July 10 2011 times you get my nation media assassination

Buzzkill. Sorry about that. What was that? misfire? Yeah,
so we had a Mickey's birthday party last night?
Yeah, I was gonna come down for that.
Yeah. No, you weren't? Yeah. Mickey even said when she sent
out the invites two months ago. Should I invite John? I don't
think you should worry.
I think the invite would have reminded me to come down if
anybody didn't get it. So yeah, no, you
got the invite.
So what about it, so I wasn't how happy birthday to Mickey.
Yeah,
her birthday was Friday.
And add her to the birthday call out. Let's add my daughter too.
She's hers is coming up on

Mickey on on Thursday show. Okay. Don't you remember?
I'll put my daughter on.
Hold on. Hold on. Let me just put it in here. Jay. Jay, I
can't believe buzzkill Jr. didn't do that.
Yeah, well, you never like me doesn't keep track of birthdays
very well.
Yes, he is indeed. A bit like you. But anyway, it was really
nice. Because every single except for like 454 Who canceled

And was everybody
though? I mean, just locals. I mean, Jay some Yeah, fly in from
out of town.
Bollywood flew in from out of town. She's here. She's in my
bed right now.
Oh, that must have been fun.
You know that the studio is of course. The studio is right in
the spare bedroom, ie Mickey's closet where the arrow bed
resides. And unlike Hey, Molly, you know, baby. Yeah, unless you
want to like get to like crackpot and Buzz killed you may
want to move it out. So, but it was good. No, it was it was a
good party man. And Mickey had a DJ and and all beautiful people
of course. She She only knows beautiful people. And and the
cop says shut us down, which was kind of it was unbelievable.
She'd gone to every single neighbor invited them. Now most
people here are not. They're too old. And so I Yeah, a couple of
neighbors showed up. But she had said now we're going to do a
little party. And it was oh, that's cool. Great. Thanks for
letting us know. And then the cops come at 10 past 110 Just
one Yeah, some guy from across the canyon.
You guys must have been awfully loud.
Well, I think the music was like hitting the back wall and then
probably going all the way down to the Hollywood Bowl. I don't
know. Because a lot of bass. We had the subwoofer pumping one
party in a year and a half. And then the cops show up. Yeah,
well and Mickey actually thought for a second. Oh, did you order
strippers? Someone that's take your clothes off, but they were
okay. They're like Hollywood cops. You know
what? Well, you won't have this problem that way. Actually, you
probably will have the problem in Vegas. No, man.
We're gonna be in the desert. We're going tonight. We're gonna
go for a quick day trip tomorrow we're gonna look at places to
live in Vegas
for a place that doesn't have a lot of nearby neighbors. Yeah,
well that's it's I think that's kind of hard it's all these
weird communities. Anyway, hey in the morning to you Johnny Boy
as young close
to you and all the ships at sea I want to say hello and also to
the feet on the ground and the feet in the air and everybody in
between
them the boots up your butt and of course everyone in the chat
room live as we stream this twice a week no agenda
stream.com no agenda chat.net Good to see you all there
charged up and ready to go exactly the way your government
loves you. So the it's done, done deal. What marijuana is
officially not only useless and yet completely useless. The
report is out. Two reports came out. We had the I love the USA
today had it was you know it's like real coincidental how this
how this news propagates throughout the compromised
media. USA Today reports on a memo from the US Department of
Justice in Washington which is state laws allowing medical
marijuana has opened up the door to abuses and calls for legally
targeting large to get large scale privately operated
industrial marijuana cultivation centers as well as distribution
operations known as dispensaries. So this is it this
is the Obama administration just saying screw y'all. We don't
care what you feel is the state where the federal rallies are
coming in. And I for one can't wait to see Jerry Brown call out
the California National Guard and defend us against the Feds
Brown will do it. Yeah, sure. He's old enough he doesn't care
he's got no future he's not running for president. He's
gonna tell him to shove it you watch?
You really think so? That would restore my colleagues? Really?
Yeah, they're not gonna put up with this state of California as
long since really led the way in medical marijuana. For some
unknown reason we didn't vote to legalize and I think that's kind
of the weird thing about it floor a bowl, we have a state
filled with Democrat liberals. Yeah, it run the place, and then
they can't. And then all that my life my entire life since I was
a little kid. In California, all I heard was how he's going to be
legalized any minute. Oh, it should just be legalized. And so
they get the chance to legalize it. And they voted
no, no, let's not do that.
So anyway, but that's another story. But the fact is, it is
there is a medical use. And yeah.
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, excuse me. This is this is not
true. Let me give you the details of the report. All the
detail. I have the details. Yes. Here's the most important parts.
So first of all, now they've reclassified this. So it's now
officially as dangerous as heroin. Yeah, yeah. It's like,
yeah, my weed is just like heroin, everybody. Sure. But the
report was actually pretty funny. Here's the negative. The
top 10 Oh, we need a drumroll. Really? Top 10 negative effects
of marijuana. This is from page 10 of the report. You can find
it in the show notes at 320. Dot any show. notes.com number one
negative effect. Dizziness, nausea. Tech. Thai cardio. What
is it to cardio?
Yeah, well, I know how to pronounce it. But now that
you've said that word I can't get out of my head.
How do you pronounce it?
I have tacky Ardea No, no, it's not at a CH Why did I know the
word?
Well, what does it mean?
Means coughing or I'll look it up on the book of knowledge.
This is Yeah, please, please do that. So continuous facial
flushing dry mouth and tremors. Number two negative effects of
marijuana merriment, happiness and even exhilaration at high
doses. That's a negative is on the negative. Negative. The
negative page?
Yeah. Negative is also called arrhythmia, which is the you get
your heart going it means that's what it means. 40 er Tech Tech
car and how was it pronounced?
tecarta yet maybe? No,
it's not pronounced at CES. There's a really what should you
hear their pronunciation go? Yeah, that's it. Yeah. Oh, yeah.
I use this word all the time. Continuing at disinhibition,
relaxation, increased social ability and talkativeness. How
can this be on the bad page? I don't get it. It goes on
enhanced sensory perception, giving rise to increased
appreciation of music art and touch. This is so bad and
negative.
Heightened imagi cardio, tacky cardio cardio.
Yeah, heightened imagination, leading to his subjective sense
of increased creativity, time distortions,
and you get increased creativity.
bands on the negative page I kid you not illusions. I'm putting
you on illusions, delusions, hallucinations, especially at
high doses or Yeah, that's where we take it. impaired judgment,
reduce coordination and ataxia, which can impede driving ability
ataxia. So like when you want to drive a taxi cab or something?
It can lead to an increase in risk taking behavior. This is
That's bull crap. I mean, I was a pothead for 10 years hardcore.
I wouldn't take any risks. Like I don't really think I have the
munchies do I want to risk walking to the kitchen?
Buying peanut butter?
Emotional liability incongruity of effect dysphoria disorganized
thinking inability to converse logically, agitation, paranoia,
confusion. restlessness, anxiety, drowsiness and panic
attacks, especially in inexperienced users, or there
are those who have taken a large dose. And finally, the number 10
negative effect of marijuana increased appetite and short
term memory impairment. Please and that's actually one of the
major benefits for people who are you know taking or are
undergoing cancer treatment is increased appetite, it helps you
make you want to eat and helps you keep it down. Right so we're
crazy and this is from Obama ladies and gentlemen. I mean,
it's not from Obama derives from Obama for screw it it's from
Obama. It's just it's not it's completely and utterly nuts so
now this is like a great a top class drug.
How about you know, it's almost as though they're trying to see
how much how much how far they can go. Yeah. With Obama before
the before the democrats, the liberals and the progressives
say, hey, wait a minute.
Wait a minute. Not good. Yeah, it's an outrage and
attack she has got to do with you get so relaxed. You can't
drive I guess. I don't know.
Road you know, as as we've discussed on this show, I have
done an experiment flying a helicopter while under the
influence of marijuana
with I wouldn't need a bunch of negative
No, no, no, hold on a second. It was a test with an instructor
with a Professionally licensed instructor. And it was his idea
like hey, hey, let's see how you do. When you know whenever a
helicopter guy says hey, let's see how you fly stone it's
probably not a good idea to hop on board but not and I was
actually great. Best landing ever. So it didn't it didn't
impair my flying abilities. But I digress. Anyway so the so
that's what is this? Why is Internet Explorer opening up go
away?
You know buzzkill Jr. mentions on the go back channel that?
Well, you know, what, if you take a look at that laundry
list, good and bad, how does that compare to all those drugs
that are advertised on TV like pack Saul and all the SSRIs
those those inhibitors in terms of all these in terms of driving
in terms of also serving, they're pushing? You know,
Prozac down the throats?
That's the good stuff, man and Adderall and all that stuff. You
gotta hit give to the kids. Now, that's awesome.
Yeah, that's good. And then a weed a crummy weed that grows in
the backyard is bad. Okay.
And you know, I have a problem with our spreadsheet. today.
I'll do it just needs to be stretched open. No, no,
it's it's wanting to open in Internet Explorer. It's
Oh, I got it. I got mine. Fine. Why would an XLS one open in
Internet Explorer?
This is a very good question. Sounds like Oh, I see. Somehow
it got named XLS dot XML. Oh, geez. I change that.
JC resend him that that spreadsheet don't send anything
with it with the it probably saved it as an XML you know,
because now
No, I don't think he did. I think something screwed up here.
I can read I just want to have it for our producers. But
anyway, so that just is like that just blew me away. Yeah,
it's like
wow, no, I was amazing. You know just and then there's the thing
he won't he won't back the you know, he's busted be big, big
gape, you know, oriented president for the gays and he's
still any, he screws him on this. Don't Ask Don't Tell
thing. Oh, that's a scam. And then he refuses to back the gay
marriage thing. So, so he's full of crap. Yeah. Well, wait, are
they Republican? I'm sorry, one of the Democrats that the
progressives and the Liberals going to see through this guy or
say something, you know, they're always, you know, these are the
same people that complain, or I guess everybody complains about
all the Muslims, the Muslims, they don't complain about their
own radicals. You know, and I don't see the radicals
complaining about this, this Republican President, I
know, no one is complaining about it. And you know, for the
first time I've actually I've actually noticed that there are
hardcore Democrats who are saying, maybe it would be better
if and I love this, because this is actually something that that
we predicted. Maybe it would be better if Obama just decided not
to run for for a second term. And I'm like, Uh huh. So this is
hardcore Democrats saying this.
Yeah. Good, right. And there's another thing going on. I have a
bunch of clips we're playing throughout the show. Thomas
Friedman.
Oh the now he's, first of all, he's like a spook right? Then he
writes with flat Earth,
just say he's like one a lot of Pulitzers he's in the New York
Times. He's got a hyper, he's very flamboyant. He's on this.
He's on a lot of talk shows he's he doesn't follow the normal New
York Times reporter pattern of being kind of sedate, not saying
a lot, not showing up on everything he can. And he also
wears a white shirt instead of a blue shirt. Not that these are
indicators, but he always seems to be in like Damascus, right.
Coincidentally, in Damascus, where we're about to take
over foreign affairs columnist and he seems to have a hidden
message and everything he says. I don't know what that means
that that means he's a spook or not. But it seems to me that he
seems to be well connected. And so he was at the the this other
organization, the Aspen Institute. Oh, that sounds like
a good one. They had well, it's it's a very famous operation run
by an ex. Time magazine editor X CNN, guy. And he, it's this is
bloated with the with these characters. So now we're just on
C span. Where did you see that? Yes, it was ons Yes, indeed. And
so. And so they had this meeting, it was called the idea
festival or some crap. And so Friedman is on there basically
letting us know, in great detail what the what the litanies are,
what the things we should be looking for. And I thought one
of the more interesting one was, a seems to be some sort of a
promotion toward a third party. And he mentioned that just to
stir just to screw things up, by the way. And I don't know if it
was the level of seriousness or whatever. But if you want to
play a couple of these clips, sure, I think you'll get a
couple of interesting. Well, which one
do you want to hit? Because, well, let's
try. First of all, let's try, the throwing in our face clip is
the one I want to use later, which is just an amazing clip.
But I want to talk about third parties first. So let's play the
Friedman third party, Bloomberg douchebag clip, don't think
a third party can win for a lot of reasons. But when we say our
conclusion of the book is there's just two things will
tell you about a third party. One is it won't win the next
election. And two, if it's led by a Bloomberg, it'll have more
impact on the next president than the person who does win.
