Adam curry, John C. Dvorak.
It's Thursday, July 28 2011. Time for your gizmo nation media
assassination episode three to five. This is no agenda.
Reporting from the frontlines of Gitmo nation from before wins
5000 crackpot command center, known as the Dutchess here in
the Big Easy, the great state of Louisiana in the morning,
everybody. I'm Adam curry.
And from the normal old northern Silicon Valley where the
connections probably crap because of Louisiana. I'm John
C. Dvorak.
Raglan Buzzkill.
We knew it would suck somewhere along the line, it might as well
be here. In the morning to your joy
in the morning, you Adam and all ships at sea and boots on the
ground and foots in the air and, and airplanes in the sky.
And of course, all of our human resources all charged up and
ready to go in the chat room and no agenda stream.com no agenda
chat.net living out the American dream of just getting by and
slowly depreciating your $9.2 million lifetime value.
Yay.
So a couple of interesting items showed up in the New York Times
this morning.
There's nothing interesting in the New York Times. Nothing.
Okay, nevermind.
Go ahead mention him. What do you got? Well, actually,
we'll just uh, probably the world's best you can find this
but the world's I think the world's worst photo for front
page, New York Times photo I've ever seen in my life of a bunch
of people shooting their iPhones at something in the air. And
then and then on the lower half of the paper, there's a giant,
but in the form of a
water tower in the form of a question.
Or tower. Yeah. And a story that is interesting, because I wanted
to ask you this was I saw this front page headline. I said, I
have to ask Adam about whether or not desert desert or a movie
coming? Because here's let me just read you the headline
seeking alien life forms right here on
Earth. I'm sure there's something lined up. But I don't
need something like that. But why would you have a front page
story in The New York Times about alien life life forms
right here on Earth? Unless there's a movie coming out?
Yeah, well, I'm sure the human resources can find it for us.
But I'm not aware of any one. I do know that the movie themes
are catching on, particularly in in the White House. Here's an
ask John, for you. This is from spokes hold Carney. And he is
actually it's a riddle. And this is, of course, about the debt
show, because that's what it is. It's the American Idol of
politics today.
The getting me annoyed, by the way. Oh,
and I think actually, I can deconstruct some of this. And I
was able to do a little bit of work on it. But I'm gonna want
you to listen to what he's saying. I'm going to stop the
clip. And then you're going to guess what movie he's referring
to.
Now, does the United States continue to take in money? Of
course it does. But the point is, that, beyond after we cease
to have the capacity to borrow money, every 60 cents we take in
is 30 cents to the dollar we need to pay out and you create a
situation. Movie analogies are popular these days, you create a
situation where you have real people who suffer in addition to
the impact on your, your interest rates, whether you have
a car loan, mortgage, a student loan or credit card, interest
rates go up.
Okay. So what he's talking about is a movie analogy. And what do
you think that movie is John?
The Grapes of Wrath note to tax
on everybody. Okay, in addition to that, among the many
obligations we have the 80 million checks that the Treasury
Department alone issues payments that IT issues every month of
the 1.2 billion payments the federal government makes in a
year those include veterans payments, Social Security
payments, disability payments, they include the bills the
contractor
so what he's talking about here is of the 80 million checks
which is the new number mean by the way, which one are we not
going to set send out if we don't raise the debt ceiling
Come on. Oh, my darling have fun well, we're
not gonna send out the obviously the Social Security checks will
be the top of the
ladies but this Yeah, but this is about a movie what movie Come
on. It's Oh, no,
I have no idea.
It's about tough choices, tough choices in your what could be
his choice.
A very good, the crew, the people who manufacture the
ammunition that we send to our troops in Afghanistan. Just
choices that have to be made. That is a safe
choice, right as an idiot
Sophie's Choice. So what he's doing is he's comparing the
choosing between one of your two children to be gassed by the
Nazis. To which checks we're not going to send out, Are you
effing kidding me Carney?
You know, what's else is getting on my nerves is this idea that,
you know, I've got a car loan, and I'm paying $199 a month, and
now all of a sudden now because they're gonna, they're gonna
pass I'm gonna have to pay more. Yeah, I've contracted out my car
loan for a specific amount of payment. It doesn't have a
variable interest rate that bounces all over the place. And
I get a check error a bill in the mail for 250 bucks on my 199
loan the next day, because there's this this bull crap.
Well, so I figured something very important now. Actually,
two things because I've done some work, one on where this
cap, balanced duck and cover came from, which of course, is a
bill submitted by the Republicans. Right. And, and
then I've done some research into Moody's and I think there's
two things going on here. So the first one is, this actually was,
I think, Chris Matthews. And he's got a little Timmy Geithner
on the show. And he's asking about what's the plan? What's
the plan, Timmy? What's the plan? And of course, Timmy won't
answer. But we have to listen to this to then go back in time to
a clip we actually played on no agenda, which was an eye opener
for me right question,
and I'm counting on a straight answer. The president said
Friday, he has talked to you about what adjustments may have
to be made in the case of default. Your office announced
that you met with Fed Chairman Bernanke and the head of the New
York Federal Reserve on Friday. What's your plan
for the fall, our plan is to get Congress to raise the debt
ceiling on time. That's not a plan. That's their plan to
That's what's always happening to we do not have the ability,
Chris, to protect the American people. From the consequences of
Congress not taking that out.
The President said that you have discussed what adjustments will
have to be made if you go into default.
Again, I want to I want to emphasize just remember, this is
the United States of America, we write 80 million checks a month,
there's the 80 million checks. Again, there are millions and
millions of Americans that depend on those checks coming on
time, not just people to supply our military. But people get
security benefits, Medicare, Medicaid benefits, and we cannot
put those payments at risk. And we do not have the ability to
limit the damage on them. If Congress fails to act and time.
Again this for months at I must say it made more sense when you
said it in April than when you're saying it in July. What's
your plan? It would be irresponsible not to have a
plan. The president says you have a plan. What is it?
Again, we will do everything we can to mitigate damage. But I
want to be very quiet.
So he goes on and on. And he doesn't answer the question
about what a plan is. Now, I remember planned out as I was,
as I was reading through the cap, balance, duck and cover
bill. I'm remembering a clip that we played a couple of weeks
ago from Little Timmy short clip. And he uses a word in
there that all of a sudden explains exactly what is going
on. You're describing
an outcome that will essentially be two tiered downpayment. Now
longer term agreement like yeah, we
can't we don't we, we don't see a realistic path to solving all
this at once in the next few weeks. It's just not not
possible. What we're trying to do is to do a framework where
there's a substantial down payment of spending reforms that
lock in spending state deficit reduction over a 10 year period
of time. And then a framework of constraints, we call it a debt
failsafe or a set of targets and triggers that will force the
remaining deficit reduction to happen soon enough, so we don't
fall behind the curve in this. So we're looking at what we call
it a debt cap, nothing a constraint that says we have to
get our deficit to the point down to the point where a debt
burden is falling as a share of GDP over the next three to five
years. So whatever we don't do in the down payment will have to
do in the next couple of years. And if Congress can't act, we
want an automatic enforcement mechanism that locks in this
deficit reduction savings we need.
So without reading the cap, cut, balance duck and cover Bill, you
won't understand this clip. This was colluded way before this
shows kicked off. This is actually the Obama plan the cut
cap balance
and duck and cover
that was already set up. They had already agreed to do it.
Here's Timmy explaining it in what was this? This is June 23.
We're going to have a cap with a structured framework approach.
And Obama keeps using the word balanced balanced balance. This
is all one big show.
Well, we've known that from the get go
I know but it's nice to actually have little Timmy using these
words on tape. So you can see how far back good
is taken. There scripting is really weak,
totally lame. Now Moody's interesting news from Moody's
yesterday. Moody's, by the way is you know, so that's one of
the two ratings ratings agencies that were also incredibly afraid
of, and they're gonna they're gonna downgrade us which they
will I still predict that even though John doesn't agree, their
profit advanced 56% as a publicly traded company, and
here's what clued me into something interesting, as bond
sales spurred demand for credit ratings. So Moody's now their
net income climbed $189,000,000.82 a share. They're
doing about a billion dollars and a billion dollars in
revenue. Is it a company that does like credit ratings? i It's
got the slide whistle. So I say what, how do these guys make
their money? What exactly is their business? And here's how
it works. Whether you're a company or a country or any
other type of financial instrument, when you issue
bonds, Moody's, you pay Moody's to give that bond a credit
rating, which by itself inherently is a conflict of
interest. Because if Moody's doesn't say, well, we'll give
your bonds a triple A right out of the gate, maybe you should go
and talk to Standard and Poor's, or Fitch or any of the other
ratings agencies. But then 35% of Moody's revenue is recurring
fees. And this is this is what got me recurring fees are fees
for providing the credit rating throughout the lifetime of each
individual bond. So I think and if and maybe you can ask our
buddy Horowitz about this. I think that Moody's is saying,
we're going to doubt so obviously, if there's no bond
issues, these guys have less revenue, so they need more bonds
to be issued. I think Moody's is probably saying, if you guys
don't do another QE three, or if you don't issue more bonds, if
we don't get more debt on the books, which we then make money
from, we're going to downgrade your existing bonds. Yeah, I
suppose they could say something like that they wanted to to the
head.
I don't know. I don't know. I think I think I think Wall
Street is, is obviously in cahoots. We just found out today
there's a billion dollar hedge against that has just been
placed against the the US defaulting so basically betting
on the US default, not defaulting but on a downgrade. A
billion dollar hedge is not the kind of stuff that always
happens like with 911 You know, people start investing in puts
on airlines.
Well, yeah, it does happen when things are rigged. But again,
like I said, this is not going to happen. Moody's, Moody's will
be assassinated. Now,
there's something there's something about Moody's that we
don't understand. Because these guys you know, they were never
prosecuted, there was no real investigation into their triple
A ratings of all the collateral debt obligations. Now these guys
they they walk on water.
They are the point of the pyramid somehow. Well, we'll
see. All right. Well, we the whole thing
is theater. I mean, you know, this is just getting it now. And
now it's chewing up so much time. You know, we're missing
out on good real news stories and alien life forms and blimps
crashing in the middle of nowhere. I
know isn't that cool? We got like some surveillance blimp
that crashed.
Yes, sir. Over Philadelphia. Yeah, it was Yeah.
What is it doing up there? Oh, well, it was supposed to be
floating around
on the Phillies, I guess I don't know maybe looking for pitch
counts. I'm not sure what they're doing up there.
It's not okay.
That's not okay. With cherry.
We got we got
blimps at 40,000 feet Oh, sorry. Crash No, I
supposed to go to 60,000 feet when they finishes they can't
see it at all. Oh, man. I mean, you can't see anything at 60,000
feet. Now the thing is, when these things crashed like this
one did I want to advise people out there if they ever if one of
them rushed through it as fast as you can and just and you have
to physically going to pull off the good cameras because there's
some really expensive you're on grab that. You got to get there
quick and you got to pull off like it looked like it was
damaged in flight. You don't want to saw it off or cut it off
with anything that makes it look like you've cut it off because
then they'll just they'll find you that you got to rip it off.
And then you got to take it and put immediately put it in a some
sort of room where you're not gonna get any more RF because I
believe there may be a transmit on anything there and find it
you know, there's a little transmitter and crush it with
your foot. You have a nice piece of gear.
You can do great Skype calls with it. You awesome Skype video
Wow man, I can see every pimple on your face. What kind of
cameras that you guys got a new Logitech.
Can you imagine the kind of camera that you would take
accurate? You know, pictures at 60,000 feet? I mean, it'd be
some good some nasty lenses on that thing.
Oh, man, I'm telling you. Yeah. Now there is a lot of stuff. And
there's some some funky stuff that that I've stumbled across.
Because this of course, is really covering up everything.
What have we not heard about Libya? Which essentially, I
think we've just we just declared victory, haven't we?
Well, I have an interesting and I think rather amusing Libya
clear, okay. Which just essentially says that the
British have declared victory or they've they've declared some
new government, and then they've kicked everybody out of their
expensive Knightsbridge embassy, and they got one guy left down.
They told me he's got like he's given him an eviction notice
he's got like, couple of days he's got to get out.
Now after months of NATO bombing and continuing combat on the
ground, the international effort to remove Muammar Gaddafi from
power got another boost today, Britain declared the rebel
National Transitional Council as the legitimate governing
authority and expelled Libya's remaining diplomats in London.
The move follows France and the US and also paves the way to
unfreezing millions of dollars of Libyan assets. But will it
make a difference on the ground? The BBC has Caroline Hawley
reports.
The green flag of Colonel Gaddafi is Libya. Today's move
to treat the rebels as the government now is a significant
boost for them, Britain following the US and France in
intensifying the pressure on the Libyan regime.
We no longer recognize them as the representatives of the
Libyan government. And we're inviting the National
Transitional Council to appoint a new Libyan diplomatic envoy to
take over the Libyan Embassy in London.
Libya's Embassy in London is in Knightsbridge, the ambassador
here was expelled in May. Now the shotty de fer has three days
to leave all the other diplomats must go as well. Yeah, they
gotta
get out because the those al Qaeda guys are coming in. Yeah,
the rebels that this is amazing.
