When he says folks, that would be the key word for the message,
Adam curry John C. Dvorak. Sunday, October
30 2011. Time for your gizmo nation media assassination
episode 352. This is no agenda,
bracing for the euro quake here at the hilltop Watchtower
crackpot command center in the People's Republic of Southern
California. Yang in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry.
And from Northern Silicon Valley, we're over modulation is
the theme. I'm John C. Dvorak.
My over modulating on you
know, every time you know, we're chat away, and then we start to
show and then all of a sudden, I started to fall down. Well,
we've
only been doing it for 352 episodes. So by now you should
have learned. No. Okay. Well, in the morning to John C. To
restroom
everything is the same. And in the morning to you, Adam curry
all ships at sea and boots on the ground feet in the air and
balloons in the sky,
and drones over Texas. And of course, the human resources in
the chat room who have shown up for this lovely Sunday are
Halloween weekend. Of course, all of you are depreciating
rapidly. Although with inflation, I think actually we
might all be reset back to our $9.2 million value. And you can
find them in the chat room and you can join them every single
Thursday Saturday morning. pleases just for your timezone,
no agenda stream.com no agenda chat.net which is I guess, get
more nation East adjusted their time today. Which I'm sure
somehow was screwing the Occupy Wall Street people.
But screwing the Occupy Wall Street people is the is the the
weird and I guess it hasn't happened for two or three years
as snowfall and October. Yeah, you know, global warming.
Well, you can call it that diesels? I think not, or maybe
just someone said, Hey, turn on the machine. give these guys
some snow. You know, weather modification is nothing new.
That's totally possible. The Chinese made it snow during the
Olympics or they blocked the snow during the Olympics. They
made it snow somewhere else. Why wouldn't they do that?
Why wouldn't they do that?
Because they can't
not what? You can make it snow making snow is easy.
It gets snow in Africa, then?
Well, within reason you can make it snow. Okay. Although it
doesn't make any sense. In fact, I think quite the opposite. I
think what we're seeing here is the Obama administration
actually pushing back on all of the mayor's that's why the mayor
of Oakland had to come out and apologize. Because Obama or I
guess Valerie Jarrett, let's just call her President Valerie.
She said this is a really good theme, this is a really good
idea. We need to to connect with the people on the street, Barack
Barack here, do this for your weekly YouTube address. Barack
say this, say this,
a new economic report confirmed what most Americans already
believed to be true. Over the past three decades, the middle
class has lost ground, while the wealthiest few have become even
wealthier. In fact, the average income for the top 1% of
Americans has risen almost seven times faster than the income of
the average middle class family. There you go.
Taking, taking the 1% meme and using it. It's pretty pretty,
pretty great. Presidents
just gonna keep harping on this, it's going to have its effect
and you're going to end up with more taxes. But the joke is, of
course, will be more taxes for everybody.
So I've been following what the President has been doing,
because there's a lot of dissent everywhere now. And it's just
kind of fun to watch the, you know, it's kind of like flailing
arms in the river there. And this we can't wait thing is
that, you know, this is a little bit out of control for a rush.
Well, he's well, he's King Obama now. And, you know, he's he
keeps saying the same thing over and over again. Well, if
Congress can do it outgunned, I'm gonna do it. We can't wait.
We can't wait. We can't wait. We can't wait.
Somehow though. They found time this week to debate things like
whether or not we should mint coins to celebrate the Baseball
Hall of Fame.
Hey, that's my gig Obama. Stop test. Stop watching C span. I
was already to harp about that. Yet he takes that from us.
When he take difference, why would we even bring it up? Who
cares? There's always somebody arguing about what kind of coin
we should make. Well, he tied it into this.
And meanwhile, they're only scheduled to work three more
weeks between now and the end of the year. The truth is, we can
no longer wait.
We can no longer wait. We just can't wait.
He had you looked at that job as bills. 165 pages of everything
except this is typical. It's called the jobs bill. I don't
see the jobs part of it. Well, no, there's only two FCC
regulations. New slum housing rules high speed rail is that
people should go get this thing and read didn't touch on me.
Were there jobs creation,
or just go back to?
Was it two jobs built bullcrap maybe three,
four families six episodes ago, we dissected the entire thing.
And then you're right. It's filled with the Benny's for the
banks to to buy foreclosed homes really cheap and rent them out.
It's filled with high speed rail crap. The only thing that's a
jobs which is and to his credit, he saying, you know, pass this
bill and then we'll get people back to work. Yeah, government
people, because essentially it's like, Let's pay the teachers,
let's pay the firefighters. But that's government money. So it's
not really creating anything, anything other than, you know,
like Obama jobs.
And by the way, even though I haven't mailed it, find it in
there. I know, there's gotta be, there's a huge problem going on.
And nobody wants to talk about these banks have foreclosed and
own all these houses, right? They're not paying taxes,
where's the property taxes being paid on these houses, the banks
are paying IOUs, to say, Oh, we shouldn't have to pay the
property taxes. There's a huge property tax liability that the
bank's own, and they're going to try to slip into the buyers or
whoever they dumped these properties on. But the fact of
the matter is, they're in arrears on many of these
properties, and I think people should start going down to City
Hall or, or the county offices or wherever it is and find these
and insist that there be tax sales, like they do with any
other property. If I own backed owed back taxes on my property,
after about two or three years, they get sick of it, and they
put the property up for auction. This is already getting to the
point where these properties should be auctioned for pennies
on the dollar. If these banks won't pay their taxes.
I didn't realize that. Do they know they have to or they're
just not doing it?
They're not doing it? Of course they have to you have property
taxes, property tax, you own property, you have to pay taxes
on it, huh?
Well, that's not right.
Oh, of course, that's another scam. That's gonna
wait a minute, are getting screwed. That's not right. You
want to hear and I see these banks are loaning money, again,
jack up the property tax rates and make them pay or put the
properties on the auction block. that'll that'll loosen up some
purse strings. But nobody's doing now. Are they? No.
John sounds a little angry about all this.
That's ridiculous. Why do I have to pay property taxes? The bank
takes over a house down the street. Why aren't they paying
property taxes? Oh, we'll pay later.
Because they're, I don't know. Because they their donors. Your
Boehner, their donors. They donate to the President and they
get to do what they want to do. Remember that? Douchebag Russell
Simmons? Yeah. And he was one of the first people to come out and
and say and sit with the, with the Occupy Wall Street people.
And he's like talking all the tax League.
He came out. Yeah.
Do you know that he is actually, a bankster.
Wouldn't surprise me but no, he has
something called the rush card, which is one of these
completely, it's almost like the Kardashian card which never made
it to market. He has one of these debit cards prepaid debit
cards. Which, let's see you pay 995 A month has a one time
activation fee of 395. It could be up to 1495 deposit depending
on which kind of card you choose a $2.50 ATM withdrawal fee after
that, after you use your to count on to free withdrawal
period withdrawals per month. And then it has all kinds of
penalties if you you know if you because of course you can't
really overdraft a debit card. But if you do it, so if you know
if you got like 20 bucks in your account and you try to charge 30
Then you get a $25 penalty fee. This guy is just one of the
douchebags in Fortune magazine a while ago, actually confronted
it before all of this started before he sat down and was
chanting in Occupy Wall Street. They confronted him about it.
You were talking about your financial services comm. Yeah,
and the prepaid debit card. Tell me a little bit
What's another word for financial services company in
that like bank?
Yes. How you react to some of the criticism that the card has
received over fees? Well,
firstly, I've educated the uneducated people who criticize
the car just and they're wrong. They're wrong regarding sounds
like
Mike Tyson. It's fees Yeah,
he has a Mike Tyson sound total I would say JP Morgan's report.
Oh, because we all read JP Morgan's report says that
to run my account, a unit rush account
and then a rush unit rush
cost about $200 a year Oh really? And to run a free bank
account.
It cost about 400 How does that how does a free bank account
cost you $400
Thanks I was idea JP Morgan Report
this card only cost $200 $200 A year with the unit rush a year
and so that's you know there's a MISC it's easy for you to want
to dump on us but in migrating from the banks to our business
oh yeah it's it's very inexpensive it builds credit you
can transfer your money card to card you don't have by
the way it doesn't build credit a prepaid debit card does not
build credit that is an out an outright lie to
go to Western Union and spend a fortune watch up to get online
and check cashing place it first again it was at first it was for
underserved communities. I mean, people who absolutely
then we saw the business and we said hey, let's screw the under
the undeserved people. Let's go make some money saved a fortune
by having a Wescott. But as technology evolved in the prices
went down, then we find ourselves way cheaper than the
bank. Ah, we don't have a brick and mortar analogy.
We got technology. We got technology. So the guy's just a
shill. He's a douchebag shill, and he should be called out. I
bet she's not gonna go down Occupy Wall Street anymore.
I would suggest that 90% of the audience doesn't even know who
he is.
Russell Simmons, of course our audience knows who he is. Oh,
please. Oh, please. rustling
in the music business all the time. And you think everyone
knows who Russell Simmons is? Come
on, everyone. GX two in the chat rooms like who is this guy? All
right, Russell Simmons with a huge impresario he's like, huge
in the music business. All right. My daughter knows who he
is.
He's also a tastemaker. He's basically the one who's promoted
the you know, showing your underwear low riding pants.
Yeah, that baseball cap that's on sideways. All that stuff's
from him. I mean,
I mean, people have heard of Def Jam, haven't they? I mean,
people know. They've heard of Def Jam. So so he's Russell
Simmons, the guy who started
nobody pays attention to that part of speaking
of which, the new book I want my MTV the unedited history of
music television came out or it's coming out tomorrow, I
think. And I got a copy. And I was interviewed for the book.
And the no agenda podcast is mentioned in in the book. Good.
Yeah. So we should see a big like a whopping like $50
donation coming from that.
If that is fun read though. It's pretty good. What's the best
dirt in there?
Well, it's all good dirt the way they did it is I haven't really
ever seen this. They essentially they interviewed a lot of people
I know they interviewed me for like five hours and recorded it
all on tape. And they transcribed it and they just put
all these quotes one after another for 600 pages about
different topics and it's pretty interesting. The long read but
it's uh, they had my quotes right? So I presume that
everyone else's quotes right. And as it turns out, what I
suspected I now know for sure that I was fired from
headbangers ball thanks to Axl Rose and Doug Herzog. Axl Rose
got me fired. Why? Because his, his heroin Buddy was Ricky
Rachman. And, of course, Ricky Raglan has no talent. And then
actually, they were watching me on headbangers ball and actually
says, Hey, man, would you want to be Vijay? And I said, Oh,
don't worry, I'll make a call. Of course, you know, Axl Rose
calls MTV, they'll blow him. And, like 24 hours later, I was
off the show
totally deplorable. The I fought to get Guns and Roses played on
the channel. No one wanted to play it. And that's my thanks.
So you wait a minute. Yeah, it's true. You got them to play Guns
and Roses made them so successful, at least on the
channel that they could call up and have you fired? Yes. Well,
there's nothing that's pretty ironic. Well,
there's a difference between Guns and Roses and Axl Rose. I
mean, Axl Rose is a he's a maniac. I don't think the guys
in the band actually like him. But yeah, now it's true. Guns.
MTB would not touch Guns and Roses. They're like yeah, we
can't play this. He's in it. He's got a video where he's
getting electrocuted in the electric chair. And I'm like,
Yeah, play and then we then they started playing him and then got
me fired. Serves you right and look at where I am now.
You're doing a big for money podcast. That's getting I got no
traction this week.
No. Oh my goodness. What happened? We fell into a hole
did our show suck so bad last
week? A must have because we have one we see my mouse to get
to that point and mention our one lone executive producer.
Holy moly. There's not even an American. We don't have any we
have oh huge American audience and not one person in the United
States or Canada for that matter, or the UK where they
speak some English. Some version of it to help us but we do have
Dick mojo of June dollop of Western Australia who came in
with $233.11 I must have read his note. Yeah, please do. Give
me the executive producer for today's show. Everyone else gets
nothing. Greetings once more from the land DeVos I suspect
John had trouble reading my previous note due to my
considerable lack of punctuation the sore point of many of my
teachers in the past, so I find myself donating once more sooner
than I thought as the mean propagated meat does the meme
propagating it bothers me me for people who don't know how to
spell propagating through the internet about my adultery is
growing. And I'm concerned that secret servers will be soon
behind me.
Oh, wait a minute. This is the guy well, he had he wrote he
wrote a weird note and I said well, so he's an adulterer and
and now he's trying to, I guess re carmelize himself to get off
of that. That is that is bad mojo. I apologize
that I please have a de Deus to clean my philandering and
he wants some karma as well. Right so we do a double double
double shot here.
deuced you've got
the guy blew out of your gums allows me to limit your reach
more transparent lifestyle. Just explain my adultery is my wife
that became suspicious first. As every three to four nights
someone sends me a message on my iPhone usually at midnight
Australian time allowed in the morning greeting Adams bat
signal. It was easily explained to her and I thought for a good
good it was good for a laugh but turned to a full blown adultery
by
I'm so sorry. Oh, well. He wasn't unclear. I didn't
understand what was going on. Well, he's
a little more clear this time. In other words, well, you know
what, Bob's happily married.
You should be happy because because of my my horrible faux
pas. At least we got some money. Yeah. Which is part of our
models. Part of our model for Halloween,
that we
insult our listeners so they donate again.
I want it maybe it
is let's see. Let me get a list of all the other developers
Yeah, the show.
Just call them out. Are you an adulterer, man? Bastards. Donate
to use that word. Well, only adulterers would know why it is
an adulterer.
Clinton would be one.
