Zuk Zuk Zuk Adam curry, John C. Dvorak.
It's Thursday, September 20 2012. Time to get my nation
media assassination episode 445.
This is no agenda,
struggling with Skype, but on the air and on the west from
Obama's backyard, Chicago, Illinois in the morning,
everybody. I'm Adam curry,
from Northern Silicon Valley where I'm just staying put while
reading the New York Times. I'm John C. Dvorak. Levin Buzzkill.
Oh, it
sounds so crappy today.
They say you sound tinny on the stream.
Yeah. Well, maybe it's because I'm talking out of my butt.
Well, so what's new?
Well, you know, this is not the you know, me try this. This is
not the lovely setup that I had on the road. This is no of
course not. That was like, like most of this is in a
suitcase usage where all your normal rig actually was on the
road. Yeah, no,
this is the internet in a suitcase. So basically, I run
everything on one single machine. Because I you know, the
other one, I had multiple monitors it had what else did it
have? You know, it had like, the whole the whole big thing. The
whole shebang? Yeah, it had no, it wouldn't fit in three
suitcases. So. So this is, you know, and also when I talk, I
hear a little delay, so I hear my my voice a millisecond later
than it comes out of my piehole.
That's not that's got to be annoying.
But I've done a little bit of the filtering here, so it should
work anyway, in the morning to your John C. Dvorak.
In the morning. Do Adam curry in the morning to all ships at sea
boots on the ground subs in the water feet in the air? And all
the nights out there who patiently wait. Yeah, hell
yeah. And words of wisdom. Yes. And thank you, all of the human
resources in the chat room had no agenda stream.com no agenda
chat.net who have been helping us troubleshoot for the past
half hour to get to get everything sounding kind of
decent. Right now we're running. I'm in the I mean hotel here,
kind of in the near Chicago Avenue. And State Street. In
your downtown. Yeah. And of course, you know, the hotel. Why
rent the car? No, no, no, no, we're just No, we're just we're
walking. I did a speech yesterday. I'm here for the CUSP
conference.
They said hey, Adams on he's streaming right now.
Oh, they streamed it. Yeah. Oh, really? Oh, I didn't realize
I came in as a tweet. But I missed it. Oh, I didn't realize
I went to that when I went to the to the stream. I thought it
was some people doing ice dancing.
No, no, they were jump roping. Ice dance. Jump roping? That's
right. You missed me. That was right after I was done. Oh,
that's too bad.
Oh, jump roping. Music sucked.
Let me let me No, no, no. Let me tell you about this conference.
Now. You remember Chuck and Dana, who we stayed with on the
last on the on the first Hot Pockets tour? When? Yes, I felt
right. Yes, you don't exactly. Well, Chuck had actually had a
real harp and we had the real heart playing in the maybe
you'll remember? No, like a classical heart. Anyway, so they
were really sweet. And we stay with them for a few days. And
Chuck works for this company symbolic or SM balik, which is a
design company. And apparently they've been putting on this
conference for the past five years. And it's literally like a
TED. But without the stigma and the and the bullshit elitism.
And just like Ted, but without the stigma and the bullshit
elitism to there's no
such thing like Ted.
Exactly. And, and they literally say no, no, and the three
partners of this firm, they get up on stage and say, Well, hey,
buddy, you know, the people we've invited to here to inspire
you. We have no idea what they're going to say they're
probably going to offend somebody at some point. And
that's all going to fucking suck. Literally. That's how they
talk. And then and then but it's it's done at the Museum of
Contemporary Art. It's really high tech. They got a great AV
setup, beautiful theater, and the and the presenters were just
outstanding. And just I we were blown away. Mickey was supposed
to go shopping at Topshop and she stayed in her seat for six
hours yesterday. Just watching everything to let you learn.
I learned
Oh, man. Well, let me I learned three things. No, no, listen,
one. The guy before me the speaker before me was Wendell
Potter. And you don't see you on Monday. I'm gonna ask you. He
wrote the book deadly spin, which I read somewhere in 2010 I
think and that was the book that led me he's the former I helped
Cigna Health Care guy who turned around and wrote the book and
said, Hey, everyone's like just screwing you in this health care
business. Remember this guy? Yeah. So he was the one that
inspired me to go look at all of the PowerPoint presentations of
the pharmaceutical companies when we discovered that vaccines
was going to be their next big push. So then he was speaking
before me. So it was like a total perfect setup for me to
talk about no agenda, because he was like, hey, you know, I was
lying to you and the healthcare slide. And the health care guys
are in the sickness business. It's the sickness industry. I
was fantastic. The guy is really cool. But even funnier than
that. You remember the Indian comedians at the State
Department spent like $180,000 on to send them around a tour of
India. Yeah, yeah, these guys were here. One of them was
speaking. You stand
up. Yeah. Yes. Stand up.
And, and the guy and we what's worse is the guy's like, Hey,
Adam. Yo, I'm a big fan. I'm like, oh, shoot, man. And I
absolutely rag on these guys felt really bad.
Maybe knew that you rag down. And so he said
that just to get your goat and I didn't. They had no idea. I had
no idea. I did tell him I came clean and said, hey, you know,
we really rag on that whole scam you guys pulled off? So yeah,
that was pretty cool. All right. And who else was here? I mean,
it's very interesting. So I definitely learned some some
cool things. At the at the conference. I guess it's online
that maybe there's a video of it, you can see it. But I
definitely talked about our podcast, John didn't just take
all the prompts myself, like you usually expect me to do.
So I have to tell you something because you're gonna you're
gonna it's going to begin to annoy me. I don't know how
you're working them back. But you have a lipsmack at the end
of occasional sentences you so you say something real? And then
you hear? Ya know, I believe it's it's the mic, or the way
you're working the mic. It's because I've never heard this
before. It's my lips. But you keep saying something.
No, no, that's just what you're hearing. That's definitely not
me. I'm
the Bob's ringing the bell when I hear it, then you can decide
for yourself. No, that wasn't it.
I'm I don't think I'm lipsmacking. Did you hear it
there? No, no. Okay. So um, anyway, so of course, the pain
in the ass of doing this is that, you know, I'm here on the
show day. And I'm, and I'm in the hotel, and it's going to be
this way for the next couple of weeks. Because after this Well,
I think Sunday is a normal, a normal show from Camp MoPhO.
Then it's Miss Mickey's turn. She's got her. Her, you know,
her big art shows. We're gonna go to Los Angeles first. That'll
be next week, Thursday and Sunday.
That'll be a thrill.
Well, yeah. Well, I mean, what doing the shows there? Or are
doing though going there? Yeah, well, hey, while
you're at do while you're down there, you should go check in at
the studios.
I'm going to check in the studios. I'm also going to try
and get on the Joe Rogan show. That's what I've been wanting to
get on the Joe Rogan show. We both need to do that now. And
then after that, I'm going to go, we're going to DC for her
second show. And then finally, somewhere after that, you know,
like, first week, end of the first week of October, we're
back so it's going to be a little a little weird. And it's
just just makes it weird. I'm gonna see if I can fix what's
going on with the with the lip smacking.
But hasn't happened again. Maybe it was. I don't know.
We know what it is. We're just so spoiled. Because we used to
have crappy connections all the time back in the day. And yeah,
and it's still kind of amazing what's actually taking place and
we would not want to miss an episode to bring you the best
podcast in the universe. That's why we are proudly here.
Bringing you episode four
we go out of our way. I mean, we have missed shows on we took two
days off once in five years. But generally speaking, we managed
to get these shows produced when we're floating around the world.
Yep. And the worst case scenario because we run some island
that was really the absolute worst Yeah, when I was on
Bonaire that's what that would have to be Yeah, that's been
bad. This is a second close though. I mean, it's not far off
from being pretty bad. Anyway
you got the lipsmack Yep. Yeah,
I don't know what it it may be I'm lipsmacking
maybe there's a new Abbott I think it's eight strawberries or
was so much
it's the house all I've gotten two offers for hell doll.
Do not take it
What are you my dad now I can't decide if I want to take that so
once before Well, I can't Well, Daddy, I want to try hell doll.
It sounds so fun. I won't take it on the show. I just want to
try it. Let's take it out of the show that we'll get some
people tuning in.
Hey, I just be what is it the drooling zombie? Oh Well hey,
get out anyway.
Anyway, we closed on a couple of things from the Red Book.
Oh, yes. What did we do? How did we do? Oh,
I got two clips. Okay One of them is what you call this one
you call Bill
Lucas Stan Baluchistan or Bill Lucas.
You know what's going on there now? Well, Baluchistan rundown
and we'll catch up to Baluchistan.
It is no longer a war for autonomy or self determination.
This is a now a war of independence, whether the
international community recognize it or not. This is
what the Baluch people are fighting, and the Pakistan army.
So far, it has said they have made 15,000 People disappear.
Nationalist leaders say us supplied resources and weapons
meant to combat al Qaeda linked Taliban on the Pakistan
Afghanistan border, are being used against the billers,
Pakistan is, is using all the resources that the American
government is giving Pakistan to fight the Islamic extremists and
terrorists. But those resources and the monies are being spent
against the British people. And as the British National moment
and against the Baluch freedom fighter,
yes, it makes so much sense because these people who are in
the northwestern part of Pakistan are clearly dangerous
to America. This is, this is why we have to kill them disappear
them 15,000 of them.
It's a good number Jesus.
So this, of course, for those of you who did not hear the
analysis of this, the initial red book entry, is because of
the pipeline that the Turkmenistan Afghanistan,
Pakistan India pipeline, also known as T API, which is
literally going through this region, and the freedom
fighters, as they're called, who are being disappeared. They just
don't want no part of it. And they're either they're blowing
the pipeline up, or they're standing in the way or they're
parking their camels there. I don't know what's going on. But
the people were being disappeared because of this. And
it's purely because of the pipeline.
Now, another another show we discussed when when the Libyan
theme first broke out, we our initial analysis was that if he
had decided to to get tight with the trainers, right, and that
meant the refinery and meant all these other things in there.
They had had the stop and we don't care if the if the Muslim
Brotherhood takes over Libya, which they might or will one of
these or works with these Chinese not and so I they ran
this little tidbit which got bias, which is the clip was
Libya, Libya clip.
I don't see Olivia clip.
French the markets at the bottom but the main Cape Spain, Spain
in a or no agenda, because no agenda became is China in Libya.
All of this instability has a crippling impact on Benghazi,
his ambition to rebuild this sprawling New Town for 200,000
people was abandoned last year by its Chinese developers, they
and other foreign investors have yet to return.
Okay, so they show this this is like one of those ghost cities
in China, they were building, it was huge. And it they show the
whole thing and it's kind of like as just essentially
framework ultimate framework gets gutted, because they never
got halfway through the project. But it was a whole town that
Chinese were building just like they had been doing throughout
Africa. And I guess I think that's another part of the you
know, another one of the another nail in the coffin for the
Chinese and Libyan that's why they let this thing blow up. But
it was it's huge. It was a huge 200 That was the beginning of
2000 design 1000 People
you know what's, you know, what's really cool is that the
minute you start to get into some interesting news,
particularly about China, Skype just decides to make you sound
like you're in China.
Trying to cause your, your sound deteriorated to Yeah. What are
we doing that's back?
Oh, really? Well, you're not great. So how do we how do we
tie this into what's happening with the Chinese and Tokyo I
wouldn't play this report to you because there's there's these
islands what's going on, and these fake protests are very
interesting. And here's the report that really throws some
fuel on the fire shows that
11 Chinese government ships are assembled in waters around the
island. smaller vessels have also been seen anchored
offshore. Now this follows the latest in a series of anti Japan
demonstrations within China. Our correspondent Marcin patient
sent us this update from Beijing.
