I'm like the canary in the coal mine here.
Quill. Yes. Adam curry, John C. Dvorak.
Thursday, August 30 2012 times you're getting donation media
assassination, episode four, three Niner. This
is no agenda.
medievalist here in the capital of the drone Star State Austin
J. Haas in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry
and from Northern Silicon Valley where we got screwed out of the
Republican Convention name John C. Dvorak. Buzzkill.
What do you mean you got screwed out of the Republican
convention? Isn't? That's all I've seen anywhere.
No, it was supposed to be in Sunnyvale. Oh,
I thought I got screwed because you know, it was my C span got
hijacked by this bullcrap. But only one of the channels, but
the other ones are running like the equivalent movie. Exactly. I
Love Lucy. Reruns are killer.
I have a book out this week. I know seeing the the interlude
between World War One the meetings of the
Yeah, exactly. How can book TV be so sometimes they've got good
people on but so boring
is which which rare? They do every one. So I have a bunch of
book TV stuff that I've kept. But it's like, it goes on for
days and most of it is just dreadful.
Yeah. So I have a little problem today. I'm kind of in a
conundrum. I will tell you right up front just so you know. None
drum. It's not a I don't think it's a conundrum. I have a an
issue.
Diarrhea. No, I
don't have that.
That's a plus.
We can just chalk that one out. No, it's not diarrhea. Would you
like to guess what it is? John? What is? It was diarrhea then? I
would we probably delay the show. No, you know, the show
from the bathroom. Yeah, we could. Oh, that's nice. And
yeah. Okay, just throw me off here. No, it was it was gonna
say something serious. You know, Miss Mickey and I we as a
wedding gift to each other. We decided to quit smoking.
Oh, here we go. Well, that didn't last did it?
What do you mean?
Oh, did you quit? Yeah, yeah,
no, we quit. But we only quit a day ago.
But that's the only quit a day go.
Yeah, but that's not that's not the issue. What I'd forgotten
about is and by the way, is this going to be easy for me this
time? I'm done. It feels just like I quit weed. Not a problem.
Not a problem. Because I know the trick and how to do this.
But what I'd forgotten is that when you smoke, particularly,
you know, and I was always smoking during the show, you
could hear the light whenever I start a clip but fire up. I
forgot what it does to your eyesight.
What does it do? Oh, well, it
means your your you got nicotine and all kinds of stuff moving
through your blood vessels. So it changes the focal point of
your eyes. So now you get blurry vision. Yes. And we'll close up.
I can't see the controls. I'd have it. Yeah, that bad if I sit
back. Well, unless the only other way is I'd have to take
off my glasses and sit really close. But then, you know, but
the thing is like I'm like a moron. I mean, it's too close.
There's got to be hilarious to watch.
It's not funny. No, it's because I if I'm here.
Yeah, it sounds like you need to go back to the optometrist and
get a different prescription.
Yeah. But do you think it'll it'll adjust after a little
while? Or should I just I'd probably just have like given a
week,
I mean, but after a week, if it doesn't adjust by then I would
suspect that it's not going to adjust.
So literally if I'm if I'm looking at your clip list, I can
I can see it okay. But anyway, so So I am impaired while
driving the show today.
Okay. Take into account when you hit the wrong clip over and
over. I
am visually impaired during the show.
Like you in the morning to you Adam curry in the morning all
ships receive boots on the ground as subs in the water and
do our Knights Templar Knights who are maintained high category
of support for the show and we appreciate the fact that they
are nights Indeed.
Indeed we do. And And I'd also like to wish a hearty in the
morning to all of the human resources in our chat room
today. No agenda stream.com no agenda chat.net. Good to see you
all charged up and ready to go. It's always fun when we stream
this program twice a week. Thursday morning. 9am. Get mo
nation West time and Sunday morning. A couple of shows
upcoming I'll be doing from a hotel room.
All right. We're gonna discuss that a little bit. Yeah, well,
just a little bit miss me Key has been picked up by a gallery.
She has representation, which is of course very excited. And now
she has a couple shows one in LA one in DC but I also on the team
member one last year on the Hot Pockets tour. We were in Chicago
for posit. Chuck, producer chuck out there. You don't remember
No, I don't
remember that. I remember even going to Chicago.
Yeah. Yeah, there were about I don't know, 40 people at the
meetup. Yeah, we were Gaga. So, you know, they kind of wrangled
me into being a speaker at the cusp conference.
Cuz cusp, cusp, see USPS CUSP or cusp, cusp, as in cusp. Yeah.
cost to do with cutting.
No, I wish. It's now it's like a I don't know what it is. It's
like it's kind of like a TED without the stigma. But that's
that sound right?
I didn't know stigma was speaking this.
Yeah, he's driving the stigma. And Miss Mickey wrangled me into
it because all she wants to do is just go to a city where they
have an h&m I think but anyway, so there will be a couple of a
couple of showrooms over the hills. You should mention that
tour. No, no, no, no, no. h&m is the only No, no. h&m is very
important for her. It's good because they have her sizes. And
it's cheap.
So I'm looking at the website, the CUSP conference that 2012 is
coming up in September, September 8 helicopters
definition of independence, some cotton design of everything is a
design conference of some sort. Yeah. Herman Miller is one of
the sponsors brand trust motor graphics. AV Chicago. Yeah, I
think design chat.
I think as a as a reward for speaking I get one of those
chairs.
You get oh, Chair. Yeah. Really? Yeah. One of those bad things
was chairs not cheap. No,
I think those chairs are probably 1000 bucks.
Let's see that the presenters are in the next cusp.
Really? Let me guess. Adam curry. Are you on there?
Are you going to speak at this one coming up? Yes. Oh, good.
You're gonna be up there with Joel bald baked bacon. Yeah. And
Marco beggin? Who are these are mercy. Are these people. Any
black of the black brothers of the black tones? Brian Christie.
I think I'm surrounded by his mother's oil paintings. I think
I'm headlining this man. While you're waiting on the list.
alphabetically buddy. I know Robert Toombs. Lee, president of
Compassionate Choices. Oh, that's gonna be very
entertaining. Oh, there you are. Right after Kook Coombs to be
Adam curry is not easy being a media sash and Adam curry
watches C span so you don't have to. I didn't write this as more
click on that. Hey, hey, Joe. Holy crap. And there's a bunch
of that's entrenched in the media business most of his life.
Adams started in radio at the age of 15. Working in Dutch
pirate radio and television before becoming widely known for
his 1987 do 94 stint as an MTV VJ where he interviewed
countless stars including Michael Jackson, The Guardian
early advocate and innovator in web technology, Adam left him TV
found on ramp which ultimately grew to 700 employees who gives
NASDAQ listed company think new ideas which he and his partner
merged with with answer think in 1999. Why are
you doing this?
I don't know. I'm just it's funny to you. I don't there's no
mention of no agenda. Really? Yeah. Yeah. It is currently a
self titled government legislate nobody listening to Democracy
Now says hey, we're doing it that woman talks like Walter
Cronkite. No. Last summer, he toured the US to meet and talk
personally, with his listeners, which whom he calls producers to
get a deeper sense of the impact of his efforts to help people
understand what drives the media and the future of the value for
value model. And it's kind of a non sequitur. But it's like, I
didn't write it to I don't know, I don't even tell I don't even
know what I'm doing when I'm going to talk about I know
what you should talk about what you should talk about
deconstructing all sorts of information, including the
information on this page.
Let me start with deconstructing this actual piece about me.
Yeah, no, that would be your show. I don't
want it to be before or after Tom.
I have no idea and I think I'm a capitalist. I think I'm done
with the topic actually. Okay. I'm kind of done.
Well, Good luck to you.
Yes, thank you. It was just a little a little programming
note. That's all that away.
Get the chair home. That's my question.
I don't know we'll package it up with the big box of h&m
clothing. There's Mickey's bringing I'm sure we'll fit
he missed last year. You missed. Artists, comic creator and
entrepreneur Molly crab apple. Are you done? Yeah,
ridiculing
monkey. Right. I do have let's go right to the
there's a real long line of people who are ridiculing me
this week. So if you feel that you want to be
ridiculing you,
really you're asking me this seriously? You live under a
rock?
Yes. Okay. Okay. We're dropping anything to do with you. Rest of
the show. So did you see the front page of today's New York
Times?
No, I did not John, one foot. Tell me what? Page? New York?
I have the go to your email and open the picture. The New York
Times does apparently not think much of Paul Ryan.
No, wait a minute. Now. Did you actually scan the front page of
The New York Times and they actually have it on the website?
Oh, well, then why do I define why do I have to go to the to
the emails?
Look, because it might be easy to find. Okay, I
got it paper. All right. Oh, it's a link. That's what I call
a hyperlink. Okay.
Yeah. Now they work.
Okay, yeah, front page scan. I wish I could see it Ryan. Wait a
minute is is he in hell?
He's wearing let's look at it from a couple of different
perspective people that watch this. You got to get all the
Thursday New York Times. There's a picture of Paul Ryan. He looks
like a little kid. Divorced from the crowd, but of I guess the
devil or whatever you were, I never thought about the hell
angle. But there you
go. Member This is with my my weird eyesight today. And all I
see is is like some Beelzebub looking shadowy figures in the
background, his head down at the bottom of the frame, by the way,
which is a very weird thing to do. And then it's just looks
like red fell fire in the background. Yeah. You see if I
can get it from the New York Times homepage,
you're not really gonna get any bigger.
So what do you what do you? Do you think they don't like him?
So your
picture would indicate to me that they don't like if you
don't put a picture like down on the front page of the paper. And
it's it's not flattering? Look,
I got a real problem with this is really been driving me nuts.
And it's, we have been divided. We've talked about this before
on the show, we have been divided to such an extent that
you I don't even know how to where to begin. But all I see is
people calling each other names, making fun of each other looking
at you know, trying to make really funny jokes like this.
This I think falls in that category. Like I got a good
idea. Let's put a picture of him in hell. You know, these are
these are just this whole Republican National Convention.
It's It's ludicrous. All it is is just people just just name
calling.
I hate it.
I hate it so much. But and everyone's like, Have you been
looking at Twitter? Cuz I used to be you could go on Twitter,
you get like some trending stuff. And then you would kind
of know what people are talking about. Now. Twitter has sold
hashtag RNC 2012. Yet, and so everything you see under that
hashtag, which has a whole special look and feel, by the
way, is is clearly monitored and vetted. So there's not really
any negative things going through. And they have like, no
RNC live hashtag, which will trend for a minute is nothing
but people just saying, Oh, I see white people who can't
dance. Oh, they hate black people. It's like, it's just
everything is racist, and they're stupid. They're dumb.
They're lame, What idiots they look in? Of course they do. But
that's not the point is that that's all that people are
talking about. And it has got me boxed in. I just feel I couldn't
I had to stop. I could not watch it anymore. I couldn't watch
Twitter. I couldn't watch television. I said and there was
nothing else on C span. You write book TV. But it is so low,
how we have sunk divided, we will fall. We have gotten to
this point. And maybe it's just techno experts who are doing
this. And I'm sure there's a lot of that, you know, the political
parties have bots and paying people to do this stuff. But
it's really rude. It's just all we do is we're just a name
Shouldn't have named collars that's what we've resorted to.
Yeah and it's a form of bullying if you think about it, a form of
it is bullying so so that's so the latest is believe in America
is a promoted which is the latest hashtag and so I just
clicked on it just see what it is is promoted by Mitt Romney
apparently. And so I go down and you saw anyone could actually
put a tweet up with hashtag believe in America and here's
one I have to give credit for from Lee Kelly's legalize a one
loves his name but it's at li l e underlying legalize the day
they hashtag legalized marijuana is the day I'll hashtag believe
in America. Good for you, buddy.
That was an actual promoted one. But see now now it's gone is
RNC? None of that's there anymore? We because yeah, they
would have had a whole different skin that would pop
up. Oh, yeah. Didn't get that.
But literally John, I just I had to look. I'm used to be able to
like sample the Twitter and get a feel of what people were
saying. It's either all negative or all positive based upon the
hashtag. We are. We're so we're so lost. We're so out of
control. We are so doomed. So and I called Uncle Don
yesterday. Oh, yeah. Because, you know, we're still
gonna go visit Bobby.
