I urge you Ethiopian girls are hungry all the time.
Adam curry, John C. Dvorak.
Thursday, March 21 2013. Time for your kick no nation media
assassination, Episode Four, nine or seven.
This is no agenda straight
on a Range Rover hell at the drivers high tide out. We're so
coamings MoPhO in the capital of the drone Star State in the
morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry.
And from Northern Silicon Valley, why don't have any jazzy
kind of poetic thing to say of John C. Dvorak. raglan.
That's just a lack of preparation, John? Yeah, that's
all it is.
You write this stuff down, then. You admit it?
I always. Yeah, I always write down opening that.
Yes. will apply to your little ditty at the end of the
knighting.
No, man, that's from memory. I wake up in the morning and I
rehearse that little knighting Diddy. Yeah, that's exactly what
I do. Exactly. So the oops. The Range Rover finally did it.
Oh, no. It was wanting to drive back from Dallas.
No, we took the truck. I'm glad we took the truck. Because, you
know, I mean, it wasn't that warm yesterday, it was, you
know, high 70s. And I get the call. Did you know this call?
And then he's like, there's steam coming out of it
again. Oh, you just had a hole?
No, but I just had a whole water pump put in and now I'm like,
you know, we're done with this car. Now.
Sure. It just wasn't a cracked hose. What is coming out sounds
like a hose. You
know, it's, you know,
what else would it be?
But I'm done with the car. You see, it's 1999 I can't have my
wife driving around with something that you know what's
gonna happen next. You know,
it's always gonna be something with every car. I know. But more
than four years old.
I'd also like to point out that you know, the right hand side
the passenger door
open and that's that's annoying that you know, it's not okay,
lime in the back the
climb in the back or through the window. And the all the ceiling.
You know, the what do you call that? The Pat? He
looked like a NASCAR racer. Jump into window. Would you do it
with some netting on there? So now I'm like, Okay, I'll just
get something Japanese that will run Toyota. Well, they're not
cheap. Slug deaths for that reason? Yeah, the Toyota is not
cheap. And so now, I think it was you that told me that it's a
it's a much better deal to call up one of these outfits that
will come and tow the car away. And then I get the tax
deduction.
I didn't say it was a better deal. I said it's, I mean, yeah.
That's one way of doing it, as opposed to let it sit there.
Although since you're in Texas, and but you could put it up on
blocks and put it in place.
To match the neighbors you mean?
Yeah. So you did you write at home and there was a local?
Okay. No, I mean, no one will take this. They'll take it as it
is. In other words, okay. I've got a million of them. Take and
put it in the front yard just like that. And then get some
black spray can bright black paint and then across the side
that's visible to the outside. Spray lemon on the car. And
that'll make you feel better. And possibly somebody's Range
Rover. Oh, get hold of the photo and then a new car. Okay,
I think this is the best strategy I've heard yet. I can't
wait to share it with Mickey. Although the car is black, so I
think we should do an end goal. white painted gold gold we still
have. So it's harder to see but why it would be good.
And I think the way it works is you know, they'll come over.
They'll give you an IRS receipt. Yeah, for like, and the car is
you know, blue book. If you you know if you take away the door
thing and the engine exploding is probably worth about four
grand. Blanc. Yeah, yeah. Well, it's low mileage.
How many miles are on that thing?
I think 97,000
Oh, that's fine. I don't know what how you define low mileage?
Well, everything I've looked at to buy for her is about that.
I'm just picking up where this one left off.
No good. You can keep shopping like on Craigslist or wherever.
Just find somebody trying to sell their car you will find
somebody who has like 45,000 miles on their car. Yeah.
Here's what I here's what I found. Here's what I found.
First of all, I found that my wife's interest in the vehicle
is the color This is pretty much black car. No, she wants an off
white now I'm like, Okay,
wait,
what does that even mean? I think it's pearlescent
eggshell white automobile
pretty much what she wants. That's exactly it. And so I'll
show cars she's like yeah that's a nice color and like there's a
little more to it but that's okay color this isn't she does
she does not really care but what then I point out to her
there's all these amazing deals but the cars always read
that's what you want
you don't know him his Mickey apparently
don't know the American she hasn't apparently no American
drivers you want a car that is visible. So people don't say oh
and see your black car when I hit you? Because nobody's gonna
get away with this saying this important. I didn't see the car
is red.
This is not gonna happen. This is not she said this is the
limit. There will be no red car in her future. By the way, you
don't have a red car you have well you yours used to be white
Corvette your your your Lexus used to be white. I think it is
now actually off white.
It's old. Yeah, that's,
that's what's so great about it. Anyway, I'm very happy that we
didn't that we didn't take that up to Dallas. Mickey did her big
roll on. On Dallas.
Well, you're gonna have to clue the audience in.
Yeah, well, you know what? I have to say it was kind of set
bearing Oh, Director. Are you kidding me? So the director is
Jesse bochco. bochco? Yeah, he's Steven bochco son. Wow. So he's,
he's,
this is the problem with the entertainment business. Yeah,
it's all insiders. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Licks Oh, yeah. I son.
Yeah. And the producer is Ken Taylor. He's done a lot of
stuff. But you but you know, how the RIP Taylor's Ken Taylors
kind of up there in age I could tell. But what was interesting,
you know, how, on if whenever you have the, the award shows
that are not about movies, but it's about either TV series, or,
you know, like, just basically television series shows. Yeah,
okay. They always are thanking the writers. Like our fantastic
writing team. You know, we're so happy with you both. And thank
you to the writers. Without you, our work would be nothing. I
understand why they do this now. Because I met the writer of this
episode. Who is onset in me, he's, he's a big shot. He's in.
So Mickey introduced me to him. And I'm talking he said, Yeah, I
really loved her audition, which is why we not only decided to
bring her in, even though she read for different part. I just
love what she did. And we had this part for a girl called
KALLIOPI. We thought the name was no good. And we heard that
her name was Mickey. And we so we decided, Oh, this is great.
We'll call her Mickey. Except that will be mi KK i. And I was
like, no, no. All right. So this guy basically hired
her. They gave her the name of a Japanese hooker.
Russian. And, and, you know, so he essentially, you know, yeah,
he's, he's, he's responsible for hiring. And she had her role is,
I mean, it's not like she's not on screen for the whole episode.
But she is involved with one of the kind of main characters and
I'm like, Yeah, I'm, I'm seeing season three, you know, she
could totally
push it over the place.
Like, she could totally, you know, take over South Fork. And
he's like, huh, yeah, unfortunately, you know, her
character can ends in a very hurt their characters
involvement. You know, the other guy doesn't end well for him.
But yeah, she could be like, really pissed off. And yeah, I
feel like wow, that I just talked her into a gig on season
three. You might have it's very, very powerful. These guys.
Anyway, and you know, this is a big show. There's a hit show,
John the good like three and a half 4 million people watching
this
thing? Yeah, I know. It's a shame Larry Hagman died in the
middle of it. Yeah.
Well, you know, they're bringing the $6 million man in to replace
him. Not as Jr. But just like another old guy.
What's his major risk losing another act?
The frigging Lee Majors. And it was cool, though. It was fun to
this. I forgotten what it's like there's a million people on this
show. Just it's people doing things and
those shows. There's so many people. I mean, you see when the
Credit Rolls, it's like, Who are all these people? What are they
doing mostly standing around? Oh,
no. Everyone had the job he had no matter how small it is. They
all have a very specific task and they do it very well.
What's the gaffer doing during the shooting? He's not gaffing
anything.
But that's his job is small His job is to is to gasp before they
shoot. And that's it.
Yeah. And then he stands around it goes home. All right, well,
what does it do? Obviously doesn't go home because you
never know when you need gaffer?
Exactly. But I was I was impressed. I thought it was. I
thought it was fun to watch. I kind of forgotten what it was
like he tried to
get a job.
No, in fact, so in these Hollywood situations, there's
always someone to take you to the next place or whether you're
never alone. And when they are taking talent, that would be
Mickey. You know, it like into the makeup trailer. It's like,
you know, so the guy is like, okay, stepping up, one stepping
up. The Mickey Acuras stepping up and her husband that's to
steppin up. You know, it's like, whatever you get with like,
crossing, we've got to crossing we've got talent Mickey and her
husband, and to this guy, I became buddy. You know that
moment where it's like, Hey, buddy, Where's Mickey? Hey,
buddy. It's like, Hey, we're ready for Mickey's you. Know,
oh, okay, buddy. Well, wasn't buddy. Why don't you live? Or? I
was completely insignificant buddy.
Yeah, well, that's what you are in this situation. They probably
would rather have you not there. Yeah,
but they were cool with it. So I was I was fun. And a large
portion of the people are old enough to remember me. And were
impressed. Oh, that's good. Yeah, that's always nice.
Anyway, so episode 14 of the series, one before last, and
they're very hopeful that they will have another season.
There's no green light yet from the network. This is the cable,
isn't it? TNT? Yeah. But it's a big deal. Yeah, I
know. But what else is TNT got to do. Besides Greenlight that
show? Well, they have a big meeting today, boys. What are we
going to do with this Dallas show? Well, since it's the only
show we really have, I think we should run it again. My name
came up.
I'm sorry. Oh, last night. Yeah.
So we sound good.
We were invited to a dinner. A and just want to know, so Laurie
frick is an artist here. And she and Mickey are friends. And
she's but she's, uh, she's really a transhumanist freak.
And I tell her this, because she's she, her art consists of
her tracking her body movements. So she's always got like, you
know, those wristbands that Leo always wears, you know, that
tracks your pulse and how your sleeping habits are and right,
and she's also an artist
roll over in bed times last night. Isn't that fascinating?
So she's an she's also artists in residence at the neurobiology
Center at University of Texas. So she invited Russell Podrick,
the professor of psychology and neurobiology to the dinner with
his wife, and reasonably young guy.
What dinner was this again?
You just just just a dinner party? Like six people here in
Austin. Laurie's house?
Okay, yeah. She have a nicer place than you? Yes.
Unequivocally. Yes. It's a very beautifully contemporary brand
new I mean, nicely built nice thing. Yeah. Very nice. And, and
so you know, so this is a scientist. And this guy is
nothing but empirical, this empirical and, you know, you put
like, hippie chick, socialist, Dutch girl, Mickey, across the
table from the guy who's pretty much like, I'm not in love with
my wife. We are just two beings who happen to meet Oh, God,
God's cross
legged behavior.
Yeah, no, he's so he is tracking his all of his new thing now is
he's imaging himself. So he does an MRI like every day and takes
notes about his life. It was it was it was pretty outrageous.
And of course, you know, they they know what I do. And then
yeah, but they're like big fans of the divorce suck. Das
telecommunications book.
1987.
Exactly. Exactly. You are you are
the guy still alive?
No, the question was, how old is he really? That one came up?
Doesn't matter. He could be 27 for all I care. He's, he's my
buddy. He's my buddy on the show. So yeah, but it was it was
you know, I just had to say like, I'm really against this as
I'm really I think this has no value. And what are you doing it
for? What What I'm interested, does your brain transmit signals
and can I receive it? And he's like, Oh, no. No research has
been done on that. Really said Nah, no one's interested in
that. Okay. Yeah. Anyway, so what the great, very nice
people, but the great thing that came out of it is Mickey is
allowed to go on Monday and photograph his brain collection.
Oh my God.
He says he's got brains that were that lobotomies had been
performed on the brain. So you see, like, pieces all missing in
the front. And, and it's
something that would give you nightmares.
No, well, she's very excited. Anyway,
we're excited to get her a red car.
Anyway, so the President of the United States, President Obama
is, is in Israel, Israel, then we should start saying it
properly. Israel, Israel, and did a little stand up. Did he
there with our buddy? Bibi Netanyahu? Did you catch any of
the press conference? John, were you the whole
thing, including the thing with the humor? Because what's his
name from NBC couldn't stop asking questions. Right. Right.
You want to play some amusing, but Well, I thought there was a
catch anything? Because I got no, yeah. I didn't see anything
happen. Yes,
I did get no, I got some clips. I think the I think you're
mistaken. I think there's some things that we always seem to,
to identify early. And namely, you know, he's he traveled with
his old script writer with all the old jokes. And, of course it
and a lot more. Yeah.
So here's the joke that I I'm now going to call the President
of the United States out as a misogynist. I'm sick and tired
of this particular joke.
Well, thank you, Prime Minister Netanyahu, for your kind words,
and for your wonderful welcome here today. And I want to
express a special thanks to Sarah as well as your two sons
for their warmth and hospitality. It was wonderful to
see them. They are, I did inform the prime minister that they are
very good looking young men who clearly got their looks from
their mother.
Well, I could say the same with your daughters was funny,
because yeah, let's be honest, the first daughters are pretty
ugly. As row, this is true. And here comes our
goal is to improve our gene pool. Women who are better
than we are, yay, how many times we heard this joke.
Heard it at least? I don't know if I lost count. Yeah, it's at
least five times. It's really big. And I think it's, it's,
it's now degrading towards women. I feel just like, you
know, I don't know, it doesn't feel like reverse reverse
misogyny or something. It's not okay. It's just it's not, I'm
not down with it anymore.