The protesters have been chanting things like declare war
in Japan as well as fly I'm in Tokyo. But despite all the anger
is actually pretty orderly here. There's a heavy police presence.
Flattened Tokyo. Am I supposed to believe that literally
walking around calling flattened Tokyo in China in Beijing?
Yeah. No, I understand that part of this is depending on what
report you listen to, because I was I've been watching both the
Chinese news and the Japanese news of Japanese very distressed
by this, by the way. But they're both reporting on of course,
calling the islands different things. And one of the things
that struck me is that the Chinese, they don't mention this
in most of these English Reports says there's like some
anniversary of the rape of Nan King. Uh huh. And this is still
an issue because the Japanese have refused to apologize for
what they did to the Chinese during that era of pre World War
Two. And I think that this that element is at play.
But is this just a prelude to an attack a prelude to war? I mean,
it seems like an offer
to an apology, I guarantee if at that point in the book that the
Japanese are going to be forced to apologize for those Nanking
situations. I honestly believe that's what's really behind
this. Then they'll start negotiating over about the
rights to this big oil field, which is actually what this is
all about. So when did
this Nan King thing happen?
What do you know, the Rape of Nanking, this has happened in
the 30s?
Oh, yeah, I remember. Well, I mean,
this is a major part of history with China, the Japanese took
over to China. And then they just basically killed people,
and raped all women. And they were just the most brutal regime
in the history of China and the Chinese are still pissed off
about it. And the Japanese have refused to apologize.
We've talked about this I can now I'm recalling we've talked
about this before, on the show years ago, and it was from some
other thing that happened. And I think it would related directly
to this as well.
Chinese have a long memory.
And they want an apology. And the China Japanese are so full
of pride. They won't give it well, why don't they just come
out and say it? Hey, apologize,
cause because they don't think it's cool. I don't know. Doesn't
make sense to me, either. But the Japanese refused to
apologize, because then they would admit they were wrong.
Right. And they don't want to do that. I have no idea. There's no
real explanation that says that's valid. The Japanese have
changed their textbooks, their history textbooks, and they
don't have much about this. And and they don't then, you know,
they kind of like the blame. You know, it's like they're not
their fault. It's just really does. It's depressing, actually.
Right.
Right. But it's still it comes down to the oil and gas fields
that surround these islands. Right. But
But I would say that that no negotiations will begin. And
this is going to continue until the end. I think I really do
think that relate, I think the reason for all the protests,
because there's other ways of dealing with this problem.
Besides protesting and shutting down all the Japanese
businesses. The sushi shop was rated, busted busted up to place
in downtown Beijing. There's a little Japan town, their place
all closed down. They're running out of the country left, right
turning the deputy as you're closing things in China. It's
just it's spiraling out of control.
So I met
I met a guy yesterday who came up to me and he said, Hey, Adam,
you, you and John, you've been looking at the helium shortage.
And he told me why.
Why were he told you were looking at it. Now.
He told he told me why there's a helium shortage. Okay. So and he
said he actually paid a firm money to research this. His
company is Pioneer balloon. He, he sells helium balloons. Daniel
Flynn, and he's the chief operating officer. And he says
the reason why is to we had two plants go offline. You know,
helium, of course is is. You trap helium when you're getting
natural gas out of the ground. Right? He says the number one
reason is we're just not pumping gas out anywhere really, even
though there's a lot of talk and a lot of talk about fracking and
really big talk. He says eight is too expensive to get the gas
out of the ground and until the price goes above three, he's I
think he said $3.20 per mega BTC.
Whatever the price right now, natural gas, too. So in the
tank, yeah, we take a look.
And what's even more interesting. He said that the
Russia guy said, Well, how about Gazprom? These guys got tons of
gas. He says the Russians have lots of helium, but they're
they're not exporting it. So what are they doing? Just
sucking on it and talking in high voices all day? What are
they going to do with helium? He says, I don't know. But they're
not exporting. And therefore there's a huge shortage in the
entire world. But he says it's the direct result of the price
of gas being too low to actually get it out of the ground.
So he says it needs to be 325. Now the price of gas 2320 He
said, right now it's 278 80. So he says that it's always wet and
Spanish has been depressed. It's never been down to 75 It's
really been low for a long time.
And so what he's saying is that they all this talk about natural
gas, they're not even really pumping it out of the ground at
this price. They're just not doing it. That's what that's
what I thought was really interesting. And therefore we
have no helium.
Okay, that makes nothing but sense to me. Yeah. It's all
bogus, to their stories that everything is bullcrap.
Yeah. Gee. There's a newsflash bullshit. Newsflash, everything
is bullcrap. John. But you know, it is kind of interesting how
all these commercials for America's natural gas and, and,
I mean, they've got to figure out some way to Jack that price
up. And I don't know how they're going to do it. I think they've
tried just about everything and can't come up with a reasonable
way to do it.
No, they have expended T Boone Pickens has been out there the
tub thumping, trying to get people to you know, you liquefy
it do anything you can and they just, it's just been Yeah,
natural gas is really cheap.
So how so? What is it like we can probably put a prediction in
the book if we just think hard enough about how they're going
to do this? How? How, what would I mean, you have to either
increase demand or decrease supply. Isn't that the two main
ways you do it?
Yeah, well, they've tried both. The price of oil they figure
well, When oil gets about 80 bucks, though, people started
switching over to natural gas and they never have to weird and
the big plants you know, we go out once a kid you know, we put
the clamps on coal we can't use coal anymore. So they switch
over to natural gas and it still doesn't move the price when the
price moves it's gonna move but then it may be five bucks yeah,
it'll move real bitching about the price of natural gas and
you're going to be everything works. But it's been forever I
mean, it's um it's actually stuns the traders on Wall Street
or the traders about price of natural gas being so low that
staying there.
Well, you think those guys will be able to do something would be
able to jack it up? That's what they do.
I know but they can't do it is like know how much of the day
how much power they really have. Let's $720 a share.
Let's thank our producers John while I can still actually hear
you know, my falling apart. Oh, it's it's really bad. It's just
really, really back in a second. It's not gonna make any
difference. It's not going to make any difference. It's just
nice. Like, ever since Microsoft took over Skype, they've just
started to suck balls.
Okay, well, we do have a couple of Associate Executive executive
producers and one executive producer for today's show for
four or five Eric Wilker in Rushville, Indiana, which was

And that's all we got for our Doug's producer for today's show
for four or five on our mind, people that can help us out by
going no agendas in the nation, divorce, org slash in a and
champion of life.com/and As an alternative, and help us
continue on our pursuit of the truth. Yes, or whatever
entertainment value. And just think about this, what you spend
to go to one of these lousy movies or the time you waste on
television, which is, you know, 20 minutes of commercials 40
minutes of programming, and we give you what, two and a half
hours five hours a week at times four is like 20 hours a month.
Plus
Yeah, we're gonna have to subtract today's show though
because you're only getting half the program you're only hearing
my part and not John So for.org/and A and of course you
can always do something extremely important which is I
don't know propagate the formula formula
is this. We go out we hit people in the mouth
everybody come on saying Les Brown Now shut up sleeve.
Everything's a mess, John, the whole thing is a mess. I'm going
to call you back because you've determined to deteriorated so
much. I'm almost thinking you might want to reboot your router
or something. I don't know what
this is for GE ladies and gentlemen, for GE we've done for
GE before and it worked fine. Now this is for GE in Chicago.
Could you
do you think it's worth rebooting your router? Or
is that just I can do it is that doesn't hurt. Yeah. Why don't
you takes about two minutes. Yeah,
you just do that? Because let's at least try it. It's just I
mean, I'm sitting here just sweating and getting angry.
Yeah. Okay. Hope y'all understand. And all right, I'm
back. Okay. Ellen's good for now.
I have a long, right please. I have a long clip.
That I only because I think it needs discussing. Okay, banking
issues that need discussing we've talked about what's going
on in Europe. And by the way, it looks like Well, that's some
other issues but it's, I don't know, this guy had this clip and
I'm trying to clip pieces from and I said I don't know maybe we
should just play this clip and then discuss it because maybe
you know more about it than I do. But it seems to be that the
these both of these things that the EU is going to do they
haven't done half of them and they're going to do or they're
not going to do one.
Alright, let's let's take a listen.
The proposed region wide banking system.
deep divisions over the Eurozone is proposed banking union
dominated the meeting of EU finance ministers in Cyprus,
which wrapped up on Saturday, Brussels wanted the first step
of that union to be the European Central Bank becoming the
supervisor of all the blocks roughly 6000 banks for the
agreement to work all 17 Eurozone countries must sign off
on a single binding blueprint, which non Euro EU countries can
join if they wish. But Germany and Sweden rejected the idea of
the ECB being the supervisor, and Berlin wants only a few 100
big banks to be handled by the scheme, while Sweden's minister
said his country would never accept an external supervisor.
Even the ECB hinted that a basic legal framework might be a
better idea than taking direct charge of all the blocks banks.
Crucially, the legal authority over all the banks is necessary
because then we will have the authority at any moment to call
into a closer supervision. Any bank or group of banks that we
see fit to call to the center
and desperate for growth the private sector watched on
believing the ECB is time would be better spent on other
projects anyway, the ECB should
now target the banks and forced them to start lending to
businesses. It
was announced that the European Stability Mechanism the new
bailout fund would have its first board meeting next month.
But many economists believe it will take a lot more time before
the fund will be operational and ready to recapitalize troubled
banks.
It's not easy to implement, Rick?
Well, this is pretty much I think what we talked about when
haiku Herman essentially placed the proposal on the table
saying, Okay, you have to pull all your sovereignty, we're
going to get the regulator in. I mean, it's just another stepping
stone towards the complete takeover of the European Union
of Europe, essentially, by the pharmaceutical companies, the
oil companies, all based upon patents and genetically modified
crap to just keep these people completely enslaved. 500 million
people, it's nothing new to me.
Well, here's what gets me even though obviously, my voice is
good. Why is Germany against this idea? I thought this whole
scheme the whole EU scheme was to Germany the power over
everyone as a kind of the Fourth Reich.
I don't that may be just Well, that's okay. Here's here's the
way I see it. Germany likes me they liked the the controlling
of the slaves. But they don't like anyone having anything to
say over their banking system over the German bank. I think
that's where the rub is. And so you know, it may just be a
smokescreen, John, I don't know. I, the way I see it the way this
European Union has been built up since What is it 1956 or 1957?
When they first started it, it's all been about the same thing.
It's been about the patents on pharmaceuticals, make sure no
one eats any healthy food get out, get them all the GMO
remember, that was never going to happen in Europe. Now. It's
all over the place. Keep the oil and
the way that transition from never going to happen to
everyone's got it now is amazing,
isn't it? Isn't it though? So it's just more of the same. And
it's another stepping stone. And I know I talked to people in
Europe and they don't they're not even I don't know if if if
they're just completely oblivious to it don't care if
they're too wrapped up in their local national politics. They
really don't see the big picture. It's It's astounding to
me how they do not see the big picture of what is really taking
place right before their very eyes.
Well, we're having the same problem in this country. We're
not seeing it either. I do have one more clip, which will,
because you brought it up the GMO this is what you can expect
in Europe and in the years they had the agricultural update on
super weeds.
For every action there's a reaction and it is true in the
world of pharmaceuticals as well. An increase in genetically
modified crops in the United States has led to a rise in so
called super weeds. These pesky plants are resistant to many
herbicides, forcing farmers to use up to 20 times the
recommended dose of weed killer. Matt McGrath reports.
