They have to cross what in the business they referred to as the
valley of death. Adam curry,
John C. Dvorak. It's Thursday, February 17 2011 times you're
getting a nation media assassination episode 279. This
is no agenda, maintaining my $9 million value as a human
resource here at the hilltop Watchtower crackpot command
center and get my nation west the People's Republic of
Southern California. Yeah, in the morning. I'm Adam curry.
And from Gitmo nation tortilla. Whereby the way I don't have
that valuation, I'm John C. Dvorak.
Greg bobbin Buzzkill. In the morning get more nation cast the
nets I thought it was how come now all sudden, this tortilla
tortilla as Mexico
actually know the tortilla is Spanish as a matter of fact. Oh,
I didn't know. So inside them seeking the famous tortilla? The
potato tortilla that's a famous, it's actually an omelet. That's
not quite the same kind of tortilla obviously.
Well, in the morning.
I am in Espanya.
Yes in in Madrid. Are you in the old part of town or the new part
of town?
I'm in the outskirts of town. The slums is where you are. It's
just no it's not. It's actually it's a very interesting hotel.
It's called the Puerta America, which is a hotel where every
floor is designed by a different architect. Oh, and sounds like
unlivable and get by a factor of 10.
Sounds like a mess.
Totally. There's only one plug in this room. Really, but it's
pretty spectacular room. I mean, it's like wow, if you you know,
it's but again, there's only one plug.
So you brought a power strip, obviously. No. So how did you
plug everything in? And you one plug.
The laptop is powering everything is all USB? Mm hmm.
I said high tech stuff The Kids Are All raving about.
Yeah, I've heard it does work. Well, in the morning. My my
microphone. And by the way, is a briefcase and a shove the
microphone in there.
It sounds good. Except for the dropouts from time to time. It's
reasonable. Anyway, let me say it again in the morning to you,
John.
And in the morning to you and all the ships at sea and the
boots on the ground and feet in the ocean and the
wings in the skies. checks in the males Baker's in the
kitchens dogs in the paid astronauts Man in the Moon and
Mars base stations anyone napping for humanity right now
hands on the air and human resources throwing shoes and
boots everywhere, especially in the chat room and no agenda
stream.com no agenda chat.net. Where you're right you you don't
have the valuation but came out just this week, John, that the
value of a human resource and get donation here is $9.1
million. That's what you're worth to your government? Well,
you're right, you no longer have it, nor do I. But when you're
born, apparently you are worth $9.1 million. Hmm. And this is
your data,
there's a way of cooking the books.
It's interesting because I was reading through the
Congressional Budget Justification documents so that
you don't have to. And so the Health and Human Services, I
think it's either Health and Human Services, or the EPA has
pegged the value at $9.1 million. They talk about the
human capital quote, and this is from the document. Human capital
refers to the stock of competencies, knowledge and
personality attributes embodied in the ability to perform labor,
so as to produce some economic value. Shut up slave and get
back
to work. Jesus terrible. But isn't that that is the worst
that I mean, that's just pathetic.
Well, what it reminded me of is the Paris 1919 movie, which you
turn everybody on to where they were sitting there in Paris in
1990, trying to figure out how much money Germany had to paid
into like to France and trying to figure out well, you know,
yes, and everything in Right, right human resource can produce
this much in his life, and they haven't stopped doing that.
Well, that's what happened to Ford. If you remember when the
pinto tank was blowing up all the time, they they started kept
making a calculation of what, you know, what does it cost to
fix the problem? As opposed? What does it cost to pay? What
do people get killed? What is it worth? Right? Well, I think I
chose not to fix the problem. I
think 9 million bucks was cheap. But, you know, I've always read
this. It's like one of these conspiracy theory things, but
now it's kind of coming coming true. When I do the math. You
know, there's this theory that goes around and maybe it's true,
I don't know, maybe not just the theory that your birth
certificate is actually you know, it is on official paper
except for the presidents of course, but it's on official
paper. It's number Do you have like a human resource number?
And I've always read that this is the document that the United
States uses as collateral when borrowing money from other
countries.
You know, I've heard this too. And I think it's a, I think it's
a myth. Well, the only thing is, if you if you take a look, if it
doesn't make any sense, if you do the math,
you know, we're looking at a at a at a budget of what, $2.7
trillion or something, we're going to borrow a lot of that.
Most, most of it, if you take $9.1 million times 310 million
Americans, you're pretty close to your $2.9 trillion.
Well, it sounds like we're a liability, not an asset, then.
I don't know which side of the balance sheet we're on
the unbalanced side.
Anyway, I've got about 4 million left, I figure so they're not
going to kill me yet. I'm still useful.
Yeah, a little bit. So the big news to me this week was the
dragon about this sort of thing, or people have been dehumanized
and the rest of it. And you know, we're, I rant I'm flying
over, let me do my do a little travel. We'll talk before I get
into this elite business. I mean, I don't like delta. I've
had have nothing but bad things to say about him. But I have to
say the overseas elite business class was actually phenomenal.
Even though the bad thing doesn't go all the way down.
They have these pillows that are the biggest things I've ever
seen anyone get a couple of them and they're like, they're like
giant down comforters. And I'm telling you, you can really conk
out on these things it's an absolute and the food was good
and the wines decent now just to
be clear, I was done. Someone else is paying for this trip.
You didn't spend our hard earned no agenda cash on Delta actually
flown me over I did use my own miles to upgrade. Uh huh. But
because they're expiring anyway. Yeah, Ford flew me over for
they're rolling out their little new focus. In Europe. They had a
big contest apparently in Europe and people are
so you're just you're just a corporate shill sucking off the
teat of the of the corporate interests. Absolutely. And you
just gave them a plug you could have said any any car company. A
car company.
Okay, a car company.
I'm cutting that out. You know, the
point is it doesn't make any difference. The corporate
masters are what they are. But I got a free trip. Yeah, how are
you doing?
Yeah, thanks. Hey buddy. Appreciate the love of sitting
here in rainy Los Angeles. Is it nice in in Madrid?
Actually it's it was cloudy, but it was very pretty out it's a
little cold. And I went over to the product Oh, and checked out
some oil paintings and I didn't I was walking around old town
today and it was extremely chilly and I'd had to rush back
out to say in the Northern California as I left the last
couple of days has been some of the worst storms I've seen in
fact it tore off some of the my roofing some of the the metal
that I forgot what it shows what's it called that grass know
from your HUD shingles sheet metal
or sheet metal is called some aluminum siding. Anyway this
just take my word for it was a 50 mile an hour winds and
pouring rain it was miserable.
You know there's been a lot of that in the news you know as as
this just doesn't flashing flashing flash? Well, the New
York Times there's a whole bunch of research that's come out that
that you've missed probably because you were in transit. New
York Times definitive study major paper a net major paper
from nature.com and this has beaten you whenever you do a
study this is how you make the news. And then get Hill and
Knowlton to promote it. Heavy rains linked to humans. Yeah,
it's unbelievable and this
SP you know that and you know why it makes sense to me because
we've never had heavy rains ever.
It's interesting because life in the history of
humanity. We've never ever been heavy rate
there was that little thing called Noah's Ark. Remember that
this can all be promotion for that animated movie. But it's
certainly the starting to look like it but you know that two
guys who did this study it's like 700 pages you have to pay
35 bucks to download it to actually read the they give you
a summary which says death and destruction heavy rainstorm
human cause and then it's like you want to read the paper? 35
bucks,
like okay, you're actually charging 35 bucks cash. Yes,
sir.
Yes, sir. Well not cached digital credits through their
through their website. No, it totally sucks. I spent the money
and then like
you did? Yeah, of
course I did. This is well that's part of what The money is
for is to do research.
And that sounds like a waste. Oh,
it is. It's It's unbelievable. And scientists have long been
reluctant to freely to attribute any specific weather event to
global warming. But a handful of papers that do so are beginning
to appear in the scientific literature.
It's top a minute, aren't these same people that say that
climate isn't weather? Yes.
Yeah, it's the same people now they have to combat that.
They're always saying climate isn't weather now they're saying
climate is weather? Yeah, it is. What it what they make up their
mind is climate weather or is climate not whether it's weather
when it suits them.
The paper finds that severe rains that flooded England and
Wales in 2000. Which by the way is the year when scientists said
children would never see snow again. The wettest autumn since
record keeping began there in 1766. Were made substantially
more likely by greenhouse gases released by human activity. are
you releasing greenhouse gases? John? It's just it's just more
seriously the next in five years from now. It'll be too many
people causing rain. Now it's just people. Soon, humans too
many humans. This is
I don't know. I don't have a clip from it. But I did watch
Bill Gates was on the Charlie Rose show this last week. Oh,
crap. I missed it. Yeah, well, I have it. I still I think I still
have it on the VCR. Or the DVR. I can't believe that I watch it.
I watch it. It was like,
was he on is like killing people thing again? Yeah.
Yeah, pretty much. He doesn't know that he is because his
argument is that, you know, we've discovered he's always
swallowing what we're discovering, he says is that
when people are healthier, they have less kids and the
population declines. Right. And that's a good thing.
Right? So we got to like, kill them early. I guess that's
basically his thing, right? Yeah, no, it's, it's just so
many, so many publications. Because of course, whenever this
comes out, then everyone jumps on it. And no one reads the
actual serve. No one reads the actual study. And it's hard.
It's hard to get through. And you know, what they did is they
is they, they it's again, it's all based on computer models.
The same computer models, I might add that predicted this
horrible, no fly conditions. Remember the volcanic eruption
from Iceland? Oh, you can't fly? Oh, you're all gonna die. And of
course, the models were wrong, admittedly wrong, but it's the
same guys with the same computers. And what they do is
say, well, here now we just took out everything in the model
except for the human activity, which they apparently have
perfectly measured. And then it's clear that the science is
in right there. It is so obvious. Humans are causing this
weather. So it's not just climate. You're right, but it's
also weather there whenever it suits him. The researchers were
xiangqi Minh and Zubin Zhang. The main the main guys who you
can't really find that. You can't really you can't really
find them in Wikipedia. But yeah, I'm sorry. It's $32 is
what it is $32 to access the data. But of course, it's a
commercial outfit, this nature.com
So, you know, by the way, I just want to back up on Bill Gates
again. The son has been bought bugging me and I was noticing
this I wanted to bring this up on a few shows ago. There's
these people that and Bill's one of them. Well, you'd be talking
with where he and you watch him on television did very
unnerving. There's a number of interesting, weird habits a lot
of people have and if you ever seen for example, The Simpsons
and Dr. Hibbert every time Dr. Hibbert says anything at the end
of each sentence, he laughs and I've run into people like this,
if you ever if you're in an airplane or sent me here on a
date, they say, Well, I know I was just there the other day.