Then never down with it. Well,
the first three times, like,
you know, if I hear the same joke twice, I mean, it's the
President is not a guy who can like trick you into not seeing
one of his acts. Like the comic who keeps doing the same gags
over and over and over, because it's a different audience every
time.
So here's, here's my pet. My pet peeve, he goes over to Israel,
and again, mistakes his job as President of these United
States, your pet
leaders are most solemn responsibility is the security
of our people. Now,
I'm sorry, that is not your responsibilities. Job. Number
one. No, that is not your job is to defend and uphold the
Constitution.
My job as President United States is, first and foremost is
to keep the American people safe.
Now, I'm sorry, that is just that is incorrect. That is not
your job. Your job is to protect the Constitution of the United
States, Donald like you're having a conversation with him
right now. It's very funny bit. Maybe she worked on that clip,
and you need to clip
Okay, okay, I'll work on that. I can probably do that. But in
this case, he literally left the holes wide open. I mean, please,
you know, that was easy. So then, let's see, we have, you
know, the promise of that lame thing that we know doesn't work
on
extending it for the years beyond. I'm also pleased to
announce that we will take steps to ensure that there's no
interruption of funding for Iron Dome,
Iron Dome, that's the thing that can stop us good. And it's $200
million.
Yes, the huge scams
are a result of decisions that I made last year. Oh, good jobs,
real risk will receive approximately $200 million this
fiscal year and we will continue to work with Congress and
See, I don't think that's fair, I think Raytheon may receive
$200 million and take it over. Music is another one of those
big checks, a big,
big giant check. Cardboard, by the way, the banks hate it when
you bring those in.
That really annoying, they don't fit through
the slot at the drive thru on future funding of Iron Dome.
These are further reminders that we will help to preserve
Israel's qualitative military edge so that Israel can defend
itself by itself against any threat.
So then, then he said something that I've really had to think
about, of course, you know, we put in the Red Book that there
will be a chemical attack and a chemical weapons attack in
Syria. And now everyone's going back and forth, you know, did
the Assad regime regime did they, you know, light off some
chemical weapons and kill people? Was it the rebels? Was
it al Qaeda, you know, who the heck is really doing all this?
Where's it all coming from? And we have to investigate this and
make sure, but really, when you think about it, and you know,
this is the red line, this is the red line. I have an
observation about this type of, of warfare.
Assad has lost his legitimacy to lead by attacking the Syrian
people with almost every conventional weapon in his
arsenal including Scud missiles. Okay, so
he's been he's been killing people with everything he's got,
including Scud missiles we have
been clear that the use of chemical weapons against the
Syrian people would be a serious and tragic mistake.
Now I got to disagree with this I'm thinking look if you're
gonna kill people anyway Why make a mess of it? The chemical
weapons you don't ruin the building you know everything you
know sticks around you only need two people you know they die
they easy to clean up. You don't have to hose anything down. Why
is it that chemical weapons which are intended to kill
people just like a Scud or any other regular weapon,
conventional weapon? Why is this the red line? John, I don't
understand
what because there was a Geneva convention or award convention I
did after World War One. Because of the chemical weapons do make
a mess. They a lot of people they puke up all over the place.
And then they get a walk out like zombies. A million problem
No, this this how can the horrible How can that be more?
Listed a blistering gas, it makes it all blistery. And then
you come out. It's a mess. It's horrible. And this is like it's
like a it's like a form of torture as opposed to getting
shot in the head. I know what you're saying. I mean, one form
of violence. What difference does it make? Yes, but they
they've been banned is the deal. They're banned the band, they're
illegal. Okay, use your word criminal immediately. Now, of
course, they said that they did it. This kind of snuck into the
conversation too. I mean, I, I have a clip here from it with
Erin Burnett, who by the way, I'm not going to say and I don't
believe she's a cocaine user. Okay, but he went to her nose in
a very distinctive way. Oh, and was I wish I was I should have
made a clip and sent it to Mickey for her analysis. Yes,
meta analysis he has made. This was really very distinctive. And
she sniffed right afterward. I just kind of just way you kind
of just back you up for a second Mickey's analysis would be
because of her experience. Running nightclubs. Yeah. Not
like she was. But for any at all. She's seen it all. Yes, she
has. She has. Oh,
so the thing is, and then Erin, I noticed I've noticed her
cadence on early parts of some of the shows is one way and then
she talks like a maniac, but it's just crazy talk. I mean,
react yak yak. She can't be you know, she's stutters and
stammers and talks really fast and she can't stop talking
really fast. And that's the way she is. So I'm just thinking she
she should probably go to decaf. No, I'm not saying that she uses
or his use cocaine or she's using cocaine while she's doing
the show. But she she has certain appearances when she
should correct yes, Jeff. Yes to help her not be this way. But he
placed Syria in the gas bullcrap. When she first says
Syria you here are gonna Yes. You know when it's Oh, wow. This
Okay.
Neftali the Justice Minister today CVX Live. Livni told our
Jessica Yellin that it is clear in Israel that Syria has used
chemical weapons. Obviously the United States, the President and
State Department have said they've seen those reports. They
have not yet confirmed whether they think Syria has used
chemical weapons, whether it'd be the government or the
opposition. Have you seen proof that Bashar Al Assad or the
opposition have used them?
Well, I don't know about proof but we were very concerned about
these chemical weapons won't answer the question taken or
handed over to Hezbollah in Lebanon. In our mind you there's
roughly 60,000 missiles in Lebanon targeted at the north
and center of Israel, that chemical weapons exist in Syria,
the missiles exist in Lebanon. And when you connect the two,
it's a mortal risk for Israel. And we'll protect ourselves
against this sort of action, right?
So we get no answer. But that
guy supposedly that passed out the word. So this is bullcrap.
Well, actually, it's funny. Let me since you bring that up, let
me play for you di fi. Di fi.
Yeah, di fi fi.
I believe with a I agree with the comments that Chairman
Rogers has made. I think we hear all this in a classified
session. This is highly classified, we have very
classified the bullcrap is classified. So be very
careful what we say. I'm told that the White House has been
briefed the same thing that we have been briefed. What I said
earlier, is that
the White House has, at least we're all on board, the same
bullcrap
make some decisions in this. I think the days are becoming more
desperate. The regime is more desperate. We know where the
chemical weapons are. It's not a secret that they're there. And I
think the probabilities are very high, that we're going into some
very dark times. And I think the White House needs to be
prepared. Both committees now have been fully briefed.
Yes, very dark tan absolutely nothing
except that we're going to apparently we know where the
weapons are like, the same guys who knew where the weapons were
in Iraq and
dark times, John, dark times, dark times. Now. So here's the
show title, I might add dark times. Yes. This is a very
coordinated effort. Because while all this is taking place,
we have Ambassador Ford Ambassador to Syria, who, for
obvious reasons, is not hanging out in Damascus, before the
Senate, speaking about the dire situation, and I'm very
interested in this. And here's what was what I found.
Interesting. And I'm glad I do the work that I'm able to do. So
the written testimony is what goes on the record, correct.
Whatever he says there's like, whatever, they'll take that into
account. But when he does his opening statement, the real
thing goes under the wreck. Right? But including the written
testimony,
oh, yeah, no, there's a bunch of testimony that and things that
they put in later. So you can put the stuff in at the
beginning later anyway, you can have a huge document against it.
As long as somebody says this has to go into the record at
some point during the proceeding, then all the stuff
that's handed in also goes into the record.
So here's, here's a little tip of how I work when I'm, when I'm
looking at C span type stuff. If I have not seen it live, then I
will always go in and I will read the written records, and
everything is handed. And it's easy, because you know, then you
can kind of scan through and I'm good at this. This is what I do.
I can look at spreadsheets and pick stuff out. I don't know
what it's like a neural networking thing. I can do it.
And I'm like, oh my god, this is some amazing other. I can't
believe you said this. So like, I gotta go get the watch the
video. And this is just his opening statement. And he skips
some very important pieces that are in the written testimony
which I will gladly read for you. But first, listen to him
just as opening salvo of how dire the situation is in Syria.
We also share Israel's
sorrow. Wow. Such a great great wind up
leaving in totally in the pitch the wind up and timeout
Crikey. I really
screwed that up. Here we go limited. So I'm going to keep my
remarks quite brief. As you noted, Mr. Chairman, what
started out as a peaceful demand.
a bookkeeper. What is he talks like this.
Just listen to what
he says for dignity and freedom has turned instead to a
devastating conflict with a horrific human toll. Syrians
face a new level of ruthlessness from the Assad regime, which is
raining Scud missiles
into RAM and Scud missiles. Hallelujah rains rains. Good.
What is he says sous chefs.
That's the that was the first thing that I read. I'm like, Oh,
good. He said
that down on residential neighborhoods, bombing
hospitals, bombing schools, and sending out its thugs into
streets to terrorize and arrest fellow citizens. More than
70,000 Syrians now
Okay, so this is where he skips a whole part and like, Oh, this
is the part I wanted to have. So allow me to read the written
part. Syrians Syrians face a new level of ruthlessness from the
Assad regime, which is raining Scud missiles down on the
residential neighborhoods, destroying hospitals and schools
and sending its thugs rampaging through the streets to terrorize
their fellow citizens. The carnage is appalling. For
instance, we have heard that some Syrian parents who still
send their children to school now stitch their child's name on
school uniforms that makes it easier to identify the bodies.
Oh,
I'm like, why did we say that?
Macro.
Leave that. And he's only left that out.
Oh, that's officially on the record.
There it is. So then, I could play more of his boring, boring
speech. But let me put the more pieces that he didn't mention.
So here's what we've done so far. Do you want me to do the
accent or just real
actions? You do it? You're not on the money with it. But it's
funny enough.
We supplied approximately 5000 pieces of equipment, including
communications gear, to enable activists to coordinate their
efforts. Some activists use these tools to organize a free
lawyers union, which now coordinates with the local
council for the governor, Governor it of Daraa and has
taken responsibility for Legal Affairs within the local
council. Now we boosted signals, extending the reach of broadcast
on FM stations and funded media outlets. We then we use
the list decided to test Yes, yes. It's all in the written
test. Yes. Yes. Which nobody read? No. Except us our show.
Yes. Then we use those media platforms to address sectarian
violence and issue public service messages on chemical
weapons exposure. Ah, so they are he's admitting psychological
warfare, of taking over the boosting the FM signals,
whatever. FM. Yeah, right. And then funding the media outlets
funding the media outlets. Right. That is an act of war.
Well, let's go sounds like they took over the radio station.
Yeah. And we've started pushing
and this records got to go It's time for 24/7 Lady Gaga right
here on Radio Freedom. Ask us here in the moment everybody.
telling you we could do that we could do radio free Damascus. We
should listen. We should do
getting more money.
Everybody good morning. Damascus. How you doing? It's
cracked button buzz kill. Hey, how about that Scott rain last
night? Hey, Johnny, Johnny Boy. Tammy. Did you catch that rain
of scones last night?
It was raining like cats and dogs. We are on a roll. It's my
friend dark tie.

And why are we the best because somebody actually reads the
Congressional Record all the work that takes
Yeah, it's and boy, it was so tiring to do? No. Actually, all
it takes is a system we have quite a system. Oh, by the way,

Service. A free service to you, courtesy of producer Dave Jones
of course he was making this system. This river thing he
carts so awesome.
Yeah, it's amazing actually. We do have some executive producers
to thank for today's show, which is 497497 and
I've seen firsthand how much power the executive producers
have on set. Very powerful They get their own chair with their
name on it.
They have a chair with a name on it.
Oh yeah. Oh yeah.
I love the name on the chair and so and I love flimsy wooden
chair with a back that's made out of cloth. Yeah, but it comes
down to take the name thing off and put a different one on their
room. Yeah, but
it comes with a guy who opens it for you on puts it down and
they've got catered food while they're on set. Oh, pigs in a
blanket. Pretty good. Yeah, pigs in a blanket.
It's in a blanket. Yeah. How could you How could you use the
same say pretty good and then follow that up with pigs in a
blanket?
I liked it. It was nice. And and little petite fours. Little you
know, rolled up salami things cheese and I was lousy. Yeah,
they will. Yeah, I guess it was the guy was wearing blue gloves
though. So it made me feel hygenic
Yeah, well after they spit on it. These actors have
executive producer, this
is your executive producer right here. Mr. Jenkins.
Not our executive producers. Boy let me tell you we do not we do
not spit on their food.
No, because there are executive producers who produce yes
Massimo con Teneo and Queensland. The town of Noosa
33333 like to dedicate this no agenda Dame hood to my wife
Suzanne got a dame another night here. He she enjoys the show as
much as I do which is a good thing. So ladies first
wow so he's he's he is donations are at knighthood level but he's
giving the knighthoods first
knighthood to his wife. That's Dame dame. Suzanne.
That is real love.
And he's in ITM followed by a shot at karma? Absolutely. You
bet. You've got karma.
Very nice, Massimo. Thank you. So I got a question because, you
know, you send out the newsletter, which got a lot of
response. As you know, we have now expanded the Empire and we
have all these different levels. Yeah. believe we'll be talking
about that later in the donation segment as we some people go
into barony, I think the Baron we have moves into
it goes right to the top, straight to the top. He went
straight to the top. He's now Grand Duke Grand Duke. Somebody
pointed out to me that he's been so in one of the emails said
that he is so well known as Baron, that he might want to
think about calling himself Grand Duke Baron.
