He's in the water. Adam curry,
John C. Dvorak. Sunday, September 9 2012. Time if you're
getting on social media assassination episode 442. This
is no agenda. Still a certified and proud denialist here in the
capital of the drone Star State Austin teh house in the morning,
everybody. I'm Adam curry.
And from Northern Silicon Valley where Google has turned into a
wine store. I'm John C. Dvorak Hill.
Oh, do explain. Oh, great one in the sky.
Google has turned into a wine store. I got today's New York
Times, which is about a 50 pound paper today. And in the New York
Times Magazine, there's a it's kind of like a blow in card
sorts. I'm
looking@google.com. And doesn't look like a wine store to me.
Well, here it is. The Zagat wine club. Oh, they bought Zagat,
didn't they? Yes. Now they're selling wine. Yeah. So well,
that's Google. Yeah. Well, that's Google's wine store.
And they're also going to make cars that drive themselves and
all kinds of stuff. We don't need all kinds of groovy things
that no one cares about. Just you know, what's unfortunate,
though, is their search blows. That would be kind of fun. If
they famous
spend more time working on that. Yeah.
Did you see? Beings latest challenge? Bing, bing, bing it
Bing. Yeah, they did. I think they did something. They're
running commercials. And it's, it's a working script. We know
this. The curry Devorah DeVore Consulting Group has used this
many, many times. It's the the old Pepsi Challenge. So they
went to San Francisco, they're on the street. And they
literally say, Hey, I'm here on the street in Google's backyard.
And we're gonna do the search challenge. And then they have
people use blind taste test using Google and Bing. And of
course, the majority of the people say, Wow, this search is
so good. What is it? Oh, it's being? Yeah, I think I think
it's pretty smart. You know, someone is gonna come in you.
They don't think it's possible when someone's going to come in
is going to eat Google's lunch. It can happen. It
knows it can happen. But I haven't seen anyone come close.
And I don't think this being challenge being being challenged
is going to do the trick. I use Bing every once in a while. But
when it comes down to it, and they'll go over the big picture,
that Google still beats it. They should be sponsoring
us. Yeah, somebody should every single time we hit that and it's
like, it's basically it's a Pavlovian call to us being
that's a ding
Hey, there's, maybe we should make our search engine Ding,
ding, ding dong, for dung. Dung. Wow, that'd be a great domain
name to have, wouldn't it?
Dung dung.com? Yes, well, in the morning to you John C. Dvorak.
In the morning, do you Adam curry in the morning the all
ships at sea boots on the ground subs in the water and to all the
Knights out there and feet in the air I might add
and to all of our human resources in the chat room all
charged up ready to go with no agenda? stream.com no agenda
chat.net. And, of course, to all of our artists out there and
everybody who's listening. Not a lot of donors today. I always
get a little demoted, demotivated when when we start
to show you send the
spreadsheet, we won't have to go three hours.
And that's true. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, we can make it a
much shorter show.
You get what you pay for.
This is true. This is true and little little disheartening.
Well,
yeah, well, again, it's the end of the holiday week. I mean it
we'll see what happens next week. But we get people still
listen to trade shows ago. It's
weird. I always find it strange that people say I'm catching up
or I'm behind. Like, if you miss something, to skip it. Why would
you? I mean, what I don't understand we're kind of a
topical show. To skip it. Who cares? Just dropped the show. I
mean, people don't want to do that. It's like this is this is
not a like a serious, like Breaking Bad. You know,
like if you miss one is the part where the where the tea with a
principal is shot.
Yeah. Like, like you don't understand what's going on.
I find try to re explain most of the memes if they're fairly new.
Yeah. I always
find that rather interesting that that that people do that
they really they really, really stick to it.
So maybe we should at least think our thing to producers
right at the top.
Yeah, because we do have oh, we have an exec. That's nice. All
right.
You have an executive Well, we always have an executive. If
anybody contributes over $200 They would get the executive
automatically. But when somebody contributes over $330, we they
automatically get access Even everybody else gets it's the
highest. Okay? It's the highest. It's written very carefully in
the dvorak.org/in. A page. Yeah. So there's no one so no one can
be confused by this. Okay. Got it. So Barry Hannah, do we have
no note from Barry? We send us an E. Email. I
don't. I don't think so. That that's weird. There's no note at
all.
Well, and I'm going to have to look, H A N N A is
the kind of stuff typically you'd expect to be part of your
regular show prep, John.
Yeah, normally it is. But I was caught off guard here because I
never expected a big blank at the beginning.
Like you didn't see that. Come on, man. What's wrong with you?
I had other things I was doing clips. All right. without
comment. Okay, Harry Han at from aka tox. Alberta. They just
placed by the way that Alberta is the province that pays for
all of Canada. Which is why the Quebec qua will never leave the
place because they leave you know, they get all this
framework.
And why is it that Alberta pays for all of Canada? What did they
what
were all the energy is is we're all the oil, the oil shale,
although everything they've got is in Alberta, and most most of
our oil comes from there.
So what all the other people do out there?
They scrape Dave essentially. leeches off of Alberta.
Everybody knows this.
About the Paris of Canada. That's what Saskatoon, Saskatoon
so do they also leech off of Alberta?
Yeah. Yeah, of course.
Well, that's that sucks. That doesn't sound right.
All the Canadians put up with it, they enjoy it. They don't
care that good. They get enough. You know, they get to paint the
they get the scraps up in Alberta. And Toronto gets the
buildings, wraps the scraps in Canada, or Canadians would
contribute we'd have a better analysis so they won't disagree
with this by the way.
They were like Yes. Hey, that's right. We just mooching off of
Alberta. Mm hmm.
just for show,
apparently, everyone's mooching off of Alberta and Anne Marie
according to the chat room. And a very old fashioned joke.
Producer sold executive producer for a show for four two.
associates Jesse crews in Highland Park, Illinois for
doing $25 Sorry, I haven't been donating lately. I was stocking
up on ammo.

boggling.
Yeah. Okay to 207 Thank you. You want to really thank you. So one

appreciation, I'll donate a triple swas enough 207 which

911 birthday. Please allow me to carry the name night. I wrote
the mus which is my name in Greek

I don't know. I have to run into my Greek pronunciation machine.
Hieronymus Ionis does that help me make sure that's in the in
the notes for the knighthood I don't want to make that don't do
that wrong. Let me see. No, so it's night. Of course we'll do
that. I arrow knee. I think it's ironic Amos. I are not
Hieronymous okay.
And I'll see you're doing it. Keep up the good work on your
show. So he's I erroneous Adega hurting ca Reese. Okay, anyway,
from Vaswani confuse a very long segment for the three producers.
I want to remind people Hopefully you've caught up by
the on the show by now or at least sometime this week. To
help us out here that divorce.org/and A.
It's your only mess is what it is. I'm getting prompting here
you're rolling him is of course it's his name in Greek which is
Giroud or your room. So your erroneous I got it. I'm set.
Don't worry. I'm doing that part of the show. I'm all I'm square.
I'm cool. No worries about it. Okay.
Okay. Yeah, yeah.
All right. Just making sure you understand. We have a little PR
thing here. One of our producers finally finally put something
out there. Right. You know what? KQED?
Yeah. KQED it serves are a national treasure here in San
Francisco
at national treasure. Exactly. So one of our producers called
in at an opportune moment. Because, you know, if you're our
national treasure, which is NPR, then of course, you know, you,
you have great guests on. And you know, these are very
important guests. And sometimes a guest is delayed or doesn't
show up. And then, you know, they'll make the obvious mistake
of opening up phone lines, which is one one of our producers bad
days. I think he does open carry radio, from California. He's in
in Northern California. And so he took advantage of it.
Although the guests who didn't show up was kind of funny for
our national treasure. Who
has Willa Pascaline with us by phone from New York television
critic with salon.com Molly Ringwald, who was supposed to be
with us had her flight delayed, unfortunately, let me go to your
cup. Molly
Ringwald, a very important guest
for you gotta get Molly Ringwald. Somebody ring water in
there. So let's go to the phone calls here. And we begin with
Julian. Good morning. Michael.
Okay. Did you hear the morning, he got a little late in the
morning. And then fast forward here a little bit entire
documentary about plants. Talking about how he watches the
BBC and doesn't watch American media anymore.
But David Attenborough, I think nice old gentleman, son of
Richard Attenborough, who many of us old timers remember, I
love his voice and just hit stuff. It's great. So I learned
about the mechanism to get into the UK from a no agenda podcast.
I've been using it for for years now. Well, we thank you for
that. And we'll pass it and I take it you like Downton Abbey?
We thank you for that, too. It was a nice little mention, I
thought he did pretty good. Got it in are pretty well, what is
it pretty good or pretty? Well, pretty well, pretty. Well, I
think he did pretty well. And you know what it's in, we'll
take it. But there's so much opportunity to to promote our
show. And, you know, I just don't see a lot of people taking
advantage of that. Which is a saddening because it seems like
you guys would be really really good at so we thank bad.
Howard Stern managed to do over the years when he had his
minions go out and just yell Obama bully or whatever they
did. And now but these days is you know, well, maybe the
problem is that because, of course, you know, Howard Stern
is he's no longer kind of main sees show he is but his show is
because it's on satellite isn't it's not what it used to be. So
when someone calls up and says baba booey people like what? Now
we'd know people don't get it. I wonder, I wonder if it would
work if people do it for no agenda?
I don't know. But I want to say Baba Booey.
No, that would that would be wrong. That's that's not what we
not want. You know? Did you realize that? Well, first of
all, let me let me thank you. Let me just thank everyone is,
of course our Associate Executive Producer. I too, I
mean, our executive producer, or to Associate Executive
producers, thank you so much. And of course, our PR associate
for today's episode, we really can use a bit more help second
show in a row that we're a bit down, go to vorak.org/n A and of
course, you can always do something really important when
it comes to PR and our formula. Our formula is this. We go out
we hit people in the mouth
was watching some more? C span I was we tend to watch a lot of
and I get very, very confused. And not only are they using that
Bogut of social network. What's the name of that social network
again? Tout. Tao taint. Yeah, the taint network. Not only are
they using that, but they have political as shows on C span
sponsored by like America's natural gas I don't understand
what's happening. Isn't C span supposed to be a complete? non
commercial just like
turned on by the cable companies? Comcast Time Warner,
right. But why is the Dish Network?
Why all of a sudden are they letting politico which is
anything
somebody's cutting back their funding and they need the money?
are great. I know that guy that got runs it Brian, whatever his
name is left the President left the guy he left. Yes, he was he
may have been the guy holding it together because healing
the whole thing together. Right. Right. The guy right together?
Well,
it's like it's lame. Now. I mean, political is anything but
a they're not. It's not like they're complete. Publication
without an agenda. Right.
Yeah, no, I agree. I think it's dreadful that they would be
given a show.
I wouldn't, but not just giving a show. They've got advertisers.
And there shouldn't
be advertising on the thing. I just haven't seen this, by the
way. Oh, all
the election coverage. It's all political. They got whole shows.
They got discussion shows they got panels and what? What is
going on here? Oh, that was? Yeah, this was Thursday night
after the President did his. Did his speech his acceptance speech
at the at the Democratic National Convention. Right.
Finish. Be out? Not a real happy ending there. Boy, that was a
mess speech. If I ever saw one. Would you think
it was pretty? Pretty mediocre? Yeah. Then of course, the job
numbers come out which, again, show we're losing jobs get
remind
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, you are completely wrong. I have the
statement here from the White House. Hold on. You are so
wrong. White House on job numbers. Hold on a second.
Here's the statement from the White House. Today's Employment
Report provides further evidence that the US economy is
continuing to recover from the worst downturn since the Great
Depression. And that is because I know it's funny, right? That
is I
would like to know why the media is not calling him out on this.
This is book Bogota live.
So well. The reason why they're saying that is because the real
Bogota Vnus is in the unemployment numbers ticking
down from 8.3%. People giving up to 8.1%. Well, yeah, this is
what most people want. Maybe you should just explain it again,
John, because most people don't seem to understand or care that
these are just lies, lies, lies, lies.
Well, let's start with with the basics. The first thing is to
maintain a zero sum game. In other words, to go nowhere to go
absolutely nowhere, up or down. You have to have 150,000 new
jobs. Why is month why is this? Why do you because the
population is growing at to the point of about a million people
entering a little over a million people entering the workforce
every year, does it become a certain age? And actually, it's
a bigger number than that because there's a bunch people
dying too, and leaving the job this
horse but this is what I this is what I need to understand just I
just want to because I'm just the dumb disc jockey here. So
every single year, there's people being born people getting
older entering the workforce, there's also people dying and
leaving and leaving the workforce. And who maintains
these numbers? How do you know that it's a million people a
year and that
it's 150,000 a month is what it amounts? How do you know that
the late Bureau of Labor they've done our government? That's
their that's what they've told us? Okay,
well, you don't have to get angry me. I'm just asking. I'm
mad at you now. No, it's not fair. I didn't do anything I'm
just asking. So you
have to have that's the base that so that is essentially zero
line. Right? So anything below 150,000 is means we're losing.
We're losing the workforce. Anything above 150,000. We were
actually adding people to the workforce, which is what you
want, or you want even at least if it's even, it's okay. This is
not even. And then the worst part about this, which is was
kind of left out of this discussion is that last month,
which came in at 160,000 was just inched over a little bit,
which we actually brag about that. Right? Right. It's been
readjusted,
yeah, it was adjusted down wasn't it to like 100,000 or
140. So so the last numbers last month, downturn, wait a minute
women's, so I don't even understand how that works. So
they come up with numbers, which by the way, the entire stock
market, everything, you know, the whole financial system is
based upon these numbers. And then, you know, three weeks
later they say, oh, yeah, we have to adjust those down. How
does that even work? How can those numbers are both active?
