Episode Three Niner. Six.
This is no agenda. How many of
them can move forward in the capital of the drone star Steve
Austin Tejas, if he's the APR, I'm the fool every morning,
everybody. I'm Adam curry.
Nice drive from Northern Silicon Valley. We say nice try. I'm
John C. Dvorak. Roskill.
I'll do some good in April Fool's
Day. Yeah, April Happy April Fool's. I mean, this is by the
way, bull crap. You should always do these great gags, but
it's become so institutionalized now by by the internet. Yeah,
yes. It's stupid. Google did theirs. You know, Google did
what did they do? Some day said that they made the oppressed
presented a press release in conjunction with NASCAR that
their self driving car will be entered in the next year's cup
chain.
Do you know we had a tradition my grandfather, Eugene, curry,
Renwick, I should say Renwick Eugene curry on April Fool's if
we happen to be staying there, and I'm not sure where this came
from. But everything would be upside down. And we'd have a big
steak and mashed potatoes for breakfast. And then for dinner,
we'd have what looked like fried eggs on toast with spinach. But
the fried eggs were actually like a like a cake with two pear
halves. So it looked like a yolk with whipped cream around it.
And then my grandfather would eat the spinach with a pair of
pliers.
I know it's like a good one and I didn't really care.
Like, I think we should all eat pliers
on April Fool's Day and I know
that should be standard pliers in the dishwasher that
nice and clean standard operating procedure. You have
a stake holder with a pair of pliers can't go wrong and cut it
when I first saw
it was specifically the spinach and I was like it was kind of
cool, you know and you gonna go
it's no wonder you're a crackpot
funny. I just remember that. I'm like grandpa used to do this
crazy ass thing. If that's how weird is that? I wish he were
still around man. That guy was pretty awesome. Like probably is
he's probably right now smiling at me chomping on some caviar
with his pliers. Boy well in the morning to you John C. Dvorak
in the morning, you Adam curry in the morning to all ships at
sea, and boots on the ground and feet in the air.
And I'd like to say a special warm welcome and hello to all of
the human resources who are in our chat room always there to
keep us on the straight and narrow and to yell ugly things.
Dumb. I am just an example. We have quite a quorum actually
today from all around Gitmo nation. That's it no agenda
stream.com no agenda chat.net. Good to have you guys on board
as we do the program live every Thursday and Sunday morning.
9am. Gitmo nation West time, that would be a Pacific Daylight
Time in this case. So you'll have to adjust for your for your
timezone. And it kind of came to a realization John that the
entire world seems to we have such a control grid on our
consciousness here. That while we have a million people on the
streets of Spain riding against their government, burning stuff,
you know, and the Gestapo police are they're beating them into
submission. And Spain is just the latest. You know, our
government is so smart. They turn us against each other. It's
like the whole weekend. You know, you didn't see a single
thing about Spain on television, not a single thing. All you see
is like white guys and black guys arguing about race and how
we're all gonna go kill each other. And it's just you know,
it's like wow, we are so dumb in America that we allow that to
happen
well we don't have much of a choice because the media is the
one that controls the the collective unconscious
here's I know you have a couple of Spain clips. Let me just give
you a Just close your eyes. And imagine lots of kids burning
stuff and smashing windows and and just being really angry and
shooting
motiva Dr. Russo As I'm doing this because of the new
government's abuse when it comes to spending cuts raising and
denying those achievements we gained with many years of work
and sacrifice it's going to be irreversible
see no knowledge about the labor force. I don't see it helping
employee
they get it they really get it
you know what I mean?
Yeah, well yeah, they get it they do they all this was coming
some time ago when they when they got when they ceded to the
European Union. European Union.
Yeah, yeah. Allowing them to you know, borrow a bunch of money
and spend it on projects that were a waste of money. I mean, I
when I was in Madrid, I talked about this with some of the
locals Garcia being one of them I haven't been able to get a
hold of him by the way, and it doesn't sound good. And we and
we took the road you know, I talked about that freeway that
was built outside of
the beautiful like that when no one's driving on.
There's nobody on it period. Yeah. And there's I have a clip
of with more examples of this, which is the one about which
what's the clip name?
Spain is screwed would that be the one now Spain report?
Spain is screwed and paid Spain was play play Spain is screwed.
We had that
seems like a more fun one to me. Let's see. A further problem is
the debt of the region's Valencia has the highest debt, a
region struggling with the legacy of having backed
prestigious projects. Valencia splashed out on a dazzling city
of Arts and Sciences. The only problem debt still around 600
million euros. can stay on our port glimmers in the sun that
cost 150 million euros of public money but there was no demand a
no plane Yeah.
No, no a plane plane never landed. Reminded me of that road
when I saw this report.
We shouldn't go and land there. In the first place. He's like,
hello, November's?
A little it looks like an airport that has got no buddies.
So much of the runway we're coming in.
So the Spanish had it and I reported on this one. I went to
Madrid recently on the show, they have built all this cool
stuff and it's all over Spain too because I noticed this when
I was in a couple of years early.
If you take take that road to Marbella it's which is now what
you know, of course, they had to build that beautiful road
because it used to take you know, three four hours for the
elites to get to their boats in Marbella and build this road as
45 minutes from from the airport and it's just phenomenal that
there's nothing but concrete sitting empty on the along the
whole road.
Yeah, well they I noticed these like if you go to Bilbao, they
have all these beautiful subway stations and no train no they
they built up Spain with EU money that was just kind of I
guess when the I don't know what when this began, but I guess at
some point the EU felt like you know frisky so they're doling
out all this money and then these countries aren't used to
seeing that much free money and I guess they didn't read the
fine print now they basically locked him in they stole some
they stole
the money it all down they come on it's like it's all in
buildings and everyone's already on their boat and sailing away
and setting up camp and Paraguay the Italian of the
cases these guys aren't this this is the home and when you
listen to these reports for the BBC like did the other one which
I have you can play it if you want the it's apparent that the
the model the Greek the Greek situation is almost is the
fractals is the or the the template because the template
for everything else and so Spain just going to be the next domino
Well, you know the Italians, the Italians are also protesting,
but in a different way, which cracked me up. Baron von Pels.
mocker sent me this. The Italian pharmacies are so angry about
the austerity measures, which of course includes a whole bunch of
measures as it comes to health care. They have now said we will
no longer supply anyone with Viagra. And that is a real panic
in Italy. What no Viagra No no, no, no, no. That's cool. That's
That's huge. That's it? Well, you should hit them hard man
because you know, it's all those old douchebags in Parliament who
need it Hey, wait a minute no Viagra we should probably change
something here so it's not good.
Then go to Switzerland to get it. So then here and
go to Iran to get it. Yeah, they got plenty there even looks
right. So of course here we still have nothing about the
Trayvon Martin case, which is just pitting each other, you
know, it's divide and conquer.
It says there's been some good at least you get to see a couple
of interesting little, little tiny bits. My favorite one which
I have the clip of is the end he deserves a douchebag.
Oh, Spike Lee. Spike Lee. Yeah.
There was one thing I was looking at this week, Spike Lee
tweeted out in a dress of what he thought was the Zimmerman's
home, George Zimmerman's home, which was disturbing on a lot of
levels. And then it turned out that sorts of women didn't even
live there. What happened to the people who did live in that
house?
Well, this this house belonged to a couple they are in their
70s. They did have a son there who lived there at one time,
whose middle name was George and last name was everyman, but it
wasn't the right guy. It wasn't the right address. So when Spike
Lee retweeted this address that was out there. This couple
started getting a lot of attention from the media, they
started getting menacing letters, they started getting
menacing phone calls. They were worried about their safety. So
they moved into a hotel. They just left their house behind.
Yeah, it was give Spike Lee?
What a douchebag. That guy is
but interesting. The pose the question to Joe Biden, or vice
president a, you know, there's two parts to this controversy.
One is a race. And by the way, I've learned that if you are
Hispanic, that is an ethnicity, not a race. So the argument
is, it's a race here in California, according to
everyone. No, no, no according to say anything about you. If
you say anything about the Mac of the Latino community, you're
a racist. No,
you should technically you should be an ethicist.
Well, I know most guys can't pronounce it. They would like
I'd like to say,
ethicist. You're an ethicist, you darn ethicist. You know it?
Because, you know, that's the argument. No,
it's not a race. But it's the point is, if you if you will get
called out as a racist if you do anything that's, you know, you
like good bitch about the immigration laws or do any of
these things. You're a racist? Yeah. And then the Mexican
Americans or the Mexicans will call you one. Yeah. It's so
funny up your mind people, but it's so fun.
I really well, maybe I'm just hopeful, but I really don't
think most Americans give a crap anymore. Everyone's Brown was
brown. Now. It's like we've intermingled intermix everyone's
brown. It's cool. Yeah, Christina's boyfriend won. The
name is a giveaway.
One one, and a split up to
Juan Francisco. Now. Like I don't I don't see this. I don't
see that he's Brown. I just hope we get some cool grandkids with
like, you know, chocolate brown with blonde dreadlocks. Hoping
for that. Anyway, oh, Biden is asking why we don't know. But
everyone wants beautiful grandkids come on, but
dreadlocks
should like stink. Literally, yeah. Okay.
Well, I'm just saying, oh, gosh, I can't believe I said that. I
hate that. This is one of those millennial thing. I even wrote a
blog post about it. But what people saying, you know, they'll
give you a criticism like, you're no good. Just saying.
Oh, yeah, just sayin. Oh, yeah. You've been doing that a lot. I
you know, I have not.
I haven't. I've not been doing it a lot. And in fact, it was
done to me over email and I was so angry about it. That I wrote
a blog post about it. We have to eradicate this. Okay, just
saying but yeah, you can call me out if I do it. It's that's how
bad it is. I hate it. And I still do it myself. Right. Okay.
All right. Geez. All right. So Biden is asked about the gun
issue. Because, you know, of course, when we have when you
put the people of America and you pit them against each other,
you don't want them you know, having guns because you know, we
eventually guns could be used against I don't know the
government or something. It's not a good idea. So Joe Biden
weighs in
on balance. I think that it's important look that people be
put in a position where their Second Amendment rights are
protected. But that they also don't as a consequence of laws
unintended Lee put themselves in harm's way you know the bulk of
the people who are shot with a weapon other than these drug
gangs taking on one another are ended up being shot where their
own weapon
let's dispel this myth once and for all.
What did he want? Is that even a myth? Nobody believes that
people who get shot the most are shot by their shoot themselves.
Apparently no American military weapons or drugs wounds are
bombs. That's how most people are killed with weapons. It was
stuff made by GE and Boeing was be honest about it. No, but
even if we just dropped them from the formula, he's claiming
that most people are shot with their own weapons. Yes.
Statistically, it's a fact. You didn't know that not
a fact.
It's a fact.
Where did that fat come from? It's a fact who?
I don't know Joe Biden. He's the vice president who are you to
question him.
And so the idea that there's this overwhelming additional
security and and the ownership and carrying concealed and
deadly weapons. I think it's the premise not the Constitution,
right. But the premise that it makes people safer.
Next sense,
you know what, I heard this clip, I went out and bought a
new gun.
And other states that have wide effect what's one of them? I
think, is New Hampshire is yet another one. They have much less
crime because everybody's arm everybody's
polite. It's like you know what? Hey, man, I'm not gonna mess
with you because you might be armed. Exactly.
Didn't even have to have a gun in Texas actually. Exactly. Walk
around like you've got one. I got the Ruger zombie Slayer.
Oh, have you ever seen this? It actually says it actually in
green letters on the side. It says zombie Slayer and you get
these little ammo that has a little green tip in it it's very
cool. This zombie Slayer? Like you seriously selling this?
Yeah, I need one. That's too cool.
There it is. This a little handgun? looks too small too.
What's the 380? Yeah.
The zombie Slayer. They also have it with a green laser
sight. But I thought that was that was a little over the top
with these ideas? Well, you've heard of such things. Genius. I
tell you as a trainer. 59 bucks. Now I know I got a much cheaper
than that. Oh, that's mail orders. 359
I got a low serial number. I got like 128 or something? Which is
good. It's a collector's piece collector's item. What are you
looking at the cost? 300 bucks. That's too expensive.
Now I'm just looking online.
So I did a lot of research for for everybody. I felt it was
necessary. And I'll let you choose
zombie sleigh. I'm sorry. I'm just distracted by the stupid
little gun. And he's got a one inch barrel can't even hit
anything. Well, I'm gonna take him and have a site.
I'm gonna take it out on the range. I bet you it's
even it doesn't even know it doesn't have a site. It has a
little site and has little No. Yeah, does well, I don't have it
here. You just
shoot away like a maniac can run for your life.
Well, that's what pistols are for that just to shoot until you
get to your rifle. They're not for actually hitting anything.
Here's another crappy looking gun. I hated change the topic.
But here's the 70. This is a laser plug. Nevermind. Go on.
