This show is terrible and you should be ashamed of themselves.
Adam curry, John C. Dvorak. It's
Thursday, April 21 2011 times you get my nation media
assassination Episode Two Niner seven. This is no agenda,
suffering from the Skynet attacks in the hilltop watch
Star Trek pod command center and get my nation West in the
People's Republic of Southern California. Hey, in the morning,
I'm Adam curry
and from Northern Silicon Valley, we're trying to get the
show underway. I'm John C. Dvorak. Hill.
Yeah, I'm sick.
You're sick or what?
I know. I'm sick. I'm, I'm ill. Why? Well, why? Because I didn't
take my vaccine shots. Apparently.
You had the flu? Yeah. But you know, it's the flu. Yeah, yeah.
Did you take to get some some of those? You don't even take the
antivirals. I mean, I just do it. I do. I
mean, it's not like I'm not dying yet. But it's
a bunch of
Benny's here pop and Benny's over there.
And the flu or Relenza?
No, but it's I don't know if it's swine flu yet.
What difference does it make the it's all the same. Wine flew.
So I got I got the I got the headache. I got the fever. I got
the you know the chills. Coochie Man. Yeah, I got the sore
throat. I got the drippy nose and Mickey has
like a cold if you got a sore throat. Now it's could be you
could have mononucleosis, PA.
According to the Terminator, two movie. Skynet went into effect
on April 19 2011. And people started dying from it on April
21. I think not. I'm just saying hey, in the morning to all the
human resources there in the chat room, but no agenda
stream.com no agenda chat dotnet. And all boots on the
ground and ships at sea.
And feet in the air. Yeah.
I confused you. I can tell. Well, John
AP, can I say something upfront? And so and get this just because
people you know, last a couple of shows we've gotten weird
openings. And I don't know if people are want to put up with
it. But let me just say something. I want to be early on
this one, because you're gonna hear the pundits saying it's
probably within the next few months. I think Obama spy
starting this campaign so early, and essentially quitting his job
to do just to write again. Yeah, it's
a big mistake.
I think it's a big mistake. And I think he's going to talk
himself out. Well, yeah, that wasn't that the whole point.
We're going to talk and he's going to be so and he's going to
be it's going to be overanalyze everything. He said, I mean,
what are we got here for today's show? I mean, he was over at
Facebook yakking away.
I totally ignored all of that if you don't mind, but I have the
clip. Okay. Then what have the Facebook videos
there? I would they showed it on the chat. The whole Facebook
event on C span.
Oh, okay. I was I was just ill. I was focusing on a
big sign in the back Facebook. And if you notice, this is the
thing that got me the most. Besides the fact this is a big
promotion for Facebook. No kidding. Story after story after
story said this is the first presidential visit of Facebook.
Well, this is this is the first time a president has ever
visited Facebook. Yeah,
there was no Facebook in the previous presidency.
Yeah, there's the first time that some PR people have decided
to create a meme that the President should visit Facebook
for publicity purposes. This is pretty pretty cool scheme. But
why is the media buying into it not questioning the first visit?
Well, John, do I really have to answer that by now?
rhetorically, Toriko question. Yeah, the media is a bunch of
jerk offs, and they why would they notice?
So hit me with some clips here from this wonderful thing for
those of you who missed this first time ever worldwide event,
and just need to keep up with everybody. And at least you can
have a sound bite in the back of your head to say hey,
yeah, I saw it. I saw it. What do you got? What do you got?
John?
What do you got? Let me go you have your clips number today.
I will here's do let me just get
this is new. This well.
I've decided a couple of things. One is that I had a lot of clips
and I've decided that the problem is we I've noticed the
show goes like this. Yeah, well I got this clip of Jenna kowski
doing it and they say and they hit it you know and you're like
looking through the clips. What is it this one is it that
happens sometimes usually, I mean, you're discounting how
nicely it flows.
percent the time it flows but that 10% is worse numbering
Yeah. Okay, well, it's worth number one. I have this many
clips. Yeah, you kind of over compensated. So now that well,
I'm gonna number them probably from now on, I think is a way to
do it. And I've also noticed Limbaugh and PLAY CLIP 22
Oh, that's it. All right. So this is what you gonna start
barking numbers at me now. All right. All right what number do
I do a queue up for you Jan 20? Okay, let
me let me play the one clip that I think is amusing for a number
of reasons, which is the Obama at the clip 10 which is Obama
really hate that I really don't want you to do that. Do not say
clip 10 No, it's annoying already. I hate it. Okay, well
then, say Obama just just talk, you know, I can figure it out.
I'm not an idiot. Okay, I'm not
on board, monkey. Now, Obama and the clutch car.
And if you start seeing investors feel uncertain about
the future, then they could pull back right at the time when the
economy is taking off. So you're right, that it's tricky. Any
folks around here are used to the hills in San Francisco. And
if you've driven out enough they still have clutch cars around
here. Anybody ever driven a clutch car? Yeah. I mean, you
got to sort of tap and well, that's sort of what we've faced
in terms of the economy. Right? We've got to hit the
accelerator. But you know, we've got to also make sure that we
don't got it. We can't let the car slip backwards out.
Did he made this one up himself? Because he sucks at explaining
this fantastic analogy.
Hey, have you ever heard anyone use the word clutch car?
No stick shift. Yeah, yeah, exactly. It's or a standard as
we used to call it
standard would be a good way but a stick but clutch car and he
then he asked is do they still exist? What is this guy? How
isolated from the world is he? Yeah, so when he asked he said
Do they still have these things?
You could hear the room go kart? What is it like a golf cart?
What is that? Maybe that's what it is for him? Well, you
know where they use the word clutch car? No. Africa.
Oh, you're kidding me?
No, I'm just did I am kidding you. It's a joke.
I thought I thought it wouldn't be true. It's like that makes
total sense.
Africa, you know, because of the birth certificate thing is a
gag. Yeah, you're in a great mood. I'm sick. You're irked
about the numbers. You're sick. All right. Anyway,
maybe I misunderstood the joke.
Now that joke was given CZ was born in Africa. So he would use
an African term to refer to these cars right? But
then you said it's not true.
It's not I don't know if it's true or not. That's the joke. It
was a joke. It was totally
Well, I'm totally believing it I'm like clutch car. That sounds
like something that say it
sounds like something than say an African clutch car. I I'm
like
bleeding it I'm like, that's gotta you drive it.
I know they don't talk like that in Africa.
Do an African boy.
Oh, boy. We're off to a rocky start people. You gotta carry it
for me. Here
you go. Anyways, guys down here. This meeting totally sucks. And
of course, Zuckerberg is doing the meeting.
Yeah, he did he do like the q&a or what was really
he's doing the q&a and he's now referring to as Mark by the
President. So So now he's got a first name basis with Obama.
It's the
first time a US president has called a Facebook CEO by his
first name.
He also has a shit eating grin on his face the whole time.
Who's Zuckerberg? Yeah, of course.
He's really loving this man. I mean, let's be honest. It's
pretty cool for him. I get it. You know, he's he just came out
with a statement you know, maybe there's too much freedom of
speech on Facebook, which he kind of rein that in a little
bit. You know, Brock comes over Hey Brock. Hey Mark. Hey, how
you doing everybody? There Mark maybe you should like start to
writing that in a little bit that free speech there and the
Facebook's you read that? I saw you tweeted actually. Yep.
So So Obama makes like I said he's gonna talk himself out. And
he made two two weird comments about about health care because
he was bragging about that being so great even though it's gotten
completely off the track and play the one of this clip Obama
on medicine idiotic comment
or chunk of our providers system. Is is not automated. So
what ends up happening is you may go to your primary care
physician. He worked, he does some basic tests, he sees
something of concern, he has to say something, he refers you to
a specialist. You go to the specialist, he'll do another
test. You're getting charged or your insurance company is
getting charged for both those tests, as opposed to the test
that was taken by your primary care physician being emailed to
the specialist, why, or better yet, if it turns out that there
may be three or four specialists involved? Because it's a
difficult diagnosis. There's all hypothetical, you look very
healthy. But let's say there were a bunch of specialists.
What would be ideal would be if you get all the specialists,
together with the primary care physician, the first time you're
seen so that you're not paying for multiple visits, as well as
multiple tests?
Was there a smoke coming out of his ears when he was trying to
explain this? Because you
hear this last thing? He just said, Yeah. So you're gonna go,
Wait a minute, you're gonna, you're gonna have four guys in
the room, somehow, if you can get an appointment, I can't see
my dermatologist. It's a three month waiting time, let alone at
some specialist for whatever he's talking about. So you're
going to get four people in the room, but you're only going to
pay for one visit? Is that what he's saying? Now, one, assuming
you could get the four people to be at the same meeting. And he
says it's your first meeting, by the way. So you're gonna
It's the it's the team kickoff. It's to say you have
a meeting, you have to predict what you have to have the
specialists and afford. And of course, you don't get a
specialist until the doctor recommends one. So this is an
impossible situation to begin with. Has this guy ever been to
the doctor? No, the doctor comes to him. No, you ain't that last
part again? And tell me if it makes any bit of sense
whatsoever?
I'd already dumped it. Hold on. Really? Really?
Yeah, you're taking me for granted.
I'm not taking you for granted. Play the last
all diagnosis, there's all hypothetical, you look very
healthy. But let's say there were a bunch of specialists.
What would be ideal would be if you get all the specialists,
together with a primary care physician, the first time you're
seeing so that you're not paying for multiple visits, as well as
multiple tests.
So you got to take your clutch Car,
car or to the doctor's, whether your dummy one or not everybody
in the neighborhood, your team is ready for you. We're all
waiting here.
Raka crap. I mean, what does he kid? Okay, so he goes this, this
never ends these crazy ideas, does this guy even has this guy
ever been in the real world? Play the second clip. So what
we want to do is to start changing how folks are
reimbursed. Let's take a hospital, right, we want to give
this sort of like Race to the Top what Mark was talking about
in education, we want to be able to say to a hospital, if you do
a really good job reducing infection rates and hospital,
which kill 10s of 1000s of people across America every
year, and are a huge cause for readmission rates. And we know
that hospitals can drastically reduce those reinfection rates
just by simple protocols of you know, how employees are washing
their hands, how they're moving from room to room, and so forth.
There are hospitals who have done it. If we can say to a
hospital, you will get a bonus for that. Medicare will
reimburse you for instituting these simple procedures. That
saves the whole system money.
That's great. And you're gonna
pay people to wash their hands. Yeah, that's great. And,
of course, what's gonna now you knowing the way the world works,
you they're gonna say, you know, if you institute these
procedures, we're gonna give you extra money. What do you think's
gonna happen? They're gonna fill out some forms. Uh, yeah, we
wash my hands and wash my hair. Mommy.
Mommy, look, look look them they look clean. Smells sniff my
finger, Mommy. And meanwhile, while no one was looking, the
true killer in our society was reported on John. Can you guess
what kills more people than guns in America? Smoking
the descriptions are alarming. Prescription Drug Abuse is an
epidemic in this country. And they're warranted said the
nation's drugs are today.
The number of people who have overdosed on prescription drugs
now exceeds the number of people who have died as a result of
gunshot wounds. Yay. Let's
get rid of prescription drugs then.
What is the point of this? Well, it's
I believe it's well it's all about oxy cotton. So it's, it's
I think the idea here is we've got too much of the legal stuff
out there get back on the age kids get back on the heroin
because we got a whole ship coming in from Afghanistan as
the only thing I can think of.
There's a couple I had a couple of. I had a clip that is, I
would like somebody to deconstruct, for me, I can't
figure out why this clip is floating around the illegal
workers advert. I'm watching this. I'm watching this a Santa
Barbara station playing this. And so there's probably some
illegal illegals in the area, I'm sure. But this
advertisement, is from some operation I've never heard of,
and I haven't really gotten started to look into it. I just
picked this up last night. And but it's like the weirdest ad
I've ever seen. It's an ad against illegal immigration.
Now that so many Californians are out of work. Attention is
turning to the millions of illegal workers in the state.
It's about time. But what about these workers, illegal foreign
workers, 1 million legal immigrants and temporary workers
our government admits every year to take good jobs in places like
California, no matter how many Californians are out of work, or
how ill the economy gets. We need to slow legal immigration.
California is working again. Paid for by Californians for
population stabilization. Ooh, I
like that. Why don't we just come out and say kill them?
Population stabilization? Wow, that's poor. That's harsh.
I've only seen this thing once.
The population stabilization Bureau ma'am, excuse me. Do you
have any Mexicans in here? Any Puerto Ricans any kind of cans,
ma'am. Let me just see. I'm sorry, what I'm taking this one.
This one is legal. We've got to shoot this one. This one's not
designed to smile. We got to throw that
out there legal or illegal? That's what I said. It's a legal
one, our legal your illegal. You're both coming out.
We got a legal one. You go into left cell as pretty
unbelievable. Trying to explain something to me, John. Is the
United States of America Corporation.
Not that I know of. But I Wait, man. This is a trick question.
Go ahead.
