We make stuff that goes on to stuff that kill stuff.
Adam curry, John C. Dvorak. Sunday, May 19 2013.
Time for your Gitmo nation media assassination episode 514.
This is no agenda.
Partying like it's 1837 here in the Travis heights hideout.
We're so cool meets MoPhO in Austin, Texas in the morning,
everybody. I'm Adam curry.
And from Northern Silicon Valley, I'm John C. Dvorak.
What was that? Well, you cut it, it was weird because the Skype
connection cut out just says, and I'm not like,
Oh, really? Oh, I'm sorry. You know, someone sent me an email
about how to there is a way
there is a way to use two copies of Skype and then because it's
essentially half duplex, Skype. It's crazy. League is weird
enough. And there's a way to do it. So that you know you have
you don't have that, where they call it ducking. In fact, it's
kind of a, you know, we're just trying to it's competing with
itself trying to decide what to do. Yeah, yeah.
So there's a way to do it. Screw that. thing. Imagine having not
one but two Skype Skype connections to deal with. Just
not not my idea of fun. Ah, anyway, so honey. Oh, well, in
the morning to you, John C dar Tonio.
And in the morning, all the ships at sea and the boots on
the ground, and also the substance of wanting to feet in
the air and all the days and nights out today. And of course,
our human resources in the chat room. No agenda stream.com no
agenda chat. dotnet. Our team is standing by keeping the
streaming server oil, sir Good most lave and certain 19 Drac.
Good to have you guys around. And it is indeed very much like
the Great Depression of 1837. Someone pointed out to me the
other day. And I read the book of knowledge entry. I'm like,
wow, the panic of 1837. I
should call it. Yeah. So it was it wasn't a true depression. No,
but it was panic panics, which is the one we're going to have
in 2017. I thought it was now by the way, I get the biggest kick
out of the you know, the 40 year cycle, which I'm always
promoting, and
promoting, like hoping
for voting. It's it's a it's, it's underway. I mean, it all
the parallels are been coming in like clockwork, during the Obama
versus Nixon comparisons. The Nixon was the president during
the period during the depression of the 70s. And we got the same
kind of thing going on, and some really good reports on what's
what's, you know, the intense attempt to stifle the media and
all the rest of his fat fascinating.
Yeah, you know, I, I've seen it but it to me, it seems like this
is, you know, the, the minority mainstream. Clearly, what do we
what do we call it? We were talking about this the other
day, the corrupt minority known as the mainstream minority,
minorities, unlike us, guardians of reality, that for some
reason, they feel that it's important, or maybe there's a
voting contingent or someone who gives a crap. I mean, you really
have to be at least my age and even I don't really care.
Because I'm not quite old enough. No, because I
remember we were living in Amsterdam, and I was maybe
eight, maybe nine, I think. And my grandmother was sending to my
mom cassette tapes, because of course, there was no satellite.
No, CNN near the Dutch television had two channels.
They started at 7pm with the same guy reading the same dumb
news. And there was no international media to speak of
the way we today's kids know it. So she would eat and mail with
the post cassette tapes at which you would call Of course, the
Watergate tapes. And my mom would listen to them and she
listened to hours and hours of, of Senate testimony.
Yeah, it was on television, actually. And I watched most of
it in rap. I was a little kid but I was watching it rap.
fascinated by it. It was really interesting. They had these
characters and they were all a couple of were weirdos and, and
they're all Me,
too. We had Clarence, Clarence Thomas was kind of hard. Yeah,
it was
a lot. But that wasn't during a depression moment. But no. Great
favorite thing, though, is when I studied it, I was watching
these. These guys and I would notice a couple of tricks. They
pull them as I mentioned, one or two of them, that if you get
called before Congress, and they tried to trick you into either
perjuring yourself or doing whatever. And I think John Dean
was the master of this. Like asked me a question, I'll show
you the proper response.
John, were you involved in bombing Watergate.
I'm not sure I understand the question. Very good. Can you
preface everything with that? And then when they go after you
for lying, say, Oh, well, I made it very clear. I didn't
understand the question. Apparently I did.
I it's interesting. You say that. And could you turn up your
mic a little bit? I need a little more. I can't. And that's
just not enough coming. Okay. There's not enough coming out
here today. All right. All right.
1-234-567-1112 1314 1516.
Perfect. Oh, okay. That just makes so much difference. Yeah,
makes a world of difference. That this this administration,
in particular president, these guys are good. When it comes to
what they say, which I think is one of the reasons why the
President is me. He was really, he's really perfect for the job.
He knows how to most of the time stick to a script entirely. And
you can't catch him on anything. Remember, during the debates, it
was like, Well, you said it was an act of terrorism. So you knew
it was in fact, even if he didn't even say terrorism, it's
an act of terror. I mean, these guys are good. There's one thing
they learned. And of course, there are lawyers, that's why
they do it. You stick to the script to exactly what it is,
and you can never get caught the minute you stray, that's when
you get in trouble.
Right? And they do kind of straight once in a while. And
that's what we that's what we're
that's why we're here. Guardians of reality.
Let me play a couple of clips about the Nixon, Obama
comparison. Okay. Now there, I have a bunch of clips, I have a
background that kind of discusses what's going on with
his ap stuff. But let's just skip the background and go right
in they had the democracy now did a very good job on this
considering what a poor job they did it on a bunch of other
stories. But they they didn't actually wasn't even them. I
think they were flabbergasted. They brought in the guy from the
Pentagon Papers, The New York Times lawyer who went to the
Supreme Court, because the Nixon administration was after the New
York Times trying to bust them. Now, I think you need to explain
the Pentagon, the Pentagon, Pentagon Papers were Daniel
Ellsberg worked for the RAND Corporation, and took 42 volumes
of the history of the beginnings of the Vietnam War home with
him. And then he transcribed them. And he started leaking
this document, which was the origins of the Vietnam War to
the to the New York Times and they started running this stuff.
And after three days, the Nixon administration freaked out and
started suing everybody and trying to get court orders to
stop the publication of this because it was embarrassing. And
they couldn't do it because the supreme court went the other way
on it. And they got stifled, but but all kinds of Fallout
happened. And Nixon went after the media and Nixon when he was
beginning of the end for the administration. That
was it at the time. Because, you know, luckily, you witnessed
that you were really a part of that. Was it really analogous to
what we're seeing here? And you know, when you say Nixon went
after the media, I mean, was that like AP being investigated,
or whatnot,
the parallels are exactly the same. The difference is, the
media is flat footed now. And it wasn't, it wasn't just
a compromise, compromise back then they were actually
investigating stuff. Well, they were
still compromised, but not to the extreme they are today. So
now they're flabbergasted. And it's not. It's not turning out
quite as they can actually lose this battle. And with these
clips, you'll see that if they do, and it's all really about
Julian Assange, by the way. Yeah. So it makes it very
interesting. That media has done, we have we'll have no free
press at all. But let's play. They asked the guy that from the
New York Times from the L, the the Pentagon Papers era, about
whether what Obama is doing today is as bad or worse than
what Nixon was doing. And I think the analysis is good,
especially for all the Obama bots out there. And I've met a
couple recently. Yeah.
So I hear Wait, wait, wait, stop. Do I bring that up now? Or
do I bring that up?
What the Pentagon Papers case is about is censorship. And lawyers
call it prior restraint. And after publishing for three days,
all of a sudden, we were in court. And several days later,
really, we were in the Supreme Court. So the times came into
it, because I believed and those of the times believed that this
was an outrage, and that the First Amendment protected us and
that the government had no ability to come in and tell us
not what we shouldn't print sorry for double negative or
what we should print and we put our troops together and beat him
with a stick. rubber hose.
So now let's go on to the Nixon clip number three, where We
discussed the Pentagon Papers a little deeper. That was number
three. Oh, that's why Oh, no, no, no,
no, no, I'm sorry. No, you're right clip number. I have no
idea what I'm doing here. I'm just guessing. So that was
number three. What was the one that you want?
Number three that you wanted to play number two, which is the
which is the one I wanted them neck and neck. And that was
making neck and neck? Yeah, Nick. No. Yeah.
That's so obvious from the point you were making? No, no. I
said number two? No,
I didn't hear that. I'm sorry. Can I play them out of order?
And we'll pretend that we're hearing this first.
No, this is fine. That clip was was valid. But plate number two?
Well, for more, we turn to guest two as a rather informed opinion
on whether President Obama has been worse than President Nixon
in their targeting of the press for published leaked
information. Joining us here in New York is James Godot. He is
the counsel was the counsel for the New York Times in the
Pentagon Papers case, a leading legal expert on the First
Amendment has just published a new book fighting for the press
why the Pentagon Papers case still matters. We welcome you to
Democracy Now.
Thank you very much for having me.
You say that President Obama is worse than President?
Well, more precisely, I say that if in fact it goes ahead and
prosecutes Julian Assange, he will pass and Nixon. He's he's
close to Nixon. Now. The AP example is a good example of
something that Obama has done. But Nixon never did. So I have
him presently, in second place, behind Nixon, and ahead of Bush
two, and he's moving on fast. And if he goes ahead against
Assad regime, he'll he'll at least be even and we'll have to
see how that prosecution of it takes place. comes out, because
maybe you'll pass him.
Well, that dovetails with something else regarding
Assange. But I think a hold on to it to see where you were you.
Okay, well, let's go to the next which is clip four, we already
know, the Pentagon Papers, and censorship is just a small
element where we come back to Assange, it's this all comes
back to our official purpose wraps with us perfect. It for
Okay,
after the Pentagon Papers ended, which was a case about
censorship. Mitchell, who was Nixon's Attorney General got
very excited about prosecuting in the New York Times people
forgotten about that. So we convened a grand jury in Boston,
because there was some evidence that the Pentagon Papers have
been circulated in the anti war community before they were
published by The New York Times and The theory was that the New
York Times reporter, conspired with those anti war protesters,
and he was going to indict them for conspiracy. So now fast
forward, what is Obama doing? He's convened a grand jury. We
haven't heard about it. I think it's still there. I think it may
have even indicted Assange and secrecy. But what's the charge
conspiracy? Well, we don't expect our listeners to be
lawyers and jump up and down when they hear the word
conspiracy. I just want to tell you in the audience, it's very
easy to prove conspiracy, very hard to prove espionage under
the Espionage Act. So what Obama's doing is doing an end
run and trying to get an easy case against Assange, after he's
convicted. Manning Caesar convict Manning. Okay, so that
easy conviction, then becomes the basis for the agreement for
your side?
Well, let me let me ask you a question now. Because I was just
even though I hadn't really clearly understood the whole
Assange angle here. I was the and we'll get to it later why I
was looking at Assange again today. The way I recall it,
WikiLeaks didn't, you know, take this information from Manning
and put it online. They went to their partners, which was New
York Times Time Magazine, Der Spiegel, The Guardian. They sat
down and then collectively decided, okay, here's the stuff
we want to publish. First, we'll send it to the State Department,
by the way to see if they want us to redact anything then
whenever they all okay, well, you can publish all that. Then
they published it in mainstream publications. Yeah. But I, if
you listen to the narrative, not this, but the narrative in
general, there is this belief that WikiLeaks took stolen
information, published it everywhere and got Americans
killed. Yeah, that's not true.
Right. Well, they did publish the whole Orla pile more than
showed up in the New York Times.
Only after though it's a long time at that would probably be
the
part they're bitching but I don't know. Because I like he
says there's apparently been a grant a secret grand jury. A lot
of stuff in this administration is
most true Is parent administration in the universe?
What are you talking about what your problem
is, and a secret indictment, which is just waiting, which is
the reason apparently Assange has some clue about this. Let's
see, that was clip four. There's this play five these are there's
this one's a little long, but so it was that one. But we will get
further
interested in why you're taking this, I have not heard any of
this type of analysis anywhere. So this is
great. Yeah, play five, then
wake up. There's danger out there. You may not like the
size. But wake up. The First Amendment is really going to be
damaged if Obama goes forward. And as I said, at the beginning
of show, if he does, and it succeeds, he will have
succeeded, where Nixon failed.
Let's play a clip from WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange when he
was on democracy. Now, last November, he warns about the
consequences of the Espionage Act being reinterpreted.
Now, the new interpretation of the Espionage Act that the
Pentagon is trying to hammer in to the legal system in which the
Department of Justice is complicit in would mean the end
of national security journalism in the United States. And not
only the United States, because the Pentagon is trying to apply
this extra dude, extra territorially, why would it be
the end of national security journalism? Because the
interpretation is that if any document that the US government
claims to be classified, is given to a journalist, who then
makes any part of it public, that journalist has committed
espionage, and the person who gave them the material has
committed the crime communicating with the enemy?
