Hey you with a slight whistle in the camp.
Adam curry, John C. Dvorak.
Hex there's a June 28 2012 Time for you to get my nation media
assassination episode four to one. This
is no agenda,
avoiding the legal munchies here
at Camp MoPhO. In the capital of the drone Star State is awesome
tea house in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry
and from Northern Silicon Valley where CNN tells me that the
Obama Care was struck down. I'm John C. Dvorak.
Buzzkill.
Now they're saying exactly the opposite. I'm so confused. Well,
they
said it was struck down then they said it was struck up was,
well, I guess they made a mistake.
Because no one really understands the 90 pages. That's
why
because they had the story ready to roll? Pre right? Yes.
In fact, the meds they have, they have your obituary ready.
Yeah.
Everybody's obituaries ready days in advance, especially once
you get past a certain age. You know, mind you don't care about
but you know, the President the Vice President. Everybody, Nora
Ephron, especially celebrities, all celebrities, you can bet
that Lindsay Lohan is obituary, written two or three times can
be written Oh, yeah. So somebody hits your hits the big red
button? And the story goes,
yep. Yeah, so I can't even have an opinion until I've read the
documents. But of course, I had no time this morning. Because,
you know, how can you distill 90 pages of opinion? In like, three
seconds. It's so funny, I was watching in the background, I
had some of the footage on of different news networks. And you
see all these, these news hounds, you know, tripping down
the steps of the Supreme Court to get to their desk to analyze.
I hear it's gonna take a little bit more than that. But what I
understand just from the disinformation that's been given
to me, and I'm sure it'll be we'll really find out I mean,
you know, I love this stuff. Right. government legislation
analyst I can't wait to read. I mean, that to me is porn. Like
90 pages, that's all. My God, it's better than 50. I what I
what I think they're saying about the mandate, which is the
main I guess the one of the main things here is that it's okay,
if it's a tax, but not if it's a forced thing for which you can
go to jail, which I think is kind of the same thing. If you
don't pay your taxes, you go to jail.
Yeah, no, I think that was that's my understanding is that
Roberts, who switch sides on this thing said, you know, he
just redefined it. He says, this is a tax.
That was actually the one thing that they kept remember, we had
those clips, and we were laughing about it, because the
the lawyer arguing for the the upholding this this
constitutional, kept saying tax tax tax, and then I'm not sure
maybe it was Robert, who said, Hey, you keep saying it's a tax,
but it's not supposed to be a tag number. This was the whole
thing that it was kind of hidden there. That, you know, he was
like, well, it's not a tax, but the IRS are the ones who are
going to try to attack. Yeah, so and we kind of call them let me
see if I could find that that. Let me see if I go to search
that any show notes that
yes, aspect of this has been overlooked in the argument. But
Obama just wants to say it's not a tax. So he's, you know,
because he says, No, I'm not gonna raise taxes on the public.
And so he says, What the No, this isn't a tax, it's a it's a
something else. And then this is a fee. And this is a surcharge,
and this is this and that, and it's just still taxes.
Right. But then, you know, I was actually watching CNBC more. And
it looks like stocks went down on all the insurance companies.
Those are the guys who actually why? Well, because they probably
have real analysts. They're looking at real news. Let me see
what the
look at the stock market. Yeah, that was
kind of interesting. I mean, that's where you know, that's
just follow the money if you want the truth,
or it was down a complete percent, but that doesn't mean
anything. I get that that happens for a reason.
And who's on Buffett now? Anyway? Well, we'll have more on
that on Sunday. John, it's so chilly here. In Austin. It's
only 104 I
don't know what to get this summer. You haven't been through
a Texas summer.
I don't know what to do with myself like honey, it's 104 Grab
the blankets.
You know, it's not really I mean, it's it's a it's a you can
live with it. It's for some reason Texas temperatures, it's
not that
bad. Now it's a dry heat. The only problem is the stupid
effing Range Rover. It's made for British climate. And so you
know if you're overheating No, no, no, we took care of that
after the catastrophic water pump failure. But everything in
the Range Rover and this one was 1999 and they were already doing
all this electronics crap. Oh, yeah. You hear people with new
Range Rovers these days. As you know, the chair stopped working
all kinds. I'm gonna hate these cars. Although it was a nice
cruiser coming over from California when it runs, it runs
great. But the air conditioning decides, and I think it's
because it's all based on the relays and actually upgraded the
relay box, you know, so they don't melt away
when it's really hot out the air conditioning doesn't work. Yeah.
It's kind of stupid. Is it like exactly what you don't want to
happen? And Miss Mickey, you know, she sits in traffic, she
travels at weird times. And she she drives a lot, actually. And
she panics and understandably so. And if you're in the car,
and I was like, hey, what do I feel and then you know, the
little book light comes on, which means you have to hook it
up to a computer, something's broken. And then you know, it
becomes 104 in the car, and you're in traffic and you can't
get off the road. It's a little scary. It's a little angsty, to
say the least. So anyway, I don't know what to do. It's a
stupid car,
bringing ice.
I told her don't drive
to stay home or in the backseat and have ice in there. Now I
said,
just don't drive. Just stay home with me. Take care of me. That's
all I need to
know. Don't worry about it. Because it'll probably just 100
Plus, it'll and that part of the country is probably only goes on
for about two or three months. So yeah, it's not going to be
too concerned. It's going to
end and we have a nice little break because we're about two
weeks away from our trip for the wedding and the party in in
Amsterdam. And, and then when we come back, you know, we pretty
much want to go into the fires of Colorado on the Hot Pockets
2009 tour. Although we still don't have a trailer for the
trip. I love how people keep sending the emails like, hey,
trailer for hot pockets, you know, like, oh, cool, you know,
and I immediately go look, and they have it's like a joke
email. It's like, Hey, you could get this little teardrop thing
for only four grand. You know, like the trailer.
I love that teardrop and build it yourself.
Yeah, well, we know, we know, our producers in Ohio built one.
But it's not really what we're
looking at when you're trying you want.
It's not what we're trying to accomplish. And we really need a
trailer. Otherwise, you know, maybe people don't want to see
us maybe they don't care. I don't know.
Maybe not that many of our listeners are into RVing because
they're the ones who don't. But we don't they don't listen to
us. We don't want
an RV. That's the whole thing. We don't want an RV. We want a
trailer. There's plenty of trailers out there. Just need
one in Texas. Anyway, I'm just doing start propagating the news
this Friday. 8pm here in Austin, Texas in what's the name of
there's a bar in the W Hotel. What's the name of it hold
on a second, the bar in the W
and has a name. We're gonna do a meet up. So anyone who's in the
area if you want to come by and have a drink bags,
that's the name and no,
it's not the who? Actually the W here is not douchebaggery
interestingly enough, so that's the first No Yeah, it is people
that really nice. Actually, I have to say let me see the name
of it is trace tango, trace Tango Romeo Alfa Sierra echo.
Trace trace.
What is that? What's What's that? What's the meaning of
this? No
idea. No idea. It's but it's a cool little bar and you
can you're gonna have a meet up in Austin.
Yeah. Yeah. Maybe we spread the word that we need a trailer.
Well, it turns out this like, this guy from Holland is in
town. Todd Cochran, you know the guy who runs a blueberry
blueberry brewing networks.
Now, yeah, he's
from Hawaii. He's in Austin. And he's like, Hey, did you know
that ala had drinks and you know, and we don't want? We
don't want to leave the house. We don't want to go anywhere. We
got better things to do. Like having sex without you people
around. It's like, well, if there's two guys in town, why
don't we just do a meet up? I love Miss Mickey. She's like,
Yeah, great. Let's do a meet up. So they meet up and meet up and
meet up
on Twitter. He'd be also a meet up and a tweet up to meet up I
tweeted
last night I don't think maybe it was too late. For people to
see it in the morning Bobby Eden. She seems to be listening.
Sorry, Bobby Eaton official porn star of the show.
Bobby either Bobby Eaton she's checking
in. Anyway a big news. I think we called it once again,
as surprising toxicology report and that gruesome case of
cannibalism in Florida. The report shows that marijuana was
the only drug found and Rudy Eugene's body. He's the man who
shot and was shot and killed by police as he chewed off the face
of another man threw it off attack was caught on a security
camera had raised speculation that Eugene may have been high
on a drug called bath salts. But today's report ruled that out
and also ruled out alcohol and prescription drugs. Victim
Ronald Papo is recovering and the reason that he did that
gruesome act now is still very much unknown.
Wow, I can't believe it. All the news media were wrong. How was
it possible? They were so sure bath salts bath salts, bath
salts are talking about bath salts. Oh, it's even better.
It's weed. Sure, sure. I listen I can claim to be an expert on
weed. And you know this. I've heard I've heard you get the
munchies and the munchies. But this is this is ridiculous.
Maybe the guy had jam on his face. And she still has just the
guy was down and out anyway, so he probably just ate a peanut
butter sandwich like me with a peanut butter sandwich jelly
sandwich and the guy smelled it and that was the end. Well, no,
but there's there's more. And now we have in Waco, Texas
report. 22 year old man was arrested Monday after a bizarre
episode in which police claimed he tried to eat his family's dog
in a zombie style attack and he was growling at his neighbor
it's just so obvious that this is PR for all the zombie movies
coming out. But at the same time, you know that I think that
we've it'll happen we'll find it it's going to show up any day
now that the government is going to sell legal weed and they're
gonna take care of it and all this and all the homegrown stuff
is gonna be no good it's kind of just look at the supplements
right dietary supplements your basic vitamin C it's been
outlawed. Why? Cuz you gotta get the stuff from from the
government. You got to get it all from the government. So
we'll get weed for sure. It's just you know, we'll we're going
to be getting it from, from from Uncle Sam. His version which
will be expensive and regulated. There's something else this is.
I mean, the pharma industry is just going crazy. Don Lemon. The
guy we love to hate. Yeah, Here's his report.
All right. So listen, I really want you to sit down. You're
sitting down. He really wants you to sit down. Are you sitting
down
and sitting down
because seat and listen to this it could save someone's life. It
could save someone's life you know or love, it is no longer
hiding in the shadows of seedy downtown alleyways. heroine has
a new home.
heroine has a new home. Come on a neighbor,
bringing its highly addictive, oftentimes deadly power to the
white picket tree lined streets of suburbia. Here are just some
facts for you, folks, the average age that kids start
using heroin just before their 15th birthday, and most of them
are white, and more of them prefer to shoot it up than
taking it any other way. Now,
why is this happening? John,
do you have any idea why we have the power of heroin taking over
our white picket fence line streets?
I didn't know this was going on.
Do you have any idea why this is happening?
I mean, the real reason would be you gotta move some of the
products that they're making out of Afghanistan.
Well, yeah. And how do you how do you make one drug more and
more one product more attractive than the other?
You popularize it? Yes. And well go on. Tell me free market.
I'm sorry. Hold on a second. I got to the larger world's
largest Garbage Truck gone past the house. I couldn't hear a
word you said. It's all about
pricing, Joe. It's all about pricing. Check it out.
Why the increase here? It's cheaper than pills. Drug agency,
the crackdown, oxycodone and other pain pills have made pills
way more expensive for users
20 out to market. Exactly.
And we know we have a great crop this year and poppy stomp. We've
got all of our troops protecting the field. So they're so the you
know, it's cheap. It's cheap. Just bring it on in. And it's
uh, you know, and of course, the pharmaceutical industry you see
in this and they're like, Well, you know, we just got to jump on
this one. But ABC, the compromised news organization.
They had pretty much the best commercial I've ever seen. For.
For pills. This was fantastic, revealing how
far we'll go to have it all. mothers and wives juggling all
the demands of work at home with a pill that's being called
mother's new little helper. It has been exploding in popularity
among women in their 20s and 30s. In just eight years,
the number of prescriptions is up 750%
It's a bonanza, what could it be? But as ABC is Dan has
reports using that pill maker at a high price may
not necessarily because we're ABC, you know, we've got the
pharmaceutical industry paying for this report. So it may, but
listen to all the benefits because
they are moms in the shadows all over America drowning in their
daily responsibilities.
I'm a single mom, three reactive imagination. The juggler was the
children and
we received a wave of anonymous voicemails and emails from a
hidden underworld of mothers who have found what they say is a
secret way to do it all.
I love the hidden underworld of mothers. Can I get in that club?
Mom?
Adderall, Adderall, and these women don't have ADHD. They say
they need Adderall simply to be better mothers. Now this is
Oh, that's terrible.
This is what what of course I discovered when I when I tried
one of these I mean, it's I've never done anything other than
weed. And I've had a Vikrant in after the
aspirin one Yeah. A Tylenol but I've never let me think vitamin
C. Add dive also what take a vitamin B. Only what they didn't
take a pill. So it gave me the bar.