Yes. Oh yeah. Oh, yeah. Well, Hillary is an adulterous as
well. I mean, we don't know it for a fact. But we can kind of
get
what everyone says. It'd be wrong. Well, she said she could
be chaste
Well, we do appreciate your support once again Dirk thank
you so much and of course you will receive the title of
executive producer for those who don't know and executive
producer title on the no agenda show is just as valid as one on
the Hawaii Five o or Special Victims Unit CSI. I mean, it's
all the same because what you do is you get to support the the
episode and you get a credit for that the only difference between
us and Hollywood is unlike the phonies in Hollywood will vouch
for that credit if you call us about it, and also unlike
Hollywood you don't get to bang any chicks that we don't have
any because that's kind of well it's true, isn't it? I mean when
you're an executive producer in Hollywood you get the you know
the you get to help cast and all that stuff you get to do all the
kids a
lot of these guys are just money guys. I mean they don't do any
they don't get that opportunity. I think there's a lot more who
look at you might be able to do here and they bring in the
starlets and you know I don't think there every executive
producer that works on Law and Order there's like dozens and
dozens of verbs screw in the hot the hell
I have spoken like a man who has not lived in Hollywood dude
after 18 years
now. But it just doesn't make sense to me that much action it
would be I think it'd be more photo who have no idea.
Everyone's got these phones now. You think you'd have a shot? You
have no idea with some some girl?
Yeah, it's out there. It's out there speaking
to the bank. Let me get to the bank fest. Yeah, it's a bang
Fest and Hollywood and you're moving to Austin tech Hill.
Yeah, yeah. I can't get nothing here. I gotta get me some Texas
girls and boys. being bi curious. You know, I read an
interesting theory about Hawaii Five O, which, of course is a
horrific show. I mean, it's horrible. You are all over it in
the beginning. And yet and it's still
on. And it's astonishing. Well,
the theory was that because all of Hawaii all of the elites
there and government parties. This is now this is just not
it's not not my theory, but I read it and I really liked it.
Because they have all participated in the cover up of
Barack Obama's birth, His non birth in Hawaii. Because this
was this was paid back by not only putting Hawaii Five o on
the air and making them look so awesome. But by keeping it on
the air where it has doesn't deserve to be on the air at all.
All, and I thought it was a pretty good theory. Like I liked
it couldn't be. Right. Yeah, we have a couple of PR initiatives,
people always frankly,
I want to mention the people that did to help we need some
more help to this week. And I would appreciate the people
especially with the truckers, driving 24/7. And listen to our
show all the time. dvorak.org/in A, please go and continue. The
guard bring up the numbers a little bit cheese.
Also, something we didn't mention, and I'm hoping that
people are just saving up Friday, in a week is 11 1111.
Tomorrow, and Tuesday is 11 111, which is 1111. Right?
So we have a number of 11 1111 campaigns via our ad to where I
could org slash a where you can help support the show. What we
have noticed in the past as these, the numerology is
interesting, people like it. And there is a belief that Karma
comes to you from surrounding yourself with these numbers. And
I'm not saying that that's not a selling point. In fact, it's
quite a weak one. But we'd appreciate it if you consider
that to help us out. I mean, program your mind for a second
divorce.org/and A
certainly those of your kids who are listening because I know
they're singing it all day.
Also, there's some evidence the I don't want to bring this up
again. And again, it is the last time I bring it up. But this
this is error in judgment we made by giving the USC football
team karma so they can beat Notre Dame that karma continued
to last and they were beating though. It continued to last.
No. And they were almost there at the point of beating Stanford
and then the karma ran out. It looks like it lasts about a
week. Oh, really got it. And about and about in about three
hours because they were winning the game and all of a sudden the
tide turned into karma disappeared. And they fumbled
their way to a loss. And I'm thinking well, that's
interesting. So if you're going to the karma has a short term
duration. Okay, so
a week and three hours. That's about the like that. Yeah. Oh,
good. That's good. That's good intel, John, thanks. The PR
initiatives today are in some cases, domain names that are
forwarding to no agenda. show.com We have new American
spring.com forwarding to the show. Another drone domain
stones drones.com. Here's why America the enslaved.com These
aren't really all that easy to remember. But it's the whole
idea is you have a domain name. And when you're talking to
someone you want to remind them that like you say no agenda
show.com most people forget that. But if you say something
like you got karma.com which is now also for three you suck, or
one more, here's one for you, John hor presstitute.com At
least I think that's registered because of your outbursts
course say, Oh, I called somebody a hole. So whore
Preston was in the subprime who are who are
who were, hey, we have some really cool though. And I want
to thank our producer, Alex, who went through a lot of trouble to
create a no agenda, Roku channel. And he didn't just
create because you can create a channel that you know that you
can point people to a website and there was a code and all
that. But now we're actually in the in the Channel Store under
news and special interests. And it's, it's actually quite cool.
And the minute you and I started tweeting about it, I think it
got like 40 immediately now is up to 100 installs. So so it has
all the back catalogue, all of the all of the episodes with the
art, and also the live stream. So you can just flip on the live
stream on your television with on your Roku, which is great. I
think it's beautiful. And I think it's a I guess it's a free
channel. So Oh, yeah. Well, so that's very cool. Thank you very
much, Alex. And then I just wanted to mention yesterday, I
sent out a bad signal to all no agenda sis admins, but
specifically, open source developers. I'd like to get a
Linux port of the current system that I'm using for for our all
of our infrastructure. And I wrote a blog post about it to go
to curry.com and read about that and help out if you can, that'd
be great. I think we could probably, we have so many
awesome people. We could probably get this done in a
week. So that'd be cool. And everyone else. If you're just
sitting around polling your pod, there's something you can do.
You could for instance, go out and propagate our formula.
Our formula is this. We go out we hit people in the mouth
world order we are all a member
saying now. Shut up.
All right. So that was disappointing. Yeah.
I but I have for our donation segment, I got a great clip,
which will help remind people why they need to support our
show. So remind me to remind them.
I'll remind you, we'll hold on and write down. Remind Adam.
Yes, we're stumped for some.
Hey,
you got to remember remind me to look in the book to find that
reminder.
Okay, I'll try. Also, you might want to take into consideration
that there's new legislation that is coming down the
pipeline, and it's not really being widely reported on
although there is some major propaganda going on to to to
program people into thinking that's a great idea to limit the
internet. This, of course, is the Protect IP Act and what is
the other one the E, E, the E screw, and all these things give
themselves
away by the name? Yeah, in other words, you're not protecting
anything now.
But the whole idea is, if the government doesn't like what
you're doing, for instance, if I sing a song and by the way,
John, you always wonder why on the pre stream, I sing along to
the Ride of the Valkyries nesting Cinco Demayo, that is so
that we can't get pulled off the internet by by because, you
know, these days if you if you actually sing a song and upload
it to YouTube, you can Melkor
a song is in public domain, you can do whatever you want with
it.
Probably that version, of course is copyrighted. No performance
copyright performance. Sure. So I guess the idea is if you don't
if the government doesn't like what you do, and they can say,
well, you know, hey, they're playing Valkyries is taking them
off the air take them off. These guys are annoying,
but the way they'll do it is they'll control DNS, they'll
control routing, actual routing, and, and they can force all ISPs
to block you. Which just this is getting a little bit out of
control. And they have they have now Oh, poor beep. They have co
opted the beep to help propagate this meme. But in the back in
Oh, yeah. In a backwards way, which is really, really, really
disgusting. Listen to these presstitutes This is on Fox. And
by the way, there's so there's three of the hot chicks they
have. I guess they everyone has a view show now. So then Oh,
yeah. So they've got and then they have like two called the
Five is one of the two girls that are on the five they rotate
through a bunch of them. Right. And they try to get Guilfoyle
who's the Who's the one of the rare brunettes on Fox. Yeah, who
has some of the best legs. Oh, man. They put her on the end.
Yeah, so you can see the legs facing sideways with her legs
lit up, they gotta, they gotta hide. They got a special light
beamed on those legs. And then she's using slides and water.
Yeah, her legs are lit, her legs are lit up. And that's the show.
So thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen, back again
tomorrow.
So you have to be very careful because the way this works is
you're looking at the legs which are lit up. And while you're
looking at the legs, of course you know you're thinking
that's one mother I'd like to
and your mind of course is wide open and that's when the
information is put in. So they miss us the beep and it's very
clever the way they've done this listen to this misuse of the
beep first well just listen and they we can discuss promise
Teen sensation Justin Bieber lashing out at Minnesota Senator
Amy Klobuchar, he says that she should be.
Now this is the woman who's introduced this legislation
locked up
and put away in cuffs for her bill to toughen copyright
infringement law. Now
we know the Bieber said no such thing. Yeah, Justin Bieber, a
great kid and everything but you know that this kid is not Yeah,
he didn't say that. And that's why they don't have videotape of
him saying
hi. It's not political. I
think he should be. What's your name should be locked up and
thrown in jail.
He didn't say that at all. They're misusing it.
He didn't know that. Yeah, and
we know that. So listen, how they misuse this. So now it's
over. I'm looking at her leg like I don't like Bieber.
Passed. The law could punish anyone who sings a popular song
and then uploads it to YouTube. So we will begin with Kimberly
Guilfoyle who I understand is a big Bieber fans president
by heart bieber.com I'll be thrown in jail when I lip sync
in my room you know to Justin Bieber no but that's
what's your first name make it sound like it's ridiculous but
then saying
this is ridiculous. They're taking it too far. That's what
creative musicians young people starting out like Justin Bieber,
were singing songs uploaded on YouTube he was discovered by
Usher Wow, did you know a lot of
this is really well written John really well done. So the first
thing is saying this is ridiculous. This is how Young
people you know learn how you build on on prior art and this
is it which of course is true. Now let's look at the letter
you always and why you're listening to Guilfoyle. By the
way you always have to remember you're listening to a very slick
District Attorney hot hot
now, so you're
able to try and get discovered that way. So he's saying it's
preposterous. The the extent to which she's trying to toughen
these law. I think
beaver i don't think his brain is yet formed.
Ah, no, discredit the little boy,
you are going to get hate mail on Twitter. any common
sense? And
he actually looked at what this bill is. It's protecting the
artists. Oh, it's protecting
the artist. Have you had any sense his brain was fully grown?
He would you would know because you think in this, look with the
legs, you're done
so much counterfeit, and in violation of their property?
Getting gypped by
illegal downloads, people are stealing designs, and he's not
getting paid for it.
If he were smart. He'd support a lot of these anti piracy.
Absolutely. I
agree with Andrea. And also I have Where is Justin Bieber's
mother, if anybody should be taken away in handcuffs? I mean,
how?
Oh my God, in the span of a minute and a half. We go from
bad to worse.
We go from you know, and so all of a sudden, it's like, you
know, of course no, not of course, you get the legs? No,
you're so wrong. Your brain is out of contract. You need
Ritalin boy, and then her mom should be thrown in his mom
should be thrown in jail. I mean, wow. Wow. That is that is
a fine piece of propaganda if I ever heard which, of course.
I gotta give you points for that one that was very good. That did
a great job of turning this thing just into a propaganda
piece for the big for the big corporations, News Corp being
one of them and owns Fox, that first you know, protecting
copyright that by the way, we should mention to people out
there and I am if anybody is a cop as a content creator, I'm
one of them. And we are our show is one of them. And the fact of
the matter is, we've made the show,
easy doesn't. The fact of the matter.
You know, I call myself on the Leo show saying that, but I
caught him. Yeah, sorry. I was. But anyway, the point is, is
that we do a lot of we create a lot of copyrighted written
material. But when you write working for a lot of these
companies, these big publishers, they make you sign your
copyright away immediately doesn't protect the artists, the
artists even get work 90% of the time, and I'm talking about a
lot of writers and in most of these magazines, I've never done
this by the way. They have to sign away the rights to their
own material. This is one of those situations where we're
John Fogarty had had to pay royalties on his own songs, due
to the fact that the fantasy records had his copyrights under
lock and key. And this doesn't protect any art, where's the
artists being protected here, when people bring up this all
the artists are being protected? I've yet to see that.
It's interesting in this I want my MTV book. The one thing that
was even astonishing, even to me, is the amount of brokenness
of the superstars of the day. You know, the Duran Duran is
broke. Bro, it surprised
me that any of these guys are broke. There's only a few smart
money performers out there that have locked down their rights
and managed to do well I thought,
but I always really thought that Duran Duran had it together. You
know, this Simon the bond seemed like he and you know, he had
his, like, they all had it together. And you know, it was
like John Taylor is living in like, a one bedroom in Santa
Monica. These guys broke and they you think they made any
money for somebody? Wow. Oh, yeah.
But all these these guys were sincere about all this copyright
bull crap. They would they would pass legislation, saying that an
artist has to own his own copyright for the rest of his
life. I think it'll be legit. So you can't you can't sign off
your copy. You can't give them away. You can't sell them. Right
you own them. And of course, then they I can see where it
where it's a restraint a trade because someone has a bunch of
copyrighted material they want to sell because they're already
going to make money.
Well, wait a minute. Wait a minute. We we let everyone do
whatever they want with our stuff.
Yeah. Well, and you can see, I will say 1/3 as much money as
anyone doing a similar show that uses advertising. So we're
actually the system discourages what we do. We are discouraged
from this donation model. Just by the numbers. I mean, I can
assure you that we'd be making three times as much money if we
had advertisers and did it did the old fashioned thing and
board people stick with a bunch of bogus ads right in the middle
of the show? Well,
I have more money.
So it's up to the US the listeners to deal with this. So
anyway, you know, this is this was terrible. I shameful and Fox
is one of the worst networks for pulling this crap for Guilfoyle
when she was on O'Reilly once, and she's sitting there, and
he's asking about the this was in the early days of the total
nude body scanners. And she, oh, I don't see what the problem is.
I don't mind. If they have pictures of me now. Me neither.
That's how
it worked. Yeah, that's you.
So I Do I Do I get a clip of the day for that one.
