Just Tylenol kill snakes
well and high doses it'll kill you. Adam curry, John C.
Dvorak. It's Sunday, October 3 2010. Time to get my nation
media assassination episode 240. This is no agenda, hiding from
the 15 Chinooks patrolling the hilltop Watchtower crackpot
command centre at Gitmo nation Western the People's Republic of
Southern California. Yay. In the morning, I'm Adam curry
and from the Pacific Northwest hideout, whereby the way we got
started at 901 I'm John C. Dvorak. Raglan Buzzkill.
You see, we've been married so long, John, that I expected you
to say? Are you ready? And I figured I'd surprise you by
being ready.
I kind of missed the fat woman singing?
No, no, no, you always say who cares? Is it five out of nine?
Let's get started. But if you want I can do exactly the way I
sound. Yes. Again, when you're married for as long as we've
been married, then you know you can actually emulate each other.
It's a beautiful thing. Well, in the morning to you, John, all
ships at sea and
human resources in the chat
room at no agenda. chat.net Hope you're all charged up our Human
Resource Officers are moderating, ready to spank you.
And it's a commemorative week. Oh, it is? Yes. It's the Rick
Sanchez commemorative.
I gotta tell you, that. This is great. So Rick Sanchez, for
those of you who do not know is a guy actually I bought his book
and I read about half of it that he was Hawking this can What is
it? Inconvenient sanity or some kind of
vignette in the sand. I gotta look up the name of this bonell
You are you people? Should I want to tell everyone? Please
donate to the show. divorce.org/n A because anybody
who's as dedicated as Adam, go out and read the Rick Sanchez
book deserves support. I wasn't gonna even think I did wasn't
even gonna look at it.
No, no. Well, the thing is, I got an iBooks. It's called, here
it is. Conventional idiocy, there you go. Conventional, etc.
And I start reading this book. I'm like, the guy really is a
dick. I mean, he's like, you know, well, what you do? I'm
just an anchor who reads the teleprompter. I will read your
tweets. And we really get into the shows. And it wasn't until I
listened to this 20 minute piece of audio, which of course, we're
not going to play any
of that. Oh, no, they have to play some because I clipped
together. Oh my god, hold on a second. Oh, my God. I took
pieces from the thing. And I clipped them together so
seamlessly. And I want to warn people that this is edited.
Oh, okay. Unlike, unlike mainstream news, well, before
I'm like mainstream before we play, let me just say so what
has happened here is the story is, and I have a different
theory, but the story is that he got fired because he was on
Sirius XM. All right, which no one listens to, except for the
Howard Stern Show on Sirius XM. And he apparently said,
According to the reports, Jews run the media. Yeah. That's what
he said. That's not what he said. But okay, so you've kind
of what he's you have three minutes and 55 seconds of this
douchebag.
It's, it's so seemly. You can you can play it and cut and play
it and cut. But I mean, you should just be these places
where we people know what we're talking about. Because the
douchebaggery is kind of high emphasis on and we
both have always felt this guy was just an unwatchable. In
fact, he's such an unwatchable. Douchebag that you have to watch
him. You just sit there, like God, and he's always talking
about, you know, when I was growing up, and my daddy knew,
he worked on the truck, and we had to drive 5000 miles and then
the woman that at the Richmond lady's house, she wouldn't let
me use the bathroom. I had to go outside and drink from the
creek.
People spit on his.
He's a he's a Cuban immigrant, I believe right?
Things Well, that's what he says. Yeah, he's, I never knew I
never thought I thought he just was a white guy who changed his
name to Sanchez.
What quite the opposite is true? Because apparently, at CNN, no,
it was at the ABC. No, at CNN. They feel that if you're if you
are if you're Hispanic, you should be a Hispanic news
reporter and not and not an anchor who doesn't read
teleprompter. If the
curious thing is that the guy who's his mentor brought him up
was fired the week before. And so they do now that
he was gone. I didn't know that. Who was that camp? Well,
let me tell you. It's kind of ironic because the guy's name is
Jonathan Klein.
He's Jewish. Can you just read turn down your turn down your
speaker. Just a little bit. I'm not allowed to play that one
anymore.
Hold on. Todd down your speakers. Okay. Just a little
just because it's grating. Yeah, but okay. So anyway, so this
guy, Jonathan Klein was his mentor in his, you know, his his
supporter. He was the go to guy
and also a Cuban immigrant. John
Klein was fired last week, the week before. And so now they're
thinking, what are we going to do about the Sanchez guy, we
gotta get rid of him. And so they're just waiting for
something running to screw up. He should have just laid low,
which he didn't do and then they got rid of him. That was the end
of it.
You know, and Mikey said when I because she hates the guy rxlist
you know, I watch rxlist every day like, I gotta watch rxlist
because I can't believe what's happening on television. And
that what is it? Yeah, we got fired for apparently saying the
Jews run the media said oh, actually gained some respect for
the guy now. Okay. All right.
So yeah, well get you fired if you're, you know, but the guy
Jeff Klein is Jewish. I mean, the whole thing is he didn't but
he didn't even say that. It's so ridiculous. You know why it says
Sanchez got fired because he sucked. That's why he got fired.
The guy just sucked. Love you baby. I agree. Suck the guys
suck him up.
never actually said it but he can't eat but he implied it to
such an extreme that it was a good excuse. And besides, that
wasn't the only thing he said he was just he was acting like a
jerk. He was why he sucks the guy just totally sucks up
limited. Play the clip.
I think to a certain extent Jon Stewart and Cole bear are the
same way. I think Jon Stewart's a bigot. I think he loves
suits me hold on and now we're gonna get into Josh
Yeah, I think he's I think he looks at the world through his
mom who was a school teacher and his dad who was a physicist or
something like that great. I'm so happy that he's
you have your vibrator on while you recorded this. Will you
know I have an unbalanced lineup here and creates a slight hum
turn down your bill no
grew up in a suburban middle class New Jersey home with
everything that you could ever imagine he bigoted towards
everybody else who's not like him Look, his show. I mean, what
does he surrounded himself? But listen, I think John's show is
essentially prejudicial. I think that
the word predigested prejudicial came up 18 times I can't even
pronounce it prejudicial. You just did well I have to work on
it prejudicial which means prejudiced it means bigoted.
Why don't you just say bigoted it's so much easier good but the
word he you know the other guy imply that the word you're
bigoted. If you look up the Deaf look up right now go look up on
Webster's dot com bigoted and read the definition.
Donna, you got me Hold on. All right. bigoted
loading bigot even.
No bigot it's got it's got results. Utterly intolerant of
any creed, belief or opinion that differs from one's own. Is
that it? Yeah,
that's all it is. Right? But now if you have an opinion, but it
doesn't have to be just your all your opinions. If you have one
opinion. As I was explaining to the kids last night, say you
don't like butter. You bigot I hate butter. Oh, I think butter
is good. No, no butter sucks. I think it's terrible. Terrible.
You're a foreigner be your butter. bigot butter big. So
what? It's there but a bigot. So big it is not really a bad word
is what you're saying? Words matter here on the no agenda.
I don't think it's a bad word. But I think it's used as a bad
word. But it always it would imply in this in this in the
popular context and implies some sort of racist thing. Because
he's old, a guy that Southern senators a bigot. There's an
assumption of racism and the word in the word use.
prejudicial is more like is pre judgmental. Who cares? I'm
against anybody who doesn't agree with his point of view,
which is very much a white liberal establishment point of
view. If you can't relate to a guy like me, he can't relate to
a guy whose dad worked all his life. He can't relate to
somebody who
Here he goes here he goes with his dad worked out. My dad
worked all his life to so that mine, gee, I can't relate.
Crazy. Well, Whoa. Careful with the word biggest.
I'll take the word bigot back I'll say prejudiced what I did.
Because big it's such a bad word. You're uninformed. Because
Mark Twain said that you don't really become a man. This child
planted a tree and written a book.
Did Mark Twain really say that?
I have not found it.
I look forward to I was, uh, I was pooping before the show. And
I was listening to this. And it Mark Twain said, you have to
have a child. What was it have a child? Write a book? Planetree?
Right. No, write a child, plant a tree. Write a book. I'm like,
Okay.
Anything about Sanchez here? He says. He says, so I wrote a
book.
Maybe I didn't Google it, right? I can't find it. I can't find
this.
Maybe somebody in the chat room, I can find this quote, from what
I believe he just made up. He made it
up to he just wants to equate himself to Mark Twain. Well,
I've read your book, inconvenient. Douchebag whatever
it's called conventional idiocy. That's exactly what it is. And
you know, Mark Twain.
And that stuck with me a long, long time ago. And I've always
wanted to write a book and because I'm not me, because you
know, you can sell it. Your TV show. Wait, let me get back to
the Jon Stewart thing. You're ready.
Oh, you said he did. This is the thing that fascinates me the
most about this. No reason I want to play this clip is that
he brought out his he had his two or three slams of John
Stewart and this and the interviewer was going to take
him down some other path. And then we're going to keep keep
talking about mostly about, you know, his background or
whatever. And this guy latches on and insists on going back to
the topic so he can Slam Stewart more continue to get himself
into a heap of trouble. He basically got himself fired at
that at this very moment.
Your anger, your concerns and frustrations is what inspired me
to write this book. From you. I hear what is really on the minds
of ordinary Americans. What's you're thinking, what you're
talking about, and above all, what you're sick of from the
bankers who recklessly gambled with our money to the
politicians who play on our worst fears and prejudices, to
the media demagogues who spread ignorance for ratings. Enough,
here's my way I'm not done. Rick Sanchez here called John sort of
big it's going viral. Okay, it's not big and it's used you
prejudicial,
but prejudicial. Here's the other point about that. Now,
what the hell was I gonna say? I was gonna talk. Okay. Do you
want to go back to John's? I have a lot. I have a lot to say.
And unfortunately,
it's all uninteresting.
I so I have Yeah, so Eric came up with the with he thinks his
HL or he says it's HL Mencken who made that quote,
Eric also want you to unplug your phone. Hey, I sent the bad
signal to the phone is unplugged. Anybody received the
bad signal? The bad signal one out for some reason.
Send it again.
I'm gonna try to get and I can't listen to this guy anymore. Can
we just
come out? It gets better than this almost.
I've already heard it this morning.
My life experiences because of what I've done in my life.
Because of the way I've grown up because of my failures because
of my successes. I am
the American hero. I am the American Dream dammit of that.
And when you turn on a show, or listen to someone's writings,
and they minimum listen when
we're writing on audible.com He's a shill for Audible
and treat you like you don't matter like you're just a piece
of that. You're just a dumb like you're a dumb jock or a dumb
woman or a dumb Puerto Rican I love
this. He goes from dumb jock which is not anything you know,
that's just someone who does sports to a dumb woman. And then
all of a sudden you're wetback. It's like he took that really
far.
I'm Cuban or another dumb Mexican, which
he says a woman another dumb Mexican as though this bunches
of them
are a dumb Puerto Rican or a dumb Cuban or another dumb
Mexican. Which is the way I feel whenever I watched Jon Stewart.
I can't help but say and then you just asked me why I wrote
this book. I wrote this book because I want people to know
that I don't just sit there and read the teleprompter. I am a
complex you
see this is why he got fired because that's your job. Your
job is to sit there and read the teleprompter on CNN. This is why
you got Ken that nothing to do with with anything about this
interview is because you suck and you
by the way the streams the streams dead no
it's not dead it's twitching he didn't say it's dead it's
twitchy okay go ahead and just it's a loose wire somewhere
support the show
when being I'm not some some moron to be being so sensitive.