The rise of resistant weeds on Jeremy leeches farm near
Humboldt, Nebraska has threatened both his livelihood
and his family. Last year he spent around seven and a half
$1,000 on chemical sprays that failed to protect his crops. And
the pungent pollen from the super weeds seriously affected
his eight year old daughter's asthma
on estrus pollinating when the pollen is really thick in the
air and makes it hard for her to breathe outside when you live on
a farm. Kids play outside all time.
One of the weeds causing the biggest problems for farmers
across the United States is giant ragweed, and I'm in the
field of it now. And you can see these plants tower over my head.
They're six to seven feet tall. The scientists here at the
University of Nebraska have been trying to kill these weeds using
extra doses of chemical spray. These particular weeds were able
to survive 24 times the recommended dose and the
scientists can kill them or chemicals. In three to five
years these weeds would take over this entire cornfield The
Weed resistance has been caused by the huge success of GM in the
US, which has encouraged farmers to use only one chemical. Now
the biotech industry believes the solution to the weed problem
lies in adding another herbicide that until now was too
destructive to crops to 14.
This time lapse shows the gradual killing of a common weed
after spraying with two four D weed killer
Dow AgroSciences has designed to corn that can resist to 40 Best
known for being part of the mix that constituted Agent Orange.
Shoot. So yeah,
so this uh, women, let me just understand this in order to
combat the super weed.
That is a these weed. These weeds are seven feet high.
They are we're going to spray them with Agent Orange is this
understand from the report? This is so awesome. This is just
great. You know what John? Just said, I'm just going to
interrupt us one more time. And I'm going to try and switch to
the hotel network. See if we have any luck with that. Because
it it you know, it's just not worth it. Okay. All right. So
let me just try that. So the stream will probably be
interrupted temporarily. Let's see what happens and how we do
any all kinds of crazy things could happen here. Let's see.
Okay, we're switching networks.
Hello, hello.
Yeah, maybe better? I don't know. We'll see. All right.
We'll just try this for a little while. Um, okay. Man, this is
going to be an edit job for sure.
I'm sorry to hear that. I know how much you hate that. Yes, I
do. So um, but you know, this has not gone unnoticed. In our,
in our house of representatives in the United States of America.
Dennis Kucinich actually stood up in front of the house, and he
gave a little speech about Monsanto. Did you happen to
catch this?
No, no, but I'm sure I will. Now one minute.
Thank you. In 1992, the Food and Drug Administration decided that
genetically modified organisms were the functional equivalent
of conventional foods. They arrived at this decision without
testing GMOs for allergenicity, toxicity, antibiotic resistance,
and functional characteristics. As a result, hundreds of
millions of acres of GMO crops were planted in America without
the knowledge or consent of the American people, no safety
testing no long term health studies. The FDA has received
over a million comments from citizens demanding labeling of
GMOs. 90% of Americans agree. So why no labeling. I'll give you
one reason, the influence and the corruption of the political
process by Monsanto. Monsanto has been a prime mover in GMO
technology, a multimillion dollar GMO lobby here and a
major political contributor, there is a chance that
Monsanto's grip will be broken in California, where a GMO
labeling initiative is on the ballot. And here in Congress, my
legislation, HR 3553, will provide for a national labeling
bill. Americans have a right to know if their food is
genetically engineered. It's time for labeling. It's time for
people to know how their food is being produced.
I'd say it's pretty good. They got him out of Congress, don't
you?
Oh, yeah. I'm glad they arrested him. Good work, boys. Yeah, get
rid of that guy. And by the way, when he when he gets out when
he's in the street, beat him up,
throw him in the mud or do something like that. This is
unbelievable. It's great. I mean, it's great that he's that
he's introducing a bill which will go nowhere. And he's just
laying it out there. I mean, this is what they should be
showing on the news instead of Kate Middleton's boobs. And they
never do show her boobs. So what's the point?
Wow. Yeah, that speaking of Europe, that pretty much proved
to me that, you know, Europe is is just a totalitarian state.
How in the world can you forbid a news or any type of
publication from taking pictures of someone out in public on a
boat and publicizing them? I mean, of course, if you're a
royal it's, you know, it's not done but if you're any other
person, then you know, screw you. And yet this has now been
forbidden. I find it amazing that people put up with this.
They've not only put up with it, they are in agreement. And
that's even worse. Here's a couple of clips from Kate Willie
McKay. I thought were funny. First of all, this played clip
to first because there's the irony clip, but then I have a
point to make
a On the gifting clip, is that the one you want? Yes, yeah,
sure, right that
far away from the courtroom of non tear the royal couple we're
concentrating on their continuing tour of the Solomon
Islands. I saw this conductors were each presented with a gift
from a group of topless ceremonial dances. In light of
recent events, perhaps an awkward moment.
Oh, it's somewhat awkward you know that they walk I saw the
video they walk right by like don't look at the movies. Don't
look at the movies. Don't look at the movies, but yet this is
okay. The elites can go look at the black people's boobies but
let's not look at your white ones.
So here's the thing here's what the two clips I want to play one
is the William the other guy William and Kate. It has a
little Stinger at the end which I thought was interesting
because it's like wait a minute we don't have we even we are
free press the United States Free Press don't don't would
never say what they're going to say in this clip
of yet no name. The Royals don't know the identity of the
photographer that intruded on their privacy the magazine is
unlikely to tell them and the court went forced him to do so
in France the protection of sources is taken very seriously
the protection of sources a
protector taken seriously in France. And so then I'm thinking
well that's that's nice for the French Of course, you know this
is gonna differentiate be part of them civil war, or when it
finally happens to value their freedom and that French don't
listen to our show because they know everything's crap anyway,
because they see Yeah, well this is not news to them. So French
cartoons cause stir this is the thing that's going to be
interesting over the next week hasn't been played much in the
US. But this is like the French how they deal with this. This
Muslim fiasco. Over the movie,
a French satirical magazine published cartoons today that
risk igniting new outrage in the Muslim world. They featured
vulgar images of the Prophet Muhammad and satirize the
violent reaction to an American made film that insults Islam.
Muslim leaders in France called the cartoons disgraceful
provocation, but the magazine's publishing director insisted
it's about free speech. No man is actually pulling your nose
romiley sake sacred for the Muslims. And I can understand
that. But for Muslims only. I am atheist. Well, how many is not
sacred for me? I understand perfectly that the Muslims don't
violate the law of blasphemy. And I don't blame Muslims for
not laughing at our drawings, but they shouldn't tell me under
which law I should live. I live under French law and I don't
live under Quranic law.
Yeah, this is interesting. A because I've not been able to
actually find any of these. Any of these cartoons, drawings,
pictures, illustrations, etc. And it seems like even the BBC
couldn't find any of these. Let's see, I had. Let me see.
Have you seen anything? Have you seen any of the No,
I haven't. But I just assume they've been censored. I think
if you went to Google dot F R.
I don't know. Here's your route. Well, here's a report that was
on the BBC regarding and
it may not be on the internet. I mean, not everything that they
do. And France just about
everything makes it on one way or the other. Well listen to
this for a second. Well, I've been talking about this in blogs
before we came on here, first of all with Agnes Poirier, French
political commentator, and film critic. She was on the line from
Paris, and Oussama Hassan, senior researcher at a
counterterrorism Think Tank Quilliam. I began by asking
Agnes Poirier whether she'd seen the cartoons.
Well, I have seen some of the cartoons because from you know,
this morning, very early this morning, it was impossible to
get a copy of Charlie Hebdo went to 10 different news agents in
Paris. She's in Paris and just couldn't find it. So I had to do
with what some friends sent me. So I haven't got the full
pictures.
So she hasn't got the full picture yet. She has an opinion.
What's your response to what you've seen? No. Okay.
It's a question of taste, I guess, and sense of humor and
sensitivity. Personally, I you know, I'm not a regular reader
of Charlie Hebdo. Charlie Hebdo is in the trade of provocation,
also of thought provoking cartoons. It's a news weekly it
must be said I think it's important important covering the
week's news in cartoons. And it's got a very irreverent tone.
That's its trademark now, you know, you will always find
people finding offensive I have in the past.
And I'm I'm asking what you what your impression was? Did you
find it to be witty, biting satire, was it? If so, let me
just remind you, this is on the BBC found she says, I have not
seen it. I could not get the magazine. Some people have sent
me some stuff. I've seen partial pictures yet here. She has a
complete opinion.
He's well wait a minute, hold on a second. She's she's very
clearly not saying that. She she's very clear about what she
hasn't has not said this guy is goading her, and then she has an
answer. Opinion. It works but he's, he's hounding her this
British guy.
She's the correspondent. She's being paid to give him a report.
Well, I
know but at the same time she just gave us she said, Look, I
haven't seen that. And then she gave a background on the
publication what she's supposed to do.
Well, here's you're supposed to lie. Here it comes
some funny I found some others not funny at all, some vulgar
some offensive and some boring. She's just following the script.
She didn't see anything.
Well, that is the BBC script. Of course. Now there you go, of
course is the big no, she is fine. This helped me but this is
the BBC script, the French are different. And you know, with
all the action over the Danish cartoons, you think these things
would be picked up and spread all over the place, but they
know is not going to have any effect on the French.
Well, I think the what we really need to realize if you look at
the news, at least here in Gitmo nation, United States proper, is
that there are no more protests. Everything is overall as well.
We are not interested in talking about the Innocence of Muslims
Muslim video, because we now have the Mitt Romney video. So
we're completely done. This is all as well. We're not like even
looking at at Egypt or Libya or, or any of the 30 places we were
looking at four days ago. It's just done. Have you noticed this
is just over? It's not
nothing more important that that Romney talking to a group of I
guess, contributors says, you know, 47% of Americans are
idiots that won't vote for me. And this is like breaks. This is
like, Oh, why is this like even talked about? What do you expect
him to say?
I think they had I think they had this ready. As a reading.
Already been known this was out this was out over at somebody
said three months ago in March is when he made this speech. And
it was apparently a Twitter sensation for a little while and
died. Yes, Enbridge has been revitalized for the purposes of
the election. And Amber was all upset about it. I can't get
upset about it. Or I was for or against Romney. I don't see what
the big deal is. What is the big deal? Explain it to me. Oh,
the big deal is just because news media, I've been told the
ones who are running the commercials who actually make
the money from from this entire tight race this campaign, you
know, this presidential race, they've been told to make a big
deal of it. And so that's what they just did, it doesn't
matter. It's like, if it's not Middleton's boobs, then it's
this. We just need to make a big deal out of something. And I
think it was well played. I mean, it's perfectly played.
Because, you know, we had this foreign policy argument. And now
not and this is what really got me about this. Not only is this
about you know, spinning this into Oh, Romney's uh, you know,
he doesn't give a crap about half of America. But listen to
stolen data. I think it was Soledad O'Brien. And here's how
she's taken this
starting point this morning, Mitt Romney calling President
Obama supporters those people
in inferring racial, those people inferring that I don't
know what that they're black.
I just remember him saying those people that way.
No, he didn't. That's the whole point. He is this is it's
unbelievable how this is being spun. It's being turned into a
complete racial thing, which is freaking me out.
Well, that bet you
this is in the red book we've talked about they've been trying
to turn this into a racial issue. Since the get go to to
bring gravy, you know, everything's red. They haven't
been able to pull off the race riots. Was they tried? Let me
see there was no, what's interested.
Hold on. I actually tweeted this. What's his name from?
Who's that guy? I think it's, isn't it? Yeah, from here. This
was in the The Daily Beast on a second and he actually says,
here's why Mitch. 100%. Wrong on the 47%. That's the whole
article. But then at the bottom, he literally takes it to a
racial point. So he you know, everyone's like dissecting what
is the 47%. And crap, I wish I had it right handy here. Here we
go. When you ask why to met white Americans to estimate the
black population of the United States, the answer averages out
at nearly 30% Ask them to estimate the Hispanic
population. And the answer averages 22%. So this is how
they come up with like, you know, approximately 50% So when
a politician or broadcaster talks about 47% independency.