Dude once i o de donde I Odede. But you know, so once I took one
of these, one of these pills, and we talked about it on the
show, I was tripping out for like six hours and like, This
must be it was Ritalin. You took no no, it was Adderall. Vyvanse
was it's all the same thing. I was tripping out for like, for
six hours. And I was like, if that's the pill. Just totally
wired did.
We persuaded one of these moms to step out of the shadows, her
name this scene degree.
By the way, chat room. Shut up. We don't talk about Supreme
Court decision before we've read the frickin decision. Go watch
CNN go away to Bourbon Minneapolis.
I grew up in a house where my mom was very neat. And
everything was really clean and you know, beautiful dinners
every night. And that didn't come naturally for me. No,
I needed some
coke. Several years ago, one of Betty's children was prescribed
Adderall for ADHD, and no question. In a moment of
desperation, she stole a pill from her own child. And she says
it worked.
I was able to work of course it works stuff done around the
house. I was able to but here
comes the commercial. This is the interesting part of this
report.
You know, commercial what? Already a criminal justice. She
took the pill she got all this work done. Wait, it gets better
and
have everything perfect? Did it make you feel like Superman?
You said that you would go from eight undoable loads of laundry
to
get staying up till 3am I'm already there, baby. All done.
She says she thought she'd only take it once.
I couldn't stop. I could not stop taking them. I would just
be like, Okay, I'm just gonna do it one more time. One more
time. When she ran out. She had to trick the family doctor into
writing more prescriptions,
I would call and say we lost him. I would use this as the
guide. call and say that dose isn't right. You were trying
every trick in the book, every trick in the book. In fact, this
need
for trickery has given rise to a whole online ecosystem. Check
this out. If you go to Yahoo and type in the words are you
following along mom's? How do I get my doctor to prescribe
Adderall? You will literally get 10s of millions of results.
Joanie gamble, a registered nurse started taking Adderall
after finding a book that told her how to lie to her doctor.
It's on Amazon to get the drug. It's on my Kindle.
Your life becomes a squirrel just looking for that nut.
Water commercial break. By the way, I interviewed the most ADHD
guy in the world yesterday for the big book show. Yeah. Joe
Pantoliano? Yeah, who he is. No, he's a very famous actor. He was
cipher in the matrix. He He's bald head beard. He was
recognized and if I saw Yeah, oh, yeah. So he wrote this book
called asylum. And it's all about his ADHD and his acting
career. I can't wait to get it. I gotta edit that
zoned out when he was talking to you.
He was completely ADHD. It was hilarious. bored stiff. No, he
was just he's just jumping from left to right. It was it was the
wackiest interview I've ever done. He wasn't the Soprano's
guys,
that could Joey Palin. Now I have to see what it looks like.
Again, Pong.
Talia. No Pantel Jana. Yeah, as that's Italian for pants. pon
pon italiano. Joe Pantoliano, Joe, Joe. Joe. Joe Pantoliano.
Oh that guy Yeah, that guy. Yeah, yeah, he's famous. Yeah.
It was great. And he's the
guy who said war. Oh, yeah. And it's not just a war
so he wasn't on Skype and you know, and then my buddy in LA
who books all this stuff he gives me his home number so I
call him up. And he's like, Hey, Adam is like you know, I can't
this internet is I don't know 60 But he's like I got rid of cable
I hated the evil crap you know only only got internet here and
then now doesn't work and my iPad and I am so confused. And
then he's calling his daughter's Melanie malady Bella to get over
here. I'm breaking legs, like I'm living this guy's life is
hilarious. took an hour and a half to get him up and running.
Anyway, that's coming all the part of our extra service here

sea boots on the ground subs in the water and feet, washing
ashore and of course,
all of our human resources in our chat room, who apparently
are more interested. Go watch CNN, you want to know about? You
know, I
don't think that there's a discussion worth having
no, it's Well, first of all, is not until the government even
interesting, who cares the government legislation analyst
needs to read and then we'll see if there's something to talk
about after some
men are interesting, but right now all I see is just a bill
that's already been passed. It's already been put into play. And
the Supreme Court said it's okay to continue on your merry way.
So what Yeah, exactly. I mean, there's good crap going on all
over the world. And we're gonna talk about some you know,
Supreme Court decision how do you think this show wins? Do we
want to just go and right down the toilet, don't

awesome. May be a good shitted at UVA basketball. What is this?
Hold on a second?
I think he was high on bath salts when he donated and
donations are
getting a bit old. So I figured a donation on bath salts might
be a good change of pace. John, do you have a basketball addict
voice? Baby. This could be it right here? I don't think so.
No. You could conjure up No, it's precisely 312 In the
morning I've ingested large quantities of basketballs. I

seem to be a place where people like to connect with each other.
And we got a new offer in here. No agenda guns.com

show two to reiterate what we talked about right at the
beginning of this show as article here in The Economist.
From April, the United Nations is public this year's fork Yeah.
As for the Afghan opium crop in the news is not good. Well,
spite all the efforts to reduce cultivation, it looks likely to
rise again.
How can it be? I don't understand. I mean, he was a
coincidence. You put all of those troops near the fields,
and they just grow and grow and grow. I don't get it. How was it
possible? I mean, you don't think this would be shipped in
on an army aircraft or anything to you, John, that couldn't be
possible.
The peak the peak is still lower, is still lower than the
absolute peak, which is 2007. So we should look into the what was
going on in 2007. That was Bush's last year, VA retirement
fund. Hey,
let's kick it off here with another installment of we saw.
We're gonna go back to the soccer games.
No, we suck. No, we're gonna get that in a second. So on the
previous episode, a lot of people picked up on this
jingle for we suck. So someone will check. So this is the main
culprits. every news organization does this. Of
course, New York Times has new all the time. And CNN had to do
it this morning, when they wrongly reported that the
Supreme Court struck down Obamacare, but we're actually
proud of it. Yeah, why not? Yeah, we're proud because, you
know, shows you that people are actually paying attention. So we
played, we played a clip. Let me see if I can bring up this clip
here of Kofi Annan. And you thought and I agreed with you
that he was talking about sovereign population,
it is time for countries of influence, to raise the level of
pressure on the parties on the ground, and to persuade them
that it is in the interest to stop the killings, and start
talking. When I briefed the Security Council last time,
actually, earlier this month. I said, as we move forward, we
should keep our goals firmly in view, to stop the killing,
helped the suffering population,
right. A lot of people said, Hey, he didn't say sovereign
population. He said, suffering population. What? Yeah. And I
went back, and I've listened to it four times now. And I think
they're right. I think it's suffering population, not
sovereign. You want to hear it again. Just that little bit
there. Yeah,
we should keep our goals firmly in view, to stop the killing,
help the suffering population
suffering. This is Arang Yeah, it's just the way he talks,
suffering. succotash. Yeah, that was the comment. I got a lot. So
we saw
Well, I still liked the term,
I think, yeah, we just keep we're just gonna use it,
sovereign population. Now, kind of in the in the WESA category,
or specifically, I suck at this just this just goes to show how
little we know about professional sports, certainly,
their Foosball in this case, because I was saying, you know,
it's going to be Germany against Italy, that technically is not
even possible. Because because they're in the same group. And
so you made a blunder? Well, the way it turns out, they actually
are playing today. And this is for the semi finals yesterday,
we had Portugal against Spain. Right. And, and I just want to
point out for people who are new to the program for Euro 2012, we
know you have a crap about the game. And we just want to, we
believe that the all these professional sports are rigged.
And in the past, it has always been the country that needed the
biggest boost economically, and culturally, and just
psychologically, psychologically, would be the
winner. And we've been very accurate in calling this now
this year. It's interesting in Europe, because we know all the
money's in Germany. Ms. Mickey, who's joined in on this believes
that Germany will win just to prove the point and you know,
and to start World War Three of us yeah, by the way, you notice
that the pigs are all in the Final Four. So we've got if you
substitute Ireland for Italy, it's Portugal. These words apply
for Germany, no, Portugal, P. IGS. Portugal, Italy, Germany,
Spain, Greece, is G. More depends on what you want it to
be. And the pigs Yeah, but the Germans are now new pigs. And
they're not
really bull crap. Yeah, you're right.
But But here's what I'm saying. It's over no matter what.
Because we know now that Italy is teetering on the brink. You
know, they they need the seventh largest economy in the world. So
if they go then the whole world goes down. So today, Greece
against Italy, Germany against it doesn't matter. Who wins
because if Greece loses today, then we have Spain versus Italy
in the finals. So in either one of those countries is going to
be very unhappy. If Germany wins, and they beat whoever, you
know, either Italy or Spain, the world's gonna know Now
hold on a second there is Germany versus Italy. So that
match is going to pick the one of those two against Spain,
right? Yeah,
but if if Germany loses and you get Italy versus Spain, then it
doesn't matter either. Because whoever loses is gonna bring it.
Imagine the Spaniards when they lose, they're gonna freak out.
I'm telling you, I've said it all along, Spain's gonna win the
whole thing again.
No, no,
I'm still you're still sticking with Italy.
You're sticking with Spain. I'm with Italy. Miss Mickey's with
Germany. She's a nihilist. And this is the funny thing.
Well, I know she's got the most cynical perspective. That's
what's funny.
You know where this is not Mickey. She's always like, I
think
you've corrupted the woman. You think it's about time.
Anyway. Anyway, there's a funny report in Spiegel Online. It's
about time. If the Germans win today, the finals is going to be
held in Kyiv. And I'd be very uncomfortable for Angela Merkel
to go there knowing of course that Julia T machine Tymoshenko
is still in jail. To politically it would be very bad
for her to show up. Okay, within the Germans have to lose that
match. See what
I'm saying? So I think it's Italy. You think it's Spain? I
think we're gonna see the Battle of the bozos Italy versus Spain.
And then by the way, we're not I mean, it was so obvious this was
rigged. So you have this game, Portugal versus Spain. And they
play they play the shots
Ronaldo was taking.
He missed them. They were up by a mile and but then at the end,
he thought these guys were good. It wasn't like anyone was
hanging off of his back, punching him in the head.
My grandmother could have made that shot, I tell you. But at
the end, they go into the penalty kicks in the coach
doesn't even put Ronaldo in there. Come on. Yeah. What was
that
all about?
rigged? It's rigged. And then there was a confusion. One guy
wanted to go and then the other guy showed up and was like,
What? No, that was a total psych job. Now, so obviously rigged,
people people always get into huge art. Don't email me. I'm
not gonna reply.
So anyway, I'm excited to face the reality of these things
being rigged.
I'm excited. I'm excited about it. So Germany can't win. We see
that now. Because you know, can you imagine Merkel going to Kyiv
that's not that's politically bad. And I just think Italy is
the one you know, the we had Mario Monti come out and say if
we don't get euro bonds, I'm gonna quit. I'm gonna take my
bucket and go home.
I don't think I think it's gonna have to be spending and they're
the ones that are get the teetering on the brink of civil
war.
But in the rest of Euro land, it's beautiful. We've got great
stuff going on. Here's a report Baron Vaughn Pels. mocker sent
me who he sends his regards, by the way, headline in the Belgian
newspaper. It's better living in Ethiopia than in Belgium. Wow.
According to the Happy Planet Index, the British new economy,
Economics Foundation has determined that the standard of
living in Ethiopia is better than Belgium.
This is bullcrap. Well, it's a bunch of stories about basically
murdering people in Ethiopia. Ethiopia is now and who comes up
with this stuff and why what was the point?
You don't want to make milk to suppress to make the slaves even
more depressed to sell Adderall? I don't know. But the one that
got me this was a great report. It is so bad in the EU. That
these are the reports on the on the on the BBC
baby crib the sign says pointing the way to a journey no mother
wants to take in a Berlin suburb, there's a path for
desperate mothers unable to cope with their newborn babies. This
is the baby box inside warmth and comfort. And in this
specialist unit, a new life with adoption. baby hatches aren't a
new idea. Medieval cathedrals like this one in Italy had
windows specially built so mothers could pass their babies
through for adoption. foundling wheels they were called. Now
they're making a comeback. They're making a comeback.
The baby box is literally it's like a little oven. And you just
yeah, he's like you get the kid and like, we can't afford this.
Sorry, honey. It's alright, I'll take it to the baby box. Doo doo
doo doo doo doo doo put it in the baby box, which apparently
is not new.
Now it's pretty sounds like a European standard for I'd like
to say, Oh my goodness. It goes to donations. Yeah. All right.
Well talking about lousy donations. You know, I figured
one of our I don't want to you know, one of the things about
marketing you always want to do is you don't want to target a
loser you know, a lot of people have a couple products and one
selling like hotcakes and one's not selling but but for some
reason the CEO is the head of them they think it's it should
be selling so they put all their resources on the dog and I've
seen this happen in publishing quite a bit but it's a very bad
idea because you want your publishing company will have a
cash cow making tons of money and then they start draining the
cash cow to put it towards other product projects that are dogs.
