crackpot command center given nation West, the People's
Republic of Southern California. Yay. In the morning, everybody.
I'm Adam curry,
and from Northern Silicon Valley where I had something clever to
say wrote it down and then lost it. I'm John C. Dvorak.
Buzzkill.
do in the morning to John,
in the morning to you Adam curry and all ships at sea and feet in
the air
and congratulations. Oh, PA. you've contributed to a brand
new human resource. You're rich $9.1 million in the family.
We have another $9.1 million member of the extended household
Eric to shill and you can congratulate him people there in
the chat room I had a a French kid somehow owe me all he loves
shoes. Oh really ship meaningless calling Henry but
it's spelled honoree.
Mimi must be beside herself. She must be so happy. Doesn't she
like little
gives her Martin? Doesn't she like babies?
Like little? Goats goats and lambs and stuff and chickens
isn't cheap. We don't have
goats. We you know goats has been on the agenda. And it's
been a it just has not happened. Because I think you need to wall
a man because they jump. I've had goats there. You know you
got goats all over the neighborhood.
Goats are silly pets. They're not very fun. Goats are great.
They
eat everything. No, it's
not. You can't pet them because they run away. You can't ride
them. Trust me, I've tried. I tried to ride my goat.
And if you bend over they give you one right? But
big time and it hurts. And it hurts to add Johnny Boy. Yeah,
well, that's nice. That's we're very happy for you. There's
nothing like the joy of a new child. And I bet you're so happy
you're hundreds of miles away.
Avoiding
you gotta go up though. man. You gotta go up. You got to see the
kid and then when you when you gotta go.
I'm going shortly.
Yeah, today. Aren't you leaving today? I know you I'm
reminded you know this. I think I was suggesting this but no one
wants to listen to me. But their idea.
By the way. Yeah, that's right. No one wants to listen to you.
End of story. Oh. So you got a clip about goats or kids which
will
not kids who didn't know these people. There's a story that ran
it's been running here and there but it's about the genderless
child. Oh, okay. So this family decided to just have a baby and
so they decided to make it genderless so it isn't a stupid
story by the way I think I've I've collected for a long time.
Let's see Romo doo doo doo doo doo well there it is. So I put
ABC News is on it was on ABC network news. That was a big
breaking story I wanted to set this up Okay, before we go on
with anything else but anyway I was on it was on ABC network
news and it's good starts off with this stupid story then it
continues on with it with a with a story about a YouTube video.
This is what network news has come back up become looking for
cute YouTube videos. Anyway, so there's this couple and
apparently this has happened before. It's a fairly long
report but very funny. It there's there's aspects of it
being completely ludicrous because they you know, somebody,
some expert comes in Scible the child may have gender identity
issues. If this continues, and it's like a baby. Let me listen
to the clip set up.
We're going to turn now to a controversial decision by Father
to allow their baby to choose his or her own identity. The
couple won't say whether their new child is a boy or a girl and
they say with good reason, but so many others are not convinced
of this. And here's Lindsey Davis.
A blond haired blue eyed five month old baby named storm. We
know all the basics about this baby except whether it's a boy
or girl, the Canadian couple decided not to share storm sex
because they want to allow the baby to develop without the
constraints of gender stereotypes. It's being kept so
under wraps, not even the grandparents know if they have a
granddaughter or grandson. And ever since they said the gender
of their baby is none of the world's business. Suddenly the
world not only wants to know but feels entitled to criticize
their parenting style. I think it causes a lot of confusion.
Don't you think? For the child baby storm has caused a blizzard
of criticism on the internet where bloggers are saying things
like our kids are now science experiments sad and another
example of where the world is heading. absolute stupidity. But
Kathy Witter ik storms mother is defending their decision to keep
the baby's private parts private. In a letter to ABC
News, she said the strong lightning fast vitriolic
response was a shock, and that storm will need to understand
his her own sex and gender to navigate this world. The outcry
has confirmed it show Kyllo Davis experienced a similar
backlash earlier this year after allowing her five year old son
to dress up as a princess for a preschool Halloween party. But
the big difference in that case, her son made the decision storm
didn't choose to be genderless.
But parents are making huge decisions for this child that
can cause it to be ostracized that can cause it to feel
humiliated to cause it to feel a lot of doubt and uncertainty
about who it is.
This concept dates back to the 70s when x fabulous child's
story appeared in MS magazine. It's a fictional story about a
baby who's raised not as a girl or boy, but as an X, the parents
decide not to tell anyone, whether x is a boy or girl.
Sound familiar.
And Lindsay, who's been covering the stories with us now. And you
were telling me earlier that this is not the first couple to
have done this.
There's actually a couple in Sweden who two years ago got a
lot of publicity for the same thing with a child named pop.
And it's basically the same premise where they don't want
society to assign a gender they want their child to have the
freedom to choose. And it's a couple of years later, do we
know yet? We still don't know what pops gender is all right.
It is provocative.
Lindsey Davis, thanks so much. And when we can, you know,
this is an agenda John. And and I've been seeing this go. This
is two things. One, this, of course, is what the New World
Order elites really want us all to do just to be mindless,
genderless. So human resources. And it's three things actually,
it's a fractal from the 70 story. But more importantly,
it's promotion for Lady Gaga is album born this way. That's what
this story is about. It's it's a promotion for I like that. It's
a promotion for an album. Yeah. Well, that's what she's all
about. She's the same way like the genderless. Yeah, she
has these these kind of mutant dancers, you can't tell whether
they're men or women or what Yeah. And
you open the show with that. That's, that's with an all new
love.
You brought it up by bringing up the baby. Let me bet there's a
couple little things subtle things that are actually more
subtle than the Lady Gaga observation, which I I'm not
going to argue against. I think you may have stumbled onto
something. Yeah. But it for one thing, the arrogance of the
parents, because it goes to the relationships with all their
friends goes like this. Oh, you had a new baby? Is it a boy or
girl, none of your business?
I don't know which candies to put on the rescue with it, or it
shouldn't be pink or blue.
And you have the Ruski issue. And also that during the story,
they they had these cute they had these quotes that they read
these were like quotes from Twitter. When does network new?
I
know I know. They've been they've been reading hashtags.
I'm surprised she didn't say hashtags had it because it's
completely well, Twitter dominated the news, the biggest
distraction of the week.
Yeah, we'll we'll talk about that. Let me I just want to make
a couple more last observations on this. On this particular
story, one that dad has never shown or mentioned. And it
whether he is into this or not, I don't know. But the woman is
very, let's say, diesel, donkey, and the mom. And I suspect that
it's her idea. But whatever the case, the story is just like an
eye roller. And then the analysis of it says, Oh, that
kid can have all kinds of, you know, the kid in Sweden is two
years old. He's still two or she is still two. I mean, you're not
going to have this. If the kid is 13. And this is still going
on, then I'd say yeah, maybe you should address it, but it
doesn't what differs is a Megan boy girl a date. You know,
there's only a convenience at that point, you know, to know so
you can give them the you know, just say they're a boy or dress
woman blue or pink or who knows who cares? Hey, oh, I think this
story is overblown, but I think you're right. It's a
it's a promotion for Lady Gaga. It's nothing else. The whole
androgyny thing. It's blatant.
And so anyway, yes, the number one story and obviously gonna
have to talk about Yeah, we can talk about it before after
mentioning the executive producers. I might want to get
that out of the way first, because Okay,
um, let's do it. Let's do wiener first. And that because the
producers like I don't want anyone feeling like they're
responsible for this. Now, of course, if you watch the news,
or what is called the news, and there's a couple of observations
to be made about this. First so we're talking about Anthony
wiener now we we talked about this early on Sunday, as this
was just we already laughing about it then and I really
didn't expect it to get any play because Anthony Weiner is a
Democrat. Add these Chuck Schumer's boy. But I think that
there's a subtext going on here. And if you and of course most
people will have seen by now if you watch no agenda news
network.com Or if you watch some of the mainstream news, and you
probably saw the CNN pieces, CNN seem to be over this the most.
Where, you know, Anthony Weiner is basically getting into a big
Huff with the CNN reporter and he calls the producer a jackass
like, oh, and they play these endless endless clips. I'm
talking like four or five minutes of this stuff. And they
literally set it up with Wolf Blitzer. Literally setting it up
with this is long, but it's really interesting. And then and
that's bad. Anderson Vanderbilt
never do that. Like I got a joke. That's hilarious. You're
gonna laugh when you hear this one? Yeah, exactly. Never funny.
And then Anderson Vanderbilt 360. Who by the way, you know,
it's like, he's, he is so actually horny about this. You
can just see it. His whole show was about this. This penis
picture. His whole show. I sweat it. Well, yeah. And where's
keeping them honest, the Anderson. He's always like,
we're keeping them honest. But no hard hitting questions here.
So, but here's,
you know, what did you want? I have not seen what I have not
seen the I know it's coming as soon as I suggested somebody
probably go out and do it. I know that when George Bush had
he was doing the debates and he had this thing in his back.
Yeah, that you do photo enhancement using various
filters. You could bring out the details.
Yeah, we say how come no one's done that in Photoshop.
This month?
This Noca which is Swahili for snake. Okay, so So of course we
don't want to replay any of this stuff because it's, I will just
give you my quick I am I do want to play. I got one thing I want
to play but we'll do yours first just let me say this. After
analyzing everything and after wiener came out yesterday with a
whole new strategy and now he can say with certitude what a
great word by the way, I mean of all the words, sir, I can't I
can't say with certitude that it is my my, my my picture.
I don't know what the deal is with
this picture. I'm gonna tell you what happened. It's a picture
was on his BlackBerry and he made a mistake. But instead of
being a man and just owning up to it, he may not have it
doesn't matter who he sent it to whatever. The fact is, he lied.
And then he's backpedaling. And of course, our great technology
press looking at you, John. You know, if everyone is saying, Oh,
we got hacked, Twitter, got hacked. Where's the technology
prison press on the hack ability of Twitter. No one's talking
about that. Where's our great news organization seeing if
Twitter is hackable because, gee, if if we all accept that
Anthony wieners Twitter account was hacked. Well listen
douchebag Andy Carvin maybe all those tweets you're passing on
to our national treasure are hacked as well and aren't
actually from people on the ground in the Arab Spring
I don't think that technology press can be blamed for it
because everybody knows that you can get somebody's password by
you know, various methodologies is not that big of a deal is not
able to exam wasn't technically hacked.
Well. The word hacked is continuously used.
Well actually in the clip I have here you might want to play
which is wiener trying to beg off he kind of discusses the
word hacked in the Wiener versus Bret bear which is a one of the
interviews that was clipped a lot this is the whole interview
which is still clipped but it's longer
we're not going to we're not going to play all four minutes
of this Are you out of your mind
now I just play what you can tell you get sick of where
concerning Wait Wait stop. So I want people to pay attention to
one thing because we're dealing with a major news network what
was their name Fox right listen to the sound on on dead nobody
Mike bear
you know this is interesting because CNN in the beginning had
a problem and had Mike wiener that's very interesting I
noticed this
or that you know what this is the low budget kind of quality
we now get on the network's Yeah,
and when when we clip it it sounds even worse people so
could you please get it together so that we can have quality on
our show?
We're concerned about saying anything definitively you know,
pictures get manipulated pictures get dropped into
accounts. And so we've asked an internet security firm and a law
firm to take a hard look at this and try to come up with a look
alright, look,
yeah, he's completely moved this to well, people always make
jokes about wiener I've grown up with wiener jokes about
what happened and how we make sure it doesn't happen again.
Is there a picture out there of you in your wealth drawers that
you are worried about? You can't defend it? You know, say that?
It's not you? You know, we're here. We've
been seeing them for brief moment You already asked me if
there are pictures of me and my drawers. I mean, look, I want to
invited us here. Well, it varies. You asked to interview
me and I'm doing the interview. You invited
all of the networks here to I assume clear up what was a very
vague and evasive and combative
while working with reporters yesterday and in fairness, I
answered questions about this on Saturday. I answered. I'll
please, I can't listen to this. I've heard all of this a million
times. It's all there. But our listeners make Are you kidding
me? What are they living under a rock? Everyone's heard this.
Okay, so here's
the one do you want to play then? Oh, Riley. Oh, really? Go?
Just plumbing. Can you want us? You want me to just stop
talking? No, I don't have a lot of other clips. I
know. That's what's so sad. I've got tons of other stuff because
I was not being distracted by this.
I was distracted, but I was distracted.
Wow, that's some big penis. I'm distracting. I don't know what.
I don't see what that was big. Like, all I saw was just like, I
don't know what. That's why I would like to see some
enhancement. I don't see a penis in there. Just a lump. Could
have been a sock Done.
Done. You want to see some enhancement? Really? Are you
okay?
You're right. I'm not I don't really want. I would think that
somebody would
have something that's actually interesting about this, but
we'll play your O'Reilly clip is this is another wiener? Isn't?
That No, go ahead. I'm gonna play the replicator
that needs to be set up. So just go on with whatever you got. All
right.
So there is a throwback in all of this. There was a movie, and
I can't and I was hoping you might be able to remember it.
There was a movie in maybe it was the late 70s. And there's
this a woman she she gets into big trouble. She's a government
official. And she's lying about what happened. And it turns out
at the end of the movie, after all of Congress, and everyone
signs off on that's okay. You can tell us who you know, who
blew the whistle on you. We won't, you know, we won't
prosecute this person. It turns out it was their six year old
daughter, what was the name of that movie?
I never heard of such a movie.
I see this. I can't come up with it. So somebody in the chat room
will know. So there was a pretty valid thought out there. That
maybe he was
covering eight year old daughter took the picture. Maybe he was
known that maybe
someone he was covering for someone who did this. They
didn't want to get them involved, which I think is
pretty valid. And Wolf Blitzer of all people in the world
actually asked, Are you protecting someone? His answer
was interesting. But more interesting is is protecting
little Anthony,
this is a big federal issue.
Are you protecting anyone?
Yes, cool.
So who is it? Now this is where it gets interesting,
texting my wife, who every day is waking up to these insane
stories.
So last night, as I was scanning the airwaves, this story had
been edited from its original version. So he talks about Yeah,
I'm protecting my wife. It's really horrible. But what I have
here is the unedited version. Do you know who Anthony wieners
wife is?
