Hey, Adam curry, John C. Dvorak. It's Thursday, August 2 2012.
Time for your getting donation media assassination episode 431.
This is no agenda. Park in the shadow of North calm smack in
the middle of the real government headquarters Denver,
Colorado in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry
and from Northern Silicon Valley where there is no such place.
I'm John C. Dvorak. Buzzkill.
You're telling me there's nothing in these mountains here.
There's nothing there. Nothing to see here. Nothing to see
here. That's right over here. Nothing to see. Look at that. By
the way. Those slogans are still on the scene being and and
Mustang Sally.
Yeah. Good. I hope people get a kick out of it.
Oh, I have to mention we're actually in Erie. Erie URI
pencil Erie, Indiana, Erie, Colorado, Colorado. N E, R, I,
E, one, E R, i, e, o. And we are right in the flight path of a
small airport here. So from time to time, you'll hear someone
coming over Do not be alarmed.
As long as it doesn't hit the thing. You hook who you hooked
up to what are you doing?
Okay. Well, shall I give you a little summary of the past few
days since we last spoke?
You might as well give us a rundown. Okay.
I mean, I hope I don't bore you or anything.
No, no, I think if people are interested to a point.
Okay, so, thanks. When we last spoke, where was I? I was in we
last
spoke. I was in Dallas,
Dallas, Texas, right. So we left Dallas and we drove to Kansas.
And we parked European in Kansas
today. No, no, no. I
mean, wait, look, let me give you this for days. Come on for
days, John.
Yeah, well, I know you can drive across the whole country in four
days if you just get in the thing and stomp on it and go and
go and go and go and go. Yeah,
so that's not much of an option. And let me explain. So we drove
to Kansas, towards Wichita, where producer John Leonard with
his wonderful wife Mary and his son, John Jr. Amazing guy again,
John and Mary, John John and Mary was actually there. They're
29th wedding anniversary, which they for four they gave up to
take us out to dinner to entertain us maybe after 29
years Maybe no one cares. I don't Yeah, it
probably 30
I'm just saying. And on the way up the basically the tailpipe
and the muffler all kind of fell off Mustang Sally, which gave us
a lot of tailpipe and the muffler fell off, it
kind of took it with it. The tailpipe kind of took the
muffler along with it, which is not good for your heat situation
for your back pressure, all kinds of things and not so
great. Yeah, it also makes a lot of racket, it makes some racket
and of course we had 111 degrees on the road. And so we of course
wound up turning off the air conditioner
it's probably the condition that made the things but now let's
back up a man
that was that was not a fun trip. Let me tell you that now.
Where did this happen? On what is it? What is it? 35 Is that
what we took up? No, I kept it on
the way to Wichita Yeah, yeah. Yeah, the muffler and tailpipe
fell off yes. It looks like nobody when they're checking
your car notice there may have been, you know, not bolted on or
it's rusting.
Well, we the rest was kind of unknown factor. So but it's
okay. It's all right. You know, just the problem was the heat
issue. Because you know, you do start to get into a little bit
of elevation and it's a
strain on the thing to go up to going into the Rocky Mountains
is not known as the this as a easy on a car.
No, no. And luckily though, we didn't have to turn on the
heater to cool down the car. We didn't have to go to that
extreme just yet, but it was pretty bad. And so so we head up
to Wichita now John Leonard, very interesting guy. He's an
aeronautical engineer. Of course, Wichita is the home of
aviation. This is where all the big aviation companies are. He
works for Lear jet. But there's, you know, every every plane
really, you know, that is assembled is pretty much
designed and engineered and in many cases assembled in Wichita,
which I found out is because it is exactly the furthest from
each coast of the United the United States of Gitmo nation.
So, if someone wanted to bomb the facilities like going back
to World War Two, they would have they would have to fly, you
know, the further inland that you could imagine, because
there's no other reason to be in Wichita, but also air buses and
out in Wichita, and what? So I met up with a couple other
engineers and John, he actually he Well, he chases work. He's a
contractor. So he lives in a trailer. And he's been in
Wichita for three years but he also lives in San Diego you
know, he's done a combination of military and and civilian
engineering jobs. So it's very interesting guy, beautiful
trailer by the way his trailers go. And he's got a fireplace in
there. He's got
ya know, you can make you can do well and it really great Trulia
and his wife hates hotels, so they decided, you know, we're
just gonna live in a trailer so it's really nice. And but he has
a side hobby, which is phenomenal. Go to dune buggy
golf carts.com This is gonna crack you up. So he's a monthly
donor. Dune Buggy golf
karoun. Buggy. Golf call.
carts, carts shot calm. And and look at the I got Doom, Doom,
Doom doom. So we actually he makes dune buggies out of golf
carts. And because you know, he's an engineer, so he designed
this body out of fiberglass it looks the other page seen
these kinds of things in this beautiful. I never saw it as a
golf cart.
So he actually had the, you know, the golden orange one you
see there? And actually, you know, it's like, here's the
keys, you know where to look around the RV park, you know,
going to the showers. And so he sold parts. Yeah. So he's
selling these to reach a RABs who show up there to the pickup.
They're seven you know, they're, they're Airbus or whatever.
But will it take double these things back? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
Oh, they load him up by him into the air bus and haul him back to
Saudi Arabia.
But here's what's interesting. So very, pretty, very pretty. So
there's a lot of engineers out there and I've had the
opportunity to talk to a couple and and of course when aviation
guys get together, you know, there's there's two camps
really, there's the sheet metal and rivets camp, which is what I
belong to, which is you know, Boeing still makes sheet metal
and rivet airplanes. And then there's the plastic aircraft,
which is what everyone else is particularly Airbus is making.
So without naming names. Without fail, these engineers all said,
Yeah, we all actually don't like flying in our own airplanes. If
they're made out of plastic. They won't even fly in them.
That's how much they trust this whole composite carbon fiber
crap. Really, Mm hmm. And check this out. So the Airbus which is
made out of plastic, it may not be so according to the
Dreamliner of plastic lean to Yeah, that's also plastic.
According to the specs, these aircraft are not allowed on the
runway. If it's 125 degrees or more. Now, it's already 111 in
Kansas City. Imagine some Arab dude picking up his air bus,
taking it to Rydia or whatever.
Yeah, and ready Barker. Radia
park it on the tarmac and it's it can easily be 125 degrees. I
mean, doesn't seem it's
that's what it is every day. Yeah. And it just starts to melt
away.
I'm like, wow, this is good insight information. To this is
the kind of stuff that I'm getting on the road. Which is
which it's always entertaining. They took us out to dinner at
this fantastic South American joint where I had, was it
Papoose us Have you ever heard to put pouces have heard of
Papoose Oh my god. It was Salvadorian Papoose us in any in
Wichita, Kansas. No less. Yeah, yeah, it was nice. So um, and
then, of course, I had to find a place to get a new muffler. I
found Kevin's American muffler was, John, this was like a
reality show. This was like one of those paint. Seriously, what
you got going on? And it was three guys exactly the same. You
know, like five feet tall, big beerbelly, black clothes, bald
head, big earrings full of tats. We'll hook you right up. They
threw in some chrome tips for me to add $400 Later, I might add.
I'm good to go. And then we booked on over to Topeka. And of
course, Topeka, Kansas is where the state capitol is an
important because my great uncle, my grandfather's brother,
John Stuart curry painted these huge murals inside the Capitol
Building of John Brown. Now, John Brown, do you know the
story behind him? I used to John Brown was a famous abolitionist.
And he essentially he armed or he organized, the citizens of
places like Lawrence, Kansas and kick The Federalists out, have
been needed with pitchforks and muskets. And so Mike,
this, by the way, was one of the projective. That's the right
word, or one of the origins of the 10th Amendment battle.
Correct. Because this was a was a states rights 10th Amendment
states rights issue and they rat Roush to the feds. They just
literally ran him out of town. Yeah, get out.
And so John Brown was, you know, this, this really huge, larger
than life guy, and I guess my great uncle was buddies with
him, which makes so much sense because, you know, he was
basically, you know, an anti government crackpot. And so we
go into the Capitol building, and you're going through the
security like a magnetometer or whatever. And the guys say, Oh,
you're here to see the the mural so yes. And, of course, Mickey's
like yeah, this is Adam curry. You know, this is great. If they
really say yeah, and said, Oh, are you such a hard nosed ask
like, John Stuart and John Brown? To what do you mean? Oh,
well wait until you see the murals because John Stuart curry
would paint some of the senators as pigs faces that he could see
on these murals like this makes so much sense my lineage, my
heritage. Pigs, totally like these murals are, are fantastic
to see them. They're really big. So Miss Maciel be posting
pictures of that on the Hot Pockets tour. Facebook page
itm.im/tour Oh, nine. Then
we that was good. By the way. You know, I go around. When I'm
traveling, I actually seek out art.
We tried to stop at the world's largest prairie dog, but we just
that guy would actually do seek I stick out quality art but I
also seek out that sort of we tried Yeah, we tried. The
world's largest prairie dog is I'm sure it's like a jackalope.
I think we'll
catch it on the way back when we drive back from Colorado. So
then we went to our Oh, by the way, I'd need to thank you
another producer in Wichita. It was uh, Neil Smith, who he and
this was a so all these guys are engineers right? And so And so
John Lawrence just said Well, you got to get this stuff this
wet wetter Have you ever heard of this? No. So you put it into
your radiator and it helps your car run cooler. And it's some
kind of like punch I don't know it looks looks like Hawaiian
Punch. And so Neil brought brought a couple of bottles over
important and it did seem to help along with the muffler.
Everything seems to help and you're not really testing well.
We
had the so we we drove to Topeka then we drove to Lauren so we
had our meet up. And it was it was well taken care of actually.
It kept cool. We were able to keep the air conditioning on so
you still got to be careful just on how fast you go. 57 miles an
hour seems to be optimum to keep it cool and running, which is
not very fast. No. And we had a great meet up there organized by
Jason Baker, who organized also paid for drinks and dinner from
his Mickey and I and we had a nice crowd I'd say about 20
people if people brought their kids who were also listeners and
truly listeners of the show and had a nice dinner and then we we
had about nine or 10 hours to go to Denver so we decided to drive
we left around 7:30pm drove to Hayes which is kind of halfway
between Lawrence Kansas and and Denver and stayed at a webinar
koa campground click overnight which was actually our first and
our second full on night in the sin been quite comfortable. And
then we we booked it on up and we did okay.
company called to sin been married
yeah, but still sinful things take place.
The one okay.
Now, we have another slight issue with the truck. The
JVM you calculate the cost of a tow Yeah, from from Iowa from
Boise, Idaho towing the trailer back to Texas.
So first of all, I guess somewhere I picked up some bad
gas so it's pinging a bit and doesn't want to start really
well.
You know, I talked about this on the show before blend is the
blend that blends from place to place and if you're down in the
bend of gullies and you go up in the mountains, you're
it was a crappy blend. So I got to figure out something here but
all So the power steering, I think the the valves are stuck
or whatever so you need you can't turn the wheel when the
car is just idling you have to rev up the engine a little bit.
Yeah, so it's the old power steering unit.
Yeah, I think the pump is I wouldn't worry about that now
because it's really not drivable if it because we're the trailer
it's okay, because you need power anyway. But I really, it's
we got to change it. So we're going to try and do that. So
anyway, we arrived here in Erie, which is just about 10 minutes
south of Boulder. And we're here staying with homos. Let me just
get all my notes together. And
by the way, when you're buying gasoline on our trip like this,
don't go to any little cheap, no offense to this and I'm sure we
have a few proprietors that own some of these little gas
stations. But generally speaking, they always buy it's a
second level grade that you get, especially outside of
California, where by law they have to have detergents in the
gasoline. You get a second grade and if there was a Russian own
place, they will know if the Russians Yeah, so our Russians
but they tend to throw like us diesel fuel and stuff into the
thing because well,
between Lawrence and Denver you're happy that you see any
gas station so like, Oh, there's one finally. That mean there's
not a lot there's no like beds on the side of the road. So
we're
here at the gas 187 miles. Yeah.
So um, we're we're here the same vein is parked outside the home
of Chad Christie engaged Christian. Lovely family.
