These dogs are trained to lie. Adam curry, John C. Dvorak
and Sunday January 2012. Time to get my nation media
assassination episode 372.
This is no agenda
top agent changing from cam MoPhO here in Austin, Texas, the
capital of the drone Star State in the morning, everybody. I'm
Adam curry.
And from Northern Silicon Valley where it's unseasonably warm.
I'm John C. Dvorak.
What? Sorry, I don't know what happened there.
But was it
if something didn't fire, right? I don't know. It's software.
Maybe. I'm having software issues after the first of the
year.
Yeah, yes, we discussed this on the last show. Skype is
crashing, you claim. Just for people out there, techies out
there, you claim that you've done nothing to this machine.
It's running Windows seven beginner starter.
It came installed on the netbook. Yeah, I've done
nothing. I reinstalled Skype since the latest version, and
then you call this morning and it crashed right away. And I
have nothing on this machine.
Yeah. And it crashed last week. Last show a couple times in a
row two or three times who care and there's been nothing done
this change to this machine ever since its inception. Now, do you
have upgraded windows? Have you gotten no? Oh, yeah, no, I
do all that crap. Yeah, of course. Must be something. Yeah,
of course. Of course. It has something to do with that. You
think that one department of Microsoft is talking to the
other? You fool. Anyway, in the morning to you there.
In the morning, all ships at sea boots on the ground and feet in
the air? Yes. And
of course to all of the human resources who are in our chat
room. loyally. We got a good showing today, which is nice
set. It's no agenda. stream.com no agenda chat.net. Everyone's
there. When we do the programme live Thursday and Sunday
mornings. That will be 9am. Get more nation West time. You know,
had a guy here on Thursday after I did the show. He was putting
in some shelves. And I walk out he says, Hey, man, you got a
card or web address for that show because Mickey was
listening to it. That's that's pretty cool, man. Picking up
listeners, we got another one. The one more one more listener,
everybody.
That's how we do it one at a time.
So the overnight ratings are in John. And guess what? Nobody
watched the Republican debate.
As too bad. It was actually one of the more interesting ones. It
was somewhat entertaining. I have
the numbers here. NBC dominated primetime with a whopping 19.2
rating a 33 Share. That's like so a third of by the way, note
the magic number there. A third of all sets in use. were tuned
to the football game. What was ABC thinking? And they got a
three point
putting it up against the foot. But yeah, this was the game that
it was up against was the only interesting game in the
playoffs. It's totally
idiotic. And they got a 3.7 rating a six share, which is so
that's about three and a half million people watched that
nobody a
anybody to see Ron Paul, because they knew they'd have to give
him some time. If you remember the ABC was the was the
operation that gave Ron Paul 60 seconds.
Oh, yeah. Well, they did it again. I felt you know, they
were cutting to commercial for him but then wouldn't cut for
Mitt Romney. But I will say our lineup to the tee the way we
said they should put them on the stage. They listened to us in
that regard. Yeah. The only thing that that they didn't take
her advice is the musical and comedy entertainment blocks.
mean, this is what they should do during the show. have like a
comedian come out. Do a little quick stand.
I gotta tell you something.
Or have Taylor Swift come out and do a little a patriotic
American doodlee thingy. That's what they should do. Then it
will be really interesting. Now it's just like, ah, and Diane
Sawyer. Really?
She is the worst, isn't she? What is this week? She's, she's
like, she's plastered or something. She's kind of slurs.
She's really talking slow. I I've looked like her less and
less and less. The more I sit here, but she
is she keeps saluting everybody, you know the troops and we
salute each and every single one of them. What does that even
mean? We salute the troops. Are you in the military? Diane
Sawyer. You salute the troops. And then at the end, she salutes
everybody in the in the audience, we salute you. What is
that? This is dumb as that that's a good question. It's not
dumb. Don't salute me.
As she said, she's a luminary, but
it's not stupid. It's the stupidest thing I've ever seen
in my life. And we salute you every single one of them. Why
don't you do 80,000 Some salutes and we'll get back to you right
after this
one big giant right arm.
So I did think there was one moment where both Romney and
Huntsman lost Major League points, Major League points. And
it was subtle, but anyone who was watching last points and it
was this moment, as they
would say in China, MIT, put it out yet Chica ching ching. It
doesn't it doesn't quite understand this situation.
So there's two things here. First of all, it's a great shot
of Huntsman doing this Mandarin thing which by the way, I've now
just made into a jingle Chicka ching ching because it just
sounds so awesome. Taco Tatianna cheated to to ching ching. And
then you see Romney throwing his hands up going bah, bah. Well,
like a little idiot schoolboy. Like that's not fair. He speaks
Chinese. So it shows a that Romney is still like a little
spoiled brat. You think and it shows that Huntsman is clearly a
foreign asset for the Chinese the guy's bags, total spy I'm
telling you,
tawny owl Chica Ching Ching,
even though the guys on the phone talking to the Reds up top
or data cheetah ching ching ching. Yeah. Trying to say that
all the time
to actually thought the very end of the show. I thought also
Huntsman essentially shot himself in the foot with a bunch
of bull crap.
Did you noticed that everyone had received similar advice,
including Ron Paul. Just hang back, don't get in any trouble.
Everything will be okay. And so Ron Paul was, you know, they
didn't come to him, which actually was in his favour. I
think they didn't come to him on on a number of issues,
like the 10th Amendment wind the men when they had Romney tied up
that I think untied
that, I think because of course we know ABC, particularly ABC
News is completely compromised. The the news President, his
sister's personal advisor to Obama. So this whole thing is
rigged and it was stepping opolis I think it was his his
mission was to show the crazy Mormon Romney and to discredit
him. That's why it was completely ridiculous because
Romney just wasn't having any of it, any of it. But it was so
uncomfortable and
convoluted way the Romney douchebag Ron Paul, call out
clip. Hold on a second, near the bottom.
Near the bottom. Okay. Oh, this one? Yes. Do
you believe that states have the right to ban contraception? Or
is that trumped by a constitutional right to privacy?
George, this is an unusual topic that you're raising that states
have a right to ban contraception. I can't imagine
the state banning contraception. I can't imagine the
circumstances where a state would want to do so. And if I
were a governor of a state, or a lead or a legislator of a state,
I would totally and completely oppose any effort to ban
contraception. So you're asking, given the fact that there's no
state that wants to do so. And I don't know of any candidate that
wants to do so you're asking could it constitutionally be
done? We can ask her constitutionalist here.
I felt that was actually a win for Ron Paul.
I thought it wasn't a very subtle way but it was I don't
think the the the panel thought so. And I don't think that I
think the people on the stage none of them believed that was
the case. But I agree with you.
I think there was like yeah, that's right. Ron Paul was the
only guy who would who's
never went back to him by the way No, ask him because he would
have said look, it's up to the states the you know, the 10th
Amendment, the 10th amendment,
and that's when Stephanopoulos interrupts him and then throws
it to Perry who by the way, I like repaired last night. Not
not for it stands
when he spoke five times. He's
just a he's well, that was that helped. That helped. But he was
he he's taking a Cinderella story you watch we're going to
start calling this what's going to happen Tuesday now I have not
recorded the the debate this morning, which is probably just
pretty much a replay from what I've seen so far. But I think
that we're going to see Newt Gingrich drop off the radar
completely. We're gonna see Rick Perry move up people are liking
him because he's just he's just a teddy bear likeable guy even
though he's a total douchebag. And, and that kind of showed up
at the end there where they did there. So if it was Saturday
night, and you weren't at this god awful debate, what would you
be doing?
I've got that clip, actually. And it's worth playing, but I
have to I have to set it up. Okay. It is. It starts out
that's the question, what would you be doing on Saturday night?
And Rick Perry begins it and sets the stage by saying well,
I'd be out shooting.
Which clip is it? You have to help me?
See if you were a tree.
Oh, okay. Yeah, that makes it thanks for the production
notice.
All right stead of being shot at
Speaker Gingrich I'd be watching the college championship
basketball game. Die. Idiot. What? What an idiot. What an
idiot football game football game.
I'd be doing the same thing with my family. We'd be huddled
around and we'd be watching the championship games afraid is
football. I love it.
Yeah. I'd be home with my family. But if they all went to
bed I'd probably read an economic textbook
that's what I want my president do when I want them work in
Yeah, when I'm doing stuff for the for the for the country,
and then comes to the douchiest answer.
I'd be on the phone with my two boys in the United States.
Because you're a constant reminder of what is great about
this nation and awesome about the emerging generation.
Let me say something so a huntsman totally he's a CIA
spies Chinese asset. You get the hell out of here. Just go away
with honey out Chica ching ching. Yeah,
we heard you. Kami. Kami rat bastard. But let's talk about
Santorum for a second. Oh, by
the way, Gingrich would be will be kicking himself for days or
that comment because you know, he's a fat kid in school, never
played sports had nothing to do with them and just threw that
out realising what a gaffe, it was the audience dropped dead.
So remember the kid in school? Who had always kind of like who
would never get picked for dodgeball because when he was on
your team, he always got the ball thrown in his face and he
would cry got hit a lot. That is Santorum that is Santorum. He's
the guy who got the dodge ball in his face all the time. Yeah.
And he has no lips. He just has a hole like a poop hole in his
head. He has no no
sneering, he seems to be sneering constantly. And by the
way, I did catch another a night and I think it was throughout I
only caught one because I couldn't stand listening to the
guy. But by the
way, this is what we do. So you don't have to I know you all
were watching football and thinking. This is a great game.
Oh, and by the way, Saturday night, the championship games on
Monday night just for the record. So there Darren get that
right. But anyway, Santorum still at it. It's even catch a
little phrasing. Hold up for some bottom. Oh, I
know, I understand what I'm doing wrong. Sorry. I didn't
have it sorted by alphabetical. Now I can find everything okay,
read
some public policy centre, and wrote on the cause of Iran, and
wrote and lectured all over this country. I got involved with a
healthcare company. Why? Because I was afraid of what was going
to happen. And I was asked by a health care company to be on
their board of directors,
directors,
directors, because I was
right, because I was and that's that's a
note from one of our producers mentioning how this this
mechanism works. The neurolinguistics as soon as he
says why? Because it's supposed to ask for donations.
That's right. Why because you need to donate to the no agenda
because we
need the money. Why? Because we do. We came up short again. In
fact, we should mention our executive producers.
Okay, well, we'll do that. And then I want to continue because
I have a few other things. Oh, yeah. Extraneous.
We had if I if I had anything on the ball, why? Because then we
would be asking for more money. Good one, John. You're doing
well. You're doing well. All right. We do have a couple of
executive producers and a one Associate Executive yet to we
get. Guy Blasi.
I think it's Boise is the logic. Guy bolasie from Israel. He's
the guy that sent Mickey the emergency OB tampons when they
were no longer available in stores. I know she's cringing
right now. By the way.
He was 3693 you have his note? I do. Oh, you don't?
I didn't know I supposed to save his note. Oh, okay. Well, I
have his note. Hold on.
I have it. I just I wasn't
because I just watched the gardener knows when I'm thinking
of sorry. Yeah. Anyway, guy who's
he's finishing his knighthood. That's what the note was. This
is Yeah.
He says 2011 just ended a few days ago made it clear that
tritium is now under serious attack in all of Gitmo nation. I
think we can agree to that. So now it's 2012 starts with a new
project that just received I'm finally able to complete my
knighthood and offer some value back to you guys. I have been
forced into being a boner rather than a donor for too long. And
sending this donation clears a debt from my conscience. Thanks
for creating the best podcast in the universe. It would be great
if you could de douche me an offer some karma offers Gitmo
gambling visit this
absolutely when we appreciate it and we'll be very healthy happy
to welcome you to the coveted knights of the no agenda
roundtable later on in the programme. D deuced. You've got
tight, tight tight tight and read it all skim it from zo here
l hamari. from Dublin, Dublin Ireland. Yeah. Dublin Dublin
maybe is
Dublin, Ohio. There is a Dublin Ohio I think but it's probably
gets Dublin
Ireland is my guess I don't have a note from him. And finally,
exam Associate Executive Producer for today's show. Show.
Excuse me. 372 is is Mark siring
a new donor on the scene? Yeah, from Brooklyn.
This is a collaborative donation and they have our good friend
Tom Starkweather. From Derrick, Mark, Matt, Max, Pete and
Joseph. Ah, Joseph. Tom's birthday is on the 10th we like
to get my birthday shot. We'll do that today. Some karma and a
reminder to mind the beanbag. Starkweather. All right,
minute, beanbag. Starkweather. Here's your karma shot. You've
got karma. And by the way, Karma is a real real thing.
Apparently, people like it. People want it. People enjoy it
and works for them. We're not going to argue.
I actually think it's the sound of the bell. Oh, it's the harp
it's the harp without a doubt. It's one of the two maybe it's
the woman's voice. So I think
our campaign of donating is is loving is failing miserably.
Well as John Bosco Jr. mentioned, you haven't used it
right?
Oh, but they haven't used it right. Now it's my fault. Oh,
this is whenever just just so you know, whenever donations are
down, John will always send out an email to me saying yeah,
donations are in the toilet must be because you did this that or
the other. It's always something I did. You spoke about that. You
played that on the free stream. I did that once. You don't make
me publish all the emails, junk Lord, the rock.
Is that okay? Maybe a couple of times, see, see your
horrible man. And I know why you do it. You do it just because
you got nothing better to do.
We want to remind people to go to debark.org/na channelled of
arc.com/and a no agenda show.com or no agenda nation.com. And
yeah, the donations are down. And just I think it's the time
of year I think this time of year, we're always starts off
slow. We haven't got any good promotions. I blame myself for
that. I haven't sent out an update to email by 21. So and I
have neither one of us I have to give us a say it had been
promoting people to get on the mailing list.
