Federal Reserve says no rise in interest rates. Everything is
stable all as well go back to your homes, watch television and
enjoy life. Don't forget to sharp. Adam curry, John C.
Dvorak. It's September 23 2009. Time again for your gizmo nation
audio publication episode 133. This is no agenda live from the
heart of the seat of the United Nations Gitmo headquarters from
the makeshift crackpot command centre in the Big Apple, New
York. I'm Adam curry.
And as the sunset sets as it were here in Northern Silicon
Valley, I'm John C. Dvorak.
If you're gonna get my nation east, it is indeed in the
morning. Very early in the morning.
Get mo nation East Jimena Europe. Yeah,
it's morning somewhere.
It's always morning somewhere.
Luckily, indeed. Ah, Hi, John. How are you?
Good. How's it New York City? Well,
I'm glad you asked. First of all, I'm in one of those hotels
that I hate. I really hate. Okay, and they've redone it.
It's the W Hotel on Time Square. I'm leaving tomorrow so I don't
care if anyone here to
Debbie on Time Square. I have been to the W is that the first
one because I can't remember which one? Yeah, I think it is
the original Waldorf. Yeah, that's the first one but not by
the open. They open that place. And it was nice. Well,
it's a pain in the ass. So this is one of these both bo t
boutique hotels, which I don't think is correct. I don't think
it's really so boutique at all. It has you know, it's 60 floors.
And you know, so your roll up. It was I arrived late. What was
it Monday evening around 1130 My ass is hurting from flying.
Transatlantic in coach that was nice. And what fun Yeah. Oh,
there's my opening right there. So I saw a roll up and was like,
you know, to goons to these goons standing outside with the
with the black outfits on with the with a little secret service
type IFBB earpieces, just stand there looking at Yeah, you know,
not like jumping out to get even though I don't even want them to
carry my bags. You know, please don't bother me with that. They
just like moo goo goo. And they could even say good evening.
And, and this hotel, you have to go in to the hotel, you have to
go to the seventh floor lobby. Which makes so much sense. The
seventh floor lobby and then you come out of the elevators and
it's like a club was like and there's like, you know, really
cool people
all over the place. You can hardly remember that lobby being
on the seventh floor, maybe you're
thinking of a different w. And then you check in. And and it's
just loud. It's just this loud music and yeah, there's all
kinds of cool people around and the lights are dim, and then you
have to go and then there's two elevator banks. If you're going
to the 33rd floor then you have to walk around the original
elevator bank and get on there. If not, you have to go around
and behind that elevator bat elevator bank to another
elevator bank until you finally get up to your room. And oh my
god John, it's just one of those rooms you know, with the bowl
sink and same the lighting well they've they've changed it now
they've they've remodelled the rooms. And so you've got the
salad bowl sink. But now if you want to close the stopper, you
have to reach around behind they've drilled like a hole into
into the panelling and they've there's a little ball in the
most illogical place in the world you have to pull up to
open the stopper. It's just
it's just my favourite thing about those stupid bathrooms
with the salad bowl sink is the occasionally they offset the
faucet so if you come and you have to rush in there to rinse
your hands off until you turn the faucet on it hits the sink
as flush curves up and splashes all
over Yeah, yeah. So they have done something that the now they
have little shelf which is a position like a third of the way
above the salad bowl sink and then has an A lever on the side
which feels like it will snap off one of these days and then
the water comes out like a little waterfall and of course
you can't figure out what what's warm you know because this lever
is kind of like a joystick but with the the stick is too long
for joy. Now so you can't you have to kind of like swivels
around, it's stupid. It's just a stupid I hate this hotel.
Things all began in the 80s with the Morgan hotel and then the
royal tenant some of these other
places was the Morgan was kind of cool in a way? Yeah.
It was very cool back in the 80s.
Yeah, exactly when it was cool to be like that. It was that's
29 years ago. But the thing is, is that you're talking about the
the also in these places. I know there must be a spreadsheet
programme or something they, and it goes like this. Yeah, if you
keep the hallways pitch black, then you'll save like, $100,000
a year in electrical. I mean, there are some of these hotels,
where you literally you need a flashlight
to find your room to find your room. So so no, add on top of
that. There's a couple of things going on in New York. So I'm
here for Ad Week. Which oh, by the way, I reminder to myself, I
gotta be careful when I talk about sucking advertiser caulk,
because they actually listen to the show. I got a lot of you're
like, hey, what you're here to suck some advertiser Nick curry
is like, alright. Which was nice though, because, you know,
people are out there listening. I must have gotten 10 People
come up to me and talk to me about that show. I'm in the
middle of Times Square. Times Square, by the way has changed
dramatically for those who haven't been in New York for a
while. They have now closed off from I think 40 is ridiculous
45th Street to almost 50 at the 49th it's now all pedestrian
Yeah, so where cars utility there'll be a split in the road
and Broadway and I guess seventh or eighth Broadway and eighth I
think we'd kind of split and go around one time square and it
was 70 to 70 Right. And yeah and and that was kind of part of the
fun you know, it's like if you wanted to walk around times
square you have the potential danger of being run down by a
speeding cab it was it was kind of what Time Square was all
about. So that's now all pedestrian I must say it's
interesting because you know we're TKTS which used to be it
used to be this little dinky office right near the the army
recruitment office on Time Square for those you can recall
from back in the day. What TKTS is where you stand in line to be
1000s of tourists standing in line to get theatre tickets now
that tickets yeah cheap tickets that still exist except now it's
all like multi window and and on top of TKTS they built this like
bleachers but it I have to say it's kind of cool looking
bleachers by the way, it's no longer Time Square. It's father
Duffy Square. What Yes, this is this. Yes, yes. Father something
Duffy in these bleachers it says right there just father Duffy
Square and there's a statue of there's like a cross on Time
Square. Dedicated to Father I think Patrick, not Patrick Duffy
that would be Bobby Ewing from Dallas Square
was hit by a cat
battery Father Father Duffy. We saw someone in the chat room I'm
sure can look it up but no agenda chat.com
Well, you know Times Square of course was named after the New
York Times.
Right, well then it makes sense. They changed that since no one
reads it anymore. It's pretty much defunct. So it is kind of
cool though. You sit on the bleachers. I mean, it is amazing
how we went from like memory we had the Sony jumbotron on one
time square I mean the Times Square is basically one huge
jumbotron I mean you're surrounded by amazing video and
light displays and you know I don't do drugs anymore, but I
could just imagine sitting there totally baked and go to food.
And they had like an ice opera on one of the screens last night
with opera music flowing over time square so it's I can
understand where that's you know, kind of cool but it really
does mess up traffic because now you have to kind of go around
that and you have to at least go
because that's one of the thoroughfares Broadway in
particular was you could hot rod it up and down downtown to
Uptown rather nicely but now Oh no. Where'd you go
no longer and if you actually want to go in anywhere in those
streets, the cab has to go off to bat two blocks. Go Crosstown
through that area and camp now.
But add to that we have not only do we have Clinton's Global
Initiative taking place this week, Ad Week, we also have the
United Nations which means the President's in town and along
with every other world leader, it is a frickin mess.
And Qaddafi is in town and conduct terrorist event. Maca
John Mike Duffy
Moammar
not ran
Yeah, yeah. But Donald John Qaddafi is amazing. First of
all, I gotta give this guy props. He has balls the size of
my head. This guy. He's like, I need a place for my tent. And so
he was, you know, I don't know if you were following this, he
wanted to pitch his tent in Central Park and then there was
talking about him, you know, they said, No, you can't do
that. And anyway, so now he's near the Libyan embassy and he
has his tent. It's friggin 10 years there.
It's pitch early on Donald Trump's property.
Yeah, that's what they're That's my understanding as well. But
have you seen his security detail? This this guy, he, he's
got class man, besides the fact that he's a murderer. Well, you
know, the funny thing about Qaddafi that's interesting. If
you want to look at it from a geopolitical perspective, we
haven't heard much about this guy until they released that
character up in Scotland. Who was the bomber?
Not entirely true, because his son who was just as prick
troublemaker living in Geneva, who was like beating people up
and abusing people. And he was you know, they threw they threw
his kid in jail. And Qaddafi said, Ah, you better give me my
son back or I'm going to bankrupt your whole country. And
they gave him back. The guy he has.
