Hey Adam curry, John C. Dvorak is Thursday. This is August
18 2011. Time to get my nation media assassination episode 331.
No agenda. I got a couple of hands missing here that's
reporting from the front lines of Gitmo nation from the
forewings 5000 crackpot command center in the empire state from
the curry Greg homestead in Armonk, in the great state of
New York. In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam curry,
and here northern Silicon Valley, California a word safer.
And from the buzzkill bunker I'm John C. Dvorak. Buzzkill.
I apologize. My hands got crossed. I don't have my normal
jingle setting. Notice they
hit it. They hit it lag time was at a max Yeah,
we have major language on the heritage. In the morning to you,
John,
in the morning to you, Adam, and all ships at sea and boots on
the ground and feed in the air.
And of course, all of our human resources in the chat room had
no agenda chat. dotnet no agenda stream.com all charged up and
ready to go exactly the way their government loves them so
that they can be sucked dry of all of their resources, which
starts at about $9.2 million at birth. So where are you at?
John? You'd like to meal to meal left.
Right and probably down to next to nothing. You've depreciated.
Somewhere along that line. You're
off the books. So we are here in uncle Don and Auntie Meg's
driveway. In Armonk, New York where we have parked, the home
of IBM. That's right. We have parked the RV here. For two days
little mini family reunion my simple
area by the way for people who want to visit it
is if you like douchebag hedge fund managers who seem to live
they've bought up the entire area. And there's a little curry
homestead which has been in our family since 1929.
You know why IBM is in Armonk. It used to be headquartered in
New York City.
For the quality of living wrong. A bombs come again.
They were worried sick in the 50s Oh, that that New York was
gonna get bombed by the Russians, they and this will be
stowed hideout. And they decided that they did a bunch of
research to figure out what's the safest place in the country
to be in case of a nuclear war
in our markets right there armed? Is it how can that be the
safest place in case of a nuclear war?
That's what they decided at the time and they moved the
headquarters to the Armonk. They figured that it was gonna
decimate New York, Washington DC and God knows where else and
Armonk somehow is going to survive it like maybe the wind
patterns for rady radioactive radioactive fallout. I'm not
sure.
Sorry. misfire. Yeah. Well, anyway, we are here a little
mini family reunion my sister and her house. Yeah, I know.
Tiffany, actually. Tiffany? Yeah. Tiffany is not a donor.
She's, she's a complete Boehner. She doesn't like anything about
what I do. It's like whatever internet. She doesn't want to
know. And their son was 12, I believe. And they're on the way
there. So they flew over there on the way to Orlando to go
visit the parks and have a little vacation. So it was cool
to stop to my cousin Lucy, my favorite cousin, her daughter,
who is now 23 and her roommate that just moving into into New
York, and of course, Donna Meg has been great.
So wait a minute, you're telling me that the Hot Pockets tour
2008 was just a big scam. So you can just to
get here. That's the only reason why. I was also an intelligence
gathering mission for me, John, trust me. I've asked plenty of
questions. Okay, my favorite not I obviously I'm not gonna talk
about what we discussed here, the family, but I did throw one
out just to see what the response would be. And I said,
Actually, Don said, What do you think about the whole Murdoch
thing? The phone hacking? And so I laid him into it first, like,
well, you know, it's funny how the press jumps on that but
doesn't care about Americans phones being tapped and tracked
and the FISA and Patriot Act. And I said, but our assertion on
the show is pretty much this is mi six vs. CIA. Dude, he didn't
cry. He didn't flinch didn't move a muscle, just like
nothing. And then, yeah, and my six hasn't been doing too good
lately. Yeah,
well, that's what it sounds. Yeah. I think that's theory and
exactly sticking your
stick into that theory. Absolutely. So a couple of a I
was watching leucaena Paula Tonneaus. God my family's not
gonna understand the show. Watching Lucy show can't
believe that they haven't been listening all along. I'm so
stunned by this
rohhad. Really? Yeah. Well, well Willow has a commute. So Lucy
introduced her say something, See Something, Say Something
campaign, which by the way on the drive down from Boston, all
of the highway signs have this portrayed nicely, you know, the
the electronic signs See Something, Say Something. All
right, they probably in honor of the kickoff of the campaign.
licensed by the WHO WAS IT? New York MTA? Yeah. So she kicked
that off. And so I'm watching this and it was unbelievable,
because they were at the Chamber of Commerce. And they had, who
else were their former, the two previous secretary, secretaries
of Homeland Security, which would be shirt off and Ridge,
who both of course are now selling stuff to the Department
of selling standards that don't work. Yeah.
So I'm watching that. And actually, I only got one clip
from it, which is worth it just to hear about the special
relationship that they have.
Governor rich, Secretary Chertoff myself, we share she
just
sounds so glib, oh, and
she's smiling while she's doing this. She's like, smiling,
because it talks about their special relationship, special
bond. So I'm sorry, special bond? Because of course, so let
me think why is that? Oh, yeah, we're buying your stuff. And
listen to now she's gonna get all hip on us all of a sudden
check it
into terms of the multi mission aspects of the department, and
building the the department, even as we deal with everything
from natural disasters, to terrorism to other sorts of
mankind's disasters. So we run the gamut. We have multiple
missions. It is the now the third largest department of the
federal government that the by
the way, whoa, third largest department of the government.
Yeah, it's gonna get bigger. It's gonna be the largest user.
What is it? Is it
defense state and then Department of Homeland Security
of State has got to be second. Don't try to know now Hillary's
got an entire army.
What's battling to see what takes over the secret police?
So? So I'm just thinking, what is the number two agency if
defense is number one,
what does that maybe some in the chat room will know?
Anyway, here comes
Department of Homeland Security. So Governor rich Secretary Rich,
thank you very much for your service to the nation in this
regard. And I think a shout out is required a shout out a shout
out shout out. Rapper.
My name is Janet. They call me Lucy be had do my shout outs to
you and to me, I say Hey, Tommy ridge. Hey, Michael C. Shout out
to you. Let us all be. Yo. Busted we out. Crazy Ha, shout
out.
It's a woman creeps me out. Here
she is. So anyway, so I'm watching that. And then all of a
sudden, do we get an executive order came in this morning and
activated actually 12:01am. Even when the President is out on his
big black bus tour, he somehow had time to author up an
executive order and get it out at 12:01am Ready to rock and
roll?
Before you say what it is? Do you like me find that those
buses are incredibly creepy?
Yes, they are like the matrix. So I wrote
up a couple of complaints on Twitter about these buses that
cost the taxpayers $1.1 million. They're supposedly not supposed
to be used for official business purposes or bus by the bus and
they're being used for a campaign obviously. And I moaned
about these buses being creepy and some of the other dudes the
Secret Service Bus the Secret Service made the bus Obama
didn't make the bus and it's and I'm I'm thinking as as if Obama
had nothing to do with the specifications of this bus you
know, just whatever the Secret Service says goes
hey, what brand is the bus crap brand made in Canada? That's the
joke of it. Thank you. A Canadian throw up a couple
million bucks to the Canadian we don't make buses in the USA.
Like this. We don't customize buses in this country.
We can make a school bus unbelievable. I
mean, we're who makes a button who's all these rock stars
arrived to country western guys are driving around these buses
constantly screw rocks that are made in Canada.
How about the RV parks?
Yeah, yeah, we need Yeah, we got all these RV companies that need
help by administration that do Winnebago thank you guys are
going out of business and meanwhile they just They send
the money to Canada not to the Canadians aren't great people
this but that's beside the point with this guy in his big talk.
And his big bus. as creepy as
all black is blacked out. And it's it's and they here's a
crystal and they really cracked me up. They said, well, we can't
put any stickers of any sort on like presidential bus or
anything, because then people will know what it is. entourage
of about 40
cars. What I wonder what the who's on that bus. Who could be
on that bus, I think actually travels on the bus. Like he's
got a bunk. Like he's sleeping in the bus
must be sleeping in the bus. And there's, you know, he's got one
and then Michelle's probably got the other she's even there.
She's probably taking the 747 somewhere.
She's got the one with the rims. These guys are just
unbelievable. And the servos. Yeah. Anyway, so a presidential
order came out, ladies and gentlemen, this is the latest
Executive Order, I'm sorry. And it is, of course, posted nicely
on whitehouse.gov. And we appreciate the technical
experts. They're always taking care of the show. Today,
President Obama called for the president of Syria, Bashar Al
Assad to step aside and took the strongest financial action
against the Syrian regime regime thus far. And so of course, you
know, me, and this happened at 805 that just got published. I'm
like, oh, no, I gotta read this thing. And it is It boggles the
mind. It refers back to two previous executive orders. I
believe both sides time waster for you. Yeah. Thank you. Both
signed by believe President Bush, W. Bush. So here's the
here's the pertinent language that I found. And I find a
little bit of history on these, these precise executive orders,
the United States cannot and will not impose this transition
upon Syria, of course, the transition we're talking about
is to a democracy. It is up to the Syrian people to choose
their own leaders. And we have heard their strong desire that
there not be foreign intervention in their movement.
This is new, by the way. Who did you see this on the news?
What just came out this morning? No,
I mean, have you heard about the strong desire from the Syrian
leader, their own leaders not to have foreign intervention in the
opposition to foreign intervention in their movement?
Who are we talking to? Who are these
guys? I don't know. They're probably a bunch of
shackles have another transnational, Bobby, a bunch of
Iranians for all we know what the United States will support
an effort to bring about a Syria that is a democratic, just and
inclusive for all Syrians that we already know, this is
bullcrap, because the Senate legislation is all about Iran,
and you can still Oh, up until this, you could still invest $20
million. And it was said, and then no mention of Italy and
other countries that import and export and trade with Syria. It
has to be inclusive for all Syrians, we will support this
outcome by pressuring President Assad to get out of the way of
this transition, and standing up for the universal rights of the
Syrian people along with others in the international community.
And we will do this by blocking property of the government of
Syria and prohibiting certain transactions with respect to
Syria. Oh gonna steal their money or their money. Exactly.
Section three, I hereby determined that the making of
donations of the type of articles specified in Section
203 b two of I E P A 150. US USC 1702 b two by two or for the
benefit of any person whose property and interest in
property are blocked pursuant to section one that means any
persons corporations etc. was seriously impair my ability to
deal with the national emergency declared in the executive order.
1338 There's my Auntie, are you gonna unplug me already? Is it
time have they called my aunt just came out, she's got the
Glock. He's waving at me. So I of course, I want to know what
these donations are like, What? What donations are they talking
about? And so it took a little while because wow, this is all
over the place. And it goes back to 2010. And I'm sorry, 2009.
And there's another similar executive order in 2004.
Donations by persons subject to the jurisdiction of the United
States have articles such as food, clothing and medicine,
intended to be used to relieve human suffering except to the
extent the President determines that such donations would
seriously impair his ability to deal with any national emergency
declared under Section blah, blah, blah. So what I'm reading
here is that even food, clothing and medicine are not allowed to
be sent to Syria. So don't send your water and blankets. Wow. So
this type of executive order has been used in the following cases
and then we just be quiet about it because of course, we know
that this is a repeat of Libya. It was implemented in 79 for
Iran 97 from Myanmar, also known as Burma. 97 For Sudan, in 2000.
For Russia 2003 For Zimbabwe, the first time for Syria in
2004. Belarus it's been in place since 2006, North Korea since
2008. And Libya, of course, 2011. And now here we go again.
So if we just look at those, well, I guess we can expect some
kind of trouble soon. In Syria,
perhaps and then meanwhile, of course, Obama is going on
vacation. Yeah. Well,
hey, if the same as he did with Libya, he went down to where was
he?
He doesn't want to be around when the shit hits the fan. It's
amazing. Heck, no. So he takes off, he's gonna be gone for 10
days. So that means all the action will take place during
that period when he's going in. He'll be reporting remotely from
where's he going? I don't know. But let me wait. I just got this
morning's New York Times and let me take the special pages that
are always that you can pull out page 10 and 11 which is the key
to understanding the daily paper and we're sure there must be an
Obama story in here. Oh, yeah. Far from Capitol Obama finds
that his that its rows that its woes have followed him I guess
the Capitol was not his right. And they're talking about him.
Doesn't say where he's going. Huh, big black and Canadian.
They're busting him on the on the on the RV.
We're just gonna call it the Presidential RV from now on.
Yeah. Hey, does that have slideouts? Do you need a full
hookup 50 amp you got your dump tube? The you know they gotta
have one. You know they got a dump somewhere. This thing has
to stop somewhere to dump. You don't want if they go to
America sure that the paparazzi will be taking pictures of that.
They probably stop at the campgrounds of America K away.
