And 49 00:02:47,910 --> 00:02:49,560 I feel like a new man 50 00:02:50,310 --> 00:02:55,560 because it will put seniors in a position of being put to death 51 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:56,550 by their government. 52 00:02:57,810 --> 00:03:00,360 Well, if you're gonna go into that direction, let's start off 53 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,600 the show by bringing up some Sebelius quotes that came from 54 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:05,460 last Sunday morning friend Sebelius 55 00:03:05,460 --> 00:03:08,760 I have not seen anything being a south of Ibiza. 56 00:03:09,570 --> 00:03:16,860 She it she is creepy. Let's play. I didn't want to play the 57 00:03:16,860 --> 00:03:20,040 whole thing. But she spent she's obviously one of the people in 58 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:23,760 the notes would go into a talk show and to just repeat herself 59 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,940 and like so do you think it's going to be hard on old people? 60 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,090 Well, I think it could be hard on old people it's going to be 61 00:03:30,090 --> 00:03:33,210 hard on a lot of people because it's just a difficult situation 62 00:03:33,210 --> 00:03:35,910 because it's going to be so difficult and hard on especially 63 00:03:35,910 --> 00:03:38,220 old people and people that aren't that old but people are 64 00:03:38,220 --> 00:03:40,860 really old and maybe some people you know that kind of thing. yak 65 00:03:40,860 --> 00:03:41,190 yak. 66 00:03:41,220 --> 00:03:44,580 Yeah. Sebelius, of course, is the director of Health and Human 67 00:03:44,580 --> 00:03:45,570 Services services. 68 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:50,910 Okay. She reminds me to an annoying degree of of Carly 69 00:03:50,910 --> 00:03:56,430 Fiorina. Same patronising style of talking down to you. 70 00:03:56,460 --> 00:04:00,660 Isn't she from California? Isn't she from the west? Sebelius? No, 71 00:04:00,660 --> 00:04:03,240 no, he had to look it up. Okay. Okay. So this is 72 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:05,190 not going to play the whole thing. But I just want to play a 73 00:04:05,190 --> 00:04:08,760 couple of things. I want you to play play Sebelius open to five. 74 00:04:08,850 --> 00:04:12,480 Secretary Sebelius. Thanks for joining us. Good morning, Jake. 75 00:04:12,570 --> 00:04:15,030 A critics say they're uneasy about end of life care measures 76 00:04:15,030 --> 00:04:18,090 being discussed within the context of cost cutting. Can you 77 00:04:18,090 --> 00:04:20,070 understand that discomfort? 78 00:04:20,670 --> 00:04:23,970 Well, I think end of life discussions are very, very 79 00:04:23,970 --> 00:04:27,720 personal and very difficult, very difficult for family 80 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:32,070 members very difficult often, for people to confront and my 81 00:04:32,070 --> 00:04:32,940 own mother's fan. 82 00:04:33,660 --> 00:04:37,440 Right there. She goes off the deep end. She spends five or six 83 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,440 minutes on, it's you know, it's very difficult for young people. 84 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,660 It's very difficult for old people is very difficult for 85 00:04:42,660 --> 00:04:44,100 families. It's very difficult for her. 86 00:04:45,990 --> 00:04:47,550 She doesn't answer the question, 87 00:04:47,670 --> 00:04:51,990 though. She never answers the question. But, but it's actually 88 00:04:51,990 --> 00:04:55,200 worse with some of these other ones but here's one. This kind 89 00:04:55,200 --> 00:05:01,710 of caught my attention because this was With a call, I think 90 00:05:01,710 --> 00:05:05,280 it's the, I think it's payment or payment. Now it will be for 91 00:05:05,280 --> 00:05:09,660 me, I set this up, there's a clip called payment. And I, 92 00:05:09,750 --> 00:05:12,300 there's a bunch of people talking about the health care 93 00:05:12,330 --> 00:05:16,980 stuff. And how Obama actually paved the way to push health 94 00:05:16,980 --> 00:05:20,040 care by doing deals. First, they analyse what happened with 95 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:24,480 Hillary and the people that push back, the AMA, they help the 96 00:05:24,810 --> 00:05:27,810 insurance companies, the doctors themselves, everybody, all these 97 00:05:27,810 --> 00:05:30,150 people that wouldn't allow that thing happen. So they fought 98 00:05:30,150 --> 00:05:34,620 against it. So the idea was that Obama was going to pave the way. 99 00:05:34,650 --> 00:05:37,770 In other words, you know, set the stage do the due diligence 100 00:05:37,770 --> 00:05:40,560 to get these guys on board before he presented anything. 101 00:05:41,220 --> 00:05:45,390 And apparently, now, you know, the the health care, insurance 102 00:05:45,390 --> 00:05:48,630 companies, the doctors, the everybody's on board, except the 103 00:05:48,630 --> 00:05:54,390 public, which is kind of the missing link here. Now, I'm sure 104 00:05:54,420 --> 00:05:57,570 what I'm looking for now, and I advise anybody else to look for 105 00:05:57,570 --> 00:06:01,530 is what was the quid pro quo, because obviously, these people 106 00:06:01,530 --> 00:06:03,420 aren't going to just yeah, whatever. We didn't like it 107 00:06:03,420 --> 00:06:05,820 before. But since you're gonna do it, we're gonna just be on 108 00:06:05,820 --> 00:06:06,480 board with you. 109 00:06:07,260 --> 00:06:09,540 What do you mean, we didn't like it before? We didn't like what 110 00:06:09,540 --> 00:06:09,780 Well, 111 00:06:09,810 --> 00:06:12,600 seeing during the Hillary thing, all these people were against 112 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,270 the essentially the same health care programme that she tried to 113 00:06:15,270 --> 00:06:15,690 enter wasn't 114 00:06:15,690 --> 00:06:19,680 exactly the same idea. Radically. Okay. Yeah, the point 115 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:19,860 is, 116 00:06:19,860 --> 00:06:23,550 is that they did some deal with all these people. And I've been 117 00:06:23,550 --> 00:06:26,010 trying to figure out what some of these deals were and she 118 00:06:26,010 --> 00:06:29,220 gives it away in this long winded I believe me, you don't 119 00:06:29,220 --> 00:06:31,830 want to play that show would be over? As she answered that 120 00:06:31,830 --> 00:06:34,410 question. That was the opening question. But she slips it in 121 00:06:34,950 --> 00:06:38,430 what it was, and I think this was the quid pro quo for doctors 122 00:06:38,730 --> 00:06:41,490 and play payment, and then I'll explain it. Okay. So 123 00:06:41,490 --> 00:06:45,240 let me just understand what we're talking about. So how do 124 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:48,780 we get everyone to be on board? Not the public, but all the 125 00:06:48,780 --> 00:06:51,960 doctors the everyone who was going to be a part of this 126 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:55,290 companies. Everyone, everyone on board. Now, of course, we know 127 00:06:55,290 --> 00:06:58,440 that Obama did a deal with the with the with the health care 128 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:03,330 providers for 80 $80 billion. Right. But here's the setup. And 129 00:07:03,330 --> 00:07:04,950 Sebelius lets it slip, 130 00:07:05,130 --> 00:07:09,900 doctors would have a, a payment provided to sit down with family 131 00:07:09,900 --> 00:07:13,410 members if they choose and, and have a discussion, we were 132 00:07:13,410 --> 00:07:16,170 desperate to do that there were way too many specialists in and 133 00:07:16,170 --> 00:07:19,650 out of the room and way too little time to actually sit with 134 00:07:19,650 --> 00:07:21,300 someone to try to understand, 135 00:07:21,330 --> 00:07:24,480 okay, so it's like a consultancy fee. 136 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:29,190 Show in the olden days, when you were dying, or your mom was 137 00:07:29,190 --> 00:07:31,110 dying or something was happening, the doctor would talk 138 00:07:31,110 --> 00:07:33,240 to you about it. And about you could do this, that and the 139 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:37,530 other thing. But now they get paid. I mean, normally, they 140 00:07:37,530 --> 00:07:39,390 would just do this, because this is kind of their 141 00:07:39,420 --> 00:07:42,090 jobs or public service, we'll just we'll talk about all the 142 00:07:42,090 --> 00:07:44,160 options. And we'll sit down. And before when you 143 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,980 talk to your doctor, usually he's not charging you by the 144 00:07:47,010 --> 00:07:51,450 hour. You know, and so now they've set this thing up. This 145 00:07:51,450 --> 00:07:53,760 is what this whole end of life thing was all about. It's got 146 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,430 nothing to do with end of life. It's a payoff. It's another 147 00:07:56,430 --> 00:07:57,390 insurance code. 148 00:07:59,220 --> 00:08:02,070 Yeah, so just a basically a bribe. It's like now when the 149 00:08:02,070 --> 00:08:04,440 doctor says, Well, I think your mom should probably be taken to 150 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:08,190 an old folks home. Now they can build the government for just 151 00:08:08,190 --> 00:08:10,650 telling you that because that's the whole thing was the scam 152 00:08:10,650 --> 00:08:13,560 that suckered all these or not sucker, but got the AMA and the 153 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:15,930 doctors on board. It's like, Look, you guys are spending a 154 00:08:15,930 --> 00:08:19,980 lot of time with this, we can now pay you. You risk complete 155 00:08:19,980 --> 00:08:21,540 completely are just unbelievable. 156 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:23,850 No, it's totally believable, 157 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:28,680 because it will not put seniors in a position of being put to 158 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:30,030 death by their government. 159 00:08:30,300 --> 00:08:34,350 Unless you get paid for it. It is now insurance company code 160 00:08:34,350 --> 00:08:36,150 59732. 161 00:08:36,809 --> 00:08:39,239 So now they get paid for this. This anyway, I assume that 162 00:08:39,239 --> 00:08:41,219 everyone there's a lot of these little things you have to read 163 00:08:41,219 --> 00:08:43,319 between the lines. And it's pretty hard to do. Because you 164 00:08:43,319 --> 00:08:46,769 have to listen to people like Sebelius who just ramble 165 00:08:46,769 --> 00:08:49,889 forever, but you're repeating yourself. And she talks real 166 00:08:49,889 --> 00:08:52,619 slow like this. And very deliberately, she reminds me of 167 00:08:52,619 --> 00:08:55,679 that woman that was on the SEC, who is trying to answer 168 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,259 questions as to how the Madoff thing happened. And she was the 169 00:08:58,259 --> 00:09:05,969 same condescending, creepy, bureaucratic woman that bears 170 00:09:06,059 --> 00:09:09,599 her name. Now one of the two, there's a couple of them. But 171 00:09:09,599 --> 00:09:12,539 anyway, now here's a here's a good example. This is another 172 00:09:12,569 --> 00:09:17,519 clip. And this is a clip of Sebelius again on this show. And 173 00:09:17,519 --> 00:09:19,889 we're there and apparently I'm guessing that on a lot of these 174 00:09:19,889 --> 00:09:23,369 morning shows, there's a new guy taken over just substituting for 175 00:09:23,459 --> 00:09:26,999 Stephanopoulos named Jake something. forgot his last name, 176 00:09:27,029 --> 00:09:32,099 Jake. Jake, it seems to me that, you know, if he had listened to 177 00:09:32,099 --> 00:09:34,859 the answer to his question, his own question, he would have 178 00:09:34,859 --> 00:09:37,139 followed up and said, Well, you didn't answer my question 179 00:09:37,139 --> 00:09:40,979 because he doesn't answer it. But I think these people come on 180 00:09:41,519 --> 00:09:44,399 to these morning shows. I just get the sense of this because he 181 00:09:44,399 --> 00:09:49,379 see it too often. And they there's a rule you cannot hound 182 00:09:49,379 --> 00:09:52,439 somebody for the answer to a question they didn't answer. And 183 00:09:52,439 --> 00:09:55,709 in fact, that happened later in the same show where, where there 184 00:09:55,709 --> 00:09:58,079 were a couple of politicians that weren't answering the 185 00:09:58,079 --> 00:10:00,179 questions and the two politicians went after each 186 00:10:00,179 --> 00:10:02,009 other, but the host wouldn't say anything. 