Hey, Adam curry, John C. Dvorak.
It's Thursday, July 25 2013. Time forgetting nation media
assassination episode 533.
This is no agenda
coming to you from well, kind of parts on no not really from
anywhere. Although I'm in Amsterdam or even the south of
France. I don't know. I'm Adam curry,
and from Northern Silicon Valley where I'm on tape. I'm John C.
Dvorak. Buzzkill.
That's right everybody. I'm here recording this for you in the
lowlands although right now I'm probably enjoying my champagne
soaked time in the sun in the south of France.
Right and this is clip show two. We've had Ramsey Kane did the
clip show for us and it's in two parts and it's an outstanding
clip show and
could even be used as a primer or primer as you might call it.
So that primer so so someone who has never heard the show before
is now listening to this intro going I'm not going to listen to
this crap. Listen,
you should listen to it. But there's also show 200.5 which is
another one you go to the archives at no agenda nation.com
archives and get to show 200.5 which is a show long ago which
pretty much this describes the history of the show and also
there's the website the Wikipedia entry on no agenda a
plus if you just Google no agenda you'll find all kinds of
stuff but I think before we yak too much let's get the first
part of the clips show started all right, hit it interesting.
Talking about screwed up politicians I got I do have
before we get into the meat of the show, I do have a drunk or
not drunk.
Oh, hold on a second. Let's get on and we have to do
Pat Leahy. Who is this? Pat Leahy? Oh good. Oh, Pat Leahy.
You have to tell me what do you think gives the drunk or not
drunk this these are these you know chairing a committee? He
goes okay. Drunk.
Senator Grassley and I'll get the last word and we'll have a
roll call vote on final. Sooner comes the percent fight where
they
just needed to file a statement for the record with regard to
flake number three, the amendment to clarify something
on is that okay?
And that will be done I also without while everybody's here
without objection, and as at the sound legislative council to be
given permission to make the usual technical and conforming
changes to the bill as amended. objection to that objection,
Senator Coons Okay,
no, he's not drinking slathered
is what he is is complete just play that little beginning
again,
he's completely obliterated now that that beginning is really
good and hold on a second here we go.
Senator Cornyn and Senator Grassley no good
tired he's just tired killed here
well here Here of course,
org slash in a belief time for our segments. You slaves can get
used to makin macaroni and cheese shattered melted together
mac and cheese mac and cheese mac and cheese.
I don't know what it is somehow we ride on the consciousness of
of the universe but and maybe it's maybe it is because you
know we we bought a three speed bike and now you see three speed
bikes riding around everywhere. But I just can't get away from
it. Now Winfrey
opens up about the time she was depressed and scarf down. 30
pounds of mac and cheese. Okay, so
that's Oprah Winfrey. But now, if we had a story about mac and
cheese and a cup in a mug on NPR on Thursday, but they're not
stopping Oh, no, no, no turn to something we've been chewing on
from an earlier story and are on the run series. In Monday's
report era Sally Flores made this observation.
I could buy a box of
macaroni and cheese for $1 bunch of bananas will cost me over $1
Strawberries are $4 bag is just gonna cost me $5 I mean way more
pricier to buy vegetables and fruits than it is to buy
box food. Yes, it's true.
The guy you heard at the end there is Barry Popkin. He's a
nutritionist and economist at the University of North Carolina
Chapel Hill. He explained why that's true.
The notice in this report, you will not hear anyone say it's
probably better to eat the fruit.
Box, even real cheeses. Classic garbage Well here it is
have a profit package food industry which is enormously
efficient. It takes takes a little bit of wheat. It takes a
little bit of artificial cheese that uses lots of chemicals,
flavors, and it makes these magical tasty foods, dinner.
Wishes wishes. How is this guy a spokesman?
Well, he's the nutritionist.
I understand him through his list. Well, well, he's
going to tell you why. This is so much better to have some
wheat, some artificial cheese and some chemicals in it
defend this, kind of that are very inexpensive,
inexpensive Ken says mac and cheese also beats out fresh food
when you factor in other costs to the consumer like labor and
time. So it cuts here it is time
to clip in the day if you didn't have the Maxine Waters.
This is NPR telling you that it's obvious why we like mac and
cheese and why we want more of the ashamed of themselves. One
it's only $1 and you can't even get a banana for $1 The time
it takes to cook a mac and cheese is very short. It's it
cooks in the microwave and it fills you up the tenant fills
you up time it takes to cut up the strawberries to cut up the
fruit. To make it easy. It adds time it takes three mac and
cheese you got nothing but time on your hands
I got no time to cut the strawberry. You mean
man I gotta eat mac and cheese and get out of here.
I'm in a hurry. I'll eat it in the car honey.
The other side is getting it from the farmer all the way
through to the store. Keeping it looking good and not having it
spoiled. Takes a lot of refrigeration takes a lot of
complex steps that are very expensive.
He says another factor is a long history of government subsidies
for food production but not so much for fruits and veggies.
Oh she said it to veggies veggies. Screw your veggie slave
heavier GJ
got veggies here.
Screw your veggies. Have your mac and cheese you're in a
hurry. Get to your work. Eat your mac and cheese and a mug on
the way. Well, there is solace
I just becoming a regular show report the mac
and cheese mac and cheese jingle. We totally know sir Jeff
Smith. Where's our mac and cheese report? Well, we need to
make it a little different than just mac and cheese report. It
has to be living the life of like thug life. You know, like
Tupac Thug Life. It'd be like mac and cheese life. You know
what I mean? It's like it was something like that. Mac and
cheese. So just when you thought an idiot
That was the worst example of anything I've ever heard from
NPR. Oh, people listen to this as some sort of national
treasure. Yeah, say humiliation. Yeah, it's shameful.
Watch this. So I recorded it. Because of course, the first
thing I had to watch by request was beyond the candelabra. You
actually asked me if I had watched that. I was like, Why is
he asking? There must be some reason for this. There must be
something really important about this movie. If you know what,
John fuck you. That's two hours of my life gone for good. That
was the most I mean, it was the most senseless
It was painful. You watch it took me three viewings and
because I got it was I was morbidly curious because it was
a piece of crap.
What it was, it was it was the absolute it was there was no
reason for it. Everything was
my theory is my conspiracy theory is I believe, after
watching the movie, that that Michael Douglas when he made
when he was younger, maybe his dad introduced him to Liberace
at some point. And I think Liberace either tried something
or did something or are somehow offended and
this is his way of getting back out and posture. This
is a this is a this is not a complimentary portrayal in any
sense. Oh, he's per bald pervert. He is just played up as
it not only a bald pervert but a backstabber a creep. This is the
worst I mean if this is his legacy is embodied in this
movie. Michael Douglas got back whatever justice he felt
necessary to do it there's there's something behind the
story.
I totally agree. And, and although the gratuitous asked
shots of Matt, what's his name? At Damon? Matt Damon? I mean,
all right. Nice. Nice. But Matt, thank you after the 10th time
I've seen you getting out of the hotshot loves his bike. loves
showing his butt with his little with this little tan line. Are
you clipping your nails again? No, what are you doing?
I was opening something
to something really interesting happened yesterday, John?
Really? Yeah, very interesting. Okay, so we have one of our
producers can produce his YouTube videos under the name
Arsa nomics. And what he does is he takes audio from our show,
and then he will make a screencast. And they'll show,
you know, the show notes and different websites that we're
talking about. And it's a very entertaining way to propagate
the formula. And he's done a lot of these for us so far. And he,
I think he actually started off by doing this with the
pipeline's theory, Episode 381, if I'm not mistaken, and he got
an email from someone who wanted to talk to the person who had
done this video. And he forwarded this email to me, and,
and this person reached out to me for Ross's his name, and he
is a producer in Damascus, television producer in Damascus,
in Syria. And he says, I want to interview you about the pipeline
theory. Please give me a call. I'm like, Oh, that's
interesting. You know, I don't think we have any listeners in
Syria doing that we know we ever received and
we haven't had any donations from Syria that I know of, and
we might have it we'd have to look it up in the database.
Because
of course, if you think Syria, you think a bunch of bunnies in
the sand, you know, and you know, getting blown up and it's
a war zone, you kind of don't expect to get a cell phone
number and just hey, give me a call whenever it works for you.
So last night, I'm prepping the show. It's about a quarter to
12. So that's, I think the quarters seven or quarter to
eight and Syria. And I checked the number 20963. So, which is
the number for Syria? That's the country code for Syria and like,
I'll give him a call. And can you guess what the first thing
is that he said to me?
He's like, no agenda listener?
Almost as good. Yes. Uh, hi, it's Adam curry. How are you?
I'm good. How are you? Fine. Very, very interesting theory.
Actually, I'm really impressed. question, Are you the same as
MTD guy? Brother, that's me from the 80s and 90s. Did you do you
watch that or did you watch that in series? An amazing show.
Coming here, makes some sense. Because we have a Savior. And
this is a YouTube clip that has now gone viral from Benjamin
Fulford. Are you familiar with his name? Ah, Benjamin Fulford
has been getting a lot of exposure in the past couple of
weeks. He is a as he says, a representative of the white hat
dragon organization. I think that's what it is the white
dragon organization. And this is a YouTube clip of his name.
Benjamin Fulford Fu, l fo rd and he did a press conference with
two amazing guys and we're gonna play you his intro because we,
my friend are safe fellow humans.
I'm Benjamin Fulford, spokesperson for the White
Dragon Society with me here is chortling, Daigaku. He is the
head of the world's martial arts societies and if necessary, and
in an emergency, he can summon up an army of 200 million people
worldwide. That's 200
million ninjas John 200 million ninjas who worldwide in a
heartbeat.
Here on my right is Alexander Romanov, who is a grandmaster of
an Illuminati group that call that claims to have started the
French, Russian and American Revolutions. As you may know,
there has been a battle going on or the future of this planet.
The western countries have been taken over by a mafia
organization, all composed of members of the same clan and
they're not dues, okay? They worship Lucifer. And they want a
world government controlled by them with the rest of us in
perpetual debt, slavery and drudgery and with no hope of
ever, ruling our own destinies. We offer a very different
vision. We offer world peace we offer $100,000 for every man,
woman and child to be delivered in the form of schools,
hospitals, free education, nature preserves, and all the
sorts of things that most people want. We all want to stop world
poverty, we want to stop environmental destruction and we
all wish To have a prosperous and happy and peaceful future,
and that's the alternative we are offering. Thank you.