No, but I'm saying right now. He's really playing it up a lot
ever since.
Let me finish my frickin thought.
You can't
if you want his bodyguards he has 50 Hot look. And I mean
smokin hot looking babes who are armed to the teeth in awesome
cute uniforms. I mean, like completely.
Where's your camera?
Well, I have I have a picture for you. From the New York Daily
News, if I haven't seen it in person. I've been sucking
advertiser dick. Here. Here's the take a look at it. I mean,
these babes are awesome. I mean, this guy and he's got his whole
outfit as you know. I'm sure it's I'm sure Gucci makes it for
him. And he's he's got his rap his poncho wrapped around and
he's got his his little pillbox hat there. And he's got these
babes. You know, they've got blue. Kind of dark blue
camouflage outfits,
like the one with the red hatch. The red bird girls. Look,
look how cute they are. John. Couple of
them are dynamite. It looks like
they may not even be able to hold a weapon, but who cares?
They look hot. And the guy gets on stage. I was watching the
news. He talked for like 90 minutes. And you know, no one
understands the bastard. You know, so it's all being
translated. I always wonder about those translations. By the
way. How do we know that what's being translated is correct.
Even unless you speak the language you never do know. But
I think it'd be fun in a way that's why John Stewart and
these guys they just do phoney translations which are just as
good.
And probably better. Yeah. So yeah, so it's a it's a complete
mess. All the cab drivers are angry. They hate it.
This is just money in their pocket. What are they
complaining Hey,
get well as New York. They can't get around. They can't do
anything. I just hate it. So everyone's kind of grumpy.
Why wouldn't have gone? Well, we have
done some good business here. Yeah, okay. Well then it's a
good thing, which is why I put myself through this ordeal
so anyway, out of the net what's How's New York?
How's the weather? It's muggy,
actually has been very nice. It's been it's been kind of
soothing the end of the day today. It got it got a little
bit muggy. But no, it's it's been alright. It's still New
York. Yeah. You love it to hate it. That's kind of
a good place to avoid.
And why now Now, John, now it's it's all right. It's all right.
You can still what I like about New York is everyone's in new in
New York for one reason. And one reason only unless you're a
tourist is to get shit done and take someone else's money. You
know, and it's clear and everybody knows it. And then and
that's what I like about it. So great place to visit.
So you know, there's something we we've been remiss concerning
this show, big time. Week, show after show after show we have
been putting off reviewing the last restaurant we went to and I
believe you can't even remember the name of the place by now.
It was 55 on 55. It was it was the state lounge.
Now you got that part right. Was
50 on 50 on 55 A
five Yeah, see, I
was pretty close five a five. All right, we can review that
real quick if you want.
I like to get out of the way we promised I mean about two weeks
ago, we're gonna review it and then Next show, and then nothing
came of it. And then then we forgot about it. I realised that
as I was getting putting some clips together that we'd
forgotten I had forgotten the name of the place myself. And I
realised we probably don't even remember what we ate. There was
some
way to know I know I do remember I do remember because it's well
the waitress was hot.
Well not really. forgot her name already. It was windy or
how relevant is it? Here's here's what here's what I
remember. First of all, nice ambience, the place turns into a
club apparently around 10 o'clock.
And this used to be the previously known as free song.
And I guess it went through two changes and now it's a steak
lounge as they call it in my son rebuked me for even going to a
place that would have such a trendy bogus concept.
It's kind of like the supper club. But not without the lame
entertainment. At least a supper club in San Francisco. And yeah,
it was all right. You know, the seating was nice. The ambience
was nice. I like kind of the contemporary look and feel of it
with no walls of flames everywhere. Although it was it
was kind of it reminded me a bit the inside of a luxury yacht.
Yeah, it had that kind of cheesy quality. Now, I thinking back on
it now I didn't like it.
Well, let me What started off there's something we didn't
first of all, though, I remember the first waiter who sat who sat
us down. He he looked at us with his head cocked and I remember
saying to you, oh,
yeah, you belly dead incessantly. Yeah, I don't I
don't like the, like people standing in front of me with
their head caught.
He had kind of like a menacing look. And then he convinced us
to have these shooters. And this was like a it's not a shooter of
alcohol is a shooter of gunk flavour, flavour shooters, and
we opted for the caviar shooter, which was 15 bucks a shot. And
if I could if I could find three caviar eggs
in there. It was none. It wasn't worth it
to know it was and the gunk wouldn't come out of the shot
glass and you see it was terrible. It was just a dumb
idea. That bad joke joke on us. Haha. And I remember we both had
meat
Yes, you had the buffalo fillet?
Oh yeah. Which was good. I did which was good. And it wasn't
good. It was okay. I
questioned whether it was Buffalo. And then I had the the
one of their whoo This is the best thing in the world. A
fillet mignon on the bone. Yeah, you were not too happy about it.
I don't think well and then I realised that that would what I
was really disappointed it was it was served with a supposedly
a bearnaise sauce. Well, I didn't think about it at the
time to grouse about it at the moment. So I wasn't sitting
there complaining to you, but I more I thought about it and then
I thought about it later was this wasn't a bearnaise sauce by
any stretch of the imagination. It was it was it was it was
broken. A bear and a saw should be like a thick mayonnaise. It
should be like you know almost like just like it's like it's
like a richer than rich Hollandaise is what it amounts
essentially. Karina kind of like snot when no it's it's a little
tastier. It's an egg yolk, butter, some shallot juice and
some some chervil and some other flavouring. And it wasn't it was
just runny. I mean Bearnaise is not supposed to be like you
know, whiskey. It's not supposed to be running all over the
place. It was ridiculous. It stunk. And then they had you
know, they had threw a couple pieces of Terragen on top of the
whole thing I guess to accentuate the flavour just it
was
there was something we liked. There was it was the the fries,
we kind of liked that there was the truffle truffle fries that
were okay, the meal overall. And I ended receipt by the way, but
they were tasty. Overall, I think it was overpriced. Because
we had a bottle of wine to go with that. I think the bottle
was if I recall correctly, 39 or $49, which was on the lower end
of the scale
by 50 bucks. Yeah.
Although not a little bit on the lower end. We're probably
somewhere around the 50 to 70 range typically. Do you remember
what it was?
I remember the wine. I don't remember the price. Okay, what
was the wine? It was the JSON which is a second wine. Okay,
cool. Yeah. And it was the 2005 Cabernet which is quite tasty.
Yeah, that was good. And then of course the the letdown at the
end of the dinner was Excuse me. I really apologise I
used to have to start the show. Next time you complain about my
using a fork improperly.
Yes, I noticed I didn't say anything to you when you again
took your fork like a savage and jab that into your meat on the
bone, holding it with your entire MIDI MIDI fist. And I
didn't say anything about that.
You're too busy. belching? Yeah,
they didn't have a cappuccino machine,
which was good. But you complained bitterly about this.
I like
our waitress, I think it was when they did it. Well, you
know, I can only offer you regular coffee. And then one of
the owners came over or someone who said he was one of the
owners, Steve, and said, hey, you know, this place is all
right, you know, except for the your shooters were Jip. We
actually told her there were a gyp. And so what about the
cappuccinos? She's like, well, you know, it cost $3,000. And we
really don't we really can't afford it right now. I was like,
Oh, wow, I feel kind of bad. Because they had just opened
this was
they did afford all those flat panels and all the art and all
the rest, and they could afford it. And you can lease the
machine
and they had had just on a soft launch, which I also hate. Oh,
yeah, he hates me launches. It's like it's an it's a Silicon
Valley thing. Or it used to be a Silicon Alley thing. In fact,
yeah, we're gonna be soft launching the website, which
means it's it's shit and full of bugs and doesn't fucking work.
So we're gonna just put it up there because we can't replicate
our production environment from the live environment. So we're
gonna soft launch. That's what that means. And so they just
soft launch. Anyway, it was it was about it was expensive. It
was I think, close to $200.
Yeah, it's too high. Yeah, I agree. So anyway, that's our
restaurant review a five A refers though, and they also
have it's one of these places that has all these trendy, bogus
beefs. Why? Yeah, why Zara. There's a bunch of these
wonderful Kobe clones of some sort. And, you know, grown in
Montana hills and, you know, the beef for fed cognac and
aperitifs and whatever. And it's ridiculous. Okay,
so
we're not going back. The
recommendation is don't go there. It's not worth it. And I
wouldn't mind before the our show was over giving a quick
book review of the new Dan Brown novel, which I finished on the
way but let's let's do some clips, John, because you sent me
a couple.