Oh, I have it in every single show notes. It's right there at
the bottom of
it on my website. You but you should tell him to do it. People
are
like, Oh, I gotta click something that's like a lot of
work, man.
I have to type my address. We sat through
hours of bullcrap debate, we're gonna sit through more after the
show today, we're gonna listen to whatever they said this
morning. We have to continue. I mean, we're doing the work.
Please, we get and we and want to mention to people that we do
what pay was a week, which is 20 hours a month. And what you get
for going to a two hour movie that you'll spend, I took people
to see the movie Reese's 35 bucks for three people. And
that's minimum, plus all the crap you can buy the eat, which
I avoid. And it's just you know, it's just think of it as a as a
form of entertainment that you're you know, it's like, you
know, it's $5 subscription or, or just send in some extra
money, the leftover money in your PayPal account, or you
don't go on a date one night and figure out what the hundreds of
dollars that you were going to spend. You're not getting laid
now and not getting laid. Think about that. Yeah, send us money
when you're not getting laid. Just think of us.
Yeah, exactly. And it'll be just as satisfying I guarantee
you'll get screwed some other way. So we are screwed by the
government, then that's what we point out to you. So you're
getting screwed somehow.
But we shouldn't be listening to this programme and participating
in the many programmes we have in the karma programme should
without a doubt make you more interesting at cocktail parties
at that office party. Because you'll have something to say and
we teach you how to say it and not to come off like a total
douchebag and we help you out and you we give you sound clips
show notes. We're constantly on the tweeters
and we're doing a one liners you can steal from all of them,
please it's open source you can do whatever you want. You can
print up T shirts and sell them not give us anything if you
want.
Yeah, you can do whatever you one. It's open source Exactly.
Which is the only open source show Yeah, true. Everyone else
is all freaked out. Oh, they're gonna steal my name or brand
I've ruined by brand our brand was gonna steal no agenda name
and get away with it. It's not gonna happen. But what is the
value of our
brand? Really?
Apparently not much this week.
Right here comes time for the brain. programming.org/and a
donate. Donating is loving it. Let's do it again. You You
stepped on mahoma.org/and
A lie because donating
his loving a couple of PR associates did check in for this
programme with a couple of domain names that are forwarding
to the no agenda show.com website kicking it right off
with donating his loving.com Well, there you go. That makes a
lot of sense to have that domain name. So that actually forwards
to divorce.org/and A, which is where it should be forwarding
to. Then we have prostate of the union.com Do we have a prostate
of the union.com coming up? I guess so. We got a State of the
Union address coming up,
prostate.
Yeah, that's the domain name we have. plus Ross State of the
Union. Then we have your screwed.us which I like people,
that's a good one.
Well, wait until you hear the last one. Now we made a promise
to ourselves that in 2012 2012 which I can't I can't say 22 I
gotta say 2012 I'm like I can't get into 2020 You
can't act 2012 is what comes rolls off the off the tongue.
It has more weight I feel when I say 2012 Anyway, one of our
resolutions was Rexing a do something with a couple of these
domain names. Here's one I'd like to work on. That's not a
great question.com
I saw that one. That's a great question. You know we could all
you have to do is put up a Wiki on that page and let people just
find these not a great questions. Oh, you do? Model is
the following. Somebody asked somebody else a stupid question
that's usually pretty obvious or mundane and the other person
could replies with that's a great question. But not the
cynical voice I just gave right and it's it's just go I don't
know it's a pet peeve. What can I say? At least more people are
starting to notice it. I want
to do it like like Ron Paul won't when.com which you check
that website out. There's a little link there and you can
just afford medic it fills out an email everything all you have
to do is just paste in the link and then you send that off to me
and then I put it up mainly the list is growing by the way. A
pretty big list now Ryan Do you see that? Did you see the site?
Ron Paul won't win?
No, I have not seen it I
want to take a look at it. Look at the header graphic that as
well. Ron Ron Paul won't win.com won't win. Look at the graphic.
You got a picture of Andrea Mitchell That's a beauty Yeah,
one of the worst pictures of Trump imaginable. Yeah, perfect.
Anyway, everyone else out there of course you know, these are
real credit. This is something you can put on your resume we
will vouch for you unlike the phonies in Hollywood. In fact
that all the way up to the knighthoods I was on Maynard's
programme dirty disbelievers they're in Australia on the
Australian Broadcasting Corporation. I think it's going
to be on the stream. I linked to it a couple times in the show
notes as well as tweeted out the link to good show dirty
disbelievers and he took about an hour and a half of the
interview with me and basically chopped it down to four and a
half minutes. But still, there's some there's a good promotion
for us that's for sure. So
easy. So he is that that's a bonafide network guy that's
that's that's real mainstream media
our talk and you get like two minutes and it had to run
through ABC legal gotta go through legal
but he I mean, it's really funny. In fact, he's put it out
there so maybe we'll play it right after the show.
Well, we might as well play the since we're talking about
let me do this first because people always expect to know
that they also can go out and propagate the formula. Our
formula is this we go out we hit people in the mouth
Oh, yeah. Now moving well out well, on the topic of one Ron
Paul won't when I've got this Andrea Mitchell is an old
network hack married to the old Federal Reserve guy. Paulson.
No, no.
Greenberg, Greenberg. Greenberg. Yeah. Greenberg, Greenberg.
Greenspan,
Greenspan. GREENSPAN says, Oh,
hey, listen to us, aren't we the experts? Yeah. Where
are you? Hey, we have to get up at 7am with Chico she
used to be kind of hot, but now she's like, she's old. She's in
a turtleneck phase just to wear turtlenecks. She
apparently has to give it was given a script to slam Ron Paul.
Oh, yeah. And not being she's decent at me. You've seen her
broadcasts which she reads from a prompter while she does
everything. She's slick. But when given I guess when she had
to memorise a script, it was so confusing to her. That she
stammers and stutters and she just doesn't sound like a pro.
at all you have to say this is bullcrap. This has obviously
been scripted, and here she is blasting Ron Paul on one of the
morning, you know, chit chat shows so.
And when you when you feel that anger, it's that wrong track
number that we see is the anger against Washington, Ron Paul,
early on, tapped into that I think he really heard himself on
foreign policy and on making himself not electable. The sense
in the polls that we saw starting with the polls on
Wednesday, then our poll on Friday and yours today. The he's
just not acceptable to so many people because of his foreign
policy positions and going into South Carolina in particular.
That's going to be a very big problem I
get as No, Paul has always been the Ron Paul things overrated
and I'll go on the dangerous prediction limb and think he'll
be the surprise disappointing finish. Man, I need to add this
link. Oh, my goodness. Well, CBS, CBS did a great job. Listen
to this poll that they did. And this is all of course also with
video
expectations are high and what has become Romney's adopted home
state. A new Suffolk University poll shows him with a commanding
lead in New Hampshire at almost 30 points above his rivals. At
the same time, Newt Gingrich and John Huntsman have faltered.
Rick Santorum, who pulls in single digits here is looking to
give Romney a run in the Granite State after his near victory in
Iowa.
Excuse me. Where's Ron Paul, in your poll? They didn't even put
them on the screen. That didn't even mention them.
This has been going on since the beginning. And they straight to
it. It's absolutely crazy. Now, couple of things. Santorum, and
Romney, I got some video of them as they were out and about
before the debate. Now tell me if Santorum and when you listen
to him talking about on because the unemployment numbers, the
fake numbers went down a little bit. Now we're at eight and a
half percent of the fake numbers because it really what happens
is people just fall off the face of the earth and become bums and
are holding up the sign.
Floyd. Exactly. But listen,
now Santorum explains this minor change which of course, if
you're honest about it, just say this is bullcrap these numbers
of bull crap, and and people are just off the radar. But listen
to what he says and tell me the guy isn't insane.
Let me just share with you a couple of thoughts. Let me first
just share your thoughts on the on the unemployment numbers that
just came out today and very gratified to see that in spite
of President Obama's policies that the job market is beginning
to pick up a little bit. I think there might just be some
optimism that maybe Republicans are going to take the White
House and maybe that spring people to start taking some
risks. And I'll take that as a as a reason. They've gone out of
concern still that a lot of people are just staying out of
the job market and
people are staying out of the job market staying
out according to Senator voluntarily staying I don't
care what do you think he just doesn't stop there. He continues
this idiotic rant,
one of the reasons you see the unemployment rate go down is
because the labour participation rate is not going up, which
means that that people are not as hopeful as we'd like them to
be and, and engaging in the in the workforce. So
yeah, so let me just get this right. So, you know, I don't
like the way things are, I'm just not going to look for a
job. It's not time yet. It's not time yet. Santorum, you are the
biggest douchebag in the universe. What an idiotic thing
to say,
is total. It's unbelievable. But then we have
Romney, and he got called out by an AP reporter. This was
actually quite exciting. Of course, he didn't see this on
the news. where Romney saying, you know, I don't I'm not
attached to lobbyist and, and the AP reporter jumps on him.
And then he's like in a in like a general convenience store. He
has, in fact behind him as a sign that says ballpoint pens,
which is like whoever frame the shot should be shot. And Romney
lays into him. And there's an interesting second part to this.
I
I don't have lobbyists running my campaign. I don't have
lobbyists that are tied to my country. That is not true. Ron
Crossman is a lobbyist. He's not saying Did you hear what I said?
Did you hear what I said? I said, I don't have lobbyists
running my campaign. And he's not running my campaign. When he
was senior. He's an advisor and the person who runs my campaign
is Beth Meyers. And I have a whole staff of Deputy campaign
managers and it's been on the plane with you that fires is has
been on the plane with me and Beth Meyers is running my
campaign. Absolutely. Do I know window dressing? He's a potted
plant. Rod is a wonderful friend and advisor. He's not paid he's
an advisor like many others.
So what's going on here is the AP journalist correctly says you
got a top lobbyist is one of your advisors. Have you ever
Didn't you hear what I said? He said he's not running my
campaign, which is like, really? I did not have sexual relations
with that woman. And then afterwards this is this is the
thing that blew my mind. His Press Secretary Eric, whatever
his name is a total douche knuckle comes up and starts
berating this, this journalist about how unprofessional he is
and how we should conduct himself first Romney comes up to
him and says hey, man, you know you're this is not true what
you're saying
campaigns he's not running my campaign decisions. Another
lobbyist Listen to my words or words or your campaign or advice
arguments Erica, let's let's talk let's you and I talk
professionally, yeah, argumentative with the candidate
save you save. Save your opinions. Of saviour.
Professional save your opinions. Don't be argumentative with the
candidate Shut up you slave. That's That's how it's run.
That's how your media is supposed to behave. And normally
they do.
Did you see it? Yeah, normally they do. They very rarely did
you see?
Sorry. Notice I'm sorry. I didn't want to step on you. Go
ahead.
No, I've seen normally I do I'm looking up who is the press guy?
Andrew something or other? You really want to know because I
can find
Oh no, no, I'm gonna look him up.
Meanwhile, Donohue Phil Donahue longtime talk show host who
I think I'm glad you got this clip because I did blog it but I
never I couldn't I think
he essentially got fired because he was against I don't know
killing brown people in sand. Did he come out and say hey, you
know, we shouldn't be doing this war stuff and it was Iraq. And
then he got pushed out
ya know, he was he's always been a kind of a peacenik Yeah, well,
so where we were peaceniks
people don't want war they're not like up on the stage like
these Republican guys that's bomber
know what they're up I got a nuclear weapon so I shortened it
up significantly
and by the way bom bom bom bom bom Moran which is McCain
humorous no tear up so years ago is also disgusting.
So Donahue actually says, you know this is crazy. Everyone
just wants to go to war wants to kill people.
And when the roads the fixing, I can definitely take a video of
this little interested the freeway up here that I bet I'm
telling you if you go if you take this entrance of the
freeway, it will break your axle.
I think Nikki broke my axle last night. I don't know why Phil
Donahue was on other than to deliver this message, which I'm
fine with. But here it is.
It looks like we've become a warrior nation. We bombed
Grenada, Grenada. We are dropping bombs on crowded cities
at night where old people and children are sleeping. And we're
watching it on CNN. And the only voice that's spoken up at all in
this campaign about this is Ron Paul. Why are we so
interventionist? He wants to know, what are we doing with all
these wars? How are we safer? These are very common sense
observations. And no other candidate can possibly speak
those words. It would be they believe, politically fatal. Now
think about that. You can't you can't use an anti war platform
to get elected. So maybe that explains why it's so easy for us
to go to war. Norma Solomon has written a book, which is more
war made easy and essentially says if a President of the
United States wants a war, he can have one. And I believe that
totally. Yeah.
That's right. Yeah, just as a note, just to promote the
warrior culture. I do have a clip which is the clip is red
tail. If I saw this is George Lucas has come out of semi
retirement to produce a movie, which does most of the CG have a
bunch of I guess it's a World War Two seen as something that
glorifying I mean, people should go watch the movie all's Quiet
on the Western Front if they want to see, you know, a
situation where we're the glorification of war meets
reality, glorifying war and some sort of almost in a Star Wars
kind of way. It but it's like, it's like what is this is this
was this world war two or a high school pep rally when you watch
this crazy film and there's a beautiful clip within it. But
if you have not assigned as a single forward mission,
we need to change the way we fight. Can you help save lives.
We count our victories by the husbands we returned to their
wives. By the fathers we get back to the children
to the last minute to the last man we fight, we fight we fight
we fight we fight we fight at 13 America.
