Adam curry, John C. Dvorak. Coming to you from the northwest
portion of Gitmo nation on the Queen's Birthday. This is no
agenda as Ryan covered, coming to you from the crackpot command
center backup location in San Francisco, California. It's Adam
curry and hopefully someone else on the other end.
Hey, I'm here in sunny as a matter of fact, peculiar the
sunny Amsterdam get mo nation Netherlands. I'm John C. Dvorak
and Bosque Buzzkill. Okay, we've been at it for about an hour
now. Oops, and it goes my microphone. We've had nothing
but technical problems this way.
It's rather weird. But the one technical problem I didn't have
Is it the sun came out today. And it's actually was an
outstanding day here on Queen's Day, which is something of an
event.
So yeah, so let's get into it. Man. How was queens? David? This
is your first experience. It's the the national swap meet in
the Netherlands? Yeah.
Well, let me just describe it or summarize for people who might
want to check it out. infinite number of drunks
absolutely don't say.
And the funny thing is, is that they come into all the parties
or Wednesday night. And apparently the English are the
worst offenders. Oh, yeah.
No, no, they come over just to tear the town. I've done thing.
So they come over, but I'm done. I'm told they come over up for
the Wednesday night parties. They party all night, and all
and then they keep going to the next day. And then they get kind
of tired, I guess because things start to crank up again around
three o'clock in the afternoon. And then by six or seven or
eight, they leave, they never spent they don't come are you
for 20 hours.
But you know, they do that every single weekend. Anyway, this is
just normal fare for the Brits. They hop on the easy jets. They
bust on over they don't even get a hotel room off and they just
like they'll just sleep it off on the street corner.
I'm telling you, I don't understand how What a miserable
flight it must be on an easy jet from Amsterdam to London after a
weekend. I
don't know if you've if you actually took advantage of the
taxi Eric service? Probably not. Not yet. I didn't have to okay,
but he will not take anyone to an EasyJet flight who's British
on on Monday morning or Sunday evening. He won't do it.
Of course. No, he doesn't have to clean up his can. Exactly.
Exactly. It's nasty. How was How was the party last night man the
way
I thought the party was good. We got there a little late. So
whatever drinks that were served into our little mini area were
stolen. So that was it wasn't
what time what time? Did you get there? Because I sent you a
message saying you should get I didn't
get the message. We were doing something else we were we were
at dinner. And so I didn't get the job on 11. Oh, yeah. But the
party the real entertainment. The party didn't really start
till midnight. Right. So, but it was a little packed. Yeah. Yeah.
But it was good. Yeah, it was good. I got to meet your friend.
Yeah. She's taller than you. Yeah. Isn't she? She Awesome?
Yeah, she's she's quite nice. And of course, she's like, six,
three, and she wears a top hat and wear heels. So it's like
taking hope you took a picture. I had this down on a box. Hi,
you're
Adams friend the whole time? What's the weather like up
there?
It's raining. So anyway, but you know, when I left to come to
this thing, you know, to all this stuff that he was the
weather prediction was was gonna just be raining all week. And it
just like yesterday, about 10 in the morning just stopped and it
was actually cleared up. There's a blue sky. Oh, that's nice.
It's actually kind of interesting. But the thing
that's the most interesting about this, and I've got a lot
of a lot of footage, which I'll post on the blog. Is these party
boats.
Oh, on the canals. Yeah. This is the big thing right now during
the day.
Yeah. And it's like everybody gets these barges and they load
them up the overcapacity to them as it were. I mean, and I can
say that, that knowing it because I got to witness a boat
sinking
does happen from time to time. Too many people on the barge.
Well, this was actually a smaller boat. And we're coming
in I took the big a big boat tour just because I was getting
tired of walking around. I just wanted to relax. And we're going
through underneath the where the Movenpick is, which is the hotel
I'm staying at actually which hotel Movenpick Do you know the
street name? It's right on the on the water down from the Yeah,
that helps. Okay, so right
on the water the central terminal is
the central station. Yeah,
yeah. Okay. Yeah, okay. Anyway, so this boat I guess the guy was
paying attention or something and he rammed appear And the
boat instead of just hitting the pier and bouncing back it kind
of ran up here because it had those curved holes and so
on the back wind in the water
Yeah it went up the hill the back when in the wall everybody
fell backwards and then it was weighted down more than the back
wind in the water and immediately sunk of it is kind
of funny Well luckily nobody got hurt but luckily there was a
like a raft right near it and so they just pulled over and picked
them up and then as we're leaving I got pictures of all
this by the way you'll find them quite amusing I was gonna turn
over the newspapers but I can't get them off the camera but
anyway the amount of blog it yeah so we're leaving and as we
go through the whole the under under the canal thing that one
of the police boats kind of guy gets to go check this out came
roaring by at about 70 miles an hour just with it with three
cops in it you know, I figured they're going to investigate
this thing because it was actually was actually something
to see I wish I had my little I was shooting with the with the
with the DSLR rather than the little movie camera that would
have been on YouTube it would have gotten a lot of attention
because it was actually quite interesting. This is the watch
that happened
you can't get the pictures off your off your flash drive
because that's all your flash card because it's still hose is
that the problem
don't know this because they don't have the converter to load
it into the machine. But bring it but anyway the it was
interesting because one of the things sank it kind of started
taking over and then I went bought backwards first so the
thing was sticking with the hole straight up it was like vertical
stuck in the mud. So I'm in some girl was standing on the top of
it. She's just shaking like a leaf it was just it's actually
quite interesting. But you know our barge stopped just in case
you know, they had to pick someone out of the water. Yeah,
so they didn't move so I got to see the whole thing it was very
entertaining of sorts. Anyway, there's that but most of the
time it's just these boats full of 20 Somethings with a with a
disco they usually have a DJ on the boat and a sound system
that's cranked way up there and playing nothing more than a loud
beat and then everybody's kind of dancing on the on the vote as
the thing goes through you know the crowds and there was a
couple of traffic jams there must have been like 100 boats
trying to get through this one you know underpass through one
of the canal areas. This is very entertaining. And the place is
getting you right now it's probably I mean they're already
getting drunk about four o'clock
it was a nasty accident today I saw pictures a car that was the
I guess the the Queen was on her her double decker bus saying hi
to her minions with the other members of the royal family and
then some car careened right through the crowd killing two
people injuring 12 look pretty gnarly,
even killed for our G's. But the day said you know they the
reports are real sketchy, because you know the thing ran
through these people in ram into a monument and is although there
was a bike with the findings you see the movie there's like a
bike guy on a bicycle just getting out of the way before it
hits the monument. He could have been crushed
it but the car was crushed before it hits the monument.
It's like hit something before it even hit all those people.
It's really we're not sure that's
true. I think that bounced off the monument. I think there's
all the shots of it or I'm not sure that that I'm not sure
that's true. But it seems like somebody had a heart attack or
something but they one of the early reports say they were out
to get the queen or the royal family but it was a puddle
jumper you know with a three cylinder engine and that been
the they were in a bus. Yeah. Yeah, that
doesn't make a match. Is it now?