Because this remember what Ross Ross Perot won almost 20% of the
vote, you know, one point he had 40% of the polls, and he was
nuts. He thought a little black. He, he thought little black
helicopters were chasing him. Imagine, imagine that Michael
Bloomberg runs, he doesn't need a dime from anybody. He takes
his his economic plan Simpson Bowles, he attaches on to it,
you know, a carbon tax, you know, to raise money for
government research, whatever, you can imagine what the agenda
is, I tell you alter, he'll he'll get more than pros 18.9%
of the vote. And I think it would really shake up the
system. And this system needs shaking up, we are trapped, I
think in a corrupt duopoly. And, and basically, I'll tell you
this one thing about the internet and the hyper connected
world, it has flattened every hierarchy in the world, from the
New York Times, okay, to banking industry, it's flattened every
hierarchy in the world except the two party system. And that
will not remain. I that is a prediction that I will make I
think this is going to be a radical election unless in my
view, and this would be my first choice unless Barack Obama
becomes the third party candidate.
You know, takes us back to when the Whigs and the Democratic
Republican Party were corrupt back then you get a movement
that actually changes things. Let me open it up.
So if you know what was interesting before you respond
for someone to say oh, he believes in black helicopters I
think I think that's well proven and we had the so called stealth
black helicopter go pick up Osama bin Laden I mean please
Woods What do you say in here?
Well, not only that, but you know parole apparently was
threatened by some black helicopter Pretty much yeah. And
then of course, Friedman who who is a apparatchik of some sort
for some agency or someone or some group he throws in the
carbon tax thing good truth good truth to it is Lea just says and
of course we can have a third party that gets stuff done like
the carbon tax yay like Australian want yeah. Well on
that topic I don't want to take go to run all my clips to death
here but play the carbon tax clip. That's the you know, this
is going on. Yes, I
have this as a actually I don't have a clip. So I'm glad you got
one. But I was astounded by this.
In the meantime, we're closely watching what's happening here
in Australia as well. Today's the final trading session before
we get the details of the government's long awaited carbon
price or the carbon tax, whatever you'd like to call it
advertising to say a carbon price set at 23 Australian
dollars a tonne, it will be applied to 500 of the country's
top polluters. Now this is down from the 1000 that the
government was initially targeting this is because it's
exempted petrol or fuel from the common scheme, something that it
needed to do in order to get this.
How does that work?
How does that work? How was this pull? I liked the way they've
just equated this is like the renaming of the fructose corn
syrup into sugar. They've just basically renamed it the
emissions of carbon dioxide. Like when you exhale Yeah, to
pollute
pollution. Yeah, pollution, Hey, shut your piehole you're
polluting
scheme across the line from a number of those country or rural
independence. We've heard as well from Andrew Wilkie. He's a
Tasmanian lawmaker, and he says that he will be supporting the
government scheme. So as such, we don't expect to see any
hurdles through the parliament. So once the legislation is
unveiled, it's expected to make a clear passage, or we did speak
to the finance minister Penny Wong earlier on Squawk Box age.
And this is what she had to say about the government putting the
final touches on the scheme.
That what is this guy playing clips? What does he take in our
gig, which is like clearly
has been focused on is understanding that this is a
very important economic reform. It's not just an environmental
reform, it is about transforming the economy. And that means you
have to look at the nature of the market mechanism, the nature
of the price signal, and what transition arrangements had made
that you need to put in place to support industry, as well as
households through this transition.
We're also expecting to see a rather large compensation
package announced with this carbon price, it will go to
compensate some of the polluters until they get the carbon
pricing under their belt also will go to compensate households
because we're expecting to see large increases in the cost of
electricity, food prices, as well as those polluters pass
those costs on to consumers. Carolyn, back over to you.
Crazy thing is is that the new Prime Minister, I think Gaylord
had said, you know, we're not going to have a carbon tax. And
look how fast it went from, we're not going to have one too.
Well, you know,
here it is going into play. Again. They've priced it. Yeah,
the price. Here's the thing. And here's some kind of what I
didn't want to pull that whole clip because there was something
in there slightly annoying, because it was because you had
said this about three years ago. And I think you'd be I know
whether you remember or not, it's not in the Red Book. But it
would have been we didn't have a red or red book at the time,
which was that this isn't about and the guy says it Joe, she
says it right in that little clip there. She says this isn't
about doing anything about pollution or anything else. It's
about changing the economy. Yep. Which means you know, it's
changing from a, from a species based wealth based economy.
A carbon economy is from a human beings being able to survive
economy to a screw, yeah. You need to be dead.
And of course, then they also mentioned to just pass it along
to the consumers and others just jack up everybody's prices as a
way of getting more money into the tax coffers. And under a
scheme that's just bogus carbon tax, it doesn't do anything.
Because William volved with it as as cap and trade fiasco. And
the whole thing is, well, it's a no the UK they've what's wrong
with Australia?
Well, it's all part of the Queen's empire and get mo nation
east. They've now come Chris Hume the energy secretary came
out and said because of green reforms, which is of course just
code for carbon tax, energy bills will soar by 30% in
getting donation East 30% I mean, are you out of your mind?
I mean, it wasn't though isn't the whole idea of alternative
energy if you're going to talk about the energy part of oil
could like make it cheaper and better amenable Yeah,
sustainable now it's all the more expensive and who are going
to be paying these these taxes to literally to bankers, is
literally gonna go straight to bankers to like Central Central
Bank, IMF. It's nuts. They are
amazing to me that this is like the way this is lockstep moving
ahead with people just you know, blindly. You know,
it's the best time to do it when everyone's out of a job and
trying to fit You got what to do in life? That's the best time to
do it. Hello, everybody. I found out where were they program
Barak from. Okay, no, that's a. That's from Popeye. Watch,
listen, this is from Popeye from like 1950 Hello, everybody.
Hello, everybody. It's like that guy, the fat guy who's like the
the Barker, who pops up from time to time on.
I don't remember those cartoons.
That's linked in the show notes. I heard that was like, that's
him. Hello, everybody. He's a cartoon. He's a total cartoon.
Anyway. Now oh my goodness, no limit. Let me actually let me do
this. And then we should go and thank our executive producers. A
throwback to the the tweeter, the tweeter extravaganza with
Jack Dorsey. Here's what President Obama said about the
and this is one of our producers found that not this clip, and
the next one, I gotta throw it back first. Here's what he said
about the scope of the, quote, recession worse since 1929. I
think
that probably two things that I would do differently. One would
have been to explain to the American people that it was
going to take a while for us to get out of this. I think even I
did not realize the magnitude because most economists been
realized the magnitude of the recession.
Okay. So no one knew John, The Economist didn't know he didn't
know no one knew was going to be this bad. Of course, now we know
that, you know, unemployment has gone to a 9.2%. And he didn't
know how much these give worst is what the Germans used to say
in Second World War. didn't know they had no idea. Well, Christy
Romer rumor, of course, I don't like her. And she quit. Remember
that? The crazy economist woman? She is an economist, actually.
Yeah, the right. Yeah. And she
she quit. Yeah, she quit. She was doing a some paid speaking
gig somewhere. And she actually even at one point says, Oh, I
hope the cameras are off. The microphones are off.
But let me hope they catch you. Oh,
yeah, she's totally This is a total cover my ass moment. And
there's a lot of her asked to cover the
story of you know that there's a famous meeting that there was a
meeting with the president where the whole economics team flew to
Chicago to meet with him. And before it, David Axelrod had
been sort of telling us what his polling data was showing about
sort of where the American people were. And one of the
things that he said, and I don't know if we're still on tape, but
anyway, he said, you know, the American people haven't had
their holy shit moment yet where they're going to say, Oh, my
goodness, this is really a horrible recession. They hadn't
yet realized just what had hit us with the collapse of Lehman.
And so I actually started my discussion with the president by
saying, Mr. President, this is your holy shit moment that this
economy is we knew it was sick, and it is even sicker. And so
that was the context in which we were all making the case that
what people had been thinking about for the fiscal stimulus
needed to be much bigger. And I think at that point, what we had
decided was as big as Congress will do. And I think I think
that's an important thing for for people to to realize.
So sorry, Mr. President, you were told he's his lion.
He's lying a lot. Yeah,
this is his he's number one. She was the chief is a number one
economist. It's just like, wow. Okay. And then he and of course,
as you know, it's a Sunday and I always go and look at our
president show, he has two shows the Westwood wing, which was
quite boring. This week, that episode, we got to talk to the
producers. But then he has his solo soliloquy, and known as the
national address, and em and here's, here's how you talk
about what we're going through right now. Communities that
they're a part of, but our economy as a whole, just isn't
producing nearly enough jobs. For everybody who's looking.
We've always known that we'd have ups and downs on our way
back from this recession.
Do you recall him talking about the ups and downs? I recall,
we'd have no more than 8% unemployment, but its ups and
downs, or what else do we call it?
And over the past few months, the economy has experienced some
tough headwinds.
Oh, headwinds, right with headwinds
that in the mean, by the way, I want to start just a quick
aside. I want to start I want people to send me the memes that
they've noticed that we spot over it because I think we have
a long list. It's a big list. The list is huge, and I think
we've lost track of it. Yeah, I
think you're Right. Well, let me continue with Obama and in the
spokes Hold on, I'll be done with this with this whole thing
from natural disasters. Oh, it's global warming spikes in gas
prices. Hello to state and local budget cuts that have caused 10s
of 1000s of cops and firefighters and teachers their
job. How
can that how can I don't understand how that all of a
sudden becomes like the reason? Isn't that a cause? Isn't that
is that a cause or an effect of of the recession? He's saying
because of natural disasters? Because state governments were
broke? Well, yeah, but that's a part of
the recession. The problems in Greece and in Europe. That's our
problem now.
Oh, yeah, that's right, because we're part of the bailout for
Greece, almost $1 billion,
along with uncertainty over whether the debt limit here in
the United States will be raised. Oh, have also made
businesses hesitant to invest more aggressively?
No. Yeah, of course. Yeah. It's ever everyone's fault now. So of
course, when, when you got to get the message out, and Austen
Goolsbee, you know, they threw him to the lions. There was
nothing funny that he said, because, you know, I like making
fun of Austen Goolsbee, the chief economist of the whatever,
that little club the President's got going on there. But you got
to send the spokes whole Carney out. And did you see what Carney
said about this report? So for those of you who aren't
following don't live in Gitmo nation, West Coast states. The I
think we created like 18,000 jobs kind of a rounding error.
I don't think it was that it was 14, it was like nothing Canada,
by the way, the replacement rate for that we need to create based
on the population is we need to create 150,000 new jobs, no
one's right to stay
even. And notice how they've dropped that saved and created
just like we created 2 million jobs or no, it was saved or
created, remember. So now they've dropped that. But
anyway, Canada created more new jobs. I'm not not like
disparaging towards Canada. But the Hello. So corny comes out.
And here's what he says about these job numbers.
Most people do not sit around their kitchen table and analyze
GDP and unemployment numbers. They talk about how they feel
their own economic situation as they do not sit around analyzing
the Wall Street Journal or other Bloomberg to look at, you know,
analyze the numbers.
Oh, that's right. We're all stupid. We don't analyze the
numbers. We're just idiots Carney was the the hubris of
this guy. Now, most people don't need it. And what does that
number mean? It's just the number of people now they look
at your own. People pay attention to this. How could you
miss it? Every mainstream compromised news station was
talking about the number.
Yeah, all the comics are talking about. I mean, everybody was
talking about that number being so bad that nobody's going up.
Yeah,
but no, nobody ever looks at that. Now. We don't look at
that. douche nozzles, then. And by
the way, I want to mention here that people should note this.
There's a group out of San Francisco called Shadow stats.
And this is statistical analysis that I mentioned before, and I
talked about it a lot actually. Horowitz and I talked about it.
It's a group out of San Francisco that and analyze the
real unemployment numbers and other statistics that they say
are called they're called Shadow stats because they what they do
is they take the phony baloney numbers that the government has
conjured up and then looks at the real numbers and if you
based it on when we had during the Great Depression, we had 33
or 34% unemployment using those calculations today, we have in
reality 22 and a half percent unemployment. Wow. I thank
God every morning when I wake up first that I'm still alive.
That's good. Then I'm like and she's still here. And then I'm
like, I can't believe that you know, people are actually
helping us do this for living Yeah, I'm living the American
dream here of just getting just getting by but we're living at
John we're living the American dream.
So let's thank some of these people right on. Starting but

like, I'm gonna give you the paint to do the roof. Okay. But
you know, we're so excited because we're, she's allowing us
to borrow her RV for the trip, which kicks off Friday is when

taught that you do not glean the corners of your field. If you do
not glean the corners of your field, which means helping us to
help him to show you will be rewarded, meaning Leave some for
others. So I also have been listening to the audio book four
hour workweek and Tim Ferriss advises to quit listening to
news and listen to people you trust that are well informed.
Done and Don referring to us
Awesome. That's the way Yeah, that's the way it should be.
