Hey Adam curry, John C. Dvorak coming to you from opposite
corners of getting them on nation. It's Thursday, February
19 2009. This is no agenda. Raglan buzzkill from Gitmo
nation East in the crackpot command center in southwest
London. I'm Adam curry.
And I hope that's not a recording. I'm John C. Dvorak
here in the Gitmo nation, Silicon Valley, North, South
California.
I mean, you hope it's not a recording.
Well, it sounds good as you transition from all those little
jingles that people want copies of, by the way,
now, well, they want copies of the Obama stuff, which I'm not
giving away. Oh, no, no, they don't want that. They can get
those. We got a whole slew young Polat who does the hit Test put
together a whole package for us, Adam curry, John C. Dvorak. This
is low agenda menacing sound. Really important news important
information?
Great. Yeah. That's good stuff. But it sounds like you sound
like part of the recording. That's how slick it is.
Oh, no, that don't Yeah, no, I just I put it in there. How cool
is that? Totally. Although I flubbed it. Did you hear me flub
it?
No, I was so befuddled that I didn't pay. I don't think anyone
noticed until you just now I should do
it again. Just to make it right. Adam curry, John C. Dvorak,
coming to you from opposite corners of Gitmo nation. It's
Thursday, February 19 2009. This is no agenda. Okay, now and why
was the club?
No, I flubbed earlier it wasn't that was live. Oh, see, I can't
tell ya. I said beautiful nation. It didn't come out.
Right.
That's I heard you say something weird. I was thinking but I was
still so baffled by this is the thing about this kind of stuff.
This is a product that we got a note from the hypnotist that
told us this kind of thing. It scrambles the brain,
of course, well, that's the whole point. In fact, I even
looked for some specific music to roll out before we actually
got started on the show to get people into the right mode, tune
them into our frequency so we can start injecting important
information into their brains.
I think that's an unnecessary thing to do.
But when you hear that, but when you hear that kind of opening
with that menacing music it I think it prepares people you're
like, Oh, the important information coming. I've got to
pay attention. It good.
I like it. So far. We're getting there.
Hey, John, let me tell you this. This to no agendas a week. I'm
really liking it, man. It's almost I'm so excited. I haven't
been this excited since high school dating.
I don't think that needs comment.
You wish. I wish you could reciprocate
on that. Come up with anything to top that.
Dating? Oh, man,
it wasn't really a big fan of high school dating I dated. I
didn't date that. I mean, I usually had a steady.
I never ever, ever got laid?
Never I'm not kidding. You got laid eventually. Yeah.
Eventually, when I was on television, I started to get
laid.
Well, gee, I wonder why that was? Oh, it's not like I
didn't know it. But I have I've people unbelievable when I say
that I do not know how to pick up women. I just don't? Well,
you got now just flash my
gold bar. A baby. That is the way that you know, I think the
way to, as somebody once said to me, they learned how to pick up
women by learning how to lie to them. I think kind of summarized
everything. And I recall the days when I first moved to New
York City during the era when New York was a 24 hour town,
which isn't really anymore compared to where it wasn't as
like the 70s. And the First and Second Avenue bar scene was
really happening. I mean, there were just It was unbelievable.
It made there's there's different bar scenes in
different major metropolitan areas. Like in San Francisco,
there used to be Union Street used to be like this. It's not
anymore. And Rush Street used to be like that in Chicago. And now
it's still kind of a scene, but it's nothing like it was you
know, in the 1980s, for example. And Athens has a little area,
which still is hot and Istanbul has an area that's even hotter,
which is kind of a surprise in some Muslim country. And so I
was hanging out in this. I think one of these took first or
second avenue bars, Uptown. Um, this
isn't an out when was this? This was probably
in the late 70s, early 80s. I can't remember right, right
after Prohibition for you probably.
It was Yeah, something like that. So anyway, I'm in there
and I'm listening to these pickup artists. And it was, it
was like, Holy crap. Pow. Nobody believes you're a producer for
CBS. You think this girl is going to believe that if
only I could find an unknown that
seriously. And he just gave her this song and dance. Because I
will we're here to I was just like, my ear just got bigger. I
bloom and I used to do that when we had an office in Los Angeles,
we think new ideas. And just for yucks, we do that at fancy
restaurants. We'd say yeah, man, I finally can find an unknown
for this role. Yeah, that'd be great. Wouldn't it was amazing,
of course, Bloom back in his day, major player. Major.
So you could have done this if you wanted to
now. So there's no chat room. Were off the chat room. We're
now using Twitter. So if you know, John, you're just using
the website for Twitter, right?
Yeah, yeah. And also, I don't get Twitter on any machine
except the other machine. And the one that the MVNO office, I
can't figure out why. You know, I've changed my password doesn't
work.
I've, I have had an amazing week of Twitter. I downloaded this
thing called TweetDeck, which I heard people talking about.
Never heard of it. It's, it's amazing. It's like a do it's
like a command consoles. And it and actually, I'll be one I'll
take a I'll take a picture of it for you. So you can take a
weekend deck Tweet Deck. Yeah. What's so cool about it?
Besides, you know, you're the people you follow and replies
and direct messages. You can set up panels with searches with
Boolean logic searches. Hold on,
and search through the whole database. Well,
no, you don't search it, it updates automatically. So I have
for instance, I have Obama, Canada. And so whenever someone
tweet or something about Obama or Canada, you can do a Boolean
AND OR you can do minus, you know, all the all the typical
things. It automatically shows up. And there's also this thing
from Twitch scoop, which is a tag cloud. And so right now, I
can see that in Twitter land. Big words are Obama. Yelp,
Christ darn leadership. MTV is bigger right now for some moment
for some reason. And you click on any of those tags, and then
it I'm sorry, I'm just getting was that I'm taking my picture.
Busted. I got you. I want to send this to you. So you can see
it. But it's fascinating. And yeah, so I've really gotten into
it. And I like it a lot. I know I'm late to this party. But
she's this this thing is just absolutely phenomenal. And I
added like 2000 subscribers in in the past couple days. And I'm
sending it to you, you're getting it.
I'm going to in a second. Okay, what's probably going to screw
up our Skype
has been has been pretty good. But it's a there's a lot to this
thing. They don't you know, it does the it has retweet options,
it just all kinds of amazing ways to access. Really, I mean
this, I gotta hand it to these guys. If you can remove yourself
from the kind of it's an IRC chat room. And the
functionality, which is pretty basic is great when when people
add little apps on top of it connecting into the API. There
you go downloaded.
You're talking about Twitter, not this thing.
Well, this ties into the Twitter API. Yeah, so I'm saying right
now it's kind of interesting. See how it set up. And I think
it should be white on black. You can't
you can't control the I don't think you can't troll this hard
to read. But that's put on your glasses. Grandpa.
Org better is not dead. It's just a contrast is wrong.
Yeah, I agree. Anyway, I don't think it's available for
Windows. I think it's maybe it is it's Adobe AIR? Of course it
is. It's an air app.
Anyway, one of the one of the first of the air apps. Now check
it out sometime.
Yeah, so anyway, so people use these hashtags. So our hashtag
of course is no agenda. So that way that you know you don't have
to remember to type in at Adam curry or at the real DeVore I
could just do your hashtag it's cool.
Okay, well good people can send your notes as we do the show
yeah, I'm not going to respond just saying So dude, I have so
much shit to talk about there is just so let's
talk about the these tax breaks for the rich it's really bugging
me.
Wait a minute, wait a minute. Where do you see tax breaks for
the rich?
Oh, that's what Obama's up to this whole thing is tax free.
This is what the Pelosi bill is his tax breaks for the rich
while the poor, the $75 billion. Well, let's just go over this
one.
Because I've done quite a bit of investigation on on this $75
billion.
You this little one here. This was now analyzed here at the
Business Insider website. Hundreds, Obama's stimulus saves
Microsoft billionaire. Hundreds of million. That's the stimulus
package. Yeah. Okay, because we have three things happening. Now
we have the stimulus, 790 billion stimulus package, which
is a tax break for the rich. Okay, we I want to hear that in
a second. We have the $75 billion homeowner bailout, which
I've researched extensively, and then we still have the financial
stimulus. No, we don't we have another financial stimulus for
the banks.
