I don't want refurbish
a refurbished on the on the website Adam curry, John C.
Dvorak
is Thursday, September 22 2011 times you get my nation media
assassination episode 341
This is no agenda
safely atop the hilltop Watchtower crackpot command set
in the People's Republic of Southern California. Yay in the
morning I'm the Muffin Man. I'm Adam curry everybody
and from Northern Silicon Valley the fogs rolling in and so as
the fog of knowledge, John C. Dvorak when I go on kill
the fog of knowledge. That's our show right there. We are the fog
of knowledge. Hey, John, let me started right off with some
media assassination.
Take it okay.
So people this is how it works. This is what our show is all
about is beautiful it came in just this morning as I was
watching see spins Hey, cuz that's what we do. So you don't
have to ask him. You probably already saw the news you
probably already heard about it. This is without a doubt the
words in here
so whenever they don't want you to pay attention to what's
really going on, they come up with something really awesome.
Just coincidentally released, coincidentally released the news
that muffins at the Department of Justice costs $16. And the
news Yes, it's being propagated now on the floor of our House of
Representatives.
Here he propagate everywhere. I do have a clip.
Let me play you my clip which I just got from C span. When do
you want me to play the your summary clip?
I think my clip will probably be better because it's produced.
Oh, Washington watch. Our Washington watchdog is on the
case tonight in good production. Okay, tough economic times for
America. A new audit of the Justice Department turned up $16
by taxpayers, and the muffins are just the beginning. John
Karl.
Yes, it's true. The Justice Department has found a way to
spend 16 bucks for a single muffin 10 bucks on a cookie. And
$8.24 on a cup of coffee. All part of the $121 million. This
one government department spent on conferences in just 24 months
$16 Muffins really? I mean, Washington get it? It's that's
insane. And I think that's again, that is why people across
this country are so frustrated. Nobody can tell us how an
ordinary muffin like this could cost $16 But this is just the
tip of the iceberg when it comes to the ways Washington wastes
your money. Just look at Herman the hermit crab or Rex the
mountain lion. The Department of Homeland Security has developed
several mascots to teach kids how to prepare for disasters.
Cut back to just one mascot. And by one estimate you save $2.6
million on production and program costs.
Yeah, hold on. Let's not go to the mascots. Let's stick with
the muffins. There's more muffins more about the muffins
pay attention to the muffins.
15 bucks for a muffin Come on. That's just one way that the
Justice Department is wasting your tax dollars.
It better be a good breakfast.
By the way, these chicks that do this on I don't know if it's Fox
or whatever. I love her voice. So I'm looking at her. I'm like,
Ah, she sucks
telling you that muffin. I almost feel like saying In other
news, there's a $16 muffin. That's just an example of some
of the outrageous spending that turned up.
But now on the floor of our very own government buildings.
Madam Speaker, do you know the Muffin Man? The muffin man the
muffin man? Yes, I know the Method Man. But he doesn't live
on Drury Lane.
This is representative poll. This guy I mean, he's he got the
calls like hey, man, I got not Muffin Man. But hey, man, the
man is really cool, dude. It's really really awesome. You got
to listen to this guy because he actually wraps it up with the
rest of this is the hands down. This is tonight's show material.
He lives at
the Department of Justice. Yeah, and is growing rich on selling
$16 Muffins. Yay. The Department of Justice Haley justice lane,
Justice lane. The Department of Justice's inspector general
states that at only 10 conferences. The Department of
Justice spent almost $500,000 on refreshments, refreshments
$50,000 per conference for are just refreshment. Forget
about the hookers the muffins are expensive,
and that includes $4,200 for a handful of muffins 250 Great
Madam Speaker. Writers critters call $16 apiece these are some
high dollar month isn't isn't a damn good Muslim Justice
Department is buying for its conferences and refreshments
fresh. Where do you even find a muffin that cost $16 Well tell
us I've never seen one Madam Speaker. Maybe they're shipped
in from a special bakery in France with some secret
ingredient. My favorite bakery in Texas
slam at France by the way, side sideways slammed France nails
in Beaumont tells me these things should be about $2 apiece
which is our price too. So why is the Justice Department what's
all those fancy lawyer fancy lighting the muffin man get away
with this price? Man because the muffin or because the government
doesn't care? No. It lives high on the hall. taxpayers money
wrap it up. So Madam Speaker Do you know the muffin man the
muffin man? I know the Muffin Man. And the government quit
should quit spending somebody else's money to keep the Muffin
Man rolling in the dough.
Oh, excellent. Eight.
All right, you guys. I'll give you a clip of the week.
Oh no, because I got more but this this this. This is very
important listeners to this program the best podcast in the
world. Your a news outlets are about to overflow with this
news. Please don't look at the $135,000 an hour it cost to fly
the b two stealth bomber because that ain't no regular muffin.
These are the muffins I wish he'd be outraged about these
muffins. Please, please don't look at the $50,000 an hour per
flight of the J 22. Raptor. Please don't look at all of
that. Please don't look at the drones that your president is
having built in North Africa. Please don't look at any of
that. It's millionaires and they're $16 Muffins. That's what
you should be worried about. That is the word of the nation
for today.
Yeah, well, and maybe you don't want to worry about story that
started breaking three days ago farmers flee as world's
deadliest volcano rumbles
wait a minute this is not second half of the show yet.
No, this is not a bull crap story. This is Mount tam Bora
where's that my mom tambores ninja Indonesian area all right
all right. There's one of the Whoppers if this sucker goes off
we got like two years of no food
well that's not true because I've got my crisis garden
Yeah, well I've been Yeah, I've heard that garden which grows
nothing but pepper you know what I understood
great peppers though. Feed Do you like peppers? Hey guys,
what's for dinner peppers. I got some meat some peppers in the
muffins so how can we want have any food no food at all?
Well though this this thing is one of the big ones like they
were there for it to throw a bunch of crap in the air and was
basically cut off sunlight for a while. is quite high on the
list. How far would
it cut off the sunlight? I would have cut it off over here. Well
yeah, really. That's that's a big cloud.
When the 90 Last time I went off as 1815 A widely forgotten
outside the region killed 90,000 people when it blew up guys just
Indonesia and black and skies on the other side of the globe.
Wow.
And so this thing is a rumbling didn't didn't didn't put out
something like a couple days ago as well doing that.
It's interesting because there's been a number of volcanoes that
have been active. The Icelandic volcano looks like it's you
know, that one that big one looks like it's shaken Saltman.
There's a volcano according to CBS News on last because remote
Aleutians is, I think is the one that you're thinking of because
it's coffin out some some lava
hey we need to make a whole big X to should be making a new
track. I think we can. Revitalize to Tennessee Ernie
Ford. Loaded 16 bucks would you got a no the beat muffin that
over the top.
No more stale.
Even worse than $16 muffin was stale. This will be your media
distraction of the week ladies and gentlemen. So we're glad
that you've tuned in for those of you listening live in the
morning to you, John.
Good morning to you Adam. And in the morning all ships and sea
boots on the ground feet in the air.
Yeah, you got to use a couple other one bakers in the kitchens
today. We'll say in the morning to Baker Baker Baker's making
muffins and of course, all of our human resources who are in
the chat room and oh Jenna stream.com No during the
chat.net listening live to the dulcet tones of Adam Korean John
C. Dvorak. Look at listen. I don't even know where to start
today.
Well, let me start with some big news. Big news. Breaking News,
New York on a
second. Jama, we have breaking news. We have really big news
from the New York Times over to our correspondent Sean Claude
Devaraya. John,
apparently ABC, NBC and CBS are going to start experimenting
with Trump with with a new well by commonly using a word in the
common parlance, seldom if ever used on network television and
is now going to be applied to a number of shows as an experiment
the word vagina
No, wait a minute. Wait, wait a minute. Explain to me the the
use of this word vagina and why are we now using it is as hasn't
been approved?
Yet? Apparently there are three networks have agreed to begin to
use the word vagina in various sitcoms in comedic situations
because
the vagina is a hilarious thing.
Well, it's very it's it has quite entertaining. It's not as
funny as the word Kook.
No, I liked me a good vagina joke. Seriously, is this like a
this was a precipice
is breaking story in The New York Times this morning. Wow.
And
the story literally says, yes, the three networks have agreed
that the word vagina is now can be used in a humorous
situations. Let's let's try a couple of examples. Hey, John,
your face looks like China. Would it be like that? Or?
God? I hope not.
How can vagina be a punch line mentioned
in less
than two and a half man. I don't know. Why oh, why? I mean, how
can you use vagina as a punch line?
I don't know. We're gonna have a scripture written. I can't wait.
But they've decided to do this.
So you know, I
noticed that they first started this experiment a couple of
years ago with the word penis. They started dropping it into
sitcom and it's funny. I don't think is that funny. But anyway,
yeah. So that now that you decided to up the ante here, oh,
kids is in play.
Wait a minute. So.
So they built this funny. That's a funny, funny word.
So they broke through the glass ceiling because the penis
apparently was already allowed and the vaginas amongst us were
angry. But they were not. So
I think some women's group protested the use of the word
penis without the use of the word vagina. They weren't
getting equal coverage, as it were the Vagina Monologues.
Anyway, so that's your news of the day?
Wow. Yeah, it is a huge deal. I have to it pains me. It really,
really speaking at the New York Times and of the stupid things
that are being put towards you as news. It pains me to say that
Keith Olbermann is pretty much the only guy on media. He's not
really mainstream anymore. Now that he's on Current TV. You
can't even find it. It's I think it's somewhere in the eight
hundreds on my channel box. He is the only one so far to
actually say something about the Occupy Wall Street
demonstrations. And he brought a guy on who has, I'm sure he has
a book out. And I just wanted to play this because, well, props
were props do he is the only one of all of any news outlets,
although again, he doesn't really qualify anymore, which is
why he can do it. Because, well, let's face it, Current TV has no
money so they don't have to nobody's paying attention. No
one's paying attention, but at least he's saying it now that
was pretty good to hear. It is
our third story after five straight days of Citians marches
and shouting and some arrests. Actual North American newspaper
coverage of this even by those who have thought farce or
failure has been limited to one blurb in a free newspaper in
Manhattan and a column in the Toronto Star. It started
Saturday when about 1000 people marched into New York's
financial district to express their anger over how the
financial system treats the majority of Americans what they
call the 99 percenters and to draw attention to the misdeeds
of Wall Street. They have been confronted with an ever
increasing police presence, which is blocking certain
streets and attempting to keep protesters away from the stock
exchange itself. While the protesters are peaceful tensions
are beginning to rise. According to the group's own website.
Seven protesters were arrested yesterday with four more being
arrested today. The police have resorted to using a 166 year old
law, which bans the wearing of masks in a gathering of two or
more people accepted masquerade parties. Simple solution to that
crap. Call those protests outdoor masquerade parties.
While the majority of the media is ignoring the public uprising,
it is not going completely unnoticed. Take for instance
Yahoo which blocked any email containing the group's website
with a message suspicious activity has been detected on
your account. Yahoo later acknowledged the error tweeting
We apologize for block walking Occupy Wall street.org It was
not intentional and caught by hours spam filters, it is
resolved, but maybe a residual delay.
By the way that was quite interesting. A lot of tweets
yesterday about Yahoo blocking the messages that contain the
actual URL, Occupy Wall wall street.org. And what a lame ass
excuse of Yahoo to come out and say, Oh, it was our spam filter.
No spam filters don't work outbound that is new to me. I've
never seen this message from Yahoo. Have you?
No, I haven't. I don't use Yahoo that much. So I can't say from
lots of experience. But now I know why I don't use it. That's
that's repulsive. But it's
such it's so incredibly blame. It's vagina of them to, to say
that. And but even worse, and this is where Omen goes wrong.
He doesn't come out and state the obvious as to why no one is
talking about this, these Wall Street protests which by the
way, it's a worldwide phenomenon. It's not just Wall
Street, there are other I think in like 37 countries, people are
not as maybe as big but they're they are occupying financial
centers, and staging protests. So here's the here's the guy
brings on who was an excellent journalist, he's like one of
these New York elite guys, and they're all They're gonna
dissect why no one is talking about this, why the New York
Times has not even written about this, their dissection, or
deconstruction is lame. But worth listening to.
It is a real disconnect. And the New York Times I mean, this is
the hometown newspaper of Wall Street. And there have been no
print articles in the New York Times to date with these people
camping out down there for four or five days now. It's crazy. I
think three things are going on. I think one, I think I think the
word disconnect that you used is is a very good word, because I
think a lot of people in newsrooms still are not in touch
with the real pain and the real suffering of 25 million
Americans who are unemployed and underemployed and in the
struggle to make ends meet there. So I think there's that I
think there's, there's something else and the media critic Jay
Rosen from NYU, right? Who was a dick about this all the time,
which is what he called savvy, which is, was to take these
people who want to change the world. Seriously, you know that?
I've seen a lot of coverage, like the New York observers
coverage is basically to make fun of these people. You know,
these are the guys with the masks we saw a couple of years
ago, weren't they? And to kind of put it down and not really
try and get to the bottom of what's going on here. And
there's that and as far as the Tea Party. You know, Keith, you
and I both know that newsrooms overreact to conservative QRP.
And they've been doing it since the days with Spiro Agnew.
But is it possible that because those people don't look like
mainstream newspapers or television networks, viewers or
readers, that they aren't old ladies with purple wigs or
purple dyed hair? And they aren't seemingly, you know,
typical Midwest with middle American Americans that they're
there in New York that that's what is that what the suspicion
is because you're not gonna be able to sell that, that
videotape or story about that protest to your audience?