I could I can in my memoirs I'll name names on that particular
thing. So but so I figured I want to put a lot of effort in
trying to get donors from India
Wait a minute you're not you're not actually trying that are
Yeah,
so but I'm gonna do I think we should do one thing we never
tried to do with India, which is do real news.
Oh, you want I mean, real India, okay.
There's a couple of there's this hot woman I can't remember if I
can pronounce her first name Chopra as her last name. She
didn't she just she's absolutely you should look her up. She's
absolutely gorgeous. She's a little glib typical of an Indian
actress. And this guy Kapoor who I guess she was dating or
sometime now they they've just done a movie together where
there's it's all about reincarnation they had all these
you know, they were lovers that in in different eras. And here's
the Bollywood news report right from the from one of the Indian
TV stations.
In tech hub, Bangalore, the door shed that expectations from the
film, which open to warm response at the box office.
Chopra, who was rumored to be dating couple sometime back said
she could not get a better film to make a comeback with a co
star.
I'm glad it was with America and I'm glad I was shy because I've
always admired him tremendously as an actor. And it's always
great to work with somebody who gives you that kind of you know
competitive space in a scene that you you feel like you can
do better work because they're doing such great work. So yeah,
it was it's great to be back doing a love story. I've not
done love story in a really long time.
Holy cow have a go. He just didn't have any idea. Somebody
leaves you guys dunya man does
DD MIDI Kahani which also stars but you decide Neha Sharma and
Rajesh Hill G highlights the idea of soulmates suns
Bollywood's favorite theme of the Incarnation power what
a great plot.
So I figured this is just very similar to the one time we were
doing rundowns of Sumo wrestling. That workout to get
some new audience members in this I'm hoping that the Indians
that listen to this show respond positively with donation, I
think her
name is Priyanka. That's the one you're talking about
for Yonka Chopra.
Yeah, she is gorgeous. Energy. And let me just see. Does she
have a hike listed on our wiki page? Of course not. I wouldn't
expect that she is very, very pretty. Oh, yes. Height five
foot seven. Hey.
Why isn't everybody have their height listed?
I don't know. five foot seven.
But your height
517.
So somebody should put that in the in your wiki page. I'm six
one. They should put that on my wiki page. I
know you're 513 That's funnier man.
So there he is. Yeah,
well, whenever I say it was totally you anyway, man. 517
they go they can't figure it out.
Idiots. So lower on the real the real Oh,
no, no, please don't hurt me anymore. You can't.
I'll go do it later. All right. Thank you. In fact, I tell you
what, instead of doing it, I have this clip that would be
great for the end of the show. I'll explain about our lab
later. The Abram
off clip. Yeah, yeah, good because that ties right into
some of the stuff I've been researching. I don't want to do
that just yet though. Let me see what is the here's So with all
this. All this bullcrap news going on. And of course we today
we have the the contempt of Congress vote against the
Attorney General Eric Holder here in the United States of
Gitmo nation, which probably will not get a lot of play
because of the health care ruling. And by the way, you
know, what is a contempt of Congress? Like, don't do that
anymore. You know, you're not gonna go to jail. You know,
there was an executive order that came out.
They could go to jail, but they're not going to
the President released an executive order, Executive Order
Number 13085. For blocking property of the government of
the Russian Federation, relating to the disposition of highly
enriched uranium, extracted from nuclear weapons. And so this is
one of those things where we steal their money. And it's and
by the way, this is a national emergency has been declared. And
I haven't heard anyone talk about this at all just kind of
popped up on the call was released yesterday or end of day
Tuesday. And what the President is saying here, or what someone
wrote for him, is this is concerning the rest of the
Russian Federation concerning the disposition of highly
enriched uranium extracted from nuclear weapons. This is an
agreement we have with the Russians going back to 1993,
known as the H. E eu agreements, the HEU agreements provide for
the conversion of approximately 500 metric tons of highly
enriched uranium contained in Russian nuclear weapons into low
enriched uranium for use as fuel in commercial nuclear reactors.
in furtherance of art, national security goals, all heads of the
department and agencies, the United States government shall
continue to take all appropriate measures within their authority
to further the full implementation of the H E you
agreements. But apparently, the Russians are not doing this. And
I think that there's some worry that they are taking this highly
enriched uranium and probably going to supply it to Iran. I
guess that's what this is about. Because it is seen as a hero to
a hero. Restaurant race continues to constitute an
unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and
foreign policy of the United States. And I hereby declare a
national emergency to deal with that threat. I think a national
emergency is new news worthy.
Yeah, I'd say so it would be top of the news if you ask me.
But it's but not Not a peep. And so basically, any money that is
in the US, which might be related to the high enriched
uranium projects of the government of the Russian
Federation, is hereby frozen Secretary of Treasury can block
payments, take away your money and put your baby in the baby
box. I don't know. It's there's definitely a stuff going on with
with Russia. That is not being covered. And I think it must be
related to Iran.
Oh, yeah. Well, yeah, probably. Are you eating something? A hard
candy. I'm just doing from my throat. So don't start coughing.
Okay. Yeah, I had a little bout of that myself. A lot of follow
up from from banking sis admins who are producers of this
program, actually a very, a varying range of answers to the
big NatWest, Royal Bank of Scotland. problem where, you
know, now we're a week on, and they still are having some some
issues with people getting their money or doing certain
transactions. Here's the the douche, the spokes Hall,
actually, I think he's the CEO of the Royal Bank of Scotland.
In simple terms, there was a software change, which didn't go
right. And although that itself was put right quickly, there
then was a big backlog of things that had to be reprocessed in
sequence. And that got on top of our technical teams, which is
why on Thursday and Friday, customers experienced difficulty
which were well on the way to fixing but we'll still have some
tail.
Now the explanation he's giving is consistent with what I saw.
And I had a company we did some work for the banking sector in
the mid 90s. You know, this is what this is like? Well,
literally, we had windows 95 doesn't give you any idea of of
how long ago this was in technical terms, right. And
there were a big legacy systems and we had something product
batch processes that would run overnight, or something called
settlement. And the systems would be crunching all these
numbers, make sure all the accounts everything was
straightened out, not just internally but with other banks.
But that was 1995. And I've got some sysadmin saying, yeah, no,
this is what happens. And then if something goes wrong, then
you know, it starts the backup and then it gets well this is
exactly listen to the theory that this President is saying.
So that's broadly what happened. And it's like, I didn't know the
lending path at Heathrow or something. Once you get out of
sequence. It takes a time to get back into sequence even if the
original fault is put right. Yeah.
But you know, even Heathrow shakes that out and 24 hours. So
they're still not completely stable. And I but I've gotten
also some other some other emails from some of our uh
banking sis admins and say that you know that's total bull crap
first of all this happened on a Tuesday afternoon yeah who
doesn't upgrade on a Tuesday afternoon? You know they
really that's like over the weekend usually Saturday or
Sunday night. Yeah.
Did you just go all helium on me? No Did I know you didn't
know? Don't worry about it.
Not at all. Okay. Hey, everybody, this is John C.
Dvorak on helium.
We haven't done this in a while. Skype at work. I love it
perfect. Hi
technology doing its thing.
Your jingle for us.
Oh, shut up slave. Or do it again it cut out. Oh, shut up
slave. Anyway, I still sounded like this or they die. No, no,
you're
fine. Don't worry about it. So boot. No, just keep it as it is.
I love it so ridiculous.
Sounds like what you think
sounds perfect. This is the way to you. This is the way it
should always be. It makes so much sense to me. BBB BBB BBB?
I'll call you back and fix that was pretty funny
Okay, now Yeah, perfect. Anyway, so yeah, so I think for more
modern bank sis admins check this in? No, no, no, we have
gold star systems. You have a system in a data center that
writes all the data live to disk, then D stage the tape,
those individual components are all duplicated to remain
resilient to failure. Data is also being written in real time
to another datacenter elsewhere in the country connected by huge
bandwidth dedicated fiber legs. Says it just does not seem
possible. Would you hang up? hang ups. Good. No, that's even
worse. Now you're aiming on me. Hey, there. Okay. I think so.
Hello? John. John. Hey. Holy moly. We haven't had this
problem for a while. Once going on, I had regular bandwidth. On
my end, and oh hello. I can't hear. Yeah, something's wrong on
your end, man. Can you hear me? Wow. Hello.
I know what we'll do is there's one way to get him to play the
slide whistle
told you it would work. You there. Wow. How long has it been
since we've had this problem? Oh.
There you go. Can you hear me Josh? And hook anything? Can you
hear me? He's helium again.
Testing us. Good. Hello. Hello. SHAN if you can
hear me, I can hear you. Me
turn off Skype.
I'm gonna pause the recording for a moment. You sound awesome.
By the way. I'm sure you. So maybe you have to reboot your
router or something because you got a real problem.
Yeah, that's a thought. Okay. Let's take a break. Okay.
Let's take a break. We'll be right back, folks. We'll be
right. We'll be right back, folks. You missed an amazing
little intermezzo there.
Yes, I was busy.
And I didn't record for the show. That was a no agenda
stream exclusive. I jammed with Ringo Starr. Huh? There? Yes.
Ringo. Ringo was here. Yeah. You're 16 You're beautiful in
your mind. And I played along on my slide whistle. Okay, so
you're back. We were talking about the banking that this this
basically is you still there? Yeah. Yeah. This really feels
like a bunch of bullcrap. And, but there's more. There's more
things going on. And it's really weird. In the financial sector,
for instance, more and more you're seeing, and I don't know
if this is a function of the merchants or the banks, but
you're seeing ATMs not working. I've had this happen even in
Austin. The credit card swipers aren't working. I think there's,
there's two things. One, I really believe that must have
been some kind of real issue that is not as simple as this
Royal Bank of Scotland or NASA not Westar explaining, it could
easily been, you know, like it had some financial issue. I
don't know. I mean, what what a way to keep the money for a
couple days, but not handing it out. But also I see a lot of
people no longer accepting credit cards, or debit cards.
They just want cash. And I think we're going into exile seen any
of this? Wow. I see. I hear about it everywhere. Well, of
course in Spain, you can't even eat in the restaurant anywhere
without paying cash. So a couple things could be happening. One
people just want cash, which makes total sense. Another thing
is credit card terminals aren't working. And I have seen this
you don't have this at all. Do you? Do you get out? Do you
shop?
I was out of the house last month. Yeah, I get out of the
house. I shop all the time. And I use debit and credit cards
constantly. In fact, just yesterday I was at two or three
stores and swiped no problem.
I've seen problems here. I don't know. I don't know. Bless you.
Of course. Big news. Not really big news. Not really.
Fucking big news not really discussed here is this scandal
with Barclays on the LIBOR, the London Interbank overnight rate,
can we following this? No. Oh my goodness. So they got fined like
almost three quarters of a billion dollars because they
were manipulating the Libor Interest rate. And in fact, I
saw the all the bank stocks were way down in the UK today. So you
know, the London Interbank overnight rate is essentially
what the what the banks will pay in, in interest percentage
points, and it goes down two basis points, which is a 100th
of a percent for keeping money overnight amongst each other.
And these guys were scamming there were there was literally
like, like office spaces where they were just scamming but this
is trillions of dollars at the end of the day. And and what's
what's worse is you know, these guys get fined I guess they had
to pay a half a billion dollars to our government who Lord knows
where that goes. And then I think $100 million total a
little over $100 million to the UK Government. But this this has
hurt everyone because your your mortgage rate your car loan,
your credit card, all of that is based on LIBOR, isn't it
originally,
but depends on whether it's flexible rate or not. Everyone
has a flexible rate John, who has a fixed rate Come on?
There's no I've never seen a car loan that was ever flexible.
They're all fixed.
APR isn't it? Isn't that what flexible is?
No no, that just refers to the interest rate over a period of a
specific period of time right but that's all ultimately based
on that but once you sign the bill once you sign you're done
that's it you're stuck with that right but when you buy a car
when you buy a house yeah, you can get a flexible rate. Yeah,
but that was up and down and up and down, but it's generally so
low right, that rate was also determined ultimately buy LIBOR
that's not my understanding. Okay, well that's the way I
because the way I understand the way the banks really make money
is the spread between the LIBOR and then what they can cheat the
slaves out of.
Yeah, but it's again with a flexible rate loan on a house it
doesn't kick in for like 3456 months after it goes up. They
just can't fluctuate on the yard like your bill changes every
month whoa well so it would be caught by them isn't that
exactly that they set it up that way so the scam doesn't take
place?