Unbelievable, man. It's like guys are doing apologise in
front of the card section. I haven't
college I apologise for the culture of what is being
disseminated is not like all of us here. I'm gonna just drop the
stream and reconnect for a second people are saying that,
that something's choppy. So that's not going to affect our,
our broadcast and we go that should change something.
Meanwhile, C span has this programme as the series called
The road to the White House. Have you ever watched this? Or
you've come across it? Obviously,
y'all Yeah, no, I watch it all the time.
Well, did you see the other candidates who were speaking?
Yeah, there's a
bunch of them. There's a slew of them. Yeah. So well, there was a
can't even get any.
Well, no, they haven't. They haven't had a whole hour a whole
hour where the there was actually some serious people
asking serious questions. serious candidate questions. And
the farce of it is the people asking the questions are real
political analysts, they're in the parties. And they and they
actually go into the into the programmes, by the these
alternative candidates, although the one I'm going to play for
you is a Democrat, and he wants to get on the on the on the
ballot, I guess I'm not quite sure how it works. And the guy?
Well, I'll tell you what he's what he looks like after you
listen to this little q&a.
This is not the first time you have run for president and right
Hampshire primary. And President Romney has been accused, and I'm
not taking a position. Why,
by the way, notice the guy says President Romney, Romney, but he
says President just pause what he said. Exactly. Yeah, says
President Romney, which is interesting, because this is one
of the guys who just so probably he's already this guy. The fix
is in on him, but doesn't matter because that's not the humour of
the clip.
book anyway.
Yeah. President Romney has been accused and I'm not taking a
position one way or the other of taking different positions on
different issues. I'm asking you right now are do you still stand
by your pledge made in 2008 to provide a pony for every
American? Yes, I
do, sir. Free ponies for all Americans, one of the Overlook
issues.
This guy, vermin supreme, is wearing a boot on his head. I
kid you not a boot upside down on his head. And his platform is
a free pony for everybody in America
today. My free pony platform is of course a jobs creation
programme, it will create lots and lots of jobs once we switch
over to a pony based economy will also lower our dependence
on foreign oil. We'll also be able to turn all that pony poop
into methane gas and wonderful compost. So we'll be able to
read up our soil that has been depleted by agro chemicals, etc,
etc, etc. And of course, the important thing to realise is
that it is a federal pony identification programme where
you will need your pony with you at all times. Thank you very
much.
So So tell me John. I mean, obviously the guy I mean, he's,
he's not insane, because he's doing this for a reason is this
to to show how ridiculous everything is? Or what do you
think it is?
I think it's a well yeah, I mean, it's just a satire. So
he's, it's the mock,
he actually has a really good idea. Which is, well,
there's only so you only poop while he?
He follows up on his pony platform with a brilliant energy
independence plan. But first, of course, we have to have a
serious question to follow up on the pony platform. That's your
next question is for Mr. Supreme. Mr. Supreme. I wanted
to follow up Ambassador shoemakers question. Actually an
ambassador Ross that question that's great. Yes. The ponies?
Yes.
Is that the only Governor Have an entitlement programme that
you support. What other entitlement programmes are you
for
just that one? That's That's enough. But I in the vein of
energy production, I'd also like to address my harnessing the
awesome power of zombies. For energy sources. It's not just to
run away from anymore. No, we have giant turbines that we're
working on. And we will have lots of zombies and we'll just
sort of dangle brains in front of them and then they will turn
the giant turbines creating energy to lessen the dependence
on foreign oil in America here today.
God bless America. I love that idea.
Vermin supreme.
Vermin Supreme is awesome.
Yeah, I mean, McCracken from New Hampshire. I see his picture
now.
I mean, it's either that guy or it's
tiny owl. Chicka ching ching.
I'd rather have the zombie guy,
I think, put him on. This is where he says he's kind of a
crusty looking character. I think there's a potential here
to mock Ron Paul,
though Tom would totally totally call Absolutely.
But just you know, gold standard pony standard. Raise
him on? Why are so many people. So against Ron Paul's hunkering
towards a return? I don't think he necessarily says the gold
standard. But back to a gold standard. Why are people so why
do people say that's crazy would kill us? Are you would you say
that that would break everything and ruin the whole universe? If
that happened? No, I
think it would stabilise the price of gold,
obviously. But wouldn't it stabilise the dollar and other
currencies? If
it can't? It would It would change the economic structures
does not design for this sort of thing anymore. And it wouldn't
be necessarily a good thing. But you don't know. I mean, and I
don't know I'm not crazy about it. I wasn't crazy about the
idea when we went away from the silver standard. And the silver
certificates which used to say on $1 bill when I was a kid
until just actually till recently kind of this the dollar
bill, the bills, it was said that one of three things either
said us note FEDERAL RESERVE NOTE or silver certificate,
silver certificate, right? I remember those. Yeah. And it
was, and the difference was, was the ink colour. The US notes
were red printed with the red stamp and the Federal Reserve
with the green stamp that we see in the front, a little stamp
thing. And then the silver certificates were blue. And then
they took all the silver certificates off the market. And
they and then they took the US notes off the market and all you
had for currency was Federal Reserve notes all out of the
blue. I think it was in the 60s or 70s, maybe the 70s Yeah, and
I'd have to look it up 7372 or 73, I think.
And that was during the last depression. And which was 40
years ago, and where we are going to do now I don't know
that it did any good, more war.
So the only two things just to wrap up this Republican X
Factor, reality show Stephanopoulos I just wanted to
say that you know, Stephanopoulos really is making
moves this email, he of course, was the spokes hole for Bill
Clinton. And he is now taken aback this week on ABC News from
Chris Christiana animal among among poor,
because nobody could pronounce her name exactly.
Well, she's She sold out, of course. And but she, I guess she
still tried to be like a serious journalist on ABC. And they
went, I'm sorry, we're not having any of that. But now
they've actually brought back john banner who is going to be
producing this week. So you know, the big fixes in and that
will not help any, any candidates other than whoever is
determined by the powers that be?
Well, we already know that.
And then a final thing which I need. This came in very late
just before the show. One of our producers sent me this note that
Rick, Sam Torrance and Toram, I'm quoting verbatim thought
enough of Jerry Sandusky nine years ago, to sponsor the former
Penn State Defence coordinator for a quote congressional angels
in adoption award. citing his work with a nonprofit group he
founded to provide care for foster children.
Right, which shows you what it what a dipshit Santorum is, and
he doesn't get it. I have a clip by the way that I have to say we
did the whole family's watching this everybody and buzzkill Jr.
Caught this. And I don't I'm irked that I didn't catch it.
But listen to the Santorum commentary on gay couples and
see if you can catch the gotcha in here. That's, that's just too
funny.
Then this issue becomes moot if we don't have a federal law. I'm
certainly not going to have a federal law that bans adoption
for gay couples when they're only gay couples in certain
states. So this is a state issue, not a federal issue. You
know,
we have no gay couples in Texas. I just want you to know,
there's only a couple in
certain states. Yeah, there's California maybe If that's
funny, oh, we hear that again. There's only so let's see, let's
just
how this is what it what an out of touch idiot this guy is.
Well I'm How about Diane Sawyer Shouldn't she was saluting him
and saying, Hey, I salute you on on recognising that there's no
gays in certain no gay couples in certain states,
then this issue becomes moot if we don't have a federal law, I'm
certainly not going to have a federal law that bans adoption
for gay couples when they're only gay couples in certain
states. So this is a state issue, not a federal issue.
I wish they had come to Ron Paul on that because he would have
said the only thing that's correct because they made it all
sound like marriage, according to the Constitution is between a
man and a woman which is factually incorrect. And Ron
Paul, like it's not in the Constitution at all. Ron Paul
says, The government should get out of the business of marriage
altogether, which is the only correct answer but they of
course didn't want to come to him on that. Of course not.
Quarterly good article in salon magazine. On progressive
handstand,
the ads. Oh, I
hate these ads. You're not salon magazine distinct he comes up
and takes over the whole screen. Here's
what you do. Here's what you do.
Do you have I've talked to editors around the country about
these different publications and they all man we don't like it
either. But the advertising department insists Do you and
then you say well, look, the studies show that you're going
to lose readership you're gonna lose this you're gonna lose that
you're not gonna have this good audience. I know they they we
show him that data but as tenses because they like it. Do you
have do you know readability?
What about readability instal
the browser plugin from readability.com Okay, and, and
whenever you hit a pay there's a whenever I go and whenever I'm
linked to a salon page unless you immediately hit the tilde
key so you don't even have to do anything on the browser just hit
the tilde key and immediately converts it without the ads
beautiful Cepi a background nice big letters really nicely
formatted if it's multiple page now what they do so you hit more
stupid ads. It already has one page with all the pages on it.
That is the way these guys of course are going to be sued into
oblivion eventually
I don't think you can sue them
you can sue anybody for
anything well as you can harass sue them Yeah, yeah, but
you gotta instal readability and even though sites where you know
the other thing thing I hate you used to do that by the way until
we discussed it on the show and you got rid of them those double
underline where you
did that for a very short time as an experiment and it was so
annoying when it pops up that money though I made like a
couple 5060 bucks you make almost nothing the whole thing
is a total scam. It's a house of cards. And the worst ones are
the ones where you're when you're you're mousing over it it
lights up Yeah, and the other one that kills me is you're on a
web page and a little a little box shows up and then it follows
you up and down the webpage and you end there's no way of
turning it off you gotta you look around because they hide
the closed button yeah
oh yeah no and if you try and hit the Close button it opens up
the paid the full page app anyway we digress So anyway the
story and Salon
Yeah, well, they go it's about progressives and how they I
actually don't actually open it up and read a graph from it
because it discusses the progressives and how they refuse
to even listen anything Ron Paul has to say because Oh, yes, I
saw I have it in the show notes actually. Yeah. Oh, good. The
one loan things that he says and then they, the guy who's wrote
the column goes on with a, a rant about meanwhile, the same
progressives and let me see if I can find the paragraph. The same
progressives don't seem to care about the fallacy of this
reasoning is glaring. The candidates supported by
progressive Obama, himself holds numerous heinous views on a slew
of critical issues and he goes on slaughtering civilians by the
dozens. Because of drones, not once or twice but continuously
sought to overturn global ban on cluster bombs institutionalise
the power of presidents and secret no checks to target
American citizens for assassination by the CIA, far
from any battlefield and Yemen. He has waged an unprecedented
war against whistleblowers and protection of which was once a
liberal civil if he can see rendered permanently irrelevant
to war powers resolution, the crown jewel of the list of post
Vietnam liberal accomplishments goes on and on and on with all
this crap. And these quote unquote progressives, you know,
they put up with this but you know, do Ron Paul's newsletter
20 years ago made some assertion about being mugged by a black
man in downtown Chicago. Sorry, Chicago, and he's can't listen
to the guy. He's nuts. He's crazy. Dr. Paul Jarrett Rachel
Matt out
here. He's an old codger.
I mean, it's a really a good article because let's just let
lashes into this rout of hippie hypocrites. Yep.
Now it's linked in the show notes. 372 dot n a show
notes.com. I have one more. Very just like one of those clips. We
go, Oh, wow. Fox and Friends, which by the way, I've looked at
all the cable news ratings, Fox and Friends does very well. Not
every single cable news show does very well with people to
Fox. Yeah, with people up to 64 years old. In fact, 3464 is the
biggest audience except for one that is split evenly, which is
Erin Burnett. But she has the smallest audience of all ends
like 184,000 in the 2434 demo, and 190,000 in the 3464 demo, so
no one's watching her a total failure. But Fox by far is is
bringing in the big old audience. And they have Huckabee
on via via Skype or whatever. And listen to what he said about
just listen to this
President Obama's new year's resolution but 2012 Attack
Congress as part of his reelection strategy, and so
called disengage, Will this really work?
Governor Mike Huckabee IS BACK WITH US government. This is an
interesting strategy of the president because obviously
Congress's approval ratings are at an all time low. They're at
5%. According to the New Rasmussen report, however, as
you'll recall it President Obama on the campaign trail was going
to be this post partisan president, he was going to rise
above the fray. He was not going to he was gonna make Washington
work. He was gonna make Washington work he was gonna see
compromise. So what do you think's going on here?
Well, first of all, you know, if you notice Congress approval
ratings just barely above a paedophile. I mean, it's
terrible. It's abysmal.
Is He's insane. I mean, so Congress has a 5% approval
rating. Please tell me which 4% of the American people approve
of paedophiles.
4% who are paedophiles,
I guess? I mean, that what is on his mind that,
you know, you got to remember that Huckabee is a wannabe stand
up comic. Oh, he was a beam as a Baptist minister in the pulpit
did a lot of he got very popular because he did material when he
was in the pulpit. He's and he tries to be funny as possible
when he was running for president in 2008. He was the
only guy with a sense of humour. It's a little perverse his sense
of humour, but it is he does have a sense of humour and he
can actually tell jokes. And when he has his show is what
weekend show he does Monday does some material on there. Yeah. So
he's the thought that was hilarious line. He probably
wrote it. Well, he's, I don't I mean, you obviously wrote it,
but I mean, he wrote it in advance of the question, so he
was ready to rock with it. Well, he's
an idiot. I mean, I mean, of all the things to say. That's just
like, really, you are such a douche knuckle. Anyway. Yeah. I
got plenty of other cool stuff that I want to see where you're
going where you're headed today.
But yeah, JC wants to know, is the streams backup because he's
saying no,
look, I'm not in charge of that. I'm connected and get most
places says it is okay. Yeah. I mean, people are having
problems. You know, blame it on. Blame it on the rain. Hey, well,
I don't know what's going on. It's SOPA.