No, not really. Why are we treated like a corporation? Why
do we get rated by standards and pours? Who are a rating agency
with a with a rating like you know, like Microsoft,
they rate anyone who has debt, debt instruments, they're not
rating the country. They're rating the instruments. And we
have
these these. These were the guys that said, oh, you know, AIG,
AAA. And,
ya know, I know they were wrong. And everybody knows that. That's
one of the arguments against you know, whatever they do, but
they're there. So there's something politically involved
with what you're going to talk about, which is the fact that
they threatened to drop our triple A rating, right?
Investment,
they've already turned us to Outlook negative, like they've
got an eight ball their outlook not so good. So that's not an
actual downgrade. But it's like a thing. Why don't you know, I'm
thinking, why don't we just do it? Why don't we just take the
whole country public? Give everybody some stock? You want
to see people turn around and do some stuff? Why don't we just
actually just everyone gets a share. And then we take the
whole thing public. And then we IPO like crazy. We're all rich.
That would be an IPO. It would be like it would have to be
white, like the value of the country, which I think which has
been calculated. I'm sure you can count. Well, it's like 15
trillion, or $20 trillion, is what we're worth. Well, you
have to look, you have to look at more you have to look at, you
know, for ROI. Yeah, exactly. I mean, so we know that each human
resource from cradle to grave is valued at $9.1 million. So the
government's already done that for us. We got 330 of US.
million, three 30 million. Yeah. So there you go. We're like 33
trillion. Yeah, we're like 30 $40 trillion.
That's reasonable. Maybe is that more maybe? Yeah, no, it's I
think it'd be trillion. But then
we'd own it. We'd own ourselves. And then yeah, we
can boss ourselves around. That'd be like, hey, hey, get
back to work. Yeah,
that would wait, are you legal? I have to reduce you.
You're gonna do that. And you could you could swap. I could
buy your shares. I could buy you out. That's right. You could buy
me then what would you be? You'd be a person without a country.
Now you I'd be a slave. But at least I know, I'd be one. Yeah,
yeah, you'd be a slave. It's just something to think
about. Well, for $9 million of you. That's what you're worth.
If somebody gave me $9 million to boss me around. I'd probably
take
it. Yeah, but you're not worth 9 million anymore. You're down to
like the single
Mayan annuity and
we had this whole conversation where the they came out me and
said the valuation of the human life in the United States is now
$9.1 million. That's what you're worth when you're born. And in
fact, I think we actually are collateral in that way for our T
bills. It wouldn't surprise me
Yeah, well then if the country goes they just start shopping.
Okay, you guys, you're getting in this boat. You're heading to
China. China owns you now.
Yeah. You better learn some Chinese. Because you going
Oh, before we go on with this dummy, I think we should thank
our executive producers in yes head.
Now we're almost at the 300 club now.
I know it's gonna be a next Sunday right now this Sunday,
but the Sunday after
this. Yes, correct. So we have a show on Sunday that would be
which is Easter Sunday if I'm not mistaken. No, no, no, nobody
listening Easter Sunday. Is this coming Sunday? So I mean, this
Sunday would nobody will be listening. That won't be no,
this Sunday will not be episode three. No, I
never said that. He said this Sunday is Easter Sunday. Whoa,
no.
Listen to no one will donate is what you're saying? Yes. Yeah.
Okay. I gotcha.
We should probably just do it. I would like executive producer
credit on show 297 which is this one. This is Charlie Hendrix son
in reels Ville, Indiana, just up the street from nob bone. Like
to executive credit and 297 like that number as well as the 300
club I could I get it which is the case you get an executive
producers credit but I don't do we? Yeah, he gets the credit.
Yep. I like it. You need some karma first daughter who just
turned a year old his wife who just had an emergency knee
surgery and his new business ventures. Oh my goodness, lowly
pops. I'm
actually right now my friend Charlie
got karma. He needed some karma man. Well, I also can't believe
that you got I can't believe that you guys have missed one
obvious number 33. Losers 33. That was a while back this year
was the centennial anniversary of the Indianapolis 500 on 529
to 11 the traditional 11 rows of 33 a three cars 33 cars will
take the green flag of the start of the most historic race ever.
If you guys are doing your road trip. I'll get you in to our
company sweet. Yay. At the track for practice qualifying or the
race. Oh, really? So he's got to uh huh. You know, I wouldn't
mind I'd fly back there for that. Let
me tell you all of a sudden sir. Greg Birch popped up and he says
you know if you have no luck getting an RV, which so far I've
had let me think pretty much zero luck. Except for our marine
friend but he you know, he's right. By the way. I can't We
can't drive this 3636 footer. This crazy. It's like a like a
Boeing. It's not that hard to do. No, no, no, no. He said,
there's so much you got to think of you know, that's not for the
first timers. And I think he's right. So so Greg has a what he
calls the no agenda Urban Assault RV. It's a GMC Berkman.
Have you ever. Sorry, birch Haven. Have you ever seen these?
No. Built in the mid to late 70s. It's just imagine it's
perfect. Now it needs some work. So
what's the hold on a second? needs some work? What's it
called
GMC birch Haven. It's like classic. It has a little shower
regularly bought it because it's got his name in it.
Well, no, his grandfather actually made them he built it.
Yeah, he built this one. And he built the birch patent on screen
door. You see it's pretty big. It's 25 foot it's a serious it's
serious. But it's like that's like doable. And it's It's fun
though, isn't it?
Yes, very easy. It's very old fashioned. streamliner tight.
Exactly.
Now, there's a couple of things wrong with it. So I kind of kind
of like like the drive train and the brakes and stuff. So again,
we got to think through this a little bit but I have to say
this type of vehicle I think is definitely what we what we
should go for. It's kind of like the the love peace and happiness
bus.
It's still pretty big.
Oh no, it's very big. And but it's perfect. Although the
births are six feet in length. That's a problem.
Yeah, well there's any one of these RVs is a problem for two
you know people that are care
six, five or four years 616
Almost six two. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, well, I know but I like to
sleep with my feet hanging off the end of the bed. Really?
Really? Yeah. The big hairy feet hanging off the end of the bed
big ol airy
scare people.
Sorry visual visual bad visual. Anyway, working on that still
looking for something that actually runs
I just I'm sorry. I just cracked up i You meant to send you this
link.
But he's so sweet. He's like, you know, I always have this.
I'm like, I'm worried because his grandfather lived like built
this one. I know. That's gonna freak me out. I want to
go to it. I just sent you a link to a photo that you have to put
in the show notes. This is the what you're going to end up with
Hmm Well, I was gonna fire up. I just did. I was just looking at
pictures of the birch havens and I
saw this thing it's a beautiful machine man. What are you
talking about?
You know the bird shape. This isn't one this is something else
that was in the in the images. Gallery. I'm
sorry if Firefox needs to talk to Windows for that's cool.
Drive they think it's a photoshop job was real.
I think it's real. We should send it to our artists. It could
be a nice cover art. Perfect. Perfect.
Okay. Anyway, so it's in the making and but it's really gonna
happen and the great thing was Miss Mickey went. Oh, I'll
totally right in that. That's okay.
No, that's a good look. And it's a good looking. It's a classic
collapsing. Those things are still on the road.
Oh, yeah. No, there's a hole. That would be another
stipulations love of them. Yes, I would have to drive by some
GMC club day, every day. Like, I just want to make sure it runs
but it sounds kind of like you know, there was quite a list of
stuff that's not quite right. Yeah. But it's beautiful that
people are offering that and, and I don't want to sound like
ungracious gracious but I'm still open for other
opportunities.
Yes, as it were, but I mean, this is this going to the
Indianapolis 500 race. That's perfect. We'd be dynamite so
Oh, you also want to go to no agenda tour.com and stick a pin
on the map. We hadn't looked at it in a while and we we brought
it up yesterday. Holy moly. That thing like it's like the map of
the United States and there's red pins everywhere. What does
that got to do with Wyoming? What is it? That's where our
listeners recommend to come and visit? Yeah.
Oh, you had a lot of free food. Okay, Daniel Foster and
maynardville Tennessee first time donation which is nice. He
needs a D douching. Because of that, okay.
You've been D deuced
is completely addicted to the show did happen and he's
actually in Knoxville, Tennessee, which by the way is a
beautiful little town. They got some of the best barbecue
Carolina style barbecue, pulled pork sandwiches in the world.
Dave a renderer. And also the University of Tennessee if I'm
not mistaken evergreen Colorado Dave read earlier in the morning
to you I just working my way towards knighthood. One more to
go.
Yay. And we throw in the extra penny.
Before 2300. That concludes we had a short week, spring break.
That concludes our executive producer list for show 297.
So I reminder that you have two more shows to get in on the 300
club where you become so if you are a member the 300 Club and in
one of the remaining two episodes, you not only get the
executive producer credit for that episode, but also on the
300 Club, which will be quite a list. Actually, how many we have
like 20 Maybe.
I don't know Eric would know if he's if he's listening,
but it's an exclusive club, that's for sure. And well no one
came in for the two Niner seven club which is kind of
interesting. But of course, you can always become a member of
the 290 rei club, but I expect everyone who might as well just
go for the 300 because you get your double credit there. We
highly appreciate it a couple of PR mentions that I'd like to
skim through some good domain name forwards which are being
forwarded to no agenda show.com I think right off the bat one of
my favorites, haiku. herrman.com which is a good one. Ooh, that
is a good one. Haiku Herrmann.
Of course we should. Yeah, so that's when you want to take and
you maybe want to put some poetry up and then my cruise
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, they're open haiku competition. Yeah, why
not?
Why, you know, how
was the last time anyone did it haiku competition on broadcasts
like this. Well,
you know what, John, let that be the first time at Facebook. And
not here on the show? Id I don't like haikus, they don't run. Da
winning. I've got a link to the no agenda, art prints. Which
there's really cool. I don't know if you saw this. These are
real art prints that you can buy different sizes, prices range
for $22 $33 or $44 50% of the proceeds go to the show. And the
first print that I saw is beautiful. It's elusive for
Clinton with her techno experts. It's it's beautiful. So loose
for Clinton. She's got her little slave limits there. And
those are technical experts. So make sure you check that link
out in in the show notes.
I was Jen, Jen, the art print where it was no, yeah, no, it's
not
on a domain name. It has to get a domain indiegogo.com So that's
the one. That's the one like that one was Clinton. Beauty.
It's cool. That's like real art. And it's beautiful.
Oh, these signed and numbered. What do we have here? Yeah,
I think so. By the way, according to Eric the shield
that are currently 33 Men Members of the 300 Club. Oh,
sure they are Eric Not 32. Not 34. Not more than 30. No, it's
33. Huh. Coincidence? I think not to mention cash for
carbon.com. With that we had a little email exchange about
that. Yeah, you can mentioned I don't have it. Yeah, I thought
it was kind of cool. Hey, Adam. And John says Mark, I own cash
for carbon.com. A site to buy and sell actions or lack of
actions for cash, basically, ride your bike to work while I
drive for the week for like 50 bucks. Planted organic garden
for $100 For the season, or nap for humanity per hour, let's get
the slaves to work. This will stimulate the economy allow real
people to do real things for the environment, not just some
farmer in India. And he will be giving all of the profits of
cash for carbon to no agenda every Tuesday, every third
Sunday and Thursday, in honor of show release day. And he says he
hopes he can get us some cash. That's nice.
That is nice. And by the way, I want to mention though website
we don't mention enough, which is because I went to it. I said
this guy's really doing a great job. And he's getting more
traffic, which is the no agenda. entertainment.com
Oh, yeah. Oh, fantastic. It's totally fantastic.
He keeps track of every book we recommend. And all the movies
and all the rest of it is a really he doesn't is a beautiful
website is nice.
Also all the tracks, if I play do a daily source code, he gets
all the tracks and links to iTunes. That's a lot of work. So
we have a directory, which is a no agenda world.com And I'm just
starting to build it and I don't want to talk about it too much
on this show. But we're actually going to really build out those
links and make it easy for people to find when you know
managers in each different country of Gitmo nation. That a
lot of stuff working on what after get over this cold. Hit
them in the mouth.com now forwarding to no agenda show.com
like that a lot. Hot Pockets across America. tour.com. Thank
you so much. No paranoia.com Then we have cling to guns and
religion.com. Yeah, real proud about that one. I do like aq
usa.com. That's a very nice one. So we basically we are the al
Qaeda on the United States peninsula right now. That's
nice. AQ, USA, we are al Qaeda, and a link to a fine Mac
application, which I think is being it's free. Thomas released
this. It's a no agenda radiation calculator. Oh, yes. And you can
you can calculate how fast you're dying. I guess. I don't
know what's going on. But it's a link in the show notes under PR.
And then finally, I really have to make mention of the new
version of the pocket no agenda app it is it is completely out
of control. This thing is so awesome. Now, particularly the
bad signal, we now have individual bad signals for
individual shows. So if you want to be alerted when, for
instance, Ray on the Charlie is on, you will get a bad signal
for that you can turn it off if you don't want to be disturbed.
What's kind of cool, though, is that you and I, John or I more
specifically, I can actually trigger some of our favorite
jingles in the app. And I was playing with it yesterday. All
of a sudden, like turn down your speakers on the hundreds of
1000s of phones around Gitmo nation. With you Yeah. And
that's so cute. Because they were called people in the UK. It
was like one in the morning and all of a sudden
you're asleep and that pops up. I gotta be kind
of careful with this what you call a kid and a kid. You know,
there's like, yeah, like now.