Wasn't that exactly what happened with the housing crisis
everyone we're like Whoa, now I gotta pay a lot more
nose but they could took out loans that debt gave them
balloon payments that's what really caused that they took
they bought a house for for a low monthly payment with it was
like after five years it was gonna blossom into some huge
payment. They did it on speculation thing you out. Don't
worry about it. In five years, I'll sell the place and make a
fortune or refinance. The house price goes down. Now they got
this huge balloon payment. Okay, so no, it's not. That's not it's
really not it. Okay. It's wrong.
I suck. No, you
don't suck. Well, maybe you do. But it's I don't think that
there's something else going on. Well,
did you read that Matt Taibbi Rolling Stone article about? No,
I you haven't read that. Oh, wow.
That one Do you say summarize?
Okay, it's a very long article, here's how he, so the headline
was kind of like, the bankers are using mafia tactics, with
the price fixing in order to skin, hundreds of if not
trillions of the hundreds of billions, if not trillions of
dollars, here's how it works. So the bank will help you put up a
bond, let's say you're a municipality, and you want to
build a new school. So let's say that's $50 million, and they
will help you put up a bond. And then that money sits in an
account, because they're not going to use all $50,050,000,000
immediately. So then they call up a broker, a guy in the
middle, and the broker is supposed to go out and find
different banks, who will give them an interest rate on that,
but that, but that part of the process was fixed. And they had,
you know, they have all these, like, hundreds of hours of tapes
of bankers, you know, using code like, Hey, man, you're dying,
you're a nickel, short, whatever. So instead of, they
were basically divvying up all of these, all of these interest
rates on on putting, you know, giving the municipalities money
to a bank, and it would be the difference between 5% or 5.4%.
And then, so the municipality would get 5% instead of the
5.4%. And then the banker, the middleman, he would get the
point 4% In a kickback in the form of a swap someday later on,
which was also known as the big lunch so that all these code
words. So the argument here, which is very interesting, is
that it was free market because they were still getting, you
know, 5% and that's what the market would bear. But of
course, on the other hand, the municipalities, you know,
hospitals, schools, you know, old people, grandmothers, etc,
we're getting screwed out of out of money that these guys are
putting in their pocket, which is kind of the way banking
works. But then there's also some corruption involved with
people taking money and giving it to political campaigns. So
that mayor would then choose this bank, I mean, the whole
thing, if you read through it, it's a little bit of a read, but
it's pretty disturbing. Just you know, how stupid we are that
we're sitting in front of stupid podcast talking on Skype, we
could make be making million just by chatting on the phone
cheating people
is Matt Taibbi, his next article will be about how some lawyers
are crooked.
Yeah. But you get the general idea.
Yeah. Well, this isn't I don't know how anyone could be stunned
by this. Well,
no one cares. The story went nowhere.
Right. Nowhere. So so we're getting I've gotten one call
from Gallup. About Bank of America. It was a bet you could
tell you know, it's a Gallup poll about their I don't think
it was a poll. It was research about what I thought about the
Bank of America since I had an account there once. And so a
couple months go by so JC buzzkill Jr, got a call on his
cell phone? Because he has a Bank of America account. And
he's done. I we talked about it afterwards. And it's turns out
the concerns have changed a bit. Oh, apparently, the banks,
American banks, or at least the Bank of America, are freaked out
by the Occupy movement. And specifically, the demands of the
Occupy movement of its members to drop all their bank accounts
and go to credit unions. Right. The question seemed to be are
you going to do that? Are you sympathetic to occupy? Are you
you know, there was a lot of those types of questions where
they're trying to figure out how dangerous the dollars the
bankers are trying to figure out how actually dangerous or not
dangerous these occupiers are with some of these, you know,
threats or,
well, maybe they're just trying to hedge their their business to
find out if they should, like, close your account on you. So
they called him because he has an account, presumably, and they
want to know, you know, are you a risk? Are you going to take
your money out?
I'm always like, reminded to something you might see in the
sopranos with his guys are asking questions in the gangster
grabs the microphone says John needs you on the other end? I
know we're gonna go kill you. You Goomba I always worry about
that. I don't think so. I think they're just trying to figure
out I'm thinking the Bank of America start buying credit
unions. There's no reason a bank can Oh, nice.
Was there Yeah. But you know, that kind of ruins the whole
idea of it being a credit union and people gonna know. Yeah.
Meanwhile, the central bankers it was a this has gotten some
play virality speaking on the interwebs This is a little
discussion on MSNBC. About central banks. These are a bunch
of investment guys. banksters the guy who was leading the show
asking the questions is pretty funny guy pretty effeminate with
with a bow tie which kind of makes credibility hard, like,
like Bill Nye the Science Guy asking the questions, but the
question was good and valid and what came back was probably
true. A lot of risks out here.
If the if the ECB does not come with a big bazooka that may be
an even bigger risk. So I think investors need to be very
cautious in here. Does it seem to
you John Batchelor that the ECB and all the European ministers,
mostly what they do is hold summits?
I think that right now the question is, do we all work for
central bankers? That's what I want to address to our guests
tonight. Is this global governance at last? Is it one
world the central bankers in charge? Jim, Jim Iorio, you say
we got some downside here?
I love this. This is one world This isn't new world order
central bankers Rula said last June
correction in the markets fine. But aren't we all just living
and dying for what the central banks do? Aren't we all just
counting on the fact that there's a Bernanke pot foot and
that we won't go any lower than say 5%? down from here?
Of course we are. Because if we look at the economic data,
there's nothing to get excited about in that. So we Yesterday
we saw some reluctance for the Bernanke fed to expand their
balance sheets and pump more money and but the stock market
knows that reluctance is totally different than not willing to do
it at all. And that's why we saw oil and oil implode and gold
trade off heavily because they're not a protected class if
the stock market starts trading off in the 10 to 15 to 20% area
of the chairman's gonna come in and throw some steel inside of
so to answer your question, we are absolutely slaves to Central
Bank's because we'd love to be slaves to the economy. But the
economic numbers continue to do nothing but trend lower.
We're slaves to the central bank's
brother.
These guys are talking about it.
Yeah, that means we gotta be talking about something else.
I thought it was interesting that they actually pull up
global governance. And that's what's happening.
Yeah. Yeah. Well, the global governance thing is what there
was a couple of clips I've been listening to all these European
and Middle Eastern stations is last week. And there's some
interesting analysis going on. One of the stations that is
quite interesting is Cat scent sank. France 24. Was our van cat
battery. The N cat, man, cat, cat when I say? I don't know. It
was ridiculous. And there was a couple of interesting points.
Where's this? Great, it's not on here. Good job. Ah, this is the
right list.
I don't know what's the name of the clip? Man?
Lots of good question. And we're gonna delete this 13 of them.
It's not a good questions. Oh, this sucks. Oh, here it is. rant
about the euro. This is a is a van cat panel, every every TV
news thing has have a panel of you know, they're hot panel. And
there's this guy, some progressive and he's, he's in
French. This is a French guy. And then he's, if you read
between the lines, this is really what the thing is all
about. It's about sovereignty. And it's not just about
sovereignty, it's about giving up your sovereignty. And I just
don't see how the French can out of the blue really agree to this
given up the samba sovereignty to Germany or Belgium? Does that
make sense to anybody?
Because they what we need is not a discussion about one is right
one is wrong. We need both of them, you need austerity and at
the same fiscal discipline is better it and at the same time
growth package. And at the same time, you need a transfer of
sovereignty where some countries have difficulties and at the
same time solidarity that means mutualization of the depth. And
the moment is there to stop this this fight. That is
unproductive? Yes. What we got the last two layers in the
European Council, only producing half measures that have worsened
the crisis. And I think with Mr. Holanda somebody is then maybe
we can give an other view of French view on transferring
sovereignty, I hope, I hope that he is not falling into the trap
of the old style of French politics, and that he knows that
also money, Schumer the law, that's also French tradition in
European politics. That means a supranational authority on the
federal level and the federal European Union. And at the same
time, then I think we have to convince Mrs. Medical to stop it
now. And we start to mutualization of debt otherwise
you You shall lose what is the most important for Germany and
that's the Euro because the Euro is the engine of growth in
Germany.
Okay. Now, I got a couple things to say about this. First of all,
yeah, surprise, surprise that the guy who they elected
president in France turns out to be a douchebag shill who wants
to sell them down the river? Are we really surprised by this? I'm
not. We have the big the big Eurozone meeting. Yet another
euros I heard your direct Horowitz unplugged show. So
another, you know, big meeting this weekend. Fan room boy,
haiku Herman started out with a 12 page document of what we're
gonna do. It then became a 10 page document. And now it's a
seven page document. And of all people of all people, George
Soros actually explains in one minute, exactly what is
happening.
Yes. Basically, there's a interrelated problem of the
banking system, and the excessive risk premium on
sovereign debt. That's a twin, that Sam Sam is twins, they are
sort of tied together. And you have to tackle both. And it's
recognized that you have to do that. And there is no widespread
agreement on what to do on the banking side, the beginning of a
banking union. And there's a disagreement on the fiscal side.
And unless that is resolved in the next three days, then I'm
afraid that the summit could turn out to be a fiasco. And
that could be actually fatal.
Be a fatal.
I had a bunch of sorrows, clips for some show some time back
that I just never edited down, where he is speaking to some
group and he is, it seems to me listening to them. This clip
just confirms this. It seems to me that sorrow is sorrows a
betting man. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. And essentially, and he makes
big bets. And he knows and he bets on all kinds of stuff. I
think he's been betting against the euro. And he's doing what he
can to help pull the rug out from under it. Yeah, it is very
subtle way to call
that subtle, fatal using words like fiasco and fatal that's
subtle. This is new.
I think it is subtle.
So here are the points of Haiku. If your doctor says to you, I
think your disease is fatal. I don't call that subtle date.
Here, here's everything you're gonna die.
Yeah, right. Here's, here's the main points of dissected the
document, of course, in the show notes, 421 dot na shownotes.com.
There's like seven points here. So what they're going to call
for now is limits on the amount of debt individual countries can
take on annual national budgets can be vetoed by Brussels, if
they are likely to mean a country exceeding its debt
limits. The Euro zone borrowing money collectively can be
explored a European Treasury office to be set up to control a
central budget and keep an eye on the national budgets, ie to
give us your money slaves, a single European banking
regulator and a common scheme guaranteeing bank deposits. So
it's like Basel four at this point, common policies on
employment regulations and levels of taxation, communism,
and joint decision making with national parliaments to give to
give it democratic legitimacy, ie propaganda. This is This is
crazy. This one This one? This is exactly. You can't tell me
that when the European Constitution was voted down by
France and the Netherlands. And they said no, we're not going we
don't want a constitution. And they brought in this Lisbon
Treaty, sorry, abortion, that they didn't know this was going
to happen. It was so obvious. This whole thing is one big set.
Maybe Soros set it up himself. Who knows? But this thing's
always just destined to fail. The Dutch central bank is now
announcing to people pay off your mortgages as quickly as
possible people.
Really, what's, why are they saying this? What's the panic?
You need to save money because things aren't going to get
easier saving
money paying off your mortgage debt, extremely high rates?
I'm giving you the direct quote.
How do you save money when you just have to spend more?
They're safe. They're saying Be aware because I think interest
rates will go up maybe beware things will not get any easier
over the coming years. The naval on some bunk director Joanna
Kellerman warned on Tuesday, she says people must take into
account lower pensions, falling housing prices and rising health
care costs. It's a beautiful world. That's fantastic. I enjoy
that. And then in Greece you know because of course we got
the French shell in. This was just so lovely. So we get a new
Greek government and the finance minister develops abdominal
pains and is quickly replaced by the guy who brought in the euro
in the first place
How convenient. So the guy was there for what a
week he Yeah, so
nominal pains yeah from some guys thugs coming in and
punching him in the gut two or three times I'll give it to you
details of his regular resignation are unknown.
However, he was admitted to a hospital last Friday because of
intense abdominal pains, dizziness, nausea, sweating and
weakness.
Yeah, good poison,
poison. Yeah, poison does a good poison they got there. And then
immediately the Greek government has appointed a new finance
minister after the first choice resigned so that you know, like,
you don't just resign because you're nauseous. He got a
warning like you're out douche. Yiannis store Norris has been
appointed his nickname as Mr. Is Mr. Euro. Because he was he was
part of the team which negotiated his country's entry
into the single currency. At the time, he was chief economic
adviser and a to former Prime Minister Costas Simitis when
Greece was negotiating entry into the euro in 2001. I mean,
hello obvious calling. To this is how it goes. And then I
guarantee you if the whole thing hasn't fallen apart by then,
September 12, when the Dutch have their snap elections,
they'll have all the shields coming in as well. I mean, look
at what we've got. I don't understand. I mean, yeah, people
are angry and they they are protesting in, in many European
countries, but they're protesting the wrong things.
