I don't know that they were drinking. I think they were
smoking dope.

in the capital of the drone Star State. In the morning everybody
I'm Adam curry
yucking it up I'm John C. Dvorak.
Egg was that all about
that make you call me with a crazy added me the way you said
Adam Curry was so awful. I don't know what it was.
I'm sorry.
You're being like the John Galt guy.
Oh, was that it? I was. Dude. I am the John Galt guy. Okay,

beginning.
You're coming in real crappy today. What happened? Baby Oh,
snap out of it. Yeah, this yell? Well, it's not me. It's you. You
need to yell a little bit. You need to get on the stick. Hello.
Hello.
Are you there? Can you hear me? I'm here. Okay. You sound like
crap. But we'll we'll live through it.
Well, no reason for that. No, I
know is like we start the show. And then it all goes to crap.
You know, we were testing for 10 minutes.
They didn't know just wasn't on the show last time, but we got
cut off,
ya know, right after the show. We're talking for three minutes
and boom, and then you lose your entire interwebs.
Yeah. Well, we're talking about something we were talking about
government issues.
Yeah. Yeah. That didn't sit well with everybody.
Like we're saying, Hey, John, let
me be the first to wish you a very Happy National Consumer
Protection Week. Oh, well, thank
you very much. I've been waiting for someone to
gratulate and also I'd like to congratulate you on national
American Red Cross month. Nice and happy 10th anniversary to
the United States Department of Homeland Security.
Well, winners I love how the you know, we have these kinds of
things been in business for a decade,
decade really. So you have the presidential proclamation for
all these things added to the National Consumer Protection
Week. I just like to read to you how farcical isn't a word
farcical. Yep. It's a good word. But it's like a popsicle only
it's a fake, farcical and that fake farce is different than
fake and Okay. So the farce of it is I've got National Consumer
Protection Week. So just just listen to this proclamation.
Over four years ago, widespread abuses and America's financial
system nearly brought our economy to its knees. million
saw their life savings erode. Businesses shuttered their
doors, and families were devastated by job loss and
foreclosures. The crisis cast a harsh light on the breakdown in
oversight that led to an epidemic of irresponsibility. It
highlighted the need for common sense regulations to protect the
vast majority of Americans from the reckless actions of a few.
Is this guy riding his legacy or what? During National Consumer
Protection Week we remind those lessons, we remember those
lessons. And we recognize that our shared prosperity depends on
empowering all Americans to make sound decisions for themselves
and their families. Have no worries citizens. It is a very
happy Consumer Protection Week. I just read that. I'm like, It's
all fixed. Now. It's fixed. It's all it's all good.
Well, of course, there was a good really good on the
financial crisis, a really good meeting at the American
Enterprise Institute with a guy wrote this book, I recommend
people reading it if you can afford it. It's generally
written for the echelon. Peter Wallison of bad history worse
policy where he documents everything that's fake about the
financial crisis and so far as why it was caused and how it got
worse, and came down to end up blaming it on the Community
Reinvestment Act. And the government,
but this can't be true, John, because you you you jumped the
gun a little bit, but there's a website to go with National
Consumer Protection Week. Yeah, yeah. It's fancy looking it once
you
well, teach me
it is NCP w.gov. National Consumer Protection Week. NCP
w.gov. Just look at it. For me, this website now. There now is
the website tells me Oh it's got like a little infographic I knew

several million dollars at least putting this very colorful I
kind of it's the you know it's got the pastel color motif

embedded thing. National Consumer Protection Week 2013
Your information destination? Ah, I had to get some banners
here. Let me
let me because we could do this all for the entire show. And
it's it's an amazing it's, it is a divine website. However, I'd
like to read to you a little piece from the presidential
proclamation for the 10th anniversary of the United States
Department of Homeland Security. I mean, this is pros, man. This
is beautiful. This is like four score and how many years ago was
it four score and seven, seven years? It all starts like 10
years ago.
I wish you could do Obama pile everybody.
I wish I could but I'll just do my I'll do my voice over just a
general blowhard. Yeah, voice over voice that gets me no work.
Okay, that's the one that's the one I like to use the most. 10
years ago when the tragic events of September 11 was fresh in our
hearts. And our nation found itself more uncertain in a more
uncertain world. The United States Department of Homeland
Security, DHS opened its doors with a single task touching your
penis. Keeping the American people safe day by day, hour by
hour. The department has advanced that critical mission
through a decade of shifting threats and new challenges. We
take this opportunity to recognize its accomplishments
and pay tribute to the people who have made them possible
alongside it as partners in government and the private
sector, DHS has taken action to make our borders and ports more
secure our critical infrastructure and cyber
networks more resilient. And are people more engaged in
addressing the dangers we face? While threats persist? America
is prepared to meet them, and we stand ready to overcome whatever
challenges the future holds America Fuck yeah. And it goes
on and on and on. She's amazing. It's militaristic.
Nobody reads any of this crap. I do. I
love it. It's fantastic. And you know, we actually it what ties
right into this is a follow up from our TSA shill. Who prefers
to be go by the name G Rober. He doesn't like the TSA shill
thing. He says G. Roper, as suggested by the chat room is
more appropriate. And I got to share this with you. So I was
blown away by the policy statement, the White House that
you read, referring to the improvised explosive devices.
Now you remember this, John? We did we had quite a conversation
about this, this Presidential Policy and the executive order
regarding the office of bombing prevention, and the
reclassification of improvised explosive devices. So the crotch
bomb was an IED. The First World Trade Center bomb was an IED. So
now anything that blows up anything that goes poof, is an
IED. RTSA insider says I understood that you felt this
policy was the beginning of to an information gathering and
collection system within the government similar to the credit
recording system. However, I believe this policy is a
precursor to an extension of the TSA. This caught my attention as
you can imagine, John, whoa, I know it's a scary thought. And
I'm right to see it too. By the way right now, here comes. I
know it's a scary thought. And I'm right there with you
shitting my pants quoting a section of the policy screening,
detecting and protecting our people facility and
transportation systems, critical infrastructure as well as the
flow of legitimate commerce. The insider says these are key words
that are thrown around in my workplace on a daily basis.
While reading through this policy, I could not help but
constantly think that the government was moving towards an
interstate screening process, including public roadways. I
believe that this policy is intended to prepare and scare
the public into believing that we need to screen which means
search. Every vehicle that travels between states, the
concept of quote, legitimate commerce is also scary, because
the only way to confirm legitimacy is to search the
vehicle to be assured there is not an IED onboard. The next
quarter is also important. A whole of government approach
that integrates federal, state, local tribal, territorial
private sector and global participation in counter IED
activities, will best position the United States to discover
plots to use IEDs in the United States, or against the US
persons abroad before those threats become imminent.
According to our TSA insider, I hold that what this is referring
to is checkpoints, all across boundaries internationally,
including what is mentioned state, local, tribal,
territorial, etc. Hope all as well with you and yours. I have
yet to receive to to the head, keep up the good work. And there
goes Tiger a tiger. So that is a pretty good analysis. I think we
have a great audience.
Yeah, I think he's right, too. And the thing is, is not it's
not that it hasn't been done and put up with before, when you're
driving into California. Now you driving up but when you're
driving into California, they stop you. They stop you from
Nevada, they stop you from Washington, or from Oregon, they
stop you from everywhere, on the main roads you can sneak through
if you go around, but they stop you and ask you if you're
bringing in any fruits
and right fruits, right,
and they can
search the car. They cannot search the car. Well, they
searched the car anyway. But they cannot The only thing a lot
of people can't do what what are you going to do Ron for it know
that when they stop you, you say? Am I Am I free to go? And
they'll say well, and they'll probably say Are you an American
citizen? And you say I don't have to answer that. Am I free
to go? Or you can say Do you suspect me of a crime? Am I
being detained? And eventually they will let you go there's
hundreds of YouTube they will eventually if you want to do
that. Yes, I I will do that. No, because I'm not a slave.
And then we're fine. I can't say no, I got no fruit so I'm on my
way. Oh, oh,
slave. See, I can't do it because with Ms. Mickey in the
car because she's not an American citizen. And they have
the right to detain her.
Yeah, that's that's the problem. You've got the universal excuse.
No,
because if I'm by myself, and I'm pulled out over, I'm stopped
and they asked me these silly questions. I will definitely not
submit to it.
You know, the funny thing is, is last time I came through as long
as it's after,
as long as it's like a Friday or a Monday, because
last time I came through, I, they asked if I had any fruit. I
was coming driving down from Washington to Oregon, and I had
a banana. Forgot that banana in the cupholder.
Yeah, no, I have no fruit.
So the guy looks at the bananas. First he's just froze. He looks
in the car and I realized what do I say? What is he looking at?
Why is he looking at me? And he's looking at the banana. He
says, Do you have any fruit? I said no. He said okay, no, no if
I went
is that a banana in your pants? He just your cup holder you just
really happy to see me
but you're coming in from Hawaii. They X ray your blood is
looking for guavas and other contraband is
that they? Is that because of the dreaded fruit fly? Is that
what that's all about?
Who knows? They just don't they're trying to keep the
tropical weird bugs out of California. It's not
okay. It's really not okay, we have this this 100 mile border
patrol
in Texas different operation. This is the California so it
doesn't
matter. It doesn't matter who it is. It does not matter. No it
doesn't.
It's the Gestapo or some local guy. I'd rather have the local
guy. It doesn't
matter. They do not have the right idealistically I can't
have all the people you from Berkeley. I mean you should you
should be resisting this
No I was raised in California I'm responsible California we do
not need these bugs in the state ruining our crops and
agricultural state sure I have no problem with this
right so that's fine so then don't bring your banana in Mr.
didn't forget
I forgot about the banana I didn't know it notice until it
goes down the road not
anything butter responsible California and you're bringing
down bananas
bananas don't carry anything and I was gonna throw the peel out
the window
yeah the spread the bug.
Wow. Dude have an honest there's no problems up there.
Yeah, well okay, now I'm just you go ahead submit all you
want. Which brings me to the next obvious topic. Bitcoin has
passed the magic 33 numbers since you advise me to sell
which I did not do. I held on to my Bitcoins. And we you and I
are being braided in the Bitcoin a verse.
What does those two guys
did you hear those two? Bronies isn't their favorite favorite
line? Any technical out analyst who looks at the fundamentals
can see that these guys are full of crap. Wow. There's some
podcasts. You guys like? They did like what they did because
they were they talk like this. They were doing an assassination
of us the way we do assassinations. So I like that
with the playing of clips and stuff. But I'm like, Okay, this
is funny. But I'm like, I'm waiting for the big reveal the
big here's the document. Here's the information. Here's the
front
of Bitcoin whites. It was the greatest thing ever. Yeah. And
no, I want an unregistered security as far as I'm
concerned. I'm holding
on to it. I mean, you don't mean I'm a believer. I want to
believe this stuff. I just I can't convince my landlady to
take Bitcoins for the rent. Otherwise it'd be set even even
if the market if the Austin farmers market would and they
have their own money they have wooden
money if wooden coins Yeah, yeah,
yeah, you can buy wooden coins. They have an ATM that literally
poops out wooden coins it's cool. Yeah $5 coins and you can
only spend them at the market now of course you're you
you are just used to $5 bills and no good
there is no transaction fee on the exchange between the between
your dollars and the wooden money. That's why and of course
that money then they have an ATM so the Austin set sustainable
center Oh, and whatever it's called. They operate the ATM
that sounds pretty funny that wouldn't coins is cool. And of
course you know it keeps the money within the system. So you
know you're going to you're not going to take that $5 piece of
wood and spend it at Halcyon on Bottomless mimosas.
Kevin cockamamie scheme is is that this Farmers Market
think it's a good idea.
Was it a good idea? I've got $5 and I go to the farmers say
here's a $5 bill give me some $5 worth of produce I take and I go
home? No you can do goes through the extra effort of buying a $5
call. No, no, no,
no, no, I don't do that. Typically. I'm just saying you
can.
Why would you want to
because it's wood. It's pretty, it's pretty wood.
It's a collectible.
I think it's highly collectible, but it's like I'm a sucker for
these things. I'm down with it. I like the whole idea of
alternate alternative payment methods, you know, living under
the radar, I'm totally down with that. Living under the radar,
but people but people who say, Man, you should be accepting
Bitcoins on the show. No, I can't do that. I can't I mean,
if if bitcoin crashes tomorrow, then I can't, um, you know, I'm
one to pay, you know, donation segments away from evasion,
right? Why can't we accept bitcoins? I'm big fan of these
Bitcoins. You want to you want to I want the naysayers to pay
attention. I'm a big fan of these Bitcoins. So if somebody
wanted to give us Bitcoins, I don't know how to accept them.
That's the problem.
Okay, I have a bitcoin address. I'll manage the Bitcoin flow
because it'll be so much work.
Watch to manage the Bitcoin flow and when the two bitcoins
finally come in, gonna be about to take on this deal.
Here's our work. Split him up with me. Okay, so you are about
to witness one of the biggest problems with Bitcoin. Are you
ready? You ready because I'm getting the information. So hold
on a second. I'm going to find the page here we go. All right.
So please donate your bitcoins to 1k Nine ZGJRJ wq one seven LD
seven U S, M VZITJTNHQ, six un six nine av devora.org/and. A.
Looking forward to it.
I'll put a link on the donation page eventually. You
never get that number right. And there's some of those are
uppercase you have to
it has to be properties important.
You have to memorize that. I mean, this is where my wouldn't
coin doesn't look so stupid. Here's a piece of wood Oh, thank
you Alex that that piece of wood is worth 1k Nine to GJ RJ
Alright, so did we just have a meeting an executive meeting
where we said yes, we'll accept Bitcoin as donation. Yeah. Wow,
I
think we should Okay, let's wage the Bitcoin fanatics.
All five of them. Okay. So we'll keep a running tally.
But yeah, actually, we will compare that to to Pels. mocker.
Pels, mocker is going to start donating in Bitcoin don't you?
No,
no, do not do that.
