Which day will that be?
I don't know. Look on the calendar.
That's why I asked you. You're the you

Yeah, so that's coming up too so he can look forward to some
phoney baloney event to
take place. Speaking of phoney baloney events. You're going to
talk about the Ukraine now let's talk about the Oscars.
Oh damage. What? I left my notes downstairs
and I even asked you in the pre stream if you wanted to go good.
You want to go get them real quick and then I'll do something
for myself.
Yeah, just some for yourself and only take me a second. Yeah.
Okay, let me see what I can do for myself. While we're waiting
for John to go do that hold on a second. Well, you know, we can
do something we haven't done a long time. While we have
everybody paying attention. Let's do our national anthem.
Ladies and gentlemen, please rise for your nation national
anthem and of course you may sing along
we are all challenge ourselves to be human resources in all
lands from the east to
west down
we are happy and distracted
Alright, perfect. People are always asking to hear that.
Yeah, that was actually a good move. It's just enough time for
me to run downstairs and get something it's a small house
apparently. Well, not if you're running
Alright, since you ran to get your notes, why don't you start
reading off your notes first and I can I have
couple of things. Yes, one I don't think that I remember the
the Oscars ever seen. I could be wrong. But I don't remember
seeing Jim Carrey ever being allowed on stage.
This was something new that indeed he was back. And it was
weird because he only got to the intro a movie. Yeah,
guy comes out. He says Hey, everybody.
I think that we're going for full on Celebrity power
regardless, just whoever we can get the throw him on stage.
So Carrie did a really good Bruce Dern imitation. And that
was it. Yeah. But I thought that he
I don't need a whole review of I don't collect it. I don't need a
whole review of the Oscars. I mean,
a couple of things I wanted I noted. Okay. Kim Novak. Oh, my
goodness. Oh, I don't know if people should look her up and
see what a beautiful woman she was and what plastic surgery can
do to you now.
She was in vertigo. Was it Hitchcock's vertigo? I think
she was in a whole slew of
movies. But I mean, that's what I
was like one of the most beautiful women in the world.
And now she looks like a muppet. That Versace Donatella Versace
has the same place
all right all right enough where the mainstream jokes come on
move on to something joke. I know what this is everyone's
talking about this to tell me something they didn't know I
don't you sent out a really good newsletter which was all about
the the obvious native advertising in the Oscars.
Disgusting and then I found disgusting of all the coverage
of it which was worse
which is in itself. have native advertising
except I don't know whether they're paid or not.
And this is a really big problem if you don't know what we're
talking about you I'm sure you noted, and it wasn't just the so
called selfie that Elon was using the Samsung Galaxy. I
don't know what it was a note, I guess, read or something. But
there was a man. And it was, I think, from what I research I
got Samsung paid about $20 million for the whole package,
including the ads and the integration into the
programming.
Right? This is the latest thing they're doing their if they're
buying ads to make it, you know, do they actually makes it worse?
It makes it more obvious doesn't. I know, they don't get
it. I mean, when in the olden days, when they had a church and
state thing, which I talked a little bit about in the
newsletter, you just being in a magazine, they didn't let you
talk to the advertising guys. And if they advertise these guys
showed up with some idea. Yeah, you know, they had to be thrown
out. And the idea was always the same as Can you write about
these guys? And, and but you would write feature stories,
coincidentally, about something and then not all the time, but
once in a while, because the because the wells for the
advertising was never known by editorial. Occasionally, it was
very rare, but it did happen. It had been enough that you get a
lot of letters on in the public groused. Occasionally you'd
write an article about HP, and an HP ad would coincidentally
show up in the Arctic. Yeah,
I'm sure the sales guys had nothing to do with that.
No, they didn't. Well, I mean, if they did, they're pretty,
pretty. Pretty cool. Well, let me interject, because let me
finish this, because the public would be outraged. Outraged,
there is no outrage.
No. Zero outrage. In fact, everyone loved it. Yeah,
everyone was, oh, this is great. Look at this picture. It's
awesome. It's retweeted it. This is really nothing new in 1980.
May, I'm sorry, May was 1990, the summer of 1990. MTV had a
problem they needed to get Budweiser to advertise on the
network. Think I've told the story before. No, and they
couldn't figure out how to get Budweiser and they asked me to
help them pitch an idea. And the idea was, instead of creating
some programming that you know, that Budweiser would want to
sponsor, they went to where Budweiser was already naturally
in that was Spring Break. And that is the entire reason for
the creation of spring break on MTV. Now that is not that is not
native advertising per se. It that's more product placement.
However, if you go back to those early those early days, and I
had to do some of this I think it was South Padre Island. I
think that was funny. I live in Texas now. Do you remember
spuds? Mackenzie that fucking dog? too? We had the terrier?
Yes, we had to do like the top 20 countdown with spuds next to
me.
I don't want to get off the top topic by Jeff to just throw a
quick anecdote and I'm getting off the freeway in San Francisco
and there's a homeless guy with his sign I had I was gonna stop
but I was it was great. Rick Greenlight had drive. He had one
of these kinds of dogs with the perfect black round around one
one eye exactly the dog that this homeless guy would take go
to a modelling agency make more money than
standing up by the highway All right. So this is not new and
but for for MTV at the time you know cable no one knew what to
do and it was you know, that was oh it was kind of innovative at
the time and then that's that kind of slipped away but product
placement is a huge business already and you see cars showing
up but now
really handle computer in most sitcoms and cop shows.
Well, from what I understand until recently it like you know
after Steve died Apple was not paying for that most of the
Apple products you would see on on programming before before
Steve Jobs died was never never paid for was not
part of releases they had a department that they had
a department that would give select celebrate ease Apple
computers I got one and but they actually they asked for it back
after a while. Like six years. An apple two Yeah. And I gave it
back silly me was dumb. Yeah. Now they had they had a
couple was for inventory reasons. What was that
guy's name? Jim. Oh, Daniel Paul. That was his name Daniel
Paul. I'm sure he's doing he's not at Apple anymore. But that
was his entire gig was to give celebrities an Apple computers,
loan them to them. Anyway, but now it's really become Part of
the of the programming itself. And it's being dictated by the
advertisers. And that is, that's where it moves into this new
phase. And you just don't know anymore if this coverage is
real, or if it's just coincidental. So for instance,
on our show, we'll talk about products that we like. And it's,
it's not advertising, it's information. It's no different
from us playing a clip from somewhere and telling you what
our opinion is, or deconstructing something. Right,
because you know that we're not getting paid. Because if we
weren't getting paid, believe me wouldn't be doing the stupid
podcast. And I have a nice car.
Yeah, we had to buy used cars.
And no, we have to look back and it's
probably the best thing. Yeah, but no,
I have to buy them because I can't even get a car loan. The
guy that
sold cash, we can't lease this to you, you're rich drug dealer.
Exactly. None of this. This was to be expected. I thought it was
pretty funny. I thought it was interesting to watch how it came
together. And of course, by now you people have probably read
that the backstage pictures that Elon was tweeting of her and
Brad Pitt, of course they show up on on the tweeters, as you
know, sent from my iPhone, which you know, someone's gonna get a
memo about that. Yeah, I
got that point. Yeah, right. larious oops.
We don't talk about that anymore. Quiet.
Well, then, supposedly, one article, they had to actually
train her child, how to use it, to use it. And even though it
seems to me that I think did the problem with training or how to
use it for is actually a problem for Apple who was suing Samsung
over look and feel. Yeah, because it's apparently not even
close to being the same
product. It's very complicated. So
there's a thing you push.
Yeah, I noticed two other things that I would want to bring up
because we know the native advertising stuff is completely
bogus live. And what makes it worse online, is that
publications that New York Times, the LA Times, Mashable,
Mashable, Forbes, Buzzfeed, Huffington everage, The New York
Times and Forbes, let's just take those two by themselves.
They are actually allowing and this is the part that's
egregious allowing the advertisers themselves to hire
their own people, maybe they get them from some pool of talent
that is isn't publication approved. And then they create
an article and then they get to have access right into their
content management system and post it to the there's
absolutely no, there's no, I think the only thing that
happens is you create the article, you post it and then a
bill shows up. Now, it's that simple. And, and, of course, no
one's disclaimed, as you know, sometimes we'll say sponsored
content, sometimes it will say something like, hat tip to our
to our sponsors, hat tip to Samsung, is becoming very
opaque. They would
like to get rid of that part, too.
Do you know that in in, in Europe, certainly in the
Netherlands, I know Germany, they may be an EU wide
advertising law, I'm not quite sure. Certainly on the radio,
you have to have an identifiable Well, we call it a Pingle. But
some kind of music hit. That's identifiable as advertising when
advertising is being played before and after the ad. So you
can do so let me see if I can do an example. So I could, let's
pretend we're on the radio here. And now we're in in the
Netherlands. Of course, we're, we're speaking Dutch, but people
can hear it as if we're speaking English. This is through our
translation machine. And it's time for a delicious Coca Cola.
John, would you like one doesn't that tastes really good? Doesn't
it feel? You know, I
was just thinking the same thing.
See, now that would be kind of fair, because now you heard the
ID thing, you know that it was an ad. You may get used to it
over time, but at least we've identified it was an
advertisement, that maybe something like that should be
you should be net would be necessary.
Well, they were they used to be and it when in the olden days,
it used to be a thing across the top that said advertisement.
Yeah, if it was the sort of content and in fact, magazines
and newspapers like the New York Times, had advertorial high end,
they wouldn't even take these sorts of ads even though they
were they were the rules were simple, generally speaking, it
was this. It had to clearly say it was an advertisement across
the top it didn't have to be big giant letters. You just have to
say it across the top and there's like a line this is
advertisement a line. And then the typeface and layout had to
be Slightly different. Yeah, you had to either have a different
font, or you had to have a different layout. You couldn't
use the same exact font and layout of the newspaper or the
magazine. Right. Right. Right. Well, that's gone that part.
Yeah. That's exactly the same thing when it came along a bean
counters is why do we have these restrictions? No. Last week,
genius, this is costing us money.
Well, it doesn't matter because people will either really love
it. Or they'll come over and listen to what we have to say
from time to time, because it's going to get annoying to
people's
content. As sponsored by the listeners. Yes. And they don't
care what we say as long as it's interesting to them.
So here's one. No, no, I know you tried. I did. Now here's.
Here's the two things I noticed. Matthew McConaughey. He wins the
Oscar for Best Actor. And everyone's like, yeah, yay.
Good. And all of a sudden, sudden, he says, I'd like to
thank God. And everyone's like, what?
Like watching about boxing?
Oh, no, we forgot he's from Texas. Oh, no. Oh, he might be a
Republican. Did you say it was like it went to a slow clap all
of a sudden? My Oh no, he rude. I'm with this guy. Is that what?
Science Science Science High? No, you can't have God. Now I
think he is referring to a universal power more. I that's
what my feeling. I don't know him personally. But it doesn't
even matter. It was I thought it was the funniest thing ever.
Everyone was in shock. Oh, crap. We got some crazy religious
Republican on stage. Get off our stage you. I thought it was he's
from Austin. Yeah.
This place and chickens as
I don't think he has a place here anymore. From there, he's
from here. Yeah. So I just I found that to be so wonderful to
see that happen. And he just noticed that you could just see
people, man, and he kept coming back to it. Yeah, God, oh, Cue
the music. Get him off. Get him off
me about the estrus more than anything, is that the early
awards at the very beginning for the crappiest things that nobody
cares about best makeup, the person comes out and they are
allowed to blab forever as long as they want.
And then they start to lose time. And then by the time you
get to the good Awards, the one you care about people have to
get 46 seconds and you gotta hurry up. I
sent him off to stay. In fact, I missed the last couple of awards
because the DVR ran out of time.
Oh really it doesn't it doesn't automatically adjust if the if
it goes over time. Sometimes it
does. It depends on the signal that it gets from the station.
There's a bunch of codes and flags and all the stuff that
comes over but when it when there's no way of telling it to
keep going it just just stops.
Now here's the thing that I was very worried about. And I think
we're already seeing the results of this telecast. Um, those of
you who follow my thinking will probably noticed that
immediately that we had a huge event taking place during this
particular Oscars telecast, which I find to be
disconcerting. We had an activation of perhaps thought
hundreds 1000s Maybe maybe hundreds of 1000s of MK Ultra
patients the minute pink came on stage
in case you didn't know the MK Ultra a real mind control
programme from the US government has as one of its activation
methods The Wizard of Oz specifically the song Somewhere
Over the Rainbow. Yeah, and you can look this up and you'll see
it it's the monarch programme specifically of MK Ultra also
big monarch butterflies are are often used in association both
of these by the way showed up with the Sandy Hook kids when
they dropped by the ABC Studios song makes me feel like she's
what
I'm I think that what we saw with people like Abby Martin,
and the wall check I think that might have been activation from
the rainbow song on the Oscars. Everyone wouldn't
go there because I think it's kind of crazy. But Abby Martin
and Liz wall quitting, you know, within 24 hours or 48 hours of
each well she
quit she didn't quit now
she's made a fuss and she should be fired. Oh
that's the one that's the one you wanted, right?
gets there.
I thought it was pretty good. I think it's perfect.
John Fletcher, thank you.
The Liz wall thing was like, Okay, this is this is just plain
weird. For one thing that our tea was not really Slynt doing
much in a way of like covering the, the the situation in the
Ukraine, or in Ukraine.
I'll tell you what, why don't we? Why don't we step back? Not
everybody who listens to the show has heard everything. Why
don't we start briefly with Abby Martin and just play her little
bit. I found this to be hilarious. By the way. This,
this huff and rants that all of a sudden got all this attention.
So into it. And by the way, this happens at the exact same
moment, President Obama presented his budget, which I
think is convenient or coincidental at best. Like, hey,
yeah, here's my budget. Oh, look at Abby Martin.
That was Jeffrey summers, associate professor of political
economy at the University of Wisconsin. Before we wrap up the
show, I wanted to say something from my heart about the ongoing
political,
I want to say from my heart, it's really from the prompter,
but it's from my heart. She was reading it from the prompter. No
doubt about this from my heart
ISIS in Ukraine and Russia's military occupation of command.
Just because I work here for RT doesn't mean I don't have
editorial independence, and I can't stress enough how strongly
I am against any state intervention in a sovereign
nations affairs
What does that even mean how strongly I am that she did she
mean to say how strongly against I am I am again? No, she messed
it up. She missed. Miss read the prompter.
Before we wrap up the show. I wanted to say something from my
heart about the ongoing political crisis in Ukraine and
Russia's military occupation of command. Just because I work
here for RT doesn't mean I don't have editorial independence, and
I can't stress enough how strongly I am against any state
intervention in a sovereign nation. I'm against
how strong strongly I feel
from the prompter how strongly I am
a writer Yeah,
what Russia did was wrong. I admittedly don't know as much as
I should about Ukraine. You
don't want it what does she say? She doesn't know anything. Yes,
what Russia did is wrong. I don't know anything about it
but correct. You are awesome. Yeah. speaking truth to power
John.
