Just in time for summer, don't you want to feel really good
about your complexion? All you have to do is listen to the no
agenda show. We'll even throw in a free bright coin just for
$33.33 It's going on right now all summer long right here at no
agenda. show.com Adam curry, John C. Dvorak. It's Saturday
July 31 2010. Time here Gitmo nation media assassination
episode two to two. This is no agenda. I am your humble agent
known as the former Soviet spy. I come to you from the hilltop
Watchtower crackpot command center and Gizmo nation Western
the People's Republic of Southern California. Yay. In the
morning, I'm Adam curry
and from Northern Silicon Valley where it's Saturday and nothing
happens until I say hit it. I'm John C. Dvorak. Greg Levin
Buzzkill.
And it's so true. We wait for you to tell me to hit it. And
then boy, do I?
I should change these to slam it.
No, in the morning, John, in the morning
to you and to all the listeners and all the ships at sea and HR
people.
What do I get to say anything now? You're just stealing? All
right, you already took my chips and see and now you're taking my
human resources. I won't stand for it to
get the Human Resources thing. I have to be honest about it.
Where does that come from?
It's human resources. We are all we are as just sources of energy
for the euro. I
see what you're doing. You're you're referring to the
listeners. I thought you were talking to some specific human
resource. No,
I always say if you've ever listened to me, which we know
you don't I always say well, who does in our human resources at
no agenda chat.com who are standing by and are all charged
up and ready for our government? Because they they like us that
way.
Get it? Oh, now I get it. Yeah.
I'd like to start off. Today, John with something funny
happened. Something funny happened yesterday. I did the
computer America show.
Oh, yes. Right. You were on? Apparently the whole show for
two hours. Did you listen to any of it by now?
Oh, yeah. Yeah. Oh, definitely. Definitely, definitely.
Well, you missed. Of course you didn't. Well, you missed some
real fun stuff. I decided to stream it live my end on a no
agenda stream, which is great. Because of course, I sent out
the bad signal on the right. To live out of your hand. Okay.
Right. And so everyone was in the chat room. And so, you know,
this was probably the best promotion I ever could have done
to show people why we are listener supported. I mean, it
was it was the guy was it really nice guy, sweet guy. I'm sure
he's a nice guy. Well, this is not this is the co host, because
I guess the regular guy was on vacation. They're both pretty
hairy, right? Yeah. Yeah. But he was by himself. And, you know,
so there's only 30 minutes in each hour of talk time anyway.
And he'd come back from a break. And he'd start talking and
talking and talking. And I'm not kidding. Like five minutes, he'd
be talking. And then finally he'd like, oh, yeah, I got to
ask him a question. And I start with my answer. And like, well,
what's time for a break? It's like, every single time. It's
like, Oh, my God, this is unbelievable. And maybe he just
doesn't have a lot of experience with, you know, a guest host or
whatever. When he's by himself. So it was just a little weird. I
started at a certain point, I'm like, he was he was in a four
minute soliloquy, and I just went swear to God, I was just
like, off shooting bullets at him. You know, I did. I did
that. He's like, Oh, I just got shot. I said, Yes, you did. You
know, I'm still here. But anyway, our producers in the
chat room, they were having none of this. They were just they
were like, Oh my God, these commercial breaks, etc. And then
the phone lines opened up. I'd like to share a short bit of one
phone call. You can only imagine that. It was our producers
calling in
on the line. You've got another caller. And hopefully still
there. John is listening to us in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. John,
do we have you on the line? Yes, I'm here. Hey, John. Thanks for
holding.
I wanted to touch on a subject you had mentioned earlier in the
show about someone starting a project and not finishing it.
Here's my situation. I woke up in the morning. And I had this
idea to make these rings. And I had a designer think these rings
are like medieval rings. They have an emblem on them. And I
had producers lined up as members of a roundtable and it
seemed like I was always just working on my advice from Adam
on what I needed to do to get these things done.
My kids so funny when you're gonna finish cleaning the
office.
But what was funny, Carrie didn't get it. And a certain
point he's like, Well, you know, maybe you couldn't sell these at
a renaissance fair. And then he started I swear to God, he
started talking about swords and stuff. And I'm like, you know,
I'm doing this. I'm
never gonna get it. No, I
don't think so. But it was one point, he actually asked an
interesting question, you know, and it was about the DMCA. You
know, the, the ruling that you can jailbreak phones and stuff,
and I started answering, and then he started disagreeing. And
so I'm like, Oh, this is gonna be good. And then it's a
commercial break. And then it's like, he never brought it up
again, you know? And at the end of the show, he's like, Oh, I'd
love to talk with you one day, but it was like all about he was
trying. He's a no agenda fan. He may be listening. I hope he is
because he, it would be good for him to learn a few things. You
if he, you know, I think he really wanted he was almost like
doing a no agenda type show. But he was doing it by himself.
Yeah. Well, you know, he's also you, you're tied up. You're
hamstrung by the by the shore? Man. That's the real problem.
Yeah, it's true. And in fact, this is the case with Public
Radio, it's okay with you have a clock. I mean, even though
public radio supposed to be, you know, so supposedly non
commercial, it's very commercial.
All of that in, I was able to talk about all that stuff.
Right, right.
Stuff goes on, you know, the clock is like, it's usually a
hard clock, because most of the shows are syndicated. And so you
have a moment at the 20 minute mark, where you just have to
stop. Yeah, because it goes to the local station for them to do
a spot or say something or introduce themselves or
whatever, promo their own material, and you don't have a
lot, there's no leeway. So if you're right in the middle of
something where the guy is really going to say something
important. I mean, you really have to you can't do it, you
just can't continue conversations, you can't get on
a roll
you got you got to stop right then and there. And it was it
was and when we were actually talking about this very topic,
and we were interrupted by an ad and of course, the guy has to
defend his his model. Anyway, there's a I'll find a link to
it. But someone recorded the entire stream. So they actually
hear what's happening during the commercial breaks, while Carrie
and I are talking off air and so it was just it was it was
hilarious. And I and what was going on in the chat room. It
was just there was a whole secondary show happening. That
happened outside of the entire computer America show, but I
appreciate the airtime Of course. Because somewhere
someone heard it and is probably tuning in because of it.
Yeah, so what the fuss is about
well, what what was what was that curry talking about?
That's where the whole world is headed. If we don't if we're not
careful, that's the problem. And that's why we're doing the show
the way we do it. I mean, that that, and 10 other reasons. I
mean, it's not the only reason we have a slew of reasons, all
rationalizations in some way. But we've just made the decision
we do have some producers to announce as we go, you know, we
go from nobody, you know, one person producing last show and
now we got 1234566 Executive Producers. No, we got 1234
Exactly. We have a forager, but we're gonna bunch of four
executive producers and two associates three knighthoods, a
three knighthoods. Yeah, it's funny because the DUI dash help
fellow. Joshua Dale, he, you know, I guess he got us on the
night program $50 a month and I guess at some point, he got
tired of waiting. Wait, you start itching after a while, you
know, people are getting their knighthoods and you're sitting
there and you're, you know, so he decided just to cough up $350
Just just to get their
tired of waiting for the race. And
yeah, I have other analogies, but yeah, okay.
So first of all, we have our let me find the right email.
This is Paula couture. Right
Paul couture, who is doing the coin challenge and donating the
majority of the of the profits and to the no agenda show.
Yeah, this is no agenda fans.com is where you can, you can order
your coins these things are absolutely off the hook. John,
everyone is loving them. And the price is right is like $33.33.
Of course, if you want an attractive display case, there's
some some added stuff. But it's such a beautiful project that
Paul has put together and boy do we encourage this kind of stuff.
Yeah, no, it's it's just a stroke of genius. So he in fact,
he thinks he's going to be able to bring in 12 Nights, which he
could probably do is but this this week, the credit for the
donation goes to I don't know whether Paul wants us to put him
as the executive for
I think he's the executive producer but the night James
Adams and it will be that night. Okay. Ron Paul couture, with
$667.44 DUI help.com which is actually attorney Joshua M.
Dale,
we're putting DUI help.com Because he wants that he
wants it. Yeah, yeah, it's a plug. So they produced the show
executive produce 350 Matthew Payton. Roger would know what
maybe he'd said send an email but I don't remember it Deltona,
Florida will dig around and look into what we're doing the show
333 66 Hmm. So I don't know what that was.
Maybe. No, that wouldn't make sense. I would make
it actually add three more. Two more three. So it actually
333 3333 dot 33 thread Never mind. Just like a computer
manual. Like Apple's new operating system. Point four.
Point 3.7 Jeffrey Yang in New York.
New York, New York.
New York, New York. 333 33. John M. Love the show. Proud to be an
executive producer of eggs. Episode two to two. I need
karma. Lots of karma from my job health and family. Like what do
you how much calmer do you need?
Well, he'll get to know his situation.
Well, I know but he's should be focusing his karma. Greg Lennox,
Hornsby Heights, New South Wales. $200. We're finally
getting some people out of the country again. Yes. We have to
do more news.
I always do. When I have four stories today. I'm always
looking at learning
some karma from my girlfriend's had a rough few months. She
doesn't listen to the show.
Well, there you go. That's me. That's That's why she's had a
rough few months,
listening to it loudly in the next room. So she needs some
karma she needs. Why don't you show it's a family show. Take
her out for dinner. Yeah, give her dinner. Yeah, give it an
agenda to enter. But enter in some lovin. Yeah, but thanks.
Hey, Meyer Wynwood. Pennsylvania is also an executive. Who can
Craig Meyer? Yeah, no, no, these are associate executives. Oh,
hold on a second. So and Craig. It's a random number theory at
work. We have to Craig's in a row both giving $200 to Craig's
$200. In the second Craig and Craig Meyers in Wynwood,
Pennsylvania. Keep up the good work. He says. Thanks for the
show. So that's it.
Wow, this is great.
Too good group. Yeah, yeah. This.
This is very,
very prompt. It's just what you need just before you go off on
your vacation,
while I also on daily source code. Yesterday, I told everyone
about my acrobatic move. What the, the soft exit from the MVNO
company.
Oh, good, then we want to bore people stiff?
Well, no, it means that I'm still involved with the company.
I'm still a shareholder only I don't get paid. That's
essentially what it means. So
yeah, but you get paid in stock. Oh, yeah. Oh, I'm
sorry. Yeah, no, that's called founder stock that was mine. To
start with. I gave out the rest of the other dudes paid in
anything, my company. But I think my salary is better used
for people who will actually do some work over there. So I can
do some work here on this show, which I'm happy about. But of
course, now I'm going to need some actual support. And there
you go. You close the door, another one opens. Look what
happens. That's how karma works. Right?
That's what they say on TV shows.
So thank you all for your executive producer to producer
ships, Paul couture, DUI help.com Matthew Payton Jeffrey
Yang. And of course our Associate Executive Producers
Craig Lennox and Craig Meyer will be thinking other people
during our Thank you segment a little bit later on. Meanwhile,
we need everyone to go out there and propagate the formula. Our
formula is this. We go out we get people in the mouth

can use them as an official Hollywood credit and I would
like to give you some credit John for making the new page at
divorce.org/na Looks really nice.
Yeah, yeah, web page.
up the ante. Welcome to 2010
I dropped my old HTML editor and move to Dreamweaver.
Boy, I don't know if that's
like five years you know, it's like yeah, this is fine. All you
need is just a couple of code words up there. Tables are okay
tables
right blink tag is good.
It's really never used the blink tag. Oh, it's still a funny
idea. I think it still works those I think I don't know I
think it still works within the with the Yeah, I may put a put
one on for a short time to see what it does. But
I was really upset when They decide to take it out. It's like
hey, you know just because it's irritating and everyone in the
world is using it. What do you mean who died and went to heaven
and made you guys boss of leaving the building tag think
that's terrible. That blink tag? Yeah, blink tag is and it's
ruining. It's ruining the internet. It's ruining it. I
remember that. I used to get a little, the little
gif, animated GIF icon of the cat running back and forth
across the screen.
Do you remember when images used to come in as interlaced, and
they'd load like, top to bottom black and white first? And it
would take you like five minutes? Like oh, yes, the
images.
You can still save of lot of files as interlaced. And it'll
still of course it doesn't so quickly. You don't see it. You
don't
see it? Yeah, well, that was cool. Back in the day. Oh, cool.