I'm telling you this is this is very dangerous what you're doing
because if bitcoin cash is invested
is not dangerous, but like I said, if more than five p, I'll
tell you I'll make a bet. I'll bet you a Bitcoin, which I think
you already owe me. That. That no more than five people within
the next let's say a year, donate via Bitcoin. I
think you're wrong. We'll have more than five people donating
via Bitcoin. That is not a good bet. I
don't think so. Really,
let's say 10.
Okay, I'll say 1010. Okay,
you say 10? Yeah, I can. I will say that. I will point out that
in this podcast, the these two gentlemen took great pleasure in
say in written, reiterating over and over again, that you thought
the iPad market would never take off.
Yeah, I did that. Yeah.
But it's, it's, I find that to be kind of mean, and I get a
little defensive when people do that. Because of all the
predictions you've made
before, I've written over 5000 columns, and there's probably
1000 predictions in there. And about six of them. Yeah,
actually, man, maybe 10. But I was I can only document about
four. There's the and I don't count the mouse when because
that was never a prediction. That's bullcrap. That should
that was a creation of other people. But I did predict
it was, it was an unfortunate one. I mean, you know how this
goes. You can't let it wasn't.
I never did it. I don't care. It doesn't matter you ever made
that prediction is bullcrap. I know how to predict the failure
of the iPad and the iPhone, for that matter. That's two. Nobody
ever calls me out on my prediction that the Panasonic
two and a half inch drive would be a huge success. Totally wrong
never happened because the thing never worked.
Are you giving us all your failures now?
The only ones that come out to top of my head
about what you called correctly outside of the show, because you
know the Red Bull call I
mean, stuff Linux on the apple, the intel on the Mac platform. I
mean, there's a million things, but they don't count. That
doesn't count everyone harps on the iPhone when was the big
mistake but there was I can actually rationalize that so it
doesn't concern me because I never got to see that thing in
advance. Everybody who was saying it's going to be great
saw they had that one in their hands and when I Gotta hold the
first iPhone said gal. This is a great idea. Yeah. And I was
completely wrong. So yeah, excuse myself on that when the
iPad wanted there's no excuses. It was just a misprediction. And
I'm, I still don't use pads myself. So maybe from I don't
know, maybe I'm losing my touch. You're not. You're not a pad
man. No, I'm not a pad, man. I'm not
either, honestly, I, I mean, I have that big phone. I like
that. The big phone is pretty cool. But I can't I can't deal
with the, you know, it's got to fit in my pocket or kind of fit
in my pocket.
They're heavy to these pads. Yeah. But anyway, no, I just
don't. I mean, I've played with him. I've had you know, and I
said, this is cool. I watched stuff on him. And they're kind
of a nice toy I have to say. But it's just like, you know, when I
want to deal with a computer, I'd rather sit down and without
a big
fuss about the Newton. What did you say about the Newton?
Oh, the Newton. I fell. Did you fall you fall for that one?
Well, that's probably one of the reasons I didn't think much of
the pad idea. The Newton was a huge flop because its main claim
to fame was that we're going to do handwriting recognition. And
it didn't do anything, it couldn't even get anywhere. It
was terrible.
I went to Boston for that first release, I flew to Boston to be
in line to get the first Newton and I remember sitting on the
ground in a circle with other idiots. And we were like sending
handwritten messages to do here's my contact proof. I
remember that. You'd have to aim it like oh, you're not aiming
do remember that. When it came out had a bunch of these kinds
of you could exchange cards and stuff. And I think that's kind
of the near field communication bumping is also that kind of
element to it where people you want Whoa, you want a copy of my
mp3 Bump
Qalam bumper. Yeah, that's what we're gonna call it clam
bumping. Anyway in the morning to you John see you Adam
Curry was at the at the show off the off the off the ground here
and in the wind all ships and sea boots on the ground subs in
the water feet in the air and also the Knights and Dames out
there. Yeah, and in
the morning to all of our artists Thank you very much
Thorin for the art work on episode four nine or one? No
agenda art generator.com is where you can find all of our
art and in the morning to the chat room. freaking out over
that I think everyone's so happy now we're going to accept
Bitcoin as donation for what's next letter? You never know
Flattr could be on the way in the chatroom there no agenda
stream.com no agenda chat.net Thank you very much avoid zero
sir. Gitmo, Mr. Oil for keeping us on the air. That's highly
appreciated. And you want to go right into producers. I mean,
just keep moving on.
Oh, ah. Well, I
think it's a short list today. It
looks short if you can stall for a minute while I actually well
yeah, I can
how'd I do it was terrible. So we have a couple of producers
who want to thank executive producers to a couple of days a
couple I mean to this to to Mark Wilson I sent JC I don't know
why we don't have Mark Wilson as a night today. Mark Wilson gave
us $600. And he did have a note. Which is unfortunate. By the
way, all a lot of these new guys are coming along and they can't
seem to figure out how to put the note into the Yeah, well,
it's
not automatic. You have to click a little expand box. When you
when you're on PayPal and PayPal, for all it's good. It
really does suck. I mean, wait until we do Bitcoin. Hey, I sent
my bitcoin donation with 29532 24 lapilli blah,
I got an idea. We can check. We can modify the bid and the whole
thing if we don't get five Bitcoin donations in the next 60
days. We kill it. Daily bet Forget it. We won't do it.
I don't want to bet on anything. I just want to pay my rent.
All right. Well, anyway, Mark Wilson, who's a knight today
gave us 600 bucks. He did send a note in but it's just mostly as
he's in. He's in Glasgow. Well, where's
the note?
It's right we're looking at but it's just as accounting for now.
Okay, good. Well, good greeting sighs and the stuff that we do
has no reason to ring but he does ask for karma. Well, he's
gonna get some right now and he will have a knighting ceremony
later on in the show. You've got karma.
And then we have our Associate Executive Producers if $200 And
that's the end of it. Anonymous. He doesn't even want to admit to
watching or listening to the show. You guys Arden's New York
says they just want some job Carmen and LG why for an
upcoming interview?
Job karma coming your way and LG karma?
There you go. And that's it's that yeah, that's all we got.
And now
for our Bitcoin segment All right people, please we will we
will put our Bitcoin number at the website to vote.org/n A and
what we'll do is I'm going to keep a tally and the minute it
comes in, I'm exchanging that quickly. Because that's what I'm
afraid of is we will just have it sitting around, and then all
of a sudden it goes from $33 to two, two cents, it whatever it
could it could happen.
It could hit should happen. Are you kidding?
Well, this is the whole this is the whole argument is that
people are saying you don't understand free market
economics.
What are they talking about? There's nothing, there's no
there there? Well, if you're buying a share of General
Motors,
I think the idea is that because there's a limited supply. And
now, and this is exactly what I said, because there's a hype
around it. People are talking about it now people want them.
Yeah, that is supply and demand. I get that. But when people have
all these Bitcoins, like, well, I can only buy like some virtual
gold from my, my Farmville or whatever. I'm hungry, like,
yeah, hey, I'm hungry, I want I want to, I want a mac and
cheese. You know, like, I can't get that. And I have to like, go
buy a green money bundle. And then the green money bundle
translates to a PayPal and then the Pay Pal I have to send back
to my bank. And then I finally have the money. This is not very
convenient. This is my problem with it. But people say I have
faith, I have faith. And we've shown so anyway, please go to
divorce.org/na no agenda nation.com. What else do we
have? No agenda show.com,
the show.com. And channel dvorak.com/in. A
divorce.org/na is really the place to go. Continue to support
this value for value model. It's extremely, extremely important.
So that we can continue doing what we do, which we do
thoroughly enjoy. As long as we can continue to live this basic
life, that's all that it is. Now, of course, you can always
go out and you can do something important, like Oh, no
propaganda formula. Our formula is this. We go out for young
people in the mouth.
All right, Dan, do we want to get straight into legislation or
do some melts? Because you got all I mean, I, you know, we
tease and I want to pay off on the promise that we're going to
look at this new Ministry of Peace.
Oh, yeah, we got to do that. Let's do the Ministry of Peace.
Right off the bat. I want to hear about that myself. Okay,
because I didn't you know, I let it go. I said, Well, you gotta
cover so I'm I looked at it. I looked at the, you know, their
proposals, but I didn't want to dig too much, because I'm sure
you got you've already because it's the work and we don't like
to be redundant. The
two of us. It's also like, it's 41 pages of legislation. So
first we pile everybody that's about Hi, there. Hi, everybody.
So this came through last week, it is h r 808. Which, by the
way, is also a very powerful sequence of numbers. And it has
been deposited. I think there's now I forgot, I'd have to look
up last week show notes are Thursday.
What was the resolution number again,
HR 808, known as the the Department of peace building act
of 2013. And this already has a number of sponsors. And it
starts off with findings, you know, any good and so this is
what's interesting site findings to these things have been I
mean, people spend a lot of time writing this. Congress finds the
following on July 4 1776.
They started early,
the Second Continental Congress unanimously declared the
independence of the 13 colonies and the achievement of peace was
recognized as one of the highest duties of the new organization
of free and independent spate states by declaring We hold
these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal,
and that they are endowed by their creator with certain
inalienable unalienable Rights, that among these are life,
liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. So I didn't hear the
word peace in there at all but okay, to the Constitution of the
United States of America, and its preamble further sets forth
so this is all building up to prove that we need a Ministry of
Peace further sets forth the insurance of the cause of peace
in stating, quote, We, the people of the United States in
order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, ensure
domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote
the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to
ourselves and our posterity. So somehow that equates to peace,
which I don't think is the definition of peace. Now, here's
the here's the important finding. During the course of
the 20th century, more than 100 million people perished in wars,
and now at the dawn of the 21st century. So this was apparently
written A while ago, violence seems to be an overarching theme
in the world. Oh, it's only Is that true, John, is the only
violence in the world
encompass sounds like from this document.
The United States has been at war over the past decade, with
6600 members of the Armed Forces falters that, and hundreds of
1000s of civilians estimated to have been killed in the
conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. Gun violence
continues to be a public health epidemic. Yeah, so we're drones.
Okay. In the United States, and globally, every year, 300,000
people are killed by gun violence around the world. In
the United States. 100,000 people are shot each year in
murders, assaults, suicides, and suicide attempts, accidents and
police actions. They don't really break it down. But by the
way, I feel if you want to shoot yourself, I think that's you're
right. And do we have to have laws against suicide now?
Is that we do have laws against suicide. Are
you is it against the law to kill yourself? Yeah, no. Yeah,
no, you if I want to kill myself, that's my business.
Know what law?
What law tells me I can't kill myself.
You can't just kill yourself. Yes, I can. That's against the
law. What can be arrested? There? Well,
okay, well, at least we're making the same point. All
right.
No, but no, there's a law again, you cannot it's against the law
to kill yourself what law Wally B. To do. And here's the reason.
If you want to know the rationale, if I was, you know, a
lawmaker, I would tell you, yes. Okay, please. You can't have
people killing themselves, because half the time they're on
successful, public nuisance. They gotta be hauled to the
hospital, they jump off a bridge, it causes traffic
accidents, all kinds of issues around the process. I'm not
saying it's not annoyingly a mess, and it's against the law
to kill yourself. I'm
not saying it's not annoying. No, it's against the law, but it
is the law. Well, you have to show me the law.
Otherwise, you would you would just shoot. You would just wait.
That's why you can have assisted suicides. It's against the law
everywhere. No, that's
assisted suicide that someone else is killing you. That's very
different.
It's very different. Answer the law. Look it up. Yeah, but you
look it up. No, I already looked, I already know,
oh, well, you're such a law abiding citizen that so I'll
remind you when you want to kill yourself Self when you want to
kill yourself now it
would be impossible to do the show.
It would be difficult. Alright. So onward. We must address
multiple causes of this public health epidemic by reinstating
the ban on assault weapons, prohibiting high capacity
magazines, improving mental health services, supporting
comprehensive violence prevention efforts, establishing
a federal gun buyback program and enforcing existing laws by
investing in our law enforcement agencies to help get guns off
the streets. This is about gun control. No, it's no it's not.
That's that is for people who only read the first three pages
like I don't know, most news organizations, although I
haven't heard anyone talk about this bill. On television.
personal violence. You see, personal violence has great
human and financial cost. You see, we've got to break it down
the money. If we can't equate it to money or Bitcoin, then you
don't need a law about it. A 2004 World Health Organization
report estimates that interpersonal violence within
the United States costs approximately $300 billion
annually, not including war related costs. So outside of the
people that we kill in other countries, just the people we're
killing and violence that we're doing in inside our own country
apparently cost $300 billion. And they break that down to I
think it's $15,000 per human resource per year. So this makes
it personal like hey, man that's costing me money when you kill
yourself. In 1999, the United Nations adopted a program of
action on a culture of peace Yeah, how did that work out? In
2001, the United Nations declared the years 2001 through
2010, an international decade for a culture of peace and non
violence for the children of the world. Wow. I mean, this
literally is war is peace 2001 You couldn't pick a better date
to start with the Peace campaign all the way through 2010. So
then they get down to they break it down to the $15,000 per
taxpayer. Violence Prevention is cost effective. For every dollar
spent in violence prevention and peace building. Many lives and
many dollars are saved. peacebuilding is systemic, and
is an issue of health, human rights, justice, and national
security. Now, how are we going to go about this? Well, first of
all, the Earth Charter, calls upon all people to live in the
right relationship to the earth and all beings familiar with the
earth Charles's
got to do with it
was that it's the earth Don't you love Mother Earth, as agenda
21 The Earth Charter. The Earth Charter provides the following
to move forward, we must recognize that in the midst of a
magnificent diversity of cultures and life forms. We are
one human family and one Earth community with a common destiny.