Why you Why do you retire he's here
but he's I'm tired I'm being bullied he should have put the
pull out the bully card on this one I fell Yeah, you should have
bought the bully card entertainer but but but he
wouldn't
do on me if I did. Every he wouldn't pick
up if I went five was just the Hispanic guy who read the news
at CNN and paid attention and just read the teleprompter
everyday very carefully and never said anything, never had a
personality, then I'd be fine. He wouldn't he wouldn't pick on
me and very few of us will say the things that I've just said,
are actually more complex than they think we are. And we get a
minority as much as you are. He's come on, how was he? See?
Yeah, it's very powerless people. Such a minority. I mean,
you know, please, what are you kidding? He's, he's, you're
telling me that. I'm telling you that everybody who runs CNN is a
lot like Stuart and God are people who run Oh, okay.
There you go. So that's how people come up with the he said,
Jews run CNN. Yeah, yes.
All the other networks are a lot like Stuart. And to imply that
somehow they people in this country who are Jewish or an
oppressed minority, yeah, they have a history of oppression
now, no question about that. Rick, I gotta go because I gotta
take
okay. He did kind of say it there. But that's not why he got
fired. He got fired because he sucks.
No, they were Wait, no, let's face it. Once his mentor left.
He was fair game, because this happens. And this happens in
magazines that have
happens all the time that just waiting for a reason to fight
with me at MTV was my hair. And finally, they just decided if
you don't cut your hair, you're fired. And we're fine. Fire me.
Seven times that happened. There you
go. But the point is in all broadcasting all media,
newspapers, magazines, and TV, your radio, when when the guy
who who support you brought you in your want your his guy when
he's gone? Yeah, the likelihood of us sticking around is zero.
All right. All right. Well, and that's why. And of course, CNN
is a commercial entity. And that's why I'm so happy. We have
struck upon a completely different way of doing business
here. Because we don't have the only person who could affect the
show by by being gone as you or me. No one else. There's no Uber
lords. If nothing else,
nothing maybe Paul couture. Oh, yeah. Paul couture left
that. Dead. Already dead. Yeah, that's true. Because he does
check in today, doesn't he? He's,
we have to be careful. Yeah, that's true. It'd be lording it
over.
Yeah, we need some more Polka tours, because we're in a very
precarious situation here with only one guy basically
supporting the show entirely.
So we call him a patron. So pocket tours that we do have one
executive producer and 123. associates the this week and the
executive producer, again, is Paul couture. Who's Paul? Sir
Paul, I'm sorry, Sir Paul, who is working on and we got it, by
the way, we have a mailing going out and we and or people can
email us. If you're a night expecting your ring, we need
your ring size.
Now how does one size your finger?
Well, you're gonna need that to go to a jeweller and haven't and
stick your finger in a hole. And it's a ring sizing hole. Yeah,
they usually have this, this little, there's like a stick
with a whole bunch of rings on it. And you put your finger on
the end of the various rings until you find your size. And we
need your size. And the problem we're going to have here is is
the following. Because I can already tell you based on the
fact that people don't answer their email. We have about 100
Nights right now. And each one of them will we'll send them a
mailing we're going to make this announcement and we're going to
do it again on the Thursday show. About a third of them will
not reply under any circumstances maybe by a direct
mail, right? You're gonna get a size seven ring if you don't say
anything, I believe I think that's the most common size. I
could be wrong, whatever the average size is what you're
going to get, but we would like your ring size and then we can
get these rings made because they have to be size and they're
gonna you know, you can have them size I think within one
size the jeweller can stretch a ring, or shrink it within a
sigh. Well, no, he
can't because this is Rearden steel. It's not weird. sizable.
Was Rearden
steel, yes, it would be a problem. So anyway, so we need
your ring sizes. And so be on the lookout for an email or send
us an email de bourgh.org. John at the word.org and I'll put our
Adam medio.com It's adam@curry.com adam@curry.com.
And how was that curry doing by the way? For 2420 is what Paul
came up with this show and he's the executive producer, Scott
singer from power walking. Wisconsin is the Associate
Producer with the tune of $50 He says this is just for the
invaluable Adam curry John Dvorak. Sucking noise Oh this is
particularly correct John's pronunciation of Waukesha,
Wisconsin locals pronounce it Wah cash ah, no II as in P.
Those pronounce will Kesha many Wisconsin cities and towns are
named after Native American sayings or tribes. I would
assume if you can pronounce Pewaukee correctly. I'll give
you a bonus donation. Remember mill Milwaukee? Is Algonquin for
the good land I'm sure you've seen Wayne's World Wayne's World
so pojoaque is the way I think it's pronounced alright. Sander
and you can pronounce his last name that's
actually Sunday our Carrick sounds care sounder our sounder
our care sounder sounder just just don't don't mess with just
say sounder. I started saying sounder no not sounder, sounder
sounder our characters our characters are that Odin that
whatever whatever is
in Amsterdam good man.
Yes, a Adam and Johnny is my first step towards knighthood
digging your show big time and joining Adams Adam in the cruise
visit to Amsterdam crowded to the Amsterdam crowd recently
there's the no agenda the Dutch no agenda meeting want to say a
special hello and love to all great Pakistani people that we
met in our travels through Pakistan especially in the
little small here cara cara cara cara mountain range bordering on
China for their hospitality in front of this which is
heartwarming. They had they have links to al Qaeda there. How is
it possible? I felt that was possible I felt that will be
worth
according to our State Department Oh irrespective
of differences in religious beliefs, if any, I hope for the
Pakistani people the world does help out in the tragedy caused
by the recent floods and earthquake machine. Otherwise,
you did enlighten me up on topics like vaccines government
bailout, wealth transfer and the subliminal hypnotic functioning
of some TV shows. Keep it up. Greetings from Amsterdam
sounder, our Carrick Zigg management which stands for Zion
in hoodlums. Piazza PS Adam next time you're here, can we
organise the donation raising discussion dinner if you're up
for it? You know, I want to do that. But only if John's there I
really didn't feel good at the meeting without without having
John that. You know, John, I'm going to it seems like some
portions of Gitmo nation are not receiving the stream. And other
parts are,
it's probably because of the streaming mechanism. or parts of
the net might be down.
It's really weird. I don't know what to do here.
Yeah, there's nothing you can do and only half with half the
people are getting in there. Their half aren't.
I don't know what to do.
Well, I know what we can do. We can imagine Jared forester, who
is from Regina rhymes with Saskatchewan, Canada. 211,
doesn't he? I guess he was at the Dutch no agenda meeting
there all the way from Regina. That's right.
I met him. He flew in specifically for the meeting.
From really? Yeah, that's a
dedicated guy. Yeah, there's any excuse to go to Holland.
I think the Stuxnet is finally hit our streaming server.
That's, that's what it is.
Like could be anyway want to thank all these producers and
Associates?
Yes. So the show Yes, executive producer Sir Paul couture,
Associate Executive producer Scott singer songwriter, our
Carrick and Jared forester. All of you can put this on your
resume. Paul Couture's RESUME is now five pages long, Sir Paul.
But of course some of the other Associate Executive Producers no
stranger to the credits, they are real credits that's why we
do them because you actually paid for the show so you're
supporting it so put that on your resume in your email
signature and on your IMDB profile everybody else out
there? God propagate our farming it is very simple.
Our formula is this we go out for hit people in the mouth
all right. Say loud and proud with me now. Shut up what's the
name of our streaming host again after logging in, I gotta kick
the server. What is it called again?
Dogen de stream.com No, no,
no, the host No, no,
You never told me I'm completely unaware of the host name.
Boy oh boy. I'm just I'm just drawing a total blank on it. Oh,
that's sucks.
You shouldn't have a written down.
Well, normally I know it by heart but it's like you get it.
Don't you have a what do you been using? Well, no, but I have
a the place where I log in to manage it is a different place
from the from the streaming provider I'm just totally blank
and chat room knows what it is. That's really dumb. I'm sorry.
If I don't remember the name of our streaming provider I could
log in
that just says it just like one of those like, forgetting your
password because you never have to remember it because it's been
working so well. Automatically.
Oh, Prim cast. There it is. I got it. Hold on. Prem cast the
name of it. Prim cast PR. I am Prem PRIMC. A s t.com.
My guess is they're having a problem at the at the site.
Oh, maybe. Let me see. Let me just sign in.
Oh, boy, while you're while you're doing all that, I'm going
to talk about something.
Well, you know what? I'm not going to know. i There's only
there's really one thing we need to talk about, because just as
this show was going live all of the what is it the predictions
from the media as if they didn't know they just had an embargo on
when they could actually send it out? Kane, true, the United
States State Department has issued a warning, a terrorist
alert warning to all Americans in Europe. Be vigilant, be very,
very vigilant, because there could be a Mumbai style attack.
Now I have some thoughts
about this. at the Ritz Carlton.
I have some thoughts about this. So the State Department issued
this and it came to me this morning, really suddenly, the
State Department issued a warning, you have to be
vigilant. Get more nations as the United Kingdom subsequently
raises their terror threat level. But the message is, there
could be a moon by style attack. Now I'm thinking to myself, why
do they say that? Why do they not say there could be an attack
just like July 7 in London? Or like the Madrid train bombing?
No, they don't say that. They say there could be a Mumbai
style attack. And then it hit me Of course, it's to call out
Pakistan. So again, it's a whole move to to link Pakistan to al
Qaeda. Because you know, even though of course, it was CIA
operatives, a complete black flag, false flag operation that
took place in Mumbai. We know how the CIA works with the ISI.
There, they're just just another chunk in the armour there to do
something nasty to Pakistan, a chunk
in the armour, a chink in the armour, ching, ching chunk,
whatever. Well, that we've had been talking about this, because
it's not hard to figure out that the Pakistanis are a target. We
have. There's a couple of things going on. I have actually one
clip, kind of I didn't get what I really wanted from this clip,
because I couldn't find it. But the head of the I guess he's
armed forces. Levin, the guy who's gave a big talk in front
of the war on C span. And he talked about, you know, what
we're going to do about getting out of Afghanistan, and without
too much mention of Pakistan. But he did bring up a, I've been
following the tweets of the ambassador, I've just all of a
sudden now follow the tweets of the ambassador from from
Pakistan to the US, and he's bitching and moaning constantly.
And who was there one of his work clip are we playing? Well,
I think let me i Unfortunately, got the spreadsheet open. Let me
see what the clips look like.
Well, let's play that 11 clip, which is the clip where he did
senators talking about how we're gonna get out of or not get out
of Afghanistan.
General Petraeus is referred to July 2011. is the date when
reductions are scheduled to begin or that lack certainty is
said that his agreement with the date quote was based on
projections of conditions in July 2011, suggested that those
projections might be faulty General Petraeus his comments
last month, raising the possibility that he may
recommend against any reductions next July that front page deeds
story coverage in the New York Times general Conway, the
outgoing marine Commandant has said that quote, It will be a
few years for the Marines can hand over any territory to the
Afghan and Woodward quotes General Petraeus has telling
Lieutenant General don't lose at the White House quote, all we
have to do is begin to show progress and that will be
sufficient to add time to the clock and we will get what we
need. Now, it's true that some of these statements are in part
attempts to reassure leaders in the region, that the United
States will not abandon Afghanistan starting next July.
And it's perfectly natural and understandable for military
commanders to seek maximum flexibility in carrying out
orders, and to voice their well known reluctance to have firm
deadlines. But these comments, also insert ambiguity into what
was designed by the president as an unambiguous signal to the
Afghans that they must move urgently. I have tried
everywhere I could to build resistance to the pressure to
turn a date certain into a goal or something based on conditions
rather than what it is.
Okay, now, so here's the date. This was in front of the Council
on Foreign Relations, by the way,
and what did you record this with your telephone?
So that one had the same buzz on it, but I filtered the bus
shelter with a notch filter. So you end up with that? Good job?
