Golden Girls get together with your dead body in the middle.
Adam curry, John C. Dvorak.
Thursday, November 1 2012. Time for Gitmo nation media
assassination episode 457. This
is no agenda
wearing my Air Force One flight jacket for maximum effect here
in the capital of the drone Star State Austin. Hey house in the
morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry,
and from Northern Silicon Valley where it's raining here, but not
like it's raining there. I'm John C. Dvorak.
Greg Vaughn Buzzkill.
Yeah, I was just watching the president. He's in Wisconsin
with his Air Force One flight jacket.
Just say Air Force
One on says Air Force One I was getting I was like a leather
flight jacket, a
souvenir to an Air Jacket.
And he just got all the patches on it and everything. It's the
perfect
patches for what is he got Pat patches president. What would he
be wearing? Was he hanging out with Petraeus?
You know, this is what they do. This is what I presidents do in
time of emergency. We we get in you know, we got to dress up a
little bit. Come on. This is this is this is what I expect
from my president.
So you're a little wrong on this storm theory.
Oh, now it's just me. Who started off with the turn left
thing. Please, please.
Well, we got straightened out about the left turn which was
pretty funny because if you saw it in a in a in a stop action,
it goes and turns left. You know, I got a hook. A good hook
and a bowling alley. So Wow.
The best explanation came from you know, the guy that I liked
that crazy scientist who's always talking the Asian guy
with a with a white hair. Yeah. Me Shukaku
that guy was the string theory guy. Yeah.
I think that's the guy he was on with Anderson Cooper. And this
was the first time someone actually gave a good explanation
on television. That's
right. The the hurricane from hell. Like this guy, the
hurricane
from hell. Speakers, just a tad lower. John, if you can just a
tad just a little bit? Well, you're screaming into it. Well,
I'm excited. I'm happy, I'm happy to say
was created by a collision of three large air masses creating
an animal that we've never seen before. We've never never seen
it.
Right. It was it was an animal when we've never seen it
ordinary
hurricane off the coast of Florida. Then you have the jet
stream coming in from the Arctic, going all the way down
to Florida colliding with this hurricane. And then you have
another storm coming in from the west. The merger of three large
air masses created a new animal, a new animal the likes of which
we've never seen before. It is
yeah, he's leaving out the fourth element, which is one of
the key elements of the whole thing, which was the high tide?
Yes, indeed. Well, that's really what did everybody because
when there was a high it was a super high tide and he left that
dificil on a full moon. Exactly, which was pulling the tide. So
you ended up with this? A whole bunch of this apparently a
fortnight here's what bothers me about what we did when we missed
on this on our discussion. Is that there were apparently and
Jen buzzkill Jr. pointed this out to me. There was apparently
a big rift between the meteorologists crackpot
meteorologists, which we should have decided, with all said that
there was going to be a 14 foot toe sea wall, which was going to
hit New York like Not, not with the force of a tsunami, but But
it's going to just hit and flood the town. Right, which it did,
including the subway system, which is going to be out now I
guess until November. But listen.
It is November Yeah, listen to me shoes. Misha boo cockade. The
rest of his explanation because he kind of goes into that looked
at, you know, oh, it's a cat, one hurricane on paper, that
doesn't look so bad.
You can't use the ordinary nomenclature of hurricanes.
Hurricanes are smaller and faster. This was humongous, 800
miles across, and velocities are much lower. But the amount of
energy stored in it was huge, because of the warm water from
the Caribbean, fed by the energy from the Jetstream. And this is
a very unusual pattern that caught scientists off guard. Was
there any way to better prepare for it? It's hard to predict
these things. Because first of all, you have the Caribbean, the
Gulf of Mexico heating up possibly due to global warming,
and that's the basic energy.
And that's just the beginning of it. It drives all these
hurricanes. But then you had he does say possibly I give him
points for saying possibly
the energy difference between that and the Gulf, the Jetstream
coming in from the Arctic colliding with it. Well,
what did you find most I mean, from a scientific standpoint
most interesting about it most surprising.
Most surprising is our computer simulations are not good at
modeling the collision of two air masses. Here we had three
air masses being colliding to predict global warming in time.
And so we were basically how possible global warming is to
give an accurate computer simulation Mission of the
collision of the three air masses before
we went on air we were just talking about some of the things
that have gone wrong in New York that crane which is dangling the
NYU Medical Center, the backup generator not working and you
were pointing out it's it's just little things, little mistakes
that are made that can have a big impact.
Mother Nature is showing us who's really boss. Yeah, I
like that. That's what I like. Mother Nature's showing you
who's boss be she's, that's what's going on here. Yeah,
well, we were you know, the thing is though, if you look at
the reporting now today, in fact, this came in just on US
News This Morning. All the crackpots and I don't want to be
a part of this now. All the crack parts are saying headline
conspiracy theorists say Obama engineered Hurricane Sandy. Oh,
please. I was very careful with this crap. Let me see Info Wars
Intel consumer conspiracy news people
keep listening to these phonies. Yeah, well,
I mean, you know I'm just as big on harp as the next guy. I will
say this my goodness what a coincidence. Look at how look at
I mean to me it's like this thing happened the Republicans
went you know what give it give it to Obama by give it to we
didn't want that we didn't want the next three years anyway.
Hey, Christy, just dude, make make pipe it I
see Christie two years ago, is
the exact same thing. This
let's talk about this because we discussed this on email a little
bit. I want to mention it and I put it in the newsletter it can
it can I just say
upfront I lived in New Jersey for 14 years.
When it seems to flood a
lot, yes. When it rains in New Jersey, it floods. Me we have
floodplains all over the place. And I was not in like Toms
River. I was in North Bergen it floods in New Jersey when it
rains.
Well, this doesn't sound right. What do you mean? Well, I mean,
it seems to me I don't want to I don't want to sound like like a
sore loser or anything. But it's I had a friend who lived in a
floodplain. And he is in the Sebastopol area. And he banked
on getting flooded every two to three years and what didn't
happen every year, it was long enough that he could keep his
insurance going. And every time he got flooded, he had a huge
claim. And he actually profited from this from this house. He
kept rebuilding his home. Well, it wasn't rebuilding the home,
it was just damage. It was mostly, you know, I don't think
anybody lives in a floodplain thinking their houses are gonna
get wiped out. They think the basements gonna get flooded,
they're gonna have some mildew problems. They're gonna have a
claim, right? And that's what he did every year he have some
claim he had to be sold garden got wiped out. So he had to get
landscaping one year. And another thing was one thing
after another and it never ended, and he used to work as an
insurance adjuster. So he knew the game. He knew the game. He
said, he told me once he said, This is a tip for anybody out
there. He says, You go drive around in a that I never done
any of this, by the way, but he told me some of these tricks.
But this is a good one. He says the best thing in the Oakland
area was that people would drive to Lake Merritt was a place
where there's a lot of old ladies driving around and you
drive around the lake over around in a circle. And you'd
keep you'd get in front of a car. And you'd always check you
spend most your time looking at your rearview mirror. If you saw
some woman, go for her lipstick and start putting lipstick on in
the mirror of her own car. You slammed on the brakes, let her
rear end you. And then you claimed it was a dog in the
road. And you by the way, they liked the key. He said that this
is a tip for everybody out there. He says the key to
success and all this is you can't allow yourself to be moved
from the car. I can't move my neck, my neck. Just say that and
you make an ambulance pick you up and take you to the hospital.
What
can I say we're not that smart in New Jersey. We just go like,
literally on
the New Jersey guys would never do anything like that.
Of course now, let's just hear from and yeah, we're laughing.
Obviously, it's sad. And I'm really sad because what I think
is happening as this unfolds before us is we are seeing the
actual collapse of society as we know it. This is now what's
really taking place now you're seeing it. I have a lot of
friends who live in Toms River, which is right down there by the
Jersey Shore but it's really behind the islands. And so they
got flooded, their basements are flooded not the first time not
the second time, not the third time but the basements are
flooded. But they were evacuated. They came back and it
was a mess. But you know what it was a mess from John. Not just
not just from flooding from looting.
See now that hasn't been well reported
on at all at all. There is Thinges don't want to report
it. I mean, I would that's funny to bring this up. Because when I
was looking at some of these guys, what there's a guy has to
say I'm staying here because I'm going to protect my property.
And this is all I've got. And it was, you know, this house was
fine. It looked like to me, it's up. That was it was a mess under
the hood. And obviously, the base was flooded, but he wasn't
going to be evacuated. And he said this, and I thought to
myself, you know, if this was in San Francisco, they want the
World Series is won by the Giants and they had looting. In
the Bay Area, they'll do looting at
the drop of a hat. No, it's crazy. Why do people this this
one I mean, this is this is the collapse of society. And there
was looting going on in New York. There was tons of looting.
There had to be Yeah, but it's well, on the one hand, of
course, you know, if you report it, then it hypes it. But yeah,
they hide everything.
Yeah, but they didn't have any trouble reporting looting and
loot in New Orleans with flag people. Yeah, true. Taking some
food from a store. True,
true. But I just see how, how helpless people have become an
entitled people have become in these situations, where it's
like, neighbors aren't helping each other out anymore. They in
fact, had this little piece of my favorite our favorite guy,
Michael Moore, was on with the Pierce moron. And, and of
course, Michael Moore has his agenda. But he had a very
interesting conversation about people fighting in Manhattan to
get onto the bus. In your first
segment, though your reporter wasn't Jason mentioned that
there were people fighting to get on the buses here today. And
there was no there was. And I've noticed other people said this.
So there's a there's a little more of an edge today than say
there was a few days after 911 where nobody would push her
shove or yell at it. He brings in nine, nobody, nobody honk the
horn. And I think you know, with this, you at least with 911. I
mean, we knew there was a there was an enemy. There was somebody
who did this al Qaeda and bin Laden, whatever. But who did
this? Who did this to me? Why Why am I
now listen to Piers Morgan doesn't pick up on it, he
changes the topic, but Michael Moore will come back to it and
to walk
10 miles to work or fighting to get on this bus? Where do Where
do Where does my anger go? It's not gonna go toward Mother
Nature, I'm not gonna really be able to deal with with that. So
do you think from everything you've seen and heard the
authorities have done enough where they prepared enough for
this
while they were prepared, but only in the, in the sense that
that they haven't accepted that we are going to have more and
more and more of this because of the climate change until they
all get together on that and then work very hard, but also
so so where do you go with your anger? You have to you can't be
angry and mother nature because that makes no sense. Because
it's Mother Nature. But you have to be angry at other people who
are exuding co2, human wasteful human resources with useless
eaters Yeah, you're driving a car you're useless you're gonna
be angry you this is a tremendous opportunity that has
presented itself here we have the Republican saying who
finally got an easy way out. We didn't want to win anyway. So
give it to the Democrats give it to Obama the Democrats probably
like oh, crap, now we got it. All right, well enjoy Obama. So
he's taking it he's dressing up in his flight jacket. And we've
got the global warming crazies out in droves. Just in droves.
This is you know, I go look on Twitter's like this is what
global warming looks like and then show a picture of the
crane. The Broken crane that's gloveless this literally this is
what I see. This is what global warming looks like.
And melted the crane that warming and
and I was so amazed by loosing the peloton know, you know she
She's good. She was speaking at yesterday at a Cyber Conference
which we'll talk about more because it was put together. I
mean, the woman who doesn't even know how to use a computer Yeah,
that's the one we'll talk about more we get into some cyber.
Let me throw a couple of clips in here while you're at it
can just play her 45 second bit as it was that we're gonna do it
later. No, no, we're gonna do this now and the other stuff
later. Just Okay, hit it.
If scene thefts have significant intellectual property intrusions
into significant contractors with the United States and
almost
I can drive the right one here. Now I had the wrong one. Here it
is. This is the one
this is the one I wanted. If seen thefts of significant
I keep doing the wrong one. What is this? Sounds like the same
clip. Yeah, it does. What's going on is this this is weird
and we've seen it in tech and
try. But just think of this. As Mary mentioned a The nation is
under attack constantly.
I don't think that's the one
on cyber. It is an area that I have seen grow in sophistication
and number. In the almost four years I have been Secretary
cyber Secretary Panetta, at DOD has sound sounded the alarm. And
I do as well. One of the possible areas of attack, of
course, is attacks on our nation's control systems, the
control systems that operate our utilities, our water plants, our
pipelines, our financial institutions. And if you think
that a control system attack that takes down a utility, even
for a few hours is not serious. Just look at what is happening
now that Mother Nature taken out those utility minutes,
it's supposed to be global warming, it's not Mother Nature.
That's a funny part. That's I think that that's the funny part
about it there. I have a couple of clips session I actually
wanted to stick with Piers Morgan Bonacci have changed the
subject. Let me just flip a couple of these clips that show
what's really going on and a big promoter, of course of a power
grid upgrades would be none other than General Electric. Oh,
hold on. So let's start with Maria Bartiromo on CNBC. Wait a
minute,
let me just make the connection. See CNBC and NBC affiliates
owned by General Electric. Okay.
Well, this was a freak storm. It's demonstrated that when our
outdated power grid is tested, it fails. Now of course, we
cannot control such things as the weather. So let's focus on
what we
disagree with that Hello, I'd like to disagree that we can
control the weather and
control how we can improve our infrastructure like our power
grid. To me the storm and the massive power failure should be
a clarion call to address our antiquated grid to better
withstand such uncontrollable events.
Which Ge will bring good things to life.
Yeah, GE he's good at this then put now play. Here's Brian
Williams on NBC.
Oh, no. Is this the one or the two is the one okay?
Millions of Americans in this part of the country are in the
dark tonight. Some of them are packed in mighty tight here in
New York City. Many of them are along an aging power grid that
if we're not careful might finally get a good long look at
as we are forced to deal with our aging infrastructure,
aging infrastructure. Okay, just like him now playing. By the
way, one time is not enough. And another in a different version
of the show. He does it again,
who said he separated by one block raises a lot of questions,
doesn't it about the power grid our aging system? Oh, wow. What
do you know, I happen to have one. Do you have another one?
Because I got one too.
I got one more. Oh, what's your one one? Now here's the one
where Harry Smith gives a report about the miserable power grid,
but he can't resist mixing his messages and throwing in a
little global warming. That
was Hurricane Irene. Many a climate scientists say there is
a reason this is happening.
We're seeing more and more extreme weather events, leading
to greater and greater economic damages. And I'm very suspicious
that climate change is an important player for many of
this.
