which means he knows nothing 1993 02:02:33,990 --> 02:02:37,860 professionally Professor really about climate at the City 1994 02:02:37,860 --> 02:02:40,500 College of New York. Good morning. Morning. So what's 1995 02:02:40,500 --> 02:02:41,670 causing all this? 1996 02:02:41,760 --> 02:02:44,580 Well, the wacky weather it could get even wacky her. 1997 02:02:45,270 --> 02:02:46,620 That's when I perk up. 1998 02:02:47,160 --> 02:02:51,000 Holy crap. When did he become a broadcaster The Morning 1999 02:02:51,780 --> 02:02:58,110 everybody. My daddy was a Beatle. 2000 02:02:59,760 --> 02:03:01,710 I don't know why I said that. But that's what they do at the 2001 02:03:01,710 --> 02:03:02,040 morning. 2002 02:03:04,440 --> 02:03:08,100 What we're seeing is that the jet stream and the polar vortex 2003 02:03:08,100 --> 02:03:12,720 are becoming unstable, unstable, unstable instability of historic 2004 02:03:12,720 --> 02:03:13,410 proportions. 2005 02:03:13,440 --> 02:03:16,200 historic proportions. I will give you no backup no proof, but 2006 02:03:16,200 --> 02:03:17,220 It's historic. Trust me. 2007 02:03:17,460 --> 02:03:20,970 Now think of the polar vortex as a bucket. A swirling bucket of 2008 02:03:20,970 --> 02:03:25,260 cold air. However the walls are weakening. Cold air is spilling 2009 02:03:25,260 --> 02:03:25,650 listen to 2010 02:03:25,680 --> 02:03:31,890 RO is going. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, he's, he's a robot. And he's 2011 02:03:31,890 --> 02:03:32,940 just lapping it up 2012 02:03:33,179 --> 02:03:36,449 bottling bucket of cold air. However, the walls are 2013 02:03:36,449 --> 02:03:40,319 weakening, cold air is spilling out spilling out over the walls 2014 02:03:40,319 --> 02:03:44,519 of the bucket. And the question is why? Why is this polar vortex 2015 02:03:44,609 --> 02:03:45,389 weakening? 2016 02:03:45,540 --> 02:03:51,810 This is. This is like Romper Room. It's a big bucket but the 2017 02:03:51,810 --> 02:03:55,710 walls are weakening. And the air is spilling over the thin walls. 2018 02:03:55,800 --> 02:04:00,540 The question is why? Why? Let's ask dooby dooby can tell us 2019 02:04:00,570 --> 02:04:05,010 we think it's because of the gradual heating of the north 2020 02:04:05,010 --> 02:04:05,490 pole 2021 02:04:05,520 --> 02:04:10,620 out the gradual heating of the north we think it's the gradual 2022 02:04:10,800 --> 02:04:12,510 heating of the North Pole. 2023 02:04:12,690 --> 02:04:14,580 The North Pole is melting. 2024 02:04:14,640 --> 02:04:18,870 It's melting that excess heat global warming Charlie Rose. Oh, 2025 02:04:19,080 --> 02:04:25,020 God. I just woke up. Cuckoo Did you say global warming melting? 2026 02:04:26,790 --> 02:04:28,470 Listen to rose in the background. It's hilarious 2027 02:04:28,470 --> 02:04:29,340 global warming. 2028 02:04:29,730 --> 02:04:33,690 The North Pole is melting. That excess heat. This is 2029 02:04:33,720 --> 02:04:36,330 this is the programming. See Charlie Rose is very tired. 2030 02:04:36,540 --> 02:04:38,310 Very, very tired. Man. He does 2031 02:04:38,310 --> 02:04:41,280 too much work. It's way too much have to. There's only a few guys 2032 02:04:41,280 --> 02:04:44,460 with a few minutes. Just let me go aside for a second. He does 2033 02:04:44,460 --> 02:04:47,760 his regular interview show which takes a lot of effort has a big 2034 02:04:47,760 --> 02:04:51,360 staff. He's got to coordinate and then he's got to talk to all 2035 02:04:51,360 --> 02:04:54,330 these guys. And if you've done an interview show of any sort 2036 02:04:54,330 --> 02:04:56,850 over the years, you know that most people are not even 2037 02:04:56,850 --> 02:04:59,970 interesting, right? They can't Converse you have to carry this 2038 02:05:00,000 --> 02:05:03,150 show it's like a lot of work. And so you get pooped. That's 2039 02:05:03,150 --> 02:05:05,400 enough work for anyone guy, believe it or not, even though 2040 02:05:05,400 --> 02:05:06,180 it's only an hour. I 2041 02:05:06,510 --> 02:05:08,250 know it's a lot of work, 2042 02:05:08,550 --> 02:05:11,580 and a lot of work and doesn't look like it, but it is. And he 2043 02:05:11,580 --> 02:05:15,810 and I do a morning show, which means you have to get up at 430 2044 02:05:15,810 --> 02:05:16,470 earlier no 2045 02:05:16,470 --> 02:05:20,070 earlier. No, no, he's okay. But three, he's up a three man 2046 02:05:20,070 --> 02:05:20,520 desperately 2047 02:05:20,520 --> 02:05:23,610 in the morning. Yeah. And then you got to prep and they got a 2048 02:05:23,610 --> 02:05:26,460 budget to make up and then you got to go over the Shah and you 2049 02:05:26,460 --> 02:05:29,970 got to, and that's an hour and a half show. Right? So you gotta 2050 02:05:29,970 --> 02:05:30,960 be lively. 2051 02:05:31,050 --> 02:05:33,810 So here's what's happening the housewives. So he is in a 2052 02:05:33,810 --> 02:05:39,330 constant buzz, coma buzz. Yeah. And this is what's so beautiful 2053 02:05:39,330 --> 02:05:46,620 about it because the trigger words are ISIS mountain North 2054 02:05:46,620 --> 02:05:51,390 Pole is melting. The pole is warming. And then you can hear 2055 02:05:51,390 --> 02:05:55,860 him go. Global warming, which is what most people are programmed 2056 02:05:55,860 --> 02:06:00,000 to think. This is guess is programming in process. It's 2057 02:06:00,000 --> 02:06:03,180 beautiful. A wicked. I'm Sir Richard Attenborough. And here 2058 02:06:03,180 --> 02:06:06,420 we see a fine specimen. A specimen known as the morning 2059 02:06:06,420 --> 02:06:09,840 news Casta. The news. The news Castle wish 2060 02:06:09,840 --> 02:06:12,720 you could find the clip of him where he's making a pass it that 2061 02:06:12,720 --> 02:06:13,140 woman 2062 02:06:13,799 --> 02:06:20,459 I have I have that. I have it. We have the newscaster the news 2063 02:06:20,459 --> 02:06:23,759 cast that has been programmed over the years to believe in 2064 02:06:23,939 --> 02:06:26,669 Angry pressure by global warming. That's the stuff that 2065 02:06:26,669 --> 02:06:31,289 man made themselves. And when he gets the keywords, he literally 2066 02:06:31,289 --> 02:06:33,449 will wake up and say global warming 2067 02:06:33,509 --> 02:06:38,459 weakening. We think it's because of the gradual heating up of the 2068 02:06:38,459 --> 02:06:46,709 North Pole. The North Pole is melting. Tell me about the 2069 02:06:46,709 --> 02:06:50,189 sexuality. It's in your DNA. That's right. 2070 02:06:51,780 --> 02:06:54,510 That is the creepy. That was Angelina Jolie, 2071 02:06:54,540 --> 02:06:58,200 tell me about your sexuality is in your DNA global warming. 2072 02:06:58,650 --> 02:07:02,250 That excess heat generated by all this warm water is 2073 02:07:02,250 --> 02:07:06,570 destabilising this gigantic bucket of cold air weakening 2074 02:07:06,570 --> 02:07:10,860 this low pressure region causing cold air to spill out over the 2075 02:07:10,860 --> 02:07:12,960 United States. Okay, that's the irony. 2076 02:07:13,380 --> 02:07:16,440 What's the irony of the bucket and the whatever leading 2077 02:07:16,500 --> 02:07:20,040 could cause gigantic storms of historic proportions? 2078 02:07:20,070 --> 02:07:25,080 Okay, so the irony is the heating can cause gigantic 2079 02:07:25,080 --> 02:07:27,780 storms of epic proportions. Okay, we get the third please 2080 02:07:30,570 --> 02:07:34,470 get the spilling out of the bucket right because right now I 2081 02:07:34,470 --> 02:07:38,610 don't get that. This one is this happened before the spilling out 2082 02:07:38,610 --> 02:07:40,110 of the bucket. Right. Okay, we get 2083 02:07:40,110 --> 02:07:43,080 the third please. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. 2084 02:07:43,590 --> 02:07:46,830 We get the spilling out of the bucket. Right. We see this snow 2085 02:07:46,830 --> 02:07:50,280 in the Midwest in the South. Why then is California been the 2086 02:07:50,280 --> 02:07:52,980 driest on record? I mean, look at the snowpack in the Sierras. 2087 02:07:52,980 --> 02:07:55,590 Any whiskey or nose out there they have so little snowpack, 2088 02:07:55,650 --> 02:07:56,610 huge drought, 2089 02:07:56,970 --> 02:08:01,620 because a lot of the weather that warm. The moisture laden 2090 02:08:01,920 --> 02:08:05,400 air which should go to California is being diverted 2091 02:08:05,520 --> 02:08:07,530 into Canada who had freezes. 2092 02:08:07,560 --> 02:08:14,340 Oh, yes. Finally, damn can the Navy and stealing our snow? I 2093 02:08:14,340 --> 02:08:14,850 knew it 2094 02:08:14,910 --> 02:08:18,480 and it falls on your backyard. So in some sense, there's a link 2095 02:08:18,480 --> 02:08:21,480 between what's happening in California as the Jetstream 2096 02:08:21,480 --> 02:08:28,320 diverts diverts the the moisture laden air over Canada and then 2097 02:08:28,320 --> 02:08:31,950 it snows on the on the United States. I'm trying to follow 2098 02:08:31,950 --> 02:08:32,160 you. 2099 02:08:32,610 --> 02:08:35,160 I'm really trying to follow you. But does this explain why 2100 02:08:35,370 --> 02:08:38,760 Niagara Falls is frozen and why it's warm in Sochi? It's all 2101 02:08:38,760 --> 02:08:40,020 connected to the same thing. 2102 02:08:41,790 --> 02:08:43,410 Okay, so what is that saying? 2103 02:08:43,440 --> 02:08:45,240 This guy off the air? Oh, no, 2104 02:08:45,240 --> 02:08:48,840 he's he's genius. In fact, they're going to compliment him 2105 02:08:49,050 --> 02:08:51,540 on his broadcast professionalism. It's connected. 2106 02:08:51,930 --> 02:08:52,470 Look at 2107 02:08:53,040 --> 02:08:56,760 globally, globally, globally. I know I'm trying rose globally, 2108 02:08:56,790 --> 02:09:00,120 you see he's had to England is flooding right now. Latin 2109 02:09:00,120 --> 02:09:03,180 America is warm. While California has a drought. We're 2110 02:09:03,180 --> 02:09:06,750 talking about instabilities caused by the erratic new 2111 02:09:06,780 --> 02:09:09,090 weather stream 2112 02:09:09,120 --> 02:09:11,760 what can be done about it, Professor? Ah, well, I think we 2113 02:09:11,760 --> 02:09:13,110 can actually do about it. 2114 02:09:13,530 --> 02:09:16,500 The bad news is that the North polarising that continues to 2115 02:09:16,500 --> 02:09:20,070 rise in temperature. It seems to be irreversible at a certain 2116 02:09:20,070 --> 02:09:20,460 point. 2117 02:09:20,850 --> 02:09:24,540 Where is where is the fact that in this, this isn't just not 2118 02:09:24,540 --> 02:09:25,110 true? 2119 02:09:25,500 --> 02:09:27,900 There's not affecting any of this. This is all supposition 2120 02:09:27,900 --> 02:09:31,260 and just knee jerk bullcrap. And I like to ask the question which 2121 02:09:31,260 --> 02:09:34,410 I asked every time you bring one of these idiots on here with a 2122 02:09:34,410 --> 02:09:39,900 clip. I thought, I think the first time I heard it was maybe 2123 02:09:39,900 --> 02:09:43,230 almost 10 years ago that if we don't do something this year, 2124 02:09:43,770 --> 02:09:46,830 first of all, we're doomed. The next year if we don't do 2125 02:09:46,830 --> 02:09:50,130 something this year, it's irreversible. We're doomed. If 2126 02:09:50,130 --> 02:09:53,160 we don't do something this year, it's irreversible. We're doomed 2127 02:09:53,160 --> 02:09:56,910 happens all the time. And now it's happening again. When are 2128 02:09:56,910 --> 02:10:02,880 we doomed? What's irreversible? If it was irreversible 10 years 2129 02:10:02,880 --> 02:10:05,580 ago? Why is it not irreversible? It's always gonna be. We're 2130 02:10:05,580 --> 02:10:09,360 getting near the end here. Yeah, just bother you. 2131 02:10:09,870 --> 02:10:12,060 Me? Yes, yes, we're doomed you 2132 02:10:12,060 --> 02:10:15,300 may have to get used to a new normal. That is a north polar 2133 02:10:15,300 --> 02:10:19,350 region that is melting, causing more instability in this bucket 2134 02:10:19,470 --> 02:10:23,070 causing more things to spill out, which means more extremes 2135 02:10:23,100 --> 02:10:25,980 some winters can be very mild. Yeah, other winters could be 2136 02:10:25,980 --> 02:10:26,820 horrendous. 