Yeah, yeah, it sucks. You got no food and no job. But look at
where the problems are coming from. Look at who's doing this
to you. These are the evil people. Spain now capital
controls, no transactions over two and a half 1000 euros in
cash. If they catch you, you get a 10,000 euro fine.
There's gonna be a lot of small transactions then. I'm sure
you've already gotten their money out the Spanish banks.
Yeah.
So I feel really bad. I really do. It's gonna be interesting.
Rob some good stories. When? When when to lap when we're in
Amsterdam. Well have some good stories.
It'll be good. That's definitely going to happen. I got
my warning. I don't know about that Syrian television
interview. Now that seemed to be blowing up. I only see Oh, TV
studios.
Does TV studios got blowed up.
I don't think that's a good idea for my report here
if you want to play the TV station getting blowed up.
Yeah, let me see. Where's it series the bottom? Yeah, here we
go.
The latest violence hit serious state television channel Allah
Berea regime says terrorist attack the studios 20 kilometers
south of Damascus killing three journalists and four security
guards who are Syrian TV reportedly dropped normal
programming and ran live images of the attack.
Osama feces images from Syrian state TV show the damage after
an attack on a privately owned television station 20 kilometers
south of Damascus. Demesne sees the headquarters of ALEC Berea
in the town of drew shires about 4am local time Wednesday, then
detonated explosives destroying part of the building serious
minister for information visited the scene later in the morning
and condemned the attack.
Yeah, this is not looking good for my trip.
So they had I mean, it seems that all these things that are
happening that are bad is always traces back to the this this
anti government group, whoever they are, nobody knows. And it's
like we do we blame the Fed, you know, the federal government or
the regime on all these murders even though they can't really
track it, anybody. But meanwhile, when they do have
something they can trace, it's it's these bad guys. So I'm in
this world, because there's nothing we can do about this
situation is just deteriorated to the point where nobody wants
to keep things the way they are. So they're going to house the
government in some way, shape or form, overtake the place and
then there has been some good analysis about how small groups
of people can really shake things up in these countries.
Well, I have a view on this. Now, first of all, let's look at
the actual facts that are taking place now. Lucifer clippity clop
Clinton I was in Helsinki. And of course, we know she was in
Helsinki because she was telling the Finns, you're not just going
to accept this whole bailout thing, the ESM because she's
part of the Cabal bringing down the euro to you're gonna want
collateral she was there to tighten somebody's balls. But
then, of course, came the announcement that we're going to
have a big meeting this weekend in Geneva, hold on a second.
message is clear. Clip.
All right, here she is just talking about how horrible it
is. And it's just none of it's going to work. And just we've
got to do something. And now we're going to put together a
group outside of the United Nations Security Council. For
the transition, there isn't this is no longer it's used to like
transition means getting that guy out, putting our guy in
which I guarantee you will be Muslim Brotherhood.
We believe that embodies the principles needed for any
political transition in Syria, that could lead to a peaceful,
democratic and Representative outcome reflecting the will of
the Syrian people. If we can meet on the basis of that
roadmap, with everyone agreeing before we arrived in Geneva,
that this will be the document we are endorsing by our
presence, then I think the meeting makes a lot of sense.
And we support it, but we want to ensure that any country that
participates, firmly supports the envoys Transition Plan and
his original six point plan. Okay, so
the documents he's referencing, I have not been able to get a
hold of it, but I guess they're essentially gonna say, Okay,
here's the plan. It has nothing to do with the United Nations
Security Council. I'm also surprised by the way that Turkey
only invoked the fourth resolution, not the fifth six or
even seven was what I was expecting. And then she she
threw out this beautiful, just list of words that I think we
should we can use over and over again, whenever we bring Lucifer
Clinton into the picture.
Painful, tragic, dangerous, difficult. We know that.
Yeah. Painful, dangerous, difficult, tragic. Thank you for
explaining that. So here's what I think is happening. We have a
true push from the Saudis to to disrupt this entire region,
because they've got all of their oil and gas, assets and
initiatives, and they want to just get rid of everything else.
And they, I think, have guard goading Erdogan of Turkey, to do
their dirty work. So it's kind of like a proxy war, if you
will. And, and he's falling forward. He's an idiot. And you
can kind of and of course, the US is completely in bed with the
Saudis, which I think is dangerous policy for a number of
reasons. But it's all based upon money. This goes back to the
George W. Bush. You know, he got all the Saudi money. And yeah,
it's all about money at the end of the day to
most of us in that book about the bushes. What's the name of
that thing? Again, family jewels are families
family of secrets. And you see family secrets, I think, yeah.
So it's all the Saudi money. These guys, you know, they love
them. They love them. They love them. At one point, if you
recall, in the reelection when it was Gore Bush. And Bush won
the second term. He actually said it was the Muslim
population in Florida that want it for him, which of course is
bullcrap. But you know, this was the kind of thing that he was
talking about. And just one was they wanted this come out, this
came out. And yet yesterday.
And by the way, Clinton was also instilled as I believe in the
Saudis pocket. That's where yes, that's where his library money
comes from this and where's that Clinton librarian and foundation
money coming from really? Yeah.
And then the Obama administration yesterday put out
a joint statement by the United States and the United Arab
Emirates. We remain deeply committed to close consultation
and cooperation, ie, pay me to promote peace and stability in
the Gulf region, and the broader Middle East. And their meeting
at the White House today. President Obama and Crown Prince
Mohammed bin Zayed Al Hyun reviewed the full range of
regional security issues, including Iran, Syria, terrorism
and energy security. So it's all about the Saudi energy
industrial complex, if you will, and we're in bed with him and I
think it's very, very dangerous thing to do. I understand that,
you know, you want money and, and it's but you know, I think
we're putting a lot of things around So there's all kinds of
signals that this is. This is what's going on. Of course, we
had the Syrian jet which was really I think a reconnaissance
plane there was no second plane all these you can believe
anything you hear in the media and like, Duh. But you know,
this is completely nuts. Here, here's the here's the tip off.
We now have apparently soldiers defecting crossing into Turkey.
How many soldiers? Oh, yeah, baby. You gotta know. It's 33
course. Tip me off. Right. Oh, nice
one. Yeah. Okay, you get that? Yeah,
exactly. So we know what's going on. I mean, why even mentioned
it. Erdogan is now talking about if troops come near the Turkish
border. So what is he setting up here? Like, a buffer zone, human
corridor? You know, this is war talk. And I think he's stupid. I
think he's really he's, he's, he's, you know, this could be
pretty bad if if Turkey and Syria and if everyone gets into
that crap over there. Now we could see a real, real turmoil
in in the Middle East. And I really, really believe that this
is coming from the Saudis. And the more I look into a John,
this Muslim Brotherhood thing, isn't I'm not liking it. I'm
really not liking it. I'm not liking the integration I've been
looking at. Here's one. Here's something that I picked up this
this kind of two Muslim Brotherhood, these at one point
in our history. And I'm this is, you know, I was too young. We're
not aware you've been aware for a lot longer than I have your
smart guy. The Muslim Brotherhood. We're not the good
guys. Am I correct?
Now, they've never been the good guys until I guess. Hillary Kate
came along and now they're the good guys for how does that
work?
Well, who is Hillary's body man?
She has a body double.
Now you know what I mean? Who is the number one top assistant
with her all the time? Oh, right. You're her girlfriend.
Who am I? biddin Kumars mom, Salah Aberdeen. Haha, is has
very close ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and the new Egyptian
dude. She let's see she worked alongside. Here was a
this would make sense. I think we actually have talked about
her connection to the mother Muslim Brotherhood, like over a
year ago, or I don't even remember that we first started
talking about her relationship to her husband, wiener Anthony
wiener? Who is then ousted? Yes. And we believe of course, that
he's just a beard. Well,
let me let me give you an ultimate theory. alternate
theory. Okay. So first of all, here we have a Jewish guy wiener
marrying a Muslim girl. Now in America, we like Oh, that's
great. You know, it's like, you know, black, white, right?
Whatever. We all love each other. But in Islam, this is
kind of frowned upon. In fact, I think you would get stoned. If
this and I'm not talking about the good current, you get buried
up to your shoulders, and they throw rocks at you. So what
here's the theory, let's take the lesbian thing out, although
that is my preferred theory, because you know, Houma is very
smokin hot. Let's say, Anthony wiener converted to Islam, to
get married. And the reason I say this is it makes so much
sense that he as a as a if he really converted to Islam, then
you get a free ticket. Because you know, you can have as many
wives you can screw around, you can do whatever you want to do.
And otherwise, I mean, why is this? Who am I? How could she go
to all these different countries and not be accosted for marrying
a Jew? So maybe this was all this maybe Hillary Clinton has
been infiltrated, to coin a phrase. And we and and Huma is
her, is her handler on behalf of the Muslim Brotherhood. So now
he has the Muslim Brotherhood in in Egypt running the show, and
we're happy about it. There's like, it's great. Hillary's
like, Yeah, this is fantastic. Now these guys are good. I don't
recall them ever being good. I just don't.
No, no, no, no, never. And then the other day are the guys who
murdered the German tourists, yes. To prove a point.
And then the other day we had a terrorist visiting the State
Department, a known terrorist who came as a part of an
Egyptian delegation. He got into the White House and he get into
the country with a visa say with a visa check this out a visa.
He's a member of the I'll Islamia terrorist group a
certified on the list of America as a terrorist group. And the
questions were raised at the State Department in my favorite
Victoria Newlands little spokes hold meetings there. And she
said, Well, I'll get back to you on that. I'll figure out how
that happened. That was obviously mistake. So everyone
comes back to it. This is a little longer clip, but it's
well worth listening to. And people are saying, Hey, you not
only gave a visa to a member of a known terrorist organization,
they were in the White House. How was that possible? I
go back to Egypt for just one second. This is Matt,
by the way, love that guy.
But it's not to do with the government has to do with the
visa for the gamma Islamia member, you said last week that
there was a year looking into the circumstances of how this
was issued? As as Have you determined how this how it
happened? And are you aware that? So Representative King has
asked formerly asked for Homeland Security to find out to
find out how he was in fact, allowed. Entry, quite apartment,
separate from the visa
lottery FSC reporting. As we promised, we did look into it.
Unfortunately, you're not going to be happy with me when I tell
you that we are not going to get into the details of confidential
visa issuance.
You're not gonna tell us about it.
He and the rest of that delegation who were here last
week have all now returned to Egypt.
The stake to have issued him a visa given that he is self
proclaimed a number of commodities famil.
Well, let's start with the fact that we have an interest in
engaging a broad cross section of Egyptians who are seeking to
peacefully shape Egypt's future.
Really? Who says how do we know this? This is the Muslim
Brotherhood, they have killed people.
The goal of this delegation, as you know, was to have
consultations both with think tanks, but also with government
folks, with a broad spectrum, representing all the colors of
Egyptian politics. Oh,
yeah, blah, blah, blah, get to the point where you won't tell
us, liberals, Islamist,
Salafi, swimmin, Bedouin Christians, we were encouraged
that they were willing to travel if they were open to meetings
with us, etc. But in terms of specific questions on the visa
issuance, I'm not gonna I'm not at liberty to get into anything.
So the question and I don't think it's an unreasonable
question, it's, it's whether it's a mistake to let somebody
who is a self proclaimed member of such a group and or not, it
may be that the threshold under the law is higher, and that you
have to do more than just say, Hey, I'm a member of x, you
actually have to have a card or I don't know, pay dues? I mean,
maybe they're there. You catch that?
So what'd she say
to us? So the guy says, maybe it's not enough to just say,
Hey, I'm a terrorist, because that's what the guy said, he's a
self proclaimed member of this group. Maybe you have to have a
card, or certification or and the Newland says, or a t shirt.
So apparently, you'd have a T shirt that says, I'm a
terrorist, otherwise, you're good to go on the visa. I can't
believe that. This pisses me off. I'm trying to get my future
wife a visa. And I'm in like some kind of holding pattern,
waiting, waiting for the good graces of Janet Napolitano, US
Department of Homeland Security. And this woman works here and
makes money we pay taxes, but you're letting you know,
terrorists with a T shirt ID.
You know, I bet he has one. But but the question is whether it
this is a mistake or not, regardless of nobody's asking
you about the specific details of the issuance? Or, you know,
it's just did you make a mistake?
Again, with regard to this case, we pledged to you that we would
look into it, we did look into it. But I can't get into any
further details with regard to the how why were of the issuance
for all the variations.
This is good. Yeah. You know, they asked me some question,
John,
what would the topic be? Can I enter this particular topic? Oh,
I gotta go. I got it. I got Did you get a free Nexus seven
tablet at Google IO yesterday?