If you're not sure beat it. Yeah, I'll give you a clip for
the day. Clinical day. So,
by the way, that's a violation. That's a violation in copyright
to is it? Yeah, it's king of the road. Okay, click for the day.
So we could be off the air any minute now. It's coming because
you know, Justin Bieber tried to protect me, but Oh, no, the
beats brain is broken. He's an idiot. And his mom's
and then his mom shouldn't be in jail.
The be it is mom should be in jail and he shouldn't be
scolded. I wonder if there's some Freud banked by Guilfoyle.
There's a title. I wonder if, if there's some subliminal message
to her saying his brain isn't fully grown yet. Is that a
metaphor for penis? Do you think? Is there something in
there?
I wasn't thinking along those lines, but I figured you would
be. I don't know. Maybe he might. There might be a subtlety
in there. All right. You know, they at some point, you know,
the funny thing was about a Guilfoyle and her wanting to be
have her picture naked. There was a lot of really this last
week, there was a great congressional hearing with
Nepal. Altano. Janet.
Oh, I know. It was beautiful. It was beautiful. Yeah, I saw I'm
so happy you clip that because I was in a different I was on C
span. I was on C span three,
the one clip I didn't take, which I will bring up and I'm
really disappointed that the Congressman didn't jump on this
because they were going out. They were really concentrating
on the Fast and Furious scan. Yeah, that's where I was I got I
got Fast and Furious clips. They're not they're not really
making much traction, but at least they're trying. But there
was a moment where some guy came in and berated her for their
racial profiling of Sikhs, which are Indian religion that wears
these big turbans? Yeah, the turbans, and the reason that
you're inside the turban is their hair, and their weapons of
mass destruction. But as the hairs never cut, and it's really
long, and so they have to take the turban off, which is a pain
in the ass, and they have, you know, hairs down to the
organelles. I bet it smells probably could be other. Yeah.
Whatever the case. And they said when she went into this excuse
making Oh, well, we had to why we had to take the Sikhs and put
take them aside and then take them to special rooms and all
this other stuff. Why didn't somebody say wait a minute,
you've got those. Those great body scanners? Yeah, they're
supposed to find weapons and guns and whatever because that
she was concerned about the turbine. Why don't doesn't work
on a turbine?
Ah, I don't know it's made just want to humiliate the see that
thing doesn't work at all was brought out in one of the other
congressional hearings. So nobody, because everyone knows
that the thing is a fraud.
That was mica by the way, I think and I don't have there's
no clip of it. But he has its it appears that he's gonna get that
memo, the one that he wasn't allowed to talk about that shows
that they you know, there's like such a huge failure rate of the
naked body scanners and they and they're trying to keep that
quiet, because that was what you pulled out of that testimony.
Apparently, he's getting that report public somehow. I'll
believe it when I see it, but he's working on it. So which
clip Do you want to play? Our leucaena? Paula Tano, the big
sister of Homeland Security.
Well, I have a long long clip from Javits who is that? I
think, a very entertaining congressman. But I want to say
that for the entire show for a while. That is a long clip.
Yeah. That is too long. Yeah. Yeah. But it's very
entertaining. Now, there's a couple of there's a lot of new
information that came out during these these hearings. And let's
go let me go over one of the situations that occur with this
Texas, Congressman Gohmert, who is the guy who came before
Congress, and here's the guy who remember some maybe a year or so
ago, who called it a crap and trade bill. Guy. Yeah, I
remember that. Yeah. Well, he's a character. So he came up and
and I started talking about the the idea that there's some guy
on the Homeland Security Advisory Council, who's a member
of the Muslim Brotherhood, huge fan of the Iranians, Ayatollah
Khomeini. Yeah. And then he tapped into it because he gave
it because everyone on this committee gets a secret
clearance. So he goes into this state and local intelligence
community database and starts pulling shit out and bringing
them to the media saying look at this, this is this Rick Perry
guy is like Ibiza is Lammott it's Lambo phobic, and so Gomers
trying to get the politician to say something about it. He
brings this up, and then they go through a bunch of testimony.
And then somebody late into testimony asks her about is she
going to do what Gohmert asked her to do, which is to get some
information from Annie. And she says, I don't know. I don't
remember what he said. Like he didn't give a crap. And so one
of the guys has to turn over his questioning back to Gohmert to
re ask her, and this is the I think this will be the right
click. Let me see. I think it's Gohmert jumps in the polytunnel
to I believe, let's see if that is the gentlelady has expired,
Mr. King. Mr. Chairman, I'd like to yield to the gentleman from
Texas, Mr. Gohmert. Thank you, Mister.
Thank you as my homeboy from Texas
Secretary. Since you seemed a little fuzzy about LM Bre, let
me make sure you leave here understanding
what is this? LRB? What
do you say l Bre. Is this guy? Oh, ldra. Okay. It was
apparently a Muslim Brotherhood guy who's on the Homeland
Security Advisory Committee. And she doesn't remember anything.
Gohmert system. Now he's saying you look but
let me let me let me remind you, Lucy. Yeah, remember when you
pulled the football.
He was a featured speaker at the tribute to the great Islamic
visionary Ayatollah Khomeini December 11 2004. had him on
your countering violent extremism working group. You
promoted him and from your own website website during the pilot
Tonto swears in Homeland Security Advisory Council
members, you swore him in. And according to your testimony here
today, that's where he got the security clearance. He has
written glowingly of cut FBI, on whom Osama bin Laden relied
heavily for his barbarism justification he has written
against the trial and conviction of the Holy Land Foundation's
funding of terrorism. He doesn't
sound like a good guy John to have on our advisory committee
doesn't even sound like it doesn't seem so
he has still remained in this Homeland Security Advisory
Council. And now he has access to a week ago the state and
local intelligence community database, he took documents that
said for official use only a shop them with national media.
It appears not only is our security being compromised, a
squirrel system, but he's using it to help his friend
politically the president. I've got one question. And it's not a
gotcha question. There's nothing confusing about it before you
came in here today. Were you given information about El Bre?
Using the state and local intelligence committee, the
community database and taking information he downloaded and
chopping it to the media? know if anyone from Homeland Security
your staff advised anyone else? That you were briefed last night
they would be wrong? Is that correct? You Yes, thank you.
Thank you.
Okay, know where he is. He has somebody must have told him. Oh,
yeah, he knows he knows that last question. She was looking
up trying parsing his question. So she could go into denial, and
have a reason to be in denial. I think somebody obviously did
briefer, and then they told him because she either said, Do you
wanna get out of here?
This is very interesting, John, something is going on. Because
Hillary Clinton Lucifer was also hijacked in a very similar
manner. Did you see that? No, can I interject your your
apology? Okay, so this not so Hillary is she's in front of
Congress for an unrelated matter, then we have Congressman
Mac Republican, of course, and he traps her in such an awesome
awesome way. And she had she is pissed off about it. And by the
way, she's sitting there she's looking ragged. She didn't want
to be there. And as it's, well listen to how he starts it off,
he has a really easy question. She answers with the party line
and then he traps on
I'm gonna switch gears a little bit as well as you know, I
surprise serve as the chair of the Western Hemisphere
subcommittee and so there's a lot lot to talk about. But I
wanted to, to talk a little bit about Fast and Furious, and you
can see
you're not going like, what? How come nobody briefed me on this?
And specifically, at what point did the State Department learn
of Operation Fast and Furious
now? Now, of course, she has the stock answer for this, which is
the same as the Attorney General.
Congressman, I don't know the exact time i i can tell you that
based on our information from the, from the part of the State
Department that would deal with this kind of issue, we have no
record of any requests for coordination, no record of any
kind of notice or heads up.
Heads up. It's an official term a heads up,
and it's up. You know, I My recollection is that I learned
about it from the press. That's my recollect Oh, okay.
Just like, Oh, I just I was reading the newspaper, I don't
have any intelligence in the State Department. I just read in
the paper. So this is where she slips he comes in with the
setup. It's a beauty.
So I think then I know the answer to this question, but
I'll ask it anyways, did the State Department issue the
Justice Department a license or a written waiver in order to
allow for the transfer of 1000s of weapons across the US Mexico?
Border,
so beautiful tactic, he gets her on the defensive like he's
attacking her? He asked her a question. This is great, by the
way, ask a question, which she is now she's in a mindset of I'm
being attacked. So I have to say, No, I know nothing about
this. I don't know anything about this.
Congressman. You know, this is the first time I've been asked
this. And I can tell you that based on the record of any
activity by the bureau that would have been responsible, we
see no evidence, but let me do a thorough request to make sure
that what I'm telling you reflects everything we know.
By the way, let me remind you Hillary Rodham loose for Clinton
is a lawyer. That's why she's speaking like this. She so he
got her in her lawyer mode. She responds like a lawyer. Now he
does a beautiful thing. throws in a little joke to put her off.
This guy's brilliant.
Thank you. That would be greatly appreciated. And I wrote a
letter to yesterday. Don't. I'm sure you got it and you've read
it. Yeah.
I thought it was for my birthday. Yeah,
well, happy birthday. Happy
birthday. Beautiful. Now Naylor, under under the arms
export control act of the Justice Department was required
to receive a written waiver from the State Department to account
for their intent to cause arms to be exported to drug cartels
in Mexico. If no such waiver was received. Justice Department
officials have violated the law. And you would agree with that
correct?
I cannot offer an opinion. Well, you would agree. I don't know. I
mean,
no one told me he was gonna do this damn. And I so I'm
I'm being asked, I have no I'm not asked
first time I'm being asked. But she's used to this all being
theater. That's why she said, hey, no one told me this
question was coming you if you in the pre interview,
if there was such a written, but if they hadn't asked, I don't
see saved by law, the Justice Department would be violating US
law, I
cannot offer you any opinion on that. I don't have any
information or any analysis, I can only tell you the facts as
we know them in the State Department.
Okay, well, I will submit
them and say that if the law says that they have to get a
written if the State Department is is required to give a written
waiver for the cause of arms to be exported to drug cartels in
Mexico, and they didn't do that, and that didn't happen, then
they are in violation of the law.
So I believe the Obama administration is under complete
attack from all sides. They're attacking every single bit of
it, and Hillary just threw the Attorney General under the bus.
She said no, we No, of course not. We don't have any of that.
And then he says, Well, do you know that that's like, basically
breaking the law? You can't export weapons,
under any circumstances? Beautifully. First, he got her
to admit that she didn't know anything. Yeah. But if she
didn't know anything that she What about this needed document?
Yep. Before that, before the process even began before Fast
and Furious was even executed from day one, you'd have to have
this document and if you didn't know anything, then obviously
there was no document. So they're in violation of the law
is fantastic. So
the tell is, of course that she says I this is the first time
I'm being asked this question. That's the tell, that shows you
that normally, all of the C span stuff is theater, we know that
because, you know, we enjoy watching it. So it's our version
of entertainment. That is theater, and she got nailed. So
I think that there's people inside the administration who
are now leaking out stuff, they're helping the attackers
and it's over. And she just really screwed it up. And this
is not her and heads are rollin as we speak. There's people with
ball gags in their mouth being whipped. You know, she's like in
her leather outfit. clippity clop with their big clogs on.
Tell me slave who did it.
Let me play one of these Texas Congressman berating This is
short clip. These guys are so irked by these people listen to
the Texas Congressman borates in the Paula Tano.
Based on your experience, do you think 34% is a high number of
foreign nationals in anybody's jail? Well, I mean, you either
you do or you don't. Listen, I am listening. You listen, answer
the question your lawyer, you know, to answer the question and
not just ramble so that the time expired? Counselor,
she's a lawyer, too. I didn't realize Janet was a lawyer.
Yeah, she was. A lawyer says let you know, I was always waiting
for one of these guys. Because there were people are saying,
look, look, listen. Listen, listen. So he didn't put that
was great. No, you listen,
this is this. This is so entertaining. This is I just
love this. This is so awesome.
Let's let's go back to some of these things. Let's go to the
title of three Napoletana cross examination. Okay. That leads
don't tell me But wait, there's more. Oh, my goodness
persona from using the same investigatory and prosecutorial
tools that we use in every other district. Not that I know. So
there's no reason that this quote gun trafficking case could
not have been handled like it is handled in all the other states.
I'm not commenting to this one. I'm not second guessing. Fast
and Furious. That's under investigation. Now.
Everyone else has second guessed. And the Attorney
General has said there were problems. The President has said
there were problems. So I'm not asking you to say anything. They
haven't already said. Do you agree there were problems with
fast and furious?
I thought you were asking a much more specific question. But what
I would say is obviously there were problems with Fast and
Furious. What were those problems? Oh, well, obviously,
you don't want to let guns with the kind of firepower that that
we now no we're involved to get out of your control
is firepower. The only reason you don't let go? There's a
number of them. But but if you want to cross examine me about
cross examine
you, Madam Secretary, I'm asking you about Fast and Furious. I'm
asking
you, what I'm explaining to you is that the case itself and the
manner in which it was handled is under the jurisdiction of the
Inspector General. But obviously from a from a what we know
perspective. Yeah, there were there were problems. Absolutely.
When you were the United States Attorney in the district of
Arizona, did you ever have title three cases? T threes? Yes. And
those applications were approved. By whom?
What's the T three?
It had? I have to look it up again. He explained Terminator
three it was interesting that he said title three and she'd then
use the jargon T three. Yeah. Which was which was to make it
you know, to trivialize it, you can look at Title Three, it's
has something to do with movement across the border. I
was concerned that she kept using the word obviously, she
used it three times in that little, just a very short period
of time meaning, which is the drawing back at the at the
question or Well, obviously, you're an idiot for asking
because it's obvious, right? And so she likes to pull that off.
But the mistake she made was she said well, with guns with this
kind of firepower. We should let go grunts Oh, but the other
call? Yeah.