Well, just a nice take. And now, yeah, you can use your horn
years. And now you want to get two more of these out of the
way? Um,
no, I want I want you to run
by this. Number six is the summary. That is not the last
clip. By the way, there's one more because there's a little
there's a little gotcha, that I had to get, which is clip seven,
but PLAY CLIP six, and you get a kind of a summary of what's
what, what's going to happen to us all
quite right about talking about the threat to journalism with
respect to the way Obama is going about or prosecuting. What
lawyers like to say is that, if in fact, the prosecution goes
forward, as Julian Assange has said, it criminalizes news
gathering, because I talk to you and ask you to give me a secret
or anything, but in fact, that anything may be classified.
We're all both gonna go off to the hoosegow. And, you know,
Obama's is class classified, I think, 7 million, in one year,
classified 7 million documents, everything's classified. So that
would give the government the ability to control all its
information on the theory that's classified. And if everybody
asked for it, and gets it, they're complicit, and they're
gonna go to jail. So that criminalizes the process. And it
means that the dissemination of information which is inevitable
out of the classified sources of that information will be
stopped.
So does this mean that Julian Assange really is a dumb Patsy
and was set up by the CIA, I guess I will maybe, you know,
some other agency. But he was set up for all this to take
place so that the redefinition of the Soviet conspiracy now
could be redefined as espionage. Is that what I'm here? I
think, you know, I never would, I didn't take it to that level.
But I can see that argument being made. And if you notice,
if you remember, over the last, probably the last year and a
half on this show, we have run a lot of clips about over
classification. We hadn't got there was a lot of hearings
about declassified documents, well, what qualifies as a number
of sessions, we've never brought it all together, we never saw
the larger picture, until this guy comes out and starts
talking.
Well, of course, whenever So, today, in today's world, no
matter what it is, whether it's global warming, you just gotta
immediately think global cooling. If someone says most
transparent in the university, you gotta think they're locking
it down. It's just it's, I know, it sounds nuts, but this
inversion, that's exactly where you have to go. And you're
usually this is the new outcomes razor. But if whatever someone
tells you just think the opposite. That's going to be the
truth.
You might want to just play right now the little clip Nixon
on heroes.
Yeah. I think it is time in this country to quit making national
heroes out of those who steal secrets and publish them in the
news. Paper.
Whoa, wait, do we don't we have Obama saying that?
That challenge is the 40 year cycle? Wow.
Great if not he, oh my goodness, if not,
here's a here's a secret tape that Nixon made about Daniel
Ellsberg and the Pentagon Papers. And this is probably
going on in the White House too. Just because
some guy is going to be a martyr, we
can't be in a position of allowing the farmer to get away
with this kind of wholesale thievery or otherwise, it's
going to happen all over the government. I just say that we
got to keep our eye on the main ball. They mean balls, Ellsberg.
We got to get this out. Yeah, great.
And you use the IRS to do that? Well, of
course you do. Now,
I'll play one more. Another offhanded clip, which is a
little different, which is Jeremy Scahill wrote this book
called World is a battlefield. Yeah. And this little summary,
which is I have been fortunate to have a clip twice. But to
play this clip, and this kind of summarize where we're kind of
headed the content, I want to play one last clip, but
the world is battlefield. Actually, it's not something I
thought up. It's a doctrine, actually a military doctrine,
called operational preparation of the battlespace, which views
the world is a battlefield. And what it says is that if there
are countries where you predict where the military predicts that
conflicts are likely, or that war is a possibility, you can
forward deploy troops to those countries to prepare the
battlefield. And under both Bush and Obama, the world has been
declared the battlefield, you know that the authorization for
the use of military force that was passed after 911 is is
technically the law that that President Obama and his
administration point to when they say they have a right to
drone strike in Yemen, because these people are connected to
the 911 attacks. And the brown come on facing reality. One of
the enduring legacies of the Obama presidency is going to be
that he solidified this Cheney esque view of the of the US
government, which says that when it comes to foreign policy, that
the executive branch is effectively a dictatorship.
Wow. You know, I can see Obama bots freaking out, but we're
hearing that wait a minute, Obama is continuing the Cheney
legacy. Oh, yeah. Well, I mean, there's
some interesting congressional hearings, I have some clips of
relate to this. But before I dropped this, and you can do
your Assange thing, I want to play this. Because one thing
turned up during the discussion with Obama and the Nixon thing
and all the rest of it. And this whole Associated Press thing
they decided to, they want to pass in a new shield law. Yeah.
Well, I had the idea, the shield law. So now, when I think I
actually have a hold on, this will lead right into it's a
very, very short clip.
Because this one may give away yours.
No. Okay. Now, just tell me which one is it? What am I
playing?
I don't know, irony.
Irony. Okay.
We go, what about the the irony of the Obama administration
after the news of the of their surveillance of the AP comes
out, then going to Chuck Schumer and say, We need a stronger
shield law, and that
I have this whole history in my book. And I just thought that
was quite ridiculous, because the bill that the Obama asked
Schumer to put into the house has an exception for national
security. In other words, you're, and you're talking about
national security, the law doesn't apply. What is the whole
controversy about today with respect to AP, it's about a
national security exception to the privilege that you would
think reporters would otherwise have. So Obama puts it out
thinking the public doesn't know what I know. And I'm really
going to be good to reporters, but it doesn't protect them at
all in the AP situation.
Yeah. So I don't have to play my clip. So that so this is
actually a law that the President tried to well, he
didn't try to get it through. It was in I don't think he didn't
pass the House didn't pass Congress. But it's exactly what
it was like, Okay, you have the right to report anything you
want. But we've got to have this little thing called national
security. We'll have, of course, a blue ribbon panel of judges.
And whenever we decide that you really can't report on this,
because this is international in the interest of national
security, then you won't be able to report on it. And they wanted
to take that out. And then the President instead of saying he
would veto the bill, he sent all of his minions saying Oh, no,
you got to put that in. So of course, if that was actually put
into law, which I don't think it would ever happen. that would
that would be the final nail that would be the police state,
we'd be there and that The would be the perfect the perfect wrap
up. Here's a spokes all Carney because everyone had to go out
and do the rounds. And you know, of course, talk about how
incredibly transparent they are. And he even went on piers. More
on he was on an on everyone show in the news guys spot on if you
noticed that. So they took him out of context and put them in
front of the White House where all the news people normally
standing to do their stand up intros to their pre produced
packages.
Final question, Jay Carney, obviously, the President made a
big deal when he came into office of being not like
previous administrations and was going to be much more
transparent. The charge today, after this week is that you have
had that reputation for transparency pretty heavily
dented, do you accept that sort of general pictured? How are you
going to move on now and restore perhaps faith that some
Americans have lost this week in your openness and honesty? Well,
I'm not sure again, you're you're concocting scandals here
that don't exist, especially with regards to the Benghazi
affair that was contrived by Republicans. I think
this guy's he's a piece of work is I mean, he's a Benghazi
affair was contrived by Republicans.
Never happened it was the Republicans dreamed it up.
No. And oh, by the way, great mainstream media and every year
and even in in the Rocky Mountains and finished Kearney
finish are largely
this week. The fact of the matter is that this
administration has a record of transparency that does any
previous administrations, and we are committed to that the
President is committed to that.
Jay Carney, you've probably been the busiest man in Washington
this week. And for that reason, if nothing else, I genuinely
appreciate you taking the time to come and talk to me tonight.
Piers, I was glad to do it. Thank you for having I was
glad to do a trace. Yeah. So there's a couple sides to this
coin. And I think this is really fabulously funny to see them
going into this into this danger, you know, mode of trying
to fix things. On the other side of this coin, something very
important changed in the US Code. And I'm I'm I'm not quite
sure. I think the change was made it slipped by us. I'm sure
it was one of these 1000 Page bills that I you know, I read
most of but even I can't, I can't find everything. So this
is now almost a week ago, the subtle change in the US Code,
titled defense support of civilian law enforcement
agencies, and this relates to Boston, the military has quietly
granted itself the ability to police the streets without
obtaining prior local or state consent. Oh appending a
precedent of course that has been in place for more than two
years. Federal military commanders have the authority in
extraordinary emergency circumstances where prior
authorization by the president is impossible, and duty
constituents and duty constituted local authorities
are unable to control the situation to engage temporarily
in activities that are necessary to quell large scale unexpected
civil disturbances. Riots. Yeah, so this beats out the entire
concept of posse common TARDIS. And I think now I'm thinking
whether it was a part of it or not, is pretty much irrelevant.
Boston was a litmus test for this. For taking something that
was not a huge outrage. I mean, it was it was bad. But there
were people were not rioting in the streets, and put 9000 troops
and combination of militarized police on the streets. But there
were there were rousting people from their home. Yes and no
protecting them at the end at the barrel of a gun gun. What
was it? Not protecting them? It was saving them what what know
what was the term they used? Was it saving saving them?
Oh, it's something it was
something crazy like that. There's a new there's a new
player on the scene and all of this. And this is where I came
up with the Assange stuff for today. It's
hard to imagine that anyone would alter this indelible image
of bombing victim Martin Richard to promote a cause. But that's
just what someone did, and then posted the photoshopped picture,
we will not show on Twitter. It's made a lot of people angry,
including a self described hacktivist for good who goes by
the Twitter handle Jester. Jester would not reveal his true
identity and he would only communicate with us using a
secure private chat service. He says over the last few weeks
he's been targeting people he believes are trying to
capitalize on the marathon tragedy, gesture as published
the name, phone number and address of the person he blames
for the doctored Martin Richard photo. He's also launched denial
of service attacks on websites belonging to people associated
with movements that claim the bombings are a government
conspiracy. One of those sites has still not recovered.
So, you know, we've always been very intrigued by WikiLeaks by
anonymous, you know, because you know, whenever you are
anonymous, you could easily be a front for a government agency.
And so
this went and of course, we know that Hillary had set these
operations up. Yes, sir. So quoting in Great Britain,
yes, or so called techno experts, and not just Great
Britain, but even a targeting Russia. She set the Met, she
had, there was a whole, like 5000 of them in in former Soviet
states.
So So Wester is on here.
Check this out. So this led me to just a little bit of
research. Here is a presentation from I think Fanelli is his name
from the US Cyber Command. He's doing a PowerPoint presentation
for Homeland Security, talking about cybersecurity, and all of
a sudden,
and here's maybe where I get a little controversial, who
he's gonna get controversial on your ass. This is this is a
unique domain. And the fact that we're used to in warfare, the
fact that you can train large masses of individuals to
accomplish a strategic effect or a tactical effect, or an
operational effect. And usually, that requires teamwork
cooperation. This is a domain of warfare where one individual can
make a difference in both negative and positive and, and
you can argue whether or not this is negative or positive,
but you know, upon the initial publication of WikiLeaks, I
argue that that was large it was it was largely damaging to a lot
of people out there around the world. The information that was
released, compromised our abilities to do do certain
things around the world, and it compromised our reputation. We
should have had the, we should have had the capability, the
community's capability to inherently protect herself from
self defense, and shut it down. To date, my knowledge is that
only one individual has shut it down. All right, the Patriot
hacker known as the jester, for all intensive purposes, has been
the only individual to stop WikiLeaks, PayPal, MasterCard,
and visa went after them, as well, in the corporate realm,
they they cease payments for supporters of WikiLeaks, but to
actually physically stop the servers from processing data.
The gesture is the only one that has done it.
So that to me was just like, hold on a second. This patriotic
hacktivist which is a contradiction in terms these
days, is doing a lot of very interesting stuff.
Most of its seemingly illegal Yeah. And is being
heralded for it by US Cyber Command. How can that be? It?
The guy's wearing a uniform when he's doing this presentation?
This guy, yeah, this guy. So to me, that means that it's all?
Oh, yeah. Really clearly, clearly. An operation on the
inside?
Yeah, it's a government operation, obviously. Yeah.
So, you know, and then you bring around this, and this is kind of
why I'm thinking WikiLeaks. Drake makes so much sense. Now.
You know, Assange is just, they just need to get him. They just
need to get them in their hands. I totally believe the idea of,
of there being secret grand jury indictment. And, you know,
they'll get this done. I really, actually don't have any doubts.
They're gonna get done what they want done. They
know, there are much more talent. I mean, this is, again,
this is the I think the public's coming around to this belief
that this is a small group of people that are trying to trying
to they've taken over the government. I think it started
with change,
meaning no, no, no. No, please. It started with Bush. It started
with Bush a conflict it continued through the Clinton
dynasty.
Yeah, you're right. Probably just start with HW Yeah. Oh,
yeah.
It's totally started with HW who, you know, he brought CIA
all the way into,
right. But he's the head of the CIA. So he takes over the place,
and then Clinton comes in out of the blue. Yeah. And he's the
neoliberal, you know, of all time, and doesn't really change
any policies and booths, essentially more of a Republican
and a Democrat. If you really look at it. And you end up with
the situation we've got now which is it's too late.
Did you see?
And they're making plans for the riots. Yeah,
they're all right. Good to go. We're ready for that to happen.
