Adam curry, John C. Dvorak. Good Sunday June 5 2011. Time forget
my nation media assassination episode 310.
This is no agenda.
On casting live from the pre Hot Pockets get donation to our 2008
mobile studio currently docked in Borrego Springs and get more
nation West. The People's Republic of Southern California.
Yay. In the morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry. Hello,
Ali. Where it's it is what it is. I'm Dwight what happened?
Just who are you?
I'm John C. Dvorak.
Buzzkill.
I'm sorry. We all mess it up in the early on in the show.
It was to do wrong I do everything. Yeah, just every day
different buttons. You got new buttons? Yeah, I
do. So here's what I realized. When you do it right. So by the
way in the morning, everybody
in the morning to you Adam, and in the morning all ships at sea
boots on the ground and Laura's Whitman.
Lois Whitman indeed in the morning to you Lois now so right
now we are in the Hot Pockets mobile. As Miss Mickey and I are
doing a pre test of our Gitmo nation Hot Pockets tour across
America 2008. We are docked in Borrego Springs, California in
the desert. It's a very warm right now. And so we've been on
the road for three days, and you learn a lot about what you
forget. And so, let me work backwards from what I forgot. So
I have the new mobile setup. It's the first time we're ever
trying it. So far, knock on knock on wood. So far, so good.
Knock on vinyl. And
indeed the whole thing is carbon fiber, plastic, whatever it is.
So I have the you know, dual monitors, I've got the jingle
machines. That thing all works. Everything's perfect. I also
have the the control board for how to do the faders except I
forgot that with the new setup. I have like a little external
Behringer, external audio device. That's how actually
getting everything to you and making Skype work. But I didn't
have an extra USB port to plug in the control panel. And of
course, I neglected to bring along my USB hub to hub Yeah,
yeah. So so I got to control the controls manually. And I patted
you down. I'm so sorry.
So when I was yakking nothing was coming through
man. Very soft. Hi, I'm John. It was there. It was just very
quiet. You always say seeking me low. You're very low indeed. So
yeah, so we're on the road. We're rocking and rolling.
Sounds
like auspicious beginning. So when you're leaving for real,
mid July, I don't think we've actually pegged the date yet,
but Mickey celebrates her birthday on July 8. We have a
big party on the ninth. I think you're invited.
Did you get an invite? No. Yeah, then you're not invited.
Okay. It's my daughter's birthday is on the 11th
party the other night at this party? Yeah, yeah, your
daughter's on the 11th Well, you could make it back. So we'd
celebrate on the ninth us sleep off the hangover on the 10th and
then then you're back on the 11th No problem. So we then you
leave and then a couple days later we'll leave
so yeah, get your your flights you gotta get some flights and
then you gotta load everything into into luggage and boxes and
then you have to hope that those things show up at the other end
of the of the flight.
Now you know why we call them the buzzkill ladies and
gentlemen Yeah, so we have Baroness Maggie Vincent of
Virginia of course has kindly offered us so her her four winds
are what if
you go there and find it to her address is just an empty lot.
She doesn't really exist.
Well, we'll figure it out. Why don't we I mean, there's a lot
of stuff that when you do a trip like this is a lot of
just throw wet blankets on things but
we're actually we're actually sending a box of stuff ahead.
And
there you go now you're thinking yeah,
so there may just be a boss and find out that this stuff has
been sold and she doesn't really exist. Yeah, I don't know John,
why don't you tell me Mr. No at all Mr. Smarty Pants. So we made
a list of this is really good that we're doing this we made a
list of things. I think it's a
great idea. It's like that big where the guy gets into cabbage,
New York, he throws all this stuff in the trunk and the guy
takes off.
Yeah, yo yo mas cello. No, so So this is a great trip because we
you know we've Um, we've already figured out a lot of things that
we need to bring one of which would be a fan for the mobile
studio since I can't have the air conditioner on the air
conditioner sounds like I'm in a in the engine room of a boat. So
I can't have that running while we're doing the show.
Interesting
point. Yeah, yeah. And of course, good. But this is good
that you take a shakedown cruise. Yeah.
Another thing that will be really good to bring along is a
corkscrew. I would hope. Yeah, we're up. So we're the first
night we stayed up in Joshua Tree National Park. And there's
a ship the corkscrew and one of those buys a PSA on the lit.
Yeah. So the first night was Joshua Tree National Park or up
there? And of course, there's no Wi Fi there. It's just a
campsite with nothing. And no, absolutely no cell phone
connection. Although, I have to say I have three networks with
me. I have T Mobile Verizon AT and T. So far, at&t wins hands
down as it comes to coverage, at least where we've traveled. Do
you Oh,
there's another thing to do? What? When you're on your road,
keep a map with you and then put the coverage information down.
And then you did like, it could be a scandal?
What am I Consumer Reports? I think so. No? Well, we'll figure
it out. But Verizon, definitely not as great. Not in the parts
we traveled. But anyway, it was awesome. It was so phenomenal.
And and you know, by the time we were out of the out of the park,
I had to 3g on, on AT and T and I did my email and stuff. Well,
Mickey was driving so I know. And you know what, we still like
each other.
But it's only been a couple of days. Give me a break now. And
by the way, should have your seatbelt on when you're in the
back. Yes.
So I have seatbelts in the back.
So can you tether the 3g connection and make it so it's
possible to do Skype and I had not enough bandwidth, ya
know, if we have pure 3g With AT and T, I think we could probably
do a show reasonably well. I have to shut down a lot of stuff
even on this park Wi Fi. I gotta shut down my email and
everything because it's all like shared bandwidth and stuff and,
and Mickey can't be on the computer. But it's reasonable.
And so you know, again, knock on plastic. So far, so good. So
it's gonna be a hoot, man. It's gonna
be great dream. Are you streaming Can you stream from
from 3g? Yeah,
yeah, I think so. I think we got like, an average 250 to 300
kilobits upstream should work. It's about what I have. Now.
What are you using? What are you using right now?
Right now? I'm using the park Wi Fi.
What Park?
Where were the park where we're parked? Of course.
You're in a park and what kind of a prize it is National Park
State Park no
Park rego springs are you kidding me Borrego Springs is
outside of it is a national park that we drove through to get
here. This is basically a golf course with RVs. Okay, so
you're dealt with the old farts? Now? They're
not that old. Unfortunately. I have to say some of them are
probably not more than like six or seven years older than I am
and I'm like, Oh my God. Is that
this is the future. We're witnessing the future.
It's time traveling to the future. I could do it though.
John. See
you making a life out of this. I could be honest about it. Yeah,
I could. I could totally paranoid and crazy enough.
I could totally do this. Hey,
John. I'm in Ohio. But what bring back the show? What's the
what's in memory the good days? What's interesting, though, you
know when you're RVing around is 99% of the people you meet are
of the slave variety who have their eyes so firmly shut they
have no clue. You hear the conversations you like. Oh, wow.
Really? Yeah. Has a you we stopped off it. Was that see?
See, I gotta write all this down. Salton on see. Have you
ever heard of that? Oh, the Salton
Sea yet well, it's salted they just a bunch of that's just a
dead area
with that trailer park
it's got a dead trailer park
No. Well the people in there are alive but barely anything we had
lunch it to at some like place we
just lad that's the refuge of the last solo Yeah, yeah, we
just missed the luau last weekend. Darn. But it's fine you
know you sit there and you listen to people and by the way
you smoking indoors rules and regulations don't apply in salt
Nanci. Want an ashtray? Yeah, thanks. That's cool. Anyway, now
it's a it's going to be great and anyone who was out there and
get my nation and would like us I would like to offer Have some
form of hospitality or services. Just email mickey@curry.com M IC
K y. And we've got so many cool things coming in John, it's
unbelievable. We
organized though I guess Mickey is very organized. I know that
but what are you going to be able to? You know, I, it seems
to be going to get too much to do, you're not going to be able
to
Well, if there's no way, there's no way we're gonna be able to
get to everybody, I don't think and also, there's a lot of
people in the same place, we may have to like, combine stuff also
meeting. Yeah, we'll have a meeting. Also, you know, we will
probably also need a little bit of time to ourselves from time
to time. Now.
You know, there's plenty of time to yourself driving.
Yeah, but what you notice is like the show, the work that
goes into the show, when you're at home, and you've got like 20
megabits down and two megabits up, that makes a big difference.
When you're on the road and you're on Wi Fi, you're on 3g.
Work goes slower. And you know, I can't watch C span yet because
I don't have the even though the many of the parks have cable
hookups. So basically, I'm watching C span over the
internet. Can you say buffering? Yeah, it's paying for that C
span has the absolute worst video technology you could
imagine sucks. Let's just put all their stuff on YouTube. So
horrible. Yeah, they should. Why don't they? I don't know. Is it
someone paid $80 million for that website. Gotta keep it
gotta keep it rollin. Gotta keep it used. So anyway, I was able
to do plenty of work yesterday. And I'd have to say, John, the
number one thing on my mind is the possible biological attack
in Europe, as everyone has now pooping their guts out. Well, I
want to hear what you think. Well, I have absolutely no.
Well, there's a couple things.
Don't have any thoughts.
I got no thoughts. I'm empty.
I got nothing here. Germany. Well,
there's I want to play a couple of quick clips about this, most
of it from your own news, which I like because they seem pretty
impartial. But the most important one is from Russia
today, who of course, are anything but impartial. But this
is this is a big deal. I mean, he I have a lot of contact with
people in Europe. And this is definitely a well, it's
definitely a scary situation. Nobody knows what they can eat.
People are dying. Now. It's not huge numbers, you know, 18
people dying from from anything is not, you know, overly
concerning. But if you don't know where it's coming from, and
it could, it could be in your next cucumber. But of course,
they're trying to do well, there are different factions that work
here. So first, I want to say right off the bat, nobody is
even considering the biological attack angle. And I don't
understand why isn't this what we were told in the United
States is like, we know, the most important things for our
security, food security, we had this whole food security bill
for this very reason. So everything is tracked. Now, mind
you, we don't have it here in the States. But why isn't anyone
shouldn't these guys who pass this bill can be coming out and
claiming that they're so awesome. They did this? Like,
yeah, we won't have that here. We got few food security now.
Like
I actually kind of baffled by it. I didn't take that angle,
because I was looking at some other stories. But now that you
mention it, I would think that you could use it as a political
football, obviously, just as you said, and nobody's doing that.
And the other thing is that kind of leads that would lead you to
think that the way you're thinking is the fact that they
still haven't isolated the
source source which is which is what you want, right? You need
to isolate and
when I say the source, but you by by now I was thinking they're
just incompetent boneheads and they can't isolate the source
because they don't know what they're doing. Because we
isolate the source on these breakouts within a couple of
days. Always.
Yeah, yeah, we can track it back. And I don't even know how
that works, how the how the trace backs work, but we seem to
be able to do it.
They haven't done it and it's been over a week, I think. All
right. So there's a couple of fractions at work here. The
first of course, is calm down everybody don't panic.
Despite almost 200 new cases in Germany on the first few days of
this month alone infection rates of the virulent strain of E.
coli are said to be slowing. If true, it will be good news for
the country's fresh produce suppliers whose livelihoods have
been decimated in the wake of the outbreak. Recently, it
survived and the vegetables are just ripening. Now she says the
standards come in parsley, radishes, all the stuff that can
be eaten raw, but people don't want it. It's all just lying
around. It's so beautiful. But at least 18 people have died and
more than 1800 been infected by the bugs since it was detected
on the first of May. Germany's apologized for initially blaming
cucumbers from Spain, but that hasn't stopped hundreds of 1000s
from being banned.
The percentage of people who actually have severe
complications is higher than we expect. And we usually expect to
see that in children and in, in older people. So it's very
unusual for us to be seeing this in in adults.
Scientists say the E. coli strain is a new hybrid. Humans,
consumers have been warned off fresh produce, but EU
specialists now say the warning may not be justified as the
source has not yet been identified. Okay, so
there's the guy realize
it. I'm sorry. Well, you realize it was May 1, and they haven't
identified it since May 1.
Oh, yeah. No, it's been going on for a while. We talked about it
on the show that early we know we talked
about when it was starting to break, but I, I guess, time
eludes me, but the fact is, really, to identify the source,
they can't do it. That's not good.