Yeah. What is okay, you know, it's like, is it 22? Okay, is
that better? Women? USA PATRIOT Act, Title Three is as part of
the Patriot Act, it'd be international money laundering
abatement and financial anti Terrorism Act of containment
with title. It's just so it's just is that like a secret word
for Patriot Act?
Yes, it's title 40 Patriot Act doesn't allow this kind of
activity essentially, by by the citizens apparently the
government does it. But that goes on and on to a long title
three thing which I thought was just a little too much to, to
leave in there.
I like it. I want you to, if you want to cross examine me, then
get my
she's very glib. She's not as bad as Jackson. Oh, wait,
basically, it's nothing but disdain.
You will have the ball gag me bitch if you want to cross
examine me.
But there's a couple other things that came out in her
testimony besides the Fast and Furious stuff. There was this
the the guy in the border jails if you want to play that this is
kind of interesting that the Texas border jails apparently
there's so many foreign nationals in our jails. It's
costing us a fortune but the Iranians are going I didn't know
anything about this. You know, the Iranians are bringing it
bringing in explosives. Nobody said that know that they weren't
a word
into the jail.
Get Texas border jails and Iranians
down at the border. It's a very different border than it was
even three or four years ago.
I agree it's worse. The Iranians apparently think our border is
less secure than We do otherwise they wouldn't have gone to
Mexico to work with, supposedly the Zetas to smuggle in
explosives into the United States. The Iranians know about
the cross border traffic of the Zetas or other drug cartels that
were missing. In my opinion, the Zetas. Other drug cartels have
to have access to the United States, they have access back to
Mexico. So it seems like the Iranians obviously know
something about the lacs border than we do. The Bureau of
Prisons says that 27% of the people in the federal
penitentiary 27% are foreign criminal aliens, that means they
are illegally in the United States when they commit a
felony. All of those 27%, a fourth of the population in the
federal penitentiaries got here some way. And they got here
illegally, according to the statistics of the Bureau of
Prisons. And if the border is so secure, let me give you some
insight as to the Texas border where I have been numerous times
in areas that aren't exactly as safe as you claim the sheriff's
on any given day, we will call the sheriff's and the border
jails and say how many people are in your jail, that are
foreign nationals, not criminal aliens, foreign nationals. The
most recent one is have the border counties, and the average
is about 34. and a half percent of the people in Texas border
jails are from foreign.
This just gets crazier.
It gets crazier and crazier. And none of this stuff is covered by
the mainstream media. It's very interesting. I only have one
more clip I think is important. Which was another item I've
never heard of, which is the there's a there's also a funny
clip about insinuation where she's just given some guy crap,
it's too long to play. But here's the one let's see, replay
this one. This is all news to me. Apparently, China in
particular, and there's other countries, we arrest some guy
for doing something terrible. And this was one story that's
told here by this Congresswoman. They just have a heinous crime
and then we tried to deport them. And the Chinese say Screw
you. We don't want that idiot. And they just let him go back
into the community play this back into the community clip
will not accept them that you release them back into the
communities. Well, they're based on
ruling. Yeah, there's a Supreme Court case called Xavi DOS,
which is a due process case which if if the home country
cannot accept or will not accept, gives us a bout a six
month detention period.
And in fact, some of these people have come back into the
communities and committed heinous crimes I truly heinous.
Like Amos Huang Qin, who killed a young woman, I believe, after
China had refused to repatriate Eisen. Was that true? And if I
remember reading this correctly, they still have not located her
heart and lungs. Oh, gosh. I mean, I'm the one who called the
police. It's
better than the Special Victims Unit. Her heart and lungs of the
zombies Ada, don't you realize officer Fort
Myers after being released back into the community because their
home country would not take them? You know, section 243 D of
the Immigration Nationality Act requires the government to
sanction countries that refuse to repatriate by suspending
issuance of immigrant or non immigrant visas or both to
nationals of the country until it takes aliens back.
I love this. But although I'm more interested in there where
her heart and lungs are that's
sold the heart to someone in the lungs, I guess. But the idea was
she goes on about how there's a it's a specific law that if they
won't take the people back, they're supposed to, we have to
take action lend in this case against the Chinese and revoke
everybody's visa Wells from China. Well, and the Polit
Donald's going into this, I'm not absolutely sure where we see
it. And she just won't say anything. It's just amazing. So
advantage is being taken of the situation. Coincidentally, which
of course doesn't exist. With the Department of Homeland
Security. That would be Janet Napolitano is department handing
out $300,000 grants to places such as Houston, Texas, to
create drones flying around in the air. And I'm sure you
received a link or two about this but I have the local a now
that I made about to become a Texan. I've got the local news
report, which is always better than anything else you can
imagine. And normally only play the videotape portion of the
report. In this case, I actually have some of the banter of the
newscasters because they actually are quite funny.
points from all laptop computer deputies can fly this 50 pound
shadow Hawk unmanned helicopter. Powerful camera on the front is
controlled with this game like console and the manufacturer
says this one's even designed to carry weapons
stun baton where you can actually engage somebody that
altitude with the aircraft, the stump. Stump atonement
essentially disable a suspect.
Montgomery county sheriff Tommy gage says he has no plans for
weapons just yet, but he does have approval to fly for SWAT
team standoffs and searching for criminals on the run. To be an
own grandfather was pretty exciting for him.
It's pretty exciting right here and overall boards are gonna go
zap you from the air
in 2007. Local two investigates uncovered a secret Houston
police test of a different type of drone, but so many people
complained of police spying on them after our story went
worldwide. Mayor Parker scrapped the idea when she took office
but Montgomery County's ready to go
big brother watching situation certainly is not going to be
used for that it's going to be used if somebody's a criminal
and own we're looking for him that's what we're going to use
the vehicle
I love it how the old guy catches himself saying is like a
big brothers who situation
as so simple in its design and the objectives of it beautiful.
Just wonder why anyone would choose Not
now why don't we have them everywhere. It's fantastic,
beautiful.
Flights here at the montgomery county sheriff's office could
begin within a month according to the sheriff now this drone
that arrives here today could be outfitted with a taser to
actually zap a suspect from above or fire off.
A taser to zap a suspect from above wait, there's
more or less stun guns are beanbags,
beanbags, potatoes suspect throwing beanbags out of these
there hey
have a beanbag who Zappa suspect from the air. What is this? This
is not just I mean, you have to have contact so either they've
got like some high tech weaponry with a laser to the Zapier says
it's
all about keeping his officers safe in very volatile situation.
He says he will keep privacy concerns in mind. He says it
will be done right here and here comes the kicker and check it
out and Dean KPRC let's get to the payment part.
Montgomery county sheriff says that $300,000 in federal
Homeland Security grant money paid for its drone, let me move
to training for the two deputies who will fly it on policemen
so the important thing is that this meme fest are the FAA has
given them permission to fly now I'm going to presume they have
to be below 500 feet with this thing just for general aviation
practices, which typically will not allow you to fly under 500
feet above 100 500 feet above ground level that's that's the
kind of low for general aviation, you've you in some
places will overseas it differs but in general 500 feet
sometimes 2000 That's the lowest altitude so these things are
gonna have to be below it. Otherwise, you know, it's crazy.
I mean, you can't have people tooling around in their Cessna
all sudden, this
is not the same as that we're using in Afghanistan. There are
no no,
no, this is like a like a crap, right?
I'm telling C's are gonna be brought down.
Oh, I am shooting this thing. If I see one of these things flying
over my house in Austin. I am blowing it out of the sky. In
fact, I think it's a game. You don't even have to say pole. You
just hear this thing flying by and like it's gonna be fun. Now,
the other part is zapping people from the sky. Really. And
throwing beanbags. A beanbag drone. A beanbag. Are you
freaking kidding me? Now this is this is nuts. But it is based
upon a $300,000 grant.
Yeah, this is a bribe. Totally. Here's a bunch of money for you
guys in chain a couple guys keep an extra couple officers on the
payroll and buy one of these pieces of crap. Whatever it is,
I mean, we're just probably a brand involved in some little
one of these little mini drones, the kind that can fly up to your
window and appear in. Yeah. Disgusting.
The video as you can see in the show,
Texas. Anybody in Texas, you know, have an independent minded
group of people say, Hey, that's a great idea. Let's let the
federal government run our lives.
Well, first of all, we don't all talk like that in Texas. But
since you're doing it, I will blow that sumbitch out of sky
boy.
You know, I will,
of course, like from Alabama. Well, so anyway, the good old
boys will teach law dish, the good old laws. I had known that
we're not gonna have any of that.
Can it? May I please give you some props for a moment here.
Oh, thank you. You were so spot on about Anwar al aulaqi. About
that being an extraction
I remember that was show up show up in LA.
Yeah, he was at the premiere of No. But there's a little twist
to it. What happened here? This is a fight between the FBI and
CIA. And the as demonstrated in this clip now here, this is the
douchebag. Who's, who used to be what's his name, who used to be
the head of the bin Laden unit. The guy who you know that guy,
that idiot who's always on Fox,
always on the air. He's just and he's a book, phony blowhard. And
I think he's disinformation specialist. His only reason he's
on any Well,
the thing I like about what he's about to say here is he
essentially asserts that the droning of Anwar al aulaqi, and
of course, this leads right into his son, who was, as you
correctly pointed out, was a loose end was actually because
the FBI was looking bad because this guy worked for the FBI. And
they had to get rid of him while listening.
For years that there was a link, a direct link that I Locky had
contact with some of the 911 hijackers. Why now after he's
been killed, is this becoming an issue?
Well, I think several reasons. They're very concerned about the
growth of domestic militancy in the United States. Clearly, I'll
walk is just one of a number of people who are here trying to
incite young Muslim males to attack their country. Second, I
think you have to put some responsibility on to your own
Catherine herridge is very good book on the FBI is a mishandling
of all walkie they apparently, were running him as an agent, at
least they thought, and they facilitated his removal from the
country before anybody could talk to them. So I think there's
a lot of there's a lot of stuff going on here that really wasn't
covered by the 911. Commission, sir.
So if in fact, there is this link, and we prove it and this
against allegations, turns up all the evidence, what does it
change?
Well, it changes how we think about domestic security. You
know, the FBI and other personal justice have has have always
argued that there are no sleeper cells or terrorist cells in the
United States because we haven't found them. Well. There's a lot
of times in life you'll look for something but in don't find it,
but it's it's out there somewhere. For example, Osama
bin Laden and his mentor, if you will, a Palestinian Sheikh named
Abdullah Azzam had more than 50 offices and representatives in
the United States during the Afghan war against the Soviets
in the 1980s. They had already established infrastructure, but
the desire the 911 Commission, it seemed to me and I'm very
biased on this was to blame the CIA for the failure and drop it
at that. And now we're finding out that other people had
opportunities other people knew about activities that were going
on in our country, and the 911 Commission ignored them.
So might this either strengthen the case for a lackeys
assassination? Or might it strengthen the calls for those
who said hey, it might have been better had we detain this guy
questioned him and found out the things that he was involved in?
I think it was better to kill him sir I think he did a walkie
is better than a walkie to talk to
a dead a walkie is better than an a walkie to talk to.
That work. Yeah. Well, so this is so he used a div that doesn't
mean blame the CIA. So he's obviously still, you know, add
some connection because he is he's a shill obviously he's a
shill and he
he's blaming the FBI on on killing and wants to
throw some some blame on the FBI. And, and he may be actually
announcing the fact that, hey, we've got a locking out. You
guys better shut up about a couple of things.
Exactly. So this is the ongoing war inside our own country. And
then the end of it is that some poor kid gets drone because he's
a loose end because he can say, Yeah, my dad was FBI.
Right, something like that. Although I still think they
extracted him too.
Although, if you believe what's the guy's name Dickey of
Newsweek douchebag Dickey is what I'll call him. Who's
douchebag Dickey, he works for like in Newsweek, I forget his
first name. And when you hear him, the short clip near drones
are okay, killing people is not a problem that
eroded our moral status in the world was invading Iraq and
occupying the countries occupying Iraq, Afghanistan for
the last 10 years. I mean, that is what erodes moral authority.
Frankly, I don't think the Americans and most of the rest
of the world care about drone attacks here there and
everywhere if you're attacking a handful of bad guys,
I don't care here. They're everywhere. Yeah, it's always as
bad guys. I don't care about drone attacks. No, John, you're
American people. Do you care? I don't care. It's awesome. It's
one over the head over the house. Now.
Here their drones here. They're everywhere. Who cares? No one
gives a crap no one cares. No one cares about drones. It's
okay. It's good. It's good for bad guys being back the bad
guys. Woohoo. You know what people I hope you're the first
to get being backed by a drone.
So, to talk on that topic, there was a thing on book TV over the
weekend that I thought was kind of interesting. It was a
discussion of various nonfiction and fiction books by lawyers
about lawyers, and they ended questioning thinking, this is
entertaining to you. Yeah, it was actually, and what it
relates exactly to what you were just talking about, let's play
the clip, which is guy asked a question. It's got ended the
clip is a little long, called the end of due process.
And I'm just wondering, you know, I was thinking, you know,
they got some process and not process. But in our large,
larger legal issues, it seems like due process is being taken
away from us when you say arbitration, but the due
process, for instance, the drones, killing people, overseas
American citizens without due process. I just wonder if we
could talk a little bit about that.
Wow. That is an it's a fundamental issue to the
integrity, I think of our justice system is due process. I
don't know that that we can, we're we are in a very complex
fight for civils for civil society in this world, I don't
know that you can make it all whittled down to due process. So
I don't I don't want to try to do that with drones and the
like. But but but but let me take your point. And expand on
it just this much. I think you hit a you hit a nerve, when you
say we may be putting due process in jeopardy. Because if
you don't have that, then all of the other pillars in the
structure of the justice system fall? Wow.
Yeah, they go on and they bring up a bunch of these points.