Did you Did you see what both the President and the Vice
President were doing? but it was like, I don't know who's running
damage control over there, you know when they need you know,
because this there's a huge companies we talk about them all
the time, Hill and Knowlton is a very, very famous one. And you
know, it's like when you've got something you got to come up
with some kind of distraction. You know, of course, we had the
called Clooney Clunies. And I got nothing called Angelina
Jolie. Angelina said, Well, just this thing I did. And but of
course, you can always have children. And so the President
goes off and visit some pre kindergarteners. And I'm
disappointed he didn't say hi, everybody said hello. I mean,
come on, get these kids early. But listen to what in this
little clip here of what all of a sudden the teacher like it's
going to remind the slaves to be and by the way, in this
particular connotation slaves is not such a good thing because
the classroom was all black kids. So I don't want to get
caught on that later because yes, I did see the video. So the
whole thing was just weird.
He actually said hi
while he said it.
See you guys. How's everybody doing today? I'm gonna say hi to
your teachers first. Great
to see you listen to the cameras.
DJ get a clue camera guys you don't need to make his racket
cameras are drawn our favorite zoo animal. Is a snake. big
snake
remember first, okay. Remember, while we told you Shut up slave,
listen to the President. You're not supposed to be talking think
that
they audition the photographer's that they bring them in they go.
Now shutters not
done set not fast enough.
You got to have it? Yeah.
So of course, you can't have Vice President Joe Biden
standing with a bunch of kindergarteners because that's
creepy, and everyone knows it. It's like we can have so Biden
didn't greet some letters. Let
me tell you about this picture. I'm looking at a binder, a
binder full of kids full of letters from a group of third
graders from North Philadelphia. And they all wrote to me about
guns. My mom used to have an expression. Out of the mouths of
babes come Gems of Wisdom is pablum. These little kids, they
understand, because a lot of them have seen the effects of
gun violence in the streets. I want to read to you a little bit
about what these kids and one of the city's most impoverished
schools have to say,
and I will I could go on forever. But the whole thing is
just really that's your idea. That's like, Oh, I know what we
can do. And well, I might as well just get a couple clips out
of the way here. So here is your compromised minority News
Service, because that's what the mainstream is. And people don't
believe them anymore. You're right. And as you as you stated,
they're, the people are catching on. Here's NBC, comparing all of
this that's going on to a blip. It's just it's like a little
blip. Little ping scandal, just
one of the political controversy facing the Obama administration
right now. But this morning, the President is trying to move past
them
they'd say, president's keeping things in perspective and
believes this is just a blip. They'll bounce back in the na t
Mr. Obama does not feel under siege this week. The New York
Times reporting the President has talked longingly of going
Bulworth taxpayers. Thanks man.
This is a very interesting thing that was done here. So this is
the I haven't seen this movie is what was it was that with Warren
Beatty.
A bull bull bar was lower. Bulworth, or
I don't know, was that the name of the title of the movie? Yeah,
it was as he was a politician. Yeah, so a politician who Oh
worth I think who all of a sudden decides to speak the
truth.
Right. And yeah, and see, I think he was die for was dying.
I don't know the story. Yeah. Bulworth. 1998.
So So the President is privately saying now saying in meetings
and I'll just roll this back saying we so we can listen to
this in context, that he's going Bulworth? In other words, he's
just flapping it all out there. He's telling the honest truth
because in this movie, kind
of an old reference nobody gets upset that
nothing this movie was a big hit either. I mean, I wasn't it
wasn't a
moderately it was only had three stars on the major reviews.
Well, let's listen again to what how they're bringing to me. It's
like so who they gotta fire somewhere. Someone's had quit go
stand next to kids. Oh Jotun kid just read these letters. And
then,
and I got PR people running the show. Yeah. Let's
tell everyone. It's both. So current I think Carney has been
removed from this. He is not running this show for show
that would be why he was doing the standard. Yes, exactly.
Because he's there. He's on his way out here. I'm putting it in
the,
in the book, put it in the book say Mr. Obama does not feel
under siege this week. The New York Times reporting the
President has talked longingly of going Bulworth taxpayers,
referencing the movie featuring Warren Beatty as a Senator who
suddenly decides to speak his mind, whatever the political
costs,
or he's gonna have a mental breakdown. That may have been
what the movie was about to.
And he told me that in meetings this week about how to handle
these bubbling controversies, the President is deflected the
idea that it's been a bad week, Maddy said, You know what a bad
week was a bad week was when there was oil flowing into the
Gulf of Mexico. A bad week is when four Americans were killed
in Benghazi. This isn't a bad week.
He's the he's like the Gipper. He's awesome. Yeah. And then,
and you always got to throw in a little Chris Matthews, because,
you know, the it isn't complete until he's called you a racist.
But the problem is there are people in this country maybe 10.
For him why he's with Al Sharpton. I
think he was going Aha, yeah, preach. Yeah.
I don't know what the number may be 20% on a bad day, who wants
this President to have an asterisk next to it 20% On a bad
day, to his name in the history books, that he really wasn't
president. You know, like a guy in baseball that used drugs.
They wanted to say, well, he really didn't have that batting
average. He really wasn't the first African American
president. He really didn't do health care. He really didn't
kill bin Laden. There's an asterisk. No, he didn't fighting
for that, that people like Donald Trump since day one, they
can't stand the idea that he's president and a piece of it is
racism. Not that somebody in one racial group doesn't like
somebody another racial group. So what is the sense that the
white race must rule
that's right.
White Power my brother
What is wrong with him? All in on Obama? And of course he he
has to be I see I think he grits his teeth a little bit when he
has to talk to Sharpton because they have to do a throw to you
know, because where they changed from one show to another Yeah.
And sometimes he just looks like it because he's it has to be
embarrassing. Sharpton is an out and out idiot. And MSNBC should
be ashamed of themselves for even having him on the air do
they think that black folk that you know that are all over the
place? watch MSNBC which is a white man's did you just say
black folk, black folk? Do you think the black folk are
watching Sharpton?
Yes, they're watching them brother owl. Oh, they're not His
gifts. They are rolling
their eyes like everybody.
So I've been saving this these two clips for three weeks. So
while we're on it, just idiocy. Have you seen the edge show?
Yes, of course.
Most of this Edie who appeared
Schwartz. He's the worst. So he apparently
is a private pilot. And he's got he's got a nice airplane by he's
got a million dollar aircraft, Thea politesse. And he's flying
around the country. He's doing a tour. And on this tour, here's a
little piece
of an oar by General Electric.
I might add here. Here is a little bit of him speaking.
Well, Mr. Boehner wants to give these guys a vote again, because
there's again, this is onstage doing his tour and when he's has
a leather jacket on, and a barstool on stage 70 people
he says, in the house that have never voted on Obamacare before
he wants to give them the chance he'll let's go back and vote on
women's rights. Can they still vote when I have a vote on that?
Maybe we should do something on civil rights or the Voting
Rights Act. These people aren't living in reality, the country
has voted twice for Barack Obama. There is no doubt that
the Supreme Court gave the ruling which is best for the
country for the greater good, which is in the Constitution.
And
well, the greater good is in the Constitution. Can you? I don't
know. Of course, it's not
like he's just full of crap, as usual, just said,
it's in the Constitution that you can do things for the
greater good. No, it's not. No, I will say I could be mistaken.
Well, let's
go take a look to constitutions online. We can search it. And
is there is this you will I'll point out the remaining 10
seconds of this
constitution. And we will never give up this fight to make sure
that every American has a chance at decent health care coverage
in this country. Liberals. That's who we are we care about
our neighbors.
So while you're looking up, I want to play a little of the
opening montage to show you how insane this guy is. He thinks he
is the president. So you'll hear hear him talking and then
they'll cut to the president back and forth like he'd like
he's the vice president or he's like the President's keeper or
his guardian angel or some twisted thing. This is the
opening montage of his tour
going around America is a big part of telling the story. Fire
and
talking about infrastructure investors driving, rising,
middle class invested in education and a dynamic
cutting edge route
back with a serious
kind of an edge want to repeal the law? Is that clear? We will
not back down from that Mike.
So when you do this kind of thing, you're weird. He's really
the really thinks he's all that in the bag of chips in his brown
leather jacket, as you find the greater good in the Constitution
not
in there and you're sure because of other funny stuff
in the Constitution as last Constitution
on some of the mother's answer forums where people jump in the
Constitution is not designed for the communistic Dogma of the
greater good. It was designed to protect individual sovereignty
the constitution provides for the common defense promote the
general welfare but we the peoples always been denoted as a
protection for individuals creating the people not as a
member of a minority group but as a minority of AI the
individual with equal rights and freedom for everyone
individually,
I'm looking at the chat room here's the greater good in the
Constitution can be found along a paved road with good
intentions to hell. Okay, so don't think that the
Constitution that's online doesn't include the read between
the lines text that is being referred to wow, it's not in
there. I've read it a couple times. I really don't think it's
in there.
No, it's not in there. The common welfare might be in there
and it is common defense and general welfare. No, no to
meaningless comm concept this other guy says and let's take
him literally when in which case only possible meaning is the sum
of the good of all individual men involved. Now this guy's
this guy's in a hole this edge Schwartz
Hey, let me just stop for a second John. And I'd like to
take a moment and congratulate you on World Trade Week which is
coming up this week. Oh,
and by the trade some world and
that's exactly right. And by presidential proclamation, it is
Emergency Medical Services week. So all of my favorite em, em
technicians we do they will be handing out extra hell ball if
you wig out this week. So that's congratulations and last night
John as somehow we forgot to discuss that we forgot to call
it but it is a tradition here on the no agenda program which is
also known as we always celebrate the winner of what is
that Pam?
Grant was making bet you weren't you were gonna forget about
how can I forget the Eurovision Song Contest? Ladies and
gentlemen, congratulations to the people's nation of Gitmo
Denmark, for winning with Emily de forez. The song is only
teardrops of good little bitty I like it because it has like a
little piccolo at the beginning. It's got some good militaristic
drums going on. And she's smoking hot. Have you seen her?
She's 20 years old.
And she likes bicycling and walking in the rain.
Now, there's something bad though. Controversy. Oh, yeah.
So the nettle. So first of all, this is it gets really sad. So
England sent Bonnie Tyler who had a number one hit in the 80s
with it's a heartache. And yet she had a very distinct vocal.
Remember that song, John? Yeah. Can you sing two bars,
two bars, two bars,
and the Netherlands and a nuke? Who has a very good singer, and
has had I don't know if she ever really had international success
but very well respected in the Netherlands. And this is the
thing that I recommend against because you have strikes against
you. By doing this as an established artist, even though
it's the Eurovision Song Contest. It's only supposed to
be about the song and And it appears that the Danish song the
winning song was stolen blatantly ripped off from an
existing Dutch group what yes so the song
by maybe she's just doing a cover
no no he's not a cover but I was a cover No, here they are side
by side I didn't do this mix but it's kind of side by side. So
here's the winning song by Emily did the forez from Denmark
and in a moment we'll switch over to chaotic from I think
almost 10 years ago maybe hear the same song it is it really
is. Like it gets this is just the intro wait until you hear
the like the hook so I'm gonna get get to it here so there's
the winning song from Denmark
Here we go. Get ready
so I think we should be bombing Denmark any minute now. The
World War Three can commence. They ripped us off.
That is funny. Same song. I mean it No, no, it's the same song.
It's actually actionable.
very actionable. I just thought that'd be fun. It was very
funny. And with that, I think we should thank I see the
spreadsheet came in so we can thank anyone who supported us.
We've been having some issues with the Sunday show on I think
you've even put out a plea and said Please,

code. Actually, JC may rewrite all this. And
Kenny is right that in JavaScript? Yeah. Well, we'll
see I'm extra to what he's learned, but not very much.
You just start promising things. ITM gentleman when I'm
President, I can assure you the first thing I will do is close
down Guantanamo. You could take that to the bank. Hold on
a second. Where is that? I can never find that one. You can
take that to the bank.
Then I will broadcast no agenda constantly over the giant voice

distraction of the week wind is hot pockets. 2010 tour start
dockets.
So it's funny you ask that because two things happened you
know, I did wind up buying a miss Macie replacement vehicle a
Ford Expedition from 2005. Not really the miles I want had
100,000 miles on it. But you know, of course, but it was a
clean car. And I spent the extra I think $800 And I have like a
huge warranty on it. Because that's the thing that I messed
up on on the on the Range Rover. So you're now on it's like, Oh,
I hear some something in the engine, I don't care. Because
that thing will fall apart and I can take it back in they'll fix
it for free. Or kind of for free. But this thing has the
huge 5.7 engine. I mean, Miss make you
go to the gas station, grab the pump and just shoot it under the
ground.
