I hate Tokyo and the portions are so small. Adam curry John C.
Dvorak.
Sunday, September 1 2013. It's time for your Gitmo nation media
assassination episode 544. This is no agenda sniffing signatures
of sarin here and the Travis high tide out in the capital,
the drone Star state, where MoPhO Shoko Austin, Texas in the
morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry,
and from Northern Silicon Valley, we were sniffing
nothing. I'm John C. Dvorak. Buzzkill here.
I've never been a sniffer, really. So I never done the glue
thing.
I didn't, I wouldn't do glue. It's not good for the brain.
Now, that's why I never did it. So that's like people to snuff.
Or where they go off off. Offers Halloween and some of these
other aromatics are not they're not healthy. They're not good
for those in danger. Especially some of them were bad for the
liver.
I do remember when I was a kid, I once we were on vacation. And
I bought it was raining. And so I think my parents let me buy
like, you know, eight model airplanes that had we had to
kind of do smaller kits, like for two bucks a kit.
Yeah, were these now. These are the plastic plastic ones.
Yeah. And I built all eight of them in like, in one afternoon
with the windows closed. Like, Mommy, I feel so good, Mommy.
They feel a little nauseous. I remember, I remember my pants
going off and the kids stoned. And what he's talking about.
Imagine if you're like six,
well, especially if you're painting because there's this
type of it was called I think the brand was testers it was
called dope.
Dope. Yeah, no, it's exactly what it was dope.
It was in the paint. It was just paint that you use. Once Yeah,
absolutely. Man. smells beautiful. It
was good. It was good stuff
really had a nice aroma. You find I was like the aromas of
the of the engines of the kind of fuel they use, which is
mostly alcohol. I always thought that was a plus. So
you're talking you're talking about flying ones. Remember the
deliver one of those airplanes that you had on on like two
strings? And yeah, that's Yeah, exactly. It wasn't,
it wasn't alcohol was that it was this wasn't as easy as it
looks, by the way.
That was like, and this is a novice mode, which would be like
the engine all the way back and little little ratchets. And then
so essentially, you had this plastic handle with with a
string on each side. And if you move your hand up, then you know
that would move the airlines up. And so the plane would go up.
And if you moved it down, then it would crash and burn and
create a hole. Which common like instantly, like, no worries.
It'll just it'll you can snap it right back together. Yeah, mine
was broken after one go. Oh, wow. That's interesting. Did you
do that with your kids? Or is this did you do this
yourself? No. When I was a kid, we used to do that. Okay. Oh, so
that carried over to when I was a kid. Interestingly enough. I
mean, were there still 10 years difference? or eight
or Well, nowadays, I don't think see so much of it. I think
nowadays, it's all remote control, remote
control. And no, probably less engines because you know, that
was kind of the thing you just bought you go down to the toy
store. Now we need a license. And you know, I'm sure this
isn't you know, you the cops come if you're flying this thing
around on the street.
Yeah. Well, anyway, this little engines were cool. Yeah, they
were. Anyway. So what do we got today? They didn't notice. I
didn't hear anything. I know what's
going on. Unfortunately, I'm struggling to find anything.
So I guess we can talk about Syria?
Do we have to? Let me let me just kick it off with Did you
see this Press TV report? No. Alright. So Press TV is of
course from the Iranians. And I guess do they broadcast? Are
they on anywhere? Or is it just all internet that we get them
on? Or
I've never seen them on anywhere in it? Yeah. And
they do have English hosts English speaking house and this
was this was the report this kind of summed it all up?
Well, let's say we're the foreign banks and surgeons have
taken responsibility for last week's Camella chemical attack
with which the US and its allies are blaming on the Syrian
government. militants in the domestic of some of of goto
admitted to Dale gavlak, a freelance AP journalist who
broke the story for MintPress news that they received the
chemical weapons from Saudi Arabia. The insurgents have also
said that the casualties were the result of mishandling of the
chemical ordinance which happened because they were not
properly trained to handle such material. A few months ago,
shocking footage posted on the Internet showed insurgents
testing chemical weapons on laboratory rabbits and making
threats to use them against Syrians.
Muhammad Muhammad. Were you on your big feet again? You kick
that bottle over? I think I think there's merit I think
there's merit to the story by the way.
I think there is two makes makes a lot of Get a little too
annoyed by the memes that we keep getting thrown it gassing
their own people massacring their own how does this make any
sense in a war scenario the A What are we gonna do? I don't
know there's some of our our buddies over there some of our
soldiers as gas I think for kicks because we're sick my
you know, even though I'm going to break my own rule, I found
McCain warmonger McCain to be almost I mean almost funny. On
on Piers Morgan.
Curiously, curiously, by the way, I think McCain of all these
guys even though he's always presenting himself as some tough
cookie is maybe one of the funniest guys. I think he's got
to be a great guy to go have a beer with?
Yes, him and Rick Perry together what a threesome we'd have we'd
swap dresses the whole deal it'd be great. So here is warmonger
McCain on pierce the Pierce Piers Morgan show, which I mean
if I know for a fact has less people watching them listen to
this podcast
and all you do when you bring no show is promote him bigger
audience I know. But
why can't we get McCain on the show? Would we do a guest if
McCain came on the show for once we break? No, we're never gonna
do it. All right, good. Then we'll just
roll with it. You can go interview him and then we can
put some clips on the show. He's got to be meta.
This would turn out bad if I interviewed him, but he's almost
it. Listen to his voice. I've never heard him this excited.
It's like if it's, it's like he's on, you know, amphetamines
or something. It's really interesting. First, it's gonna
lay out the whole Middle East in 45 seconds.
Well, first of all, we have watched Syria evolve into one of
the great humanitarian tragedies in recent history, there is
100,000 Dead a million now children are refugees. The
conflict is spread to Jordan to Lebanon. Iraq is now in chaos
and resurrecting al Qaeda Bay. The Iranians are there 5000
Hezbollah fighting on the side of Bashar Al Assad. daily
flights of weapons fly in Iranian and Russian aircraft
into Damascus in a very unfair fight. And now we've had
numerous instances of the use of chemical weapons. The latest
being the largest
man sounds like a good vacation destination, that whole Middle
East. Sounds like a ball. Here. Here he is with his voice just
going on.
I'm gonna stop you here for a second. Sure. You could have
played that clip without ever mentioning Piers Morgan, because
you never brought him into the clip. You're right. And you
could you're right, you're right. Talk Show. You're right.
And I'm not going to talk about your
right. Or your right, I will send the check back to Jeff
Zucker. I'm sorry, I'm, I'm being paid to promote CNN,
which you ignore the stacks of dead bodies without a mark on
him. When I heard this, I'm like, Would you do it the stacks
of dead bodies without embargo? Would you ignore your stacks of
dead bodies without a mark on him? You know, and he's
he's trying to, like make it that it's so ridiculous that
he's laughing about it. But I'm not buying it. I think he's
generally garnering some pleasure from this. He's like,
he's not getting would you
ignore that? It's already been established that as many as 10
times at least as many as 30. Were chemical weapons have
already been used. There's no doubt about that. Oh, deserve
any doubt be 100%? Sure. Absolutely. Did it for a Yeah, I
couldn't tell if you were Piers Morgan, and you were
fortunately, I'm sorry. So
here's the here's the thing, if that he's asserts that they've
already been used. And again, there's 30 incidences or what I
know what the hell he's talking. Nobody knows. Any of this is
true. How come that wasn't the red line? How come? That's not
John. Okay.
Look, you and I are not going to have this discussion. Right.
We're not going to actually try and put any, any any any kind of
logic into it. Just now please. Okay. All right. All right. All
right. Quick statement. We're done with Can I like kind of the
Pierce is his job is to say, how can you be 100% Sure that's his
only job and McCain forgets that Pierce is supposed to do that.
Here's why I can because we know he's already used. Why wouldn't
he use him again? in larger quantities? I am more playing
devil's advocate to be honest. disagreement. But let me
know not John. We discussed Pierce would play devil's
advocate then you answer to ease up buddy. I will ask
you one question says, How can you be 100%? Sure, on the
evidence that we've seen that it wasn't a rogue element of the
rebels, deliberately letting off chemical weapons to try and lure
America to trap. That is an argument some people are putting
forward.
And pigs flies.
Only only in Floyd shows the pigs fly is what he said. That's
his answer. How can you know that it's 100% sure that that
Assad gas people, well, pigs fly,
but that folds, they've rebels don't have those weapons, they
don't have the chemical weapons. So how could and there's ample
evidence that is going to be forthcoming? The difference
between this here's the body stacked up, okay. And the ample
evidence in Iraq?
Where did me ask you a question? Where did you see the bodies
stacked up on the social media
stacked of them and strewn out? I have not seen the advert. And
I think that's just that's just a B roll shot from someone
that's from Iraq. Yeah. This drone out this drone out
Saturday, anytime now.
And then there's a bunch of kids laying in a in a bundle, and
just laying there, they didn't bother closing their eyes or
doing anything. I mean, which doesn't make a lot of sense when
they have everybody else neatly wrapped in white. And then
there's a guy shaking, two guys shaking
here. But he keeps saying that, you know, how can you dispute
the evidence of stacked bodies? I'm like, I haven't I haven't
seen stack bodies. He has? Well, he actually, I think not maybe I
misunderstood the way he said this. But he I think he misspoke
in this particular little clip here.
I think it's put him into a very difficult and contradictory
prison position, because this wasn't the first time that
Bashar Assad crossed the Red Line. There are some allegations
that it was many as 30 times Absolutely. So many is 10. And
there's no doubt that this is chemical weapons. Come on. Does
anybody really believe that? That those aren't chemical
weapons, those bodies are those children's stacked up? And and
so that that's just a facade, and the other facade is?
Wait a minute, did he just say that to facade?
Yeah, he did. I think
he meant to say that
people babbling away, and he did and the truth comes out. Yeah.
It's like, Don't give him beer before he goes on the air.
Because he literally said, this is a facade. There's
no doubt that this is chemical weapons. Come on. Just anybody
really believes that, that those aren't chemical weapons. Those
bodies are those children's stacked up. And so that that's
just a facade, and the other facade
is just a facade. Okay. Anyone on the Tonight Show?
He's pounding the drum. I would like you know, there used to be
a rule. Here's my thinking on this. Raytheon is at an all time
high, it started skyrocketing.
Oh, well, you're following the money Hold on a second
$1.4 million a missile. Yeah. And so Raytheon's really
screaming in the stock market. Also, there is, you know, they
tried to computerize was very easy to to computerize the
documents because Congress and the aides and the Congressman
can invest in anything they want to based on anything they know
they don't they're not subject to any insight or anything.
No. Well, well, there was legislation signed by the
President. And they do have to submit this within 90 days of
making a trade and the only record of it is in the basement,
where you can get a photocopy of the microfiche,
right, you have to go to what they first they proposed putting
it online, which is easy to do. But then they changed it. So you
actually if I wanted to find out who owns shares in Raytheon, and
when they bought and I would suspect McCain is one of them. I
have to go to Washington DC and scrounge around a file system
that I'm unfamiliar with to find the record I'm looking for and
then I have to pay a buck or something they get a copy of it.
It's not no one's going to do this. I mean, even though
there's they shouldn't be doing it the Washington Post. There
should be one person full time office. Yeah, yeah. But there's
probably nobody there half the time. Well, we can't You can't.
We can't go in today. I'm sure it's not as easy to get in there
as you'd imagine. So So Raytheon stock is skyrocketing. Now. They
have to shoot off. In fact, there was let me look at this
article. There's an article of all places in Politico, and they
were bitching. It says reports of White House's planning
attacks to punish Damascus to punish the masses for the use of
chemical weapons sent Raytheon stock to a two week high. And a
reawaken grumblings this reawakened listen to this
reawakening grumblings in Congress that the military
doesn't buy enough time. tomahawks quote, there have been
many of us who have been concerned for years about
maintaining our missile capabilities that rob
me raw rockets.
Rob Bishop, Republican of Utah, a member of the House Armed
Services Committee. unpaper, the Pentagon buys 196 Multiply that
by 1.4 million Tomahawk missiles a year.
Okay, can it can I just interject for one second? I'm
looking at the chart because this is what you said it and
then I went and checked fact checked you. In February of
2013. Raytheon stock, which is RTN on the New York Stock
Exchange was at let's see. 40 $44. close on Friday. $75. It
has, like 80% 80 to 8080 to 85.
Right. And if you're buying puts are called calls, you're buying
some calls on that, yeah, you'd be you make 10 times your money
and and you'd be rolling in hookers and blow.
And by the way, this is this discouraging, because we should
have seen this coming up Dow broad. Yeah.
Hey, John, you're the guy that's supposed to say Adam, go buy,
you know, these calls and Raytheon or whatever, just just
send me a link just so I can click on it.
Now, of course, if this doesn't happen, because you could they
can, because they were showing you know, if you remember some
of the early clips, Oh, they got 80 missiles, they're gonna fire
they're gonna fire 80 missiles on this ship and 40 from that
that's,
that's $150 million. Right there.
Yes, during the sequester? I might and let's
not let's forget what it cost to roll the ship out.
Right. During the sequester. I might add, yeah. D. Is
that just a coincidence? You think? What, that it's all
happening during the sequester, of course,
oh, they don't they don't pay attention to the sequester. When
when when they have to punish Damascus, exactly whatever the
case is, there's this this is, obviously somebody had to pay
days, I think they've already made their money they can all
sell hold out, you know, do the do the good thing with Congress,
keep talking about it, don't do anything, right, and then pull
them in, then go short with the puts and say, We're not going to
launch any of these missiles. We're not going to be buying too
many. Ooh, Raytheon, stock hits. So
you're saying that now is the time to buy to short it to buy
on the downside that it's going to that it's going to drop like
a rock possibly down to 60? Yeah. So you think that they're
not going to fire them off? You don't think they're going to
light them up?
Well, I'm getting to think that more and more since the ever
since the British Parliament decided to short short Raytheon.
Now, let me ask you a question. Because I looked at this. And of
course, people know that David Cameron went to his parliament
and said, Okay, you know, let's, the representatives of the
British people, should we get involved? And they said, No, but
you know, when you look at the the underlying facts that, you
know, there were 1010 Members of Parliament who were like, Oh, I
didn't know there was a vote going on. I was pooping. Had you
know, oh, you know, I had a conflict, a scheduling conflict.
There's actually discussion going on right now that because
of Congress, our cars didn't take a vote. And there's
discussion in various forums as who the the chickenshit guys
are, who aren't going to vote one way or the other. And I