Yeah. Yeah, I'm an expert. Yeah. So anyway, so he's a, he's the
head of the Armed Services Committee. He is He is on the
side of actually getting out. But this, but he's pointing out
in this little speech, he's giving that they're sending
mixed messages because the, because a lot of people don't
want to get into one thing he left out is the fact that Gates
said we'll never leave. Which we, I think discussed last week.
A couple a couple shows ago. Yeah, yeah, we're never gonna
and so the situation is, that seems to me and you can go on
with when you finish what you were doing, but I just want to
throw this at my kind of take on what's what's kind of happening.
We already talked about Pakistan being somehow you know, a
target. I'm seeing I'm still seeing the battle between
staying on behalf of the CIA to permanently established the drug
routes, which we have talked about, or getting the hell out
of there and letting the CIA you know, either stay on their own,
you know, without our people there to help them or whatever.
I'm not sure but there seems to be a divide here that is kind of
they're beating around the bush about it, but he 11 kind of
hints about it about you know, one side wants to get out one
side wants to stay but he doesn't really you know, make it
as clear as but as as he
sounds to me like it's contract renegotiation time for a lot of
these guys. And for the companies that are there and all
the contractors it seems like when when was this recorded?
This was recorded this last week? Because you know, they
just passed that bill which was done kind of in the middle of
the night where they all agree to continue to run the
government even though we have no budget Yeah, so I this it
sounds like it's a money thing. Like everyone's like, well, you
know, we should get out otherwise, you know, dude,
you're not gonna pay my bills were gonna get out. Curiously, I
it's it has nothing to do with terrorism. Let's let's be fair
about that. Way anyway,
I'm not going to disagree with that. But so what are you seeing
here? So here's what I'm seeing for the slaves out there. First
of all, been another bin Laden tape. No, Link, no recording.
No, nothing.
Oh, my. I thought it was two tapes.
Three No, it was 333 tapes. So now we have the it's now
available on audible.com. But seriously, you cannot every
single every single report about it does not actually contain a
link to where this was found. Or any any recording. You never
hear you watch television. I'm like, Okay, why don't you just
play me a little clip they play a clip of everything else. No
matter what language it is now. Now we can we can't receive
this. Apparently, New York Times the true Ministry of Truth.
Writes Bin Laden resurfaces in recordings. And he says quote,
We are in need of a big change in the method of relief work
because the number of victims is great due to climate change in
modern times. So clearly, he's on Gore's payroll. I'm
very sceptical about the disgusting change ah.
Anyway, here's the here's the alert and they actually take
this to a whole new level and now they're bringing Afghanistan
back in so maybe we can connect the all these house resolutions
which basically yeah, we can we continue Yeah, we're gonna
continue we got two budgets okay. We continue after the
election we'll take care of that don't worry we do the money will
be okay. We're good for we the United States. Anthony Wiener,
by the way, presiding over these. That was his turn at the
at the gavel. But now of course we're going to link these Mumbai
style attacks to the Afghanistan
war. What do you know about this heightened concern about
possible terrorist threats? Where is this coming from?
Well, it's not clear exactly where it's coming from. But what
we do know is that a young Afghan German named Akhmad
Siddiqui, who attended this mosque here, Afghan German I
made it's not enclosed by German federal authorities is in us
captivity in Kabul. He was captured in the summer. And he's
been telling his us captors about the possibility of a
Mumbai style attack in various European cities. So it's
possibly this could be the linkage we've taught to
counterterrorism sources here in this city love
how they do this. We've taught you just for people who listen
to the show. This is this is the stuff that we need to point out.
When a reporter on CNN says we talked to security officials,
anti terrorism officials, but they don't mention them by name
is because it's bullshit. It's they got issued talking points,
a press release whatever you never ever hear we spoke to this
guy, his name is his rank is and this is where he's responsible
for No, no, because we're in Afghanistan. And we've got our
sources over there. This is this is how bullshit works. Second,
take it look further explanatory manner. First of all, journalist
covering stuff something like this would normally hide the
source if it was like some sort of, you know, thing that would
get the person in trouble. But the fact of the matter is, how
would this get anybody in trouble if you cited them?
Unless it was total bullshit, right? Yeah,
exactly. we digress
counterterrorism sources here in this city. And they say that as
far as they know, Siddiqui is telling his American characters,
what they say is new information every day every day and is
providing you information. They think it could be because he
wants to try and be released into German custody that he
wants to come back home. But for what they understand they say as
far as they know, there is no imminent threat here in Germany
at this particular time.
How concerned should people be about this information about
possible threats coming out? And and what should they be doing?
Okay, here's the message. Be afraid you slaves?
Well, we talked to Achmed CDkeys family today it was in
particular, and they say the only information they're
learning about him is through the media and that they're
shocked about it. But what she did say was that, that when they
talked to him in the summer, shortly before he was captured
in early summer, he said he was looking forward to coming home
that he was coming home soon. Now, authorities may well be
concerned about some of the other men that travelled from
this mosque to go to Pakistan.
Anyway. So if you look at the news, now we also have in
Germany, in the Netherlands, in the United Kingdom, they're all
talking about homegrown terrorism. This is a coordinated
effort to keep you the slave. Afraid, nothing has to happen.
They don't have to do a single thing, except all of this Mumbo
mumbo jumbo and bring up conjure up images of armed gunman
shooting up the Ritz in a Mumbai style attack.
Right and don't forget the moon by style attack includes going
room to room saying are you an American?
Yeah, that's right. Good point. Yeah, good point. Very good
point. I forgotten about that one. So it's just like, Wow,
man, I just can't believe they don't have to actually do
anything. They just have to say it. You know, it's not actually
a travel advisory. It's just a stern warning. And Gitmo nation
East immediately warned their British subjects about
travelling to France and Germany. And I think that's
there's been a problem with with those three for a number of
years. I mean,
one of the things going on, which is maybe maybe a parallel
thing, I'm not sure it has anything to do with with this
overall scheme, just to scare people there. But I think it
relates to the trains good planes bad, really, which is the
fact is there's all this anti travel do not go anywhere.
message that underlies all this. Because I don't I think that
they did, like the messaging is not complete enough on a
worldwide basis that, you know, because people will go to Europe
and they'll come back, you know, like you go to Holland and it's
like a different whole different world. The news is different.
The stories are different. The messaging is
different. So it's like, Please don't go there and don't get
educated. Yeah, don't
learn anything stay home.
Yeah, just funny because Mickey said that she said, you know, it
sounds like they just want to keep the American slaves in
Gitmo. I said yeah, that's that's actually that's a that's
a pretty decent theory there. Don't learn anything bad
of course makes it impossible. No. Boat. Planes bad ban.
Might as well play the jingle while we're at it, right?
Yeah, it's a beauty
cow. Yeah, no, I think there's there's definitely something to
be said for that. But it's all mind control. Regardless, it's
it's just total mind control, the scoring. It's the war psyops
I guess is what they call it.
Okay, so I want to talk to you get off just a little bit. Okay.
And talk about something that's going on. Is this showing up on
Netflix as a featured movie? And it says it's I've watched it
again recently, and I'm just shaking my head. I don't I've
seen this movie two or three times. But ever since. For the
light. I haven't seen it for the last maybe decade. And I watched
it and it is.
Is this the movie? You made me watch? Yeah. Oh my god. That was
pretty rough, man. What is it?
Sardos Zardoz.
With the Sean Connery. Yeah, it's Sean Connery with a sock in
his crotch. I the first half hour that movie I'm like, oh my
god, this is such a big cheeseball but it is what it is
kind of the elites versus the slaves. That's kind of the whole
the whole story there.
Yeah. And and of course the it's got a blood bath in it. It's got
which I forgot all about is the good one. A blood bath. It's got
psychedelic. It's absolutely convinced. I don't remember that
era, for good obvious reasons. But the I think on LSD, the
movie would be much more enjoyable. Obviously an LSD
movie, it's got a lot
of cotton naked chicks. Lot of tits. Yeah, lots of Bush pigs.
fed the whole movies. Yeah, it's nothing but and not not fake
ones that are real.
It was the end of the Depression came out in 1979. And it was,
this is before Reagan got in office. And this was the Carter
years and this is when the hostage crisis was going on. And
this is when everyone was stoned on either some psychedelic or
cocaine was beginning to be popular. It was a it was the end
of an era movie. Of the crazy movies from the 1970s there was
a lot of a may have begun with EZ rider and ended with Zardoz
whatever the case, it is a it's featured on Netflix.
It's timeless classic, I tell you, it's a total
piece of crap that is compelling. But it's just
amazing. Anyway, yeah, the movie that's our movie pick for the
for that will
be John C Dvorak X movie pick. I however, remain with the
zombies. I actually am speaking of such I forgot two things
under the PR heading for today. Nick says we need a no agenda
drink. And he proposes the two shots to the head you can ask
for it in your local pub. Here's how you make it. Pour a beer
with good head like Guinness, use a large spoon to remove the
head from the beer. Place it in the glass. Add two shots of
world power vodka consumed using left hand only. I think that's
kind of nice the end a suicide drink. And then section eight
from Gitmo nation Middle Earth aka New Zealand says I play an
online game called Zombie Slayer. I've changed my name to
no agenda show.com and founded team no agenda militia. Part of
the game involves punching other players doing my bit by hitting
people in the mouth on a daily basis, admittedly a modest
effort as far as PR goes, but hopefully an idea that can
spread to other games. And I totally agree with that. The
Ministry of truth@whitehouse.gov has a new feature, John, a brand
new feature. It's a it's a new, a new segment. You know there
they are their own little news network there. They've got the
West house with the West Wing Week. And of course, you've got
the President's YouTube speech of the week. And now we have
what's that? The new guy who came in the Goolsbee?
Yeah, Jon Jon Gruden now Goolsbee. Oh, yeah, I'm sorry
Goolsbee.
Goldsby Yeah, he came in as the he's we replaced Christy Romer,
who, who lied to us about no more than a percent white woman
you hate with a passion. So Goolsbee also has no no real
experience in running an actual company. However, he is now
drawing on the White House whiteboard. Yes, with big red
circles which chips are evil for what the Republicans are doing,
and little blue circles which are good for what Obama is
doing. Notice, by the way, it's Obama is going to well, you'll
hear it in the clip. Obama is good. Republicans bad. He's not
saying Democrats, Republican Obama wants to do good for you.
Republicans want to do bad for you. Here he is at the
whiteboard. And of course you can see the actual video at no
agenda show.com and the show no may have been following
we've got a big back and forth going about the tax cuts you may
have been following. But I wanted to do today is just break
it down real simple. So for all you stupid
slaves, stupid idiot slaves, we're going to put it on the
whiteboard, because you're too dumb to understand it
can understand exactly what the debate is about President George
Bush passed tax cuts that will expire at the end of this year.
And what I've done here is we got a ruler and measured out the
size of the tax cut is how big the circle is, by your income,
which is listed at the top from low incomes up to people make
more than a million dollars a year.
Isn't this amazing? Do you just hear what he's saying? Just hear
how he's talking to you, John?
Yeah, like I'm an idiot, stupid,
stupid, idiot. Slave,
Obama would preserve a couple of $1,000 a year tax cuts for
virtually all Americans. And even for people make a lot they
get to keep the tax cut on the first $250,000 of their income.
Under the Republican plan. However, people making more than
a million dollars a year, you're going to be getting a tax cut of
more than $100,000
a million dollars a year 1000 Is the when you don't watch it, and
you listen to it and use how he's really punctuating this
because of course, we're all kindergarteners. And we have to
understand how crazy this is. If you have a million dollars, you
get $100,000 tax cut.
That's expensive. Given these big red eggs to the very high
income people would call $700 billion,
giving these big, big red eggs.
dollars that we would have to borrow to give it if you ask
objective economists and analysts around
who by the way, we will not mention because there are none
in the country
about what is effective, you will find that everyone agrees
that these
everybody agrees everybody knows it.