Ooh, well he has the power to do that. Well, I
believe that all the Dukes then there's there'd be good there'll
be three categories that Duke Duke arch Duke and Grand Duke I
believe that there's they should be seen as like army generals
and they can basically call themselves whatever they want.
Yes, and they
can make or whatever they were whatever they may make their own
uniform. I liked the request to someone sent his they thought
you know, it'd be cool to hang a poster of Grand Duke Barron vest
even Vaughn Pels mockers Steven bells mockers in his full
regalia in his in their office you know that we should have
like an ad buy you know I've seen pictures
of me He does look a little like Henry the seventh wouldn't have
fallen there ermine around the red all these metals and stuff
hanging is that Henry the seventh or the eighth? Well,
Henry the eighth is is a horrible person.
He was not a good guy. But
he would be something like that or I think if you really want to
go overboard and really gaudy yourself up and make you look
like a complete buffoon. You could look like General Petraeus
with it and by the way, the new guy the new chief of staff know
that what's his name the little Irish guy it's it's so he's
looking for leprechauns. And he's dead. Wrong fall join
chief. Anyway, the Joint Chief he's also wears a little name
tag. That's got his name on it like portray Is God really guys?
We know who you are. You don't need a hello I'm you run a show
and you get a little little name, Bakelite name tag. That's
so lame.
Let's move onward.

to thank all these executive producers for helping us in show
497 And one and remind everybody we got three shows left before
the 500 fish episode have no agenda. It's an amazing moment
ever. I mean, how many people go that long with any of these
anything actually, and reminds you to go to
divorce.org/nhl.org.com/any? No agenda show.com or no agenda
nation.com where you can find a donate button if you look around
long enough. And is
the store back open as Eric Havis things is the
constitution. We should
be pushing Okay, I'm gonna I'm gonna be quiet about it. But
people should go to no agenda, nation calm and see what he's
got. And also, go ahead. I'm just saying you can go there and
see it. He'll keep you updated there on the site, I'm sure.
And also thank you very much Nick the rant for the artwork in
Episode Four, nine or six good work. The we have the big 500
show coming up all of the art can be seen at no agenda art
generator.com. That's where you can contribute as well. There
was a an episode 500 art that you're very angry about John
that it's gone. The Indie. What's the indie art? What was
it?
No, no, it was the Daytona 500 piece. It was a it was a mockery
of the Daytona five or NASCAR race and it was an art piece
that disappeared because I always had it as the one we were
going to use. And then I go back to the art gentleman. It's gone.
It's gone. It's gone. So I maybe did maybe one of our guys had
run that site. Got a note from NASCAR. Oh, that's our logo.
permission. Oh, you
know what I think happened. Apparently someone saw something
and said something. Thank you, Brian. Thank you, Brian. Thank
you, Brian.
Somebody saw something and said something
You say something devora.org/and
A That's right it's a jingle Bonanza here on the Good morning
Damascus show go on propagator formula formula
is this we go out we had people in the mouth
need to in the morning in Arabic to complete our I don't have it.
We've got French, German, Chinese Spanish. We need to we
need Arabic. Oh, by the way. Hello drone nation. Did you Did
you hear the big news? This is extremely big news to more
territory terrorists have been added to the Rewards for Justice
program. And these again, two Americans. Omar Shafiq Hammami,
formerly of Alabama and Jihad sir Juan Mustafa, formerly of
California are now each worth $5 million if you can provide
information that will lead to their arrest Now, the thing that
is incredibly interesting is that one of these two gentlemen
I believe the is it Shafiq Hammami is also known as the
rapping jihadi. Yeah, it's not you have a clip? Yes, we do. Why
I'm not so I'm happy you requested because here is our
production.
This is it year by year. Living in field, day by day, spreading
out over the place, month by month, year by year, keeping
them kaphas Living fees. It all started
out in Afghanistan, when we fight the oppressor straight off
the land. unichrome crumbled. And
what made the pounds withdrawn?
Yes, I'll sign him on the spot. So he believed that the guy
should be this should up to 10 million just to remove all this
crap from YouTube is terrible. So but I think what happened is
they need to jazz it up a little bit. Because you know, it's kind
of losing steam. No one really cares about, you know, American.
And we already went through Anwar al aulaqi Boring. The
other guy didn't work out so well but now they've got the
wrapping jihadi. So this should you know, I can just see the
meeting. And we need to kind of up the profile of American
jihadist so we can drone them overseas. But we need to like
get the we need to reach a new audience and got any ideas,
John?
Yeah, I think what we have to do is we got to hit the hip hop
artist, and we got to hit him hard. We got to hit him hard
with something that's, you know that something that kids go for
it. You know, that hip hop thing, so I got an idea. Why
don't we just dub him the rapping? Because I think rapping
meets hip hop. I don't know. I can't keep up with it. But the
hip hop Jehan, hottie will do love
it. Love it. Love it. Say that again. What did I just hop?
jehadi I love it. No, wait, no. How about the yet Hip Hop Jehan,
I'm liking this very good,
good. And then we will be able to just record some stuff. We
can do it ourselves. I have GarageBand. And how hard can it
be? This crap stinks. I
think my son knows how to do that. He's got GarageBand we can
ask him to do it to lay down some tracks some b We'll put it
on YouTube. That's what they say. These days. The kids they
talk about laying down some beats.
If they're gonna lay down some tracks and beat nothing is beats
and
then they lead on some beats and we do a joint yo, and what's
your what? When is it drop? JCD when do we drop this shit? Yeah,
there's shizzle but that's the meeting ladies and gentlemen.
That would
be the meeting something like that. There probably be about
five people and and two of them be women. For What's
that supposed to mean?
I don't know. I just do it and just sounded
good. Yeah. However, you know, I just want to get back to
President Obama. Because he did us a pretty good word. It was a
real Shut up slave moment. If this air anywhere on television.
Did people talk about this? Or is this only us that saw this?
It was I didn't see it until it I didn't see it either.
So here's here's a question that that got that got an interesting
response. And there was a follow up here we go. From the White
House press corps Matt spittle, Nick of Reuters. The reason is
spokes Hall Carney says that so that both Oh Obama and Netanyahu
can look down at their crib sheet to know what question is
coming. Exactly. But I think Reuters, you know, played a
little bit off script on this one.
There was some friendly banter between you two gentlemen on the
tarmac today about red lines. And I'm wondering how much of a
serious matter that actually became in said
already chuckling. Red Line. Well,
your talks and will be in the talks to your talks to come
tonight. President Obama has said it will take Iran at least
a year to build a bomb. That's months longer than Prime
Minister believes this much
longer than that fuse on that drawing you held up Bibi?
Mr. President? Are you asking the Prime Minister to be more
patient to hold off for at least a year on any kind of military
action against Iran? Mr. Prime Minister has the President
Obama's words, have they convinced you of that he is
putting forth the credible military threat that you have
repeatedly asked for. And that that doesn't need to go further.
So the basic question is simple. And I and it's kind of edited
the whole thing out because they basically no answer comes. But
the question is, hey, President Obama says, looks like there's
gonna have, they're gonna have a bomb within the year. This is a
lot shorter than that fuse you showed now I want to just
intercept or interject really quickly. What the President our
president,
I think he said it was longer. No, no, I
want to play exactly what the President said, because words do
matter.
And finally, we continued our close consultation on Iran. We
agree that a nuclear armed Iran would be a threat to the region,
a threat to the world and potentially an existential
threat to Israel. And we agree on our goal. We do not
hold on, we agree on our goal. What is the goal? What does
everyone think the goal is?
Well, I think the goal is to find some bogus excuse so we can
bomb the place.
But then listen to what he did the actual word he uses.
We do not have a policy of containment when it comes to a
nuclear Iran. Our policy is to prevent Iran from acquiring a
nuclear weapon acquiring a
nuclear weapon. This is new.
No, I'm not. I'm not convinced of that. I think he's used this
terminology before acquiring
in nowhere in this entire meeting, does he talk about
building is only about acquiring a nuclear weapon. I could be
wrong, but I just wanted to point it out. Anyway, I
know what you're what you're saying. And I think it's
interesting.
Well, let's let's go back
here and of course, would would imply the buying and buy one
from Pakistan, North Korea, who they're trying to North Korea as
to what is the one operation they're trying to demonize, and
in fact, I have just this is just a short clip. It's got
nothing to do with this meeting. But it's just an example of
anything you can do to demonize
I know, let me guess, the hacker.
Yeah, play
major South Korean banks and broadcasters at a standstill
today after their computer systems were paralyzed and what
appears to be a cyber attack, possibly from North Korea. South
Korean authorities are investigating the hack. No, I
got oh crap,
I got a better clip. I got a better clip about that. Listen
to this. It gets so much this is the BBC who got the memo and the
memo was okay we're shutting down the TV stations we're gonna
turn off the ATS make it look like it's a hack so you guys
gotta make it up. Not do good job. Okay, you're I know you're
the BBC but you don't have you don't have journalistic
integrity. Screw them just make some crap up.
That South Korea is currently investing career
here, South Korea, South Korea as opposed to my future career
or my diarrhea
that South Korea is currently investigating a suspected cyber
attack. After the computer networks of several major
organizations seem to have become paralyzed, paralyzed this
country's biggest broadcasters and the banks are among them.
networks have been frozen
frozen the networks have been frozen is lightly tuned to cold
onto the wire in the network's amazing amazing it's amazing
just
yet of who or what is this
BBC News be responsible for could be responsible.
Let's go live now to the South Korean capital Seoul and
signal end of the debt down the network's
unfrozen Williamson
and Lucy tell us more about this. When did it happen?
Lucy what bullcrap Have you been told to say with a gun to your
head? And
how did people first observe that their systems had crashed?
Oh, the system crashed
and I observed the computer was not working and as usual crap
piece of shit. Oh, hello.
We have a delay happened around 2pm local time and it happens
simultaneously. Three of the country's biggest broadcast how
many broadcasters are there is the biggest or the smaller ones
that were not affected.
KBS MBC, and YT n, it also hit two banks, Shinhan Bank and non
bank, it didn't last very long Shut up at least got its systems
back a couple of hours later. But the fact that it was a
simultaneous attack the fact that it turned out all the staff
computers, for example, at one of those broadcasters, is making
people very suspicious about the fact that there may be a hacking
attempt populated. So maybe suspiciously, the staff at some
of those TV channels was saying that their computers simply
crashed at 2pm. And when they tried to get back online, the
computers wouldn't respond. And there have been confirmed
reports that some people saw skulls and messages, perhaps
from a hacking organization appear on those screens. But as
skulls John
goes on the screen. They could they were they everything froze,
they wouldn't work. And we couldn't bring them back up.
Because there were skulls on the screen
say that last bit of information is unconfirmed, as yet,
skulls on has
given the the state of relations with the North, which are
particularly bad at the moment that North Korea has been seen
as the possible culprit, possible culprits
couldn't be
less so. So does anybody on this report, by the way, which is a
clip of the day.
Candidate candidate candidate Yeah. Is
anybody there? asked a simple question is, it's curious that
North Korea, which have probably the lowest number of computers
per capita, no internet connectivity to speak of, except
for maybe a few government officials, somehow in this in
this dark ages of computer dumb in this backward country, that
they would be able to create a melee a computer network mess.
They they froze the computer last chip, for example,
can't do it. This is unbelievable to me.
Well, yes, this is why I clipped this because I'm listening to
this report. And I mean, you know, North Korea is so
backwards in their computing. If you ever go there, you know,
they'll be like, Oh my God, there's the guy from the DAS
telecommunications book, there'll be a superhero in North
Korea.
This would be like, I mean, it's unbelievable that this report,
why don't they suggest anybody? They weren't they suggest? If it
was me, I would ask the question, maybe it's some local
hacker who made the mistake of releasing it to his neighbors.
First of all, we now have to assume that the only way this
could really happen and I unless South Korea still runs on
Windows 95. Could be or NT 3.1, where you had member the blue
screen of death, we could basically send a pack a thing.
They're pretty advanced. And yeah, of course they are. But
I'm just saying that's about the only thing I could imagine. And
then to actually have to do this via the network have a skull up
here on the screen, this head would have to be a virus, this
would have to be a distributed virus that was timed to go off
on certain moment. But there's no talk of the virus. This is a
hack, hack, attack. And just listen to the rest is just this
thing is BBC News. Jobs me BBC News. Here we go.
Speculation is certainly focused in that direction. At the
moment, the investigation is of course, in its very early
stages. And so no one's really coming out and saying, oh,
whether they believe there was foul play here or not where it
might have come from, but certainly in the wider public,
the wider society here. North Korea is the focus of that
speculation is believed to have been behind some major hacking
successes here in the past, accessing both government
websites, financial websites, big
deal. I mean, to access a website, excuse me,
access to a website, just access the way actually accessed access
a website that was meant to I don't know, serve information to
my web browser.
North Koreans have got the ability to somehow type in a
URL, no. Site
Unbeliev unbeliever these North Koreans, I gotta call uncle Don
about this right now.
Oh, yeah, he's at risk.
A major newspaper here. And of course tensions are particularly
high on the peninsula at the moment. So yes, many people are
beginning to speculate that that's that's a potential source
of this disruption.