think that's what happened in Parliament because they didn't
want to take sides in case. Anyone saw
that. Do you think that or do you think it was a setup
intended either a to embarrass Cameron or quite possibly, to
embarrass Obama, or to short Raytheon? And that actually
seems the most logical?
Yes, but I think Cameron was in on this whole scam because he
was such a loudmouth. Greg plenty of clips of him. Yeah.
Oh, we know we got to do this. We got to do that. We knew they
were they need to be punished. And he went on and on knowing
that the British public wouldn't go along with it, but it makes
him look good. And Obama who I tried, I tried. What can I do?
Parliament? Yeah. I don't think it makes him look bad at all.
It's just you know, because good throws right back to the
parliament. And they decided now they left you know, all we have
left is this. Well, here.
Here's listen to what McCain had to say when he was on the
tonight. Did you see him on The Tonight Show?
No, I missed that. All right.
This is a little short clip and he talks about
that you caught it.
You know, we actually the other night, we said hey, why don't we
just watch it tonight? We wound up watching David Letterman
because it was like 20th anniversary on CBS or whatever.
It was pretty lame anniversary show. Yeah,
it was but yeah, there you go. So yeah, sometimes I slip by
I'll admit to
it. Why would the UN not say you know, Senator,
I'm not me. I'm the I'm the frontman for the New World
Order. I want you to come on my show. And we'll we'll tell the
people I'll 2 million of them or I'll change them Okay,
that's a good idea. Why don't we go bomb the runway? Why doesn't
need to go
down the runway? This is this is what this is how it's propagated
to the American people. We're only going to bomb the runway.
Don't worry, okay, no problem. We're gonna bomb the runway. No
soldiers involved, nobody's being killed. You're just
blowing up land. No one's gonna be killed just blowing up land
J, why doesn't the wind go for this?
The UN has turned into an organization that, in my
estimation, in many ways, is a waste of taxpayers dollars.
Right now the UN is ascertaining whether this was a chemical
attack. And I think it's fairly obvious. Since you see these
bodies stacked up with not a mark on them still haven't seen
the stacks. And in the in the head of the United Nations who
said, but we won't apportion blame? Why not gonna say who is
responsible for it? That's your tax dollars at work? Why won't
they say because they want to be neutral. They want to be
neutral, about about everything, and I feel badly about the
British. There are dear friends but they're no longer a world
power. It's
they're no longer be leveraged up the budget with Raytheon.
He is funny. They talk about your tax dollars taxpayer
dollars at work. That's you, McCain. This is No, of course,
I'm I was like you I'm sure really like, wow, this is an
interesting move when the President came out and said, you
know, hey, I've decided that we need to take military action,
however, I'm going to take it to take it to a vote. And then, you
know, actually, for those who haven't, I mean, we had the
clips if you do want to play any of that of the President talking
about a lot of people listened to our show to get to get the
news. Yes. All right. I have it in sequence. Okay. So here's a
little news. And these are, these are short. So this is
good. This is this is how the President started off his rose
garden speech.
Several 100 of them were children, young girls and boys
gassed to death by their own government.
For what time and what end?
Oh, yeah. Yeah, it makes so
much sense is an assault on human dignity. It also presents
a serious danger to our national security risks making a mockery
of the global prohibition on the use of chemical weapons,
the global prohibition, this is a new term, John, the global
prohibition
dangerous our friends and our partners along Syria's borders,
including Israel, Jordan, Turkey, Lebanon and Iraq. It
could lead to escalating use of chemical weapons. Yeah, or their
proliferation to terrorist groups who would do our people
harm.
As I said, just you I mean, to me the term again, I
was just running it down, I'd lost it.
Prohibition global prohibition global global prohibition. You
know, the mean, when the President comes out and says
this and you know, any any person who has not been
mesmerized and hypnotized by the, you know, the scan lines of
your telescreen, you know, you have to say, Well, why would why
would a guy do that? Is it just because he's like, an evil
dictator sitting there stroking his wife pushing, laughing. And
there's a problem that the real problem is asthma, asthma, Asaad
al Assad is his wife. She's the problem in all of this because,
you know, she was in 2012, featured in Vogue magazine.
She's born in the UK, educated in the UK has been a fashion
icon. And you know, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt hung out
with them. They were dining and Angelina Jolie, who I think is
the ambassador for all children and all things dying at the
United Nations. And you know, where is she denouncing her
friend Osma al Assad. So now we have to go on this campaign to
make sure we've got all the bases covered. This is USA
Today. Who do video
apparently today's cover story and other side to the conflict
in Syria? The British born wife of the Syrian president, today's
Erica Hill has her story, Erica good. Okay.
Okay. Good morning. Could you please slander her Mac Good
morning to you awesome. aulassa is standing by her man smiling
by his side his recent photos. And she's also inspiring so new
comparisons to other famous wives. What would that other
famous wife be John? Could you figure the meme out?
Michelle Obama No. No.
in pictures.
Brown. No, Marie Antoinette. No. Yeah, here's to be the
ultimate First Lady active and charity work perfectly styled
well educated but she's really evil underneath.
A 2011 Vogue piece called her glamorous, young and very chic
and kind of sexy I like to very good like the point that
the fresh Just and most magnetic First Lady's magnetic very much
into fashion, always looking her best like to travel. She's also
very well educated.
Born in London in 1975 to Syrian parents Osmo Asaad was raised
and educated in England. She worked in banking before
quitting in late 2000. To move to Syria and marry President
Bashir I lost sounds
evil to me, John, I think she's a baddie
where she settled into charity work theory.
She said tyranny work. I think she said tyranny works for
Andrew
Taylor first met Assad in 2002. She was
always seen as the more reasonable the kinder, gentler
face Kreidler of a brutal regime. I'm not going to play
the whole thing because it just goes on and on, but it ends up
with her being compared to Marie Antoinette. Of course, let them
eat cake while my husband slaughters them
slaughters our own people a lot. Yes, because you're gonna
slaughter somebody slaughter you under the slaughter you are the
people trying to take take your country away, slaughter your own
people. Yes. Because that makes so much sense. And I love I
mean, I love
how they always talk about, you know, Assad and his military and
his forces. And I caught our president kind of doing the same
thing yesterday.
Now, I have not made a final decision about various actions
that might be taken to help enforce that norm. But as I've
already said, I have had my military and our team, my
military,
really, I would say that's a little flub
my million military. That's right. Yes, yes.
Okay, so here's, he's decided to take military action.
After careful deliberation, I have decided that the United
States should take military action against Syrian regime
targets. So not being an open ended intervention, we would not
put boots on the ground. Instead, our action would be
designed to be limited in duration and scope. But I'm
confident we can hold the Assad regime accountable for their use
of chemical weapons, deter this kind of behavior, and degrade
their capacity to carry it out. Our military has positioned
assets in the region, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs,
has informed me that we are prepared to strike whenever we
choose.
And then he goes on to say the incredible thing that but but
having made my decision as Commander in Chief, based on
what I am convinced is our national security interests. I'm
also mindful that I'm the president of the world's oldest
constitutional democracy. I've long
he's adjusted that. That's funny. What he used to say that
the you say the oldest democracy?
Yeah, there is now the world's oldest constitutional World's
Oldest
constitution, which is different is the world's oldest democracy
is in Iceland, right?
This is constitutional democracy and good point
rooted not just in our military might, but in our example, as a
government of the people, by the people, and for the people. And
that's why I've made a second decision sitting on the face of
the people. I will seek authorization for the use of
force from the American people's representatives in Congress.
Whoa. Right. So So yeah, I
looked into this quite deeply because, you know, as a as a
constitutional professor, myself, I'm always interested
when he brings this kind of stuff up and, and what exactly
is he seeking? And, you know, I think that there's a lot of
confusion. People, first of all, what he's doing is he's
addressing the War Powers Resolution, which I'd like to
point out is not call the War Powers Act. This is a big
mistake. I hear constantly on the mainstream news. It's a
resolution and the War Powers resolution. It doesn't really
give anything, is it? It was it was really meant as a
clarification on on the presidential powers in the
Constitution. Did you know that you know what was in his you
know, how this works, how this war powers resolution thing fits
together. And most presidents actually don't like the War
Powers resolution. They think that they should be total
dictators and do whatever they want. Right. But the President
sent a letter to to Congress. And he in that letter, he is
specifically asking for a it's very, it's very simple. If
you've seen this, it's very, very simple note, he says he
wants authorization. And he actually wrote wrote the
document. The only the only thing Congress has to do is come
back and go yay or nay. So a authorization the President is
authorized to use the Armed Forces of the United States as
he determines to be necessary and appropriate in connection
with the use of chemical weapons or other weapons. of mass
destruction in the conflict in Syria in order to one, prevent
or deter the use or proliferation, including the
transfer to terrorist groups or other state or non state actors
within to or from Syria have any weapons of mass destruction,
including chemical or biological weapons or components or of or
materials using such weapons or protect the United States and
its allies and partners against the threat posed by such
weapons. And why don't we just say we put the crown on his
head, you're king, go ahead, do whatever you want. specific
statutory authorization consistent with Section Eight a
one of the War Powers resolution, Congress declares
that this section is intended to constitute specific step this is
very important, this is constitutionally very important
was written here. I'm reading again, he's saying that this
will be a vote and this vote will say that consistent with
Section A one of the War Powers Resolution Congress declares
this section of the War Powers resolution is intended to
constitute specific statutory authorization within the meaning
of five B of the War Powers resolution. And what and what he
is saying is essentially what he said,
Yet, while I believe I have the authority to carry out this
military action without specific congressional authorization, I
know that the country will be stronger if we take this course
and our actions will be even more effective.
So he's basically saying I believe I can do whatever I
want. Because it's not you know, he's not declaring war. And so
this is all this sneaky stuff that they're trying to like it's
all about the words on the 18th century that declaring war meant
something different. You know, it's like unless someone writes
it up on paper with a with a quill and ink it's not really
the same wink wink nudge nudge. So what is happening here is not
just it whether we go or not, it will forever I would say ratify
the power of the president and what he can do with our military
at any at his beck and call essentially
Yeah, it will be for all the presidents to come
Yes, most presidents by the way have always said they found the
War Powers resolution to be you know, unconstitutional and not
and you know, doesn't doesn't adhere to them. They've all said
screw it when I'm not even listening to that.
Well, that will last for long
Well, so here's here's the question we'll the
Hillary's gonna do.
She's gonna laugh when we kill him that's what she's that's her
that's her script. Well, we kill who What do you mean when we
killed Who do you remember when when we killed the Gadhafi? I
mean, that is the land of unconfirmed it. Yes, we came. We
saw a die
when they when they kill Assad, she'd be left. Yeah, she's
gonna be laughing. Yeah. Party Party time. Exactly. That's what
she does get area. Yeah. Oh, we killed him. What an idiot. And I
took her dresses
like that? Yeah. So I got a few clips whoever did be stuck on
this topic for a while today.
But I did kind of ask you a question. Yeah, I'll ask it
again. Do you think that the American people will tell
whether whether it's something happens or not will will cause
enough ruckus to have their representatives in Congress say,
No, we're not going to do this?
Well, I think they already have these congressmen all went home
for the vacation. And they all everyone I've heard from that
has come. That's that's talking from either home or they're
already headed back. They've already gotten an earful. And I
think that's the reason that the President wanted to get them
back home earlier, because he was supposed to be back on the
ninth of September, but there's trying to get him home this
weekend. So they can discuss this problem. And I think the
real reason is because these guys are just hearing it from
the public on what what is his waste of money? And I'm sure
they bring up stuff like the sequester and his missiles or
what they
really use anything. There's anyone who is there anyone go to
townhall
meetings? Yes.
Do you don't think anyone just says, Hey, I have an idea.
Hello, can we stop killing people? I'm just not not all for
that right now. Is it? No one does that they all talk about
the money in the sequester. Yeah, You've robbed you
probably. Right. How sad is that? Well, I'm
sure there's some of that especially, you know, old
fashioned Democrats who were, you know, the ones that are
completely out of power that are kind of progressive and they
don't like the idea of killing anybody. They're pacifists.
Yeah, I'm sure they bitch and moan but yeah, they probably
have long hair and their backs, and they wear
dresses, and they weren't dressed. Why? Why? Why are you
tweeting during the show? That's not okay. I just tweeted once
you're answering a guy during the show,
I am not doing another one. I just happen to have because you
had me go retweet. I had the thing open and this guy annoyed
Mi,
blocked, blocked and reported as spam. I do want to just take us
back quickly. And then I want to hear what you found for us. I
want to take us back to March 21 2011.
It is US policy that Gadhafi needs to go. But let me
emphasize that we anticipate this transition to take place in
a matter of days, and not a matter of weeks just wondering
of the days not weeks, that that will the last time that we did
this. And we're still there. And how's Libya, by the way, now
that we've gotten rid of the evil dictator who was a mess,
not only responsible for the killing Americans in Pan Am
flight 103, but also for killing his own people. They seem really
happy, don't they? I see nothing but disco balls and unicorns and
rainbows and general Joy
words. So
it's okay. You're trying to interrupt me. That's why I do
more.
This days. Now, I want to mention the people out there
that were the only produced broadcast of, of anyone that
kept keeps pointing this out this days, not weeks. Everyone
else just says you played at once. And then they Well,
whatever. I'm just making the
well that's, you know, that's because we are host and produce
at the same time.
Yes. And also we are only supported by the public. Yes. In
fact, if I got brought my mail up right now, would it be a good
time to thank our executive producer
only only if I can say in the morning to you John C. Dvorak.
Well, in the morning to you, Adam curry in the morning and
all ships at sea boots on the ground feet in the air subs in
the water. And also all the days and nights out there.
Yes. And in the morning to our human resources, who had been in
the chat room waiting diligently for the show to start no agenda.