By the time I did that story, the
truth the power
people the region, but what I do know is that
military intervention, I don't know much about nothing but what
I do know and
is never the answer. And I will not sit here and apologise or
defend military aggression. Furthermore, the coverage I've
seen of Ukraine has been truly disappointing from all sides of
the media spectrum and rife with disinformation above all my
life is disinformation it's right right talks like that from
the heart I don't talk like that from the heart
this information are we talking about just it's all
disinformation
well that is true
out to the Ukrainian people who are now Western Ukraine because
you're in the middle of a global power chess game they're the
real losers here. Now is hoped for a peaceful outcome for
terrible situation terrible another full blown Cold War
between multiple super partisan
when this happens like this and I've thought quite a bit and I
have a bigger problem with the Miss Liz wall who apparently are
only other gig was at CNN. I guess she was a producer it's
not like she did she's just graduated from college. Yeah, in
Virginia I might add so these she went to Virginia to some
Virginia School The so okay. This is this that's why I said
MK Ultra. Why else are these chicks doing this? Oh, oh,
something Oh, I
have to talk from the heart. It's a I'm
preaching and they are they're talking heads on a show on on a
small very
well, they are the division they are the disinformation that's
what's obvious. Yeah. Because who gives
us not impressed?
Well, I was very impressed. Twitter's
went crazy. Oh, good for you, Abby. Yes,
speaking truth to power. Now hit let's do the Liz wall thing. I
thought that was much more interesting. Mainly because of
what happened after her little spiel.
Last night our teammate international headlines and one
of our anchors went on the record and said of Russian
intervention in Crimea is wrong.
She didn't actually say that but listen to this girls. She didn't
say that. But listen to this girl's speech patterns are very
interesting. And she's listed as a producer. I have you ever seen
her on air ever?
Yeah, no, I see her all the time. Okay. I mean, anchor Oh,
okay. Oh, by the way, the new emoji over Yeah, complete
goofball.
Great. And indeed, as a reporter on this network, I faced many
ethical and moral challenges, especially me personally coming
from a family.
Listen, if you're working with this outfit, this RT fin, which
has a studio in DC, they might have a Skype booth in New York,
and a lot of producers in Moscow. And someone comes along
and says, Hey, what do you make it at that outfit? And believe
me if these girls are making more than $100,000 a year for
you nuts? Yeah, nothing getting close to that. I think they're
making 100. No, you should be making less than 100. Yeah. All
right. So all you have to do is come along and say, Listen, I
got MSNBC, or did there's gonna be some good maybe, maybe this
girl can go back to CNN, where she came from. It's not hard to
get it. First of all, it's true. Obviously, we know our T is in
propaganda. But for this all of a sudden happens,
once you go to RT in the first place. If you didn't know you're
taking part in a propaganda stick operation. Yeah.
And I think Abby should resign. She didn't get the right deal.
You see. She didn't get a deal.
Oh, Abby, I'm sure she's getting nothing. She got no deal.
She didn't she did. She did did it all wrong. This girl did it.
Right.
whose grandparents, my grandparents came here as
refugees during the Hungarian Revolution, ironically, to
escape the Soviet forces. I have family on the opposite side, on
my mother's side, that sees the daily grind of poverty. And I'm
very lucky to have grown up here in the United States. I'm the
daughter of a veteran. My partner is a physician
at this point, at this point, I'm like, oh, at least he's a
lesbian that's kind of hot, but no
at a military base, where he sees every day, firsthand
accounts of the ultimate prices that people pay.
What does this have to do with anything I really didn't
understand this part about my partner is the doctor and sees
the ultimate price. So you see dead people that the ultimate
price, you know, I
was stunned by this myself. she I think she was trying to I hate
to use this term. And this set in this manner with her, trying
to paint a picture, that she's lives that there's a life that,
you know, she's she's she's part of a bigger thing. And these
things go on these. And she's trying to, you know, give you
the sense that there's a rationale for what she's about
to do
for this country. And that is why personally I cannot be a
part of network funded by the Russian government that
whitewashes the actions of Putin.
Putin. I love that that's so sexy. She says when she says
Putin, Putin, Putin, Putin
was pulling the actions of Putin, Putin. No, she's just
proven. He's cool as Putin like kit. 10. No, she
does not pronounce the T she says poo and like pooping.
Just play it again and listen for the porn,
that whitewashes the actions of poo.
Poo. Poo poo and she's proven, proven. Proven.
I'm proud to be an American and believe in disseminating the
truth. And that is why after this newscast, I'm resigning
speaking truth to power higher outstanding Okay, so here's
where it all here's what all fell apart from me so I'm at
this point I'm like, okay, I get it. But then she the first
interview she does is with Anderson Cooper. Now Cooper is
in Crimea. Now you know that when something set up? You know,
Cooper is on the scene. We got boots on the poop are on the on
the ground? Do you remember it was Tahir square the first time
around? No, he's he's always there when it when it's
when it's an operation man on him. He's in Haiti using Haiti.
Yeah, but
only when it's an OP, that he didn't go to talk to your square
the second or the third time. He wasn't on the Euro Minden but
nowhere to be found. He's not in the process in France worth
hundreds of dollars in assets for CNN, but well,
maybe even 10s of 1000s of dollars. Nice. So then he gets
he gets Liz wall on now. Here's the thing that bothered me.
She's there. That's a split screen. And she's wearing the
same outfit that she quit in. And the background the green
screen, it's the same shot it has the arty background still
rotating. This is where this confused me very much. I'm still
not sure that's interesting. I'm still not sure why are you
telling me she quits on the air? And Artie says, Yeah, you can
use our studio to do an interview with Cooper No
problem. Hey, I just keep those clothes on don't move the
lighting is perfect. So that that is i What? How can that
that makes no sense
either had to do it before she quit.
Yeah, but it was in the art it was on the RT set. So they would
have known there's no way this was this was not a Skype
interview she was in the studio with the Archie, fake Yes, of
course it's a fake. So here's parts of this, this interview.
Here's us with pooper talking about the the Putin perspective.
And what's clear is what's happening right now amid this
crisis is that RT is not about the truth. It's about promoting
a Kunis agenda and I can pull Ernest
pulling this to congenita. This girl is I think she's a
presidential model in the MK Ultra programme. Because she has
a little speech thing going on Putin is Putin is the agenda
is not about the truth. It's about promoting a poor earnest
agenda, and I can tell you firsthand, it's also about
bashing America. And I kind of cited some of my background of
where I came from and why I am proud to be an American.
She's Filipino. She's just like a whole mix of stuff. She looks
more Filipino, the girl of the future.
In recent days, I've been suffering from a lot of
cognitive dissonance
cognitive deciphering from cognitive dissonance, I
felt interesting and felt that I could no longer work here and,
and, and go on television and tell the American people that
this is what's happening. And how it poses news. It's just
something I don't want to bring.
This is one this is Wag the Dog John, I think this is so much
bigger than we realise and the giveaway was her in the same
clothes on the same set with the same lighting doing this
interview with Good catch. It's wagging the dog the whole thing
is a
setup. Yeah, Liz I just wanted to ask what is oh this
is fine did not now they bring in who's also there with the
with Cooper in Crimea, what's the girls under the woman's
name? She's the the short blonde hair she's she's some expert in
something I don't that I forgot I forgot anyways. So listen to
this. This is where the MK Ultra presidential model starts to
speak and answer questions
is happening right now with you have there been repercussions?
And how is our t going to explain this? Because there was
a previous woman who previous women have said some things
about the conflict Abby Martin.
Yes, thank you, Anderson for prompting me I'd forget.
And Artie said, Look, all our anchors can express their views
freely. Have you had any reaction from the management?
Well, seeing as I'm sitting in the same set with the same
background, the same lighting and same outfit? No.
Everything's peachy keen.
Well, it's all happening very quickly. This happened just a
couple hours ago. I haven't seen the official response I kind of
saw on Twitter before I went on today that they said that I'm
doing this as for personal gain, which is couldn't be farther
from the truth. I actually hesitated to speak on this for a
while for fear of repercussion
avoid they'll get to beat you up. What does that mean? I was
afraid of repercussions. I was afraid.
So I don't know. If how they intend to retaliate against me
or what actions are going to be taken against me. I can say that
it's comforting that on social media, I've gotten an explosive
response Really? Really?
She's She's that's why they had to get rid of her. It was our No
it's our T Welcome to our E No, it's our T to T T. Welcome to
our E No, it's T she can't say team like kitten Putin Putin
appreciating me coming forward with this so that's been
comforting for me in terms of
social media was so comforting if that's not an MK Ultra than I
don't know what is I was so comforted
at my all my Twitter and Facebook friends and all like
me. Yes,
I'm so I'm feel so comforted. So comforted by this. And now she's
going to explain this hit the switch on the ground. There are
Americans
who work there and it kind of builds itself as questioning
authority, which is, is clearly their marketing strategy, but
it's Oh, yes. Okay, it's management. Are they Russian?
Management is Russia. Yes, middle management. They are
American and their role is to make sure it's kind of part of
that segment censorship role to make sure we're in line to make
sure ultimately the narrative that the Russia and the you
know, the guy is calling the shots ultimately, we're based in
Moscow.
Doesn't happen on ABC. by
the Russian government they kind of make sure that the narrative
is is delivered
the narrative is delivered wow really this big surprise
delivered
one way or another so oh
yeah I found that the whole thing to be disturbing and it
is, it is clearly a setup from it is so obvious. You did this
you do not you're in the CNN studio maybe you've you've got
your jeans on she says the red dress on.
So this is wag the dog. You caught something this is this is
wag. Its wag the dog, and it was within
a couple of hours. She even admitted that. It wasn't as
though so here you go, you're on. Nobody's watching this this
network by the way, except
we're watching and a bunch of 911 truthers.
Yeah, there's a bunch of there's people that watch, but they're
like us. Yeah. And even our listeners wouldn't watch this
stuff. Now it's
unwatchable. Most of it is unwatchable, we got a bunch of
experts on Skype for 15 minutes for a segment. Ah,
so she quits. And then within a couple of hours, she said right
there that just just quit a couple hours ago. She's on CNN,
you know what, though it you know, the booking process for
these shows. And once in a while you get a guy. Hey, we've got
breaking news. And we'd like to get you on the next segment. Can
you are you available? Sometimes it does happen. But I don't know
that anyone has her phone number. They needed to call a
studio.
I think it's the same studio, it couldn't be possible that our
tea is shot out of CNN studios, by any chance,
look like it whatever the case is. This was rigged.
Totally. Actually, this is the first clip in the segment. I
don't know why I moved to the fifth, it must be a reason.
Today, for example, I had an interview with Ron Paul. Oh,
yeah,
this is good. Now she's gonna talk about why she did it and
how the truth is, RP is censored from
me, Ron Paul's on our team constantly. Yeah.
The only question that I asked i or i asked many questions I
asked about the Russian intervention. You know, he has a
very anti intervention approach. I asked him in the wake of
escalation by the Russian military, how long? You know,
how should we respond to this? How should the US respond to
this? And
sounds like you answered, asked a really dumb question long and
drawn out that made no sense
that question was cut out the interview. Oh, no, there was
another segment today. It was that
she's looking through her notes right now she's shuffling
through the notes on her desk at the RT set
News Package from one of our correspondents that painted the
opposition over there in the Ukraine as
now she's even saying though Ukraine she's so flustered
because you've got to say Ukraine
having neo Nazi elements and I think that's very dangerous when
you have a new government instability over there and and
I'm sure that there are in fact, neo Nazi elements, but to
portray the entire opposition as being part of this right wing
extremist group is going along with the narrative that Vladimir
Putin
now this is very important because and I love when this
happens, and I think I thank God, I really do and I thank my
wife. I'm not sure who's more powerful that I have the
opportunity to spend days on end watching all this crap and then
and then God allows these things to connect in my head. She just
said them okay. All right. All right. All right. Screw
them all right. All
right. All right.
She what she just what she just said, is is very dangerous to
call the opposition Neo Nazis and anti Semites. She made a big
deal about this being a very huge problem that this is being
broadcast. Funny enough. I'm watching broth and Christiana
Amanpour, who is completely all in on whatever programme she's
being paid for, with some other douche nickel. And the following
happens. Excellent conversation. Professor Cohen, Christiane
Amanpour. Thanks very much. And
on that last point, you heard Vitaly Churkin, the Russian
ambassador to the UN Security Council saying earlier today
that at fault for all of this are what he called fascist and
anti Semites in Ukraine right now
activated would have been really careful putting that up. Ross as
as a fact, that's what he told me. He may have done. That's
what he said is the Russian position he may have. That's
what I was telling me. Are you saying that the entire pro
European Ukrainians are anti?
Let me tell you, there's a couple of things you do and you
don't do in the in the business. I don't care who you are. You do
not argue with broth. First of all, you just don't. Why would
you be? Yeah. And he's in the middle box.
You're right. She was activated.
She was activated to say the same thing. The message is
clear. The message is the odd the opposition are not anti
Semites and radicals, they are not Neo Nazis, please let all
the public know you must tell them where that
is saying what the Russians is.
Professor can make it a big deal about it. And I was
just pointing out that a Russian official at the United Nations
today said What's it what who's responsible for all of this
fascist and anti Semites in Ukraine? Am I saying that? No,
not.
Now. He's going to try and explain the news business to us.
This is really this is insane. This is
what this says to me is that it's apparently a bunch of Nazis
and fascist and anti Semites that have taken over the play.
Yes, because why else would you make such a fuss about all this?
Well
witness the call between the High Representative nor chin
monster having bearish Astra and the Estonian foreign minister
pate. I got this I got this whole call. But I'll jump right
to the goodies here. By the way, this call which is has somehow
was released through trade craft. I have to say kidding. I
love it. Because this time, they didn't just have the call. They
isolated they have left and right channels. So they've got
Ashton on the left channel. Oh, that's sweet. It's beautiful.
It's that's tradecraft right there, ladies and gentlemen,
they even isodecyl for us. So we could, we could have our own
conversation. We could put our own questions in if we want it.
But here's here's the relevant passage. And
then second, what was quite disturbing, the same older told
that well, old evidence shows that people who were killed by
snipers from both sides among policemen and people from the
streets, that they were the same snipers feeling people from both
sides. Yeah.