So I have a couple of clips that I was listening to like, I just
had this assertion before that the people when you're on the
network, and there's a lot of action going on, and people on
the floor, you have to realise what's going on behind the
cameras as a bunch of you're not generally not listening. But the
best example of not listening on Fox was this woman who's then on
the weekend, that weekend, new show, this is guy he decides to
drop in a kind of an old term from the 60s 70s 80s that nobody
uses anymore, where you just add Oh, yeah, that guy's a douche.
Nick. You know, or a you know, you just add Nick to the end
because it was referenced.
Like Nick Smoot Nick. Oh, really? Is that was that where
the Nick came from? was originally from spicy. Oh,
really? Yeah. No words do matter. Thank you.
So so this guy says something and this woman Ms hears it and
she was she thinks that here are her hearing of what she thought
she heard was funnier. And then she rides it through right to
the end and this becomes this this farce. So play no good
nick. Good Nix.
You're just sitting there minding your own business. Yep.
Suddenly some no good next ran right into some no goodness. For
some no goodness. stunning new information about a toddler in
you're fired.
You're fired. Idiot. No, not like that was a great Oh, that
was a great remark. No goodness. And it's so sad. And you know
what I tried to watch like PBS NewsHour. or I tried to watch
you know, the the nightly news like the big the big Tiffany
network news. And if it's a million times worse, it's just
crazy.
Yeah, well, the first part of it, they have this one guy.
What's his name that the Spanish and Latino guy with the big
square head, Geraldo. It says not as big as this guy's think
of it. But anyway, he they give him these long segments where he
interviews somebody, and it's obviously miss time, every time
the segment should have ended. It goes on at least two or three
minutes longer,
or his cognitive commercial breaks so that you can't do
that. So he goes on
and on and on with these stupid questions. I find that the News
Hour is is not a lot of fluff.
Well, there was. I was watching the news hour. And I don't know
if you've heard of these of this outfit, but I did quite a bit of
research into them. A couple of people also emailed me about it
thinking it was great. And at first blush you might think it
is Here's the setup. As the two founders of this new
organisation, we're on PBS newshour no third
party candidate has won a US presidential election since
1860. But with unemployment staying high worries about
another recession and mounting public disapproval of Democrats
and Republicans alike. Could voters be frustrated enough with
Washington to up and the way they select their president in
2012? Well, one new group thinks so Americans Elect as a
nonprofit organisation that wants to change the nominating
process. By holding the first ever nonpartisan political
convention in cyberspace. Voters can weigh in on their top issues
and use an online voting system to nominate a candidate to place
on the presidential ballot in all 50 states. For more on the
effort, we're joined now by Elliot Ackerman, He's chief
operating officer for Americans Elect and a decorated veteran of
both the Afghanistan and Iraq wars. And former Clinton advisor
and democratic pollster DOUGLAS SCHOEN, he sits on the group's
board of advisors, and it's great to have you both. Thanks,
Elliot Ackerman to you first, our political parties have been
around since the birth of the country practically we have a
stable system of government. Why circumvent them?
Well, I think what's important to realise is, this isn't
another political party. This isn't a third party. This is a
second nominating process. And the vision here is that in
November of 2012, when American voters go to the poll, there'll
be a third ticket, that they've directly nominated themselves so
that Americans Elect will be holding the first ever
nonpartisan online nominating convention, Any registered voter
can be a delegate to that convention, and a ticket that
comes out of convention is going to be on the ballot in all 50
states.
So I'm very interested by this Americans elect.org. And have
you gone to the website yet? And I'm sure you're already looking
at it now. So the CEO, Chief Executive Officer, is Khalil
bird, a member of Council on Foreign Relations. So already,
of course, my hair starts to stand up. They're like, we're
the most transparent, you know, they're a 5031 C four
Corporation, which means they do not have to disclose their
donors. They do have the form 990 Online, which I took a look
at. And they have one donor of little over $5 million, and that
is the Webster group. And the Webster group is it. It's a
fundraising group who also do dinners and stuff. And it looks
kind of like the wives of politicians who have really
nothing better to do, but to do all kinds of they raise money
for breast cancer awareness. The the president CEO is this woman
named Linda, Linda see Webster, who is wife to former CIA
director William Webster, if so, these are huge fundraisers. And
if you look at it, the $5 million, they raised that $5
million through personal contacts and telephone outreach,
because that's something you have to check off on form 990.
So they basically called in a whole bunch of favours, or did
they? Because I'm looking at this website, if you go to who
we are. You'll see a chief leadership officer Wendy Drake,
who of course, is the President of the Webster group makes so
much sense that they're actually working together. But then look
at this list of of leadership. I mean, there's just, I mean,
right down to Rothschild. I mean, is this DOUGLAS SCHOEN
guy, everyone's on this thing.
Yeah, they're all internationalists.
But I noticed some names. I'm like, this is interesting. And
it turns out, many of these names show up on the
International Crisis Group. Which of course, is the Open
Society Institute George Soros funded outfit that is trying to
you know, get the shills into Egypt and this thing is total
bogus live. Yeah, I
think it's a setup to get a third party to to submarine any
possibility that a Republican can win because they've got to
keep Obama in because zactly perfect for them. You know, he
does what he's told he's like, you know, big pro Patriot Act,
creating wars everywhere. It's like a lot of money flowing
through the system because of his, especially outside the US.
Whereas you can you can scarf up as much as you can. It's a scam.
This thing's obvious scam. Yeah.
But people are taking it seriously, because you can do
this thing. Like you can take this poll and let you answer all
kinds of questions. And then it'll tell you basically, you
know, that according to their system, they spent a million
dollars on their platform, according to their
documentation, why? Techno X experts cost a lot of money to
make this platform that 68% of Americans love the drone
programme. So yeah, so I'm really I'm all on board with
this. So you got to boycott this thing, whatever it is, the
Ackerman family. They're all over the place. ackermans dad,
his mom and sisters like discussing this Khalil bird guy.
He's running the whole thing. And it's nice for out of his
bedroom. He's the only one making money on it. It's just
it's scam.
Ya know, it's a total scam, obviously a scam. So we had
a presidential memorandum come out. Oh, yes. And, you know,
there were some Did you read about the report that, you know,
there were mass killings in southern Sudan?
Yeah, I did hear about that. Bummer, right. Oh, yeah. downer.
Yeah. If you're Sudanese, Southern Sudanese. So the
President comes out on what is this Wednesday? January 6,
Monday? Yeah.
I guess whatever. Yeah, today's the eighth. So Friday, six would
be Friday.
memorandum for the Secretary of State, Lucifer. This is for you.
Subject presidential determination on the eligibility
of South Sudan to receive defence articles and defence
services under the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as
amended and the arms Export Control Act as amended. In other
words, we can send services, which I guess means what does
that mean? contractors or whatever?
Yeah, contractors gonna, you
know, clean up the place. Defence articles, that's guns
and stuff. Yeah, and only guns and bombs. And he and he has the
audacity to say this in his, in his memorandum, I hereby find
that furnishing the defence articles and defence services,
which means weapons and people who train people how to operate
it to the Republic of South Sudan, because it will
strengthen the security of the United States and promote world
peace. Really, so send more guns to promote world peace.
Unfortunately, unfortunately, something backfired because the
UN came out on Saturday the day after and said, Well, we went to
South Sudan and we find no evidence of reported mass
killings. No evidence whatsoever it didn't even happen it was
quote, according to the UN a false alarm
or false flag Thank you. Yeah.
So that's your current president the war monger.
You know, a lot of people get in office and it goes to their
power goes to their head. Jimmy, we've essentially elected Hugo
Chavez
as well, he has his own little show though, man, the
residential and that you like to watch
westwing week, but it's so shows that it's a moment, but it's
boring. At least alo president is funny.
I don't know that it's any better. The only time we've ever
seen is when they show it you know, they bring clips from it.
They make the funny parts. I mean, I'm sure I'll love all
Obama.
Just Allah president you can use
President Obama can use the same graphic. This was just funny
moments in that show once in a while.
No, I have not played anything from the West Wing Week in
months because it's so boring. It's always the same like Obama
great. It hired curry DeVore at Consulting Group, they show up
you could sell that thing to Bravo in a heartbeat. Yeah. We'd
be on Bravo.
Boy, they can have as much money.
I did have a laugh though. At Lucifers little department over
there. What does she try to begin? Oh yeah. The State
Department of State so they've decided they're going to do a
Twitter, Twitter press conferences, and the and the way
it works. How do you do a Twitter press conference? Let
me explain. So they have turns out 100 I think social mentioned
in this clip 135 Twitter feeds 135. And I'm okay with one. And
you have to tweet your question to the Twitter feed in your
country in your language. And then that question, they show it
on the screen. And then that question is answered by the
spokes hold there at the State Department. So you can imagine
that this is obviously 100% propaganda,
because you need a lot of people to go out to follow this this
whole thing and do a lot of no agenda. show.com ITM? Yeah. Have
you done? Have you listened to Dvorak and curry, you
know, just all the higher curried Devora Consulting Group,
hire care,
curry Devorah Consulting Group, that'd be good. If you want to
get out of this yet, we're in one of these days, people want
to know, this is all we're really about this whole thing is
a setup is just
one big open solicitation for work. So you have to hear the
question about Iran, which is a beautiful setup. And and the
answer just was like confirmation of the techno
experts we know about, but wow, to have it. Just so brazenly
told with numbers and figures, this is just crazy.
Our next question comes from our Farsi feed at USA dar Farsi.
It's a two part question from at mn LV. Asked state Iran is about
to cut off the internet. What's the status of the suitcase
internet? And what is the US procedure on the new threat to
the US Navy? I assume? You mean NLP the the threats of the
Iranian government's and making?
So first of all, what a setup that Iran is not about to cut
off the internet. Where did you even get that from?
It's, you know, the question is rigged
to us freedom of navigation in the Straits of Hormuz. First of
all with regard to the internet, I'd like to say that Iran is
more adept at blocking the free flow of information to its
citizens than citizens than almost any other country in the
world. It's a fact it's a fact. That's bull crap.
There's more in Farsi is the most spoken language or most
written language on the internet. That's the fact Farsi
is number 1am. I incorrect on that.
I don't know that you're correct. I think so.
See, most spoken language on inter webs?
Has to be English or Chinese.
No, I think it's Farsi my friend. Oh, top 10. Top 10
Internet languages. Let's see. No, you're right. It's Chinese.
I always thought that Farsi was at the top.
Where did you get this false information, my friend book of
knowledge, and we
are deeply concerned about new reports of measures that Iran is
taking to curtail internet freedom, including draconian
surveillance techniques, techniques,
like the ones that we use on you in America, on Second Street in
San Francisco, where we suck up all your data, that draconian
method, that we're selling them the creation. Oops, sorry, that
was my email when I was recording this clip of a
national
internet which would essentially cut around citizens off from the
global Internet.
Does she really believe this crap that they can cut off
the entire say wrote a column about this? Oh, tell me I'm
predicting that actually, Belarus and Iran have both
discussed the possibility of of Belarus will do it first of
creating what they call a national internet, which means
that they essentially cut out all you can cut out all outside
trance, you know, packets, you just close off everything and
you just make your you keep the internet. But my thinking is,
that's what we're going to do with VA and all this other
stuff, because it's easier for us to do it and get away with it
because no one will notice. I mean, how many people actually
go to Alibaba? Or how many people go to hit the websites in
the UK and you can also have them licenced. You can have
licenced sites. UK site from the telegraph, or is it sanctioned
approved sanction to prove licenced advertising whatever
you want to call it? And you can have those so it still looks
like you have an international link but you can have the
internet just nationalise it just a nap until the internet,
because when the internet began, as you recall, it was really
mostly in the United States. So what difference does it make?
Well, of course, the word kind of breaks now, all you need is
one, one person with a bank of phones and you know, just
connect creating a gateway. And it's not easy. It's not a simple
process.
I mentioned in the column, which is in PC mag, by the way, if
anyone wants to read it. I mentioned the column. But yeah,
there'll be hackers and other people that will worm their way
out through VPN, there's all kinds of ways of doing it, not
just that way. And yet people will be able to get up but no,
the public at large. You think the United States if we should
walled off the internet made it a national internet, so we
weren't talking to China and the Chinese couldn't get after the
argument, the President would come and say what we're doing
this because most people just go to the amazon.com. Man,
tmz.com is not working man.
And T internet's down, they go to Wikipedia, they go to all the
local stuff. You're right. And this will keep the Chinese from
cyber war because they're gonna kill us if they get in somehow
they eat babies. And so I think this is the way it's headed.
Well, meanwhile,
we're pretty busy over there, check it out recession.
When you create these kinds of national internets, they
generally internetseite Cleared information and they and they
cut people off. And these kinds of efforts at at surveillance
with cameras and collecting of personal informations is only
available in the United States Meishan sort of chill the
environment. They discourage people from using the internet
at all. And in that, no, they don't find that perspective. We
consider them relations of the spirit of collaboration and the
human rights of Iran citizens. As Secretary Clinton said in a
speech on internet freedom in The Hague last month, yeah,
which
no one watched except the US,
creating digital barriers would be disastrous, not only for
Iranians, but for the the global freedom that the internet
represents. She cautioned that breaking the Internet into
pieces would just create little echo chambers, rather than
creating a thriving marketplace of ideas. And
by the way, the internet is a collection of little pieces you
do snorkel
can echo chambers. Now what do
you think we're spending on these techno experts that we had
that we're outfitting with internet suitcase?
Know that they're not spending a lot of money on that the freeway
entrance over here, this guy?