Hendrix while you were getting your computer gear together. And
we enjoyed that together. Thank you to our artists Joshua credit

it was just good. He had the missile going. And he had a
little funny slogan with with the font that was large enough.
Yeah. We always said, Hey, Syria, here's a freedom coming.
You know, I think these artists are interesting because they all
run in bursts. They do. Yeah, they do. You're right. They get
on a roll and they hit hit, hit, hit hit. And then they
Well, it's hard. It's hard. It's hard. Things like

I'm taking a look right now. The President's analysts 1967
satirical. This is from the book of knowledge to terrible comedy
written by Theodore flicker, James Coburn. Okay, that's a
real Yeah, that's a real actor. Seeing the film's elements of
political satire science fiction resembles many of the spice
flutes that proliferate in the mid 60s, in the wake of the
James Bond phenomenon. Yeah, our man Flint. Wow, John, I'll give
you right okay, the film's themes include modern ethics and
privacy concerns specifically regarding the intrusion of the
telecom system working with the US government into the private
lives of the country citizens. Oh my god, this is so on my list
to watch I've recently what is very fun and it's funny. It's a
funny movie. Although Colburn gets on your nerves because he
plays his character just just

Sunday Eros days. Yeah, that's a little a little

Onward Ryan back 333 33 from Rancho Cucamonga Anaheim, Azusa
and Cucamonga. Greetings from Rancho Cucamonga. As a six year
listener. I may very well be the king of the douchebags because I
have never donated to the best podcast in the universe. After
six years,

though? Rancho Rancho?
I think we have another listener in Rancho Cucamonga. Okay. I'm
doing so today plug my friend Ron Boyd's awesome new app. The
no agenda karma generator available in Apple's App Store.
Yeah, I put it in the in the show notes on the last on the
last episode is pretty funny. It's cool app.
Adam mentioned in less than a show and my friend Ron came in
as an Associate Executive Producer, but I strongly feel
Ron's app deserves a second plug. All of the no agenda
listeners need to go right now and download it. Ron's app is
outstanding as most of the jingles blah blah blah. Sorry to
be such a cheap ass bastard. I may never be able to give at the
level of Baron von Pels mockers. But I do hope to eventually
become a knight. And by the way, he's the Grand Duke. Thank you
for all the informative and entertaining shows. Please give
me a D douching. And Pelosi jobs, jobs jobs. Absolutely.
And again, it is the no agenda karma generator in the iTunes
App Store. You've been deep

happiest
guy was wondering what they're laughing at? Well, if you are
jokes or you know he has some funny lines that they're just
thrown in because we're light hearted about them.
strangely enough, it's the stuff that we don't even know as funny
that's it's just you and me like being honest. And then people
like you guys are hilarious.

cancer free or something. So he's, you
know, came back completely negative. There was nothing. You

your biopsy, and that's all that's not fun.
Yeah, no, the whole thing is terrible. Yeah. But anyway,

Samsung TV and blu ray app. Did you know this?
No. I'm glad to hear it.
Yeah. Do you have a Samsung TV? No, no. Okay. But the guys who I
guess the guys who make the twit app did this. And the nice
little did this. What's interesting is the description
of the show on the app itself, but there's a link in the show
notes. Um, I'm gonna read. John will like it. It's a free app,

how to get your emails out of the Gmail promotion tab,
specifically the no agenda newsletter that will that's a
good little how to that will help you if you can go to
blog.curry.com For a moment there John sir Dallas
Spartanburg once a year, his son Dallas does something very
special for the show. Or you get to log that curry that Yeah.
blog.curry.com and you'll see their demo Derby and you have to
click on the link to reveal the pictures. Oh, yes. His son
Dallas participated in the demolition derby once again with
the no agenda 33 mobiel magic number Shut up. Say
ut
it's it's a it's a beaut. Unfortunately, I think he got I
got a really hard hit and the battery like flew out and he was
he was out of the race.
Yeah, it didn't take much at all the memes on The Shed up slave
no agenda hit him in the mouth Get A Life somebody
else might that might have happened after after the crash.
Get a life loser. I love it though. That's fantastic that he
does that. I just wish to your car would hang
you know we should probably sponsor a few demo Derby cars
well what is there to sponsor you have to buy him a tire
usually your son Ain't
I had a perfectly good Range Rover we could have thrown into
a great car for ya. I've always wanted to drive in a demo Derby
I know the techniques that you you have to drive backwards
you have to drive the the reverse direction of your engine
essentially Yeah,
right so you're always bet RAM and people from the backside
which I think would best car for that would be I believe a 77
Lincoln. I think it'd be a perfect car for that.
Well the problem is, is you people always go for the axles
because you know that people think is the engine you have to
disable but it's really the axle once you can make this thing
break an axle then you know you're out as well. Yeah, I
think the 77 Lincoln may be prone to axial breakage,
but that's assuming somebody hits you got a big 460 engine
and been driving around like a maniac. True. It's true. It
takes some take some effort.
Also, the freedom controller is now open. And yeah, I'm what I'm
going to do is before so only for people who are listening to
the podcast live and you'll be able to sign up go to
cart.currie.com car t cart.currie.com. And you'll need
these the secret Word. That's the one I'm going to change