Whatever the
reason, these storms put the power grid at risk. And for the
time being massive power outages are an inevitable reality. Matt
Clark Gillings of The Electric Power Research Institute says
building a power grid that can withstand these storms is just
not economically feasible,
it would be nearly impossible to make the investment that would
be necessary to say that we could be 99.999% reliable, we
make some rational decisions, and we make a few compromises.
We do that on behalf of the consumers that are served in the
industry because if you were to gold plate the power system,
nobody be able to afford electricity.
But even a gold plated power grid might not be able to
withstand unpress Omega companies just since that
let me play my clip them because this is also this is from MSNBC,
the NBC being part of GE here's my favorite and yours Rachel mad
cow.
I have a modest proposal. How about this? So sometimes power
goes out because of transformer explosions or because of
inundation of water more frequently power goes out
because a tree falls down on the power line. How about we do a
big stimulus project for the country, a big infrastructure
stimulus project where in all of the places where the power went
out because of Hurricane Sandy or because of something else in
the past year, when the power went out because trees fell on
the lines. Trees are gonna fall in the lines again, how about in
all of those places, we have a big nationally funded investment
in infrastructure to bury the powerlines How about that? I
think that's a bad idea.
But well, gee,
here's a G smiley had to stop. I have to say a couple of things.
First of all, Harry Smith and I don't have the clip unfortunate
because I couldn't find it. But there was a couple of clips. In
fact, buzzkill Jr. screamed out loud when the guy says, We've
got to get rid of these trees. Okay, so I think Holy crap.
They're going after the trees, though, because they're falling
on these powerlines. And by the way, New York City is all
underground power lines. What the hell's she talking about?
The reason they shut it down is because apparently they put
these things. Here's here's what here's the question, I'll ask
you. They can run a transatlantic cable, all the way
from London all the way across the ocean. All it originally was
electrical in terms of its there was wiring, but now it's mostly
fiber optics. But there's electronics all along the way.
So that thing works. How can they bury a cable under an
ocean, but they can't bury the power lines under New York City
without worrying about them getting flooded and shorting
out?
Well, this kind of leads to the point that I was going to make
is, you know, we had there were several transformers as a
different issue. And you don't necessarily have to you have,
I'm not familiar with undersea cables, and how the if they
have, you know, transformer stations on the bottom of the
seabed, but you do have transformer stations that you
need. And if these get wet, then they can explode. But the
interesting, here's a real fact for
you. Well, how wet do they have to get because it rains quite a
bit.
I don't know. I mean, I don't know these things. But the
explosion that took place that was a gas fired electrical
plant, I will point out that there was an explosion there
that did take out a lot of the grid, but 34 of the 37 area,
nuclear plants, all function perfectly didn't shut down three
shut down with precautionary measures, as you know, as they
were supposed to. I'm now have the mindset, John, that I'm
going to go all in with global warming. And I'm going to say or
climate change or whatever the hell you want to call it. In, I
will believe that science, as long as you accept the science,
that thorium nuclear reactors can be perfectly safe. As he's
proven proven here. In this example, there was no explosion,
there was no danger, they tried to hype it up a little bit. But
what actually happened is the gas fired plant blew up, not the
nuclear plants. And that is what took down a whole bunch of the
portion of southern Manhattan
shuts it by the way, they shut down before anything occurred. I
mean, they just shut everyone off. And in the southern part of
the island. Here's the quote, here's here's a kind of an
interesting thing that I thought was a slip up. This is Piers
Morgan, talking about how bad you know, Piers Morgan, I think
at some point doesn't even know he's an elite. He's forgotten. I
don't think he ever knows that. He's an idiot. Yeah. And he's
like a dumb British twit type guy, you know. And he was
British. So he puts he says this crazy thing. And it shows he
said it. I'm thinking, wow, there's like, we know where the
elites in New York live.
Amazing scenes. It's New York is very much a city at the moment
of two hearts, in Manhattan, on the Upper East where I have an
apartment, pretty normal people going about their normal lives,
and things that are below sort of 38th Street is total chaos
and blackouts and flooding and clearly where you are just over
the water, the same kind of scenarios. So it's a really
strange kind of double life going on now for New Yorkers.
But for now, Gary, thank you very much.
Well, the elites go down they have their weekend piano tears
in the village. You know, when they go when they
everything is normal.
Everything normal everything. Okay, keep calm. We're all
ze bars. Upper West Side, same thing.
Yeah. But seriously, John, I mean, you know, it is so
interesting. And this is kind of the only takeaway I have from
this that people go all in and believe the science will it will
blatantly accept the climate change as fact. I mean, there's
no fighting it you and I can laugh and chuckle and, and scoff
all we want, but there's there's no fighting that. But when you
say okay, well then you need to look at the actual science of
nuclear today's modern nuclear, not 60 year old technology.
Today's modern nuclear it is the actual definition of
sustainability. You can reuse nuclear thorium waste as fuel
again, it's the size of a football. It's no longer these
green vats of goo. So that's going to be my my, my mission
from now on is to come up with different ways to hit people in
the mouth and say, I'm so on board with climate change.
Absolutely. So have you looked at the science of nuclear
and they go who Oh, Fukushima man. Oh, Three Mile Island man
that Yeah. Uh oh yeah. Oh yeah,
they talked like that.
That's exactly how they talk man. Like my Fisher radiated are
gonna get some iodine tablets man. You people listen to this
show will not will even get angry at me for saying this. But
that's because you haven't looked at the Science, Science
I'm telling you science, the sciences. So that's it from now
on no more laughing global warming from me. It's all true.
And I think the only way out is nuclear. Okay, are you on board
with this? Are you on board with? Why not?
I don't care.
Just because you have less years to go That's not fair.
Yeah, a couple of decades at the most.
I think couple is exactly it.
I think about that. I get like, what am I gonna get if I don't
get hit by a bus if I don't get knocked down
by they have buses in Texas? Oh, yeah.
They got buses here. Well, I got like, 30 years maybe? I'd be at
think I'll make it past 80. You think I'll make it to New? Yeah.
You think I'm halfway? I'd like
to see. I think it'd be fun. If you got the 90 out. Yeah. Hey.
Can you imagine me with my Tourette's at 90. I mean, it's
like
there's a couple of things. I just had to wrap up this thing
about door there's a there were trying to, you know, before they
could get any helicopters in the air so they could actually do
real reporting. They're trying to make up as much as they
could, of course, so they had guys standing and
you see the one where the guy was the guy was in South Jersey,
like Atlantic City, and then the guys came out in bathing suits.
And we're we're dancing jumping around.
Was that was funny. I like that. Yeah. But my favorite one was
there was showing it well, this this global warming thing is
creating a blizzard in West Virginia. Now and so they put
the guy in an area No, I hate to say that. I would assume by the
name of the town that it might actually snow there in other
situations other than just crazy confluence of weather. It was
snowshoe West Virginia. You know, and then it turns out to
be a ski place resort, ski resort, it's gotta be snowing
there Stop the presses. It's snowing and his ski resort has
fun. So they tried to make a story out of that which went
nowhere and the guy was Nick with his he had this he grabbed
the snow and he put it against his This is heavy heavy snow,
the kinds that breaks trees you know and so he was up in an
Arizona but these pines that obviously weren't going to put
up with a lot and but the one thing that really got me there
was and I you kind of touched on it earlier I wanted to get to it
before we change the subject there was a rundown I watched
this clip as the storm run down. And there was this guy and I
don't know if it was the woman's husband who's taking the video,
but it might you remember that double rainbow guy who's going
on and on this woman isation of the of the American male which
is epitomized by this clip where the guy watches a tree fall
over. It just out almost actually sick and
it's the feminization feminization of the
feminization. No, this
feminization yeah this play it
I took Ground Zero, lower Manhattan was plunged into
darkness. electricity generators exploded in spectacular fashion.
What's going on? I don't know what's going on. Oh my God. Many
cars were damaged by falling trees felled by the high winds.
Oh my god.
Okay, hold on. Hold on. This is New York's Lower East Side.
Okay, this is the East Village, John. So this this this may be
kind of typical for the area. Who
may be but I don't think so. Because this was a neighborhood
with a bunch of trees. And there was a driveway with a car and it
was nothing in the lower or the lower part of Manhattan that has
this this this was somebody in the suburbs either in Queens.
God knows where. But this guy was was hysterical. Right.
Right. You got to play that last part again, just to hear just
get burned in your brain. Yeah, but
um, yes. Hold on a second.
I don't I don't think guy needs to grow a couple.
Well, again, I think this is the it just takes me a second before
I can fast forward I think.
I don't think this is no this is just a this is a typical
American male in today's world.
got many cars were damaged by falling trees felled by the high
winds.
No, no, no, no, no.
No, I'm sorry. This is not your typical American male. I'm just
gonna have
to disagree. While you're living in Texas, where there's less of
them. I live in Austin. Okay. Well, there's lots of them there
too.
This is, this is not your. I'm just gonna say I don't think
this is your typical male. Okay, well, I
just thought I was very, I was offended by that you were
offended. Really? The BBC is trying to insult America with
that guy screaming like a woman.
This was a BBC clip.
Yeah. BBC clip those bastards.
That's so funny. Well, you know, we're gonna have a fantastic
benefit concert. You know, that's going to come out of it.
That'll be great. Forgot.
You're right. Yeah, definitely headlining the Live Aid.
It's going to be headlined by Bruce Springsteen, Bon Jovi. The
whole Yeah. Gotta be the headliner, Nikki's going to be
there with all of the Jersey Shore crew. And of course,
we're going to collect a crapload of money, and they're
gonna keep it. Yeah, well,
this is the one thing we do have to discuss. Because no longer I
mean, and this is where Mitt Romney made a huge mistake,
actually, we should play that clip in a second. So the way
when I was growing up what people needed, when you know,
when something like this happen, because this did happen, you
know, I'm old enough to say I remember when disasters happen
in America, and we would do a food drive, and we'd collect
food. And then when you know, some brave dudes would get in
their trucks and the rest were going to get taken out in the
drive for five, five days to over the disaster area was and
they'd show up and they'd have the trucks and you know, they'd
feed people and give them nutritious stuff, and blankets
and water, exactly the kind of stuff that Clinton and Bush
didn't want for Haiti,
we just need cash. I know a lot of people want to send blankets
or water, just send your cash.
And of course, we know what happened with Haiti, you sent
your cash. And we still have 300,000 people living in tents,
eating dirt with elephantitis. And all around cholera, pooping
their guts out,
which by the way, is worse now because apparently, the storm
wiped out the crops. So now they're Starvation is the third
element. Nobody's doing anything.
Maybe this is just chop everyone's leg off. You know,
it's like, hey, take this up, if you can get any worse for you.
But that's a nice hotel up there in the distance in the hills. So
that's what happens with these aid organizations. And it's so
funny, because immediately, you get the Red Cross out there. And
no one ever really looks at what Red Cross does. You know,
please, if you investigate what they did in Haiti, they Yeah, we
know, we know how to funnel the money, and we know how to do
everything. It just doesn't really work that well. But
people fall for it. And this all goes, you know, text Red Cross
to 909, or nine or nine or nine or nine or, and $10. Everybody
do it. Now your consciousness clear, but you're not really
helping. And then enter this whole conversation, as the New
York Times wrote that, you know, big disaster needs big
government. And this is a conversation worth having.
Because I'm not so sure that this is working out the way it's
intended. When I filled out my tax form this year, there was
still like five different boxes, you could check. If you were a
victim of Exxon Valdez, victim of Katrina, a victim of the
Gulf, a victim of this a victim of that, then you get to deduct
all this money. This can go on forever, you know, it just
can't. And when something bad happens, and you live in an area
where something bad can happen, it's like here in Texas, I can
burn the f up. Now we can have a wildfire and it can burn and
that's the risk that I take for living here. You live with the
Jersey Shore, you can drown. You know, at what point do we do we
say, okay, we can't be bailing everyone out of the of where
they live and things that happen, then is that a crazy
thing? That is crazy for me to think that way? John?
No. In fact, I think you're probably, you know, because they
don't The thing is they don't bail people. They just throw
money at it. If they do anything. Most of them don't
even do that. And I'm reminded of the thing that I don't have
clips on it. But so you had the situation where Romney's a
classic Mormon and they did a big food drive.
I have the clip. You want the clip? Yeah.
Let me just let me set it
up, set it up, set it up. Yeah,
he does a food drive, which apparently is not what the big
government wants. And so Obama has to come out and condemn him,
essentially. Yeah.
Well, it wasn't just Obama that came out and condemned him. It
was MSNBC who outed him as a fake and a phony.
And the death count was climbing in New York and elsewhere.
Traditional political decency dictated that Mitt Romney not be
caught campaigning yesterday. And so team Romney hastily
rewrote a campaign event into a quote, non campaigns storm
relief effort. Thanks to BuzzFeed reporter McKay Coppins.
We now know exactly how they did that. BuzzFeed reports. The
night before the event campaign aides went to a local Walmart
and spent $5,000 on granola bars, canned food and diapers to
put on display while they waited for donations to come in.
According to one staffer, as supporters lined up to greet the
candidate, a young volunteer in a Romney Ryan t shirt stood near
the tables, his hands cupped around his mouth shouting, you
need a donation to get in line. Empty handed supporters pled for
entrance with one woman asking what if we dropped off our
donations up front? The volunteer gestured toward a pile
of groceries conveniently stacked near the candidate. just
grabbed something he said
is one thing to do. A food drives other things were to be
Bogut IV.
How do we know it was Bogota?
Well, this is this is on the spot reporting that they just it
was it was a campaign event they turned into a food drive.
While they couldn't do the campaign event, the monster do
something with their time. I wasn't buying that. I mean, I
didn't think they'd had to be filmed. I mean, there's your
key. I mean, if the media isn't going to go there was does the
event still go on? Yeah. So then it's legit. Yeah. But you take
the cameras there said, Well, you're only here because of our
cameras. No, we're here. I mean, the whole thing is like a weird
sight circle. You know, it's like, Yes. Bring your cameras to
shoot it. So it must be phony. But wait a minute, what if the
cameras weren't here? What does still be going on? Well, yeah.