I'm done. Yeah, really,
please stop already? Well, I read through several pieces of
legislation. Maybe I should start with one. The first thing
I started receiving a whole bunch of emails from people,
which of course, is an online campaign, which shows which
senators voted against taxing Big Oil, you know, like and the
amount of money they've received from oil companies and special
interest showing how corrupt our our government is now dA. So we
know all that. But then like, you know, what actually, was
this bill about? Because the President came out in the Rose
Garden had a cross section of Americans behind him just some
nondescript people, all shapes and sizes and colors and
figures. And you know, and he would refer to the American
people, and he kind of like, glance over his shoulder like
them back there. Do you identify? And I think it was
being very disingenuous once I read with this legislation,
actually is and I want to share that with you. Because, you
know, it's a very Republican thing to say that this was bad.
And you know, we have no agenda. But I think that there was
something that he was not saying we're lying about that we it'll
be good for you to know. When the conversation comes up at a
cocktail party. Here's what the President said in the Rose
Garden.
Today, members of Congress have a simple choice to make. They
can stand with the big oil companies, they can stand with
the American people. Right now, the biggest oil companies are
raking in record profits. Profits legal fill up every time
folks books pull up into a gas station.
That's right, your profits go up now. And I don't think the
profit margin goes up. But okay.
But on top of these record profits, oil companies are also
getting billions a year.
Now, that is by itself, really bending the truth. Because it's
not like there's some law somewhere that says, hey, you're
an oil company, here's a billion dollars. You know that? Of
course, we know
that's true. There's an oil depletion allowance, which is,
oh, no, it's it's much worse than that. John, I found out
what this is really about, but let the President continue.
Because he's, this is part of his campaign really, just to
scam us. And and if this legislation had been signed, I
believe it truly would have resulted in something very bad.
So let's continue billions
a year in taxpayer subsidies, subsidies, a subsidy that
they've enjoyed year after year, for the last century
century. Really think about
that. I'm thinking think about it.
Are you thinking? Yeah, I think what are you thinking?
I'm thinking, wow, wow, what?
eight holes, right? Or,
like hitting the American people twice. You're already paying a
premium at the pump. Right? What premium?
What premium? That's not I don't understand what he's saying that
you're already paying a premium. Or it doesn't mean we're we're
tanking premium. Because I get regular, I don't get premium.
And on top of that, Congress, up until this point, has thought it
was a good idea to send billions of dollars more. Now wait a
minute.
He's saying, John, what I'm hearing him say is Congress has
this big bag of money. And they go they pass the hat around,
they put billions of dollars into it. And then they go, hey,
here you go
billions of dollars in tax dollars tax dollar, the oil
industry. It's not as if these companies can stand on their
own.
Okay. All right. So now I'm interested. And then he goes
into this whole thing about what we really shouldn't be doing is
not given these billions of dollars to these horrible people
who are already charging a premium on us for some reason.
But we need to put that into other really great things we
know work really, really well.
I think it's curious that some folks in Congress, who are the
first to belittle investments in new sources of energy are the
ones that are fighting the hardest to maintain these
giveaways for the oil companies giveaways. Now, it's a giveaway
of taxpayer giveaways to an industry that's taxpayer
giveaway never been more profitable. He's good. We should
be using that money to double down on investments in clean
energy technologies that have never been more promising.
They've never
been profitable. Yeah.
Never been never been profitable ever been
more or less. Nova has never been profitable.
Let's see Solyndra money doing it now. No, you can't. That's
the problem. It works. I mean, you can put a windmill up and it
works. But you know, the cost of the windmill and you'd have to
use it for 50 years before it starts to pay back. But okay. He
is saying something truthfully here about doubling down and
I'll prove that to you in a moment.
Investments in wind power, solar power, Solyndra, biofuels,
biofuels, investments, and fuel efficient cars and trucks. Yeah,
battery car and energy efficient homes and buildings. That's the
future.
He's now remember you saying investments here, right? That's
the
only way we're gonna break this cycle of high gas prices that
happen year after year after year. As the
that's not true.
Guys only happened recently. Yeah, it happened in the 70s.
And then it settled back down. Now it's happening because of
him
economy is growing. The only time you start seeing lower gas
prices, and is when the economy is doing badly.
Hmm. Is that true?
No, that's not true at all. It's just the opposite. Yeah,
I don't know. Anyway, whatever. That's not Oh, hold on
a second in the 70s. When we had a downloadable economy. Yeah.
That's when we had that the OPEC decided to gouge everybody. So
they jacked up the prices and we started having $2 gas, and he
was always way under $1. Before then. And now in the sense it
goes since the 2000 two.com crash in the downturn, and it
did from 2000 to 2007. Which was started to pick up and then it
crashed again. 2008 the oil prices went up a big time during
a bush and there are bitching and moaning about during the
election. And now when the economy tanked it's gone way up.
So what So he's completed so where's What is he thinking?
What is he What was his logic for?
I don't know, but he asked you to think about it. I did and he
is doing badly. That's not the kind of pattern that we want to
be and we want the economy doing well, and people to be able to
afford their energy costs. Okay,
now, so I'm down with that, buddy. I'm like what Right. If
you listen if you listen to the president and he tells you to
think about it and you know I've got all these visuals of he's
told me to think about it. So I've got a visual of Congress
just sitting around smoking cigars and handing out billions
in cash and like Wow, man, you know, that's like it screw those
guys. What's up with that? Okay, so I go take a look at this
bill. This is house sorry, Senate Resolution 2204 also
known as the repeal big oil tax subsidies act. Nice number
again, s 2204. It'll be in the show notes at three Niner
six.na shownotes.com marked up for your convenience. So the the
whole bill is, you know, kind of what he's saying you know,
extension for credit for certain plug in electric vehicles
extended by a year. Extension of credit for alternative fuel
vehicle refueling property. So if you know if you're going to
set up a refueling station, you get a credit. Okay? I mean, if
we all agree with this, that's fine with me, it's okay. And I
don't necessarily believe in all of it. But algae, by the way,
this is an interesting one isn't is now being treated as a
qualified feedstock for purposes of the cellular cellulosic
biofuel producer credit. So I guess, algae real winner, yeah.
burnin algae. Alright, so there's just pages and pages of
this. Then it comes to the relevant right at the very
bottom here. It is the law actually midway, we get section
108 extension of production credit for wind facilities. So
I'm already in production credit. Okay, what does that
when facilities will now be taken in consideration for the
so called production credit, also an increased credit amount
for Indian coal facilities. So coal apparently is okay. The
coal was all through this thing. Then we have the extension of
election of investment tax credit in lieu of the production
credits. I'm like, What is this production credit thing? And oh,
I might want to point out, there's an expansion of
qualifying advanced energy production credit, it's merely
$4.6 billion. That so I actually it was 2.3. And it's now been
doubled. That's the doubling down to 4.6. Okay, so we're
spending an additional $2.3 billion on Advanced Energy
Project credit, which I guess means research and development
setting up other stuff. It's not really producing anything. We're
also extending the mine rescue team training credit and the
election to expense Mind Safety equipment. So mining and coal is
good. That's okay. That's a part of it. Then at the very bottom
last page, repeal of oil and gas subsidies, subtitle a close big
oil tax loophole. Okay. So this is where these guys are getting
to,
is doing it a bill. I'm looking at it to going along this
extension of this man, blah, blah, blah. This is close, big
oil tax loophole. Right. So this doesn't belong in
a bill. Well, here's where it gets very interesting. And you
know, me I'm for some reason I get off on this crap limitation
on section 199. deduction, a true attributable, attributable
to oil, natural gas or primary products thereof. And what it is
saying is denial of deduction. paragraph four of section 199.
See, the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 is amended by adding at
the end the following new sub paragraph special rule for
certain oil and gas income. In the case of any taxpayer,
there'll be a corporation was a major integrated oil company.
Essentially, that deduction credit will no longer apply to
them. So then I'm like, You know what, why don't I go take a look
at Section 199 of the Internal Revenue Code. Here it is, income
attributable to domestic production activities. This is
in our tax code. It allows the deduction of 9% of your cost if
you produce something in the United States from American
goods, so in general, I'm reading directly from the tax
code. domestic production gross receipts means the gross
receipts of the taxpayer which are derived from any lease
rental license, sale, exchange or other disposition of
qualifying production property which was manufactured,
produced, grown or extracted by the taxpayer in whole or in
significant part within the United States. So that would be
any type of energy product, but also any qualified film produced
by the taxpayer. So the entire movie industry is allowed to
deduct 9% from their gross receipts right off the top, you
don't know that's for their production. So it's really their
cost, electricity, natural gas and potable water produced by
the by the taxpayer in United States also you get that
production, credit, construction, engineering or
architectural services. Right? Notice, making a podcast is not
on this list. Now what is excluded? Excluded is the sale
of food and beverages prepared at a retail establishment, and
the transmission or distribution of electricity, natural gas or
potable water. So pipelines and stuff don't count. Oh, by the
way, any computer software, such as anything Apple makes, or
Microsoft also enjoys this 9% deduction. So what they are
saying is, we want to take one little division when I'd little
but one portion of the American industry of all of them and make
them pay for the algae stuff. By removing their 9% There's only
one thing that this would have resulted in increased prices,
because that would have been passed right on to us. So what
the President should have said, Hey, we all agree we love algae,
and we love the solar and we love the wind power, which has
now been added. So let's pay more for it. Do we all agree?
Should we just put another 9% on what we're already paying for
gas? Then let's pass this bill. But he doesn't say that. And by
the way, why don't we just lowered for everybody. Apple's
got a lot of money. Why can't we take some of their dough? Oh,
no, the iPad would be more expensive.
So I was kind of shocked at the DIS ingenuity.
I don't know if that's a word. You
know what I mean, though, right. I
like it, though. Ingenuity disingenuous, combined to make
this ingenuity. It's called
the bullcrap, then, yes, he was disingenuous. It's not she
really Obama. Yeah. But it was the crap. Let me write that
down. What did he give that speech? This past week? Wow. I
mean, I gotta put that as a first.
So you know, I was just like, Wow, man, you know, it makes it
sound like we're just handing out but we're handing the same
billions of dollars to the movie industry. How about this? How
about we make the price cool. It's only 2.62 point 3 billion.
That's all that we're really adding into it? Let's let's
Diablos make it fun. Let's make it 5 billion. Do you mind paying
an extra $2 for your movie ticket? It will save the planet.
That's how you do this not by lying about the guys in the room
handing out billions of dollars.
This you can't do it that way because nobody's going to pay
two bucks on a mu extra for LG growing things. So what are you
talking about? As everybody knows, this is all just okay.
They're kind of feel good. It's all feel good. You know? Yeah,
we got to get to win. Yeah, I feel a lot better about myself.
Because I support Wind Power Man. analogy, man. They're
growing algae, man, but pain to back. So now. As far as job that
crap, we can't i can't be having that much to turn the Publican
to cynics. All right, then. Yeah. lie to him. Yeah.
Well, but it keeps on going. Because you know, and I'm like,
Okay, that's enough. And like,
and then I went deeper into this, not into
this. And then he comes out with his little show, which he does
every, every weekend. It's the Baroque, the Baroque show. It's
a romantic comedy. It's called the presidential address. And,
and in this, he's pushing the Buffett Rule Act, which
actually, is the paying a fair share act of 2012. So there's
just so much in this, that is not true. And of course, I read
the act as well. And I want to and I need your help on this.
Because this is really not okay, what is taking place? So let's
listen to the president from his his little show.
Over the last few months, I've been talking about a choice we
face as a country. We can either settle for an economy where a
few people do really well, and everybody else struggles to get
by
Wait a minute, that is not the American dream.
Yeah, it was the American dream. Just getting by I thought that
was good. All right. Well, guess what? We
don't that good enough now for you?
Or we can build an economy where hard work pays off again. Okay,
where everyone gets a fair shot.
Oh, no. You know, when I grew up, John, you know, my mom used
to say, life's not fair. Did you ever hear that from your
parents? Probably. Everybody's heard. That's not fair. And my
mom would go Life's not fair.
Well, I got it as a snarky response to my complaints. I'm
just saying.
That's, I think, I think that was kind of ya know, my my
parents are older than me. My mom is no longer with us. And
she's probably I hope she's laughing. But a decade old
learned or 15 years older than you, I guess. That's what they
would say, life's not fair. Get over it. This is what it is.
Okay, that's how I was brought up. But now it's like, oh,
everything has to be fair.
All right, everyone does their fair share.
What does that mean? Or share? Does that fair share me
loves using that I don't even know who it appeals to.
Everyone plays by the same rules.
That's another thing. Now, not everyone plays by the same
rules. Because there's people who cheat and lie and do all
kinds of stuff. That's not like, rules.
That's up to us. Today, I want to talk to you about the idea
that everyone in this country should do their fair share.
What does that mean?
It's hilarious. He keeps saying it are perfect world, we'd have
unlimited resources. Well,
I got to back this up. This was very funny. This was actually
pretty funny.
Perfect World, we'd have unlimited resources. No one
would ever have to pay any taxes, and we could spend as
much as we wanted.
Yeah, that sounds good to me. How about you, John, I'm in
looked at hookers. Let's spend whatever we want. There's no
taxes. Now you're talking my language. But Mr. President,
but we live in the real world,
Oh, bummer. We don't
have unlimited resources. We have a deficit that needs to be
paid down. And we also have to pay for investments that will
help our economy grow and keep our country safe. Education,
Research and Technology, a strong military and retirement
programs like Medicare and Social Security
that scared me when he when he slipped Social Security in
there. I've been paying for that. He's saying we have to pay
for it. Wait a minute. I thought we already paid for that. That
scared me a little bit when he said that, but okay, I'll let
him sled trying to screw us.
