Adam curry, John C. Dvorak Time again for the team unofficially
known as the G to fighting disinformation and lunacy all
across Gitmo nation. This is no agenda from the crackpot command
center burrowed in the southwest quadrant of Gitmo nation east.
I'm Adam curry,
and from the Silicon Valley north and why am I shouting? I'm
asking the other guy. I'm John C. Dvorak. Greg Vaughn and
Buzzkill. Excellent.
We did a good one.
That was well you know, once in a while you can hit it hit the
thing.
That was one of the better ones. Yeah. Hey, John.
Actually, you know that one of that first time you thought that
we blew it? I listened to it was one of the better ones to early
on a couple of weeks ago.
It's a beauty is in the eye of the beholder as always.
Well, yeah. And depends on what you're looking for.
Ah, boy, it was I was reminded
listening to you go on and on. I'm reminded of the old you
know, why am I shouting? Dana? Carvey bit. Yeah,
the puka news guy. I have Shep Smith. Everybody. How you doing?
Oh, Winamac I gotta turn my control panel on. It's on.
There you go. Yeah.
That was kind of weird waiting for you. First of all, we moved
our clocks. We sprung ahead last night or early this morning. So
we're now back to the eight hour time difference between Gitmo
nation east and get my nation West, which
is a shame we use. Wait a minute, that was spring back
fall forward.
No, it's fall back, spring forward. Don't make no sense of
spring back. You spring forward and you fall back.
You spring back? Hey, guys, spring back.
Oh, you know, you spring forward.
But why would they come up with this crazy thing? Because it's
very confusing. You can spring back, you can spring forward,
you can fall back, you can fall forward. But it's so how did
they do all your spring back and fall forward and fall back and
spring forward? The whole thing never makes any sense to me. I
always have to look it up.
And now back to real. It's spring forward,
fall back. That's what you say. Yeah,
that's what she said. Oh, wow, I gotta play you. I only have one
or two sound clips since we had
more. Yes. We do apologize to you people out there who got
sick of our sound clips. Yeah, people did get kind of sick of
that. There's the we'll just keep it to a couple maybe well,
they need to do them.
Well, there is a very funny one. In this happened, it was I think
was State Senate, listen to this interlude between I'm sure you
must have blogged this now that think about it. On it loaded up.
I hadn't actually planned on playing this. This is between
Senate budget chairman Kent Conrad, if you know who he is.
And good Senator Chuck Grassley. And it's going to be
your item that we're dealing with. And I'd like to suggest to
the Chairman, that he might want to support this because you
remember you asked me two years ago not to take a vote on it.
And you said that if we did take a vote on it, you might not get
your budget resolution adopted. And so I did not ask for a vote
on it. And you said it was a very statesman like things. So
this is Grassley right here to do at that particular time. And
so I would hope you would return the favor. Check it out. You
know, I used to like you let me just say you are good. Your wife
said the same thing.
I love that. Your wife said the same doing stick doing stand up
in the Senate I mean, that's funny. That's the kind of humor
we need a lot
more of. Yeah, that's pretty good.
Oh, hold on a second John. For someone like a bunch of drunks
these guys. For some reason we were off. Oh, hold on. What's
going on? Why is this the stream? What the hell is that
logging in? Wow, man. Anyway,
keep going well, stream missed that great material. Yeah,
they're gonna have to listen to the Oh, horrors. They're gonna
have to listen to the podcast.
It's funny. So you're gonna get the stream back up the stream,
you know this. And I think it's interesting that I ran into a
guy the other day who, you know, saw me roaming around town. And
he said that he listens to the show religiously. On the stream.
Yeah.
Who is this guy I know, or is this just
a strange backup? Just just To miscellaneous fan Well, let
me tell you what I feel is happening now. So you have no
agenda stream.com And we used to only turn it on when we did the
show, if there is something going wrong with it, I don't
know, anyway, people are just gonna have to It's a bummer
because what happens is now that the stream is up 24/7. Or it
used to be until the until we actually started today's
episode. It was up 24/7 it because I it's not just a
playlist of songs. I mean, there's a lot of stuff going on.
There's when you when you Twitter into no agenda stream,
then it reads back those tweets. We've got real news headlines
coming through that are Yeah, it's auto generated by by a
computer. But it's it's news coming through Twitter, which is
what I like about it, because Twitter is turning out to be
this amazing news source. And then I was even programming some
stuff in yesterday when the G 20 protests, which of course the G
20 doesn't kick off until April 1 and second here in London, or
the City of London, I should say. And you know, so this idea
of hashtag tracking. So you know, you and I have I have a
beautiful customized version now. In fact, you can emulate
that. And if you've seen Twitter fall, John, have you heard of
the No,
I I'm very shallow and it gave me I use Twitter, I have a lot
of people to follow me. I'm not into all the yet. I might
eventually into all these ancillary little gizmo like
probes.
So what's cool about Twitter foul, is you put in some
keywords that you want to track. And it just gives you a
scrolling list. And you can determine how fast you want the
list to scroll. And you can do some, you know, some it's
basically a filter of the entire Twitter. I hate saying it but
the entire Twitter sphere. And it's, it has so much mass at
this point that I was able to follow four different groups
yesterday through London, some of it with pictures with GPS
locations, because you can also broadcast that through Twitter
as a part of the metadata with each tweet that you send. So it
was fascinating. Following the news and all that was on BBC and
sky who did have some on location reports were like the
same incessant over and over the same helicopter view shot, you
know, there was nothing really new or fresh or accurate or
current about it. And using the stuff that I've hacked up
personally here at home to track it was beautiful. It's a it's a
very, very interested I would have to say news medium is
coming really close to being that and it's all in the
interface, you know, while people are using it to keep
track of Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher. You know, it's equally
as interesting to track what people are saying around the
world who have grabbed onto this meme of, of, of using, you know,
tags, the tags that to tag their information. I'm loving it. I
really am. It's I was late to this party, but boy, I'm trying
to grab it with with both hands. So
you're actually early to the party. But didn't you slacked
off? Well, I
didn't do anything. It wasn't about the following. I didn't do
it. Yeah, just wanted to figure out what the hell was going on?
Seems to me to be what you know, you have people like Dan
Gilmore, all these other a lot of people that are Jack Murphy,
pundits, they sit around privatizing, right, and they
never actually, you know, they never accomplish much, but they
make these, you know, assertions. And there was this
thing a couple of years ago about citizen journalism, and
then everybody who, you know, what they did was they took the
idea of citizen journalism, and then put it back on the but the
problem they make is, they always put it back on an old
model. So they figured citizen journalists are gonna go online
and start blogs and they're gonna, you know, solicit just to
it was just old, you're just like, essentially, the kind of
the newspaper model that wasn't going to work as in other words,
you're going to be out there writing for free, nobody
considered this what you're describing, as what citizen
journalism actually becomes, which is a completely new system
where in other words, there's no stories. You know, there was
citizen journalists, all of that just citizens out there, we're
gonna go out and write stories and stories, of course, that are
something that go into newspapers. So everything is
like seen as some old you know, you take the old model, and then
you get pulled one element out and throw in some new idea. It
doesn't do that. It comes in becomes its own thing. Exactly.
And you can't predict it, who knew
now? Precisely, and it's because of the critical mass based upon
the celebrity hype that everyone's on this thing. And
thank God thank God, it's the the beauty of 140 character
limit, it just makes it beautiful. So you can parse this
thing and I'm building parsers controls that you know, if
something comes in something, you know, something, I am so
lucky, I'm really into it. but not for the hay. Well actually
part of the part of the beauty is that people are saying hey
I'm walking here I see some people protesting that's a raw
data point that put together can create a beautiful story
and it's beautiful. So not to not to beat it up because you
know everybody moans about you know they do the you know Leo
show and we are they talk about Twitter incessantly yeah and
yeah but in a different way that they're talking about it as the
as the the broadcast communication medium who has
more followers, which is a very valid conversation, but
something happened I have to give Dave Winer props for this
because he sees it I read his blog scripting.com Even though
we don't really see eye to eye and have scripting histories.
You have a scripting.com
is the website it is yeah, I don't know. Yeah. Scripting news
is the name of you don't see eye to eye nobody does.
Well, it's really it's really a shame. You know, because I'm a
dick and he's an idiot, you know, that's we can't really get
together right? You know, I'm a horrible person and he's
mentally insane. You know, that's the way we categorize
each other. It's too bad because the combination we have come up
with some good stuff
put the two of you together. We have a small a mushroom cloud
over there
over Oakland and Tesla will be nothing compared to us. Just
staying on the G 20. For a moment because the protests did
indeed start pretty much a week before anything takes place and
the G 20. Summit will be taking place in the city of London
out no Kelly explained that you know a lot of people out there
don't want to wait 2080 know
what the city is? Yeah, I'm glad you asked. The City of London is
kind of like the Vatican It is its own entity. It has its own
mayor has his own police force its own fire brigade own laws.
And it has its own laws indeed. So you want it very
little city within within we think of as London America, si
la or London or coming to London is a big giant town. But the
City of London is a little enclave within the larger London
sphere.
Yeah, yeah. And so you got to be very careful what you do there
because, you know, it's basically their own private
police force. And they look kind of like, regularly different to
you, they do look a little different. So so people are what
is
the way that what is the point of the City of London? Oh,
well, being the financial capital of wealth, they would
like to think the world and I and I would have to say after
the after all, the regulation of for it near the IPO market
definitely moved to the UK after what's what's your favorite
regular?
After echoing thing when I say that,
try it again. Hold on a second. Yeah, I'm ready. Go ahead,
Sarbanes Oxley.