Yeah, there's nervousness. And I
went, I bought a couple of tomatoes. Right? So anyway, the
other one is the what I call the inappropriate smile.
Ya know, we've talked about this. You've mentioned this the
inappropriate is a
pet peeve of mine, that yak yak yak yak get smile yet get get,
you know, well, anyway, I don't want to get into that. Who
are you who you're sitting next to?
Was it was just, well, the laughing person. I sat next to
somebody recently. The you know, let's say something laughs say
something laugh. But it was built again when I was watching
him because he'll be saying, well, I know and it looks like
the vaccines and speak smile and then the smell goes away. Right
and I don't know. So anyway, the big news as far as I I'm
concerned this week is the fractal that occurred at the Toy
Fair. Oh, with the new, but then you'll figure out what the
fractal is when I described this they updated the Monopoly game.
Well, they already did this right with the deal. I know we
talked about on the show where they'd have credit cards now in
the game. Well, it's gotten worse. Oh, hold on. There's no
real fractal. All right,
what are we still it's a new it's a basically a new was kind
of a new board some of the stuffs there it is, there's all
it's all virtual money, no more, you know, being able to you
know, steal money from your sister and that kind of thing.
But they've added a computerized system in the middle of it that
and let me just read this to you kind of get an idea where it
used to be in the middle with the chance we throw the dice it
used to be chance and community chest you put
you got the cards in the middle and then the money for get get
out of
it for red tower with a speaker that issues instructions,
tracking the money and make sure players adhere to the rules. In
other words, there's a there's a pair of speakers that are
blurting out no you can't do that. No, you can't do this.
We need to hack it so that it plays like no jingle stop no
agenda jingles and stuff. You know, like all of a sudden is
like
take your meds, John, it's your turn to roll. I know you don't
even roll the dice anymore. Do
you? I don't even know what this thing this this is commissar
whatever it sounds like some Soviet it sounds like something
Stalin would have dreamed up as far as you aren't. Adam, your
turn Do you want to buy a house? Hey, got mortgage. So these
idiots that Hasbro say they hope that computerized monopoly will
appeal to a generation raised on video game.
Well, this this, of course, is the real news that took place
here. Anyway, yeah, the real news that took place here was
IBM Watson is in jeopardy right?
And I've been writing column after column about it.
Alright, so I that helped me out because I'm trying to
deconstruct what took place here. For those of you who do
not live in gizmo nation, United States, the game so game show
Jeopardy. Most Europeans pronounce it as g o party. But
it's actually pronounced Jeopardy. And spelt like
Jeopardy. It is spelt like G O party. So they had the IBM Big
Watson, which consisted of all kinds of blinking lights and a
computer device. And it played along and of course, they had a
couple of pre round. She could
jump in the computer voice. I'm sorry. You sounded like the
computer voice.
I've been studying this. So anyway, so the big news is of
course that it got a question wrong and Final Jeopardy,
although, of course, it actually won the game but just listen to
this for a second and then I have something else to play
which I think is where all this is coming from Jeopardy category
is US cities. And here is the clue. Its largest airport is
named for a world war two hero. Its second largest for a world
war two battle. 30 seconds players Good luck. Somebody I I
actually took the time to cut out the music because I thought
that was kind of irritating. I think I get what it is. 2400 For
this final going in. And you wrote down what is Chicago? That
is correct. And you wagered $2,400 that doubles your score.
4800 down to Brad now he had 5400 I have to feel that he came
up with the correct response, did he? Yes. And the wager,
doing almost everything you can $5,000 takes you up to 10,400.
Now to our leader Watson going into final 36,006 81. And the
response was, what is Toronto with a lot of question marks
which means, of course that Watson had many, many doubts.
Yeah, that's what my computer always does. When a doubt
something, it gives all kinds of question marks. He said this was
so bogus, this whole thing
was bogus. Do I wrote up a column in PC Magazine saying I
think it was for one thing that was it was essentially, and a
friend of mine who wrote a column in Cisco and he says it's
like that. Those classic man races horse things, you get a
horse and a guy runs really quick. And they run the duel.
There had to be some kind of message, right? Because the
thing wins by like, you know, $5 Yeah, I mean, it beats
everybody. He's got $30,000 These schmucks got like four
grand
it They can't hit the button as fast as this. No, no,
no, this was but this was Final Jeopardy. I mean, even when
Final Jeopardy and lost or went away they have it still won the
game, but they've got, you know, they have some sophisticated
voice recognition. I mean, you can't tell me that. This is
like, this is what you don't play get you don't play gambling
on the internet, because it's rigged. Computers are rigged is
this is this to make us the only thing I could come up with? Is
it to make us feel like we can still beat the machine, there's
still a chance, whereas the whole thing was rigged from
beginning to end. Of course, the questions were already loaded in
what now all of a sudden, they have massive voice recognition
that they can translate Alex Trebek Well,
no, they they never did that. It wasn't done that way. There was
no voice recognition involved. It was just it was the written
material rent straight into the computer. So
they already had that in the computer.
Well, when you when they asked the question, supposedly the
computer got it. Right.
Right, right. And all those lights blinking weren't
necessary, please. This is to train stupid human resources
that the computer knows all and that it still can make mistakes
question mark, question mark, question mark, but it still wins
the game at the end. It's so obvious. And you know why?
Here's the real reason why going back two weeks in time. This is
why they actually are promoting this Watson thing. Kathleen
Kenyon's
excavation of this city mentioned in Joshua showed the
walls had been repaired 17 times. Watson. What is Jericho?
I love it. What is Jericho? Fantastic pre recorded but it's
not a synthesized voice. It's a it's a vocoded voice after
beating two former Jeopardy champions and a practice round
earlier this year, IBM Watson is getting ready for its star turn
on the show. No more practice. Tonight's the real thing, same
category 400. But IBM is hoping for more out of the
supercomputer than just Jeopardy bragging rights. What could it
be? Why is IBM doing this? This
goes way beyond playing a game show. Watson has embedded in it
not only high performance computing, but deep analytics,
analytics that can sift through massive amounts of information
to get to answers that are relevant to people who are using
it very, very quickly. Watson, what is creed? Yes, we hope that
one of your next versions
of Watson will be we affectionately called Dr. Watson
Oh, Dr. Watson what maybe for the health care bill, it will
buy this health care industry. And we hope that it will help
doctors save lives. So everywhere that someone comes on
to talk about this, bloggers, and people that like some some
chick was on Bill O'Reilly, they all slip it in? Well, you know,
it's analytical. This just shows you the power that's coming to
healthcare, that, you know, Dr. Watson can can really, you know,
analyze your problem and within seconds tell you exactly which
vaccine you need.
So, what I found interesting about this, and I knew about
this doctor, or Watson MD, I think they're gonna call it is
like this whole expert systems for the medical professions
first appeared in the in the early 1980s. And then it kind of
went on for almost, I don't know, five or six or seven
years, is it a big deal to have these things because in those
days, it was cool, because you could let nurses run the machine
and the you didn't need these expensive doctors to do
diagnosis. And then for some unknown reason, that thing just
disappeared off the face of the earth to reemerge is this thing.
It's there's definitely some marketing. Sounds crazy. It
sounds a little more than we're doing.
I'm telling you this, this, this was a setup and they made him
win yet. Question Mark five question marks, which is no, I
agree. The question mark thing is really weird.
Because it was a setup. It was set. I mean, oh, boy. What a
mistake. Toronto.
Yeah. And where do you get Toronto? What's the name of the
two airports there? Do you have your machine handy? I didn't
think of looking these up. But where would you come to that?
You know, that question is actually of all the questions
they've asked that that whole day, that was one of the easier
ones. Because all you had to do was just take a fixed list of
all the airports and then you know, in the major cities, and
then I think would refer to American cities and they say
that's what the short Toronto would be out. But whatever,
John, you're you're talking like you actually believe that this
thing was like connected somehow and no, that's
what I'm saying if this thing of all the questions that it should
have answered easily that one is the one at the top of the list
as far as I'm concerned, because it's it's just basically a
checklist question. And if you have all these if apparently
have all this information programmed into the machine, how
come that wasn't in there doesn't make any sense?
I'm looking at the reasonings Ronseal screwed up on the clue
of a screw up on the clue comes up with a clunker, whatever is
stupid, it's just a to teach you slaves to the machine is great
and you still have a chance of beating it.
I can argue with you. I'm not gonna disagree. Yeah. And the
thing that I'm bringing up in a column I'm going to put in
MarketWatch is if this thing is so great. Where's our search
engine? I want to you know, Ask Jeeves is this kind of thing is
simple that you could should be able to ask ask it any English
question in the world. And it should be able to answer it if
that's true. Let's put it online and beat Google. Yeah.
In to set Yeah. Why Why bother was the health care? Through?
Yeah, IBM Blue search away?
Billions and billions of dollars. Yeah. Why? Because it's
bull. Anyway, I just thought it was funny, because everyone's
debating how the how it could get the question wrong. Because
it's fake. It's phony, you're being hoodwinked. It's Tommy
rot, I tell you. So let's thank some people. I think we did a
good show last week.
I was I was reasonable.
It seemed it seems like people appreciated it more than the
weeks before, although that, I think, is the slope. Now
unfortunately, we've kind of concluded that if we don't throw
in a Bieber or Lady Gaga into the show, we just don't get as
much donations. And you know that everyone's doing that. Now.
They're all copying. Say again, Justin Bieber. Ted something
about healthcare in Canada. And so they all the news stations,
everyone's like, well, you know, Justin Bieber, does he have a
point? It does he have a future in politics?
Like, Oh, brother, Justin Bieber, although
I will say I will say I saw him on the on the Grammys, which
actually was a damn fine show. He kind of messed up at the end
as some of these Ken Ehrlich productions do. But he was good.
I have to say Kate is very talented. No doubt about he
and he's also very personable. He's cute, so just cute. And he
knows it. Yeah, that's not so close. Thanks. And people. Some
are executive producers for this show. And the producers Brian,
the core chick in Panama City, Florida. The nice donation of
$500 You'd be the executive producer of today's show. Wow.
And he's
he's a first time donor. So it looks like keep up the good work
because all he has to say which I like short and sweet. We also
have another standalone executive producer so sir gear,
who requests them and he's gave us $444 Who gave us karma for
Sir Paul T for as examine University applications for his
son Dan, for a more rewarding job and for his daughter Tina,
and for thesis and exam if you throw karma you've got karma.
Happy to do that. Thank
you, sir. Gear.
That's awesome. A Colin Sloman in London, the UK to under $79
into tuner $79 club. He will be the Associate Executive Producer
for show 279 And that will be that takes
also a brand new donor and not a Boehner. And how do you spell
watch this? I can't see it. Sloman, is that what it is Colin
slob,
Colin. Colin Sloman slo ma n.