The image that swims into many white voters minds is not their
mother in Florida. Her Social Security untaxed receiving
Medicare benefits, blah, blah, blah. It is basically black
people and Hispanic people. And for this to be written like
this. It's quite a stretch. I was like, wow, what
is it guy mind reader, apparently Evidence for this.
This is not evidence based reporting. This is just
bullcrap.
Yeah. But it's it's inciting race. And we predicted that's
what happened. And here it is.
Yeah. Well, they they're not getting as far as they'd like
to. And you're my favorite clip. This is the BBC, of course,
jumping on board and the way they prep they preface the whole
Romney deal. And this is essentially just a preface. It
just cracks me up because it be they take it to another extreme
play the BBC report on Romney.
Mitt Romney doesn't need headlines like this just 49 days
before America votes. His latest problem the left leaning
magazine, Mother Jones, has published a secret video of a
dinner with rich financial supporters with Republican
candidates suggests almost half of all Americans are scroungers,
who'd be bound to support Obama. scroungers grown Joe's.
Love American news, scroungers. That's
great. I love the Scrounger via Vive, that's cool. surround you,
scroungers. scrounges I tell you, scouting, drilling
scrounges Oh, wow. Wow, that's pretty good. That's pretty good.
Okay, yeah. Well,
Richard Branson was I mean, we're kind of done on the Romney
thing, right? I mean, it's, I mean, look, I don't see yes,
I hope so. Yeah, I I got nothing else to add that was it's
scroungers is my anyway. And by
the way, do you not get the idea that it's also possible that in
light of, you know, our general thinking that no one wants to
run the country for the next four years that maybe the
Republican Party, just put this video out? Just throw in the
towel? And just like, Alright, go ahead. You take it, we got
Jeb Bush waiting for 2016. Go ahead, run this sucker for the
next four years.
I this is what we've always said. Right. With you. I think
it's two years ago, we called this Yeah. And I think Obama's
side is pretty much at least a small part money over there
wants to do the same thing, but they can't quite back out as
easy, right? I mean, he's just gonna have to be caught with a
12 year old or something just before the election to lose.
So at this point, well, who Romney or Obama?
Romney was Romney is not even in the game anymore. He's done. I
mean, this is just the icing on the cake. He was already done.
But we'll
wait a min now. John, we still have what 45 days? I mean, this
is just from a, you know, the curry Devorah Consulting Group
from a pure production standpoint, from a story arc
standpoint, we cannot we will lose out on viewership. If we
don't have more controversy. In the next six weeks, we have to
have something. So this cannot end now. It is. You will, okay.
Here's
it. Okay. We know what's going to happen, because we've kind of
deconstructed it early on, and we have to assume the script is
going to stay put. That doesn't mean that the powers that be
that are actually some there are still people in the Republican
Party that would like Romney to win. And they're not necessarily
on board with this idea that he shouldn't win. And the same
thing happens on the on the bomb by side. I mean, let's face it,
the Hillary camp does not want Obama to win, because she's got
a week and her chances in 2016 So there you go. So there's this
this act activities taking place on both sides of the election,
pro and con on both sides of the yeah, there has to be there'll
be a lot of good stuff. In fact, some of it will be pretty,
pretty interesting.
We have to have something really really awesome though. We got to
have like a well
that's it's gonna have desperation time, so you have to
assume they're going to be throwing Hail Marys left and
right.
Yeah, yeah. Cool.
I'm looking forward to it. Cool. It's gonna be great. I love this
was weak, this was weak. And the fact that bill like solid dad
would get on it as some sort of important thing, or anybody for
that matter in the fox are all over. This is like diff trying
to defend the guy. This is weak, its weak, who cares?
But what I find funny is you see MSNBC, you literally see the
hosts with glee, you know, like it's Christmas. They're so happy
you know, and Al Sharpton this, this is so happy. They even
they, they must realize they can't be this happy for the next
five, six weeks. We've got to have more. Otherwise their show
is over. We're all going to be watching something else. So I'm
just waiting with bated breath anticipating the next grooviness
that will come along in this grant show.
Yeah, no, I agree. There will be some good stuff and it'll be all
the every show we do will have something cool in
it. Meanwhile, there is some some real information slipping
out. I think this was even on CNN.
Now let's move to Cairo where life is getting back to normal
after days of anti American protests. But it's getting back
to normal because we have a Romney video so no worries.
There's no protests here. Now it
turns out not all of those protesters were there. Because
of their anger with the US and that anti Muslim future video
many turns out we're being paid to protest. That news comes from
Egypt's Prime Minister paying people to protest is fairly
common in Egypt.
Oh, really? Gee, CNN. That's news. Barely common. Just so you
know, this is very, very, very common this. My goodness. You
told me something new there.
Yeah, exactly.
So I, let's see, I have a I have the clip of the week, by the
way, but I'm not going to play it. Yeah. Well,
all right. Well,
well, I do have the idiotic clip of that. If we want to change
subjects. I got a good segue. Clicker. All right, which is the
idiotic Clip of the Day.
Are you ready?
Yeah. What kind of message does that send to your child? I don't
want our kid to feel that to see him or get hurt like that. That
would just kill me. As a parent, you're supposed to protect your
child to tell them not to play in the street and don't do drugs
and wear thick shea butter moisturizer at night. Baby from
hate.
Wait a minute, shea butter moisturizer. who slipped that
in?
That's from the new normal. You want me to
please show my spoon by donating to
no agenda? Imagine all the people who could do that. Oh
yeah, that'd be fun. Normal
the new normal is a little low for us. I might add. Yeah,
I noticed that too.
James pen Jameson pen in Brambleton. Virginia, though
came in with $106 value for over a year. Why? Because around
episode 339 I got sick of the bowl crap and walked away from
my lucrative federal consulting gig. Oh, my family's barely
getting by. You should have stayed there. Yeah. And then
reported in my family's been barely getting by since while I
have waited tables hoping to find a job that isn't evil and
pays the mortgage mortgage. Finally I did. And you're
getting a cut dollar for every episode of my underemployment.
$106 106 episodes really? If you can't trains good planes bad see
something say something karma for my brother Gary, the board
trains good planes bad back. You see something?
You've got karma. All right, brother.
Gary. There you go. You nailed it. Did you have any of those
clips? Did you
know those are so old? Those are so old. I don't know where a
couple of times to ching ching when it's like it's a mystery.
Tertius
Karstens in South Africa. $100. Oh, here's the Yeah. Right. He
met me at the twit Brickhouse that if I were to switch
curiously, and then they didn't travel together, there were two
South Africans at the show, and one of them gave me 100
Instagram donation, which is atrocious. And the other one
gave me a bottle of an unusual wine from South Africa, which
I'm letting sit and settle in. So I'll probably drink in about
a week or two. You had wines when they travel? Yeah,
I actually saw that he gave you like a Rothschild from South
Africa. And you were like, wow, I didn't know they opened in
South I saw you I saw this whole conversation take place.
Okay, well, yeah, I was actually stunned because I didn't know
the rod or the Baron. This is the Roth to the left side of the
family. I had no idea that they had done a joint venture in
South Africa to make wine. And so I'm going to be very
interested as to how this comes out. I mean, these deals are all
over Chile, Argentina, Australia, South Africa.
Brigada. Suppose now, were these in the French also in
California, and they make all these deals and some of the ones
are good. Some of them are just like they tried too hard.
Anyway, I didn't know give us a good tell us what the real
pronunciation of this name is. If it was Dutch,
that would be fair to use Karstens care Dias, tear,
Stevens Karstens. And what does he want in here? He wants it and
she just put it into authentic I'm looking for a de douching
Chinese Japanese in the morning that an Afrikaans one from Adam
into Auckland lone wolf, my puppy no karma, please.
No climbing those ones a bunch of sound
you've been D duped into author and and lone wolf will do that
for $100 donation.
Anyways, so I was it was weird that there were two South
Africans there. And I guess you know, it's probably cheaper to
be here. I don't know why far as I know the Rand is not trading
at a good rate. Amy Pettigrew in Huntsville, Alabama $100 needed
a happy birthday. Shout out to my birthday karma for my
wonderful and birthday karma from my wonderful husband,
Michael on his 26th. He doesn't care much for guests but we all
know that a no agenda show donation is the gift that keeps
on giving. Also like a shut up slave karma from my brother Matt
as he serves his time in the reeducation camp known as
undergrad. Lastly, can I get some science coming from my lab?
May Kirby,
hey, wait a minute. Wow, how many things do we want here?
Well, she gets to one karma for everybody.
All right, and then a shadow slave and a science is that what
we're looking for?
I don't see the Science, Science Science karma. All right. Give
her a shot.
You've got karma.
She's probably getting the formula and she's, and she's
Amy. We need all the women viewers or listeners we can get
and especially in Huntsville, Alabama. That must be very
interesting to listen to the show there. Jesse Mansfield. I

motivated to keep doing this stuff from the craziest places
on earth. Which is what we do. So you've been rolling out lots
of Yeah, you've been rolling out lots of the clips today John, I
have a couple of my own that I think might be interesting to
run through. Let me see what I've got here. First of all,
something that's kind of gone a little bit it's been snowed
under by all the really important news of Kate's boobs
and and and Romney secret video is the the the Inspector General
of the Department of Justice in United States came back with
their report on Fast and Furious and you've barely seen any news
on this. As far as I know. I caught one. One report on CNN.
Well, it's the closest thing so far, I would say to a definitive
account of the investigation that everybody agrees was a
terrible idea allowing firearms to slip south of the border to
try to catch the cartels that were doing the gun running in
Mexico. The Justice Department's Inspector General said Operation
Fast and Furious involves a series of misguided strategies,
tactics, errors and judgment and management failures that
permeated ATF headquarters all the way to the Justice
Department and the near total disregard for public safety
congressional investigate aiders had suggested there'd been a
cover up in the Justice Department but the report said
federal officials actually ignored red flags, failed to ask
questions failed to send information up the chain of
command. The report referred 14 people for possible disciplinary
action, but it did not recommend anyone for criminal prosecution.
And almost within the hour that the report was released to have
the highest ranking individuals whose names came up in the
report. We're out.
I love this. By the way, this is such a great way to do it. It's
like if you're responsible for the death of hundreds of Mexican
citizens and at least one United States border patrol agent, just
resign or retire is no distance you're not going to get in any
trouble if you work in the guard to retire with full benefits.
Yeah, just retire and you're all good to go
or Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. director Kenneth
Milson announced his retirement and Jason Weinstein, who was the
Deputy Assistant Attorney General and the Criminal
Division turned in his resignation. It was accepted by
Attorney General Eric Holder
now listen to what holder did he listened to holder statement
holder also put out a
statement of his own will saying in part, unfortunate that some
were so quick to make baseless accusations before they possess
the facts about these operations, accusations that
turned out to be without foundation and have caused a
great deal. I know it's crazy, unnecessary harm execution. He
says he helps today's report acts as a reminder of the
dangers of adopting as fact unsubstantiated conclusion, so
he's
one guy retires one guy quits. And then Holder says nothing
happened here. Nothing was true.
Nothing to see here. Yeah, I
think we have that jingle somewhere. But I was just like,
wow, I mean, how do I how does he even come up with that?
What gall It's amazing,
isn't it?
Oh. Look over here. Nothing to see here. Look at that.
And so of course, you know, nothing I guess nothing else is
gonna happen. That's it is done. The report is in. And I don't
even see what they could do.
No one hold her still being held in contempt. And I can do crap
about that either. No, is this group is a worst. I was like a
joke.