I don't have enough hands to control everything that is
necessary for the show. We have some new jingles by the way from
the fabulous Jeff Smith who, who donates to the show in his own
way. And I think it's a fantastic contribution over
here, nothing to see. Look at that. Couple more, which maybe
I'll get to during the show. So anyway, the point of that, of
course, is to have complete control over the financial
industry, with its own rules, its own regulations. And there's
the equivalent kind of a gate around this thing.
You know, this would be like, like in New York City having
another town within Manhattan.
We're having Wall Street being its own street. Yeah,
its own town with his own police and its own, you know, you can
you know, that kind of thing.
Here, well, well, the fractal is of course coming now that we
know that the Freedom Tower has been renamed to One World Tower
could await me You kidding me to get any more obvious?
How did I miss that?
Well, it's real news, John. I mean, why why would anyone
actually want to learn about that? No, this is this is this
is this was a new story that was carried fairly wide, widely.
Freedom towers,
the tower they're going to build where the twin towers are built
where blowed up? Yes. Because I guess he addresses One World
Trade Centers is the address. Yeah, so they're calling it one
World Tower One.
I mean, you can't get more blatant than that. You know what
I'm saying? It's pretty good. Yeah. It's like, you know that
there's a group of guys going look at what we did now.
No, I know, there is. Of course, we I've been in those groups.
Sure. You have not that group. Okay. You are like groups that
have a similar kind of a sixth sense of humor.
What kind of struck me about these? So back to the city of
London, these protests. So what's happening is we have the
G 20. It's the 20 biggest economies of The world and to
others the Netherlands is joining as well of course
because they are the Bilderberg founders, so they're always
allowed in but it's and forget who else is one other country
that's allowed in. And and at this meeting, and we don't
really know what's going to be discussed, of course, a lot of
talk now about the global currency g where have I heard
that one before? Lots of talk about the low carbon economy,
etc. So people were out there protesting. And as I was
following this on in my Twitter news system, the the main meme,
which I believe was organized by the unions who are responsible
for some of the march yesterday was jobs, justice and climate
and the dichotomy, the dichotomy of people protesting for climate
change regulation to the G 20. Just twist my mind in
unbelievable knots. This is exactly what they want you to
do. They want you to buy into it.
They obviously the protesters have been co opted, yes.
By and I believe this is what I could tell from the union. Oh,
by the Guardian. Oh, man, they they were they were broadcasting
live streaming live live reports. Oh, geez. So worse. So
you know, be very And so along with this came something very
dangerous that I that I want to talk to you about because you
can always put my brain jumble into perspective helped me
straighten things out. So yes, I'm admitting it. So for the
past couple of days, fliers were being handed out news reports
saying if you work in the city of London, if you are in the
banking or financial services industry, dress down because you
don't want to be attacked. Okay? And and even the Financial
Times, the front page today. This is the weekend edition has
a picture of a guy in a black like a funeral Undertaker's hat
with a sign around his neck that says, Eat the bankers. And the
headline is Rage Against The banking machine, very hip, by
the way, how public anger spread around the world. This fractal
is spreading everywhere. John in the Netherlands, they had a
crisis meeting until one in the morning televised about two
bankers who receive bonuses, leaving the bank that of course,
was one of the bailed out banks. So it's a fractal of this. We're
really angry at the bankers. Now, here's where I want it.
Here's what I wanted to get to with you. It's been on my mind
for 48 hours straight. I'm sure you've heard the saying, where
it probably stems from the Second World War. First they
came for the gypsies and I didn't say anything, then they
came for the black people. And I didn't say anything. Then they
came for the Jews. And I didn't say and and they came for and
then they came for me and no one was left. Right? This the fact
and we kind of glossed over it on the last show. But the fact
that are US representatives who work for us, supposedly, have
you started to use the Internal Revenue Service as a weapon
against people against citizens as a punitive measure. So I'm
talking about a bill that passed the Senate immediately or the
house immediately to tax people making over $250,000, who
received money bonus money, from bailed out institutions to tax
them at a 90% rate. It took me a while to parse because of
course, internally, I'm going but then I'm saying Holy crap,
who the fuck is next? I have been assaulted by the IRS. I had
been assaulted by the by multiple tax institutions. They
were guns when they come into your office they are in my eyes
a terrorist organization who claim people to be guilty and
you have to prove your innocence which is exactly the opposite of
how it's supposed to work and they they sent into you while
you're proving your innocence by with all kinds of sanctions and
and penalties. Should we be not be very careful is not something
happening here where a group of people in this case not based
upon heritage, creed or religion, but based upon
occupation, are being vilified and singled out and
discriminated against should we not be incredibly careful about
this, John?
Well, if it wasn't for the fact that they're bankers,
yep. So replace the word bankers. No, no, no replace the
word bankers with Jews. It's the same thing. It's the same thing.
This is what happened in y Mar.
Yeah, yeah. The guy guy, the guy guys like you all worked up. The
point is what's really going on here is that they've created a
smoke screen for our bankers with his night just said like,
okay, the public's worked and they in Indo European countries,
they're actually people going out I understand this habit in
ink. Lenin. Yeah, he knew somebody winning cars throwing
key in there Cristalle type stuff breaking windows. Yes, I
want to break through
the walls when somebody here we don't, we don't really like that
kind of thing. So what we have to do is assuage the public. So
let's assuage the public by putting through some law that
is, obviously illegal, and is never going to fly. Because what
happens when you do this kind of thing, and it actually works,
and the courts don't say, Hey, you can't do this, which is
what's going to happen, by the way with this, okay?
That's your prediction, we'll see, we'll see. That's not going
to happen.
There's an impossible for one, completely illegal. And
secondly, everybody knows that there's two things that aren't
going to happen. This is one of them, they put this thing out,
we're going to charge and we get all our money back, because
we're going to we're putting a lot through that's going to be
90%. And everybody knows this was unconstitutional. And the
fact of the matter is, and everybody realizes, although
only a few people have expressed this you being one of them and
Rush Limbaugh, your doppelganger being the other one, much
prettier realizes Well, or triple ganger in his case. So
everybody realizes, you know, that what's really going on? Are
the powers that be know that is set up like this. This will calm
the public Dow. Okay. The bonuses will come back. In fact,
you know, Chris Dodd was the one who pushed the bonuses.
Yep. In fact, it turns out John, I also found out it's more like
400 million, not 180, just
whatever it is just, essentially it's a it's a redefinition of
salary. Yeah. Because what happened was they said, we
couldn't, you know, because we were going to take do this tarp
thing, you know, the salaries are going to be capped about
what are we gonna do to get around the caps. Chris Dodd
comes along and says, Well, here's what we'll do. Well,
let's just redefine everything as a bonus. And so people will
work on a certain basis, and then they get a bonus instead of
a salary. And so then you still get your million and a half or
$2 million, or whatever it is you get. Okay, so that goes
through, then the public finds out about his oh, let's kill all
the bankers and says, Oh, God, what are we going to do now? So
okay, I got an idea. Let's put this law together, it's going to
tax these guys for all their money. One of it will never get
collected ever. They won't. We won't collect a dime of it.
Because of course, if we actually could, then we could
tax the Catholic church out of business, or we could tax some
guy who voted against us out of business or we could tax the
city of San Francisco out of business, or we could just
target anybody we wanted and his tax Max,
the gays, there's a new slogan, tax the gays.
So the point is, is that this thing is, is it's just a red
herring. It's a distraction. Oh, oh, in other words, distraction
in the real distraction over here. Nothing to see. Look at
that. That's it right. Exactly what Okay, so
my point is, so you've almost confirmed my point. That was not
the hatred of the Jews, although different in Weimar Germany was
not not also a distraction. So people could focus on that,
while the real terror was taking place behind the scenes.
Right, but of course, in the meantime, they decided to put
these camps up because I guess a few guys took it seriously.
Well, this this this is obviously the danger of when a
few guys take it seriously.
Yeah, no, because there's a lot of dummies out there. So I
actually sure that you said I'm sorry, go ahead. Well, I'm just
gonna say I mean, just like the IRS thing I mean, there's a few
of those guys out there that are just they're just bureaucrats
that take things through I mean, this is like we you see more and
more of this you're seeing it in police departments we're seeing
it all over the place because we haven't had any situations where
you know people don't get to work for a living anymore
especially kids they don't get to when they're in high school
they don't get to work at a at a at a factory
well that's about it that's about to change John
The they don't get paper routes they don't get to do it. I mean,
if you go to these towns during the summertime just nothing but
kids roaming around you ask any of them what why don't you get a
job? I mean, it's not like you say it that way, but you've
talked to
them Yes, you do get off my lawn kids. Why don't you go get a
job?
Jersey, I don't have a lot. So the but I wrote a column about
two some years ago bitching about all the kids I saw in this
little town in Washington. And then I got a bunch of letters
from these same kids and said, Look, we can't we get a job we
could there's nothing going on. I don't want to you know, the
only thing is minimum wage working, you know, some you
can't even get those jobs because there's not that many of
them. The point is, is that you never got enough work experience
as a young person to learn the ropes about you know, what you
take seriously when you go by the book and when you don't, all
these kinds of things that you're supposed to know, which
is now you know, yeah, there I see the rule there, but I'm not
going to follow that is stupid. And you know, there's this it's
the old story. You seen a lot of old movies from the 40s and 50s.