So he Yes, well, he comes out with the one that he but there
is a bill, this is Senate Bill 205 niner, to reduce the deficit
by imposing a minimum effective tax rate for high income
taxpayers. And actually, I should probably pay to play his
30 seconds of what he proposes to do about this. Let me see.
Here it is. Sorry.
This is the paying a fair share. Act. Yes.
Listen to this last decade, we've spent hundreds of billions
of dollars on what was supposed to be a temporary tax cut,
again,
with the spending. Again, it sounded like we just gave all
these millionaires and billionaires hundreds of
millions of dollars. Look, here's a bag. Here's a bag, Mr.
Buffett,
for the wealthiest 2% of Americans. Now we're scheduled
to spend almost a trillion more. Now you got my attention. Today,
the wealthiest Americans are paying taxes and one of the
lowest rates in 50 years. Warren Buffett is paying a lower rate
than a secretary.
Yes, because he's a scam artist. Yeah, he's
in a hole. He doesn't pay a secretary enough. Well, over
the last 30 years, the tax rates for middle class families have
barely budged. That's not fair,
unfair. And life's not fair
to make any sense. Do we want to keep giving tax breaks to the
wealthiest Americans, folks like myself or folks, Warren Buffett,
or Bill Gates, Bill Gates? Yeah, let's
give him some tax breaks people who don't need them and never
asked for them. I love how he compares himself to Bill Gates
and Warren Buffett, what is beraksi? Kitty? What is he
sitting on? Folks like it like, Man, I don't think you're in
that class, speaking of class,
or do we want to keep investing in the things that will grow our
economy and keep us secure, because we can't afford to do
both. Now, some people call this class warfare. But I think
asking a billionaire to pay at least the same tax rate as a
secretary is just common sense. We don't envy success in this
country. We aspire to it. But we also believe that anyone who
does well for themselves should do their fair share in return.
Yeah, it's called philanthropy. And we have a very rich history
of this, of setting up all kinds of foundations and funds and
leaving your money in beautiful museums and libraries. And oh,
you mean something else? I'm sorry.
So that more people have the opportunity to get ahead. Yeah.
All right. So there's the whole idea. And if you look at the
bill, it's very simple. At least in the beginning, it's very
simple. As it says, in general, the tentative fair share tax for
the taxable years 30% of the excess of the adjusted gross
income of the taxpayer, over $1 million. So currently, the
bracket that we have is 28%, as high for federal taxes. And so
this would be a 30% tax bracket if you make, presumably, a
income over $1 million. So this is not exactly the same as
capital gains. In fact, this document, as far as I can tell,
does not necessarily deal with it. But what it what this is
meant to do, is and it says it down here at the very end.
Congress should it's not in the bill itself, but they're saying
what this isn't intended to do. He's enact tax reform that
repeals unfair and unnecessary tax loopholes and expenditure
simplifies the system for millions of taxpayers and
businesses by eliminating the alternative minimum tax for
middle class Americans. So the bill is incomplete because it's
saying this is what this is how it should work, is we tax
everyone who makes over a million dollars income, not
capital gains, but income at a 30% rate, so we can get rid of
the alternative minimum tax for the middle class. John, would
you like to I'll give the history and then John, maybe you
can explain a little bit more how the alternative minimum tax
works. Because what this this was set up in, have the history
here. In 19 6070, then Treasury Secretary Joseph Barr found out
that 155 high income households had not paid a dime of federal
income taxes, they had taken advantage of so many tax
benefits and deductions, they had reduced their tax liability
down to zero. And Congress responded by creating an add on
tax on high income households equal to at that time 10% of the
sum of tax preferences in excess of $30,000. And since 1970, this
alternative minimum tax has been adjusted for inflation. So that
even though prices have gone up, and and your wages have gone up
in real spending power, you may not have actually had more
money. So they had to adjust that level up every single time.
And that what they're talking about now is not adjusting that
level. But we should get rid of it after we take the money from
the millionaires and billionaires. Can you explain
how the alternative minimum tax works, John, just so people kind
of get a grasp on it.
I'm not even sure myself, but I know this is that the
alternative minimum tax was set up to ensure that people pay a
minimum amount of taxes. In other words, if you have a
really good some sort of a lots of writing, essentially,
essentially a tax, you have to pay minimally, yeah, if you if
you somehow got your tax, or if you make money, but you don't
pay any taxes.
So right now, that is, I believe the amount is $183,000. If you
make over $183,000, then you will have to pay whatever
portion is over that amount, you will have to pay this
alternative minimum tax over that. So there is talk of
raising that to $250,000. But what they really won't
get here on the IRS bulletin, and for the year 2010. The AMT,
the alternative minimum tax exemption was 72,000. Sorry, I'm
married couple. Oh, really? 47 for a single
I'm mistaken. So over. So basically, middle class, if
you're making over 47, which,
that's a seven is pretty, you know, very lower middle class or
middle class. We're not talking about the 40s. Right. And so if
you make over $47,000, no matter what you do, you have a minimum
tax, you have to pay, right,
so you just can't expense your way out of it. So they're
talking about raising toys.
If you make 47. Four, and you spend it all because on done
legit, I think it's all gone. You just to stay alive, you
still have to pay taxes, yes.
on whatever pittance you have left. And normally they've
adjusted that up. But what's now happening is we're not going to
adjust that we want to have the millionaires and billionaires
pay for that. And and that will then allow us to remove that
minimum tax Well, according to the Congressional Budget Office,
they say we'll probably lose about $864 billion over a 10
year period. Because this is the Buffett Rule, according to the
CBO, who does their job to report on this would generate
$47 billion over 10 years or less than 5 billion a year. But
here's the kicker. This doesn't start until 2013. It didn't
mention that.
So that's because the Bush tax. lash up expires on January
1 2013. Right, but he's making he's making you're gonna Yeah, I
don't know how much longer you're going to dwell on this.
But I do have a clip that kind of addresses or addresses it
from the other side, please. So we had Bernanke. And what's his
name Little with the guy from the from? Leave it to Beaver,
what's his name? Timmy? Yeah, right. Timmy Geithner, and he,
they were discussing certain things and so I got got to two
clips from Bernanke which kind of says it all Bernanke. Sorry.
First We'll start with the Bernanke rate ratio spiel. Now.
Yeah, just Yeah, though you set it up, then he's being asked
what what's, how long can we go on with the situation we
currently have. And I think this is one of the things Obama is
trying to address by screwing us up. But you'll see by the second
comment that burning Bernanke says, which is Bernanke number
two, that they would have Obama's barking up the wrong
tree, but go on cherub racking?
Is our current fiscal trajectory sustainable? In the United
States In the United States? No, it's not the end of clip.
Beautiful when done?
What is the sustainable debt load for a country such as ours
zero?
Well, there's no exact number. I think that the current levels
would be sustainable if they were kept more or less constant
relative to GDP. I mean, I think that's, that's, that's an
important criterion. If we could, over a period of years,
get the debt to GDP ratio to some level like 75%. And then
over time, even begin to improve that I think that would be a
much better situation. But as it stands, the CBO projections show
that under current law, the debt to GDP ratio begins to explode
in the next couple of decades.
It's like my crops exploding. Hey, so right now, our our, our
debt ratio, we're at 100%. Right. I don't know what it
Yeah, no, I think I think now we're the like 14 or 15
trillion. It is 100% of what our revenues are on an annual basis.
Yeah, yeah. It's like we're like Greece.
So here, we're not as bad. So here. So now, another guy comes
back into the hearing to ask this specific question just to
get because Geithner is there, by the way, and I don't have the
clip of him. Because I go to Geithner, after Bernanke says
this the following thing. At website and Geithner says, I we
disagree. Geithner disagrees, but it's a really, I think
Bernanke has gotten the right track here.
So explain what happens. You've mentioned this before. And just
to clarify, what happens at the end of this year, in terms of
our fiscal situation?
Well, for a number of reasons. If under current law, if no
further action is taken, there'll be what I've termed a
fiscal cliff, on January 1 of 2013. A number of tax and other
provisions expire, including the Bush tax cuts, tax UI benefits,
and at the same time on the spending side is the
sequestration arising from the failure of the supercommittee to
agree kicks in. And if all those things happen,
the sequestration that means that doesn't mean that the
Treasury and the Federal Reserve just get to do whatever they
want.
No, no, no, this is referring to that committee that I know, the
whole thing the military has to cut their spending is what it
means Oh, okay.
And I think that would be a very sharp and rapid fiscal
contraction, that would be a serious negative for the
recovery. I hope that Congress will take the opportunity to
think through where they want fiscal policy to go. And this
will be in some sense, a forcing event.
So austerity too fast, and spending, spending cuts too
soon. And tax increases, that would have a negative impact on
economic growth. That's the fiscal cliff, you're speaking of
a very sharp change in fiscal stance in a short period of
time, would have a negative effect on growth? Yes. Again, it
is important to achieve sustainability over a longer
period. But one day is kind of a short period to have such a big
change in the position.
Secretary Geithner,
let me ask you a question, John, as a world renowned economist,
should I then wait with purchasing a home or land and
acquiring a mortgage, but until that 2013 moment?
Well, that vied for wanting to get I don't think this 2013
thing is going to happen. I mean, in terms of that every
single January 1, the whole place fallen apart. No you have
to do is you got to get a good loan at a good price at it on a
piece of property that's undervalued. I mean, at any
time, it could be tomorrow, it could be two years from now, it
can be three years. And I mean, that's just essentially the
rule. And the other thing is if you really track overall
economic conditions with housing prices, and you look at him and
there's been a lot of studies of this, they really don't
necessarily track together. It's just, you know, odd that the
housing crisis caused his last, you know, essential panic that
we have right, but they don't track together so the housing
prices could be bottoming now they could be bottoming later.
Are any are local in certain local areas that could have
already bottomed out? Yeah, I think that's happened in the
back. I
think it's happened in Austin too, because Austin, people are
building man, this is like the whole downtown area is just you
know, they're gone big for the conventions. And it's just, you
know, it's huge. What's happening.
There are some parts of the country where, where the prices
are still going down. And I think that's because we're
looking at housing under horror, which will we look at housing
starts and housing prices and mortgages, and the overall in
the country is still sliding down. But in certain areas, it's
already picking up there's some grim show that that sustains and
other questions, some
green shoots. Let me finish up with Mickey was listening to
this shows he's off to the side. And she is not an American yet.
And she's, she's and her head swings around and she says
that's bullcrap. That's not true. Listen to this. This is a
part of the Barak show.
You're the ones who deserve a break.
You deserve a rainy day.
So every member of Congress is gonna go on record. And if they
vote to keep giving tax breaks to people like me, tax breaks
our country can't afford, but they're gonna have to explain to
you where that money comes from.
comes from that bag that
y'all have in Congress, you can voluntarily give more money,
Barack Yeah, it's part of the tax code is, well, if you really
feel bad about it, just add another $1,000 On the bill. I
mean, it's not a big deal. Now listen, to understand why
Buffett doesn't do that. Listen,
listen, see if you can catch what swiveled, Mickey's head
around, either it's going
to add to our deficit, or it's going to come out of your
pocket. Seniors will have to pay more for their Medicare
benefits. Students will see their interest rates go up at a
time when they can't afford it.
By the way that's happening. Anyway, that's happening this
summer, when the rates double, we've already reported on that.
That's going to be a fiasco. But that's not what I'm talking
about.
Families who are scraping by will have to do more, because
the richest Americans are doing less bastards. That's not right.
That's not who we are. In America, our story has never
been about what we can do by ourselves. It's about what we
do just like Mickey. She would listen to it, but there's a
second
part to it. It's about what we can do together.
Oh, it's not what we can do. No, it's not.
When is what is where's this guy? What country is this guy
from?
Let me listen to that again. No, it's really good.
In America, our story has never been about what we can do by
ourselves. It's about what we can do together. It's about
believing in our future, and the future of this country. So tell
your members of Congress to do the right thing.
At this, it's just not true. This is the country of
opportunity for the self made man. Yeah, individualism who
then hopefully treat his employees well, you know, he
does great things for his community. The Austin is built
on Dell, and
Dell, Lance Armstrong, and Dell Dell, capital, the government,
we got nothing here and there's no oil no nothing. Yeah, the
capital, the capital, obviously.
But it's the University of Texas and research. Well, UT, of
course,
you know, paid for Dell as well. But yeah, that's how it's
supposed to work. And then you spread it around. And that's why
we have 5% official number unemployment here in Austin. And
everyone's No, there's no there are guys at the stoplights. But
we don't really have homeless that I've seen and I've looked
around I'm sure we have some tent camps somewhere that just
haven't found yet. But it's much better than most of the country
is a lot better than Spain. But to say that we're not about one
guy know what this makes no sense. That's why people come
here. I go to America, I can work my butt off and I can I can
Yeah, they
don't come to America to join a collective to become a member of
a kibbutz
Hey, man, we need to thank some producers, because we are just
scraping by. But every single morning, Miss Mickey and I wake
up and we go, man, how awesome is it? We get to do what we want
to do and you don't have a suit telling you what to do. Yeah,
thank you and like Keith Olbermann who just got fired.