Well, I thought it was funny that the biggest story in The
New York Times during the five days of the protest, the biggest
local story has been the demise of Ray's Pizza. And so so it is,
it is kind of like the great lady selling nostalgia to its
great gray haired readers. And I think there is an element of
that. And maybe the fact that the Tea Party protesters were
people
tonight. So what he's saying is, and there is an element of truth
to that is that the readers of The New York Times are not
interested in a bunch of kids camping. Now, I will say a few
things. One, there were several arrests made. So I think that is
newsworthy, but you only have to go back in history. And this is
what the New York Times should do. And listen to some of our
leaders who have spoken about this very problem. Since that
there is as far as I know, there may not be any audio. I couldn't
find it that quickly this morning. I quote from Woodrow
Wilson. Since since I entered politics, I have chiefly had
men's views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest
men in the United States in the fields of commerce and
manufacturing, are afraid of somebody. They know that there
is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so
watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that
they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in
condemnation of it. Or we can listen to JFK. We decided
long ago, that the dangers of excessive and unwarranted
concealment of pertinent facts, far outweigh the dangers which
are cited to justify it. Even today, there is little value in
opposing the threat of a closed society by imitating its
arbitrary restrictions. Even today, there is little value in
ensuring the survival of our nation if our traditions do not
survive with it. And there is very grave danger that an
announced need for increased security will be seized upon by
those anxious to expand In its meaning, to the very limits of
official censorship, and concealment.
So this is about the international banking cartel.
And if you think for one second that, that they do not have
influence on the media, turn off this podcast now.
Which reminds me of people who do our no agenda show or
entertainment site that have that lists all our movies. Put
the international on there, that's actually a good banking
movie.
It is indeed, when there was it was BCCI. Right? The we're
selling arms. I mean, they run the show 60 Pence 60% of
America's gross domestic product is from banking, these people
own everything. They own it, and it is not hard at all to control
what is printed or what is broadcast on television. It's
very easy. I saw it in my own little microcosm of MTV, amen.
Don't don't talk about it that way. Okay. All right. You're
just not going to do we're just going to burn that tape. We're
not going to do that. Okay. All right. All right. Like you like
your job correct. And like your job,
which is another reason, by the way, would be to our show, or
they wouldn't even get to hear that much.
Woodrow Wilson, by the way, of course, was responsible for
allowing the Federal Reserve to be created. I will say that when
he left office, he said that that was the biggest mistake he
ever made. He was really sorry. Well, right.
Thanks for nothing thanks, Woodrow. Good job, buddy man
named Woodrow
or Regina vagina. Boys are funny. Can't wait until the
first one comes out. So yes, indeed, you are correct without
people who support this show with monetary units. And in this
case, Federal Reserve notes
there would moronically enough
ironically enough, there would not be any cut any kind of news
that you that would come into your life that I mean that I can
think of.
So let's thank our executive producers for this show. All
right. We have two executive producers and and a single loan
Associate Executive producer. She Wolf, Douglas Jerrel or girl
or girl, I think is Terrell
Gero, Gero, Gero, Gero,
get came in with the $1,111.11 cent donation which
commemorating 11 1111 1111 which is coming up shortly this year.
So he's on in that little group of elite knights, John and Adam,
thanks for making me laugh and think you have become a regular
listening habit of mine and it's time I showed my appreciation
wallet. I can't quit you. While at it some karma for a new
project. I'm starting couldn't hurt. Okay, let's do that right
off the bat. Well, sorry. And do the D douching. At the same.
Oh, it's a double shot. Okay. Hold on a second. Let me let me
do that for you.
You've been de deuced
you've got karma.
That was very linear that time. Yes. I've
done I've had tighter.
Isn't. He's in Boulder Colorado. Dean Bertram. ACC Ra. Accra. I
think this is in Middle East someplace. Right.
ACC ra the Arabian consulate. I don't know ACC.
Anyway, that's no note he just said but he came in with a nice
three, four 5.67.
Yeah, that's awesome. That's a that is an actual giving level
on the website. Is it not? Yeah, I
believe so. Joanne Thompson, our Associate Executive producer
from West Lafayette, Indiana. She's wishing Happy Birthday to
her son. We'll give him a shout out later. This should put him
one half tonight hood. Please wish him good karma for the new
school year. Give him a karma
karma shot for the new school year.
You've got karma.
And those are our executive producers first show 341 We
remind people to go to divorce dad org slash and a gentle
divorce.com/in A no agenda show.com. And also no agenda
nation. Calm we can click on a donation button and also buy
yourself a sleeve T shirts. Yeah,
the slave T shirts are off the hook. I thought well,
let me let's go over this this issue that with the slave t
shirt and you Okay, so there was a board
meeting at vvO which was why I was in San Francisco. He came
up to San Francisco and and he says to me that he's going to
wear this slave t shirt during the board meeting during the
board meeting. And so I didn't believe him but there he was.
Yeah, wearing my slave t shirt. It's a great shirt.
Anybody say Anything not a soul? It was unbelievable. I do and a
half
hours of meeting and yeah, there was all kinds of questions like,
hey man, what you doing? You know, how's it in LA and, but
not like, Hey, what's with the sleeve t shirt with the barcode
wave D shirt is a barcode
I wore during buzz out loud. I did buzz out loud. That's
Mollywood show over there to CNET. And I wore it and you
know, they have cameras, and everyone's like, oh, I want this
t shirt where I get it. So no agenda nation.com is where you
can get the t shirt. I have commissioned Miss Mickey and,
and my sleeveless Christina to redesign the shirt because
although I think it's the the printing and the wording and
even the fake barcode is great. The shirt itself is a bit boxy,
the women think so we're going to have to work with Eric the
shill to come up with a different Schnitt as they call
it. It's not the right Schnitt. So it has to be you know, this
just boxy.
So they were they just women's versus that aren't boxy.
Yeah, but no sure. Yeah, but there are shirts. I mean,
there's a Hanes t shirt. So it's a good shirt, but it's just
there are different styles. I
get some cheaper from China. Yeah, anyway,
hold on a second.org/and. A, let's get some from them. Damn,
China's that's a good idea.
So a couple of ways. So that so that was, um, you know, it seems
weird to me that you would go that if you're a normal you
know, you're like a board member of some companies some buddy
some character comes in with a slave t shirt at the board
meeting you would say something and the ironing was afraid to
say somebody's going to bite their head. So
the irony was lost on him because you know, I'm a slave
there I am sitting in the damn board meeting. It doesn't mean
no good. You know, I have stock certificates. They still say pod
show on it. Three fleet three financing rounds ago. I mean, I
don't have to explain to you what that means. John,
as it means that that you might as you can use them as
wallpaper. Get some money. Yeah,
I'm a slave. Here I am. I'm a slave. So you're gonna get my
health benefits I'm showing up. Hi, how you doing? And Penny
wavier? Yeah. As a couple of PR mentions that are very apropos
today. Thank you so much Steven tester for being on the ball. He
registered for us. $16 muffins.com Yeah, this is
the kind of this is the good stuff guys.
This is a quick draw
16 weapons.com I really really liked that we have some good
ones actually say these of course according to no agenda
show.com I got nothing to hide.com another one fording to
the show, which I think is a great one. Unbelievable that
this is not registered cocked. pistol.com Which of course is
DEFCON one. According to our US government drill, which will be
taking place I believe on the 27th of September where the
President will actually be shuttled underground in the
mountains of Colorado or maybe the under the airport we're not
quite sure. So cocked pistol.com which had good some good SEO
juice for us. Thank you very much. Is that that Steve
Thompson this time actually did that. So great job. And then the
final one, yet again? I'm surprised because it's a word
that's been around since 2008. Now registered and pointing to
the no agenda show.com website, Obama bots.com Oh, gee, how was
it possible? I mean,
I'm always stunned doing PR
for these for the Republicans. That's like stupid and we've got
it we have got it
might be repurposed for something fun. Yes, for sure.
For sure for some time I just have a like a blog that just how
you we find these Obama bots are all over the place. Yeah, Andrew
either to share photos, posted links to various YouTube videos
where the bots are talking
to each other. Hey, bud, how you doing buddy? Yeah, I'm good. But
with a buddy Peter, thank you very much to Douglas girl.
Jarrell when we hopefully will get a pronunciation before we
night to Douglas who is 11 1111 Night Dean Bertram. So of
course, Douglas will be also executive producer of the show
for today. Dean Bertram with the three four 5.67 donation great
giving level and that should certainly bring them some karma.
Thank you very much Dean and Associate Executive Producer and
loan she Wolf, Joanna Thompson with her two, two 2.22 donation
We highly appreciate that it keeps us on the air keeps us
motivated. And we're very, very proud of it. Of course, you can
do one very important thing which has to do with propagating
our formula. Our formula
is this. We go out. We hit people in the mouth
shut up saying that sounded like remember back in the old days
when you'd have the edit on the magnetic tape and it would roll
across the head and it would like anthem fumble out like
that. That's what it sounded like the digital version of it,
I guess. Anyway, so I was in San Francisco, went up on Tuesday.
And I was I really had only three things to the board
meeting, of course, at which I were the brand new slave t shirt
for buzz out loud with Miss Molly wood. We practice our in
the morning wood program, which I think went great. I promoted
the show in so many different ways. If you are brand new and
you are listened to buzz out loud, welcome to our little
family. We throughout the Rick Perry sucks.com. Shut up
slaves.com Chem trail.me. This is the cool thing about all
these different domain names. You don't have to become
repetitive when you're promoting the show. So I said no agenda
show.com once but then I slipped in these other ones along the
way. That was and we talked about stuff two
streams down they say
is it No? No streams? Good here? Oh, no,
that's not good here in Albany. And here we go on.
So that was a lot of fun. And the chat room there was
infiltrated Of course, which was great.
How many listeners were there?
I don't know how many. I don't know.
What's What's your show? Get?
I have no idea. Yeah, it's popular. Well, it's so popular
that they're doing away with it daily and going to once a week
so it must be doing great. Yeah, that's rockin. And then, of
course, John and I are actually the Tuesday evening we had one
of our famous dinners. And I will say right up front, just
like my airfare and my hotel at the luxurious Marriott courtyard
on Second Street. The dinner was financed by the Nevio credit
card, which is still good through the month of October. I
don't know if I'm getting a new one. After the whole sleeve t
shirt thing Well, not
if you keep actually using it.
From your personal expenses were a bit high this month. Yeah. And
we had a dinner at fifth floor in San Francisco. And since
people are always asking us to do a little more food and wine
talk on the program. I think we should just discuss this
briefly. John, if you don't mind, I would like to kick it
off by saying John was a total dick to the staff which was
quite hilarious.
was not a total Yang.
We're here's how it goes. John is looking through the wine
list, which is kind of the most important part of our meal since
John has a wine expire aficionado and he's looking
through and he's grumbling and he's moaning he's like is the
summer Lea here somewhere yeah is
dramatized my life it sure makes a lot more interesting than
reality.
By the way yeah, I'm saying John was dressed in his crocs his
jeans and a shirt hanging out your shirt tail just hanging
out. I even made because I dressed up I had a you know, I
had I was dressed up I was dressed in black and look good.
And I always think that we look like you know gay lovers when
we're in these places. And we show up at like at 530
Any I've never seen any gay guys. I think I've watched it.
I think we look like like you're my gay sugar daddy. I'm telling
you
until I pay, which is when they get thrown off. White man. How
did that work? Wait, wait a minute. And as John's bitching
and moaning give me dissemble. Yay. And the sommelier comes
over she her name was what was her name? Sue. She's from Long
Island and John's like watch she'll be a psycho. She'll be a
psycho so you're like setting me up and of course she was a
psycho. And here's how it goes. John goes. This bottle of
Shakalaka slacker plot looks underpriced.
And she was she was like
John's like why is it underpriced? What, what did we
wind up purchasing? John?
We had a postcard from one of the burgundy vendors and it was
underpriced. So I figured it was crummy. I wanted to get some
feedback from her. She wasn't giving me any feedback. And she
wasn't trying to upsell us or anything else she didn't seem
to. She said yeah, it's probably under price because we put all
the wines on sale. And then we ended up buying that wine
anyway. And it was the last bottle which I've always
considered to be quite funny. And it was okay. It was good.
You'd like to lie I
did. I was not well from the meal itself that evening.
Yeah, I've run into a lot of this kind of thing. And this is
why I don't really eat out at these high end places so much
anymore because they try to they do these experimental things
that are just like El Bulli style cooking where they make
like there's little eggs that were actually apple juice or
whatever and I wonder whether or not they know what they're
doing. I think they're also doing a lot of Su V Eid, which
we bitched about on the show before our I have explained to
the SU V is that slow cooking where you mentioned the cooking
at some with a camera, or that it's actually lower than the
ambient air temperature in Phoenix, Arizona during the
summer. And you cooking in this low temperature in that plastic
vacuum packed bag. In a special device. This is being promoted
by Thomas Keller at the at the French Laundry and it's also
Nathan Myhrvold at Microsoft has become something of a aficionado
of Su V his articles in the New York Times about it. And he's
got his big gastronomica book that he's put out. And he's a
big su V promoter. And now they're selling su V gear at
William Sonoma. And I went in there and was bitching about
this with one of the because this is a health violation. I
mean, this, the I just find these devices to be pushing your
luck for producing anaerobic bacteria. And because it's in a
vacuum, and you have all these elements, you can get botulism,
it seems
I had botulism. I think I had botulism. Because I woke up at
like 230 in the morning. And I was not well, I don't want to go
into details. But I was not well, and And seriously, I was
like I read the entire financial times on the can.
That's really bad. Yeah.