Yes, speculate a legend. A skull skull. Oh, although I'm not sure
that actually happen. So anyway, long story. Now we're back
around my God, where were we we're back to Obama and Bibi
Netanyahu, ignoring the question about the time difference, or
the acquisition of the of a nuclear nuclear device by Iran
and And versus the the ticking time bomb with a fuse about to
explode that the Prime Minister of Israel held up in the United
Nations. Yeah, I mean that was that is of course the far
the low point of of a PowerPoint presentation. It was a printed
black board that was written out with a sharpie wasn't even done
professionally.
No color. I mean there was no sparks and it was very, very
poor. It was wily coyote beta. Oh, point nine. Thank you. Thank
you.
All right, we want you to take a first look
at this first of all I'm so he literally just told the
president to a and he looks at BB so anyway, why don't you take
he
hands it to him? Yeah, funny the way he did that. When I saw that
question. I said well, he's gonna answer no, no, he get he
shifted it moved and use
a golfing term or a baseball term depending on which one you
want to say why don't you take a swing at this I guess that's it
would be a
Burnham it would be golfing because he can't even throw a
baseball. So let's get right to that.
You know, there's so many strips of different colors on the
tarmac. We got a, we did have a joke about that. But obviously
this matter is no joke.
So they had a joke. Apparently, the writers came in, but I guess
they tossed it out. They had a joke about the tarmac and the
red lines and how it will be crossed. But the writers you
know, they just didn't come through. So they didn't like it.
So they tossed it out. But BB makes the biggest mistake you
can make as a stand up comedian, which is to say you had a joke,
which was funny, but
you there is this joke. I almost told and I'm not
going to tell you the joke very, very unprofessional
relates to our very existence into something also that the
President correctly identifies as a grave strategic threat to
the United States, and to the peace and security of the world.
I'm absolutely convinced.
Now we're gonna cut to ego goes eat drones on. And then he hands
it back to Obama who drones on something that
he said, which, by opening remarks, the Jewish people have
come back to their own country to the beat the masters of their
own fate,
right, I cut through Obama
indicates that in the world wars,
this is now five minutes after the question, which is just
answered the question.
Basically, does filibustering by just being slow talk? Or play
on words are what Ronald Reagan said we can't even trust you
much less verify. But we do have to test test the proposition
that this can be resolved diplomatically. And if it can't,
then I've repeated to Bibi what I've said, basically, and that
is that we will leave all options on the table then
resolving
your assessment. Here is basically the question is asked
once again. Yeah, but is it going to be a year or not? One
Israel, and then, Mr. President, so they basically shut him up,
and like, go away? And he's not. And so the question was not not
only not answered after it was asked the first time, but the
second time they turn the guy's mic off and shut him up. At
which point what's his name? Todd, Todd, Todd, Todd, Chip,
Todd, Chuck, chip,
chip, chuck, chuck, Chip, whatever they came in and re re
asked the question, the second the follow up to the other guy
and says he did so and then Obama makes a huge joke out of
those. And I'm
gonna follow up a little bit on the peace process. you began
your term, your first term, big fanfare, Cairo speech to talk to
the Muslim oral, the the decision to have a Middle East
envoy early, you said you weren't going to let this slip
to your second term. We're in your second term with Mideast
peace process. What went wrong? Why are we further away from a
two state solution? I know you said you want to talk more about
this tomorrow. But I'm curious to what do you believe went
wrong? Did you push Israel too hard? What do you what do you
wish you would have done differently? And, Mr. Prime
Minister, I want to help out my colleague over here, and the
follow up that he had which had to do with you except the
Presidents understood understanding that Iran is a
year away when it comes to nuclear weapons. And then the
question another question I have for you. Why do you come
from the Israeli press? You say you get one question and then
you're Hey,
were you a hole? A hole? Are you late? Do you guys have a holes
here like Chuck chicory? This is crazy. You get one question, one
question.
He's not asked two questions. By the way,
let me pull Meanwhile, Miss Goody goody two shoes over here.
You see how the young lady from channel one? She had one
question.
That's right. And she's sexy.
She's very well behaved.
Very well behaved, very well behaved.
She's like that's the most. He's well well behaved.
Good slave lead. Very good one for you.
These are muted questions.
Tell muted questions. Okay, BB is gonna throw some some
religious humor that I missed that. Oh, wait, but you did tell
me. But again, but now. So the Tom music thing is like what but
then he bombs on his next line?
I thought I had for a couple days, I get four questions.
This is not a kosher question, but don't hog it. Oh.
I guess I think is enough of this.
Well, I just want to hear the word that the President uses.
22nd. I said
to you what's going to be why do you believe the Israeli people
have not embraced President Obama the same way they embraced
our last two US presidents? Thank you.
So you have to get a polling question in their resume.
Incorrigible there, it is incorrigible, John, what does
incorrigible mean? Means a juvenile delinquent. That's
right means you are an aihole, who does not behave in class,
you cannot be corrected. So you will have to go to the
correction center. Now, of course, the most important
meeting is taking a call on for a while. No, no. The most
important
meeting LD bucks you won't we won't see. chip, chip chip
chips. Chip is the other guy. Chuck Todd, Todd, Todd, Todd.
Chuck.
So the most important meeting the President will have in Asia,
hell is taking place today. Do you know what this meeting is?
This is no I did. In fact, Todd, I think mentioned I
bet you don't know at all about this meeting like people
always just don't want to where he's going up to he's leaving
and going someplace else. Yeah, that's the
one. On Wednesday, Barack Obama is arriving in Israel. And among
all the high ranking government officials he's going to be
introduced to is going to be a 21 year old girl from Natalia,
who is personally invited by the President. We of course are
talking about the most beautiful woman in Israel for 2013 Miss
Israel tt i in our
TTI on our
channel, Todd, Chuck, Chuck Todd,
the President requested a meeting with Mrs. McConnell.
Let me get this straight. Our president who's got better
things to do than carouse with beauty content? By the way,
she's What does he think? He thinks he's Donald Trump.
Listen, she
is she's black. She's not not born in Israel. She's an
immigrant but she's and she's, and she's, she's beautiful.
What's your name again? Let's TT look at TT
TT just missed these kryo TT
we caught up with her in this exclusive chain one interview
about how it feels to get ready to meet her biggest role model.
It's hard to believe that less than a month ago no one knew who
tt was like immediate the newly crowned Miss Israel has become a
huge celebrity not only in her native Israel, but
internationally as well. It's
not her native Israel. That's the thing. I'm where she from.
Well, you find it interesting. She
is she's gorgeous. Yeah. To say the least. She looks a little
bit like one of his I mean, vaguely like one of his
daughters actually, which is kind of sick if you think about
it very twist, but this is very suspicious.
Oh, really? I thought I had that it was my turn to wear the
tinfoil hat. What are you talking about? Very suspicious.
There's no reason for this meeting that that that makes any
sense unless it's some sort of
well, it's a PR thing for something. Maybe she's the
target maybe she's gonna get hit.
Now.
So what's the deal with her what's what's the background on
her? Um, she's an Ethiopian Jew.
She's an Ethiopian Jew.
So right here. Ethiopian Jew wins Miss Israel contest. Trisha
is from Ethiopia. She's beautiful.
She's a very good looking woman. This is ridiculous that he's
doing this that's going on.
Obama has heard about her and decided that he wants to meet
her.
I'm very nervous to meet him. He's president of USA he's a
huge man and
that's the reason he's a huge man Meanwhile, back at home the
little little children of America are angry at the
President is so angry there's they're angry. She kinda
sellers like The rest of her classmates helped fundraisers to
come up with a $300 each of them needed for the trip. Do you
understand what's going on here? I mean, why this is happening?
Yes. Because Obama don't want to invite him to see his beautiful
house
that sounds CNN
Yeah, that was they weren't really embarrassing they play
this Ms. Israel thing up a little more. In fact, here's the
headline of y NET News. I think it's from Israel itself. The
headline is Miss Israel prepares for Obama date.
Right now. And Michelle is Michelle along for the ride.
Don't think she's along for the ride is she? She's gonna
be you're gonna be pissed off. Yeah, there's gonna be hell to
pay when she finds out what's going on. So it's not good. You
know? I'm only gonna be a president for a few more years.
And after that I'm dumping my wife.
Why should bill get all the goods? Why she still have all
the white guy who gets Although, honestly, I
urge you Ethiopian girls are hungry all the time.
That's the show opener ladies and gentlemen, let me just ping
the time wanting to I hear your Ethiopian girls are hungry all
the time. That's real. That's really good, John. That's really
I should be slapped. Yeah, so anyway. Are we done with this?
This this time duck? Yeah, well, the whole reason for this junk
is to meet this chick seems to me
like what I gotta get what I gotta go talk to that BB that
nut job who was like that guy? I hate that guy. We all know is
like and Valerie Jarrett's like, okay, look, I know we can do
Hey, look at this Ethiopian chick.
I have kind of a you know, she's
she's she lived. She lived in a country and you're next door to
where you were born.
Just up the road,
up the road from you. She's your people. Oh, God. And this, by
the way is the entire reason why commercials will not work on
this program. The best podcast in the universe.
Fine people. Yeah, we make. We have we have our way of saying
things. To the mainstream.
That's actually not acceptable to a lot of people.
To a lot of our listeners. As a matter of fact.
Let me give you an example. I was gonna save this for
donation, but I can do it early. Since we're talking about it.
This is a someone sent this to me. I think it's from OSH. It's
from Illinois. I believe a radio station. And the guy is doing a
news report about these about the Ag Gag. You've heard about
the Ag gags so I don't know anything about the egg gags you
don't know about the egg gags NO, I
don't know about the egg gag. So
let me play you a little thing about the egg gags and then
you'll understand so the story here this this is from I think
Russia today just a little bit to give you some background on
the Ag Gag
called Ag Gag laws.
Sorry, it's a good guy gloves.
60s have already passed them. These laws would make it illegal
to take photographs or record video and farming operations. Ag
Gag laws prevent independent groups from conducting
investigations into issues are exposing potential illegality.
Now you remember what these are? Right. So it's the outline the
possession and use of a clandestine camera anywhere near
a farm, essentially, so that you can't go into the chicken coop
shaggy
Russia. Yeah, yeah. What what's the problem? Why would the any
law such law be passed?
Well, because the B obviously there's there's gambling going
on in there. Something we're mistreating the animals and it's
not even that is you look at the package and you see the happy
smiling cow. And then you see the cow with the big port with
like the feed port jammed into his side that can't stand on its
own two legs, and it makes you not want to buy meat. So this is
a problem. So the Ag Gag comes up in a new story on the
station. And these are two guys like I think it might be a
morning show or afternoon show. It's a talk talk radio station.
And one guy just jumps in to stop the story but he kind of
makes it worse.
Boeing however, is not alone. The meat and poultry industry
they have some money to buy their own way as well. So
there's an undercover video comes out shows cows struggling
to stay in as their product to the slaughterhouse via forklift.
The point of this being most cows later because they were
diseased led to a Big Beef recall. Also, the same thing
happened in the poultry industry. So what have they
decided to do in about eight different states? They want to
make it illegal to take photographs and farming
operations long shorter, but it says hey, the meat industry
spends a lot of money here with us. So it's not that you're
reporting abuses is that these abuses lead to recalls. So what
we'll do is just say, you can't take pictures of it and you
yeah I think the hotline one like shot up and he actually
says guy
that one guy play that beginning again that one that one of the
two guys that guy sounds enough like Obama naturally
oh really
that may if you think about it that may be your you always need
some insight into an if you're gonna mimic somebody that's hard
to mimic like Obama. Yeah, but even though you have part of it,
this play just listen for Obama when you hear that just the
beginning of a few 10 seconds.
Rolling however, is not alone the meat and poultry industry
they have some money to buy their own way as well. It's a
little
little over the top, but I hear what you're saying. Hi,
everybody. I'm coming to you from Israel. What I'm about to
make td td is from Ethiopia
TD is asking
well, she's well well behaved,
you might be able to get it eventually.
By the time it takes press the time Hillary's in an office.
Yeah, nailed it.
So Rhonda, I kind of ran into an interesting clip and I want to
talk to you about this because this is when you guys started
talking about this. I thought I thought to myself this is
interesting because I not to mention it. We are walking
around with the little radios, receivers and transmitters with
us all the time on our phone as opposed to our it's Yeah, and
play commotion networks. And I just want this a three parter
here that these clips are little long because I'm talking too
much. That's good. But there's there's we've played these clips
for a while. And then I got the kicker which I go this is real
interesting,
like shutting down the internet. Well, this week, the software he
helped launch will launch here in the United States. It's
called commotion wireless, you can download the program on your
cell phone or laptop computer in order to create what's called a
mesh network that allows you to share Internet access with our
devices on the network. It's this so called peer to peer
communication can also challenge the centralized business model
and control of internet service providers to talk more about
commotion wireless.net, and its implications for participatory
democracy here in the US and around the world. We're joined
by Sascha meinrath, director of the New America Foundation's
Open Technology Institute. He's also speaking today here at the
freedom to connect conference. Welcome to Democracy Now. So
what is it that you are releasing?