So this guy could be a little have a little more charisma. Let
me just read your from his blog, as predicted the collapse of the
Satan worshipping financial mafia is accelerating. Well,
this is the guy that's been tracking all the bankers by the
way who have been quitting and leaving the 350 banker. So, you
know, I have learned John in my life, never to laugh at the
crazy guy. You also shouldn't argue with them. But never,
that's for sure. Never laugh at him because that is typically
the guy who is right on top of his game, or has a billion
dollars to invest. Or I've seen it so many times that I don't
laugh too hard. I did have to laugh about the guy who can
summon the 200 million ninjas. This guy is fantastic. He's
wearing a bowler hat. He's got a big stick with all kinds of
ropes and snakes off of it. And he's got like, he's got the
sunglasses. I mean, he's not only that he has the voice. And
he believes that Putin, who is a judo student, is the right guy
to lead the world and his 200 million ninjas and listen to
because a Benjamin who speaks fluent Japanese, I guess will
translate but listen to the guy's voice. He's everything you
want in the ninja leader, Master. No, no,
no. No. No good. Oh, god. What did the power think I Oh, yeah.
Whatever you are. I love Benjamin going. Yep. Yeah,
indeed. Your dog. Neil Yarrow?
Yes, the International associations of Bushido karate,
judo, Kung Fu, etc, can muster worldwide at any given time. 200
million people. And they only fight under the Code of
chivalry, which is you don't attack woman children and non
combatants, which is what the other side has been doing.
I love this guy. Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi.
But you know what? I bet you there's something to that. I bet
you there is you know, yeah. Of all the judo jujitsu shoes. The
all these guys, I bet you there is an organization that has like
some secret network and maybe this is the guy. Yeah, sure.
Listen to what he says about Putin. Well, you Yeah.
He believes that with Putin's help and the martial arts
societies worldwide, we can cause major change. And of
course, the Illuminati who are throughout the Western
intelligence agencies military, and this is not the Italian
Illumina. This is the agnostic and Illuminati. And they want
meritocracy ruled by the people who are the best people who
worked their way up the system, not people who are born into it,
and given it have it given to them even though they are often
not very bright.
So it's funny, but I'm not really laughing too hard,
because you know, I am okay. I knew you'd appreciate
it. Oh, yeah, no, I like that guy's voice too.
He's good. He looks the part though. He is so awesome. He's
so awesome. Who? Putin is the man Putin is going to save us my
friend.
Just the last thing I have is a Feinstein did her gun control
meetings on the
Hill three hours it was long.
It was good as the end where she forgot the call. She forgot that
that her setup man was sitting there patiently waiting
Blumenthal from Connecticut to and she's gonna close and she's
just damn near says that. Thank you for being here. This meeting
is closed and she almost did it. But did she realize that she had
screwed up because the whole dog and pony show was just about to
begin but here have her play that forgets Blumenthal clip for
your service to our country? Oh,
Senator Blumenthal take some extra time. I am so sorry. Well,
you know, thank you,
Madam Chairman. Thank you. I know that in the Senate.
Freshman senators are supposed to be seen and not heard. But
I'm happy to be heard today. You've got it. I want to begin
by thanking you madam chairman for you can kill it.
Because for the next for the next five minutes, all he does
is kiss her ass. Oh yeah. No, but then what Then, I think
shameful display I've ever seen in a congressional hearing
follows and with it also an interesting comment he makes
with the with the clip CT Senator okay.
It's not it's not loading for some reason
and the simple blunt fact is that this issue was thought to
be politically untouchable two months ago. We would not be here
today without the horrific Newtown tragedy. So I want to
begin by asking my fellow citizens of Connecticut, most
particularly the members of the New Town community, Sandy Hook,
promise, the Newtown Action Alliance, as well as the
families who had victims to please stand so that we can
thank you publicly for your courage and your strength in
this extraordinary historic moment. Thank you.
Let's give him a round of applause.
What? Wow. First of all, he admits it the whole gun control
thing stems from the event. Yeah, wouldn't have happened at
all. Yeah, when it happened at all, no chance. But luckily,
luckily for the and here's our here's our, you know, are the
people that made it possible. It's like, wow, I'm surprised it
didn't bow like they would on the stage. All you
needed to say is, as always, for joining us. Good to be here,
bro. That's all you got to say. It's all you need. Just throw
out a broth. Have you heard of the moonlight towers in Austin?
Now? So we have these, they were put up in the late 1800s. These
15 foot I'm sorry, 160 165 foot towers that are spread out
around the town. And they they are meant to be a facsimile of
moonlight. And they function quite well actually. I mean,
it's like there's a full moon over Austin in town. And I'd
never noticed this. I didn't know that these towers existed,
but they were pointed out to me last night. And these were put
in place in 1885. After the Servant Girl Annihilator was
raging rampant in Austin, Texas Killing servant girls. And he
actually has a wiki page, the Servant Girl Annihilator. And he
he was just killing servant girls. Started first black girls
and white girls, like really kind of like Jack the Ripper
style. In fact, that was the same time some people even think
Jack the Ripper was the Annihilator that he got on a
boat and went to London later. And because everyone was so
freaked out about this guy, they put up these Moon towers.
Well, it turns out looking at the moon light towers are
lighting structures designed to illuminate city at night.
destructions were popular across the country. Oh, I didn't know
that. Yeah, they had an Austin Detroit, New Orleans, New
Orleans. San Jose. Which I used to me. Yeah, I'd never heard of
these. Like, there's still a bunch of them. Besides the one
in Austin. I guess there's San Jose had one but they tore it
down. And it was built in 1881. Yep. which I believe was a
distributor the era this was this was the early version of
street lighting. Right. Right. across United States their most
common in 1880. United some places they were used. They were
probably put in Austin because of this. annihilator Yes.
Because they were maybe resistant resisting.
I just love the fact that they came up with the name for a
serial killer in 1880 calls but none of this is new servant
girl. Annihilator. Yeah, that's a good one. That's a show title
by the way. servant. Servant Girl Annihilator coming to you
soon starring Jack Black. Oh, that was really bad.
So did you get Did you see these towers? Because? Because we were
how many are there?
There's several. I think there's, there's 20 or 25 in
Austin, and the house that we were at. They were saying oh,
there's a moonlight tower. I'm like, what it looks like this.
There's a stadium nearby. No nuts. And then you look at it
and you realize is not a state. It's not stadium lighting. It's
a moonlight tower. It's very different from stadium lighting.
And it's like, oh, that's and then you know, people were
laying into this whole story. I'm like, Okay,
how tall is it because the one they're showing here in San
Jose. When it was there. It's not there obviously anymore.
1234 of us just think it's about 15 storeys
high 160 feet high is high. There it's up there for sure.
Yeah.
Oh, here's the moonlight tower it nowhere near where a
restaurant once moonlight tower in Austin. This is a little
different than the original ones. The original ones were big
tripods. This is a straight up thing. Yeah,
it's a it's like a water tower except there's no thing on top.
There's lighting on top Yeah, yeah serious serious businessman
serious business
apparently in Austin which is I guess has the most of them they
had in 1976 they had one on fourth and new newest his or her
newest
devices Yeah. We don't know how to pronounce it either.
The one on Monroe Street and first is still there, Leyland
and East Side is there the first street and Waller is gone. And
they have a mall you still have what you have about 20 of them
or more. There's a ton of them. You're right. Yeah, that's
amazing.
But this old Austin is really true towers
have been destroyed in traffic accidents do have been blown
down by cyclones, and six victims of rust
oxidation strikes again. What's next on the ladder when you
can't afford mac and cheese?
It's only $1
Well no no but what if what is cheaper than mac and cheese
Pike is picking up the cigarette butts from the street eating
them I have no idea casually for the mac and cheese is the is the
question of the show. No cat food cat food. cat foods pretty
pricey.
Now you can get cat food for 69 cents a can but let's say you
can't even afford cat food. Then we have this.
during tough economic times, many families are forced to give
up their pets because they can't afford to feed them, but
they can't afford to feed them. But a new program could help.
It's called pet food stamps. That donation based program can
help financially strapped families afford to buy pet food
and supplies. The organization is open to anyone in the US you
just have to apply to see if you qualify.
I got I got I got a whole bunch of cats and dogs at home pet
food stamps
please because once you get that clip you're killing me with
the sense from the newsman that CNN. So obviously people are
rejoicing like why Yeah, so hey, give me that jacket. I mean
rolling the cat here is over here. Yeah, we got a whole bunch
of cats were taken care of. I think I need some cat food
stamps. Free
cat food stamps to buy the cat food then you would eat it.
Exactly. That is pretty cheap.
Maybe what I guarantee you the hears you want it you want a
meal for depression, cat food mac and cheese all in one. Like
we'll call it tuna Allah Cambay version of the package cheese to
Nala King. Gonna make this I'm gonna make this I'm gonna serve
it to my guests here. I'm gonna see if I can get away with it. I
am going to make the cat food mac and cheese. And
I know for a fact that I could pull that off.
I'm sure you could. I mean, you're a better cook than I am.
But I'd like to try it I'd really like to try and people be
like wow, this is really
wanted to retest it properly. I mean, instead of trying to you
know, use some, you know, aged cheddar from England and making
a fancy fancy pasta we got we got to deal with the $1 box.
Yeah, you have to do with the $1 box and the cheapest cat food
you can buy that you probably have to buy it I think you have
to test this part. You'll have this is my advice to you. You
get you go to the look for the 69 cent cat food and then you
buy every type of it. Yeah, you got to test you got to walk up
and do a smell test and the one that doesn't stink to high
heaven is one you use in this dish.
Yeah, you know what, my hair will be all shiny. So, there
must be some kind of spice that we can use to cover up better
than ever. There must be some verb or herb or spice that we
can use that
versatile herb for these sorts of things that that particular
thing herb I use marjoram marjoram Yeah, I think margarine
marjoram has become my choice.
What is marjoram?
Yeah, marjoram How do you spell that? Ma R Jora M. and marjoram
is sit somewhere in between the qualities of oregano without the
possibility of oregano occasionally depending on which
oregano you have because they come from different parts of the
world. But oregano will occasionally if you use just a
pinch too much turn something bitter. It'll turn like a
spaghetti sauce bitter. If everybody does work fine on
pizza but with the spaghetti sauce. You have to be real
careful because then it goes bitter. And then you have to
fight it you got to put honey and butter. You screwed you
screwed. You can use this stuff by the handful by the bushel you
could take the jar of it and dump it in and I buy it buy a
two pound batches marked by salad Herb
indigitous to Cypress and southern Turkey. known to the
Greeks in Rome almonds is a symbol of happiness. That's
right. Happy mac and cheese.
But marjoram is a great, great all purpose and when you can get
it fresh even better.