Yeah, so they steal their property in Knightsbridge, which
is gotta be a high rent.
And it's actually I think an embassy sits on actual sovereign
ground does it
not? Yeah, but yeah, how do you steal it? Yeah,
I mean, that's that's like cap capturing another country right
there. Hey, get out. We got new tenants coming. Your lease is up
let the door hit you
know, they've said you know, but you know, Qaddafi can stay in
Libya. It's all cool. Yeah, like we're just take over here. The
EU was opened up an office. It's so brazen. Of course we're not
paying any attention to that here in like don't get
ha really expected it to be this difficult.
Oh, no, they do. No, they didn't. And they had all the
plans set and and the eviction notices ready. You know, like,
oh, man, this guy's being a troublemaker. He's like fighting
back. Yeah, who said he wasn't
going to fight back. Jenkins get Jenkins in here. He's the one
who said they wouldn't fight back. Jenkins What were you
thinking? Yeah.
Show me that blueprint. Again. Show me that path.
Because Obama guy saying we're going to be out in days.
Not we were we tell him days, not weeks. I mean, just listen
to it again and make sure
it is US policy, that Gadhafi 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
now was March 21 2011. March, April, May, June, July is now
four months, almost half a year. That's not even weeks. That's
not even weeks, days. Not not weeks. Now please. Hey, John.
I'm here in in New Orleans, Louisiana as part of the 2008
tour and we've had a great time since you and I last spoke a lot
has happened a lot of miles have passed in in four days time.
Kind of give you a little update.
Yeah, what's going on? How's the how's the old man holding up
the Duchess as it's now been christened is doing okay.
There's a couple it's you know, we are filled with with even
more bumps cuts, scrapes and bruises. You get to six foot
plus people in the in a box. And it's a little complicated. The
one thing that's really annoying though, is I keep hitting the
top of my head against the bathroom door. You know like
right over and over. Yeah, the crown of your head.
Yeah. those bathrooms and those things are like little like
something in a submarine. Yeah.
So that's, that's, that's annoying. I'm kind of getting
over my cold really helped being here in Louisiana, where
humidity is I think it's 900%. And I just sweat everything out.
I'm now a dried up shrivel of a man. There's nothing left in me.
No moisture, nothing. But it's been great here. We had a couple
of couple of meetups. And I do have some hot pockets producers
to mention later on. But we had our Of course, we had our meetup
in Pensacola, which actually we didn't know we had slipped over
the state line into Lilianne, Alabama. And we noticed this
when we when we rolled into the RV park and then we we want to
get we had like two hours. And we went to the camp store, which
is what it's called today. Can we call a cab that take us to
the fish house in Pensacola? And the lady lady gives us look like
what you want to go to Florida. There's no cab going to take you
to Florida son, that thing gonna happen.
So
Brian and Candice were nice enough to get it. Don't
you guys have a map?
Well, it was like right over the line. It was really, really
weird, weird area where this campground is and you basically
you cross the train tracks, and then you're in Alabama. But we
got picked up and Patrick and producer Patrick had set up a
great meet up, we had about eight or 10 people. And I gotta
tell you, man, I learned a lot about what's going on here. You
know, of course, this entire Gulf Coast region all lives on
the oil industry. Don't I mean? Yeah, fisheries. Sure, some of
it. But right now, people are way, way, way broke, is really
bad. And the stories were just depressing. I mean, seriously,
people out of work for a year moving back with their parents.
The only jobs are some government jobs.
And actually, Candice, producer, Candice who is just a ball of
fire from Alabama. And she lives on a compound with her husband,
Brian, they got a compound, all the families live in there, they
got guns and stuff. She tell her like, this is really cool. I
want to go visit. I didn't have time, but I wanted to go visit
the compound. And they got guns and iPads. And so she and she
trained a lot of people took the training for clean up. And even
though she didn't do the actual cleanup, she received a letter
from NIH, it's the Gulf study, a health study for oil spill
cleanup workers and volunteers. Now note, she did not actually
participate in the cleanup, but she did take the training. And
these are, of course, the same people who told you you don't
need respirators or anything, it's gonna be all fine. Don't
worry about it. Now they're doing a 10 year study on
people's lungs to see if there was any negative effects of the
cleanup crews. And they will be testing their lungs, their
blood. Let's see what else do I have here and the note if you
will participate in the study, you agree for us to send an
examiner to your home to collect some dust from your home. The
examiner will also measure your lung function. I mean, it's like
are you kidding me?
And then it actually says
what you're doing here is very important because you can help
future cleanup crews not die. And for your trouble. You get a
$50 gift card.
What to show? Yeah, yeah,
you'll be then contacted every two to three years to answer
questions about your health. If you are selected, you will
receive a gift card worth $50 for completing the home visit.
Have a nice death.
I wonder if they have some deal with you? It's like you know
those girls on girls gone wild. They they essentially give up
their rights to the video. Yeah, forever. Yeah, sure.
Yeah, exactly. You get the t shirt, and then we're jerking
off to your video for the next 15 years.
So I wonder if there's anything like that going on?
Well, it's like a reality show.
No, here's your $50 and now you can't sue. Oh, no, no, we just
gonna die.
No, you have to understand that. They had huge payouts. There
were waitresses getting $50,000 payouts, dishwashers getting
$12,000 payouts for money that they lost because of all of the
loss tourism, my revenue
and they have different that's a different thing than getting
your health pay. No, that's a
different thing. But this is really important because
everybody who took the money and let's be honest, if you can Get
50 grand as a one time payout. Everybody had to sign the big
waiver? No suing you can never talk about it. You can't. It's
just like the 911 victims when the families of the victims fund
you can't sue the government ever about this. Oh, no, no, no
this all happened. And then to hear all these people talk about
the weekend when the oil disappeared, because that's
literally what happened is the oil was floating. Everyone saw
it coming in. Everyone was like getting ready to participate in
scooping it and they were building big scoopers no one's
oil, scoopers would be approved by the Coast Guard. And then
Saturday morning, in came the C 130s. And within 24 hours, or 36
hours, all the oil had been sunk after the corrects it was
sprayed. And it's gone. Problem solved. So, and no one really
knows what what what the long term effects will be. But it's
it's people are depressed here. It's not nice.
Which made the trip the trip extra fun, John.
It was as depressing.
Yeah. And of course,
we had a great meetup yesterday here in New Orleans. Talk about
some of the producers for that as well, in our donation
segment. We had it at the red fish. And it was great. I had my
first
fried oysters. Well, man, those are so good. Really? Oysters?
Yeah,
I'd never had fried have had raw oysters, but I never had fried
oysters. Certainly not with me. Yes, people
would have never had raw oysters. No, I don't know. The
raw oysters down their way. I don't consider to be a world
class. No offense to you Louisiana heights.
You know, there's a lot of talk at the meetup. People are not
too happy with how you slam New Orleans the last time you were
here on the show. And you're saying like the food it's you
know, it's boring. It's all the same cage and blah, blah. And
people are like not liking that. Here. You are, I think
yeah, your persona, or that I would be tarred and feathered.
If I showed up tomorrow. Yeah, you wouldn't be
your persona non grata in New Orleans. They got guys outside
like, hey, hey, is Devorah here. I'll kick his ass.
No, they
need they know what to do there. I'm not I'm not bullshitting
anybody. I mean, the fact is a New Orleans is not up to par
when it comes to cuisine. We have this old fashion is it
doesn't they haven't modernized. They have a lot of good. They
have a good history of cooking and they like to cook and they
like to eat. But there's a couple of things they have to
realize. One is our oysters aren't that great? And the, you
know, the food is a little dated.
Now, I understand why you don't come out on the road with us.
People not gonna like you, man. Seriously, you got to be careful
with that. Although everyone says they everyone I meet is
like, yeah, I started How did you start listening to the show?
Oh, you know, I heard John on twit, everybody. Like you gotta
get on that show more often?
It does. It would No, I think we've already saturated and we
got to find some other show.
Yeah, maybe you can get on the Piers Morgan or something. Or
maybe do it. That'd be that's the audience we're
looking for. Maybe you can do a quick hit on Duffy, a bunch of
phone women that are you know, stuffy old women. Listen to
Piers Morgan.
You know, Piers Morgan is in trouble, though. Have you? Have
you heard the latest proof that he was a part of the of the
phone tapping scams?
I know what's going on, but I haven't heard the latest proof.
Okay, so he was on a show called Desert Island Discs. And I'm
sure that either maybe the UK version or certainly the
American version, there's an American version of it
somewhere. The whole idea of the show is it's an hour long show.
It's one guest you're on a deserted island, or a desert
island. And you're allowed to bring, you know, 10 Records,
what are they and then you talk about them. And so Pierce is on
the show a while back. And here's part of the conversation
that ensued ish
and fought about this nice middle class boy who would have
to be dealing with I mean, essentially people who rake
through bins for a living people who are tight people's phones,
people who take secret photographs and do all that very
nasty down in the gutter stuff. How did you feel about that?
Well, to be honest, put that in perspective as well. Not a lot
of that went on. A lot of it was done. No, a lot of it was done
by third parties rather than the staff themselves. That's not to
defend it because obviously you you were running the results of
their of their work. I am quite happy to be parked in the corner
of tabloid beast and to have to sit here defending all these
anxieties to get up to that make no pretense about the stuff we
used to do. I simply say the net of people doing it was very wide
and certainly encompass the high and the low end of the
supposedly newspaper market.
Everybody was doing it. Well, that we do believe that
everybody was
doing it. So I'll take that I'll take that.
Well, you know, the way he talks about third parties, it'd be
nice if he would have said something about the Russians
here.
I think I think it's, well, who cares?
Well, as a matter of fact, it is pretty weak. What do you mean? I
mean, who cares? It's what I mean. It's like why why is it
being discussed at all? So a bunch of guys are so phone
hacking, you phone hacking, phone hacking,
and people don't realize that you can just download a program
off the internet use it with Skype, I guess or some other SIP
protocol is that as long as you're calling a phone number,
mobile phone number, and your caller ID is the same as the
number you're calling you get dumped to voicemail
automatically no password needed. This is like brain
hacking. So like stumbling upon something I mean, and what and
again, what are you gonna get besides Hey, this is Bill, can
you call me back?
Well, I have to say there is a different culture of voicemail
in in other countries. So in Gitmo nation East texting is is
very big but so our voicemails here in the States I don't think
we use voicemail very much at all. And texting is only just
beginning. But voicemail is a very big deal in in the UK.
People use it very long
line with complicated detailed messages on voicemail.
Yeah, I think so. I think so. That's a blunder. Yeah.
Well, people are stupid.
We have some people that help us out that aren't stupid. Okay.
Pretty good. Is that good? Was Was that good? I
think you should get a little cowbell hit there for yourself.
Come on. You don't have the disease. You're very good. So
you understand you your dad was playing your cut the cowbell
this morning? Yeah. And you told me this upset at you because you
are known as the cowbell man. Yes. I
daily source company. Nobody knows this.
Then listen to the show.
You know what you are. You're pissing off the Germans. You're
pissing off the Louisianans and all daily source code listeners
who know I am a cowboy. Oh,
wait a minute.
I am the cowbell man.
What did I say about the Germans?
I don't know. But the chat room is all about Johnny's to shut up
about the German so I'll take their word for
it. German
don't know. Hey, we were complaining about the Germans
not donating.
Oh, yeah, well, that's true.
Germans are cheap. It's a known fact that Germans admit to it.
So we got some guys who aren't though including very bad. We
got mentioned some of our executive producers. We have
quite a few for today's show. We have 1234566 Executive
Producers, a couple of social executives, but it's all led by
Steven Pels. mocker Baron Baron von Pels markers in Belgium.
When he says in the morning a special donation for two tanks
of gas for the no agenda tour mobiel and some spare change for
munchies along the way, non Monsanto munchies Of course,
which is going to be impossible to get by the way in the near
future. All the best $500 from our favorite night,
you know, we actually so it's funny because Baron von Pels
markers emailed me said, you know, what does it take to fill
that thing up? I said, well, here in the south gasses about
$3.55. Of course, it's a difference in taxes. So we take
55 gallons, so we did the computation there. And we did
find actually, we were given in Tampa by Ellen. Ellen DeHaan. We
were given Glee, chewing gum, which does not contain contain
aspartame. It is made with sugar and Chipotle, and Chipotle.
John, you can probably explain what that is, is actually the
original substance used in Chiclets chewing gum.
Yeah, it's a rubber right? Yeah, that's
I'm chewing the rubber I'm like It tastes pretty good. So flavor
Yeah. Oh, yeah. Thank you very much Baron Vaughn Pels markers
We highly appreciate that support and it does matter.
Because Wow, this thing is just slurping it
up. Now but so now I want to mention except for a couple of
people like get James Free Hello books.com. Sir James, actually
in Summerfield North Carolina, something was wrong with the Pay
Pal. And we don't have the cities for by half of the
people. So you're gonna have to excuse it if you think it was
important that we mentioned your city, although it's mostly to
mention the countries and it's a notable mention the future.
James 300 books is in at 333 33 in the morning for Brian Watson
in Raleigh, North Carolina who bought Atlas Shrugged for 303
feet tall.