There was a it was very actually interesting on an on kind of a
high level that they these lawyers, and neither one was the
that was there at this con fab was this guy DS who's the
Southern Poverty Law Center guy who was very famous lawyer, who
also discusses the something he believes that the entire court
system is, is done for because everything now is based on
contracts and proration. This drone, and the drones will be
just part of this whole system. And he mentioned in particular
you can play this clip is DS in the end of chords, but he
mentioned this interesting he says you know the movie
Philadelphia, you know, where the where the AIDS, Tom Hanks
won the Academy Award, the AIDS guy choose his own law firm
because they got rid of him, right? He says this is this
today. This wouldn't happen in a million years. He says you when
you sign up with any law firm in any way,
shape, or form, you sign away your right to sue them. Yeah,
yes, I sign
an arbitration clause immediately. He says this whole
movie is bogus.
First of all, there's a move to close the courthouse door. And
when I go to speak to the last law students at Alabama, can't
lock them all in, they can't get out during freshman orientation.
So I get to indoctrinate him a little bit. I've done this for
many, many years. And I always tell him that y'all walk down
the hall to the moot courtroom, because that's probably gonna be
on the only courtrooms you're gonna get to see. And when you
get out of out of law school, you're gonna put on your best
preparation, you're gonna get everything right, and you're
gonna stand in front of the, and you're gonna, you're gonna make
your opening statement, you're gonna say, and may it please the
arbitrator. That's the case. That's really the case. But I do
think that we've got to really fight to keep the courtroom door
open. And as there's a conspiracy on his conscience,
especially in civil courts to shut the courtroom door because
corporate America does not trust the jury. And you know, and I
gave a talk once you can, you don't need to go to law school
to learn to practice law, just watch the movies. And so I did
that one year. Then I just said, Let's take what are your
favorite movie stops kill Mockingbird, we're gonna get to
the Philadelphia Story. So I like that. First of all, how
many y'all came to law school to learn to go in a courtroom and
represent people's rights? All the hands go up? So we think
about Philadelphia St. Louis, that's great story. I said,
Well, that'd be no trial on that today. Everybody. You know why?
Nobody knows why I said, because when that lawyer signed up that
law firm, he would have signed a binding arbitration agreement,
he would never had a trial. So I think it's important that these
logbooks emphasize that theme in it keep the idea that that we
need to have a jury system. I asked law students all the time.
Do you know what the Sixth Amendment is? Well, everybody
knows that it's right to jury trial. And I say what about the
Seventh Amendment? Most of us some of you may know what it
means. I'm sure you do. Know what it means. But it's the
right to a jury trial of a civil case for any amount of $25 or
more, right, that's just lost on those people up here in
Washington, DC small claims.
You know, I'm going to predict the future John, and you and I
will be a part of it. If we can stay alive and on the air, we
will have a segment on the show. And it will go something like
this when
Gina and Gianni been married for five years, and now they want to
split up but they're not gonna go to court. There's no divorce.
Oh, no. Let's see who's gonna play in? Charge.
Right. Let's see who can escape the drone. Don't need to go to
court, just drone the bitch.
So you just love that?
Because I can see it happening. I'm tired of it so well, soon.
But I can see it happening. I can see, like, you know, you
don't go to court to get a divorce. You just said drowner.
Sorry.
presynaptic, you know, could be just a simple drawing on a
prenup doesn't have to be drawn up, you know, we would get feel
about prenups you know, super rich, then you know, they're
used to him. But the normal people out there, they would
never sign one because it's like, oh, you love me. If you
love me, you and me sign this. Yeah. But if the prenups the
devolve into really not prenups at all, you have to rename them
to something else, a marriage agreement, marriage arbitration
agreement would be a good name. And essentially, before you get
married, the two of you say just in case we, if anything happens,
we go to an arbitrator. We don't go we don't start suing each
other and all these, this expensive process where lawyers
make all the money. And that's that you both sign off on the
marriage arbitration agreement and you get married. That's
something like that will definitely be in the car. It's
for everybody. And we'll be moaning about it. We keep it
as till death do us part till death by drone. It's gonna be
really easy. That's great. Yeah, well, this is a problem.
Yeah, it's like a real problem.
Everyone's a lawyer.
The thing about the Seventh Amendment, you know, that small
claims court anything over 25 bucks. Yeah. Yeah, you can do a
lot with like, your phone company. You can be suing them.
You can yeah, there's a lot of you know, I just file and you go
in there and they never show up and they always have a judgment
against them. And then you can get a mechanic's lien and shut
the business down if you don't.
My entire point about this win loser drone game show is not far
fetched, because we have Judge Judy and you know, judge, Judge
jingo, and judge jabroni all these reality shows based upon
the $25 small claims court rule. That's why the all these these
crazy show up in court in the so called television court, so you
know, it's a logical outcome. Wow, man, we gotta get on this.
And by the way, the way the donations are going, we might
have to Speaking of which, now, actually, yeah, I do want to
speak about donations, but then of the presidential kind. One of
the guilty pleasures I have is watching that aihole spokes Hall
Kearney, that a guy with a Napoleon Complex, who speaks on
behalf of the President of the White House. And he's got his
own little show. He loves his little show. Listen to how this
deck starts his show on Friday.
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to your daily
briefing in the West Wing of the White House, the People's House.
Good Friday, people's Good Friday, everybody. Welcome to
the White House, the people's houses the West Wing. This
module I'm Jay Carney deck is the people's is he talking to
the same reporters everyday Welcome to the people's house,
the People's House. So this is the fantastically transparent
this is just a great lovable clip about how the Obama
administration the most transparent administration in
history, it's a fact. The fact you know that, don't you, John,
it's a fact. A fact.
It's a bogus fact, that fact,
the most transparent in history are so proud that they are not
taking money from lobbyists, no money from lobbyists ever no
money from lobbyists. Unless Unless there's a way around it.
This is a very, very funny clip. And I'm not sure who the
journalist is, but he deserves a delusion.
The Occupy Wall Street people were upset about his special
interest as having a lot of influence here in Washington and
having their voices heard, and not individuals being heard. And
the New York Times that story today about this campaign pledge
the President made about lobbyists not being allowed to
get money to his campaign. And yet the story lays out in great
detail. However, there are a lot of people just giving but
raising half a million dollars each lot of money for the
President's campaign, and they just don't register as
lobbyists, but their livelihood is lobbying.
So let me just explain what's going on here. So there's
registered lobbyists on behalf of companies, but in stead of
saying, Hey, I'm a lobbyist, here's money to lobby and take
our money, which the President has said he would never take
that. They are bundlers and they're taking donations from
well, I don't know, people who might happen to work at some
firms that have an interest. And then they under personal tighter
title are giving, you know, half a million dollars the campaign
which the Obama administration is happily accepting. And I
guess the New York Times had an article about this. So it shows
that, you know, there's all arrows are aimed at this
president. But the way Carney addresses it and answer is just
hilarious. How do you square those?
I mean, first of all, they don't you make it sound like they
don't register as lobbyists and then somehow violating the law.
The this President's record is unprecedented in terms of
precedent, rejection of money from PACs and lobbyists.
I mean, I think what's interesting is it's
unprecedented it's a it's a fact be quiet, that
you're citing that story and not discussing it
can go either way. You know, that's true. That's true, as
good point be like he's gotten more than anybody. But
he's, you know, going off the Republican when the guy is the
journalist is good at
demonstrated that lobbyists are lining up to in record numbers
to contribute to Republican campaigns campaigns that openly
and willingly accept money from lobbyists and
the president 1008 made a pledge, right, he would call the
other candidates
but he is he got that pledge, and has been more transparent,
and has held himself and his administration to higher
standards than any administration in history
in history in history in history. So
it's a record we're very proud of.
So how then in the story of a woman who runs Pfizer's lobbying
shop when you ask well, they don't lobby. She runs Pfizer's
lobbying shop drug company, billions of dollars of interests
around the world. They lobby the White House, they lobby
Congress, she runs her lobbying shop, and yet she's raised
$500,000 for the President's campaign. Isn't that violent? Is
that's not the point. Shut up. The
point is this
president has been the most transparent in terms of
disclosure, the most ethical in terms of the money that he will
accept nominee he won't accept it. There is no one who
compares,
oh, nothing compares thus far, thus far,
we hope that there will be and it certainly none of the
Republican candidates are even. I mean, they don't even make an
app. Right. And the fact is, this President's record is
unparalleled in this regard,
right. But he's also the President right now. They're
candidates. We don't know who's going to get the nomination.
They should be held to
a standard prior to when he ran for office, not just
Comcast lobby, David Cole
runs who I know, by the way, David Comcast lobbying
raise to half a million dollars. I understand keep saying
disclosure and everything else. But how do you have somebody
who's running a lobbying shop and raising a half a million
dollars? How does that square with a ban?
I again, again,
what should we How should I answer this? Let me just say
we're unquestionably unparalleled, the most
transparent
the President's standards are unequaled in this regard. The
practice has been unprecedented in this regard, the
transparency, the disclosure, unequaled again, by any other
candidate, we're very confident that that his record on this is
exemplary.
You know, he will be on the wrong side of history to use the
elites own words. One day, he will be on the wrong side of
history, and he will be embarrassed and his children
will be embarrassed about having a father that stood there and
lied in the people's house.
Hey, John, the ex editor of Time Magazine,
let's say we should go to DC and say, Hey, is spokes Hall Kearney
here, we want to have lunch in the people's house. You want to
have a picnic and the people's people's house. We want to have
a little
little people's house.
So you don't have to remind me because I reminded myself Clay
Shirky, do you know who this gentleman is Clay Shirky, who is
who's Clay Shirky.
He's one of the kind of blogger turned professor writes a lot of
books on the internet and how it's important to society and
all those kinds of things. And he's kind of probably, of all
the guys who do that sort of work. He's, if you see him once
he's finished, he's probably the most full of himself of all of
them.
So he's also a consultant to the Ministry of Truth, the New York
Times
that your recollection, I don't know that but it's possible.
Yes. When surprised?
So he was speaking at the Columbia School of Journalism,
which is where they train the new slaves of the Ministry of
Truth. And of course, these are all elitist, eight holes. And,
you know, that guy James O'Keefe, who goes undercover and
does like the acorn stuff, and you know,
right right guy,
so he has a website called Project Veritas. asked which is
kind of funny by itself. And he went undercover. And his whole
mission was kind of to expose that they're elitist. And, you
know, they're talking about how they support Obama. And I don't
give a crap about any of that. But there are two little clips
that I pulled from his undercover footage. The first
one actually shows how I believe you and I were duped about this
Occupy Wall Street, because of course, now we see that as we
played at the start of the show, the President is now using the
1% meme. So it's not just the president, it's the dollar we
duped? Well, I'll Well, listen, we were duped in the coverage by
the mainstream media. He explains exactly how why the
mainstream media, like the New York Times didn't cover Occupy
Wall Street in the beginning, because they actually wanted to
give it full blown coverage and really make it very successful
for the President and the unions. So the problem
is, if you want Occupy Wall Street to succeed, you want them
not to get press coverage in the beginning. So in a way, although
Occupy Wall Street loves to talk about the lack of press
attention, the period between when they started going and when
the press caught on less than 10 day. And that that was actually
probably good. But it mattered so much to Occupy Wall Street
that no newspaper sent them any traffic in the beginning. So
that by the time the media stuff appeared, they had a cultural
core that was solid enough, solid enough to absorb that
traffic. And if the times, if the fans have thought they were
doing them a favor by saying, oh, you know, 20 kids slept
overnight in the park, and this is going to shake the world, he
would have shaken the world less than it has now. So even if the
times were being completely tactically liberal, they still
wouldn't want to rush in and front run that story.
So just by the way, is classic Shirky bullshit. But go on.
To what are you saying? I'd say it's bullshit, that the times
wasn't in
there sitting around in a meeting, well, here's what we
got to do, boys, we got to keep this standard cover for a while.
And then we're gonna blow it out that that way can be a big deal
we can push to you. They don't do that in these meetings, they
basically have a meaning they're not that dishonest. They're not
a bunch of criminals like he's making them out to be this is
just one of these reverse thought things where he can come
up and come up with some some very creative explanation that
sells more books. That's what he does. That's what his job is.
Well, he's helping us by exposing the business model of
our national treasure, NPR.
Guys, that is that the whole idea of sponsorship has been
made ridiculous. NPR runs advertising. But because of the
way the tax code is written, they don't have to call it
advertising. But but a radio ad plus a URL is direct marketing.
So the invention of the web has created enormous wind and NPR
sales for raising money through a an advertising model, but they
don't pay taxes. There was never will that loophole to be closed
and PR wouldn't put the problem.
Hey, do you pay taxes, John?
You know, this, we paid nothing but taxes. This I'm not I'm
going to look into this because I don't think that's true. As
far as I know, the only reason usually, the underwriting model
is to dupe people into thinking that there is no advertising our
no corporate influence. And so the public broadcasters used,
they just use the word underwriting and as casually use
just as we have from that old clip, where she says
underwriting whatever you want to call it advertising, right.
And I don't know that the tax code has anything to do with it.
I'm gonna I mean, I can look into this, but it sounds again,
like Shirky kinda like dreaming up something that make it sound,
you know, because it's just his stuff is compelling. If it's
like one of these philosophers with crazy ideas, it sounds kind
of interesting until you, you know, you realize that you've
been suckered into false thinking. I mean, it's like
chomps. He's basically a Chomsky of this sort of observation of
observational writing. You're really not buying that you're
buying what he said. Right, right. Yeah, right. But I'm not
buying because it's a tax code issue.
Well, I liked it. He said, it's advertising because you have a
brand name, a product and a URL that is advertising no matter
well, actually, here's how the former CEO of NPR called it
Okay, moving
on to money. How are NPR is corporate underwriting revenues
holding up in the recession? And what about foundation grants
to different stories? Underwriting is underwriting is
is down it's down for everybody. I mean, this is this is the this
is the area that is most down for us. This is in is in
sponsorship, underwriting advertising. Call it whatever
you want. 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. You nailed
it.