Well, that's Yeah, yeah, we know. We know. Yeah, that's as
if you couldn't understand it. What he said is, people are now
figuring out that the new opposition had snipers killing
people on both sides. Yeah,
they tried to start to start a riot. Yeah. And a cop and you
shoot one of the good guys well, they shot
they shot all the Barracuda which is the the riot police in
the head like sniper shots to the head. These guys just went
down like little tin soldiers. And here's bareness acid going,
Yeah, well, yeah, well, what but
that shows the people who were killed by snipers from both
sides among policemen and people from the streets that they were
the same snipers healing people from both sides. Yeah. And then
she also showed me some photos she said that has medical
doctors she can you know say that it is the same same
handwriting, the same type of bullets, and it's really
disturbing that now the new new coalition that they don't want
to investigate
so besides Obama's sorry as budget being sent to Congress, I
think that this call needed to be covered up and we needed to
shout very loudly. Whatever you hear there's no Neo Nazis no
snipers no killing no targeted no Wag the Dog No nothing no
nothing no nothing. Because this is not getting a lot of play.
This is certainly not getting the kind of FTE you play that
Nudelman got
well especially if you go to ABC and some of these networks that
have essentially that I have a package of three pieces from ABC
which is their coverage with your friend I think she was
sober
Oh Diane Do it Do we do we need to play the jingle just in case?
Well, sure. And which which is it the ABC was laughable?
Ukraine rundown and rundown part two and three. Okay, I will put
this to lament that my favourite one is part three you're gonna
just die. What do you want to play three first. No, no, no.
It's actually built in order. Again, thanks, I'm
dialled.
Ukraine, Crimea and an international tug of war.
Raddatz is travelling with the Secretary of State and she is
standing by and ABCs chief foreign correspondent Terry
Moran is also On the story tonight starting us off with the
latest on that crisis in Ukraine.
At Belviq airbase here, the sound of Korean troops marched
toward the Russian guns as they marched, they sang their
national anthem.
So they're gonna lead off this this piece, which is long, and I
actually cut some of it out, but they lead off this piece showing
the Russians have according to I didn't know this. There's
another report that discusses it. The Russians by Ukrainian
law are allowed to have 11,000 soldiers. I thought it was
25,000 I thought it was 11 Or maybe it was 25 now but they're
gonna try to limit to a level but there's lots Yeah, and those
are the guys that suppose the invaded even though they're
already there. And so they have this scene which I swear to you
it was all the sounds in the back and this guy is saying a
bunch of drunken Ukrainians with no weapons marching in like a
like a squad coming down. And they're going to confront the
Russians who just drive them off with a few shots to the air. And
the way they present this is that the the way ABC presents
this, this is a show of the great Ukraine people and they
heads held high and they showed the Russians and it's it's
idiotic. It's idiotic to play.
Confronting the Russians who had seized control of their base.
Under the Ukrainian flag they the Russians yell fire warning
shots, but the first shots fired here. Then negotiations and the
Ukrainians withdrew heads held high was a day of high tension.
Russia test launching an ICBM like this one, a scheduled
launch but still a statement. Mr. Kerry welcome Ukrainian
Ukrainian capital 500 miles away. Secretary of State Kerry
walked the streets were scores of Ukrainians died in protests
last month, then praised the revolution.
What they stood for so bravely, I say with full conviction will
never be stolen by bullets or by invasions. That is called
freedom. You know, we gave the Oscar to the wrong guy is just
misguide
his gut just fight against us in the back. And by the way, they
show the missile and they say an ICBM launch like this one. They
show some random B
didn't say file footage. No, I'm not. That's, I'll just I'm gonna
jump right back to your clip. Andrea Mitchell. And this is all
elitist. These people are all actors. They're all put in this
this game to this. If you have not seen wag the dog you need to
see it. And we need to find out who's who's directing who
actually who's producing this one. So Andrea Mitchell, she
apparently turns up in Kyiv. She could you know, and even though
she's a multimillionaire married to Ben Bernanke. Now she's there
to to play along the script. She's
not married to Bernanke. She's married to
I'm sorry, Greenspan. Yeah, better. Better, I'm sorry,
Greenspan, if the guy's even alive. And she's and she
literally has the script and carries making faces, just like
his acting coach taught him.
Thank you very much, Mr. Secretary. US officials have
been saying that Vladimir Putin will be isolated by his actions
yesterday. He seemed defiant. Speaking for an hour taking
questions. He said, among other things, that Russia reserves the
right to take any action to use any means, obviously, military
means he described events here as an unconstitutional coup. He
denied that there were any Russian troops in Crimea
occupying Crimea. He blamed the crisis on United States
interference saying that the US
denied their troops in Crimea. Why? He really does need to know
I have the the news conference what Kerry didn't get a briefing
about what he said. Even I got a briefing from Russian producers
of this programme. He said yeah, that's this is a fair
translation of what he said. And Carrie surprised by this. No,
no, this is seen 35 key press conference. Fade In front black.
Yes, you did.
On the United States,
lurch. All right.
My favourite by way of defence. We're gonna do it. This is a
shaggy dog. Yeah, yeah, I
got it. I got an end to this, by the way.
John Kerry. Another ironic comment. I think this is the
best.
It is not appropriate to invade a country at the end of a barrel
of a gun. A dictate what you are trying
to achieve. Hold on a second. It's this one.
You just don't invade another country on phoney pretext in
order to assert your interests. Well, but what are our ways?
There are ways
unless you're America and you're doing it for Iraq, or Iran or
something like that. So this is the script is playing out over
multiple channels. The same thing over and over again,
dynamite.
It's, I have to say it's a big one. And by the way, this is
being run by the State Department. I did a little
research on Nudelman I'm sorry Victoria Nuland. And so Victoria
Nudelman is a real name she changed it to Newland and of
course we understand I mean, wants to be laughed at me.
Nudelman wants to be neutral. No offence
to that when Nudelman that listens to the show.
She of course, famously, was at the my dad handed handing out
cookies or pretzels or whatever she was handing out. Then of
course, we had the phone call we had the script she was handing
out per diems. All right, here's a who's an extra All right,
here's your party i You sag eligible, Oh, that's too bad.
Well, you do still get a per diem. Now she is married to
Robert Kagan, Robert Kagan, one of the actually one of the
cofounders of the Project for the New American Century. These
are the guys who said we need a new Pearl Harbour and then 911
happened. And these are the guys who talked about all these
countries we need to go in and destabilise what's interesting
which I realised verbalise is his brother is Frederick Kagan.
This is the guy this is the guy. He has a PhD in Russian and
Soviet military history. Of course, both these boys are from
Yale, of course, they're Scotland bones just like carry
his father Donald Kagan professor at Yale Fellow at the
Hudson Institute. He authored the real Iraq Study Group. The
consultant for Baker wrote the choosing victory a plan for
success in Iraq. He influenced George W. Bush, this these are
the Neo cons. He consulted for Robert Gates, Petraeus. These
are the guys and their their henchmen. Nudelman you went out
and started doing the business. The Neo cons have taken over the
State Department. And as witnessed, I think this was a
complete surprise, as we discussed in the last show, to
the president who's like what
he's always in a chair sitting down answering random questions.
He has a whole different agenda
to hell. Yeah. Well, I don't know. Yeah, he
has a complete in fact, it's making him look really stupid.
I'm
gonna Romney. I'm glad that you recognise that al Qaeda is a
threat. Because a few months ago, when you were asked what's
the biggest geopolitical threat facing America, you said Russia,
that al Qaeda, you said Russia, in the 1980s are now calling to
ask for their foreign policy back.
Oh,
so it's making him look stupid because he wasn't prepared for
Russia. But he's also he also he's like a big player. He's got
no parts. He's got no he's got no lines. Right. They
forgot his script for him. I'm sorry, Mr. President. We left
you on the cutting room floor.
Not even it wasn't even cast. Yes, it was barely cast. It was
not his episode. I agent. Get my get my agent on the phone. I'm
being screwed on this deal.
So laughable rundown, part two.
All right, here we go. In Moscow, Vladimir Putin offered a
different version a different reality in an extraordinary
apparent reality. The new Ukrainian government could feel
legitimate and he said us support for it was like running
experiments on rats. And the US, he said must stop encouraging
what he called illegal change in the territory of the former
Soviet Union. The Soviet Union shaped Putin, a loyal KGB
officer. 15 years is what I
love the doll doll doll doll from a Laney rufen style is
puking in her graves. And what are you guys doing? You're doing
a picture of Putin. I don't even know if it was Putin. Big lip.
Da da da.
Skew skew was like back then a colossus and this is how it
shrunk when the Soviet Union collapsed, which Putin called
the greatest catastrophe of the century. His worldview shaped by
the loss of an empire. He was born
in a large Soviet space that encompassed a huge part of the
Earth's landmass that still called themselves Soviet, by
which they mostly meant Russian.
President Obama said today that Putin quote isn't fooling
anybody but Putin is less interested in winning arguments
than He is in shaping history. And with 1000s of troops on the
ground and in control here in Crimea. Now. He is doing just
that.
I mean, we could die and we could we could play the bull
crap clips all day long it is. And by the way, people stop
sending me clips from NPR with analysis and never we're not
going to use it whenever ever because it's all of this the
analysis everything. It's all bull crap. And the beauty of it
is the beauty and God I think ABC and Disney these guys are
they there they are Skull and Bones, because they know the
American public in particular, but anyone who enjoys American
product, and we have some outstanding product I will tell
you when it comes to Hollywood, just gonna look at tell me that
every bad guy has a Russian accent. It was always the East
Bloc countries who are plotting to do crap and lo and behold,
just in time for all of this craziness, we have the new
Muppets movie. The World's Greatest
criminal has stolen the greatest treasures the greatest prisoners
and he bears a strong resemblance to someone you know
it's not easy being me it's constantly Constantine the
world's most dangerous project this out Constantine Yeah. Going
to be here a while.
Oh, Kermit the Frog here here. So it's all Russian. And you've
got all of Hollywood in this movie speaking with with Russian
KGB accents. Yes, it's Tina Fey who you're hearing Frog here and
now you guys have all the I am kid. I don't like Boo in freedom
you want when do I do the
indoor running of the bulls? Watch
my man we'll go down in history is great this thief of all time,
right? You can go watch the trailer.
Yes, boris and Natasha all over it. Yes. So we're getting into
this last part of this triad because which is an interesting
term in itself. Because now they this is what happens. I gotta
set this up Diane's talking to her girl in Europe. And she you
first you think she must be in the in, in Ukraine because or
Crimea, because that's what they're talking about. But you
keep looking at this at the shot. And it's, you see, I
didn't I really don't think they have a copy of The Arc de
Triomphe in Kyiv in key and so you realise that she's in Paris
and she says she's in Paris eventually but then you What is
she doing in Paris? And by the way, why are they having all
these meetings they have a meeting about about the
situation in Ukraine and they have it in Paris Well, meeting
about some other Hello area
well hello Paris. Hello.
Why are they having a Paris How about why don't you have to go
all the way to Paris constantly
Don't you like the wine don't you'd like Pierre the
hairdresser to work on you? Don't you just love the trainees
on the shops at least a Come on.
You know the thing about especially these foreign
correspondents in Paris that they can't afford even with
their high salaries and a lot of them get they don't get anchor
money but they get really substantial money but still not
enough just to Galavan around Paris on somebody else's dime.
That's the way to go. Yeah, but isn't a good time in Paris. So
she But anyway, this woman decides to editorialise and just
give it to give it to Putin. Before you do that. We should
probably at least a little side clip. John McCain on Putin.
Putin. Putin,
you better say it right. Putin.
Vladimir Putin is an old KGB Colonel bent on restoration of
the Soviet of the Russian Empire. This President believes
the Cold War was over. Vladimir Putin doesn't believe that the
Cold War is over
he doesn't believe the Cold War is over no we're resurrecting it
good AdMob is moving out quick now dammit it's time oh that's
all toggle it is boris and Natasha is
laughable report parts right now.
So Martha give it to a straight is the poster. Don't Don't lie
to us.
Martha, tell us the truth.
Now conflict with Russia tonight are not
Vladimir Putin. The bully Vladimir Putin may already have
God wants Crimea. So it's very possible he will push any
further. This is a way that man negotiate is a boy he is
Hammerhead bully. This is how we this is
how He's a bully. He does not go in with the stormtroopers and
anti Semites and all kinds of crazy sharpshooters to kill
people. Now he's a bully
operates, but they're going to be meetings. They are
negotiating. There are negotiations going on tomorrow,
Secretary Kerry will be meeting with the Russian foreign
minister here in Paris, Secretary Kerry really wants to
get this settled as soon as possible so
that they can the United States let Russia keep Crimea this way.
You know, a simple answer to that. Is Europe gonna go to war
over Crimea, the United States certainly won't. So that may
well happen.
Alright, so so for those who, of course, today, the news came out
that Crimea has said they want allegiance with Russia, and they
are going to have accelerate some referendum on March 15.
It's all it doesn't matter. This is not about that.
There's this point here, you're missing and I think this does
matter. And I have clips to back this up. And the guy that they
kept talking about this guy, Stephen, Stephen Cohen was a
professor at Princeton and NYU is
the guy who was on with broth and he was on with Brock, but he
he came
on the NewsHour with Gwen, and essentially blew her out of the
water, because she had two stooges from the government and
talking about how great Obama is, of course, that's what she
you know, she wrote the book on Obama, literally, she's the
hagiography hagiography, and he comes in and just says, Obama is
an idiot. And then Putin is doing this and that and it's
very interesting. Because the one thing that nobody brought up
and we did get it from one of our producers, man mentioned his
name if I can find the front of his email, he sent a very long
note. It's very educational. Vitaly. Oh, yes. Yes. Italie.
So, Pedro Pedro Villafane, is that in?
No, no, no, no, no, no, I gotta go back. Alright. It's
boats Villa funny
cats in like, shorts nails. I
didn't mean I didn't mean to slow you down. Let's rock on one
of our many
rock on. Yeah, one of our many Broda about a five page thing
about the situation. And then he made this wonderful thing at the
very end, which I thought was actually part of. And the reason
I would I just clips to play to back this up. And one of them is
this is this Cohen guy who says this all began 20 years ago with
with Clinton, who kept pushing and pushing pushing NATO further
toward Russia. And it's never stopped and Russia is getting a
little sick of it. And the last thing they want is, and this
gets talked about, you have to admit NATO, Ukraine, Ukraine
being part of NATO.
Yeah, they with the security agreement as a part of the
Association Agreement.
So he came up with this little analysis, I think he has all to
do with the Crimean situation. Finally, as a bonus to Russia,
Ukraine may become ineligible to join NATO, as the charter
prohibits new members that have ongoing territorial disputes,
you have to have that resolved, otherwise, you can't join. So
all Putin
has to do, but he may be playing a three dimensional game, he
says with the rest of the world, still still learning checkers,
or perhaps he's just a egomaniac, but I think that this
is the whole play is to destabilise I mean that let the
thing played out again, and it didn't work out for him in the
in Ukraine. But if he gets this thing in Crimea, just enough
that there's a debate going on, that can't shouldn't be
resolved, he's not going to want to take over. That's why he's
not going to send him a
hold on it. Hold on a second. I need to back up for a moment
because I have a different view on this. And the Crimean thing.