Oh, that's the question. You don't want to can answer if you
didn't have the cameras there. I mean, this. This is law. And
then Obama comes out and it makes a big speech about the Red
Cross knows what it's doing. No, they don't. Not. That's what he
said. Yeah. He said, The read he did just to name it at Romney,
because Romney figured the same thing out that we figured out,
which is these, these drives for money are just dead money never
goes to the people. So so I guess he had something critical
to say, I don't know what it was. I missed it. But whatever
the case was, Obama comes out says the Red Cross knows what
he's doing. Obama, Romney should get out of the way. Oh, I didn't
hear him say that. Pro. I didn't say Romney should get out of the
way. He made the illusion that Romney should get out of the
way.
Wow, wow. But it doesn't make sense to me, because that's not
so it, whether it's government or Red Cross, or whoever it is.
But this is where if you remember in Katrina, down in the
New Orleans area, there was all these professional rescue
operations that had their boats and everything ready to go. And
FEMA wouldn't let him in right. Now, the theory in hindsight, is
that because there were so many dead bodies that were going to
float to the surface, from shallow graves all over the
area, that it would have been a horrible sight. And they didn't
want anyone capturing that on a on a on a camera, right? But but
they still didn't let them in whatever the case, whatever the
real reason was, I don't know that the bodies ever did pop up.
Bar around New Orleans, I'm sure must have. They must have just
floated been floating everywhere. But that's kind of
beyond the point. I think the point is, you're talking about
the feminization of the American male, we've gotten to this point
where, you know, something happens and we're like, okay,
where's my help? You know, it's like, there's like this self
entitlement of Alright, well, something should be here now.
And it's and this is ridiculous, and, and I'm outraged and it's
not going the way it's supposed to this is not the promise I
got. And sometimes just bad things happen. And you you make
do and the only thing you have is your community around you,
your neighbors and you know, and, and the preparations that
you have made. And by the way, some of these crazy preppers not
so crazy anymore.
Yeah Summerson true,
a meta prepper it would be what the way I go when he met a
prepper meta, meta prepper was mad at prepper as someone who
has the mailing list of all the preppers and then when something
bad happens, you go find them and shoot them and take their
stuff now you
know, you don't shoot your fellow prepper This is a metal
prepper that's not right. Yeah, you're not you're not prepping
right John. I don't like you. You're not a good prepper
This is why I have I have my my node set up now. I'm the ham on
the hands on the hams frequencies. I've got a I've got
a node on the echo echo link 775753 And we're going to make
this daisy chain of RF repeaters great and I get a lot of people
who are interested and if you ever figure out how to program
your radio then maybe you can be a part of it.
I gotta get one I gotta get that programming module that let you
get inside the thing. Oh, do you don't you didn't get the core i
got the one they said it's a piece of crap everybody says you
should get a third party one. Oh, no, but that
no, you got the you got the CD ROM and the little bitty
one it got you go in there and poke around but apparently
there's a third party one that lets you really do some some
great stuff with that little guy like
like kind of like my radio working now if you don't mind.
Like did we use it enough? So I've got like a mile radius that
I can reach right now with the with the antenna I have, but I'm
gonna get me like a you know, don't tell him his Mickey Mouse.
Don't get me one of those big it's called a discone antenna.
Put that on a pole outside give me a 50 watt transceiver make
sure
it's grounded properly that thing's gonna be a lightning get
nailed? Yeah, I think that's quite a blow out everything in
the house.
I think that's part of the test. And tells you what you're
supposed to do when they're when you're doing it when you it's
like always never ground with right angles in the flat wire or
something like that. Wasn't that it?
Yeah, there's all these rules about grounding.
I think I just get someone else to do it. How's that sound?
There you go. Yeah, good. Like some local hams have a ham
party.
You should get a ham you could probably do a pretty good ham
party down in Austin we get another 10 listeners look
I'm telling you we're going to do this network is going to be
here someone just connected so don't just get disconnected. I'm
telling it look go Hold on yeah whole bunch of people are not
connecting so I can't talk to him because I'm doing the show
they should know better. But that's it and then at the same
time we'll have more people getting their ham radio licenses
and then when everything goes to crap we will still have a show
we get
at least talk about it we'll
still be able to talk about exactly
really crappy year to year they burned down the Walmart they did
the Walmart they burnt that down yeah they took everything it's
not working anymore KJ six How are you doing now on the show
they burned down to Walmart
go ahead and
get some supplies
a mailing list last last in the office

directly straight out directly you get your value for value and
Thank you Nick the RAT for the album art on the previous
episode of of the no agenda show. The best podcast in the

And you know we can we can also we can also bounce off
satellites. I'm learning how Yeah, no, you can't. But you can
do that with like your handheld you can bounce off this. Yeah,
no way. Yes. Yes. Yes. Bull crap.
I'm telling you. You watch

But you'll see. I'll be doing it with my handheld. You watch.
Hey, Oh, John. fantastic news. And, once again, we had been
nominated for the Podcast Awards. Oh, you
know, people should go to the given the URL and they should go
vote for us every day. You can vote every day podcast.
awards.com Yeah, is this hopeless?
Well, the category this is because
there's no real judging. It's just popular and people voting.
I mean, then that I mean, you guys get the biggest audience
are the guys who have a bot good but somebody out there right is
a real bot, the kind that keeps changing the IP address and, and
just haven't voted us in. Now. There's
two things. First of all, I'm a little disappointed because Todd
Cochran who donate to the show and very nice guy hooked up with
him in Austin. You'll recall a couple months back he had
promised that there would be a best podcast in the universe
category and we would be the only one in it I don't see that
category this year so I feel I feel slighted because that was
how I wanted to do it. However, that wasn't gonna happen so
we're not nominated as people's choice. We are in the woods
certainly not best produced oh no who's in best produced let's
see. But yeah,
I've won what's not gonna be any better producing what we do well
apparently production done actually in a radio studio which
makes us not really a podcast come on the caustic soda and
caustic soda and dubious internet dubious and never heard
of these
so we listen to caustic soda. Yeah,
let's listen.
But she's really good here caustic soda, don't you go to
because you'll start Wow No, no,
I'm not doing anything.
They certainly have the same bandwidth as we do apparently.
All right, today's episode we'll do they have a player or
something? Is there somewhere I can play?
It's just it's just there.
Oh, here it is. Here we go. Yeah, I got it. I got it. I got
one. It's just there's so much flash on this site that it's not
man alright, so while that's loading? Yeah, great, great
podcast. Come on. We can't complain. We're not the best
loaders ourselves. We are in the I think political something
political. How come we're not in GLBT and why is that even a
category? Are we in
the auto ship? Every country in the world is again typing impact
orders and no match for a good blaster to side kid. You don't
believe that? It's toy that dog? Sir, from one side of the
internet. Oh, they
do left and right. Panning? Oh, I see. I've
never seen anything. Oh, I see why they're winning is the
largest selection of
stuff. Got one guy right and one guy left? Oh, that's okay. Well,
hold on. We need to do that. That's obviously that's what
we're not doing. Right.
I did that once with the DHA unplugged about a year ago.
Yeah, I'm doing it now. Talking about getting flack from the
audio. But
if you want to win an award, you've got to do that. So I'm
panned left now and you're panned, right.
I'm over. I'm over here on the right. Where are you at? And
where are you? I'm over here on the left once you walk to the
other side, John.
Okay. Let me walk over to your side. You walk over to my side.
Here I go.
Okay. All right. And I'm over on. Hello. I'm over on your side
now.
Hey, just stay over on my side. You moved over to the other
side. I'm over here. Let
me go. Oh, it's nice and cozy here with you on this side. Kick
me Whoa. Hey, what is that thing? Not get off? Just happy
to see me.
I got a slide rule in my pocket. All right, well, let's get back
into the real shit.
Let me just tell you what to who our competitors are. And then we
can move on. Well, I want to hear another one of these shows.
Oh, I don't want to hear another one
of these shows. We have important things to do. Where's
that category? Business? Comedy cultural arts. No, this is
crazy. I've looked. We have no Oh yeah. Politics news. Here we
go. I can tell you who's gonna win. Already know who's gonna
win the podcast. This is hell. Oh, John, we are nominated in
the same category along with the Rachel Maddow Show.
She's not a podcaster. Well,
she's nominated
daughter she should be but it's another story.
The morning stream. The majority report.
The beauty warning stream. Are you kidding me? The bugle?
The Best of the Left the slates political gab fest. No agenda.
That's us. Electric politics. And here's the one that I think
is going to win common sense with Dan Carlin. Because, you
know, Dan is kind of safe. I mean, it's because Dan Dennett
that touches on a lot of stuff we do. He's a historian. He goes
really deep but he has no crackpot. He has no crackpot. So
he's safe. So it's kind of like, you know, people be like, Man,
no agenda. Yeah. But you know, I don't want people to think I'm
an idiot. You know, that's what most people think when they hear
about us and people listened on.
They DOES HE IS HE entertaining? Is he funny?
I don't think he's funny. No, no, I don't think he I don't
think he's
not entertaining. In other words, just as dry
but that's dry. is the kind of dry Yeah, that's why dry?
I don't think so. So you do a dry podcast and that's how you
That's exactly Okay. That's good to know.
Let's write that down for our next meeting.
Yeah, the dry podcast.
I can't this isn't when I'm ticked off that we're not in
GLBT or Jay, you're nominated in general with DH unplugged.
Yeah, I don't get that one either should be under and
business
in general he just general like, oh, you know once in a while
when I'm three like listen to something general.
I'm just grasses in general
greetings from nowhere the internet box podcast the other
side of live the conversation hubs secretly timid rebellion
radio, night block podcast. I don't know man, I want to be in
GLBT or mature. How can
you Why don't you just do a GLBT show yourself? Okay,
let me see what I'd have to do bend over and take it as
nominated. cocktails and cream puffs.
This is horrible. Feast of strong lousy puns, foul monkeys.
Gay Sunday brunch. Home. Oh, ground ramble. redhead. Scream
Queens, the Queen City experience and throwing shade.
What? Yeah. Throwing Shade. I don't know what that means. So

it. Well, anyway, regardless of whether we win in news politics,
we always will be. And let us thank some don't yeah, we got
we did get a couple executive producers we do overall our
Well, that was dizzy. The show is we lost a third of our
listeners, obviously. Because of the East Coast.
Yeah, that didn't help.
And also pay pal was having issues. I had to change my DNS
really even get the Pay Pal.
Well, isn't that your DNS issue? Sorry, what if you had to change
your DNS? Isn't that an issue with your DNS and not with Pay
Pal?
Well, well, no. But if no, here's it's Comcast. If Comcast
has a DNS problem with pay, pal, a lot of our listeners have a
problem with getting the Pay Pal.
No, I understand. I understand. But that's Comcast not PayPal. I
got it.
Did I say it was? Yeah, well, I said I have problem with PayPal,
but it was because it wasn't because of PayPal. Okay.
Although somebody did send me a tweet saying it was PayPal they
have some some some propagation problem with their DNS in some
way shape or form. So maybe it is. I don't know. It's possible.
Okay. But anyway, I do want to thank a few people here want to
thank sir Dwayne Mellon song in triggered or tight guard, Oregon
5555 55 is a belated five year celebratory donation by my
accounting this should qualify qualify me for the Barony of
Oregon. Ma by the way, I am amused that your four way four,
four way what to foray into being a nanny state a couple of
months ago by telling everyone how they were listening to your
pod case. Podcast incorrectly. A very Shut up slave move from an
unexpected source Divorce Act.
or what have you say, when I say that people
should not be listening to old shows.
And that's nanny state. No, no, that's
what he says that that means? I'm like telling them how to
listen to the show. I'm a mutator.
Well, yeah, I think

a very short because of I think we've essentially lost a third.
We have a lot of listeners on the East Coast and the East
Coast is down. I don't know how many even open the email we
sent.
People also just have other things to do. Well,
generally speaking we do well in November so this is not looking
at going oh, no,
we're not gonna do it. But that's okay. I mean, this is
that look. What do you want? You want to FEMA to bail you out or
something? Divorce? Is that what do you play?
I went to FEMA, you know, I think we should apply the show.
Please. Formula is this. We go out we hit people in the mouth
come on FEMA.
Think we can we can apply? I think you're right. Yeah. When
the when it shows up on the tax form next year. I think
we can apply for some direct funding. They get so much money.
They just thrown it away.
direct funding. Well, during all of this, of course, many things
did not stop. Many, many things did not stop. Oh. It just keep
talking about well, it's gonna be a little annoying if they
keep if it keeps ringing. It's not like I don't hear it all of
a sudden. You want to pick it up. It's Susie's doing a radio
show. I'm doing and doing radio show be coming back later. What
kind of radio show sir. Was that?
I don't know. Did somebody but it was a real live person. I
expected it to be Rachel from Account Services. Together
America take the phone off the hook.
Yeah, well, we've discussed this before. You're one of the few
guys left who actually has a phone you can take off the hook.
Yeah. Well. attendings pretty good. Yeah. When you're when the
cell towers are down, and I got the only phone left. I can I can
call people. That's all right. I
got my ham. I got my 775753 note. I'll be good. No worries.
So there were some other things taking place, obviously. In and
around the world. You know, I'm still really really sick.
You're still sick in
that hat on Sunday. It's um, I'm sweating. I'm probably have the
flu. It's not like a typical flu, then. It's not like a
stomach flu or
a load of a d3. When you had a shot at it. It's too late. Now.
You hear what they were doing on the balance of Valentine's
Valentine's Day. Halloween.
Oh, yeah, there's a day they
want. I'll tell you where this was. This day. There's there's
now setting up drive thru flu shots. See, where was this?
Apparently across. Across the country. I didn't see it in
Austin. But as part of the emergency preparedness drill,
they were setting up free flu shots I heard is Connecticut,
Alabama or Connecticut probably didn't participate. Georgia,
California, Kansas, Virginia, Arizona. You could do a drive
thru and get get your flu shot. I should have participated in
that. You just stay in the car and you just
you're already sick.
Alright, there's that how's it getting
a flu shot? What are you like halfway through the flu by the
way your This lasted too long. How long you've been sick? Well,
it
started Sunday.
Oh, yeah. You should be over by the Sunday.
Yeah, it should be if not then then it's too long. Then what do
I do?
are you coughing or do you have a phlegm?
I have phlegm and a stuffy nose? But it does sound
that way that you don't sound sick. When if it was maybe my
knife. Yeah, but
that's how you are and I have my fingertips or tingly? You know
what I mean? That kind of that flu? That flu feeling again?
I don't I never had that. Okay.
All right. So what else was going on in your world?
Wow, yeah. Go by changing the subject. Yeah, well, I'm
tired of what you just telling me. I don't sound sick. I'm
sick. So it's amazing. I'm doing the show at all. Yeah, well,
what
are we gonna do about Thanksgiving by the way?