And so that is the only member of the 279 club
I thought to came in but I didn't see it on the
spreadsheet. I do like I
do like seeing the new the new human resources and they're
giving levels on the show it may not you know sir here is always
appreciated. But he's done so much. He's a sir, for Christ's
sakes. Triple Is he a triple Knight by now? It's
unbelievable. You know? Just a couple of PR mentions that I'd
like to mention we've got green dice coming out in honor of St.
Patrick's Day the green no agenda dice. Chris is putting
that together and you can go to no agenda dice.com And they will
be pre order the dice now between now and March 17. After
St. Patrick's Day, these green die will be retired. Not coming
back and 100% of the profits go to the show.
We were nice. Yeah, we
would really appreciate that. Couple of domain name forwards.
Guy has to make sure I go guy Burton has forwarded World's
Greatest podcast.com to no agenda show.com Wow, that's
a really good one. I can't believe no one registered that.
It's always amazing to me which props up
it really is. We have double rainbow all the way across the
sky.com it's an easy one to remember. Thank you GLM 216 on
Twitter for that. We have Oh, this was interesting. Hi, John
and Adam. This is from Jim. I sometimes listen to no agenda
with my Russian wife a bit. She says, Hi, John, what do you
think it right now? I'm already thinking like, Ah, I've got like
Russian spy in my mind. And it's a great source of new words for
her. I'll hear oh yeah, I'll hear her practicing the new
words she's picked up from you guys. She says things like de
deuced and douchebag keys. Imagine a Russian hot Russian
Chi Gong douchebag today, I had your new jingle stuck in my head
and sang it a couple of times in the kitchen. The catchy tunes
soon stuck in my wife's head as well. And she started singing to
for a.com/on a two for all that's T V o r o g is some kind
of cottage cheese type stuff in Russia. But you might get a kick
out of that go to TV orog.com Of course the jingle was
for.org/and A apparently we're confusing the Russian human
resources who are thinking Why do I have to buy cheese to
support these guys? To kind of cork
that's why the no Russian buys cheese. Cheese. They've been
buying cheese saying we've been supporting you guys all along.
Last week, one more domain name for it bullshit. filter.com now
points to no agenda. show.com That's a nice one. I like that.
That's another one that's a winner Yes. And one day and get
mo nation the novel which is of course based on this program and
approved by the show. Even though John's never read it. I
have I liked it very much.
No, actually, I have the book and I've been reading it. Isn't
it funny? Yeah, it's very good. Actually. I was I was stunned.
In fact, it should. He should go out and get an agent and push
that thing into the mainstream. Well, one
day and get my nation is now available at Amazon, Barnes and
Noble, et cetera. So I've got all the links in the show notes
that no agenda show.com I guess it won't be at borders very
long. But otherwise, it is it is out and available in digital
form. It supports the show. So we really appreciate appreciate
that and you just heard it. John kind of likes the book too. So
far.
I kind of like it. I like it. It's good. The guy's a good
writer.
I liked it very much because it had all of our memes in there.
Like every page is like a brother. There's another one.
Funny. All right, so thanks to Brian lecarre shake our
executive producer for episode 279. Also executive producer sir
gear. We really appreciate your giving in your love pulling away
ahead of the one percenter club and our social executive
producer and 279 club member Colin Sloman This is once again
a credit that you can put anywhere where credit is is
needed you can put it on your resume and unlike the phony
baloney is in Hollywood will actually vouch for you if you
need us to talk to somebody all the rest of you out there go out
propagate that formula we need you to do it our formula is this
we go out we hit people in the mouth
shut up slave $9 million piece of crap no wonder they No wonder
they look down at us totally worth $9 million in your entire
lifetime human resource All right, I got tons of stuff but I
sent you a couple things Yeah, yes. Thanks for doing Kipps did
you do clips on remote? Did you bring them with you?
I brought him with me. Okay, cool. I actually did I produced
the clips well on the air aeroplane. So I come to the
conclusion that Timothy Geithner sounds like beaver have Leave It
to Beaver.
I don't think many people remember that anymore. But yeah,
it may have still on TV Land, but He sounds just like a little
kid. And I ended up getting some clips and he also never says
that he never answers questions. He just speaks in government
double talk and he nods
his head ferociously when they're asking questions, you
notice that
sometimes Yeah, he's like you don't double talk he never
answers a question and then when he answers a question that gives
idiotic answers I think I've got three clips there from him. One
of them is the readme those titles because I can't
double talking investment thinks he has a good deal
thinks he has a good deal just this is one of the congressmen
asking him a question they basically that is he ever
actually worked for a living and then he and then he says you
know that they're they're gonna give everybody in small business
guys are gonna give them a $9,000 break on their tax
unemployment, taxes, but they're gonna jack them up to 63,000 on
the back end, and disguises who's gonna what kind of a deal
is this but play it computed is.
Well, I guess it leads me next question. Have you ever been an
employer and paid these taxes? I mean, I have I've written the
checks every quarter to the
I, unfortunately, have been in the public sector. Bull crap.
The the bank of the Federal Bank of New York Federal Reserve Bank
of New York said really public sector really
all my life. But I have helped manage of substantial
organizations that people
no no fault in that. But it does give a difference in context.
The reason that I wanted to clarify that the
administration's budget pages 184 and 191, describes your
unemployment insurance proposals offering $9 billion in relief to
employers through 2013. And then subsequently tax hikes totaling
$67 billion over over the next decade. If you were an employer
as I was, or many of us on the committee, were paying those
checks, and we're looking at long term capital investment
forecast trying to decide whether to hire or not hire,
what to do. If your employer having to face that decision.
Would you think that getting for example, $9,000 in relief now,
in exchange for a $67,000 tax tab in the future? Through
increased unemployment, insurance taxes is really a good
deal.
Oh, I do think it's a good deal. Because our job is to figure out
what makes sense for them.
That's a good Yeah, ha, that's a great deal. What are you talking
about? Can't you see it's a great deal.
I was just like flabbergasted. He's the guy says, I mean, it's
just a setup question is one of those questions you ask knowing
what the answer is, but he actually says, Do you think you
think it's a good deal to have your arm chopped off, chopped
off and getting kicked in the nuts as opposed to having
nothing done to you? No, no, I do think it's a great deal.
Can I play a little clip from Austin to hook into this. Austan
Goolsbee II? Yeah, so So goals, B goes to the whiteboard, I can
just see, I've got to go to the whiteboard. I need to explain
this to everybody. Since that little Timmy guide, you messed
it up again. So he has to explain how this works. Explain
how this works for the, for the small businesses in America. And
it's he has a phrase in here, which is just hilarious. Here's
Austin goals, be Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers
remember everybody
last. Austin, of course, is trained in public speaking, he
was won many, many awards for debating. And this will be
Austin, Goolsbee, Shalev robotics.
And today I wanted to talk to you about entrepreneurs and
startups in this country.
So this is him explaining explaining how this works. Now,
everyone
knows that some of the biggest greatest companies in the United
States that employ hundreds of 1000s of people started as some
person in their garage with an idea.
This, by the way, yeah. Now, everything started with some guy
in his garage. Yeah, just so you know, really, yeah, this and
that. It's responsible for that
down and everything that was what?
Well, you know what this is, I don't have a garage, I got a
garage, you can use my garage to park the car on the street. No,
Austin's got it, man. He's He's figured out how to do this, how
to present our next level of growth in this country. And over
a 13 year period that we had the data, those startup new
companies created more than 40 million jobs.
Wow. I'd love to see his data on that. 40 million jobs in India,
they've been the great engine of our growth. And all across the
country, people we talked to have raised issues that startups
have trying to get to be big companies.
So I'm thinking, This is good. I'm, I'm a little entrepreneur,
I'm a startup, maybe I can get me some help. How about you,
John, you willing to get some help?
I'm looking forward to it. They have to cross what in the
business they referred to as the valley of death.
This is like what have you ever heard? I've started several
companies in my life. Have you ever heard of the valley of
death? No.
Well, I mean, this is referred to the Small Business
Administration. That's kind of the wall Washington, it's always
referred to as the bottomless pit.
No, it's the valley he has a drawing of a little dude on the
left, then a huge drop, like a huge valley of death. And wood
looks like rocks and stuff at the bottom. And then on the
right hand side, a factory. So the it's like Angry Birds. The
idea is for the little dude, I'm sure we should make this into an
app. The little dude on the left has to jump over the valley of
death, to get to the big factory, that he really wants to
be
a series of problems of getting access to capital and other
things that they need to grow. And it is for that, that the
President outlined the Startup America program.
I don't know if it played the whole thing
is Is was this a lecture given to an eighth grade class? I
mean, what's the deal?
That's this is how your government thinks of you. This
is the White House, whiteboard, and Austen Goolsbee, a hired
speaker, to tell you how to cross the valley of death, which
apparently, is a term that has been used forever by
entrepreneurs. Startup America is an ambitious
effort that enrolls the private sector with the federal
government to try to exert another website. It's another
website involved with this bullcrap.
No, but I love how the federal government involved with private
business Oh, hello, small business leaders what they need
it the scam is apparent in just a second, they'll tell you what
it is.
We talked to hundreds of small business people around the
country to figure out what the important needs were. And we
have identified several things, the federal government is going
to be contributing four components to try to build a
bridge across the valley of death.
You got to build a bridge across the valley of death. It's like
John Wayne could play this terrible evil, man, we got to
cross this valley of death, get to the factory on the other
side. Now we're going to do that Austin, you're going to lead us
across that valley of death. Those include first access to
capital.
We're putting in an extra $2 billion of matching funds for
venture capital and other private sector investors who are
trying to
there's a scam right there. There's the scam. They're gonna
match venture capital with $2 billion. What is this? Are they
in the hedge fund business now and the bull? So it's like
Kleiner, Perkins and Sequoia and all these guys. They're like,
Oh, yeah, just give us 2 billion we'll put in 2 billion promise.
Promise we will, uh, we'll manage it. By the way, we'll
take our fee is Unbeliev This is the elites at work. Disgusting.
Don't want to play the rest of the bills go back to Little
Timmy, who's the butt boy of the elites?
Just play the double talk when he tried to tell me what he
said. Because he never answers the question, which by the way,
is part par for the course. And I just can't blame with the
Obama administration. Obama doesn't answer the questions
either, by the way, but he doesn't answer the question. But
what he says is like if you actually wrote it out, those
like the wrong words are all over interspersed. And then it's
occasional little phrases that just chopped in there for no
good reason. If you actually wrote it out and then tried to
analyze it, you wouldn't make zero sense of it and would
actually sound like you're an idiot. To me, there's
a lot of fear, frankly, at the small business to the midsize
business lab, the
valley of death. No wonder there's a lot of fear. This is
the Valley of John, I can see the valley of death right in
front of me
about hiring now that we add on another issue with UI the
proposed tax increases in the budget. I guess, I guess my
final question would be this if if you were an employer, and
you're trying to make decisions with cash, longer term, would
you think that with this looming tax hike that you personally
would be eager to take on new liabilities to hire people?