And here's what I had. I had the it was the quintet of oysters,
which I, I when I asked you when you said well, the month has an
R in it, but then you said January is the best. And I and
I'm thinking it might have been the oysters
that I had the same oyster. So what you may have had a bad boy.
So we
had we shared all our food, because I had the pork maybe my
stomach was just not used to pork and I normally would not
have pork, but I was like okay, you know, I haven't had pork in
a long, long
things on your pork plate. Yeah. Then I had and so that's
possible something on that plate. Or there may have been a
bad oyster or what else was it? We had you there wasn't as was
there a third thing? I think there was a you had some I
didn't have which was
oh, I had the oh, I had the foie gras. Ah, that could be it. It
could have been the foie gras.
Yeah, it was just a heavy if you haven't been eaten out a lot
that can make you sick. Possibly. Yeah, yeah, I had a
salad or something. And in general, I would let me make
another boy do like to follow our food chat. And
by the way, yes, we did. We did eat off each other's plate we do
that. That which just makes it all the more gay. Honey, can I
try some of your veal
so you keep pushing this I'm wondering about you. Anyway, so
the the what was I saying
for I don't know you had something you wanted to say
something?
Oh, man. He interrupted me and I lost my train of thought on the
show. I'll come back to Lipitor. But anyway, one of the things by
the way, I don't eat for flog raw is maybe the complaint.
Because you know for one thing is trendy because oh, we're
gonna it's gonna be made illegal in California. But the joke of
it is the frog gras. We get most of it. The United States is duck
liver. Yeah, it's not good. It's real flog raw is goose liver.
And the difference is is remarkable. I mean, goose liver.
The real flog raw is quite tasty. It's fantastic. I have
never liked duck liver flog raw. I think it's tastes funny. And
it's been I don't know what they've done to torque torment
these ducts to get those livers that big but
they pump they pump tubes in their throat the same
disease. It's just not a product I'm no and on. Well, I never
fought for grime. I'm more than happy to eat. It's delicious.
Yeah. Anyway, and then of course, when I had ordered the
pork and you had ordered the veal and they came out with two
wheels. Yeah. And we're like, dude, not true. And the guy
comes back so like my finger slipped on the computer and I
was like whatever load of crap that was to overall I would give
on a scale of one to
20 Wait, wait, let's get one more little jibe in there. Okay,
comes back and he says the chef will make it up with the SEC
with a special course for you or some sort Yeah,
and he brought me a piece of bread here there was nothing
especially
bread so we got the veal and the pork and I'm surely convinced
that the veal was just left under the heater because it
wasn't only under the heat lamp for sure. He was a little dry
and so I got screwed in the deal you did it was dry your view? No
you got sick you didn't mention that. Well we didn't see Haiti
when I get sick it Oh get it especially an expensive
restaurant. Yeah,
cuz I think the total bill was it was very expensive. Yeah,
yeah, it was very expensive. Out of the no agenda money we finish
No, no, no again, it was on the bvo credit card. So because we
we would not be able to afford that meal. Like no, not for us
anyway. Yeah, that's that's disappointing. But you know,
this this place has gone through, it started off as a
fantastic place and it lost a chef and then they went to
another chef and there was was supposed to be better and he
wasn't in in the place decline who came back and what? Now
they're chef and then they finally had this female chef who
I thought was still there. That's one of the reasons I went
there. And no, she's not there anymore. And so they got this
new guy so and the new guy the food was okay, or seemingly so I
guess not. But I suspect there may be some su vida involved.
And there's nothing you know, to my way of thinking that anything
that has the only
thing that we that we both liked, and we'll both try in our
cooking endeavors at home is the tomato water made into shaved
ice.
Yeah, that was that was that was that was very cool. But I gotta
i By the way, just right in the middle of this I got a note
saying turn off stream intro it's starting over and over
again every minute.
Yeah, no, I can't help that. That's not they changed
something on the streaming server. I have nothing to do
with it.
Okay, right. Yeah, no, the ice
apparently the stream had the frog Roswell today.
Thank you. Water. Frozen was pretty good. I can use that ID
anyway,
on a scale of one to 10 I give. Fifth floor in San Francisco is
6.5.
Really? I'm feeling them? Yeah. Never give a restaurant that
high a number.
Well enough. I was traveling, so I'm I don't know. But what else?
What else could I have been sick from? Yeah, I was like this. I
didn't have any crap at the airport, you know? So maybe it
was because of the port and my innards just aren't used to that
anymore.
But you said this now what is this about poor? Can you? Well,
I eat meat.
Yeah, but I don't I never eat pork. Why? I'll just never do
it's I mean, it's not like a big deal. You know? You know, it's
just what it is. What it is.
All right. Well, so that so I guess we're gonna go back there.
No, well, fat chance we're gonna see each other anytime soon.
Now you get up, oh, well, I'm gonna go down to LA.
Yeah, keep threatening, you better hurry, because we're
going to be leaving soon. We're leaving the state of California.
By the way. Here's something I found out. This is abhorrent. So
even though I have nothing, and this was in the board meeting,
even though I'm just a shareholder, a board member, I
receive a pittance. Actually, I get some minimum wage alone. So
that I can have health insurance from the company, which is
what's kind of my deal. Alright, so that's bad on me for cutting
a dumb deal, because now the company is actually making a
little bit of profit, not a huge amount, but it's making some
profit. You know, God knows how they do it. But it's
congratulations, good on everyone who works there. That's
awesome. So the state of California has changed I didn't
get to talk to you about this has changed the taxation rules.
And so you know, for a good five years, almost six millions of
dollars went into this company. And for you know, four or five
years, big losses were made millions of dollars of negative
results at the end of the year, money being pumped in blood,
sweat and tears being pumped in a real way of providing jobs.
And we've provided jobs for probably 150 People over maybe
even more over that period of time. And there still is still
like a good 25 people there now. There's real work real
opportunity, small company. Now, typically, up until the changes
made by Jerry Brown. You could carry your losses forward for
your taxes. Not this year. The state of California has now
dinged the company we finally made a profit. Oh, I'm sorry.
You can't carry forward those losses all those millions of
dollars that you invested. No, no, no. You have to pay not just
a taxes on your profit but estimated for this year.
That's another good way to drive business out of the state of
California. No
kidding. I mean that that is egregious that
back ends Nevada back you know, no,
Austin, Austin, Texas. You?
Oh, yeah. Well, there's a lot of weird stuff going on. There's
there's a scramble for money. So these governments can stay in
business in Oakland right now. My wife brought this to my
attention. There's a bunch of these anti blight laws. And
here's how it works. You you are say you're an investor and you
and you go to West Oakland and you see a blighted property. In
other words, the things boarded up all the house you want to
design the market has been foreclosed on is basically known
unknown by anybody. So you want to fix it up. So you buy it, and
it's done. The minute you buy it, the Oakland officials slam
you with a black eight penalty because you're you're now owning
this blighted property. And then they put liens on the property
that you just bought. So you can't sell the property and you
can't get loans to fix up the property because there's liens
on the property. And this is, you know, 10s of 1000s of
dollars worth of liens. So you have to either abandon the
property and leave it blighted, or you or you, or you have
unless you have a deep pocket, you can't do anything. So
essentially, they're trying, and we figured out that what they're
trying to do is that there's federal money available for
cities that are blighted that he had nothing but crap whole
cities that are just falling apart, because you can get
federal money. So if you start fixing these places up that
federal money dries up,
by the way, I love it when people in the chat room same
stereoview right. We're starting the company in San Francisco.
Yeah, what companies have you started douchebag Yeah, how many
companies have started how many people are provided with work
and opportunity and jobs?
You see good being distracted by people in the Yeah, you're
right. I'm
sorry. Blight.
Well, light well, though, but of course, this
is just like, for one thing, there's a money grab for people
who tried to fix things up of both from both the feds and the
individual. So they can stay in business in these little, of
course, l halls. Of course, same thing with parking meters and
everything else and and tickets. I mean, if somebody's you know,
speeding tickets and left turn tickets and everything, they can
check this out, Oh, check this out, right. Now, check this out,
check this out, I got a scam, that'll make you even angrier.
So Mickey made an honest mistake. And she, she did a U
turn where she shouldn't have bad um, and she was really
freaked out about it, because she really tries to, and she
drives a lot. So being us Shit happens. So she gets a ticket
for $380. Which, by the way, will remind you not to do that
again. But in addition, it says, And this is the crazy thing, if
you want to make sure that you don't get a point on your
license. And it says right there which will affect your insurance
rate. You have to add an additional $65 to the fee just
for the fact that you are going to then go to traffic school,
which is an additional payment. And do you know how many hours
you have to go to traffic school? Eight hours? Do you know
what that costs eight hours of traffic school?
Yes, a couple 100 bucks. So I went to traffic school I finally
did it online. And because there's online said which just
shows how bogus it is. I think I told the story there's a number
of years ago I think I told on an earlier show most people
probably don't remember it or having heard error. They weren't
listeners den. So I go to this traffic school in Chinatown
Oakland and this guy's this guy's given us all kinds of
weird information about how you can't change your insurance
companies because it's a scam. There's a centralized company,
if you start swapping your car insurance, they start jacking
your rates up and then they the other guys know about it and
they won't give you a better deal and essentially in a tells
you about all kinds of traffic laws that you've never heard of.
And it's just a part of a scam system to grip you off. One
thing oh, this is pretty interesting. This is amazing
that the California would allow this guy to be blowing the lid
off all this stuff this Chinese guy. And so we take a lunch
break, go to get some food in you know, we're in China towns,
great places to eat. I come back. There's There's tape all
over the place crime scene. The cops have arrested the guy
arrested the guy and hauled him off to jail. Excellent. And I
saw the two cops or two undercover cops that were in the
class.
There was something just speaking of the craziness of
Gitmo nation. This was on Judge Napolitano. You know, the Fox
Business whatever he is the new Glenn Beck who by the way, I
have a bone to pick with later on. This this is how the court
system works in America. Listen to this.
Paul Berggren is a former Assistant US Attorney in New
Jersey, who became a well known and much sought after criminal
defense lawyer. He's represented such luminaries as singer and
actress Queen Latifah and rap star Lil Kim, Mr. Berger and now
finds himself in the crosshairs of his former colleagues, as a
federal grand jury in Newark has indicted him for conspiracy to
murder a witness who had been preparing to testify against one
of Mr. Bertram zone clients. After firing spiring several of
his attorneys Mr. Bergin has decided to represent himself in
the same courtroom in which he wants successfully prosecuted
bad guys. But this is only the first half of the story. The
second half of the story is this. The government has
persuaded a federal judge to have Mr. Berggren wired with a
taser under his belt. And the judge has warned him that if he
moves anywhere in the courtroom where he shouldn't go, or says
anything the Feds don't want to hear a US Marshal will zap him
with the taser.
I love it. That's how all court proceedings should be done and
it should be broadcast live this I think
thing around their neck like that'll
blow your head off. This is awesome. This is a very this is
you know, they're all just thinking TV. They think in
reality Judge Judy should do this. We should have the
People's Court with tasers. This is great. Hey I loved that. That
to me that was like wow, that is perfect. This is what it's come
to in our justice system. No one of those no one of those guys
eaten $16 Muffins. They're laughing it up. They're like
your life was given to zap him just happen for no good reason.
I
just, I'm sorry. I'm just gonna write him and I'm really sorry.
10 bucks.
If you do do it's gonna say you slipped.
I didn't mean to do it. I'm sorry, man. It was just a
mistake. What can I tell him bucks? 10 bucks, no problem.
Okay, I'll
do it. But then that, you know, just to stay on the polytunnel.
Let me just find this clip for a second. Something very
distressing. Boy, I'm sorry.
This show is hard. He has nothing but it is you know, if
people watched that show, they would get really upset.
Well, the judge is is now no longer in favor with me. Listen
to this clip. A few items
from our freedom files. Chuck Schumer never met an opportunity
to call for big government intervention that he didn't like
the senior senator from New York who once mentored the now
disgraced former congressman Anthony Weiner, wants the Food
and Drug Administration to issue warning labels on apple juice
shipped from China, saying that it's okay to drink the juice
despite some traces of arsenic. It seems that last week when my
TV colleague and friend and fellow New Jersey and Dr. Mehmet
Oz Oops,
my friend, my friend, Dr. Oz really? Did he say that he said
that. My my colleague, friend and fellow New Jersey, okay
to drink the juice despite some traces of arsenic. It seems that
last week when my TV colleague and friend and fellow New Jersey
and Dr. Mehmet Oz warned about Nam,
sorry, Judge, that doesn't cut it with me. So Judge Napolitano
is
off the show on the watch list.
He's Uh, he's on the No, no agenda, watch list, we're
watching you judge, I don't care, you know, we're watching
you, I got to get to a couple of just crazy this, for those of
you who haven't been following it. And actually, I think it is
being followed, because I got interview requests from the
Netherlands, to come on political talk shows, to discuss
the new concept of taxing rich people more to pay for the
poverty, essentially. So this is now a world that everyone is
watching the United States because of course, what we're in
the middle of right now is our very own version of Greece.
These are austerity measures. Which, to the max just said,
we're not calling it austerity measures. We're calling it you
know, paying your fair share, or whatever. And, and I think we
should deconstruct this a little bit, John, even though we did
talk about it during dinner against all the rules, and that
was not so good. But first, here's the president coming out
to the Rose Garden, because what I did for you, and if you've not
listened to it, on the previous program, I deconstructed the
entire JOBS Act for you the American Jobs Act. And it shows
you that the infrastructure bank and you know, people being able
to buy up houses for free and you know, getting slaves to work
for free and, and so it's a whole bunch of crazy stuff. And
we're not talking about how it's paid for. And, you know, we're
talking about what it is, what is this going to create any
jobs? And then, of course, the President comes out with his
entire package. And the package is, you know, contains like, a
trillion dollars for troops. We're going to draw down Yeah,
hold this guy who cares? You know, it's all it's all
political show anyway. But listen to what this douchebags
so there shouldn't be any reason for Congress to drag its feet.