GI or guy Andy he Boise, Boise ahwazi I 33333 you have a note

Gitmo nation falafel from Israel. And I have his note
here. So I was reading a newspaper article explaining how
the US cons This is an Israel US Constitution is no longer valid
and how the fact that it is as such damaging the Israeli
interest I said no more. We have to push you guys a bit more
since you are by far the best news outlet in the world. He
says however, please stop whining you guys in the US you
have a long way to go until you get to where we are here in
Israel. Here it is legal for the government to arrest you place a
gag order and hold you almost indefinitely. He wants to go
into a restaurant, office building mall etc. Please let us
security theater start and let a 60 year old Russian speaking
person look through your stuff. And we are we're all the major
politicians are ex military guys. And so are many of the
business sector top managers middle Terror industrial complex
anyone? Hey, in the morning Hot Pockets away Geebo Ozzy, thank
you so much ghee that's highly appreciated.
And finally our last executive producer for today's show is
Steven Pels. mockers
is the Baron. The Baron of Belgium, this guy, you know,
there's a place if there's a heaven, this guy's in it. One
and he's our top patron by far
bed, the Baron it always comes through. And so that those are
our executive producers and one Associate Executive Producer for
today. And we want to thank everybody who contributes at
this level divorce.org/in A, or who mails check in, which is the
addresses available at the divorce iq.org/n A website also,
channel divorce act.com/n A no agenda nation.com And no agenda
show.com have links.
Let me just program this. And let's just program your brain
for a second here. All right.org/and a little rough.
Have you got a couple of PR things going on? And typically
this exists of people who will forward domain names to no
agenda show.com We got a couple of interesting ones. First of
all, fantastic. We've got hashtag number sign.com which is
now forwarding to the show. Of course this is a throwback to
spokes hold Carney talking about hashtag number sign ask Obama
along with the combat cinema.com It's kind of nice. This one is
great. Hello, everybody.me. Hello everybody.me is actually
forwarding to divorce.org/and. A we appreciate that peed in light
of what's going on with news of the World their last publication
today. News caught.com and news caught.co.uk. And then we have
Robert SEALs who did something very cool. I sent you a note
about this, John and probably went to your spam.
Yeah, no, I saw it. I was thinking we should push that off
to Thursday. So I could because I think we could use a couple of
extra info pieces of information on the donation page.
Well, okay, but can I talk about it now? And have everyone see it
and then get all hyped up about it? All right, go for it. So he
registered on the tweeter.com. Which of course we know where
that comes from. And you
can always follow me on Twitter. Right.
And, by the way, there's a new Twitter out there. Our Supreme
Court Justice Breyer is propagating the mean. Did I ever
try to ever tweet anything thing because I was very interested in
the Iranian Revolution. Remember when they had this uprising a
year ago and I wanted the only I sat there fascinated because you
could actually look through the tweeting and you could see what
was going on and you could see the violence. You could see
women killed. It was terrible. And I want to keep track of
that. And I sat there totally fascinated. One way you could do
it was to go through the tweeter the tweeter. tweeter
tweeter Yes. Ultra modulating the only slightly well i That's
That's what the recording was, by the way, this Supreme Court
Justice who actually believes that he saw women killed on the
tweeter. Is this country in trouble or what? Oh,
yeah. So I gotta wait. There's a clip coming up on this show. But
people don't
stay tuned. Stay tuned. So anyway, so Robert, registered on
the tweeter.com. And we've set it up. And if you go to adam.on,
the tweeter.com it redirects you to my tweeter page. And I did
for you. I just did John C. Dvorak. But I can make a John or
whatever. And I think that this is another perfect podcast
license type deal. Because you know, think about it. If we all
use our on the tweeter.com addresses, and eventually,
Tweeter, someone's gonna replace tweeter. We all know that right?
And what happens is the cycle tweeter, I tried to register
tweeter.com. But okay, so we'll get tweeter. And then only if
you as long as you propagate your your address, which you
know, no agenda show manages for you and the human resources, we
can just redirect it. So you don't have to actually lose your
cool address on your name.on the twitter.com.
So you could also go I guess, does Google Plus thing are you
on Google Plus?
I mean, I checked it out, but I don't participate in it. Are you
kidding me? That's stupid.
It is stupid. But I think if you keep cropping up, I keep
cropping up. I just got on it the other day. No, I went on,
makes it look like you're one of the very active users. I
haven't used it. I did one thing I went on. I look at the circles
I put like four people in my circles. And here's what I
noticed. So one I wanted to say happy birthday to Marc
Andreessen, who I know from back in the mtv.com days, he's the
guy that was at college and said, Hey, compile this httpd
1.3 server, I've got this thing called Mosaic. And he took me
from Gopher into the web. So I know him. So I sent him a
birthday, but I go to his page on Google Plus, then you can't
post anything like on a wall, like Facebook, which I don't do
at all, but it's like, okay, so you can't actually do anything.
And then I see Marissa Meyer pops up. And I and I want to
say, Hey, you're hot. Because he's the only hottie on on
Google Plus them, then you can't do that. So I'd like posted a
comment about her apartment or some is stupid. Anyway, so let
me just continue here. Robert sales. Thanks, seals, thank you
so much for registering that and we'll work on that as a
promotion. I think it'd be good for everyone to start
propagating our own on the twitter.com addresses. Then we
have Aaron who forwarded Jack Dorsey broomstick.com into no
agenda show. We have green government.org. Dorsey
give it took me a minute. Yeah,
yeah, we have green government.org. We don't care
about customers.com. And, yeah, that's the ones that we had. And
then finally, and you actually had a calm? Did you just Skype
me something?
Yeah, just we'll just get some business for later. Yeah. But
you know, this stuff doesn't work. It's like, I got, I got
the news. I got the new Skype. And now I can't like find
anything. Oh, so if you sent me something, but it doesn't show
up. Terrific. It's crazy. Anyway, let me know it's not
there. It's okay. Yeah, I got that one. Hi, hi, Dash
profits.com. This is from Andre. And he says, you know, there are
certain domain names, which will be worth something. Well, and I
think high profits.com could potentially be
yes, it's doing a stock market show or something like that, or
magazine.
So he says, you know, something we could do is new, we hype up
and I do I am working on a system which is coming soon,
very similar to the on the tweeter.com, where you can
actually, you know, if you register a domain name, you'll
actually get to be able to do stuff and you'll get a page
automatically from your friends at the no agenda show. And you
can create sub domains with a click of a button. And so these
domains won't just be like parked you know, and or just
forwarding to one address, you can actually create inbound
links, and it's all great for the SEO stuff, whatever. And,
and that makes your domain name valuable. And then you know,
when someone comes along, says, hey, I want to buy that, then
you can consider given the show a cut is a great way. It's a low
investment, you know, a couple bucks, seven bucks or whatever.
And then you can actually make it more valuable. And everyone
will be pointing to each other's domains. And this is how the
scams work. So we might as well participate in it. Yeah. And so,
and all right, I think I think that is it. Yeah. So again, we
highly appreciate the support of our executive producers,
Associate Executive producers, 333 club members, and everyone
who's out there doing PR for us and of course if you're out
there and you want to help us you can always go out and do
this propagate the formula. Our formula is this we go out hit
people in the mouth
sandwich everybody now shut UPS
back to work.
Back to Work indeed.
Yeah, I do have an advertisement. We'd like to play
ads once in a while and to show the data that we deconstruct
there's not because we're being paid to pay this at play this ad
but I do have an ad from Admiral
Admiral on I was looking for it. It's an ad from Admiral
Phil you'll be able to walk into your Admiral dealers store and
competently buy the style radio or radio phonograph you want a
selection of Admiral radios will be complete. It'll be ready off
on a grass with a famous Admiral exclusive features slide away

the foolproof Admiral automatic record changer. There'll be

woods and modern plastics. There'll be farm sets and
portables and many styles and sizes, including the popular app
Rabbanim the camera type radio that operates on alternating

new electronic refinements and am FM and shortwave reception
and are about television. admirals extensive research
assures television receivers with true Admiral quality. So
whatever you wanted radio, you will find it in an admiral
America's mindset. You can get a very good idea of what Admiral
will offer. If you're right for a free copy of a new full
colored booklet and title it's a promise from Admiral. Just write
your name and address on a tiny postcard and mail it to add rows
and characters radio stations. That's all just your name and
address males or admirals at this station.
Member Penny postcards
those days are
Penny postcard everybody has a beautiful spot man back in the
old days of the wireless. It's beautiful. I'd like to say hello
to our friends in Gitmo nation. What is Portugal again? What is
God Portugal's get mo nation moniker? Well, that's a good
question that some salami thing. kielbasa could be a linguist,
get my nation Ling Louisa. And we could call it that. Wow. So
they got a friendly little note from the guys who actually
created the entire depression in the first place. As Moody's
stuck a broomstick up their rectum.
The downgrade of Portugal's debt to junk status by the credit
ratings agency, Moody's should serve as a wake up call to the
rest of Europe says the country's president describing
the move as a detonator Annabelle Cavaco Silva called on
European leaders to face up to American ratings agencies, which
he said posed a threat to European economic stability. A
Portuguese economist and advisor to the commission has told us
she finds the downgrade appalling. In my opinion, the
moment has come for Europe to have its own ratings agency she
says, which evaluates countries and companies according to
criteria that are those of the European project Sombra. She
went on to outline her ideas for strengthening the Euro zone,
such as Saudi ality. In order for the Euro zone to be stable
in future member states must be guaranteed low interest rates so
that they can invest and grow fundamentals revisit those on
Arrow COMM This is a fundamental condition for survival in the
euro zone. Today in the face of financial markets, which apply a
great deal of pressure. The only way to guarantee acceptable
interest rates so that all countries and regions can invest
is through euro bonds. Mo Vieira. instrumento euro bonds,
the downgrade hot on the heels of Portugal's new austerity plan
has brought more criticism. The country's debt agency called it
superficial and arrogant Lisbon Council is to suspend its
contract with Moody's.
This is a lot of things in this clip starting with the last bit
what it is like is this like cable service. Hey, you gave us
crappy service Moody's we're canceling cancel now. It's like
a one moment we'll put you through to customer cancellation
service please hold. So Moody's are the same guys. I mean, I
don't know if it's actually an ask John question. These are the
same guys who rated all of these credit default swaps and all
these bundled assets under less as the credit defaults, right?
The bundled assets of mortgages, bundled mortgage bullcrap,
right? Triple A, these are the same guys that did that and now
they're the they're the guys who and you hear Portugal's outrage
they're saying well, you don't you can downgrade us we know we
need to do some things here to me euro bonds which is another
like banking scam. But who are these Moody's guys and should we
not consider setting up our own rating agency John maybe the
douche ometer the douche because this is like Nielsen I mean,
this is the Nielsen has all the power come What does it come
score has all the power on the interwebs we need that some kind
of politician do shaman or ratings agency but that's where
the power who is behind Moody's Who are these guys? And why do
we it's like FICA FICO they can ruin your life
yeah, it's bad. So who is money wouldn't be so bad if they were
actually seem to be honest. But the fact that they got scammed
by these ridiculous mortgage deals and overrated them and
then the whole economy tanked. I mean, that's what they're
supposed to. That's their their to
keep to make sure that doesn't happen and they're actually
making it happen.
Yeah, and they actually made it happen by being wrong. So wrong.
It wasn't like they were a bit wrong or they were
just a little off from triple A to like G
to triple eight, zero, but wow. Yeah.
So do we know who they are? Who's behind them? What's going
on with that? Are we? We need to
baffle. I mean, I know who they are, well, of course, what they
do and everything, but I don't know who's behind it and how
many banks are involved? If if Goldman Sachs has got something
to do with it, or if the government or the CIA or? I
don't know, it's a good question. I know Alaska Horowitz
when he gets back from Vietnam.
Okay, he's in Nam. Yeah, he's doing a tour of Nam. What's he
doing there on vacation?
I don't know. He's doing work for somebody out in Langley, I
think. Oh, yeah. Right. Now he's on there. He's on a short
vacation with his wife,
but it just, it just blows me away. There wasn't like moody is
God. Like okay. Oh, moody says so
well, it was standard enforces the other one. Right? Well, I'm
sure they're just as bad. I just it's like, and it's Portugal
pays for this privilege. They've been paying, you know, because
if you want a rating, you have to pay them what a scam. It gets
Portugal didn't send enough kill bosses over or whatever it is.
Legally says linguist says kill bosses linguists is
advertising tau just
just blew me away. And and now where I had this.
Moody's was founded in 1909 by John moody, beginning with
analysis of railroad investments, a book about
railroad securities using letter grades to access their risk.
The President has the President has something to say about
railways. Did you hear this brains good, but it's better
than that?
There are a few things that we can and should do right now. to
redouble our efforts read data
readable? Yeah, that's so readable means what? Like we
another stimulus
if you redouble our efforts readable? Well readable.
The the first effort was $800 billion of stimulus?
Yeah, what not 1.5 million.
Let's just use the BS number readable I think means okay, so
and what he's talking about is a million construction workers who
have to work on something that I would have never heard before.