It
was I still think and the mailbox opening and closing Oh,
that was a good one. I've been wanting to put one of these what
I calls in an insane site, you know people who are not on the
internet I mean people that are criminally insane or at least
insane not necessarily criminally. They always have the
same they when they put webpages up about some some flying
saucers alien something or you know, right, we're saying
energy, you know, the website. You do? They would? It's it's
usually everything all the text is centered? Yeah. Yeah. And
it's in the biggest font that they can find is
in colors, colors, colors,
colors, is your red on black. And you're like,
is it a link? No, it's just a color. And it goes down
to China. It just goes on forever. And, you know, there's
and then all along the way, there's all these animated GIFs.
It's like the guy's typing away, or is one word is one page. He
goes find an animated GIF.
And here's another one for you from the archives, red ball dot
GIF. That was a huge one. I think maybe mtb.com was one of
the first websites to use the red ball dot GIF, which was like
a little bullet point. Remember that? Oh, yeah. The bullet point
you read you Google red ball dot GIF. You'll see it right there.
And it's still exist. So someone sent me a Google thing yesterday
that I thought was just hilarious. If you if you spell
Illuminati backwards, and you type that into your browser, so
that's, I tend imali it a NIMULLI. And of course the.com
is added automatically by Firefox. It goes to the NSA
website, which I thought was
been Google washed.
No, no, no, it's someone registered. That domain name is
just forwarding it to the NSA. Some guy in Utah or something
now here it is. Yeah, Utah. John, pontiff EA. Good. Good
job, John. That's funny. in Provo.
Oh, that's where they keep some of the stuff.
Well, maybe. Maybe he's maybe he's with a company who knows?
Hey, because possible could be one of those jokes ahead. Watch
this. Screw up. I mentioned the war I can Korea be talking about
that. Eventually. They'll buy it. Hey, some nefarious law
passed which is really honking me off. Okay, march 31. The pact
prevent all cigarette trafficking?
Have you heard of this? No, I did not. And this is news to me.
Yeah, the pact law prevent all cigarette trafficking was signed
into law by Congress. effective June 29 2010. Cigarettes
including roll your own tobacco, which I am a user of smokeless
tobacco and non malleable matter. They are now non Malley,
malleable non mailable matter and cannot be shipped using the
US Postal Service or by common carrier such as UPS and FedEx.
And this is a big problem. Because I smoke old Holborn
blue, and people mail it to me. And not anymore. Well, they have
been mailing it to me. They'll have the tobacco sniffing dogs
at the airport. I'm telling you. It but now it's like it
trafficking. It's now a drug.
Yeah. You've been snookered my friend.
Well, there are some exceptions.
Once you get a grandfather, great grandfather your
grandfather me.
Hey, Grandfather me into the pact I need my old Holborn. This
is a real problem because you can't get this stuff in America.
And now when people can't mail it to me they're gonna have to
come up with creative ways. Especially Well, I know I got a
shipment after was illegal. So they don't have the dogs in yet.
Believe me, you got a shipment yesterday?
No, this was a June 29. I definitely received a package
after that date.
But you know, it's one of those things you're not going to be
able to enforce that what your what your problem is, is not as
unenforceable you just have you know, it's like I could name a
few other things that go on it. Just don't get enforced.
Yeah, name one.
No,
you couldn't. But you don't feel like it right now?
No, no, I just don't want to name it.
However, the White House meanwhile has asked Congress to
give clear authority to the FBI to obtain records related to the
context of emails and other internet based communications
without first obtaining a warrant from a judge. This is,
Oh, really? Yes, this is according to The New York Times
the newspaper of the Ministry of Truth.
So that's interesting. I was just watching I just for this
show, instead of watching my normal, you know, series of
shows I've got went left wing, so I decided to watch you know,
farm and Democracy Now. All this stuff. By the way, I'm watching
Tom Hartman. You watch him or you listen to him. I watch him
TV show. Well, it's a basically a recording of his radio webcam.
But he plays it as a TV show. It's very poorly done. And it's
a cheap production. Let's put it that way. So my daughter's here
and she's like, watching the show with me because I'm sure
here's a good clip. And I go back and forth and, and she's
out of the blue says, I was led to believe that I wouldn't when
I was younger, that I wouldn't have to watch this crap. What
she excuse me the claim that this kind of propaganda is not
as she shouldn't be even exposed to it, because there was some
promise made to her in some dimension somewhere. So wouldn't
ever have to be subjected to this horrible TV show. Oh, wait
a minute, who made the promise you I don't know. She just comes
out of the blue with this thing. She's
I guess she doesn't like the Tom Hartman show.
Well, of course, not. Very intelligent young lady. But But
do you did not carry her on where once you mentioned this,
and she
says that she didn't say she just wouldn't tell me she just
said this ship so objectionable, and she was led to believe as a
kid that she wouldn't be subjected to it.
And she gave you a look and turned around and went back to
Facebook.
And as she watched it a little longer, but because I was
groaning about things. Alright, so what a thumb have to say in
regards to a couple of interesting things that showed
up on these shows
in regards to the FBI now being able to get our email without a
warrant, which seems kind of like unconstitutional.
Well, here's what gets me is the let me get to the right page
here. Here's what gets me both the thumb Hartmann show and the
cracks me up. Let me just say fom it's gotta piss him off. He
did like
he listens. Oh, you never know. It's like, all they are is
preoccupied with this Arizona law.
Here's what Jay said. It's you dad. All right. I learned by
watching you.
And know. It's like, they're so preoccupied with this Arizona
law. And they're and they have a guy I have to play a clip. I've
got a clip of a whole slew of protesters.
Yeah, this is the they they protested the Arizona
immigration law
in New York. Great, isn't it? And they're covering it like
it's big news. And then they play all these dimwits. This is
I'm from democracy. Now. I've got a clip here. They play all
these dimwits who have sent me some of the dumb either they're
they've got a vested interest or they're stupid one of the two.
And it just goes on and on and on. And as I watched this, I got
really angry at my course I thought I was intrigued by this
is that here's this thing like there's no war, this warrantless
searching habeas corpus to wars, one in Afghanistan and one in
Iraq. Nobody's cares about that. People are actually dying. But
people in New York City care about Arizona's laws which are
state laws for their own people within the state.
It boggles the mind boggles wasting
their energy on this.
Because they're panty wastes.
Let's play that clip.
Elon is from the organization la neon in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, I
think it's important that everybody raise their voices
against
SB 1070. And all their bills that try to criminalize
immigrants, immigrants are or friends, or co workers or
neighbors, and they contribute to this country. So we should
stand up now and really recognize their contributions.
My name is Kevin Davis. I'm actually a youth organizer for
the ye network, which is youth activists, youth allies, and
there's your
clue right there a youth organizer? Yeah. Obama. Yeah.
These are people brought in to do this, I guess. Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Honestly, we're all one country and we're all united. So the
fact that one state is hurting all of us and the fact that one
race is hurt and all of us are hurt
I'm Clementina from my ma sonidos. We are here to support
our brothers and sisters from my dishonor. SB 1070 affects us
everywhere. We started to see our street vendors right here in
New York, when as soon as the law was applied over there in
Arizona, a week later, they were asking us for our immigration
status to renew our vendor's license, we'll take our vendor
license. So my name is monamy morlich. And I'm the executive
director of drum drum stands for bases rising up and moving.
Whatever happens in Arizona, those same anti immigrant
policies find their way up all throughout the United States.
For the last 10 years, Arizona has been a testing ground for
anti immigrant policies. Its anti illegal immigrant policy.
They've never word illegal is never used amongst anybody. I
don't understand.
John, Mo, and you got another minute and a half. I'm sure it's
all more of the same crap
lead since there's some goodies in here. Well, then, do what you
understand what
why not why is this such a big deal? It seems so I mean, I
understand people say Oh, this isn't you know, oh, now we
asking for I was vice betta and asking for your papers and all
of this. But at the end of the day, illegal illegal
immigration, why are people moving this over towards just
immigration? What is the agenda here? There is an agenda. I just
don't understand it.
Yeah, do you? Well, I mean, I, I don't know what it what it is at
the base. But I can tell you that it's a there's a it's just
a progressive thing about you know, you want to get I don't
know what to say, I don't know. It's okay. If you do I mean, I
think I know but it would I would if I whatever I actually
think I know is really part of another narrative that is
developed by the right wing talk show guys, and I'm not sure that
they're really catching what's really going on either. So I'm
not gonna you know, I don't know.
I think it's just the government wants more cheap slaves let them
in.
Well, there's that element. I mean, that's where the
Republicans are all for it.
Cheap slavery. It's beautiful. It's a beautiful thing. And
you're not actually shackled or anything but you're you're
cheap. Actually, they are shackled by the fear that you're
gonna get found out. Yeah, that's a that's definite form of
slavery.
Yeah, no, it's it's a form of slavery. And it's encouraged by
the progressives is definitely if you want to take it to that
level is definitely a form of slavery. Maybe
they need to do a fractal and maybe they need to, in order to
stop the legalization of marijuana, they have to say that
the Mexicans are all crazy again from smoking it. That's what
they did originally, right? It was the crazy, the wacky
Mexicans are smoking that wacky weed, they're going nuts. To
show we play some more of this because there's some
there's a couple of one liners in it. I want to comment on,
okay,
harshest anti immigrant policies. And so for example,
the governor of New York State signed Secure Communities
already in New York, which has not yet gone into effect, but
will and when it does. Rotation, just across the river, the
governor signed the 287 G program, authorizing police
officers to arrest people based on immigration status. So we
feel that Arizona, maybe that law is not happening here. But
there are many other harsh anti immigrant deportation provisions
that our communities are feeling right here in New York City.
My name is Sarah and I'm part of the boycott Arizona New York
City Committee. We had a press conference for support a
resolution God how
many groups are here? This is how many groups are there
there's 1000s of we've got drum
we've got blue blue blob
Yeah, I know and they're all the same kind of group they're all
pretty much organized by the world's Workers Party world
slave party so so this this this boycott Arizona thing she goes
on and on with some bogus crap that she thinks is gonna get
through they're gonna boycott Arizona. I mean, this is all I
mean, it's like LA said they're gonna boycott Arizona and they
got that note about you Would you like you? Would you really
do like that water we're sending you don't you? Think is so fine.
They haven't heard anything since then? Of
course not. Well, here's what gets me.
But this is by the way, this is this is illegal, this violation
of interstate commerce. You can't do these kinds of things
the state the state gets they can't declare war on another
state.
Yes, we can do whatever we want. We're in California. Yay, man.
We're the People's Republic. We can do whatever we want. But
this is the mistake. So what does it cost a Mexican to
illegally enter the United States a couple grand right you
you get some guy and he's got a van and he leads you through the
desert and through the hole in the fence whatever I get
tourists the tourism thing. Look, I'm Mickey is here legally
in the United States. She has a social security number. And
here's how it works. It costs $325 which you pay to the
Department of Homeland Security. However, if you add an
additional $1,000 You get the expedited service. I kid you not
it's 1325 something like that we learned from the Chinese 1325
And then in like A day in like a day he was like, Okay approved.
So they're just spending the money on the wrong people. All
you have to do is just give them a give a check the Department of
Homeland Security. Let's do this. You're just doing it the
wrong way. I don't understand the problem. You don't have to
sneak in we welcome you as long as you pay.
I am baffled by the whole thing. I mean, it's a I'm baffled by
the protests. I'm baffled by the the emphasis. The emphasis is
what baffles me the most I mean, yeah, we got, I mean, if
somebody sent me a thumb Hartmann program, blog posting,
where they bitched about, you know, FBI forcing companies in
the phone company to provide internet service turn over the
FBI details of your personal internet activity without a
court order fines on some blog post. But this is not what the
emphasis on the show is either democracy now or Hartman or any
other of the progressive shows. They are preoccupied with this
with these protests. And then the joke of it is the protests
in Arizona. A judge overthrows basically overthrows the law,
they have to go really back to the drawing board to do it the
way they want to do it. But the protests against the law are
continuing anyway because and then when you listen to the guys
that give a rationale, well, they're gonna keep fighting it.
So we might as well protest, you know, you want in other words,
you when you've won, essentially the battle because the courts
throughout the law, more or less, but you're gonna protest
anyway, because you've already scheduled it. And what are these
a bunch of bureaucrats?
By the way, Mickey would like me to point out that her
immigration status is based upon the fact that she has an
exceptional talent and is therefore welcome here in the
United States. It's not because she's on par with someone who
will clean the floor. But that she's she's she gets really
angry when I say it's just you know, she gets angry when I say
you just bought him. She's like she's listening to you. Of
course, she listens. She only listens to my side, though. She
doesn't listen to you.