So I don't know what the deal is. But that said, That's
tragic. That was in there wasn't around here that was in Apple
something or other apple. I will mourn
Apple door. Yeah, of course. It was a completely Masonic
structure that had crashed into
Oh, it was it's right. You're right and complete. Ovilus
gets a new world order phallic symbol. I don't know what that
is. I don't I have no idea what that monument is. Yeah, I don't
either. But it's a it's definitely a Sonic. Yeah, you
see those a lot? Yeah, particularly in anywhere near
the queen. Maybe this is all just a message to to do to do
through? Well, Joe's. Yes.
So I'm watching by the way, just to just to not to get too much
into the show yet. So I'm watching you know, there's this
in France 24. It's like one of the stations and out of France.
They have this news report on it. So I just saw it a few
minutes ago. And the news, the main news reader you know the
Katie Couric of this station station. Yeah. France. 24 is so
hot. It's unbelievable. Oh yeah. it so then images is the blonde
bombshell. Right? So
it's the it's the French version of Fox News.
Yeah. And then the J throw it but it's actually better because
I mean, this girl is better looking at anyone on Fox ever
since Harry
Pitt's. No problem. Well, I'm not I'm not offended by
it. She smells the cheese and wine. But otherwise she's
smoking. And so that she throws it to the business reporter to
it's going to talk about, you know, Christ or you know, it's
decided to go bankrupt. Yeah. And which is screwed up Fiat
plans. And so the threat to this other woman is Stephanie
Antoine, and she's just as hot. This is what it says
broadcasting what happened to well, how did we lose our way?
Well, I mean, the template is here. You know, I've been
sitting in hotel rooms for the past week. And of course,
there's really nothing else on except hot babes doing news. I
mean, that's just what television has become. I can't
say I hate it.
Well, I think we shouldn't you know, whatever happened to the
nude news
that still exists? The Naked news is what you mean, the naked
news? I don't know. It still exists. I was watching it just
the other day.
So what do you got on the agenda here? Well, of course, we
know. And, of course, we have no agenda. Well, I think obviously,
we need to talk about the swine flu.
That's my favorite thing about swine flu is now they're saying
you notice that we have to change the name of it, because
it's offensive to Muslims, Muslims?
Well, you know, this whole thing. Obviously, I have my own
thoughts about this, and some theories we should go through.
But right off the top, you'd almost expect that this is just
against the pork industry. I mean, it's it's the way this
thing is position. And they are they're killing pigs. Now. I
think in Egypt, they're, they're calling the the population. No,
they're not even sick.
Yeah, I know, this is ridiculous. I think this is
another vegan thing.
So what's the vibe over in Holland, because, you know, the
in laws are with the lady Patricia back in London. And so
of course, they're calling back to Holland and seeing how
everything's going. And the Dutch government, as far as I
understand, is basically saying, oh, you know, we're not going to
be affected. Nothing to see here. Move right along, we will
have no instances of swine flu in the Netherlands. Did you hear
any of that? Yep.
That's exactly what they're thinking.
You know, it's how misjudged is that
that's just where they feel. Because there's a number of
things I find peculiar about the, the, the mindset of the
current Norther way, current mindset of the population here.
One is that exactly, which is they don't think anything's
going to happen to them. And it's not a big deal. If it does,
you know, maybe one or two people would get some. And the
other thing is, is the ball, the Obama thing is quite unique. I
mean, everybody is so jacked up on this guy. It's on.
I know, they they're so smoking the dope. It's amazing.
And it comes from everywhere, by the way, yeah, I get to give a
talk to a little group of
what they will actually get angry with you. I get Dutch
people who get angry with me. If I say, Well, you know, hold on,
there's a couple of things, either Obama is great. And, and
the minute I, here's literally what I encounter in the
Netherlands, if I say, Well, you know, I do have a few a few
comments about our current president. And then the first
thing is, you're just jaded man. You're jaded. Like what? I'm
jaded. jaded. I don't know what that means. But that's what
you're jaded. No, no, no, no, I'm an American. And I pay
attention to what's going on. Me slave.
So I didn't get I got some. I got a minor amount of flack. But
not anything like that. It was mostly because I told I started
off my little talk about discussing the fact that they're
trying to get legislation so they can shut down to net if
they want to. These are people developed for the cloud. So that
got their attention.
Yeah. But here's what you always hear. Oh, really? Oh, I must
have missed that one,
though. Yeah. Well, they missed everything. So but I did get
some good but but anyway, so they're very much open ended.
Their argument is, well, Obama's like he's, he's a good guy, you
know, and he's trying to make it makes friends. And then he's not
he's not belligerent.
Now, but that is true. And you can argue it ugly guys. I got
back. So I went to New York for for like 36 hours, and went over
on the read. I came back a day and a half later, and I was just
in time to see the prime time 100 Day presidential press
conference. Did you have an opportunity to see any of this
fantastic show John?
I only saw the snippets and then the critiques and then I had to
watch the CNN coverage of the voting. They find an A A B C or
a D, and it's like, you know, and it was just, it was all
over.
I was flipping through the channels. And I'm like, and I
saw vote, you know, on a counter, like five more minutes.
I'm like, shit, what are they voting on? What's Senate voting
on now? It's like, it's not Senate. It's the CNN audience
voting on how the President did. This is crazy. John, this was
once again, a completely orchestrated show. It was just
unbelievable. I can't believe that. Do you know that when, in
the in Clinton's first term, also a Democrat, in four years,
four years time, he only did two national press conference
outside of the State of the Union, only two national press
conferences, because the network's would not give him the
airtime? And Obama has had three and three months?
Yeah, he's gonna have 12 Before we're done with one year.
And it was, it was 13 questions. There was 13 questions. And this
This was like a, like a kindergarten softball game. It
was just unbelievable. The I'm sure you saw the question from
the New York Times. No, it was, Mr. President, in your 100 days
in this New York Times in your in your 100 days in office? What
has surprised you? What has enchanted you?
If you were a tree? What kind of trees? What has
enchanted you Mr. President? I mean, come on. What are these
guys that New York Times thinking?
Is this like asking him? What kind of tree does he want to be?
Are you if you were a tree? What would you be kind of question it
was this is this girl over 12 years old.
That was a guy it was it was a guy oh my god. It was what has
now I gotta paraphrase. The Enchanted thing is just what
just what floored me? What is it? What has excited you what is
enchanted? You? What has surprised you?
But this is Oprah. This is not a press conference? Sounds like
Oprah. Yeah. No, it's exactly what it was. And it was slick.
You know, it was, by the way. I'd like to point out one thing,
I only have one observation from this show, because it was a
complete show. I mean, it was set up. It was 13 questions. The
President calls on people, he doesn't even know where they're
sitting. He just has a list, you know, and he knows exactly what
each person is going to ask more or less. It's got to be and he
just times his answer. You know, it's like, well, I got 15
minutes, you know, so I'll just tie my answers. He's got a big
clock on the wall. And he and he and so of course, the enchanted
question is lovely. You know, he took his time on that one. By
the way, the answer is our our servicemen and women not he said
I wouldn't use the word enchanting, but
okay, whatever. Yeah. What gets so whatever. Yeah. So okay, then
anyway, so didn't they all right. Him and the American
public gave him a B plus. So off of that for a second since I
don't think we should even just, it was a charade. We agree.