Yeah, but that's not a tax break for No, no, no, it's
not. No, but I'm just, I'm just talking about the giveaways. So
I have looked through this thing, the stimulus package. I'm
pretty amazed by when it's something an earmark. And when
it's something not an earmark? Is it not an earmark? If you put
it in at the beginning? Is that how it works?
I don't know. I never thought about it. I thought anything
that I just had nothing to do with anything that was in the
bill, whether it was put into beginning or the end was an end
it just designated money going to here specifically was an
earmark. Well, that's
that. So Pelosi saved the field mouse, which was unveiled from
the get go Pelosi, save the field mouse.
Well, wait. So I'm sorry. It sounds like you're saying Pelosi
please save the field mouse as if there's something in the
bill. Yes. To save mice? Yes.
That's correct. Rodents? Yes, that's correct. There
is we have field mice around here. They're a nuisance.
Yes. That will well, this is a protected one. That's exactly
what I'm saying. Pelosi says that's what it's called Pelosi,
save the field mice. And it's called Pelosi save the field.
It's in the states in the stimulus package. You haven't
heard about this.
Now she wants to save a mouse. Yes. And then she wants to spend
money on this. Tax a lot of money. Make distress Wedeman in
times of economic distress. She wants to spend money on saving
some crappy mouse $30
million I'm amazed you
hadn't heard about why what's the what is the I haven't heard
of it while you're in the Bay Area. We don't let it they don't
let us know about stuff like this is in the Bay Area. Well,
that's the point. They don't want to tell us anything because
we have roads with potholes. You know that you got to drive down
the street here. It's like unbelievable. They just said you
got to have you got to get new shocks every couple months.
Isn't isn't your entire state government right now sleeping.
Sleeping overnight together and trying to figure that out
because they've fired people if furloughed people the tax
refunds aren't coming. There's a lot going on in California.
So Pelosi wants to save a mouse spend $30 million doing it.
Yeah, that's just but that's just what is your take? I mean,
what is what's the 30 million for us? Why does it take so much
money to save a mouse?
Dude, I don't know.
Is it endangered? Yes. Oh mouse is endangered. Isn't that a good
thing?
A tiny mouse with a longtime backing your political giant I'm
just Googling it to find it for you. It's all easy is very cute.
Not $30 million cute. But that's minor that's that's who anyway
it's tax breaks for the rich explain it John because that
would mean me. I want to know how I can I want to know how I
can benefit.
Okay, hang on. Billionaire Paul Allen is I'm gonna read it.
Bill. You know, Bill Nye can read. Billionaire Paul Allen is
a Microsoft co founder, the owner of the San Francisco NFL
Seattle Seahawks and owner of the Portland Trailblazers, and
thanks to the stimulus bill. President Obama signed this week
is about to be as much as a billion dollars richer. Here's
how Elon owns a majority stake in cable provider Charter
Communications. Charter Communications this month said
it would reduce its debt load by 8 billion and enter chapter 11.
How can you not make money with a cable company? Normally
partners that a firm like charter would have to pay taxes
on the amount of the debt forgiven in this process, which
in which is in a sense a one time income windfall tax law
calls it a deemed a distribution. But under the new
bill, companies like Charter Communications, will be able to
avoid paying taxes on forgiven debt until 2014. Even then, Paul
will have until 2018 to pay it off completely. Paul owns about
half of charter so share is so a sheriff Charter Communications 8
billion debt forgiveness is around 4 billion at a tax rate
of 25%. Allen could avoid paying as much as 1 billion in taxes
until 2014 tax Expert Robin Williams told The Wall Street
Journal but that means you
have to make money first, right? When he mean, but you don't pay
taxes if you don't make you don't pay corporate taxes if you
don't make money
he will you don't pit? Yeah, that's true. Well, I mean, yeah.
Right but but this is he would he is making money on this deal.
Okay, because you said how do you not make money with a cable
company?
Or how do you not make money with a cable company? Well, I
Sir, I'd like to know. I don't know how you don't make money
with a cable company?
What? Is he making money or not? No, he's
not? Well, I don't know, if he's making money. I'm just saying
that they're going bankrupt. It doesn't mean he's not making
money. I mean, all these companies go bankrupt, left and
right. And guys are taking home tons. The point is, it's a tax
break for the rich?
Well, there's certainly a lot in there. And I've, you know, I've
been trying to, it's difficult because people talk about all
these different stimuli packaging. And you get confused
after a while, you know, what's, what's going where? Right. And I
was? Well, there's, so I was quite amazed by this $75 billion
poll, motor affordability and stability plan, which was
announced in Denver, right, right after he signed the
stimulus package.
Yeah, I thought it was announced before that.
Well, so here's the thing. So so I'm going to recovery.gov a lot,
because I want to find out how it's being spent. And of course,
there's no mention of the 75 billion, I delve a little bit
deeper. This is and I'm not quite sure how this works. But
the 75 billion is apparently coming out of the initial Fetty
Freddie Mae, Fannie Mac bailout. And by increasing the money they
received by $200 billion, which, I guess, I mean, it's hard to
read these bills, I guess they can do that. But I really don't
understand even if it's going to cost any money at all, because
I've looked at this, you know, because the the idea is a
certain percentage of American homeowners will get a break. But
the break, it seems like phantom money gonna go figure. Because
every example they give you if you go to whitehouse.gov, and
they send you over to treasury.gov. And you know,
there you can finally find something, it's all very
transparent, as long as you're willing to search long enough.
So if, if you have basically what, what the what this housing
bailout does, is it lowers your monthly payment, yet, it it is
basically everyone gets a refinancing. So they have an
example here, your existing mortgage, you have a balance of
$199,584, with 27 years remaining at a 6.5 interest
rate, your monthly payment is $1,308. After the plan, if you
qualify,
how do you qualify? Do you know yeah, there's
if there's a hole, they don't have a handy little calculator,
but there's a there's a whole bunch of rules, it's like, the
house can't be more than $400,000 over its multiple
family dwelling. $750,000. But there's a whole you know, if
you're up to 105% equity, oh, there's a couple of things, I
don't think a lot of people will qualify. That's what I'm
thinking, certainly not the people that are really going to
get hurt the most. But for Well, this is this is Fannie Mae,
Freddie Mac. So this is subprime mortgages. So anyway, so after
you get helped by this plan, the balance is now $203,575. You
have 30 years to repay it, your interest rate goes from 6.5 to
five point 16 therefore reducing your monthly payment by $196.
But basically, it's a refi you're paying back more at a
lower rate and every single example has that so here's do
that now. Well, if the banks was basically the forcing Fannie Mae
and Freddie Mac to do that, but I don't see where it costs any
money. So here's example B.
Well, that's because these people aren't rich.
Right? But that getting screwed
the benefit the riches for the bankers and now Paul Allen, he
gets a billion dollars in tax.
But it's it's crazy because they could lower the interest rate
now just say, hey, you know what, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac,
you're at 6.5%. Now just lowered to five point 16. Done? No, it's
recalculating. Yeah, but instead of that they're saying Oh, yeah,
okay. We'll do that would be a direct benefit. A direct exactly
to the public. Exactly. This is a deficit to the public because
you're paying more for your house you just have lower
monthly payments. So with right
which is what the scam was to begin with, is unbelievable.
Every single example is that so I don't understand how it's
going to cost any money. But the the American public because this
is, well, I'm sorry, not the American public, the twittering
American public, which I think is still smaller than many
believe. I don't think it's, it's it's big but not humongous
big.
It's once the celebrities got into it as could change things
really fast. Yeah.
But still, you know, if I look at twit scoop, you know, when
when when something's really hot, it's still only like 3030
tweets a minute. That constitutes a very hot topic. So
maybe, let's not Yeah, no, they have charts, you can see it. But
But what's so disappointing is that, just like many other
promises that were made, people are, you know, saying, Hey, shut
up curry, you know, at least it's transparency go to
recovery.gov. And I go to recovery.gov that there's no
information there. It just just, it just tells you what, what
they're gonna do. But there's no, you know, there's nothing
there yet. That was looking for the 75 billion. Nothing. And I
think people just believe that Oh, yeah. recovery.gov Yeah,
okay. Yeah, that's what that's transparency right there.