Well, we have our little group of underwriters
and we do or advertising color whatever you want.
And they're advertising for themselves. Robert Rodriguez and
Lomita California is as he's advertising his town of Lomita.
California. He needs a D douching. And a sharp
Carmageddon, but double.
D Do you've got karma
that he gave us $120 To keep the show on the road. Thank you,

Australia as now Australians. Had their wings have been
clipped there's no more flying quantas grounded
Yeah, no, that guy's a douchebag he gave himself he had a board
meeting gave himself a promotion and a huge CEO of me gave
yourself a raise so he's making more money and then he shut down
the airline because the the three unions are striking
against the conditions and outsourcing and all kinds of
they're trying to screw the unions again and one of these
situations where there's just you know, there's not enough
money to go around because if you're going to pay yourself
even more money as the CEO you know, you don't really have to
yet start firing people this
is like there are people you know, stranded everywhere they
can't get hold Scrum. Just slaves who gives a crap is
cattle. Screw you cattle.
We shouldn't think guys gotta go but they're you know, if they
give the they fire him to give him like a golden parachute. And
that would be worse. But anyway, I want to remind everybody to go

Friday, November 4. Time TBA will never win. We never win
anything. We're not going to win that.
No, I mean, we got a bunch of guys out there that can do bots
but they just don't do them
well, it is appreciated. Very light, surprisingly light,
actually, for this particular episode, but there you go.
That's what happens.
What happens when what happens when I don't know when?
When the show sucks? I don't know what happened. Yeah, if the
show sucked or if it was Halloween and everyone's busy,
it was busy getting costumes as possible. I went to
wait until Thanksgiving rolls around. We get nothing.
Yeah, and it's gonna be tough because you know, we got the
move come in, and I'm doing the show on the road. And then from
hotel rooms. This on next Sunday. Yeah, this coming
Sunday. I'm gonna have to do the show from San Francisco. It's
the annual resurge awards that Mickey and I try and steal money
from medical venture capitalists to help messed up kids. We do
that once a year. In San Francisco. Yeah. Yeah. It's, you
know, we try to do one or two things for free. We try to do
our bit. And every year, you know, we host this is good. They
raised like $700,000, or something from these douchebag
venture capitalist guys. And it helps kids who are messed up.
And they're good organization because because they basically
had no money. They put it all into sending out medical teams
and stuff. But every year it's like, Oh, crap. Do that again.
To come by the office. No,
hell no. Crazy I'd do anything of the sort. So yeah, so we have
one of these then
also a very short list just one name Aaron Stark congratulates
himself as he is celebrating his birthday today. Happy Birthday
on behalf of all your buddies here at the no agenda show.
Sometimes known as the best podcast in the universe, as yes,
we've taken a vow of poverty to bring that to you faithfully,
faithfully. I tell you.
Somebody's in their truck right now listening going out with me
when I get home. Yeah.
The guys are cool. But you know,
and by the way, anyone who you know, every little bit helps. So
if you want to just go to the donation page, if you only have
a couple of dollars, and close out your Pay Pal account a
couple of bucks is it all adds up?
To pull out the Red Book and put down two weeks.
The weeks the show goes under
no Europe goes under. Oh, yeah, the Euro quake is coming.
You're gonna You're sure we can we can pool? Yeah, we can pull
this
for sure. Well, I'll tell you what this is based on I think
it's important to discuss because it will affect us here
in the United States of getting
these are made a request for people to send us some euros and
note we do get we got to Australians coming in, although
the Australian dollar strong too, but it's not a lapse like
the euro.
So on the last show, we will we we of course were celebrating
the fact that Europe had been saved. No sooner no sooner had
the document come out and had we read it, which basically says,
Well, you know, the 50% Debt Forgiveness is voluntary and all
this stuff and all the thing is bogus. And then nothing. And
then the German boondockers talk, the parliament essentially
said, Well, you know, yeah, this is all good. Her Merkel but you
know, we're gonna have to vote every single time with the full
parliament for money to go out to go save the frogs and the
pasta guys. And, and Italy, which we thought it was going to
be Spain or Portugal. But it looks like Italy is the one
that's going to fall into the to the abyss in one day, the cost
of them borrowing money, which is what this bond selling is all
about. And I think it's important for us to talk to our
producers about this. Because God forbid anyone explained it
on in the American news media. What's actually happening is the
cost of their borrowing went up. I don't like a full point,
showing that the markets, the financial markets, like no, we
don't buy this. So I think it's I think it's two weeks, I think,
what are we today the 20? So let's say November 15, no
11 1111 Let's just call it 11 1111. So it'd be Friday the
11th of November is when Europe will crash. You wanna you want
to weigh in do you think it's going to take longer?
January oh really think January I think they're going to try and
do everything they can to bullshit their way through the
Christmas season. Try to get a little action going there that
little last ditch profits and then it'll collapse in January
Nigel Farage was on with the with the Judge Napolitano if you
want to hear that free. It's not like one of the the Faraj rants
In the in Parliament, but it's kind of nasty. I'm always
gaming, I'd like to get one of this is a little bit of him.
Okay.
Well, I'm pleased we're having this debate because I've been
amazed over the last few weeks, there's been a wall of silence
from America. No one's been saying anything. I mean, with
respect, I would say that your president is handling your own
public finances pretty badly. How on earth can you want to get
involved with 10s and 10s and 10s of billions of dollars more,
helping not not to bail out Greece and Portugal and Ireland,
but to keep them in prison inside a currency that they
should never have joined in the first place? All you guys are
doing and all we guys are doing is we're pouring good money off
the bat. It's going bust of that there's no doubt at all.
I wish you could make that statement to the Congress of the
United States, to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System. And to the President himself, Nigel, what will happen
if some miracle occurs, and the US says no, and Angela Merkel
says no. And David Cameron says no, and Nicolas Sarkozy says no,
and these countries are permitted to collapse.
Well, I can't see the IMF saying no, because whilst it's based in
Washington, you guys have turned a blind eye to the fact that the
last guy Dominique Strauss Kahn, was a French bureaucrat who
supported the euro. We've now got Christine Lagarde in charge,
another French bureaucrat, who supports the euro. So the IMF in
Washington has been hijacked. Angela Merkel is in a difficult
position, her own electorate increasingly are saying, look,
we've spent 20 years paying for Eastern Germany to be
reincorporated into the West after the Berlin Wall came down.
But we're not signing a blank check for Greece. And Cameron.
Well, frankly, he's got no backbone, and, frankly, no spine
at all. So we're inching towards the next bailout. But there is a
danger that at some point in time, the markets will just
overwhelm this thing. And it won't matter whether the bailout
fund is 1 trillion, or 2 trillion or 3 trillion events
will just become too big for
what what will happen, in your view, if there is no bailout?
And if contract law and the law of supply and demand and the
free market runs its natural course. I mean, aren't we
destined for the failure of the socialist entities anyway?
Wouldn't it be better to get it over with now?
Well, I couldn't agree more or less take the pain. I mean,
look, back in 2008, when these big banking crises hit and much
of it because of the stupidity of what American and European
politicians did with the banks, but think about Iceland.
Iceland, just simply could not muster the reserves, or the
political will to bail out the banks. They let the banks go
bankrupt. The Icelandic currency fell by 80%, interest rates went
to 20%. And it wasn't just the volcanic ash that year that made
things look grim in Iceland. But where's Iceland today? Well,
Iceland today is getting back to growth. She's taken the hit,
she's taken the bad news, and she's recovering. Take Greece,
we're keeping Greece trapped inside a currency, her currency
probably should be 65 to 70%, lower than it is, wow. You know,
most of her banks leave need to go bust. And the risk is this,
that we can talk about economics until the cows come home from
but the reality is, if you strip a country of its democracy, if
you take away from it, the ability of your own elected
government to do things, be they good or bad things, and you turn
it over to three foreign bureaucrats, one from the IMF,
one from the European Commission won for the European Central
Bank Transfer fortnight they landed Athens airport, they tell
the Prime Minister what he can and can't do. I put it to you
that if you rob people of their ability to determine their own
futures, they will turn to violence. And I believe that
what will happen in Greece before too long is there will be
a revolution. That is just how serious and how stupid this
whole thing is.
I'm buying that. I think that was a very eloquent explanation
of the whole issue. I'm
in total agreement to but the problem is, is that these guys
have been good at stalling it. The optimists on Wall Street
have been buying into everything they say. And so they keep
everything pumped up. That's why I think this can go past
Christmas. And it could go even further than that. But it's
definitely going to they're not going to let it the economy's
collapsed before Christmas.
Horrible. Well, they're already shooting their wad because I
love how Germany all of a sudden, a oh, we were looking
under the couch and we found 55 billion euros. How coincidental
is that? Did you see this? Yeah. It's like, oh, we just found 55
billion and a rounding error. A little accounting error. It's so
fake. All this is so fake. And meanwhile, you're not seeing
Greece on television. You can see a little bit of it on EURO
NEWS and a minute 30 clip of you know, it might as well be
occupied. Wall Street Denver or Oakland? It's all part of the
same thing. But yeah, I mean those people it's it's over.
That's like, It's pandemonium. It's really you should go to
people if you have a chance go to Greece and go, Stan. Oh, by
the way, bring a helmet. It's bad news there. It's really it's
this is bad, bad bad. So I'm saying two weeks. You're saying
through Christmas. I don't know. I don't know if they can. I
don't know if they can handle it. They're pretty good. It's
the markets moving real fast, man. All right. I could be
wrong, but I think 11 1111 is a perfect date. For it all to come
tumbling down like
I think is bold of you to bold. Do you think things are gonna
happen faster than they actually happen? But we'll see. So I have
an ask Adam.
Oh, oh, hold on a second. Do we? You know, you haven't done this
in such a long time. Let me see if we can find a
All right, NASSCOM, everybody is in response to the you know,
you're always out of the blue you crazy thing I can't answer.
So I'm gonna this is just a guess who this is clipping. You
have to tell me who this is. And see if you're gonna identify
this person.
Oh, guess who? This
is clip. Okay. All right. Here we go. Don't want every story.
I know. I already know. And it's gonna be on television tomorrow
night. I already have the DVR set. This is the the Hummer from
the New York Times
1800
Or is
a certain
lack of discipline. Sometimes. A point is repeated too many times
in a story. Are there three quotes making the same point
where one would do and I'd like to see a variety of storyline.
I know this was this is a promo right for
the Jill Abramson. Yeah, I saw the C span
I'm telling you, I was I was I was sitting at my at my
computer. I have C span on all of a sudden I'm like, Whoa, I'm
like, I'm like getting the remote. I'm like, I gotta record
this the Hummer. It's a Hummer. And that was like it was a
promo. But it's on Monday night on C span. Oh, yeah. I can't
wait because she's in major homage mode.
Meaning now meaning mattered. And Nina and ng Magnin. Evening,
Rene I'm
sure
she's doing a Gregorian Chant hang mainly
Ling Ling Ling Ling Ling Ling Ling Ling Ling Ling Ling.
So, an interesting piece of news cropped up over the last few
days. So, Google released its transparency report. Yeah.
telling everybody all the data requests. Have you seen this?
Yes, I have. Oh, nuts. Because I was going to ask you a question.
Like, for example, this are all the people that have governments
that have requested data from Google whose now says, Well, you
know, we just have to give it to them. And so the question is,
how many requests just out of the blue? Would people think
China, for example, ask Google for three? Three? And how many
did the United States ask Google for
when I looked at the chart? It said, None.
No fit? 50 950?
I know, but Brazil was second I think wasn't in Brazil. Number
two on that chart
India, India. Second, it's 1739 not even close the United States
we kick ass Yeah,
we are rocking, we're number one, we're number.
And Google has complied with 93% of them and they user specified
accounts. 11,057 accounts are specifically targeted by the
government to be looked at. If you compare that to let's say,
France 1300 requests 1600 user accounts. So you know, a factor
of by a factor of five Netherlands? 64 Yeah, Russia old
Russia 42. Switzerland 36 They don't care. We have 50 950
requests they request and that's
just what they're telling us right I mean, I don't lie could
be low yeah
could be ever the case is this is their this is Google so when
you go to Google your your your and it just means they can go to
the Gmail your Gmail account the government says hey, I want to
know about this guy here. He's been given to the no agenda
show. Well, let's look at his Gmail account is and
Oh, and here's his password for PayPal and here's his password
for Facebook and here's all this stuff Oh, yeah.
Yeah, I think it all that so you use Google s see I used
any of that. I had my own email server in house
knocked about screw go for your searches. Oh, just Google goes
and drudge through a bunch of hoops. And then you get the same
Google results in there you know, may or may not be safe,
but it's at least your thank you. They probably say for
whatever the case is. Google is turning over everything that you
every time it's asked they give.
There was a survey which see and didn't have a I saw it on the,
by the way for in the Austin place. I've ordered DVRs for all
of the televisions because you know I had this one TV. I have
two TVs,
right you this was a big bugaboo is
Yeah, screw that Oh no, I'm
on the wrong side.
I'm on the wrong box. So I wasn't able to record a CNN was
basically all the newspapers everybody ran with this survey.
And I don't know if you saw this survey survey USA Today survey.
And it was about and here's how it went. Do you know where you
pick up the most germs? We'll have the answer right after this
commercial. And your options were gas pump handle ATMs, the
button that change that, that doesn't change the light when
you want to cross it. Interesting that didn't have
your keyboard but the crosswalk buttons and all of this other
stuff. Did you see this pop up anywhere? Did you see this?
Yeah. All right. So and on CNN, I'm looking at it. And right
underneath me so so number one place the dirtiest place is 71%
of gas pump handles. 68% of corner mailbox handles are
highly contaminated with germs most associated with a high risk
of
illness. And right right below it.