Gee, how predictable was that? Yeah, it's pretty predictable.
He's got either has to go on his own or he's gonna just get keep
getting fired. Yeah, well, he takes a lot of guts. I don't
think he's got the nerve to go on and his own.
No, like, oh, my gosh, John like us. Is that what you're saying?
Like us?
Exactly. I think we have a big problem. I think our producers
that help us and cluding at the top of the list today they are
executive producer Rubio Spice Company. Hey, no I helped you
make the cut off of April Fool's show up and the road heading to
a big meeting with Costco, Costco, Mexico.
Border Manyana Hold on a second whereas
I'd love some meeting karma in hopes that the marketing leads
to Costco buying grillers rub which is the rub is the stuff
you like. Yeah, right cool. It's great good. I'm going to talk to
these guys some more because I'd like to get him to do a couple
of the things there was a when I one of my favorite steak
seasoning you know steak seasoning is really sketchy most
of its crap and it's big chunks of stuff is terrible.
I got the guy here at the at the at the market. He makes his own
with his own homegrown cocoa beans. He makes a rub with a
it's pretty outstanding.
Okay, well, I'm gonna get back to the I'm talking about steak
seasoning. Not a problem. Sorry. And there used to be a I mean, I
taste I check all these these, you know these spices that are
blended all the time. The end and the Winn Dixie stores in the
south used to carry a line. I think they still carried a lot.
I think they may be phasing out they bought a Spice Company
called Astor. And they had a steak seasoning that was
absolutely phenomenal for steaks and chicken and everything else
and they kind of discontinued it because I guess well, at some
point, the rumor is that they were grinding a bunch of this
stuff up and I guess one of the machines grinding machines fell
apart and most of the steak seasoning was metal filings.
I can make that. And apparently
the whole thing a bad reputation.
Other stuff other stuff like silica.
I think that if we can get the Rubio Spice Company to isolate
that formula, they think they'd be onto something but anyway,
Hey,
can I just say I'd love to try some of the Rubio spice so maybe
it can shoot? Yeah, I'd love to try it you kidding me? Yeah, you
know that becomes a big contenders good for like, you
know, 20 racks of ribs quite a bit. Anyway, thanks as always
for the great part of the best podcast in universe and you got
your shameless
plug there apparently. And then a little bit of karma Hold on a
second meeting karma for you meeting karma. You've got karma.
Ryan Benson and Tampa, Florida $330 and other executive
producer thanks for the greatest podcast in university shows.
Such a welcome light of honest intelligence in a dark world of
ignorance and media manipulation somehow even make the depressing
news and analysis funny and entertaining. Yeah. Hey, no,
this douchebag has been listening for years now never
donated please consider this my Mia culpa and de douche me. I'm
turning 30 on April 2, could you and we got him on the birthday
list. Want to add that? I think there's a great argument
favorite your donation model that I'm not sure you ever
mentioned on the air, many shows develop a core audience that
loves them. And then the the when they go to advertising,
they bend to the pressure to widen their demographics to get
more advertisers, which you have to do. And this almost always
waters down to programming. So it's crap. And it turns out, you
start to suck. That's exactly Oh, agenda will never do this.
If people like us continue to help keep you on the air. That's
$30 from Ryan de douching.
You've been de deuced
Mark Randles here for I think, let me just take one quick look.
No note. I don't see a note. Yeah, you know, he may have
said something. I'm just gonna take a quick look into the into
the
while you're doing that. Let me mention everybody that the cut
off time for donations for the show itself. Is Is it midnight?
The day before, John?
Yeah. And the reason for that is a bow basically. Yeah, well,
what happens on Thursday in particular, they and I talked to
by the way, we've got a new we have concerns. We have some
papers, I wrote some column. So the Pay Pal people contacted me
and they said they gave us a whole bunch a team of people
that will help us and we have oh, you you wrote
about Pay Pal sucking? Yeah, yeah.
And so suddenly, we didn't get attention in this world. Yeah.
And so they told me that they do a lot of maintenance on
Thursday, and it causes some some difficulty getting
downloads. And so we ran into the situation where we would ask
for the downloads of the contributors on Thursday
morning, and we wouldn't get it in time for the show.
So they kindly offered to move their maintenance window to a
different guy. They're not changing anything.
Oh, really. But so we're gonna continue doing
and you have a whole team. You have a team leader and
everything. It really is you hot. It's a bunch of guys, but a
bunch of bunch of nerds.
Anyway, Michael Randall in Halifax, Nova Scotia 233 32. He
sends a note in I'm recent political science graduate and
started listening since January now you've convinced me the US
and China in the middle of a cold war with the US attacking
on the pipeline front and China attacking on the side breakfront
I am a first time donor with like a shot of karma and a de
douche bag and a douche bag my friend Miles. Miles who has been
listening longer than me but never donated Can I also get a
podcast license for the best Canadian podcast background
noise can be found in background noise.ca. I would highly
recommend it to all the slaves out there happy to support the
best podcast in the universe.
You got it. Thank you so much for your support. You've got
karma
to 3332 then we have Ryan bird. No, no, no,
Tyler Crothers.
Oh, I'm sorry. Went down too far, sorry, Tyler, Crothers,
Lincoln, Nebraska. 233. What's up, John. And I've just got the
no agenda email today about the Google throwing all the emails
that we had at mailing last week, and it was going to
explain on this show. So I had to send out another mailing tab.
People look in there because we got like 15 to 20% response non
responses. We never get that much. We got about 15 to 20%
people open the email that was extremely low because we
normally have 60. And I think there's still a lot of spam
problems. So I've isolated what it wasn't as kind of a weird
bug. But it's in the Google spam filters.
Let me guess. If you use Google Payments, your emails don't go
to spam. If you use PayPal link, your stuff goes to spam. Is that
an educated guess?
That's a good good, good attempt. No, actually, what it
was is, it's weird. I had always been running the mailings that
we do, we run the mail mainly through MailChimp. And
MailChimp. If you want to see what people are clicking on
because you put a bunch of links in your mail saying and I want
you to check this out. Check that out. You tell MailChimp to
track the clicks. And in so doing they do have one of these
forwarding things where they were the when you click on
somebody actually goes to MailChimp, then it gets
forwarded to the real link, you know that? What's it called a
forwarding or it's called like, as a word phishing. No, it's not
phishing, it actually could be construed as such, I suppose.
But anyway, no, it's it's a way to it's only way you can track
to tracking mechanism, right? So every link would be it comes
from MailChimp, because that mail delivery service in every
link would have MailChimp, MailChimp, MailChimp, then then
a forwarding link. This time I said, you know what's it's
probably going to cost abusers and millisecond as to go this
roundabout way. Because I was playing with it earlier in the
day, and it was seems to be delaying as MailChimp was
burdened or something. So I killed that I didn't want I
didn't factor why bother tracking the clicks that, you
know, just give the people the straight link that got me
spammed, and I think it's really Yes. And I said, Here's what my
explanation is, by reverse engineering the process. Google
knows that male chimps, very rigid company, they don't if
they hit you know, you, somebody unsubscribes they never you if
you unsubscribe to this list, you will never get back on it.
MailChimp will just not let it happen. Right? MailChimp is
really good about spam and they test they do testing they have
all these things. So if it comes from MailChimp, it's probably a
legitimate mail. Google Mail knows this. And then when they
go down the line they see MailChimp, MailChimp, MailChimp,
MailChimp, because those are all the 40s they say yeah, it's
typical of the of a MailChimp mailing because everybody does
this. passes it through. I by being a smartass killed the
forwarding thing. And so it was coming from MailChimp, but every
link was like duh, duh, duh, no agenda show to your direct links
to all these different things, right? Uh huh. Google looks at
that. Oh yeah. And they killed me. So us, us they killed us.
Well, he killed me because it's my fault. Erin, luckily, really,
they killed me Yeah, but anyway, they killed our mailing and
attended people and there was mostly Google downloads a few
other guys but that was the reason it's because that's the
only thing I did different so
every single show notes for every episode has an RSS link to
the newsletter and that's the best way to get it I guess we
can't track it until we don't know it who opened or not. But
it just proves that email is broken and yet you wrote another
column about email which I saw was pretty interesting. But I
would recommend you subscribe to the RSS link for the newsletter
and screw the tracking we just want you to get the information
alright let's move on because
sorry about that it's a bag promised a bunch of people that
I tell him what happened all we know if you're going to use
MailChimp now you know that that little don't do that. Yeah,
right. Don't Don't Don't be smart. Anyway, so watch Crothers
I got the no agenda, email and he saw the bottom and said our
phone number he called me. So anyway, that was and you
answered Yeah. Don't encourage it.
He said I called it Holy shit. It's really John on the other
end of the line. I thought that was cool as hell. Hey, who's
donating $233? Hey, new promotion costs I talked to John
at Dr. John get some wine advice. Talk about Costco. Talk
about meat rubs. Rub your meat with John for 233 bucks. This is
a new promotion. I'm feeling it.
And Ryan bird jet and Oh, Seattle, Washington $200.01.
Well, apparently I'm an idiot was unable to actually make this
donation on time with the show. Hope you still read my note.
Okay. Keep informing us drones. Danny Baker in Morristown,
Tennessee. $200, requesting karma for my step niece,
Heather, who has been diagnosed with Stage Two cancer Yikes, at
the age of 21. That's terrible.
Anti hate cancer karma. You got karma.
And we want to thank all those contributors that especially the
executive producers, Associate Executive producers for show 396
I want to remind you go to no agenda show.com no agenda
nation.com. Divorce act.org/n, a and child of org.com/na. And
keep us going here. Do we need your help.org/n?
A? That's right. We definitely do need your help. And before we
move on, just a few PR mentions, we still have people now
understanding that we'd rather have you send us the money or
get a $5 month subscription. We have more than enough domain
names. But I still will will mention that I do like what CS
had. He says I've had this around for a while. I know
you're stopping with it. But I think it'd be good if we forward
this to no agenda show.com Romney sucks.org, which is
pretty good. And I think we'll be able to remember a nice
site that we should be able to sell to someone else. Now here's
some money. Yeah.
Here's what I like. This is the kind of promotion a PR
initiatives that I think are really good. Do you recall John,
we talked about Ken sunshine. On the previous episode. Yes, I can
sunshine. Yes, he is the he's the guy who does all the PR for
all the top celebrities. Do you remember we talked about his
wiki page? How there was like almost no entry and yeah, it was
he was he has been? Yeah, doggone it.
Yeah. Why don't you go to his wiki page and read for me the
last paragraph, there's only three paragraphs.
I'm already guessing what it might be.
It's a great PR move. Check it out. And it's been up for like
three days so you know this guy will
probably get get rid of it shortly. Let me
go ahead read it.
Okay. So goes on. He's got three grasses third graph says he was
featured on no agenda show in 2012. And a controversial
episode was Adam curry described him as quote a douchebag.
Which, by the way, I didn't do because I listened to the
episode, but that's okay. We like it.
Yeah, you didn't do that. That's probably good. Since you don't
want to be douche douching everybody doesn't know anything.
Especially don't get the concept. No comment has yet been
made by a red representative of the no agenda show as the basis
of these remarks. The controversy has sparked
conversation about freedom of speech and podcasting and
liability. But where's our link down at the bottom under
references?
That's the only thing that didn't work out too well for us.
Yeah, but someone can put the link in I mean, come on. It's a
wiki.
And by the way, when you put these in no agenda show has a
wiki page. So you can put a you can highlight that with a
forwarding link. Oh, that's right. In the in the Wikipedia.
Yeah, curry does too. So you can highlight his name that you just
put I forget what is the method for that?
I'm not sure there's a wiki page for douchebag
that let me since I didn't put this in and it's got nothing to
do with me. I'm going to stay away stay away. Stay No, I'm
gonna put this now watch this. Watch this. Watch how easy this
is.
Isn't you do it like in quotes or something?
No, no, two two brackets.
Who brackets? Okay,
I'm refreshing a break here. Just take me one second to get
on. Top booth Holly algea Chica ching ching. Let me just show
preview so I make sure I didn't screw it out. I
don't see it, man. It's not come with just previewing it right
now. I'm
looking at okay. Oh, no agenda show. What? Wait, wait, what's
it go to the wiki page for no agenda show and see how that's
what happens here. One second. Just go to the no agenda show
thing. I'm glad one word is one word.
I'm going I'm going I'm going it says that says the page does not
exist. No space agenda.
No space. Ace agenda.
No, no underscore agenda is the URL. But the it doesn't say no
agenda podcast just has no agenda. We are the Wikipedia
entry for no agenda.
Okay, hold on a second. Let me get this fixed. Take a second.
Someone else in the chat room was gonna do it before you're
even done with Oh, no, I'm
doing it. Now. If they're getting there, they're gonna be
messing with me over rucious. And I'm only I'm just being
cautious here because I'm on the air. Otherwise, I just save
page. I never really do this much extra work.
It was already it
was okay. We're ready to go. Hold on. We're gonna post it.
All right.
I'm refreshing. I'm looking. I
showed up. Just going to save now. Save, save. Oh, yay. Good
job.