And they, like Stewie.
Someone's got to stop him. Karl Rove wrote an awesome, and I
don't give a shit about Roe v. I know you follow him. But he
wrote an awesome op ed in the Wall Street Journal yesterday.
Have you seen it? Now? So his, what's the title is the
administration winging it and like that very much. They're
winging it. But he but he's, but he latches on to something that
we've been talking about. He says, going, Team Obama was
winging it, when they declared the stimulus would quote, save
or create 2.5 million, then 3 million, then 3.7 million, and
then 4 million new jobs. These were arbitrary and erratic
numbers. And they knew there's no way to count saved jobs.
Thank you. Finally, someone says it, finally. And then he goes a
price. How
come the media doesn't change their size? They're
hypnotized. That's why. And if you go to recovery.gov, they
have a little map of onion that shows how many jobs are going to
be saved or created. And you roll over the map and it says
40,000 jobs saved or created. Like, give me a break. So, so
no, big fan of the
of, you know, the more you talk about this, the more it makes me
itch.
Well, it's angering it really is that the media is not calling
out and just saying
on the public, you know, they don't know where I know. Now,
the latest thing is, here's the latest thing you run into
constantly, is two guys only been in office for three years.
And good luck, Greg, man, give him a break. Well, let me let me
tell you, I didn't have enough time to find the audio. But I
was looking for the the speech that Obama gave where he says no
lobbyists, there's not going to happen in my input crowd was
going wild. He was not going to happen in my administration.
You'll have five days before any bill gets out there like fail.
That didn't happen. We didn't get to see any bill for five
days. And he and he took an extra day vacation, you know, so
easily could have been put up online. But I did take the
liberty of putting together a list of lobbyists in the Obama
administration. You ready? Oh, you got a minute.
Yeah, I guess.
Eric Holder, Attorney General registered on behalf of global
crossing. Tom Vilsack, Secretary of Agriculture,
registered him ring a bell. Now he's Monsanto,
Monsanto. We talked about
all Monsanto and he's Secretary of Agriculture registered to
lobby for all the vegans out there. They're gonna love that
registered to lobby as recently as last year on behalf of the
National Education Association, William Lynn, Deputy Defense
Secretary registered to lobby as recently as last year for
Raytheon, William Corp, Deputy Health and Human Services
Secretary registered to lobby for the Campaign for Tobacco
Free Kids. And I'm against that we should be pushing tobacco on
kids. David Hayes, Deputy Interior Secretary lobbyist for
San Diego Gas and Electric Mark Patterson, Chief of Staff.
Wait, hold on a second. You're reading a list of lobbyists.
These aren't people that are actually in the administration.
They're in the What do you mean? Not anymore?
Because they said right off the bat. There's not gonna a bunch
of lobbyists all over.
I'm sorry. You're being facetious. It took me a second.
I had to bite. I'll give me a couple more. Chief of Staff to
Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner was registered to lobby
for Goldman Sachs. Ron Klain, she of staff to Vice President
Joe Biden registered to lobby for asbestos resolution US
Airways interesting. US Airways airborne Express and drugmaker
Imclone that's Martha Stewart's company, isn't it? Imclone
Yeah. Am cologne. Well, it's a small world Mona
Sutphen deputy White House Chief of Staff registered to lobby for
Angliss international Melody Barnes, domestic policy
counselor. The list goes on and on and on and on. Oh,
I beaches. Jay, I don't know why you stopped.
I can't. It's too it's too depressing. And there's not as
is the media really control, John? I mean, the only thing I
tupid it must Well, there's also remember I was in corporate
media, with Viacom at MTV, and it was kind of the same thing.
You did not say anything bad about any warner brothers act
when the MTV Music Awards were coming up, because then you
could know that Madonna wouldn't perform, you know, and so this
was a very cultural thing. In fact, you couldn't make jokes
about artists ever,
ever. Hey, screw you guys.
Well, that's exactly how I use my hair. Well shove it it's
exactly how it used to work man. Exactly how it used to work and
so that's the way it
works in all corporate media. I mean, people will say well, you
know you guys are she's always say well, you know, as you guys
don't say anything bad about these guys or that guys, because
their advertisers now it's not true. But there's there is a
tendency to be circumspect. In certain situations, especially
like if you go after your own properties. It's always funny to
see some meta gags on The Simpsons or Family Guy. Remember
this one episode? The Family Guy, we're Peter says, you know,
they did versus starts off. It's actually a good clip. He says, I
don't understand why there's so much violence on TV. Why doesn't
the government step in and tell us what to watch? And then he
says, and then they have to blame the network's there's
networks why they put this garbage on the air and then
lowest says Peter Peter, Don'ts you shouldn't be talking about
the network says what? Why? Why can't I talk about the network?
What are they going to do cut our budget? And then he says,
I'm gonna go get a beer and then they just have this kind of a
solid drawing. That just kind of bops back and forth unmoving
into the kitchen. You know where there's there's no other words
there's no animation at all. And they frozen that's a fact. It
is, it is.
We'll have to get used to that. Part of the stimulus bill is
there's a lot of money going to acorn. Have you found that yet
in the stimulus? Oh, no, I
can't I don't believe it's true. Because it looks corrupt. Didn't
he wasn't he wants with a corner now just given them?
Yeah, it's almost stimulus. Yeah, I'm pretty sure they were
they were getting like a lot of money.
Well, 4.1 billion. The acorn. What? Yeah. 4.1 billion. Yes. To
community organizing company. Yes. Wow. Now we're in the wrong
business. Oh,
no kidding. Yes, thank what's interesting is that acorn today
announced something they announced a new tactic civil
disobedience. So I'm not quite sure how you can take money from
the government. Here it is. Here's the press release.
February 19. Acorn members will launch a new tactic in fighting
foreclosures. Civil disobedience participants in the acorn home
savers campaign nationwide will refuse simply refuse to move out
of foreclosed homes are in some cases will move back in a corn
homesteaders intend to squat in their homes until a
comprehensive federal solution for people facing foreclosure is
put into place. I guess the 75 billion wasn't enough for him
then. It's crazy. It's it's that's
great. I mean, that's biting the biting the hand that feeds you.
That's why I admire that.
Well, I don't know if it's biting the hand that feeds you
or toward taking directions at this point. Um,
yeah, I know. You're more skeptical. I'm
very scared. I'm very, very good. Listen, I'm sorry. I
apologize. And say that. It's seems like it's like it's all on
purpose.
Like could be, I mean, but you might be right. It might be
like, Okay, here's your 75 billion or your 100 billion,
that 4 billion whatever they get point one. Yeah. 4.1 billion
here. And now here's what we want you to do. We want you to
make a big stink about these foreclosures. So we can enact
some other you know, socialist, fascist, you know, government
control things. So just do your thing. Knock yourself out very
possible. Promise you won't beat anybody up too badly. Yeah,
we'll
only tase you don't worry.
Maybe could be
me while there's a new actor on the scene in the White House,
Peter, or zag or zag mango o r s zag. And this guy is in charge
of the $75 billion program. Wait a minute, why? Maybe he's in
charge of the stimulus package? No, I'm sorry. He's in charge of
the stimulus package. He's the guy in the white house. Who was
going to eat the budget director. Okay, so it's his it's
right there on whitehouse.gov. It's a news item no less. Hold
on. Let me find that news items even funnier. Wait until you
hear about this guy. Hey, people out there. You know, now that
we've got you're hypnotized. I know you're paying attention.
When when they announced the name google it. It's kind of
fun. It's a fun little game. Press releases. I love
whitehouse.gov press releases. Maybe it's under the blog.
Anyway, let me tell you about this guy. Israeli by the way,
which kind of fits with Rahm Emanuel?
Oh, yeah, he's gonna bring in a bunch of his pals from Israel.
So this guy besides being an adviser to Rahm Emanuel and Bill
Clinton on NAFTA he was recently adviser to the Central Bank of
Iceland is that a bankrupt country
in the world
killed rich isn't that fantastic?