And this is what killed me. I saw who did this the survey. Do
you know who did the survey?
I'm guessing some company that sells and does sanitizing powder
or something.
Kimberly Clark, yeah, they are Kimberly Clark, makers of all
things wipes, wipes Kleenex,
wipes company wipes term is that there's all kinds of germs to
kill. Yeah, I mean, this
was a huge commercial in email, and I'm thinking it was here,
USA Today even stead. The survey from Kimberly Clark
professional. A subsidiary of the tissue maker that focuses on
workplace wellness was designed with help from environmental
microbiologist Charles Gerba, a professor at the University of
Arizona. This shows you this shows you how commercial
everything really is. And it was just a commercial. I was blown
away.
Yeah, well, you we've talked about this before. We shouldn't
be doing this more often. We haven't done it at all. But we
should do this. You know, we can get some professors and some of
the people to kind of, you know, put their names on these things.
And we can do surveys and there's a lot of survey software
out there and a survey companies that would volunteer for us, I'm
sure
No. Natalie's no one's gonna volunteer for us. You kidding
me?
I know. I think we can get that. I don't think so. We're
exchanged for some promotion. Okay.
So how about this? Um, we know we have a lot of educators out
there. Maybe one of the educators who has a professor
title, who will step up and say yes, I will underwrite a study
that is entirely designed to prove that people who listen to
the no agenda podcast have better sex.
Don't you think? And a the
sexologist Yes.
Just any PhD,
even a woman that you're tight with ever
do with Bobby Eaton? Yeah. Yeah, Bobby will confirm. Well, I can
I can guarantee you that you
get her to do who's got the sexiest voice out there that we
can get to say some I love her. But it ain't Bobby. There are
women, which is ridiculous for me. Every once in a while you
run into one that says like, there's a PR woman occasionally.
She and I always I think guys always must get a kick out of
it. You get the phone at the end of the phone and this woman is
just got this voice and it's like, holy crap. What I always
think is, man oh man voice over work. Yeah, you know, this,
like, what a voice?
I might know someone. But yeah, we need it. We need a PhD to
step forward. And and you know, and we can say University of
South blah, can step forward and basically say it you know, it
has been proven that people who listen to the no agenda podcast
and people listen to no agenda podcast, have better to have a
better sex life. And it is scientific proof that when you
donate to the show, your penis grows. Something like that would
be great.
I don't think the news media's gonna pick that up. What do you
mean? Is this something that actually would be good news?
We're
okay, genius.
Come on. Anything if I had some I'd be doing it as we speak.
Hey, I've only a critic. I'm just a critic. I'm not an
engineer. Kay,
I figure something out for your critic. You have been harping on
this for weeks, and I think I don't have the full answer yet.
But I have a theory about the President saying this
and they should stop playing politics and act on them. Now.
These jobs proposals are also paid for by asking folks who are
making more than a million dollars a year to contribute A
little more in taxes. These are the same folks who have seen
their incomes go up. That's
it. I'm glad you fell for it, folks. This is code and I think
I've figured it out.
Now Good. I'm glad somebody did. This is
code. And he's sending messages to folk nation. Full folk
nation, also known as folks, is an alliance of street gangs
based in the Chicago area, which has since spread throughout the
United Nations, specifically in the Midwest and the South. And
they are the It Gets Better. They are the rivals to the
people nation known as people. So when the President is talking
about folks, he is sending code, it's like his version of
throwing gang signs. And I was not able to yet find a specific
message that would really work for the folks. But I really
think that there is something you think
here's what you let me summarize. So what you think is
that Obama keeps saying, Folks, because he's still he's a, he's
a gangster, who is sending coded messages to his homies correct,
too, for them to do something. So what we have to do is take
that and deconstruct construct, yes, using cryptography, we had
to figure out what the message is. Okay, so
let's prove it. All right, so so this is why I bring it up. Now
listen to what he this is from his presidential YouTube
address. Let's deconstruct the mess the gang sign he's throwing
to his homies back in Chicago,
and they should stop playing politics and act on them. Now.
These jobs proposals are also paid for by asking folks who are
making more than a million dollars a year.
Okay. So he's saying, yo, drug dealers making more than a
million dollars a year? Do you think that could be it
about extorting people that are making
Alright, listen to the second folks
to contribute a little more in taxes. These are the same
code for this the the VIG the protection, so he wants them to
give up the ante on the protection bracket. In Chicago.
These
are the same folks who have seen their incomes go up so much.
Hey,
you're benefiting from the whole drug trade. I've opened up with
the with Mexico. Hey, well, you're benefiting. Let's get
some protection. What do you think?
I'm liking it?
I you know, people are gonna call me crazy for this.
Well, they call you crazy. Anyway. So what differs is a
mayor you go. I will now I'm going to start rethinking this
whole thing with that in mind and see if we can deconstruct
the when he says, folks, that would be the key word for the
message.
Stay on. Stay on. I'm telling you. We know he says it too
much. Yes, he does. And it's always folks, folks, folks,
folks, folks, folks, I
bet you there's something to look, which is the other thing
he does a lot of look,
I don't think there's a look gang. Oh,
look, gang, but it might be some a generalized message for the
police or something like that. Boy, he speaks a lot. He's gives
a lot of speeches this guy. In fact, I got one I got the Obama
on Halloween speech, which, which kind of see if you can
find the subtext of this little clip that says Obama will not be
running for reelection. This is one of our little things. The
subtext in
this is Obama on Halloween. Yeah. Okay. Wait, wait, stop,
stop, stop.
Let me give it a setup. He did. He just got off the Halloween
gig that they do at the White House, not on Halloween,
apparently. And he's speaking to the Italian American community
just to say hello.
But now that Malia and Sasha are with their friends, they do not
notice that I'm gone. They're now getting to that age, they
don't care. They're pleased that I didn't embarrass them too
much. During the brief time I was with them. So I'm honored to
be here to celebrate National Italian American Heritage Month.
This is a whole the whole thing is a metaphor. The whole thing,
they didn't notice that I was gone. The short time I was with
them.
The brief time I was with him I thought was the key phrase,
which is that he's not spending enough time with the kids right.
Time to quit. Hmm, interesting.
Yeah, get it in.
Yeah. People still look at me funny when I bring this up and
say he's going to quit. I will say people go. Are you Hi,
are you Hi. Hi.
By the way, I was little I was a little disturbed until I
followed up on it. Right after our show on Thursday, where
we're NATO had announced that they were going to stay in
Libya. The United Nations came out and said that we're ending
it. We're ending it October 31. We're ending it. It's all over.
We're ending it we're ending it. It's all done. And I was like,
oh, man, I can't believe this. We just said that we're just
joking about them not ending it. But luckily, I delved into the
information. So you would agree with me that the the mainstream
media has said, war is over? We're done. NATO was out of
Libya, right? Yeah. Wrong.
United Nation. Oh, they
said it's done. So it's done? No. Yeah. They said
it's done. But that's not true. United Nations Security
Resolution 2016. On Libya, you know, I love reading this stuff.
What this does, it says they are recalling a number of the
majors. But they aren't is not like the whole the show from
resolution 1970 1973. But they are not recalling the whole
thing. In fact, the only thing here it is that they are
recalling its intention, its intention to keep the measures
imposed by paragraph six to 12 of resolution 1973 under
continuous review, and to lift as appropriate, and when
circumstances permit these measures and to terminate
authority is given to member states in paragraph four of
revenue resolution 1973, in consultation with the Libyan
authorities, so they didn't recall anything. And if
everything is in place, except for an exemption, a waiver, if
you will, that is given to three oil companies. It is total bull
crap. All of this is in the show notes at 352 dot n a show
notes.com. complete ly resolution 2016. On Libya only
says the day will recall. And this is by the way, it's mainly
about the the financial freezing of assets. That's what paragraph
six to 12 are, if they feel like it if circumstances permit. And
if they agree in consultation with the Libyan authorities, who
are the self imposed you bronies who were educated in
Pennsylvania. So it's total bull crap. Nothing has been lifted.
The whole place is still under complete. Security around a
complete security blanket. And then we learned that they were
2300 British Army officers and personnel in Libya. On the
ground.
Oh, yeah, really? Yeah. 20 people we got there.
Yeah, who knows? Who knows? This whole thing is just like, what a
lie. Big Lie and the media just goes, Hey, Ministry of Truth.
Shut up. It's all true. It's all over. And we just
just blew me away. blew me early.
Yeah. Well, you weren't really shocked, though. Where are you
now? Yeah,
no, I Well, no, yes. And no, but still, I'm like, really? You
know, it's that hard. I'm a disc jockey. All I have to do. I read
one paragraph of this thing. I'm like, oh, it's not true. They're
just lying to us. You got to know Trump buddy. Bothers and
nobody cares. We got a note from our boys at Occupy Wall Street,
Los Angeles. Yeah. They said, I hope they send in SWAT teams,
this whole thing is bogus. The voice of the people is dead. No
one is standing in front of City Hall voicing their opinion. It's
the Woodstock of Occupy LA. In fact, the biggest event they had
was a wedding. They had an Occupy la wedding on the on the
steps of City Hall. He says it's just homeless people in college
kids camping, there's nothing. It's complete. It's complete.
There's not even co opted. There's nothing happening.
They're doing weddings. The whole thing is completely
falling apart. No one gives a crap. He said he hopes and he
was he slept there. He he hopes that they the SWAT teams come
in. Ah. How crazy is that?
Yeah, well, it's yeah, this is the problem that we face.
Good analysis on the who did this this was really actually
quite good about the Obama. The bailout, which we called for did
we ever put this in the Red Book? I think we did. That the
next big bailout would be the student loans.
Isn't that we've talked about it, but we've never put a damn
we should have put you know, we thought and we talked about it
constantly, which is that Obama is going to use it as a carrot
to get students to vote for him if he runs again, even though we
still are dubious about that.
So the way it works, and there's a pretty good deconstruction of
this on what is this the political pulse.com So the
average a high end school is $55,700 a year Hello If. So when
you get if you have a full on loan for four years plus a 50
year to go hang out and kick some tires, you come out with
something like $223,000 of debt plus $9,000, for your 50 years
kicking around the way this is supposed to work. And if you do
the numbers, this is what's so great about it, it just doesn't
add up. What Obama is promising, by the way, it's nothing more
than a promise because he just doing it under Executive Order
and not, you know, not going to Congress or anything. And by the
way, there is there are federal loan programs. It's not just all
commercial, but the way they want to set it up is you will
not be required to pay any more than 10% of your discretionary
income. So that's after you've paid rent after you've paid for
food. I think it's those two. So if you pay if you're making
$60,000 a year, which is about $45,000, after taxes, if you buy
a house or your food, so you got your discretionary stuff, you'll
never be paying more than, like 400 bucks a month. So if you
have a quarter million dollar loan in 20 years, that's only
$65,000. So at the end of the day, who's going to pay for the
real, the real loan, it's going to be taxpayer money?
Yeah, they're not going to do that. They're going to stick
these people in the nice slave situation where they're going to
be the interest would be going up and they're gonna have they
still have these gotchas where if you miss a payment, you're
it's like a credit card. You go from your 3% to 8%, you missed
another payment, you go to 30%. Next thing, you know, they got
some guy with a baseball bat coming over the house to break
some kneecaps. This is ridiculous. This is a this is a
slavery abomination.
It's slavery, saying stay with me. Now slavery is abomination.
Here's Ron Paul on the issue.
But would you admit
that there are people who need federal help? Be it an education
or be it in a housing or food stamps? I mean, that kind of
food stamps?
Yeah, there's always some needs, the market isn't perfect, but
instead of having, you know, a trillion dollars worth of debt
and a medical care system that's totally broke down, you would
always have some needs. But that had that was in existence before
1965. But there was nobody out in the streets without medical
care. Nobody out in the streets that were there more people
under the bridges now than there were back then. And also there
were loans of people do loans, even if they have difficulty,
you know, sometimes it takes people six years to go through
college. And sometimes it takes people for years. But some but
back then there were jobs available. The whole thing was
the cost was so much lower. So yes, it will not be perfect. But
what we have now is catastrophic mistake where people have a
pseudo education and no jobs and old debt. I mean, we've
indentured them, and like slaves,
pseudo education and slavery. This is great works. Yeah, it's
perfect, by the way, a repeat of the 2008 elections. I guess
because Ron Paul, who of course, is completely Bing. Now now
they've just gone to complete just ignore the guy 100% Even
though he won yet another poll, like he just keeps on winning
polls. They're pulling out the old hit job on him, which is
that he's a racist. And Wolf Blitzer. I guess in like 1992
Someone put out a newsletter and said, like the Ron Paul
newsletter, and there's all this racist crap in it. And that
which of course, it's stuff that has never come out of his mouth.
And Wolf Blitzer. I guess he got the memos like hey, now we got
to knock this guy down a peg. This this Ron Paul guy is
irritating, because he keeps winning even though we give him
no coverage. And by the way, young kids don't watch CNN,
okay. They don't watch as old people look at the commercials,
hearing aids, free wheelchairs, you know, penis head.
When you want you to show and they cut to a free wheelchair
commercial. You gotta rethink your priorities about what
you're watching.
Believe me, I do this a lot. Like why am I who cares? It's
old people. No, of course old people have a vote and I don't
want to be ageist. But yeah, the kids are not watching this. This
is a this is two minutes but it's well worth it because Ron
Paul gets in Wolf Blitzer's face and smacks him and just and
says, Hey, screw you because so I don't have the Blitzer. But he
like, you know, it's the they showed that they just pulled the
tapes out of the closet. Like oh, you racist you know, it's
like, you know, black people are bad you know, they only want to
kill white people, you know, some horrible thing. And and
he's confronting Ron Paul with and Ron Paul. gets pissed,
or let's talk about it. What How could this happen? Because I've
gone through some of these old Ron Paul newsletters, and it's
got your name bannard on the top. And some of these comments,
as we just heard from Brian's piece are pretty Shocking.