Bobby Inanna, not ixnay and I'll be back. So I call them because
we're still having problems getting Christina's passport.
And I'm like, Okay, I'm going to call into big guns. I'm calling
in big former ambassador.
When you read brief, US and white Christina doesn't have a
passport,
because she lost her passport were stolen. This is the second
time that she's had a passport replaced. She lost one
previously. And but the problem is everything was stolen. So she
has no picture ID you cannot get a picture ID without a picture
ID Apparently, yes, catch 22 as a bat, so she doesn't exist.
By the way. I recommend everybody who went somebody who
does a picture ID please I give them my Costco card.
Very good. So her mom even went whether with her to the to the
passport office. So she has birth certificates and he has
his social security numbers. He's got rental agreements, all
this stuff. And then they say no, we need some school records
from New Jersey. Anyway, so I placed two calls. I'm actually I
found the principal of her I called the school the principal
picked up he wasn't principal when we lived there. I actually
know the guy he's hooked me up but what Yeah, I called the
principal of our school you up? Yeah, with with some school
records. Oh, I'm sorry. But I called Uncle Don, because I
figured you know if anyone can pull some strings for me, he's
uncle Don four former ambassador, major, major CIA
player, security adviser to Bush senior you think the guy can
arrange some crap for me? Johnny's
apps there's no doubt in my mind he can. So
uncle Don of course is already aware of the passport problem.
So I call him uncle Garza. 84 Leave a message he calls me
back, Adam. How you doing? I love the picture. You gotta you
got an uncle Doris beautiful guy you'd love I love we just love
the pictures of the wedding. How can I help you everything fine.
Everyone. Okay, yeah, this is his his agency talking. I love
how he does that. And you know, he's taking notes. When I
started. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. He
takes the old habits are hard to break. He'll he'll be the first
to tell you that. Yeah, it's about Christina's passport,
said, You know, we're having a real problem because that hire a
lawyer. I said, that's your recommendation to hire a lawyer.
Ever since all that crap from Department of Homeland Security
came in these people are trained to be a holes. They're trained
to say no, forget it. I can't pull any strings. You've got to
hire a lawyer cut the Gordian knot. This is the guy who can
who can pick up the phone and call presidents.
Well, that's a lot different than bh.
Apparently. He says that box is closed. I can't I nope. No
string pulling nothing I can do. Is that incredible? Or what?
Well, it actually fits into my current worldview. So
I was like, wow, okay. All right. I
mean, this is like that new seal book came out. Oh, yeah. But
he's upset about and somebody was I went back on him and said,
Look, this was written by the Department of Defense. It was
written by, you know, maybe the guy that has it, the whole thing
just seems
like Does anyone actually believe that this is real that
they
that almost every journalist in the country believes is real.
Right? Because it's on paper. It's part blush them they
just saying it. I don't I think it's something scam ish about
it.
Yeah, for instance, the part where they trashed the
President, of course it's damaged. And then we have this
whole organization, this super PAC, which is we talked about
the other day. And you know, they're the former seals,
special forces against Obama or whatever it's called.
Yeah, this is a swift boating.
Exactly swiftboating, very when you want to explain swift
boating for people outside of these shores who may not
understand what that is. Because we used to just repeat it
was a technique that was now it's now it's considered a
technique, but it was invented by some Texas hotshot some rich
guys in Texas trying to undermine the John Kerry
election in 2004, when he's running against George Bush, and
so they created a they found some guys that happened to be in
the same command in Vietnam that that Kerry was in and they they
ran a bunch of advertisements Super Pac Type advertisements
that weren't controlled supposedly But Republicans going
on and on about how they were swift boating, and he would do
his assignment that was called the Swift Boat and the Swift
boats were these little patrol boats that went up and down the
Mekong Delta or whatever and carry one some sort of a Purple
Heart or someone got shot I guess but these guys went on and
on about it the guy was he was but they never saw him it was
full of crap that he was a big hero. I don't know why he's
getting even got an award. And then it was all these guys just
former boat mates, you know? Vote mate. Yeah, you guys a
loser. He thinks he was kind of even an American. We think he
was a spy for the Vietnamese. I mean, it was just one horrible
thing after another to discredit it,
but look how far we've sunk really in the script, where you
know that was Carrie saying you know I was there on the boat.
Now we're down to a fictional al Qaeda guy who had already been
dead and with a with we have like fictional all kinds of
stealth helicopters with the SEAL team members who apparently
had already died in in a shoe crash now coming out and saying
that the after what was it when they all died in the Chinook
craft? Remember that? Yeah, I thought they were all going to
how does that mesh with? What does anybody ever do any
research on that? How does that mesh with the latest indicator
that the guy who actually shot Bin Laden died?
Right? That was a story just two weeks ago,
weeks ago, right? Yeah. Well, I thought he already died in a
Chinook crash.
Oh, John, please don't try and be rational because that would
not be on board with the program. Shut up slowly. Oh,
you got this new guy?
We got the new guy who had an alias who of course we figured
out who
it was actually the department he didn't have my favorite is
the Department of Defense. Confirmed is aliased No, unless
they're in on it.
It's all meant to confuse us
well, this is very confusing. What is the name? We should
expect? Maybe somebody's listening to us right now and
what it
can explain No one can explain this and no one can
split that came out supposedly but the real true story about
the assassination of Bill not
it wasn't assassination Excuse me. Okay, but the murder it was
the capture of murder capture and murder would be captured
murder
of bin Laden and a bent the whole thing is about how Obama
lied to the public about the the actual chronology and it's the
whole thing is like, Lee
let me just play a clip just to break this up. So I did record
one thing. Now did you see the and Romney speech?
Are you gonna play some from the convention because before you're
gonna do I think I have a clip that precludes it. Okay, this I
have a clip that summarizes the Republican National Convention
and summarizes
okay, and that will help us get into my clip
once again, outstanding production work John C. Dvorak.
I liked how you fade it out, you fade it out, nicely
laid out because I knew USA. So.
Exactly. That's this is this is what we do here in in the United
States when we pretend that we're going to let people
democratically so now we have I just had to play this one bit of
an Romney because and she is the for those who don't know, she is
the wife she would be the potentially future first woman
and she went into this bigoted speech and winds up with, with
something that shows how elitist she really is that I went well,
I got a clip that I'm so sorry I have to but you have to indulge
me. So this is about how women rule the world. We
could hear a collective sigh from the moms and dads across
America, who made it through another day, and know that
they'll make it to another one tomorrow.
When Majan you ready for a collective sigh? Made it through
another day bear just getting into that
day moment. They just aren't sure how. And if you listen
carefully,
listen carefully, children.
You'll hear the women sign a little bit more. No,
when I heard that. I'm like, What is she is is he given it to
her that she's saying a little bit more? I'm like, yeah, and
come on. Let's hear the story,
man. It's how it is, isn't it? It's the moms who have always
had to work a little harder to make everything right.
Now, you know, I hate it when people do this. Because that is
bigotry. It is it is sexual discrimination. Am I incorrect?
No, I don't think you're incorrect in the least I think
you're exactly right. I didn't hear that whole speech tonight.
And I probably would not have picked up on that.
We'll get ready to be irritated because it's not just the moms
who work a little bit harder. Women really run the whole show.
It's the
moms of this nation single married widowed who really hold
this country together.
Oh, okay. They really hold the country together.
We're the mothers. We're the wives. Were the grandmothers
were the big sisters. We're the Little Sisters. And we are the
daughters. You know, it's true, don't you?
You know what's true. Now? Just to go back to Uncle Don, Uncle
Don, when I was surprised, lifelong Republican, he turned
Democrat and supported Obama. And he said, because you know,
you'll immediately just roll into I'm watching this damn Tea
Party on the national convention. I can't believe that
these people were screwed. And then he actually the smartest
guy I know. He actually says, And Romney Well, she pretty much
represents rich women. Like oh, my God had been reviewed been
reading Twitter. But this of course, this this is a factual
problem that she's standing here and saying, men, you don't
actually do it. It's only women. Ain't that right? Ain't that
right? Now here comes my favorite. This is wasn't a real
elitist moment. And
by the way, before we go into that clip, let me just remind
anyone out there, of course, we're trying to be as balanced
as we can. But can you imagine the backlash if Michelle Obama
gave this exact same speech? Oh, of course. Of
course, then it would be. I mean, this is the whole problem
is we're not even discussing what's really important. And
we're playing stupid sound clips. But I do, but I do want
to highlight what she says next. I love you when
it was that Oprah who jumped in front of the mic.
She kind of bungled around. Yeah, there she was. Oprah
jumped up. And in fact, she thinks she's Oprah. Listen.
And I hear your voices. Wait for it. There's my daughter, my
favorite fans down there. What?
Those of my favorite fans down there. Okay. This is
what you do not wish you pointing and that was your
children? No,
no, but the fact that she thinks she has fans. Those are my
favorite fans down there. You don't have fans cannot arrive.
And I've said I turn them as Mickey as you're gonna sing.
What does she is she gonna do like a lady gaga number now she
has fans. So she is out of touch with reality. And that's for
sure.
Well, that actually explains I always I've seen her on the
campaign trail on C span. And she is very personable in a
small group and she's much got more personality and her husband
who who exhibits zero personality even though people
know him say he's just trying to He's just worried or something.
I don't know why he's acting like this. But i i So I always
thought that because she was so personable that she would be a
good Keynote or somebody later in the, in the convention, and
they would I saw this on one of these roundtables all these
people and they said they put an Romney in the morning. They
didn't want her to be out there in front of the big audience.
Right and, and there was a and somebody said my guest felt the
way I did and then all these experts are apparently no are
better than I do is no, no, no, you can't put this No, no, no,
no Oh, I said, Well, what that was all about now I know.
So this whole thing this entire, and we're gonna have the
Democratic Convention coming up soon and it'll be just just as
lame now. But the thing that was quite bothersome is that this
was a riff off for at least five states who wanted to nominate
Ron Paul from the floor. And what would went extremely
underreported is that I think I told you one or two episodes
ago, they tried to change it from five to 10 states, and that
got decline. So it was five states, but on during this
convention, while they're trying to nominate Ron Paul, these five
states, because you need minimum of five states, they changed the
rules from five to eight. So they literally screwed him. So
it was so
what is the point? Why wouldn't they allow that? What difference
does it make? Romney's got to think in the back? Because they
do why can't they nominate Ron Paul, because they're old
convinced I used to watch these things. When I was a kid there
and it was like
it's their maniacal control freaks. And they need to control
everything about the message and put a show together so that the
children who are watching now will not know any better the
next time around. It's it's complete manipulation. Let me
hear Wolf Blitzer calls Rand Paul on it. You know, this was
kind of weird, you know, they they snubbed your dad, and I
swear to God, John, seven seconds of audio cuts out the
minute it gets a little tense about what actually happened.
I'll count it with you here
on the floor of the Republican National Convention, tonight's a
roll call, which you saw live here on CNN. Among other things,
Republican officials clearly snub Texas Congressman Ron Paul,
by refusing to read aloud his vote totals from the podium with
us now is the Congressman son, United States Senator Rand Paul
of Kentucky. Senator Paul, I gotta tell you, I like your dad,
you love your dad, but I liked him a lot. I was pretty shocked
to hear that they wouldn't even read from the podium, how many
votes Congressman Paul got?
Well, one of the interesting things was the crowd was
reciting how many he got so when they wouldn't announce it from
the podium? You hear an echo from the crowd of the Ron Paul
supporters who were
noticed, ran can't just say, yeah, that blows he because he's
now establishment. But listen, when Blitzer actually starts
talking about legalities, and then the audio mysteriously
drops out now counterbalancing
they do that to seem so petty and so ridiculous? I mean, your
father worked hard in the Republican Party. He went
through all the rules. I believe he didn't do anything illegal.
Getting those votes. He went through
the process. blushers making too much sense. Shut up. And this is
literally silence. You see the video going and the come right
back? Okay.
The campaign has been very conciliatory on.