No, it's not good. So. So I think those are the guys who
were supposed to be responsible for tracking and are basically
saying, Oh, don't worry about it, you know, could be slowing
down. It's okay. But obviously, it's still a problem are working
on it. Then we get this report.
Doctors in Germany are hoping a new antibody therapy will be
effective in treating the E. coli bug that has so far killed
19 people
and T What was it? What did he say there? Did you catch that?
It was like anti antibody there is that that is not the
antibody? Isn't that a vaccine?
Well, I would think generally speaking, it would be but I
don't know what they're talking about. They may have some other
mechanism or I don't know I don't know what they're why they
said that I have no idea
well, because I think I think that they're gonna come out with
a vaccine. And we have to be very careful you and I because
if Russia Today ever get some hot chicks so hot blonde chicks
to host their shows, we could be out of a job because listen to
this report. These guys are so like this could be Hello,
everybody. Hello, everybody. This is Russia today with no
agenda. Spain may launch legal action against Germany which
prematurely by the way, for those you who are wondering
she's not hot. Okay.
Lee pointed to its cucumbers as a cause of the fatal E. coli
outbreak. The hysteria over Spanish bodies has crippled the
country's farm exports and cost millions of euros in just a
week. And while the source of the infection is still
undefined, critics believe the pharmaceutical industry may be
the one to benefit from the vegetable panic.
So already you're set up Ah, really, the pharmaceutical
industry will benefit from this. No kidding.
Some cucumbers kill that much is clear. And it's also become
apparent that although Germany blamed Spain as the source of
the E coli, it's not. That's costing innocent Spanish fruit
and vegetable exporters around 200 million euros a week
carry most pensar que
no but all this maneuvering all these statements show an
absolute lack of responsibility that what is happening today is
a checkmate to the Spanish vegetable and fruit industry.
It's absolutely unacceptable. Their location called a useless
weapon has been produced, which will be of no use to anyone. Do
you
hear the words that are used here? So it's an attack from
Germany on Spain? Obviously, it's a weapon. This is what and
that's not even Russia. Today's it was their translation, but
they're calling it a weapon. And it just gets better from there.
The Germans know those who are suffering from the disease, and
it will incur huge losses on the Spanish agriculture.
Calling the European health watchdog discredited. Russia
says it had no choice but to ban all fruits and vegetable imports
from the entire European Union. Reaction Brussels called
disproportionate. Russia says it was clear from the beginning the
Spanish weren't to blame
Kotori believers because it looks as if the accusations
brought against the Spanish cucumbers were unfounded. This
was obvious from the outset. Why? Because of Spain was the
source of the disease. Why is no one else there? It sounds as if
Spain could hide the disease. This isn't a mild flu, you can
keep secret German health officials still cannot see what
caused the outbreak or what's the Transfer Factor of the
disease. And most importantly, the situation is still not under
control. It's to the discredit of the European health watchdog.
It's a very delicate time for the Spanish economy, which is
teetering on the edge of needing an EU bailout. This is decidedly
not a good moment for 150,000 tons of produce to go unsold.
It's also struck another blow to the already fragile relationship
between Germany and Spain after the German Chancellor implied
Spaniards were lazy and spendthrift in a speech earlier
this month
that we missed that one. So it's a beauty.
I mean, this doesn't help the Spanish economy which is already
in the tank M is almost I could see it being a a financial
attack. It's like, well, this
is why they're calling it a weapon.
Why don't we just blame Spain and screw them? Yeah, this
is why they're calling it a weapon. I mean, it could not be
a more perfect storm. I can't believe Leave that Germany would
say something like that. And, of course, I don't even know who
said it first or where it came from some Ministry of Truth. But
yeah, it's like, hey, you know what? You're not paying us back.
Oh, really? Okay, so then why don't we just stick it all the
way in and then move it around. I
ended. I'm reminded of the situation that occurred. We had
a little tiff with Chile. This was back in the 80s, I think in
the mid 80s. And then all of a sudden, somehow, two grapes that
were being imported from Chile were found to have seriously
this was bogus.
There's two grapes, twos, two singular grapes,
two grapes. Singular grapes were found with a pinprick and
injected with strychnine.
Oh, I remember that. Right?
Yeah. Oh, my family's to grape somehow amongst the billions.
Amazing.
Yeah, we found your great bitches. And they
found these two grapes and they stay stopped all imports of
Chile and table grapes. And it get put to their little deer
industry in a tailspin. And they all of a sudden they, they
resolved it. And then it just disappeared from the news cycle.
And then nobody ever explained to anything about in the whole
thing was bullcrap. Because how do you find and they show I
remember seeing the photo because I actually wrote an op
ed about this in the San Francisco Examiner and saw the
photo because this had been deconstructed. You're a great
expert. And so I saw the grape with the whole pinprick, I'm
thinking how do you find this grape? It's ridiculous. Bull
crap
right? So there's more of course this report and this kind of
winds up with the third fraction which we were all expecting it
will be a fractal a fraction. Faction I'm sorry faction. I
camp a cabal
or faction okay fact gang. So the
loss of product, lots of sales and disruption at this time,
which is particularly an important time as the harvest
come through on perishable goods which you cannot
This is an economist by the way,
hold back all resell.
Cynics say all this is just the media whipping up its latest
health hysteria. In 2005. The United Nations warned the world
that bird flu could kill up to 150 million people. In reality
the seven years until the end of 2010 Saw 303 People die. More
recently, swine flu was the killer swine 65,000 People were
supposed to die in Britain alone, only around 360 people
did. Encouraged by pharmaceutical companies,
European countries spend billions of dollars on
unnecessary vaccines. As the World Health Organization
announces this is a new strain of E. coli. Some see farmers
benefiting yet again,
I think probably we'll see very soon behind all of this new
declarations from the large pharmaceutical industry like
they did with the swine flu. But they have something to protect
people against the exact strain of E. coli that's creating such
a unrest across Europe.
Exactly. antibody therapy, whatever. So everybody wins.
Germany wins because they they kick Spain's ass and get to take
their beaches for free. Pharmaceutical guys win because
they get to shoot everybody up in anticipation of the next E
coli ecoli. Outbreak. Let's see who doesn't win? Ah, yes, Spain
doesn't win. In fact, they lose quite enormously.
Actually, the public as a whole doesn't win.
Well, now now, well, every
day, somebody's got to get to the bottom of this thing. But by
the way, I don't think people should be using the word pharma
in stories that have to do with agriculture because it sounds
like the same farmer.
Another thing for our list when we when we get the consulting
gig for Russia today. It's like, Listen,
you gotta have a couple of standby. They haven't called us.
I really, it's so amazing why they haven't called us. You
know, one of our producers. This is funny. Hold on, let me just
find it. Alright, is it here we go. Who was it? Producer base,
sent a note to the Hot Pockets company and said, You should

And no agenda show.com
divorce. Audio and slash and a Yeah.
Don't get too close to that mic, man. I don't have all the
processing that I can.
Okay. Well, Dave, I want to thank everybody for coming. Let
me figure it out a little bit here. I just measure the
distance.
What do you do? What do you mean? You're fisting your
microphone now.
I take a my fist. And then I put it up against the mic and the
distance to where the Pops, I'm sorry, the distance row, the pop
screen is good. According to Hyles own specs should be about
four inches from the diaphragm. And if you've ever been four
inches from a diaphragm, you know what I'm talking about. If
you're
four inches from a diaphragm, you're too close.
So anyway.
Yeah, that's better. So do you keep Do you? No. Yes. Do you
keep your fist there the whole time?
If I did that, I would, then it would sound like
this. Okay, that's much better. Actually, you've never sounded
so good.
Really? That sounds good. I'll definitely keep it this way.
Okay. A couple other PR mentions I'd like to make before we get
underway with today's program. Thank you very much, Matt, for
another fine domain name forward a frothy mix of Adam and
john.com. Which I that visual is rough for me. Yeah. Another
great forward to no agenda show.com from Dave Boehner in
the boxers.com. Which we knew that was coming. Yeah. Fistful
of Dollars. We already discussed that. This is actually a cool
one. Member, Patrick, the kid who, who submitted the paper
with all the no agenda memes. Yeah, so he says in the morning,
I've registered in a schoolwork.com. To make the meme
infested schoolwork initiative and official thing, I plan to
set up a site. But if anyone who actually knows how to write code
wants to I'm sure I can set something up with them. The idea
is, every time you have to write a paper or do any schoolwork,
you stick in memes wherever you can then send the paper to me
and I'll post it on the site. Thanks for mentioning, thanks
for mentioning me, there's a 15 year old kid by the way, thanks
for mentioning me on the show. All my friends are impressed.
Sorry, I'm not using encryption. I know how to encrypt a doc but
you're using your key, I can't quite figure out how to encrypt
this email. So I'm working on something extremely cool, which
folds right into our next domain name forward and invest Patrick
to hold on to any schoolwork.com Because I have now set up with
Gus Raya, or Raya, or a ya, that's our producer who got
podcast licensed.com. Here's how it works. If you go to podcast
licensed.com Right now John, and of course the site will come
down, it will come crashing down to its knees is don't go to it.
Just let John go. Please don't Don't type it in just yet.
You'll see that, we'll be able to give you a podcast license
and official podcast license. And we also have internet dash
licensed.com coming. But this is for the podcasters. If you pay
up your lifetime membership, it's a one time fee for a
lifetime membership. You're certified for the entire
duration of your human resource existence, you will get a
podcast license and you will get your name, your last name dot
podcast licensed.com. And that page, you will be able to do
anything you want with it you can and this is the part that
I'm working on will give you a login, you could forward it to
your own domain, you can put stuff on that site there you can
change the whole look and feel of it. So right now we have Adam
curry dot podcast. licensed.com. And of course Gus Raya dot dot
podcast license.com. And that's so if anyone ever asked you if
the government ever comes around and says, hey, hey, let me see
your podcast license.
So I want to know, I want to know, how is this automated?
Because yes, yes, yes, yes, this
is what's so awesome.
So you pay 33 bucks, and then and then you just type in your
name. And then it creates the subdomain? Yes,
that's exactly it. So right now, there's just one or I only set
this up last night from the RV that I can already do it from
here. Yeah, I'm telling you, man, this is the new stuff that
Dave and I have been working on. This is gonna be awesome.
Adam, can we come on at eight something that you're just gonna
be on the computer all day?
Nikki was sleeping. She's like, I'm crashing. Throw whiskey in
theater all day. Are we gonna go out?
Yeah, sure. Honey, let's go golfing. We're gonna we're gonna
have to take up golfing there's so many RV, a golf Park combos.
It's crazy. Anyway, so we're gonna do the same thing with
Patrick's na schoolwork.com and also forthcoming with internet
dash licensed.com that may have to be a little bit more
expensive and particular podcast license only encompasses
podcasting. And an internet license might have to be 6666 or
not to forget Without him, it's a much bigger deal, obviously,
but it certainly it's certified. I mean, from the pod file 1111.
I mean, seriously from the pod father?
Yeah, in fact, it's gonna say on the license is going to have the
two lines where the signatures are was John Hancock, and the
other one is gonna say pod father and your signature
and and I'll keep half of my money for for Dave Winer.
Because one day he'll say, Yeah, I want the check anyway, and
then I'll do that. No, no, no, no, we've discussed it. He said,
I don't I don't want the money. I said, I'm gonna, I'll just
send you a check, don't cash it. If you don't want it, then
that's fine. So anyway, I want to add three more domain names
that are forwarding here we've got 333 dot net. And that's
number three, three spelled out as three number three.net and
dot info. And then we also have shill for hire.com. Which has a
nice domain for it and all of these, by the way, are all going
to be relevant to the same system like podcasts license, so
you'll be able to become a part of no agenda domain community
not quite sure what I'm going to call it yet but it's it's going
to be awesome because then you'll be connected into the all
these different sites. Yeah, just trust me on that one. And
then finally, oh, yes, a programming note from Eric the
shill. And buzzkill Jr, by the way is the new name for JC was
also killed,
Jr. It's a good name right.