Okay, so you think that's what I should be putting in the in the
cat food I'm going to try. I am
basil to
a basil leaf. Here's here's what you do. Here's what you do, you
as you're serving as you're plopping out from a big vat,
this you have to make it look good, but it's a big vat or
vaginally something's got to be a fan, or copper. Yeah, but
you're lopping out this cat food and mac and cheese. And you say,
Oh, careful, there might be a bayleaf still in there. You know
what I mean? That kind
of it's different a Bazeley but a Bailey you should get a basil
even put it on top as a decoration, but you should
probably put a bayleaf in there. And that oh, here it is.
Because it gives that kind of that whole magic act. Oh, I'm
sorry. I didn't mean for you to get the bayleaf you know, it's
that little thing that I add to my tuna Allah King.
actually pull that off. I actually, it might be worth
experimenting with though.
It might actually be very tasty.
You can make anything taste good. French Revolution, the
French developed a whole slew of recipes on how to prepare
properly and eat rat comparisons show the rat so there's enough
protein for the to keep people
alive. Rats are great. I agree mats. Rats are good. And it
turns out you cook them a little bit like a rabbit. And it's just
the dressing of them. You got to skin them and do other things.
The idea? Yeah, dude, we're just dusting. Yeah, well, it's not
disgusting. Rat heads soup. It's not disgusting. It's just a
little. Now let's take a quick trip around the elites of the
world and let's laugh at them. First, we go down under to
Australia, where we're very happy that this took place and I
think it's a very good thing we all can learn something from the
Australian producers.
Australian Prime Minister Julia Gilad has been forced to dodge a
flying sandwich for the second time this month. She was
greeting children at line in high school in Canberra when a
student flung the salami snack. Oh, I think I must have thought
I was hungry. They
thought I was hungry flung the salami snack, I tell you very
good. Very good. So we're very very happy with with that. I
think that's a good idea. You know, in in Eastern cultures, we
we typically throw a shoe
and shoes cost money. Yeah. Here
it's just a salami sandwich. And it's funny because the video you
see that it's a shitty throw by the way. This like it's not the
knife throwing you know, the Crocodile Dundee that did this,
but I think it's funny. Don't you think that that should be
our thing now in America, like we throw salami
sandwiches, Bologna,
bologna sandwiches, Bologna
be better? Yeah.
Just throw a bologna sandwich at your politician if he's full of
crap. legacy media. So David Koch, Likud ro.
So he's was like, he's one of the major donors to Public
Radio.
I read this story. This was what was what was this? It was in
the New Yorker. Apparently what they did was they, they decided
to do the somebody did a documentary that essentially
just slammed the crap out of him.
Do you have? Do you have a clip for this? Or no, I had no clip.
I'm just gonna explain it funny. I
like a good story. Yeah. And one of the reasons that I'm telling
this story because this is another example of why our model
for survival is better than you know this other version, because
the PBS was torn about running the documentary on especially he
like he's on the board of w n e. T. And he's a big supporter.
He's given hundreds of millions of dollars to Public Radio and
public TV.
I don't know if it's hundreds
of a hit piece on him on one of his companies that he's like, on
the border.
Hold on, hold on. I understood that it was partially a hit
piece on the building that he lives in. And it turns out that
there's a whole bunch of other Democrat elites who live in the
same building, because of course,
there is that but the true rich people are Democrats. Why that
proves that that's for sure. But yeah, it was 7040 Park Avenue, I
believe. But anyway, there was a bunch of very nasty stuff about
him being a douchebag. Essentially, yeah. So he just
pulls the plug. He said, Fuck it, I quit this. Quit WNET, I'm
not giving any more money, you know, if you're gonna pull this
crap. So everybody goes on and on about, oh, this just proves
that, you know, they've got great moral standards at these
networks. And this is what the New Yorker essentially concluded
because they had a choice between one of their supporters,
big time sponsor, and then the hit piece. So they chose the hit
piece and got rid of him. He left Yeah, I saw it completely
differently they have never done anything like this to their
other big supporters Bank of America
Chevron Archer Daniels Midland Monsanto BNSF
the Burlington Northern any of these guys which are having you
know there have a liberal bias. So they got the one guy who has
a right wing bias they do a hit on him. Yep, get him out of
there but and then they take all this stage to feel so good about
themselves even though for all practical purposes most of the
public television is anti I mean, we know this it's it's an
anti right it's very pros. Very liberal. very corny. The whole
thing. This is not stepping up. It's corny. corny. It's corny.
Hey, did Oh, yeah. What was it? Oh, yeah, I know what it was was
like, you know, what's been bothering me? Is this
conspiracy? It's a conspiracy conspiracy theorists conspiracy.
You know, that whole thing? Yeah. I
live with it every day. Yeah. So I,
I think, well, you know, what? It's not is it? We're not
talking about conspiracies. We're just talking about people
that are there lying to us. Trying to get around the line
figuring out what's really going on. And so I went out of my way,
since I do have a New York Times subscription to dig up the old
original writings on the Gulf of Tonkin. Which is another one of
those things that during this period, up was oh, you
conspiracy theories? Beerus. You person. Yeah.
Now, when was this? When was the Gulf of Tonkin? What year was
that? Was in 1964? Right? I have all the printouts landscape,
right? Because it's the New York Times. So 64. But of course,
since then, obviously, you know, we've become so transparent, and
it's just you know, the government doesn't lie to you.
Why would it get worse? Oh, that's impossible. Anyway, so
here's an example of how you would have been, oh, you and
conspiracy theorists. It's yours because you think that there was
no attack. Now the funny thing was there was this. There was a,
there was two incidents that took place one day after
another. The second day, and this, by the way, is what
created the Vietnam War for everybody. It was very important
was a false flag. Yeah, well, no, it wasn't even a false flag.
No, it wasn't a false flag. It was it was it was bull crap.
There was no anything. But a whole cloth. Yeah, okay. Well,
here's what happened a day or two days. The first day was
apparently though, we had a ship way off shore. And there was a
couple of PT boats from the North Vietnamese coming up
coming out there to take a look, see what was going on. And we
took a couple of shots at him, much later determined that the
first story was only shot at us. And so we had to fire back. The
real story that came out later was no we shot at them to get
him away. So nothing happened. Somebody must have come up with
a bright idea that the next day, we were under attack. Yes. It
was Vietnamese out here in the middle of the Gulf of Tonkin.
Yes. That day. Nothing happened at all. In fact, Lyndon Johnson
was recorded as saying he
was golfing, wasn't he? What is he just hanging out? He said,
I think they must have been shooting it Wales or something.
But anyway, so the idea was a this was just a lie. There was
nothing and this lie persisted. Because here's an article from
1967. This is three years later,
can I just say, can I just say one thing? So I'm not quite sure
what you were doing with the printouts. But if you're walking
around and saying to people, I'm not a conspiracy theorist, he
looked at this printout from 1864 It says,
I want to start the show.
I'd like to recommend you not do that because that doesn't really
work.
It's for the show. Okay. I don't know nobody thinks I'm a
conspiracy nut anyway. Everyone here Tway W. Fulbright, in a
statement confirmed this is like three years later during another
one of those hearings, you know that they're having? Okay. Did
this ever really happen? confirm today that this end, the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee, and in the staff meeting was
inquiring into the 64 Gulf of Tonkin incidents to clear up
uncertainties about reported encounters between the United
States destroyers and North Vietnamese torpedo boats. Right.
Just three years later, we're doing a little look at look into
it. The Defense Department issued a statement emphasizing
that the evidence that two American destroyers were
attacked by North Vietnamese torpedo boats was conclusive.
Any suggestion that the August 1964 attacks on the U S?
Destroyers in the Tonkin Gulf did not occur is contrary to the
known facts. The Pentagon statement said Yeah, so yeah, so
now if you're back there and by the way, there was a lot of
there were sailors on the ships and they told their mates and
you know, their girlfriends and other you know, there's nothing
happened. I don't know what this is all about, oh, nothing
happened and you'd go out and say nothing happened. This is
bullcrap. You would be dubbed a conspiracy nut or something like
that. This is just a way to marginalize the realities that
are There are behind most of these stories. This went on for
this was three years later, they're still denying it.
Well, it's interesting you bring this up because I
play the great lead in for anything. We can use this as a
lead in for anything. If you're one of over 50 million adults
who suffer from a sore mouth
then you're in the right place. The best podcast in the
universe. sore mouth. Okay, thanks. Thank you that was that
was well worth it. Okay,
very pretty. This girl.
Of course she does. Zen more karma. Oh, I have an update on
that.
The orchestra? Yes. Karma. Okay, I'm all ears.
I talked to my guy yesterday, the meat man. He shall go
unnamed at the farmers market here in Austin. And I said, Hey,
man, can you get something for me? Is Yeah, what do you need?
We need Forex. He said, Oh, I'd love to get some Oryx. $1,000
for a whole Oryx he says it's not bad. No but I don't have a
freezer for a whole Oryx
get a freezing by these little freezers, littles you have to
have a freezer if you're living in Texas, there's also something
else we buy inst meat off the hook. There's also something
else freezer,
there's another there's another problem. I don't have $1,000 to
spend on Oryx,
you're gonna split it with him it's only 500 So he says
that you can't you it's very hard to buy it because he says
all these damn greenies he says the people on these on the
hunting farms they don't even sell it anymore. You have to you
have to find a buddy and get it because they give it to their
employees they eat it themselves because when they sell it
there's just too much hassle. So they don't even want to sell it
so you have to get it through a back door but he says a grand
and and I'm good to go so but maybe I can split my half with
someone else locally so
believe me it's worth you. I don't I you know if you can find
a way to get half because it's a big animal. Yes. What he said.
He said Is he is a really big animal. Yeah, yeah, it's a
big animal. So it's a lot of meat. And it's going to be
delicious in his in you but you you should start shopping for a
good freezer. We actually have two up in Port Angeles and I've
got one here. I should get a bigger one. Yeah,
but you bought that before the depression.
Yeah. Funny. So anyway, so I was looking into cooking Oryx. I
sent you a little link to some orange or x how you cook it you
call I didn't get that link. It was a clip. It wasn't a link it
was a gave a cut and paste. You know, read my email. Nevermind.
I did not get an email from you about Oryx.
Yes, no. Yeah, no, I could find it now.
If you want me to. Yeah, it's in your draft box.
Anyway, I'll you have to apologize on the next show when
I sent it to say look. So anyway, let me finish. So I
started thinking about these animals and what they're like in
terms of cooking, because you kind of have to figure out how
to cook them. You can't just, you know, do anything. It seems
as if these are hoofed animals that like to climb around and to
do or these are morally these are somewhere between a venison
like a gazelle. And a goat. Yeah, because everyone describes
the meat is like cooking goat. And people have to know that
goat doesn't taste like what you think it tastes like. No. Goat
is a great great dish that we may have not been eating much in
the United States because it's associated with poor Muslims in
his was kind of a bigoted way of looking at but goat is is like
the mildest best tasting lamb you've ever had.