You know, actually
Horowitz has discussed this on the DHA unplugged show,
especially a couple of years ago, or a year or so ago, when
it was rampant. They were Pulling this stuff off every
single month they would readjusted last month's numbers.
Well, first, they give you these glowing numbers. Oh, it's
fantastic. Things have improved. And then the next month comes
out and they say, Oh, by the way, last month's numbers. Not
so good. We made a mistake. We we didn't carry the one. So who
knows? I don't know how they do this. Even though they can make
such a big mistake.
Yeah, that mean that's not a small mistake percentage wise
the difference between 165 and 140? Is 20 is what does that 5%
Oh, I don't know it. I can't do that my head
said didn't ask. I didn't ask you to do in your head. I asked
you to use the abacus like you always use the abacus
is downstairs. So anyway, whatever the case is, this is
not these are not good numbers. You can't do adding 90,000 is a
bad number. So anyway, so So the baseline has to be 150. So but
the media does, they've talked about it, but they don't talk
about it enough. So they don't they don't come out and say
well, they've now it's 90,000 which is not good.
Now why do people leave the workforce? What does that mean
when you just already retire? There's none of this.
People know that data refers to the unemployment number. Yes,
the participate act is called actively looking for one Oh, no,
it's called active participation. Okay, yes.
Active. Okay. Same thing. Be actively looking for work to be
included in the unemployed number. If you say I'm not I
don't care I'm not even though I can't done through I'm just
taking I'm on vacation. And when you do that, then the
unemployment actually goes down. But just because you quit you
quit you quit quit trying
Yeah. So when you quit try and what happens you just fall off
the edge of the earth and you just live on the street? What
happens when someone quits trying where do they go?
They live off their savings or move home with mom. I mean,
there's really things you can do you can be homeless if you want.
I mean, so you have a lot of opportunities in this country.
Yeah, unemployed have opportunities in countries in
this country like no others. We can push shopping carts around
and bag on the corners. Yeah, we can hold up cardboard signs that
say God bless. Yeah.
Brain injury, that's my favorite brain injury.
That one Yeah. And it could Yeah, veteran brain injury. God
bless. We can move in with mom, we can find a shelter, which is
usually crowded with a bunch of Psycho is nobody really wants to
do those. What else can we do?
Useful we can entry. That's a good idea.
So let me ask you another question. Why do they why is
this always they're always talking about? It's Non Farm
Payroll? I don't understand is that because the farms payroll
is manufacturing? Yeah. But why is what's Why is it split off
because the Farm Payroll is all
calculated different and worked on farms, you know, that could
be the family kids is a complete different calculation. And it's
never been this far as I know, they've never been combined.
I just tried to understand why. So that but it seems like
they're excluded.
No, it's just different that that number comes out to
so that so the weight and I we talked about this on the last
show, I think so the Bureau of Labor Statistics BLS. They say
so they show these 103 jobs last month overall nonfarm payroll
employment rose by 96,000, which is supposed to be some big deal.
The economy had and this is how the White House spins at the
economy has now added private sector jobs for 30 straight
months for a total of 4.6 million jobs during that period.
Yeah, that's essentially a missed, you know, they always
moan and groan about the misleading stuff that the
Republicans do. This is borderline lying borderline or
it is lying. Also, by the way Farm Payroll is very seasonal. I
forgot to mention that that
you didn't forget buzzkill Jr just came in and told you that I
heard him in the background. Yeah, but I forgot to mention
your stunt brain came in
brain here he comes you wake up
in the morning and then you're looking at my brain is in the
jar and then buzzkill Jr comes in no worry pops I got you
covered.
So the one thing that bothers me about all this besides the you
know the bolt crap you know the public if they're going to be
that stupid about this let them but here's the thing that's
interesting. There's a people look this up go to shadow
stats.com Okay. And then they have a the unemployment rate
Official U three u six vs. S Gs, which is the calculation that
the shadow guy does. He's a beast, statistician. He's in
Cali he's I think he's in San Francisco. John Williams very
famous, very famous guy who does this click on the chart and he's
done the
homepage there then you do the score for Star Wars.
Different isn't brought brother. Click on the Word says down here
which is what you see the SGS alternative employer right and
click on that
chart. Yes, I'm clicking on the chart now. Oh, blow it up. Oh,
it's shows we have 23% unemployment.
Yes, but here's what's wrong. Here's what's bothers me
and it's going up.
Going up. This is what bothers me. The official government
numbers, which on this chart are in red and gray, which and
nobody was talking about you six anymore, which is more of a real
realistic?
No, no, hold on the official is the EU three, which is the red.
And then the gray is something called broadest EU six, what is
broadest?
That is the old calculation we used to use before break Flint,
I think Clinton is the one who may be introduced to try to get
rid of, you got to get rid of that
thing. Where's the YouTube number because I liked them much
better as a band.
Anyway, so they got, here's what bothers me that I'm gonna
eventually for people listening out there, I will eventually get
to this point after Adam stops with the one liners. If you look
at u, u three and u six, notice that they're trending down. If
you look at the SGS alternative, notice that it's trending up.
Now, if you look back in history on these on these three little
lines, they're not disparaging. They're all pretty much on the
same
page, right? Am I allowed to say anything? Because I'm afraid now
to say something
that because it's not about you to the band. So yes,
they are completely in Gemini, there's a little there's a
little convergence here around 2009. There is something
something different happened there. I can't quite tell that
was that. And then then right after that around looking at
around 2000.
This is when the government started lying, I guess. Yeah.
And it's like it starts going.
2010 is when it really starts to spread. The government is lying.
And now these charts don't now this chart is really weird
looking. Because it's never I've never seen it. I've always
followed this, by the way, I love this guy. And the USGS
unemployment rate, which is more realistic to me. 23% looks like
what it is for us. But it's what it feels like for sure. For
sure. Hitting a 25. Yeah. And now we see the lies. And you can
see it. It's so obvious at this point. And every month it's
getting worse.
I'm going to put this into the put this into the show notes
because that's really good. And hold on a second. That's a great
site. That's a very good resource, although it's a
frightening resource because it essentially means good night,
who's turning off the lights?
go out the door hit you in the ass literally. Actually, it
looks more like Yeah. 20 Yeah, I know. It is about 23% and, and
rising. Yeah. Wow. So it
is rising. If you this if you knew what you were listening to
when they tell you 90,000 new jobs. That means 40,000 jobs
short, short. Short, fat means it's rising.
Is a six feet, Toad and resin or we can make it out in the hole.
This ladies and gentlemen is what will continue to happen
until our donations get back to normal I will continue
to sing. Well, so Okay, so about these. So this is very
interesting. So I was watching the there was one speaker who I
saw at the the Democratic National Convention. And and I
have to stop and help people understand the mind control and
the programming that is going on in the the people at this
convention, obviously, you know, they are all They're zombies.
They're already on board with the program. There's this think
well in this for any of these. Any of these? Yeah, they're
all the same. Yeah. Hey, well,
there are some dissenters. You know, of course, we know that
the RNC there were a lot of Ron Paul people and then people
really was just told to shut up and leave or actually won't
won't even let in. But there's the former governor of Michigan.
Jennifer Granholm. Now, have you ever heard of this woman before?
Yeah, I
think a couple years ago, I may have even talked about her.
So Jennifer Granholm, I'd looked her up on the Wikipedias. And
she, she is she she actually is from California. Well, she was
born in Canadia. But she grew up in California. Uh, she is so
obvious. You know, when I say politics is show business for
Ugly people. And she's not even ugly. She's too short. And her
head's not big enough. But she, she tried to become an actress,
and failed at that. And then, you know, then, of course, went
the easy route and got into politics because that's kind of
what you do. And for all the, you know, this whole you didn't
build that thing, which this is this is a big argument right now
amongst American people. It's like if you if you build a
business did you or did you not build that by yourself? Do you
have to thank everybody else for walking on the road because You
know, that road was not paid for just by you was paid for by
everybody else.
Right? Well, we're all one big happy family. And it sounds like
Soviet Russia
Wishing Well, it's a fundamental viewpoint. And again, I there's
I know a lot of people who have bought into this and say, yeah,
and by the way, people who will have been very successful who
have money, and then whether they are, they may be lying to
me, but I know some very, very well, I think
most of the ultra rich are Democrats. Yes, absolutely.
There
is, in particular here in Austin, of course, you know,
Austin is not exactly the red, Texas, you'd think of in fact,
quite the opposite. There are some very wealthy people,
venture capital even. And there and who literally will say, I
cannot sit next to a Republican, Republican is not allowed in my
house. I will never have dinner with them. And I didn't
know and they're always blaming the Republicans for being, you
know, exclusive, but it's used, it's usually these Democrats.
You take a look at the big venture capital company that
most famous Kleiner Perkins, they have Al Gore with them.
Everyone, everyone's again, they're all Democrats. I know
these guy know, all these guys, except for exceptions. They're
all Democrats, right?
Lane is the only one who's not except for one. Okay. So, um,
but I'm getting beyond the point. So and they will all say,
Oh, I'm happy to pay more taxes. You know, they'll say this. And
they either mean it. I don't know if they're lying or
whatever. But they also wish money. They don't care. Yeah,
that's true. And they also, without, without exception, say,
you know, we didn't we really have society to thank for that.
And everybody chipping in and paying their fair share. And,
you know, yes, you know, okay, so it's important. This is the
Elizabeth Warren thing. She really started this you. If
you're successful, John, you and I, we if we said, hey, we built
this show together? They would say to us, No, you did not.
Because without the government building the internet, you never
would have a show would not have a show. So that's the
fundamental Oh,
we could have a show on Radio, which is actually possible. No,
no,
sorry. No, because the government allowed you to have
the frequency. However, when it comes to the jobs that were
created, this was not and this is I'm going to play this clip
for you. This is not according to the general consensus among
Democrats, not something that was a collective. No, no, it was
one man who did that. Can you guess who that man was?
I would say it wasn't Joe Biden. No.
And this is what I find so interesting. And I don't
understand why the Republicans don't jump on this. And say,
Hold on a second. You can't on the one hand, say what you
didn't build it. And then on the other hand, say Barack Obama
waved his magic wand and saved or created all these jobs,
because if I'm not mistaken, John, the bailout was also our
money, wasn't it?
Yeah, no, I don't understand. I can't understand any of the
Republican messaging I don't understand that even though
they've hinted about it the the the American Dream concept that
we harp on we're just getting by now is defined as the American
Dream by Obama himself. Why they don't jump on any of this is
beyond me.
It's not beyond me. It's because they're already adjusted. Okay?
That's all the same people and they don't give a crap that just
fooling you into thinking there's Yeah, no, I agree with
that. slur number one, wrestler number two, but I want you to
listen to this, Jennifer Granholm who she went into an
orgasmic ecstasy of shouting and yelling about one man, and it
was just like, my mouth was open. Please watch the video.
The whole video is six or seven minutes, she is actually pumping
her fist and jumping up and down. And people are crying.
It's just
Whoa, the entire auto industry and the lives of over 1 million
hardworking Americans teetered on the edge of collapse, and
with it the entire manufacturing sector of this country, and we
looked everywhere for help. Almost nobody had the guts to
help us. Not the banks, not the private investors and not Bain
Capital.
In 2009, the cavalry arrived, and our new President Barack
Obama.
I mean, wow, really? rearise you want to hear more? Don't you
tell me you want to hear more of this?
Well, you might as well I'm not gonna say no to that.
Organize a rescue. He made the tough call. He did it. And he
saved the American auto industry. is your money?
This is this is the wow. You know, Mitt Romney, he saw the
same crisis. No. So then she she actually she has a pretty funny
line here. I have to say, great writing. You want to hear a
great line?
Yeah. Okay. You're pretty sure you just let it play because I
think it's you know, I'm sure the line Oh, sure.
You know what he said? let Detroit go bankrupt. Now, sure,
sure. Mitt Romney loves our lakes and our trees. He loves
our cars so much. They even have their own elevator.
That's the setup. That's just the setup line.
But the people who design and build and sell those cars, well,
in Romney's world, the cars get the elevator and the workers get
the shaft. Come on, man. That's a good line. It's
an old joke.
I'd never heard that one. I liked it.
I thought it was good. You in the turnip truck.
No, me and all the idiots they're clearly here. But this,
he
makes something least slightly clearer, which seems to be
overlooked. And all this and Republicans again, with their
crappy message and can't seem to get this across is that if if
General Motors went bankrupt, it wasn't going out of business.
Bankruptcy is a process. No, it was not a process to stay in
business legitimately. They would stay in business. And but
they would be going through a process and the process that
would apparently involve, which is what nobody really was
talking about probably being a little more competitive on the
union side of things. So you can compete with those car
manufacturing facilities in South Carolina put up by Honda
and BMW and places like, you know, in that area where they
have different labor laws. In the industry, when they would
not have gone out of business, it was just reorganized. Like I
mean, United Airlines were, let's say Continental, they went
bankrupt. No, I'm just gonna take a continental flight
American Airlines is in bankruptcy, bankruptcy. Now I
can go take a flight. You can even though
this was misleading, of course. Now, Romney and Romney, you
know, I believe is, I don't know, maybe he's retarded. I
can't really put my finger on what's wrong with the guy but he
can't explain any of this. And so they're just blasting him
from every angle. And when you're done with your little
exhibition, I want to play the woman who's the head of Planned
Parenthood, and how she I think they have a kind of a nice
leverage to angle on the whole scene that I honestly cannot
believe in outputting, the bread book, I don't see how it's
possible unless the economy collapses in October, which is
which can happen. How it's even remotely possible for Romney to
beat this guy.
Can I miss Can I just play it? I'm ready. Can we play her now?
Planned Parenthood leave? I
got three of her. You have no this is.
This is the woman who you actually I think you called me
in the middle of the night and said, Adam, you've got a Googler
she's so smokin hot. You did you did you? Oh, ah. You lie.