On behalf of the American people investing in rebuilding our
roads and our bridges and our railways,
rail rail
we need a rail raise. Here's my rail rail
rebuilding our roads and our bridges and our railways
infrastructure
infrastructures the guy kills me rail raise How can you mess up
rail rail raise rail raise he
talks a lot you know you get his overtime he's gonna botch it
rail raise
which I guess that could also be code for he's actually going to
invest in invest in something called rail arrays. And by the
way, everything is now within our I'm gonna invest in rail
arrays.
anymore on that,
not just the Italy's next and then I'll shut up about economy,
at least the latest Eurozone country to come under pressure
because of default fears. And in addition, investors are worried
about the effects of a reported falling out between the finance
minister Giulio Tremonti and Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi
yeah so Italy's next that you know that David can have all
lined up like ducks in a row. Oh, yeah. Well, David Cameron
came out with something very interesting, which I think kind
of is a subtext to this news of the World shutting down which by
the way, turns out to be financially quite a good deal
for Mr. Murdoch is in news of the World was making any real
money and it's very hard to fire people and get money nation
ECS like Germany, you can't fire Yeah, it
was all of the Eurozone. You can't just fire people so it's
probably a really good move and he doesn't need that be sky be
deal to happen because that's a cash cow. And but of course, you
know, Murdoch is known for being on the brink of bankruptcy and
coming back, but Cameron came out. And I was like, wow, this
is this is just mind boggling what he had to say.
The British prime minister has called for a complete overhaul
of the UK press regulation system. In the wake of the media
hacking scandal. That's false the closure of the news of the
World newspaper, David Cameron also said the police inquiry
into possible criminal activities that the Sunday
tabloid would not answer all of the public's questions.
That is why I want to establish a second inquiry to begin at the
earliest available opportunity, ideally, now this summer. This
inquiry should be conducted by a credible panel of figures drawn
from a range of different backgrounds who command the full
support, respect, and above all confidence of the pub They
should be truly independent without any motive but to seek
the truth and to clean up the press. As expected,
police arrested Andy Coulson, today, the former editor of the
news of the world who quit as Cameron's communications chief
as the hacking scandal ballooned.
So he is calling for a complete reform of the rules of news.
Hello. Hello. Yeah, I mean, wow. So they they already have this
thing called the D notice, which means this is news but you can't
talk about it. So they're gonna do more and you know, what's
coming, John license a license to be a journalist. You have to
be a licensed journalist accredited with Vash
prices around the world that have that already. Brazil, you
have done that? Well, yeah. But
you know, this is not in the free West.
Well, the free West, where's that? Yeah, well,
what's gonna happen to us? We'll be we'll be outlawed over
that door. At some point, we're gonna have to be licensed to do
this show.
Well, you know, I'm happy because you can actually get a
license because you have a track record me they're gonna, you
know, like, Mr. Devorah, John Claude Dvorak, you can have a
this. This is the high command. You can have a license, but
we're so sorry, Mr. What is his name? Curie. New, he is not
allowed to broadcast news. Yeah, well
done. Screw.
I'll just be your sidekick. I'll be like, I would work. I'll be
like, hey, I'll just add little bits and bobs. We'll just call
me the engineer.
You'd be like the guy that control. Yeah, that's
that's all I'll be. I'm just going to be the engineer. I'll
be your sidekick. He was John Claude DeVore, as a licensed
journalist for to get one nation states of news organization
Ministry of Truth. And his sidekick Adam curry. How're you
doing? Everybody?
And you know, the thing about these licenses, they'd be up for
review. So once you got the license, even if you are
qualified, they'll have told me Oh,
yeah. And I won't be able to be directly on Mike. I'll have to
be like, like he was laughing in the background. I won't be I
won't be allowed to broadcast you watch. It's common in our
lifetime, my friend is Oh, yeah. No, it's common. So I can't
believe that people aren't up in arms about him saying this. And
we have to have an independent inquiry, which is, I think,
British or we're gonna find some way to screw it.
Screw it. We're gonna get independent people. Oh, yeah.
I'm sure that'll be great.
But the other guy going after. And I have a clip from Chris
Bryant, who I think is watching this guy. Chris. Brian is a
labour guy. So he's on the other side. And he owes and the Labour
Party gets back in power eventually. I think he's going
to become a prime minister. And he and he isn't. He was outed as
a gay by I think one of Murdoch's papers years ago, and
now he's just openly gay. But he's extremely presentable. And
I think he has Prime Minister written all over and I'm putting
it in the Red Book as a prediction
on national life. At least Berlusconi lives in Italy. But
Murdoch is not resident in this country. He does not pay tax
here and has never appeared before a select committee of
this house. No other country would allow one man to garner
four national newspapers the second largest broadcaster a
monopoly on sports rights and fought first few movies.
America, the home of the aggressive entrepreneur doesn't
allow it. We shouldn't just say about the proposed takeover
beaten by be that of course it should be put on ice whilst the
police investigation is ongoing. The executive and non executive
directors have completely failed in their legal duty to tackle
criminality in the company. And it must surely be in doubt at
least whether some of these are fit and proper people to run a
media company. There are many other questions Who is paying
Glenn Mulcaire as legal fees now, is it News International?
Was Clive Goodman paid off handsomely when he came out of
prison? What did Rebecca Wade and Nicholson less Hinton know
and when did they know it? You know,
he's not an Eton. Boy. These ladies I don't think so. I'm
just looking through his book of knowledge entry. And all these
guys are usually from Eton. He's not yet
hidden connection with most of them. That's true, but this
guy's really presentable.
Is he cute? Is he hot?
He's a very good looking. He's the he's the Tony Blair, good
looking British Prime Minister type, you know, well spoken and
very, you know, photogenic He's got everything going for him and
but he's gay. And but he although he doesn't have a lot
of that he doesn't have any gay affectations at least not in
Powell he's
not hot John. No, he's Wait a minute. He's a ginger
know if you know he's if you look at him on television on
intelligent photogenic by I'm sorry,
I know enough I've lived in Gitmo nation East long enough to
know that hell will freeze over before they have a ginger Prime
Minister, that there's a real racial
watching them on television. I see him right here. And he's not
a redhead on TV.
He looks redhead on the book of knowledge. No, I'm
just saying and I know what you're saying. They hate to read
it. And the reason for that is because they hate the Irish and
the Irish are all you know, a lot of redheads.
They actually think people who have red hair actually are
genetically inferior.
No, they think that and they also build there's also this
belief that redheads have no soul. Well, yeah, there's
certain religious, really sub segments that feel that yeah,
Redhead redheads have no soul.
Well, I think that's par for any Prime Minister had you have to
have no
qualified or a medium. But I'm sorry,
as a bi curious male. I'm not turned on by him. That's he is
not my kind of guy.
Pockets. But anyway, he goes after these guy. Everyone's
going after him. And they have all
their chat room just came up with a good one. It's a GILF
Thank you, ginger. I'd like to
Yeah, that's cute. Yeah, sir. So I don't know. I think you're
probably right, though. I mean, maybe the whole thing was a
scheme to to close the thing down so they could fire people
because he moved all his best people out of this.
Well, they're all going to the sun. And the sun, of course is
going to do a Sunday paper which they've been wanting to do for a
long time. But they didn't want to compete with their with their
sister publication, by the way. It's called screws of the world,
in the industry, or the screws. That's what news of the World
was called is gonna
be called the sun on Sunday and it probably would be a cheaper
Yeah, I think you're right to find it. Because you have no say
one office for the sun and the sun Sunday said you don't have
this whole separate operation that only does a weekly paper
which is really passe. Even though it has huge circulation.
It's still weekly as seems to be a money loser aspect to it.
Yeah, they're
not making a lot of money. And I thought that actually I heard
like, well, they're expecting 5 million copies. I thought this
thing did 12 Well, maybe it's monthly to do 12 million. I
heard it was 14 million as an issue. That's what I thought
too, but it seems like maybe the thing is really down that much
and Murdock's like Screw this dog, get rid of it. Shut that
thing down.
Well, this whole thing is something fishy about it. Well,
I am quite and by the way, it's bull crap with Bryant said about
even aggressive entrepreneurs home of the aggressive
entrepreneurs. The USA doesn't allow Murdoch owns dozens and
dozens of TV stations. He owned the Dodgers for a while if I'm
not mistaken, a movie studio. A number of you know outlets for
news and and TV in the same market. That's bull crap. We
more than welcome it.
Yeah, it's it's I don't know, man. That's the Ministry of
Truth is closing in. That's for sure. It is closing in on us and
he's not good. Hey, oh, the Arab Spring, Switzerland blocking all
Syrian assets at South starts. So I guess we're gonna steal
their money next. And then we move in. Although it's going to
be tricky, because Sudan, of course now is officially
Southern Sudan has its own nation. They upped the UN blue
helmets, from four and a half 1000, which was already double
what they typically put into a region to 7000 Clunies all over
the news again.
Oh, they brought him back. I
didn't say Yeah, well, this is how it works. You got to break
up with your girlfriend. The hot girlfriend. So that you're in
the news? Oh, Clooney. Yeah, good. George. Yeah. And then
boom, hit him with Sudan where Clooney is God is his eye from
the sky satellite thing. So you can you can see that you can
just wait for that to happen.
I have a little clip about South Sudan and, and they it was on
the weekend. And they introduced this woman from the State
Department. At the beginning. You can hear what her title is.
I want you to see if you can catch it. But she talks a little
bit about what's going on. It's all bull crap. But play it but
her title is what really got my attention.
CNN senior State Department producer released that senior
senior State Department producer is that what it is? Yeah. Oh,
she's a producer so she produces news and produces tweeter
messages. Wow. Good one.
Her title is state depart US State Department Senior
Associate senior US State Department producer
How come they didn't make her an executive producer
Wow. The no agenda shoe.
Wow. Let me hear that again.
That was a senior State Department producer release
oh she's CNN see say
that but Her title says that she's with the US State
Department says US State Department producer on her
Chiron.
Wow. But she was CNN
and she said that's her crazy title. But the whole thing
seemed a little dubious. But anyway, she has a look. Because
of what she has a blue, she has a canned, blurred crock of crap
you can listen to here
to learn. It's a blurred
senior State Department producer release that scene almost as
important as a celebration in South Sudan. A loss of symbolism
that comes here and lots of symbolism, no real commitment to
between the US and South Sudan. Well, that's right, Fred, the
US?
Oh, this is Fred. Oh, I hate Fred. She's on in the morning,
Frederica. Yeah, that's right. Fred,
for decades has been working to help South Sudan for this
moment, the US really under the Bush administration started
pushing this agreement, this comprehensive peace agreement
between South and North Sudan to get them to this day and really
over the last few months really intense diplomacy. Getting the
student needs to this referendum in July where the South Sudanese
voted for independence. And now, not only today here in
Washington was the Sudanese South Sudanese embassy raising a
flag but in Juba today, the US Embassy the US Consulate became
an official US Embassy and that really I think we can look for
real intensive us engagement in helping to one nation builds
really, this fledgling nation stand up and work towards being
a full member of the international community. A part
of that engagement also includes security and how the US will be
watching or helping to secure as best it can a South Sudan
Oh yeah, no, I think
it's so catchy so these questions reading the question
isn't can question and this woman answers it's just it's
like such theater to listen to these two
and she can't even read the prompter right she keeps it as
embassies as consulate embassy Oh, really? Okay even
bother with a prompt for the prompt prompt a copy up? Wow.
No. So I think there's a couple of things happening so one of
course in in Libya and now NATO everyone is saying we're not
going to supply the rebels anymore because the rebels have
failed you know, they gave these guys all they need to tanks a
jet airplane. And they can only supposed to take days. Yeah, not
weeks, and they can't get the job done. So you know, even the
Viagra rape thing didn't take hold which I would partially
take responsibility for that we've just had this bull crap
and hopefully people or what am I kidding? No one gives a crap
except the listeners of the show. But it's not happening. So
the so this all support has been pulled off the table. That's
exactly why the United States is not recognizing the trans
Transitional National Council. Because we got it well now we're
going to screw those guys. So we paid him to get it all started
and now you know, like, Okay, no more bullets for you. And we
have to do something now Syria. I think that's a hedge. So
there's they're stopping the money flow right now. And you
see Assad on television. I didn't get the stupid as a clip
I forgot to get he keeps saying hey, we've got like foreign
crazy guys in here shooting everything up. You know, this is
like this like, like, he's he's basically saying CIA is here
stirring it up, and you're all buying it. Like I'm killing
people. Like, you know, and, and the State Department says,
that's just nutty. need that guy's just nutty to say that.
Oh, by the way, Friedman on at the Aspen Institute also went on
about off on Syria being the worst murderers. The government
will show you they'll kill you
immediately. And meanwhile, you see all this video this, you
know, like, oh, we can't confirm where this video was from. And
you see, like a whole bunch of guys. And they say, oh, it's
police beating a guy up and throwing them in the trunk of
the car. But if you look closely at the video, they have helmets
on and like a protective vest, but they're all wearing
different shoes, different pants. You know, that's not a
typical police force where you don't have a standard uniform.