2137 02:10:26,850 --> 02:10:29,820 And you say 2014 is the hottest. Listen, just 2138 02:10:29,820 --> 02:10:33,300 listen. Just listen it out, man. Listen it out. We have to help 2139 02:10:33,300 --> 02:10:36,660 people understand the need that they can laugh about the Jabra 2140 02:10:36,660 --> 02:10:37,770 Ionis it's on record. 2141 02:10:38,519 --> 02:10:40,769 It's shaping up that this year could be one of the hottest 2142 02:10:40,769 --> 02:10:44,969 years on record. The decade that just passed it was the hottest 2143 02:10:44,969 --> 02:10:47,129 decade ever recorded in history of science. 2144 02:10:48,000 --> 02:10:51,570 In the history of science ever since bones were invented. 2145 02:10:51,600 --> 02:10:54,450 You know if this physics thing doesn't work out, you can be a 2146 02:10:54,450 --> 02:10:55,080 weatherman. 2147 02:10:57,450 --> 02:11:03,210 Charlie Rose made a funny but there's something up with CBS 2148 02:11:03,210 --> 02:11:08,250 CBS is really pushing this right now. And I got an equally 2149 02:11:08,250 --> 02:11:13,200 disturbing report from the local Steve CBS station. And you 2150 02:11:13,230 --> 02:11:18,480 there's all these climate spokes holes that are around. They all 2151 02:11:18,480 --> 02:11:22,470 did. They're available and they're all professors somewhere 2152 02:11:22,470 --> 02:11:27,480 other. This guy what is his profession Hold on a second. 2153 02:11:27,840 --> 02:11:33,180 He's from I think Alabama. And his name is Terrell, what is his 2154 02:11:33,180 --> 02:11:43,200 name here? Matthew Thoreau. And he is he's not a meteorologist. 2155 02:11:43,650 --> 02:11:46,410 I have it here somewhere. I gotta look for what he is. But 2156 02:11:46,410 --> 02:11:49,800 he they pulled him as an expert onto a local CBS where they're 2157 02:11:50,220 --> 02:11:54,930 essentially doing the same package. He had dendro 2158 02:11:54,930 --> 02:12:01,410 chronology. What's dendro chronology? Well, let's find I 2159 02:12:01,410 --> 02:12:04,590 think that's the study of dead trees. Actually. That's probably 2160 02:12:04,590 --> 02:12:06,630 why it could be Yeah, that's probably why he's in bald guy 2161 02:12:06,630 --> 02:12:09,810 has a huge beard. So you know he's hiding something. A welcome 2162 02:12:09,810 --> 02:12:12,390 back in the recent winter weather only gives more fodder 2163 02:12:12,390 --> 02:12:14,760 for those who debate the validity of the global warming 2164 02:12:14,760 --> 02:12:16,380 and climate change argument. 2165 02:12:17,910 --> 02:12:21,840 You know where this is going. This is this is the the 2166 02:12:21,840 --> 02:12:26,220 propaganda, the anti prod the anti pill that we need to spread 2167 02:12:26,220 --> 02:12:29,550 locally to tell people that this cold weather it's just part of 2168 02:12:29,550 --> 02:12:29,640 the 2169 02:12:29,640 --> 02:12:32,370 heat and a recent article citing several scientists suggest our 2170 02:12:32,370 --> 02:12:36,240 planet could actually be in for a global cooling period. Dr. 2171 02:12:36,240 --> 02:12:38,760 Matthew Farrell is a Professor of Geography at the University 2172 02:12:38,760 --> 02:12:42,210 of Alabama. He joins us now live from our Tuscaloosa newsroom. 2173 02:12:42,240 --> 02:12:43,890 Doctor, good morning to you. Good morning. 2174 02:12:43,920 --> 02:12:47,670 They wait hold on a second. You picked us up in local affiliate 2175 02:12:47,670 --> 02:12:54,780 in Arkansas, or Alabama? I mean, it's from I mean, I always just 2176 02:12:54,780 --> 02:12:55,680 played in Austin. 2177 02:12:57,060 --> 02:13:01,800 No, this was not an Austin. I think this is Washington state. 2178 02:13:02,880 --> 02:13:06,690 Well, they don't have a play that back. There's no way 2179 02:13:06,690 --> 02:13:09,300 anybody in Washington state has a as a 2180 02:13:10,170 --> 02:13:12,990 let me let me let me find out who could be wrong? Hold on. Let 2181 02:13:12,990 --> 02:13:19,560 me find out. Let me find out if I can. I don't know where this 2182 02:13:19,560 --> 02:13:21,510 is from John. Let's listen again, we might be able to 2183 02:13:21,510 --> 02:13:21,720 figure 2184 02:13:21,720 --> 02:13:22,680 it out. So that is slide. 2185 02:13:23,190 --> 02:13:25,830 Back in the recent winter weather only gives more fodder 2186 02:13:25,830 --> 02:13:28,200 for those who debate the validity of the global warming 2187 02:13:28,200 --> 02:13:31,590 and climate change argument. And a recent article citing several 2188 02:13:31,590 --> 02:13:34,170 scientists suggest our planet could actually be in for a 2189 02:13:34,170 --> 02:13:37,920 global cooling period. Dr. Matthew Farrell is a Professor 2190 02:13:37,920 --> 02:13:40,890 of Geography at the University of Alabama. He joins us now live 2191 02:13:40,890 --> 02:13:42,750 from our Tuscaloosa newsroom, Dr. 2192 02:13:42,810 --> 02:13:45,990 Tuscaloosa. So where's Tuscaloosa? 2193 02:13:46,889 --> 02:13:48,629 Alabama? Tuscaloosa? Alabama? So 2194 02:13:48,630 --> 02:13:49,860 it's an Alabama report. 2195 02:13:51,300 --> 02:13:54,360 I'm pretty sure Okay, morning to be good morning could be Burma. 2196 02:13:54,360 --> 02:13:57,180 It seems like it depends on who you're talking to these days, 2197 02:13:57,180 --> 02:13:59,070 whether there's a difference between global warming and 2198 02:13:59,070 --> 02:14:02,070 climate change. Talking about the saying here? 2199 02:14:02,550 --> 02:14:05,100 Well, essentially, I mean, I think that that's an argument 2200 02:14:05,100 --> 02:14:07,890 that's sort of in the public realm, maybe in the internet, 2201 02:14:07,890 --> 02:14:08,130 but 2202 02:14:08,670 --> 02:14:11,970 pay attention, John, just in the internet, the stupid internet, 2203 02:14:11,970 --> 02:14:13,950 people think that that's something Yeah. 2204 02:14:16,200 --> 02:14:19,020 I've noticed that there are a lot of idiots on the internet. 2205 02:14:19,020 --> 02:14:21,630 They talk about stuff like that, but we're gonna be serious here. 2206 02:14:21,750 --> 02:14:26,010 It's not a it's not a serious it's not an important argument 2207 02:14:26,010 --> 02:14:27,690 going on in the scientific community. 2208 02:14:27,750 --> 02:14:31,170 No, not in the scientific community, which is different 2209 02:14:31,170 --> 02:14:33,270 from the LGBTQI community. 2210 02:14:33,300 --> 02:14:36,840 So when we get this harsh winter weather that we're getting now a 2211 02:14:36,840 --> 02:14:40,740 sceptics though the wonder, how could we be warming up the 2212 02:14:40,770 --> 02:14:42,330 earth? So what do you say? 2213 02:14:42,570 --> 02:14:47,820 I love how he how the package is written. Sceptics say. It's 2214 02:14:47,820 --> 02:14:51,000 everything this whole thing is written so beautifully to to 2215 02:14:51,000 --> 02:14:52,260 shout down people. 2216 02:14:52,470 --> 02:14:55,260 Well, I think that people need to remember that weather and 2217 02:14:55,260 --> 02:14:58,860 climate are different things and you can take what is convenient 2218 02:14:58,860 --> 02:15:04,020 for you one On whether event and I ascribe that to global change, 2219 02:15:04,020 --> 02:15:06,510 for instance, at the same time that we're experiencing really 2220 02:15:06,510 --> 02:15:09,330 cold weather. It's extremely warm in Australia. Yeah, it's 2221 02:15:09,330 --> 02:15:12,390 their summer douche. And so you can't 2222 02:15:12,390 --> 02:15:14,310 That is unbelievable. Yeah. 2223 02:15:15,060 --> 02:15:18,360 He's literally saying it's warm in Australia. Yeah, it's summer 2224 02:15:18,360 --> 02:15:18,930 there. 2225 02:15:19,530 --> 02:15:22,380 Yeah, it's also kind of warm in Panama a lot of times of the 2226 02:15:22,380 --> 02:15:23,100 year. Yeah, 2227 02:15:23,130 --> 02:15:24,450 it's very weird that way 2228 02:15:24,480 --> 02:15:27,210 can take one event and say that that has anything to do with 2229 02:15:27,540 --> 02:15:29,700 climate change or global warming, even 2230 02:15:30,180 --> 02:15:33,390 right now in a Forbes magazine article back in May of last 2231 02:15:33,390 --> 02:15:35,970 year, and this is my favourite piece. They cited noted 2232 02:15:35,970 --> 02:15:39,630 scientists from West Russia, meteorologists from Germany is 2233 02:15:39,630 --> 02:15:42,990 saying we're actually entering an era of global cooling caused 2234 02:15:42,990 --> 02:15:45,810 mainly by two factors, colver ocean water, 2235 02:15:46,080 --> 02:15:46,650 what are you doing? 2236 02:15:47,670 --> 02:15:48,480 I'm clapping, 2237 02:15:49,260 --> 02:15:53,940 cycling to the top every 20 to 30 years and decreased sunspot 2238 02:15:53,940 --> 02:15:57,570 activity. So there seems to be maybe some disagreement within 2239 02:15:57,570 --> 02:15:58,860 the scientific community. 2240 02:15:58,920 --> 02:16:02,610 Now, how are we going to address this, because this is the Nexus 2241 02:16:02,610 --> 02:16:05,910 this, I think we probably have people in our audience who have 2242 02:16:05,910 --> 02:16:09,780 seen this report on their local station, maybe with this guy, 2243 02:16:09,780 --> 02:16:13,500 even as the expert, because what happened is Forbes magazine 2244 02:16:13,500 --> 02:16:16,200 publishes an article saying looks like global cooling. And 2245 02:16:16,200 --> 02:16:21,510 they have scientists weighing in with their expert analysis just 2246 02:16:21,510 --> 02:16:25,290 as good or as bad as the IPCC, really. And this has to be 2247 02:16:25,320 --> 02:16:27,180 discredited. And this is how you do it? 2248 02:16:27,510 --> 02:16:30,840 Well, you know, that's a good point. That's something I talk 2249 02:16:30,840 --> 02:16:33,420 with my students a lot about, which is media literacy. And, 2250 02:16:33,810 --> 02:16:36,030 you know, the first thing I always tell them is to consider 2251 02:16:36,030 --> 02:16:39,210 the sources. And so for example, I don't think most people 2252 02:16:39,210 --> 02:16:42,720 consider Forbes magazine, a reputable source for climate 2253 02:16:42,720 --> 02:16:45,420 information. And if you look at the particular article that 2254 02:16:45,420 --> 02:16:49,110 you're referencing, that's an op ed piece. It's not a journalism 2255 02:16:49,110 --> 02:16:52,560 article. And so, you know, this isn't something that I would 2256 02:16:52,560 --> 02:16:56,490 consider a reputable source for discussing climate change. 2257 02:16:56,670 --> 02:16:59,580 Well, you know, he but the scientists, though he cited 2258 02:16:59,580 --> 02:17:02,760 there, they were obviously commenting on the Op Ed piece, 2259 02:17:02,760 --> 02:17:05,070 they were just mainly stating their data, their their 2260 02:17:05,070 --> 02:17:07,950 scientific research, or feeding their research. 2261 02:17:08,309 --> 02:17:11,189 Well, he actually referenced newspaper articles that 2262 02:17:11,189 --> 02:17:14,429 reference those scientists. So you know, if you really want to 2263 02:17:14,429 --> 02:17:18,119 understand it, you have to get to the original sources and look 2264 02:17:18,119 --> 02:17:21,179 at those, you know, like I say, it's, if you if you're really 2265 02:17:21,179 --> 02:17:24,599 doing studies on this, like my students would, for example, 2266 02:17:24,749 --> 02:17:26,879 that would not be a good source to look at. Yeah, 2267 02:17:26,879 --> 02:17:29,729 okay. All right. Good. So it's the wrong source wrong. 