I have to say that. The CBC up there and Canadia they're doing
a great job on reporting. Quick report here on the the 18 year
old kid who was charged with trying to set off a weapon of
mass destruction which we used to call a bomb. Now it's a
weapon of mass destruction.
Associative, I love
how the CBC reports on how stupid we are down here,
turning into the United States now where authorities have
charged an 18 year old from Chicago with attempting to use a
weapon of mass destruction. They say he wrote about Jihad and
killing Americans and that he planned to detonate a car bomb.
Neil McDonald joins us now from Washington with what we know
about the operation to nab the team. Neil.
What we know Wendy now is that this was all concocted by the
FBI. And it's not the first time this has happened. They find
someone on the internet in this case, this man Adele doed,
talking about being a jihadist they contacted with what they
call operational terrorists, that is to say FBI agents. They
provide him they they dream up a plot. They provide him with the
means to do it. They offered to to get them involved in
detonating a device, they even gave him a fake bomb. And then
when he went to detonate it, of course, they arrested him. As I
say this has happened before on several occasions. Interestingly
enough on the attacks, the real attacks, the underwear bomber,
for example, in Christmas Day, a few years ago and the Time
Square bomber, those were detected by alert citizens and
not the authorities. But the authorities remain vigilant. And
if you talk about doing it down here and you talk the talk, then
they'll walk your walk.
I'm impressed. I'm really impressed by this reporting.
That somebody in the world is just noting that literally,
literally just comes out and says FBI just makes it up and
they take some stoner kid and then
some idiot. Is this guy stupid enough to fall for this bill?
Yeah, I think he is. Well then let's do it. We got nothing else
to do. Wait. Let's go to lunch first. And then we'll do we'll
run it run the ski mom and this afternoon. Okay. Yeah, well,
this is a end of the job Divorce Act play.
Very good. Very good. John liked it very much. Now, I was talking
to one of our producers who I have to go we'll have to go
unnamed and he was telling me that now for every 100 FBI
agents, they have a lawyer and and the lawyers job is to is
basically to make sure that these operational terrorists as
you just heard them called. They're following all the right
rules to set these kids up and And this is really all that they
can do. They can't do any more regular investigating, because
there's too much paperwork. And apparently, you know, the bigger
the FBI gets the, that's the irony is that there's just more
bureaucracy. And so if they want to go and do any real investment
or real terror, yeah, if they want to go do some real
investigative work, there's too much paperwork. So it's easier
for them just just to find a guy and build the case around it.
And that's the irony of a bigger government is that the actual
criminals get to get away with stuff. Which is bad. No, it's
perverse for that.
Yeah. Well, welcome to the 21st century.
cup, a couple of memes that we've been tracking the you
know, we've been tracking this, this whole fact check thing and
everything is fact checked. And this is not just a meme in
America. It's going on around the world in your seat in Dutch
politics. And we have fact check fact check fact checker is a
fact is a fact the fact checking the facts. And Soledad, well, I
think as CNN should promote her, I think she's the only person on
CNN, who, whether she's right or wrong as irrelevant. She's
putting on an interesting show. And I was pretty much done with
CNN, but now she has this morning show. Have you seen the
show in the morning, which
I think gave saw when it first started? I haven't been watching
but I should mention solar dad's an interesting person. I
know. We both know her we know so but
she began at NBC. Actually MSNBC before it turned into what it is
today. NBC was kind of a variety at work. And then it became the
24/7 Princess Diana's
network member.
And then they kick you over, man, these guys came on board.
But solida was put on the fast track. She was an anchor host on
MSNBC early on, she was put on the fast track to become the
like to be head one of the head people on NBC network, along
with Brian Williams, who was also in that in that same track.
And somewhere along the line somebody didn't like or somebody
tested better, or she didn't. Because she was part of the
multi CultI look which broadcasters are just looking
for like nobody's business. Right? Which is a certain kind
of she Italian is she is she black? Mexican? I don't know.
I think I think I think she is black though, isn't she? No,
I don't think so. I sold it. Fine. I think she's Hispanic. I
think really? And that's the looked at Yeah,
it is the perfect look at is the look, I
totally agree. Natalie del Conte, who is now Natalie,
more name Morris.
She's got to prove she has an incredible. I mean, you have no
idea what I mean. She She said Source Self. She says she can go
anywhere in the world. And they think she's a local.
Yeah, well, well, you know, I would like to remind people,
that John was the one who scouted her. And I then
recruited her for me, VO, and she, and we taught her we taught
her how to how to talk. We taught her how to walk, we
taught her how to dress. And then she took all that and one
thing and then she screwed us and then quit. That's how that's
our
show business. In a nutshell.
That is exactly when we put all the effort in. And then she got
really popular. And then she screwed us basically just
stabbed us in the back and said, Hey, I got a bit of Greek over
here.
Exactly the way it's you have to assume that happens. That's what
that's what I always tell people. I said, Well, I'll give
you a little coaching on this. And then I expect you to stab me
in the back. Yeah. That's Welcome to the business anyway.
So let me get back to Soledad for a second. So she has this
the show in the morning. And she and she does something very
interesting. When she you can just wait for it to happen.
She's every single guest. She and it's so funny. These guests
fall for it every single time that she's going to set them up.
And then she'll whip out a paper and say, Well, I have the proof
right here. I've been reading the actual document, we just
kind of what we do. We read the legislation, we read the
documents and say, Well, this is not exactly what the document
says. So she has Peter King on and I think what a lot of these
politicians think oh, it's the breakfast show, you know,
they've got a round table. It's going to be it's going to be a
walk in the park. It's going to be really easy. And she has
Peter King on he's a I'm sure he's Republican. And he's a
he's a guy from New York who keeps having these hearings on
Muslims in the media right as the right right. You know, he
said he's a kind of foil all the Muslims
so she never do she is a total douche and she rolls out the
fact check thing on him regarding President Obama's
Middle Eastern Tour, where and this is very much Republican
talking point is that he went on his apology tour. And I of
course I went and read the speed the Trent the transcript of the
speech Each that President Obama gave in Egypt, and it is, it is
very much a mia culpa without saying it, but it's kind of
like, hey, you know, we could have done better and you know,
it's it's kind of I understand where the talking point is
coming from. But the way solo that brings us and Peter King's
reaction to it was just television history in my book,
you know, which I have this speech right here. So that was
right back. He never wants to use the word apology. He never
once said, I'm sorry. And
this, of course, is the travesty is you saying he doesn't use the
word I'm sorry. In the transcript? Well, as many ways
to say you're sorry, or apologize. But okay, so but he
keeps you hammering this out,
the logical any, any logical reading of that speech, or the
speech he gave in France, where he basically said that the
United States can be too aggressive talking to the
friends on April third, 2009.
Right. But but that's not an apology. So your people,
I can say, I do consider what you're doing. We're apologizing
for our decision, we have nothing to apologize to the
Muslim world at all. We have not sacrificed our ideals. He was
overseas criticizing American officials in the CIA and others
when he says that we've lost our ideals. These are the people who
kept us safe for eight, nine years against Islamic everyone
keeps talking about this apology tour and apologies from the
President. And I'm trying to find the words. I'm sorry, I
apologize in any of those speeches, which I have the text
of all those speeches in front of me, none of that.
So I think this is pretty funny. It's so childish, that it's
funny, I'm gonna get doesn't say I'm sorry. No apology in here.
And then she pulls out the final sward
those speeches. And if you go to factcheck.org, which we check in
Allah, they'll say the same thing. They fact check this and
they say this whole I
don't care what factors okay.
I don't care what little kids, I don't care. Okay, the backstory
on this, of course, is the Republican meme that began in
two in 2008, where they they say that Obama's constantly
apologizing for the United States policies. And what he
does is he doesn't he never says the course he doesn't say so.
I'm so sorry. No, he's what he does is he downplays some of the
policies and says, you know, we we could have done better. This
is not the way to damage it. There's a lot of ways to say, to
apologize. And you can interpret him in different ways, too. But
it seems that for some reason, it really gets the goat of some
of the Liberals out there and obviously so blood that is,
like, signed on Obama bought you think no doubt about it. Yeah.
Really. She is like, just irked by this whole thing because the
words that you how can you be making an apology when you never
say I'm sorry? I mean, it's not an apology and that she's she's
hung up on it. And she's got this douche bag in front of her
and he's just gonna argue with her it's who you watch this
Yeah. And but then the thing is the fact check this is all well
we check fact check that you know, pleat people when you say
the word
Chai we've gone to Snopes
exact Well, this is exactly what I'm saying. Is that the minute
you say factcheck.org or politifact.org? Then all of a
sudden in people's brains. I've watched this happen. People say,
Well, yeah, then it's got to be true. Because there's facts and
in fact, we should be called facts No agenda.com If we call
ourselves the facts, no agenda show people will believe us that
much more. There is something going on with this whole fact
check meme that has people Oh, well you know fact check
Chihuahua fact check. It was fact check.
Word in a shorter that about it. Oh, over a year ago. In fact,
buzzkill Jr pointed this out once and he says that was the
amongst the millennials, there was a kind of a linguist tick
usage where you'd say something to somebody. And then at the end
of the sentence, you'd say the word fact. Right. So you know,
yeah, I went to the ballgame. And the police beat up a person
fact. Well, this is very much and we I think we've discussed
this on the show before in Silicon Valley. This is without
fail. And I watched some of the disrupt conference, and Zuk Zuk.
I'm sorry, Zuck does this ZocDoc suck. And here's how it goes.
Well, you know, when we're doing a streaming, and of course, we
have a much greater share of the audience, right. And it's by
adding that word right at the end. And they all do it. Right.
And it's the question mark, and all I want is just for once for
someone to go. No, I don't think you're right. I don't see how
that's right. Or why do you think it's right? And that is
the same thing as saying fact is right. Right. Yeah. He's how
often have you heard them say this? It's it's annoying, right?
It's very annoying, right?
So no agenda fact. right.com. Maybe we need that. Right. Oh,
All right onto onto my favorite new meme. This is the green on
blue attacks, which now has a new name and we've got to track
this. This report name wasn't working now the old name wasn't
working. So we've now changed it to something else. Hi
there, Alex. It is a very disturbing trend and it's been
the deadliest year for insider attacks. 51. NATO coalition
members have died this year alone from these insider
attacks, that's up from 35 and all of 2011 and before that, in
2007 and 2008, there was a grand total of four coalition soldiers
who died from these insider attacks. This one today occurred
in Zabul Province in southern Afghanistan, and it seems from
local officials that they may have been duped by the police.
The police were at a security checkpoint. According to one
Afghan official, they said that they were under attack and
called for help from these American service members. When
they came some at least one turned his weapon on the
American servicemembers and killed four of them wounding at
least two others. According to the Taliban, of course, they're
taking the claim of responsibility for the attack.
They say it's to avenge this anti Islamic movie that has
caused outrage in the Muslim world, but they will always try
to claim responsibility for any NATO coalition deaths in the
country. We should also mention to other NATO service members
were killed yesterday and Helmand Province they were
British soldiers by the same kind of insider attack again.
Tell this woman drink less coffee forgot.
She was trying to rush a bit there. Wasn't she trying to get
everything into a report? Yeah, the insider attacks. Someone on
chat, saying I like it. I like it's the chat room here saying
green on blue attacks. Joyce Riley's line, will you ever give
credit? And what the hell does that mean? I don't know what
that is anyway. So it's not green on blue anymore. It's
insider attacks. And I'm not sure why it's been well, besides
the fact that, you know, green on blue wasn't catching on. But
insider attacks. I think it's going to be used for something
else. There's a reason for this is a reason and on CNN. They got
one of these insiders, and they interviewed him
he has a term green on blue. They use that when as opposed
ally, a friend of NATO forces, for some reason kills the troops
training him. You're about to see and hear the voice of a man
who says he killed Americans. He says he went on patrol with US
troops took his gun and shot
them. Don't they interview this guy? And they didn't turn them
over to authorities.