All along. We got a dump here. Well, we don't allow off road
dumping. You'll have to take a site for the night.
So at the Secret Service get into the black. There's a
paragraph in here it says As for the jet black color. Guy says
George W. Bush oversaw the retrofitting of his campaign bus
in 2004. And said apparently, the Secret Service obviously has
a culture of the black car. So they were trying to get as close
to that as possible. They were they've Darth Vader
must be honest. CEO. Let's be honest. That looks cool. Looks
that bus looks creepy. Big Black bus like that. It looks cool.
Yeah, if you're running in some sort of covert operation. It's
not. I don't think it looks cool. I saw that thing come and
I wouldn't want to see who's coming out of it. Because he's
not getting any crowds. He's not getting any people. Yay. Change,
hope change hope these people that you know, he goes to these
these speeches. And for example, I got it. Here's here's his
typical speech. I got it here. Obama promotes. By the way, when
you play this clip, is this the one in front of the red barn?
And although no, no, that's a different one. Most of these are
pretty identical. There's nobody there. And nobody you got a
couple guys clap it. But here's the funny thing. He drops his
train of thought when he says this will create more jobs and
and then there's a long pause. He can't think of anything else
he said was if we're gonna help you, then you've also got to
change your ways. You can't just make money on SUVs and trucks.
There's a place for SUVs and trucks. But as as gas prices
keep on going up, you got to understand the market people are
gonna be trying to save money and money. What we've now seen
is an investment in electric vehicles. And then what we did
was we put investments in something called advanced
battery manufacturing. Because those electric cars, how well
they run depends on how good the batteries are, how long they can
run before they get recharged. We only had 2% of the advanced
battery manufacturing market. When I came into office, we're
on track now to have 3040 50% of that market. We are making
batteries here in the United States of America that go into
electric cars made here in the United States of America. It
creates jobs and it creates battery, battery independence
and it also improves our environment.
Create energy independence, you have to charge the battery so
it creates batteries.
By the way, I think you have the stats on these fantastic battery
cars. How are they selling at them? Oh,
we have sold 125 leafs and I'm sorry Chevy Volts in July. I
can't wait for the August numbers to come out I think
total now it's been since the product has been on the market
not hasn't even hit 800 Yeah, they're doing good. Well of
course they cost $60,000 Like white one, what do they cost
they you know that you know the price says, yeah, they
cost a $38,000. But actually, with all the stuff you want on
him, it's gonna be about 42. And then you can get a $7,500 rebate
from the US government, which drops the price somewhat. And
then you get another rebate from California. I think about three,
you can take about $10,000 off the thing. Plus you get free,
you can go across the bridges for free.
Oh, that's true. You know, I thought I had clipped this
because I wanted regarding the big black boss, because the the
black democratic Black Caucus is very angry at the President is
demanding an immediate meeting. And I can't believe I am maybe
summarize. Yeah, summarize is the big black bus didn't come to
the black neighborhoods. That's the summary. Oh, of
course not. They don't need. I don't know why the blacks
haven't figured this out. But they're not needed. Because
they're in they're already in the back pocket.
Well, that's what this one Republican representative was
saying. And I'm angry. I don't know, maybe I'll find the clip.
He's saying, Well, you know, the the democratic black, the black
Democratic caucus, I guess Maxine Waters leaves that. He
says they are just controlling the plantation keeping everybody
quiet. I'm like, Whoa,
that's heavy. We got to find that clip. I'm stupid. I don't
know where it went. Yeah, so that's
pretty much it. I think that's a good description of what's going
on regarding the black community. And then Obama, but
specifically
to say, hey, the big black bust didn't come to the black
community while and I was like, Yeah, really? It went to the Red
Barn. That's what a setup a? I mean, if you and I were
producing that show, we probably I mean, all was No, actually I
think it had every it needed more flag. I didn't see the
American flag.
But the clips didn't have enough flag,
no flag, but they got plenty of
any also did you fail to stay? I don't think they had enough
people show up. Apparently, some of these things have been
complete disasters. Because in the olden days, he would have
behind him all the people smiling, the smiling faces of
the Stooges. The other Obama buys right behind him. So he's
facing out and he has a bunch people facing out with him. And
they're all smiling and nodding. Yeah, and of
course, although this happens every single time around when
election starts, you know, he's he's basically campaigning, but
he's calling it a listening tour, which is very, very bad
example for children, teaching them how to listen. I thought
when you listen, your mouth was closed. Be quiet. Then one other
thing about drone nation, before we get into thanking some
people, yeah, this also came out this morning. So there was a
drone in Afghanistan that crashed into a cargo plane. And
really, yeah, the cargo plane that went there. So this is, of
course, we know there, how many how many drones 7000, drones,
7000
drones.
And now this was one of
which by the way, I want to remind people we're spending a
lot of time now listening to the reports and other things going
on at the Brookings and other institutions just these guys are
dropping bombs left and right.
But this came from the Ministry of Truth from CNN. And it's
quite frightening. So we're talking about smaller drones,
these are the 12 foot drones.
Yeah, and by the way, there's a number of do it yourself
projects underway on the internet, you can build one of
these drones yourself. And if you do it right with especially
as a computer chip, and you can actually launch it out to sea.
And then and then of course, you'll lose can you lose the
direct contact with it because you're not set up with an
infrastructure, but it will turn out you could have programmed it
to turn around and then get in contact. So go out to see, take
some pictures, turn around, come back to you pick it up again
with your remote control and land it.
So when you hear this clip, and I'll give you the payoff right
up front. Now I understand the necessity for and so I mean,
even thinking this, this drone crash or at least the way it's
being played up may have been explicit, and perhaps on
purpose. Now I understand the whole push for the next with the
calling next gen. Air Air aircraft control. So you know
that they want to move away from smart, talented aircraft, air
traffic controllers, watching screens, talking with pilots
with human human interaction as an airman I think I can say that
this is a very good thing. And there's always a healthy
friction between aviators and air traffic controllers, but we
do depend on each other. Instead, they want to move it to
all everything's automatic, and the planes know where they are
and they route automatically around everything. It says not
for airplanes, it's to get out of the way of the drones.
The American drone that collided with a huge Air Force cargo
plane was only 12 feet long, but look at the damage it caused.
The collision forced the huge Air Force plane to make it
emerge. didn't see landing in Afghanistan. And it's raising
questions about the safety of unmanned vehicles.
So this is a very, very rare event. Tim Owens
works for the Army's unmanned aircraft systems. He says they
flown more than a million hours a dirty dangerous combat
situations without an accident like this. The US military has
built a fleet of UAVs and troops are coming home to become cops
and firefighters with the expertise to operate them. They
want to use that technology here. Unmanned aircraft could
show firefighters how fast a Blaze is moving and where they
can search for climbers stranded 9000 feet up on a mountain.
By that I mean you're no longer worried about the risk of a guy
having to fly through a snowstorm. They use the unmanned
system to spot people and save lives. But
remember what a small drone did to a cargo plane. The thought of
it hitting a commercial jet is scary.
That is really the heart and soul of of the real issue now
that faces our industry
called McDuffie works for Institute and unmanned aircraft
developer. He says the Federal Aviation Administration has to
define the rules and regulations to integrate UAVs into American
airspace. There you go. Do you think the pace of the
development caught the FAA by surprise,
I think it was their belief that this was simply an annoyance.
But there's an entire convention hall filled with new technology
from pocket sized helicopters to aquatic vehicles that can
submerge 1000 meters for nine months at a time. They now
realize this is a much bigger, bigger problem and that UAS are
in fact here to stay they're going to have to wrestle with
the issue.
The military is working on various systems to help these
drones avoid collision starting with a ground based radar system
that would direct the drones away from other planes. For its
part we'll have the FAA will start integrating some of the
smaller drones first and then go on to the bigger planes. And the
goal is to get a completely new air traffic network in place
well before the year 2025.
Ladies, ladies and gentlemen of Gitmo nation, we need to stop
this insanity. We've seriously hearing this that we are going
to have drones flying all around America do saving lives of
course.
Yeah, and spying on people in their backyard, sunbathing and
then shooting them.
If that thing flies over the hilltop, watchtower, I'm skeet
shooting that thing out of the sky?
If you're gonna hit it did it would have been there have been
25,000 feet you can't even see it
depends on what hardware I'm using. John.
I'm not seeing you out there with adaptive adaptive optics
telescope looking for drone, we
got to make it a sport. But seriously, I mean, they're just
coming out and saying it now. It's like, oh, we have troops
coming back. And of course the highest unemployment in the
United States by segment is in veterans returning. And by the
way, what bull crap. I mean, the guys who are flying the drones
are outside of Nellis Air Force Base. Yeah, of course, in
various, you know, trailers flying these days are not a
bunch of guys coming back from Afghanistan with drone, all
sorts of drone train variants. It's bull crap.
It's maybe that drone
experienced by rolling the thing out to the runway.
And while you're actually a lot of these you launched by
throwing it like like you used to do a glider toss it in the
air and it goes
but they have a little rocket little jatco jado Yeah, no
it's just like a model airplane. These are model airplanes
are those are the small ones. I'm talking about the ones with
the with the the predators.
Oh, no, no, no, the big ones have a runway or the Raptors
wherever those rules that shoot you Reaper, the Reaper Reapers?
Yeah, those
things will be all over the USA too.
Yeah, of course. And that's why we need the next gen air system,
which is going to be billions of dollars. It's not for your
safety. It's we don't want to lose a drone. Oh, that would be
horrible.
So is that a sci fi that hit?
Don't know, don't know what it hit me the damage the wing was
you know as to like, it was like a bird strike essentially. You
know, one thing just we were in Boston. We were walking around
just to it was something that really hit me, which was really
weird. We were walking in Boston two days ago. And was it two
days ago? Yeah. And we're walking kind of Newbury Street
beautiful area, beautiful shops. You know, it had rained, but it
stopped raining and everyone's kind of like, you know, and
everyone's beautiful in Boston. You know, there's tons of money
around because of Harvard and there's you know, there's all
kinds of just good it's life is good in Boston, and I pass a guy
and he's got his dog tags out and he says Could you spare $1
for homeless veteran and my you know me Right, John, you know,
you know me and people asking for money on the street five by
Gatto. Yeah, I'm a big sucker that way. And, and I and so I
turned around and I said, veteran of what war? And he says
this one, sir. Like, wow, how messed up is this? We're all out
the street already. Yeah. Well, we're having a good time. He
said I did two tours came back, you know. And it just blew me
away that when he said he had this war, sir. Oh, yeah, of
course. I'm sorry. Oh, no, which one of the five that we're in?
Like, you know, how, how Nutty is it that we're all just, we're
shopping and we're blind buying sunglasses, you know, like,
having a good time as a homeless veteran me claimed he was
homeless had no reason to doubt him. Of this war, sir. This
worse war. Next, do you think Vietnam era veteran wouldn't
have this this war sir. makes me mad. Anyhow, lots of lots of fun
stuff today.
On that note, we should at least thank our executive producers.
Let us do that. So we have one two executive producers and 123
Associate Executive producers. And our executive producer at
333 Club for this show is a fish guy out of Missoula, Montana. It
says finally a donor after being a fish Boehner. All this time
I'll send a p d g e mail with the latest stories from Gitmo,
Big Sky and
PGPs. Probably encrypted is what he means.
Oh, PGP. Could be getting more potato head. I have just figured
out a couple of new ways to soak the rich. Yeah. All right. So
we'll look to that email and we'll read it. In a future
episode. Scott Henkel in Sunland, California is in the
331
Club and the only the only member that's great
number one member and he actually sent in a weird set of
donations I had to email and figure out what he was up to.
Anyway, so but he's executive producer he chose that Jonathan
Doughty in Alpharetta, Georgia $210 pronounced dowdy in the
morning, John and Adam, I'm a full time student. And what
worked full time and I'm living the American dream just getting
by
you know, Can I Can I just interrupt that so that I can
play the just getting by so that my, my uncle Don can hear it?
Oh, yes, please. Yeah, cuz I think he needs
to hear like a reprise a few of these for him.
I think I think it's well worth it. This is from the President's
weekly address from what is it now five weeks ago? Five, six
weeks ago, probably.
It's a while back.
Here's the American dream, according to your president.
In the end, the folks I hear from and letters are 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 all right. They'll be able to get ahead and give their
kids a better life. That's the dream each of us has for
ourselves and our families. That's right so long as I had
the privilege of serving as president I'll keep fighting to
put that dream within the
sayings are going to put the real American dream to work he's
going to put that dream by getting by eking out a living.