right. Jennifer Buchanan from Parts Unknown 333 33 Paul
Schneider Sir Paul will be eventually I guess 333 33 This
donation puts me over the $1,000 mark. Thanks for the hard work
on the show. Hopefully this helps you get Adam and Mickey a
couple of miles closer to home. heading in the wrong direction.
I have to tell you, Susan, bring them Brigham 333 33 and Robert
harms three to five which makes him the sole member the three to
five club Hi, John and really enjoy the show. So here's some
values for value my poor graduate student Wow. Studying
for my PhD but love hearing about Adams journey across the
US. So I'm sending in some GASMA reminds me of the Steinbeck's
travels with Charlie in search of America, where he's not with
Charlie, but he's with Mickey. Yeah,
it's exactly like that it's traveled with Mickey. It's the
exact same thing where I
documented his travels through the rural America. add me to
your list of listeners working for the federal government as
I'm currently working at the UN AFRL research lab. Andrew harms
as Andrew harms. It says her Herbert harms on the thing but
as Andrew, David, Rama Gusa $20. And Susan and Susan is in again
for her birthday. $200 Happy birthday and my son Tyler and he
will give him a call out later. And he's apparently an avid
listener to the podcast. I want to thank these executive
producers for spots financing this show today and then get
credit as Adam will explain. Yes. And
I do want to point out that David Rama, Rama gosa, his $200
was donated yesterday at the meetup. He did it right there on
his on his phone with his lovely daughters, who all work at
Starbucks, by the way, which was kind of interesting. He's got a
caffeinated family. And We highly appreciate that we'll be
talking more about some of the producers from the meetups and
their contributions to the Duchess's gas fund. And yes,
indeed, these credits that we hand out that we don't mention
that often enough, they are real credits. The same goes for
knighthoods. I mean, who died and made the Queen of England
the only one who can do that, you know, we have just as much
right as anyone else. So these executive producers and
Associate Executive Producers are 100% real credit, you can
put them on your business cards, you can put them on your IMDB
page, if you have that. And unlike all the phonies in
Hollywood, we will actually vouch for you. And you know, if
someone questions this credit, then there's a couple of PR
mentions that I have these in the form of websites, domain
names, which have been registered and now forwarding to
no agenda. show.com a matter of days, not weeks.com is
forwarding to no agenda. show.com And I think that
website will be valid for years to come. No, yeah, along with
the compromised media.com And Australia carbon tax.com. Some
good ones there. No, I like that one. Yeah. Dave said, I tried to
get the sciences in.com. But I couldn't look like Tim Flannery.
He's the Aussie wanker pushing for climate tax is pimping his
new book called The weathermakers. So he's already
registered that but I did get the science is.in And that is
not forwarding to no agenda. show.com Here is my favorite.
This is we actually we we kind of have to play the this is what
everyone's talking about. I mean, we at every meet up.
Everyone raises their glass and says, here's to just getting by
and living the American dream. As one of our producers from the
Ozarks, registered just getting by.com to forward to no agenda
show.com
In the end, the folks I hear from and letters or meet when I
travel across the country, they aren't asking for much. They're
just looking for a job that covers their bills. They're
looking for a little financial security. They want to know that
if they work hard and live within their means everything
will be alright. They'll be able to get ahead and give their kids
a better life. That's the dream each of us hands for ourselves
and our family.
That's what I had last night. I had that dream she is
getting by just getting by everybody loves this is our
President's vision of everything.
That's right. No, everyone's like, wow. So we also got just
getting by.net and Obama's American dream.com So that's
fantastic. Then some Hold on.
Let me just do this properly.
We have killin brown people.com A brand new domain name
forwarding to no agenda show.com
What is it again? I
could you broke, killing brown people.com Oh chance another
thing we're good at party in the cia.com. Now also forwarding to
our show site and that is as a tribute to Weird Al Yankovic
slightest parody record. Have you heard it party in the
cia.com?
No, no,
you want to hear it. You want to hear a little bit of free play
to the
play a little bit of it?
Oh, hold on a second. It's weird. Al is amazing. So it's,
it's Party in the USA. It's a parody of that. But he's talking
about the party in the CIA and the guy is all of a sudden term
political and I love Weird Al Yankovic for check it out.
Recently, recently, where the plane and Turnbull dream, want
to infiltrate some third world and toppled a regime. Man in
Black weather man just in cases where everything's on I need to
know. Agents got that swag every once a while. And feeling
nervous, but I'm really kinda wishing for an undercover
mission. On the Red Alert came on the radio, I
got my dog song. And I had my web and drama. So I get my
you really gotta listen to the whole thing. He's a certain
point. He's thinking like, we have a better dental plan FBI. I
mean, just goes on and on. It's such a beautiful, very cute,
yeah, the guy's awesome. Really good. I think the irony may be
lost on most people. Like why don't you make a song about
partying in the CIA makes no sense. And again, it sounds
weird. I do want to mention that we now have a bad signal for
Windows. And this will be in the links that Rakim also have it in
the show notes three to five that any show notes.com This is
a Nick who has created the bat signal for Windows, it's often
it's he's following our value for value model. So it's open
source, freeware available to all no agenda producers and
citizens of the interwebs alike. So make sure you check that out.
And then what I have to say is one of the coolest new producer
projects, I still have to hit hook up Doug to it to make it
completely finalized. No agenda cannon.com. Now this is pretty
cool. You can shoot the no agenda cannon, it will then send
out a tweet and you do it through a donation to pay pal.
And Doug will eventually start reading all of these cannon
shots on the stream. And I think Have you seen the site? John?
It's just it's it's I have
I'm just wondering where the would Pay Pal account we're
dealing with here where that where all that money's going.
You would?
I don't know. I guess I guess we're not getting it.
It's so I presume he'll send a portion of the proceeds. So I
think
we should just use the our Pay Pal Walmart credit Pay Pal
account and give it to him and have him put it in there. It's
just a website.
Right? Why don't you take that up with him? That'd be a good
idea. All right. So we want to thank our executive producers
Baron Steven Pels. Mark Vaughn Pels markers are executive
producers and 333 club members James Free Harlow books.com,
Jennifer Buchanan, Paul Schneider, Susan L. Brigham. And
of course a three to five member and executive producer herb,
Herbert Nam sorry, Andrew harms, David Romo gosa and his lovely
Starbucks daughters for supporting our show making sure
we don't have to resort to basically playing commercials
would ruin the cell and we would have no show whatsoever and of
course, we do have a message for everyone else you need to go out
and propagate the formula.
Our formula is this we go out we hit people in the mouth
stay with me now. Shut UPS
found the slide whistle
Yeah, no kidding. I hadn't noticed. Let's see. I actually
found a lot of interesting stuff. If I can
go back to spokes Oh, Kearney for a moment. I watched his
entire
press briefing. Guy such a dick. Here's what he says.
He because it is a little dick. This guy really annoys me.
Yeah, and I think he's short.
Does that. Does that make any sense? It looks it looks like he
has. I think he might have a Napoleon Complex one of these
deals.
No, no, that's fine. You know, I think at Wikipedia, they should
have people's height. Yeah. Thank you. Yeah, they
got their age mine as well.
I think we should have not I think about I think we should
have a movement to origin when you go to Wikipedia fast, how
tall somebody is and then put their height in there. I agree.
I mean, your heights, not in your Wikipedia thing, it should
say your six, five or whatever it is
517.
So, listen to what he tells Fox News.
One other quick point, I think on CBS radio this morning, Dan
Pfeiffer said that, if Congress does not act by August 2, this
could lead to a depression. Is that your position that we might
have a depression?
Depression is how you what I know what economic experts have
said is that and again, Republican and Democrat, Jim
Baker, Ronald Reagan, all sorts have said that a default in our
obligations would produce an economic calamity. How that how
you define that, obviously, depends on on how long it lasts,
and what the ongoing implications of that would be.
We don't believe it's come to pass. You know, economic
calamity is plenty scary. And we should not even entertain but
over the
weekend, Democrats are saying there's gonna be a Boehner drop
if there's no action, Asian markets are going to crash on
Sunday. It didn't happen. American markets didn't crash on
Monday. Thankfully, they have not.
But you should be on the air and tell your viewers there's
nothing to worry about. That's, that's that's one of
the Hold on a second. We got to give them a formal you got to go
on the air until you view is there's nothing to worry about
dead is a calamity.
Isn't that horrible?
The guy's a dick.
Yeah, he's done that a couple times.
Meanwhile, he freely admits that they leaked stuff to the press.
I don't even think he realized he said this
president, former presidents about this, as he consulted with
the woman is asking if if there's any secret meetings,
see if I can get an answer on
that. And also, other stalemates and other administrations.
Presidents have gone to the hip and talk to members of Congress.
And right now there's a division within the Republican Party.
Witness White House thinks that this is the time maybe to go
there and talk to members of the GOP
I think there's been no shortage of meetings between this
president leaders of Congress both parties I mean, both are
the ones you know about and they're probably a handful that
we still haven't leaked or let you know.
Ah, whoa with that we haven't leaked. Oh, is that is that your
practice Kearney.
Oh, that's a good catch.
What a douche.
That's unbelievable.
He actually tries to recover listen, he tries to recover by
saying talk to
this President leaders in Congress, both parties. I mean,
both are the ones you know about and they're probably a handful
that we still haven't leaked or let you know what you know
about. So
let you let you know about I mean, leak.
Yeah. Nice. How
Yeah, that's how it works. That's how it were big show the
big. These guys
are so loose, that they dropped bombs. Like that is
unbelievable.
Yeah. And no one picks up on it. No,
that's why they can be so loose. It just it's like a goldmine for
us. So
let me get this let me get one more thing out of the way. And
then who can be calling me during the show? That makes no
sense. Go away.
And it's great. It's what I can see why you why you complain
about some sounds because that thing comes through here and
just blows up my ears. What the
ringing of the phone?
Yeah, sorry.
So there's two there's, there's two clips I want to play get
them out of the way and then we'll be done with it. Paul the
book I did some work for me. And you know, this whole corporate
jet owners and you know, quoting of corporate,
corporate, corporate, corporate,
private jets, corporate jet owners.
Well here is Senator Barack Obama from his audio book
Audacity of Hope. And his view on private jets, which
apparently are awesome.
Chapter Five. Opportunity. One thing about being a US senator,
you fly a lot. There the flights back and forth from Washington
at least once a week. They're the trips to other states to
deliver a speech, raise money or campaign for your colleagues. If
you represent a big state like Illinois, there are flights
upstate or downstate to attend town meetings or ribbon cuttings
and to make sure that the folks don't think you forgotten them.
Folks, most of the time, I fly commercial and sit in coach
hoping for an aisle or window seat and crossing my fingers
that the guy in front of me doesn't want to recline.
Hey, have you ever sat in coach with Obama send me an email,
okay. I'd love to hear about
but there are times when because I'm making multiple stops on a
west coast swing Say or need to get to another city after the
last commercial flight his left eye fly on a private jet. I
hadn't been aware of this Option of First assuming the cost would
be prohibitive. But during the campaign, my staff explained
that under Senate rules, a senator or candidate could
travel on someone else's jet and just pay the equivalent of a
first class airfare.
Were you aware of this, John? That's the rule. I
did. I did know this. Yeah, that's pretty
awesome. So you can just get a
pencil because what do I know how much of that what kind of
first class airfare Do you think they paid by the first class
from Washington to New York? The first class were Yeah, exactly
it with miles. Do you take air miles? Because because I want to
like reduce my cost here.
After looking at my campaign schedule, and thinking about all
the time I would save, I decided to give private jets a try.
Give it a try. Give it a try. Because it's really it's so
horrible, these corporate jet owners, but I'll give it a try.
It turns out that the flying experience is a good deal
different. private jet. private jets depart from privately owned
and managed terminals,
by the way, and most airports are privately owned. I don't
think they're all like government airports are they
don't be called
operational by the municipality. sneer right
and just that feature big soft couches, and big screen TVs, and
old aviation photographs on the walls. Yeah, the restrooms are
generally empty and spotless. And have those mechanical
shoeshine machines and mouthwash and mince in a bowl. Hey,
can you believe I'm so sad I did. I gotta read this book.
Is this got to be loaded with gold, gold?
Gold, this is pure. This is 18 karat Johnny Boy.
There's no sense of hurriedness of these terminals. The plane is
waiting for you if you're late, ready for you. If you're early.
A lot of times you can bypass the lounge altogether and drive
your car straight onto the tarmac. Yay. Otherwise the
pilots will greet you in the terminal. Take your bags and
walk you out to the plane. And the planes well, they're nice.
Nice the first time I took such a flight. I was on a citation 10
A sleek, compact, shiny machine with wood paneling and leather
seats that you could pull together to make a bed anytime
you decided you wanted to nap who writes this crap? A shrimp
salad and cheese plate occupied the seat behind me. Upfront the
minibar was fully stocked, stocked the pilots hung up my
coat offered me my choice of newspapers and asked me if I was
comfortable. I was then the plane took off. Its Rolls Royce
engines gripping the air the way a well made sports car grips the
road. Shooting through the clouds, I turned on the small TV
monitor in front of my seat. A map of the United States
appeared with the image of our plane tracking west along with
our speed or altitude, our time to destination and the
temperature outside. at 40,000 feet, the plane leveled off and
I looked down at the curving horizon in the scattered clouds.