Needless to say, juvenile. Yeah, it is juvenile, but it's very
fun. But it's cool that now, every program on the stream has
its own announcement. They're all on by default. So you might
want to check and make sure if you don't have a yet just update
the app. So thank you all very much for your participation in
in our show. In supporting our show today. Charlie Hendrix and
Daniel Foster and David Redner all executive producers and 300
club members to vorak.org/and A that's pretty much embedded into
your brain by now, isn't it? Anyone else out there please go
forth and propagate the formula.
Our formula is this we go out we get people in the mouth
say it loud and proud now.
So let me do a couple clips now. Because I have I probably have
as many clips as you do, but they're longer so we'll never
get to them all but I have a couple some weird things
happening. First of all, the Donald Trump presidential
campaign and is getting interesting is I'm I must say,
the guy is saying stuff. I'm like, yeah, right on, you know,
hey, bliss, this guy at least we know he's a douchebag up front.
You know. And I think that he is ego maniacal enough to actually
go for it. I think he just mind go for John.
Yeah. And you I don't know that that's this I actually I'm
stunned by this, that you'd say this because you're the one who
is, I think slightly more cynical about the show biz
versus publicity connection than I am. And the fact that he's got
a TV show, and he's promoting it in the process. You're I think
you have the hook. The big ol hook has got you right in their
mouth. And you're being reeled in?
No, I think I think you underestimate me. And I take
that as an insult. I believe
that as well. You should.
I think it would be very entertaining. I mean, first of
all, it doesn't matter whose prize we'd love it. I'm
not saying that's my polarity.
No, it would be fantastic. You know? What's his name? Heinrich
Schwarzenegger. Arnold. He has now said that people are telling
him he should probably run for president of the EU. And you
know what? I think this is it's gonna catch on these these kinds
of people. This is exactly what we've been needing. We've had
ugly people in politics for a long time. In general, I mean,
a lot of our presidents of the European how's he going to run
for president Schwarzenegger is Austrian. What are you talking
about? doesn't have an Austrian? Yes, he
does. Yes, he does. I don't think so. Yeah, he's an
Austrian. That's what we need. We need to find Austrian
gentleman running Europe.
I heard that small mustache. Yes. This is a very good idea.
Anyway, so I got to play this clip from Trump. Because he was
on with the George Stephanopoulos. And I'm
enough's. And it's really amazing. He he, you know,
because of course, we know that ABC News is completely
compromised. And this is where I just totally fell in love with
Trump. He's like, Well, I listened to it you as as George
Stephanopoulos, who is, you know, first of all, he's half
Trump size. And he's a little mousy kind of guy. And he's
trying to get an a word in edgewise. And Trump is just
trampling all over say
it's all about the messenger. A lot of Republicans think he'll
flood messenger for the party, Karl Rove again over the weekend
saying you're a joke candidate. If you continue to raise
questions about President Obama's citizenship,
there's a real question about the birth certificate. There's a
real question about the his own his own citizenship, there
is no official get a large shirt that you're actually nice, but
I know exactly what you're getting at the for some reason,
not the fact. He doesn't have a birth certificate or he hasn't
provided He's given us tificate of live birth. It's a much
different extension of live birth
meets the standard of nine to any one citizen orj. There were
contemporaneous reports and two are
given. I love it. They have co opted you, George, you are under
their spell. Those are
the folks they've co opted to say. It's not obviously Obama
and his minions
Come on. That's funny.
No, I'm not saying entertainment. I don't see why
they're there. I think it's both bull crap, to be honest about
that. Certain guys like rove who must think this is hilarious,
are coming. Oh, this is terrible. He shouldn't be saying
that. And meanwhile, you know, like it's one of those things
where she No, no, no applauding where you're like, meanwhile,
encouraging people to your other hand to like, bring up the
applause level.
Yeah, please, please. No, stop. Please. Really do more. Yeah,
exactly. Now, but it didn't stop there, man. It just kept on
going. And I was just like, Oh, I love this. It's please.
Is there more? Yeah, well, yeah, it doesn't stop they have co
opted you.
Just skip that and get them co opted you George you're a bot.
And first of all,
true a certificate of live birth is not the same thing by any
standard of Georgia. So simple. One Two long a Lulu and George
let him show the birth certificate. This is not this is
not a big focus of my campaign.
No, not at all. But when you're
watching a wrestling match with the full crowd
I spanked your woman while you weren't looking Jordan.
My big focus is China and OPEC. And I like
this. He was like China and OPEC. You know, he's like, we're
gonna kick their ass. That's what I'm here to, you know, this
is what everyone's doing. This is what's happening right now.
Our government is going after China. But here's a guy who was
he was put doesn't would just say that we're gonna go kick
China's s screw the China man,
all of these countries that are just absolutely destroying the
United States but this is not it's not a big focus of yours as
long as you continue to make it a big focus. Let's see what
happened. That's true too. He says you're making a big focus
it's absolutely true. This is hilarious.
Let's see what happens with a letter certificate of live birth
and a birth certificate are very useful
investigators to why he and you said quote, they cannot believe
what they're finding. What happens
nonnamous People gets these, these these experts say,
well, listen, if you know what, what are you George
Stephanopoulos? You know, the questions to
ask you right, running your business right now.
That your business Shut up slavers see what happens.
They found anything, we're
going to see what happens. What have they done, we are going to
see what happens when
I'm the final episode of The Apprentice of cars. What else do
you think we're gonna see what happened? Like
next question, joy, you refuse to accept that the
President was in the United States.
I hope he was. I'm not looking if I should run. And if I decide
to go, and I ended up getting the nomination, I don't want to
use this as an issue. I'm not just like a normal guy says
that, gee, I'm going to run for president I was a governor, I
was a senator I'm going to run from
now. I'm a douchebag. Just straight up now I'm gonna run.
I give up a lot. If I run the thing like that. I like all the
hookers and blow also give up a lot of my free private life. I
have a great company. I've done a great job, which if I run
you'll see what a great job because I'll do a full
disclosure of finances. In
what way the bulk crap
back lip. Now. Sorry, I'm a little slow on the ball. I can't
I can't turns.
We'll look at that. Maybe I'm going to do the tax returns when
Obama does his birth certificate. All right. So
I just thought that was hilarious. Now, something weird
happened. And I don't know if it was before this interview or
after this interview. So now we have I think there's a leak
either either there's a leak within ABC, and some and someone
let this out. And she was ready for it. Or the whole thing was
scripted and acted and I don't understand what's happening.
Michelle Bachman. She was also being interviewed by George
Stephanopoulos. And he whips out the birth certificate. He
actually has a John, did you know this? All this time? He has
the birth certificate.
Well, how come he didn't show it earlier?
You know what, but he's you can hear him leading Michelle
Bachman on trying to get her all pumped up and ready. And then he
just said he's trying to send her out trying to set her up. He
does the big whip out. And then it's like she knew it like she
knew it was coming. So either there's a leak with an ABC and
someone said, Be careful. Whatever you do, he's gonna pull
the birth certificate out. So apparently he has it. Or this
whole thing was scripted one or the other. I'd like you to Oh,
did I lose you, John? Well, no. Heard you heard him. Die away.
Are you there? Finished? No, we can't be finished. I'm still
connected. Let's pause. Well, that was weird. You just dropped
out that you lose connection somehow.
I know I was you were talking and then you stopped talking.
And then I realized we're disconnecting and you were just
talking away and you were saying yakking away. The way I see it
was some of the best radio in your life. I'm telling you. It
was so funny.
Was it something about a clutch? So, okay, that's car. Right. So
let's listen to this a little bit. And I'd like your opinion,
John, if this was a leak to her, which is a problem because of
course ABC is CO opted and compromised. Or if they were
just playing out a script together. Sure. I
do want to get on to some other subjects. Donald Trump was on
this program yesterday. He seems to be at the center of the
Republican debate. Right now. He's at 8%. In our latest poll,
you're down at 1% Karl Rove and other Republicans calling the
chat room to craft a room to grow. Sarah Palin has praised
you take his candidacy seriously?
Well, I think that it's up to Donald Trump if he takes his
candidacy seriously. Certainly, he's had a good foothold with a
lot of people in the United States. And if they're intrigued
by him and what he has to say
he continues to raise these questions about the President's
birth status in less than a year on Fox News suggesting the
president should come forward his birth certificate
as well urine what
I've said about that is I was asked the question about that
and the end, Republicans are constantly asked to vouch for
the authenticity of the birth certificate, the only one who
can is the clerk of court in the county where someone is born,
and that's where people should go don't ask Republicans go in
but actually one of your supporters in the state of Iowa
was put forward a bill
you hear it so he's drawn her out right he's you know, he
right there it she answered the call. question correctly. Yeah,
and he's trying to get her back on the track now listen to what
he how he tries to back it up again because it was really
interesting the way he's almost like goes panic in his voice.
Oh, that's interesting to you and hear us listen for
it. And that's where people should go don't ask Republicans
go in. But actually one of your supporters
in the state of Iowa
he got a little nervous I didn't eat little jitter. So now now
he's trying to pull out something else he's really
trying to draw out put forward a bill
that would require presidential candidates to file their birth
certificate with their candidacy referring to Yep, portent.
Well, Governor Jan Brewer just vetoed that bill in Arizona,
because she felt that that was a bridge too far that it wouldn't
be up to the authenticators in each state to do that, because
that would be a federal issue. There is a federal piece of
legislation that hasn't gone anywhere. They would also
require that the candidates put forward their birth certificate,
I have no problem giving my birth certificate, it wouldn't
bother me.
She's so cool. She's so cool with this. She's no I have no
problem giving my birth certificate not a problem
whatsoever. Now she I think that at this point, she knows he's
going to do the big reveal. And she's trying to put a little bit
on top just to really embarrass him.
Oh, I've got one it's authenticated. Take it
well. So does the President according of the bill, a
candidate for president or vice president shall attach to and
file with the affidavit? A can a copy of the candidates per
certificate certified by the appropriate official in the
candidates date of birth? And as well, I have the President's
certificate right here.
He has it How come I haven't seen this?
And how can we didn't show it to Trump.
And that was just the day before. So he has it now and
they do a still shot certified.
It's got a certification number. It's got the Registrar of the
state signed, it's got a seal on it. And it says this copy serves
as prima facie evidence of the fact of birth in any court
proceeding
for them that should settle it.
Well, that's unsettling. It's over.
That's what you settle it. I take the president His Word. And
I think if we're any if again, I would have no problem that
apparently the President wouldn't either introduce that
we're done.
Well, this has been introduced. So this case is this. This story
is over?
Well, as long as someone introduces it, I guess it falls
right there. Yeah, here we go. That is not the main issue
facing the United States right now.
I think I think there's a leak within ABC and she knew it.
There's just no other way because she's she's spoken very
differently at rallies about this issue. And she was so calm,
like, oh, that settles it, then doesn't it? And he's like,
that's it. You're not freaking out on me. Think of my ratings
woman. This was not the agreement. Well, the
worst part is that he's he continued on with his script,
despite the fact that she was already locked down on another
track. And it makes him look like like a bumbling idiot.
Well, I mean, he is it was very funny is a bumbling idiot.
That was very funny. If you think of if you deconstruct what
you just witnessed with that clip. It was perfect. It says
he's he's thinks he's got somebody hooked. Yep. And he's
reeling him in and then he comes up with an inner tube. And he
pretends it's a fish
Well, that settles it then. Doesn't it?
Hilarious. Something she?
I think there's they must be freaking out who?
I think I know. I know if it was ABC. Here's what probably I'm
just supposing I have no idea what went on. There must have he
must have had the meeting with Trump the day before and then
all hell broke loose. And it and the White House or somebody said
Here Here take this. They made this thing appear and it was
such a buzz that she got wind. Okay, that's that's possible.
But she realized that the only reason she's being invited onto
his show is to so he can show her this. And so she played it's
so cool and calm and yeah, that's right. Well, I'm all on
board. You know, Jen making him look like a bumbling you know,
like, you look typical of a hit piece. Yeah, if the if the
person doesn't Can't you know, do a real hit piece on somebody
make them look like an idiot? Yeah, all the ducks really do
have to be in a row. Yeah, it's not easy. And it's not easy and
and the person has to kind of fall into the trap. You know,
they have to be arrogant or they have to do something that makes
them look like an idiot. So the hit piece works well she
obviously got wind of something and she just played it cool as a
cucumber and looks like the the good guy he looked like like a
jerk.
Perfect. Yeah, so I thought that was very funny.
That's a good clip I give you just all right. I mean as you're
watching the
show, well, I've been watching all kinds of stuff. Wow, what's
going on here? I got like planes and stuff flying overhead. Well,
maybe the missile and you know there were a black helicopters
last night in Miami downtown Miami for hours. They were like
taken off from rooftops and landing on other ones and drug
bust. No, it was apparently a department of home Land security
drill. But they hadn't notified any of the residents and people
like, you know, it's like it's annoying when there's a
helicopter hovering above your roof for an hour. Yes. As I'm
witnessing right now, as a matter of fact, it's very
annoying sound. Yeah, people are a little bit freaked out by
that. But they, you know, these, of course, weren't the real
black helicopters, because they didn't have whisper mode. So
they're very, what is that noise? God is some idiot with
like a leaf blower go. We're in California, Los Angeles.