Well, let me tell you what, I'm going to look into it. Okay, now
a week later.
John, you were going to look into that, that thing you're
going to tell me if you would actually see
that I was gonna look into it. I looked into it and that's that
Yeah, but did you actually receive it looked into it? But
did you say I was gonna look into it? I looked into it.
You can't tell me I mean, is there some kind of
no, there's just no reason to die. No, I was I was gonna look
into it. I looked into it. And that's all I can say.
So that's exactly what's going on because they don't want this
is going to explode now. Here's what's kind of freaky I was. You
know, I've been I'm very interested in this fast and
furious case, not about the actual The whole process the
contempt of Congress, what does it mean? And I really don't like
Eric Holder. And I base that on really just looking at the guy
saying you're a douchebag. You know, I'm old enough to look at
people and go douchebag. You know what that is? Right, John,
you know, that's, that's how we get better. When you get really,
you get older, the older you get, the easier it is to spot
them, you're there to get douchebag.
And so,
remember, I talked about the holy? What was it called? The?
Was it the Holy Land? lawsuit? I don't know. Yeah, we were
talking about this the other day, it's the the holy land
documents. So in 2007, they found that there were, you know,
like 25 or 30 nonprofit organizations operating in the
United States run by the Muslim Brotherhood, who were collecting
money, and we're sending that money to Hezbollah and other
terrorist groups. So they were breaking the law. And what
happened is, they found a boxes of just all of these front
organizations, all the documents, all the bank boxes, I
think they're called. And the if you if you research this a
little bit, which which I've done, there were a number of
unindicted persons and organizations who basically
skipped out on getting prosecuted. And I didn't know I
didn't even know about this at all until a couple of weeks ago,
like a week ago. But while I'm listening to the Fast and
Furious stuff on C span, Gohmert, during the Fast and
Furious, as he's from Arizona, asked this question,
there is a political aspect to this office. It offends me be on
belief. Your job is justice. Mr. Attorney General, it's justice
across the board. And that is what's been so troublesome
around here. When we made a request a year ago, here for the
documents that your department has produced to people who were
convicted of supporting terrorism, they're terrorists.
And we wanted the documents you gave to the terrorists. Were a
year later and we still don't have them. Why in the world?
Would your department be more considerate of the terrorists
than of the people who are members of Congress? Who can
vote to just completely defund your department? It makes no
sense. So we'll ask again. And and there is no room for a
response that well, it's an ongoing investigation. So
there was the hideaway Gomez from Texas. I'm sorry. Frank's
is from Arizona. Yeah. Gomez from Texas. It was the Holy Land
Foundation. And so they had all this, all these documents, there
was a lawsuit, people were convicted. And they showed all
of the evidence to the defendants. But I guess they've
been trying to get these documents to find out what other
organizations, I don't know, perhaps tied to the Saudis who
were so in bed with these days. What other organizations were
part of this work on unnamed defendants? So now he's asking
for it. And of course holder is going to give his typical
douchebag answer,
will some of these may be classified? Asking for the
documents your department produced to the terrorists
supporters convicted in the Holy Land foundation trial? Can we
get those documents, just the ones that you gave to the
terrorist defendants?
Well, certainly you can have access to those things that are
on the public record. And we used in the trial, I was also a
judge. I sat in this Washington DC, so
is that a yes or a no that we will get those documents.
I said I was also a judge and understand the language that you
go through and just make clear up one thing with regard to the
political aspect of this job,
I blah, blah, blah. So he's not going to get the documents then
we get Frank's from Arizona, and even lays it out a little more
clearly. Q.
General, Mr. Holder on April 27 2011, members of this
committee asked you to give us information surrounding the
decision by justice to forego prosecution of the unindicted co
NS co conspirators in the Holy Land foundation case. This is
the largest terrorism finance case, of course in US history.
You refuse to comply with this request and you're still not
produced, or you're still not prosecuted, despite there being
what many considered to be a mountain of evidence against
these jihadist groups, and at least one of which now says that
is working inside your agency to help advise on the purge of
countering counterterrorism training materials.
Wait a minute. We have terrorists inside the Department
of Justice. That's what he just said.
Yeah, that's exactly what he said. And
this would be isn't, is N A forget what it stands for and
care CA I see a i R Yeah. And these people are, are now
a virus and notorious operation has been around for. And they've
they've done a great job of keeping their hands clean. And
they will Yeah, if
they're being helped by the Attorney General himself by
these documents being held on to, I want me some documents. I
don't want to read some stuff. So anyway, so this I'm bothered
by all of this, because I don't I've never really looked at this
angle of what's going on. I've never really, you know, Saudis
here what I thought that was just a bush thing. And then it
turns out, you know, Clinton, and now and now we see with this
this statement, the Obama administration
Well, you know, was just as a bunch of incompetent boneheads,
or you know, people are working against the interests of best
interests of the United States. One of the two well was known as
the Islamic Society of North America. There you go.
Tell you I thought the Huma thing was was very interesting,

Egypt, kind of puts things into perspective.

We agree that your podcast is the best podcast in the
universe. We find ourselves commenting on events of the day
with no agenda jingles from time to time. We love to propagate
the formula more but it's difficult to get people hooked
quickly as we feel takes a few episodes to get your premises.
Your reporting some of the longer term themes are also
difficult to understand to newcomers listen to a short
promo episode might be a good idea. Like we you know show
200.5
Yeah, we don't really understand that either. Just so you know.
Yeah, we don't know what we're doing. Love the show has some

smokin hot girlfriend Kim's University animation. It's doing
great in the Virgin Media short awards. If I can get a quick
plug for everyone to go spend two minutes go to Virgin Media
shorts.co.uk isn't a Virgin Media shorts. What is Virgin
Media got to do with any of this?
They're kind of they're sponsoring this. I actually saw
the video. It's pretty cool. It's called cycle cycles. Yeah.
So I think Virgin Media when you started it says, like, you know,
promoting independent talent worldwide or something. But she
can win like a lot of money she can win 30,000 pounds.
Yeah, it's a healthy donation and go to the best podcast
universe and instant night and Dame in the very least, and it's

Kevin Webb in Carrollton, Texas 6969. My wife is a career
educated with a master's degree in the pedigree to be a stellar
administrator. Unfortunately, the recession has slowed her
progress to the ultimate goal is school president or pres
principal. About three months ago, my wife lost her job and
education was being eliminated. They don't need principles
anymore. I decided to throw a few of my night payments into
the karma bucket and see what happened. Donation number one,
the wife was admitted to the previously inaccessible
interview process to become principal candidate donation
number two, the wife was given stellar marks in the interviews
and given a spot in the pool of potential candidates. Donation
number three, the wife has offered a new better job as
school principal, why the hell am I wasting all this karma on
her? Give me a shot.
You've got karma. Really? Just give her some flowers.
That's a good one. That was edited down I believe by Ezekiel

guard. He's all over the place. Again, comes in with 6226. So
this is we read him earlier. He's mentioned that except to

Flick Sir Philip flick to you, as in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
5555. Go ahead and douchebag me for being impatient about the
move to Santa Fe in the end of July and I didn't want some
douchebag to get my night ring already mailed me at the new
address to get the ball rolling. I wanted to say that the karma
worked. And I'm working on my new job at the buffalo thunder
Resort Casino. I can see what strings I can pull to get a good
deal on a room for Adam and Mickey ivali having to get to as
New Mexico. I'd like to request a huntsmen comment from my
fiancee who took her step to medical exam. Sincerely, Adam, I
think you just take the day off and enjoy your wedding.
Yeah, I gotta tell you. It won't matter much. I don't think
donations will know by then will be what is it? Second week of
July. I think we see more people saying take the week off than
people that say we need you. I think I think they're wrong. By
the way. I think if you have if you miss one or two, no agenda
shows I think you'll have a real real problem.
Yeah, and we would actually lose audience you
lose audience how much audience will we really lose audience?
Yeah, you always do. You cannot. I mean, if you ran a rerun an
old classic like show, what was that show we did on the on the
pipeline? 381-380-1381. Is that it? Yeah. If we reran that show,
for example, and then maybe Rancho 200.5 for two days. I
think that would be okay. Because people, you know, some
people haven't heard those shows. Well, let us know what
people never listen to 2205.
Right. Well, let us know what you think. And also, someone
sent me a clip show.
Oh, did they? Yeah, that would send it along to me. And so I
can listen to it.
For your approval. Yeah. Okay. huntsmen karma. Here we go. To
change, you've
got karma.
I'll tell you one thing. I know my wife wouldn't be very happy.
If I wasn't working during the entire day. You
probably started getting the shakes to be honest about it.
John, Jonathan Rose. Oh, your buddy in Tel Aviv. Oh, this is
the guy who called me the Holocaust denier. Yeah, you're a
douchebag by his standards. 5555 He came in. Oh, this For Adam's
Islamism epiphany for 20
Wait a minute, this is really transparent
so I place apologizing says he apologizes for calling Adam a
Holocaust denier he's not he's at least read the documents. I
sent him an email regarding Agamben did a judge wipe Israel
off to Matt quote misquote? I don't believe in karma and I
don't need a deed douching because I recognize I'm a
douche. And I'll remain one. I don't agree with you guys on
every thing, but I find the show entertaining and challenging.
And once in a while, you guys come up with a truly inspired
stuff once in a while, keep it up.
Well, now I'm conflicted. Because you know, part of me
says, You can't just like buy me off and make me feel good with
with a donation. He's begging for a douching he called me a
Holocaust denier. That's, that's your baby. See ya. Do what
happens when you get called that it sticks around forever. And
then someone will Google one day be like, hey, wait a minute, a,
an anti Semite.
This guy,
then why you ought to go kick his ass
serais Jacobson and Ashton Virginia, double nickels on the
dime. When does karma happen? As we all know, karma evaporates in
about seven days. By first brush with Karma was back in January.
I was a couple of weeks behind listening to the shows Adam
bestowed karma over me via podcast which was broadcast two
weeks prior. Within a few days of listening. I won an iPad at a
trade show. Obviously, this was good karma. My most recent brush
with Karma I was up to date with my shows and Adam bestowed
karma. And within the seven days of the show, I got a letter from
the Department of Corrections. Usually not good news, I opened
the letter to find a court ordered restitution payment for
items stolen from my car over two years to go again. This was
good karma. Not every donation results in clear signs of karma,
but I think more data is needed to investigate when karma occurs
does it occur when you listen to the show? Or does it occur when
the show is broadcast? I highly recommend we get to the bottom
of this phenomenon everyone should donate over $50 Double
nickels on the dime has been known to work as well as $1,100
and report back if your karma occurs within seven days of the
broadcast or listening listening oh that's another shot of karma
happy to give it to you your count starts now.
You've got karma one
B the clock is running sir s Russell Williams in Boise Idaho

Little Allen mark and Brandon Florida. $50 Peter toe tastes
from Sir Peter toe taste. That is $50 A Tom Mulroy in Ohio. I
recently was called out as a Boehner by my son Pete Oh Pete
to teach and I'm now making good by passing along some of Pete's
next birthday value for value of reprisal. I love it. Anyway, if
you pass along anniversary wishes to Pete, the teacher and
his beautiful wife Josefa that would be fab another reason for
my writings, I was forced retiree from it at a regional
financial processing company in the Midwest, get Moe rust. I was
an application engineer responsible for telephone
banking applications, basic account processing and bill
payment processing in response to your request for some
background on the banking failure story out of England, I
would have to go along with the supposition that this is a test
run for studying bank failure response, hey, hey, hey, yes
indeed like it. As John mentioned, these applications
have the shit tested out of them before they get anywhere near a
production environment, even with the extensive testing or
errors can still find their way into production applications.
Toward this end, all applications were on source
control systems that would provide a mechanism for backing
application back to the previous state. While these backup
procedures could be tedious that could be implemented within a
day or two and restore the application back to its prior
image. As a matter of fact, fear of the F di C F Dix was the
primary force behind most of these processes and procedures.
I'm not totally sure what powers F Dix carried out, but everyone
was scared this Shit of those guys the shit out of those or
they're scared shit of those guys quite the fun bunch by the
way so good stuff
yeah no this is very good and I'm thinking maybe some of those
ATM failures or RC or non connections are also testing
lack of cash response by the slaves this
five day failure as noted in the story is inconceivable thank you
thank you any bank which you caught any banking problems that
resulted in customer inability to access their cash or account
info were totally unacceptable result in an all hands all hours
effort on either correction or rollback procedures I do not
think the loss of back bank assets which is my theory, deft
embezzlement poor management scenario is probable again
because regulatory organizations F Dix would never buy into a
cover up of that kind of magnitude. Will John scoff at
the virus Stuxnet flame scenario, it may have as much
credibility as any other explanation because none of them
application problems etc. Even the four to five day test
failure is hard for me to imagine the only other scenario
I can see is just a totally inept company that had total
disregard for accepted institutional practices and
regulatory procedures. Very interesting.