It's funny, I don't know this ad. I think he chose it. There's
something
I've seen him in the chat room in our back channel is Buzz
killed Jr. I love it. It would be really helpful if all the
Knights and Dames and barons and baronesses would go to no agenda
nation.com and create an account if you haven't already done so.
Please add your shipping address to your account. At this point,
he's received a few change of address emails etc. So we've got
to start organizing ourselves better if you're a night a dame
a baron or Baroness and you, you want to take possession of your
ring which are in the rings or in the valuer presentation boxes
along with a stick of sealing wax, and your official
certification will be on its way to you and I'm very excited
about this. I can't wait to see mine. I can't wait to take
picture. What's
your ring size? You don't even know do you? Yeah, I
do. It's an eight. size eight. What's your ring size?
I don't know. I have no idea. I'm
fig mouth.
I just said and I'm honest. Yeah. And then
and Miss Mickey is also an eight. She'll Oh really? Yeah.
Now we can wear the same rings. And that's perfect because I
only have to get one right? Yeah, we'll have to get one I
need the one with the diamonique on top. And then I can propose
and take the ring off my finger and say proposed to her is
perfect. Awesome system. Hi, everybody. Thank you so much for
your PR efforts. And of course we want to especially thank our
Associate Executive Producer, producers communty Megu and
Jamie Stubblefield, our executive producer sir Stephane
Springer I was also 310 Club mender member and our executive
producer and exclusive 333 club member for this episode of
course you could still get in on that three through three is on
the way. Gary later thank you all so much. This is an official
credited or not like this Hollywood phony baloney
douchebags if you need someone to vouch for it we'll be happy
to do so everybody else out there you know what to do our
formula is simple go out and propagate it our formula is this
we go out we hit people
in the mouth
everybody shut up slave
so I got a variety of weird clips. Okay, one of them I
whenever they run this is not doesn't um, there's no follow up
on this clip. It's just something that I found
interesting. Some years ago my wife actually pointed this out
to me that I kind of developed a actually wrote an article about
it about the certain women in Berkeley, that she always refers
to his Hummers as what? Not Hummers because they always hum
when they speak and they can't and they never stopped talking.
There's always noise coming from them and it goes like this. I
let me do a hobby a Hummer for a second. Well, Adam been around.
Oh, I know what that is. I know what that is. That's women who
don't want to be interrupted. So they, they keep emanating sorry.
All
right. So I found that the new editor of the New York Times is
a Hummer is a slow speaking Harbor. And I would just slap my
head and say, Oh my God, this woman has got to be the worst in
a meeting and she runs meetings all day. Just play the clip,
chief among many other things. She joined the times from the
Wall Street Journal in 1997. Joe Abramson, congratulations and
welcome.
Thank you so much, Jim. First,
just on on the personal level, what does it mean to you to
become the executive editor of the New York Times?
It means the world to me.
This is great. Oh, my God. This is
no way it was funny about when she finishes this little little
chit chit chat here. He freaks because he's got her obviously
on a whole block. She's blocked for like the ad blockers. Right?
So he's, he's listening to her going like this. He's going, Oh,
my God, I owe him again to get nothing from her. And I've got
her schedule for 10 minutes.
She's a Berkeley Hummer.
You can hear him panic after she goes through this little humming
number right here
by hearin. Manhattan. And the New York Times was workshopped
in my family and what?
Oh, wait a minute. This is unbelievable. I've never heard
this in my life. John, she's, it's like she's on Skype. You
know what I mean, when sky draws
out like that?
Oh, my God. Can you imagine living with this woman
that time said was true was the truth. And so I became an avid
reader of the paper as a young school kid, and it seems
scarcely believable to me that I will hold the top editorial
position in the newsroom.
Did you ever find yourself longing to be the boss or
dreaming about it? Or
he's already freaking here? He's like, What am I going to do with
her? Questions? Hilarious.
We need her to do a jingle for me. Chemtrails.
I mean, is this is this a fulfillment of something that
you saw coming sometime? You didn't know when but maybe
I did that that's a great description. I hope that it
would come like definitely it was a maybe new because I worked
so closely with Bill as his managing editor. I got to see
his job up close and how much fulfillment he got from it and
we both working together got such a kick out of running the
news report that sure on certain days, I would think boy, it
would be nice to have that job but being managing editor for
news was a very sweet job itself. Oh
significant.
Coming this went
on, by the way and on and
except the whole thing that's fantastic. A Berkeley,
your New York Times editor in chief that she is the one with
this. I'm going to do a story.
Everybody has.
So you can thank you know when you read you know, you've just I
just want I think I don't know she's probably a nice enough
person is for a Hummer and but she is like she's the one that's
you know, that's calling the shots for all the centrally
setting the agenda. This woman is setting the agenda for
national news. Yeah, I like it.
She's perfect for that.
On the topic of Chem trails, I am the Thank you, Jim. I am the
it's like a Buddhist monk.
Exactly. She's like probably is Buddhists. Yes. Be
I'm mellow. She's doing the Gregorian chant. I am running
the New York nine. I love it. Good call
Clip of the Day already. Yeah, well, I give that one to you.
Right there off the top.
Yeah, there goes my book review.
Hey, you know, I went to, as I always do, I want to go see the
President's speech. And the White House is completely I
think I haven't received any email yet, but I think they're
completely shilling for the President's campaign. I guess
it's okay to do that. Be if you go to White House was the.gov.
Now?
I don't think it is I think it's illegal. Well, this is there's a
there's a welcome
page, a splash screen, if you will. And and it says, Would you
like to sign up to get periodic updates from President Obama and
other administration officials. So of course, I immediately
entered in my email address, and then you don't get that screen
anymore. And then it's gone. And I've never seen that. And you
know, me, I go to the whitehouse.gov all the time.
It's like what I do,
they kept a cookie, I'd Rachel your cookies, it'll show up
again,
da, thank you. I know how the internet works. That's not the
point. Because this is new stuff. I'm telling to people out
there, not you. So anyway, I signed up with an email address,
so I can track it. And if I start getting stuff from Barack
obama.com, then we've got to raise a big flag.
Usually, you aren't getting anything so that I haven't
received anything life is on the mailing list. And so she won't
be able to try this. I'm gonna try it too. I'm gonna put my
email address in there right now. I'm gonna use a specific
one. Yeah. Because I have, you know, a variation of them in a
variation of
yeah, you're awesome.
I am. I use a specific one to this. And then I can see if they
if they do that, then I'm going to report it to the Federal
Election Committee. Right on.
So the President is at the Chrysler plant. And he's, of
course now let's recall from our last show, 400,000 m 400,000.
Vehicles are maintained by the GSA, as the GSA, the general
supply administration, whatever the guys who take care of the
whole governmental fleet, and they did this big press
conference and at all the Chrysler vehicles out there,
Chrysler, of course, paid back their loans to the US
government,
we already must eliminate Services Administration.
Thank you. Yes. So we already busted Vice President Joe Biden.
Last week, as he was filling in for the president should have
said that, Hey, everybody, it's Joe Biden filling in for the
pres. Yeah,
great I could get next week. Right. I'll be back again.
Next time. He's out of town. So Brock's haven't none of that.
He's like, I'm I want my show back. And now, so you have to
remember that they're making a big deal out of this. The
Chrysler paid back their loans six years ahead of time. Well,
of course, they did that because they were paying 12% interest on
the government financing. They were able to to secure $5.4
million a refund, they reified at 8%. And of course, part of
the refi deal is that the government through the GSA is
buying Chrysler vehicle. So it's a scam, just realizing
what you do in the book business. By the way,
how does that well, you
go into a publisher. Yeah. Not to interrupt this flow of
thought.
I mean, I'm interested, I'm interested, you go to a
publisher with
a book, you got your book proposal. And then they said,
this book sucks. And you say, no, wait a minute, what are you
in look on page three of the book proposal, we have already
pre sold 10,000 books to this company that's going to
distribute them free. They're gonna buy them at wholesale, and
they're going to distribute them free to all their employees.
Nice. You that sells the book? Do you? How
do you do that? How do you pre sell them?
You go to the company, it's very easy, you got to sell them. You
go to a company. So you were you're writing a book about some
something specific like vaccines. So you go to you take
your vaccine proposal and you walk it over to Merck, or one of
these big drug companies Oh, right. You guys can shit send
one of these books, all your sales guys, and you can give him
to your customers. And you can do this, you do that once the
book is published, so you can get a special price? And they
say, yeah, we'll do that. And they sign off on it. And then
you take it to the book publisher. And then like,
there's tons of books that are being published today, because
of the pre sales.
Perfect. So that, of course, is not quite the same amounts we're
talking about. We're talking about 400,000 vehicles in the
governmental fleet is not quite right. So of course Barack is
doing his show from the floor of the Chrysler plant. How do you
think he starts it off? I mean, remember, Joe Biden was there
last week, we've got to pull every everybody back in with our
signature catchphrase. Hello, everybody. Hello, everybody.
Hello, everybody. I'm coming to you from Chrysler.
I'm speaking to you today from a Chrysler plant in Toledo, Ohio,
Toledo. Met with workers workers.
I just met with workers workers, you know, we call them slaves.
cluding, Jill opium Joe was born and raised. I liked that
little jewel opium. There. He's throwing the poppy opium. Their
name is Opia. But it sounds like opium. Hello, everybody. Wow.
Shut up. Let's listen to clip Hello,
Chrysler plant in Toledo, Ohio, where I just met with workers,
including Jill Opia. Jill was born and raised here in Toledo.
Her mom and stepfather retired from this plant. She met her
husband here and now they have two children of their own.
Doesn't it sound like it's a plantation is what it is. Yeah.
And they know how to propagate
Very good. He had to he had to is Donna Shaw awesome.
This plant has not only been central to the economy of this
town, it's been part of the lifeblood of this community. Now
the reason I came to Toledo was to congratulate Jill and her co
worker. And that's not
true, by the way, because Corporal clinger was also from
Toledo. So Chrysler is not the only lifeblood in Toledo, Ohio,
a turnaround they helped bring about a Chrysler and throughout
the auto industry. Today, each of the Big Three automakers
Chrysler, GM, and Ford is turning a profit for the first
time since 2004. Chrysler has repaid every dime and more of
what it owes American taxpayers for their support during my
presidency, and repaid that money six years ahead of
schedule. And this week, we reached a deal to sell our
remaining stake. And that means soon Chrysler will be 100% in
private hands. Yeah, of course, he
doesn't mention that it's in private hands of the other note
holders whose they switched to they reified with. So I don't
like that I don't like him taking credit for something that
really isn't credit worthy. All that he does, he's screwed these
guys by in Chrysler, I believe Chrysler didn't want the bailout
money in the first place.
They were privatized. I don't think they needed it either.
Yeah, no, they were forced to
take it just like the banks in 2008. Now, here's the crazy one.
So do you remember what President Vice President Joe
Biden said last week about you know what the perfect life is?
No, I don't remember was like, go to school, work hard, retire
with dignity, shut up, slave and die.
This is death. The work? Yeah, well, this is
it. This is this is the American dream, ladies and gentlemen,
brought to you by Barack Obama. That's how we'll
build an economy where you can see your incomes and savings
rise again. send your kids to college, and retire with
dignity, security, and respect
and then die. Literally now. He makes a gaffe in here, which I
you know, they'd have so many edits in this thing, I would
have asked him to retake it, but he didn't.
That's how we'll make sure we keep that fundamental American
promise that if you work hard, and act responsibly, you'll be
able to pass on a better life to your kids and your grandkids.
I'm sorry, yeah, work, act responsibly, and work hard and
shut up. Then you can pass on a better life of working hard and
acting responsibly and shutting up to your kids and grandkids.
This is unchecking up. Yes. Well, he's not really saying
shutting up, but I hear it in my head. I can't help.
No, we've got a ways to go. Even though our economy has created
more than 2 million private sector jobs over the past 15
months, and continues to grow. We're facing some tough
headwinds.
This is what I didn't get. We're facing some tough headwinds.