Yeah, well, first of all, I managed to do the swine flu one
so and get back on track.
Yeah, I got so many swine flu.
Go on that track for just a while because every time I turn
around, they're coming up with some new shales. It's a new
sales pitch to scare people because they get Yeah, I think
these guys are up to their ears. And people are rejecting it and
the nurses aren't doing it to me. People are just it this is a
this is going to cost somebody a bundle. If they can't get people
to take this shot because they got it,
let alone your life if you actually take it, but that's
secondary.
And well the money is more important, obviously. So anyway,
here's the latest sales pitch from the this is from a station
in Monterey Cal or Salinas.
This is the heart patient clip.
The white heart Yasha heart patients. Yeah, this
study just out says the flu is more dangerous than you think
especially if you have chronic cardiac problems. Here's
tonight's key to health. British researchers looked at 39
Previous studies of patients and found strong and consistent
links between the flu and heart attacks. Scientists say up to
50% of surprise flu deaths were due to heart disease. Health
experts now saying it is critical for cardiac patients to
be vaccinated for swine flu and regular flu.
This is what a puker by the way. That guy's a puker listen to
cute. Thank you. It just says that's good.
It just outsell so is more dangerous. The
flu. The flu is more dangerous,
isn't it? He's in a small market. So you run into a lot of
that.
Well, there is there is a lot going on. Once again with with
swine flu. In the United Kingdom, we I got a complaint on
the email. And it's kind of logical that you know since I'm
in Gitmo nation west so much that we miss a lot of what's
going on in Europe, in the United Kingdom. The government
has made a temporary change to the Mental Health Act, which now
allows people who refuse flu vaccinations to be detained as
insane it's true. I'm quoting the temporary changes to the
Mental Health Act as laid out in an unusually short consultation
lasting just one one month. So that that is you know, it's like
that's kind of how they they do laws in the UK is like, they
say, Oh, we're gonna we're gonna do we're gonna change this law.
And then they do a consultation, which means there's a website,
and then you can say, Oh, I don't like it and then they
ignore you and push the law. through anyway, it would now
only take one doctor rather than to to have a person sectioned
and put on medication without their consent. The measures the
measures, sorry, the JCD pronunciation, the measures
could have a serious effect on the 1000s of patients with
psychiatric issues who currently live outside state care, meaning
they could just be detained against their own will on the
word of just one health professional. And so this is now
apparently going to be used for people who don't want to be
vaccinated. You're insane. One doctor can say and they can
detain you and shoot you up anyway. Lovely.
Let's say good one. We need more laws like that here.
Well, I've also don't worry it's coming. Standby. No problem
whatsoever. They really must be desperate to sell some of this
adjuvant adjuvant good stuff. Because now I'm seeing no let me
let me find the link. This is good. This is a report out of
Chicago G. No wonder is from Chicago. This the centre of all
things evil as if we didn't have to worry about the h1 and one
virus. Now we have to worry about your dog. The H three N
eight canine flu is spreading we have to vaccinate our dogs now.
Is just out of control and you know it's the same crap and it
with a different label. Water you don't want to take it here.
You should give it to your dog it's just nuts
Yeah, it's nuts. All right, it's nuts. So So I got this one here.
Massachusetts bill will allow the police to break in and
vaccinate without a warrant.
Cool. Well they have those Stormtrooper outfits on like
they have at the airport and
Singapore and be like that le Gonzalez remember that? Oh yeah,
where they where they went to go get the kid and they just bust I
think coming in with
loaded to the gills with a big machine gun pointed at the kids
ahead.
Now you laughed at me when I mentioned this a couple months
ago and I told you that there was something fishy about
Verichip This is the company that has one if not the only
patent to chip human beings and I was talking about the
possibility of a RFID ink being used on people with his
vaccination etc. Now Reuters is reporting the following and you
might want to take a look at the stock John while you're at it
and you're in front of the computer C H I P I've loved the
fact that there's ticker symbol is chip very core. corporation
shares tripled after the company said it had been granted an
exclusive licence to two patents which will help it to develop
implantable virus detection systems in human beings. Oh
yeah. The patents held by very chip can detect I love this the
h one n one and other viruses and biological threats. So of
course we're now going to be marketed hey you know what if
you want to keep your kids safe just inject them with this chip
and the minute they contract the virus then you know headquarters
gets a little signal and we can save them
you know it seems to me as though your body tells you when
you have a virus
yeah we need to chip now we need the chip it's only John it's
only to detect the virus it really nothing to see look at
that
error well you might be onto something with this company
ought to keep an eye on him
up 186% Mondays late afternoon trading you're kidding Yeah. Go
look at that. Go look
at the chart I'm looking now now you got my curiosity piqued.
And it's exactly the this is actually the company they either
partnered with a required receptors LLC. To do the
biosensors. I told I told you this three months ago and you
scoffed at me. You did you scoffed at me.
No, I wish I was Jad. No this is impossible. Let's see I never
scoff I'm not this coffee. Holy crap. Looking at the rocket 25
cents or it goes up to 75 cents 50 cents 50 cents 50 cents. 50
cents. 50 cents. 50 cents for 50 cents. Boom $3 love that's more
than 100% distinct rocketed?
Yeah. 186%
Hello. Yeah. From from an older clothes. That was that's from
the plateau that went up if you really
Oh, it's even since Monday. Oh, no, that yeah,
it had gone it had the insiders, you See the trend here is
flowing along at 50 cents or so and then all of a sudden, at the
beginning of like the beginning of September it pops up in some
weird way and then kind of plateaus up a little bit and
then sticks there for a minute. Then it bounces up a little and
then it skyrockets. Oh so the insiders knew it. Yeah, the
insiders somebody do something when you look at this thing,
it's obvious. All right, let's
take a look. Let's we might as well do this. John, who's on the
board. Who's on the board of this thing? Let's take a look.
Corporate Governance. Wasn't this one this filled with
Monsanto guys as well. I think it was our goals. He was the
key. Here's
the key executives. The top guy is a guy named Scott Silverman
it's 44 He gets $1.45 million
for Hey, for a company that had a 2050 cents
50 cents a share. So that tells you something these are the guys
who are the opposite but they don't they don't have their
backgrounds on this particular sheet. I have to go to go to the
About Us. I'm looking at their website.
Yeah, it'll be on there.
The roots of very chip trace back to the events of September
11 2001 when New York firemen were writing their badge ID
numbers on their chests in case they were found injured or
unconscious. how gruesome is this? That's what they founded
the company now if someone said hey, you know what? Those dead
firemen I got a good idea for a company you bastards you evil
frickin bastards. Working closely with applied digital
functions now digital Angel Corporation. Very chip was
created as a wholly owned subsidiary in December 2001 to
produce and market and implantable microchip to
identify patients in an emergency situation. Oh my god.
This this is this is the mark of the beast John. This is it. This
is them.
I love here's what I'm finding weird. And you're on the
website. Right? Yeah. Where are they? Where's the board of
directors? Yeah,
I was looking under investor investors
or investors press releases SEC filings corporate government
here it is corporate governance.
Well, that's where I was looking. How about investors
FAQ.
Here's the board. They don't have any background in any of
these guys.
Now they have no fingerprints either. They have all these
codes that are really two star one three. Interesting. We just
grab one member of audit committee member of compensation
committee member of nominating it
isn't always just take the cut and paste and put it in. Put it
in Google Now we got what's this?
I love it when we serve together. People sit in their
car imagining the websites flowing before their very eyes.
You're on the train. We're surfing for you. Don't worry,
we'll have the answer soon. I got like the under the only guy
who has a big blurb here as the CFO.
Well, you don't have one of these guys. Maybe a coincidence,
but it seems there's one of these guys is a patient
advocate. And he is promoting it seems to me the legalisation of
marijuana.
Dude, great company.
These guys can't be
they can't really suck.
Alright, could be wrong, though. Anyway, we'll we'll do some
research and figure it out later. Let's go to another.