Care about the show. Now she's got
she's getting the best part right here, baby.
put your pants back on. I
got to get 43 seconds left on this. Let's wait some more and
then we'll get off. We're done with it.
0224 and City Hall This Tuesday. The resolution? Oh 224 is a
declaring of an official boycott against Arizona state. And that
would mean any business travel that would be going in Arizona
would be would be barred. Anyone from here going there? municipal
bonds would not be accepted from Arizona. Also conventions and
any type of business we just would not we would not hold
on American Shut up. I don't want to hear it. No words.
So how do you how does the how do you stop the buyer? Oh, well,
who's gonna use the What do you mean? You can't buy municipal
bonds from Arizona? That's ridiculous. Ridiculous. You
gotta love it, though. It's a long clip. So it gives me
something to
Hey, good news, though, John. Good news. Good. Good. Good
news. Good news for El Presidente Ay, ay lo precedenti.
On Face the Nation. This past Well, I guess that was was it
Sunday? Yeah. The 25th. Yeah, this past Sunday. We finally
found out the true nature and true birthplace of our
president. It was on television. And I had it I had the clip to
prove it. I missed it. Yes. Here it comes.
Michael, Eric Dyson, Georgetown, you wanted to get into this
discussion when we went to when we went to commercial break. A
couple of things. First of all, I agree with that THERNSTROM
that look, there is an enormous ratcheting up of the incivility
of racial discourse in America. But the problem is not that we
offer criticism, but Mr. Obama, Mr. Obama, I met with him a
couple of weeks ago in the Oval Office. He is quite receptive to
criticism, principled criticism and criticism that's rooted in I
think, intellectual difference and even theological or
political difference. But the reality is that when you see
elements of the Tea Party, portraying him as some African
witch doctor, when you see elements of the far right wing
acidly in a surgically refuting his humanity, what other
president has been subjected to the scrutiny over his birth
certificate when it's been proved that he is from Earth, so
to speak? Yeah.
This guy's Ebonics are amazing, by the way.
Yeah, I did hear that. From
it's been proved by baby. It's that's all it takes. Now. Take
your papers with you. And Mickey's gonna just take your
papers, papers and papers. Oh, by the way, before I forget, she
is so pissed off because she wants she wants to buy alcohol
or tobacco, which we have been known to consume. As she has her
Dutch driver's license. She doesn't have her. We have to get
our us our California state driver's license and she has are
Dutch passport and they will not accept that as valid ID
let me just That's it. I'm glad you brought that up because I
this happened I was over with JC at the pyramid brewery to try
some new beer. And, and JC looks you know he's 25 or whatever.
But he's, you know, he looks like he's 17 And if you wanted
to be
Mickey does I mean Mickey looks young. But you know, she doesn't
look like she's under 21
No, she doesn't. But actually, she does not. You mentioned
Mickey, it looks like she's about 16
She's already gone. She took her papers through by Bluetooth.
Good try.
Good try always works, though. I've done
it. But let me tell you why they're refusing
that let me continue to. Okay, so we go in there and the guy
says no, you get in Berkeley now utilities. You can't you pulls
out his passport. What better ideas? This is the papers we're
talking about? pulls out his password. No, it's new, good. It
has to be a state and official state ID or your driver's
license. And I said, What?
Yeah. And I looked this up, because Mickey came home fuming.
And she's on the phone to Ralph's. And she's like, I want
the manager, you know? She's going off there. And she's,
she's going off, man. I'm like, Okay, I'm baby, let me look this
up for you. It turns out that it is not absolutely not a law,
that you have to have a state ID. However, it is, of course,
the responsibility of the place selling the tobacco or liquor,
that if if they catch someone underage buying any of these
products, then regardless, the store is in big trouble. So it's
store policy that it has to be a California or in this case,
California, but a state a state identification, and this because
of the eye, hair color, eye color, hair color, and height
are not on all passports. And pictures are not always in
color. And there's all these really stupid little things, but
it is not a law. It is absolutely not a law that it has
to be a state ID. But the but somehow people have gotten that
into their noggins that it has to be and it's irritating. Of
course when I go to pick anything up they don't even ask
me for Id like a old man. Here you go smoke up. Yeah, but she
gets she's had at once at the gas station at the gas station
for cigarettes. And then for alcohol at
this ridiculous this state is crap. They claim at the pyramid
brewery that it was the Berkeley police that made the decision
bullshit.
That's not just it's just not true. I looked it up I looked at
I looked at all the state state legislature that all the laws if
they just have to be able to not sell products to someone who's
underage however they prove it, they could measure your feet. It
doesn't make any difference. It is not a requirement that it has
to be a state ID so they lie. Yeah, but I also only have a
passport and I have a Dutch driver's license, which is even
worse, which actually expires in a month. I gotta get my my chest
pain in the ass DMV on a deal.
To get ready to wait in long lines. This is a very
interesting contrast of the Washington State DMV, you walk
in. You walk right up to the counter, they give
you a cappucino
pretty close. Have a pizza. So dark. So you go up there you
walk into the counter, which is nobody there. They you fill out
the form around the spot. They stamp some stuff. They give you
your license right there on the spot. They give you the tags for
your car right on the spot. And you're out of there in five
minutes. I got to take the test actually. Well, you'd have to
take a test too, but
a driving test. I have to take the driving test. Yeah, you have
to take a huge course you do. Crazy Dutch guy.
But I have a valid license from another park. Here's the test
can you park and can you feed the meter? Yes, just
remember one thing they all have a couple of tricks in there. One
of them is when you make a right turn. Do not this is one of the
tricks for the driving test for anyone out there was the drive
to get the lighting calibrated varies by the way from state to
state. For example, when you make a left turn in California
into a into a say a six lane road you go in across you can
get you can actually go into any of the lanes
the test, the test is on a on a closed like basketball on the
street. Oh
they don't sense when
not Mickey went down there to check it out. And she said
there's a couple of pylons and you drive around and you
parallel park and you're done. It's pretty lame.
Street. That's awesome. Well, we'll see. Well, you never know
but whatever the case is, the tricky question is is when you
make a right by the way in Washington state when you make a
left turn like that you have to go to the one lane only that
near the lane nearest to you. When you make a right turn in
California you have to keep it in the right lane. You can't
veer into the next lane over when you're making a right turn.
You have to be tight and make keep it into that Otherwise
there's an illegal right turn. So that's the trick
even if there's an arrow in your lane,
if there's an arrow in your lane, you have to go still turn
into the right lane errors to you. You can't go zooming into
the fast lane.
Another tip from John C. Dvorak.
I have a million of them we love it. So here's a story I want to
play with we're on the pulp political thing and I got all
these clips from these funny word
on politics never happens.
Well, here's one I got it was it was get go the thumb Hartman
show and
give me some
okay here you know your buddy wiener.
Anthony Wiener from Brooklyn, Brooklyn. Yeah, that guy? Yeah.
The Jon Stewart's former roommate.
Yeah. So he blew up in Congress, right? Yeah.
Well, didn't we play this clip when he blew up and then they
they made him take it back. Take it back. That was all about the
Republican I think it was with health care.
This one, this is another healthcare. This just happened?
Well, the guy I'm sure he does it more than once. Yeah, we
because he likes to get on TV. He's an angry young man. He
always loves getting over a health care for victims of 911.
His specific health care.
Oh, yeah. So and he is Chuck Schumer's? Boy, by the way,
Chuck Schumer has
just signed him but he doesn't get you know, he keep a lid on
it. He's gonna get marginalize it. He's, well, this guy. He's,
he's going all the way. I mean, he's trying he's not gonna make
it. It'll make senator and that's gonna be the congressman.
Yeah, you know, go to Senate and that's the end of him. That's a
step up. It is a step up. So. So Hartman had this clip, I had the
clip from C span, but then Hartman had had the same clip,
but he was doing voiceovers and making comments. And he's
talking about wiener kicked his body kicked his ass, he kicked
it, you know, it's like the heart. My husband sounds like a
12 year old in a schoolyard fight. When wiener comes up and
blows up at this at this representative, and this is very
not too dissimilar from the other time he blew up. And
so the issue at hand is apparently there was some
legislation that got voted down that would have given victims of
911 survey health benefits, some extra fee, free health care. Do
we know why it was voted down? Do we know what the opposition
was?
I never got the whole story because you couldn't figure it
out from from this guy, or Hartman they never said, but the
punch line is is was voted down after wiener made this big fuss.
They I think it was just voted down because it was just
another, you know, scam of some sort. I'm not sure, Billy
was we need to look into because I only heard about this last
night. And I just didn't have time. And quite honestly, I
couldn't find anything. I like why this makes no sense. No, it
doesn't make any sense. But it's which is why it's being played
up, obviously. Yeah.
So let's play this clip. It's very funny.
area. And Congressman Peter King, who also represents New
York State and he are a part of New York State. I think it's
more of an upstate part of New York State. Congressman Peter
King, the Republican was leading a procedural effort to stop the
vote. So by
the way, is a new thing. It's a new meme.
This is old.
The meme is the procedural because
never done before, but except for these evil Republicans.
Yeah.
And of course, it can be removed immediately. Only the Democrats
don't want to do that because they want to have the same
procedural benefit when it behooves them. Right, exactly.
Okay.
Anthony Weiner, the Democrat goes on the House floor, and
just absolutely raises hell with Peter King, the Republican about
why Peter King is using this slimy technique to try to stop
this thing. And every time this guy stands up and says,
basically stop talking, Anthony Weiner shoves it down his throat
watch this. Mr. Speaker, I yield one minute to the distinguished
gentleman from New York, Mr. Wiener. Gemma's record re
courage
to all members have already spoken and then stand up and
wrap your arms around procedure. We see it in the United States
Senate every single day where members say we want amendments
we want to be we want a minute but we're stalling. No. And then
we stand up and say, Oh, we had a different process. We vote
yes, you vote yes. If you believe yes. You vote in favor
of something you believe it's the right thing. If you believe
it's the wrong thing. You vote no. We are following up
regularly regular order, nailing him. Shahnawaz gets up and yell
buddy to get to intimidate people into believing he's
right. He is wrong. The gentleman is wrong. providing
cover for his colleagues rather than doing the right thing. It's
Republicans wrapping their arms around Republicans rather than
doing the right thing on behalf of the heroes is a shame on
shame. If you believe this is a bad idea to provide health care
Give me the cowardly view that oh, it was a different procedure
for gentleman. down I will do gentleman is collecting sitting.
He's doing a shut up slave on him. Totally. We'll see sit Shut
up sleeve I
will not. gentleman will suspend. I will not stand on
this record and listen to my colleagues say, Oh, if only I
had a different procedure that allows us to stall stall stolen
and vote no. Instead of standing up and defending your colleagues
in voting. No. On this new vein Bill, you should open to vote
yes. Something to gentleman has not done. Anthony Weiner.
Good idea, sir. And just kicking Peter kings bought right across
the House floor and calling them out. But still it failed. This
from Politico this
eyelid failed. That's
right, but she looked failed. Well, I think you're right, I
think Anthony wiener. So first of all, he's he's one of these
young guys. My age younger than I am, but kind of the same age.
And he's, he's understood the message, the meme is very
clearly procedural tactics. And I just got to presume that that
this is bogus. And that's why precede procedural tactics are
being used. I can't imagine any one Republican or Democrat not
wanting to offer something as simple as special health care to
first responders of the Inside Job known as 911.
Right in the foot? Well, you save that for the second half of
the show. So the point is, is that there's something there is
there, we have to look into it, we'll figure it out. We'll have
it for the newer net one of our shows in the in the future. And
yeah, that's what you do. You got a situation where you set up
a law, which has got a lot of writers and other kinds of weird
stuff in it. And you but the law itself is like the Child
Protection Act law. And in the law, there's a bunch of earmarks
and crazy things thrown in. It's got nothing to do a child
protection whatsoever. And you can't afford to vote no on it.
Because what he voted no against the check because it comes down.
It's about the children. It's about the voted no against child
protection. He's a bad person. What so you have to come up with
some other way of doing it, because you don't want to vote
yes, because the bill sucks. And so you've you so you come up
with some bogus, you know, this thing, and then this guy shows
up and makes you look like an idiot, because he looks like an
idiot doing it. But the whole thing is just that, you know,
this is the problem that they have with these these bills with
all these hidden agenda features built into the bill. They don't
want to do anything. They don't want to do line item vetoes.