The geography of the earth laid out before me. First the flat
checkerboard fields of Western Illinois
base pretty good seen all that from 40,000 feet by the way
awesome
than the Python curves almost down to the Mississippi. Then
more farmland and ranch land, and eventually the jagged
Rockies. Still snow peaked until the sun went down. And the
orange sky narrowed to a thin red line
second Stopstopstop
where's he going to the West Coast?
What's he going across the Rockies voice from the Illinois
taking puddle jumpers from town.
Man he's awesome. Now here's the last 878 seconds the best
was finally consumed by knight and stars and moon. I could see
how people might get used to this. Yeah,
exactly. Now, in art imitates life or life imitates art. I
take you back to a little television show called The West
Wing. And at the time the was it what was Rob Lowe's role was he
liked the press secretary. He was like he was corny. He was
corny. Right same height by the way. Listen to this little
episode I found
what I wanted to mention was Jim gentry and Richard wills. So you
guys want to live in Chicago draft plans in swimming pools?
Yeah, that our opponents went out the rich pay for bigger
swimming pools and faster private jets, you know, hit them
hard, where we are hitting them hard, but I'm not gonna use the
line. First of all, it's bad writing. What's wrong with it?
Sounds like it was written by a high school girl.
Sounds like it was written by a high school girl. Indeed. That's
exactly what this whole corporate Jetline is. It sounds
like it was written by a 12 year old girl.
Is there something wrong with the way women learn? So let's go
over a couple. factoids. Yeah. First of all, the idea that you
can hitch a ride is yes, because let's face it, you get in
goodwill. Monsanto folks or General Electric, in the case of
Obama, they're just going to send a jet for you. Exactly. And
you're going to pay essentially have discounted first class fare
you would you will pay the fare, but instead of paying the normal
3500 to $7,000, you would pay to fly on a private jet with a
bunch of people. You're paying like six 700 bucks maybe to fly
in a corporate jet by yourself or you and a couple of staffers,
and, and their
citation 10. I'm going to estimate about two and a half
$1,000 an hour if you had to rent it.
Sounds about right.
So this is a scam. This is the bed out in out. cozying up
corporatism scam bull crap, because the President doesn't
care anymore. And he slammed the private jets because now he's
got a 747 matching the 747 his wife flies around in one free
for one for each foot. Then he can fly all over the place. And
what is it? What is it 747 cost an hour to fly?
I'm going to wager about $12,000 Yeah, $12,000
an hour plus the crew the cost of the crew and the overhead and
all the security bullcrap and all the rest of it in fact we
have a story well I you know I could mentioned a little town
I'm have a place but there's a little towns all over the
country are complaining about this when Obama comes into town
they before they do they send in a front and forward team. And
they go to the police department and the mayor and they say
here's what we have to do. Here's where we have to have for
security, even though he's only going to be visited visiting to
to look at a damn let's say or he's over here to cut a ribbon
or something like that. And these little towns are getting
stuck with these huge bills for overtime police this and that
and the other thing that they can't afford and the President
doesn't seem to give a crap about that.
No no, I'm just
mentioning some of these things.
I just thought it was interesting that Rob Lowe and we
all love that show was number one that he says right there and
that's that's what a 12 year old girl writing
nothing against girls. Yeah, nothing. Yeah,
totally guys. Well, we
got exactly that okay. That was a good one. Thank you.
Also buddy enjoyed listening to Obama. Right. So well, what an
egomaniac nobody reads their own book.
You know what's great is now that Obama of course is going to
be candidate again for President. You know,
essentially, everything's fair game. Everything's on the table
so you can go back in history. We can't find any girlfriends or
any lovers or anyone that hung out with him at school. Anyone
who did study hall, but we do have old clips now first of all,
we have the controversy over Obama's father coming back from
World War Two. This over and over. Yeah, here's a new one
which cropped up.
No, I had a uncle who was one of the who was part of the first
American troops to go into Auschwitz and liberated
deliberate concentration camps.
Now I'm sorry, but it was the Soviets who liberated Auschwitz
it was not the American troops so either he misspoke on
liberated and one of the first to go in or it's just another
religion he
I'm beginning to think he's a pathological liar. This is I
mean, this is what a pathological liar does they just
kind of make stuff up for you that are is very immature like a
little kid. But you know, little kids make stuff up too. But this
louche was thing came up before. Oh,
I didn't know about it. This is no this is 2008. Okay, yeah, no,
I hadn't heard about this.
Yeah, I think it was one of the issues that we didn't ever
discuss. But I think it floated by us
as so much does.
Well, I mean, there's too much going on, especially when you
got to you know, somebody who's gonna take days not weeks.
Right, and you can take that to the bank.
Yeah, I know. I didn't even know where that clip is anymore. But
take your
bank. Yeah, I got. I'll send you another copy.
We got copies somewhere. So what else? Here we go. There he is.
Well, then, there's a lot
more there's just so much happening. I love
that. I got some lightweight stuff if you want to drift over
a little bit.
Yeah, I was just gonna say just briefly in the
Go ahead. Some real news. Oh, no,
I think we should definitely hit that. And now back to real.
So apparently in Great Britain is ill illegal to use
airbrushing anymore they banned a play that Britain outlaws
airbrush piece Okay.
and British authorities have banned Lancome ad featuring
Julia Roberts for being overly airbrush there you see the
airbrush Julia and there you see the more natural looking Julia
that haven't been posed says a female member of British
Parliament first raised concerns about the ad and how airbrushing
is contributing to young women's problems with body image and
confidence that my people so they outlawed the ad for
airbrushing my people, what can I say?
My people what can I say?
What can I say? Now the funny thing is is that the picture of
Julia Roberts in his ad which they showed she actually looks
like have you ever watched one of the Star Trek she looks like
odo character in a Star Trek Yeah, it was it was a changeling
with a with kind of a face of plastic and she looks terrible
on the airbrush version. But this isn't airbrushing anymore.
I mean for one thing I hope they get rid of that phrase. I don't
think anyone's using an airbrush.
Well, you know you can apply airbrush is because we use
Photoshop. That's fine. It's outlaw airbrushing we use the
shop.
But this is ludicrous.
And the great in the air. And the crazy thing about that clip
is then they say Well, here's Julia airbrushed and here she is
not airbrushed. It's not like the advertising agency said, Oh,
here's the original photo. Here you go make fun of Julia Roberts
note. They then photoshopped her to look old. They're doing the
exact same thing. Yeah, yeah.
Was a lot of free publicity. So I have to wonder if the whole
thing is not a big
scam are probably sounds about right.
So on our last show, we talked about I have two clips. We
talked to him or he mentioned and I am telling you I don't
remember us ever mentioning this for the I think I may have said
this already. For the four years we've been doing the show I've
never mentioned and I don't think we've ever discussed al
Shabaab
yet. We have once once really Yeah.
It sounds like a chain of chicken places. It's the San
Fernando Valley.
I'll have an Al Shabaab special so now we're
getting very very afraid of Al Shabaab. Because I guess
somebody must have done analysis in one of the intelligence
agencies are determined that al Qaeda is actually dead. Oh,
well, you know it
is. This is I have the headline wait before you get to your
clip. This is very apropos. I have the headline that proves
it. And here we go.
US officials say Osama bin Laden's death could mean the end
of alkaitis Global Terrorism network. In addition to bin
Laden staff, the New America Foundation says CIA drone
strikes are responsible for taking out at least 1200
militants since 2004. Officials still caution the end of al
Qaeda would not mean the end of terrorists targeting the US.
That's
right, because we've got Al Shabaab
so al Shabaab are a bunch of like, Somali, you know,
borderline pirates, just the you know, they're some I don't see
the canal. I mean, I don't see how they can pose any threat
whatsoever. But yet, our Congress seems to think so. So
they've been having hearings about, you know, terrorism and
the rest of it, emphasizing al Shabaab. And so now that I got
two clips, I got the Al Shabaab you can play either of the two
and a bowl crap that we've been hearing forever,
and it's al Shabaab 's ability to carry out the terrorists or
operations. You've also referred to individuals in the United
States that have ha wha la high Walla Walla Walla, money
transfer system to fund to Al Shabaab.
The Hawala money system is basically like the like the
Knights Templar, isn't it? Where you you go in?
I don't know. I think they're talking about a money trap. I
think that's what it's called. But I think what is it? Same
thing is these money transfer operations that are all over
California where Mexican workers illegal aliens go down to this
place in Oakland, and they transfer their money back to
Mexico,
right, but it's not actual it's not actually a wire transfer
this write it down on a book and then somewhere else? The
guy isn't wire transfer?
I don't think so. I think it's they send doves with
little mess, whatever the case is. We do know money's leaving
the country, but he's
Can you talk a little bit more about about this and the
specific focus on Minnesota based funding for Al Shabaab?
Thank you, Congressman. I can the I think the clearest example
of Minnesota based funding for Al Shabaab comes in the
indictment that was returned within the last year in right
out of Minneapolis, regarding two women from Rochester,
Minnesota who were charged with providing material support to Al
Shabaab. And as the indictment sets forth the method by which
they provided that material support was through money
transfers, ultimately, through the walls to Somalia,
Al Shabaab. Have
they said money transfers? Yeah. But anyway yeah. So you got a
couple of boneheads, you know, send money back home probably to
their husbands or god knows what. But according to the
indictment, so there's like 86,000 Hold. Actually, no one's
take it back. According to this one. This one was accused of
sending an almighty $8,600. I mean, this is gonna be a huge
threat the United States by the way, right. $600 going to Al
Shabaab. So I play the other al Shabaab crap.
And I guess the question is, what kind of a threat does that
pose to us here in the United States? I want to read to you
what was just recently said by Mr. Olson, who's the nominee to
lead the National Counterterrorism Center. In his
confirmation hearing just on Tuesday, he said, Al Shabaab
bombing last year targeting Westerners shows the group is
willing and capable of striking outside Somalia, and therefore
poses a significant threat. So my question to I think, Mr.
Falk, and Mr. Joslin is, how big of a threat is this to the
United States? I mean, there are those who will say that these
individuals are leaving the United States to join these
national forces in a civil war. And that that is their main
focus, their threat, or their focus is not on posing a threat
to the United States. How would you respond to that?
Thank you, Congressman, as I set forth in my written remarks, I
believe that the threat that we need to be aware of is the fact
that the terrorist training camps run by Al Shabaab teach
their participants how to kill people how to utilize weapons,
how to build bombs, and in addition to the military
training, providing ideological indoctrination, that teaches
that it's okay to do that.
I believe these these camps, they all really think this is
true. They're really buying into this. They're all just one big
circle jerk. And everybody else knows that it's bullcrap. Yet,
we're just
He also described the US Marine Corps, teaching people how to
shoot guns and how to do this. And it's okay to do it under
these circumstances. I mean, I don't, you know, this whole
thing and to do this al Shabaab thing. And if you read anything
about these two women that were indicted, who obviously just
sending money to somebody in Somalia did, not much of it. And
there's also they also were looking into let me just read
from this AP article. In recent years, Minneapolis has been the
seventh senator who have federal investigation that travels of
more than 20 Somali men who left Minnesota and then it says to
possibly fight with Al Shabaab, they were Somalis, Mali are from
Somalia. And they were going back it's like they were just
maybe going back to visit their relatives. I mean, you know,
just because they left Minnesota that they were now under
investigation because they went back to where there happens to
be some al Shabaab he's going on.
Now Shabaab special on a shish kebab burn.
I mean, it's ridiculous. And the numbers are so low. We've gotten
down to now we can there's not enough al Qaeda to, to deal
with. We got these. The total here are only Somali men maybe.
And a total of 20 people have been charged in Minnesota in
connection with the investigations into travelers
and terrifying dancing. Give me a break. This is bullcrap.
Meanwhile, we have all kinds of crazy stuff going on over at the
State Department, no clips, because they didn't actually
mention the name. But there was a hearing not on C span they
only had and the State Department is really their
website is crap. They'll take like a three second clip from a
five hour conversation. But the title of the of the hearing axis
of abuse us human rights policy towards Iran and Syria, axis of
abuse. Really, you couldn't come up with a new one. You had to
have a new axis. And so now it's Syria and Iran. They're the axis
of abuse of killing people. And then someone sent me this link
from the Washington Post. Did you know that the is you know,
number two Anwar al aulaqi. You see the number two guy and al
Qaeda? Or is he number one?
I think he is number one. Now he's now he's got the foam
finger.
He's got. He's got the big foam finger. He wrote a little op ed
November 19 2001. For the Washington Post still on their
website. Many modern Muslims around the world are celebrating
Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of fasting. For many in the
Middle East and in Afghanistan, the tensions of war and military
action comes at a time when many Muslims seek spiritual purity.
And on and on and
on and on. What Yeah, what yeah, this is
the same guy. That's the guy
we're talking about. With a picture he gets a byline and a
picture
Hey, let me say a minute ago we're talking He's the new head
yet. I'm sending it to you. This is your thinking. This is the
guy who is the this is the Yemen guy.