Where they were you got the guy who's the eighth hole is the guy
who goes by the book, every single thing that's in that law,
you follow it to the letter, that's the way it's done. We
used to have a post guy postal guy here in, in in the town I
live in and it's like, it was a small post office with one guy
in it him and he was obviously some ex go by the book, you
know, low level car clerk type I want to go in there to pick up
stuff that was left at the post office for 20 years he knew who
I was and every time now your ID
ID ID I was vice betta your your ID
your ID sir. You know okay yeah Hear hear see you've never made
me you can recognize me next time I come in and it was our
guardi shirt. Anyway the post office is always a dud they
finally took him fired or guy he retired for god knows what and
then they put in some the efficient you know, people and
the thing is I post office really great now I mean they
everyone's there fast and efficient, this guy was always
real slow. Well, they're gonna believe that that experience
thing where you learn, learn where you go, by the way. So
we're turning into the whole world's training a bunch of
bureaucratic numbnuts. who don't know, you know that and you
that's how you get into that situation. I mean, let's face
it, the German mess during World War Two took place after almost
a decade of nobody working and you had a bunch of people coming
up, you know, without any experience and they you know,
booked Alright, so So This is bull, right. But what is
happening now with the House resolution 1388, the so called
give Act. As we talked about on the last show mandatory
volunteerism is going to
which is another interesting violation of the 13th amendment
for slavery. So don't you think it's weird that the first black
president, we have reinstituted slavery? Look over here to see.
And it's what here's what's amazing, John, so what this act
would do, and this actually reinstitute the give act
reauthorizes, the National and Community Service Act of 1990,
they've been trying this for a while, apparently, and the
domestic volunteer act of 1973 would make any American I
believe, between the ages of 18 and 25. It would be compulsory
for community service. And this includes special zones where you
wear your uniform, and it's a special type of school. But
what's interesting is that I mentioned this to Patricia now
she has a whole different background. And you know, she
comes from she comes from the original Gitmo nation in Old
Europe. And I said, you know, so what would you think, you know,
this is crazy. And how would you feel if, because, of course, you
know, Christina may be living here, but if she's between 18
and 25, I'm sure they'll have a zone here and she'll have to go
on Saturdays or Sundays and wear her little uniform. And
an armband. Don't forget, and, and I'll bet you there's gonna
be armbands. But Patricia
said, you know, hey, that's not a bad idea, but good for these
kids. You know? And I'm like, yeah, the idea of, you know, and
this is, this is, this is the, this is my life. And so when I
gave up on it, really, I didn't argue with I just took it as
important information. Because this is how people get tricked
into these things. But before you know what, you literally
have the brown shirts operating. And there's commercials all over
the radio. I just heard one this morning on classic FM, which
Patricia always has upstairs, typical, they're targeting the
right people. If you see someone if you see something suspicious,
reported, and literally, if you see someone looking at CCTV
cameras, you should report them. You know, it's like we're
turning Oh, wait,
hold on a second. Let's, let's stop right there. If they're
looking at the camera, the cameras looking at them. Why do
you need to report them? The cameras sees them and they can
report them themselves. Let them do their own job. Well, thank
you for injecting some logic into the conversation. But
obviously, it's because there there is a need to create some
form of police state where we're all this is the and we're gonna
see
suspicious of each other. Yes, our
domestic.
You know, one time I was this was, this was, I don't know,
about two or three years ago. I'd like to Yeah, as everyone
knows, who listens to me at all knows, I usually have a camera
or two with me. And I'm taking pictures of everything. I'm just
kind of a photography junkie. It's like an addiction. So I'm
shooting so I documented the the entire trip from and I you know,
and so it was one of the things I do this all the time. By the
way. I've documented a number of these things I document like how
do you get from Manhattan to JFK using the the Long Island
Expressway plus that crazy little love free or not free
caster? is some sort of a shuttle that goes from prod the
Jugni, the Jitney whatever it's called. No, it's it's it's I
can't remember the name of it, but for some reason, but
anyways, no, it's it's a really modern a sub it's like a like an
elevated train that goes from one of the stations. Think of
the name of it, the second to JFK drops right off at Terminal
six. And anyway, so I documented the whole the whole process
because the toughest part of the process is actually getting onto
the right train. On the Long Island Rail way out of Penn
Station, because you have to go down an extra level and you
can't find the tickets. And this is very poorly done to be honest
about it. But it's but it's a very cheap way to get back to
the airport and it's faster than the cap by a lot. And you get a
nice little train ride out of it. And anyway, so I'm taking
pictures of the whole process and some woman who happened to
be Indian, you know, is from India. I've taken some pictures,
you know, you can't take pictures. She just out of the
blue this woman she's not like a cop. You said that you can't
take pictures. Yeah, she's like telling me I can't take
pictures.
This is wrong. This is wrong. Do the accent man.
No, no. You have a real strong accent. So it wasn't like is it
not to be picture taking right now? No, you're not going to be
taken. So anyway, she told me to take pictures and I looked at
her like she was crazy. And I said and I just I didn't even
say anything back to her the
only the only responses you should not be polluting the
earth with your carbon dioxide. Shut your trap.
Yeah, well, anyway, so but I was just stunned by some, you know,
citizen, you know, but again, you know, from from a cultural
repression, generally not as bad as Europeans, like making the
joke telling me what to do.
And by the way on the chatter cop on the chat room had no
agenda drop.com People are wondering who they is. And the
answer is Kurt Loder. Just so you know, you don't know who
Kurt Loder is. Do you? Know it's too bad? That's that old guy on
MTV who used to write for Rolling Stone magazine? Oh,
okay.
Yeah, no, I know. That's funny. He's the guy. But anyway, so
that's all I
got. Try anyway, train train woman picture. Yeah.
I got the whole thing documented, but I'm stuttering
and stammering because I'm just just, you're outraged. You were
outraged by it? No, no, I was actually stuttering and
stammering because I was almost remembering the name of the
station that you get off on the is it in Manhattan at the
station? No, no, no, it's not on this on on the eye. It's out on
you take the Long Island Expressway out to Long Island
and you get on the on the Oh, man. I can almost think of it
dammit. Disconnected. Maybe somebody on Twitter can now it's
not just I'm just wonderful. I've thrown out words.
Keep those are my favorite words connected the
Poughkeepsie get off in Aurora. I mean, anyway, there's
tons of links, or there will be tons of links in the show notes
today at no agenda. dvo.com. I've collected a number about
this give Act which is as you say, it's unconstitutional. It's
it's crazy. And it's total indoctrination of well, it's
Gitmo nation. Of course. Can I am because we kind of got off
the G 20. thing. I just wanted to share something with the
audience which you can take for whatever advice you want it to
be. I had coffee earlier this week with Andrew Horowitz and
his son.
Oh, that's right. And by the way, I before we go into that
it's the Jamaica station. And you get and then you get on the
air train to JFK from there.
Okay, go ahead. In case you're traveling to the Isle of Man, by
the way, it is the way to go. How much you don't take a cat
never tastes faster. And they've trained at the Long Island
Railroad. He goes his Penn Station, and it runs about every
10 minutes. I mean, it's just amazing. It's like It's like
the Gatwick Express and the Heathrow Express. If you want to
get into London, hop that train 15 to 17 minutes and you're
you're in London, right?
And it's cheaper, a lot cheaper.
So we touched on and I went back to read the site. Because I
didn't realize and I'm just kind of replaying some of the
conversation I had with with Andrew Horowitz, the discipline
investor, you do a show with him, which is the D is it the DH
something D H M plugged v h unplugged? Exactly.
So,
this, what was the name of that site? Of course, now, I can't
find it momentarily. Financial stability.gov. So financial
stability.gov, which is basically an outline of a site.
It's it's a HTML page with a couple of links. But it has a
link to a very important PDF file. And that is this private
public investment plan that Secretary Geithner has proposed
to fix this whole mess. And there's a couple of good YouTube
videos explaining it I left those in the show notes as well
but but just let me explain very briefly and how we're going to
be and how this is basically the the big dagger in the back that
we've all been waiting for. So the idea is, new entities will
be created new companies who will buy the Who will bid on and
buy the toxic assets from these banks. So AIG would be a big
one. So they'll create a market price, which will not be 100
cents to the dollar, obviously, there'll be less. But they only
have to come up with 90, I'm sorry, 86, they only have to
come up with 14% of the money that they bid for these assets.
In fact, less only 7%, because you comp was, let's just say,
$100, you come up with $7, the Federal Reserve will match your
$7. And the Treasury, just like the Fed, by the way, but the
Treasury which is our money, taxpayer money will guarantee
the remaining $86. So these so again, toxic, toxic assets will
be purchased by new companies who have raised at least seven
for every $100 $7 themselves, the Federal Reserve, which also
of course, will create this money off of our back, but that
doesn't matter. It's for the upside. And so that they put in
$7, the rest is guaranteed by the taxpayer. So here's the
loophole and Horowitz confirm this Whitney, watch for
executives leaving these big companies right now. And it's
happening couple left, I think Citibank, a couple Left Bank of
America, you'll see more and more leaving, and where are they
going, they're going towards new funds that Creatio pursuing
outside interests, whatever the bullshit line is, they're
basically going to create these new companies. And they're going
and using money from their old corporate entities, which is
that's easy, you know, you can because those guys lend money
all the time, just not to you and I, the lender to this new
company, they then bid on the assets and say, Oh, well, we
don't think that's worth 3030 cents of the dollar, we think
that's worthwhile, that's at least 80 cents of the dollar,
that's really good stuff, you know, we can get that. So they
put up the $7, which they basically borrowed from their
old company, the Fed matches that $7 and the rest comes in
from the treasury, effectively taking the 100% exposure of
those toxic assets and transferring it to a new place
where no one gives a shit. And it's and of course, those are
those those assets are toxic, they will bust exposing the
American taxpayer to an estimated $2 trillion. Of
course, you know, I think it's much much higher, but there's an
estimated $2 trillion exposure and the FDIC will be the ones
overseeing these new entities well I give up i give up so and
you can read
it you should give up this is just a beat you down Well,
the thing is and and you know, as you said nothing to see here,
please move on. Everyone's focused on these bonuses kill
the bankers eat the bankers, but at the same time, the true theft
is happening. Almost it's spelled out even with these
numbers, we'd like to $7 $86 it guidance plan is written for
kindergarten kindergarteners, you can understand this link in
the show notes. So
by the way, your links in the show notes are fantastic you got
lots of them way too many but not too many. Well there was
it's like if you look at me oh my god. I mean it's like a huge
it's it's it's almost like Robo robot wisdom that site days one
guy has been doing for years a lot of really good links and
they're just lined up for their categories, the categorized so
well, they are categorized a little more than than they
probably need to be I mean, it's just I mean, I think people can
go there and just click click click click click and really
have a good time.