So what we're releasing is software that repurchases
available hardware, cell phones, laptops, etc, to allow them to
communicate directly with one another. So in addition to
needing cell phone unlocking, we really want these technologies
to be liberated in the same way that our personal computers can
connect to, say, a network inside your home or office, we
want to expand that to encompass an entire community, a
neighborhood, even an entire So explain exactly how it works. So
you download software onto these devices. And in the same way
that you connect to say a Wi Fi access point or hotspot, they
can communicate with one another. So imagine a spider web
of connectivity whereby communications can happen over
large distances, and across a lot of different devices. Okay,
I'm gonna hold on. I already don't trust it.
Well, well, it's better. Okay. Yeah, no, I don't trust it
either. But and there's a couple of issues they never bring up.
One of them is that the light that the frequencies used by a
cell phone or licensed frequencies are not like Wi Fi,
which is a public domain frequency. megahertz
gig gigahertz Baba Baba. But he's, I believe, looking at the
website, commotion wireless.net, they're talking about activating
the Wi Fi, a portion of your phone, not the end, perhaps even
Bluetooth, not the actual cell and the cell network part.
website. And by the way, if you go go to the bottom of it and
click on download, you get a web page you'll
get you'll get a skull on your screen. If you click on download
download thing at the very bottom. And it didn't it brings
up a screen with a bunch of warnings. It doesn't do this. It
doesn't do that you can't use not secure all the stuff that
he's not saying.
You cannot hide your identity does not prevent monitoring of
internet traffic does not provide strong security against
monitoring over the mesh can be jammed with radio data
interference.
So but anyway, but it's still it's still intriguing. And I
like the idea and we'll play part two and then we'll kind of
get to the real what's really interesting about this, how
do you how do you launch this? You're just putting it on your
website?
Sure. Well, we've been developing these technologies
for about a dozen years now all sorts freely available, and
we're making them available freely via the project website,
as well as via any other means for transporting software. So
any cell phone, any laptop that has the software can be used to
virally update other devices and spread the communication. So
we're
talking phones computers. Now talk about how this all derived.
So go back in time.
So the background for this project is back a dozen years
ago, before the decade before occupy there was another global
justice uprising within the United States what it is large
scale protests pending and what it is it is, you covered it
quite well here on democracy. Now, what did they tell us what
it is, during those protests, it became very clear that
surveillance, monitoring of Communications for the United
States was pretty heavily undertaken by law enforcement.
And a lot of us came up with the notion that we what we really
needed was a secure mechanism for communicating here in the
US, that would not be surveilled and monitored. And that was the
genesis of the project it is now in many ways,
this is this is sanctioned by the State Department is John F.
Kerry in charge of this, what's going on? This is
like clip three.
So first, it's activist challenging the state, and then
the State Department funds, what they have developed, and the
project that you are involved with are dissidents overseas.
See, the functioning of this technology been incredibly
useful for spreading participatory democracy around
the globe? And their focus is very much on how do we
accelerate the development that's been happening now
worldwide for the past dozen years.
So explain how it's used in places like Egypt. And what does
it mean, in this
case? The Internet,
I was gonna set it to interrupt your clip, I was gonna say
internet in a suitcase. And
being able to still communicate your calls locally, even if the
cell towers are off, is really paramount. that use case is
something that the technology actually helps solve. So in an
Egyptian sort of scenario, if you're in Tahrir Square, you
would still be able to communicate, you would still
need to make phone calls, you'd still be able to send text
messages. In essence, you'd still be able to organize and
share information in real time. Across the local folks that are
there. Yeah,
we get it anything else in the last 15 seconds here now? Given?
Good, Good work, good work was apparently
WTO protests. A bunch of guys got together. This sucks,
because they've been listening in and they knew we were going
to do and they arrested bill. And so then they came up and had
a meeting and said, You know what we can do? I got some
ideas, man, we got like these, you know, the phone does have a
radio in it. So I started working on it. And then they got
obviously got nowhere no
funding, no funding, Sequoia Kleiner passed, everybody passed
on it. Yeah. So the State
Department comes along, they turn the whole thing over to the
NSA. And the next thing, you know, they got this thing. And
now you can download it very complicated. It only works on an
Android, if you first you got to crack the Android. You have to
route it, then you got to route it. And it's like this is
impractical. And you'd have to have like a critical mass of
people to make it useful. Because you can have a mesh
network with two people. It's just I'm
also thinking now that I'm this is the internet in a suitcase.
That crapping working over there. No one's using this. I
don't even believe it's in anyone installed in Egypt that
would like what I can't get it through Android Play. I have fun
interested in there. My phone.
techie nerds is ridiculous. I thought it was a really
interesting idea. And I think there's still some potential for
an illegal it would have to do it right, you'd use the cell
phone frequencies. Right now let's just assume there's no
towers, and the cell phones would just talk to each other,
which is doable. In but you would have to rig the phone to
do it. It would be a nice little two way communications.
This whole thing is so stupid when you have the prepper radio
series you've got the prepper SDR you know it. This is
full of both fingers that we have open your bow finger
sorry, it's cheaper than a phone and they have better
cheaper. They're like 35 bucks cost nothing
cheaper and they're better. Mike, why don't they go in that
direction instead of this sounds? This whole thing is just
like a misdirection instead of getting people involved in ham
radio and things.
Thank you. Ham radio is where it's at people let me tell you
that right now. That's where it's at.
I think it is.
I'm also so you know, I'm I'm so well we'll talk about it all the
time. But anyway, I'm very excited because you're getting
these things into production man.
You I know your device. Yeah, well, I
have I have a whole line. I have a whole line of devices now. I
just went nuts on it. So there's also prepper CW, this one and
this is the one for you. This is the one that you're going to I'm
going to gift you the first version
is prepper CW FB prepper
CW prepper CW is it's beautiful. See? Do you know that you know
an AGA in in the UK? We've talked about this right the
British stove. The Agha?
Yeah, that's the stove that you like. Yeah. So UK stove is from
Sweden. Right not mistake but
they use it in the UK. So you know the red Agha? You know,
that metal that it's made of? And that finish that it has?
Yeah, it's enameled finish and it's made out of? That's
that's that's what the prepper CW is going to be made of?
It's going to be made out of pot metal or whatever. Yes. Yeah,
it's gonna be indestructible.
Yeah, what foundries around they can make that around here. Well,
China
Get me some radioactive that China metal.
Yeah, make sure to check with the Geiger counter. Yeah, it
comes over. Hey, let's say oh, yes, please. Yep. One I got one
segment of drunk or not drunk me. Oh, fantastic. While boy Oh,
boy. So I want you to hit the buzzer. We met we need we need a
jingle for this. I know we do need drunk or not drunk. And
this is Al Franken in the Senate.
I as a senator but yeah, drunk. Said I'm chairman of the
Subcommittee on privacy technology and the law. And this
sort of seems like it could have been this hearing could have
been held in that subcommittee. I'm glad we did as the whole
No, no, no, I'm taking it back. At this point. I don't think
he's drunk. Let's hear the resume.
This is a perfect example of why I believe there is I would
characterize the Constitution is a living Constitution.
Whoa. You mean like we can just change it willy nilly like a
will
rounders. I think it'd be fair to say, probably didn't
anticipate this. They didn't anticipate the phone. And that's
why, at a certain point, we had to decide whether phone taps are
a violation of the Fourth Amendment. Okay, I
take it back. He's not drunk. He's high clearly.
And that had that really came down to people's expectation of
privacy. And that's kind of a big part of what we're talking
about here. Today.
But and then he pukes all over himself drunk. Yeah, drunk. I
think he's convinced I met but maybe high. I think a high
maybe? Yeah, I think I think no, I
don't think so. I think he's because you're in Washington DC,
you get a lot of drinks. People are drinking and eating and
drinking and drinking and drinking. But it's so I do have
one more clip from him. It's not from him. It's about drones.
This was a, this was a, I guess one of the senators put this
hearing together. And it ended up with everybody saying to bits
and leaving so so he is there by himself, literally, in this big
hearing room. And he's the one guy seated. And he's trying to
finish this meeting. But but there's a couple of good little
bits. In the smaller drones coming clip.
Think of drones are the big predator drones which are being
operated in the United States. But we also have the ones that
you see on the desk in front of you all the way down to there
are now drones the size of a hummingbird being developed and
micro drones and drones even smaller. So the technology is
increasing at a exponentially rapid rate. And as we move
forward, we're just going to see the capabilities of these
devices increase.
Before we go any further with this clip. I just had a new
product idea. I want to throw it out there. I know we've changed
the first file but I'll be filing this patent. We need a
hand carried EMP weapon. And I'm sure I'm pretty sure it can be
done. So you know you have like, because what's with these small
drones? It's not the drone itself. It's their ability to
swarm that is going to be frightening. That's when you
know when you can get 5000 of mauled. And then then these
little drones turn into one big drone that seriously that's the
swarming that's dangerous. We need to have a handheld because
they can't be you know, in flying in Faraday cages you have
to have an EMP device what we just we have to have the right
frequency and just just fry the crap out of them. Just I'm
telling you this would be a hit people would buy
this. Well. I would have one Yeah, it's a bunch of 5000
little drones coming out and
you just like just fry all the transistors what do you what is
the mechanism that that you can create an EMP like effect with
With an atomic bomb. Oh, okay, well,
maybe the drawback of that is Yeah.
So presumably at some point, you could have one the size of a
mosquito that has a battery that operates for weeks, and let it
pass whole time have a mosquito following you around and not
know it's the swarming idiots
aware of it. They're already images online of a mosquito
drone being developed by the National Security Agency, and
then trying to figure out what technology they can put on it to
make small enough to put on it.
God help us if an adolescent boy gets a hold of one of those.
He's looking at her tits going. I'm so fucking drunk. I'm so
drunk right now. Oh, boy. I love that mosquito flying in your
moves
naturally. Alright, now before we get into our little thank you
segment here, I want to take us back in time. Do I have the
words the harp? I looked for that the other day didn't I
couldn't find the you lost the harp. I don't understand. I had
like a harp sound like ring like a broom? Slash maybe? Yeah. Oh,
here it is. Yes. Okay. Let's go back in time. To the episode we
had on Sunday where you played this commercial
this day calls you to fight chronic osteoarthritis pain.
Do you recall what this commercial was for?
Yeah, it was for Microsoft, I think,
to fight chronic low back pain, to take action to take the next
step. Today. You will know you did something for your pain.
Cymbalta can help.
Okay, so we played the whole commercial about Cymbalta. And
I'll come back into the future with me for a second here. We
got a note from one of our producers, Aaron. And he says,
I'm just the middle of listening to the March 17 no agenda show
and I heard you and John talking about Cymbalta. I was put on
Cymbalta few few years ago for pain. That comes from being hit
by a car while walking across the street back in oh two. I
figured I need to share this know John because he can tell us
about Cymbalta. Do you recall the side effects of Cymbalta all
kinds of stuff. Let's listen to the code to the commercials he
was here. Yes. And Walter is
a pain reliever FDA approved to manage chronic musculoskeletal
pain. One non narcotic pill a day every day can help reduce
this pain. Tell your doctor right away if your mood worsens,
you have unusual changes in mood or behavior or Okay,
so these are the not really disclaiming if you should call
your doctor if you have unusual changes in behaviors of
suicide, suicide increase these in children, teens and young
adults fault is not for children under 18. He tried to call their
doctor anymore I don't use the nasal lid or Thioridazine or
with uncontrolled glaucoma should not take Cymbalta taking
it with NSAID pain relievers aspirin or blood thinners and
it's a loss to remember has severe liver problems some fatal
were reported signs include abdominal pain and yellowing
skin arise. Tell your doctor about all your medicines
including those for migraine and while on Cymbalta call right
away if you have high fever, confusion and stiff muscles and
fears raise allergic skin reactions like blisters,
peeling, rash, hives or mouth sores to address possible life
threatening conditions. Talk about your alcohol use liver
disease and before you reduce your stops and Balta dizziness
or fainting may occur upon standing, take the next step
talk to your doctor Cymbalta can help.
Okay. So that's the commercial here, ladies and gentlemen, some
actual side effects of Cymbalta as witnessed by a no agenda
producer. As we said Aaron was put on Cymbalta a few years ago
for pain that comes from being hit by a car while walking
across the street back in oh two so it was prescribed to him as a
pain reliever, which is a new use for Cymbalta. It's a new
patent for them. They have a good, he said they didn't seem
to do anything for my pain. But I did notice that after 30 days
or so it supposedly takes to kick in. I started feeling
incredibly sad all the time. And, and crying for no reason.
It was insane. What was worse, however, was that I blacked out
once because of it and started according to my girlfriend at
the time, running around the house smashing things. Then I
fell on the floor out cold. She told me when when she asked me
what I took when I dropped to the floor and apparently I said
werewolves and vampires. Oh god. How awesome is that?
I think this is another one you should test.
What did you take? And he said werewolves and vampires. I I'm
on board with this So let me know. Because I wonder if you
can mix it up with some howl doll and really have a party.
Yeah, that's pretty good. That takes a month to get to that
point. So
well, persistence, persistence always pays off.
I'm going to show my son move by donation to no agenda. Imagine
all the people who could do that. And oh, yeah, that'd be
fine.