How can people how can the people out there the pundits
columns Erebos let this this this is gold
of course it just glide right by him. It's so amazing. It's gold.
Yeah, we need a TV station John. No, we don't we just need to
turn on why we don't forget that. We don't need that. We're
doing fine. As is so hilarious. Isn't that great?
Oh, that's a kick that that's that's a 10 You you that's the
top or we can close the show.
And everybody will be here next week.
Telling you. That's great. This is like the old thing that
happens in professional sports where they get you know, one
loser after another. It's like a club. You know? Yeah, like
bankrupted the whole guy. Bring him in. We need you know, he's a
good guy he likes to you know, he's like Scotch or scotch
drinkers. It's bringing me a nice good guy.
Here it is setting the bar high. Just looking at our eyes.
Yeah, this is from the White House bar with a drink this
Scotch
is from the White House blog. Just looking@recovery.gov it
might not be immediately clear what an enormous undertaking it
will be to ensure the transparency and accountability
that the President expects will be upheld. It's going to require
an unprecedented level of vigilance, a fundamental shift
in the way the federal government spends your tax
dollars from the Oval Office down to every department and
agency wine awarding funds from the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act. That is why Peter or zag the Director of the
Office of Management and Budget has sent a memo to the heads of
those departments and agencies explaining what's expected of
them and offering advice for how to meet those high standards.
It's only four it's only five points if you want to hear him.
Cheese keep going is that it? Now funds are awarded and
distributed in a prompt fair and reasonable manner. Whenever you
see the word reasonable in a in a in a directive or a contract
run. Reasonable is like that's the stuff lawsuits are made of
the recipients and uses of all funds are transparent to the
public, like Stewie. And the public benefits of these funds
are reported clearly accurately and in a timely manner. Funds
are used for authorized purposes and instances of fraud, waste,
air and abuse are mitigated, mitigated. What does that mean?
It means it's resolved in some way, instantly.
Fun, let's read it again. Funds are used for authorized purposes
and instances of fraud, waste, error and abuse are mitigated
means they're fixed. Somehow. And that's just as written by
some Lindsey Nagel character, some person that's a cartoon,
it's a blogger, because it's on the White House blog. But
anyway, I just thought sounds like it's written by a public
relations person if he asked me,
you know, that's what that is not what the White House blog is
all about.
Well, I'm just saying it's not written by a blogger.
Funny, though, hmm. That he was the advice and adviser to the
Central Bank of Iceland. Yeah, that's a CV you want. That's the
entry
you would have suppressed that. I guess, again, to the point
where they don't have to you know, they got all these
lobbyists. like tons of them, and they just list them and
they're totally transparent. And they figure it goes like this is
like, you know, you see, yeah, I robbed you the other day. Oh,
whatever. It's like apparently they've decided and I think
there's some some rationale for this, that the public is so
stupid and gullible that you can tell them anything and you just
you, you throw some other you know, you just sugarcoat it in
some way and, and deny stuff you know like the the character in
the in the Monty Python movie had his arms chopped off just
the flesh wound
from the piano the clothes on his hands,
and you just did the public jell K whatever you know, they said
he's not going to have any lobbyists. Hey, wait a minute.
Wait, wait I'm not really lobbyists something here John
traders on Wall Street revolting. CNBC has like some
kind of flash bulletin. Hold on. Let's see what this is.
Oh, yeah, supposed to.
That's kind of creepy. That's from GP 1477 he let's listen and
let's see if we can see anything
that was fighting it that says
revolting right now.
lorries have crashed the inventory problem, according to
the California realtors in 2008 has come down substantially. And
the selling time for home sales has shrunk. And in other words,
markets will solve this problem in ways that this mortgage
subsidy will not that's my point. There are a state cut
low. Cut Kudlow.
Let's cut low. Yeah, so why don't see no big revolt? You
know, CNBC is a little bit on the well, they had a realistic
sight. I mean, that's one step away. I mean, they actually feel
threatened by Fox, I think. But CNBC
is, is pretty much the the entertainment of Wall Street,
you know, so E entertainment, the E channel is pretty much the
what everyone has to be watching in show business. You know,
every executive office you come into, it's on. And CNBC is on
continuously all across the trading floor. They've got the
sub the subtitle. Yeah, the closed captions on yesterday,
though, they had a great piece of news, which really hasn't
made much of the of the mainstream press. But partners
at Goldman Sachs are now having to borrow 10s, if not hundreds
of millions of dollars because they got margin calls against
stock that they've borrowed against. Oh, this is bad. This
is this is the stuff that bad days are made of when you get
margin calls on your on your own company stock.
Yeah, that's not a good thing for them. No. Well, that's good
about that. The inventory is dropping in California and get
out of this miserable state. This is going under
Did you see Bernanke by any chance yesterday? No, it was um,
it was unwatchable. He came out and eaten I
did this with a guy I think he's he's loaded
in which way as in drunk loaded, well, will you be the judge? He
started off and and so the press is so gullible. They're just and
they're laughing all the time. They laugh at these press
conferences, you know, and by the way, you know, the guy
sometimes makes a funny joke. Just like Obama You know,
there's there's always some humor at the press corps is
always so ready. That's so funny. So Bernanke comes out he
says, you know, it's a really bad situation and I just want
you to know that even my family home that I grew up in has been
foreclosed on. Like that guy is a billionaire billionaire and
the press goes Whoa, a billionaire. And he has the
audacity to say that
you have hope Yes, Murphy's case would be the audacity of dope.
My family home has been
foreclosed on. Cheese disgusting
I think you're getting a little too into this.
Well, I You're right. It because of what I see it happening you
know, so how do we distract attention away from the Real
News? So one way is to say hey, we found another made off they
look because the press loves it. That's all the press will talk
about.
This new made off, by the way, is a million times better than
the old made off. Well, of course, because it involves
first aid off had no drama. He basically got caught, gave
everybody the finger. Yeah, moved into his Park Avenue
apartment. We're hanging out. And he's living it up. He never
he was seven years old. He didn't go out much anyway, this
guy at least ran away. You know, that's kind of cool. I like the
latest
right? What's that? He was under investigation by the FBI drugs.
Yeah, maybe a money laundering operation. They got pissed off
at the SEC for busting him because they were surveilling
him I guess trying to catch a bid one of the most violent of
the Mexican drug cartels.
Does this not prove my point which we've done discussed on
this program many times that Wall Street is nothing more than
a laundering operation for drug money. I mean, here's the proof
right there. And let me ask you this. Who broke this story?
Where did this story come from all of a sudden? Because
apparently, the guy's attorneys for Stanford, went to the SEC
last year, so that could be December, but I think was around
November. So they were sitting on this No,
no, it was the he was first being looked at in 2007 for the
drugs, but not by the SEC for the drugs, right. But the SEC
was sitting on this information as well. And all of a sudden,
it's breaking news, and there's a lot of stuff happening, which
I believe is meant to cover it up. But what who broke the
story? Where did it come from? Why is it all of a sudden news?
Well, that's a good question, because these things tend to be
leaked out in some sort of a concerted effort. Now, I knew
about this because Horowitz and I had talked about it on our
podcast before it broke because he has a friend working there
who by the way, he said he did say I have this friend who's
working there had to call him back like a couple of days ago
instance and describe the scene where the feds come plowing into
the office you know, basically kicking down the doors pulling
out all the plugs of all the computers you know, rounding
everybody up and telling him to get the hell out. He says which
was very unnerving.
No kidding.
Yeah, that's definitely one of the tougher that financial Pete
folks this has got to be one of the more interesting things that
guy's taken off. He's tried to get out of the country. He
apparently tried to rent a jet you know, a private plane,
I heard a helicopter I heard he tried to rent a helicopter and
his credit card was denied.