Christy's a dental hygienist. They have a 15 month old son
Gage, who is who loves dancing to all our jingles. I have seen
it firsthand. He can't really speak yet but he'll he'll be
cuttin Shut up slave jingle soon, no doubt about it. And
Chad, who actually didn't come home until this morning, seven
o'clock, because he's on overtime duty. He's a EMS,
paramedic and firefighter. Oh, yeah. And, and so he calls home
last night. And I felt so insignificant and his wife
talking to him. He's like, Yeah, there's some some lady you know,
she she was basically dead. No pulse, no breathing. I brought
it back to life of CPR. Like I thought our show was important,
but we suck we don't do anything. This guy's bringing
people back to life
but brought someone back from the dead at some point, but you
never know. I have no proof of it.
And I learned a new term EMS term because last night he had a
call around I guess 3am someone suffering from excited delirium
essentially that bath salts oh when someone goes nuts and he
said like five guys we had to fool down with five guys and
shoot all kinds of stuff into him to get him to calm down.
Excited delirium I love it. I think it's a great term. And
then tonight we've got a meet up and then um, let me see we're
gonna be around the Colorado area for a few days we'll do the
Sunday show from here as well. But we're going to Colorado
Springs we're going near Aspen so we're just going to leave the
the box here and we're going to just drive around think we're
staying with some other people or there's a cabin or whatever I
ended up Miss Mickey keeps that all up to up to spec so that's
where we're at and it's it's really it's been fantastic if
you look at the web I don't know maybe you got a hold of Jays
account to look at Facebook John but we have that that picture of
your head on a stick
Yeah, I can't get on Facebook. I'm not a member it's fantastic
every it's lunch and you know the thing known as the World
Wide Web Yeah, that's just regular the no agenda show
site that you could also just be thankful she's doing it at all.
No, I am
by just just saying that you know maybe you should wean her
off of the Facebook when I understand for example, the by
the way you have the skills to do this the knowledge because it
would forwarded information it still says the Hot Pockets
toward 2008 on how
you can't change that if you change the title of the Facebook
page. Then it breaks all your likes and your members
apparently it becomes a new page thanks Facebook. Yeah. I wasn't
gonna say I don't know. I just learned a lot.
Did you eat it? anything good?
Had a night well if the n-lorem Well besides the Prusa Yeah
Which was great in Lawrence we had I was got a great strip
steak. They're really big on their beef at the place. We were
there a lot of good beef in the Midwest yeah and by the way
because of the drought watch the everyone's talking about it.
Watch the beef prices plummet because the farmers have to hell
call you they got they got to process their meat otherwise the
cattle will die.
Right so there's gonna be a lot a lot of beef on the market
overnight.
Yeah. So yeah, you know, we're it's it's been great. It's the
head on a stick that's what I want to say. It's kind of like
have you ever seen the movie weekend Bernie's?
Where they have the dead guy? Yeah. And they waving his arms?
Yeah, yeah. So that hit your head on the stick is kind of
like that you popping up in every picture? You're in the
dune buggy.
Yeah. You find some use for my head.
You're in every group shot you're a beautiful man. And we
miss you. We miss you on the road as everybody else but I
said I always say this We miss you. You should take it upon
yourself. Come meet us in Boise man come to the Boise
Boise I might go to Boise you could drive to Boise. No, I
couldn't. That's not that far. Oh, yeah. Oh, okay.
Fly to Boise.
You got to go through Hell's half acre, which whether or not
you're ever going to whether you're going to visit that out?
I'm not sure from the direction you're going but wow. Yeah, half
acre my but what?
What is Hell's half acre? Hell's half
acre, which is endless miles and miles of lava flow. No life at
all. It's like being on the moon.
Is there a gas station?
I don't think so.
Oh, no. Anyway, in the morning to you John C. Dvorak.
We're in the morning do you Adam curry in the morning all ships
at sea boots on the ground subs in the water and feet in the air
and in the morning to all of our human resources in the chat room
all lined up ready to go we see that you are quickly depleting
your $9.2 million in lifetime value. Good to have you here. No
agenda stream.com no agenda chat.net. Despite the travels,
I've been able to collect a lot of a lot of stuff. There's some
interesting things happening.
I came up short. I
think really? No, I'm good. Man. I
I have a couple of I finally got to the bottom of the badminton
thing, which was good. Yeah. So
this is the now of course we know all professional sports are
rigged. And the Olympics could be no no different. And you have
done some digging on this.
Well, a little bit I when they there's a couple of things that
happened one was let's just put in the background. People have
been watching these idiotic Olympics. No, they missed out on
the big scandal, which is four or eight people to four pairs of
doubles, Asian players all got kicked out which of the Olympics
for trying to lose
G D and badminton, such a an important
sports actually, you know, I we used to play that when I was in
high school it kind of it's hard. It's hard core. It's a
good game. Rocket. Dom, it's like you know, but you go play
badminton against somebody who knows what they're doing, and
you'll be lucky to score points. That's true. And so what
happened was the end some guy from Belgium actually hinted at
this and then the only place I could find a good explanation
for it for people out there. And we should probably put in the
show notes is in salon magazine. Oh, the guy outlined exactly
what the problem was. The problem boils down to this the
Chinese are the absolute best badminton people in the world
period.
Why is that they were genetics.
No, this become a fad in the country since 1980 Apparently
became the EU. And there was a lot of rationales for just some
of it's explained in a salon article. When anyway, the point
is, is that the Chinese are so good that because Denmark won a
match against somebody and screwed up the way the thing was
going to finalize the to play for a gold medal they the
Chinese were going to end up having to play against their two
teams that have to play against each other and that means one
would wouldn't get won't get a gold and the other one would get
like a bronze or something you wouldn't get the silver because
of the way the tournament was set up. So to avoid this
structure, one of the Chinese teams had to throw a match to
get into a different group of people to play the loot to like
the losers round because they feel they're the best in the
world and they should walk away with a golden silver and if the
goal if the goal is to win the Best Metal you can win and it
takes losing then so be it and so be it and this was not a this
were the right the matches that only determined the final
matchups it was it didn't capture your total score was
just like to put you in a certain order. So they had to
lose. So they started playing the South Koreans. I think it
was a South Korean so they started losing in the South
Koreans figure nerded out. So they decided, you know, dig
what's going on. So they decided to throw the game too. So you
had this these two no
one wanted to it's like it's like our politics that neither
Democrats or Republicans want to win. So they're
trying to both and meanwhile the the real kicker here in this now
then I still haven't gotten the ticket price. But apparently
these matches were, you know, sold out or sold, there was
enough tickets sold it somebody said there may be up to $300 You
pay to watch a badminton game, where these guys are just
dumping it into the net on every shot. So they started booing
him. Love it. Meanwhile, the lip is gonna say so people demanded
their money back. And it was a big mess. And so they threw him
out of the tournament, which in fact, as the Belgian guy said,
this was the Olympics fault. They're the ones who set it up
like this. And if you have to get a silver or a gold silver
combination with two teams, if you have to lose a match, that's
what you do. Right. So they shouldn't have been penalized.
This whole thing is just typical. I mean, the Japanese
job the Ukrainians and men men's gymnastics to me. Anyway, so you
got to clip. No, no, I do. I have the clip about the let's
see. What do I have bad man have a scandal? Yeah, that's just the
background I should have played before. He's yakked. So we'll
we'll leave it out. Yeah, just hey, why
don't we? Why don't we thank some producers before we move on
because I think you're
talking about getting shorted by the Olympics. We got shorted to
we only have two producers. Actually. We have one you'd have
some
Yeah, I have an executive producer. That would be actually
the family home on a second here. This is from our Lauren's
meet up, Eric Laurie, Eric and Laurie swim. $300 or a sweater
can Laurie swim $300. They also
this was Jed, Jed. She writes in a lot. Yes, she does.
She does. In fact, you're right. And she made some wonderful.
What do you call those? oven mitts for
me? She made oven mitts for you
hadn't made the beautiful? Yeah. And actually she has a card. Let
me read the card for a second. Oven. Okay, yeah. To making Adam
wishing you all the best things in life. But first, you just
have to weather this challenging road trip Adam, a woman who
would take this kind of trip as a quasi honeymoon must be pure
gold. Take good care of her. Mickey the potholders are for
those times you need your crackpot that just put a lid on
it. Hold on a second. Thanks for all you do. We love the show.
Eric And Laurie swim. Beautiful card and they are donating the
$300 towards Eric's knighthood and they had their son there who
was also i It's kind of a crackpot actually I thought I
thought was more crackpot than Buzzkill. So they do check in as
the only executive producer on today's show, I believe.
Yeah. Then we have three Associate Executive producers.
Louis, Louisville, Kentucky we have answer Maven No comment.
John Johnson and he given with $250 John Johnson Jr. to 2222 in
the morning, I heard you mentioned the show Rubicon a few
times so when looking for it, it isn't available anywhere Netflix
iTunes and Amazon that Amazon does have it for stream now.
Okay, so if you go to Amazon you will find it and he wants some
karma for his smoking hot fiancee Candace
you've got karma
and I do find it odd that they didn't put it on DVD. But yeah,
I was looking for it and I found it on Amazon Minister do they
have this streaming thing if you're if you're an Amazon Prime
member you get all this television stuff a lot of it for
free, or including Rubicon is free now. Lucas Taima in first

Libertarian Yeah, libre Tati super day. Huh? Do it say libre
tidy super Thai.
Libre? tarsha BatAAr. Tarr?
Awesome, no, no Awesome. Awesome. Love it. Yeah. And as
executive producers Yeah, that's Associate Executive Producer.
Yeah, we came up a little short today's unfortunately, well, it
is, of course, July,
July, August, we're
talking about the dog days of summer when we do appreciate our
executive producers and Associate Executive producers.
As you know, these credits are absolutely 100% real, they're
just as valid as Hollywood. But unlike the phonies there, we
will actually vouch for you if you want us to. And you can
always go out and propagate our formula.
Our formula is this,
we go out, we hit people in the mouth.
So I did come across something rather interesting. And I
actually have to prop Miss Mickey for catching it. I'd seen
that I'd seen the news. I'd follow it for two days. And then
she said, yeah, there's something going on here. And
this is the power outage in India. And this was pretty big.
This power outages. Yes, it was 600 million people without
power. Yeah. And of course it went
by and by the way, you got to think about this. Now, of
course, not to jump what you're going to say. But you know,
there's a new TV show coming
out about this. So what's the TV show now? JJ Abrams,
new show it's called revolutions or something? I can't remember
that somebody
knows. And what is it about what's the world
gets shipped electricity in the world stops working? Excellent.
I don't know how far you'd go to promote something like this. But
if in terms you blow up the Indian power grid, did you get a
lot of publicity for the idea? But you got to think about,
well, this thing's doesn't want people to think about. You're in
an elevator.
How about on these trains? Man, we got people hanging off and
you're in a train. Oh, my goodness, you're in a subway is
dark.
You're stopped. You're on the you're on the operating table.
You right here on the just just something you could mention?
Well, they did say that most small businesses and probably
hospitals in this part of India are so used to brownouts and
blackouts that they all have dryers.
Yeah. But for us, you know, even if you have a generator or some
other alternative power source, the internet's not going to
work. That's that's going to be down. Yes, yeah. So this, or at
least in that area. So of course, we have a problem with
India. And the problem is, no one listens. No one gives a crap
about us there. We have one producer, I think, right one who
said I
think he lives here. Yeah, you'd make it even better guilted him
into 500 rupees, I think keen cash, which I still have, which
I think is four bucks.
So we really don't know a lot. And we don't get a lot of
feedback. So I just read around as much as I could. And I got a
report from Reuters. And this is from the power secretary, who
stated the following. Cuz you know, of course, people are
saying, oh, you know, this is there, the grid is no good, and
there's not enough power. And this is kind of what I latched
on to initially, but he says, the hype that states are
overdrawing is the reason for the collapse is not right. He
says it's too early to say exactly what happened when the
grid collapsed. The frequency was 50.2 hertz, which is normal.
Had states been overdrawing the frequency would have dropped
well below that level. So I'm like, Huh? Okay, good point.
Now, Mickey said, Ms. Mickey, who has been on the road with me
too long, clearly. She says, you know, maybe this was some kind
of test to see how people would react like, oh, okay, maybe?
Well, I did find that on the exact same day, the first near
the full the first part of the outage came, the Turkmenistan
president took the toppy pipeline roadshow on the road to
promote the this is the Turkmenistan Afghanistan,
Pakistan India pipeline, which is clearly needed in order for
them to have the natural gas to create enough electricity for
all of the slaves there. So I'm like, okay, that's kind of
interesting. You know, this, this could be something to it.