Really? Yeah, it's ridiculous. Yeah, you want
to hear the reports like 4040 seconds.
Even though it's probably bullcrap. And of course his bowl
grasped
him simply why he did it. Why did you do?
us in a Taliban controlled Village is a man who claims to
be responsible for a green on blue attack. With his face
covered to hide his identity. He pulls out his police uniform,
something he hasn't won since the attack on the second of
October 2009. On patrol with US forces in wider province in
central Afghanistan. This father of two says he waited for an
opportunity to launch his premeditated attack, Germany
must have done the Americans went inside the nearby school
for a break. He explains they took off their body armor and
put their weapons down. At that moment. I thought it was the
right time. So I took my gun and shot them.
So I don't I don't. First of all, I don't believe this. I've
been in Iraq, not Afghanistan, but you are not taking your body
armor off anywhere. And especially not if you're not
inside the camp. You're in
school lenient.
It's not very convenient. I'm trying to understand. I mean, I
think it's very obvious. People are like, you're in my country.
Get the eff out. You know, so I understand why this is
happening. And but it's weird is this got to be used for
something that keep amping it up. We've got a better slogan
now, insider attacks. So this is going to come to we're going to
know what this is about sooner than later. But right now, it's
a mystery. Why this continues to happen, why they allow it to
happen and why this reporting continues the way it has.
It's in the Red Book. Yeah, good. I got a couple of things a
little different. In fact, I have a well actually we have
actually get some really discrepant clips here, but let's
get to one. Here's a little lighter play. This one will be
interesting to you play Yosemite one.
Oh, let me guess it's about my favorite camp
Yosemite has become an international treasure with
nearly 4 million visitors annually. 20% of them
international tourists we thought like bear but no mice,
but this summer, mice pose the greatest risk after an outbreak
of rare rodent borne disease Hantavirus left three people
dead, five sickened at nearly 29,000 others at risk of
exposure according to the National Park Service or harbor
perfect To them God. This is believed to be the site of most
of the infections, Curry Village and its cluster of 504. Tent
cabins and Yosemite is lower valley.
Hey, wait a minute I thought it was rats and not mice? No, no,
it's my since mice okay, because they've now the village carry
village and it used to be in my family until some boneheads sold
it for some trinkets
was actually
not anymore. It wasn't. Apparently nobody gives a crap
date is mostly national tours and they had these Germans and
all these people. And I just thought this was kind of
interesting. You sent me
a clip two warnings prominently posted throughout the park. Park
traffic and tourism remains robust. Did you know that there
was a virus here before you came to Yosemite? Yes. We've heard
quite a bit in the news and everything was bad. But these
German tourists here celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary
are undeterred. They say they live through the European swine
flu epidemic and they'll certainly live through this you
have to
be careful Yes, you have to wash your hands but I think you do it
anyway.
Just do not like the mice that this very simple. If you like
the mice you can get the virus is that good. So this to me and
we've we've been over this there's multiple factions at
work here.
One NHK Japan, by the way, thank you who make
the sparkplugs the so the there's warring factions here,
one on one side, we have the greens, and they want all
tourism out all of it just all together. And I have been to of
course I've been to camp curry many times. I've had family
reunions there. I've been to Yosemite in that entire area.
And I feel that the as particularly for the the access
roads they have. The tourism is out of control. You've got that,
that that upscale hotel What is it the Walla Walla wa Kawana
awanee that I want the hotel rooms $1,000 A night? There's a
beautiful place. It's yeah, but it's filled with douchebags,
John, it's a douchebag hotel. It's like it's like a W Hotel in
National Park. I can't afford to get everybody talking about it.
So but you've got that this is this is the whole point. You've
got the douchebags there. They're always full, it's 1000
bucks a night. And then you have camp curry where you've got the
log cabins for 30 bucks. So you know, it's very obvious that we
also have you know, this playing out, it's like, you know, we
gotta get, we got to put a hotel there, we got rid of the log
cabins get rid of the camping ground. So I think it's these
two factions. It's the it's the Greens who want everybody out.
And it's the douchebags who want to have more high class luxury
crap, because they they're just full. They need more more rooms,
essentially. Yeah, that's what I think and what's the best way?
I think the theory is as valid as anything. Yeah. I mean, it
sounds right to me that keep propagating. In fact, it claim
it was the douchebag versions of the tents in the village and
have the two walls where the mice were hiding out between the
walls.
It's the upscale douchebag version of upscale tents, which
I think is $40 a night,
whatever. So a couple of things. Now, here's why I want you to
China. Tell me what's going on here. McCain goes in front of a
bunch of people in New Hampshire and he brings with him some
dipshit senator, Miele senator from New Hampshire. And they go
after the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Oh, really, in a in a big way.
Play the McCain goes after Mullen clip.
But most importantly, as soon as he left, he leaked to the media
that that's what he's done. What message do the Iranians get?
When our senior military leader says that he was in Israel not
to tell Israel that we're with them, that we will draw red
lines together that if the Iranians crossed those we will
do whatever is necessary, but tebbit comes back and says,
Well, I tried to convince the Israelis not to attack Iran.
What message do the Iranians get from that? I think it's pretty
obvious. I've been very disappointed in our uniformed
leadership. And it's, it's very unfortunate, because in other
ways, they've gotten themselves involved in areas that they
shouldn't as well once said,
Yeah, you know, so I understand what he's talking about. What's
your question specifically about this?
What is he trying to accomplish? Oh, well, he just wanted to bomb
Iran because he made a joke about some time ago.
Well, you know, his bris is scheduled for this weekend. So
he needs to, he needs to keep the pro Israel talk going. The
guy is paid by by some influential Israeli lobby only
does this talk about this the whole time, play the
second question get the bigger picture.
I would just add to what John said about the Chairman of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff. He actually came in for the budget
committee that after the first time Senate Budget Committee,
the first time he did that he did this issue with Iran twice.
And I gave him a really hard time on the end before our
committee about it. And I said, Why did you do that? Why did you
publicly basically say what the conversations you were having
with one of our closest allies that actually would empower
Iran, and he kind of backed off, but then he did it again
recently. So I have to say that when I see that the Chairman of
the Joint Chiefs of Staff Reports to the President of the
United States, so when he does that, he's not doing that
unilaterally. This is obviously the policy of the
administration. And that's what's most disappointing. Our
allies need to know that we are with them, and that we can have
those conversations, very honest conversations and direct that
aren't going to be late. So we're not empowering our enemies
like Iran. And that's I think, unfortunately, we've seen a
repeated pattern of that.
So we don't know who the woman is, because because she's very
irritating. I'd like to
just look up the Senate, the senators, US senators from New
Hampshire, and she's the one female one.
Well, so it's very obvious this is the ongoing war was when
we declared war on Iran. I mean, Iran. I mean, it's like they're
our enemy, our enemy, enemy enemy.
I mean, what what? Yes, yes, they declare, yes, of course. We
have this McCain. Romney. Yes, of course. You listen to this
douchebag Netanyahu,
have they attacked us? I mean, give me the reasons for this.
Listen, well, I was trying to get a background. I know I
understand what you're trying to
get me. If they haven't attacked us have they attacked us.
They've declared war on declared war on us. They're
Brown and they live in the sand. This is enough third war on us.
This is enough that they brown live in the sand and then
control oil is enough to bomb them. And our T is jumping on
this bandwagon. And listen very carefully, because this is what
Netanyahu says as well, about how far Iran is from a nuclear
weapon
versus when a 25 countries taking part in a 12 day exercise
in the Strait of Hormuz in the largest WarGames ever
undertaken.
This by the way is propaganda you have to understand our T is
is making it sound like the British armada. I think they
have five ships. And what really does the UK just ever 25
countries Yeah, some guys sent like, you know, their cigar
boat. Some guys sent like their dinghy, is this is war games.
Sure
in the region. Now this comes is this koi that Israel is
preparing to launch a preemptive strike against Iran's alleged
covert nuclear weapons program. Now, Israeli Prime Minister
Netanyahu has said that Iran is six to seven months away from
having 90% of what it would need to create an atomic bomb now,
okay, all right. Help me understand this. Six months
away, to have 90% of what it would take to have an atomic
bomb. That means they've got nothing
towards death, they got nothing.
They get six months to be nuts. So you need I think in order to
have the bomb, you have to have 100%
They have no
six,
six months from 90%. Who why are people just going oh, boy, that
sounds pretty dangerous. I mean, the giving you the actual
numbers. It means nothing.
Yes, right. I don't know I just annoying. I have no idea what
else there's something else going on that that Israel really
has got an itchy trigger finger about and I have no idea what it
is. This obviously none of this bullcrap
no O'Neill Netanyahu has been saying that Iran is very close
to a nuclear weapon for I think 10 years. I mean, this is not
new. It's just you know now with with Romney in the game and his
buddy Romney, I think they shared a cubicle together at
Boston Consulting Group. I mean, these guys are go way, way back.
He's just getting more more attention and more ink, and it's
gonna be very disappointed when rot is buddy Romney doesn't get
elected.
Well, you know, I still think that someone's got something up
their sleeve and they've got six weeks to do it. And I can't wait
to say, No. Here's, well, here's some Do you think? Who do you
think was President Obama ever in the boy scouts?
I would doubt it.
Alright. The Boy Scouts of America is accused of covering
up alleged child sex abuse cases of the Los Angeles Times is
reviewing hundreds of documents from the 1970s and 90s. The
paper says scattered Officials quietly asked volunteers
suspected of abuse to resign and then reportedly covered up the
tracks
Isn't this amazing?
I'm just loving this report about the Boy Scouts
you know and J
Do you understand how huge this is really about the Boy Scout
and how under reported this is going to be
well I'm sure it's going to be under report because everybody
in there's this has been a Boy Scout is actually pretty large
operation I'm surprised there's not more of this going on just
based on the numbers
we don't even know actually what's going on. But you know,
we're just getting a little tip of the of the reporting the pedo
bear man this thing is just so out of whack. You
know, I was in the boy scouts camp in the woods. It's just
about it.
Did Did you get any merit badges?
Yes, I did. Yeah. What for? Why this? Why did you get not tying
one thing? Yeah, I was a which I find disappointing is that I got
a merit badge for not tying, which everybody does. I can't I
can't tie knots anymore. Oh, yeah. I wonder. I think it's a
skill like kind of like spreadsheet.
No, I can do it. I was a sea scout. And I can see scouts.
I was the high end scouts are always on a boat. Or the
sea Scout when in Holland you pretty much have the sea Scouts
because you know you're in the sea. So you might as well. But I
can tie I could do the shank and I can do this slipknot and I can
do the slipknot and in one and a half seconds. It
sounds like dances. There he's doing the shank.
Yeah, I can do this. And but the slipknot I can literally do in
one and a half seconds.
Yeah. kept up your skills. Yeah. And
I can do the what's the one if your mask breaks? And you have
to have a knot in the middle and then three three for the
guidelines in maths not? Yes, the broken maths three guidewire
not I'm very good at that one. The sheep shank. There you go,
sheep shank I can do I can bet you I can still do those.
Meanwhile, Richard Branson, who am now more convinced than ever
is nothing is is no more than a spokesman shill. I don't think
the guy has a business bone in his body. He's been sent out,
you know, he's a banker. Now a bankster. As virtually hind
that guy that no huge money, I feel the same way about him that
he's just kind of a, he's a he's a frontman. Yes. But who's the
who's the real power behind
behind it's, it's a bunch of hedge funds. And so they bought
Northern Rock, essentially, which now has become Virgin
Money. And so he's in America, and he's on Bloomberg, and
talking. And he's got listened to this. He's on Bloomberg
Television, which is only meant for one audience, which is
people who are in the financial sector. And Richard Branson, is
insane, that
looks increasingly treacherous. You've got investments that
really span the globe, many, many different sectors, what's
your overall feeling about what we are going through about what
Europe is going through in Asia right now.