Who that are getting so far from reality? You know, we've been
married less than a year to watch her watch these stories,
gets crazier and crazier about what is essentially a prank a
hoax. You know, we knew we went to bed that night, not batting
an eye this this was a goofy thing that happened. She married
a congressman. Okay, she knows a little something about living in
public life. She knows what that goes a certain amount of
aggravation. I don't think she imagined that it would be this
this bizarre stories about people who are connected to me
by eight or nine rings of connection on on social media
and protecting her the best I can. I can handle myself, these
poor people who are getting dragged into this with these
more and more bizarre conspiracy theories. So advertisers
where the Edit occurred on the new CNN store. So here's the
original
when CNN puts this Breitbart gag on and says the most outlandish
thing about complete innocent people. You know, I can take the
flack, but at some point, when I say you know what, I'm not gonna
do any more questions about that? It is to some degree to
protect a certain amount of integrity to all of us that we
aren't in this place that we're constantly having this
conversation about something that was essentially
a prank. I know your wife whom, oh, she's, she's a great lady.
And you're and you're very lucky guy to be married to her and she
works for the Secretary of State has for a long time. How she's
handling all this? Well, she's bemused.
You know, she's got some experience and she's not a
public person, as you know, I mean, she went the entire
campaign in 2008 with probably most Americans not knowing that
she was the traveling chief of staff to to Hillary Clinton.
Now why did they cut that out on CNN? Why did they play five
minutes of bullshit so I'm sorry, excuse me, BS story and
cut out the part where she is currently still working for the
Secretary of State was her chief of staff while she was traveling
during the during the presidential elections, I think
it puts a an angle on this that no one's looked at.
What's the angle though? Tech? No
experts. Tech Tech, no experts. Oh, yeah. He
got me. Tech. No. Yeah, we need to keep that clip handy. Hillary
Clinton's got her techno experts. And as Anthony Weiner
himself said, No, I tweet myself but you know, sometimes we hire
a firm to do mass emails and then they may do so his password
is out there. Okay. This is no hack. His password is out there.
Many people have it. Hillary Clinton State Department, she
has technical experts. They know how to do this stuff. So maybe
it was an inside prank. Like let's mess with the boss or
let's mess with someone else. Because you know the reason this
this was edited out of the all subsequent airings of this is
because Clinton's called the Clinton Call them today. I don't
want to be any part of this. Bill Clinton, by the way,
presided over their wedding. Anthony Weiner and, and his and
his wife. Well, let's
put it this way. He's got his ticket in the ringer. Everybody.
Alright, let's thank some people who are probably going to be
very embarrassed to be producers of the show. At least the
opening? Not necessarily. You're right. We
got some good stuff coming up.
Yeah, we got to two executive producers and to Associate
Executive producers for today's show debate. And actually,
curiously, and what's weird is that these two execs, executive
producers are both members of the 309 Club and the curious
part is, is that they that those donations came in almost
simultaneously.
You know, it's nice that people are back on the club numbers
because we hadn't had that for a while and
remember, it's a good number. Yeah, we
have 333 coming up everybody 309 or club I might point out.
So we have Serge Jordi Ramirez from Cancun. Yo live in the life
of Riley hi again from Nitin get mo nation taco the donations in
commemoration of his 35th birthday and he needs his ring
size change the 9.5 is that big? Well I don't you know, that's
the funny thing. I see all these ring sizes and I don't
think any wiener size isn't.
Sander Sandy Hook her sir Senator Sanders sounders are
Samandar Hawkesbury. Bargain. Hawks. Barragan Yeah. 309
members, row nine club just support the fantastic show.
Thanks. And then we have a couple of Associate Executive
producers and Manuel lo CA, in Brossard, Quebec,
a new listener I see a new donor, a new
donor, not too keen on letting Pay Pal draw money weekly
monthly on my account, so I'll try to contribute every once in
a while wish somebody would do the same as you do here in
Quebec. In the meantime, here are the ones getting my donation
wish I wish somebody would do the same. Oh, I see. In other
words, they I guess please keep up the good work. PS I'm highly
critical of some of your views but open minded enough to hear
them out in His Word $233.33 Apparently to, to disagree. Sim,
excuse me for interrupting I'm reliably reliably informed that
Ms. McKee has size eight. So size 9.2 Whatever for a guy is
not all that big.
Okay, all right. Tim which and ski and Elkins vest Virginia
random hillbilly which is what is the rule of section 215
donations that you cannot discuss the name of the person
giving the donation Well, I'm sorry that wasn't but that's the
second time we've called random hillbilly by some crazy polish
or Yeah, we will just keep doing those. Those are our executive
producers for show 309 job
so the big news of course is that today not only did the Eric
the she'll receive a new human resource, but the night and Dame
rings should be in today, which is very exciting. So we should
have pictures and stuff and and he'll be sending them out as
soon as the the early morning feeding is done. Yeah. Then we
have a number of domain name forwards that were always highly
appreciative of and of course now we are collecting these a
Simon Reed is keeping this all together@domains.na shownotes.com
These are domain names that forward to no agenda show.com
Osama bin Laden DNA test.com Which I thought was kind of
nice. This week in douche.com. I feel the whole network coming
on. As you know we have this week in tech this week in Google
This Week in Startups that now there's a new show this weekend.
douche.com Screw What is this? How does this screw the I don't
even know how I pronounced this. Oh screw the system dot info.
Okay. Got that one? Yeah, those are the domain name forwards.
There's a couple things I wanted to mention. One. We had, we have
an ongoing design challenge for the show notes and the domain
registry as it were@domains.no na shownotes.com. If you're any
good at CSS, just go to the show notes. Today we'll be 309 or.na
show notes.com. And you can actually design that. Did you
see the 308 design job? You see what the what? What was done
there? No. Oh, well, we got a in honor of the WW. DC Developers
Conference in for Apple, we have a Steve Jobs theme for 308 dot
na shownotes.com. I forget who has podcast licensed.com. But
got an idea. I think you and I were talking about it after the
show that I actually discussed this with. With my my partner in
crime, who was at the beginning of the creation of podcasting
who's such a controversial statement. Dave Winer, he says
he doesn't want any part of any,
any part of any part of it. I said, forget it.
We're the ones that could hand out the podcast licenses. And I
don't like asking for money from people. And I said,
it doesn't do anything like that. I said, you know, when you
surprise me at all, once
you get over that hump, it's not that hard. So I'm thinking, why
don't we actually do that? If the person who owns podcasts
licensed.com Could does shoot me an email? Then I need to have a
record setup. And I think we should we should sell podcast
licenses. Maybe $33. John, is
that a reasonable price range? $3.33? Yeah,
I think there'll be a reasonable price. And you will put your
name right there on the page as an official licensed podcaster.
So when it comes around, and you have to have show up? Yeah,
because excuse me, it's right here. It's documented. I have a
podcast license. I'm licensed to podcast.
Yeah, and all the 10 podcasters that listen to our show all
these licenses.
Now we have extremely exciting news. And even though it is not
on the spreadsheet, there will be a knighting today. Although
it's a Dane, John, I think you probably caught this somewhere
because the Twitter's were more or less rampid with the
information. Maggie Vincent from Virginia has kindly offered her
30 foot RV for the Gitmo nation. Hot Pockets, no agenda tour.
This is the part where you get really excited.
That's great.
Deck. What do you mean this is great. That's fantastic.
I just said what did I say? Nothing. You just want to just
assume that I'm like Dutch.
So we I were just blown away. She said look, I have this thing
it says from 2003. It's completely perfect working order
only like 10,000 miles on it. She said I'm not using it this
summer. Feel free to come pick it up. And so in Virginia,
Fredericksburg
and you'd have to fly so you what you would do is fly to
Virginia. Yeah, we're gonna fly to Virginia and you get picked
up by someone.
Well, Maggie says we'll pick you up. Yeah, no, no, no, no, the
sequence is not quite right. We fly there. She says then we'll
have a hot tub and martinis party to kick it off. Then we
want a hot tub and martinis. Apparently she's got a hot tub.
Yeah, I would make sure you get photos here.
She's assist. Oh, by the way, just to complete my theory.
She's a sysadmin. Okay, Suzanne, save the world once again. So
Maggie is kindly and you can find her and follow her at
Maggie Vincent, on on Twitter. And so we're we're, as you can
imagine, extremely excited about this. She also thinks we should
name it the hot pockets 2008 tour. So she's a true listener
when you come up with something like that.
So we got a fine. Here's our next little challenge mini
challenge. We got to find someone who has a shop, a retro
graphic shop, because that's what you want. You want a retro
graphic, we have to buy this but retro graphics are the guys who
make the big giant posters in the billboards. We need to bend
they can make a vinyl, temporary stick on vinyl, kind of a poster
for the side of the thing that can be just removed when you're
done so you're not painting the thing or destroying it says
something like the way Sarah Palin has done with one of these
reparable graphic operations where it's not her face or her
van. That van that she's got she's got a van very you got a
van very soon. similar to the one you're you're in, it's not a
van. Dude. It's a 30 foot RV with brown and gray water,
whatever that means. But we have, we have to look
at 120 foot bus. But besides the point, yeah, he's got this huge
bus with Sarah Palin graphics all over it, which was really
nicely done. And because you have to realize that this, put
this stuff on these on these, you see it on buses,
I think we should have a big picture of Anthony wieners
boxers on the side.
I think, you know, I think it's such a big photo, if it maybe
was enhanced. So anyway,
it gets CSI arm at the end. We'll get one of those.
Absolutely. We'll get we'll get one of those.
with it. No agenda. show.com Yep, very, that's got to be the
biggest thing. And that would be on the side. And then you off.
Off you go. Yeah.
So obviously, when you look at value for value, this is huge.
So I think we may even have to make her a bareness and not and
not just a dame, what do you think?
I think that's probably not a bad idea, or High Priestess is
another give her the state and she'll have the state of
Virginia at the state of you know,
what will make her a Baroness and she gets the state of
Virginia. Okay. Now, on that note, Miss Mickey and I today
initiate our test. We have rented a 27 foot RV. We're
picking it up today. And we leave either tonight or early
tomorrow morning. And we're not quite sure which direction we're
going. But we will drive
to Palm Springs. I
keep telling funny you say that because the idea is to go to
Palm Springs then loop back through Death Valley. And
Sunday, and Sunday morning, Sunday morning, the show will
emanate from the test vehicle. So you know this is a full on
test to see how everything works. Now we got to get our
feet wet and driving and understanding this gray brown
water thing. So I have to say I'm
definitely, I'm so excited about that. So well. You'd be
surprised how much brown water those things will carry. So let
me just put a make a point here for you. I took one of these
things on a very long trip with the wife and kids. And I would
say that after about a week being on the road and one of
these little devices, which is the one I had was like similar
to the size you're getting yours. It might be a little
bigger. It's pretty big that 130 foots pretty huge. And man,
imagine that 30 foot yacht is reserved. Yeah, it's been large.
This is a long thing. You buy about eight hour, day eight, day
nine. I'm guessing I could be wrong. You'll become an
tableaus. Well,
every step of this trip is I know every step of this trip is
going to be documented. Eric the shield will be the back office,
you'll be able to follow our GPS track which will be delayed. So
we don't like you know, we also want to have some privacy
so we don't have enemies of the show.
Enemies of the show coming to kill us. But what's really nice
is since this news of the Hot Pockets vehicle has come out
we've received even more invitations and remember you can
email mickey@curry.com mlck why she's the keeper of the of all
the info of the trip. And here's just one that she forwarded to
me from Mike from weight former a wage slave formerly known as
Mike from Colorado. And he's he's welcoming us to his home.
By the way everyone says, you know, park in my driveway, steal
my Wi Fi swapped my wife. I mean, all this great stuff is
coming up. Denver, of course home of the Denver Federal
Center. Suppose a new headquarters the CIA as a
federal employee, I have access. Would you like it to her? Also
the telecom building at 14th Street good tour, yeah, at 14th
street and Champa in downtown routes nearly all internet
traffic to the west coast through the Midwest, it's been
said that that building were to be destroyed, most of the
western United States would lose all internet access. So we're
probably going to go visit Mike but it's really really nice
everywhere in the country. People are offering hospitality
and we really look forward to it. And of course, we we will
need continuous support for the show. As as we roll throughout
the Gitmo nation states if there's any ideas that you have
in regards to that. Those are also welcome. So just very
excited, and it's going to be great and we're also going to do
a Mickey's gonna do a photo book which if we can find a
reasonably inexpensive way to produce it we'd love to Dinah
call the ring guys so you they can help
now ring guys forget them we'll find some there's a lot of good
book printers in China. Quick pointed does all the all the
books now all those photo books that you're talking about from
China, all done in China
like the Tashan book. So those were done in China. I don't
know, are they? I don't know. That's what I'm asking. Because
they set it up. They got like the big buck books 65 bucks. How
can you make that book for 65 bucks, I don't understand that
it's made in China, right? programming note Tuesday 11am.
Get my nation West time on the stream, write it down in your
calendar. I will be interviewing presidential candidate Gary
Johnson on the show, I guess. Someone from his camp heard us
talking about it, and got in touch with me and said, hey,
we'd love to have the governor of New Mexico on the show. I
said, Well, he's not going to be on the show. But here's what
we'll do. We'll we'll talk for as long as the Governor has
time, like we did with Ron Paul at the time, and will stream it
live. And we might use a clip or two from the show. But we'll
also put the show the interview out as a as a full podcast. So
hey, man, I think that's kind of interesting. And so
people have to realize we don't do guests on the show. We don't
we don't just two guys talking.
But I think it'll be well, it'll just be me and Gary Johnson
talking, which I think will be fun.
Well, I want you to I, you know this, I want you to watch that
as a whole show. If you can talk to him for two and a half hours.
Hey, could you just send him the bail? You bring some clips of
clips and bring a slide whistle.
And one of these things you're,
you're hired
to be fun. Yeah. And if you got any questions, yeah, emailed to
me. And I, you know, you know how I do interviews, I just ask
the guy question, let them talk. I'm not going to force him and
I'm going to be confrontational. All I want to know is how he's
going to pay for it all. I'm gonna take some money from some
banks, like Obama, when are you gonna do it? Well, if you if you
serious about this, give
it out to everybody. They don't they're they're not they don't
show real favoritism until near the end when they know who's
gonna win. Boom.
So support for the show is extremely important. We'll be
talking later in our donation segment about a new development
with our other national treasure PBS to show you just how
important it is that we continue to be able to do this work
without commercial interruption or commercial corruption, as it
were. And the place to do that, of course is vo red.org/and A so
we highly appreciate the support from our Associate Executive
Producers Emanuel Lozi. A random hillbilly and of course our
executive producers and 309 are club members are Jody Ramirez
and Sir Sandra hawks, Barragan both of you and our social
executive producers all four of you can put this on your
stationery you can put it on your IMDB account anywhere you
want. It's an official credit. It is there's nothing less
official. Hello, everybody. There's nothing. What am I
trying to say?