You got no agenda and Adam curry are both very good. Very good,
John. Very good. Very good. That's how you do it. Ladies,
real time. All right.
Thank you for this instructional lesson. So thanks to our
executive producers, our Associate Executive producers,
these are actual credits. And you see that you can actually
call and have someone vouch for you, me or John. You can just
call John.
Just call do is call column. And of course you
go out and propagate our ever important formula. Our formula
is this. We go out. We hit people in the mouth.
Sam Woodman shut offs.
And Tyler Crothers says, Hey, man, I spoke to John, I sent you
on 33 bucks. But I didn't get no karma. Alright, man. You've got
karma. I don't think it was actually in his No. I didn't see
it. I didn't see it in this note, but that's okay. All
right. He said he sent me an email real time. Here we go. I
don't I do not see the word karma in his note.
No. You don't just get caught up. We got to be a little more
judicious.
Can I have a Karma shot now?
shushing Janelle are douchebags, yes. For karma shot,
it's in the note I see it now. Okay. So hi, right. Onward. Gah,
right. Good onward. Yes. Since you have 8 million things to
share with us today wanted to
hit that many tenure close my email box was come up with
something does that mean? I mean, I went to the wiki page, I
shut down my email and I gotta go back to it. Here it is. So
I'm a person of interest. I got this clip from a number of
producers who were kind enough to clip it for me it's great
because I don't watch this program. Great show. Well, did
you see the most recent episode Apparently, some something very
interesting. As you know, we always talk about how Facebook
is not only invested in
that I did see this and I didn't think it clipping it but it's
pretty funny. Yeah, I got
the clip. So Facebook, of course, partially funded by in Q
tel a CIA investment, venture capital investment firm. We know
from the Time magazine article, when Mark Zuckerberg was being
interviewed on the cover of Time Magazine, The Mueller, the
director of the FBI stuck his head around the corner said hey,
I'm just in the building hanging out. Just wanted to say hi.
Like, yeah, that's what the director of the FBI is
just hanging out at Facebook. Yeah, it's just the funniest
story.
And so the Person of Interest pick this up and helped us out
just by basically rewriting everything you've heard on this
show.
Good morning, Mr. is, if you say so. And cookie are in there, if
that's a doughnut,
and yes.
What do we got? Nothing much. Unfortunately, the machine
kicked out a number that has one of the smallest digital
footprints I've ever seen. No photos. Not everyone in New York
has a driver's license. Mr. Reese. First three digits of the
social suggests that Jordan Hester was born in Georgia. I'm
supposed to recognize him by his or her. I can't even verify the
gender histories living off the grid off the photos online and
nothing on the social networking sites. I never understood why
people put all their information on the site is to make our job a
lot easier in the CIA. Of course, that's why I created
them. You're telling me you invented online social
networking fetch. The machine needed more information.
people's social graph their associations, a government have
been trying to figure it out for years. Turns out most people
were happy to volunteer it. Business wound up being quite
profitable. Unfortunately, Jordan Hester seems to be more
cautious than most.
The machine needed more information. We had to feed the
machine I mean, even put social graph in there and fantastic.
Yeah. I think there's some sick truth to it. No, no. doll This
is the same show that we had we took a clip from recently where
they were the CIA was running the drug business. Yeah,
these guys have right. Whoever's writing the show Good on you
enjoy the superior. They donate some time. Well, yeah,
yeah. JJ Abrams and Chris Nolan are the two guys.
Send us some money. So while we're on this quick like nine
second clip from Congressman Mike Rogers, he is from I think,
Michigan. And he ratcheted up the cyber attacks, scare
tactics. Cyber
attack is on its way. We will suffer a catastrophic cyber
attack,
the clock is ticking. clock is ticking. We're all going to die.
We're all going to die.
Now I thought that was the clock is ticking. Hey, just disconnect
all that crap from the internet. You don't need it. And it's not
that hard. Now this this guy, the director of cyber, I don't
was official title is the cyber counterintelligence, I guess
from the FBI. His name is Shawn Henry. And you could actually
see this while of course, I have the link in the show notes. 306
na schoenaerts.com. But it's proudly prominently presented on
the FBI homepage fbi.gov. Sean Henry is leaving for an
undisclosed position at an undisclosed security company,
Salesforce, Salesforce, Salesforce. And he of course,
couldn't just leave the organization without a video
interview. And he was saying some stuff, man, these FBI guys,
I mean, there's Edgar Hoover's still all over this
organization, because he's insane. Listen, listen to what
he says.
three primary actors are actors.
It's all actors. By the way. This thing does actors thing is
bugging me. It really is because they should choose a different
word.
I can barely hear it,
threatening primarily the financial services sector, but
more and more, they're expanding the scope of their attack. state
sponsored foreign governments that are interested in filtering
data, including intellectual property and research and
development data from major manufacturers, from government
agencies, from defense contractors, and increasingly
there are terrorist groups who want to impact this country the
same way they did 10 years ago by flying planes into buildings,
and they're looking at how,
wait a minute. Now he's telling me that al Qaeda is the same
guys. He just said that, who flew airplanes in the buildings.
Now they want to do cyber attacks
in Western society, by looking at critical infrastructure,
disrupt ability of
that's not even the worst clip you've ever played. It's not
even his jurisdiction, your clip, what's wrong with my clip,
and
where you can barely hear it? And it sounds like it's out of
phase.
Well, it might be something through Skype because it sounds
good here. Well, just for your enjoyment, I have another one.
And this is something I did not know attention. Producers in
Gitmo nation, low lands, Attention, attention people in
the Netherlands. This should make you worried,
actually stationed FBI agents overseas into the police
agencies. A number of countries including Ukraine, Romania,
Estonia, these are not people that are assigned to the embassy
as liaison officers. These are actual FBI agents who are
working 100% of their time in cyberspace against cyber actors.
And they are sitting side by side with their colleagues in
the national police agencies of those countries.
Now, I didn't know that. I can hear it. That's very weird.
Anyway, what he said is that they have FBI cyber agents in
many countries, including the Netherlands who sit side by side
in the police station, the FBI. That's not their job. CIA Yeah,
maybe. But the FBI sitting in the Netherlands?
Yeah, there was a bit remember a couple of years ago when there
was some other weird incidents world incidents all of a sudden
they called the FBI in to overseas Yeah, it's weird. It's
been going on for a while but I'm not absolutely sure what
what jurisdiction or what might I don't even know what why it
makes it like I said, you know, I think you said not even the
CIA but the NSA or some people are used to right I mean, if
you've been listening in or check that kind of stuff sounds
the NSA them It doesn't sound like anything the FBI should be
involved with.
Well, they are. And he's like, yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, bitches.
Were everywhere in the lowlands. So I guess I think it was out of
phase. I'm sorry. I sounded Okay. Here. I don't know what
happened.
That's weird. No, it's not a terrible.
Okay. Well, hopefully it'll sound okay on the recording for
the show.
Well, while you were doing this stuff,
don't be little that don't belittle me
or if you want to get into some some low heavy duty and I there
was a there's this this Iranian thing is really cranking up when
I mean, if you watch C span over the weekend, Oh, yeah. It's just
like I ran I ran I ran I ran I ran it was unbelievable. Just
never ended. Yeah. And
quickly, because up is ramping it up.
And I have a couple of clips that none of which is good. From
this guy, please
share them. That no good. Let's listen to some no good clips.
There's this, I want you to play this one first, because it's
just brings up two issues. One is this guy telling me this guy
doesn't sound like a dead ringer for the vet Khun Dre, which
makes me think that there's like a milieu where you talk like
this, where you're, you're kind of you're talking about what and
then you just jump you kind of overlap your sentence structure
in a way to cover up the fact that you're not saying anything
at all. And you're probably not the brightest guy in the world,
except us guys at the RAND Corporation place separated at
birth. Yeah, this is like skip logic stuff is easy all over
this,
anything dumb like that. But it's just the pacing and, and
style of not saying anything intelligent.
But looking at the Iranian nuclear program. It is motivated
by insecurity and fear, fear of the United States fear of US
military capabilities. So I don't think necessarily that the
threat of attacking Iran's facilities by the United States
or Israel is necessarily productive, you can argue that
that threat actually may compel Iran to weaponize this program.
And the future, even I think sanctions. We don't entirely
know if sanctions will have the effect of dissuading Iran from
weaponizing. It could get to a point. If the regime feels that
it's in peril, it could see a nuclear weapons capability as a
solution to its problems. So
Dead Ringer, Dead Ringers
a weird style, I had another clip from where he, he's dropped
in some just drops words in, it's just that he's a total dead
ringer. But anyway, he had really nothing to say, the guy
who did actually have something to say is this professor at
Georgetown, who I think lays it out, and he is like a super
hawk. This is one of these panels. And he went on and on
about, he essentially told us that we're going to die. Yeah.
So Where's where's that?
Yeah, it's a got it, like being able
to deter a major US or Israeli military attack. And their
second goal in their own strategy documents that they
publish in public is to become the most dominant state in the
Middle East. Okay, so my colleagues think that they'll
stop it this kind of Japan model where you have a lot of HEU, and
you have the ability to enrich. But I don't think that Japan
model is going to deter us or Israeli attack, I don't think
the Japan model what is the
Japan model?
Because the Japan model is to become a dominant player in your
region by and using nukes as a power source. And you know what
they did with the Fukushima I mean, the Japan, that's what
you're you'd be using.
It's not some chicken without pubic hair.
It could be maybe that's what he's talking about.
What makes you the most dominant state in the region, if those
are their strategic goals, I take them at their word at that.
They need weapons. So I think that, you know, they're playing
it smart in terms of the way they move forward. And they
might stop short for a while. But I think that eventually
they're going to weaponize, I think there's very little reason
to believe that they're going to stop at this late in capability
in terms of Israel's decision, you know, so this is something
that maybe didn't come out enough in in the talk, but the
Israeli option in the US option are very different. The major
difference being that the United States has much greater
capability, it has much greater ability to inflict lasting
damage on Iran's nuclear program. So I think on balance,
actually, that the Israeli military option is not a good
one. And I'm not an advocate of an Israeli Israeli strike. I am
an advocate of a US strike because I think of the
Who is this guy? You heard it right. Yeah.
I'm an advocate of a US strike. Yeah. Wow. Well, screw you
douchebag knows
that I'm finished and you hear the worst part,
the damage that we can inflict that on balance, the benefits
outweigh the cost. In terms of whether Israel will go the mean,
the problem they face is that their window for effective
military action is rapidly closing because they have less
of an ability to hit the barrier. and underground, buried
in hardened facilities. This
guy watched too much, Erin Burnett
is watching. You watch too much 24 He's
totally believing all this stuff. Oh, yeah, no, he's not
nuclear bunkers. That's where they make the Viagra Dude, we
know that by now saying that
the thing that's interesting is that I want you to finish this
clip first. Yeah, I was looking at today's New York Times and
the meme that's starting to crop out. There's a bunch of the crop
the crop crop up or crop out? Well, you said Viagra. Okay, so
the meme that's cropping up is. And so it's all over the paper.
And I think and I think this guy's a reflection of it, which
is the intelligence agencies which are in full agreement,
that there's nothing going on, right? They are gun shy, this
was the here's the meme here. You hear this out there actually
gun shy to say anything's going on, because they were so
humiliated by what happened in Iraq, even though they never
said anything was going on in Iraq. And it was all forced by
Cheney, who apparently kept showing up at Langley every five
minutes to goad them into saying something that they could use,
they can hang their hat on. And so they're so gun shy, that
they're, they're reticent to make do to go out on a limb, and
actually say that the Iranians are maybe doing something, they
won't even go that far. And so the meme is that they that the
agencies are, are there, you can't take, you can't believe
anything they say, which is bogus, because you could have
believed them the first one with the Iraqi thing, because they
knew it was nothing going on. But they, you know, they were
goaded into saying something else. But they were right to
begin with. And now they're saying there's nothing going on
in Iran. But now we're trying to convince ourselves that well,
but as you're full of crap, they don't know what they're doing.
Let me finish this guy, he's an idiot.
And as Iran follows through on these plans to do more and more
enrichment work at calm, Israel sees its window for effective
action closing. So I think it's very likely that in the next six
months or so, if we don't get a deal, and Israel isn't
absolutely convinced that the United States will take action,
if necessary, later on, which I think is going to be a very hard
case to make, that Israel will take action. So I do think that
there's, you know, it's difficult to say, but, uh, you
know, to put a point estimate on it, but there's a high
probability that there will be a conflict this year.
So what school does this professor attend? Georgetown?
The I'm boycotting that. Georgetown is a horrible
institution. How can you have this guy representing you? And
you know, and now like, oh, Romney, and you know, he's the
chosen one. And that guy's all about bombing.