Well forget Thanksgiving this Sunday. I'm doing the show from
San Francisco. Really? Yeah. In fact, do you want to have dinner
with us tomorrow night so I can give you the phone if you're
sick. Oh, come on. I'm not contagious anymore. We will
tomorrow morning at eight we fly to San Francisco. And then we do
our every year we do this benefit for messed up kids.
Oh, yeah. Right. So we do the messed up when you find back
Sunday after the show Sunday evening. Okay. So can we do
dinner tomorrow night? Sure. That'd be great. Right? You want
to come to the hotel?
What hotel are you gonna be at? Oh, don't say you'd be there.
You'll be flooded with fans.
And flowers in my room. Oh, heaven forbid. Yeah. Yeah. Tom.
Yeah. And so it's going to be messed up on Sunday, I'm still
going to be sick and tired from that thing. And what news will
we have? We'll have nothing but the same old news.
From now. That'd be new news. As always news, new news, new news.
So yeah, not too bad was in today, because then I could
drive around and a little forecast for forecast a little
Ford Focus Electric.
That was that what you're driving though?
Well, I borrowed one to test. Right. And how is it? I like it.
Oh, police that for one thing. I mean, here's my conclusion. I've
driven the volt. I've driven the leaf I've driven the focus that
you got a couple others to look at
related. Are you writing a book about electric cars? I'm gonna
write a small monograph.
What's a monograph? That's a small thing that you can sell on
the on?
on Amazon? On the Kindle? Oh, and what's it going to be
called?
It's going to be called by electric car, should you buy a
relay?
And the answer is none.
Well, it's getting close to that. Here's the problem. If you
is a second car for driving around town, it's these cars are
great. But they are they are incredible. They're white
knuckle experiences, if you're going to take a long trip. Why
is this? Well, it's for example, the Ford Focus Electric is got a
range of they say, it's there's some they have some there's a
new standard for ranges, and it's 76 miles the older you get
the car, and you turn it on, and it's you'll say you got 83 miles
to go in, and you drive down the block 90 gets 50 miles. Go,
it has like an Android battery, where before you get goes, you
don't know what it's gonna
be electric cars do this, you drive a little this way. And it
says, well, you're gonna be out of electricity in two minutes.
And then you go, you got an hour to go. So here's, here's my, I
took a trip out to Danville just like 32 Miles
is your question. So like a laptop, right? If so if I'm on
my on my my first generation MacBook Air, and and I see it
has like three hours. But if I have the the screen up,
brightness up all the way, then you know, it'll go to two hours
really quickly. But if I turned down the brightness, it won't go
as fast. When you're driving and you have your lights on. Does
that make a difference with your battery with your with your
radius?
I haven't noticed that was using. Apparently, most of these
subsystems are run by a separate battery, so it doesn't affect
the motor. That's my understanding. So no, no. Okay.
All right now, but here's the deal. So I'm going on, but if
you had your screensaver on that would probably make a
difference. So so I'm driving to Danville and I've got the full
charge. And so it's only 30 Miles 30 Some miles. So I get
there and watch the thing dropped like a rock. And then
the worst part of the courses I take all I've never seen a full
focus, electric car on the road. I just haven't seen him. There's
just not around here. There may be back. He's I don't know where
they are. They just came out. But on the way out to Danville.
There's one by the side of the road pulled over. So I'm
thinking is dead thinking oh, great. So anyway, so that's not
a good sign. So I'm bombing down and then I get through the
tunnel. And next thing you know, I've only gotten like 10 miles.
And it shows that I've only got 40 miles left saying I chewed up
30 miles,
and so on how many more miles you have to go. Get 20 miles to
go. So you're like, what is the point of no return? You're
afraid you can't get back?
Yeah, the point of no return as far as I'm concerned. But the
problem is it fluctuates so wildly. And let me explain. So
it doesn't you there is no point of no return on these things. So
you get there. And so I get there and I get there and it
says 42 miles so it so it was right when I got there, I went
from 75 to like 40 just about right. So I said, Well, that's
interesting. So I should be able to get it home. No problem. So
then I start coming back and then all of a sudden because I
think it's so it's going up a hill or something. I'm down to
22 miles. I haven't even gotten to the funnel yet. Say 22 miles
I called I called me up I say yeah, I'm driving this car is
only 22 miles. I'm hitting to call the cartels. Here's why you
should be able to limp home. No problem.
No, this is it's you can't ride on you can't coast on fumes
Mimi.
So I'm going through the tunnel and now it's downhill. So I'm
not. I go about another seven eight miles. Now I've got 62
miles on
this whole thing is bogus. This is stupid. This is I decided
to stop at a burrito place and when I get out of the car, cool
down.
Wait a minute. Wait. I just just want to picture this for a
second. Here comes this old geezer in a battery car. I'm
looking for a burrito baby hand me one that's hot and spicy.
So I get back the car's got. So in other words, the car's got 64
miles on it now it says, so I took the trip all the way down
there when it started with 75 miles, I only got nine miles
according to this gauge. So, you know, this is this is not good.
It's not a good experience. And by the way,
the other cars, the leaf, the volt, they all do this, I think
they all use the same software to gauge battery life and it's
totally sucks.
I don't think there's any and I've never seen a battery gauge
really gauge it perfectly. I mean, not on a Mac, and
certainly not on a Windows machine. Not on an iPhone or an
Android. I don't think that I don't think that technology B
will be well the thing is, if it's if it's constant, if you
have a constant load, then you can measure and you can say
okay, it'll be this amount of hours but here
here's a listen to me. Yes, sir. You got the mapping software, no
altitudes, you know when you're going uphill and downhill you
know the habits of the driver. All this can be computerized,
you should be able to get the battery down to within an hour.
You're going up a hill, you're going down and he'll this can
all be calculated in this is like the Windows machines
stay up say no more. John, you have just hit upon we have to
patent this. This what a great idea you have here. I mentioned
no one has come up with this. And the curry divorce UK patent
group are going to patent this idea of having the absolute
accurate battery measuring system for electric cars. And
we'll sell 5000 units, just like
all the collector's cards.
I bet you we can get a sweet, little, little package of money
though from from the God.
Well, now you're talking right, right reminded of what I was
going to say as I'm reminded of when you try to, you know,
you're going to transfer a hard disk over to another hard disk.
And it says files, three hours and 45 minutes left. And then it
says three hours in 30 minutes, right? All of a sudden, and down
to two to 42 hour one hour. 1540 minutes job. Boom, boom, boom,
boom,
this is all a part of our patented drain technology.
Because no one has gotten this right you are so how about
downloading? How about just download like our podcast? I've
been downloading your pocket. For some people, it says eight
hours. And for some people actually takes eight hours. But
for others it goes No It says eight hours and it's flipped and
it goes in 10 seconds.
This is this is this is bad. We have these computers with these
are all computers we're dealing with this should be able to deal
with these kinds of
Do you understand what I'm saying that we have? We have an
opportunity here to
create the we need to make this a product. We
will productize it but first thing we patented. I think we
start writing the patent right after the show. Because that's
easy. I bet you no one has this. I'm gonna I'm gonna
apparently from the looks of it. Nobody does have it. Right. All
right.
Well, so this would be good. This would be very interesting
to see your what do you call it? What's it called? A Hamlet. A
giblet
a focus?
No, no, your book The giblet
a monogram? Yeah, that's
monogram. I think giblet sounds better than monogram. monogram.
i Your monogram was gonna sell 299 on led the Kindle.
Apparently that's the sweet spot. Okay,
nice. Well, great. You want to you know, can we do a spoiler
here? Just so no one has to buy it and just say, you know, which
one is the best for you not ready,
I still have two cars to look at. Okay.
Anyway, let's go to Euro land for a second. I was quite
delighted this morning. Well, not delighted, of course, you
know, the Dutch government of the lowlands uh, you know, that
I speak of some of that language over there. And you know,
they're putting together a new government so they had the
elections and they had to put together a coalition and it
looks like more of the same all over again, deja vu again. And
they put out the budget and basically the number the great
healthcare system the Netherlands has that fantastic
system that everyone held up as, you know, it's like great and
fantastic and it's a beacon of light and example for all
healthcare systems. I
think all the people that held that up are dead now. Yeah.
So the way it works if you make between when we put it this way,
there people are gonna have to pay more, substantially more and
they're taking away all the basically it's austerity is now
hit the Netherlands. And the Dutch are literally like, hey,
wait a minute. While I was watching TV man, what happened
all of a sudden, and their VAT went from 19 to 21%. Which is
not a 2% jump. I love it when people say Well, it's only 2%
No, no. That is was it like 10%? To 10%? Increase? Yeah, so a 10%
jump, yes, a 10% increase,
but the way it was 20 cents, and now it's 22 cents has been
raised 10% Not 2%. Right.
But it was like, oh, it's only 2%. Man, I don't know, it's a
10% increase across the board. VAT is everything, everything.
You know, it's on everything that you buy, there's VAT all
the way down the line. So, but they are now the Dutch people
are like, whoa, hold on a second. So I I'm making more
monies. And I then have to pay more taxes for this other guy
who's not even working. So now they're waking up. And it's,
it's funny to see. It's just funny, because, you know, if
they'd only listen to the best podcast in the universe, they
would have known they were
on the wrong to late now. Yeah. And then
in Greece, we've had I know, we've been talking about the
guards list. Now, this is the list of over 2000 names of
politicians, people in media, different types of people who
will receive kickbacks for particularly the politicians and
the media, from big contracts, for example, from Siemens, who
came in with billions and billions of euros to build
trains that no one really needed. And so, you know, this
list has been and this list is of one bank, which shows 2000
bank accounts, I think it's the HSBC and shows up to 2 billion
euros in kickbacks and who has what. And so this list has been
bandied about. We've talked about it several times here on
the show. And one journalist finally decided to put it in his
newspaper to print list. Guess what? They arrested him.
Why? Why? Because paper did he printed in
the in like a small newspaper and and what country in Greece,
in Greece, but it's not, but it's not the it's not the
publisher. This is what's so funny about it. This is why it's
the he's, he's the editor of hot doc, which I guess is a
translation. And here is a BBC interview with this journalist,
Vox savannahs, who was talking about being arrested and now
being tried, and he can possibly be thrown in jail for at least
two years for invasion of privacy.
Because I'm a journalist, and it's our job, to tell the truth
to the people. The three last governments have lied, and have
made a mockery of the Greek people with this list. They were
obliged to pass it to Parliament, or to the justice
system. They didn't do it, and they should be imprisoned for
it. But instead, they think I should be the one in prison.
But this was a breach of privacy, surely by publishing
personal banking details. I mean, how would you feel if your
bank account details were published by another newspaper?
Nicely, one BBC douche,
then the government?
Is not personalization,
give a call out now I should finish?
Who has how much money in which account? All we did was to
publish the names and the connection to the bank. That is
public knowledge. Nobody goes to their bank in this case,
did you know you will be arrested when you publish this
list? It breathable,
no. But from the
analysis, I imagine there will be a big reaction, especially
from those on the list, even if we didn't say whether they were
doing anything illegal. But I didn't expect that the
government would react so fast, and in such a vengeful way, by
sending 20 Special Forces to arrest one journalist to send
him to prison.
This is this is just a this is a preview of things to come for
us, John. Here's the I've seen the list. We could have
published the list on our website. I mean, we should have
done that. And he got 20. It was that big of a deal, I
guess it was when he Special Forces
is great.
Why do you think the Greek government did not follow this
up for the last two years, I thought.
This is explained by the list itself, which includes
businessman and friends of ministers as well as powerful
publishers. The whole political system is in this list. The
government threw it in the toilet is not just ridiculous.
It's like a cartoon. It offends our intellect. In the meanwhile,
there are people looking in rubbish bins to find something
to eat. They knew there was a list with over 2000 names from
only one bank. Imagine what could be the case with other
banks. It includes people who evade taxes, but they'll never
be caught for it.
So if you think that this is a unique degree, taken,
yeah. Forbes publishes this list of Americans every year.
Well, yeah, but yeah, this is a that's a different type of list.
This is So they didn't even publish who had how much but he
published the list of which businessmen, politicians and
people in media, we're all complicit in stealing the money,
which happens here, too. You know, it's just the club that
you're not in as the great George Carlin would say, No, he
didn't. He just pulled it out. They had the they have an
account with the HSBC, I think, was HSBC, a Swiss bank account
where all this money is stored. This is regards list. They
arrested him. Yeah, that's how it's gonna go.
Yes, way it works.
That's just what it is. Yeah, exactly. I had a
interesting interview yesterday. But you know, for the big book
show. And I've started editing this big book show.com zone, you
can find this. Have you ever heard of Brian Evanson? Not
offhand. Okay. So Brian Evanson is he's apparently he's quite
famous. He's won. Like 20 literary awards. He runs the
What are you doing? What's happening? John? Are you okay?
What what happened? thing was like a big racket all of a
sudden, like, like, like there was water flowing in your house.
I don't know what that was. Okay. So he runs the the
literary arts program at Brown University. And he's just
published like, it's horror, he writes really crazy screwed up
horror. I can't believe this is exactly the kind of elitist
literature that you would know. That's why I'm amazed. You don't
know. No, I don't I don't read horror. Well, it's not really,
I read The New York Times.
That's more, that's comedy.
Anyway, so he has a new a new book out a bundle of short
stories. And, you know, so I read it. And then I interviewed
him and as a part of my research into the guy, you know, so when
I interview an author, I read his book, which seems to be
quite special. I'm going to have you on with your electronic card
book, and I'll read the book too. And then I read up on on
his background, and he was a major player in the Mormon
church. So he was LDS. And I'm like, what a fantastic
opportunity to ask this guy about Romney. Right.
I would say yesterday that
you weren't even listening. What were you doing?
I was writing some notes in the Red Book.
Okay. So I asked him what he thought about Romney, and I'd
like to play that for you. So we can get a little insight direct
from one of the leaders of the churches in the church. Oh, he's
been excommunicated. He was. Oh, no, no, no, no, they hate him.
They hate him. He's not welcome in the in Utah anymore. They all
state I think he's not allowed back then. Particularly because
of you know, he wrote a book about pedophilia, which was it
was a novel, but it was it was very clear that he was implying
this was the Mormon church. You get you get one last second.
What's the name of this book? This guy is famous man. I can't.
Brian. Evan, what does it
have? Because a lot of famous people out there. Yeah.