Because the tough chair to DC headwinds is Yeah,
though, it's tough headwinds. So I think I think he was the
script ring. He
means headwinds. I mean, well,
I think what happened is the script reads tough, tough
headwinds, but in his mind, he's so used to saying tough times
that the tea crept in there to its
toll ice. Yeah. Tough. Teddy said headwinds I've had to miss
hearing. Well, you can
either you said tuft headwinds or tough headwinds, either one,
let's listen again,
and continues to grow. We're facing some tough headwinds.
Lately, it's high gas prices.
Whoever's producing that you're fired. Right? You fired? No,
good. Anyway, so I thought that was pretty disgusting. Once
again, the lies are propagated. However, some good news, John,
and I would like to congratulate you, and, and everyone else to
whom this applies to as I will read the bottom of the
proclamation signed on the 31st of may, for all of June 2011.
Now, therefore, I BARACK OBAMA, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
OF AMERICA, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the
Constitution, and the laws of the United States, do hereby
proclaim June 2011 as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender
Pride Month. Oops. targets. It is. Yep. It's LGBTQ A s USA
Pride Month. What's the q s for al Qaeda? Okay. There was a
queue and queer the queue was
run that was really long and we did a whole show on your home.
The sound was out it
was queue for queer as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and
queer.
That's it there was another letter in there too. But anyway,
it was real love was ridiculous. It could be it wasn't it was not
working.
No. Anyway, so happy LGBTQA USA month everybody While
one of our Brooks was gay, yeah, he mentioned one time I was
telling him I said, How did it become? I always thought it was
gay lesbians. GLB it was GLBT. Jen, he's elemento PIO, LG, how
did we come l whatever. It is not open BLT salad
too much like a bacon, lettuce, tomato.
Well, it was g it was new, but it started with gays. It was
gay, lesbian, blah, blah, blah. And now it's lesbian, gay.
Yeah. How come the lesbians get the leading credit?
He says, you know, a lot of people are a little irked
about that. Oh, really? Interesting. Yeah. Interesting.
Yeah, he says he doesn't know when it happened or why it
happened. But it's a little irksome.
And it used to be that gay women were also just gay they had to
have their own
know that they could be gay that that'd be a debit to hold
separate category
and by the way, I feel left out and discriminated against
because there's no mention of by curious and I feel that I
shouldn't be able to celebrate my month two.
You need a month.
I need a quarter. I need a cue bike Curie Hey everybody. I
proclaim this bike curious male quarter I'm pissed off. Thanks.
I think I have a civil lawsuit on my hands. For sure.
So Alright, so let's take a look at I gotta get back to my list
of crazy clips
crazy clips where she got what she got Yeah, hey, you know
what's
there was he this is interesting to play the hex This is tell me
guess what this is play hexa Foose
Oh hold on a second. Sorry. You jumped the gun on me Johnny Boy.
It's also 79 degrees here inside sorry we go.
Bad. hexa Foose. hexa Foose.
Can I please have the definition
a three toed or triangular mark put on some Pennsylvania barns
to keep evil spirits from the cattle or for decoration?
Is this the new world order graduation ceremony hexa Foos
serious this National Spelling Bee.
It would be funny if we could have that woman from the New
York Times participate for us. A GE
Can you spell hex if you can't because it's
spelled ATX a FOSX hexa. Foose,
you got it unbelievable. So the ask Adam isn't ask Adam thing.
Let's play along with another minute of the clip and then
we'll skip the rest. Okay.
Can I please have the language of origin
it's made up of German elements
Luciferian
hexa Foose, which is a little misleading
and ASOs have the word used in a sentence? Mr.
I think you've trumped your clip of the day
looks enlarged his head suppose when he realized it was the
reason tourists stopped at his farm stand.
Excuse me job. I gotta go enlarge my hexa Foose. I'll be
right back.
Are there any alternate pronunciations?
Just the one? Hey,
what is it kind of spelling bee? Is this how many things you get
to ask are there any alternate pronunciations? And they all ask
the exact same one is the sky this is just thinking time that
they don't give a crap about that. It's just to think right?
It's like if you were
back No wait, it's not really stalling because once the words
announced the clock begins you get two minutes. Oh, okay. So
all right. When you love it when these kids okay, this is the
John this could be our next gig. Yeah, I think I paid your 10
year old is about to answer.
I am from the New York Times and I'm narrating the spelling bee
champions.
from Dr. Bailey while they're still processing how to spell
it. hexa Foose H exa F.
O. 's Hexen Foose?
Yes that is where all that time on the school that he's awesome
spelling everyday with the triple Lutz on that move was
just fantastic. John, what did you think of of that to answer I
was just amazed. I thought the diction was
I liked it a nail that because it was a confusing of course the
guy hinted that it was it was missed. It was confusing that
was German in origin because it would be F U S naught f. O. S
And he writes Yeah, no,
I totally agree. And I think that I think this year's
contestants are really raising the bar. What do you think,
John? John as usual?
Yeah. Of course. So so the answer they ask Adam is What
network? Yeah, I watched probably too much I have not yet
had this show on.
So this and I was going to ask you what network this was on.
And let me think. Can you can you give me the alternative? It
doesn't have three letters. No, no.
I'll give you a hint. It has four letters, four letters.
And that's fine. It's not C span. Four letters.
Time's up. No. What is it? ESPN Sports Network.
Hi, everybody. Welcome to the 2011 Spelling Bee sponsored by
huddle card. That's the way I see it. Sponsored by hot
pockets. Volker and put this on. Hey, don't say that man. Annie
Duke is a friend of mine. And she makes a lot of money on on
poker on TV. It's much more. I don't know, though. I think I
would watch a spelling bee over poker.
I thought it was actually kind of entertaining. I mean, it's a
little slow moving, because they asked the same four questions,
but I think they should. I think what they should do to speed it
up. I think they should make it a little more interesting. Cut
the clock down to 60 seconds.
So let me ask you a question. Put the screws to these kids do
they do they make them sweat little bastards. Hey, do they?
Do they put the answers on the screen for the for the viewers
at home? Yeah, well, that sucks.
No, they do it at the very end. It's about what about when when
the kid starts to spell it. They throw it up?
Oh, that's perfect timing. That's the way I would do it. I
would do it like, like Wheel of Fortune where I'd have Vanna
White revealing each letter from Hachi chick. We would be good. I
mean, come on.
I mean, it's a little slicker than it used to be. Because
since ESPN obviously has some input, right. And but I you
know, can you
imagine that pitch meeting? Hi, we're Adam and John and
for an idea for a show. We're from the National I'm we're from
the
National Spelling Bee Association. And we really think
this will be do great on your network.
And
and we're also the hosts and we do the voiceovers. I love it.
What time is that on? Is that? Is that on? A regular slot?
No, it's over. Now. They just did the 112 was a special
or does that preempt Sumo?
I wish they put sumo back on so it was actually quite
entertaining.
Next time when you please call me when that's on because I want
to watch in real time. Oh, it's cool. No, no. I don't want to
watch sumo the spelling bee. I like it. Thank you.
Oh, I would have said I should have texted you. Yeah. So did
you see the thing? I thought that was the big news who has
been completely suppressed? We did have a bunch of so somebody
blogged it. It's on my blog and it's is that there's the UN and
the international report on on the on the drug industry and how
drugs should be legalized by marijuana in particular should
be legalized and all the rest of them should be decriminalized
because this entire thing has been a farce. Yes, this is
signed off by the biggest names in the business. Yeah, and
actually all of the old world Old Europe leaders are all kind
of on board with this. They all think that this is the way to
go. It's very interesting, which is this the EU clip which which
clip is this
clip, okay, couldn't find a clip because I have the article but I
couldn't find any clips because it's been suppressed. Nobody
wants to talk about especially in the US have a I mean, because
let's face it, we have a drug industry that's making people
money. You know, it's ruining people's lives and screwing up
the society but that's beside the point. It's, you know,
somebody's making a dime here.
And there was something else that I was seeing. It's gotten
so bad that and this was from Gitmo nation East I believe. Let
me see if I can find it. Apparently, people are so strung
out on oxycodone or oxy as we call it. Content. Yeah. Is it
oxy cotton or oxy? codeine? What is the
oxycontin is the is the brand name, which I think is still
patented. Yeah. And oxycodone? I think maybe that with the drugs
off the top of my head, so look it up. Yeah, so people
are going and robbing pharmacies at gunpoint at gunpoint. It's
like, Give me all your oxy bitch. I'm going to start
shooting in five minutes if you know stuck give me the Oxy. I
mean, this is crazy. We have people hooked on the wrong drugs
and people are gonna get hooked anyway.
Yeah, Oxycodone is used to read which is oxycontin is used to
relieve marriage. There is a class of medications called
opiate analgesics works by changing the way the brain
reacts. This stuff's terrible. You looked it up in the big
book. Actually, I'm looking up at national nih.gov It showed
up. It was developed it. Here's the big book, that book of
knowledge hits mentioned it was developed in 1916. Really? Yeah.
In other words, it's one of the ones that said, Oh my god, let's
just use opium.
It is opium right, isn't
it? No, it's It's like a specialist like, Yeah, let's
read it. So we all know Yeah, since it's synthesized from
opium derived fie bein, it was developed in 19, swamis,
stop right there, synthesize from opium derived. So that
means it's a derivative of an OP. It's a derivative of a
derivative. So but it means we need OPM to make it. Yeah, okay.
Well looks like Thank you.
One of several new semi synthetic semi synthetic In
other words, you don't need as much okay, I guess, semi
synthetic opioid opioids in an attempt to improve the existing
opioids, morphine, heroin and codeine, all the good stuff. Oh,
oxy code. Don't ask me why. Opium in itself is what should
be used with most of this? Yeah, why not just take some opium?
You know, it's because it's get you who knows? I mean, the
health is nothing could be as bad as this stuff, as his
oxycodone. But I people, I mean, rush limbaugh was strung out on
it taking, you know, dozens of pills at the top. And he was
like, a major anti drug guy.
But right. That's, that's your give you pause right there. But
I guess you can function. Okay. If you're on the if you're on
the Oxy Oh, yeah. Well, you can with all these these things. So
you're, you're crazy strung out but you can still function could
still do a show. Hey, we can still do a show makes me
one. You know, you think of a you know, going back to Afghan I
do have a clip from Afghanistan, about Afghanistan, which makes
me it's and you listen to this clip. It sounds as though Karzai
is probably strung out.
Well, his brother is the biggest dealer in Afghanistan. So that
makes sense.
So we just have a couple minutes left. What happened with Karzai
crazy town?
Wait a minute, who's saying that
she meant mumbles this in the background. As soon as she's
asked the question. This is a woman who just wrote a book
called The Taliban Shuffle in our book club should take note
and put this book on the on the list. Her name's Kim Barker.
She's an ex Chicago Tribune reporter that went rogue and
decided to write books and quit the business. And she and she's
kind of a clownish character. She
said, she said crazy town.
Yeah, he asked the question. She mumbles before she gives her
answer. She goes crazy.
By the way, this is this is the guy lest you forget that.
Where's the Batman cape? And has the hat made out of sheep fetus?
I mean, I don't need to read a book to know this guy's 100%
Crazy Town. Okay.
She says that she's one of the last people we got to interview
him and he won't take interviews with any male reporters. The
female reporters apparently in Afghanistan have an edge over
the men. That's what I do if I was king. And she she anyway,
you can hear this whole thing and it's quite funny. One
important
question. Is she hot?
She's She's, she's not unattractive.