Well, Congressman, again, I would I would try and look at as
the following. I'd say just two things. One is liquid businesses
across the country are doing today. And we're kicking
employees out.
Okay, so right away, he doesn't answer even come close to
answering the question. And he's got that nervous believe it the
beaver
does a little if you look at what's happened to the recovery
over the last 18 months. And businesses are expanding
investment businesses at an accelerating rate pretty strong
rate much more rapidly than GDP is growing overall. And we've
created more than a million private sector jobs just in the
last three quarters much more much more quickly than the last
two recessions that were much milder recessions. And so we got
a long way to go. But we're making progress. Now, I would
look at the overall mix of proposals in the President's
budget on the tax side, because it is my view, that if you look
at their overall impact on business and competitiveness,
they are very strong, very powerful help improve
investments for incentives for investment in this country,
helping Putin incentives for innovation. We think those are
good for growth long term, but you have to look at the overall
package of it not just the specific tax cuts for
businesses, but their broader reforms as a whole.
What is the representative say to this doublespeak, as you say,
Yeah, that's great, but could you just answer the damn
question Little Timmy,
I I appreciate your sentiment. I guess if I were facing an
increase in personal and capital gains tax rate to 44% combined
with things like this, it might create a bit of a disincentive
for that but it will win in a different place with that.
Stupid is a stupid What a waste of time. What a waste. Waste of
human space. These people are Crikey.
Anyway, this this this Geithner testimony went on and on and on
it was all the same. He never said anything. He had all these,
you know, basically just beat around.
I'm amazed you watched it. I couldn't watch this. I'm like,
Timmy. Well, I can only get those two clips. I mean, I
didn't get much out of it. I'd love watch the Obama press
conference. And I'd be surprised catching him stammering in a
funny way that reminds me stet Tavis Smiley this black. You
were on PBS? PBS stammers and what's interesting to me is that
the stammer that the two of them exhibit is an identical stammer
to such an extreme that I think it's almost like a meal you
characterization in other words, it's like you know, some there's
certain different sub communities whether it's
blue hang out together and and yeah, they start to pick up
right. Yes, it's like what I always say about radio station
guys off air they'll totally this man I'ma I don't know, they
talk in this like short bursts of that. Hey, good, good.
Recommend you Shabbat that's how they talk. Seriously, you know
what I'm saying? Right? Yeah, it's unbelievable. Emma, I'm no
good. A member and then they go really softly. Emma. I'm not
kidding. This is Amelia of radio guys.
So you can play the little stammering clip is very short.
But I do have the Tavis Smiley one which I I had an I sent it
up a few weeks ago. We never used it. But it's very similar.
But this but you can play me you can hear him. stammering it's
very short. But there's lots of stammering in here partisanship.
And finally, do you think the markets will wait to
written all this down? Zack, I'm running out of room here in my
brain. My question. Well, let me let me just speak to speak to
this generally.
Yeah, was that amazing? Yeah. Let me let me let me let me
speak to this general. He's not a very good speaker. Somebody
pointed this out. And once they said it, I said no, I never even
think about it. He's a great reader. Yes. It's you know, he
reads a teleprompter the minute
he has the ad lib smoke comes out of his ears. That's what's
happening. Well, he's
good with the short one liner. I've seen him you know, with
Letterman, some of the new he's really good with a kind of a
concise little joke. He's he's actually quite funny. I think
he's got a must have a good sense of humor, because his
lines are really sharp. But when he's trying to talk he'll do.
It's almost close to being stuttering, but it's classic
stammering but it's exactly the same and almost over the same
words that Tavis Smiley has his stammering over. And I find it
kind of fascinating. But anyway,
it would have been more impactful if we had the Tavis
Smiley a stammer, I wish
if I wasn't, I'll put them together eventually, because
it's not going to end
well as a good speaker. Unless you want to continue about
Obama's stammering No. A good speaker is of course our
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. She can do a speech
boy, I don't know if she has teleprompters. I don't think so.
Well, she talks with one word at a time. Yeah, but it
comes out it flows pretty well. I have to I seems to
pick up on the fact that she's talking to one word at a time
like she's talking to a four year old. Well, I don't think
it's a good speaker. I disagree with you.
Well, here's a she had a speech at a university and it's all
about internet freedom. Freedom, we gotta have internet freedom
because of course, very interesting for her to come up
come out and say you know, internet freedom, because she
wasn't too happy about WikiLeaks slamming her but of course you
know, we need to disrupt everything and keep those oil
prices high we need to internet freedom and how dare these evil
people in other countries cut down on the internet access? Of
course it's happening here right under our very noses and we're
just oblivious to it we think we're all free. So I picked up
on something which I needed to follow up on and I did this is
from her speech you can follow you can watch the whole thing
which I advise you do because a lot of little nuggets in here
which is kind of interesting. She She denounces in this as
well she actually uses the denounce no denunciation.
But this is the piece that Den is a little a little ditty in
here which I picked up on almost see if you can find this John.
Finding this proper measure for the interview I apologize
apparently is only one channel but you'll be able to hear your
net is critical. Because the qualities that make the internet
a force for unprecedented progress, its openness, its
leveling effect, its reach and speed. Also enable wrongdoing on
an unprecedented scale. terrorist and extremist groups
use the Internet to recruit members and plot and carry out
attacks. Human traffickers use the internet to find and lore
new victims into modern day slavery. child pornographers use
the internet to exploit children.
Notice she says child pornographers, child
pornographers, not pedophiles, child pornographers, always
interesting.
Hackers break into financial institutions, cell phone
networks and personal email accounts. So we need successful
strategies for combating these threats and more, without
constricting the openness that is the internet's greatest
attribute. The United States is aggressively tracking and
deterring criminals and terrorists online. We are
investing in our nation's cybersecurity both to prevent
cyber incidents and to lessen their impact. We are cooperating
with other countries to fight transnational crime in
cyberspace. The United States government invests in helping
other nations build their own law enforcement capacity. We
have also ratified the Budapest sider Cybercrime Convention,
which sets out the steps countries must take to ensure
that the internet is not misused by criminals and terrorists,
while still protecting the liberties of our own citizens.
So that's the one that I caught. She says, We have also ratified
the Bouddha Budapest convention on cybercrime. Which means if we
ratify some
way, by the way, she speaks one word at a time, and I don't see
how you get this good speaker out of that. I mean, it's hard
to listen to her for
John, it was a bullshit transition just to get to
Clinton do care. Can you just get to the Budapest convention
for a second? Yes, I do care. The Budapest convention on
cybercrime. Have you ever heard of this? I know never. Okay,
well, when she says we have ratified that which apparently
we have three. Yeah. Which means I guess it's a treaty and we now
adhere to it. It's the law of the land. Basically. Yeah. So
this treaty, actually is restricting freedom of speech.
Oh, yes. Very, very interesting. So I you can lose some weight
belies what she just said, went on and on about, this is my
entire point. So I've pulled this up. And there's a couple of
things. It's about making racist and xenophobic motivated
insults. Politically Correct. Exactly. Insulting publicly
insulting minute, insulting publicly? Well, let me let me
let me read the article five properly, each party that's
mean, each country that assigned this which includes the United
States of Europe, shall adopt such legislative and other
measures as may be necessary to establish as criminal offenses
under its domestic law when committed intentionally and
without right the following conduct insulting publicly
through a computer system, persons for the reason that they
belong to a group distinguished by race, color descent, or
national or ethnic origin, as well as religion if used as a
pretext for any of these factors, a group of persons
which is distinguished by any of these characteristics,
know Jewish jokes, or Muslim jokes. No jokes.
But this all here Article Six, also forbidden denial, gross
minimization, gross minimization. But to me, this is
crazy. I mean, if you win,
this is the this is the topic of the day that does just a mind
boggler
It absolutely blew my mind. And we have ratified this, and I
have no idea when this happened, this thing apparently came into
play in 2006. And literally, it's like, you cannot, you
cannot commit the act of gross minimization of anybody to I
can't say so if anyone says, Well, you know, this Muslim
thing. You know, I think that kind of crazy. That is illegal.
On the internet,
if it's on a computer or in computer network, and this just
blew me away. So I was like, and by the way, she does this all
the time herself. How many people have not
what is the law? What is the enforcement capabilities of this
treaty? And and what are the fines and punishment or any at
all, there's just a bogus treaty that somebody signed just to be
nice. Well,
the idea is by mistake. I mean, that's like saying that the
Lisbon Treaty is bogus. I mean, of course, you know, the elites
will apply this whenever they want to. But the idea is you
sign on to it, you must create laws within your own country
that adhere to the protocols of the convention. I know how to
read these things. So they've done it's not very hard, by the
way, it's like a one pager. And you can pull out if you want,
but you
have all it is just about being mean on the internet. Yes,
article 15.
And this is my favorite denunciation. Any party made
anytime denounce this protocol by means of a notification
addressed to the Secretary General of the Council of
Europe. So you have to denounce it publicly. You have to say,
we're not going to participate, which of course, we'll never do,
but anyway, we've ratified it so and Clintons, right, they're
saying and so I presume, as a very powerful person with inside
our government that laws will be made against racist and it was
xenophobia, the actual definition, John. Well, I
know what it is, but what's the actual definition?
Hold on a second. I'll pull that up, because I looked it up. And
I was I was rather astounded. Xen, no. Phobia Here we go.
Generally, I always thought it meant the yeah, check it a fear
of small magazines.
Well, it could be intense or irrational dislike or fear of
people from other countries. That is the definition of
xenophobia. So if I say on the on the internet wow, I don't
like those a RABs. I mean, I'm violations of the treaty. I
don't like Germans. I don't like Belgians. It's like it. It's
irrational. If it's an irrational dislike xenophobia is
very very broken
have a rational does you never rational dislike but not an
irrational one, right?
If I have a rational Okay, here's one. Those Belgians are
crazy because they still don't have a government after 250
days. So that I think is irrational fear of the Belgians
just blew me away. blew me away. blew me away this thing.
We have to follow up on this. Yeah.
I just say I'd like to know when, when the actual laws are
in place here. I mean, it's when is ice going to take us down?
What are they going to hack our DNS get rid of
us? Well, you know, they shut down 80,000 websites. I think it
was day or two. Yeah, accident
by accident. Yeah, it was kind of funny.
Very funny. Some poor guys. They put the big sign on front of
their website. Did the guys had child pornographer?
Yeah, it was like they had they had a lawsuit
waiting to happen is are they exempt from being sued over this
sort of lease table?