Here my categories get mo nation climate change aviation hot
category for today, financial crisis economy, bailout bankers,
Minnesota milk, which we certainly have to talk about
health shadow puppet theater, which I want to get to. And then
of course, everybody's favorite category. And now back to real.
We have winners, John. We have winners the winner. We have the
winners of the 2009 Hottest vegetarians. Oh, do we? Yes. Let
me send you the link. Oh, send
me the link. Yeah,
hold on a second. It is Fiona. You see the end this and I'm so
glad she won. Because
you have links to these winners, right? Yeah, here
it comes. I'm sending you the first one. I'm gonna put it on
this. Of course. Of course. It's always in the show notes. So
Fiona I think this is the one this is the one who was so weak
she couldn't stand up. Or this too when she looked at her ribs
man, her ribs are
down. She's like gonna die here. She's got two ribs all over the
place. This woman's got ribs coming out of
it. There's also one of the guys in the guide
category that ha she's kind of pretty in the one picture
in I'm lying down state, but she's got to
get a nice figure. She's got a sheet looks okay, that was the
last week. She does look weak.
And Ludvig Ludvig one. He's from Sweden doesn't look very
Swedish.
I don't think showing all those ribs is a positive.
I think it's a very bad thing. And I think it's bad because
this is what young girls aspire to.
And they're already there's a big trend that was there was a
good day here. I was getting my hair done. And when I should be
laughing. I didn't get a haircut for living. Just like I
had a visual. I'm sorry,
when I'm there. I'm just sitting there reading the National
Enquirer Of course. And now back to real. So they get there in
the National Enquirer, there was all these articles are this,
there's a long article about all these actresses and including
the girl that's under 30 Rock and a whole bunch of different
celebrities. They're all starving themselves to death so
they can get as thin as possible. Yeah. And it's like a
big trend in Hollywood right now just to lose as much weight as
you can. So you're like thin as a rail. It's
not like not like that's new John that's been around.
But it's like it's it's like an interesting counter trend,
because it was a big thing recently, if you don't if you
recall that, oh, we're gonna ban skinny models from the runway
and as you're getting ridiculous. And every time they
try to do that it never works out. You end up with you know,
people just don't want to look skinny.
So I have since my schedule,
by the way, I went to this other link this one here from
peta.org.uk. Yes. And they got the picture the same picture of
Fiona. Yeah, only she's like pulling her pants off. What is
that?
Well, because this is the it's kind of you know how they
promised the terrorists. 72 virgins. So if you don't eat
meat, you'll get this girl. That's kind of the message.
And yeah, more likely to get the guy.
He doesn't look very Swedish, does he?
He doesn't he doesn't leave where we're from Malmo. Who
knows. But there's the Swedes. I think that's funny. So he looks
like at least he eats.
Yeah, he does. He looks like he's probably he's probably on
the juice to man. He's probably doing steroids
might be could be on steroids. So he's definitely not on right
now.
No, and and she needs to she needs to have some. She needs to
eat some mash or something. She needs to eat some oatmeal at
least. So I was very excited. We had a another new chapter and
transparency. As the White House did its first online. virtual
town hall meeting. In fact, I harped about this on media
today, which is running throughout the weekend. Don't
bother looking at it. I know you haven't seen it yet. And the way
this works,
you do it on the weekend. Yeah.
At Work fucking excuse me. I'm trying not to swear, because I'm
hoping that we can get radio affiliates. So I'm trying to, by
the way, if you want to distribute the show, fine. It
doesn't matter. You can take it you can copy it, you can put it
on your own podcast stream, you could put it on your local radio
station, you're low at low power FM station. We're fine with
that.
It's open source radio source run. And Adam. That's
right. Oh, it's morning somewhere. So and that. So there
were these questions. And then the the final list of questions,
were the list of questions. And then people voted on the list of
questions. So that the President then could address these and
they had some people I mean, it didn't look, a lot of it was all
pre screened, basically. And stuff was set up in a certain
way that it didn't have the kind of live feel to it. Like we have
where, you know, the stream cuts in and out and it's all crappy
and shit. There was like professional. So there was one
question where there's one remark that the President made
about halfway through and I just want, you might have heard it
already. But I do want to share it because this is incredibly
interesting to me. Let me go.
We took votes about which questions were going to be asked
and I think 3 million people voted or 3.5 million people
voted. I have to say that there was one question that was voted
on that ranked fairly high. And that was whether legalizing
marijuana would improve the economy, wait for it and job
creation.
And I don't know what this says about the online audience.
So when I heard this when, and you had to see him go falling
and laughing first of all, the question was not just legal. It
was number it was the number one question for categories include,
including health care for medicinal marijuana. But for the
president, who was elected by an online audience who raised
millions of dollars in campaign contributions, apparently,
supposedly, allegedly from the online audience. This is an
absolute outrage for him to speak to the online audience as
if there are a bunch of frickin stoners who have nothing better
to do where their talk even starts off with this question
rank high on the list I can see that even wrote that. Let's slip
that. Let's slip that little joke in there. Yeah. So, you
know, and by the way, you know, a third of our prisons in the
United States are filled with marijuana drug. Criminals, you
know, we could significantly reduce our our prison
population, there would be so much to
do probably save about $3 billion a year in that overhead
and probably another we could tax you know, I of course, was a
specious argument against taxing this, but you could tax this and
pick up another number of billions of dollars in tax
money, and you decriminalize the whole scene. It's not going to
change the usage much. And meanwhile, meanwhile, and he's
also promised on the same
day, on the same day, John, another DEA bust in San
Francisco, of Emily's California Cannabis Clinic on Howard
Street, another bus going on while he's laughing at people
thinking about the audacity of of wanting to legalize
marijuana. But as I said before that city of dope, as I said
before, it will not happen, because first of all, the
President knows as everyone let me finish it, I don't care what
you say, listen to me, listen, look, let me be clear book.
Because that the real economy runs on drug money. And they
need that money flowing through the economy. And they don't want
our drugs the drug of the people, the weed which you can
grow in your backyard competing with the drug grown in
Afghanistan 90% of the world's opium trade coming from there,
which our troops are there to defend. Anyway. So then Robert
Gibbs, because this is where it gets interesting. The Press
Secretary, he's asked this question. And his response is,
is even more insulting the online town meeting? So this is
a question from one of the reporters, you know, where they
sit and Helen sits there as Guy Gibbs sucks heat? Well, it's
beautiful to listen to him. Here we go.
When the President said he doesn't think legalizing
marijuana would give the economy a boost. Was he giving a
political answer or an economic answer? Great
question. I mean, it's not a great question or not?
That's a great question. Okay. This
guy, by the way, I won't play the whole clip. But he comes
back later and says, you know, you may be making a joke out of
it. But it's a serious question. So here's the answer. economic
numbers
to back that up. I'm, I'm unaware of CEA analysis
regarding that,
so he's saying I'm unaware of I guess its Committee on Economic
Analysis or whatever CEO what it is? Yeah. You know, no one's
done any analysis on it. I think
was he picking his nose?
Think you've heard the President talk about getting us on a path
towards sustained economic growth? I don't think he
believes that. That is part of that plan.
I think the just I'd point you to the Justice Department on
Oh, you mean the Justice Department who was raiding
medical legal medical marijuana medical marijuana dispensary to
say, yeah.
The President asked people to ask their questions. Obviously,
interests aligned with certain viewpoints did so in the
interests aligned with certain viewpoints.
You stoners.
I can't even listen to it anymore. But it's of course
not. But you know, by the way, there is a Gibbs is a is the guy
who remember there was where Obama had made some comment
about, you know, being a Special Olympics, assaulted a bunch of
people. And then I guess some there's a bowler out there who
has like a 200 average who says although even though Yeah, he's
just barely, but he's a really good bowler and I actually used
to bowl with guys who had various ailments that would dig
ball really weird, but they would hold these great games as
amazing. And so I guess this is boulder that has a pretty high
average and he challenged Obama to a game. Yeah. Okay, you know,
and that became a big issue. All the people wrote it up, and they
brought it up at the press conference. And then somebody
asks him, what is Obama going to do this? Play the bowling game
down in the White House, the White House has a bowling alley,
and the White House bowling alley and Gibbs says No comment.
While he's saying no, no comment to that because he's a douche.
He's a total ask. Worst guy.
Yeah. Well, the whole Special Olympics calm Amen. I was okay
with because I understood what he was saying. And can we just
not get offended for a moment about stuff?
No, I agree with the fact that gives us a no comment as though
it was some sort of that's a fence secret. Yeah. By the way,
the right wing radio talk show guys have have have given Obama
a moniker that is kind of catching on. It hasn't quite
totally caught on, especially with the public, but they call
him giggles giggles President giggles and because he giggles a
lot when he's on. He did all these talk shows and you guys
giggle a bit. Yes. True. And so they're calling him giggles. And
it's it's interesting because it keeps cropping up and I think it
did catch.
giggles I don't like it personally. You wouldn't. I
don't think it's, Hey, we've got some some speed happening up
here and get my nation east as there's a huge push for a couple
of things. One, of course, would be the European union elections
scheduled for June, as well as this important document that
needs to be signed and ratified the Lisbon Treaty. Of course,
one of the one of the last countries and all 26 member
states have to sign on the Czech Republic since since the
President of the Czech Republic said hey, you know, I don't like
this. I don't I don't think we should be signing this. There's
too much power. We don't want this European army. This whole
thing ushers in the climate change, which I don't believe in
either. He said I'm probably not gonna ratify this. So they
basically toppled the whole government around
this and the Russians are watching this going my god is
that is it that easy? Why years ago,
they just send in the jackals and you know, and they just pull
that shit right out from under him.
pull the rug out from under your out buddy. And the fellas are
duly elected.