Oh, by the way, the Council on Foreign Relations. And his name
is chronograph KROE. Nia G, if you want to look him up on the
wiki,
his name is douchebag. I've changed his name now officially,
ah, so they are all talking about the possibilities of this,
you know, that they're all the intelligence guys. They're full
of crap, the VA and the Iranians are very being very careful to
keep their enrichment under 20%, which is, you know, you need 90,
but they could well, they were they were enriching to 20%,
which is what you'd use for, for making energy producing
facility. But they can take and take all that back and they can
crank it up and they make a weapon. And did they the all
these guys, this guy, by the way, don't have all this
flipside, he was on forever. He says that they can make a bomb
and four weeks, four weeks from today,
you can I gotta get that clip, because the president can use
that. You say it only takes a handful of this material and
four weeks. That's not even two paychecks. We dead, the Iranians
evil Iranians, then
the logic of the Iranians bomb, you know, the fears, oh, they're
gonna throw a miss and the Israelis are worried about this.
They're gonna throw a missile into Jerusalem or Tel Aviv
actually would be the target. And it would create a cloud of
radioactive dust that would go you know, into Russia. It would
create gonna happen this is it makes no sense
makes no sense. You know, you know what makes some sense?
Because we have a Savior. And this is a YouTube clip that has
now gone viral from Benjamin Fulford. Are you familiar with
his name? Ah, Benjamin Fulford has been getting a lot of
exposure in the past couple of weeks. He is a as he says, a
representative of the white hat dragon organization. I think
that's what it is the white dragon organization and this is
a YouTube clip. His name? Benjamin Fulford Fu, l fo rd and
he did a press conference with two amazing guys and we're gonna
play you his intro because we my friend are safe fellow humans.
I'm Benjamin Fulford, spokesperson for the White
Dragon Society with me here is photoing Daigaku he is the head
of the world's martial arts societies, and if necessary, and
in an emergency, he can summon up an army of 200 million people
worldwide.
That's 200 million ninjas, John 200 million ninjas who could
move worldwide in a heartbeat.
Here on my right is Alexander Romanov, who is a grandmaster of
an Illuminati group that, that claims to have started the
French, Russian and American Revolutions. As you may know,
there has been a battle going on or the future of this planet.
The western countries have been taken over by a mafia
organization, all composed of members of the same clan and
they're not dues, okay? They worship Lucifer. And they want a
world government controlled by them was the rest of us in
perpetual debt, slavery and drudgery and with no hope of
ever, ruling our own destinies. We offer a very different
vision. We offer world peace, we offer $100,000 for every man,
woman and child to be delivered in the form of schools,
hospitals, free education, nature preserves, and all the
sorts of things that most people want. We all want to stop world
poverty, we want to stop environmental destruction. And
we all wish to have a prosperous and happy and peaceful future.
And that's the alternative we are offering. Thank you.
So this guy could be a little have a little more charisma. Let
me just read you from his blog. As predicted, the collapse of
the Satan worshipping financial mafia is accelerating. Well,
this is the guy that's been tracking all the bankers by the
way, who have been quitting and leaving the 350 banker. So, you
know, I have learned John in my life, never to laugh at the
crazy guy. You also shouldn't argue with him. But never,
that's for sure. Never laugh at him, because that is typically
the guy who is right on top of his game, or has a billion
dollars to invest. Or I've seen it so many times that I don't
laugh too hard. I did have to laugh about the guy who can
summon the 200 million ninjas. This guy is fantastic. He's
wearing a bowler hat. He's got a big stick with all kinds of
ropes and snakes off of it. And he's got like, he's got the
sunglasses. I mean, he's not only that he has the voice. And
he believes that Putin, who is a judo student, is the right guy
to lead the world and his 200 million ninjas and listen to
because a Benjamin who speaks fluent Japanese I guess will
translate but listen to the guy's voice He's everything you
want in the ninja leader Master.
No, no, no. No no good. What is the potty? Sick i Oh, yeah.
Whatever you I love Benjamin going Yeah, yeah, indeed. Your
dog Neil Yarrow amigo.
Yes, the International associations of Bushido karate,
judo, Kung Fu, etc, can muster worldwide at any given time. 200
million people. And they only fight under the Code of
chivalry, which is you don't attack woman children and non
combatants, which is what the other side has been doing.
I love this guy. Hi. Hi. Hi.
But you know what? I bet you there's something to that. I bet
you there is you know, yeah. Of all the judo jujitsu shoes. The
all these guys, I bet you there is an organization that has like
some secret network and maybe this is the guy. Yeah, sure.
Listen to what he says about Putin. Well, you know,
he believes that with Putin's help and the martial arts
societies worldwide, we can cause major change. And of
course, the Illuminati who are throughout the Western
intelligence agencies military and this is not the Italian
Illuminati. This is the agnostic Illuminati. And they want
meritocracy rule by the people who are the best people who
worked their way up the system, not people who are born into it,
and given it have it given to them even though they are often
not very bright.
So it's funny, but I'm not really laughing too hard,
because you know, I am okay. I knew you'd appreciate it.
Oh yeah, no, I liked that guy's voice too.
He's good. He looks the part though he is so awesome. He's so
awesome to Putin is the man. Putin is going to save us, my
friend.
Well, on top of that, you might as well play I feel terrible.
Bad feel terrible. I just cannot sit here and concentrate on my
lines. Because I'm so nauseous. Who's that?
Somebody on the world's next model or whatever the hell?
Do you watch that? I watched that gladness. You're horrible.
Let me do you remember we talked about this new woman who was now
the undersecretary of state? Her name is Sherman. Her last name?
Sure, man. And let me see what her first name
the Wayback Machine.
Let me see
her name. Cindy Sherman.
No, it's not to Cindy. She looks. She's dead ringer without
the wrinkles for the IMF. Woman. Wendy Sherman. Wendy. Yeah, look
at her. She looks just like Christine Lagarde. Kick her up.
You see,
geez, she does like dancing around separated at birth. Yeah,
except
she doesn't have all the wrinkles. A younger version, you
know, because she didn't have the Chicago mafia sitting on her
face.
She's obviously right, that injecting lamb fetuses into our
system, right? Just born in 1949. She's just as old.
So she, she's probably
more wrinkly than she looks in this photo.
No, I have video from her. Because it was a big conference.
And Johnny Carson was there, which is what always makes me
laugh. Because of course, it's not the dead Johnny Carson talk
show host. But it's Johnny Carson Johnny, who is in charge
of Africa. He's the he's in another state department yours,
Johnny. And so this clip is a little long, two minutes. But I
think very interesting to hear the hubris of the United States
State Department, this would be yet clippity clop State
Department messages clear. Clip. We got to remix. I like it. And
listen to the hubris of her talking about Africa and how
great Africa is for America, for the world, how we're going to
help them how we're so awesome. Not a word about the Chinese in
there, by the way, not a single word about the Chinese just have
a listen.
Africa has changed substantially over the past decade. And it is
in my view,
China built it up, it's kicking ass. That's why it's changed
substantially over the past decade, you way past
time to recognize the positive developments that are occurring,
and the enormous potential that they present for Africa, for the
United States. And for the global community.
I just get a kick out of
that. Apparently, it's
awesome for us. Africa is a continent on the move.
They're running away from your drones. That's why they're on
the move like, hey, they come to kente there's another drone man,
let's run. That's why they're on the move
you ally some of the economic gains that have eluded it in the
past six of the 10 fastest growing countries in the world,
or in Sub Saharan Africa, I think most people would find
that an astonishing fact.
Oh, fact.
astonishing fact
astonishing. And the IMF predicts that over the next five
my sister five years Sub Saharan Africa, that that number will
reach seven of the top 10
are starting to get a picture as to why we've got all these bases
there and drones and all that. I mean, it's starting to make
sense in the people
I visited to have those fastest growing countries Angola and
Nigeria, as well as Zambia, Malawi, and Kenya
actually picked up a baby to Nigeria to pick up her money.
And she went
to Malawi to pick up a baby.
And it is clear that those dramatic changes that I spoke of
are happening. As we look at Africa, it's important to both
look at and look beyond the headlines and I wanted to stop
for a moment to note two very positive outcomes and what is
sometimes a difficult space.
Okay, positive outcomes, things that are good in Africa. For 500
Alex,
Ambassador Carson will travel soon to be part of a delegation
representing the United States at the inauguration of the new
President of Senegal, President Sol. This was a peaceful
transfer
This is so nice. We didn't have to bomb anybody. We just went in
and said, put our guy in, or ill will kick your ass. And this was
so nice. They did exactly what we told them to do at gunpoint
of democratic power. And I salute President watt for
accepting the election, you in the army lady, you can salute
them and stepping aside, and it's an important milestone
stepping aside. For Africa, similarly, although none of us
were very excited, now listen to what she's saying about the, in
essence in quotes junta in Mali, and see this as a setback for a
long tradition of democracy in Mali. We are also incredibly
heartened by echo OSes efforts to mediate and to move back to
democracy in Mali, and support the people of Mali to do so and
do so quickly. Again, a real statement about the growing
strength of regional institutions in Africa.
So if I understood correctly, he's saying it's too bad and we
had a couple people I'd be killed over that but we're
pretty encouraged by it That's what I heard her say
that she's obviously playing the you know, one of the she's the
what the jackal or she or the frontman, the first you got you
guys go in there saying you gotta take some loans from these
guys. You gotta you know, you gotta make Turkmen Yeah, this
agenda and they say, Yeah, we don't want to and then they say
well, you know, maybe you should look at Marley next thing, you
know, somebody's dead.
Her speech, by the way was titled The new decade, colon,
seizing opportunities from a transforming Africa. And the
ECOWAS commission that you mentioned in there, you might
want to take a look at that and put in the show notes. ECOWAS
dot i n t. ECOWAS is the Economic Community of West
African States. It's pretty much the European Union that got the
same kind of building even if you look at their website, and
you know, it's got Cabo Verde a Cote d'Ivoire, Gambia, Ghana,
Guinea, Guinea Bissau, Liberia, Mali, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal,
Sierra Leone, it's our United States of Africa that is being
built right there
was to get the Chinese out. Yeah, we got to remember that we
still have to watch because we have got a clue that Malawi is a
place to watch and she visited there to you. Oh, yeah. Yes, she
did. And she went there to tell them to tell the Malawi's look
you got to take you got to 15 days. You got to you got to work
with the IMF and World Bank who is a quote from her we owe
really good you have to work with the IMF and the World Bank
to put an economic plan in place so as so you can meet your
energy needs.
Got energy all over the place. Drowning in energy.
So apparently this guy this head honcho guy is some President
Bingu wa mirth my thorine Rika I can't pronounce his name
obviously. He's adamant about this. And he's creating a stir
by saying you know, we can take care of our own business but you
know, and there's like, this battle going on this guy is is
gonna be he's gonna be gone. You watch. That's my read.
And what's his name? What's his name again?
President Bing. Do bi N G wha wha whatever that comes from
Bing. Bing Dubois gone is his new Mutharika, Bing, you
walk on bing, bong,
Bing to walk on your mofo. We're taking we're taking all your
oil, your democracy and your babies. And here's Madonna to
smooth it all over. So we feel good about it? Yeah. I think was
Robert leather, one of our producers who sent me this great
clip from the BBC. Just let's stay in Africa for a second.
Let's move up north.
This is gonna send you this article. Yeah, please do.
Yeah, I want to put it in the show notes. Thank you. Alex
Crawford is a reporter for I think sky. And she was the one
who did the interview. Do you recall the the crazy guy who had
Gadhafi his hat?
Oh, yeah. Remember that? Yeah, the hat and there was another
guy with the gold gun. Well, this guy, same guy.
No, I think he had the gold chain in the hat. So she's on
the BBC being interviewed about this the story of her life and
this just shows you because you know, I think we're doing you
know, we're trying to research we read legislation we do we do
the work. You know, we try to bring you some news. Try to
clarify it. So you understand what's what's going on. You
know, we just dissected this Sherman woman, what she's doing
and she's saying it you know, it's very clear. I mean, now,
they don't, I mean, they're, they kind of leave things out.
They subvert information, but they, they Oh, you can pull it
out. You can pull the truth out right?
So she this woman is a reporter. She's so dumb. When you hear her
explain how she fell into the story. It's so obvious that this
is the whole thing was fake. This guy with Qaddafi's hat,
this will crack you up behind
the game, you'll find my way across the town to the port
explained to us about the title. Kind of Gaddafi is hat. That's
quite a significant hat. Well, that's when when we went back in
August, when the when Tripoli finally was reclaimed by the
rebels. We went into the compound as they were breaking
through. And in amongst this absolute chaos, there were sort
of hundreds of people running all over the place rampaging
through their houses, you know, pillaging and firing guns all
over the place out of out of this. Mayhem walks through this,
this young man with wearing a rather splendid and splintered
sort of hat as well as was stolen. And so on. And he kind
of was he was like a sort of figure, you know, you sort of
think, Am I imagining this because he walked out of smoke
and sort of came towards us brandish
you walked out of smoke, like out of nowhere, John, is out of
smoke. Well wait this morning.
I think one of his fly swatters and wearing this big gold
necklace wrapped around his neck. And I thought, I've got to
interview this guy. And unbelievably, he spoke perfect
English.
Unbelievably, I couldn't believe my luck. He walked out smoke,
and he had a hat. And he spoke perfect English. It's
unbelievable. I didn't question this at all.
And he would he just walked up and I said, Well, where did you
get the hat? And he said, I've just been into it and he
couldn't even believers. Oh my god. I've just been into Colonel
Gaddafi his bedroom and have taken his hat. And he delivered
this what I thought was this amazing sort of speech about
now's the time for our country to me had a
whole speech prepared an amazing speech. He walked out of the
smoke. He spoke English. He had a speech prepared come
together, we've got to stop all the fighting. It was like this
sort of Churchillian speech in the middle of this absolute
chaos. How
could it be possible I don't understand.