Please? Of course, they're exempt. Of course they aren't.
So I guess the idea that like one subdomain of this this
website was it's like a like a geo City's in a way smarter
like, like a wordpress.com actually a as a better example.
So wordpress.com could easily get shut down the way these guys
are doing it. And they did turn it back on apparently. Yeah. But
yeah,
apparently, Solyndra refreshed and some of these things
apparently we're gonna be actually down for a couple of
days because of the DNS system they were they were they took it
down way deep into the system it's not it doesn't necessarily
get fixed doesn't doesn't
propagate now and of course the the they have little cute little
names for all of these operations where they go and
pack people's hack the internet this is operation protect our
children. Operation protect our children brought to you by ice.
And whenever someone does that, to you know, they're pedophiles.
To just don't do that operation protect our children. Oh my god.
Operation protect our children. Po Bear says
pedo bear has an opinion.
Just unbelievable. I mean, it's I lost a lot of confidence in in
our Gitmo nation. Oh, and you weren't here I guess to see the
this week's episode of NCIS where are you? You were on the
plane.
No, I think I did see that. So to the left on Wednesday, right
so and NCIS that going after some guy and he's got like a
nuke. First of all, he's got a nuke. He's got a nuke in the
back of the truck. And they have to block the this camera footage
from getting out on the internet. And so the guy is in
Central Command and does the following.
Video footage hasn't been streamed anywhere yet, but they
uploaded a copy to a flash drive.
Oh no. They've uploaded a copy to a flash drive script. What
are we gonna do NCIS gotta do something. Can I help help What
can you do
first we got to shoot a couple people right in the head by the
way in the head driver and passenger down
seven day a woman left shot him into his neck using a nuclear
cover don't miss me go
into the lab empty quiver is secure stop this video Eric
videos already in the cloud the auto run script executable is
about to go live. I'm almost there
video has been disabled guys. What did you do? Now you use a
VNC controller to piggyback the upload with a Trojan and crop
the streaming data packets by initiating stack buffer
like that in English, Mr. Beale. Oh, I broke the internet. Oh.
Croc, by the way, that is insane. Yes, Los Angeles, you
should get your show straight.
I'm sorry. And then they come back again and go one step
further. So first of all, he broke the internet. And now the
question is, how did he do that? What did he do with the video?
Shut down in it. The whole internet? Yeah. Even Twitter.
Even Twitter, the whole internet? Yes. They shut it
down. This is and you know, our theory is that these shows are
meant to suggest mind controlling thoughts to the
human resources. And now everyone knows the government
can do I saw him do on television.
He just used like, finding the reflection off the lug nut of
the guy in the window three blocks away with the gun.
All he had to do was use the VNC controller to cause a Stack
Overflow a stack buffer overflow and he was done. He broke the
internet.
Guys amazing. Unbelievable how easy it is for him.
I think he used some COBOL and skip logic somewhere in there
guys. Amazing. It's crazy. Well, I'll tell you, we've got a we
got to work on something the President is visiting as we
speak with Mark Zuckerberg. Hello, Mark. I need my
dashboard.
Love to see that that meeting. Oh, and by the way I have I do
have a clip of Obama. You know, he mentioned him I want to play
just a real quick one. This is an example of how you you lie by
not answering the question. It sounds like you answered the
question. And this is great government work. By the way. It
sounds like you answered the question. But if you really
dissect the answer, you didn't answer the question. You just
suggested an answer.
Have you been placing calls for your friend Rahm Emanuel, for
his mayoral campaign in Chicago? Thank you.
I'll take the last question. First. I don't have to make
calls for Rahm Emanuel. He seems to be doing just fine on his
own.
We got to remember that. Well, let me answer the last question
first, so that you forget about that actual question you asked.
That's a great technique.
The whole thing is great. And he says, you know, it's like, so
have you still been beat? I don't have to beat my wife.
You know, before we get an answer,
anything's like, did you do that? I don't have to do that. I
don't have to. She beats herself enough. Okay.
By answering it. There's no no Yes or No. You say no, I didn't.
Yes, I didn't. or Yes, I did. Whatever you say, I don't have
to do that. I don't somebody else. I don't have to do
that's it's a great app. Did you steal that? I don't That's what
Lindsay Lohan steal it. I didn't. I didn't have to steal.
So you missed another momentous moment, John at the Ministry of
Truth as Jay Carney and this is the new shill who has come in as
the press secretary replacing Robert, something on my lip
Gibbs. So he's the new spokes hole for the White House. And he
has
he has some when I missed his first press conference. Oh,
yeah.
Yeah, I watched the whole thing with bated breath. And so I've
got a couple of quick clips here. Of course, the pressing,
you know, there, he doesn't quite know the order to call on
and everything so he's calling on the wrong dudes. They've got
like, really smart questions. And, and they're also taking
advantage of it. They're like, Yeah, let's let's let's mess
with the new guy. And one of the stupid questions like, Who do
you want the playing you on Saturday Night Live, please?
Stupid vich stupid from Fox or something. Anyway, so. So there
was one really important question, which of course was
Hey him. What's up with the Iranian ships in the Suez Canal
dude, which happened that morning. If he tries to shut it
up with a look, you know, you know how This is what Robert
gives. This is what all of the Obama administration does that
look, look, which means Shut up. Look, look, what do you think
you are look, and he tries it, but he really messes it up.
Let me go to Reuters. Yes, Jeff.
Israel says today, Iranian warships planning to sail
through the Suez Canal to Syria. Does the United States do that
as a provocation? And how should Israel react?
Look, I think our position on on Iran O'Brien on a variety of
ways as well now, I would refer you on that specifically to
State Department. Look at the look
in that was it it was no good. It
was a bad look.
No, it was bad. Yeah, he wasn't it wasn't look at pause. And it
has to start you have to start with look, you can babble around
and then say, look in the middle, it
was bad. It was I mean, someone's going Oh, man. I
actually I think that they're probably all gone at the end,
like, Yeah, he did. Okay, hey, hey, hey, kid. Good, okay, for
your first day on the job, except for these little ditties.
And I watch these press conferences religiously on C
span, so you don't have to. And I've never seen this guy, black
journalist stands up and he's got he's got a doozy.
J to the 2008. campaign, the President was so committed to
transparency and openness and the process he said how the
healthcare negotiations on C span. He explained yesterday, he
said the social good negotiators had to be in private otherwise
they couldn't be affected. Can you explain why the difference
in transparency? is health care less? Add on the keys that can
you reconcile those missions? Why one is in private? One
should be on CSPAN, every part of the process.
So to now so the question that's it's, it's a trick question,
essentially, to get them to mess up and he's and everyone piled
jumps, he's gonna start to answer and everyone's gonna pile
jump on if you said, you know, like, well, you know, not
everything should be done in public. I mean, not everything.
The administration is committed to openness and transparency, we
are also committed to getting things done. And I don't think
the President said that every discussion about entitlement
reform would be held in private, but I think he made clear is, I
think some other leaders on Hill on the Hill have made clear that
one of one of the lessons we've learned in in in history in
recent history, and anyway about tackling these big, difficult
issues is that it helps to have quieter conversations about
about some of the issues so that as the President said, when an
agreement is reached, first of all, we can get there, and then
we all get into the boat at the same time. So it doesn't tip
over.
The opposite of what the press listened, and said about the
health care negotiations on C span. He said he regretted that
they that he hadn't been more open about that after the show
acting
well. But like I said, JC
like to he's trying to back out of the fact that the President
said this negotiating
behind closed doors, but bringing all parties together.
And broadcasting those negotiations on C span, some of
the American people can see what the choices are because they
have to do is enlist the American people in this process,
I would put my plan forward. And I would welcome input and say
you're my goals, reduce costs, increase quality, coverage for
everybody. If you have better ideas, please present them. But
these negotiations will be on C span. And so the public will be
part of the conversation. That's true. And we'll see the choices
that are being made. I respect what the claim has tried to do
in 1993. And moving health reform forward. But they made
one really big mistake. And that is they took all their people
and all their experts into a room and then they they closed
the door. We will work on this process publicly. It'll be on C
span. It will be streaming over the streaming overhead the
negotiations televised. So people can see who is making
arguments on behalf of their constituencies man who has made
who are making arguments on behalf of the drug companies
insurance company. But here's the thing, oh, we're gonna do
all these negotiations on CSOD. C span. America, American people
will break the watch associations, drug and insurance
companies will have a seat at the table. They just won't be
able to buy every single chair. And we will have a public
process for forming this plan. It'll be televised on C span is
going to be exciting.
So I can play this for another hour. C span Yes. C span lying.
So I
guess. See, just because it was bull crap. Yeah. And
then this guy is trying to back out of it. Well, you know, and
by the way, if you notice, the president keeps saying he's the
adult in the room. It's like, Oh,
my God, you seem you picked up you're right. That meme has been
for the last almost a month. Now I keep
saying Well, someone has to be the adult. Correct? Well, when
is he common? What is he showing up? Someone has to be the adult
like you little children, slave children.
It's insulting. Very, very insulting.
So needless to say, this is the type of analysis you won't get
on PBS, which is now for those of you who we've discussed this
many times, but you've got public broadcasting in the
United States of Gitmo nation, which is a completely
commercialized they, they sell commercials, commercials, just
pure commercials,
by the way, right. And this last week, they were complaining
because they want to extract or the Republicans apparently want
to drop the funding for corporate Corporation for Public
Broadcasting. They don't want to really end it. They just want to
take a half a billion out of this huge multibillion dollar
taxpayers money that goes to pay these
guys how much how much was that again, John? Half
$1,000,000,000.05 100
million dollars,
half a billion dollars. And all we're asking for is $5 a month?
Yeah, I know. We're just the low on the totem pole here. But
let's think a few people that are helping us out. Lucas, to
him $120. Sir James Spitzer,
I think I have a note from Lucas. Yeah, I just don't have
$120. For the show. Let me explain him on the $5 a month
program $15 would be more appropriate for the fixed
donation to the show. That plan however, is not available yet.
So this donation is fixing that for all of 2011 recently heard
some shows that I liked very much keep us here. There's proof
John, we've been doing good work. Some shows I like very
much keep up the good work looking forward to receive the
next show in iTunes. You got it. My friend from Austin haste
Luca. Stay Emma.
No, thank you, Lucas. Sir James Spitzer, Jamaica Plains,
Massachusetts, really part of a slide we see every time I see
that I go. They say the same thing. Yeah. Jamaica Plains,
Massachusetts. He's part of a select group of folks, those
born after 1900, whose age plus Berthier adds to 111. So here's
his who gave us on $11.11. When that digs the atom explain how
this works? Yeah, I
think people are catching on to it. It's it's amazing how I'm
concerned because people think it's like some scam we're
running. Which it is, you know, anything we can do, we don't
have half a billion dollars. So we'd like you to take the year
you were born in the last two digits. For me, that would be
64. Add to that the year, the age you turn this year, which to
me will be 47. If that equals 111. That's good karma for you.