Get out. So the fractal is apparent everywhere the EU
customers are going and this is an I'll get back to the
elections in a moment the EU customers will have smart energy
meters in their future that will and it says and this is the EU
Observer observer which you need to read from time to time EU
Observer observer.com We will indeed have smart meters they
are will be mandatory. In fact, it will be a crime to not to
have your smart meter installed, it will be a crime. So basically
now information from inside your house go straight to the
government and it even says here. They've introduced
provision to fight energy poverty. When gas and
electricity bills eat up so much of a user's income they cannot
afford other basics. So the government will start to
regulate all this for you and we'll help you turn on your
lights at appropriate times and help you wash at appropriate
times and maybe shut down your shit altogether at appropriate
time. Yeah, it's
gonna be we have a violator on meter section 106 meter
immediately.
So I've got you've got to see some of these billboards for the
EU election. I'm going to send you this link right now. It is
too funny for words. So it's once again built for
kindergarteners. graphical elements here it is for the
attendees. These links of course are all in the show notes. Just
have a quick gander at this John just so you could stay so and
these are postcards that you can download print out and and use
yourself
as you might as well.
So scroll down to the bottom there's four postcards there's a
picture of a laptop on the left and a bottle of baby milk on the
right and then the scars attack is a campaign how should we help
balance family and career my favorite is how much labeling do
we need just look at the chicken with no labeling and then shown
on the right with a million labels all over which of course
is what they're advocating and then the far right one what
should cars run on and you see on the left that jerry can have
gas in the middle you see a battery like a double A battery
yeah run my car to double A battery and I'm it's what I want
and then what's the thing on the right like a bush of
I have no ro and maybe making the alcohol
but it's just amazing amazing like for idiots at the same time
again from analysis from political
energy do when we have a thought of flame we have a son we have
the radiation symbol and in a wind turbine
so here's what they're doing to really get garner a lot of
support not just four
Wait wait wait stop all postcards in jpg format then
they have them in all languages. Every German Lithuanian there's
a Dutch poll Polish Portuguese, Romanian isn't a beautiful,
unbelievable.
So in order to get people to buy into more European Union more
global state they are the parliament. European Parliament
is voting now to hand out food to the poor. But of course you
have to Pledge your allegiance to the European Union before you
can eat.
Wait, say this again. You have to Pledge your allegiance to the
European Union before you can eat it.
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, you'll have to, you'll have to go to certain
Well, I mean,
you don't really have to pledge you want this hot dog.
You have to read the pamphlet. You gotta read the pamphlet
first. And then you get your hot dog or your your wiener and
sauerkraut as the as the situation may be.
Could be in Germany,
in in the Netherlands also these meters coming and this will be
the Netherlands is already in the process of implementing the
black GPS box in the car. FYI. They're much further along. So
it's all these fractals popping up all over the place. Now a
German had to foil my friends lead foil buy it while you can.
So the German government had already said hey, let's get a
bonus going for people who scrap as in trash. They're
environmentally unfriendly cars. Now they're saying we're also
going to hand out bonuses for scrapping old office furniture
and coffee machines. It's it's it's totally out of control.
What have they got against coffee machines? Well,
they're unfriendly to the environment.
Because they stay on all the time and the coffee warm,
probably,
hey, maybe maybe the smart meters could could just turn my
coffee on in the morning. And so make sure that my coffee is
freshly brewed. I'm sure the government will be more than
happy to do that for me.
Yeah, you know, they probably will use that as a selling
point.
So reading through my Twitter fall of information. Throughout
the weekend, I follow Mrs. Kutcher. Mrs. K ut ch er Mrs.
Kutcher is Demi Moore on Twitter. Oh,
I thought it was Ashton. Well, that's her husband. Oh, no, it's
I thought he was Mrs. Cook Kutcher. No, he's okay, go on
whatever
he is. And all of a sudden I start, you know, because you
mutually miss these tweets. She'll send a couple of whatever
and so they scroll by and on Pay attention. But then I see a lot
of activity and you're like, Come on, let's do this. People.
We can do this. And like what what are we going She's totally
like, like, yeah, we can do this. Let's all join in. retweet
this this is to me more. Okay. One of the hottest actresses in
the world. Good actress to. It's for Earth Hour.
Oh, yeah, that's that was all night and I missed it. Isn't it
today? No, no, it was Saturday night. I'm sure it was I
thought it was I thought it was 8pm. Tonight? Well, I use 30 a
30. Earth Hour. The idea is we're going to shut everything
off for an hour.
That's such because, you know, I wanted to look across the bridge
and see if the San Francisco is going to be shut down. And
because I know they're going to turn off the Bay Bridge lights.
Yeah, Earth Hour. I know.
Let me see I have a link here us that he's poised for Earth Hour,
Saturday night, yet one hour, so we missed it. Am 8:30pm to 930.
And this was this is you know, this is a feeble attempt. Not
just feeble, it's an idiotic attempt to bring global
awareness to demise. Climate change, whatever it is. This was
infuriating. It was
so feeble that I will plan to actually plan it and do it and I
couldn't even do
it. It's it's the week leading the feeble we can't even make
that work.
Even the simplest thing, I was gonna go stand on the balcony
and look at San Francisco. Napa. Was the lights going off? You
know if there were I don't know.
I want to apologize. But a camera I want to apologize
everybody who's having problems with the stream? It's I've no
idea what it is. The server guy says that your bitrate is wrong.
No, the bitrate is.
Let me just double check. Adam needs to drop his up. No, no,
no, it's
64 kilobits. It's everything's the same. Nothing's changed. And
I've noticed problems. It's the streaming server or whatever,
you know, it's someone's bandwidth, his host somewhere
and
now they finally they've heard They're on to us.
No kidding. I want to ask, certainly our UK listeners you
can get my nation East. I noticed something weird. And I
wonder if anyone else witnessed this. We had some form of either
a spike and electricity spike, or I'm thinking maybe a magnetic
or solar wind or something happened. It screwed up just
about every single electronic device in my house, most
noticeably. The Digital Sky TV satellite box
was this at 930 last night
No no, no,
no it was Friday it was
through the switches back on it just oh
no, no, no, no it was not last night it was two days ago.
You know there's deals where people all flush the toilet at
one time and it
blows up the the pipes now also, all of the Freeview televisions
that we have which are digital television recorders free over
the air were
just they were locking and they were they were putting those
systems in place my printer
reset itself to January 1 1907.
That was that was a bug.
So a lot of it was really weird. I want to know, I wonder if
anyone else had similar problems. I just thought it very
typical. Just
you just be there after be a good name. Hold on. Wait, we
were getting a message to get him off this topic.
I promised I wouldn't talk about it anymore. But I'm gonna have
to rescind since there's new information from the world of
aviation. Of course, I'm referring to flight 1549. Two
pieces of information reached me which kind of complete some of
my theories. The first one is that well, it kind of flows
together. The there's a photographer named Steven Malin.
And Steven took a number of a series of pictures which he
actually plan to publish in a book of the salvage operation of
flight 1549. His pictures were extremely good, mainly because
they focus on the front of the aircraft as being lifted out of
the water in which by the way, you can see there's absolutely
no hull damage whatsoever. Only damage to one engine is missing
and one is clearly damaged, but no other damage at all, which is
quite amazing to fly into a flock of birds and only have
them hit your engine and nothing else. And they do dent aircraft.
He was summoned by the insurance company to take these pictures
down. At the same time, the insurance company said you do
not have the right to give those to the FAA the Federal Aviation
Administration. Guess which insurance company insured that
aircraft? John? Monsanto. No, try AIG. Yeah. So your
sense of humor today, really? AIG anyone who listens to the
show knows that's funny.
That is funny. I liked it. But I didn't have a rim shot. I can
give you a quick. Yeah, on the heels of this. The Federal
Aviation Administration does not want to release any data or
information about bird strikes, how frequent they occur, why
they occur. And so I did a little bit of delving around. So
there's one important thing you have to know, if you get a
double bird strike that is known. It is so rare. And in
fact, I can't find another instance of that happening. It
is known as an act of God. An act of God is a Get Out of Jail
Free card for the insurance company. Exactly. So I'm
thinking John, knowing that there were Bank of America
executives on board. Now I'm not talking about the 30 people in
the back. I'm talking about the guys in first class. And knowing
this AIG story, and knowing that Sully Sullenberger was paid off,
because that's you don't get a $3 million book deal of which
one is a book of poems.