Anwar Al aulaqi is he's either the number one phone finger or
number
two's not the number one guy said other guy that that crazy
doctor who took over al Qaeda but there's this guy I mean guy
that is American from Arizona.
Yeah, but this is also a big al Qaeda guy.
Yeah, but he's not t and taken Oh, he's not the head guy
but he's on the hit list. He's gonna kill with his drone list
this guy's obviously an agent for someone da and I think the
giveaways in fact that he's still he's still posting they
still posting they still posting is at its
Imam Al aulaqi of Dar Al Hijrah Raj Islamic center in Falls
Church, Virginia, where he's from, is also the Muslim
chaplain at George Washington University. He holds a Bachelor
of Science in Civil Engineering from Colorado State, another
fine CIA state, a Master's in Education Leadership from San
Diego State University as currently working on a doctorate
degree in Human Resource Development. That doesn't get
any better at George Washington University.
Ra zaharie That's the guy who's
the old guy but and while lucky also has a shoot to kill.
Yeah, I know he does the other day. I don't know if you ever
shoot Tiki I would hate it. Which is weird. Since he's an
American. You can't do that. Oh,
yes, we can. unwell Waukee awards? How do you spell it?
Out? zaharie. lol walkie This is ridiculous. It's almost like
just mocking the fact that we can't pronounce these crazy
names.
Just call them Adam Gadon. Waka Yes, his real name. I think I'm
pretty I'm looking at his
what is his real name? Let's just call him that. So we don't
get confused or I don't get Adam.
Good. Dawn.
Adam Gadon.
That's his real name. Pretty awesome. So that,
yeah, I know. The Chinese have come in with a great one, by the
way, which, which really killed me
the ball, trains, planes ban.
We finally know what caused the high speed bullet train to
collide with another one. It was a very simple fix. It was a
lightning strike, which caused the signal not to turn red.
Yeah, I heard this fleas. I heard a dict a bunch of deer and
the I heard it was a software plug problem.
Well, yeah. Because what they saying because of lightning. I
thought these things
do you think with all these little radars, I mean, I can buy
a Ford Focus with five or six radar devices all around so you
can't bump into anything because, you know, heaven
forbid, why don't they have these things on these trains? It
seems to me that a high speed rail train might have a little
radar action going on in the front and see something stopped
on the tracks and it would like slam them on.
Yeah, you think you think? I mean, I didn't know
that. The so the guy is traveling at 400 miles an hour.
And he doesn't see the red light. This doesn't make sense
to me. This is not how you manage these trains. He was
like, Hey, did you see a red light? I didn't see a red light.
Wow, what's that motorcycle coming up?
You know what the next thing is going to be on this? What the
guy was texting?
Yeah, exactly. That's horrible. That is horrible.
So there's a meme going around that has me somewhat interested.
And I want to play this.
Well, I it came up ethical Horowitz and I and we discussed
I think we discussed it underlying a show it to a go
about how Goldman Sachs is going to cut a billion dollars by
firing 1000 people, which means they're making a million dollars
each. Yeah. And Cisco I think is going to save a bit. It's always
a billion. What is the deal with this billion thing? Now here's
what this is what got me when I heard this Credit Suisse guy,
even though it wasn't a billion dollars, it was a billion
francs. But what is the thing with these companies? I mean,
what what there's a there's obviously some memo went out
saying they have to cut so much. But it did do confirm that
they're doing the right thing. It's always rounding off to a
billion
impacted by by global events. Do you want to attempt to make give
us an outlook for the rest of the year? Or is that too
difficult at this point? I think it's tough to know exactly what
will happen. And it's one of the reasons that we've obviously
made adjustments to our business model. We've looked at
increasing our efficiency in order to make sure that even if
these kinds of conditions continue to, you know continue
to prevail for the rest of the year, we'll be able to make very
good returns for our shareholders.
Speaking of the cost cutting program, you announced it's a
lot more detailed than many people had expected. Now 1
billion francs and cost savings So when the timeframe of a year
do you think that'll be enough? Well, what we've said is that we
will actually reduce our run rate going into next year by a
billion Swiss francs from what we actually experienced in the
first half of this year. It's a very specific program, we've
actually already started taking steps on that front.
Yeah, billion is the new million million doesn't sound like much
anymore. And this is all about shareholders and shareholder
value. And it's got to sound like a lot. We're already we
talked about trillions in the government this is I think
that's pretty normal.
Yeah, so but it's always the exact same. It's not No 1.2 It's
not, you know, 1.5 or 3.0. You know, it's always 1 billion. All
right. I just find it peculiar. Sorry. Maybe it's just me. So
John Stewart, and I'm died. We don't have a him talking but
John Stewart had a really funny bunch of clips that he ran
together talking about these idiotic shows new shows on CNN
and elsewhere that are playing Twitter. Feed feedback. Uh huh.
And so he immediately caught
Don Don Lemon,
no, no Don Lemon is good I saw that done and so but no he
immediately caught am show continually quoting from this
Twitter account called Lady Big Mac. Okay, so they would do a
story and then a quote from Lady Big Mac and then they do a story
they quit so he got three of them. And then he says, Well,
you know, even though that you think you'd come up with more
people he then we ran a clip that I guess they put together
of all these different names that these news organizations
are actually quoting from and it's the whole so I just clipped
it up and I chopped him out and put it together. You play this
and you have to say what is wrong with these news
organizations? They sound like idiots quoting from these
Twitter accounts fast food guilty

this brings up your issue is that doe vetting? And this is
exactly what Hillary's up to.
Now, it's not only no
you don't even have to have a serious I mean, dog fart.
Yeah, yeah, hilarious.
Meanwhile, there's actual stuff taking place which is not being
reported like this douche Nicole from
the ATF denying
any knowledge of Fast and Furious Senate hearing on C span
let's not report on that. Before this investigation ends, I've
got to have somebody in your position or a justice admit you
knowingly let guns walk because right now your agents, both the
agents here today from from Mexico. And the agents that were
part of Phoenix and part of this program who became
whistleblowers have told us you were letting guns walks or in
this investigation is my opinion that we did not let guns walk.
You're entitled to your opinion not to your facts. That's gonna
come down. Yeah, that's gonna
have an end of show clip. Yeah. They will Judge Napolitano rant
about this exact topic. Okay. And he has a bunch of
information in there that is actually unknown to me, which
includes the fact that holder had already talked talk to the
Mexico about this in 2009. Two years beforehand. And then he
went before Congress and said he didn't know anything about it.
Right, this this could be Obama's Watergate.
It could be if then if the media would get on it.
Well, we'll just keep hammering on it. Because it's, I mean, the
informations out there. These are all public hearings. Just no
one's doing anything about it. And meanwhile, John, the meme
that we propagated is now thoroughly embedded into the
psyche of the world. I introduce you to the lone wolf.
Police and stood guard have seized rifles and ammunition
from the homes of far right extremists. The raids targeted a
group called standard Rutenberg but it's not thought they had
any connection to Norway's mass killer. However, any activity
involving extreme right wingers is currently causing much
attention across Europe. Interior Minister Hans Peter
Friedrich has warned that Germany's homegrown far right
seen as a dangerous fringe potentially capable of mounting
deadly attacks. His warning came as a police union suggested that
an unknown be set up for the internet. So web users could
report extremist content, such as that propagated by Norway's
terror suspect.
There you go. The lone wolves are out ladies and gentlemen,
the crackdown has begun this is all thanks to the nut job in
Oslo now, of course officially being compared to Timothy
McVeigh.
Another act of homegrown terror homegrown, extremist side and
that's Timothy McVeigh. Can you connect the dots for us? What's
the connection between connect
the dots please connect the dots audience members, you need to
connect the dots in your head when you hear this connect the
dots connect the dots, Timothy McVeigh, lone wolf terror,
Anders Breivik, and a man like Timothy McVeigh, Timothy
McVeigh, lone wolf,
the two situations are eerily similar eerily.
There's nothing, nothing similar about it at all. Mr. McVeigh
was guided by an ideology fueled by the far right here in the
United States. And Mr. Brevik attack, in many respects is kind
of an Islamophobic version of Timothy McVeigh's actions,
trying to inspire a generation to carry out additional acts of
atrocities on the public for a far right political end. The sad
irony of it all is that they share also the commonality, in
that, in both instances, the rush to judgment in the early
stages were particularly from the American media was to blame
Muslims for the attack when the reality tells us quite glaringly
that it was, in both instances, homegrown terrorists carrying
out these horrific atrocities. Let's talk
about that for a moment after 911. You know, people felt like
they had someone else to blame someone from the outside to
blame for the horrific acts that happened in their country. But
in a homegrown terrorism case, right wing extremists side, how
does a nation recover from this knowing that it was one of their
countrymen, who killed almost 100 or allegedly killed almost
100 of their own people?
Well, it's essential, as the Prime Minister of Norway said
today to meet this horrific act with more democracy to use the
ends which they were trying to snuff out to embrace diversity
in the community to become a more welcoming and open society
rather than allowing Mr. Brevik to win that have society become
more closed, to become more isolated, and become more
exclusionary. That's the way that the terrorists lose is by
people of goodwill standing up and saying that this kind of
racism and bigotry will not be tolerated. In everyday
conversations, let alone when it reaches its conclusion like we
saw last Friday,
right? So you can't talk about it. You can't talk about anyone
being bad you have to let democracy take over more memes
more meme alert.
More details are emerging of Anders baring brave X deadly
attack in Norway. The right wing fanatic has admitted taking
steroids and the stimulant ephedrine bombing in Oslo and
the deadly rampage on the island of utopia and the Legion
newspaper has released this picture detailing brave its
journey around the island where the young people were for their
summer camp.
How do they know this? They have an infographic and animation of
of his entire track around the island. How do they know this
90 minutes he spoke to victims in bushes and even shorter those
trying to swim away. There may be some credence to by Vic's
claims that he wasn't working alone. This man ferried him to
the island for sure somebody dropped him off by car because
he had a big suitcase with him that was very heavy.
For Tom Todd and what was in the suitcase he had one gun and he
had a handgun a rifle and he had a very heavy suitcase that's on
the
recall people thought the suitcase contained a bomb
disarmament equipment brave accuse the computer game Call of
Duty Modern Warfare two as part of his training.
Listen to this. Oh, yeah. So graphics for by the way, this
guy has not been shut up. He's not allowed to talk about
anything.
By the way. Yeah. Who do we I guess I shouldn't start taking
notes. But I see that we have. We have we've already had
marijuana. We've had steroids Call of Duty to what was the
last one
that he got his training from Call of Duty to from that video?
Yeah. Games Yeah, video games. He's home grown. The guy you
know the picture they keep using his him, you know, dressed in
like some high tech Navy SEAL outfit
was bullcrap that was at photoshopped picture that was
everywhere. Yeah, it's become the real picture. And this one,
this was great.
Well, judging from the mainstream media counts for the
horrific massacre in Norway, you might think that we're on the
cusp of a wave of Christian terrorism that could rival any
threat from Muslim terrorism.
Is that true?
Let's ask our own terrorism expert and Fox News strategic
analyst, Lieutenant Colonel
I love the sound effects by the way, that was a good seat
Colonel
Ralph Peters, so colonel, first of all this guy who was
responsible who we think is responsible, he's claimed
responsibility said or Anders Breivik, I guess is his name. Do
you think that he is? Would you define him as a Christian
terrorist as all the headlines are?
Well, he defines himself as a Christian. You know, anybody can
claim anything. And I have to tell you, it doesn't have
anything to do with any church I've ever intended. But David,
what troubles me most is hypocrisy. I mean, this is such
a God reading
it to why he's not a very good actor. He's like reading his
line. Yeah. And
they keep hitting the the sound effects on the queue, and he's
messing to cover
up the fact that he's not delivering his lines, very
liberal media. One guy Timothy McVeigh type in Norway this
time. Does something really monster There you go. Timothy
McVeigh types. And suddenly, Oh, it's okay. It's not about you.
You know, just like Islam. Well, you know, it's not there have
been 10s of 1000s of Islamist terrorist attacks. And the media
have rushed to say, it's nothing to do with Islam. Now, one crazy
claims he's a Christian, and commits a fact of terror. And oh
my god, we expect more Christian terrorists. While I'm waiting
for the Baptist suicide bombers.
That will be catchy. That would be funny, the Baptist suicide
bomber.
So let's go over a couple things real quick one is the thing that
the meme that that I still see when every time I see these
articles is the use of the word terror or terrorist at all. This
guy is a mass murderer. He's not what is he terrorizing me? He's
not I mean, he definition in Webster's of terrorism is the
systematic which means you do it over and over again to scare
people like like the people that do suicide bombs in the buses, a
specific use of terror as a means of coercion to corrode to
get people to change their political situation or to vote
somebody in office like they did in Spain. You remember that when
they blew up the trains to get them to vote a certain way and
they did? Where's the terrorist angle and this this is just nuts
Well,
regardless of the reason why it happened or how it happened, and
you know, I have a ton of links in the show notes at three to
five got any show notes.com There's a actually a carbon tax
angle to this interestingly enough, there is I swear to God
you I mean, it's there's so many different there's a lot of
people who have to
explain that one.
Okay, hold on.