Yes, we do have some helpers, some producers who came in with
some donations, and we're going to name them. And there's a
couple of notes. I'm going to actually I'm gonna list First,
thank Peter, top Boozin ski in Bayshore, New York. of 195 30,
and then an anonymous donor from Los Angeles have $150. He has a
note that I have to discuss, because I think it's a great
idea, he says, or she, he or she, I can't say which it's
anonymous. I would like to offer some advice to fellow listeners.
In addition to supporting the show, John sometimes complains
about grocery store rewards cards that track what you buy,
and could potentially be used for insurance purposes in the
future. Most membership cards are tied to a phone number. So
if you forget your card, you can type in your phone number, and
it will recognize you or you can use it when they ask you for a
phone number. Luckily, because of the popularity of the Tommy
Tune song 8722 Tommy tutto
8675309,
that's Danny geminin with a song from my 1982 stores have an
account signed up for most area codes plus that number. For
example, in the 310 area coded almost every major grocery store
I've tried, I can enter 310-867-5309 and get the member
discounts without the potential for my insurance company using
it against me in the future. Just thought I would spread the
word and if you find an area code that doesn't work, fill out
a form and sign up for it so that others can use it.
This is a this is a great social hack. This is
a social hack. And this is a great benefit to no agenda
listeners. Because it's I think it's true. I'm going to start
checking it next time I go to the store got two or three
places that always
now here, here's what can happen, of course, so you'll be
in the checkout line. And oh, man, I forgot my card. What's
your number? Yeah, it's 51086753 you got you can't say with the
cadence. Oh, nine. And okay. Oh, zero. You say 0090. Mr. Curry?
Well, if if you would only buy three more packs of adult
diapers, we can give you a discount. There you go. I don't
know if this is good. Well could lead to some embarrassing
situations.
If you want to get the discount. You know, my experience has
always been just say I forgot my card and then they use their own
card. You still get the discount? They want to give you
the discount. John Henry and Gerardo Porto Rico 12345
Okay, hold on a second. According to the chat room, this
was on life hacker and this is plagiarized note.
Oh, that could be. Could be. Well, maybe a plagiarized note.
But I wonder if the person has checked out all the 310 storage
doesn't
really matter because it did not come to my attention because let
me think oh yeah, I'm watching C span instead of life hacker life
and I'm too busy helping people get through TSA.
Right. Oh, is this still a good tip?
The Great tip but so yeah, chat room. I do once in a while. See
all the exclamation points from the corner of my eye.
exclamation points. That was a life hacker before though crap.
Those guys never read the chat room.
This is new.
This is a new social hack. This is just plagiarize. This is
lame.
This is the same one you get when you run a blog and you see
somebody sends you a video
a year ago
by the way that's got that will you will get banned from the
divorce
is like I can't believe you guys didn't see that in life hacker
before. Alright, right onward with
people who are in Puerto Rico. 12345 Andrew M Holcomb in Ann
Arbor, Michigan. 111 11. Audrey say Simon Sims something like
that. St. Louis Missourah mentioned that she has a
birthday that we have on the list.
andriese While I wish I knew how to pronounce it now. I think
it's sometimes it's in times. No. Let him put her on. This is
not good one is her birthday
today. Hey,
Audrey. So I'm gonna say signs. I think it's signs.
It's gotta be signs. Yeah,
I think so. That's right.
William $100. She gave $100 to sam. Sir Sam la lubang Luang
loon Lou I think it's pronounced E is gave 99 bucks and pushed
him over to another knighthood. Oh, which now he's claiming a
barony.
And it's been we've checked
the accounting apparently because JC put it in the note.
So how many knighthoods equals A barony to
bear in net? Now this might noises is third, which is the
Barony?
So two is barren. Net three is we didn't talk about the level
two is barren net three is barony, right? And then what's
after barony.
I have to go back and get that email that I sent out it's
510 20
I think is what it is something like that. And, but very
important if you give your knighthood away, you can't
double counted towards your
love. Is that right? I'm asking. Well, this is a this is a
meeting that's needed.
So let's so for instance we have today will be knighting Dame
Suzanne right Massimo has given his knighthood away, right. So
but now if he then gets his own knighthood, does he go straight
to Baronet?
Well, this is a question that needs to be answered. Um, and
that's where I'm I would say no,
I would say no as well. I think you know, you've given it away.
So you know, and he could give the second knighthood slash demo
to his wife and she wouldn't be a Baronet. Correct? Yes, you can
be you can double count
that would be my
Hello What did the email say? So you were like the the you had an
email this by the way as a proposal, it says very clearly
in the email. And here's how it goes like let me just read a
proposal. I'm sorry.
Night dame's the single knighthood is a night game.
Okay? The Baronet is a double knights. Baron is triple
knights, then comes via count, which is 5x and then URL, which
is seven times night, then do 10 10x night and this
is all reflected on the divorce.org/and a page.

hold on.
All right, Suzanne Cattaneo stepped forward and before the
table of Knights and Dames thanks to my seamos collection
of points for his knighthood he has given you the knighthood
therefore making you damn Suzanne dame of the Knights and
danger the no agenda round table for you we have standing by if
you prefer red boys and Chardonnay, vodka and vanilla,
bong hits and bourbon, sparkling cider and escorts mutton Mead,
and I left all the other ones off there. We're not relevant to
you as Dang. But I think the rent boys and Chardonnay may
come in handy and I'm sure Masimo will be quite okay with
that. Because that's how we roll here at the roundtable. We grow.
I try I keep trying to convince my wife, it's okay. It's how we
roll.
I've always found that to be one of the most obnoxious things.
Anyone could say.
I need to call you out on something. Oh, you said I didn't
clip it. I should have. We were talking about I guess it was on
the last episode about the spreadsheet messed up. And you
thought I was saying one thing that I was like, Oh, this is
horrible. You said it what that goes wrong once and then, you
know, it's like, you got to fire your kid. And then you said, so
like, oh, I made out with that woman and now the marriage is
over. What? Yes, you said this. I said what you said
that's like mad that you made out with this woman and now the
marriage is over.
You said that is like your wife saying and I guess you were
reflecting on yourself. That he's
saying you like you cheated. Like, No, I know. You know when
I said that? Yeah. I said, you know, this is not a good
analogy. It's just totally bogus live. But it's like,
the question is why did you come up with it? Why did you say this
isn't something you'd like to share with the group? Joe? I'm
not making out with anybody apparently. But also
if I'm let me tell you if wishful thinking if I made out
with some other woman, you know, no, would she leave me? No, but
it would break a lot. It would break stuff. That's not It's not
this horrible analogy.
I'm fine. I apologize for making such a stupid comment. And it
was like completely off the wall. I don't know why I even
came out of my mouth. And it was I was trying to go somewhere.
Hey, Mimi, hold on a second. Yeah.
Believe me it was actually I was on the fly. I was trying to come
up with a gym. And then that came out. I said, That's dumb.
And then I just let it go because you just like didn't
even hear it.
I heard it but I was like, you know there was other stuff going
on so but it stuck with me throughout throughout the
so it bothered you good.
Oh my god. I don't know if I can say this. Mr. Oil just got
arrested in Cyprus.
What?
What happened? Oh, hold on a second. Let me read this. Our
car got stopped on the way to the airport. He was ordered out
under guns searched demanded Oh, Mr. Oil, and was Russian went to
get his money out of Cyprus. Wow, this is breaking this. I'm
going to read verbatim from the back channel. This latest from
Cyprus. Our car got stopped on the way to the airport. We were
ordered out under gunpoint search demanded to surrender all
money and cash that we had. We were arrested five minutes
laters we refuse to comply with everything we're threatened to
be taken to jail and forgotten about. This is you know, he's
very upset. So it's a little weird English. After a call to
my lawyers was promptly released. This is effed up. See,
they did not surrender the money refused to comply, apart from
identifying themselves asking what is the charge? And so they
let him go and he's now on his way back to get mo nation east
but he was literally arrested. And they tried to demand him to
surrender his money
with the F. Wow, that could be happening here and he Minute

Liang. Liang. How do we pronounce it?
Lil Luna?
Luna? I, sir Sam, as of today is the second Baron. No, no, he's
a third.
No, because we have a baron and Baron s.
So we have another guy. I can't remember his name. I have a
written down somewhere who? We apparently gifted a baron.
Hold on a second. You're just not a guy.
Well, I don't have his name. But he's a fellow. He's up. He's a
nice, sir. Have some edge. And he got a barony. And
so what is this sir Sam? Baron Sam loon get.
He get he asked for something. Actually. It's under. It's in
the note. Oh, let's once let's see. What do you see what

He says he would like I think I'll play me once. He will be
where we have to get up. We'll give it to him. But we'll we'll
give him this. He wants to claim the Great Lakes.
Oh, consider a done my friend. You can have him.
Only the without? He's a Canadian, I believe so. He only
gets the great lakes that are in Canada. Yes. So Lake Michigan is
still up for grabs. still available. All right. So he gets
all the Great Lakes except Lake Michigan. So let me just read I
want to cause an international issue
raucous Hi gents realized two things one I was recently booted
off the 3333 monthly pant plan at the beginning of the month.
This happens all the time people check your subscriptions Pay Pal
is wack. I resubscribed Thank you. Notice that my total
contribution under the plan was just over $1,000 My guess is
that Pay Pal may have a cap on the total subscription value and
will automatically unsubscribe as a precaution Nope.
I don't think so. This happens just random 11
Happens all the time. Just the thought you know all we do up
here in Canada is party and have Canadian mac and cheese, also
known as poutine poutine. Can't get more depression Eric cuisine
than that. Take it easy, gents. Also, now that the no agenda
nation.com system tells me I've contributed just enough for my
third knighthood and Bernie, I think I'll claim the Great Lakes
as my domain. Should we move over to the new period system,
Sam? Congratulations. We had the meeting earlier. You are now the
Baron of the Great Lakes of Canadia. And let's find out what
this poutine looks like. Yeah. Poutine poutine it's probably
the French of the Quebec errs version of Mac and Cheese. They
can't just call it mac and cheese after
that. Well that's a violation of trademark poutine is a typical
Canadian dish originally from Quebec, made with french fries
to French fries topped with brown gravy and curd cheese.
Oh right. I've seen this dish. Oh my goodness. totally
disgusting.
The picture look at the picture on the wiki page. It looks like
poop and whipped cream.
Well the cheese. The curd cheese means it's fresh cheese just a
regular just cheese curd that you can buy in some stores. It
would be similar to taking cottage cheese and rinsing off
all the all the liquid the goop and so you could do with cottage
cheese and what you would do is you don't take fruit you get a
bunch of French fries. Here's the hand cut that so the skins
are still on. And then you dumped this this cheesy
cheese on top. It looks like they put the gravy on first.
Well this one I'm looking at as the gravy over the cheese.
The dish origin originated in a rural Quebec Canada in the late
1950s. That's not really Depression era.
Here's one here's a poutine with onions and bacon. I think it's a
real ham. It's called poutine bomb poutine with be bacon. Oh,
unknown y'all are Nan and MERG gaz which is Oh, I love him or
GEZ. But his MIGUEZ had said
I taught you more guys we bought it from the French
horrible sausage made from lamb
poutine.com Oh man, it's already taken by the poutine shop.
appears you can order online poutine you can order it already
made. This is not cheap, by the way, is poutine This is not mac
and cheese.
Here's one that's interesting. The me which is poutine which is
Elvis steakhouse che pavois and champagne y'all, which has got
the mushrooms. You guys eat crab. Got all this stuff. That's
a poutine which is got three kinds of meat. Essentially, you
take a bed of French fries, it should be greasy, and then you
just dump stuff on it. Nice. That's it. You're done. This is
what's this is probably the origin of the idea of nachos.
Yeah, you take a bunch of chips and french fries, french fries.
Coincidentally, chips is what the British call french fries
when you take a bunch of which could be a mis translation of
the dish. So the you take chips, which are corn chips, you put it
on the bottom and you dump a bunch of cheap cheese all over
the top. And then you could put on some sour cream or some meat
or some jalapenos chopped. Nice and then you eat that during an
athletic event.
Okey dokey. So I got I got to a banker clips. I've been holding
on to one for a couple of weeks and using them we never got
around to it. And yesterday there Bernanke. Then, Benjamin
Bernanke, our central banker dude. who's married to Andrew
Mitchell, right?
I got it right. The other guy?
Oh, that's right. The Greenspan guy. Crap. Greenspan, I got a
clip from her too. So first here is the Attorney General Eric
Holder. Eric,
by the way, by the way, I'm betting even money that Erica
Mitchell and her husband have dinner on occasion with
Bernanke,
Andrea Mitchell.
What did I say?
I said, Erica Mitchell. But that's good. That's her new
name. She should consider an official change.
Anyway, go on. Sorry. Okay. So
here he is a couple of weeks ago talking about big banks. And how
frightening they are to him he's very afraid of
turning you have raised is one that I frankly share. And I'm
not talking about HSBC now that maybe that that'd be
appropriate, but I am concerned that the size of some of these
institutions, hold on
Stop, stop, stop, stop. He has picked up the exact same cadence
and almost the same voice. And you can hear it with you not
that I'm gonna say it. Eric Holder.
This is Eric Holder. Oh,
let's say you're playing Bernanke or Bernanke
is next. But you're right. Eric Holder has picked up the exact
same cadence as Eric Holder. It's It's uncanny ladies and
gentlemen,
that the size of some of these institutions becomes so large
that it does become difficult for us to to prosecute them when
we are hit with prosecuting blood
for fraud and being just yeah, he's saying, Oh, the
douchebag question. Yeah, he had they haven't done anything.