187 00:10:02,220 --> 00:10:05,190 That's the whole the all the Sunday morning shows no one ever 188 00:10:05,190 --> 00:10:08,610 answers. The question isn't that they never answer it at all, 189 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:09,270 ever. 190 00:10:09,900 --> 00:10:13,380 In some funny way they answer it by not answering it. But so play 191 00:10:13,380 --> 00:10:14,940 keep old plan. 192 00:10:16,049 --> 00:10:19,169 Oops, I'm sorry, I fucked that up online. Here we go. 193 00:10:19,409 --> 00:10:21,839 But how can the administration make the promise that if you 194 00:10:21,839 --> 00:10:25,409 like your insurance plan, you can keep it when CBO and other 195 00:10:25,529 --> 00:10:28,829 analysts estimate that some people will be switched from 196 00:10:28,829 --> 00:10:29,879 private to public? 197 00:10:30,179 --> 00:10:33,209 Well, I think Jake, if you if you think about a marketplace 198 00:10:33,209 --> 00:10:38,519 option, and new plans being created in Toledo, Ohio, or in 199 00:10:38,519 --> 00:10:42,029 California or in Florida, the network of doctors is likely to 200 00:10:42,029 --> 00:10:46,289 be pretty identical. A lot of plans exist in the same 201 00:10:46,289 --> 00:10:51,299 marketplace. And doctors are part of a variety of networks. 202 00:10:51,299 --> 00:10:55,019 So the idea that you would keep your own doctor is highly 203 00:10:55,019 --> 00:10:58,409 likely. The other thing about the the new marketplace is I 204 00:10:58,409 --> 00:11:01,409 think the President is eager to stabilise the employer 205 00:11:01,409 --> 00:11:04,109 marketplace. Small business owners right now are dropping 206 00:11:04,109 --> 00:11:08,369 coverage because they can't any longer afford it, they can't 207 00:11:08,609 --> 00:11:11,729 stay in the market with the new tax incentives that are part of 208 00:11:11,729 --> 00:11:14,909 health reform, small business owners would be encouraged to 209 00:11:14,909 --> 00:11:17,339 actually stabilise their insurance. 210 00:11:17,429 --> 00:11:20,189 So in other words, yeah, you won't be able to keep your 211 00:11:20,189 --> 00:11:22,889 doctor but you probably will get your doctor because these these 212 00:11:22,889 --> 00:11:25,289 doctors are all part of the network. They're all part. Yeah. 213 00:11:25,290 --> 00:11:28,230 But question was, can you keep your old plan? It had nothing to 214 00:11:28,230 --> 00:11:31,920 do with keeping your old doctor that was assumed? She never 215 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,080 answers the question. She doesn't even come close. She 216 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,900 goes right off the track immediately. And then I like the 217 00:11:36,900 --> 00:11:39,120 wishes. You know, it could be like, you know, the weather 218 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:42,480 changing things in Toledo, Ohio, or California. It's 219 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:43,440 the old politician. 220 00:11:43,859 --> 00:11:44,939 Just stalling. 221 00:11:44,999 --> 00:11:49,769 Yeah, I know. I recently a man came up to me. His name was Pete 222 00:11:49,769 --> 00:11:52,889 and he's from Toledo, Ohio. And he said, Can I keep my old plan? 223 00:11:52,889 --> 00:11:57,269 He said, Well, your doctor will be a part of the network. It's 224 00:11:57,269 --> 00:11:58,199 unbelievable. 225 00:11:59,580 --> 00:12:02,730 You wonder why people are up in arms is because these guys, this 226 00:12:02,940 --> 00:12:07,500 group of people are the biggest double talkers. I've seen. I 227 00:12:07,500 --> 00:12:09,210 mean, they're worse than the bush people the bush because 228 00:12:09,210 --> 00:12:12,060 they Well, screw. Yeah. I mean, they were at least pretty blunt. 229 00:12:12,570 --> 00:12:14,550 Well, let's just double talk 230 00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:17,790 on the thing that people have to understand. And I think 231 00:12:17,790 --> 00:12:20,520 listeners of this show are kind of catching on. But the 232 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,670 discussion is just being taken away from what's really going 233 00:12:23,670 --> 00:12:31,680 on, is that healthcare is 1718, almost a fifth of our, of our 234 00:12:31,680 --> 00:12:37,680 economy. It's a huge amount of money. And all of the the 235 00:12:37,710 --> 00:12:40,320 insurance companies, which of course, is Wall Street, 236 00:12:40,560 --> 00:12:43,680 pharmaceutical companies, they've all done it, they have 237 00:12:43,680 --> 00:12:47,280 bought and paid for every single politician, including our 238 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:50,460 president, and now they're coming they're coming for their 239 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,130 for their druthers, they're coming for the payoff. And this 240 00:12:53,130 --> 00:12:56,760 is what it's been about. This is what as you said, Hillary 241 00:12:56,760 --> 00:13:00,180 Clinton tried to do when she was the first lady, I might add, she 242 00:13:00,180 --> 00:13:00,630 wasn't 243 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:02,220 a politician was even 244 00:13:02,220 --> 00:13:06,840 a public lawyer. She was just just a lawyer and a wife who got 245 00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:12,120 cheated on. And, and was clearly a part of the plan. This is all 246 00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:16,080 about money. And we don't see it anymore. We just gloss over it. 247 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,720 And I do love the fact that people are standing up and I 248 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,210 think it's right when people are saying give me my country back. 249 00:13:21,660 --> 00:13:23,700 Because they're starting to catch on, you know, hey, wait a 250 00:13:23,700 --> 00:13:26,280 minute, this, this is not about health care. This is about the 251 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:31,530 system being so broken, so morally bankrupt, that we're 252 00:13:31,530 --> 00:13:36,210 just we're not even talking about the real issue anymore. 253 00:13:37,590 --> 00:13:41,310 I think these people should stay off the air. If they're going to 254 00:13:41,310 --> 00:13:44,100 be this way with these kinds of answers they need. In other 255 00:13:44,100 --> 00:13:48,210 words, non answers over this long patronising in Ohio and 256 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:52,770 Florida and California. And, you know, on and on and on droning 257 00:13:52,770 --> 00:13:55,800 under me You have no idea how boring this woman is with this, 258 00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:59,040 but it's so patronising and smug and then she doesn't answer the 259 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:03,720 questions. It's just really bugs me just, you know, stay off the 260 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:07,950 air. Don't do these shows. You don't have to go up there and 261 00:14:07,950 --> 00:14:08,340 yeah. 262 00:14:10,560 --> 00:14:13,680 I'm sorry, John. I had to get something really important. 263 00:14:15,090 --> 00:14:18,780 Tough times in the porn industry reports the Los Angeles Times. 264 00:14:19,950 --> 00:14:24,090 the porn industry is broke. John. It's gotten so bad that 265 00:14:24,090 --> 00:14:28,410 Savannah, you know, Savannah, right. Savannah Stern is doing 266 00:14:28,410 --> 00:14:32,520 seven hours of standing around naked for a hustler party in 267 00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:35,790 Santa Monica for 300 bucks. There is no more porn being 268 00:14:35,790 --> 00:14:38,790 produced. John, this is a serious problem, though. 269 00:14:40,500 --> 00:14:43,050 Yeah, yeah. In addition parties up here. 270 00:14:43,500 --> 00:14:46,080 We could get Savannah for three. Hey, that's what finally we have 271 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:49,380 a use for this money. Let's get Savannah up to San Francisco. 272 00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:51,600 Excellent idea. I love it. 273 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,610 You know, there has to be a couple of porn stars around here 274 00:14:56,610 --> 00:14:59,280 that would stand around naked for 300 bucks for five or six 275 00:14:59,280 --> 00:14:59,730 hours. 276 00:14:59,880 --> 00:15:02,940 I I think, yeah, well, we could get one at your place one at my 277 00:15:02,940 --> 00:15:05,520 place just for an hour and a half during the show. Just stand 278 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:06,180 around naked. 279 00:15:06,210 --> 00:15:11,100 I'm standing there. And can you get me some tea? Sure. 280 00:15:14,250 --> 00:15:16,920 This is this is really, this is really a problem. 281 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,700 Bogus stories, you're not standing around for six hours 282 00:15:20,700 --> 00:15:21,600 for 300 bucks, 283 00:15:21,630 --> 00:15:24,930 at least five of the top 100 websites in the US are portals 284 00:15:24,930 --> 00:15:27,900 for free pornography, which of course is a good thing for the 285 00:15:27,900 --> 00:15:32,310 consumer referred to in the industry as tube sites. 286 00:15:32,940 --> 00:15:36,870 According to internet traffic ranking service alexa.com, which 287 00:15:36,870 --> 00:15:39,270 of course, which is not very good. No, in this case is 288 00:15:39,270 --> 00:15:42,600 actually appropriate because Alexa is used by system admins. 289 00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:45,870 And of course, these are the guys love them dearly. But you 290 00:15:45,870 --> 00:15:48,960 know, what our system admins doing all day downloading porn. 291 00:15:49,650 --> 00:15:52,770 Some of the content is amateur work uploaded by users, which of 292 00:15:52,770 --> 00:15:55,440 course is the way that's the wave of the future. 293 00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:58,740 Who are all these people? Have you ever thought about that? You 294 00:15:59,010 --> 00:16:01,260 you've stumbled onto one he said, there's like a million 295 00:16:01,260 --> 00:16:04,320 people, you know, naked, doing all kinds of weird things. And 296 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:07,410 you have to say, Do I actually know any of these people? Are 297 00:16:07,410 --> 00:16:10,980 they working in the in the cubicle next to me? Are they in 298 00:16:11,010 --> 00:16:14,310 the city? I mean, there's so what is the hundreds of 1000s of 299 00:16:14,310 --> 00:16:17,820 people that are exposing themselves? 300 00:16:18,570 --> 00:16:22,710 I think it's a very good development. I'm all for it. 301 00:16:23,070 --> 00:16:27,930 There's nothing wrong with that. I do have something that goes 302 00:16:27,930 --> 00:16:34,530 right along with that. John, Sir David Attenborough. The famous 303 00:16:34,530 --> 00:16:41,220 British broadcaster, explore et cetera, has discovered a new 304 00:16:41,430 --> 00:16:48,210 species of carnivores plant. It is a giant meat eating plant so 305 00:16:48,210 --> 00:16:54,270 big it can actually eat small rodents. And they found this on 306 00:16:54,270 --> 00:16:57,870 their expedition in the Philippines. So now they're, 307 00:16:59,070 --> 00:17:03,090 they've given it a name, the Nepenthez Attenborough ally, and 308 00:17:03,090 --> 00:17:06,870 Bri Of course, named after Sir David Attenborough. This thing 309 00:17:06,870 --> 00:17:13,710 is outrageous. A plant that eats rodents. It's almost like what 310 00:17:13,710 --> 00:17:15,990 was the name of that? That movie? Like a Rocky Horror 311 00:17:15,990 --> 00:17:22,260 Picture Show Movie? Little Rocky Horror, Little Shop of Horrors. 312 00:17:22,500 --> 00:17:28,590 Here. Take a look at it. This is the BBC it's an awesome plant. 313 00:17:30,300 --> 00:17:33,510 And it's kind of freaky, though. Anything that? Is this a new 314 00:17:33,510 --> 00:17:37,200 plant? I mean, has it been around for a while? Is it just 315 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:39,720 everybody looking? Is this evolution? 316 00:17:40,770 --> 00:17:42,990 Well, it's like there's a similar look and plant that eats 317 00:17:42,990 --> 00:17:46,950 flies. Yeah, it looks like a funnel and flies are attracted 318 00:17:46,950 --> 00:17:50,310 to some goo inside and then they go down and they find yourself 319 00:17:50,310 --> 00:17:55,200 stuck in there. It's a pitcher plant to just a large pitcher 320 00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:55,620 plant 321 00:17:55,650 --> 00:17:58,680 right except I wonder if you stick your hand in there will 322 00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:00,090 happen well, I mean, does it How 323 00:18:00,090 --> 00:18:02,790 does it get crap all over your hands?