How are you doing on that job? Not a living get it out, man he
can
he's been meaning to donate. Jonathan has but with school
cost he's not been able to please give me a shot of karma
and a de douche combo double shot deuced you've got karma
There you go. My friend double shot
and thank him anonymous in Brussels, Belgium $200. Please
keep anonymous this donation and the podcast licensee needs we
have to put them on the listing and they have to extract it
Yeah, no problem. Great show worryingly quickly becoming my
only source of news analysis. I will be worryingly says this. I
agree I don't think we should be the only source of news analysis
I'll keep on sending you my euros before they collapse. By
the way there is good people out there in Europe should think
about this you know, your 100 Buck 40 euros is 14 Does anyone
tuna dollars and he says ITM Travis Dillman, Red Deer Alberta
are last Associate Executive producer in the Morning John Nat
and I've been listening to You guys your show for a year and
and a half and never donated he needs a douche B wants to be
douchebag
Well, why would you want that? Isn't that isn't that a D?
douching?
Oh, he says he wants to once it becomes Alright, alright, it's
an
s&m thing you got it my friend. That's what you want. After
listening to
that one episode where you guys are talking about Lucifers
lesbian relationships and then laughing his ass off when
apparently I made the comment about her sniffing her finger
out chars not my moment, by the way. No,
there was not I hope your wife scolded you for that crapped up.
I bet you're stealing bucks. Anyway, those are executive
producers and Associate Executive Officers today's show.
And we do have a couple of Hot Pockets producers to thank
because we first go back to our Pennsylvania meetup, chic sheeny
shinny meet up at the wonderful log cabin on the lake of shinny
lake with Michael and Sarah was a great time people came from
all over Scott shell Hummer, donated $333.33. And let me just
see, probably have to do his his letter during our donation
segment, but it was a beautiful letter that he wrote us. So
we'll put him on the list for I guess, the 333 Club and he's he
did the even the 33 cents, which is great. And we have a couple
other people will be thanking from there as well, and also
from Boston. But no one quite came in at the executive or
associated executive producer level. But we are looking
forward to thanking all of them later on in the program, then a
couple of PR mentions. So first of all, the email paid off John,
The Texas Tribune, as you'll recall, had sent me an email
requesting information about one of the now probably close to 600
domain names that forward to the no agenda show.com website, Rick
Perry 2000 twelve.com. And I'd sent them back an email. Did you
see what they printed? Yeah, they
printed a good little quote, even though they spelled my name
wrong. And they're linking to it they can easily so what kind of
fact checkers do they have at that place? Yeah,
that's not very good, apparently. Because yeah, they
and by the way, I wrote the email. So I don't understand how
hard it was. But as a parser, they talk about people trying to
make a mint on Rick Perry's running now. Like, we care. And
so here's the blurb about the show. Well, not personally
looking to cash in media personalities. John, how do you
feel? media personality?
I feel like a media personality. You got the ballsy
voice to go with it. Adam curry, a former MTV VJ and John C.
Dvorak. That's a horrible least they got the c part, right?
Yeah, that's the best part
are two beneficiaries of domain purchasing pranksters. Type in
Perry 2000 twelve.com. You will be whisked to the site of their
podcast and no agenda show. No link, of course. But they aren't
responsible for that the address is registered to an air
conditioning and electrical services company in Keene,
Texas. Sounds like a front quote, our listeners have
registered over 500 domain names that point to our show website
curry explained in an email. Usually this is due to a
conversation or topic on the show. We're no fans of Perry. So
this is a nice blocking move. Another Perry themed way to get
to the no agenda show site. Adios mofos.com Adios MoPhO I
like that. So anyway, if anyone picked that I have no idea how
if the Texas Tribune if anyone reads that are not? Probably
not. They have a.org domain name. So it doesn't seem like
that's a great thing.
Now that for a newspaper know that you can't get some some
newspaper names. Well, you know, speaking of of that, sort of,
I do have a couple of domain names you want to say something?
Oh, yeah,
run those through and then I want to go to this one little
certs your one of your theories.
Oh, good. So a couple of other domain names being forwarded to
the show site infinite growth paradigm.com. Great, it's
catchy. It's real catchy. Of course, this is a call back to
the previous show teachers with benefits.com also called back to
the Facebook story that was all over the fake news media. No
agenda puppets.com is now it's not a domain name for it. It's
an actual website where puppets speak in video and, and
propagate our messages. So it makes no sense for me to play
this one because it you know, just sound like us. But no, no,
it sounds like a guy. No, no, he's he's hired a guy to do the
puppeteering thing and he does the Gitmo nation national
anthem. They're not overdubbing our voices no No, no, it's a
it's fresh new content. Then we have expecting turbulence.com,
which I thought was also very nice. From Leland, who has been
unemployed for a couple months now. No agenda vinyl.com This
will of course be for my Adam sings the hits, which you're
planning on releasing official government website.com. And I
guess what I, we talked about this last time. But this is from
Victoria Arnoldi and says, Hey, you forgot to pimp out my buddy,
because we did talk about in the donation segment, but I didn't
put it into the link. So that's in the links now. And finally,
it's in John curry. devore@consulting.com. Yeah,
it's
about time. Yeah, we can start using that, by the way, but it
is a $30,000 retainer. I figured that's what we should or
shouldn't be
$33,000 retainer.
Oh, so I liked the official governor wanted
again, official government official government website.com.
I love
that. That's a great website.
So let's Google it. Let's see what happens if you do that. If
you Google for Hold on a second if you Google for official
government website, because people would be Googling for
that right? I would think yeah, we have usa.gov We need some
work on the juice. That'll happen. Yeah, now we need some
usa.gov
Yeah, we're gonna need some work efficient. I
didn't even know this existed. This is the government's
official web portal. They're making more websites at this 8
million bucks a pop up somebody's making now like it
$18 million. is somebody's making out like a bandit,
here. So when I curry devore@consulting.com, she will
be activated. Of course, as as we go into our consulting
business, primarily consulting Russia Today on better looking
hosts, who just who just bring in the bacon, because they've
gotten they've got all the right messages. They just don't have
some, some kind of some nasty feminazis running the place
that won't allow it possible. Possible.
That's the only possibility because if it was, you know,
normal broadcasting people,
yeah, we'd have hot babes blogs. It doesn't make any sense. I'll
name Natasha. Natasha. Back to you, Natasha. Thank you. And
Natasha, let me tell you what's going on here. Okay. Now Natasha
is up next with the better German? Well, I'm trying.
Bachman corndog.com. very apropos and extremely, extremely
current. Here's one that is a nice try. But I don't think it's
ever going to do us any good incompetent bureaucrats afraid
to answer a yes or no question.com. Appreciate the
try. But we don't think that's really going to fly. Then we
have looting and riots.com. That'll be good place if you're
looking for.
They'll be knocking on the door over that one. Yeah, a couple
others
in this forward. PR work from Mike infinite growth.com And
particularly popular.com. Then we have a new wiki which has
been set up no agenda, watch list wiki. And you can find the
link in the show notes at 331 dot na shownotes.com. This for
all the people that we're watching to this is our watch
list and you can contribute to that. And then the best one and
of course, we have to play a couple of clips here. Which
we'll do in momentarily after John has something to say lonely
lone wolf blitzer.com I like that one a lot. Lone Wolf
blitzer.com. So those are our Yeah, that's a good and those
are our PR mentions we highly appreciated. Thank you very much
to our producers who helped us out so of course, from the hot
pockets. Producer list. We have Scott shell Hummer with the
333 33. And then also on the list. We have executive
producers of fish guy, we have Scott Hankel we have Jonathan
dowdy without tea. We have anonymous from Brussels in
Belgium, and Travis Dillman as our Associate Executive producer
in Red Deer Alberta everybody else out there of course you do
have a mission is very, very simple. We'd like you to go out
we'd like you to propagate our formula. This is what it's all
about.
Our formula is this. We go out we hit people in the mouth
and say Whitney like you really need it. Shut up, slayed. Quiet,
sit down, eat your peas, pull off the band aid. Just get by
Yeah.
So you've been asserting for a while. That and now I'm I'm
thinking that probably you're partially right. I believe one
of the writers on the Jon Stewart show at least one of
them has listened to the show. Yeah. And the reason I say that
is because this particular gag which we have queued up here,
Stuart steals our gag. is too it's too obtuse squirrel because
because you just began to squirrel meme which some people
found offensive I always thought it was great because it was you
always dropped it in it was short. It was a good quick
little ditty never bothered me. And I like it. Yeah. And, and
which is the dog in the movie Up? Yep. And which is an old
movie and so you wouldn't it's not a common reference. It's not
a new reference. We
just kind of started this Thanksgiving this past year
because that's when I saw the movie November when I saw the
movie because my daughter said is a great movie you got to
watch this and and she was talking squirrel have to give
her some props. And I was like, that's perfect. You know? So
whenever there's like some terrorist alert and by the way,
we've never explained this on the show. Whenever someone's
talking about terrorists terrorists terrorists terrorists
lone wolf terrorists Oh terrorists hair squirrel just
hit a squirrel so
Jon Stewart finally comes around somebody on the staff I don't
know that he watches or listens to us. But somebody does it
because this this coming out of the blue X and by the way this
was run on Monday of this week this that I'm gonna play and
then he did it again he's he's be brought the squirrel thing he
said squirrel a couple of times either on the Tuesday or
Wednesday show I can't get too too mixed up but he did it
again. I think we'll hear from it. We're here and they did but
cuz he's got a bigger show. millions of listeners and
viewers he's going to steal he's basically stolen our material
bastard. And he'll take he'll be good we'll look derivative.
Yeah, we'll look like we're like we're stealing it's we got to
come up with something else. I hate that.
Thinks about Rick Perry. He's new. We haven't seen him before
the media really is the dog and up
you know, it's been seven hours I'm tired of Michelle Bachman.
Anyway, as immediate said, Rick Perry's
Yep, there you go. That's how it goes. Yeah, we are the unsung
heroes, John, have the squirrel mean? And we will of course,
you're right be called derivative of it. That's how it
goes when you have taken a vow of poverty?
Well, the funny thing is, you know, there's a there's a kind
of an unwritten rule in the world of comedy, that you have
to either pay. Yeah, for stolen material, or at least maybe do a
no agenda. show.com Plus, I'll tell you what's gonna ridicule
us. I think that'd be great. We just want vidiots Right. Here's
what I'm like, here's what I like, here's what I'd like. I'd
like him to do a segment like, whatever became of that hair
guy. He's hanging out with this douche. And just show us and
then no agenda show.com plug for the
show is all we need. Or we could go under any circumstance. I
don't care if they you know what they say? Or,
or or I would be happy to step back. And I think that you could
be on the show to promote your book. There you go. The one with
about a minute now IBM IBM communications programming from
over the
years. So I'm just wrapping up getting my clips and then I'm
watching a little TV Ignite and I normally don't watch Jimmy
Kimmel, kind of a fan of GQ or Joel McHale, the guy who does
the suit. The suit guy. Yeah,
he's great. He's great. He's great. So he
was on. And he gave this anecdote about this weird TSA
program. I mean, he makes it kind of humorous, but I'm
wondering that let's try to deconstruct what they might be
up to here because this is really weird.
Yeah, let me do this really quick. No, yeah, I flew in this
morning. And on my way there at LAX. I was getting through the
security and I man, uh, one of the TSA people began right next
to me began to shout the word bras. He was just going Bravo,
bravo. And I was like, thank you. I totally nailed putting my
laptop into a container separately. And then they all
shouted Bravo all together, like a flash mob. And then there were
Nobody move. And I of course thought, oh, no, there's been a
problem. I'm going to try to get out of here. So I put the kilo
of heroin back in my bag. But they're like don't move so I
literally we all were fro like one woman had her hand up. And
then there's a positive because you've just been a part of the
TSA Bravo program. You may now proceed. Really? They never said
what it was for Other than fun, and
how long did it go on?
I would about a minute that we sat there frozen real in. And
then yeah, and I would have just gone. Why not just go bad guy,
bad guy with bad stuff? Good. But I was it was one of those
moments where
I when I hear Bravo I think, of course of the Real Housewives,
maybe they're preparing for a visit from them.
That is a big terror threat.
Wow.
Yeah, of course I have the new procedures. I don't have them on
this laptop for obvious reasons. But I'll look it up. And I'll
see if there's a Bravo procedure in there.
There's references to it on the internet's that go back to 2009.
And here's one example of a code Bravo is a code phrase with a
general security alert at airports. But it sounds to me if
they're practicing on the public with with false alarms. Yeah,
that's not and they want everyone to freeze. I think
they're just trying to I think they're just messing with.
Everybody stopped moving. So we watched this.