Right.
We agree wholeheartedly that it was a charade at this here's
just disappointing angering John I'm sorry, just it's angers me.
What the press conferences. I mean, Helen, for God's sakes,
Helen. Mr. President, she's sitting in the front row
continuously. She never gets asked a question she's never
called on oh, here's the point I wanted to make. When the when
the when the when the doors open and the President walks up that
that hallway up to the podium. And you know, it's a beautifully
lit hallway I just point out that not a single one of those
light bulbs in those chandeliers is a one of those frickin
Mercury field energy saving light bulbs Why don't you get
some of them ugly ass electricity spewing Mercury
filled light bulbs in the White House? A White House mr.
president start that
that's a good one.
Yeah, kisses me off. You can tell you know you can tell by
these light bulbs are not energy savers.
Oh, yeah. No, they're they're soaking it up. Yeah, they should
they just get up to do cap and trade. Oh, god. Oh. You didn't
get to see. Well, I didn't get to see
the guys. That's what you say. Yeah, go ahead.
You saw it. You saw a night What is it called Night? News night?
I don't know what you're talking about. No, I didn't see news
night.
Okay. New Zealand BBC this week. They had a a complete
documentary on power shift. Oh, nine. Oh, nice. Now power
shift.org People can go out there and check it out. It's a
green activists. And essentially, the government has
taken over this this particular conference and they loaded it up
with Obama people. To keynoter was the pa woman, Paul Podesta,
that one of the staffers that one of the major staffers, you
know, second in command of one of these other guys, it was a,
it looked like the organizer from the way they had this thing
structured the way they did the, the, the show this documentary,
Bill Clinton was there, everybody was loaded up there
was loaded up with these guys. And here's what I'm sure I'm
watching this thing thinking, wow, this is just another then
they got all these kids. It's a bunch of young people. And they
get them all pumped up with you know, this green, green, green,
green green stuff and you know, global warming. And so then they
jumped to showing some of the behind the scenes seminars, you
know, they don't always have the breakouts. Oh, of course. So the
breakouts are training to kids on civil disobedience, resisting
arrest, how to do sit in spot properly, how to lock arms, how
to do passive resistance. Wait a minute, let me get this
straight. And I would have been anybody who happens to be one of
those people. I like to ask a question. Since when do does the
government train the youth to do these sorts of things? The first
thing I saw it, I thought it was either Nazi youth or the the
young time?
Oh, wait a minute, no, this was this was American youth or
British youth.
That the first thing I thought it was either Nazi youth or the
Young Communist Party, this is training the youth. Well, when
is the government
truly Why was this British youth are American youth. I'm confused
American youth.
This was all Americans. This This show is you know, it's a
British show. But the this was in the United States this
meeting, and it was our government training kids to do
to how to do sit ins how to lock arms, how to resist arrest, but
again, there's resisting against go
by Apparently not, I would think because you're resisting against
big business who doesn't do what they're supposed to do? Oh,
that's the only thing. Yeah, but stunning.
I was shocked. I saw Rahm Emanuel. He was interviewed on
CNBC. And I didn't see the whole interview. I just saw a
soundbite. But one of his answers was literally, you know,
we're in a fantastic place right now. Where there's an
opportunity to figure out what the relationship really should
be between big business and government. Oh, my God, oh, my
god, the guy's just out and out saying it, that they want to
have control, there's got to be some kind of take over or some
kind of relationship.
Yeah, and if they don't anything yet, and if you don't knuckle
under, then they're going to Dickens are going to be sent
over there to protest sit in, you know, harass you
essentially, this is harassment. I mean, they're training the
kids to to be harassers to it because you know, just people
who are new who haven't signed on to 100% of the green
initiative. And of course, the whole thing boiled down once
again because of the Keynote or and everybody else brought it up
cap and trade cap and trade carbon credits, carbon credits
cap and trade.
So let's talk about cap and trade. We got it we got to talk
about this because while the swan we have to get back the
swine flu eventually. But you know, the swine flu, whether
intentional or not, is definitely a beautiful piece of
cover for the legislation hearings that are going on right
now in the US Senate Al Gore on on the stand. And there were a
couple of Republicans who are tearing him a new one and I want
and and it's about cap and trade. And we talked about this
on the last show where the I think the representative was
asking about his involvement and was he going to make money on
any any outline outline now? Let me just bring up this this
video. This is from earlier in the week. And hopefully we've
had some some massive problems with our connection. So I hope
that playing this is not going to screw up our our Skype
connection in fact, it's even coming up really slow. You still
there? Yeah. Okay. I hate this. God, I can't wait to just be
back in the regular Gitmo nation east where shit works. All
right, here we go. This is these are the hearings on climate
change legislation. So this is a very big deal. This is where the
taxes and and you know indeed this cap and trade, whatever
that may be a just listened to Gore man, you just got to listen
to some of the shit he's saying. And I'll probably have to skip
around a bit.
As we debate what I agree is a very critical piece of
legislation, a piece of legislation, in my opinion, and
many, many others would have very detrimental effects on our
economy if it was implemented, the way it's been drafted. We've
been trying to get a quantifiable grasp on the cost
of this bill, how much it would actually cost American families,
how many jobs would be pre created and lost. And I liked
that one. And lost very divergent views we've had does
Alright,
So I'm gonna have to skip around in this. So Al Gore is is he's
testifying.
That's not a cutesy issue. It's not an open issue.
It's your it's your opinion, obviously, you've stated it many
times.
It's the when you talk to the union of the global scientific
community and more importantly
than non union right now I have to I
have to backup because a couple of things that Gore says here,
so he's basically being attacked by these Republicans who were
saying, you know, hey, this global warming shit, you know,
it's not even proven and gore, like goes into this tirade about
the science is not discussable. It's undisputable, everyone
agrees. And I'm trying to
find who have given completely different views. Well, there. So
I would, I would, I would encourage you to go back and
look at the testimony. There's committees heard,
there are people who still believe that the moon landing
was staged on a movie lot in Arizona.
Are you there? John? Yeah, this unbelievable somebody with throw
that and that's what speech is a bunch of,
can you believe that? So the guy says, look, there are people who
disagree with global warming, and he comes up and he says, Oh,
please, there are people who, by the way, I happen to be one of
them. There are people who believe we did not have land on
the moon. Now. I'm gonna see if I can get to the to the piece
that just blows me away. If not, I'm just going to paraphrase
neither
one of those. And I know you like given those cute anecdotes,
this is not a cutesy issue, we're talking about know that
export millions of jobs out of our economy out of our country,
and testimony has been given just to those numbers. And so
we're talking about a serious consequence, that there would be
on this country and the carbon leakage that would occur where
the carbon would be emitted, but it would be emitted in China and
India and the jobs would go to China and India. So what
So what the what Steve Scalise is who is saying this, what he's
saying is cap and trade. And of course, no one really
understands what cap and trade is, cap and trade is essentially
where there's taxes and, and an entire exchange of carbon
emissions, that will result in not actually spewing less
emissions into the atmosphere, just moving it away from a
country. So instead of it being spewed out in the United States,
you trade these, these carbon emissions, the right like a
license to emit lethal carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. So
China or some other country would buy those up, and they
just spew the shit in the atmosphere. And the whole point
is that this actually isn't going to do anything for for the
environment, but that it's going to do a lot for people who set
up the exchanges. Now, here's the point. And I'm sure I just
can't find it. John, you're still there with me, right?