These are very slow processes. plants aren't 329 00:18:13,710 --> 00:18:14,550 fast moving. 330 00:18:16,260 --> 00:18:17,070 You right. 331 00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:18,960 Sounds like chewing them up. 332 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:24,690 Well, that's kind of the dream. Yeah, right. That's much much 333 00:18:24,690 --> 00:18:24,990 much 334 00:18:25,020 --> 00:18:29,460 more interesting in the same articles is unidentified?

I found a clip and maybe this is what you had seen 340 00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:48,450 on Current TV but just because we were harping on Laura Ling 341 00:18:48,450 --> 00:18:53,070 and Euna Lee, these of course, the two reporters who were 342 00:18:53,100 --> 00:18:58,050 dumbfounded and shocked that they were taken into custody 343 00:18:58,050 --> 00:19:03,180 sneaking across the border of North Korea. And of course, we 344 00:19:03,180 --> 00:19:06,750 now know that this is a total current TV setup to get some 345 00:19:06,750 --> 00:19:10,500 more ratings because their IPO failed and Al Gore called his 346 00:19:10,500 --> 00:19:12,780 buddy bill and said hey man, hook us up.

Laura and Yuna return 356 00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:42,630 home 357 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:47,880 to all of the people who supported you and me throughout 358 00:19:47,910 --> 00:19:52,590 the nearly five months that we are in. We were in captivity. We 359 00:19:52,590 --> 00:19:52,980 wanted to 360 00:19:53,610 --> 00:19:58,470 keep listening to her. It's all the letters and postcards you 361 00:19:58,530 --> 00:20:03,060 sent us. gave us strength to endure the difficult time. Well, 362 00:20:03,060 --> 00:20:05,400 you really you really got to watch it though, John. Because 363 00:20:05,970 --> 00:20:09,030 what's her name? Laura? I guess she's on Alicia. She's so 364 00:20:09,030 --> 00:20:12,480 sincere. I mean, yeah, sure to kind of suck being in a hotel 365 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:15,510 for four and a half months. But still, you crossed the border of 366 00:20:15,510 --> 00:20:17,610 North Korea to do a story. 367 00:20:19,350 --> 00:20:23,460 Yeah, like you just said we would receive letters and, and 368 00:20:23,460 --> 00:20:26,760 they were getting mailed letters, how much people were 369 00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:30,480 supporting us. We learned about this grassroots movement on 370 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:34,470 Facebook, about people writing into their congressmen to 371 00:20:34,860 --> 00:20:39,060 the grassroots movement on Facebook. Don't you love 372 00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:43,320 these? This? These people make me sick? 373 00:20:44,070 --> 00:20:45,120 Wait, there's more. 374 00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:50,400 We learned about the blog site liberate Laura. And 375 00:20:51,210 --> 00:20:54,450 which I think is also a porn movie liberate Laura, I'm not 376 00:20:54,450 --> 00:20:55,680 too sure. I think I've seen 377 00:20:55,680 --> 00:21:00,480 that all around the country. These rituals were taking place 378 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:04,440 around the time of our trial. And we thought about those 379 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:10,710 lights. And, and they gave us hope. And we are so so very 380 00:21:10,710 --> 00:21:12,840 grateful for all of your love and support. 381 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:18,000 We're so happy to be back with our families. So it was a tough 382 00:21:18,030 --> 00:21:26,850 time in our lives. And we will see you in time. But right now 383 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:30,330 we want to go back to our normal life. And 384 00:21:31,020 --> 00:21:33,960 oh, so what they're saying is the special is coming so they're 385 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,180 producing the big special Java Yeah, 386 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:40,740 there'll be a book deal two Oh, book deal. It'll be you're gonna 387 00:21:40,740 --> 00:21:42,990 get a Pulitzer Of course, of course. 388 00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:48,780 But but in the meantime, we just had to say thank you, and 389 00:21:48,780 --> 00:21:52,800 express our deepest gratitude. We are so so humbled. Thank you. 390 00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:53,130 So 391 00:21:53,130 --> 00:21:54,090 so so 392 00:21:54,120 --> 00:21:56,790 so, so so so so 393 00:21:57,090 --> 00:21:59,700 they like to use the word so so 394 00:21:59,940 --> 00:22:02,520 that's that's to say it's not just a little it's so 395 00:22:03,090 --> 00:22:06,750 it's, it's a lot so nice. It's so good. It's so just like you 396 00:22:06,750 --> 00:22:13,440 know, blather Georgia lawmakers, the Georgia lawmaker calls for 397 00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:17,550 the caning and execution of marijuana offenders. 398 00:22:18,780 --> 00:22:22,560 Gee, I quit just in time. Representative Benton 399 00:22:22,650 --> 00:22:27,240 from Georgia. Tommy Benton looks like a character when you see 400 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:31,650 him he's on his own on his own websites he's yakking away. I am 401 00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,410 opposed to the legalisation of marijuana. He says I think we 402 00:22:34,410 --> 00:22:38,910 should go to caning for people caught using it and maybe 403 00:22:38,940 --> 00:22:40,470 execute dealers. 404 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:43,830 Fantastic. He says it 405 00:22:43,830 --> 00:22:47,130 works in Singapore. I like it people will always rationalise 406 00:22:47,130 --> 00:22:51,030 things work in Singapore. Singapore is a fascist state is 407 00:22:51,030 --> 00:22:52,320 that what you want? 408 00:22:54,270 --> 00:22:56,130 A good caning is nice from 409 00:22:56,190 --> 00:22:59,610 there's no guns in Singapore either Benton you want that to 410 00:22:59,610 --> 00:23:03,150 you want to you know get rid of all the guns in the world. 411 00:23:03,180 --> 00:23:04,680 Is he a Democrat or Republican? 412 00:23:06,510 --> 00:23:11,970 Well, let's see. He's a I think he's well i if off the top of my 413 00:23:11,970 --> 00:23:15,450 head I guessing he's a Republican who probably doesn't 414 00:23:15,450 --> 00:23:19,350 want guns either. So they should all you gun guys. You should 415 00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:22,200 write him a nasty note because obviously we think Singapore is 416 00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:24,780 that solution. But 417 00:23:25,170 --> 00:23:30,180 here's a story that we missed John and he's a Republican. Yeah 418 00:23:30,180 --> 00:23:35,070 figures. This is from our buddy Andrew or Loski from the 419 00:23:35,070 --> 00:23:44,520 register. This is quite amazing to me. The cru, the climactic 420 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:50,190 Research Unit, which of course, has provided the global climate 421 00:23:50,190 --> 00:23:55,260 data set which is the most cited surface temperature record kept 422 00:23:55,920 --> 00:24:00,780 by the IPCC from the UN. So basically, this is the data that 423 00:24:00,870 --> 00:24:05,220 the phoney baloney scientists I just I can't wait for the email. 424 00:24:05,460 --> 00:24:09,300 The phoney baloney scientists of the United Nations IPCC of which 425 00:24:09,300 --> 00:24:12,750 not all were climatologist, and of course, there's now you know, 426 00:24:12,780 --> 00:24:16,530 eight 9000 other real climatologist who are against 427 00:24:16,530 --> 00:24:19,590 this research. So this was the research that was used that led 428 00:24:19,590 --> 00:24:23,070 to eventually An Inconvenient Truth and, of course, all the 429 00:24:23,070 --> 00:24:28,770 way down to the cap and trade legislation and has sparked all 430 00:24:28,770 --> 00:24:33,360 this global warming unrest. They say they no longer have the raw 431 00:24:33,360 --> 00:24:39,930 data. They don't have the raw data anymore. There was a number 432 00:24:39,930 --> 00:24:42,420 of freedom of information requests that were submitted. 433 00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:47,130 For the raw data of USA they they're the ones that keep all 434 00:24:47,130 --> 00:24:51,270 the historical data have surface temperatures, and here was what 435 00:24:51,270 --> 00:24:54,390 they say. We are not in a position to supply data for a 436 00:24:54,390 --> 00:24:57,030 particular country not covered by the example agreements 437 00:24:57,030 --> 00:25:00,120 referred to earlier, as we have never had sufficient we use 438 00:25:00,120 --> 00:25:03,390 sources to keep track of the exact source of each individual 439 00:25:03,390 --> 00:25:08,520 monthly value. Apparently they don't have USB drives. Since the 440 00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:11,820 1980s. We have merged the data that we have received into 441 00:25:11,820 --> 00:25:16,170 existing series or begun new ones. So it's impossible to say 442 00:25:16,170 --> 00:25:19,020 if all stations with a particular country or if all 443 00:25:19,020 --> 00:25:21,510 individual records would be freely available data and 444 00:25:21,510 --> 00:25:25,440 storage availability in the 1980s meant we were not able to 445 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:29,400 keep the multiple sources for sites, only the station series 446 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:34,470 after adjustment for hump homogeneity issues. We therefore 447 00:25:34,470 --> 00:25:38,370 do not looking at homogeneity with I think I've done that with 448 00:25:38,370 --> 00:25:41,550 someone who wants we therefore do not hold the original raw 449 00:25:41,550 --> 00:25:46,230 data, but only the value added ie homogenised data. 450 00:25:48,870 --> 00:25:51,240 manipulated want to use that word? Yeah. 451 00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:54,330 Oh, that just blows me away. 452 00:25:54,360 --> 00:25:56,010 That's a good one from orlofsky. 453 00:25:56,190 --> 00:25:58,290 That's the fence. It's awesome. 454 00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:02,160 So it's weird that you had to read stuff like that in the 455 00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:03,060 register? 456 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:07,620 Well, I read the register a lot because it rocks. Because it's 457 00:26:07,620 --> 00:26:08,910 such a great publication. 458 00:26:08,910 --> 00:26:11,970 But it seems to me, you know, can we donate to the register 459 00:26:11,970 --> 00:26:14,700 how to make money? They make plenty, but they make more money 460 00:26:14,700 --> 00:26:18,090 than we do. Oh, really? Should be donating to us. 461 00:26:19,950 --> 00:26:24,060 So yeah, so the headline is global warming eight my data, 462 00:26:24,180 --> 00:26:28,050 we've lost the numbers as cru. As they respond to Freedom of 463 00:26:28,050 --> 00:26:31,020 Information request, the world's source for global temperature 464 00:26:31,020 --> 00:26:34,320 records, admits it's lost or destroyed all the original data 465 00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:37,950 that would allow third party lost or destroyed. Yeah. Well, 466 00:26:37,950 --> 00:26:41,400 that's what he said jobs lost or destroyed, data lost or 467 00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:44,700 destroyed. So this is the actual data that spawned this whole 468 00:26:44,700 --> 00:26:48,090 global global warming debate. It is no longer available because 469 00:26:48,090 --> 00:26:51,840 of the 92 a 1980s. We didn't have enough money to buy hard 470 00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:54,120 drives. That's basically what 471 00:26:54,120 --> 00:26:57,270 he's saying. That's written on a piece of paper. 472 00:26:57,300 --> 00:27:04,830 Yeah. printed out. Unbelievable. Yeah, that'll never see the 473 00:27:04,830 --> 00:27:06,810 light of day. No one will talk about that. 474 00:27:08,010 --> 00:27:10,680 So I was reading this. There's a we have a bunch of these 475 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:13,470 alternative newspapers in the Bay Area. Lots of them actually 476 00:27:13,500 --> 00:27:17,340 like the Guardian, The Guardian, the East Bay express the 477 00:27:17,730 --> 00:27:20,100 guardian. There's a whole slew of them they got all kinds of 478 00:27:20,100 --> 00:27:21,180 sex ads in there. 479 00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:25,470 Yeah, they seem to survive with sex ads. Yeah, cuz I'm reading 480 00:27:25,470 --> 00:27:29,040 this story I just kind of this this just chain of small 481 00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:33,090 restaurants called Cafe gratitude. And some woman which 482 00:27:33,090 --> 00:27:35,880 may be the place you and Mickey ate at. 483 00:27:36,930 --> 00:27:39,060 Oh, I live I live on 484 00:27:39,690 --> 00:27:42,330 no lives different okay. Anyway, they went on and on she and 485 00:27:42,330 --> 00:27:45,270 apparently somebody quit or some because they make everybody take 486 00:27:45,300 --> 00:27:50,010 a landmark forum seminars, which turned out to be landmark 487 00:27:50,010 --> 00:27:54,510 education grew out of Earhart's seminar training, the ESP group 488 00:27:54,510 --> 00:27:58,530 est, which is very notorious in the 70s and 80s. And as you 489 00:27:58,530 --> 00:28:02,820 know, it's essentially teaching you to be a robot for the 490 00:28:02,820 --> 00:28:06,480 company. And so I'm looking at so I got the biggest kick out of 491 00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:09,990 it, and it's like becoming very controversial. So I'm looking at 492 00:28:09,990 --> 00:28:13,470 the Yelp reviews of Cafe gratitude and this one review 493 00:28:13,470 --> 00:28:18,720 comes up at the top here it says crack me up. Just from Sherry G 494 00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:25,080 out of Los Angeles. Everyone here is so happy seriously, like 495 00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:28,650 not a fake happy but a genuine happy not what kind of a 496 00:28:28,650 --> 00:28:32,580 restaurant review is this?