In that clip, he mentioned, flash mobs and flash mobs is an
is the meme is back. Of course, flash mobs have been around for
a while. This is why if you don't know why they are in
commercial television these days, you know that you're the
guy that's trying to start the flash mob and he's 10 minutes
early because he isn't using AT and T or whatever. And so I've
been looking around and I found a couple of very by
the way, by the way, I don't think it was at&t with so
ineffective that commercial, commercial.
Commercial works great. You know, you guys gotta go hire
Jeff Smith. Sir Jeff Smith does jingles those things work, the
pendulum will swing back, you'll find out that making catchy
little tunes for your product is better than these stupid high
concept commercials, which we don't remember. So our national
treasure NPR is starts it off with an assertion that was quite
new to me,
were forced into a gut wrenching decision of how we were going to
stop it.
This by the way is of course about the BART train station,
turning off cell phone service. Because people were going to
organize into groups to to protest given
the propensity of this group to create chaos on the platform.
Using mobile devices to organize groups of people isn't new. Such
groups are sometimes called flash mobs. flash mobs have used
mobile devices to organize fun stuff like group dancing in a
public spot. But in other cities, flash mobs have been
organized to rob stores and attack people. The question is
whether or not cutting off cell phone service is the right way
to combat the problem like
Laura what? Now when did we hear about a flash mob being
organized to rob stores plural hideaway plural. This is from
the NPR stores plural, NPR. So I'm like I gotta find an
example. There must be something recent. There must be some story
about a flash mob being organized to rob a store which
I'd never heard of before. Because of course now flash mobs
will be outlawed and it's gonna be this great little meme that
everyone can use and lo and behold, I find one this throws
back to about a week and a half ago at the State Fair and even
the state fair you go darling thank you so much. The following
takes place but they've got the sheriff on and he kind of gives
away that it's probably we don't know if it's a flash mob we're
just going to use the meme anyway some
or something that's been a harmless even a fun fad has
turned fun fad fun fad flash. fad, funfair.
Thank you. Are they still listening, Nick? Oh, is Uncle
Don rolling his eyes? Yeah, he's listening in the other room.
He's on the hotline now.
He's sleeping. He's
sleeping. Like, I'll go down with like, oh, I can't listen to
this. Am I really related? I want a DNA test. Now
dangerous and illegal young people using social networks and
text messaging to get organized. I've been assembling in what
they call flashmob. But over the weekend in Germantown, Maryland.
A flashmob of more than two dozen young people showed up at
a convenience store just before two in the morning. So here's
the host asserting a flash mob showed up at the store to rob it
Now let's hear from the law officer.
Look at it right there grabbing things off the shelves. Flash
Mob out they go leaving without paying
without paying. It's called stealing and shoplifting, not
flash. mobbing seeing
similar reports in other cities most involving African Americans
and some oh I'm sorry, black people flash mob as it gets
worse leading to mob violence with us now the Montgomery
County Maryland police chief Jay Thomas manger, and CNN
contributor for the worst place
in the world. Listen to what he says though,
Chief, this is your jurisdiction German town where this played
out. What do you know about how they got organized? And I've
spoken to the Philadelphia chief Charles Ramsey recently he says
they're using texting using social media. Is that how this
happened? Well, that's still under investigation.
It's still under investigation.
We know that John King is just talking out of his ass. It's
better.
We've gotten some information that some of these kids were at
the montgomery county fair. When it closed, they took the last
bus back to the Transit Center in Germantown. Then when they
got there, what we're thinking is that that's when they were
thinking they started using the social media to get a larger
group together to go into the 711.
So, bullcrap that it's just it's a nice little meme to use.
Another thing and more fun taken away, no more, no more dancing.
No more dancing, you know more flash mobbing? Now here comes
the funniest thing. This is the funniest, I think I've got the
Clip of the Day. This is the spokes hole for BART. Now, just
to recap, for those who don't know, Bart Bay Area, rapid
transit, there were people who are organizing a demonstration
because a transit cop killed a young man. And he was pretty
much acquitted. I think they held the trial in Los Angeles,
of course, nowhere near Oakland where it took place because they
didn't want huge riots happening when any peers, they exactly.
peers. Thank you. And this guy, he's the spokes Hall, listen to
his view of the Constitution. John, could you please grab your
copy of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights? Because we have
to fact check what this guy is saying that as
a foreign official? Sure. As a foreign official, my new focus
now is to provide safe transportation for folks. And so
to answer your question directly, yeah, I can't tell you
what we're gonna do because we don't know yet. What we're
facing,
I guess I should say they turned off the cell phone service in
the station, so people couldn't create a flashmob.
All we know is that we, we have a protest and we here's a
peaceful one. And we welcome the peaceful posttests. I'm the
administrator of the Free Speech program at BART
heat. So he's an expert. He knows all about free speech,
let's go
and as long as they say outside the fair gates in the free
speech zone that says unaided by the Constitution. Oh, hold
on a second, the free speech zone as designated by the
Constitution,
holy crap.
as designated by the so you can have free speech
in Hyde Park in London. I mean, what are we talking about your
Speaker's Corner,
the free speech zone as designated by the Constitution,
but it gets better.
Would you stop? You gotta play the douchebag clip, please.
It's not unbelievable that this guy could actually say that. All
right, free speech zone as designated by the Constitution.
Let's hear more from this leader of free speech.
We welcome the protests.
Well, if it is, if it is Lenten, if it is a peaceful protest, as
as everyone is hoping then why the need to shut off cell
service if that is the way you go?
Well, what we're going to do is take the steps within the
constitution to be able to ensure the safe passage of our
passenger.
So wait a minute, the Constitution says you have to
have safe passage on a train. This is what he's asserting.
Now.
Remember, there are more constitutional rights than just
free speech here at stake.
Listen, be quiet and listen.
So right to be safe, the right
to be safe. John, could you please look at the Constitution?
Do we have a right to be safe? The right to be safe is a
constitutional right, ladies and gentlemen. And there's
more. And that is a constitutional right.
It's a constitutional right. John Wooden says guys, it is a
total hassle.
And I know the media is very sensitive to free speech,
disaster business, but we're very sensitive to safety.
Let me ask you, ultimately up to go ahead. Go ahead.
You want you want to know why we why we're forced into this
decision? Exactly. The protesters forced us into this
decision. They made us choose between people's ability to be
able to use their mobile phones and the mentality that we
provide. And our customers right constitutional right to be able
to get from point A to point B with Oh, hold
on Check, check the Constitution. Do we have a right
to get from point A to point B? Yeah, there it is.
Their business for? And so what we did is we took a very narrow
timeframe, three hours and four stations where they said prior
to that protests that they were going to try to disrupt and
create a huge safety problem. And we stopped service for
mobile phone users, because they were going to take the very tool
that we put in place, this tool, the mobile phone service, a
safety tool, they're going to turn it around and use it
against our customers. So they took this mobile phone service,
a tool for safety and use it against our customers to try to
violate their constitutional rights to safety.
I want to invoke my constitutional right to safety,
please. Well, here's
the thing that bothers me more about that clip than the fact
that the guys are more on It is what is the reporter doing? Why?
Well, the crap Yeah. Constance because she doesn't know,
idiot. Does she not know anything? No. Does anybody even
read the Constitution anymore? Why would a reporter I would
fire the reporter the next day I would bring her in the office
was the editor and say, look, look at this. We're this guy is
wide open for nothing but a couple of decent questions. You
didn't ask anything, you're fired.
constitutional right. For to safety. Now, it's crazy on that
on that note, and then I'll shut up. This is not a clip. But
Fareed Zakaria, your friend who has private consultations with
our president, he wrote a blog post he
hates the Constitution, we should
Well, let me clear, yes, he hates the Constitution. He
doesn't think it's good. And here it is. does America need a
prime minister? He writes, Oh, brother, after the SNP and a
beat King Well, him apparently, ah, after the s&p downgrade the
United States no country with a presidential system has a triple
A rating from all three major ratings agencies, only countries
with parliamentary systems have that honor. And then he goes on
to say that our government is no good, because we can't make
decisions quickly because of our presidential system. The
American presidential system in contrast to David Cameron of the
Gitmo nation east, you have the presidency in the legislature,
both of which claim to speak for the people claim. As a result,
you always have a contest over basic legitimacy, who is
actually speaking for and representing the people. He is
advocating, doing away with our entire system.
He's actually the advocate. This is actually if you look in the
Constitution, you cannot he drew this advocating the overthrow of
the government government on CNN, he's treason. Treason, it's
as close to treason as anything else that these guys are saying
is treason. I mean, like that idiot, Rick Perry, who says
that, that Burnett Bernanke is treasonous for doing what he has
to do at the Fed. Yeah. How amazing. This guy out No,
how long? It's amazing to me. It's amazing that he gets away
with saying this. Now he doesn't actually come out and say we got
to overthrow it and make somebody king. He actually says
follow me on Facebook and Twitter. Well, same thing. It's
the same. It's the same thing. If we're in for another five
years of this squabbling in the US, we are going to make
presidential systems look pretty bad indeed. Thank you for riq
GPS Zakaria. Anyway, they got me a little riled.
Well, I'm a little annoyed by this flashmob situation, because
the New York Times some I don't know, maybe a week or so ago,
they did. It was a little it was a little op ed or some little
editorial, perhaps I can't remember. I just remember seeing
it. And they were saying, you know, isn't this getting a
little old and cliche, they were kind of trying a wet blanket on
the whole idea and I thought I kind of agreed with I mean,
which is like it is cliched, but I didn't think it was maybe some
sort of code for let's put an end to it.
I think it is I think it's an it's just another step in and
then you another little notch to remove all of our Yeah,
essentially all of our freedoms on the interwebs it just keeps
on going
ya know, you equate flash mobs not with with evil. And you can
I look into this up and there were there were some incidents
in Philadelphia supposedly, in January for March. Well, they
just flaming every so any advertising everything and flash
mobs are bad.
Well, actually, Russia? Yeah. Well, I'm
just gonna say this because I was talking to buzzkill Jr,
about this. And he says there's a huge movement afoot, which is
not flash mobs, but it's one of these underground things are
starting up for everybody and their sister to reregister as
Republicans and vote in Ron Paul. Yeah, cuz there's no
reason to be a Democrat in the upcoming primaries.
You mean Ron Paul, the third party candidate the Kook from
Texas,
the cook the Cook, who we'll get to in a minute cook
from I got to kind of just tell you a little uncle Don story.
Yeah. So, Uncle Don, of course, he, I love the man. He, he
querries me, you know, we talk a little bit about the cook from
Texas, because I said I remember that cook. And then he says so
who do you know of course I late he says he's very disappointed
in President Obama, by the way, and says, so who do you think I
say you know about I was gonna quit. It gives me one of his
looks. Really? Yeah. He said, Well, who's who do you see as?
As the as the guy on the Democratic side, and I said,
percentage. And he says, Oh, the Kook from Ohio,
there was a Supreme Court decision a few years ago that is
being used to usurp the War Powers Act. And it all comes
down to the Constitution, but set the War Powers Act aside for
a minute the Constitution makes it manifestly clear that only
Congress has the power to send our young men and women into
war. Unfortunately, this administration, even though it's
headed by a constitutional scholar, now it's ignoring the
Constitution and determining that they have the right to send
our troops into war anytime they please. Well, you go kook kooky
kooky guy. Yeah, that's crazy talk.
That's just that's just outrageous.
Well, I've come to the conclusion I'm going to put in
the Red Book is my prediction, which is, and I did predict that
Obama is not going to run again, but that whether or not he does
not is beside the point on this one. I believe that that
Republicans will have the two, here's who's going to be
running. Romney is going to be the head guy. Oh, you don't you
don't think Perry? No, Perry is going to be the vice president.
Oh, very only came in to be the vice president because he can't
sustain a possibility of a win because he's a complete screw
up.
You know what he is he's the money man, because he's got big
pharma behind him. He's a big supporter of Gardasil and all
the
more importantly, right. He's a big pharma guy, and more
importantly, insofar as the public's concern with I mean, as
far as we're concerned, yeah, that's what we're talking about.
But as far as the public is concerned, he is the evangelical
balance against the Mormon.
Oh, there you go. We can't have the Mormon getting in.
No, no it was out of balance because then you know, you can
always shoot the guy and then you get the evangelical to take
his place so you don't have to worry about anything so there's
no worries because you have the evangelical in the White House
and he'll be out there acting like an idiot you know that that
he is very good. The only reason he came into the into play at
all is to just say here I am I'm gonna go put up a good fight and
all the media guys are gonna say yeah, he's just part of the
whole thing he's he's really a contender, but he only came in
to be the vice president cuz they have to give it to Romney.