2268 02:17:29,729 --> 02:17:30,419 Scientists, 2269 02:17:30,450 --> 02:17:34,050 obviously. Yeah, his students would know better as kids 2270 02:17:34,080 --> 02:17:39,480 students would know that. Forbes is an idiot. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I 2271 02:17:39,480 --> 02:17:41,730 was good. i That's exactly the way to do it. You discredit the 2272 02:17:41,730 --> 02:17:44,460 source, right? You cut it off, and then you cut them off at the 2273 02:17:44,460 --> 02:17:45,120 knees. 2274 02:17:45,150 --> 02:17:49,260 Perfect. And yeah, and I do want to say about this whole thing in 2275 02:17:49,260 --> 02:17:53,430 the UK. This is not unexpected. What is happening there. And so 2276 02:17:53,460 --> 02:17:57,240 you these guys can say a million times is all freakish and whoa, 2277 02:17:57,240 --> 02:18:01,470 who knows? But in 2014 there before Yeah. I remember when 2278 02:18:01,470 --> 02:18:04,170 Britain used to people would highlight the are the A and the 2279 02:18:04,170 --> 02:18:06,870 i in the end of Britain, it would always rain. It was just 2280 02:18:06,900 --> 02:18:10,140 in the 70s like you go into Britain, rains ever hear of 2281 02:18:10,140 --> 02:18:15,450 London fog. It used to be the wettest place on earth the way I 2282 02:18:15,450 --> 02:18:21,300 remember it. Yeah, but I had this great article about 2283 02:18:21,360 --> 02:18:27,720 European Union policy introduced by the 2007 directive from the 2284 02:18:27,720 --> 02:18:31,500 Environment Agency, which is I think, introduced but published 2285 02:18:31,560 --> 02:18:35,490 fully in 2008 which then sought to increase the frequency of 2286 02:18:35,490 --> 02:18:41,100 flooding in this exact area. They knew this was coming they 2287 02:18:41,100 --> 02:18:43,920 knew that they could either make space for water this is all 2288 02:18:43,920 --> 02:18:49,050 agenda 21 stuff by the way of all of this, all of this this 2289 02:18:49,110 --> 02:18:53,250 luda cracy of not building up resistance to this area. The 2290 02:18:53,250 --> 02:18:56,310 whole point is to have these homes washed away. I'm quite 2291 02:18:56,310 --> 02:19:01,320 convinced about it when you read this article, and you see how 2292 02:19:01,320 --> 02:19:06,000 this this this area of the UK was really meant to be managed 2293 02:19:06,000 --> 02:19:10,290 to flood and all the documentation points towards it. 2294 02:19:10,290 --> 02:19:12,630 And now all of a sudden, where people are bitching and moaning 2295 02:19:12,810 --> 02:19:15,870 that bring in the Dutch who are just pumping it out with their 2296 02:19:15,900 --> 02:19:18,480 you know, this is what the Dutch should do very well. And oh, 2297 02:19:18,480 --> 02:19:22,620 yeah, maybe we should, you know, put some strategy in place. But 2298 02:19:22,620 --> 02:19:25,920 this is not unexpected. This This has been known since you 2299 02:19:25,920 --> 02:19:29,670 know, almost the mid 2000s that this this area was going to be 2300 02:19:29,670 --> 02:19:35,520 flooding. And now Cameron just walks around pretending like 2301 02:19:35,520 --> 02:19:39,750 yeah, oh, whatever. Oh, yes. We'll help them all out. It's 2302 02:19:39,750 --> 02:19:40,710 very disturbed since 2303 02:19:40,710 --> 02:19:44,550 we don't have we haven't had any major kind of even though I 2304 02:19:44,550 --> 02:19:50,250 still think there's one coming. Conflict conflagration In other 2305 02:19:50,250 --> 02:19:55,260 words, World War Two, where you get to bomb out all this old 2306 02:19:55,260 --> 02:19:57,630 stuff kill a lot of people in the process, but you get to bomb 2307 02:19:57,630 --> 02:20:00,750 it out and then rebuild this in a modern you know In modern 2308 02:20:00,750 --> 02:20:04,320 facilities, you gotta You still got to get rid of some of this 2309 02:20:04,320 --> 02:20:08,190 crap.

Americans 2312 02:20:15,450 --> 02:20:17,610 kind of think like that, because we don't really have anything 2313 02:20:17,610 --> 02:20:21,060 old, but they have stuff from the 16 and 1700s that is falling 2314 02:20:21,060 --> 02:20:24,060 apart, they just, but you can't just tear it down. Many of us 2315 02:20:24,060 --> 02:20:28,320 got special designations. Exactly.

No, no Yes, 2465 02:29:56,580 --> 02:29:58,530 they don't. What do they do? They actually most of their 2466 02:29:58,530 --> 02:30:01,560 money goes to operations like PBS ironically, 2467 02:30:01,590 --> 02:30:04,050 yeah, and if the Koch brothers are walking down the street, no 2468 02:30:04,050 --> 02:30:06,480 one would recognise them. So why don't we just pretend the crap 2469 02:30:06,480 --> 02:30:10,980 brothers are our Koch brothers? Okay, they're evil. And they're 2470 02:30:10,980 --> 02:30:14,820 funding evil crowd. Crowd brothers. Yes. And they're 2471 02:30:14,820 --> 02:30:24,930 funding our our anti science agenda. Yes, yes. All right, 2472 02:30:24,930 --> 02:30:27,480 grab your blade John, because we got two of these guys to 2473 02:30:27,510 --> 02:30:30,750 tonight. So there you go. Perfect. All right, crap brother 2474 02:30:30,750 --> 02:30:35,580 stepped forward, both of you and grant signer.

And we appreciate that and welcome you to the night and 2477 02:30:43,020 --> 02:30:46,710 Dane roundtable. I hereby pronounce the source plant 2478 02:30:46,710 --> 02:30:51,210 signer and certain nights of at night and bluegrass the evil 2479 02:30:51,210 --> 02:30:54,900 crown brothers all of you here the no agenda roundtable for 2480 02:30:54,900 --> 02:30:58,470 you. Red boys in Chardon, a Cuban cigars and single mouth 2481 02:30:58,470 --> 02:31:02,580 shots, hot pans and booze long had heavy metal guys and whiskey 2482 02:31:02,580 --> 02:31:06,390 and sparkling sparkling cider escorts mutton and meat. I've 2483 02:31:06,390 --> 02:31:10,740 had too much of it. The bong hits in bourbon must be working 2484 02:31:10,740 --> 02:31:15,840 on me. I go to Northern nation.com/rings. And of course, 2485 02:31:16,020 --> 02:31:19,830 the evil crowd brothers will each receive a ring, obviously. 2486 02:31:20,670 --> 02:31:23,430 Since they're in this together. Did you get a note from them? By 2487 02:31:23,430 --> 02:31:28,530 the way about the bread? What bread? Okay, one of them? Isn't 2488 02:31:28,530 --> 02:31:29,160 the bread business 2489 02:31:29,160 --> 02:31:30,270 gonna send you bread? 2490 02:31:30,960 --> 02:31:33,270 Yeah, they offered you to 2491 02:31:34,830 --> 02:31:38,100 see the note about bread. They make bread to bread makers. One 2492 02:31:38,100 --> 02:31:39,120 of them's a bread guy. 2493 02:31:39,630 --> 02:31:42,780 I don't think he's like a commercial bread guy. Like big 2494 02:31:42,780 --> 02:31:45,120 bread guy. Big bread, 2495 02:31:45,150 --> 02:31:48,810 I think big. Like a big, like big data. Only big bread, 2496 02:31:48,840 --> 02:31:54,510 big data, big bread. Yeah. So it makes like, like balloon bread 2497 02:31:54,510 --> 02:31:56,010 and those sorts of things. It's the mercial, 2498 02:31:56,040 --> 02:31:59,790 the evil crowd brothers and their bread Empire are funding 2499 02:31:59,820 --> 02:32:02,250 our funding our fossil fuel agenda. 2500 02:32:04,290 --> 02:32:08,430 Obviously, we're, obviously we're all in stages for the 2501 02:32:08,460 --> 02:32:11,820 fossil fuel industry. That's why we're so only promoted as 2502 02:32:11,850 --> 02:32:14,730 nuclear. But that's beside the point. Hey, told 2503 02:32:14,730 --> 02:32:18,900 me about in the newsletter, you wrote something about the unions 2504 02:32:18,900 --> 02:32:21,420 and the wages and the minimum wage, and you're going to bring 2505 02:32:21,420 --> 02:32:24,810 that up on the show today. So I'm reminding you to do this. 2506 02:32:25,800 --> 02:32:31,290 That's your fantastic setup. You didn't like? That's okay. No, I 2507 02:32:31,290 --> 02:32:33,450 would I thought one of the news items of the week that we didn't 2508 02:32:33,480 --> 02:32:36,270 discuss much I mean, especially when you compare it to play this 2509 02:32:36,270 --> 02:32:39,390 clip because it compares the way unions go in the United States 2510 02:32:39,390 --> 02:32:43,440 of America with the way they go in France play Uber in France 2511 02:32:43,500 --> 02:32:44,310 and karaoke. 2512 02:32:44,820 --> 02:32:48,450 Taxi drivers in France may have won their first fight and a long 2513 02:32:48,450 --> 02:32:52,020 fight battle. The government has suspended new registrations for 2514 02:32:52,020 --> 02:32:56,040 private chauffeur services like Uber. Parents made the decision 2515 02:32:56,040 --> 02:32:59,010 until it finishes talks with unions representing taxi 2516 02:32:59,010 --> 02:33:02,520 drivers, who have been striking since Monday. The crucial 2517 02:33:02,520 --> 02:33:06,090 stumbling block is taxis require a licence that cost more than 2518 02:33:06,090 --> 02:33:09,870 200,000 euros while private competitors have no fee. 2519 02:33:11,790 --> 02:33:13,950 She had a little flub in there by the way that was interesting. 2520 02:33:13,950 --> 02:33:16,020 I think it's under weird flub, can you play that? 2521 02:33:19,140 --> 02:33:22,770 Taxi drivers in France may have won their first fight and a long 2522 02:33:22,770 --> 02:33:23,970 fight battle to 2523 02:33:25,020 --> 02:33:26,940 fight fight battle thing 2524 02:33:27,180 --> 02:33:30,240 is like neuro linguistic programming but probably just a 2525 02:33:30,240 --> 02:33:31,680 flub. I did follow. 2526 02:33:32,940 --> 02:33:37,320 I signed up for Uber. I got the app I've never use the service 2527 02:33:37,560 --> 02:33:38,610 but the me see 2528 02:33:38,700 --> 02:33:41,430 buzzkill Jr. uses it daily. So I 2529 02:33:42,150 --> 02:33:44,910 I got the app and then immediately I'm getting spam 2530 02:33:44,910 --> 02:33:50,370 from them and news articles and and I did read about I think a 2531 02:33:50,370 --> 02:33:53,250 cab driver beat up an Uber driver or something this 2532 02:33:53,250 --> 02:33:56,490 happened weeks ago. This is not fresh. Okay. All right. 2533 02:33:57,420 --> 02:33:59,310 I think it may have been the lift guys though, because the 2534 02:33:59,310 --> 02:34:02,400 lift guys go around with that big pink moustache on their car. 2535 02:34:03,120 --> 02:34:06,390 And they are slightly different. They're more visible and they 2536 02:34:06,390 --> 02:34:09,630 get harassed more because of the big pink moustache. But as part 2537 02:34:09,630 --> 02:34:12,900 of the end this, it's a different system. When you go on 2538 02:34:12,900 --> 02:34:15,540 Lyft I wrote a column about this because I was fascinated by it, 2539 02:34:15,540 --> 02:34:18,780 because JC uses it. But when you go on Lyft you have to be a 2540 02:34:18,780 --> 02:34:20,910 conversationalist. In the end, you end the 2541 02:34:21,600 --> 02:34:24,240 drivers back up. But Lyft is an Uber like service because I have 2542 02:34:24,240 --> 02:34:25,770 no idea what you're talking about. I think 2543 02:34:25,800 --> 02:34:29,010 I think it was I think it might even predate Uber Ubers, a 2544 02:34:29,010 --> 02:34:31,500 little more polished, a little more venture capital A little 2545 02:34:31,500 --> 02:34:35,100 slicker, a little better cars. Lyft is really pretty much 2546 02:34:35,100 --> 02:34:40,110 anybody. And and it has a different model. And you pay, 2547 02:34:40,410 --> 02:34:42,720 you don't pay a fixed amount you pay what you think the guy 2548 02:34:42,720 --> 02:34:47,190 deserves. Oh value value is value for value. And so what 2549 02:34:47,190 --> 02:34:51,660 happens though, is that the Lyft drivers, and you rate each other 2550 02:34:51,930 --> 02:34:55,710 after the ride is over this. That's the lictors rate you as a 2551 02:34:55,710 --> 02:34:56,280 customer 2552 02:34:56,369 --> 02:34:59,249 I believe in this is the pressure. Yeah, no, this is the 2553 02:34:59,249 --> 02:35:03,089 future puking My car smelled like crap, you know, annoying. 