I will just ask her. What country would you be? 515 00:29:36,630 --> 00:29:40,140 What are you thankful for? That's like Thanksgiving. They 516 00:29:40,140 --> 00:29:41,730 would do that where you go around the table and they want 517 00:29:41,730 --> 00:29:43,110 us to say what they're thankful for. 518 00:29:43,740 --> 00:29:44,880 No, God, no. 519 00:29:46,110 --> 00:29:49,020 That's my family. That's what my family does. Now. Let's all hold 520 00:29:49,020 --> 00:29:52,380 hands and share and share a secret. Yeah, every single 521 00:29:52,380 --> 00:29:57,480 Thanksgiving. That's what they do. That's what they do. Like we 522 00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:00,660 also were thankful for. Come on. That's nice. is the American 523 00:30:00,660 --> 00:30:01,380 way, John? 524 00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:04,470 Sounds like the Dutch way? No, dude, I 525 00:30:04,470 --> 00:30:05,580 have no Dutch family. 526 00:30:06,270 --> 00:30:09,210 I'm sure that there are some families that sit around doing 527 00:30:09,210 --> 00:30:12,120 that that bit even though Thanksgiving is like a fake 528 00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:16,920 holiday was actually created long after its invention, which 529 00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:20,700 is actually good came and went in the 1800s finally made into 530 00:30:20,700 --> 00:30:24,840 like a permanent holiday by Abraham Lincoln. And it had to 531 00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:28,290 do with being thankful for this for the end of the Civil War and 532 00:30:28,290 --> 00:30:31,200 in fact into soldiers that you know, fought and that's what it 533 00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:34,710 was about. It wasn't about Pilgrims and Indians and turkeys 534 00:30:34,710 --> 00:30:40,500 and corn. Really? Yeah, really. And so then you find it 535 00:30:40,500 --> 00:30:44,550 somewhere and morphed into this bogus holiday about Pilgrims and 536 00:30:44,550 --> 00:30:47,910 Indians and corn. And they you can find references to these 537 00:30:48,060 --> 00:30:51,690 little potluck that they apparently had back when that 538 00:30:51,750 --> 00:30:54,600 said dead people that try to sell the on the holiday. Oh, no, 539 00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:58,020 it is it's about that. It's not about technically Thanksgiving, 540 00:30:58,020 --> 00:31:00,570 which was put into play by Abraham Lincoln. And it had to 541 00:31:00,570 --> 00:31:03,180 do with thanking us for the end of the war and that then the 542 00:31:03,210 --> 00:31:06,060 soldiers who sacrificed themselves had nothing to do 543 00:31:06,150 --> 00:31:10,680 with Pilgrims and Indians and, and they meanwhile, the kids in 544 00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:14,280 school are propagandise about this fake holiday. It's 545 00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:17,880 unbelievable to me. It's a pet peeve Hold 546 00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:22,260 on. Wait a minute, you caught me off guard. There we go. 547 00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:29,250 According to Wikipedia, which of course is the Bible, 548 00:31:29,490 --> 00:31:33,120 Thanksgiving Day is a harvest festival. Traditionally, it is 549 00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:36,180 time to give thanks for the harvest and express gratitude in 550 00:31:36,180 --> 00:31:39,900 general. It is a holiday celebrated primarily in Canada 551 00:31:39,930 --> 00:31:43,290 and the United States. Well, perhaps religious and origin. 552 00:31:43,380 --> 00:31:47,190 Thanksgiving is now primarily identified as a secular holiday. 553 00:31:47,820 --> 00:31:51,330 How can why wiki pedia disagrees with you, John. 554 00:31:52,260 --> 00:31:54,780 They don't do a little history. Have a historian go in there and 555 00:31:54,780 --> 00:31:56,730 fix that piece of crap. Well, maybe 556 00:31:56,730 --> 00:31:58,500 you should go in and fix that piece of paper. I 557 00:31:58,500 --> 00:31:59,880 don't know. Yeah, I just did. 558 00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:04,860 Though the earliest attested Thanksgiving celebration was on 559 00:32:04,860 --> 00:32:10,290 September 8 1565. in what is now St. Augustine, Florida. The 560 00:32:10,290 --> 00:32:14,760 traditional first Thanksgiving is venerated as having occurred 561 00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:20,010 at the site of Plymouth Plantation in 1621. Yeah, right. 562 00:32:20,310 --> 00:32:24,450 So you're saying that this was Abraham Lincoln? Hmm. Yep. 563 00:32:25,860 --> 00:32:26,880 That's fascinating. There's 564 00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,190 a very good history actually, I think if you go to divorce 565 00:32:29,190 --> 00:32:33,690 iq.org/blog I think we have the outline of the history of 566 00:32:33,690 --> 00:32:37,830 thanksgiving. I'll go dig it up and repost it. I usually post it 567 00:32:37,830 --> 00:32:41,190 every year in November. My kids are aware of it and they argue 568 00:32:41,190 --> 00:32:44,790 with their teachers in school of course now their wish to get him 569 00:32:44,790 --> 00:32:49,020 into nothing but trouble. Yeah. Heaven forbid that any real 570 00:32:49,020 --> 00:32:52,800 facts emerge from the from the educational environment. October 571 00:32:52,950 --> 00:32:56,400 3. October well document 572 00:32:56,400 --> 00:33:01,500 Yes. Yes. October 3 1863.

And I say and by the way you did 596 00:34:20,100 --> 00:34:24,510 gypped you were just gypped This has nothing to do with Pilgrims 597 00:34:24,630 --> 00:34:27,840 and Indians and corn and turkeys. How the turkeys get in 598 00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:28,140 there by 599 00:34:28,139 --> 00:34:30,629 the way how you were scammed.

These things are like huge they were 602 00:34:38,309 --> 00:34:41,489 impossible. Nobody wants to eat them every day. They did. Well, 603 00:34:41,489 --> 00:34:43,709 I got an idea. Hey, 604 00:34:43,739 --> 00:34:46,169 let's let's add them on to that Thanksgiving Day. 605 00:34:46,199 --> 00:34:48,929 I like talking about turkeys. I might as well mention this then. 606 00:34:49,229 --> 00:34:52,139 Which is that people out there who you know you the problem 607 00:34:52,139 --> 00:34:55,889 with Turkey is like it's been bred to be this huge breasted 608 00:34:55,889 --> 00:34:59,039 things that can't even stand up without breaking their legs. And 609 00:34:59,039 --> 00:35:01,679 then they get butchered. heard him sent out and for the one 610 00:35:02,039 --> 00:35:04,919 woman after the president pardons one of them that's my 611 00:35:06,269 --> 00:35:08,099 favourite you get pardoned dude 612 00:35:08,819 --> 00:35:12,269 and so anyway these stupid birds they go out and by the way 613 00:35:12,269 --> 00:35:14,579 they're wild around here I saw one flying flying over the 614 00:35:14,579 --> 00:35:16,769 freeway and apparently in San Ramon there's they're all over 615 00:35:16,769 --> 00:35:20,399 the rooftops these things are nuisances there's wild turkeys 616 00:35:20,399 --> 00:35:23,099 in particular but and it's frightening when they you see 617 00:35:23,099 --> 00:35:25,619 him flying because they only get about six feet off the ground 618 00:35:26,309 --> 00:35:28,649 and I saw one flying over the freeway and if I would have hit 619 00:35:28,649 --> 00:35:31,289 it I would have the car would have blown up I mean it seems 620 00:35:31,319 --> 00:35:37,019 just as big giant thing. Anyway so the turkey over time they've 621 00:35:37,019 --> 00:35:39,149 been breeding and breeding and breeding them so they you know, 622 00:35:39,179 --> 00:35:42,449 maximum white meat and all the rest of it. They take they taste 623 00:35:42,449 --> 00:35:46,199 like crap they're doing horribly, horrible Turkey 624 00:35:46,199 --> 00:35:48,689 flavour that just annoying. You can only eat it once a year 625 00:35:48,689 --> 00:35:53,939 because it's due aftertaste lasts for months. So we always 626 00:35:53,939 --> 00:35:56,969 get heirloom, which I'm sure they're trying to kill out 627 00:35:56,969 --> 00:35:59,969 heirloom turkeys from various growers and you can get some of 628 00:35:59,969 --> 00:36:02,669 these classic turkeys that were actually the turkeys they were 629 00:36:02,669 --> 00:36:03,839 eating and at 630 00:36:04,289 --> 00:36:06,659 1863 Sure. And 631 00:36:06,749 --> 00:36:10,769 I'll tell you, they taste like pheasant. They're delicious. 632 00:36:11,579 --> 00:36:14,429 With the first time I had one I went holy crap. This tastes 633 00:36:14,459 --> 00:36:17,129 more. This tastes a lot more like pheasant than it tastes 634 00:36:17,129 --> 00:36:21,959 like turkey. It had very little that horrible Turkey taste. It 635 00:36:21,959 --> 00:36:25,709 was just a fantastic product. It was just a great bird. I mean, 636 00:36:25,709 --> 00:36:28,829 they don't. Obviously there was a more natural bird without 637 00:36:28,829 --> 00:36:32,249 these giant breasts. And it was you know, you'd have more meat 638 00:36:32,249 --> 00:36:35,819 than a goose. But it was It wasn't one of these commercial, 639 00:36:36,449 --> 00:36:38,099 horrible tasting things. 640 00:36:38,189 --> 00:36:40,229 You said bird with giant breast. 641 00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:43,979 Anyway, that's my turkey story. 642 00:36:44,039 --> 00:36:47,129 You're gonna be more on holidays you can debunk 643 00:36:47,639 --> 00:36:50,309 besides Mother's Day and Father's Day and the Hallmark 644 00:36:50,309 --> 00:36:51,089 reading company. 645 00:36:52,739 --> 00:36:54,629 Those don't count Valentine's Day. 646 00:36:55,260 --> 00:36:59,100 Valentine's Day. I think that's Hallmark too. Yeah, probably is 647 00:36:59,100 --> 00:37:01,410 that wasn't somebody that used to really know how to market 648 00:37:01,410 --> 00:37:05,520 itself.