So the middle of the night. What's the lesson ever called
you period? So starts off. She starts off though she's on the
prompter. She's obviously nervous. Because
we need to. We need to set it again. You gotta set it up. Who
is she? What's her name?
What is her name? She it's she's the daughter of the of the
governor of
enrichers. She's the daughter of an otter. Cecily Cecily
Richardson.
She's a cute blonde who likes she looks a lot like the singer
from What does not look like Annie Lennox of the US. Looks
like she looks just like any leg. She looks over here. No,
she looks. Always when she speaks. She's got She's winking
and she's smiling at the camera. She's really good at working the
camera look like Annie Lennox. She looks like when you're on
the TV. If you saw these clips instead of whatever you were
doing with your time. If you've seen these, you would have said
that and Linux is up there talking and you go oh, no, it's
not as what her name? What's your name? Whitman.
She looks like Annie Lennox. 20 years ago, maybe?
Yeah. Okay. Um, so anyway, so she goes up there and this is
what now she did. This shows me that this is so scripted. She
had a couple of one liners but this script, here she is now you
listen to this clip. It's called this the planned parent what
clip? She is. She is going to say the name of her organization
twice and blow it twice. And she
is the president of this organization. The President.
Good evening.
Good evening. On behalf of them millions of mothers daughters,
wives, sisters and friends. Republicans and Democrats who've
counted on Planned Parenthood for health care and honor of the
1000s of doctors and staff at Planned Parenthood health
centers all across America.
She's saying Planned Parenthood. Hey, why don't you
think somebody shortened it on the prompter? Oh, yeah, that's
vegan. She's not gonna make that mistake. We'll just put plan P.
I don't know what it was. It was it was like what? Because later
in your innerspace she actually said Planned Parenthood they
probably
it was p o n D, P, ar e and TD.
It's possible parented. Yeah, yeah. I mean, it's possible that
somebody was running it. I've seen it done with somebody write
shorthand on
the patterns all the time. I guarantee you. This is
absolutely what happened. It said plan parent parented with
pa ra n te d. And this woman has probably not even ever been in
the office of Planned Parenthood. She is as she is a
Borg. I don't even think she's real, as in she's a CEO. I'm
sorry. Yeah. No,
she looks like a Borg. Yeah. But anyway, so she blows these
lines. I mean, as reminds me, the time I saw somebody reading
from a prompter, and they have the pronunciation. And they
pronounced
brackets. Oh, yeah. Sure, sure. Yeah. Or they'll actually say, I
pronounced this way. Oh, actually, I've seen that happen.
So you know, who used to be like Kennedy? Or Kennedy on MTV?
Oh, Kennedy, that woman? Yeah.
The other woman? Kennedy. Yes. On TV, she would. I did not get
along with her. I'll be upfront. She was such a bonehead, that
you read those comments, you'd be like, Oh, I'm sorry. I just
read the instruction on the prompter instead of okay. She
will read the actual, the actual pronunciation instructions and
teleprompter?
Well, yeah, you got to be careful when you're reading from
a prompter. Because if you get into a zone where you're just
robotically reading and not really thinking about it, you
will do that. And I think that's what happened to me and
I and just as a side note, before we get back to her, that
I have an article in the show notes about Bill Clinton speech.
And Bill Clinton is one of those people. And I can do it, I can
do quite a bit of it. But he is really the master, where he will
take a 20 minute speech that is scripted in the teleprompter,
and he will weave in and out of the teleprompter, embellishing
and adding entire words. And this only works by the way, if
you have a teleprompter operator who you've worked with, and who
knows what you're doing, right, and the number one guy on set in
television, the guy who I would always take to lunch. Two guys
that always take the audio guy, but always would take the
teleprompter guy or gal to lunch because they are the ones that
will save your ass in this type of situation. And if you really
know how to work with them, you can be a genius Bill Clinton. He
went he doubled his time.
Yeah, I know he always go over because he does shaggy dog style
talks. He he's got the prompter up there. And he uses it both as
a writer and his note, right? Right. So he'll go off script
and go wandering around and you better be a good note. You have
to know the script in order to be able to get the prompt.
Roll up, roll back. And if you if, if the if the Republicans
want to win, all they have to do is take out Obama's prompter
guy. They take that they take him out, like disappear him. I
think the President's lost.
It's probably true. As
serious as I can be. I
remember one time I was doing tech TV and I was I've written
off the prompter and then the thing stops dead. Right. So I'm
yakking away and I'm looking at the prompter guys. You could
probably I can just barely see him in the back. Fell asleep. I
haven't had that happen. I fell asleep.
He really he was he was he was dead out. So you know, but our
president when when the teleprompter fails, he actually
will he'll be like hey, can you roll it back up? Can you do
this? Can you do that I charged
tasked with advising me about national strategies to nurture
and sustain a culture of scientific innovation in
addition to John the I just noticed that I jumped the gun
here go ahead move it up. Oh that's the worst when you have
already introduced all you guys in biomedicine
that's when you're I mean at least just go to your notes man
you amateur yeah amateur. That's it amateur
amateur. Yeah, actually what happened one time I learned the
lesson the hard way when the prompter just died. Because real
smart newsreaders they always usually have the entire script
in front of them on blue paper. And they are if you notice them,
they'll be talking to you on the on the camera and then there'll
be flipping the sheets, but they're never looking at the
sheet. Some of them try to make it look like they're read that
they look at the sheet and then memorized it and then read off
the prompter I've seen generally speaking, they're just flip and
sheets. Yeah, because there's nothing on the right and they
flip them. They know when to flip they flip them. And if the
prompter drops, did they go right to the sheets are right on
the cue, right. Perfect. And, you know, that's what, that's
what Obama should learn to do
now move on with your, with your KBP woman
slamming around that she starts to do some material now. But but
her messaging, which is that, you know, the government should
be sponsoring Planned Parenthood, and it's, and it's
that everything's an attack against women. She does this so
well, that I think is extremely effective. So let's play the
part where she's slamming Romney, Paul Ryan
and John Boehner and Todd Akin at a Tea Party took over the
House of Representatives. They promised promises, they were
going to create jobs and jumpstart the economy. But
instead, on day one, they came after women's health, and they
haven't let up since. Right? So first, they voted to end cancer
screenings, and well, woman visits for 5 million women. They
voted to end funding for birth control at Planned Parenthood.
And for good measure, they even tried to redefine rape. And now,
Mitt Romney is campaigning to get rid of Planned Parenthood
and overturn Roe vs. Wade. And we won't let him all right.
So this is like bull crap to I mean, it's not like he's trying
to get rid of Planned Parenthood. He's trying to get
government funding reduced. And because we know that's true.
That's true. But you know, but that's okay. It's twisted
beautifully. And I think it really works. And I think when
she finishes here, which is the next clip, which is a big SS fig
finish, which means big finish. So I was I think, I think she
just really drives the point home. I think it's a very
sympathetic argument, even though it's skewed, obviously.
But I think it works. And I think that the Republicans are
just being portrayed as heartless bastards who hate
women, and I think is being done very well as being very well
done.
We've come so far. So why are we having to fight in 2012 against
politicians who want to end access to birth control? It's
likely woke up on a bad episode of Mad Men. Because when Mitt
Romney says he'll get rid of Planned Parenthood, and turn the
clock back on A Century of Progress, it has real
consequences for the 3 million patients who depend on Planned
Parenthood each year. Women like Libby Bruce, who you just heard
from, are women like brandy Mackay, a 27 year old woman
whose stage two breast cancer was caught in a Planned
Parenthood health center. And thank god, she's now cancer
free.
Or the woman who went on Facebook after Paul Ryan voted
to defund Planned Parenthood and posted? Well, I guess they don't
understand that US military wives go to Planned Parenthood
when the doctor on base can't see us.
So Mr. Romney and Mr. Ryan are campaigning for women's votes by
saying that women need their help. Okay. This is coming from
two men who are committed to ending insurance coverage for
birth control. Who would turn women's health care decisions
over to our bosses and who won't even stand up for equal pay for
women? Okay, was my grandmother back in Texas would have said
any more help from Mitt Romney and I'm gonna have to take in
ironing.
As a Texan, I kind of resent that
that's so she I think really pounds these points home I think
it works and to take an ironing gag, I thought was great. It
just there, they got no counter to this sort of thing. And on
the other side, they haven't got a prayer.
And the whole thing is, though, it's all the same, gives a
credit. Well, it
is all the same, but it's still Well, I mean, we can just stop
talking about politics altogether. We have to talk
about No, no, no,
we just talk just to stop talking about American politics.
It doesn't matter. Fact, I can't stop because I have to set
something straight. I played the votes from the Democratic
convention where clearly, if not equal, the nays probably had it
over the yeas and they ramrodded that thing through. So this the
same thing happened at the Republican Convention. I wanted
to Play this but I need to caveat it because a lot of
people and this comes back to our prompter discussion a lot of
people saw this clip and they said it was already scripted on
the prompter for him to say the yeas have it and I'm going to
just disagree because that is not the way the prompter read
because I saw the prompter video you know what I'm talking about
here John about
yeah and I saw the prompter video and that's what it did say
no,
if you saw the whole prompter video not just whatever you saw
it if you see the whole video as it was put up on YouTube it says
we're going to take the vote and then it says if if yay go to
scenario one in the prompter like in
Scenario two.
So the way this works is they had like two parameters to what
he would scroll up or scroll scroll past scenario one to
scenario two if it was a nasally so it's not true that it was
already pre scripted. I'm just debunking that now.
Okay, I can accept the possibility Yeah, now there was
if they scroll further would have said the same thing on the
day Exactly. However, it is not obvious that the yeas had it and
that's just the 20 seconds I wanted to play on the adoption
of the resolution. All those in favor signify by saying Aye All
those opposed no.
The chair the eyes have it without objection the motion to
reconsider is laid on the table that I
think is funny about this. How about this for a third theory?
Yeah. It did have the two did had this fork on the prompter
Yeah, yeah. The guide never the guy reading was so immature said
he didn't give the guy the chance to move it forward. So he
just read right just read the first report and said yea A No,
no. I
think that whatever this motion was, but these people you have
to get rid of Ron Paul. Yeah.
And then yeah, that was exactly what it was for. And the what
needs to happen? What should happen?
Wait, I got wait. I got a fourth theory. God, please. Yes. Yeah,
it said that little thing about the fork on there just to fool
people like you are as a counter argument. I'm
so silly. They've got a fork. They they got me again, John is
exactly that's what it was. Yeah, no, the only thing I can
say is if you are awakened and listening to this podcast, and
if you are a member of either of these parties, you need to burn
down your party headquarters. Tell him I said so. Because you
are being tricked and fooled into believing that you that you
matter you stupid piece of cannon fodder. You mean nothing
to them that isn't that obvious from the clips we've played here
to there the revolt needs to take place just
love to lie inside these parties. That's the way that
people lap it up. Okay, don't have die wouldn't have had
Republican in my house. Oh
my god. And I've actually heard from really smart successful
people who say this. I will not have a Republican over for
dinner. And I'm like, oh, man, I better shut up. It's not that
can't say anything now
was like, you know the same thing with like, Canada. Why
would anybody listen to Rush Limbaugh? Possibly.
Why would anybody read Sarah Palin book we need to burn
books. This is a much better thing. You can't do any of
us do the same thing with the Republicans say Have you ever
read Karl Marx and Lenin have some great writings by the way?
They're no slouches. Is anybody ever read any of this stuff? Oh,
those damn commies. They've never even read the material.
Now, if you don't know if you don't know what the other side
saying specifically? Yeah. You can't just say I'm not gonna
read that. I'm not gonna listen to him. No,
that's wrong. But that's how you really
have to you have to check in somewhere. If you're if that is
your attitude. I'm not having a Republican over to the house.
Yeah. What do you think he's gonna do rape your wife? I mean,
why specifically?
Well, it's like my uncle Don, man. It's like, you know, it's
like, these idiots if they run into. It's mind controlled.
Here's so okay, it's all a part of the mind control. And this
actually brings me to this new study, which is now being
limited. It's being rolled out everywhere. In fact, we need to
play the sciences, science, because you're you're actually
involved with this. This is going to affect you as well,
because you will see this ad This is a professional study.
It's from Australia, but University of Western Australia.
It's heavily funded. It's being rolled out everywhere as fact.
and it is the motivated rejection of science study. Oh,
yeah. Oh, yeah, no, this is this is a big one. This is really a
big one. Now you were almost upon the anniversary of
September 11. You, I would have to say a question at least one
part of September 11.
Why did World Trade Center seven fall like a rock for no apparent
reason? Exactly the same way the other ones fell, by the way.
So I knew you would say that, however, because you now let me
ask you one more question. Do you believe in manmade global
warming?
I am a skeptic,
ooh, skeptic, even though, as the science
is in, and everybody believes, because they actually that's the
giveaway. Everybody doesn't believe but the one side is
saying everyone does believe and that's very suspicious.
So because of this, because of this, you might as well just
join my camp and say you believe that NASA faked the moon
landing. Because this this is what the study is saying. I'm
not kidding. This study is saying there is a direct
correlation. People who believe the moon landing was faked are
also climate science, climate change deniers and and oh, man,
HIV does not cause AIDS. The CIA killed Martin Luther King 911
was an inside job. All of this all so
what about the Stargate in the Gulf of Aden? Is that in there?
Got it. No, no, no, that's moved to Seattle, by the way, but
that's coming up later. So just from this study, and the you've
got to read the PDF in the in the show notes for for today at
any show notes.com. Just a couple of highlights and it's 33
pages.