We must join together to bring forth a sustainable global
society founded on respect for nature, universal human rights,
economic justice, very important economic justice, and a culture
of peace. What does economic justice mean? That means
communism, I think. Yeah, I think so. So hereby sheet
Bail Bonds. All right. So she bailed
on affordable bail bonds. So now we got to we got to do something
about this. So establishment, hereby, the passing of this
resolution as a law, we will establish the Department of
peacebuilding. That shall be a department in the executive
branch of the federal government, which will have a
secretary of peacebuilding. There shall be at the head of
the department of department, a secretary of peacebuilding, who
shall be appointed by the president with the advice and
consent of the Senate. So this is a this is like on equal
footing with Department of Homeland Security or any other
it's going to be equal. Along with this, this department will
invest in non governmental organizations that have
implemented successful initiatives to reduce and
prevent violence, both internationally and
domestically. But here's the most important things that the
the secretary of peace building will do. The Secretary will
consult with private public and nongovernmental organizations to
develop a metric model that provides the means to measure
and report progress towards peace. We will have a peace
ometer in the United States, report to the President,
Congress and the people, the United States at issue reports
on such progress manually.
What a crock of crap.
Well, here's the most important.
It sounds like a money grab assumption. We got to start an
organization. Well,
no, here comes the organization is the peace Academy. Oh, the
peace Academy? Yes. Let me tell you about the peace Academy.
Okay. That's the kick. That's the kicker. Yeah, of course,
it's at the end Hold on a second. Oh, by the way, the the
secretary of peace will also be on the National Security Council
will you know, we'll have weekly meetings with Janet Napolitano.
They have human security responsibilities. The security
at the Secretary shall address and offer nonviolent conflict.
This is great, nonviolent conflict resolution strategies
and suggest resources for unarmed civilian peacekeepers,
to the appropriate relevant parties on issues of human
security. So they're talking about creating resources for an
unarmed civilian peacekeeping force to work on nonviolent
conflict resolution inside the United States. Oh, by the way,
that also media related responsibilities. The Secretary
shall seek assistance in the design and implementation of non
violent policies from media professionals. Maybe we can get
in on that. That sounds like a job for the current consulting
group with the Secretary shall study the role of the media in
the escalation and de escalation of conflict at domestic and
international levels, including the role of fear inducing and
hate inducing speech and actions and will make recommendations to
recommendations to professional media organizations in order to
provide opportunities to create media awareness of peace
building initiatives. How awesome is that? That they're
going to basically tell the media what to do. And here it is
educational responsibilities, the Secretary saw with the
support of in consultation with the United States Institute of
Peace. Oh, did you know that that existed the United States
Institute of Peace? Yeah, no.
We've talked about the Institute of Peace before we've had clip
from the Institute of Politics,
well with USIP, the Secretary shall develop a peace education
curriculum. That includes studies of the civil rights
movement in the United States, so they can just send the
Lincoln DVD and throughout the world with special emphasis on
the role of non violence and how individual endeavor and
involvement have contributed to advancements in peace and
justice. And then create school and community cultures where
students and staff did not feel threatened and are free from
bullying and harassment. They still maintain a public website
to solicit and receive ideas for the development of peace from
the wealth of politically socially and culturally diverse,
diverse public and create an establish a peace academy that
shall be modeled after the military service academies. So
let me just bring bring give that to you one more time. We're
going to create and establish a peace academy that will be
modeled after the military service academies. Yeah, I mean,
that hurts my head. It will provide a four year I mean,
that's like so it'll be like the war guys only it'll be for
peace. And it will provide a four year course of instruction
in peace education, after which graduates will be required to
serve five years in public service in programs dedicated to
domestic or international nonviolent conflict resolution
which is that unarmed force the brown shirts ladies and
gentlemen, this is the creation of the brown shirt army could be
could be the peace account you
find it Yeah, well, but here's what's interesting to me because
I'm doing some work here while you you have timestamps that's
how we roll is they what don't you think it's a weird
coincidence that the peace Academy is a name that already
exists? For a series including one there in Austin, Texas,
really of Islamic schools? Really? Yeah, Islamic K through
12 and they're all called the pieces Academy the peace Academy
in Austin Texas is it isn't is a monstrous?
Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Does someone already have the
URL?
Oh, there's a bunch of different URLs so these different places
would have to be peace academy.gov His peace Academy in
Louisville is us to beaba.com Peace
academy.us I have here who's this
guy peace Academy Austin see what their URL is? On teachers
without borders. National Police, a peace Academy.
I mean, peace.
National Peace Academy takes a holistic approach to the
development of the peace builder. What is this stuff
about NPA about us Who is this? Where peace builders go to grow?
I want to grow. Who makes this who owns this was NPAs on this
it doesn't say I was just so frightening. How about.gov
Police academy.gov Police peace Academy peace Canada me.gov
Let's see who owns that it's a parking page. Okay, they're not
ready for us yet.
By the way, these work these are the eight Topcat me.org That's
the Austin Austin PAC e ad. AP academy.org And with a P is for
all Austin peace okay Austin peace academy.org Is there as
the accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and
Schools. Thank you for your service your support and do was
do us i familiar with some of these terms, but not that one.
salaamu Allah Kumar Rama Tula VAVA could Dear parents of the
ICT has some Arabic thing here.
And what website are you looking at?
I'm looking at AP academy.org which is you're the one right
down the street from Yeah, I should go visit. Pay attention
Wow. All the girls are covered head to toe now. Head to toe.
Just their faces are visible.
Alaikum Salaam Alaikum. Oh, all right. Well, it looks pretty
groovy. This is an Austin. Yeah. Who's on the board? It's a
charter school. Okay, well, that makes sense.
That's what the Yeah, charter school. Ah Jane can
I do it? Seems kind of seems doesn't seem like a big problem.
It's not a problem. I'm just telling you. There's a there's a
problem for the branding. Yeah, the branding
is a real pro. Although I mean, I, it looks like peace
academy.gov is a parking page, which makes no sense
for the government anyway, the
Department of peacebuilding will also serve as a depository for
copies of all contracts, agreement agreements and
treaties that address the reduction and elimination of
nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction and
the protection of space from militarization. Oh, it's kind of
interesting. And then we'll also have an office of human rights
and economic rights. This is what I was curious about the
economic rights. The Assistant Secretary for human rights and
economic rights shall assist the Secretary in consultation with
the Secretary of State in furthering the incorporation of
the principles of human rights, as enunciated in the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights by the United Nations General
Assembly in 1948. So it's it's basically a New World Order
thing.
Yeah, no kidding.
And but I found the the peace Academy to be very disturbing.
And that this was that you know, and then you're in the academy,
you know, and you and of course, you are admitted into the
academy if you know, if you have nowhere else to go. And that's
why you have to spend five years in special service afterwards.
So you know, you're down and out. You get picked up, you get,
you know, you get taught how to keep the peace as a peacekeeper
and peace builder. And then you actually do that for five years
load of garbage. Okay. Well, I'm worried that these things will
have this, you know, so today we celebrate 10 years with the
Department of Homeland Security in 10 years from now, will we be
celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Department of peace
building?
Yeah, probably all while we're being attacked.
We will also the Secretary will encourage citizens citizens to
observe and celebrate the blessings of peace and endeavor
to create peace on peace days. Such days shall include
discussions of the professional activities and achievements in
the lives of peacemakers, happy, happy Peace Day, John.
Abbey Peace Day to you. Would you like a piece of pie?
Happy Peace Day, everybody. Let's talk about the lives and
the important work of peace builders. I love when the blue
helmets come to keep the peace. I feel safe. I love seeing some
brown shirts walking around the streets because I feel safe. As
long as I have my ID with me. I'm all good. Happy. Good ad.
Well, I'm auditioning all the time on these people want to get
it. We're really good at this stuff.
Yeah, that's true. And then
just repeat after you're President. Hi, everybody pile
everybody. Repeat after your president. It's not hard.
So okay, well, I was hoping for more out of that. But
really, you didn't. I thought that peace Academy was the big
deal for me the anti gun thing?
Yeah.
I'm sorry. I should have made something up. You should have.
It should have made something up. I mean, it was one it was
one tidbit away. Yeah. Well, I can't I think it would be like
if you had found some it turns out that they were you know, I
don't know. I don't know. I
just not there. Okay, okay. Well, then let me let me make
a here's what I think. If you because you're already got your
eye glued to this thing. Yeah, something's gonna happen.
Let me make it up to you with a clip from Maxine Waters.
Oh, well, that's, that brings it down. That's always a 10
pointer. Okay, matter what she says so.
So, of course we are now in official USA for austerity mode.
We have austerity now in the United States. Well, we'll get
to mac and cheese in a moment. But we have austerity. And of
course, we still have to frighten the citizens about how
incredibly scary this is that no one can get their crap together.
Of course, this could change in one second. It's just the elites
just messing with us. So here's ABC just to give you a little, a
little taste of what we're feeling here and get mo nation
of United States. This is their promo for deadline day live day
hours now until massive government cuts go into effect
that could impact every American jobs vaporizing flights delayed
even criminals walking free. The President and Congress now
blaming each other
jobs vaporizing criminals walking free, the walking dead
rise and walk on the streets.
Unbelievable. Now, here's Max people have their nerves.
Well, here's Maxine Waters, and she's you know, this job's
vaporizing she figures now now this is a good thing for me to
say gave the American public with. So this is a video you can
see this video in the show notes for nine or
two.na shownotes.com. And she's there with her staff behind her
and her little lecture and they're talking about the
sequester sequestration is not good, we should not be doing the
sequestration, they shouldn't takes
place. That's going to be a great setback. We don't need to
be having something like sequestration, that's going to
cause these job losses over 170 million jobs.
170 million jobs, John
Hunter 107. Okay, before we go any further, just play a clip. I
just got to hear it
again. Cause these job losses over 170 million jobs could be
lost.
100 We don't even have 170 million people working.
Everyone's out of a job. 170 million and she says this on the
floor of Congress and nobody nudges her and says Hey,
literally just standing there and she's reading it probably it
probably said 170,000 Yeah. I think it's having something like
sick but also like how she says she's mispronounced a
sequestration.
You don't need to be having something like sequestration
sequestration.
Ryan Seacrest.
Ryan Seacrest. stration don't is that it's just hard.
These job losses over 170 million.
Ryan Seacrest Thracian, everybody with American Idol.
How you doing? What an idiot. I mean, it's okay. I mean, you can
make mistakes. We make mistakes all the
time. Of course you have to but you know, then you just it's
kind of a whopper though. Yeah. But
I mean, she's still she's obviously just a shill, a huge
shill and doesn't didn't, didn't give a crap about what she's
saying. She just wants as long as she can stay in the game. And
then so our president, everyone, of course, was was talking about
the fact that and this was this, I had to say it was kind of bad
when you have kind of a young hit president. And he he can't
he makes a mistake. I can see where the mistake comes from.
But he confuses the Jedi mind trick with the Vulcan mind meld
is of course, that's the news. It's like it. No one could talk
about anything else. Oh, that's new. That's it. But there's a
couple things in here.
That sort of thing should only be on this show.
What do you mean?
Well, I mean, that kind of thing. That catching these,
these, these blunders is perfect for this show. It's nothing that
it's not. It's just as a kind of a side dish. Just one second
sight gag, right right. Now, like you don't get obsessed by
it.
And meanwhile, words really do matter. They think they really
do matter. And I just I watched the entire news conference where
he said that, and this came from the following question from the
CNN girls.
To your question, what can you do? First of all, couldn't you
just have them down here and refuse to let them leave the
room until you have?
Is that a crazy question? By the way? Can the President not do
that? I mean, he could do whatever he wants Canty.
He can just shoot her.
Why is that a dumb question.
The question she asked. Yeah. I don't think it's that dumb.
But can the President I mean, he can I mean, he's the president,
he can decide to kill someone with a drone. So the for the
question would be well, can you just tell the members of
Congress, you know, come to my office, I'm locking the door
until we figured this out? I think that's kind of a yes. I
think he could do that. You know, and then listen to his
answer. Listen very carefully.
The I mean, Jessica, I I am not a dictator. I'm the president.
So
he sounds like he's remorseful.
Kind of an answer is that,
but listen to what he says. I'm not a dictator. I'm like, I'm
only a president. It sounds like he's remorseful. I listen. You
may have not
a dictator. I'm the president. So
meaning this? Who is the he's the president who is the
dictator, Valerie Jarrett.
If she if he said, Yeah, that would have worked.
Who is who is the dictator of the United States of America.
Now anyway, so we get in this whole sequestration thing and he
does what I feel is just about the lowest thing possible, the
lowest of all low Okay, so if you're gonna say, okay, so how
are we going to feel this, Mr. President? Now, the
sequestration, the Ryan Seacrest stration hits budget code 050. I
really looked into this, but I'm interested. And 050 is the
national defense. So that's pretty much everything, war, all
things war on shittest runs outside the United States, and
inside is just war. It's the whole war machine. And that is
what has been cut for 2013. Nothing, no other services for
2013 1415 1617, it starts to be divided. But for 13, it's only
oh, five oh, is very important. So it's only the military, not
anything else. So it's not teachers at your local school.
If anyone says that it's a lie, because I read the document.
It's a very complicated document. But section 251 of the
Ryan secret stration act 251. A, that's where the Office of
Management and Budget has laid out exactly what will be cut. So
it's like $500 billion. For budget code, oh, five oh,
so here's your overtime
here. But it starts in 2013. Only for the military. So the
president can't say Oh, well, your firefighters, you know,
your teachers and your local communities this year, it's
gonna happen, right? I can't say that. So he's gonna go even
lower than whale pool.
I'll just give you an example. The Department of Defense right
now has to figure out how the children of military families
are going to continue with their schooling over the next several
months, because teachers and these aren't bases are typically
civilians, they are therefore subject to furlough, which means
that they may not be able to teach
this stretch. It's like, Okay, I gotta get the teachers and kids
on army bases. One day a week. And what,
and we always have to remember that this cuts are only cuts of
the proposed higher budget. Yeah, no, of course. So they
still have the same money they had last year. Yeah. But plus a
little extra,
no, but somehow, the it's gonna be they're getting a furlough,
which is derived from the Dutch word for loaf, which means day
off one day a week, which of course, would be great, because
that would actually give the kids on the army bases an
opportunity to learn something go out into the world and not be
programmed by whatever crap they're being taught there by
these teachers on the base. Now,
I expect that we'll be able to manage around it. Oh, but
how can you manage around it? I thought this was across the
board cuts. What do you mean we can we'll see this now this is
already starting to smell
if I'm a if I'm a man or a woman or in uniform in Afghanistan
right now.