Yeah, especially when they keep showing it you know, these
militarized police,
right? But you look at it and you see Oh, helmets batons, but
then if you look closely at one guy's wearing Nikes the other
guy's wearing Jack Jack boots. The other guy's wearing, you
know cockys The other guys
put so much didn't end with blurry old Yeah. Oh, you don't
need to do a lot as true. I want to have a prediction I want to
throw out there. It's a little it's not completely off topic it
has to do with Southern Sudan. Okay, so the New York Times had
this picture of the of the boss, the new boss of Southern Sudan
who has apparently been promoted from the sense of Bush day
what's his name? Our boss or their boss or their boss
southern suit? And if I can look up
his picture what what what kind of title does the boss have
boss, his boss
ADSC people is looking for the best of us independent so she's
the president. His name is Salva Kiir ski I are Salva
Kiir Maya dt. He
they're just big picture of him in the times and he's with his
general Alyssa Moser around him and a bunch of other geeky
looking goons and creeps. He's got a big cowboy. Yeah,
he's got a cowboy hat with a big wide rim. He looks a bit like
one of those old blues guys.
I am predicting the cowboy hat is going to become huge in
Africa. As this fashion statement you watch but
it's funny because we had our shell in Afghanistan, Karzai,
he's got the crazy hat and the cape. This is what you do when
you put a shill in. You gotta make
him look official musician on a TV talk show you love the dress.
Like if you look at all the country in western guys, if they
didn't have a hat on you wouldn't believe that they
actually did country. So you gotta give them a hat and blue
jeans and some boots. And this guy's got a huge has beautiful
hat.
George Bush gave him that hat.
Oh, really? Yeah. No, seriously? Yeah. Well, according to the
time, Oh, wow. And he still has an arm he showers.
And I think it's gonna become a fashion statement. You watch I
did. And I was thinking about it. Actually, a cowboy hat is a
perfect hat. Because these guys are wearing berets and all these
other European hats that are stupid in Africa. And you want a
big sombrero thing?
And by the way, I'd like to point out it's a black hat.
Yeah. It's not like he's a white hat. No, it's a black hat. Wow.
Wow, I gotta get me a hat like that.
I'm looking good. You look good. And kick me at one in
Texas. So while we're just on the crazy asmedia Fox had all
the talking points, because of course now now that we've killed
Osama bin Laden, and we've got our new guys in our new
Secretary of Defense. Panetta, right, Panetta? Yeah. Who of
course, is former CIA guy. And so you know, what, what talking
points do we need to propagate? Well, we have to propagate that.
Well, we we've never been doing this well. But of course, it's
never been this dangerous. And instead of reporting on Panetta
himself, who went to Afghanistan Kaboul, they send this hottie or
maybe she lives there. I don't know this hottie on Fox, but
she's the Muslim hottie. And this girl, I mean, and she's
reading a prompter, because it means your name. I know I can't
it's a Muslim name. And I can't remember it. This is how stupid
I am. But as she's got her shirt, like kind of is what
they say when you have the attractive presenter. You can't
remember anything. You just kind of stare at them.
What happens is I some staring at her, my brain opens wide and
I'm absorbing the information and taking it for truth. And
she's got her blouse kind of unbuttoned and, you know, it's
like, ah, black hair beautiful, beautiful, and just listen to
the talking points that she spews it like a machine gun.
Good morning, Alex. Well, we do know is that on that flight from
DC to Cabo, Leon Panetta, the new Secretary of Defense did say
that the strategic defeat of al Qaeda was within reach. He says
it all began with the death of Osama bin Laden in Pakistan and
the treasure trove of information that they found
treasure trove. I'm sorry, I just have to stop at the mean,
the treasure trove
in Bin Laden has led to them finding out more key leaders and
al Qaeda. He mentioned about 10 to 20 leaders, possibly in
Pakistan, Somalia, Yemen, and different parts of North and
Central Africa. So he says that right now, they want to go
after, after these leaders. It's a time to go after Al Qaeda.
This is coming as he's here in Afghanistan. In his first visit,
as a Secretary of Defense where he will be meeting his
counterpart, he will also be meeting the Afghan president,
but most importantly, he's going to be meeting the commanders on
the ground and the service men and women fighting the fight in
Afghanistan coming at a very important time in the fight in
Afghanistan, primarily because this is when we expect the
transition to begin in certain parts of Afghanistan parts where
they're going to be handing over the responsibility to the
Afghans themselves also coming at a time where President Obama
has already announced to draw down efforts hoping for that to
end by the year 2014.
And with could you you've said Afghanistan enough in that
report. Wow. Yeah, Afghanistan, Afghan and meanwhile, I'm just
looking under blouse, Afghanistan, Afghanistan,
Afghanistan. And okay, so it's clear, we're going to be there
and it's going to be more dangerous and there's more
leaders and what is she saying? She's saying Northern Africa,
Yemen. It's like all the places that we're going so it's so
clear, the strategy is like okay, we got to let we'll keep
50,000 isn't in Iraq, we'll keep 50,000 in Afghanistan. And we're
just going to spread everything back out amongst five to seven
new countries where Al Qaeda has gone into franchise mode. And
it's all fake. It's all fake.
As a scam, I figured out ludicrous.
I figured I figured out the blood and treasure, by the way.
No, yes, I figured it out. It's a psyops. And this was revealed
in a journal of experimental social psychology, who came out
with a report called casualties of war and sunk costs,
implications for attitude change and persuasion. That would be
the definition of psychological warfare, changing your mind.
Check this out. War protests, both explicit like memorials,
and implicit, like lists of casualties can actually make
people more supportive of a war, according to this new study. And
here comes studies authors explain this by reference to
what they call a don't waste or sunk cost mindset that sees
blood and treasure spent on a war as an investment that can be
recouped only by staying the course and winning. So now I
understand why the US
Treasury Where'd you get this go back, back back. This
is the journal of experimental social psychology, the report,
casualties of war and sunk costs implications for attitude change
and persuasion.
Where did you get this?
From? From the Journal of experimental social psychology?
It's not like you're out you get the thing in the mail. Oh, my
psychologist showed up Honey, hold on a sec. Let me read it.
how little you know about me, dude, this is the kind of stuff
that's on the mood, dude. This is the kind of stuff that our
producers post on the no agenda news. network.com Good catch.
And signs direct actually was the link to this. But of course,
I get the study, you know, people send me the link to the
to the Summary page. No agenda, news network.com. If you want to
be a producer, send me an email and put na n and producer in
there, and I'll hook you up with an account. So again, I just I
just wanted my
upset. Makes sense. I mean, we just keeps cropping up too much.
And a lot of people of course, are unwittingly using the term
which just adds to the greatness of
Fanta. And so the actual I'm gonna read that again, because
it's such a beautiful line. A don't waste or sunk cost mindset
sees blood and treasure spent on a war as an investment that can
be recouped only by staying the course. And winning. Holy moly.
It was right in our face. Should I play that blood and treasure
thing? Again? I have it somewhere. Oh, yeah. Yeah, the
beauty. That's actually a good idea when it when that I played
that was that on the about two
or three shows ago really that Fargo played it back? Well,
maybe two shows ago, but you played it at the end of the
show, too, as a show ending.
Okay, hold on a second. I have I have a pretty decent system
here.
We're pretty good. I think this is a good catch. I you know, I
suppose in the next newsletter I send out to the people by the
way, if you're out there listening to this show, please
get on our mailing list. And as you can do that by either
looking at the no agenda, show.com page or divorce.org
When I posted it to get there's a little link you can sign up.
We also have a new show on the no agenda stream, which is one
of our producers reading our talking points, which is
beautiful. It's like a fantastic Oh, here it is I've got I've got
the medley. Here we go. I knew I had
not just their time but their treasure
and not waste our precious blood and treasure, the loss of blood
and treasure.
We must make hard choices about where to spend our blood and
treasure. I just don't believe that it is worth the blood and
the treasure and blood and treasure in my mind not only all
the costs and lives and treasure
with all of the American lives and treasure that were laid down
for the lives and the treasure, they were expended,
a second war was launched in Iraq, and we spent enormous
blood and treasure.
So I would submit to you, John Claude, that every single
politician who uses the term blood and treasure is SIOP being
you and is actually trying to get you to buy into spending
more on military and killing more brown people in deserts.
Well, I would agree with the with the Obama and the McCain to
some that are in that clips. Fed fest that you just played, but
I'm sure that on occasion one of these boneheads in Congress just
heard hears the term and thinks it's so cool that they use it
This says idiots and they're playing right along with the
game.
Yeah. So I wouldn't say 100% I say the obvious ones are
obvious. I mean, McCain, Obama, Harry Boehner and a few others
are obviously in on it, but there's probably a couple of
dimwits that are just saying it because they think it sounds
okay.
Coming to a Talking Points Memo near you very soon.
I'm going to show my support by donating to no agenda. Imagine
all the people who could do that. Oh, yeah, that'd be fun.
Yeah, we do have a few people we want to thank for helping us
produce this show this particular show, show two 320
regard coming up on the three to one show. That's, that's on
Thursday. It's on Thursday, and we already have a few people
that are itching to be producers on 321 which is you know,
it's a cool memorable Yeah,
it's cool number. Let's start with Joanne Thompson at West
Lafayette, Indiana. We've just made a donation to the show in
the amount of 13776 I did it through Pay Pal but wasn't able
to leave a message I'm donating 7110 in honor my birthday is 711

unemployed
and she's sending us support even though she's unemployed.
Yes, well bless you to be employed shortly. Also 666 for
two podcasts licenses one for me and one for my son John
Thompson. Bright aren't sad. I have to ask for my own birthday
shout out isn't it?
Oh, the kids Oh boy. Bad. Bad kids.
I can use karma for my eBay store evil moose auctions.
You've got karma good name by the way.
I love a good name. Evil moose is very memorable. And Adam was
right again. You need to put that in there about the getting
rid of juries. This was a hot topic on Fox and Friends. Yes.
You
know I tried they didn't have a clip. But they had Huckabee on
and they were literally saying is it time to get rid of the
jury system and get professional juries in as a couple of links
in the show notes at 320 dot n a show notes.com I think I
although it is not like Gone rampant the way I hope that had
I think I said before Sunday you'll see this crop up and
there it is. It cropped up. And by the way that said black
helicopter you hear in the in the background cleverly
disguised as a vacuum cleaner.
Just in sites, seats. No way man I keep saying sites as sites or
seats. Just to send me a note sometime.
I was born here. This is site. This is sites I'm sorry, this is
site Correct. Yeah, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
beautiful town. This should finish my knighthood at the end
of the note I have all my donations listed in order blah
blah blah, which I recommend people do. Can't wait for all
the new ideas you'll come up with during the trip like the
ones Miss Mickey told on the end a producer's update from the
test trip. So I guess she was on a show recently.
This is the Naboo no agenda producers update it kicks in on
the stream right after every Sunday show. It will happen
again right after the show today. And yeah, Mickey was on
the show. She was kicking ass today. I
mean, she really does. She's She's selling it. Now she can
take over my place now. Oh, by the
way, she actually said after the show. She said I feel really
really bad. I said why? So well I you know I didn't talk about
the fact that we're going to try and get John out to one of these
and do a maybe a bigger meet up and she felt really bad that she
had propped us and she That's right. It's correct. Because she
loves you. She I may or may not you know it's just a real big
meet up someplace and I did and it's important that I fly out
there I will well we're gonna need your man.
What to change the tires.
No to like press the flash and kiss the babies
in a cage. John and Adam This is James Julian in Hendersonville,
Tennessee. $111.11 Hey, John Anam even a listener for a while
now and yet to donate glad to be finally a donor not a boner. I
was flying from Nashville to San Jose last weekend. And as I
stood there waiting for my pat down, I watched all his slaves
pile through the naked body scanner. I realized that if it
was not for you to and you're amazing show I would have walked
right through the potentially unsafe machine. Thanks for the
hours of entertainment every week. Keep up the great work.
So just a note on that. So we had a lot of our friends, etc.
At the party last night, and we have Sean and Jennifer and they
run the hair salon Juwan Chawan. In the really like he's Iranian,
he has always I'm always talking about how we're gonna go kill
his people. You know, it's fun. And she is she's from Rochester,
New York, you know, beautiful like, well, you know, totally
one of those. And one mother I'd like to and she does a lot of
movie stuff in Canada, you know, hair and makeup. And so that's
why I was amazed they showed up because she's usually working on
the weekends. And you know, she and me Of course they're
starting to listen to the show and they hear in my crackpot
stuff she's like, I'm really annoyed because every single
time I fly, they always put me through the through the body
scan. I said, Jennifer, look at you, your heart. They're looking
at you naked. And she's like, I saw her face go. Like, and you
know, you really need to opt out. I can opt out. Yes,
Jennifer. Now, of course, someone's going to feel your
boobs, but you know, at least they want to have pictures of
you. She said every single time they pull her aside
specifically. Oh, yeah. Hey, specifically,
think about it. If you were working for TSA. What would you
do?