I mean, they'll do this is how maniacal these people are.
They're cutting audio because Blitzer made almost made some
sense.
Well, they're probably going through a central switchboard.
Oh, yeah. A central control room. Because the nowadays
instead of like what you see in foreign news broadcasts where
you have 1000 microphones in front of someone, you now have
one, and it all gets all centralized and then as a feed
that you tap into, but you don't have to have a microphone up at
the podium. It all goes through a centralized system. And I
suspect that all the feeds from everyone are probably going
through something for suck because probably a require Yeah,
the Ministry of Truth that somebody there listening in with
a five second delay but up clicking slam it and let's just
blank it out for a while and see what comes up because
Blitzer was actually saying, hey, that sucks. You know he was
harsher than then Rand Paul is saying, you know that that's why
he didn't do anything illegal. Why are they heart? Why are they
so rough on him? And they they hit the mute button. They
literally hit it. Now, part of the reason of course, is because
and this is kind of funny. Ron Paul did have a big Convention
in Tampa, which seemed pretty full to me. And he spoke for a
good hour.
It was at the Sun dome. Yes, it was just Florida State. I
thought no, not Florida State saw that South Florida, I think
university. And it's a huge football stadium. And I'd looked
at me to be Obama sized audience. It was
big. Yeah, it was really, you know, so and they of course, he
really calls it the way it is one minute of this hour and a
half speech, which is really good. Yeah. Well,
I think the important thing that we know in this room and the
growing number of Americans are realizing that the worst thing
we can do is remain silent. How many times I've been to the
campuses, I brought this subject up about military arrests and
the problems that we're facing assassination and torture and
all these things. And I said, but how many times How many
times have you read it or heard about it on the evening news? I
mean, it's almost like there's a silence out there. But I, early
on in the campaign, I would bring up I just sort of say,
well, let me tell you a little bit about NDA. And I would think
I had to fully explain it. But as soon as I said, NDA, that
people in the audience, they were outraged about it. Which
means we're not silent. We know about it. But we have to get
around the system, which will not report on it. Because
they're part of the problem, their problem part of the
military industrial complex.
They're part of the military industrial complex. Exactly.
You're talking about the media. Yeah. Yeah.
I love that. It's so nice.
obviously true. I mean, you can see the whole thing, it's a
stage news, this picture that's on the front of the New York
Times,
but it's hard for people to believe this stuff, John, it's
hard. It's hard for them to believe that it could actually
be
really hard for them to believe it. I have gotten to this
argument with a friend who bought that seal book that we
talked about earlier in the show. You have friend he would
not listen to any alternative theory, except that guy was some
guy. He was rogue. He was a rogue see. crap and you're
buying it a rogue seal?
Really, he and this guy's probably really intelligent,
right?
He's a famous journalist.
Oh, no. Oh, no, this hurts. And he's your friend.
Oh, yeah. He's good football fan.
But this is this is exactly what the problem is. But then people
just don't
want to buy it. They can't they can't get their head around it.
It's not even fashionable because it makes no sense at
this. Let me ask you quite far off whack. But I mean, come on.
When we were talking about I was thinking I was talking about JC
about this. You know, we're talking because he he's got the
apparently the latest thing going on is with the truthers.
He's got a new argument, which is that 911 It was irrelevant.
It would have been something else this because this this
authoritarianism was in play way before 911 It was going to stay
in play, right? Just just moved it along a little faster. So,
and I immediately thought to myself, well, there you go. I
mean, Obama killing Americans have just by fiat, you know, I
think he should be dead is nothing new. I mean, Clinton
killed the Gary Weaver's wife and a kid with uh, with this new
that FBI sniper and who everybody knows who it is. He's
never been indicted. There's never been anything about it.
Ever since you go Clinton burned down the Waco operation. Why?
Why? Because he killed a bunch of kids. Why did he got to go
ran it? I mean, this is nothing new. This is the you know, this
has been going on where it began. I'm not absolutely sure.
I probably began when the CIA killed JFK. It could be on
notice. You didn't say you're crazy. That didn't happen. Your
believe that?
Yeah. That's not a crazy thing like Moon bases.
I did well, since you bring it up. I don't I I can believe in a
moon bases if I want. To. He knows I was under this week in
tech.
You know, I was told to keep you off that I only don't yourself.
I'm not talking
about I'm not talking about that show. I'm talking about the
response. That's what I'm talking about. What I find
incredibly interesting is that if you have an alternative view
on the landing on the moon, here is what I have been called in
the past 48 hours.
A Holocaust Twitter? Yes. Oh, I can look it up.
Yeah, a Holocaust denier?
What was that got to do with anything? No.
Even Leo himself said people who deny the moon landing are like
people who deny the Holocaust. He literally said this. Okay, so
worse, John, I've been called a Republican because of this. I
mean, oh, now you're kicking me in the nuts when you say that.
So somehow we've gotten to this point. And I understand why
people get upset you know, you all your life. Since you were
five years old. You think that you're going to be an astronaut,
you're going to fly to the moon. And the minute I bring that into
doubt, you know, that destroys your entire worldview. It starts
to crumble. You don't know what to do. So there's 25% of the
people say I'm gonna punch you in the fifth career. We'll see
you. Okay.
I which is bullcrap.
But that's okay. I can understand people and people who
have that immediate response. There's a lot of people and an
overwhelming amount. I They'll probably 40% who say, Well, I
think you have your right to your opinion, although that's
bullcrap, because that happened. But then the people who
literally call me a Holocaust denier, go back to Glenn Beck
and Fox News. I mean, what is that all about? When did when
did any alternative theory become analogous to right wing?
racism, xenophobia. I don't understand that birther truther
this is this is what I'm seeing now, in our normal discourse. I
was just talking about a moon landing. Little minor thing,
which by the way, would we get some rocks? Yeah, and that was
great for science. But what I'm seeing in the in the
conversation is people are calling each other these names
without thinking what it actually means. And that to me
was actually I was very excited because I'm like, Wow, if I can
trigger if I can make this Pavlovian response, think of
what I can do this. I can use it for good or for evil. But it was
fascinating to me. Literally fascinating how people will say
you don't you don't believe in that. Well, you don't believe in
the Holocaust. You Jew hater. Like what? Republican Jew hater
mean this is crazy. It's crazy John. I woke up I'm like where
am I? Can you explain this? How does this happen? Come on, man.
Help me deconstruct this
is a this is very common in a fascist authoritarian society
where you have to actually have a you have to have approved
opinions.
Wait a minute, this is what I was afraid you were going to
say. You're telling me that when a society gets to this point
where it is for fat, a fascist authoritarian society where you
have to shut up slave and agree with what the messaging is, this
is what happens so we are Yeah,
this is what this is. Oh my god well explained in the
book. I'm like the canary in the coal mine here. Quill.
Yeah, something but it this is what you get in the this read
1984 I've read 1984 Pretty much discuss discuss it. There's
other good books that are out there that have that have this
can happen here by Sinclair Lewis is absolutely that's the
one I've got to read. It can't happen. Nice short night as
short Sinclair Lewis book, it got him thrown out of the of the
liberal academic community as a
Sinclair Lewis's his name.
Yeah, Sinclair was very famous. He won the Nobel Prize for
Literature. The guy is a great writer, or he's dead. But he was
a great writer. And he killed him. Yeah. And there was even a
better a better. My opinion a better writer from that era was
John Dos Passos, who was kicked out really kicked out seriously
and turned in he kind of went from being a left winger to a
right winger. To the end he did a book that was similar. I can't
remember the name of John Dos Passos is that isn't it? Yeah,
John. And as do s, one word pasos. Pa, SS O S. And John Dos
Passos is really worth reading. Especially, like I'd had to go
look at his bibliography to tell you the exact book where he
turned on his on the liberals, which are all lockstep you know,
there were the the liberals tend to be the right wingers are the
same way. If you think about it, you have to, in fact, to be the
president, you have to have a checklist of what you believe in
and don't if you're not, you know, against abortion, and
you're this and you're that and you're split, it's just a whole
checklist. Okay, the 40 said, You marry just an inch from any
of the things on the checklist, nobody knows who puts a check,
checklist together somebody and you vary a little bit and then
your your left your lib, Rhino, Rhino and Republican name only
this kind of thing, which is probably dead. The Republican
Republic is on this with this Rhino epithet that they throw at
anyone who doesn't agree with them.
Now, hold on a second. John was the USA the 42nd parallel? Was
that it?
That's part of a trilogy that he wrote, okay,
do you know which book it is? I'm supposed to, because I'll
read this man.
I don't get it. I often think about it.
And I had forgotten to read Sinclair Lewis, I, you did the
major 14. You did tell me that earlier. But so thank you. So so
this is actually so they are succeeding now, when you've been
now No, no, but this but I have never done. I have been called
many things in my life. I'm not a very popular guy. For a lot of
reasons. But this was this was different. John, this was
different. It was the Crowd turning on you. But it was it
was the crowd turning on me for something. I wasn't I wasn't on
my pulpit go like that bull crap. It didn't happen. It's on
a lie the government's conspiracy. I said, I got I got
an alternative view, you know, whatever. It was really laid
back. But the audience, the crowd surged on me. Like you
say, like, you know, these these things that they're saying,
that's what blew me away? Like, you don't believe in even Leo
himself said, If you don't believe in the moon landings,
that's like not that's like not believing in the Holocaust.
Like, whoa. So that is what happens. Okay, so what what
you needed to go
so, so what is the next phase, John as a, as a totalitarian
state scholar of history? What is the next phase
titles by your? Yeah, but you're in demand, right? The next day
is that you have to go into the demon, demon ification of some
specific group of people, right, and that probably will be the
Muslims. And then you have to start wrapping them up, you got
to round people up. And
you got to round, but I don't think I don't think the Muslim
thing is that we got to round up something that's mutton you
know, just something much easier. You think it's gonna be
the Muslims this time? That's what we do. We just round. It
makes
the most sense. We demonize them in many ways. And even though
most Muslims, and I've said this before, and I'll say it again.
Yeah, there's a bunch of crazy Muslims out there that are
causing trouble. And they have a huge population altogether. And,
and because just a small percentage doesn't take much to
mess things up. The Muslims themselves, if you really dig
around the web, are bitching and moaning about these people. They
are, they are forget any everyone and especially the
right wingers. They've never said a thing. Why don't they
speak up? They speak up all the time. And nobody pays any
attention to him. Speaking of that, so it's that that's one of
the little twist. Things that bothers me is that they do speak
up.
Have you ever noticed that of all these crazy veterans who
want to kill the we'll get to that after we thank our
producers who want to kill the president and who go and shoot
up places to talk to you about? Can I just say one observation.
Notice how they're never black? It's like we have no black
people in in our Armed Forces anymore.
Yeah, when I think is 60% are black. Yeah. And it's
only white people who do this only white veterans who go crazy
and want to go kill everybody. So just to lead us into thanking
some some people for supporting our show. Tom Brokaw. I was
amazed that they maybe they didn't air on television, but it
was on the CNN website called they have a thing called the red
chair ever seen this? They put you in the red chair, and you
get the talk open. And candidly.
Now I feel like an idiot because I hadn't never seen this. I
don't think it's on television.
I think it's only on the website. And Tom Brokaw is
talking about how he wrote Tom Brokaw. He actually hates what
the elite news media has become, as do we, which is, I think part
of the motivation for doing the show. So listen to him.
So on the biggest weekend of the year for Washington journalists,
turn it on. And there's Kim Kardashian.
He's talking about the press corps, the Washington press
corps dinner with the president and what happened that this past
year's celebration of the elite press media and politicians in
Washington,
and Lindsey, Lauren, and people and designer gowns than black
tie. And even the president, you know, up there, kind of mocking
the press and the press mocking him out of proportion, I think
to what had had been in the past. I just think it sends the
wrong signal to the country. I can't imagine if you're out
there, small business owner in Wichita, Kansas, or a school
teacher who was worried about losing her pension in Seattle,
you tuned in to see how the American journalistic
establishment is protecting your rights. And they're mostly
interested in having the official checking in with Kim
Kardashian.