Now. What's the title again,
the title is motivated rejection of science. As subtitle NASA
faked the moon landing, therefore climate science and
all science is a hoax. An anatomy of the motivated
rejection of science. Did you
remember what was the thing it was about a year ago on our
show? We were talking about the Kinect, they were trying to make
a connection between Oh, yeah, yeah. If you if you didn't
believe in global warming as a manmade phenomenon caused by
co2. You didn't believe in the Holocaust was that there was no
connection? Yes,
but the Holocaust is not in here. They've taken they've gone
all
Yeah, they finally did fine tuning this thing is what
they're doing. Yes, exactly. In
fact, I will check and I'm just going to do a quick search on
holocaust. Because I didn't see it. It's 33 pages. No, no, there
is no so that
they find a niche. Yes. They found they told the Holocaust
because people were really upset about that. Yeah.
And they don't I don't think they also Republican. I don't
think that is in we just check. Re pablor can No that's also not
in here. Okay. So let me just read from from, and it's 33
pages no coincidence, of course, abstract. Although nearly all
domain experts agree that human co2 emissions are altering the
world's climate. segments of the public remain unconvinced by the
scientific evidence. internet blogs have become a vocal
platform for climate denial. And bloggers have taken a prominent
and influential role in questioning climate science. And
then there's the go on a little bit about the survey. It gets
better endorsements of the free market, which is if you endorse
the free market, you are a climate denier. Now, also, Oh,
that's
interesting twist.
Oh yeah. predicted the rejection of other established scientific
findings such as the fact that HIV causes AIDS, and that
smoking causes lung cancer. We additionally show that
endorsement of a cluster of conspiracy theories, eg that the
CIA killed Martin Luther King, or that NASA faked the moon
landing, predicts rejection of climate science as well as the
rejection rejection of other scientific findings above and
beyond endorsements of laissez faire free markets. So what is
happening here? I mean, you might as well just go get me a
yellow star and put it on my jacket, because this is what is
happening. If you reject any type of science, if you question
it, which of course is what science is all about. Then you
are going to be lumped in with all of these theories and
labeled a complete lunatic and I predict in DSM six, we have DSM
five come Yep, I think in DSM six, you will be medicated
forcefully because of that. No, I'm not. You're laughing I'm
not. Yeah,
but my mice actually sick but possible. Yeah, likely there's
the debt to medicate too many people. Well,
this is why they just put it in the water. So this, this just
goes to. I'm not kidding. Another variable that has been
associated with rejection of science is conspiratorial
thinking or conspiracist ideation, defined here as the
attempt to explain a significant political or social event as a
secret plot by powerful individuals or organizations.
And they have sources for all of this. I mean, this is a very,
very well written report. And, and study is very well done. And
by the way, as George Carlin once said, It is of course crazy
to think that some of the richest people on the earth
would get together and have a meeting about how to screw
everybody else. I mean, that of course is completely out of the
realm of possibility that would never happen. Right.
John? Never sciences in
the prominence of conspiracist ideation in science denial now
it's science denial. And just you have to remember what
happened to me with my moon thing on twit it is a part of it
it is very important because this is something that is
changing in our society that people think you're a science
deniers denier. It is not entirely surprising.
You know what it is that the interrupt but you know, it was
interesting to me is that the same people who are subscribing
to this, whatever these notions are in hold in toto are are
practicing what they're always bitching about, which is
stereotyping. Yes. They constantly complain about it.
Oh, you're just stereotyping. You can't say that. But
meanwhile, that's all they do. To me. Why
did you have a gay accent spin on that that
is a Berkeley guy. Okay.
Stereotyping the prominence of conspiracist ideation. Now, this
is these terms by themselves are fantastic. In science denial, is
not entirely surprising. Because if an overwhelming scientific
consensus cannot be accepted as the result of researchers
independently converging on the same evidence based view, then
its very existence calls for an alternative explanation, a
function readily fulfilled by the ideation of a complex and
secretive conspiracy amongst researchers. So the way I read
that is, you mean
a conspiracy amongst researchers like those letters? Climate
gate? Yeah, exactly like that. Yeah.
That of course, is was Can anyone believe in such a thing?
No. But that has already been changed in the media and
debunked as the you know, as the lead was an accident. Oh, yeah.
No, no, there was hack and it wasn't true. And the letters
were changed. This report is it is the setup to putting people
like me and potentially like you, John, although, you know, I
think for some reason, you know, you'll you'll slip through the
cracks, you know.
You'll probably you're flipping you know, I thought about it. I
don't understand what's wrong with that. Adam,
you're gonna flip on me. You gave you a total Judas NSB.
Like, I don't know, I've tried, as you're
slipping on your armband, you'll be like, yeah, that curry guy,
you know, he's no good. But it is. This is this. Thank you for
pointing it out. This is stereotyping. And it is a part
of why people if I have an alternative view, and if I'm
running around, if I'm running like a nut ball, that's one
thing. But if I just say no, I have a different view on
something and people go crazy, as we have seen happen this, you
know, and you're you pegged it. This is what happens in a
totalitarian fascist state. And there's something else that's
happening. But this is a very disturbing trend. You and yet
when the kids were young John, did you fly with them? Yeah,
okay. And did people when they would sit down on the airplane,
and you had your kids and they weren't, you know, young and so
they might have some problems with the air pressure and they
might cry. But did people upon boarding the plane sit down and
go, Oh, kids, Oh, crap, this flight is gonna suck. Because
this is what's happening. Have you noticed this very disturbing
trend where you're on the plane, and people see other people with
children and they already make a comment and they've got a frowny
face and like a god is probably going to puke on me, kid. Have
you NOTICE This disturbing trend.
I actually have not noticed it to the apparently the extent
that you have I sent you once in a while you will see people who
are are adverse to being around children, usually old maids
types of people do use an old phrase, and
it's already outlawed in almost every single airline that I know
of children under I think the age of seven are not allowed in
first class. This was this. This didn't happen when my daughter
was tying that mean, we flew first class with her when she
was young. This is now it's
outlawed. I don't know this. Oh, yeah.
No kids in first class.
They paid for a first class ticket. You
cannot you cannot buy a first class ticket, as far as I know,
on any airline anymore. In America. If you're under I think
it's six or seven.
Well, I haven't heard this. Yeah, I have to look this up.
And I question this.
No. Well, I know a lot of people who have young kids. And this
conversation came up the other day, and I've been doing some
informal research, informal q&a. And this is a disturbing trend
where people feel for some reason that having kids on the
plane, it's like, oh, God, can't you take the bus, you need to
take the Great, take the train, whatever it is, and they are
upset by people having their children on the plane. Okay,
well, I'd love to hear from any of our producers. This is just
what I have found an informal survey. But I think it's
related. I think it it somehow there's something going on. And
it is absolutely related. And there's disturbing stuff
happening.
And by the way, I want to you know, we've mentioned the
stereotype thing I want to say to people out there if you if
you will get into an argument with somebody and they start
throwing stuff back at you. And they're in they're coming in
from a liberal perspective. Throw it back at him saying
you're stereotyping. And when you because they take that is
like it's like throwing water on the Wicked Witch. They just
can't deal with it because they can't stereotype because it's
like, it's like confusing the computer and an old Star Trek
film, or Star Trek episode where you confuse the computer with
logic. Just say you're stereotyping. And it'll blow
their mind. Yeah. It's like
It's like inserting a virus. Yeah, you're stereotyping. But
of course, stereotyping is only black. To that stereotyping in
their mind. They don't understand.
There. Believe me, there's a lot of stereotypes. They'll call you
out on stereotyping under you, especially any ethnic stuff.
So while we're on the topic, though, I would like to I'm
sorry, yes.
Well, if you're still on climate change, oh, well, I know it's
climate gate thing.
Well, let me just I gotta move off into my denialism and then
we can come back here, well, then we'll go back. Okay. So I
have not been able to find the actual audio from NASA. And I've
been all over the site and maybe someone can find it for me, but
the the quote has been published widely across the internet. So
what happened this past week is on the International Space
Station, we had a big PR moment. Oh, yes. How hilarious because
the astronauts were able to fix the 100 billion dollar space
station with a toothbrush there MacGyver. But did you hear the
quote that came back the one of the astronauts said now you
probably didn't hear is a the only news report I could find I
just didn't want to only read it. But you can find the quote
everywhere online. Listen to what the astronauts said after
fixing the space station with a toothbrush, a little ingenuity
and a toothbrush.
Two astronauts have been using a rather low tech solution to try
and restore full power to the International Space Station is
armed with homemade tools including a toothbrush and pipe
cleaner.
The astronaut unsuccessfully tried to make the repair during
a spacewalk last week, but the stock Space Station volt
prevented the astronauts from installing the power unit with
no hardware store for hundreds of miles and no supply ships due
for months. The team had to improvise creating these tools
to clean out debris from the bolt socket at Central Florida's
News 13 explains the space station can't operate at full
power without the power switcher
will help well power from the solar arrays to different parts
of the station. Without this new unit. The
station can't relay power from two of the eight solar arrays
to walk concluded Mission Control said it's been like
living on the set of Apollo 13 For the past few days.
Okay, so the quote was, it's been like living on the cell
wonder they pulled it out of the set of a mountain but listen to
what she doesn't even catch it. She's such an idiot. She
continues,
referring to the 1970 effort to save the three astronauts during
the fight. Moon mission
no no referring to the movie. But she's she's she's so mind
controlled that she's like, Oh, she's right on board with. So
the actually said it was like being on the set of Apollo 13.
This set. I mean, we should have I mean, we're glad we kept some
of the pieces from that set for this set. And they have elect
electric toothbrushes. I might add, according to all the
reports, so not only did they have an analog toothbrush laying
around, just randomly on this highly controlled 100 billion
dollar space station, but a pipe cleaner. You're gonna tell me
some dude up there smoking a pipe and he has a pipe cleaner.
Come on.
Now, you mentioned it a pipe cleaner, would it be part of
some kit? If there's some tubes they need to clean with a pipe
cleaner? That's interesting.
And they were very
interesting. Yeah, I think the observation is valid that they
Why would there be a pipe cleaner is specifically that
little bitty thing was a metal thing with a little it's like
it's like a test to brush on is really small for pipes
specifically for pipes. It's a pipe cleaner. You you clean the
pipes so you can get some air to come through as your bills have
all the goo and
and they use electric toothbrushes. Why do they all
just it's just a random extra toothbrush, like one of the
astronauts left his toothbrush when they leave his underpants
behind to on the sleepover. Come on. And then just to top it off,
NASA does impossible pretty darn well. ABC reports the astronauts
were greeted with champagne when they got back inside the space
station. No alcohol of course because alcohol is not allowed.
And they have alcohol free champagne on board.
Come on switch. You said essentially come on kind of a
report is This is terrible. No alcohol but champagnes flowing
with the pipe clean and what is it wet? Blue?
Here's another question. They could say the thing about the
champagne. But what is the point of the disclaimer about the
alcohol in the report at all? Yeah, well, of
course. Because the because? Well, from my perspective,
because it just makes you more confused, confused of an idiot
about what happened. If these guys are on the set? Yeah. Okay.
All right. So you believe whatever you want. It's the
oldest crappiest set in the world. If I hadn't seen the
flyover, I'd have a hard time believing it but the set of
Apollo 13 So thank you very much, NASA for that wonderful
quote. Someone needs to be shot and of course you can't find the
video or the quote on the nasa.gov website anywhere. Which
also I might point out you have to do www.nasa.gov
Really, they don't have the don't have a setup monitor in a
modern way.
Go ahead and type in nasa.gov and you will get oops, go ahead
try it. These are the these are the guys that brought you so
they can put a car with a camera on Mars but they can't configure
w nasa.gov without the www that's your science right there
baby
mind it'll be on it. Yeah.
Am I right or what?
No, it doesn't get good it works. No it mine does no works
with a nasa.gov but it throws the WWE my browser
Firefox puts it in after a while it times out. But nasa.gov it by
itself does not work as a as a website.
So I made a mess out of this website.
Oh yeah. Yeah, yeah. Cuz it's just they're so great.
Oh, they need to get that guy does the $80 million websites
apparently.
You want to say something about climate gate while we're? Yeah,
you
might as well play the glide the climate gate jingle Oh,
I love to do that hold on a second. Here we go to the gate
to the gate to the clinic
so they you know, the BBC is on board with the whole thing to
the extreme. So they had to bring this report out about and
but the thing is, I think we've seen this report before about
the shrinking ice shelf in the summer as it melts off around.
This is the Arctic ice is is now melting so fast. That if you
flew up there, it would be gone by the time you got there. This
is the
standard. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. So there's one little
anomalous comment in here, but this is a pro climate change who
doesn't say this shows not balanced pro Climate Change
report from the BBC, which brings in all the memes and it
does everything and this is the just like this load is like
Friday. And I think it pretty much summarizes things and then
there's just one little gotcha in there that they can't seem to
get around. And they mentioned it and then he kind of blow by
it and then say, Oh, we're all gonna die. But anyway, play
this.
This is how much ice on average is left at the end of the summer
melt. Compare that to what's left right now and the melt is
still underway. This windswept landscape has warmed up in the
past for natural reasons. But scientists are convinced manmade
pollution is accelerating the change. And they say it's big
enough to make a difference. We find a bearded seal on a tiny
iceberg, one of many creatures that need the ice. The ocean
will refreeze this winter. But sometime soon, there may be a
summer with no ice at all. So the impact of this great change
may well be felt far beyond this remote part of the world heat
waves in the United States, storms in Europe, all because
the melting of the ice may shift the position of the jet stream.
This is early days for the research into this. But the
scientists are convinced scale of change here means they're on
to something. David Shipman there with some very alarming
findings from the Arctic north that affect all of us around the
world. You're watching BBC World News.