They don't want to do this, they don't want that they they just
create the children's Protection Act and also just name every
bill that with a bunch of pork and scams and crazy ideas and
laws that got nothing to do with anything and and you know, and
then you put it in as the Child Protection Act. It's got nothing
to do with it. So
Mickey says 16 I love you, John. She just texted me. I guess
she's listening to the stream in the car. Well, here's another
example of how that works. So we were talking about your health
care now being added to your W two forms, which is essentially
the form that your employer send to the IRS so that they can show
what taxes have been withheld. It's a tax document. And Eric,
the shill actually sent this to me. Fact check.org, which of
course is part of the government. John, you and I are
wrong. We're Ron. So Ron. So they they quote from this email
that's been going around and where here's the question, does
the new health care law require workers to pay income tax on the
value of employer provided health insurance? Answer No, the
value will appear on the employee's w two forms for
information purposes, but will not be considered taxable income
words matter in this case, because then they go through
this whole thing. Like, oh, this email is bogus. And perhaps you
should you overlook the most important line in the lead this
legislation where it states a requirement that businesses
include the value of health care benefits they provide to
employees on W twos, beginning with W twos for 2011. The amount
reported is not considered taxable income. I believe that
this is this is doublespeak. And if you look up the word consider
in the dictionary, it is equated to belief or somewhat something
you might think it doesn't actually say it is not taxable
income. No it will not be it is not considered taxable income.
And I think that's just a setup for to become taxable income in
the future. What do you think?
Well, I I'm gonna have to read some of this overworld. We'll
see. I mean, we need a tax attorney here for this, but I
would be guessing that it would go sit, I think the argument
goes something like this because they don't want to say you. So
you make say, Say somebody makes $10,000 a month, and then they
have on top of that they get $3,000 with a health care, which
probably low. Yeah. And so it is their their income is $10,000 A
month 3000 isn't considered taxable income. But it once you
do this,
the word considered and why did they say considered? Why not
just say non taxable income? It isn't taxable income. Why is it
say isn't considered taxable income?
But is it? Is it in itself taxable? That's the question. In
other words, when I go buy gasoline, and they tax me for
the gasoline, it's not taxable income, but I'm paying tax.
Right? Well, I
get benefit, I'm paying tax on the benefit. In other words, I'm
buying gasoline is not and I'm paying X amount of money in
taxes for the gasoline, let's say by $4. For the guests, they
pay a buck in taxes, I have to pay that dollar, but just not
because I have $3 in taxable income from the gasoline.
No, I understand your point. I'm just taking exception with the
word considered. I don't understand why they have to
throw that in there. Just say it's not that it has anything
to do with the 1099 at all. W two. I'm sorry, what did I say
attended w two, is there something fishy about it? So I
will, you know, it'll shake out but they're going to ding us.
When does it chant when it was against? I mean, except for the
Democrats who seem to be really for taxation, which is something
I you know, I watch all these these these left wing and
progressive shows, and they seem to relish the idea of massive
taxation. I don't get this and I argue with friends of mine who
are Democrats. Yeah, they Berkeley. And I say what is Why
do you want more taxes? Well, we need taxes to pay for this and
that, why?
More taxes?
More taxes where they want more taxes. It's crazy. Really,
who are these people? You hang out with these people Highway
over here? Highway eight. Oh, don't start with the potholes.
Again. Please, please don't start with the potholes.
We're tired of the potholes. Just saying that there are
potholes?
Yeah, but who are you hanging out with? Get some new friends?
These guys are okay. Well,
let me let me tell you about taxes then. Okay. Here's here's
the taxes. First of all, how about tobacco tax? All right. So
that is now we've gone up 156% on federal taxes on tobacco
since the Obama administration came in, of course, we had the
type of the tax on indoor tanning services. We have the
medicine cabinet tax, which goes into effect in January, you can
no longer use your health savings account, which is what
actually we advocated on this show. So so that we'll know that
actually they're going to put huge taxes on withdrawing money
from a health savings account so you can basically save for
health care. The special needs kids tax goes into effect in
2013. The medical prosthetics and devices tax in 2013 the
medical itemized deductions cap takes place January 2013. I mean
these are all taxes all part of the legendary legislation. Where
are the people I'm still waiting for someone on television to say
I got free health care this thing rocks. Yay, President
Obama. I still have I still haven't found that person. I
have not found that person. And everyone's forgotten about it.
We're on to Lindsay Lohan in jail.
We are also on to some other bull crap that you know of
course it can keep trying to push through the cap and trade.
So back to well, actually we could you know, we're at the
point where
do you have any real news? I'm bored. Well, I got some I got
some real news
like I got when I go back to real okay, what Well,
I got real news.
Today the real news and I just played The
Real News. Do you not hear the real news? What didn't you hear
the jingle?
The right heard the real news jingle. Okay, so that's your cue
real news that you were going to talk about Lindsay Lohan getting
out of jail in nine days instead of 90 No, screw
it. I was going to talk about our First Lady.
What happened to her?
Well, she's in Marbella, right now with the rest of the of the
of the gangsters in were in Marbella, in Spain. You know,
the the why vacation? Oh, but my belly I've been there. It's
like, two wars going on. Nothing. There's nothing but
gangsters there.
I swear to God, is that right? Oh,
it's 100% gangster paradise. Rolls Royces up and down the
boulevard near the human gods. Yes. Yes. It's horrible. It's
disgusting and like, oh my god, you want to buy a t shirt. You
can only buy it at like the John Galliano shop and $300 t shirt.
This is It's crazy there is it's not just we're all it's we're
all the gangsters go to vacation, Billy. Yeah. And then
we have the Obamas going there.
I think it's only the first lady and Sasha. I don't know they
gotta go collect some money from somebody. And then of course we
have
saying that the First Lady's a bag.
She's a bag, man. She's a black bagger. Okay, so as of 3pm,
Eastern Time. So that's in just two hours from now there is a no
fly zone along the Hudson River in New York, as Chelsea Clinton
will be getting married to the Goldman Sachs investment banker
Marc Mezvinsky. That's a that's, I would have to say as an
aviator that is rare that that happens. That of course, the FAA
website says the restriction is in place for very important
person movement. But that's it.
It's easy. You're telling me that they've they've they've
shut down the airspace for an ex presidents? Yes. daughter's
wedding. Yeah.
And as well of course, there's gonna be lots of GS people
there. But I think it's essentially to stop paparazzi
helicopters. That's what it's about.
They don't protect anybody else. No. Paparazzi like you're just a
slave. Shut up. Slave.
You don't get any special protection, by the way, are
vegan and residents. claims and I think he may be right that
Chelsea is a vegan. That's new. Oh,
really? Yeah. She hasn't made that very public.
No, no, but she's well waiting. I think she did an interview on
health and Style magazine where she says she's a vegan.
Maybe she just said it just to get in a magazine.
I don't think she needs to use that to get into magazine. I
think she can get in any way she wants. But it's cool the way the
elites are just all marrying into each other. Oh, yeah.
No this like the good with the pain marriage the you know, the
daughter of the Queen of England. You know, this kind of
you know, these these deals now? Yeah, it's beautiful to
beautiful thing. Yeah. And as you know, they need some Goldman
Sachs people in the family anyway, with all that money that
Clinton is hoarding.
So let me do a quick little thing on the United States of
Europe, cuz it's always important to talk about these
things as a warning. And also just to show you how it always
goes down in real life. Of course, we saw half of the
Polish government wiped out in a fog related accident. Now we
have a Prime Minister Viktor Orban of Hungary, and he is
doing exactly what the Army rest in peace. President of Poland
did. He's sticking up a big middle finger to the IMF. Oh,
no. Oh, yeah. Back in the early days, the front housing crisis,
Hungary's economy I'm reading here was one of the hardest hit
in the European Union, the EU and the IMF move quickly to
stave off a financial collapse by promising a 20 billion euro
standby bailout package to back the country's finances. The
package is enormous by any standards comprising over 15% of
the country's GDP. And basically, Prime Minister Orban
said take your package and shove it quote I run this country not
you. Ah, poor guy. So and what he's doing
we should have a debt Deadpool on Yeah.
So so he's, he's essentially he said to his financial sector, he
said, You guys are gonna take us to go ahead and fail. I'm not
going to put in austerity measures I'm not making the
people of Hungary pay for this. You go ahead and take your take
your lumps and shove it. And this of course does not sit well
with the European Union and the IMF the economic hitman of the
world. So I yeah, I think we do need to dead pull on the guy I
would recommend not flying for a while. And don't get into your
Jehu take the take the train get it don't get in the Jacuzzi
because you know, you might close the lid on top of you and
suicide yourself and, and good on this guy for standing up
against the true evil in the world. But
prediction, hunting accident.
Oh yeah. We shouldn't be when it should be how that's our dead
fool. It's not when the guy is gonna die. How is he gonna die?
You think hunting accident? Hmm,
yeah, I think that would be a good one. Because that we have
that and played that game for a while.
Well, hold on. Let me Google him. Let me see if he has any
hobbies. If he's like, if you'd like plays poker could be an
unfortunate card cutting incident. All kinds of we can
just guess how this guy is gonna get it. Let's see. We spent his
money. Okay, limited. Management of training. Boring, boring.
Last name again.
O R b a n Victor or bond. O Hold on a sec. He's very fond of
sports, especially of football. That would be soccer force. Ooh,
unfortunate football accident when struck by struck by
lightning on the football field.
It's a little late, much of a hunter.
In fact, that's a great cover on his first hunting expedition.
That was
great fun to sports, especially football, like you said.
Sportsmen that you know could be
Oh, boy. Well, I liked it. He just stood up and said I run
this country, not you to the IMF. Yeah, I mean, that's that's
huge.
This is an absolutely huge to death warrant.
So sad. It's so sad. Right?
Or some there'll be it can also be a scandal. They could rouse
him.
No, I think this guy's actually got to go. I mean, now he's
right in their pocketbook. You know, he's saying bank Screw
you. You're done. Go ahead, bankrupt. You're done. Get out
of here. I'm not going to put it on the people. That's that's so
huge. I mean, that's a true hero. But of course that's
exactly what the President of Poland done. And then he got on
a plane now was it
is let me read this in July 2007. Economists criticized his
cynical populism cynical as good to economists turning into a
mouthpiece you know like the the train thing, cynical populism
and mystifying authoritarian socialist style policies.
Meanwhile, domestically, strongly demonized by the
majority of the left wing and liberal media.
Here, chatroom says bizarre garden at gardening accident.
falling falling down a stairwell harder Well, things always good
heart attack with a prostitute. That's a double whammy for you.
That's a double tap right there. Yeah, that's a good wait some
bad mushrooms slipped choking in his own vomit. Oh, that's always
a good one, too. Oh, my goodness.
We think we're kidding.
Unfortunately, we're not you know, we just you can just sit
here and just predict this stuff. It's so easy. We see time
and time again,
it's getting pretty easy. So I have a if we're gonna do is kind
of I have a kind of talking about it, because it's kind of a
real news story, but not quite. This is I, you know, remember
that the MVNO, they used to have this Indian quality control guy,
recurrent Srikanth who couldn't speak,
he could speak perfectly. He just couldn't understand what he
was saying. Understand
that word. He said, Yeah. And one of the people at the company
I won't say who always wanted to put them on a show as sort of a
joke.
Yeah. Which I thought was the most racist, rude thing and
was totally racist. totally inappropriate. Yeah. So I saw
I'm thinking, Well, you know, do people actually pull this kind
of a stunt, it's to see if they get away with it. So BP put out
this ad that has a guy who supposedly is in charge of some
some of the oil cleanup, and the guy can now not for the life of
him either pronounce any word, but he can't pronounce the word
oil. He keeps bouncing it around. And everything in
between. And so you listen to this with your your jaw drops,
you say, what are they who are they is this just to insult the
public? I don't know. Probably less, less, you
can listen to it.
There's all out there we've got to capture. My job is to hunt it
down. I'm Fred Lamont. And I'm in charge of BPS efforts to
remove all from these waters. BP has taken full responsibility
for the cleanup, and that includes keeping you informed.