What are you trying to say? It's just
as official as a Hollywood credit. It's a real Hollywood.
Screw you by telling you. We never heard of you.
Yeah, no, well actually vouch for you. That's the whole idea.
Everybody else out there. What you can do to support is
propagate the formula. Our formula is
this. We go out. We hit people in the mouth
and say loud and proud, everybody.
So Lucifer wasn't in Paris, Lucifer, oh, why
are she needed a trim?
And she's wearing this outrageous yellow outfit. Our
dear Lucifer, Hillary Clinton. And, you know, I love it when,
when she goes on tour, and she does interviews with foreign
press. Because that's when she starts to you know, get kind of
like, she slips up a little bit, you know, and she says, she
thinks just like nobody's paying attention. Exactly. And she's
always she's in the mood. She's in France, shopping, buying
shoes, getting her hair done in a new dress.
Well, that's not true. That's not true. It's not true. She has
no time. So she's interviewed by
walking around. She's on the shop, Sally's ze she
got a couple of different clips here, which is just as to
hilarious. She was interviewed by this gorgeous woman from NTF.
Oh, I guess, which is the French television and the woman who's
gorgeous that the Russians could take note for Russia today. But
she's got to get their act together. She literally in the
interview, went like Hillary would answer a question, then
it'd be like a three second pause. The woman would look down
at her paper and read the next question and then look up. It
was like, wow, really? So But Hillary actually, she threw
another one at us. Now she's if you're in Paris, you're in
Perry. You know that with all the elites. You must talk like
the elites. What do you call it when? When You fly a mission
with with jets. What does that called? It's not a sort of
mission
sorting story. Yeah, it could be a story. No, you're wrong.
And the ability to withstand the pounding they took from
Qaddafi's forces in Misrata was a real turning point. And we
believe that with the increased military tempo that has been
going on in the United States still flies 25% of every day's
sorties. So we're
saute. It's this sort. Tay Tay
it's a saute. Oh, really, Lucifer is a sore Tay. So of
course, with every interview, the question pops up the number
one question because this is all these idiots can ask is about
this picture, the picture of you in the Situation Room, but the
picture, so she keeps changing her answer. What have we heard
so far about the picture? We've heard she had to cough. We heard
she had to sneeze. We heard she had to yawn. What? We've heard
every single variation from her yawn was ours. Okay, but cough
and sneeze. And the only consistent part of her answer is
that it was 38 minutes. 38 minutes, it was the most intense
38 minutes. Well, she has a new variation of the answer. And by
the way, now now now she's she's hanging out in body and I have
my yellow, my yellow outfit on and
about some abandonded. Can I show you this picture? You know,
it's in the situation.
I didn't know it's being taken
at the time. I saw the picture was taken at the time, the sort
of thing.
I saw it later. So you are holding your hand in front of
your mask? Yes. You
think at that moment who you pride in? What did you see? What
do you what did you see,
I don't I don't know how to describe it other than it was a
very intense period. The operation went on for 38
minutes. And we all as you can look at the expressions on
everyone's face had been working on this with a very small group
of top officials. for months and months. Then it was out of our
hands, the very well trained Special Forces, Navy SEALs,
we're going to carry out the mission. And it was a breath
holding moment.
She's holding her breath. This is a new one,
John, for 38 minutes.
She can do that, by the way.
She's no way she's holding. There's something about that 38
minute meme that I'm not sure about. But it's bullcrap.
Because the more most of you say, well, was a good half hour,
or was a half over and a half hour. Why would it be so
suspicious? Two
reasons. Two reasons. First of all, if you add three plus
eight, it's 11. So what's the magic number? Second of all, I'm
sure that somewhere in the timeline, and we'll probably see
this in the future, there will be a reason because someone
wasn't there or someone had to be somewhere or there's someone
who has to be placed at a certain time somewhere. That's
why the 38 this is what always happens in the novels. So
somewhere in the script, this comes back this 38 minutes as
you watch that and put it in your book. Put it
gently Yeah, I'm gonna grab the Little Red Book of predictions.
Yes. Meanwhile, while you write that down, let us just to hear
my damn Lucifer kitan talking about how much she loves Pat is
and and oh, she has no time in America. Oh, you know, I think
you are our oldest Hold on a second. That was the wrong one.
This is about this is a good one, too. This is about do we
have a problem with the French because the French are all angry
about Afghanistan. Now I'll remind you, I'll remind you.
What did we when the French were like bulking in Afghanistan?
What did we do in this country? We renamed french fries to
freedom fries. Can Can you Can y'all remember that? We don't
like the French. Do we? John? Do we have like some
Valley traditionally, politically don't like the
French?
Oh, are you nuts? That's not what Ilan. He condoned says,
America
is broken. Oh, you know, I think you are our oldest ally. Ally.
You were there for us back in the Revolutionary War. And
there's wonderful reports from the French court by Benjamin
Franklin. And then our revolutions were within years of
each other our commitments to human rights and human freedom.
Our aspirations are, are so common. No two people agree on
everything and certainly no two great nations can agree on on
everything but the relationship between France and the United
States is deep, broad, enduring and we One that I highly value.
Yes, look, I did not even shave my armpits. Just because I love
you so much France. What a bunch of hooey. That's not true.
I'm surprised that the French somebody in the French said
didn't call them on that. Freedom Fries bull crap.
Well, it's so obvious. And then so she lets a couple things slip
up. So Christine Lagarde, my, my obvious choice as per the
prediction book for a head of the IMF.
What you mean that's the one for that? What's your name again
from Egypt? Is that what you just said is prediction of
yours?
So I changed my prediction I'm allowed to change my prediction.
I did that last time I said please change the prediction.
Rob to the Egypt but you did not mention this
race. What are you talking about? I sent this two shows ago
I said I dropped Egypt and I said look garden is in because
she's running. She ran a law firm in Chicago. You don't
recall that whole conversation? I remember
that. But I don't remember it being an official prediction is
not in the book. Okay.
Well, and whatever. So but she's a and and here's why.
So let's talk about the French woman yesterday, Christine
Lagarde said she was candidate of a managing the IMF. Do you
know? And do you think she has necessarily experienced that
job? And she
has set up? Of course, it's
set up, that's why she's in he wouldn't be
a good candidate, because she's a woman. But yes, because she's
a woman.
This is sexist, and this is pissing me off? Well, I actually
know her I admire her. I saw her last night at a dinner that I
hosted for all of the ministers attending the OECD 50th
anniversary. And I told her privately and I said publicly at
a press conference earlier today, that the United States
has not taken an official position. Obviously, other
candidates may come forth. But speaking unofficially. And
personally, I am a strong supporter of qualified woman,
women, of which she is certainly one being given the
opportunities to lead international organizations. So
I wished her well last night and I will be watching closely as
this unfolds,
right? So she's in she's in your right total setup question she's
in. So now that's
because they had a French person in before and they gotta get the
they were promised so much time in that job. And they have
rousted him and they got to put another French person and it
just so happens to be a woman so they get that little icing on
the cake? Well,
it's not noticed the United States is not protesting at all
because she is a shill for the United States. She ran the
Chicago law firm. Well, apparently
the other guy was to everybody is
She's a better show. Maybe. So now, she contradicts the
Secretary General of NATO. This is the one that I found very
interesting about boots on the ground in Libya.
Does it mean that we are now close to fighting on the ground?
And when America committed troops? Is it France and Great
Britain coming to ground findings?
We will not commit any troops but I don't believe that either
France or Great Britain are committing troops by adding if
they do these attack helicopters.
Really, there's no we're not we're not doing any troops will
here's what the Secretary General says.
NATO and partners have just decided to extend our mission
for Libya for another 90 days. This decision sends a clear
message to the Gaddafi regime. We are determined to continue
our operation to protect the people of Libya, we will sustain
our efforts to fulfill the United Nations mandate. We will
keep up the pressure to see it through. Our decision also sends
a clear message to the people of Libya, NATO, our partners to the
whole international community, stand with you. We stand united
to make sure that you can shape your own future. And that day is
getting closer.
So on the same day, the Secretary General says this
these news reports come out Help
is on hand. Evidence for the first time have allied boots on
the ground. Here a group of armed foreigners possibly
British seen liaising with the fighters, it could be to
facilitate forthcoming helicopter attacks. The men left
horridly when they spotted us
so their boots on the ground attack helicopters really you
tell me you're telling me there's no boots on the ground,
but you've got helicopters flying around? This is
ridiculous. You can't do this that makes no sense. Helicopters
are meant to land. You know, that's the whole point is they
can land in small, confined reasonably confined areas. Of
course, this is boots on the ground that dropping the boots
in with the helicopters,
I think has already been reports of that. Yeah, but now they're
okay. Right So Clinton says one thing and these guys say another
it's not supposed to be our operation anymore anyway.
Yeah. Well, it is. You know Dominic Smith con. Just to come
back to him. There's, there was a there's two theories floating
out there right now. One is crackpot one is actually pretty
damn good.
crackpot one first,
okay, the crack the crackpot one is that I like this is that
Dominic. So the IMF deals in a lot of gold. And they started a
gold selling program in 2010. They were going to sell several
tons of gold. And they sold it to all kinds of countries. And
they run a lot of their operation based on gold. And
apparently, so this gold, of course, comes from countries who
are members of the IMF. Apparently, the United States
had committed as per the Second Amendment of the articles of
agreement of the IMF 191.3 tons of gold to be sold, but they
keep stalling delivery of the gold. And so the crackpot theory
is that Dominique Strauss Kahn discovered through a couple of
whistleblowers within the US government, that there is no
gold that they can't deliver the gold. And he was on his way to
get out of the country
quickly to go run out of tungsten or what tongs Well,
yeah,
exactly that it well, we know that there's a lot of tungsten
gold floating around. And that that's why they nabbed him. And
then of course, you probably heard about this Egyptian
banker, who is the exact same thing happens to him. He's in a
hotel room in New York. Now he apparently is. He was supposed
to go get go back to New York and retrieve the evidence or the
details or whatever it is of this, of this gold that can't be
delivered because we no longer have gold in Fort Knox. Which by
the way, no one is allowed to see anymore. You know, there's
no, there's no audit of the gold at Fort Knox. And so this guy
has exactly the same thing happened. He has a he has a
chambermaid that he sexually assaults. The only difference is
this guy is a 74 year old, devout Muslim, which is kind of
a little weird when you think about him doing the same as
Dominique Strauss Kahn. So that's kind of the crackpot
theory. Here's the theory that I
not much of a theory this guy was arrested. No, but the theory
is that it's about the US not being able to deliver the gold
and that this guy wanted to pop it on everybody and and have the
evidence let everybody No, the US doesn't have the gold. Well,
it's you know, more interesting is and Abel and Cain story. He
has a brother, Mark Oliver Strauss Kahn, who is a senior
adviser to the Federal Reserve, not actually a He is the senior
adviser to the Federal Reserve, he works for the World Bank. And
the theory on this is and there's an excellent story that
the slog wrote and I'll put a link to his his blog in the show
notes at no agenda show.com and a show notes.com. His entire
theory is that this is a move by his brother to get his older
brother Dominique Strauss Kahn out of the picture for him to
take over. And Abel and Cain, I think that is actually viable.
I liked the first theory better the gold.
It couldn't be, you know, we don't know there's it's
certainly not a coincidence what I want to happen here. But those
are the two theories. And I'm following up on both and the
gold is a little hard. But you know, there's there's been
several calls for an audit of Fort Knox to go and see the gold
but when's the last time that happened? Like the 70s Didn't
they didn't they open it up? And people were allowed to go down
and look at the gold and they go who looks like gold to me? Then
that happen then the 70s
Well, you know, you could make a fake exhibition of the gold. I
don't know why they don't do that if this theory is correct,
because now everyone knows about tungsten and be like I drill a
hole in that. Let me just see what's inside of there. I mean,
let me do a little sample.
That's not true. The number of people that know about the
tungsten scam is very small. I think our listeners and a few
other people that general public gone down to Fort Knox and look
at the goal aren't going to bring it up.
Yeah, but it wouldn't just be general public it would be
people who know what they're doing. It's it I'm not a camera
on it. I'm not putting me on
record Okay, I'll drill a hole in it and have that happen real
golden it it's not that hard to fake it.
Well, then why don't they just do that?
That's what I'm asking you.
Yeah, well, I don't know. I think we deserve to see our
gold.
I mean, if they're going to scam us out of the gold, which is
what the theory how the theory has it you think at least they'd
have a phony baloney show they could put on a dog pony show.
Yeah, maybe there's not enough. Maybe they're just like we don't
have enough to play. You say it's like hello, hello. Hello.
It's completely Knox now being used as an echo chamber. It's
completely possible. Disco.
Hello, everybody. Welcome to the fortnight Hello everybody. I'm
Brock, your DJ, welcome to the fourth box disco. And now the
Sugar Hill gang. I can just see him doing that now. Baroque
sport knocks disco 2008. Yeah. Did you see what the president
did on Memorial Day? I'll take that as a no, no, this was not
reported.
So firstly, for good reason. Yeah, yeah.
So you know, I take Memorial Day pretty seriously. You know, it's
not to me like unlike most Americans, unfortunately, it's
not a day to go get a good deal on a car. Or, or, you know, just
get hammered at a barbecue. But it's a day to remember is
started initially with the Civil War, you know, to remember the
fallen soldiers.
Memorial Day began with the World War. One is Armistice Day
and turning the Memorial Day and actual the Civil War
celebrations are all became all you've morphed into
Thanksgiving. It is
seen more as Armistice Day. But if you consult the book of
knowledge Wikipedia on this, you'll see that it actually
started after the Civil War. But let's say World War One that
makes more sense. But you do and thank you, I can hear you
consulting the book
of knowledge I am.
But for obvious reason, considering my family history
and the service that my family has provided you I think about
that, and you know, I don't mind having a barbecue and slap Max
brewskis. But I think about the Fallen men and women and we've
had to several 1000 in the past 10 years who have died
protecting what they believe is our country. But of course, it's
really protecting the interests of the Millett military
industrial complex. So I have extra thinking to do about how
horrible that is. So the President, of course, does his
little wreath laying at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier there in
Arlington Cemetery. And then he goes off and plays golf.
He could have done it, he becomes such an avid golfer.