to be able to sign up for our beta. Only if you're listening
live right now. And the secret word of course is in the
morning.
It's not a word.
Yeah, it's one. It's all one word. No spaces in the morning
so that that technically is a phrase, but it's all one word.
Is that how you say it? All? One word, all lowercase? No spaces.
Yeah, that's what you do. Okay, all right. Well, let's take us
out of this segment.
Okay, I shall do that. Please do this. One thing for us is the
formula propagated. Our formula is this. We go out. We hit
people in the mouth
the freedom controller, by the way is no there's no money in
it. This is just a way to get off Facebook. G plus, that's all
I'm trying to do. What
I think is a great idea. I wish everyone would just get off
Facebook and g plus without needing any coaxing.
Yeah, well, that's good luck with that. And that's not gonna
happen. Now they need they need free trinkets. Oh, look, it's
free. By the way, John. Like I need to me we need to plus you.
This is very important month the President has proclaimed Let me
see 123456789 proclamations for the month of September. Starting
off of course with a lot Yes. Starting off with Labor Day. Of
course, Labor Day will be Monday, which is when all
working Americans Yeah. I'll get one day off. Guaranteed
guaranteed by presidential proclamation. September is
National Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month. It is also by
presidential proclamation National Alcohol and Drug
Addiction Recovery Month by presidential proclamation.
National Childhood Obesity Awareness Month. By presidential
proclamation the month of September is National Wilderness
month. Oh, it's a good one. By presidential proclamation
National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. Hey, this is a
great month to be born. Oh wait by presidential proclamation
national Prostate Cancer Awareness Month. But it feel
your prostate John, how are we feeling? And then finally, this
has got to be my favorite. I'll read this one. Time and again,
America faces crises that test our readiness and challenge our
resolve from natural disasters like hurricanes, tornadoes and
floods to shootings, cyber incidents and even acts of
terrorism. While my administration is working
tirelessly to avert national tragedies, it is every
American's responsibility to be prepared. By planning for
emergencies. Individuals can protect themselves and their
families while also contributing to their community's resilience.
During National Preparedness Month, we refocus our efforts on
readying ourselves, our families, our neighbors, and our
nation for any crisis we may face.
But like the way they slipped a cyber thing in there.
Right and shootings I liked. I liked the shootings. By the way,
just shooting from floods to shootings. Oh, what's that? Just
another shooting, man? Don't worry about it. It's a shooting.
Yeah, of course be prepared is the motto of the Boy Scouts.
That is the Boy Scouts marching song. So there you have it, who
I now have a huge lawsuit, the pedo bear lawsuit against the
Boy Scouts now so anyway, and it is also of course the month in
which I was born in 1964. I will be celebrating on Tuesday. this
coming Tuesday. this coming Tuesday is my failure to put
your name on the list. No, I'm not gonna like myself.
I demanded. For them, like just thanks to John. No, John wishes.
I wish you a happy birthday. You're gonna be 50
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. 49
No, you're gonna be 50
next year. Yeah. You're gonna be 60 that's wishful thinking, but
okay, you'll make it John's like crap if he doesn't make 60 What
am I going to do? Wasn't my income gonna be I can cruise for
a month or something but without curry you know? What are we
going to do that believe me, I worry about you too.
Let's play a couple clips please. Let's get the British
Parliament knows vote out of the way so we can hear them yelling
and screaming
the eyes to the right 272 the nose to the left 285
Thank you
Why can't we have that? Congress? That is cool. Can you
just imagine like Boehner going? Order? No, he's not he's going.
Yes. Play lead play longing here. Actually, I actually hear
the word be saying, Oh,
well, it doesn't really matter what he's saying. floated
volcano. I've got an exploding volcano erupted. Come yourself,
man. The eyes to the right 272 the nose to the left 285 So the
noes have it. The noes have it. Unlock? Unlock.
I don't know what the unlock means. Someone's gonna have to
explain it. But there's somebody standing there and then when he
says unlock they leave.
They're not allowed out until the vote. Is that it? I
don't know what the deal is. Maybe they lock them into place.
The door keeper? I
know. I said it says right here unlock the door keepers then
unlock the door to the division lobbies. Yeah, so I guess
they're kept in until until the vote is counted. Yeah, I like
that. We should do that at school. I
come in and do it at school. Unlock.
Alright, now you can leave.
So I've got to live. I've teased this in the newsletter and I'm
going to I think is a good time to play it because we might
we're still talking about Syria a little bit. I do have a couple
of things about Syria. I want to mention, but I we might as well
do. I've decided that John, if I'm going to play any John Kerry
clips, I'm sorry. You might John F. Kerry John F Kerry clips, I
am going to sweeten them. And so I've decided that well, what
would be the absolute best thing because the guy's a slow talker.
And yeah, it's some issue. Debate.
Have you noticed the lizard tongue on that dude?
Oh, yeah, he sticks it all up. And it's a little bitty pointy
thing.
And I have a creepy I have learned from the agency
professionals, that when you're evaluating someone talking,
whenever they stick their tongue out, that's usually right after
the lie. And if you really look at when he's talking, and that
tongue, and it's it's freaky. Yeah, it's a free could you
imagine like tongue in that guy? Oh, that's really horrible
thought.
Well, thanks for bringing it up. My pleasure. So yeah, yeah,
that's interesting, because I was, it's like a tell it's like
a 10. Interesting tell, we should pay more attention to it.
But so I decided, well, what would be the only thing that
would make sense in a way to sweeten his little speech. So
here's a little two minutes of Kerry, delivering his commentary
about the this crisis in Syria.
President Obama has spent many days now consulting with
Congress and talking with leaders around the world about
the situation in Syria. All of us on his national security
team, to consult with the leaders of Congress as well,
including the leadership, congressional and national
security committees. And he asked us to consult about what
we know, regarding the weapons attack in the Damascus suburbs
last week. I will tell you that as someone who spent nearly
three decades in the United States Congress, I know that
that consultation is the right way for a president to approach
a decision of when and when to use military force. It's
important to ask the tough questions and get the tough
answers before taking the test afterwards. And I believe as
President Obama does, that it is also important to discuss this
directly with the American people. That's our
responsibility to talk with the citizens who have entrusted all
of us in the administration in the Congress with responsibility
for their security. That's why this morning's release of our
government's unclassified estimate of what took place in
Syria is so important. Its findings are is clear. I'm not
asking you to take my word. Read yourself, every those listening
all read for yourselves the evidence from 1000s of sources,
the evidence that was already publicly available, and read for
yourselves the verdict reached by our intelligence community
about the chemical weapons attack, the Assad regime
inflicted on the opposition and on opposition controlled or
contested neighborhood It's in the Damascus suburbs on the
early morning of August 23
What part did you actually sweeten? John couldn't quite
figure out the last pretty good could have been 42nd shorter
probably. Yeah probably I got something kind of similar that
our producer drew did and you just tell me when you when you
think it's enough but I thought he did a very good job something
similar but of course not with the finesse I mean doing a laugh
track in the right spot is you know, that takes some kind of
some expertise 12 channels on that baby.
As a father, I can't get the image out of my head of a man
who held up his bed child Wailing Wall chaos swirled
around the images of entire families dead in their beds
without a drop of blood or even a visible wounds, bodies
reporting and spasms human suffering that we could never
ignore.
So sick days drone campaign in Pakistan has killed dozens of
civilians who've gone to rescue victims or attending funerals
anybody
could claim that an attack of this staggering scale it could
be contrived fabric need to contract their conscience nice
and their own moral compass between
282 and 535 civilians have been reported as killed including
more than 60 children everything these images
I'll play at the end of show clip i like it it's good Yeah,
but it goes on for like three more minutes I'll play at the
end of show clip but it's just a long clip Yeah, what yeah, what
I love what he did though is he overlaid the talking points of
like that of the of the dingbat and carry Yeah, now it's the
banjo it kind of does it for me to LinkedIn on stacks of dead
children dangling, dangling, dangling, of course, so you can
always have the moron down under Kevin Rudd for someone finally
got the clip for me.
I said at the outset that our intention is that Australia will
be represented by the foreign minister, but I would continue
to be in consultation with global leaders on this question.
We are in uncertain times. That's just the truth of it. The
quite wrong of me to to pretend to interview that these are
normal times. It is not normal for a government in the world to
take weapons of mass destruction, destruction.
Can you believe that he actually slipped on that one? Wow. What
an Add Clip, Ed? Well, the quality is right. It's rough
getting stuff from I don't know what's going on. I mean, I'm
trying to follow the election there. But it's like
you use you can get your stuff from ABC. Australian
Broadcasting Corporation there. They have a website that I've
gotten clips from.
Yeah, but this one was unfindable for some reason.
So there's these two guys on our nation's treasure. PBS news
hour. So sola and Shields and Brooks Brooke is the Brooks is
the guy from The New York Times and he's he's the represents the
Republicans and shields that Obama bought with the O button
we'll talk about I'm sure Oh, that's later in the show. Yes.
So
it's okay. Actually, it's not okay. Which is not okay.
Because it's okay to be self aware. But it's very
embarrassing for quite a while. It doesn't anyways,
whatever, whatever's
we've got Brooks, guys a bunch of clips. Here's what I've seen.
I've never seen him do this. He looked extremely nervous. He
wasn't on in the studio. He couldn't be in the studio
because he because shields would be looking at him. And he was
playing the role of Evan obat even though he's the Republican,
but it wasn't just that he was delivering the talking points of
one of the intelligence agencies I realized watching this he was
so nervous about it and doing it so poorly because I don't think
they call on him much because they you know, he's not like
Woodward who's like there's all these books and he just seemed
upset but he but he I guess the call comes in you're working for
these guys. And I said look, here's what you have to do you
have to visit the talking point you got to get him across you
gassing their own people massacre. We got it. We got to
get these missiles launched because this Raytheon
right, this stock is too high. We gotta we gotta blow some
cork.
Well, I don't know is as awful as that regime is I'm not sure
we necessarily want to tablet given the alternatives, which is
anarchy. The second thing is their decision makers. So you're
trying to change their calculus, if you raise the cost of doing
what they're doing. There's a chance they won't do it. Again,
that does happen. And it has happened many times in world
history that you raise the cost, they don't do it again. Now
there is a chance that they will do it again. And then we'll have
to make another call. Do we want to escalate and that's clearly a
danger. But I do think the idea if the US says something about
weapons of mass destruction about whether it's in Iran or in
Syria, and we do nothing, then the entire Non Proliferation
regime, which the US has basically been leading for the
past 70 or 80 years, that begins to fray badly, and the costs
down the road are much worse. So raise the costs for Assad, and
then see what happened.
Wow, wow. That's and you're right, he's doing very poorly,
because he didn't even get Iraq in there.
He's very nervous. So nervous, he's like, he's, oh, God, I have
to do this. And again, why would you say, well, we're not trying
to do regime change. We're just gonna, you know, throw a few
missiles there. It's just
gonna blow up land. It's just the runway, no one's gonna die.
So shields who's who's beside himself listening to this guy?
Because it's the arguments he should be using. Right. I took
the other side saying, Well, you know, it's an upside down world.
Now, at one point, he says, I think you're completely wrong.
And that you do is a very strange debate because it but
play the second clip, and we hear his shields comes back, I'm
not going to distinguish on for a long time. So we have I have a
pretty short shorten it up quite a bit. What about that, Mark?
Well, I
mean, I'm just not sure, Judy, how the costs of being raised I
mean, by by simply hitting him with missiles, one time, twice
it. What's been emphasized over and over again, is how short
this is going to be. It's not open ended. It's very days, not
weeks, we've gone through this with what the President is