And so Miss Macie already because of course, you know,
it's meant for either six children or, you know, a huge
payload. And so she already did a 180 turning onto the highway
35 It's like you got to learn the accelerator a little bit in
that thing. And our our producer Brandon here in Austin okay. All
sudden he sent me an email said just so you know, you know that
35 foot trailer, the one with the TV screen that automatically
pops up and everything that one we couldn't pull with with with
the pickup truck. He says whenever you need it. So the
thinking is when we get back from our European trip, which
will be relatively short in the beginning of August. The idea is
maybe to hook up Brandon's trailer to the to the
expedition, and then go up to Seattle and then maybe drive
down the west coast a little bit before heading back.
Yeah, sounds good. Hmm,
you come in you come in with
no. Okay.
So that's the answer there.
Okay. Onward Volvo plus tuning in Raleigh, North Carolina 250.

help. Sunday.
Slash and a That's right,
Sunday, the beginning of a new week trying to go out and
propagate that formula.
Our formula is this. We go out. We hit people in the mouth
shut so I realized that you probably met up with our friends
from Austin. Laurie Frick and her husband Mark. Yeah. How was
that? Did they talk to you about it? However, I'm just asking how
it was? I think they're sweet. That was yeah, they are but NASA
just to set the stage. These are the Obama bots.
I didn't realize that till about halfway through them.
Anyway, it was a meeting you had. Oh, you guys are the Obama
bots.
Oh, I've always wanted to meet you if
you actually said that, didn't you? Pretty much.
So Miss Mickey received an email this morning. Okay, John C.
Dvorak. This is from Laurie suggested I report that he was
an incredible prick and keep his reputation intact. But in fact,
he was gracious. chatty, charming, and we talked for at
least
two hours, did a show.
He met my dealer Edward and grilled him on the world of art
and art fairs. Then we had wine at the Gucci greens restaurant
on the pier, and talked and gossiped about all sorts of
things. Seriously. Good was the highlight of the day. Thanks for
urging him to come. Even Mark liked him.
So you told me you told me that you said to them, he's gonna be
mean to you.
I had to set expectations. Because, you know, and I like
these people. Even if they're Obama bots, doesn't matter. I
like him. I don't like crazy Republicans either. And now, but
you know, I was like, I don't want to, you know, because,
look, you're an acquired taste. For the I remember the first
time you met Mickey, we had dinner, and you are such a
douchebag. And she was and she hated you. And she got so mad.
And this is like the Let's go over this correct she got so mad
in the car
she This is because you got plastered. No, I did not get
eight Juwan was you missed it? Yes. That's my point are you
you're being steamed up after that episode.
She actually said get out of the car. And I said I'm not getting
out of the car. Get out of the car. I did my part. You were
horrible and but it was like some experiment like you're
like, Oh, I got a great idea. Let's let's they love each
other. He's just left his wife for her. Let's screw with their
heads. That's the truth. Devorah that's what you did admit it
was a little bit of that.
Yeah, there was a little bit of that. So anyway, whatever
happens
somewhere I from my perspective, the holes that that particular
night was hilarious.
It was it was like our first fight. Not to be the last.
So anyway, yeah, no, I liked it to him. But we ended up talking
mostly about art movements. arches, you know, she sold
out. What? What do you mean? She sold out?
All her works that were at that example.
Oh, I'm telling you. She was incredibly successful.
One Piece went for 12 grand.
I'm telling you, she's hugely successful. And I see I see
people copying what she does.
She sold out today. I think they're still running today.
She's got nothing to sell.
Unbelievable. And I mean, not unbelievable, but fantastic.
From what the hell? They're paying for dinner next time.
That's why I told them after she said where you guys are buying
really?
Where's her donation? No, they're listening. You know,
they're listening. Oh,
no, I know. They're gonna talk about what are you talking about
it? Yeah, but where's your donation? Where's your where's
your Dame hood? Where's your
HP hacks from the HP 3000 A vignette?
I think she worked at vignette. Maybe I think she started
vignette. Maybe?
I don't remember that. I shouldn't say anything about it.
That's a nice thing.
piny minor. No, that was No. No, you mean the publishing
platform? Yeah, no. Oh, yeah. Oh, no.
Another one a Halsey miners little creations. We already
make more money than God.
Really? I don't remember. I may just be confused with someone
else. I
mean, maybe you're confused with what she was part of. I thought
that my energy I looked it up.
I maybe she was well, woman says Laurie Frick. That's really
probably was
born. And thanks for being a vignette software snap NBC. I
see. I told you. I think she was a co founder.
I don't. I could. Oh, I wish I had known that. Because I would
love to gossip about Halsey minor.
Yeah. Well, you need what is wrong with you? Are you living
in this age? When you meet with someone? The first thing you do
is Wikipedia and Google them.
I I just went in and did the well, I could have, but I looked
at her YouTube video on from TED X. And bitched about Ted a lot
of times of this meeting. Yeah, I'm sure she agreed with you on
that. Oh, yes, she did, actually. Yeah. And so I could
recognize her but she wouldn't admit
to it because that would blow her chances of being in the TED
crowd.
Well, anyway, so I wanted to see what she looked like so and then
watching someone on video because I recognize them and
it's just uh, I didn't do much more research than that.
Anyway they are they are my favorite Obama bots
without Without doubt
how they feel about all this stuff but the Obama extension of
the CHENEY
Well, I think we're meeting on the psyche
is like it shows they just they just don't live here.
I think I should do a presentation at our next dinner.
Yeah, and
like a TEDx speech. No, but eight minutes
no, no, I'll do a boring I'll play some video clips. And here
is here's MSNBC this is your channel let me just show you
what you may have missed while you were out selling art again.
The richest people I know are Democrats There you go. Once
again. Good work.
Adams gonna read his E man Adams gonna read Izzy Adams gonna read
his email on the no know agenda show. So there's
only a couple of things that that came in, you know, I'm
still in a never ending search for young and to listen to this
program. And by the way I did the scariest email I got was the
following. Your name is being tarnished by negative
information online. What can you do to prevent this? Have you
gotten any of the He's
not for a while I think they go into my spam box because I don't
really get spam
do something now Time is not on your side. Wouldn't it be
terrible if your loving family current boss, the people you
live beside or your close friends see this embarrassing
and potentially career ending information? And I'm like, You
mean the show notes? Hello, Adam says producer Brendan, I'm a 17
year old high school student at my school about an hour and a
half northwest of Toronto, and an air we have tornado drills.
What happens during this you ask? Well, the principal or some
other Bozo gets on the giant voice system, and tells us to
get in the halls and crouch down against the lockers that he
proceeds to blow into the microphone to simulate wind
noise. What's
this is a test. No one takes him seriously. So while in the
halls, everyone pulls out their phones and Snapchats each other.
The last lockdown drill we had I was in the library cops came to
watch us have this lockdown drill and pound on the window
with their guns. We are locked into a small room with windows
facing the street, which makes all of about 50 of us in this
room sitting duck should a real threat be present in the
morning. Adios mofos producer Brendan there in Toronto. So
this is proof that what you see on television is not what's
really going on in the world. People are smart, the new
generation is smart, the kids are smart, they just need an
outlet. And they just need this. I need to start the Adam curry
School of podcasting. We need to get these kids communicating
with each other about this kind of stuff, because it's okay. I'm
a 48, almost 49 year old guy. And I'm happy that we got a 17
year old who's listening to this show. I hope they can relate to
everything we talked about. Maybe they do maybe this is
maybe this time
of year they do what normal people do. They listen to it,
and they consider it and they maybe don't buy into some of it.
And some of the say, well, they're skeptical, which they
should be and then they go look it up for themselves is worse.
Yeah, or whatever or, or you know, but it's this way you're
supposed to do things this way. The that's the way the public I
think generally speaking does things but they're not being
allowed you I think we have to always remember one of the
things about the show that always struck me which is that
people gravitate toward it saying stuff like you know, I
knew they always felt something was wrong. Yes. I always
believed some crazy things was going on in the background. I
wasn't being told I wasn't being told what was going on and now
listening to you guys just read legislation and listen to these
guys on these various forums and hearings. proves that I the
listener was right. All along and like it's we're a breath of
fresh air because we deliver the gay on your right to real
information.
Well, and we do, do we deliver the best that we can reality. So
for instance, we were talking about Cody R Wilson. Now this is
the the Austin law student at UT. So So it said, so the book
of knowledge says who had runs a nonprofit which even though I
can't find any information on this nonprofit Defense
Distributed, which has been a nonprofit for at least a year
but has not filed any paperwork as such. And has fired a gun,
which was fired once was replicated in Finland, the thing
blew up, which is nothing short of a really bad zip gun. We've
been following this story, thinking that this is there is
something else going on here. And whether Cody Wilson is with
the good guys or with the bad guys, there is definitely
something going on here. So when we discussed the previous show,
and I got a lot of email about this, which I'm not going to
read, you know, we said, hey, this guy's got an accent, which
already was a setup from one of our producers, saying, you know,
we thought it was Australian, John, you thought maybe South
African, most people who listened to our discussion and
our analysis, which could be wrong. This were the first ones
to say. They all a lot of them say look, I'm Australian, I can
add this sounds like an Australian who grew up here
moved to the states and lived in the States for a long time. All
I know is we can't really find any background information on
him, which is weird to say the least his Wikipedia page is
very, very sparse, none of where he grew up, who we grew up with
where he's from, does he have family and none of that? And I
got actually I got a couple of really angry emails with people,
you know who I think their heart is in the right place. saying,
you know, why don't you just go talk to him go over there. He's
in Austin. Like, that's not what we do. I'm not an investigative
reporter. And that's also not the thing that I'm interested
in, whether he is for real or not. What I'm interested in is
why are we seeing these very slick? It's almost like a
promotional program, about the about guns and printables. And,
and really, 3d printing of weapons, which is what he's
doing is not special. And as I'm thinking about this, I think it
was one or two, maybe three episodes ago, we went back to it
was about climate change. And we went back to the State of the
Union. And I had that clip laying around. And somewhere in
the back of my mind, I'm like, Wasn't there something in the
State of the Union about this very thing? And so I go back.
And by the way, you got to do some work to find the state.
When it's in February Kennedy appearances The President has
made and videos all he does, oh, my God. So luck in Oh, yeah. And
the C span search is so helpful. State of the Union in quotes is
not in quotes.
It's horrid. It says C span search is a piece of crap. So
anyway, I find this
there are things we can do right now, to accelerate this trend.
Last year, we created our first manufacturing innovation
institute in Youngstown, Ohio, once shuttered warehouse is now
a state of the art lab, where new workers are mastering the 3d
printing that has the potential to revolutionize the way we make
almost everything. There's no reason this can't happen in
other towns. So tonight, I'm announcing the launch of three
more of these manufacturing hubs, where businesses will
partner with the Department of Defense and Energy to turn
regions left behind by globalization into global
centers of high tech jobs. And I asked this Congress to help
create a network of 15 of these hubs and guarantee that the next
revolution in manufacturing is made right here in America, we
can get that done.
So of course, and while he's saying this, they're they're
actually the camera is getting a shot of some guys who he
actually does like a like a, he doesn't like a gang sign. He's
like some young guy in the, in the, in the bleachers there
during the State of the Union. And he does like it with the two
fingers like yeah, you know, like you don't you want to want
this douchebag like throwing throwing a
douchebag going against guys white guys. Yeah,
like, wow, the guy just throw a gang sign during the State of
the Union. Okay, I missed that the first time around. Okay, so
now I go around looking
and sign what did it say? You're looking at there there are there
is a decoding system. Yes. No,
no, I know exactly what I've said. I'm a douchebag is what it
was. Terry tipper that we've seen this sign before. So that
so the President talks about these manufacturing innovation
institutes. So I go looking for the innovation institutes. And
you come up with this manufacturing.gov, where you can
find some information about it. And this is relatively recent,
the Obama administration announced it's launching
competitions to create three new manufacturing innovation
institutes with a federal commitment of $200 million.
Okay, so now this is getting interesting, there's a lot of
money involved. And then we have a fact sheet about the
competition for three new manufacturing innovation
institutes. And at the bottom there talks about 3d printing
additive manufacturing, often referred to as 3d printing is a
new way of making products and components from a digital model,
and will have implications in a wide range of industries
including defense, aerospace, which is the same thing,
automotive same thing and metals manufacturing, like an office
printer that puts 2d digital files on a piece of paper. A 3d
printer creates compounds by depositing thin layers of
material one after another. Using a digital blue blueprint,
until the exact component required has been created. The
Department of Defense envisions customizing parts on site for
operational systems that would otherwise be expensive to make
or ship. The Department of Energy anticipates that additive
processes would be able to save more than 50% energy use
compared to today's subtractive manufacturing process
manufacturing process. So then I'm like, Okay, where are these
centers? You need to go to nami.org That's November Alpha
Mike, India india.org. The National additive manufacturing
innovation institute when you see this, it becomes very clear.