And you should consider donating a fractal of 11 which could be
$11.11 per month, we'd be very happy with that as well.
Bob apple, but no number of people send us that mathematical
anomaly. Bob Appleby in Greensburg or Greensburg,

Thank you very much Bob shared Armand Boyer in Vienna, Austria,

our group for today. I have one more reason.
I have one more mentioned here from Bob. After 15 months pay
pal canceled my $5 month subscription. That's a reminder
to everybody that the Pay Pal does this for an we have no idea
why just cancel subscriptions this one after 15 months. I
requested an explanation. No response yet. I am now
subscribed to the $4 a week model. It's another 300%
donation increase. Yay. Oh, yeah, I'm emailing you because
even though one my wife had a kidney transplant and the side
effects of her incredibly expensive meds only allow her to
work 20 hours per week, cutting our income by 25% and two, my
company screwed the slaves on health insurance along with $175
Pay Premium, I now have a $4,000 deductible. I am still donating,
if I can do it, every one of those douche knuckles in the 99%
can to keep calling them out. And since I was born in 58
Turning 53 I will be sending 111 11 When I get my tax return
that should cover some karma and a pre emptive deducing from my
16 year old son who was turning into a regular listener so let
me just do a double shot for them. You've been de Deus.
You've got karma.
You also have to give some make good karma to Edgar Rother.
Misha has a son, whose name is where is it in here. Winston
he's a big he's nine years old. He's a big fan of the show. And
he mainly because he listens to the kid listens to it in the car
when he's driving him is so and then Adams reaction that my son
was there for a douchebag per little nine year old and slapped
him with a douchebag jingle. I did. What can I say my son was
devastated No. To follow Adams advice and immediately coughed
up his allowance.
Oh no. Oh no. I feel horrible. Did I say that? I say his son
was a douchebag I can't remember doing that little nine
year old.
Oh well. Hey, what's his name? Winston Winston. Oh my friend
Winston. First of all, you can all the cool thing about the
show Winston. Is that you now legally you can get away with
calling people douchebag and your parents won't won't say
anything about it which is kind of cool. But let me give you a
massive D douching my friend. You've been deep and some extra
karma for you. Air you go standby you've got karma that
you take you through your 18th birthday. You go alright We
highly appreciate everyone who has supported the show no matter
what the giving level remember it's even if you're doing a the
two at Club will be coming up on the next show. At club coming up
up to seven nine Our club is closed for good the door is shut
on that one. You can always become a producer or executive
producer or Associate Executive Producer. Still we would really
like you to consider our 1111 a month program this is I think we
delivered the goods value for value would give you a lot of
insight news and information certainly more than the crap
that is on television that they're passing off as news and
the place to do that. is.org/n A if I haven't programmed that
into your brain enough. Here it is one more time.
devora.org/n a
couple of birthday shout outs. As requested. Phillip Paxton
says Happy Birthday to his wife Debbie. And I'm supposed to say
Happy Birthday Debbie baby from your Philly bear and no agenda.
Column. Sloman turns 50 on the 17th that will be today Happy
Birthday column. James Spitzer celebrates his birthday as does
Bobby Appleby on the 24th Happy birthday from no agenda, your
buddies and Adam and John.
Hello. That was good. Yeah,
it was tight. And I didn't sing along. It was very hard, but I
didn't I didn't sing along.
I know. I know how much you I know. You. You just you actually
want to be a singer?
Yeah, of course all DJs want to be singers didn't you know?
I think so. Yeah. So
second half of the show. We've had some huge solar flares in
the past week. I mean, like massive, and their disruptions
are expected. As the son of BBC News even reports unleashes huge
solar flare hurtling towards Earth. Strongest flare in years.
It's the ex Blair X flare hurtles towards Earth.
That's the referrer references and vague reference to Planet X.
Yeah,
of course. But this is the BBC doing it, which I think is kind
of cool so we can expect well 1972 A geomagnetic storm
provoked a slowly a solar flare knocked out long distance
telephone communications across the US state of Illinois, and an
89 I remember this one. Another storm plunged 6 million people
in the darkness across the Canadian province of Quebec. And
it actually cut off all satellite and pagers in 1989 As
I recall, that was the time of the pagers, right? The pager
days and everyone is of course still predicting comments at
Lenin. Is it a Lenin Do you think or a Leenane? e l e n i n.
This is the comment that will strike the earth on the 15th of
March the Ides of March this coming month. Yeah, this is when
we're going to even bother doing the show then. Well, we might
just on the off chance that we're not going to die. I
figured we just keep it up.
Okay, that's a good idea.
And, and this was if you have not seen this video. I really
this is hilarious. A video from I think it was AlJazeera you
have to miss an AlJazeera No, it was your own news, actually. And
now your own news is an interesting channel. It's
basically they have news but they have a lot of just unedited
footage running the whole time. And they had a report on the
Egyptian unrest better known as uprising in Egypt. And this is
video and you have to see this video in the show notes. No
agenda show.com You'll find it under out there. The heading
there is a the fourth horseman, the green show, the green
illuminated Horseman is actually galloping through the crowds in
Tahrir Square. It is the most Yeah, it's, I mean, there's no
audio to play. But when you see this thing, it's like literally,
you know, I'll post the link for the chat room, we'll get a kick
out of it. There's a green I mean, you know, it's like maybe
it's an edited maybe it's a an edited video, I don't know. But
you see this like, if you look at this video, you see around a
minute 20 in you see like a green, a lime green kind of
horsemen galloping through the crowds. And of course this the
fourth horseman is is always the prediction of the apocalypse.
Yeah. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse has has, has reared
his ugly head. The Pale Rider said to be the bringer of death
and the forerunner of hell on earth. Well, it certainly looks
that way. taking bets now in gizmo, nation, UK, give them a
nice yeah, yeah, they're taking bets on which country will will
out their leaders next you can bet on anything in in Britain,
which is so cool.
Well, they actually Vegas has a couple of shops that you bid on
all this stuff. But I think the Brits have it down.
Yeah. So yeah, you can you can bet on, on which which country
is going to fall next? I love that. Those guys are nuts. By
the way, Yemen is high a high odds on Yemen, which I don't
think is going to happen, but
I don't think so either. I think one of the other one of them
kind of in between the bed Rain seems to be having a lot of
rain. Yeah. And it's a real problem.
I would predict Bahrain if I was going to predict one.
Yeah, it's a real problem because the elites are all upset
now because it looks like the Formula One race in Bahrain
can't can't continue to happen and nevermind, right. That's
what I thought like, they're never gonna like it shut up.
We've got to race these cars around. Belgium, however,
Belgium, everyone's had their day of rage and their Day of
Anger a Day of Rage I think is pretty much the is the meme that
everyone's using. In Belgium. It's the french fries
revolution. Flu. The Belgians have tried it all. They had a
day of abstinence from sex. They had a non shaving day all to no
avail. The country's politicians have failed the form of
government after elections on June 13 2010, and total of 200.
And it's now 250 days of deadlock, which beats the
Netherlands with 208 and 77. And Iraq actually, which had 249
days that ended in December. So it is now officially a true
Gitmo nation. And on Sunday, 30,000 people gathered in
Brussels to express their indignation to make a statement
against the division of Belgium that's the Walloons against the
flan the Flemish dish and tomorrow that will be today
during the fries revolution. actually calling this the fries
revolution, the population will demand less nationalism, more
togetherness, street parties, music and french fries. More
togetherness gather hands across the Belgium's.
Hey, so I saw a movie. You know when you fly around. You've
watched movies on these airplanes now
on the implant entertainment system.
Yeah, so I had a bunch of operas where I tried to watch red or
reds whatever the heck I think it's called red. It's where this
the red was mentioned the Golden Globes, it was got Bruce Willis
playing some spy teams up with a bunch of old buddies and they
got to know shoot somebody, right? I couldn't get to 10
minutes of it. So I skipped it and I decided to fall back on
our old friend, George Clooney in one of his art films. So I
don't know this one's called the American.
Oh, I think I've seen that one
is Like a gunmaker assassin are some nice cells I don't like all
Americans well gun gun gun loving freaks
Yeah, I this movie may I mean I thought it was entertaining
because it's kind of fun to watch cluniac Because he you
know plays this kind of deadpan character or anything you know
he doesn't really do a lot of different characters he plays to
pretty much Clooney you know as I don't even consider him a
great actor but he does have fun you know what he does is fun to
watch and this movie made absolutely zero sense from the
beginning to the end there was no motivation for anything to be
going on we had no backstory I watched the whole I mean I did
watch the thing that now at some point it says this movie has
been
edited yeah to fit the format of the screen.
No, I think this I think there was I think there was there must
have been content editing because they took out something
that I needed to know all the hot sex now I'm reminded of this
you remember the ice the first time I ever saw Get Shorty?
Great movie was on an airplane. And they edited out the airplane
crash oh yeah, this happens all the time. Because you can't have
an airplane crash in a movie. Yeah, they
also on an airplane. They didn't show snakes on the plane in the
movie either in the out in the airplanes.
Right so so they took the airplane I guess people I don't
know what are people watching the movie? Oh my god, there's an
airplane crashing I'm in an airplane. Oh, what am I going to
do? I'm gonna die. But anyway, they airplane crash and Get
Shorty was seminal to the movie story was kind of important. So
I watched this movie on an airplane and and everyone's Tom
Oh, you got to watch Get Shorty I've made it because all you got
to watch Get Shorty funniest movie a great movie. What a
great movie plots and turns and twists. So I'm watching this
thing. I come back and say hi. This movie made no sense to me.
What do you why is this movie so great? Honestly, I just don't
get it the vorak so then about a year later, I watched it on HBO
or whatever and I saw this plane crash and I said my god I don't
now the movie makes sense. This they can't show the just don't
show these movies on airplanes.
Okay, wow, that's
correct. took you there. I'm just saying Good.
Info. Yeah, just so you know that they ended up playing
crashes on movies on airplanes. This is stunning information,
movies on planes if you're going to edit out anything
stunning John. I'm stunned by this info.
Anyway, the American Clooney he kills people in the movie and
all good Americans.
So and by the way, can I just say something these journalists
who keep getting hit and attacked in you're missing about
their logon? Yeah, not just her but now there was an ABC guy.
And and like they beat him up and took his camera away. Yeah,
that was the first
guy though. He was I think the ABC get has cameras stolen was
the first guy. Though this happened in Oakland. By the way.
We mentioned this on the show this this some guy? Yeah. But
this was not Oakland. Yeah. And it was in Iran. But same thing.
middlee pretty similar.