Well, there's been you know, we've had a lot of interesting
failures. Listen to this June 1 Facebook outage which never
really no one really explained what it was June 7 Gmail outage,
June 11. Berkeley campus power outage, June 14 Amazon Web
Services outage, June 14 Samsung production lines in Seoul outage
19th of June NatWest that was the so called software upgrade
28th of June Southwest Airlines power outage 20th of June
petrochemical complex and Singapore power outage 22nd of
June Twitter outage cascading fail whatever that is. June 29.
iCloud iTunes and iMessage outage. That's a lot in one
month.
Yeah, yeah, maybe they're there. Maybe it might be where there
may be testing. And we want to thank Tom for that note and also
give him some karma. Just for that note, I don't know if he
asked me is it good? Karma? Great,
because it gives her this is the kind of notes we would like to
see more of which is people that are inside the business, telling
us what's going on. And finally our last donor today, we're over
$50 donor that is John Kemp, from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania,
we have a few others. But these are the anonymous ones and want
to thank them and everybody else who donated lesser amounts to
remember that you do support the show the show's done because you
will help keep it going with these donations. Right that org

I wanted to pull one out of the stack John the trucker says I
just signed up for the dollar an hour $4 A week giving level to
think should be five. You might want to consider adding a couple
more weekly amounts for folks like me who feel like $50 at one
shot is just too much but $10 a week might not be too much of a
hardship. I was actually considering doing four separate
$5 month transactions four weeks in a row when I realized that
the dollar an hour was a weekly withdrawal. I'm on vacation this
week myself falling behind but always catch up I know of a na
eventually best podcasting universe. Thank you, John, the
trucker. So I appreciate that. With all the weekly donations,
the smaller ones are extremely important, particularly during
the summer months. Just having that stuff. Carry Over really
does help us and we are sad. Just gotta beg for one more
time. We are looking for a trailer in the Texas preferably
Austin area to borrow for about three weeks for our 2009 Hot
Pockets tour. Which will take us through Colorado, Montana,
actually moving to Kansas Boise some of that Utah as well, Utah.
So we're gonna go up and come back down and be great if you
could help us out with that. And of course, this has value for
value. The only way we make it work is without commercials
because no way. No way would anyone want to advertise on the
show with a with an accused Holocaust denier sponsors we'll
be running away with a notch on.
We have no sponsors out. It's not just that it's everything we
do. We talk about the banks, which you can't do. Yeah, that
kind of makes it Yeah, no, but can't talk about clippity clop
Lucifer can't talk about it. Because it's disrespectful.
Yeah.
And form really. And pharmacy you know, you
show very little respect for Hillary Clinton.
I wonder why boruch.org/and A

hookers and blows rent boys and Chardonnay. We got some hot
pants and booze. Or if you'd like just some nice breast milk.
welcome my friend.
So my my browser crashed toe.
I'm so sorry to hear that. That blows. So that was while we were
talking about that banking thing. I was wondering if
anything had happened in St. Louis. If there had been any
banking ATM failures in St. Louis, I man when you if you if
you Google St. Louis ATM failure. It's not really a good
search term. But I know we have slaves out there in St. Louis.
Have you had any problems or they'd been does it look like
they've been testing how you will respond if things are
shutting down because there's some wacky going on in St.
Louis. They got military performing training missions on
the street.
Just a few wasn't it's like a month ago. No,
no, here it is. A military mission in North St. Louis.
heavily armored vehicles are rolling into town. And while
they come in peace, there are all kinds of rumors about why
they are here. New shuttle lives. Casey Nolan is live
somewhere in St. Charles County, where he got an up close look at
the military vehicles, Casey.
And Mike, in order to get that up close. Look, we've agreed not
to say exactly where in St. Charles County we are.
What is that? In order to get a closer look, we had to agree not
to say where we are. So now it's like a secret base in St. Louis,
where these vehicles will be parked overnight. The army
doesn't want that information to be made public for security
reasons. But we can tell you why they are here.
Yeah, for security reasons.
Wait, this is the army.
Yeah. Well, listen, you'll hear the whole report.
We don't worst Camp Pendleton. I gotta go check in Oh, we can't
tell you where the camp is because we're scared to death is
going to be attacked. What?
This may not be such a huge deal that these rigs are in town if
not for the speculation that was coming via the Internet today.
Police first put out the word that people may see these
Armored Security vehicles in their neighborhood, especially
near the Army Reserve Armory in North St. Louis on Goodfellow.
But that was about all the information they released on the
ksdk Facebook page. In just a few hours. We had more than 100
people weighing in on what was going on with comments ranging
from people saying they would stop and salute if they saw the
vehicles to others worry this is
How stupid are they?
There's the via the armies taken over a town. I'm going to stop
and salute
beginning of martial law. Well, it turns out this is a group of
military police in from Fort Meade, Maryland, and they are
here to train members of the 350/4 np company here in St.
Louis, on how to drive these rigs. A military's Driver's Ed
of sorts, if you will, on the highways and on city streets.
They are not loaded. They are not armed in any way. But the
army says that does not mean they aren't dangerous.
Vehicles over 32,000 pounds if they see their vehicle, it is
harmless but they need to know to stay away from it.
Stay away from the vehicle slaves. Hello citizens of St.
Louis. Stay away from the vehicles we are here only for a
grill grill I repeat only a grill without being alarmed and
stay away from the vehicle and salute me You stupid
Well, that sounds a lot better than your other attempts at this
at that voice.
We don't mind you all looking at it. But please stay away.
Everyday while we're out riding around. We get hundreds of
people taking pictures and filming us. Don't film us and a
lot of people even swerving in our lane.
In fact they were on Interstate 44 today coming in from Fort
Leonard. What'd they say they had one man trying to drive and
take pictures at the same time they had kind of a last minute
unintended class and evasive maneuvers to avoid a wreck so
they're warning Be careful around what is an unusual sight
in St. Louis.
Be careful around the unusual sight. Be careful. This is just
an unusual sight all as well. Please proceed to your FEMA
camp.
I like this thing. It sounds pretty good now
what is it? What are you doing?
I got a megaphone.
Oh, that's it. Please proceed to the FEMA camp John C. Dvorak and
I have to get a megaphone.
You have a slide whistle Hey, you with a slide whistle get
into camp.
You have a slide whistle I get a megaphone
going into flames in the camp getting their flight with some
boy dancing monkey boy.
Actually, I think I do have a somewhere in the basement I got
one of those ads the one that had a bunch of it has a bunch of
buttons. It plays music.
Oh, you've got you've got a deluxe model
that's pretty suppose take to a football game and it'll play all
kinds of jingles and stuff. You know it's got the most annoying
thing in the world to be around somebody with that but
this one has like a vocoder so you can change it so I was like
Hello
Hello. Turn off. Turn off the voice cord and just sounded what
was up sound like plain? I don't know if I can one on one or no?
I
think the setting I had was good.
was good. I liked this a lot.
Yeah, everything has to be prefaced with a citizen.
Or your slide whistle.
Someone sent me a funny clip. Actually, I want to play Bob
Hope one of the I have to say one of the funniest guys. If
you'd like old school humor, some movie he did something
wrong. My thing here. Listen to this one. Let's see if I can
play this.
You live here? Yes, maybe you know what a zombie is. When a
person dies and is buried seems to certain voodoo priests who
have the power to bring him back to life. That's worse than
horrible because a zombie has no will of his own. You see them
sometimes walking around blindly with dead eyes following orders.
Not knowing what they do not caring. You mean like Democrats
pretty funny.
He has a good one.
I don't know what movie that's from what I liked it.
So there's the Russia Today people listen to a lot of Russia
today. They're getting a little sensitive and they're also doing
a bunch of other they've decided to turn on the American media
and everybody is critical of them and descend defend
themselves and a lot of their stories are very, you know,
sensually they're now they're they're becoming more they're
becoming more of a like a nasty operation. But he got the
biggest kick out of the Russia today. tirade is just kind of a
even though you're right by the way, Abby Martin can't read a
prompter. No, she's she sucks. And she's old and she's actually
quite pretty much he puts on that big smile every pretty
much she needs to show her legs and she needs a lesson in
prompter reading and he's working on her pen we are the
end she needs to be bleached and we are the guys that can do
this.
I agree with that. And it's possible she's working with one
of these cheap ass small prompters you know you've seen
no light
on a handheld is not even a camera
little dinky you need the big prompter you don't need these
little I think the problem might be but record here's her rant it
this is the RT gets defensive click.
By the way, can I just say the analysis we just gave? Right?
That is valuable analysis because you know, I think you're
spot on. They have the wrong prompter. And look, this would
be a $300 fix for our T to make better programming and of course
our $10,000 fee but still this is the kind of stuff we do
people hire us
on June 27 4pm in Washington DC, and Abby Martin and you're
watching our tea. Here at our tea Our motto is question more
and what that means more than anything is to critically think
about what we're told by the main
case stop stop. We need a meaning who made up this stupid
ass slogan question more.
Yeah, she This is new. This is wrong. This is wrong. It's on
the logos. This is our teen question. By the way. Do you
notice that when she begins to read and she's She introduced
herself and then she goes into her first read? She smacks her
lips. Oh, she's done this numerous times. Like this. She
says I'm John C. Dvorak. And today we're going to talk about
blah blah blah. Every time she makes a loud lip smack. Barry
Emmett she has,
she has kind of luscious lips if I recall, they're okay.
Yeah, no, they're pretty but they don't need to be going.
No, they don't. Okay. So first of all, we're going to come up
with a better slogan after we play the clip. But question more
is not a catchy slogan. This would not sell sneakers, people.
It's Wednesday, June 27 4pm. In Washington, DC. I'm Abby Martin,
and you're watching our T.
Know, you're it? Yeah. Hey, how's it every show? Stop with
the lipsmacking.
Here are T Our motto is question more. And what that means more
than anything is to critically think about what we're told by
the mainstream RT offers a different perspective than the
MSN intends to host more adversarial journalism, dare I
say tapping into the roots of what real journalism should be?
People all over the world are tuning in because they want to
see real reporting done about America's domestic and foreign
policy. According to a recent study RT leads all other
channels and the level of people watching daily. Oh,
really? Oh, you missed the punch line. Yeah, step on it. You got
to back up and listen to this because when she says that more
people listening daily, then there's a little punch line.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
All right, say tapping into the roots of what real journalism
should be. People all over the world are tuning in because they
want to see real reporting done about America's domestic and
foreign policy. According to a recent study, Artie leads all
other channels and the level of people watching daily in Canada.
In Canada,
in Canada, is rushes past that little tidbit. All right. Who's
writing the copy?
Canada, you're fired.
It hasn't come without controversy.
Remember the naked news? Is
that still around? Yeah, the naked news is still around I
think naked check about once a year. Whoa,
R t is the state run English speaking Russian channel. It's
kind of like Al Jazeera.
Kremlin already controls domestic televisions. Now it's
going after the international audience to repair a national
image tarnished by war, corruption and assaults on
democracy
under Vladimir Putin freedom of the press was stifled as Kremlin
approved, oligarchs brought up media outlets one after another.
And none of these channels including AR T is about to bite
the hand that feeds them.
Now a lot of people say yeah, AR t does have spin because it's
funded by the government of Russia. Let's examine the
premise at work here. Glenn Greenwald wrote an article that
sums it up pretty nicely shining a light on the people and money
behind the scenes. Yes. Is there a rule that says it's perfectly
okay for journalists to work for media outlet owned and
controlled by a weapons manufacturer, MSNBC and NBC are
owned by the US and British governments, like the BBC Stars
and Stripes as well as the Voice of America? Or how about owned
by Rupert Murdoch and a Saudi prince, aka the benefactors of
The Wall Street Journal and The so called fair and balanced
journalistic stylings of Fox News? Or what about the Banking
Corporation with longstanding ties to right wing governments?
That fun, Politico? How about for profit corporations whose
profits depend on staying in the good graces of the US
government, or by loyalists to one of the two major political
parties in the US. But it's apparently a violation of
journalistic integrity to run a media outlet owned by the
Russian government. So where did that rule come from?
So you never do a segment like this, by the way, this is the
stupidest thing they could ever do. Yeah, this is pretty bad.
Makes no sense at all that they're doing this. What an
idiots. They need our help so badly. They really really need
our help.
Yeah, well, they it's Russia. I mean, there's like, you know,
it's a joke. And when you're working on some show, and
especially on a cable company, and and you're doing and you're
setting things up, and then they look at it on the monitors in
the control room. They say, Oh my God, it looks like a Russian
TV. Yeah, it's used as a comment about you know, you don't have
enough you like the wall behind right behind right behind your
back. So that you know, you're reading the news and you have a
wall behind you about a foot behind you with a shadow on it.