So he says that this has happened in the past, but they
think that was for natural reasons. Yeah, this isn't. They
don't know. Why is it? Somehow it happened before, by the way,
for natural reasons. Yeah. But now they're convinced that this
one which is unnatural, is but this one for some reason is
unnatural. The sciences? Why is this
just because the scientists say so that he said that right
there, the scientists agree. It's pretty soon it will be
scientists and four out of five scientists agree you should cut
your penis off. And people be like, Oh, I better cut it off. I
mean, this is how stupid people are. The women may not be that
stupid, but they're not penises. Just trying to prove a point
here. This is you have to be very, very careful when you just
say science is in and believe it. And this is how you're being
tricked. Do you know that we have 78 degrees here in Austin,
Texas, for the past two days, and it looks like it's gonna be
that way for the next week. I want to repeat, I want to repeat
this is September, beginning of September 78 degrees. In Austin,
Texas.
Well, what is it normally? 100? Oh,
yeah. Alabama has has been the coolest summer ever. So where's
the hole?
That doesn't count? That's weather. Oh, I'm
sorry. I'm sorry. What am I thinking? When it's my weather
doesn't count when it's there. Whether it counts? Okay.
Oh, hottest on record. Yeah, forever for the
past 279 months. It's this is a real problem.
Jobs are going up rigor and the job recovery. I mean, everything
is lies and then they wonder why people are skeptical but some of
the science information that's coming through from a bunch of
guys who don't make any sense
or any money for that reason. We don't make sense. We don't make
money. Oh, John, John, John, John. Okay. Now you're gonna
love this. No, actually, it's sad. It is. This is the saddest
thing ever. So sometimes when we have an off donation day or week
we try to augment that by doing by you coaching me do some voice
work. In the hopes of getting a
national ranking, you're making me lose confidence in my ability
to direct Well,
so do you remember the most recent one we did? The one we
did?
Yeah. Gafta remind me about Taylor Swift. All right, Taylor
Swift.
So okay, so I'm going to reread the specs for the script, which
you directed me upon, to the spec was and this is for Taylor
Swift. The web announcement specs 18 to 28 year old cool
male positive reading should not feel rushed, but needs a few
beats and should fit within 30 seconds. No more than two takes,
please. And so you and I we rehearsed it. You got me pumped
up. And then you had me do the voiceover and you agreed that
that was the one right? I mean, we're just we're going to agree
that and I think even the chat room was listening live at the
time said okay, that's the one right, so I'll just play that
for a second just so you can get it Adam curry Vox agency Taylor
Swift Webb announcement. This is Taylor Swift. She wants to give
the Sony any x five R as a gift. She also loves to give back to
her fans, which gave Sony an idea as Taylor promotes her
upcoming album read Sony's giving you the chance to come
along as their personal photographer. You'll document
every amazing moment with a Sony ne X. But first you'll need this
submit a portfolio of your five best photos and what you said
is, you know, put a little bit of the surfer dude in and you
know and you actually pump me up like you love Taylor Taylor's
the best and that's what I came up with and we all universally
agreed that was the read right?
I think so I think a little bit could have been toned down at
the beginning I think that if I would have heard that is from
the guy doing the producing I would have said Bring him in. We
can work with this guy and then that would have put you in the
studio in a normal way and then they would have made you say it
over and over and over and over again until they get the one
they wanted and that you're done. You get your dollar check
for 45 bucks whatever it is 60 bucks and boom you're back home
and you go buy some food
okay so needless to say we did not go buy food did not pass go
did you didn't get a call back now. But the one the guy that
did get it has it here's his here's the official it's out.
Now here's the commercial. Here's the commercial. This is
Taylor Swift. She loves to give the Sony any x five R as a gift.
She also loves to give back to her fans, which gave Sony an
idea as Taylor promotes her upcoming album read Sony is
giving you an any x camera and the chance to come along as her
personal photographer, you'll document every amazing moment
with your Sony any x but first you'll need to submit a
portfolio of your five best photos then who knows maybe
you'll get to join me on the road and use a Sony any x camera
to capture so if they had just said Can we please have a
zombie? We would have done the right read
wow that's nothing like the spec.
It's nothing like my read either John No, I know your read for
sure. But
what's this read the spec again?
18 to 28 year old cool male positive
that guy's not AES like is 30 If he's a day he's not cool. He
sounds like a okay go on.
Reading should not feel rushed but needs a few beats and should
fit within 30 seconds.
Thank you. Okay, he he did one thing I liked which was he
punched up but first come on. Sound like one of the announcers
that you hear on PBS? Yeah. So I think which is a zombie like
quality. Yeah, right. They wanted to just put one zombie
zombie to read the script.
I think we have been reading this all wrong. And from now on,
I'm just going to do every single audition like a zombie.
Because I think that's what they want for some reason.
It may be a big game. They want some
I just want freaking
complaints as I hear people talk dry but they always drink sweet.
Yeah,
they just want some because I think that's that's when and I'm
listening to the radio and television. And all these
commercials are just zombies. It's the same guy. Have you pay
attention to it? I'm going to now this guy could have been it
could have been the sprint commercial. You know sprint now
sprint now offers unlimited bandwidth get the sprint with
the new HTC TC X Samsung no Galaxy three s or the new iPhone
sprint. Who's Taylor Swift? It's just these ones zombies. Zombies
need to talk to zombies because you identify with zombies.
We should have known this we do this show dammit. I'm going to
show my son moved by Jonah. Do you know what gender Imagine all
the people who could do that? Oh yeah, that'd be fun
All right. Well, we here we are. I have to say but we did have
some people. Help us out Michael McPhee in Langley. British
Columbia $111.11 He's a first time donor wants a bag.

probably worth more in the in the in the karmic sense. Besides
when she becomes a SIS admin or a geologist or whatever she can
use her stock options to buy she can buy anything she wants.
Anyhow, please send a man at Amanda usciences in and some
karma for her new Advanced Adventure in cow town. Which is
a way of course the BC people will refer to a Calgary now

it hit people in the mouth at 401 equals eight plus four plus
zero plus one equals 13.8 4.01 equals eight times four times
two plus zero plus one equals 33.
Right so I can give them a take that to the bank to to the head
karma well as they do that's good. That's that's kind of
good, isn't it? You can take that to the bank. You've got
karma, right? So it was at his at 401 donation is eight plus

from you. 50 bucks have belated Happy Birthday to Adam. And
today's his birthday celebrating a Sunday night with some friends
and wine. Of course. No karma or anything else. Just need a
mention of 1337 wine.com 13371 that kind of check that out too.
Hey, did you did you know that the fastest highway in the
United States where the speed limit is 85 miles
an hour? Is a toll road in Texas. It's
between Austin and San Antonio. That's right. A toll road. It's
a toll which means
you're doing 85 And then you got to stop dead.
No, sorry. You should come to Texas we have a reader so you
can just keep going oh, so
anyone not that doesn't live in Texas and hasn't bought a reader
from Oh,
no, no, sorry. Stop douchebag from California yay. No, it
takes a picture and they'll send it to your house.
Key with a bill
yeah with a bill Yeah, it's like you get a bill. You don't have
to you don't have to prepay anything they send the bill to
your house and you know literally for like 99 cents or
whatever and you send off your check
99 cents. It's very sophisticated. It's not 99 cents
I can assure you is 99 cents the push to get on the toll road
from Austin to San Antonio drive 85 miles an hour.
No, I think at the total distance you may be like 399 for
the whole trip probably was probably worse. You don't have
to Yeah, yes. You don't have to slow down all these things. See
you know what you're stereotyping
freeway should be free Gert van trip in Parts Unknown $50 in
fear from tribe. Thank you
heared and Bernie at Adam at tema, anima. Avid rock.
Unfortunately, I've corrected myself so many times on Bernie's
name. I can never pronounce it a hint in Iowa 50 bucks. That'll
be it for today's show 442 which is a little thin and hopefully
people will pick up the pace as they get back and maybe catch up
to the shows. You know before it's too late.
He always kind of sad is that people who are 12 episodes
behind. They don't know that we're actually starving. And by
the time they catch up, we could be dead would be like skeleton
be skeleton it could be those those cow heads in the desert
next to a cactus well we're just gonna presume this was off
because of the vacation week but we do want you to remember
for.org/and A we really are still doing the the work I mean
I think we're we're really going all out and I mean can you
imagine having to watch all the crap that we watch now and then
with the annoyance that now that C span is going commercial and
what are we going to have left? Let me know stations left for me
to watch.
I don't know what we're gonna do. Yeah.
Anyway, let's get to the birthdays another service here

medical field we have a lot of people in the emergency services
field who have access to this. Could you please send me some I
want to try this now. I was like,
Did you see the thing Willow she ran into the Italian version of
the of the disclaimers or the country indications and one of
them was sudden death. We loaded? Yeah, you got the
letter? No, I didn't see that. I didn't see it. She says sudden
death. She translated
the Italian they lifted
off of the American version.
I really didn't see that sudden death. Well, you know, I'll do
it after a show. So you know, at least half time do it after
show. No, but I'll do it after a Sunday show. So let's do it near
the end of this show. Right take it at the end I want to do I
want the tongue of going like that. Now according according
according to Chad who runs EMS there and in Denver he hasn't as
a part of his chemical restraint pack yet because they have to
restrain a lot of people apparently he says in reduces
your entire capability as a as a human resource down to about
about 10% of capacity.
So notch on your ass. Yeah, so
send me some I want to try this. I mean, now that I'm not smoking
and I have a question and the two questions so first, do you
notice a difference in me now that I'm not smoking? Do I see
more on edge more irritated? No, no, no difference at all.
I didn't see a difference when you stopped smoking dope.
Right? But you know, so the dope was easier to quit obviously,
the weed was like, you know, just like I'm not feeling
anymore. And I don't care and I'm around it and like whatever
I know, I actually kind of smell skunky now I don't I'm not even
really interested in it. But the cigarettes now we're on day 10
And day 10 is a little harder than day one through three for
some reason why I don't know what it is. It's not really want
a cigarette don't you? No, no no it's not you know that they
discovered a long time ago. You know, drinking makes you want to
have a cigarette. The acidity in the stomach and they found you
can contract contract. Dick the effect of of drinking like,
especially liquor by having Tums if you do He acidify the stomach
right desire for tobacco lessons by quite a bit apparently. No,
it's not that you know what it is? I am not a doctor.
Oh, oh made the Oh, Stupid me I always take your medical advice.
No, it's certain situations. So you know, sitting outside having
a cousin you know we wouldn't smoke in the house we'd sit
outside you're sitting outside you're like, wow, I'd love to
smoke after dinner I have to say it's kind of one of those one of
those moments and it's
a slam a few high balls instead.
The number the number one place where I miss it is during the
show. And I have been
I've been smoking night and same advice. Last time few high
balls. Yeah. During the show,
I would like to try some hell doll and
kill the show that gives you a high balls would be cool.
Hi, ball. What is the what are the ingredients of a high ball?
I can't remember what is I can't remember I just like saying
high ball and grid type ball is it's
a very famous drink.
Isn't it like a Frank Sinatra type drink kind of a high bar
old fashioned
cocktail. And so here we go. Look it up in the book of
knowledge. Kaposi's it's a drill right to common high ball of
scotch whiskey and carbonated water, which is also called
scotch and soda. Right? Well, I was a family of mixed drinks.
Let's see what else I thought a high ball is more.
It says ginger ale is the classic high bakit ginger ale
ginger ale. Oh, I'll try that. That sounds kind of good.
Really high quality by the basis of the Wikipedia is a class of
drinks, which consists of whiskies mixed with some other
sort of bubbly anything dark and stormy would be a high bowl
which is rum and ginger beer for example, adult dog dolphin,
Ginger with a job at Whiskey and that should be tasty Adobo
dolphin, a gin and tonic they consider to be a high bowl.
Century
that's not that's that's not a high ball. It's a gin and
gin a tiny high blood has to have to me a high blast of
Scotch or, or urban, but scotch.
Mickey will make what is for me a Moscow Mule. I think I've had
a Moscow Mule. What's a mosque? So seven and seven is seven and
seven is basically a high ball.
I'm not buying this.
I know I Moscow Mule is a buck or a mule cocktail vodka ginger
beer. I've had the Moscow Mule I like I kind of liked that with
the ginger
vodka, ginger beer and lime served in a copper mug. What's
the point of that and give you to create some electricity or
something?
It's a battery. You can use that as a battery in if you're a
rebel rebel in Syria in the copper mark, alright, here's
another question for you John C. Dvorak. You sometimes are up
there in the in the region of Washington. And you've been to
Seattle, correct? No, yes. You've been to see I've been to
Seattle recently.
Well, yeah, I guess kinda recently I haven't been roaming
around the city if that's what you're wondering well,
because there is a mystery of foot in foot. No, it's not a
foot but there is a mystery of foot. And it is a sound and I'm
gonna play this sound for you because we have it captured. And
I want you to tell me if you can identify this sound which has
been mystifying residents of Seattle for weeks.
Ready get it? Back here comes
this ambient recording Hold on
now Can you can you recognize the sound you hear the
sound sounds like a motor it sounds like an airplane flying
over sounds like a motorcycle. But what is so what is so weird
about the sound?
Well because it is a sound that is emanating all throughout
Western Seattle and no one knows the origin of this sound let me
play a little more it'd be
I think it could be a very high powerful motor boat out there
sounds like a boat speed boat.
Now I personally believe it is the sound of the star gate
opening but listen
you stretch know what is it make noise when it opens. Kind of
gives you the gears. The motor the old motor finally turned on
my Stargate has an engine no this
is a stargate in the water. Because if it is you know what's
coming through the other side. I'm
glad you mentioned that because it actually is the sound of
horny fish John over
here where the dwama is just starts to run upstream. because
people have been hearing this all over West Seattle doesn't
matter which side of the hilltop you're living on. They've been
reporting hearing this thing so there's been a lot of guessing
there's been a lot of theories even some finger pointing on
tonight. We turned to science to finally try and get some answers
now that's
your clue when they say that turning to science you know the
bullshit is coming really hard.