Romney has been waiting just patiently the way you know
McCain was last time these this is all a scam. And they put
these people in line it's okay, you're next. Oh, god. Okay,
we'll get did Bachman thing don't worry about it. She's not
getting anywhere and painless. been told not
they've just got good consultants and they're smart
because we need the the Presidential reality show to
look good. And we put Bachman in. But you know what? For as
calm and collected as she was? Several months ago. What is the
deal with her screaming that she is someone give this woman
microphone technique? Please. Stop it. It's annoying. Sorry, I
blew up my mic. The country we're gonna do like Hello, stop.
Right?
Yeah, she's got to fix the mic.
So I figured it all out though. I figured it all out. Remember
me talking about Project Blue Beam? This is not second half of
the show stuff actually.
But vaguely go on and explain.
Okay, Project Blue Beam is it's a theory that claims that NASA
will be as attempting to implement new age religion, with
the Antichrist at its head to start the new world order. And
the idea is that the government would create a fake invasion of
aliens. And that, then we'd all be like, oh, you know, whatever,
we'd all get in line. And of course, you know, I follow the
Yeah, I'm a crackpot. So I follow this stuff like Project
Blue Beam. And whenever there's a UFO sighting, I'm always quick
to believe that it's real. Um, but I always have in the back of
my mind, you know, maybe this could be the start of Project
Blue Beam because I'm not leaving anything out. I have no
real agenda. And then we have Nobel Prize winning economist,
Krugman, who writes for The New York Times and he wrote this in
his column, I was floored, and luckily, so I don't have to
read. He went on Zecharia show. Uh huh. Was a Korea and he
explained the solution to all problems in these United States
of Gitmo nation. Very simple
thing about World War Two, right? That was not that was
actually negative social product spending. And yet it brought us
out. I mean, partly because you want to put these things
together. If we say, Look, we could use some inflation. Ken
and I are both saying that which is of course anathema to a lot
of people and in Washington, but is in fact what the Basic Law
Patrick says it's very hard to get inflation in a depressed
economy. But if you had a program of government spending
plus an expansionary policy by the Fed, you could get that. So
if you think about using all of these things together, you could
accomplish a great deal. If we if we discovered that, you know,
space aliens were playing to attack, and we needed a massive
buildup to counter the space alien threat. And really,
inflation and budget deficits took secondary place to that
this lump would be over in 18 months, there you
go. So all we need is the threat of space, aliens invading us.
And we'd be out of this recession in 18 months, and what
he does, in fact, if I understand him correctly,
because you know, I'm no Nobel Prize winner, is he calls back
to World War Two and says that was good for business. He says,
World War Two got us out of the slump. Is this correct? John,
you're a scholar of these things.
Ah, well, you know, that's a that is one theory. Now, if you
go by economic cycle theory, that's bull crap in 1940 Was it
would be the end of one of the 8040 cycles, and it would have
picked up no matter what you did. This is the same thing that
Ronald Reagan ran into. He was right on that in 1980, was right
on the cycle ending. So the economy was in the toilet
through the entire 70s. And then it just came out of it even with
voodoo economics, the fact that whatever he did would have
worked because it all works during the cycle, and 1940s at
the cusp. And so so it's questionable. Yeah, it looks
good on paper that we got out of the depression because of the
war, but I'm not I'm never bought into that. Well, so let
me ask you, then if by the way do we got out of you know, do we
have to have a war to get out of a depression that this is the
question you have to ask you. Even so?
Well, let me ask you then if smart guys like this, who writes
for the Ministry of Truth, Nobel Prize winner who the other Nobel
Prize winner? Oh, yeah, President Obama
as a Peace Prize as slightly different
still it comes from the Nobel Institute. If if they're
thinking is like this, could this entire lone wolf terrorist
around every corner under your bed, you know, crazy white guys,
without turbans on could that be to build up the Department of
Homeland Security and create more government jobs to make? Of
course, Janet Lucy wants to be number one, she can't just be
number three, and that doesn't look good on your resume? Could
that just be could all this be to just build up and build up
and create more jobs to get us out of the economy? slump that
we're in?
Well, yeah, the problem the I mean, there's that element. I
think it's always been in play. And I think we've kind of
acknowledged it. But the problem is, is that this all really
began after 911. Right, it hasn't really worked. And it
hasn't done crap.
But what is done is it sells putting us
deeper and deeper into into it into a spiral, a downward
spiral. None of this is working. This guy is completely off base
as the his entire economic thesis, not Krugman, but the
Obama administration, and all this and creating the secret
police and then, you know, kind of an armed forces within the US
and harassing the public. This is gonna turn out badly.
So let's get into it. Then. As I think, again, you know, we're
being ripped off because we first started out with he
watched Jon Stewart start playing lone wolf clips. You
watch you watch him do that. So there's a book out, and I heard
this on the road when we were driving on the national
treasure. I've got a couple clips. Two guys, Eric Schmidt.
Not from Google,
not our Eric schnell.
And Tom Shanker is actually interestingly enough, his name
is spelled t h o m, so it's Thumb, Thumb vom Shanker both a
journalist at the New York Times, and they can they've
written a book, and this book, produced an article in your
Sunday Times, which we talked about briefly on Sunday, but
they're out plug in the book, and they have started off an
avalanche. I tell you an avalanche of abuse against the
poor citizens of the United States of Gitmo nation. Yeah, it
certainly did what what the American military intelligence
can do is forge the watermarks or certification, if you will,
of official al Qaeda postings because they don't want people
going online and pretending to be them. But, you know, American
cyber technology is so advanced that they can have a near near
perfect recreation of an al Qaeda message. And what they're
doing from time to time is going on to jihadi websites and
posting conflicting and contradictory orders. Statements
that raise doubt about who the jihadi should follow and who's
really in charge. And is this person still alive? Are they
still in control? And the goal is to really disrupt the entire
network by sowing, distrust and dissenting and can confusion.
We've been told that they've had some great successes at that.
So do you think it's possible that perhaps, and these of
course, are, amongst others probably elusive for Hillary
Clinton's techno experts? Do you think it's possible that if
they're out there to convince extremely sophisticated jihadi
terrorists that they might confuse the New York Times
reporter or two, with writing conflicting bogus reports of I
don't know. How about ricin. Maybe we're gonna go kill
everybody with ricin
happened, the death toll could possibly be far higher than the
911 attacks. The New York Times reports that US officials fear
that al Qaeda may be trying to produce the very deadly poison
ricin. The time says Wrightson would be packed around small
explosives for attacks against the US. According to the Times
for more than a year the al Qaeda affiliate in Yemen has
been trying to acquire large quantities of castor beans those
beans are necessary to produce the ricin the white powdery
toxin is so deadly that just a speck of it can kill you. The
author of The Times article is Eric Schmidt. He's also the
author of the new book Counter Strike the untold story of
America's secret campaign against al Qaeda. His co author
is Tom Schenker, Eric Schmidt joins us now from New York. Hi,
there. Erica. This is a frightening and amazing stories.
Well, I want to begin by asking you what does this ricin plot
tell us about the danger of al Qaeda, such as the one in Yemen?
Well, what it tells us, Randy is that even with the death of
Osama bin Laden, and may the affiliates of al Qaeda in places
like Yemen, adherence in Somalia, these are still very
dangerous to the United States. The arm of all candidates in
Yemen, after all was responsible for the plot of the so called
underpants bomber, the Christmas of 2009. And then 10 months
later, the printer cartridges that were packed with explosives
and put on cargo planes bound for Chicago. So what that shows
is that even with Bin Laden's death, he's affiliates are still
very dangerous to the country. Very dangerous, very
dangerous. So you know, I'm thinking our own Cyber Command
put out a thing about rice and to scare people. And then the
New York whatever it happened to anthrax, you know, it seems to
me that they guess they dropped the ball on
rice, and it's easy to make. This is the whole thing we got
to make it easy to make. Ramen noodles and ricin. There's a
couple more it's because now of course, we got to roll out
everybody on our stupid compromises cable news networks.
You
know, I imagined that post Bin Laden, al Qaeda, al Qaeda might
be looking for some kind of attention grabbing attack of
some sort is is that part of the of the equation here that
there's some concern that al Qaeda might be trying to show
that it's still relevant, even without Osama bin Laden? Now?
What
do we know about al Qaeda? John, we know that they are ready for
an IPO their CEO got killed. They have affiliates, and we
should refer to them in the proper context. When we're on a
bullcrap News Network.
Well, I don't you know, I think probably there's a desire to
attack. Revenge for Oh, not
a scam.
This guy was on the bin Laden team failed up from 90 to 90
hours.
I can't remember his name. He's an ex CIA.
I gotta I gotta ask Uncle Don about him. This guy's complete a
brownish jabroni he's a jabroni. He looks like a jabroni. Well
listen to what how he how he rolls it out.
For the lions killing surely is on tap, the idea of maybe some
kind of a tap around attack around the 10th anniversary. Of
course, let's all be afraid about that. But I think the
important thing to keep in mind is it that al Qaeda is an old
established firm,
firm. It's the firm. It's the firm Now, John, they can't stop
doing it. It's the firm, illicit and killing its
leader is important, but not a not a not a fatal blow to them.
They've had a nuclear program acquisition program underway
since 91. Chemical Weapons since the late 80s, early 90s. This is
an old established firm in the fact that they're getting to the
point where they can find a way to use these and have like
a fridge to plea 1853
is troubling. I also have to say that the killing of bin Laden
will indeed unleash within al Qaeda, people who are much less
measured in their approach to attack Ah, yes more willing to
kill civilians much more willing to stage smaller scale attacks
inside the United States. Bin Laden son once said that the
Americans will be very sorry they didn't kill my father in
1998 or 1999. Because the next generation is much more vicious.
Yeah, vicious vicious. So then he very afraid then we got a
rollout Bolton because of course, Bolton you know, he was
an ambassador. He's official he was The ambassador to the United
Nations, hey, let's get bolted on that moustache can hide all
of the all of the grimaces he's making here well, you
know what, this
is amazing because you only need the smallest amount of rice and
just a few grains, just like salt to kill somebody. How
frightening is this? And what is the reality?
Well, it's a very real threat. You know, ever since the
terrorist attacks of 911, we've been worried that the really
devastating possibility exists that these terrorists, these
suicide bombers, would acquire weapons of mass destruction,
nuclear, chemical or biological. So even the 3000 deaths of 911
would be eclipsed by 10s of 1000s, hundreds of 1000s dead.
We know from captured documents after we overthrew the Taliban
and Afghanistan that oh,
wait a minute, we overthrew them. Is that done? Did you get
that memo? We're done?
Once, okay, and they kind of made it
as a priority. So it's, it's not new, in a sense, but it's new in
that this is a current ongoing operation by al Qaeda in Yemen,
apparently, and it should underline for all Americans that
the war on terror is a long way from over Yeah, and if use could
escalate with devastating concert devastating for innocent
civilians, here are terrorist attacks.
So astounding about this, as you need such a little amount of
look what they already did in Yemen, they were able to send
what remember those printers,
blah, blah, blah, blah,
they filled with rice. And I'd be more impressed. I've got one,
I've got a clip to follow on to these clips, go for it. WOLF
BLITZER on 911. I want to say something about it when it ends,
because this is he will have had an exclusive interview with
Obama
comes out of it when I have the whole interview, if you want to
play it as well,
I don't want to hold it. I just want this.
And he sat down with both butts in my colleague for an in depth
one on one interview, and both joins me now. Both
congratulations on your interview. What was the most
striking part of it from your point of view?
At one point, we started talking about the 10th anniversary of
911. And I'm very worried, here's I don't know about you.
But I'm very worried having studied terrorism in the Middle
East for a long time, that al Qaeda elements, whatever is left
of al Qaeda sympathizers will seek to do something as
spectacular on the 10th anniversary of 911. And I was
wondering how concerned the President was, and he's very
concerned. And he specifically is concerned about what he
called a lone wolf terrorist emerging someone along the lines
of what happened in Norway. And he is worried about, you know,
other potentially more significant kinds of terror
attacks. But he says that they're going to step up their
precautions. And it was sort of Stark to me that, you know, the
enormous responsibility as as commander in chief on this
upcoming 10th anniversary, you know, that there are al Qaeda
elements who will want to seek revenge against the United
States that come Come on this on this 10th anniversary, and I'm
sure he's very concerned about it. All right.
He's sure they're concerned about what he was that talking
to. But did he ask him? Yes, he did. Well, in it, here's the
thing that got me when he's doing this he described went a
little longer. He made an implication that we killed their
leader. And so they might want to kill tallow leader, right.