I didn't hear about the helicopter but I know about the
jet was trying to fly to Antigua which doesn't make any sense if
you think about it, cuz they're gonna kill him when he gets
there. Yeah, I mean, the soccer daily the cricket team that he
owns will kill him
whatnot. Now this is why it's big news over here in the UK
because of the cricket team sponsorship. And this guy is a
sir he was you know, they literally carried this guy
around you know idolized and I'm divorced that org slash blog I
saw a great story and accompanying video you should go
there and take a look at it. Of of this guy hugging Nancy Pelosi
and Bill Clinton. You know, of course Bill Clinton, I believe
the biggest drug trafficker in our history. Just go look up
Mena, Arkansas, you'll learn more. Yeah, he was pimping them
out. I mean, it's disgusting. Disgusting. It's it's just more
proof for me that this the whole thing is the whole thing is a
fractal.
So anyway, so apparently, he went to get this jet. And I
guess he threw down his American Express black.
Bone, and it got declined.
Yeah. Which is not supposed to be possible. It's fun if you
have an American Express black. Which, by the way, for anybody
out there, you have to have some you have to be invited. You have
to have you have to have like a million dollar a year income or
more, or something. And then you have to have and you have to pay
I think the fee is $10,000 a year. Just to have the car in
Yeah. Which is like, why would you have this? What is the
point? What's wrong with the green card? It
works? Nothing. That's how guys get laid. Without the blackjack
card,
it would have dumped the dummies that you know that they probably
get laid by their animal with a black card or I guess the gold
diggers would know what it is. Yeah, you would get laid by
them. So anyway, I'm sorry. Go ahead. So anyway, it seems to me
that the whole the guy's now I figured he's you know, rigged up
every you know, he's got his head, his war chest he probably
has, you know, half a million in cash the grab putting up you
know, in a Chevy Capri and drove across the border, you know, who
knows?
Yeah, that's pretty amazing. To track him down. Of course they
will. And they'll make a big deal out of it. And, and he'll
wind up in Paraguay with Ken Lay from Enron, who of course is not
really dead.
I've you know, I use funny you should say that because I've
always been suspicious about Ken Lay actually being dead.
Oh, he's I don't believe he's dead. Where was the funeral? Was
it a huge thing? And did everyone come out or were people
protesting what happened? He just got a heart attack. He died
in his sleep or or on his way or, you know, it's not like it
was a public collapse? No, I think they protected him.
Well, he had enough money
while he was George Bush's best friend. I mean, he flew on
though his whole his whole campaign.
Country in some way. Yeah. No, I agree. I mean, I'm not saying
that.
Hold on one second. John. Hold on one second. Hello. Hey.
Hello. Hello. My wife just landed she wants to call and say
she landed. No, sorry about that. I'll put it on. Silent.
Was she in an airplane? And I think she was in the car. I hope
she was in the car. Let me just tell her okay.
So, ya know, the Ken Lay things I've always been suspicious of I
in fact, I was thinking of doing a novel about, about something
like that where the guy's living in some Costa Rica or or, you
know, you could probably do it in Paraguay, Uruguay. I mean, a
lot of the Nazis went to Uruguay
Paraguay that's where that's where that's where Bush has all
that property you know, that's why he's there I guess hide now
he could
be sitting you know, these can lay if you can lay was down
watching the bush property in Paraguay aquifer. He was like
the he was in that house? Yeah. Who would care know who he was
or anything? No, nobody. Nobody know. You know, and all he has
to do is grow a beard.
So this is this is where my my theory comes in that Obama is.
Well, you know, I believe he's an actor, but this whole
administration is Clinton Bush people. So there's no including
Hillary. They're still in the game. You know, it's just a new
guy. And he's not in the White House. He's traveling around
He's all over the place. He's he's still campaigning, giving
great speeches does a fantastic job makes everybody feel good.
And I just got to presume he, he's either Manchurian or or he
really doesn't know. Because he truly, really, really pulls it
off. And I it's like, he does believe that what he's doing is
good.
Well, he's a cutie cool as a cucumber, although I
had to laugh at a WR eak Rieke is that Reek as an wreaking
havoc?
WR EA K. Yeah. regreat gate recon is wreaking habit I think
is maybe
what do you pronounce it that way? Ri R E. K, but you
pronounce it? riq?
I think so. I don't think that yeah.
Because the Obama speech. He misread it and he said wrecking
havoc, I thought was kind of funny, right? And then an A or
an E could easily look like a C. So I think if you're reading
from a prompter, it's easy to mispronounce,
you can make that mistake easy unless you practice unless you
practice that he probably he's probably starting to have to
cold read because he's so busy. This will be interesting. As
anyone who has ever worked on a prompter know cold
reading is you got to work it for a while baby before you can
do that perfectly. It's tough.
Yeah, because you have to actually it's really an
interesting tricky, and it's not easy to get to it. I mean, it
takes years and he's not going to have enough time. And one of
the problems is you have to actually as you're reading the
word you have to read you have to pre read the word ahead and
then make sense of it. So your so your cadence is correct. And
then that's why you find a lot of professional announcers how
they've developed a strange cadence. They all have the same
one. It's like it's done. It's done.
Exactly. Exactly, exactly. You need this
certain kind of a pace. Because if you screw up, it doesn't
sound that bad. Exactly. If you have like long pauses. It just
sounds sounds as like that as if that's the way you talk. And
yeah, you could say right can wreak havoc based upon other
gaps that would be recordable.
from Gitmo nation East I'm incensed about this. So you
recall that there was a there's a whole backstory to this, which
I won't get into, but there were seven or eight so called radical
Muslims who are going to mix up explosives on the airplane and
bring down multiple jetliners headed towards the United
States. And of course, this plot, this evil plot was foiled.
And on the heels of it now worldwide, you have to put all
your liquids into a little baggie, no more than 100
milliliters and you have to do all jumped through all kinds of
hoops and it's a real pain in the ass. So last year, these
guys were basically exonerated because the jury could not
convict them. Of, of even an intent. They did have chemicals,
but they could not convict them of mixing stuff up. They did not
have plane tickets. Most of them didn't have passports,
no plane tickets. Yes, true. So they so
they dismissed them. And now all of a sudden out of the blue and
the press is doing nothing about it. The BBC is the worst. So the
jury in the trial of eight men accused of conspiring to murder
by blowing up transatlantic airliners has been discharged
for quote, legal reasons, legal reasons. Could you elaborate on
the legal reasons please? It is not yet known why the judge Mr.
Justice and re ks took his test. decision to discharge the jury
so it's like hey, we we didn't we didn't get them this time to
prove that you have to be our slaves and put all your liquids
into a frickin baggie we're gonna just do over and we're
just going to dismiss the jury for legal reasons is outrage and
people don't even remember that this this this case was already
tried they couldn't convict them and they just do it all over
again and the media just sits there go Oh, legal reasons as
legal reasons so of course it's legal reasons you know, why even
listen to legal reasons? Just Just makes gouges
had 7499
Adam curry, John C. Dvorak. The Dow just hit 74 The Dow just hit
7499 Jerry dismissed for legal reasons. This is no agenda.
Sounds good.
So it's probably nothing wrong with that.
So as the Dow up or down,
it's down.
What was it again? 77 No
7498 Now remember, I
called 7286 7286 by February 14 I came so close it'll go down.
It'll it'll go down even beyond the cracks
of a divot that if you do not have done this Dipsy do once
before now, the way it did it, that fractal is that it should
go down maybe another 100 points and then rebound tremendously.
Or it falls to the floor. And then we have a new floor, which
I don't like the idea because I recall the dot the bottom on
November 20. And I'm not the only one that did that. So but
it'll be embarrassing. That's okay. It's like the stock
market. You know, yeah, I missed it. Nobody gets it. Right. So
what there was a make, it's all bullshit.
Have you seen gold? Gold's up, ya? Tip in it. It's just ticking
$1,000 announced now.
Yeah, I know. It's I talked to a lot of people. So oh, you know,
goals too high think I'm gonna short it. And I'm thinking?
I don't think so. I don't think so. I may not be a good idea. So
well, let me go into some since you mentioned Hillary being in
the administration, which I showed her floating around, and
I thought it was going to be a controversy put in your hand
because you know, the connection between her and that Clinton
Library is still something that you know, that I think the
Republicans were hoping she's gonna get nominated so they can
start digging into this thing, the Clinton Library, which is
funded by unknown people. And the fact that I think Clinton is
worth like $100 million, all of a sudden, or something like
that, supposedly, from his speeches. As well, that's very
possible to anybody he
makes. He does about I think it's 250,000 per speech. And
then, yeah, it's like 200 may have gone up a little bit.