So we just have a couple minutes left. What happened with Karzai
crazy town? Cars i There's a couple of different things that
I think has happened with cars. First of all, we set him up
pretty much to fail. We love a leader who speaks English and
dresses. Well, we do. We especially love a leader who How
can
she say dress as well? When he's wearing a fetus, sheep's fetus
hat
and control their country, we like dealing with one stop
shopping, which is why we kind of like having Musharraf in
Pakistan, we kind of liked having all those horrible
dictators in the Middle East. I mean, I think our foreign policy
does we preach a lot about democracy, but we like having a
strong man to deal with. And so I think that in the very
beginning, the sense was okay, here's our guy, and also the
Bush administration. We loved having our guys in places. And
so cars I was our guy there. I mean, can you remember when,
when the Iraq War happened, and everybody was saying God, if
only there was a Hamid Karzai in Iraq, you know, God, um, think
about that for a minute. So and I think that over the years,
Karzai is paranoid, he's known to be paranoid. He has become
increasingly isolated. He's, you know, he's basically in this
palace by himself. If you haven't read the story by
Elizabeth Rubin about him. It's a great story in The New York
Times Magazine, it pretty much describes how he's got to this
point. And I think that he's caught between this whole idea
that he really believes inside he is the person who's going to
save his country. He really believes I believe that the West
is against him and that America is trying to kill him in America
is killing people there. I think all these crazy press
conferences he gives, he actually believes that and
that's a problem when your partner has turned into the
person who publicly like And he's always doing a wag the dog
thing. allegations of corruption in Kabul Bank. Look at this
Florida preacher who said a Koran on fire. And then you
know, you get riots where Afghans end up getting killed
and UN people get killed. And
yeah, there's this great observation in the book about
everything will be going to hell and cars. I'll come in at the
when when everything's kind of over and appeal for calm. That's
his way of doing things. So last thing, you'd mentioned Charlie
Wilson's board, which is a terrific book, turned into a
terrific movie. Well, I think that this is a terrific book,
and this could be a terrific movie. And
John, what a shell this woman is a complete shill. Karzai was
CIA. From day one. He worked for UNESCO. He's an oil cabal shill.
He's completely educated in America. His brother owns a
chain of restaurants. And she's acting like this guy just popped
up out of nowhere, and her books gonna be a movie, please.
She never said that. He wasn't a shill. She just says he's nuts.
Oh, yeah. But she's this book. And the subsequent movie is all
meant to discredit this guy. For when whatever we need to do, we
need to paint it on the donkey, but
she could be a CIA shell too.
That's what I'm saying. She is. She's on the inside. It's time
for him to get out. And maybe we do this. I noted a couple of
things from this clip one. If you want to be a dictator, get
some good looking threads. That's clear. You know, so now
it's every dictator who has like some hot outfit some cool
uniform. He works for us. To there's Gaddafi for you.
Yeah, that's a meme. I like it. Yeah,
I mean, she just said that. You know, we want one stop shopping
want a guy that looks the part? Well speaks a little English fix
me let's card because I speaks fluent English.
So an English speaking would sharp Dress Sharp Dressed Man.
And Suge.
Yeah. And let's face it. The Cape was a nice tidy
by we probably are trying to kill him. Yeah. But the cape
was nice, wasn't it? The Cape in the hat. Back there. Wow. You
know, I should go on trips more often. Normally, I'm listening
to old reruns of soap operas. You did some work? This is nice.
I like it.
Well, if you want to hear the best clip before we go to any
Yeah, all right,
I'll hear the best.
I think the most interesting clip unfortunately, this guy
can't speak. He's a writer. I'm assuming find his name here. I
had to cut out the beginning. Actually make take the beginning
of this clip, which I cut out and put it as a separate clip
where he goes for about five minutes. Uh huh. guy's name is
the Nasus Kim Binus and his book for the book club. People out
there is privileged to die. And he deconstructs the mechanism
used by Hezbollah and Hamas to create a culture of of suicide
bomb burps really. And and it's actually when you hear this
little clip this one clip where he actually describes the entire
mechanism as a cultural mechanism that actually works to
in you hear what what the mechanism is. The mechanism is
based on mechanisms based on the fact that women in this
particular culture, and in the Palestinian culture are very
important, but they're still forced to marry these
douchebags. And if they can get the douchebag to kill himself.
You get they get knocked up on the they get pushed not not
knocked up as in pregnant made praying, but you get all the
good you get pushed up the ladder that he's in, they get
pushed up the social ladder.
Let me let me understand so you want to marry some douchebag
who then gets to marry a douche bag? Douche bag for you right
there. All right, that you're gonna like the guy. Now let me
listen to this guy.
The social network that has Bolin has built up around this
idea. So when, when when a young fighter let's say dies, become
becomes a martyr. The party sends psychologists and social
workers around to the to the family to work with them, make
sure that they deal with their depression, make sure the kids
are doing okay and adjusting and succeeding at school. And this
is for two reasons right? One is because they care about their
members and they want them to be okay. Second reason is because
they want people in the society of Islamic resistance to see
that the families of the martyrs are the ones who thrive the
most. So, if you have a martyr in your family, the martyrs
foundation is going to make sure the surviving kids go to the
best schools, they're going to encourage the widow to remarry
and usually to someone of high status within the party, often
another fighter and and the result is that they build an
elite. The core of this elite is are the mothers and the widows
of these martyrs who sort of exemplify PFI the most
successful manifestation of Islamic resistance society and
people say hmm this is the way to climb to the pinnacle of my
society is by by being willing to get my life this way and if I
am chosen to die then my family will be will be even more
blessed and it's it's an incredibly effective
Awesome Time to move
it was funny about it he does point out the fact that is the
women who make the deal
that's unbelievable.
So let's system
Yeah, let's not hear you complain about women's rights
anymore. Sounds like the you know, it may suck a little bit
but once your guy pulls the pin then it's a greater Tracy street
it's a gravy train everybody I love it.
I'm gonna show my move by donate to no agenda. Imagine all the
people who could do that. Oh yeah, that'd be fun
we don't like people blowing themselves up. We like him when
they help us do this show and we've got a few this week

Whose birthday is tomorrow and one for Sister Mary McFarland
whose birthday is also tomorrow there's eight years between them
I tried getting I tried getting on the no agenda nation website
to figure out where I am as far as my knighthood goes but to no
avail. Can I get a counting of my donation so apparently so
I've heard of him before but he shows up as a new donor so
we said I think Eric had a few problems on the on the system
where something had been double counted or whatever anyways,
he's working it out I mean, it's a
beta ladies and gentlemen is not what it was. It doesn't work
like Google. It's a beta does worse doesn't work. It's like
Google only it doesn't work. That's not fair. Listen, I don't
want to get the Say something nice.
Nice. All right. He at least he's trying to get it to work
but I mean, it's you know it's ambitious. I you know, there's a
lot even though and then there's a

Well, however we have lots of trash just stick them on your

get my low lands. Therefore I'm preaching the no agenda gospel
via my car with a nice big in the morning. No agenda show.com
on the back. Greetings from Oh stir leak or East Lake City.
Mark coolin now
poster Lake
poster Lake very good hail from hell the foot. So in these
situations where you have no place to stand out, I don't see
a lot. There are still these little kiosks these things where
they stick up, you know sign up posters and science or rock
concerts and stuff. I think those need to be targeted and
we're not we're not doing enough of that. Anyway, 159 46 Edward
sheets and Brewerton New York 101 2345 David YEG Lee and
Pleasanton, California around the corner, call our name is
Davy eglee last name pronounced yay ugly. Hi, John and Adam. I
did my age birthday calculation that we forgot about plugging
this idea by the way
and we still have six months to go was stupid.
Turns out to be 111 coincidence? I think not. I'm donating in the
hopes that you guys will stop bickering amongst each other
like a couple like an old married couple.
Well, it's inevitable All right. You know, we have like an
old married couple that people there's a whole group of people
that listen just for that, which I think is sick personally. Yes,
I do. It's abhorrent.
Can you explain what this 111 thing is? How
it works? Yeah. So this happens once every what was it? 831
years? I think so. It may not happen again in your lifetime. I
don't know. What you do is you take the a the year that you
were born in the last two digits, and the age you will
become this year or have become this year. And if that equals
111. And it probably should, then you should consider either
signing up for $11.11 A month or going straight for the for the
gambit, like David vaguely there with $111.11. And We highly
appreciate it.
Jared Forrester, Regina, Regina, so I rhymes with Saskatchewan,
Canada. Love the show up. You guys don't fight anymore. This
is what the Illuminati wants you to do. Talking, are they talking
about the title? You're bitching and moaning about something? You
know? $69
Let me tell you what it was. This was about the college
thing. And I got a lot of
you said that college was a piece of shit. No, I
did not. I did not. And the fact though again, let me just say
one thing. I got a lot of emails about this. It's in the show
notes at 310 and a show notes.com. I'll give you two
things that people said that I thought were interesting.
Basically, what I said was you went to Berkeley, and I went to
Salem college for three months and dropped out and I just said,
Well, here we are you with your college education and your
degree and me without one and we're both doing the same same
way. We both have the same way of making our living. That's all
I said it didn't say it was bad. Well, I
here's the thing that you have to really appreciate. I did go
to Berkeley, and I'm not a Hummer.
No, we wouldn't be doing the show. If you were a Hummer,
however, two notes came in one. If you replay that clip, which I
don't have on hand. It was filled. You guys missed it was
filled with memes. And the, I think was the what we're talking
about Peter Thiel, according to this producer sent this note in
the whole thing about this, you know, the meme of college is too
expensive. The education bubble is all about joining the army.
Because when you when you join the army, you get your education
for free. Yeah. You think, by the way. Oh yeah. By the way,
forget the limbs that get blown off. And then Skylar, he says,
as a truck driver, I would like John to know he would be in the
company of 1000s of Berkeley history majors. My second
favorite is seeing Stanford English majors. And I've even
met one former GPO engineer who lost his job during cutbacks
truck drivers rule.
Yeah, well, I apologize all the truckers I didn't mean to demean
any of them. Now, you and bunch of history majors that are
driving trucks and probably doing very well for themselves.
Melissa Deleon in Duncanville, Texas. 6509 is a smart small
start toward my husband's knighthood. It's pretty
generous. Nice. Today is our second anniversary. So Happy
anniversary. John Anthony. I love you. And thank you for
getting getting me hooked on the no agenda show during a nasty
snowstorm. You guys, John and Adam are the best and we have to
listening way too long not to have donated by now but I'm
putting my husband through his PhD program and it ain't cheap.
As we just
saw, here's how it works. Is a blizzard outside honey, I know
what we can do.
And she's like, oh, yeah, I'm getting my hex A foot already.
Excellent. My hexa foods is all I'm all buttered up with my hexa
foods. And he cracks out the no agenda show. Wow. That's very
sweet. That's very sweet.
Well, it's been two years. You know, these things happened two
years. Oh, my goodness, about two years and next thing you
know, instead of you know, just

the RV. I've got an idea. Why don't we listen to this week in

Isles. Beach, Florida. 5995. Here's an interesting one from
Moo Moo by Abdullah Asha Kumar. And by the way, you have to try
to pronounce his whole name.
Can I just interrupt you for one second? John? I wouldn't mind
you calling me back because you went to like, the lowest
possible codec that Skype has.
Okay, why don't you call me and see what did what the routing
is. Okay.
And the good thing about this setup, I believe, and by the
way, you can hear the wind picking up here as I have the
windows open in the mobile Hot Pockets mortgage mortgage. Oh
boy. Got one wrong this is not good. How's this? Hold on a
second. There we go. I'm back.
Testing 123 You sound like crap. But
how do I sound now? Your sound great.
Okay. All right, let's go on. I'm getting an echo now.
Really? Let me try this. Let me try something.
Okay, try again. Testing that better. No, I still get an echo
when it comes in. I can live with it.
I'm sorry. I don't know what to do.
Okay, well, let me just go on. All right. Okay, we got Abba
lash. Kumar, and he wants us to try to pronounce his full name.
Once Can you see it in the in the note can Yeah, I
see it in the note. Here we go. Down here. Okay. His full name
is de Juan badura ro sham ly. I'd be lost Kumar Singh. coolish
Shrestha. Right. Pretty good.
So he says he's Abba, lush Kumar from moving by. And he's been
listening to the show for a few months now and has repeatedly
heard us talk about the fact that people from India are very
tight fisted. And don't like donating
ever. Yeah, I think we've mentioned that that Indians are
cheap, as we
mentioned it all time. And here's here's what he says.
Well, you are right. We don't and when we do we like to get
our money's worth. So it would be nice if you give me a double
shot of de douching and karma. De deuced
you've got karma. You're still getting that echo. Yeah,
I'm sorry, man. I don't know what to do. I can't help it.
Okay.
He needed it for him and his wife and a new human resource.