I'm 728 00:41:54,090 --> 00:41:56,850 playing the actual YouTube but so listen to what 729 00:41:57,389 --> 00:42:01,499 Chicago is known for dirty. Chicago is known for dirty 730 00:42:01,499 --> 00:42:06,899 politics. Windy City native Rahm Emanuel no exception to the 731 00:42:06,899 --> 00:42:11,669 Chicago way. He was known as the bag man in the Clinton White 732 00:42:11,669 --> 00:42:15,779 House. That sounds good. Now in the Obama administration, his 733 00:42:15,779 --> 00:42:19,799 strong arm tactics are helping make an all Obama's dreams come 734 00:42:19,799 --> 00:42:24,209 true. It is scary. But true. Pat Condell. He is a former 735 00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:27,059 Democratic pollster. Pat Goodell. Is 736 00:42:27,060 --> 00:42:27,660 that his name? 737 00:42:28,110 --> 00:42:29,670 Pat.

I think this 743 00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:49,230 whole administration is all about connections. It absolutely 744 00:42:49,470 --> 00:42:52,500 okay, so it's really not about what you see. It's 745 00:42:52,590 --> 00:42:56,100 it's everybody connected to everybody else in the money. 746 00:42:56,159 --> 00:42:59,609 It's almost community organising, in a large way. A 747 00:42:59,609 --> 00:43:00,959 large way. Yeah. Okay. 748 00:43:01,079 --> 00:43:05,279 You're right, that rug is really really bad. That thing is 749 00:43:05,279 --> 00:43:06,119 outrageous. 750 00:43:06,599 --> 00:43:09,899 It helped me out where do we start with with Rahm Emanuel? 751 00:43:09,899 --> 00:43:10,559 Where's what 752 00:43:10,559 --> 00:43:13,259 we started with his role and as you said, in the Clinton White 753 00:43:13,259 --> 00:43:16,919 House, leaves the Clinton White House and he gets two jobs. He 754 00:43:16,919 --> 00:43:20,069 gets put on the board of Freddie Mac, which is the second of the 755 00:43:20,069 --> 00:43:21,389 big giant mortgage. 756 00:43:21,420 --> 00:43:23,910 Okay, there's this we actually knew that Rahm Emanuel was on 757 00:43:23,910 --> 00:43:26,790 the board of Freddie Mac, but But check out how much money he 758 00:43:26,790 --> 00:43:28,740 made from being on the board and how he did 759 00:43:28,740 --> 00:43:32,250 it. His his what is his qualification? Did he go to 760 00:43:32,250 --> 00:43:33,150 school for dancing, 761 00:43:33,180 --> 00:43:37,710 he studied belly dancing. In college, he was trained for 762 00:43:37,710 --> 00:43:38,850 ballet. He 763 00:43:38,849 --> 00:43:40,919 is Freddie Mac doesn't do ballet. 764 00:43:40,949 --> 00:43:45,659 Now that's now he gets. The other job he has is that he gets 765 00:43:45,659 --> 00:43:49,979 a job with Wasserman Perella, which is a major Wall Street 766 00:43:50,429 --> 00:43:54,059 deal company and he gets in there Chicago office, then make 767 00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:56,729 $16 million in less than two years. 768 00:43:56,940 --> 00:44:01,110 In two years. Yes. Two years. $16 million. 769 00:44:01,530 --> 00:44:05,010 It's half of the quarter million and taxpayers gave him for 770 00:44:05,010 --> 00:44:05,490 Freddie Mac 771 00:44:05,519 --> 00:44:08,579 250 for the way he was there when he was 772 00:44:09,059 --> 00:44:11,999 cooking the books. Yeah, let's remember this is their cooking 773 00:44:11,999 --> 00:44:12,449 the books. 774 00:44:12,510 --> 00:44:15,600 Got it. Okay. $16 million. How do you make the 16 million 775 00:44:15,659 --> 00:44:19,619 $16 million, basically on one large deal and there's a segment 776 00:44:19,619 --> 00:44:23,939 but the big deal he got it on was he was advising SBC which 777 00:44:23,939 --> 00:44:26,609 later grew into the NEW AT and T 778 00:44:26,700 --> 00:44:30,270 okay SBC. Right that's not really it. Here's what's 779 00:44:30,270 --> 00:44:35,250 interesting about the SBC thing is the guy who helped make this 780 00:44:35,250 --> 00:44:38,580 deal Yes. Took a loss to the knot. 781 00:44:38,639 --> 00:44:42,149 Yes, the they had to sell because they bought another 782 00:44:42,149 --> 00:44:44,969 phone company Ameritech they had to get rid of a security company 783 00:44:44,969 --> 00:44:48,239 called Security like it was a billion billion a half dollar 784 00:44:48,239 --> 00:44:53,399 investment. He sold to a group headed by a reinvestment group 785 00:44:53,399 --> 00:44:58,199 being led by white acre by Mr. White acre was the chairman he 786 00:44:58,199 --> 00:45:01,559 sold it to a group led by Mr. Ma Annual for about $500 million. 787 00:45:01,919 --> 00:45:05,819 Okay, six months later, six months later, the investment 788 00:45:05,819 --> 00:45:08,309 bank that bought it sold it for a billion dollars. 789 00:45:08,370 --> 00:45:10,860 All right, John, were you following that at the time? 790 00:45:10,890 --> 00:45:11,820 Yeah, a little bit. 791 00:45:12,149 --> 00:45:14,999 But it seems just like like kind of just a circle of corruption. 792 00:45:15,479 --> 00:45:19,859 But the guy is it here's his background, more or less pakoda. 793 00:45:19,859 --> 00:45:24,119 He was a longtime Democrat. We worked with McGovern and 72, 794 00:45:24,119 --> 00:45:29,309 Carter, Gary Hart, Joe Biden, and Jerry Brown. So he's like 795 00:45:29,309 --> 00:45:33,269 old connected well, and well connected. But I think he also 796 00:45:33,269 --> 00:45:35,999 was a consultant for a bunch of movies, including Air Force One 797 00:45:35,999 --> 00:45:40,349 running mate, outbreak, West Wing. Now, here's what happened, 798 00:45:40,349 --> 00:45:43,649 apparently, and this is again, just a sketchy source, but they 799 00:45:43,649 --> 00:45:44,129 noticed it 800 00:45:44,130 --> 00:45:46,620 probably affected he went over to Fox News. 801 00:45:46,709 --> 00:45:49,769 He did well, here's why. In 1988, Fidel left the Democratic 802 00:45:49,769 --> 00:45:53,039 Party after an acrimonious lawsuit with a democratic 803 00:45:53,039 --> 00:45:58,769 consulting firm. So I said, Screw you and went over to the 804 00:45:58,769 --> 00:46:01,589 other side, and he's been pounding them ever since. He's 805 00:46:01,589 --> 00:46:04,049 like a, you know, a nightmarish guy. He's one of those. It 806 00:46:04,049 --> 00:46:07,829 doesn't seem like he's a flip flopper like Dick Morris who I 807 00:46:07,829 --> 00:46:09,509 used to go for anybody. He's like, 808 00:46:10,350 --> 00:46:13,380 you broke up with who? Who just won't keep hounding you. 809 00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:17,220 So he's like, got it. He's got what they would say in the 810 00:46:17,220 --> 00:46:20,490 business a hard on for the Democrat party. So 811 00:46:20,520 --> 00:46:24,720 okay, so now if I understand so that was just a deal. This I 812 00:46:24,750 --> 00:46:28,320 didn't quite get the deal. But apparently, the company was sold 813 00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:32,250 for half a billion and then the guys who bought a lot of money, 814 00:46:33,060 --> 00:46:38,220 flipped it for for 1,000,000,006 months later, I don't understand 815 00:46:38,220 --> 00:46:38,940 how that happened. 816 00:46:39,239 --> 00:46:41,849 They doubled their somebody doubled their money in some some 817 00:46:41,879 --> 00:46:42,719 soap at Google 818 00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:45,749 this white acre guy while we listen to the rest of this clip. 819 00:46:46,079 --> 00:46:46,949 That's good. That's a good 820 00:46:46,949 --> 00:46:50,999 investment. Hey, not bad. That's good now and he took out a huge 821 00:46:50,999 --> 00:46:53,849 amount of money now the president at that time, white 822 00:46:53,849 --> 00:46:56,669 acre was the chairman of SBC, 823 00:46:56,700 --> 00:47:02,100 America does the name white acre, the guy who helped Rahm 824 00:47:02,100 --> 00:47:08,100 Emanuel make $16 million does the name light acre ringabel 825 00:47:08,369 --> 00:47:12,119 packed because when they appointed the new chairman of GM 826 00:47:12,119 --> 00:47:14,219 who announced the day of his appointment, I know nothing 827 00:47:14,219 --> 00:47:18,539 about the car business. His name was what would acre oh my 828 00:47:18,539 --> 00:47:19,409 goodness, 829 00:47:19,499 --> 00:47:20,519 oh my goodness. 830 00:47:20,939 --> 00:47:24,629 So that that I was like wow, that's a connection that no one 831 00:47:24,629 --> 00:47:27,569 reported on I do remember reading the quote of this white 832 00:47:27,569 --> 00:47:29,579 acre saying you know, I don't know anything about the car 833 00:47:29,579 --> 00:47:32,519 business but you know, I have just run it like a business. But 834 00:47:32,519 --> 00:47:37,169 so the insinuation here or the assertion is that because white 835 00:47:37,169 --> 00:47:41,879 acre helped Rahm Emanuel make $16 million dollars in some 836 00:47:41,879 --> 00:47:46,349 bogus transaction or not bogus perhaps but in a transaction 837 00:47:46,529 --> 00:47:48,989 Rahm Emanuel then turns around and says you know what, we're 838 00:47:48,989 --> 00:47:51,809 going to hook you up we're going to make you the CEO of General 839 00:47:51,809 --> 00:47:53,639 Motors, which seems to 840 00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:57,870 be the MO of this of this entire administration is let you know I 841 00:47:57,870 --> 00:48:00,510 think in the olden days, they call it cronyism 842 00:48:03,480 --> 00:48:05,730 so did you look up white acre Did you find it Yeah, he's 843 00:48:05,729 --> 00:48:08,729 uh, you know, I'm looking at his picture. He built a 844 00:48:08,729 --> 00:48:12,089 telecommunications Empire According this and that and that 845 00:48:12,089 --> 00:48:17,879 is a SBC guy, including a $16 billion acquisition of AT and T. 846 00:48:18,509 --> 00:48:22,769 Knickers and he took their name. So at&t can Yvonne is a CIA 847 00:48:22,769 --> 00:48:26,549 front over in San Francisco in that weird building. That went 848 00:48:26,549 --> 00:48:31,859 on to change the logos on the $62 billion purchase of 849 00:48:31,859 --> 00:48:37,229 Ameritech. Now this guy knows how to do deals. I'm in far as 850 00:48:37,229 --> 00:48:40,019 he's concerned, the 16 million that went to Rahm Emanuel is 851 00:48:40,019 --> 00:48:48,269 chicken feed. Yeah, really nickname Big Ed.