fighting is exactly what what Prime Minister Cameron is
fighting. And that is, it's the legacy, the poisoning of the
well from Iraq. And it's only 11 years ago, this very week, that
the Vice President knighted states that I can show you that
weapons of mass destruction, that Saddam Hussein is going to
use them against us, against our allies and against our friends.
But what I find interesting is that no, there's no Libya talk
here. No one is sitting here. They're all it's all, of course,
you know, about Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice and the project
for New American Century and Bush, etc. But we're talking in
2011, only two years ago, we went through this in Libya. And
you know, so far the result is weapons everywhere. dead dead
Ambassador dead. You know, it's, it's a mess. It's a fucking mess
is what it is. And no one brings that up. I don't understand.
Well, no, I do, of course. But no, from button. Yeah.
Obviously saying, Yes,
I think I think lack of understanding thing, it's, we're
saying
these things, just to make a point. So he goes on. So I'm
thinking, there's more and more of this. And I'm watching the
guy said, This is not sounding like the same guy. And then he
does clip three, and he drops this little bomb in there. Yeah.
Oh, my God.
I would say also, that if we are in a period of permanent
withdrawal from the Middle East, we'll have what has happened
over the last really year in the Middle East, which is a
devolution for the Arab spring to the Arab winter,
retrospectively at the time, but John McCain and Lindsey Graham
had a point early on in this program, or in this the progress
of the Civil War, that if we'd been a little more
interventionist, back when the opposition was a little more
moderate, a little bit more controllable. That would have
been a good time to act. Well,
so he jumps on the Lindsey Graham, John McCain bandwagon,
nice. Yeah, that's, that's the way to do it.
And so finally, we have the last clip of Brooks where he's just
he's already sold himself down the river. He's not even in the
studios at Yale. And he's just he's just has to finish I guess,
with this.
But what about Mark's point about having a more of a
coalition having more countries? I mean, Great Britain is now not
going to be on board. A number of other countries have said
they won't join in. How much does does it does it matter?
That there aren't going to be many allies? And certainly there
won't be at least apparently there won't be a un signing off
on this
militarily doesn't matter at all. There's no me you can find
some British and French sailors and stick them on the thing, but
they don't really have much. These are American forces that
only have the capacity to do this.
John, this weekend, I'm gonna go find me some French sailors and
stick him on a thing.
Doesn't matter. He takes normally if it was, it was
actually Brooks talking, he would bring up the simple fact
that it is illegal by international law that we've
signed on to to do this. No, no, is totally illegal. And the
funny thing is, we're scolding, you know, Syria because they're
illegal weapons. You know, represents a gag. We're
ourselves violating the International. He doesn't even
talk nobody touches that.
I got I got two words for you. Hiroshima and Nagasaki. What the
words I got for you, but there's nothing nothing compared to the
danger of robbing a couple of French soldiers and sticking
them on a thing. And I'll tell you, I'm glad I'm wearing my
dress.
As for international legitimacy, listen guessing your own people.
It's not a close call, as far as I'm concerned that that demands
a response. I thought that was pretty much settled since World
War One. The fact that other
wasn't the Brits actually who used the gas and rural Mr. Yeah,
it was the Brits, right? I think so. Thanks for watching, please
don't want to sign on. And by the way, a lot do want to sign
on do support the idea that that doesn't seem morally problematic
when you got the atrocity in the case of this, this clear, to me
the the tough call. And I agree with Mark on this, the tough
call is not whether something some gross violation of
international law was done. The tough call is whether what we do
lobbying if you cruise missiles will do any good. And I'm
perfectly persuadable that a new good, no good and lead to harm.
That's not the right talking point. lobbied a few these are
pain point accuracy,
the idea that we should do nothing that has not been
international law has not been grossly violated. That's that,
to me is a debate that that's pretty clear. Oh,
man. I mean, I'd be throwing stuff at the TV at this point.
There's some there's a meta things that I'm seeing going on
here that I want to point out, John, and maybe that'll help us
hone in a little bit. And I think you and I are pretty much
in agreement. We know that this is, as the President misspoke at
the beginning of the week, this is really about the free flow of
energy in the region. Now we know that that's really what
it's about. We know that Israel has, you know, it's now become a
net positive supplier with the Leviathan field up through
Cyprus. And you know, it's competing with the Russians. We
know that our fracking is supposed to compete with the
with the Russians with the Russian gas. Of course, our
fracking isn't working out too. Well, you know, so there's all
kinds of it's a geopolitical struggle, which has nothing to
do with with so called gassing of a couple of kids. Here's some
meta information from the Federal Register, arms note arms
sale notification. And this is end of July. Dear Mr. Speaker,
pursuant to the reporting requirements, section 36 B, one
of the arms Export Control Act as amended. We are forwarding
here with transmittal number one 3.3 eighths concerning
Department of the Air Force has proposed letters of offer and
acceptance to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, for defense
articles and services estimated to cost $1.2 billion. So we had
a nice little sale. And this, of course, they always have to, you
know, write down the specifications, major defense
equipment, 0 billion other 1.2 billion total 1.2 billion, so we
sent some other over there. I loved I always love the other,
the other. Now the thing that is, oh, by the way, and this is
this also kind of happened while we weren't paying attention.
We're not doing buybacks, okay, once you buy our crap, you're
taking our crap. And this was slipped into a little ditty that
Joe Biden came out with were part of this executive action,
which is not an order. That's another interesting term, the
administration has come up with executive action, where you can
no longer register certain types of firearms to a corporation or
nonprofit, it has to be an individual who could be
background checked. But who gives a crap about that this is
what blew me away.
The second action we're taking is to prevent military grade
firearms from being re imported back in the United States.
Listen carefully, as all of you know, we sell military grade
firearms.
And by the way, we're quite proud of it. We're very happy to
sell crap to other people that kill people military firearms,
are our allies. That's right to kill our enemies to our
around the world. And those firearms are not able to be
imported back into United States without US government approval.
So we've basically we've said, What if all sales are final, you
can send them back?
No, I think there's actually I was I heard this and I was
thinking I always harkens back to my I had a clip about four
years ago, you'll remember it, where they Mexicans are
confiscating all the guns from these guys and then grinding
them up. And at the same time, and this is a point I've made a
couple of times on the show, they grind up all these weapons
that they confiscate these submachine guns and everything
else and then they bitch and moan that they don't have any
weapons to fight the cartels. Well, you just ground up a bunch
of weapons you could have used to fight the cartels but so I
always thought that was this is about one thing and one thing
only more sales, more sales especially domestically. You
don't want people you don't want it. This is what I think a lot
of this gun act besides trying to get Republican women to vote
Democrat more sales. You don't want you really they can't do it
yet, but they want to make it so it's illegal for me to sell you
my gun. Yeah, that means that you have to go buy another gun.
That's brand
new. Yes, this more sales.
I know sales is a scam. Yeah.
I love how Joe does it though he comes across so funny, Joe. Now
here is the thing regarding Syria that I found rather
interesting. This is reported in the Telegraph of the United
Kingdom's Gitmo nation east, that Prince Bhandar is now on
the scene. So Prince Bandar Bin Sultan, also known as Bhandar.
Bush in the annals of history. He was the Saudi Arabian
ambassador. And he essentially has been kind of the go to
messenger guy, whenever we were doing our nasty business in the
region. And he, you know, there was a rumor that he was dead. So
he kind of us made a resurgence. We haven't really heard from him
since 2008. All of a sudden, he's back. And the the message
in the press is that he offered a deal to Russia, that he said
to Putin, he said, Look, you know, if you if you'll just let
Saudi Arabia go. I mean, if you let Syria go, then you know,
we'll cut a deal with you and we'll work with you on your
global gas pricing. And you will give you whatever you want. And
I find this to be very interesting. I've not heard
anyone in the press here talk about this, that Bhandar is
back. Have you have you. What have you seen regarding this,
John?
Nothing, huh?
So here, I'll read
stunned, stunned I say that Mukhtar Mukhtar, there's no
sense.
So this is being reported in Middle Eastern press. So here's
the quote, let us examine how to put together a unified Russian
Saudi strategy on the subject of oil. The aim is to agree on the
price of oil and production quantities to keep the price
stable in global oil markets is what Prince Bhandar reportedly
said to Putin. Now it is important to Putin I think more
for gas than for oil, but to keep that price up there because
you know, Russia still needs a lot of money for the in the
process of they're in and they're rebooting essentially.
And, and looks like Putin turned it down like he turned down any
deal. And I have here some quotes from Putin, although it's
too bad that guy doesn't speak English. This, this is kind of a
downer because we always get the you know, like the translated
stuff,
right? I think Putin would be hilarious if he spoke English.
Yeah,
well, the translations are always all kind of good asleep.
I would like to address Obama as a Nobel Peace Prize Laureate.
Before using force in Syria, it would be good to think about
future casualties, Putin told Russian news agencies in
Vladivostok during a tour of his country's flood stricken Far
East, Russia is urging you to think twice before making a
decision on an operation in Syria. Let's see. What else did
you say here? He says the Obama administration claims that proof
exists, but it is classified and cannot be presented to anybody.
This is below criticism. This is plain disrespect for the
partners, Vladimir said. We know of course, that this is a a war
by proxy with Russia. And you know, if if I'm going to say I
have a feeling, John that the President is going to get his
permission from Congress I think it's going to happen
well, that would be a well as with guys like Peter King and
these other apologists.
Oh, no, it's not that it is the apathy the apathy of the
American people.
I don't know I don't think so. Oh, it's gonna be a tough No,
no,
no. Well,
I'll put myself down for now.
I'll tell you why I saw it at our dinner. Oh, here we go. We
now I want to preface by saying that the the friends we have
over dinner are our true friends. They know that I speak
about our dinners on the show. And they know that I categorize
them as Obama bots.
What Yeah, which we can actually short no Bots as
well, I had to do Oh, bots, because I was running out of
Twitter characters. So Oh, bots, you saw the tweet of the picture
of the table. Oh, Mickey did a great job.
Of go check that out. And yeah, so so we're gonna we're gonna go
into that before we go on any more serious stuff. We're going
to talk about
this. No, let's let's do you want to do it now? Just to break
it up a
bit? No, I think it's a good time to take a break and go into
the bots Oh bot
stuff. I bring up my notes. So first of all, I tried a couple
times during the course of the evening to spark up the Syrian
conversation could not do it John could not do it.
Why? Why would why? What's your theory on this? Well, this
is why I started as a complete apathy, tired of protesting did
my protesting when I was 20. I'm just repeating things I've
heard. And and like, oh, you know, like trying to distract
the conversation two things like, Hey, how about the
administration not going after Washington and Colorado for
weed? Hmm. I kid you not. I kid you not. Yeah, I could not get a
conversation about serious started called the 10th
Amendment with and I did bring that up. And
why is everybody so you I saw this happen on the west coasters
of Oh, that's great. It's great that they're not going to bust
the chops of Washington and Colorado or marijuana. They
don't have any right to
in the first place except the holder actually said quite the
opposite. Oh, yeah.
Well, of course, what do you think is
marked up the the statement from the Justice Department in the
shownotes you can take a look at it. But essentially it says this
memorandum is not intended to does not and may not be relied
upon to create any rights substantive or procedural
enforceable by law, yada, yada, yada, yada, yada. Essentially,
it says, ya know, if if you can't keep your people under
control, we're going to come in and bust some chops. That's
literally what this document says. Like, if you if you got
people selling to minors, when they come in, and we're gonna,
we're gonna