Let's have some more swine flu news. I want to I have a
beautiful clip in the group there that is. Well actually,
let's do the Glenn Beck one first. Algae. No, the other one
CBS. Yeah. So I'm watching the CBS News with Katie Couric. And
they tease and teased and teased the Glenn Beck Glenn Beck that
Glenn Beck a Katie Couric sits down with Glenn Beck really
combined blah, blah, blah. And so I the
way I picked up Time magazine to read the article about him.
Another Jip. That's another three bucks. I'll never get
back. What a stupid article. It's like it's useless
information. Nothing in there at all.
Yeah, it's lame promotion. Well, so I listened to this, you now
you got to realise I'm gonna play the beginning of it, then
you're gonna hear the music and then I just cut the interview
out of this clip because it's just a dummy interview. It
doesn't go well. It's
Katie Couric. What
do you expect? And it's Katie Couric. And so at the end of the
show, when she wraps it up, you're gonna hear the the T's
and then the wrap up. You're gonna hear which by the way, one
of the other reasons like cut it out. The Wrap Up is seven and a
half minutes later.
What did they have in the in the interim commercials? No, it was
a long, boring discussion of you know, promoting Glenn Beck and
what a nice guy he is. And so you know
CBS CBS is promoting the Glenn Beck is a nice guy. Yeah I'm
telling Fox is run by Democrats as well people laugh at me
people
play this here what you're gonna hear is her promote she's gonna
tease it then there's gonna be a bunch of music and then she did
that I cut all the rest of it out and then do you're gonna
hear the end of it and at the end of it you're gonna know the
reason why. Okay, here we go.
And coming up next tonight he uses his big voice he says the
speech for the little people one on one with Glenn Beck
on this wrong he's the most talked about talker around stand
up. Glenn Beck's new book arguing with idiots is published
by Simon and Schuster, which is owned by CBS. Because see my
company conversational effects you can watch my new web show is
called at Katie Couric and you can find it at CBS news.com Oh
my god, Max. He's one of the most powerful members.
So she plugs the book to death. Then just kind of casually
mentioned that they owned by the way we own a website so they can
milk the thing even more on her website shows all the Glenn Beck
nets can go over to Katie Couric website.
Yeah, this is that's, you know, the only thing I really think
Glenn Beck is right about is that this type of news is fringe
media. And I bet you if you go to the office, and by the way,
half the office is out with swine flu. Have you noticed
that? Seriously, Nick,
Nick will came in today and he left? Oh, no, like crap. I told
him and you're like, crap, you were the you look like crap
warmed over.
Yeah, I talked to him on the phone. He's like, Oh, man, I
can't keep anything down. Like don't worry, you know, as I made
a couple calls, you know, just make sure everything's running
Okay, and made some people do stuff and to do just stay home.
You know, you'll you'll be better by the end of the week.
And of course, Nick Yeah, he just got a promotion, everything
he's like, gonna come in. And he's swine flu. But half the
office is literally out with swine flu.
So well, that's kind of funny. I thought when you talk to him,
because after he talked to you a bit, he came in a licked all the
utensils and the cups and stuff.
But none but half the office is sick. But if you were to ask the
rest of the people who were actually there, if they saw this
interview with Katie Couric, they would say no, because no
one's watching this shit anymore. No one's watching this,
this dumb television and no one's reading these dumb
newspapers except the news media themselves. They're like turns
twirling around in a pot just going like, Hey, look at that
dirty. Look at that dirty that turns things more than
sugar ball as it were circling the
ball. And now the president. I love the president. He said,
Look, I know I saved the link somewhere. He says, you know, we
really should consider bailing out newspapers. Likewise. Yeah,
that's where we need to do we need to have the government give
the media money.
Did they do that in Denver or in Holland? Yeah. Oh, yeah.
That well, they even one step better. They put I think they
put 60 journalists are now subsidised. So the journalist
directly or somehow subsidised? Oh, yes. It's crazy. And do you
think that's not? You and I have talked many times about the FDIC
being pretty much a Ponzi scheme, and a non existent ie
bankrupt. Now the FDIC is the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation. And the dealio there is when your bank goes
belly up. And they did up this it was originally $100,000. And
I believe it's $250,000 worth of your deposits are guaranteed by
the government. So the government says don't worry
about it, you're covered. We'll take the bank down. So this is
from the New York Times and I don't know if you caught this
article, John is something we should definitely talk to, to
our buddy about. But now there is talk of the FDIC borrowing
money from banks in order to shore up their position. Now the
way this the way it works, as I understand it, is every single
bank has to pay a certain amount of insurance money into the
FDIC. So they're basically they're buying insurance and
it's it's mandated they can't get around it. Now, of course
the government actually be saving this money in a big
cookie jar in case these banks go belly up so they actually
have the money but they don't have it, you know, because we
know we don't have trillions of dollars, so there is no money.
And and here it is. Senior regulators say they are
seriously considering a plan to have the nation's healthy banks
lend billions of dollars to rescue the Insurance Fund that
protects bank depositors that would enable the fund which is
rapidly running out of money because of a wave of bank
failures to continue to rescue the sickest banks. But isn't
this our money that we already gave the banks in the first
place?
Why didn't we give it to the FDIC instead of the banks, so we
gave money to the banks now the banks are going to so they're
getting that for no for no interest free. And now they're
going to take that money and gonna make interest off of us by
lending it back to us in case the smaller banks, which of
course, the big banks are totally in the business of
putting out of business to acquire. Now they're gonna make
money off of our money lending it back to us. This is crazy.
It's frickin crazy. You know? I don't understand it.
Yeah, well, nobody does. That's that's the idea. I can tell you
this much. Somewhere a lot of money hits the floor or the
ground and it gets picked up by someone.
Well, here's here's another thing. I don't understand, John,
this is and I keep seeing this on television. I keep seeing it
being explained over and over again. And again, something I
was scoffed at, not by you, but by other people when I said you
know that the Federal Reserve was going to be buying our
treasury bills. And people like oh, you seem you idiot. What are
you this is very normal, we buy the treasury bills. But
apparently the Federal Reserve which has the right to print
money, our money is buying more than half of the treasury bills.
So isn't that like more turd spinning in the bowl?
That's how you stabilise the economy. And as you can tell,
it's stabilised oh
it's stable. Yeah, that's what they said today, the Federal
Reserve did say hey, economy's stable. Okay. And did you see we
I was watching CNBC, I'm taking a crap. And I'm watching CNBC.
And they're all talking about it, you know, they've got the,
the octave box, they got eight guys in a box on the screen. And
then all of a sudden, they actually break into the newscast
where a producer comes over going. Federal Reserve says no
rising interest rates, everything is stable all as well
go back to your homes, watch television and enjoy life. Don't
forget to shop. That's a good voice. Thank you. Let me let me
just let me mark that I'm going to use that as the opening for
the show. That was a good one. So but I believe that is called
monetizing our debt. And I believe that Bernanke said we
would never do that. And of course, he's,
you know, you know, a foolish consistency, as Emerson once
said, is the hobgoblin of small minds.
Right? Okay. Another person, you can go to the office and ask
anyone who was Emerson? Let's see how many people know the
answer to that one.
Yeah, no, I mean, I don't know what to what to tell you. Okay.
Okay. You want to go to I got one more clip and then we're
going to be done with clips. Okay. Then you can do your clips
you have do you have?
No I have?
No, I'm the clip Meister.
I've been working. You know what I've been doing here.
Yeah, you've been, as you say, so anyway, so I'm watching. So I
figure I'm tuning in on C span. So I'm on C span it is 10
o'clock Eastern time live from the Congressional floor. We have
two bonehead house or representative guys from Ohio.
And I believe that they were both drunk. Cool. And Tim Ryan
is the one of them and that and John Bochy Arias the other one.
And they were, they were tag teaming and Ryan would blather
on about some for a while and then Bo cherry pick it up and
then he'd refer back to the other guy and then after they
were done, it was an hour of them going back and forth and
back and forth. Every Republican came up and just poo pooed
everything they said but But it was funny to listen to the guy
whose looks bored stiff, who's the guy who's running the
Congress at 10 at night, you know, slamming down the I give
the representative from Georgia three hours.
didn't really say that. Swear to God, it was
it may have been three hours but it was like an hour or some
ridiculous amount of time. I have it on tape. But anyway,
it's just like you normally it's like five minutes, five minutes
during the record thing, but it's like he's got an hour you
know, so he goes up during Yaks away. There's nobody in the
place except these guys. And these two drunks are they seem
to be they were they let's say I'm not going to accuse them of
being drunk. So I don't want to all right. I
will. I will the sloshed I
think that they were tired.