Yeah. Well, here's what I'm thinking. So it's possible. What
kind of corrupt system do we have when I don't care if the
guy's he's not present anymore and fine, he can go out and make
some money. But the fact is, is what kind of deals can you do
while you're in office to avoid the the Spiro Agnew effect where
they you know, you actually asked people to bring a bucket
full of money into your office, so you could put it under the
desk. Apparently, you know, Nixon had a pot full of money
that somebody brought
him black bagging, its economic lemon. That's black bagging.
So instead, again, because you can get caught doing that.
Because there's always somebody suspicious, but you do these
deals. You say, Yeah, I don't know it once I'm out of office.
I don't know. Maybe if somebody booked me about pharmacy. Let's
see you in your case, I'd say if I got booked five speeches,
let's see one at 500 and the rest at 250. Now that would make
up for it. And oh, by the way, I have this library. Yeah. And you
know, exactly. It's just that's really closed off, you know, and
it but there's no it's looking for donations, if you understand
donations. You know what I'm saying? donations. Hello,
hello, donations. It's not a tax deductible donation.
Nonetheless,
if well, it's coming from, you know, the Saudi Saudis, they
don't need the tax deduction. But they think that most of the
library money is from so the real the real scandal, looking
for the land. You don't think that's a scandal? What I just
described? No,
that's peanuts. That's peanuts. Do you realize that over $150
billion that was sent in cash to Iraq is unaccounted for is gone,
but
Oh, yeah. 100 And it was that it was only 50 billion or just, Oh,
who's counting? And you see all these pictures? If you Google
Cash, Iraq, you see all these pictures of pallets, full of
dough pallets of money, and you know, and soldiers taking
pictures and laughing and stuff, which, of course I do the same
thing, obviously. But I've been hearing for a long time, rumors
about senior senior officers getting huge payoffs. And I
witnessed some not the payoff bid, but when I was in Iraq, I
saw how this worked. I mean, it's literally there's huge pile
of money that comes in. And then there's a guy who sits behind a
desk and people come in, you know, locals. And and they're
given dollars. And then they're you for whatever purposes, you
know, whatever is determined, right? They get A Fistful of
Dollars and they walk out and the money's just sitting there.
I mean, how, of course, how can this not be used for all kinds
of inappropriate reasons? I think that's that's the scandal,
man. That's the big scandal.
That's why we're broke over here. here and just shipping our
money there a rack and giving it away? What kind of what kind of
thinking is this?
It's frightening.
Why don't they ship us the money? I wouldn't my walk I
stand in line, if guy hands me a pot full of 200. You know,
here's a here's here's, you know, have yourself. Here's
because it's
because you don't need to be paid off. You're not important
enough. They'll just, they'll just suicide you.
So we need to get more subscribers you got we've gotten
100. So far, we really 1000. And then we need 10,001st. of
all thank you, everybody who's supporting the show. Go to
dworshak.org/n. A, to donate. We appreciate it. And the reason
why is our money will be gone just like yours. So we need to
save up a little bit because we'll need to buy bandwidth and
all kinds of stuff.
So we need to get 1000 subscribers for starters, and
we've got we might be able to do that in 10 weeks, I wonder. And
then it's $2. You know, it's a $2 a month thing, we get to
listen to the show twice, you get to listen to it anyway free
if you don't want to give us anything. Yeah, that's fine. And
that's cool. And we're gonna end also next by Sunday, I probably
have a secondary thing because there's a bunch of guys have
written and say, Yeah, I don't like this idea. I just want to
give you some money to just a one shot thing like, you know,
$24 for the year, right? And so I'll set that up.
Okay, that's cool. That we'll take it any way you want to set
up the third one
it was someone just wants to give us money. You know, they
like as in the Clinton Library. So somebody from FBI,
can you put the vorak that org slash library
library. It's where they want somebody to buy feels obliged
will probably, you know, back off on our complaining although
not much to complain, I got a guy in Dubai, he just wrote me
by the way, I'm going to try to get him to be a correspondent by
screw though man buys ago. So I so when I was in Lisbon, I was
hanging out with this guy from Dubai. And he was telling me
about to Paul, me, they got all these real estate developments.
And apparently, when they started some of these things,
you can buy a house for $350,000. And then they went up
to like five $10 million in value, and then they get
crashed. They have a crash going on over there. He says but the
house is still worth like 2 million. And even though it was
up to 10 He says the place is completely insane.
Well, it's insane. Because there's no more money. I mean,
oil has been below 34 It'll hit $33 and change today. It's been
below $35 for weeks. I mean, the the oil producing nations are
losing their shirts.
Well, it's because they budgeted wrong?
Well, yeah, they budgeted, you know, somewhere between 50 and
150. And from what I understand, it's gotta be at least 50 bucks
a barrel to make any money. Because it really is
asinine. If you talk to the Saudi guys, they say they get it
out of the ground at two bucks.
Yeah, but okay, well, my understanding from a guy I know
at Halliburton company here is that it's really on. If you do
it in the sea, it's about 50 to $50 a barrel and out of the
ground about 40
That's bullshit because the historic price has always been
25. And the guys in Iran they do watch mana jati says that
they're budgeting for $25 oil. So that's not
the infrastructure but it's the infrastructure you know, it's
and everyone's it's been bloated, you know, the whole if
they started over again,
that maybe they had to get these high prices to pay for what they
made it's impossible to find
talent that's that's my guys are a recruiter trainer. And he says
impossible it's impossible to find talent that now getting
idiots and their training. And you know, he he asked me all the
time, you know, how do you make video conferencing work so that
it will actually be effective you know, all the because he's
really trying to train it. He's an army guy. So he's just
resorted to army training, you know, repetition, repetition. I
can hear you. So, huh. But Dubai, there's 1000s of cars at
the airport abandoned? Because Oh, yeah. To get a picture of
that. Yeah. If because in Dubai, if you don't pay your debts,
like your house or your car payment, you go to jail. They
don't just take the car away. They throw you in jail. This is
a serious, serious shit. So all these and they use a lot of
contractors and freelancers. So all these People are just like
bugging out going to the airport hopping on a flight leaving
their car there is 1000s of cars at Dubai airport without visible
Yeah. Yeah, there's a country I want to mess around and that'll
be fun.
Oh, it's not bad. I've
been there. I've been there too. It's not bad. Yeah, but you
don't want to mess around with the law.
Well, you don't want to mess around that time by messing
around I think we should get one of those. I mean, they got to do
something with those cards called backups and it was called
theft they'll give you just know that just the flushing itself
we'll have to reclaim those cars and I can leave them at the
airport forever and then they'll auction them off and we should
pick a couple up there's probably a couple Mercedes who
knows there may be a Bugatti sitting at the airport.
I am so amazed by your priorities
I need a new car.
Now that I'll agree with if we have anything left over from the
library fund we'll get you a car we'll get you some new wheels oh
boy
so anyway, what else
well under reported is the green comet
Oh, so we're gonna go we're gonna go there already will
NASA reported February 4 that and to have a picture of it
there's this like green comet that all of a sudden just
appeared on everybody's radar and it's pretty spectacular on
curry.com I posted the picture and but you know the comment in
the Comments can do interesting things it is of course
approaching Earth I don't want to say like oh we're gonna get
killed by a comet. But
an odd greenish backward flying comet is zipping by Earth this
month. Why is it greenish? Because I mean you're there are
different Gaia you know it's a gas
it has I believe it has a gas field the size of Jupiter
so the gas is the gas itself without it being excited by
oxygen which is normally how you get these colors right you get
some salt you burn it and it's oxygen man it turns green right
that's how you get the you know the you know those little logs
that have colors colorful flames to get green red blue but this
is just green by itself well
also people have been reporting
and what is his backward green comics one time only but what it
has it can be one time if it's to go by it's got to go around
and around
I don't know but this is remember we were talking about
the the British French sub coalition right No, no, maybe we
weren't talking about that
happened but yeah, what about it and while there's
a theory out there that this comp didn't you know, we have
had some massive solar winds recently and some other things
in this comment. You know, people are seeing debris, green,
green flashes of light in the sky throughout the world. And
that ship can particularly solar winds that can disturb GPS and
other
problems. Well that's an interesting theory that
something well no those guys claim course then again, who
knows what really happened with those two subs bumping into each
other? They said that they they were supposed to do something
they both turned off all their sensors and then they bumped
into each other what were they turning their centers off and
never made any sense to me they were running was the point that
we're running silent and deep. So what was the point where they
were supposed to meet up beside me the whole story is kind of
vague that of
course I don't know. But there's from all over Kentucky green
light in the sky I see a lot of Kentucky they're interesting.