They should pass it right away. I'm ready to sign a bill. I've
got the pens. All right.
I've got the pens already. Really. This thing is not it
hasn't even been introduced as a bill. It doesn't get introduced
until probably the second week of October. Do people not pay
attention to the political process or know how it works
anymore? Is the media just sitting there going like pens
already? Wrote pens ready? The pens are ready. We can sign it?
Yeah. The bill hasn't been introduced. In fact, a stopgap
measure was introduced. And even that would they can the
Republicans just said no, we don't or they had their version.
Nobody. The Democrats didn't want that. It's just it's a
joke. We actually have another one of the stopgap measures, you
know, being introduced instead of the bill, what is the stop
gap measure? That means, in other words, you run out of
money on the end of September? Oh, I need to have some more
money. So let's just do what we've been doing until November.
And let's put that in. And what
is interesting, you should mention that because remember
how there was all this grandstanding about when the
president should actually have that have that speech? member?
He wanted to have it on Wednesday and no, right?
No anyone to have during the Republican debate, right,
decided to have it on opening day of NFL why? What was the
rush on either one of those two days? Well, I
figured out what it was all about. So on so it happened on
September 8, the speech. And on that very day, the US Senate in
an unusual procedure cleared the way for the US to lift its
borrowing authority by 500 billion to $15.19 trillion,
enough to keep the support there enough to keep the support for
the federal government borrowing money through late January or
early February. So what these bastards did it can we remember,
that was the big portion for $400 billion, but hidden in that
provision, that provision number after raising the debt limit?
Was this little trick? It's a it's a legislative procedure
procedure. Here it is. The action came under an unusual
legislative procedure spelled out under the August agreement
to raise the US debt ceiling avoid a US credit default. It
doesn't exactly explain we're here designed by Senate Minority
Leader Mitch McConnell would allow an increase of the
borrowing limit while allowing most Republicans to vote against
such an increase. So they actually timed everything to
obfuscate from the public. The fact that Senate raised the
spending limit by $500 billion, which we were not told about
because no one was no one was reporting on it. On the very day
of the speech.
Yes, because everyone's all keyed up for the speech now that
we're keyed up for football. Well, that's well, yeah, exactly
the Makita for
football and as you know, on this program,
because words do matter.
Here's a word that I looked up. This again, is from the Rose
Garden, the President talking about his plan being introduced
from the pens being at the ready,
profligate spending in Washington. tax cuts for
multimillionaires and billionaires. The costs of two
wars and the recession turned a record surplus into a yawning
deficit
as a yawning deficit. That struck me as a strange word to
use a yawning deficit. So look it up. yawn, verb, involuntary
open one's mouth wide and inhaled deeply due to tiredness
or boredom. Noun a reflex act of opening one's mouth wide and
inhaling deeply due to tiredness or boredom. Derivatives an
adverb yawning Lee What does he mean by a yawning deficit that
the deficit is standing it like with its mouth open like a bird
waiting to be thrown up into I mean, what does that mean?
is maybe he didn't say the right word that was on the
teleprompter.
Let's just listen to it again.
It was very interesting current surplus into a yawning deficit a
yawning deficit.
What does that mean? Just like with mouth wide
deficit, what would your some meaning because his oscillation
you know could be
so you think he might have misread the word?
Well, I don't see how you can use yawning
I found that to be you know, I listen. I hear you say you're
going to be going from left to right. But that's not true.
Because the deficit is only going in one direction. It's
it's hard to stern. But yawning, it's like
something Jay Carney should answer.
Jay Carney did answer Oh, my God. You know, my dad once
taught me something which he picked up somewhere along the
way. I haven't learned a lot from my dad. But a couple of
things I've learned. And I've stuck with me. And this is
probably from some training he's had which will go on named that
when someone is speaking and they stick out their tongue,
like lick their lips or something, or literally just
just their tongue just protrudes for a second. That means that is
a lie. That it's bullshit. Would you agree that this is a well
known fact in
behavior, but I have observed it myself.
When when someone sticks out their tongue while they're
talking then that's usually a lie. or something's going on
because Jay Carney and I watched this entire I always watch the
press briefings ad nauseam. It is usually featured on C span.
He doesn't stick out his tongue often. And he wasn't stick He
had his tongue in questions before this. But during the
questions about this book that came out right,
about book clip, yeah, I have the same clip of Carney. Yeah.
He goes on and on saying, I know it's a bull crap book. I never
read it. No, but
well, I'll play I'll play mind. And I want to because it may be
two different ones. So here's I don't think so. Look,
I too, have not read the book. Although I've read a lot about
it. What we know is that very simple things, facts that could
be ascertained, dates, titles, statistics, quotes are wrong in
this book, right. So I think that, in fact, one passage seems
to be lifted almost entirely from Wikipedia, in the book
that I thought was very interesting.
Yeah, it was a chickenshit cheap shot when he gets called, by the
way, by the way that Wikipedia is public domain. So you don't
lift it you you but he
gets called. They were necessary. It Listen, it took
decisive leadership. It took clarity of vision about where we
are. And it took us a willingness willing to suffer
blah, blah, blah, muffins, political risk swirl, in order
to do the right thing for the country. It was absolutely at
the heart of all the decisions the President made. And the
President made them here we go. What part was lifted from what
competing, we can get that for you. It's just almost a word for
word. I don't know. I don't know.
Where did you get that clip? From C span? Because I have the
same clip but there's a whole bunch of stuff in my clip that
you don't have it's exact same clip. Why? Well, I
forwarded it I didn't I forwarded to the to the to the
question about what part was looking so you
jumped past the part where he says it wasn't the life that
they led and all the rest. Yeah,
I don't give a crap because he was sticking his tongue out the
whole time. Like a little lizard. But
yeah, well, he's uh, this whole thing. This is I've never read
the book, but it's wrong. And here's why. Well with that
though, that's right. There isn't it's either an out and out
lie and white by the way, if you're the press secretary,
aren't you on top of these things? Is that I mean, I know
Cheney used to pull this crap it's beneath me to read that
book. But but the fact of the matter is if you're the press
secretary, it's your job to read that book immediately. Yes. And
he says he didn't read it so he's what he doesn't give a crap
yeah
he's lying because he didn't read the book there's
no way she's lying but he but he can't quote the Wikipedia page
so you know some some intern would like him ons from wiki.
Hey, man, let me put this in Wikipedia so we can say it was
lifted from Wikipedia.
Yeah, and you can do that quite easily. Yeah, well, they can no
effort to do exactly what you describe the way
could somebody please change my picture on my wiki page? I look
like a dick. Please put it put an updated picture in there look
like a dork. It's like it's a horrible picture. And I'm afraid
I'm afraid to change anything there's plenty of good pictures
of me put a good picture up there please with me and my dogs
and put in the fact that I'm by curious put up put it in there.
I put in some stuff there for me well sensitively
by curious Obama born in Arlington, Virginia. Yes, I was.
Which a picture is not that
bad. It's a horrible picture. You're coming from the fashion
icon that you are John. It's a horrible picture. Anyway, the
President made a very interesting stumble. I'm talking
about his whatever he was talking about. And and it's
funny. The clip. It's just a very you can hear him laughing
at him. That they're literally laughing at his stupid mistake
about this is the the he's trying to say my way or the
highway.
Oh, yeah, this is hilarious. This is a good one. But the
people are laughing
at him. I can't believe it. Now they're happy.
So the speaker says, We can't have it my way or the highway
and then basically says my way or the highway.
And they're all laughing in the background. I can do this. I can
probably show the speaker says you can't have it my way or the
highway. And then he says my way or the highway. Like, you can't
read the prompter, you fool.
You fool. That's probably the prompter. Whoever put it in the
prompter did a poor job.
Yeah, they didn't lines. Line separations probably was bad. Or
someone didn't scroll up quick enough. Now the President was at
a democratic fundraiser as he does. And wait
before you go there. Let's play this clip. Sure. I have this
because do you have any idea what it costs to have a dinner
with the president and some fundraiser play my clip from the
news is like yesterday's news because he's because Obama was
coming back to San Francisco on Sunday. Yeah. And he's gonna do
a dinner and he's gonna say hello. He's gonna do this. But
check this out play the dinner, Obama dinner price clear, isn't
it Obama is coming back to the bay area on Sunday he
will have two fundraisers, one in San Francisco, the other in
Atherton. The Atherton event is a dinner that cost $35,800. A
couple. And then on Monday, the President will host a town hall
at LinkedIn app in Mountain View, to vorak.org/in.
A
35. What's the 800? For? How can
the 35,800 for an extra eight marking? rounded off?
It's for valet parking?
What it What a rip?
Yeah. But that's for a couple. Oh, yes.
It's actually a bargain in disguise.
For the price of 38,800. So it doesn't 800.
So interesting enough, when we talked about the the White House
insider who's been doing these interviews for true or not, you
know, he's talking about, you know, there's going to be a race
war this, this administration will take it to race wars, to
get the president reelected. And I think they're kind of starting
this with the class warfare because of class warfare very
quickly, you can go into a racist conversation. And you
watch Bill O'Reilly and people like this are going to take it
to the to the race, they will pull the race card on this. So
it's I think that has already started. But regarding this
class warfare, here is what the President said at one of these
fundraiser dinners, which I found a bit astounding,
you're already hearing the Republicans in Congress dusting
off the old talking points. You know, you can you can write
their press releases. Class Warfare, they say, you know,
what, if asking a billion to pay the same rate as a plumber, or a
teacher, makes me a warrior for the middle class, I wear that
charge as a badge of honor. Was a badge of honor.
Of Honor, a badge of honor. So he's a class warfare warrior.
And he wears that as a badge of honor, we're doomed. We are
really doing them now. And I thought that was pretty lame of
him to say,
I don't know what he's up to.
And move. on.org is taking advantage of this whole
Secretary thing. Here's their latest commercial. I'm
Warren Buffett's secretary. And I pay a higher tax rate than my
billionaire boss.
I'm Warren Buffett's secretary.
I'm Warren Buffett's secretary,
I have three kids make $40,000 a year. And I contribute a greater
percentage of my income than many billionaires and
millionaires.
Most Americans want Congress to raise taxes on the wealthy. But
the GOP refuses to do it. Why call
Congress and tell them raise taxes on millionaires and
billionaires. So all Americans pay their fair share?
This is so easy to pay their fair share. Pardon?
Yeah, but just so we understand how it works, I just want to
explain this. Because the we have a progressive tax system in
the United States and based on income. But if you have capital
gains, which by the way is the same for everybody? You know,
depending on how long you hold a certain, a certain asset, I
think it's like the lowest rate now depending on how long you
hold, it is 15%. So it is not that you pay, they actually say
it here, it's all about fair share, etc. But it is twisting
the truth. Because yeah, you pay 15% on an asset that you hold,
and if you make money off of that, which is how a lot of
people, you know, basically, you know, that's where the income is
coming from. But then to say we're gonna use that to tax
people more with higher income brackets, it's twisting the
truth, or am I reading this wrong, John?
Well, there's a lot of twisting the truth going on from every
which way, but the I questioned the notion that some secretary
has got a lower tax rate. That's
what she actually says in that commercial. She, she turns it
around, and they, she said, she actually says the truth in that
and says, Well hit let's listen to it again, because it's very
tricky. I'm
Warren Buffett's secretary, and I pay a higher tax rate than my
billionaire boss.
I'm Warren Buffett's secretary. I'm Warren Buffett. So that's
good.
That's gonna hold on, hold
on, hold on, hold on. Here comes Listen, listen closely. I have
three kids make $40,000 a year, and I contribute a greater
percentage of my income greater percentage
of my income. Well, yeah, because you don't have the same
type of income. So that's different than saying it's the
same
that's not the one that's the other woman that bothers me,
where she says she pays a higher tax rate than Warren Buffett.
This is bull crap. Yeah. How is it possible? Unless Warren
Buffett I mean, Warren Buffett might have worked his way into
getting a zero tax rate like General Electric, which is,
which is and by the way, Warren Buffett getting zero taxes, and
General Electric getting zero tax. These are both people that
are friends of Obama. So I mean,
we know that in this American Jobs Act, that there's about $14
billion going to railroad. So Warren Buffett is all too happy
to be propagating this message. He's this great because he's
gonna get $14 billion.
So she's paying a higher tax rate than Warren Buffett, if
Warren Buffett is managing to make no money, technically.
Yeah, she would be, but as bullcrap. I mean, the fact of
the matter is, is probably more going into the tax coffers from
Warren Buffett's various accounts. Sure. In one way or
another. This whole thing is very, very, very dangerous. It's
a lie. It's basically a lie
head turner was on Bloomberg. And you want to hear a dick
Turner? Yeah. Oh, Turner's a great dick.
He's the great Dick of dicks. So here he is, you know, in this
time Warner merger, he lost like $9 billion of paper value and
was left with only a billion dollars and it really hurt had
rallied a
little bit, but talk from personal experience.
Tell me about it. And I tell you what I laid out. I laid in bed
at night, thinking about which of my ranches I was going to
sell first and which of my pennies in my collection if the
situation kept going? Let me
sell my moon my
wrench in my money. I don't know which one to sell.
Yoga was really, really egregious or abhorrent
is, by the way, this is why the public at large doesn't give a
crap about over taxing these
guys. Oh, of course not. But they don't realize that
everyone's gonna get screwed. That's the problem. Rob,
there's two things that people don't realize one is they're
gonna get more screwed because it always the public always gets
more screwed. The public always takes it in the short, when the
stock market's going up and it's peaking. The public goes in and
they get wiped out. The public is the one that should say don't
do anything.