Okay extremely tired and then needed to go to a spa.
So I picked up this little gem right in the middle of Tim
Ryan's these guys are promoting the cap and trade and how we
gotta save America because it's about jobs. Jobs, jobs. Jobs,
jobs, jobs and jobs. Let's vote for jobs. So now I have I think
the greatest clip I've ever caught ever is that you're just
playing
we're doing here with the fold of General Motors with the the
new battery storage, the hybrids, we drove in a car the
other day, Congressman Inslee, and Israel and I drove went from
California, to Washington DC, on algae. On algae, you know how
you grow the algae. You pump a bunch of co2 in it, and it grows
the algae. So here you have an opportunity to learn how to make
cars that run on algae, grow the algae in places like Ohio that,
unfortunately or maybe fortunately at some point, give
off all the co2, grow the algae, put it in cars, and we have a
clean economy.
We're safe. We are completely safe. There is nothing wrong.
All as well, ladies and gentlemen. Oh yeah. You know
what we do here on no agenda. Our formula is this. We go out.
We hit people in the mouth. And we drive from California to
Washington DC on algae.
I was just my jaw hit the floor.
Well it is true though, in the algae is is a great so it's like
diesel fuel. You know, you can totally burn algae. I don't know
about if you have to pump co2 into it. But just that whole
quote was like the world is saved. Everything's fine. We're
gonna listen cars. Oh, gee, LG and I
like the thing you could grow. We could grow algae. I think
it's growing there already.
Let's grow. I'm growing it in my fish tank. I need more algae for
my moped. Oh my God.
What a couple of dang bats.
It's just beautiful. Well, of course, we would never run for
any type of Office. So you got to give him some props for doing
it there representing our country and the algae industry.
I love it. Especially interest. Hey, we should invest in algae.
Is there any company we can invest in? That makes our gel?
There's nothing I don't know what he's talking about to be
honest about it. I've read that out. I don't know of any algae
engines? Yes. Yeah, sure. There is. Yeah, right. Yeah,
dude. Google it, algae. Now is it LALG? I don't know. So you
don't you don't want you're not doing the research algae
biofuels successfully tested in clean green cyclone engine. In
2008. It's real. Yeah, you don't get any horsepower out of it.
I'm sure you don't get anything out of it probably stinks when
it burns.
We we told you on this show though, what NASA was up to. And
of course, here's by
the way this this is a stock that's listed this cyclone power
technologies Cineplex CP CYP WVU investors are looking for LG and
Jins
to penny stock. Yeah, it's right up there with Oregon engines I
think
mid run on Oregon, Oregon project coming by the way
Actually, I'm I'm amassing research. It's gonna be my post
my post company project. If I ever if I ever quit this damn
company, then I'm gonna just continue on my Oregon research.
I have a shower. I think that that actually is a fine orgone
accumulator. My shower upstairs.
I shower in the in the soon to be demolished loft. Yeah. Yeah,
I think it's I think it actually is an acute accumulator of
orgone energy. We should stand that at some time naked. It
could
be like I said, you know, if you mix us different kinds of cloths
you get or stick your finger in a Coke can. And I think I don't
know how many people have actually tried this. You
actually your little finger will go in the hole. You'll feel how
warm it gets.
Okay, that's the new opening quote of the show. Your little
finger actually will go in the hole. John C. Dvorak,
September 2010 foisting? It is better because of the shopping
thing.
NASA says it has successfully launched a rocket in Virginia. I
didn't know they had a launch pad in Virginia.
Did you know never heard of such a thing? Of course, Virginia
where all the spooks are. This is according to AP. We told you
this. Two weeks ago on the show, successfully launched a rocket
in Virginia as part of an experiment and the blast may
have caused dozens of people to report seeing strange lights in
the sky. The space agency said at launch the black Brant 12 on
Saturday evening, to gather data on the highest clouds in the
Earth's atmosphere about the time of the launch. Dozens of
people in the Northeast started calling local television
stations to report seeing strange lights. The calls came
in as far away as Boston which is about 380 miles northeast of
the launch site. And here it comes. The rocket is designed to
create an artificial cloud. NASA hopes the experiment will
provide information on the formation and properties of
noctilucent clouds which occurred high altitudes This is
the crappy the spray and shit in the atmosphere. oxide to make
clouds and it's can be seen as far away as Boston because this
is a huge cloud they've created and they shot it up from spook
Central Virginia.
I don't like the sounds of this story.
Let me see space station. No, not space. Launchpad. Virginia.
I didn't know when they could launch rockets from Virginia.
Oh, you know, maybe they have a secret pad somewhere. I don't
think this was a big rocket. I think this was like one of those
backyard rockets. It just goes up real far. Okay. Oh, it wasn't
like you know, you know, a Russian rocket or anything.
Rocket Launcher.
I'll check this out. spaceports oh look, dirt turned for new
Virginia Launchpad. US Senator Barbara Mikulski told over 110
his new Middle East
here from 2006 The minitower rocket makes sunrise launch from
Virginia Wallops islands so they're not launching it from
the you know, downtown. From downtown, coming out, and
they've got some wires hooked up to a car battery, like lunch. I
used to love those. I had some model rockets I used to launch I
used to love that. I was cool. Anyway, I don't like it either.
Genius spaceport it's yeah, it's not a good science. Why
do they why did they doing it? There was there's some Well,
that's a pretty fancy looking rig. It's this is not a small
time operation. This is got the big you know, that big giant
thing. They put the necks of the rocket to hold it in place. That
kind of thing?
Yeah. Yeah, it's even. They sent
up a satellite to Gen set one research craft 2000. That's a
serious pad. You can you can launch a satellite in orbit. You
got to Sirius rig, that's for sure.
This ad tech set to future military salaries as a military
launching thing is they trying to keep it secret. They don't
want people watching
but it's not a NASA site. It's the spaceport but it's not a
NASA thing. And now they're making it look like NASA is
doing it. It's the it's the US Naval Space Command that's doing
this shit. This is not a research project. This is this
is like you know now that we're on to chemtrails are like, Oh
yeah, you think you think you know what chemtrails are take
this bitch. And they shoot that thing up there and float this
huge oxide layer over us without asking. I might add. That's not
okay. It's just not okay. I'm against that. It's sketchy.
I think we need to look into it more. What's the point? It's
pointless. Well, that's all I got this week. Oh, okay.
Well, I got a couple other things.
I did watch it. By the way for the Sunday show. I should
mention. I do have some Obama clips off of Letterman. Obama is
a laugh, right? He may be the funniest president ever. I just
religiously,
have not not looked at any of the clips yet. I was actually
hoping I'm gonna have some clips for today's show.
I couldn't I didn't have time to get them together. But the fact
of the matter is the guy's funny. But he'll be funny on
Sunday, too.
You know, and I was actually considering that, you know, as
hip as this President is and that's the part that I actually
like about him because he is funny. He has a great demeanour.
You know, he's very comfortable in front of the cameras, whether
without teleprompter, he can tell a good joke. And he's and
he's, he's snappy. But then, you know, you kind of got to expect
for a guy who goes on every single frickin show that's
available on Sunday goes on the Letterman Show, you know, so
don't you it doesn't hope people understand that. Yeah, a guy
like that. It's gonna get hit heckled in Congress. You know?
It's like, yeah, so I might yell out something, but it's not. Why
does it have to be such a move? Someone said something about the
President's I'm gonna interrupt it and someone heckled him. But
in the meantime, he's doing all kinds of stuff that is
unprecedented. I can't remember many other presidents going on
Letterman.
No, actually, he's the first sitting president that's ever
been on a TV talk show ever.