Some some object crashed through a house in New Jersey a hot rock
hot rock
Yeah, it was amused by that the size of a brick blogged it some
guys some hot rock came from nowhere they said it was dropped
into the guy's house and you know direct his roof and it was
so too hot to touch for one I think it sounds like a meteor to
me but everybody that came in so no no it was forged it was like
a piece of for yeah
like it was Yeah. Now what do you call it cast iron
yeah cast iron I'm sorry not forged is different Yeah, it was
CAD was a piece of cast iron that hot cast iron that came
plummeting down from God knows where I don't know how that made
comments are kind of like are not comments but meteors have a
kind of a cast iron quality often I've looked at enough
right so that that would make sense because this is a mediocre
and but if it
was a meteor would have like he had an explosive effect when it
hit it did just kind of came clunking down I don't know
meters doing that. Anyway, those come in pretty fast
on curried are calm there's a link to the To the NASA NASA
story NASA reports this so I'm sure it's there's got to be some
truth there. But you got to question something.
You probably probably reports global warming to
really you probably blogged about the stellar Remington
former head of MI five in the UK
Oh yeah, ever you can not blog I didn't make its specific posts.
Have a link to it right
warned she's warned that the fear of terrorism is being
exploited by the government to erode civil liberties and risk
creating a police state creating one this is like one of those
save or create jokes and come it is a police state. Good honor,
though for coming out.
We did blog the fact that they're just now illegal to take
pictures of police. Yeah, I
know under the Terrorism rule, act, what 44 or whatever it is.
A policeman can can force you to stop taking pictures. It's not
it's not necessary, necessarily illegal. But now they've just
added to the section 44 that if a police officer it's not even
police officer can be a politician even it's anyone
who's who's an official within the government. They say Stop
taking pictures you have to wear you can get arrested. So well.
So what do you think is a green comment? I mean, what I don't
know. Is it maybe a publicity stunt for comment? The the
detergent the the cleanser? Because it's in a green can
they need a more viral videos to for it to be a publicity stunt?
Let's
see if I was working for I don't know who comments made by
Procter and Gamble or I don't know, it could be it could be
any one of them. But I would be on that in a minute. The green
comments come in the green comment and have a can of you
know, Comet cleanser. I don't know what they're thinking how
they can let this go by.
Speaking of gigs, we don't have green Aurora. I've seen a green
areoles that's different.
charged particle motion and Mertz Magneto sphere, and his is
a green one. So I'm good to go. It's Magneto
stuff, man. There's all kinds of stuff going on. But no one talks
about that is that that's interesting, at least I mean,
I'm not saying there's,
this could be distracting. You know, you're looking for stuff
to distract people from the Obama, you know, the handout to
the rich.
No, because it's not interesting. People aren't
interested in that they're interested in high drama. So you
get this Stanford guy who was put up like $20 million a match
you know, the million dollar a man matches prize money. Now
that says cricket thing a cricket I'm sorry. And and you
have to understand that, you know, most sports are sponsored
by banks, banks, insurance companies and telco. That's
pretty much it. And now you've got the Aston Villa guys, the
footballers are not getting paid because the sponsors are pulling
out left and right Formula One sure that's logical is the most
expensive sport in the world. But now regular sport is gonna
go down the tubes and it will reset a couple of salaries as
well, I'm sure because this is just got to stop. Gotta stop
advertising. Tony Blair won a million dollar prize for his
global leadership.
He needs the money.
Isn't that amazing? That's how these guys do it. That's how
they get their money.
So that yeah, you get it after the fact you do your deals, you
make your you know, it's all quid pro quo. When remember, say
keep a little book and say, Okay, we know how much Blair is
still down a million. How are we going to get it to him? I got an
idea. Hey, Tony
will make your hole man. Don't worry, we'll make your hole on
the back end. Both in the United Kingdom in London and in New
York. Governments are now hiring fired bankers. The Treasury
Department in the UK is literally hiring bankers who
were fired to come and work for him. That's a making hole if
I've ever seen one. Same in New York. It's all the same
everywhere. And you blogged about this thing about the in
car GPS charging by the mile. That's they've been pushing that
for seven years in Europe, and it's going to happen they bought
the it's I think it's 2011. It's going to start in the
Netherlands. And and everyone's up in arms about being charged
for flushing the toilet. We went through that member I looked at
my water bill, and they charged me you know, X amount per 100
liter 100 cubic whatever is coming in and they charged me
the exact same quantity for going down. You pay a sewage
charge. It's stupid. No, no, it's a ripoff.
But it's a rip off. Yeah, no, they just double the rates with
some bogus excuse. You know you saved There's no water shortage
or anything you pay for usage you don't pay for, you know,
discharge. nobody's supposed to do with this stuff. You pay for
it. If you drink it, you pee it out. I mean, it's always gonna
go into the toilet. But the nasty
thing is, is they have no, they're just saying, Okay, what
came out, we're going to charge you for that going down. But you
know, I make tea, I drink water use water for all kinds of
purposes, that can never be the same as what came out of the
tap.
Yeah, never. Unless you're just running the tap,
and they don't have a meter on it. They tried to install one of
those smart meters. I'm not responding. I don't want it.
Oh, yeah. avoid like the plague. Yeah.
Like, this is free. You get a new meter. It's really time for
a new meter. I'm like, I'm not here. I am not responding to
that.
Well, unless you can find it. If you do enough research and
advancing you find someone who's hacked the meter.
I got so much to do, man.
For people out there who want to save money.
So here's what here's what I think the strategy is. I've been
watching. Putting, you know, so now we have the G 24. Meeting.
And
they're also known as the drinking club.
That Japanese guy was fed. I had to put him on bvo today. I love
that guy. I've been in meetings like that. We've all been in
meetings like that. Why why? Particularly consulting for
Microsoft is like your eyes kind of go into little slits there.
And what do you think Adam? I think it's a fantastic idea. But
it looks like the global bank that they're pushing for. So the
bank that will run all of our banking and thus our political
system looks like the IMF is sticking its head up along
with the World Day they don't this is this is their, their
turf?
Yeah, this is what they do. The IMF and the World Bank which are
I think pretty much interconnected and by the way
the world bank makes sense because the name is already
there. You've got the brand you've got the you got the
domain they've
managed to put out world savings and loan in the world and all
these companies that were named world here in the United States
they've been forced out so this sort of name is clear so here
website so
here's one all they need to do was call it the New World Bank.
I think that's a bit much because you're the new world and
it just sounds too much like New World Order I think is that
everybody's using New World Order everybody is using it now
Medina jawed use it the other day, he said we need a new world
order. I thought he's supposed to be one of the bad guys.
Well, what they talk about in Iran when they talk about New
World Order is not fully understood here. I read a
sociological piece which I've kind of mistakenly did not can
make a copy of it was done by one of the top guys at Tehran
University, whatever the big school is there. And he was it.