In case you missed the sound that's been keeping West Seattle
awake. Listen. That low frequency hum said people
wondering just what is it? There are plenty of theories.
It definitely sounds like it sounds like grinding or
machinery. It's it's natural. No. I'm so sad. That didn't
interview me because I want to say, Dude, it's the motorized
Stargate obviously or is
it? Could it be the sound of this ugly creature looking for
love? Marine biologists say yes, it very well could be the call
of the Midshipman fish. Here's the mystery sound again. Now
here's the mating call of the midship
I love this part of the report because they don't sound
anything alike. You know, anything? Anything but science
will prove it to us.
But we wanted proof and we'll just take the whole thing. Oh
yeah, it's just so we turn to Professor Joseph narrow so the
University of Washington Alright, here we go and grad
student Ashwin bodywash we can get some fish we headed down to
the banks of the Duwamish are going to cast it out pretty far
as far as I can with a pair sent an underwater microphone into
the water listening for the distinct sound of the
Midshipman. But there's a difference between an underwater
mic and sound traveling miles over land. Could it really be
the fish? Yes, they say Oh, sure. Yeah, it's it's pretty
it's pretty incredible. And normally you wouldn't hear it
but you know, when once you put something like a boat in the
water, you'll it'll resonate and it'll carry really far the
meaning calls reach a peak in the middle of the night. So the
pair they'll be out late, hoping to solve the mystery.
So there you go, John, it is not a nose. In heat. Yeah, exactly.
In the water. It is not a motorized Stargate, which
clearly it is. It is a horny fish who is groaning against the
hull of a ship. How can the people of Seattle buy this crap
say me? Meanwhile, there's some illegal activity taking places
they're drilling or god knows what this would be my theory on
some boat off shore and they want to do it at night. And
people are bitching so they can't with his cock and bull
story.
Let me just tell you, those of you who are on board for the
mothership boarding pass your purchase is not in vain my
friends it is not in vain when they start rolling out this
bullcrap science on you something's going on. Lock me
up. Okay,
I got I got one that
you can lock me up
well, I'm I've ran into what I thought was the weirdest
commercial ever. And I don't even know if it has been pulled
or they're gonna take it off the air. But this is a commercial
that that is the Dish Network calling out DirecTV and they
normally do this to each other about you know, it's usually
about one price or another. But I have never heard a commercial
like this. I don't even know if it's illegal.
I have no before we play this I have seen them say like breaking
bed none on Dish Network. I've seen that. Is that what this
means?
This is worse. Okay.
You majority of us don't take charge of folks hundreds of
dollars. Just to watch football on Sundays. would pay for that.
I got this and I see games every week. Trip TVs a bunch of cars
Kandra god job find your dirty kinds. It's a real old fashion
con job.
Hidden con by direct TVs big deal could end up costing you
over $2,500 Catch the biggest plays on Sunday live with a
multisport pack from dish. Wow. That's great. I liked that.
Because of course, all these guys are con jobs.
This polygon jobs never seen anything like this is I think
it's
I think it's liable. I thought he was saying cron job at first
conjunct on job and they have a little kid yelling it they go
from person to person all yelling con job. You
know, we need to clip get a better version of that. I'd like
to just use the con job thing. Just by itself is kind of good.
But I swear I thought I thought I first thought I said cron job.
I'm like really got a cron job running or something. But con
job just as a loose thing. Well, you know what?
It is? Okay. I still have the original. I'll take in just
peace conjunct conjunct conjunct together won't have anything to
do with anything.
I have to tell you. I am so close to just gay. Is there a
way for me besides the internet? Is there any other Can I get a C
span was just basic cable was any way to get there. I don't
need any of this crap out my bill. John with internet is $240
a month.
That's a scam. It's a con job
on job. But But I and I don't even have sports packages, like
sports. I don't watch any sports. I don't understand when
the
portions are so small.
And last night, okay, so we want and by the way, they changed the
interface again on Time Warner. And now you can't find anything.
In Mickey's like mad at me. She's like, I can't find the
movies. I'm like, I couldn't find them on the last interface.
And we've literally we go to enter Roku, Amazon Prime, you
get the movies for free as part of your prime package. I'm so
done with this.
We have a bunch of listeners out there who are experts in
satellite technology.
I'm not I don't care. I'm not interested in watching any of
it. There's no
use for you watch C span on this on the
same pewter. Yeah, I guess I can just watch it on the streams. I
mean, maybe you know what I think what I'm going to do,
here's here's my final solution. Because I really wish that C
span was on Roku was just their streams, then it will be done.
I'd cut this I'd cut the whole thing out. We ordered. We were
watching boss, you know the show boss,
which I didn't I've never Why didn't watch the first season or
whatever. And I just got into it recently. And I have to say
Kelsey Grammer, here's what it might take before you say
anything that you can tell me where I'm wrong, because you
probably see more than I have. I think Kelsey Grammer is a
terrific actor who should win an Emmy for this role. And his
supporting cast can't act on some of the worst acting I've
ever seen. So
funny. You say that? Because when you have those two, the
two, we were actually because we do dialogue when something's
really bad. And then you're the girl says what's wrong? And then
I'll reply, well, you really suck at acting. Oh, okay. Yeah.
And that was during last night's show where we were watching
Kelsey Grammer is great. There are one or two I like the nose
girl who you know the the political girl who just went to
the other side.
Yeah, no, she's okay. She she she does her issues
because see her in season one. Because you haven't even see
season one. She I mean, she just she is having sex with this guy.
And it's really sexy. I mean, and she gets pretty naked in
that show is now she's you got to see your screw and in that
show. But you have to watch season one. So I think actually
boss was did win an Emmy. Well, I
know I'm saying grammar. Kelsey Kelsey Grammer when the Emmy he
should win an Emmy for Best Actor. He's really good at this.
But the problem is the supporting cast.
Really bad. Yeah. And well, Mario van Peebles is involved.
And he I think he directs a couple and I'm not a big fan of
his kelsa Graham. We want he won a Golden Globe for boss, but I
think he's been shut out of the Emmys not even nominated. So
anyway. So but this is a fantastic show. And and we had
to purchase Starz network or whatever, just to watch the show
on demand, which is another conjur cron job. And so we were
watching it on my $250 a month cable thing, and it keeps
stopping and crapping out. Because of the great new
interface or whatever, you have to start it up again and then
and it goes back to two minutes. So it's like it's the biggest
piece of it's a cron job crap total crap and for what it's
like yeah, it's not all that great a show.
Notes not I like I enjoy it's a very enjoyable show, but it's
mostly been distracting bad acne although I have to say do have a
clip. Of boss. No, I don't have a clip of boss but I have a clip
of a note. I didn't realize because I never watched the show
but I just caught this little clip on two Broke Girls.
Oh, you know, is that what you're watching again?
No, I was flipping around. I just happen to nail this clip of
an anti post office propaganda right in the middle of this
crappy show and I watched it for these blunders, a blonde and a
brunette they provide another broke. That's what they call two
Broke Girls. The acting in this show is unbelievably bad. And
this brunette woman who I guess is I don't know who she is
terrible. She can barely deliver a line it's just flat. But I
just wanted to play the anti post off of propaganda which is
just gotten me to no end.
I know there was a cupcake check in your purse. It just got mixed
in anyway, who still sends important stuff through the mail
these days? Why are we pioneers? No business women and we need
Keep track of every penny
laugh track. I have with my daughter's passport woes. I've
been sending a lot of stuff overnight to Los Angeles. And,
you know, I was kind of for a while there. I'm like, I'll just
FedEx it. You know, I go down to FedEx. Overnight FedEx cost
versus the United States Postal Service. Yeah. And get used to
it. The FedEx is like, $60.
It used to be 12. It used to be eight when they started FedEx
and overnight letter.
Yeah. Now I'm literally and the girl was very nice. She was now
she's like, Hey, Adam, you back your daughter something? No, no,
it's still a passport. And this should be like, you're gonna
hate me. I said, well, not gonna hate you specifically. But yeah,
I'm gonna hate this frickin cron job. And, and then it's like $60
for an overnight delivery. And but that's it. And it's not even
before 10am It's just like any time. And the United States
Postal Service. They'll do it for I think it's 17.
Maybe less. It's less than that overnight overnight, but just
straight overnight. Yeah, maybe it's half the
price. Less than half the price. Yeah.
And if you just do regular first class, it'll be there in two
days. And
I believe you can just stick this in your mailbox, can't you
and the guy will just pick it up out of the mailbox. You
know, good. Yeah. Right. If you get started Sure.
Yeah. I mean, it's just, it's just nuts. Yeah, get used to it,
because that's what it's all about. That's just another
thing.
Get used to it. Get used to it, people. You're gonna get screwed
over and you can thank your your federal government and Congress.
Yeah. setting this thing up 75 years of pre paid retirement
benefits health benefits they had to do that's why they're
losing their ass.
And it's a scam. And it's a it's a con job. And it's a cron job.
And it's a cron job, you're anti constitutional scam, because
it's at the post office and its workings are listed very
clearly. But you know, just let that go. Because once I let go,
you know, look, just whatever, whatever. You know what
if you want to get to kind of scams that I like we really
follow more on this show than the the post office being
screwed over by the by our own government is I think this was a
good report. It was on Bloomberg recently. And I think it kind of
says it all about the relationship between government
and corporations.
Oh, yeah, I got it. I got it, man. Number eight. Let's look at
General Electric shares if it's about 1%, the world's largest
maker of jet engines. One the biggest Pentagon contract.
August is the total value of military awards fell 40% from
the previous month, GE topped the list of more than 380
contracts announced by the Defense Department with a
combined potential value get this 26 and a half billion.
Before you say anything, John, let me just see. Let me just go
to the book of knowledge. And look at Jeffrey R. Immelt. Let
me just see, he is selected by GE his board of directors to
replace Jack Welch fogs retirement. Then he became the
president and CEO. Let me see. Is there anything? Oh, let me
see. Yes, in February 2009, and was appointed as a member of the
President's Economic Recovery Advisory Board. Uh huh. Oh, and
on January 21 2011, President Obama announced emiltt
appointment as Chairman of his outside panel of Economic
Advisers, succeeding former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul
Volcker. Wow. And this. Let's see, wow, this is very, very
interesting. In July, in 2011, it was General Electric,
announced that it's in the process of relocating its X ray
division from Wisconsin to China. Hmm. And now all of a
sudden he gets a really, really big. Do you think that there's
any kind of collusion there, Jonathan, about his, like,
sleeping with the President,
or conflict of interest? Maybe.
Do you think that the was there any question on Bloomberg about
this? Or was just No, no,
no. There was number eight on their hot list of great trades.
Yeah. Yeah. Great traders. You mean? Or whatever. Anyway,
China, China, Russia and China. Yeah. Wow. That's great. $27
billion. And most of the work is going out to China.
Right? Yes, that's the joke of it. Yeah.
Webinars, let's talk webinars because
you webinars.
I bring this up because I think you hate webinars,
webinars. I love webinars. I love the word webinar.
What is it what is inherently wrong with a webinar? It's dumb.
So all of a sudden,
people The one thing is not a true seminar because supposed to
be a seminar over the web, it's a webinar. So what is the
seminar then what happens is like you get about five or six
people together with someone who's very knowledgeable and you
sit and you can he presents information you converse about
it. It's a, it's a college, it's a functionary system within a
college structure, a university structure, where you can take a
regular course you can take a seminar, the seminars are very
small, elite, you know, people are really interested in
something and it's a done and for educational purposes,
webinars for educational purposes, usually, to sell
something and is like infinite numbers of people is more like a
lecture than it is anything else. Because there's no real.
There's not the kind of interaction you would have in a
true seminar where you're pretty much got the guy right in front
of him. You're asking him stuff, right?
So I could go on. Yeah, no, you could. But that would be boring.
So there's already boring I got a lot of you probably saw this
message. And I didn't understand that at first. I'm like, why are
people sending me messages from the past? Because in 2011, the
CDC released that zombie apocalypse thing. Remember that
the have the prepare for the zombie apocalypse? The zombies
are coming. Yeah. And it was so hilarious, but that was 2011.
And we discussed it on the show and how ridiculous it is. And
you know, is it really ridiculous and maybe, you know,
hahaha, but there really is a zombie apocalypse. And all of a
sudden, this shows up in the news again, did you not get this
and you don't get emails from people and tweet saying zombie
apocalypse, the government's expecting a zombie apocalypse?
You didn't see that? No, I got a lot of it. And it's and if you
just Google it, you'll see it. Like one day ago today, the days
ago, government ready for zombie apocalypse. So what the hell was
going on? Turns out it was a webinar. And I have a webinar,
have a recording of the webinar.
Good afternoon, everybody and welcome to females community
preparedness webinar series.
Welcome to FEMA preparedness webinars see is a series of
webinars Java series is that is your ultimate nightmare. It's a
webinar that never goes away. Welcome
to the September monthly FEMA update where our topic is zombie
awareness.
Is our government out of control.
This is unbelievable. The whole thing
is unbelievable. I mean, I have more of it. But I
practices in promoting disaster preparedness. A few technical
considerations to get before we get started, please make sure
your computer's speaker volume is turned up so you can hear the
proceedings sufficiently.
This is how you take notes, John, in case you're ever
involved in a webinar. And it's part of the government. Because
if you if you're part of the government, apparently You're an
idiot. So make sure your speakers turned up.
This webinar is free and open to the public. It is also being
recorded. within 48 hours, we will be posting a link to the
recording as well as the presentations on Citizen Corps
website. If you look directly to your left and the chat box, you
can see the link to that website.
I can't even play more. Although I should. What is this about?
It's about the zombie webinar.