And he was a real character. But the fantastic piece of I mean, a
very well deserved luck after what you've been through it to
find that the man who wanted the cat and fly SWAT and gold chain
spoke good English. Fantastic moment, it was
a whole series of very fortunate or unfortunate events that
did not for a second does even the toe, do you think it's
possible that this was bullcrap. You How How unbelievable is
imagine some at some some agents. There was a bunch of
guys, they showed this when they when they were having this first
right there was these these guys they were dressed in western
Gibberd dressed kind of like in western gear of some sort, but
they were obviously Western Europeans. And I can just
imagine a couple of you know that are orchestrating this
thing. Oh, that the Oh see her? Yeah, she's the stupid as BBC
reporter in the world she'll believe anything. Oh, then we
should send the What's his, you know, Bill over here with with
the hat and see if he can run run the thing on her. Well,
there's
a tip off. I
bet you five bucks. You buys a bug bites. Lou hook, line and
sinker. I'm on for that bet.
There's something you missed in here, though. And let me see if
I can roll it back to that piece.
Oh my god. I've just been into Colonel Gaddafi his bedroom.
He said, Oh my god. Really? The guy and Olivia?
Yeah. Really?
He said, Oh my god. Oh my god.
Yeah. Oh, my God. She came out and said, O M G.
Lol, LOL OMG. I've got I've got the mofos hat. So if this.
That's so that's what passes his news class would pass as
reporters that believe anything that's well, you know, here's an
interesting clip from the Afghanistan killings, which
confirms what at least one of the rumors going around. And
this is a reporter from the Australia who seems who was
actually a female. That was why we can't seem to get a hold of
any of the people that know anything about the killing. That
took place, right, you know, by that maniac, right. The whole
team were the helicopters roaming around Afghanistan,
having no problem getting access here and there, but she's
reporting just what she sees. And she's not, you know, getting
all all giddy about it play that
desperate for their story to come out.
And what did they tell you? What were some of the specifics of
what they told you happened that night?
There was some horrific accounts, Aaron and I spoke to
one woman who told me how her husband had been shot in the
head and how she dragged him into her house. And she had his
brain in her hands, you know, deeply traumatic sort of stories
that they were telling me He, she also then told me that there
were 15 to 20 Americans standing in her yard, assuring her to get
back inside her house. You know, these are difficult. They're
intense claims that she's making, they don't really match
up to some of the other claims that some of the children told
me. They told me that one American entered their home and
one American shorts of their family members. So there are a
lot of disparities in the stories. It's difficult to know
who saw what and when.
Yeah, let's just ixnay on the lagoon pay and the helicopter a
that was I lying fake?
Your your pig? That sucks.
Yeah. But it's like, Yeah, cuz they didn't match up with the
kids who are traumatized and shot up. You know, and then now
they're saying, Oh, the guy had malaria vaccine, and that can
cause you to go psycho.
Have you heard something very, very suspicious about this whole
situation? Yeah,
it's a cover up, obviously, to cover up.
What there was an assassination of some specific people or some
person. Yeah. What was the deal? There's something very strange
about this.
You think? You think? Yeah, there's no reporting, John. And
of course, if we were there, we'd we'd we'd get the real
news, wouldn't we? You and me together
would know. I'm going to show us Imagine all the people who could
do that. Oh, yeah, that'd be fun.
Oh, Ma, oh my Allah. Oh my Allah.
Oh, that was an odd hook. Keith Edwards, Sir Keith Edwards want

with you all of your buddies here at the greatest podcast in
the universe. The no agenda show
so night, no night no nights. Oh man, I got to sort out.
Well put it shove it back in. Get rid of it. Um, so there was
something I've been saving this. There was something quite
interesting that caught my eye. A report that came out from the
CDC that was all over the news interspersed in between all of
the bull crap about stirring up racism in America. I don't know
if you've seen this report, John. The CDC released a report
that stated that one in 88 children in the United States of
Gitmo nation has autism. Yeah, yeah. And so of course, I'm
like, wow, let me dive into this. And so I have the report.
And all of the fact there's a whole it's under vaccines.
Obviously. There's an Higher listing in the shownotes 396, on
na shownotes.com, which includes the the actual CDC report. And I
noticed something new. And I have some data to back it up.
This is they've changed the definition of, of this disease,
from autism, to the autism spectrum disorder. And this is
very significant. But first, let me bring you the co chair of the
autism a subcommittee. And she has nice little a video talking
about this, this new survey, which by the way, everyone says
we're not sure whether more children have Autism Spectrum
Disorder, or we just have better ways of researching and we're
finding more of them. So it's a little bit of an unfair report
to say, there's more kids than ever that have autism, because
it may just be because all of a sudden, their research improves
somehow and they know what it is, let's just listen to her for
a second. To set us all up physicians
and primary care providers need to be comfortable and reassuring
parents that this is not due to vaccination practice.
All right, I'm sorry, I forgot to mention and none of this, of
course is due to vaccination practice. And physicians need to
be comfortable saying this,
and to help them identify resources in their communities,
for effective treatment, and for the support that they need.
So effective treatment. Now these things are catching my
eye. And let's listen to another little bit of her about
screening and effective treatment
for pediatricians and the primary care providers providing
a medical home. It's, it's really very important to pay
attention to the Academy of Pediatric screening
recommendations, to do a formal screening evaluation for autism
at 18 and 24 months of age, when children fail screening and
referred for a second, more expert diagnosis, either to a
developmental and behavioral pediatrician, child neurologist
or child psychiatrist. It's really very important that
standard diagnostic criteria are used, so that we can best serve
children make the most accurate diagnoses, and refer children
for effective treatment.
Okay, so a couple things here. I have two analyses of this, and
I'll give you the most likely one first, which is just
unbelievable. So what you're hearing her say, is we have to
have across the board, the everyone has to screen for
autism in the exact same way. Now, I look at the definition of
autism. And this is as defined by the Autism Society of
America, I quote as he just said it actually autism is a complex
developmental disability that typically appears during the
first three years of life. And as the result of a neurological
disorder that affects the normal functioning of the brain,
impacting development in the areas of social interaction and
communication skills. both children and adults with autism
typically show difficulties in verbal and nonverbal
communication. But you can't do a CAT scan, you can't take
blood. This is as determined by someone who will sit with your
child, typically between 18 and 24 months, and here are some of
the characteristics they will be looking at. And notice, by the
way that you can fail the autism screening, which I thought was
an astounding use of the word. If you fail, then we have to
move over to effective treatment, which I'll get to in
a moment. So here are some of the things that are most
commonly found characteristics of autism and autism. By the
way, there's something real going on here. I'm not making
light of this, but we know it's not vaccines that's out of the
question. The child is unable to coup by 12 months, the child
does not point or gesture by 12 months does not say single words
by 16 months, does not say two or more words by 24 months and
has lost some of social skills or language abilities. Other
characteristic characteristics include no fear of danger, over
or under sensitivity to pain, may avoid eye contact with you
may prefer to be by him or herself. This is me by the way,
has difficulty expressing what they want or need. They may try
to use gestures may echo words or phrases may say can't
point Can't they get away that was okay going sorry maze make
sense
may spin him or herself. Objects that's kind
of cool place in the 60s Stop kiss stop spinning,
prolong repetitive play may insist on things routines always
being the same. So this sounds like a number of different
things. Yeah, does it? Well, this is very important because
this boils down to the writing at this very moment of the DSM
five. And the DSM five is so we're currently at number four.
DSM five is the it's the book, it's the Bible on mental
disorders. And they have changed something, as I said earlier,
they have changed something. And they are now including all other
symptoms, such as Asperger's, obsessive compulsive disorder,
depression, all these different symptoms, and they're putting it
all into the autistic spectrum diagnosis. And this is very
important. And this comes out in the new year. Because of this,
the drug companies will now be able to market drugs. And this
comes down to the effective treatment, they will be able to
market drugs based upon symptoms of autism spectrum disorder. So
for instance, we already have this with Alzheimer's. So with
Alzheimer's, you can say, well, you know, one of the symptoms of
Alzheimer's is you can't tie your shoelaces. So we have a
drug for tying your shoelaces. So even though you may not
really have autism, necessarily, you may have one of the symptoms
which we already have a drug for, that we can now include as
a drug for autism. Are you with me?
You know, it's Yeah, yeah.
So some of the newer anti psychotic medications, which so
far have been prescribed. What do you call it or not off book
off label? Are?
Right, you explain what off label is to people that don't
know
off label means it was approved by the FDA, the Food and Drug
Administration for treatment of one particular symptom of
something. And they'll say, but you know, you can use this
instead of Viagra because it also works for that. Or, you
know, if you have Aspergers, then this antidepressant, you
can use that for that it's not officially approved for but you
can use it off label for that. So this will now enable the drug
companies to prescribe Risperidone Zyprexa and Gio dawn
for autistic spectrum disorder. And wouldn't you know, that Gio
Dawn has gone generic that Zyprexa has gone generic. So my
obvious conclusion is that this is taking into account that
they're not sure if actually autism and ASD has increased or
they just have better research methods, that this is a
horrible, horrible way to get their out of patent drugs into
the system. With the addition that the American Academy of
Pediatrics is now recommending autism screening for all
children between 18 months and two years old. So you have a
very good chance that the doctor is going to say, kid can't point
kids spinning. Get them on some drugs and these drugs are
antidepressant and put them on drugs. They're psychotic drugs
or psychotropic they're anti science really
make him nuts.
It's really, really an outrage.
That's a total outrageous, ridiculous what's going on? And
it's there's also something wrong with the patent system,
because the idea, of course, is to is to get a patent extension,
of course, or this new use of court. And so this stuff stays
kind of, you know, in patent, which is bullcrap. You know,
it's they when there's something goes generic, for whatever
reason, it's, it's an invention that was very Yeah, it was used
for something specific. But once that molecule is invented in the
process for making it, which is part of the patent, usually,
that gets passed the date, where it goes out of patent, it's not
a patent. I don't care what else it can be used for. It could be
used as a diet pill or opera or, you know, something to relieve
stomach aches, who cares?
But you see, the thing is they can say, well, because your kid
has asked Is it because your kid has his falls within the the
Autistic Spectrum Disorder. Order Now, which includes all
these other symptoms, they can say, well, you know, you need
some antidepressant. 18 months, John, they're gonna put 18 Month
18 month children on antidepressants.
Yeah, I wonder what that's gonna do for the general population
when these people get older now now,
so that is obviously what is happening, I have a little
different opinion, which may sound a little crack potty but
because knowing this thing, well, actually, let me play the
this is very interesting. This was a CNN autism report. And
right at the beginning, it starts off with this kid who has
autism, and he's on his iPad, and you got to see the video.
And he is he's, he's rolling through this thing. He's, he's
incredibly fast. You'd like Rain Man on the iPad. It's also a
little iPad promotion in there. But it's just like, like, I've
never, I mean, I can't use my iPad as effectively and quickly
as this kid and he's like doing stuff. And just listen to all
the different we're the experts, by the way, who who pop up in
this thing are all from an Autism Clinic, commercial
clinic. So you know, and it's Sanjay Gupta, so you know,
something's up but just listen to it.
Frankie Sanders is a ninth grader who loves to play chess
on his iPad, and is trying to pass the test for his driver's
permit. Frankie also has autism. As you may know, that's a
neurodevelopmental disorder that affects language, behavior, and
social skills. Boys make up the vast majority of cases. What you
may not know is that 12 years ago, the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention began to estimate the total number of
cases in the United States. they based it on a count of eight
year old children with autism in select communities. If you look
back in the years 2002 1002, it was about one child, and 150
with autism, two years later, one in 125, then one in 110. And
now the latest report, as of 2008, the last time an estimate
was performed. One in 80 Children has autism. That's a
78% increase just over the last decade. And the question on a
lot of people's minds is why
how much of that increase is a result of better tracking and
how much of it is a result of an actual increase? We still don't
know.
Researchers have discovered many genes linked autism. But in most
cases, genes are only one part of the equation. And genes alone
wouldn't change that fast. In just 10 years. There is
something else that triggers the problem.
We're talking about infections, we're talking about social
conditions, and we're talking about exposures to toxins things
in the environment,
researchers are still looking for answers. But what they do
know is that diagnosing children early is critical. As was the
case with Frankie Sanders.
Franklin was diagnosed when he was 15 months old, he
immediately began to get speech therapy and occupational therapy
and physical therapy, he was placed in a group with kids who
were typically developing
all that hard work is paying off. Frankie is now 15. He
attends a regular high school and plays on the football team.
We can diagnose autism, at two years of age, almost always by
90% of the children by three certainly. And we actually can
diagnose it at 18 months and many children.
But according to this new report, most cases are diagnosed
late after age two or three. That's when therapy has been
shown to help the most, especially with speech and
communication.
Parents need to be aware of their children and how their
children they're interacting.
And then they need to seek help.
If you as a parent are concerned about your child, talk to your
doctor talk to your school system to see if they shouldn't
be assessed get them assessed. This is small this is big keep
going.