Poems book is the giveaway, maybe Sullenberger, that's his
message to people, what can I do to least alert people that I'm
getting
paid off? So either Sullenberger was in on it from the beginning,
right, which somehow I doubt except for his radio call, but I
believe that these pilots are probably trained to call a bird
strike immediately. Because if you have a double engine
failure, you know, that's like huge liability. I mean, that
would essentially take the industry down. So there's a one
of two things is happening either Sullenberger was in on it
and this is a whole prep for the air airline industry who need a
massive bailout say because he also went to the Senate and you
this whole thing about well only because of guys who are as
experienced as I am, you know, in our industry is going to shit
no one's paying the pilots enough. So you can see lots of
people dying because Sully is not on board. So either was a
setup to prepare everyone for massive aviation bailouts or
which was
confirmed by the way by the accident that happened a few
weeks later, which was the amateur behind you know, the one
that crashed with that took that one woman with it, you know,
that tech, continental flight, whatever it was,
oh, the buffalo, right, exactly. So there's your confirmation,
very good your confirmation, and they almost had that DJ guy on
board to make it even even more of an Amy Winehouse story. So
they almost had that all setups Oh, well shut these guys had low
air time, you know, this is what the state of the industry is
about. So it's either that or the only other alternative is
someone shot it out of the sky. And we actually are pretty lucky
that this guy landed in the Hudson. And he knows that was
shot out of the sky just by nuking those two engines,
however, it was done. And this was his reward for not telling
everybody that it wasn't a bird strike one way or the other day,
the whole thing stinks.
And that's why he did the book of poems because there's this
poetic noticed, have you read his
poems? They're, they're beautiful. Anyway, there's
plenty of links in the show notes of these pictures, because
of course, this is the interwebs you can't you can't hide that.
It's good that you do these kinds of stories because it
sounds just crazy enough. That that takes again takes us off
the radar. Because Oh, brother, there he goes. And so you know,
you gotta be out there. I try hats. I had some. I want to
recommend people out there that you know that PG Tips gold. Yes.
Which is really good. If you can get some of this red tea girl
rousse bhios is from red bush and everybody loves
That's right, right boss is the original.
Anyway, you said to substitute it was used in Africa by the
British, they would need a tea but they couldn't find any.
Anyway, if you have like if you make a big cup of tea, and then
you throw one of these packs of the red bush in with the PG
Tips. It makes the tea it's like a natural. It makes a tea sweet.
It's really actually a combination. Wow, check it out.
You don't get you don't get high off of it.
I don't think so. Then why bother?
Oh, yes. Oh, gee, I almost forgot. We have another jingle
from the fabulous Jeff Smith shadow puppet theater. We have
another entrance into our shadow puppet theater category, John.
Okay. Well tell me all about it. Well, just so you didn't know
one of the people named to President Obama's new task force
on tax reform is a member of the Board of Directors of AIG. Wow.
Shadow. Mark Martin Feldstein welcome.
Back. We're getting back to that the story about, you know, your
concerns about the targeted tax and all the rest of it. Yes. You
know, one of the things that is going on and I actually talked
about this some years ago, in some columns about at some
point, you know, what's going on in Europe where they're tracking
down these bankers and key in their cars and protesting at
their houses and throwing bricks through the window. I think that
the the, the hyper wealthy the people who live in, for example,
in the San Francisco Bay Area, you'd have Hillsborough. You'd
have Los Altos Hills, maybe to a lesser extent. Atherton for
sure. I think they're there. There's a possibility to do you
have a real economic collapse, which this isn't that people
would rather go in there and ransack these these areas. I
mean, they're all in enclaves.
Oh, they can be totally ransacking where I live
your areas got one of these little enclaves of rich people.
Yeah, in fact
it's rich people Yeah. By all by all intents purposes, rich
people but by London standards middle class, it so
you want to target the you want to go after the
real race. Okay, so you want to go to Chelsea and Kensington
really Nottingham
now right and start throwing Molotov cocktails? Yeah, it can
happen
it's going to happen this is this is why I'm calling for
restraint because it's it's the wrong people. Yeah. It's amazing
when you see this Geithner plan that is intended to screw us and
that was on chuckle along no problem who eat the bankers.
It's it's wrong. It is just fundamentally wrong. And it's
because we're misguided and the government is out there pushing
us towards it.
Look, before we get I want to take a break here and talk about
a couple of donors that came in this week. We're going to talk
to we're going to do to call out in the 105 $50 people in a cup
coming thursday episode but there's we got two interesting
donations this week one of them for the exact amount I was
talking about 600 We only the guy took it to an extreme This
is Harry Sellwood Harry he, he sits given Harry and in the
morning Harry Sellwood. He sent us $666.66. And I think he kind
of missed the
Well, first of all we appreciate we appreciate the donation
library. But you know, I'd almost rather you send 60 wasn't
$666.66 because then you'd have two to two times three sixes. If
you can afford it,
well, if you can't afford it, you wouldn't so they
do $6.66 That's cool too. Or it's okay. Or you can just link
to our show. Or you can tell
if you go to divorce.org/n A and help us out and what's the other
red dress? You have? No agenda library.com Okay, now we did get
a $1,000 donation from John Holman, John Holman Wow, so So I
sent him home and I asked him about you know, he's a he's an
he's a retired investment consult Did
you see your site because I went to the site that was listed and
it was it's just a picture just a picture and then for email
links to each of the four or five each of the family members
so right
here used to be Wall Street apparently and he's what loves
the show, but I sent him well, you know, I asked him about you
know, being a hyper donor and what and he sent me a note back
which I think is worth reading and I think people should listen
to it, go for it. So the reason to do the big donation is to get
others to do the same I certainly appreciate the offer
of an in the morning, but I'm frankly I'm big I offered him
and in the morning he gave me a good one anyway Yeah, but I'm
frankly ambivalent at best about being called out by name unless
it helps to get the auction mentality going amongst
prospective donors. Whatever gets your induce your whatever
gets other enthusiastic listeners to give I think it's
absolutely critical to have intelligent skeptical thinking
like what you and Adam deliver so consistently, entertainingly.
And surprisingly, that's three. It seems like advertiser
supported media is diminishing, anyway. Yes. And then he says,
You just answer some other simple questions, but I think he
makes a good point. Very good point. Deliver a good product.
People should you know appreciate the fact that this is
extremely rare. Because it with the combination of you and
myself is unusual.
And do you find yourself waking up and excited about the show? I
have on the show today? I'm literally buzzing. Dick.
My wife's listened to the show last week. Oh, you're in
trouble. Now. What did she says? One thing she just got. She went
on a rampage about Michelle Bachman, which is who will just
to end this other thing I wanted. I do want to thank John
Holman for the for the $1,000 and anyone else who wants to
help us out at divorce.org/n A, or the no agenda library.com.
And if you send us $100,000, then you will get every show a
for a year I guess it is at least Yeah. Disinformation
minute and we'll read your script verbatim. You get a
little jingle let's do like a Jeff Smith makes for everybody.
So we'll pay him for that, obviously. But I agree with it
so much. We had this conversation earlier in the week
that really commercialism in media always fucks it up at the
end of the day, it always breaks it. And it makes it just
inherently uncool.
Yeah. And the fact is, we talk about getting donations for
about two minutes out of 100 out of 90 minutes, which is you
know, one minute every 45. And typical radio, if you listen to
talk radio, it's one minute or two minutes of talking. So every
two minutes, it is a whole minute of advertising. It's
ridiculous. It's it ruins the shows. And you have to keep
switching channels. I mean, I hate it. This is reason we're
asking for money. So we don't have to ever do advertising
except for that one minute thing, which we will do. But the
people will understand that that's never going to happen. So
and by the way, it would be a good CPM for anyone wanting to
do it. So anyway, it's a
great CPM. It's just you don't get it quite delivered the way
it's traditionally done.
Yeah, it's a little different. But anyway, so anyway, we're
trying to see if anyone can beat John Holman.
And we want to go to three days a week. And it's going to be
apps that were at a critical point for for three days a week,
you know that we really need money to do that. Because I
would have to give up other things for sure. And I know you
were John.
Yeah. So anyway, so my wife listens to the tunes in and she
hears the Michelle Bachman stuff and so she goes kind of nuts.
And so she did a whole bunch of research on it. She by the way,
she said to me, Well, I'm glad to see that you're as rude with
Adam as you are with the family.
Oh, that means I take that as a huge compliment. It was I take
that as a huge compliment. So you are actually it
is it is a complete insult because you're the one that is
rude. You don't get my jokes. You know, you're just
what do you what do you mean? I don't get your jokes. The funny
ones i laugh i get them I just don't laugh at all of them.
So anyway, I don't know where am I rude? Am I getting this?
Well at home you're apparently rude.
Well She says I'm rude on the show too. Am I rude? You say,
Oh, there he is. He's rude. That guy
will not. If you're rude to me, I don't I don't take it
personally. I don't take it personally, that's for sure if
if if you're being rude to me, I'd no problem here.
I don't intend to be rude to anybody. I mean, I find the
whole the whole assertion to be dubious. Maybe he you know, I
don't know. Maybe she's, maybe she's hypersensitive. I never
knew this about the woman.
God, this is a great show. It's actually changing your life. I
find that exhilarating. Yeah, I'm getting enlightened. So I
have not. I have not met Mimi, nor have you met Patricia. So
but we still have a Wife Swap show in mind. Yeah. Anyway, so
Michelle Bachman. So I did my research as
well. I get to start this. Let me go, okay. Starts with a guy.
This is what triggered I was talking to my wife and I said,
Well, this guy sent us his note. And then she went, my wife loves
going online and doing tons of research. She got a million
links, which I'll send to
you. If you just see me, vi gram, you're doing research I'm
doing
John Christopher, Christopher Chu census census, this note.
And I argued when I was talking to my wife that this guy's he's
just he's just obviously a knee jerk, who is just, you know,
just spewing this hatred to Michelle Michelle, without any
attribution. So my wife went and got the attribution. Let me just
read this. I was listening to your last no agenda show in my
car driving down one of the many potholed roads in Minnesota. I
mean, when you talked about Michelle Bachman, I nearly drove
my car off the road. Michelle buck is a shill for the
Republican Party and is batshit crazy. This woman was running
practically uncontested for her representative seat last year,
she decided that a good political move was to go on
hardball and suggest that Barack Obama was a terrorist. She
nearly lost her seat to a guy named tinkle Berg. The woman has
quite a few screws loose. I think there are better pickings
for Adam to have his milk obsessions over otherwise good
show and keep up the good work.