And he does a really good 884 00:50:59,279 --> 00:51:03,689 abama kind of cadence, which makes it which is hilarious. And 885 00:51:03,959 --> 00:51:08,189 Rush Limbaugh plays this character constantly. Yeah, it's 886 00:51:08,579 --> 00:51:10,469 the first time I heard that song was on Wrestling bus. 887 00:51:10,980 --> 00:51:14,310 There's a porn movie that I I've heard about. I'm reliably 888 00:51:14,310 --> 00:51:19,650 informed. It's Obama does Palin Have you seen that one? And they 889 00:51:19,650 --> 00:51:23,940 really don't look like Obama and Palin, but kinda. It's really 890 00:51:23,940 --> 00:51:28,800 disturbing. It's really, really disturbing. Yeah, to see this? 891 00:51:28,890 --> 00:51:30,960 Well, no, you don't have to, but it's, I 892 00:51:30,960 --> 00:51:35,520 don't need to see it. That's for sure. So I noticed that the 893 00:51:35,520 --> 00:51:38,820 Republicans are still sticking to this Palin. You know, in the 894 00:51:38,820 --> 00:51:40,800 course of that she does come up with I know, she's got some 895 00:51:40,800 --> 00:51:43,020 writers, but she came up with the thing of the death panel. 896 00:51:43,980 --> 00:51:49,590 How amazing is it that you know, some woman in Alaska? I mean, 897 00:51:49,590 --> 00:51:52,980 it's got to be a total setup. But just by with a Facebook. I 898 00:51:52,980 --> 00:51:55,650 mean, this is pretty interesting with just by by putting 899 00:51:55,650 --> 00:51:58,980 something on your wall in Facebook, that you can spark off 900 00:51:58,980 --> 00:52:02,340 such such a huge debate, not just in the country, but 901 00:52:02,340 --> 00:52:04,770 worldwide. I mean, that's saying something for the way the 902 00:52:04,770 --> 00:52:07,020 mainstream media runs and how it works. 903 00:52:07,679 --> 00:52:09,809 It's ridiculous. And it's true that Republicans are now 904 00:52:09,809 --> 00:52:13,049 regretting you know, the day they even found her, because 905 00:52:13,049 --> 00:52:15,959 she's like a nightmare. She was she's just keeps coming back. 906 00:52:16,019 --> 00:52:18,179 She can't even keep up. You know, she gives up on a 907 00:52:18,209 --> 00:52:21,899 governor's job after two years, which is I think, enough to say 908 00:52:21,899 --> 00:52:24,629 that she's done. But no, you had somebody the other day, I was 909 00:52:24,629 --> 00:52:28,169 listening to one of these shows, and Ann Coulter was on there 910 00:52:28,199 --> 00:52:32,129 promoting her latest book, The woman cranks out more books than 911 00:52:32,129 --> 00:52:37,799 anyone had then Isaac Asimov. And, and he's going on about oh, 912 00:52:37,799 --> 00:52:40,649 Sarah, she's like a big fan of hers, which, you know, makes me 913 00:52:40,649 --> 00:52:42,689 think, well, you know, if you're going to be a fan of Sarah 914 00:52:42,689 --> 00:52:45,989 Palin, is why you get? I mean, Palin is to me, it's just kind 915 00:52:45,989 --> 00:52:49,649 of a, I don't think she's that bright. And why is they warming 916 00:52:49,649 --> 00:52:50,909 up to her to such an extreme? 917 00:52:51,119 --> 00:52:54,269 She's just like a President Obama. She's a news reader. You 918 00:52:54,269 --> 00:52:58,139 know, that's how she's her career started reading sports 919 00:52:58,139 --> 00:53:00,539 and news, and she's probably some entertainment news. And so 920 00:53:00,569 --> 00:53:03,659 they give her a script, she puts it on her Facebook, and it's all 921 00:53:03,659 --> 00:53:06,509 set up. I think it's brilliantly done. You know, it's like, hey, 922 00:53:06,509 --> 00:53:09,479 let's get this let's launch this death panels thing. We've got to 923 00:53:09,479 --> 00:53:12,779 have some idiots say it. So they get you know, Sarah Palin and do 924 00:53:12,779 --> 00:53:17,339 it and Fox News or whatever, you know, publishes the whatever 925 00:53:17,339 --> 00:53:21,119 she's written. I mean, this is the you could almost see so you 926 00:53:21,119 --> 00:53:25,739 can almost see Rupert Murdoch turning the dials here. Here's 927 00:53:25,739 --> 00:53:28,979 how I'll do it. Here's how I'll make it all happen. I mean, come 928 00:53:28,979 --> 00:53:35,189 on dad's panel. You know, it's got to be that way. In the 929 00:53:35,189 --> 00:53:39,389 Netherlands, where they had socialised medicine for as long 930 00:53:39,389 --> 00:53:42,869 as I can remember, I think it was one year ago or two years 931 00:53:42,869 --> 00:53:49,499 ago, they changed it from the single payer option to, to 932 00:53:49,559 --> 00:53:52,379 private insurance, and of course, it's mandatory private 933 00:53:52,379 --> 00:53:55,619 insurance insurance, which makes it even more interesting. And 934 00:53:55,619 --> 00:53:58,679 guess what was announced just at the beginning of this week, 935 00:53:58,679 --> 00:54:04,139 John? Oh, everyone. Everyone's premiums going up by 100 euros. 936 00:54:04,859 --> 00:54:08,159 Now, there you have it. Yeah. It's the insurance companies, it 937 00:54:08,159 --> 00:54:10,139 is all about the insurance companies. 938 00:54:11,880 --> 00:54:14,430 Yeah, there's some scam going on with this thing we're trying to 939 00:54:14,430 --> 00:54:18,360 do too, is just, I would like to find the quid pro quo for the 940 00:54:18,360 --> 00:54:21,330 insurance companies like I found with the doctors and the the 941 00:54:21,330 --> 00:54:24,450 extra fees, they can charge now for everything, you know, you 942 00:54:24,450 --> 00:54:27,750 get a call in for appointment, you get to probably pay five 943 00:54:27,750 --> 00:54:30,360 bucks to do that. Of course, you don't pay it, it comes to 944 00:54:30,360 --> 00:54:31,770 government pays it what I mean, the quid 945 00:54:31,770 --> 00:54:34,140 pro quo that the insurance companies bought all the 946 00:54:34,140 --> 00:54:35,460 politicians they bought, 947 00:54:35,880 --> 00:54:38,880 what is the what is the what are they benefiting from and how are 948 00:54:38,880 --> 00:54:40,230 they no going to be known? 949 00:54:41,250 --> 00:54:43,440 What do you mean how they're going to benefit from it? 950 00:54:43,650 --> 00:54:45,330 Well, so I want to know, I'm gonna have to get how can they 951 00:54:45,330 --> 00:54:47,310 make more money than they're making now? 952 00:54:48,149 --> 00:54:49,859 Just by raising the fees? 953 00:54:50,820 --> 00:54:52,530 Well, I know but if there's going to be the government 954 00:54:52,530 --> 00:54:54,750 coming in to compete with them, there's got to be some other 955 00:54:54,750 --> 00:54:57,240 scam going on. Okay. It can't be that you know that it's not 956 00:54:57,240 --> 00:55:00,000 going to come in with costing even more than it costs now that 957 00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:02,100 You got it, you know, they'll run these guys out of office 958 00:55:02,100 --> 00:55:04,260 faster than you can imagine if that happens, 959 00:55:04,619 --> 00:55:13,379 we'll see.

And so Richard Holbrook gave me that gave me the Go 1000 00:57:41,730 --> 00:57:44,010 ahead, which I totally believe 1001 00:57:45,539 --> 00:57:49,259 yeah, there's some sketchy even with that first Kuwait Iraqi war 1002 00:57:49,259 --> 00:57:52,349 there's a lot of lost information about how they would 1003 00:57:52,349 --> 00:57:56,129 kind of indicate you know, kind of letting Saddam go attack 1004 00:57:56,129 --> 00:57:59,219 Kuwait and it would kind of indicating he should do that and 1005 00:57:59,219 --> 00:58:02,819 as soon as he did we just bomb the crap out of him.

Because I think it's still 1071 01:02:10,589 --> 01:02:12,749 you know, it's done on such as a small sample although 1072 01:02:12,779 --> 01:02:16,589 statisticians will argue with me that that it's usually pretty 1073 01:02:16,589 --> 01:02:17,249 accurate 1074 01:02:18,539 --> 01:02:19,739 I would agree with them. 1075 01:02:20,639 --> 01:02:24,329 But from time to time this crops up and every couple of years 1076 01:02:24,359 --> 01:02:26,129 they the you know, there's a group that gets together and 1077 01:02:26,129 --> 01:02:28,139 says we're going to put needles not a business we're going to 1078 01:02:28,229 --> 01:02:31,439 it's like comScore that's another thing that frightens me 1079 01:02:34,169 --> 01:02:36,959 you have to put in the cost a lot of money to get these not 1080 01:02:36,959 --> 01:02:40,679 that we pay $100,000 a year just to just for the privilege of 1081 01:02:40,979 --> 01:02:49,139 comScore tracking us you had a couple of clips I think that 1082 01:02:49,139 --> 01:02:52,859 were left over to me left from that we do them all. 1083 01:02:53,639 --> 01:02:56,789 Oh, no, I got the one that I was gonna start the show with Yeah, 1084 01:02:57,059 --> 01:02:59,879 I did they give a set up set up on this. I was gonna start to 1085 01:02:59,879 --> 01:03:02,969 show that because I thought to be amusing. The MSNBC starting 1086 01:03:02,969 --> 01:03:06,509 to do some of these documentaries. And so they did 1087 01:03:06,509 --> 01:03:09,539 one on this stuff. The real story behind the Texas Chainsaw 1088 01:03:09,539 --> 01:03:14,729 Massacre guy, and they dramatise he really existed. Yeah, they 1089 01:03:14,729 --> 01:03:18,149 dramatise it to such an extreme that they brought in this voice 1090 01:03:18,149 --> 01:03:20,969 and I want people just to listen to this guy. And just let the 1091 01:03:20,969 --> 01:03:23,399 thing play through and you'll get the end you can make your 1092 01:03:23,399 --> 01:03:27,539 comment but it's like this voice is brought in for this it's like 1093 01:03:27,539 --> 01:03:30,359 read it's not like the frontline guy that's actually believable. 1094 01:03:30,359 --> 01:03:34,829 This guy is so over the top corny. That is like why is he I 1095 01:03:34,829 --> 01:03:37,559 don't know. I mean it but I find the whole thing quite amusing. 1096 01:03:37,559 --> 01:03:41,699 But it was like overdone. It's like comparing a Hollywood actor 1097 01:03:41,699 --> 01:03:44,339 to a stage actor, plate of guests 1098 01:03:44,370 --> 01:03:49,590 the real truth. Far from being a war hero, Robert Gleason was 1099 01:03:49,590 --> 01:03:54,120 actually a former mental patient on the run from the police. A 1100 01:03:54,120 --> 01:03:57,540 compulsive hoarder of firearms, he'd been sectioned for shooting 1101 01:03:57,540 --> 01:04:01,590 up a hospital and jumped bail in Buffalo, New York. After 1102 01:04:01,590 --> 01:04:02,910 shooting a man in the foot. 1103 01:04:03,329 --> 01:04:08,009 His conflict resolution method is to be violent or to threaten 1104 01:04:08,009 --> 01:04:11,969 violence. He's in love with guns, he's just infatuated 1105 01:04:11,969 --> 01:04:15,599 with guns. Unbeknownst to the moment community policing his 1106 01:04:15,599 --> 01:04:18,899 past was littered with firearms offences and dog behaviour. 1107 01:04:19,439 --> 01:04:22,829 three wives have left him the last one she found him taking a 1108 01:04:22,829 --> 01:04:25,109 bath with a dissembled deer. 1109 01:04:27,059 --> 01:04:29,009 That's an American doing that voice. 1110 01:04:29,340 --> 01:04:33,060 And then they then the shooting at the end of the sword. 