Douchebag. So, did you hear about this one, the President
gave a three separate interviews to local local news stations.
And key, he got really flustered, because of course,
these guys, these local guys, they don't play by the script,
right and right,
and they probably know that this is going to be their one shot.
And boy, did this guy take advantage of it. So not only
does he really pissed the president off, and he said
something about that at the end, but he actually flustered the
president into confirming a double a double negative, which
really blew me away. And I don't think anyone caught it. But
essentially, if you can, if you go into a double negative,
you're confirming what was being denied. Let me get to see if I
can give you an example here. We met
the president in the Map Room of the ground level of the White
House where he said his deficit reduction plan is better with
its higher taxes on the rich and cuts, we can take a more
balanced approach consistent with what my fiscal commission
put forward, which says 2 million $2 trillion worth of
cuts, but in Texas, his plan is a tough sell. Why do you think
you're so unpopular in Texas? Well, I look at the
Cadillac.
Texas has always been a pretty Republican state for you know,
for historic reasons.
historic reasons.
What might those be? What does that mean? That thing is
bullcrap over
here and furred his election met Texas politics. We're changing
what we lost by a few percentage points in Texas. Oh, you will
you've lost by about 10.
Okay, this is where it starts to go off the rails with
10 Boni not too
often the bad boy for my understand the I mean, if what
you're telling me is Texas. Hello, everybody for the state.
You're absolutely right. I mean, Republican Governor Rick Perry
harshly and frequently criticizes the President over
the health care law, EPA regulations on Texas oil and gas
industries and the budget that Mr. Obama hinted at hypocrisy by
Perry, Governor Perry helped balance his budget with about $6
billion worth of federal health, which he happily took and then
now now listen very carefully, because you gotta listen. You
really got to focus in on what happens in this next bit,
started blaming the members of Congress who had offered that
help Houston Republicans and Democrats suspect the Obama
administration skipped Houston to award shuttle orbiters to
states that would help in the President's reelection. That's
wrong. So what was on the shuttle not wanted to Houston
because of politics, I've just said that was wrong. I we had
nothing to do with it. White House had nothing to do with
that there was a whole commission the whole process.
That's how the decision was made. You weren't personally
involved in the decision. I just said that wasn't true.
So you weren't personally involved in the decision? He
comes back and says I just said that wasn't true. ie it was
true. Am I crazy?
No. What you're he is answering the question in a as a negative
in the wrong way. He's saying the he's answering some previous
question. But he's actually but if you take it, if you if you
have him answering the question the guy just asked, yeah, then
he's just essentially saying, Yes, he did it. But I think it's
poor showmanship and whatever the case is, he could have
charmed this guy earlier. With that 10 Point thing that was an
opportunity for Obama to to joke around, say, Well, you know, I'm
an optimist and gee, you know, these things happen. But instead
he got all bent out of shape about it being corrected, he
can't be correct. Well, listen
to this and listen to the end. I don't know if you can hear
perfectly what
he says. Every right wing show everyone was
showing. Oh, really? Okay. I didn't know that.
He claimed an immigration reform bill still isn't dead. So the
question is going to be are we going to be able to find some
Republicans who can partner with me and others to get this done
once and for all, instead of using it as a political
football? And the President says he's not giving up on Texas
you're gonna campaign in Texas for re election or is the state
written on? I never write off any states. I never write off
states and I love Texas. After the interview, Mr. Obama pointed
out that he doesn't like an interview or challenging his
comments.
So you can't hear he says, next time let me finish my answers.
Boy. Shut up, slave. Don't
listen to this. He never really interrupted Obama that much. And
by the way, Obama will Riley interrupted constantly. Obama's
long winded it has to be interrupted he goes. And then
exactly also it's apparel What you interrupt him about because
I do have a clip, which is, which is the Zuckerberg clip
where Zuckerberg is asking him a question. And then just before
Obama's gonna jump in, Zuckerberg interrupts him and
doesn't let him say anything until he gives him a big
compliment. And so the big compliment, I guess it's okay to
you can interrupt me if you're gonna tell me how great I am.
The next one is from the web. We've got a question from Kwame
Symons from Orlando, Florida. And he asks, I strongly believe
that education is the greatest equalizer. With so many problems
plaguing our current system, is it possible to examine a
complete overhaul of the systems that addresses the needs of
modern students?
Okay, hold on a second. That's not a real question. That is not
that's a fake question.
You think it's a fake? Really question
from the web would be?
Yo, what tracks you drop in? Nigga,
please, this is so bogus.
Before you jump in. I just want to say as someone who's spent a
bunch of time researching education, who cares about this,
I think that the Race to the Top stuff that you guys have done is
one of the most underappreciated and most important things that
your administration has done.
So I appreciate that.
By the way,
Samsung before you before you say he jumps in, Bob interrupts
Obama, and then gives him this big kiss on the lips with this
Race to the Top crap. And it this whole thing was
unbelievable. And yeah, they were all scripted. In the people
in the there were people in the artist had jumped up and asked a
question, and they were all like, you know, pretty lame. And
there's a couple of things. I don't want to keep bringing
these clips up. I do have an excessive number. But i By the
way, and I hope that I'm going to try to relent from overdoing
this because I do think my original thesis that Obama is
going to talk himself out and he's going to get old fast, is
going to come up on the show, too. But here's an interesting
weasel word well, with a little neuro linguistic stuff going on
with Obama on the budget. He's got some weasel words in here.
It's quite an interesting.
So what his budget proposal does is not only hold on, hold on,
stop. So he's talking about Paul Ryan's budget. Obviously, the
thing is, he does these long pause. On this pause, by the
way, the first pause, I actually cut this thing down by 90%.
Because I couldn't play the clip. With this, I mean, it
would be like, you know, it'd be is this dead air, you'd be
wondering yourself. So I had, so I had to kind of tighten this up
a little bit. But he goes, he has these things and he sits and
he's thinks and thinks of some way of putting something then
he'll say something and then he'll do his little neuro
linguistic addition to it. So when he says taxes for the for
example, that we're keeping taxes the same, he changed or
changed that to lower taxes, and there's always a pause, and then
he always throws in for the rich,
not only hold income tax flat, he actually wants to further
reduce taxes for the wealthy X further reduce taxes for
corporations, not pay for those or brand in order to make his
numbers work. Cut 70% out of our clean energy budget, cut 25% out
of our education budget, cut transportation budgets by a
third. I guess you could call that bold. I would call it short
sighted.
So a couple things here. First of all, there's some kind of
truck outside making a lot of noise out here right now. Okay,
you can't but I can't so I'm sorry about that. Now, second of
all, Paul Ryan is also a douchebag. All these guys are
all these guys are incredible. And by the way he looks he's
like a little Weasley. Douchebag. I mean, it's very
weak. This guy just fall out of Harvard or Yale or where's he
from? This
looks like a horrible, horrible fit. It looks like a preppy
and everyone is just weaseling around because the true problem
is we're spending a trillion dollars on war, and no one will
actually just come out and say it. That's the solution. Just
stop killing people. Stop it already. What does that mean? Is
that like a truck? Did you try? Yeah. What did you do?
You actually went outside and said, stop that.
There's a show going on. Yeah. Really? You're ruining my life.
And then what they say. Now they're doing this whole
plumbing thing. Oh, really? That's gonna cost
me try that New York. Yeah,
that's right. Did they tap your ass? Maybe you can show some
skin. I'm sick. Oh, sorry, honey. Yeah,
she's got the flu too.
Yeah, no, she bought Yeah, she has the flu as well. We're both
down and out. I think it's because you guys started smoking
again. You made yourself vulnerable. No, no, no,
no anyway. So that of course is is the big elephant in the room.
So it's all a big joke. It's all theory. I
know that. Yeah, I agree with this 100%. But that was reading
something about Obama made a stupid comment. And I had to
check it out. Because at some point, he says that that you
just have to look it up. Yeah. And there's one here where he
talks about the engineers, see if I can find which one it is.
Maybe in the batch to Obama. The asthma comment is funny, because
it was commented on by a bunch of people. There's one new thing
he says, Andy Grove, it's one thing after another, he says
That's bogus. He actually says That's bogus. No, no, he said,
Tuesday, here's the rant on infrastructure is the one that I
want to refer to.
According to the Republican budget that was passed, for
example, we would have to eliminate transportation funding
by a third, we'd have to cut transportation by funding by
third. You remember when that bridge in Minnesota collapsed,
with all those people on it? And there was a big hue and cry, how
can this happen in America? Well, the National Society of
engineers they've looked around and they give give us a D when
it comes to infrastructure?
No, is that the same guys who said that the World Trade Center
could not have collapsed by itself? Or the different
engineers?
Well, there's one thing is there is no American Society of
engineers.
I really you look that up. Yeah. The American Society of
engineers. Oh, I gotta, I gotta listen to that. When we check
that again.
They've looked around and
back a little
Society of engineers.
I love it. Oh, why don't you switch making
random and yeah, okay. The American Society of engineers.
Nice. Okay. So
there is no such thing but but that's but what he wanted, he
maybe could have said, which is what it was, which is the
American Society of Civil Engineers, who's who's who is a
kind of a, you know, they have a vested interest in in building
stuff. infrastructure. So they see everywhere they look,
everything is falling apart. And so they gave they think the
country is falling apart. And they said it's a D, but if you
start looking at their, their they have a website, it's called
infrastructure report card. dark.or have just actually 2009
study, he says, and they say that we're, we're $2.2 trillion
in need of new roads. There's probably some truth to that out
here, because there's potholes, but they had stuff like I was
looking at the state by state and they said something like,
California, for example. This is one of the problems. It says an
unmet need of 1.7 billion for outdoor recreation facilities
and Parkland acquisition. So we get low grades, because of this
way we show and others are not buying enough property, the Feds
aren't buying enough property so that this gives us a low grade,
by the way, $1.7 billion. That's less than what we spend on the
war in Afghanistan a week
here. All right, let's get off of this because I'm incredibly
bored with the whole Facebook Obama story. What a distraction
from what's really going on.
And what I want to say one more thing, though, while you were
bored, which I can imagine, you remember that clip of Biden
fallen asleep during the speech? Yes. And then the woman behind
him who dough who's had just caved in, she was down right.
Did she die? No, no, no, she was asleep, but she might have
passed out. So I saw the clip again on on the big screen and I
and besides Joe Biden asleep, and the woman behind him conked
out so cold, the black chick in the back was falling asleep and
she was just she was like that,
like the head jerk. Yeah, head
Jerk. Jerk. So there were three people out of six. conked.
Do you know why this is because they all had to go to rehearsal
they've all done this. They heard the speech they all had to
you know, they rehearsed this I'm sure I'm sure that they have
an identical room. And you're gonna sit here Oh, Biden. You
sit over here. A lady falling asleep lady you sit over here a
general you sit over here and they do it over and over again.
It's a rehearsal this the whole everything is so scripted with
these guys. They're just tired. Just fell asleep. Yeah, just
like high school kids at the high school play. You know, I'm
tired. So anyway, so very important news, John. Sweet
Mickey Martelli, the newly elected and completely fair and
legally and democratically elected former singer of some
kalua band, who is now the president of Haiti. came to
visit Lucy for Clinton. And they had a nice little, little
statement together and we had Lucifer there and that there was
like three people, literally three people in the audience and
this guy also He couldn't speak English anymore, but we've heard
him speak English. It's okay, right? It's not bad. So he was
speaking French with an interpreter standing nearby. So
I'm going to spare you the opening statements by prowl
Lucifer. But something very funny like mid midway, she says
how important this whole Haitian thing is how really, really
personally important it is. Of course, we know why because, you
know, we're gonna have Clinton Ave and, you know, Bill and
Hillary Clinton honeymoon suite in the hotel. I mean, they've
been waiting for this for years. Yeah,
are behind him. We have a great deal of enthusiasm. This is not
only a goal of our foreign policy, but it is a personal
priority for me, my husband and many of us here.
You think, personal goal
in Washington. Now some of you may know that Mr. Marta Lee's
campaign slogan was Tet, Calais. Now I'm told the literal
translation of that slogan is bald head, which doesn't need
any further explanation. What?
Yeah, he's bald, he has a bald head. Oh, it probably means
dickhead. But someone told her wrong.
But Tete Calais is also an expression. That means all the
way and the people of Haiti may have a long road ahead of them.
But as they walk it, the United States will be with you. By the
way, thank you, sir.
In the past, and I listened to the applause
like three people. So anyway, so then sweet Nikki Martelli goes
into his whole rap, which is like, I was like Joe Biden,
like, whatever. So then we opened it up to questions. This
is always interesting, because you never ever see that on
television. What do you think the first question was about
regarding as we have Haiti, we've got the, the bald headed
guy, we've got Lucifer Clinton, what is the number one question
what would the topic be about?
If it was me? I'd asked. Where's the money?
No, we talked about Libya. Of course, it was the
most embarrassing thing what the first question right off the bat
is about Libya and Syria, not even
at the press conference.
And I said,
Oh, okay. Yeah. And she without without even you know, saying
well, that's kind of inappropriate, just go straight
into the answer. So I think it was a scripted moment, with you
know, prepared and like alright, you know,
you want it has to be it has to be because this is off topic.