But you know, come on. You should know this guy.
Famous. Brian. I know is Brian Wilson.
From the Beach Boys. Yeah. Let me see what his it was a big
controversy. He's
also Brian Sabian. In New York Giants. Are San Francisco
Giants. I'm sorry. Jason won
the creative writers fellowship from the National Endowment for
the Arts, the Oh, Henry award. I mean, this is what the surely
let's just play the clip. I don't care about this guy's
background. I want
to tell you the name of the book about about pedophilia in the
Mormon church. Anyway, here it is. But maybe you would be the
right guy to ask about you, if you if you want to about your
feeling about Mitt Romney.
You know, I have Mitt Romney is very strange for me as someone
who's a former Mormon, because I see all the aspects of the way
in which he delivers speeches, the way in which he talks the
kinds of attitudes he has. There's so they remind me so
much of Mormon church leaders and Mormon General Authorities
that it's just shocking to me. And so I have a very hard
listening even to that to hard time listening even to his
cadence and not thinking that I'm in church. Wow. I'm so I
find it very intense. I am not pro Romney. I'm very much of a
pro Obama guy. And I think Romney is very, that he
represents for me a lot of what I see is the worst aspects of
business Mormonism.
What amazes me is that there's been so little discussion at all
about Romney's Mormonism that that is just I don't understand
why that is. That must be fear, or there's something going on
with the media that
Yeah, well I think it's I don't know if it's fear if it's just
that it seems like a side issue to people. I can't tell for
sure. But it is strange to me that that hasn't been discussion
at all. And, you know, I Yeah. Same with Ann Romney when she
gave her talk at the Republican National Convention. I felt like
I was in a Georgia Mormon General Conference Session. It's
just the way yeah, the way she phrased it by saying, I'm going
to talk about love, the whole pattern was just exactly like a
talk. Right. So.
So I think that was pretty interesting. That he says, the
cadence and the order of the way they talk about things is
exactly the way a session goes at the Mormon church.
Tell Bill Clinton used to talk like, like a preacher, rather
than usual.
Yeah, but we haven't we don't really have. We have
Obama talks. I got free. Yes,
sure. But these are different types of preachers. We don't
have a lot of video of Mormon preachers. These just don't
exist. As far as I know. I mean, this whole more this is this.
The more I'm
cranky, there's a there's a channel called BYU on the Dish
Network, which has tons of this really, and they have the guys
preaching. It's not that hard to come by.
Inside the Mormon church.
They're there all over the place. I mean, it's hard to for
me to watch because it's just a bunch of proselytizing. But
yeah, go watch it. BYU. It's got all kinds of lot of these
speakers with the same kind of cadence as you guys talking
about. I don't know. It doesn't bother me. I don't care. I'm not
voting for him.
No, I know. But, you know, there was a I think there was a moment
there before the the weather modification, a path change of
Hurricane Sandy, that, you know, Romney might have one and I
think that probably would have been really, really bad. I'm not
thinking this guy is really evil and insane. No fun. No worse
than Obama. Now he's evil and insane. Yeah. And about the
same. About the same with the kill list and everything. And
the love of drones. Yeah, but I don't know. I mean, but at least
that's an evil. I know. Yeah, we know. Just you know, if you hear
it buzzing overhead, you know, take shelter. But you know, you
don't know what this Mormon church is. And we have Mormons
listening. And I
can't get worked up about it now. Okay. All right. I don't
know. I don't see Romney being any worse or any better. I don't
see any of this helping at all. And I'm, I'll say it. Again, I'm
voting for Gary Johnson and I don't care what anyone thinks.
That's fine. I'm voting for wasted vote wasted vote
tomorrow. It's no way it's a wasted vote to vote for those
two guys. Yeah,
I'm voting for Roseanne Barr. Yeah, no, you're that's not a
wasted vote though.
No, no. Roseanne might be wasted but the vote won't be. Exactly
All right. What else? Well
I don't know I'm spacing because I got a Methodist just sick and
I think of a fever. What do you make of this? This Bronco Bama
Bronco Bama girl that's been that everyone's playing now.
I don't know anything about this. You don't know about
this little girl Abby.
No telling me.
I was like a four year old girl and it's a YouTube video. And
everyone's playing it and she's crying in this video. And their
mom says what's the matter Abby? And here's what she says
that's why you're crying. It'll be over soon, Abby. Okay. The
election will be over soon. Okay.
Everyone is playing this clip. And and Miki saw the clip and
she's like, me, this is she got really angry. She's like, you
know, this is because these stupid parents you know, they're
like, exposing their kids to all this bull crap. And she was
like, when total crackpot, gosh, she went way off. He's like, No,
the poor children. Somebody Think of the children, please.
And I don't know. I mean, I'm not quite sure how, why this is
why this is happened. Why everyone's playing it. I'm not
sure what's going on with Well, I
ever saw it. I saw the one where they had the old farts in the in
the old folks home cussing and saying they didn't want Romney
in because he's going to stop and take their money or
something. I forgot it was just done by moveon.org It was really
highly offensive. No, okay.
No, I haven't seen any of that. I haven't seen that. Let's see
what we have. We have a new word for denialism. Oh, yeah, reverse
tribalism.
Oh, please. That's not going to catch.
No, it's I didn't think it was good. it either but that's what
the New York Times is trying to push out there. So you know if
you're in the if you believe in climate change which as you know
I do I'm now a believer in climate change those who are
against it are susceptible to a presumed to be known as a
disease reverse tribalism and the trying it
yeah
so there was some interesting propaganda coming out of
Hollywood just to get make sure viewers you know, if they can't
get they're gonna get Obama and no matter what. And I thought
this was just overt. But they brought up that this was a very
thing. This is the kind of thing that I thought was a good piece
of propaganda, because it brought it made you sympathetic
toward blacks and an injustice and it's at the end of the day,
you would you would think I'm gonna vote for Obama. And it's
is the Medal of Honor for blacks segment from the NCR from NCIS,
one of the top show on CBS.
Okay, I heard the old guy was trying to pawn his Medal of
Honor.
What I do not understand is why President Clinton has given him
the medal. I mean, it was more than 40 years after World War
Two is over.
But one did the same thing. I found out that because of
discrimination, no African American was awarded the Medal
of Honor until Congress passed legislation in 1996. To correct
the injustice. seven men were recommended to receive the
award. Only two were still alive. And one of them's Mr.
Moore.
And this was a recent episode. Yeah, this is this week. Yeah,
it doesn't surprise me
too, as they're slipping in at the end actually, what the story
is they they they had not this there's a study in 93
investigated racial discrimination in the awarding
of metals. I'm reading this from the Wikipedia at the time no
Medals of Honor have been awarded to black soldiers served
in World War Two after an exhaustive review of files study
recommend at several black Distinguished Service Cross
recipients so it wasn't that they weren't getting anything be
upgraded to Medal of Honor. Oh, okay. And that's
well yeah, we're a bunch of racist pricks that's what that's
where we are in America.
Actually, I'm surprised to give anybody an award like cost money
especially assault American soldiers. I mean when when when
Roosevelt got in they were they have these soldiers these I
forgot the name of this protest that was going on in the White
House so it was actually the whole most of Washington DC all
the soldiers that were never paid for their for their work
and they all lined up outside right and they had
ended up shooting them
Hey, get out of our way you stupid soldiers. That's why we
love the drones man because you know we won't have the stupid
stupid personnel to deal with anymore
yeah, well to shoot them after it after because we didn't pay
up here and we screwed him somehow the Veterans
Administration and it's just unbelieving this never ends so
they're not even there was still you know, all you know, they
nobody complains which is
fine. The drones little known fact are, you know, they're
they're civilians. You see, they're not really enlisted men
and women.
So yeah, that's,
that's the little dirty, the little dirty secret.
So, what's going on with Kosovo?
Yeah, I saw Lucifer was hanging out.
For I have I have a clip. Hillary and the idiot. Yeah.
Okay, your clip is better a better title than mine. Okay.
Should we play it? No, you want to set it up?
Yeah, play it and we can discuss it. Maybe there's more stuff on
your clip. But you know, the idiot is right. Well, yeah.
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton says Kosovo has
unilaterally declared independence is not up for
discussion. Clinton and EU foreign policy chief Catherine
Ashton are on a three nation tour of the Balkans to help
secure peace in the region, a power struggle between ethnic
Serb Muslim and quiet parties. As held back progresses the war
ended in 1995.
The United States is firmly committed to Kosovo sovereignty
and territorial integrity and to seeing the rule of law extend
throughout Kosovo. We oppose any discussion of territorial
changes, or reopening Kosovo's independence status? These
matters are not up for discussion.
A common theme has been our view of the importance of seeing the
country three visited being part of the European Union. And to
the people of Kosovo, I say the same thing. Your future lies
with the European Union, and we are eager to see you realize
that ambition. So
of course is Ashton.
By the way. If you play Ashton, you've actually transcribed what
she said. She is a blithering idiot. She doesn't even make any
sense the sentence structure she'd cut it's horrible. It's
like a non sequitur. I don't even know what she said. Well,
Just to like, you know, you should like Europe? I don't
know. Yeah. Well, by the way, she looks like a moron. Well,
so she is the product of inbreeding. She is one of the
highest elites in Europe. That's why she's, she's like a
placeholder. You could put a napkin there a damp rag, and
this make its mouth move a little bit. And that would be
enough. You know, she is Baron Baron S. Van Vaughn Ashton. So
she is truly an elite. And you know, this is what they do is
they put the elites in, in all these, all these little, little
spots where they're where they're good and necessary. And,
you know, just look at her. She's the product of inbreeding,
if you look to her face, and her chin is chopped off, it's like,
no one is higher than the other guy. The distance between your
eyes are wrong
is a mongrel that's not a horrible looking.
Wow. And where to find specimens to talk, obviously,
we're not in the least we're not up there. If I was up there,
standing next to Hillary yakking away, I would expect people to
be critical of me,
you gotta forget at least the facelift or something.
I need signage I need to I need a neck job. So I think what's
going
on here is this is about the border. And of course, the
Clintons. They ran this whole operation this whole Kosovo with
the you know, the bombing. And I mean, I'm, it's so long ago, and
there's, you know, there's so many things so much water under
the bridge. And we have a lot of people who listen to the show in
this region who will set us straight. But to me, this is
about the border and control of oil and pipelines. That's pretty
much what I've the research that I get out of it. And they can't
have any change. Because you know, now we have, you know, it
has to do with NATO, and who's going to be a part of the EU.
That's why Ashton is there. It's all about control of pipelines
and oil. Do you see it any different, John?
No, it's probably what it is. What else could it be? Well,
it's
not just for a picnic. These two there's always Hillary and
Ashton. If you notice now we know Hillary is gonna be the oil
connection. And Ashton is the EU connection.
Because the only thing I can think of all I know is that when
it says not open for discussion. Yeah, it's pretty firm. Yeah,
that means something that to me says something's up there. That
means
you want to drone No, then shut up, slave. That's what you need
to do.
That big fire they
had in Jersey? No, it wasn't jersey was Queens. Queens. Yeah.
You had a big fire to get 100 homes or so. Yeah, it was an
area called Breezy Point. Anybody find any irony in that?
Breezy Point is a big wind and breezy pointed towards the
Munchausen. Nether. Why live in a place like that?
Thank you, Piers. Now want to go to a neighborhood that's been
devastated by Sandy a tiny community in Queens, New York
called Breezy Point where as many as 100 homes were burned to
the ground. Deborah ferric. Is there for us tonight. Deb is
pretty awful situation down there. It's just been raised
almost to the ground. I think pictures earlier. They were
saying at homes, but I believe it's near 100. Is that right?
Yeah.
You know what? They finished that report, by the way with
what do you think caused a downed power line which rarely
starts fires by the way? That especially in the rain, downed
power line, or was it a exploding transformer which
seems to be a theme even though none of them really exploded?
Except that one, which wasn't a transformer?
No, it was a gas fired. Electric electric plant. Yeah.
And so but the one thing they never answered the question,
which is the power was down. Some idiot. I noticed how the
fire started candles, candles and kerosene lamps. Yeah,
because people light a bunch of candles. They're all over the
house. I don't want to be a sexist. Okay, but women love
lighting candles, and they put them all over the house like
you're in a Catholic church. And they're all over the place and
they're so dark. Somebody bumps a table. The candles go down,
catches the curtains on fire. The house goes up in flames.
Breezy Point when takes over and blows the fire from house to
house. The whole place goes up. I think it's like what's her
name is cow in Chicago.
What's her name is cow.
I forgot there's a cow that started the fire the
Great Chicago Fire with farting into the Gaslamp. Well, well,
right. That's what happened. Yeah, so the first thing I'd say
is, that's probably the last time Mimi's gonna make a
romantic night for you too.
That's pretty much romantic. They have a bunch of stinky
candles. No offense, ladies. Oh, wow. Oh, yeah, no, you're still
doing that. Oh, Maciel says she'll get mad at me if I agree
with John on this one. So I better just argue with him. I'm
not arguing I have from the like the romantic thing with the
candles around the bathtub. And the oils and everything I like.
Candles around the bathtub is the worst. This is by the way, a
ceremony that Wiccans like to do so there'll be candles around
the bathtub, then you're going to be stabbed in the tub. And
the blood is going to be allowed to accumulate and then they like
to add their candles and then they all make some stuff.
They'll go all the girls get together with your dead body in
the middle, or you you'll see, but you
won't see me calling my wife a witch is
just saying I don't trust all these candles in the bath around
the bath. Okay, so Wiccan ceremony, I'm telling you, Ron.
Okay, okay.
All right. When I heard about this fire, I know when I
actually thought I thought that, you know, of course, you know,
Breezy Point is why everything got torched. But, you know, I
see this happen all the time. And I've been highly suspect of
this in the Netherlands for many, many, many, many years.
That you know, if, if a if a business is about to go under,
and is you know, like the books it's all messed up and you're
gonna go bankrupt. What is the best thing you can do? Towards
the place?
Exactly. And gee, golly, we've never heard of such a thing in
the New York metropolitan Jersey area right so if
so if a queen if you're flooding and whatever it is, there's a
million different reasons.
I could send myself flood insurance generally. Exactly. I
can see my horse to play a torch it this torch. Smart Money.
Yeah, speaking of which,
I'm gonna show my school by donating to no agenda. Imagine
all the people who could do that. Oh, yeah, that'd be fun.