But he's, he's saying because there's so big, we can't
prosecute the
organized crime is so big, so he can't arrest anybody. Is that
what he's saying? Yeah, listen, again,
when we are hit with indicate indications that if you do
prosecute, if you do bring a criminal charge, it will have a
negative impact on the national economy, perhaps even the world
economy. And I think that is a function of the fact that fact
some of these institutions have become too large again, Matoba
HS HSPC. This is just a more general comment. I think it has
an inhibiting influence, impact on our ability to bring
resolutions that I think would be more appropriate and I think
that is something that we you all need to need to consider. So
it's actually one that I share. So
I reading between the lines and by the way, oh, my God, it's
uncanny. He sounds so much like Eric Holder, I just, it's
killing us. What I'm hearing here is these banks that we
cannot actually throw people in jail, we cannot prosecute
because if if we do that these banks fall apart, then the world
collapses. Is that pretty much what he said there? Yep. Now
let's listen to the Bernanke. Who sounds a lot like
Bernanke and Bernanke
on the benefits of being too big to fail? No, we don't have an
estimate, it's pretty difficult to control for all the factors
that go into determining the size of the subsidy,
the size of the subsidy, John, so the banks, he's going to talk
about this a little bit more, but the banks that are too big
to fail, are being subsidized by the federal reserve. And he
doesn't even know how much money
I think there is some evidence that financial markets are at
least to some extent, taking into account the possibility
that large financial institutions will fail. You see,
for example, spreads in the credit default swaps, it
indicates some probability of failure. You see some
discrimination among different institutions according to the
bond market, interest rates that they get charged, and so on. So
there is some evidence of market discrimination. That being said,
I certainly never meant to say to Senator Warren, and I share
her concern about too big to fail. I think it's an A major
issue. I never meant to imply that the problem was solved and
gone, it is not solved and gone is still here. But there's a lot
of work in train. We're putting in the Basel capital standards.
We're putting in the orderly liquidation authority from Dodd
Frank and working with our international partners.
International white progress against too big to fail because
I agree with her 100% That it's a real problem and needs to be
addressed.
All right. Just take our money and do whatever you want.
Douche.
Anyway, here's the I have a clip. That is kind of
interesting. Can I can I
can I finish up my my actually was
appointed this. Okay, go.
Oh, okay. It's gotta be like that. Go on. I wanted to play
air. Eric Mischel. Oh, what does she have to say? Well, Erica,
Michelle. So the only point I was making was so this is how
are the highest judicial dude in the land thinks, you know, the
banks own him. The bank's own everybody. We can't do anything.
We can't prosecute them because they're so scary. We have the
Bernanke, who is the the Federal Reserve, the highest banker in
the land, and he's the bank. He is the bank, Ben Ben Bernanke,
the bank. And He isn't saying, Well, you know, what? They what
it is we can't let them fail. And then we have Andrea
Mitchell. Now she is an elite, because she is married to the
former Bank, Bernanke. Greens this span. Right. Yeah. And
listen to what she says. As she talks to her colleagues about
the failure when she
would be speaking from an insider's perspective and an
insider's perspective. This is my point. So the guy who used to
run the whole money scheme in the bank, so that guy, his wife,
and they fit together perfectly, you know, that just start to
look like each other. So his wife gives her colleagues a
talking to about the failure of the or so called because it's
not been about the the assault rifle assault weapons like style
ban, that is now being pulled out of the legislation by the
Democrats. Listen to the words,
Democratic Majority Leader and Harry Reid's decision to not let
the assault weapons ban go to the floor for a vote angered
Senator Dianne Feinstein who is not giving up.
This is very important to me. And I'm not going to lay lay
down and play dead. I think the American people have said in
every single public poll, that they support this kind of
legislation.
Joining me now for more on that and all the other political news
for our daily fix today. Chris is an MSNBC contributor and
managing editor of post politics.com and USA Today's
Washington bureau chief Susan Page,
so she now has a contributing editor@msnbc.com and the editor
of USA Today. These are big. It's a big person.
Yeah. What is this? That's not the editor of USA Today. What is
the venue here? Does she ever own shows as a Sunday thing?
Where'd you get this? She
is standing on location outside of the White House, which I
think is what show she's on. Washington, MSNBC. She's on NBC.
ABC NBC.
Is it a new show? Is
this a new show? Yes. Yeah. Just play it.
Hi to both of you well, while I'm away you guys let the the
assault weapons ban you know, die practically at least Harry
Reid says that he's not
there you go. While I'm away, you stupid journalist.
Let this die. I'll play that again. I didn't. I didn't catch
it. You
didn't scare the American public appropriately split
both of you. Well, while I'm away you guys let the the
assault weapons ban you know die practically at least Harry Reid
says that he's not gonna let it go forward.
Wow, that's a weird clip. No, she
means it. This
is how she thinks. Yeah, I wasn't here and next thing you
know all hell breaks loose. Yeah, I wasn't going to be here
all the time I
wasn't here to manage the media to manage you people. I'm your
handler, I'm taking care of business, I make sure you write
things, you know, like the Sandy Hook like terrible.
I think there's a great clip and why don't get how to hooks into
the Bernanke clip
only because she's elitist like everybody else. And she was
married to Well, here's
an interesting clip this kind of a financial clip that I just
think is good piece of information. I talked about
this, it was on Charlie Rose. I mentioned it to Horowitz, who
thinks this guy's just a douche, but it's okay. He's the guy who
used to run AIG. He was kicked out and an AIG fellow party
thinks he could have saved his navy, very famous guys like 85.
He's still a tough cookie. And he's irked about the things the
government stole AIG without compensation cost him most of
his, but he has his what there's one little tidbit in here, I
thought was worth worth listening to, which is the and I
kind of agree with him. And this is what's the name of this clip,
Hank Greenberg on Paulson.
And if it did
happen, and you became vulnerable, you would have known
how you convinced in your own mind. That's true.
No question about it. Look, I chaired the New York Fed for
several years, been on the board before that, and then became
vice chair and chair. I knew the Fed quite well. There's, if we
if we had need for access to the Fed window. I feel comfortable,
I would have either gotten that. And if we had a problem? Well, I
would have raised money internationally. There's no
question, but it wouldn't have happened. But if something did
occur, we'd have found a way to say you have
found financing from sovereign wealth funds or whoever no
question about. Do you believe this? As Hank Paulson has said
that if AIG had gone down, there is no doubt there was taken the
whole system down?
I don't believe that at all. Yeah, no, I don't believe that
at all.
Well, well, how does that work?
It was that was the big way. He says it does not to play all the
steps. But do what he says is that they made up this phony
baloney scenario. Of course, he couldn't do anything about he
was the chairman of the company, but it wasn't running it. And
then they brought a guy in from Goldman and they I don't, I
should have clipped this. The East says apparently Paulson
comes in and says You guys are going to take this bailout where
you're going to give a 75% of the company you're going to pay
14% interest rate. And by the way, you the CEO, which is the
replacement for Greenberg, you are fired. Yeah. And then he's
brought a Goldman and he goes I'm not gonna do this deal. And
against his fine he brings a Goldman guy in to do this deal
that they've take over the company essentially ruin the
company essentially. And then he says through the just Grievers
through the backdoor Goldman got like $20 billion had nothing to
do with this. They said they give it to us and they got
funneled right to Goldman it just the whole thing was
happening but we kind of we kind of knew that though. I mean,
that wasn't Yeah, no we
on this show. We
know I'm sorry. I'm sorry. No, no, we knew we knew it. Yeah,
the rest of the world was still like oh my god ahead and choose
and meanwhile, he says this a new way that just confirms our
suspicions that I thought was I thought Dojo ah that and he
wouldn't be more likely to know whether it's going to cave in
the economy or not. Poor Woods believes it would have caved in
the economy Do you but I'm sticking with this.
No, I mean, I'm with you. I'm with you. It's
it's a scam.
Yeah, no, that is that's on your tombstone right we already
established that. Like if you die before I do I'm putting it
on the it's a scam I'll make sure it's there that all love
it. So we have some some interesting vaccine news.
Because of course you know, we've we've always got to stay
on top of what we're going to shoot up our kids with. This is
this came off our national treasure. The NPR
President Obama's administration has laid out guidelines today
for conducting controversial medical research. The federal
government is considering testing the anthrax vaccine in
children.
What got it
you gotta need to try to prepare for a biotech scene
is considered extremely dangerous. Oh, well,
interesting that we've shot up a million Americans with it
already equal to more fair for us
to tech turns NPR is Rob Stein reports a presidential
commission says several steps would have to be taken before
any testing. And the report raises questions about whether
such tests are ethical.
Now I want you to listen very closely and explain to me why
this guy is allowed on the radio. He is a you know, you
know have you ever spoken to someone who has like Their mouth
is all sticky and when they talk actually like white strands of
goo,
tongue in the roof of their mouth recently we talked about
to some of the DHS.
Here's this here's a guy that has it
in the walls of bioterrorism Anthrax is one of those clearly
Israelis dry mouth,
man he's like it's really disgusting. It's not dry mouth.
It's wet. Yeah, it's that that that wet white goo like mucus.
Mucus mouth.
As MPs Rob Stein reports a presidential commission says
several steps would have to be taken before any testing. And
the report raises questions about whether such tests are
ethical.
In the world of bioterrorism. Anthrax is one of the scariest
threats it's relatively easy to make and spread over a large
area. And Daniel for buoy says anthrax can hide for long
periods and dormant spores are released potent toxins
at some point it hatches. When it does hatch, it can cause
invasive disease, meaning like pneumonias, and bacterial
infection in the body that can lead to death. And that's why
Anthrax is very deadly and something of great concern to
us.
For two years a pediatrician he chaired a federal panel that
started the push to study the anthrax vaccine and kids four
than a million adults in the military have gotten the shots
but for buoy says no one knows how well it works in children
did you know
this a million servicemen and women have been shot up
these poor bastards up left and right with stuff there's like
their guinea pigs to join the army become a guinea pig to but
this you can't refuse to take the shot if they want it if your
target right.
So if you listen this whole report it's gonna happen.
They're gonna test this on kids.
Disgusting. Yeah, typical. Anyway.
So now this report, this is a Diane Sawyer not drunk. I'm
convinced she's not drunk. And we've we've seen this outfit
outfit before when they come out and they make a big, a big stink
about some research. This is Autism Speaks. And that's not in
the report. But this is I've deduced the report back to them.
And Diane Sawyer has very troubling news for us. Very,
very troubling,
please now we return back home to a new number confirming a
worry in American families tonight. One in 50
schoolchildren in America has a form of autism, the government
survey of parents is much higher than the previous estimate. One
is Ada,
what has always gone up everything always goes up eight.
So what is happening? And also tonight, another small part of
the puzzle. Does it have anything to do with parents and
grandfather's ABC chief medical editor, Dr. Richard
Besser, on the close
do you want? So I can tell you what it is you want to hear the
report or no telling me what it is? Oh, it's like if it if
you're if you have a child and you're over 30, then your
grandkids, not your direct kids. But the kids of your kids have a
large larger percentage chance was turns out to be less than
three of having kids with autism.
So the percentage chance of autism goes up by 3%. Only if
you're over 30. Yeah, but I'm saying the whole so in other
words, chances are one in a million Yes. A chance it would
be 1.03 and a million. Yes. So how is that even? Statistically
anything?
Well, what's more interesting to me is where did this we used to
be one and 88. And now it's one and 50 estimate. I'm like what
the hell? I mean, this is crazy.
That's because it's easier to do the math. Ah, well, he so so I
went to 88 is up son of a bitch to heaven in models. Terrible.
And 1500
this ham number? Yeah, let's do 50 The number. This is from the
CDC. And this.
By the way, why would it be one in exactly one if it went out
one in 49? One in 51?
I'll tell you, I'm going to tell you because it's bogus. That's
why so this is Autism Speaks. The number does not replace the
official one and 88 estimate Wow could afford me Diane Sawyer,
but does suggest it may be a significant underestimate of
autism prevalence in the US. One and 50 or 2% is much close to
what we've seen from the research. The new 150 estimate
comes from a telephone survey that asked nearly 100,000
parents across the country a range of health related
questions about children ages six to 17. I bet your questions
like as your kids spin. Look at your child is your child
spinning right now? Does your child walk on his or her tippy
toes?
That must be autism. You're on the spectrum Cha Oh, come NOT
TRY THIS anthrax vaccine very good for you
know there's a voiceover thing you could do you could do a
horror stories. Oh, that'd
be great. It's such a big
old time radio, you know used to do these things and I think we
should bring it back when you write it. Voice he's actually a
good voice you got
so give me a line. Give me a line give me give me a scenario.
Give me a scenario. Second scenario.
Well, let's take an old arch old boiler story where people are
turning inside out or people are turning inside out with this
with the Oregon's hanging from the skim sudden,
she felt something coming up through her esophagus. It was it
was hurt her large intestine. And as her large intestine
spewed out of her face
to be written. If you write a script, write a script for me
already. Do that voice if you can maintain that voice easy.