Ah, he's expecting in a few months
he actually says we should use our accents during we didn't do
our accents you've got no I'm
not going to do the human resource coming in idiot when I
do
on my own Rashaan LOL I'll be large Kumar Singh, Cruz, Russia,
some karma for you. And by the way, karma is 100% of Hindi and
invention.
You know, the thing about that accent goes away, you know, it's
racist. It's not racist. This is the number one way if you take
the English language and see the way people pronounce it and use
it. This is probably the way the majority of English speakers
speak. Yeah.
And And being from Silicon Valley. million of them. Being
from Silicon Valley. We know how Indians talk.
Exactly. They're very good. You know, you are absolutely
correct.
That will be $5 million in venture capital.

We also had a nice chat with Ranger Calum up in that was that
was another nice experience was that we have our own little spot
there. And the Ranger drives by around five in the afternoon.
And and I'm burning wood right in one of those bins, except we
neglected to bring firewood and other thing on the checklist. So
we'd found like some crate not broken to pieces, and you know,
we're burning it up. And the Ranger stops. I'm like, oh,
maybe you know immediately I'm like city guy like, Oh, I did
something wrong. I did something wrong. You're gonna get nervous.
I'm gonna get arrested. And any any stands in front of our RV
and it says, Do I have permission to enter your
campsite? Like wow, that's really cool. And he's a guy with
and by the way Rangers. What does a typical Ranger look like
to you in your mind? Like a Smokey the Bear hat and
right. Yeah, this guy. There are a lot of them like that.
Dude, this guy's got he's got a Smokey the Bear hat. But he's
got his Glock. He's got a taser. He's got a bullet lock. Yeah.
And he's got a bulletproof vest. Yeah, Mickey says
Mickey said that's why he's asking for permission.
No kidding. Mickey says are you wearing a vest or? You look
really buff. I'm sure you she's like, this is making you look
really I thought you went to that. Why? Of course you go to
the gym. You look really good. But are you are you wearing a
vest? ossifer of course the guy's a to tour Iraq veteran.
Luckily he took advantage of the GI Bill. Elon was able to get a
job but he also he was complaining like they're cutting
20% of the National Park budgets. And guess what the
budget consists of people and people and a couple of tries to
screw job. Yeah, total screw and it got like, five guys for
750,000 acres or something like that. I don't know what it is.
That sounds a little big actually. How big is Joshua
Tree? Do you think?
I don't know, I have no idea when he visited once.
It's so beautiful. Anyway, look at Mickey sees.com to see some
of her art, right? You can't call them pictures anymore.
They're just art. So we want to thank everyone for for
supporting the show. And we're gonna need a lot of support.
Again, the Class C motorhome does about eight miles to the
gallon. But there's only a 55 gallon tank on this thing. By
the time you get going, it's time to refill.
Yeah, it's like a bit like a 747 I'm telling is like, Ah,
so we're gonna need a lot of help. And, you know, and so will
when we're out on the road, mid July, I think you're right,
we're bringing a whole bunch of Lady Gaga cut out CDs, and we're
gonna be selling them just to make up for gas money, signing
them have a Justin Bieber CD, here you go
with my signature. Are you gonna sign Justin Bieber?
No, why don't you? Why don't you pre produce that you signed
Justin Bieber at home and then ship them to me and I'll sign
out them and Mickey will sign them and it's gonna be great.
We're very, very excited. So thank you all so much. We highly
appreciate it. As you know, we don't take any commercials. This
is the new model. This is and by the way, a model that's being

reminder, the show is coming to you this summer, wherever you

good foundation tour 2008 hot pockets, pockets. So John, some
very important information reached me. And this is a
throwback to clips we've been playing throughout the past
couple weeks. And a question I had it was an asked John
question. And he didn't have an answer for me. But we do have an
answer now and I appreciate the multiple no agenda producers who
went out and did the research consulted the book of knowledge.
So one more time we will play the clip of Lucifer Hillary
Clinton and the picture that rocked the world with her hand
in front of her mouth in the Situation Room and the key
information in this clip. This by the way is the hottie from
France, who was asking the question one more time about
sama bin Laden.
Can I show you this picture you know It seemed the situation.
Yes, I
remember I saw that pic. I didn't know it was being taken
at the time, but I saw it later. So you are holding your hand
in front of your mass. Yes. You think at that moment who you
pride in? What did you see?
I don't I don't know how to describe it other than it was a
very intense period. The operation went on for 38
minutes.
Okay, that's the key bit there. And of course, what did I say on
this very program? On Thursday? I said, one of these days we're
going to figure out why this 38 minutes is so important. She
says it in every single interview. 38 minutes 38
minutes. Well, John, I have the answer. Yes, go. According to
the book of knowledge, Wikipedia. The Stargate will
remain open Solahart will remain open so long as matter or energy
continues to pass through it to a maximum of 38 minutes. Beyond
this point, massive amounts of power are needed to sustain a
wormhole which ordinary sources cannot provide. Where did you
get this from the book of knowledge from Wikipedia look up
Stargate
38
You know, you're looking at Stargate. Go look at Stargate.
So wait a minute what you're implying Hold on a second hold
on a second. I'm
not implying the book of knowledge tells all truth.
No, no, you're implying that they weren't really even looking
at the bin Laden thing. No, they weren't. No, they were they were
watching the Stargate
open up Yes. Or maybe the Stargate was there at Bin Laden
but they were really worried because the Stargate was going
to close and they had to get anything that was going in or
out to the wormhole. They had to get it done within those 38
minutes. That's why it was the most intense 38 minutes ever.
So you're you're now making the assumption that the movie star
gate is actually a documentary.
I'm not making no assumption. All I'm doing is consulting the
book of knowledge and taking it verbatim for the truth that
everyone else takes it for. John, one thing I no
coincidence? I think not. There are no coincidences like that,
my friend. They might have been the Stargate in Libya could have
been the Stargate in the Gulf of Aden. We're not quite sure one
thing we do know, she was worried that the Stargate was
going to close before whatever had to go through it came
through it. And that's why it was the most intense 38 minutes
of her life.
Apparently Drusilla the sister of Caligula only lived to be 38
No, I'm not looking at a no no, this is not how it works.
It's a book of knowledge my friend. Someone sent me a great
headline. Bad bling. This is an ask John segment. Can you guess
what the guest the story to the headline? Bad bling. Bad bling,
bad bling.
Tungsten filled gold amulets. Nope.
Lindsey low hands electronic monitoring bracelet had to be
replaced after it malfunctioned.
What did it do burner
it didn't know it didn't work. So they she had to take it to
the shop and they had to chisel it off and put a new one on.
This is her alcohol monitoring blood bracelet. I wonder how
they know it didn't work. Huh? We're not getting any readings
from Lindsay. It must be malfunctioning. But for them to
call it bad bling. This is indeed the new bling. If you
want to be a rally. Yeah, that's
a good one. Outstanding catch.
If you want to be a hip hopper, bling, you got to have a
bracelet.
Um, yeah, that would be cool. You could be sneaky. Go to the
clubs and you could have this bracelet around your leg and
everyone thinks you're cool. Yeah.
Did we not say exactly this? Did we not say when this first
happened with Lindsay Lohan. We said this is the meme. They're
setting it up. It's going to be cool to have the bracelet and
here
you have to pay for by the way which which takes you out of the
prison system so they have to pay for you being in there a and
b you end up having to you have to pay for the damn bracelet.
Yeah, well yeah. What's your problem? It's great though. I
wish we would somebody please make these we need the no
agenda. Get my nation bling bracelet. It can be just be
plastic. I mean doesn't have to have any actual components in
there. Although that would be even better.
It should be Blinky.
That's right. We should have like the the gold plated with
the incrusted with diamond eex Hey masma bracelet. So
while we did have that one Indian donor which is extremely
rare, in fact, I think we probably should have We have
like three or four Indian donors, which makes us like very
exceptional. Yeah. I put together a clip award called
India is fucked up.
Can I just say one thing? Normally I'm the guy that goes
overboard on the language on the show and now you're doing it
now. It's no longer a family episode. We have to mark it in
iTunes is explicit. No, I can't bleep it
out. I wasn't just cussing. I was just telling you the name of
the clip.
Can I play it? This is from Newsnight
on the BBC.
The latest set of economic statistics from India show that
in the year to March, the economy was growing at eight and
a half percent and this was regarded in India as something
of a disappointment. As an emerging power the world's
largest democracy, India, we are repeatedly told is a success
story. But not according to the Booker Prize winning novelist
Arundhati Roy, she claims 10s of 1000s of the country's poorest
people have been killed and hundreds of 1000s tortured by
corrupt governments in the pay of big corporations. My
colleague Jeremy Paxman spoke to her this enormous change the
emergence on the world stage of a power, the likes of which has
never been seen before a voice that's never been heard before.
actually proud of that. It's
a false voice. It's a lie, a lie. And I'm not proud of it at
all. Because in the 90s, in the early 90s, when the economy
began to open, and the growth rate began to gallop, since
then, if you look at what it has done to the mass of people in
India, you have, yes, we have, I think, the world's largest
number of millionaires or billionaires, but we have 800
million people living on less than 20 rupees, which is about
30 cents a day. You have millions of displaced people,
you have more poor people in India than the poorest
countries. I'm sorry misfires in Africa.
The poverty has been halved in the last 30 years.
It's untrue. You know, it's untrue. And you go and have a
look at what's going on there. There's an insurrection in the
country. Why it isn't. In Well, in vast parts of the country,
which is out of control of the government. Now, the paragraph
is
so 800 million people living on less than 30 rupees a day. 30
cents, right?
Wow. Well, this is, you know, they, hey, send
us Your send us your rupees. Man. That's pretty bad. It's
just a little side thing. That's more than a little side thing.
That's pretty bad.
Yeah, the whole clip is which goes on and on. Is this
depressing?
Well, let me depress you even further than yay. This is from
CNBC. I believe the UK edition. They have the largest
representative from the largest LIBOR dealer from the floor of
the exchange. We want to explain what a LIBOR dealer does, John,
I don't know what a LIBOR dealer does, oh, well,
LIBOR is the London interchange bank. Something rate, maybe the
Oh was just in there just to make it a word. And what they do
is they, they swap money around based upon this, this interest
rate, which of course is pretty messed up. But listen to the
language he's using. And you might get more depressed and
start thinking about saving up some of your own rupees. Just to
be clear, what we've
got right now is almost near panic. Going out with money
managers and people who are responsible for money, they
cannot find the yield. And you don't want to just be putting
your money into commodities or things that are funds that might
work out and they might not depending on what happens with
the economy. You we need to find real yield and real returns on
these assets. So when you're flocking to you see bad data,
you see the treasuries rally, you see all bonds and all fixed
income rally. And then the people who are betting against
US economy, they start throwing money at getting bearish on
stocks to huge mistakes, interest rates are amazingly
low. And that, thanks to Ben Bernanke is driving everything,
you know, I keep making them point. You know, there's a
difference between Ben Bernanke and Harry Houdini. Ben Bernanke
is not a magician. We're on the verge of a great, great
depression. The Fed knows it. We have many, many homeowners who
are totally underwater here and cannot get out from under the
technology frontier is limited right now. We definitely have an
innovation slowdown.
So there you go. We have
we're on the brink of a great depressing report you've ever
heard
the great, great depression and the only difference between Ben
Bernanke and Harry Houdini is Harry Houdini wasn't music and
magician LIBOR is is not lesbian Borg's as someone suggested on
the chat room is the London Interbank Offered Rate. And
LIBOR of course sets. The Of course, like anyone I'm talking
about sets the interest rates. And this guy sounds pretty
panicked.
He didn't say I did.
I can't believe you got you. Didn't you discuss this with
Dvorak on your little show over there?
I am. DeVore I believe it or not, I
mean, Horowitz?
Not this particular thing? No.
Shall I send you that clip I'd like to I like I'd like to get
his it'll but by the way, all of the clips you hear on the no
agenda show are also available in the assets section of the
show notes. 310 dot n a show notes.com. And I have a service
I have a little bone to pick with you. All right, a bone
light. So I'm reading my favorite website when it comes
to technology PC mag.com.
Not divorce.org/blog
No, no, no, that's if I that's what I do show prep. Now. Okay.