Yeah. You got to listen to it in any way, shape, or form. It's
near the end. Crap, this is so poorly produced.
Play it is a genuine don't always produce it well, because
I know the
reason for it, because it's the biggest crisis we've ever faced.
And no one who has come before this committee, from a
scientific basis can show us the smoking gun that mankind is
causing this to happen. There are you can create relationships
between the number of sunspots and the partisan makeup of the
Senate. Anything can be proven if you're willing to take the
time to have the numbers got Congress. Let me just go to
another point because it was a terribly did I respond to them?
No, I need to make this show. Mr. Dr. Apt, who was with us
yesterday, and he said it so eloquently that we have to focus
on reducing carbon dioxide so
I can't find it. But in this in this bit, like nine minutes,
you'll listen to this. So one of these guys as well. Mr. Vice
President, I understand that you took several meetings with Ken
Lay during your vice presidency, Ken Lay of course of Enron and
that he was a major advisor on the on the initiation and the
founding of your cap and trade system. And, and gore comes back
and this is what I wish I could find for you and I just didn't
have the time with whatever you said. What he says is, well,
yeah, no sure. I had some conversations with Caleb but I
didn't call him Kenny boy. I didn't know him that well. I
didn't call him Kenny boy. So it right here is such a gem of
information that the people who set up the fake trading system
that turned off the lights in California responsible for
actual deaths people who fried in their homes, that the exact
same scam is being set up for the so called cap and trade. So
that's really it's like setting up a new NASDAQ or a new
oil when oil thanks for the scammers
and gore and by the way, did he eat himself? That guy's huge.
He's big, big boy. But but he is
a by the way, and if you remember from last week, fat
people are responsible for global warming so he should be
ashamed of it. until
it's I'm sorry, I didn't I didn't have all that setup. I
thought it was a much shorter clip. It's like nine minutes.
But if you if you watch that and just you got to watch Gore's
expressions you'd like to, you know, sign,
like a 12 year old and
rolling his eyes like you guys are nuts and, and this is proven
there's no dispute, and we're gonna we're all gonna die if we
don't use my cap and trade system. So I'm, I'm just, I'm
really, really
you seem annoyed. Well,
annoyed, but, you know, so we have this swine flu. That's
right. Do you wanna 36 cases worldwide, by the way, for
people who don't know the stats? One about a half a million
people a year die of the flu?
Yes. 36 to 40,000 people in America alone.
We have 236 cases of this flu.
Worldwide worldwide. Yeah.
So when everybody's freaked out, oh, here here. So I'm watching
this thing because I was watching CNN the other day, and
all they talked about was this Adrena panic the public, I think
these networks should be ashamed of themselves. They should be
giving people good advice and making them learn things.
networks, networks, newspapers, radio. I mean, there are people
on this. I've traveled. There were people in the airport
wearing face masks. This is crazy. I have the swine flu. I'm
getting over it. I'm fine. Oil. I got a tail. I feel good. I had
a sweaty weekend I coughed you know, I'm alive.
So here's the so I'm watching CNN. And they're talking about
the their cutting from place to place to place and here they go.
They cut to a gut to the reporter in Virginia, of all
places. I think it was Virginia because it was CNN he just, you
know, basically stepped outside. Well, I guess they're actually
in Atlanta. But anyway, so there's reporting from back east
somewhere. And he's wearing the mask while doing the report.
The mask with his doing his report, there's nobody around
him. There's nothing else going on. And he's got the stupid mask
on. And I'm thinking what is this person's crazy this
networks, they should fire somebody like
that. So there's a very interesting parallel to be drawn
in a very similar situation. In fact, that was Congressman Ron
Paul, who I heard speak about this just the other day. And he
finds this whole situation interesting, because in 1976,
there was an outbreak of swine flu in the United States. Exact
same scenario. Except it didn't. It's a little different because
it didn't originate in in Mexico. It actually originated
on an army base. And, and some, some of our listeners will
remember this, there was no same thing. Oh, you know, it's, it's
horrible. We've got the pandemic, people are going to
die. And yes, one or two people died from the flu, whether it
was swine flu or whatever variant, but what was worse is
they they rushed through these bills to vaccinate everybody,
which Ron Paul, who was probably just a congressman, at the time,
voted against obviously, is one of the only two people saying,
hey, you know, we shouldn't be in the business of health care,
you know, that or, you know, we're not doctors, we don't know
what we're talking about. And what happened is 25 or 30 people
died, actually from the vaccinations. They had to stop
the vaccination program. Do you remember that,
John? Oh, yeah, I think it was more than that. In fact, I was
working at the time when this happened for the government. And
I think one of the guys in our office got the swine flu because
of the vaccination.
Yeah. Well, because of vaccination, by definition is
the is the virus you
put too much in.
Oops, sorry.
Sorry about that, buddy.
But I still think that to the idea that there's a big
stockpile of Tamiflu may have something to do with this, oh,
although the smokescreen theory is good, too. But whatever the
case is, the public is so stupid, that if they think that
eating pork has anything to do with this disease, this is an
issue with the education system. I mean, this, the public is so
it's been allowed to become so stupid, that they don't know the
difference between you know, an airborne disease and eating meat
as a as a transmitter of a disease. It's almost ridiculous.
Well, you know, but John, it's, it's conditioning, it's
training. And so I call home and you know, you know, my wife and
my daughter, you know, they know what we talk about, they know my
stance on this stuff. And, you know, throughout this, you know,
she calls up said, Hey, man, you know, what's going on with the
swine flu? I said, Oh, honey, I got it, don't worry about it,
I'll be fine. I got a cough and I'm getting over it. And if in
fact, I am much better, and then you know, she, she along, she's
along for the ride, and then all of a sudden we go to to level
five, I call her last night, which was early this morning, UK
time. And it's just like, well, you know, yeah, you can hear
that she's bought into it, because she's conditioned by by
the way the whole news cycle works. And now I had a very
interesting point, which will be of interest to me because it
concerns my family. But now that we have level five, the World
Health Organization sets these levels as one more level to go
this My wife knows all too well, because level six basically
means we're headed for the hills. So five means all
countries should enact or activate their pandemic flu
programs, which means once again, we're going to get into
the probably obligatory vaccination realm. And I will
tell you, that I will not take a shot, but I
already had been exposed and had gotten over it. Well, it's the
same, it's the same thing. People are stupid. And I have to
say, let people know people aren't stupid. They're
conditioned to be stupid. And I know that if it when it comes
down to it, if there's forced vaccinations, my wife will take
the shots, and it scares me. I don't know what to tell her, you
know? And she's like, Oh, come on. She said, Oh, yeah, I know.
It's not all that bad. It's just
this is because this is your fault. Because you take fault is
totally your fault because you take these crackpot positions on
everything with no exceptions. And so then she doesn't take you
seriously.
She doesn't take me seriously on any of my crackpot.