What the what this is about. Is it's a it's not even a war on 3d
printers, this is a war on hackerspaces, we can't have, we
cannot have in the furthest of any imagination, individuals
grouping together in hackerspaces. And we have turns
out we have a pretty big one here in Austin, which I only
have two or three here. I'm going to visit this now now I'm
now I'm really freaking interested. This is a and I
think we were writing our assertion and whether Cody is on
the good side of this or that whether it but no matter what
he's doing, he is helping the government make additive
manufacturing, dangerous, and therefore it has to be
controlled. And the way you control that is in these
innovation institutes. In these manufacturing innovation
institutes, which are government sanctioned with huge budgets,
we're talking $75 million a pop people. So where is everyone
going to these are going to be and Department of Defense, it's
aerospace. This is this is the business of America. If you look
at where where our industry is, we make stuff that goes on to
stuff that kill stuff. And predominantly brown people who
live in sandy areas were very, very good at this I had not my
favorite, but that's what that is our industry. That is our
industry, instead of people making their own bicycles, or
you know, their own pots and pans or we this is a it truly is
a revolution. This is what the TPP is about to the Trans
Pacific Partnership, all of these intellectual property laws
that are all secret that we're not allowed to know about,
because of this, and we need to figure out how to get a hold of
as much of this technology. And it's it's gonna go underground,
it has to go underground to protect it. Because this is
truly our future. And this is this is training wheels. Is it
training wheels with a helmet on the stuff that we have right
now? The future is so large and these people, the big
manufacturers, and yes, of course, it's going to be GE who
will has the big the giant voice system called broadcast, who
will be telling you how dangerous this is. And we have
to regulate this technology because oh, you know, stupid
slaves, they might be going off like Cody and making a gun. And
so I think we have latched on to something here that is as
important as the energy pipeline industry that is, you know, that
is wrecking the world. This is going to be a front. And this is
actually a front I want to be I want to be on the front lines of
this.
Well sums up
to sum it up, ladies and gentlemen. Something's amiss.
Thanks, John. Thanks for the backup there, buddy.
Good at this analysis. Yeah, something's up. Something's up.
So the hackerspace thing is fantastic. And I'm thinking,
although I see the one in Austin is already messed up, you know,
the minute people like try to make money off of it, that's
when that's when it breaks down. You know, it's like, Oh, we got
shares in the Hackerspace. And, you know, there's angel
investors, like, Oh, you're ruining everything. You know,
this is this is like farming, you know, this is the this is
the, the, the 21st century version of Yeah, no,
that's actually a good analogy, because the little farmer is the
whole goal of big ag, as they like to call it is to just wipe
out the little farmers and then industrialize all our food
instead of having some you know, great tasting or heirloom
product that we can eat maybe a little actually is not even that
much more expensive than the commercial stuff. But it keeps a
little farmer in in business those guys they would like love
to shoot them all
back and shoot them all there was
recent legislation that's a that's coming out and we'll
probably discussing it further in shows in the future when some
more when some hearings show up about you know, pretty much
putting the organic farmer out of business and putting out this
putting the small dairy out of business anyone who makes raw
milk they go God I got letters from people all you have
extolled the virtues of raw milk, you're going to kill
everyone. And so then I said well, that's interesting because
we've been drinking raw milk up in Port Angeles for 15 years
that's all we drink gallons of it and no one's ever gotten ill
and actually feel a lot better drinking it you don't you know
it's gonna be other Oh,
well hold on a second. Now you are there are some things I'm
seeing going wrong with you.
And I think that I wasn't mean to the to Obama bots.
No, no, no. Do you remember what we talked about last week right
after the show? Yeah. Do you know me I talked about it. But
was it? The about your new grandchild?
Oh, well, no, I'd rather not talking about family matters.
But to be honest about it, okay, but no, that's because I'm down
here. It
was hilarious. I
have not. Yes. Very funny to you. You just like to ridicule
me.
That's all I live for.
Yes. True. I've been down here for four months. I have not had
any raw milk. So I My mind is slowly going.
That's it. There you go. Don't care. I'll take that. That's
proof. Two minutes. Okay. That's good. So that's, that's positive
proof. Proof positive. That's good. Well, in Europe,
by the way, you have your little list here of people's birthdays.
I get a kick out you're gonna get a kick out of this the
birthday unless you have to add a new name to it that JC
apparently forgot. Okay. Eric is brother.
The shill? Yeah. When
was his birthday? When is it? It was yesterday. Oh, okay. Wow.
Okay. Now you're not this is actually kind of low. I mean,
you're calling out your kid.
Just kidding. Tim, back to the topic.
In Euro land. They have new seed laws where you won't be able to
have any seeds unless they're registered with the government.
Yeah, there has been actually there was another thing that
happened in Euro law too. Besides oil, a couple of
horrible things that go into
the olive oil.
Yeah, yeah, the olive oil. Can you believe that? Yes. Once you
explain what that is to people who don't know.
Okay, I have it here I have an actual link. You can find all
this in the show notes of course at five one for.na shownotes.com
After the show is published. The European Union is to ban all of
jugs and dipping bowls from restaurant tables in a move
described by one of Britain's top cooks as authoritarian and
damaging to artisanal food makers. So yes, apparently,
starting next year, olive oil presented at restaurant table,
quote unquote, must be in pre packaged factory bottles with a
tamper proof dispensing nozzle and labeling in line with EU
industrial standards.
So in other words, if a little restaurant in the countryside in
Italy, let's say in Tuscany, where they have throat, they
grow their own olives and they crushed their own olive oil and
they bring it out to the customer. They can't do that
anymore.
That is not allowed. Now, they can of course, bring their
olives to the industrial giant, who will mash them with all the
other olives and package them in nice little friendly cartons.
And then they can put the little cartons on the table. And the
whole thing is said but this you know, this is just a it's such a
pendulum. I mean it all comes back. Our grandkids will be
great. Whatever their names are, exactly. Or the Our granny I
wish I had a grandkid it will shortly. My daughter decided
she's lesbian. It's like,
oh, that's a phase.
I don't know. No, I don't think this one's a face. They're
really in love.
She has a girlfriend? Yeah. Oh, there goes your grandkid.
Can I borrow one of yours? Or actually they made a note
this talk now that now there's talk of of all kinds of the but
I'm like well once you try each other for a while take your
time. Yeah.
Anyways, so you get any more commentary about the national
additive manufacturing innovation institute? Why did
you come up with these names and Ami has an official defense
industry
it is look at these guys so
look at the site. Look at these guys in defense deuces
era Bo Boeing guys McDonald's guys, let them arrow arrows
Raytheon,
the palm group. I mean, come on this whole thing is and they're
and this is Youngstown, Ohio. So this is not this is. So the
President said let's set up the centers and the first one is in
Youngstown, Youngstown, Ohio, but this one, this is a I think
it's for profit. This is not like a nonprofit dealio here.
Let me just see members become a member. So anyway, this is you
know, it's clear what they want. And we have to encourage, um,
maybe I should do. I think we need more. And I think really
the hacker space is what it's about. And maybe there's a
Kickstarter in there. I think a Kickstarter for hacker space or
like a national hacker space or something that would be big,
I think, to compete with the big boys. Yeah,
because this is blame.
Again, you won't be able to have anything made here. It's not
like they're foundries.
Exactly.
So So Anyway, so regardless of what Cody's mission, whatever
he's about,
I think he hit the right word mission.
I think it is a mission. He succeeded. And but he's not
succeeding in some. If he were to come out with this and say,
look, we got to have free access to printers now he's here hold
on the gun thing. And there's some videos. I don't know. I'm
not trusting this, just anyway, it doesn't matter. Because now
we know what it's about so we can keep our eye on this. This
is the long game. It was an exciting time for our
communities that the founding director to the boss of
Raytheon, Please embrace. I mean, there's like kids who have
great ideas, but no, no, we have to take all these these great
skills and you got to make parts for killing machines. Hey,
slave, get over here. This is a paid part for my drone. No,
that's not what this is about. And we can make great things.
Did you go to the Maker Faire? Did you see? Did you go? No, I
didn't go. Oh, I was busy working on the show. Oh, well.
So
Jean, surging, you know, the?
Yeah, he was supposed to meet with me, by the way, Aaron of
the Marriott with the with the with the frics. Oh, yeah. He
didn't meet up. No, no showed oh, maybe you just didn't see
him? No, don't worry, he saw you. He, he, he sent me a
picture from him.
It was a red dot that kept showing. He sent me
a picture and I think there was someone made the whole bike.
Like a like a printed bike with wooden fenders and was
beautiful. So you know, this is the kind of stuff that we can't
imagine how drastically that will change. I mean, yesterday,
we we tried something which turned out to be not such a
great product, not an outstanding product, you
actually recommend that we get a misting fan.
No, not a fan. I recommend those little misting little nozzles.
Right. So we got a fan that has those nozzles. Okay, this is not
an outstanding product.
It basically didn't recommend that. Puzzles. Alright,
well, we got the nozzles and we got one that had a fan attached
to it. All right, and it's not good. It just makes it makes you
wet.
That's no good. No, of course, it's no good. And that's what
they use in the NFL. They use those things with the fan,
right. But when I look
at this thing, because of course, you know, it comes in a
box and some assembly required. Always the IKEA ad model. Yeah.
Which I am really starting to dislike. I mean, this is this is
cheating people out of jobs. This is this. That's truly what
it is. Because all you're doing now is getting some cheap crap
from China. And believe me, it is cheap crap from China. And
you're not in you're not even keeping them in jobs. Like no,
no, just punch it out. You don't have any slaves put it together?
No, no, no, keep it in an economical box. So you can fit a
million of them in a container and ship them over. Now this is
in fact, having a 3d printer is going to be deemed patriotic one
day, put that in the book. Put that in the book, because it is
how we will fight in the global war is how we become
independent. Because I look at this fan. I'm like, this is such
shit. It's it's it is shit.
It's just plastic Shit. Shit. I
say, yeah, you've made your point.
And embarrassing that I'm putting this together and then
you turn it on, it just makes you wet.
You see that? Just put a hose it's like a Mickey stay on
there. You're missed.
Just like, it looked good in the brochure and everything. But no,
this was not an outstanding product. So we can do and I can
imagine like, you know, I'm gonna I'm gonna have to figure
out this 3d modeling stuff if what you said the other day the
3d Scanners that's exciting. So I can go in I can, I can go into
Home Depot scan their piece of shit Chinese fan, and then make
modifications to one that will actually work. And then I don't
mind putting it together because then it's mine.
All right. Can be a lot of that.
Ah, yeah, there will be it's going to be a very exciting
time. I wish I was 20 years younger. Because anyone who's
you got to get in on this now, you really gotta I gotta tell
you what you have to do. First, you got to have to get to learn
the software. And most of that is Autodesk right now. Yeah. And
that's what they do have some Autodesk has some modules you
can buy just for 3d printers that don't cost an arm and a leg
and that's what you have to look for. I think there's some public
domains.
There's got to be some open source stuff that I think I
bought oDesk has free stuff that you can use. Yeah, but I would
support look around. I'm supporting open source in this
too. I mean, screw it. I'm, I'm I'm just that's a part of this
revolution for the 21st century. John, and you're not helping
with your, you know, raving articles about Adobe do not
help.
I would be glad to move over if somebody would make Gimp. So it
was more than a piece of crap. You
collaborator, you just a collaborator with the enemy is
good. When's the last time you tried the game? They you know,
they do update this camp, I keep forgetting. You gotta say the
game. When's the last time you tried it? They do update it, you
know? It was a. So it's been a couple of years. And I'll tell
you, it's like, so I'm, I'm really looking at at the end.
Here's an hamvention is going to have live video streams. I'm
cool. Oh, no, it's not cool. Okay, Mickey came in.
I didn't know that she came in. She was like, oh my god, I'm
like, Oh, shit.
And sample, there was a guy put up with these guys, there was a
guy who had like to talk about antennas, he
had a hard hat on. And on top of the hard hat, he had a miniature
antenna tower, which he could raise a guy that was
speaking at the event,
he was just walking around. And he could twist it and then when
rip rip could go up and down. It's anyway, it's, it's kind of
sad, because the whole thing is, there's a huge maker community
there as well. But it's being overrun by, you know, by like
Icom who pretend to be an American company, but I'm pretty
sure their stuffs all Chinese. You know, I think I think the
Chinese put their stuff together. And you know, but
there's, anyway. I don't know what I was gonna say, Oh, yes. I
was gonna say that. FL Digi, there's a program that that is
open source that really competes with I mean, that just competes
with blows the socks off of any other commercial product out
there. And when you see the work that go, there's an update every
couple of days, and it's just then people are contributing.
And it's really nice to see a really good piece of software
that is much better than any of the commercial alternatives. And
I think that if enough people were interested enough, I'm
trying to push Miss Mickey this way. Because she's like, oh, you
know, Photoshop and she's like, oh, I want to get the Adobe
iCloud ever. It's a good deal. It's not a good deal. To get you
I'll get you whatever you want, but it's not a good deal. It's
600 $700 a year. Yeah, you can get like just one module. Okay,
so then it's $300 a year you don't own anything. You're on
the hook. Like if you have a bad month and you can't you can't
you know with the 20 bucks for health care. Then you know, they
cut you
off. Software doesn't work.