Of course what I told her I said, dude, they're they're
like, self radicalizing in the back. They're looking at you.
And by the way, step back. I'm horny.
You're hot. Kristen Herzog and Elwood, Illinois. Double nickels
on the diamond. He'd like to request a de douching on general
principle. You've been de deuced and why not? He says after 47
years I could probably use one even though I don't think I'm a
douche in general, but I'm sure the small stuff adds up over
time because
it's good to have a periodic D douching. It doesn't hurt and
does not hurt at all.
John Tucker, Omaha, Nebraska when it goes on to dime. Glad to
hear the Hot Pockets tours on I'm making another plug for the
Heartland Liberty Fest on Saturday August 6 with the
summer amphitheater at the pump Elian Nebra Ed puppy, the puppy
young puppy on Nebraska. I'm sure they pronounced it funnier.
Just south of Omaha. It's an all day celebration of liberty with
great speakers and three bands it'd be great to see you in the
no agenda hot pockets to have get one nation stopped by that
day. It'll
be great. I don't I don't think we'll make it there and pretty
hard
to time these things here. For more information, go to
Heartland Liberty fest.com. And then we have a few $50 donors
all mentioned in order. Andrew Sawyer in Vancouver BC David
Middlebrook in Aberdeenshire, UK, Aberdeenshire, George
Vanderhorst Blacknight George Hey, everybody, it's George in
catshill in cats Hoval Hatoful. You, den Holland, Tristan
Lennon, sir trust and as a matter of fact, to you, Wagga
Wagga, my favorite place, and Tristan Wilson, Kerrigan and
Padbury Western Australia, which is a popular name apparently, in
Australia, Tristan, I want to thank everybody and everybody
else who donated for this week's or this show on Sunday, July 10.
And for those of you who are new to the program and wonder why we
do this, there's a number of reasons for it. But the one
thing I think that when we started off was so such an eye
opener, is that the so called Audience supported public new
service, certainly in the United States of Gitmo nation is our
national treasure, NPR. And, and it's the gating so blatant about
how they're actually just a commercial organization. Here's
another example. skillshare.com is offering a course. And I
shall read it to you right now the course is for executives for
sales executives. It's called reaching your target audience
through NPR. Under the radio marketing and advertising
heading, that's right as a part of launchpads ongoing monthly
Lunch and Learn program. Ryan Borden of of WW N O, which is a
public radio station will teach you how to reach your target
audience through NPR includes free lunch from Virginia region
Ali's pizza and
like, we don't do the free lunch.
There's no free lunch but there I mean, so this is it people do
not send your money to them. Send it to us because if they
are if so who is the product here? Who who was being sold in
our National Public Radio treasure? You are the
the product you got a problem? Yes. And with us, they don't
care about you anymore. No care by giving you information.
Anyway, we also by the way, I want to mention we do have
another birthday call that we're going to give to one of our
artists. Yeah, I've
got it. I've got it here. Hold on. We're gonna do that. We'll
do it properly. I do. I do have a Karma note from Chris. Hey,
I'm the guy who was screwed by the state of California. Yay. I
was declared ineligible for unemployment benefits because I
didn't tell the previous employer that one of my many
reasons for leaving besides a substantial pay increase that
the newer company offered was that I'm disabled knee hip
joints. And walking four plus floors in a large hospital was
too much I asked for karma because it was hard read
impossible getting any it work in Sacramento. Even if they do
want you they take a long time. To decide and most of its is
just temp slash project work anywho the karma seems to have
worked I got a call from Maryland to work at a military
hospital in Bethesda. I have the IT certifications they need that
few others possess. It's a real IT job not tamper project that
starts Friday. It kills me to leave the family. But when
opportunity knocks you don't turn up your nose to it. So
thanks again, no agenda for the for the for the karma. It works.
And I'm very happy about that. So please consider supporting
our show, particularly the summer months are very important
for a number of reasons. First of all, everything on the
internet goes down. Just in general, everything is slow.
People are on vacation, so we need help in the support picking
up the slack. And in addition to that, we've got some extra
expenses coming up with the primarily the gas for the gases
you get your gas bills gonna break us. Yeah, it's eight miles
to the gallon. Yeah. It's like, we're already just a lot. We're
already Yeah. My grandfather used to do that. coasting. He in
His rabbit. He was 90 years old. He said, Hey, let me show you
how it's done. And he pushes down the clutch and throws it in
the neutral on the hill. Yeah, that's dangerous. Yeah, he's
like now coasting. This is how you save gas when gas was like
50 cents. This is what
the NASCAR drivers do when they're driving around the track
when they're running out of gas.
They call Coast they get in the slipstream and coast. Well, I
Well, we're gonna have to get in the slipstream of some trucks,
some semis.
It can right behind like one inch behind the semi just hug
it. Yeah, that's
a great idea. So please consider supporting us because it's a
little extra expenses. But it's all good because we're going to
be meeting up with a lot of you who are very excited about
meeting as many producers as possible and seeing this
wonderful land that has Gitmo nation because it still is a
beautiful country with lots of beautiful people vote.org/n A

so apparently according to a buzzkill, Jr. That I didn't get
I had mentioned the newsletter. I don't have a real link to it
with somebody can give us like a newsletter link that we could
just link to the to the URL or URL that's actually the
newsletter. Oh, okay. Good, warm. Anyway.
Do you have your Sunday segment prep, John? Oh, yeah. Okay.
John's gonna have the Sunday. Why don't you just remind us why
we're doing this again?
Well, I've taken a subscription out to the New York Times, and
so I can get into the brainwashing side of it, but at
the same time, deconstruct it and you know, hopefully not be
sucked in to it. But I think and I believe that the New York
Times has a lot of messaging for whatever people, and they tell
us a lot of things is going to happen in advance. It's almost
like it's almost like it's a lot of stuff in code, it seems to me
and I try to spot a few of these. I can't spot too many,
but I can spot a few and then today's Sunday Times. I'll just
read the basic headlines is, I mean, the big headline in New
York is Derek Jeter hit 3000. That's big news.
By the way, you ask anybody what's going on in Libya? I
don't know. But Derek Jeter he had I know that
they got there. So I'm looking this over and they have a lot of
stuff about the South. Sudan But the kicker I think, just gonna
skip all the you know us is deferring millions and aid for
Pakistan is a top headline but the one that got me I think
that's the message that's like, Hey, pay attention to this on
the front pages in the lower right hand corner in Malaysia
violence at pro democracy rally.
Yeah and they've got colored shirts on you notice that? Yeah.
Yeah, this is interesting. This is like this is the model that
we've seen over and over again you have a color, you have a
democracy movement, this entity and then you have a lot of
Twitter's and tweeters and all the rest of it in between. And
that's pretty much as far as I can tell. There's some good
news. There's some interesting news inside which the Sunday
Times tends to load up with and I'll just a couple that I
thought were interesting. They're also you should also
keep an eye out for Tajikistan.
Oh, yeah. That's where the that remember that was in the game.
Call of Duty.
Right. And so Tajikistan is good is it's a top of the
International inside the times there's a apparently there's a
government government there is on edge. A couple of key words
in here. extremely poor, mostly Muslim nation of about 7.6
million people blah, blah, blah. And they couple of mentions of
some buddy of Georgia spying for the Russians. And that's that's
it that closes the segment. John's gonna home Sunday. Now,
but there is an adjunct and I want to bring it up, which is a
which is one of the little Tom Friedman clips I have. And which
I think relates to this front page of this New York Times and
probably the next for the next few months. Play the Friedman on
Arab leaders. Oh, and by the way before you play it, he is called
out for being in Syria or you know, in Lebanon, as you know.
And he stuttered and stammered, because he's like, he's really
just not part of his script to explain why he's all over the
world with these things. But but then he tells it tells what he
gives us the message. We need to hear the Syrians
every time they walk out the door, they know the army is
going to shoot at them and kill him, which can count in Syria.
You were a Damascus correspondent for Beirut. Yeah,
maybe it's some Well, I think that I guess my general view is
this every single one of these Arab leaders. He is dead, man
walking. Okay. How when they go, I can't tell you. Wow. Doo doo
doo doo doo. This
is that like to go to the day? Isn't that beautiful? How
every Arab leader is Dead Man Walking and I was in Damascus.
Holy moly.
So you want to hear also who else is thrown under the bus?
Yeah. Friedman on Israel. Oh, boy.
Okay. And we know,
they've made every mistake in the book. Cause they were just
the flip side of that. You had Olmert, you had an Israeli prime
minister, who was offering them the Clinton peace initiative.
And they, they play games around that. And even let's give Bibi
his due. He gave them a nine month freeze. In month nine the
Palestinians showed up. So I really think this is on a tragic
track. You have zero I think, meaningful leadership on both
sides. And they're heading for a train wreck at the UN. And I
hope we end and I hope we get out of the way I think that
that's the we just need to tell it. I'm I'm thinking about that.
I don't want to come out yet and say but I'm not sure that they
don't need some real shock therapy.
In other words, I haven't received my marching orders yet.
I'm not sure what to do yet because I haven't gotten my my
handler hasn't told me
pretty much. Now the most amazing clip of the day, in my
opinion, because I don't know if he knows what he's saying. Or if
he does, or whatever you're going to hear this. You're going
to hear this clip. This is the freedmen throwing it in our face
clip you're gonna we as you hear this, you're going to hear a
thing and they're gonna go you this is a jaw dropper. You're
gonna go what?
Connecting Detroit Damascus and Dara you say where's Dara? Dara
is the dusty Syrian border town where the revolt in Syria began.
Where they've been feeding through flip cams, and video
cameras and just cell phone cameras. So much information out
despite the fact you realize, oh Jazeera, the BBC, CNN, NBC, ABC,
CBS F New York Times were all banned from Syria. Yet if you
every night, you can watch footage coming out of Dara and
it's all labeled. If you look at the bottom, it's labeled S n n.
What is SN N stands for Sham News Network. Okay, all right.
The five people in the front row here have enough money in their
wallet to start Sham. News Network Okay, and we have all
been learning about this so what's happened is we've the
world has gone from connected to hyper connected or my friend
Duff has a good way of saying we bought from connected to
interconnect. Oh,
my goodness, you mean the Lucifer Clinton news network,
Sham news network. That's unbelievable. Sham news network
and he plays it straight does he know what the meaning of Sham
is? I don't think so. He plays it as though he doesn't it's
like Sham is like some maybe it's an Arab name for Hey my
friend Sham is here. I mean clip of the day my friend for sure
sham news network sham.org.
Now Sham is spelled s h a m. So this of course is the double
joke because you you pronounce it as sham S and N is a group of
patriotic Syrian youth activists demanding the freedom and
dignity for the Syrian people supporting the Syrian people's
efforts for a democratic and peaceful change in Syria. Yeah,
that's how they usually talk SNN does not have any affiliation
with any Syrian opposition parties or other states. Right.
Right sham.org Hold on a second let's do a little who is on the
boat on these boats.
Freeman Dropsy these guys are named Raj who is dove my friend
dove
so sham let's see Sham is they are registered in Damascus which
is kind of cool. Okay, so there's no leads there. I wonder
where their servers are? Let's see. Though I'm sure our human
resources will get all over this. Where are they hosted?
Discount asp.net Nice. Visit us on Facebook visit us on YouTube.
And they got a phone number here it's a beautiful looking site by
the way
defense of the Syrian revolution in English but they have a
mission website it's a WordPress site but it's Syrian revolution
2011 Oh yeah, I was missing is the logo
I love this reveal the truth now they have for clear vision sham
news network for clear vision
what do they do have a logo They sure do. They got a bunch of
different ones are pretty cool looking. Wow unresponsive today
biggest decision we'll be posting breaking news from SN N
sham news network person they have it spelled wrong with this
sh A M just broadly spelled right when we're thinking
what do you think sham means what do you think that that
translates to
Well let's find out let's ask the book of knowledge I mean
console
okay sham no professionally a shot am to me as a film actor
starting his career so that's no good.
began his career in Bangalore there's no other entry except
for this guy. This actor actor get it gag?
Yeah. When I went NanHu NanHu humor. That's Clip of the Day,
John because this douche doesn't even understand. I mean, if we
were to do something funny, we can actually come up with this.
Hey, I got a great idea. Let's call it the sham news network or
will spell it s h a. m Get it?
Get it?
Oh my goodness and and even throws in flip cams. Yeah, he's
interested in campuses. Right. And that's kind of interesting.
The shame asked, he was asked a not to just belabor this guy,
because he did have a couple interesting. He was asked
whether by somebody in the audience because you have this
book you're talking about which is book promoting third parties.