And I've never seen anyone in one of these deals when somebody
goes off talk where they're not scolded for it, ya know, she's a
scold or scold a
fact she smiled
among the international community can provide which,
which goods and services. Now, I think it's important to point
out that
this, this, by the way, is about the $25 million that the State
Department is making available to the the opposition, formerly
known as the rebels, formerly known as twitterers. So they're
making $25 million available in stuff
opposition, which has held its own against a brutal assault by
the Qaddafi forces was not a an organized militia. It was not a
group that had been planning to oppose the rule of Qaddafi. For
years, it was a spontaneous response.
Yeah, spontaneous response with tanks and jet fighters. Amazing
how the and who are these people? Hillary's
within the context of the broader Arab Spring, these are
mostly business people, students, lawyers, doctors,
professors.
Now, you've seen the video of the so called rebels do they
look like lawyers and doctors to you
know, look like they look like just a bunch of street Ruffins
who have very bravely moved to defend their communities and to
call for an end to the regime in Libya. And we are going to
continue to take actions consistent with UN authorization
to try to fulfill the international commitment.
So she goes on and on and it's literally like three minutes of
answer of this completely inappropriate question, but
she's there teeing it up. And and it's very important for
everyone to see this because what they're doing now is they
are remember we read the the United Nations resolutions
1970 1973 Where there's All this stuff in there. And then at the
very end, it basically says, these terms of services can
change at any minute, right? Well, we're at that point right
now. And that point is, the one little line that you and I both
joked about is that they can literally use any means
necessary to protect civilians. So William Hague, who is the
foreign minister for Gitmo nation, east over there in the
UK, he comes out and he says, Oh, we're gonna send in troops
boots on the ground. But, John, they're not going to be fighting
troops. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, we're not we're not going to
do that. No, no, they're just going to provide support and
logistics and, you know, like, you know, help them how to set
up a tent
helping them to organize themselves. This is mentoring
rather than training. It's not training.
It's mentoring is totally 90
days for rich. There's the Brits that are sending in these guys.
Yeah, the
Brits are Yeah, oh, the French want to send in the commandos.
But the bridge is, this is not training. It's mentoring.
This is not training, the fighting forces of the
opposition is not training people how to use specific
pieces of equipment or what to do on the guy have such a
douchebag. This is organizational assistance
systems.
Organizational sessions IDI, let me get the marbles out of my
mouth,
saying this is how you organize your structures. This is how you
organize your communications or your logistics, all the
training.
Yeah, they should bring in ups because they're good at
logistics is
that if they can do that, they will be in a better position to
protect civilian life.
That sounds like training. Yeah, so this is good. Excuse me. That
sounds like training. Right on girl.
It's not training the fighting forces.
Oh, they gotta just train the kids on the streets, mentoring.
cheerleaders, just mentoring
very clear. It is helping with the organization of
headquarters, but headquarters not training or arming the
fighting forces of the opposition. So they're very
clear distinction between
those British officers who are involved in this new contingent
were to be attacked by Gaddafi will aid fight back. Good
question. in self defense,
well, their protection really comes from the opposition side,
though.
I could just see a bunch of British troops like, you know,
if we're attacked, these guys are going to protect are going
to protect boneheads really, really, I weep. I weep for the
young men and women in Gitmo nation UK in the East who have
to go there. I weep for you, my heart. I know kids who have come
back from Afghanistan that my daughter used to hang out with
that completely effed up, is this guy is an asshole. I'm
sorry. It's just he has no qualms about sending young kids
into this crap, for money and for all you're a dick.
So these are not fighting forces. So now they are not
going to engage in Battlefield. Battlefield. These are advisors,
these are people who know about organizational aspects. They're
not people who are they Oh, let
me guess they're consultants to to fight a
war themselves. Wouldn't you be safer to go after another
resolution which would give you more scope at this point? Well,
I don't think there's any need for that to do this. Because as
I said, I'm confident this is well within the United Nations
resolutions the provision to take all necessary measures in
order to protect the civilian party. There
it is, they pull it a pulls out the final line card, we can take
all necessary measures, and we can do whatever we want.
Now, so that he rambles on I think there is one clip that we
should really listen to
Him do that little color that the Hillary was on with
Kissinger on the Charlie Rose show yesterday. Yeah, I
didn't have time to watch it.
i Yeah, there was an interesting I didn't I have a clip where I
can show it played on Sunday but it's when Charlie Rose says well
we want we want regime change. Here's here's retargeting.
Here's
what Charlie says,
Tell me about this sexuality. It's in your DNA.
He said we want regime change. And Hillary she's talking to
Kissinger and Hillary jumps in says no, no, no, that's not why
we're there. Right that's what she says we're that's not why
we're there. We're there to protect us to protect the
civilians. Idiot. I'm thinking this is this thing is falling.
This has fallen off the track meanwhile, of course they're
shooting protesters left and right in Syria as we speak
Democracy Now they've kind of full they're actually focusing
their show they all the you know, the progress on Syria,
right? No on on Bahrain, because apparently all hell's broken
loose there. And there's this one woman who is pregnant and
she's a martyr and she's under arrest and the Bahrainis are
being shot and the Saudi soldiers are in there killing
Bahrainis and the The whole thing is on and on about
Bahrain, Syria, they don't have any sympathy for. So that's
going to who knows how we're going to deal with that. But
this whole thing is like, you know, Syria, they're there. I
mean, they have to be in the same playbook. So Syria is going
to fall. But Bahrain isn't on that road to Persia so that that
path the Persian path to Persia, and it's, it's gonna end up
being you know, was still whatever it is, I'm just gonna
stay as Barbara and one of our buddies because though I think
it's the ninth fleet, or one of the one of the big Navy
contingents used Bahrain as their home base, and they can't
have any bull crap going on there. So they might as well you
know, nobody wants to talk about that. Anyway, this whole thing
is a fiasco
most of there's a couple of things. First of all, I want to
thank Dave, who is a part of the knowledge and the news network,
he shows up as a southern bred.org. And he had a very
interesting theory, which I've cross referenced with a couple
of our other boots on the ground and people in the business. He
says, he feels that there's also a fight going on between slumber
J and Halliburton over North African oil, which I hadn't even
thought about, but it's actually a pretty good theory slumber. J
trying to move Russia into North Africa, Halliburton trying to
keep them out. So and of course, both of these companies have
more than just oil rigging businesses. So and of course,
you know, we know who's behind Halliburton. So I thought that
was very interesting. Something showed up on Russia Today,
though, and what I'd like to do is I want to play this clip. And
when you have had enough of it, you tell me and we'll stop it.
I love Russia today. Well, you're
not gonna love this because, again, once again, I mean, you
know, are they paying our consultancy bills? Because
they're not taking our advice? They are not taking the hot
shakes. You
see Natasha curry. No on a she's on HLN on the weekends. No, she
looks like she's very pretty. She shouldn't be the one that
should just hire her. She's real. She's pretty in a Yasmin
bleef kind of way she Yeah,
she is. Oh, I see a swimsuit picture of her is she Russian?
Because she got the name Natasha. What more do you need?
Well, curry curry is a British name isn't it?
Let me see anchor CNN Headline News fill in for Robin Meade on
Morning express on Hold on a second on Morning express with
Robin Meade now featuring Natasha curry. Previously
morning anchor KOMO TV. She's from Seattle. Personal doesn't
say oh, she's been married to a firefighter since her days at
Como and recently began appearing on air with her
wedding ring. She's cute. Anyway,
I think she'd be good on the Russia Today thing as they never
should
have to bleach your hair. I mean, it has to be blonde. I
like
you're right. Yeah, they're never gonna go with the blonde.
They're not they're just idiots. So now they have a douchebag
English guy. And but what's interesting is they bring in a
guest. And this is hilarious. This guest name is Pepe Escobar.
I saw this and I was and I taped some of it. Escobar this is
actually quite entertaining. The guy's got most of our theory.
And he buddy has a few extra gotchas in there that we don't
have which I may incorporate and play him
painting of Washington's pursuing a larger goal than just
regime change across the Arab world. Let's bring into the
picture from Brazil. The Asian Times correspondent Pepe Escobar
now,
by the way, I mean, he's got to be a part of the Escobar crime
family. The Matey email he's
from Brazil Escobar is like Jones, but so far, it's not a
not a portrait that I know of. So I don't know where he's
actually originally from. I like him though he and he lays great.
It's a great thing to listen to everyone was gonna get a kick
out of
this ask you about the role some countries are playing in the
uprisings eating chip Pepe, and maybe one of your recent
articles just been reading your site, China's one of China's
what is that?
China's China's
China's China's get
dafis major financial partners. Does that mean therefore
carrying this one through this train of thought that Beijing
has a vested interest in keeping the status quo?
Well, it's it goes way beyond Libya. In fact, I'm working on a
story at the moment, pitting the Pentagon against China. This is
the big story in Africa for the next 50 years, I would say
starts in the beginning of the 2000s. With the creation of the
African Union. Qaddafi was very important in this mechanism. It
was a mechanism to give a political voice to Africa and in
terms of better unified Africa in terms of political decisions.
And, you know, of course, economic integration. Then China
start investing much more than he was investing during the
1990s. all over Africa in at least 30 countries. They have
more than 900 projects all over Africa. They are the number one
or imported from Angola for instance, they import materials,
Platinum materials and metals from at least a dozen different
African countries. And then came the reaction from the Pentagon
2007 2008. With the African command.
This is a big one this after AFRICOM, the African command,
we've kind of I've had a couple of
links in the show notes. Of course, we talked about this
basic theory when we first started the show, about the fact
that Chinese are going in, and we have the other element, which
he doesn't discuss, which is the fact that they come in with
these sweet deals to bring in Chinese products, right without
paying tariffs, which is another would go into that later, but
we've talked about this before. And we did talk about Africa,
Africa, calm or whatever. It's called, I believe, a couple of
over two years ago.
Yeah, but But what he has to say about it is something I hadn't
considered, which
has just launched its first African war, when they launched
the tomahawks, three weeks ago against against Tripoli,
basically. So now, this is the chessboard, it's the Pentagon
via African against Chinese investments. I love it. And in
the middle are, I would say at least 50
Stupid slaves you're in, you're in the middle, you're kind of
annoying. And we pound some tomahawks on your head, African
governments and they are scrambling to see, okay, what
we're gonna do now?
Perfect. Let me just focus in a bit here. Okay. So you say
there's an opinion, the ran, there is an opinion, isn't it
that Iran is Washington's endgame here after Libya may be
Syria to now take into consideration as Chinese
investments you've been talking about? Let's focus in on Iran.
Can we expect to see China take sides? Maybe if the threat of
regime change reaches machmood? Image? Ahmadinejad? Yes or no?
What do you think?
I would say no, because the next domino to fall, if we follow the
agenda established by
Washington, now let's pay close attention because you got to
write these names down would be Syria.
I would say that, let's let's look at the window of
opportunity for the past for the next five or six weeks in Syria.
If the lifting of the state of emergency by President Bashar
Assad holds and the protests continue, then we're going to
have major trouble because not only the US is trying to
destabilize the Bashar Assad government, like the recent
reports, and the WikiLeaks cables prove it. But also Saudi
Arabia is financing the Muslim Brotherhood in Syria and the
Muslim Brotherhood. It's basically is a weaponized
ideological arm of Saudi Arabia, he would love to have a very,
very close ally in Syria in the form of a Muslim Brotherhood
government. So I would say pay attention to Syria in the next
five, six weeks.
And how far would Washington ever push this? China is, of
course major creditor for the US. How far would Washington go
in competition with Beijing?
Well, it's the problem is the different Washington agendas.
White House,
this is very interesting, because now he's,
you know, this is one of the things we've talked about this,
and we ourselves have, have determined that there are
multiple agendas going on. And there may be battles between the
CIA, the White House and CIA and the Pentagon. And this start and
even when Rumsfeld was, was in there, he was like, apparently
trading these these problems. So we have like multiple
governments. Yeah. And it's a big
mess, national
security agencies, CIA, the Pentagon, the Pentagon,
basically, is the African agenda. They want to win the war
in Libya, installed an African base in Africa. We have to
remember the African headquarters and speaker in
Germany because nobody in Africa wanted to headquarters based in
an African country.
That's that would to me was a big one. I didn't know that
either. I thought, wow. Okay. So that's that's the plan is we got
to install AFRICOM headquarters. Big in Africa. Yeah. Because
they were based in Stuttgart doing they're not a good place
to meet.
And then they're the dominoes, Libya, Ivory Coast, Eritrea,
Zimbabwe, Somalia. So these are the next dominoes to fall
according to the African Pentagon agenda.
Now. This is very interesting, because we have a different
thought about the pipeline that has to go all the way down south
and he doesn't mention any of those. It doesn't mention the
Congo. It doesn't mention Uganda. So could that be the
problem that we have the African Pentagon based fraction and they
want to have all these did they just want to have control
because it just you know, they get off on it's like they're
whacking off like
there's something there is definitely a second to two
things going on at the same time. And I think that's why we
get confirmed Usually we try to deconstruct this. Now I want to
say that when he mentioned I have reclosed, I perked up
because I don't have a clip from it. But I was thinking about
putting the clip in there, which is I was watching over the was
either the weekend or a couple days ago. It was probably a
couple days ago, I was watching some some stuff on CNN. And they
were doing these. They were they were doing internationally, CNN
International, they're doing international news. And they
were just all the same news ago, normally here, then they do a
whole special out of the blue. And this is for an American
audience out of the blue on the Ivory Coast. And I'm saying why
are they doing the story on the Ivory Coast who gives a crap.