Yeah. So you know, there's a whole whole bunch of first is
that does that not demean the office of the president is the
chair by the way, the short chair that the guests sit in,
you know, the TV talk shows if people out there don't know
this, the guests chair is down about two to three inches Below
this the host chair and so there's always a balance of the
host looking down and managing the show but but all everybody
the guests are down there down low. And so you had the
president united states who's a tall guy, because when the two
of them stand next to each other Obama's 6465 Let him is not a
short guy but he's like, still shorter than Obama. Yeah. And
so the President was subservient to
him Yeah, that's because that's the way that those settings or
the system works yeah.
Over in Europe, we haven't talked about it much the Lisbon
Treaty they're going to try it again. You'll remember that
Ireland said no. And of course all of the member states of the
European Union have to say yes and and I just want to remind
folks and we have talked about this for over over a year ago, I
read the Lisbon Treaty, which has a whole bunch of references
to all the side letters essentially and just some of the
basics are if this thing is ratified, then European law goes
into effect that can be a European army. If if you're if
you're deemed mentally insane or you have a contagious disease
disease like me think what's a contagious disease that you
might get? Oh, yeah, swine flu you can be incarcerated against
your will if they say well you have a right to life except if
you run away from a police officers trying to arrest you
and they shoot you it will be deemed illegal kills so there's
all these like little tricks of the of the of the trade that are
baked into this thing and so Ireland saying yeah, Ireland
said no, we don't want that no way. And then of course the
European Union went okay well that's no good let's have let's
have a do over we got to have another vote this is no good we
need a yes vote. So that's coming up in October it's coming
up very soon the yes camp so of course is a huge lobby to get
Ireland now to vote yes he's under huge attack as the funding
for the promotion of yes has been astronomical Ryan air Intel
lobbyists all under fire for can't campaigning with what
they're calling obscene amounts of money they are pouring on the
heat. Oh,
wait, wait, hold on Stop. Why would Intel or Ryan air for that
matter or any of these other companies care so much about
they were what does it make to them? Oh, because
they've been promised all kinds of tax breaks. Ireland is a huge
tax break company. So Michael O'Leary, the head of Ryuji
that's tax breaks, the head of Ryanair announced that the low
cost airline would spend 500,000 euros promoting a yes vote.
Ryanair paid for a full page advertisement in the biggest
selling Irish daily newspaper advertising that proclaimed 1
million reasons to vote yes to Europe 1 million free seats vote
yes to Europe has no promotion there
so yeah give away a million free seats
that bullshit read the fine print Intel has a you know Apple
produces computers over there they're all over there for the
tax breaks so that's why they all want tax breaks so that you
know they don't give a shit if the Europeans kill each other or
they shoot their citizens or arrest them unlawfully they just
want to make money okay, yeah, vote yes. Yay.
Vote yes, we don't care vote yes, we don't care.
Your government which wants to run health care for you. That
was funny. I was out drinking with some of the some of the
advertising people which is when you really do the business by
the way. And around two o'clock they started talking about
health care and I excused myself I said, Hey, job, good luck in
the afternoon in though in the evening in the morning. Would
you look at the time I gotta go home and like I do not want to
get into this because you know that no one will ever work with
you ever again if I get started?
Yep. The wise decision?
Yes, cash for clunkers programme. Hey, it's fucked up.
Guess what? Who would have imagined it looks like there
could be hundreds if not 1000s of dealerships who essentially
have footed the bill for it. You know, the idea was if you buy a
certain type of vehicle, which was you know, more
environmentally friendly, you brought in your quote clunker
and you would get 44 and a half $1,000 off the price of your new
vehicle. And so the dealers that basically sell the car, take the
four and a half 1000 off the sticker price or whatever the
negotiated price was fill out some forms and the forms and
they get their four and a half grand back. Well guess what?
There was the response was so huge that the government
actually had to bring people from the FAA into prompt to
process some of these forms because it was just you know,
they ran out of their billion dollars in like a week. And then
they poured another $2 billion. They don't actually know how
many of these four and a half $1,000 rebates or free money was
given away and it looks like 1000s of dealerships are going
to be stuck with 10s or 1000s, maybe even hundreds of 1000s of
dollars worth of rebates that the government's not going to
pay for.
Does this surprise you?
Well, I just want everyone to hear it because this kind of
shit is never reported on The Real News.
Now that story's over. There's no reason to report this
anymore. Moving along, move ahead. Nothing to see here.
I didn't get to play the jingle.
You should.
In the Netherlands, which is the beta test ground for for bid for
all of Gitmo nation. Home Affairs Minister Fischer to
Horst feels it's necessary to introduce breathalyser tests for
pedestrians. Right, yeah, breathalyser tests for
pedestrians and popular nightclub areas to cut down on
alcohol related crime and violence.
But some guy walking down the street and they make you take a
breathalyser
and walk out of the club and they'll make you take a
breathalyser Well, yeah, I just came out of the club and I'm
walking in give me a freakin break. So yeah,
I went in, you know, I went to Queens day. Everybody's drunk.
Yeah, that's the whole point. So what is the point of these
breathalyser tests? Everybody's drunk so what are you doing?
What are you accomplishing? Give him a ticket for being publicly
drunken in Amsterdam Yeah, yeah in Amsterdam of all places.
Yeah, they'll give you a ticket yeah. Oh yeah. Now it's crazy
ticket is the ticket say you were drunk
pay us money
yeah that's what it's about
your dreams are going to be some sort of a limit like a legal
limit I mean, with driving you have you can have a certain
amount of alcohol in your system but once you go over the legal
limit, then you can get arrested. Is there going to be
the limit going to be the same as for driving? That's
a very good point. I don't know that's a good point. I'm sure
there will be there'll be some kind of it just like you coming
out of a club they're gonna stand like you're coming out of
the club. Did you have anything to drink? Yeah, that's why I was
like in the club
you know this sounds like a you know this sounds like the basis
for corruption to me and the corruption in this case would be
the club has to buy off the cops to keep people from standing out
in front take you know or the cops or the cops to try to
extort money from the club they have a bunch of them to go
around some clay you they haven't coughed up your your
dole here. So we're going to have two cops out in front.
Everyone goes in and outs is gonna have a breathalyser test.
Yeah, you like that?
It could be it could be that but I think it's more just, you
know, hey, just stupidity. I think it's just US citizen.
You're my slave. Shut up. I'm wearing uniform or shut up. Or
I'll breathalyse you mean, this is just more control over
people. I do have a quick swine flu thing. I'd be amazed if you
didn't blog this. Particularly because the picture on this new
story from this Dr. David Butler Jones. Looks kind of like he'd
be related to you. That's kind of funny. It looks just like you
only with a little more hair. He's from Canada. Hey. No, no,
I'm not being mean. Yeah, you might have heard about this. So
they had they sent up these mail link. Yeah. So they they sent
these swine flu kits. Up to the weather, you know that? Well,
what's the word? I'm looking for?
Each item at the Indian Reservation? Yeah. Yeah, the
body bags. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I know that Canadians are all bent
out of shape about this. Yeah. Because
they they send they've sent up these these kits, you know, it's
like, so if you guys get sweaters,
or anything like me I don't have a moustache and I don't have
that kind of a grimace.
It could be related to you. Look at look at you standing in front
of the fight. flu.ca flag. That's kind of cool. Yeah, so
they a part of these kits. They send up body bags. Hey, if you
guys get swine flu, here's some body bags, enjoy.
Good luck. Fun
apologising for it, and they also was they didn't send up
something that contained alcohol because they were afraid that
they would they would drink it.
Oh, yeah, the Indians Oh, shows that she alcohol they drink it.
Yeah. What was it that didn't want anyone to send up like
disinfectant or something or mouthwash
or drink it? I mean, as if the Indians can't just buy alcohol.
It's not like you're an Indian in Canada or in the United
States up in these areas that doesn't you can't eat you're an
Indian. You're fine. But you have a driver's licence. You can
walk into a store and buy alcohol, but I guess they
perceive the Canadians perceive these eyes as such lushes think
that's they'll drink anything. Don't send them any Listerine up
reservation. Crazy Indians just drink it.
You want another $80 million website we haven't talked about
yet? Oh, yeah, go to this one open internet.gov This is this
is actually quite frightening. It's still in beta. I'm just
gonna get this to play with our connection here because the
hotel connection isn't all that awesome thank you.
Here it is Julius Genachowski, Chairman of the Federal
Communications Commission's only
one channel. Julius Julius, Jenna kowski. That's kind of
laying out the F the F now. But here's what's interesting. The
FCC posts their first video on their open internet.gov website.