She's really because you're all you're only crackpot. That's the
problem. You're too consistently
crackpot not only crackpot.
So let's go over something else. That's kind of interesting in
regards to this exact same story.
Well, can I can I just say one thing on this just to finalize
this one issue? So we're going to do a hedge, essentially, the
hedge strategy is she takes the shot. I don't take the shot.
Hopefully one of us will be alive to take care of our
daughter. That's the hedge.
You've already had the swine flu you said. So you wouldn't need
to take the shot anyways, not much of a hedge.
I know. But even that she doesn't believe Oh, you don't
have the swine flu. So yeah, of course, I just had a version of
the swine flu, whatever flu is running around here. And I've no
other people who have had it.
You know, it could be pretty Yeah, you know, you might, it's
actually possible. So let me bring up the story that makes
this a little more interesting to me. Because as anyone who's
listened to the show knows, I advocate everybody have a dose
of Tamiflu or Relenza with them if they like if they travel
around and they don't want to really have to go through the
symptoms and I explained how this product works. I know you
don't like the idea, but this is essentially it. So this guy,
Marco, one of our producers, as a matter of fact, Marco in
Portland, goes to the doctor at Kaiser and he's got the flu or
or his daughter does or somebody does in the family. I don't have
the letter in front of me. And He says he'd like to get a
Tamiflu for this flu and deductions. No, no, we're not
gonna We're not giving out any Tamiflu. This is what and he
tried to get it, you know, I got I just need a prophylactic. I
need to digest maybe to prevent getting the flu in the future. I
just wanted a prescription for the Tamiflu and the doctor
refused to get it, give it to them saying that they can't at
this point give out any prescriptions for Tamiflu
without clearing it through the CDC,
the CDC see, they are in control of this I thought not but
Napolitana was in charge of isn't this department of
homeland security business?
I just telling you what he told me I mean maybe you know that I
I backed up backed him up and said hey look, I bet you that's
just Kaiser because if I'm not mistaken when you get a
prescription from Kaiser they cover like most of the cost of
it and Tamiflu stuff really expensive and they're just
saying let's you know they're probably had meetings saying
Look there's no swine flu around here. This is bogus we're gonna
have people coming in here getting Tamiflu is going to cost
us a fortune our numbers are gonna go into the toilet. Just
tell him no make something up. Oh, so Bennett, that the CDC has
anything to do with prescriptions if somebody out
there can document that I would be very interested.
So you know that President Obama immediately asked for $1.5
billion in emergency funding for for vaccination you heard about
this? Yeah. Okay, so that pissed me off because we know in the
budget there's already $4 billion already built in for
stockpiles why do we need this additional 1.5 billion I don't
get it.
These guys are spending like drunken sailors in
it just blows my mind it absolutely blows my mind. So
anyway, position of this show is that there's really little to
worry about and and I just don't understand why the media is on
this. I mean, are they are they literally that programmed, or is
it it can only be one Oh, it can only be a few things that are
actually happening either a. The government knows that actually.
It is horrible. And we're all going to die throwing up blood
in the streets possible? I don't know. Or it's just a complete
scam. And apparently most of the news media is in on the scam, or
everyone's so desperate for any inkling of ratings to make some
money that they'll just do whatever. And they don't care. I
mean, I don't see any other option.
Have a good go at the mask? I mean, I wish I had that on tape.
I think it shot some pictures of it. So I think it's a
combination of all those things. And the and also the stupidity
factor. There's one other element that's cropped up. And
I'm not absolutely sure that this cropped up late in the
game. And I think it was done as a mistake or something in some
way. I don't know that. I mean, this flu is apparently is an h1
and one type in do they have these you can have the variety
of the way these things are pieced together, you get these
different kinds of lives in h one n one is the kind of flu
that was also called the Spanish flu, which was the one that
killed 40 million people around the world, you know, in 1918.
Yeah. And
we know we dug one of those guys up to take DNA a few months ago.
And that brings up two other points actually was longer than
that. We had that guy dug up. So I think there's got to be almost
a year ago. But anyway, so there's the flies when you're
having fun. What can I tell you? It brings up a couple of
interesting points. One, they all I only picked up on the h1
and one thing recently when they were trying to rename the flu in
other words, this thing got started got underway. And it
then it got all of a sudden got the name of swine flu. And so
then they say oh shit, you know, we forgot to bring up the fact
that as h one n one we can freak them out with that because of an
ancient and in there you got to have that we can't we can't use
that now. Yeah, we can. Swine food insults Muslims? Change the
name. Right, right, right. Because nobody but no, it's the
first thing he said, Well, can you call it Mexican food can't
do that. It's very insulting. So anyway, so they tried to but
they couldn't manage it. So nobody knows his h1 and when it
did, so that that whole propaganda thing is just blown
out of the window. Now the other thing is that if you remember
when this thing first cropped up, there are two or three
scientists that came in out of the blue and said, This thing
has been structured.
Yeah, it's been engineered in effect in the lab. There's no
way that you can just have this unless you've got bird screwing
pigs.
Exactly. So which by
the way, I think I've seen that movie on my, my hotel on London
on demand.
You have to take a quick break because I have a knock at the
door.
Oh, and of course I don't have my jingle. Ready, because I'm
just happy we we've got all the stuff hanging together here. So
it's been a very challenging technical show. This one. Are
you back? Okay. While while John is getting the knock at the
door, I might as well tell you that there's a nice guy. I want
him to listen you back. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Okay. So on April
22, CNN reported. So this is April 22. Is before it. It hit
our shores, right.
April 22. Yeah. So, report.
vials of a potentially dangerous virus have prompted an army
investigation in the disappearance from a lab in
Maryland. And it was vials of the Venezuelan Equine
Encephalitis. A virus that's
simulated. Yeah, that's what
I mean. A virus that sickens horses and can spread to humans
by mosquitoes. Now, this is interesting, because we know
that there were 21 Polo horses that died around the same, the
same, the same period. There is just so much certainly
circumstantial evidence that says that this is this has been,
you know, engineered somewhere. Oh, my God, Baxter
International, the company that admitted that they put live bird
flu virus into flu vaccinations, which was caught by the
distribution company, and was luckily, as far as we know, not
distributed to people. They're the ones that have been tapped
to make the vaccine for the swine flu. I mean, does it get
any more transparent than that? Was not transparent to anybody
apparently. US Yeah. And then of course, just to make sure that
that it was possible that this mystical virus spread to Europe
they had a couple of vials of the stuff explode on a train in
Switzerland. I love that one. Oh, I
didn't get that story. Oh, no, I
was in Dutch built which of course does fantastic reporting
the German build magazine. Oh, Allah. I'll read you the
article. I thought I sent you this on email. I was so blown
away by it, I twittered it and it got retweeted a lot.
According to police sources, a technician from the National
Center for influenza In Geneva, was traveling to Zurich carrying
eight glass containers, five of which held the swine flu virus.
The content of course that you want to put that on a train,
don't you? The containers holding the virus were
commissioned by the Federal Office of Public Health for the
Geneva center in order to develop a test to detect swine
flu. The vessels were according to report securely packaged
three times and hermetically sealed and cooled with dry ice
and here it comes John, that
is, fucking waggle. Wagnalls sorry, blew the jokes. No Carson
gag was keep going. Sorry.