That's easy, and that's money. This is money in the bank. Okay,
and
I'll finish off with highlight everybody. Perfect. So
I have a meeting. So Mimi's was all upset about she stem and I
decided maybe I should do do a little more research and get and
get at least a couple of these things that are more interesting
than this one but she found news pro net, which is one of the
consolidated freelance operations that feeds bogus
stories to the your your local news.
Oh, who found this? Who found this? Amy did oh, good work.
Oh, you got this as a scandal I said this is all she said. Watch
it. Listen to the show.
Hey, by the way, did you know John's kissing other women or at
least talking about it?
So anyway, so So I was a little it's amazing to me that this is
their promotional video this part of it anyway. And it was so
poorly done as a promotional video and they didn't they have
all these reports on do the classic bedbugs, guy. She's
supposed to find me one where they say green tea is unhealthy.
And these are all financed by apparently they finance the
medical people or the Monsanto finances the idea and then the
new stage has actually paid for the content. It's not a video
press release. These are actual stories that they provide.
News pro net video.com. That's the outfit we're talking about
here.
Yeah, play this little clip. Which one is it? It's news pro
net. And it's the woman describing their services

Sweeps sweet always answers the question. How do I do more for
less
leaky sweeps we do more for less. Mr. Oil, get this get an
account get this stuff on the street. Right. It'd
probably be a good story to promote by doing a mock through
it. I
think Do we have a story? Do we have a story? No co Alici. PhD
and SPF client air check bedbugs at home. Yeah, that's the one. I
actually
was thinking of clipping that but I said it's just one thing.
These are features. So they're short video. No, these are long
and boring, right? That's digging around. So I found this
other operational NBN which does actual audio, press releases.
You remember the old days we used to get a record you do
phony interviews.
The record was a huge record. It was it was transcription size
16 inch. And so he put on to turn on a big turntable and
Thorens and then you get this thing and
Thorens turntable. He didn't he didn't just say that. Did you?
Yeah, I did. Wow.
He went away put on the old Thorens and they just got a big
platters huge. And so it's spinning around and you have the
deal on their NSC and you have a sheet in front of you. We talked
about this before in the show, and you do a back and forth with
it with this phony and I was hoping it was skipped or
something I never did. So so so I found I found a press release
for an event that I would be kind of interested in because I
kind of like old trains never heard of it and it's because all
these videos of these press releases or audio press releases
that came out are done by the same guy the same announcer Oh,
it's time for a new guy. He's so old school that nobody will run
this stuff and you can play the world's what I call her the
world's worst radio press release
and trek is calling all kids young and old come together for

Then we can use his all aboard All aboard? We can do it.
Let's see. Okay. All aboard the board trains. Planes back. In
right ran.
Anyway, so I was I was going over some of these sites, just a
bunch of them. You can look them up. And I'm thinking, you know,
we need to do some some public service announcements. Yes, very
good. Audio. We can pass them all over the place. And we
should do it about our show. I think the idea that first came
out in Chicago is that our show is a public service. Right? We
can do PSAs about us.
Well, I mean, I am obviously the one to voice them. Oh, yeah. And
you need to write them.
I can write the PSA I used to once I will Yeah, I took
broadcasting once and we
all have you know, I am a graduate of the Connecticut
School of broadcasting good for you. Yeah, I just wanna you
know,
so anyway, so I took the you know, they made us write PSAs
all day so I can write a PSA know exactly how to do I know
the format and I know the timing.
So yeah, 60 seconds. So do you have one? Do you have an example
for me to
just use that just came to me? Well, what do you want to talk
about what is important that we can they would play if this is
the key to a PSA? It's got to have some hook. And then of
course, they're only going to play this at four in the morning
but beside the point well
well, I can
wake up
do you think that's gonna work? You think they'll air that you
think they'd be all over that
on air or anything like that? Let's see anything good teen
radio
PSA scripts. So cool. National Institute of Health. You can
just give that one a shot. I mean, read it. Okay. So there's
boy one and boy two. So when which I do both voices.
Yeah. Do the other one and a squeaky voice. No, I
got it. I think I do one of them with my surfer dude. Okay. So
you're at a party just hanging out having a great time when
someone goes, Hey, I know. We can get some beer. Like you're
not already having fun. So you say no thanks to let them know
you're not interested. And they go. What's with you? He's
scared. So you're looking at all the others who also aren't
drinking and you go? Yeah, scared of being like you.
Natural laughter the cool spot.gov Check it out. Ah,
brought you by the Department of Health Human Services, the
National Institutes of Health in the National Institute
for heard that PSA Ever
did you like my job now? You missed the tag branch,
Department of Health and Human Services at the National
Institute of Health the National Institute of Drug Abuse and
Alcoholism.
Yeah, that's good. I would actually I wouldn't record if it
was me, I'd record that at normal speed and then run it
through audacity and do a tempo thing and wrap wrap it out fast.
Brought to you by the Department of Health and Human Services
National Institute the national
your kids you get to fast voice down. It's not bad. The surfers
outstanding by the way.
Yay. Dude, what I know we can't some beer. Yeah, that is the
award winning surfer dude voice which has yet to get me one
frickin gig ever. I'm telling
you, maybe we do this PSAs and someone will hear it go. Holy
crap. I want that guy for my voiceover possible once you do
that same PSA, but just do the whole thing in a surfers voice.
So you're at a party just hanging out having a great time
when someone goes, Hey, I know we can get some beer here. Like
you're not already having fun. So you say no thanks to let them
know you're not interested. And they go. What's with you? You
scared? So you look at all the others you are drinking. You go?
Yeah, scared to like be like you. The cool spot.gov Check it
out.
It's got potential capital. Alright, so I'll write up a
script. And let's do some PSAs.
Good. This is good. And we can Yeah, we'll do. What's free
advertising?
Yeah. And when we're not, we're not we're
well, how do we distribute? Do we send them to somewhere is
there some place where
they used to be used to put them in the mail, right. And then
with the station managers, and then they would put them in the
pile and then they get played or not played or read or not read,
generally speaking, that used to be written and they will read
them on the air. But now because of technology, you know, we have
to obviously send them mp3 or something. And I'll have to
figure out what the mechanism is. And then we'll just do that.
Can I can I get one last clip you got something but I'll let
you have the last word here on the crystal Donald show. And I'm
going to give you Erin Burnett. Because you know, as we've
determined earlier, she's on a roll. And she is hired once
again to roll out the IE D mean. You mean so let me tell you what
happened. I think this story is so full of holes and it's I
think the FBI is pissed because it's not their six week cycle.
It's not time to have some kind of guy they trap. This is like
some local dudes and somehow they get a hold of probably
their guy. This is what I'm thinking is the FBI had a guy
they had that um all teed up you know he was gonna have the new
the new bomb the new which is now i ed for improvised
explosive device, which apparently, Erin Burnett doesn't
even understand the what the term ie D stands for. You'll
hear in this clip, he probably thinks it's
a birth control thing.
All right, let's this is good to see you, chief. I really
appreciate your taking the time
to see a chief because you know, she's talked to the chief all
the time, obviously. What can you
tell me about this man, 30 years old James Oliver cvac. Amara,
who was even by
the way the Obama I'm seeing on the news got to the Israeli
Medal of Honor. Partially because of Iron Dome. That's our
Pulitzer Peace Prize winner right there. Everybody, and
Pulitzer. I mean, our Nobel anyway, onward. Why
was he planning this attack?
Well, right now, you know, trying to get the background
investigation and find out what made him tick is all under
investigation. Okay, so
it's under investigation because the FBI are pissed. This was
their guy. Turns out this will
listen to this guy was we do know he was 30 years old,
a student who's 30 years old in a dorm room. Okay. Now, this is
I mean, 30 year old student sure you got 70 year old students,
but he's on campus in a dorm room
really seems highly unlikely, highly unlikely
had been a student there had been a loner alone. Very kind of
anti social behavior. Wow. Okay.
Now, what we were talking about the gun, the backpack that the
IEDs that you found out about these notes,
and the notes of which we have absolutely no evidence or proof
that they actually exist? Well, when
our officers found him, we did there was a handgun and a
tactical rifle. Inside a backpack as we were searching
the premises, we found what we would consider for IEDs, what we
would consider
for IEDs what maybe it was a book of matches. What we would
consider IEDs. This is this, I'm telling you,
this guy should wouldn't match. This could be considered an IED.
Yes.
This guy was a FBI setup. We'll hear about that in a minute. He
was set up.
Well, I don't isn't it Do we have a cycle that we but that's
what I'm saying?
They're pissed because the guy wasn't supposed to happen yet.
But because it's off cycle. Yes. This
is not gonna be six weeks as I recall. It's supposed to come up
right before Episode 500. You know, the they're two they're
like a week early. The guy was not ready the IDs were not ready
roommate yet. It's it's the stupid cops This is the bumbling
says Keystone Cops messed it up. So we
had to have the explosive ordnance unit come and dispose
of those and we're working with the FBI now trying to find out
exactly what those materials were.
What you don't even know what they were and you're calling it
an IED oh please
for most of them
with any idea how he got those devices or whether he built them
himself? What were you?
Okay, did he build the improvised word improvised
explosive device? Of course, it means that you idiots,
what's your instinct right now?
What's your instinct right now? What are you learning store?
What's your instinct? What's your instinct right now?
All the indications are that he built them himself.
Oh, wow. Wow, homebrew. Wow, wow,
do you do you? And in terms of motive, again, I'm just curious
about these notes that you found indicating the mom bring on the
notice planning and attack? Do you know what he intended to do
with all of this?
No, he wasn't exactly clear on what the attack was going to
consist of,
because the FBI didn't clue us in. However, he
did have a timeline of how he was getting ready and preparing.
And then in the end, he would just give him hell is the quote
that he used. I'm telling
you, this was the FBI script, you're probably right. And so
I'm thinking we're gonna miss this cycle cycle
know the cycle is going to be off. Now. Here's the question.
Good question. We're gonna have to make some notes on the
calendar. Because if it's a six week cycle, and they're up
early, are they going to still schedule it from six weeks from
when it was supposed to happen? Or six weeks from now? I
think it's, it's just go balls to the wall. They've got to get
something up and out because they've got budgeting coming up.
It's the quarter you know, they gotta get something going so we
could actually see, I'm gonna look at the calendar, we could
see a real we could see a real botched operation. Something
that is just too mature, but they're gonna roll with it.
Because they couldn't take any credit. They're involved with
this one as Yeah, maybe
they're going to have to I don't know this is going to be
interesting to see how this plays out. But the founders was
a joke. This thing
I mean, this guy they could you know, here's what could have
happened. You know, cop a cop was walking through the hallway
this guy didn't like him. We just put a fun bullet in his
head. And laying off okay, well Oh, I found these notes. I found
this bag this backpack with IEDs and oh, oh, there's a tactical
rifle next to him. Come on people you're insulting our
intelligence more than the PSA up their game. They got up the
game Alright, so that was there's more to that you can
listen to all that in the show notes for nine or seven dot any
show notes.com is where we have everything all listed all the
little clips and bits and bits and bobs and and chucks and
Todd's and to consume national service and health so
I got a couple error Erin Burnett clips and we are we on a
Bernat trip here. And he apparently was both watching
this woman as she was she
still she still she still has the cute face.
She's very pretty. But although she's doing this a little too
much so she did one of her long editorials. I didn't want to
clip the whole thing because it was dumb. But she did mention
this should use on tall buildings and how the United
States is behind. We were way behind everybody else and tall
buildings. And it was interesting because he played
the clip is Aaron on tall buildings.
According to an interesting article today in the United Arab
Emirate newspaper The National America is falling behind when
it comes to tallest buildings, sort of an international you
know who's bigger contest of the top 10 in the world only the
Willis Tower formerly called Sears Tower made the list it's
number nine. In just a few years there will not be any American
buildings on that list at all. In the next decade, six new
buildings will be added all of them in Asia and the Middle
East, including Saudi Arabia's Kingdom tower set to open in
2018. It will be the tallest building in the world. Wait
10 More seconds left on the clip. Tell me there's going to
be a really funny pun at the end of this. No,
as well as the first two paths 3000 feet that's 564 feet taller
than the current champ which is the Burj Khalifa in Dubai.
So what got me about that besides the whole thing that she
goes on with some theory about we're doomed as a culture
because we're not building tall buildings. Anyway she just she
ends it with some blame that's
that's some coked out talk right there.
It was really so but the thing is Willis when did this thing
when the Sears Tower become the Willis Tower? And who the hell
is Willis? That's what got me I'm the what? I didn't know
about the name change.
Did you look it up? Did you consult the book of knowledge? I
was gonna ask you I wish I could have looked I have no idea. I
was never did you know this either?
I was not aware of this.
I'm looking it up. The Willis tower.com. Like, named.
I also heard, what was it the CP three or four? I also heard
queef in Dubai. That's what I heard do,
but yeah, I did too. That's like, okay, Erin. Thanks. So
here we go. Okay named a Sears Tower throughout its history in
2009. That's up far behind. We're keeping up with building
names. And stadium names, I'm sure. The Willis Group Holdings.
Oh, right to rename the building as part of their lease on a
portion of the offices on it. Oh, was it?
I'm all for this. By the way. I feel that if someone comes in
with a million bucks, they get to rename the show. It could be