That, you know, they they, you know, it's like, Hey, you want
to be without power? You don't want to hurry this along. You
got to get Pakistan more on board. We got to build this
thing. You know, we got to drone all the people who are trying to
stop progress as we go through Waziristan in, in western
Pakistan, but maybe possibly I couldn't find too much else. But
then. Then I took a glance, again, a glance at C span. And
there was a huge debate going on. In on the hill, about the
cyber bill, the cyber security bill and I I'm going yeah, I
pulled a couple of clips. Now these clips are just by
themselves are amazing. But I'm going to wind it up with the
Harry Reid, who of course is the douche of all deuces. This is
Mark Udall, I think he's from Colorado, actually, about the
cyber bill and how it now remember we've we've read
through a version of this, that no one has seen the version
they're actually debating on and I'll get to that in a second.
First, Mark Udall on how important it is, is if
we see the danger in front of us. But yet, we cannot find the
courage to face it. But Congress cannot afford to wait for a 911
sized attack in order to act.
Now, let me ask you a question. How can I mean, is a cyber
attack going to bring down buildings? Are our planes going
to fall out of the sky? Will people be jumping out of windows
to their death? And I mean, is that how do I equate a cyber 911
to a 911 size attack? And
you know, this thing is doable? It's gonna explain it flees, you
know, when those bills came down? Yeah, a lot of bank
records disappeared.
Right? I understand was
all that was apparently important. I understand that.
And so the cyber attack would take out the bank records the
same thing. But But oh, yeah, people die in the 911 thing, but
that we're not talking about that. The whole thing is about
banks. Okay, I
got it. I got it. I got it. I got it. Make sense? Good. One,
by the way, you know, the track, we got to follow up,
waiting for a catastrophic act, something that military and
intelligence leaders in a bipartisan collection of
national security experts are warning us against is the exact
opposite of leadership. And the exact opposite of what our
constituents expect us to do here.
Whoo. Okay, so now this is this is very scary, because it's 911
like, and we're all gonna die. Then we get to Grassley. And he
starts to unfold some very interesting information about
what I thought would they were now discussing this
Cybersecurity Act of 2012, which we have read, but we haven't
read what they're actually talking about. At nor have they,
the bill before us was introduced 13 days ago. And it
was only pending on the floor for four days before the motion
for torture was filed. It didn't go through the normal committee
process. It wasn't debated or amended. We said it was brought
straight to the floor. And we're being forced to consider under a
very rough schedule. Talking about the danger of cyber
attacks for years isn't the same as discussing the impact of the
actual text of the bill, which could become law. The words on
the 212 pages of the bill are what must be analyzed and
analyzed in detail
by the curry Devorah Consulting Group. In fact,
no one, except a handful of Senators actually knows what the
bill says, or might say, of course, is a process.
How do you like that? They don't know what it says. Senate
they had assistance to read these things and briefed them on
No, they hasn't even been released. They've just been
accomplished, accomplishes or at least tries to accomplish. We
need full process. And unfortunately, that has not
happened. And it doesn't look like it will happen. And why
won't it happen because the majority lead leader has limited
debate. This week, we were told that a group of senators and
their staff are working on a compromise. Again, that's
something that all of us, as a body don't know much about. We
need an open debate in order to process is as opposed to huddled
backroom meetings.
So huddled backroom meetings. That's how it's all being done
by the most transparent government in the universe.
exactly as you'd expect it to be. paperwork that has been put
in 13 days ago. I haven't seen it. It's not available. It's all
been secret. So I'm sure it's not what we've read previously,
but I will keep my eyes out for the new version of the bill. And
then we get Harry Reid, Mr. Meme fest, who will of course, re
invoke the 911 and tell you why it is so important. So
incredibly important to pass this legislation. Now my
perspective,
I'd say about a three. Keep in mind, one is totally unprepared.
10 is totally prepared. Three is what he said. One of the
country's top national security experts gave us three out of 10
a failing grade by any standard. Ron just said that type of cyber
attacks that could black out the United States for weeks or
months.
Oh, a cyber attack that could blackout the United States for
weeks or months. How But that your timing is uncanny,
or up to 17 fold. In the last three years. nation's top
security experts have said a cyber 911 is imminent.
Imminent imminent. I wish I'd known you'd have this because I
would have dug up that old clip from two or three years ago
where Feinstein was at the front of the Congress and she had all
these experts. She had the Yeah. Sorry, had a navy National
Intelligence head of Naval Intelligence head of military
everything and is a cyber attack was another 911. Attack
imminent? Yeah, I remember the extra six months.
I remember that clip. I can I can look for it.
They all said yes, yo, yeah. Oh, absolutely. It's gonna happen
any minute. And how
long ago was this?
There's a couple of years ago two three years ago.
I'm gonna safe imminent maybe I just get lucky. Let me see if
imminent pops up. No, I don't think I'm gonna get lucky now.
Anyway, let me continue with the read because he really lays it
out.
They say frailties and our defenses against these attacks,
the most urgent threat to our national security. Nothing is
more important. So as with
discipline, by the way, nothing is more important. This nothing
is more important. It's such
a douchebag. You know, this bill is obviously covering ups.
Probably some more ways of spying. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Stay
tuned.
Last night, I filed cloture on legislation to reinforce our
defenses to
what is cloture? Exactly? That's a procedure. I guess that
that's a procedure to make it so you can't do a filibuster in the
Senate closing
procedure to ram something through is what you're saying?
Well, you
can't. Yeah, you can't do it. What the way is structured right
now you don't know what he's talking about.
Against these malicious attackers, summer countries,
summer organizations, summer individuals to
countries organizations and individuals, John.
Well, security experts have been plain about the urgent need to
act urgent need to say the question is not whether to act,
but whether we will act in time. Run for the run for the exits.
We need only look at the headlines of papers all over
America today. All over the world today. As we speak 600
million people in India are without electricity.
A douche bag will you lose?
I'm telling you. How about STUXnet baby. How about they say
you know what, we got to pass this thing. We got to ram it
through fire up Stuxnet work on the SCADA controllers, bring her
down. It's entirely possible. He's got like another 30
seconds, which is worth listening to. Yes.
Now, it's not believed there was a chasm involved in that now.
However,
I'm leaving that open ended is believed
relates to the unusual weather.
unusual weather. No, that's not what the Secretary said. You
didn't say anything of the kind. In fact,
probably many experts say on global warming. Oh, I'm sorry.
It's global warming. Yeah. So let's just throw that in there.
Why not really had
16 and dt, which is put a tremendous burden on their
fragile.
It's not fragile.
Power System power system. This legislation that we're trying to
finish him madam president has been worked on for years.
Oh, yeah. Sure. worked on for years. Bull crap bull crap. So I
did clip show. I got one more clip here. This is the actually
I think this is a pretty good outfit.
By the way. Since we're talking about India, dad, JC buzzkill
jr. did come in to tell us at a bookstore, I think we have
around 3000 active producers. We have four that are Indian.
Right now one, so that is 0.01%. That's great for
four and we want to thank them profusely. Yeah. So this
outfit the Center for Democracy and Technology, which I think
might actually be a 5013 C Corp. That is good. I haven't been
able to find anything nasty the name of them again, it is the
Center for Democracy and Technology. And they're working
on some amendments to the cybersecurity bill. And it's not
so much the amendments, but he was on the Washington journal,
which is that calling show that our producers never call into
and say in the morning, but they should.
I don't understand why we can't get him to do that, because it's
a great show.
And he mentioned something that I didn't even know for those of
you using Gmail or Hotmail, you might want to listen to this
little ditty.
Well, certainly, privacy is challenged by advance. So of
course
he's talking about the cybersecurity bill as he knows
it, where companies will be allowed to share your
information with the government just in case you know, you might
be some kind of cares. But of course, they will be indemnified
from doing so. So you can't sue The company like Google, or
Yahoo, or Microsoft, for sharing your private information with
the government isn't
technology. But the answer to that problem is not to throw up
our hands, but rather to make sure that the laws keep up with
technology. And one of the amendments that the Senate may
consider is one to update the Electronic Communications
Privacy Act. Right now, under that law, if an email message is
sitting in your inbox for more than 180 days, it's available to
the government with a subpoena. Most people don't know that they
think that the government has to go to court and get an order and
prove probable cause to a judge. We're trying to update that
statute.
Did you know that?
No, but I wish they go get my old AOL box, which has got to be
more than 100 days old and filled with so much spam.
It would be great. So so this is a perfect storm
for Akkad EO, I never use it by the way. So send me an email
there. But there it is.
So if it's a bit in your inbox, ie in your Google's in your
Gmail,
people don't erase their inbox, they're encouraged exactly to
keep it
searchable. And it's all indexed for the Feds convenience.
Boom. If there's any references here to the bombing, to the
bombing, no, I mean, that's what you'd look up bombing, bombing,
bombing, bombing or what? No, I don't just anything you'd look
up bombing. If I was a Fed, I got your email. Type in search.
The first thing I type in would be Bob about
fertilizer. Try fertilizer that's probably do that you
probably you probably have some fertilizer at
the top bombing assassination. Are you searching go with the
top searches and then you go down, you drill down, even
though you know they discovered this is I wrote a column about
this. Apparently college students don't know how to use
Google. Oh, the whole country is deteriorated in its ability to
do a simple search. Oh, so I'm assuming the Feds don't know how
to do it either. They will put bombing in there. Okay.
Did you do you still have AOL floppy disks.
Okay, well, this you'll think is silly. Although I have to say
I'm not absolutely sure where the collection is. But I made a
collection of all of the ones I could all the pretty colors over
time, because I figured at some point, it's got to go into the
Smithsonian.
You are a hoarder, aren't you? It's official. It's official
borderline. hoarder is bad. That's good, though. Man. We
need people like you archive
some. I need some yeah, I've not met a hoarder archivist.
Yeah, try that on Mimi. Yeah, it's an archivist. So there was
a well, let me just stick on the Hill for a second. Because
douche douche bag read brought up the global warming that
Inhofe got up. And he just he just said something that just
kind of tickled tickled me when I heard him. I didn't know he
was. He was like this. I guess I did. But I didn't know he
actually went up and said it in
a different state. Talking about being somewhat critical of my
position on global warming, which everybody knows I've been
involved in Peru for some 12 years. Since the Kyoto Treaty
was never which was never before us. Nonetheless, I appreciated
the fact that we had a chance to, to resurrect that issue,
because to my knowledge, nobody has uttered the term global
warming since 2009.
I love how he does this. Yeah, nice.
It's been completely refuted, in most areas, but I'm pleased, I
was pleased to hear my good friend from Vermont, talking
about it, because he and I have a very honest relationship with
each other, but a total disagreement, and we're able to
go over those things. And then again today, two things happen.
First of all, we had the senators senior senator from
Massachusetts came down to the floor and and was quite critical
of me and anyone who is a skeptic. It's important to
realize that to understand so you understand when when we're
talking, what we're referring to those people who really believe
that the world is coming to an end because of global warming.
And that's all due to manmade anthropogenic gases. We call
those people alarmists. Those people like myself who is
looking at it very carefully and have come to the conclusion that
that isn't happening. Now watch them wrap it up. And that the
the fact that the or the assertion that global warming is
occurring today and it's occurring because of the release
of co2 and anthropogenic gases methane and in such as that,
that's, that's not a that those people or it's really a hoax,
which I said way back in 2003. This became quite a charge to a
lot of people. And that is the fact that All this has helped me
it's due to manmade gases, I really believe is the greatest
hoax ever perpetrated on the American people.
Hey, man, hey, hey. Sciences, science. And meanwhile, we've
got another guy out there doing the rounds. Richard Mueller, who
is a former client client, a climate denier denounced her
denialist he's flipped sides. Yeah, I
know. There's big news. Yeah. But I
caught him. I figured I figured out what this is all about.
Okay. He was on. No, I did not watch this. But someone sent me
the clip was on the Rachel Maddow Show. And she's just
delighted. You know who Yeah, he's flipped sides. It's so
obvious the guy is still a complete shill.
Given what you see in the correlation between carbon
dioxide and temperatures? Do you think that the the level of
reduction we'd have to have in carbon dioxide is so great. So
in order to affect temperature, that it would have to be a
global economic shock? Or would we would we be able to reduce
carbon dioxide in a way that you think could be economically
sustainable but would still really affect temperature?