Go Tom. He's not he's not long for this earth. That's for sure.
Well, Matt was talking about where he's coming from.
But I liked that. I think that's pretty fun. Yeah, that
was a good one I have to say. And he's right. It was it was I
thought I saw that whole event and I thought it was a
humiliation for the media. Yeah, they're just a bunch of psycho
fan. Just like the idiot, you know, high school girl who's
swoons over Justin Bieber. I mean, it's no difference. Same
thing. I mean, it can't even be cool. on Kim Kardashian,
did you did you hear? I'm sorry, i Since we're here, did you hear
about the the guy who got fired from Yahoo News? No, you heard
about this. Okay. This was nuts. So his name is I see, this is
where I have problems with my eyes. DAVID CHALIAN. And so he
he used to work at PBS democracy. I think he actually
worked at Democracy Now. And he also he actually did the Charlie
Gibson. Sarah Palin interview, another nice hit job. So
they're, I guess, on Yahoo News, which maybe that's part of ABC.
Now. I'm not quite sure how it is they run a package. And they,
he said, but his mic is left open. And he's talking. And he
says, Well, I'll play it for you because it was really hard to
really hard to understand. And then I'll give you the quote,
let me let me see if you can hear it. It's it's about eight
seconds. So listen closely.
Character and exaggerate, are happy to have a drowning.
Could you hear it? Very hard, right.
I couldn't really hear it. I hear somebody drowning. Yeah. He
said, so this guy says that was him. It's not like a woman.
Yeah, well, no,
while the package is running, he says the Republicans are
Romney's are happy to have a party while black people are
drowning. And of course, the news crew cracks up because this
is hilariously funny. It's the Republicans. And he was fired
immediately. Yahoo was of course, shocked. outraged by
this, but this is outrageous. totally outrageous. I tell you,
but then Who was the woman that you hate so much?
If Well, let me think.
Eiffel? What's her name? Oh,
I don't hate her. I think she's really good. Except that she's
compromised Gwen eyeful, she totally compromised.
So she tweets out and says, oh, one mistake doesn't take away
from the fact that he's the best producer in the news business.
She actually defends the guy saying these things. Yeah, the
best producer if you're an idiot, and you don't know, not
to just shut up. But this shows the same arrogance. As in news.
This is what you don't hear what goes on behind the scenes is not
like newsroom on HBO people. And these people are extremely
compromised all of them. Now, I thought,
yeah, it's depressing.
Oh, not really. Oh, yeah. What else would we do? I mean, come
on. Well,
that means good. Producers that think that at least what we're
doing is exposing the truth. Now, we may not be getting to
the bottom of everything we get to the bottom of a lot, though.
Yeah. And I want to thank some of the executive producers that
came in for the show 439 including a number of new
knights that decided hey, now's the summer is over. So let's get
back involved. Rodney Adams, Forrest, Virginia, Senate 54321,
which I love
54321. Right. This is a ton of rod atomic rod.
Oh, this is atomic, right? Love this show. I think you're wrong
about climate change. You've been plagued by oil gas and coal
supporter propaganda. listeners can learn more at atomic
insights. Yeah, well,
well hold on a second.
Well, I'm a big I think this is a little bit. This is a little
bit biased. Okay. But we'll let him have his little moment. Hold
on a second. What have I been duped about climate change? What
is he talking about? I'm the number one guy for
his backyard news app and climate change that everybody
should go atomic. So anyway, atomic insights.com and the
nuclear literacy project call and its nuclear, nuclear
literacy.org I hope this donation starts to count down to
your recognition that fossil fuel wastes are more dangerous
than the industry wants you to believe.
I'm a little disappointed. I mean, I really appreciate rods.
Not everybody who's a knight bill is exactly lockstep with
what we think no fine No, no, but I don't mind hearing this
this these arguments because you can't argue anything unless you
hear all sides.
But the thing is, I think I'm on his side of the argument.
Well, he doesn't think so. All right, anonymous in Colleyville,
Texas, which is worse Colleyville Colleyville $500 in
the morning is a value for value across the transom, which will
complete my knighthood please Knight me sir long, the good.
Okay. All right. Cool. So you'll know what That means
I'm drawing a blank man,
sir long the good Well, that's what he is anyway. Okay. Brian

the idea.
The staff at the newsletter desk, the newsletter
desk of train journalists decided that with $48 donation
and celebration, like they had a $60 one for me. But then it
dawned on me as the editor of this product to me is that 4848
was more rhythmic. You had a nicer quality two minutes, man.

about this
kind of analysis. Anyone does. Dean sharp TA in Calgary,
Alberta. $200 in the morning of in a few weeks. So here's
another 200 I like to mention a movie called The postman. It's a
post apocalyptic music movie with Kevin costume was set in
2013. It was made 97. And although widely panned by the
critics because it's really bad, my somewhat paranoid views
are you editorializing this donation note, John,
that donation note came in yesterday and by coincidence,
and even though he's not in Arlington, by coincidence, they
were showing that movie on I think, encore. Okay, so I went
into why watch party, but I didn't see the whole thing, but
I watched part of it. And it's, it's for 2013. Everyone's on
horses for one thing. And it's about a guy who becomes a
postman to blend in with the government or something that
says to its guests. There's clips in there, and I pull them
out for this. Well, you know what,
I'm gonna go and watch that now. Sounds like this is a great
movie. If you don't like it. It's going to be a great movie.
You're gonna see the same way I saw it. Corny, okay, at least
here in Calgary in Canada, it was removed from iTunes. My
paranoid view is that is real for the new world order to allow
it. It was on iTunes but was removed about a year ago, at
least here in Calgary in Canada in general. It's worth a look.
And I'd appreciate knowing what you and Adam think. I promised
not to phone you at home to discuss.
Please don't do that. I got no time for that.
So that's our executive producers. For sure. For 39 we
want to thank them all it was a good holy moly, a great group.

sent me a box A sent me a box.
I have 8000 lanyards? Yes. And you know what? I love them.
I know you're a big fan of these
people come to the house and like here have a lanyard. Oh,
thank you. That's wonderful. That's such a wonderful gift.
And I'd have another ever have a white one to go with your drag
off over at the media offices. Don't get into those duties. I
got millions of them now
give them to the homeless people. Homeless people love
them. I will flip their cup
to it. $1 No, but I've got a lanyard.
They can clip their cup to it.
Ah, it's not a bad idea. I think homeless walking around the no
agenda show. I
think I think this is a great idea. And from now on, I too,
because you know, we have a thing here in Texas, when you in
Austin bliss, when you stop at the stoplight outside of the
city. Kind of on the outskirts of the city. You know, there's
people there like, you know, wounded veteran brain injury
can't get a job. It's very hard. You know, it's like, whatever.
But I'm just gonna say hey, man, how you doing? Have a lanyard.
This value for value. Did you give me nothing? Let me give you
a lanyard. It could be useful. Yeah, good. I think that's
better than $1
Well, it's more it's more practical. Yeah. And yeah, no,
anyway,
it is. So I like the idea. I think that's really good. I'm
gonna start doing as I go, like, what? What do you mean? What?
It's a lanyard dude.
You know, what I used to like to do when I was, I was at Tech TV,
and I was a substitute host for the show called Big thinkers. I
remember that show. Yeah. So big thinkers had these hats that say
big thinkers on the hat that were given all the guests. Well,
I ended up with a box of them after the show. Great. Yeah. And
I love giving them to the homeless. Because there's
nothing funnier than a guy standing there begging for money
with the hat that says big thinker on it. So it's kind of
sick. But I just thought it was fun.
What was the response when you gave them the hat? Were they
happy as happy with like, $1
Hey, man, thanks. Yeah, really? Does it usually have a grody
hat? They need to get swapped out the hat ones, I think.
But a lanyard could be handy for them. If they they could collect
the whole set the whole no agenda?
Badge. Yeah. Maybe she makes some homeless badges and given
that
they put it on the lanyard. If you give them to them and won't
have to hold the sign, they can just clip it onto their lanyard.
And it's a very valuable, you know, there are people now who
are now like, these guys are such incredible douchebags. They
are laughing at the homelessness in America.
Yeah, well, it's part of our totality. And with the homeless,
we're laughing with the homeless.org/and.
Please remember that so we don't become homeless. And thank you,
Martin, JJ, for your outstanding contribution to our art. We
never can thank artists enough of and that of course, was an
episode 439 If you have any plans to help us, you can always
go out and propagate The formula on your homeless is this. We go
out. We hit people in the mouth
by the way, John member we did the Taylor Swift audition.
Yeah, guess what,
but not a peep. But not a peep. Not a callback nothing.
Maybe I'm not the best director for you then I think
you are without it, then you are the absolute best director. I
don't understand how you could not be seen as the best director
in the universe.
I've been saying that. All right, onward. Yes. What else
you got? Oh, I
got some I mean, there's all kinds of things today. Yeah,
well, let's just change the dude golden light a little for a
second. So I'm there's a big rock concert. This from EURO
NEWS. There's a big rock concert and in Redding. Yeah, in a
shooting everyone's there. Now. Now I've got a little clip from
a from a report about it. And it's got a gag and it's going to
talk over isn't the Reading Festival? Is that what it's
called? Yeah, the Reading Festival in. So I have a clip
here. And this is an ask Adam. Hey, we can play the ask Adam
thing if you can find it.
Yeah, I'll play the clip first. And then we'll do the ask.
Okay. This is the clip and it's gonna have a little bit this is
now I want you to listen to it carefully.
Can I go? Yeah.
Around 100,000 people were expected at reading over the
three days with fonts in the machine, the shins and the
Kaiser Chiefs. Also on the line.
As Adam, when he knows Oh, really? Well, I don't know. We
go ask
what is the question? What the hell is this woman singing I
can't understand one word of it. And she me She sounds like a
Grace Slick want to be there? So
she's number she's Florence in the machine is.
She's Florence in the machine. I thought it might be but then
again, you know, I'm not I'm not a big.
I'm not a big fan of Florence in the machine.
But can you just tell me what her lyrics are? I want to know
what she's saying.
Yeah, yeah. Hold on a second. I can tell you exactly what she's
saying. Now listen to it again.
I think it was, I don't know. I have no idea. I have no idea
what
she's saying. Like she's over modulate, and she's screaming
she stinks.
I think she was saying, Holy Christ. Get rid of Putin. I
think it was. That wasn't Pussy Riot on stage there. John.
You're sure that was a Florence in the machine.
So I was I don't have this in front of me. But I was in LA on
Monday. Okay, I'm driving around and because what I tend to do
when I go, so I'm driving around and I go past one of these, like
a transformer or something. It's gotta be huge push the riot
poster. Oh, really? Awesome. Yeah, it said something weird on
it. Like, you know, they're auditioning or something.
Though. One of the news stories that they are auditioning for
new, they are
auditioning. Yeah, but I think I told you heard that on this
show. What are you talking about one of the gaps Why
am I seeing a poster in LA?
You know, Pussy Riot. One of our Russian
Yes. You saw that email in front of you.
I could find I have my email close but I could open it up.
Did you see the link he sent to When? When the same pushy, right
people who are used to be Vi now which was kind of their kind of
like a an RD anarchistic group there belligerence, essentially.
Yeah, they had the origin at the museum. Did you see that whole
website? The orgy at the museum?
Yeah, we're
better. Yeah. No, go ahead and explain.
This is one of our better informants. Yeah. From from from
Russia, Russia. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, he's obviously you know,
now, of course, you don't know what he's up to. But here's what
he. Here's a couple of interesting tidbits. I'm reading
from his note on show for 36. There was more than a note, by
the way, it's a long time. So it was it was essentially a
debriefing.
He's our handler from Russia.
It was it was a it was a report of some of their Kasparov's
arrests. We talked about interesting factoid he allegedly
bit the cop who dragged him typical and you're right he's a
US operative That's what you said he is professional duty is
to go and stir things up. You can remember that he wants
streamed his protest live into some commission of the US
Congress you
but get to the Pussy Riot thing because there's a lot of stuff
that he that he basically confirms that we were right. But
then the Pussy Riot thing I mean, so literally Okay,
here we go. I'm sorry by pushing right down on there is a law
large
but you have to say it differently. It's Pussy Riot.