Oh, I'm sorry. Here's your note. I apologize. Now. Orcs. This is
from hearing as I dined on aurochs Times Book. In southern
Africa, several folks proclaim the best among the best eating.
Okay, that's
different. That's the other Oryx that's the one that's in New
Mexico, right? This isn't the scimitar Oryx because those are
those were extinct right?
If you're ever so lucky, be decadent with the tenderloin
saute one inch medallions lightly in butter and whip up a
brown sauce with mustard mushrooms. Oh. Oh my god. All
right. Well, I'm gonna I'm gonna try it well it's expensive.
Anyway. Just what
is it per pound? Oh, maybe it's maybe it's not as expensive as
you think. It's a lot of pounds. I'm living over 100 pounds of
meat which is five bucks a pound and you get a bunch of orange
hamburgers. Gotcha man. Never some buddies over flooring Epsom
Oryx burgers.
By me asked me if I can do it on layaway. Oryx burgers, burgers
Would you like some ketchup on your orange burger?
Can you resist?
Alright, let's move on. Hey, you know, do you realize how close
how close I came to completely nailing the Super Bowl outcome?
Yeah, you came pretty close. It would have been 69 and it would
have Been San Francisco who won? Yeah, I mean, within the last
couple of seconds. So
that game we would the power goes out there would apparently
was a bet on power going out
how long how long did was a bet on power going out.
That's what somebody says I have really good, but really, there
was a Vegas bet on the power going out.
Well, it was out for a total of 33 minutes. 33 minutes. Yeah.
And here's what I caught the other night. Chris Christie, the
governor of New Jersey saying what you would
do in that situation being a parent for God. I mean, how do
you pick and the the NFL guy Roger Goodell he was with you.
Last year I was in his box. But what happened when the lights
went out? He didn't seem to care one bit. I actually did. You're
seeing some popcorn checking his Blackberry. So I
think he was in on the bet. was checking his Blackberry. Yeah,
he was in on the bed.
You think you would care?
No, no, no, doesn't care at all. Now, of course when whenever we
say Oh, this is all rigged, and it's fixed and people begin to
laugh, but I'm sure you have heard about the 680 matches in
European football, soccer, which Euro poll is now investigating?
Because it's all red, particularly the Champions
League.
Over 600 matches have been drilled to be rigged, rigged,
rigged. The people always laugh we say hey, the fixes in all
this stuff. was in for the Niners in this game. And I think
I don't know, can I tell you how far behind here's what I mean? I
just want to see if they have to fix can be in and you can still
go the wrong way. Somebody usually gets killed shortly
thereafter.
Well, here's what here's what I thought initially. Now. I didn't
know about the betting on the power. That's possible. I
thought now these are the coaches. Their brothers Correct.
Yeah, so we had a Cain and Abel thing. I believe that the Ravens
were supposed to throw the game because all professional sports
are rigged. And then the brother went eff you, bro, I'm gonna
kick your ass. And that's why remember I mean if you saw they
were fighting on the field and like the first five minutes
they're all fighting and pushing because the San Francisco was
like Hey, bitches that we're supposed to be winning here.
What are you doing? This is not what we agreed upon.
That they can then they kill kill the power the power and
then just die or started to catch up and then they fell
apart? They almost wait too far behind. It was just impossible.
But do you see how they like 17 points in 15 minutes? Yeah, I
literally think that they were there was so much money riding
on this that was fix San Francisco supposed to win then
the brother goes screw you bro I'm not playing that game I'm
good I'm out to win he right what a Baltimore have to lose it
likes relentless do it you know, we don't give a crap. Then they
went into went they went totally for the kill went for the win.
And then you know, it's like, oh, we're panicking, throw the
power. And that's when San Francisco you know, got the kind
of gotten back together again. And I think because the points
were much closer that even if people lost at least that point
spread wasn't so enormous. So the the power outage helped the
guys who would weigh in on the game that make any sense,
do we Well, no. Because the points okay, well, I'm glad I
four points five points for Baltimore. The Baltimore team
could have lost and still won the bat.
Okay. But to me, that's what it felt like. Well, it
felt fishy to me too. And the Niners have a history of having
kind of corrupt games, even though nobody wants to ever talk
about it. But I remember they had a game against the
Cincinnati and the guy Eddie de Bartolo, who was the original
owner that brought the team back from from essentially from the
seller of the league and made them five times champion more or
less. There was always something fishy about every game, there'd
be like one of the top linemen on the other team would
mysteriously disappear before the Super Bowl. Seriously,
there's all these kinds of things so I figured what the
Niners are always going to win because it's this kind of stuff
going on I think that this this I think your theory is basically
correct. And I think somebody is going to be ended up dead in the
next three months.
I think it's very, it's very possible. And it's probably
going to be that dude who killed two people. What's his name?
But dude who yeah, there's
that there's the dude who? The player, the dude who killed two
people and he got off.
No, no, he's
the kill him he's expendable.
He's on the Baltimore team. You gotta kill somebody No, they got
to kill somebody who made the deal. In the Niners organism or
maybe the Baltimore organization somebody's gonna get killed
though. I'm
telling you to kill that guy as a warning.
Well, as we'll see, because why notes we want you to read books
in the Red Book, somebody in the in the league somewhere along
the lines in the end fl is going to be mysteriously murdered.
Yeah
I want to take just a moment here to play this little clip. I
was sent to us by one of our producers I think you receive it
as well. This is a great clip from the 50s Maybe it's got to
be late 50s I guess of Rod Serling Did you see the clip
that was sent to us by our Yeah, it's
it was part of a Yeah, one of his old interviews was quite
interesting. This is the one is just the one about how he Yeah,
this is actually this is before
before he before the Twilight because he was a producer, actor
writer before the Twilight Zone, which is he's most famous for I
guess, what are the things that did Rod Serling do the Muslim
for
a heavyweight? He wanted crapload of awards for his
dramas.
I mean, the guy was awesome. And it's cool, because it's funny,
Mickey was, was taking some stuff off the wall while I'm
recording this clip. And she says he couldn't see it. But she
said while the guy really talks old fashioned, I said, yeah,
there's an interview from 1950s Oh, wow. Can you know because it
is kind of the 1950s vibe. And I think he's talking to who's the
big CBS guy? Morrow? Isn't?
I don't know who he's talking to. In Color wasn't Morrow?
No, there's black and white. And any smokin on camera too, which
is kinda useless.
Yeah. Well, you're smoking. Yeah. But it's still cool that
he's just smoking
on camera just to his to
all do that. On his intro under? Awesome. I mean, can't you put
it down for one minute rod?
So this is from the the more things change, the more they
stay the same? 1950s. And one of the reasons why we have our
value for value model here on no agenda.
Pre censorship is a practice. I think of most television
writers. I can't speak for all of them. This is the Nexus Mike
Wallace, prior knowledge of the writer of those areas, which are
difficult to try to get through. And so a writer will shy away
from writing those things which he knows he's going to have
trouble with on the spot, storyteller and agency. Exactly.
We practice it all the time, we just do not write those things,
which you argument which we know are going to get into trouble.
Who's the culprit? Is it the network? The sponsor? Mature is
not the SEC. No, it's certainly not the FCC, ideally speaking,
of course, it's a combination of culprits in this case, Mike,
it's partly network. It's principally agency and sponsor.
In many ways, I think it's the audience themselves. How do you
mean? Well, I'll give you an example. About a year ago,
roughly 11 or 12 months ago, on the Lassie show. This is a story
usually told by Sheldon Leonard, who was then associated with the
show. Last he was having puppies. And I have two little
girls than age five and three, who were greatly enamored of
this beautiful Collie, and they watch the show with great
interest. And last he gave birth to puppies. And like it was
probably one of the most tasteful and delightful and warm
things depicting what is this dismiss wondrous thing that his
birth? And after the show, I think there were many
congratulations all around, because it was a lovely show.
This sort of thing. I'd love my kids to watch to show them what
is the birth process and how marvelous it is. They got many,
many cards and letters, sample code from the deep south this
was if I wanted my kids to watch sex shows, I wouldn't have had
it turned out that I could take them to burlesque shows. And as
a result of the influx of mail, many of the cards incidentally,
a Sheldon does it repost, Mike at identical moments fall in the
same handwriting, but each was counted as a singular piece of
mail. And as a result, the directive went down that there
would be no shows having anything to do with puppies,
that is in the actual birth process. Well, obviously, it is
this wild lunatic fringe of letter writers that greatly
affect what the sponsor has in mind. You can understand the
position of the sponsor, in many ways, I suppose I can he's there
to push a product. He has a considerable stake doesn't what
goes on the air. Most assuredly. And in those cases, where we
where there was a problem of public taste, in which there is
a concern for for eliciting negative response from a large
mass of people, I can understand why they guys are frightened. I
don't understand like, for example, other evidences and
instances of intrusion by sponsors, for example, in
Playhouse 99, a year ago, a lovely show called Judgment at
Nuremberg, I think probably one of the most competently done and
artistically done pieces that night. He's done all year, and
as you recall, mentioned was made of gas chambers. And the
line was deleted cut off the cut off, cut off the Assad track.
And it makes it not a little of these guys at the gas involved
in concentration camp was cyanide, which bore no
resemblance physically anyways, to the guests you had installed,
they cut the line because the sponsor was did not want that
awful Association made between what was the horror and the
misery of Nazi Germany with the nice chrome wonderfully
antiseptic ly clean, beautiful kitchen appliances that they
were selling. This isn't is an example of sponsor interference,
which is so beyond logic in which is so beyond taste. This I
rebelled against, you've got a new series coming up called The
Twilight
Zone. So of course, the most important part of that piece is
really at the beginning, where he talks about the pre
censorship where these topics just just not even broached,
they just don't even come up just not even just because it'll
never work. You can never You can't say that you can't error
that you can't do this, you can't do that. And, and if you
do, then, well, look, they will have letter writers, which of
course is all bullcrap. But people go after the sponsors.
Know, and I've talked about this a lot, as a writer. And because
people always like, you know, the argument is, well, you know,
Microsoft is telling you guys what to write. And by the way,
Microsoft's not the worst actor in this kind of thing. And then
you would, and it's really ironic that people would say,
well, we cite Microsoft, especially when you write for PC
Magazine, because Microsoft was one of the louses advertisers
they never didn't ever advertise. They don't have any,
any any push at all. But anyway, but what they do have is a lot
of public relations, because it used to they don't do this much
anymore. And I think this is really hurting them. But they
used to be hounded you hound the editor, I'm arguing are hanging
around that guy stuff. So there's a point where you where
you can come out and honestly, say, for example, as a writer,
you can honestly say, I have never been told ever what to
write. And of the but then again, you have some stuff
that's rejected occasionally. And then you can kind of figure
out what not to write. But you can always say that and then you
say with, honestly, because most of the time, you're just self
censoring. You just say, I'm like, What's the point? am I
wasting my time turning this in? When it's gonna get kicked back?