I think there are two key things that we can do. One of them is a
global effort towards energy efficiency and conservation
right now that makes sense in that we should do that anyway.
It's realistic, but the
biggest thing is and will come in this will be controversial.
The biggest thing is a switch away from coal and to the one
thing that can replace it.
Let me guess what natural gas
in the poor countries which are going to produce most of the
carbon dioxide ie
India, Pakistan, China, natural gas, there you go. There you go.
Because clearly a shill for the industry
is working for T bone Pickens. Yeah, or still for the Koch
brothers, whatever. One of them doesn't matter. All these guys
are just a bunch of money grubbers. That was a good one.
Not quite quick clip of the day worthy yet but hardly now.
So the one there was a study that was done. I heard I didn't
get a clip of it. But I thought twice about it. And it was that
important. But NPR in the News Hour, they had this cuz you
mentioned poor countries, they apparently some huge report came
out it was a big deal. They spent tons of money to find out
that in that in poor neighborhoods. Most of the
people that live there are low income and enrich neighborhoods.
Most of the people that live there are higher above median
income.
Now, this is a $17 million report and accompanying website
that they use to come up with this information.
Yeah, it was it was stunning. And they took it they gave it a
whole block on the news hour discussing this and it was like
wow, yeah, there's there's no diversity anymore. It's not
about race anymore. It's about income disparity income. Yeah.
Oh, I love you switch from so that should get us to get it.
There's two memes I've been noticing going on. One is that
one, which is racism doesn't mean anything anymore. You know,
hence, Obama doesn't need the help to black people. Yeah, by
the way, which I think is the underlying reason for that.
Because you know, he's done nothing for that black community
now. And the other meme I keep running into is that people
shouldn't be going to college. No, they should be going to
community colleges
and trade school.
In fact, I'll have a I have a special long kind of a breakout
of a of a rehearse bit that was on the CBS Morning Show with
Charlie Rose and some other people. And it was and it was
promoting this idea. Yeah, people should go to trade school
is going to be the next thing. But right now it's community
colleges. And this, of course, is you know, the reason for this
basic reasons. So we can educate foreign nationals in our big
universe, because they got the money is that they got the money
and they also set up shop overseas.
They got cash, loans, just cash, beautiful cash. A lot of sense.
Yeah.
By the way, a bit while you're on the topic of the global
warming, I do have a clip, okay. And I got this the new normal
clip, which is at the bottom of the list. And this was I'm just
watching this report about the drought and this idiot comes in
and here we go. Again,
the soybean crop is rated very poor to poor 66% of the nation's
hay fields are in drought. So is 73% of the cattle land.
This could be the new normal in the United States. And so we
need to plan ahead because we know and the science tells us
that under a changing climate, droughts will be more frequent
and more intense across the United States.
The NRDC says 60% of the states have no such plan.
Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. We
by the way, did we hear this when Katrina hit? Yeah. Oh,
yeah. That the new normal was going to be these massive
hurricanes wiping out are just ruining these cities down by in
the Gulf area. Yeah, it was a new normal. So that to me the
new normal is there's always a new normal.
Well, I'll tell you what the new normal is. And this is more your
neck of the woods. And I've been reading reports about this for
going on. Now this is a second week about the militarized cops
in Anaheim, which I think is also part of the new normal if
you follow this story at all, what's been going on? I
followed a little bit of it, but you obviously have some I
have I have a clip. So the way I understand it, the cops tried to
apprehend maybe stop and frisk, a citizen of Anaheim,
California. Disneyland is the happiest place on earth. And so
he ran away and they shot him in the back of the head and they
killed him. And a lot of that, a lot of residents saw this
happen. They had they got it on their cell phones. And they're
like, Hey, this is bullcrap. You know, this is this is you know,
it's not just police brutality. It's police killing. And yeah,
murder. So they staged a protest, and the cops come out a
job except for the word police on their uniform, their
soldiers. They've got like, just amazing hardware that they're
even in Camos. Like, like, like they're getting ready to go to
Afghanistan. I mean, don't you need camouflage on the streets
of Anaheim. Here's the report.
chaos and violence in the streets of Anaheim. Anaheim
police firing rubber bullets confront a crowd of terrified
children, parents and angry residents near La Palma and
Ocasio. Then one officer unleashes a snarling police dog
which attacks a mother holding her child and this bystander by
the
way, this is video you've got to see in the show notes 430 dot
any show notes 431 dot n a show notes.com It's rough man. This
dog just jumps doesn't mom's sitting on a lawn chair with
their baby and his dog just like attacks. Just started shooting.
I was with my son and the man that was
talking about what happened. He just really baby
my strong scratch me with this. It all started around four
o'clock this afternoon when police shot this man known in
the community as stamper. Police say he was one of three men who
took off running when they approached him earlier in the
afternoon. What
exactly happened during the shooting? We don't know. We're
still investigating that. But the shooting occurred. And the
of course we don't always take into a local hospital.
But neighbors who saw the shooting State Police
overreacted. Then they confronted the officers
demanding answers. That's when the pandemonium broke out.
We just started shooting again. Now we're gonna have no guns,
nothing get thrown in the end they just started shooting
everyone.
And back live once again you're looking west on the Palma This
is where police have just broken up a small protest where some
citizens have set up a dumpster fire even shut down the street.
Now out here. There were dozens of people who had their cell
phones and at least four different people told me that
police officers offered to buy their video from them without
any explanation. Of course, that's all part of this
investigation as it continues to develop out here in Anaheim.
So did you by now have you Googled any pictures of these
cops? I'm sorry. Have you Googled any pictures of these
cops the way they look?
Oh, yeah, no, I've seen I know. I saw that part. Yeah, it's
terrible. But
what are we getting for?
The law? No fly zone over right now.
That's right. President Obama should be calling for that. An
Anaheim no fly. This
is the police. This is a police state. Yeah. And this is the
this is what you see you've I mean it just it surprised
anybody that put up with this crap with the law. I mean, I've
been to I forgot what it was in some town just a casually and
there was a there was a small local parade. And the parade in
the parade. There was a SWAT team from this little town
because they got it they get all this federal money right and so
they're told to buy all this equipment. So they buy SWAT tire
and tanks can there was a little tank that went by and all these
people in the town. They got their flags, American flags, and
there's cheering because they're idiots. Yay.
Just don't beanbag me bro.
Yeah, it's really bad.
I think that there's I think they're gearing up. I mean, the
way we on the last episode, we heard that the feds are taking
over police departments. They're telling him to get all this
militarized gear. I mean, what are we waiting for? Is there
some out in common. This is like, was it to Kelly Keisling
or Kiesling Republican in the Tennessee State Legislature
legislature forwarded an email a crackpot email, by the way,
which was which we've heard for a long time. Unbelievable
election rumor. The rumor in question, states that Obama and
the Department of Homeland Security are planning a quote
series of events that may lead to martial law being imposed to
delay the election. Which by the way, we heard no need to do
that. Yeah, we heard this with George W. Bush as well. The same
Yeah, they're going to cram themselves.
But the Department of Homeland Security does have 400 million
rounds of hollow point bullets that they ordered. You know,
that's not for target practice.
I want to get over the internet. So there's this thing called the
home their homeland security grant programming and find it in
the Wikipedia and it is part of see it's called What is this
called stone garden funds. So London and got a big chunk of
it. They built up this military, you put you put a military in
your little town, and what you're gonna get military, right
is what I mean. It's like an invasion.
That's not good. But meanwhile, something that you alerted me
to, I'm going to say, two years ago, two years ago, on this very
program, sometimes known as the best in the universe. The war on
mail comes to a head Dennis Kucinich, crackpot Democrat,
comes out on the House floor and his P owed
Article One, Section Eight, clause seven of the US
Constitution gives Congress the responsibility to establish and
ensure operation of postal service. Today, August
1 2012 234 years after the Constitution was ratified,
Congress has presided over the disestablishment of the Postal
Service. Today, a manufactured default created by congressional
legislation is pushing pushing the Postal Service to the brink.
Today, the Postal Service will not make a payment that it
should have never had to make in the first place to pay for for
pre funding 75 years of retiree health benefits in 10 years, a
manufactured default encouraged by banks and other interest
groups a move towards privatization of one of
America's most vital services you know, the the the Congress
has a responsibility to stand up but here in the USA under
Citizens United everything is up for is up for auction including
the Postal Service wake up America universal services on
the line, wake up American stand up for the Constitution 575,000
postal service workers and our obligation to the American
people to see to it that the Postal Service is rescued from
those who want to push it into default, or privatize it for
their own province times expire. Hey, yeah,
he's we got him out anyway.
Let's get rid of it. Yeah,
you guys in trouble. You didn't get my joke. By the way. My po
joke.
Oh, po was gonna get in. You're right. I get it. Now. That was
good. Now that should telegraph me the punch line? Yes, right.
75 years ago, if prefund said this thing is a scam. I was
thinking about this. You know, think it because of an earlier
report that you just gave us on the how they can just go look at
Google Mail and whatever. Yeah. You know, the US Postal postal
service. And we have a we're looking at a scam right now that
the Bank of America is trying to pull on us. Who was we and
comedian Mimi. Oh, okay. And but we'll report on that later. But
after we make a fuss about it in a certain way. Okay. But the
point is, is that the banks have been doing this, they send you
something by mail, and then they make claims and then when they
send you something by then they'll send you something by
FedEx, which would be illegal if they send it by mail.
Oh, because? Because you can't use that you can't tamper with
the mail.
No, it's not tampering. It's also wire fraud. You can't make
wire fraud. Yes, yeah. Yeah, exactly. I make fraudulent
offers or phony deals on US Mail.
Oh, boy. Yeah, that's okay. That makes sense. They're really
gonna go all out now.
Yeah. So let's get rid of the mail because it's got all these
barriers to scamming the public out about every the last
sensitive, the last dollar in their wallet. You can't scan
them over the mail anymore. You never could. But you can over
FedEx because FedEx deliver anyway.
So now, the one thing that's important to note here is that
the Postal Service is actually in the Constitution, right? This
is a big deal.
Yeah, it is. That's the that's the fly in the ointment.
Right? Because this is not like other countries where it's
constitutional. Its constitutional. What's the word
I'm looking for? It's part of the law of the land that we have
the US Postal Service and that's, I guess, so that your
mail can't be tampered with. You can commit to wire fraud or mail
fraud, right? He's getting you to have a communication and you
have cheap communication, which is private. And so now I'm sure,
you know, he's considered just saying, you know, privatized for
their own benefit. Sure. I'm sure that's true. But at the
same time, it goes much further.
Yeah, it's another step toward a pure police state where you run
everything you do you candy, I can't even send you a private
letter that is just not looked at because everything now is
open for the government. Because snoops I mean, just everyone
will be snooping on everything. Criminals will just give up. I
mean, when you close the post office down,
so I guess they defaulted on their payment.
They said fuck it. We're not paying anymore. Yeah. Well, like
just in a shed. It was a phony payment to begin with. They
created a situation. They made him pay 75 years in advance pre
funded retirement. How do you do that?
Yeah, well, you've been saying it for years. I've heard you
talking about this on this very program.
Yes, I have and you've ever lived. I think two or three
shows ago. You mocked me for it. I've
never mocked you for it. I've never mocked you for it. I've
always been in Lagos Horowitz. Thank you. I've always been in
awe of your progress. On the fact that you just confused me
with horror, which hurts. That's a sting.
I don't know. I'm gonna have to listen to the last show. That's
a sting man. I can't believe you said that. I'm sorry. I
apologize. By the way till Horowitz Curry was right

never
your way off. I said 17 I know I'm saying

is it? No.
I did the math on this. It's seven is what the stock is
worth.
What is it today? I don't know. Because I said I said within
five months eight it's an eight.
I don't know what it is. I'm not gonna look it up. I would kill
her
so fun. I was I listened to like a douche. I listened to the
before we left to listen to the the investor call you know, I
love investor calls. It's a 20 right now. And, and Cheryl,
what's her name? Sign sideburns, Sidewinder. What's I don't know
the CEO of Facebook. Oh, I

So at a certain point, she congratulates Martha on her
appointment as CEO of Yahoo. She says March. She says Martha,
Martha. I didn't have time to go back and get a record. That's a
great one. Yeah, and we want to I want to congratulate Martha on
her her physician at Yahoo. Like really? I mean?
Like good pal bars. My
good buddy Martha.