A little article penned by a certain John C. Dvorak, Sony
hacker attack has deeper meaning. And I quote from the
article, I've got nothing. If I were to hazard a guess it would
be that a hacker is a single young male with good hacking
skills. A lone wolf with a personal grudge? Are you trying
to get me locked up? My friend? What are you trying to do here?
I can't believe I can't believe you threw in a lone wolf meme on
PC mag.com
I'm throwing more memes in as we go. Perfect. Good job, Wolf.
Good job,
my friend. Good job. Very funny.
So yeah, you can find that column and others at PC mag.com.
Yeah. Right. Exactly. So I got a couple of interesting clips. So
the Virginia Attorney General, who's the guy who took on the
Obama administration's Obamacare, by him and a bunch of
other guys are suing left and right by calling
it an economy by calling it unconstitutional, right?
Yeah, well, actually, I got two clips from him where he's
blasting the EPA, but then he would like to play both of them.
But let's start with the clip I would normally play second what
but it is the FCC clip and tell me if you knew about this,
you know, you who were here for a reason we being the state, the
Commonwealth of Virginia, and coming to a an internet near you
this summer. The FCC, this is the most brazen one of all, the
FCC is going to roll out again. An order to regulate the
internet. Oh, oh, my god. Why is this the most brazen, one of
all, for one simple reason. A year ago, in 2010, they had a
court ruling telling them they couldn't do this. They thought
about it and said, we'll do it anyway. It's just a court
ruling. Talk about a brazen disregard disdain for the rule
of law. Now, we may not like what courts do all the time. But
there's got to be a place where our contests are refereed and
fought out. This administration doesn't just disrespect States
doesn't just disrespect federal law doesn't just disrespect the
United States Constitution. But they also have no respect for
the courts of this country. It's amazing. It is amazing. And this
ruling this order is what they call it coming this summer, in
my view is the most brazen one of all because of that, because
they have crossed one more line, so brazenly, so it's, it's I'm
glad to tell you there are attorneys general, especially
that got elected in 2010. All over the country, who are now
stepping up to the plate and playing a role in defending the
Constitution. The rule of law in their states in our Federalist
system is
wow. Let me do the trailer. Let me do the trailer. coming this
summer. Lock down your modems it's FCC regulation. 2011.
Well, we will have the licenses.
Yeah, I mean, that's the beauty of it. We have your podcast
license, go to pod light podcast. licensed.com. Actually,
John, I need you to put to link up on divorce iq.org/na.
I'll do it. As soon as the show's over. I'll create a link
and I'll send you a copy to put it on that site too.
Yes. Because we need, we need, we need the podcast licenses to
propagate, you'll get your podcast license at podcast
licensed.com. And when the when the FCC regulations come down
and someone's knock on your door, said, Hey, excuse me
ossifer Can I just show you my podcast licensed side by the pod
father and John Hancock himself. Wow. So
you might want to play it. The funny thing is, most of the
clips I collected which I haven't played too many of it
yet are depressing involve the government going overboard by
doing it. Apparently the Department of Energy has a whole
bunch of stuff on C span hours and hours of material. The
Department of Energy decided on its own to shut down Yucca
Mountain, what is Yucca Mountain Yucca Mountain is where they're
going to put all the spent uranium fuel because it was the
deem the best place in the whole country where it would be safe
you know earthquake proof and it's not going to leak and all
the rest of it and and it may or may not be controversial that
they were going to do this but they decided against all the
legal precedents and their own Commission's and everything else
is just to do this. And they're started they should not only
shut it down but they abandon the side let a bunch of stuff go
it's like a complete disaster. I have two clips that kind of
relate to this but play the short clip versus the Energy
Department goes rogue.
Oh, hold on a second. You didn't mess me up. I was ready with the
Virginia Attorney. Okay, got it Energy Department goes rogue
that are documented in the April report of the GAO, including
disbanding of the Office of civilian radioactive waste
management that had managed the program. Like others, we have
questioned the legal and administrative authority of the
Department of Energy to disband this office. As you know, the
Department of Energy requested no appropriations for the waste
program for fiscal year 220 11 or 2012. Except for support for
the Blue Ribbon Commission on America's Nuclear Future. Yet
when the Nuclear Energy Institute and the National
Association of regulatory utility commissioners suggested
that the Secretary of Energy suspend fee payments by
utilities to the nuclear waste fund in 2009, that was denied
with an unconvincing pronouncement that all fees are
essential. Nehru and nai have appealed that decision to the
Federal Court of Appeals, which is pending, we can only
speculate how much time and money it will take the US to be
ready to accept spent nuclear fuel for disposal if it is other
than Yucca Mountain, but it's likely to be decades, it seems
essential then that we seek out and develop one or more central
interim storage facilities to take us fuel from the nine sites
where reactors are currently shut down. And the property
cannot be decommissioned and returned to other productive
uses. Because the waste remains such as the former Big Rock
Nuclear Power Plant in Michigan. Regardless of what storage
transportation or disposal solutions, the Blue Ribbon
Commission may recommend, they will need certain and reliable
financing support concerning the financial impacts of the term of
terminating of Yucca Mountain. A more predictable funding
mechanism. Or is that anyway,
it just goes on and on. Now, so what's interesting to me about
this and avoid these echoes now completely out of control. I'm
sorry, I'm gonna call you right back. Okay. Okay.
Ladies and gentlemen, like this is going to be any better,
right? Might be okay. Do I have to hang up? Or?
Oh, hang on, I'm gonna hang up.
I hung up on you. I don't care about you. I hung up on you
already. And now of course, Sir, here we go. Let's see if this
works. Is the echo any better? I don't know. It's not it's no,
it's worse is worse, reappear? Okay, here
we go. Let's let me just finish. I watched all these hearings.
And one of the things that cropped up was the and by the
way, this was both Democrats and Republicans, both of them
reaming, the Department of Energy spokes told who came they
wouldn't bring the secretary because he wasn't going to put
up with this. And here's an example of a Democrat giving it
to the Department of Energy first, by the way, this the
shutdown of Yucca Mountain is costing the taxpayers $25
billion with no alternative, creating a mess in the entire
country, basically, but play the reaming the Department of
Energy. This is a Democrat who is me to get his name. It's it's
Inslee for Democrats in Washington State.
Thank you. This is very disturbing. On a couple of
bases, one is in my State of the State of Washington. We have
people very diligently trying to follow their obligations legally
and in their profession getting this waste ready to ship to
yucca. They're going to be ready just to ship 9700 canisters to
yucca, they're doing their job. But the department's not doing
its job. Now, that's not a local concern. But on a national
concern, I just think this situation is one of a failed
state, you know, they talk about failed states around the world.
This, because of the failure to follow the clear law here. This
is the equivalency of a failed state. We reached a national
decision. It is unpopular in one local part and a beautiful part
of the country, as it will be any part of the country that we
ever have this decision made. And yet we can't execute a
decision. Now this, this sort of flagrant statement that social
acceptance is now a legal criteria. I don't understand. I
just ask Dr. Lyon, how are we ever to build anything like a
nuclear waste repository? Anyone
can stop it.
This is why I usually interrupt the clips that you play because
they like put me to sleep.
While I know. But at least it's at the end of the show. And I
interrupted myself. Yeah. But the point is, is that this is
going on, and it's kind of interesting. And it that's what
it swings back and relates to what the Virginia Attorney who's
actually kind of entertaining, says about the EPA, which he
calls the employment prevention agency. Blast them, because
here's what's happening. And I don't want to get into too many
details. But we have to start following this is that the Obama
administration apparently is not following either the court that
tells it to do something, it's not following the laws, it's not
following its own commissions. It's just going rogue on
everything.
That's a surprise.
There's no agency in the federal government, that so egregious ly
ignores their own rules, and the laws in place to bound their
authority, and it is already vast authority. But no, that's
not enough. That's not enough. Lisa Jackson, the administrator,
which is that title of the head of the EPA said in December of
2009, I'm out to transform the American economy. And I've got
the 15,000 people at the EPA who are ready to help me do it,
period full stop and have statement. No mention of keeping
the environment clean in that statement, transform the
American economy. Yay. They know what they're doing, and how
they're doing it. And again, we are in the last line of defense
here. More recently, you may have read about the National
Labor Relations Board working with Alan Wilson, Attorney
General in South Carolina, to fight the NLRB in their attempt
to gut the right to work to keep those 22 states that are free of
compelled unionization, free of compelled unionization.
Yeah, that's lovely.
Anyway, I just thought I'd cheer you up there with that kind of
stuff.
Yeah. Let me call you back again. And then don't ever call
for a reconnect on Skype. Because it just wants so bad.
It's horrible. I'm just going to disconnect. This is what you get
on the road. Get used to it for the next 20 years. Everybody
what it's going to be it's what it is. It's what it's at. Hello.
Yeah. Hello. Hello. So I guess just to get rid of the Echo, we
just have to regulate your volume. They're turned on your
speakers when you're talking or something?
No, actually, the weird thing about this echo. Is is that it's
louder than you are.
Well, that makes no sense. I know. Let me let me try
something here. Hold on. It'll be worth it. We just try
something Hold on a second. 1212. Okay. Does it change
anything?
Let's see testing. 123. Nope, not a thing.
You still have an echo?
Yeah, I said it's louder than you. Right.
So what you need to do is when you talk turned on your
speakers, and then when
I know I could do that, but the problem is, and I'll never hear
you if you come in.
Well, why don't we say over?
Over Hello, John over.
Hey, I want to make a call out to the producers right now.
Something very important you need to do Google Video is
shutting down there, the you know, the taken off everything
to deleting everything. So there's tons of really important
stuff up there. I just found out about this. I don't have the
bandwidth to do it. Please. Right now somebody or somebody's
go to Google Video. Search for Boystown conspiracy of silence.
It's a documentary it's a documentary that never aired, I
believe done by either ITV or channel four and get my nation
East. And download that and keep it safe. Because this is the
documentary about elites in Washington and their misuse of
their abuse. I should say if Children and the Boys Town USA
Conspiracy of Silence documentary is a must have for
for many generations to come. Particularly because it's only
been aired on the interwebs at at Google. So please go and
download that. It's incredibly important.
Over Yes. The only place you have I've ever seen it.
Yeah, no, it's I don't think it's available anywhere else.
And of course, everyone's like, Yeah, I saw that documentary
man's or Google video. But you've got to download it. We've
got to keep these this somebody.
Yeah, there's ways of doing that, too. And so the other
thing, the Monsanto documentaries on there, yes,
exactly. So that's, I have not seen that anyplace else. That
has to be download important
one. And there's a here's a little interesting ditty I got
from one of our producers. Robert, now I've been talking
about the solar flares. And of course, we're going to see
increased solar activity that happens every 11 years. And I
believe that that is part of the reason we had these power
fluxes, although the power companies immediately blame it
on the squirrels. And another producers sent us a note and
said, Yeah, you know, I know a guy that works with the power
company, they always keep a dead squirrel around this a squirrel
did it. So they can't blame the power company. But you know that
it was really and John, I think you even agree that that's
probably possible. They're doing that they blame it on steroids.
Yeah, exactly. So Adam, I just listen to the latest show and
wanted to share some info our US cloud is based in Vegas, I won't
give the name out to protect the innocent. It's on a huge power
networking hub. These guys are spook Central. By the way, it
crazy tier four facility, they serve places like area 51.
Anyway, they let it slip that Fox networks are moving all of
their distribution for the US transferring them from satellite
to IP transit. That means instead of bouncing stuff off of
the satellite, they're going to be distributing all of their
programming through Internet Protocol through wires, tubes.
They explain this because they expect significant solar flare
activity in 2012 and 2013. To the extent that satellite
transmissions would be unviewable so I think that's a
pretty, pretty dire warning there that we're going to have
some real outages coming if Fox is doing that.
Yeah, yes. Interesting.
Yeah. And I appreciate our producer sending us that note.
Yeah. So that's about it for me.
Really, I got a couple more things.
I got one thing I got a couple of things too, but I can hold
them here please do away I got well listen to one ad, because
we talked about the education system in this country. Play the
trade school clip and tell me what you think. I should do this
maybe.
Oh, sounds like John was looking for a gig. Okay. Hold on a
second.