I want to write something else.
Right? Which is which, by the way, when the whole download
fiasco happened with Apple's iOS six, did you even send that to
me? Because I said, Look, here's the evidence. Here's what's
going on. Here's how the logs work. Here's what's the here's,
they've changed the TCP stack. They got all kinds of shit going
wrong on the inside with their iPhone, and it's costing us
money. It's costing all kinds of people headaches, and money and
problems. And I think you literally said, you know, what's
the point of trying to write a column that just gonna knock it
away, and an apple won't answer, and they'll never happened, it's
not going to happen,
right. And this is another secondary effect, which I should
mention to people that you want the inside scoop, which is you
will occasionally have something like that piece, which I wasn't
going to write, like you said, I just wasn't going to write. And
the reason is, is because it was this kind of thing and you want
to put in a high profile spot. But it goes like this. This is
an interesting thing you've done have you did you get response
from Apple? Yeah. And you call up again, I get a response. So
you put you could say you have they won't call me back? Well
give it a try somebody else you guys sure you can get somebody
to say something? They won't say anything. In fact, you had
contact go there. They wouldn't even talk to you and you weren't
writing anything? Yeah, so they're
calling them assholes that might have
documented better because you know, you can you prove this you
know what you did? You got some some laws was this is happening.
And once you start getting grilled about the details,
because there's more than just a simple opinion, you're accusing
you do write when you do accusatory writing, you have to
have some time to do it. And then they don't pay anybody
anymore. Another newspapers do and magazines for sure. They
don't pay anybody enough to spend days and days and days
researching something, it is a loser, have an idea. And then it
doesn't have any effect, because Apple fixes that thing
eventually, anyway. You know, so what did you accomplish? Did you
make them go faster? Did you make Did you embarrass the
company? Was that the idea just to try to humiliate them. I
mean, it's it's a waste of time. And that's the way that all the
media works. The only reason that this show is so good, is
because we have no constraints. I mean, we can bicker about
hipsterism for 10 minutes and it's too bad
and the good news is you can fast forward and you can rewind
the tape
Well, that was interesting. I didn't you know, this actually
to be honest about the first time I've heard this clip show I
edited part of it to get it onto here but I didn't listen to the
whole thing. It's really pretty good. We should also
mention that Ramsey Kane who was one of our producers who put
this together he maintains no agenda cd.com So he also has a
YouTube channel and it's just you know, you can you can
download entire CDs with the with the artwork to put on the
cities but also just individual clips and we really appreciate
what he's done because he not only gave us a tour, well, a
show off which was nice He's, but also I think really gave us
an outstanding product that is worth passing around.
Yeah, he dug back into the archives to to get some of this
stuff. I also want to remind people that are producers of the
show that you will have your producer credit on the show
itself. And you will be thanking everybody on the first of August
when we do a show live, anyone who contributes to the show, and
we want to remind people that we still need the donations and
contributions and producer ships and all the rest of it. So if
you go to no agenda nation.com no agenda show.com and click on
the donate button, but also, of course, dvorak.org/in A to help
us out for the next show, which will be coming up in on Sunday,
which is a the interview show that we do,
which is original content, which has not been although my
interview was one point published on the big book show,
but I don't think a lot of people saw that. It's the audio
version. So we'll get to that. We'll talk about that on Sunday.
But right now, let's just get back to the Ramseys clip show
and get to part two.
Big news big news breaking out just this morning. Hold
on a second. I said ladies, gentlemen, hot news. Breaking
Yes, John C. Dvorak. What are you learning?
Times are tougher Debbie prostitute in western England?
Oh, no. As a private flat with other mature ladies. She does
two or three jobs a day a year ago she was doing eight or nine
hookers in England have to lower their prices are not just
businesses down what? Yeah, this is in The Economist. Well, I
mean, we was on sale
we is that the title of the article?
Okay. It might be a title for the show is Yeah, write it down.
We have long necks, the title is sex doesn't sell well. Now this
is very
interesting because you have long for many years. As long as
I've known you always use the Devorah Coker indicator which
says instead it's kind of like a more it's actually dates divorce
tax law. As we know we have Moore's law we have divorce tax
law is the worst the economy not only do the hookers get better
looking but they get cheaper but not that they have less gigs
Well, it would seem to me that the Lord the price enough they
would have the same number of gigs which is a supply and
demand. Oh classics. I think that's where it came from,
by the way. Okay, so you're what you're saying is that
modern economists don't even buy supply and demand anymore. So I
think that this is your this is where it came from was
right. Okay. Because they are the true free market.
Yeah, well, to a point.
Yeah. Well, they're not there. Yeah, exactly.
So anyway, this is interesting is this is an indicator, you
know, supposedly everything's heard in the past. This reflects
the sluggish economy overall, consumer spending at the end of
2012 was almost 4% lower than its 27 peak. And Vivian and
independent escort in the South who get to write this escort in
the south of Trump put out to get her name in here. Oh, okay.
To supplement her income as a photographer says paying for sex
is a luxury. Food is more important the mortgage is more
important petrol is more important especially at these
prices
well so a wait a minute hold on hold on these
aren't just counts out of desperation as well. So down to
30 bucks
this make Wow, this makes a lot of sense because in times of
war, I think that's when indeed you know, the the prostitution
industry really kind of falls apart because the soldiers don't
pay for that. Just take it you know, that occupying forces,
right. So I think that this is a new line has been crossed in the
UK. That's very sad.
Was 30 bucks. And so your perspective that's like two
pounds Do you remember Kevin the blade? Kevin the blade? Yeah.
Kevin the blade. He was the the Canadian kid who listened to no
agenda. And I was looking for someone to help me edit the big
app show when I was still doing that. Remember how that's some
time back there back in the LA days to Kevin the blade. And he
he basically like, gave up and went back to Canadia with his
girlfriend and he's been tootling around but he has come
up with a I've always knew he was an intern. Essentially, I
paid him whatever I could, but he really worked for basically
for no money. And so I wanted to thank him by giving him a plug
for his new project, which I think is going to be a massive
hit and he's doing I don't know if it's a Kickstarter or an
Indiegogo or something. Anyway, it's called come giggle with me.
Come giggle with me.com and it's a reality cooking show with
people who are stoned on marijuana.
Let's find you know I've always wanted to do a talk show really
similar to this? It was, but it was different. It My idea is
this and I still think it's valid. The name of the talk show
is legally drunk. Okay. Yeah, that sounds that sounds. And you
have to and you have to have a breathalyzer right to make sure
you're legally breathalyzer and then the announcer comes over
and a big thing slams on the screen, legally drunk.
Okay, you're good to go. And then one day, then you get on
the talk show.
Then you go out, you're on the talk show. I'd be the host. I
would be sober. Yeah. And you just get people yakking drunk,
because they'll say all kinds of crazy things. Right, show
somebody I like
it. I like it. Well, so in this case, five stoners are pitted
against each other to see who can cook the best munchies and
throw the best party.
Oh, this is similar. Yeah.
legally drunk is good. How about legally baked? I think it's
funny when people are stoned. Because when people are drunk
can also get aggressive. And
that's fine, too. That's good television.
It's great television. I would produce this with you. Yeah. And
here's your host of legally legally baked. Who would be your
first guest?
I think first you got to find people that are that like to
drink. I think that's
what I can do. Legally. I'd do it. I get baked for your show to
be a guest. Well, I
baked to me implies marijuana or something like
yeah, no, I don't want to do legally drunk. I don't like
drunk.
I know. No, I'm not going to do a big show. That's too. It's too
it's too slow moving. You wouldn't have to be nobody to
ever be aggressive and they wouldn't start yelling. fallen
off the chair the wrong opportunity. Yeah,
you're right. You're right. You're right. What am I
thinking?
Well, you might and on top of that, you might as well play I
feel terrible.
I feel terrible.
I just cannot sit here and concentrate on my lines. Because
I'm so nauseous. Who's that?
Is somebody on the world's next model or whatever the hell
do you watch that? I watch that glibness You're horrible you're
there was a caches clay and oh no the armed militia this was
interesting to me because it brought it the caches clay thing
is my notes. There was a Paul was talking about how you know
we're Americans by right are supposed to be armed to the
teeth right? For whatever reason, and I'm reminded
reminded me of an anecdote that was interesting. When because
when people bring up gun control and things like that, and I'm
not a gun control advocate or non advocate, I have to say I do
like shooting guns and I'd like I have a lot of friends that
have collections we will go out to a range and shoot turn John
doesn't a John. No, doesn't actually doesn't turn me on but
it's a lot of fun. Okay, anyway, so no, like an arsonist. Anyway.
So I visited the, the mansion or the former mansion of the anti
bello or the Civil War. I guess he was a state officer Cassius
Clay, who was a Henry Clay's? I think his brother okay. And
cashes Clay had this place out and outside. I think it's
outside of Lexington, Kentucky. People are going to start
writing Do you don't know anything. But I think it's a
Lexington so I went in there and caches clays is very famous
senator. And he one time a cannon apparently. And he was an
abolitionist, which was not popular in the area. And so they
tried to like fuck with him. And the locals. And so then the
including the sheriff and and the local police, and he had a
cannon in front of his house that he filled with shrapnel.
And when they came to, you know, either get him or arrest him or
harass him or whatever they're going to do. He'd shoot it at
him.
Which was his second amendment rights being exercised.
Exactly. And, you know, eventually they stopped coming
over. And he needed to do that. Otherwise, you know, bad things
were gonna happen to him. No, thanks to the local authorities.
And I've always thought that was like, you know, people moan and
groan about it assault weapons hold arrest. Skye has like a
cannon that he's shooting and so so I'm always thinking back on
that like, what would have happened if he didn't have the
cannon? So I
think there's lots of modern day analogies to that story.
None that I can think of but yeah, but there probably are.
Now, by the way, that the funny story about about the caches
clay house, you know, in catches clay, of course, is who Muhammad
Ali. Yeah, named himself after right? No, no, he named himself
Muhammad Ali. He was born Kenneth Lawrence. ashes clay,
okay. Because most of the lot of real you know, a lot of famous
blacks are named after famous whites, or mean I'm sorry, a lot
of black slaves were named after famous whites and became a
tradition in the black community to name people after famous
people. Okay, and so caches Clay was named after this guy. Now
the kicker and anybody who happens to be in the area of
Lexington should go check out this. This is actually a very
interesting place. Because for one thing, there's a bunch of
little, like busts that showed, for example, his sister's
clothes and the some of these people during that era, in the
1850s. Were, if they were four, seven, it was a miracle,
especially the women that weren't getting a lot of vitamin
B. And his his wife was obviously a she was a nice wife,
I'm sorry, I think was a sister. This has been years ago when I
was over there. His sister was and I should obviously read
something before I do these interviews or these dis show
with you.