Wiccans you are so in trouble tomorrow night when we're in San
Francisco
the way the segue of the Year
from Wiccans to donation is that what you're
speaking of money, okay, we don't have a lot of donors but
we do have a few and want to thank them all Andrew Holcomb in

JQ in Chicago, Illinois. $100. Greetings from Gitmo windy city
sent you 100 bucks. That was the half of the money which I split
with my brother from scalping Adams unused ACL ticket
call. Yeah. So they said they set us up JQ. This was the
weekend where did taxes and clean out the garage. And it was
also it was raining and that was the big Austin City. Austin City
Limits which is a big music festival.
And as a TV show, isn't it?
A long time ago, but ACL is it's the big weekend where we have
and it's it's really, really big and he had backstage passes for
us. But you know, by the time I was done with the taxes, and by
the time I was done with cleaning out the garage, and
then it was raining, I was wiped I'm like, Ah man. So anyway, so
the scalped and that's cool. Good night
Anyway, however I get the opportunity to punch lots of
fools in the mouth and we'll continue to do so. In fact, I
got punched in the mouth about a year ago by Dave Fiorino. Who to
my knowledge hasn't donated No, call him out as a douchebag.
Thank you both for the best podcast in the universe. I

your recent call sign Adam. I'm sending a gift each of you call
the tiger tail is simply a link to wire place across your
antenna mounts where your HT to increase your range. I've had a
bit of no agenda listener for a while and I've noticed the
history of amateur radio all begins with John. He noted on a
twit episode he had just got his technician license Leo seemed
fascinated. And within a few months he got his technician
license this leads to ham nation and the free donated Icom
station which couldn't be used due to bad local interference
and antenna issues. Which by the way should be
well read who got the who got a donated Icom station. Leo Oh
yeah, but he doesn't use it.
Well, he blames it on local interference. Now you have your
license kudos to John for inspiring who knows how many
others to get their amateur radio license or reengaged in
the hobby and simple karma if you wish for Adam, for you for
Adam says For Adam in my professional life. I'm an up to

thought it would be going well, I
think I think we're at the point now we're making mocking it so
much it's gonna take a while we should probably just shop to
shut up. We should just be quiet or separate the jingle we have
to keep the jingle Yeah, I got the jingle jingles good. William
T Chrisman the fourth. In Baxter Kentucky. 6969 ITM from get bone

of the best podcast in the universe news from the cancer
front The battle rages on against my Amy mom stage four
lung and bone. reinforcements are needed as the last half of
cancer karma didn't work it's back with a vengeance. I hope
this was enough amount didn't negate the shot. Another please
Adam, ditch the rover and get a VW TDI you'll love it. Thanks
for being a beacon in The Dark Knight says to us Can I tell you
about karma?
Yeah, can I tell you the latest? Well give me the karma. First, I
gotta tell you about this stupid English piece of crap cards is
really bad.
You've got F cancer.
All right. So this is this is so disappointing. So we drive I
drive home the other night. We're in the garage, which is
only one car fits in it and I get out and Mickey can't get out
and like get out. This is how I talk to her get out. I got
candles upstairs. And she can't open the door and the end is
unlocked. Turns out this stupid stupid British POS has. It has
like some independent of the locking mechanism that has a
little motor that locks the door in each individual door. And
this motor is now broken. And and because it's broken with the
door locks. The only way to replace it. Yeah. It's a $250
item this this electric motor is you have to break the inside of
the door. Have a look because it's you can't just like unscrew
it, you have to break it. And then you can replace the motor
or at least unlock it then you can replace the motor so I have
to get a motor and I have to find a new interior for the
right hand door of a 99 Range Rover
Hold on a second I don't know what kind of engineers we're
talking about here but you're telling me that there's no way
using one of those devices like the cops use or anything else
that you can force Oh, you can unlock the door? No,
so the locking mechanism opens, but you can't on the actual
because it's not just a mechanical thing. The locking
mechanism then hits a switch which hits the lock engine it's
the stupidest car in the universe. And I hate it I hate
it I hate it ahead I've bought two Range Rovers
he hated it so much. Like you hated it so much you bought two
on it the most the most
and I'm like yeah and the thing is now worth and yeah maybe
$2,000 You know maybe I should just like bring it to the
whatever and you just get rid of it. I don't think I don't think
they'll care if the door opens or not they're just gonna rip it
apart for parts aren't they?
Why don't you leave it parked? Yeah in a bad part of town Yeah.
For a couple of days yeah. And then go back yeah, go back and
see if it's on blocks and then call the police and yeah and
then what and then call the insurance company said that they
somebody somehow screwed I don't know what you Yeah,
what do you think of what kind of insurance you think I have on
this thing all risk.
You don't have lock insurance.
They're gonna look at and go okay, here's 50 bucks for your
trouble. No, no, no, no, no.
It's what you're telling me just doesn't make any sense. Oh,
yeah. Well, you know, we called around to a couple of the guys
here in Texas. They won't even take a Range Rover. And one guy
said here's what he said he says oh no man I do I don't do Range
Rovers I let one in they'll all come in. Oh my what? I don't
want them all coming in here. It's not
the last one. And they'll all come exactly
what he said. I'm like wow, okay. You don't see him? You
don't see him driving around much. I'll tell you they should
be driving around the block I guess looking for places to come
in. You don't see him because obviously there's nobody going
to work on him so they don't live there. Well,
ya know people don't like him and they're they gotta get
yourself I don't know what they know. But now the thing is do I
there's a lot of Lexuses in Texas if anyone
has a 99 Range Rover tan interior for the right hand door
then you know then I can
better have had black looks so much better on the inside? Yeah,
on one side be black. No,
we just mix it up.
Meanwhile, the Mustang Sally
I think I think that's a design flaw with a design flaw
what happens if that breaks and you have to and you're in the
water and then your electric window doesn't work? You're
dead? You're just dead dead? Of course it's a design flaw there
should be wait one of those little weird hammers that have
their little pointy thing that you can bust open glassware.
Good
point. Anyway, so you know it's like we can't Mickey likes to
drive all the time. So you know what I'm gonna sit in the back
actually this kind of Yeah, yeah. What am I put some candles
at the bath and driving around? Sorry, yeah, sorry
for it gone. Marie in Calgary, Alberta, where the money is
Edmonton. We're more money as though 6969 In the morning not a
first time Boehner here for Halloween this year. I decided
to go as a no agenda listener conspiracy theories. Were in my
no agenda branded Big Brother's watching new T shirt and a
tinfoil hat. Oh, nice. I have to say that the costume was a
mediocre success with the other slaves at the party. But what
can you expect when you're hanging out with a bunch of
sheeple? Here's to another five years not to mix metaphors in
there. Yeah, but we'd like it. Thank you Teagan Curtis Gibson
in London, Ontario, Canada. 6969 Hey, Adam and John keeping it
alive. I'd like to call out my douchebag coworker Craig. For
hitting me in the mouth but not donating. I'm hoping some job
calm for some job. karmas I'm writing a certification soon for
your information. I've never heard of Saskatoon being the
Paris of Canada. And tell John I do know it's pronounced
Gravenhurst not Gravenhurst All right.

Yeah. Okay, while back via rar.com Be you will AR AR which
I suppose is the Watertown, Wisconsin 6969. What has been a
while back as are some karma for some friends trying to save it
to have a child and the karma work now I heard that your
friend, the friend has started to listen to the show and may
donate to help their friends and I figured I needed to step up
and donate with a proactive D douching. Defense. I hereby
claim this as the official pre D douching maneuver. The pre
douching maneuver actually says let's say hey, how free is miss
you so much and no one cares you pre cancer. Cancer is that a
good thing as it would be the state before cancer? Just
saying? I'm asking for some Swasey enough karma to sell my
house thanks for making the five and a half hour commute a boy a
bit more bearable. Can they get a no conflict yay karma shot,
but I'm called out as a douchebag than a de douchey
would also be appreciate he wasn't called out
okay, so you want to know comfort yay karma shot. No real
conference.
You've got karma.
By the way, you know the Swaziland offers a very
particular kind of karma I mean, I don't want to interfere with
your karma whatever you want to do, but this was enough is
getting laid Carmen if you want you know selling house karma,
that's a different deal. But
Brendan Sherburn Dubuque Iowa, who's apparently friends does
not call him out as a douchebag. He's buying sweet sweet karma
for his friends the first for friends trying to add to the
human resource to their family and a second for a buyer by AR
AR to help him sell his
old house. That's a nice way to go.
Now I think he's, he deserves an apology from by ar ar.com.
Yeah, really, for douche bagging him?
Yeah, essentially douche bag and even though he didn't but
anyway, go on store. Right. Here's
the car produced. Yeah. Well, you've got
karma. That is very
kind. Okay, and finally really am darkened. I don't have a
comment from him from Greenville, South Carolina. And
that will end our segment.
Looks like my evil ploy worked here.
Patrick cating Yeah, great. Thanks. Sam. Cisco 5556. Adam
said no more 5555 So here's an extra penny. Can I get a one hot
milk baby karma for my beautiful wife and our human resource to
be who was due at the end of November. Love the show?
Absolutely. We can get that for you. That's one hot belt, baby.
You've got

And instead of dozens of 5555 We got one from Ryan Buyten Heimer
Uh, no. Didn't understand the with the point where I said we
were refusing 55 He was gonna be sending
that back. No, Timothy Lazaretto because it would hurt his
feelings. Tampa, Florida 5554 In the morning, do you from Tampa
choose nuts? Florida
this is a great one. So he's he's irritating me by doing a
TOS nuts. But then turns around and irritates you by asking for
Atlas Shrugged jingle. Sre by Iran Greg Bruchsal. Sir Greg to
you in Kenosha, Wisconsin. 50 and Keith Van Dyck in mundo para
someplace South Africa is the words that listen to a spread
out the spreadsheet who Muno Paris what it says $50 And that
would conclude our donation segment for today's show. 457 we
got 458 Coming up on Sunday. We hope we get some people to join
me in well, yeah, donate contribute to wherever anything
advertising, whatever you want to call it.
Now. We totally lost. Totally lost out. I shouldn't have said
that about the 5555
Yeah, no, we probably lost dollar. Yeah. Yeah, lots of
money. We gotta make good support gone.
We got to make good Denzel tax and I was recently called out by
Simon and Alicia for not donating which was the kick up
the butt I needed. Please. Do shimmy within in the morning
karma. I'd like to do we want to do this one.
Soul tag? I don't see him. No, I

contribute 5555 of the 256 towards Simon's knighthood for

awesome work over the past five years in the morning from Denzel
tech and we have no birthdays no nice things. No nothing we're
what's
it's a dead show pletely dead thank you for nothing
sandy.org/and
A
really?
Thanks for nothing. We gotta get some FEMA money. We really do.
Yeah,
we gotta get a killing us these storms. Yeah, well,
it's I have a feeling that this is not going to let up. We're
going to be hearing a lot more. We're gonna see fistfights
breaking out there'll be all kinds of stuff this is this is
not over. This is not over. It'll take us all the way up
through the election I'm sure. And that's and then of course
all we'll be talking about is who people can get out to vote
oh there's no electricity to vote Oh, there's no this there's
no that's all it's gonna be and meanwhile you know, other stuff
is happening. You know, stuff is happening
now, but we're getting some really funny. Here's the
Allstate Insurance commercial, which is just like a hedge
shaker during his right after this storm making everyone feel
good. Like they're gonna get paid off instantly on second
whereas it is not called Allstate. It's called ludicrous.
Allstate commercial. Oh, yes,
that would be the one.
It only took two minutes for this town to be destroyed. to a
little girl who lived through it. This is more than a teddy
bear. It's a step towards normal. It's why all state
catastrophe teams not only have hot coffee and help for
grownups, they've also handed out more than 12,000 teddy bears
to kids. People come first. Everything else is second.
That's all states. Damn. Are you in good hands?
Wow. Oh, crap. Wow. Mass hardcore. Yeah. 12,000. Teddy
Bears huge jumps. Oh,
my goodness, that they threw that together. They had that
ready, or because that's the famous actor.
Yeah, no, but no, but he is the Allstate spokesman. Right? No, I
know.
I know. So they had done this. Just waiting for it.
Yeah, well, you know, this is like, you know, all the
newspapers and TV stations have everybody's obit written in
advance.
Right. So they also have one for the next like riot or the next
earthquake in LA. All State did you did you did you lose your
home in a big crevice in the earth when it opened up? We'll
all state is here. We've got blankets and water with Teddy
Bears. Wow. Wow. Next time you fool. Wow. All right. Let me
play these these clips from this Washington Post. I'm not quite
sure how this works. Why does a newspaper put together a Cyber
Conference about cyber warfare? Why why is this a Washington
Post symposium.
They think they can make some money. But they're actually you,
here's what sometimes happens. You got a big advertiser, and
the advertisers got more money than they can spend or they can
spend it more wisely on a targeted marketing promotion
than they can in the newspaper itself. Probably some defense
department Brock well, and as you know, if you guys put on a
conference about this, we could we could finance the whole
thing, but you guys had to we can't do the conference. You
have to do it. And so okay, we can do that. Yeah,
it's basically like a part of a package. So though, yeah, this
is like
the those advertorials that all these places have to succumb to
right because you know, but it was very targeted. And they, you
know, they use their leverage of the newspaper to give it
credibility.
But then why why would Janet Napolitano show up to one of
these?
Why wouldn't she? She's in Washington DC it's a short ride
is free food for her.
Okay, well, I mean, it's in the middle of the hurricane
well, and hurricane didn't hit Washington DC.
But here's the lead in to this thing I just thought was
interesting. To listen to how this was being positioned by
this a douche for douche yet from the Washington Post.
It's a perfect morning to talk about scary things.
She sounds like the woman from pa NPR advertising whatever you
want to call him as not her though.
Not her. Scary things with unpleasant names like malware
and computer worms and destructive viruses and Trojan
horses.
Are you scared? Yep.
How's it scare? How's the Trojan horses a scary thing there was
is a gift that was accepted it because it was decorative
malware to scary word,
scam malware, or scary scary words.
Those innocent and even cheery little messages that you get in
your inbox.
Like what? Like Viagra that causes
you nothing but headache and loss,
headache and loss.
This is your intro to Janet Napolitano if you live
you care about cybersecurity. If you don't like the idea of
people snooping around your inbox at work or your personal
email,
no, that's cool. You
mean like the NSA, the government?