Here we go. This guy is Donnie hold breath. He was a staff
sergeant to the US Air Force. First of all, he used to deliver
flowers if you could believe that. And this is Michael Chico
and he used to work construction. What are these
guys have in common? They all ride Harley Davidson
motorcycles. They all used to do something else and they all
follow their dream to motorcycle Mechanics Institute. Today.
These guys are all in the Harley Davidson program offered at MMI.
Their training to work on an American legend Harley Davidson
motorcycle MMI is the only 24 week training program developed
with and approved by Harley Davidson University. It's
designed to set you up for a career working in Harley
Davidson dealerships and it works MMI places more Harley
Davidson technicians into jobs than any other school.
I'm John Rafi, a Harley Davidson instructor here at motorcycle
Mechanics Institute. These students will tell you this
isn't work. The passion keeps the legend alive by
Harley Davidson program at MMI. Visit MMI tech.edu or call today
to receive a digital brochure
you Amen.
You know, first of all, I would love to go to Harley Davidson
university and get my degree in chemistry.
Yeah. Better Living Through Chemistry.
You know what's what kind of was fascinating to me about that ad,
besides the fact that it was a piece of crap. Is that Well, who
comes up with the idea of having this deep voice guy read this
kind of copy? I usually just like, wow, well, it's
supposed to be manly. You know, it's like,
you want to look at this guy. He's John C. Dvorak. He used to

not ADR additional dialogue recording. And she got a
residual check for like 900 bucks for doing a Really? Yeah,
for doing insert, she got paid for the session, you know, at
scale, so I can tell you that, you know, it's like, I don't
know, it's like, it's not bad. It's like 1500 bucks for doing
the session. She goes in there and does a couple words, you
know? Like some Berkeley mumbling or I don't know, I
think we're stupid. We missed the episode. So I wanted to hear
it. I wanted to hear her voice. And, and then she gets a
residual check for the first airing line on her boxes. I'm
like, Wow, I'm sitting here doing a podcast in a 90 degree
heat in a van. I need to do ADR voiceover work.
This is no good. You too, can be a Harley rider get on your
car in the wrong business.
But we got to license that's all I know. We gotta license anyway.
Be very afraid. Stop. Be very afraid the killer jellyfish are
here
are invading the Florida coast more than 1600 people stung just
in the last week alone by a type of jellyfish that is rarely
found in American waters. Scientists say changing weather
patterns may be to blame. The niece is in Cocoa Beach,
Florida. Yeah, well
hold on a second. We have a jingle for that. There you go.
Yeah, changing weather patterns. And of course, these are the
same people who tell you that climate is not weather. Climates
not weather. But changing weather patterns are bringing
the jellyfish out to kill. Yeah. 1600 people stung
was not good. Yeah, no, jellyfish are nasty. Oh,
especially the man award jellyfish.
Oh, they'll kill you. Yeah, exactly. They will kill you. So
that's why people should get guns and just shoot them.
That the video on this thing which you can find the show
notes 310 dot na shownotes.com The video is out. I mean, just
they go out in a boat. And it's just like the whole sea is
filled with jellyfish.
Yeah, I know. You got to shoot him shot.
I'm going to take a dip. Hold on a second. All right, you can get
in the water now. No problem. And Condoleezza Rice, who has
been out on a promo tour? She'd been Yeah, I guess. Now we kind
of are starting to understand why she was out like, by the way
new mean? New Meme alert building the brand. This is what
everyone's talking about. Sarah Palin. Have you noticed this
meme?
She's building her brand and picked up on it as a meme. But
you're right and she's building
her brand. And like what and by the way, you know there's
something going on with the with the Sarah Palin stuff. I think
that she's her brand building is so successful. That's why they
launched this rumor that Miss Mickey handed this to me
yesterday. She's helping out with the show prep. Hey, Sarah
Palin is getting a divorce. And I really so I think that this is
a an attack launched against her because she's getting too much
ink. She's getting more ink than Boehner. Certainly bigger ink on
the same guy.
Ah, I noticed I noticed that on one of the right wing talk shows
they were complaining about this. Because apparently when
like Romney announces in most of the ink goes to Sarah. They're
now they're getting a little annoyed.
Yeah, so they launch a rumor. That's exactly what you do. And
please people believe me, this is how it works. It's like we
got to stop her. We got to get we got to turn it around. What
are we going to do call Hill and Knowlton? Don't worry, we'll
take care of it. We're gonna launch a rumor that she's
getting a divorce. You know, the press loves that. We had the
Boehner in the boxers and now we're going to do the divorce
and leaving the first dude is what we'll call it. Yeah,
there's your meme. divorcing the first dude. But building the
brand is, is the new meme. And Condoleezza Rice. Condoleezza
Rice has been building her brand. And now we know why, of
course, do you know what her job was? Before she became Secretary
of work? And I'm sorry, she was. What was her title? What she was
she Secretary of Defense. State State. Sorry. You know what her
job was before she became Secretary of State for George W.
Bush. piano tuner? Yes. Correct. You're right. At piano tuner at
the Chevron Corporation. She was on the board of directors at
Chevron.
Why Why would she be on the board of directors? Well, she
was
going to be a secretary of state you know and being listen, you
know, there's so much going on with all this oil stuff, which
of course is unstoppable and it's not just the stuff you put
in your car I mean, this whole RV Amin is made of oil the
computer I'm using everything oil is everywhere. You can't get
away from it stop the economy is the basis for the our economy
Yeah, it's what we roll on. All the plastic all of everything,
all the you know your lotion. Yeah, everything and we drive
through Have these windmills on the way that we went down to
Palm Springs before going to Joshua Tree just taught and I'm
like a futile as few times as a scam. If you think that
seriously, each of those things cost $200,000 And it's all
subsidized. Hey, great. I gotta get in on that. And the railroad
is running right alongside nice anyway. Yeah, Mickey took
pictures Mickey sees.com You got to see it you stop
at the outlet mall. Darn. That little man was looking for the
scenic overlook and half the country a lot of casinos down
that way, by the way. Oh, yeah. Anyway, so here's Condoleezza
Rice, she's at an event. And guess what kind of event she's
at.
It was billed as an initiative to promote the leadership of the
United States to develop economically communities around
the world, and featured former Secretary of State Condoleezza
Rice partnering with Chevron, one of the largest oil companies
in the world,
we can help countries to begin to build the infrastructure that
can attract and properly use private investment and business
development, which then produces the jobs for its people.
While the launch was short on details, there were many
references to the important role the US had to play in improving
welfare around the globe. Global welfare may not be something
that pops into the minds of citizens around the globe, when
they hear the name Condoleezza Rice, more commonly associated
with supporting President George W. Bush's invasions of
Afghanistan and Iraq.
You don't want another Afghanistan out there. You don't
want the northern border of Mexico to look like a failed
state. You don't want Yemen to as it's doing right into civil
war and become the new Somalia or the new Afghanistan.
You don't want that slave. Listen to what we say. You don't
want that. You want what we have to offer. So this is how it
works. You work at Chevron. You get all set up, all geared up
all liquored up, all lawyered up, all greased up, and then you
go and you become Secretary of State and you go in, you invade
a couple of countries, and then you go out and then you take
over. And now Hillary Clinton, along with the Deputy Secretary
of State Tom knights, same department as Condoleezza Rice,
are hosting a group of corporate executives this morning, I'm
sorry. This was Friday morning. As part of the Iraq Business
Roundtable, where corporate executives from approximately 30
major US companies, including Citi Group, JP Morgan's Chase,
Goldman Sachs, are joining with us and Iraqi officials to
discuss economic opportunities in the new Iraq. Is it a total
economic hitman total takeover? Where's our news media on this?
This is egregious. egregious. It's a good word right? But that
word so we've got here's the here's the company's Bell
Helicopter, Cargill, Caterpillar, Chevron, Citigroup.
FedEx course we need to fly stuff in quick. General Electric
Goldman Sachs, Halliburton, JP JP Morgan Chase, KBR. Already
there, Lindsay Corporation, Lockheed Martin, Microsoft
Monsanto's National Association of Homebuilders. Hey, John. We
can probably pick up a nice SUV lot. Occidental Petroleum
Schlumberger, Tupperware Tupperware,
another we'll go door to door,
yeah. Hello, Achmed, Mohammed here. Would you like to buy some
Tupperware? ventec it's a it's a party, that doing their own
Tupperware party of a rack. Hey, want to buy some Erec is
disgusting, and I'm ashamed. I'm ashamed. That's your Obama
administration. Right there, everybody. Hello, everybody buys
from Iraq. And then
I think we did a great show today. We did. We got depressing
economic information corruption. Yeah.
You're screwed human resources. You're screwed.
That just no good news.
Well, no, there is I had more on I got good
news. I got a good news clip.
You got a good news? Is it I had another hexa Foos?
No, no, the EU is still partying and hearty. Okay, hold
on. Eu parties. You know what my hands are so sweaty, I can't
even operate the trackpad.
Now, these are tough times for all of Europe. In fact, they're
so tough that amid all the sounds of belts being tight The
European Union is asking member governments to finance an
increase in the EU budget. It is curious then that it turns out
certain parts of the EU gravy train appear to have no shortage
of gravy, people Grosman reports These are difficult times. But
let us put your mind at rest on one concern that may be keeping
you awake at night. Don't worry, the EU isn't having to cut back
on its parties. According to a report by the Bureau of
Investigative Journalism in 2009 loan, the commission spent over
300,000 euros on cocktail parties, including 75,000 euros
on one particularly juicy sounding bash in Amsterdam.
staged by the EU's research executive agency. This event was
apparently billed as quote a night filled with wonder like no
other state of the art technology, challenging art
combined with trendy cocktail surprising performances and top
DJs. We've attempted to recreate just such an event but shall we
say we hit budgetary constraint and we couldn't attract any real
Euro type celebrities. Perhaps because unlike the European
Commission, we haven't got any fabulous gifts to offer. Between
2008 and 2010. The commission spent over 20,000 euros showing
some special individuals just how much it cares. And it also
cares in the air 7.4 million euros on private jets for the
Commissioners and their advisors between 2006 and 2010. We've got
cheese and pineapple Keyline buys one of the team who put
together the report.
What we did find were large sums of money which were attributed
to what the commission calls natural persons or confidential
expenditure. This is when they feel that to publish what the
expenditure would you be used for as a security problem or may
reveal somebody's identity who doesn't want to be known as this
large sums of money? We're talking millions and hundreds of
millions of euro.
The commission has disputed this version of events in a statement
they say the European Commission is not prepared to give
credibility to the totally misleading claims made by the
Bureau of Investigative Journalism. They go on the big
has omitted the countless explanations the commission is
provided to explain the legitimate expenses that it
incurs. One thing though, is definitely true. While EU member
states are having to cut back the amount of money they spend
the EU and its institutions are pressing for more cash to spend.
First, the European Commission doesn't have to respond to
voters it's not elected. Secondly, I think there is a
desire in in in Brussels and in the European institutions to be
seen as very important to be seen as influential. And
therefore they had a bit of a of an obsession with gestures with
ceremonious was with these kind of things that we're seeing them
now spend money on rather than actually come up with policies
and solutions which sentences citizens have asked for
I love at Europe is I love I love that they interviewed Mr.
Oil at the end there that clip Yeah.
So anyway, so they get the party on.
Yeah, there you go. That's your elites in Brussels, everybody.
Everybody in the United States of Europe. They're spending your
money on hookers and blow a you know who that you know, they got
that from it got taught to them by our American elites.
Yeah, we know how to do it. Yeah, we
know how to party. We know how to use jets. Not a problem.
Well, I think despite some echo issues, which we'll figure out
and we'll deal with, and a little bit of phasing and fading
in and out on the Skype, I think we can probably get through the
next 20 years this way, John, as I moved my entire life to the
rig.
I think you should just go for it and sell the or not sell but
just abandon
abandon the hilltop crack power crack
apologists. just abandon the center, send the
keys back to the landlady.
And then take off and just go
for it to the porn industry. We'll be happy to have the house
back.
Yeah, probably
aren't everybody. So we do need your support for this program.

like that. Just send us your cash and is highly appreciated