Every morning, over 50 spotter planes and helicopters take off
and search for the world. We use satellite images, infrared and
thermal photography to map and target the war. Then the boats
go to work, almost 6000 vessels. These are 1000s of local shrimp
and fishing boats, organized into task forces and strike
teams, plus specialized skimmers from around the world. We
skimmed over 27 million gallons of water mixture and remove
millions more with other methods. We set out more than 8
million feet of boom to protect the shoreline. I grew up on the
Gulf Coast and I love these waters. We can't keep all from
coming ashore. But I'm gonna do everything I can to stop it. And
we'll be here.
Well the guys just southern I mean, that's just that's just a
southern accent.
This is not a normal southern accent. Most everyone I know
from the south can say oil or it'll say
or or Well, it's a marketing piece. It's kind of the guy grew
up there he says that it's got to look like this is by the way
it's not true. None of this is true. BP is actually pulling
back on cleanup efforts. Oh it's it you know Time Magazine and
other arm The Ministry of Truth says big budgets not all that
bad. It's okay. Yeah, and I have here in my possession this, this
is really fun. Remember the 30 I'm sorry, the $20 billion
escrow not fun but escrow that BP promised to set up which by
the way, if I can believe, Mr. Fine visit, Feinberg, the guy
who's in charge of
doling a nine burger fine gold one of the time,
I forget. Anyway, I was watching the C span coverage. Those are
secret negotiations, by the way between the Obama administration
and BP and he is even not privy to the actual framing of the
agreement. It has still hasn't been done, but it's starting to
get done. And here's how it works. They don't actually
transfer any money. They are obtaining letters of credit from
certain banks. And they're not American banks, I mind to point
out I have seen with my own eyes a letter of credit for one
almost $1 billion of from HSBC. And that is that is how the
escrow works. So the money stays in their account. And the
funniest thing is it says, We hereby certify this money has
not been obtained by criminal means a great letter of credit.
So it's a total scam. It's a total total total scam. And
yesterday, Congress voted for the moratorium to be ended on
drilling off the Gulf Coast. So here's how it worked. First, we
end everything we ended long enough three months. And this
drilling costs hundreds of 1000s of dollars a day per rig. So all
the smaller guys had to get out because it just they couldn't
afford to not be drilling. They all left. Who's left BP Oh, and
now. Now we'd now the moratorium has been lifted. And now the
only the only outfit there that can still afford it. And that's
left is BP and of course BP will probably, you know file for some
kind of bankruptcy to just just transfer the assets to the new
BP. And it's an it's a perfect scam. And by the way, the
scientists from the Obama administration, who lied, and
this has already come out of congressional testimony, they
lied that it was a I'm sorry. I said it the wrong way around.
They didn't lie. They told the truth the administration turn
their words around and put the moratorium on. None of this is
no one has to account for that. So this 90 Day stall was based
upon testimony that was falsified. Let's put it that
way. No one gives a crap no one's no one's being pulled in
front of Congress, or congressional testimony or
anything for any of that. Yeah, just keep on going. Let's talk
about blowjobs. I'm Joy bae. HAR. You go nuts. We need to, we
need to thank some people speaking to blow jobs.
Yeah. First, let me preface this by talking about what goes on in
the regular media. There's an interesting thing happening at
the moment. And this is one of the things that why again, we
have to be a listener supported show, because we don't need to
or want to or have any desire as a matter of fact, to appeal to
the major demographic that the television people 18 to 49 which
is the big money. Now there's a bunch of things happening in the
media right now which is has to do with this and I want to
mention that tape. And there's a couple articles on deadline.com
discussing this. And let me just refer to both two of these
articles. One is TV ageism. 40 year olds are now declared old.
Ancient, after separating contestants by race and gender
in recent editions of Survivor it was probably inevitable for
the CBS reality show to also play an age card. Indeed, the
network this morning announced that the new 20 new castaways on
Survivor Nico Rago, who will be divided into two tribes of 10.
Young versus old. What was surprising for me was the two
criteria the old tribe features individuals over the age of 40
while the young tribe is comprised by individuals 30
years of age and younger, given so in other words, 40 is now
old. And so this meme is continuing this ageist meme,
which, by the way, is interesting coming out of
liberal Hollywood, that is kind of a bigoted, ageist meme and I
guess got an email referring to the show rookie blue, which not
only was a recent episode, which is available on Hulu has a 90
year old man who people everybody in the show IQ score
your excoriates as being old. And then it turns out that the
90 year old man that was in the show was also the murderer 90
and a pedophile. There, of course, so they're trying to you
know, again, this is the kind of this this ages bigotry is
starting to show up on television because they can't
deal with a bra because they can't
sell ads based because there's this myth that it has to be a At
24, and they can't 1834 Maybe, and
there's three or four demos, but anything goes out. But the
sweet spot is is 1824 to 34 they can't sell anything. So they
have to get rid of them, in fact, just alienate him. i We
don't want you showing up here at all. We only want the young
kids.
Yeah, they don't want him showing up at all because it
indicates bad sign that somebody older than the age of 40 would
be watching your show. So this is this, this whole thing is
just a disaster. And that's why we do what we do which is do a
listener supported real listener supported not phony listener
supported,
not like the national treasures, measure your Yeah, we have
a few extra people who want to thank including Michael Kearns
out of Platte City, Missouri. Eric Brett Braley out of Paul's
bow, very interesting town. If anyone's in Washington state you
drive through the downtown Paulsboro Washington, you'll be

Sir Matthew Paden, Knight of the no agenda roundtable enjoy some

want to read the notes from Paul couture. Who is giving up his
his obvious knighthood first will be 12 nights as a part of
the no agenda fans.com coin challenge so these are beautiful
coins and Paul took it upon himself to create these coins
and he's put up the whole sale to manufacture everything
beautiful cases these things they look just spectacular
people love him that drilling holes in them to make them into
rings. Since the night rings are still in the making, moving
along, moving along. So here's the first of all, it'd be 12
Nights of The no agenda roundtable the order of the
mint. So this is a special knighthood apparently. This is a
I think he's only gonna make 500 coins. So the challenge is for
producers to to for producers, that's what we call it listeners
to purchase a total of 500 coins from no agenda fans.com that
will generate $9,999.99 for the show. No agenda fans will
increase that to $12,345.66 67 cents, which of course is I love

We hereby pronounce the Sir James and his Adamson night of

bucks. I passed it over from console, a console. Netherlands.
So moving. Now we have
marked did you get mark to sing? I think you missed him too.
Did I participate in Amsterdam? No, no,
we No, we did him twice. Okay, now, my mistake.
So it's been a bit of debate with Eric as we speak on the
chat back channel and over whether Paul couture because he
has donated $1,000 be, I think, total on his own if he gets a
knighthood or if he wants one yet.
I think I think the guy needs to be knighted regardless.
No, I realized that but does he want it now? Or do you want to
pass it off? And then take it at the end? I don't know. Did take
it at the end? What do you say?
A poor choice of words.
Take this at the end. Well, you know what? Paul, he can let us
know. He'll let us know and I'm happy to give him a special
order of the men to mean anything he wants. Yeah, okay,
we'll just we'll just do something special when now he's
going to be a black knight if this is true.
Who a black order of the mint night of the no agenda

good Reverend who donates to the show. He is working on his
knighthood and he asked he says you know because I'm in the

reverend. And he wants to know can he do a suffix and would
that be does that mean like you know like a night of the no

No Oh, right. Well, yeah, right, right. Like the older or order
the British Empire. OBE, we have to dream up some of these
things. Don't like Konami doesn't sound right. Winners no

That was a long,
it was nowhere near the commercials I had to bear on
that show last night.
Oh, yeah, no. We'd be done this, this shows we've already given
more content than a two hour
show. Yes, please. In fact, we have literally given more
content than any two hour radio show at this point,
right. And we're only half done. We're just getting started.
We've only just begun
to so Anyway, congratulations to everybody. And we want you to
anyone who wants to help us out here on this show. It's
dvorak.org/and. A, you can look at my
wonderful Dreamweaver page, oh, Dreamweaver.
org and go to challenge of org.com/n A, and those links
have all been updated, by the way. So divorce.org/and A Gundu
for and the no agenda. show.com has a link to the donation page,
please give us a hand and keep this the user supported show
that everybody else would love to have on their in their
basket. And
then right after I returned from my short, very cheap vacation,
as I'm staying at a friend's house, there's nothing better
than having a house on a beautiful island and having a
friend with a house on a beautiful island. Then you'll be
seeing a lot more coming out of the hilltop Watchtower crackpot
command center as I have freed up my time in total belief that
this model will work and that it will support us the show John
and I. And then we use this to pay bills by the way
until we start to suck. Well, yeah, for
sure suck then then that's our own fault, then it's their own
fault. Also consider the $33.33 cent monthly subscription, which
will automatically get you a boarding pass for the
mothership, we have a sufficient boarding passes still left over
and of course another one added to the mix. On Thursday, when
John announced he will be staying behind the laminate
going, he will not be joining us I will be piloting the craft.
And you know, they've already shown me the reason they've
already shown up over China. So it's absolutely coming very
soon. And you'll just be able to show up. But you don't even have
to check in online, you just show up and say here's my
boarding pass and, and they'll say googoo gaga quickie goo and
you get your, you get to see it right there. And you also
support the show at the same time. And
as a support we need most highly, highly, highly
appreciated. So divorce.org/n A or you go to no agenda show.com.
And also, by the way, in the show notes that Adam did does
for this show are astonishing. It's almost like I mean, I've
seen people put links together. But if this if you're a
researcher out there doing any kind of political research, you
want to track down the show notes that he has done, there's
the most phenomenal, I mean, it's unbelievable.
I would also like to point out that the show notes are also
produced in OPML format, the open processor Markup Language
format, so it's also structured, and this is what a lot of so
it's a dataset. Oh, Vivek Kundra would love me, it's a dataset
that you can actually import. And you can, it's very usable in
this way. In fact, the pocket no agenda, iPhone app uses it to
it, you can actually search the shownotes perfectly in that app
because the show notes are structured, structured data,
it's not just a bunch of links, you know, there's headings, and
it's a and there's a title, and the link is all separate. So
it's a beautiful, beautiful little thing. Thank you, John,
for that. But I work very hard in putting those together. And I
think just about everything we talk about is mentioned in the
show notes one way or the other. And that yeah, you're right. If
you're doing some research, then this is
the place Yes, it's a goldmine.
So we were talking about what was that? That that wonder drug
again? Which is administered via needle vitriol? Was that it?
Yeah, that one by the way. That reminds me we did a cover I
forgot to bring this up last last show and I think before you
talk about that I want to bring back up do we did an ad the last
ad that I played the last drug ad I playing let
me play it again if I know what you're going to talk about, and
I think it's worth playing the ad again. Hold on let me bring
it up right here. What was it called?
Probably ran on the wasn't the last show. No, we know what
definitely wasn't the last show was either the show before or
the show before?
Not the show before? Oh, it wasn't the Hey Big Brother.
Yeah, yeah, that's
no. Yeah, maybe.
Let's take a listen. Hey, Pete. Yeah, it's me big brother.
Put the remote down and listen, this intervention brought to you
by Niaspan. So you got back on the cheeseburgers. It's Stop
using your exercise bike as a coat rack. That's it. You're
done. I don't think so. You told me your doctors worried about
plaque clogging your arteries. What do you call it? Coronary
artery disease, that cholesterol medicine. He also wants you on
Niaspan. I looked it up online. Hey Pete, you're waiting for an
engraved invitation.
If you have high cholesterol and coronary artery disease and diet
and exercise are not enough Niaspan, along with diet and a
bile acid binding resin is FDA approved not only to slow down
plaque buildup, but to actually help clear some of it away
people. As kids, I always looked up to you. I'm just trying to
look after you if you cannot afford your medication called
1877 Niaspan, Niaspan is not for everyone, like people with
stomach ulcers, liver or serious bleeding problems. severe liver
damage can occur when switching to Niaspan from immediate
release niacin, blood tests are needed to check for liver
problems. Tell your doctor if you have muscle pain or
weakness. This could be a sign of serious side effects. This
risk can increase with statin use Tell your doctor about
alcohol use if you've ever had gout or are diabetic and
experience increases in blood sugar flushing a common side
effect is once redness, itching or tingling of the skin. Ask
your doctor about Niaspan fight back fight plaque Niaspan.