You care if you're a company that stores data electronically,
and worries about competitive theft over the internet? Can you
care if you've listened recently, the director of the
CIA paint a dire picture of day to day cybercrime, and to Leon
Panetta is warnings that foreign enemies, if we don't shore
ourselves up can inflict enormous damage to our power
grid, water systems and critical infrastructure. Things that we
used to worry about planes and bombs, and now we're looking
about people with bad intentions and good hacking skills.
That is a bumper sticker right there. I've got bad intentions
and good hacking skills. Maybe it's a t shirt. Just bad
intentions and good hacking skills that's made by day.
People care, and increasingly so. And so this morning, the
Washington Post, who
is this idiot? She's the I don't know, she's the Washington Post,
lady. You want me to look it up?
Now go on.
It's almost done. Just thought it was a great intro.
And increasingly so. And so this morning, the Washington Post has
convened a stellar group of cyber experts.
Oh, you mean like Janet Napolitano, who doesn't use
email and probably doesn't know how to use your computer at all.
And she has stellar expert.
That's knew it would get you
to highlight the issues, the vulnerabilities out there, with
the whole aim of talking about a stronger defense. So let me
welcome now as a person who thing we're not sure if lady is
yeah, a person, person who is well steeped in cyber. She's
well steeped
in cyber John,
steeped, she's soaking in it, now you're soaking
in and mad.
So let me welcome now as a person who is well steeped in
cyber, a member of the President Obama's inner circle, Secretary
of Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano.
She's steeped in cyber, I think that's another t shirt. I'm CPC
in cyber, cyber. So the whole conference was great. I mean, we
could literally turn our microphones off and just play
this conference. And our audience would would win. It's
almost as funny. I mean, you can't make this up. So I did
just want to play one. Again, this is why I don't understand
why is the Washington Post putting together this panel of
stellar panel of experts who were all steeped in cyber, what
I don't want, I don't get it.
You could fight figure it out if you were there.
Because there's something in the handout bags or something. Maybe
some
in the handout bags, or somebody who sponsored the coffee do
anything.
I here's the I already played the piece earlier where we're
Lucy's, like, you know, this hurricane is like being under
attack. We're under attack. We're under attack. What else
was under attack scene
steps of significant intellectual property intrusions
into significant contractors with United States. We have seen
control systems at small water plants and we're all Texas
attacked. We have
that so Bogota, that is so Bogota. Now she's just pulling
stuff off the internet. And like, it's no
no, somebody else is pulling it off the internet. She's not
pulling off anything. She can't use a computer.
Does she just reading the printed PowerPoint slides?
You're right, I'm sorry.
And are undergoing attacks on some of the largest financial
institutions in the United States.
Ongoing,
ongoing attacks ongoing and let me just see, can you get to
mechanics bank.com Right now John, let me just see mechanic's
bank.com Oh, I got to it. I couldn't get to my bank. So this
non ongoing attack there. How about Chase? My daughter has an
account at Chase chase.com Let me see. Oh, oh, the page loaded.
You think that there's maybe still ongoing attack John,
what's happening? How could this be? Yeah,
you're pinging it to death out of these things right now you?
I am I'm stopping. I'm D Dawson. chase.com. Let's continue with
the Lucene Apollo talks
today. And I think while it's impossible to put a hard number
on what these costs, there was a study last year Norton that
said,
Now hold on a second. Norton Norton and Norton. Wayman.
Norton is the anti virus company Norton. Norton. They know not
these are the guys. These are the guys that are that are, by
the way chase.com Is not loading entirely. Oh, there it is.
Norton the antivirus guys she they do this. They say how much
money's lost because of cyber.
Yeah, let me let me Yeah. Because here's why. Because
Norton has no reason to exaggerate anything, just sell
more software. Exactly. So they're they're the source of
the government uses because everyone knows they're going to
be very, very straightforward about the end be very honest
about how much money is lost by cyber
independent you mean they're completely independent,
independent,
very independent. They got no bones they got no dog, no dog
in the hunt. That's right. How much money do you think Norton
has said that they lost millions.
There was a study last year Norton that said $114 billion
now 114 billion, that's Norton, however,
annually, along with a time of the times to repair victims loss
and the like. So that
way, that what what did she just say? Victims loss, along with
the time to repair and victims loss? Yeah,
along with a time of the times to repair victims loss. Hey.
Hello, Hello, can you give me a time to repair
victims loss repair,
so that raised rebuilding
infrastructure, power grid be quiet now?
and the like. So that raises it almost 400 billion annually. And
I think that is a very conservative estimate, I must
say, given what crosses our desk at DHS
is half a trillion dollars. conservative.
Conservative. Yes. Exactly. How much were you being ripped off
by these horrible attacks? How about stopping them then? Sounds
like it'd be worth it.
Well, that's why she wants more money so that she can hire the
people and she
already have enough people to find these people. I'm always
reminded of the guy they hacker that somebody tracked down and
he's living in Minnesota. And the guy says I got this guy's
been screwing with our bank he's been or not the bank, but my
company and all the rest of get your hands over the FBI. They
got no they got no time for this. We aren't getting out. You
ain't got time to deal with this crap. They don't nobody wants to
do anything about it. So this is just totally bullcrap.
Yeah, no, I'm with you. I'm agreeing. It's bull crap. I'm
totally with you.
By the way, talking about somebody hemming and hawing, I
just want to play this clip out of the blue to show people. This
is a guy, I could play this for an hour. There's a clip I have
there where the guy just can't get to the point. And he again,
mumbles is the clip as the guy can't get to the point, I could
have played this for an hour and he still never gets to the point
he just hems and haws I couldn't even do I have to stop watching
it. But this is the kind of suffering and torture that we
put ourselves through on behalf of this show to listen to stuff
like this
happening to people's incomes directly. And so that's what we
set out to do. And it the results are what I had believed
they were they would be from observing other data and and
that is that people's incomes, the incomes of Americans in
general those who are working
right yeah, that's paying
every I'm telling you he says incomes as American incomes and
then comes with our people that are working our incomes that are
are the ones we looked at, believe me our power,
it's painful. It's painful. I know. I know. I go through it
all the time, even when I'm ill.
Why are these people put on the podium?
Because we're not available? Apparently not. Because you're
too busy writing your giblet about electric cars.
You're too busy lounging, surrounded by candles. Ready for
the knife to blend in.
You know, I'm gonna wake up and they're in lipstick on the
mirror it says do not move we remove your kidneys. That's a
different story. Hey, read books. Read book read, read read
book read book. Jack Daniels whiskey company. Jack Daniels
has recently released their an aged rye whiskey. It is the it
is a clear clear content in the bottle. This is the Red Book. My
prediction is coming true. This is the next step before we get
to Jack Daniels just selling moonshine and calling it moon
just is about
it. This is moonshine what you're talking about, hey,
this is yeah, that's what it is on its way it's clear rye
whiskey. So what's moonshine, so it was a run age dry whiskey,
that's got to be really a charmer, it's but that's not the
filter. Now, now you can make this to be a decent product. If
you charcoal filter it about seven times, which is what they
do with a lot of crappy vodkas that are made and you can really
make them taste really smooth. If you have a bottle there. No,
well, you'd look it up and see if it's if it's charcoal
filtered five, five times minimum. Would that say? I would
say it's probably pretty drinkable?
Would it say that I have a picture of the bottle? It'll say
yeah, it's
gotta say it's
even call it they even call it Tennessee. Right? How awesome is
that? I'm telling you, it's the next thing. The mistake they're
making is they need to put it in a mason jar. That's the mistake
they're making. They still have it when
they actually that's already somebody's already done that
trick. There's a mason jar whiskey.
Yeah, but this is going to be the next big thing and you were
laughing at me and you want is going to be all this all the
celebrations are going to have them everyone's going to have
their own celebrating based moonshine and we're going to be
left Yeah, hold
on a second. Here's the story this is food beast. Jack Daniels
unnamed dry whiskey will be released in Tennessee in
December at a suggested retail retail price of 4999. Well
people will not for inventory not aged in barrels just
straight out of the still and they're going to charge it for
this this theory of yours is not going to work at these prices
you What idiot is going to buy a 4999 bottle of whiskey that is
essentially moonshot
the same person who buys an iPhone five
does that an aged that you get I'm looking at the bottle they
got an age as a big benefit
yes I'm telling you Look I'm not saying it's a good product I'm
just telling you what I'm a trend spotter Adam crew spotted
this one trend spotter I spotted this didn't I
yes I'll give you give you a full credit for spotting this.
Right But How stupid are we that we're not nine nine Are you
kidding me? We're not on the bandwagon. Once again
a good Bala decent really actually quite a good bottle of
cognac for that once it is fried. been aged for 18 years.
Once again worse.
We're on the outside looking in.
Good work. Good work and you don't buy that product ladies
and gentlemen. It's it's a rip off.
This is what we should be making. Okay. Listen, you want
to make some serious money? You know what booze? What was?
Really? What was that? Adam Carolla? What do you have man?
Dinah? What was his drink? Man? Griya
I'm sorry. I don't know where that came from. He's always man.
Dinah drink
man giant. Yeah, that's a good one. Yeah, so you're this is
something that there's something wrong with you. I'm sick. You
are sick.
All right. So but she had
to kill him in the bathtub. He was sick.
of crying. You make me laugh, the more you sometimes really
make me laugh. All right. Now listen, instead of what he's
doing. We should make no agenda moonshine. I'm telling you, it's
a hit. We could have a whole separate business
as a different race or a different government agency that
deals with that. Yep. So. So look into it. Look into it.
You're the
booze guy. You know a lot about booze. And I check it out. I
mean, excuse me, they're selling basically moonshine, which is
unfiltered unfazed, uncharged cold, you know, it's turpentine.
In the wrong bottle. This is the problem. We can get mason jars,
we can have our audience send us mason jars.
We just put some in.
We just put some in the mason jar, slap a label on that with a
no agenda thing. Well, and essentially here's what we do.
We have rent and random you get to know agenda art as the label.
Right? So every every label is different. Right? We have
hundreds Yeah.
What do you mean you don't sound excited?
Well, you know, okay, I'll get more excited as this idea
progresses. I'm at the Jack Daniels site, and they don't
even have this product on their own website. That's
how much of a trend spotter I am. I the company doesn't even
know it and I know what's going on.
It's weird. Okay. Anyway, we're talking about
how about let's talk about, Oh, here's another. Here's McCain.
McCain McCain.
Of course the Benghazi thing is not gone. It's gone temporarily
and it may be gone forever, but it's not like we can just be
like the rest of these douchebag news outfits and not talk about
I don't know any more about the botched kidnapping, which
resulted in the death of of the ambassador and in the cover up
so McCain is the only guy out there who is dumb enough to be
talking about it. But when it when, when McCain talks, he lets
little things out which are really cool. That's what I like
about him because he's such a douche. And you learn things
just by listening to him. So here he is talking about
Benghazi and we learned something
touting and giving all the details like when they got Bin
Laden, but now we know that there were tapes or recordings
inside the consulate during this fight and they'd gotten they
came in the FBI finally got in and took those and now they're
classified as quote top secret.
I love that. So there's top secret tapes. Top secret tapes,
and remember what I was saying about the drones about there
being drones Yeah, the
flying around.
Turns out I was spot on the money.
Well, I was just gonna say Senator you have called for
declassifying the drone pictures apparently there were a drone
pictures.
What kind of journalist is this drone pictures drove? What did
like this like an Instamatic camera on the drone, you douche.
Gorgon stare and pick drained
drone pictures I mean, this guy wants
to see him this guy's living
in the in the World War Two intelligence. YouTube spy
photographs. You know like the black and white.
You got your minox camera with the little crosshairs on it.
These take a picture of a document
these people have no idea the quality the the level of
resolution that these drone video systems Gorgon stare that
they project it's unbelievable the
detail. Yeah, they use adaptive optics. Very high end. Yeah. And
it
can be over an area of six kilometers. This is not drawn
pictures. Hey, say hey McCain. Did you see the drone pictures
of the drone? The Polaroid like they got an Instagram.
I was gonna say Senator, you have called for declassifying
the drone pictures. So apparently there were a drone
pictures. Why had you seen those pictures? Senator?
No, I have not. But what I do know is that those in the
surveillance state records from inside and around. The consulate
will show that there was no demonstration. The Turkish
ambassador left his consulate and said goodbye to Chris
Stevens at 830 at night there was no demonstration now we
learned something
else here as you are coughing yo up along
apparently I have to get some water I'm dying of Libya.
Okay, go get some water then. Wow, I'm sorry. That's it sounds
like he has man Dinah I almost did. By the way, that's nothing
that well while you're doing that, let me hop on the repeater
see if we got any your hands out there. It was the KF five SLN is
monitoring. Let's see if we have any one on the frequency on the
repeater
that ingested some some mildew.
You got mildew. You got mildew in your throat you back
Yeah, okay, I'm good to go.
So So another thing I just hear hear is that the ambassador to
Turkey was visiting there at 8pm and then he just left he just
left the building. Ah,
that is weird. And the
turkey guy um, come on this turkey. What's he doing? What's
the master for Turkey doing there in in in Benghazi
No, I'm telling you that this is a great clip this is Clip of the
Day No, I'm not gonna take it it's not that great. It's not
that well it is to me because this is all new stuff.
So for literally days and days they told the American people
something that had no basis in fact whatsoever
to me it feels a bit robbed doesn't feel a bit stolen
doesn't feel like a real Clip of the Day I liked it. Okay, well
I'll take it I'll take it now clip or the day has got to be
this thing I got a chunk here someone's logged on to the
repeater Alright, well you too late now. I already did my did
my call out my CQ
Yeah, yeah. Get back to the story chunk.
Chunks house got broken into
chunk, chunk. Yeah. The CIA broke into his house and I
think what's his name's chunk, chunk, chunk chunk. So he think
so he turns this into an anti gun thing. Which is really do
you want to hear it?
Yeah,
because something crazy happened in my house last night happened.
Az 30 In the morning my sister in law came upstairs. We've got
a two story house and we are in a triangle relationship and she
was downstairs and a guy had come up
but we we wait wait wait, wait, wait, wait. Let's go through the
timeline again. His sister Lois, was at the house at 230 in the
morning.
Now he says My sister is I guess his sister in law lives on the
first floor. Did they have a story house and so his sister in
law lives downstairs. And he and his he has a two story house
that's
crazy happened in my house last night is his house. We know that
at 130. In the morning, my sister in law came upstairs.
We've got a two story house at
130 in the morning, his sister in law's roaming around his
house.