Very high income people are the least effective thing that we
can do to get the economy growing. And so what's happening
in Congress is that the people that want this are saying nobody
here can get any of these tax cuts, unless we agree to give
this big red goose egg.
Tom and Dick want to split up goose eggs. This one is the big
red bad goose egg. You don't want to eat that one people
making
more than a million dollars a year. It doesn't make any sense.
It cost too much money. And then we know it doesn't work. That's
right. Well, sciences and
how do we know it doesn't work? Or
works or whatever? Because everyone agrees? Oh, everyone
does it? Wait a minute, Adam, can you? Is it everyone who?
Everyone agrees?
Okay, well, if everyone agrees, what can I say?
Alright, let me let me just show you how evil these people are.
And I'm going to call out the President right now. Because I
have to do this because this was so blatant, so easy. And I just
to just a couple of Google searches. I'm like, Oh, my gosh,
this is unbelievable. unfreaking believable. So this is the of
course, it's only 30 seconds this clip. President Obama in
his weekly YouTube clip is talking about creating 1000 jobs
at this amazing solar power company. Amazing in California,
I'll have you know, that will power 140,000 homes. And I'm
thinking wow, this is well let's just listen to him call it out.
So this is his. This is his statement to the nation. net to
the world. And he chooses to highlight this company.
For example, I want to share with you one new develop made
possible by the clean energy incentives that we've launched.
This month in Mojave Desert, a company called bright source
plans to break ground on a revolutionary new type of solar
power plant. It's going to put about 1000 people to work
building a state of the art facility. And when it's
complete, it will turn sunlight into the energy that will power
up to 140,000 homes. The largest such plant in the world,
okay. So it's kind of like him calling out this little shop,
right? You're like wow, okay. Wow, that's cool. Yeah, this is
sounds good. So you should go look at bright source energy.
And I'm hunting around looking at BrightSource energy. And the
first thing I see is their investors. And they have an
interesting bunch of investors, all people who are completely
tied into the White House. We know as from full disclosure
records that JP Morgan handle some of the President's money.
You know, he doesn't actually call the shots. So who is
invested in this company? Well, that Morgan Stanley is invest in
this company BP is invested in this company. It's right on
their website, Google invested in this company. But here's the
kicker, John. According to VentureBeat, BrightSource.
Energy quietly moved toward IPO in early 2011. So the way I'm
seeing this is this company which wasn't supposed to go
public for three years, all of a sudden, it raises $330 million.
Some, by the way, from vantage point Venture Partners, who just
invested in the last two weeks, two weeks, I think they put in
$100 million. There's arguably some of the President's money in
their BPS money is in there. And we know how the President was or
maybe still is invested through. Vantage, an advantage.
Morgan Stanley,
well, Martin and Morgan said, but there's another one.
Well, there's this DBL investors, I've never heard of
them. But
now all of a sudden, they're gonna go public. And there's
something called a quiet period. Right, which I'm sure we're not
in the quiet period yet. But for the for the President to
offhandedly mentioned this company, that without a doubt,
people who funded his campaign are invested in and is now all
of a sudden speeding up their IPO is an absolute atrocity.
It is That's it? That's ridiculous. There's no reason
for him to be plugging these guys. Are they done the
SEC should block this IPO? Because the President, he just
made it attractive all of a sudden, and they've got like,
like guaranteed government money. I hate this that really
pisses me off. That is just enriching, just enriching
yourself blatantly in front of the public. And the President is
in on the game. And he smilin links in the show notes at no
agenda show.com.
So what's so special about these guys?
Nothing. They've got a bunch of mirrors.
It's just a solar complex using mirrors to focus the power of
the sun on solar receivers. Have they got some mirrors out there
in the desert? What this is, this is old technology. Hey,
John.
Just correct me if I'm wrong. Did Hillary Clinton not say, in
her campaign, and I think not just Hillary Clinton, but a
number of people have said Blackwater would no longer
receive government money.
I thought Blackwater was cut off. Yeah,
yeah. Well, turns out, they just received a nice chunk.
Well, no, no, but like, what? It doesn't exist anymore. No, it's
Z. Yeah. Well, they're different. Well, no, it's
not busy either. It is a small subsidiary, international
development solutions, received a nice little chunk of a $10
billion contract from the from the State Department. Thanks,
Hill. Good job. Liars.
So you know that if you if you dig deep enough on there's a
couple other partners that are mentioned deeper into the site
on this bright energy, whatever it is, is bright source. Right,
right. Source energy here. Yeah. Which includes pg&e and Bechtel,
of course, but then we have the government apparently, no, yeah.
Yeah. We received a conditional commitment for $1.3 billion in
loan guarantees, and the Department of Energy and Siemens
are all buddy.
Really? Oh, nice. Yeah. And they're gonna go public. Oh,
let's accelerate that. Everyone. Get in. Come on. Everybody get
in Google in Chevron. Everyone's in this is this is like the this
is their Christmas present. That's what this is. Hey, Let's
just all go give ourselves a nice big bonus. And the NBA.
Yeah. Hey, Eric Schmidt. Here are your you advise Brock, a
column over that? Tell me put that in his weekly thing. It's
good. It's good. That'll really make the investors happy. It's
just unbelievable.
This is basically an Israeli company. That's the joke of it.
Oh, yeah. There's
lots of Israeli guys in there. On the board in the management.
Uh huh. I know exactly. The entire a team is all Israeli.
Yeah.
Did you see a Catherine? Hi Gachi Did you see Katherine
Heigl on Letterman?
No, I didn't
Oh, well first of all, she's awesome. And she's she's a
smoker. But she stopped smoking. And she's a and I'm not quite
sure how to interpret this but she is she winds up pulling out
her e cigarette and actually let him and takes a hit off of it
which is kind of funny. But listen to what she has to say
about one of our favourite products.
Oh, it's really it's disgusting well,
and now when you start to do is it just like one or two a day or
do you go
well yes, that's exactly I've started to start once a week
maybe with a cocktail with friends at a bar right ever and
then you buy your first pack during a really stressful
breakup. And and then it's downhill from there. So I've
tried everything I did the patch I did the gum I did the sham
text twice and went bananas then into the shin Tex is a
prescription drug as it is and it does really help I have to
say it did really help I just woke up one day and forgot I
ever wanted to have a cigarette which is awesome that's why you
had to try it twice right
so I'm not quite sure what the message is there other than she
went out of her mind on Chantix which is yeah, she says she went
bananas bananas. Yeah, but then she but she did it twice. which
I found very odd. I'm not quite sure what happened there and
then she brings out the e cigarette which is kind of
funny. But what
this is crazy, but now I do this. Now I do the the
electronic cigarettes. I've never heard of this never seen
this don't know what that is got a bejewelled bottom
hey wait a minute what was it she's actually
blowing out the vapour now and let him in like he's never seen
this right never ever that
I'm freaking y'all
gonna get arrested by the wait a minute what was it what are
you still there it was interesting
in the space yeah Andy but there's nicotine in there is
it's a battery this part is a battery that screws into an
outlet and then this is the filter and this has liquid
nicotine in it so that if he set up and you feel you know you
feel like you're smoking and you get the habit of this you blow
out water vapour so you're not harming anyone around you and
you're not harming yourself a little bit will make you dizzy
when you take a hit of the nicotine here try it
because I haven't I haven't had I haven't had a first was a dog
whistle I just take a regular no not gonna take a big one. Okay.
That's what she said.
By the way, that was that was the best line and he just walked
right over it was a great line. So that's kind of weird. So it's
Chantix and you know and that didn't work and she tried it
twice and then she's promoting the e cigarette this weird which
of course is under huge scrutiny right now. And is FDA is in on
this saying oh, you can't have that as evil you cannot smoke
that.
Yeah, something else here that concerns me. The essentially the
the amount of grief I have received from you for watching
Letterman and and deriving clips from the show. Ah,
well let me just point out Yeah,
well I'm gonna explain what happened here. But yet we get
this you watching Letterman in the show. I didn't even see and
I believe you must have some crush on this woman and you are
have been stalking her. Okay, she looks like Mickey by the
way. Yes.
In fact, Mickey is often confused for her in in public. I
did not
always should get a few dinner reservations using either an
idol as the name
I just told us if when someone says hey, can I just say yeah,
just uh, yeah, I don't watch Letterman. This clip was sent to
me by one of our producers.
Well okay, that's what that yeah yeah. So they out of the blue
they did they did this okay.
Yeah, yeah, it's Yeah. Yeah.
All right. Well, anyway, so what so So what have you concluded
well, I think share Chantix bad e cigarette good. Maybe and I'm
not quite sure who's in the running to actually come up with
the legal version of the e cigarette which makes total
sense. I mean, you Tim and I've tried it before it doesn't quite
give you the same experience but it's okay. But you know, I just
think the companies that are making Chantix Chantix bad e
cigarettes good and they're gonna get FDA approval. And
that's why the FDA is involved because you can't just be
bringing the stuff in from China. You know, you know how it
works with the FDA. You got to you know, sign you got to sign a
million dollar check. We know this from previous testimony
we've had on the show at least a million I'll check for them to
do the clinical trials etc etc that can only be a big company
so I think Chantix out e cigarette in that is the
prediction.
Write that one down on the
end the big prediction book no agenda predictions.com whoever
is running that you got to step it up
yeah you got to step up yeah suddenly make the leads to
predictions to show your show you hear about what happened in
California
are you talking about the 15 should nukes that flew by or
Oh, that's your head that no that's that's like California.
That's your house.
Just my my bad? Yeah. Know what happened in California.
They've decriminalised pot. Well,
this is done done deal.
Schwarzenegger he wrote a V wrote up a document saying, Hey,
we this is bullcrap. We're spending too much money
enforcing these laws. Now it's going to be it's not even a
misdemeanour. If you get caught really? Yeah. happened about two
days ago.
No, do we have any documentation on this?
is what's so funny. Yeah, it's not all over the news, or
marijuana, you'll find two or three stories. This has not been
picked up by the national media. It's like been suppressed. This
is really weird. And the fact that you don't know about it in
LA, where you were the local news, you'd think it'd be doing
nothing but chatting about it, but knew not nothing. Quiet,
quiet. Quiet.
Don't let anyone know. Wow, no, I didn't know that. So is this
now. A
if you're roaming around and be a nuisance, smoking dope on the
street, the cops can give you a ticket. But like it was a
parking ticket, say here and you had to pay like 25 to $100 Fine,
but if you but if you smoke a cigarette, then they tase you,
right? You're smoking a cigarette, I'm gonna tase you
slay. There's no good shit up.
Yeah, this is the most underreported news story of the
week. It's just astonishing. Do you have a link for me so I can
put on the show? Well just type in Schwarzenegger marijuana, and
you'll find it if you go to Google News. And it isn't like,
you know, there's a number of links, but they're just little
bitty stories here and there. Nobody paid much attention to
it. And I find the whole thing interesting that nobody paid any
attention to it because there's a big battle going on. And by
the way, we'll have a special report on Thursday. On the day,
there's a book that came out that the book club should make
note of called nullification. How to Avoid tyranny in the 21st
century federal tyranny.
Oh, really. So what meeting would did I not get invited to?
To what? That we have a special report? I
have a special report. Oh, please. Here it is right after
my educate now that education one is still working on.
I've got the I've got the link right here. Senate Committee on
Public Safety. Senator Mark Leno, must be related to J. Any
money might be an infraction is a crossover. Yeah. The purpose
of this bill is to specify specifically define possession
of not more than one ounce,
which is quite a quite a bit quite a bit in today's world
of marijuana as an infraction and offence that under existing
law is only punishable by a fine of up to $100 and not jail time.