All right, so let me respond to this. So I too, I really knew
nothing about Michelle Bachman, other than this one piece of
video where she's questioning the Secretary of the Treasury
and, and of the Fed Bernanke, the chairman of the Fed Federal
Reserve, about the guidance plan, which he nailed right on
right on the money saying, hey, the taxpayer is going to be
responsible for 90% of this. And they get they don't get 90% of
the upside. Can you confirm and of course, he was cut off by
Barney Frank. And in that particular shot, I have to say
she looks really, really good and MILFy her hair is done
differently when she has her hair down. She looks kind of
witchy I have to say but anyway, that's regardless. A little bit
of that. That's, that's the irrespective of that. So this
woman, I could be married to her. And it's and you know, I
looked at the Keith album, The countdown piece, you know, what
she was doing was repeating things that we've discussed on
the show, but she was doing it in a in a way that people
categorize that white people categorize me as a crackpot.
That's why she's saying the exact same things. In fact, I
put a whole bunch of links in to this actually a radio interview
that she did. And you know, she's she's completely on to the
to the climate change scan. You want to hear that for a second
just the way she debunks climate change. You can get an idea of
how she how she talks. So just taking a second I gotta forward
to like, Thank you, Brian, the elder I gotta forward to she she
goes on radio shows. She has a site. She calls herself a
foreign correspondent I love I love this woman. And the things
that you know, if you really listen to what she's saying,
it's exactly the same stuff. People call me a crackpot for
here we go listen to this about climate change have read are we?
Well, this, this will be the this will be for the purchase of
energy. You're exactly right, because human activity only puts
about between three to 5% carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. The
bulk of carbon dioxide is produced naturally from the
ocean.
So so she's saying things that we talk about all the time.
She's onto the give x she says it exactly the same way but
let's not forget a she's a woman. b She's an attractive
woman. She's a Republican, which is really, really the problem.
But I like what she stands for. And if she does her hair right
and she pulls out that little Minnesota accent then it just it
makes me completely love her. And she's no more crackpot than
I am. She's just labeled that way by clearly from your email
and overzealous out of control Obama bot.
Here's the thing that bothers me about her. I am not disagreeing
with any of this except for the fact fact that she seems to be a
stooge for the credit card companies. She's gone out of her
way to support all their abuses, she's done nothing to stop it
every time a bill comes out, including a bill that just
passed as the House of Representatives, which, which
does very little more than saying you can't continue to
gouge the customers. In fact, there was an anti gouging Bill
she voted against. And if you start looking if you go to open
secrets and take a look, in fact, I sent you the links that
my wife came up with, if you go to open secrets and see who's
been funding her, you find out that it's, you know, finance and
insurance companies.
Sure. Right. And so in that regard, she's just as evil as
our president.
Yeah, but I mean, it's it's not something I'm going to fall over
myself for. But at the same time, I do think she's getting
beat up too much. And I obviously she, you know, she's,
you know, kind of an old fashioned I don't see as she's a
shill for the Republican Party. I mean, what now she is not
getting that
it at least she has a consistent message. And on top of that, she
has introduced a bill that would ban a global currency, I've got
to like the woman because she didn't get a straight it was
actually she got a very straight answer from Geithner, and from
Bernanke, when she asked them point blank, are you going to
introduce a World Cup? Where would you accept a world
currency? No, categorically deny it, then Geitner the next day is
at the Council of Foreign Relations? Why on earth he needs
to go there other than because they actually control him. And
he does a speech and he says, Oh, we're open to it. Yeah,
we're all options are on the table. So she's right in. So
yeah, maybe look, we're no one's clean. No one's exactly right on
the money, but to call this woman, a kook and a nut job is
unfair, because she is saying a lot of very sensible things. And
I believe that she might have just woken up all of a sudden,
has she been doing this forever?
I think we're seeing here just occasionally. But now that she's
got the spotlight turned on, I mean, Olbermann, if anybody has
given her the, you know, the spotlight and Olbermann, who's
who's a raving lunatic.
He is the he's a true lunatic. Absolutely. Oh, so unbelievable.
In fact, I just, I mean, Rachel Maddow looks like, you know, a
conservative Republican by comparison, and she must just be
just loving the old Berman's, you know, you know, constant
pontificating and going over the top because she's gonna end up
taking over that spot. And she'll throw him under the bus
in a minute. You can just she's just a classic broadcasting
person. And she's got her own show now. She used to be
part of the show, and she's got she comes on after him, doesn't
she?
Yeah, and she's the only way you know, she was interesting,
because I remember listening to Air America. Occasionally, I
listened to both everything. I mean, I'm not like radio, your
radio. Now your radio gray again. Listen to these guys. I
would listen to Air America. And some of the worst stuff was on
that network was like, oh my god, are you kidding me? There's
all touchy feely stuff and new age crap and all kinds of bull.
And she would come on it was like she was just a hardcore
political commentator. She was obviously hyper liberal and an
outlet, an outlet a lesbian who's out so there's no you
know, you can't accuse her of anything. Well, hold on.
Let's give her a little out a lesbian out in the morning.
She's a lesbian, and she's mixed. No, she has no qualms
about and she has a very strong but she's she's solid I mean
she's a solid broadcaster and I first heard her I said wow, this
is the one thing just give her the whole network she's the only
one on there that's worth that crap because she was a good
broadcasts everybody else was just amateur hour and so then
she gets a somehow sneaks onto Olbermann show before the last
elections and I started seeing her so I never saw her before
because I wanted to hurt her on the radio. I said oh, that's an
interesting person. And but she had she had the problems I
thought as a TV person, she has a smirk. That's really annoying.
I thought that she wasn't gonna she's got this smirk out a
little bit, but she's still she can't quite get rid of it
because it's almost like it's part of her face. And so she's
like the joke right? Exactly. So they played around with their
look a little bit so she doesn't look quite so extreme. And and
she comes off as an as a normal person after you listen to
Olbermann, who is just he's like he's angry. He's, he just hates
let's
pick a stick. So one more thing about Oh, two more things about
Bachmann. So in this in the New York Times, actually a link to
it of course in our show notes. Michelle Bachman says she wants
Minnesotans to be armed and dangerous for opposition to cap
and trade. I mean, she's calling for arms. I love this woman. I
just love her. I love her love. I love you Minnesota milk
was going off the road again. But
But what's interesting is that so the minister, she really
caught some some some traction with this anti global currency
bill. So immediately they turn on the harp machine. and they
and they give Minnesota and the Dakotas the worst weather in the
world. They're not they're not making. They're this they're
turning on
being shy. Ah,
AARP, it's hard. And by the way yesterday the protests in
London, she was there was I have not heard thunder like that in
years in London. These guys turn on the heart machine and rain on
their pipes
that serving assassin
Where do you think that phrase rain on your parade comes from?
From the evil overlords because they turn on HAARP they, they
can completely control the weather. I might want to remind
you, by the way, that is September 11 2001. Right off the
coast of New York was a gigantic, gigantic hurricane.
Then right after the planes, so called planes kind of so called
flew into the buildings and they collapsed. The storm went away.
You can see the radar images, it was the size of Katrina. Anyway,
so they control the weather. And now there's messing with her
troll the weather. Thank
you very much. Um, that saved the bacon for us. If you'd like
there's no way that they're going to put the bomb in the
plane we got it made.
Don't look over here. Nothing to see. Look back. Jeff Smith is
awesome. Let me just run through a couple things
about that. But that's another story. Oh, just Oh. Okay. So so
where were we before you went on
the show? Well, Michelle, Michelle Biden and the weather
and the harp H A R H A
RP go googling anyone's ever been online is run into this
bowl.
It's right next to Goetze
is go see.
All right, can I just run through a couple of get my
nation story since we're nearing the end. By the way, I'm going
to I'm gonna repeat the show on the stream from the from the
server and so people want to listen to it before the podcast
is downloadable. I have no idea. What's happening is this service
that I'm paying for is just overloading this the stream is
out of control 1000s of people trying to grab this screen
stream and I think that they they don't have me on the right
account or whatever. But it looks like
like well, let's call him that was the name of this company
that's ripped off for him cast
premium cast.com Papa Romeo India Mike, Charlie Alpha Sierra
Tango Prem cast. That's a bummer because I pay a lot of money,
you know, because it's a bummer.
So we were doing music I decided to do some I'll do some I'm
gonna do some some shows. Let
me let me mention this. So the stream which of course runs
24/7, except for now when we're doing the actual highlight of
the of the week. John put together an awesome show, but an
hour and a half. I think it was
almost two hours actually. 156
Holy crap. I wonder if I got the whole thing. Anyway, it's called
the Dvorak interlude, and it's row in rotation now repeat
repeats I think every after plays and then there's three
hours of regular play, listen, then it goes back so you can
probably catch it. And and I'll leave it in that rotation for a
bit. I'm hoping you're going to come up with with another show
for us, John, because I was away. I mean, you played the who
you put but you also played in jury in the blockheads My
goodness are like wow, you've got some chops, man. It was
really good. And you sound it almost like one of those classic
rock guys on W ne W. Where, you know, there's no sweepers, no
music, and it's like, Hey, everybody, you didn't do it.
Like I say, I think I did it. I did it. Hey, everybody. I gotta
get some jingles. Everybody. Devorah back here sitting in for
the Big Adam curry. I got some songs for you. It was good. I
loved it.
No, good. Well, we'll see what you think of the next one. When
I bring in some surfer music.