And it was like a big soil there. There's a you know, the
new government is going to come in and this is going to happen.
There's a whole bunch of stuff going on in the Ivory Coast,
which we haven't been following because of it because we don't
know who's whose plan of execution we're on to. But we're
on the one that involves the celebrities and the Congo and
that group and in the pipeline. Right. And there's some other
one that's apparently overlaying the one we're on to that we have
to now take it we have to adjust for. And the Ivory Coast is part
of that. And you mentioned Somalia and and some other
countries and other countries. Yeah, Nigeria and Nigeria.
That's another one that keeps showing up. If you haven't
noticed, that's showing up in the news out of the blue. I
mean, we I mean, why are we getting election results from
Angola? I mean, why it was all of a sudden Nigeria is such a
big topic to get the American public used to the fact I don't
know we're gonna have an out and out war with the countries in
Africa, are we going to be liberating them and making them
quote unquote, democracies? Besides the pipeline thing? I
mean, which is kind of contradicts what this other
thing might be about. I don't know I now I'm completely it
muddied the water. Let's put it that way.
Well, so it certainly seems like there's just a bunch of guys who
get hard ons for killing people. And particularly if the Chinese
if there's Chinese fuckers in there. They really liked that
there'll be AFRICOM and the Pentagon. And then there's the
oil Cabal, which, you know, they have their own agenda, though,
that OPEC I guess. Anyway, so we know, it's confusing. But one
thing's for sure. This is not about humanitarian effort.
That's for sure. This is about killing people and making money
off of stuff that flies and without pilots and kills the
Chinese out of Africa. Yeah, it's all of it. Definitely. So
this is all a proxy to strike back at at China. And it'll be
interesting to see what China does. I, you know, we'll theory
about China.
His theory with this guy Pepe, which I thought was interesting.
You don't have to play anymore that because I'm gonna summarize
now. But anyway, his theory is that the Chinese won't or
nonconfrontational. So they do everything, you know, through
very sneaky layered approaches. So which is what they've been
doing in Africa, because that's how they've been getting all
their goods and services into Africa without paying any duty,
pretty much wiping out all the European competition, which is
when I first got winded this about five years ago from some
Germans that had told me about what was going on in China,
right, which is that the Chinese they come in, they promise,
you're gonna build a big dam, but they got to bring all their
people and they got to, you know, they got to have some some
considerations. And the first thing they do is they basically
build a town. And they bring in every sort of, you know, color
TV and stereo and computer into this and they start selling it
to the locals that without having to pay duty. And
everybody buys it, why should we buy your expensive IBM when we
can buy this stuff from China for 1/10? The price so let me
ask you this. Let me ask you this question. Where do these
rebels always get their American flags from that
they burn? If they're like a Chinese bank, I was gonna
say, like a flag shop and every corner if I had to go get an
American flag here, I mean, I'd have to hunt around I'd have to
Google and I have to drive somewhere to go get an American
flag. You'd have to order from Amazon. These guys seem to have
flags all the time. They got like, bushels of flags, and you
know, they're made in China. It's like, that's just curious.
You know, it's like, where do you get the flags from?
to Burnaby have, you know, they the Chinese are probably selling
American flags that are free. So get two
flags, get your pre sale. flags here, they burn great numbers.
Just like the charcoal briquettes, you know. Yeah, like
a plastic bag you rip it open to hidden match on it and the
things up in like a torch.
I think you don't have to do that. It's kind of like a flare
just kind of rub the flag together and just just goes,
they do always burn really well. So anyway, there is a history
lesson taking place because obviously we have to teach our
slaves and our slaves of course to the young kids exactly how it
all fits together. Now what is the best way to teach the slaves
a little history lesson? There's only one place you want to do
that. And that would be in a video game. So before we get to
our segment where we thank people for supporting the show I
would like to play for you the intro if you didn't. I know
you've played some Xbox games and stuff, John. Usually for
these shoot 'em up games, they have like a little intro movie.
Right? That kind of sets the stage for you. Sometimes you
can't even start the game without having watched that at
least once and then you can kind of skip past it. This is the new
game Operation Flashpoint Red River. And this is a history
lesson. And this is how our kids are learning about what's
happening in the world.
Oh, by the way, and not safe for children, but this is what your
children are watching anyway, so you might as well get used to
it.
Ronald Reagan 40th President of the United States. Reagan had to
deal with all this same stuff in the 80s surgeons trying to
overthrow their governments. Back then the Afghans would cry
into the Russians for health effects. Is Mrs. Reagan off so
much is boys with Operation cyclo and use the CIA to arm and
train the Bucha huggy. One of the CIA trained badass Lawrence
of Arabia sob who kicked the Russians outside of Afghanistan
ends up being Osama bin Laden. Oh, no. True story. So the
movies kick Russia's red X across the sand. The entire
Russian economy collapses and goodbye, USSR. Now America has
no more bad guys to fight.
Go America.
But in the meantime, Osama and his now well armed al Qaeda
brothers start screwing with everybody. Egypt, Algeria,
Ellie's blown up half the Middle Eastern government's trying to
create a unified Muslim country. But here's the thing. The people
don't want it. Why don't they like their lives how they work,
so he deems a more viable target. He started blowing up
his own fucking people, man that's why they're called
terrorists Duisburg. Bush Senior becomes President 41 Before we
know it, he's balls deep in Kuwait. byton Saddam for the
Saudis. This pisses Osama off so much he starts mouthing off
about Saudi Arabia. So the Saudis vanishes now the dudes
living in a cave in the hills of Afghanistan and he's like Screw
this noise and calls down a jihad on all Americans. So it's
Antoine America and our allies. What happened
This is the worst thing I've ever heard. Where'd you get this
again?
This is from the new video game Operation Flashpoint Red River
Wow. They throw in a kind of a bastard way you know it's
moderately accurate but it's it's obviously riddled with
inconsistencies propaganda and god knows what else and it says
to kids that this is like the prelude so you have to listen
all this garbage before you play the game.
Yeah, and the part that we just didn't get to right now is so
now where we're going is to go kick the ETI EMS ass you know,
the ETI M is what? The East Turkistan Islamic movement and
that's who they're gonna go fight in Operation Flashpoint.

Morning John and Adam. My name is dhara my brother Stuart and I
are donating 6150 In honor of our dad Robert gold's birthday
on April 23 61 for his age and 54 His birth year Hello. And we
realized that if we both donated it added up to 100 123 we know
how much you like fun numbers, tricks, so we had to donate. No
agenda is a family affair. We are all Minutemen and it would
be great if Adam could Oh, no. They won't make single and just
read. I could just read ahead like a pro. I wouldn't have read
this sentence. It would be great if Adam could sing along with
the jingle for our dad's birthday. That'd be nice. I look
forward to that and keep up the awesome work. Sign Daraa as

B, we can talk about whatever we want to talk about. Just imagine
the things we could not talk about. And by the way, if you
see on television, if you see a commercial for like GE or
Boeing. That's not to sell anyone a product that is a
payoff for that station to go along with their agenda. If
you've ever wondered why you're watching, or even even on
national treasure, when you hear like at Boeing, we're you know,
we're doing great things GE we bring good things to life. It's
not to make you go out and buy a GE light bulb or only fly on a
jet with a GE engine. It's a payoff it's a paid off to the
corporate media. And you've got to realize that
it's part of the corrupt system. Thank you. Our system is not so

sing along with the jingles. That was pretty tight.
Yeah, it wasn't bad. It's good. We're very professional.
So I saw you got you You got to the same clips I did. And I
think we should talk about Lucy Napoletana about the new alert
system. And it looks like you have you've split it up nicely
into multiple clips. So I'd like to hand the floor over to you.
Well, a couple of things. First of all, I want to back to the
kind of the backstory where I got even into this. My wife is
just completely incensed because of a couple of stories that ran
into bigger newspapers about how Lucy wants people to use
Facebook and Twitter. Yeah. To receive the
alerts. Yeah, of course. Because that can be trusted.
Well, Facebook, of course, because these apparently there's
gonna be some deal. I guess. When Obama gets out of office,
he'll be probably I get here's your here's prediction. Write it
down. Yeah. When Obama is no longer president, he will be a
board member at Facebook. Oh, absolutely. If the company still
exists, which is a good question. Yeah, it is. But
that's but that's the lineup. He's going to be a director or a
board member at Facebook. So okay, I have it's tit for tat. I
have the one that this is losing Apollo, tonto. She shows up on
O'Reilly, which I thought was interesting. And so she gets
grilled about something and this is where she's, instead of
answering it is saying this she started telling me her bio. And
by the way, she always preface it with look, which she likes to
do which which clippers is gonna this is the was great. She is
clip.
Oh, hold on a second. I'm sorry. I actually queued up my clip by
mistake. Here we go.
We have been burglarized twice. ranchers in the border area
cannot leave their houses unguarded for a few hours since
their homes are likely to be broken. This is not Lucy.
This is the preface to the O'Reilly asking Lucia hard
question.
And two. If someone is not there, we live with weapons near
bed. All right. Joining us now from Washington homeland
security chief Janet Napolitano. So your former governor of
Arizona, I'm sure you feel this guy's pain. So what do you say
to him?
Well, I say look, I'm not only the former governor of Arizona,
I'm the former attorney general of Arizona, and
I'm also a lawyer
on TV and US Attorney for Arizona. So I know this border
very, very well. And there has never been more resources at the
Arizona border to protect it than ever before. And more is on
its way.
And I lose you John. Yeah, that's weird. You know, you
don't want to mess with Janet. That's, that's one thing. That's
for sure. That's quite annoying. We're still streaming? I don't
know. I think John's connection is wonky today. So we'll see if
we can get him back on in a second.
That we were dropped.
I want to meet Well, you know why? Why do you don't mess with
Lucy? Dude.
46 minutes were dropped the first time. How many times? How
much? How long were we on before we dropped this time? 4046
minutes? Six
minutes? Yes, you're right. I'm looking at the call log.
You're on a timer.
I'm not on the timer.
Well, maybe I'm on a time. Maybe you
are. It's that new Skype interface, which rocked so hard.
And they'd been on for 46 minutes. Kill it. All right.
Next. Okay. So, so Lucy goes on, she tries to answer this is an
example of her answering the question. I do have one clip for
the non color scheme thing, but you probably have a different
one. But let's play the hedges clip.
Oh, I'm sorry. I had the non call. Here
we go hedges waiting down there. You guys, you're gonna tell that
rancher look, we're winning this war against the Mexican
intrusion of narcotics and human trafficking. We're winning it.
So you just hold on a little bit down there. Keep your shotgun
handy, but things are gonna get better. Is that what you're
gonna?
What I would say is not only are we putting more into that
border, but that more is on its way. And we are very committed
to a safe and secure border for a lot of reasons. Yeah, Mar
is on its way. Don't you weary? No, I
had to say she won't answer the question.
Of course not. By the way, if you notice that winning the
future has been dropped. That slogan didn't go anywhere. They
stop using that everywhere.
You notice that? No, I didn't notice it. But it doesn't
surprise me. So I
actually got the announcement of the new terror alert codes. And
you must take a look at this video which will be linked in
the show notes. Of course, probably under Shut up slave as
she actually achieved like, you're like we're school
children. She's got this big easel and she's pointing out
this is how it's going to work children. This is how it's going
to work. When you hear something this is what you do. And this is
how we're going to arrange it and I'm in charge of everything
are instituting the national terrorism advisory system. And
what this system does is it will provide alerts based on specific
credible information about potential terrorist activity.
And the alerts will be in the format right here. They will
give you a summary. They will give summary view as many
details as we can provide in an unclassified form
anything that's unclassified anything,
which means nothing. No detail. You don't need to know anything
we didn't tell you we're gonna give you information.
They will say how you can help what you need to do to stay
prepared, what you do what you need to do to stay informed.
Accompanying the alerts will be an entire communication
strategy, which involves conventional media as well as
the new social media,
the new social media as you know, the Facebook's and the
Twitter's
and a new website page.
Oh, they've got a new website page million bucks down the
drain website page
dhs.gov/alert
Why not just like alerts.gov You know, it's like stupid who do
why not alerts dot good idea because it's like.gov domain,
they can make anything up that they want,
because it's branding she wants a good part of DHS is branding
for us. It's all for us branding
dhs.gov/alert which will be continually updated so that
people can find out new information.
You just have to hit refresh all the time. She neglects to tell
you that. Hit refresh.
Say goodbye to orange,
let's say goodbye to orange.
Now do you wait to perpetual orange that we've been in the
last 10 years that has never changed? At the Oakland airport
they actually made a permanent poster that was orange has say
goodbye to orange shade
next week. And then in its place will be something that provides
the citizenry of this country citizenry
citizenry what is citizenry? I don't know that's a bullcrap
word citizenry. How about the people, the folks citizenry
really Janet Lucy,
with more information that they can use in the event of a
specific credible threat or terrorist attack. The alerts
will expire of their own in two weeks. Unless the intelligence
community recommends to the Secretary that would be me, that
would
be me. I'm in charge here. Hello, step back. Unless the
intelligence community comes to me, Lucy, me, me. That's me. Did
you know that I'm the secretary?