It's just another stage, it doesn't really the only thing
that matters, that maybe the US would not like is the fact that
the Russian weapons going to Egypt or being transported by
Crimea. That's the only thing that maybe they wouldn't like,
there's no, there's no gas there. There's no oil, if
there's no, there's nothing there of any importance,
but the Russians aren't going to they're not going to let this
thing they're gonna let this linger. They're not going to
step back, step back from it. I want it why did this happen?
First, we all agree. This was the neocon State Department
which carry Nudelman Skull and Bones who set this up? Fuck the
EU. They made it happen. Why?
To very, to follow the thing that started 20 years ago, push
NATO into Ukraine.
That's the only reason there's no money although there's also
oil and gas that's what I want to go but I want you to finish
the NATO thing. That's it.
Just my prediction for the Red Book. Nothing is going to come
of this this. This Crimea thing, they're gonna vote the sosi
they're gonna have a local vote to associate With Russia is
going to be a point of controversy that is going to
linger forever. Yes. And that will keep NATO from coming in
because that they'd be a violation of their own rules.
Alright, and that's all Putin really does. And he doesn't want
these guys. In fact, if you listen to these other clips
Cohen's the best one at this, if you want to listen to some guy
whose analysis I think is right on the money that nobody, you
know, they, they poopoo the whole game, they poopoo the guy,
place, quote, Stephen Cohen, part one, what,
why are why are we in this position tonight? Professor
Cohen, what is Putin's
doing here?
I don't know where to begin, because I've just listened to
two statements of the official American position, the position
about where we are today and how we got here, I think they're
fundamentally wrong. What we're watching today is the worst kind
of history being made. The dissent of a new Cold War divide
between Western East and Europe, this time, not in faraway
Berlin, but right on Russia's borders through Ukraine, that
will be instability and the prospect of war for decades to
come for our kids and our grandchildren. The official
version is that Putin is to blame. He did this. But it
simply isn't true. This began 20 years ago, when Clinton began
the movement of NATO toward Russia, a movement that's
continued. And even if we just go back to this November, just a
few months ago, when the protesters came into the streets
in Ukraine, Putin said to the Europe and the Washington, Why
are you forcing Ukraine to choose between Russia in Europe,
we're prepared with Europe to do a kind of mini Marshall Plan to
bail Ukraine out, let's do it together. And that was refused
by Washington and Brussels. And that refusal led to the
situation today. And then last point, the worst the worst
outcome you asked Michael, and he didn't say but he said what
he didn't want the worst outcome because we hear this clamour in
Washington, and we heard it in Europe is a movement in response
to what Putin has done in Crimea to move NATO forces to the poor
Polish Ukrainian border. We do that Putin will certainly bring
troops in from Russia itself. The troops in Crimea seem to be
troops that were based at the Naval Base, not the troops. I'm
not sure and then you will have a real confrontation.
i This guy needs to be eliminated from the airwaves
he's making way too much sense. This is this this is back on No,
no, no, this he is He that's now we cannot have him on the air
talking sense like this. This is I agree with this. However, I've
been tracking this guy Carlos Pasco, Carlos Paz Squall, into
truth, I think 2012 or 2012. By 11. By Lucifer clippity, clop,
Hillary Clinton was put in place in charge of the State
Department's Bureau of Energy Resources. And this is a this is
a this is an 8595 people. This is a pretty, pretty good little
operation funded, it's funded. He's in he's good to go. At the
New York Times today, purely by accident, I'm sure posted an
article which actually was yesterday I see now, which makes
so much sense to me and is everything we've been talking
about. If you are at least for from the energy standpoint, so
we know that there's this huge debt that that Ukraine has to
Gazprom they can't pay for this is how it all started. Putin
said You know, I'll cut your rates you know, we'll we'll make
it okay, we can work out a deal 15 15 billion, which by the way
now magically has been matched. How how pathetic is that? That
we actually we matched it with the EU, 1 billion for the US 14
billion from the EU, which is not a done deal but the news is
out there all over just so you know, it's not about money or
anything we will match it will make it all good. Of course,
what happens with the what is really going to happen to the
Ukrainian people will be quite sad will be like Greece. But the
New York Times they liked their their articles so much, which
I'll read from in a moment. They even did a one minute video
about it. This is a new thing with the times when they like
what they're doing. They post a video when there's a little bit
of budget for it.
The importance of natural gas for Russia and Ukraine. Both
countries have points of leverage and the US roll this
morning on the New York Times minute, Russian gas giant
Gazprom announced the cancellation Tuesday of a
natural gas discount to Ukraine, which will further hit the shaky
economy. Ukraine is laced with pipelines and 63% of all Russian
gas exports pass through Ukraine to get to Europe. But to be
clear, both countries have a lot of leverage in the situation.
The Russians can turn off the guys to Ukraine, but the
Ukrainians can turn off the guys to Europe at which point in time
Everybody starts losing
historically, that's when a deal gets struck. So it's a kind of
neutral blackmail, engaging going forward. The United States
is jockeying for position, US diplomats see the crisis as an
opportunity to weaken Russia's ability to use natural gas as a
weapon. The US is hoping to increase its own exports to
Europe weaning the continent off of Russia down the road.
So Carol korell, Davenport, and Steven Erlanger wrote this
piece, and I think it's really good. They got some information
in here, which I have not read anywhere else. And I'm
wondering, but we know that the timing right now was very weird,
because we have EU elections coming up in May, in order to
export our gas under a trade agreement to Europe, which is
what I've been looking at the TTIP that would have to be in
place, it looks like we've messed that all up, and Obama
clearly can't get it done. He's not even talking about it
anymore. There's way too much pushback on the whole idea, but
we need to get our gas out. It's the only thing and that's what
Hillary Clinton saw and what she's set this organisation up
or from The Times article. The crisis has escalated a State
Department initiative to use a new boom in American natural gas
supplies as a lever against Russia, which supplies 60% of
Ukraine's natural gas and has a history of cutting off the
supply. During conflicts this week, Gazprom, Russia's state
run natural gas company said would no longer provide gas at a
discounted rate. The administration strategy to move
aggressively to deploy the advantages of its new resources
to undercut Russian natural gas sales to Ukraine and Europe
weaken such moves by Mr. Putin in future years, although Russia
is still the world's biggest exporter of natural gas, the
United States recently surpassed it to become the world's largest
natural gas producer, largely because of fracking, obviously.
But Russia energy supplies are as important so they go into the
pipeline saying here. David Dalton, editor of The Economist
Intelligence Unit says Russia has always used gas as an
instrument of influence. The more you owe Gazprom, the more
they think that you can turn the screws. Now this time, there's a
major difference according to the Times, as recently as 2007,
American natural gas supplies are believed to be dwindling,
blah, blah, blah, we know it's much more, they are setting up
now. And in this year of action, John, I'm going to put in the
Red Book, the following since the President came out today
with his executive order, which essentially is if you're
Russian, and we don't like how you smell, we're taking away
your money, we're not letting you travel in or out of the
country. That's essentially what the EO says. In I predict, in
this year of action, he's going to take his pen. And he's going
to create an executive order that allows for emergency
exports of gas to Europe because of the Ukrainian crisis. And I
think that has always been one of the end games for the Neo
cons running this thing. And of course, war is great to have and
get the NATO stuff. And because we need to sell more stuff.
There's a couple of things that are variables here I want to
mention. One is the American petrochemical companies do not
like any of this.
Well, Dow Chemical and DuPont, they like the very, very cheap
gas to make their products. I totally agree. And they
don't and they know if gas starts finding new markets for
this cheap gas, natural gas is extremely inexpensive. Yes,
there's cheap gas that they make plastic from plastics are
largely made from gas and all these other crazy things that
DuPont and Dow would make. They don't like the idea of double
having to pay twice as much for their natural, the raw
materials, and they're there. And they have lots of lobbyists.
And they're the ones that are pushing back on a lot of this to
keep it from happening. So we have to keep that in mind.
However, another thing, I had a report from the economic hitman
who's back from Africa, good, good, good. And he his his
friend is a we don't know. And he doesn't say but she's an
agent for that little defence, the State Department State
Department's intelligence agency. And she it apparently,
from what I can ascertain, besides working 18 hours a day
over something that has to do with Ukraine. There's missing
pieces of information that we don't know about. But this is
the little thing that got my attention. She admitted that no
one in the intelligence world and which is part of every and
this. This is really stopped me in my tracks because this makes
no sense to me, since I believe the two of us knew this. She
admitted that no one in the intelligence world ever imagined
that Putin would be crazy enough to annex Crimea. They are now
preparing for the congressional hearings which are about to take
place to determine how the USA aka Obama misread how Putin was
going to react to the crisis in Ukraine. Hmm. I find that
peculiar.
Well, it sounds to me like the State Department has had without
a script for everyone to go scurry after cheating, she must
know what the real deal is. And anything to make Obama look
stupid and put and checkmate him put them off to the side to to
to cripple him
is great. Well, now with the latest with your thesis, which
I'm not adverse to, which does that Carrie was actually the
wrong guy to put in there because he brought with him his
neocon buddies. Who are you know, Neo liberals Neo cons, the
same thing? It's this group of people that are all
these are the people who got us into Iraq. The same people that
want a
one world government they did this is Clinton,
Clinton and Bush, W. Bush. All these same guys. Yeah, Bill,
Hillary's the same freakin people.
And the only difference is that Bill Clinton wasn't in the skull
and bones. Right. But ya know, these are the same creeps. And I
think Obama's I don't know what's going on with him to be
so flat footed. I mean, if you want to play something
interesting,
well, let me just let me read one more passage here from this
play finish, that energy department has started to issue
permits to American companies to export natural gas starting in
2015. So they may have to move that up a little bit. It's
essentially we have terminals, there's 21 applications to build
port facilities. The Gulf Coast really Texas, Louisiana. They
really just have to reverse the valve. You know, it's just
instead of bringing it in, we just turn it around and push it
back out. Yeah, well, that's, that's all built. Right, reverse
it. And put new on on and it's all of our it's all of our
friends. It's Chevron. It's Exxon. It's total it's shell is
a very good article and then I think that that seems like the
obvious one with this is the the only things that are ever fought
over our turf and resources. And hookers. I don't think there's
any anything else worth fighting for?
Well, and you've got all three. Yeah, Ukraine, Ukraine holy lots
of hookers is a lot of land
and someone sent me a video
list. I mean, there's poor people. One of the things are,
Vitaly said in his note was that the Russians don't want you
crazy. You
know, it's it's annoying. It's a burden
for there Yeah.
They don't know they don't I would just like to finish up my
part and then we need to thank some people as well. I want I
just want you to listen to the the final bits of this Ashton
call. And then just so you can hear Did you hear this whole
call or not? You hear this? Yeah, I did.
What exactly happened so that there is no stronger and
stronger understanding that behind snipers? They will? It
was not, you know, COVID But it was somebody from the new
coalition.
I think we do want to investigate. I mean, I've picked
that up. It's interesting.
Oh, it's interesting. Gosh, oh gosh, gosh, I think we do want
to investigate shot. Oh my gosh, oh, God. And and there's also in
the show notes his video of the Prime Minister this is what's
his name? Yeah, that's who went to meet Barroso haiku Herman and
no chin monster who has the worst outfit? It looks like
she's wearing one of those yellow rain jackets that your
mom used to dress you up in as a kid, Mrs. Clinton? Yeah, big
time. And he walks in he's got his skinny suit on with his
skinny pants. And he's he is Mister Mister man walking in a
and he kisses her three times kisses the no chin monster three
times? Because of course they're good buddies is disgusting to
see this play out. And here and here's Ashton? No. It's like a
chain has been chopped off here is. Here is Ashton, talking
about what she feels should be done. But I've also said
to them if you simply barricade the buildings No. And the
government doesn't function we can't get money in because we
need we need a partner to
absolutely listen to her
said to the, you know the opposition leaders shortly to
become government. You need to reach out to me down you need to
be, you know, engaging with them. You also need to get
ordinary police officers back on the streets under a new sense of
their role so that people feel safe. I said to the part of the
region's people if you have to go and lay flowers where the
people died, you have to show that you understand what you
have what has happened here.
That's our grand European solution. Go lay some flowers.
That's what Carrie did. Hey, by the way, I just got a text from
Miss Mickey. We have a strong gas smell coming from the
outside of the house. I've called the gas company they're
on their way. Yeah, it's funny because I thought I smelled
something weird
during the programme check your stove to see if it's like
I'm sure she it's from outside the house. Oh, could be anything
you know this is skunk. No. It's funny because we did have a
skunk the other
day. That's what skunk smell like.
Interesting or it's finally time
to blow up the place. Yeah,
yeah, it happens.
Yes Mr. Grey had a cat gas leak. Yeah, and the whole house
blowed up with it. I think Mickey I know you're listening
darling. It may it may be skunk she's never smelled skunk. We
talked about that. We saw the skunk the other day.
Oh, if you saw a skunk that's gone. I think your image saw a
skunk you have a rabid skunk in the area. Yeah, you should not
it was during the day. Yes. Oh, yeah, bad. You ever see a skunk
during the day? This is my advice to people who don't know
about scope. Hold
on a second. Ladies and gentlemen, we now have official
news from John C. Dvorak. Skunk Awareness Week,
skunk Awareness Week. If you see a skunk out during the day, it's
a nocturnal animal you should realise he probably has or she
has rabies. That will be the skunk you sit
Say that again sick as you sound the just like you were in the
club.
Sounds like she should have or AB
on the polls. Ah, you know what?
Roshani skunk I think
you're right. I think it is a skunk. I think that's what it
is, is that the aroma that is in that they put in the natural gas
is hydrogen. I think it's a little I used to know what the
chemicals were they used they use specific chemicals but they
don't use any dichro del Sol fought fate which is what the
skunk is is ethyl mercaptan which is what they use in
natural gas but it's also dichro metal sulphide, sulphide and
those that and that that second? Smell which is smell is also it
could be maybe a little butyl mercaptan it has that rubbery
scent. So the Oh get the rubbery scent in natural gas.