Elizabeth Warren, who got kicked out of the job that she set up,
you know, she was asked to come in and create a job for herself.
Yeah, create a job for herself. And then they brought in the guy
who wrote the book on terrorism. Remember that this is the guy
who wrote the book about Elio no booted her out bad bad economy
creates terrorists. Lone Wolf, literally, the guy wrote the
book on lone wolf terrorists go look it up and searched on any
show notes.com She's only talking to her because of
course, no one will listen to her anymore. It's been kicked
out of Washington. And she has an interesting take on why we
need to
tax the rich. In a group of people here as in a living room
at home? No,
there is nobody in this country who got rich on his own. Nobody.
You built a factory up there. Good for you. But I want to be
clear, you move your goods to market on the roads, the rest of
us paid for you hired workers, the rest of us paid to educate
you or were safe in your factory because of police forces and
fire forces that the rest of us paid for. You didn't have to
worry that marauding bands would come and seize everything at
your factory and hire someone to protect against this.
Karl Warren at work. What an idiot.
More writing Bangi means like, you mean like Mexico goons that
went into Gibson guitar Yeah,
those guys down
some wood from China that they somebody didn't like I mean
goons, like that's what she's talking about. Yeah,
it's I can't believe I can't believe I'm hearing this. This
is Atlas Shrugged.
This is well, it's more like Adolf Hitler. Oh, hold
on. by Iran, it is
here we are now in chapter 14 of the book. We're getting I'm glad
I have a pilot's license so I can find a gulf gulf.
Telling you find it all right. It is it is it was gonna be
there. Turner.
No. Steve Jobs.
Steve. He's,
he's already gone. Yeah,
there's a friendly guy. No, by the way, so Turner. Somebody I'd
noticed that we both a mutual friend of ours that have some
cocktail party with Turner is the kind of guy he is. And he's
standing in line at the bar, and some woman's in front of him
yakking her friend. So he says, Hey, are you going to get a
drink? She says no, I'm just standing here just to get the
fuck out of the way really? Yeah.
I thought I was gonna say, Well, no them blow me.
Now he just was just wanted to get to the bar.
That is great. Anyway, just to kind of unless you got some
other clips, I am reading the the President's plan for
economic growth and deficit reduction. Do you know what the
title of that plan is? living within our means and investing
in the future,
just so we can get by? Yeah, it's living like it's consistent
with living
in our means living the American dream?
Yes, just getting by and really, really
you and I are not rich by any means. But what is going on here
is really wrong. It's really is really, really, really
incredibly wrong.
So I have something that you may have not noticed that came in
over the spreadsheet. Okay, did you see the billboard in
England?
Oh, that was the $1 donation, right. I saw no, no, no,
no, no, I didn't. I'm sending it to you. Hold on a second. This
is a billboard done by the Britain Transport Police. And
it's an illogical and frightening billboard that's
apparently floating around London. Somebody sent us a
picture of it. Now let me read what the billboard says First,
it shows a big family you when you read this, you're going to
just die. A big family kind of gathering around a little baby.
And then on the text says a bomb won't go off here. Because weeks
before the criminal pirating films was caught by monitoring
his internet history. pirating films funds terrorism and
organized crime reported today if you see financial
anti-terrorist Hot hotline now I want to ask you to do an ask
Adam and asked you how does somebody pirating another words
downloading because there's the internet related downloading a
movie so now there's I'm getting the movie for free? How is that?
How is that somehow? funding terrorism? How does the where's
the money coming from? I'm stealing a movie. And that
somehow was funding terrorism. Can you explain this to me? I'm
not getting it.
I'm looking at the picture right now. A bomb won't go off here
because weeks before the criminal pirating films was
caught by monitoring his internet history. Well, crikey,
you guys are more F than we are. That's crazy. Who, who wrote
this? The I'm trying to is that who sponsored this
British Transport Police
and how to control man. Leave the island immediately. Leave if
you must leave. By the way, the big arrest of they're in the
Gitmo nation east. There apparently we had after Al Qaeda
on the Arabian Peninsula. We now have al Qaeda in Birmingham.
Yeah, it's being dubbed the most significant counterterrorism
operation in the UK so far this year. The police are certainly
treating it as a pretty big deal. The folks that they are
holding in custody, the words are great in is a pretty big
deal now are suspected of in their word suspected of in their
words, a police words, commissioning, preparing and
instigating an act of terror. Police have not yet detailed
what that plot is. But they do admit it was probably close to
happening.
Probably close to happening. These are this is fantastic.
Probably close to
half went on to say that they felt this is a quote, it was
necessary to take action to ensure public safety. Now it is
reported that the police believed
it is reported that the police believed from unnamed sources
terror plot was involved with some kind of al Qaeda inspired
terrorism militancy. There's a new report that actually said
that these folks were believed to be Islamic militants,
certainly in another quote, they were tied to international cases
rather than local cases. Although we have to underscore
here, Jenna that there are no ties to any US potential targets
as of yet.
Any mini crime, pre crime? Wow. How about going up to those guys
and saying, Hey, what are you doing in here? Don't do that.
You look like al Qaeda when you do that. It's just crazy.
So I had my son went up to Seattle. So I said you get your
boarding pass? I say yeah, I said because it's a one way
ticket because he's going up during a drive back down. And so
I said you pack you so I'm not taking any luggage. He said wait
a minute. You're going on the airport. Lane from Oakland with
a one way ticket and no luggage. You're gonna get pulled over
like, you know, bring a bag with some books in it who cares? I
mean this is like you know this is because I don't know how much
the public realizes that this is exactly what oh, one way ticket
no luggage. Something's wrong.
I was pretty fortunate. I did not go through the naked body
scanner on my way to Oakland or on the way back have it at
Burbank. They do not have naked body scanners at Burbank. They
do have them at Oakland. And I just went into the line with the
magnetometer. Yeah, it was easy. It's no problem
is about it's a crapshoot going I haven't gone through the naked
body scanner and Oakland. I've always gone through the
magnetometer. And then I, you know recently went through here
we
know. Yeah, brag about it. Let's, let's do one more let
them eat cake clip, because I think this is getting funny. So
here's the situation. Right now, the entire world is broke. And
by design, the absolutely by design this is and it's all it's
all a big. It's all fantasy. It's all it's all fiction. It's
all about numbers and who owes who and you know who at the end
of the day, all this money is owed to bankers, the same
bankers who won't allow media to report on protests at banks. So
it's all designed to create more political power. And then the
rich who, of course, don't really give a crap because you
know, the only thing you have to do is lie awake at night and
think about, you know, which Monet to sell. Ted Turner
shooter that guy's head, it's my favorite phone.
was tough that year, I had to sell the Monet
comes a shoe.
Here's Eric Schmidt from Google. And he's got he knows how to fix
it all. He's great.
What do you say to a 55 year old guy who's lost his manufacturing
job, and just doesn't know where to get back into the economy.
The issue for somebody like that is often the next job is not
going to have the same low level of salaries, the previous job,
but it's better than nothing. So from the standpoint of
employment, that's what they should be doing. If there were a
national compact, about how to get this done. If people agree
that it's more important to have new jobs than in perhaps even
low wage jobs, then no job. Remember, a permanently jobless
person in our country is a huge cost to us. They start off
looking for a job after five years, they're depressed. And
after 10 years, their medical bills are much higher. It's
better for society to have a full job program, and to take
the necessary steps to do this Germany, for example, three
years ago at the when they were having trouble, actually, it's
shocking. They actually agreed across the war to labor and wage
cuts. To make German economy, the German economy and German
manufacturers globally competitive. They now are
benefiting from that. And they have a very, very low
unemployment rate,
which by the way, is patently untrue. It is untrue. The people
with the low wages in Germany are starving. To absolutely
untrue. And this is this guy to say, Hey, shut up slave, just
take just take the nine bucks an hour your problem and pay take a
cut and pay Shut up.
Better than nothing better than nothing. By the way, when he
says that. I like to hear that again. Because I want to make
sure he says nothing. Not nothing. Did he say nothing?
says nothing.
Hold on a second. I'm right at the beginning. Yeah, I had
already dumped the clip here. I bring it in. It's not a problem.
What do
you say to a 55 year old guy who's lost his manufacturing job
and just doesn't know where to get back into the economy.
The issue for somebody like that is often the next job is not
going to have the same low level of salary as the previous job.
But it's better than nothing. If employee says
nothing, he doesn't know he says nothing. No, he says nothing.
No, he said nothing knows there's nothing. Next job
is not going to have the same low level of salary as the
previous job. But it's better than nothing.
Nothing. Well, it's it's I'm on the fence there. Nothing,
nothing. Nothing, nothing, nothing.
Now, I think you're wrong. He said nothing.
All right. Well, we'll we'll let history decide. So just one more
thing.
By the way. The reason I suggest that is because when you say
it's better than nothing, it's got it has a kind of an
offhanded ness to it as opposed to a more thoughtful better than
nothing, you know, which just seems to be more sympathetic. I
think it's actually anti sympathetic and almost snide
wrote the whole thing. The whole thing. He's anti sympathetic,
and
then he said nothing.
Anyway, guys a
dick. Yeah, he is. He's weird.
No, I think he suffers from the fact that he's so rich that he's
completely out of touch with everything. I think a lot of
these guys in Silicon Valley to get that way they don't dig
don't mingle. They're completely shut off from everything and
they get weird ideas and the fact that we listened to them
give us advice is crazy.
I have to sell my Monet I don't know what to do. My mom is my
favorite money. So I've been paying attention to some polls
recently. This is very important. This is I think we
talked about this on the last show, like the why these polls
and and why do they have multiple news organizations on
one poll? And I think it's really intended for one thing,
and that's to legitimize the poll. And the big poll, that is
a New York Times poll will have more legitimate Do you want? Why
does it have to be New York Times CBS? How does that make it
more legit?
I don't know. I don't know. But here's, here's the USA Today
Gallup poll, which of course, you know, USA Today is the I
believe, the most widely read newspaper in the United States.
And it's a very popular newspaper, because it has lots
of pretty pictures. And it's easy to find the lifestyle
section. And the sports section. It's very easy to read sports.
And so they did a poll, and it's like everyone's in favor of the
Obama plan of taxing the rich. Dad seriously. As you know, what
I did is I went and got the full results of the poll. This is so
they didn't exactly report on the results of the poll. Here it
is, as you know, President Obama has submitted a bill to
Congress, that in which he has not has not been submitted, that
includes a number of proposals designed to create jobs United
States, please tell whether you favor or oppose each of the
following of the proposals. Providing tax cuts for small
businesses in favor 85%. Let's just cut straight to the chase.
By the way, it doesn't represent the bill at all, because it
talks about providing additional funds to hire teachers, police
officers and firefighters 75%. Yeah, who wouldn't say yes to
that, giving tax breaks to companies hiring people who have
been unemployed for more than six months. 73%, of course,
provided providing additional funds. And then they go down to
the, you know, taxing the rich. Here it is, please tell me
whether you favor or oppose each of the following proposals
President Obama has made to pay for the cost of the job bill,
increasing taxes on some corporations by eliminating
certain tax deductions. 70% increasing income taxes on
individuals earning at least 200 1000s $32,000 and families
earning at least 250,066%. So the headline is, everyone loves
it. But then, but then question number 18 Based on what you
know, or have read about the bill, which would be nothing. Do
you think it would help improve the economy or not help improve
the economy? So here we go. No opinion 4% help a lot. 23% help
a little 37% not help 36% In other words, people don't think
it's gonna work.
They don't really because
it's not gonna work. No, but but that's not reported. No, no,
that's what's so amazing. But you heard it here on your no
agenda show and that is what we do for a living.
I'm gonna show my son moved by donate to no agenda. Imagine all
the people who could do that. Oh, yeah, that'd be fun.
To get a few people donating this week, including Joe cool
design in Princeton, Ontario. $111.11 Kevin Smith in Sunnyvale

read between the lines and deconstruct the news sometimes
it seems that all the news is just PR Yeah,
well there we just
kind of what we've been saying. John Vale pins Burg Pennsylvania
80. To 90 No comment. Thomas Starkweather Brooklyn, or
blondes $66. Dear John, anatomy shows provided endless hours of
entertainment and Internet of enlightenment and entertainment,
it would be a lot harder to get through the week without it, or
at least more confusing and infuriating having to settle for
some pro establishment Randy Carvin. NPR IV
drip, by the way, by the way. So many people are now tweeting
Andy Carvin and saying, Hey, Rick. Hey, Randy, how come you
reporting on the on the Texas execution but not on the Wall
Street? Protests, but they're saying Randy, which is
hilarious, Randy,
keep that up. Keep that up.
Right. That's the code. That's our code. So when we see that
and we know, we know, Randy, I don't always agree with
everything you guys say. But I also can't find a better news
analysis show out there. My job often brings me right into the
forefront of mass distraction and mean propagation recently, I
was involved in propagating the biodiversity meme. The

didn't give me the the note because it was sent to the PIO
box Do you have it there by any chance the note from
downstairs I can read it on the next show if you're alright
Garrett sent it to you if you want the note it's an anonymous
note from guide named calling yourself Garth or something. And
it's like was packaged in some way it is, you know, really
traceable, where it came from. And the guy mentions that you
know that some people on the inside are listening. And here's
a here's a coin to make up for the old coin you lost.
In his there was a CIA challenge coin as a CIA
challenge combined, right from the souvenir shop and Langley.