So of course, we laughed about this because of the whole
thing it for the sociology, right? And we didn't bother
looking up the fact that this drug is bogus. It's it's it's a
time release version of just over the counter niacin. What is
niacin? Niacin is a vitamin B's vitamin B three to be exact, and
that tannic acid by the way for you smokers out there like the
word nicotine. And it is if you've ever taken it, it's like
it just you can get it at Costco if you've ever taken it. Many
people I've taken it and it turned me blood red. It flushes
flight it makes you if you just turn red as a beet it's the
weirdest stuff. Like I don't know how many Why did you take
it? I was just taking vitamin supplements and I did what did
your brother call you? Sounds good. You take this stuff you
turn beet red.
Did your brother call you and say Hey, big brother, a big
brother your brother? You're
not stupid. You
take the bait. Yeah, so basically, they've run out of
crap to sell us and now they make this sound like some wound
or drug but it's vitamin B, it's over the counter at a Costco
amazing. And they still put there they were missed, by the
way for not knowing that. But notice they still put the big
disclaimer in there because that's what makes people buy
this crap. There's proof right there. That proof right there.
And they could have said it's a natural product. It's vitamin B,
it's great for you know, they have to make it sound like it's
some medication and they sell it to you on prescription ask your
doctor that it just proves how lost we are lost. I tell you
Vivitrol this is what we talked about Vivitrol is now popping up
all over the country is this wonder drug. That's not all
forms of addiction, forms of addiction and we've talked about
that and of course people who've
been gambling.
I'm addicted to masturbation. So this this wonder drug is now
being used to reduce jail sentences in Pittsburgh.
Yeah, we this is why we didn't get to last week. Yeah, last
show.
So Michael hickinbottom senior who was midway through a two and
a half month jail sentence for probation violations. Wow.
Lindsay Lohan nine days, Mr. hickinbottom Two and a half
months, once once released early so he can participate in a drug
based treatment plan aimed at killing his urge to smoke
marijuana. I got an urge. I got a fever. Oh no. The only thing
that can cure my fever is more cowbell. This is nuts. So here
it is. The medication is administered once every 28 days
through as part of an outpatient treatment plan. Although
district attorney Jack Henyk is JR told leskinen. He prefers
hickinbottom is released to be contingent upon entry into an A
inpatient drug treatment center. Papa said Vivitrol based therapy
works best as an outpatient setting. I don't know how that
works. But essentially Yeah, this quote from the guy, I don't
want to do grass anymore. I don't want to use alcohol
anymore. It's amazing. It's a wonder drug and this will be
called the vaccine by the way. You watch people will mistakenly
call it a vaccine. And I don't know what it does, but it messes
with your brain sound good? I mean, it's messenger. Let
me ask you a question. A personal question. Sure. Now you
used to smoke marijuana, I believe
I would say from waking bake to sleepy time. 10 years in a row.
You should and you had an urge the urge to smoke it right.
Yeah, I wake up I go.
Yeah, it's smoking it. Oh, like time to be so what drug what
treatment what therapy? What was what support group what was it
that you did personally? To stop smoking marijuana?
I divorced my wife.
Okay, well that's that's good.
I just stopped.
Wait, wait, wait, stop Hold on a second. You're not hearing me
through you don't used to smoke marijuana. Yes. You were you
were kind of addicted to it. You had to smile.
I was smoking in the stairwell. I
just asked the question. What support group? What drug did you
take? What shots did you get? What did you do to stop?
Nothing? I
just stopped. No, no, no,
no. See you don't
stop sticking it in my face.
It's not possible.
I had What do you mean?
I first see all these news reports. You were addicted. You
had to you've been helped by some group. Oh, drug? Oh, yes.
Yes. Just stop
it. Just stop and have it be over with no, it's impossible. I
know. I am living proof.
I, you and a million other people. Yeah, it just
stopped. This is like, Okay, I'm not going to do this anymore.
And I just stopped. And I have not touched it since. And I
don't miss it. It's actually it's not it's not it's not a big
thing. It's not addictive. I am addicted to nicotine. Yeah.
However, however, if if I wanted to, I could just stop. You
probably could. Yeah, no, I know. I could. Because the
addict the addiction part, the physical addiction is really
like It's like 48 hours or something when I get on a long
haul flight, and, and fly, you know, across the world. And I'm
not one of those people going. Like, just turn my brain off.
And I forget about Of course, I'm stupid. When I arrive. I'm
like, damn, I'd like a smoke right now. You know, and then I
light one up. But I could I mean, clearly I'm not like
freaking out on the plane. I just stopped this. You know, I
can stop in a restaurant. We have fine meals. Do you see me
freaking out like, Okay, we gotta go. We gotta go. We gotta
go. I gotta go outside gotta smoke. Do you ever see me doing
that? No. By the way, I'd like to thank everyone who sent in
notices that they went to visit to the wonderful restaurant
freedom golf in San Francisco after we discussed it. Funny
enough. People had a great meal there. And when they said John
Adams sent us the maitre d went who?
Of course, like what I told the French or French place they
think everybody's the Gestapo.
We don't know them. You don't know them. We have no idea.
All I know is we can walk into the place and get a table.
Who is this John sheils? We do not know of him. Go have a you
want to Bordeaux? So anyway, Vivitrol is it's making a march
and you can watch this stuff. And how about this, John? How
about this for a small prediction? Lindsay Lohan on
Vivitrol. Ooh, watch it come just watch. You can watch it
happen. You can watch it happen because it's part of the whole
scam. You're leading up to that you got me. Yep, I did. No, it's
Lindsay Lohan will be on Vivitrol it'd be outpatient
basis. It'll be every 28 days.
Wait, it's just gonna get a multimillion dollar contract a
plugin do that's up the ante on this prediction.
She'll do Vogue with her scram bracelet on. It's gonna be it's
gonna be the new hot fashion man for the fall. It's the scram
bracelet.
The whole thing is pathetic. But
it's pathetic because it's a total scam. It's a scam. Now
this stuff may work. I'm not saying it doesn't but come on.
This is messing with your brain. This is a hallucinogenic. This
is doing something with your neurotransmitters and receptors
and, and repertory can't
be good. That's what we're trying to say. Doesn't sound
like it's smoked dope for 10 years or 20 years or however
long it was and just stop cold turkey without thinking twice
about it. then anybody can do it. Anybody can do it.
What are you trying to say about me? If I can do it? Anybody can
do it?
Yes. Like New York. You know, they can make it anywhere. Good
news from Gitmo
nation great white north. And I did not know this was going on.
However, British Columbia, the British Columbian government has
suspended a program that attempts to test the sexual
responses of young male sex offenders. And have you heard
about this program that they had? Here's how the program
worked. It was Oh, my God is? I find it even hard to think about
this. The test required offenders as young as 13 years
old, your 13 year old I mean, what do you do when you're 13 to
become a sex offender? It's possible to look at images of
nude and semi nude children and wait and listen to audio
descriptions of forced sex while their weight while their
physical responses were measured with sensors attached to their
genitals.
My understanding is Colorado does this to this day. Really?
Yeah. i
What century are we in?
Sounds like the second but the I remember this coming up in the
conversation when Kobe Bryant was arrested for rape or accused
accused of rape allegedly raping some buddy in a hotel. And there
was and he had all the best attorneys in the world and this
came up in the conversation saying that he if he was found
guilty, they would do this to him to see well how you know
what a sex offender he was.
What they're saying is, if if you look at a picture of a new
child and you get an erection, then you're a sex offender
apparently is crazy. This is like if the witch if the witch
floats she's not a witch. Exactly. This is this is some
creepy. This is just absolutely creepy. My God. Listen to audio
descriptions of forced sex while their physical responses are
measured by attaching sensors to their genitals while they've
stopped doing this. Oh, good idea.
I think they're still doing Colorado. Really? Some Colorado
we don't have any Colorado contributors that I know.
No kidding. They've all got sensors attached to their
channels. Jail.
So all right. Yeah, that's disgusting. That is
well I'm glad that they've stopped it but I was like whoa,
Chantix by the way which we've been harping on for quite a
while new report comes out. And of course,
by the way, Washington State apparently still does this
according to Eric. And they even have a sex offender island
prison.
Excellent. Yeah, they want to do one of those off the coast of
California and we talked about make just put them all on
Catalina. So here's a report the clear temporal relationship.
Lack of prior history of this behavior and an unusual nature
of these events strengthens the accumulating scientific evidence
that Veyrons Varun Vera Nicklin, which is the medical name for
Chantix, is associated with thoughts and acts of aggression
and violence. We recommend that physicians and pharmacists
ensure that all patients are informed of possible psychiatric
symptoms of Chantix including violent and aggressive thoughts.
Again, more proof that Mel Gibson is on this stuff and
needs help.
Needs to be obviously yet the right
someone is going to be listening to the show somebody and of
course they're going to take credit for it on extra. Oh yeah,
you know, doctor finds out that Mel Gibson's on shandaken
Well actually they would suppress that information since
Chantix is such a big advertiser again proving our point of
theory Wow, we have to be user supported so yeah, that'll never
get into the public domain
poor mill. Meanwhile, this this woman is just pushing his
buttons and the guy's freaking out on the Chantix crappy Oh
killer and then get off
if he takes Vivitrol
so talking about these ads I do have one ad I want to play Oh,
but again for the sociology I don't care about the product
that this is proactive. It's because when I heard this guy's
voice This is one of the most amazing the voiceover guys what
we're listening to here nice
do I get to emulate him? And that's what I want to know. I
don't think this is one you can do. Oh my goodness. This is a
happy voice and anyone who saw the movie Office Space and
remembers that one restaurant where that happy guy with all
the your pride
pride pride buttons. You got your pride buttons on that guy.
He is like the he's like He may even be his voice but this guy
has the happiest voice and it's a youthful happiness talking to
women. And I found the sociology of this ad to be fascinating and
his voice is just like wow, but anyway, let's play it
just in time for summer. Toss out your makeup and give your

from now feels great. It feels great.
Well, this proactive stuff is it's very successfully marketed.
It's for acne. Yeah. And oh man, girls swear by it. I've seen
girls come into my daughter this a while ago. She doesn't have
the problem anymore. But with teenage acne. And the girls be
like, Oh, do you have any proactive and you need to use
some proactive. I think this stuff is like it hooks you or
something.
It could be a substitute for it. Chapstick. I remember this year.
Chapstick. Yeah, exactly. It was a different brand. And if you
started using it, you'd have permanent chapped lips. But you
kept having to put more of this crap on. No agenda show.com
You'll pay for the whole seat. But you only need the edge. Chat
Room was feeding me lines. This is great. Maybe we should do a
promotion with this voice.
Seems to work. It seems to work. Okay, John. Here's one for you.
And actually, boy, I have I have a one that fits under the
heading of all aboard trains, planes
trains good plains bad. This is a new in the contract of
carriage from actually my favorite airline, Southwest
Airlines. I love them dearly, because they don't give a crap
about you. And they let you know. And I like that it's they
give you value for value without a doubt. So in these contracts
of carriage, they always have acts of God. Right? And if
there's an act of God, then all bets are off. And this is in
many, many contracts. Cheese, I think even an investment
contract. It's all over the place.
Yeah, we have it in our speakers agreement. Well, you Well, it's
good because you can add something to it. So what would
you think constitutes an act of God?
No, I would say a flood a lightning strike. Earthquake.
You know, that sort of thing? Well, on
page 11 of the contract of carriage they've now changed
this. And they've added mechanical difficulties to the
act of God.
Oh, really? Yeah. Oh,
my God did it crap. God broke the plane. Cry. That is bad. In
such cases the contract says passengers are entitled to
refunds only on the use portion of their ticket Southwest has no
obligation to provide compensate compensation for any type of
special incidental or consequential damages due to
such an act of God. Let's just mechanical mechanical
difficulties. I love it. I have another awesome train is good
plaids bad segment. Wow, this, this one blew me away. The fix
is in. And for those of you who are new to the program, we may
have some new listeners. We believe that there is a huge
well we have pretty much evidence that the largest PR
firm in the world or one of the most successful ones added to
Hill and Knowlton is now in charge of the United States a
high speed rail project and are pushing this thing to no end.
And not just pushing trains but are slamming planes. Michelle
Obama, our first lady, her communications chief Camille
Johnson Johnston has left the service of our First Lady for a
private sector job this would be vice president at Siemens
by the guys trying to do the high speed rail guy when
we trying to do they make the high speed train make crap
though they're
Dern did do not make the good trains. It's not going to be
worked out.