I mean, he there's so many things he could have done. He
could have spent the day with veterans, he could have mowed
the lawn for somebody. You know, what Joe Biden suggested is a
million things the President could have done. Now he like,
Michelle? Yeah, gotta lay that reefer and get into quick nine.
And then it goes off and he plays golf. It's just, it's
wrong. And of course, no one reported on this. You did? Well,
that's what people tuned into.
reported on or you wouldn't have found out about it.
And well, I have my sources. We have no agenda news network.com.
He went to Fort Belvoir golf course.
And he's in the neighborhood.
It's Memorial Day. There's so much
I know he's going to be playing golf as the president on his
course. And it's an honor to go to Coney Island.
Yay. It's it's an insult. The guy goes off. And I mean,
there's so many things he should have done. I feel as our
commander in chief who puts he commands people and puts them in
harm's way. And we got to play some golf.
I tell this irked you. Yeah, I'm gonna
throw a shoe at him. Yeah, that did hurt me. Are you kidding me?
It's very irksome. And I think I think, I hope, mainstream media.
You know, there's some interesting studies done
recently, and the mainstream media is just very Democrat.
They don't want to criticize the president, and they don't want
any Republicans to get any ink. And they slant the news, and I
think has been well documented. And so this kind of thing
doesn't show up anymore.
Yeah, it's it's a travesty. Pure travesty. So after the show on
Sunday, was it Sunday? Yeah, the last show? Indeed. Yeah.
Literally, as I was rolling out, Mr. Oil show, the power went
out. And it went out. countrywide. No, it didn't hold
on. Spotted but countrywide. It was out in Austin. It was out in
Detroit. It was out in multiple places in Los Angeles. It was
out in Canada that Toronto, Quebec. Multiple power
facilities went down all on Sunday. But the crazy thing is
this happened around I don't know wasn't Mr. Oil show it
happened, it happened around 330. But at two o'clock, I got
that crazy app on my Android which measures solar flares. And
I keep seeing classy solar flares, which aren't all that
big a deal. You know, like a one, two or three or whatever.
But at three o'clock, I got word 245. I got this 8.7 Class C
solar flare. And then 45 minutes later, we get this crazy wind
and it's like really weird storm. And then the power goes
out for two hours. And of course, the only place I can go
is stupid Twitter, which is pathetic. You know, it's
Memorial Day weekend. I'm trying to figure out what's going on
not a single news organization. Local Los Angeles is even
reporting on it because they're all drinking beer and playing
golf with the President. But I just want to get some news on
this you call the LA DWP? They're like you know, give us
our your can number whatever the hell that is. Customer Access
nunchuck number nine, which I know Yeah, I just want to know
what's going on. Well, they answered me. You know what
happened? This is the most insulting thing. Turns out
squirrels were biting through the aluminium near the Burbank
power station and that's why the power went out
Oh, really? Squirrels scores your sound effect. It's gone.
For some reason my squirrel sound effect is gone. But how
lame is that? They're going to
tell it does happen a lot. Oh, please squirrels? Yeah, no
squirrels are a big plague in fact, I was talking to a guy
power guy it's more of a problem less with the power guys than it
is with the with the telecom guys because typically a
squirrel gets a little nip or something and yeah, he's just
electrocuted. But with the guise of the phone system the
squirrels eat through the wires and they just keep eating. In
fact, I was told a story the fascinating story personal
anecdote here about the fact that in California they Pacific
Bell but when they were running a Dave they've been trying to do
something about squirrels eating through the through the phone
lines for years and so they decided to put to develop a
plastic but it's laced with capsicum capsicum capsicum is
the vital ingredient in a hot chili pepper. Okay, and so they
made this extremely hot chili flavored plastic. And it turned
out that the squirrels got a taste for it. Oh, no, they love
it. So they so they started eating even more because they
you using it as spice for the nut side? Yes. I have no idea.
So but it's a it's a problem. Squirrels are a problem now
whether they would cause in a power outage in a all over the
country is highly unlikely is my point.
Like that's the only thing you can come up with? Is squirrels.
That mean solar flares can be a real problem, can't they? John?
I mean, that's that's a real issue.
Yeah, but I'm trying to get the time because I think when a soil
solar flare, now does Appa yours? Does it tell you when the
flare occurs? Or when it starts or when the effect begins?
Because there's a distance between the Earth and the Sun is
long enough that a solar flare? I don't think it's a 45 minute
travel time,
because the longer or shorter? I think it's longer. Um, it
basically is alerts from some government organization. Isn't
it NASA or No, a or something? I
don't know. I don't know what this app is. I've never seen it.
And I don't know why anyone would have it on their phone. By
the way.
Someone Someone suggested one of our producers suggests that I
have it on my phone. For this very reason. He said we're gonna
get a lot of solar flares. A lot of weird stuff is gonna happen.
NASA has been warning about communications going out because
of solar flares them and that's official. We talked about it on
the show.
Yeah, well, that's been going on forever. Right. And it does
happen. I don't think it's as bad as it used to be because
most of these, you know, satellites and everything have
been hardened against such events. And they also turn the
satellite around. I mean, I think there's so much time to
you know, for example, the satellite folks, if the solar
flare happens and is starting to head toward Earth, they can
actually take the satellite and they reposition it, they turn it
so it doesn't show the vital parts of it don't get wiped out
by the flare because these things are expensive. And so
there's enough time to do that.
Not everybody can do that. Not everyone sucks. I mean, there's
a lot of junk up there.
Yeah, but I'm talking about the expensive you know,
communication stuff that we need to bomb people. And the
important thing is, you know, the bomb oriented
here's the crazy thing. So that night, so of course you know we
had to do our hair without hair dryers and stuff. Oh, no real
emergency. We had dinner with our power lesbian friends power
lesbian couple friends,
but did they provide power for the lights?
Yes, just by rubbing sticks. together. But you know, they're
high powered members of society. And so we're having dinner and
I'm like, Yeah, this solar flare stuff. And one of them turns to
me and says, Are you sure it wasn't an EMP strike? Are you
kidding me? So we're propagating the formula and doing well.
EMP strike.
I couldn't believe she said that. Like really? Is. So so my
squirrel jingle is gone. What do you mean it's gone? You know, I
hear I am ready to talk about squirrels and then all of a
sudden has gone.
Really? Yeah. Ah, well, you know, as reclip it it's, it's
right in the eye of that movie on a DVD. I can clip it for you.
I know that but it's kind of irritating. Oh, thank you very
much. Gitmo slave.
Somebody just sent it to you. Of course.
You kidding me? These are people, man. Oh,
there we go. There you go. Got it back. So I've found two memes
floating around. And one of them was pointed out by a listener.
Okay. And I didn't even think about it as a meme. We've talked
about it and talked about it and talked about it, but we never
declared it to be a meme. We we just declared it was part of a
scheme to be like, you know, regulate the internet, which
seems to be going full steam ahead. Remember podcast?
licensed.com If anybody hasn't noticed, we should always have
the internet license. While we're at it. Why don't somebody
get internet? license.com? Yeah, it's a good one. Because that
way everybody could buy that instead of the 10 podcasters
that we're gonna end up selling these these things to as a joke.
It's not it's a real Hey, it's a real license. Okay. We are we
are qualified as
real as the knighthood so to where we have the why not? Yeah.
Nothing wrong with that. I think anyone can do these
things. Internet licensed.com. I'm sure that's available. All
right.
Maybe. So I would also call it an AI license. Somebody that I
licensed?
No, because Apple will come and sue us. Before
they have a naked weekend.
They own the letter. I
dude, forget about it. And I go with it. i There's plenty of
odd. Yeah. Anyway, so the meme is just the meme itself. It's
hacker girl really seen it with Anthony wiener and that hacker
hacker hacker and you've got this long definition he talks
about with a clip that you didn't play. And he's a hacker
hacker hacker thing. So I have like a definitive classic
version of this hacker meme floating around. from CNN with
Candy Crowley and
visitors to the PBS website so has shocking story claiming that
the late rapper Tupac Shakur for dead almost 15 years is alive
and living in New Zealand. The fake article was the work of
hackers, who also posted sensitive PVS information. They
say they were motivated by a recent frontline episode about
Bradley Manning, the US soldiers suspected of leaking government
secrets, anti
hacking thing is out of control.
And you know, it's pretty kind of scary when you think that
people's personal information also was posted online as well
wasn't just getting into a company things
they say well, nothing really essential was, you know, was
gotten by the hackers but you know, the day is common. Now,
okay, somebody please. Very,
very good, John. So let's let's put let's connect the dots for a
second. Let's say Anthony Wiener, connected to Lucifer
Clinton State Department with techno experts who desperately
want a harmonization of the the Budapest Convention, which
essentially no literally states, you can't disparage anyone
online. They desperately want to propagate the hacker meme so
that we have a reason to go arrest people because you're a
hacker, which that name by the way is changed just the way gay
change hacker used to be someone who just hacked around in code,
and wasn't really a struct didn't take a structured
approach to programming computer programming. So what if this
meme needed to be propagated because it was not working as
people are not afraid? People are not afraid of, of hackers
taking their personal data people just aren't afraid. So
maybe Anthony wiener was either set up or complicit in the setup
to really propagate the whole idea of hacking. He certainly
used it a lot, didn't they?
Yeah, I use the word constantly and he's not, I don't believe is
complicit because unless this is a prank prank on him, I mean, he
unless he's doing the pranking and it went out of control and
he's lost control of it. And I don't believe that's true
because he's just not reacting properly. So I think he just
happens to be part of the system that is trying to promote this
this hacking meme that is become like we hacker hacker hacker bad
bad, bad. We have to do something Government right
government has to step in. And I think you're right about the
Budapest thing that we can't you know, you be hackers because
they're so dangerous. And you're and you're right that the fact
is the hacker term, which was originally the guys that there
used to be worried about what are called crackers, crackers.
That's right. That's right. And they became slow generically
call halfback Steven Levy, a writer, it was all over the
place, he writes a lot of pro Apple books, pretty much his
bread and butter. And he wrote a book called hackers, I think it
was hackers or crab was hackers. And it was about and he bitches
about that, because apparently, people are the true hackers, the
guys who like to fool around it with a machine by playing with
it, doing your right non standard things to with a
computer to see how it would how they work, just a hobby, and
have been caught are now considered evil. And that
started almost 20 years ago, or more. And now it's become now
it's showing up too much. And it was one of our listeners has
sent it to me saying, look, you've been talking about this,
but you don't realize that you missed the fact that this is a
meme that is, is rampant. And when this candy crowley thing
came out after the Wiener thing I said this is just as
unbelievably ridiculous. And so people out there, I always want
to bring these up. So you can now be at take keep an eye out.
Ya know, I think it's good that our producer brought that up.
And this is why internet licensed.com You're so right, we
got to get on this, we got to start licensing people we got a
you know, licensed them up,
we can be a will be the Clearinghouse, the agency, the
record, the agency of record and will be an NGO,
a 50313 c would be an NGO
licensing, you know, self like, this is what I do. It's free
enterprise is all about,
that's where and by the way, it's the it's the way the unit
is supposed to work we're self organizing is the industry is
regulating itself.
And so you can be assured you get when you get the license,
you get a license, and you'll get a bug, a little logo that
you can put on your website, so people can now trust you. And in
fact, you will have a line of code, a line of code goes into
every website and the line of code has the license number. And
so when the search engine goes through it sees the license
license number checks it against the database, and then you know,
you're assured you're not on any sort of evil site.
And of course, when you click on that logo, it'll take you right
back to Internet. licensed.com. Right, violates it goes viral.
And by the way, you know, there's a lot going on with this
cybersecurity bill of which parts have been released. You
know, there there is no real definitive bill that has
actually been introduced as such. But I You were the first
one to say it's I feel these the walls closing in very, very
rapidly. It's it's
well will be an easy street because we'll be having movie
the license will always have be able to get out you know, it'd
be great. Well, they shut us down.
This is good. But I guess internet licensed.com has taken
of course. Yeah. Yeah. So maybe we have to It's too bad. Maybe I
like
come up with some dissembler looks at chat rooms gotten a
brain working on it. Their work similar.
They're working on it.
Oh, Evey. So anyway, so that's a mean, I find it this week, I
think memes are important to follow. I caught another one,
which I've been thinking about for a while, but I just didn't
put it together until I got this clip. And this clip is and and
actually it was this clip that made me realize that there's a
meme in play that we we've only kind of touched on but we
haven't really played up. And it's the anti college education
meme, or is this Peter Thiel? No, this is a clip from a from a
from a soap opera? Well,
I'm about to graduate. I had to finish school because of the
whole parole thing. But after that, I'm completely free. I
didn't apply to any colleges. I'm not really interested in
higher education.
Can imagine I'm gonna go with one with your family,
although that's live with it. I know where I belong. In the
business learning my way up. I can already have a grasp of all
the basics, you know, I just need more hands on experience.
John, you won't be sorry, you hired me. I'll be dedicated and
loyal.
Michael, there's gonna be a day that comes when you look back on
this choice and realize that this day changed your life
forever. So I just want you to be sure and clear what you're
signing up for.
So what was this from by the way?
I think it was either General Hospital or one of the other
ones, the young and the restless,
trying to desperately stay on the air by propagating any meme
that's thrown.
Well, this meme. I don't know that you've know that they're
propagating it but I just realized what a meme it was
because we've been getting nothing. We've been inundated
with stories. about oh, you know, student loans, if you go
to college, you come out, you're broke. And they have one man in
debt. Yeah, that's what and in debt and they have women I've
saw just before I got this meme I remember seeing on one of
these news talk shows, some one woman being interviewed on the
street. Oh, I just graduated, and now I owe $300,000. And I'm
never gonna pay it off. I only took out a $10,000 loan, but now
I owe half a million dollars, and I don't know how I'm gonna
pay it off. So there's all these stories, you know,
Peter Thiel, Peter Thiel literally came out and he says
he's paying college students to drop out of school, and go work
at his companies and other forms, but not to complete
college. And Peter Thiel, of course, is a well known Silicon
Valley guy, Facebook, all the CIA companies of PayPal, eBay,
Facebook.
Now this all harkens back and by the way, Peter Thiel should be
ashamed of himself. But this all harkens back to probably about
two or three years ago, when I read that quote from the guy who
had worked up in Cheyenne Mountain, or one of those things
up in New York, Colorado is Iron Mountain, Iron Mountain, and he
was talking to some general saying, you know, these, this
was in the 60s or 70s, these kids are protesting too much.