No, you're done. You're done. Scrounger
not an artist. Go get so the GIMP needs help. And
he wants you to put yourself in the situation. You pay your pay,
you can't do it anymore. You go to the GIMP and they get
yourself back on your feet. Then you go back what is
what are you missing from the GIMP? But what are you missing
from the GIMP? Everything all right, you're not being serious
with me. All right, that's fine. That's fine. You just you just
talking you haven't looked at the GIMP in years.
I haven't. I'll go look at the GIMP again and then you want me
just want me to do here's we're gonna do just to be just to
assuage your, your, your doubting me. I'm gonna go play
with the GIMP. I'm gonna write a review of it. I'm gonna write a
regular review about this is a great idea. Colin, what a great
or not great?
No, you can be honest. But you should. It's about time someone
did an honest review of the GIMP. And if it sucks,
and I since I do have Photoshop experience, I can make
comparisons say well, this is better than Photoshop. This is
not as good. This is better. Good. And I can do the whole
thing and then I can make my you know, that'll be it. I'm done.
And then I'll never complain again. Okay, ever. That's a
deal. interesting news came out about who am I? Who am I
Aberdeen? Did you see this buddy? Turns out during her
entire time, in the as Hillary's body man, their words, not mine.
She was also moonlighting as a consultant.
Oh, really? Yes. For Nice.
Yeah. According to the Times. Uma Abbott didn't work for
Teneo. Today it was a strategic consulting firm founded by a co
founder I think by Doug ban former adviser to Bill Clinton.
Oh, isn't that convenient? And the if you read their their
about page the firm has spelled Teneo Tango echo, November echo
Oscar. The firm has advised corporate clients like Coca Cola
and MF Global.
So she was working, just like, oh, yeah, just working
there. part time while she was with the most powerful woman in
the universe. Julie does not seem like
what are they close? Like it's illegal to be honest about it.
Well, this, of course, the stories now pop up, because
everyone knows that, you know, Hillary is the next President of
the United States. And so of course, this is, it's not like
this is unknown. This is this is the thing that bothers me about
it's like this IRS thing as well. This has been going on for
years. And many, many people have complained. And
specifically people have complained about the IRS
targeting Tea Party patriot groups with that in their name,
which is like one or two, mom and pops, you actually want to
change the country.
And well, while you're discussing, I do have a clip
while I was leaning into a clip, but okay, but I Okay, go. You
probably have a better clip. By the way before you go to the IRS
story. I want to say some but to nail Yes, I'm looking at it is
it's a it's a huge company. It's been they have Teneo capital
Teneo restructuring, Teneo strategy and Teneo intelligence,
they actually had its own intelligence gathering, which
works closely with the State Department, obviously, and they
have all kinds of politics and policy security. Yeah,
this was this, of course, was not a story ever. Now. But it's
obvious that it's known. This is and this I think, is the main
thing that people are catching on to is that none of the media
and I'm looking at you New York Times in particular, those guys
like wow, and by the way, you've got the former BBC head who you
know, helped cover up BBC pedo gate. Now running the show now,
and you should see it was running News New is like the
like the Rothschilds have now joined the news night team over
there in the BBC, that whole thing, it's, it's just
hilarious, how the links get their hands all over.
It's amazing and listen to this. And you know, the money comes in
from every which way, especially the Defense Department money,
which has never been audited. Teneo was founded in 2011 by
three partners, Declan Kelly, former US Special Envoy to
Northern Ireland, US CEO of financial dynamics and EVP and
CIO of FTI, consulting, Doug, a band counselor to President
William Jefferson Clinton.
That's what I just said
he co founded the company. Yeah. And Paul Kerry, former senior
managing that another FTA FTI consulting, it's got something
to do with this. I'll look at that. I hadn't looked
at that. Now. So when you when you said earlier, John, when
you're thinking like, I feel I feel it just something's wrong,
I can feel it. That's because your body is inherently smarter
than your brain. Or where it's a no sooner for some reason, the
our brains have been trained to be stupid. So I got a couple
clips here regarding this IRS thing, which is just very
interesting, because it kind of flows along these same lines of
really there was gambling going on there. Like we didn't know
that that IRS or a bunch of armed hoods.
Are you telling me that if you leave milk out it goes sour?
So Charles Krauthammer, who I like, I don't doesn't seem to
have a show. He's just he's on shows. So he's identifying what
we said immediately. He's like, hold on a second. This
information about the IRS was not discovered by accident. It
was set up specifically on a call with a shield to ask the
question to get this into light. Which leads me to believe as I
prophesized on the previous episode, that this is meant to
bring down the grand old party,
bit of news that we got how this was released by the IRS. This is
peculiar, and I'm not even sure I can understand why. But they
decide knowing the IG report will come out this week. They
decided a week ago to plant a question in a closed the meeting
of the ABA. So that Lois Lerner answers it and get gives an
answer, assuming I think that is going to leak out. But I'm not
even sure I understand the logic of doing that. Why not just
issue a press release, say it but to do it in a sort of
ridiculously devious way shows you an institution that is sort
of given intrinsically, to being untruthful and deceptive. See,
that's where he goes off the rails because I don't think
that's what's going on here. It's no one is that dumb?
Certainly not the IRS by the way. In the chat room, no corn
syrup says Teneo is Atlas McDowell. I thought that was
pretty good. You remember Atlas McDowell.
How long was your clip?
From Rubicon? Yes. So here is so. So of course, I believe that
that this was brought out because it will turn out that it
was indeed the Republican Party leadership who wanted the True
Tea Party. The true patriots real people who really were
angry and wanted some change and they were angry at all political
parties. That that's why these small little mom and pops were
targeted, but the calls came from the Republican Party. And I
think my the prophecy is coming true as the leadership of the
GOP is seems to be a bit worried.
Republicans on Capitol Hill there's pursuing several
investigations right now you're here you're even hearing talk of
impeachment from some of them are some of their leaders
worried that some of the Republicans may be overplaying
their hand?
There's real concern about this. You hear people saying some
Republicans on the right saying This is worse than Watergate
worse than Iran Contra talking about impeachment? Well,
Republican leaders are worried that could go way too far. In
fact, you saw the chairman of the Republican Party writes
previous today in Politico telling fellow Republicans look,
you don't talk about impeachment until you have the evidence.
Well, isn't that interesting? Isn't that interesting that Mr.
Priebus is a little worried about what's happening? Did you
see any of the C span mini series with Miller, the outgoing
head of the of the IRS?
Yeah, I have one clip that I thought was interesting. For two
reasons. This is the one with what's his name? I grew flexes
name. Now, is it Kelly, I think his name is Kelly, Mike Kelly,
the Republic Kelly go off on the guys. But what was interesting,
besides the rant, was the huge round of applause he got from
the gallery. So your clip is two, we have the same clip. So
I'm going to play yours because yours is shorter.
But this is not going to go away. This is a Pandora's box
that has been opened, I don't think get the lid back on it.
And I don't believe that the White House just found out about
this in the news report. Doesn't happen to grab a TV shot. We're
just read Mr. George's report and said, you know why we
anybody heard about this before? I'm just getting a first look at
this. Shouldn't somebody be responsible? But I'm thinking
maybe the executive bots may Treasury falls in there. I'm not
sure that we understand how that that organizational chart works.
But I am really concerned about I gotta tell you, where you're
sitting, you should be outraged. But you're not. The American
people should be outraged. And they are. And this committee,
this has nothing to do with political parties. This has to
do with highly targeted groups. This reconfirms everything that
the American public believes this is a huge blow to the faith
and trust the American people have in their government. Is
there any limit to the scope of where you folks can go? Is there
anything at all? Is there any way that we could ask you? Is
there any question that you shouldn't have asked my
goodness? How much money do you have in your wallet? Who do you
get emails from? Who signed you put up in your front yard? This
is a tax question. You don't think it's intimidating. It's
just hell intimidating. And I don't know that I got any
answers from you today. And I don't know that what Mr. Georgia
said is great work. But you know what, there's a heck of a lot
more that has to come out in this in anybody to sit here
today. And listen to what you have to say I am more concerned
today than I was before. And the fact that you all can do just
about anything you want to anybody, you know, you can put
anybody out of business that you want, anytime you want. And I
gotta tell you, you talked about you're a horribly run.
Organization. If you're on the other side of the fence, you're
not given that excuse. When the IRS comes into you're not
allowed to be shot or you're not allowed to be run horribly.
You're not allowed to make mistakes. You're not allowed to
do one damn thing that doesn't come in compliance. If you do,
you're held responsible right then I just think the American
people have seen what's going on right now in their government.
This is absolutely an overreach and this is an outrage for all
America. I yield back. All right. Mr. Griffin is recognized
for five minutes.
Hang a minute as bowls. You know what I think you know, as I was
listening to that, I'm thinking that the this they these guys
have to do this. They have to make the IRS just like they have
to drag them through the mud to deflect the truth, which I
again, I think is because the GOP called Congress in general
called for the
going on here. We have to always remember, we we liked the idea
of making the IRS of The boogeyman a really bad actor
because it's it helps scare the public I mean yeah here are some
celebrities busted and they make a big point of ruining his life
so they can scare everybody and this is just part of that as far
as I can tell there's no he wasn't accomplishing anything by
berating these these two or three guys that were just
standing there going shrugging their shoulders saying we don't
ever want to get paid by the hour yeah you know it's just I
agree martyred that whole system right believe even though he
seemed outraged and they got a big round of applause, it it
just makes it worse.
Everybody likes a common enemy, that's for sure. But it's not
going to make it any easier. This is if anything, the IRS
will get a huge overhaul to get new agents new your money, more
money, new uniforms, guns, bigger, bigger armbands, it's
gonna be fantastic.
I'm going to show my school by Jonah to no agenda. Imagine all

You know, this is happening. I see something. So I'm gonna say
something. The Germans are rising.
I think there's something going on because I was chatting with
somebody from Germany recently. And they said that this screwed
up is there's just they're not talking about but they're just
there's a bad a shape as France.
Oh, it's horrible. But they have this is the the new Germans who
I've had the pleasure of working with about seven or eight years
ago, we moved thinking about setting up an office in Berlin.
And so I spent some quite a lot of time in the area and the soul
incredibly nice and helpful and smart. And, of course, you know,
there's a little bit of overcompensation for you know
that whole bike thing back in the Second World War II ended
you think maybe there's a little bit of that, but not really
anymore. It's like all cool and most kids like F word I don't
remember I wasn't around it's like, and they're great and they
are extremely technically competent and advanced in their
thinking of solving problems and making cool shit like honestly,
that I've been very impressed. And they're not falling for this
dictatorship. Bullcrap this Merkel isolation and worse the
the Bundesbank that I think they're seeing through it, and
they're like, hey, you know, that was our grandparents
problem. We don't want that crap anymore. We really are trying to
do something different here. So I feel him I want I mean, you
feel that too, right? There's like there's something there's a

she may receive a plaque for her Dame ship her stewardship as
lady and she will be recognized as one of the leaders of the
Free Underground back in the 21st century. And it's truth
FAK. Fact.
So I found a very, we talked about this a little bit at the
beginning of the show about the country becoming a dictatorship
of the executive branch. And I was I was incensed when I
listened to Lindsey Graham, in front of Congress, essentially
selling The out the Congress and promoting more of the executive
branch bullcrap. I have two clips. Now tell us again who
Lindsey Graham is Lindsey Graham's the douchebag, from
South Carolina Republican is is very closely allied with
McCain, he's a Republican, or is he a Democrat?
He's a Republican. He's very closely allied with McCain. And
when you see these deals, you always have Lindsey Graham
involved and there are bombs. We got to bomb these guys. Why
aren't we in Libya? Let's get one of
those kids to print up some bombs.
Yeah, all righty. Graham goes out of his way to essentially
sell out Congress by giving the executive branch more power by
by by a bad interpretation. I, I have two clips I have first him
and then Angus King, an independent from Maine going off
on pretty much what Lindsey Graham said, even though he
never pointed a finger at him. But when you listen to this,
there's one stop after you play this clip, because there's a
number of logical questions I would have loved to have seen
one of the in fact, I think Angus King who came up right
after Graham could have asked the question, and I'm going to
ask it and answer it. But instead King just goes crazy.
But Lindsey Graham cells out Congress, it Do you
agree with with me the war against radical Islam or terror,
whatever description like to provide will go on after the
second term or President Obama?
Senator, in my judgment, this is going to go on for quite a
while. And yes, beyond the second term of
the President and beyond this term of Congress.
Yes, sir. I think it's at least 10 to 20 years.