How much money would you need to fix that up to patch,
I believe, the 100 Grand Max, so we're probably spending, we
couldn't possibly be spending more than that, oh, boy, we
want to see the people of Iran be able to participate fully in
that global marketplace of ideas. Yes. So we are working
very hard to assist the people of Iran in challenging and
bypassing their government's efforts, which is an act of war,
as far as I'm considered to draw an electronic curtain down
around the Iranian people and to block communication with the
outside world. To protect the people who use some of these
programmes and techniques. I'm not going to get into the
specifics here,
because they're at their spies working for the State
Department.
But I will tell you that we fund a range of programmes and
initiatives and empower Iranians to access unfiltered
information, to speak freely and to speak safely online. Nearly
we spend nearly $70 million a year on these programmes 70
million
a year robbing $70 million dollars a year to give so people
into Iran into the their their whatever their spy network, the
technical experts, the techno experts, the ones that show you
how to use the internet cafe they're trying, they're always
gonna put cameras in the internet cafes. No wonder the
Iranians are so freaked out with all that and we brag about it.
Here's what we're gonna do next year, these bozos? How
many? How many technical experts do you think we've trained so
far?
Well, let's see what take a crew of about seven people to fix
this freeway on ramp, probably about maybe twice that many.
It's an Iran and around the world. At the same time, we're
also developing and distributing new technologies, more than 20
of them
20 New technologies. I can't wait to find out what those are.
But you can't talk about that, obviously. So let's find out how
many technical experts we have trained to empower
activists around the globe to access uncentered censored
content on the internet and to communicate with each other and
to tell their stories. And to date, we've funded the training
of more than 7500 activists around the world watch in these
programmes. Good job,
everybody. 7500
on the American ticket
that's bigger than our entire audience. Unbelievable. And it
was 7499 and they added Andy Carvin.
So I have a clip play this one this is this was on one of the,
actually one of the Charlie Rose show, they were discussing the
Iranian situation, and I don't have the whole clip, I cut it
down, but play sticking it to Iran fat financial war clip.
Now the sanctions are going to be about cutting government
revenue. And I think the Iranians think the sanctions are
moving into a whole new arena, and therefore that's a problem.
Jay, may add to that.
I think what we're seeing, and I know there's a lot of fear
amongst a lot of people is that the financial war now on Iran
really is, in some ways, unprecedented. I mean,
basically, their entire financial system is being cut
off from the global economy. And as of the end of this month,
there's gonna be a European basically embargo on all oil
sales. And I think there's a concern that you can have like a
situation like Japan, you know, going into the Second World War,
where you had the full embargo on Japanese oil coming in from
Indonesia, and they lashed out with Pearl Harbour a lot of
people forget that this was kind of what happened before the
Japanese moved, but the amount of the financial pressure on
Iran is so intense now.
He mentions that essentially, we've declared war on their
central bank. Yeah. And he says, and it's an act of war, by
anybody's definition. But here we are, again, with an
undeclared war done by the president with his assistant,
Hillary, Lucifer, Lucifer, and it's just astonishing that
nobody you know, well, you know, those bastards in Iran they,
they fucked us. I mean, what did they do? I mean, specifically,
besides sit there and you know, we've rugs and and shake their
fist.
Stop that rug weaving a rainy Berber carpets, by the way, I
gotta tell you something good there. John, I think based upon
the amount of feedback, I think we have a new segment on the
show. Okay, what would that what would that be the outstanding
food product of the week?
Are we going back you got more carrots? No, I have now check
this out. I have a Garrett down. Check it out. Check it out. This
is a bread and
butter pickle. From the Ottmar family farm here in Austin.
Ottmar Todd, Mark OTT M er, an outstanding product. It is so
good. Because of course there's no high fructose corn syrup to
sweeten it. So they use a little bit of real sugar and a bell
pepper in there. And it just drives you nuts. You can't stop
eating these things. Outstanding food product of the week.
Hi. Well, you've got me topped
we go to the farmers market every Saturday morning.
When we do this segment. Does the food have to be crunchy? I
think it must.
Yeah. Well, if it's not crunchy than that doesn't quite work if
it's in you. And I also had a had a vegan brownie that was
made with the little bit of her name was made with a little bit
of Chipotle. So yeah, but you know, it doesn't sound good on
the show now. Anyway, the farmers markets here in Austin
are they have a whole sustainable food community and
they're very serious about it. You go on, even Greg you get
some eggs on the carton of the eggs. It has the name of the
chicken.
That's nice to get real eggs down there. Yep.
And if you know so we bought a whole chicken and he says you
know this this chickens name well I forgot the chickens name
we ate it you know I've handled this chicken 16 times over the
past nine weeks. And you know they've got pictures of their
walking around you
know and hanging out. That's such a good thing if you have
kids in the family. I'll tell you this kids don't like eating
animals who have need to have names.
Now I like and I think it's your it's you
I think it's a good idea is great
we got honey made made here locally in Austin and but the
the produce itself is just so outstanding and the carrots and
the spinach it's just and you walk away at the at the end of a
shopping spree and it's like a third of what you'd pay it you
know, like Whole Foods or some other crazy place like that. Oh
yeah. And you're quicker you get done much quicker.
Yeah, and you're better off for it and everybody say actually a
community events is fun.
It is and they always have a band playing or or a musician.
It's just great. Love it. So happy we moved here. How you
doing up there and you More than half of
fresh fruits and vegetables here were in California the
breadbasket of the country.
The broke bed breadbasket of the country. Yeah, well that's that
I'm gonna show my mood by donating to no agenda Imagine
all the people who could do that. Oh yeah, that'd be fun
donating is loving
so I think the real mean we by the way that you can explain
this but because the research has shown that explaining it
doesn't change anything. I don't think donating is loving even
though JC hasn't corrected me on this. Because loving is not the
same as love
to saying it should be donating his love. Yeah.
Because this award is self love seems to have some associate
thing this is based on research for people of wonder why we keep
saying this. We're experimenting. We're always
experimenting trying to get people to you know to love us
more.
Yeah, we tried the drunk thing. How's that work? I
think didn't renew this crapped out it's another one of these
things we've done these things before in the past. We come with
this great idea we think it's going to be fantastic. Two guys
take part they get drunk and they give us 50 bucks and then
they nobody else cares. Don't get me humiliate myself.
We've tried like empty your Pay Pal account. Yeah, that didn't
last very long
or did take money from a date you know the way I did that? And
then it was it two guys.
So the best thing we got going is what
douche bags douche bag call out is the only long term thing
that's ever worked karma
that's the only two things so that's it. It doesn't matter
what we do by the way.
Yeah, I know we put a lot of effort into this show or no
effort or or just do one liners you know it doesn't really now
people are listening on the on their cars they drive. Anyway,
let's give some kudos to some of our donate towards lovers, Devin
Austin Darphin. Orson Dorf, Austin, Dorf, Olson, yen, yeah,
Austin, North Austin north in Arvada, Colorado. Mr. Little
long noises, you don't have to read the whole thing. But he
says I've listened to the no agenda show since episode one.
And I'm ashamed to admit that this is my very first time
donating to the cause. He says Mike,
first of all, don't be ashamed. That's okay. If it takes you 370
episodes, it's fine. We're happy. Thank you
enjoyed the clip show and went on to say please accept a
donation of 121 21 a palindrome from which multiple meanings
meanings could be derived. It is now 2012, the sum of my pair of
consecutive digits, the magic number of three, etc. As the
first step toward making amends for my long term douchebaggery.
Hopefully it'll stave off my excommunication from the first
church have no agenda if you spare some. Please just ship
some coke karma to Gary Johnson and Ron Paul, apparently the
only two candidates for president who aren't outright
bloodthirsty. Here we go.
Gary Johnson and Ron Paul, you've got karma.
And he says that beat you to G Debbie Obama. Yeah.
Well, you know, karma is good for a week. So this could
actually help Ron Paul, for the primary on Tuesday, won't help
Gary Johnson much unfortunately.
I think he may be helping pretty much out yet a blow job or
something.
John, what I say? I don't know. But that sounded sexual. That's
my job. GALEN
and or Gillian or Gillen in Randwick New South Wales $120.
Yiannis seem, I guess? Ja in us s I am in Tallinn, Estonia, I
believe our first Estonian listener. Some amazing things
have happened after I switched to 1111 monthly plan but a small
karma boost is still needed. In other words, he got good karma
by subscribing to 1111 which is a lot of people are doing this
donation is also to celebrate his birthday which we'll credit
in a few minutes again but karma call out. You've got karma $67
comes in from Sir Michael Miller and Tiburon going into some
karma for a little more that big project is coming, coming to a
close. Okay, here we go. You've got karma and then in bad, Dober
in Deutschland Hans Do you have an hombre you know this one's a
bunch of crazy letters I need to put a new font on this machine.
It's probably Hans urug onto your shells Yeah.
He says this is a one double nickels on the dime of Rick
Santorum style less less donation beautiful. I will take
it to less less donation Yes, that's what we're gonna call it.
Scott carbon in Waterford Michigan double nickels on the
dime first time donor just started listening to a few
months ago love the show. Keep it up also going to ask for low
carb or for Gary Johnson and Dr. Paul. again. You've got Carmen
wow, you know, seems like the media is that people are
starting to notice the media is trying as hard as they can to
shut them up and twist their message. Hello. I think we've
been pointing that out for I don't know, five years,
something like that. Jeffrey Gerlach, Sir Geoffrey Gerlach to
you and Alamo 5150 Nice job karma. You've got karma and the
Knights are coming in and helping us Sir David Lee from
Williamsburg, Virginia 50. All just 69 cents Nisa, D douching.
For column calling Adam out on Twitter. The dots six nine is
for good times. I hope he had in the hot tub last night with
Mickey whites.
I told him she broke my axle. What
isn't karma?
That's okay. David Lee. He he took offence to a link I tweeted
but he hadn't really read it properly. And it's like, Oh,
okay. Oops, sorry. I was wrong. That's okay. It's not a problem.
dee doo. Not a problem. It's okay. I'm a big boy. By the way.
I don't get offended that easily.
Milk in the kitchen for Marysville, Kansas $50.01 from
your milk in Kansas mother. I'd like to kiss as that I live 40
plus years without knowing what a milk was. And now I'm a little
less innocent than then before your show.
We've popped your miscarry. Oh, no nationalising for
three months. I'm still with you. I used to cringe at the
whole karma thing is I would usually ask for a prayer in
similar situations but precarious times, and Ron Paul
makes strange bedfellows. So now I'm asking for karma for my
husband who has an interview on Tuesday. If he actually gets the
job, I will probably faint as we have been looking for a way out
of town for about 10 years now. I won't know what to do or say
then. That's kind of the way she was expressing herself. Happy to
get a kick out of giving you the show because if money is speech,
as Stephen Colbert often says then this is the closest thing
I've come to experiencing that and if donating is loving,
donation is love. Here is some love for the two of you fellas
make the best talkers in the universe. Maybe someday I'll
even be doing this well drunk that'll be fun. Anyway, please
start my husband and Sir plan with the last donation and this
he gets the job. Well, you know the rest of the story. All
right, well,
okay, here comes from our special job karma for Tuesday,
from your milk. Your karma. By the way, the back channels close
somehow if if Gitmo slave is listening, hopefully you can
drop in. Right after we sign off, you can drop in Maynard's
show from ABC because in that show, he explains what milk
means. And according to Maynard, it's music I'd like to forget.
That was pretty funny.
I like it. Yeah. Okay, we only have a few left. So
unfortunately, that's why I'm stretching the segment.
Anastasia Petrov in Toronto.
In television, I would be next to the camera, doing the stretch
motion. So John would know like a stretch motion. We stretch the
segment.
Stretch it You dummy. That's what it really means. Toronto,
Ontario. And now I think she's made a mistake here and I'm
gonna read what she says. She says de Deus Denis pair off
please for being a cheap bastard and not donating on time.
Americans vote Ron Paul be awesome again. So do you think
does she really mean D? douchey? Does she mean douchebag him?
I think douchebag Well, maybe he didn't donate if he donated No,
he
says he's a cheap bastard didn't donate on time. Sorry, sorry, my
chicken to get back to us if we made a mistake. Don Schwartz in
Rockville, Maryland. Hi, John. Nana, please wish wish wish
wish. Tom Starkweather a very happy birthday as a loyal
listener of the show. We know that and we will. Justin Jovic
in Howell New Jersey. $50. And finally a sir reg Jacobson and
national in Virginia. Add my birthday Friday. The 13th That's
interesting. Oh, nice. 62 To that birthday list. I'll be 50 I
forwarded you're screwed.org to no agenda show.com which is a
good one. I am in need of some karma. Absolutely.
Anything for the nights you've got karma? Because they do come
in and we're gonna skip the last one because she is going to be
wishing her husband happy birthday. And I want to keep
that as a surprise. So she knows who she is.
Okay, so we have to have a little serious Chad February. We
do have to have a serious chat though. Meaning Well, yeah.
Meaning with our listeners. And I know we have a lot of Ron Paul
newbies who are not new to Ron Paul, but new to the show.
Because on Ron Paul 2000 twelve.com. They linked to
my blog post about us accurately predicting the outcome of the
race to the
right damn near down to the vote count. Okay,
so I'm a little wary of doing a new prediction because I'm I
just haven't done you know, we've got a debate I haven't
seen yet, etc. But I know that there are new Ron Paul people in
and, you know, whatever you want to do, however you want to
support the show, do it. But the way it works is we do the work.
It's all we do. Rondon John writes a couple of columns for I
don't know, some things with mouse over ads and stuff.