We did the the executive producer they we remind people
to go to divorce.org/na.org/n A we did
not I apologize. That was bad of me. And now we will not do well.
So I am looking at NBC again.
Good. Someone's gonna do f
so they're opening up let me just do a little medley of
clips. Okay. They're opening up in London. Brian Williams
there's a drought going on. But the he has to go to London.
Obviously just to keep promoting this idiotic Olympics because
NBC is just up to their their ears in this crap and played
start off at the beginning so we get a feeling for what's going
on and how the big story is not even in London but played
nightly news in London tonight. We
thought that was him. The over the top Mayor of London gets
stuck over the top of the crowd. Nightly News from London begins
now.
Attention real news coming your way slaves. This is very
important. Look at Boris Johnson's crust, NBC Nightly
News with Brian Williams. Reporting tonight from the
Olympic Summer Games in London.
And good evening, once again from this global gathering here
in London where tonight just as quickly, we turn our sights
right back to the US specifically. Well it's
crippling and history making drought we're in the midst of
Hawaii. Why
London? I love back to the United States so so
I was gonna say I was gonna say I love how everyone is routing
around NBC setting up proxy servers and VPN screw those
guys. You created a bug by trying to this is why I have so
much faith in the open network that is the internet. They just
seem like oh, we're gonna block everything. No, you're not
bitches No way. You can't do that. It's not possible anymore.
Anyway.
So I'm watching this thing. And this is to me, I'm thinking this
is a news organization. And everybody else I mean, listen
mostly now to Van cats. And yeah, EURO NEWS. It's French.
Yeah. So yeah, well, so I can say 25 different ways. So so
this is a news organization. This clip is Brian Williams now
safe to rejoin us he, he's talking about the Olympics and
he, instead of giving us the news, he plays this silly game
with the audience
for our host nation here the UK team, GB Kevin Tibbles. Thanks.
And as these games progress, the metal counts are climbing. And
if for you just seeing the overall metal count would be a
spoiler of any kind. Look away now for just a moment. We'll
just show you the tally so far. For the top five nations. Here
is where we stand going into tomorrow's competition. Yes, we
wrap up tonight. It's now safe to rejoin us and still ahead.
It's now safe to rejoin us how
safe was it dangerous? Yes, it's now safe.
It's highly dangerous.
Is it? How's it now safe to reach? It's now safe, you can
look at the screen against come back. Stupid slave
slave. While we're on that, if I can just interject a quick
little clip about the Olympics about the bogus bogus nature of
all of this coverage. This is from NPR. This is the sound
designer. Now we know John and I are big audio guys. And we love
dissecting reports how audio was like, for instance, you hear
this plane overhead right now. I mean, if I were to produce this
program and make it sound like I'm being attacked by Japanese
zeros, I would put that in it. This actually is real, it could
happen. But here's the sound designer for the Olympics. He
also did the 2008 Beijing Olympics, and about what you're
hearing is fake.
Let's hear one of the probably the most challenging things that
anybody could record. This is rowing, and rowing. I should
have mentioned to capture rolling by video, you have to
follow the crew from a helicopter. This is from the
Atlanta games in 1996. This is what it sounded like.
And in the semi finals, I will point out for a second behind
frost the fastest qualifier they remind us to hits a strike just
to buy about a canvas.
Okay, as I say 1996 Atlanta, you mostly hear a helicopter, let's
listen to the Beijing rowing event from 2008. This is what it
sounds like.
Okay, you actually hear the sounds of the oars in the water
that rowing said how did you do that?
I didn't learn as well. And it was the only time I got a call
from my boss Manila marrow. But he said, All I hear is noise,
maybe noise. And he just said fix it. So I took my portable
dat recorder out to the lake. And we found different voters.
And we basically recorded the micro sound and then put it up
into a sampler. That was the first time that had ever really
been done. And using samplers and rolling has become standard.
Because of the fact rowing is covered by four or five Chase
boats, and helicopters.
So sometimes you're not hearing the actual sound. It's the sound
from some other games as a mother match, and just sampling
and just so so you get the illusion that you're actually
watching this great coverage. Yeah. And what's funny is this
report is the crappiest sound ever.
It's pretty bad. That's what got me a couple of things here. I
mean, when you're in the studio, and sometimes you got to go into
a voice room or something to do some voiceover they will often
catch the do wood, they'll capture ambience. Yeah.
Wild sound.
Yeah, whatever you want. It depends on your producer, what
they like calling it whatever the case is. They'll do that.
And then they put that in. And that's phony baloney. But to me,
this whole thing is like people make a huge fuss. And if people
saw our newsletter, notice that we have the Photoshop version of
a picture of Siri with the background of you know, they've
moved it to do Wag the Dog perfect example that you we know
has been going on in Syria. And we you know, it's in there and
it's it didn't get a lot of play in the American press. Gets it?
Of course. But it seems to me that there's no disputing these
phony sounds of the growing which they really don't have the
actual sound of and photoshopping a picture. No,
it's the difference. It's all part of programming the slaves
my friend.
Of course, there's no difference.
I have a I don't want to maybe you played his end of show clip.
This is Dutch journalist who? No Actually it's on Anderson
Cooper. I should play this because here's a I think I don't
know him personally. But here's probably a Dutch journalist who
is unwell unwittingly, been co opted into a setup. And if you
listen to the beginning of the report now what happened is he
he snuck across the border wanted to get into Syria. He was
then immediately taken hostage by what he calls jihadist but
the whole report is meant to, for him to say oh yeah, Al Qaeda
is in in Syria. That's what this is for. And Anderson Cooper
finally gets in there. But he starts off by by blowing the
whistle on what's actually happening who these rebels are
in Syria are brought into
the country by a smuggling ring and we were following well known
smuggler Ruth. And well after being here for an hour we kind
of were handed into a jihadist movements were camping at the
border. So the people
who were smuggling you into heavily edited by the way this
Syria accidentally brought you to this camp of jihadists who
were the shahada is where there's your hottest Shahada.
What is your hottest where they actually any serious
majority of them, or wherever foreign Are they from? They were
from Africa, from Pakistan, Bangladesh. Some guys from the
UK Did you instantly know
you were in there? Some guys from the UK?
That's probably Pakistanis.
No, I'm thinking it's special forces,
you think is mi Special Special Forces, special forces.
And I'm going to fast forward because the pooper just goes on,
and on and on. He's trying to get the guide to the point where
it gets shot, and he tries to escape
and away pooper you this is if you got a guy like this, you'd
be developing what he has to say into some sort of scandal, but
poopers can't do that. And CNN Well, here we go.
John shot him as well.
Where were you shot in the ass
I was shooting in the thigh. John was just shot in his arm.
And miraculously only fine only in your arm. Because I mean,
there must have issues in a nice 2030 bullets.
So clearly the guy was not meant to die. So you know, they just
shot at me, I just winged him a little bit. Every single one of
us you could have easily been killed.
At that point, I thought I will be killed with al Qaeda,
discussing with them. And we said like well, what my session
are you guys? Well, I can't say too much about it. But we're not
going to. Although we know they're down to earth.
They said that okay, this down the road alkaitis down the road.
Oh, God is down the road, John, time to go in and get to get
some weaponry. And now that we know that the President has been
providing covert support for the Saudis and Qatar, this great
nation of Qatar, the great important large nation of Qatar,
who of course, are actually in there and causing the ruckus.
Third story out front breaking news. CNN has learned that
President Obama is authorizing covert American support for the
rebels in Syria. Ha This comes as at least 170 people were
killed in the streets today. According to an opposition
group, it's important to always add that caveat tenants lease
levadas out
front, because we don't have any actual news. We're just reading
what are the Pentagon tells us to night she broke
that news and police what kind of support has the President
authorized?
Well, Aaron, we understand what it's called, is a covert finding
and intelligence binding, which basically allows the CIA and
other US intelligence agencies to provide support for the
Rebels. We have to be careful to note this is not military
assist. Oh, yeah, in the traditional sense of
CIA is providing sandwiches, Hey, boys, here's some
sandwiches and some band aids for you.
Why would you like us to cut the crust off?
Us not ready to arm the rebels leaving that to allies like
Saudi Arabia and Qatar, but what it means is that the US could
provide clandestine assistance, intelligence. And as you see,
you know, we understand this could have been in place for
several months already. And we understand that the US has been
helping Saudi Arabia and Qatar vet some of these groups because
one of the complaints is that the US doesn't know who will
will be arming. So they're trying to find how to get the
weapons into the right hands. So
this thing is a mess. I mean, we've got the administration
doing stuff we've got everyone running around. It's a mess. I
don't think Lucifer clippity clop Clinton is on board with
what the Obama administration is doing everyone's because you
know, she's just there to make sure the oil companies benefit.
And the gas companies the whole thing is a mess. But
it's a total mess. It's coming down on Bahrain as hell breaking
loose and nobody's even covering it. New York Times did pick it
up don't they ran into one of the papers this week. Oh, like
page five.
Of course, they got to do something, you know, to remain
the New York Times they got to at least make an effort.
So I was kind of fascinated by the mat did the the murder that
took place when the rebels grabbed the family of people and
then executed them? Yeah. Yeah, this just happened. This is a
huge deal. In fact, if you want to get the background on it play
human watch guy on war crimes martyr and with the martyr
quote, which is good.
The rest of the pictures are too shocking to show but they
include a pile of apparent
why is it too shocking to show?
Just gory
to dead bodies, dead bodies. We showed the entire video the
south The new Human Rights Watch and their senior legal adviser
was funded by George Soros Omada Do you
think we've just seen, it looks like what we've seen is
execution of prisoners. And that will be a war crime. Who has
done it? We don't know. Elements of the armed opposition, which
have all gone by the name of FSA have certainly been committed in
some abuses. Over the last few months, we've documented that,
but there seem to be many different groups involved. We've
also of course, documented many extensive abuses by the
government and its forces for over a year now.
In a separate video, this local commander of the opposition Free
Syrian Army appears to give his version of events
our forces were passing through here as the should be how we're
in this place. And then they started to fire on us, which led
to the martyrdom of 15 of our men spouse. Also,
I'm later in this video, the commander seems to confirm the
prisoners they took what killed okay.
So they took and butchered a bunch of guys. And of course,
this kind of screws up everything because it was really
bloody and there was a bunch of videos of it. Of course, not
none confirmed, but they look pretty typical. Meanwhile, they
the France TV station had this little thing that nobody else
had and I don't even haven't be able to find too much about it,
but it kind of explained it. And it's and the clip is called the
berry clan tidbit. Oh, I got it. I got it.
Against the very clan, powerful family in Aleppo. Like most of
the Syrian opposition, the very plan is Sunni. But unlike the
rebels, the berries have been pro Assad for years. One of the
men killed Tuesday was their leader punished for recently
joining the regime's army where she
reporting through
the shortwave radio guess what it sounds like Barry so the
Barry so this
is what is this berry? Blueberry plan the red berry the
Blackberry?
I don't know it may or may have been saying fairy as far as I
can tell whatever the case nobody else talks about it. And
then I mean even the news hours has some other name for the
group that was killed, murdered butchered by the by the Assad
Syrian Army. I'm sorry. FSA has yet to say you got it backwards.
I'm confused. So anyway, so these are the good guys or the
bad guys. But there's two things I noted one was the they killed
a guy from the berry clan who was the head of the clan because
he just joined the the Assad army no so i My understanding is
everyone's bailing out of that side. Oh, well, so So I guess
we're not getting good coverage on that. And then the one the
other one that got me was on that previous clip where the guy
just decide we're on by the way, the guy doesn't say that his men
were killed. He says his men were martyred.
So Sato Suttles.
It's when you when you're working with guys who say Oh,
yes, they murdered three of my men. You're dealing with some
some hardcore Islam mists. Yeah. And you know, this is the site
we're on and this whole thing and it with the Saudis who are a
bunch of, you know, to, uh, you know, to face group, if there
ever was in terms of at least the way they handle the
religious extremists. They pay for all the religious mosques
around the world that are all extremist also Efest even though
they themselves in the royal family are not, but they know
it's a good way to protect the family. By creating this, this
problem, and we're on there, and they are now
on their side. Yeah. Wow.
This is what got us into trouble in Afghanistan the first time
when we err on the side of the moon, moo Ha, moot. Dykema said
Now, move on Roger Dean, the mu hatia. Dean. And we we outfitted
the bin Laden 's of the world with weapons. Yeah. I mean, what
is the I mean, I don't know. It's just it to me, it's it's
beyond baffling because I know that we have American interests
here in there. But this seems like just corruption to me that
on the part of the American government
will kind of along those lines, Hillary Clinton, I should
probably play her jingle while we're at it. Since it's always
fun to make fun of her. Here we go.