Why ruin the spontaneity? Yeah, right. Um, so I'm waiting for
the ETA on this point you're about to make.
I'm getting there. So anyway, the it's a long road. Anyway, so
his sister was a woman, you know, activist. When you start
to see the pictures of her and all her friends you could tell
she was kind of she was a lesbian. It's kind of amusing.
But anyway, the story I'm trying to get to, but she was like four
foot two or something. They had a like a thing of, you know,
like what the clothes she wore. She couldn't have been bigger
than a 12 year old. She had a huge
as cannon
that she might have. Anyway, so I'm looking around this house
and there's an there is a newspaper article about a famous
African who came to visit Kentucky and he visited the
house and he met with cashes clay. And his name was Muhammad
Ali. Wow. Yeah, that's what I thought and so I was like, wow,
that's cool. And I'm now I'm thinking that that cash is clay
himself, the boxer may you know, because he
eat heard the story, and he named himself Muhammad Ali. He
may have actually visited this museum and saw that day but
that's a cool name. Because there's a weird connection there
that I there's never been explained to me. That's the
story.
Oh, John. I am so happy you told me that story. Well, we might as
well get into it right now. 33 of course was rampant rampant
all over this meteorite strike over Russia. 33,000 miles per
hour. $33 million dollars is what is going to cost us
everything was 33
Yeah, I know. And why what is it? What is it? What did the
boat because that's been going on with it people just our
listeners should know that. We discovered this 33 kind of mean
that that we have no idea what will what its purpose is but it
always tends to indicate some sort of a sham or a scam or
a signal the signal Yes. Wink,
wink kind of thing. We some sort. But we don't know who's
implementing it, how it got implemented. But it's shows up
far too often. In fact, it used to be a segment on this show,
which was stopped doing because it was just ridiculous. We're
out of here we go. Yeah. The magic number and it would be
endless. And it always be sketchy stories.
Okay, so do you want to do I have a I think a pretty solid
theory on why 33 showed up around this Russian meteorite
All right, I'm because this is clearly a 33 type story,
obviously, first of all, as a as a renowned Nobel Prize winning
astronomer, I would love to hear your your general take on what
you saw on these just fascinating video. I mean, so
professionally shot and so you know,
just great. Well, I saw like a crashing plane in one video and
then just a streak and then all the good videos of course were
were computer generated. Yes, yes. There was a few people
floating around with cuts on their faces. And then they
showed a big hole in the lake. Yeah, surely this hit delay that
this is what's kind of weird. So this thing hits the lake at
33,000 miles an hour. Lakes 33 I guess it puts his route
perfectly round a hole in the lake but if it was coming in
with that kind of impact, I think it would have drained the
lake strong the lake completely into the air and it would have
just been a huge mess and it would have there wouldn't be a
nice hole with ice around it. There would they would have been
blown. The ice sheet would have been blown to smithereens if
this thing had hit that At water at that speed, it would have
evaporated half the lake and blew the rest of the lake into
the into the woods. I mean, this is bullcrap.
Yeah. And do you notice how, you know when when there's a cruise
ship with 4000 people pooping in bags, CNN sends everyone there
and they're on the scene and they're on the air for hours
covering it live as this thing goes. Seven
Poop, poop.
Poop gate. And this frickin meteorite explodes with the Oh,
and by the way, 33 times the Hiroshima bomb. I've heard that
one a couple times. 33 times, please. It was like they send
one guy who happens to be in Moscow, they send them up there.
And then there's a bunch of guy like, hey, why don't go back,
you know, you're fulfilled here. You know, it's like a bunch of
rooskies. And then everyone's just accepting this, like, this
is normal. Whereas this has been the last time this happened. Do
you know what the last event of this magnitude of an exploding
meteorite?
I'm surprised when that knocked down the forest? That yeah,
there was an asteroid, I think.
Well, now I've learned that an asteroid becomes a meteorite
when it enters the atmosphere. But that was the Tunguska
the big one that knocked down, like something like 1000 square
miles of trees.
Yes. And that was in 1908. In Siberia, and it knocked down.
See how many because you still see the pictures of the trees.
And that was sick. I think that was a larger event than then
this was, but but I just have a couple questions before I get
into my theory here. So when when the sound of speed is 700?
And what 62 miles per hour was like 1200 kilometers,
you jot down barriers of speed of sound.
Yeah. So the sonic boom, you know, a sonic boom takes place
over the the sound barrier. So of course, 33,000 miles an hour,
does not mean that you get a bigger boom. I mean, I don't
understand how come when, you know, when a jet breaks the
sound barrier, you know, we don't have walls crumbling? And
it's, I mean, is it the speed? Is it the size of the object?
The distance, I think from the word you're hearing that we
don't hear. So is it illegal to make a sonic boom in the United
States? Oh, I shouldn't be arrested.
I should be arrested. What? I should be arrested. I made a
sonic boom just this morning.
And you're talking to me about the master bass joke.
And now the kicker and I was a little dismayed. Because I
actually watched this thing Thursday evening, I was like, Oh
my God, no one has seen this. No one's looking at this. And then
saying, Yeah, and like last night, I saw one or two postings
on the news network about it. And this morning, you sent me
the same clip, I was like, I'm sure to nail clipper the day.
And here it is the best question ever asked of Janet Napolitano
with a stunning answer.
Take it for granted. I mean, we, I'm sure. I mean, I don't know
if you practice two layer authentication with your email.
And do you have you know, multiple passwords for your
accounts? I mean, it ultimately comes down to some level of
personal responsibility. And we don't always integrate it into
our lives, and we just sort of treated as an afterthought. And
that's, yeah, that's why, you know, decades ago, nobody put a
seatbelt on when they got in the car. In fact, cars didn't even
come with seatbelts. We need that same kind of cultural
awareness and change more quickly. It were cyber safety is
concerned, do you
integrate it into your own life? I mean, do you have Amazon and
iTunes accounts separated into different passwords for
everything? What is what is your personal cybersecurity look
like? Well,
okay, don't laugh, but I just don't use email at all. Really?
Yeah. Yeah.
Because it's too time consuming or for security purposes.
For a whole host of reasons. So I don't have any of my own
accounts, and then that, you know, I'm very secure. Yeah,
you're off the grid.
So I thought about this. And so obviously, the reason why she
claims to not have any email, she doesn't want to be culpable
in any of the incredible shenanigans that go on at the
Department of Homeland Security, because that, of course, is
always how they nail you with the discovery documents. You
don't think so? You have
no I don't think so based on whatever answers when she when
he asked her specifically why she didn't use email and she
wouldn't and then he had two to two conjectural responses that
she refused to address. And so I do it for a whole host of
reasons. Yeah. I honestly believe that she doesn't know
how to use a computer. No, you're kidding me. No, I
responded to that. Well, I don't believe she knows how to use a
computer or she doesn't even know what Amazon is. This is
this is a this is a person has been a government official all
her life. She was a Governor, you know, government officials,
she was a governor. She was she's been working for Homeland
Security, which is is essentially a book of you know,
she's got secretaries and helpers and take a memo. Yeah,
she is the old fashioned style of executive that literally, I
believe, cannot use a computer at all. She doesn't know how to
turn one on. She wouldn't know windows for Macintosh. This is a
complete embarrassment to the entire public, the the
population of the United States that we have somebody running a
department like Homeland Security, and discussing
cybersecurity and just obviously mouthing platitudes about, you
know, denial of service attack, she doesn't even know what that
is. I totally convinced of it. There's no evidence to the
contrary.
And if you listen, and I'm actually going to say that I
think I'm going to agree with you. If you listen to this
little follow up that she adds to this to this admission. I
think it plays right into your your thesis here.
Some would call me a Luddite, but, you know, there you
go. She's even saying I'm a Luddite
is a Luddite? a Luddite? Doesn't, you know, in today's
world parlance, a Luddite is somebody doesn't like or use
computers? Yeah. No, here's something we hope you're really
like to actually so did you get to chat with it says we're
talking. We're on this topic. Did you get that song I emailed
you? Yes, I did. Play it. Interesting. Before you played
I'm going to this, I ran into the song I was recording a, this
is from a movie done in 1942. And a lot of people out there
don't realize that. But if you don't realize that, both the US
England and most of the countries in World War Two in
1942, a lot of historians will say that we actually technically
have already lost the war, the war was over, and the Germans
were going to win everything. Okay, and, and so 1942, there
was a turn around, mainly because of the productivity of
the American factories, where we were cranking out, I mean, we
Manchester discusses this in one of his books, and he has all the
stats, which I should blog one of these days, because they're
actually quite phenomenal. Whether it be like doing a ship
a week kind of thing.
And like, you know, 700 aircraft a month. I mean, it was really
high turnover,
or more. But anyway, there was a lot of they were cranking out a
lot of stuff and then war turned around. And we ended up winning,
but that then 42 It wasn't clear that we're going to and so then
so there was a bunch of interesting sociologies that
took place during this period. One of them that that fascinated
me was this song, which is in a movie. Literally, you know, one
of these war movies called in the movie was called Iceland.
And I don't have the singer's name but I think the band was
Sammy Kay. And and I found it interesting because this song is
essentially if you read between the lines, kind of making
a don't even tell him don't even tell him
Yeah, okay, well, we'll listen to it and then we'll discuss it
listen little meaning it's the all around the day issued by the
highest priority.
Service simply can't be turned away. You must get priority. If
you're patriotically in the call to this you can say no to a
soldier, a sailor or
you can say no with the wants to dance. If he's gonna fight to
Romans, get all your lipstick and be beautiful and do your
time man it's still okay. You can always get some in a
sisterly way. Oh, you can say no. No your God. Your woman to
win you can say no sailor or handsome he wants to dance. He's
gonna fight he's got a right to romance. Get out
it's almost submarines. You can knit a sweater. Oh you can say
no no
you better given
Yeah, That's basically saying, Do your local servicemen so we
can win the war.
Yeah, there's basically saying that you know, let's do whoring
out the country because if you don't get you know, because you
if you don't get get keep these guys happy you know you're gonna
be stuck with you know what you get in a war situation somebody
else takes over I was raped I
really liked it where it was, you know you can always kiss him
in a sisterly way. I thought that was pretty funny.
Yeah, there's also there's a couple of twists in there, you
know, be beautiful and dutiful.
And I got to try it tonight. Honey, you've got to be
beautiful and dutiful tonight.