Why don't you just put it on the internet if you want to get this
stuff out so fast and he stumbles in Bumbles? Again, he
bah bah, bah, bah, bah. And he and then he says I don't use
Twitter. I don't he doesn't he doesn't really know much
apparently. But he apparently that is meeting he just see if I
have that have the clip. It's they have
a phone number here, which is a California area code kind of
Sham News Network. Yeah,
that's kind of cool. Yeah, their number is on I went to New York
time somehow happened.
Anyway, play the Aspen on Facebook clip and see if you can
spot a little interesting name dropping here.
The idea that I'm gonna spend a lot of time and think about it.
There's gonna be some added some eyes or whatever. You began this
week by saying you'd never use Twitter and never use Facebook,
one of our discussions on the stage and then I saw you over at
meadows with the founders of Twitter and they will put
putting their you know Aven because we're sort of poking
back at you. Do you see your mix of media changing? Do you see
yourself wanting to be more engaged in social media? Do you
think books will always be the stable of form that you use?
And biz
Evan biz and you can always follow me on Twitter. Yeah, Evan
beers
pass so Evan beers to poking
poking at you having beers poking. Hey, man. Hey, you know
who I poke the other day Evan beers. And what's the what's the
broomstick boy? Having beers and broomstick boy. Jeez, Louise. I
just felt like a douchebag total douche fest. I got a as it's
time, John for one of our favorite friends of the show
when we have a somewhat longer clip, but it's always well worth
it. Who could that be?
I if you're thinking what I'm thinking that's nice. You're not
bringing in the preacher or
Yeah, no, no, no, no, he's a bunch of heard the long legged
mac daddy.
I got him I got him for Thursday show I gotta
go oh, we have a long long legged mac daddy special on
Thursday, everybody. Yeah, okay, hold on. Let me do the promo.
coming up this Thursday on the no agenda show the long leg and
mack daddy special. No, this is Nigel Farage.
Oh, they are check number one number one or number two on the
on the Hot List? Yeah,
Nigel Farage. So he's now this is extra long. So we have
so he's always worth it being always
worth always worth this guy. So let's just recall what happened.
We had all of the Polish government and half of the
elites killed in one fell swoop one to the head action. We'd
like missed in Russia. And and then they so they brought in the
douchebags, who now of course, are have the presidency of the
European Union. So that's, that's Poland's thing. It's the
presidency. That's poll, it's their turn. And this is the,
this is the guy that that we knew was going to be the
douchebag. And that's when that's why they had to get all
these other people out who didn't actually want to be a
part of the EU and didn't want to be a part of the euro, and
didn't want the pipeline running through their through their
Harbor. And so now this guy's in and Farage goes out and attacks
him. And, and there's a rebuttal as well. But the whole thing is
just funny because you've got burrows, so who of course is the
chief of Starfleet Command. And he hates it when he has to
introduce Farraj. And it's just it's a great it's a great
list, right? There's probably like a list of names and he
says, Oh, God, what can we can we put this off till tomorrow?
This guy is just number one on the hate list. Nigel Farraj of
the UK independent party.
By the day, I have to ask you having listened to your words
this morning, just What planet are you on? This pretense that
everything's going incredibly well, the EU is mired in deep
structural crisis. Greece and Portugal and Ireland cannot
survive inside the euro. The Danes have torn up the Schengen
agreement and good for them, because the total free movement
of peoples is a completely irresponsible thing to have
done. And public opinion is saying whilst they want a
European cooperation. Yes, of course, I agree with that. What
they don't want. Is this Europe run by unelected bureaucrats
like mr. Barroso, you say the EU is fantastic. In a recent
comment. You're supporting the destruction of national
democracy. But it's with reference to Greece, that I'm
most concerned about you because when faced with their recent
enslavement, you said we live for many years as a non assault
as a non sovereign country under Soviet occupation. For us,
European integration is not a threat to sovereignty, because
we experienced not long ago, a serious threat to our
sovereignty. So what are you saying that this isn't quite as
bad as the USSR? Is that really good enough for your people? And
today, you describe Greece's problems as trivial. I'm sorry,
there are hundreds of 1000s of people out there on the streets
of Greece fighting to get their democracy back. And it beggars
belief that you and our president, you and our president
Mr. Buzek can talk about the Solidarity movement can talk
about Poland, getting its democracy back 20 years ago, and
yet here you are surrendering the democracy and sovereignty of
Poland to a failed European Union. Yes, we all want a shared
European cooperation for the future. But this most definitely
is not the model. Thank you, Mr. CO president is Bourassa Mr.
Gerber's Are you ready to answer the Blue Card question?
This is great. They have a blue card question.
What is this blue whether you are there in a soccer game, they
will have a blue card.
It's crazy. Mr. Gave us blue card Mr. Goebbels Hello,
question. Blue Card question.
Mr. Farage. Thank you President, Mr. Faraj is, is a little bit
like a cop crawl, you know, he's sitting on a heap of
unmentionables and going cockadoodledoo. But apart from
the criticism, what about suggestions, I haven't heard a
single constructive suggestion as to how we could change
Europe, you know, what ideas do you have for the future of this
continent? Then Mr. Faraj?
Post 1945 There were some very sensible ideas put together,
namely the Council of Europe, let's have a Europe where we sit
down together, where we have a free trade agreement, where we
agree minimum standards on work on the environment. We can do
all of these things without a European Commission without a
European Parliament, and without a European Court of Justice.
We've done it in security terms with NATO. Yes, it will mean
you'll lose your job mr. Barroso. But apart from that,
apart from that, why can't we do things as mature democracies?
Yes, I want us that Mr. Schultz as well. I want you all fired.
We can do those things. And that is a positive way forward.
I want you all fired.
I love this guy. He's right. Of course.
He's right. It's by the way, I think it's blue card as in blue
pill to get the red pill, the blue pill. And the the blue card
is like Do you want something that is just matrix? Got a blue
card? Card question. This is how stupid it's gotten their blue
card question. Cheese, Louise and Nigel Farraj What a
fantastic guy. He cracks me up and now he's I agree it's right.
He's just right.
Well, you don't have to fall apart on its own. The bankers
have eventually put it into it.
Get more nation lowlands is falling along with progressive.
Now they have this is a worldwide, this is how they do
it. We knew we were predicting GPS devices and cars for years
have been talking about this. And the way they're integrating
it is by saying hey, you want low insurance? Right? So you got
to get the black box, the GPS black box. Now, the first
insurance provider and get my nation lowlands is saying hey,
DAV get the black box. It's great, by the way, because if
you're an accident it it will call in the ambulance for Yeah.
It checks your your driving habits.
Yeah, can lock you out of your car. That's what the next that's
the next step. Yeah. Like OnStar.
Please blow into to before entering vehicle. Entrants
denied.
Yeah, no, that's a foregone conclusion. Most of the cars
since for the last almost the last 10 years have had a black
box installed anyway. United States they're there they
do it say when your airbag deploys. There's all kinds of
stuff that's already in there. Right as a
lot of information. I know I did. But they did. They could
just add and as the technology improves, I mean, essentially is
the price of memory. They'll flash memory, you can build
these things up. So they pretty much can document everything you
do in the car. Turn when you tell you when to turn the radio
on how loud you had the radio on. So when you're driving and
get into an accident, somebody can bet you know, some other
insurance company can get your black box. True, true discovery.
Yeah, and say, oh, this person has radio on way too loud. And
it was like, Is radio. Seriously?
Hey, we detected smoke. You wouldn't smoke smoking in the
car. You didn't have both hands on the wheel.
So at some point, you could document everything including
both hands on the wheel. You know, you just you know it's
just a it's just my way it's getting mo Stoli get mo n is its
seems to me not to be that difficult to do
I have a question for you, John from the technology department.
Now because you are of course our resident wine, the judge and
technology expert, techno expert. I'm a tech no expert. So
I was watching C span despite, you know, the party and
everything. I did have time and there was a very very long
hearing. with Department of Homeland Security. Did you see
this? This douche nozzle Schaffer and they're talking
about components coming in from overseas Of course, I mean,
China, already preloaded with spyware and key loggers and
stuff like that. Did you see this?
Or no, I didn't. But I know that's been going on.
Well, so here's what's and you'll just tell me when you've
heard enough of the clip, but it's so entertaining, you almost
don't want to stop. So we've got a question as being asked about
of this Department of Homeland Security douche nozzle Schaefer
saying, is it not true that there is spyware already pre
installed and all of the stuff that we have? And of course, you
know, this is the same stuff that the government uses,
because it's all private contracts? And the guy doesn't
want to answer the question. Oh, and the reason why is because,
of course, they're the ones installing it. Of course, it's
the government and stuff pre installing the spyware into our
computers. And that and he does not want to answer the question.
Thank you, I will now recognize myself for five minutes. One of
the emergency national security concerns is that you have
software, infrastructure, hardware, other things that are
built overseas, that come to the United States with items that
are embedded already in them by the time they get here to the
United States.
This poses, are you clipping your nails?
No. Obviously security and intellectual property risks.
What a is this happening? Mr. Schaefer, and B, what are we
going to do to fight back against this?
Thank you. Sure. The clearly supply chain risk management is
an issue that the administration is focused on that Homeland
Security working with partners at the table, and how are
they focused on I mean, is this happening? So is this happening?
Whether or not, there are specific examples of insertions
is something I'd rather talk about?
Rather not is it's just a yes or no question. Is this happening
or not? We believe
that there are is significant risks in the area of supply
chain, is
it happening to your best of your knowledge?
I'm sorry, I thought I thought I throw you a softball to begin
with. Is this happening or not? Thank you,
I missed the very beginning of the question and the wording
that you gave me and I apologize. I don't want to get
this wrong. Oh, what's wrong?
He's trying to he has he's if B isn't working, there's no one
telling him what to say. So he's gonna get so fired for this. I'm
so screwed if I if I do this wrong.
Are there any? Are you aware of any components, software
hardware coming to the United States of America that are
already embedded, that have have security risks already embedded
into those those components?
I am aware that there have been instances where that has
happened.
So what are you doing? What is Homeland Security doing about
what can we do about this?
This is one of the most complicated and difficult
challenges that we have the range of issues.
So it just goes on from there. But it the clip, the full clip
will be in the show notes 320 dot na show notes.com. So it's
clear that the guy he can't say no, because if it comes out
later, the truth of course, which is that the our own
government is having this stuff installed, so we can spy on the
people and other departments with on each other in the
government. He doesn't want to, you know, get thrown in jail for
lying. So we can't say no, but he doesn't want to say yes,
either, because then the question will be well, well,
where's this coming from? Who's doing it? He's really frightened
this guy, and he's just a low level douche nozzle. Wow. So
this is a great piece of testimony. I forget which
congressman?
Well, there's this vast for the last 10 years, there's been some
pretty elaborate and interesting key loggers that keyboard
loggers that essentially record everything you do and to a file
in terms of keyboard activity, and then sends it off in an
email surreptitiously. And most people don't know how much
stuff's being sent from their computer at any given time.
Anyway, all I have is a flashing light on your cable modem,
things constantly sending data, you don't know what it's doing.
And there was a company in New Zealand that specialized in a
very interesting key log system because most of the stuff if you
have you have two or three different good versions of some
anti spyware and anti virus software, you can spot the key
loggers unless they're built in as a rootkit on your operating
system. Generally speaking, you can get them off of there. But
there are some hardware key loggers that you can't do
anything about. And the best ones are made out of New Zealand
some years ago. And they were exact copies of or they weren't
copies. They took like a Dell keyboard that would go with one
of their top machines that would be sold to the government. And
in the keyboard. They would actually put With the keylogging
hardware, and it would do all the stuff in the keyboard is as
you were typing, and then the keyboard would have ever so
often talk to the mailing system or, or to some, some piece of
software that would then send the data to the home base.
Right. So
the so the issue is actually the keyboard itself. In fact, it's I
have one of these Apple wireless keyboards, I should probably
throw that out. We need to get I wouldn't, I would be very
easy to intercept an Apple wireless keyboard, which,
possibly the reason that they're so popular? Of course, you know,
we
need to have no agenda keyboards,
and a secure keyboard. Yeah, bad idea. I
made it made of wood, secure keyboard,
you know, but the thing is, you'd have to have it
manufactured from somebody, you'd have to debit checked,
you'd have to have some hardware guys go over it to make sure you
don't have that, you know, any spurious circuits. But that's I
think, is the keyboards nowadays that were the spying takes place
right at the keyboard level, right? Totally impossible to
detect. Yeah.