You can't say you proceed rights pussy. I have the official
pronunciation Hold on a second. This is Reuters. Reuters and
Reuters is Ministry of Truth here it is the lawyer
representing
the three members of the Russian female punk band Pussy Riot has
Pussy Riot that is a riot see riot you can't say pussy rides
Pussy Riot
okay plus your rising offspring
correctly now
Pussy Riot nice sound like Oprah good I'm gonna print out some my
own way offspring of the art group not band Viola war, which
means you may recall Rivanna by the Kista she's there's the
people behind the kiss policewoman action, which we
thought was that mean? Yeah the
word there she the hot chick who was the one now in jail went up
you know if you do this enough in your and they're literally
they are having sex in a museum? And like a lot of sex, which is
I mean, cool. The pictures are great. Yeah, eventually you're
gonna get busted for it. Yeah, that provoking.
You also involves she will she and the group was also involved
with steel frozen chicken and vagina pants a dig on a bridge,
your FSB for which they were awarded by the Ministry of
Culture. For the paint the deck on a bridge near FSB,
paint the deck on a bridge and so they got a they got an award
from the culture minister
awesome. Back to Pussy Riot. They protested Putin and
multiple publications including on lob noia Mysto Red Square and
just got slapped with 15 bucks fine. And then here's some links
and he says the actions are motive but motivated by the
enmity or hatred of orthodoxy that brought about the church
thing and hatred against the members of the Orthodox Church.
Russian political colonists believe that they're being
financed by Boris Berezovsky have fallen out of favor
oligarch hiding in London. Yeah, this guy
is very angry at Putin. Bears offski Yep,
I think Putin took his money
that would be one of the reasons I think that's how these guys
operate. Yeah, that's how these guys operate.
Anyway, also finance possibility Ukrainian feminine. Fe m en
Yeah, those
those are the chicks who who paint themselves weirdly and are
everywhere that kind of it's I like there are like feminists
aren't a lot I think they're they're pretty cool but they're
gonna get busted to
who cut down Christian crosses and Kyiv in quote unquote
supportive pushy, right, although it backfired. As it
turned out, it was a Catholic cross groups established in
memory of communism victims. Now they're threatened to be
qualified as a dream as for cutting down other crosses, and
by the way, there have been four crosses cut down in Russia. I
see these women as part of a coordinated attempt to divide
people in Russia. In the last year alone, there was that Pussy
Riot hullabaloo Photoshop watch of Patriarchs scandal. I don't
know anything about that. And the church doesn't pay taxes
case, and lots of others, including failed attempts to
assassinate the Mufti of Tatarstan. And today's bombing
of Dagestan Sheikh also opposition began to unite with
Salafi and Wahhabi as separatists in Kazakhstan.
Yeah, I think one of the thing, the point of the email is, you
guys are pretty much only scratching a little bit of the
surface of what's really going on there.
Yeah, and it goes on and on. I mean, it goes on and on. And
this letter is quite interesting. We will be
deconstructing it so we can get, you know, our job is to do what
apparently the mainstream media won't do, which is to look into
this stuff with more than just a great name for a band. Or,
Hey, can I get a picture with Lindsay Lohan?
Yeah, anyway, so there's something going on with his
group and this guy. Well know that what's going on is it's man
and Moscow's handling handling exactly our man and
Moscow was on the scene. And it is it is anything but to it's
just to discredit Putin and make him look like crap. Because
that's what Lucifer Clinton loves. And everyone's United
seen him. Yeah.
It's an evil Web.
Yes, that's what it is. So interesting. This was big news
in New York. I only found that like a radio report of it. But a
reporter, you want to hear real Shut up, slay this is the other
side of the problem with the media. When they ask a question.
They get hammered into the ground. And a reporter a female
reporter, I believe, asked Mayor Bloomberg Hey, you know, were
these cops who you know, shot nine innocent bystanders by
accident. You know, is this like acceptable, which is I guess
kind of a valid question, don't you think John?
Yeah. See this is a procedural thing that the obviously the
cops I mean, this was not good for the public they have cops
just going crazy shooting up the place.
Well, would you like to hear the mayor's answer in response to
yours? Let me ask you this miss somebody pointed a gun at you
and you had a gun in your pocket? What would you do? I
think that answers the question the police commissioner's looked
at it they acted more inappropriately. I'd seen the
film The guy turn point his gun at the two police officers and
you can really ask that question after that. That's not how you
answer that question. In my humble opinion. Douchebag that
was the douche bag sound effect. That guy's the worst. But
isn't that is now let's go back to our totalitarian fascist
state. This is how this is how it works with the media. Shut
up. How dare you ask that? How dare you think the Holocaust
didn't happen?
That got under your craw.
Yeah, yeah, I there's some things I hate. Yeah, there's
something. No, I'm sorry. Being called a Republican is worse.
That's actually being called any political thing is worse. So
that is part of the totalitarian police state vibe when the press
just gets slammed down by the billionaire mayor who extended
his term illegally. Shut up. Just shut up. Of course, if I
pointed a gun at you, how would you respond? That's I mean,
isn't it? Isn't that crazy? If I pointed a gun to you? How would
you respond? Yeah, but I'm not the police. I'm not trained.
said Oh, are you kidding me? You think a holder they would have
tased her on the spot, man. Wow. So my sister Willow sent me
something which I didn't understand at first, it turns
out because I actually went and googled the story. And the story
is in the news today, or actually yesterday, today, the
30th like USA Today and because of some survey. I think she sent
me a clip from Law and Order Special Victims Unit. And did
you get what you copied on this email? John?
I didn't. I might have been but I didn't see it.
Okay, so this is a clip from Law and Order Special Victims Unit.
And I thought it was real. I thought it was like one of her
mom friends or something reading something into I was like, Why
is she sending me this clip of someone reading about an
article? I go on google the article. It actually is true. So
I'm not sure when this came out. I have no context behind it. But
I thought since you watch those shows, maybe you could help me.
Is this a new study published in Science Magazine, it found that
people who have witnessed gun violence are twice as likely
sometimes three times as likely to commit an act of violence
themselves. Nathan witnessed Ted Carthage shoot his mother. And
just as this study predicts, he reacted with violence.
So this clip goes on. And I Googled this, and I see, you
know, an article, doctors target gun violence as a social
disease. It's a public health problem. Because it's it's a
virus You see, when you when you have witnessed gun violence,
then you go and do it yourself. It's, and we will have a vaccine
for it eventually. But my head is like, but I'm like, what this
is this is a fictional television show. That is saying
this and it's actually now in the press. Um, Am I nuts, John,
or is this just coordinated?
Well, we were of the opinion is coordinated. But this was a show
collective of the show is opinionated that as a
collective, that it's coordinated.
This is a Yeah, the wild man that was like, I was like, Wow,
I'm a little bit more of that.
This study equates gun violence with an infectious disease.
And that is actually the study that was done. You can Google
it. Gun violence virus.
Yeah. Well, they put it most of this is ripped from the
headlines. Wow. So it would be big. They do that.
You know, no, but no, but no, but hold on a second. This is a
headline from yesterday. So this this show was produced way
before yesterday?
Oh, yeah. At least four months ago. Yeah. So sounds good.
Sounds right. Yeah. That didn't surprise me. So back, giving it
back on the Russia track for just a minute. Okay. I'm
noticing because I'm watching the different feeds of Russia
today. And they they're pulling out the old stops. Right there.
They've decided okay, We can't be the kind of you know, CNN or
you know, bam, SMB we are going to be promoting. We're going to
be slamming that competition and promote Russia. Right? So I got
two clips. That one was quite interesting because it actually
reveals a news item that I guess nobody including us even picked
up on, which is censorship by the BBC. Oh, specific
censorship. Okay, and that then we can play that clip first,
which is RT propagandizing against Western media. They just
slammed the Western media here and then they have they bring
some woman on she's a little hard to understand but she
discusses a clip that was the guest pulled and then an excuse
for a bit being pulled makes no sense
Lucy capital for fought so much of the Western media coverage is
directed against the picture Assad is trying to paint even if
that means sanitizing their own coverage.
It was another disturbing example of the many atrocities
committed throughout the Syrian war a truck bomb with homemade
explosives headed for a checkpoint to the entrance of
Syria's largest city,
right? Yeah, this is a great story i i Follow this is very,
very interesting.
But the men that are loading it onto Assad forces, they're one
of the many groups fighting under the banner of the Free
Syrian Army and their captive is said to be a member of the
Shabiha a militia with very close ties to the Assad
government. The video filmed by the New York Times and turned
into an honor segment by the BBC captured what human rights
groups called evidence of an attempted murder a potential war
crime under international law
video of rebels from the Free Syrian Army trying to use a
prisoner as an unwitting suicide bomber in their attacks on
government forces.
Now, the cameras didn't follow the prisoner who had no idea
that while being blindfolded, he was actually embarking on a
suicide mission, he simply thought that he was being given
his freedom. The very next morning, he was said to have
escaped after the bombs failed to detonate that the BBC had
aired the story on August 22. But this glimpse into the darker
side of some of the tactics now being used in the uprising never
aired again. The story was also pulled from the BBC website, the
network told me that this was due to copyright issues, that
this very video raises the question about whether such
tactics may be more widespread among the opposition than what
has been previously documented. They have Yeah,
yeah, I saw I saw the entire video on it was it was it was on
the they said the reason why they had to get rid of it as
they didn't have the rights for the web. Isn't a bull crap. And
the whole documentary I felt, which was it was maybe eight
minutes long. The whole thing wreaked of bull crap from
beginning to end. This so called leader this this guy is a great
actor, the charismatic buff, he's got the chiseled face, he's
the leader of the Free Syrian Army. The whole thing to me was
fake really. And then they got some moolah guy telling the
prisoner Hey, take a shower. You'll feel better. You know,
they show the whole bomb on the truck thing. That guy it was it
was scripted, John from beginning to end.
Well, it sounds a little dubious. Okay, we're gonna let
you go. By the way. Yeah, there we go. Put on his 40 pound
jacket. Well, yeah,
no, no, no. Didn't even say that. It's just you know, it's
like, Hey, drive this truck with the big tarp over the back.
Please
drive the truck over, please. So anyway, so but anyway, this is
our tea going after the everything. And my favorite
thing is is describing the grim situation clip where the RT
people kind of give us an overview of what's going on in
Europe, and it's quite hilarious.
With millions in the EU sinking into poverty, unable to afford
basic necessities, companies are forced to produce smaller,
cheaper goods for the struggling masses in the age of austerity.
This as the dawning of the age. Well, you know what, you don't
want that. That's about it's like, Hey, stand back. You ain't
gonna get no natural gas from us if you don't play it right.
That's what that is. That's a shot across the bow from Russia
if I ever heard one.
Yeah, it made us think so. May I say the message about you're
struggling masses in the age of austerity. There's an interview.
I think it was exclusive to some maybe the independent in the UAE
United Kingdom get my nation east. An interview with Walid
can read Walid Muallem who was the for the while the i Yeah,
who was the foreign minister? Yeah, and yeah, and so we don't
have video that I can find. Yeah, but he says that, you
know, the Americans are behind all this. This is bullcrap. That
have you Googled while he tells me who this guy looks like? Oh
give me his name again while he W I'm so frickin blind. Walid li
D wallum m u a l l e m tele he looks like tell me that this is
m u a l l e m
and tell me this is not a famous actor. pretending to be
oh, this this guy this I was thinking to somebody else. Yeah,
he looks like John good. Thank
you very much this evening. Not looks like it is John Goodman.
John Goodman is sitting there pretending to be the Syrian
Foreign Minister. I guarantee you this is just look at him.
It's John Goodman.
Yeah, totally John Goodman. There's one picture this
identical This is a I like this.