But a lie. But this is blunder lines
that will underlies, but this is basically what we do. And we
don't have any commercials. And we tried to accentuate that in
the last show, which obviously failed miserably, where we show
that PBS is just taking ads and then pretending like they're not
taking ads, so they're compromised. And we're not
compromising with the only guys who can call it as we see it.
We're not always right. We have an open dialogue with our
listeners. And we are we think we're providing some
entertainment people
see we have a lot we have entertainment value, and we also
do have interaction, we are close to the audience. Yeah. We,
you know, we listen to them, and they and a lot of them bail out
on us. They don't like us. There's some people that are
upset by some of the revelations, I should say, that
we come up with, like last show, when I thought we should be
getting a lot of money from after Adam digs up the fact that
you can now be expunged of your citizenship and then thrown in
Gitmo for no apparent reason for supporting terrorism. And that
which is vague doesn't mean anything. What does supporting
terrorism mean? If you write a compliment, it could
complimentary article on on something that happens to be
related to something else it was related to someone giving money
to terrorists, are you? Can you just happen to Yes, it can. Yes.
I think our production of the terrorist Music Television
Awards is going to get us that status. Good. Could happen. It
could happen. Yeah. So we typically ask for a any
donation, we have a number of plans, and you can find all of
those at full rack.org/n. A why? Because
donating is love
why you said that very well. And it is love no agenda nation.com
is where you can also find an archive of the show in case
something happens we've had. Well, you know, we never talked
about the the iTunes debacle.
Did Yeah, yeah, we got screwed. We got bumped from iTunes for I
think two week two shows to three shows. We know what
happened help it but it
was only on the iOS. So it was only on because you know the
they have the new iOS five upgrade or whatever. And what
Apple does, and of course is dominant platform, yes into
these things. Of course, we do have a sysadmin on the inside,
which is great. And he immediately figured out that it
was indeed an apple problem. What they do is they when they
get the mp3 file, they strip out the image and resize it so that
it'll look good on all of their devices because you have to have
different sizes for for different players, I guess. And
something was failing in that process with them. And that's
why the downloads on the iPhone, we're failing. And he was in
tears basically. He's like, you know, I heard you guys ragging
on us about you know, the free service we provide you have
resizing your images. I felt really bad, but he's like up
24/7 to make sure that it comes through. I don't know how I got
on that on a tangent.
You wanted to call the guy out for being a good guy. You're
very
good guy. And we have we have good guys and gals all over
Gitmo nation. Inside on the inside there. They're flying the
drones. They're doing all kinds of stuff that they hate doing.
But we know that when we finally call it when we when we push the
big bat signal button. The sis admins will save the universe.
If for that reason alone, subscribe to one of our $5 a
month programmes
right that way the public will always know pretend to
amazon.com and buy something and TMZ man TMZ never go to that
site so awesome. junkies site is TMZ
rocks dude was he talking about? Andrew Gardner said hey you guys
read my email explain the weird donation but forgot to ring in
my karma last week in Euro land so I could use it. Could you
please do it for me? Because I really do need it. Of course
Andrew. We really apologise that we messed that up. Here's your
karma. You've got karma. And the good news is you're not dead
when you email this so your karma is now good for a week and
you're good to go.
So I got a letter from Joe Hawkins and Joe cool designs
faster and Canada just came in.
Isn't he the dish slave?
He's Yeah, slave. Just bought a couple of no agenda shirts
yesterday because I was wearing my slave t shirt while cooking
some back bacon. He's in Canada and spilled maple syrup all over
my slave shirt that maple syrup came right off due to the high
quality of the The shirt and the no agenda karma woven into it,
but I thought you would get another slave shirt and
protecting the shit out of you out of your shirt as well. I had
to order two XL also called programmer sighs because of a
serious medical I have developed recently called early onset F lb
syndrome fat lazy bastard syndrome okay, but we hope he
gets over that. So did the compound to XL my friend Yeah,
did the karma leak out of the shirt or did it stay interesting
he got into this maple syrup and ended up on the pancakes.
So essentially, the karma sauce that we have is like scotchguard
that's very good. Karma guard karma guard. I once
again.org/and a why? Because
donation is love. Yeah, something like that. Whatever
close enough.
Mark during congratulates his buddy Tom Starkweather. With his
birthday on Tuesday that will be the 10th jhanas sin
congratulating himself as his birthday is on the eighth that
being today Don Schwartz also congratulates Tom Starkweather
and so little no agenda family there. And Sir Ray Jacobson
wants a little birthday celebration, shout out for
himself and he'll be turning 50 On Friday the 13th Happy
Birthday on behalf of all your buddies here at the no agenda
show the best podcast in the universe. And then we're very
happy to have one indication into line
this rusted shut. We haven't
used it very often. Hadley guy Bazin. Thank you so much for
fulfilling your duty to become a knight of the no agenda
roundtable. Your donations equal $1,000 Actually you've gone
overboard with some of the help you provided the curry family
specifically so we are proud to hear by Nightbeat sir guy mozzie
nice have no agenda roundtable please my friend, step right up
over here. We've got your hookers and blow your red boys
and Chardonnay and your hot pans and booze ready for you at the
table at your beck and call.
And that will be that
something weird happened in this little family a family of this
little town. We open up the page here in Gitmo nation East. And I
immediately when I saw this news report, I immediately knew what
had happened. Villagers in Hampshire, near the world famous
Watership Down hill. Now you know this, of course from
Watership Down. Yeah, fear they have become the latest victims
of a mystery which is hit other parts of Britain. One family The
Smiths were baffled when their heating shower doorbell and even
their cars remote door locks refused to work. And they
discovered similar problems were being experienced by their
neighbours. They spend much of the festive season without
heating and lights after the failure of household systems.
Now this this hamlet
Oh hold on before he finished the story. What did what what
what news what what newspaper what? Newspaper disappearing
Daily Mail? Oh, well the daily emails. Okay, go on. I mean, if
it was the day I was like, watch it. What is it any better than
the New York Times? Really? Well,
I'm not saying it is or isn't it? Just the Daily Mail go on? I
heard this story too. Seems to me that this would have gotten a
little more coverage.
Well, not one we're talking about an EMP strike. So you know
there is a military base, a top secret military base, right?
Right near this village. And all of a sudden everything stops
working all electrical all RFID stuff or it just got fried. I'm
saying EMP now they're blaming problem
with this story. If you read the whole thing and you can read it
and you can is that they blew up the power for like a like a week
or two and then it came all back on and you EMP strikes fries,
the electronics. Well doesn't come back on after a while.
After two weeks. I think that's quite a while. But beside the
point it never comes back on when the circuit is fried. It's
fried permanently. Well,
here's the clue. In the article itself, what can cause RF
interference, it is likely that electromagnetic interference of
some sort is causing the failure of the electronics but the
source of this could be anything from an electrical circuit to
radiation hitting the Earth from the Sun or possibly a military
source and then it right there in the article. electromagnetic
pulses fired by microwave generators can be used to
disrupt magnetic fields, which in turn causes massive voltage
surges that paralyses equipment nuclear weapons produce huge EMP
waves. But of course, that being the source in this instance is
out of the question. But really, you don't know what's being
blasted off above our heads.
I don't know what's going on i the whole tracking this stuff?
Well, I think you should, and I don't I'd like to see a follow
up on this story when somebody actually develops a thesis that
actually can be proven one way or the other or even makes
sense, because it doesn't make sense the way it reads.
Well, it's the Daily Mail. But I'm sure I'm sure it happened,
though.
Now, some something happened. I'm sure. Yeah, something
probably happened.
as well. We're in the second half of the show. So I think I
get one more. Yeah. Oh, sure. Double, I'm going to do a
double.
Now you didn't do much last week. So I guess this will be
okay.
Residents on Long Island are trying to pass a bill in their
local community to stop the practice of consistent
persistent jet contrails over their community, and there's a
fabulous video of the actual hearings where they're trying to
get this bill passed. I have a 45 second clip of one of the one
of the residents and these are seemed like fairly intelligent,
educated people. It just goes on. I mean, it's like I'm
listening to the no agenda audience sitting there talking
to their council members saying we have to pass this bill. We do
not want to be sprayed anymore. We have
no idea who is spraying us with what we have an idea with what
but we don't have any idea really who is flying these
planes. And the average law abiding citizen can't even get
on a plane without being harassed. This is insanity.
Yeah, science behind the object itself. Anybody with a
functioning set of eyes critical thinking process that has spent
a significant amount of time reviewing this evidence could
see the sound. And it's clearly the will of the people that's
educated on this matter. That end is put to this. Please give
us the unanimous decision to pass this bill so that we can
show the world that America is taking freedom back and we're
not going to be sprayed like a bunch of bucks. Yeah.
We won't be sprayed like a bunch of bugs you elitist bastards.
Bunch of bugs.
This is what's happening. This is exactly what's happening.
So I was thinking about this and it would be the coolest thing
would be to develop some new drone technology to do the
spraying. Oh, you can get down lower. Yeah, you can
you couldn't do it on a house by house basis and give different
dosages. So oh, that's Curry's place. That's camp. MoPhO. Open
up the valve suckers.
Yeah, drop it in and on. And let's see what the next shows
like with him.
He'll be so doped up. He won't even know what's going on. Yeah,
yeah. Sad.
So I haven't flipped that is to change the pace here a little
bit. This is from the Ellen show. I was kind of amusing. She
decided to bring on the some of the women from the Jersey Shore
and do a quick quiz show around simple political quizzes of the
day. Job.
Job segment
as a joke segment anyway, play it.
What is a caucus? Sorry. Oh. A caucus knows what this is. What
is a caucus? You mean the part of the body? Or a carcass?
caucus? I guess spelling on this. See. You see us caucus
where you were thinking?
Wow. Yep, that's entertainment. Ladies and gentlemen. I'll be
here all the week. And the
crazy thing is the opening. The season opener, 7.8 million
viewers. A cable show a cable show 7.8 million viewers.
Now. Well, I guess apparently people like to tune in and sit
there. And by the way, have you watched any of those types of
these syndicated shows like this? There are about 50%
commercials? Oh, yeah.
Yeah, but still people will be happy to watch it.
Yeah, they sit there watch it and get the kick out of it. But
I just gave you the gist of the whole show right there right
now. 30 seconds. That's good. Thanks. So the girl returned
from Colombia. Oh, you're following
that story. I
guess I got a couple of I got way too close. I got one clip
here which kind of gives me the it there's a couple of new
factoids in here which need discussion.
This is the girl returned from Colombia clip. Yes,
questions this hour in the case of an American teenager who was
mistakenly deported to Colombia. The 15 year old is now back in
the US but investigators want to know how she could have been
sent out of the country in the first place. is Julian Daris
live in our New York City newsroom with more on this? Hi
Julie. pager to
Colombia because she told them she was an illegal immigrant.
Upon arriving in that country, the girl was even given
Colombian citizenship. Us and Colombian officials now pointing
fingers over who exactly is responsible to keep Adrian's
saga began when the teen ran away more than a year ago in
November 2010. Now Houston Police say the 15 year old was
arrested in 2011 for misdemeanour theft and claimed
to be Tikka LeMay Cortez a Colombian woman born in 99 day
well after being jailed a sheriff's office employee then
recommended immigration detainer be put on her and an immigration
judge ultimately ordered her back to Colombia where she said
she was from even though she wasn't even fluent in Spanish
and had no ties to Colombia. After spending months in
Colombia, she was returned to the US Friday evening and
reunited with her family at Dallas Fort Worth International
Airport.
What is the point of this story?
Well the point of this story is that this is I don't know what
it is I think it has something to do with the with the with the
holder hearings or something. This is a covered up weird story
that makes zero sense and every time you hear it reported, it's
reported exactly the same with information that makes zero
sense one she heard she said her name was Tika le make Cortez
which seems highly unlikely and when every one of these reports
says the exact same thing the reporter says exact same thing
they say a Colombian woman born in 1990 how would anybody know
this? Huh? Uh, Colombia is your name and why would you use this
name if you're some black chick from Houston roaming around
stealing stuff as a as a shoplifter? Why would you all of
a sudden claim that you're not from the United States you're
illegal and your name is Tika LeMay Cortez a Colombian woman
born in 90 this this bull crap this is a this whole story is a
scam and the weird thing about it is that why did she get she
sent her to Colombia they gave her automatic citizenship this
is like a great way to get dual citizenship.
So you what you're saying is you don't actually know what's going
on why this is being propagated in the media so watch.
No, I have no idea but as this is this
direction of the wait a minute well hold on a second that's for
sure.
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, it's crackpot here from CAP mo focus.
I'm going out to tinker with Mei Cortez you know we brought her
back and she is reunited with her friendly baby that's right
sound of the nation you remember the song Don't you big JCB
five years in prison after sofa passes. Adam curry has been
arrested and he's in prison for five years Sing along
with me everybody now because this is going out to tickler may
Cortes when I was trying to get to the hook it'd be worth it
reunited and it feels so good. Oh Tikka reunited in the studio.
Right That's enough. Okay, we're gonna drop that story. So now
the Supreme Court is going to rule on whether or not doll I
guess it has to do with the if somebody smells dope or
something. There's, anyway, this is kind of controversial story
floating around about a dog smelled pot. And so the cops
went without a warrant plate dogs and search one and maybe
get a little feeling for it.
But he's home, sniffed, smelled drugs inside. And of course
there was a warrantless search then perpetrated. Is that an
unreasonable violation of the Fourth Amendment? Keisha?