Point of View, you have all the authorization and legal
authorities necessary to conduct a drone strike against terrorist
organizations in Yemen without changing the AUMF. Yes, sir. I
do believe that. I agree with that. General. I do, sir.
General. Do you agree with that? I do, sir. Okay, could we send
military members into Yemen, to strike against one of these
organizations? This president had that authority to put boots
on the ground in Yemen?
As I mentioned before, there's domestic authority and
international law or authority. At the moment, the basis for
putting boots in the ground in Yemen, we respect the
sovereignty of Yemen. And it would
I'm not talking about that I'm talking about does he have the
legal authority under our law to do that,
under domestic authority, he would have that authority.
The Congress is okay with that. I'm okay with that. We have
authority to put boots on the ground in the Congo?
We have?
Yes, sir. He does. Okay.
On the agree with me that when it comes to international
terrorism, we're talking about a worldwide struggle.
Absolutely, certainly. Would
you agree with me the battlefield is wherever the
enemy chooses to make it?
Yes, sir. from Boston to to the Fatah?
I couldn't agree with you more. We're in general. Yes, sir. I
agree that the the enemy decides where
the battlefield is,
and it could be any place on the planet, and we have to be aware
and able to act, and do you have the ability to act and you aware
of the thrust?
Yes, sir. We do have the ability to react and we are tracking
threats globally.
From my point of view, I think your analysis is correct. And I
appreciate all of your service to our country.
Now, before you say a word, because I read the transcript of
this. And because of mainly the search function on C span,
video.org was not just unable to get anything in time. So it's it
is by default, a little bit, but still, I have to give you the
clip of the clip. Because, of course, this aihole, who I think
he should be thrown into the hot box is is is saying that
Congress no longer has the constitutional authority to
declare war. It's basically the president and whatever powers he
thinks he has. This is mind boggling. And for him to
actually say, I agree. I think Congress should agree it's all
this is exactly it. I mean, I am almost speechless.
Isn't that amazing? That clip that guy's unbelievable. Now
here's the thing that should have happened right address
somebody should have come up with the kind of a kind of a
just a similar line of questioning follow right with
Lindsey Graham. After he says When is it okay to put boots on
the ground and calm Go Yeah, shit. No problem. Is it okay to
put boots on the ground in Germany? Is it okay to put boots
on the ground in England? Is it okay to put boots on the ground
in Mexico? In Canada? Is it okay to put boots on the ground? In
China? They're already okay to put did they have to say yes to
all these questions? Somebody should have said Germany for
sure that would that would take someone off? Because they have
to say yes to that. Well, Germany's is an ally. We have to
we have the authorization we do we have boots on
the ground in Germany,
but we do but I'm talking about you know what I'm saying? That's
how, in a while we do have boots on the ground, but they're in a
castle, just for next year. We do have boots on the ground and
Jeremy, what am I thinking?
So just for so people understand. We have to explain
that that according to the rules of the United States, only
Congress and this of course, has been going on for forever,
because we have undeclared wars. In both Iraq was a declared
though wasn't it? Didn't Congress? No, no,
it was it was a no the only two clauses there was authorization
for military authority, or military action. Sorry. There
was never a declaration of war. Technically, we've never done
one text since a long time. Long time. Long time. So Angus King
is going this is going a little bit too far though. Like so.
Basically, wherever the enemy is at so Boston, he they can put
Boston
Boston bring the military and then you brought the clip in
earlier about military taken over the place even clip I was
just reading the law. Cuz I know it's unbelievable. So this all
fits together. Meanwhile, there's one lone voice in the
wilderness because the Republicans are all for this for
some dumb reason. What did they think they're gonna get
presidency again against Hillary? They're just given to
Hillary. Can you imagine Hillary is the dictator of the United
States? Well
get used to it. Oh, I'm
gonna go work for her. Job I'll get. So Angus Kim is the pendant
let me know how that works out when you when you apply. Well,
hi, Hillary. I really admire your work.
I think it's good for all women.
Love your work, man. Romain.
So, Angus King goes off. And of course no of Democrats say
anything. They're not gonna say anything because the President's
got the dictatorial power. And the Republicans seem to be a
bunch of war mongers, so you got nothing going on. And the whole
Congress is a corrupt bunch of creeps. And we got this guy. And
you can play this for as long as you want. But you can you can
kill it becomes pretty long.
That's a date. It doesn't go into the future. And then it
says or harbored such organizations past tense, or
persons in order to prevent any future acts by such nations
organizations or persons. It established a date. I don't
disagree that we need to fight terrorism. But we need to do it
in a constitutionally sound way. I'm, I'm just a little lawyer
from Brunswick, Maine. But I don't see how you can possibly
read this. To be in comport with the Constitution and authorize
any acts by the President. You've testified to Senator
Graham, that you believe that you could put boots on the
ground in in Yemen under this under this document that makes
the War Powers a noloty? I'm sorry to ask such a long
question. But my question is, what's your response to this?
Not anybody. Let
me take the first response. I'm not a constitutional lawyer or
lawyer of any kind. But let me talk to you a little take a
brief statement about al Qaeda and the organization that
attacked us on September 11 2001. Two years prior to
that, Senator King, that organization attacked us in East
Africa, and killed 17 Americans or embassy in Nairobi with a
loosely affiliated groups of people in East Africa. A year
prior to 911. That same organization with its affiliates
in Yemen, almost sunk a US ship, the USS Cole a billion dollar
warship killed 17 sailors in the port of Aden. The organization
that attacked us on 911 already had its tentacles in around the
world with associated groups. That was the nature of the
organization, then it is the nature of the organization. Now,
in order to attack that organization, we have to attack
it with those affiliates that are its operational arm that
have previously attacked and killed Americans and high level
interests and continue to try to do that.
That's fine, but that's not what the AUMF says. You can you can
you what I'm saying is we may need new authority but don't if
you expand this to the extent that you have it's meaningless
and it ends limitation in the war power is meaningless. I'm
I'm not disagreeing that we need to attack terrorism wherever it
comes from and where whoever's doing it. But what I'm saying is
let's do it in a constitutional way, not by putting a gloss on
the document that clearly won't support it. It just, it just
doesn't. It just doesn't work that I'm just just reading the
words. It's all focused on September 11. And who was
involved, and you guys have invented this term associated
forces, that's nowhere in this document. As I mentioned, in
your written statement, you use that that's the key term, you
use it 13 times it's the justification for everything.
And it renders the whole the warp the War Powers of the
Congress, null and void. I don't understand. I mean, I do
understand you're saying we don't need any change, because
of the way you read it. You can, you could do anything. But But
why not say come back to us and say, yes, you're you're correct
that, that this is a overbroad reading that renders the the the
War Powers of the Congress of noloty. Therefore, we need new
authorization to respond to the new situation. I don't
understand why. I mean, I do understand it, because the way
you read is is and there's no limit. What the Constitution
contemplates?
Oh, he's new, isn't he? Yeah. He's a new guy. Yeah. And new
guy doesn't quite know how it works. Yep. So he's gonna get a
little talking to a new guy.
Well, he's an independent, so nobody can tell No, no, no, no,
no, he'll get to talking to Hey, new guy. You see this office?
Okay. So this will burn with you in it. So new guy shot?
Get that kind of talk? Yeah, no, he's
gonna get a talk into. Yeah, I actually enjoyed listening to
all of that it's fun to hear a new guy come in and try to try
to be constitutional. What do you think, John? Do you think
that this? We had that to poll that said the 29% of Americans
feel that somewhere in the future an armed revolt will be
necessary to bring America back to where it is? Is that what
we're going to have to see? Is that where we're gonna have to
go? Or? Or do we just or we'd rather just starve to death and
go through those hardships before we figure it out? Which
Which way do you think is best? Or it's like any of it? No. Is
there an alternative way? Or?
Well, we could did like somebody that's, that's not corrupt? Oh,
no, I have no idea. All I know is I'm watching the ship go down
helplessly. The ship is sank. Let's party pop the bubbly. I
wanted to
talk briefly about Syria, as the proxy war is now in full effect.
And and I want to put it into a bit of perspective, because all
of this does kind of tie together, including Benghazi,
very important to understand what happened there. Besides the
botched kidnapping, which got the ambassador raped, then
killed and I put in the show notes. For those of you who
might have forgotten, the reporting from there was
reporting on a lot of Middle Eastern press reported on how
for hours before he was dead, and after he was dead, the
ambassador was sodomized in the streets of of Benghazi is really
quite horrible that no one is bringing that up. And no, I
guess we can't talk about that, or whatever it is, you know,
it's that just tells me that the whole thing is one big facade
and they've all these guys who are pretending to care really
don't give a rat's ass. But what was also taking place there was
a deal of arms to be shipped to Turkey and from Turkey being
shipped down into Syria because of course, you know, we couldn't
be caught actually handing our our weapons directly to al
Qaeda. And this is the funny thing. There's a great article.
What was it it was like Obama now. Al Qaeda in chief or
something? Let me see if I can find it. It was very funny. And
this article is actually circling around everyone in the
armed forces. is is it's like kind of gone viral. And
everyone's laughing about it. Because it talks it talks about
Obama being the outcome in charge of al Qaeda now
essentially, when you look at it, it kind of seems that way we
had Ambassador Ford had a secret meeting with the with the
opposition without nostra in in Syria. And this is this is this
is no secret actually admitted. It is documented. It's just not
really reported on and this happened about three weeks.
Yeah, main actually may 9 And I'll nostra one month ago, the
leader of al nostra which is kind of Weird how this work was
determined to be a terrorist here it is the matter of the
designation of Abu Muhammad Al Jelani, also known as alpha t,
also known as Abu Muhammad Al Golani, is now a specially
designated global terrorist pursuant to section one B of
executive order 13224, which is an old Busha executive order.
So, the first day they make the guy who they have a meeting
with, they make him who is the head of Al nostra who pledge
allegiance to alza wiry, who is, you know, was the number two guy
I guess now is arguably the number one guy of al Qaeda, and
then a meeting with them, and now they give them the oil
fields. And unjustly so there's reporting and this kind of made
me laugh. I'm reporting that they have set up and you in
John, you understand how this works better than I do. They're
saying that the Al nostra and the now the rebels have the oil
pipelines, but they don't really focus too much on the pipelines,
which is of course where I'm focused. They talk about them
setting up makeshift oil refineries. Is this I mean, I
know a refinery exactly a refinery cost like $3 billion.
You can't set up a makeshift refinery, can you? No, that
makes no sense right? I
mean, if you've had another refinery I mean they raided that
other place. I mean, if you go grab all the distillation towers
and cracking facilities and all these things you need and then
you have to put them together so they actually make sense to do a
makeshift refinery you can do a small refinery. But none of it
could be makeshift, that this doesn't make any sense at all.
I'm trying to get engineers to put the thing to make it work.
Yeah, let me see if let me see if I can find this article.
Because I read that I'm like, That makes no sense on a
couple of drums. So we're gonna hook them together and we got a
pot of boiling oil and then we can take and run the boil off
and then we can take the bottom and put it into a tank.
That's kind of that's kind of going to happen it's kind of how
it sounded
boiling it here in the desert and burning it by hope it yeah,
we're burning boiling or boiling. It does it Yeah, no, it
does make shift
here now here it is. This is in the guardian. Now you've got to
look at this. All right. Okay, Google. EU decision to lift
Syrian oil sanctions and there's a picture in The Guardian has a
picture and it's and the caption under the picture says a
makeshift oil refinery site at El Matsuura village and they got
like a big vat of oil with small
EU decision to lift what
Syrian oil sanctions boosts jihadist groups you probably
won't need that. You just need the Syrian oil sanctions the
Guardian
Yeah. Do you see the picture? I'm getting I'm just getting
there. Now. There's a what?
Tell me you kidding me? Tell me This is nuts, right?
Yeah, this is just a picture of a burning tab burning barrel or
something. But then it looked the dude next barrels all over
the place. So that's
that makeshift oil refinery. That's what they're saying. This
is a joke. That was the guardian. They
show plume of smoke. Yeah. I thought it was the plume of
smoke.
I thought it was like why that makes no sense. So this is of
course not an oil refinery
name. I'm sure I know how to get rationalizes if you criticize
him, but he said, Well, this is the makeshift oil refinery site.
We haven't actually built the refinery yet. Oh, it is burning
oil here to market burning oil and a bunch of a bunch of
barrels with some unknown reason. So to the company we're
gonna read this. As a result of the rush to make quick money.
Open Air refineries have been set up in near izhar and El
Raqqa. Provinces crude is stored in ditches, and heated in metal
tanks by wood fires, shrouding the region with plumes of black
smoke exposing the local population to the dangers of the
thick smoke and the frequent explosions at the improvised
plants. Heating oil, diesel and petrol is condensed in hoses
running from the tanks through pools of water and sold. Oh,
this is bull crap.