get across the border, you want to occupy your state, because
heaven forbid, we know that nobody in Oregon wants to get
any of that dope from those people in Washington. It's nuts,
especially around the Portland area.
So acts as the evening progressed. Oh, by the way, as a
quick aside, I did bring up with our, our friend, the brain
professor here at UT. You know, the thing we talked about on the
show with a stunning new revelation, where they were able
to control one guy's brain control this finger across the
internet, remember this? We talked about it on Thursday?
Yeah. Here's what the professor said. parlor trick. I love that.
Yeah. So I thought that was the magic. Imagine. Yeah, and yeah,
no. noises, parlor trick. Whatever it says parlor trick.
Big deal, same thing. So the feeling that I got is that the
robots are are drawing inward. And they are only going to be
concerned with themselves. They're locking out. It's kind
of like sticking your fingers in you're going on? And then that
how many know how many? That is? Witness the conversation? about
23 and me came up. Are you familiar with 23andme? Yeah,
everybody's a big fan of this.
Right. So now I know that, you know, our friends. I
found out that Mike, that my great uncles, uncles,
grandfathers father's father, it was a visit God, subject to
toenail fungus. Disease and Joe, I got to really be careful. I
don't get toenail fungus from by jeans, my jeans.
Okay, so this is almost almost exactly what was said. Except it
was, you know, I shared my DNA. This is this is the social
network. You see. I've shared my DNA, I found out I'm black. So
anyway, so this goes on for a while. And I'm like, okay, and
he was like, Well, if you find out that you had BRCA and we all
know that the Angelina Jolie breast cancer a gene patented,
you know, well, of course, I'd have a mastectomy. I'm like,
okay, you've got to stop now. You know, it's like, what I'm
missing from your social network. And you know, where,
where is the, you know, like, I'm gonna live a happy,
fulfilled life. And no, there's none of that. It's all exactly
what you said, don't get the toenail fungus. They don't eat
oysters. You know, I'm not kidding, John. Literally, I
know, it's horrible. It's like to make it worse than all the
personality disorders you could possibly have. This is going to
be way on anything you could naturally develop.
Alright, so I'm pushing against this, right? And Mickey is
pushing against it from her own, you know, Mickey as is much more
spiritually inclined than I am. And she believes in unicorns and
rainbows. And I put it in the Red Book, and I promise we'll
get it to her. However, at a certain point, it's like, you
know, you you're going to do, you're going to be doing this
you're going to have your DNA, Adam, right. And you're going to
do this, because medicine, it's going to be tailored for you it
they're going to make medication and it's going to so you know,
I'm like what, I'm gonna live forever. And then here's the
quote from the professor. It's just math. What Yeah. So
everything in the universe, every way you related everything
that you have everything You might have every way to fix you.
It's just math, right? And I'm like, Whoa, no. Show me the
calculation. No, no. We got into a heated argument. But no, it's
just math. We haven't been able to do the all the calculations
yet. But you will live forever. It's just math.
I don't know where this live forever thing has gotten so far.
There's a billboard off of Highway 80, going south through
Oakland, that says the first person to live to be 150 is
alive today, indicating somebody
is just not good. This is not this is not a good development.
And you ever seen a person who was 110? He's not you don't
want to talk him?
Up on his tongue.
It's the whole the dress. Anyway, so. So what I noticed is
that the this is kind of the direction that is headed. It's
the quantified self, the transhumanist agenda. But the
also sticking your fingers in here, like I look, I prod, I
protested against all this. I'm done. It's not my turn. I didn't
do it. And I'm, I'm going to check my DNA. And I by the way,
I got it's just math.org I had to get that one. I just like,
I'll, I'll find a reason for this website eventually. And I
think that this is this is the apathy. It's just, it's, it's so
it's,
it's there just math.org available. Yeah.
not.com but not available yet. Still. Yeah, it's pretty good.
Yeah, but that is the new thing. It's, we've had it science.
Well, we Okay, let's take a look at this objectively. First of
all, we have these robots who are out there by the droves, and
they all voted this guy in for all kinds of reasons. None of
them wishes were fulfilled just a lot of promises. And no,
apparently they're related. We're all African Americans now.
Yeah, well, that's a good thing. We actually, technically, I
think there's some truth to that. So whatever the case, it's
beside the point, they have given up literally given up
hope. Yeah. I mean, I can just see this is again, I think if we
were to book, the beast in the garden, about Nazi Germany, in
the garden of the beast, in the garden of the beasts,
don't eat your seed corn.
It's the that period where people were just like, putting
up with this encroachment, and then giving up these people just
gave up. That is what I saw. Yeah, they gave up they gave up
I've done. I've had it, and, and, you know, they want to live
there. What 150 But they just assumed, you know, die.
totalitarian system. I
don't know, the thing is, you know, where was so these are the
some of the same people who had all the fire for the, you know,
the Texas abortion clinic legislation, you know, the
abortion Lenise legislation, who were, you know, the all in and
jumping around. And, you know, but now when it comes to this, I
think is because they don't they, you know, they don't have
the information or it's too confusing, I think, you know,
because even if you say, oh, no, so do you understand, you got
the Sunnis, you got the shears that you got, you know, the
crazy philosophies who were thrown in by Saudi Arabia, this
goes back to the Ottoman Empire, you know, this is started in
700. And they don't it doesn't they can't process it for some
reason.
But it doesn't take much to process. Our arming ourselves to
the to the hilt and then waltzing over to the
Mediterranean and launching $1.4 million missiles by the dozens,
at some, essentially a country that can't defend itself to
punish them that that what, what kind of you need to know about
the Ottoman Empire to realize that this is insane.
So then I would say what is happening is that people of high
intellect can't live with their inner self revolting
against somebody at that party who you've mentioned this
before, who's once said, I would never have dinner with a
Republican.
That wasn't that one. That wasn't one of these people. But
yes, yes, that person was not here. And it was I could never
have dinner with a Republican
right and so if you have that sort of mentality now having to
deal with this Obama
and by the way, I believe they could short some out Yeah. I
still think our robot friends think we're secretly
Republicans, because they they can't even think can't even
parse that. Um, no, I'm agnostic to it. That I'm not joining any
club. With stickers.
These Republicans are worse
yet Uh, but you know what I'm saying? It's like, they can't
even think that I'm just a free thinking dude,
who by the way it'd be done you have to be part of a party.
And by the way, when Mickey does this, it's, it's sexy. Because,
you know, here's the six foot one Amazon on her, and she's got
her heels on, she's seven feet tall. And she's just like not
having any of it. And that is the worst because the
Republicans generally are ugly. It's like, they think we're
Republicans. They know we're not but then they see this and it's
a mind. It's, it messes with their brain. It really, really
does. And it almost I think, I think for the first time, it got
a little ugly.
Between you and the doctor. No, no, no,
no, just in general.
Because you think you Well, you shouldn't have even gone
anywhere. You should have just let them talk about their No,
no, but by the way, you know that 23andme Yeah, whatever.
It's called
that Sergey is ex wife. Yes, sir. Good. That's, that's her.
That's how the conversation started.
dumped her. Yeah, for some young bimbo.
Jaya, Hello. Have you seen her? Yeah, yeah. So anyway, so. So,
that is the that is what I have observed, I have observed that
the robots cannot handle the obvious atrocity will not rise
in opposition. Because the whatever social pressures they
feel, however, they identify very much with the technology of
the age and the science and the math, and we're all related.
We're all going to live forever. It's like magic. You know, it's
like alchemy. And that, and you know, and as long as I can have
some gadgets that I can wear that will beep and tell me I'm
doing okay. You know, it's it's, yeah, it's like, it's like, I'm
like, I'm like they're falling for illusions. Does that make
sense?
It's weird. How's the meal?
The meal was actually pretty good. So here's what we had. I
decided to something which is John scoffed that I made a
watermelon gazpacho. And John was like, Oh, God
wasn't What a douche bag thing. I thought it was just a glass of
watermelon juice the way you described. You know, it was
it was a despacho watermelon gazpacho, and I have to say, I
think I really nailed it. I had a chip
on your house specialties and now apparently, it's actually a
tomato based despacho that has chunks of Watermelon in it. Yes.
Sounds like it might be tasty.
So you have to get the mix just right. It's the chunk. Of course
you're gonna do some watermelon, get some chunks of Watermelon.
It's also the lime and the white balsamic vinegar that that's
that and salt. That's really the sea salt. That's the mix you got
to get right. You have to serve it with some you got to save
some watermelon for the chunks. And then here's what I did a
little cilantro on top when I served it and I put a swirl of
coconut milk and that was the head of the evening. Now you and
I had discussed you had made for me a menu I went against a Scots
he had a whole Moroccan thing with lamb shanks and from lamb
shanks you said why didn't just do lamb chops part to fuck it
up? Guess what? I almost did. Strangely enough how? I too. I
hadn't gone too long.
Oh yeah, no, yeah, you can overcook lamb too much
right so for about a marinated them and I got the fresh sticks
of thyme and rosemary. Which I mean the car still smells of it
just from bringing it back from the grocery store with you know,
so I put that in with oil and with with lots of garlic and I
made a sappy juice and I marinated them and I went back
late and it would have been perfect if for two things if I
hadn't let them cook so with our little overcooked I mean not
horrible but just a tad and after as everyone's leaving I
see sitting there the the frickin mango chutney. I never
served the mango the mango chutney with it. Oh, that would
have saved I'm an idiot that would that would have saved
everything and then we could have still had some left and I
had it last night we had it again and it was dynamite with a
mango Indian mango chutney I paid attention to what you told
me dynamite serve that with mashed potatoes and I have found
my mojo in the mashed potatoes. Oh good. Found my mojo. Lots of
butter and I but I also I threw in a coconut yogurt. Oh really?
Dynamite. You're one of those little
little plastic containers Yeah, so it
actually it has no yogurt in it. It's just like you know, it has
you know coconut whatever it's like non dairy something or
other. You know these not
so good.
Why No, it was not so good. Because you said throw in cream
and like came up with with coconut yogurt throughout in
little bit of fresh nutmeg, and actually called you John and
said, How do I go? How do I keep this going? How long will I need
to keep me to keep it fresh, whatever. And so I wound up
making it, put it in the oven for about an hour and a half
just on the warm and it was nice and warm. Dynamite dynamite
dynamite. Mickey made broccoli, which I'd steamed first, as you
told me didn't boil them steamed them and she mixed in. She does
like a walk thing with mushrooms and onions and whatever else and
so that was pretty good. But the lamb just a little bit a little
bit on the overcook side and I forgot the mango chutney.
Yeah, the mango chutney would have made a difference because
it's it adds some moisture to an overcooked product. Yeah.
And in fact, I will. Yeah. It was an overcooked product. There
you go. That's what I served them. But you know what, they
deserved it. After the apathy and the 23 and me I'm like,
pocket I'm burning your lamb. Dry that shit right out. Anyway,
sounds like a huge disappointment. I was expecting
it to be the high light of today's show.
I'm sorry. I wish I think the 23 of me is quite a highlight. But
I it's it's a sad, sad, sad highlight that I could not spark
them. John, I just could not spark them. And I really tried.
There's like and then Jen Yeah, one of the one of the girls,
which I protested in college. Now I will point out, I am
Mickey and I the only parents of the bunch. Okay, so the other
two couples have no kids. And I think I think there's something
to that. I have always thought that Yes. That you know, it's
like
there's a lot of people have the Yeah, you get it? Yeah. Ya know
what I'm saying? Yeah, no, I know. Totally. I think anyone
out there with kids and versus the. And of course, it's
insulting to the non child or the childless couples, right?
They irks them to know when that people say, Well, you're no
better than I am. Just because you raise that brass. intensity
that come back
until you've had a kid on a leash. You can't talk about that
kid. Our
kids on the show must donate to no agenda. Imagine all the
people who could do that. Oh, yeah, that'd be fun.
short segment today, so I might as well blast through it
thanking everybody who came in with some petunias to help us
out.