And so now I'm thinking, what is this? Was this some sort of a
subtle message or telling Obama to get in line or we've seen
this before where there's these subtle kind of implications that
they had kind of show up in the news media that are like, what
am I you know,
what I didn't like get back to work, what I didn't like, and he
did the same thing to the president. He says, I am worried
I have studied terrorism, I am worried there's going to be some
kind of massive event on 911. I'm Wolf Blitzer.
So he's delivering the message.
Just listen to a little piece of the actual this piece from the
interview. Do you see the interview with Obama? Yeah, it
was terrible.
The Middle East for a long time have covered terrorism for a
long time. And I have to tell you, I'm worried that on the
10th anniversary or approaching the 10th anniversary of 911 al
Qaeda was left of al Qaeda or their supporters will try to do
something to seek revenge for your your killing bin Laden. How
worried should we be about that? How worried are you about that?
So I mean,
that's like he Mee Mee Mee Mee
he's setting it all up. That's not okay. Now,
and the President eating the retinas.
But the President literally three times in in the interview,
talks about a lone wolf. The President brings it unprompted.
He's talking about well, let's just listen to one answer just
Well, I want to hear the President say it Well, look,
look, look, look, look look
vigilant and constantly monitoring potential risks of
terrorist attacks. And I think that the men and women in our
intelligence agencies as well as the FBI have done a terrific job
and Department of Homeland Security. But the risk is always
there.
Excuse me department was the seals dude was the department of
homeland to back that up again. He said that he's like saying
department of home it was it was CIA in the seals. It wasn't do
well as you
would maybe it wasn't like it up
to try to do something to seek revenge for your your killing
Bin Laden, How worried should we be
by the way he killed him? Obama personally killed him by that,
how
worried? Are you about that?
Well, look, Louis are vigilant and constantly monitoring
potential risks of terrorist attacks. And I think that the
men and women in our intelligence agencies, as well
as the FBI have done a terrific job and department Homeland
Security, the risk is always there. And obviously, on an
seminal event, like the 10th anniversary at 911, that makes
us more concerned, it means we've got heightened awareness.
The biggest concern we have right now is not the launching
of a major terrorist operation, although that risk is always
there. The rest of that we're especially concerned of right
now is the lone wolf terrorist, somebody with a single weapon,
being able to carry out wide scale massacres of the sort that
we saw in Norway recently. Nice. Nice way to bring it all home.
By the way,
I got a prediction for the Red Book. Okay. A 911. Nothing,
nothing happens.
Of course, that's like this. That's an easy, that's a shoo
in. Of course, nothing's gonna happen. You don't get it down. I
don't get to put that in the book. That's not okay. That's
okay. So, but I just want to say one thing. So he's talking about
a lone wolf with a single weapon who could kill a lot of people
like in Oslo. Very unfortunate, of course. Try that in Texas.
Lone Wolf. That's what I want to see. I want to see a lone wolf,
try and kill a lot of people with a single weapon in Texas,
because that won't happen. Because after one shots fired
this, this lone wolf will get obliterated by an armed
population.
Yeah, the bigger dangers of stray bullets from the armed
population getting Yeah.
Well, that's not the point I was trying to make. But no, but it's
funny. That's not exactly what I wanted to say. But then, so how
crazy is this? So the print and this interview and you can
listen to the whole clip at 331 dot na shownotes.com. The
President mentions lone wolf three times. So he doesn't say
anything about ricin, because, of course, we know that that was
the US Cyber Command. Putting out false messages to the al
Qaeda operatives on their own websites, confusing the
boneheads at the New York Times who are selling a book. Please
keep that in mind. And then all of a sudden we get this report
from Tampa.
He didn't do it. He wrote it down in the manifesto. He also
had bought bomb making supplies. According to Tampa Police. He
had everything he needed to carry out a massacre at Freedom
High School in New Tampa, the first day of school.
Oh my goodness. So we have no yes, a lone wolf terrorist. He
had bomb making materials. He had a manifesto, which I think
is TV speak for Facebook. And what was this guy's name? John,
can you guess what his name was? Oh, I can't.
The teen suspect was expelled from Freedom High School in New
Tampa a year and a half ago, after Tampa Police arrested him
for carrying a concealed firearm. Police Chief Jane
Castor says Jared Kaino
Oh, Jared, wherever heard that name before. Beautiful.
Beautiful. No interviews with classmates. We haven't seen it
when no family bomb making materials. I don't mention that.
They don't have Drano and vinegar. But his name is Jared.
So that works because of course we had Jared Lochner. Who shot
allegedly shot Giffords. Like wow, really?
I guess Jared is a bad name.
It's it's not going to be on the top of the list of what to name
your kids. And then I'll finish off this whole Wolf Blitzer
interview. I watched the whole thing. He did talk about the
economy with the President and some other things but the lone
wolf thing was extremely disturbing to me. And then at
the end, Wolf does little throw away. Because I'm buddies with
the President. And a great example set yet again yet again
by the President of the United States reelected
the last time you're elected. You got Sasha and Malia a cute
little puppy. Oh, what are you gonna get him the next time? If
you're reelected,
when I'm reelected? What I'll be getting them is a continuation
of secret service so that when boys want to start dating them,
they're going to be surrounded by men with guns. Yeah, very
good. Somehow I
didn't know is he advocating that the best way the best
solution to all problems found familiar and other problems is
just to have people surrounded, surrounding your family with
guns. Yeah, so he's advocating guns and that what he's doing is
promoting guns. Yes. And prebendary drugs fine. I mean,
it's good. I mean, I think we're all for that right. Yeah. Guns
Very good. I'm surprised that got you know that these liberal
gun lobby nut balls or anti gun lobby nut balls are don't come
out of the woodwork with this with some commentary about that.
But have you heard anything?
Yeah, no, no, there was some talk about this is so funny.
President about our economy about a dump. This is one for
the prediction book, he can put the President now in our Little
Red Book. And by the way, for those of you who are new to the
program, we do have a little red book. John, could you tweet a
picture of that so people can see it?
Yeah, I can to tweet a picture of them.
And all our predictions are written down.
And we're gonna cover it says memjet Think fast. And it's a
red book. I was funny, because the first time buzzkill juniors
in Rome arises, oh, the book is actually read. What do you think
we're
making this up buzzkill Jr. So write this one down for the
President.
What I think the markets were reacting to is the fact that the
economy has not grown as quick as it needs to. There have been
a lot of headwinds, the European debt crisis, headwinds japan,
japan, just Japan, just not just Japan, Japan. And what else is
to blame I gas prices from the Arab Spring, that is such bull
crap, high pressure, high gas prices, because of the Arab
Spring, really, you're pulling that in now.
And what a lot of folks are worried about is that the
recovery that we have been on is stalling or not moving as
quickly as it needs to.
You think we're in danger of another recession?
I don't think we're in danger of another recession. But we are in
danger of not having a recovery that's fast enough to deal with
what is a genuine unemployment crisis for a whole lot of folks.
And that's why we need to be doing okay. The concern folks?
Alright, no double dip recession. No recession,
according to your president, right.
You know, I ran some on the blog, people can check it out. I
ran a you got chart from a company out of San Francisco, we
talked about once a while called Shadow stats. And these are
government statistics that are that are recalculated to what
they are in reality. And I saw this Yeah, I saw this. And the
unemployment rate is what bothered me about the last one,
besides the fact that there's a huge discrepancy between the U
three, the U six, which is the unemployment numbers. And what
shadow stats comes up with their numbers are used to be a fairly
reasonable margin between the three numbers. But now it's
separating big time. And the unemployment rates actually
increasing. Although the government numbers showing it's
slightly decreasing, and that concerns me a lot. But shadow
stats, you can look it up on the internet, Shadow stats.com. It's
a economist out of San Francisco, who does all these
makes all the heat shows you what, what's really going on.
It's very, very good as it
were actually 25% unemployment is what you're supposed to live
close to that. Yeah. So of course, we got to get all kinds
of crazy stuff out in the news, Reuters. I couldn't believe
Reuters actually did this. Well, actually, what am I saying? Of
course I could. They brought back a 2003 study from the
Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, which found that geomagnetic
storms of which we've had a lot recently, you know, I track this
affect the stock market, as traders are more likely to make
pessimistic choices, according to the study from the Federal
Reserve, but so they're saying, hey, the markets the craziness.
Oh, no, no, it's just geomagnetic storms.
You know, I'm I'm not completely away from this theory, because I
believe that this cycle theory, it has something to do with
people getting literally depressed. Yeah. If you're
depressed, you're not going to really be thinking positively.
unusually high levels of geomagnetic magnetic activity
have a negative statistically and economically significant
effect on the on the following week, stock returns for all US
stock market indices, the authors found in the report so
nothing to worry about. Once those are gone, everything will
go back up. Just give us your money gold, by the way. $1,820
Today,
yes. Is it time to time to get almost time to dump?
So everybody, you can listen to me, as you would have sold
around 1000 or listen to John that is or you would have held
on to it like me and you'll take those gold coins to your grave,
but there'll be a lot of money so
in other words, all the good it will do you wish You never sell
in the, in the ongoing anger fest between standards and
pours. I'm just sticking with the banksters for a moment. Now,
John, you had a great assertion we talked about what we
accurately predicted that the debt ceiling would be raised,
but that we would get downgraded. And you call this as
a fight between the administration predominantly
because of the Dodd Frank Act, which takes over the these
ratings agencies and subjected them to all kinds of government
regulations. So it's really a war and the CEO of standards and
pours find Indian gentleman who does not give a crap about
anything but his body's safety, safety. So guess what they've
done came out today. So of course, Standard and Poor's
downgraded the United States credit rating, and now the
Justice Department is investigating whether the
nation's largest credit ratings agency standards and pours
improperly rated dozens of mortgage securities in the years
leading up to the financial crisis. You can play it this
weekend play this we're not going to sit down and let you
just do that to us. outrage,
I would say that's better than him getting shot.
Hey, hey, yo, Indian man. All right. How about a little spot
of
the now back to
I think this This clip will go down in YouTube history for a
long time. You know, Anderson Cooper, Anderson Vanderbilt
Cooper, he has a segment called what is it? Now it's like he
always
talks about that with those girls are singing. No. Oh, good.
Now he has a segment segment every what it's called. And it's
about it's usually about jersey shore are some things called the
ridiculous ridiculous. They're ridiculous. They're ridiculous.
And, you know, we list a list. Yeah. When we laugh about a lot
of stupid inane humor on the show, so I'm not saying that
that's not okay. But I don't think we've actually had this
type of girlish giggling from Anderson Cooper himself. Their
news report comes out that geologica jus.
Whoa, hold on a second. You know, obviously, we watch the
ridiculous. Of course, I
don't watch you know, of course,
I guess what he does constantly is nothing but girlish giggle I
know. You haven't
heard this one. You have not heard this one. Because, of
course, there's nothing funnier than laughing about poop. Right?
We know that. That's what CNN is all about. Yeah, if you're 12
Yeah, exactly. So Anderson comes out when he obviously didn't. I
don't know if he wrote it himself or not. But So Jared
dupa Joe apparently was drunk on an airplane. He needed to go to
the bathroom. The stewardess said No, shut up slave. You
can't wear you know, we're on the active taxiway. And then I
guess he tried to pee in a bottle and he peed on the on the
it dripped. And so Anderson comes up with this ridiculous
which I had just clipped a little bit of it, but it's like
an eight minute segment and every single word is upon about
urine. And then of course he has to he has to go there has to
take it to the to the Pope. And this is your fine news
organization and the outstanding outstanding journalist Anderson
Cooper Vanderbilt,
there is a bright side. Stop laughing, distracting. Now that
we know he doesn't have any stage fright when it comes to
public urination. Maybe he can get together with his fellow
cast mates from love Vienna rose, and they can all have a
pissing contest, you know, like a payoff. Payoff because movie
was about the payoff. payoff. So after Gerard took his little
solo flight to urination, the plane had to turn around and go
back to the gate and some unlucky cleaning crew had to
deal with the Golden Globe winning tinkle now all I can say
is they should thank their lucky stars it wasn't that hard to
sorry. made me giggle every time I read it. He hasn't commented
on this incident
part two I know you got it but
do you believe this idiot unbelievable and keeps going on?
Actually never happened to me.
Harvey Korman working with Tim Conway, I mean, what is this?
That's what that is.
Oh, I want to I want to get a couple clips out of the way
before we take our break. Yeah, good. Good idea. And by the way,
we forgot to mention divorce.org/na During the first
Oh, I apologize my faux pa
vorak.org/and A.
We get like no donations when we forget.