We had our guy come by. He hadn't been invited in months to
blow up the leaves and then tidy up the yard. Javier by the way
every single Mexican that I've ever met an awesome His name is
Javier. Have you ever know it's just one guy with one passport
and it says Javier. And and so and Javier he says Ed before
these just so you know I that is a skunk by the garage. And and
this was two days ago. Was it Saturday and two or three days
ago and I go outside and lo and behold right and Mickey's little
she's a little studio thing he is next to the garage. This is
all this stuff is falling down. It's not it's not a studio. It's
a wooden shack where you wouldn't even go smoke
cigarettes with your buddies as a kid. And there it is. And I
see that and it's it's just before it must have been four in
the afternoon so the sun was still up or we're still light
out and the skunks walk and I call I said Mickey look here's
this function that is so beautiful it's beautiful and
when he goes down underneath the her shed or whatever and that's
the last time we saw it but I think you're right there's a
skunk that's what it is that's what I was smelling to maybe you
got hit by a car maybe he's dead somewhere that could also be
happening
yeah and then they stink
Oh days months. Yeah, well all right. So
that's solved another problem solved by the team from no
agenda.
Mickey's Yeah, okay, these guys are going to show up. And
they're going to land Ma'am, you got a skunk.
Skunk and now we're not we're not talking about you don't know
what a skunk we're not talking
about your husband
Hey, you know what, John, let's let's just take a moment here.
This has been such a dynamic conversation I think we've
played 30 clips in quick succession I need to thank you
for your courage and I need to thank you for your courage and
and and in the morning to you Josh. You Adam curry
in the morning those chips to see boots on the ground feet in
the air subs in the water and all the names of knights out
there. We do have some people to thank we have two executive
producers and two Associate Executive producers. The weeks
are getting slower as we approach show 600 Maybe when
saving up Pierre a min a gra and get our man man egg.
It would be fresh Minh Asia Monet Minaj lemonade. manera
manera.
That doesn't make any difference. It's not as he calls
himself Raymond Roho. So
Raymond oops foreigner dollars.
Somewhere I heard pink sing summer. Ultra programming
compelled me to donate $322.23 This worked the best podcast to
the best podcast in the universe. Oh, however, my OCD
hates this so I'm throwing in a sack of sevens to round it out.
Oh, who knows 400 Always great work can I get a shut up slave l
gy karma for all the Winnipeggers out there who have
had to endure the coldest winter since 1939 the cap and trade is
working out great.
You You've got karma Awesome.
Thank you so much. That's right.
That's sir Raymond Roho I think he's benighted that
feels right. Yeah, people please add that to your notes for so
many reasons. It's hard for us to track that. And we want to
address you properly. We really do.
Miss what I'd say. Isaac Chase $333.33 cents number of notes.
And I got into a debate with him actually, about his notes. No, I
gotta debate because he had this kind of a very weak theory about
the three woods.
Oh, yes. And I followed that debate and then I sent them a
private note and I said hmm, buzzkill piston on your parade.
And then he went and you didn't protect me? No,
thank you for your courage as long as note accompanies my
first executive producer donation I have three reasons
for the 3333 First I want to call three lovely ladies to the
stage so he's cheating them on the list for the next time we
open the club. Oh, by the way the club can't be done. I knew
this was gonna happen don't tell me the inspectors came Yep. The
inspectors came they they the dunk tank is gone. Unless we
have to re What do you call and yet I have an
idea. Why don't we say it's a baptism tank
in Texas Yeah, unfortunately places in Florida Oh, okay. Well
Florida my work I don't know whatever the case is. We have to
reinforce the surrounding beams or some dam we're getting bids
to get an architect in for that or do it
but also you know we may just take the dunk tank out and but
there's also some other issues with stage five oh, it was put
in poorly anyway okay. He talks about he used to work for the
Colorado sound now skip his argument about three used to
work for the Colorado State government it was a job loaded
with bullshit served hot and fresh daily Barbara Neverland
overlords when Governor Hickenlooper he says anytime you
use a series of three three means bullshit and I told them
it's this is not an explanation for anything. Here the third
reason for the 33 three donation is to thank you for your value
for value model my business partner and I have been using it
with great success in our firearms training endeavour we
offer all of our training for free over the whole state of
Colorado to whomever wants it and by the way, if you don't
know how you want to shoot a gun or if you're gonna play with
take some training that training is not a big deal.
Wait a minute so what's this he gives the training and Concealed
Carry Training for free
free firearms training and free concealed carry classes
that's what all that's all you need to do you just signed up
yet WW
guns for every one.com
and you get value for value and then you pay whatever you
what you think that you take the course you get your free you get
your lessons you shoot a gun, and then you're comfortable
around weapons and then you decide to give him whatever you
think he deserves. Hmm And that's working out apparently
says it is. Since he's thanking us for our model
Nice. Someone sent me a note that by the way, he
does need a lone wolf to to the head little kid milk
law loan a little kid
with a karma with a car. Oh, he wants hot milk baby.
He wants lone wolf to the head little milk. Yeah, that's when
hot milk. Right right.
Yeah, that one and with with a Karma
now you've got karma.
I like that. That's cool. That's a great idea. You know, I do
that here. I love the whole idea. He probably makes more
money than whatever competitive rate he has to charge. were
other people doing that.
Well for one I think here's the reason for that. If you're going
to use this model because it's free, this is the old Come on,
it's free. And you You probably doubled your clientele right off
the bat because people are going to get put off by whatever the
fee is because you think it's too expensive you don't know
what to you don't even know what this course is about until you
take it then you but if you take the course free and then you say
wow this was valuable and it is valuable to take these courses
if you're going to have a firearms or you have anything to
do with them and you go wow that was worth every penny you know
you give the guy you know whatever whatever and you
probably ask him I would what do you what would people normally
charged for this and you say whatever it is and you give them
that money at least or maybe more so I think it's worth this
Yeah. And and you feel bad if you don't give them money
because it's like being in a church. It's not like our show
we can guilt people by having the guy sitting next to you look
at you saying How come you're not getting any money? Hey, we
can't do that. Look at this
plate. This plate that I'm
putting in front of you is just gonna have something on it.
I love the bag on a stick better. Have you ever seen the
bag on a stick? A Catholic bag on the stick? Oh, hey, look what
a poke in the bag on a stick thing. Cool. And what's the
what's the URL again?
Guns for everyone.com.
Nice. Good one.
So that's and then we have to I and there's no notes and they
came in as bank cheques from one of the payment services. David
Killian from Clinton, Illinois. $208. Which must mean something
but I have no email and Susan Bell from Clarksville, Maryland.
$201.33. Are you
sure there wasn't a note from Susan Bell?
I didn't see I looked a bell in my email.
Let me just check for a second. Do I see a no. And the other one
David Killian.
Yeah. K i l l i A n almost alien. It's me. Double L I
know nothing. I got nothing. I got nothing.
Okay, well, it's fine. So there are two Associate Executive
producers for show. 597 That's all we got for this show. 597.
Want to remind people we do have a show coming up on Sunday. 598,
which would be a couple away from show 600. And make sure to
go to divorce.org/n. A. And keep the show on the road.
Yeah. Thank you. For those of you who probably took the
newsletter too hard to jump in at the last minute there and
help us out. That is highly appreciated. We're running long
today. already. I can tell us we will have a thank you segment
later on for our donors about $50. Quick PR mentioned I want
to say no agenda nation.com They've got the 33 bags. You
want an endorsement for and by the way, we don't have nothing
to do with this. Eric gives us something that basically Eric
sends us an invoice every month and then sometimes he gives a
little bit back. Honestly,
learn from the old man. Yes. Yeah. Well
figured well, good. Mickey loves the 33 bags. She is she said oh
my god, he's I'm not kissing. I'm not bullcrap. I love these
bags. They're sturdy. They feel good. She uses them for all
kinds of stuff.
Oh, well, that's women like the 33. Bag. Thank you become a
fashion state. Thank
you. That's exactly right.
I think we're onto something.
In addition, sir, Lou, dark BABOK fudge Fountain has set up
something very cool. He is doing he set up a you can get this
code from GitHub, he has a no agenda Summary page, which is
text only you can go to the page and you get the summaries with
time codes of what was on each individual show, which is really
good to have to for it to be indexed. And then people can
figure out what was in his show for
us to find stuff. Thank
you. And he has tools tools that you can pull from GitHub to I
think it's I think it's Python, I'm not sure. Anyway, the URL
was called clooney.org. So if you click on call clooney.org
You go to no agenda summary. So I'll go take a look here. Oh, it
also has a PDF of all show summaries and this it somehow
works automatically. You got to look at the tools. But if you
look at our previous show, it has a nice you know, it says
here one hour, nine minutes American Red Cross month Irish
American Heritage Month Women's History Month, which reminds me,
John, yeah, we have a few new things to look at for our for
this month. It is let me see. Did we 20 We missed? We missed
on the 28th of February. Read Across America Day. I can't
believe we missed that. March 31. Coming up coming up coming
up. It will be Oh no, it's for the whole month I'm sorry,
colorectal cancer month. Which has
asked cancer anyone want to celebrate that as cancer
and then my favourite. It is we are still in the middle of
National Consumer Protection Week, which I would like to call
out as completely bogus ative.
No
reading from his proclamation we have taken action to prevent
credit card companies from hiding fees in intentionally
obscure text and given families access to clear comprehensive
information on student loans. Okay. I would just like to say
from time to time I try and see if I can get some credit And I
made a huge mistake a while back and I haven't I haven't brought
this up. Yeah, this, I've wanted you to bring this up. Yeah, I
told you privately and then you said I should talk about on the
show. Because I'm embarrassed. You know, if I have a FICO score
of a
million, you don't need to talk about your FICO score, just give
us contracts about this scam.
So I get one of these flyers in the mail. It says, you know, get
the Capital One. This is you know, what, what all those black
actors are, oh, well, that would be the one. So did Alec Baldwin
and the guy from
was fired from it, by the way? Yeah, whatever.
So he's like, Okay, I'll try it. And lo and behold, I go to the
website, and I sign up, and then they say, you've been approved?
Yeah. I mean, I went to meet him like, Honey, I am credit worthy.
By the way before you continue,
I'm still celebrating. Yeah.
Before you continue with the celebration, I want to remind
people that the story you're about to hear would never be
told on any normal news outlet ever. Because you the listener,
and producer are the ones who pay for this show.
You get this story? Yes. And they're huge advertisers.
They're a huge advertiser, they've corrupted all media that
this particular story has not been,
it's no different than GoDaddy, or Carbonite, or any, they're
all the same.
It's beside the points of corporate corruption, but go
just tell. So let me interrupt you anymore.
So they say congratulations, you You are worth $300 a month. I'm
like, Alright, this is good. And would you like the car to look
like this or this, like, click on whatever, just make it look
kind of classy? I think I actually black and like, yeah,
maybe if I put my thumb over the visa thing, they'll think it's
an American black card. So it shows up. And and I didn't
activate it right away. All you have to do to activate is just
use it. And the next day, I get a bill, I got a statement. So
open it up. And it says congratulations. Here's your
first bill for $105 for the entire year and and $15 for your
customization fee. Like the what fee, there was no fee mentioned
anywhere. And I'm pretty good at looking at things I really
looked through as much as I could. And I saw no fees. I said
I'd certainly didn't agree to any customization fee. And right
there it says but you know, you can start now with your 23.8%
interest rate and pay only $25. So I mean, I pay it off
immediately pay the whole thing off. And,
and I paid that fuse the card. I didn't know you gave them any
money.
Well, I had already activated the card
by using it where
I paid for our new registration for Mickey's car. I know. So now
now now I'm hooked. Although I have to say they sent me a new
note. My credit line is now $400. That's right. That's
right. I'm not kidding. And they send me another statement. And
I'm like, Oh, I just got um now I'm traumatised because I don't
have to do any credit card bills ever because we use debit cards.
So now I'm traumatised, I actually have a chequebook
downstairs in the kitchen for when this thing comes in so I
can sign it right away. Because I'm such a procrastinator. I
know I'll get screwed. It'll be I'll be owing 1000s of dollars
before you know it. And so works. Yeah, but then they said
they so there's the charge. And they have a $2 like interest
fee. How can I how can that be? They get to charge interest. I
thought the deal was if you pay it immediately you you have no
interest charges. He's not how it's supposed to work.
Wow, they're gouging you from every left and right to cancel
the card and send the whole thing to consumer protection. I
guarantee you if I cancel this card, I'm going to get a $500
cancellation fee that I haven't seen. In fact I might just do it
just to prove the point. So presidential proclamation
National Consumer Protection Week blow me blow me Obama and
what's that woman's name that that do shield knuckle biatch
we're supposed to protect them as Warren that one the fake
American Indian
screw you Troon Indian Elizabeth Warren Karen key
SCREW YOU to National Consumer Protection would you have done
nothing?
And I take it that you're not recommending Capital One. What's
in your
wallet. Bullen old rubber. That's all I want in my wallet.
Well, there's another fine anecdote, no agenda show that
will not be heard anywhere else ever.
This is why we need your support through donations because we
don't look pretty to advertisers.org/and you can
always go out and propagator for me the challenge that I sent you
what's in your wallet have the formula
is this we go out for yet people in the mouth
shut up
I'm gonna collect all 14
of what people yell and stuff with Putin Did you not hear it
oh man oh man oh man oh man yeah so we could I guess we're gonna
have to get off of the I think we can just say safely say I
don't think there's going to be any war happening. I don't think
people are going to be getting well people may get killed for
sure.
Oh yeah by snipers. Both sides. Yeah, okay, I got it. What do
you what's today's What's today's bet? I think we should
go three good guys and four cops as too many cops the cops are
getting pissed off again shot in the head. Yeah, okay, let's do
two though. Let's do one cop and six guys six other guys just
guys a woman and a baby.
I forgot to tell you after the Oscars this is this is so
disgusting. Here's I saw this article. Celebrate ease came
together at Hollywood domino at a Hollywood the Hollywood domino
pizza event sponsored by Heineken and also a collateral
to raise much needed funds. This is after the Oscars is one of
these after parties. And before I tell you what the what it was
for? Rumer Willis. That's the doodle. What is it the whoever
that is. Kate Beckinsale, Kevin Jonas, I guess are the Jonas
Brothers Vanessa Hudgens? No idea who she is. Some people I
don't know. But celebrate ease came together for the domino
event sponsored by Hynek and Jose Corvo to raise much needed
funds for Artists for Peace and Justice to benefit Haiti and the
rebuilding of Port au Prince. Yes. And it's into this as
artists for justice, justice and peace peace and justice and the
raising money for Haiti.
These Kelly here's what they here's my interpretation these
guys are so brain dead these these similarities Yeah, they're
you're looking at say hey, what Hey, remember when we did that
Haiti? Yeah, they took all the money. Really they took all the
money. Well, let's do that again. And let's take the money
ourselves.
If they're gonna take the money themselves,
let's take the money ourselves. That's a great idea. You can
take the money, we can take the money they took the money we can
take the money.