Who are the bankers that benefit from the Norway terror attacks?
Written by that word again? Yeah, Tara tax him. Overall, the
carbon tax pilot program was a failure. And this was I'd have
to open up the page Hold on a second. So apparently, Norway
was supposed to be the pilot project for European Carbon Tax
even though Norway not officially in the EU. I'll read
it to you last week's terror attacks, Norway shattered the
heart of a peace loving society that are not one of the terror
suspects crazed man by the name of Anders Breivik. But yesterday
the alleged terrorist Brevik had his day in court just the start
dimension he had accomplices of the attacks. The judge silenced
him and ordered him to four weeks in isolation before his
trial. Why, when the people of Norway have a right to know who
helped that crazed man carry out the terror attacks answer yes,
it is obvious that he had assistance the attacks had to
require some level of sophistication and professional
planning. But rather than focus on graphics background, because
we may never know the whole truth about him, let's examine
who benefits from these horrendous attacks. Last year
during the Cancun global climate change summit, the Norway
government, headed by Prime Minister Jen Stoltenberg, leader
of the Labour Party agreed to participate in a carbon tax
pilot program, endorsed by the UN and George Soros. The program
is called red which is an acronym for reduced emissions
and deforestation and forest degradation. In this carbon tax
program, Norway would spend anywhere from 250 million to
$500 million from Norwegian taxpayers, to the Government of
Ghana in South America. Now I'm not gonna read all this
verbatim, but essentially what happened is that money got sent
and then a whole bunch of buddies on the inside So we
stole the money. And the guy who stole the money they tried to
kill him. This gig eon and government shill. Yeah, actually
he, his name is Philip Mati owl. He attempted to commit suicide
in quotes in Palm Beach, Florida, July 2010, taken to a
mental health clinic for psychological treatment. And
then his vehicle flipped over he went over a 40 foot cliff but
still survived. Overall, the carbon tax program is a failure,
and a major embarrassment for the Norwegian government, the
international banks and the government contractors involved
in that scam. Forget the money, they have all the money in the
world. This was supposed to be their pilot program and it
failed. As a result, the People's Progress Party became
the number one obstacle for the carbon tax promoters. So what
this article surmises is that this was a hit against and it
was of course, against the PPP, because they screwed up the
carbon tax scam.
Interesting angle,
I like it.
I like it, too. That's why I tagged it.
Leaving the show notes. You got to talk about this stuff. Yeah,
well, that's what I did. Yeah, well, after I drag it out, uh,
yeah. Oh,
sorry. It's hard. You're there's so much stuff to talk about.
Well, that's it. That's a gem. Yeah. It's typically the
Global Warming scam. And it's unbelievable. People that can't
see it.
Yeah. That's true. Death and Destruction brought to you by
the Global Warming people. And General Electric. Well,
anyway, here's another thing. Here's what's really bugging me.
You know, you're talking about all these different things going
on here with what is being covered up and not being
discussed. Play the keeping Muller Muller, whatever his name
is, clip.
Hold on. Sorry. Slip of the hand, who was Muller again,
isn't yet like
the head of the FBI. Why are we keeping him in addition to
ensuring that terrorists are denied victory, some of our
public servants also protect us from crime and ensure that
justice is served. The agency that is charged with this unique
duty is the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The FBI director
is limited to a 10 year non renewable term. Congress impose
this restriction to ensure political independence and to
act as a restraint on unbridled power and the potential for
misuse of that power. In just a few weeks, the current FBI
Director Robert S. Mueller, the third will conclude his 10 year
term. The President has asked for a one time two year
extension for Mr. Muller to ensure continuity in America's
national security team. Cover up the killing of Osama bin Laden
in personnel changes in key national security post make
these unusual times that justify a short term extension. Director
Muller has shown himself a dedicated public servant who has
kept terrorist at bay and reduced crime. Mr. Miller
assumed leadership of the FBI on September 4 2001, just one week
prior to the attacks of September 11 2001. During his
tenure, he has reformed the FBI to ensure that it is able to
address not only terrorist threats, but also threats posed
by traditional criminals. This request for an extension was not
made by Mr. Muller, but by the President of the United States.
Yeah, because the guy knows something, I guess. Well, here's
the deal.
And then Sheila Jackson, this guy's from Texas, and then
Sheila Jackson shows up within it's very similar suite, a bunch
of
other people with a great scarf, no doubt, she's always got
great.
Woman is the most annoying person ever. But anyway, they
all come out and support it as a guy. Congress specifically
passed a law, the limited the term of office for the FBI
director to 10 years period, the law was passed for a reason. And
now they're going to overturn the law, we're not really going
to just give him a two year extension, which is in direct
violation of what the idea was to begin with, and then what to
do, who's to say we're not gonna have another two year extension
in another one and the guys J. Edgar Hoover. I mean, give me a
break. What are these guys kidding? I didn't know why they
passed this law in the first place. Not that Moeller is not a
great guy is the fact is you're not supposed to keep the guy in
there for a reason.
So is, is anyone contesting this or people? Oh, they're just
like, okay, the guy is great. They're all talking about how
crazy stamp. Let's go to work. Where's the auto pen? Really? So
no one is standing up and saying Hold on a second. You know,
there's a reason for this.
Maybe Ron Paul is I had Devin found anyone. And this has been
totally not covered by anyone.
There was something else that cropped up, which I'm having a
hard time. It's it's almost second half of the show stuff.
Um, you want to do we want to thank some producers No. And
I'll bring up this this little gem that I found, which I think
is second half type stuff because it involves some. Some
rocketry. Ooh, rocketry. I'll tell you why that's probably a
good idea.
I'm gonna show my son moved by Jonah did no agenda Imagine all
the people who could do that? Oh yeah, that'd be fun
Okay, so we've got a guy again, we don't have a lot of it's not
all the city's came through. So we only have a couple of we do

My fiance
Oh, hold on a second. So Melissa, but we don't have
Melissa's last name.
No. Well, just Melissa for now. If she Jenna Mary, I'm just
gonna be Melissa Simmons Simon's Simmons.
Okay, we'll just call her dame de Mullis. And Alyssa,
that's fine. He's in desperate need of karma. Please give me a

Philip Murcott Murcott $50 and want to thank them and all the
rest of the donors who contributed for this. Thursday's
a no agenda show. We appreciate it.
Yeah, we've got a couple of Hot Pockets tour producers who have
also supported to go back to Tampa, as after the show, I
received a couple of donations. Josh araya $60. For gas. Thank
you so much. Aaron Patterson gave two $50 gas cards and a $1
bill and he had a he had a really cute card. So it's an
envelope it says from a former distracted slave to no agenda.
And on the back it says don't worry, I can't make anthrax at
my facility. And in the car to Adam and Mickey don't you to get
cabin fever in the Four Winds 5000 Or will 5150 you XuChang
Wow. Which I think is chairs on Whoo. Adam and JCD in spirit
hope you find the enclosed useful for your five week oil
cabal support tour around Gitmo nation thanks for all your hard
work on the show keep hitting them in the mouth your loyal
human resource and Aaron Patterson get more nation
oranges and then he has a little drawings and stuff on it so very
very cute. Thank you so much for that these gas cards by the way
are a big pain in the ass. I mean first of all, they're
highly appreciated. But I think that the the and by the way,
it's funny that a lot of people in the Gulf Coast states went
out of their way to give us BP gas cards just as like a little
extra joke that I had so we got them from Shell we got it from
BP these like they don't immediately work in the gas
stations you gotta go inside and it's like you know you gotta go
through a rigmarole is interesting. I think that whole
idea is for you to divide them and forget them. Which is way
most gift cards,
gift cards in general are you or money maker because people need
to know are they hard to use?
In Pensacola, Pensacola or actually Lilianne in Alabama,
Brian in Kansas, thank you so much for picking us up and for
the $50 gas donation highly appreciated yesterday, here in
New Orleans, David Ragosa and his lovely daughters. You can
see all of that on the Hot Pockets Facebook page, which
Mickey is made Maintaining which has tons of great pictures.
John, thank you for sending out the email. She really
appreciated all the extra work of people now trying to get to
meet us. Now that we've emailed that, and so that was $200. And
they also picked up lunch for us highly appreciated Andy Kirby.
This is a very interesting guy. You look at his pictures on he
saw he gave $100 gas card. I highly appreciate it. Andy,
thank you so much. If you look on, on the Facebook page, you'll
see that he looks like Brad Pitt. In fact, he walked in, I'm
like, Oh, my God is Brad Pitt. He's coming to the meetup.
Seriously, yeah. The guy's he's a good looking guy. And
she gives you we get him out to LA and we can get reservations
with Brad Pitt. And we just go Oh, yeah, we'll just we'll just
go
around and say, Hey, we got Brad Pitt here we need. So he also
gave at the end of the, of the meetup, a customized leather
bound Bible. I have one with my name on it. Mickey has one with
her name on it. Mine is black and gray. And she has one that
is hot pink. And he has nice little note that he put in here.
He's very sweet. And he says any and he says start on page 965.
So I go to and it's a code, John, it's a code. Let me
explain this code page. 965 is the beginning of the book of
John. There was a man sent from God whose name was John. He came
as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that
through him all might believe he himself was not the light. He
came only as a witness to the light. I think this is code and
that he's telling me that you John are John and that you bring
the light
Yeah, no, I got into reading the Bible on the show. Well, it's
you shouldn't say that for Sunday.
I like it. Let it's nice. It's a beautiful Bible.
It works for me it's the
most read book in history as far as I can
read Yeah, and by the way, I think they did listeners a
producer who said that you're on a five week Oil Company support
tour is absolutely on the money spot on.
That's right oil cabal oil cabal tour.
It is we're burning it up baby. So we really appreciate
everyone's support for the show. It really does help because
we're just pouring the money in and now of course we're
desperately looking for BP and Shell stations to fill it all up
our next stop But tonight we're gonna stop somewhere we hope to
make it to Houston but we might not make it because we're gonna
start rolling right after the show of course we picked up an
hour so it's a we got a little extra time. But our next show
will be from Austin Texas. And this is going to be a huge
meetup Nikki's got a lot of people coordinating ITM dot i m
slash tour oh eight that is it'll take you to the Facebook
page. Of course updates is still on my blog and on the Hot
Pockets 2000 eight.com website and
tell Kelly Lewis to go visit Yeah,
yeah, why don't you not all right, thank you. That's just
fine there's no no reason to do that.
So it but it has been absolutely beautiful John you are really
missed it feels wrong in so many ways to be taking so much praise
for the show without you there. I am very cognizant of the fact
that a lot of people never would have found the show without you
Shilling and other programs so that's great and and it's it's
also very apparent if either one of us drops dead the show is
over it says no good.
I think you gotta get good one week
good enough for for burial services we can get a good coach
for one who shows Coast nice.
Got a one hour of sound effects so far and I'm going to have a
two hour nuts on Facebook clip our clips show available for
emergency use probably within the next two or three months
it's it's painful to put together a bunch it's 30/42
clips Yeah,
it's the dead man's button. If one of us dies and we got some
clips we got a clip show leftover just about to get by
beautiful by perfect. Some extra karma going out to Jeanne one of
our human resources in the chat. She's having some health
problems. So let me hit her with little bursts there.
You've got karma.
And Dave Bryan from the guy who maintains no agenda
entertainment.com Hey Adam, things aren't going so great
here no agenda entertainment land, I desperately need full
time employment to pay my bills and to get by. And now of course
losing my affiliate money from Amazon thanks to the great state
of California a means no beer money from running my little
site. I would be super happy if you could send a little good
karma this way so I can become gainfully employed once again in
turn, help support the show. So yeah, we do appreciate it. thing
you've done there, Dave.
You've got karma. Absolutely.
And then we got a couple of birthdays to celebrate.
Susan l Brigham says Happy Birthday. Congratulations to her
son Tyler Brigham turning 24. Today Patrick Sutton. He's
celebrating his own birthday turning 20 I don't know his
birthday is on the 28th No idea how old he is. Shawn Pendergast.
His 29th birthday is on today the 28th and Wayne ame says
Happy Birthday to his wife Catherine a belated Happy
birthday, but he really appreciates her letting him
attend the meet up in Tampa last Sunday, which was actually her
birthday. I can't believe you did that Wayne, but that's very
nice of her. So happy birthday from your buddies here at the no
agenda show. And then we have got some knighthoods. John, if
you could draw out the blade please. That would be helpful.
Yeah, very good. Paul Schneider and Melissa Simmons are the
future Melissa Simmons please step forward extend your ring
fingers or anything are you wish to point in my direction? Thanks
to your donations in support of the no agenda podcast program
the best show in the world in excess of $1,000 We hear by
night the Sir Paul Schneider night of the no agenda
roundtable. And Dame Melissa Simmons dame of the no agenda
roundtable. Please enjoy your hookers and blow your rent boys
and Chardonnay. I wonder if kids will be asking their parents
what that's all about.
Not one of these days. Oh, by the way, while you were doing
that I was looking up the sun. Wait a minute. You
weren't you weren't attending the ceremony?
No, no, I mean, before that. Okay. I was looking up the
Senate vote on Muller. Yeah, he was reconfirmed for the two more
years by guess what the vote was?