Wow. Well, you know why? You know, you know why we don't know
about this because the Presidential slit squad
distraction team has been all over the news and this someone
sent me this clip from bones. You ever watch Bones?
No, I don't watch Bones. I make a point of not watching it.
There's only so much I can watch either, do I but they did
have a very interesting little discussion in bones. Oh,
hey. Hi. It's nice to meet you. I Hodgins, Dr. Hodgins, I am a
big fan. I just read the piece where you stuck in the sand calm
in 2009. Thanks. Hey, maybe while you're here, you can find
out why every time there's a big story and I mean, like an
earthquake or government corruption. There's always some
celebrity story that takes focus, you know, just BP oil
spill, Lindsay Lohan goes to jail and the country takes their
eye off the ball,
Hodgins media is used to distract us all the time.
Michael Jackson's funeral is on 24 hours a day and nobody finds
out about the coup in Honduras. Oh, fishy to me. I love this
woman. We were talking about wingless aphids. Dr. Hodgins
interesting, right. Yeah, I like it. That's totally what we talk
about.
Yes, exactly. It only we do it incessantly. They do it once a
year.
And we don't care about Honduras either. We don't care about
Honduras. Well, we do care about is the fact that there is a
group of people. This group of people is probably approaching
half a million. And I believe that twice a week we are
actually in LA lightening them and brightening up their lives.
Although sometimes you think you just want to get depressed by
the stories that we talk about the feedback I get, and I think
the reason why people want to support the show is because when
you understand it, then it's just not that bad. You don't
have to get that angry. You don't feel frustrated because
your brain is an amazing, amazing device. Now it's
spinning around trying to figure out what is going on. I've got
the indeed Lindsay Lohan with a SCRAM bracelet. And then we got
terrorists in Europe and homegrown terrorism and Mumbai
style attacks and but when you kind of know it, then it makes
you feel better. Do you not have this John?
I feel terrible.
Okay, it doesn't work for everybody. But it does work for
a number of you. And we'd like to thank some people who
supported this show. For this episode, and for the past week,
not quite as as as much as we'd like to see fact that said,
we're down about half from last week I think, aren't we Yes,
typically have a good week. This is unfortunate. We haven't been
figured out how to correct this although perhaps the douchebag
thing which is seems to have disappeared completely, may have
something to do with it. But let's thank a few people who did
help us this week. John Martinez out of Gilroy California is also
his birthday. We'll give him a call on the second his kids love
hearing the in the morning jingle coming from his iPhone.
Which is apparently what Adam has programmed when he does his
call. Some I don't even understand how it works.
Though the what didn't work today. The bad signal. The bad
sales down its downs broken.
Weird. Daniel huttner in Murphy's California old gold
mining area if I'm not mistaken, double nickels on the dime. Nick
Shubh from North Hollywood in Adams neck of the woods double
nickels on the dime 5510 at a new listener or new contributor
actually Amanda heifner Haffner probably heifner in Manchester,
Missoura or Missouri depending on what part of the state you're
from fit. 5510 John and Adam yesterday morning I was
expressing a valid concern about a police officer and my
boyfriend said Honey, you're turning into Adam curry. Oh boy,
I think that means my free trial period is up here some money I'm
signing up for a
free trial with his wife or his free trial.
Trial. She got her free trial. Okay. Oh my gosh. So Amanda's
free trial. She's now on board. Robert Hall, another first time
donor, Phoenix, Arizona double 5550 or 5151, which is the
insane thing. Keep up the good work in the morning guys are all
American cubicle dweller in exile in Arizona. And then
finally, Michael Schultz, Palm Beach, Florida. It's kind of
inexpensive area. $50 Hello, guys. I just registered domain
name no agenda job.com. And we'll start a site where your
listeners can find a CIO full time, part time or just a
project manager for it. As Adam says, We have a few sis admins
that listen to and now we can offer IT staff to fans looking
for IT support 3% of net revenue will be donated 3%
and low 3%. The website is not what does it like TARP money.
What's 3% is not up yet. So you can go to no agenda job at how
did you figure 3% And I know this probably he's probably an
agent from Palm Beach command. These guys have all the money
he's one of
those guys with the big red goose egg.
He's got the big red Ferrari.
We appreciate anything, obviously. But we percent
know we appreciate anything and we agreed to making millions
that'd be great. Yeah, well, everybody who donated the fifth
$42 We only have we should discuss this because next Sunday
we're gonna have a special 1010 10 celebration. Yeah, it's
the huge day it is the day 1010 10 I think all the coins
are out all the 1010 1042 no agenda. No agenda. Yeah, no, no
agenda fans.com I think those are all gone. I'm not sure about
the no agenda. What is it the no agenda pins?
Yeah, the pins I'm following. Want to thank everybody who took
out a $33.33 cent boarding pass a $33.33 cent boarding pass
subscription $42 donation, which is what 1010 10 is binary, as
Adam has pointed out, and we have that I would like to we're
gonna put up a special list of everybody who donated the $42 on
the website for the good celebration on the celebration
day. And which will be on next Sunday. It's a double, triple
lucky date only happens it's not going to happen again until
3010. We're actually 2110 I guess supposedly we'll also get
11 1111. And we got 1111. Coming out. Don't give them any hints
that they may. I don't know if 1111 has quite the impact No,
no, no 1010 10, which is binary for 42, which according to the
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, is the answer to all
things in the universe. I'm paraphrasing, but that's what it
is. And 42 is if just one of those magical numbers,
and Eric sent me a note saying don't send your ring sizes to
me, send them to him because he's coordinating the mailing to
the Knights which is Eric AR I see. At Eric Mackey AR I see
Mackey ma CK ey.com all one word.
I couldn't be any more. How about rings at no agenda.com?
I'm just saying,
Yeah, we should have something like that. We'll go we're just
gonna take a week or two to get out to get half of the ring
sizes and the people well, you never said anything. Yeah. So
anyway, did you can help us out by going to no agenda show.com
and clicking on the donation link or divorce that org slash n
A or curry? I'm sorry, channel divorce iq.com/in. A.
Yeah. And we really do need the support. It's the only thing
that keeps the show going. We don't take any out we could
easily easily have been making a million dollars each if we took
commercial money because of the demographics of the show. But
the demographics are pretty
astonishing standing. Also want to thank all the $5 monthly
subscribers it's a positive thing and
then James from no agenda wall.com Little make do here. He
says my slaves donated $130 to no agenda last week, but John
incorrectly credited the payment. He said Island seven,
eight, it was on the spreadsheet. I saw it that way
too. Anyway, we get that corrected and a shout out to no
agenda wall.com I keep getting more orders, I would need to
update the tally. We'll be sending another donation soon.
Keep up the great work. And we appreciate that James, of
course. And then this was an interesting note I received and
I'm John, I have an amazing follow up on my request for
karma. Many many weeks ago. If you recall, I asked for some
crazy karma for my gorgeous girlfriend Sarah stead, who was
unfortunately unemployed for many months this summer as luck
would have it exactly nine weeks to the day. After donating to
the karma club, she got a job offer to be a graphic designer
for a chain of luxury hotels headquartered in the area to
start on Thursday exactly nine weeks after you had read my note
aloud on the air. Additionally, she had received three requests
on that day to interview with other companies. The job offer
she got that day was the one she'd been hoping for given I'm
an avid listener have no agenda had my ad for anything related
to the number three or derivatives thereof. About after
week six I started to lose hope that the karma was working but
much to my surprise it kicked in at the last possible moment.
September was the last month who was able to survive on her
savings before being in serious financial trouble may 8 fiasco
she says so they you've got karma it's a beautiful thing the
karma actually does apparently work
it does in many instances we still need to document this
better we don't really
understand it. But hey, like it yeah me too.
I'm gonna play
Let me see we've got John Martinez Yes, so John is the one
who normally tickles his kids pink with the in the morning
sound coming out of the pocket no agenda iPhone app although
today apparently the bad signal seems to be broken. He's
celebrating his birthday, John Happy Birthday. And then Matt
shower says I know it's partially my fault. My birthday
mentioned didn't get said on the last show. I donated $55 In the
morning sorry about an hour before the show. So I understand
you missed it. Then John read my name on Thursday show would fail
to read the birthday mentions that I had in the email. So
please wish a happy belated birthday to Chris Curtis.
begelman and Matt Robinson both September birthdays from your
buddy Matt shower and from your buddies here the no agenda show.
dvorak.org/n a channel dvorak.com/n A or just go to a
no agenda show.com and click on the donation button. John is
happening again.
Indeed. Bad news, bad
news. Bad news. Or could it be good news?
John wants to Nucky Come on. Kathy and John Cooper have been
trying to solve a gruesome mystery for nearly a year it
startles you every time. When you see him you're like, there's
another one. Kathy says it was just Monday when they found yet
another dead cow in their pasture. They believe Someone is
poisoning them then mutilating them. It's almost like a
surgically removed Cut,
just frustration, you know, it's like you're like somebody's
robbed.
Monday's cow was the 20th the Cooper's have lost each time
this happens they call the sheriff's office. But
investigators tell me they're just as confused. No one can
determine who is doing this or why
they are very like us. They don't scratch your head and
can't make a lot of sense out of it.
It's the old mutilated cows. Whenever the aliens are in town
cows getting mutilated, John.
Well, you know, one thing we kind of missed out on talking
about mutilation is the ninth foot found in Vancouver.
I don't have a jingle for foots
that Yeah, apparently the end of August, we kind of missed this.
About the ninth foot. And there's another one I think just
found a couple of weeks ago. No, August is into August that is
last human foot.
So the one thing that is now speeding around the interwebs is
this video, which I guess we're just calling the no pressure
video. And I'm pretty sure most of the people who listen to the
show have seen this. It doesn't really make sense
to play the audio because yeah, divorce slash blog has it? Yeah.
And no
agenda tv.com Of course we'll have it. But essentially, it's a
it's a highly produced video, three different scenarios. One
is this class, the school. One is the workplace. It's a
British, by the way, and one is the soccer field. And in all
cases, it's 1010. It's a 1010 global.org is the website.
And the idea is to reduce everyone's on board. By the way,
according to this everybody agrees everyone's on board we
and it's government's its companies, its people.
We have a Microsoft is a business sponsor by them. Yeah,
everyone's on board. And it's how do you see Microsoft's
sponsor?
Their sponsor, I five ran into the list of everybody that
coughed up money. And Microsoft said one of the big ones Yeah,
I've
been looking for that. Well, let me let me get to the point. And
so what happens in this video is the people who don't agree with
with climate change, essentially, because the science
is in, they explode.
No, they don't explode. They are exploded. They
are exploded. I'm sorry. Yes, the teacher presses a button and
then and it's gory and messy, and it really just blows
everything up. So the website is 1010. Is that what it is?
1010 global.org. And it's a kind of a weird sight. And it looks
like the whole world is, is into this and I'm trying to figure
out so I did a who is which is kind of like the first thing I
do. And it comes up as Franny Armstrong from Spanner films.
dotnet Have you heard of Franny Armstrong? No. Well, she's quite
famous. She makes she is a she runs Spanner films. And you can
find that at spanner. films.net. And she has essentially created
a number of movies. I think it started with the age of stupid
MC libel and drowned out three movies. And she claims that this
has been financed by individuals sending little bits and pieces
of money. And I just have a hard time believing it. She has a
Wikipedia entry. British documentary film director
working for our own company Spanner films, former drummer
with the indie pop group, the band of holy Joy primarily known
for three films the age of stupid and about climate change,
climate change McLibel about the infamous McDonald's court case
and drowned out following the fight against the Narmada dam
project. This is a complete sciences in outfit. I just Where
did you find the Microsoft thing?
It's in the NGO entry at Wikipedia.