2554 02:35:03,449 --> 02:35:04,229 Talk to me. 2555 02:35:04,770 --> 02:35:07,830 You like you rate each other before you receive each other's 2556 02:35:07,830 --> 02:35:13,140 ratings too. So you can lowball the guy and so he'll say that 2557 02:35:13,140 --> 02:35:16,770 you just guy stinks and he's you know, or whatever that you as 2558 02:35:16,770 --> 02:35:19,140 the customer or that you can say that guy's car was a piece of 2559 02:35:19,140 --> 02:35:22,590 crap and I would never be in it again, I get one star and it 2560 02:35:22,590 --> 02:35:25,260 would you but you can get blackballed. You can as a driver 2561 02:35:25,260 --> 02:35:27,750 get blackballed with too many of these, you know, negative 2562 02:35:27,750 --> 02:35:32,070 reviews and you can also get blackballed as a passenger is 2563 02:35:32,070 --> 02:35:35,310 very interesting and more like a slightly more advanced in some 2564 02:35:35,310 --> 02:35:38,550 ways, but Uber is more popular is trying to go all over the 2565 02:35:38,550 --> 02:35:40,620 world. So they go to France and of course, they this is where 2566 02:35:40,620 --> 02:35:43,050 you will get beat up because the French have these great remedies 2567 02:35:43,050 --> 02:35:45,750 unions in France. These taxi drivers didn't just go on 2568 02:35:45,750 --> 02:35:48,630 strike, they went out to the main freeways and just you know, 2569 02:35:48,630 --> 02:35:53,820 five across just stopped dead right? 100 deep. Yeah. Yeah, 2570 02:35:53,880 --> 02:35:57,540 well, the French we don't do don't do that. We are so anti 2571 02:35:57,540 --> 02:36:00,840 Union now in this country. And I was thinking about it because 2572 02:36:00,840 --> 02:36:04,440 they had this VW plant that tried to go UAW and the UAW is a 2573 02:36:04,440 --> 02:36:07,350 dying Union. It was a member of that union and at least two 2574 02:36:07,350 --> 02:36:08,310 different local let's 2575 02:36:08,310 --> 02:36:10,950 let's talk about what actually happened. So just set this up 2576 02:36:10,950 --> 02:36:15,630 for people around the world. So the the United Auto Workers 2577 02:36:15,630 --> 02:36:20,640 Union wanted to Unionise at the Volkswagen plant in 2578 02:36:21,720 --> 02:36:25,260 Charlotte, I think North Korea, North Carolina or Arkansas, I 2579 02:36:25,260 --> 02:36:27,990 can't remember exactly where what happens is in the south, 2580 02:36:27,990 --> 02:36:33,090 where they're generally anti union, okay. And they voted, 2581 02:36:33,390 --> 02:36:35,520 they thought it were going to win and without a lot of real 2582 02:36:35,520 --> 02:36:39,090 pressure, just not make the vote no, they voted no anyway. And 2583 02:36:39,090 --> 02:36:41,640 that was the end of it, because the UAW has been trying to get 2584 02:36:41,640 --> 02:36:46,770 all these, these so called their companies that come in from 2585 02:36:46,770 --> 02:36:49,140 like, Volkswagen comes in and builds a factory because it's 2586 02:36:49,140 --> 02:36:53,190 cheaper. And Honda's got factories down there. Toyotas 2587 02:36:53,190 --> 02:36:56,730 got factories, and so the these import cars that you buy in the 2588 02:36:56,730 --> 02:36:59,520 United States generally aren't really imported. The only thing 2589 02:36:59,520 --> 02:37:04,950 imported is the factory. Well, the way I see it is that I've 2590 02:37:04,950 --> 02:37:07,290 come to the conclusion, the only reason I wanted to bring this up 2591 02:37:07,290 --> 02:37:09,690 was I think that unions have outlived their usefulness in 2592 02:37:09,690 --> 02:37:12,000 this country, I think they worked fine and socialist 2593 02:37:12,060 --> 02:37:14,400 oriented company that countries like France, where people 2594 02:37:14,400 --> 02:37:17,370 actually get a job as a taxi driver take it very seriously. 2595 02:37:17,490 --> 02:37:20,220 They spent $200,000 for a licence, and they do this for 2596 02:37:20,220 --> 02:37:22,860 the rest of their lives. They're not trying to be you know, in 2597 02:37:22,860 --> 02:37:25,290 the United States, we're all thing I, I'm going to quit and 2598 02:37:25,290 --> 02:37:28,380 get get some financing from venture capital, I'm going to 2599 02:37:28,380 --> 02:37:32,760 start myself a mud pie company. Yeah, we have all these, you 2600 02:37:32,760 --> 02:37:36,570 know, these outrageous dreams that have been kept alive by the 2601 02:37:36,570 --> 02:37:40,860 Bs in the media. So I think the only I think the future for 2602 02:37:40,860 --> 02:37:44,130 unions in the United States is over, I think they're all dead. 2603 02:37:44,550 --> 02:37:46,980 And I think that the model is actually the syllabus for 2604 02:37:47,010 --> 02:37:52,620 success in terms of worker participation. And so far as by 2605 02:37:52,620 --> 02:37:56,550 participation, I mean, have some thing to do with you, whether 2606 02:37:56,550 --> 02:37:58,680 you like working or whether you're, you know, you have a job 2607 02:37:58,680 --> 02:38:03,510 and you're being mismanaged by people. How do you deal with it? 2608 02:38:04,020 --> 02:38:08,430 If there's no union? I think the model in Silicon Valley, which 2609 02:38:08,430 --> 02:38:11,880 is to just give you a piece of the company, so you're, you're 2610 02:38:11,880 --> 02:38:14,220 essentially read into the company, and if he had 2611 02:38:14,220 --> 02:38:17,070 mismanaged you can you have some sort of recourse as a part 2612 02:38:17,070 --> 02:38:21,000 owner, I think that's totally the future. Because the results 2613 02:38:21,000 --> 02:38:23,400 of that model, that Silicon Valley model where everybody 2614 02:38:23,400 --> 02:38:28,440 gets a piece of the action, has people working 16 hours a day, 2615 02:38:28,650 --> 02:38:32,400 it's rageous, because of the the carrot at the end of the stick, 2616 02:38:32,400 --> 02:38:35,820 and that's just seems like the future in such a in so many 2617 02:38:35,820 --> 02:38:37,980 ways. I just I've never seen anything work like that, that 2618 02:38:37,980 --> 02:38:43,710 works so well. And you're part of that system. I am. Well, you 2619 02:38:43,710 --> 02:38:46,230 were in startups, and you've seen these guys kill themselves, 2620 02:38:46,470 --> 02:38:49,170 you know, on the frontlines for them. Oh, yeah. Well, yeah. 2621 02:38:49,230 --> 02:38:52,860 Yeah. Well, so. So yes, I agree to a certain extent, I think the 2622 02:38:52,860 --> 02:38:58,920 startup culture, which is a Ponzi scheme, and you are of 2623 02:38:58,920 --> 02:39:03,000 course you're projecting you're on your own family so you see 2624 02:39:03,000 --> 02:39:07,500 buzzkill Jr, busting his ass 20 hours of 16 hours a day. And 2625 02:39:07,500 --> 02:39:12,810 yes, he's in a startup so he has a piece of the Ponzi scheme but 2626 02:39:12,810 --> 02:39:17,610 once the once this this level moves up, I either bought by 2627 02:39:17,610 --> 02:39:21,390 somebody which would usually be a Google that's pretty much what 2628 02:39:21,390 --> 02:39:24,450 everyone's looking for. And that's what the angel investors 2629 02:39:24,450 --> 02:39:28,590 and even the a round investors get in for is for that big pop. 2630 02:39:29,190 --> 02:39:33,930 Everyone after that is slave but but get slave wages and you get 2631 02:39:33,930 --> 02:39:40,080 this big promise of options. Yes, take these options, 2632 02:39:40,080 --> 02:39:43,110 there'll be worth something someday. And when you leave, you 2633 02:39:43,110 --> 02:39:48,960 got to buy them. So it's a Ponzi scheme and a scam. And I 2634 02:39:48,960 --> 02:39:53,280 actually like what you were talking about the lift model 2635 02:39:53,970 --> 02:39:57,300 that I believe is the future. The problem with with all these 2636 02:39:57,300 --> 02:40:01,290 companies is the company itself who Wouldn't some like it's the 2637 02:40:01,290 --> 02:40:05,460 same with Patreon, this value for value for the arts, 2638 02:40:05,790 --> 02:40:08,460 everything about it is right, except for the fact that there's 2639 02:40:08,460 --> 02:40:11,070 a company in the middle. That's the one thing that is 2640 02:40:11,070 --> 02:40:13,470 unnecessary. So I say that again, that everything is right. 2641 02:40:13,470 --> 02:40:16,410 But what except for the company that's running the service, 2642 02:40:17,400 --> 02:40:21,210 there's no reason we have to have companies that are going to 2643 02:40:21,210 --> 02:40:26,730 take all this money and create them and essentially, take the 2644 02:40:26,730 --> 02:40:31,770 value to enrich themselves. There's no reason if you run it, 2645 02:40:31,770 --> 02:40:34,950 like a co op, where it really what do you what do you need, 2646 02:40:35,340 --> 02:40:37,620 and when it comes to infrastructure to run Uber, 2647 02:40:38,070 --> 02:40:42,360 really, it's, you know, it's server infrastructure, that's a 2648 02:40:42,360 --> 02:40:46,890 co op thing. But instead, they are, they're creating all the 2649 02:40:46,890 --> 02:40:51,240 value and keeping that for themselves. I love the mutual 2650 02:40:53,100 --> 02:40:58,140 reputation systems. And there will not be a single person who 2651 02:40:58,140 --> 02:41:01,830 doesn't buy a car in the future, that well, there will be people 2652 02:41:01,830 --> 02:41:04,860 but I'm pretty sure you and I, John will buy cars based upon 2653 02:41:04,860 --> 02:41:07,590 the model that this thing is sitting there 70% of the time, 2654 02:41:07,770 --> 02:41:11,280 and I'd be happy for people to use my car and pay me for it. As 2655 02:41:11,280 --> 02:41:13,620 long as I knew who know who they are, and I can check up on the 2656 02:41:13,620 --> 02:41:17,190 reputation system. But that doesn't this whole idea that 2657 02:41:17,190 --> 02:41:20,010 that has to be accompany every single time that's monetizing 2658 02:41:20,010 --> 02:41:22,800 the network. And it's proven time and time again. It's 2659 02:41:22,800 --> 02:41:27,000 limited. And it works great for the big scams, you know, the geo 2660 02:41:27,000 --> 02:41:31,500 cities, the AOL cells, the Facebook's the Twitter's, they 2661 02:41:31,500 --> 02:41:36,540 will go away every single one of them, you know, my space? Well, 2662 02:41:36,540 --> 02:41:36,990 no, I 2663 02:41:37,020 --> 02:41:41,280 know I'm gonna I can't disagree with it's just because this is a 2664 02:41:41,280 --> 02:41:46,080 basic thesis of yours that has never wavered. And I can see 2665 02:41:46,080 --> 02:41:49,770 where you're coming from with this again. And I have to agree, 2666 02:41:49,770 --> 02:41:52,770 because I think a better example of that something extremely 2667 02:41:52,770 --> 02:41:58,530 successful, that doesn't really need any sort of centric, 2668 02:41:59,070 --> 02:42:02,340 corporate entity is LinkedIn. 