And I would like to call on my brothers and sisters. Because
the our brothers and sisters in in the Middle East, they
understand that these guys are part of the problem. They are
the compromised American media system. That's why they're
beating them up and rightly so Why else do you think that
Anderson Cooper came home before Hosni Mubarak left because he
knew he was gonna get beat up real, not just that fake, fake,
get punched in the head. Now, because our brothers and sisters
there, they know that these guys are the problem. So I call out
to my brothers and sisters in the Middle East. Throw your shoe
at these idiots. Please throw your shoe with them. Make a
stand.
Shoe thing isn't going anywhere. If you haven't noticed. I'm not
gonna
give up on it. They're just not showing the shoes. Don't don't
like rape them. Throw your shoe at them. They are part of the
problem. Absolutely. Anyway,
she was raped. She was sexually assaulted.
I don't know that means someone touched a boob. I really don't
know what it states. That's what it means. Yeah, that's exactly
what it means. So who knows? marginalization of the language.
I mean, you can you know sexual assault should be something that
has to do actually with the act of sex not grabbing somebody's
ticket. Well, that could be sexual. It could be but
generally speaking, you know, it's just hardly this. I don't
categorize it on the same league as a rape.
Correct. But, and I'm glad you picked that up because the words
do matter in this case. As and we don't know exactly what
happened. And we probably won't. But it's just being used to
incite more hate towards people. Here. It's being used to incite
xenophobia, which, as you know, is xenophobia, which is, you
know, was outlawed and illegal, because Hillary Clinton said,
so. Now, a piece of the video that has been emailed to, to me
several times is this business with Congressman Ron Paul,
winning the CPAC Conservative Party Action Conference, straw
poll, which means the people their vote at this conference,
and they say, Oh, well, this is the guy who wants to be
president last year or the last, not last year, but at last the
CPAC convention. It was Dr. Ron Paul, as well. And we have the
video from C span. And then we have the video from Fox News,
who you would expect would be all over you know, Ron Paul.
He's like, because he's a real
he's the last show I had the two back.
Exactly. Well, you had them omitting him from the results
completely. Yeah, but now we have. Well, actually, I'll play
them in this order. Here is what Fox aired. And very interesting.
winner of this year's CPAC Strabo. Now okay. Well, the
winner of this year's CPAC straw poll is Texas Congressman Ron
Paul.
In the end, he was the winner. Probably not the reaction he was
hoping for when you name a favorite to run for the White
House mixed applause and
booze is Ron Paul was announced over the weekend, the fiery
Texas Republican so they have all kinds of booze and who and
the guy actually went, well, the guy actually accentuates the Fox
News. shill actually accentuates by saying, Oh, boo boos, oh, no,
what you want from the guy who wins? And this is the actual C
span video undoctored video? It is I believe, I think that I
don't know what Fox aired because it is not the here's,
here's the announcement that took place on C span which
happened live okay. The winner of the straw poll.
That's a little different than what Fox the fox thing is not
even the same piece of video and I looked at the whole C span. Is
there still cheering? He hasn't even he hasn't even said Ron
Paul. Yeah. Okay.
So that just goes on for two minutes. And I'm not and I'm not
sure. I don't know what
why are they get such a hard on for Ron Paul at Fox,
because it's run by the Democrats. They don't want they
don't want a real guy to be the popular guy. This is this is how
it works in America. The elites determine if you're in the race
at all. They determined it. They determine if you're going to be
in the race. If you're not on television, you might as well
not be in the race. So that's why and you're right on the last
show. You played clips where they didn't even mention him. In
the, in the resist. They
mentioned that he won the straw poll and they said well, we did
a poll, and then their poll didn't have him in the top 10.
It's crazy. So Fox is
obviously bullcrap. But no one can. I know. Yeah, they're run
by the Democrats or this or that. But you know, Ron Paul,
you know, is what Ron Paul is, I mean, it's just seems to be
going out of their way. You know, as if they're under
orders, strict orders, because this is not something I would I
mean, it's not like you could you could get away with kind of,
you know, having a negative attitude, but you know, trying
to present it as you know, kind of fact and then kind of twist
it a little bit. This is over the top.
Well, they're doing all kinds of weird things on Fox right now.
Let me give you another example. Now when when Fox starts to
debunk stuff, that's when the big alarm bells go off in my
head. So they interviewed another this is another video
that you know, Fox is propagating this big time and
they actually I'm not going to play it but they go into a whole
deconstruction and they're talking to a A PR guy who has a
uniform on from San Diego. And the reporter says so I hear
there was a weapon of mass destruction found in San Diego
and the guy goes oh, oh yo. And then there's like some PR person
off to the side. He's not in here in the guys. Oh. But then
Fox is like, Hey, we're calling him on it. Something's really
wrong here. Listen to this.
Bosses alert on new developments this hour with a stunning by the
way. That's Megan, whenever Megan's on who cares? You can
lie all you want. And apparently accidental revelation that a
weapon of mass destruction has been found at a United States
port. Brand new hour of America live. Welcome, everyone. I'm
Megan Kelly, a correspondent in California reporting on security
at the Port of San Diego, asking the assistant director if
inspectors have ever discovered a nuclear chemical or chemical
or biological weapon, watch his response and watch the
intervention from the public relations rep. Division.
Not at this location that they have found them. Yes, well, I
know that your camera the public affairs officer interrupting
you never found one in San Diego. I would say at the Port
of San Diego we have not put the fun one in San Diego
Chander will just talk about the Port of San Diego
trace Gallagher live in our West Coast newsroom on this one trace
trace, debunk a trace I like letting the
cat in the bag and trying to herd this thing back in here.
Now San Diego is as anybody knows a major West Coast port
where
he goes on to like the plays it back listen to what she says
it's clear there's a weapon of mass destruction around the San
Diego. Now when Fox does that, you know that they're trying to
hype something and the only thing I can think of is that
this guy referred I met Al one al Janabi. Who was the Deep
Throat. Yeah, it's my friend, Rafi. Rafi Ahmed al one al
Janabi. He now has come out and said yeah, I lied about weapons
of mass destruction in Iraq. It was I lied about it. And so I'm
so confused. The Ministry of Truth has given me so many mixed
signals to apparently we went to war in Iraq, based upon one
guy's testimony, my friend referred and now everyone's
everyone know are some people are saying, hey, hey, that's
bull crap. How does that work? And I think that Fox has been
given the mission to like Trump some other weapons of mass
destruction thing up just to cover it up. You know, the the
FBI now also coming out and saying there's a 100% not 99 Not
90. Not a high probability. But according to the FBI is
Assistant Director in Charge of the FBI as weapons of mass
destruction Directorate. The chance that the US will be hit
with a weapon of mass destruction is 100%.
Well, we didn't we played a clip of that took place early last
year with Feinstein asking all these you know people one after
the other would there be at all I think is 100% 100% 100% I
agree with him. Yeah. They keep pushing Yeah, where's soccer
already? It's supposed to have happened last March or something
like
that thing already. Boys are sick and tired of this. It's
just crazy though. It's just nuts. And it just and of course,
there's some there's something missing from this picture.
Well, part of it No, I think it may just be a remnant of the see
something say something Lucy's emergency votes campaign to get
the Patriot Act extended. Now you recall that that was voted
down in the House of Representatives, and then all of
a sudden emergency vote emergency vote right after Lucy
comes out and says we're all going to die and these guys are
everyone Oh, weapons of mass murder. Oh, weapons of mass
destruction. And then the house completely flips around
completely. And they passed it. I don't I don't understand all
these guys. Like first they were like, No, we don't need to
extend these. These these these. The Patriot Act. We don't need
to extend that. No, we don't need that. And, and everyone
flipped around us. Oh, yeah, I guess so. It looks like it's
really bad. Lucy said so. And now I guess the Senate has to
pass it and then the Patriot Act and it's spying on the United
States citizens and total Gitmo nation loss of all freedoms
continues. That's the idea. In fact, Carney got a question
about it. The new boy on the block. Here's His answer
gotten the President wanted to the provisions of the Patriot
Act extended,
because, you know, it's our position that it would be
helpful to extend that two years. You know, we're working
with Congress.
Two years are talking. I thought it was a one year extension. And
they're talking about,
like a Democrat. Two years, when Bush put all these crazy things
in the play, you know, the Democrats are squawking like
crazy all the day. Oh, the Tom Hartman's out there. They're all
complaining bitterly, but a nasty old Patriot Act. And so
now they they're boys in office, and what do we get? Yeah,
two years to see what we can get done.
And by the way, would you please not say, Boy, because that's
against the the convention? That sounds xenophobic, edited it
out? Yeah. Be very careful of what you say Hillary Clinton is
going to arrest you.
But the answer is yes. Doesn't need to be dialed back in any
way. Any provision. I mean, with the app, you know, I think what
we said is what with the, you know, with the necessary
provisions in there and precautions, that safeguards but
but we believe it should be extended, believes that civil
liberties are adequately safeguarded. I think his
position on this has been pretty clear. It hasn't changed. We do
want it extended, and two years would be useful. We think so
that there's certainty in the community. Going forward.
Yeah. Certainly in the community, and the community for
going forward. Going forward. Now we need some
sort of immunity. Law enforcement lazy law
enforcement. That's right. Just easy enough to pick Hey, why did
the guys did this just tap all their phones and we'll find the
guy remember? Oh, hey, did you look into this guy? He's got a
stock tip. Really? What was it was this oh, let's write that
down. What else did you find out? Oh, this is so and so has
been having an affair with his secretary. Really? Yeah,
I'd say long. We need to go long on Monsanto John. We've already
so we we now have yet we've had the alfalfa hay.
Now, we have just approved genetically modified corn but
now it's only corn that's being used for biofuel
I'm hearing the silent I'm taking the silence as you are
stunned that this is so all of the food in America everything.
Every single piece of food is made of corn here were a bunch
of corn Huskers love the corn. We're corn. Yeah, we we had the
Children of the Corn. Everything we eat is made of corn. It's
made of corn syrup. High fructose corn syrup. It's a fake
corn blueberries and you cereal corn, corn corn. The cows eat
corn genetically not meant to eat corn. They're eating corn.
They're pooping corn. Is corn everywhere corn. Yeah, it was
and
it's it's not good for you. Or and then the Mexicans? Yeah, we
were just a
nation of corn. And by the way, we're starving all the all it's
you know that what's important to Hey, food prices are rising
out of control the the World Bank says up as the food price
crazy, we're all gonna starve. What are we gonna do, we're
gonna grow some corn, squash some corn and put it in our car.