They know too much we need to dumb down the American public,
we got to do something about it. Because you know, they educated
public is a problem. And it's a real problem. It's a real
problem. And now that we're going into a, you know, a second
double dip, depression, we don't need a bunch of smarty pants
that you know, have, they're educated, we need to build we
need workers we need we don't want people that can think for
them shit selves. So let's take and do a couple of things. One,
let's do this college, loan scam and ruin everybody's life and
then show them it as a terrible threat. And then if they and
let's jack up the prices, I mean, it used to be when I was a
kid, you could go to college for nothing. And now it's like, you
know, it's $100,000 in the hole just to get into, you know, to
do the four years if they haven't documented on a website
I was talking to Horowitz about this on the DHS unplugged show.
He's got a list and it cost $100,000 For a four year
education at Cal Berkeley. I mean, which is an ad that's low
for most of these schools. So they're trying and so what
they're also there's another meme that's followed, that
you'll be hearing a lot of and I've heard it last night, which
is that? Well, you know, there's all these countries, and they're
all in disarray, and there's Asian, there's cropping up. And
the one thing they all agree on, it's best to get their education
in the United States at one of our universities. Yeah. So now
there was everybody wants to come here. And so they're
catering to foreign students. In fact, the University of
California, here in cap Cal Berkeley, I believe, is almost
half out of state and foreign students, as opposed to, you
know, training and educating the Californians who set up this
institution. So you bring all these foreigners and educate
them let dumbed down the American public, screw them with
these college loans and have this never ending mean that you
don't need to go to college, you're better off getting right
into work, while we go back to the days when it was you know,
you graduated from the eighth grade and you can start working.
This is a terrible situation that nobody's addressing. And
the fact that it's is being promoted, and people like Peter
Thiel is part of the problem.
So let's, let's look at the facts here. You went to college?
I did. Which institution Did you attend? I
went to this university over here, University of California,
Berkeley, okay, you,
you went to Berkeley, which of course is where all the spooks
are. Yeah. You went to Berkeley.
Only recently. By the way, I don't believe it was the case.
When I was in there. spook.
You went to Berkeley. And you completed you graduated. Do you
have a degree?
Yeah, of course. I have a degree. What's your degree?
degree? I have a degree in
history history. Okay. Do you go on to do a master's or any other
type of No, I
did a little post grad work, but I never did get I was I was kind
of always promising to get a PhD, but I just never followed
up. Okay.
So we're established. You have graduated from UC Berkeley, a
fine spook institution. You have a degree in history. I dropped
out of college after three months. And here we are
together. Same show. Same gig. Yeah. So what does that tell you
about the value of your piece of paper?
Well just say you're part of the problem. I'm going to show my
school by donating
to no agenda. Imagine all the people who could do that. Oh,
yeah, that'd be fun.
Part of the problem and proud of it. Is that
right? Yeah, I could there's a sociological difference between
the two of us and I could, and it's only been equalized by the
fact that I have a college education and you've decided
Dumb yourself down. So that's another me issue. Daniel
Collins, Grosse Pointe, Michigan, I want it we have
actually 311 1.11 donors and people have to realize we've got
11 1111 coming up.
Now there's a couple of 11 elevens that take place. We also
have five Saturdays five Sundays in this year. This is a very
special year. It's very magical, very powerful.
Right? So we have three donors at the one one 1.11 level,
Daniel Collins, a new donor Grosse Pointe, Michigan has
wanted to thank you so much by donating I just recently started
listening so I don't know if I needed to do she actually
doesn't. Anyway thanks again keep up the great work and you
know try to keep on donating Keith Edwards of Gilbert Arizona
and Sir Schneeweiss snakes hater snakes hater shaker snakes is
also in on 11111 Lina Nobu Hara in tous, more South Australia
$100 She wants to thank us for many hours of hard work, keep us
all informed in the morning. It's almost been three months
since the Japan earthquake and tsunami even though Red Cross
has started distributing the donated funds, it will take a
while to reach the most affected people and besides is not cast
they want they want blankets, linen, or whatever. Let's just
play that for a second.
We just need cash. I know a lot of people want to send blankets
or water. Just send your cash.
She also gave us the list of a couple of nonprofit
organizations civic force, which will have links in the show
notes on a lot more information that Japanese page some clips
you'd like to look at. And she they work with the community to
see what they need the most. And it's apparently not a scam like
these other.
I'll put those into the show notes at 309 or not na
shownotes.com 309
and the show notes that in the show notes.com Mind Over media.
John anatomy here is another $100 to support no agenda and
the celebration of my wife's birthday. We got her listed
since some karma believes the guest Melissa got.
That's ladies and gentlemen. That's your Berkeley education

His name is Thiel. There's your Berkeley education everybody.
Yeah, okay. Hey, well, you
slammed me, bro.
Brah. No, no, you slammed me. You started it.
I just know, I asked a question I
did was half here we are
both winding up in the same gig begging for money to support a
show because we have nothing else we can do. Right.
And if it wasn't for my education, I would probably be
driving a truck and I wouldn't even know who you were.
And wait a minute. That's not the way to look at it.
That's the way I see it is if I had had an education, I'd be
driving to demean me actually making the effort to get a
degree because you didn't have to because you were born with a
silver spoon. Oh,
wow. Oh, excuse me. Let me just pull the silver spoon out of my
butt.
Yeah, so that's the
silver spoon. Really? Oh, that's that's rich. I really nice. I
had to go to West Virginia. My parents couldn't afford UC

Jonas ends be in Oslo greetings from get one nation brown cheese
love the show because I contribute to being a Boehner
although now he's a donor and although my credit card and bank
count is in the negative I had to take advantage of the
terrible US dollar I always like to hear both you pronounce my
name? I got Jonas NZP. What do you
got? Jonas? NSB. When you're not on XBee it's probably
Jonas on XBee or something? Yeah. Oh, nice. New new donor
and also the last new donor for the day is I'm sorry, there's
two more but once the lat as new Robert Vitaly in Staten Island,
he says we're a riot thinks we're funny. And Robert
Darrington. Brother of Tyler, Hoboken, New Jersey and that's
our group of fine in investors and producers and helpers and
contributors to today's show is pretty much everybody
since shill light. Did the spreadsheet today. He put in a
new category which is kind of interesting new donors over $10
Emanuel Lozi A. So these are all people who are new to the show.
This is this is this warms my heart and we have new non boners
but new donors. Daniel Collins, Lawrence Dring, Misty Tallman,
Vincent Farrell interstate deals. Jonas NBS, who just had
their Robert Vitali and Kevin Payne, all new donors over $10.
And We highly appreciate that. I did want to mention one thing
about the reason why we run the show this way, as became
extremely apparent with an announcement from PBS earlier
this week, of course, covered up by the news media who were too
obsessed with looking at a penis. PBS officials at their
annual meeting in Orlando, said that starting this fall, they
are going to break every 15 minutes for corporate and
foundation sponsor spots, promotional messages and
branding.
Yeah, I saw this article I was just I mean, it's not as though
it's something we didn't see coming.
Right. But national treasure and PR has been doing this for Well,
certainly the last year that I've been listening regularly.
They interrupt the programming for a commercial commercial, a
commercial it's just a commercial, giving them money. I
hear the car talk guys in this like Car Talk is proudly
underwritten by Val valine. Well, hello, I mean Val valine
it makes sense. It's an oil product for your car. It's
targeted towards Car Talk. It's commercial. It's completely
commercial. And now PBS is going to break. So that's only five
minutes longer than then. And by the way, they don't mention how
long the pods will be. And we will be one spot two spots, five
spots.
I saw one break recently where they had 10 spots. It was after
the NewsHour, one of these shows that we just went on and on. And
these are long spots where that people go on and on about their
product. I mean, the chevron commercial that they run is the
same one they run on network TV. Exactly.
Of course it is. So now pizza, PbS is now basically a
commercial station. I don't do they have to what kind of taxes
do they pay? Because they're, I guess they're a nonprofit. I
mean, if I were running a real network, I'd be angry. You know,
these guys get coverage everywhere that probably don't
have to pay for cable space the way the way a commercial network
has to?
That's a good question, Do they pay for carriage?
I probably don't do this. But I don't know the rules. But it may
even be that cable companies are forced to carry it like they're
forced to carry seaspan We
need to talk to a cable guy
was I'm sure some cable guy out there in the audience can help
us with this. So it's not a commercial entity,
commercial entity have an unfair advantage. Well, besides that
they're not in there begging for money, give me a break, they're
corrupted,
or at least at the very best corruptible because you cannot
bite the hand that feeds you. So if General Electric is puts on a
couple million dollars in an ad buy, you're not going to do a
negative story, you're just not going to do it. It will be
circumvented through management one way or the other. John and I
both have worked at media companies long enough. I
certainly have worked in media companies most of my adult life,
that it just how it works. So you can't trust it anymore. You
can't. Now, we of course, don't have a staff. Other than the
most important staff, we can get our producers who we call our
listeners, and you know that when you're getting something
for free, you are the product. Now you are getting this program
for free, but you are supporting it, you're sponsoring and
supporting the show. So you know there's a value for value in
there and you know, that there's no one gonna come knocking on my
door, there's gonna have to tell us what we have to say about a
certain topic.
Right, right. Right, absolutely. Right.
Right. So where's the reporting on this PBS story I tell you so
play.org/awesome
A also go to no agenda nation.com And you can click on
a big donation button there and also no agenda show.com has a
donation button you can click on which will take you to
dvorak.org/in A and we'll be adding some new stuff this week.
Specifically to help Adam and his national national tour get
more nation Hot Pockets 2008 tour the 2008 tour and they will
be they'll probably know what you would do would be probably
good and Eric and organize this
in between feedings in between breastfeeding Yeah, his
wife's going to do some of that too. I think if you're going to
be on the road and this is I think I don't think we you know
we're taking donations as usual and you know some of the
obviously guys to go to gas money but I think that if with a
big box of T shirts that say no agenda Hot Pockets tour 2008 the
cities listed you could be selling them out of the back of
the van for 20 bucks yeah the van back to the van you open the
trunk and you got you got him in there and they're 20 bucks a pop
and they paid for gas you could go as long as you want
what a great idea John dies it sounds fantastic albums
album. Yeah, we can sell CDs and trinkets and Mickey singing them
out of the back of the truck and Van the van just go as long as
you can stay on the road don't come back
and just stay out there welcome back once we need a name for
said van she she has to have a name who we saw as the gizmo
nation Hot Pockets 2008 tour we've got that gave us imagine
we're rolling up with this big sticker on the side that says
Get mo nation Hot Pockets 2008 And these guys be Hey man,
you've been on the road a long time
I want to buy a t shirt. All right. Happy birthday to the
following people who are on our list here. Johnny Ramirez
certainly five today I guess mine over media says Happy
Birthday today Alisa and Christopher gray turns 40 on
today June 2 2011. Happy birthday from all everybody's
here at the no agenda show And here comes John very, very
special moment right now is we're going to give her the
state of Virginia. So you need the big the big blade. Whoo. You
got it. Maggie Vinson, please step forward. Maggie, you have
completely given us some value for value here which goes above
and beyond the call of duty as you have gracefully allowed us
to borrow your van for the no agenda, hot pockets 2008 tour,
and we're gonna give you the state of Virginia Maggie Vinson,
we hereby pronounce the Baroness Maggie Vinson, Dane and Baroness
of the no agenda roundtable. And of Virginia. So she's got
Virginia covered, which is good.
You know, probably West Virginia would be included. No,
Virginia, just before you just, we had one note that you sent
me. So I didn't know if you wanted me to
sneak in that you might want to look at that. That's from
Katherine. It's one it's a story that I think is worth relating.
Yeah. So
and when you send me stuff, you know, I actually open your email
read it.
You know, I there's one time ever that I didn't open your
email, and make it please. This happens all the time. One time.
Okay, one time from Katharina hug. Hello, John. I just wanted
to pop in emailed let you know, I signed up for the 11 $11 month
subscription. I was at the airport today after having
downloaded a couple of shows on my iPod to listen to the on the
plane. I then wandered into the airport bookstore trying to
decide what magazines I should buy to alternate my methods of
entertainment. You could always sell radicalise, I said to
myself, self Why buy two or three magazines at $4.99 Each
when I have this great podcast to listen to instead, I realized
then if I was ready to spend $15 For crappy magazines, three
quarters of which are just ads to lure me into buying something
I really don't need that I should really be able to pay a
nominal monthly fee to help support my favorite show. The
show I spend more time listening to than I do talking to my
boyfriend. Oops, almost. I honestly don't know what I would
listen to cooking, biking, working out. And just all around
living if you guys stopped doing the show, so please take my
donation, buy yourself some food and batteries for the potential
future and keep hitting friends in the mouth. It's a beautiful
email and we appreciate not just Caterina who signed up for the
$11.11 month $11.11 A month plan. But everybody else people
also on the $5 a month plan. That's really long term the
stuff that should sustain us word not that Pay Pal keeps
deleting people's subscriptions. Yeah, this is really messy.
Gotcha. It's messed up. I mean, I know
what bugs me about that is I get like real mean spirited emails.
A guy says, I supported you guys. And then you dropped me.
Yeah,
we yeah, we got blamed for it. I know.
Yeah, I said and I said I didn't drop any we don't drop anybody.
So anyway, so that so people should check on that. But the
1111 thing is, I think well worth it is it's a good number.
And I think she's right. And I liked that pitch I think is like
how much you are spending money on all kinds of things. We're
here doing this thing and a new model, which is that you know,
you have to It's like buying a magazine or newspaper or, or
going to a lousy movie.
Lousy movies a lot more than 15 bucks. That's just the ticket.
Yeah, I know you go go broke one of those things. But anyway, so
I want to thank everybody who who comes over we need more of
these stories.
Let me just implant the jingle in your mind one more time. All
right.org/n A Can you just go back to a story from a couple of
weeks ago that's been bothering me. And finally I kind of
discovered what was bothering me about it. This Air France flight
447
I'm surprised you haven't. Yeah. Well, this is where I was
actually going to ask you about the I was gonna do an ask Adam
about this because this is getting pretty weird.
Well, in case you didn't be in case you might have might have
slipped your mind you asked me about it on. On Sunday. I
don't remember for one minute. It's the next No. That's okay.