2669 02:42:03,210 --> 02:42:06,420 LinkedIn, yeah. You Me saying LinkedIn doesn't really need to 2670 02:42:06,420 --> 02:42:10,230 have a central system or a central company? No, I 2671 02:42:10,230 --> 02:42:12,540 don't see what I mean, I know what they're doing. They are the 2672 02:42:12,540 --> 02:42:16,620 ones that created the network, and they created this. But why I 2673 02:42:16,620 --> 02:42:19,170 mean, why can't that be an open source thing, just like you're 2674 02:42:19,170 --> 02:42:20,520 describing for everything else? 2675 02:42:20,700 --> 02:42:27,090 Well, and this is why, when you have a system like RSS that 2676 02:42:27,120 --> 02:42:30,690 these companies set out to destroy it. This is why Google 2677 02:42:30,840 --> 02:42:34,560 turned off Google Reader. Because they saw the writing on 2678 02:42:34,560 --> 02:42:38,280 the wall, hold on a second. Everybody poops an RSS feed out 2679 02:42:38,280 --> 02:42:42,090 of everything these days, we have to stop this. That is that 2680 02:42:42,090 --> 02:42:46,110 would that could route around us being the connector. That's 2681 02:42:46,110 --> 02:42:48,780 exactly what that was about. That's why Twitter doesn't 2682 02:42:48,780 --> 02:42:53,070 support RSS feeds anymore. That's why Facebook barely they 2683 02:42:53,070 --> 02:42:59,100 had some little support. They are shunning. But even worse, 2684 02:42:59,100 --> 02:43:03,990 they get their corporate shills, Mike Arrington, and as all of 2685 02:43:03,990 --> 02:43:09,630 CNET if you Google RSS is dead? And that because these people 2686 02:43:09,630 --> 02:43:12,690 are maybe even paid? I don't know, to go out and say, Oh, 2687 02:43:12,690 --> 02:43:16,170 that's dead. Oh, it's all dead? Of course. So it's a fun thing 2688 02:43:16,170 --> 02:43:17,280 to say in tech land. It's 2689 02:43:17,280 --> 02:43:19,110 dead. Yeah. 2690 02:43:19,590 --> 02:43:24,930 And that was a concerted effort to kill it. And we will have to 2691 02:43:24,930 --> 02:43:29,490 somehow come up with you know, whatever we have to do. But the 2692 02:43:29,550 --> 02:43:30,390 gay I 2693 02:43:30,390 --> 02:43:34,050 just went to it. The number one the RSS is dead. I went just 2694 02:43:34,050 --> 02:43:36,600 Google it into TechCrunch TechCrunch. As the first two 2695 02:43:36,630 --> 02:43:40,920 articles, RSS is dead question mark is for percussion.com. 2696 02:43:40,920 --> 02:43:46,980 Never heard of them. Digital trend has it. But they're 2697 02:43:46,980 --> 02:43:49,260 talking tomorrow about the Google thing failing and being 2698 02:43:49,260 --> 02:43:52,860 alive didn't fail. Why aren't matters is the herd. So there's 2699 02:43:52,860 --> 02:43:58,080 some fighting going didn't fail. It got shut down. I mean, how 2700 02:43:58,080 --> 02:44:00,930 right how can that fail? They claim that's what that no, 2701 02:44:00,930 --> 02:44:01,980 that's what Google said. 2702 02:44:03,450 --> 02:44:07,140 Right? It failed, unlike what YouTube is making them so much 2703 02:44:07,140 --> 02:44:13,620 money? No, no, no, no, this is a concerted effort. And I believe 2704 02:44:13,620 --> 02:44:19,380 eventually, in the long run, they will not prevail. But as 2705 02:44:19,380 --> 02:44:23,190 you know, but then but as long as we're teaching children non 2706 02:44:23,190 --> 02:44:28,080 keyboard, shiny touch and swipe tablet consumption devices. 2707 02:44:28,500 --> 02:44:32,910 Yeah, we're it's going to be difficult. But I've really 2708 02:44:32,910 --> 02:44:37,380 turned my social network is much more email now. And somehow the 2709 02:44:37,380 --> 02:44:40,800 idea of hashtags in the subject line really stuck with people 2710 02:44:41,430 --> 02:44:44,790 that are really using that a lot. And it was funny 2711 02:44:44,790 --> 02:44:49,290 about that. If you remember when that first showed up. Twitter 2712 02:44:49,290 --> 02:44:52,650 was dead set against against de dri. Yeah, 2713 02:44:52,680 --> 02:44:56,730 exactly. Even the retweet RT even that is it was a user 2714 02:44:56,730 --> 02:45:00,330 developed thing. Right, but I just looked at my team All right 2715 02:45:00,330 --> 02:45:04,620 now I have number two hashtags snowed in effect, third email, 2716 02:45:04,620 --> 02:45:09,270 hashtag, Africa hashtag NGO, then I have six is hashtag 2717 02:45:09,270 --> 02:45:12,030 turkey. So what's happening is because people are used to the 2718 02:45:12,030 --> 02:45:16,290 idea of a hashtag, I'm finally getting descriptive subjects in 2719 02:45:16,290 --> 02:45:20,940 my email and emails a beautiful social network. You know, I can 2720 02:45:20,940 --> 02:45:25,890 block people. I can put them in the spam bucket, I can auto auto 2721 02:45:25,890 --> 02:45:29,670 reply, I can do all kinds of really interesting things. Yeah, 2722 02:45:29,670 --> 02:45:33,180 it's it's work. And it's, you know, there's others. It's a lot 2723 02:45:33,180 --> 02:45:35,760 of it's mixed up, but at least no one owns me. 2724 02:45:39,720 --> 02:45:42,000 Don't know how we get from there to you. But you're right. I 2725 02:45:42,000 --> 02:45:45,420 don't know either. Well, there's a good but it was very well 2726 02:45:45,450 --> 02:45:49,350 done. Whatever happened reserve segue, somehow, we talked about 2727 02:45:49,350 --> 02:45:53,460 bitching about RSS being not dead. I have one more thing I 2728 02:45:53,460 --> 02:45:58,770 want to bring up just I thought was interesting. Okay. This is 2729 02:45:58,770 --> 02:46:02,400 the because as you know, and most of the listeners have 2730 02:46:02,400 --> 02:46:04,830 listened the show for a while know that my thinking is that by 2731 02:46:04,830 --> 02:46:10,020 2020, there'll be a civil war in the EU, which will result in the 2732 02:46:10,020 --> 02:46:13,200 same old same old battle between Germany and France, you 2733 02:46:13,200 --> 02:46:17,640 mind if we just move that to 2030? Just to propagate our 20 2734 02:46:17,700 --> 02:46:21,330 for the purposes of our gimmick? Yeah, just just make it 2030. 2735 02:46:21,510 --> 02:46:22,920 And that also gives you a little bit of room. 2736 02:46:23,730 --> 02:46:26,430 Well, I guess I could say that it'd be there'll be a skirmish 2737 02:46:26,430 --> 02:46:28,890 in 2020 Because something is going to happen. And then the 2738 02:46:28,890 --> 02:46:32,280 world wars the big one because like the First World War was 2739 02:46:32,280 --> 02:46:36,360 just like a opening salvo and the big 110 years later, you 2740 02:46:36,360 --> 02:46:38,700 know, it happened. Works fine. 2741 02:46:38,700 --> 02:46:41,190 was fine. Okay. 20 by 20 years, yes. 2742 02:46:42,210 --> 02:46:45,810 German roots of descent. This is the beginning of the end. 2743 02:46:47,760 --> 02:46:50,550 Is this a clip I'm supposed to look for? Yeah, it says John. 2744 02:46:51,720 --> 02:46:53,670 I'm sorry. I saw I got it here gave me 2745 02:46:53,670 --> 02:46:57,210 the name Ana and who didn't want to be identified. Tell me how 2746 02:46:57,210 --> 02:47:00,480 grateful she is for the help the food bank provides. 2747 02:47:01,680 --> 02:47:05,070 I have everything here. Eggs, even fish bread. The little 2748 02:47:05,070 --> 02:47:08,010 things make a big difference. The money I get from the state 2749 02:47:08,100 --> 02:47:12,150 goes to keep the power on that most I have 150 euros a month. 2750 02:47:12,810 --> 02:47:15,450 I'm very happy to have this. Because of this. I can buy 2751 02:47:15,450 --> 02:47:16,350 clothes and live. 2752 02:47:17,250 --> 02:47:21,000 Some of those receiving handouts accuse Germany's politicians of 2753 02:47:21,000 --> 02:47:24,450 caring more for wider Europe than the German people 2754 02:47:24,480 --> 02:47:29,070 event of immigrants halfway part of Europe. We help you Why don't 2755 02:47:29,070 --> 02:47:32,550 you help us? We have hungry kids. But the government says we 2756 02:47:32,550 --> 02:47:36,030 should help immigrants that take more of them. We have to close 2757 02:47:36,030 --> 02:47:36,870 the open door. 2758 02:47:37,950 --> 02:47:40,980 Charity organisers say that they've seen a change in the 2759 02:47:40,980 --> 02:47:44,220 demographic of those coming to them for help. Doesn't matter. 2760 02:47:44,220 --> 02:47:45,570 My editor mentioned Swanscombe, 2761 02:47:45,570 --> 02:47:48,180 we've noticed an increase of older people, which is 2762 02:47:48,180 --> 02:47:51,060 unbelievable for us. Traditionally, old people in 2763 02:47:51,060 --> 02:47:54,270 Germany wouldn't ask for free food. Now they have no 2764 02:47:54,270 --> 02:47:57,540 alternative. So we see more people whose need has become 2765 02:47:57,540 --> 02:47:58,860 stronger than shame. 2766 02:48:00,240 --> 02:48:02,280 This is happening everywhere across Europe. 2767 02:48:02,340 --> 02:48:07,650 Yeah. And this is thanks to Bill Maher, by the way. Oh, so he's 2768 02:48:07,650 --> 02:48:12,840 just a jerk. So going back this is the overriding situation in 2769 02:48:12,840 --> 02:48:16,410 Germany is this clip which is Germans on well, a welfare ended 2770 02:48:16,410 --> 02:48:17,940 the numbers are kind of interesting. 2771 02:48:19,290 --> 02:48:23,220 Business is booming in Germany. But under the surface, there's a 2772 02:48:23,220 --> 02:48:27,240 surprising number of people failing to get anything from it. 2773 02:48:27,510 --> 02:48:29,400 The Harbin but when Sam Hartsfield says 2774 02:48:29,430 --> 02:48:32,220 we still have 6 million people on long term unemployment 2775 02:48:32,220 --> 02:48:36,900 benefits. That means almost one in 10 households live on 2776 02:48:36,900 --> 02:48:38,370 welfare Deutschland. 2777 02:48:38,730 --> 02:48:42,390 In fact, figures from the German Office of National Statistics 2778 02:48:42,390 --> 02:48:47,430 and Euro stats show that just over 16% of Germans are at risk 2779 02:48:47,460 --> 02:48:51,930 of falling into poverty. Compare that to the situation in France, 2780 02:48:51,960 --> 02:48:55,350 the Czech Republic or the Netherlands. And you see that 2781 02:48:55,350 --> 02:48:58,920 more people can potentially slip through the safety net in 2782 02:48:58,920 --> 02:49:02,940 Europe's economic powerhouse. This is see more and more 2783 02:49:02,940 --> 02:49:07,080 Germans turning to charities for help. This food distribution 2784 02:49:07,080 --> 02:49:07,740 centre 2785 02:49:07,740 --> 02:49:10,020 we're seeing this in the Netherlands as well. The food 2786 02:49:10,020 --> 02:49:12,870 banks are the it's really the big thing is where people just 2787 02:49:12,870 --> 02:49:15,810 going to get food. Yeah, and 2788 02:49:16,110 --> 02:49:19,200 it'd be an epidemic and throughout the EU. But the 2789 02:49:19,200 --> 02:49:22,860 numbers at least that they presented on this report, which 2790 02:49:22,860 --> 02:49:26,190 I think was on our tea or art if it was on our tea, but it may 2791 02:49:26,190 --> 02:49:28,050 have been on van cat 2792 02:49:28,050 --> 02:49:33,600 so they're really looking at a 14 to 15% unemployment rate. If 2793 02:49:33,600 --> 02:49:34,200 every one is 2794 02:49:34,590 --> 02:49:37,650 something like real, even higher rate of about 16 Maybe 2795 02:49:37,740 --> 02:49:42,360 so what happens what happens when we have all of Europe? The 2796 02:49:42,360 --> 02:49:45,000 real unemployment if you if you're looking at the US, let's 2797 02:49:45,000 --> 02:49:48,210 just we'd say youth unemployment would be 40 50% In some 2798 02:49:48,210 --> 02:49:48,960 countries 2799 02:49:50,220 --> 02:49:53,160 in Germany to is pretty high to what what 2800 02:49:54,000 --> 02:49:58,980 I mean, this can't be hard to look at and predict nothing but 2801 02:49:59,010 --> 02:50:03,510 darkness What what is going to have? I mean, what is going to 2802 02:50:03,510 --> 02:50:10,440 happen? What is this because we have the industrial period is 2803 02:50:10,440 --> 02:50:13,830 over and we just have a bunch of people who don't fit in with the 2804 02:50:13,830 --> 02:50:18,780 new Tino hipster model. I mean, what is going to happen? Where 2805 02:50:18,780 --> 02:50:21,660 are the jobs going to come from for these people? They're not. 2806 02:50:23,070 --> 02:50:27,150 Then we need to have a war. Yeah, that that is what the 2807 02:50:27,150 --> 02:50:28,530 elites have always done. 2808 02:50:30,750 --> 02:50:34,230 Yeah, they gotta wipe these people out, is because they've 2809 02:50:34,230 --> 02:50:37,230 already restructured the whole world essentially. So the old 2810 02:50:37,230 --> 02:50:41,580 manufacturing is in China. Yeah. In parts of Mexico. And here and 2811 02:50:41,580 --> 02:50:43,590 there. I mean, scattered around. But China's the ones got their 2812 02:50:43,590 --> 02:50:45,930 fancy factories that can really crank stuff out. I mean, they're 2813 02:50:46,410 --> 02:50:48,570 astonishing. Well, so 2814 02:50:49,380 --> 02:50:49,710 you have 2815 02:50:49,710 --> 02:50:52,200 all these, there's no more factories, there's no more work. 2816 02:50:52,530 --> 02:50:55,770 I always reminisce, I tell him stories about when I worked at a 2817 02:50:55,770 --> 02:50:58,590 factory. I've worked in a bunch of factories I had when I was in 2818 02:50:58,590 --> 02:51:02,040 high school, when I was in high school as summer jobs, I'd come 2819 02:51:02,040 --> 02:51:04,920 out with a lot of money and kids were buying cars with their own 2820 02:51:04,920 --> 02:51:08,520 money. Because they got to get during the summer time saved, 2821 02:51:08,640 --> 02:51:10,020 we saved our money. 