I mean, this is the kind of thing that's that's mocked in
our tea, which is using green screens, mostly, I think they do
have some one set. And it's just, you know, it's rinky dink.
Yeah, she's she really you right, she just her prompt her
reading is terrible. Yeah.
We can help we could help and we'd be happy to do it. We have
no shame be happy to do it. Well, I have a little thing
talking about Bogota. newsagencies And this is a an
audio thingy. I You know, LZ Granderson, you know, that is
no
LZ Granderson, he might have been a sports guy I don't know,
but he came from ESPN. And now see grouse Z L. Lima Zulu LZ
Granderson. And he worked on ESPN. And at a certain point,
guy, yeah, at a certain point, he shows up on CNN and they love
him because he's kind of like, you know, hip look. And he's got
a little bit dreadlock II thing going on. And he, you know, he
talks, you know, like normal people, whatever. And he did
this opinion piece, which was written up on cnn.com, but also
an audio, which I thought was more interesting. And it's about
Fast and Furious. And this is not about Fast and Furious, but
about how we just need to shut up and not question anything.
And this kind of sums up just like that that clip did for RT,
bunch of defensive no prompt or read no leg show and
the same guy that you're telling me this the same guy who wrote
an opinion article, article typed, or titled, Ted Nugent
should be in jail.
Yeah, that guy, that guy. Here's his Shut up slavery. He's
black. Yeah.
Here's his opinion piece. Don't be nosy. As a little nice intro
music to Hello. Hello,
we are a nosy country. Though, to be fair, it's not entirely
our fault. Between the 24/7 news cycle, social media and reality
TV. We have been spoon fed other people's lies for so long, we
now assume it's a given to know everything. And if there are
people who choose not to disclose, they must be hiding
something being told that something's none of your
business is slowly being characterized as rude. And as
such a statement is coming from the government. It seems
incriminating times have changed. Yet. Not everything is
our business. And in the political arena.
By the way, this is coming from a guy who works at a news
organization, there are things
that shouldn't be and need to be kept quiet. Heads should roll
because of the Fast and Furious to your locker. We don't need
every detail of that operation to be made public in order for
that to happen. If it weren't an isolated thing, maybe. But it is
at least the third incarnation of a gun running scheme
stretched across two administrations, which means we
could be pressing to open Pandora's box. We do not want to
open Pandora's Box. Can you
believe this? Kimberly, this is coming from a news organization.
This is this is a problem with CNN and these other operations
about this, and certainly not about a bunch of other
potentially scandalous things the federal government has been
involved with. You see, Freedom isn't entirely free. Oh, really.
It also isn't squeaky clean. And sometimes, the federal
government deems it necessary to get his hands dirty in the hopes
of achieving something we generally accept. That's good
for the country. Wait,
so it's okay. That's of a border agent. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Such as
the death of Osama
bin Laden. Oh, we danced, we cried. I did not dance and cry.
But we did not make a very big deal about the secret operation
that was executed.
Well, I made a big deal of it.
But he made a big deal about it. under a rock
stand without the permission of the Pakistani government. The
Obama administration did what he thought was in the best interest
of America, much in the same way. Project wide receiver and
project Roadrunner. The earlier versions of Fast and Furious
under W were executed with the hope that they would do more
good than harm. Hardly anyone the public knows the finer
points of these programs. Were they legal? Or hell no. Were the
effective? Who knows? By allowing guns to infiltrate
Mexico's drug cartel? We thought we could trace them up the
ladder to the leaders take off the head and the body dies
Aspera innocent people who lost their lives
by the way, we don't even know that because we don't have the
documents. We don't know anything about us. Yeah,
we don't know anything. And by the way they can something
straight has been just been discussed before it was
discussed in the hearings. In fact, I think it was Chaffetz
that brought it up wide receiver which was Bush's thing was was
done unlike this other thing that was in furious, fast and
furious that was done with Mexico's cooperation and
permission and to the guns were given out to walk but they were
all stopped at the border. So this is bogus. This is like the
argument you hear from guys who are apologists for this
bullcrap. And this guy, by the way, is an obvious douchebag and
curiously, they were the winner in for online journalism from
the National lesbian and gay Journalists Association. I need
that award defending Obama and I'm just making the connection
because Obama has this. I don't know what it is on the front
cover of Newsweek saying he's a gay president. Connection, but
you tell me
30 seconds to wrap it up. It gets better
collateral damage. The uncomfortable backstory to the
scandal And there are likely other operations like in our
nation's history that we don't even have a clue about. And
maybe for everyone's sake, we shouldn't. I understand the role
of the press is to find out the truth and I'm thankful for it.
But maybe it's better for us not to be so nosy not to know
everything because to paraphrase the famous line from the movie,
A Few Good Men, maybe we won't be able to handle the truth for
seeing an opinion. This is LZ Granderson.
Unbelievable. You can't handle the truth is a corrupt situation
with the trying to expose there's no, no great secret
that's you know, that's Oh, they already admitted that they
screwed up. How is this a bad thing? Do I get it finding out
how they screwed up? Do I get it? Clip it the day? The day
actually, maybe the tip of the month? What an idiot, huh? The
guy works for a news organization. Unbelievable. And
it's the journalism of dontari of these of this Journalists
Association.
I'm LG. I'm LZ. Granderson, everybody shops. There'll be so
nosy slave.
Don't be nosy. This is This is yours. This is CNN. Yep. He also
is a commentary guest for ESPN for doing what I avoided. That's
where he started. He's developed a passion for the National
Hockey League.
Yeah, because they have great teeth. Just a quick rundown, but
we got to get out of here because Foosball is about to
start. Very nice that the human resources here the slaves of U
T. T Haas here in my hometown, have demonstrated with $1,000
worth of gear, how easy it is to distort the GPS signal, which
then can take over the drone. It's great. This is beautiful.
Actually, I've met some people at UT. And there's some really
cool people who work at this university is a nice little
group of crazies. And these guys are awesome. And this can only
result in in one thing, and you're not going to like it. But
the government is going to shut off your GPS access key imagine
if all your smartphones, well, I won't be able to check in on
Foursquare because they won't know where I am. But they're
gonna shut you down. If this if this if people keep showing
these easy hacks, which is basically Well,
actually, what's that's not gonna happen, but I can tell you
what is gonna happen. They're gonna have a secondary system,
the really good one. They're launching it as we speak, and
it's gonna be a second GPS up there is already a couple I
think to Chinese,
through Europe, Europeans, Europeans have one and there's a
new drone John Gray Eagle. The Gray Eagle the Gray Eagle drone
has officially been introduced. It has double the weapons
capacity of the predator. It features a heavy fuel engine for
increased supportability in the field, equipped with triple
redundant avionics, redundant flight controls and surfaces
electro optical, infrared and synthetic aperture radar
payloads. This is the bitch Gray Eagle predator move over there's
a new boss in town and I can't wait until they tested I will
say we've added to the kill list kill list@curry.com US drones
attacked a house in Waziristan once again as predicted that
would be the hotbed we have 151 camps now of terrorists. So we
killed six two others were wounded. Whoa, bad score bad
score. But we got six more to add to the list.
The General Atomics MQ one C Gray Eagle has its own Facebook
page.
Really? Cool. I don't have I got Facebook. Hold on. Do you have
Facebook? Wait a minute. You can't see it if you have
Facebook.
Oh, there's certain pages they make publicly they're auto
public. I see Gray Eagle. Wow.
But I don't know but this doesn't look like the right
page. No,
I don't see it.
Well, I'll tell you which one it is Hold on. which one they click
on? Yeah, right here. You type in Gray Eagle drone. That's your
search term, a Gray Eagle drone. And then you'll see a general at
the bottom of the list just above news news for Gray Eagle
just above that General Atomics MQ one C Gray Eagle Facebook.
You're getting down your list. It's tough. It's 123 4/5 One
down.
Man. I'm looking buddy. I'm not getting any no joy here.
Let's try putting the word Facebook into that search. Oh,
wait a minute. There's an idea Okay. Oh, here we go. Got it.
Yeah, red
Butte kind of looks like a predator but bigger.
That's huge. Wait, wait, let
me like this. Bulbous head. I'm liking it. There you go. I just
liked it. I just like the great eagle
74 like so forth. I don't get that part.
Yeah, one is talking about this. That'd be me
to interact with General Atomics MQ one C. Gray Eagle. You need
to sign up for Facebook first.
I'm signed up now. I got a Facebook account.
Yeah, no. And you put it like so. 75. Now?
Yep. Let me just refresh. How come there's no
dislike?
No, no. Now you're now you're deep into it. I do have a quick
couple of things on the vaccine front. Hill and Knowlton is out
from the Hill and Knowlton blog. They actually we couldn't play
it. Oh, my goodness, I love this. Where is it? Why didn't it
play?
Looks like the number of deaths from the swine flu? According to
Lancet, and the CDC were 15 times higher than confirmed than
previously reported.
Yeah, right. Actually, I wanted to talk about that. Crap.
Where are the bodies though?
But now you know why it's a big news story because Hill and
Knowlton is the PR company behind it. This is right from
their from their website. From ancient case strategies. So
where are the bodies? They say 151,000 to over half a million
people died.
I guess they just died and went to heaven. I just body isn't all
where they go. Where's the corpses? Yeah, where's the
bodies?
Are you out darling? Okay. Yeah, sure. Oh, that's not convenient.
For and before you wrap it up, make sure I set up the clip we
want to play.
Yeah, now we've got like a washing machine repair guy come
in, but Miss Mickey has to leave. And so I'm not saying
that. Washing machine repair guy leave the door open. Honey,
leave the door open as she slams the door. So when the guy comes
when you're like, and I'm still doing the show, when I interrupt
the show,
aren't you the same guy who cleans the pool?
BBC we're on the vaccine tip here.
This is beautiful.
You know that this autism thing is gonna be such a bonanza when
they come up with all these crap vaccines. A simple brain trace
can identify autism and children as young as two years old
scientists believe. Yes, a US team at Boston's Children's
Hospital se, e g traces which record electrical brain activity
using scalp electrodes could offer a diagnostic test for this
complex condition. So what does that mean? Yep, go ahead and get
your kids tested. And here's the tip off, ladies and gentlemen,
we love it when this happens. EEG might offer a way to check
for the same condition in younger siblings. The latest
study found 33 specific EEG patterns that appeared to be
linked to autism. Ah, I love the magic numbers. And then we had
for HPV I mean, we're just trying to pull in everything out
now. Now scientists have located the cells in the cervix that
give rise to cancer when attacked by the human papilloma
virus, a discovery that may lead to new methods of preventing and
treating the disease. So here's how it works. They're going to
test you to see if you have cells that might be susceptible
to precancerous conditions if you have the HPV the right
strain. And right at the bottom of this report, this is
something that probably could be adopted by clinicians. And
pathologists pretty soon, these investigators have actually
identified the type of cells which can be used to target new
methods of testing treatment and screening. It's fantastic, said
Dr. Einstein, literally His name is Einstein
touch your eyes. Come
on, you're going to believe this report people.
Dr. Ives died.
So be on the lookout for it. This is all marketing. It's all
marketing. And you know, and this is not like confirmed
science or anything yet. We believe may be possible could be
great, fantastic. Terrible, you know, we should do we should
just watch some foosball Again the game has started okay, the
game has started me set up your clip set up here so
this is from the movie casino jack which never hit this this
the never hit the screen as far as I know and starring as Kevin
Spacey as Jack Abram off, right and it's a dream sequence where
he's testifying in front of Congress and he keeps saying I
have to invoke the fifth and Ben I'm not going to you know, these
these keep saying it over and over and over and over again.
And so but in the dream sequence, he pauses and goes
into a rant which is what everybody wanted to hear where
he's specially blast McCain and then he falls out of his dream
sequence and goes right back into the you can when you listen
to this rant you can see why this movie really never got much
play. That is your end
of show clip.
We'll be back on Sunday I'll be doing my government legislation

know I no longer wish to invoke the privileges Jack. I have
something to say. And I'm gonna say no, no, no. In fact, what do
you want to talk all about the money? Why don't we start with
the four or $5,000 checks. I personally hand it to Senator
Jarvis for his reelection campaign. And we know what that
money was all about, don't we, Senator? Or how about you
Senator Burnham? I donated $30,000 to influence your vote
keep the Marianas open for business. Remember?
What about you?
Senator McCain? You should be sitting in the seat that I'm
sitting in right now. For years, you've taken 10s of 1000s of
dollars from lobbyists just like me representing competing Indian
tribes who wanted to open up their own casinos that would
have shut my clients down. Ferrier out of order this man