But of course, this is this is a trick to get Monsanto seeds into
the system because you can be grown corn in one field that is
only going to be used for fuel, right? Like it's a sticker on it
fuel only haul don't put that into the cow stuff. Of course,
the seeds will waft over and everyone gets contaminated. And
this is the entire system. It's all patent. The patent on life
is owned by Monsanto. And it has now been approved by the total
shield Tom Vilsack, who was brought in by the Obama
administration, who was a former Monsanto executive. And and now
we're going to have genetically modified corn, which means we
have genetically modified organisms in everything in
America, everything. And it's disgusting and it's sad at the
same time.
It surprises me this would happen
to really, Monsanto also has filed patents for frost
resistant trees. You called it you called the frost resistant
mean, that's happening now. The so called Franken forests.
It's gonna be something Yeah.
It's gonna be something. Well, you know, we really need that.
It's very, very important. But it's Yeah, so we've had three
deregulations in a month by the United States Department of
Agriculture. If you see Tom Vilsack throw your shoe at him,
guys, totally The World Order elitist shill it's just not only
for fuel don't worry it's only for fuel you want to have any in
your food. Horrible. Do you remember member samknows members
talking about that? Oh, Sam knows is this project that
started in Gitmo nation east the United Kingdom where the
government was rolling out a test where they send you a new
router for your internet connection to test the broadband
speed to make sure that you know that your your ISP is delivering
what they say they are. All the FCC has just rolled this out now
to the Gitmo nation united states of america go to test my
isp.com And there they are Sam knows happy to give you a
broadband router. A free high speed wireless router will of
course the secret samknows sauce inside which they literally call
the secret sauce that will you know reports back on your only
on your broadband speed nothing else. So I suggest everyone go
ahead and get one.
Go so yeah. interest interesting.
Do you remember now?
Yeah, vague. This I'm gonna do with a essentially a spy device?
Of course. Essentially. What is the FCC samknows broadband
community? Well originally launched as the performance
monitoring network, the FCC samknows broadband community is
a unique system that aims to gather and report statistical
data on the performance of broadband providers across the
globe. Being able to compare broadband on price headline
speeds. Anecdotal discussion and speed tested results just isn't
enough. The community with your help aims to put the information
back in the public's hands. Very nice. So yeah, it's the Sam
knows.com. Sam knows a secret sauce. They literally call it
the secret sauce that's inside their routers, and we
deconstructed the whole thing with the guy who?
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, well, and this is how it works is the beta test in
England and then they roll it out over here. And it's coming
to be lapping up. Tasty, free router. Hey, we should gonna
give everyone anyone something for free. Lots of people go. Oh,
yeah. I'll take a free router. Oh, it's shiny.
Just getting one and then having somebody tear that thing down
and find out what the hell is really going on with these
things?
Yeah, it's a skill set. You know, it'd be good. Maybe some
of our SIS admins can do I don't know if you can take it apart.
It's gonna be kind of hard. I think it's all the secret sauce.
It's a Sam knows. So homonyms, Sam. No, like Uncle Sam knows.
Just don't you understand that? They're laughing at you in your
face. Sam knows who Sam Uncle Sam. Sam knows. Uncle Sam knows.
Because we gave you a free broadband router. Enjoy your
free router.
That's one way of getting around the USA. Well, you volunteered.
Yeah.
You're a part of the community. Yeah.
I mean, you volunteered.
Part of the community. Join the community. Toward show season
and no different in show business for Ugly people. As the
2010 Presidential Medal of Freedom ceremony was held at the
White House.
Yeah, well, the Stan Musial finally got his medal.
As did George H. Walker Bush.
I found that to be highly amusing.
Yeah, he could barely walk actually, you see that a guy
can't walk anymore.
Now taking the walker. He's got a walker, George Walker Bush.
And everyone's applauding Joe. Sorry about that. Everyone's
applauding him. He's the leader of the newer Well, if he was I
don't think he isn't. He gave he gave it up. He was the lead
time. Yeah, he was the leader of the new world or now he's just
kind of retired. He's a grandpa and he cries on television and
stuff.
Everybody What is this thing males crying constantly.
I like Barbara Bush though. You know, as my uncle said many
times is the funniest woman in Washington is Barbara Bush. And
I guess was I think maybe it was Jenna was interviewing grandpa
or something like that. And then he started crying and she was
crying. And Barbara Bush's signature said hey, with that
attitude, you can be Speaker of the House. She's funny man. I do
like that. Then we have see a lot of news in the High Speed
Rail department. All the board trains good planes bad. So a
little monkey wrench there is Florida rejects the Tampa to
Orlando high speed rail line.
And there was a nickel in the Florida paper. And it was
written by a journalist supposedly, and it went and it
just berated the guy. Because there's a gold is free money we
can get from the government, he doesn't want it, you know, not
realizing that the overhead, the maintenance of these of these
high speed rails is going to break any state that puts it in.
I mean, there's no way that it makes any sense. And then, of
course, the Washington Post had an unbelievably good op ed
slamming high speed rail with all kinds of statistics, and
then mind, you know, just the budgeting and they had all these
real solid facts. And it just went on and on. It was just
like, if you read this piece, would you think high speed rail
is the biggest scam in history?
Well, I think that Hill and Knowlton, who are the publicity
firm for the high speed, high speed rail Association, they
probably got a phone call this past week. And they're gonna
have to step it
up. Oh, yeah. No, there's gonna be some good stuff coming up in
the weeks ahead. Yeah. So just write Be on the lookout. That's
right. Because you're absolutely right. That's exactly what
happened. And the way it works with the public relations
companies, if you've ever worked with any of them, or worked with
people who have is they start these projects, and they get
all.
First, they get all the big shots right at the beginning of
the project. We're going to be Greg, we're going to be that
we'll have our weekly meetings, we'll have teleconferences and
then after, like, I'm sure it took a little longer in this
case, but after like a month or two, they put the interns on it.
Yeah.
And they do it all the time. There's a junior associate.
She's good. She's good, though. She doesn't know anything. No,
no, no, she's really good. She's from
Stanford. She's from Stanford. For interns from Stanford, now
she's good.
So they're gonna either get fired, or they're gonna have to
up the ante and put their good people back on it. There's not
that many people that can do this kind of work well,
well, they're definitely gonna have to do something because
you're right. I mean, the gist is some media out there. That's
just saying, hey, wait a minute, you know this. And we've got
some time limit, not just lawmakers, but the people who
are running their towns and cities and states who are smart.
I mean, China is just going all out, by the way. They want to
create a rail system. This is so funny, because we talked about
this.
China's crazy, they've already built about five cities that
they don't even inhabit, well did finish basically spending
money on anything? Well, it's our money.
So they've got to China goes on the I think we actually
discussed this very thing that they're talking about the Panama
Canal. But here it is, China is proposing to build a rail link
to rival the almost century old Panama Canal, the 220 Kilometer
rail connection would connect Cartagena,
on the Panama Canal? Well, I
helped me through this because I think they're throwing the
Panama Canal in there as a joke. And it's irrelevant. Here it is,
the 220 kilometers of rail would connect Cartagena, on the
northern Atlantic coast of Colombia, with its pacific
coast, making it easier for China to export its goods
through the Americas and import raw materials such as coal.
China's got plenty of coal.
So I'm not sure where this is coming from this look into it,
you know, but But one thing's for sure, did not build on it
for people to ride on. Which is exactly why this is being pushed
here in the United States. And we should we should revisit this
on the next program. We should talk about it again, because
people are losing. If anything, we're losing sight of what the
High Speed Rail scam is about. And it's about moving goods, not
about moving people, but as being above
middle track beds and then handing them over for at no cost
to Burlington Northern and CSX and southern write the name
three rails that would love it.
I put a couple of updates about Don't Ask Don't Tell, new memo
came out. I just wanna remind everybody that this is not
repealed. If you are gay, please do not go whooping it up in the
armed services, because you will get expelled memorandum for
secretaries of the military departments. This came out on
the 10th of February. The attach repeal implementation plan
provided to the Secretary of Defense on February 4 2011
provides the framework for the three areas of repeal
implementation policy education and training and communication.
That's for the way I counted. And the upcoming days we will
work together to solidify the format of progress updates, as
well as the frequency of leadership meetings. Your first
progress update will be due to me by March 1 2011. So to remind
everybody, the President did not repeal Don't Ask Don't Tell. He
signed a bill that said we will repeal Don't Ask Don't Tell if
the following things take place, which means a company Fleet
certification by all of the armed services. And if you look
at this memorandum is never going to happen. It's just what
we predict the course it's just never going to happen. And where
are my gay brothers and sisters? Who are saying this is this is
Max gap, it's a scam. Where are they were so vocal about
everything.
There's the beat media, whereas the left wing that thinks is the
greatest thing in the world,
because they're not actually reading anything. And as a bi
curious male, I'm very upset about this. Okay, to wrap it up
a couple quick things. Many, many crazy stuff happening in
the vaccine world flu vaccine is now able to be made faster.
We've got some new techniques, your medical, they're gonna get
some more money. Gardasil, my favorite HPV vaccination, turns
out stillbirth events, much higher with those who have been
vaccinated with the HPV vaccine. Keep the population down and
working. This is exactly what it's for. And up there in Gitmo
nation great wide north. It looks like the health system.
This is not necessarily a vaccine, but it looks like the
health system is going to be paying for Chantix. If you want
to kick the nicotine habit looks like your government is going to
give you the drugs the Chantix, which is really good. That's
another population reduction scheme. Because when you're on
it, you want to kill people. Yeah. Good stuff. And then it's
winded up with some magic numbers. Some really good ones.
Not necessarily message. But the middle class. What do you think
the average middle class earning is or the underclass now John
and Gitmo nation united states? What is their annual take home?
$3,000 $3,000 Whoa, hold on a second right arm it's a money.
Very good jump. Okay, Medicaid rate cuts in Texas 33%. And
yeah, and since but here's the real message. Of course, we had
all of a sudden, we need to keep the price of crude oil up very,
very high and screw everybody down line at the pumps, and then
make all kinds of money in the middle. And we've got the
Glencore going public, so everyone needs to make some
dough. So we we ranked up ratcheted up the pirate meme,
which is a great one love them pirates go pirates. But the
funniest one, which is a total message. This is this is
definitely a message if you believe in the 33 coded message.
Somali pirate gets 33 years in prison.
And he's he's not going anywhere.
Not 30 years, not more than 30 years, not almost 40 No 33
years. Dumb schmuck. And that is basically a message all as well
on the pirate front. We've got him going. He What are you
doing? Are you undressing? Or what's going on? That
was just over the machine doing looking at them. I had the
machine away from this mic because of the internet
connection. I have to go back and forth. And that's why I've
been pulling the mic out. Oh, okay. To get the Wi Fi
connection, which is what I'm on actually, I can't have the end
and then they get the one plug. So I have to have the one plug
over here. Don't ask if you took over took a picture of this.
You'd think I was a maniac.