It's about zombie webinars. This is crazy
during or after a disaster. And to inject a little levity into
preparedness, while still informing educating people. It's
also a great way to grab attention and increased interest
in general preparedness. The CDC on the campaign, which you care
about in just a moment, has been able to generate an enormous
amount of publicity at very low cost.
bad publicity.
They think it's great. They think it's awesome. This is why
they have the whole webinar to teach you how to use zombies to
promote other stuff. That's what the whole webinars about it. But
just check the chat box. You'll learn more over there. I know. I
know. I know.
You give me crap while watching two Broke Girls,
something really, really interesting happened
particularly in light of what we were talking about with the TSA.
Testing your drinks. So yes, and which ones
do we do I think are artists for last or less to show?
Thanks. Oh, gee, I'm sorry, John. You're so right. I forgot
to thank Martin. JJ. Thank you for reminding me. So your advice
was if the TSA comes up and wants to test my drink, then you
just like, you pretend like you were shocked and you drop the
drink and you throw it right and then you throw the drink on the
ground?
Is that what it was? Yeah. That was your advice. You have to
jump you gotta jump like There's air, like you're scared, you
gotta jump in to drink goes flying, right? Hopefully
underpants. So there was a
passenger, and she refused to let the TSA test her drink. And
guess what happened? They threw in jail. Well, they, they
detained her. And she was not allowed to get on the flight.
And so she said, I'll teach the woman a lesson. So here's what's
interesting. You have to listen closely. It's uh, cuz she was
recording with her phone video. So but she's like, it's kind of
like underneath her jacket. So it's a little Rusli. She
recorded the TSA agents and you can see them actually in the
shot answering the questions. So why did why did why did you do
this? Why did you detain me for not letting you test my drink?
Honestly, did you say Do you think I'm really a threat?
Do you think this is retaliatory from my attitude. This is not
making the airwaves safer. It's retaliatory.
So okay, so because it was hard to hear for you. She says, Why?
Why did you do this? They say because of your attitude. And
then she says, Wait a minute. So this was retaliatory? Because
because of my attitude. In the end, the TSA agent says yeah,
that's pretty much it.
Oh, I love it. That's a police state at work. Yes, yep, slave.
So there you go. Shut up. You've got an attitude. And if you have
an attitude, well, then we're just going to retaliate.
That's what we do in a police state.
Have you seen this on the evening news, because I think it
shouldn't be on
the evening news should be on every news.
And the FBI now says that they are very not just closely I
guess they're ready to start implementing their facial their
$1 billion facial recognition system. And wear a hat No, draw
a third eye.
That was third eye right in the middle of your forehead.
underneath one of the other eyes
I think the one I think that well, the hats are not allowed
everywhere. You're not there's a lot of stores. We're not allowed
to wear the hat. But I think the third eye is just in general.
Just when you get up in the morning. You should just you
know we should have them we should have no agenda Third Eye
stickers.
Just like a little sticker. Sticker. just plop that looks
just like an eyeball. Yeah. flop and alert the artists out there.
We just have to take a photo of someone's eyeball stick stickers
and then stick them all over your face
has to be really creepy. It has to be a decal. Even better. Why
don't why not have it have like an eyeball like Valerie
Jarrett's eyeball? That would really confuse the camera. Yeah.
So this. So there's a there was a hearing, which I did not see
on C span. Department of Justice, but they did and you
know how they always enter the written, written testimony. This
apparently happened July 18. And the title of this is what facial
recognition technology means for privacy and civil liberties.
It's not very long, it's it's only about five pages or so. But
you really should take a look at it. Of course it is in the show
notes 442 dot ma shownotes.com. But the key wording in this is
that the FBI is integrated with public databases as long as well
as social networks. Here it is
socially, socially. That's a shocker that listeners are show
they literally say it social networks. Let me get you the
exact the exact language. Here it is. The facial recognition
pilot provides a search of the national repository of photos
consisting of criminal mug shots, which were taken at the
time of a criminal booking. Only criminal mugshot photos are used
to populate the national repository, query photos and
photos obtained from social networking sites, surveillance
cameras and similar sources will be used, although they do not
populate the national repository. So they so they
instead of populating their own database, they just connect
through the API. And you know, Facebook has facial recognition,
they're using it now you can when you sign up to Facebook,
you can say I think you don't think you can do with the
current account. You can say find other pictures with my face
in it.
And you'll actually find a few
Yeah, and a few. A few or find a lot.
won't find too many. I try to avoid all these things. So I was
in Portugal a couple of years ago and went they there was a
trade show I went to and then there was another trade show.
Next to the trade show I was at And the other trade show, which
was the one I was more interested in was police. It was
a police trade show and showing all kinds of fancy new things
for the cops
in Europe and they had a bit they had facial recognition
stuff.
And here's what's cool when you go to these trade shows, they
had facial recognition, they had a facial recognition recognition
system, that the vendor was there. And I know it was like,
Yeah, this one Yeah. Which I taught chatted with him as best
I could. And I said this, this thing actually works. Yeah, you
can test it. And so I got to stay on this thing for like, in
and out, in and out and in and out. Because I'm saying that I
this can be tricked. So I'm going through grimacing, and I'm
having you look at me with this big smile with my glasses on
upside down. I'm doing everything I can. And did it
work. Did you trick it? No. Oh, it's very disappointing. But of
course, this was a close in thing. It was like, you know,
here, you put your face here. Looks at us is this you? This is
different than, you know, random cameras on the top of telephone
poles. But because I was going in, I think, to this day, even
though I didn't spend as much time as I'd like to, I'd be like
I spent a lot of time. I think it can be tricked. I just never
could trick it. I'm not sure I'm not sure what the algorithm was
I would just have to go through it more I think the third
anyway, after we go through these shows go in there find the
guy and shipping Trickett.
Well, there here's an easy way. Maybe so the third ID Kyle, I
think is still an excellent an excellent idea. That you just
mean you get up in the morning, you put on your shoes, you put
on your pants, you put on your shirt, you put on your decal, I
mean, that's just going to be a part of life. We can try that
and see if if if you upload a picture of of you with a third
eye decal of Facebook can find it. It's the same algorithm. I'm
sure it's the same system. Yeah, we should try that. I'll try it.
You don't have a Facebook. I have a Facebook. I'll try it.
Oh, speaking of Portugal, John. Portugal's tough new austerity
measures have been widely criticized as an attack on
workers. The government's announced the raft of changes,
including an increase in social security contributions from 11
to 18%, which roughly equates to one month's salary. This
newspaper chaos gonna describe the move as unfair for the
working classes. So they're rolling out more austerity, a
month's worth of austerity. How about that, huh? a month? What
does that even mean? a month, a month's worth of wages. Because
then you're gonna
screw people out of a month's worth of wages, the equivalent
of BI is exactly the opposite of what they should be doing. Oh,
boy, please don't get into that. Because I'm not gonna get into
it. I'm just saying it's just the opposite what they shouldn't
be doing how they expect to jumpstart the economy. When you
take people's money where they have nothing to spend. Well,
there's some things that work because objects explain it to
me. We got we're not gonna buy anything we're going to totally
austere. And that's going to do what that's going to make
businesses want to open. I don't get it.
Well, it's this to shut the slaves up, isn't it? I didn't
know.
starve them out. Look, we're gonna starve you out if you
don't shut up and do as we say. So something
very interesting, and there was no audio or video of it,
unfortunately, but Herman Van Rompuy, the unelected president
of Europe, and Italian premier a or Premier as you wish Monti, a
Super Mario Monti. They are proposing a special European
summit and this listen very carefully because this is really
bad what's happening to confront the growing populism in Europe.
Quote, we are in a dangerous phase. Monti said on the
sidelines of Ambrose Edie forum at Lake Como. He said a divisive
populism is present in nearly all Eurozone countries, and that
it aims to divide nations at a moment when the impetus is for
greater integration to help safeguard the euro currency and
restore health to the EU's economy. Now, what is he saying?
He's saying that the Golden Dawn party, the PVV, in in the
Netherlands, you know, the Le Pen's party in France. What he's
saying is these people are Nazis and we have to stop them instead
of allowing democracy to prevail by by and there's that word
again. They're stereotyping people who disagree with the
government as as populous which is now code word for racist and
Nazi they're saying or far right wing, that they are populous and
they have to be stopped and now they're going to do this at a
European level. This is a very, very dangerous situation.
is good for the show.
Why it's outstanding for the show. is great. But isn't that
isn't that amazing?
As of if they should if they're doing if they this is identified
as a trend and It's floating around enough so that they're
going to do a meeting about it. It must be a hell of a trend
that's got them scared.
Of course, of course, but this but you know, if you read the
media, and we do this, you will it's always here to builders,
the populist politician, it is Marine LePen the populist it's
all populous and populous is now becoming code.
Right exactly code. Well, in fact,
let's, if we just do a quick populist pop here, if I just
just do populist by itself, let me see what pops up. Wikipedia
says popular populism has been viewed as a political ideology
or as a type of discourse. Generally populace tend to claim
that they side with the people against the elites. While much
of the 20th century populism was considered to be a political
phenomenon mostly affecting Latin America interesting. Since
the 1980s, populist movements and parties have enjoyed degrees
of success and established democracies, democracies such as
USA, Canada, Italy, the Netherlands, and Scandinavian
countries. Academics and scholarly definitions of
populism have varied widely over the past decades, and the term
has often been employed in loose and consistent ways to denote
appeals to the people. demagogue II. Is that what I say?
demagoguing is demagogy, demagogy, Tomodachi and catch
all politics
they're trying to do the trying to do this equation with it.
There's a I did populism populace, Europe and I got the
green European Foundations book, populism in Europe German
translation now available. Now available, the right wing of
populist the rise of the populace. Right. Right. And why
matters rise of white right wing parties in a number of European
countries, the most recent is the true Finns in Finland,
examples in Hungary, Sweden, France and and elsewhere where
the book acknowledges sometimes crucial differences can exist
between these individual parties. It's also true, they
share many attributes. These include focusing their
grievances on minorities, railing against the so called
elites, and always a high level of Euro skepticism. So it sounds
like us.
So yeah, well, I'm looking at a report from 2010 on our national
treasure NPR
figure, by the way, the green moving considers as a challenge
to them personally.
I think that's been they just tried to hijack it here.
February 5 2010. NPR, there's been a lot of chatter about
populism lately. The populace Tea Party Movement kicked off
its first convention Thursday evening in Nashville,
and the occupies not populist.
I don't know. I think well, first of all, populist, the way
I've understood the use of the word is pandering to the people
because that's, that's kind of the way that peered builders
they're saying, well, he just pandering to people who hate
Muslims. You know, well, that's kind of politics, right? Is that
the democracy? If a whole bunch of people want to change
something, then you know, then the majority votes kind of get
to decide so if you're then because you're on the side of
majority then you're a populist it's it's but it's becoming code
populace is now becoming code for nut job, climate denier,
Nazi Holocaust denier, children killer,
all of this stuff. Yeah, that's what you do. You hijack the term
and then you redefine it and then you start hounding people
with it. Until they because they don't know what they will know
what they spend all their time defending themselves against the
redefinition instead of actually doing anything it's great
technique.
And so anyway, so they're gonna have a European summit to
confront growing populism which includes all these populist
they're gonna go after these populist leaders because it's a
threat that literally saying here it's a threat to the
greater integration of the Euro zone to help safeguard the euro
currency it's a threat it's a
threat to the fascist regime they've thrown together course
it is. We did must be stopped. Yeah. Put up with this bullcrap
we were real best. Alright, I have one final clip. But let me
do my final thing and then yours should probably gonna be lighter
than mine. Because I just think I want to introduce something
new.
All right, I have just in line is really depressing.
Okay, you do yours first. Okay.
President Obama after the American hero. What's his name?
I
just read that a few.
The American hero. What's his name again?
Ben. Ben Ben Bernanke, not Bernanke. Benjamin Franklin.
And now the guy friend Johnson from his Canadian. No, the guy
from from Cincinnati who asked the President about those those
questions about the drones.
Oh, that guy. You're the news reporter. Yeah. Yeah, that guy.
We
had him on the last show. I can't remember his name now.
But we know who he is. Go on,
Ben. Anyway, he's a to me. He's a real American hero just stands
up there. The president says, Hey, what's up with the drone
crap, man. So CNN, sat down with our president and asked him all
the hard questions about the drone, about the drum program
about the kill list. And if and if he even pulls the trigger.
And I think we need to listen to this and deconstruct his
answers, you would mean, go Ben swan is his name, Swa Nn. Ben
Swan, American hero, more hero than Neil Armstrong. Here we go.
My question to you is, do you personally decide who was
targeted? And what are your criteria? If you do for the use
of lethal force?
Is this a good question? I like it, I think it's an outstanding
question.
Well, I've got to be a little careful here. They're classified
issues.
Oh, crap. Right off the bat. He says they're
classified. Well, why is that even remotely classified? It's
just a simple question. Why
would the process of targeting the death of people be
classified? Why do we not have the right to know this? And I
would point out in 2009, the president passed an executive
order where he and he alone can determine at any point in time,
what is and what is not classified. He can declassify
right? On the fly, he's hiding behind. And he can sit there
right there and say, I'm the president I declassified this,
but he won't answer it.
And a lot of what you read in the press that purport to be
accurate aren't always accurate. Okay.
And by the way, the press lies. You are a liar, man.
What is absolutely true is that when someone
says what is absolutely true, that means something in NLP
world or in doesn't that mean something? If if someone says
instead of just saying what's true is they say what's
absolutely true? Does that mean
some bogus thing going?
My first job? My most sacred duties, president and commander
in chief is to keep the American people safe. And what that means
is we brought a whole bunch of tools to bear to go after Al
Qaeda, and those who would attack Americans. Drones are one
tool that we use. And our criteria for using them is very
tight and very strict. It has to be a target that is authorized
by our laws.