problem become a distraction of the week. Please use these funds
to fix your connection. Well, apparently is now convinced as.
Well, How coincidental. So what you're going to say is that the
a lot of people are convinced the problem is USB driver. Yeah.
Well, How coincidental is it? That we start the show with a
new fresh cable, which means it was unplugged, and we haven't
had a problem.
Yeah, because it may be it's not an hour, it's maybe an hour and
20 minutes. So we still have breaking up there and that just
unplug it and plug it back in. But
it could it could be days. I mean, it could be you have the
thing plugged into computers on for days. And then you know you
do the show and it could be all kinds of stuff.
I know that Yeah. Leo's pointed this out on the Twitch show.
He's commonly people come on and they their connection goes to
crap the plug and unplug and they're back and it's never made
any sense to me. Right. William Johnson in Smyrna, Georgia

repute. All of you now join the Knights and Dames at the no

pants and booze long and heavy metal guys and Scotch winches to
deal with but it was a guy some sock a buck and Billabong had
some bourbon sparkling cider and escorts and mutton and meat here
for you. And thank you again for supporting the program. Do
doodly I'm using mutt I'm sorry. I'm using mutt. Me mutt? Well,
ever since I set up my mail server again. You know now you
can do stuff much you don't know what the command line email
program but
no, I do not know much. I now as you mentioned, it rings a bell
mud is the bomb. The bomb? It really is because you can put it
in a terminal window and make the window big or small. And now
it's it's doing using IMAP. So it's not local. It's great. It's
just I got my colors and everything. But I think I'm
slowly the more I use, like, you know, gooeys and interfaces. I
mean,
when I was a kid, we used to have these gooeys.
The command line now it's kind of nice. It's really is it's
just to get things done so much faster. A
lot of these guys who are systems guys, and when the most
of the time is spent on the command line, because they can
do so much faster. Why so long command Yeah,
but pipe pipes and everything. There is a war on sis admins, by
the way. This is I'm seeing this happen. This is you know, this,
of course, goes to our snow job department. Where, you know, I
guess this is another maybe Glenn Greenwald. You know, of
course, we're not really hearing much about Snowden now that
we're, you know, attacking Syria. So to the backburner with
all this. But so here's the you know, the news is like,
headlines, Snowden impersonated NSA officials sources say, and
so what the what they're now trying to, to, to, I think move
into the lexicon into the into the into the conversation is sis
admins bad? Because you know, they have super user power. And
they can sudo anything, and they can look at anything. And I'm
not quite sure what they're going to do or because I find
sis admins to be the most trustworthy people in the
universe.
Yes. And you point out that they're the ones who look away.
When you type in your password is like of course, that's
because they have the password already.
You know what sis admins are too busy doing things to care about
your email and whatever. And of course, the SIS admins are in
the in the horrible position, where, you know, they're the
ones asked to do the dirty business. But I guess what they
are going to the idea here, I think is we need to fire all the
SIS admins who of course, are the only people that keep this
crap running. This is the big mistake that's being made. And I
know
it's a huge mistake. I like it because the pied piper story.
Oh, tell me that guy. The Pied Piper gets all these rats out of
town. Yeah. gets rid of the guy. And next thing you know, the
rats come back. Oh,
right. Well, it's not quite the bugs, we'll call them bugs. And
in this case, not rats. But it's a huge mistake, because I think
what they're going to try to do is either have, you know, it's
going to be like you have to have two sysadmins and I both
have to turn the key like nuclear codes or something.
She's
never gonna work as that there's no two sis admins in the world
that think alike. Right. It'd be like, Well, I think I should
turn to the right is that If
I have a command line for my key, I don't know, like, I want
to use the 128 bit encrypted key. Now, so of course, that
won't work but also, you know, that means you can have to find
two guys at the same time and when you need something done,
you just want it done. This is a huge mistake and they're
probably going to try and automate a lot of this stuff.
Well, you know, there's the women who are really close to
these sis ops or sis admins and all the rest of them they are
easily sold and I think a lot of CEOs are sold by skipping on the
idea that you don't know these guys use a new automated system
will take care of this just just audit this so new software will
take care of you won't need a sysadmin you use this software
anyone can use it you know kind of thing Yeah. Guys to think
that computers are appliances.
Oh yeah. And of course the what they'll want is the one to have
like the CEO or the general or the Kaiser or whatever will have
the keys you know, and he's gonna give him the pager you
know in the middle of the night when the when something goes
down. And then he's gonna have to, you know, authenticate it's
gonna it's a nightmare but there is an actual war on sis admins I
kid you not it is taking place and it's a huge, huge mistake.
Huge mistake.
Yeah, just based on the one Snowden guy because of one guy
who just you know, yeah, but what was the guy one guy with a
conscience or maybe still may be a plant from the CIA into the
NSA? I mean, you don't know any of
this you know, but what you what you and I know is that there's
so much money to be made and all the contractors they're looking
for anything to make money, cyber war, okay, we're gonna
have cyber shields and have cyber no fortifications whatever
word we can think up and we can sell to the government we're
gonna get it what is Kaiser Alexander's budget $18 billion
yet he wants his little wants to create a cyber army. You have
the then of course, they got the note came out. Apparently, we've
been attacking. We've been committing acts of war against
numerous countries, commonly through our computer systems.
Yeah, I I'm surprised that we that nobody calls us out on it,
but but they don't. So here's I got a god clip. To the serious.
You know what? It's time to test. It's time to test you are
now cutting out. Oh, okay. So unplug your unplug your
MyCareer.
Dummy, when you can tell when I
I don't know if that was intentional or not. But we did
lose in. And let's see if he can reconnect. So the Skype
connection remains in place, and I heard the click. You heard a
clip. I need your back. And I'm back. Let's see what happens.
All right. So this was about two hours. Do you of course, you had
to reboot because something was wrong with your mouse before the
show? Yeah. Okay. So that was it's about two hours dead
battery. Oh, really? Yeah. hate it when that happens.
Well, it's rare. I mean, it's the first time I've ever changed
the battery on the mouse. Okay, so we have I found this to be
peculiar. Now. If we're going to attack Syria, what? Let's just
say we were all in and we're just going for who side would we
be on?
We would be on the side of the Saudi Arabians. And on the side
of crazy enough, Israel.
Well, don't you? Well, that's it. Okay. Back up. You got two
sides the way I see you got the you got the Assad side. And you
got the rebels.
Oh, you're just talking about Syria itself? Yes. Yeah, that's
correct. Assad and the rebels.
Right. Whose side would we be on if we were Obama side of the
rebels? Oh, interesting. Then how do you make sense from this
odd comment from the Iranian, one of the Iranian spokes holes?
Let me Oh, is this the woman spokes home? No, this is a man's
boats, boats. And they don't let the women's yes, no, they just
let the woman speak more later.
Meanwhile, in Iran, a senior cleric said any military action
by the US is doomed to fail. The Americans commit such
a mistake of attacking Syria, they definitely won't achieve
victory and victory will belong to the resistance and the proud
nation of Syria.
Okay. So what Who Are we attacking? So
that's when I heard this. I went. This doesn't make any
sense. Yeah. What's the deal? So something's okay.
You as a Middle Eastern expert. I know that you spend many years
the Brookings Institute and you of course your seat in the
Council on Foreign Relations. How? I mean, are we not just
doing Israel's bidding for them? Is that not what is happening
here? Is that is that not just obvious? And I
remember when this thing first, the first, I guess was In the
first month of the of the conflict conflagration which
began a couple of years ago, I looked at those pictures of some
towns it looked like Lebanon which was really created was
messed up by the Syrians. I think I still think that this is
a make good in the Middle Easterners thinking long term a
make good for for ruining Lebanon for all time it looks
like and now their country's gonna look the same person
that's all there is to it. That's my opinion
but it's just it's just to make to make the landscape look the
same. Is that
just a rag? It's a mess. Hey, the holes ever.
It's like, there's like Detroit looks like crap. So we've we've
got to make Kalamazoo look crappy too, and just pull the
plug on it. Yeah, that sort of thing. That makes no sense. How
come you can't just answer my question.
I couldn't I just did. You think it's
only because Lebanon is in shambles? And Beirut looks like
this is my odd ball thesis. I know nobody. I'm just telling
you what I think well, okay,
fine. All right. Fine. Look all I know, I think I think it is
retaliation. But I think it's a different kind of retaliation.
You can't remove the you can't remove Saudi Arabia from from
this equation. You can't remove Israel from it. You can't remove
the Palestine. conversation. I don't know what to call that
anymore. I mean, you can't remove any of that. I think
ultimately, if we follow your logic, then the end goal is to
just have everything be Rubble. Rubble, Rubble everywhere. All
right, well, good, then I have nothing else to say. That's
great. I do have a great to great new initiative, a
commercial. And I would like to say right now, I would
appreciate it. And you may join me in this, John. I would like
everybody who listens who can hear the sound of my voice to
put my name up for nomination. For this for this new campaign.
I submit my name gladly. And I hope everyone will submit my
name on my behalf.
Andrew, Sandy, Ivan. Katrina. Since 1954, the World
Meteorological Organization has been naming hurricanes and
tropical storms. But what did these people do to deserve
having their names attached to this? As climate change
continues to create more frequent and devastating storms,
we propose a new naming system, one that names extreme storms
after policymakers who deny climate change. We propose
something like this.
Senator Marco Rubio is expected to pound the eastern seaboard
sometime early tonight. Windows are being boarded up and grocery
stores are virtually empty as Marco Rubio threatens everything
in his path. Michelle Bachman is on the way, folks, and
specifically the eye of Michelle Bachman will be hitting Florida
in a few hours. Congresswoman Michele Bachmann is incredibly
dangerous if you value your life. Please seek shelter from
the shell. Senator David Vitter is turning out to be one of the
hugest and costliest disasters in American history. David
Vitter and literally lifting boats out of the water, I talk
to them onto the land in New Orleans. The levees that were
built to stop hurricane Colin Peterson have been obliterated.
I'm here in the North here with Speaker John Boehner is really
doing a number on this coastline. John Boehner is just
destroying this town. Local animal shelters are under
pressure as 1000s of animals have been displaced or killed by
Governor Rick Perry.
He can't even take care of me. This is the best commercial I
have seen in a long time, John, it's great and it just goes on.
I mean, it's better when you see the videos because they really
did the whole like the whole newscaster thing right the whole