Ooh. Well, you played the contours got a lot of comments
about that. That was good. And of course, you know, we're we're
tracking everything so we'll pay our ASCAP BMI fees, you're only
you can only really do that legally on on a web stream. By
the way, there's no other way to do it legally. And it's not a
money making proposition. I can tell you that this right and no
way you can make money now. But there's no way that you can make
money you got to it's reasonable public
service, public service. We have the no agenda library.com and
divorce.org/n. A for people who liked this sort of thing. And we
actually when we get that thing completely loaded up with
material, which it'll be very entertaining.
And there's some good we got some presidential speeches on
there running from time to time we got some poetry slam poetry,
it is it's getting good.
But you also have the the mechanism where people can leave
a tweet, and then it gets put on the stream.
That's right. If you anything you tweet to no agenda stream.
We'll come back and be read by a robot voice by Alex the robot
voice within like 10 or 15 minutes, sometimes little
sooner. So anyway, I'll put this show on the stream because I can
just see Either it's skipping and it's sucking I'm sorry,
everybody, everybody. quick rundown of Gitmo nation stuff.
So, US Marshal found dead in Mexican canal. Okay. Spy
database to monitor your every move on Facebook and MySpace?
Nope, nope. doesn't fancy you. No,
no, no, I think this is this. This is disturbing. And of
course the Mexican thing war with Mexico that's going on.
That's why I mentioned it. Yeah, it's escalating and we'll have
to someone mentioned to me, it wasn't me. It was an article
somewhere that you know, the the President Obama said, you know,
we have to stop. You know, illegal guns flowing into Mexico
is total horse crap. Because if you're in Mexico, it's like,
these are unmarked, non serialized not that they're not
that they've been rubbed off or anything. They just are uncIe
realized guns like em sixteens ak 47 Is your guns that you
cannot buy in the United States. They're coming from China or
somewhere where they make rip offs. I guess knockoff guns must
be a big business. Net next Bilderberg meeting is scheduled
to be in Athens 14th through the 16th of May. That's right.
That's always fun. And the big news, which I'm surprised you
didn't bring up, John is it seems we're uncovering what ACTA
is all about. This is the I keep forgetting what the acronym
stands for. But it's the intellectual property law that
is being written globally and is so incredibly important and
important to our homeland security that it must be kept a
secret by our transparent government. So apparently, it's
all about the right and it will become kind of kind of like a
constitutional right for the government to look into your
computer or ipod or any other device and you've got to believe
that it's something that's going to be baked in at the at the
manufacturing end. And of course, this sparks a huge
debate whether that is legal or not.
Well, was it doesn't really
well no, unfortunately, no one gives a shit and they just
yeah, you go now you get don't look over here nothing to see
here. Look at that I'm
more about the volunteer is that that MySpace? Facebook thing is
kind of interesting. You should should definitely take a look at
that. There's also a fantastic site that I found John and
they arrested some 14 year old girl for
for posting naked pictures. Yeah, they arrested under child
pornography laws.
Yeah, she's she's apparently a pornographer. 14 years old
taking her own pictures. And they probably they weren't even
like pictures of sex or anything. It seems. Porn now is
just a you know, a picture of a girl in a bikini. Well,
were they naked pictures or bikini pictures?
No, there was they were semi nude. I guess there was a couple
of kids showing her something I didn't know.
She wanted her boyfriend to see it. That's why she put them
online. She was yeah, she was actually arrested. She was
actually arrested.
Yeah, arrested. And they're threatening her with it being a
sex offender. She's a danger to society.
When I was 1314 I was out there showing my bits to other girls
and they were showing me their bits.
You know, there's you're up you're obviously a
pervert. There's somewhere I heard the news coming through on
the no agenda stream. And I don't know where it was. But
somewhere there's a preschool that has a no touching rule.
Yeah, no, there's no it was a regular school.
It was a regular school. No touching really not allowed to
touch anyone. Yeah, it was in Jersey. We actually no, not in
Jersey. Please tell me it wasn't in Jersey. It was
it was someplace where the I have to look it up. But it's on
the blog. We blogged it. And it says you can't do high fives you
can't give hugs. You can't shake hands you can't touch and it
stems back and this is typical these this is again an example
of this, you know go by the book jerk offs that are out there.
You know everything it knows zero tolerance. It apparently it
stems from the fact that and I don't know how this qualifies as
touching. But it stems from the fact that one student apparently
just took out with all his might kicked another student in the
nuts.
Which by the way, has happened to me so many times.
Well, that's probably why your voice is so high. But anyway, so
I laughed at one of your dumb jokes. Are you happy now?
Yes. So So So because of this, that's somebody kicking somebody
in the balls as hard as they can. And Megan hospitalizing in
which is I wonder if I Now there's no touching you can't
touch you can't you can't you know, Pat, somebody on the back?
You can't What is it? What kind of maniacs are running these
schools?
It's little people who'd like to be politicians. Yeah, little,
little fooders. Do you see that map that I just sent you. I just
want this is just a great, great map to look at.
This is the
RSO II this. It's the alert map for hazards globally, and it's
clickable. So you see now you see on the left of the there's a
little red icon, biological hazard in the United States as
of March 29. Oh, 351 56. You click on it. And it shows we
have a biological hazard in the state of Vermont. And then you
can go to the event description. And the state's leading bad
biologist updated and it's a red morning, updated resisting
over by Alaska that's blinking as though there's a quick Oh,
one second. Oh, yes. A seismic. There's a blink 2.7
volcano eruption here.
Oh, that's the volcanoes. We knew that was happening. Okay,
but how about looking at the red one? It says epidemic in the
United States on on 329. Right.
That's that's Vermont. Know that
that's the biological hazard. This is the epidemic. Where's
that? Where's that? Where's the Reds right next to it? Oh, it's
green? No, it's the red one. You're looking at the green one.
The green. The red one is the state of Pennsylvania.
So we have an epidemic event description. Officials in
northern Pennsylvania school. juristic are trying to find the
cause of an alien illness that has affected some 200 elementary
school pupils. Officials. Oh man Hold on a second.
It's probably Noro.
And now back to real. Official say one of three of the 603
students was stricken on Friday. But half the sick children
stayed home. The rest were sent home after falling ill in
school. They do not believe it was a case of food poisoning or
water contamination state health officials.
Description What did they do they throw up doesn't say that.
Was it? Don't look over here. Nothing to see. Look at that.
Took know what it was. You love that one?
I do. It's well, I also like the that's that has to be one of my
favorites as well.
Right. And some people off the way from the show? I don't think
so. Okay, so I get map. That map needs to be posted on the show
notes.
Yes, it is in the show notes at no agenda.me veoh.com. And we
have a new one coming. We got a Squarespace site that we've got
to configure. Did you get the details? If you ask maybe Eric
could do something for us. Now that we have a budget to pay
someone to do something? Because that's what this library fund is
for. Right?
I mean, we know well, we gotta do something with it. Okay,
ready? Yes. I got a letter from a guy Towson his name. He
doesn't have any other name. After JFK read Jefferson's notes
from dining alone. He signed an executive order that the Federal
Reserve Bank should be assigned back to the people of the United
States, as Andrew Jackson had done before him. Kennedy was
promptly assassinated.
Oh, this isn't a Farah.
How big are the bonuses to the banks and the individuals? I
don't know what it is who I'm just reading a letter I'm sorry,
who? Who own our bank? Our bank rumors are that these bonuses
are approaching a trillion dollars a year. Why is a list of
ownership of the Federal Reserve Banks not disclose to anyone or
their bonuses? Let me try to give you the idea. And he goes
on and on with these debts. And he's got big numbers like you're
60 trillion. So you know,
you mean my 1.2 quadrillion number you mean it's getting
there? Yeah. Well, so he's asking about the Federal Reserve
which of course is what you really should be doing is
burning down the Federal Reserve the Central Bank of the United
States of the Federal Reserve that's the one you should be
burning down the central banks in general are
made out of brick.
Okay, then bazooka that thing if you have to that is stone and
that's what that's what Ron Paul Congressman Ron Paul is doing
with his Audit the Fed bill which is I think hr 1220 are
gonna pass Well, he's got 32 Good co sponsors, you know, but
the fact that you even say it that way John, the fact that
even are so skeptical and of course, you know, that our
government is bought and paid for and that stuff like that
will never get through that shows how complacent we are as a
population. We're just letting him do it. Yeah, we give him a
little hurdle from time to time. Yeah, we might throw you know,
break your windows or whatever. But at the end of the day, we're
just oh, you broke my window.
I can't let me go that's it. Go to the Bahamas for the weekend.
Go ahead, break them. Exactly are insured by AIG.
No worries. Man, I'm really sorry about the stream is too
bad. Like kind of suck. Do we have any other business seeing
as we have no idea agenda. It's hard to remember stuff that we
always say we're going to do.
Let me see if there's anything left over from last week.
I think there was something you had? Well, I don't know. I know
you had the the clip of the Mexican clip, I still have to
save that. If
I yeah, we can say that. Some of them say that. We could have
gotten a little bit more into the fact that during this for
this week, would do we can do this next week, that the
protesters would be for jobs, justice and climate, which makes
it you know, if you're, if you're losing your job, and
you're a union guy, you would probably not you would associate
this climate business with losing your job. Not something
you'd want. I mean, that makes no sense. So we have to talk
about that with some more details.
So while she, you know what clearly is coming next is what's
her name? The Vegetarian winner.
Oh, yeah, her she'll
become a poster child. You watch
the vegetarian women? Yeah. forgot her name. Fear Factor,
Olga. Oh, Rica. Yeah, whatever name is the one who
was too weak to stand.
To stand.
John, I could talk for hours, but that would mean we're almost
doing three Shows a week so
well, but currently, I don't think there's really anything
that we're backed up on. Okay. Catch it on Thursday. Yes, it
is.
It's third. Yeah. Thursday this week, right? Yeah. Okay, good.