Oh, yeah. That's how you want to do you want to have let's pour
the guilt on. Okay. We've got our men and women in uniform,
and they're fighting for our freedom against the God al Qaeda
in Afghanistan, and you and now you're going to put worry worry
into their hearts.
The notion that my spouse back home, is having to worry about
whether or not our kids are getting the best education
possible. The notion that my school for my children on an
army base might be disrupted, because Congress didn't act.
That's an impact.
Now, this was supposed to be 7%. John. Yeah,
but that family will, you know, the Border Patrol agents, who
are out there in the hot sun. Doing what Congress said they're
supposed to be doing,
like checking for fruit flies and harassing you. Finding
the hot sun in the Vancouver border with
Yes, that's the hot sun part.
Finding out suddenly that they're getting a 10% pay cut.
10% pay cut. How does that work?
It seven sounds like they're gouging him
and having to go home and explain that to their families.
I don't think they feel like this is an exaggerated impact.
So then and he's talking about
he's like to just classic Yeah, no, but it's in his bowl crap
before I find by the way, Friday when this whole thing was you
know, okay, because no one's gonna do anything. stock market
goes up. Pretty much a new all time high.
Yeah, 14,000 plus, right?
Yeah. i What does that tell you? Well, that
means bitcoin is good. Yeah, it's good
for two for another week. I think that Obama won, here's the
here's the report. Just to jump to this one. Play the clip. This
is a clip from the from from cat, French, French 24. Then
cat, the Obama science paperwork. I mean, it felt Obama
didn't want to do this. If he wasn't all in on this. And it
was his idea to begin with. And then he didn't gladly sign the
paperwork. He must have seen it like this. Wow, I get to finally
cut the military budget. These guys are out of control. I'm
going to cut the military budget, and I'm going to blame
the Republicans. Is this a win win for everyone? As far as he's
concerned? Why didn't he just not sign this document play the
clip was wraps it up from the French perspective.
They were supposed to be cuts that would be so severe, they'd
force the government to come to a decision on its budget. But on
Friday, US President Barack Obama signed into effect $85
billion of spending cuts after months of discussions failed to
find a way to avoid them. both domestic and defense spending is
taking a huge hit. And Obama is warning it could damage the US
economy is also pointing the finger of blame firmly on
Republicans. Yeah.
So if anything, so here's what he put he put himself in a
position he got to cut the budget. He by the way, when he
began he said he wanted to cut the military budget was out of
control. So he manages to cut the military budget. Not a big
cut, but it's a cut. Yeah. set himself up to not be the bad
even though it's all his idea. Not be the bad guy. He signed
off on it. Now he can blame the Republicans if things go go bad.
And if things go well, he'll take all the credit you want.
You know, I was a guy. There was one course it was my idea. Yeah.
I mean, he's absolutely as a politician. He's played very
well.
I think he's very I think he's a genius. Yeah, cuz he
is a no lose for him. But here's the thing. Did you hear his his
little? You know, his little talk? Yeah.
Ya know, his, his his weekly address where it's not? It's not
even Republicans. It's Republicans in Congress.
Yeah, well play they play the years, I have a I have a cut at
a certain spot. And then I continue it because there's
something he says, In this speech that goes, I go, What
could this possibly
be scared of six guys.
Now, it's important to understand that while not
everyone will feel the pain of these cuts right away, the pain
will be real. Many middle class families will have their lives
disrupted in a significant way. beginning of this week,
businesses that work with the military will have to lay folks
off, communities near military bases will take a serious blow.
Hundreds of 1000s of Americans who served their country, border
patrol agents, FBI agents, civilians who work for the
Defense Department will see their wages cut and their hours
reduced. This will cause a ripple effect across the
economy. Businesses will suffer because customers will have less
money to spend. The longer these cuts remain in place, the
greater the damage. economists estimate they could eventually
cost us more than 750,000 jobs and slow our economy by over one
half of 1%. Here's the thing. None of this is necessary. It's
happening because Republicans in Congress chose this outcome over
closing a single wasteful tax loophole that helps reduce the
deficit.
And what does that single wasteful tax loop?
Think what he I think this is another example he does this. We
got a saying something similar? I think on the last show, where
it sounds like he's saying one thing, but he's actually saying
another? Because if there is no single he does, I think he does
it on purpose. He makes it sound as though there's a single
thing, just one single little loophole, these crummy
Republicans wouldn't close
the crummy Republicans in Congress
in Congress, they wouldn't close this one. But when you parse it,
he's actually saying and I think he does this on purpose, because
I've noticed it before we've done it. We've done tough stuff
on this before. What he's really saying is they wouldn't close
even if it did, he left a word I even one single thing amongst a
plethora of things, he wouldn't even do one thing. But the way
it comes across as though they wouldn't do this one thing,
which was minor. And if they had done this one thing, then all
would be well, and I think he is totally convinced that because
obviously we've heard this way too often, that he's doing this
on purpose to make it sound, too because it makes it even more
bits. It really makes you hate the Republicans because it is
what this one crummy thing is all they had to do. And you'd
think that the second that he'd follow up with what this crummy
thing was. And so when you play the second part of this right at
that point, part two, there's no explanation of this one thing.
Just this week, they decided that protecting special interest
tax breaks for the well off and well connected is more important
than protecting our military and middle class families from these
cuts. I still believe we can and must replace these cuts with a
balanced approach. One that combines smart spending cuts
with entitlement reform and changes to our tax code that
make it more fair for families and businesses without raising
anyone's tax rates.
reduced substantially when they did this deal to begin with.
They've already compromised on that and they already raised the
taxes are going to raise them Again,
so how come if this is so bad for the military industrial
complex? Why is Raytheon up from $53? A month ago to like $55 Now
why is everything going up? Why is it all going up? A race Do
you think that they'd be impacted?
It's bull crap. It's going up and these guys all know it about
Boeing.
You know, it's like this is again a game that we're not in.
Where's this you know if the stocks had crashed on Friday the
market gone into the tank, then yeah, okay, well, this wasn't a
good thing, but it didn't it went up and Boeing is gonna
continue to go up for a while it's not going to crash under
any circumstances this is a bogus this whole thing is
bullcrap
Boeing Boeing's up and they have their planes suck
you mean the plastic ones
only that well of course only the that's half only the plastic
planes are no good sheet metal rivets rock but they're up
everybody's up there's a bonanza donations
ma yet Obama's right killed here well here Here of course that
Ford slash in a belief time for
our segments.
You slaves can get the mac and cheese macaroni and cheese
shatter melted together
mac and cheese mac and cheese mac and cheese. I don't know
what it is somehow we ride on the consciousness of of the
universe but and maybe it's maybe it is because you know we
we bought a three speed bike and now you see three speed bikes
riding around everywhere. But I just can't get away from it. Now
Winfrey opens
up about the time she was depressed and scarf down. 30
pounds of mac and cheese. Okay, so
that's Oprah Winfrey. But now, if we had a story about mac and
cheese and a cup in a mug on NPR on Thursday, oh, but they're not
stopping. Oh, no, no, no
turn to something we've been chewing on from an earlier story
are on the run series. In Monday's report era Sally Flores
made this observation.
I could buy a box of macaroni and cheese for $1 bunch of
bananas will cost me over $1 Strawberries are $4 bag dollars
is gonna cost me $5 I mean way more pricier to buy vegetables
and fruits than it is to buy box food. Yes, it's true.
The guy you heard at the end there is Barry Popkin. He's a
nutritionist and economist at the University of North Carolina
Chapel Hill. He explained why that's true.
The notice in the report. You will not hear anyone say it's
probably better to eat the fruit.
This than a box this is even real cheese. This is a classic
garbage Well here it is
have a prophet's package food industry, which is enormously
efficient. It takes a little bit of weight. It takes a little bit
of artificial cheese. It uses lots of chemicals, flavors, and
it makes these magical tasty foods dinner
wishes. How is this guy a spokesman? Well, he's the
nutritionist. I understand him to his list. Well,
well he's going to tell you why. This is so much better to have
some wheat, some artificial cheese and some chemicals in it
defend this kind of that are very inexpensive. Inexpensive
consents mac and cheese also beats out fresh food when you
factor in other costs to the consumer like labor and time.
So here it is time it you may
slip in the day if you didn't have the Maxine Waters.
This is NPR telling you that it's obvious why we like mac and
cheese and why we want more of the ashamed of themselves. One
it's only $1 and you can't even get a banana for $1
The time it takes to cook a mac and cheese it's very short. It's
it cooks in the microwave and it fills you up the pain and fills
you up time it takes to cut up the strawberries to cut up the
fruit. To make it easy it adds time it takes
three mac and cheese you got nothing but time on your hands
I got no time to cut the strawberry. Do you mean
I got to eat mac and cheese and get out of here.
I'm in a hurry. I'll eat it in the car honey.
The other side is getting it from the farmer all the way
through to the store. Keeping it looking good and not having it
spoiled. Takes a lot of refrigeration takes a lot of
complex steps that are very expensive.
He says another factor is a long history of government subsidies
for food production but not so much for fruits and veggies.
Oh Oh, she said it to veggies that Geez. Screw your veggie
slave heavier
cheese dag have veggies here.
Screw your veggies have your mac and cheese you're in a hurry.
Get to your work. Eat your mac and cheese and a mug on the way.
Well, there is solace
I just becoming a regular show report.
The Mac, Mac and Cheese jingle. We totally know sir Jeff Smith.
Where's our mac and cheese report? Well, we need to make it
a little different than just mac and cheese report. It has to be
living the life of like thug life, you know, like Tupac Thug
Life. It'd be like mac and cheese life. You know what I
mean? It's like it was something like that. Mac and cheese. So
just when you thought What an idiot
That was the worst example of anything I've ever heard from
NPR. Oh, people listen to this as some sort of national
treasure. Yeah, so humiliation. Yeah, it's shameful.
Well, luckily, what's next on the ladder when you can't afford
mac and cheese?
It's only $1 one
unknown but what what is cheaper than mac and cheese
Pike is picking up the cigarette butts from the street eating
them. Idea casually for the mac and cheese is the is the
question of the show. Oh, cat food, cat food. cat foods pretty
pricey. Now
you can get cat food for 69 cents a can. But let's say you
can't even afford cat food. Then we have this.
during tough economic times, many families are forced to give
up their pets because they can't afford to feed them. But don't
talk to can't afford to feed them. But a new program could
help. It's called pet food stamps. The donation based
program can help financially strapped families afford to buy
pet food and supplies. The organization is open to anyone
in the US you just have to apply to see if you qualify.
I got a pet I got I got a whole bunch of cats and dogs at home.
Can I have some pet food stamps please because you get that clip
you're killing me with the sense from the newsman that CNN. So
obviously people are rejoicing like why Yeah. So hey, give me
that jacket. Let me roll in the cat here is over here. Yeah, we
got a whole bunch of cats we're taking care of I think I need
some cat food stamps. Free
cat food stamps to buy the cat food and you eat it. Exactly.
That is pretty cheap.
Maybe maybe what I guarantee you the here's you want it you want
a meal for depression, cat food mac and cheese all in one. Like
we'll call it tuna Allah Cambay version of the package cheese to
Nala King. I'm gonna make this I'm gonna make this I'm gonna
serve it to my guests here. I'm gonna see if I can get away with
it. I am going to make the cat food mac and cheese. And I
know for a fact that I could pull that off. Sure, you could.
I mean, you're a better cook than I am. But I'd like to try
it I'd really like to try. And people be like, Wow, this is
really
wanted to retest it properly. I mean, instead of trying to you
know, use some, you know, aged cheddar from England and making
fancy fancy pasta we got we got to deal with the $1 box. Yeah,
you have to do with the $1 box and the cheapest cat food you
can buy that you probably have to buy it. I think you have to
test this part. You'll have this is my advice to you. You get you
go to the look for the 69 cent cat food and then you buy every
type of it. Yeah, you gotta test you gotta work up and do a smell
test and the one that doesn't stink to high heaven is the one
you use in this dish. Yeah,
you know what, my hair will be all shiny. So, there must be
some kind of spice that we can use to cover up better than
ever. Well, there must be some herb or herb or spice that we
can use that
reversal herb for these sorts of things that that particular
thing. I use marjoram marjoram Yeah, I think marjoram marjoram
has become my herbal choice.
What does marjoram yeah marjoram How do you spell that?
Ma R Jora M and marjoram is sit somewhere in between the the
qualities of oregano without the possibility oregano occasionally
depending on which oregano you have because they come from
different parts of the world. But oregano will occasionally if
you use just a pinch too much. Turn something bitter. It'll
turn like a spaghetti sauce bitter. It never works fine on
pizza but with the spaghetti sauce. You have to be real
careful because then it goes bitter. And then you have to
fight it. You got to put honey and butter
and you're screwed. You're screwed.
You can use this stuff by the handful by the bushel you could
take the jar of it and dump it in. And I buy it by a two pound
batches. Mark by salad, Herb
indigitous to Cyprus and southern Turkey. known to the
Greeks and Romans as a symbol of happiness. That's right. Happy
mac and cheese.
But the marjoram is a great, great all purpose and when you
can get it fresh, even better.
Okay, so you think that's what I should be putting in the in the
cat food I'm going to try. I am
basil to
a basil leaf. Here's here's what you do. Here's what you do. You
as you're serving as you're plopping out from a big vat,
this you have to make it look good, but it's a big that
prevents me something's got to be a fan. For copper. Yeah, but
you're lopping out this cat food and mac and cheese. And you say,
Oh, careful, there might be a bayleaf still in there. You know
what I mean? That kind of it's different
a Bazeley. But a Bailey, you should get a basil and put it on
top of the declaration, but you should probably put a bayleaf in
there. And then oh, here it is.