This blew me away. I'm like, What is John Goodman doing on
this piece? Like what? What is this
is funny. There's a website called Lebanon is no
good.com.blogspot.com and he's got the best John Goodman
picture to his his Arab trees and Syrian pig wants peace with
Israel. Syrian pig Waleed al Moallem. The fat Syrian pig is
willing and ready to make peace with Israel exchange embassies
drop your Iran has at the law like a bag of dirt for nothing
more than getting back half of the Gaulin. Anyway. This is a
site by a guy named Hannibal in in Lebanon, Lebanon, supposedly,
I think it's very nice that John Goodman is is is trying to help
out.
He's doing a good job he's doing.
He's doing an outstanding job. Actually. There was some oh, by
the way, hot news coming out of Manhattan. Since you know, of
course, let me just get the logic here. When it's really
hot, and you have a drought, when you don't have a lot of
water. That's apparently when you get a lot of mosquitoes who
carry the West Nile virus, which they're everywhere goes against.
You have mosquitoes in the in Silicon Valley up there in
northern Silicon Valley. Yeah, yeah, we have no mosquitoes. We
have very few mosquitoes this year. I
think the weather is too hot for them there.
But that's that's what I'm saying. When it's really hot.
You have a drought situation.
You don't have a lot of puddles.
Does that not go contra to all thinking about Wow, mosquitoes
come to be isn't that just makes no sense to me.
I'm sorry, what doesn't make sense
that if you have a drought, no water that there are more
mosquitoes? That makes
no sense. No. Why would that make any sense? They need
puddles. Well, but this is any standing water. That's how they
breed. Right.
But this is what what what is now being told right down. New
York City has had 100 plus degree temperatures, correct?
Yeah, heatwave? Well, now they're going to spray Manhattan
for the West Nile virus. Are you kidding me? i Please, you gotta
make sure that you know what they're spraying
it's the Bloomberg Love Potion. Yeah. Well,
I, I question this people just like, okay, spray away. I don't
it doesn't even make sense. You can't say on one hand, we've had
an incredible drought. You know, global warming, we're all going
to die. But because of this, we have more mosquitoes and they
have West Nile virus. You can't give me all these things at the
same time. They will do. I pulled. I pulled up a couple of
quotes for us, John. Just just to just to to prove that in the
winter of 2010, which was an extremely cold winter, we had
blizzards we had all kinds of weather anomalies storms around
the world. And what did of course we were laughing like,
there's your global warming. What did all of the
climatologist and? And weather people are? What did they say at
the time?
Well, they would say in that in the cold, the cold thing. They
would say weather is not climate, right. So it doesn't
mean anything but we expect to have they've kind of morphed
their message into extreme weather events.
Let's No no, it's not even that. But let's first go back to 2010.
I have a professor from UC Davis, that doesn't mean we are
experiencing climate change. No,
you actually can't. You can talk about changes in the weather
over the last 40 or 50 years. But you're talking about climate
you're talking about 1000s of years. We'll see
how Okay, so weather is not climate you can't say whether
it's climate now let's listen to a woman who is from the NOAA the
National Oceanic oceanic
oceanic graph rachet Oh yeah, thank you them joining us
by phone. Is Jane lube chenko Luton go straighter is the
National Oceanic
administrator.
This woman sounds like what the what the Democracy Now ladies
going to sound like in about 10 years, five years.
So this is the administrator this is like head honcho of n o
a good morning
to you. It's good to have you hi Diane, thank
you. It's a pleasure to be here.
Thank you last week, we saw some really unusual weather patterns,
not only through the mid Atlantic, but even today in the
southern part of the United States. What do you think is
made this year so different?
I think it's important that people recognize that weather,
it's not the same as climate.
Just want to make sure we have this on record, the NOAA weather
is not climate. Can we trust the NOAA John? Should we be able to
trust them?
Yeah, they're compromised. They're always gonna be
compromised in the direction that benefits them. And if they
say that, I trust it.
So I would like to introduce that woman to former Vice
President Al Gore,
the new information that I'll be focused on in this new version
of the slideshow,
right, he's updating the slideshow. John, it's the
infamous slides yo,
includes a lot of the new smashed, always hammered. Oh,
yeah, he's handling evidence linking these extreme weather
events around the world to the climate crisis. Right.
Here that right? Extreme weather event around the world is
linking it. He has proof in he has a PowerPoint lead
no longer a legitimate question for doubt or debate. I know
there's some people that don't like to hear it put that way.
But people around the world are suffering from the consequences
of the droughts and heat waves and the extreme flooding events
and unprecedented wind storms and the fires. The fires have
gotten to the point now where it's kind of absurd for anybody
to say, hey, nothing's going on. What what's what's wrong? July
was in the US the
listen to these numbers. I want you to listen to these numbers
and deconstruct deconstruct what he's saying
artists month ever measured. And wait a minute,
July. He just said July was the hottest month ever measured.
ever measured. And
crap. When I go back? Are you still with me?
I'm listening,
hottest month ever measured ever and globally, nine of the 10
hottest years ever measured have been within the last 10 years
globally, nine of the 10 hottest years had been within the last
10 years.
Okay, this is the 337 month in a row where temperatures were
higher than the 20th century average.
This is great. 337 months in a row where the temperatures were
greater than the 2020 century 20th century average. How what
do you what do you make of that number? Besides it's magic, 33
and seven?
I think is bogus. Yeah. And I think it's provably bogus. And I
don't you know, and again, the way that measuring it measuring
itself has changed as methodologies. And so I don't
know you can compare one to the other. It's like all of a sudden
you have a jacked up baseball just flies further. And you
can't compare the homeruns hit with that ball will the dead
ball era?
Oh, that's a good comparison. Actually. Let's, let's finish up
10 seconds,
then the 20th century average. And the fact that the news media
doesn't report it in that context. Every night on the news
now practically, is like a nature hike through the book of
Revelation. No, it's the
book of Revelation. Okay. Now at least I understand what's going
on Hold on a second. The sciences.
Which leads me to Bill Gates.
I'm sorry to hear that.
Bill Gates has awarded a $17 million grant to Seth kalkman.
See a ke l i c h ma N. Part of the was a Connecticut university
I believe, to establish quote, an internet based global
monitoring and rapid alert system for finding analyzing and
counteracting communication campaigns containing
misinformation regarding vaccines to support global
immunization efforts.
Interesting.
How about that, huh? Amazing. So so we'll be talking on the show.
And I'll be like, Oh man, you know you He maybe you should,
you know, consider not getting the flu shot or something. And
and then and then what all of a sudden the alarms go off and 17
million not to set and by the way, it's a $17 million website,
which I think is kind of cool.
Yeah. Interesting. Yeah, that's just the way this is part of the
whole structure of things.
So we are in a totalitarian state, John. Yeah. Have you ever
looked outside you have been held to police when you're on
your way to work, and they're not stopping crimes. They're,
you know, giving you parking tickets and making sure you
don't go too fast and keep you in line
as Has there ever been a time in recent history when we had this
when this was this kind of? I mean, please don't say Hitler,
and Hitler. Please Please tell me that something after modern
and modern world like not just Hitler that believes that the
most recent one was Hitler is that
it's Stalin was longer.
How sad is that, man? I don't think I can handle this. How am
I gonna do
you are you're in Texas? Yeah, this is true love more liberal
about this. Generally speaking, they're not as I mean, they have
their own issues Texans, you know, they get a bunch of
problems there too. But oh, you mean like me like New York City
is the worst place in the world with this idiot running it?
Yeah, well, no, Texas we have in San Antonio just down the road
they've got now they're handing out RFID necklaces to the kids
in school because they keep losing track of them. Like their
slave have your slave bracelet. Did you ever anything that you
want it to lead into our donations where they're going to
just go straight to it?
Thinking looking at the clip list? No, yeah, just one little
commentary from somebody sent a note and you can play this
refinery fire clip and and all this. You know,
this is about Venezuela. Yeah, yeah.
Venezuela's biggest oil refinery remains offline after
firefighters finally pulled out ablaze which has raged since
Saturday, and investigation has been launched into the initial
explosion which triggered the fire. The disaster which has
left at least 41 people dead has sparked a debate about safety
levels in the industry.
It's a bullshit thing. Now. I'm only playing this because we had
one of our donors some time a few weeks ago say complaining
about the Chevron refinery having its little mini fire
which I thought was a joke of a fire it took a while to put it
out but the guy says in the note he says well if that's just
because I suppose a small fire that wasn't that big of a deal
of refinery back online. He says well if that was a small fire
then I'd like to know what a big fire is. Check this baby out
here go find your photos of this this refinery is done is gone.
Yeah, it caught on. I mean, this thing is a wreck don't ever get
this thing back online. take years. That's just a little
you know. Someone else sent me know that there was a Marine
that they caught a couple of weeks earlier hanging around a
US Marine and and of course you know, they started selling all
of their oil and gas to China. And this is pretty much sabotage
I mean that I think to me, that's obvious. Yeah, I mean, we
got to get this guy offline in Venezuela has a lot got a lot of
oil, a lot of gas and you know, so you know where you're going
to do it you can you're going to say you can't get out of the
ground and just blow up the processing plant blow up the
storage blow the pipeline's this has CIA State Department written
all over it as far as I'm concerned.
Yes and but it is exemplifies what a bad refinery fire looks
like. That's my show much gold by donating to no agenda. I
imagine all the people who could do that. Oh, yeah, that'd be fun
all right. You got a few of our few people came in with some

differently where people who are in drought scenarios would
request a rain stick shot to help it rain where they are. But

This one's as
hot now, baby. So let me just look at this. An old fashion
tradition in Canada and the United States bands the wearing
of white after Labor Day. explanations for this tradition
vary. The most common is that white is a summer color and
labor Liberty unofficially marks the end of summer, the rule may
have been well, here it is. The rule may have been intended as a
status symbol for new members of the upper and middle class in
the 19th and 20th century. Uh huh. It's an elitist thing.
Yeah, that's what I'm taking a linen jacket. Okay,
because we know our schmucks don't have that. white linen
jacket stuff.
I have one. I don't wear it that much. But I have it I had it
made in in Korea. My thought was ironic in some way. So we got a
couple of 4848 Can I think you want to name you want to name

night ring. We are winding that program up not the night
program. But we'll have new night accoutrements after 1212
they were still alive at that point, of course, which is
always questionable.
So I've got a couple of clips from the from the convention
that I didn't want to run through
from the convention because I was gonna go somewhere else. But
yeah, if you guys want to get the convention out of the way,
at the end of the show,
you want to get out of the way. And then when I want to do
something good, you're gonna be like, we ain't got no time
shorter.
I never do that. Do
we really have to listen to Paul Ryan?
I was Yeah. All right, at least what I don't want to listen to
Paul Ryan, now. I want you. I want you to listen to the
governor of Puerto Rico and he gave his little speech and tell
me it didn't sound insincere and sarcastic when he just told me,
you'll hear it near the end where he's talking. He's
whispering in someone's ear. And it sounds to me, like Big
Brother being sarcastic. It's just listening to tell me what
you think.
Allow me to share an example of that spirit. I visited a soldier
from Puerto Rico, at Walter Reed Army Medical Center several
years ago, these young man had bravely serving combat, and was
given little chance to live without knowing if he could hear
me in every visit, I would whisper into his ear. I would
tell him how proud and thankful we were for his dedication and
sacrifice, adding, not everyone does.
I don't understand. That's just the way he talks. I don't think
that's all right. Did you really feel that?
No, no, I think he's, I think it was his accent. But it sounds
like it's sarcasm. Well, while the reason that came to mind is
because you're the one with this theory about Latins and the
aspect of their sense of humor, which is they
don't understand irony. Yeah, I think I think there is something
to that. But that is a language barrier more than by the way.
It's very funny. I just got a text message, Twitter password
reset code. I mean, someone's trying to reset my password on
Twitter, is that what's going on?
Or that is a spammer. And
what was funny that I got it on my phone, like an actual text
message. It sounds like a spam limit. So if you'll allow me to
move away from this convention that no one gives a crap about
and Paul Ryan, who I personally don't care about, but if you
really want to hear it, I'd be happy to listen to it.
Well, here's what I know. There's a couple things I can
you know, I can save this for further. Further.