Where is it? I don't see it and we go to Wikipedia
and go to 10 Good colon 10 and says companies include the Royal
Mail Microsoft Tottenham hospital they have links they
have these are citations with the footnotes Tottenham Hass hot
spore Hotspur Yeah, the British Medical Journal footsie 100
listed insurance company.
So she's out there shilling as if she's independent and that
this was financed by just normal folks and people who are all for
climate change and carbon emissions reduction. But
meanwhile, she's actually on the payroll of some of the biggest
corporations in the world.
Well, their donors,
how can we don't get done There's like that.
Because we're not bonded to climate change, man waggon if we
were we probably would.
So I just found that really interesting that this really
high grade film, which by the way they pulled down from their
site with an apology.
Yeah, like, oh, well, you live in learn, they said,
and to me, it's like, this is perfect. What better way to get
publicity for your, for your 1010 campaign? I think they did
a great job. This is very good viral marketing.
Yeah, actually, they probably got more publicity than if
they'd actually run it. Although I think it's all negative. I
think you know, the kind of comments you get when you put it
on your blog. It's amazing. Except for the one or two guys
well, you have to make a point to get anyone to pay attention
to climate change.
That's right. Because as you know, sciences Tesla cars has
recalled 400 of its battery cars
really as it shipped
400 I don't know how many there ship but 400 400 to 400 Seems
like probably that's their entire it is.
It affects 439 roadster sold under the 2.0 and 2.5 model
names they've actually had a previous recall 345 roadsters in
of their version one dot o apparently a battery a power
cable in the vehicle could short out and catch fire. Okay, so
doesn't sound too good.
Now, but they've just apparently started production with
government money. They got a huge amount of money for half a
billion dollars from Obama. Yep. And since we you know, it's not
Democrats or Republicans anymore. It's all about Obama.
It's just Obama. So Obama gave him the money from his stash.
Skinny sketchy operation seems to me from his staff. And you
know, so so rich people can buy $125,000 Extremely small
electric car.
Yeah. Which is into girly one at that.
A little bit. I agree with that. So they're in a bit early
design.
So there's this well, the Lotus by itself. I think it's just
kind of a girly car. So there's a tree
betterman bought one and had to send it back because he couldn't
he can't fit in it now. He's way too big for that. Six,
six foot is about it. Yeah.
Girly girlie. So there's a tree snake problem in Guam. And we
had a we have a base there don't we in Guam. Don't we own that
place? Yep. So the the Navy has a rather novel way of getting
rid of the tree snake problem. How would you get rid of tree
snakes? John, I'm sure you've been an inspector for shoot.
Well, here's what they've done. They are bombing the island with
frozen mice or adults with acetone Minute Fan. See them in
a fin acetaminophen. What is that? This is some kind of
poison apparently Tylenol. What with Tylenol? Yeah. Just Tylenol
kill snakes.
Well, and high doses it'll kill you.
Wow. Okay, well, why don't they just put poison in there? Why?
They don't want the snakes to die with a headache.
Here it is. The frozen mice are strapped with cardboard wings
and green streamers, which slow their fall and catch them on
three branches. Somehow I just really like this. I think that's
really cool. And I'd like to see some video if we have any
listeners in Guam. I'd like to spend a minute where I'd like to
see the frozen mice with cardboard wings falling from the
sky.
I'd like to know what company got contracted to manufacture
these things.
Oh, wait a minute. Maybe I can find it from the Department of
Defence appropriations bill here. I might be able to find it
actually. That's pretty funny. I love that. I love that kind of
stuff. That's very innovative. That's how we are here in
America. We're very innovative. We come up with really good
stuff. We come up with good stuff. So there were indeed 15
Chinook flying over the hills yesterday.
Fly at emerge. Play the Emergency Alert network of
broadcast. Copy. Oh, hold on a second. Got it here.
The coordinated monthly test of the Emergency Alert System
equipment. If this had been an actual emergency, you would have
received timely emergency information. This concludes this
test of the Emergency Alert System. What's the point?
both Eric and I have noticed troll. What do you think? I
don't know what that was. Yeah. Eric and I have both noticed
this is being played a lot.
Oh, really. But that does not happen at the beginning of each
month isn't like the first Tuesday of each month?
Maybe? Maybe it's just a coincidence, huh?
But it's so old fashioned? Because I guess these beeps or
something it's supposed to trigger? Yeah. I mean, I don't
think it actually works anymore. I wonder I mean, it because of
the way the way it used to work. Having worked at a 10 watt FM
station in Salem, West Virginia, is you actually have an
emergency broadcast system box and it's monitoring another
station, apparently a bigger station nearby. And when those
tones are triggered, then that triggers your emergency
broadcast box and then you start to broadcast the tones. I mean,
I mean, we although it happens, that sounds like a modem. Yeah,
what happens to be broken today, but I mean, I can send an alert
to iPhone apps. I mean, what is it? What is this bullcrap? That
makes no sense. It just makes no sense of that is actually how
the emergency broadcast No. And by the way, did that go off on
September 11. Don't worry, I have the answer for you. No. It
failed. Nothing went off. Anyway, slave Greg here in the
Hollywood Hills as he just shot a little YouTube, which we'll
put up on. No agenda tv.com in the show notes, no agenda
show.com of these 15 Show nukes just so you know that I'm not
crazy. These 15 Should nukes flying over the Hollywood Hills.
And he sent me a follow up note. You know? You and John always
say that the real news has more to do with moving promotions and
actually being useful. Well, I ran across an article about a
movie coming out in 2011 called the battle for Los Angeles. No
and look at the first photo Chinooks with UFOs around him so
this could they could they could actually just be filming the
movie for all I know. They probably it probably is exactly
that. And Greg, you're very you're on the ball, my friend.
That's that's a very, very astute bit of work there. You've
done you know, we
find we find the movie angle on so many stories nowadays that
I'm wondering that if when somebody that in hindsight, 100
years from now gets a hold of all our old shows, it turns out
that everything was a movie was a movie. We actually brought no
insight to anything. We're just all about movies.
I'm telling you the plot involves an alien attack on Los
Angeles and a platoon must fight to save the city. According to
the makers of this film, this movie is based on true events
from the 1942 Battle of Los Angeles where an unaffected
unidentified object appeared over the city, initiating air
raid sirens and a barrage of anti aircraft gunfire and here's
a picture of a UFO flying through. I'm gonna count of
12345678 10 in the picture, but that could easily be five. It's
probably taken from one it's probably for others. So I'm
thinking that these guys know what I'm thinking when I'm
worried about that. They're flying around my house. They're
doing a movie shoot. Yeah, it's the same colour Chinooks, by the
way.
That could be. By the way, the chat room says they've been
noticing these emergency alerts on a weekly basis
really? Well. It's because of Mumbai style attacks. That's why
John could be Mumbai style attacks on the way on the way my
friend so Haiti news. We finally got a bio for Adam, a Thomas C.
Adams. The this is the dude from the State Department who is now
in charge of the money for Haiti. He's the money man. So
they finally put up a biography page for him at the State
Department with a crazy URL. So just to get that from the show
notes. Haiti, Special Coordinator term of appointment
September 30 2011. To present so I guess it's just one year that
was funny. They do that backwards. is named Special
Coordinator for Haiti by Secretary of State Clinton. He's
returning to the department after retiring in June of 2008.
From a 35 year career in the US government, much of it focused
on managing foreign assistance spook and what What was he doing
during his retirement? He was teaching at the Foreign Service
Institute. You know what the Foreign Service Institute is?
Yeah, it's a one. It's a CIA front where they
teach spooks. It's literally it's spook school, where they
teach you, you know, culture and language of all these countries
for economic hitmen? Right. Totally spooked. Yeah, Hitman
spooks school. He also served as the vice chairman of the
Romanian American foundation, a $150 million grant making
organisation which supports education and other initiatives
aimed at promoting a strong market economy and the rule of
law in Romania. Yeah. So so they had to bring this guy out, there
was no one else, no one else who could figure out how to get the
money to Haiti, except for this, I gotta send this to you, John.
You just got to look at this. Hold on, you're gonna look at
this guy. Tell me that this guy, he might as well have a badge
that says spoke he looked he just looks like one
made you do I'll get a look at you. One of the problems that
they do have is that there's a milieu thing that takes place if
you're you know, it's like if you hang around cops rule and
this happened to me. When I was an air pollution inspector I
had, I was working with a with this one, they had also a bunch
of police that were brought in to do pull over trucks and
violators are smoking cars. And so you'd hang out with all these
cops and for after a couple of years of hanging out with cops,
you'd go into a bar or something and people say, Are you a cop?
Because you'd pick up these nuances that you don't even know
you have. And I had him for a bi was great by the way. And he
everyone thought you were a cop and then after I stopped working
with these guys, it took about two or three years for it to go
away. I never knew what it was
but back in the day that didn't say compass had fed and they
think I was a cop local police. It was just different I guess
than the fact that it would be a different milieu but you have
all these characteristics that you don't even know what they
are and and I spooks are very much the same way that they I
don't know and they there's nothing they can do about it
because you're having meetings all the time with other spies.
You have to go to the office once in a while you're gonna
pick up a certain look and feel and a meal you indicator that
will people that they know what they're doing. They can spot you
this is I don't know how they deal with that. You've
got to go to the office.
That's funny. They go to the office once in a while.
Did you see the picture of the guy does he look like
a problem? Yeah, I can't. Yeah. So anyway, so just once they
always have the greyish the either the grey or sandy grey
hair. We have never seen aired spy.
There's something on the stream today, John, which is I know.
And yeah, it could be our stream provider. But maybe we just once
again, we're getting too close to the truth. I always I'm
always very suspicious of that. Why now is like some countries
is not working, whatever. But there's more Haiti news. This is
great. This is from Reuters. You're gonna love this. Haiti
has asked an architectural planning charity founded by
Britain's Prince Charles to help guide the rebuilding and
makeover of the earthquake devastated historic centre of
Port au Prince. So it wasn't bad enough that we have that jabroni
Clinton in there and now they're bringing in his wing man. Prince
Charles.
So I'm at the store yesterday. The new there's the National
Enquirer. There's another one called
the globe. Yes, well, this this is the same company right
headline.
big headline across the globe. It says Prince Charles is gay.
Oh, news alert. Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo. Really?
That's what Mimi said when I mentioned this,
really? You don't say Prince Charles is no really.
But it was. I should have bought it except for the fact that the
globe these days is a rag right? It's $3.69 to buy one crap, you
know, just for the headline wasn't worth it as a as a
frameable artwork. And we are we are on a budget. Let's be
honest. Yes. The depth to this week's donations. We're on it.
We're on a budget.
So anyway, so in this companies, they've cut, cut something
called the Smart code, which is a way they build urban areas.