This was
Tehran state. It was it was a hoodie. We need a hoodie from
Tehran state everybody. They
probably have them. I'm sure they do. We've got iPods. Well,
I just got a hoodie from Richmond, Virginia, and I got
one from Oklahoma. Anyway, the credited among the Twitch, I
don't have their names in front of me. Anyway. I'm trying to get
one from Florida. One just came on everyone I want to get on
that. But anyway, this guy went on and on about how with the
collapse of communism, he says there needs to be, you know, the
game, he showed the, you know, he had these diagrams, but there
has to be these conflicting worlds. And there's no reason
why the Muslim world can't take the place of the communist world
in this regard. And it is no reason it can't be led by Iran
as the, as the, you know, the brains of the operation to to,
you know, compete with the West, namely, the United States being
the brains of that operation. That was his long, long argument
about how important it was to have these, these competing, you
know, theories of life, basically. And theories of
government and theories of how things ought to be, that keeps
things in a kind of a tense keeps things in a in a, in a
kind of a flux. And he went on and on I thought was really
interesting. And it was all oriented toward the creation of
a new world order which replaced the, the Russian communist
Soviet Union with this Muslim Iranian centric, you know,
system development or whatever, you know, or creation. That was
the New World Order in his mind. And when he says New World
Order, that's what he's talking about. Okay.
Well, it's Gordon Brown definitely means something else
when he's talking about it.
I think there's a difference in their meaning the interesting, I
think, let's hope who
knows? Yeah, I mean, Ram might be a good place to go. I don't
know about that. That's a great place. Is this beautiful people?
It's
modern economic. I haven't been there my wife has, but really I
don't know if it's a good place to go. Well, the answer
Yeah, no, I know for sure that's a good place to go. If you want
to be safe to want to hang out with cool people. And you know,
the only danger is you get nuked. And then Iran might not
be terribly. No, no Iran. Now Paraguay is not going to get
nuked. Of course not. Kansas suspends income tax refunds, may
may miss payroll, you know, the states, we talked about that
briefly last week, I've looked into that a little bit more.
It's actually a very beautiful thing that's taking place. The
way the United States work, the federal government really works
for the states, you know, when the original 13 colonies got
together, they the whole, the whole thing is an agreement
between states and states can pull out or they can invoke the
10th amendment and say, hey, you know, that law or something you
set up there? We're just going to ignore that and you can't
enforce that on us. And that's legal, I believe.
Well, I know they're having a big battle about that here in
California because medical marijuana is legal here, and
they've saved million guys have set up shop,
Pay man Obama was going to stop that stuff, man.
And, and they and the feds have been harassing these people. And
Obama has stopped the harassment, right?
No, the harassment continues. They keep getting no no,
wait a minute, Obama has said he's gonna stop it. It's just a
matter. He's already issued more executive orders than any other
president in his short term. Why does he just issue an order?
Stop it. Adam McCurry
John C. Dvorak bringing us is no agenda bringing you the promises
from the President.
And it says he s t o p as forwards it is for for six six
words by six letters I mean, six crummy letters stop it. Signed
Obama Stop
it. Let me give you one last bit because we should wind it up
we're on a high now and then really after the Peter or zag
story, you know what, what what left of the show? Was it really
to do? Since you have a, an interest in the state of
Washington now this is coming from Russian sources so take it
with a grain of salt. They do have video I don't know if it's,
you know if it's really current, but apparently, Russian coast
guard and naval forces were forced to sync the Chinese
registered cargo ship new star bound for the US Port of
Seattle. After it refused orders to stop and be boarded over
fears it was carrying a missing nuclear warhead from a Russian
Russian Topel an intercontinental ballistic
missile at a miss that story, because no one reports on this
and you were too busy trying to figure out how the guy's black
card could be refused like every other fucking journalist in the
world and I don't mean to put you down but it's the bad boy
Wait my bitch nigga by own damn fries. So I'll blog that as soon
as I find it. Send me a link.
Okay, well the video was pretty amazing. Because they blew up.
They shot at it and then it sinks bow first and
target practice.
It probably is. But that's kind of scary.
Yeah, you know, they probably call them up say hey, we want to
board and guess all those speak English.
Right now they didn't blow it out of the water. That doesn't
seem like a good thing to do if it's got a new con board. They
apparently shot 500 rounds into the bow and just got a hole in
it and then sank. But that's that's pretty scary. I'm missing
nuclear warheads. So this is the this is a Russian Russians
reporting this about their own Russian missing nukes booth.
Hmm. So that's not on this yet. So you didn't find that in the
Seattle. Wait a minute, let me get this straight. You didn't
find this story in the Seattle Times on the front page or the
post Intelligencer on the front page you found it in a Russian
newspaper
it was a call me me ask her to look at the paper
I can look at the papers online maybe it's in there maybe it is
I think it would be a bigger news story than just you know I
don't think we go around blowing up you know cargo ships left and
right I think it would be like you know be talked about
a little the Russians did it though. The Russians blew up the
cargo. Oh, the Russians blew it up because yeah, brushing off
the car. off off our coast. Let me see where it was it was bound
for Seattle.
Oh, I must have been off of Vladivostok or something.
It's probably closer to Russia was coming from China. I don't
have a
well, that's a scandal of who's headed to Seattle. No wonder
there's all these crazy Border Patrol guys up there.
Yeah, but they should. Well, you know, there is a, you know, the
whole Denver thing that we were talking about. There's
so we have to talk about that more on Sunday because I got a
buddy we got some good, some good information for some
people. But you know, that that that airports got eight layers,
it goes deep into the ground, and it's got weird shit going on
there told you
runways covered up but then But then there's some significance
there. And I'll look we'll talk about on Sunday, I'll look at my
links as well. But there was all kinds of stuff about China, and
that Denver would be the the front in the war against China.
You know, boo, boo you.
It doesn't sound right.
I don't get them all. I've never bought 1000 But I do well enough
for you to come back twice a week.
Yes. And I hope people appreciate this shows and they
give us some some encouragement by going to divorce.org/in A so
not to keep sending you know, begging for money, which is
we're going to have to do for the next year.
And and people out there listening to the show and you
listen for a reason. twittering and discussing and arguing about
me and Leo Laporte is stupid and useless. Okay, focus on
something important. Like like a sign that says making America
work? And give me your interpretation of that focus on
those things. The stuff the mountain that's right in front
of your eyes. What is going on? What does that mean making
America work? Do you say it like making America work or making
America work? Does that mean we have to work? Or is the machine
working?
How about making America work?
I'd like that one.
That'd be good with the big brother picture.
From the Ministry of Truth.
It'd be to just two sentences making America and then work
with an exclamation point.
Wow, fantastic. Now you got anything else?
No, I'm done. Really? That was good. I just wanted to get in
that thing about the, you know, these tax breaks for the rich
really bugs me?
Well, it's, you know, I can't parse it. And
by the way, Pelosi is a mouse that could get her kicked out of
office.
Pelosi is definitely running the show I saw on Did you see that?
Frontline documentary?
You've gotta watch it for me. Yeah, fine.
It's called inside the meltdown. And that I love that it was
really good. You see a powerful Pelosi is. Yeah, she's very,
very, very powerful.
Yeah, she could probably shut down the show.
She or Jackie Smith, over here. The secretary of the home office
could easily shut us down. So enjoy it while you can.
Yeah, and remember short term thing for all we know and
remember to bullets to the head cannot be suicide.
Just in case you need to know that.
Hey, John. That was fun.
Yeah, it was fast. Was a faster Well,
we're ending about 15 minutes earlier than normal. So we'd
really have to try and keep it under 131 23. So that's not bad.
You're going to the office. What are you doing?
I have to go do the tech five. Top five. The office. Oh, cool.
Okay. He made me laugh on last week's I gotta say you got
hookers in there. That was pretty cool.
Oh, yeah. We tried to get that in once in a while. That was
fun. Did
I pimp you out, man. I'm up. Oh, today. Oh, good. Yeah. Thanks
for watching. Appreciate it.
I watched it. Most of the time. I don't watch it all the time. I
watched the one yesterday. It started off with something and
then there was another
something else. And it started today. I've got Obama's elf.
That's really funny. You
got to look at that. Yeah, we have it on the blog. That's
where I got it from.
What do you think as source material? Yes, highly
appreciated. Coming to you from the crock pot commands command
center and get mo nation Eastern southwest London. I'm Adam
curry.
And I'm in the buzzkill command center. And much more important
in northern Silicon Valley, also known as California. Get mo
nation West. I'm John C. Dvorak
will talk to you on Sunday right here. No agenda