So here's the official Of course, the reason why it's a
problem is because there's there's no data known. I mean,
we're the air incidents, there's data known about the location,
we really don't know much about it because not like there's not
a lot of weather sensors in the middle of the Atlantic. You
know, we knew there were some turbulence coming up. But
here's, um, as I'm reading through click, something was
bugging me about this. So what they're saying is that according
to the flight data recorder, the aircraft sensors, these nodes,
the Peto tubes, the which measures airspeed, which are
heated continuously in flight to to make sure no ice accumulates
on them malfunction so they didn't know what their airspeed
was, and If you really look at the pure facts of the matter,
this aircraft stalled. And it's not, it doesn't mean the engine
stalled. But if you don't have enough forward airspeed, then
there's not enough airflow under the wings. And then it's called
a wing stall and you fall down to the ground. So the thing that
bothers me is that they the sensors, the only said that the
sensors for airspeed malfunction, and they actually
in the, in the report, it says that, you know, all other
systems were functioning properly. Now, there's when
you're training to fly an aircraft, attitude of your
aircraft is you have speed and attitude to the most important
things without speed, you got a problem, but attitude is right
up there on the list. And the attitude is, is the pitch of the
airplane. So what they're saying in the report is that the
copilot apparently was flying at the time, notice something was
wrong and started pulling back on the stick. In other words,
setting the airplane into a nose up attitude. This is contrary to
every piece of training you receive, particularly if there's
an airspeed issue, you will always you're trained to do
this. This is it's like, you know, it's like when you when
you take the test. This is what the you go through a stalled
test. And it's the simplest thing in the world. The airplane
starts the buffet, first thing you do immediately push the nose
forward, push the nose forward, it's a part of the test. This
copilot apparently pulled back. It makes no sense if
particularly if his attitude indicator, his artificial
horizon was functioning, which according to the report, the
official report says it was functioning that he made this
move. So something happened that is either not being reported.
But what is being reported is contrary to every single thing
an airman would actually know about what happens in any type
of situation where you cannot either measure your airspeed, or
you know, there's a degradation of airspeed. So I don't have
more than that other than
I mean, it's so obvious to anyone who's followed these air
buses that this software issue Yeah, he
probably pulled push forward and it might have reversed or pulled
up or whatever it is
by may have done a bunch of things and it said now now now I
know what I'm doing in the computer took over and lifted a
plane and and dropped into the ground. I mean, this is what
happened at the Air Show, which the poor pilot was blamed for we
remember this one of the early air buses that was showing off
at the Paris Air Show and The guy came in to do some low
flying you know, not a touchdown but apparently just do kind of a
mock let you know the story I'm talking about. He came down but
not to laminate he tried to pull back up into place. So wait a
minute, you're supposed to be landing and that drove them
right into a bunch of trees.
As he drove me no less. He was
like, it's like and then they blame the guy.
He was driving off crew I'm driving around here my plane.
So and you know now we've got the 380 which is a monster I
would love to take a ride in and they're going to be bringing
them into SFO and apparently Dubai just bought 90 of these
things. They didn't buy a one or two. Yeah, and
notice they didn't buy Airbus because they crash
the Airbus once that the 80s the big jump the
Airbus my idiots idiots
well they got 90 of them I mean I'm the double decker you know
Yeah, right that in Yeah, right. I wouldn't say that. It's a huge
double decker and of course like all the new when they bring out
a plane this big you know, they put a disco and a bowling alley
and a bunch of things that you know, kind of cool stripper pole
stripper pole and nightclub and they have like, you know, soda
fountain hamburger places all in and they leave it like that for
a while and then next thing you know is 900 people instead all
crammed Yeah, but they you know they make it kind of attractive
at first but the the but ya know it Emirates Emirates, I believe,
bought 90 of these suckers. So they're trying to fly everybody
into the Middle East into Dubai for shopping. And I think it's
just, I don't know why one one of these things crashes is a lot
of people that are going to it's going to be a mess. You know,
I've
flown I've flown a French aircraft. But a helicopter,
which has, you know, is it's French. It's the Eurocopter and
and the Airbus is arguably French. Now portions of it. And
I had this euro copters it's kind of it's the the one that
has the enclosed fan on the back doesn't really have a tail
rotor. They're
kind of cool looking. Yeah, they're quiet
I have to say because they don't have a tail rotor exposed. But
you had to wait. When you started up. You have to wait
because it has As a management system, and I all it always
bothered me to sit down the ground with the engine running,
waiting for the system to boot up and see the Microsoft and T
startup screen, it's always really bothered me, I never
really liked the Eurocopter for that only reason. You know,
like, this thing is managing my engine really Microsoft anti.
I'm not feeling too good.
Yeah, it's, uh, yeah, I wouldn't be. So I mean, that's what we're
gonna end up with cars eventually. I mean, we haven't
gotten there yet. But I mean, they have some fly by wire stuff
in the car. But eventually,
oh, yeah, just be you're too stupid. Just shut up. And we'll
I mean, the,
there was just an event yesterday, as a matter of fact
that Ford put on I went to part of it. Oh, they
invited you back?
Yeah, unbelievable. Amazing. So I went to and as far as you
know, my wife has asked me what's the best as a talking
car. But it's not a car that talks to you. It's a car that
talks to other car, talks to the road and talks to the police.
And it talks to all these things. And we're seeing these
cars, this is like the Smart car. And we're starting to see
there's a big good bunch of good panelists talking about the new
cars, you know, you're not gonna they Ford doesn't believe that
ksport approach, which is to have a car that drives itself
and you just sit there and enjoy the view, they think it's going
to be just a enhanced car. That doesn't drive itself, you still
get that fantastic experience of driving. But if you're going to
ram into somebody, it'll stop and stare at, you know, whether
you want to or not, and it'll let you know that there's a
you can make, would you like to ram into car press? Would it be
okay, cancel or retry? We'll get one of those dialogues.
Exactly. So they have these new they're they're trying to push
this and it but it's also far in the future is that you know,
people still buy. I mean, it's but it's just bogus, because
there's no way you're going to get enough of these cars on the
road to make a difference, except when you buy a new car.
In fact, some people believe since 2006, most of the new
American cars you buy have a black box in them.
Yeah, so the black box is something that re gangsta hood
would of course, like to become law where everybody has to have
one of these black boxes. And there's two, two forms. One is
the black box, which is very similar to an aircraft black
black box, where it's recording stuff that happens so that in
the event of an incident, we can go back and then blame it on
pilot error. Of course, it'll be all your fault. The secondary
one that they're talking about is for taxation issues, to tax,
your road usage. And of course, track where you go. I heard a
commercial actually saw commercial yesterday from
progressive. And this is the reason why I guarantee you, I
guarantee you 100% Put it in the book, you will have a black box
in your car, because you will not be able to afford insurance
without it. And here's progressive one of the largest
car insurers in the United States with their latest
promotion. So what's the snapshot discount?
It's pretty revolutionary, patented, actually, it takes a
snapshot of your good driving habits so you can save money,
like a snapshot. That's what I'm talking about. A sports car?
Show it to me Yes. I want to believe it. Fierce? Love it.
Well, that's, I think we have
it, the snapshot discount new, huge and only from progressive.
So it's kind of a cutesy commercial, where he has taken
pictures, you know, like in the, I'm taking pictures, but the
snapshot literally, now it's for discount. But soon it will be if
you don't have the little device, you have it in your car,
you have to manually at this point, press a button. So it
takes a snapshot as either has to happen. I have the article
here somewhere,
yeah, it'll read you're right, it's gonna just have it morphed
into a blackbox. And if you're gonna get a better deal, if you
have one, you're going to save the, you know, hundreds of
dollars a year, if you have one. And it's what and it's going to
be for your benefit. Because if you get into a wreck, you're
right, you can reverse engineer, but it's also going to be used
for when they don't want to even think of talking about this is
that the local police department will find some way of
downloading this when you go in to get your smog check in
California. Every year. Yeah, they're going to download the
data from the black box and then give you retroactive tickets.
Because they're going to know where you were and what speed
you were doing. And you're going to say, Well, look, you're in a
school zone. It was three o'clock in the afternoon. There
were children in the area, that means 15 miles an hour, you were
doing 18 miles an hour. Were you always you know, as money, you
know, you were on the freeway, and it was at midnight, and
yeah, there was nobody else on the freeway, but it was like a
freeway at a posted speed limit of 65 right here and you were
doing at you owe us money. And that's exactly where this is
going. And then of course it will keep people from speeding a
lot because you can't you won't be with the damn black box in
your car. But you know, it's a little onerous, and they're also
gonna be able to tell where you were where Oh, let's see. Oh,
what were you doing over here? What were you doing over there?
Excuse me, Mr. Curry, you wouldn't want us to call your
family and let them know that you were over here on this day
now, would you?
I think we can use a donation to the Police Retirement Fund but
Neverland
so I was incorrect. I'm looking at the web page on
progressive.com. Here's how it works. Here's how our usage
based in their calling it a usage based insurance program
works Hello, Gitmo nation. One enroll online, we'll send you
the device will tell you where to plug it into your car drive
as you normally do. For the next 30 days, you'll keep track of
your good driving habits with the snapshot device, you can log
into your progressive policy anytime to see your projected
snapshot discount on day 31. Your initial snapshot savings
which can be anywhere from zero to 30% kicks in. After six
months, you'll send back the device will finalize your
driving snapshot, notice how they use those words. And you
can keep saving for as long as you're insured by progressive
well guaranteed that this end, that's how you get screwed on
both ends. Like you won't be able to get insurance without
your snapshot. And then when you have your snapshot, you're gonna
get tickets and all kinds of Mickey took a right hand turn
here in in Los Angeles off of sunset and one. And I think she
knew she was doing. She's doing something that shouldn't be done
because it was like, not between three and seven or whatever, you
know, yeah, this intersection is in Los Angeles. There's 20
signs, you know, and you know, it's like, yeah, okay, she turns
right. The cops are waiting there. How much? How much should
that find be?
Well, it should be like $20 or $50 Max, but I'm sure it wasn't
$243
She's
and Mickey had a heart attack. She's been saying sorry for like
the past week. I'm really sorry. It's like yeah, well, you know,
it was a trap. Of course, it
was a trap because they were waiting right there. Yeah, and
it was you know that it was all man. But anyway, that's that's
pretty outlandish. $243 there one thing slave you won't do it
again, slave, that's for sure.
And it helps feed the coffers because we have overpaid public
officials. Yeah. And you know, we had this situation that just
took place in Ohio with overpaid public officials where they
wouldn't you know, there's work do which I think is part of a
some other mean. But dude, where's my stolen MacBook? Yeah,
that took place recently. And some guy lost his MacBook but
has some snooper software on to things. We kept taking pictures
of the guy who stole it. And it which I think is funny, but it's
still you know, the police said they didn't care until they got
all this publicity and they had to go out and finally go arrest
the guy even though it's like $1,100 product. I mean, this is
granted what is staffed. They don't care about theft anymore.
And And my comment to that was every time so Brian Well, you
know, the police are busy. Yeah, the police in Oakland one of the
things they do and I think around the country, this is
going to another moneymaker go
around shooting black people, isn't it kind of what they're
supposed to do there?
No, they do that. Yeah. But that's been going on forever.
There's the latest scam that they've got going instead of
helping people find their stolen property because stolen property
is no big deal apparently, is that in in red bus stops bus
stops that you know, let's say you're at the BART station. And
there's a there's a parking lot and then there's a bus area
there's no buses there but there's like room for three
buses. And and you your friend just got off the BART you're
coming to pick him up so you slow down and you stop real
quick into the bus section and throw them in the car and take
off you will get a $250 fine because it's illegal for anyone
to use those bus lanes and there's a cop waiting to be
sitting there waiting is like a speed trap. You know we don't
use speed trucks we use parking traps and they have time to do
that. And just Nick people because that's a profit center.
There's no profit in helping people find their last property.
No, this is ridiculous. These are public servants are not
supposed to be making money on the deal. The taxes are supposed
to be paying for what they do. But no, no, they gotta pay
themselves more money. They didn't they have to get more
money so they're gonna get more money by creating profit
centers, overpriced public parking on the streets, these
phony baloney tickets and all this rest of meanwhile, they
can't do anything about helping the public fight, get their
stolen property back. This is ridiculous and it's just getting
worse.
So the TSA has come under some investigation of late but it's
very quiet. You know, there is there are 43 reports per day of
people's possessions being stolen by the TSA when they're
at the checkpoint. Yeah, and it's dealing laptops left and
right
guess guess what? There's a secret reimbursement program.
Listen to
his vacation with Greg. It's the Trip Home that soured at all for
Jason Lowe. planning something flying back from Disneyland TSA
randomly selected him for extra screening. Lo says that's when
someone must have snatched his wallet from the bin by the
Edstrom.
This moment are the only people I can hold responsible as a TSA,
he lost his ID, credit cards and $500 cash. The TSA though has
quietly reimbursed 10s of 1000s of travelers who have
experienced similar steps paid out more than a half million
dollars last year alone. Lo learned about it the hard way, I
hope that it was just a passenger that grabbed it and
and walked off with it. I would much rather think that than to
think that that an employee or an agent of TSA could have done
it.
So far, no one has been caught in his case, more than a half
billion bags go through TSA security checkpoints every year
gradually, though fewer claims are being filed. Of those we
have learned the TSA is rejecting more of the TSA points
out it only gets about 45 claims a day. Despite screening two and
a half million bags.
Yeah. So. So here's the way I read that is the TSA, in some
regards, is an organized crime unit. They're stealing your
stuff. And when they get found out instead of having a blemish
on their tainted record as is they pay people off, shut up,
just take the money. And of course people take the money.
And that's pretty outrageous that we should have some
congressional hearings about 45 a day. Really, that's a that's a
pretty bad, right. And they
got cameras all over the thing. And this is an area where
security, this is a security area where you're checking
people and you're you're making observations and you're
carefully monitoring what's going on and you're worried six
some terrorist is gonna get on the plane. So it's a high area,
sorry, Tara make any sense that there's any things being stolen
in that area?
So there's a new book out attention, no agenda book club
maintainers. That talks about in a way about some of these
issues. It is about the security industry, the prison industry in
these United States with some very interesting data. The name
of this book is called The New Jim Crow. You want to explain
Jim Crow laws briefly just the old Jim Crow. So we understand
what that is for our non GMO nation, West people.
These are laws that were designed to essentially put the
blacks in their place.
You could put your hood back on now. Very nice.
We should absolutely be releasing people from prison
rather than trying to warehouse them more cheaply. Over the last
30 years, our prison population has exploded has quintupled gone
from around 300,300 50,000 to well over 2 million for reasons
that have stunningly little to do with crime or crime rates.
Crime rates have fluctuated during this period gone up, gone
down. And today, as bad as crime is in many parts of the country,
crime rates are at historical lows, but incarceration rates,
especially black incarceration rates have consistently soared.