So by the way, that is you know, so I come home, I show it to
miss Mickey. And she says I'm getting goosebumps. And by
the way, how come I didn't get a challenge coin you didn't lose?
Why specifically for you? Yeah. Well, I got I'll tell
you why. I'll tell you why. If you wait for a second. And by
the way, Andrew grommet said that you wouldn't accept a coin
because you know, there's a listening device and
this is exactly what Miss Mickey said she so I come home and she
says, I just got goosebumps. So why is that? Well, because look
at the awesome work you guys are doing you have actual people on
the inside of these these companies who are really part of
your your army. And she's that's really you have to understand
the impact of the show on on people who can actually make a
difference when it's needed. So I'll take that and I like that
and then she said, but I don't think you should keep it on you.
It's a targeting device for the drones
or small explosive inside
who know is heavy.
All kinds of gear in there.org/n A.
And Joanne Thompson says Happy Birthday to John Thompson. He
turns 22 Tomorrow on The 23rd Happy Birthday John and John
Dvorak buzz killed Jr. Turns 22 today Happy birthday month
killed Jr. Thank you all for the work you knew from your buddies
here at the no agenda show. We love you so much.
22 What does it say that
on the 22nd I'm sorry? Yeah, yeah.
How old is he? He's older than 22 but I'm not gonna say because
I think now's the time that you want to start lying about your
age you got to start early
getting early yeah exactly all right let's grab a grab our
blades you gotta get your swiss army knife there John Douglas
girl and if we mispronounced that you want us know we'll
change that. And Joe cool design step four and extend your
fingers and Neil both of you have exceeded the giving level
of $1,000 to the best podcast in the world the no agenda show
here by entering the exclusive club of the Knights of the no
agenda roundtable I hereby name the Sir Douglas guru and Sergio
cool design night to the no agenda roundtable hookers, rent
boys and Chardonnay hot pans and moves right here for you. Thank
you and for those of you who have not received a ring yet if
you aren't either the no agenda roundtable we've had to put in a
new order because of course sizes is a problem that was I
thinking mistake we made a mistake and thinking about
the the normal sizing. Spread this spectrum of sizes
apparently doesn't match our listeners. In the future, we
should probably have more than that better accuracy when we
make the order. Step by John John John stops before we get
another batch. John.
Stand back we have a newsflash there is news. The war is over.
John The war is over. It's over. Yes, the war is over. We have a
war rejoice the war is over
with the Andromeda Council says says to us are three things.
Number one that the war with Iran gray and Draco reptilian
extraterrestrials has been won. Number two, that the earth is
now in the process of dimensional shift to a new light
field fourth dimension. And number three, that a period of
Earth changes with associated large celestial bodies is
coming.
The Andromeda war with the greys is over. Yeah, this is good news
that we bring the grapevine we've defeated them.
Yeah, the greys This is. Yeah. So I'm gonna meet a gray one of
these, like some years. It isn't a show.
So this is yes, I have. No, it was a tall blonde actually not a
great. Yeah, but but this is really good news. And I have
this is just the headlines on I'll be getting the full report
after the show. And I will be reporting on that Sunday. So war
is over. The Grace had been defeated by the Andromeda
Council. So just going back to the CIA thing for a second. I'm
very pleased what is happening. And a big part of this, of
course, is me having my own mail server. It's no longer going
through Google than having PGP encryption. I am now receiving
documents from assistance to members of parliament in Gitmo
nation East. And I've been asked not to mention which member of
parliament and obviously not who sent this to me, but this is a
good thing. Yeah. And we respect that anonymity. Oh, yeah. But
this is a this is a note about HPV vaccinations, and Gardasil.
And what this great human resource told me is Be on the
lookout for lots of PR about Gardasil. And so here is, turns
out the Department of Health is currently evaluating tenders for
the supply of a vaccine for the Human Papilloma Virus HPV
vaccination program. So just so this tells us a couple of things
that the the government of the United Kingdom's get my nation
East is going to start injecting everyone it'll be girls and
boys, we know that they're on the boys track as well. And
there are two vaccines that are being considered. One is
Cervarix that is from C who makes Cervarix and doesn't say
that maybe Merck?
How do you spell it?
S E R, V A Ri x and the other one is Gardasil. And the
committee considered whether either of the two licensed
vaccine should be recommended in preference over the other. Both
currently available vaccines protect against the HPV types
that cause and they're here they are just saying in the
documentation, the cause over 70% of all cervical cancers 70%
So it's not like a cure. And one vaccine also protects against
HPV type six and Allah And that calls around 90% of all genital
warts. HPV vaccines are subunit vaccines. And here's here's what
this is amazing information made from the major protein of the
viral coat or capsid of HPV. But it turns out that this is
synthetic, they've actually made a synthetic version of the virus
and they and they put that into the vaccine. Which sounds kind
of funky to me, here it is. This is a VlP VlPs mimic the
structure of the natural virus but do not contain any viral
DNA. Because they are virus like particles. So I read this, that
they have created a cancer virus that they say looks like
something, and they're actually injecting our children with
that. But anyway, the bottom line here is that you should be
on the lookout for a lot of pro and con PR, between Server X and
Gardasil, to see who's going to win the contract. And I want all
of our no agenda, militia and human resources to be on the
lookout for it, because you're going to see this heated up big
time to go for the big government contract of this
vaccine, which doesn't even cure everything, and probably has
injured if not killed, lots of children. And I'm very
appreciative of our human resource for sending that to me.
So I've got a clip that is kind of interesting professor at one
of the Washington DC universities was on book, TV, or
on C span to C span, of course. So he listened to too much too
much. And he dropped his little bomb. And this is a starts
talking about the opium trade. And he's referring to opium
poppies, specifically. And is it he brings up a little historical
tidbit, which I know you'll find highly amusing because it fits
in right with our holes, our schema of how the world
operates. But see if you can catch the little gem in this
little commentary, but open in Afghanistan
incubator for a certain type of crop, which we now know, is
opium. So it's kind of an interesting story than
Afghanistan had never been able to produce opium prior to 1951.
And a US a development project acidifies the soil such as to
make this a productive area for opium.
Wait a minute, they didn't even grow up.
Not until 1950 until the US AI D folks came along and said, you
know, you know, I
got an idea.
That's Clip of the Day, John, I'm giving you that one. That's
great. They did. Oh, my goodness,
this will work out. Great.
I haven't and then we'll come in and we'll protect it. Wow. That
is, that's pretty awesome.
So it's just a pH issue with the soil
with just a little more nitrogen in there. And we're all good to
go. Wow. I don't know what to say about that.
Yeah, I don't have much either. I mean, we can do a little more
research and just confirm it. But sounds good to go. I mean,
right.
Shouldn't we add to it? That's Under Secretary of State right,
who was Secretary of State in 1951?
I think it was John Foster Dulles John Foster.
Must have been some shill.
No I should have which was his name. And his brother was these
are the guys who started the CIA, by the way, coincidentally.
Let's see Secretary,
Secretary of State 1951 That's how I'm gonna do my search.
Let's see what comes up. Right. You said
1950. So we'll go with that. Dean, atrazine AGIS Hutchison.
Yes. And who was Dean Acheson? Who was that? He was a US
another. He was a government student. Who was denatured? Same
as famous Secretary of State. I'd never heard of the guy. Oh,
of course not. This was in 1950. And well, but he looks 60 plus
years ago, see what he is most
famous decision was convincing President Truman to intervene in
the Korean War. Okay.
Yeah. All right. Good guy. So he was also the responsible for the
Marshall Plan. He helped us design the Marshall Plan, which
was, you know, basically rebuilding these countries. And
he also he was preceded by George Marshall, and then
succeeded by John Foster Dulles was the CIA guy dollars, one of
the dollars, the guy who started the modern cis and so it makes
nothing but sense that because our take on things is that
Afghanistan opium from the get go, is controlled by our
government. So this gets kind of falls into place in some large
scheme of things. Drone nations, I
mean, donation time, dB. That is not another story about drones.
That's right. While everyone is looking at the muffin man, we
are building drones in Africa, foxes alert now the US expanding
its drone program and get this US defense official say, part of
an escalating campaign and what beat might be the newest front
against al Qaeda? Steve Sentani founder story now which
countries are of concern? And how long has the US been working
on this, Steve?
Well, Bill, the US a US official tells Fox News it's been more
than a year that this has been in the works. Two important
factors coming together here the the growing threat from al Qaeda
in Yemen and Somalia, and the growing effectiveness and
importance of unmanned drone aircraft. According to this US
official that we talked to the preferred location for a drone
base was Ethiopia. But that took time to arrange. In the
meantime, we began flying drone missions from a base in the
Seychelle islands. And now the newest piece in all this a base
in Saudi Arabia. The base in Ethiopia is aimed primarily at
the Somali militant group al Shabaab. But this system bases
will effectively cover the entire Horn of Africa and the
Arabian Peninsula. You know, we come? Awesome.
Let's let's get this down. You have the Seychelles, which is a
beautiful place. Yeah. And they're putting drone a drone
base there. Well, the
Seychelles, of course, was wiped out due to flooding. And I think
that now I'm thinking like, hey, let's wipe this place out with a
little bit of scalar weaponry. Let's throw some water on that.
So then we can rebuild a base there with the we're building
drones on.
And then what was the other places one was Somalia, Somalia,
and Saudi Arabia at base in Somalia?
I think that's what he said. No, I
don't think so. I think it was for to attack Somali activeness
and importance of unmanned drone aircraft. According to this US
official that we talked to the preferred location for a drone
base was Ethiopia. But that range in the meantime took time
to arrange we had to kill some people with too many damn
Ethiopians. I had to clear out the runway for the drone sign
we began flying drone missions from a base in the Seychelle
islands. And now the newest piece in all this a base in
Saudi Arabia. Saudi base in Ethiopia is aimed primarily at
the Somali militant group. Al Shabaab system of bases will
effectively cover the entire Horn of Africa. And the Arabian
Peninsula
is great. I'm so proud of us. I'm so proud. It's so great.
Well, it's
good that their state, you know, it saves a lot of money on gas.
You know, I got picked up by Tony the terrorist.
Oh, yeah. Oh, in San Francisco. Yeah. My
guy Tony, the terrorist. And then easier inside man. He's MY
inside man. And so ask them about Libya and Yemen.
Specifically,
I wish you would have asked him about Cyprus and Syria. You
know,
it's only a 30 minute cab ride so hard Syria. He said. What do
you say about Syria? Well, let me just tell you what I
remember. Libya. He and Tony, of course is a terrorist. He's He's
a Trent. He's a he drives a cab and he's a translator for
insurance companies. And he's he
I think he's in the States. I think all cab drivers are
terrorists, in some sense. And I think he's
here illegally in the FBI keeps offering him
Mossad or some for all, you know, who knows,
right? But he says, okay, good. Daffy is that this guy is an
idiot. So he says this was about two things. He says one, it was
BP and Tony's from Jordan. So he understand he understands the
region. Let's put it that way. He says it was about BP, where
most countries do a, an 80 or 9010 split with the oil company.
So 10% will go to the host country, except for Saudi
Arabia. He says they get an 8020. But Gadhafi said to BP, he
said, Look, we're going to turn it around, you give us 80. We'll
give you 20 or bringing the Chinese in. So we knew that
right. You and I had deconstructed that early on that
that was the problem with the Chinese but he says that was
something else. The reason why the French are in is because
Qaddafi had done a $40 billion weapons deal with the French.
The weapons show up it turns out it's all refurbished
the old refurbished problem
and good wn I'm not paying for that. This is new this is
refurbished crap. I don't want
refurbish.
A refurbished on the on the website. I was
pissing my pants. It was reefer pitched like, oh, wow, yeah,
that's a problem. And instead of Gaddafi saying, you know, well,
here I'll give you 20 billion for the for your refurbished
crap. Your reloads effectively. He just said, Screw it. I'm not
paying anything. So that was the that's why the British and the
French jumped into that now Yemen. So I said, you know,
what's the deal with the techno experts in the Yemen? He said,
No, I don't listen. Listen, this is real. But we don't undersell
it. Yeah, if you look at Randy carvings, tweets, right? There's
all like the martyrs and all of this and the wave of democracy
sweeping across the nation and all this bull crap. He says, You
have to understand there are hundreds of tribes in Yemen. And
there's essentially there's the two main tribes are the RET,
which are actually connected through the Rothschilds, which
of course, stands for redshield Rothschilds read. And then you
have the Hachette. And he it's very hard for anyone in the in
the West to comprehend this. But the Hachette is basically a
conglomeration of hundreds of tribes and salaam, the you know,
the guy who's currently the the president there, who, by the
way, is illiterate. According to Tony, the terrorists, the guy
absolutely cannot read. He's illiterate. He was kind of
pushed to the forefront say, okay, you'd be the president.
And these tribes go back 1000s of years. And they and this guy
has just abused his position. And that's why you see,
actually, I have the BBC that could pretty good report, but we
don't understand it. See, we don't understand how these
tribal feuds work. And what's happening is, you know, there's
there's tribes who multiple tribes make up the military. And
and there are 60 million guns in Yemen, as we've discussed,
everyone has guns. Everybody in Yemen has a gun, but like
serious hardware, like a Glock or just an AR 15. You know,
people got all kinds of stuff because they love their guns.
And so it's basically tribal warfare. They're all just
shooting each other up. As you listen to this report. You can
actually kind of understand that but has nothing to do with Arab
Spring, and whatever other bull crap and martyrs that Randy
Randy Corbyn is retweeting.
Is it your sense that the violence is escalating there?