And it's just more it's just more athletes moving in. Bad,
just bad news. I feel really, really bad. And I think we need
to talk about STUXnet, John, because I've been doing a lot of
study. I got a lot of emails but not really from any sis admins,
which makes me kind of Wari. So I got an email from someone who
works in the industry, but cannot be identified. He has to
be anonymous. He is a $5 a month supporter of the show. He has
been really hard listening to you and John go on about the
Stuxnet virus I worked for a Siemens competitor as a network
and server infrastructure and security consultant. We've been
tracking Stuxnet for months now, since it directly impacts our
industry. There's a couple things. First of all, he says
the stolen digital certificates are for signing drivers. This,
apparently the stolen certificates does appear to be
real. They are valued at if you had to buy them on the black
market at $250,000 per certificate, then it goes into a
whole bunch of things about no one really knows what this thing
is intended to do. The primary mode of transmission is via
Windows vulnerability. It's in how icons are handled, viewing
the icon is enough to cause an infection of vulnerability
quote, this good is worth 250 to $500,000 on the black market. So
that doesn't sound like that's any type of state that is doing
this. However, Symantec issued their report, the W 32 dot
Stuxnet dossier, it's a PDF linked in the show notes, no
agenda show.com. I have read through this entire document,
and found a couple of interesting things. So how do
they link this to Iran? And actually, the Mossad and Iran in
their report, there's a value found in one of the DLLs I'm
paraphrasing here, the value is equal to 19790509. That's when
apparently the threat will exit which makes no sense and when
you refer to here, the next line, this is thought to be an
infection marker or a do not infect marker. Okay, so if the
machine somehow has this value in it, then it will not be
infected. If this is set correctly, infection will not
occur. The value appears to be a date of May 9 1979. And this is
in the official report. While on May 9 1979, a variety of
historical events occurred according to wiki pedia. Habib I
ignite Iconian, was executed by a firing squad in Tehran,
sending shockwaves through the closely knit Iranian Jewish
community. He was the first Jew and one of the first civilians
to be executed by the new Islamic government. This
prompted the mass exodus of the ones 100,000 members strong
Jewish community of Iran, which continues to this day. Symantec
cautions readers on drawing any attribution conclusions,
attackers would have the natural desire to implicate another
party. I mean, this is crazy. Hey, what is going on with this?
This is an official semantic report. And they're like, oh,
this date? Oh, look, Wikipedia that oh, this is this has gotten
Whoa, oh, this has got to be about the Mossad.
I don't know. You got me. Then there's,
this is the date that I think you want to write down on the
book, the date that nothing will happen. Stuxnet reads a date
from the configuration data. If the current date is later than
the date in the configuration file, then infection will also
not occur and the threat will exit the date found in the
configuration file is June 24 2012. That is apparently when
the world demises June 24 2012. And I don't know man, it's like
I just have a very, very hard time believing this is real. I
mean, it may be a real worm. But the you know now the week has
the front page of their magazine covers the worm in Iran.
According to other reports from Gitmo nation low lands, this
worm has already attacked a satellite and has disabled a
satellite the satellite being inset for B which knocked out
70% of all Indian satellite television. Hmm, who then had to
switch to a Chinese provider?
That wouldn't be indicate Chinese origin of the worm that
could be what it's all about. Grabbing some, some some some
contracts?
Well, there's only two things I can think of one, it's total
bullshit. And it's it's out there but it's Just distraction
or whatever or be afraid or let's get the cybersecurity team
to lock down the internet. Or it's actually the demon, as
written by David Suarez and it's not to bring down all companies
worldwide, which is what I'm really hoping for. Now with that
would be great. If you read the demon redeem and freedom,
and I haven't copy, I'll read it.
And you'll, you'll be hoping it happens. It sounds great. I'd
love to be a part of the darkness in more donations, I'd
hope well, we'd
get dark net points credits.
So the okay, you're done with that one?
Yeah. I just had to update it. Because it's fascinating to me.
Yeah. No, I
think you should keep following it. Because obviously, we don't
have the right we don't do not have any inside track on this
thing at all. Well, well, the well, the the buddy must.
Well, here's the question I have. And this is what I can't
find anywhere. Why is it called Stuxnet? Because nowhere do I
find a reference that says like, it's it's it logs as Stuxnet dot
DLL or anything like that. Why is it? Where does this name come
from? That's what I want to know Stuxnet. Where did the name come
from? Why? What does that refer to? Because that's clearly the
biggest clue. And they'll appreciate the anonymous
information from a competitor to Siemens. You know, I want sis
admins, I want people who have had had their hands on this
thing. Take a look at it. You know, yeah, I don't see them
coming up with anything. So and I trust the SIS admins.
Yeah, more than anybody else. Okay. Go to www I did this is by
the way, just, this is a stub as it were. of an idea. But there's
something up with this particular website. And a
company a couple of groups called invite. Have you ever
heard of environment America? No. In bath and 29 states in
Washington, DC. Environment, America? Yeah, environment.
america.org. But first, before you go there go to go six did
their behind? Go? 60 mpg.org?
Oh, no. Go 60 mpg.org. Ah,
let's drive away from oil. Act now to get an average fuel
efficiency of 60 miles per gallon by 2025.
What is this about? What is this point?
I'm not sure that's why I said it's a stub. But environment
America comes up in the thing and so does the Natural
Resources Defence Council, the Sierra Club in the Union of
Concerned Scientists will go along with anything. I think
they got nothing to do with this. But this this environment,
the America thing, which is another big one. And they're
huge. And I think they're behind this because their website is
very similar looks I was designed by the exact same
person. And I'm just wondering who these guys are. If anybody
knows, there are 44 Winter Street in Boston, and the
Federal average advocacy offices and this is an expensive
operation. You can't have a federal advocacy office in
downtown Washington DC without spending a few bucks.
Dahlia. Real Estate, there's a bitch I hear. So they've really
they've they've stopped attacking our our systems. It's
the Stuxnet. Dude, I'm telling you, they've stopped attacking
our Skype connections directly. They've just gone straight to
the provider. That you know, I'm streaming the stream is going
out. And but it's it's being blocked or chopped or whatever
it's been on. Luckily, most
people download the
Yeah, but it's, it's annoying.
Yeah, totally. Let's just enough to annoy you and throw you off
track.
Well, no, I just want to restart the server and I can't find the
restart button again. Anyway, let's do some of your clips.
Man, you got a couple of good clips I don't want to miss out
on because we often
trade here. But but let's play a couple of things. Here's an I
thought this was interesting. Oh, let's talk about this. Play
the thoughts on Rahm Emanuel
blue. Yes. Who indeed left to be run for mayor of Chicago?
I mean, stylistically. I think there was some dysfunction in
the west wing that had to be dealt with because of Emanuel's
personality and his approach to issues. But there was a lot that
was accomplished. The difficulty is what was accomplished isn't
necessarily popular, I think where you're going now with
rouse with some others from the campaign coming in, like a David
Plouffe, what's interesting is what does it all amount to, you
know, and I think what you're seeing is more of a return to
what was really effective about the architecture of the 2008
campaign, and perhaps in Pete Rouse, where Manuel was not as a
fan Is confounding something that he talks about? How good
was Obama and confounding his Republican critics? Well, as it
turned out, not very good. And maybe they've got a cast now who
might be a little better at that? Okay, I stopped for that,
given the balance of
so they could go confounding who cares. So I was listening to
this. There's a bunch of specials about this. There's one
funny line in here, which I don't have, which is, you know,
Peggy Noonan says, you know, how important is this that the
average person is, there's a wife come barreling into your,
into the bedroom, saying, honey, honey ROM is out. Nobody cares,
except for the fact that these guys would become so powerful.
So I did a little research on the, on the history of the Chief
of Staff, which during the Roosevelt administration, and
before it, Roosevelt, maybe it was Truman, that changes a
little bit. But Nixon definitely, the guy was this
person was always called the personal secretary to the
President. And that's what he was. He was just, you know, he
made sure that there wasn't conflicts. He wasn't like this
guy who's a big ogre, that bosses people around like we're
a manual does or in the fact of the Nixon administration was was
Haldeman who apparently was to be feared. And then it was
somebody in analysed this properly saying somehow along
the lines, this chief of staff and unelected official has
essentially become America's Prime Minister. Really? Yeah.
And if you think about it, you know, it was it's like a new
thing. I mean, you never had this. This. Why is this guy so
powerful? He's not an elected official. Why is he calling the
congressman and threatening people and making and being, you
know, this this horrible character? That is, you know,
while the President is isolated? When did the President when it
was it Okay, for the President to be isolated from the public,
and this and this Chief of Staff character to run everything?
He's potentially running everything?
Yeah. And, and did you see the guy that they've brought in?
Yeah,
rouse professional.
The guy What did the President say? Rouse will fix it,
whatever. No, what's his gym? What's his name?
Let's say I don't know what his first name would look. Something
like that. Yeah, something like that. Yeah, he was the chief of
staff for John aford. Or for Dashiell when he was
what, what bothered me about that whole handover? Which I saw
live? I mean, how could you miss it? is, first of all, a manual
standing there with his whole Napoleonic complex? Yeah. Pete
Rouse to Pete right. He's standing there, you know, with
his with his hands on his hips, you know. And then it's just
this whole congratulatory thing which really just brought bile
up in my throat. You know, Ron was instrumental in bringing us
back from the brink, you know, we didn't have the depression.
Thanks to ROM, we'd have this thanks. Thanks for Ross,
rom the guy running the thing. Now, I mean, this is the problem
we were running into as the government is completely out of
control. And now we have these non elected officials at Clinton
try this a little bit with Hillary, and giving her all his
powers to do the, you know, to health care stuff, which he
screwed up, we should mention. But these cheat these staff,
guys, these chiefs of staff seem to be running the country.
Obama's just out given speeches floating around the world. You
know, he What does he do? He didn't elect Rahm Emanuel to be
to run the country. Why is he running the country? Or was?
Dude, you're asking me? Anyway, I'm just pointing this out. I
think we have to keep an eye on this because this is a bad
trend.
No, it's horrible. And I think this really started with the the
TV show The West Wing? I
don't Excellent. That's exactly where it started, at least in
the modern iteration. It actually took place. I mean, the
the actual change took place, I think, with the Nixon
administration, with Haldeman. And I think it's been if someone
said, Well, this is great, we can just have these guys run the
place. Jim Baker ran the White House during Reagan did very
well. And they and in fact, this show that I had the clip from
they were going on and on about how the different chiefs of
staff did various you know quality work with Jim Baker
being the best ever supposedly, and and now we have these other
these new guys, and they seem to be running everything. I mean,
why? Why do we why don't we just vote for them? And why are we
voting for the president so he can pick some guy to run things?
I mean, this is kinda like, you know, Russia, where you have
these unelected people are chosen by the elected person and
they end up running everything. It's like a city. It's a little
bit like the city manager model in a lot of towns. You elect a
mayor, they hire a city manager and they run they run the whole
show. What the hell we elect the mayor for? I don't know. Oh,
there you go.
I don't know how that works. That's your buffalo. You totally
do. You got me totally buffaloed I don't know how that works.
Anyway, I'm keeping an eye on this. I think it's a bad trend.
I think it's a bad trend in the history of the country. Okay,
the clips. Yes. Yeah, just as a little aside, kind of a
lightweight clip. I've got the this is this is just Bernie
Sanders, who is a character. You know, he's always he's a
troublemaker, independent from Vermont. And I think this is an
interesting little ditty he had in a testimony he likes to
instead of asking questions of the of the people testify, he
makes these comments. And this is him talking about it. Very
interesting comment on the income gap.
Oh, hold on. For some reason that misfired sorry,
soar a $2,000 a year decline in median family income. The issue
I want to talk about which I hear very little discussion
about and what your views on, is the fact that the United States
today has the most unequal distribution of income and
wealth of any major country on Earth. Sometimes we talk about
the economy, like we're all in this together, we clearly are
not. Now I want you a judgement. And tell me what you think. In
2007, the wealthiest 1% earned 23 and a half percent of all
income in America. In the 1970s, that number was 8%. Top 1% in
the 70s, earned 8%. Top 1%. Now is earning almost 24% of all
income. Do you think that that is? Okay. Do you think that that
is an issue that the President should focus on? Do you think
it's morally Okay, do you think it's economically okay?
You know, I think that the distribution of income is a
challenge and a problem and it's something that we need to focus
on. I think, as a matter of federal policy, it's really one
of the things that drives the debate on whether or not to
extend the tax cuts for people earning over $250,000 a year.