Shocking. Yeah, it is. And of course, it's been rehashed a
long time is coming up now for political reasons. But everybody
knows in my district that I didn't write them. And I don't
speak like that. And I, nobody has heard me ever say anything
like that. And I've been reelected time and time again.
So everybody knows that I don't participate in that type of
language. But the point is, is when you bring this question up,
you're really saying you're a racist, or are you a racist? And
the answer is no, I'm not a racist. Matter of fact, Rosa
Parks is one of my heroes, Martin Luther King is a hero,
because they practice the libertarian principle of civil
disobedience, non violence, libertarians are incapable of
being a racist, because racism is a collectivist idea. You see
people in groups, as a civil libertarian, like myself, see,
everybody has important individual, it's not the color
of their skin that is important, as Martin Luther King said, what
is important is the character of the individual. You know, what
is really interesting, though, and this might be behind this,
because I as a Republican candidate, probably I'm getting
the most number of black votes and black supporters, and Niall
that has to be undermined. And I do this because I attack true
wars that blacks are suffering from won the war overseas. In
all wars, minorities suffer the most. So they join me in this
position I have against the war in Iraq. And what about the war
on drugs, what other candidate will stand up is frightened the
candidate say I would pardon all blacks, all whites, everybody
who are convicted for nonviolent drug acts and drug crimes, who
and this is where the real discrimination is, let me finish
let me finish you get my message back because you put the other
message out. Now, when I when the if you want to look for
discrimination within the judicial system, 14% of the
inner city, blacks commit drug crime, 67% of blacks are in
prison. That's discrimination. That's the judicial crowd code
and I am attacking and that is not racism. What I defend is the
principle of libertarianism where we never see people who
belong to a group and every individual is defended and
protected because they're important and individual, not
because of their color skin, but of their character. So I am the
anti racist because I am the only candidate, Republican or
Democrat who would protect the minority against these vicious
drug laws.
Fail wolf fail
douchebag give Wolf Blitzer a douchebag. Hell
yes. You want to hear his comeback.
Congressman.
crap that wasn't in the script. I was supposed to, like surprise
him with the shocking documents.
I'm voting for Ron Paul.
What a stooge that Blitz? Oh,
he's such an a hole.
I mean, how did what kind of meeting do they have in the
back? What are we going to do? I got this look what I found.
This is this is the race card that we know is being pulled by
the Obama administration. This is part of it. This is this is
what it's come down to. We have a black man in the White House.
And he was not he specifically, but I believe we're gonna have
more racist crap going on than ever is not instigated by them.
is crazy.
Holy moly, freaking out. Holy moly, holy moly, I just
want to remind people that we do have an end of show clip with
Representative shavitz grilling Neapolitan on a very humorous
way even though she she comes out and I want to mention
something that happens at the end where she says, Well, you
know, went to the attorney general. And then the adelboden,
fast and furious, and then it went to the independent counsel.
And the fact of the matter is,
oh,
the fact that sorry, that's actually up one from last week
as you were doing so. Well. The point is, is the
I don't I don't think that call, I think you can substitute the
fact of the matter to for the point. Okay. Here's just say,
she had months and months before this hat before her excuses is
invalid is the only thing I want to say.
So before we go, I have a question for you. No,
I'm gonna be no, go ahead.
I had dinner with the memory. Mickey hooked up with the with
the she got some friends and we we kind of like hung out the
extremely successful entertainment lawyer in Los
Angeles, who have the box at the Lakers games. Okay, and so we
had dinner with them. And yeah, we see them like once every six
months or whatever it is. It's kind of like we're going to
Austin screw y'all. And this guy, I didn't actually know he's
67. So he's older than you and I. But he is from the baby
boomer generation and you're kind of on the cusp there. And
it turns out he has an FBI profile. He went down to
Mississippi, he was on the forefront of that, you know, he
got his head bashed in. And what was kind of interesting as he
said it because uh you know, of course a little crack pottery
came up. I didn't know the guy was like a complete like crazy
radical back in the day. And he says and Olson that came out
right. It just started gushing because he felt like he could
let his guard down. Like he wasn't with a bunch of, you
know, hoity toity a holes that he usually hangs out with. Yeah.
But he said, it doesn't make any difference. We're screwed. This
country is screwed. The world is screwed. And he's given up and I
just wonder is given Yeah, he's saying it doesn't make any
of the show at least. Well, I
did me too busy reviewing cases. I don't know. And I was like, Do
you think that this is? No, and he agrees by that with what you
said is that, you know, the baby boomers failed. And he said, we
had the chance we had we had the absolute chance to get it all
done. We failed. Forget about it. This country. He says Europe
is dead gone over, kaput. He said this country, we give
people the illusion of the American dream. But they're all
going to get screwed. They're all going to die. And all I care
about is myself and my family. Screw y'all. And I was
wondering, do you feel that this may be as a general consensus
among the baby boomers that the baby that they've all said, you
know, what? Screw it that my kids can?
There's a lot of that. I don't think it's a general consensus.
I think there's still some optimists out there. I mean,
it's just like the broad range of I mean, he was an extremist.
It sounds like Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Major, that that
was credible. be disappointed. Yeah. I think a lot of the baby
boomers were the most left wing of them became Neo cons. I mean,
involved. The Neo cons are essentially communists. I mean,
literally, right? Back in the day, and you know, so they've
had this like, they've scattered, they've gone in all
kinds of different directions. And I don't think it's, his
attitude is necessarily his negative attitude, I might add,
isn't necessarily a consensus attitude. I think it's I think
there's a lot of people like that. I think that's it is a big
problem.
You know, what he did say? He said, the good news about this,
and this occupies that the kids are gonna get laid, and they'll
have great music. And then I said, Oh, and by the way, good
luck and hookers. He said, Oh, yeah, that two
good looking hookers. Yeah,
we agreed on all of that.
Okay. Well, I said that I still had belief for the fight. Oh,
yeah. Hope. Yeah. And I said, Hey, you should donate like a
million to the show. And he looked at me and goes. Anyway,
we certainly appreciate your help if you could consider going
to divorce act.org/na, keeping the show on the air. And I'm
just, I am I, here's my hope. I'm hopeful that people were
holding back for the 11 1111 weeks that we got coming up here
with 11 111 and 11 1111. And devora.org/na is the place where
you can go to find out as long along with channels org.com/na
And no agenda nation.com. And no agenda producer update is coming
up. Hopefully they'll be talking about the Linux port project
that I have, but we'll see what they're talking about. That'll
be on the live stream. And we'll be back on Thursday coming to
you from the hilltop Watchtower crackpot command center. Well,
I'm just waiting for the euro quick. I'm Adam curry.
And from Northern Silicon Valley, where the I got no punch
line for today's show. I'm John C. Dvorak. And
we'll have that end of show clip first with Lucinda Politano.
We'll be back on Thursday right here with no agenda.
I don't believe I've ever spoken with Eric Holder about Fast and
Furious.
How many? How many agents since you've taken office? How many of
your agents had been killed in line of duty? Oh, too many? Do
you know that? Do you have any number?
Well, I would I would have to double check. But I would say at
least 12.
How many guns from Fast and Furious operation were detected
crossing the border. I do not know how many guns from faster
for years were seized at the border.
I do not know.
Why is it that an operation that big and that important? And that
much in the news, you don't have the details. So
well, representative, as you know, it was an ATF operation.
In 2009, we know of two instances where ice ceased
investigating at the request of the ATF there any other
instances where you were asked your doctor Harmon, your agency
was asked not to pursue cases that potentially had a conflict
with Fast and Furious.
In the wake of your investigation of Fast and
Furious, I've been made aware of those two ice instances. I don't
think I've been made aware of any others.
Let me go to testimony that you had last week. Last week you
were a Senator Grassley, you were asked about communication
with Mr. Burke regarding Operation Fast and Furious
question for Senator Grassley. Have you had some
communications, your response, and I'll read it very quickly,
no, not about Fast and Furious. When agent Terry was killed. It
was December 14, I went to Arizona a few days thereafter to
meet with FBI agents and assistant US attorneys who were
actually going to look for the shooters at the time, nobody had
done forensics on the guns, and Fast and Furious was not
mentioned. You went on to say, but I wanted to be sure that
those responsible for his death are brought to justice and that
every DOJ resource was brought to bear on the topic. So I did
have conversations, and it would have been December of oh nine, I
think you meant December of Oh 10 about the murder of agent
Terry. But at the point in time, nobody knew about Fast and
Furious. So that's a different question. And yet we have
documents that show and this is a quote, an urgent firearms
trace requested by ATF agents on the scene to determine that
these firearms came from Fast and Furious. Why is it the you
as a secretary of homeland security with one of your agents
dead on the scene did not get briefed about Fast and Furious?
I do not know, how is that acceptable? Do you think that
they withheld that information from you? Or is it your
responsibility to actually find that information?
Well, I think the focus representative Chafetz is we had
a dead agent and a dead agent killed in a very rugged area of
Arizona. And the number one thing that was on my mind when I
went out there was to make sure that the appropriate resources
were being dedicated to that investigation.
But you have guns from facet fears that are found on the
scene. you testify here just last week, that there was no
knowledge of Fast and Furious at the time that the forensic you
went out of your way to sit the forensics weren't done. And
yeah, that's not true. That's not true.
I'm not going to comment on that. I don't know the document
to which you refer what I can say. And what I think is fairly
clear from the context is I was speaking to my knowledge at the
time and I did not know about Fast and Furious.
Did you direct or was there any direction, freeware department
and agency to allow the guns to go across the border that were
involved in fast and furious,
Fast and Furious was an ATF operation.
So you if the agents detected weapons going south across the
border, you just let them go because it was an ATF operation.
As the two incidents you refer to the two ice incidents, I
think reveal is when they ran gun picked up guns and ran them
or asked ATF to E trace them. ATF came back and said these are
part of a larger operation stand down after the second incident
in which that occurred. That matter was taken by the ASX to
the Assistant US Attorney which is common that happens in the
field. And he Assistant US Attorney said that the ATF
operation would take precedence.
So was it the Department of Homeland Security's policy to
allow guns to go south into Mexico? If they were involved in
fast and furious? I'm looking for a yes or no? No? How is it
that you can make a claim that the border is now more secure
than ever. And yet, the Obama administration purposely allows
more than nearly 2000 guns to be released knowing that they're
gonna go to Mexico with hundreds of people killed by those
weapons to dead us agents. And yet, you don't even know if
we've detected even one of those guns. In fact, on January 14,
you did detect somebody in New Mexico, there were eight guns
found they didn't even run a trace on them. And you let those
guns go into Mexico. I find that absolutely stunning. And for you
to have to dead agents and have never had a conversation with
Eric Holder about fast and furious about this earth is
totally unacceptable. totally unacceptable. Your time has
expired. The gentleman Chairman,
I know representative Chafetz. Has his opinion on this matter
as as the tone of his question reveals but I simply would
suggest that no one takes the deaths of agents more serious ly
and also that one of the reasons that we have not directly dealt
with the Attorney General on this Is he very quickly and
appropriately put this matter in the hands of the Inspector
General. Thank you. The gentleman from Arkansas, Mr.
Clifford.
I'm very excited here because I am about to meet get a producer
of the no agenda show Gavin How are you in the morning to the
matter? I'm very well in the morning to you too. It's the
first time I've had a public in the morning with someone I
haven't met before and I look I didn't always expect to find no
agenda fan. And as a skeptical event.
Well I'm a born again skeptic My former federal agent for the
Australian Federal Police
act, of course, I mean, look all the SIS admins in the, you know,
the dark ops people listen to the no agenda show.
I'm definitely dark ops. I specialize in surveillance good.
And I'm waiting for my drone. I want my
drone. Do you know if we've got new drones operating in
Australia? Or we can't afford him yet? I
can't tell you. Because I don't know
why you're here at skeptic camp. Today. You're doing a bit of a
dark ops for ASIO here today, are you here on your own?
I'm here to try and pick up a few tips on the cryptography
which we just we just listened to drop a few business cards.
And by the way, I got a business card and it's got the no agenda
show logo on the you're propagating the formula?
Yes, I like to propagate the formula as much as I can hit him
in the mouth.
Until they How did you discover the no agenda show?
I was listening to twit as you know, this week in technology.
Sorry, I heard John C. Dvorak mentioned it. And I've been
listening since the early teens.
Same here. I heard it on twit I thought, Oh, I'll give it a go.
I hadn't heard of Aaron. I hadn't heard of Adam curry. And
it's quite a combination. It certainly doesn't make the
standard of evidence at most skeptics would feel the show
needs to meet. But in some ways, that's not important. It's the
ideas that are out there.
Absolutely correct. And I like to break down the memes. And
listen, watch. And while that's what I've been doing, since I
was a young fellow in the army, I joined the Army and went to an
armored reconnaissance unit. And I only believe what I can see,
which is why I'm here at skeptic camp
because a lot of skeptics get angry but when I suggest that
they have listened to no agenda because they find the show long
they they find it trivial and they find it frankly crackpot
and I don't mind you in some crackpot,
you've got it. You've got to balance your crackpot and your
Buzzkill. So, with those two is just the dog's bollocks it
really is.
What's your favorite the show? I'm a fan of the second half of
the show. I always love I love the bits where you know, we talk
about the opening of the Stargate all the fish coming
out. I'm just interested in being exposed to ideas that
might be considered crackpot. I love it.
I do too. I like to temper my my logical side with a little bit
of fun and crack pottery because sometimes
you know if you get too too intense and skeptical you can
sort of disappear up your own beards got you.
Indeed you can do you can in the morning to you in the morning to
your manager. org