And my, actually, my the really interesting little twisted
phrase in there was you know, if he says it's cold in the
submarine, you can knit him a sweater, but that's not what he
means.
So I know I don't know. And then you got was it Popeye? Are
Brutus popping in there?
Yeah, that guy. I can't remember his name. He's in a lot of
movies from that era.
He, he's like an Ernest Borgnine type guy. But
he's actually he was a character actor showed up here and there.
And he's in the B movies. Mainly.
That must be so that's part of a film you said?
Yes. It's a it's a scene in the movie Iceland. And they cut to
this song. And I just thought it was interesting because it
matched the year which is 1942, which is the year that we're
losing
the year you were born, of course. Yeah.
No. And not that old. And it was a year we were losing it down.
There actually weren't a lot of people born that year, because
they're most people were
waiting. Was that before Pearl Harbor or post? No, that's after
Pearl Harbor. Right? Okay. So yeah, downer mood, for sure.
And then the Hitler was like, you know, beating everybody up.
And so it was a bad time. And I think a lot but the interesting
part of the song, which is like telling these women to get out,
you know, to get to work, having sex, I think sensually as it
seems a bad thing, because this this whole arrow is is
completely just completely lost to to anybody, today's
generations, or the anybody. And as a matter of fact, I think
it's kind of
You mean the general got general vibe and how people felt and
what the what the
because we have like the you know, these war efforts that you
know, like in the Vietnam War and all these insincere wars
that we've been seemingly in and you never had this kind of thing
where this was, this was actually a desperate situation
where we would people had to do things. And I think this song
reflects that in some way that I don't think we'll ever see
anything like it again. Well, I got a couple of kind of, again,
a little cultural stuff here. I wanted to maybe get to sure hit
me I ran into two new versions of the commercials for Celebrex
and Cymbalta which are the competitive drugs for arthritic
people. And I'm trying to decide which one is better. Well,
there's two of them what not and this is interesting because you
have a serious theory if we can find we got to find the sales
figures for these two because of your basic premise. Which I'm
subscribed to is correct. The one with the worst sounding side
effects it's gonna kill you would sell better. Okay. Now
there's a here's the to know Celebrex has gone to the Wilk it
will actually use the word death.
Oh, they're they're good advice on
they've got no next layer. So we have to watch the sales figures
in the future because this is new as far as I remember. They
never talked about debt they always talk about it will replay
this Cymbalta ad first, and it's not that they hit that death,
but they never say death. And it's a little softer. Sal, I
think I think it's not going to do as well.
Imagine facing the day with less chronic osteoarthritis pain.
Imagine living your life with less chronic low back pain.
Imagine you with less pain. Cymbalta can help. Cymbalta is
FDA approved to manage chronic musculoskeletal pain. One non
narcotic pill a day every day can help reduce this pain. Tell
your doctor right away if your mood worsens, you have unusual
changes in mood or behavior or thoughts of suicide.
antidepressants can increase these in children, teens and
young adults Cymbalta is not approved for children under 18.
People taking MAOIs or thyroid disease or with uncontrolled
glaucoma should not take Cymbalta taking you with NSAID
pain relievers aspirin or blood thinners may increase bleeding
risk severe liver problems some fatal were reported signs
include abdominal pain and yellowing Skinner eyes. Tell
your doctor about all your medicines including those for
migraine and why long Cymbalta call right away if you have high
fever, confusion and stiff muscles for serious allergic
skin reactions like blisters, peeling, rash, hives or mouth
sores to address possible life threatening conditions. Let's
talk about your alcohol use liver disease and before you
reduce or stop Cymbalta, dizziness or fainting may occur
upon standing. Ask your doctor about Cymbalta. Imagine you with
less pain. Cymbalta can go to cymbalta.com to learn about a
free trial offer.
Well, they're not lying. You have less pain when you're dead.
There's a couple of things. Both these commercials did, I thought
was interesting. I don't know what the genesis of this is. But
I've never noticed that before. And these
feel no pain when you're dead. Cymbalta because you won't feel
pain when you're done. So he
says one non narcotic pill. And the other guys the guys that did
the just the Celebrex, they don't say it but they have a big
flashing thing non narcotic non narcotic. So I guess there must
be a third alternative that's narcotic or they're maybe
they're trying to tell people you have to take morphine and
this is better.
I don't know. It's simple physics. A body at rest tends to
stay at rest, while a body in motion tends to stay in motion.
Staying active can actually ease arthritis symptoms. But if you
have arthritis staying active can be difficult. Prescription
Celebrex can help relieve arthritis pain so your body can
stay in motion because just one 200 milligrams Celebrex a day
can provide 24 hour relief for many with arthritis pain and
inflammation. Plus and clinical studies Celebrex is proven to
improve daily physical function so moving is easier. Celebrex
can be taken with or without food and it's not a narcotic for
you and your doctor should balance the benefits with the
risks. All prescription NSAIDs like Celebrex, ibuprofen,
naproxen, and Meloxicam have the same cardiovascular warning they
all may increase the chance of heart attack or stroke which can
lead to death and this chance increases if you have heart
disease or risk factors such as high blood pressure or when
NSAIDs are taken for long periods. NSAIDs, including
Celebrex increased the chance of serious skin or allergic
reactions or stomach and intestine problems such as
bleeding and ulcers, which can occur without warning and may
cause death. Also taking aspirin and the elderly are at increased
risk for stomach bleeding and ulcers. Do not take Celebrex if
you've had an asthma attack hives or other allergies to
aspirin, NSAIDs or sulfonamides. Get help right away if you have
swelling of the face or throat or trouble breathing. Tell your
doctor your medical history and find an arthritis treatment for
you. Visit celebrex.com And ask your doctor about Celebrex for a
body in motion.
Okay, now before you say anything I've done the research
here now first of all, let me say that even though they played
the death card in the Celebrex I think the Cymbalta sounded
worse. Because this he said like you know it could be death.
Yeah. I really feel that Cymbalta sounded worse than
Celebrex and you don't need that you disagree.
I thought they were pretty well balanced. They had a lot of
symptoms that you could get and a lot of there was a few extra
ones like the swelling of the head. I thought that was
unusual. But my head's really big as the other one had if
you're confused Call your doctor if you confuse you won't know
what to do now. But
there was there was a lot more I know. Anyway, the results are
here. Celebrex annual revenue, $2.5 billion Cymbalta annual
revenue $3 billion. So maybe this is a reasonably new ad. So
maybe Celebrex was like, Man those guys there do that kicking
our ass? We got to step it up. What can we do to say death?
Okay, so we'll check in a year. And we'll see because I think
that you know, the theory still holds true.
It results should show up in the next two quarters visibility.
You can place you can place a bet on it. Get an option call in
there. And of course it reminds me that we are so stupid. We are
so I mean yeah, I know people are going like facepalm really?
You're stupid like we didn't know that. Here's our jingle if
you
wake up with the blues. Jennifer your day good news. There's one
thing you must remember no agenda and moaning for a healthy
balanced news diet try no agenda
show.com Way too uplifting.
Oh yeah, no good.
It's completely wrong. We have to make calls anal leakage. You
may wind up divorced your family will hate you you could lose
your job death let's just try it again. Maybe if maybe we're not
doing it right.
Yeah, well someone will come up with a good one for us. Yeah,
well, we gotta get sir Jeff Smith. We I mean we have to have
death in that you may die after consumption no agenda enjoy. So
the the the capability we have which we're not harnessing by
the way, we are such losers as human beings. We will will come
around I'm pretty hopeful that we're like we're all waiting for
some company to do it or some some, you know, some bull crap
vent and all of this venture stuff for me. So we have this
new thing and awesome. It's called sidecar. Are you familiar
with sidecar? Have you ever heard of this? It's not just in
Austin. It's in other places. You know, sidecar
rings a bell, but you better I don't know. Okay.
So sidecar is essentially it's a system, it's an app. And you as
a private citizen can decide that you are going to be driving
people around like a cab around town. Yeah, yeah,
no, we have that here. There's a number of there's three or four
of these things around the country, different brands of
these things. So sidecar
is interesting, because it really is citizens themselves,
who then say, decide to become a driver. And then you can look
and see, you know, and you see the cars nearby and you can tap
on it. See what that guy looks like a creep. I don't want him
picking me up. So no, you know, you get the you select someone.
This, by the way, is a 40 year cycle. Again, this is a modern
version of what we used to have in the 70s, which was
hitchhiking,
right? It takes hiking. And well, the hitchhiking was
actually better. This is the problem, because here, we're all
you know, and now there's a company and the company is you
know, involved in middlemen. It's like, Why? Why can't we
just figure that the problem is we have bought into this cheap
mirrors and trinkets idea of oh, there's a cool service, there's
Twitter and all this stuff, when we need to be using the
protocols that we control, so that we can self radicalized,
I'll use that term organize ourselves. Because it's a
beautiful system. It's a beautiful idea. But there always
has to be someone in the middle making money. And that screws
everything up every single time. And for some reason, we've been
programmed into not seeing that that is not the way to go. We're
like, the like the idiot who just keeps walking into the door
that like, oh, it's close, close, close, close, close. How
many times are we gonna hit our head against this wall until we
understand what we really have to do?
That sounds like drone talk.
So I that's something that that came up on the news that I just
needed to go back to our show on Thursday. It only took him a
couple days to come up with the big lie. So the new president of
France, who are all by the way, when it comes to the best
podcast, the universe, the French are incredibly cheap
bastards, you know, and then they don't even listen. But so
they don't even listen. So the President of France, went to
Mali, went to Timbuktu for a victory lap. Did you see this?
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Three weeks after launching an assault against our kinda align
militants in the north of Mali, the president of France was here
on what amounted to a victory tour. He never declared mission
accomplished. But he was certainly cheered and even
hugged, as he walked through the streets of the ancient city of
timber to until a few days ago, he wouldn't have been able to it
was controlled by militant jihadists who have now fled
after French paratroopers landed on the edges of this iconic
community, President Holland troops, the French, and the
mullions, as well, as well as ordinary people. But he added
that in the future, the job of protecting iconic communities
like this one won't be that of France, but of Mali and West
African troops, they are now moving into the city in order to
secure this ancient community.
Okay, so a couple of things with this report. First of all, so
this white dude comes down from the heavens, and I don't know,
if you see the video, there's just like a whole bunch of
Malines jumping up and down and they're jumping on his neck and
like, oh, I don't know what they told him who this guy was. They
probably said he had this is Brad Pitt's brother or
something. He did. I have no idea. Now this sounds like it
was a victory lap. He went in, he saved the Mali and they're so
happy. Oh, President land or land we love your stories, your
terms. Your terms. Your Tim, please listen to the report of
what went down when they took Timbuktu back from the
militants. This is only from Thursday.