That would be the wrong thing to do at a time when we have
the disparity. Ah, this tax cut thing is really dragging me
down. I'm so happy that but
they will make their minds up they won't even vote on it
before the elections. It's ridiculous. I mean, they either
do it or don't do it. I mean, they can't figure out whether
it's a good thing or a bad thing where they should soak the rich
or let it slide, but it's
not really soaking the rich. I mean, it's it. It's not it won't
even make that big a difference from what I understand. It's,
it's just like a distraction just to talk about a huge
distraction is to talk about something else, you know, that's
just makes no sense to me and what and what are we actually
talking about? You know, I when I was when I was a young boy,
day, kid, when I was when I was a kid, you know, people would
talk about American they say, you know, the one thing I really
liked about America too was that one thing I like about America
there's always people who had visited America if you're
driving a Rolls Royce in America, people look at you and
congratulate you and say good job good on you. Really proud
that you made it and you made yourself rich and that's great.
And that was that's always what people who are from who live in
children from foreign lands who live in the United who visited
the United States will always say that they were always
envious of that and here we are, you know the it's not even about
the money it's about fuck the rich that's yeah, that's the way
I perceive it. I
ran a story on the blog about the really a very interesting
car the Bugatti Vaporeon Oh yeah, she's a visa not a visa W
shaped engine with 16 cylinders and what have you just like a 2
million bucks new or whatever? And it was interesting to look
at the comments. It was like I saw one of those it bowknot
Yeah. You know, instead of saying well that's a pretty car
it's interesting that guy can afford it. But no t bone it now
we're What about two steps away from becoming Mexico and
kidnapping people who drive a roll a Rolls Royce or a or a
Mercedes even in fact, in Mexico City, you're always told No
Nobody drives you drive an old beat up Volkswagen if you're
worth the more money you're worth the junkier their car you
drive because you can't take a chance you're gonna get
kidnapped.
Yes, it's really it's really disconcerting. It's an I don't
know what to do about it. And but what I luckily I don't
really hear this. Of course I live in Los Angeles so it
doesn't count. It's it's not really a America, but I'm not
really hearing this meme propagating on the street. I
don't hear people going around like, yeah, man, we gotta have
the rich people pay for we got these Bush tax cuts. Man, that's
an outrage. I don't hear anyone talking about that. Do you?
Know I but you do hear a lot about it on TV from Democrats.
Who are you trying to?
And what exactly are these? Are these? How can we take advantage
of these great tax cuts? I guess first we have to make $250,000 a
year? That'll be step one. Yeah. And then and then what are the
what are these tags? Do we even know what the tax cuts are
about? Do we even know how the packages
there's essentially just a lot of extra deductions for having
for being married for having kids and things like that? It's
not really I mean, it's pretty straightforward. If they end
these tax cuts, it's going to sink the economy. Let's put it
that way. And everybody knows it.
Really? Yeah. Why is that? Well,
maybe you have the rundown on this. Oh, don't
bring me me in now. I'm
just asking you to tell me because you gave me the lecture
last night. But there's a lot of bad things that will take place,
it will just basically everyone's got to pay a lot more
money every right. And it's going to sink the economy
because you're gonna have to scrimp until you get used to the
new numbers.
I thought it was like such a little amount of money that it
really didn't matter for
people on making under it's like, you know, 1000 here 1000.
There's probably amounts to about five to $10,000 for
people, you know, in a really? Yeah. Like it, let's put it that
way.
Wait a minute. So if the mean, I don't I don't understand it. If
the Bush tax cuts are retired, then you're telling me that it's
going to cost me? Who makes less than $250,000 a year? It's going
to cost me $5,000?
If you make $100,000. Yeah, absolutely will cost you at
least $5,000.
Why? I don't understand. I thought it was only tax cuts for
the rich. I'm not rich. I don't hate the to know.
That's for everybody. That's the problem. It's not just for the
rich there. The tax rates increase for everyone.
But the genre that you mean, they're lying to me
know what they're saying. They call it tax cuts for the rich to
to get political votes, but it's just tax cuts for everybody. And
they're very clear about it. It's tax cuts for the wealthiest
Americans who make over $250,000 A year they're very
well, the plug on this. They're not they're not voting. They're
not voting in a new tax cut for the people making under 250.
They're pulling the plug on the whole thing.
But I don't understand I keep getting told that this is only
for people who make over $250,000 A year you're telling
me this is not true.
The Bush tax cuts were for everybody.
For the rich.
They call it tax cuts for the rich because the rich get a tax
cut to
Wow. But wait a minute, then where does the over $250,000
come from? I'm confused. What is this? Where does that come from?
That has to come from somewhere?
Yeah, conservative Democrats saying they're gonna they want
to pull the plug on the tax cuts for the rich, in other words,
that you have the tax cuts for everybody. So let's chop make an
arbitrary line at 250. And again, screw them they don't
have their tax cuts are over but everybody else gets to keep
theirs. Well, they haven't voted for that. They just keep talking
about it. And now that the Democrats or Republicans who
don't have control of anything, but you apparently the
Republicans said no, we don't want to do that. We want to keep
the tax cuts intact the way they are. And the Democrats is all
the Republicans are screwing as they won't. They won't agree to
anything unless we remake it to tax cuts for everybody for the
rich tax cuts for the rich. And so it's all bull crap because
most of these Democrats have more money than the Republicans.
They want to reinstate the tax cuts for the rich more than the
Republicans do. The Republicans are just you know, showboating
they have no power they haven't got the votes what difference
does it make what they think
Wait a minute let let the homeless it but let me let me
listen, let's go back to the whiteboard maybe that I'd have
to listen to this now. Now I'm very very confused because I
thought that Obama had little blue dots for everybody which
was good. And the GOP as it says here on the whiteboard has the
big red goose egg, which is bad.
You may have been following we've got a big back and forth
going about the tax cuts. But I wanted to do today is just break
it down real simple so you can understand exactly what the
debate is about now.
Okay. So John, this is supposed to be simple for us. Can you
please work with me on this? Okay. Help me is Mimi listening
to she might be able to help. Here we go. President George
Bush passed tax cuts that will expire at the end of this year.
Okay. He passed tax cuts that will expire at the end of this
year. Were these tax cuts for everybody or just for rich
people? No, no, these
tax cuts were for everybody. Okay.
That's interesting because he doesn't do He, Mr. Gulag here
doesn't say, just for the rich, he just says tax cuts, okay.
And what I've done here is we got a ruler and measured out the
size of the tax cut is how big the circle is, by your income,
which is listed at the top from Okay, so
it's just it's 10%, essentially, because he's gonna say later on
people with a million dollars would have saved $100,000. And
people with $100,000 would save $1,000 That's kind of what he's
saying, right?
Or 10 10% Sounds
like sounds like he doesn't say 10,000 Well, let's listen comes
up to people make more than a million dollars a year, Obama
would preserve a couple $1,000 A year tax cuts for virtually all
Americans. And okay,
so he wants to preserve tax cuts under $250,000. Is that what's
being said? Yeah. Ah, okay. Even
for people make a lot. They get to keep the tax cut on the first
$250,000 of their income.
Ah, okay. Now I understand. Oh, boy. Wow, that's really
interesting. Thank you for helping me through this. So
these tax cuts, were not the Bush tax cuts for the rich. They
want to put legislation in place that actually turns those into
tax cuts for the rich. No, no, no, no. They want to say up to
250. No, no, it's retroactive. So they'll say these tax cuts
don't expire, if you make under that's the legislation they are
proposing. But they haven't voted on I've even seen that
legislation. So we'll keep them in place up to $250,000. And
everyone over $250,000. Those go away? Is that what's happening?
Okay. So but they're twisting it around and saying Bush had tax
cuts for the rich, but that would only be true. If it's not
just nice, not true. is basically the problem.
No, that's for everybody. But the Democrats like to promote
the tax cuts for the rich thing. Why do these guys get a big
break? In the whole thing,
we get a break, we all get a break with these tax cuts,
everyone gets a break. So if they retire them, and they don't
vote on the 250,000 or below level, then we all get screwed,
right? lowest tax bracket becomes 15%, all of the brackets
raised by raised by 3%. And the top bracket goes from 35 to
39.6%. So that bracket shows up probably at, you know, 50 grand
or so
let me just listen to the last 30 seconds of this. And then
I'll know if I completely understand it.
Under the Republican plan. However, people making more than
a million dollars a year, they're going to be getting a
tax cut of more than $100,000. Right.
But that means that people making 100,000 are also getting
a tax cut. Yeah, under the Republican plan under the goose
egg plan,
that's expensive. Given these big red eggs to the very high
income people would call $700 billion that we would have to
borrow to give it if you ask objective economists and
analysts around the country about what is effective, you
will find that everyone agrees that these giant tax cuts for
very high income are the least effective thing that we can do
to get the economy growing.
Okay. Okay, I get it. Now, I finally understand.
So it's a bunch of other things. Mimi wrote down a note here, I
would read tax rates on dividends goes up Child Tax
Credit cut in half, personal exemption is phased out,
marriage penalty increases all these things. So these capital
gains.
So these are all if if the tax cuts expire, then all of these
taxes come back on everybody. Yeah. But again, what the
Democrats are saying is, I'm sorry, Obama. Now the Democrats
Obama is they want to put legislation in that would make
it only for people who make over $250,000 Is there a bill
anywhere? Has this something been drawn up? Is there
something yeah,
there's a couple of bills out there but here's the deal
they're not going to vote on this till after the elections
and I think what the showdown is is the following the Republicans
want want this to be the way it was before and they're going to
just not vote at all and the Democrats are going to have to
either do it themselves which they can which they can before
the elections they might not be able to until after you know
they might not be able to after the elections but they the
Democrats could just vote this crazy idea in right now this you
know, just soak the rich and let the rest of us keep the tax
benefits we had, but they won't do it. They're they're afraid to
do it because whatever happens if tax rates go up, they figured
that they're gonna get you know, blasted by the butt In the 2012
elections, and if they and if and that you won't be able to
blame the Republicans, but after the elections, they might be
able to I mean, the whole thing is political. They don't care
about our tax rates at all.
Wow. So I'm actually blown away by this. So essentially, what's
happening here is the Ministry of Truth is propagating the
message that Bush had tax cuts for rich people.
And then the worst part about it, by the way, the 250 limit,
which is the reason that Republicans are probably against
the idea generally, even though I think they'd rather just stole
it so that so people get totally screwed, and Obama gets voted
out. But 250 really includes small businesses, a lot of
small, you know, middle income people who have like dry
cleaners and small businesses there. They said, everything's
rolled into their income tax. And so the 250, they're going to
get nailed. It's going to put a lot of small businesses, which
by the way, is the big trend in this country is to screwed the
small business guy and make big corporations that, you know, the
most important thing, and it the whole thing stinks. Wow. It's in
everybody.
Well, would you please thank me for, for we're certainly setting
the straight on that. And that's really interesting. I'm not now
I'm going to start reading some of these proposals. Because this
is something that you if you can explain it properly, and maybe
you need a whiteboard with some big goose eggs, then you can
really blow people away, because this is a huge lie. It's just a
big lie. It's just I don't even think the jabroni is on
television understand it themselves. They all believe
that there are Bush tax cuts for the rich.
Well, they they're dummies in you know, the ones to mean God
establishes tax cuts for the rich. I mean, it was they were
stuck with it, because the news readers, the Rick Sanchez is of
the world we're not using the term and so is everybody you
know, do Rachel Maddow says it constantly and so does
Olbermann. And what are you supposed to do?
We need to Well, what we're supposed to do is you and I will
come up with a way to help people explain this in three
sentences or less for Thursday show so they can go out and hit
people in the mouth about this. Because this is an outrage. I
mean, it's one thing about being lied to about 911. But this tax
cuts for the rich thing that really has me pissed off. Good.
Coming to you from Gitmo nation West in the People's Republic of
Southern California. Hey, I'm Adam curry in the morning.
And in from Gitmo Pacific Northwest where it's oh my god,
it's overcast. I'm John C. Dvorak. We'll