What does it matter to a new audience? Does anyone give a
crap about
you we have a lot of expats in our real audience is still us by
80%. So you know, it's kind of
cute. Oh mean the booth done. Okay. We need
more international listeners. We could if you want to not play
the the Ryan thing, which apparently you don't. I you have
to do me a favor at least playing the summary of the
convention once again.
Okay, I absolutely agree with that. Here's the summary of the
convention.
Very good. So Brandon, Rob, remember this name?
Sounds familiar. He is
the veteran who posted some things on his Facebook and then
got a guy Yeah, taken away.
So hold him off as an insane maniac, right. He's just you
know, so he's just expressing is freedom of speech?
Well, no, this is a clear and obvious setup. And I'm not quite
sure what the what the thing is behind it. But he shows up on an
interview on YouTube. And the person interviewing him is John
Whitehead. Now John Whitehead is his lawyer but nice, not really
a lawyer. He represents this institute, which is making sure
are that we have, you know that, that everything is
constitutional? And I think we talked about this in the last
show it you know, they have, I don't know, like, seven $800,000
in donations each year. So what was the Rutherford institute
that's named rutherford.org. And so for some reason after now
Brandon is out and, and he's sitting down with him, he needs
to have an interview, which makes no sense to me if if
you've been arrested, and poor put away under some specious
law, about mental illness in the state of Virginia, they can pick
you up. I mean, you're gonna maybe fight that to the court
system, you're not just gonna go and do a YouTube interview?
Doesn't that sound kind of weird to you, John? Like, that's not
what a lawyer would recommend as the number one course of action.
I would agree with that thesis.
So I watched the 17 minutes, I pulled a couple clips, I would
like you to listen and tell me if this guy is not on a script.
So here's the gist. What do you do you have a problem breathing.
Just don't pay attention to the man behind the curtain.
Someone who has basically been put through horrific hell, for
at least a week, but we don't know how much more could be
coming from the authority
catch the phrase that gives it away. But
first of all, I'll talk to you a bit about your past who you are,
as I understand it, you're a veteran. You've been twice
overseas, you're a Marine. Tell me a little bit about that. How
did you wind up being a Marine? And what what tours did you
serve? And what did you do?
Well, very specifically, I got out of high school in 2004. And
I worked for a year and then looked at what was going on
around the world and saw how, you know, my brothers and
sisters, were volunteering to go overseas. And I love my country
quite a bit. So I figured that I kind of had voice in it. And
very specifically, it was actually I always knew that if I
joined joined the service, it'd be the Marine Corps. What do you
think?
Well, it sounds like, like, it's not what you sounds like, it's
probably scripted. And the guys promoting the Marine Corps?
Well, he keeps saying very specifically, and he says very
specifically, by the way, the guy they interview opens up with
a horrific hell, as opposed to what other kinds of hell are we
talking?
But it's not an interview with that's his lawyer. That's my
point. Wow, this is his lawyer, his lawyer doing the interview.
This is my point. So now the lawyer is going to
this is totally scripted, then I know he's the lawyer. I missed
that when you said it.
I just went through five minutes of intro about John Whitehead
being his lawyer, the represented but
I didn't know that. But that you had, you had me convinced that
this YouTube thing was the first thing because you said his
lawyer wouldn't recommend this. So I assumed that this was being
done by someone else.
I'm sorry. I was unclear. Yes, you were. This is his lawyer.
This is his lawyer. And now his lawyer is going to prompt him
because he can't remember the word metaphor. Metaphor.
Well, very specifically, by the way,
don't you love that? He's always very specifically, everything is
very specifically.
Yeah, this is a law lawyer speak. Thank you
very specifically. The line that I posted on my Facebook wall was
sharpen up my axe, semi colon. I'm here to sever heads. And
what I actually meant was that this was what we call a
metaphor. Excuse me. Yes. A metaphor. Exactly. He forgot his
line.
But he says, Excuse me, as if he knows he forgot his apologizing.
Now I had this video analyzed by some, some of our listeners who
are Marines and ex Marines. And they look at this guy and they
said, This guy is a douche. They would call him a 1369. And
you'll have to google that to figure out what that is. This
guy's a total douchebag, particularly when it comes to
him being a decorated Marine. I'll play the 32nd clip and then
explain what's actually going on a little bit.
And what kind of active combat
you know, firefighter to fall on. explosions going off. So
your life was at rest? Oh, yeah, absolutely. Absolutely.
So what did you actually so you went to Afghanistan, you went to
Iraq, you served two tours, you're a decorated Marine, what
does decorator in me?
I mean, you probably have to look real specifically at the
metals that I have. But basically, basically, basically
just that you have, you know, different different metals or
ribbons that signified and things as you're done.
Okay, so you serve your on it.
So you've got those ribbons that say I was I was here. Yes,
exactly.
It's like wood chopping ribbon. So this is you get about 20. If
you go through a couple of years, you get about 20 five
medals are ribbons for doing certain things, which are not
necessarily equatable to a Purple Heart or an Iron Cross or
an IV. They look very cute. And so the Marines that I
corresponded about and had watched this video, now they
think they're not sure what's going on. I mean, besides the
fact that this guy is a douche, he does not think there is some
agenda behind this, but I can't quite understand. Is it to show
that, that the Marines are crazy? Is it like some kind of
man, I don't know I, but this is not normal. This is not normal
behavior for a lawyer to be pulling his client out and
putting them on YouTube this way with this type of talk.
I'm not gonna argue with you, but I can't figure out why
they're doing it either. So that may be a prelude to something
else.
Well, it kind of plays into I mean, if I just look at the list
here, right? We have so the the four guys for assassin fear F E.
A are the four assassins?
Yeah, it's like, right from a James Bond novel,
who apparently, you know, gave themselves up. You know, they
were well, you know, we killed some guy, but it was
manslaughter girlfriend,
who were apparently they were going to turn him in. So they
killed them. Yeah. And instead of having no charges, or some
terrorism charges were to get dropped. They got murder on
their heads. This whole thing is really weird. It's just a bunch
of douche bags. It
didn't catch any fire. You know, it didn't catch fire in the
media, like I think it
was was the false flag that everyone was talking about.
There was supposed to be Yeah, that it was supposed to be
because they say that you bought $87,000 worth of guns and things
that go boom, and it was going to go kill the president.
It was more than that. They were going to do their own laundry
list of things they were going to do with culminating but who
screwed up how and who screwed
up somehow they screwed up on the didn't get out the way they
wanted it to
some messaging some it's one of those things where I'm guessing
we're gonna assume this is a bullshit deal. Yeah. And what
what is this picture that there's floating around all
these guys against the gray background?
That's their PR picture for no mugshot
in the world is good against the gray background. They have a
height thing and there's all kinds of things you do. This is
like very weird this gray background and the mug
shot forever enduring always ready. And then that's all
phony baloney operation no one's ever heard of this whole thing
is bullcrap. But they must have let my thinking is they left out
a key, a key piece of messaging that they've just dropped the
ball on whatever it was, we don't know, obviously, just the
assumption. They left out some key piece of messaging. So when
the thing continued on his merry way to to becoming this scandal
or something was gonna rock the country is up. Hey, whoa, whoa,
we left out Oh, geez, we got to start over.
And we gotta get some new guys. Oh, man. And there wasn't there
was more though. There was a top naval officer who would planning
to go rogue and take an aircraft carrier to Iran right in the
Strait of Hormuz and go and go blow them up. Without without,
without orders from Washington.
This is not well, how is that gonna work? And well, no, I'm
these. Why would anybody do that? Beat? Well, I think
somehow it has to show that
they're unhinged. They're unhinged.
Yeah, that they're crazy. And they're not obviously, but they
are the ones who understand tyranny. I mean, if you if
you're really conspiratorial, you'd say, well, look, what we
need to do is we need to demonize these guys didn't
didn't know, didn't we, in the past have this went to Vietnam?
Veterans baby killers did we have what was what happened in
the past?
That was, you have to wonder who if that was coordinated or not?
Because that seemed like a natural wasn't fair. Only the
government would lost control of the situation. And it was just
the public bitching and moaning. And yeah, they got a bad
reaction when they came, there was no celebrations of the
Vietnam War, for obvious reasons, and I think that was a
I don't think it was that was, you know, during an era where
the control mechanism was not, not as firm and entrenched as it
is today. I mean, everything you have to assume because of the
everyone being co opted and compromised, that every single
thing that's going on is extremely well coordinated and
it is like a minute like you always call it The Ministry of
Truth somewhere, right is checking things out and telling
people to shut up. And you know, some of it leaks out and we
cover a lot of it on our show. But for the most part, it's
pretty well locked down is a lot different than it was in the
70s. And
but here's here's what I'm seeing. Again, it's only white
guys is no women. It's white guys, no Latinos, no African
Americans, just pure white guys with tattoos, and who are crazy.
And they're veterans. That's the checklist. And if pts and you
want to put D on that are not post traumatic stress. Does that
only affect white guys?
The parently Yes. I don't know. I have no idea. With those. You
know, we've been putting a lot of pieces together for a puzzle.
We don't know what the image is. Well, it's like, you know, it's,
you know, this piece fits here. But I don't know what this
thing's gonna look like when it's put together. If I
look at all the messaging, the way the totalitarian fascist
state is going. It feels to me like all of this is supposed to
create some kind of racial divide within our ranks as
citizens of Gitmo nation. That's the way it feels, you know, do
we had this other thing? And I'll tell you what, I'll make
you a deal. Would you please play the Ryan? Ryan clips from
the convention so that I can then play the really important
clip from the convention.
I'll let you play the real important clip. I don't need to
play these Ryan clips. Are you sure? Because yeah, because the
deconstruction I'm going to do is not that interesting, but I
have a further thing. I'm gonna use these clips later. Because I
have decided for the Sunday show. If I of course I make
promise. I never commit
right after the Scholastic special.
I'm going to do that by writing the salt thing up as we speak.
Oh, yeah. Oh, that was something else we're going to talk about
today. Here on Sunday, here was the real news coming out of the
convention after we have the Yahoo News guy saying that the
Romney's would be happy to have a party with black people
drowning we have this happening at the Convention
in Tampa had a truly shocking development occurred the one
that hits home to all of us here at CNN two people were removed
from this Republican National Convention yesterday after they
threw nuts peanuts at an African American CNN camera operator and
said and I'm quoting them now this is how we feed animals.
Now this begs some context because because Wolf Blitzer
says an African American camera woman that he's drawing a
connection between I guess some racial epithet
that this story is an animal bull crap. Yeah, we'll
break it down from never happen. I don't think Yeah. Okay. So
this is more of what I'm talking about. We are being stirred up
to be angry.
Cameraman shooting the person throwing peanuts at him. Did you
have any kind of a woman camera woman camera woman camera
whatever what it was the camera person taking a picture of this.
He's got a camera. She's got a camera. You got a camera ladies
use it. Look what they did. They threw peanuts at me. Here's the
here's the video
and they called her an animal which I think what what he's
this is this is this is a racial thing for sure. And by the way,
they made it clear with the I wanted to bring this up. The
assassins the four assassins, they out of the blue. Find a
picture of one of the guys as a page in the 2008 Republican
convention. And what they take pictures of pages and document
them four years earlier. Yeah, exactly. And that means it's a
bogus this was the most bogus thing I saw on this report. As
soon as I saw that, here it is that we think it's him is his
exact same screwball name a gooey, gooey, you know, some
crazy name that no one's ever seen or heard before. He's from
Guam. Grijalva. Guamanians are named weird. He didn't look for
me and whatever the case is Mr. gooey gooey. There was a
coincidentally the same kind of Joe a gooey gooey over in the
Republican National Convention as a page because we take
pictures of all the pages, and then we document who the guy's
name is because you never know could come in handy. I mean,
that is so bogus.