1111 01:04:36,329 --> 01:04:39,299 Hey, it's time for another instalment of shadow puppets. 1112 01:04:40,829 --> 01:04:44,129 President Obama's nominee for Surgeon General is Dr. Regina 1113 01:04:44,129 --> 01:04:48,179 Benjamin, hailed by Mr. Obama for her efforts and running a 1114 01:04:48,179 --> 01:04:52,559 health clinic and hurricane ravaged rural Alabama. Guess 1115 01:04:52,559 --> 01:04:55,589 whose advisory board she's on John remember this is the 1116 01:04:55,589 --> 01:05:00,119 Surgeon General all about on Santo. Whoo I should hit The 1117 01:05:00,119 --> 01:05:04,889 jingle for that. I'm sorry, John, you are incorrect. No, no, 1118 01:05:04,889 --> 01:05:08,879 no, no. Remember, what is the Surgeon General responsible for 1119 01:05:08,879 --> 01:05:12,809 the Surgeon General is supposed to remind us to eat healthy 1120 01:05:12,809 --> 01:05:17,369 exercise live healthy lives. Is that correct? Yeah. She's on the 1121 01:05:17,369 --> 01:05:25,019 board of Burger King. That's hilarious since you got paid 1122 01:05:25,019 --> 01:05:30,239 $10,000 a year for serving on the Scientific Advisory Board. 1123 01:05:33,239 --> 01:05:35,699 You're telling me that the Surgeon General is on the board 1124 01:05:35,699 --> 01:05:38,549 of Burger King? Yeah. 1125 01:05:40,199 --> 01:05:44,009 Oh, yeah. You gotta love it. I actually I think Burger King is 1126 01:05:44,009 --> 01:05:45,869 probably healthier than McDonald's though. 1127 01:05:46,710 --> 01:05:51,660 Not much. I mean, they do the grease is to handle differently. 1128 01:05:51,720 --> 01:05:54,900 I mean, McDonald's takes their patties and throw them on a 1129 01:05:54,930 --> 01:05:58,560 griddle that so they kind of cook in their own fat. And 1130 01:05:58,560 --> 01:06:02,490 Burger King throws the patties on this conveyor belt that's got 1131 01:06:02,490 --> 01:06:06,720 a bunch of holes in it. And it goes across supposedly full 1132 01:06:06,720 --> 01:06:10,860 names and or some sort of oil, it's flame broiled, and it's in 1133 01:06:10,860 --> 01:06:14,760 the flame it goes across the flames and so the grease falls 1134 01:06:14,760 --> 01:06:18,240 off the burger into the flames and it would probably bubble up 1135 01:06:18,240 --> 01:06:23,070 back into the meat and some some other form. And I don't know, 1136 01:06:23,850 --> 01:06:26,310 Burger King over the years has really deteriorated wanted 1137 01:06:26,310 --> 01:06:30,600 to track Vicky Rivas VAs squares. A spokeswoman for the 1138 01:06:30,600 --> 01:06:33,480 Department of Health and Human Services said Dr. Benjamin would 1139 01:06:33,480 --> 01:06:36,660 resign her position from Burger King Upon confirmation by the 1140 01:06:36,660 --> 01:06:41,190 Senate. And she will also recuse herself from any specific party 1141 01:06:41,190 --> 01:06:44,640 matters involving Burger King for the next two years as part 1142 01:06:44,640 --> 01:06:47,070 of the Obama administration's ethics pledge. 1143 01:06:47,430 --> 01:06:51,030 The ethics ethics. So what's your name again? 1144 01:06:52,590 --> 01:06:55,080 Her name is Dr. Regina Benjamin. 1145 01:06:55,709 --> 01:07:00,899 Regina. Can Jim in looks like she's had 1146 01:07:00,900 --> 01:07:02,460 a burger too. Actually. 1147 01:07:02,489 --> 01:07:07,409 That's what I'm trying to see. She's Oh, yeah. It's pretty 1148 01:07:07,409 --> 01:07:07,859 apparent. 1149 01:07:10,380 --> 01:07:14,670 nation's leading spokesperson and that's the opener right 1150 01:07:14,670 --> 01:07:17,520 there. As the nation's leading spokesperson on public health, 1151 01:07:17,520 --> 01:07:19,650 you will continue to promote healthy eating and 1152 01:07:19,679 --> 01:07:23,669 exercise. Maybe she should start with herself 1153 01:07:23,970 --> 01:07:26,940 as third party counsellor bringing her expertise on public 1154 01:07:26,940 --> 01:07:30,180 health on an advisory panel she was advocating for food options 1155 01:07:30,180 --> 01:07:33,510 that were lower in sodium and recommending that nutritional 1156 01:07:33,510 --> 01:07:36,570 information appear on food packaging Dude we're too busy 1157 01:07:36,570 --> 01:07:40,110 reading the cartoons on the food packaging that's what that's the 1158 01:07:40,110 --> 01:07:41,520 whole beauty of Burger King 1159 01:07:41,789 --> 01:07:46,859 you know we try to make a there's a picture here in this 1160 01:07:46,859 --> 01:07:51,239 list that took a look at the photo photos I'll send you this 1161 01:07:53,189 --> 01:07:59,279 it's it's if you look her up this This photo shows up anyway 1162 01:08:00,749 --> 01:08:03,779 I think people should just start really start to concentrate on 1163 01:08:03,779 --> 01:08:04,829 reading these labels 1164 01:08:06,690 --> 01:08:08,040 that's the picture that showed up. 1165 01:08:08,579 --> 01:08:08,999 Yeah 1166 01:08:12,119 --> 01:08:17,579 this guy needs a bra. So you know people have to really start 1167 01:08:17,579 --> 01:08:21,029 looking at these labels and take make you know and ask yourself 1168 01:08:21,029 --> 01:08:24,149 when it goes when you get to my wife was moaning about this the 1169 01:08:24,149 --> 01:08:27,269 other day she went to some she saw something says back to the 1170 01:08:27,269 --> 01:08:30,869 original original the original taste you know from the 1920s or 1171 01:08:30,869 --> 01:08:32,849 something like that she reads the label and it says high 1172 01:08:32,849 --> 01:08:36,869 fructose corn syrup. So that was this original how's this back to 1173 01:08:36,869 --> 01:08:39,539 the basic How Is This Anything is high fructose corn syrup is a 1174 01:08:39,539 --> 01:08:44,789 new additive way of putting that in anybody's food in the 30s. 1175 01:08:45,210 --> 01:08:48,390 But wait, there's more. She also reported receiving more than 1176 01:08:48,390 --> 01:08:52,140 $20,000 for serving on another advisory board at Nebraska based 1177 01:08:52,170 --> 01:08:56,220 ConAgra Foods. One of the country's largest food producers 1178 01:08:56,220 --> 01:08:59,760 with products such as David sunflower seeds crunch and munch 1179 01:09:00,210 --> 01:09:03,180 healthy choice and Chef Boyardee 1180 01:09:03,600 --> 01:09:11,700 All right. What happened to coop? Coop was still around he's 1181 01:09:11,700 --> 01:09:15,180 doing the commercials for infomercial clapper. I 1182 01:09:15,780 --> 01:09:19,290 know for help I fallen I can't get up with that one called Life 1183 01:09:19,290 --> 01:09:19,680 call. 1184 01:09:19,710 --> 01:09:23,190 Yeah, the clapper. Oh, no, that's right. There's a little 1185 01:09:23,190 --> 01:09:25,800 thing you push a button and it sends for help. It's not the 1186 01:09:25,800 --> 01:09:33,000 clapper. Sorry. It helped by fallen I can't get up. So I want 1187 01:09:33,000 --> 01:09:39,120 to mention that we got a recipe here. We're going to we could 1188 01:09:39,120 --> 01:09:41,790 have gotten a little more money from that, you know, Sunday 1189 01:09:41,790 --> 01:09:44,340 shows don't seem to really generate I don't know what it 1190 01:09:44,340 --> 01:09:48,330 is. Almost all of our income for the show comes on and by the 1191 01:09:48,330 --> 01:09:51,390 way, if we're going to do three shows we're actually about we 1192 01:09:51,390 --> 01:09:55,170 make we bring in about half as much money as we actually need 1193 01:09:55,170 --> 01:09:58,800 to do this show, you know and rationalise that to just to do 1194 01:09:58,800 --> 01:10:02,250 one show you had to do one show to rationalise doing the show at 1195 01:10:02,250 --> 01:10:06,060 all. Although we really enjoy it, and we think we're doing a 1196 01:10:06,060 --> 01:10:08,730 public service, but I think the public has to also, you know, 1197 01:10:08,760 --> 01:10:11,310 help us out a little bit because we know how many people are 1198 01:10:11,310 --> 01:10:14,910 listening to show and there's a lot, and there's only a few that 1199 01:10:14,910 --> 01:10:19,620 have, you know, they actually followed up with helping us, and 1200 01:10:19,650 --> 01:10:21,690 we're gonna keep doing that we're gonna, you know, have to 1201 01:10:21,780 --> 01:10:26,040 do something eventually. Because I mean, there's, you know, 1202 01:10:26,040 --> 01:10:28,950 there's weekly begging for money, it's getting pretty old. 1203 01:10:29,400 --> 01:10:31,920 Well, it gets old. But you know, the last time i Last Thursday, 1204 01:10:31,920 --> 01:10:34,410 when I did it, when I was really getting angry about it and 1205 01:10:34,410 --> 01:10:38,730 saying, you know, you'll look at, you just spend 2550 bucks to 1206 01:10:38,730 --> 01:10:41,640 go to a movie, which is two hours of entertainment usually 1207 01:10:41,640 --> 01:10:43,770 doesn't you don't get as much out of it as you do from our 1208 01:10:43,770 --> 01:10:47,130 show, you know how it's gonna end. And you know, how it's 1209 01:10:47,130 --> 01:10:49,620 gonna end and you're not, you know, me me, while you're 1210 01:10:49,620 --> 01:10:52,890 getting this show. Like, you know, it's like a movie at least 1211 01:10:52,890 --> 01:10:57,630 a long movie every week for free. And you use it when you go 1212 01:10:57,630 --> 01:11:00,750 to work with most of our listeners, or commuters. And 1213 01:11:00,750 --> 01:11:03,210 they listen to the shows there are some others but they tend to 1214 01:11:03,210 --> 01:11:05,790 listen to the show going to and from work and it keeps them 1215 01:11:05,790 --> 01:11:09,990 sane. Think about what you pay a doctor to maintain sanity or 1216 01:11:10,020 --> 01:11:10,800 psychiatrist. 1217 01:11:11,880 --> 01:11:14,430 Plus to be on that Obama Caravan, we should be getting 1218 01:11:14,430 --> 01:11:16,110 something we should be getting the payoff. 1219 01:11:17,100 --> 01:11:21,540 Exactly. So I would encourage you to go to no agenda show.com 1220 01:11:21,540 --> 01:11:26,010 or divorce act.org/n. A and sign up for one of the programmes 1221 01:11:26,010 --> 01:11:29,550 where there's a subscription that we're going to add a $5 a 1222 01:11:29,550 --> 01:11:32,670 month subscription option because of number of people 1223 01:11:32,700 --> 01:11:35,010 asked for that specifically. And they said you know what you 1224 01:11:35,010 --> 01:11:38,430 don't like to $2 because it's your pay pal takes all the money 1225 01:11:38,430 --> 01:11:40,500 with five it would be probably acceptable. So we're going to 1226 01:11:40,500 --> 01:11:43,530 add that. And then we also have to add we're also looking for 1227 01:11:43,530 --> 01:11:46,530 people that can do grants and we're also going to get stepped 1228 01:11:46,530 --> 01:11:49,680 back up and start doing our plans for the dinner. 