Most criminologist and sociologists today will
acknowledge the crime rates and incarceration rates have moved
independently of one another. incarceration rates have soared
regardless of whether crime was going up or down in any given
community, or the nation as a whole. So what does explain this
prison boom? Well, the answer is the war on drugs and the Get
tough movement, the wave of punitive pneus that washed over
the United States. In fact, today, there are more people in
prisons and jails just for drug offenses than were incarcerated
for all reasons, in 1980. And the overwhelming majority of
those swept up in this drug war have been poor folks of color,
arrested and convicted of primarily nonviolent, relatively
minor drug offenses and one thing
so there you go, there's your prison industrial complex at
work as
well. We've talked about this on and off a lot. And if Jim Crow
laws were, you know, he this is, I guess, the modern version. But
the fact is, is that blacks in particular, in fact, there was a
black prosecutor that way I have clips from it. I don't know if
we ever use those clips up to dig him up again, who was
moaning and groaning about to saying, you know, no matter what
we do, the crime goes down. The prison population goes up, the
crime goes up the prison population no matter what you
do, and it's mostly blacks, and much of these are people
arrested for their minor crimes, minor crimes or smoking dope.
You know, they're in a nightclub smoking dope, or, you know,
smoking crack pipe, maybe, and they get thrown in jail, because
the reason for that is because the nows, they're literally
blacks being, you know, a epitomizing slave labor.
Yeah, because There, you gotta work, you gotta work for money,
start looking at the at the websites, and we should probably
find a bunch of them because they're quite interesting. That
document fact there's websites that not only document that but
offer services. Yeah, they're like the meta companies that
say, Well, you know, when you're, when you're not getting
enough money out of your prisoners, you can also do this
and that and the other thing. And meanwhile, of course, we
always point the finger at China and say, Oh, they're using slave
labor, we use more slave labor in this country through the
prisoners than any other nation.
That's right. And it's not just license plates anymore, ladies
and gentlemen, now
it's their license plate thing is an absolute it's a meme
to meant to be kept alive, like to be kept alive. So you just
feel oh, they make license plates. Now they do lots of
work. Now, that's actually a good way to to position it. It's
just slave labor, cheap slave labor, which the state and the
country actually subsidizes. Yeah, it's a big moneymaker.
Well, I am stunning. And what is a bump? By the way, Obama, I
believe, is a black president. What is he done? For the black
community regarding this scandal?
Oh, well, you know, the whole idea is he's got to throw all
the blacks in jail before the next election, because they're
not going to vote for him. There's a huge
I got to get another thing, you throw one of these guys in jail,
and now they can never vote again in their lifetime.
I'm gonna throw you in jail. You can't vote for me. Yeah, there's
there's a huge, huge uprising coming against him from the
black community. And the black business community is really I
mean, livid, livid with him. With everything, everyone's
angry. Yeah, I think I think it's the beauty and you know,
the Rockstar, baroque we see on television in Ireland, and you
know, the guy from 2008 at the Westminster Abbey, this is you
know, it's trying to program people that's trying to program
dumb white people. Or not even dumb, just white people who
aren't getting thrown in jail. into thinking, Oh, this is the
right guy. Yeah, it's a good, it's good. In July, we're
supposed to start withdrawing troops. I let me let me let me
make. Let me make a prediction. Let me make a prediction.
What is this? Adam's prediction day? You're filling up the book?
Yeah, I'll say 5000 Troops, we withdraw? Oh, no.
I'm not giving you that one. I'm not even gonna put it in the
book, because that number has come up. And we've brought it
up. The we do? I don't remember. Okay. So 5000 is the number. It
has been maimed by everybody. Wouldn't it
be cool if you did, like 3300? Wouldn't that be like, awesome.
Yeah, it
would be but it's gonna be 5000 is a great victory.
Yes. Yes. Because he's fulfilling His promises are very
much like this one. It is US policy that Qaddafi needs to go.
But let me emphasize that we anticipate this transition to
take place in a matter of days, and not a matter of weeks.
Okay. That was he said that a couple of days ago was the deal.
Yeah,
that was a couple of days ago on March 21 2011.
I think we're the only show doing the tracks that that has
tracked this to the end. I mean, we keep I personally don't think
we should be harping on the President's lies, but you know,
may not be a bad idea.
No. Well, there was a congressional hearing about
this, about the the War Powers resolution, as tied to the 1973
is tied to the War Powers Act. And so there's a bill now
floating in, in Congress. And this bill as a Republican bill,
would reinforce the whole idea of, hey, you know, you got 60
days, after 48 hours, you got to notify Congress and you have 60
days, and then you got 30 days to clean it all up or get
congressional approval to go kill people. So Dr. Ron Paul is
out. And I watched this for I think it was two and a half, two
hours. The following program is about two hours and 20 minutes.
That's what C span always does. And Congressman Ron Paul, asked
talks to Rooney who's a Republican Representative from
Florida. And so what they want to do is they want to slip in
some language into this bill that says, essentially, well,
you know, the War, the War Powers resolution of 1973 tied
to the War Powers Act, can be enacted, you know, if there's an
imminent threat, you know, if the security of the United
States is if we're being threatened, or if we have some
kind of agreement, like the NATO agreement, so that we Don't look
like douche bags and Indian givers. And so this is how our
slowly our constitution will be it will slowly, radically is
being eroded so that we basically do whatever the United
Nations and NATO says just a little clip, as Ron Paul asks
constitutional expert, Congressman Rooney of Florida
about this about this bill. Thank
you. I would like like to ask Mr. Rooney this question. I know
you deferred and didn't want to particular discuss Mr. Gibson's
bill. But since you've been a professor of constitutional law,
I think it'd be nice to have your opinion went for phrase he
wants to add into about obligations under treaties.
Would you care to make any comment about that?
Yeah, certainly, I think that, you know, that there, obviously
is mention of that in the Constitution. And, you know,
with regard to what you were asking before, one of the
concerns that I have, certainly with the way that the President,
this President has moved forward. And some of the
comments that have come out of the administration, that deal
with kind of like the new way that we're gonna go to war in
the future under the Obama Doctrine is if it's small,
humanitarian, we have NATO. There's no need for Congress to
get involved, you know, that, that and somehow that to go to
your question that trumps what our role is, that concerns me
greatly. But, but again, as I said, before, those words have
been used in by prior administrations, this
humanitarian idea was used by Clinton, you know, so we're not
in unchartered territory, and possibly, you know, new
legislation that trumps the War Powers resolution, might bring
clarity. But I think that, you know, what my resolution simply
says, is just, you know, let's act within accordance of the
law. If the President took the time to follow the law, when it
came to notifying us within 48 hours, and obviously has some
interest, as representative Gibson says, and following the
law, but it's where we go from there that we always sort of
have the wheels come off. And, and so I would just say that,
you know, if we don't continue to assert ourselves, of course,
we have the power of the person, the end. But, you know, I think
that, I think that, you know, we shouldn't stop this fight just
because we do or don't like, the War Powers resolution, and what
it says there.
So I like what Rooney says there. But of course, the whole
idea of the War Powers resolution is kind of
ridiculous.
Well, the thing that gets me about this, and I said it on the
show, I think a couple of times, I'll say it again, why does
Congress want to give the big take some of the powers that
they have that are granted them by the Constitution, and give
them to another to give them to the executive branch? This is
the ridiculous thing to do you want to get you what you know,
it seems to me that if you're within a government situation, I
mean, this is why agencies get so big, is you want to grow your
power. So you're more powerful. I mean, that that mean, that's
the kind of and you have to have people preventing you from doing
that. I've never heard of the opposite where you say I we
don't really want to do anything. Take the powers from
us. Well, of course, what
happens is you got a big mouth. I'll give you an example.
Congressman Anthony wiener. He's got a big mouth He's telling
Clarence Thomas long Dong silver pubic hair on mechanic coat guy
that he has to recuse himself from the from any constitutional
issues that are raised about health care, because of his
wife's workforce. Think tanks and connections. You got a big
mouth and then what happens? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Stupid slave.
Shut up. Here's a boner in your boxers picture. You know, stuff
like, people get worried about stuff like that. Now, I did
something as we, we agreed I would do on the previous show.
And it made stop a second. You don't think that within a
million with within any dimension that Clarence Thomas
has any connection whatsoever with the Boehner and the boxers?
I'm thinking long Dong silver, I'm thinking Boehner in the
boxer. Okay. That's my connection.
That's okay. It's fine. You can go off in that direction.
News reports, toll of Syrian crackdown, where more than 1000
people have been killed nationwide, including 25
Children rises to 33 in two towns, so the code has been
transmitted. It's time to go into Syria. This is one of our
predictions. And I promised I would bring back
judge it is not our prediction. We base this whole thing based
on that, that that old clip
which I have queued up from General Wesley Clark and
people would have listened to the show I there's a couple of
things about it. replaying clips, by the way, I want to say
this now, these clips have to be replayed because we have new
listeners. And we need to keep certain things in mind, a and b,
they're worth listening to more than once I enjoy hearing this
clip.
About 10 days after 911. I went through the Pentagon and I saw
Secretary Rumsfeld and, and Deputy Secretary Wolfowitz, I
went downstairs just say hello to some of the people on the
joint staff who used to work for me and one of the generals call
me and he said, Sir, you got to come in, you got to come in and
talk to me a second. I said, Well, you're too busy. He said,
No, no. He says, we've made the decision. We're going to war
with Iraq. This was on or about the 20th of September. I said,
we're going to war with Iraq. Why?
He said, I don't know. He said, I guess they don't know what
else to do.
So I said, Well, do they find some information collect
connecting Saddam to al Qaeda? He said, No, no, it's just
there's nothing new that way. They just made the decision to
go to war with Iraq. He said, I guess it's like, we don't know
what to do about terrorists. But we got a good military, and we
can take down governments. And he said, I guess if the only
tool you have is a hammer, every problem has to look like a nail.
So I came back to see him a few weeks later. And by that time,
we were bombing in Afghanistan. I said, Are we still going to
war with Iraq? And he said, Oh, it's worse than that. He said,
He reached over on his desk, he picked up a piece of paper. He
said, I just he said, I just got this down from upstairs meeting
the Secretary of Defense Office today. And he said this a memo
that describes how we're going to take out seven countries in
five years, starting with Iraq, and then Syria, Lebanon, Libya,
Somalia, Sudan, and finishing off Iran.
There you go, everybody, that's the path to Persia, an official
plan.
Right, so we do have to do something with Syria.
Yeah. of goodwill. When and we the girl who is a pal of
ours until recently, of course, I think the Egypt Tunisia thing
just kind of got in the way or triggered retriggered the old
plan. Because once the Egypt and Tunisia thing got underway, then
we created this Libyan thing, which is follows that that model
that was that Clarke now the path the path of the Persian at
Clark mentioned, and the next thing on the list would be
Syria. And some,
yeah. Particularly because the Russians have their naval base
there.
Well, that's your your thinking. Yeah. So they are Russia is just
this the thing that gets me this is the variable is the Russians.
You know, how much of this are they gonna put up with? I think,
you know, I
think the Russians are just they've been through what we're
doing right now. They've been through the whole Afghanistan
thing. They've been through the bankrupt thing. I think they
just going back and going like, we'll just wait until you're all
messed up. And then we'll be the true leaders and with our
buddies, China, I think they're just hanging back. They don't
care. I really don't.
area don't care or they're in on it.
Possibly, possibly. I think didn't the, the Russians just
raise their interest rates? Like, like some amazing like two
points or something? I don't know. Yeah, something weird.
With the finance going on there. I got to look into it. The
meanwhile. The Canadian news doing a pretty good job. You
hear what Harper came out and said? What,
presiding over the exit of Canadian troops from combat in
Afghanistan. Prime Minister Harper yesterday said
this, Afghanistan is no longer a threat to the world. The country
may indeed still be a miserable and dangerous place for its
citizens said Harper.
But this country does not represent a geostrategic risk to
world it is no longer a source of global terrorism.
Quite a declaration. The question is, might it not be a
little too early for such confidence? The Americans are
anxious to leave too, but they keep warning the remains much to
do. The White House says the goals remain
disrupt, dismantle and ultimately defeat al Qaeda, and
to ensure that Afghanistan would not again become a haven for
terrorists.
Today go Canadian says it's not dangerous over there.
No, we're only over there to maintain a watch on Pakistan. I
think we've listened to enough C span to realize that the reason
we're in Afghanistan now is to maintain a watch on Pakistan and
of course, still protect the poppy fields because it's a huge
income still a big deal. Still a big deal. A lot of money to be
made there. And we're not going to let that slide. There was
something really weird that happened. By the way, I just
looked up the Russian interest rates and know their historical
lows and went up they may be good. They went up to 775 was
the lowest ever and it just bounced around and now it's at
825 It's not very high.
Okay. But I thought I'd That's what I said. I wasn't sure I
thought I had seen some kind of some kind of weird message about
that. There's a Dennis Kucinich, the congressman from Ohio. Who
is he's it seems to be a light of hope
in Congress on the Democrats these days, the analog of Ron
Paul, on the Democrat side,
actually, I have two clips by him. One is, he's this is it's
pretty short, talking about why we're in debt. And this is I
mean, it's like, it's like I'm hearing Ron Paul talk, and then
I have a message that C span broadcasts about him.
Why are we in debt? We borrow trillions for wars in
Afghanistan and Iraq, trillions for tax cuts for the rich. We
borrow billions from China and Japan. We have plenty of money
for war, Wall Street, and welfare for the wealthy. But
when millions of honest Americans need jobs, many jobs
need wage increases need health care, need education, need
retirement security. They're told no, we don't have the
money. How is it that the Fed can create trillions of dollars
to give to the banks, but the US can't meet its needs. Whenever
without going into debt to banks. The financial system
works for a few at the expense to the many. The founders did
not intend for America to be run by big banks and Wall Street.
The Constitution put the ability to create money in the hands of
Congress, the Fed took away that power in 1913. We need to get
that power back to invest in our economy, to create jobs, to put
America back to work to rebuild America without going into debt.
We must reclaim our destiny by reclaiming control over the
money system. The gentleman's time has expired,
then your life is going to expire. If you keep talking like
that. Don't be too smart.