And she was downstairs.
And I got it because normally she's apparently upstairs. I had
come up to the door that we have downstairs in a room and sort of
shaky and go, I'm Brian, let me in. Let me in. I'm in trouble.
You gotta let me in. And that scared the hell out of her.
Obviously, guy. We don't know it all. She ran upstairs called the
police and said, you know, can you help me with what's
happening downstairs? So
here's the timeline, she runs upstairs calls the police. Okay.
And this guy who's
Why did she run upstairs to call the police and that she was
already upstairs. So obviously, this is just a something. Okay,
go ahead. I'm not gonna interrupt anymore. Check it out.
It turns out there was a crazy guy in our yard. And he'd been
all over the neighborhood. He'd gone to four different houses he
thrown I think is stolen through a Starbucks, etc. And when I
looked outside, he was in the driveway. And thank God the cops
had shown up. And he's yelling at the cops and he won't back
down. And the police started walking towards him and towards
the house. And you know what he did? He bolted to our backyard,
and then broke down our back door and was in our living room.
Now at this point, I've got Jenny, my sister in law, I've
got my wife, I got my newborn daughter all downstairs because
they were curious. They came down to see what was happening
with the police. I got them upstairs right away, I turn on
the lights, and I let the cops in. It all took about two
seconds or so. And it was incredibly scary.
Was it as scary as that tree falling
is all two seconds, by the way, two seconds. Now first, we got
to get into different mean.
And the cops came in and handled the situation perfectly. And
they got them on the ground. And thank God nobody got hurt. And
they said he might be on bath salts. He was acting really
crazy. Now we don't know that you obviously need toxicology
reports to figure that out. But there's no question that he was
acting incredibly crazy. Screaming and making no sense
whatsoever. Okay.
Right. So that should be the end of the story. Bath Salts. Great
news.
So then after I told the story, you know, friends here and asked
me a really interesting question. Did you change your
mind on gun control? Did you wish that you had a gun in the
house? When you have your newborn? There? You got your two
year old son, you got your whole family got your mother upstairs,
etc? And I said not at all. In that moment. I thought thank
god, there's no guns in the house. Because when the cops
come, what if I've got a gun? Then they're confused. Is it the
guy with a gun that I have to worry about? Or
the course is the guy on bath salts trying to eat your face
off without the gun?
What's my priority? Do I subdue the guy with the gun on the
door? I go after the crazy guy. Which one is which? Now? They
said what if the other guy had a gun? Or what if he's got a gun
and he starts shooting and I start shooting and then the cops
are shooting? There's bullets flying all over my house and I
got a two year old a newborn and my wife and my whole family in
the house. That's the last thing in the world that I want.
believe this is great. I'm shoot he should the competition. Just
boom.
Boom. I swear to you the whole time I was thinking thank God
there are no guns and thank God he wasn't armed either. And
look, if he's got a gun, and we all start shooting, it isn't
gonna help anyway. And trying to fight back against the crazy guy
with a gun is not what you should be doing.
No, no, no, you should be hanging out with your sister in
law. That's what the cops are there for and they were there
and they were ready. And they responded. Okay, it doesn't help
the situation
that went on for like another 15 minutes.
This isn't pathetic.
I thought you'd like it. chunk. He's too funny.
Yeah, well, now they got Joy Bay Harbor on that stupid current
jail that
happened to her. I mean, she literally went from CNN to HLN
to wait, no, she had his network show. And then
they say well, she's nuts. I mean, she's obviously she's
horrible. There's the horrible interviewer she's she's a she's
a comic that is left wing crazy. Yeah. And she you know, she's, I
don't know that she obviously wasn't maintaining her numbers.
They're paying her a lot of money. I know the currents not
paying or any of their pain or anything is crazy. No, she's
just she's like once a week. And she's
Yeah, she just needs to be there for the show just to, you know,
just to be someone in New York society.
And she says, I think one of our promos is she says, now she can
speak her mind. As if she wasn't speaking her mind too much on
the other show.
You know who else's show. What more can she say? You know who
else's show got canceled? Who? Anderson Cooper? Oh, yeah,
no, they counted they canceled his daytime show. I know. After
Tuesday's give it a shot. They didn't give it enough time. And
I
think he I think he got some smart advice. Finally like dude,
to stop doing this. This is not good for you. You know, he could
be anchor at.
He could he could be Yeah, he should stay with his anchoring
style.
If he could get out of CNN easily get out of a CNN
contract. And here's one for the Red Book. He will be like the
big night nighttime anchor for CBS or NBC, not ABC, CBS or NBC.
You know, it'd be like Tom Brokaw or Peter Jennings. Cooper
can do that. You know, and he's a few getting his chops there.
You know, he's standing in
right and on that other show that shows acting goofy, and he
was acting silly. You couldn't take him too seriously. And he's
also acting too gay.
Yeah. Well, there's that. You know, we have a several you have
the Dutch and the Belgians don't like each other. They're kind of
like a love hate relationship.
Yeah. Why is that? I don't know.
Because Belgium isn't a real country. And I don't know I
don't know what it is. But they have a love hate relationship
but yet they love each other that they hate each other. They
make jokes. I don't know what's the sleep doesn't exceed what
you hate you you make fun of where you love you make fun of.
So we have these jokes. Like you know, you know, do you know why
the Belgian Navy didn't you know only set sail once during the
Second World War? And the answer is no, because they ran out of
coal you know stuff like that. To go I think it's the Belgian
Air Force because they ran out of coal that's even better.
Yeah. But so here's one that I read this is great. So the they
had to fire the the director of a Belgian jail because he lost
the master key of the prison what he lost the master key now
they have to change
that Dutch made that store I'm sure they did now
this is no this is your own news. I bet you this video to it
too. If it's your own news is where's the key? That van Bruno
where's the key? I don't know the key No, no.
The key is the key.
I just thought that was so funny. The Belgians lost the key
but at the change all the locks in the prison. That's so
typical. Well, let me see if there's a video with this
euronews usually as video. Oh, yes. Here it is. This is under
the category. Where is it?
And now, back to real.
Except the flash won't play. Here it is.
God this is annoying.
The governor of one Belgian jail has been suspended after keys to
the cells went missing the chaplain of love and prison
mislaid his master set. Staff fit inmates could have got their
hands on them. It means the lucky prisoner will be able to
open any of the 180 cells or the internal doors that separates
the 20 sections of the jail. Officials are trying to get to
the bottom of the matter who's ever monitored. We've asked for
an investigation and a report of what happened. We want to know
who had the keylogger that's
that's the news you have to deal with ladies and gentlemen. That
is what's yours
is better than dealing with this Alyssa Milano commercial for
UNICEF which is the I thought these things were out of vogue
where they showed the starving kid even though the kids in the
studio showing the starving kid and then your they asked you do
you only swimming Akasha nickel so give us $15 You know that
kind of those ads?
This is Alyssa Mallanna from who's the boss. I don't know
where she's from? Well, yeah, as Alyssa Milano she was a Tony
Danza as daughter on who's the boss?
I don't know it gets her. Okay. And she's doing
a UNICEF commercial.
Yeah. And every day every every step of the way you go. You have
you can't not watch this without making commentary while it's
running.
Do we play it?
Yeah, play it.
What would you do if there was a child right in front of you?
sitting all alone? crying in pain for longer I
just show a bunch of kids and
what if all you had to do was reach into your pocket and pull
out 50 cents to save
50 cents he needs food
this is that child. And this, give him some food lady. These
two quarters, it's never been easier to save the life of a
child. Go online or call this number and join UNICEF with your
$15 monthly gift. It's only 50 cents a day. And it means you'll
get these children the critical help. They need to survive.
Emergency care, nutrition, vaccines, anti malaria bed nets
delivered every single day of the year to the children who
could die without it. That's what your 50 cents a day. And
the UNICEF we believe that's what every child deserves. We
know you do too.
You know, just read some.
But first of all, how do you get an insurance plan for $15 a
month that covers all these benefits?
Someone in the chat room just said something very, very right.
Do you remember at Halloween? Was this a gamma Mon? At
Halloween? We used to carry around UNICEF boxes and you go
trick or treating? And then you say Do you have something for
UNICEF? Do you remember that?
Vaguely I do remember there was that there used to be that sort
of thing in the March of Dimes was another one like it.
Yeah. So they've just you know, who knows? I don't know. I
question all this stuff. I have no idea. I have no idea. I can
help my you know, I helped my neighbor what I can. We had a
thing. I saw something really beautiful here in Austin. Screw
this. I think this Alyssa Mallanna what you've adopted
kids.
No, I've adopted the policy of giving any homeless person to
ask me for some money to some money. I've always I've always
done that. Yeah, you're you're actually adamant about it. Yeah.
It's like, Oh, here you go. Because they're fallen angels.
No, I've adopted kids, the adoption thing that always got
to me because then you, you send off your money. And then you get
a letter from the kid, right? And then you'd like, Oh, that's
cool. Need to Write a letter back. And then all of a sudden
this like the agency says, Well, you got a new kid. Well, no, I
wonder what happened to the old kid and you get new pictures?
Yeah. Have you ever done this? Have you ever seen this
app? No, I've never done that. But I can just imagine, it's
really crazy. And then you think there's some scam ish thing
about it? Maybe?
I don't know. But it's like, you get pictures. And I remembered
like, we'd send pictures back. And with Christina, we did like,
and let's take a picture of us and the family we send that they
make the photo. And then you know, like, we wouldn't hear
anything. And then we got a new letter. Hi, I'm your new kid.
I'm your new foster kid. Like what happened to the old one?
And then they never answer you. It's strange,
huh? Yeah, well, that surprises me.
But here's how America works. The one that I grew up in. So we
have the market on Saturdays. And everyone's got their email
lists and the Facebook pages you know, so we know what what
chicken you know, forgot. Like, if we got hold chickens, or we
know what the guys are bringing everyone kind of communicate. So
it's a small community through the Austin sustainable food
something or other. And we know all our people at the market and
so you could kind of preorder like, hey, you know, I want the
eight pound tenderloin and the reserve it for me. And you know,
just so they know that you're common. So then we got an email
that Jane who is with the chicken lady, she's a chicken
lady with the chicken guy. It's the three of them on the farm
with like, they have one guy help. And this is what they do
they farm chickens. So she'd fallen down. She she'd really
broken her wrist severely and had to have an operation. And of
course, they have no insurance course. I mean, I don't know how
Obamacare works, but they don't have it. And it's a
$28,000 $20,000 operation she needs to have and they talked
him down to 10,000 How crazy is this? If they paid in cash? So
someone who who knows them wrote this story up and opened up like
a like a Kickstarter thing or donation thing. And then yeah,
literally everyone pitched in. Everyone threw in some bucks.
You know, we throw 100 bucks and then we paid for it. And we took
in Yeah, we take care of our own. That's how it used to work.
And that doesn't happen anymore. All like has to be from some
agency and some thing and you know, whatever. And I feel so
much better giving my money directly to someone who's either
on the street or is in this situation. And they do it with a
community of people and we help out and you know that people
helping out at the stall because she couldn't be there. That's
that's how it should be. That's what it used to be. It's not now
it's like just change a Twitter icon text $10 I'm done.
Whatever, every
new icon I'm done. Yeah, done. And that's it sucks. And it
doesn't feel right.
So you know, it's funny because it depends on the culture.
Americans are very generous. And if given the opportunity, if
given the opportunity to just to be douchebags, they'll do that,
too. If the government wants to take take over the
place, we're good at being douchebags. That's true.
So I'm in England in London one time, and there's some guy with
one leg missing crutches, the guy was a wreck. And he asked me
if I hadn't you know, if I could spare a dime kind of thing. So I
gave him like a pound note or whatever I had, because he just
was pathetic. Some guy in a big lorry big truck, stops the truck
in the street and it cusses me out. What? Yeah, why? That's
just me i forgiving the beggar any money whatsoever? Yes,
yelling at me, never knew that you're gonna just get Bob I just
went crazy. And I brought this up with some Brits. And they all
say, oh, yeah, is very it's considered bad form to give
money to anyone in the street is begging, the place will end up
like India. You know. So I don't think a lot of cultures are all
as generous as we are.
I will say on the other hand, we have a guy here in Austin, who's
who has a great scam going on. There's this little little
restaurant, to seafood restaurants, small, very, very
small. You can sit outside, and we're sitting there with some
friends. And they live right in that neighborhood. And there's
this old guy, and he has a blind stick, you know, a white stick
with no. And I think samurai sword. That's what he has. He's
got he's got he's got a wide blind, a blind person stick, an
ugly stick. And he doesn't he's not wearing glasses or anything.
But you know, he has that. Like, I'm blind look, and he may be
blind, I don't know. But he stands on one side of the
street. And then you could just watch it all day long. He's just
sitting there. And then and he'll be standing with this
stick. And then you know, with someone come up and say, Do you
need help crossing the street? And he'll say, yeah, and then
they help them cross the street. And they say, and then they'll
say you got $1 and then if the if the people don't give him the
dollars, like thanks for caring, literally, and then he'll and
he'll walk in. Yeah, I've seen these. And he's in the middle of
the street as the cars come around. And the cars will
literally FCN you will go around and stop, Park Get out. Hey,
man, do you need some help crossing the street? Oh, yeah.
Thanks. And there's like, the ends and you got $1 and then
don't give it to a man. Thanks. Thanks for caring. And he does
it all day long.
He probably brings in two 300 bucks a day.
I'm telling you. It's an awesome skit, and the guy may 8 may be
able to care. Thanks for caring
what a douchebag
is that that's not value for value. I like it when someone
does something either. If you make me laugh, yeah, that's
value for value at this. There's nothing I don't feel guilty
about giving you money. I don't feel anything. It can be just,
you know, you got a funny sign. That's all good. You know, do
something. I'll buy a bed or buy crap from you. Value for value.
That's the way forward stop with all the stop. Stop. I'm sick.

I don't want to talk about it. But you know, I got to do what I
got to do.
George Lucas just got $4 billion for selling his old franchise to
the idiots at Disney. Now. I want you to tell an anecdote
about this story. All right. I know I have a clip but it's not
important. Now I'll stop when they went star I remember this
distinctly when Star Wars came out first came out in 1977.
Disney made a big stink about how crappy it was as a movie.
And they went on to say where you got we can show you how to
do it right. And they came up with a movie called The Black
Hole, which was just a piece of crap. And now they've been up by
and Lucas I just thought there was irony in there somewhere.
You can play it play us out.