That's horrible. She's a horrible woman.
I agree that the alert
by the way, what is that green jacket she's wearing an
outrageously hideous piece of clothing
because that's the same jacket she was wearing on O'Reilly
It's a new thing. It's like you know, someone said, you know,
your eyes really pop when you're wearing not
needs to be continued. This is to avoid the problem of
cascading alerts where they simply keep adding one on to the
other to the other to the other. And people don't know really
what what is the current one? What do I need to be paying
attention to
right? So I'm taking this somewhere, John, these are not
just random clips, because then she shows up on Morning Joe,
because you know, she's got to propagate the message here.
shows up on Morning Joe with which is a completely 100%.
compromised, Gitmo nation, New World Order she'll show and and
they start questioning her about the pat down of the six year
old. And of course, the solution is what she's there to bring the
solution so we can stop with these horrible horrible Yes,
really, of course, protocol was followed and was all done. And
we've all seen the video. What protocol is that to feel up a
six year old girl? What kind of protocol is that? Yeah, it's
Lucy's protocol for sure all the time about balancing security
with personal freedom. I mean, nobody likes to see this little
girl being patted down. Although it was done in a perfect fell up
just say what it is not patted down felt up Chanel way we
should say but still, and you see old ladies and wheelchairs
being patted down. We still have to take off our shoes all these
years, years later, how much do you think about and talk about
balancing freedom with security? Well,
nobody likes to see those kinds of things. And
I beg to differ. I have a feeling you might like to see
that join in
that even though it was done professionally and according to
the protocols, but
he blanked. Yeah, even though it was done professionally and
according to the protocols
to what to fill up a six year old. Yeah, professionally,
and according to the protocols, we've all seen the video people
that has nothing to do with professionals or protocol, that
was Gitmo nation plus plus plus, that was horrible disgusting.
What do we call her out? She says,
Oh no, no, it gets worse you
say is doing is reexamining those protocols all the time.
And it's all in relation to threat what's what is the threat
and one of the things was
a six year old. That little six year old is gonna kill us all.
That's right. You got to keep an eye on those damn six year olds
they're a threat
is if you categorically remove a group from any type of
screening, or those who seek to do us harm then exploit That
crew
that's what they're gonna know listen to six flight a little
girl now listen because the big lies are about to hit you.
So you have to be very careful on how you do and
by the way remind Americans why we now check our liquids
now. Let's remind Americans
what let's this guy asks a leading question about the
stupidest thing ever, which was the over the eavesdropping on a
conversation between two Arab boneheads who talked about
liquid bombs. They didn't know crap about anything. And now we
can't bring any water on the plane.
I'm sorry, John, you're wrong. That is not the reason why you
are wrong. The real reason is about to be revealed.
It's because a mother was taking her baby on a plane and Britain
and was willing to blow up the baby and the entire plane.
What, what, uh, when When did this happen? What
what are they changing history? Are they correct? What didn't
and then nobody will be another God. I never watch this show.
I'm never this show is terrible. And the other guy who should be
ashamed of themselves
because the guy goes That's right. That's right. That's
right. That's right.
And we all know when this happened. It was with a liquid
bomb jerk offs, who were in London talking about building a
liquid bomb. And the next thing you know, they're checking
liquids by the way, we're in this this story. For one we're
all acquitted. They were all they were. Oh yeah. Cuz it was
bullcrap. But when did this story crop up and now become the
litany? When did this thing become the canonical story as to
why we go into into liquids and throw away the water bottles? It
makes you kind of angry, doesn't it here this is ridiculous.
These people should this morning, Joe guy, this whole
group should be ashamed of themselves. They should. How do
they sleep at night with this out and out lying to the public?
Who does this show who produces Morning Joe?
I don't know. But it's the former congressman. I think
Chuck Nona Chuck Scarborough, what's his name? Dan, Dan
Scarborough.
NBC all one of my thinking MSNBC the Great, the great objective.
Oh, man, that's disgusting. It gets better.
It gets better. By the way, the how they sleep at night is you
know, someone turns a switch off in the Pentagon. And they just
fall asleep. It's very simple. Roll up
the baby and the entire play. That's right with the liquids,
right. So that's and
she says it too. That's right. That's right. That's right.
That's right. That's right. So
you're exactly right. When we say we're not going to screen
six year old Seminole kids, and I'm not for it, nobody's for it.
Right. But then suddenly, for some crazed parent,
you crazy parent. Now it's parents who are crazy raise
parents raise parents, unless of course you got your kid on a
leash, then you're all under control,
then open up weakness in the system. So
here's a couple of things
that we're working. Okay. Now, here's a couple things. Now,
here's a couple of things that we're working on. And this is a
solution to overhang.
Number one is expanding trusted traveler programs.
What does that sound like to you, John? trusted traveler
programs. What does that sound like?
Well, it sounds like one way of collecting more money for one
thing because it's gonna cost you to join. It's the mark
of the beast man. Here it comes programs where
people will get biometric cards,
biometric card, this
is what I've always wanted. I'm Lucy, I'm going to give you a
biometric code,
we have to have a tattoo
inside your lip. Anyway, so lips, so that goes that goes on.
And that just makes you want to puke. But something interesting
happened. I was watching C span. And for those of you who are new
to the program,
what we do is you don't have to see
two and a half hours of testimony about the TSA who are
requesting a billion dollars, a billion dollars for new stuff.
And the the crazy thing is that there's a two and a half hour
test, you know, congressional hearing. And I'm going to play a
clip from representative Brown from Georgia who is a kind of a
bumbling bonehead. But I'm not I want to keep a surprise about
who was there to testify in what they said and what actually
happened. And he's not pleased with it either.
Today the subcommittee meets to evaluate TSA spot program
develop Yeah, this is it's the
spot program where they have all these multiple layers and and
scientifically they can prove by your behavior that you're evil.
For instance, you might be having you're carrying a baby
with a bottle then you know, you're suspect because you're
probably going to blow the kid up. Because you know, you're
crazy parent in
the wake of September 11 2001. It was deployed on a limited
basis in a select number of airports into 1003 in 2007, TSA
created new behavioral detection officer of the D O positions
whose goal was to use behavioral indicators to identify persons
who may pose a potential security risk to aviation. This
goal expanded in recent years to include the identification of
any criminal activity. TSA currently employs about 3000
videos in about 161 airports,
by the way, I love that 3000 and 161 airports how many of these
guys are there? For airport
sounds like a lot to like 20
at the cost of over $200 million a year. The President's fiscal
year 12 budget requests asked for an increase of 9.5% an
additional 175 videos over the next five years the spot program
will cost roughly $1.2 billion outside of a few brief exchanges
that appropriations committee hearings, Congress has not
evaluated this program.
So that's interesting. They have not evaluated the program. Now
remember, John, you had that clip, where essentially, the
congressman couldn't talk about the confidential report because
the stuff doesn't work. And he was trying to let everyone know
that which of course, CNN and Fox and MSNBC and everyone
pulled up immediately and made headline news. Oh, I'm sorry,
they didn't
that isn't to say that Congress wasn't paying attention. is Gao
conducted a comprehensive review that culminated in a report on
the spot program last May. In that report, Gao identified
several problems with the program, most notably, most
notably that it was deployed without being scientifically
validated. This is a common theme that this committee is
increasingly forced to deal with expensive programs are rolled
out without conducting the necessary analysis. This has
become a trend throughout the federal government, but
particularly at the Department of Homeland Security.
Okay, so basically, he's attacking Department of Homeland
Security.
This committee has a long history with the development
acquisition of the advanced spectroscopic spectra Scott as a
southern as hard to say spectroscopic portal program,
but other technology programs such as backscatter advanced
imaging technology, explosive trace detection portal machines,
and the cargo advanced automated radiography system all ran into
problems because they were rolled out before they were
ready.
Well, isn't that interesting? Where did you hear about this?
Was this on the news, John, that this stuff was
on Morning, Joe? Joe. Now, of course, you'd
expect the TSA to come to this congressional hearing, and to
defend themselves against you know, this, this this accusation
accusation
that the puffer machines that were did cost millions of
dollars were all taken out hundreds of millions of dollars
and millions are for the puffer machine that didn't work the
bank doesn't. That doesn't work. Yeah. That's what they said in
the congressional testimony doesn't work. And you heard him
say the dangerous.
DHS either fails to properly test and evaluate the
technology.
And it's from a GAO report. This is like, this is a real report.
There's not John and Adam, just saying done work,
does not conduct a proper risk analysis, or neglects to conduct
a cost benefit analysis.
Yeah, like the basic things that government is supposed to do.
A crucial as you're playing, if not, they give you a blank
check. Yeah,
that's all they want. But But I think they should
come in the fact that is often times taken for granted by DHS,
is the nexus between those developing the technology and
those actually using it. In the case of spot, it seems as though
the operators got out ahead of the developers. But typically
what we see is the opposite the scientist and then engineers
developing capabilities that do not appropriately fit into an
operational environment. Unfortunately, this is an issue
that this that the committee is unable to dress today because of
TSA is refusal to attend
they just said we're not going to come finally I was waiting
for this because when I went I had the clip from the guys that
showing that the he wasn't going to vote for the budget for the
TSA because this gear doesn't work under the secret you know,
the secret GA classified report, which says it doesn't work.
They've said he said well, you come back for more testimony
that was like they were wrapping it up. Oh, yeah, we'll be back
no problem. Yeah, well here so apparently, they decided
somebody said, Hey, you guys are getting reamed by these guys.
Tell them to screw themselves tell Congress to stuff it. We're
not showing up.
The goal of this hearing is to shed light on the processes by
which DHS crew at this spot program to better understand the
state of the science that forms the foundation of the program,
they examine the methodologies by which dhs s&t is evaluating
the program and identify any opportunities to improve how
behavioral sciences are utilized in the security context.
And that sounds like a shitty meeting, let's not go. And they
didn't go. So there's two and a half hours of questioning and
they have a spot open with a little sign that says TSA, you
know, the little name placard and no name because of course,
there's there's no one there.
So they don't Did you know that these congressmen which have all
this data, instead of being you know, instead of being the wimps
that they apparently are both parties? Why don't they do a
contempt of Congress of accusation? Are they you can
file against these people? You can actually, you can subpoena
them. There's all kinds of powers that Congress has that
they're afraid to use because they haven't got the nerve to do
anything. Or they're going to or they know what's going to
happen. They're gonna get killed on the secret police. No,
they're not gonna get on an airplane ever again. That's
right. It's what happened to Joe Ted Kennedy. Today of all the
people in the world that you know, that recognizable guy Ted
Kennedy said something bad about what was going on during the
Bush administration. Next thing you know, he's on the no fly
list. Excuse me. Yep. But meanwhile, morning, Joe, they're
all for all this stuff is great. Good.
Morning, Joe. We're rockin and rollin. We have
the news. We have a new scenario a woman who's going to kill her
baby with a bottle of liquid explosives. Okay, we'll use that
phrase parents John raised parent crazy.
And we all know that's how that's why we have to do that.
Because it was a crazy parent who had no qualms about blowing
up her baby with formula in the in the bottle. That's right.
lowson formula. That's right. That's right. That's right.
All right. Well, we're doomed on it on the secret if Congress
can't do anything, what we're not going to do anything that's
for sure. The whole thing it's already used a lost cause
they're gonna make up stories as they go along. They don't care
about the public and they're gonna be feeling up that little
six year olds and unless they use local the governments in the
various states are do some pass some laws that make this illegal
there just going to be a bunch of pedophiles let's face it.
Yeah. Precisely.
And now back to this Justin everybody Charles Manson is
crazy.
That's all the news for today.
And you know the joke of the Charles Manson Story Of course
this is he's come out against you know, he's a big parently a
warmest
Yeah, he says we're gonna die of global warming. Yeah, he's the
expert Yeah.
Yeah, that's great a couple of women but then he also says
Obama is a robot which is kind of funny well as
a possibility Yeah. So that's what that thing in the back of
his head is maybe so I have a couple of funny weird stories
Yeah, good. One of them is like I am now going to have to
rethink my you know the all the air traffic controllers stories
Oh, can I
just tell you what that's about do you want you want my oh five
wants you to go operate what I'm the clip I want. Okay, good.
Good. Good. Good with that and see if you can figure it out.
This is the sleeping story with a twist. Yeah,
I've been wanting to talk about this
store disturbing story from a couple of years ago is making
news now and amber alert in Washington State was delayed for
about six hours because the police officer responsible for
issuing the alert fell asleep. According to recently filed
court documents on July 5 of 2007 and Detective called the
Tacoma police spokesman at 4am to issue an alert for an
abducted 12 year old girl but he had taken sleeping medication
before going to bed and fell asleep before sending out the
alert, which ended up being delayed for about 12 hours. The
girl was found dead a couple of days later. The family is now
suing the city for wrongful death.