And it's left channel only a way to go guys broadcasters open
internet.gov
The internet is the most transformational communications
breakthrough of our time, it has become essential to the fabric
of the daily lives of Americans. The internet has been an
extraordinary platform for innovation, economic growth, and
opportunity. It has unleashed the potential of entrepreneurs
in giving us this list of small businesses across America he's
setting us up the key to the Internet success has been its
openness.
Alright, so this is this is the open Internet got gov. And if
you look at read the speech, because I'm not gonna play the
whole the because he's the chairman not gonna play the
whole speech for you. But this is about
neutrality, net
neutrality, thank you. And so he's going into this, the whole
speech is about, you know, of course, it should be net
neutrality, everyone Yeah, they shouldn't be filtering any type
of traffic, there should be no discrimination of what type of
traffic is running through through an ISP lines. But of
course, at every turn in the speech, he's saying, but of
course, an ISP should have the right to manage their network.
Because if they need to, if they need to manage their network, it
might have to, you know, like push some types of traffic down.
I mean, this this is a very, very dangerous outfit, the FCC
and now they're getting and i didn't i Since when is the the
internet, the FCC is domain. But they are now going to come in
and they're going to create regulations. And they're these
are the guys they're going to regulate the internet, I'm going
to essentially take it away from us. And this is their setup. And
you should read through this speech at open internet.gov read
the speech or if you're lazy, go ahead and just watch it on his
one channel only YouTube video. On his beta site, we're in beta,
but we'll be launching more initiatives on the site soon
we're in beta. Here the fifth principle of non discrimination.
The fifth principle is one of non discrimination stating that
broadband providers cannot discriminate against particular
Internet content or applications. This means they
cannot block or degrade lawful traffic over their networks or
pick lawful traffic. Okay, so that means you're gonna have to
sniff it. I mean, it's all in here, right? You can just see
what they're doing lawful traffic, what is lawful traffic?
Okay, all traffic is lawful. It's
so I think we should have a story that we should declare
that the last 20 years was the golden age of porn.
It's all over. It's all over. That's right. They cannot
disfavour an internet service just because it competes with a
similar service. I'm looking for the Oh, it's like here. This
principle will not prevent broadband providers from
reasonably managing their networks. During periods of
network congestion. For example, it may be appropriate for
providers to ensure that very heavy users do not crowd out
everyone else, like BitTorrent users. And this principle will
not constrain efforts to ensure a safe, secure and spam free
internet experience. I don't want a safe secure spam free
internet experience. I want porn. I want pop ups. I want all
kinds of viruses that's what makes the internet cool. I don't
want it to be safe. No, you know what I mean? And I don't want
this douchebag Look at him. I don't want this douchebag to be
determining what is safe
well there's been some talk for a while about the FCC trying to
get make it seem as if you know the FCC was always a broadcast
oriented I mean they have all the rules. That's when your way
you can't have a costume malfunction on the Super Bowl
and things like that and the FCC will find I knew and they
control this and they licence, various channels, radio stations
and TV stations. And there's always been a kind of a subtext.
It was a lot. A lot of it was done by some of the Republicans
actually, that maybe the FCC should be a little more involved
in the internet because you know what, you have videos on the
internet you had, and they were also getting more involved in
cable TV, because cable TV was always on its own. It could do
whatever it wanted. It could have the Playboy channel, it
could have movies where people cost Yes, it could do all these
things without worrying about the FCC finding them. You can't
cuss on
Broadway. Exactly, John. So this show where and I've cussed quite
a bit on this show, or I've said some words that would be deemed
inappropriate by the FCC will not be lawful traffic anymore. I
mean, who the hell is this? Douchebag to tell anyone they
can't listen to this show. Because the words coming my way
out of my mouth translate into unlawful traffic. That's where
we're headed. devora.org/blog is filtered out already in every
single library and high school in the country because of the
word uncensored. You know, screw that. Hands off.
Yep, you've made your point. Then I'm on your side on this
one. Okay. Well,
on that note, we spent
where else? Where else can people tune in to get this kind
of charge debate, even though there was no debate there?
Now, there's no debate. Wait a minute before before we do that?
Hey, I just want to say I read this book, the last symbol Dan
Brown's new novel, I finished on the aeroplane. I like it. And
let me just say why? Oh, yeah. Oh, you know what? And when
Osama bin Laden puts it on his Osama's book list, then I was
going to be talking about it right. But let me talk about it
first, before Osama puts it on his list. I like it for a number
of reasons. One, Masonic history is interesting. It's just it's
one of those things, particularly all the symbolism
in Washington DC it's just interesting because most people
know so little about their country, about the Capitol.
Certainly about architecture, I don't even know if this is
taught anymore in schools. It there's a little bit of history,
they
don't even teach how to balance a chequebook in schools anymore.
So there's there's some history in here that I think people will
just find interesting to read the story itself Wow. Okay, so
what's another quest for this? For this last the mysteries the
knowledge of the universe, and I'm not going to spoil the book
by telling you the ending but the ending actually does make it
makes you go hmm. And it makes you think a little bit it makes
you think about religion. it from a different slant. And it
actually John in a way all relates back to Oregon and
Wilhelm Reich's studies. There's some of that in there. Well, I
didn't see that coming. No, I
know the last 30 pages is just like, oh, okay, I kind of like
how that ended up and you sit there and think hmm, that's very
interesting. I'm not gonna say anything else about that because
I'd spoil the ending of the book. Not bad, quick read.
Definitely a page turner. It's a little bit too big in the
hardbound version is too big is too big to carry around. clunky
plain Yeah, it is clunky. So there you have it. We I'll put
it to you this way. Where else can you get a review about a
restaurant you definitely don't want to eat eat at and a book
you don't want to carry around? You can't get that on any other
type of programme but this one my friends this well,
we and also the LG car and the LG which goes from Sanford.
Where did these go? To do besides? Right? Have you know
what that kind of a drive is?
That's like a six day drive.
It's ridiculous drive.
On algae Nola.
It's three guys in the cars, you fart and I mean, come on.
Anyway, I'm here in a hotel room in the middle of Times Square.
It's, we're going on 11 o'clock in the evening. We've, we've
kept to our schedule, we keep our promises, because I'll be on
an aeroplane tomorrow during our regular broadcast time lets me
know and it's important that the show gets out on time if we
can't make it we do it a day earlier instead of a day later.
We're dedicated to this shit and we don't play ads so
right because we would be corrupted in a minute. So that's
it thank a few people that gave us some money over the ledge and
I have a very a couple of interesting anomalies this week.
That one is like a just made me blink. Okay, so spang Berg
enterprises in Alberta gave us 50 bucks and which I appreciate
Jeff psych s i e k. I think it's like it could be seek and soul.
Vang gave us $51.15 which is a palindrome Yes. Terry love in LA
And in England gave us $81.87 Which I'm sure means something.
Yeah.
Which means you only had to spend 10 quid
Joshua per chelski in Natick, Massachusetts gave us $77.30
Which he did he sent me an email.
Yeah, isn't that that's a Masonic number
of some sort.
Yeah, what did he explain it?
Yeah, he sent me a letter explaining it and of course now
that I think if I didn't write it didn't make it known. I'm
gonna have to
777 33 is a Masonic number it's all over it is 7730
Oh 30
And I think it has it was coincidence it's binary for some
it's one of those crazy computer gags
Okay, cool. Well next time I'll go Joshua will game No,
no I gets in there.
We're telling people is put it in the comment box and you're
not and then you're forgetting to extract it.
Joanie Bevins in Vicksburg Mississippi, we finally got our
Mississippi listener. Connect interesting. $50 And then Mark
coolin. And he's in the Netherlands ke ULE. And I think
as a way how to spell COVID colon colon colon which is in
which wi J d e n e s
spell a slower wi D J What?
Wi J wi J Yeah, d e n e s. guidance. Guidance. N E S? Yeah,
there'll be w ij D and then what? e n e s? Yeah, guidance.
Okay could have known that.
In Holland. He gave us 60 bucks, which I guess was 10 New euros
or ice or just a sprinkling of gold?