Because it gives that kind of that whole magic act. Oh, I'm
sorry. I didn't mean for you to get the bayleaf you know, it's
that little thing that I add to my tuna Allah King.
I actually pull that off. I actually, it might be worth
experimenting with though.
It might actually be very tasty.
You can make anything taste good. Yeah, the French
Revolution. The French developed a whole slew of recipes on how
to prepare properly and eat rat. Because parasites show the rat
so there's more than enough protein for the to keep people
alive.
Rats are great. I agree mats. Rats are good. And it
turns out you cook them a little bit like a rabbit. And it's just
a dressing of them. You got to skin them and do other things.
The idea? Yeah, dude, we're just dusting. Well, it's not
disgusting. Rat head soup. It's not disgusting. It's just a
little. Ah, nice. Nice. Nice. All right, back to you. Back to
you. Good buddy.
Okay, I got one. So I'm I thought this was a weird story.
I just I don't know what to make of it. And I don't have any
follow up. Even in the discussion way. But why is this
even happening? It just seems weird. This odd story which I
got from Van cat. odd story about German and marketing.
Okay, well, let's look at one final magazine from outside of
France is Germany's dish. Spiegel.
Well, As coincidence would have it. This is also about migrant
workers. And the desk speaker there you can see guests are
biting the new guest workers. And the German magazine is
saying that there is actually a trend now from people from
Southern Europe from Spain, Catalonia, but also Greece and
Portugal and Italy, to go to the big cities in Germany, Berlin,
Stuttgart, and so on, to get jobs, you know, as a marketing
manager, or an engineering or so because they just can't get them
in their own countries. Now you can see a profile of one of the
people who has gone off to be a marketing manager in Berlin. Now
it's got the statistics, 32,000 Italians, 26,000, Greeks 27,000
Spaniards in the first three quarters of last year, so a
trend there. And it's headlines. That story is the German dream.
So of course, we've heard a lot of anti German rhetoric from
Southern Europe, but they're from despi. Could we have the
German tree? Alright, thanks for that, Nick. It was very
interesting. So the term that I liked was Gus Arbeiter, which I
grew up with in the 70s in the Netherlands, and the Dutch
version is very close as hostel biter, and it is guest worker,
this is a very common concept. Yeah, before it was Europe. Now
all of a sudden, it's like, oh, you're a guest in Europe?
Because you're in the German part of Europe.
Yeah, it doesn't make any sense in itself, but I'm just
imagining 26,000 Greeks in the first quarter are now marketing
managers and in Germany, what they're missing. This doesn't
even make any sense. They're marketing with a marketing
manager. What is that a code for some ditch digger on me? I'm not
getting it. No,
they're marketing. Greek holidays. in their own home. Oh,
yeah. Oh, I'm sure it's something like that.
Well, I don't know what it is. But that that would be weird.
Yeah, no, I didn't know what you mean. Because they do have these
parts of Europe. Do they have a strange? Yeah, you you basically
move in with a family for vacation.
And then your marketing? I mean, come on. How many people have
you met? What do you do? I'm a marketing manager. Okay, mac and
cheese. Yeah. I mean, come on. Marketing Manager means nothing
here marketing management jobs in Germany. Let's see. There
must be a slew of jobs. Yeah, marketing manager. Group auto.
Seems like there's those jobs. Well, of course part of why this
is happening the German dream like wow, that was pretty eye
opening right? There used to be the American dream now it's can
we beat those guys?
Yeah, so I thought I thought but I guess not.
So here's here's what was happening in Portugal over the
weekend.
There was no comment from the authorities on numbers. But this
looks to have been the largest protests since last September's
huge rallies, which were followed by a government U turn
on one controversial tax policy. At the Lisbon demonstration, the
wide range of slogans and homemade placards would seem to
indicate this remains a disparate movement driven by
anger.
To contrast, Mr. Fear No, I am here to protest against this
government wishes determined to pay a debt that isn't ours. It
is criminal and illegal is forcing us to feed on bread and
water and forcing us to pay a debt which is created by corrupt
politicians and bankers. So this is very dangerous. I have
exactly what I saw. And I think she actually mentioned this in
the report. This is not organized by union. These are
people who are you know, taking bedsheets and paint and magic
marker and writing on it, you know, death, you banker, Death
to the politicians. And it was a lot of people it was I mean, of
course, you didn't see any of this in most of the civilized
western world because they don't want to give you slaves, any
ideas. But I think that this is very disheartening and
frightening to most politicians, because this is the mob that can
really get out of control. And they're on to it. I mean, they
know what's going on. This is not just, you know, they say,
Hey, you stole from us. You gave us a debt that we don't deserve
to pay back, that you're all corrupt, and we're not going to
take it whether they're entirely right or not is irrelevant. And
there is no interest in the working class.
For many the fact that the government has got it wrong on
the economy and even the deficit, the whole aim of the
spending cuts and tax rises that are causing all the pain makes
them fear still more for the future.
I am here to fight for the future of my two daughters.
Things are very complicated at this time.
International officials are currently in Lisbon reviewing
Portugal's bailout progress, Saturday's protesters not only
demanded that they leave, but then the government resigned and
that Portugal's debt be renegotiated to give its economy
a chance to grow again. Great, well, I'm
just gonna say Portugal is doing fine. Until they were scammed
into this, you know, take all his money here, a bunch of here
we are on the EU now and we want you to get up to speed here as a
country. So here take all his money and spend it on it. We
want to we don't care build an airport that we won't use and
build a road that no one's going to drive on. Well, actually, the
road is in Spain, but it's actually Spain and Portugal
boats are good. They throw a bunch of money at him. And they
said, Okay, I got all this money to spend it. And now let's get
the economy cranked up or what? No, no, no, no, you got to pay
us back. Now. What? Yeah. Oh, and by
the way, you you leverage your entire all your all your
gave us the country?
By the way, did I own that? So it's funny, I'm looking at an
article from their Spiegel from April 2012. And it's saying
young Greek struggle to gain foothold in Berlin, 25,000 new
Greek immigrants registered with German authorities twice as many
as in 2010. So it's stagnant. It hasn't hasn't grown. Apparently,
it's still 25,000. Or maybe it's the same 25,000. But they're
having a hard time finding jobs hard to gain a foothold. So I
think that sounds to me, like that whole report was full of
crap.
Well, that's why I said that's why I thought was so weird.
Yeah. Because it probably was full of crap. I never thought
about that. So I have a couple of clips before the break that I
wanted to play. One is I thought about something interesting.
Play this. There was a there was a nice seminar at the American
Enterprise Institute about this guy in his book, which I
mentioned earlier. And he's talking about here, he's talking
here about the the idea of too big to fail, which brought
something to mind that I want to discuss for a second. Okay, I
have no idea which clip I'm supposed to play. Is Eclipse too
big to fail?
Well, notion.
Yeah. Sorry, the, I've written a lot about this, and that we
don't have a really good way of evaluating whether an
institution is too big to fail. But what we do know I think now,
after Lehman's failure What is that a an institution that is
$600 billion in size. And that was Lehman, is not too big to
fail, because Lehman actually dragged no other institution
down with it. And that is the whole idea about too big to
fail. That is if the theory is that if a large institution
fails it, the losses that are suffered by all others who have
who have lent money to that institution will be so large
that they will all be dragged down. That's why the F sock is
given the authority to make this decision about what institutions
are interconnected. But when Lehman failed, no other
institution failed as a result of that.
Yeah, that was a hit. They took a hit out on Lehman Brothers was
not what happened.
Yeah, but it will do what that's not what I was, when I was
listening to this clip, I got another kind of I just all of a
sudden it dawned on me, was it the bailout of General Motors
for this exact same reason? Yeah. And but nobody's ever
equated all these things with general industry, with banking.
I mean, it's always banking too big to fail. These banks are too
big to fail. What about General Motors? It's apparently too big
to fail forward. All these giant corporations US Steel, maybe,
maybe they maybe they instead of talking about the banks all the
time and how they should be busted up, even though we've
nationalized them, as they talk about in this apparently the
government's taken over everything. And by the way,
they're buying an awful lot of land to the defense. But why
don't they talk about busting up General Motors? It used to be,
you know, 30 different car companies that were all plucked,
put together? You know,
the answer. You know, the answer to that the answer is the Auto
Workers Union use. The Auto Workers Union were a big part of
the unions in general are have always run the modern societies,
and they run this president. You will agree on that,
as this President is the service workers. Like I'd say Jen SEIU,
I think that's the bad actor and the whole thing personally.
Anyway, they there's one more clip here we can do, which is an
interesting one. This is the guy wrote the book again. And this
is the crisis clip. 25 million, bad love bad loans. He and we
were talking about the media earlier, and that crappy NPR
presentation that you found somehow were they are telling
people that is better to eat Mac and powdered cheese. It's not
even real cheese than a banana. Because some guys, it's faster.
Anyway, this clip, I think is is very interesting. We're just not
saying that we don't talk about and to harp on on on the show
all the time, but people should be made. Always be made aware of
this problem. I had a particularly remarkable
experience with this problem while a member of the Financial
Crisis Inquiry Commission, the Commission scheduled several
public hearings which were televised on C span. The media
were almost always present as observers are watching the
proceeds from proceedings on television. In several of the
hearings, I asked witnesses, whether they were aware that
there were 25 million and other low quality subprime and other
low quality mortgages in the financial system in 2008. before
the financial crisis, that was the number I had at the time
since then, and Pintos work has shown that there were in fact,
28 million such low quality mortgages in 2008. All the
witnesses who were asked this, and in all the cases, they were
people who should have known, said they had never heard of
such a thing. The fact that 25 million subprime or other non
prime mortgages were in the financial system in 2008. Again,
almost half of all mortgages, was undoubtedly news. I might
have been wrong, but it was news that I said it. It had never
been reported before. And it is a shocking number. Yet, I have
never found a single reference to it to it in any major media
report on the FCC hearings where I made the statement. And I
never recall receiving from a reporter receiving a call from a
reporter asking me where I'd come up with that number.
Wait a minute. him telling me that the whole subprime thing
was bogus, if to
know it was a real number. No, he's saying there. There's all
these subprime numbers, but nobody, during that period when
they were investigating the crash, they were blaming it on
the derivatives and they you know, credit default swaps,
right, right. And these bad you know, this bad bad mortgage
investment but they never talked about the basis at all. And
apparently the news media never picked it up and he never
managed to even get called nobody cared. It was just like,
here's the bait and he blames the whole thing by the way on
the Community Reinvestment Act where it was, it was. I wish I
believe it's put in by Clinton, that the banks, every bank has
to provide proof that they're making get it getting everybody
a house, whether they can afford it or not. And then doing really
lacks clearance. In other words, when you fill out your mortgage
application, you could rely on it and then get yourself a
cheap, you know, a house that supposedly will pay for itself
because it's gonna go up in value. And when that stalled,
then the whole thing collapsed because it was a house of cards.
And he's just saying that he fought track this during the
hearings and and of all these people that have, they didn't
give a shit. It's just I just found it to be a weird oversight
by the media, to you know, not really, in fact, when it comes
to the Community Reinvestment Act, only a few right wing guys,
I think back might have been one of them ever even mentioned
this.
Explain the Community Reinvestment Act again,
it was a bill that was you can look it up, Bill by No, but
this is people listen to this show. I just explained to
Clinton passed this law that forced the banks to give
mortgages to people that were essentially subprime or that
they didn't really qualify for that mortgage, they gave him a
break, they had to maybe pay a little too much interest or
whatever. But it was, it was a it was a movement to crop up,
prop up the housing in this country created it which started
to create the
bubble 1977.
Yeah, and it was starting to steamroll. After a bunch of
after the Fed lowered the interest rates, and there was a
whole series of things, you'd have to listen to this whole
seminar to kind of pick up on it. But it was a it was mostly
government meddling. From the beginning, starting with that
the Community Reinvestment Act, the one that Clinton put in,
which wasn't in 77, was in 90 something. Once this thing got
started, steamrolling, and then they Feds right at the wrong
time, lower the interest rates, because the economy wasn't doing
that well. And this thing, the bubble got huge. And then it
collapsed. And we ended up with this massive situation, these
guys concluded, by the way, that we should have let everybody go
out of business that was gonna go out of business, including
Citibank. And let's just take it you know, if we would have
lasted as long as it's lasted, if we had just, you know, bit
the bullet then but nobody wanted to do that either their
government essentially, based on what these guys say, with the
regulation, and Dodd Frank, in particular, have essentially
nationalize the banking system in an awkward way. In fact, you
want to, I think there may be a slight explanation for it in
this clip, Obamacare and the banking clip.
And by the way, the original Act was 1977. And it was amended
many, many times throughout the throughout its history, but most
prevalent 9395 and 99. Is what is where Clinton and you know,
even right in along with the gramm leach with the Glass
Steagall Repeal Act, right, all part of that, and now, which I
don't see an Obama care thing when he talks about
his crisis to Obamacare and banking clip.
Sorry, hard hard for me to read
one other thing I'd like to mention that John, sort of
inferentially touched on, and that was, Dodd, the importance
of Dodd Frank as a as a as a legislation that takes over an
industry. People have not the book covers this, but people
have not noticed that this is very much like Obamacare. And
Obamacare, the same thing was done. And that is the industry
is left in private hands. The shareholders are still in
charge, theoretically, but the industry is so heavily regulated
that it has become basically a ward of the government. So
they're there to these two major provisions that were passed
under the Obama administration both have the same
characteristics.
Everybody, yeah. Hi, everybody. Hi, everybody,
Tyler, everybody.
So plague play the Fed and crony capitalism clip while we're on
listen to these guys. Okay. Hester talked about cities and
the UN and refer to them as the biggest issue and I I believe
that's true. That is the thing we have to look at most
carefully that that is the area that creates the greatest danger
here. I didn't talk about it in my talk, but I spent a lot of
time on it in the book. As a as a foundation for crony
capitalism. There is nothing better, nothing greater.