I'm always an optimist. But I like to think that amidst all
this pessimism that's around that there are green sheets now
and that is green shoots John, and that you know that I just
sort of feel like maybe the corner is just beginning to turn
in that and that and with with you know, with with a final
push, we can we can start sort of climate climbing out of the
the stagnation that we've really gotten into over the last few
years. And so, so, you know, you can see lots of lots of
potential icebergs ahead, but I'd like to think that maybe
that maybe the cornice term, maybe we can find it, we're
finally clawing our way a
chance. July potentialize vote what is this guy sounds like
he's a babbling idiot. He's
insane. He's insane. green shoots, we're crawling out of
the abyss. The tipping point. We're just around the corner.
Don't worry, a couple of icebergs ahead, but we're okay.
You're insane. Richard Branson. Insane. And why is he Why is he
doing this? I mean, he should just do what he always does and
jump off a building to launch a product repelled down
as though he did that? Well for years. Yeah,
he's insane. And he's just I don't know, I think they've just
sent him out. Maybe they're so worried about
him give him a very good briefing on this meeting. And
he's
to touch this stuff. Other than that, the added the added that
they've added. I mean, apparently someone has heard the
John C. Dvorak cycle theory and know that the abyss is two weeks
away as we hit October when the entire economy of the globe
collapses, and they said, hey, hey, hey, Branson, boy, go out
there and tell everyone about the green shoots.
What is the green chute?
I don't know. It was something that the Obama administration
used two years ago. They were talking about memory. And
Timothy Little Timmy Geithner was talking about green shoots,
and Bernanke, the Bernanke, the Ben Bernanke was talking about
the green shoots. It was two, three years ago, these people
were useful. Remember it all the green shoots? Yeah, yes, we see
green, we see green shoots in the economy. The guy's like
living in 19. In 2008,
green shoots and he said, people are potentialize There's no age
crap.
He was talking when he said, the guy's insane.
Okay, get the Clip of the Day. You gotta get queued up. Because
you're when you play this clip, you're gonna have to say, oh,
okay, okay. I don't know where you got that DeVore act, but
I'll give you a clip of the day because you're demanding it. And
it is pretty damn good clip every
what is it? Hillary Hillary. Oh, come on. I have the same clip.
To play it.
It's almost too delicious to believe my friends.
That's what she's talking to her. Her little lover up there
in Burma.
What they brought her into Washington. Yeah. And the woman
came into Washington and it's too delicious thing was just too
much for me. And it would but they brought her in here at two.
And apparently she came here to beg did pull the all the
sanctions that we have on Burma. And she was in there you whining
she said, Look, I'm here I am. Can we pull these sanctions?
They're killing us. Yeah. And they'll be Hillary's gonna? I
don't know. It's just great that you're here. It's too delicious.
I
say almost too delicious to believe my friend.
If you
can keep that as a permit. Oh,
yeah. No, definitely. If you hear someone say that to you run
in the other direction. I don't think that's good. Is a very,
very frightening thing to hear from her.
I was frightening when I heard it delicious. It's delicious,
my friend. Ah, hey, I think something's heating up with
Russia. As Russia has basically kicked us AI D out of out of the
country. Did you follow this at all?
Yeah, I heard about it. But I don't know the band.
So well. Well, USA ID, of course, is is pretty much while
it is a part of the State Department. And this is what's
in Egypt and watching all these countries. And that's where the
techno experts work. And it's you know, it's giving you aid
but, you know, essentially it is economic hitman says its
economic hitman. It's spies. Its techno experts. And Putin said
get out. October 1, get out. Get out.
Get out. You're causing trouble. You're making us and I'm sure
they're behind all those little marches. And
they are. That's why they have to get out. Yeah, Gary Kasparov.
Yeah. Get out. You should kick him out to other at it.
Let's get out. I'm sick and tired to you guys. I love it.
Just get out. Alright, enough for y'all. But but we're USAA
Yeah, I'm trying to see if there's anything else. That's
really I got one. Okay, good.
So I thought this was interesting. You know, there's a
lot of protests out there setting up Lebanon because
Lebanon is on the list, right? Yes, yes, yes.
Yes. Lebanon is one of the the Wesley Clark seven.
Yeah, so it's right. Exactly. Which sounds like a band from
the 60s Dave
Clark Five Westpark seven Yeah.
So the Wesley Clark seven was close Lebanon but we haven't
found any reason for Lebanon but but listen to this Lebanon
Hezbollah suggests Intel clip
to the cold by the leader of the Hezbollah party does have fun as
well or in a televised speech last night. He called for the
people of Lebanon to take to the streets to show the world their
anger about this. This film that they say is insulting to the
Prophet Muhammad. He says that the US intelligence is behind
this. He's really been firing up the tensions here and definitely
calling for his supporters to come out the protest will be
held in the southern area of Beirut. That's a very big
stronghold for the Hezbollah party. And as the week
progressed progresses, we're going to see more protests
across Lebanon
so there's the suggested us Intel intelligence agency
started behind the phony movie. I think it's possible job um,
where'd that come from? That clip that was that was good. I
liked that. Where's it from?
That came out of I think that was a CCTV China.
Very good. Very good.
You got to see you can play the second half of which is just so
good. Ronny, there's one or two but it just shows you the
extreme Lebanon as the EU is falling prey to the scheme it
seems to me and the next thing you know all hell's gonna break
loose. They're
making his first public appearance this year, the
influential leader warned that this is only the start of
the world should know our anger will not a passing outburst, but
the start of a serious movement that will continue at all levels
of the Muslim nation to defend the prophet of God.
Hassan Nasrallah called on his supporters to show the world how
angry they were, he said, with your faces, your face, and your
voices show the world your rage. And We have certainly seen that
today, as 10s of 1000s of supporters have taken to the
streets in protest. screaming,
screaming, so I'm now thinking that Nas Rolla is actually
working for us. There's no reason to stir this stuff up
like this, unless you're trying to, you know, cause a problem.
Well, there is another angle. And this is an angle that CNN is
highlighting. And it's it's almost disgusting the way they
bring in these experts to say the following
Frederica, we're in uncharted territories here. Now we know
that a couple of random individuals with an axe to grind
and and you know, an Islamophobic sentiments can
launch the kind of wave of violence that we've seen in some
parts of the Middle East. Now, there's no stopping it. I mean,
you think this is this is just the beginning. I mean, people
now know that they can get Admiral Mike Mullen to actually
give you a call and try to tell you to not upload a video on the
internet, there are many individuals out there who are
going to use this to this to our advantage. And we're gonna have
to figure out how to deal with this how to how to really
balance the freedom of speech with with, you know, the
national security interests of the United States. So this
is very interesting one, because the meme is here, we have to
balance, balance, no less freedom of speech with our
national security. But in light of the clip, you played earlier
about McCain, there is clearly a movement to embarrass Admiral
Mullen, Mullen. And and I think that it must be the intelligence
community versus the defense community, it seems like that,
that that war is back on again, between those two. And it kind
of makes sense. Knowing that, you know, Google has said, Hey,
we are not going to censor this video, because of course, Google
is the NSA. I mean, they have a relationship that's known. It's
documented. Of course, they don't tell us exactly what's
going on. You know, and so that's why Google says, Oh,
we're not going to censor that. Because, you know, for the we're
the spies, you know, we'll intelligence you can't tell us
what to do. Well, if
they're debuted, is this a battle? Because we've talked
about this? Yes, we have for years and the battle between the
Obama administration to the CIA, and then there's the DIA, which
is huge operation, and there's the NSA. But where does the CIA
DIA is it? I mean, what we have yet to get to the bottom of
this? What is the real beef going on here? i
The only thing I can think of is it comes down to budget. And why
is Mullin? I think it's got to do with Iran. But why is Mo when
it has to do with Iran or otherwise you would have the
stooge McCain going after Mullen with it's just an unbelievable
disingenuous lack of respect. Yeah. And the guy's a military
guy.
He's the he's the he's the boss of them. No, I'm
talking about McCain and military guy. Oh, well, yeah.
Not so they say you he has chose nothing but respect generally.
Yeah. But he chose zero respect for Mahler, that Joint Chiefs of
Staff and Ammoland in particular, there's a Navy guy.
I don't know. We just haven't figured it out yet. But we're
going to we
will figure it out. We're going to for sure. But Mullen seems
like a very sensible guy.
Well, there you go. That's mistake number one. Don't be a
sensible guy. I'll be wrong.
No, no, there's something you said definitely something amiss
has got something to do with either a contract or something
that didn't go through or something Molan queered a deal
on your he may have screwed up something that there was going
to make big bucks for these guys. And he he's he's screwed
the pooch. I mean, who knows? But I think it's we can find out
or whatever we just dig around. I'm pretty
sure that our producers will will be able to point us in the
general direction, but it's clear they're out on the warpath
for Marlin. And it's, it's McCain. It's Netanyahu. You
know, Marlon is you know, I guess he's Obama's guy. So it's
just you know, it's just it's sad is what it is it just
frickin sad.
So now in Spain all hell's breaking loose there too, which
is under reported, of course here, especially with this feed
is not going to show for people who aren't familiar with some of
our philosophies that our media does not. I want to show a lot
of riots around the world because it might give us an
idea, an idea. So better left unsaid. So now they want to,
there's an I've got this kind of double clip here. Spain wants to
privatize the railroads. Sorry, yeah. So rail
workers, who protested against possible plans to privatize
Spain's rail network. Elsewhere, things went quiet. Some services
were cancelled, as those working on the railways went on strike.
Because lots of people on the platform and it's complicated.
We'll see what the return journey is like. I think the
strikes fair, they want to privatize the rail sector. And I
don't think that's right. Spain has one of the best high speed
rail networks in the world. The union's fear the government
plans to sell off the country's rail operator next year. And
this they believe would mean job losses and a rise in fares. Over
the weekend, 1000s of public sector workers and others
demonstrated against the Spanish government's austerity reforms.
Oh, this is very obvious. This is how it all starts. by Iran,
Taggart rail lines.
God, I walked into that one You sure did.
That's your own fault, man. You did that to yourself?
Yeah. So anyway, so the split the second clip, and this is the
one that shows I heard this part of the of the report, which is
pretty long. I sit down now this, there's something that
just doesn't make any sense.
The unions warn of an alternative protest. But the
government here in Madrid shows no sign that it's ready to
change its agenda of deep austerity. In fact, towards the
end of this month, the economy minister Louisa Guinness would
announce yet more economic reforms, and they could include
plans to privatize the railways. privatizing Spain's railways
would be a crime for some, but for the government, it would
provide vital revenue as it tries to balance its budget, a
task which is made tougher as the economy here is in
recession. Tom barage BBC News in Madrid. Yeah,
okay. Well, let me just say, from a from an economic
perspective there, let's say they sell off the railroad,
they're not going to get cash. No, they're gonna get a bunch of
accounts receivable for all practical purposes and have a
promissory notes and stock which is not going to do anything for
the budget. It's going to maybe balance some books if you're
good bookkeeper, but it seems to me this is the get more revenue
when they're not gonna get any revenue from the trains once
they sell them to some douchebag. Why don't they just
raise the fair? They want revenue doubled.
I'll tell you why. Because in in the UK, they already figured it
out. You privatize and then you raise the fair. That's the way
that's the way to go.