So after billions of dollars live telethons all over the
world. Now we have to have the artists and for peace and
justice for Haiti, which of course is a nonprofit
organisation that encourages peace and social justice and
addresses issues of poverty around the world. Our immediate
goal is to serve the poorest communities in Haiti with
programmes in education, health care and dignity. Yeah, how
about a toilet for them to poop in league and take the money and
did listen to the people here the Advisory Board have a by
name. Pierce Brosnan, Jackson Browne, Daniel Craig, Russell
Crowe, Penelope Cruz, Clinton die and Diana Eastwood. Mark
Evans, Jane Fonda, Dr. Henry Ford. Ron says Underwood Martha
Rodgers,
and it all ends up
in Susan Sarandon. Ah, it's just it's disgusting. I hear the gas
guys I see them walking outside it's gonna be funny.
Gas guy the skunk should get come barreling out turn around
and spray him the gas guy he's walking Thanks for calling we'll
be here really fast next time you call
the gas guys lumbering. Believe me there's no one here in a
hazmat suit. Let's put it that way.
I was blown away by the the in some ways the idiocy of course.
But also Wow, man, these people really, really dare to do this.
Cheese.
I'm glad you're upset about it. So I have a couple of things.
might be interesting. Oh, this is good news. Of course,
everyone. Oh, yeah. Yeah. California High Speed Rail.
blocked.
Oh, hold on a second. Where are your clips? Oh, you some
California. No, your clips close for some reason. That's not
good. Come to California everybody.
Opponents of California's high speed rail project have scored a
pair of victories in Sacramento tonight. First, a judge has
ruled that a lawsuit can go forward. It's backed by a group
of farmers who contend the current plan doesn't deliver
Ever on promises made to voters in 2008 also today the Secretary
of State approved a petition drive for November ballot
initiative that would terminate the whole project and block the
state from spending any more money on high speed rail. Wow.
Holy moly
tonnes of money still but the this is like have you noticed
that that just all we used to have trains good planes bad and
all the rest of yeah, there's all this we was a theme of the
show for a good long time. Yeah,
for sure.
It's gone. Well, why?
I don't know. You tell me.
Well, I mean, it's we don't have enough stories about I can play
the jingle if it makes you feel good. No, I don't
want to the jingle. All right. I just think something's changed.
Well, California is weird by itself. Here's the news from Los
Angeles. Fans
of E cigarettes won't be able to inhale in public in Los Angeles
anymore. The LA City Council that vote council voted Tuesday
to ban them at bars, nightclubs and restaurants. The move
essentially treats e cigarettes the same way as traditional
tobacco products. New York City and Chicago also have similar
bans in place. Supporters say The ban will protect
impressionable kids but opponents say the devices help
people kick traditional cigarettes.
I think if I still live in Los Angeles, I think I would just go
to a restaurant and just put a vibrator in my mouth you know
one of those ones that twirls and has lights on it and stuff
Yeah, just hold that out and just pretend to puff on a little
bit hey what this is ludicrous there's been no I mean they've
had some study but certainly not years and years of study that
this is detrimental to your health know it because you can't
do it because kids mind to be influenced and want to smoke a
real cigarette
in a bar in a bar
that's that is truly Shut up slave you know, just listen to
the joint you know, it's not it's really weird. You maybe
just go to you know, stick a tampon in your nose or something
I would really be doing that. And if they if they start
banning that in Texas, I'll do that too.
On an unlit cigar
that's probably also illegal like I'm telling you these
people is nuts and everyone's hold code or move and of course
you know that the the real reason is that tobacco lobby has
got to be behind this like hey, hey, I want people smoking the
real deal we don't want them getting any ideas here
take a little break here for another episode of guests the
movie
oh and we still don't do we have we ever got a jingle for that.
Now by the time we get a jingle we're stopped doing it. Okay, so
this is a movie that they played recently and I recorded it on
the DVR because I haven't seen it for years it's impossible to
watch in one setting but it's one of the greatest movies ever
made in my opinion and here's a little clip from it see if you
can guess it Mary tells me are very nice fellows What do you do
on vacation What did you do? Oh I'm sorry. Well, I work at
lapels factory printed Henry's very clever at printing Yes, he
sounds very clever.
I happen to know this one because it's old enough for me
to remember. This is of course Blazing Saddles. No, no, I was
so sure it was right. How about Citizen Kane? No,
no,
I really don't know i He
is the classic and I recommend it to everyone all the listeners
all the producers and all the men and women in the on the
ships on the ground and boots in the air. Eraserhead David
Lynch's classic Oh wow.
I don't remember the donkey.
No, that was the girl who's just has apparently just has fits
randomly having a fit. And she's cured from her fit when her
mother brushes her hair
has been so long that I saw a razor Hellraiser or it was
Eraserhead. I raised her head. I don't I don't think I've ever
seen him raise Lynch. No, I don't think I've seen it. You
would enjoy it. Would I'm sure what if I have there's so many
Mickey both. There's so many movies. I want to see.
Oh no, I'm telling you right now you and Mickey should sit down
to raise their heads on Friday night, and just have a good time
watching Eraserhead.
Speaking of movies. I was talking to someone who without
you saying it. Because this person has to remain anonymous.
Someone who is close to like Sue For elites, like Tom Cruise in
the movie business, but also PR people at Goldman Sachs and you
know, did I get around? Had dinner with them? What is today?
dinner with him Monday, Thursday, Monday, Monday night,
Monday night. And I really don't like going out at all I don't
like but yeah, Monday night. Here is the rumour from the
elites. And I, you know, we have a lot of rumours about the
president,
from the elites. Rumours from the
elites, apparently so we all know that, you know, what's his
face? Murdoch's ex wife that she was bang and Tony Blair, we know
that right? We got that one out. We had that one. Early. A rumour
is our president really is whenever possible whenever he's
on it on the road, a European thing or a g7 or anything like
that, that he's bang in? Hello, Thorning Schmidt the Oh, yeah. I
said, That's what I said. Now, he said, No, no, really? He's
banging her. The selfie woman from the
Yes. Blonde. Yeah.
You know, that's it makes it
in context. Outcomes razor. It's simple, right? You think? Yeah.
See,
they're looking like two buddies. Yeah. And you got to
glowering wife has given them the eye. Yeah. Knowing what's
going on, but not being able to do much about it, or can't prove
it or whatever. She probably has a secret service guys already
told her.
Oh, well, that's that's what the National Enquirer said. That she
found out through the Secret Service guys. Yeah, yeah.
Anyway, so that's just a rumour. You heard it here first. And you
don't have to put in the Red Bull because we really don't
care.
Now. This is this is real news. We don't care.
But along with the at least, how does it work? When wasn't Bill
Gates? Wasn't he busy spending his entire fortune? Wasn't that
the whole idea that he and Warren Buffett
Bill Gates Foundation? It's going to be a philanthropist
who's going to spend all his money is putting it in profit
making operations. Is that what you're gonna get? Is that where
you're headed? Well,
yes, he is. He has reclaimed the title as the world's richest
man. Yeah. Well,
how does that work?
How does that work? Expand your mind.
I thought he was giving it all away. I don't understand. It's
very confusing to me.
It's not giving it away. It's just bull crap.
Yes. Yes, exactly. It's bull crap. Well, the bull crap that
he's involved in is very
Oh, yeah. It has a piece of corrective Corporation of
America now. Right. Yeah. But
the whole the common core thing is what really bothers me as
where two plus three is approximately.
And I, ya know, I think I found another common core piece of the
puzzle with this really weird. Now we've been talking about the
My Brother's Keeper, the becoming a man the match
syndicate of, of what do you call those charter schools? The
charter school thing is on a tear. And everybody's all in on
it. And Robert Redford is producing a series on CNN, a
reality series about Chicago Mayor, Rahm Emanuel, which is,
is I mean, it's it's kind of blowing my mind a little bit.
You know, shameless. Yeah. And I'll play the promo that see, I
think it starts and so you see it on buses as being promos
everywhere, which means there's more money behind it than just
CNN. Alright, CNN has money, but CNN is failing. They then they
really have a huge problem. So this is money being funnelled in
specifically to promote this, which is an agenda and if you
listen to the promo, to me, it sounds all that it's all about
charter
schools from executive producer Robert Redford all accountable
to the children's city of Chicago
and worry about my kids, it could all fall apart. The people
of Chicago standoff in
Chicago Chicagoland a new CNN original series premieres March
6. Chicago man crazy shit. Allstate.
Allstate There you go, it's tonight. That's native
advertising for you all stay Daigo. The Allstate has bought
into this hook line and sinker and it's all about school kids.
So
this all let me get this straight. So CNN which is
failing, it's been a lot of stories in the media about them
not even being as getting the numbers of MSNBC which are about
1/4 The numbers of Fox and they're just doing terribly and
they had to fire douche Morgan and they're going to rethinking
everything. So they've decided to take the A and E AMC the HBO
route and do dramas.
Yeah, I guess so.
Well, that's probably better. Yeah.
Well, that's gonna get him higher ratings, but it kind of
messes up when you're trying to, you know, send pooper or to
Crimea. Just apparently ratings are terrible. Oh, no, he's,
he's, he's on his way out to. I'm just looking at all state
Common Core. Do you got to think these guys are in on this?
Anyway, so that whole thing. We know Rama, Rama Manuel, he's
closing schools in Chicago public schools, and opening up
charter schools, and charter schools are all on board with
CCSS, the Common Core State Standards, and your children are
being assimilated. Literally in front of your very eyes, they're
being we're just washed up into this thing. And people are so
uninvolved with their kids, they don't, I don't understand that
homework is too complicated. And whatever.
But the other thing that's interesting is they're gonna
they're trying to shift and they would never go to voucher
programme, which, which I always thought was a decent I didn't
like it at first, when I first heard it. Years ago, when I was
a kid, because I was a Democrat. And if anything was good from
the Republican side was bad,
just bad. It was bad. Even Republicans even in your day.
And it's
it has always always been, it's amazing. So anyway, but it seems
like a logical way to go. Because you have all these
different schools and the money is collected, you take it to
give spin it anywhere you want. And it becomes really
competitive instead of kind of run by the state like it is now.
So these charter schools are coming, they're kind of quasi
they make money somehow. And they take the steel state money,
they take the state money, they pay their teachers, you know,
they they, they know how to run the operation. There's no union,
they're running a commercial operation. They know how to
run a commercial, they know how to do it. But the thing is, they
gotta have to make the numbers look right. And the way the
reason charter schools work, and I think you've could find this
backed up by some documentation is they take the cream of the
crop kids right out of the regular schools. I mean, this is
the way it's been going. This is how they got their reputation.
You take a school that's got a bunch of dumb kids and way too
smart kids, you figure out who the two smart kids is, if you're
lucky, but generally speaking, the teachers can figure it out.
So they got a couple of smart because they pull them out. And
then the charter schools get them and the charter schools get
them from all different schools, and all the other schools
averages go down because they took the smart kids out. And the
charter schools go up and it was this charter schools work.
That's right. And then the the colleges will start putting
their endowments into those charter schools, because they
work and if you look at Louisiana, New Orleans,
specifically the Ninth Ward everything all those schools
that got wiped out by Katrina all replaced with charter
schools. You talk to people down there that the the the charter,
they talked about in you know, the best economic boom, ever,
thanks to Katrina, like Katrina was the best thing that could
ever happen to these people. To the calm to the charter school
people,
and so they shouldn't have to courses is that she just closed
down all the non charter schools and then like college prep,
which is all the charter school kids, they should have prison
prep. Yes. And they should just put the kids into a that's where
you're headed prison because they're gonna go straight to go.
The Corrections Corporation of America, partly owned by Bill
Gates and Melinda Gates Foundation.
And really, these these people, you know, they're getting the
experience, they they know how to run schools, because they
invest in the Corrections Corporation of America. They
know how to run this thing. Yeah.
So you have this this call these prison prep schools. And then
you put the kids in and you show them how to stand in line to get
food and how to bang on on the bars and how to drink from a tin
cup.
How to how to write a book on a grain of rice,
how to make a shift.
Wait a minute. What do you call it? Prison prep schools that
prep? Is it just called Prison prep? Or do you want a college
prep prison?
Because you're obviously going straight to prison? They've
already been pushed aside for the other kids. Just get them
ready. And I want to go to prison. Shut up.
You learn how to do tattoos. Yeah. Hey, prison prep.com has
already taken or screw that motion to prison prep.
schools.com. But you think that would be at least worth
something?
Might be. Is this going to happen? Or is your kid ready for
prison prep?
pre pre prison prep?
Yeah, yeah. To have the early eggs the Head Start.
Would you see who will start
for losers
Prison prep.com Who is using prison? prep.com Oh, here it is
prison. prep.com the leading prison prep site on the net.
Well, hello. What?
What is prison prep for what?
Is okay? Click here to buy prison? No, no, no, no, it's a
parking page. What is a good parking page? There's little
little little justice hammer there. Interesting. You can buy
it. Yes. Screw that. I'm not gonna buy that from No, we're
not buying anything. I'm not buying anything. Well. Prison
prep. What else? I like that like and also learn how to bang
your utensils on the on the bench
bang bang. Call the prison guards screw,
screw. Everyone gets to wear a nametag named bubba.
She gets a lot of wear prison outfit, which is, gosh, fun. You
get a number and you get to pick up litter. There's a lot to do
with a blunt stick. Yeah. That's great. That's where the charter
schools are headed. And let's just cut out the middleman just
close to the
schools. I'm straight through Yeah, but I'm straight through.
I think you're onto something. Yeah, I
think so. I wonder if Redmond Redford would cover anything
like that.
Oh, please. I don't even know why he's doing it. That seems so
witty. Well, Ari Emanuel is of course funding the whole thing.
His brother. Oh Ari from being a shoddy super agent. Sorry. Yeah.
I was looking at the healthy surprise box.
Did Yeah, this last box was just like all chocolate. I think the
vegans vegans have given up well there's two things not eating
anything but kale and chocolate well, so
no, no, I found something new and then I found some other
things but I really was digging the garlic herb slow roasted
pumpkin seeds. I don't think I had very nice now. And that from
the chocolate box. I gotta put my glasses up here. This was the
righteously raw maca bar and I was eating it. And it tasted
really good until I read the description. Our chocolate
contains only the highest quality, raw organic
ingredients. We then Pair it with nature's most dynamic super
foods to create an unsurpassed gourmet experience. Really
nature's most dynamic superfoods,
I don't know what a dynamic superfood is.
It's interesting that apparently in the Netherlands, I didn't
know this. The superfoods thing had already caught on we've been
tracking this as kale will be a superfood apparently, Coco palm
sugar ki mwah Goji beads whatever HAMP a kale. This was
everyone was all in I think we've talked about how the Dutch
are wheat on the biological stuff. Oh yes, I buy biological.