Nothing, nothing more dangerous. Then what has been done with
with the F sock the Financial Stability Oversight Council, it
will now have the opportunity to declare that certain non bank
financial institutions are dangers to the financial system
and have to be stringently regulated. What that will mean
over time, as more and more of those institutions are pulled
into that select Category is that the Fed will have an
opportunity to control what those institutions say or do on
all matters of public policy. And if one of those institutions
should suggest that they oppose the administration on some
issue, whether it's a tax issue, or it's a trade issue, or
something else, squeak warning, hello from the Fed that well,
well, maybe you could tone that down a bit. And we really don't
have to have this
kind of controversy that's really not working for us see
Dewey,
that kind of message to the CEO, is the very essence of crony
capitalism, and will be made possible by the Feds control
over all these other large institutions, just as it has
that kind of control right now.
This is why I'm all we had good clips. By the way, we had a
guest over here yesterday. Do you know who Laurie frick is?
Now? She's an artist in Austin. But she, she she used to be an
executive at vignette. And then she sold her own company to
vignette. She She did a TED Talk and she's been around. She's
kind of like a techno nerdy type woman, artists. Interesting. And
so she comes over because she had Mickey met somewhere in the
art scene. And, and we're talking about the signal. Um,
she's like, you know, do you really believe what you say on
the podcast? And like, yeah, he sent me, are you? Are you saying
that you really want a big collapse and Armageddon? Because
you believe it? Or because it sounds good for the podcast? And
I said, Yes. And she was like, I really mean it. It would. I'm
all for pain now rip the band aid off. Just let's go for it.
People. We've got our Mo that
last. Yeah. That last clip was about selfies, which are
something has been defined as a systemically important financial
institution, right? And control over these, which is too big to
fail operations, then control over these. And by the way, this
is not just banks, that's the problem.
Insurance company does anything but it could be a manufacturer
of anything you could
think that's what I that's why I thought that other clip was
interesting, because it actually tells me it's also General
Motors,
or how about if it's General Motors, it could be General
Electric for General Electric it can because they get all kinds
of Boeing, Boeing, if it's that, then it's also media.
Now the thing that Dodd Frank does is it gives control over
all of these entities to the Fed.
Yes. Which is not a government organization. It is the bankers.
Hello. New World Order. Whatever. Yeah, hold on a
second. Let's just play it. Come on. John, speaking it out. We
control your company. There you go. That's how it works.
So the woman who was on here actually talks about cities a
little bit she'll start
it sounds like an STD.
No, it sounds like like the like the CES. It sounds like a bad
accurate Syfy Star Wars.
Oh, man, I got a bad case of the specifics.
You might as well play the what's going on with the
Sophie's
where's the what's going on? Where do I find this now? It's
right there in the same group. Crisis? Oh, yeah. Here it is
Sophie's I know, it's like a venereal disease.
This, starting the book in this way by focusing on the GSEs was
very helpful because I think it lays out a model for what we're
going to see with Dodd Frank, the future that Dodd Frank has
created for us, which is the future of GSEs. The GSEs in Dodd
Frank are stuffies systemically important financial
institutions, which include banks designated under Dodd
Frank as to fees and then any additional entities that the
Financial Stability Oversight Council designates as GSEs as
civvies. So these institutions will have an implicit guarantee
from the government. They will be in partnership with the
government, the government will tell them what to do and they'll
respond
partnership and its partnership. This is fantastic. This is just
corporatism This is fascism. This is
totally this is just cooperate and share everybody's
information. Don't worry. You don't want to get stiff Do you
cedar points
out this will lead to a funding advantage that will then drive
competitors out of the
mark funding advantage. But hold on a sec. Wow, funding advantage
Whoa,
they get a funding advantage drives competitors out good by
mechanics bank?
Oh, yeah. Oh, no, no, Dun and those guys, that's our bank, by
the way, and they didn't take any bailout money. So they're
gonna be this, they're gonna catch the targeted target,
there's
if they're problems and these entities, regulators will have a
real incentive to come in and rescue them probably in sort of
a behind the scenes rescue, because a failure of one of
these entities would reflect failure of the regulators. And
so Peter points out all of these problems that we can expect.
Yeah, this is bad. This is very, very bad. But it's what it is.
Yeah, it makes sense. So this is why I say rip the band aid off,
it all has to come crashing down. You can laugh, but I'm
gonna be enjoying my wooden money at the market. And I'm
happy I got some wood, wooden, wooden, wooden, wooden money.
Since we're kind of talking about, you know, Clinton and
actually this act that goes way back to the 70s where a lot of
this started. It's time to revisit I keep hearing it a lot
in in my alternative news circles. But it is time to re
invigorate on this show the term Mockingbird. Are you familiar
with Operation Mockingbird? I was until what the program's you
know, I forgot Operation Mockingbird was the CIA media
infiltration program, where they were they hired were they hired
agents. I talked about that a lot. Yeah, well, we haven't used
the word Mockingbird. And I think it's time to reinstate it
because Mockingbird is talking to us on a daily basis through
the telescreen. And just to remind you, because all of this
is declassified. And you know by now it's out in the open you can
Google around I got some links in the show notes, you can find
out exactly what it was. But the real evidence, which is nice as
the from the church commission, that would be Frank Church, the
select committee to study governmental operations with
respect to intelligence activities, where he literally
asked this in a congressional hearing, and you will hear the
answer regarding the LASIK. Yeah, it's a class it isn't
evergreen. Do you
have any people being paid by the CIA? Who are contributing to
a major circulation american journal? We do have people who
submit pieces to other to American journals. Do you have
any people paid by the CI A? who are working for teller
television networks? This I think gets into the kind of
getting into the details, Mr. Chairman, that I'd like to get
into an executive session.
We don't want the slaves to have it on tape. We don't want
here's the way it is it goes. Do you have any people on the
payroll of NBC ABC or CBS? You know, we better talk about that
in some executive session. Yeah, well, there's your answer.
It's a classic clip. And we need to bring back the term
Mockingbird because Mockingbird is Anderson Cooper is
Mockingbird. Erin Burnett is Mockingbird. The drunk Sawyer is
Mockingbird, they're all Mockingbird. And when you bring
the Sufis into it, there is so much control over all these
corporations.
Yeah, what's corporatism again, and that's the Syfy thing and
the other which she uses a GS II she mentioned which is a
government sponsored enterprise enterprise, which is essentially
was for a while Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, Freddie
Mac, all those things that you know, supposedly private, but
they're not run by the government. They're essentially
nationalizing the banks Yeah, they be yes.
The bank with the Fed. The Fed is the bank's John, the Fed, the
Fed is the bank, but the banks, they're nationalizing their own
little business. That's the disgusting part.
Well, that could be that the banks are running things, but I
do, here's John. Well, it could be the bug. The banks are
running things. The banks are running low. Yes,
but who's running the banks?
The Jews, of course. You know the answer to this. That's
always the answer. No, it's I think it's more organic
intelligence agencies. Hmm, yeah. Well, So you're saying the
intelligence agencies are running the banks?
Well, that's a hard one to do, because you don't see any
connection.
No, I'm not so sure. I think it's just families. I think it
boils down to families. And we've always financed the wars,
finance and you know, everything. And it's a it's a
great little scam they've got going on here with the Federal
Reserve celebrating its 100th year, this year. Yeah, it was
like, Hey, we don't, you know, there's no risk to us. We
control everything. And now with the Syfy thing, they control the
companies
and know that they're too big to fail because they're civvies.
Yeah, so you know, I mean, isn't, look at what we've had,
it used to be royalty. And Mickey and I were talking about
this the other day, I still don't get it. I can't look at
the Queen, or the king or the Prince and go, Oh, yeah, you're
special. No, you're just a douchebag like me, you poop. You
know, you and your poop stinks. And you're not special because
you live in a palace where who gives you the right to live in a
palace? To me? Doesn't make sense as a sovereign citizen. It
makes no sense. So I the same thing goes for you know,
everything and everybody and then you know, obviously the
whoever has the money, whoever's got the wooden, the wooden
nickels runs the show. And we don't even know officially who
is a member of the Federal Reserve. Gee, I'd call that
suspicious.
Yeah, well, there's, it would be nice to know.
I would have one thing I know where our paycheck comes from.
I'm going to show my school by donating to no agenda. Imagine
all the people who could do that. Oh, yeah, that'd be fun.
The banks running the show
would happen if they cut off our PayPal account?
Well, like Okay, first of all, put it in the Red Book, they
will cut off our PayPal account that is definitely going to
happen. No doubt about it. That's gonna that is so I'm just
waiting. I'm waiting for that call. Where you say Oh, man. Oh,
man, cut off our pipe and we didn't get the money out. You
watch this. Of course this will happen someone's gonna get
pissed off enough we're gonna say something probably me. And
someone's gonna be me. No, you're gonna you're not nasty
enough. And this is gonna happen of course it's going to happen.
And then that's when our you know our might to donation
segment problem kicks in. You know, and then what am I gonna
do? Oh, I've got all these Bitcoins no worries.
I got 13 of them. Joel Naidu, a nephew and NATO. Ne D. Au NATO.

carried over from the last show not sure. Sounds familiar.
Riley, I don't have any notes. How
does that how does it even work? How does someone carry over from
the last show?
Well, that's, well it happens from a lot of different ways.
The way the thing is downloaded and goes into there's not a
decent merge purge. And this is some of these are put in by hand
because they came in as checks. Okay. All right. Kevin of his
checks as a pilot. Yeah, you wanted to know if there's a
pilot checks? I could go on.

not
even like that. I have to now look at these 256 bit number
strings. And someone's gonna say, Here's my note that goes

Hey, anonymous in Houston, Texas 100 Edit donate again after
listen to your segment on pedophilia, that was your your
last podcast at terrible evil needs to be exposed whenever it
can. Please find some way to move this from a second half
item to a full real news category. Even when pedophilia
is exposed, it finds a way to quickly drop from the public
attention and just due to the fact in the depths of evil that
one finds has a sink to to contemplate. It's not even
sustainable.
I think that of all the podcasts I'm aware of I think we have
done the most on this issue. Yeah, second, second half. We're
now I mean, we'd be out of business. But the amount of
times we talked about this, we put it at the front of the show
people like oh, it's a pedo bear cast.
Okay, yeah. So we don't need it. That's why we actually as much
as we have talked about it, it's probably only maybe four or five
shows or six. Yeah, it doesn't come up that much. Because you
know what happened with you. Adam had a radio station burned
to the ground because he was
talking like flame thrower.
Like so. You know, it's not it's not a safe thing to talk about.
So we don't talk about it that much. Corey cotton Lehigh acres,

when is a long donation note that even though that's not what
happened here, I just missed it said Philip scan dari Yato.
Brooklyn, New York gave his 100 bucks. I couldn't find a note
from him. But anyway, last week, there was this long donation
note. And when there's a long note and you you scroll down on
Excel, according to this, apparently it gets discovered by
JC. It skips the guy that it should have scrolled down to
it's that does a page a double page or something. And so we
missed. We missed a guy anyway.
Yeah, as we say in Holland. Boy, we were making a lot of noise
together, weren't we? Yeah, that's the elephant and the
mouse crossed the bridge.
So anyway, that guy we missed was Peter marks last week, and
he gave us 6969 And he wanted to make sure that we mentioned him.
Not only that, but we'll give them a special 69

Are you doing something else? Are you distracted?
I've tried to do that I tried it the problem with a 31313 is that
it's the day month year. And I keep visualizing the month day
year and it confuses me
well 31313 Is what 90% of the universe uses that date
structure except for fine with it. And but of course it's also
show 500 So you can make up your own numerology we thought the
threes was was nice, but regardless, this is one of those
it's kind of like our our time to shine when we need that extra
boost to get us through the slower time so we can just move
on and just and just move forward keep going forward, keep
doing the work that we want to do and you know keep watching

Today you completed your knighthood by very kindly
becoming the executive producer of episode four nine or to a
real title. We will vouch of course on your behalf and you
send your accounting we are proud to be presenting you soon
with the pain of the no agenda Knights of the Round Tables, so
hereby pronounce the Sir Mark Knight and the round table and

So dvorak.org/n A, for the value for value model, which I will be
talking about on Saturday, the ninth of March, at South by
Southwest at Dell Hall at 1230. The title of my session, value
for value, just getting buy in new media. Again, I put some
clips together. I'm basically doing the whole CUSP speech just
doing that again. But I'm going to start off on Yeah, I'll
customize. I'm trying to get on the road with this thing. I want
someone to pay me to do this, you know, I'll go to your
company. And then I'll just say, you know, I'll be entertaining.
We'd live for an hour and you pay me Isn't that how that
works? isn't just isn't just an item on the checklist when they
have like some gathering and we've got some great speakers.
Yeah, no, doesn't work that way. Well,
it's a cycle. It's a problem. Right now. He's down so that's
it goes like this. And you'll be cheap. Let's say you're five
grand.
Five grand I'll throw in a blow job.
Well, that might be necessary and it was just say you're five
grand so you go and the beatings Your meeting is going on at a
company. Yeah, well what are you going to do bill with the we got
to we got to hold a fill in our big conference big database
conference. We're gonna have I mean, people are showing up
we're gonna have 1100 people are gonna be sales conferences,
sales, the sales people. It makes a big conference big
conference. Well, we haven't for a keynote. Well, I was thinking
to get this curry guy Adam curry seems like a pretty good
speaker. He's got a good reputation. Yeah. What does it
cost? Five grand. I can't we have Bill from accounting and
studies. He's actually pretty good public speakers, a member
of Toastmasters,
you can do balloon animals,
is so Jays Toastmasters. He's pretty good. I've heard him
speak. He's he's really funny. Accounting gives the speech and
that's that you're done. You don't get your $5,000
You're right. So I should probably just stay at home and
just work harder and just do more and more.