The message is clear. Clip.
So she's got a message is clear in this following clip that she
was at the religious rights and freedom presentation. And there
was a question and answer section session afterwards. And
of course, the we had a shield stand up from a new lobbying
organization, and she identified herself and asked a very
poignant question to fellow
Arab countries where this is not a problem, frankly. And then,
just a quick follow up question. I appreciate your emphasis on
America. But we also have our problems here with respect to of
course Islamophobia, which is sure you're very aware of and
I'm wondering whether you have any comments about this recent
activity in Congress targeting one of your own aides.
Okay, so first of all, we have the Islamophobia meme, which is
a loaded term. Yes. Drop that bomb. Yeah, well, of course this
woman's a shill. So what will lucid for answer we got a lot of
Bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla
bla bla bla bla, edit,
I love this country, I want to be a part of this country, I
want to help build this country, I just hope I'm gonna be able to
know she's still bloodline. So it's at this
point that leadership is incredibly important. Leaders
have to be active in stepping in and sending messages about
protecting the diversity within their countries. And frankly, I
don't see enough of that. And I want to see more of it. I want
to see more of it. And notice
she's starting to get emotional because of course he's talking
about a girlfriend who home I mean,
we did see some of that in our own country. Yeah, we saw
Republicans stepping up and standing up against the kind of
assaults that really have no place in our politics. So
very interesting how she words this because she's basically
saying Republicans standing up against their own party, but
really it was against the Intelligence Committee, who had
just asked a couple questions about home Aberdeen as the
correct pronunciation. And of course this is about her
girlfriend, you know, we know that they are lovers. And then
there's a whole Anthony wiener wedding has been a sham. So of
course, she could only wrap it up by saying the following words
I have two words for you. Predator drones you go
Hello. Was that that wasn't her? Really? Really this was this
like a long, long shaggy dog story and this was like that was
fail Hold on a second I have
a total fail
you could have worked Oh
all right. I thought you had something that she said that was
well she
said absolutely nothing that was that was that was really yeah
said absolutely nothing and by
the way talking about protecting diversity is that include the
Anaheim police gunning down Latinos in the night sitting
there quietly in their own neighborhood
and the dogs on him No, of course not course not. Oh, no,
it has to do with overseas but there's always something we
don't know. Maybe Bahrain and they're protecting diversity
there seems likely not
enough it's only where we have the right interests I thought it
was there were a couple of reports I wanted to go back to
the Joker the since I'm in Colorado
the oh yeah you should be getting some interesting the
move the movies
massacre so a couple things happened first of all we have I
mean the the way the reporting is going on this guy he's he's
not the Joker anymore. No, no. And I wonder if this you know of
course we have we know the new TV series is on its way. So what
what perfect opportunity to bring in the Hannibal Lecter
mean.
This is the monsters lair your first look at the apartment of
the suspect in the Batman movie massacre. Meanwhile, he
reportedly has become so difficult to deal with that jail
guards are forcing him to wear a creepy contraption.
James Holmes has been spinning in prison guards so much. He's
being forced to wear a special protective mask like this like
Hannibal like
they actually have a picture of Hannibal Lecter in a box while
she's while she's enjoying this story. The
mask is simple and lightweight, but it forms an effective
barrier preventing inmates from spitting on guards. It goes over
their head like so and blindfolds the inmate and also
disorients them
they're black bagging the guy. Oh no. I
firmly on the back of their neck and because the inmates hands
are handcuffed behind him. He can't take it off. You it is an
action used by police subduing a prisoner in court during an
insanity hearing. It's a grim reminder of the mask worn by
Hannibal Lecter and the silence of the land.
There we go, everybody we have Hannibal Lecter in The new TV
series coming very soon. So of course we got that one in but
it's great to demonize This is really funny. But then of course
the media is being completely blacked out where his blacking
out and everything. Listen to this
in just about two hours accused gunman James Holmes will be back
in court but there will be no pictures of him this time Judge
William Sylvester put the hammer down no cameras capturing the
shooter in court. No cell phones laptops, iPads or audio tapes
allowed either All to make sure Holmes gets a fair trial.
Kangaroo Court.
fair trial, though she actually says it's like black is white.
Yes, there's no
justice a fair trial and nobody gets to see it closed
dude, better than that. Dude, he won't even do a perp walk.
Tim Spellman is live outside the courthouse in Centennial
Colorado where prosecutors are about to lay out their case
against them against Holmes rather. Good morning, Jim.
Good morning, Carol. Yeah, and just over two hours, Holmes will
make his way from the jail right here through an underground
tunnel into the courthouse to hear what's bound to be a long
list of charges against him.
Are they for real? underground tunnels? No iPods, iPhones,
videos, recorders, nothing.
Want to know what I think please? He's dead already. Yeah,
possible. So now they got to come up with I gotta come up
with they got to come up with the goods. So they got to come
up with something so they're not going to show up because he's
dead. And so the and what they do have somebody actually sees
it. There'll be some guy in a mask and you know, oh, you can't
see.
That's perfect. Of course. They'll have the mask on his
head. So it could just be anyone. It's just the central
casting. Oh, wow. Well, you nailed that. And
yeah, you're gonna have to set him up to hang himself somehow.
With the mask on his head. something's gonna happen. Oh,
very good. Well, the thing is real dead body put a mask on it
and that's that boom. He's dead cremated within two days.
Awesome. Very good animation. That'd be my other prediction.
Good one. Meanwhile, of course this is. This is just 20 seconds
of just craziness.
Another panic in a movie theater. This one. South Beach
in Miami. 100 people bolted out of a late night screening of The
Dark Knight Rises after they said they saw a man wearing back
love black gloves screaming This is it from the back of a crowded
feared theater.
Listen as much as it is just oh my goodness. Oh my
god movie goers tackled and heckled. 44 year old David S
cameo they tackled him down until police arrived. Escondido
was charged with disorderly conduct. Police say there was no
evidence of any gunshots no one was hurt during this man but
obviously very scary rush. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow.
Get more money for dark right. Rises. Wow. Yeah, he put on
black gloves and yelled This is it.
Really? Maybe he's looking forward to seeing the movie?
Michael Jesse I really are. It was a Michael Jackson fan
thought it was wrong. This is it? Where's that? This? Is it
movie? I got my gloves. Yeah, well, there you go. Welcome to
get mo nation, everybody. Don't fall for it. This is why we are
known as podcast. citizens do not be alarmed. Do not be
alarmed. Please do not be alarmed. My goodness. Else you
got
I got a long piece on Feinstein. Feinstein very rarely does
speaking. And she gave us a talk. And I have some more stuff
for Sunday. But this was her discussion. She She apparently
one of her buddies on the World Affairs Council. Got her to give
a talk and then do a q&a, which is extremely dangerous as
dangerous, dangerous, because she's not used to it. And so she
she says a few things that are kind of interesting. And I'd
rather do that right after the break for the voters. I
have a second half of the show clip.
Oh, is it a good one? I think it was let's do this. First of all,
let's start off with Feinstein finds that plate Feinstein on
leaks.
And some of the leaks we've seen recently that have created such
a stir. Do have I think some fingerprints on them from that
are not from the Central Intelligence Agency ODNI or the
department Defense Department. And how do we how do you
discipline that?
I am aware of that? I think that's a correct analysis. I
think the White House has to understand that some of this is
coming from its ranks. I don't know specifically where what
they're I think they have to begin to understand that and do
something about it. And I mean, there's one book you they can
read and they'll see it very clearly. And I think that should
be the case.
Now clearly a plant this guy
sheet Well, it's hard to say where he's coming from but she
she doesn't want to say anything It seems she was kind of she's
talking about what we're talking about. We talked about this on
the show about a month ago. Yeah, and these are the leaks
that the White House you know said that that that Obama's got
a kill list and he's laughs it up and he's and he's, you know,
he's got his own list that he checks off the boxes though this
is good thing. And that we put Stuxnet out there all these
different kinds of things. And this is what she and she keeps
referring to a book and the books he's referring to Assange
his book, confront and conceal, right, which, which is very
interesting. And I sent you a some of that has to go in the
show notes, which is Peter Bergens, June 21. Article in on
CNN, okay. And this is called the Obama leaks scandal is
wildly overblown. Ah, okay. Now crater again, is a stooge and a
member of the what's the name of minutes most new American
Muslim, bro? The new the new American found the New America
Foundation. Okay,
sounds like a fine organization.
Oh, well, this disorganization you look into this one. You have
everybody in this thing from from Craig Newmark to Eric
Schmidt. Okay, got it now as frontman Bergans a member and
it's like this. It's got it's just it's a kind of a very
strange operation. I
think I actually did some research on these. Go ahead.
I'll let you start
looking it up. And you'll see you'll remember your research.
Yeah. So Bergen is like, apparently work, you know, CNN,
which you call it, compromise network along with ABC, I would
put CBS in that, too, is doing this, this is like a hit piece
on people bitching about the leaks. But when you start
listening to Feinstein, just casually talking these this
these leaks in this book, were no small potatoes situation.
This was a problem. Apparently, some people got killed in the
process we get
in the process of of leaking this stuff. Play fine. It's
I think it's a third clip of play Feinstein on leaks, too.
I think, you know, what the President actually knows about
this is difficult, because with respect to intelligence, he is
in a bubble. He has his daily brief, called the PDB, the
President's daily, brief, early every morning. And so he gets a
briefing of intelligence. I don't believe for a moment he
goes out and talks about it. I don't believe the briefers go
out and talk about it. But who knows who else? And I think that
the importance of this has to be really set by the president
himself. And hopefully he will do it. And I think he'll most
likely read the book and see it himself.
Have you had a chance to talk to him about this? No,
Barack in a bubble.
Okay. So it starts to get interesting. Now, this is the
last part of this clip, which is that she, she makes it very
clear that these leaks that were kind of a big deal for a while
in the in the Republicans were bitching about it, we heard a
lot of bitching and moaning. And then the whole thing was covered
up by a series of articles, including this Bergen piece
about oh, it's wide, no big deal, you know, back off,
nothing to see here. The over there kind of thing, which,
which kind of took it out of the news cycle, as you recall. Yeah.
And it was only because I watched this incredibly three
hour long thing with her the world because I knew she had
this, you know, because I know she doesn't do this much. So she
had to drop a couple of little tidbits in here. Only when I
listened to Feinstein moaned about this, I realized that this
was a bigger deal, then all the news media outlets want us to
believe in this, she's arises that I think pretty well here in
part three,
because you cannot if I'm right, compel testimony from members of
his staff, nor nor is there any legal recourse because as you
say, the president ultimately has control of all classified
information. And so if members of his staff are declassifying
it, it's generally not a legal issue.
Well, that's right. And the President can declassify it like
that. And one of the things we do in our bill is ask for
simultaneous notice that we will know if an issue is
declassified. And we will know why. And see mostly right now we
don't know. And so that has its difficulties.
Let me go to the audience questions now. And one of them
is on this very topic. So it's a good place to start. Can you be
more specific about the danger of leaks who is at danger?
Well, I tried to be specific. People who help us are at
danger. We're collecting information we collected in two
ways. One is SIGINT or say Satellite intelligence, and the
other is humans or human humans. And the human intelligence comes
from people. And therefore those people who are what are called
assets for intelligence officers are, are in danger. And I can
tell you, without any doubt that with the recent leaks, they've
been jeopardized. This is
really interesting in light of what we know that Obama,
essentially or the Democratic Party, whoever was running,
Obama as president had one of her friends killed in
California. She hates him. Yeah.
Yeah. And she's trying to get this back into the public
domain. This problem. Yeah. And she said, she makes an
interesting point. They're trying to pass a bill that if
you start declassifying stuff at the presidential level, they
have to at least inform the Intelligence Committee, but um,
no, because it because I got declassified document in front
of me and the next day, and I'm reading about in the New York
Times, I'm saying, Well, what what happened? Yeah, why am I
looking at says classified? And now it's in the New York Times,
and they saw, I don't know. So it's just like, this is because
this is a big bigger deal than it appears to be.
This is good. And you watch three hours of this crap. And
this is this is what you found this good.