How many votes are there? Hundreds. I
didn't hear you broke up. How
many? How many votes are there in total?
The total of his 50. Senator if I'm sorry, 50 states. 100 votes,
100
votes 99 to 200 did
nothing. No, you're
kidding me. Every single douchebag voted. You know,
they're all afraid this guy has the goods on everybody. That's
why.
Yeah, this is the this is the reason that law was passed. Now
the guy is never gonna get out of office. This is the this is
our Congress. No, no, that's the Senate. Well, I mean, it's the
Senate. I mean, this they're the ones I guess who had to confirm
the guy. Whatever the case is. Forget it. It's just the way it
is. That's outrageous. 100 to nothing. That includes Rand
Paul,
and Oh, really? Yes. Right. He's a senator. Did he vote? He must
have
done nothing is the vote he had to have voted. Everyone voted.
They all voted to nobody abstain. Nobody didn't show up.
And
yeah, they've got that Buddha thing on Rand Paul. That's why
he voted.
So here's the deal. So here's so this is not covered by any
mainstream media. It's just well, you know, the guy's great
he's great. Let us put
him he's doing a good job like the you know, the president
that's why
they passed this thing that they should have made it a four a
four year thing and they maybe wouldn't you know, the guy's 10
years is too long. The guy gets his gets the goods on every one
he gets right back in. And then they made a point these guys by
I'm sorry, we gotta get back to the donation thing as I want to
mention that we were How did people can help us? But that's
what I'm just on a rant here. Yeah, but they mentioned they
gave him a question. By the way. It wasn't molars idea. It was
Obama's idea. Yeah, right. Okay, fine. Anyway, I want to thank
people that did donate and remind them to go to
divide.org/and a
whole Let me try it this way.
Hey, hey, man, what's happening? Oh, no. That we break. Maybe no
agenda nation.com
And no agenda show.com are good alternatives. Also channeled to
vorak.com/in A was also a third way to get in on a
second something broke here. I want to know why that
happened.org/and A leaves that part still works. Yeah. Yes. And
it's very important that you support this program because of
course, we don't take any commercial funds. We are a
public servants. And here's the alternative. I don't know if you
saw the NASCAR prayer, John, this this blew me away. We
always have a prayer before NASCAR and before the for the
start of the race. So if you don't support our show, are you
okay?
I just got got tangled over the mic. Sorry.
I could just see you falling on the floor.
A falling me my mic hit me in the nose. I've
fallen and I can't get up helped me so much. Please help me help
me. Somebody helped me.

Thank you for GM performance technology in our oh seven

bars we like to call off the landlines Lord I pray a blessing
drivers in usual tonight by they put on a performance worthy of
this great tribe in Jesus name bugging in Burgundy, burgundy,
burgundy,
is this guy ordained or is this just entertaining preacher?
That's for sure.
I love it. I don't want to thank you, Lord for my smokin hot
wife.
Awesome. Right on. That's how it should be done, man.
Yeah. Did we blog that too? If you want us to actually see the
visual? Or you did? Cool. Well, yeah.
So somehow I lost the connection here. This is not good. Let me
see. I think I'm back home. I just want to make sure I get the
Wow. Things crashing
it's difficult life on the road is not easy, my friend. Let me
tell you that. Now. The cold is a you're
playing crazy. Crazy, because I got one. All right. So I'm
watching. So You Think You Can Dance, which is a pretty good
show. That's entertaining because these guys are pretty
good. I mean, there's a lot of really good dancers you know,
there's this this show because it's up against Americans got a
talent. And you know, these shows which are all stemmed
from, you know, Ted Max amateur hour from yours and the gong
show the Gong Gong Show due to a lesser extent. But these are
actually more like the Ed Sullivan variety show because
there's especially America's Got Talent, because it's a bunch of
variety acts that you would never normally see. And I have
to say this, this is just the biggest scam i Who ever dreamed
it up, essentially, is the Ed Sullivan Show where you don't
pay anybody. Yeah, that's what's so cool about it. Yes, what's so
cool about so you get to watch a variety show that's under the
guise that it's some sort of a competition when we all know
that's bull crap. And you get these three douche bags or four
depending, you know, you get to judge the various acts but in
the meantime, you get to see a lot of really cool variety x
what are these people getting even if they're getting paid
anything they're getting paid, scaled and getting paid what
they would have been getting in the olden days. I mean, this
these these poor performers aren't getting anything for
their for their efforts. And they're so happy to be there.
So what's your point?
My pleasure is a complaint I just feel bad about it. That's
old cranky, man. I'm liking it he so here's
American me here's one of the judges in America can dance. Oh,
you think you can dance? Mary Murphy and this is one of the
reasons I disliked these shows because of people like this.
This is Mary Murphy that one of the judges whooping and
hollering over somebody's performance. It just it's just
so ludicrous. That is ridiculous you were sending out give me
your opinion and give it to me
fabulous routine and I can just say
everybody could dance with brooms like that this world
would certainly be a cleaner world. You guys have the vibe in
your chapter? Right? And I loved it
That's right. Open up. Take your medicine.
Alright, well, you were watching important programming like that.
John. I was scouring the the record. I was scouring the
Federal Register. And what do I come across? And it's always so
coincidental that these things get published and get put out.
And I have a couple of questions about this that maybe you can
help me with. Whenever there's some something really big going
on. And we've got like people getting shot up and blown up in
Norway and we've got the dead show American Idol happened and
there's an executive order released on July 25, Executive
Order blocking property of transit transnational criminal
organization
It's interesting.
BARACK OBAMA, PRESIDENT United States find the activities of
significant. transnational criminal organizations, such as
those listed in the annex to this order, have reached such
scope and gravity, that they threaten the stability of
international political and economic systems. Such
organizations organizations are becoming increasingly
sophisticated and dangerous to the United States. They are
increasingly entrenched in the operations of foreign
governments and the international financial system,
thereby weakening democratic institutions, degrading the rule
of law and undermining economic markets. These organizations
facilitate and aggravate violent civil conflicts and increasingly
facilitate the activities of other dangerous persons. I
therefore determine that significant trans net
transnational criminal organizations constitute an
unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security,
foreign policy and economy of the United States. Wow, this is
a big one. This is like could this be al Qaeda? Could it be al
Shabaab? Could it be the Taliban?
No. Let's go to the annex.
It's the brothers circle aka the family of 11, formerly known as
the 20. John, I asked you this incredibly dangerous
organization that threatens the economic stability and security
of the world. Have you ever heard of the brothers circle?
No.
Have you ever heard of the family of 11?
Not really.
Well, then why? What is this? Where's the reporting? Well, why
aren't we all over this?
Well, there's al Shabaab is the real reason but
the this is the brothers circle of brothers. I
got that if I if I wave it, brother, what was it brother of?
It's the circle Wright Brothers circle, formerly known as the
family of 11 formula.
How does this work? I go to Google, and I type in brothers
circle. And the first thing I get his circle of brothers men's
town hall meeting in Harlem, the circle brothers free music tour
days, apparently there's a band, Scala and Kalani brothers circle
dash circle 2010, two CDs, us take down Russian organized,
they're finally there, then he's not even at the top of the list.
Now, you would be hard pressed to find any information about
this horrible threat that apparently is so bad, we have to
have an executive order. And the executive order, by the way, is
is pretty big. It's like, let me see. And by the way, the persons
listed it's not just the persons listed in this annex, it's also
any person determined by the Secretary of the Treasury, in
consultation with the Attorney General and the Secretary of
State, of course, Lucifers in there. To any foreign person
that constitutes a significant transnational criminal
organization, essentially, this is to shut down finance of
anybody the US government wants to they could they could call us
a significant transnational criminal organization, and shut
down our PayPal accounts. But I did the research, I came up with
the brothers circle. It's actually not a term the Russians
recognize in law enforcement. But the family of 11 in the 20
reflect a pop culture representation of Russian
organized crime. So it's not even a defined group. It's just
a general like slang term for the Russian mob. Yeah,
I'm reading this I'm reading a very good breakdown from the
term brightsky Kruger, the brothers circles been used from
time to time with the with a traditional study under arrest
mid reference. It's like It's like the mafia.
So the President basically and by the way,
who runs Russia, the mafia.
We know that that's not that's no secret. Ex KGB guys. It's all
one big mob state. So the President has just basically
come out and said, Hey, you're Russian screw Yeah. Now, if
you're Russia, what would you do to retaliate?
Oh, here we go. This is gonna be good.
We had a we had a launch yesterday, of a minute plans a
launch of a Minuteman three inter ballistic continental
missile, intercontinental ballistic missile, which
apparently malfunction and had to be destroyed. I immediately
receive reports from Russia, that the Russians shot this
missile down as a retaliation. against this exact executive
order, and that there is now an actual Cold War at play between
the US and the and the Russians, ie the brothers circle. The
family of 11
All right.
And no one's reporting on this missile. That had to be I mean,
how stupid is it? Yeah though the missile malfunctions, so we
destroyed it in flight. I actually I think I have
somewhere I
have happens once in a while. I'm not sure that you guys I
think you may have be on a dead end here with this. I don't
know. I don't know why I read about this virus. It's almost
like they don't want to really name names when it comes to the
Russian mob because there's apparently a border also refers
to the Camorra, the Yakuza and Los Zetas
shaman familiar with so apparently,
I guess is a Mexican, big Mexican Gang. Gang. Yeah, why
they just call the one out, though. The Los Zetas ex Special
Forces turn Narcos. Okay, this is like too weird. The whole
thing.
It's strange, right? And it just slips under the radar. And it's
and they can shut everyone at any money that you have. If
you're related to significant transnational criminal
organization, ie the mob. The US can seize it.
But that would they I mean, the ones they just what it says to
me is that the due process seems to be at you know, at risk here.
Yeah, no, that's never been at risk at risk before. John, this
is brand new.
Unbelievable. It's crazy, though, right?
Yeah, well, they can get away with this. And they can just put
anybody's name on a list and say you were just gonna seize the
guy's stuff and throw him in jail. Or shoot him? Yeah, I
think Well, I think that's basically the point that I'm,
I'm trying to make excuses for these mobs. But come on. Yep.
And I was just interested, I know questions in the carny
spokes hold, you know, they he talks for almost an hour, no one
asked any questions about this, to these guys not read the
Federal Register? I mean, it's on the it's on whitehouse.gov.
For Christ's sake, excuse me for taking the Lord's name in vain.
It's on the website. And they know
and you know, and how can we how can we hear about Al Shabaab al
Shabaab? I want to know about the brothers circle. This to me
is this is interesting. I liked a family of 11. A sounds cool.
Hey, with a family of 11. No, no.
Well, that's a good find. I don't know what it means in the
big picture. But obviously something Well, I think we need
to see more. I need grabbing a we got a government that just
loves to grab people's money.
That's right. Take it
now. You know, we get shortage shortfall on taxes. This is one
way attack. No, no, we had
a windfall when you're talking about we had a windfall.
We actually did good. We brought
in more revenue than expected this is all over the the
national treasure which I have happened to listen to while I'm
on the road.
Oh, yeah. Ya know, sometimes it's all you can get. The best
signal?
Yeah. Oh, and then they have three transmitters right next to
each other, you go from 91.1 down to 89. Nine. So when you
start to lose when you pick it up on the other? Oh, that's
great. Now the Ministry of Truth is all over the place. Yeah, I
have a clip here, which is a pedo. Bear clip. This is
actually from our other national treasure PBS. And this is about
the Ireland is, you know, the Prime Minister of Ireland came
out and said, hey, the Vatican, the Catholic Church, systematic
torture and sexual abuse of children. And it's abhorrent.
And you guys have done nothing proper about it. Which is a big
deal because I think in in Ireland, the churchgoers
probably 80% is Catholic. And for the Prime Minister to come
out, and say this is has really rocked the boat. And I have to
give props to PBS for bringing in this guy from Rte. And it's
just it's astounding to me. It's not like we haven't been talking
about this on the show for many, many years. But it seems like
there is a big Irish Catholic priest pedo bear issue
more we're joined by Richard Downes, the Washington
correspondent for RTE, Ireland's national television station and
Richard did the coin report. The examination of this one diocese
in Ireland show that the church there was covering up
accusations of precisely child abuse, in contravention of what
they said they were going to do.
Yes and no. Yes, they were. And no, it was not a surprise to
anybody. We've had the Franz report, we've had reports on the
Christian brothers and we've had reports on the Magdalene sisters
in Ireland, many reports going back 2025 30 years, and each one
has shown that the priests and the bishops have particular
orders of dioceses have covered up and have tried to dissuade
the authorities from getting involved in official legal
authorities from getting involved. But lots of people and
I think the majority of Irish people assume that this was
somehow in the past. This was to do with the legacy of
coin report, a senior cleric notes that he realized what a
problem the church in Ireland had, when he started to read
reports about priestly abuse in Canada, in the United States, in
Australia. And it struck him that these were Irish ordained,
Irish born priests. So there is a connection to the scandal in
the rest of the world.