Yeah, and by the way, we haven't gotten that many this week. So
you gotta be did very poorly. I think we forgot it
says Ron Paul. Ron Paul came in second in the straw poll and
probably won the thing because Michelle Bachman bought 6000
votes cash for $180,000 Tell me about that. I didn't know about
that. Oh, yeah. No, do you do to vote in a straw poll? Yeah, to
cough up 30 bucks to show you since
she so she bought the tickets.
6000 votes in 4500 people voted for it. So think about that. The
other 1500 took her money and voted for Ron Paul apparently.
And some people still think Ron Paul actually won the thing and
the numbers are big. It's a rigged it's bullcrap rigged, but
anyway, but do you would they do media has been avoiding and
we've talked about this on the show forever that they've
avoided talking about Ron Paul. So Jon Stewart defends him
fairly well in a fairly long segment that I clipped down
quite a bit called Ron Paul support and play that and then I
want to do the follow up, which is a disgusting CNN example. And
then the kicker we'll talk about after we finish these clips.
So now with plenty dropping out, Rick Perry dropping into
Michelle Bachman and Ron Paul dominating the Ames straw poll.
We got ourselves a race.
We have a top tier it is Mitt Romney, Rick Perry and Michelle
Bachman.
We have a new top tier and it's Perry, Mitt Romney. And Bachman.
There's now a top tier in this race password of Romney, Perry
and Bob.
I think that's fair to say.
really fair to say you're not forgetting I don't know anyone
say an ideologically consistent 12 term congressman who came
within less than 200 votes of winning a straw poll. Isn't
anyone gonna give that gentleman a little love?
There's a top tier now of Bachmann and Perry and Romney.
And you know, we haven't mentioned we should mention we
should Rick Santorum who did really surprisingly well for the
amount of money and resources he had.
Rick Santorum, he didn't get half of what Ron Paul got. He
lost to the guy who lost so bad he dropped out of Santorum.
We're looking at Mitt Romney who continues to be the front
runner, but we have Rick Perry as well. And now Michelle
Bachman. Let's not count out John Huntsman though.
John Huntsman got 69 votes. And by the way, this pretending Ron
Paul doesn't exist for some reason has been going on for
weeks. A new Gallup
survey showing Rick Perry running second to Mitt Romney
knocking down Iowa favorite Michelle Bachman to force
behind. force behind. How did libertarian Ron Paul become the
13th floor in a hotel? Why what's wrong with his tea party
patient? Zero all that small government grassroots business,
he planted that grass. These other folks, they're just moral
majorities in a tricorn hat. Ron Paul's the real deal. And Fox
News should love this guy.
Which I say is proof that Fox News is run by Democrats.
Yeah. Well, I there's no question about it. But here's
another thing that's interesting. Both the Hannity
and Rush Limbaugh poopoo Ron Paul, in all kinds of different
ways Rush's interesting, because he's very defensive about it. He
says that the problem was Ron Paul, is that he's going to make
the republican party look crazy. And then he says, then he makes
the assertion on the show on Monday, that Ron Paul has
nothing to do with the Tea Party. He kind of takes credit
for it, but it's not actually true that you know, which is
bullcrap he is the he is the one who started the Tea Party, but
we'll skip that. And let's go to this clip, which is the Ron Paul
support to clip which is, which is the kicker to the to the
Stewart bet, which I don't mind lifting broadly after he like
took our mature and didn't credit us. Let's say this is the
part to where the CNN guys, they literally on the air, so they
don't want to cover him.
Even when the media does remember Ron Paul, it's only to
reassure themselves how there's no need to remember Ron Paul
right now live right next to the bus behind us. Ron Paul was
speaking on seven of the candidates are here today. We
have live pictures of Ron Paul, but you know what we're talking
about Sarah Palin. We're talking about Rick Perry. The two people
not in the race yet Drew and guess what, Paul,
if you get video of Sarah Palin or get a soundbite from her,
bring that back to us. You can hold the run on Paul's stuff.
Guy Can I insert a quick little CNN clip where they had a woman
from Reason magazine on talking about this? Go?
I think Ron Paul is getting a tremendous amount of coverage
for someone who's never going to be president. He knows that the
press knows that everyone's behaving as if he's never going
to be president. That said, he's bringing some great, you know,
overlooked issues into the debate. I think there's a long,
proud tradition of fringy candidates mixing things up and
making it exciting. And I think Michelle Bachman is in that
tradition. I'm surprised that the debate isn't more about how
she's being over covered than that he's being under covered.
So again, I think he is someone who is out there to make a
point. And he's doing fantastically well think about
how he lines up against somebody like Gary Johnson, who holds
very similar views, some might argue a little bit more
coherently and yet has been not even included in the debates.
So, you know, if I were Ron Paul, it makes sense that he's
saying, Hey, look at me, I'm over here. But I don't think
it's unfair at all to simply say, the guy's not going to be
president. He doesn't have a plan for being president. He's
great. When he talks about principle. He's terrible when he
talks about politics and what he would actually do, if he made it
into the Oval Office. That's because he knows he's never
gonna get there. Well,
unbelievable. propaganda
has, what does that little thing he always Oh, yeah. The
constitution is his plan for being president.
You tour so so so Stuart does this bit on Monday, and it was
pretty funny. By Wednesday, all of a sudden, Stuart is not
mentioning Ron Paul at all. He's got that, that that guy who used
to be the head of the Republican Party, that black guy, what's
his name?
The guy who got caught paying for strippers? Is that right?
Yeah. Remember he was he expensed drinks at a strip club
in Los Angeles.
Oh, right. There was a party and yeah, it wasn't. Yeah, it was
overblown at bull crap. They just wanted to read anyway, they
didn't want a black guy running the thing. So anyway, he's on
the show. He's the ex head of the Republican National
Committee. He starts growing at the same memes about whether
it's three people and then he starts mentioning other people
that aren't involved. Not once through the entire interview. I
was watching it with buzzkill Jr. and we're our jaws dropped
because it was like, he net Roger Stewart never mentioned
Ron Paul again, here. He's got the guy you could ask him.
What's the deal with Ron Paul, it's all it has to do was do
with Ron Paul, how come they're marginalizing him? And again,
the guy can answer nothing.
I don't have this big weekend, Rick Perry. Everybody was all
excited to get him in there. They're already talking about
hey, what about Paul Ryan and Chris Christie? Let's get those
guys anyways.
Can we stop the noise on that already? I mean, the reality of
it is this field is set. And you've got to talk to you how
many times did you hear that term the last past week. But
you've got the three folks who are going to be leading the
charge. We've got, you know, Herman Cain, and Newt Gingrich,
who I think did himself really well, in the last debate, you
know, in terms of laying out some policy
is Newt Gingrich. So he's still running.
Yeah, he's still run. Yeah, believe it or not, I mean, you
still running. But I think you know, all of this conversation
by a lot of the establishment types, particularly in
Washington, establishment, Republican establishment
Republicans, whether you're talking Karl Rove, you're
talking the Wall Street Journal, these that noise out, because
what they're not satisfied, they're not satisfied and too
bad. Get over it. You know, the reality of it is these are the
folks who are going to be running. All those other
individuals are not going to get into the straight race at this
point, because they've got to get on the ballot and 50 states.
And that's a process that takes time they got to raise the
money, they got to put the organization in place and if
they haven't done it by now, particularly given with Perry,
Bachman and Romney are it's just not going to happen.
Just kill it. Yeah. So this is Michael Steele. Perry just got
in. Yeah, like, what, three days ago? Four days ago, Ron Paul has
been running for months. So it just he just screw all these
guys. Never once as he mentioned this, obviously, a memo came
down that Comedy Central which I believe is Viacom. Viacom, yes,
it is. And so it comes down saying hey, look, it was fine.
What you did on Monday, just drop it. John Stuart has
no backbone. There you go eat not only does he steal our bits,
which comedians do not do. But he's weak
But worse than that it's like it's really he's making money
doing this he can't
he is he is compromised is compromise
he has advertisers that probably don't like Ron Paul there's all
these things which is why we don't take j ever commercial
work for some city like you know, God, I'm sorry to no
agenda, don't we're not you know, this equals Um, oh, yeah,
that'd be fun. Yeah
The best laid plans anyway, that's absolutely right. This is
an you know, I was talking to my my aunt mag, who is one of the
most amazing people I know. And, and she actually takes me aside
from time to time when I'm here. And she says, you know, this is
really interesting what you're doing this, you're so right
about the future of news and not having being able to say
whatever you want to want to say not having advertisers having
the ability or having some group force your advertisers to pull
out which is even worse, which we've seen happen as well. And
she actually says that, she said she thinks that we might be the
future of news. Now I disagree because all we do is sit around
and watch C span but we're doing okay on that front and there is
good reporting out there. It's just it never makes it above the
fold. And the only way that happens is by not taking any
money from anyone except from the listeners who enjoy an
outstanding product. Obviously not quite that outstanding
because we did very,
very few donations this last week. Although it's the dog days
which is always the worst month I mean, oh I guess it's
horrible. But beside the point people are still listening I'm
sure someone will catch up eventually. But we do have some
people to thank for helping us out this show to Steven Taft in
Marietta Georgia for the 45th wedding anniversary amazing
married in 6645 years equals 111 We never thought about that
angle. Oh

associated Cathy couldn't make it. But she has secretly and I

about it. But she's secretly been an 1111 donor. And we
called her up and had a nice chat and she's been propagating
the formula. They're in the hospital getting all the hot
nurses to listen to the show. I think we need that's what we
need more of that. So Kathy, this is for you super karma.

outstanding pro excuse me, I'm supporting an outstanding
program that keeps me informed without treating me like an
advertising commodity these days that is hard to come by. I'd ask
for karma but I already got some I began listening to no agenda a
year ago as a considerable douchebag I was an overworked
stressed out college kid whose dream internship didn't get
funding. In the months following my introduction to no agenda. My
backup internship turned out to be the best experience possible.
I graduated with honors got a well paying techno expert job
and met an amazing girl my amazing girlfriend. I feel like
I've cheated you by getting good karma without donating my
apologies please send karma to our family for and friends Ricky

family listening to no agenda so they get another shout out
there. Of course, you've got karma and we appreciate that.

wow, I got one other weird foot story.
Oh noes foots for instance do different little different. Oh,
that's my cue. Glass Yeah.
And bizarre discovery in the bay by a Hayward man. Al Fraser says
that he was fishing your treasure island on Sunday when
he spotted something floating nearby. Turns out it was an
artificial leg complete with a sock and shoe. Fraser says that
he was going to toss it back but instead he's going to keep it in
hopes of finding the owner.
That doesn't count.
I don't think it does. But I just thought it was funny now
that you listed the summer the currents are changing. There
were some feet that are did wash up over the last week or so
though I was waiting document them
go well, as long as we got the artificial limb, that's good
enough. Yeah, it's what I'm thinking. So I have to say that
Russia today did a very interesting piece. And this
comes along with something else that I heard on. Whoo. I think
it was a national treasure, you know, we're driving a lot and
the strongest signal you can receive anywhere, is NPR. Of
course, it's
government signal.
There's really no getting around it. And they had a professor on
from WHO IS AT T. Square member, if you want to be taken
seriously in journalism, you got to pronounce it right. So it's
black and square, square. And he was in the midst of all the all
the tweeters, and all the Facebookers and everything going
on. Now. Let's recall that Andy Carvin, who is the What's it,
what is his title again, techno expert, no doubt. But he is
retweeting everything that he receives that he can't, of
course, it there's no way for him to vet
any of this. Nothing is vetted. It's all bull crap. And it
seeps right into the news stream, we have all the major
news outlets, including the compromised big three, four
networks, they all take whatever's on Twitter is fact.
And we know that the State Department of the United States
of America is training up to 5000. We know for sure, and
another what was it another couple 1000 in Belarus recently,
training people how to start revolutions on Twitter,
right, and how to actually write what essentially is a press
release so that our media can pick it up and run with it. Of
course, if
that happens here, or in the United States of Gitmo east,
then it's then we have to stop, shut down, shut it down, because
people have their constitutional right to safety. Flash Mob flash
mobs can't have any of that. Here's what the professor from
Egypt said about his experience as he was in the middle of the
riots, then people being shot at in tornio square, nothing would
have worked. He said,
that's absolutely true. And it's not just the muscle, but it's
actually the actual physical presence. So the nature of the
grievances that people had in the frontlines were very
different than what was being reported on Twitter at the exact
same time. And the phenomenon around Twitter where you have to
retweet things that your friends say, tends to create something
of an echo chamber, give me an example of what you just
described. I was actually in and around tax year, and there was
supposed to be a big protest in front of the Interior Ministry.