Nice in an envelope. It has worked 60 bucks. Yeah. And then
cordless. had.com from North Las Vegas gave us $50.09 In the nine
cents was to remind me to say Andrew says Trisha,
Congratulations for winning an Emmy the other day. Oh, wow.
Excellent. Yeah, one of our board members won an Emmy. Ted
leonsis, with us he did a documentary with
me Ford he was very proud get to get the big me of the little one
no he got i It's funny you say that because the first thing I
said How big is that thing? Is it like heavy said dude, it's
heavy. It's really
really that's a big one probably big me. Yeah. Oh, good for him.
I assume that Trisha got the big one too because it was seemed
like she should have
dude you just mentioned her name. That is the definition of
getting the big one.
She should probably be getting the big one tonight. So Osama
alas hurry. I hope I got that right a la as his I ry Oh sama
Alas, we in Doha, Qatar. Wow. So we have a Middle Eastern
listener that's good. And in he gave us $64.32 which is $64. And
half of 6432 is some sort of a mathematical thing going on
there. Eric Payne in Lexington, Kentucky, which I think I talked
about Lexington last time if $62 $52.64 and Michael gogos.
Geo gos in Tokyo give us 50 bucks. Now right in the middle
of the week. Two contributions came in Bang Bang one after the
other one from stored Norway, Stieg Helga Vesterheim and one
from Platte City, Missouri, Michael Kearns, and these came
in within minutes of each other. And this is a classic example of
random number theory. These two contributions came in from two
different parts of the world at the exact same time and I could
show you the list of donations $2 $5.81 Did it up, boom, boom,
these 260 $9.69 Two in a row from different parts of the
world right in the middle of the day, Bang Bang right after one
after the other
Bang Bang is appropriate with the suasana enough times for
love it. Thanks so much. Yeah, like that.
Again, the random number theory at work. Anyway, want to remind
people to donate to the show, we do need your help, and we need
it on a weekly basis. And that means going to divorce.org/n A
or the no agenda show.com websites and clicking on one of
the icons that will
pay in this something there's something messed up. I'm not
quite sure how the no agenda show.com website works, but when
it picks up the show notes, it doesn't pick up the links for
some reason. I think
that we had to talk to the web guy I don't think he's I think
he's just cutting and pasting from curry.com which has the
show notes when it links it seems
like an rss problem I thought it was picking it up automatically
through RSS is a Squarespace site and I think that's a module
that he put in there. So we have to check that and because we
might have to ask the Squarespace folks to fix
something.
Yeah, maybe. And but anyway, go to squash go to no agenda.
show.com or dvorak.org/n? A, and that'll take you to the
contribution site. And we'd like to get some more of the $5. I
mean, this is essentially again, parking metre money $5 a month.
You do.
I told you last Sunday, I took my daughter to the movies 25
bucks. And that included, you know, there was two tickets to
cokes and a popcorn. 25 bucks. For one movie.
Yeah, you gotta wait cheap. Yeah. Seriously, I mean, he ate
some of these movies that cost a fortune to get in and out.
Especially if you have a bigger family, like group take for
people. There's 100 bucks gone. And
I do like the fact that a lot of people are taking the the, the
the $1 show now what was it that was the $5 or $1 $1 $5 a
month, which is a pity sensor show.
Right fit no 50 cents a show. And then they started like so
this is episode 133. And actually going back and getting
us 50 cents for each previous episode, which is now somewhere
around 6062 bucks. And I like that that's highly appreciated.
That's a very good way of looking at it. And a lot of
these people actually go back and listen to all episodes
I that frightens me. Yeah.
I can't do that. I
couldn't because I don't understand me. It may be I think
the information that we're providing here, we don't kind of
normally do it. We don't do a lot of MIA culpa. Because we
don't make a lot of mistakes during the show. The research we
do is pretty obscure. The stuff we're looking at is obscure. I
mean, like the algae guy, you know, I mean, who else is
watching C span 10pm. Guys yakking? You know, you have to
be kind of dedicated to do that. And so people out there don't
have to, and we catch a lot of stuff, we miss a lot of stuff.
Obviously, there's only so many things you can talk about. But
the fact of the matter is, I think we dig up a lot of cool
stuff that people can then really, you know, and then we'll
do one thing I was noticing and I think everyone's well I get
some mail to this effect is not so much that even what we're
talking about is that entertaining or interesting? Or
maybe even that, you know, out of the out of the blue, an
ordinary but it at least it shows that when you watch I
think people would like for example, the Katie Couric thing.
I think a lot of you should be paid to
watch the Katie Couric thing. It's just one big ad.
Well, what I'm saying is that I think people are as they listen
to us are trying are getting a clue about how to read between
the lines and how to spot bogus information.
That is that is that is actually something I think it was
Einstein who said that, that when
when you contribute this weekend and
date Einstein, you owe us some big money, dude. No, it was
something to the effect of when you read you read the black
letters, when I read I read the white between the lines or
something like that, I think was an Einstein quote, it could be
wrong not to look it up. But yeah, that's exactly what you
have to do. And I think that if anything, we're helping our
audience, our ever expanding audience, to look through what
the bullshit the matrix of crap that is being thrown out over us
from the fringe media, such as ABC News, and understand what's
really going on. What can I wind up this week with a little bit
of history, John, just for the folks who are interested?
Yeah, if you let me just throw one more out of the blue plug in
there for good for wild, speculative thought, if anybody
out there has been following the story about the Hooker and the
pimp and the acorn, which has been pretty much decimated by
these guys. There's a very good article in the Washington Post,
four pager and online that discusses their backgrounds and
all kinds of interesting little tidbits of information, which
doesn't detract from anything they did. But it does give you a
little more insight into where they're coming from. It's quite,
and they're a very good reporting standard. I don't have
the guy's name in front of me. But I would I should plug him
he's a great writer. That's the
Washington Post. You said, yeah. They're being sued. Acorn is
suing them, by the way for illegal recording. Yeah,
well, good luck with that. Yeah, exactly. You know, all a court
is doing is they're going to turn these guys into not
martyrs, but people who are going to be, you know, targeted
with just huge donations for for Defence Fund is going to just
put them on the map. Good.
So a little bit of history, just to wind that up for today. You
may have seen on the fringe media station, ABC News, that it
is very doubtful that AIG will actually pay back any if all of
the $182 billion that came out of our pockets to bail them out.
A lot of which went by the way went straight to Goldman Sachs
in payments for some of the business that we're doing
together. Do you know the history of AIG, John, because
this is what kind of surprised me when
I know I did what I did once but you can brief me Okay, so
it was founded by a guy named Cornelius Van der Starr with
double R, which is relevant. Along with a guy named James B.
Cummings in 1919. It was known as the American Asiatic East
Asiatic underwriters insurance company in Shanghai, China,
financed by the Asian nations opium trade now in 49 Miles
Dong, basically, you know, brought the liberate near the
People's Liberation Army into Shang chi. And you know, so you
guys, you got to get out, they moved to New York City. And then
they changed the name to AI G. So this is there's some history
here, which goes all the way through his nephew, Cornelius
Van der star's nephew, who do you think his nephew was?
I don't remember Kenneth Starr. Oh, Kenneth Starr, that's
interesting.
A prosecutor who
went absolutely went after
Clinton with tonnes and tonnes of investigation. So when you
start to connect some of those dots, it gets very interesting.
I'm working on it for you.
All right. Well, that will be interesting. If anything comes a
bit
slow. Probably not. We'll probably be off on some tangent
next week. But that's kind of what makes the fun the show so
much.
Well, yeah, but at least we got that restaurant review and so
I'm happy
and and we didn't get breathalyse when we left. Right,
but that can happen. Hey, what were you guys doing in there?
drinkin? Yeah, I'm really sorry. Yeah, I was drinking. Okay, so
we'll do another show for you on Sunday. We back and get my
nation West. There's a registered letter waiting for me
at the post office from the TGTJP A, the translated get out
joint will be interesting because I don't own the property
yet. So but I'll be sure to read that on Sunday. Let you know
what's going on for the eminent domain removal of the minimum
security containment cell. Coming to you from Gitmo nation,
Mideast, the right smack in the middle of it really Times
Square. I'm Adam curry,
and from the northern Silicon Valley confines of the Dark
Knights that have fallen upon us. And John C. Dvorak.
How poetic we'll talk to again on Sunday right here on no
agenda.