Everything's biological. But they bought into some biological
Yes, I'm branding and now apparent I don't know why this
happened. But some government institution said hey, super
foods are bullcrap. And then the papers are full of it. Oh, super
foods is a hoax. It's not true. It's just marketing. Wow. Oh,
hold on. What was it darling? Was it was it a skunk? Not a
skunk. Oh, hold on a second. But we have no gas player so good.
Why isn't it a skunk? Oh, did you smell this? No like a skunk.
Do I smell like a skunk? Thank you love. Alright, we're all
clear. We're not gonna blow up likely story.
All right. You get droned? Well, that's
yeah, that's the cover. Well, we went to check in. We couldn't
find any leak but I guess we missed it. Anyway, so the
superfood thing is blowing up in in Gitmo nation lowlands. I was
just amazed that this turns out to be a marketing ploy and it
wasn't true. Ah, yeah.
Well, I've got a four clip theme here a little package. A package
I've noticed I wanted to point this out it's not a package
because I didn't produce it. But I wanted to point this out that
way because we got into some global warming issues here in
there once in a while trying to deal with this polar vortex
freezing out the East Coast and all the rest. And the coldest
winter we just had one of our producers say was the coldest
winter in Winnipeg
nice since 1939. So
I really you know, this is really we are just we have no
chance of ever winning this battle. Until they until the
other side decides just to stop doing this because the subtle
propaganda
Just a verbal warming you mean of the climate change thing?
Yeah. Oh yeah, no, we have no chance zero chance.
And just you can hear it in all these they take any story of
course, I'm just waiting for when they're working on this
thing with the starfish. You know the starfish that are
killing themselves. You just You just wait for them to come up
with global warming is the reason they just haven't been
able to do it because the damn starfish are doing this
everywhere. Yeah, but let's listen to the global warming
Blitz and how it's just very subtle, they don't even they
don't even make a big deal out of it. They don't condemn those
who are sceptical or denialist and all the rest of it with
number one, which will be bugs in the south, it by the way,
this is a non sequitur story because it makes no sense.
While there is an upside to the extreme cold weather that many
parts of the country had this year it is decimating the
population of destructive insects, but it costs more than
$2 billion in losses. The Adelgid feeds off Hemlock
forests and the East gypsy moths and ash boars also killed
millions of trees and all of them are dying off in large
numbers because of the cold. There is one downside to to all
of this. The weather that may be causing the extreme cold is also
making winters warmer. And that's funny. These insects live
farther north making more of the United States vulnerable to
destruction.
Okay, we have noticed this of course being in the South. None
of our bugs here I've been surviving this extreme cold
weather. And people like my my Underwood. And and we're happy
because we have no mosquitoes Good move up north. This is a
plus for us. Yeah. Okay.
So then we go on to clip number two, which is this is Diane
Sawyer. And this is the clip they got that every local
station played. This is ABC, and all these clips are from ABC,
because ABC is all in on this stuff. And she's a little more
bold about it about this is the amoeba that was discovered in
Russia. Oh,
this is the 30,000 year old virus, didn't we but this
permafrost thing this is is that the perma frost or Diane Sawyer
which 1am I playing which 1am I playing Diane Sawyer
Diane Sawyer, but the just says Diane Sawyer,
and now a word of a Jurassic virus locked inside a block of
ice in Siberia for 13,000 years. Tonight, it has warned about to
life after researchers let it thaw it is lethal if you're an
amoeba. But scientists do not believe it's a danger to humans,
though they warn today that global warming could revive
other dangerous ancient diseases lurking out there in the Siberia
and ice.
Get Diane on the phone right now and give her something to drink
the woman sounds parched.
So because global warming is gonna kill us this way, because
global warming is going to kick dug up some ice cores and found
this thing it wasn't like it was melting. But anyway, so but the
local version of the story makes it sound as though this is
happening in real time. And that's the one permafrost local
coverage.
Well, from insects to viruses. The biggest virus ever
discovered is awake and infectious. After a 30,000 year
nap, deepened Siberia is permafrost and the virus only
infects amoebas. But the researchers who uncovered it are
worried that other ancient viruses are locked into the
permafrost and could be unleashed as the thaws. Right?
Dying it's just global warming of course. Hello.
The subtext is yes warming. i This local report was actually
slicker than Diane actually coming out and saying global
warming
well I liked it. I'm glad you got a clip of it because I tried
to find what and couldn't have the the native advertising
abusing global warming.
Well, are you talking about the chipotle clip that would be the
one Okay, now this one here is the topper. This is so good
global warming native This is a triple play global warming
thing to Obama bought think tank,
the whole thing. Well, this was a this was a report that the
company itself brought out. But this is so ludicrous that it's
like that's not a kind of a war that no no this is not a warning
that the stock people want to listen to his bullshit. Let's
play.
Well the Chipotle restaurant chain is warning its investors
about the risks of global warming. In its annual report.
The company says climate change might eventually affect the
availability of key ingredients such as avocados, excited to
Livermore National Lab prediction that hotter
temperatures will cause a 40% drop in California's avocado
production over the next three decades. The company says that
issue could eventually drive up prices and force it to take
items such as guacamole off the menu. Oh no.
in 30 years, guacamole will not just anyone think Chipotle is
going to be in business to
hear about your forward looking statements. 30 years. This is
what they sent to their investors in 30 years. We may
have to take them Come on This is like Tom Collins over there
at Apple. Tim Collins, Tom Cook, Steve, Steve. Steve kale, Steve
Cook, Steve kale. This is my new guy, Steve keel over there at
Apple saying, If you don't believe in climate change, take
your money elsewhere. What is that all
about? Yeah, I
don't know. It's like, and I saw at Jason. Jason Calacanis. Yeah,
who doesn't know him? And he tweeted, that's leadership. Oh,
I haven't seen leadership like that since the Democratic
Convention of 49. What?
Maybe Jason was being sarcastic. No, no, no, he's
all in. Oh, come on. If he can blow Steve kale, he'll blow him.
Jason's nuts that way. But I he's srour. Me. That's what
Jason does. That's true. Hey, can I have more of this? I'd
like to
nice, global warming report.
I like it. I like it. Very good. Yeah, it's funny, because that's
exactly the story that I skipped. Like, oh, but of course
you did the work. Great. This is how it comes together. I love
that. Let's, we want to I want to do the donation segment. And
since we're on this native advertising, which is something
we just do not participate in. The Huffington Post, has done a
couple of these headline, Taco Bells new breakfast menu will
unleash the waffle taco on America.
Ching. That's news.
Or Ben and Jerry nails it with new core ice cream flavours.
We should just do the honeymoon Post report, because they're all
in on.
That's all they do. That's all they do.
And you know, and by the way, oh, by the way, they when they
did the when they did the article on the Oscars. They
refused. They don't want use the term native advertising. They
just they ever all this is product placement. Oh, yeah.
They won't say native advertising? Of course not. No,
of course not. One of our producers just he said that. His
firm, a very prestigious Chicago advertising firm. This is where
the headquarters are most of the guys by and by the way the this
was also Chicago, the Samsung thing. It was one of those guys
the hip and happening guys.
I don't know that ha Are you
calm the media vest, media vests. That's the guys. But
there's another Chicago prestigious Chicago firm who was
they there, the whole company is all about native advertising.
Now. That's all that they're pitching to their clients. And
it's the end is great, because the biggest problem we had in
advertising, I wasn't advertising for quite a
substantial part of my life. Even when I wasn't in
advertising, I was still a part of advertising. At a certain
point, they had the split that there were what happened in the
industry is the creative split off from the media buy. So
whenever you see visually, if you ever read Advertising Age,
you should just go to for for a lark, they'll talk about the
budget. And the budget is always the media buy. And the way it
works is you get a 20 Let's say $20 million budget for the media
buy. And the agency has a fee. And that is typically 10%,
sometimes 15 10%
of that budget. So that was mostly 15. But going,
I think it got lowered. I could be and the creative would have
to come out of that money. Right? And so but of course not
enough money, no. And there's all kinds of palms, you gotta
grease down the line, because the media buyer for the company,
you know, they're gonna want to sex and hookers and all kinds of
stuff. And we've talked about those kids
these days. And usually kids just out of school, they don't
know anything, and
they want tickets to the Grammys, and you know, so cost a
lot of money. And then the creative you know, this is so
what are we going to do we what are we going to do with the
creative and who's going to pay for it because the the the
agency does not charge for it. Now all of a sudden, they're
setting up these and if you're a writer, by the way, get in,
because this is where the money is going to be made. They're
going to be building we're going to have a team for you. Listen,
Samsung, we have a team for you. We're going to be writing all
these great articles. Then we're going to go out and do our media
buy, right. And we're going to write this lemon. Here's our
lineup. Here's our slate, even calling it slate like the movie
business. Here's our slate of articles for you. Here's our
slate of videos we're going to be making Oh yeah, so the New
York Times will put them right on the page. It's they're
basically becoming little creative modules with their
byline with bio Oh, yeah, like they get credit. And it's great.
The whole industry now. It's not good if you actually Want some
information that's that's uncorrupted?
No if you want good, solid information that is actually
forget about it. uncorrupted is the only way to put it or
incorruptible. You're not going to get it from any of these
places. It's like the Capital One. What's in your wallet?
Story? Your debt is not going to play on any network because I
don't even know what their budget is, is 101 $100 million.
They were
paying Alec Baldwin 5 million a year. That's just one pitch guy.
Yeah. So yeah, you got to think their budget is over 100
million. Yeah, it's
huge. And they and that's a lot of bottom line money for any
network or, or a newspaper or magazine that so they are not
going to mess with Capital One. No, because they're big Capital
One. You can do it. I mean, you can go out and say anything you
want about anybody but you did the plug gets pulled. You get
called into the office by the suits and say, What are you
doing to us? Can you do this? Why did you write this? It's not
a nest. It's not unnecessary story to write? Well, I thought
it would be protecting the public because it seems like a
scam to me if you do what that was that Adam curry said. I
don't care about Adam curry or the scam or anything. These guys
are big advertisers. And we don't want stories about them.
No, you're fired. Yep.
And it's how if you really want to me just what you do is you
just blanket the market with your stories, blanket them and
no one will ever do a negative story about you. That's why you
don't hear that much about Monsanto, or GE or Archer
Daniels Midland corporation because they sponsor all the
public radio stuff. That's why it's hard. Not Yeah, exactly.
I mean, that's where that's where the smart guys all are.
They're they're manipulating the media. And so the public gets
nothing. I got this clip that I want to play before we go into
the donation so
I was actually setting up my own clip, but go ahead Is it a
donation clip?
It's a kind of a donation clip. This is the news then and now
good lead in clip and I wanted mentioned this was there was a
some guys that a documentary about free speech TV and this
little lead in to the documentary I thought was the
price of admission because it kind of says it all. And here's
why it's important that people out there support the no agenda
show this is serious that we get continuous support from the
producers and listeners of this show.
This was the slaughter known as the First World War 16 millions
died and 21 million were wounded. At the height of the
carnage. The Prime Minister of Great Britain, David Lloyd
George had a private chat with the editor of The Guardian, CP
Scott. If people really knew the truth, said the Prime Minister,
the war would be stopped tomorrow. But of course they
don't know and can't know. The British public were desperate
for Real News. More than half the nation flocked to see an
official propaganda film, The Battle of the song cameras was
so unusual that young troops would shout Hello, Mum as they
marched to the front. And they were heard crying for their
mothers as they died on the battlefield. This was almost
never reported.
What a nice piece of uplifting news, John, that's fantastic.
I'm
going to show my school by donating to no agenda. Imagine
all the people who could do that. Oh, yeah, that'd be fun
All right. All right. All right.

I think annual karma would help. Yeah, you're probably
right on that. Of course, sir. Pals markers. Here you go.
You've got karma.
It's possible that the Putin plus the karma might be divorced
karma.
Oh, okay. Well, if I had known that I would have had it all
queued up, but it would have some go something like this.
You've got karma.

hope it works. Did you know our Grand Duke has been in this
divorce. Can't you just chop the woman's head off already? Grant

Joshua and George they turned 21 Glad we caught up happy birthday
from your buddies, you had the best podcast in the
universe.
And we have no knights, no changes, no titles. No, nuttin.
Because we got no native advertising.
native advertising would save the day. It sure would. And
that's gonna save the country financially and it'll save the
country from riots or protests, or anybody saying no to the
government will be all lockstep in agreement with the police
state, the security state, and all the guys that are listening
in can have the best stock tips in the world and nobody cares.
This doesn't seem like a problem to me. Yeah. What difference
does it make? Since I've been tracking it the zohydro I got a
lot of notes about zohydro. zohydro is the new crazy drug
every but all the kids are talking about it. All the cool
kids are going to take it. Cool. It's better now. Now this is
from NPR. So we've already tracked Forbes magazine, we've,
we track the horse, the TV thing we had from last week. I can't
remember why anyway, it's native advertising. And the way they're
doing it is telling you about all the things that can do all
everything. It's really all of the features of this drug are
being reported as news. This drug has been, you know, the
approval was more than several years ago. But of course, it's
hitting the market, just moments in just days. So now all of a
sudden, we have all this news. And this is I think the point of
the newsletter that you sent out, we don't know anymore if
this is native advertising. Or if this is truly a a health
issue that we need to be so afraid of. Because I don't hear
people talking about Drano under the sink and all other kinds of
horrible products around the house that children could take
and diagnose the best example or just any of this but zohydro
NPR, they're your man the
Food and Drug Administration is under enormous pressure to
change its mind about a powerful new prescription painkiller
powerful, powerful 42 public health groups are urging the FDA
to withdraw its support of zohydro. The drug is similar to
oxycontin except it comes in significantly higher doses
now come on. This is new because they were talking about being
Vikon. In higher doses now it's oxycontin in higher doses, ie.
The FDA approved zohydro Last year despite its own advisory
panel voting against it and critics are among other things,
raising questions about that approval process and peers Laura
Sullivan reports.
When zohydro was released next month, it will be one of the
most powerful prescription painkillers on the market.
Now this story is we're now we're 30 half a minute into the
story. We don't know anything about the groups or whatever we
keep hearing coming out next month. 10 times as powerful as
heroin
its highest dosage will contain five to 10 times as much
hydrocodone as the widely used vikane in their drug companies
literature says an adult could overdose on two capsules don't
just take one. A child could die from swallowing just one pill.
People are going to die from this drug.
Oh man, I want it now. Don't you You want to jump? Look at that
soundbite. That's all the guy said people are going to. Let's
see.
Swallowing just one pill.
People are going to die from this drug.
Dr. Michael Corona is the Director of Health Research for
Public Citizen.