And some of the folks on the Twitterverse, I was seeing, were
claiming that there were hundreds of police security
directly, shooting even live rounds in the air at people.
While I was at this protest, I actually was watching where some
of the people were who I was following on Twitter, and I saw
them at the periphery of the protest. And then I went to the
front lines. And I was observing what was going on over there.
And I didn't observe any sort of live rounds, or anything being
fired into the ER other than rubber bullets and tear gas
canisters. So it's sort of a game of telephone. I think
people sort of observe or they hear something and they think
that that might be a phenomenon that they're reporting on, for
example, a live round. And then because of retweeting where
people sort of echo one another's thoughts, and they
want to spread it to their own audiences, right, that's
actually going to create the mass distortion of something
that was initially just a little bit off of reality, and the
interviewer
stopped. Now this guy's got to be thrown off the air
immediately. To give him any more airtime.
The interview stopped not long after that. Thank you very much,
Professor. I mean, really, this is an Andy Carvin. Hello, Andy.
Andy Carvin is the number one retweet this is all he does is
retweets. He
tweets for the State Department. Oh, I'm sure for PBS Yes, the
NPR,
NPR and then along the same lines and this actually it was
it's a good summation piece that's kind of good to play near
the end of the show here.
By the way, by the way, I want to warn people to stay tuned at
the end of the show I do have a clip that I want to play at the
end of the show is called the clip is called is this Rick
Perry? I believe I've caught Rick Perry in a in a different
kind of job it'll be just believe it's just think Rick
Perry knew in listen to this clip.
And is that something we need to discuss or is it just you know,
just play it Okay, good. So of course we already pulled all of
this phony baloney all this fake Twitter you know, the the State
Department the US Cyber Command which by the way uncle Don's
like we have that was pretty funny. Like really? Well, what
do you need with all that? That it's all this just phony and
they picked up finally now that it's the 18th of August they
pick up on the The Internet in a suitcase, which is a fine
program that is being sponsored by the State Department. Of
course, the entire idea is that we set up a network that is run
by the State Department, and that we can basically follow you
along the way as we give you our version of the internet. I
thought it was a nice piece that Russia Today put together. Once
again, though, unfortunately, they have not visited the
website curry Devora consulting.com as they do not
have the proper introduction, or the proper host and the the
right casting to bring this news to you
part of what Secretary Clinton calls a venture capitalist
approach to addressing the wide range of challenges to democracy
and human rights activists face in internet repressive
environments around the world.
centralized servers like this one can easily be cut by
governments with the internet and a suitcase is designed to
give dissidents a mobile web with mesh technology that runs
through cell phones and other devices making it harder to cut.
The founder of his own clearing house of confidential documents,
John Young worries that American suitcase servers will serve
another purpose.
The suitcase is meant to give the illusion that you can run
these electronic devices without going through national systems.
And that may be true but they will they will not be outside
the US system.
Yang says the suitcase is just part of so called liberation
technology that has its advantages for the US
the price that you get for being empowered is that the United
States gets to watch what you're doing and probably influence
what you're doing.
And it isn't just government. According to the hackers

really more bizarre and dangerous capabilities that have

this software would allow the US military to push their agenda by
flooding social media forums already influenced by so called
witness bloggers, international outrage at the kidnapping of a
self declared lesbian blogger in Syria had real policy
implications until I mean it turned out to be this American
man and I feel really guilty about. Others say there's a
contradiction between support for internet freedom abroad and
subpoenas of alleged WikiLeaks collaborators at home, including
Private Bradley Manning. Posner says the suitcase is just part
of a larger internet freedom agenda,
don't shoot the Instant Messenger, instead address the
underlying grievances.
But these platforms appear less welcome when activists take to
the streets at home and release a surveillance video that's in
San Francisco police cut cellphone services on the metro
during protests,
leaves the local San Francisco city government open to charges
of hypocrisy. I mean, you can imagine the Egyptian government
saying well how the United States doesn't to
in following riots in London, there is talk of shutting down
social media,
we are working with the police, the intelligence services and
industry to look at whether it will be right to stop people
communicating via these websites and services. When we know they
are plotting violence disorder and criminality.
The US will spend $70 million on internet circumvention
technology in 2011 abroad, even as tough questions are made at
home.
So there's nothing we haven't been covering. But where's this
girl from machine to 12th?
Grade is horrible. She
can't even read
these guys don't get it. They don't understand. Now of course
this is Russia. This is
Russia bad report if G has somebody could actually deliver
it. Yeah.
And it's and by the way, they lifted everything from our show
from the past six months, but that's okay. You know, it's okay
when they catch up. But yeah, hey, guys, stop taking our
consulting for free or do us a favor, get some hot women on
that channel.
So I got an interesting clip, which is kind of it was just it
was done. There's a lot of good stuff from the Brookings
Institute and this was from the university I'd never heard of
this a national university for defense or something. Now and
everybody in the audience was it was a spook or Rand or some. And
some random guy came up and he was asking about how we're going
to get out of these damn wars. And when we're going to leave
Iraq by the way, didn't we do a show about six months ago when
we had the guys coming out driving those trucks out of my
rack and it was the Rachel Rachel Maddow was on him. Yeah,
yeah. Whoo. I thought we already left but no, apparently we're
still there fighting. So see Hillary now. tells us that we're
out for sure by the end of the year. But even though I tell
we're already out, and by the way, we might be invited back,
and if we're invited back in this ship drops his little bomb,
and they're like they always do on these little events where
they're talking to their fellows, that they've ever on
good authority that we're going to be asked back.
Oh, really? Oh, that's interesting of approach.
That's why I wanted to be very clear that the combat mission is
over. And our troops are leaving. And they are, you know,
in the process of, you know, literally packing up. And that
was what we agreed to. And I agree with you that that is very
much in America's interest to keep that commitment. But what
Leon is saying is also important. You know, if a
country comes to us, within what we would view as a normal
diplomatic relationship, and says, you know, my troops need
training, they're not yet what they need to be, I'm going to
need continuing help on collecting intelligence,
learning how to do it for counterterrorism purposes. I
think it would be irresponsible of us not to listen to what
they're requesting. And indeed, the Iraqis have not made a
formal request, but we have reason to believe that they are
certainly discussing it internally.
Oh, and where do we send the bill Hillary who pays for that
for that reasonable request? So Maddie, I saw
your giveaway. I see. Yeah, we're not really we're gonna
maybe leave it officially leave and we make a big announcement.
And Obama said we got it the troops out. And then they're
going to request because they haven't a good authority that
they're going to do this what good authority we don't know.
Now there was rigged. And there was so we're gonna go right back
into Iraq. We're gonna send a bunch of Blackwater guys in or
some it's just gonna keep costing us money.
And I saw this with Leon Panetta. They were both on the
on the stage. And she also said, Maybe I should have clipped out
she says, she trusts cars, I implicitly, yeah. Okay, great.
Guy, a guy with cab fetuses shaped into a hat. That's my guy
with a cape. I like the cape cape is a good touch.
I like the cape. I think I'm gonna start wearing a cape.
You know, and a cane, a cape and a cane that would look good on
you.
I think it would with a shiv and
the cane shears. I
mean, while we were doing the same thing, we I picked up a
Libyan update by a French commander, which makes zero
sense. But he apparently created the French commander running the
NATO operation that Libyans they've lost already. And then
now, it's not a matter of days, not weeks, because it's just
like some of the demon try to understand this guy, I think is
a good moment of humor have
any more effective operational capability. It could certainly,
as I mentioned, French throw the dishes against the wall to make
a bit of noise. But we do not believe that it could generate a
significant operational effect.
The rebels themselves victory, continuing to take small towns
like this one along the road between their stronghold of
Benghazi and the Capitol.
That's working out great. Well, what was that again? How long
would it take? I can't remember what he said he was
pulling a clip
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. Okay, good.
When was that? How many months and months ago was that? That
was
March 21 2011. And March, April, May, June, July, August, five
months, it's still days. When it comes to days, good days, good
days. Good times, good days. And Afghanistan thing.
Oh, by the way, by the way, they're in this clip that they
show with a French commander talking guide that is kind of
like your French. He they show that one of these, these jabroni
is you know, on the back of a pickup truck with some anti
aircraft gun, and the guy's got his butt over the side and he's
trying he's firing his gun just aimlessly, they get whatever
weapons re they shoot and get into the show for the show.
Yeah, for the show. Boom,
boom. Hey, man. Hey, man should just shoot that. Hold on a
second. Hold on, hold on, hold on, get out of the shot. All
right. Yeah, go ahead. Yeah. Okay. Shoot. You get that? Yeah.
Great. D roll. Thanks, boss. We'll send that back to home
base.
It's about right, exactly what it is.
And then for those of you just getting by here at home, if
you're on food stamps, I'd like you to know that you can be very
proud that you are actually helping the US economy. This is
part of a stimulus program. I was unaware of this, but Tom
Vilsack who Of course, as you know, was a lead lawyer for our
friends over at. And he is now the guy in charge of the FDA.
The FDA is FDA know that what's agriculture? Department of
Agriculture? Yeah. It turns out Department of Agriculture runs
the food stamp program. I was unaware of this. But it is not
just a program, those of you on food stamps. And I know many of
you are listening to this program, because it's a free
program. Thank you very much for stimulating the American economy
question.
Mr. Secretary, good morning. Many people don't know that
actually, food stamps falls under the Department of
Agriculture. And a report was just released, that one in seven
Americans now are currently on food stamps, just getting by
strategies, what's what's being done right now and kind of being
done going forward, that you think is really addressing
poverty in the poor within the country and bringing some
alleviation to those kind of numbers?
Well, obviously, it's putting people to work, which is why
we're going to propose some interesting things during the
course of the forum this morning. Later this morning,
we're going to have a press conference with myself and
Secretary Mavis and Secretary Chu, to announce something
that's never happened in this country, which we think is
exciting in terms of job growth. But I should point out that when
you talk about the SNAP program or the food stamp program, you
have to recognize that it's also an economic stimulus, every
dollar of SNAP benefits generates $1.84 in the economy
in terms of economic activity. If you just crank it up more in
the grocery store, then someone's got to stock at
shelves and package it, process it, ship it, all of those are
jobs. It's the most direct stimulus you can get into the
economy during tough times. The reason why these numbers have
gone up is that we've done a pretty good job of working with
states that had done a poor job in the past and getting the word
out about this program states like California and Texas and
Florida underperformed. We're now working with them to make
sure that people who are eligible get the benefits and
therefore help stimulate their local economy.
Yay. Right on, you are part of the stimulus.
If that's true, I was just a news one day 1.8 to one I think
once you just throw every dollar into the into that program,
crank things way out.
He was talking about exciting announcements, so maybe it may
be he's gonna cry, he's gonna crank it up.
So what were we going to follow this exciting announcement, we
know it's going to be a piece of crap. It's going to either be I
mean, it is or going to be some source for the announcement. You
know what the website is? I mean, what are we going to do
here?
Let's look at just getting by.com Vilsack announcements set
for 8:30am Tuesday. So it'll be this coming Tuesday, I believe,
when he will be making this very exciting announcement. Now.
Okay, well
being on C span,
I'm sure the exciting announcement very exciting. I
think he says it's exciting. I can't wait I am totally excited
and maybe maybe we'll get on board by the way. Of course it
is JP Morgan who handles the food stamp program they're
excited. Yeah, we do.
We do wonders with our money I play the money wasted in
Afghanistan clip. I just removed it sorry about that. Here we go.
This is about our money, great.
Money honest on have wound up in the hands of the Taliban,
criminal and local power brokers siphoned off millions more. The
Associated Press reported today that a US Task Force estimates
all told some $360 million went astray. The report cites
profiteering bribery and extortion.
Awesome. Well, there you go. I can't wait to pay my quarterly
California taxes.
Yeah, that way I can go to the Taliban. Yeah. So in that
supporting terrorism, I don't know. I think somebody's got you
know, should be arrested.
Anyway, I'm gonna go in take my lumps. I'm sure there's a couple
of waiting for me.
Yeah. And well deserved. Showing off.
Those of you who have supported the program, thank you very
much. It is highly appreciated. It is the only way we can
continue to just get by and in the summer months, believe me,
we are just getting by.
And, you know, I also want to remind people that we have a
Rick Perry speech at the very end of the show here that you'll
all appreciate.
Yes. Rick Perry speech coming up. And we will be leaving
Armonk, New York for beautiful Hoboken, New Jersey tomorrow
with the hot pockets 2009 to 2008 tour. Sorry. Oops, I'm
already preparing for next year in Europe. Thank you very much