2822 02:51:11,100 --> 02:51:14,250 And you could do all that you can't do any of that now and you 2823 02:51:14,250 --> 02:51:16,740 can't lecture people about it and you can't listen to right 2824 02:51:16,740 --> 02:51:22,020 wing talk shows. Go get a job. Go get a job doing what 2825 02:51:22,590 --> 02:51:25,170 McDonald's you have to wait in line to get a job there. That's 2826 02:51:25,170 --> 02:51:27,540 all you're doing is taking the lowest possible wage and I'm 2827 02:51:27,540 --> 02:51:29,550 making anything at that place when you were just to work at a 2828 02:51:29,550 --> 02:51:30,240 factory I 2829 02:51:30,240 --> 02:51:33,270 hear I hear your money. I hear Costco is a great place to to 2830 02:51:33,270 --> 02:51:34,800 work Costco, right. 2831 02:51:34,830 --> 02:51:37,080 That's what the programme so you get a job at Costco. You can't 2832 02:51:37,080 --> 02:51:38,160 do luck. Yeah. 2833 02:51:38,490 --> 02:51:42,210 Well, then I would say the only other way to do it is we have to 2834 02:51:42,210 --> 02:51:45,900 have some kind of pandemic we have to kill people in another 2835 02:51:45,900 --> 02:51:46,260 one. They've 2836 02:51:46,260 --> 02:51:49,170 tried to do that with them slipping in the bird flu that 2837 02:51:49,170 --> 02:51:50,610 remember that one? That's my favourite. 2838 02:51:50,760 --> 02:51:55,470 Let me the here's one. So this is a report. The Lancet The 2839 02:51:55,470 --> 02:52:00,900 Lancet that I would say the lancet is when it comes to 2840 02:52:01,860 --> 02:52:06,030 medical information. It's highly regarded. Lancet has a called 2841 02:52:06,030 --> 02:52:11,790 Lancet. I said Lancet. Yeah, the lancet Lancet, the Lancet. This 2842 02:52:11,790 --> 02:52:15,720 is what everyone points to when they say vaccines are safe and 2843 02:52:15,990 --> 02:52:22,650 correct the Lancet. Am I wrong? Or do you know anything about 2844 02:52:22,650 --> 02:52:23,280 the lancet 2845 02:52:23,280 --> 02:52:26,250 is one of the great medical journals. Yeah, thank you. Okay. 2846 02:52:27,510 --> 02:52:32,910 A new report, which came out on February 15, neuro behavioural 2847 02:52:32,910 --> 02:52:37,170 effects of developmental toxicity. And I have this report 2848 02:52:37,170 --> 02:52:42,270 in the show notes 5902 dot Ionis show notes.com. In 2006, they 2849 02:52:42,270 --> 02:52:44,820 did a systematic review and identified five industrial 2850 02:52:44,820 --> 02:52:52,470 chemicals as developmental neurotoxins. We postulate that 2851 02:52:52,500 --> 02:52:55,950 people should never be exposed to these, these chemicals should 2852 02:52:55,950 --> 02:53:02,400 not be presumed safe to brain development. At any time, these 2853 02:53:02,400 --> 02:53:06,450 include, I'm going to try and read some of these lead, 2854 02:53:06,480 --> 02:53:10,920 obviously, methyl mercury polychlorinated biphenyls 2855 02:53:10,950 --> 02:53:18,870 arsenic, and Choate toluene. Since 2006. epidemic, epidemic, 2856 02:53:20,070 --> 02:53:21,390 epidemiologists, 2857 02:53:21,690 --> 02:53:25,950 epidemiological studies have documented six additional 2858 02:53:25,950 --> 02:53:30,180 developmental neurotoxins. So these are six additional ones 2859 02:53:30,180 --> 02:53:33,810 that you should not have anywhere near you. They include 2860 02:53:33,900 --> 02:53:42,000 manganese chloro, chloro, Pirate phos, dye chloro dye phenol 2861 02:53:42,000 --> 02:53:46,650 trick to loafer the theme to others I can't pronounce and 2862 02:53:47,430 --> 02:53:54,360 fluoride. Oh, and what do we see here on the first thing that we 2863 02:53:54,360 --> 02:53:56,790 see in the news regarding fluoride 2864 02:53:57,810 --> 02:54:01,080 going Finally this week some new advice for parents the American 2865 02:54:01,080 --> 02:54:04,920 Dental Association says that a tiny bit of fluoride toothpaste 2866 02:54:04,920 --> 02:54:08,550 should be used to brush kids baby teeth. As soon as they come 2867 02:54:08,550 --> 02:54:11,160 in. China. I think a lot of parents normally try to avoid 2868 02:54:11,160 --> 02:54:13,020 this because they're worried their little kids might swallow 2869 02:54:13,020 --> 02:54:15,060 this. So why did the ADA make the change to 2870 02:54:15,060 --> 02:54:18,810 kill them? That's why to kill these little children. Give them 2871 02:54:18,810 --> 02:54:20,190 fluoride because 2872 02:54:20,190 --> 02:54:23,340 it turns out that a lot of kids are getting cavities 40% of 2873 02:54:23,340 --> 02:54:25,350 school kids and the more cavities you have as a kid, the 2874 02:54:25,350 --> 02:54:27,660 more likely you are to have cavities as a grownup, which is 2875 02:54:27,660 --> 02:54:32,160 also absolutely not true. It's behavioural is not medical. They 2876 02:54:32,160 --> 02:54:38,910 are literally promoting a neuro toxin. That hurts your brain as 2877 02:54:38,910 --> 02:54:42,840 per the lancet promoting that for two year 2878 02:54:42,840 --> 02:54:48,450 olds. Yeah, that's probably not a good good thing. No, yes. Or 2879 02:54:49,860 --> 02:54:51,630 is fluoride in March? 2880 02:54:52,530 --> 02:54:56,940 I find it fascinating. And this has to be part of this part of 2881 02:54:56,940 --> 02:55:01,020 the idea that we can the war is messy. Why don't we just poison 2882 02:55:01,020 --> 02:55:02,910 the kids to poison him to death? 2883 02:55:03,270 --> 02:55:05,580 Man, it's just this this you know, the thing is, is going to 2884 02:55:05,580 --> 02:55:08,040 be developmental. So the kids still going to grow up, he's 2885 02:55:08,040 --> 02:55:11,160 just gonna be dumb. And it's that which makes it easier to 2886 02:55:11,160 --> 02:55:13,830 kill them in a war but I think that there's gonna have to be 2887 02:55:15,660 --> 02:55:20,790 some it's just as it seems like, you know, this is kind of 2888 02:55:20,820 --> 02:55:21,810 insincere. 2889 02:55:24,510 --> 02:55:25,860 It's an insincere attempt, 2890 02:55:25,890 --> 02:55:29,040 this is a big this gonna be a dare just nothing. Unless they 2891 02:55:29,040 --> 02:55:31,860 come up with something, some invent, I don't know how you can 2892 02:55:31,860 --> 02:55:34,680 do it, there's no jobs. No, 2893 02:55:35,850 --> 02:55:37,050 there's not. And also 2894 02:55:37,050 --> 02:55:39,240 to all the countries that have done, you know, kind of gets 2895 02:55:39,270 --> 02:55:42,720 eaten through this economic situation or doing it through 2896 02:55:42,720 --> 02:55:47,010 financial services and services, you know, service industries and 2897 02:55:47,010 --> 02:55:50,220 all that sort of thing. I mean, Iran here yeah, there's there 2898 02:55:50,220 --> 02:55:55,890 are a moderate amount of industrial operations here in 2899 02:55:55,890 --> 02:55:59,010 there. I mean, there's paint mixing place down the street of 2900 02:55:59,010 --> 02:56:02,850 Zubair has got a facility in Berkeley, there's a they still 2901 02:56:02,850 --> 02:56:05,910 make a lot of stuff here and there as small, I think there's 2902 02:56:05,910 --> 02:56:08,910 gonna be a lot of craftsmanship, stuff that that will keep people 2903 02:56:08,940 --> 02:56:13,260 busy, there's stuff like, you know, completely off the off 2904 02:56:13,260 --> 02:56:16,230 beat new media stuff that we're doing. Right, right, right. 2905 02:56:16,770 --> 02:56:22,260 Which is not even on the list of things to do for anybody. And do 2906 02:56:22,260 --> 02:56:24,780 ya know, it's gonna be a huge war and it's gonna take place in 2907 02:56:24,780 --> 02:56:25,230 Europe. 2908 02:56:25,920 --> 02:56:32,130 And you're thinking same actors, Germany, and the rest. Germany 2909 02:56:32,130 --> 02:56:33,960 and France, France, really 2910 02:56:34,050 --> 02:56:36,060 is going to be interesting is how it breaks down because you 2911 02:56:36,060 --> 02:56:38,640 know, you'd always end up with the British getting involved 2912 02:56:38,640 --> 02:56:40,770 because they can't keep out of anything. And so they'll get 2913 02:56:40,770 --> 02:56:44,220 involved with the French and then the Germans because there's 2914 02:56:44,220 --> 02:56:46,740 more talented at this sort of thing they'll start kicking 2915 02:56:46,740 --> 02:56:50,070 their ass and we're gonna have to get involved to save or are 2916 02:56:50,070 --> 02:56:51,720 there's going to be all these other countries I don't know 2917 02:56:51,720 --> 02:56:54,660 what the Russians are going to do. Well, no, they're freaked 2918 02:56:54,660 --> 02:56:56,010 out about everything so they 2919 02:56:56,040 --> 02:57:00,750 if we if we believe in Smith, Smedley Butler's war is a racket 2920 02:57:01,200 --> 02:57:05,070 then this is the only logical way to go because that's how 2921 02:57:05,070 --> 02:57:08,970 money gets created industry comes back and every everything 2922 02:57:09,240 --> 02:57:10,920 it takes a while and it's messy 2923 02:57:12,720 --> 02:57:15,630 I'm gonna have to get some a clip of this or do a scanning or 2924 02:57:15,630 --> 02:57:21,180 something but in in one of William Manchesters books where 2925 02:57:21,180 --> 02:57:24,390 he discusses the beginning of most of this about Roosevelt and 2926 02:57:24,390 --> 02:57:28,680 he discusses the beginnings of World War Two and he has stats 2927 02:57:28,680 --> 02:57:32,130 on how many planes and ships we had and then how our 2928 02:57:32,130 --> 02:57:34,800 manufacturing cranked up and then what it was like two years 2929 02:57:34,800 --> 02:57:40,620 later it's it makes your hair stand on and how we went from 2930 02:57:40,620 --> 02:57:45,300 his kind of as funky country that was whatever to into the we 2931 02:57:45,300 --> 02:57:47,910 don't want to get involved the years a bunch of a holes we 2932 02:57:47,910 --> 02:57:52,800 don't want to deal with them to incredible I think 2933 02:57:52,800 --> 02:57:55,410 stinky eight holes was what we said the smelly 2934 02:57:57,270 --> 02:58:02,100 and it was like Wow, you got to see these numbers.