You should try to go for it. Everyone's you know, when the
cycle changes, that guy's got money to throw away then they
start hiring. You know, Clinton to speak.
He's in. He's been in the Netherlands. I think 10 times in
the past three months. Just giving speeches. Yeah, I think
he's lowered his price or something. Or maybe he's well,
he's
been high price was I know, is two $50
million. Yeah, I think I think he's bundling. So you know,
because you don't have because the
$50,000 deals or 100? Yes.
And then they pool for the jet because you know, the jet is
that's 60 Probably 60 $70,000 for the round trip. So it can do
with one jet ticket. And you know, the hotel and everything.
And so now he's probably still picking up 300,000 Maybe half a
million, but he's hanging out. He's hanging out. He's not going
back in hanging out drinking those Dutch girls, pounding them
hookers. So the clip I accidentally played, which I
have lined up for you. I have it lined up specific. This is Chris
Matthews, who I do not watch but was this clip was pointed out to
me pointed out to me, not for the reason that I liked it.
Because he's going to say that if we don't get guns off the
street, someone's going to shoot the president. That is his
message. You're kidding. But then when you add that what I
missed the first time when someone pointed this out to me
is who is going to be doing the shooting? Because we are both
suspects. You and I
we don't even know what doesn't make sense. We're not even
anywhere near there. One,
I personally don't want to be part of a movement that keep
those semi automatics flying into the hands of all sorts of
people as they are today. The hoarders, the survivalist the
paranoid the criminal, and downright politically nutty.
I think I heard hoarders that would be no archive. The
was it the preppers and that was pretty bad. Downright nutty.
Yeah. And the nutty. I personally don't want to be part
of a movement that keep those semi automatics flying into the
hands of all sorts of people as they are today. The hoarders,
the survivalist, the survivalist paranoid, the paranoid I think I
fall under paranoid criminal and downright politically nutty,
politically nutty. anyone that disagrees with Chris Yeah. Why?
Because the next mass shooter could well emerge out of this
pack check. The shooters of John F. Kennedy and Jerry Ford, who
got shot at twice. Look at the man who shot Bobby Kennedy and
Martin Luther King and Malcolm X and George Wallace. I'm pretty
sure it was all CIA actually, but okay, they all had political
motives and they all had guns got them easy and put them
easily to use. And if you're not against this movement, you are
with it. Wow. This guy though? How unbelievable is um, that's
really that's dangerous talk there.
No, that guy's dead. That's horrible. He's a bus aversive
that guy. I mean, in the worst way. Let's play since we've done
this sort of thing. Let's play. Here's Rob Reiner. Talking about
guns and and I want you to see if you can spot the logical
contradictions. And I think there's two of them even though
one of them's really
Rob. Rob Reiner is the guy who was meat meathead on all on the
family. He's the director. Son of Carl Reiner
Yes, yeah, he's he's a big blowup Doug left wing, blowhard.
He's on all kinds of stuff. He's, he's very entertaining. I
heard him at the Commonwealth Club. Very, very funny. But when
he goes off on this stuffy, see if you can hear the logical
inconsistency, which I think is a real problem with a lot of
these people, the logical inconsistency what he has to say
problems who also watch those video games might be tipped over
by something like that. Yes, but those people if they didn't have
access to guns, they probably go and it's stabbed somebody or hit
somebody with a baseball bat or whatever the cause of other
issues. Yeah, yeah. No because of other issues. Hughes it's not
like somebody, you know, this is the this is the argument. They
have the same video games, the same violent movies in Japan, in
Canada, and England, all the same things. And nobody's
getting killed there. Because they don't have the guns. I
mean, so So those kinds of things are not I mean, if we saw
outbreaks of violence based on these violent movies that we
that we have, and it's what our second biggest export is these
movies to around the world, if we saw big outbreaks of violence
because of that, then you say, Hey, we got a we got a case
here.
You see in a high there's nothing but violence in the
United Kingdom. And it's all knife crime and people ganging
up on each other and beating each other with sticks. Is he is
he insane? Well, here's
the thing that just self contradiction was the following.
One is that he says, Well, if there was no guns and these nut
balls who who get turned on by a violent video game, which stab
someone, they'd have a knife, he said, and then he says, Then he
goes on and drops that whole thought, and says it's
all because of guns. Yeah, he's an idiot.
And then by the way, and it's never mentioned that one of the
most highly armed citizenry in the world is Switzerland. And
they get those movies. So it's all bull crap.
Whoa, put their subtitles what the movies will bullcrap and
movers are subtitle. So I think there's I think I don't think
you're getting it firsthand. It doesn't work. It's
one thing is the thing is the vocalism. Explosion.
Too busy reading the subtitle,
the way to do it. We can stop all violence by subtitling our
movies. Sometimes, you have to read
Hey, I'm a little I'm a little. I'm a little angry. And I saw
that you came up with this as well. But I'm a little angry
that they know that our movie is not going to happen now. We had
the whole
step Oh, the mark tar mark down Mark tar.
He was known as the Marlboro Man. Because of the millions of
dollars he made smuggling cigarettes across the Sahara.
But in the last few months, the one eyed Mark Tarbell matar, has
become one of the most sought after terrorists in the world
and actors. It was Bill matar who authority say was the
mastermind of the attack this January out of the Algerian
natural gas plant that left dozens of Westerners and at
least three Americans dead, knocked or had formed his own
Alcator splinter group and announced he would use his
wealth to finance more attacks against American and Western
interests in the region and beyond. The US badly wanted belt
matar stopped and actively helped in the search by French
and African military units to find him and another top al
Qaeda leader who was reported killed yesterday here comes Bell
knocked her husband reported killed at least two times before
in previous years, only to show up a lot.
So what do you think? Do you think he's really gone on mute?
Or is he just playing hard to get because he wants more money
for the movie?
You know, I don't know if he ever existed. I mean, which
would mean he's going to crop up again. But I the one that I the
one I thought this was on van cat, which is the this is the
one that was a I thought this was just a generally confusing
report because there's other guys I eat who's dead. And
Mokhtar and I got the two of them confused but play the mock
Qatar too confusing report.
It's the first official announcement of Abdelhamid Abu
Zaid stuff, the most feared commander of al Qaeda in the
Islamic Maghreb. Since last Thursday, he had been declared
dead on several occasions by Algerian media among others. The
Algerian press even reported that it authorities had
collected DNA samples from members of his family to
identify the body. French newspaper New Moons confirmed
his death quoting high level reliable officials. However,
since the President's announcement no other officials
in neither Mali Chad or France have confirmed that was aids
death.
I think they got it from the same store that they bought the
bin Laden DNA from
the DNA store that's bull crap. All right. And by the way, this
other report that I picked up on from the I know some, the whole
thing is hoax. But this this, whatever, apparently all the
soldiers that were being killed and Molly and I guess part in
our elegir they're all from Chad. Well, yeah.
As many as 50 jihadists have been captured in the French led
intervention in Mali, they were caught hiding on an island in
the Niger River near the city of Goa. Meanwhile, tadi and
President Idriss Deby has confirmed al Qaeda COMMANDER ABU
Zaid was killed during clashes in the remote region of Mali
several days ago. Julius Sega has more The
National funeral for the 26 champion soldiers killed in
fighting in Mali on February 22. In front of journalists and
opposition leaders, President EZs Devi made a surprising
announcement
to our soldiers are chatting soldiers killed to crush the top
al Qaeda leaders, including Abu Saeed, muddy our soldiers, they
have liberated the cities of the Kedar fuel liberated.
By the way, when they said they gave the new the Prime Minister
is going to make a surprise announcement he comes out and
says he's gay. I think that's
surprising, everybody, I'm gay. Whip it up. So I came across,
you know, sometimes you come across things that just
correlate for some crazy reason like, oh, wow, what is going on
here? So we have the general concept down of an economic
hitman. And if we actually got a note from our economic hitman
about what was it, it wasn't it was to other countries. It was a
was it Tanzania? I think he was talking about and
apparently the Yeah, well, Kenya, I guess is one of them.
Yeah, they're rousting. Or they're getting sick of this
Chinese.
Yeah, very sick, very sick of the Chinese well,
and so the Rousteing number, something he has, it wasn't he
was actually a longer No, and it was just a lot of back. It's
just a lot of background information. Nothing though.
That's okay. Because it really it you have to understand the
whole idea of the Economic Hitman is, you know, you, you
get everything set up. You know, first of all, it's cool. If you
have the China's build roads and infrastructure, then you have to
overthrow the government. So you put in your your fighters, and
then there's a coup. And then you know, we're all done. We
have to send in some military and you know, there's all this
terrorists and al Qaeda. And then before you know it, we're
kind of running the show and the Chinese are out. That's kind of
how it works. Right.
But you leave out to one important part, which is you
have to give them a big IMF loan or something. Yeah, they can't
afford Yes. Yeah. Especially what they did to Portugal and
Spain. Yes. They the EU is the EU kind of incompetent at this.
But they decided to pull that economic hitman stunt on members
of their own organization, the European Union, and they ended
up there now they're in a mess, because it means that you don't
want to do it domestically.
But let me let me get into the African country I was interested
in, because all of a sudden I see an executive order from the
President, regarding Zimbabwe. Apparently, Zimbabwe is a threat
to our national security. And the President has said, in
accordance with the emergency I have to, you know, before what
is it March 6, he had to re up for another year National
Emergency against any executive order against Zimbabwe. And I'm
like, well, obviously, we've got an economic hit taking place in
Zimbabwe. And then I come across this story that the United
Nations investigation into a cholera outbreak in Zimbabwe is
now attributed to the United Nations force that were in
Zimbabwe.
Oh, that's interesting.
So what this means is that they are and 4000 people died. So
this is what happened in Haiti. So we had Haiti we had things
8000 people die of cholera. And now Zimbabwe so of course we've
got the you know, the EU the executive order, oh, terrorism,
whatever scary over there in Zimbabwe, but we also kill them
with cholera. I think this is a pattern. It's the economic shit
man.
That's terrible. And it was like a shaggy dog story the way he
told it. dragged it out and then there's a crummy punchline at
the end, which was a pun, but it is true. Well, yeah, no
coincidence that the UN is spreading cholera here and there
is not a good thing. No, bring him in. Again, bringing the
cholera division Yeah, the cholera
bring them in and they have these pants you know, this is
where the flapper like one guy, one guy.
Larry is taking shit over there. Caller Larry, in that river.
Down downstream washing their clothes. Yeah.
When we bring in the kicker for the field goal. He has a single
digit number on his uniform three. Oh, yeah. Anyway, Um, a
couple of things, just while we're staying on the crazy. You
know, I really do miss Hillary Clinton. Well,
I do have a clip of her replacement, and apparently
they're on to us. And if and of course, your thesis was always
that this new guy in Egypt is a stooge. Yes. Yes. If you listen
to the report from the French outlets you hear, I think this
might this may be noticed, I think it's pretty much French.
You hear what's going on. It's not really being reported too
much here.
This is a carry over there. And
the purpose of his visit is essentially to discuss regional
and international issues. We have a wide spectrum of Egyptian
leadership that is refusing to meet with him. The criticism is
coming from liberal and secular leaders. They accused Kerry and
the United States of siding with the Muslim Brotherhood, and they
accused its leader Mohamed Morsi have essentially stepping into
the same role as the ousted dictator Hosni Mubarak. Now it
is true that the United States has maintained close ties with
Morsi. But the criticism is that he is failing to implement
reforms, and at the same time, he is turning the country into a
more religiously conservative ruling system. At least two
opposition figures have refused invitations from Kenny to sit
down and hold talks with him. And this follows this week a
call by the United States for the main opposition grouping
that is known as the National Salvation Front to reverse its
decision to boycott parliamentary elections that are
due to begin next month. Yesterday, Carrie was in Ankara
telling the Turks that they need to improve their relationship
with Israel. The Turkish Prime Minister recently made the
comment that Zionism was a crime against humanity, and responded
to this Kevin's comments were objectionable. This comment
could indeed frustrate
She talks like Morse code got at that at that at AT AT AT AT AT
AT AT AT AT at S Yes. She's. Alright, so I need to talk about
Carrie. But first, I need to congratulate the chat room. Of
course, it is the designated shitter. And he has a number two
beautiful, man. I can't believe I can't believe we're nine. All
right. So Kerry, who by the way signs his name, as John F Kerry.
Is this guy pathetic? Or what he signed? Because I'm looking at
his documents and stuff. John F. Kerry.
Have you seen him walking into embassies or into media?
Yes, the duck. His head is so huge.
He's got a big head. He's tall, but but he's got the look of the
guy who finally found his place in life.
Oh, this is exactly where he wants to be. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
No, you're so right.
He's glowing?
Oh, oh, no, he, he loves this. He I mean, he has a massive
heart on every single day. He can't believe his luck. You
know, he killed Heinz. His husband took over that whole
thing. And here it is, Carrie. That's his head. It's filled
with water. So he also went to Rome. He went to Rome, to talk
with the what do you call it? The not? Not the the Syrian
Opposition Council? Oh, the Free Syrian Army? Because why?
Because? Well, first of all, that is interesting to note that
now the Iraqis are lobbing bombs and missiles into Syria. So the
Iraqi army is fighting the Syrians. Now, that's not being
reported, really. But my military industrial complex is
on it all the time. So no, that's very significant, because
I think we pretty much control the Iraqis. So the Iraqi army is
now fighting. And President Obama said, Oh, we're gonna give
some more money to to the Syrian coalition. And Assad. That's his
that's how you pronounce his name, by the way, Assad is he's
doing interviews and he's like, Oh, this is really not not very
good. It's not very constructive. So here is a carry
in Rome. The audio is kind of crappy, unfortunately. But he's
talking about how awesome he is and what we're doing and how the
President is making the $60 million available, which I have
questions about. Maybe you can help him together.