Yeah, so this was very upsetting to me to see what is happening
and that's, that's the only message I've got anymore is like
Don't, don't let yourself get riled up. Because this is, this
is where it's going. This is where we're headed. It's this
kind of stuff. And, you know, there's more to that. Because
they rejected these two guys or whatever was the
quote, they shouted at this female camera operator who works
here at CNN, multiple witnesses observed this very ugly
exchange, Republican National Committee security and police
immediately removed the two people from the Tampa Bay Times
Forum, which is where we are right now. In fact, that
convention statement says that I'm quoting now, to attendees
tonight exhibited deplorable behavior, their conduct was
inexcusable and unacceptable, this kind of behavior will not
be tolerated. CNN issued a statement as well saying CNN can
in fact confirm there was an incident directed at an employee
inside the Tampa Bay Times forum earlier this afternoon. CNN
worked with convention officials to address this matter and will
have no further comment.
How about this for a further comment? Who were these two
people and let's look at their back. Obama
I like thank you I'd love to know who they are.
Yeah, no, there's no further no further comment needed
and by the way it is by definition racist to to say that
this is horrible. So let's just take it from another
perspective. is these guys are throwing peanuts thrown peanuts
at a white camera person and they say this is how we feed the
animals it's okay apparently but because it's a black or has Wolf
Blitzer says African American automatically there's a racial
undertone there I think that's the in his head maybe they're
just talking about the mainstream media being animals
like we call them douchebags all the time
Yeah, well there's not too many racial overtones with douche
bag. Now but this is this is divided you know, this is a
whole this is a hoax
divided we fall but she's this is the only thing that I'm
seeing on the tweeters now that and asked me Romney if you were
as magic underwear
which is apparently so there's our there's a there's the
discourse in the United States of America. Thanks to Twitter.
Yeah. Oh, no, but it's highly intelligent people I know. Who
are who are who have sunk down to this level.
Yeah, no, you're right. Yep. They moan about that. And they
have a bunch of issues that they can't get out of their system.
And THEY GIGGLE
Yeah, but this is, John, we are we already we've already figured
out. This is because of the totalitarian fascist state that
people are in this and the only way to let that out is to is to
call people names on Twitter. And that's good, I guess.
No, it's not.
It's not it's not good. Good. Well, I can only get
a problem with the society so just go do it. Learn to paint.
Some art. There was a this is funded
in the Soviet Union of Nazi Germany revisited. Some of the
great art emerged during a totalitarian period. Yeah, hold
his posters for God's sake.
Anyway, the wall, the Wall Street Journal, they have a bond
expert. And I guess the municipal bond market is so crap
that they have to talk about something else she was talking
about. If you feel really down, this whole video is like it was
like 10 minutes of her talking about how you can lift yourself
up on the Wall Street Journal
and listen to a little bit better tangible things we can do
to kind of rewire you to
women on the Wall Street Journal talking about prepping yourself
up so you don't feel so down to
our brains to act this way. If this just doesn't come naturally
to us, if we're people who, you know, look at the glass half
empty, as opposed to the glass half full. What would you
suggest?
Sure. And so that's interesting. The research shows you can
really change your perspective in the moment and again, this is
so important. So what you want to do when you start going down
that path of self criticism, you want to stop yourself you
literally can tell yourself, stop, stop self Hello, sell, not
sell, stop, stop.
I'm not doing this and then I asked a lot of people for tricks
that they use and they were so interesting. One woman writes
all of her passwords are self affirmations like you look this
is the
best one. Here's how you do it. Here's how you do it right
today.
You're beautiful do good works.
This is what your password should be. This is the bondwoman
at your password should be You are beautiful.
Oh interesting. One woman writes all of her passwords are self
affirmations like you look great today. You're beautiful do good
work. So every that's fantastic book computer everything.
That's fantastic. What a genius idea.
This is the kind of feel good New Age bullcrap that has been
propagated for the last 30 years in this country. Now it's come
down to this this this affirmation passwords. Oh,
On The Wall Street
Journal, yeah, well, hey, can I tell you
self affirmation passwords. So the only other thing I really
had is I, and there was some is some, some people got in touch
with you about the generics bill that we talked about the other
day. And I found out that this, it's really much deeper than you
realize. If you look at the Pharmaceutical Association, the
I'm sorry, that the Generic Pharmaceutical Association, all
of these companies have Generic Pharmaceutical companies
alongside of them. I didn't realize this. So Merck, and
Pfizer, they all have companies with other names, like, Was it
my Milan, I think it is. And they, and they just sell the
pharmaceutical version of the generic version of the
pharmaceutical drug. And they are actually the ones lobbying.
This is where it gets so funny. They're saying, oh, yeah, we
need this. We need these high user fees, the $300 million
fees, we need that, you know, to make sure that all the generic
stuff is safe. But these guys are paid and part and parcel of
the big brands just posing as generics, which effectively
leaves you know, the curry Dvorak pharma Consulting Group,
where we intended to make the five cent Viagra alternative,
where we can't afford the fees.
Yes, the lock out the competitors.
Yeah, but I had no idea that there were these really big
now most of them like Merck, and all these big companies, they
make most of the generics.
Yeah, but they sell them on there. But they Oh, yeah. Little
Company. Yeah, I didn't know that. That was that was
completely new to me. Like, oh, okay, because it
makes sense. If you think about it. Well, they actually had a
little value. I think, by the way, I'm always convinced that a
lot of these clone inks for your printer.
Yeah. Or just the same company? Yeah, yeah. Or like the fake
Chanel handbags? Yeah. So here's a little bit of their video of
where they
made money on both ends of the deal. I guess somebody's gonna
buy the Clinique, whether you like it or not, you might as
well be selling it too. I
agree. I totally agree. On
average, only two of every 10 new drugs approved by the FDA
will ever earned revenues that exceed average research and
development costs, revenues that are needed to support the cost
of many drug candidates that don't make it and to fund future
r&d projects. Generics, on the other hand, have very low
research costs because they are approved by the FDA based on the
research done by the company that developed the original
brand drug. They're stealing from us. They're cheating. They
don't pay any money for r&d.
Yeah, you'd like you didn't make billions and billions and
billions and billions of dollars in that then and also, you take
a look at your history and see what the patent thing was all
about to begin with. Is this kind of propaganda is
disgusting.
I liked your, your analysis in was that MarketWatch about the
sang, sang, sang song samsam some apple suit
that was in PC Magazine.
Oh, that was it was good. I liked that. Well, you said
basically Apple lost. Although I was like it
yeah, Apple lost.
You want to explain why they lost I love it. I
love I love your billion dollars is going to exchange but it's
worth more than a billion dollars to Samsung and all the
other Android makers for that matter. Because all this case
proved was that there's they're the same the whole case was
about the iPhone is the same as a Samsung phone. And then are
the Samsung phones the same as an iPhone and therefore they're
stealing from us. But they went on and on and they overdid it.
They went to the point where they had Susan Kerr come on and
testify that she had a Samsung phone and swore on a stack of
Bibles that it was an Apple iPhone. This is putting the
wrong message out there. The Apple iPhone now is not special.
It's the same as a Samsung phone so you're gonna make a decision
at the end of the day. Yeah, they're gonna change a few
icons, but it's still going to be the same. The end of the day
when you go into the into the store to buy one of these phones
and a Samsung phone is half the price of the iPhone. What are
you going to do? What's the same thing I'll just buy the cheap
one is a huge blunder. I do not understand why they did that.
It's just the hubris of Apple. They always Sue everybody
they've been lawsuit happy since the days of the apple two, and
they can't get it out of their system. They should have shut up
and just bitched and moaned a little bit. That billion dollars
was not is money well spent by Samsung, they have this outcome
and they still might not have to pay it. The damage is done.
So just to recap on that, which was a beautiful diatribe because
the lawsuit essentially says they're the same. It was a
billion dollar marketing campaign by Samsung money well
spent Yeah, fantastic.
And by the way, I've also mentioned that column and this
is, this is a parallel of what happened to the mp3 world. When
mp3 is first came out in the 90s. Nobody was just up students
were using them. And it was the RIA that kept drawing attention
to mp3 is more and more attention. This is stealing
music. Wait a minute, it's not even the same format as an mp3.
It must be the same. I mean, then they kept suing and losing
and winning and suing and losing and winning. And it was just
like, went from nobody knew what an mp3 was. To everybody knowing
what an mp3 is. Thanks for.
Thanks for the promo, everybody.
So anyway, that's my argument. Yeah, no, I like it. Nobody else
took that argument.
Well, no, of course not. I think I listened to hours of analysis
by by non practicing lawyers or think they know what they're
talking about your analysis is without a doubt the best
analysis in the universe all part and parcel of I would
agree, now walk us out of here. What do you got? You want to
play? Come on and do something don't only play the summary
again.
Okay, well, why don't we go with the ask, can we get the Puerto
Rican? Oh, yeah. Okay, this will be the last one. So I'm watching
the NHK, which is Japanese TV. And you guys, you know, I'm
spending all my time watching these foreign stuff now.
Don't they make sparkplugs any H
NHK, which is the Japanese Nippon some or other that says
it has an infrared but they have it in for Obama. I don't know
why. But the Japanese government supported station essentially is
pro Romney to such an extreme that they're there. It's like
just wearing it on their sleeves. Just watch this this
little snippet from a longer report that just goes on and on
about how great Romney is.
Romney has worked for years toward the nomination, but many
Americans still wonder what he stands for. And it can worlds
Matt Field has more from tampon Mitt Romney says he has the
experience to lead something he says President Barack Obama has
not led an economic recovery. To get this economy going again
with more jobs, and more take on faith. Voters four years ago
bought Obama's promises of change. But Republicans and
Democrats remain divided. And the jobless rate has stuck above
8%. People who didn't vote for him are just disappointed.
Anyone else?
I don't see any tax breaks coming my way. So it's been
tough, tough four years.
Romney rebuilt company after company as the chief executive
of Bain Capital. And he led the organizing committee for the
2002 Winter Olympics.
Okay, couple things. First of all, they need to fire their
editor unless that was you. Unless you
don't know about the dead air. Oh, this sucks. blows it they
have like a gate on her sending. The guy stops talking because
the dead silence. Okay. It's just some Japanese technology
question. Question number two, who is this broadcast for? It's
not a Nipponese. So this is meant to propagandize Americans
who was watching this, who was the intended audience of NHK.
In this regard, and the English version is for, like Singapore.
It's for Americans who are interested in Japan or they have
something to do with Japan. And probably some expats. And I
don't know, I have no idea what the what the weird, complete
this thing where they had, especially when he they clipped
to the two people instead of having a balanced report, first
they say, well, and he used the term Americans bought into.
Yeah, it's a good term. loaded one, I think, Wow, this is when
I heard bought into I'm thinking, Okay, sounds like this
is this is a propaganda piece. And they had two people
bitching, and they didn't have anybody on the other side, it
was unbalanced in the least. So what is going on at this would
happen in the first place? And why is it being? Why is it being
done? And what is the Japanese what's their beef? They get a
complaint? What is it I like to know?
Apparently, well, maybe maybe we're not doing the right job
with the SEC cuckoo islands?
I don't know. I don't know. There's something going on.
Notice. This is a this was a hit piece on Obama. Yeah. And it was
done for a reason. And it wasn't just somebody who listened to
that, who's got some Japanese content, which is going to have
some idea about what's going to have to tell us what the heck's
going on with the Japanese and Obama.
By the way, I was not far off. It's in GK spark plugs. You
think I'm crazy, right. But there are NGK spark plugs are
big.
Yeah, well, I didn't think you're crazy. I thought it was a
funny line. I actually
meant it was not meant as humor. Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to
distract you. Okay, so I will go to the optometrist. optician
what is it?
No optometrist opticians are just fit you for glasses and I
have to have new go to an ophthalmologist actually what is
that? What is it whatever they do. It's a doctor who can not
only see what the hell's ideal is even give you drugs. Drugs,
drugs, man, I'm smoke free. I'm drug free. And, but it's just
now modal blind. Let's, we'll work on that. So on Sunday,
we'll talk about salt. We'll have an analysis of Paul Ryan
and the Scholastic episode. That's fantastic. I don't even
have to show up. Yeah, no, you don't. Coming to you from the
capital of the drone Star state here in Austin Jay Haas in the
morning, everybody. My name is Adam curry. And from
Northern Silicon Valley where we missed out on getting the
convention. I'm John C. Dvorak.
We will talk to you again on Sunday right here. On no
agenda.org/n
A