The packaging of dry ice, however, was clearly not done
properly as pressure built up in the container during the journey
at 6:39pm. Shortly before the train arrived at Freiburg
station, there was an explosion. So this flew exploded from the
dry ice on the on the train. I mean, I
believe, yeah, that's one way to get it out. Just put a container
with dry ice and and heat it up and see how long it takes for
blows.
It's now of course, Mexico received $200 million from the
World Bank to help with their swine flu issues. Sanofi
adventus I mean, there's so much and all of this is in the
shownotes by the way, it's no agenda.me veoh.com You want to
look through a lot of these sonofa Ventus announced on the
19th of March before all of this started up an agreement with the
Mexican authorities to build a 100 million euro facility to
manufacture influenza vaccine in Mexico. I mean, is it could it
be any more clear that this thing is just and may I remind
people that one of the major shareholders and former CEO of
the company that makes Tamiflu is Donald Rumsfeld one of the
most evil guys in the in the country. The people even know
this.
Nobody cares. They just don't care. So yeah, well anyway,
that's our flu thing. I think it's you know, people should you
know, my wife's freaked out. She's got it. She's like, gonna
just like yours. You know, she's Oh, you know, worried, you know,
because her friend Teresa was in Mexico and Sanada Yeah, he's not
even Mexico. She's coming back.
Just like being in an Austin man. Um,
come on. You have the 263. Yeah. 260 or 236 known cases
worldwide. And I just say, people, this is another thing
with the dumbing down of the public. Do the math. We have 350
million people in this country alone. Yeah.
120 people a day die on the US roads?
Yeah. Yeah, it's unbelievable. So, ya know, it's just, it's
amazing to me that again, you know, people just don't they
just think everything's, you know, there's three people in
the world what they're one of them, and the other two are
sick, and they're gonna die. And they're gonna they're gonna pass
it on to them. And I just don't see the understand it quite. But
you know, it's just the way it is. So what else do we have on
our list? Oh, I got one for you. This is the topper. Okay, hit
me. So I'm going to all these fancy restaurants throughout
Holland. And it was done. I will have a report.
Yes. Good. Because I'm sure a few of them and I wouldn't mind
hearing, I'm finding
that they're so much the same all the top ones. I mean, in
terms of decor, in terms of the way they present the food. And
in fact, a scraper thing is even the same from place to place. I
find it distressing. There's one consulting firm obviously doing
all these great restaurants. So we're at one of these places.
And at the bottom of the menu, it says and I think there's some
over we're missing the opportunity here. The hostesses
are addressed by MaxMara and suits support. The maitre d is
dressed by suit support.
Excellent, yeah, this is an opportunity. John C. Dvorak
wardrobe provided by
Giorgio Armani. Yes, to say
the least. Amen. Do we have Do we have any updates on
donations? I know you've been busy, you might not have had a
chance to log in and, and so yeah,
there's a few reasons. We don't have another night. But we have
a few and I'll run through them on Sunday when I can just put
them together. I did have one guy complaining that we
shouldn't be getting any donations because we both have
jobs. And we are getting paid by our employer. So why do we need
money? I figured you guys did a 12 years old or an idiot. Yeah.
And He says he'd never give us any money ever. Okay, well,
that's fine. Because we're working we already we have other
jobs and so we shouldn't get paid for this. We should be
doing it free time. I guess I can just
say one thing. People really need to check themselves who
think that way? Because yeah, we have jobs. Do you know how hard
I know I work. I know, every single person that MVNO works
and including yourself and you have you have multiple gigs in
really only, I guess part time it's at the company. But we are
a small company, we get no fucking tax breaks, we get no
TARP money, we get, in fact exactly the opposite. And we're
we're pushing to make shit work and to keep everything alive in
this economy and around us everyone is stealing money left
and right. And we're just trying to keep 60 people employed and
their families, you know the Fed because I literally these days I
see it that way. And then people are getting to talk shit about
entrepreneurs and people who are just trying to keep keep shit
running. You know, check yourself
that this is helped me by helped by Sarbanes Oxley, by the way,
but anyway, we do support or we do need your support. And we
appreciate people who do support the show. And you can do so by
going to divorce.org/n A or the no agenda library.com.
And well, I just want to say that of course, if you if you
can't support us financially, obviously, we're very happy if
you tell a friend if you redistribute the show if you
link to us, and anything you can do to help is highly
appreciated. But just to say, Oh, you got a job, man. Yeah,
indeed. What are you 12?
So I just saw the car again, hit that monument. Yeah. And it was
damaged. I guess when they ran over when he ran over hit.
Somebody
told me it hit something previously it must have it looks
like it careened off or something I don't know.
I think a person. So anyway, yeah, no, we go to
divorce.org/na. And we are still collecting weird numbers. And
people are like getting a kick out of that. And although I
think it's, it's running dry, and we still would like to get
more 50 and $100 donations where you'll get mentioned and also
obviously the knighthoods are always available. So anyway,
back to the show. So the big show, big shame. We don't by the
way, we don't spend a lot of time. I mean, if you did it, but
I think that was 45 seconds. I mean, we don't sit here and go
on and on and on for hours on end, which we're going to have
to do eventually, if we don't get more response, no
one had an interesting idea. emailed me I think you were
copied on it and said, maybe one of the one of the donation ideas
where we could do a pledge drive, and we could give away a
meal with you and I and I'm thinking, you know, we have
enough money in the kitty to actually, let's say, you know,
if we're both in San Francisco, we could take some of that money
and fly someone out.
Yeah, we could, we could have maybe a weather so we can
arrange something I said that I wasn't I didn't think we're
together in the same town. Enough of the time to make that
work, because it has to coordinate with the other person
too. But yeah, we can come up with something like that dinner
with Adam and John, if you want to, you know, I don't know if
that. I I'm thinking you know, you'd, you'd give us $100 and
get on to a lottery and then you get dinner with Adam and John or
you could give us 200 bucks, and you wouldn't have to worry about
the lottery. You didn't have to go stay with us. wouldn't have
to go to dinner with us. Let me you stepped all over the punch
line. So sorry, I
fucked that up that night.
Yeah, that's okay. That that joke is an old setup. I can do
it a million times.
Let him has the swine flu. By the way. This I know you don't
know. No, I don't know that. Yeah, he was on it was amazing.
I've never seen anything like this in my life. He was on he
had lost his voice completely. I'm not talking like just a
little bit John. It was like, and he was he was standing like,
why is he even doing the show? And it was so bad. He had the
cue card guide do the opening monologue that he was he tried
to do the top 10 And he couldn't get through it. And he said it.
Paul, why don't you do the top 10 Schaefer does the top 10 The
guy cannot speak and he has Jennifer Gardner comes out. And
you know, so everyone was really nice. And they got him through
it. But it was it was I couldn't watch it. It was so you could
because when you can't talk, then your timing is off. Yeah,
it was really. He was like an old man, which he is, um, but he
was like a really old man. And it was I couldn't believe he was
on the air. And it was funny, complete swine flu.
Something happened to Leno and he was like hospitalized and he
Oh, you do? Yeah.