Thank you. So what this is, is cover for capture of the
pipelines. And this so I hate to bring it back to pipelines but
this is what I see going on. So we have the Russians now. With
submarines in the Mediterranean. They're being engaged we have
Erawan the president of Turkey Obama brings him in gives him
hookers and blow like dude come on by well hang out you mishmi
Michelle you and your wife we get the kids will get their kid
everyone's do everyone's will party we got we got some
musicians. We'll bring some people in we got no We'll bring
Taylor Swift, whatever we'll do. Because you're our buddy,
because right now, I think we are in a huge proxy war with
Russia. And it makes a lot of sense when you see some of the
stories surrounding this, because the Russians now again,
Europe needs Russia needs gas. Russia is the number one
supplier. Israel right now has this huge Leviathan field. We've
already cleared the way for the for the ownership of the piping,
the refining and everything through Cyprus into Greece, from
Greece, it can go straight into all of all of Europe. That's
completely clear that this is what it's all about. And Turkey
is still the they are the main hub for all things. Gazprom all
things Russian oil. Yeah, they're trying to bring some
stuff in from buchu up on the north. But we cannot have Syria,
Syria, it's not because God has no oil to speak of no one gives
a crap about Syrian oil. Where do you have the Syrian oil gas
station, that's bullcrap. They are a conduit, a conduit for
pipes coming all the way across into that harbor owned by
Russia. And we're always Russians, Russia's intent to
have all of their gas flowing up. And you know, obviously, we
have some interesting paths now. And they've been trying to do
deals with the Israelis had been hanging out there, you know, but
now we've got warships. But one thing certain this is a war
against American interest for sure. This is why I got a couple
clips here. We have Russia, embarrassing us with without
being our, our, our spies and so they just out of the head of the
CIA, of course.
But this is interesting could do anytime they want. It's just
to embarrass us. In fact, listen to this. This is Erin Burnett,
and she's got the CIA guy Bob Baer on and I know exactly what
happened here by those silly
which makes me wonder if the Russians didn't plant all of
this, which they could have. And also Aaron, you know, you don't
recruit in Russia. It's it's too dangerous because the KGB is
always sending people into the CIA fake volunteers. We call
them dangles simply to compromise us. So you know what,
I'm worried what I'm worried about is this is just indicative
of bad relations with Moscow.
Exactly. And let me tell you about this guy with the wig on
he was cruising for gays in the park with a wig on that's what
that's the they just did all the good things to get the gay guy
out of the park and embarrass America with that. That's what
the week was about. He was not undercover. He had couple he had
500 year old notes to pay for blow jobs. I know this I listen
I have this on pretty high authority what went down there?
So we they they show this guy with all the you know, press
around and Oh look, he's got the crazy wig on little tube smoker.
And then we have we have our own version of embarrassing the
Russian are more about the Sanaya brothers. Interestingly,
that always comes through Erin Burnett CFR member connections
to Chechnya and Kazakhstan. There is another terror case
with ties to Uzbekistan. A 30 year old Uzbek national appeared
in the US court today on federal terrorism charges. phospholamban
Kurbanov, a Russian speaking truck driver is accused of
teaching people in Idaho to build bombs that could blow up a
public transportation system.
You blow up a public transportation system in Idaho
and Idaho y'all there's so much public transportation there in
Idaho. So we this is just tit for tat this is, you know, oh,
okay, what you're gonna out our guy over there, but they
literally outed the gay guy. I don't know about the station
chief. But of course, he's in the embassy. Of course everyone
knows who he is. This is just back and forth. And it has to
stop. It really has to stop and it will this will be fought in
the Mediterranean. It will be fought over Syria. And really, I
think we're losing this. I think the end let's just take a real
pro US perspective for a moment. We have alienated the Israelis
who have the gas right there. They've they've got the whole
thing going on. Hillary is on a whole different track now. She
has been trying to get it all done through the Balkans and up
through Baku. She's kind of old school with the old school Texas
guys actually. But no bill energy who's who's got Cypress
and you know they're good to go. It's they've completely screwed
all of this up the Russians. They've got submarines now in
the Mediterranean subs in the water. They're not gonna take
this. Vladimir Putin. He's, have you seen this dude, have you
seen his packs? Yeah, he's out there. He's on the horses. He's
flying. And ultralights he's they try to blow him up he's
like laughing at you trying to blow me up he walks away this
guy's serious business. So we and we're not doing a good job
we are really pussyfooting around this and just taking it
from from the perspective of okay let's let's we might as
well have dominance and let's go for it this president needs to
go for it and he needs to go pretty damn quick but he doesn't
want it you see he wants legacies of saving the earth but
you can't walk that line this is why he's in so much trouble and
and this this will continue but it's tears will come as my
side you who knows who's behind all these scandals all at once I
mean it's possible that this is like the you know or
whatever the shadow government is yeah him out get someone in
who can do the job for him to
quit find a really good scandal they can't deal with the
Associated Press ones we should have turned should turn the
media against him. Yes, if it works, right.
Kinda kind of it's a little bit a little bit okay well that's
that's an interesting theory that is real tinfoil hat stuff I
like it that the shadow government if I
would Ron Paul said he said the CIA took over the United States
68
through that so if you and I were CIA running the shadow
government What would our plan be we can play this we can do
this better than as good as anybody. So well first of all,
we have
we need some setup. So in other words, we have to create some
traps we need a warrior now I firstly we need a trap to get
Obama to do something that could be considered illegal that we
did then they can throw all the then you can take all your you
know, you got all this stuff backed up, you have a bunch of
reports you have all the books ready to go and things already
pre written you got you have a hole and you have a team of
people that are can be retreat writing a bunch of anti Obama
material they can throw at him and what have to happen pretty
soon. But you know, most of the subs are probably already done
that just kind of destroy his credibility make him a little
nutty. I mean, he hasn't, he's been pretty good at not being
super flustered, like Nixon freaked. He went nuts when they
went after him. And we know from that, that bush book the what
was the name of that that family of secrets and we've seen Nixon
it the whole Watergate thing. It looks to be a setup to Dr. Nixon
crazy, wasn't he you know, you had the screwballs a guy
screwing it up. They're leaving tape on the doors, all these
nonprofessional kinds of mistakes were made. Very
interesting section of that book, by the way, which makes
Nixon looked like he had nothing to do with Watergate, but he got
swept up in it like an idiot. Well, it's possible that
something like that can be done. And this again is 40 year cycle,
these old tricks can be used again on the same in the same
way that they can be used on Obama, no one will remember the
old days. And we want to know it's definitely great for the
show.
No doubt about it. But this but who, who, so I think that they
probably portray us was in play and portray it was portray us
was I think he truly was supposed to be president and
still may be the guy that they want to run for president.
That'd be hard now.
I don't think so. Obama, Obama did Coke, smoke weed. Yeah, but
Petraeus is also a snotty character when he comes in front
of the camera. He does. He's not likable. He is Romney had the
same problem. True true. telegenic aspects of Romney and
portrayals are very similar. rubs you the wrong way when you
watch him,
okay. Well, I'm sorry.
And Obama said that.
I really, really, you know, why am I why am I even saying this?
I'm an idiot. I'm so stupid. I'm sorry. The answer was obvious.
The next Republican president is Hillary Clinton. Because, you
know, she'll run as a Democrat, of course,
yeah. Well, Bill was a Republican, as far as I can
tell. She
is She is the one to do it. She is the one to do it.
She's a kick ass.
She is a take it and take it me. veza
Lindsey Graham look like a wimp. I take that back. He is a wimp.
Her dick is five times bigger than mine.
I know. So this will be interesting. If you're gonna go
after Obama, it has to be now. Why now? Well, because it
because he goes over it because he got all this stuff. There's a
there's four scandals going on right now. You can't let these
all blow over and try to rebuild a bunch of scandals. It's just
it'll be you'll be seen as a Teflon, another Teflon president
that nothing will stick to it like right right. You know,
Reagan was similar to that. And so they got to, this is the
moment you got all these things at once. You got the AP thing.
You got the you got the right. Bunch of stuff going on. You got
the IRS deal. You got a bunch of things going on at once. and
maybe you can distract the IRS and blame it on the Republicans
but there's things going on. And he doesn't seem to be.
So they gotta make him cry is what you're saying. Yeah, he's
gonna make him cry and say, Well, I'm gonna just quit.
You can also suspect that you know you can also drug somebody
and it comes out and next thing you know that something hits him
right in the middle of a speech. Now can I say? He's talking like
a mad dude. Dude, I would be very let
me say somebody have you know, watch the president. Proud it's
funny you say this. He has been talking with his head cocked to
the right. Like he like his neck hurts or something? Yeah.
Have you noticed this? Now?
I'll look at it. Now you watch
him. His head is continuously cocked to the right. When he's
talking. Now he'll he'll twist to the teleprompter. You know,
it goes from left to right. And it's not really apparent but
when he's answering questions, his head is that's when you
really see it. Or at least from the camera angle that I saw. His
head is cocked to the right and I'm thinking wow, there's the
head like a stiff neck or something that could be
something wrong and regardless of whether I mean of course it
would be it would be hilarious if in the middle of some speech
he just went like one of those maybe then when they were
testing on the TV reporters were just like start talking
backwards right
remember? Yeah, that was like that'd be hilarious because this
in detail for a couple of years ago and it was going on for a
long period of time to get those stories kind of ended. Yeah,
that could have been you might be right that was the testing of
some sort of drug
or or or been well be hold on. So what started with the girl
who was at the Grammys I have the here's the video was her
name's serene. Branson think her name was Kerrigan knows her
name. Let's see if I can find it here. This was the Grammys and
too many
details this morning. About that Los Angeles television reporter
was suddenly began slurring her speech and speaking gibberish in
her report on the Grammys. The video serene Branson quickly
went viral and Andrew Kenny has a lot more on this medical
mystery and Andrew anyone who's done live TV can sympathize with
Surrey but right away this seemed to be something far more
Where's the video?
It makes me break out into a cold sweat just watching it but
it does seem to be
yes let's do it. Here we go. My YouTube play
well, a very very heavy heavy rotation tonight. We had a very
dares Derrickson by let's go ahead terrorists ties in those
hands.
That's it, put it in the book. Put it in a book
that it works that has been forgotten by most people
not by me, baby.
This is definitely this is a possibility. Because no one's
gonna make the association that wasn't tested this already and a
bunch of these news anchors who have to be on the on their toes
and they're always reading from a prompter. And yeah, that can
happen and that would be that would be dynamite. What do
you think happened to her serene Branson. Okay, this is Oh, I
wonder what happened. Do you think she's? Is she dead? Did
she leave the profession? Did she? Let's see a serene Branson.
I don't think there's a lot of news about our friends serene. I
think she's off the map when he say I'll just do a quick sketch.
I'll have to look into this more. I don't see anything.
She's just gone. She just gone. Gone from the landscape. And
then it wasn't it happened again. But that was it. It made
so much sense for it to happen their
LinkedIn profile. Oh,
good work.
I can go there and see what she she's now a reporter fill in
anchor. Oh, yeah.
We'll be our fill in either our go to gal for when everyone's
dead.
Casey ale and yeah, yeah, so
this is not what you want to hear. Yes. You're, uh, you're
our first fill in? Yeah, no, that's not that's not really
going to work. Is it okay, good. She
looks very much like Shannon Bream. Anyway,
okay, so that could happen. That would be, but of course, then.
Joe Biden comes in.
I think that'd be great.
I think it would be pretty funny. Yeah, I think we all
would be like, Yeah, well, is is Joe the kind of well, you know,
he he's totally malleable.
Oh, yeah, he plays. I would say Joe Biden's the guy who not only
plays ball but would say it as I play ball, right? Yeah. Oh,
yeah. Hey,
I play ball just so you know give me someone I'm hot babes
wouldn't keep me a great president he would be hilarious
think about it. Doesn't he look good? He could like a good
looking guy. But he could he could say like,
member Fox member when in
was the movie. It talked about Bulworth member deliverance when
he got mad man right. man raped you know break man raped. Well,
no one's man raping Joe Biden. He will be fantastic he does he
would go on there so I'm gonna go Man Ray Bashir Allah shot
myself whatever it takes boys. I think he's the man a Joe's the
guy to beat and it'd be great because he couldn't run it for a
couple of years. You know easy easy in and then be like alright
I did my job and
ah. egomaniac he'd have to run.
No, no, no, no, no, he's gonna run. No, he would run for vice
president with Hillary.
I'm telling you got a vice president a great job telling
you that rock Of course he just wants to hang out.
Well, I'm excited now the future is fantastic. Keep your eye on
the takeaway. I mean that in a sincere way. Of course. If you
enjoyed any of this analysis here on the program today, while

We'll be back again on Thursday with more value for value hope
you enjoyed the show dvorak.org/na until Thursday
this is no agenda
well a very very heavy heavy visitation tonight. We had a
very dares Derrickson by let's go ahead terrorists ties in
those for the bet have the