I say not, as I say not because in this particular case, the
police officers had a reasonable suspicion. And that reasonable
suspicion was that they received an anonymous tip that this home
had marijuana being grown in it. And when they went to the home,
the dog detected the odour from outside of the house. So that's
not an intrusive violation of privacy.
What if it were police outside Kesha listening in with
parabolic microphone? That's a totally different different than
drug sniffing dogs. Aren't they almost identical?
No, it's not because with the microphone, they're listening on
either lead illegal and legal activity whereas with the dog
these dogs are trained And to detect air marijuana, which is
an illegal activity.
This is a big scandal. So we have a guy that contradicts all
this but, but even the GAO contradicts it overlooks the
obvious thing. And I think we've discussed it on the show. These
dogs are trained to lie.
Yeah, of course they are the stupid months. And they
you can't bring them in front of a judge and they can't testify.
Or really smell the marijuana. Are you? Or was there a code
given to you to sit and act like you smelled marijuana?
This is this is like CSI zoom in rotate, enhance.
You know, so it's so the so you get it and so so here's what
this woman is defending this, by the way, she shouldn't be
ashamed of herself, by the way growing
a plant illegal activity in the United States, ladies and
gentlemen.
So so somebody gives an anonymous tip, which could be
bullcrap a dog supposedly smells it, which could be bull crap,
there's no way to make knowing that what the dog smelly and so
you can bust into the house and arrest of people without a
warrant. Because you've got essentially what this boils down
to now that this guy was who contradicts the whole thing to
the dog. And search number two clip doesn't even bring this up,
which I think is really the key thing that's being overlooked
here.
Was it trained to detect marijuana, which is an illegal
activity. She wrong,
David, he's absolutely wrong. Greg, the police have no
business being on this porch in the first place. There is a
fourth amendment, there is a constitution, there's probable
cause not reasonable suspicion, there's got to be probable cause
to enter that house, and by the dog sniffing on that porch
outside that house, that constitutes constitutes an
illegal search and seizure in violation of the Fourth
Amendment of the Constitution. Absolutely.
Forgetting that they did not go into the house, the dog gave
them the probable cause to do the search. So it was not a
violation of the Fourth Amendment right when the dog was
outside of the house and detected the odour. And
remember, they were doing surveillance of this home, our
government
is there for one reason, and that's to have the dogs perform
this illegal search. That porch area is an illegal search when
it comes to these dogs.
Let me make a prediction. John, do you have the book?
Yes, I do.
So we already have dogs who can sniff out drugs. We have dogs
who can sniff out food. Like if you ever fly into the United
States, they got the agriculture dogs sniffing for bananas and
nuts and stuff. We have dogs that can sniff out money. I
guarantee you will have dogs that can sniff out terrorists
next. Yeah, the dog was in
tears. Yeah, you want Oh, and I forgot explosive dogs as well.
Well, they do have explosive dogs. Yeah, no, I
know. That's not a prediction. That's a fact. Oh, yeah. And who
is this douche noccalula who's saying, hey, that's having it.
That's the dogs nifty, man. If I see your police dog on my porch,
I'm shooting him.
Right. talk's cheap. Okay, it's cheap in Texas. So I got nothing
to hide. So apparently there is a Supreme Court case about this
situation as it's going to be coming up in the next week or
two. And it's gonna be interesting to see how they come
out on it. But yeah, but I think there's overlooked aspect of the
whole thing is that the dogs and the lying dog the lying dog.
Bullshit.
The Lying dog. I totally I'm totally down with and, you know,
they do treat these. These dogs they're seen as officers of the
law. Yeah. So if an officer of the law is on your porch, that
by definition is illegal search.
Well, if he's determining you got something going on, he busts
insurer. Yeah. But the I ever it was a one guy. I mean, we
brought up the dog thing some time ago. And I think we've kind
of treated it lightly and so one of our producers wrote in
complaining about the lying dogs. And the fact that these
dogs are extremely well trained, and they can be trained to sit
where they you know, sit there, just pretend there's something
going on. Oh, look, he's sitting there. I must be
supposed to be dribbling must be drugs must be something going
on.
Bombs drives, whatever again,
the bringing the dramatising bringing the drone. Alright, so
anyway, just thought that was kind of an interesting side
clip.
Well, it's it's what are we going to do?
No Goodness. Goodness.
There's no goodness whatsoever. I'm afraid. This is not good.
I got an O'Reilly douchebag clip here that I'm not absolutely
sure. Oh, this is kind of interesting. Yeah, play this dog
Riley douchebag unresolved problem segments. Right.
The ACLU has issued a report card ranking President Obama and
all the GOP presidential candidates on civil liberty
issues and are you ready? Ron Paul gets higher marks and
Barack Obama.
And that's a scandal scandalous, scandalous. Because the code in
here you have to read Remember the right wing talkers? Yes, we
sell you the enemy. There are a bunch of communists. Right?
Americans don't have a great new high like Ron Paul apparently
Use your common of your economy who doesn't know that he's a
civil liberties me. He's the most for civil civil liberties.
This is a scandal. Well speaking last time because it's even
higher than Obama. Obama should be at the bottom of the list.
Yeah. Well, don't say that too loud. Because he might drone,
you
know, yeah, it's clear skies out, too. I have to be careful.
Well, yeah, you have to remember, I have two words for
you. Predator drones. That's right. He's not kidding, either.
I'm speaking of Ron Paul. This was also on C span. A lot of
people have captured this and sent it to me. And I saw it
myself. And this is the hot mic, check. Mic, mic check. John mic,
check. Mic, check.
Mic check. The
tu tu tu tu Mic check. 223. It says at the Pentagon, where they
had a mic open. This is one of the reasons why we watch C span
not only to be able to see wonderful people like vermin
supreme. But also to catch these open mics. It's it's fantastic
when when they leave the sound up to journalist waiting for the
press conference and talking about what will happen to them
when Ron Paul becomes president
for the last 10 years.
See this room, two thirds of us laid off. So the question is, do
they already know that Ron Paul is going to become president and
then just waiting for the for the other shoe sponsors
are going to be Why are two thirds because we won't have to
do any Yeah, because even know what that means. Tell me what
that means,
as because the Pentagon
will be the Pentagon will be folded
Foliat, only 1/3 of the budget will be left. So the only 1/3 of
the reporters will be left and needed to report on it. But I
took it in a different way. I took it as like the press
already knows that Ron Paul is truly going to be the winner. We
want to make any any predictions for the for the outcome of it
Tuesday's New Hampshire carcass.
Well, if I was going, I'm not going on by scripts that you
like to go by which make you more television, pure television
speaking on these things. Yeah. But from a perspective of
someone who might be a professional in the field that's
analysing what they've seen so far, without hearing the last
debate. I would suspect that Romney will win with a large
portion of the vote and the three other guys who's kind of
split the second half of the, in other words, I think, Santorum,
maybe Gingrich and Paul will each have about the same amount
and then twice as many votes for Romney is a local boy. So local
election for him.
Yeah, cuz he's from Massachusetts. Yeah. Well, if I
were to produce this, and by the way, I'd have some of the
Hooters girls at the convention during the caucus, just walking
around. But if I were to produce this, and I want to have a good
new show, I agree. I'm going to say Romney 40%. Then I'm going
to say Ron Paul second. And it will be your right, it will be a
significantly smaller percentage. And this will show
because we kept 20. Yes, sub 20. I'm thinking somewhere in the 15
to 18% range. Gingrich falls off the radar. But right behind Ron
Paul will be Santorum with like 1% It'll be the race between
Santorum and Ron Paul, and then upset. We'll have Huntsman as
third. So write this down. 40% Romney, Ron Paul 50, let's just
say 18%, just to 15 to 18. It has to be 15. Actually 15. Then
we're gonna have either tied another one of those, you know,
like close call 15. But maybe 14%. Santorum, followed by John
Huntsman and Gingrich off the radar down there fighting with
Perry. That's the way I would do it if I were going to produce
it.
Well, I would say it's probably be kind of interesting. They
definitely have to keep Paul in it because they're not going to
be able to sustain ratings, and they're not getting their
ratings up that high. Anyway, the ratings, the best ratings
they've had when they had the little battle between Perry and
Romney But then Perry couldn't. It wasn't part of this main main
script. So they had to take him out of the of the play. So
the kicking out of sag, I think,
yeah, I think yeah, it's pretty lost his benefits. And I don't
know this is getting pretty crummy. I mean, they're gonna
have to shake it out. They've only do really only two more
events left. There's the South Carolina and Florida and then
it's done. After that, it's just as huge one day,
how many electoral votes are up for grabs in in the five
or six? Because almost none, this is like there's no real
votes involved here. It's just to set the stage for the the
Super Tuesday where you had something like 25 States going
all at once.
I mean, I'm so worried that Santorum is I mean, can he
actually do I mean, people were booing him the college they were
booing and people were booing him wherever he went. I mean, I
just don't see a turnout. I just, you know, I think people
are just on to him.
I don't think they're on to him because he does. He does neuro
linguistic chatter that I think may work for him. I mean, he's
been buffaloed to people and I
listened column calls and Tormes people and tell him that we will
be happy to bump him up. But he has to get rid of the stupid
jumper. That sweater. He loves that jumper now that's no good.
He has to like dress differently. Because it's a
sweater vest. The sweater the sweater
has a jumper has got to go. And like jumper those like little
kids. Where do you notice by the way that
they made Ron Paul look his real height Finally, on the
on the right is everybody's like 66161. But
they finally made him look tall. Yeah, that was kind of
interesting. Okay, so well. Now of course, this is a tough
prediction because we haven't seen the debate that took place
this morning. But forget all that because who gives a crap
about us the real problems are over in Gitmo nation, Euro land.
Some interesting things happening there. First of all,
what is not on the news is that the Euro is now at a 16 month
low down. Was it below $1.27. This is big. This is a critical
level. What it is right? What is it right now? It's probably it's
gotta be below 129. Oh, yeah, it was
127. Last time I looked. It's right now it's 127 17. Okay,
so it's very, very close. Very, very close. That's a big deal.
And of course, this is because we now know that Super Mario has
based essentially they've forced this bond auction of the ESF s.
And they're creating a they're printing money. They're actually
printing money. What's interesting, and I've been
following for the past. Wow, a year, I guess. Whenever the euro
would go down, gold would go down. This is now reversed. Now,
gold goes up when the Euro goes down. So there's something
black, saying that
the Euro just went down? Point 0074 and gold went down with it.
Wow. 330 That's
not the overall trend over the past week and a half the overall
trails those kind of goals. What 1640? No,
1616 Okay. But it wasn't it's just got to court because they
have going on with this chart. It has to show it slows down.
And now it's it's pretty much stuck. It looks like between
1617 and 1618. It looks like you're gonna stay there from the
chart.
Hmm, we shall see.
We shall I mean, that that can lead to an up move or a down
move. By the way. It doesn't mean anything. So it's like a
wet it's like a wedge.
And the real gold of course is worth much more, but that's
irrelevant. Chinese are investing in the Portuguese
power
grid. Give us a little phrase in Chinese. Oh,
I happen to have one. Little tiny out Jia Jia ching ching,
ching ching, everybody.
The Chinese kind of a cash register in China
Portale out yet you get ching ching.
That'll be 1395, please. Yeah. So they're, they put 2.7 billion
euros into the EDP, the Portuguese power grid. Which,
wow, that's pretty brazen. You know, it's like, hey, it's
great. Hey, from Portugal. And by the way, if you don't pay us
back, we're going to turn off your lights, matches. But the
crazy one. So we we've been saying this would happen and of
course it gives no play. Greece is now going to sell some bonds
because they got to raise money to start paying off their debt.
They are now going to sell bonds backed by state property.
Starting to sell off the country it is let me tell you what, what
they're selling. You know, Governor Brown here in
California has been trying to do the same thing.
It's a great plan. I think it's fantastic sell off Yosemite
Yosemite National Park. We can't sell that off.
Can we sell off mount tam that's gonna be walking off mount Tam.
You could sell off the state parks there's a bunch of state
parks are closed and a few of them they just just sell them.
Yeah, he got some old Adobe's you know, 1600s It used to be
state park just selling them. To Larry Ellison, he'll buy him.
How
about the Hollywood Walk of Fame? Let's sell that. So get
rid of it. So here's what Greece is selling first of all, they
they sold for Airbus 340 jets. Wow. For 40 million apiece.
That's a super detail for a blue book. What
are they? Called? On the second? Blue Book? Blue Book value of
Airbus. What is it? A 340? Let's see what the book of knowledge
says. Aircraft appraisals. Guess well, there's a 340 200 They
cost about? Oh my goodness.
I'm getting 38 billion on my search.
That seems to be a bit high, doesn't it? I think they're like
$200 million. Well, let's see what a new one called. Oh, no,
no. What does a Oh, you'd be surprised. A new Airbus A 340
cost. Well, if these are relatively new, I think
no, I didn't.
Miss price. $203.6 million.
Okay, all right. I remember this is the wide body I'm fooling
myself. You know, this is the monster jet. Yeah. Is bigger
than a 747. So that's a steal or No, that's a 383 Add
the 340 is big this that's what I think virgin flies those don't
they just visit
that the Ford jet job? I
think no, it's two. I think it's sure. Yeah, it's the two huge
Pratt and Whitney.
I don't think so. I think it's a Ford jet.
Let me see. 330 Where's the 340? Hold on.
I'm on airbus.com Yep. For jets for okay, but it's got four I
flew one there's one so they have
they have the retail price on airbus.com. Now if we wanted to
pick one up washable Can we can we buy this on eBay?
Now maybe but if they're normally 200 million plus, and
they're selling it for 40 million, that's a good deal.
It's a fantastic deal. And let me see this guy.