The airport's was quickly secured. French soldiers in a
few million units moved into town without firing a single
shot not
a single shot was fired. This is what they know militants there
was no al Qaeda. There was nothing there. They just walked
right they dropped out of the sky. And there was no it was
like remember when we landed in Mogadishu Mogadishu? Yeah, at
night and CNN was on the shore filming him and the Marines were
like oh, what is it same thing there was no al Qaeda there were
no terrorists. So what are these people so happy for it? This is
all staged. Totally bullcrap. And then what?
I know what they're jumping up and down for they gave a short
each one to Frank.
Here's here's a mush. Here's some Yeah, exactly. You hungry?
They want a burger.
He's gonna be giving everyone money the more you do the more
money you'll make one of those guys one of those setup guys on
the show
with his scripts, and he's clapping his script in his
hands, and
I've got to give him a round of applause. And the same goes on
applause like crazy will give me $1 If you do that.
Exactly. And I just like and what is this iconic community?
This this? What is all this bull crap? What does that supposed to
turn into a
tourist trap?
It's gonna be You're right. You're so right. Come visit the
iconic community of Timbuktu. You've heard about the song,
you've heard the band. Now come to see the iconic legendary
historic community of Tim muck to
put a nice airport runway in there and people go to Tim but
to stay at the Four Seasons,
maybe they can stay in a teepee.
Now, maybe one of the two. If you wake up
with the blues, Jennifer, you'll gain good news. There's one
thing you must remember no agenda and moaning for a healthy
balanced news diet and try no agenda show.com
Now, I just have a couple of things in the war on ammo. So
Erin Burnett, as we say, here in Texas, because everything is
Burnet road. She she did the most horrible thing. Now we know
that as a part of this whole gun conversation, which by the way,
I just I want to point out that we have military doing exercises
over our cities. We're going to have the Sandy Hook children
will be singing at the Super Bowl. Apparently, you know, oh,
you know, it's like, oh, we can't have guns. You know, guns
are bad. But of course, the Super Bowl will start with jets
flying overhead and military marching bands is like guns are
great in America as long as you don't have them. Alright, so
just the insanity of this. And of course, we are looking at
insanity literally from a perspective of our people
drugged and now everyone's coming out and saying, Well, you
know, there's a high correlation between these mass shootings and
these guys who've been on drugs except they never actually
report that they only say it after the fact a little bit.
It's never like he was on drugs never ever is that in the
report. But the high correlation between video games, not the
media. It's not television and movies, because now we give them
a tax break. We we love them because they help get our
politicians elected and stay in office. So we will stay away
from the media but we will tackle video games. So Erin
Burnett has a constitutional law professor on from Harvard and
she is going to state the fact that video games make turn men
into violence mass shooters fact and he's going to debunk it and
she's going to just steamroll over him. Particularly when he
goes off script you'll like it or he's
declined there's the saying that guns don't kill people video
games to
do you know the same John
I've never heard this saying The old saying
is hold saying that comes from the wild west. Guns don't kill
people. Video games kill people open wait, there's more
than their grass implies they make kids more violent. Does it
add up William Pollack is a psychologist and author of real
boys rescuing our sons from the myths of boyhood it sir, I
really appreciate your taking the time. Let me just ask you
the point blank question. It is a lot of people out there now
they this is accepted as a fact that all these violent games and
by the way, they are horrifically violence
just it's accepted as a fact. It's accepted as a fact. You
hear what she's saying?
Yeah, she says it's accepted as a fact when in fact, it's not
accepted as a fact. Just the opposite is why
we are seeing this feeling of this seemingly explosive
explosion in mass shootings. True.
Now not true. I mean, I agree with the senator. We should put
some controls on those violent video games, but they don't
cause the shootings anything more than one item does.
So this is where already Aaron's like, who invited this guy. It's
a fact it's a
fact and that man did say that he trained on a video game.
Oh, I have no doubt about it. I agree with Senator Grassley we
need controls over violence in our media and in our
Oh no. Oh, no, he didn't. He didn't say violence in our media
did he? Oh, Aaron. Aaron get to work girl video games,
especially for younger children. But that alone isn't the ASIC
causing isn't those controls
it? But what about another question about Grand Theft Auto
so let's go right over the media thing. Let's go right back to
video games Grand Theft Auto.
There's probably some viewers out there play Yes, all the
time. Alright, this turns when you kill people. Well, you win
points, right? For example, you kill a prostitute and that's a
big thing. You get to win points. I mean, you know, I find
that offensive and disgusting, but
hold on Aaron
is a prostitute.
Exactly as a prostitute, I find that very offensive. You don't
kill hookers. I find that offensive that would be like me,
does that mean that those people who play that game are more
likely to kill people?
No, it's heinous. It's more than
so he's saying no, now she's she's gonna have to discredit
this guy. Law Professor Professor guessing
it's heinous. And it's possible that boys who who watch that for
a long period of time might stand back when fighting occurs
and not protect someone or engage in domestic violence, but
there's no proof that either they're gonna go out get a gun
and shoot someone. Absolutely no proof at all.
All right, well, thank you very much. We appreciate your taking
the time and and you know, giving some some provocative
answers. They're
provocative answers, provocative answers. Provocative answers,
you know, yes, controversial and provocative answers. So this is
the this is what is going to be fact. Guns don't kill people.
Video games kill people. Fact. When you kill hookers in Grand
Theft Auto, you want to kill people for points in real life?
Fact.
She's an idiot.
She's absolutely not just she's a CFR member. She's in that
drinking
clan. So while we're on this topic, I know and then listen to
this. This
is a commercial for MSNBC moving forward or whatever. They're,
they're not not sistic slogan is, listen to them. Tell me
what's missing.
We must have a renewed fight for many of the things we fought for
because voting rights and women's rights and the rights of
people against discrimination, whether they're African
American, Latino, lesbian, and gay must be protected. Until we
have a nation that is really living up to the creed of one
nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Not
all of one can but all
All right, what did you miss?
I don't know. I couldn't I began to put me to sleep halfway
through what did I miss?
Okay, so two things First of all, no. racism against blacks,
Latinos, gays, lesbians, but nothing about white people. Or
women. Or animals. There was so that's all that is but no, he
left out God. He's doing the Pledge of Allegiance. One Nation
indivisible. And then he says with liberty and justice for
all. What happened to the god part? And he's supposedly the
reverend. Yeah, listen to it. He is really crazy.
Is really living up to the creed of one nation, indivisible, with
liberty and justice for all.
Okay, I don't mind but I thought it's interesting. He is the
Reverend Al Sharpton. Is he not?
Yeah, yeah. I think he's an atheist. I think he's an a hole.
Wow, that's true. That goes without saying the rest of it is
up for debate.
Meanwhile, I will be starting a new business when we move into
town. I have a new business idea. Dutch bikes in Austin.
Some for some reason. In America in general, someone decided that
bicycles could only be one of two kinds 10 Speed racing
bicycles, or mountain bicycles. What happened to the utility
bicycle? Like you know, a bike
that the regular cheap bike used to have when you're a kid?
Well, not just that, but one with a has a basket? Yeah, with
a basket in front. Yeah, a utility bicycle. What happened
to this concept? I checked every single bicycle.
As I go around here, there's all these bike lanes. And there's
nobody using the bicycle like that to go sup to the store. And
they're no they got their speedos on and they got a high
speed bike and they're pumping away, up and down and up and
down. They're not doing anything. I mean, they're just
exercise you might as well be on a stationary bike if you're just
going to exercise in the bike lane. When you're in Holland.
There's people are going from point A to point B they're not
fantasizing. But in Austin demanding a bike lane because
oh, I can exercise in the bike lane. No.
And Austin Austinites. You know, they ride bikes a lot.
I think it's I think that's something you stumbled onto the
fraud of bicycle. Yeah, but
what happened? I mean, if they would just Yeah, fix these.
That's what they're called. They're called fixes. But you
just need to just, I mean, I think people would really take
to it and we're going to be living right near South
Congress. It's a little to me a little too far to walk. But you
know, we drove from the new house to South Congress to get
some lunch and like, this is stupid. If I had taken more time
to park, then you know, then you have to diagonal Park back into
the parking spots of South Congress, which is kind of cool.
But it's a pain in the ass. No, it's not cool. And yeah, it's
like I just I just want to bike and then
I'm looking around and they have
those types of things to make sure people have their front
license plate. Cam I don't have a front license plate in the
Never. Well, you're probably gonna get a ticket back in
parking bull crap.
So I so I know I want a bike. I look at doing a bike cost. You
can't get a bike. You want to buy a bike it's like a mountain
bike or a 10 speed bike $900 You're freaking frickin bike
which will get stolen. Maybe maybe not. I'll steal your the
bike you're talking about
in Amsterdam, I can just go to the central station and just
like some junk will sell me a bike for 10 euros, and then
that'll get stolen and I'll buy another one is rotating system.
But just a utility bicycle where you can put your briefcase and
if you go into the office, you know this Austin is a great it's
flat, generally flat. Now this we have lots of room to ride
your bike. People ride bikes, but they're stupid. You got to
you got to have you got no fenders. So what if it if it
rains and you get wet? Because the fenders you know the light
you have to put a light in your arm what happened to a light on
the bicycle is a stupid we need a reset.
And I was the kid. We had banks it had lights telling you and
we'd make noise with playing cards in the spokes.
And you could put your girlfriend on the back of the
bike and she can be read and with you. It's cute or on the
front on the handlebars. Then when I was a kid, yeah, I had my
girlfriend riding on the handlebars. There were songs
about this. There were songs about against the Now there were
songs. Let me say we gotta find this song now.
Bank had fingers. You're laughing at me. But one speed
I think. I think this is a business. I think there's a
business.
You've been the one speed in.
What is it called fixie? fixie bikes. It is by the Alessi
brothers. Oh Laurie. I'd like to ride my bicycle with you run the
handlebars. You laugh and run away do i mean come on? The
song's about this stuff. No. You can't ride on the front of your
10 speed bike on the handlebars a helmet on and we don't need
helmets and offs and even better. Don't need helmets
stupid. You look like the doofus with your helmet on. Like you're
going so fast.
Well, that's the end of our clip show number two for
we leave that in because that sounds so incredibly insincere.
It was great. Hey, it's just like we were sitting here
listening to the clip show with you.
Let's be honest, we weren't tight ends at the before we
produced the whole thing. So it's kind of hard. When we
perform from a natural perspective. We're trying to
fake it. It makes it sound like We're faking it because we're
not
It sounds really bad when we fake it. But that makes us
that's why we're the we're the best podcast in university. We
don't bullcrap you we don't we
have another show coming up on Sunday, we want to make sure
that people realize it's all original content. You haven't
heard this stuff before. Unless you listen to the book show