This is for the book club after the war. 2943 02:58:27,480 --> 02:58:29,940 There's lots of fun stuff we can do with science 2944 02:58:29,970 --> 02:58:33,840 does America oh its edge and military technology to Nazi war 2945 02:58:33,840 --> 02:58:36,990 criminals brought here after World War Two. An important new 2946 02:58:36,990 --> 02:58:40,470 book shows that while part of our technical edge was homegrown 2947 02:58:40,620 --> 02:58:45,030 part came from some 1600 Nazi scientists who tried to win the 2948 02:58:45,030 --> 02:58:48,750 war for Adolf Hitler. Operation Paperclip explores the secret 2949 02:58:48,750 --> 02:58:52,350 military programme that hired scientists who use slave labour 2950 02:58:52,350 --> 02:58:55,650 to build the v2 rocket and others who use concentration 2951 02:58:55,650 --> 02:58:58,710 camp victims for human experiments. For more. I'm 2952 02:58:58,710 --> 02:59:01,440 joined here in New York by Annie Jacobson, she's the author of 2953 02:59:01,440 --> 02:59:04,290 Operation Paperclip, The Secret Intelligence programme That 2954 02:59:04,290 --> 02:59:07,710 Brought Nazi Scientists to America Ania it's such a thought 2955 02:59:07,710 --> 02:59:11,460 provoking book, you start at the end of World War Two, when of 2956 02:59:11,460 --> 02:59:14,400 course the Americans and Russians are rushing towards 2957 02:59:14,400 --> 02:59:18,120 Berlin. And there's a different race going on trying to get a 2958 02:59:18,120 --> 02:59:20,880 hold of these Nazi scientists. Yes, we 2959 02:59:20,880 --> 02:59:25,650 were after what were called ABC weapons, atomic, biological and 2960 02:59:25,650 --> 02:59:26,190 chemical. 2961 02:59:27,900 --> 02:59:32,820 I think we nailed it. This is good. i This is the first kind 2962 02:59:32,820 --> 02:59:36,030 of mainstream publication that I've heard about recently of 2963 02:59:36,030 --> 02:59:37,320 Operation Paperclip. 2964 02:59:38,820 --> 02:59:42,480 He is getting back in the news. Some reason I'm not sure why 2965 02:59:42,540 --> 02:59:45,210 movie is getting geared up. We're trying to get the right 2966 02:59:45,210 --> 02:59:47,820 mindset. We've already militarised the United States of 2967 02:59:47,820 --> 02:59:51,570 America by making everyone you know, go through a rigmarole 2968 02:59:51,570 --> 02:59:54,930 just before any sort of an athletic event where you stand 2969 02:59:54,930 --> 02:59:57,420 up and you're just salute the flag and then there's a fly 2970 02:59:57,420 --> 02:59:57,840 over. 2971 02:59:58,590 --> 03:00:01,470 Don't forget the satellite. of the troops satellite shot of the 2972 03:00:01,470 --> 03:00:02,640 troops in Kandahar 2973 03:00:03,030 --> 03:00:06,930 satellite Shan they're all waving and they're in there is 2974 03:00:06,930 --> 03:00:10,890 all done. Now the most recent thing is they've gone from in 2975 03:00:10,890 --> 03:00:14,280 baseball games, they start off with a militaristic, which is 2976 03:00:14,310 --> 03:00:16,140 recent by the way people should look into this. They weren't 2977 03:00:16,140 --> 03:00:21,240 doing this around 1920. So they have the, you know, the national 2978 03:00:21,240 --> 03:00:23,550 anthem, and then on the seventh inning stretch where they used 2979 03:00:23,550 --> 03:00:26,400 to play I take a break for a minute or two where they 2980 03:00:26,430 --> 03:00:31,740 refurbish the infield with some scrapers. They used to sing Take 2981 03:00:31,740 --> 03:00:34,770 Me Out to the Ballgame. It was a tradition. They've dropped that 2982 03:00:34,770 --> 03:00:37,710 in most parks now and they sing America the Beautiful so they've 2983 03:00:37,740 --> 03:00:44,220 added a second second element of militarism into the baseball 2984 03:00:44,220 --> 03:00:46,140 game, which is supposed to be just something to sit in. 2985 03:00:46,530 --> 03:00:50,670 Something that you know laze around watching, which I found 2986 03:00:50,670 --> 03:00:54,360 was a little distressing. And you see that a lot. This America 2987 03:00:54,360 --> 03:00:56,430 the Beautiful there's no reason for this. We don't need to be 2988 03:00:56,430 --> 03:00:59,790 listening to the same two songs excessively. 2989 03:01:00,570 --> 03:01:02,760 You want to do a clip Blitz to get out of here. Are you done? 2990 03:01:02,760 --> 03:01:03,690 What do you Where are you at? 2991 03:01:04,530 --> 03:01:07,440 Well, if we do have if you want to hear some, here's, hold on. 2992 03:01:08,160 --> 03:01:14,820 We're gonna set it up right me? Yeah, 2993 03:01:15,660 --> 03:01:18,930 unreported news, Bahrain still going strong. 2994 03:01:19,529 --> 03:01:21,239 Bahrain, a string 2995 03:01:21,240 --> 03:01:24,930 of violent protests by Shia Muslims and Bahrain, marking the 2996 03:01:24,930 --> 03:01:27,540 third anniversary of the uprising against the Sunni 2997 03:01:27,540 --> 03:01:31,530 government. Several injured over a dozen detained as police used 2998 03:01:31,560 --> 03:01:35,730 tear gas. The unrest that began in February 2011 has been 2999 03:01:35,730 --> 03:01:39,720 violently suppressed with rather a lot of help coming in from the 3000 03:01:39,720 --> 03:01:42,120 ruling Maliki as a Gulf allies. 3001 03:01:44,010 --> 03:01:47,160 I think we should do like Libya, they do not no fly zone and go 3002 03:01:47,190 --> 03:01:48,780 go get those by Iranians. 3003 03:01:48,930 --> 03:01:51,930 This has been going on forever. It never gets reported to us 3004 03:01:51,930 --> 03:01:55,320 media, but it's been going on forever. Another non real hold 3005 03:01:55,320 --> 03:01:55,650 on hold 3006 03:01:55,650 --> 03:01:56,670 on hold on another non 3007 03:01:56,670 --> 03:02:02,910 reporting back and forth. Okay, it's not just all you, man, 3008 03:02:03,660 --> 03:02:06,750 three clips 33, clip Blitz, Blitz, 3009 03:02:06,780 --> 03:02:11,040 Syria, it's been a week where there was some rare good news, 3010 03:02:11,250 --> 03:02:15,060 food and medicine finally went into the besieged or quarter of 3011 03:02:15,060 --> 03:02:19,620 palms. And more than 1000 people were brought out during a 3012 03:02:19,620 --> 03:02:23,550 temporary truce between rebel fighters and the government. But 3013 03:02:23,550 --> 03:02:27,120 resolving serious deep humanitarian crisis needs a 3014 03:02:27,120 --> 03:02:31,980 political solution that helped push the warring parties to 3015 03:02:31,980 --> 03:02:35,970 attend peace talks in Geneva. But the second round ended today 3016 03:02:36,060 --> 03:02:37,470 in complete failure, 3017 03:02:38,310 --> 03:02:44,310 failure failure, everything's failed. I wonder why Kerry's not 3018 03:02:44,310 --> 03:02:50,130 out there saying hey, I suck. Sorry. Didn't work. What I mean, 3019 03:02:50,160 --> 03:02:54,570 well, so remember now that the the chemical weapons apparently 3020 03:02:54,570 --> 03:02:58,230 we're all going to be gone. And you had the Geneva one protocol 3021 03:02:58,230 --> 03:03:01,440 which called for Assad to step down. Then they came back for 3022 03:03:01,440 --> 03:03:05,100 Geneva to protocol. And then the guy said, well, but this is 3023 03:03:05,130 --> 03:03:08,580 based on one which means you still have to go and then Assad 3024 03:03:08,580 --> 03:03:10,980 said but hold on. I gave him my weapons. Why do I have to go? 3025 03:03:11,610 --> 03:03:15,540 And now it's all failed again. So the verbalization continues? 3026 03:03:16,020 --> 03:03:16,680 Exactly. 3027 03:03:20,040 --> 03:03:20,850 BlueJ 3028 03:03:21,990 --> 03:03:26,010 southern Bulgaria hit it. All right. 3029 03:03:27,060 --> 03:03:30,360 To southern Bulgaria, where far right protesters clashed with 3030 03:03:30,360 --> 03:03:33,960 police after proceeding a mosque. Over 100 demonstrators 3031 03:03:33,960 --> 03:03:37,590 arrested after hurling rocks and bottles at security forces and 3032 03:03:37,590 --> 03:03:41,160 smashing the building's windows. Local anger was sparked by a 3033 03:03:41,160 --> 03:03:44,850 decision to reopen the site as an active place of worship. It 3034 03:03:44,850 --> 03:03:47,340 had been used for secular purposes since the country 3035 03:03:47,340 --> 03:03:52,860 became communist in 1944. Yeah, 3036 03:03:53,610 --> 03:03:56,910 yeah. Bulgaria let's put it on the list of countries to watch 3037 03:03:56,910 --> 03:03:57,210 rebel 3038 03:03:57,330 --> 03:04:00,930 rehabilitation list. regularisation has begun through 3039 03:04:00,930 --> 03:04:04,680 through Facebook kills Oh, it 3040 03:04:04,680 --> 03:04:07,590 started for some of the drinking game has already begun to claim 3041 03:04:07,590 --> 03:04:11,790 lives for victims so far, all young men. The premise of the 3042 03:04:11,790 --> 03:04:15,300 game called Nick nominate is simple. Someone films themselves 3043 03:04:15,300 --> 03:04:19,140 down in a large drink and post the video on social media. After 3044 03:04:19,140 --> 03:04:22,080 that, they nominate a friend to outdo them. And if the nominee 3045 03:04:22,080 --> 03:04:25,470 doesn't respond, they are ridiculed on their Facebook wall 3046 03:04:25,500 --> 03:04:26,310 or on a Twitter 3047 03:04:26,340 --> 03:04:29,220 bullied. It's very difficult in this day of personal liberties 3048 03:04:29,220 --> 03:04:31,950 to say that Facebook shouldn't be condoning this, it should be 3049 03:04:31,950 --> 03:04:34,890 taking these videos offline. Personally, I'd like to see that 3050 03:04:34,890 --> 03:04:37,800 happening because frankly, if the thrill wasn't there, because 3051 03:04:37,800 --> 03:04:41,430 your mates weren't seeing you, I suspect it would very rapidly 3052 03:04:41,430 --> 03:04:41,910 fizzle out. 3053 03:04:42,150 --> 03:04:46,200 I think this is another part of a fine campaign. You hook them 3054 03:04:46,200 --> 03:04:49,440 up with the fluoride early on. Then you get them to drink 3055 03:04:49,440 --> 03:04:53,040 themselves into a stupor in their teens. Then you get them 3056 03:04:53,040 --> 03:04:57,960 on the meds and get them to OD on heroin in their 30s. Who 3057 03:04:57,960 --> 03:04:58,800 needs more it 3058 03:04:58,800 --> 03:05:04,830 does It's too little too late. All right, 3059 03:05:05,730 --> 03:05:06,450 one more. 3060 03:05:06,990 --> 03:05:11,910 Well, my favourite clip is this one Bart cops at work. Okay. 3061 03:05:13,349 --> 03:05:16,199 And what Bart is admitting tonight, Kristen? 3062 03:05:17,940 --> 03:05:21,060 Yeah Burt's police chief telling us today that the officer who 3063 03:05:21,060 --> 03:05:25,080 tased a man on the train here at San Bruno BART station was doing 3064 03:05:25,080 --> 03:05:30,510 his job. You cell phone video shows it up close. The BART 3065 03:05:30,510 --> 03:05:36,390 officer warns a man of what he is about to do. And he teases 3066 03:05:36,390 --> 03:05:40,200 him. It happened the night of January 29. Someone called Bert 3067 03:05:40,200 --> 03:05:43,800 police to complain that this man was drunk and harassing writers. 3068 03:05:43,890 --> 03:05:47,160 When an officer tracks the man down on the train. He repeatedly 3069 03:05:47,160 --> 03:05:54,780 asked him to get off. The man who has now been identified as 3070 03:05:54,780 --> 03:06:00,210 Robert Asbury doesn't listen. So he's tased once and minutes 3071 03:06:00,210 --> 03:06:04,110 later when he's on the ground again for five full seconds. 3072 03:06:07,110 --> 03:06:13,230 Taste again. As you saw in the video, the officer was extremely 3073 03:06:13,230 --> 03:06:13,770 patient 3074 03:06:13,890 --> 03:06:18,120 first police chief. The Office patient does not take the tasing 3075 03:06:18,120 --> 03:06:21,630 is fairly new. But he defended the officer's actions saying 3076 03:06:21,660 --> 03:06:23,820 even the second teasing seemed reasonable. 3077 03:06:24,300 --> 03:06:27,600 saw the subject still kicking struggling with the officer. We 3078 03:06:27,600 --> 03:06:27,900 also 3079 03:06:27,900 --> 03:06:31,110 showed the video to Don camera and a former BART police officer 3080 03:06:31,110 --> 03:06:32,940 who is now a tactical trainer. 3081 03:06:33,000 --> 03:06:37,320 I think both tastings were appropriate simply because you 3082 03:06:37,320 --> 03:06:37,710 will listen 3083 03:06:38,490 --> 03:06:41,430 to people on don't listen to me. You don't listen, it's 3084 03:06:41,430 --> 03:06:44,190 appropriate for me to shoot electricity through you 3085 03:06:44,220 --> 03:06:47,730 for the train that day do not agree. In that video they can be 3086 03:06:47,760 --> 03:06:51,930 heard telling the officer that Asbury did nothing wrong. was 3087 03:06:51,930 --> 03:06:55,440 sitting next to him insisted as Barry was harmless he should 3088 03:06:55,440 --> 03:06:58,770 have complied. But San Francisco resident Benito Taylor told us 3089 03:06:58,770 --> 03:07:01,950 that does not justify what the officer did next. 3090 03:07:02,070 --> 03:07:06,570 I don't think the second tase was necessary was already a 3091 03:07:06,570 --> 03:07:07,830 painting is down. 3092 03:07:10,950 --> 03:07:16,410 I love that we will have the entire world go into a tizzy 3093 03:07:16,860 --> 03:07:23,460 over some zoo that killed the giraffe. Or some stray dogs that 3094 03:07:23,460 --> 03:07:28,140 are going to be picked up. And everyone's all freaking out. But 3095 03:07:28,410 --> 03:07:28,740 oh, 3096 03:07:28,740 --> 03:07:32,400 I think you know one Tears was okay. You know, it was a second 3097 03:07:32,400 --> 03:07:35,700 one. I think it was a valid tasing. I think that's all 3098 03:07:35,700 --> 03:07:38,310 right. Shoot some electricity. So that guy with hooks with 3099 03:07:38,310 --> 03:07:41,790 metal hooks into his skin. You know, I think that's okay. 3100 03:07:41,940 --> 03:07:44,670 Taser, taser, taser. Ah, 3101 03:07:45,420 --> 03:07:47,910 wow, that is that guy was 3102 03:07:48,330 --> 03:07:50,700 the reason I like that clips because the guy was barking at 3103 03:07:50,700 --> 03:07:53,790 the guy like the TSA people used to bark at you that you always 3104 03:07:53,790 --> 03:07:54,690 bitched about Yeah, 3105 03:07:54,690 --> 03:07:55,980 oh, but this this 3106 03:07:55,980 --> 03:07:59,100 is not patients.