He had a great joke on the monologue. So it's so nice to be
here to watch some of that stuff. So he did. He went to the
hospital, everyone's freaking out. Of course. You know, if Jay
Leno goes then NBC really has no programming. They have nothing
to draw on any ratings. And they're about to move him to
this new 10 o'clock time slot in the States. And so he says, you
know, some people thought I had a heart attack. Some people
thought that, you know, I had food poisoning, he said, but in
reality, you know, I had had the erection for more than four
hours and I really needed professional help.
A funny, I thought that was a good one. So talking about that
kind of thing. Another letter writer and I don't have it in
front of me again because they don't have enough equipped And
here, I'm in a hotel. So I don't have these screens I can open up
but somebody did send a nasty note about, about talking about
NBC programming Law and Order Special Victims Unit. April 29.
Episode. Yeah. Hilary Duff. You know about this? Yeah, go for
it. Okay, so the story is about a mom who, whose, whose, whose
daughter dies, and she covers up the death. She dies of, I guess.
Measles, measles. Yeah. And she covers up to death. And then she
gets caught as the as a murderer. And then it turns out
that it was her daughter died of measles, and she just couldn't
deal with it. And then they found another girl who had
measles. That, and her mom didn't vaccinate her against
measles. And so they they indicted her for for homicide
because of her negligence. Because if she didn't vaccinate
her daughter, which he should have done, and her daughter gave
measles to the other girl who died, then the woman she's
killed, directly responsible, she's guilty. And they ran this
story, which by the way, got a lot of flack in the various
forums. Which is a disgusting story to run because it's a
bogus story. I never did ever had measles vaccines. When I was
a kid, we all got measles. Yeah, nobody got
the measles. You got over it, and you went back to school.
And here's, here's what the funny thing is about this
particular episode. So I did decide to look it up on the NBC
website. It's not there. No, it's there. Well, no, it's not
yet because it hasn't posted yet. But there will be. But what
was interesting is on the website, there's a bunch of ads
on the right hand side.
Oh, let me guess.
Mm, MMR. CDC, Jesus, they call back to earlier part of our
show, the CDC has an ad on the NBC site for adult measles
vaccine, measles vaccine. I knew you'd love that one.
No one see what's going on? Do we not? Are we not aware of what
is happening before our very eyes?
Geez. When I was talking to my doctor, but didn't he all of a
sudden they hepatitis I have a doctor is fairly organic,
doesn't believe in a lot of stuff. And he in fact, and he
takes acupuncture courses. And he was talking to because they
said I said I just read about it. And hepatitis B vaccine has
hepatitis V. Is that the one pill? Yeah, I mean, what is the
purpose of the vaccines that don't take it? He says it unless
you're just working with blood 24 hours. What is the point of
this vaccine? And anyway, okay, wait, here's the topper. Okay,
I'm still not. You're not in, I'm in? Well, I would get to
Europe, who knows a lot of action here. It's a slower back
there. You know,
all I got is Letterman and Leno and swine flu. I mean, that's,
that's all the inputs I'm receiving here.
Okay, so for for I'm working with the software company, and
there's a guy and they're connected to a lot of agencies.
And I'm told the following. According to Spanish military,
intelligence, Spanish military intelligence. Al Qaeda, they
believe al Qaeda is target for the next big event, because they
do have every eight years right, the 2009 events coming up.
Right? Yeah, sure. That's time Ding, ding ding. Al Qaeda
is targeting Spain, because apparently the powers that be in
the Spanish military intelligence actually believes
this to be true. They just they're still irked about the
fact that the Muslims don't own the caliphate doesn't still own
Spain, and they decided they're going to take them back because
they knuckled under so easily over that, you know, when they
had the trains and the member they blew those trains up. Next
thing you know, they voted out the guy from the President, the
guy was actually standing up for you know, our invasions. They
got him voted out, because the Spanish knuckled under so they
figured they're gonna go, they're going to, they're going
to try to take him on. I'm going to be true. Anyway, that's
little insight. We'll see.
from Gitmo nation, north, north north west, from Canada. You
know, we it's hard to track everything. You can't take your
eye off the ball because even though we're you know, we're
very unsuccessful at to combating this horrible swine
flu. The Pirates of course, still rain it off the coast of
Somalia, and I just and someone's one of our Canadian
producers sent me this, this article, what the because, of
course, you know, every country in the United Nations, I might
add, is sending huge warships over there. And what are the
Canadians doing? You gotta love the Canadians. They have a They
have a new tactic. Here's what they do. They fly helicopters
near the pirates with a sign that says stop in Somali. And it
works. Apparently. They have a big sign that says stop your
pirates stop in Somalia. And it works.
Well, who knew? It's unbelievable. That is funny, of
course,
because it's just kids. You know, it's just 18 year old
punks like Oh, boy. Okay, we'll stop. I'm sorry.
That brings up another point, which is what happened to that
guy that they that they brought to New York City.
It was just grandstanding. You know, that's all a part of the
show. Follow up on this? No, of course not. Because we've got
swine flu. Why would we want to follow up on anything else?
Please give me a break. From the world of aviation. The Dutch
released I guess a another preliminary report on the
Turkish Airlines crash. And so now they haven't actually given
us a transcript or a copy of the flight data recorder or the void
the cockpit voice recorder. But the alarm was going off well,
before they were in any trouble notifying this crew that the
altimeter was off. So they knew it because you know, because
what happens is you get ground proximity warning saying yeah,
literally a voice in the cockpit says I'm trying to think on the
on the Boeing what it says. But anyway, it's like warning
ground. 50 feet, you know, something like that. And they
could see that they weren't at 50 feet. So these guys knew what
was happening. They knew that the altimeter was off and still
this horrible accident takes place. There's there's so much
more to that one. John, if there's it stinks. Parent leaks
completely stinks. And I
see you're getting that she does how well I'm so grumpy when I'm
back in the San Francisco Bay. Are you starting to sound like
me?
I'm not grumpy. Actually. I'm feeling pretty good. Yeah, yeah.
Well, now that the the bird flu was over, and of course, I
missed the Presidential fly by in New York by one day. That was
a shame. That was that was quite a. You got that news, didn't
you?
Oh, yeah, they flew a jet around. And now it's a big
scandal. That's another don't look here.
Oh, yeah. Nothing to see here. I so do not believe the story that
oh, we were just doing a photo op. I mean, I just I can't
believe it. It just it's not true. Something else happened.
But
yeah. And here's the reason that you're probably right. And
here's the reason why would they tell the New York Police
Department point blank not to warn anybody that this was going
to happen in advance so they could be aware of it? They made
a big, big deal out of it. They said no, you cannot tell anyone
we're going to do this. Why did they what would be the point of
that? And then a New York police who always distrusted feds say
they're not gonna listen to these guys anymore ever because
it caused a cause they ended up eating crap over the thing.
Yeah. And we're talking, by the way for people who don't know
that they took the Presidential 747 and fluid around the Statue
of Liberty for photo ops in the middle of the day, and it
freaked everybody out in New York, you know, because
everyone's skittish, because there's
people were evacuating their office buildings. Yeah, they
were they were freaking out. And so meanwhile, then the follow up
to this is that Obama was livid.