We are in the midst of a public health crisis. There is an
epidemic of opioid addiction, resulting in 1000s of deaths and
the last thing we need now is another high potent high dose
long acting opioid drug zohydro That was simply feed the
epidemic.
I'm sorry, he just gave me everything that that right
there. That's the bumper sticker. It's high. What did you
say it's high dosage high. It's good the name everything long
acting long acting opioid drug zohydro. V. The epidemic nice
overdose deaths and addiction rates from prescription
painkillers similar to zohydro have grown dramatically in
recent years. Chrome and 41 other health no backup health
care advocates are asking the FDA to remove
its appearance no details on the drugs all
bullshit. So hydro is a crushable pill. Ah, here is
the new information that had not gotten out yet with the original
native advertising. It's a crushable pill.
This is very important. This is good. They probably somebody
went back here's the
meeting. Here's the meeting. Hey, hey, who's got the zohydro
account? Hey, do
I got it? Hey, Pete. What's
What's up with this man that clients up my ass? I ask because
you can everywhere but the whole point is the addicts need to
know you can crush the snort crush to snort
Oh, it's not in the spec.
Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me? How many clients
have we done this for we all know the clients their customer
wants to snort this stuff crushed to snort
if they're too stupid to put it in the spec for the sizing
campaign
I need to make I need to make
what they're already willing to
make good Can you can you who do you know can you call someone I
need a national exposure for this thing. Who can you call?
I got can people I can call her. She's got the Rolodex you got
someone?
How about doing it?
Well, we'll get we'll do another round. It's no big deal. It's
that easy. We were already short. The lot of the inventory
is out there waiting to be used anyway,
let me something on NPR so I can send them in charging a little
extra for this bull crap. That's okay. Well, we'll just put it
into the creative. Alright.
That means it's notable. Experts are more prone to abuse than
other drugs. The whole really some experts like your customers
like the new versions of Oxycontin, which are no longer
crushable you see,
we got downplay the competition. Because that new version of
OxyContin it's no longer crushable How long do we can we
keep this going? This crushable stuff?
The drug companies Oh Genex is marketing the drug?
There's a lot of misinformation being put out there by people
get the client in on the story. Get the client can we get the
the market easier? Get the marketing guy they love to get
on the radio? Yeah, we've can we actually can we arrange that
with your NPR contacts and they go actually put the maker of the
product.
That's the no brainer party loves.
There's a lot of misinformation being put out there by people
who don't have all the facts.
Yeah, like those crazy conspiracy, guys.
Dr. Brad Gaylor is the company's chief medical officer. He says
they will in chief medical officer.
There's a title I want for my party planning business. Cmo,
Chief Medical. That's my new thing. John, what do you do? I'm
Chief Medical Officer of the no agenda show.
Okay, I like it introduced a non crushable version of zohydro in
three years. Oh, we
got three years on this puppy. Three years. It's so hard to
come up with a non crushable three year naked
non crushable pill. I asked you I'm asking you right now. I
don't know. Why does it dissolve in the stomach of his non
crushable apparently dissolvable? If it's dissolvable
you can dissolve it and then you can dry the liquid and you got
the powder right there. It's a non no brainer. It's too much
work. And oh maybe the new it's gonna be crushable you can't
make non
oxy cotton is non crushable.
So here I'm looking at I put in zohydro is too easy to abuse
critics say which is a sentence from one of the press releases.
And here it is at whim at Web MD W Dr. B cnn.com. Drugs forum.
steppingstone centre, CBS 12 WP CTV 12 edge. This is like this
is everywhere the story? Yeah, beautiful, beautiful job. Yeah,
it's a Grammy This is Bonanza, Joe
non crushable version of zohydro in three years, and the company
will closely monitor prescription trends for abuse,
it says millions legitimately need this drug.
Okay, listen, let's call this meeting again. I got a real
problem. The client wants a different payoff. They want the
Oreos pay off we got for them on CNN How come we can't get that
for them here? What's wrong with you people?
Don't you remember what you did? What Oreos are just as addictive
as cocaine? No bad to pay off.
Well, that's a different story too. We can't do that. Not gonna
happen. We'll get you a coverage that nationwide coverage we'll
take it right and get it in Canada. Oh, man. emphasise
Florida. Yeah.
Bibi Netanyahu is visiting with the President. Did you people
that they were so
uh Yeah, I saw some pictures that was the President got
something he's got easy got haemorrhoids or something. He
seems to be sitting in a chair all the time all the time.
And of course, he lets a BB talk. Gee, what would his
message be?
I don't know. I find Bibi Netanyahu to be the most
annoying person ever.
Well, we know that we've already locked on to his message. And
he's just here to get more of it out.
This president who rightly said that Israel the Jewish state is
mainly Jewish thing. realisation of the Jewish people's self
determination.
Now he's laying out he's rolling out the whole pitch self
determination,
the whole the whole pitch the whole pitch though,
in ancestral homeland. So the pastor is expect us to recognise
a Palestinian state for the Palestinian people a nation
state for the Palestinians. I think it's about time to
recognise the nation state for the Jewish people. We've only
been there for 4000 years.
Now it's 4000 if we went from 38 to 4030 800
as a hope that he'll he'll take seriously Israel's genuine
security needs. Because as you know, and I think everybody does
in the Middle East, which is definitely the most turbulent
and violent part of the Europe. The only piece that we'll enjoy
is a piece that we can defend and we've learned from our
history Jewish history, but I think from general that the best
way to guarantee peace is to be strong and that's what the
people of Israel expect me to to stand strong against criticism
against pressure stand strong to secure the future of the one and
only Jewish
Okay, okay, we get a
Jewish state what is the point of this meeting to
say Jewish state a whole bunch of times then clearly both none
of these guys neither of these guys are in on what's really
going on. Polly's you know you're not news when when the
only time anyone's heard of you was on the no agenda podcast
you're not doing your job you got to get on that zohydro
campaign people I think it's time that the Israel spend some
real marketing money well
they got they have they're spending marketing money in it
but their problem is I think their agency is stale. You know,
this is the thing I always tell them we got
to go in with some new creative and steal the account. This is
the way it always works and the public relations folks hate me
because I say this commonly says I got this PR is what do you
think of? I said well I'll tell you what, let me give you my
opinion about the public relations game. You hire
somebody and you give you get your best work from them for the
first three months they take the good guy that they put on your
campaign and a guaranteed within within three months if not
sooner they pull the guy no way
would first there's the introduction around month two
hey, I want to introduce you to Tom over here. He's coming along
he's just gonna observe for a little bit account and we're not
charging you for the extra guy on the account we just wanted
Tom to you know, kind of get comfortable with the account and
then of course we have the transition in month three from
Tom Tom ends up with the account Tom's incompetent right of
course he's just a guy he's just a guy whose job it is to hang on
to the account for as long as he can and just keep taking money
from the client yeah that's what all then his you some of these
guys are specialists at it there you have a lot of meetings or
read a lot of memos or on digs give you a lot of statistics or
they looks like they're doing some no fire the agency in 60
days and hire a new agency and tell them that you're didn't
like your other agency they suck they didn't do a very good job.
Here's what they got for us. Can you do better? Oh yeah, yeah,
yeah, we can we put our best people on it. So they put their
best people on it and you get some some good publicity. And
then you fire them and hire the third one. Now this says works
less and less because all these guys have consolidated. Yeah. So
you now you know, the agencies all work for the same WPP
Omnicon or whatever, only come with an icon. It's what it
really is. Why can I say that? Yes, so they will get the word.
Now, if you're going to this fucking guy, he's like firing
and hiring and firing and hiring stinks. This guy is going to use
your best people up and then just throw you away like a wet
dishrag. Screw him, don't take the account, tell him that you
thought they were doing a fine job, and they should stay with
them. And that thou, you can't do that so much in this, but
just enough little independent guys out there. You can do it
with them. And you can find some that are talented. Well, you can
probably do it for about five.
There's also the classic. Yeah, I'm starting my own agency. And
here's Tom, who will be replacing me but I'd love to
have coffee with you. That's the classic where you steal the
client. That's,
that's less and less because of these big companies that are all
these guys. Yeah, but
I think we may well, I think you know, now that I think about it.
Of course, once again, we're stupid because we haven't even
talked today once about the fact that we only Well, you did
briefly but we're only three episodes away from 600. The 600
J goes big 600 Surely crap. But we are missing such an
opportunity. We would be so good for you. You're a great writer.
I'm a good I'm a I'm a pretty good producer. And we should
just be doing native advertising campaigns all the time.
We can we can bring ourselves to it. That's the problem.
Well, I'd have to give up everything. fans on the money.
You know, I
don't know, the way I'm looking at because I know a guy who was
an editor at a major publication who quit to work for Edelman to
do native advertising writing. Yes. Yeah. Well, have you gonna
get paid more?
Have you seen girls the HBO hit series girls couple times? i
What is what is the the Rubenesque? girl she's now
working in native advertising. It's what she does. I
didn't follow that closely. Yeah, Leah, whatever name.
That's not her name.
Your Li is a real name, isn't it? She's a she's the producer.
Yes. Yeah.
I don't think that's a real name. Yes, Leah. No, it's not.
Yeah, Leah. Leah. It's Nancy.
Oh, no. Maybe our stage name is Nancy. But her name is Leah. I
think I could be wrong. I have an appointment the case who
cares? I have an important question to ask you. That's this
is what's going on. This is the whole world is being taken over
by this crap. They promised it. These PR people used to gloat
about everything's from us anyway. So there it is.
All right. I have a serious question before we end the show.
Publishers are responsive. I don't want all right.
Miss mica and I will be celebrating our fifth
anniversary together. In April since we started our
relationship but the only time we have been away together not
you know, just for a rest as been never. It's always been
crap. No, it's not boy to
the island at one time.
What island? Some Island Island?
The show from there. Oh,
yeah. But thank you. That's my point. We're doing the show. We
have not actually how you mean, not do the show. I'm asking if
we can have a meeting about having one Sunday off.
Ah, I don't tell if you can handle it. You're the one that
really needs to do the show isn't
fine. Yeah. She wants to take me to this place in Mexico.
Ooh, I know. Dunk donkey show.
I'm hoping Tom
flew Fox I believe.
And she's looked at it and because of it's only an hour and
a half to fly to Mexico, but you can't fly on a Sunday after the
show. Right? And it's all it's really complicated and then to
get back to take show 600
No, no, no, I I'm requesting a meeting if it will be possible
to have Sunday April 20 off now I have to explain five you know
what five is five was a significant anniversary. It's
would
be the last word you'll get
right. The material writes itself in this in this
particular case. So if you don't mind I'd like to discuss we
might you know because we would actually like to leave on Friday
and go for a couple days through the Sunday not have to work and
not have to do the show. You know, do some woods celebration
with the donkeys just think about it. Kept thinking I you
know, it's like this is the one time and five. We really need
some. We need some US time.
Yeah, okay. Yeah, well We'll chat. I you know, I'm amenable
to different approaches to this. Yeah. And maybe, except guy can
do put a clip show together that wouldn't hurt. Yeah, you know,
just make the run something.
I also well, I also thought maybe if we took one Sunday off,
people would realise how crappy it is, if we're not there.
Well, the clip show would probably make up for it. I don't
think people should begin to realise such things. I because
I'm not here to torment and torture our contributors,
producers and listeners. No,
no, I understand. But, you know, we've done Hot Pockets tours. I
know we've done a lot we've continuously worked during the
during vacations. I will say I got I got a I got off one show
off for the wedding.
Yeah, necessary. But you know, Miss Mickey's working
really hard. She's done her art show here. And she needs a
break. And she's trying to make you know, make up the shortfall
with selling stuff. Uh huh. So that was
considered a threat, but Okay, go on. Hey,
you want to come?
No, I do not want to go to Mexico.
You don't want to see the donkey show?
The donkey show the donkey show. There's other aspects of that
show that apparently quite entertaining.
All right. wrap us up here. John Claude, what you got? You want
to do you want to play want to get out? Do you want to go?
I can play that one. I think we can play this. I think we got a
wrap up of Venezuela. People want to talk about that. It's
pretty good. We can do that. France. 24. But I want to play
that I'd rather play. We can we'll talk about Venezuela,
folks. Eventually. ABCs report on the queen.
Ah, ah, this this is going to be good. Is this a Diane Sawyer?
Oh, yes. Oh, well, hello. That's not just ABC. That's Diane.
Side, dial John again.
And someone got to kind of royal reality check today the Queen of
England and her family. A scolding new report wanting them
to start tightening the belt. They have apparently run through
a fortune. Here's ABC is Terry Moran.
Think of the British Royal Family and you think of opulence
and grandeur and magnificent events. You'd never believe
they're nearly broke. They are. Well let them personally but the
royal household, the official department that runs all their
palaces and properties. 360 buildings 1000s of employees. A
scathing report in the British Parliament found that the
Queen's public accounts are down to less than a couple of million
bucks. Privately she's still fabulously rich but her public
finances and her palace are a mess. Buckingham Palace looks
great on the outside. But behind the scenes this place is in
desperate need of repairs. The roof is leaking central heating
needs replacing and chunks of stone are falling off the
building in danger and members of the know. The report demanded
that the Queen and her family tighten their belts and find
ways to make more money like by bringing more pain tourists into
Buckingham Palace only open 78 days a year now. In contrast, a
White House is open all year round. The Queen's defenders say
the Royals make Britain billions every year in tourism. And that
Elizabeth herself is a frugal
housekeeper at night for looking around the palace. And if
there's some lights on she goes and switches them off.
She can always Hawk the jewellery.
That let me is that ABC World News Tonight? Yes, that's great.
Well, that was native advertising. If I ever heard it,
it probably was and we now know that the Queen switches off the
lights herself.
And I've been to one of her palaces. I agree. It's a
dump. Is it is a dump? Really? Yeah. Do
they have a towel dispenser on the wall so you can't rip it
off? You know? Can't take soaps or anything they got no
fuel grab souvenirs left and right. They go inside
and that kind of the point? Yeah, should have
this place the souvenirs meant to be stolen. That's what you're
supposed to do,
honestly stolen from the Queen's palace. Exactly. All right,
everybody. We will have another show on Sunday. And I'm sure
we'll have lots more to see we have some entries into the Red
Book. What will happen with the Ukraine,
Russia,
and its Laila
Skull and Bones of Venezuela exactly the skull and bones the
dailies, the dailies in the Kaylee's. And you know that you
can always come to no agenda to get that unfettered free of bull
crap native advertising.
Right now. It's everywhere. It's a plague. The plague it is here
in SEMA region six in the capital of the drone star
states, Austin, Texas in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam
curry,
and from Northern Silicon Valley, where we're three shows
away from show 600 I'm John C. Dvorak.
We'll be back on Sunday right here. On no agenda