But we've got the the guy the X big week from Siemens now took
the job for the California high speed rail project. And he took
a huge pay cut of course Jerry Yeah, he's got options and
everything on the back end because they're gonna buy
Siemens trains. We've got the First Lady's confidant,
communications chief so she As part of the the PR scam going to
Siemens, it's just, it's amazing. Oh, and the Pope where
there was a vote we missed House resolution 1366 past July 27,
recognizing and honoring the freight railroad industry. And
its employees. Yeah, no, we've got it. We hate
Zod. But Warren Buffett invest in Burlington Northern, the next
thing, you know, all this stuff starts to happen. And then we
have Raela, who's gonna get a bunch of free track is what it
amounts to. And in the olden days, the railroad had to put
their track down. And it costs a lot of money. So they're gonna
put high speed rail track all over the place. Nobody's gonna
go on the high speed train, then the freight guys are gonna say,
Well, can we use these tracks? Yeah, you might as well we're
not using it. You get a nice free new track.
So Rayleigh hood, which just sounds so gangster ish, who was
our transportation secretary was over there. And Madison.
Actually, Milwaukee, I'm sorry. And as well, you know, we've we
got a $2.5 billion hole in the state. But that's no problem,
because we're going to lay down some track, an additional two
and a half billion dollars will be awarded for high speed rail
projects in Milwaukee. This is happening, said, Governor Jim
Doyle. But here's the quote. LaHood says, We need to get
infrastructure in place, then we'll have the discussion about
how operating part of it will work. That's great. So first,
spend the money, put it down, then we'll figure out how to
make it work. Okay, great. Yeah.
Just like pass the bill to read later. Yeah. Great. People
signed contracts like that. I've had people introduced contract.
I don't worry about it. We'll fix it.
No, no, no, here's here's we'll make you whole later. That's the
quote. Don't worry, ma'am. We'll make your whole later. And we'll
fix it all up. So yeah, so the I think if I look at the overview
today, and you can find it in the trains good plains bad
woowoo heading of the show notes at no agenda show.com. I think
you'll see that trains are ahead eight to one this week. Eight to
one eight to one. There's something we didn't talk about.
I'm sure it came up maybe on one of the other shows you do. This
DNS key that like seven people have some kind of secret card
thingy and and they can reboot the root domain servers.
Yeah,
have you heard about this? By know about it? Well, this one of
these guys was on the BBC. And I wanted to share this little
piece of audio with you because I just want to understand kind
of what's going on. And the way the BBC talks about it. This is
you know, it's really like who he's he's he holds one of the
keys, it's all top secret and who the catastrophe key for the
internet. And a British computer expert has been entrusted.
Apparently, with Putin, personally,
I've become part of, I'll use the quote, which will embarrass
you an elite international circle of trust, charged with
restarting the Internet. In the event of a global catastrophe. I
am the trusted community representative for Europe for
holding a recovery key share. Now what that really means in
English, is there were 60 people were nominated to be holders of
this recovery key from the European region, I am delighted
to be chosen as the holder of the recovery key. And in the
event of a fundamental catastrophic failure of the DNS
SEC system, what I hold is a very small fragment of a key a
digital key that will restart the process of signing the root
zone. It is so unlikely I'll ever be called upon, but at
least the process has been thought through for actually a
full disaster recovery mechanism being in place. Can you describe
the digital key for me? Yes, it looks like a credit card. If you
imagine the chip that's on your credit card, that's actually a
storage device. And what I hold on that storage device is a very
small fragment of the encryption key that is protecting the
master root key. And in the event of something catastrophic
happening, what do you do? What do you have the digital key do,
I have to take my key over to a secure location in the US, along
with four of my colleagues that need to be a total of five of us
present, a secure location has actually the hardware and also
some additional keys, which would actually restart the
process of generating the DNS SEC root key, essentially switch
it back on, essentially switch back on the DNS SEC service that
would have been compromised it would work, but it would be
possible for the bad guy to pretend and masquerade as a
legitimate commercial operation. Why do the literally five of you
basically no one party is in a position to hold a visa master
key. And that is a very sensible approach. If the key were
exclusively held in one geographical region, it could
lead to fragmentation and fragmentation of the Internet as
we know, we don't want to see balkanization of the global
universal internet. I know you won't tell me but I'm guessing
there's mind boggling security before you get to this location.
I'm guessing it's in the desert, and you go down in a lift, is
that right? You don't go in the lift. It is in the desert, and
it is exceptionally secure over your shoulder. I'm also seeing a
man in purple with a big hat. But it's not that far from it.
What the hell does that mean? About what a man in purple with
a big hat?
I don't know what the fuck them is.
So what's up with this? I mean, it seems to me like this is more
a key to bring down the
internet. Now no reboot system that this is all they talk about
is rebooting the DNS system if they have to, if something crazy
happens, and they need to do it with you, they decide this
doesn't bother me in the least. And the fact of the matter is,
the internet's not going to completely go down anyway,
because there's these alternative DNS systems just
gonna say Don't
we need no agenda? dns.org or something like that? Do we need
to have our own DNS
need? No, no. Have all the things in the world we need?
That's not Oh, come on.
I want a DNS server. You gotta keep
tagging the real one. It's just it's it's it's too much work.
The anyway, the point is, no, this is this is not a big deal.
The big deal seems to me that the guy has to travel there.
Yeah, there should be some remote way of doing this. But
and whether it's in the desert or not really, I wonder, I mean,
I remember I visited me East once said, you're gonna you're
gonna die when you see this place.
It's a bunch of crap. It's a bunch of everything strung up
and go
in there. It's in it's in, in Virginia in one of those, you
know, one of those spook towns, and it's in a basement of some
garage. And you drive in and the main pipe that goes to Europe is
actually across the driving thing. So if you're like a
truck, that's that's too high for the for the the ceiling, you
bust it. And write I think they've changed a lot of this
since I visited I had a bunch of I did a photo essay and
published it somewhere and showing the inside of this
thing, it's, you know, it's a locked room, you didn't really
have a key you can get in and throw a grenade in there and
finish off the European connections. Right? But anyway,
I think they may have secured a better because I've seen other
Sindri where they're
probably I remember when may East flooded Do you remember
that? This guy here, John, do you remember when Mae East
flooded?
You remember this would have flooded because it's in a
basement? No, it flooded
once I remember and it took out the whole eastern seaboard.
Okay, well, it was probably well I think they moved it. Oh, yeah.
But I remember when that flooded and I was like holy crap and all
the servers just fried and it took them like three days to
bring everything back online just because they had to bring
in you know, get a duplicate location and at the time they
were dealing with with Jose MFS metropolitan fiber systems, and
it was it was hard to get all that stuff up and running again.
But anyway, you know, this doesn't bother me at least and I
think the guy overdramatize the you know, they've got what he
used the word Hey, we got to read there was a bunch of
computers that consistent that make up the DNS system. And if
the thing goes down, we have to just reboot them all. You know,
we need some way of doing that. And this is what the process is
and it would probably take down the internet for a couple of
days. If it was that bad, and the guy of course would flat the
fly Of course most
people by the by this time are stupid enough to switch to
google DNS services. Exactly. This may trouble you then. I've
got a report here appears that many very important drugs are in
severe shortfall around the country. And these are drugs
that are used in emergency rooms such as a pin a friend
lidocaine, other drugs for heart stoppage, shock treatment,
epinephrine, and Efrain
and Tennessee, Pennsylvania, California have already seen the
incorporation of the so called alternate protocol, because
these drugs are in such short supply and I was wondering if if
you'd like here is this Obamacare is this what is this
what is done to us? I don't know. It's weird, though.
Wondering doesn't let's not get a heart attack this week.
Doesn't sound like
hold off on that. So I've got a couple of clips I want to get in
before the show's over. Okay. So I was watching again, Democracy
Now. And I love the way they present their news. It's just
skewed.
Really, it's it's, you don't say?
Yeah, it's skewed to slammer, the Americans so she should the
woman there that woman that does the dead tries to be a Walter
Cronkite. She announces that the cluster bomb treaty that I don't
even know where this treaty comes from, wasn't what the
Americans were refused to sign it. And so she's talked about
the treaty and she says in the Americans refused to sign that
cluster bomb treaty. I don't even like it's a UN treaty. I
don't know what. So she mentioned three countries that
refuse to sign so these are the bad guys. But she luckily she
kind of mentioned the other countries do it and sign it in
either. And it's like, who else is there play this clip.
An international treaty banning cluster bombs goes into effect
Sunday, but the United States as well as Russia and Israel have
refused to sign the treaty. All three countries have used
cluster bombs in recent years. Other key countries who've
refused to sign the treaty include Brazil, China, India,
Pakistan and South Korea.
What kind of treaty is that?
Nobody signed. He had to get the jab on Israel's
right. That's good. Who cares? MIGUEZ Enough, enough stuff to
kill everybody. I need to talk about get my nation down under
for a moment. First of all, Kevin Rudd, the former prime
minister who quit and is mired in all kinds of scandals. Ooh,
he had to go to the hospital for gallbladder sad surgery. Doesn't
sound too good. Yeah, I think they're like given him a little
message there. But this is a report that folks in Gitmo
nation east the mother country in this case, for down under
will want to pay attention to, because really big and also get
my nation lowlands I should say, the Oyster card, of course, is
what everyone needs to use. Almost exclusively, if you
really want to use the two bus services, the subway or any type
of public transportation. It is the discard the same technology
has also been deployed in low in the lowlands, get my nation
version and in get more nation down under however, exactly what
we thought could happen with this RFID technology is now
indeed taking place. I believe the system there is called the
Mikey NY K. I'm not sure about the pronunciation. But I have a
little clip here from the age.com. This is their little
jingle what they started, I
heard a story from Brisbane that this lady was on the bus at the
Tim Sam has a murder. She didn't know she was a murderer there.
She was contacted because the police were able to track where
she was because they she had a gold card. The smart card says
system just like the metlink system. And were able to help us
use her information to try and track this murder. And each of
these systems that have been put in around the world and now
they're very common, have had to go through privacy concerns.
Because it is possible if if we know who the person is to track
them. And I think that's not appropriate. And in fact, that's
very much the way that it's organized. It is not appropriate
and or allowed under the law. To win these things are set up to
track people. However, there will be extreme cases such as
this murder investigation, where I think it's okay to to
circumvent the protections. But it should only be done on a very
specialist with a very altruistic and positive and REIT
a reasonable reason to do so.
The Transportation Secretary by the way, he was talking to an
example of where the technology has some positive sides, that
the positive very much it's true that there are privacy concerns.
And I think, you know, we need to actually make sure we cover
those things off. And I think people that are using like you
should be aware that there can be privacy concerns, but I
wouldn't be overly concerned about Big Brother I think this
example in Brisbane is an example where there were very
positive reasons why the police wants to do this. And I think
it's a credit to the technology that we can try and you know,
use it for these purposes, but I think it should only ever be
done and as long as it's for you know, positive reasons the
children,
the children
only if it's for the children. So there you go. They're just
using it to track you. They're down under great great great
grapes perfect and this of course is happening everywhere.
Where are we put it your cards in a wallet that have either a
little Faraday cage built into the wallet a lot of guys make
this I'll get you the name of a wallet maker in in Southern
California that makes these wallets and it protects you from
such snooping and other than or or if you just want to do simple
like get some lead foil and wrap the carton around
your head and wrap it around your head.
You put the lead foil around the carton and nothing's coming out
or going into that cart I can assure you
I have to get some clips from said the C span video library is
weird. What I get more and more often now is this clip is not
available. I gotten a lot of that recently. I don't I'm not
liking I'm not liking that. That's I clicked
on it says if he was unavailable send us a note I sent him a note
I never know you're not
going to hear back from them. However. United States
Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lisa Jackson
rebuffed recent efforts to prevent her agency from
regulating greenhouse gas emissions. You're the president
has essentially given the EPA carte blanche to regulate
greenhouse gas emissions, which is what is coming out of my
piehole right now, stating that the evidence proving climate
change is a problem remains quote, robust, voluminous and
compelling, in other words, the sciences. She rejected 10
petitions filed by the attorneys general of Texas, Virginia and
the Ohio coal Association and other groups that urged her to
nullify the endangerment finding. And she said no way
Shut up slave. Shut up. These petitions base as they are on
selectively edited out of context, data and manufactured
controversy or controversy, provide new evidence to
undermine our determination. Shatter the body of science, the
body or the body of science from the IPCC and the National
Academy of Sciences supports the agency's findings that
greenhouse gases threaten human health. And the endangerment
finding has been decades in the making. EPA has determined that
the petitioners arguments and evidence are inadequate,
generally unscientific and did not show that the underlying
science supporting the endangerment finding is flawed
is unbelievable.