Oh, wow. Well, you know, we're all gonna die. Hey, that was an
interesting bill. You know how I love to read thomas.loc.gov. A
July 6 2011, Mr. Crawford introduced a bill, which is HR
2411, known as 2411. And would you like to know the subtitle of
this, this beard comes the reduce America debt now act of
2011. Here it is, it's voluntary withholding, from payroll for
reduction of the public debt. In general, and employee may elect
for an employer to deduct and withhold upon the payment of
wages by such employer amounts to be used to reduce the public
debt. This is where we've gotten to now. So you can go to your
employer and say, you know, I'm rocking it. So big time on my
paycheck, I would like to you to deduct some of my pay, and give
it to the government, in addition to my taxes, give it to
the government to pay down the public debt. Is this Am I crazy?
Or is this just like, who's going to do this?
Don't buddy, but I think you're I think there's a sense there's
a secondary point here. I think the idea is to establish a
precedent and a mechanism. So you can do Oh, geez.
Oh, my goodness. So I've taken the Lord's name in vain. Wow,
being Hello. Yes, you got it. Of course, we need the legal
framework, and then we can make it mandatory.
Well, not only mandatory, but if no, it would always be
voluntary. It would be like this. Well, Adam, I see that you
haven't been supporting your congressman and police
department with the volunteer donations, have you? Oh, my
goodness, you don't have to you don't have to? You don't have
to. But you know, you know, the guy who donated $2,000 to help
keep us, you know, in business. Hey, Oh, I'm sorry. We did that.
When did that rock go through your window?
Oh, check it out. Check it out, check it out. Amendment to the
1986 tax code of the IRS or general revenue, amended by
striking or at the end of paragraph blah, blah, and then
inserting the following New Paragraph any amount and
deducted and withheld pursuant to an election under Section two
of the reduce American debt now act of 2011. There you have it.
Wow,
a form of credit. Wait a minute. So you can extortion scheme to
do basically extort the public legally. Oh,
I think I'm gonna throw up. Wow. I didn't I knew it was bad. I
didn't know it was that bad? Well, I
mean, what else would it be?
Yeah, I know. You're so right. You know, I was in Ralph's
through a Wednesday night or Thursday night, and because I
wanted to get balloons for Mickey. And of course, I slept
during the day because
I thought you'd get the balloons on Hollywood Boulevard. Well,
I'm so I'm thinking Sunbelt.
So I go to Ralph's, which is kind of like a mid range kind of
supermarket and it's in the evening. And, and, and I go to
the counter, because you have to have them inflated with helium.
And I pick up my balloons, and I'm like, there's no one there.
And I'm waiting. I'm like, no. So finally, I spot a guy who
looks all flustered. The manager says, Hey, man, you got anyone
for the balloons? Yeah, I guess I want to know. And then Freddie
comes over Freddie's probably about 55 is Mexican and American
Mexican. Yeah, American citizen, I presume. And it's taken a
while because, you know, I got a whole bunch of balloons and he's
blown them up. And I'm like, Hey, Freddie. Man, your your
manager seems like kind of freaked out. And he said,
Freddie says yeah, you know, it's like we got no people here
and because there were only two checkout lines and it was like
long lines and in the Ralph's has like 14 Check 15 checkout
lines. This is no that we got no people. So what are you talking
about? Yeah, no, they were trying to compete now with a
Walmart and Target who are selling food and Um, and you
know, right now we're in negotiation, my union is about
to agree to a $2 per hour pay cut, and he has to pay for 50%
of his health benefits. And this guy can't make more than 10
bucks an hour. And like, wow, I said, Isn't Obamacare supposed
to take care of that? And he looks at me Fred, he looks at me
and goes like, they better not reelect that. cocksucker.
Okay, Freddie,
but can you believe that?
You know, the the Walmart up in Port Angeles in the Port
Angeles, Harrison of the town of scrim have decided to start
selling food and they literally put our favorite grocery
business out of business out of business. And it's just crap.
The Marketplace SARS marketplace, grocery store,
which is a great place had some of the best deals on everything
and a lot of ethnic food that you can't get anyplace else up
in the peninsula. And just they shut down because of Walmart
shut them down. Yeah.
And Walmart Freddie was saying is that Walmart is this crap. He
says, it's solid us packaged. It's crap, too. We have we
haven't learned
it down the street from me here in the northern Silicon Valley
area, and they have a big food section. They don't see I don't
see anybody shopping in there and all this stuff is
prepackaged. You know, there's not a lot of me they got a fruit
and vegetable section, but the whole thing is just stare out
crap. Yeah, crap section.
It's not food is crap.
No, they have, you know,
remember to visit burger.com. I have two clips. And then that's
kind of what I have. I think you might have a clip left. I have
another piece from C span. Which I want to listen to the whole
thing two and a half minutes. This is representative De Fazio.
And he is introduced a bill calling for an audit of the
Pentagon, which of course is a good idea. But in this rant,
which I think is called his turn at bat. He gives us information
that I did not know and is such an outrage if the American
public acts if Anderson Cooper were to get on the box and start
hammering this, like he hammers the Casey Anthony trial, people
might actually get an audit done and we'd be all freaked out when
we find out the truth. This is the biggest expenditure. This is
what our taxes go towards. This is what no one wants to reduce
because as the President said, we can just lop off 20 Vipers
and we can just lop that off. Maybe we can do that we got to
make sure our soldiers are safe. The gentleman
is recognized for five minutes. Colleagues 1990, Congress passed
a law that required that all all federal agencies, including the
Department of Defense, must have auditable financial statements
every year. Since that time, the Department of Defense has spent
$10 trillion 10,000 billion dollars and yet no audit has
been conducted. In fact, there are numerous problems with
accounting at DOD and their financial management has been
rated as high risk by the Government Accountability
Office. Unfortunately, the Pentagon being incapable of
being audited sought an exemption from audits. So in
2005, Congress passed a ban on completing an audit. It was
contained in Section 376 of the 2006 National Defense
Authorization Act. But 2007 or 2009, Congress got tough. And
they said, Well, look, we've exempted you from audits. But
let's have a goal, not a mandate, a goal of you doing an
audit by 2017. Yet last September. In a hearing,
Pentagon officials stated that meeting a deadline of 2017
Forever having their first ever audit of their books, and they
will spend $4 trillion between now and 2017. Without an audit.
They said they would need more money, more money to be
auditable. That's chutzpah that's incredible. So what we're
attempting to do here tonight, is to say that we're going to
suspend the exemption, the DOD, it's time for them to get their
books in order. There is nothing, nothing more important
for our men and women in uniform than to know that every dollar
every precious tax dollar is being spent properly to give
them the tools they need to defend our nation and the
taxpayers of this country concerned about our massive
deficit and the concerns that are being expressed here and
these deficit and debt talks downtown. The taxpayers need to
know that we're not wasting money in the single largest
annual account of the federal budget which is not audited the
expenditures of the Pentagon In 19, in fiscal year 2010, half of
DOD contract awards were not competed. That's half 140
billion of them. There was no competition at all. And in 48
billion there was one, one competitor. So we have a lot of
work to do here. The in 2000, the Pentagon Inspector General
found that $7.6 trillion in accounting errors, you know,
event of entries 2.3 trillion, quote, were not supported by
adequate audit trails are sufficient evidence to determine
their validity mean, we don't know where that $2.3 trillion
went
there you go. Adios MoPhO Wow. $2.3 trillion dollars and
uneditable by law by congressional mandate
Yeah, that's our Congress. That's the people you voted in
am I supposed to be depressed or is there a ray of hope somewhere
there's no ray of hope.
Yeah, there is. The aliens are coming.
So save us. I don't have anything to top that I do have a
kind of an amusing since you know, people were saying where
we're calling out different people as sleaze balls and
douche bags, and we tend to point the finger at the Obama
administration. But the right wing and the right wingers
though conservatives have got their own share of these people.
And I was just irked to know and because this woman and Coulter
that's debatable if she's a woman.
She comes on she's pushy. She's got she basically is a book
writing machine. And she cranks out books and she you know
they're not you know, they give you ramble. I've
never read her books.
She makes a lot of money. She's a good she's actually a pretty
good public speaker when you get to hear her too. She's not bad.
But she's really something me she is a douchebag the highest
liar. She
was a transsexual stage dancer in Florida. Yeah, that's
a myth. I don't think it's true. She's
got an Adam's apple. Yeah, she's
so skinny I think anybody would but anyways beside the point she
is part of the classic you know, she pretends to be in the Tea
Party and she's She says she's a big shot conservative and she is
but she's one of those checklists conservatives it's
really more of a Nazi I hate it.
That's a very good description.
And she and it began comes on this she has she has nothing but
disdain. Like a lot of these people I would put a bunch of
these so called conservatives in this camp. disdain increased
disdain for libertarians of the country. Complete disdain for
anybody who questions government interference in private life.
They always talk a big game, but when it comes down to it, they
are all for it. I mean, this is you know, we had this problem
with George Bush. So anyway, a she's on there with Stossel who
is a notorious libertarian, and he brings up the one thing about
legalizing drugs. He doesn't bring you bring it up. But I
mean, and we're talking about when we talk about legalizing
drugs, drugs we're talking about decriminalizing. And there's the
rationale for doing that is and and Portugal's The best example,
which is the nobody wants to talk about how great it turned
out in Portugal, but it did. And and all she does instead of even
arguing the point she just mocks him. And because he had to let
her on to plug her book. He doesn't really back you know, he
just says it. We'll do we'll discuss it some other time. But
she has his little laugh is phony baloney laugh that she
throws out and I kind of emphasize it at the end by by by
looping it, but I just found this extremely annoying. Sorry,
I'm sorry. I just I really detest this woman's attitude.
How about the
drug war that's a Republican scheme. War Republican.
When I come back and we discuss libertarians, I'm going to point
out that admits this mass of regulation you people cannot
stop talking about legalizing drugs and you'll deny it so
viewers roads a big one. It's a big one. All right, we won't we
will come back to that. Thank you very much Ann Coulter.
And by the way, he just talked about the drug war. He didn't
say anything about legalizing drugs. He just thought it was a
phony baloney operation started by the Republicans. And then she
jumps all over him. I mean, it did really people have to
rethink their attitude toward her. Well, I know your ad has
always been bad, but she shows up with the right arguments
generally, but she's she is one of these people. She's an
idiot and an annoying bitch. When I said it, they're all
annoying every On television is annoying. And in fact, I get
it's a real downer. But we sit you know, John and I do this all
week, we sit there and watch all this crap. So you don't have to.
And I love it when people send us messages that say, I don't
need to watch any of that crap, because you guys are doing it
for me. And you'll filter it and give me at least probably a
truer representation of what's being said and what the
messaging is. versus you know, it's tiring. It's tiring when
you have to sit through this. Oh, you think I don't get mind
controlled by blood and treasure?
That's why, you know, actually, we always that's a big fear that
I always have when I then now that I'm subscribed to The New
York Times, if you're lost my friend, you have to really be on
your best game. Because you can. I've done it before I remember
incidents during the show. For the last couple of years, every
once in a while, I'll come up with something. And I'll because
I've seen it from a certain perspective, and then it turns
out and then use you catch me and say, Wait a minute, you're
actually seeing it from the rear end, and you have the right
perspective. And then I go I do it with you once in a while. And
it's galling. Yeah, it's just like, death son of a bitch. I
was tricked. And that's one of the reasons by the way, we can't
do to smash the show solo.
Oh, no, no, no, you can't you lose, you will lose out and
become a mumbling mass of goo.
Yeah, and so but the point is, is so easy to get sucked in. And
this blood and treasure thing, which I glad that you found the
source. Well, I or listeners did is like a good example of, you
know, what we knew was something weird about it. But we couldn't
put our fingers on why we just knew it was weird. But we
couldn't document anything. And boom, yeah. And that, you know,
so it is very easy. It's very, actually very difficult to fight
it.
It's tiring, and yet you have you have to really be in the
right mind frame to do this. I mean, I have to have the sound
off. If I'm too tired, and I just can't watch anything.
I will say one thing that's interesting, because I've cut
and you have to cut more than a few things because we'll clip
them off TV thinking that's a good clip for a reason a but
then when you listen to it without all the body language
and all the you just listen to the words, you find reason be
that it's interesting. Exactly. And I've run into more things I
actually some of my best stuff on this show has been because
I've listened to the clips after I clipped them and you heard
something new,
you got to go back from to edit and that and well. It's just
it's it's how we hear different things in the bad acting
segments. And when the visuals are not there at all of a sudden
that becomes very clear. And now I'm tired. I do want to mention
for the many people who asked this is the Marriott jazz
quintet. The title of this track is on the seventh day, it is it
podsafe track and the many people asked me about it because
I love it. It's kind of soothing. It kind of brings you
into the you know, it's kind of like our birthing process this
track. So after the show was done so you can kind of like the
birth back into the cruel, evil world. In a minute, where are
we? Hey, John is always John Claude, good to talk to you. And
I'm spent
all right, well, Oh,
yeah. Okay, no agenda producer update coming up right after the
show ends on the stream. No agenda stream.com. from Gitmo
nation, West People's Republic of Southern California. Yay.