We can 3143 03:10:19,950 --> 03:10:24,210 go to Pyongyang and surroundings, which you get 3144 03:10:24,210 --> 03:10:26,400 visit three most important cities of the country get to 3145 03:10:26,400 --> 03:10:30,510 understand the country and its society. observe their way of 3146 03:10:30,510 --> 03:10:34,440 life, or you can do a week in the past, which is 1900 euros 3147 03:10:34,470 --> 03:10:38,850 live a unique experience for the world's most hermetic country. 3148 03:10:39,870 --> 03:10:43,590 Visit the country under the purest communism. Whoo. And then 3149 03:10:43,590 --> 03:10:46,020 you could do Pyongyang, the capital of communism, that's 3150 03:10:46,020 --> 03:10:47,370 three days and two nights. 3151 03:10:48,300 --> 03:10:52,320 I said, you know, there's gonna cost about a grand for some of 3152 03:10:52,320 --> 03:10:54,600 these things. I think this would be you probably could do this 3153 03:10:54,600 --> 03:10:56,790 trip for about $1,000 If you can get there. 3154 03:10:56,940 --> 03:10:59,310 But I'd like to congratulate you. And I think you can pull 3155 03:10:59,310 --> 03:11:03,420 this out. I mean, it's fact you are right on North Korea wants 3156 03:11:03,420 --> 03:11:07,020 to be a tourist destination. And then their marketing. They're 3157 03:11:07,020 --> 03:11:09,420 actually marketing. They're out there getting getting the word 3158 03:11:09,420 --> 03:11:10,890 out. I think it's really good. It's 3159 03:11:10,890 --> 03:11:13,920 fantastic. I think I can probably put this back about 3160 03:11:13,920 --> 03:11:16,380 four years when I first bitched and moaned about wanting to 3161 03:11:16,380 --> 03:11:19,560 drink Bordeaux. And after I saw the vice thing, and they had all 3162 03:11:19,560 --> 03:11:22,080 these tourist things, even though they're all empty. You 3163 03:11:22,080 --> 03:11:24,990 don't set up a big tourist attraction because you just want 3164 03:11:24,990 --> 03:11:27,780 to kill empty. You wanted to bring tourists. Yes. 3165 03:11:28,320 --> 03:11:31,230 You wanted and I bet it's a beautiful country. I bet his 3166 03:11:31,230 --> 03:11:34,200 beautiful. Oh, it's untouched. Yeah. 3167 03:11:34,560 --> 03:11:36,690 It's the light that say on this website. Is that the final the 3168 03:11:36,690 --> 03:11:39,060 last frontier or something that have some? Yeah, 3169 03:11:39,060 --> 03:11:43,530 there'll be no billboards. Horrible. McDonald signs. 3170 03:11:43,530 --> 03:11:46,080 There's no McDonald's. Let's face it. There's no jack in the 3171 03:11:46,080 --> 03:11:48,510 box. There will be 10 years from now. But right now it's probably 3172 03:11:48,540 --> 03:11:49,590 pristine. 3173 03:11:51,090 --> 03:11:57,030 Experience North Korea, the untouched final frontier. Its 3174 03:11:57,030 --> 03:12:00,570 beauty great, was beautiful. So everyone can enjoy that. And 3175 03:12:00,570 --> 03:12:05,160 then then we had a little bit of an argument about this. It 3176 03:12:05,160 --> 03:12:08,790 appears the accomplices everyone was referring to regarding 3177 03:12:08,820 --> 03:12:14,160 Edward J. Snowden, unknown to many in Congress as Edwin or 3178 03:12:14,160 --> 03:12:18,450 Eric because that's how our Congress is paying attention. 3179 03:12:19,200 --> 03:12:22,680 Looks like the the accomplices are being targeted. And we'll 3180 03:12:22,680 --> 03:12:25,110 hear about who they are soon take 3181 03:12:25,320 --> 03:12:29,250 this February 10 memo from the National Security Agency to 3182 03:12:29,250 --> 03:12:33,420 members of Congress detailing to some great extent what they 3183 03:12:33,420 --> 03:12:36,180 believe now is happening and what they're saying to Congress 3184 03:12:36,180 --> 03:12:40,980 his there was an NSA civilian who Snowden apparently got to 3185 03:12:40,980 --> 03:12:45,510 enter his the civilians password into computers Snowden was using 3186 03:12:45,510 --> 03:12:49,500 the person did not know of course, he says that Snowden was 3187 03:12:49,500 --> 03:12:54,240 going to steal information from the NSA database has entered his 3188 03:12:54,240 --> 03:12:57,510 password and Snowden, unbeknownst to him, is able to 3189 03:12:57,510 --> 03:13:02,340 capture that password and use it. That civilian who is not 3190 03:13:02,340 --> 03:13:06,750 identified now has left the employment of the NSA, the NSA 3191 03:13:06,750 --> 03:13:10,770 says that it is informed the Justice Department of all of 3192 03:13:10,770 --> 03:13:14,550 this no information about what will happen next, the memo 3193 03:13:14,550 --> 03:13:19,110 pretty tantalising because it also says there is a contractor 3194 03:13:19,140 --> 03:13:23,670 and an active duty member of the US military also caught up in 3195 03:13:23,670 --> 03:13:26,520 all of this, but the NSA same, it's going to leave it to their 3196 03:13:26,520 --> 03:13:31,260 employers to deal with it. So perhaps more to come. All of 3197 03:13:31,260 --> 03:13:34,680 this, of course, a massive security violation. And it 3198 03:13:34,680 --> 03:13:37,350 begins to explain how some of this happened. 3199 03:13:37,440 --> 03:13:41,490 Yes. And I think it starts to put the strategy into clearer 3200 03:13:41,490 --> 03:13:48,300 view of calling Snowden a thief. By saying he didn't have access 3201 03:13:48,300 --> 03:13:54,450 to this, he stole the documents. So this very different legal 3202 03:13:54,450 --> 03:13:56,280 scenario that is compliant, it 3203 03:13:56,760 --> 03:14:01,170 puts your buddy Glenn green balls into a bind because he 3204 03:14:01,170 --> 03:14:01,380 ain't 3205 03:14:01,380 --> 03:14:05,070 by now. Now. He truly is offence of stolen material. You're 3206 03:14:05,070 --> 03:14:09,600 absolutely right. So we both were eautiful we both win. And 3207 03:14:09,600 --> 03:14:12,840 it's a set of beautiful. It's a setup though. It's so obvious 3208 03:14:12,840 --> 03:14:17,820 because first we have douchebag Rogers trying to get Comey the 3209 03:14:17,820 --> 03:14:22,890 FBI guy who's new, let's face it, to say yes, if you if you 3210 03:14:23,310 --> 03:14:27,150 are a whistleblower and you stole a dress, then you're a 3211 03:14:27,150 --> 03:14:30,090 thief. If you're a whistleblower, but you stole the 3212 03:14:30,090 --> 03:14:33,540 documents, then you are a thief. And if you sell those documents, 3213 03:14:33,540 --> 03:14:38,580 you are fencing. So if you did not so it's a very specific 3214 03:14:38,580 --> 03:14:41,670 difference between having access to the documents and saying, 3215 03:14:41,670 --> 03:14:46,890 Whoa, this is wrong what's going on or stealing the documents? 3216 03:14:48,600 --> 03:14:53,040 Then that isn't that will not that will put Snowden outside of 3217 03:14:53,040 --> 03:15:00,750 the whistleblower category and place him firmly in To the thief 3218 03:15:00,750 --> 03:15:01,650 category 3219 03:15:05,790 --> 03:15:08,460 well, it changes a lot of premises because Snowden was 3220 03:15:08,490 --> 03:15:11,760 always sold to the American public as the guy who had 3221 03:15:11,760 --> 03:15:15,270 access. And that was a it was scandalous that he had access. 3222 03:15:15,270 --> 03:15:17,400 And now that if he didn't have access, and he just stole a 3223 03:15:17,400 --> 03:15:20,430 password and went in, this changes the whole thing, just 3224 03:15:20,430 --> 03:15:22,500 gonna take a lot of work to straighten this out 3225 03:15:22,560 --> 03:15:26,520 it i think i think it's and it's so clear that you can set this 3226 03:15:26,520 --> 03:15:29,040 up, it's easy to get some other civilian to say, yeah, no, I 3227 03:15:29,040 --> 03:15:32,970 gave that to him. Yeah. And some of the active member of the DOD. 3228 03:15:33,660 --> 03:15:39,150 Yeah, yeah. He find some students to do that. Well, okay. 3229 03:15:39,180 --> 03:15:40,500 I think we've gone too long. 3230 03:15:41,610 --> 03:15:43,230 Dude, we've gone way too. So be back in the 3231 03:15:43,230 --> 03:15:44,400 conversation. I'm sure. 3232 03:15:45,870 --> 03:15:49,050 It's I think that's going to be one of the major focus eyes of 3233 03:15:49,050 --> 03:15:50,100 the coming week. 3234 03:15:50,940 --> 03:15:54,690 Probably that end that we got it. Just funny that mainstream 3235 03:15:54,690 --> 03:15:56,910 media hasn't picked up on this North Korea thing. 3236 03:15:57,420 --> 03:16:00,360 The again, the experience North Korea trips, 3237 03:16:00,510 --> 03:16:10,710 yeah. Dynamite. Yes, perfect. To get there's that ex that 3238 03:16:10,710 --> 03:16:14,880 interested Vice magazine used to China, I think was the way to go 3239 03:16:14,880 --> 03:16:16,890 because you get your documents right there on the spot. 3240 03:16:17,160 --> 03:16:20,130 Right. And you're good to go. Well, yeah, although they seem 3241 03:16:20,130 --> 03:16:22,050 to be steering clear of all things China, which is 3242 03:16:22,050 --> 03:16:25,080 interesting. I'm not sure. 3243 03:16:25,200 --> 03:16:30,060 Not sure. Yeah, that's weird, too. Well, we'll figure it out. 3244 03:16:30,570 --> 03:16:31,710 Figure it out and take the visit. 3245 03:16:31,740 --> 03:16:35,130 We're definitely going to do our best and we will continue to do 3246 03:16:35,130 --> 03:16:38,550 that for you on Thursday.