Okay. Authorized by our laws. Are you writing this down? John,
just want to make sure we get it. Authorized by our laws? Do
we have any laws that authorize killing people?
Apparently we do. Okay,
so it's authorized,
it has to be a threat that is serious.
Some guy in a mud hut in the middle of nowhere Pakistan,
that's a serious threat.
And not speculative,
not speculative. So it can be in a mud hut. But it can't just be
any old mud hut. It's got to be that mud hut. That one.
It has to be a situation in which we can't capture the
individual before they move forward on some sort of
operational plot against the United States. And this is an
example of where I think there's been some misreporting our
preference is always to call
misreporting second time. I'm sorry, you know, your press is
bogus. I can't tell you how we do it.
But you're wrong extra if we can, because we can gather
intelligence. But a lot of
the know that's bullcrap. Because when you captured Bin
Laden, you didn't gather intelligence, you kill them and
dump them in the sea. This is bullcrap. There's
networks that target the United States, the most dangerous ones
operate in very remote regions, and it's very difficult to
capture them.
Okay. I just have to stop with the mind control. Why are the
most dangerous people to the entire United States? Why are
they in the most remote regions of the world? And how is that
danger apparent? I'm asking you a question.
I am clueless as to why they have to be blown up mud huts in
the middle of nowhere. I mean, I can assume that they have people
We'll add a big list like they said, and nobody Obama goes
over. And it's like that crazy list that doesn't list people
that should be on and has other people I never, never heard of.
I mean, forget, we know that they're living in a mud hut. And
so we decided to blow them up. Maybe it's just for target
practice.
I believe that this is part of the psychological warfare. When
the President sits there and says, the biggest threat to the
United States is people in mud huts in some of the most remote
regions of the world. It's like, Honey, I'm really worried about
the scorpions in Corpus Christi, because those are the ones that
are going to come all the way from Corpus Christi, and sit in
your bed and bite you. It's just lunacy.
And we've got to make sure that in whatever operations we
conduct, we are very careful about avoiding civilian
casualties, avoiding In fact, there are a whole bunch of
situations where we will not engage in operations, if we
think there's going to be civilian casualties involved.
I love the words avoid and a whole bunch. There's not every
single one, but there's a whole bunch, we're like, we might kill
some civilians. So let's avoid that. avoidance is not stopping
something.
So we have an extensive process. With a lot of checks, a lot of
eyes looking at it.
Who, what? Which eyes who, Mr. President? Who, who is this just
a group of dudes.
Obviously, as President, ultimately, I'm responsible for
decisions that are made by the administration. But I think what
the American people need to know is,
oh, pick up everybody, here's what you need to know. You don't
need to know any real truth or any information. Here's what you
need to know,
the seriousness with which we take both the responsibility to
keep them safe, but also the seriousness with which we take
the need for us to abide by our traditions of rule of law,
our traditions of rule of law. Oh, I'm sorry, John, our
traditions of rule of law, that doesn't sound exactly like what
he said in the beginning. Like it has to adhere to our laws.
Now. It's just the tradition
to have a tradition, traditions or traditions.
And due process Dupo due process tradition
of due process. Tradition, nowadays, it's an old fashioned
idea. It's
like, you know, we used to have a real Turkey at Thanksgiving.
Now we just get one from the
traditionally, traditionally eat turkey at Thanksgiving. What do
we have in? Yeah, those personally approve the target?
Very good question. Do you personally approve the targets,
which is the same questions, the first question, but okay,
you know, I can't get too deeply into how these things work.
You, Mr. President, are a fucking pussy. Sorry, that made
me angry.
And by the way, it was interesting during the
convention, how often they had to keep talking about what a
great backbone he had.
Why don't I'm sorry, I just got really angry there. If you're
going to kill people, at least have the balls to say it. Say,
yeah,
that's how I say yeah, yeah. All right. It would make the fight
the buck stops here. Yeah, I have somebody gets killed by a
drone. I signed. I signed
up. He's a pussy
up. Yes, pretty wimpy.
Ah, but as I said, as Commander in Chief, ultimately, maybe he's
not the one assigned. Maybe
Hillary's the one well, here he says, as Commander in Chief,
ultimately,
you know, I am responsible for the process that we've set up to
make sure that what he says and what's the process, folks, we're
out to kill Americans,
that we are able to disable the mighty hot in Pakistan. That's
the folks before they carry out those
plots, or the standards did before they carry
out those plots the precrime when the targets an American,
very good question. So is it different when the target is an
American? Okay.
I think there's no doubt that when an American has made a
decision to affiliate itself with al Qaeda, and target fellow
Americans, that there is a legal justification for us to try to
stop them from carrying out plots. Ah,
let me get this right. If an American decides to affiliate
themselves with IQ off Kaida
ello Aki wasn't affiliated with al Qaeda that I know of did was
he but what
does that even mean? Does that mean that you you sign a
contract
or I don't know what it means. It doesn't mean anything. It's
just bullshit where they would go
on where the decoder
ring. What is also true though, as an American citizen, they are
subject to the protections of the Constitution and do process.
So there's two things true. One is we're going to kill you. But
you do have the right to due process under the Constitution.
Yeah.
And then tell it to the drone. Finally, on this topic,
even Brennan said that some governments struggle with this.
Do you struggle with this policy?
Oh, absolutely. Look, I think that look, look, look, look,
look,
I'm paying I'm paying
a president who doesn't struggle with issues of war and killing
peace and killing people. Fighting terrorism, terror, and
the the difficulties of dealing with an opponent that has no
rules.
Get him a prompter. He so that's something I
struggle with, because a filibuster if you don't, then
Alright, so the guy is a huge, huge lying pussy. And in he
won't tell us what the process is. And I'm sorry. I mean, I
appreciate the CNN even asked these questions. But I mean, at
this point, you've just kind of interrupt and say, I'm sorry,
first of all, Mr. President, you're a huge policy. What's he
gonna do? Punch you in the mouth arrest you, and you're gonna go
to jail
for the rest of your life and probably beaten up in an alley
every so often. Oh, well, they're gonna drone Americans.
Now, so shout out so really pushy. I'll show you what a
pussy does. Yeah. And then he walks off this stage. Next
thing, you know, two goons come in and just walk this woman. Oh,
yeah, I'll
show you pussy biatch. So anyway, on
that idea, on this eve of 911,
I want to wrap up this particular piece of heinous,
heinous language and talk and cron job by just running down
the sequences after 911, who got blamed for the attacks, because
in December of 2011, in case you didn't know, a default judgment
was held against Iran, for being involved in the September 11
attacks. So Iran is partially to blame, according to the American
government, for 911. Of course, on the other hand, the 911,
Commissioner and co chair of the congressional inquiry to 911,
both say and sworn declarations that the Saudi Arabian
government is linked to the 911 attacks. Of course, after 911,
President Bush and Vice President Cheney and douchebag,
Rumsfeld, of course, attacked, accused Iraq and subsequently
attacked Iraq for their hand in a 911. Now, you must not forget,
of course, that Afghanistan, of course, is the country that was
linked to a 911 through Osama bin Laden, who of course, was
captured in Pakistan. So I just want everyone to understand that
we have absolutely no frickin clue who was responsible. And
your government is mind controlling you into oblivion
with confusing bullcrap language. Happy 911. Everybody.
Happy 911 It's when it's 911. Is that coming up? Yes, Tuesday?
Yeah. Well, we don't have a show on Tuesday.
Oh, okay. Oh, I didn't realize it. Yeah. Okay. Well, I'm glad
you reminded me. All right. Well, screw you. And it's crazy.
911 condolences. I think we should just stop celebrating it.
Why are we celebrating it at all? Because
the President told us to celebrate. You didn't
do my finishing thing, which has got nothing to do with any of
this is just something I've been watching and trying to follow.
And I need we need to follow something new. What is going on
in Syria? Why have we bailed out? Why was Hillary at APEC
when she could have been at this ministers meeting that no one
has told us about that nobody talks about in our media on
Syria. We're not even apparently at the table.
The 27 European Union foreign ministers who have been meeting
in Cyprus have agreed to step up sanctions against the regime of
Syrian President Bashar Al Assad. It also resolved to boost
the EU's aid contribution to people displaced by the Syrian
crisis by a further 50 million euros to currently a total 200
million meanwhile. Oh, very interesting. And it was held in
Cyprus no less. Yeah. Oh, interesting. Well, of course,
because Europe is the one that has the most to lose if the
Russians continue to have control over the well of the
distribution through Syria,
because this is where it gets interesting. Okay, because
perhaps our deals with the Russian As we've been changing
what we remember when he was doing tillers because you're
going to be involved in Vladivostok. And then we equated
that with the APEC. Well, apparently she did do a meeting
and check this one out. This is the Antarctica agreement that
was made between us and the Russians. And let me mention
before you play the clip, there's a huge debate going on
right now about the British Antarctic territory, which now a
whole bunch of Europeans are getting in on and they're all
trying to chime in that we own this part because it's believed
as a bunch of oil under Antarctica. And now we have to
do a deal with the Russians because we're getting screwed
out of that to
to strengthen bilateral scientific cooperation in the
Antarctic, and also around Bering Strait which connects
both countries. Clinton and Lavrov signed the documents in
Vladivostok on the sidelines of the APEC leaders meeting,
Lavrov, Russia and the US should continue their cooperation,
inspect foreign station's installations, equipment in
Antarctica, pursuant to the Arctic Treaty of 1959. And its
environmental protocol.
So the Antarctic Treaty of 15 and by the way, that was a bad
clip from the source, not me. Yeah. Okay. So they're gonna do
it. And there's they're gonna do inspections of foreign
operations in NRG, the joint venture between the United
States and Russia, when there was a war, the Russians also
deal with the Bering Straits, which the Russians are claiming
at Arctic seabed adventure that they're doing a joint venture
with us one of our oil companies up there, which is becoming a
big deal. There's a bunch of stuff that's going to hit the
fan shortly. And it's going to involve Antarctica by putting
the book
well, that well, no, that's been going on for a while. And we
know that Clinton went up there a couple months ago, she was up
there already.
It's apparently causing a rift between us and the and the UK.
And that is not really being discussed much.
Well, you know, the Russians, they planted a flag under the
ice in Antarctica. That's that's how they claimed it. They went
there with a sub, and they put a flag under the ice and said,
This is ours, which is this is ours. We're here. This is this
is risky territory. And that's, that's part of the whole
dispute. And of course, we have, you know, we have Alaska up
there. So I don't know what's going to happen. But anyone who
underestimates Vladimir Putin is very, very foolish.
Yeah, and I'd say and within there, he's in bed with Hillary.
Oh, my God, that's a visual I didn't need. That's in more
ways than one. Wow. Wow. And so that's something that we got to
keep an eye on. And I think the only people covering it from
that perspective,
I don't put it I don't put it past her or him. I think it's a
very distinct possibility. I mean, we've got all kinds of
weird things going on. We have this, you know, this Glencore,
Xstrata merger is still not on this. You know, there's like,
you know, I'm talking about right, the big, the big major,
you've talked about all the time? No, I haven't talked about
it in quite a while, actually. A year ago. You're talking about
it all the time. Yeah. So
but, you know, even Tony Blair is trying to get all the
shareholders lined up and there's something read, there's
some really, really big moves happening. And meanwhile, you
know, what are we doing? We're watching Honey BooBoo.
Here Comes Honey Boo Boo. That's the name of the show. So I would
Let's play one last thing. Now, social socialism in Asia clip
from France van cat, which was a discussion of all the different
covers, and it's talking about an article in the New economist.
And I thought there was a couple of zingers in this thing that
were just like, why are we being propagandized with this bull
crap.
All right. And there's an eye catching cover on the economist
this week as well. Yes, normally the domain of politicians and
public figures we've got babies on the front of the economist,
and in depth look at the reinvention of the welfare
states across Asia. It's a really intriguing article, in
fact, because it says that as Asia's become more affluent
citizens are wanting the governments to do more,
providing better health care, more pensions, welfare state
basically, and also looks at the incredible speed at which these
are being developed. For example, it says that in rural
China two years ago, 80% of people didn't have access to
health insurance. Now, everyone does compare that to perhaps
welfare states in Europe, that took half a half a century to
create. So very fast developments happening in Asia
looked at by the Economist. All right, well,
health insurance in rural China. Really. They didn't have access
to health insurance in rural China. Really? That's where
we're going with this. Yeah, I
guess, I guess. I guess that's where it's going.
Yeah, I gotta find the best insurance company to invest in
Yeah.
Meanwhile, we're gonna get more Miss Mickey is on the verge of
getting kicked out of her insurance.
That stinks.
Yeah. Because you know, she has actually has some actual stuff
and, and they're like, you're going to the chiropractor too
often. You gotta pay for yourself. Well, we investigate.
Yeah, that's your that's the future. Oh, yeah. But Oh yeah.
Oh yeah. Well, no, I told her to get used to me doing the
chiropractic stuff. That's what I told her. Hey, honey. Hey, Oh,
you don't need you don't need that guy. I can do it. Watch
this. Way. Yeah. All right. So we do have a lot of stuff coming
up. According to the true conspiracy theorists, we should
have a false flag event at the closing ceremonies of the
Paralympics. Tonight. A being nine, nine, the 11th year of
911, nine nine equals 3045. Nine times 933 Somehow, so you can
watch out for that.
Yeah, yeah, I know. My breath on that man. I
didn't I didn't bring it up. But I just wanted to say it just in
case it happened.
I guess I see insurance insured.
It's my own version of insurance. No agenda producer
update is coming up on the stream right after the program.
So make sure you catch that. And and we're going to enjoy our 78
degree weather here during the climate apocalypse of 2012. And
that's all happening here on my side in camp MoPhO, the capital
of the drone Star State Austin, Texas in the morning, everybody.