I find another thing too, which I'll play on Sunday, which is,
I'll just tell you what it is. But you have to hear it. The
topic changes, of course, because she's, she's there. And
she seems to enjoy it a little bit, which is not good. Yeah.
Because she's the head of the Intelligence Committee. She
shouldn't even be talking to anybody seems to me, but unless,
you know, it's up to her constituents, as she goes on the
Syria thing. And she drops the playbook right on the table. Oh,
save that for Sunday. Save it for Sunday. You can't go into
break here with the LZ Granderson. Now remember, this
is the douche knuckle who works at ESPN. He's a CNN contributor.
And of course, he's the perfect guy, because, you know, he's
black. He's got dreadlocks, you know, he's like the HIPAA
African American prototype, if you will. And he's arguing about
how Obama is so you know, he's so important for, and he's so
good. And this is really the the what you would call the liberal
view on the President's use of drones, and killing people. And
how this is being explained away.
Here's one of the points and that is, is that basically
President Obama has said that he would not support an Israeli
strike against Tehran. He says he will not support that he's he
asked Israel to stand down. A lot of people didn't think that
that was the correct thing to do, because it is their national
security. But then when Mitt Romney's foreign policy adviser
suggested that, in fact, he would back and Israeli strike
against Iran, Mitt Romney, then Mitt Romney sort of backed away
from that. So
what are we really talking about? Here? Are these just
words
we're talking about? No one wants a war. And I think that's
the responsible thing to do is to continue to push toward
peace. I don't think that you can call a president who has a
kill list. As someone who looks away when it comes to foreign
policy when it comes to national security. When it comes to
foreign relations and foreign policy. I don't think that's a
fair assessment, I you may not be happy with exactly the
measure he's taken. But to say that he's looking away and
ignoring Iran, I think it's probably an accurate way of
characterizing the way he's handled this. No one wants a
war. And no one can afford a war, which is another part of
the conversation that we're not having, we can't afford to fight
and so we're hoping that sanctions and diplomacy would be
first and what we don't need, as I said earlier, is someone who
are saying words that would incite a war.
So if I understand properly because the President has a kill
list, and you may not like that, because he has a kill list. He's
keeping the peace
that was in there. Yeah, I'd say that's not a die off the track.
That's outrageous.
gotta kill that's just I just proves he's a good guy.
I'm going to show my school by donating to no agenda. Imagine
all the people who could do that. Oh, yeah, that'd be fun.

right here at the Knights of the roundtable seven as a fly in
here who is driving me crazy and it's getting warm in the in the
bin to again didn't get cool okay so second half of the show
just so that we can you actually have crackpot material
it's well let's you can call it crackpot material I happen to
believe it's because already I have he's extremely important.
Is that anything different than you believe? Do you know I do
believe Do
you believe Do you happen to know where Wilbur Washington is?
With Wilbur Wilbur Washington I figured that's up near your camp
buzzkill somewhere around there. But when are you scheduled to go
up? Maybe never maybe not probably a couple of weeks maybe
Mimi can go and investigate something for me.
Okay, let me go Hold on a sec before you get too carried away
here I'm gonna lead by the way there is no Wilbur Washington
anywhere with that I know of in the areas farmland
John, it's farmland, Wilbur Washington.
You mean Wilbur Wilbur Washington. Some open houses for
sale to this
heirs are you ready for the report from Wilbur Washington?
Okay, hit it
we can neighbor called telling Greg about the crop circles in
the land that they farm near highway 174. The guides say it's
the third instance of crop circles in the Wilbur area in
the past five years. I guess it's our turn. Some think it is
wind damage, or kids trying to pull a prank the gods think
otherwise, I can't really rule out aliens. But you have to
wonder in the back of your mind. You know,
I'll leave that up to whoever's imagination.
When we walked up to the circles we saw that everything is very
precise. Each straw smashed to the side in a unified angle.
You got to see this video, by the way, because it is the way
that the crops have been flattened down is is beyond what
I think a human would do with a microwave oven.
We did find a long string of toilet paper that look
fresh. Take a dump or
play sport and a sign of a prankster.
But still, they just throw that in there for you conclusive
evidence.
There are many theories is way way way toward Idaho. It's
nowhere near me. Now. It's like so far east of Seattle that it
would take you forever to even find this place.
So listen. So the aliens they come and make these crop circles
and then just because they know I'm going to catch on to it the
like You know, put some toilet paper there for the work, how
it happened and who did it. But perhaps Cindy guides is the most
interesting involving aliens when they
fly over all the houses, they just put everybody to sleep.
Yep. To wake everybody up,
there are many reasons why you may not believe that these are
actual crop circles from aliens. But to give say that if it is a
hoax, sure is a long way to walk. Just a poor prank.
That's my point, exactly. as you just pointed out, it's way way
up there. Why would they do that? Why would they do that?
Because this is just another warning from them.
So the thing is about this particular report, these crop
circles are, are in an area where they have those crazy
agricultural things that make a round patch. Yeah, they're all
over the
environmental fault. This is a beautiful symmetrical design. It
looks nice. It's a pretty crop circle.
That's not as mauled John Deere,
some kids who had to poop. I'm sorry. This makes no sense at
this. Oh, yeah. We're gonna put all this effort in, up there in
Wilbur, Washington. No, John, these are warning signs and you
should heed them
who are warning sign warning for what? For the apocalypse?
September
21.
September 24, is the last day was the
last in the Red Book. September? No, it's a new date, September
21. But when did this happen? Well, when I was researching the
crop circle September 21. That's the date. That's the new date
the new
DJ, tell us about this. Because we have to have a celebratory a
show. What is that?
First check and see if it's a show date, then let's see if
we're before or after the show date. Just so we know. I'll tell
you almost I can I have September 21.
It's a Friday. So we can have that we do the 20. We have our
last show the last? Last no agenda
show. That's right. It'll be 20. Last show ever. September 20.
Last show. That's all you need to put in the book. And if on
September 21, there's no show. Well, then it won't be a show on
the 21st no matter what. Alright, I'm sorry. Give me an
on the Sunday
20. The 23rd. The 20 ended, right? I'm not 24. So
the last last official show will be the 20/20 of September and
less. This this scam fault falls through. Right and the world
doesn't end? That's right. We'll see how many people are buying
into this one because I think a lot of people are buying, you
know that what's the one that's supposed to domain calendar says
is December
21. But it's it's been moved up to September, who moved it up?
The aliens with the crop circle. People who know how to read the
crop circles are reading September 21. Yeah,
people who know the crash of the Mayans came back down into space
to do with my readjusted their calendar.
No, I think what we're talking about care, I'm gonna tell you
what we're talking about here is the big United States blackout.
The big power outage is September 21. This is what
they're reading into this crop circle. So there will be no show
because we'll have no power.
Instead of doing a crop circle. Can't they just send a memo? A
tweet, a tweet, get a tweet account. I mean, Scranton has
cropped tweets, they should do crop tweets. That would be
better. Your world will
end September 21. Decided
I do love the fact that I'm the
why would they move it up? After all these millennial? No, hold
on. This is a millennial. That was years have gone by so you
know, I think we should move this up three months. I'm a
little tired of waiting.
They had a scheduling conflict.
The summer comes in 11. The Russians are like
this is not the end of the world. This is the big blackout,
which is gonna be close enough. September 21. So last show with
power will be September 20.
So we need some hamsters in a generator. Yeah. And shortwave
radios. No, I got my license. I know my guitar. Well, I have
two months. So the ham amps. Here's here's the A J six and
Jake. Yeah, so here's some bogus stuff that's been coming out
very funny. So of course, we have to get the slaves into
believing that you know, there's all this space stuff. And of
course, you know, the space stuff that we're being shown is
nothing at all like the real deal. So of course we have all
these reports now Hey, the US flags are still on the moon.
We're still on the moon. You know why? Because we said they
are and you know what else slaves if you're on Time Square,
on August 6, you can See The Mars mission landing live on
Mars? Just don't look at the already existing bases and the
elevators so there's going to be a big psychological operation on
everybody. Oh, we finally landed on Mars and it's just gearing
you up with this the flag
on Mars you've landed on Mars before we have it now they're
gonna broadcast that live from Burbank. Why? To get you to so
you don't look at what's really happening on Mars and on the
moon. What's happening there, the moon bases and the Mars
bases, please come on, man. How many times not
even doing the you used to actually believe this bike a
note of insincerity? No,
not at all. There's no instance it but you but it's impossible
to get into because you immediately go for good reason.
You will. Okay. We'll see on September 21. Mr.
Okay. I'm putting it in the book that nothing will come of it.
Okay. Good. Good. Go ahead. So easy way to rack up the score.
Second, playing against the Chinese badminton team.
I did catch something very interesting on the State
Department news briefing. Which I love. Because there's actual
questions from actual reporters being opposed there
right that never get reported. Never get reported on this show.
So, Newland, douchebag, Newland, is Anna. Now this is about the
war on ammo. So in case you missed it, there was a big
meeting on last Friday, I believe, and at the United
Nations in New York, about the small arms treaty agreement. And
although you may be led to believe otherwise, there was no
agreement. It didn't happen. And you're going to have to come
back to it because we didn't quite get what we want. Right?
Exactly what we want is in question and this reporter who
is not Matt, the reporter, known as not Matt zeroes in
immediately and says, Okay, this is about the Second Amendment.
And just tell me when you're when you're when you've heard
enough of it, because it's rather long. But I found that
just to be fascinating how he keeps beating on about this, and
Nuland keeps avoiding the question.
At 10:14pm. On Friday, the Department put out a note about
the inability to reach consensus on the arms control on the Arms
Trade Treaty, excuse me. And you said in the note that you
supported the outcome, which of course was a failure to reach
consensus. I love that,
by the way. So he slams er right off the bat. So you support the
outcome, but there was no consensus. What's that all
about? And of course, she's got to come back and slam him.
What did you not get to the United States not get out of
this negotiation that he wanted?
Well, again, apologies for making me work at 1014 on a
Friday night as a huge Manos in negotiation. You're
sorry, you had to work. MoPhO bins
on this treaty went relatively late in New York. So we wanted
to make sure that we spoke to them. When the negotiations
concluded, what we supported was a decision to give this more
time to get it right.
To get it right, John to get it right. I wonder what's
failed, it failed to get the necessary votes. And so we're
happy with that. Well,
no, no, no, hold on. This is not before the General Assembly.
This comes up later in the in this little. No, this is just a
private as committee
that needs to be adopted by consensus. There was not
consensus in New York, there were a number of countries who
thought that more work needed to be done,
because we got to take away Americans guns, you see,
that said we did make considerable progress. And there
was a commitment that the nations will come back early in
the new year and try to conclude this treaty. What we want is
further review further refinement in order to meet the
high standards of the treaty that we could the high
standards get ready for now. This guy's already he's already
ready with this question
and that we were confident could receive the advice and consent
of the US Senate that deals with the illegal use of small arms.
The is now the illegal use of small arms John's chain somewhat
from the illegal transfer of small arms to nations that have
terrors, and gangs, now it's the illegal use. So it's things are
changing in this proposed text that we read,
while allowing states and nations participating to
implement their own national laws, and to protect the rights
of their citizens enshrined in their own documents, including,
in our case, the right to bear arms under the US Constitution.
So more work needs to be done. But we very much support the
goals. And we think that rather than trying to jam a weak
treaty, it's better to give it some more time and have
consensus when we come back.
We don't want a weak treaty now. Because what they're gonna do is
they're gonna have all these regulations about who can
actually execute their Second Amendment right, that's what's
going on?
Why do you oppose it going to the General Assembly?
Again, we don't have consensus on the text. So you would be
sending to the general assembly to the to the GA, a text that is
disputed on a treaty that we all agreed would be adopted by
consensus. So we think it'll be a stronger document, if we keep
working on it and try to get consensus
is your concern that the GA could approve the treaty or
approve the document by two thirds majority, and therefore,
any concerns the residual concerns of the United States
might have might not be addressed? As long as you get
two thirds of the countries involved to vote for it?
So the way I'm hearing this in the blackest white, yes, there's
no truth is as false is they want to get it to a point where
they can sneak in whatever language is necessary, then ram
it straight into the GA, as she calls it, the GA. So with two
thirds of a vote, it gets
passed. More Yeah, keep playing in Sudan, Europe.