We've already been able to do a lot. We've imposed broad
sanctions on the Assad regime that dry up some of the funds
that fuel his war machine. In addition, we have supported the
Syrian Opposition Coalition
with love. He's not very good at reading yet the Syrian
opposition and coalition training
organization and some of the communications resources that
they need to reach out to the Syrian people.
I don't even know what that means communication or whatever,
like a radio station or something like that continue
to increase our humanitarian support for those who are
suffering. But today, President Obama has encouraged all of us
to embrace the notion that we need to do more. So the $60
million that I announced on his behalf today will do the
following.
So I this I take exception to this with this is like from his
stash. This is a I am giving $60 million away on the President's
behalf. I mean, does he get to do this? This is not no idea
what the structure is of this operation and whether or not he
was given a blank check.
Yeah, well, I'm gonna, we're gonna get to that because there
is at least one reporter who's not American who asked these
questions.
As you know, from your many years in the United States
Senate, and from your many years traveling the globe, the kind of
multifaceted program into 10s of millions of dollars that you've
announced here today, will take many months before it is fully
operational, and longer still, before its impacts are
discernible on the ground. As you also said today, President
Assad seems only to increase in his viciousness and his
brutality. Aren't you concerned, sir, that while you're trying to
stand up local councils and extend the rule of law in these
places in Syria, that perhaps we could see another 20,000 lives
lost?
So what he's saying and Kerry's gonna answer this is okay, you
know, so you have you talk a big game with your 60 million you're
bringing from President Obama, no one really knows me, is it it
is one of those big checks like the lottery, and it does that
work? Do you just go into Syria? And you say, Hey, here's a
check. Yeah. And so this guy is asking the right question won't
20,000 people more people die because you're trying to you're
trying to deliver this cheque, or they're trying to cash it or,
in short, as the series are sure to say, is this the best you can
do? Well, but it's a very good question. It's appropriate Well,
I am confident about our ability to be able to deliver this media
money rapidly.
So he stumbled his audio so crap, he said, to deliver this
media, I mean, money rapidly,
part part of this money, we have programmed in some of the things
that
the money is programmed, John, it's programmed. It's smart
money
we're doing now. But in addition to that, I've touch base with
key members of Congress who I think are prepared to be
helpful. And I will, I've agreed to brief them the minute I get
back from this trip.
So it sounds to me, like he just went there and just said, Hey,
just say 60 million. And then when you come back, then you
know, we'll we'll we'll cover it, and Congress will get
someone to slip it into some bill or something
will personally be engaged in that process. And so I feel very
confident about it, as does the President and his advisors in
the White House, who signed off on this knowing Oh, this would
require rapid delivery.
So he's advisors in the White House signed off on this. He's
like, so Carrie was he was stuck there for a moment. And he's he
is unlike Hillary, he is the whipping ass monkey dancing boy
of the president. Oh, well, you know, the President said it was
okay. If when you say 60 million, I'll personally see the
everything. He's advisors in the White House that it was okay for
me to say this. And I'll make sure I deliver it now. What's
crazy?
Yeah, especially if it was Hillary, she would have told the
guy to shut up
that the United Kingdom at the same time, of course, Nick
Kingdom has all kinds of interest in in that region as
well. For centuries, the United Kingdom is also sending money to
the Syrian Council opposition freedom fighter Incorporated,
LLC advertising, whatever you want to call it. And President
Assad Assad has said hey, you know these Brits, they're not
helpful. They're a bunch of eight holes. And so William
Hague is he's the foreign minister for the UK. Baldy. He's
feeling he's feeling really cocky. Well, this is a man
presiding over this slaughter. slaughter and the message to him
is we Britain are the people sending food and shelter and
blankets sending blankets. He kind
of in some in some alternate universe, isn't he actually
Julian a ball Julian Assange talk
talks in another universe. So he's sending we're sending we
the Brits are sending the blankets. I'm sorry, Hague. The
Americans we got that covered with our with our bed. Check
your blankets to help
people driven from their homes and families in his name. We are
the people sending medical supplies to try to look after
people injured and abused by the soldiers working for this man,
President Assad and Lakhdar Brahimi, the UN envoy who's a
softly spoken diplomat said that this week that Assad thinks and
is told by his inner circle that all of this is an international
conspiracy, not the actual rebellion and revolt of his own
people. So I think this will go down as one of the most
delusional interviews that any national leader has given him
multiple times.
So let me just take let me just take the opposite. And let me
say that it is an international conspiracy. And that and I think
that the journalists who are publicizing this total crap from
this Haig character should now go and interview Brad Pitt and
Angelina Jolie, who had lunch with the Assad's drunk drove
around with them and you were part of their charities. They
should go interview Anna Wintour, Vogue, who did a huge
issue all about the First Lady of Syria. And how come all of a
sudden now they're so evil in this and they did. How come they
they could do this whole profile of her and not notice it? And
please, Angelina and Brad step forward and say that you knew
it. You knew the minute you were there that he was an evil man,
he was killing his own people. Where's that interview?
Well, that's funny you'd ask. You haven't? I wish I haven't
right here behind the truck. But Marshall McLuhan and then
and then I'm just gonna wind up with this. I'm angry for you.
I'm really angry for you know, you are my my friends before me.
For you. Yes, on your behalf. I'm angry, angry, angry. I
cannot believe I just couldn't believe it. I mean, if anyone
deserved to go, it was you.
Oh yeah, I am two
trumpets blaring. Dennis Rodman was bigger news in North Korea
than its recent nuclear test yelling dear Kim Jong Un and his
wife gushed the announcer watched the basketball match
with Brian. It wasn't just basketball, there was a tour of
a dolphin aquarium ice freak. And last night a private dinner
with Kim that apparently involved more than eating a
producer from Rodman sites or Vice magazine tweeting.
So Kim Jong on just got the vice crew wasted. No, really, that
happened. This pisses me off. You wanted to drink that wine
collection when his dad was still alive. And we talked about
it. I mentioned it to uncle Don. We tried to get messages out
that it was it's a Cabernet collection, correct? Bordeaux,
Bordeaux. You know, and so now Dennis Rodman and the vice crew
gets to drink that.
I don't know that they were drinking. I think they were
smoking dope. Oh, okay. Well, then I'm legal in North Korea.
marijuana is legalized in North Korea. It's hilarious.
So. So this, of course came up now everyone's laughing. Oh,
this is so funny. I think it's brilliant. And I believe you
know, if we look at the entertainment industrial
complex, which we're very familiar with Angelina Jolie,
Brad Pitt, they were all for Syria. Oh, now they're against
Syria now. Whoa. Oh, I was and then Clooney, we need to go fix
something. Oh, we gotta go kill the Haitians. Bring in the
designated shit or bad Clooney do the prep. So all the actors
all over the place. Kim Jong Un is like, okay, you know, I can't
afford the curry. Because it's too expensive. We'll take go
second rate was the tattooed guy. He bring him over. So the
State Department is pissed off about this because they control
all of the actors. And Rodman has gone rogue and this came up
in the most recent briefing. Of course, unfortunately, Victoria
wasn't there. She's with the Waterhead traveling around
Europe. So we have the What is his name? Ven? Trell was kind of
a standing stooge. And he gets asked the question to ask
if the State Department the US government in general, plans to
debrief Mr. Dennis Rodman, or any members of his traveling
party is I think they issued an invitation for the ringleader to
ease of doing knighted states, something like that.
So this has been a topic a couple of times this week. And
you know where we are that this is a private visit by private
American citizen, Mr. Rodman does not represent the United
States. He's never been a player in our diplomacy.
Oh, he's never been a player in our diplomacy. He says this
twice. By the way. because that because all the rest are
players, they're all players. They're all players. They play
in a little play in their act and little spiel. And you know
where
we are, in general in terms of we don't have a realtor, the
North Korean people. And
listen, he's gonna tell us why you should not visit North
Korea, changes
of sports are something we do with certain countries where
maybe we don't have a good relationship. But, you know,
this is coming at a time where we've got significant activity
at the UN to work for strong federal credible response after
this nuclear test. Clearly, you've got the regime spending
money to wine and dine. Foreign visitors when the cute doesn't
our president wine and dine foreign visitors. They want
everyone has eaten mac and cheese, they should be feeding
their own people, you should be feeding your own people.
So this isn't really a time for business as usual, the DPRK
we've got we're up at the UN seeking some, you know,
significant reaction, you've got the North Koreans focused on
sort of entertainment and feeding foreigners instead of
their own people.
Yeah, like we don't like that I
and a couple of vice producers.
Like we don't do that. I mean, we roll it now we've got we've
got our first lady handing out the best movie Oscar, and this
guy has the gall to say North Korea is bad because they got a
second right basketball has been the actor player, Carmen Electra
smell and guy do some weed. Really, really quick? I mean,
and then, Patrick,
just to be clear,
we're glad to meet Mr. Dennis Rodman. We're sorry for the
second part of that, you
know, we've long said our policy long has been that there are
Americans who've been to North Korea who want to talk to us and
discuss their travel when they come back. We take their call,
we're willing to listen to them but we haven't been in touch
with this traveling party at any point in along in the process.
They haven't been in touch with us. And so we don't have any
plans in that regard. But
you know, I mean, what is that it's like and we're not
interested I mean, the guy I mean, I'd like to know like none
and if they want to call us as Okay, well listen to him. I
mean, that is hubris of the highest level you can on one
hand talk about the evil empire and like oh you so frightening
Kim Jong on Oh, you're gonna kill everybody with a nuclear
bomb. But you know Dennis Rodman was in you know, basically
hanging out bang in the hookers smoking the weed we're not
interested in knowing Oh, come on. That's farcical farcical. I
love that word. Anyway I'm disappointed for you and I think
it vice can go there Can't We?
Yeah, Vice added a whole special and I can go we can go there
through the backdoor. You go to China first and
I want to do it hello. I want the horns and everything that
Rodman got. I want the best podcast in the universe to go on
the road
had been there a couple of times and they I guess had the they
could grease the wheels. I guess. I think we can still
manage it.
Because all I want is for you to be tasting the Bordeaux. I'd
love to hang out with Kim Jong on smoke some of that sticky
weed as you say, I think be fantastic.
So there was a
I'm angry for you my friend.
I appreciate that. I'm not too pleased myself. So just the last
thing I have is a Feinstein did her gun control. meetings on the
Hill
three hours it was long.
It was good as the end where she forgot to call. She forgot that
that her setup man was sitting there patiently waiting
Blumenthal from Connecticut to and she's going to close it and
she's just damn near says that thank you for being here. This
meeting is closed and she almost did it. But then she realized
that she had screwed up because the whole dog and pony show is
just about to begin but here half of the play that forgets
Blumenthal clip
for your service to our country. We're going to Oh, Senator
Blumenthal take some extra time. I am so sorry. Well, you know,
thank you,
Madam Chairman. Thank you. I I know that in the Senate freshman
senators are supposed to be seen and not heard. But I'm happy to
be heard today you've got it. I want to begin by thanking you
madam chairman for can kill
it. Because for the next for the next five minutes all he does is
kiss her ass. Oh, yeah. But then But then I think shameful
display I've ever seen in a congressional hearing follows
and it was also an interesting comment he makes with the with
the clip CT Senator.
Okay. It's not, it's not loading for some reason. Hold on.
And the simple blunt fact is that this issue was thought to
be politically untouchable two months ago. We would not be here
today without the horrific Newtown tragedy. So I want to
begin by asking my fellow citizens of Connecticut, most
particularly, the members of the New Town community, Sandy Hook,
promise the Newtown Action Alliance, as well as the
families who had victims to please stand so that we can
thank you publicly for your courage and your strength in
this extraordinary historic moment. Thank you. Let's give
them a round of applause. What? Wow.
First of all, he admits it the whole gun control thing stems
from the event. Yeah, wouldn't have happened at all. Yeah, when
it happened at all, no chance. But luckily, luckily for the and
here's our here's our, you know, our people that made it
possible. It's like, wow, I'm surprised it didn't bow. They
would on the stage.
All you needed to say is, as always for joining us. Good to
be here, bro. That's all you got to say. It's all you need. Just
throw out a broth. All right. So in in final closing,
well, you know, we forgot to do I didn't forget to short report,
but I gotta do my New York Times report.
How funny is that? I told you if you tried to remind me of it
that we'd forget.
Yes, I made the mistake.
John's gonna hum the Sunday Times.
Report for this week. All right. Last week, Sunday, New York
Times weighed one pound, 11.6 ounces. Today's Sunday Times
when you remove the local insert weighed one pound 7.6 ounces.
That is my report for this Sunday.
Wait a minute, so you're telling me it is exactly the same? Wait.
No, you weren't listening? No, I wasn't listening.
First one last week was one pound 11 ounces. point six. This
week is one pound 7.6 is four ounces lighter.
John's gonna hum the Sunday. Yes. I wanted to say that I had
read the entire Bradley Manning speech as transcribed. And I
have to say I thought it was very good what he said and I
have concluded that the entire problem in this Bradley Manning
case is that there was a Freedom of Information Act request for
this helicopter shooting footage, which was denied. And
that that is the real issue here is that he had that when he
released it he got it out. This is what the the the Stasi
government will not have. If they say no to a Freedom of
Information Act, it cannot get out it will not get out and he
will go to jail for this. I do want to ask my friends in the
lesbian, gay, trans and transgender and bisexual
community. Where is the outrage over the treatment of Bradley
Manning as a gay man? Where I mean if if, if any if who's the
who's the Chaz? Bono? If Chaz Bono falls on Dancing with the
Stars and breaks a nail the whole lesbian gay transgender
bisexual community is up in arms and outrage. This guy was
treated so poorly. So poorly. Get there's not a single fag or
dyke who was on his side. I'm very disappointed. really
disappointed by it. And I want you to think about it.
And there you have it. Another no agenda show.
Don't say it. Don't you dare say in the cam.
I wasn't gonna say in the can because I'll have to unleash
that designated
designated shooter. I'm gonna unleash him on you. Are you

Yes. Oh good.
Oh, watch good. That's always fun to watch. Make sure you plug
the show.
I always plugged the show.