Hmm, okay, that's that throws a little curveball at me. Why
did the meet you because it's like another anti, you know, the
sleeping on the jobs theme. I think what this
so I think that's just the A minor distraction of news piling
on. Because I believe that when it comes to the the air traffic
controllers, there's something different happening. And I'm
going to spend some time before Sunday show trying to figure out
who the PR agency is because these are all PR jobs. And what
has been going on for a while in aviation. And this is part of
the military industrial complex. They've been wanting to
implement the next generation of navigation and the next
generation is essentially where everything's controlled by a
computer. And you really don't need these air traffic
controllers, which, by the way is a lie, because air traffic
control and there's always a healthy kind of friction between
pilots and air traffic controllers, because pilots
don't know that, hey, you know, let me just swing around or
bring it in this way. And then these people do on a computer
can't do that. No, and these people keep you alive. And they
keep everybody alive. And they like everything. Yeah, stuff
goes wrong. Yeah. And people mess up and stuff happens. They
are overworked. You know, they get this like nine hour break
between shifts. But of course, that starts the minute you leave
the door. So and by the way, air traffic controllers are not
allowed to sleep in their car. So if you leave, and you're
like, Oh, I just want to like catch an hour in the car. But in
the parking lot, they can get fined for that. So they have to
actually drive home. So you're gonna have like an hour drive
home, you got to talk to the kids talk to the wife have a
shower, you know, so you're still sleeping six hours before
you gotta be back on the job. So it's a challenging job. They
have been trying to implement this multibillion dollar system
for years. And this is the play. Like we can't trust the humans.
And I'm not quite sure who makes the system. It should be it's
probably Raytheon or something like that. And I think that this
sleeping on the job thing is just a pylon into it. Yeah,
either that or it's a part of the narcolepsy narcolepsy meme.
Maybe the guy got the flu shot.
Well, it's it's I noticed that I'm starting to see this kind of
thing. I have another kind of off Bianca offbeat real news
things here. Well, there's this thing.
And now back to real we got to get back to it back to the Real
News extract. See
there? There was the kind of weathers I gotta cut. Well, let
me play this is the weirdest story I for one thing, I don't
imagine how the woman felt there was a some sexual assaults going
on in Oakland. And and then they give this report this weird
sexual assault story. And it's like, it's kind of humiliating
to the woman but at the same time as a crime committed, and I
have nothing but mixed feelings about it. But at the same time I
it it just just I thought it was one of the weirdest stories ever
reported in classic stuff you hear in the early six o'clock in
the morning news
yesterday afternoon. Investigators say a man followed
a woman from a neighborhood store all the way into the gates
of her home that he ordered her to take off her clothes, but he
ran away. Police only have a vague description of the
attacker still not clear if that incident is connected to a
series of sexual assaults near Lake Merritt earlier this year.
What is
the sexual assault though? In this?
I don't know what it is. But the fact is, he has a strip and then
he says I'm not interested in runs. I mean, I just thought
this was it was the weirdest it's like, okay, it's all weird.
Yeah, three breasts, or I mean, that little details wouldn't
wouldn't hurt but that's very weird. I thought was very weird
that the other one as I was watching this morning, and it is
a six in the morning stuff again. And there was this, this
crazy report, this guy is doing the doing the traffic report.
This is mainstream media and think why are they paying
somebody for this road? Right? This is a road traffic report.
And why are they paying somebody for this kind of insight?
Apparently somebody would. It would play it and you'll see
what I'm talking about.
All right, thank you very much. Right now traffic is busy in
many areas. Got a couple of tweets saying why is one on one
so slog right, I'll explain that in just a second. I got a couple
of tweets saying why is one on one out of San Jose so slow? The
answer is we had earlier problems getting into the
valley. And there it is. 101 pretty silly. See all those road
sensors turning red.
You know, it's funny because Mickey and I will watch the KTLA
morning news it was we have our breakfast, and they show that
map and it's got arrows and circles and, and dots and moving
things. And if she's a real map reader, and she's like, I don't
understand anything. I said mean either I don't get it. It's just
like pretty colors just to keep you distracted.
And if somebody says what why is the traffic so slow? He said,
Well, there were earlier problems. Yeah, what were they
there obviously are problems. Because there were problems what
problems you think there was paying this guy a salary to give
this kind of report whatever your problems. I was very
annoyed by that. I got
something that says a follow on from our last show. And this is
about high fructose corn syrup being equated to sugar. So you
remember that the New York Times I think it was propagated this
report where they're saying sugar is bad sugar will kill
you. And there's no difference between high fructose corn syrup
and sugar because it's sugar. So I think you and I agree that
this is basically this report is very much like the disclaimers
on medication. It's intended to get you to think about high
fructose corn syrup as sugar and just say shrug it off saying,
you know it's sugar. It's going to kill me but I like it. It's
sugar and just forget the fact that sugar is not the same as
how I fructose corn syrup. Is that a fair assessment?
Well, that and the fact that I believe it's part of a plan to
slowly re label high fructose corn syrup syrup into the word
sugar. So why? Because they've already moved to corn sugar to
describe this stuff. Well, we're
about to make the final move. This is Max. Max read I think.
Here is the scientist explaining to us that it is sugar. He is
leading the charge for the relabeling of high fructose corn
syrup as sugar and what he says is outrageous the same.
And here's sucrose, and they're just bound together by this
ether linkage. We have this enzyme in our gut called
sucrose. It kills it kills that bond in two seconds flat Can you
absorb it and basically high fructose corn syrup sucrose,
it's a non issue. It's a wash, they're the same. And they know
that it's it's the that they're the same, the the soft drink
companies and the Corn Refiners because here are their misses.
Okay, this comes from the Corn Refiners Association. Obesity
Research shows high fructose corn syrup metabolizes and
impacts satiety, similar to sugar indeed, it says. I agree.
You know, decent, you know, meetings, you know, academic
meetings around the country, hunger and satiety profiles,
energy intakes following ingestion of soft drinks bottom
line research supported by the American Beverage Institute and
the Corn Refiners Association. They are correct, there is
absolutely no difference between high fructose corn syrup and
sucrose. So much so that the Corn Refiners Association in an
attempt to capture market share came out with this entire ad
campaign, you probably saw it on the back page of the New York
Times cake was on TV, it's everywhere. My hairdresser says
that sugar is healthier than high fructose corn syrup while
you get your hair done by a doctor. I didn't know I could
cut hair. Oh,
he's an ask them
their whole bunch of you can go to www dot sweet surprise.com
and see how you're being hoodwinked. But indeed, this is
true. High fructose corn syrup and sucrose are exactly the
same. Whoa,
whoa. So this is happening at decent meetings all around the
country with no real scientists is that this
is the PR people.
And they're good because this is exactly
the same really exactly the same as that why you can't use high
fructose corn syrup when you're making chocolate because the
chocolate will never harden because they're exactly the same
as that right? I didn't realize that that's interesting, because
it seems to me the chocolate would harden if they're exactly
the same. It's and the thing is, why would you demean the the the
hairdresser or whatever. Now she's suddenly a doctor. The
doctor doctor does isn't a chemist, he doesn't know the
bond mitten issues with high fructose corn syrup or how its
manufactured the doctors no expert on the subject do so what
difference does it make if she's a doctor or not? Anyway, this is
ridiculous. This guy is a paid shill who should be ashamed of
himself.
It's a part of evidence based communications. This is exactly
what it is they pay for this research. He goes in this whole
thing and shows all the little molecules and stuff and says
it's exactly the same. It's this is a reverse PR mission that
gets everyone to think because no one's gonna give up sugar
how's it a reverse PR mission still looks like a
straightforward
because he's saying high fructose corn syrup will kill
you just as fast as sugar that's what
it's just a man I don't think it's a reverse anything I think
that just the methodology they're using that's the message
they're trying to consolidate the you know they're trying to
get you in people's minds are trying to make the two things
into the sandwich is straightforward PR process is
not like they're trying to well that's
what I mean. But that's essentially what I mean is like
by using a negative they're implanting the true message into
your brain that's that's a little more fair.
I'm surprised you even think it's the negative thing that
they're trying to do. I think they're just trying they're
pushing the same agenda that the PR people have done with this
with a corn just a corn guys yeah, they're looking for more
corn holes are in holes they've decided that you know they gotta
get this stuff into the market they got because they're getting
huge government subsidies to grow the corn they make this a
pure profit item it's made in a refinery and stuff is probably I
mean every time we bad study comes out they shouted down this
is kind of very much like the warming good. The warmth is
shouting down anyone who says anything negative about global
warming. This doesn't look right this this discharge is bogus.
These numbers don't aren't don't add up. Oh, no, you're the worst
person in the world. You know, so they had all the you know,
the you have the same thing going on. It's just ridiculous.
I have one more funny clip, which is an act Rule journalist
doing his job. Now, you know, I'm gonna do that as an end of
show clip because it's it's hilarious. It's state
spokeperson Mark Toner, who was trying to explain why he can't
talk about the reason that a United Nations envoy cannot
speak to Bradley Manning. This is the guy who supposedly leaked
the information to WikiLeaks. Yet at the same time, he's
saying, you know, we're part of the most transparent government
in history, but I can't tell you why he can't see them. And the
reporter is relentless. You want that as the end of show clip,
just as fun. Yeah,
that would be a good one to finish with. Yeah, I got
nothing.
You've had nothing all day, honey.
I had great stuff. I got the Obama car. Come on,
come on the clutch car rocks. In fact, I might open the show with
that. So everyone can just be in bouts of laughter they
still use such a thing in areas that they exist.
The clutch car everybody.
And the Samba is not far off from being a clutch car.
Actually. I'll be honest about that. Stick stick, isn't it? No,
it's automatic. but barely. Coming up. We have Mr. Oil with
oils crude show on the stream, no agenda stream.com And I show
less sound the alert. The special, I gotta figure out how
to do it. This special, bad signal for that show. And I'm
gonna go back to bed because I am feeling pretty crappy but it
was always good to speak with you John and to go Tete a Tete.
As it were
coming to you from Gitmo nation West, the People's Republic of
Southern California. Yay. My name is Adam curry
and from Northern Silicon Valley where the sun is popped out
after a little sprinkles last night is the dough anyone cares
about my weather report? I'm John C. Dvorak.
I care. We'll talk to you again on Easter Sunday, right here on
no agenda.
Can you explain why if the United States is proud of its
human rights record that the UN Special Rapporteur tour has
complained that you're not allowing him independent access
to Bradley Manning?
We we've been in contact with the UN Special Rapporteur, we've
had conversations with you in terms of access to sorry. We've,
we've, we've had conversations with with the special repart
tour. We've discussed Bradley Manning's case with him. But in
terms of visits to PFC Manning, that's something for the for the
department of
the ICRC with the same problem. You're the State Department is
the direct contact with the ICRC at least it was for the
Guantanamo inmates. Have you had any contact with them?
I'm not aware. I don't know. I'd have to look into that. But you
know, in terms of the UN Special Rapporteur, we've had
conversations with him. We have ongoing conversations with him.
But in terms of access, demanding that's that's
something for the Department of Defense,
welcome scrutiny, where's the harm?
I said we were having conversations with him. We're
trying to work with them to meet his needs. But I don't
understand the question,
what you said you welcome the scrutiny from outsiders like the
United States human rights record, they do you feel that it
speaks to the strength of the US system. So you know, why does it
take very lengthy conversations to agree to let a UN Special
Rapporteur have access to an inmate?
Well, again, I for this specific visitation request, that's
something that Department of Defense would best answer. But
look, we've been very clear that there's a legal process
underway. We've been forthright, I think in talking about private
PFC Manning says situation. We are in conversations ongoing
conversations with the special reportorial, we have nothing to
hide. But but in terms of an actual visit to Manning that's
something that that DOD would hear
what you have you you have conveyed messages from DOD back
to the UN.
Well, no, we just were, look, we're aware of his requests.
We're working with him.
Can you tell you've been forthright in your in your
discussions of his treatment? It seems to me that the only person
who was forthright in discussions of his treatment
resigned several days after making those comments What can
you explain what you mean by the you've been forthright in terms
of his treatment?
He Is he is he has been held in legal detention. There's a legal
process under way. So I'm not going to discuss In any more
detail than what I've been on what I've just said, because
that's a process underway.
So so that's what you
said, right?
I can't discuss as forthright as saying nothing because there's a
legal process underway, is that correct?
That's not correct at all. And we've, we've, we've, we continue
to talk to the special rapper tour about his case,
well, okay, so if you've been taught, what do you talk to him
about? He says, I'd like to, I'd like to visit him and privately
and you
say, the substance of those conversations, so just say we
understand how you can say that you're being forthright about it
if you if you refuse to talk about it. And if you don't talk
about it, at least forget about the actual conditions of this
treatment are. But if you're not prepared to talk about your
conversations with with a special rep, our tour that's
being even less than not being forthright, because you're not
telling us what you told him that you understand
the legal constraints that I'm operating under, because this is
an ongoing legal process was being held.
I understand that you're put in a difficult position where you
say that you're willing as Arshad noted, when the case do
you understand why China is so upset because the US is willing
to open up its human rights situation to all kinds of summat
and then the first example but anyone raised him
that I would I would raise with you the fact that you know, much
of China's report came from open source which is, which is what
an independent media does, and and would note that, you know,
that that kind of independent media does serve a function and
there are details about about Manning case another human
rights concerns out there, but I'm not going to talk about it
here.