Dr. Sanjay Gupta, CNRS
so there Sanjay Gupta pushing you pushing you as a parent to
hey, my kids, we're the kids spin in doing whatever it is. I
love the spinning thing. Yeah. You know, and and what they've
taken, they've taken this poor boy and they forced him into
football, which I think is wrong. And here's what I believe
John, what forced him into
football, ya know, that
physical shit,
I think make him code.
Look, we as you know, bringing up the vaccine thing, which,
interestingly, was not in the report because of course, you
know, that's all fake. That's all false. That's not happening.
That's not true. It can't be anything in the vaccines. By the
way, you should have your child screened for autism, when
they're 18 months after they've received received the first 20
vaccinations. That would be a good time to go and check and
see if they've developed autism. But I'm not a medical expert and
that's, you know, oh, your anti backs or whatever. I think we
are seeing evolution. And I really believe that the children
who are being born now aren't have evolved species are
incredibly smart, have something beyond our comprehension. And we
need to drug the shit out of them because we can't have the
smart kids running around. I really think there's something
going on. That's an interesting
crackpot idea. Now, let me mention something that was that
that's going around a little piece of information, there is a
thing. It's called Flynn's law. Flynn's axiom or something like
that is that every generation, and there's a punch line to
this, every generation that that comes along is it has actually,
technically a higher IQ than the generation that preceded it.
Yes, at core, it's just a common thing if evolution. And now and
obviously it has something to do with it. I do have to mention
one little gotcha. Which is, and this has always been true until
right now when only in one area in get mo nation east. The UK,
the IQ for the first time it that's the only reason the US is
still going up. Went down. Really? Yeah. Whose report is
that? Isn't that interesting? I'm working on getting the
documentation for that JC was telling me about it. Really?
Yeah. And that weird, they got
dumber? Yeah.
Aren't you glad you left? Well, no, it's too late for me.
But you know, there's I'm really thinking that something else is
going on, because they can't find it, the geniuses can't find
so either. They're all really, really horrible people, and they
just want to help sell more antidepressant crap, which I'm
not putting beyond the realm of possibility.
I'm really not I think there's a big deal. I mean, when the
public relations agencies get their act together, they can
really do a lot of damage.
Yeah, yeah. Well, someone really went out on this one on the CDC
website. It's just all about this and autism and, but it's
really it's get your kid screened, get your kids gotta
get them screened. So, to me, it's like, you know, everybody
wins on the on the side of evil, you know, it's like a, we get to
sell them drugs, and we get to suppress them into submission
and be a slave our way, you know, not, you don't get to
choose your hamburger, you know, we're going to put you on these
drugs, you need to play football son. And it's disturbing to me
and I would love to hear from I know, I'm sure just looking at
these percentages, we must have a lot of parents who have kids
who are on the spectrum, as it's called, I've read several books
on the on the topic. Some of the authors that I interviewed for
the big book show, right? Boy, they have kids with autism and
write books about it, and it's called on the spectrum. And most
of them don't don't believe the vaccine story. Yeah, but I you
know, I've I know parents with with autistic kids. And, yeah,
they spin a lot, but they're very entertaining.
Now, that's funny. No, no, I mean
it but there's they're not. Not all kids on the spectrum as
a form of autism, he would be probably drugged today. His
drug? Bill Gates, I don't think so. But I just don't think
drugging is the answer. Drinking is not the answer. By the way
that lower I've got the link, I'll send it to you for the IQ
thing showed up in prospect magazine. Out of the UK,
actually. It says average IQ is falling in Britain and beyond. I
guess there's a few other places too. Intelligence quotients have
written in developed nations for almost a century, that
phenomenon called the Flynn effect was first identified in
1984 in the United States. But apparently it's now reversing in
certain parts of the world. But Britain has found the reversal.
It's also Norway and Denmark are the other two.
And a lot of people are saying, Well, it's because of all the
toxins and mothers are drinking fluoride and all of that. I'm
just not buying it. You know,
about the autism? Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
Just I, yeah. Yeah. I don't know. Perhaps. Well, we don't
know. The thing is, they don't know. And the way they test is
like, the kids spin, they
don't care. They all they're gonna do is they're gonna give
the kids drugs. It's all they're looking for an excuse. I'm, I'm
sorry, I totaled it, buy into the bad aspect of it.
Well, that's okay. I mean, I do too, but I have hope. I have a
hope that these are really just special children who are
geniuses and they're going to, you know, they're if I had to
put my money on the 200 million ninjas, or the autism kids give
me the autism kids any day. That's what I'm saying.
Yeah, well, you're the one that brought the tuner Megan in just
the way they like to do these you know, they like the way they
re define things over and over and and remind you of something
I just read, actually was read. Picked up there's a book by
turvy people might want to look at called criminal profiling.
The book for the book club. Witches were a part of Have the
early days of profiling. And of course you're profiling these
kids do is to assume autism. I want to read from the 1400s how
you would find in determines if someone was a which I think is
quite abused doesn't have
to do with spinning.
No well maybe. I think I think just think about this for a
while and we're you know, since we're wrapping up the show about
what is a witch ready, yeah, just the main main
characteristics and then I have secondary characteristics which
are even more interesting. They have a spot or scar or
birthmark, sometimes on the genitals and sometimes invisible
to the inquisitors. I, they live alone. They keep pets or no
cats. Uh huh. They suffer this suffer symptoms of mental
illness, auditory or visual hallucinations. They cultivate
medicinal herbs. No, they have no children. This is the way
they were used to get rid of spinsters and now here's
specific descriptions. witches have the power to make men
impotent and unable to copulate by looking at them it's what
you're getting a picture here of Yeah, that's a whole lot of
second little sciences in which is you spells images and charms.
Oh, my lucky charms and witches cannot bear children. So this
was you know, so this was all official. This is the same kind
of thing. This is that was
that was DSM one.
This is this is all the mumbo jumbo bold crap used to
propagate some sort of a, a an agenda. Yeah. And this in this
case, it was to get rid of the homely girls that wouldn't screw
anybody I guess in the town. But you know, so this is nothing
new.
But I'm saddened because I see these parents you know, and
John, you're a parent you know, if your kids spinning around and
the doctor says I love that picture by spinning on his head,
like a breakdancer. It'd be
like dancer in the doctor says, oh
my god your kid has has he's on the spectrum. But you know, we
have an effective cure effective cure. We're gonna teach them how
to play football and put them on some drugs.
Yeah, football things a little sick. Yeah, yeah, that's exactly
what doesn't want to play football maybe likes the spin.
Yeah, he's gonna become a great dancer. Great.
Exact Thank you. Now you're talking my language? I think the
another term is indigo children, Star children, indigo children.
everywhere but the UK? Well, I wonder if the if autism isn't is
not as high if autism is different in the UK. They're
just going in retardation. The whole different problem. Anyway,
that's your pharmaceutical industry. Everybody. doping.
Yup. So Do with it as you wish. All we do here is just tried to
pull it all apart and show you what's going on. And
yeah, there's something else that should be mentioned, since
we're talking about medical stuff. Yeah, it was a real
interesting article. It ran around nature and and then I
guess was reported by Reuters, which just really makes you
wonder about any of this stuff. I'm just read a quote. By the
way, The Economist made during a decade as Head of Global cancer
research at Amgen. Glenn Begley identiv. You know about this?
No, but I know 53 landmark publications and top journals
from reputable labs, it turns out, they can't reproduce any of
these cancer things. Because it turned out that the people that
were investing, you know, taking money from people to donate to
cancer research would only give money if you showed something
positive. So if you'd like work your ass off for three years on
a cancer study, and it show up positive found out nothing, you
get no money. Yeah, of course. So we got to have the cure. So
that so all these reports. So apparently 53 landmark reports
are all bogus. Yeah. Oh, really?
53? Do we have a list?
Yeah, he does have a list. She's like she said, the 5347 couldn't
be replicated. So in other words, most of them are bogus.
It was just because of the this is the problem that we have.
Just generally speaking, it's a completely corrupt system. That
can't even get us you know, real information we and we won't
admit it, somebody won't find won't find a report that doesn't
come up with something positive. They got to feel good about
their, their, you know, in their philanthropy.
Well, I'll tell you, man, we've got to be so careful. There was
another report that came out first of all, the IPCC came out
with a new report. Unbelievable. Evidence suggests that climate
change has led to extreme weather conditions such as heat
waves record high temperatures, and in many regions heavy
precipitation. This is the new IPCC, Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Change,
report, stop for a minute. I have to ask a question. Isn't
climate and weather two different things? So aren't
they?
Yeah, well, this is why we have to have an official report to
put that back in. Because that climate is weather climate is
weather, correct? Oh, they've changed it. Yes, climate is
whether you've got it. But then I ran across this news release
from the University of Oregon. And this woman is Carrie Marie
Norgaard, Professor of Sociology and Environmental Studies at the
University of Oh, and she has put out a paper which is
sciences in fact, resistance at individual and societal levels
must be recognized and treated before real action can be taken
to effectively address threats facing the planet from human
caused contributions to climate change. You know what that
means? Don't you?
Yeah, curry DeVore AK town for your pair. Time for you
know anybody saying anything? We must you must obey. You must
obey. No, yeah,
but not just that. I'm looking for it. I don't know what it is.
I always I always missed that one. I'm lame. Hey, but we have
to be treated. That's the worst part. We have to be treated.
Treated means drugs, my friend.
Well, you know, I think you know, Clinton, by the ways I
think he's being treated because he now It played the clip. He
now thinks he's a woman.
What? Yeah, Hillary or Bill, Bill. Now?
How can women like me? Who want to help women in Haiti and other
places across the world? I actually do that all right. All
right. You get it my friend what an idiot.
And he's also at the big meeting of the universities he's just
sitting there guy looks terrible, by the way. Yeah. Play
the other one the other Clinton infects others clip. Oh, God,
this is what you make it oh, wait,
there's more young people and universities and colleges around
the country who do this? In other words, instead of doing
what I do, which is try to bring everybody many peoples who can
hear every year and get them to go home and infect others. In a
positive way.
Was this this thing with John Stuart
there was out that was no no, this is the this is the Clinton
initiative. He has a university meeting every year,
go home and infect somebody bitches out of it. I don't think
I can compete with that.
Oh, wow. He's the dude. He needs help. He needs help. Well, I do
have Senator Saxby Chambliss or Senator sacks. Yes, Saxby
Chambliss from Georgia. And he was on Morning Morning douche
with Milica virgin ski, whatever her name is and Joe, Joe
scabbard, scabbard, Gabbard
and he said something that blew me away about how what has
changed the partisanship of politics doesn't give you gotta
get kicked out.
I think it still works the way the framers intended for it to
work, particularly compared to the house. But the fact of the
matter is, partisanship has gotten worse and worse every
year that I've been there. And, you know, you don't you don't
have folks arguing with each other and then going outside and
having a drink together. Like you used to hear about and we
still hear the stories about
I mean, so it's worse. I mean, we always heard that when Newt
came to power when we came in town, that that was the Great
Divide, but it's worse than it was even in the 90s when we were
in the house.
Yeah, I don't think there's any question but what is worse and I
think one thing that's made it that way is CSPAN, very honestly
all 80 people watching Wow, it sees that. There's a little more
to
it and you got folks on TV and now they instead of doing
political commercials, they they rant and rave during dinnertime,
the East Coast and then at nine o'clock you see the West Coast
guys up there.
Does he really think is he now I know the answer yes, he's
insane. Nobody watches C span but us. Do you think his
constituents
watch and everybody in the household I might add moans and
groans and you're watching on Leave that crap.
Are you watching ugly people again? Yeah, exactly.
Well of course you have to like tape a lot of this stuff and
then watch it in my you know my life nobody else's you
know I've got it on in the studio and then you know if I if
I and it's continuously recording so I can spin
something back if I see it. But most of the time I have to it is
very handy out to say the C span website. You can search the C
span websites Great. Yeah, well, the video players sucks balls,
but you can you can search the transcripts. Those are pretty
good. So you can just go and zip in find some. And also sometimes
you like it stops. Like you're an hour and 20 minutes.
And it Yeah, they have some they have some technical issues. And
I wish they would have mp3 files that you they just
they do but you have to pay for him that you can you can buy
anything they have, but it cost like 20 bucks.
Yeah, that's what I mean. They should just have them available.
Yeah. Wow. Those badges. Yeah. Otherwise you have to you have
to record it and and clip it. Yeah. It's like just
Yeah, yeah. Well, that. Let that be our problem. Because that's
what we
do. So you don't have to confess right?
Are you doing Twitch today? Yeah. Totally yo to get me on
one of these days.
I do that all constantly. And he says no problem.
Yeah, yeah. Okay.
Yeah. I'll play for the Three Stooges movie. Yes. Just a

Okay. Yep. Throw that in. So yeah, we got a new way of
starting a new thing. We're I've turned back to the April Fool's
gag and become a Democrat. I'm not an independent. And we got
this new thing, Romney sucks.org, which is up now and
then you'll type it right in your website we've got and then
he'll type it in. There we go. You'll feel bad about it.
Good. I'm staying awake. I'm not going to take a nap. Excellent.