1229 01:11:49,710 --> 01:11:52,830 Yes, because a lot of people a lot of different cities are 1230 01:11:52,830 --> 01:11:55,470 saying they will definitely know that but the dinner is not going 1231 01:11:55,470 --> 01:11:57,390 to be a huge moneymaker for us it's 1232 01:11:57,390 --> 01:12:00,540 more because half of the money is gonna go to the dinner. Yeah, 1233 01:12:00,540 --> 01:12:02,820 and the wine for sure. We're not going to break we're not going 1234 01:12:02,820 --> 01:12:07,140 to do a cheap crummy dinner with you know, lousy food ended 1235 01:12:07,140 --> 01:12:09,210 obviously if you're a foodie, you'd want to come to this thing 1236 01:12:09,210 --> 01:12:11,160 because we're going to do probably I'm thinking I'm not 1237 01:12:11,160 --> 01:12:13,800 sure what place we're gonna go to boba place like Florida Lee 1238 01:12:13,800 --> 01:12:17,340 and in Las Vegas, where I know the chef and he could actually 1239 01:12:17,340 --> 01:12:20,760 make a special meal for us and I'll bring one of some 1240 01:12:20,790 --> 01:12:24,810 spectacular or double Magnum or something from my collection. 1241 01:12:24,810 --> 01:12:25,500 Nice. 1242 01:12:25,590 --> 01:12:27,150 We should find them Jong Il. 1243 01:12:27,930 --> 01:12:35,010 That's reminds me. Big talk. So, yeah, so we're gonna, we're 1244 01:12:35,010 --> 01:12:38,130 gonna make it have a link for you to sign up for the waiting 1245 01:12:38,130 --> 01:12:41,070 list. Just for information you don't have. You're not going to 1246 01:12:41,070 --> 01:12:42,330 be signing up for dinner. Here's 1247 01:12:42,330 --> 01:12:45,540 an idea. Here's an idea. Why don't we set it for 1248 01:12:45,540 --> 01:12:47,880 Thanksgiving? 2009? 1249 01:12:49,740 --> 01:12:51,630 Because I think my family would object. No, it's 1250 01:12:51,630 --> 01:12:55,380 October 3 is Thanksgiving, the official all the real things 1251 01:12:55,380 --> 01:12:59,970 real Thanksgiving is October 3. That's an idea in Las Vegas. And 1252 01:12:59,970 --> 01:13:02,880 we'll give thanks to Abraham Lincoln. 1253 01:13:04,170 --> 01:13:06,480 You could read the tome. I could read 1254 01:13:06,479 --> 01:13:11,159 the practical proclamation. And we can get a magician and a 1255 01:13:11,159 --> 01:13:13,949 couple of and a couple of porn stars who are apparently 300 1256 01:13:13,949 --> 01:13:15,389 bucks for seven hours. 1257 01:13:15,660 --> 01:13:19,470 Yeah, that's reasonable. Just having standing there. Yeah. 1258 01:13:19,649 --> 01:13:24,689 Just hanging out. Yeah. I think we got a plan in HEMA underwear. 1259 01:13:24,749 --> 01:13:27,029 How about porn stars and Hema underwear. 1260 01:13:27,449 --> 01:13:31,439 So go to the no agenda show.com or no agenda, dogs 1261 01:13:31,469 --> 01:13:38,369 squarespace.com or, or dvorak.org/in a. And you'll get 1262 01:13:38,369 --> 01:13:40,919 you'll see all the new stuff on there, the site will be 1263 01:13:41,069 --> 01:13:41,879 improved. 1264 01:13:42,660 --> 01:13:46,020 And then to wind it up something that of course, this is a this 1265 01:13:46,020 --> 01:13:49,320 is news that we've been talking about for several months now, I 1266 01:13:49,320 --> 01:13:52,500 think and now and I'm not quite sure who this guy is other than 1267 01:13:52,500 --> 01:13:57,300 an Air Force veteran who handled nuclear nuclear warheads in 1268 01:13:57,300 --> 01:14:02,640 Europe. He is the chairman of stupid foods and Elmhurst dairy. 1269 01:14:02,640 --> 01:14:06,360 His name is Henry Schwartz. And according to The New York Times, 1270 01:14:06,390 --> 01:14:17,160 he is sounding the alarm. He's says, an electromagnetic pulse 1271 01:14:17,490 --> 01:14:18,030 weapon. 1272 01:14:18,989 --> 01:14:22,379 This guy, this guy is like 90, he doesn't know what he's 1273 01:14:22,379 --> 01:14:24,209 talking about. 75 1274 01:14:24,210 --> 01:14:29,670 is not that old. So this whole 75 is not that old. I mean, you 1275 01:14:29,670 --> 01:14:29,850 know, 1276 01:14:30,660 --> 01:14:31,380 me, go ahead. 1277 01:14:34,109 --> 01:14:37,349 So he's saying, Hey, I'm really worried about this primarily 1278 01:14:37,349 --> 01:14:40,049 about our grid that won't be able to handle it. It's 1279 01:14:40,049 --> 01:14:43,919 interesting. We talked to Larry, the guy that is renting the 1280 01:14:43,919 --> 01:14:48,929 hangar to me at at Oakland and he's an engineer for Lockheed. 1281 01:14:49,740 --> 01:14:51,660 Martin works for the Skunk Works. 1282 01:14:51,840 --> 01:14:55,620 And John's real and he's also up there. He's probably in his 70s, 1283 01:14:56,490 --> 01:15:01,230 maybe late 60s, and John's real coy is like hey, So that that 1284 01:15:01,230 --> 01:15:04,500 ages thing you think that really works. And Larry's like, Oh, 1285 01:15:04,500 --> 01:15:09,300 I've seen some pictures. And then and I lay it on a enps. And 1286 01:15:09,300 --> 01:15:12,570 he looks at me says, Oh, you've heard of those. Oh, yeah, that's 1287 01:15:12,570 --> 01:15:15,780 for real. Yeah. empezar for real, that could that could 1288 01:15:15,780 --> 01:15:19,380 really happen. But then when you drill down into it, and this 1289 01:15:19,380 --> 01:15:21,720 guy's an engineer, and he sounded pretty credible, he 1290 01:15:21,720 --> 01:15:24,780 says, But you know, that no one has that technology. What what 1291 01:15:24,780 --> 01:15:28,170 did he compare it to? Like Wizard of Oz shit? Or like Star 1292 01:15:28,170 --> 01:15:28,680 Wars? You 1293 01:15:28,680 --> 01:15:31,020 can do that thing with the a bomb, but you know, you had to 1294 01:15:31,020 --> 01:15:33,840 get pretty close within most of what we're hearing is 1295 01:15:34,080 --> 01:15:35,310 exaggerated. 1296 01:15:35,339 --> 01:15:39,329 Yeah. So I wonder what's behind it then if it's all exaggerated, 1297 01:15:39,329 --> 01:15:41,549 because then a lot of people are jumping on board with this. 1298 01:15:41,580 --> 01:15:44,370 Yeah, no, that's exactly right. That's the thing. That's the 1299 01:15:44,370 --> 01:15:46,440 thing that we're trying to get our listeners to think in those 1300 01:15:46,440 --> 01:15:49,800 terms. If like, you start hearing about something even us 1301 01:15:49,830 --> 01:15:52,290 because we get suckered into this stuff, too. By the way, of 1302 01:15:52,290 --> 01:15:54,660 course, not commonly, but you know, it happens but we usually 1303 01:15:54,660 --> 01:15:58,770 correct you know, our flaws eventually. But the thing is, is 1304 01:15:58,770 --> 01:16:02,250 you always have to ask yourself what who might be behind this 1305 01:16:02,250 --> 01:16:06,090 and why? Why are they telling me this? Because there's no reason 1306 01:16:06,090 --> 01:16:08,760 for anyone to tell me this stuff. Unless there's some 1307 01:16:09,300 --> 01:16:11,520 there's some motive somewhere from somebody trying to make 1308 01:16:11,520 --> 01:16:14,310 money usually. or something's going on. 1309 01:16:15,119 --> 01:16:19,199 I got a whole website John just sent me the link. It's EMP X 1310 01:16:19,229 --> 01:16:23,939 America. Let's see about us. There's a whole site about this 1311 01:16:23,939 --> 01:16:25,349 thing. Oh my god, this looks too 1312 01:16:25,349 --> 01:16:30,059 slick to be protecting America against a permanent continental 1313 01:16:30,059 --> 01:16:34,199 shut down from electromagnetic pulse. This is a slick site. 1314 01:16:34,350 --> 01:16:36,450 Yeah, this is this. This has got to be 1315 01:16:36,750 --> 01:16:38,130 in government side of 1316 01:16:38,520 --> 01:16:40,380 military industrial complex. There's 1317 01:16:40,590 --> 01:16:43,650 something fishy about this to your these guys. You remember 1318 01:16:43,650 --> 01:16:46,860 when we first started, we still do this. By the way, when we 1319 01:16:46,860 --> 01:16:49,470 first started looking at the phoney baloney sites coming out 1320 01:16:49,470 --> 01:16:54,480 of the Georgia Russia versus Yeah. And you see these sites 1321 01:16:54,480 --> 01:16:56,790 and it's just like, you know, you know what a website when 1322 01:16:56,790 --> 01:17:00,540 somebody puts up an honest website, the sincere website, 1323 01:17:00,840 --> 01:17:06,030 there's a certain kind of it Gestalt for want of a better 1324 01:17:06,030 --> 01:17:09,210 term, that indicates you that there's probably some honesty 1325 01:17:09,210 --> 01:17:12,180 behind it. When you start seeing these things that are way too 1326 01:17:12,180 --> 01:17:14,550 slick, unless it's like, you know, a professional, you know, 1327 01:17:14,550 --> 01:17:16,590 like a newspaper. Yeah, it shouldn't be because it's a 1328 01:17:16,590 --> 01:17:19,440 newspaper or publication. But when you see something that is a 1329 01:17:19,440 --> 01:17:23,310 special interest group, and it's really slick, it's very 1330 01:17:23,310 --> 01:17:25,830 suspicious, because special interest groups don't have the 1331 01:17:25,830 --> 01:17:28,830 kind of money they haven't got $18 million to build a good 1332 01:17:28,830 --> 01:17:29,340 website. 1333 01:17:29,460 --> 01:17:36,060 So the website, the domain name, EMP act, america.org. And dotnet 1334 01:17:36,060 --> 01:17:40,320 is owned by stupid foods and Elmhurst dairy and affiliates. 1335 01:17:42,330 --> 01:17:47,100 Technical contact cause MCC solutions the hell is that? 1336 01:17:47,130 --> 01:17:50,880 Let's just they must have built the website. Yeah, they built 1337 01:17:50,880 --> 01:17:53,820 the website so it's so he paid him to build this website. 1338 01:17:55,440 --> 01:18:00,480 interesting to look at. Avi Schnoor Avi Schnoor is the 1339 01:18:00,480 --> 01:18:01,200 president. 1340 01:18:01,680 --> 01:18:03,540 We're going to follow this a little more closely because 1341 01:18:03,540 --> 01:18:06,030 there's something screwy about this thing. And I notice at the 1342 01:18:06,030 --> 01:18:09,660 bottom they get so many tracking bugs in there. It's amazing. 1343 01:18:11,160 --> 01:18:12,810 So I can't figure it I think 1344 01:18:13,770 --> 01:18:14,790 to custom site 1345 01:18:15,240 --> 01:18:18,450 there is one there is one thing that I do do believe is quite 1346 01:18:18,450 --> 01:18:23,700 real because history has showed it that solar flares and I think 1347 01:18:23,700 --> 01:18:26,670 John if you look into your cycles were due from some from 1348 01:18:26,790 --> 01:18:30,420 from for some solar activity in the coming years that can 1349 01:18:30,420 --> 01:18:33,660 actually fry out the grid that you know these solar flares 1350 01:18:33,930 --> 01:18:36,240 we've had solar winds in the 1800s 1351 01:18:36,630 --> 01:18:39,900 they can take out satellite too occasionally they'll bopper 1352 01:18:39,900 --> 01:18:41,370 satellite off the off the I 1353 01:18:41,370 --> 01:18:44,760 remember that in the in the mid 90s I remember all cell phones 1354 01:18:44,760 --> 01:18:48,270 pagers were down for like three four days Direct TV was off the 1355 01:18:48,270 --> 01:18:54,360 air I mean it was a pretty massive solar activity. And they 1356 01:18:54,360 --> 01:18:56,520 do talk about it here on this website as well 1357 01:18:59,399 --> 01:19:00,839 Yeah, well we'll look into this 1358 01:19:01,470 --> 01:19:05,220 Yeah, but this why like that 1359 01:19:05,219 --> 01:19:08,519 org slash na we can use your seriously Oh, 1360 01:19:08,819 --> 01:19:11,129 my God, it's gotten so dark here. I can barely see the 1361 01:19:11,129 --> 01:19:15,929 buttons anymore on my my current machine. The sun has gone down 1362 01:19:15,929 --> 01:19:22,739 over the yard arm everybody.