You know, who says Obama wasn't on the plane? She could have
been. I think he was on the plane and something happened and
there was a reason to divert. And, you know, when the news
reports came out, it's like it was the backup plane with a
backup plane.
I never heard of backup plane. I've never heard of a backup
plan. As
far as I know, there's only one air that Well, in any plane the
President is on is deemed or is codename Air Force One. But this
was the plane. I don't think we have two of them. I never heard
of that. We had two of them. But we Well of course we have to
Obama's so it makes sense. We have we have to it would make
sense that we have to, to Air Force ones
that will the funny thing is if they do have a second one, and
they've never mentioned it before, because of security
reasons. What was the point of blowing it by telling everybody
there's two of them? Let's watch the way they backpedal on that
one. Yeah.
And you know, and and Robert Gibbs. He immediately was asked
in the in the daily press conference. He's like, I don't
know. But you got it. Here's his answer was even better than
that. He's like, You need to talk to the White House. Well,
who the hell are you then? So you got to ask you got to ask
the White House to the White House. Isn't that you? Dude, I
don't get it
is him what is that?
And I'm sure you probably didn't see the finally we got one on
tape. The Obama teleprompter Gaff.
Oh, by the way, we did good. Yeah, yeah, we didn't we do have
that. I think there's gonna be a lot a lot of those in the months
to come. By the way. I don't think it was that that Obama was
diverted because they told the New York Police Department way
in advance of that flying around. And that's when they
told him not to do to, they couldn't mention, because they
had they actually had clearance for it. That's my understanding
of something that I think they were doing to just to see if
they could scare the public eye. There's something screwy about
it. Well, I
was. What was interesting is I immediately Of course, I go to
try and find air traffic control reports. You know, if if you've
got the an F 16. And I only saw one, but apparently there were
two. And you've got the the President's jet doing low fly
bys over Manhattan. You know, the rest of the air traffic has
to know about that I couldn't hear I couldn't find anything. I
couldn't find any reports, or any restricted airspace or
anything like that. It's very strange. And just to say, Oh,
well, yeah. Oh, I'm sorry. It just doesn't cut it with me
something else. And that's I don't have the jingle on
standby, but definitely nothing to see here. Please move along,
folks. Sorry about that.
Yeah, they need to do some explaining. But nobody cares
because of swine flu. And vamos honor days and
fart and cats with advising me about national strategies to
nurture and sustain a culture of scientific innovation. In
addition to John, the, I just noticed that I jumped the gun
here. Go ahead, move it up. Move it up. I had already, I had
already introduced all your guests in biomedicine.
And he just goes on like nothing happened.
Open up. Well, he's gonna fire somebody over that. I mean, what
does it take? You got to do? I mean, what does it take to move
the teleprompter? You know, accurately? Well, these
because of course, these are all electronic teleprompters back in
the day actually use one that had a conveyor belt with a
camera, hovering over it with pieces of paper that were slid
underneath it. That was the original teleprompter idea.
Yeah, it's pretty easy for a page to pop up or I mean, it was
some flunky was in I mean, it's easy to screw that up. You see
it happen all the time. In fact, watch any of the news networks
and you see it happen continuously. And they'll even
say, what are we doing? I love that CNBC Mark Haines always
says, and what are we doing now?
Yeah, no, you can always cover your ass when the teleprompter
blows up. The time I was at that was a tech TV. Wasn't the thing
drop dead on me. Just dead. Yeah, there was no point and it
wasn't going again. Where's the live show? And there was it
wasn't coming back. And so I had to read from the cards, or the
actually the sheets. Yeah. Which is good practice anyway, you
should Well, yeah, you should. But the funny thing is for the
first time that ever happened to me in my life, so I did a crappy
job of it. Because I wasn't prepared. But the next time it
happened again, like about a year later, and I was solid with
it. And that's why I actually when I do cranky geeks, I don't
even use a prompter. I just go right to the cards. I use such a
professional. Now. It's just fun to do. So I was a professional.
I have a college degree and there's a punch line in there
somewhere. I'm sorry, my job turns. I'm in Denver. I'm in the
wrong time zone to be funny. Yeah,
it's hard for me to man. I mean, and by the way, I just like to
point out that people who live on the West Coast of America,
Gitmo nation Northwest, are completely clueless and do not
give a rat's ass about the rest of the world. And I will prove
my point. I work in London, and people set up meetings that you
know, that involve me that are like three in the morning. You
know, there's never ever one single bit of consideration for
this little thing called timezone difference. And at 630
this morning, my frickin phone rings. And it's John C. Dvorak,
like, Oh, good morning. Are you ready? Are you ready to do the
show? Like John had 630 Like oh, I must have miscalculated it.
What is Why is with Americans dead people on the West Coast
even like oh, well, I gotta call London Oh, that's really
expensive. People still think it's expensive to call overseas.
And but they it's so hard to calculate eight or nine hours
time difference
that you don't get enough sleep.
It's it's just rude. Your wife is so right. You're rude. Basta.
Sleep sleeping. You're grouchy? You need a nap. Yeah, I do.
Think that wraps us up, Bluebell. I actually would now
we're gonna both be on the West Coast. And the funny thing is
when we were both on the West Coast, even though the
connection was yeah, the
connection will suck more than suck. Okay, well, I have a
feeling that we're missing all kinds of stuff. We just have a
quick look through. I mean, everything. You're so right, you
know, often I'm sitting over there and get my nation nice.
I'm surprised that you don't know about half the shit that's
going on. But when you sit here, there is literally nothing that
I mean, is there even do they print a different version of the
Financial Times here in the US? I mean, this thing is full of
crap as well. Is this just the US version? Or is this
international? I don't understand it. You have no news
here. No news?
Yeah, no, I know, I have been trying to tell you this. And
you, you just keep you get back over here. And again, you'll
forget.
But at least I won't forget the eight hour time difference.
Okay, you can take a nap.
Take a nap now. All right, only only one more week, my friends.
And we'll be back to our normal schedule and our normal places
and our normal show prep and we'll have things a little more
setup. So apologies for the timeliness of the program for
the interruptions due to Skype ology. And
there you have it. And that's right.
So what's the deal? When are you flying back, man?
I'm coming back Saturday. Okay, like get back in Saturday night.
Okay.
Can we do Sunday show? Like, at a normal time?
Like what was that?
I don't know. I need a nap. Can we not do it? eight in the
morning? I don't know. How about 1111. It's Sunday.
All right, lemons, okay. I can do lemon
and no one else will care. Everyone. Everyone's fine with
it. I think even this show going up late. Probably more people
are interested because we normally do it so damn early. So
okay, so conclusion, John.
Conclusion is the same as last week we did swine flu is
questionably of importance. And we could use your help at
divorce.org/na. Yes.
And
I'm confused. Nevermind. I messed up the timing of the
here. Let me do this. Okay, great. I'm sucking coming to you
from an undisclosed backup crackpot command center, in
Gitmo nation West in San Francisco. I'm Adam curry.
And here in Amsterdam, old Amsterdam. I'm John C. Dvorak.
We will talk to you again on Sunday probably around 11. Gitmo
nation, West time. Talk to you then no agenda