Absolutely. There's a connection to the scandal here in the
United States. Recently, my own television stations had a long
documentary about priests and alleged abuse in Africa, of
course, many Irish priests went abroad, we produced a massive
surplus of priests of Christian Brothers of brothers of nuns,
who many of Of course, it shouldn't be sad, went and did
great work abroad. But of course, we exported a type of
Catholicism that for whatever reason, and that hasn't been
really clarified yet created this kind of sexual abuse
monster. And it happened in the United States. It happened in
Canada, it happened in Australia, it happened again,
this guy get to the point. It's very familiar. The names are
Irish, the modus operandi of the abusers involved was exactly the
same whether it was colway, Klein, New Zealand, or the
United States or something that we did and something that
happened out of out of Ireland, if you like, that came out of
Ireland, which is undeniable. And and very recognizable.
So when you think is it in the potatoes? Is it in the water?
Irish priests?
Pedobear.
I don't know. But I get to quote you. That's five minutes of my
life. I'll never get back. Well, you know what? Okay.
I mean, you don't care. You don't care. All I
care about because you have like, summarized it. I mean, the
guys is boring.
Sometimes I think it has to be boring.
Well, not if people don't pay attention, and I was zoning out
with that guy. All right.
Well, then, please entertain us, John.
No, I'm done. I don't have any more clips. I was hoping you
were gonna finish strong with some flying saucer materials.
I started I started I started on the Russians blowing out the
Minute Man and you didn't you like you're taking it too far?
There's no good.
Oh, yeah. Well, I thought maybe you're saying there's an alien
shooting it down? I mean, there was nothing good. All right.
Well, then. How come they rush? I don't want to it's because I'm
not buying it. You think that's the direction shot it down? It'd
be some I don't know. I'm just this Sunday. Maybe the right. I
don't know. Maybe the Russians don't? I don't know. I
think we're in a cold war. You
just I think he got to the Russian story wrong. And let me
tell you why. I think I think the Russian mob is a concern.
And this is all window dressing. Because you yourself said if you
read any of this stuff, there is no real brother circle. It's
just kind of a generic term used, you know, just to describe
a nebulous operation doesn't exist. And it's it's soft
pedaling the problem. They're not going to unless you see them
see some Russian assets in this country. I think this is just
window dressing. I think the whole thing is a big bunch of
bullcrap.
I think we're gonna see some actual seizures. I think I think
we're in Cold War with Russia. And we're not talking about it.
I think somewheres it's, it has to do with this axis of abuse
with Syria. And with Russia sponsoring a Syrian whatever.
They've got their naval base there. I think there's a lot
going on. And there's I you know, I continue to believe
there space wars happening what?
Cyprus? Don't forget that Cyprus, of course, got
downgraded.
You caught that.
No, I didn't. I missed that one.
Yes, Cyprus. And this is interesting. Cyprus got a big
downgrade from I think Moody's, however you'd like to know that
the head of the Cypriot Central Bank, is a guy named Anastasios,
or phonies. He was an economist for the Federal Reserve Board, a
senior economist for the Federal Reserve Board and advisor for
the Federal Reserve Board as Senior Advisor for the Federal
Reserve Board. I mean, there is stuff going on John that we
can't even fathom right now. It is so intertwined and there was
a fight and it's all about money, and we're the ones
getting screwed. Just get by Shut up slave.
That's what's happening.
And I I really believe that there is something going on
between the United States and Russia with his executive order.
This is some kind of shot across the bow saying Don't screw with
us or we're going to take your money
and I put it down in the book. Yeah, please do.
also like to note that the US cybersecurity chief Randy
Vickers resigned after the hacks of the CIA website
and the apparently rest is a 19 year old lol second kid.
Yeah, one of our producers at the at the Pensacola meetup, I
think was Pensacola maybe? Well, one of the Florida meetups. He
knew one of these kids that got arrested his crime he downloaded
some program off the internet that would slow down PayPal.
arrested as a member of law sec.
Still in custody. Really? Yeah well, that's really
questionable. It all is
questionable my friend. Let me see if
I can see where anyway the end of this last clip there's also a
note in that Nepal a tunnel makes about a government that
breaks the law is not a government that can be trusted.
I mean that can somebody download something? Yeah, you
download the jail and throw the key away. Yeah.
Now we're under severe attack.
I'm amazed that we're still on the air.
Like if I Who is this kid, do we have any documentation on him?
I'll get some. Yeah, no,
I think it should be publicized in the community. I'll get some
does that mean there's a lot of people download weird crap, you
know, and they saw I don't know they just download some people
just downloads I mean, this is like the complaint about pirates
that take you know movies to download movies all day you know
from net from various bit torrents. So what they just
downloading I mean, we just didn't have a huge collection of
nothing that they don't count look at in their lifetime. What
difference does it make
and the head of EMI I think just said that turns out people who
pirate are their best customers, they buy the most music.
This by the way, I don't want to bring it up again. But I will.
This was an observation I made during the heyday in the late
90s of Napster when that thing was kind of cut loose, and
everybody was joining it. And they're all downloading left and
right copying each other's collections and grand going
crazy that the CD market had its biggest boom year.
All downhill after that. And the day
they killed Napster. They basically shut it down. The
sales of CDs plummeted and continued to plummet. And I keep
bringing this up it's like an observation you can make Oh,
it's just a coincidence.
Now there's an official report out now you can find it in the
show notes three to five dot and any show notes.com and official
report which shows exactly this. And yeah, I think that's fodder
for another column.
Yeah, why not? I've been right I've done that columns five or
six times might as well just make it an even half dozen
and Mr. Oil in the chat room is saying that I am spot on the US
and Russia are already in a visa war and there is a cold war
going on and he can no I'm not far off on this there's
something very and of course that's why the Secretary of
State would be involved. Well, I'm
gonna wait in the UK I'm sure you're gonna be
gloating.
I'll be gloating. Well, maybe maybe not.
Alright, let me hit you with the God particle. And one more
question and some homework for everybody because machines do is
they accept this is about the you know, the we found that
anomaly in the data on the the Large Hadron Collider Higgs
boson. Yes. And the guy who the spiritual father of this whole
let's find the God particle is Leon Laderman. And I tried to
research Leon Laderman, for the answer to the question which
will arise in this clip, as some scientist guy is explaining why
it's so incredibly important to spend billions of dollars on
smashing particles together,
all right, protons up to near the speed of light, then they
smash these things together, and they create other exotic
particles. Now in these exotic particles, we expect to be able
to find these elusive ones like the Higgs boson. Part of the
reason why it's called the God particle is because some
physicists say that if we can discover this particle and
understand it, we might be able to understand some about how God
thought about putting together the universe so to speak, but it
really comes from Leon Letterman, who used it to
describe how difficult it was to identify this particle. And he
connected the word God with another word that I won't
mention here.
What does that mean? He connected the word God with
another word that I won't mention here. What Yeah, and I'm
trying to Find it what is this other word that he shouldn't be
mentioning? Listen to it again and then listen to the
interviewers stupid reaction
used it to describe how difficult it was to identify
this particle and he connected the word God with another word
that I won't mention here when we talk about the
so what is the word that we mentioned? What devil
evil
I mean the only one you we want to refrain from be damn
Satan now has to be damn. Why I don't know is
the only thing that I can see they would maybe make them not
want to say I mean it's good to be a curse word.
Well, I don't but I don't understand how that relates to
the God
particle, doesn't it? The guy was trying to be funny. Let me
listen one
more time to identify this particle and he connected the
word God with another word that I won't mention here
I don't know if
everyone else in the chat room is saying damn but I didn't. I'm
thinking what's gonna be the opposite of the God particle.
The Satan
see thing is just these two guys try he's a guy trying to be
funny who's not funny.
Oh, well in that case.
Gets a go. He gets a big ass douchebag All right.
Well, I failed to see the importance of finding out what
God was thinking. I've got my Bible right here.
And I don't see how you could anyway what is it? Got it? What
is it reds in a brain and gram? I mean what do you what are you
thinking?
bullcrap? It's a it's his diary.
So at the end of the show clip will be dibala Tonto discussing
their Fast and Furious nonsense, but with all kinds of
accusations a little bit harsher than his normal. He doesn't know
who's writing this stuff for him. But it's it's outstanding.
So that will be the end of show clip. We will be back again on
Sunday coming to you from Austin, Texas. We're going to
try and beat hurricane Don to the show grounds. Which is not
even a tropical storm. Yeah. Dawn Yeah. Tropical Storm dawn
at the moment but soon to be hurricane Tropical Storm first
in hurricane. Yeah, tropical storm Dawn right now. Yeah,
yeah,
there's not a hurricane. Yes, they're gonna do nothing but
rain on. Yeah. Like that day. The fact that in Florida it
rains at three o'clock and washes the streets clean every
day.
It's nice. It really cools me down.
That you find it peculiar.
Yeah. Thank you for asking. No, it's wonderful. I really enjoy
it. Especially in a box.
A few more anecdotes about the trip next show.
Well, you last on the last show. You said I talk too much about
it now. Now. You want I never said that. Just you did you said
yeah.
I challenge anyone to see here that on the show. You
know you said it after the show. When we do our shows that
we should start with a little with a little newsy or stuff and
then go on to the long discussion about know
what we what we discussed is we would do a little news, your
stuff. And then you said and then I'll ask you about some
anecdotes, which you never did. So then I just launched into
always my fault. Well, of course it's your fault. Ah, come on. Be
honest about it.
It's like that. Yeah, well, sometimes I forget. Ouch. Well,
I gotta I gotta say it again. For
for listeners who who don't understand it's it is
challenging. When you have a really bad Skype connection.
It's probably worse for Johnny's probably hearing half of what
I'm actually saying. And still able to hold up his end of the
conversation. What coming to you from the Big Easy in the great
state of Louisiana, everybody. In the morning. I'm Adam curry.
And from Pleasant silica. Fourth word, it's a not as interesting,
I'm sure as it is in New Orleans, which is one of the
very best but I don't know why you don't stay there longer. I'm
John C. Dvorak.
We will talk to you again on Sunday from Austin Texas. Stay
tuned on no agenda stream.com for the no agenda producers
update with Miss Mickey who was just come in like a hurricane
herself. Are you okay babes?
She went to the Lower Ninth Ward and she is depressed. So we'll
talk to the Thursday. Yeah. Right here on no agenda. Andrew
show clip coming up. Take it easy everybody.
switch gears to this awful story about the Federal Bureau of
Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms breaking the law. I know first,
that under the Constitution, Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms
are matters for the states to regulate. And so the whole bat f
itself, the whole federal bureau that does this regulation is on
constitutional, the feds have no lawful role regulating these
areas of behavior. But the story behind this so called Operation
Fast and Furious seems to be growing and getting worse every
day. We know that Attorney General Eric Holder told Mexican
officials of the existence of this nefarious program in 2009.
We also know that the Attorney General told a congressional
committee that he first learned of it in the spring of 2011. And
yesterday, we learned that the FBI agent in charge of the
Phoenix FBI office, told a national security staffer in the
White House about the program in September 2010. We also learned
yesterday that the be ATF and the FBI lost track of over 1000
guns in this program. The program worked like this, the B
ATF and the FBI have used their undercover folks to leak word
that certain gun shops will look the other way and let anybody
buy anything. The FBI and the DEA ATF had already told the gun
shop owners that they will not be prosecuted for selling guns
to felons and other unqualified persons, even though such sales
are themselves felonies, because the government wants these guns
out there so it can trace them. The guns are not sporting
rifles, and they're not hand guns. These guns that the feds
let gun shop owners sell to known criminals are high powered
military type weapons. felons who buy the guns are not federal
agents or informants, they are themselves criminals and thugs
who can be counted upon to resell those guns to Mexican
drug cartels and other organized criminal groups. From all of
this, we can draw a few interesting conclusions. It is
inconceivable that the Attorney General did not know of this
program. Prior to the time he told a congressional committee
that he first learned of it, he apparently wasn't under oath
when he spoke to the committee, whoever he still may have
committed the same crime for which his department of justice
is not prosecuting Roger Clemens lying to the Congress. Second,
the Feds broke the law in order to enforce the law, as it is the
job of the FBI and the be ATF to prevent felons and others
legally unqualified to purchase these guns from doing so. The
crimes these federal agents committed are malfeasance in
office, and what we call criminal facilitation, helping a
criminal to commit a crime. I can tell you from my own years
on the bench, that the government has done this before,
and has let bad guys get guns so as to see what they do with the
guns. But it has never publicly acknowledged doing so. This
federal law breaking only came to light because of this man.
His name was Brian Terry. He was a federal Border Patrol agent
who was not involved in letting these guns getting into the
hands of criminals. No, he was murdered by a person using one
of those guns. And only through that tragedy, did all of this
come to light. This is a very sad day and a black mark for
contemporary federal law enforcement at the highest
levels. It has been exposed as a law breaker. It's law breaking
killed one of its own, its senior official probably lied
about this in an environment in which a lie is a crime. Why
would the Attorney General lie, perhaps to protect the president
who must have been told that this program was not going well?
When the government breaks the law it has sworn to uphold, it
becomes a law unto itself and no one's freedom. And as we've
seen, in this case, no one's life is secure. The folks who
did this should be prosecuted, but the culture that permitted
it must be eradicated. And that will require honesty at the
highest levels of government, something that seems in short
supply these days.