Although apparently the Icelandic air are one of these
guys that bought one of them for 38 Six.
Well, it depends on how old and how many hours it has,
obviously, but it's
not. I was thinking of the new 380s This thing could be old and
beat up. I mean of all the airlines have ever flown the
Greek Olympus Airlines is the worst Yeah, I know you don't
want a smoke on it and they don't tighten any screw
I'll take it but take that Olympus sticker off because I
don't want anyone seeing that. Anyway, the they also are
selling their ports, their regions.
Is it Olympus or Olympia.
I think it's Olympus. I think it is to the privatisation list
includes ports regional airports utilities
motorways, its Olympic Olympic yeah Olympic Olympic air Olympic
both here utility and so on I'm sorry
motorways a leading casino
published you know inside the jet public own
defence train and mining companies and a key stake in
Greece's monopoly gaming operator the lotto essentially
so guess what's gonna happen?
Yeah, all the douchebags are going to buy up all this stuff.
That was the whole idea to begin with. That's when the you form
Time
now for our national Greek lotto the first number up with Holly
out
Jia Jia ching ching. Bingo.
Yeah, the Chinese are going to buy up Greece.
That's while the Chinese and the Russians. Oh, yeah, definitely
the Russians Russians. Couple of weird to to the head stories
that that came by. First this is the two top gun pilots who shot
each other and then and they. And then the guy shot himself in
the head is like completely weird. Once or twice. Yeah. And
the gun in his left in the left hand. There was like one of
those deals. Navy SEAL accidentally shoots himself in
the head.
Yeah. Right. So because they're incompetent, they don't know
what they're doing.
I mean, no, of course he thought it wasn't loaded and he was
playing a joke and said, Oh, watch once I'll put it against
my head. No pool. The trigger
I mean, yes, that's all well,
why do we still believe the stories go? Okay, so amazing.
I'm sure that happened. Yeah, that's right. But the best one
is Dario Lele Mora, celebrity talent scout, who was at the
bunga bunga parties for Berlusconi tried to kill himself
in prison.
Yeah, sure he did.
He was the guy who was he was the he was the recruiter
together he was getting the chicks. And he's been in jail
since June. And nudity on trees on trial with Nicole Monetti
Anglo Italian former show girl who was propelled into politics
under Mr. Berlusconi's patronage, and Dario Fady, a
television presenter on a channel belong to the former
prime minister. So he's in there for fraudulent bankruptcy with
his LM management company. And he tried to doesn't know I don't
think the story says how he tried to kill himself. How do
you kill yourself in jail? Was that hanging is that kind of the
best way to do it?
Are you banging your head against the bars maybe or? Yeah,
no, they don't actually Bob I have his way with you until you
drop
the doesn't actually say but attempted attempted suicide. So
the at least they are eating each other at this point. Which
is good, because somebody's got to and
I got distracted by this interesting website private I
private islands online.
They sell jets there as well, right? They
sell well. I saw I got there from the jet site, but it's
like, there's a lot of islands for sale in Greece. And they
sound pretty cheap, but the good ones are not cheap. This one
here. 50 million euros oops. It's a six Senator 43 acre
island called the island of Patrick close. And I ain't just
imagined stuff I've run into this is weird, but you run into
when you're hanging out with these hyper rich tech people and
then you start talking to them. And because they changed the
people they hang out
with before they get to other douchebags. Yeah, all other
douchebags.
And so but they'll tell you that a couple of interesting things.
One is that many of them and I don't have a list in front of
me, but I should reveal this list. I can get it by islands
just like there's some island collecting thing going on with
the hyper rich. They all own two or three islands around the
world. It's not just like they own a you know, a big resort or
a castle in Spain, or that's our old school man. They own an
island. You get to you get to rename the island. You can name
as you own it, you can call whatever you want. But they own
these islands and they collect them. And so there's a big
community of island owners amongst the hyper rich I tried
to get the names of some of them and some of the islands they
own. I think it's it's mostly findable.
And these are the guys that you know, and I'm this is my little
annoyance of the week. Not a pet peeve but annoyance. So some
douche knuckle I think on CNET wrote, oh, you know, what would
happen if Google turned off and Facebook turned off and just I'd
be like, that'd be the happiest day of my life. If that
happened. And this has turned into a meme of sorts where
people are now saying, January 23, man, Google's gonna turn off
and Facebook's gonna turn off and that'll show them bastards
in Washington with the internet will be effectively done, man.
Like, no, it won't.
Were you getting this? I haven't heard this.
Oh, this is all over the place. Just do. Okay, consult the book
of knowledge do internet three. And that shut down? January 23.
And here internet may shut down SOPA blackout could shut down
internet major websites the shutdown in protest of SOPA. You
know, there is no way. Hal will have to freeze over before
Google and Facebook and Twitter will shut down there is no way.
And I can't believe that this meme is propagating. And now
it's gotten so bad where people are saying that there's an
actual date. And there's no there's no evidence of Google or
Facebook ever saying this? It's just some guy who started this
over at CNET say when that would show him wouldn't it? They won't
show anything. It will be great. Shut down Google. Fine. Good
riddance.
That's funny. I had no I missed this completely.
You want it? You're on twit today.
It's like a Yeah, I am. Okay. So
you are guaranteed guaranteed this we'll come up with a man.
There's like some internet shut down and bring it up though. You
won't bring it up. You won't have to bring it up because
it'll be brought up by the panel who's on who's on who's on.
Jerry Pournelle and then It's Silverman Dwight Silverman from
the Houston Chronicle.
Now maybe Leo bring it up. Dwight's Dwight's pretty well
researched. And Parnell is. I don't know, man. He's honestly
for now,
different plough major sites like Facebook, Google, Twitter,
Amazon, eBay, Wikipedia, Yahoo Pay Pal and more are planning
that will be great Oh, crap, shut it down, got their
services. That's not possible. It's against their own terms of
service. They can't do their own charter,
they've got shareholders, they have to make money, they're not
going to an Amazon, please, it's not going to shut down,
they're going to shut down and instead instead display a
message urging users to contact a representative to speak out
against SOPA. So why have a SOPA? Store? I mean, I've been
worried.
We have to talk about this because it first of all, I've
not been able to see any actual legislation. A, you know, when
there's a real bill or something I can read, I'll be all over
that go to
this stop online. That's the Stop Online part, you should go
to the what's what's the other one IP, protect, protect IP Act
here. I'm talking to some lobbyists in Washington DC about
who are against all this stuff. And I'm told that one of the
things that may be going on is that SOPA is a complete red
herring. It's a bull crap, is it's just just to draw attention
to it. The fact is, they're going to pass protect IP in the
Senate, while everybody's talking about SOPA. And the SOPA
people are gonna go, oh, you know, everyone's so upset about
this, we're gonna drop it, we squeak quit you, when you when
soap is dead, we're cancelling it. And then meanwhile, protect
IP is gonna go get through and then get just rubber stamped by
by Congress, because that's the Senate Bill. So the whole thing
is could be a complete scam. It's because it's exactly where
it looks like it's lining up, because nobody's talking about
protect IP. And it's the same bill.
No, you're right. Okay, so there is a leaked copy of protect IP,
which doesn't mean, how do I know that? That's real? Is there
an actual Is there a full on bill?
That has to be of the bill? So I got the numbers.
senate.gov on a second. I mean, I want to find it. Right. And
this will be my homework. This is what all I will do. I thought
everything that I've seen so far, has not been an official
text of the bill. I don't think that's been presented anywhere
else. I don't think it's published. Legislation and
records. last major action bills introduced so it'd be a bill
introduced, I presume.
Yeah. And sponsored and co sponsored by every imaginable
horrible person.
Let me see. Pro tect. Does the chat room have anything? chat
rooms usually pretty good at that stuff? Or is everyone just
bitching and moaning and complaining and not actually
reading what this is about? Protect IP Act of 2011 reported
in Senate
s 968. Okay. It's a Patrick Leahy bill with every co
sponsor,
Matt 968968. You said? Yeah,
s 968. Protect IP Act of 2011. Okay.
All right. I'll read through this. There's a lot Oh, this is
all all marked up. This is all chopped up as everything has
been. Wow.
And it's very disappointing. Some of the people that are
supporting this, these are the co sponsors. I'm going to name
them. You should vote them out of office Lamar Alexander Kelly
AI Michael Bennett, Richard Blumenthal, Roy bluet, John
Boozman, Benjamin Cardin, Robert Casey, Thad Cochran, Christopher
Coons, Bob Corker from Tennessee, Richard Durbin from
Illinois, Michael Enzi, Dianne Feinstein, Al Franken.
Really Al Franken the big libertarian.
Yeah, the big libertarian bowl crapper, Christian Gillibrand,
Lindsey Graham little, of course, anything that Lindsey
Graham's and you know as Bad Chuck Grassley another one, Kay
Hagan another one Orrin Hatch another one Amy Kolb as a club
blue card don't know her call. Joe Lieberman. Hello, John
McCain. Hello, and get this one Marco Rubio Oh
no. I saw his name because there's a Sofa oprah.com Sofa
Oprah a soap opera opera soap opera.
Charles Schumer. Janine Shaheen Tom Udall Sheldon Whitehouse and
and Jerry Moran who bailed out he withdrew his support and now
he's against it.
So I'm looking through this bill and it's all crossed out. When
the witness is like this whole this is crazy. Everything's
redlined out here. We go, Wow. This Act may be cited as the
Preventing real online threats to economic creativity and theft
of intellectual property act of 2011. Whoa, okay. The term
domain name has done okay. Oh, Lanham Act interesting. That's
what MTV sued me under the Lanham Act.
The Lanham Act.
That's when there can be confusion amongst consumers.
Right. The loss of using you with MTV, you are the face of
and TV my friend the face.
That's right. And now I've been I've been scrubbed from history.
You're not even mentioned anymore in their retrospective
never.
And then there was headbangers ball with Ricky Ragman. When
curry wasn't a part of that, Screw him. Bastard. You stole
our property. After they said that. Don't worry about it. You
can use that internet thing we're going with AOL. We think
keywords are more important. Stupid idiots. The lawsuit
between MTV Networks and Mr. Curry has been settled out of
court Neither party has any further comment. I probably
already said too much.
I engross it I know who you are.
Some other cool stuff in the show notes just to look at which
is part of the service we provide to you. We have an
update from one of our producers who is in getting on what is
Pakistan what is Pakistan's Gitmo status? Give one nation
what pocket pocket Poppy Stan Stan Paki Paki?
Get more nation goat meat.
goat meat? Well, he says that one of his cousins maintains a
very high position in the NWFP provincial government. And but
things are crazy right now he says that people can't afford
that. Prices have gone up three to four to five times. But
people but only government people can afford food now
because they make so much money. But he says today I am enroute
to a bottom bad to visit family from my mother's side. I'm
hoping to get some photos of the infamous mansion Osama was
supposedly hiding out in as well as hear the locals accounts of
those nights and the aftermath. Since then, one of my cousin's
was stationed in a bot a bot as a trainer slash officer for a
long time. And it's strange such a sensitive location would have
been would have housed Osama without really any luxuries
without any other agencies in the area. Knowing about it. So
we've got a guy on the inside. Cool good photos and another
cousin
but just some graffiti on the on the on the side of Obama's
outside a wall put no agenda show.com
Exactly. No agenda show.com put in right in there and take a
picture.
Yeah, all right. Posters works. Do anything. Just get it up
there.
Another another cousin from Peshawar greatness. Yeah.
Another cousin from Peshawar was the Director General for the
primary hospital in a bottle bought for some time as well. I
have to confirm the timelines. See if anyway, so he's from
Canada. And he's visiting family. He says he says it's
hard to even get his iPhone to work. They're so bad. That's why
we're drawing him who cares?
Yeah, drawn the iPhone factory. Anyway.
On Tuesday, fascinating book coming out, which I will be
reading for you so you don't have to I'm sure you've guessed.
Yeah. The Obama the Obamas. You betcha. I've already pre ordered
it on my Kindle. I cannot wait for
it to arrive. A lot of Valerie Jarrett material in there for
you. I told you
my favourite biatch. And so I have the Walt The New York Times
actually, he's running excerpts from the from the book, which is
pretty interesting. And not such nice ones that you know, as we
already discussed, that Michelle Obama is just a raging maniac
and is just yelling at everybody. And I'm really
looking forward to reading this book, who is the author of this
book,
raging maniac? Just that she is just the the image of I just
imagine her running around their arms and you're waving them and
screaming in a circle fast in a circle?
I can. I can see it. I can see it. I think
the answer is a little one you come on up
that is a that was a clip from the Obamas available on Audible.
Jodi Kantor is the writer.
Okay. What has she done for me lately? Nothing. She's written
nothing. She's a
New York Times veteran reporter is a man in their journalistic
senses. According to The Washington Post opinion, Erik
wemple. That's all the trending topic.
But she hasn't written any other books. I don't know. Let me
think. Not on Amazon. are no no other books is their first book.
Oh, then it was
obviously written by the CIA. Yeah, da. Yeah. Well, my
thinking, yeah, they fed her all the stuff that she needed. And
then she pieced it together and probably half it was already pre
written and boom, we got it. We got a best seller. So I keep an
eye on her in the years ahead.
All right, everybody have a great to carcass on Tuesday. And
we will have a book review for you on Thursday of the Obamas
along with all the other media assassination that we do for
you, so you don't have to come and hear from camo here in the
drone Star State in the morning. I'm Adam curry.
And I'd remind Joe what you bring a highlighter with you and
highlight the best passages and we'll be wrapped. Listening to
the review. I'm John C. Dvorak in Silicon Valley.