Definitely. This is the worst we've seen since the start of
the revolution. I will not a revolution woken up today,
around 4am by heavy explosions, and they've continued until now
I still hear them. They have not stopped in addition to gunshots
machine guns. This comes after two days of very violent attacks
on protesters. For the first time RPGs and heavy artillery
were used against pro democracy activists that were unarmed pro
democracy. It's bull crap, it has nothing to do with pro
democracy.
In addition, of course, to the usual snipers, a woman
to someone with a with a scarf on her head. Yeah, with a scarf
on her head. And
what I did also is it also made worse by the fact that the army
now seems to be fighting within itself.
Yes, well, today's attack started when Republican got
shelled the military base of the first brigade, which is the
defected the military that defected in March and joined the
protesters.
Okay, so what's happening is yeah, there are people who are
protesting I mean, we got protesters we got protests on
Wall Street, yeah. And the drones but they're being they're
caught in between warring tribes. And if you don't
understand I, we I still don't understand it, but he explained
it to me as best he could. But he says, you know, just like
horses, he says, you know, in in the Middle East, your your
lineage is extremely important. And they they trace this back
hundreds if not 1000s of years to understand what part of what
tribe you belong to. And this stuff gets explosive and you let
them all kill each other it's great they got guns, but we
should not be in there pretending like it's the Arab
Spring in this wave of democracy and like we have to go and help
which I haven't seen a resolution for it by the way so
I don't know if that's gonna happen but the
sure that our our people have a clue that's except it's just a
media that's that's making this crap up.
Well the Yes. So either they are totally stupid or they're making
it up with an agenda which is just not quite been revealed
yet.
Well, the agenda of it could be just nothing more than just you
know, creating a smoke screen and nothing to see here moment
but on another one but I'm
thinking I've got to get Tony the terrorist on it. I got to
interview him on the stream. Just you know, just for you
gotta hear this guy. Explain it.
Ya know, I would like to hear if you could do an hour with him
easily. Ah,
here's how goes, Tony, what's going on in in the Middle East?
And then that's it, then your hour starts from there. Just let
him talk.
Well, I want to hear about the Syria, which, you know, as we
know, we saw this I predicted this when the New York Times did
that one peculiar story out of the blue, that the Syria thing
would be taken off the table right. pletely right. But
there's still something about Syria's relationship to Cyprus
and the Russians that we don't know and we're not getting I'm
not getting I'm looking well, would you
would you be Would you be open to doing the call with Tony the
terrorists together so that we can because you know, you have
questions? I have questions, and
I could do that. We could do a double triangulation. We could
do a trio. Yeah, I could ask him a couple of things if he's
willing to do it. I mean,
yeah, he'll do it as long as we don't identify him by his real
name. Name. Just Tony the terrorist. Yeah, Tony
the terrorists. Good. It's good name. Hi, I'm Tony the jingle
company.
And our money is Tony the terrorists. His name is Tony.
He's a terrorist. That's me something snappy
like that. Yeah.
Meanwhile, the Haqqani are getting a lot of free marketing.
I mean, notice this.
No, one back back up on this.
So we you know, the Haqqani are two we have the Al Shabaab,
we've got the outsiders. Yeah. And the Haqqanis now are getting
some free marketing. So I think something is going to happen
with with the Haqqanis. Here's a clip.
Our biggest concern right now is to put as much pressure as
possible on the Pakistanis to exercise control from their side
of the board. We've we've continued to state that this
cannot happen. We cannot have the economy's coming across the
border attacking our forces attacking Afghanistan,
Afghanistan knees, and then disappearing back into a safe
haven that is not tolerable. And we have urged them to take
steps.
Not tolerable. So you know, what is the US going to do about it?
Well, it is well known that the CIA, for example, already
operates drone attacks on the Pakistani side of the border
look for them to step up operations against the Haqqanis
why is this front and center right now yesterday, of course,
the former President of Afghanistan BARDA Hoon under a
Barney, who currently heads the peace effort to reconcile with
the Taliban was assassinated in his home by suicide bombers.
Right in one of the most secure areas of Kabul, they are looking
at the possibility the Haqqanis were involved in the Rabbani
assassination. And as we were showing pictures a minute ago,
just last week, the Haqqani said to be responsible for the
attacks against the US Embassy and ISEF headquarters that led
troops to have to be on the roof of the military headquarters
with their rifles firing back so the Haqqanis now really
considered almost public enemy number one. In Afghanistan, they
go
public enemy number one. Survey says so I think yeah, to me, it
sounds like there's a pentagon move to refocus attention away
from al Qaeda. And the taller bomb to the Conners
Ah, interesting. Now look at this. It's weird, right? That
sums up I mean,
when this stuff comes out like that, and she This is the
Pentagon correspondent she's even just basically even saying
it. He just standing there and saying it so political.
Actually, I pulled a couple of quotes because I do want to talk
about Europe for a moment because we still have a little
bit of time left.
A couple of things we got to get to before we will go ahead and
I'll look at my
European quotes and what you got
was a couple of things going on and needs to be discussed one
knew we missed out on the Emmys
I watched them
you Okay, that's enough. Discussing red carpet blather if
you want to get sick, but I think we'll put that off. We
can't ignore the fact that the two the two will play the
release from Iran clip. Oh, the hikers. Yes. The hikers. Yes,
the hikers who find found that love
to cook miles tears. A long kiss between Shane and Sarah short.
His fiancee and fellow prisoner until one year ago this week.
We are so happy we are free and so relieved. We are free two
years in prison is too long,
too long for the families as well.
Lasted 781 day. We couldn't be more proud and you
lasted 781 day 781 days, you know Ron's most notorious prison
One month on hunger strike protesting their detention. A
total of just 15 minutes in phone calls home. And just one
face to face visit in Iran $1 million in bail.
Yeah, $1 million. What is the word? Oh, well, I actually have
a clip about where the money came from.
play that. And then I want to talk about a couple of things,
especially the comment of the mom, who, by the way, this plane
took off from I guess it's the Omani plane it took off from
Iran. And that's the whole family was in Oman. And so was
everybody. All the relatives and everybody were there. I don't
know who forwarded the I mean, it's not cheap to fly there. So
they flew everybody there for this photo ops. And the mom
said, you know, who's in jail for was 780 days or whatever it
was, and she's, I couldn't be more proud. Well, what would she
be proud of that because patriotic CIA as opposed to
saying exactly. As opposed to saying, I'm so happy he's home.
I mean, obviously, I'm so happy. He's back. No, I'm so proud. He
was there for so long.
What? No, here's the Oman but we're here in Muscat, Oman is
that last year when Sarah short the third hiker when she was
released on humanitarian grounds after bail had been posted. Her
first step out of Tehran was to come to Muscat, Oman. And that
was because Omani government officials had posted that
$500,000 in bail that guaranteed her release. A lot of
speculation has been mounting that once the hikers leave Iran,
that they will come here to Muscat, Oman. And as did Sarah
short last year, a lot of speculation that their families
are here in Oman, but Omani government officials right now
just aren't commenting or confirming those reports.
And Mohammed, where do we think this bail money came from? Is it
the Omani government themselves? Is it a conduit? And why is the
Omani government involved in this?
Yeah, well, Oman is seen as a diplomatic rarity in the region,
because they have good relations with both Iran and the US and
Oman, at a time when there is so much strife in this region.
They're trying to raise their profile. They've been seen as a
very low key country on the world stage, and especially in
this region. And they see, as we've heard from analysts that
at a time when there is so much strife in the Middle East, if
they can do something to try to mediate a dispute between
geopolitical powers like Iran and the US, it'll raise their
profile. It will make them look better on the world stage and it
will decrease tension here in the region. Right? Oh, crap.
Yeah,
of course. This is CIA agents. These guys look they don't look
like hikers.
Well, we've already determined this when we saw the coincidence
between those women that were captured in North Korea, all the
University of California Berkeley and then these guys
from the University of California Berkeley, and they
don't look like hikers indeed. And what you know, there's a lot
of places to hike in the world that are a lot more interesting.
Then we'll play my second clip, and you can hear this little Oh,
there. Nobody ever said that they were spies is impossible.
What's the point? Just hikers what's the clip? It's the second
clip that says
hiking in Iran, Iraq, Kurdistan. Yeah. Okay. Sorry. I
didn't really have any benefit didn't achieve anything.
So when all is said and done Karim's, it's such a poor us
Iran relations, any different any better off worse off the
same as a result of
worse off unfortunately, I think that, you know, this has really
further tarnished Iran's international reputation.
There's a new BBC poll out, which says that Iran has now
eclipsed North Korea as the least like nation in the world.
And I saw, even on Facebook, a young Iranian was commenting,
and he said that, you know, what's sad about this is that
these two young men never got to experience kind of the richness
of Iranian culture or ancient history, the warmth of the
Iranian people, all they saw was the inside of me in prison, and
now they're leaving. And I think this really further isolates
Iran internationally.
Does anyone think they were actually spying as the Iranian
government said?
No, I don't think anyone thinks they were actually spying in the
fact that the Iranian regime never wanted to try them
publicly. They never produced the shredder shred of evidence,
I think, reveals the fact that you know, they they were doing
what they said they were doing, which was hiking in Iraqi
Kurdistan.
How did they get there? How do you get to
go through a minefield? You get through a minefield, and you get
all kinds of permissions, you probably talked to one too many
Iraqis who tipped off the Iranians probably some station
guys and the next thing you know you're after you get through the
minefield, so you can go hiking, because there's no place to hike
in the United States. For God's sake. I mean, the Rocky
Mountains the Great Smoky Mountains, there's a million
things that you places you can go and do and see it real
hiking, but you'd rather go to someplace where you don't know
the floor. You don't know the font you don't know what's going
to bite you in the ass when you're just sleeping at night.
And you go that's where you're gonna go hiking because that
makes nothing but sense. And so yeah, no, they weren't spying.
And by the way, when You look at him, if you're hiking, do you
carry long pants with you? Because they're all wearing long
pants and they're not wearing hiking shoes, you'd expect
hikers to come out of jail wearing their hiking pants and
their hiking gear and maybe have a backpack
with long pants. If I'm hiking, you wouldn't
even they would you bring long pants? If you're, if you're
hiking and
gonna get all scratched up otherwise, depends on where
you're hiking. But you're gonna go where do you go hiking naked?
I mean, what do you what are you driving at?
I don't think they look like hikers is what I'm saying.
Well, I don't think they I don't think they are hikers Don't you
know? And why would you? Why would you? This is like a
screwball thing to do to begin with. And then they have all
this, you know, here's $500,000 to get the girl out. And here's
another million to get those $500 $500,000 I had. So every
person cost $500,000. And this is just did they soften it by
just calling it bail? How's it bail? It because the woman Why
did they go grab her and she is she jumped bail. She was dying
of cancer. Now she was a baby.
I thought it was a cancer thing.
I thought she was having a baby now to get her out of there.
Whatever the case is, will do these guys get picked up from
jumping bail. I mean, no, this is just a straight up and I'll
bribe the whole thing is just bogus, a mess. And when you know
what gets me is they had a on the C span show they had one of
these guys who isn't overt who wrote the book, Syriana. And we
we played the clip and the guy. Oh, he's an CIA guy. He's worked
for the CIA still probably does. And he was he went to Iran, but
he went in the front door. You could probably do that. But they
figured, well, there's gonna be people watching. There must be
something going on in those mountains that these kids really
had to take a picture of, or they had to get some of it. I
don't know what they were up to. Who knows? We'll never find out.
But this whole thing is suspicious. That's an
interesting point. What's in the mountains? What's going on
there? Yeah, in that area. That's a good point.
But we ever seen a good map of where they were and you know,
Google satellite covering it. I mean, what's the deal? No, no.
Little incremento little little bit of fun. The what's the
what's the girl's name? The on Morning, Joe. She's Brzezinski,
his daughter? Her? Yeah. Alma.
Thank you very much for staying with us. Rob.
Will you hang around? We'll do that. Why not coming up? Simon
Hobbs is standing next to a giant pile of cash.
She's coming? Yeah. The big bale of cash. Does like her dad. I'm
coming. Back. I'm coming for the big pile of cash.
We both got the thing in the email of showing all the you
know, the federal program for slave labor through the prison
system. Yeah. So you know, we realized that you know, they're
basically looking for any excuse to lock people up because we
need the cheap labor. Right? But some of these federal crimes are
pretty dubious. We talked about this, but I didn't have the clip
before I said I was gonna get the clip Al Franken on federal
crime. If both frankenz Questions interesting within the
guy kind of gave him a shut up slave where you know, we're
thinking about it. We can't do this. You can't do that answer.
This is at a government hearing on cybercrime.
Senator Franken. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Baker, I want to
ask you a question to follow up on a question from Chairman
Leahy. In recent cases, the Department of Justice's actually
argued that the violation of websites term of service or an
employer's computer, computer use policy can constitute a
federal crime under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. In other
words, under this interpretation of the statute, people could
conceivably be guilty of a federal crime for checking their
Gmail, or their whether if their employer's computer policy
prohibits them from using their computers for personal reason.
Two federal judges have found this reading of the statute to
be unconstitutional, because people don't read those
policies. And when they do, they can be as you know, long and
complex and full of fine print. Don't you think it'd be it'd be
worthwhile to somehow address the concerns of those federal
judges in updating this statute?
So as I said earlier, Senator, thank you for that question. I
thought, as I said earlier, we happy to work with folks to
address these kinds of concerns. I think that the challenge is to
address those concerns and at the same time, not create a
significant loophole that would allow somebody for example, who
worked at the Social Security Administration, the IRS, the US
passport office, or a bank to take information in violation of
their employer's policies and misuse it for some purpose
either to spy on somebody that they that they know or to take
information and state and pass it to others to steal up to, you
know, actually steal money. So I think the this insider case
where somebody violates the rules of their employer in this
using a computer is a very challenging thing to address.