Yeah, we don't think the work of this body is finished. So why
would we rush it to a vote in the TA, and particularly, given
the fact that a number of large countries, ourselves included
aren't ready to join on to the
last one for me on this, if I may, did US domestic politics,
and notably, the Second Amendment right to bear arms
under the US Constitution? Did did a domestic political
calculation in any way affect your negotiating stance and your
unwillingness to accept the current draft? So
she's getting a little testy now because he's pushing and she's
gonna lash out? Not yet. But in a second?
Well, that's not a political issue. That's a constitutional
and legal issue in the United States, matters, US law, it's a
matter of our founding principles. So obviously, as a
nation, regardless of who's in charge of the nation that has to
be taken care of, but
taken care of more broadly.
We want a treaty that can stand up around the world and can deal
with this problem. We have in the United States, some of the
highest standards in the world in terms of our regulations and
our laws with regard to these issues. And we want to make sure
that when we do this treaty, we do it right. Get ready.
Explain what in the treaty was problematic with regards to the
Second Amendment?
Well, I'm not going to get into the precise text under
negotiation. That's obviously not something that we would do
in a public forum. But
why not using the most transparent administration in
the universe, you shouldn't do that. What we want
to do is ensure that the goal of this treaty, which is to ensure
that small arms don't get into the wrong hands,
wrong hands are what are your hands right or wrong? John? Are
they right or wrong? How will
my hands are right?
In as tight as possible, right, while being true to the laws of
our own nation and a lot of other nations,
this treaty that had been under negotiation for months and
years. And during all that time, what you just found out recently
that there's something in there that might affect the Second
Amendment?
No, we're trying to put something in there.
This has been an issue all the way through how to ensure on the
one hand, the strongest possible treaty with regard to the
regulation of small arms, while ensuring that those states that
do a good job of this don't have to change their own
law. I don't I don't understand what what an Arms Trade Treaty,
how that affects the second US US national law and US
constitutional law. Again, we want the problems. Well, you
know,
you're not a lawyer. I'm not a lawyer.
Truly, oh, you're not a lawyer card on the table.
But there are a number of legal issues involved whenever you do
a treaty and you have to ensure that as you negotiate these
things, that they also comport with your existing laws and the
existing rights of your citizens.
So I think we need to keep our eye on what's happening there at
the UN headquarters. borders, because you're not a lawyer.
It's very simple. It's very simple right to bear arms. But
you're not a lawyer. You don't know what that means right hand
wrong hand. You might have the wrong hand. So we have to
determine what wrong hand is. You watch, you can put that in
the Red Book. You don't have to just walking.
There's more important things in this sort of news.
Yeah, who cares about this news? Really?
I think the big story was on the I think it was on Good Morning
America or Yeah, it was on Good Morning America. And it was the
this is all interesting and I want to play is a little long,
but I want to play this clip and then it asked, you just got
married? Yes, I did. So I want to know if any of this applies
to you play. We rented wedding,
all on rented wedding.
And we want to bring in GMA financial contributor, Mellody
Hobson to get to the bottom of this what do we need to know for
what to rent all the accoutrements that go along with
a great wedding. So the one thing you want to know is you
want to make sure you are doing what you can afford the average
wedding in this country average $27,000 And you have the median
income 52,000, which means people are borrowing a lot of
money right to have a wedding. Alright, well, we have some
examples. First, our bride This is Jill, tell us a little bit
about the bridal gown. Okay, everything she's wearing is
rented except for shoes. That's a $2,900 dress that has been
rented for $495 all the jewelry is real. Those are $11,000
earrings, a $26,000 bracelet, even the clutch $2,700
Everything rented. She's wearing about $43,000 worth of stuff.
And it's all been rented for just over $1,000 great luck and
even the bridesmaid dresses. Let's take a look at our
gorgeous bridesmaid. Okay, two bridesmaids dresses here first
on Saturday, she's wearing one that's more formal. Again,
everything rented. That dress retails for $185. It's been
rented for 75 and on Mikayla, her dress retails for 100. All
right,
I get the idea. What's the question?
You gotta go You gotta play the whole thing because it gets
better. Okay, $50
has been rented for 50 Even the flowers are rented. real flowers
can be rented. I mean, look great. Nicely done. Talk to me
about how you can possibly rent a cake. Okay, this one takes the
cake. Cake. And what they do is you can have the first tear made
as a real cake. Or you can just have one piece made as a real
cake for the photo. Normally a cake like this 1000s of dollar s
rented from cake rental.com for 125. And then what do you have a
sheet cake in the back that you cut? I didn't taste very good.
And it's not expensive. That is hysterical. And actually not a
bad idea. And what about if you want want to keep your wedding
dress for your daughter?
Okay. All right. All right. So a cake, the cake. First of all,
you rent the cake from cake. No. Does that mean who's renting
cakes nowadays? What is wrong with these people? I
think this is a genius business idea. And I think that we're
stupid that we didn't get in on it. This is a great idea. This
is great. I'm all I mean, so we because Ms. Mickey and I are
well known in Hollywood. We just got everything sponsored. And
then we sold pictures to a magazine so we could thank all
the sponsors.
Well, that's pretty cool.
I think it's awesome. We got our flowers. We got the cake we got
we went to
all free. Yeah. And we didn't even have to credit them on the
no agenda show.
And I got paid for the pictures. Not a lot but enough enough to
pay for the photographer. Are you kidding me? I got no money
for that. This is one size wedding. Well
that was done by us. $27,000 is the average cost of a wedding.
Yeah, no, I'm sure it's up there and people are crazy. This is
this is a huge industry. People are completely nuts.
So now they're depicted they're just doing a facade wedding with
everything phony and rented so they can play the play along and
hey people go elope
so you can put pictures on Facebook. That's what it's all
about. Absolutely.
Look at my cake. This is what the she said the cake was for
the photo. Yeah. Look at this cake all look at the cake she
had that cake must have cost 1000s of dollars. By the way,
those cakes. Both them look like crap for 1000s of dollars. I can
tell you right now. And I guess they're made out of Styrofoam.
Love it. Love it. Now I got I got the real news for you, John.
This is a misfire would happen there. There we go. And now back
to you.
Of course. Hey, wait a minute. Hold on. Did you have to wear
patches and stuff that had the sponsors name on them all over
you? Yeah, like NASCAR guy. Yeah.
Yeah. You saw the pictures from the globe. Now of course we have
the National Enquirer. We have the globe and we have right
what's the other one? There's another, another one as the We
Are The Star The Real News. Here it is Bill Clinton, allegedly
begging Hillary to call off their divorce before he dies of
AIDS.
Holy crap, which one was that in
in the globe front
page cover the globe. I don't trust the globe so much as they
do the Enquirer.
But we've been looking at him, we've been saying he hasn't
looked healthy for a while. He
doesn't look good. He looks like me. If somebody said he was an
AIDS patient, it wouldn't surprise me.
That of course blows my entire theory on elites and how they
dodge all this stuff.
Well, what could be just bogus salient information? Mine has
salient information of course, is that he that Hillary wants to
divorce him?
Yeah, they could be couching the whole the real story which is
the divorce part could be with the with the AIDS as a cover up.
So because I am bullshit, when it's actually coded information
that we need to know could be coded information that there
could there's a divorce going on. And it wouldn't surprise me.
There's been talk about her wanting to divorce him for
almost
forever. I'm Yeah, well, he's a douche. And she's lesbian. Yeah.
Got to war on clips. Not War on chicken, unfortunately. But we
do have the war on baby formula.
Yeah, Bloomberg,
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg wanting to ban large
sugary drinks to curb obesity. Now he's turning his attention
to instant baby formula. Starting in September, Bloomberg
will implement a new initiative that will keep instant formula
locked away at New York City hospitals. The move is to
encourage new mothers to breastfeed because of its health
benefits for newborns. Instant formula will no longer be
included in gift bag giveaways. formula will still be available
if a mother wants or needs it, but nurses will have to sign for
it first.
I think the gift bag giveaways is probably the the nucleus of
this story. Like someone didn't pay off someone. Because these
gift bags when you have a baby. You know, this is a big
marketing opportunity. So Walmart puts diapers in there
are Pampers. And there's all kinds of stuff in there to get
you hooked on that. And this is marketing. This is direct
marketing. I think someone did not pay the bill on the baby
formula.
Oh, that could be Yeah, yeah, this is the payback.
Then we had the war on weed two stories here. I'll give you the
I'll give you the interesting story that I this is not clip
edge but let me just see. The National Institute for drug
abuse. Wow. Mickey just fired up Mustang Sally. Okay. The
National Institute for drug abuse. She's got a ditch I don't
Yeah, she's out. She's like Screw this crackpot. I'm running
off with Chad, the toilet paper guy. Turns out that in the 1990s
funds were given to the Clemson University researcher John W.
Huffman. And they were researching for a cure to
marijuana addiction. And this was money from the National
Institute for drug abuse. And that they then this guy came up
with the K two and spice formula. So the Yes, interesting
yeah, isn't there's a whole story that we're looking at in
the show notes 431, that na shownotes.com And of course,
they don't know how the recipe got out. It probably posted it
on the on the intranet or something. So they're baffled
they're baffled how the recipe for k two and spice got out. But
it's so it's created by our government, according to this
report. And then we have our drugs, our Kerala kowski, who
was at he did a little talk and another dangerous question
answer session. And this beautiful guy gets up and he
just lays into Kerala kowski, who of course is having nothing
of the of his points of view. But this guy is very smart, very
educated, and he gives some facts, some actual facts, which
our drugs are is clueless about
Richard Kennedy, I'm a retired CIA economic analyst who
graduated from college before marijuana showed up on campus.
But I got interested in drug policy when I went back to grad
school a few years later. And so I've been widely used, and it
was pretty clear 40 years ago, that marijuana is not more
dangerous than alcohol. And today, we know with absolute
certainty that it's a far less dangerous drug than alcohol or
tobacco. Those two drugs are killing more than half a million
Americans every year. And the number of marijuana deaths is so
low that we can't even detect it in epidemiological studies. And
I would submit that Mr. Kerlikowske is officers
contributing to the alcohol and tobacco deaths because you're
sending the message to our kids. That only drug they need to wear
Are you bad as marijuana? And I think that's a tragic mistake.
We have a comment.
points. One, I think we concentrate on a wide array of
drug issues. We clearly don't try to prioritize which is more
dangerous than the other. So huge mistake to think that
marijuana is, is a benign substance because it clearly is
not. It's not. Legalization is in nor is decriminalization and
answer.
Now let's not look at a Portugal's not the answer when
an illegal substance becomes legal, we know that the use
increases
really, really
isn't like the infrastructure in this country. Total bull crap.
Thank you. Thank you, of course, it's bull crap. It's just
propagating the lies. It's well equipped
right now already to deal with the number of people that have
alcohol problems that suffer from the effects of nicotine. I
don't think we're in that position to take care of the
people about one in 10. And that doesn't include new users who
would become addicted to marijuana. We also don't think
that locking everyone up for marijuana is an answer. You
know, when Steven mentioned the war on crime, just lock up the
blacks. Yeah, about that for a long time. We don't think that
there's an end in sight. The officers in Seattle that reduced
crime through their dedicated work. Never thought they were
going to work themselves out of a job. Legalization isn't going
to solve our drug problem.
No. Okay. Well, good. Good to know that. There's your
position.
Yeah, just the douchebag position.
Yeah, I'll give him we just got one last short little clip here.
We have a new anonymous in Russia in the F Russia campaign.
And it was just fun to hear Erin Burnett, or burn it. As we say
in Texas actually say the words. In March
we brought you the story of the Russian punk band Pussy Riot.
I just want to hear say that a lot. These people, they wear
masks, and then all of a sudden they're the punk band Pussy
Riot. To say that a lot. Erin Burnett, we like it. Pussy Riot.
Douche Oh, okay. Do you got that? You got that? Yeah,
I got a couple of things but they're not gonna
take us on why I take us out on a high. Okay, well, here's
one. This is an NBC which is doing nothing but an Olympic
coverage. They sent some crazy shopping woman out who just came
back blathering about shopping and where you should go and how
you should what you should buy and then she kicks it and she
she she closes it with just a total what kind of thing but you
can bruise run this insane woman going on blathering on about you
by the way and get a copy of Alice in Wonderland which
everybody needs for only 35 pounds
9066 Wow. So yeah, this is just great. book Alice in Wonderland.
Oh, is this fabulous? So the original one first edition was
6000 pounds. Now this one it was rereleased. We got this copy for
35 pounds originally 38. But we but what a great thing to have.