Well, you might as well go for that to my clip, which is Tom
Hartman discussing global warming and how it then he puts
this is the most weird non sequitur thing I've ever heard
him say it the whole thing makes no sense. But he dramatizes the
news with this. Wait, there's more segment
in people in Japan's worst heatwave has killed 66 people.
But wait, there's more. The US Environmental Protection Agency
is smacked down petitions by conspiracy theorists who argue
that global warming is a hoax. No, it's not. But wait, there's
still more Republicans with the potential support of a few
Democrats conservative dems, depending on oil money are
geared up to block oil disaster reform bills in the House and
Senate. But wait, there's even more public campaign reports
that House Minority Whip Garrett Cantor took in almost a quarter
million dollar almost a half a million dollars in the second
quarter from the financial industry including Goldman Sachs
and Bank of America. This is the number two Republican the House
of Representatives, one of the top 10 recipients for oil and
gas contributions without campaign finance reform that
works expect more floods, fires, oil spill disasters and
Republican great depressions. What
how do you go from global warming to Republican great
depressions? Yeah. And
oh, man. Meanwhile, it's cold here in Los Angeles.
No, it's freezing today. You know, we've had our course July
in San Francisco as a cold month usually. And in a classic sense.
Sometimes it's not. But once in a while it's perfect, like this
month has been the same fog, fog, fog, Sun fog, fog fog. But
the in the olden days, as I recall it as a kid, you'd have
the fog break up around 1130 to one, and then it'd be nice and
warm. And then it would maybe roll in at night. But now it's
staying out. It's staying foggy until about two. Yeah, just very
annoying.
It's August.
It's tomorrow's August.
It's as good as August. Let me ask you a question. You're
Rolling Stone magazine has had a number of phenomenal expos A's,
exposing Goldman Sachs in perfect timing, of course, for
the put options, as well as helping General McChrystal get
out of the horrible situation he was in and installing the shield
portrays how come they don't go after whitecliff shawl musician
and you know, and they have this this path piece on him. And
there's not a I don't even think there's a mention of the
controversy surrounding his actually there is I'm sorry,
surrounding his his nonprofit charity at the very last line of
this puff piece. Well, Joe publicly admitted that his
foundation has made some operational mistakes in the
past. He denied that he profited in any way off of his charity.
So this is the guy who has now filed all the paperwork by the
way his dad is ambassador to Haiti. Or yeah, Indian and
friends with Clinton. And yeah, he's very good friends with
Clinton in 2006 whitecliff Shah released a song which goes
something like this, listen to the lyrics of the first verse
here of this song, which is titled if I was president. signs
everywhere, times come saying why clap for President He was
assassinated on Saturday. There you go. That's what's gonna
happen. So he'll become president of Haiti and they'll
kill him. And then they'll put some other puppet in. This is
just the New World Order laughing at us again. They set
this crap up in 2006. Like, hey, watch this man. It'll be great.
I'm gonna be president of Haiti dude. And then like, they'll
shoot me. But of course, it won't really shoot me. I'll be
living in Paraguay. That's where I'll be hanging out. This is a
total fix. I don't like this guy. I don't like this guy. Call
that to cry. I
don't like this guy. I don't like it. I
don't like him either. I think there's something fishy about
him.
If you're friends with Clinton, he's probably up there in the no
fly zone right now. At the wedding. You watch whitecliff
Sean performed at the wedding for Chelsea Clinton. Wouldn't
surprise me one to broaden surprise me a bit. And then this
was very funny. Mother Jones, who I think is a reasonably
respected journalistic outfit. They seem to still pay
journalists to go and do some work, have done some
investigation on the Better Business Bureau. And the reason
they did this is because this whole and I don't want to get
into that this ABC news story about Glenn Beck shilling for a
Gold Line International fleecing his customers. This is a buy
gold coin scam. And, and of course, Gold Gold Line, I'm
sorry, Gold Line has a plus rating from the Better Business
Bureau in Los Angeles. And it was my understanding always at
the Better Business Bureau was an organization you could call
up and you are you now of course they have a website. And you can
check them out and see if if a business is on the up and up.
Isn't that kind of what it's used for? Isn't? That is Yeah,
kinda isn't supposed to be good.
Yeah, it's No, but I've ever heard any complaints.
So the way it works is you you pay $425 To become an accredited
business with the Better Business Bureau. So a Mother
Jones, registered Hamas with the Better Business Bureau as a
accredited business, and the Better Business Bureau is Hamas
listing states the business is devoted to quote providing
educational services to troubled youth and has received an
excellent rating from the Better Business Bureau. Hummus. Yeah.
So I guess that does it for the BBB? Well, it looks
like you're not really doing the job anymore. They're just
collecting license fees. Right? Wow, that was, you know, this is
the problem with this country.
Hit Me Baby.
You know, it's basically people are, you know, getting scammed
out of money. There's phony baloney, as you know,
certifications out there. It's just take the money, get the
cert, you know, set yourself up as a certifying agency, and the
next thing you know, you you start selling certificates and
essentially, that's ridiculous, right? So I wonder if the how
the I mean, it's like, did Underwriters Lab ever check
anything anymore? I mean,
Underwriters Lab was a huge commercial business,
and how about, you know, the current driver's car of the year
that you did? What did was it a coincidence that they seem to
rotate through the brands? Mm hmm.
So is there any about Consumer Reports?
I think Consumer Reports does what they do. I mean, I think
they do look over these things. But you know, when we got when I
was at PC Magazine, in his heyday, and we would do really
look at stuff carefully. And Consumer Reports would do
something on computers or computer printers. There was
always crap. It wasn't very good. Right there. What they
were saying was recommended this and that. And the other thing,
and by the way, they did it with cameras, too. I think the media
SLR in the olden days, was always their favorite camera
when everyone was buying Nikon and Canon. The first for a
reason. I don't know. I mean, I think that I don't think they
did go out of their way. I don't think they're bought off by
enemies. I think they're honest. But I don't think that they're
that that great.
So the only people you can trust. And that's just
marginally. Just the two of us, we can make it if we try. That's
right. We are great. Go ahead and try this all summer long.
You know, we dislike you can't find anything out on Google. I
mean, days like Yelp, you have to use Yelp now to find out, you
know, reviews or restaurants because you can't trust the
reviewers. And the professional reviewers are all out to lunch,
literally, and that but but you can kind of you can deconstruct
things using these news mechanisms, but it's kind of
painful. I mean, Yelp. It takes some getting used to how to use
it properly and you can still get, you know, take the wrong
turn. I mean, it's a hopeless consumer. The consumer is the
consumer movement consumerism is It's screwed over.
Well, thank goodness there's a new hot Russian spy to look at.
Ooh, yeah, we got a new one. Because the box office for
Angelina's movie wasn't doing too well.
Salty. Yeah. So we got thumped it enough but apparently no, no,
no, no, it wasn't working well enough. So they came out with a
24 year old on a fair MANOVA she's hot by the way. She and
she has a belly button ring. Where's bikinis on her Facebook
pictures? Yes, she is America's matte lips like oh, no, no, she
has a with a she's hot for a Russian name. Anna fair MANOVA.
And she's currently under house arrest in Texas awaiting trial
for knowingly and intentionally exporting contraband weapons,
Grade A weapons grade night vision scopes to Moscow.
According to her booking papers, she has five six has a belly
ring. She likes slutty Halloween costumes and pointing at the
camera when she's drunk. And Gawker actually has a lot of
pictures of her she's hot man. She's great.
This is bogus.
No it's the pump up the box office
obviously she's not even Variety
wrote a review of salt and said you know if it weren't for the
for the Russian spy ring, I would have walked out of the
movie but it was kind of compelling because I mean
they're saying it they're just saying it right out and out. And
a fair MANOVA coming out Camilla you hot Russian minx. I'm a
former Soviet spy come your comrade meeting Let me lick your
belly button ring. And then the assault on assault is finally
and made it up north to get mo nation great white north. Of
course they couldn't use our What is it the what is our
institute of sciences report which is funded by the
government. It's not really an independent organization. They
got a beautiful building. No, that's for sure. So they have
their own panel of experts. The group chaired by Health Canada
released its long awaited report Thursday in Ottawa manufacturers
are being encouraged to lower the sodium content of their
products over time to meet voluntary salt targets. The
initial targets. The initial aim is to reduce people's average
daily sodium intake by about a third to 2300 milligrams that's
like a teaspoon. For adults, 1500 milligrams of sodium per
day is considered adequate. The group's goal of 2300 milligrams
is considered the most sodium people should consume each day.
So it's coincidental that every country just has all these all
at once all at the same time happening at the same time. It
wouldn't have anything to do with the Codex Alimentarius
would it? recommendations include revamping Canada's food
labeling system to make sodium levels clearer to consumers?
Forcing restaurants to list the amount of sodium in each dish.
The hell is that? That's bull crap. You're like, oh, I put
three grains on this one. Making companies use the same serving
sizes in the nutrition facts table on the product labels,
updating Canada's Food Guide with more information about
sodium and calories putting more government money into research
Ding ding ding ding ding ding ding there's the big one. And
monitoring sodium intake and releasing report each year
looking at whether people are actually cutting salt out of
their diets because if not, we're gonna come and get you you
slaves. Maybe they can give us Vivitrol to cut back on our salt
addiction. Could be Yeah, that could really help. Meanwhile,
I'm still sprinkling some salt on my espresso espressos and
loving it.
I'm hiking I'm gonna have to try that
it's really but as to be sea salt. Just just grind a little,
just a not too much or otherwise you'd like drinking salt. Just a
little salt. This by the way seems to be an old fashioned
tradition and get plenty of emails from people saying yeah
my grandmother when she would do drip coffee she'd always throw
some salt into the grinds before dripping the coffee through the
filter. And so of course the system I have won't do that but
just just a quick grind on top it it does give it a nice little
kick it's a little no no it's it's interesting it add some
dimension to the flavor profile. Oh,
I you know the way you say that. And then finally before we get
out of here and this is for the United States of Europe. Of
course we're so pristine and and we don't want genetically
modified anything. Although it's now been approved. Of course,
thanks to the Lisbon Treaty. Report that cloned meat and
dairy products are already lining the supermarket shelves
and Gitmo nation, United States of Europe. One
anyway, hold on a second. I was under the impression some years
back that the United States of Europe was against G M. Oh,
anything and they weren't going to tolerate the crap that we
make over here and all the rest of what happened?
Well They introduced the Lisbon Treaty which the Dutch and the
French voted down as the European Constitution. They then
came back and they pulled it all apart and made into this
beautiful document which no one got to vote on except for the
Irish. The British were promised to vote. They weren't allowed to
vote. The Dutch should not get to vote. And
you're describing a coup d'etat? No.
They're clearly there. Monsanto data, one British farmer said he
was routinely selling milk produced by the offspring of a
cloned cow. And the Swiss government admitted that several
100 of its cattle were second or third generation clone
descendants.
Wow, that explains the two headed ones. That's explains
the two headed people in European Parliament. That's what
it explains. So
so I didn't know this at all that they were drinking cloned
milk. Yep. Oh, yeah. Just drink water.
And right. Yeah, you know, I like water. This is fluoride in
my show. That's right. Nice little cup of fluoridated water.
And by the way, have some aspartame chewing gum, fresh
ginger breath. All summer long. It'll make you feel really good.
You don't get addicted to it at all. It's great. All the kids
are doing it.
You are over the top on now.
Yeah, yeah. Well, I already busted my gut doing it the first
time. So that was the best. So we're going to try and do a show
on Thursday. We'll be coming to you from Gitmo nation. Dutch
Antilles hopefully the bandwidth will will be sufficient it
should we not be able to pull it off. Then we'll try doing it
without the stream. If we can't do without the stream. Then we
do have a an evergreen show.
The best of the early days.
But I'm I'm fully expecting to have a show. I just want to say
I don't see any of something played. There will be something
we will not disappoint. And then of course, next Sunday, we'll
have a show at our regularly scheduled time. So coming to you
from the hilltop Watchtower crackpot command center in Gitmo
nation West, the People's Republic of Southern California.
Yay. I am the former Soviet spy known as Adam curry,
and from Northern Silicon Valley, and the sun actually is
coming a little earlier today, so it might be hot. I'm John C.
Dvorak.
We'll talk to you with any luck Thursday, right here on no
agenda.