And at the same time, kind of is at the same time address the
types of concerns the use of just the difficult to use that,
you know.
So what is he What is he saying?
He's saying, screw it, we're keeping it in the way it is. And
if you do something that we want to Russia for federal crime,
because you checked your email, then that's what we're going to
do. That's what he says, love it.
That's great. Yeah, they
get tough, is it we need more prisoners, because labor costs
are going too high is almost $9 an hour, we can get a prisoner
for 10 cents. So funny. You
bring this up? Because, of course, now we know that in the
past, was the past 15 years, I think we've gone to 3 million
slaves in prison.
Numbers higher than that. Well,
and most of them African American, most of them. Yeah,
well, that makes sense. Slaves. Yes, most of them on drug
charges. And now that we are starting to integrate the United
States of North America, or the Americas, I should say, which
would be Canadia. America and Mexico. Canada has passed a bill
which puts I mean, we need to expand this. We have enough
slaves here in commercial prisons. Now we're going to do
it in Canadia. keep that
promise the government has rolled nine bills into one mega
Bill dubbed the safe streets and Communities Act. It promises new
mandatory minimum sentences for violent offenses and offenses
against children, stiffer penalties for organized drug
crime and human trafficking. No more house arrest and no more
pardons for violent crimes, adult sentences for violent
young offenders and longer maximum sentences for growing
marijuana. For example, the maximum doubles from seven years
to 14 Combined, these
measures will strengthen our justice and immigration systems
and will have a significant and positive impact on our ability
to keep our citizens safe.
But the opposition calls it a wasted money,
their ideological bent that punishment will deter crime
flies in the face of absolutely all the evidence
for us to be spending additional hundreds of millions of dollars
in sending kids to jail because they've got six marijuana plants
in their house. I mean, this is this is truly stupid. It's
great.
Experts on the prison system also objected saying crime has
been dropping for 20 years and that prisons are overcrowded.
Already. The correction
system in Canada is already in crisis. Provincial territorial
and parts of the federal system are so crowded that they may
well be violating section 12 charter protections against
cruel and unusual punishment.
The government says it will build more prison cells but its
critics say that will make Canadian safer just poor.
We're talking about many, many 10s of billions of dollars. I
don't know how much it is. I think the government has a
fiduciary obligation to you, to me, to all Canadians to disclose
exactly what that is.
The government declines to put a price on its plan instead, it
argues that letting criminals roam free costs even more. Yea,
time the Canadians get some of our medicine.
Yeah. So yeah, I find it interesting the coincidence that
crime is dropping, but prison population is increasing. So
this crowding out, well, you get
six marijuana plans, you go to jail for a crime to 14 years
dream up more crime, you know, you make more laws and make
everything a crime, make checking your email, potential
crime crimes, you could bust everybody, okay, there's 2.3
million people incarcerated at the moment, but 7.2 million
adults under correctional supervision and probation,
parole or prison. About 3.1% of adults in the US are in jail,
which is the highest per capita in the world, I might add and
the most in total, and 70% of them are non white. So right,
cow, awesome. Good. Yeah. And there's a prison labor system,
which has been developed over the last decade or two, where
they basically compete with private enterprise was making
stuff furnitures one of the big ones Yeah,
this is great. We're doing good, by the way, is probably going to
be a good place to be in prison.
Well, I think when people can't get work, yeah, they at least
didn't get a 10 cent an hour job, you know, which is again,
showing you the Republicans are right, that minimum wage is
killing private industry. All right, I gotta get rid of
minimum wage and the prison population will just evaporate.
Let me skip around. Gitmo nation. Couple of things I need
to talk about first of all, get one nation lowlands. Now, John,
I'm linking to this in the show notes 341 dot na shownotes.com
video, which it's now that I haven't lived there for a long
time, the absurdity of it all kind of hit me and I really
scoured the interwebs to find the true information and it's
not being reported, of course in the Dutch press on the third
Tuesday of every year, they, the finance minister, which in this
current administration is a former ICT guy who was brought
in initially to fix the computer system. So basically the Vivec
Qudra of the Netherlands all of a sudden, became the finance
minister, or secretary of their treasury presents in a in a
briefcase to the Queen. The budget known as the mill Yunnan
nota, which should be Milliarden nota, because it means millions
instead of billions. And they dubbed this prince he is known
as Prince day. So there's all these memes in there, and the
Queen of the Netherlands and the prince and his smokin hot
Argentinian wife, who is men a milk and a half maxima. Get in
the golden chariot, which is made a real gold, and they trot
along the streets to clippity, clop, clippity clop. And, and
then the Queen does her annual address, which of course I can't
play because it's all in Dutch. And so I go to the official
website, and they have a video. And they have the full text of
what she said. But that's not what the video shows. No, of
course, we don't want you to get smart. The video shows everyone
waving and flags and everyone Oh, and there's the Queen and
her golden chariot made of pure gold. And they're all waving by
the way. panels on this. On this chariot have slaves making
offers to the Queen depicted on it. Yeah, it's great. And then
she goes, my Hello subjects of the lowlands, we are facing dire
economic times, we will have to cut back. Since we are all
living longer, we will have to work longer. And then they cut
out the whole middle part and go straight to so we will invest in
education for the children of the lowlands. And then it's back
to clippity clop clippity clop. And they're all there the palace
waving to the slaves down below. And the absurdity of this as I
read through what's actually happening. So retirement age up.
And then they come out with a right in the in the
documentation, which of course I can read because I read Dutch.
They did a study with TNS Nippo, which sounds really official TNS
and IPO, which is owned by WPP, the advertising and marketing
firm. So essentially, they bought a survey. And it turns
out that the Dutch people according to the survey,
absolutely think it's a great idea to reduce your mortgage
deduction. Right now it's at 50%, you can deduct 50% of your
mortgage from your taxes. They think an overwhelming majority
of people think it's it would be perfectly okay to reduce that to
40 or 30%.
Hold on a second. Who in their right mind would think this is a
great idea if they're actually getting this deduction? Oh, I
have an idea. Tax me more. Does it make sense to anybody?
Of course not. It's such a PR job. But they do it so well with
a golden chariot. And everyone's like feeling good. And we love
our queen clippity clop clippity clop with a golden chariot with
the slaves depicted on the side. And you you and the next day,
I'm like, where's all the news that you know that you're gonna
get screwed with more taxes and it's you? Nothing? Pictures of
the Queen? clippity clop clippity clop?
Well, I don't see that our news is that much better.
No, but I we do have a lot of people who are listening support
the show from the Netherlands. So that's kind of important now.
Continuing with Europe. So today the markets once again are in
turmoil. I believe the the if you were to buy a Greek bond,
the current rate of return is what now 125%.
Is that Well term bond is a little risky.
But it's 125%
return I know it was 80% last time I looked I noticed that
125% So now we are in economic. You're basically
putting this as basically taking your invest money and putting it
on read. Write read,
definitely read, not black. But of course, what is now, what has
been planned for a long, long time since 1956 is to
consolidate the political power and stack actually, you'd one of
our legal listeners have pointed out that the term European
economic governance is the same as e g, which is synonymous to
brainwave scanning and brain manipulation. I thought that was
kind of interesting. He saw that eg economic European economic
governance. But here are some quotes to tell you because they
had they're just coming out and saying it. This is from
Luxembourg, Finance Minister freedom it's become, it's become
obvious that this base, that this has been the plan all
along, if you have a currency union, you certainly also need
more elements of a political and of economic union. That was
clear from the outset when we started this project some 1015
years ago. Okay. Then we have former German chancellor,
Gerhard Schroeder. The current crisis makes it relentlessly
clear, we cannot have a common currency zone without a common
fiscal, economic and social policy. We will have to give up
national sovereignty. From the European Commission, we should
make a government which would be supervised by the European
Parliament. And that means the United States of Europe. Now you
can go back in our show notes and see that we have
consistently called Europe, the United States of Europe. Now
let's the new IMF chief Christine Lagarde, the IMF, who
today just came out and said, or yesterday, the entire world is
on the brink of a final financial collapse. This is the
IMF. Yeah, she warned that developed economies have entered
into quote, a new dangerous new phase because of a vicious cycle
of weak economic growth and feeble political leadership.
Without collective bold action, there's a real risk that the
major economies slip back instead of moving further and
incidentally, did it was not mentioned. Then we have George
Soros, he's the guy who's gonna watch sorrows want even if a
catastrophe can be avoided in one thing is certain the
pressure to reduce deficits will push the Eurozone into prolonged
recession. This will have incalculable political
consequences, leaving no room for discussion, there is no
alternative but to give birth to the missing ingredient, a
European Treasury with the power to tax and therefore to borrow
from that is what the elites are saying and what is going to
happen and it's going to happen in the next month. In the next
month, this is going we're seeing unbelievable history
unfolding in front of our very eyes.
Now the sooner they do it the sooner the the it'll trigger the
cascade effect resulting in the civil war that we've been
predicting also which is going to create World War Three Who do
you think is going to fight who first though that's my allies
always gonna be the Germans and the French that's never been
resolved? This is the one issue that just always cracks me up.
The Germans and the French fought you know, during the
Napoleonic Wars and never resist never resolved they fought in
World War One it was never resolved. They fought World War
Two it was never resolved. They're still at Germany they're
still a France. Obviously these two countries cannot coexist.
Hmm, who will win drones
we're number one. Cool with our drones
I gotta give you an in the morning. That's good. Yeah,
Germany and France at war. Yeah, that's probably good. That's
probably Yeah, it's gonna happen. But will it be a
traditional war will it will be ground truth, sir question
because every war these wars of like the First World War, I
mean, the Napoleonic wars were one sort of war and then he had
the trench warfare, which was a disaster in World War One then
you had Modern Warfare, mechanized warfare in World War
Two. Now I don't know it could be anything I mean, well, who's
got the disadvantage and in a fight and what kind of a fight
would it be It can't nuke each other. No. So that's, you can
you can cyber each other. So I didn't go economic.
You know, cyber is synonymous with cyber sex. I don't think
they're going to cyber each other. I can see no one wants to
cyber Merkel. Well, let's be honest.
So they could be any we don't know. I mean, we don't have no
idea that this has entered a new unknown area. I mean, this has
always been the case with warfare historically, you know,
somebody dreams up some new new weapon or some new crazy thing
and then then they take over.
That's the bunker bunker showdown. It's going to be great
to cover though.
It's gonna be great to duck and cover.
Just a quick call back to the previous show. I did some
research since I said I would apparently you know, Rick
Santorum. Of course, if you Google Rick Santorum to come up
with the first hit is the frothy mix, as well as Santorum is Rick
Santorum apparently did contact Google about his Google problem.
Good because they should have he says,
I suspect if something was up there like about Joe Biden, they
get rid of it. If you're a responsible business, you don't
let things like that happen. But Google just said screw you.
We're not changing anything.
You know, Google does take action against Google washing. I
don't understand what the deal is here. The promise and Tom is
he's such a weenie, he should be making nothing. But uh, you
know, he's embarrassed to say, tell the public that this is
there, even though everybody knows, he should just make it
the biggest fuss. And if I was him, I would demand a
congressional hearing on this and take Google right in front
of Congress and say, look, you've you've killed these
things before in the past. Why aren't you killing this? What
are you doing? What political agenda are you promoting and
threatened Google and Google would back off and that thing
would disappear but he hasn't got the guts to do it. I want
to see that because it would be great to have someone actually
on C span in Congress say look, frothy mix.
That's it. won't do it. He's just kind of cornered himself.
He's too wimpy to take it on and on. So they get a laugh and
everybody goes, Rafi
that should be on ABC NBC CBS frothy mix should be allowed.
Alright, something you will not
play. Before you play out I got the one life of a cow you have
to play just as a little piece of education. We have no
education goals stuff are agriculturally that needs to be
on the show. And this is the life of the cow cliff to
nature. A cow produces about 10 pounds of milk per day, which is
what it takes to meet the needs of her calf. Over the years we
have tinkered with her biology, and she now produces about 100
pounds of milk per day. This high productivity is good for
business, but maybe not so good for the cow. The normal lifespan
of a cow could be up to about 20 years, but under the strain of
high milk yields she wears out in just a few years. She's been
sent to slaughter. Just like
the slaves. Yeah,
milk.
Get rid get rid of him. And because of the actions of these
persons who commit threatened to commit or support terrorism
continue to pose an unusual extraordinary threat, national
security foreign policy and economy the United States. The
national emergency declared on September 23 2001. And the
measures adopted to date to deal with that emergency must
continue in effect beyond September 23 2001. Therefore, in
accordance with section 202 D of the national emergencies act, I
am continuing for one year, the National Emergency with respect
to persons who commit threatened to commit or support terrorism.
So we continue our state of emergency for another year by
executive order 13224 declared today by Barack Obama now
13224 Well, I guess that kind of flies in the face of what the
progressive expected from this guy when they got him elected.
Hope and Change how're you doing?
And we could go on for hours. Unfortunately, no one has that
kind of patience.
I think they're already on board.
Now if you are one of the let me see, it's a Thursday so 382
People still left listening at this moment. If each and every
one of you were to go to divorce act.org/na right now and if you
felt this program is worth 10 bucks, we should essentially put
us at half minimum wage no way below with minimum wage. Please
consider supporting our show if every single one of you did that
who has been listening live for the past two and a half hours we
would be set
and I'm sure this will work out as it did on the last show and
we'll be collecting a massive 40 bucks.
As rockin
the chat room, chat room.
Alright everybody coming to you from the hilltop Watchtower
crackpot command center get my nation West People's Republic of