Yeah, to screw the public. Yes, raise fares. And then he did the
government gets no benefit. It was just totally for some
corporation participate, or use fascism at his base roots.
are you confusing Europe's government with an actual body
that gives a crap about the people? Please tell me this is
not true.
I must be I must be dizzy.
I go back to when this program started in just before 2008
We're now in almost in our fifth year, please go to
the fifth year coming up October 26. We hope people would help us
out by celebrating with a $51.30 cent donation to Vortech
that org slash na and I just read the Lisbon Treaty and was
astounded by the fact that these sovereign nations were going to
have a European Parliament with over 700 members who could sit
in this this tower of Babel. In fact, the thing looks like the
Tower of Babel, yet, this body cannot bring laws to the floor
only the undemocratically chosen Commission can do this. We've
always seen this as a takeover. And it's a takeover by
corporations. It's in fact, I think it's the same corporations
who, you know, BASF and IG Farben is all the same thing.
And nothing has changed since World War Two. Except you know,
you guys got better television now because we're, we're, you
know, we got satellites, you can see our Kardashians,
right and the production values have improved, much more, much
more improved.
So it's the same thing. And I'm reading all the reports now
coming out of Europe, that really do point to your cycles.
theory coming to fruition in October, this October in several
weeks. What's your feeling that you, you and Horowitz, look at
this stuff all the time? Are you feeling confident it's going to
happen? Because will you have either October, March or next
October?
Yeah, those are the three spots where something bad could
happen? Well, my thinking currently is that they might be
able to stretch into next year because of the brain and more of
this quantitative easing. Now, it has two effects. One, it
definitely boosts the stock market. I mean, we're gonna see
the Dow Jones hit 14,000 We have no manufacturing, everybody's
out of work. You know, it's just a mess of gas prices are too
high. I mean, there's no reason for this boom of the stock mark.
Well,
yes, there is it so the elites can go, rob us completely blind
before it all crashes? And then we're gonna go buy our stuff,
grab our houses, grab everything, and then then then
then it crashes is not the system.
Yeah, that's the way it works. Whatever the case is, they get
to the market should be boosted. And it might get us through
October, I mean, is the possibility and your drop is the
market as such? It's not like really controllable. I mean, you
can do the quantitative easing thing and pump money in. But
since they don't, and I've thought about this, too, because
I actually think I may have discussed it with the borrower,
it's on the last ditch unplug. The I think right during the
show what I came up with this, I said, but the problem is, is
that there, you're trying to duplicate what happened in 1850,
which is should have been a down cycle in the in the 40, or 80
year cycle that we all like to talk about that have a cyclist
like to talk about in 1850, nothing happened. And we didn't
have a depression till 1857, which would be the equivalent of
2017 in the cycle. And the reason for that was gold, there
was $30 trillion in today's money of gold pumped into the
economy. And that kept the thing at bay.
That's because we found it that was because of the gold rush.
And people were digging it out of the ground, right. And
the difference is that it's looks the same way. So what
quantitative easing, we're just putting more money into the
system, which gold was doing at the time. And by the way, was
blamed for it in 1957, when they was deconstructed in 1857 was
the first year that a whole slew of books came out on trying to
analyze the depression, which now it's very popular to do
anyway, by so that all this money went rushing into the
system, and they're trying to push it into the system now to
forestall the inevitable, the differences and it just dawned
on me that the difference back then was the people who got the
free money. Gold from the ground was the public at large.
Yeah, not not banks, and more. It wasn't banks. Yeah.
And right now the money's just going into the top into the
banks, we're just saving it. So that's not going to work to push
off the problem. Unless we give everybody $30,000 or more a pop,
which I've said before, just give free money away. The way it
was done in a
I would elect you for president so fast. I mean, I'd like you
for president of the Fed. I mean, you would be my guy. I
just want my 30 grand Dvorak handed over.
Right, exactly. And everybody voted for me would get 30 grand.
They're not gonna do that.
And hookers and blow Come on, roll it out.
This is going to fail. Well, of course,
because the quantitative easing is buying up mortgage backed
securities, which are is just a bailout of the banks. Exactly.
It's a scam. Hey, wait a minute, we're being ripped off.
Alright, so here's Yeah. So here's how you can discover here
on the no agenda.
So here's how you can make some money. You want my tip, you've
you've you've given your analysis. Now, here's my tip. Go
out and buy as much silver as you can. And I'll tell you why.
JP Morgan
has pretty much the market on silver on paper. If they would
ever have to actually deliver, they can't deliver. I don't
think there's enough silver in the universe from then to
deliver. And they are now being investigated. And I think JP
Morgan Chase is going to is is targeted. I think they have been
taught for whatever reason, whatever they've done, maybe
it's just Jamie Dimon is in a hole. And I think that could be
enough because everyone he's so smug. And you know, now he's
kind of gotten a little bit of trouble. I think they've been
targeted. And I predict this is this is the bank that is going
to go down first in in the economic collapse, whether it's
October, March or next October, and they will not be able to
deliver on all their silver futures. And if you hold silver
and I of course I would say it'd be better to hold it physically,
but maybe there's some you know, you can answer that John, if
there's stocks or mining stocks or ETFs or whatever you're
supposed to have. I think silver could easily go to 60 from its
3435 where it is today.
What he's good
at I think you get you have a really I had to look at what
would happen if they were forced to deal with this over that they
have contracts for? I don't know. I'd have to think about
it. Yeah, I think it was in your theories your theories on
precious metals have always been pretty accurate for some unknown
reason.
It's not it's not based on expertise that's for sure.
A lot of people get big as they get some one a hair up there but
then they get really good at one thing about like you know, still
be somebody that really knows the auto industry and when to
invest in when to sell when there's a couple of guys that
are just Apple stock guys, that's all they do. They know
when to buy when to sell when to buy when to sell because all
they care about right and they're good at it. And what I
trust your judgment after the Gold Run up,
and Well, gold is now what are we're back at 1770 1772 minutes.
Sounds like up there. It's back. And remember, I said it was a
buying moment. Of course, I had no money to buy anything, but I
at least I said it.
Yeah, no, it's good. Somebody did, I'm sure. Oh, yeah. And I
always love
it. I always love it when I Oh, I always love it when our
producers need to hand over like a little sliver of gold. It's
always nice. You know, I tuck it away. I'm like, This is great.
You know, I'll have it. Now we've got our, our
our shavings that savings, wood shavings,
shavings, and anyway, okay, well, we'll keep an eye on this.
Yeah, but the silver
thing is based on two things, I think it was probably Max
Keiser, who led me down to understanding the JP Morgan
Chase has this huge exposure to exposure to silver. And if you
just look at what's happening everywhere in the financial
press to talking about JP Morgan Chase, big investigation, big
lawsuit, they're setting aside money for the fines are going to
have to pay. And I think just combined with the fact that
Jamie Dimon, he already had that big near the big whale who blew
it on some derivatives and London, I think the rest of the
banking community just hate him just or just like just because
they're all evil, but they just they hate him so much that like,
we're going to take you down. I think that's what's going on.
And they will if you got enough of these people they will and
then and then that silver market will just pop and it could go to
60. And it's cool because you can get in relatively cheap. If
you have any dough.
You know, people should watch the movie The International I
think cinema and we've talked
about this yet with BCCI
it's a good movie is a great movie. Anyway, I have one last
video we want to play it. It's just a kind of a random clip
that I picked up and I think is like going to be thematic. It's
again, this is on the international news broadcasts.
Democracy does not suit Islam. There's a lot of anti Islamic
stuff going on around the world. And so they're bringing in more
and more this sort of thing too. So we're all skeptical. And it's
interesting
and ultra conservative Muslim group denied any involvement in
the assault, but said it rejected what it saw as the
imposition of democracy and Libya from Benghazi where Davis
now reports Libyans
celebrating martyrs day as perhaps only they know best.
With guns in the city where the uprising against Muammar Gaddafi
began reminders everywhere with huge sacrifices these people
made to win their freedom. But there are some here who still
refuse to lay down their weapons. radical Islamist groups
like I'm sorry, Al Sharia say the fight for Libya is not over
ominously, they completely reject a western style solution
from
a Ducati refusal unit of Silla Linda who had to jump to leave
and the democratic system even those countries who pretend that
they are ruled by democracy that we want to tell the whole world
that project of democracy with his middle class doesn't suit
Islam.
You know what I don't understand.
I think Islam is really cool because when they celebrate
something they fire guns all over the place and I think that
you know, this happens to be in case you didn't know this is
constitute we have a constitution week as proclaimed
by our president of course we had Constitution Day or earlier
this week and Citizenship Day This is constitution week 2012
And I think we should go out you know, I was like hey John happy
constitution
I can't we do that.
That's so awesome. Isn't
number of people killed by random bullets? So what So
anyway, there's a belief now and it's the couple of philosophers
the one of the most famous ones is very popular with the with
the kids. Zizek who's out of Slovenia, very influential
communist, supposedly he's communists, but he's not really
any humanist. He's got some enemy philosopher in France,
it's come out they they're fighting with each other about,
they both consider that no real trend in the world right now is
anti democratic. And he and they both cite Europe as the best
example. Well, yeah, they just don't want democracy at all they
want. They want fascism, which, by the way, has been a trend in
Europe since the 20s. Because in 1920, in in the early 20s, when
fascism became a popular, it was an intellectual movement, mostly
from the left, but it was an intellectual movement. And
everybody thought it was a great thing because it was corporatism
was what it amounted to. And we're starting to see that on a
worldwide basis, it's, we may be one of the last step for the
French, the French and us. And I think they probably influenced
us on this more than anyone, are probably going to be the last
bastions of true democracy, if things keep going the way
they're going. And we don't want to even admit or, or even face
this possibility.
So I think the and the reasons for that the French, of course,
are actually well versed in democracy. The the democratic
the democratic system is, is I kind of, you know, a French, the
French, a French guy wrote it, if you will, they are very well
known for chopping off the heads of people who don't, who are
leaders and elitist and don't want to follow the democratic
system. And so they're just they understand it very well. In
America. We are, of course, completely stupid, don't
understand that anymore. But we wrote this, you know, a couple
of guys wrote this thing into our Constitution, which we
celebrate this week about guns. And so there's nothing worse
than having a 300 million crazy people with guns. So that's why
we're going to keep that around.
And I will mention one thing is JC Penney does kill Jr. Playing
dice is the one thing about the French is, even though they go
very democratic, they do swing the other way. And they've been
Napoleon or crop up and it's always yearning for one of those
guys, because they go out and kick butt. So the French have a
kind of a dichotomous view of the world. They firstly they
like to democracy in the freedom like this guy who did the
cartoons that we talked about earlier. But if they get a shot
at a Napoleon, they'll take it. Yeah,
now then there's that.
As Swingers, as a French, that was French. Yeah. Alright, John,
I think we should get out of here. plenty of stuff to look
into looking forward to our producers, sending us as much
information as possible, certainly on what we're on the
things that we're investigating, go to no agenda, news,
network.com, post something there or put on your favorite
RSS feed. And please help us out a divorce.org/na we are really
going to the mat for you, particularly on these road
shows. And we continue to hit everyone in the mouse so we
appreciate your support. Right.
Right. And we do appreciate the emails that we get occasionally
from some of our produce teachers that say, you know, I
can't listen to the mainstream media anymore. I just start
shouting at the TV. Well, welcome.
Welcome to the club. That's how it rolls coming to you from
President Obama's back porch almost here in Chicago, in
Illinois. I am Adam curry in the morning to y'all.
And from Northern Silicon Valley where the head starting to get
wintry icy nuts. I'm John C. Dvorak.
We'll be back and we'll talk to you again on Sunday. Hopefully
from Camp MoPhO but certainly right here on no agenda.
The best podcast it's almost too delicious to believe my.org/