They've already gotten him so he's like the Ron Paul has been
marginalized. Right? Nobody covers him. You hear that on C
span you'd never see that on a network broadcast Democrat mind
you a Democrat, you never know never. So I've always been kind
of, you know, a loose cannon and nobody pays attention to these
guys. It's all like a big scheme that so that's this covered, you
know, these opinions that are expressed by hammer covered up
meanwhile, but Anthony wiener would get he gets all kinds of
kind of ink coverage. So
Dennis Kucinich was about he wanted to introduce a bill, a
Libya war powers bill onto the floor. And so, of course, while
everybody is looking at anthony Weiner's penis, we're watching C
span, even C span can barely cover it. So this is the guy who
does the following will last about an hour and 47 minutes.
What we've been anticipating in the house was debate over the
War Powers Act and a bill crafted by Congressman Kucinich
of Ohio to end the war in Libya. Well, we learned today that that
resolution H con resolution 51 was pulled from the floor
calendar. Congressman Kucinich responded with this statement.
I'll read a portion. He says in part, the House leadership has
communicated to me via email, that the vote on Libya will be
postponed in an effort to compel more information and
consultation from the administration. I've been asked
to provide input for the information which the house will
seek from the administration. It's clear that the
administration violated Article One, Section Eight of the
Constitution, which reserves to Congress the power to declare
war. It is clear that the administration is in violation
of the War Powers Act, which within a 60 day period, requires
the president to terminate military action or seek
authorization from Congress to continue the military action.
Congress needs to act to defend the Constitution and the
statute. And he concludes, I look forward to the time when we
will debate house concurrent resolution 51 and the
constitutional and statutory issues surrounding the war
power. We will keep you posted on whether this bill gets re
added to the house agenda.
There's your news, everybody. Yeah, so that's the only place
this was reported. Announcer on C span
I didn't know the announcer yet. The announcer and it one hour
this show last one hour guy. Always about an hour. About an
hour. It's
about an hour and 47 minutes and 22 seconds about which will be
followed by a really boring program.
Yeah, no, this is a scandal.
Of course it's and they didn't they sent him an email.
Yeah, I love is an email they sent him a text message on his
phone.
Just tweeted Hey, yeah, tweet. Hey, here's a dentist's ears
forget about to do this. We're pulling this we're pulling this
from the calendar. Yeah, and you know, meanwhile, the all the
stuff
that human resource can be sure that was bipartisan. I mean,
only Ron Paul would probably be on the side. I mean, the two of
them should team up. You know, they should get married for
president vice presidents what they should do, but that's never
gonna happen.
They got no money. They got no money. You can't do it. You got
no
get any money because nobody ever says the whole thing is
rigged.
Now, as we're drawing to the end of the program here, what is
going on down under? In Australia? This? I mean, you
know, I have I hold Australia and their values very highly. I
like the Aussies. You know, they're, they play hard, work
hard, fight hard, drink hard. You know, they do all kinds of
stuff really hard.
And they have their own version of football, which is actually
quite entertaining. Yeah, where
you get beat up and stuff. It's like, yeah, it's good. I like
mazing. Yeah, I like him. I like him. I like him. I've only been
there once. But I really fell in love with the country in them.
And by the way, it's not easy to I've checked if you want to, if
you want to go move to Australia, you have to have
like, no joke, a college degree. And you have to have some
special talents and skills, or $2 million, or some crap like
that. It's not easy to get just a move there. Yeah, if you want
to go live there. Yeah, the immigration laws are very tough.
That may have changed, but what I was reading seems like that's
the deal. So in Victoria, the province of Victoria, where the
VBS come from the Victoria bitters, there is a new law on
the books that will be implemented by the police and
the police do not do they can hand out fines immediately. So
very much like here in Los Angeles, if you if you round the
corner at the wrong time of day you get a $243 Fine. Here's what
is going on in Victoria new laws
to be introduced to the Victorian Parliament this week,
police will have the power to issue on the spot fines to
people using indecent language. But even Attorney General Robert
Clark admits he's used the odd swear word
for things under my breath as probably every everybody does.
But this law is not targeted that that is targeted to sort of
obnoxious, offensive behavior in public that makes life
unpleasant for everybody else,
there are forms a part of the Baillieu government's broader
Law and Order agenda, which includes minimum jail terms for
16 and 17 year olds convicted of violent crimes, and protective
security officers at Suburban police stations. Robert Clark
says the new swear judge should make it easier for police to
deal with antisocial behavior.
Clearly, this sort of Lachish of noxious behavior can be very off
putting for many members of the public who are going about their
ordinary business in public places. It's contributing to a
growing level of antisocial behavior that Victoria has been
experiencing over the last 10 years or so. And this will give
the police the tools they need to be able to act against this
sort of obnoxious behavior on the spot rather
than is this Australian police the tools they said, tools.
Yeah, I said the poop. Can you believe this? I mean, excuse me,
I've been to Australia. There's a swear word every five words.
And that's how they talk. And it's cool. And it's with that
cool accent. It doesn't even sound bad. And so what will the
word be? What's the swear word? When you're in the car with the
swear jar? Well, there may be more to this than might explain
to drag offenders off the court and take up time and money in
proceeding in the court
boss, Tiffany overall from Youth Law says young people feel
they're being targeted. The reality is that young people
more commonly using public spaces and sort of whatever.
Your that brings up a point when she said targeted is that when
you have a situation Russia is known for this. We're basically
there's there's so many onerous laws that you're essentially in
violation of the law all the time. I mean, that's starting to
happen in this because it's definitely happening here.
You're basically you're something you're doing whatever
it is, at any given point, you're doing something illegal,
and all they have to do is target you and say, Well, you
know, let's go get him and because you know, there's always
something so if they, if they're just targeting me, if everyone's
cussing, then the cops can selectively say a fat boy and go
over there and give that guy a ticket. Hey, Fat
Boy, you're too fat. Yeah, but this isn't the cussing thing is
out of control. I mean, that's free speech. It's just words.
No, but they're members of the public who are offended by
offended by such a usage.
So thank you. We'll use that as the opening.
Thank you very much. I knew it was. Yeah, no, I'm actually
doing those now. Just
just to get the opening space. You just want to be there.
Alright, quick rundown. have narcolepsy now. 93 people in
Sweden most of them children just started in Finland. The
first reports after receiving the GlaxoSmithKline flu shot,
kids have been falling asleep. And this is narcolepsy is very
serious. I don't think there's any there's any cure for
narcolepsy is their job. There's no cure.
They narcoleptic people usually get a stiffs prescription of
Provigil.
Oh, good. Does a Glaxo make that as well? No, I don't know who
makes it. So the World Health Organization finally, how long
we've been talking about this three, four months, World Health
Organization now says, Hey, we're gonna look into that.
Yeah, yeah. Well, can I can I make a prediction that there
will be absolutely no link between the swine flu vaccine
and narcolepsy lobby? Coincidence? Yeah, you don't I
don't even put it in.
I'm going to because I actually will come up and I believe it
should be in the book. Yeah.
and the EU, the United States of Europe is now going to review
the safety of aspartame. Can I make another prediction?
completely safe? Not a problem. Eat all the aspartame you want?
It's good for you. This is now now they're just moving into our
territory. Just Just lie about it. Ministry of Truth. It's all
safe. I'll save as happens. Another thing
that's going on right now it's kind of disconcerting. Is that
new E. Coli?
Yeah, this thing in Germany. I have a report of two reports. So
the thing that's, that's weird about it is that it apparently
was killed like 16 people now in Germany. And I've gotten notes
from people in the in Gitmo nation Deutschland and they say
hey, you know, whatever reports you're seeing we're freaking out
over here because this is your veggies. You know this is your
cucumbers your I don't know
though. That's the joke of it. They don't know and they screwed
Spain by false report. We're listening at Spanish cucumbers
listen
to the report and then we can discuss.
Nobody knows the exact source so many react with fear. In Spain,
cucumbers are being thrown away by the cartload. The country has
been accused of being the source of the deadly strain of E. coli.
So veg traders destroy produce, to try
veg traders. How's that one feel for you, John vege traded
reserve
their reputation. Others assert their food is safe, but demand
more information.
That's it? Oh, no alarm and alarm like this can't be raised
without having reliable information. Don't have it.
Neither does Germany and neither does the European Union.
Vegetable markets in Germany have suffered. This market
manager says tomatoes and cucumbers also if your
scientists are trying to identify the strain of E. coli.
So one possibility is that it's come from food that health
conscious women eat cucumbers because they're low calorie.
So this is what's interesting is that this is apparently women
are dying of this. This doesn't attack everybody but primarily
women. Which is kind of
well, they think they think it's because of the what he explained
which is some more women eat healthy. That's what he's trying
to say. But the problem is the epidemic. There's enough cases
of this and epidemiological models should be in play showing
where it's centered and where it's coming from. And you should
by now, you think I mean, in the United States. I mean, we're
isolating stuff within weeks, generally speaking is always a
farm in Salinas, but that's beside the point. But then no
Salinas farms, but we tend to find the place pretty quickly.
They seem to be completely befuddled by the whole thing.
All props,
women are just particularly susceptible to this strain of
the bug. At present, mostly adult people, young adults and
preferably women are severely affected.
I like to use of the word preferably women Hello.
Preferably says preferably.
Well, that's probably some arcane usage that we were not
familiar with.
Or maybe he just wants it to be all women to die.
Young adults and preferably women.
I'm telling you, preferably women, we have preferably women
are going to die from this I believe it
or severely affected. The reason for this is still unknown. There
is some very sophisticated scientific investigation going
on to try to identify this is great. So
they show a guy with a couple of petri dishes very sophisticated
investigation course.
But the real work is old fashioned detective work asking
all the victims what they add, when they added
is that proper English at at that. What they added when they
add, isn't it eight
I would say eight when the eight What is your app
this morning? They are a sorting where they
bought it and trying to find a pattern. In the absence of hard
evidence, many sources come under suspicion until the source
is definitely identified. The best advice remains use the
utmost hygiene when preparing food. Stephen Evans, BBC News,
Berlin,
so but E. Coli. I mean, can you wash that off? I mean, this is
it's it's cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuce and Ober jeans is worth
their warning for
you. Okay? Theoretically, you could unless it's inside the
fruit, which is always a possibility, because it can get
in through different mechanisms, but you can cook it and once
it's cooked, it's okay because it's not
like cucumbers cook or like, well, you know, so we may have
to
do that. There are other uses for cucumbers. Anyway, so
that's how I started the show in case you didn't notice my
opening line. I'm glad we have a throwback at the very end of the
show. Beautiful.
So you should it just kind of coincidental friend of mine sent
me a link I just sent it to you, which we'll put in the show
notes called Travel trots.co.uk. And it's a interactive map of
areas of massive diarrhea and very interesting actually and
the funny thing is is there's country they believe that this E
coli came out of Africa
really what it was they who is they
they the the mysterious they this
is this is a great
site diary. There's a ticket that pops up on my screen. By
it's an airline ticket from Brown air. Did you get this did
you look at this site and get the brown is? That is diarrhea
destinations? Yeah, find your travels. Don't let the travel
trots ruin your trip. Oh my goodness. Click on a continent
then country to see how likely you are to get diarrhea.
Let's click on you're clicked on one of the middle African
countries. I'm
clicking on Europe. Germany nice sound effects. 5% of respondents
have had it this is bogus. 5%. It's like they're saying it's
safe. I mean, safe in Germany. I liked the sound effects of this
is pretty good.
It's just a funny sight. But it's the it's in the news. Let's
put it that way. The E. coli seems to have been some I'm
sorry. That's your website? A new strain of E. coli. That's
not not not good. Well, the World
Health Organization has weighed in I have a quick clip of them.
Well, the
outbreak doesn't look as though it's increasing rapidly. The
Germans and the Europeans think it may well have peaked. Don't
worry,
everybody, it's all safe. We are from the world tour of the World
Health Organization, nothing to fear,
of course, because there's an incubation period between being
exposed and falling ill which might be as long as two weeks.
The outbreak will look as though it's going on look as though
it's increasing in size, when in fact, perhaps Perhaps the
suspect food whatever that is, has been taken off the market.
Only time will tell.
We know about these kidney complications. It's a new
strain. Is it a more vicious strain?
Well, so far, it looks as though it may well be I think we'll
have to wait and see until the dust has settled before we can
be certain of that. But it certainly is as nasty as any of
these particular kinds of E. coli that we've seen in the
past, the number of the proportion of people getting the
hemolytic uremic syndrome, which is the kidney complication
affects the blood and goes on sometimes to affect the brain
and the heart seems to be really quite high in this in this
outbreak, in fact, very high in this outbreak, and it's
affecting people outside the normal risk groups, the very
young and the very old as well. It's as long
as we're killing women. That's all groovy. That's preferable. I
don't know I I'm not alarmist in this. But I think it's weird.
How we're not seeing immediate, huge response, you know, big
news stories. I mean, maybe it's still forthcoming. Maybe the
penis thing with the Boehner in the boxers was, you know, just
too much for Wolf Blitzer to handle anything else. But I do
know that in Gitmo nation Deutschland and now get my
nation these people are starting to freak out they're very
worried and we have to track down the source right, kind of
like the ground zero of this E. Coli.
Yeah, you have to track down to source now it could have been
some one tainted supply of one type of food. That could be you
know, gotten you parsley for all, you know, that got into the
food supply, and then it got eaten up and that was the end of
it. And you know, and then disappear. We'll never know what
happened, which is a possibility the way this at least the way
that guy describes it, but generally speaking, you
shouldn't be able to figure it out. You know, there's got to be
somebody that can figure this out. I mean, it didn't just
mysteriously appear out of the blue all over the place.
Well, maybe we just want to kill off the women and reduce the
population seems preferably, preferably, preferably, it seems
exactly what we want to do. And I gotta hurry up because I gotta
get the show up and then we're off to go get the rental van and
Sunday. Well, hopefully there will be your show.
And we're gonna say hi to listeners in Palm Springs,
California and Death Valley. Hey, by the way, just outside of
Palm Springs as you're heading there on that road. There is a
much shopping there's a mall outlet mall on the left side of
the freeway just before you get to Palm Springs. That is one of
the best in California you should go there and buy
something.
And what should I buy? I don't know whatever you
think you whatever you buy at an outlet mall.
Okay, fine.
So be careful what you do with that cucumber, and everybody and
we will be back with you coming from the ghetto nation Hot
Pockets across America. 2008 tour van the test van on Sunday.
Currently here at the hilltop Watchtower crackpot command
center and get my nation West. I'm Adam curry,
and from Northern Silicon Valley where I did have something
clever to say. But I lost it in the shuffle somewhere. I prime
maybe next week. I'll have it. Um, John C. Dvorak will talk to
you again
on Sunday. Right here on no agenda. Mr. Oil is next on the
stream.