I would love to have a hurricane named after me. That'd be great.
Yeah, it would be but that clip of the week by the way he
accepted the day hit anybody really? I never seen this as
it's hilarious. Oh, well
that's very kind of you. I don't know if I deserve it. But I'll
take it of course
Adam Curry's I know it's genius. By take room by removing the
entire conversation from weather is not climate, which is not by
the way Where's all the horrible you know, the the this is
supposed to be the worst season ever. I'll admit Katrina Oh,
Katrina, Sandy, which was not a hurricane was not fun. But what
else have we had since then is isn't the season almost over
now?
It's been pretty mild. Whatever's going. Yeah.
But they've removed the conversation from
now you can't keep the conversation consistent.
It was funny. I forgot during the dinner, because all of a
sudden, it spiked back up. It's like 105 here in Austin, and was
really nice. We were down in the 80s. We were like, oh my god,
this is great. I'm running around town and my dress going
like, hey, let's do global cooling. I told you. And in our
guests come over and they look at me like, oh, I told you it's
global warming.
Yeah, because it's never been in Austin. The entire history of
mankind. No one's ever heard of hot temperatures in Texas. Oh,
man,
I do love them. I really I love my friends. I and I know they
love us too. I have to say that because otherwise, you know,
they'll know you're done.
Those are good. Yeah, good percentage of the show.
They don't donate to the show.
Well, they're not donating any information. That's for sure. I
cut it down. They move it up. They gotta step up their game.
Step it up, though. No
more free food for you. This is the next one is at the
professor's house in November. It's gonna be two months. Yeah,
I've been there. It's very nice. Very nice house. Yeah, it's it's
modest. Modest.
I got a clip and shipping spot that there's a little a kind of
an interesting, you know, we our thesis on the show is that
people always tell the truth. You just have to listen. You
just got to keep your ears open. And you'll hear it. It's always
in there. There's a truth message in here. There's a
Democratic Congressman who's all in on, on punishing the Syrians.
Yes. And he kind of phrases things in a funny way. I'm sure
that somebody has, you know what he meant? I know what he meant.
Kind of like, kind of like McCain's facade.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, he meant one thing. But he said something
else, that you see if you can spot it? Well, I
don't disagree with Mac, I think the President has to come before
the American people. I think what we saw Secretary Kerry do
today was the start of that. I think the President if he acts,
and I believe he will, will explain what he's doing to the
American people, I think this will be limited in scope. And
it'll be done to to show Assad, that the gassing of his own
people is not acceptable. This is a war crime, those pictures
of those children foaming at the mouth and dying, something that
will live with in my mind for the rest of my life. I just
think there were certain things.
Don't say anything. Please don't say a single thing. I need to
listen to it again, because I didn't hear it. So this is what
happens. This is this is why you know why we have four sets of
two sets of ears for years on the show? Well, I don't disagree
with Mac, I think the President has to come before the American
people. I think what we saw Secretary Kerry do today was the
start of that I think the President if he acts, and I
believe he will, will explain what he's doing to the American
people, I
think this will be limited in scope. And it'll be done to show
Assad that the gassing of his own people is not acceptable.
This is a war crime, those pictures of those children
foaming at the mouth and dying, something that will live with my
mind for the rest of my life. I just think there were certain
things.
It feels real subtle. But did he say that the President Obama is
doing this to the American people?
Yeah. I says he's going to explain what he's doing to the
American people.
Yeah, that's what I heard to the proper
phrasing is he's going to explain to the American people
what he's doing about something else. When he said he's going to
explain what he's doing to the American people. Yeah, yeah.
It's a little
bit now I was there. I didn't hear it the first time. But I
the second time, like, okay, I get it. Yeah. Well, this is this
is the other guy. There's, I mean, you you can tell the
difference. Right. You're seeing it?
Yeah, I'm looking at some of the some of the aspects of the IR.
Tom, so I'm just looking at the attitude. That's all that's all
I just say, Oh, my God, the attitude is just crazy.
But it could be that could be a because of drugs, Mickey. Well,
Mickey could be. I mean, these presidents that we've had,
that's why they're either dropped dead or they turn gray.
All the drugs. Yeah, the drug that they don't get any sleep.
Well, there's
so we know. Well, we know that the President had you know, has
like this chanting mantra crap that goes on and the changes and
we've discussed this, in fact, the Democrat financier of the of
the Democratic Convention was murdered, because he saw this
and told people about it. Remember this? Yeah, yeah. Yeah,
Mickey had an interesting theory. You know, she studied
for more than 10 years, a method acting and she studied with one
of the masters you know, not Strausberg he's dead I think.
But you know of this school so it's young and it's Who's the
other douche with the the young and come on the second you're
talking to sex guy, the sex doctor.
Sick Masters and Johnson.
Oh, yeah, Freud, that guy. The second guy says he's the sex guy
he occupied. So Freud yo Rhydian. Yeah. But then so she,
she studied for years, all these sub personalities. And this is
what this is her theory. And I like I like your theory much
better that this twins. And that's why the whole birth
certificate is a problem. And one of these guys is on ice down
there in the fridge at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. And this is
this is the war guy. But she says you can have these, it's
you know, this is how schizophrenia comes about
etcetera. But everybody has a sub personality and you can get
stuck in these and actors are trained to bring them out. This
is why great actors, you know, they're so believable. And if
you
didn't some of them to follow up on that some of them actually
stay in character during the entire movie is Oh, and
don't when they go home. Yeah, that's right. Like Dustin
Hoffman is famous for this famous because he would remember
when he used to win awards. For you know, when he did rain, man,
he was still Rain Man. He never got out of the roll. When he
accepted the Academy Award. He was like, that's a long time.
Stop, man. Chill out. Yeah. He couldn't get out of it. And so
but you can trigger these things, through hypnosis through
drugs. But yeah, so they're, and everyone has them. Everyone has
the seven year old kid, everyone has the warmonger. Everybody has
the Hope and Change guy. And she says this is just the same guy
with a different sub personality that is being massaged and
trained by professionals. I'm like, Okay, that's a reasonable
theory. And I look at the guy I'm like, Oh my God, this, this
isn't just go back and look at something from 2007 or 2008. You
know, yeah, it looks the same. But this is like the video the
guy is gonna go kill people. And he thinks he's cool. Two things.
Okay. I'm in my rights. The weird part. The constitutional
law. Yeah. This is okay.
All right. It's kill list that he's supposed to get a kick out
of when he apparently watches a lot of these drone strikes. And
he just
giggles but you know what I'm missing? This is what I don't
understand. You get some need? Distraction? Where is where is
Clooney? They need to bring some celebrate ease into this pretty
soon. They need to bring it here. This is the BBC report,
which I found hilarious.
George Clooney is a spy. That's how it started. There's a
sentence that needs a bit of qualification. lippies for a
satellite that spies on Sudan.
I think he's just by just keeping them for that, I guess
for Sudan when we're ready for that. I guess
he's a Sudan guy. And I think that I think that the way that
was that news report was presented was to make clear to
smart money that he is a spy. George Clooney is a spy. at
Evergreen, you gotta cut clip.
That's good, isn't it? We should combine it somehow. Let me see
if I can combine it.
Did George Clooney steam and then hit that? Yeah,
but I think there's something else do I have another? What is
this? This is also Clooney call me sir. God damn it. No, that's
not Clooney. Okay, so then we do like George Clooney is a spy. I
got to work on it. I'll work on it. Some more maybe. Oh, yeah,
that's what he needs. Laughter maybe I do it in the outro maybe
that'll work. You get some? Man you need distraction. George
Clooney is a spy. That's better. Yeah, I
like it. And stepping on the on the HR is perfect. No, it should
be right on top of it.
And that's how we produce the best podcasts and this works.
This is how we do it. Ladies and gentlemen. revenge porn as we
wrap up our series show revenge porn. This is this is this isn't
happening in your neck of the woods. Actually, I had it in the
show notes on Thursday. They are now there's legislation had that
has been introduced in California a that will make it
illegal for you to post naked photographic or video graphic
material of someone else. without their permission, oh,
even not be great, even if you took it with their permission.
So the idea is, and this is rather interesting that this
conveniently happened to be a topic on newsroom two weeks ago
or whatever, three weeks ago. So if so, and I've taken pictures
like this, you know, so you you're hanging out, you know,
you have like you hook up your, your girlfriend, your boyfriend,
your wife, your husband, whatever, it takes some crazy
ass shots, but then you break up, or you get a divorce. And
then you're so angry, like, look, it is biatch. And then you
post the naked pictures on the internet, that will become an
offense. And I'm not so sure at this, I find this. I think it
probably has more to do with media somehow or something with
politics, and it's going to be misused for something. But this
there's this woman, Holly, Jacob, and she has been these
she's the spokes hole for the movement. revenge porn. In fact,
she has. Missy if I can find what was the name of she? Well,
she did miss you mentioned in this report, she has a website
and everything she goal was this,
just look at the logistics of this. So I got some, some
revenge porn. And I've decided I want to blow it out and point
the finger at somebody for being a douchebag. And so I go set up
one of these free websites that's out of the Ukraine. Yeah.
Which apparently when anything happens out of the Ukraine, the
law enforcement authorities just throw their arms up in the air
and they say we can't do anything. Why I just posted
there, what are they going to do about it? I'm not gonna attach
my name to it.
Well, well, thank you. Thank you. And so there's something
else going on with this. Now the funny thing is, so
too, it sounds like somebody's got some, you know, remember
that time that they had those pictures from Abu Grob. And then
wow, John, I think you fucking nailed it. You're too. There's
something floating out there. That has to be stopped before it
happens. Yeah, this makes nothing but since. Wow, okay.
Well,
let's see. You can go uh, yeah, you okay, but okay, pal, you can
release that if you want to, oh, look at this law we just passed,
you're gonna go to town for doing this.
So Holly, Jacob, I'm gonna play this report. Of course, you see,
she's sitting there with her lawyer. The first thing I did
while watching her was Google her picture. Which is a pretty
hot actually.
I mean, they need to know that this is going on, they need to
be aware that this is happening.
Let's listen to this report. The way you just this is brilliant.
John, thank you. This is why we're the best podcast in the
universe. Listen to this report, as if she is letting someone
know that they better not be posting whatever they've got
because of this law that's now coming onto the books. It all
admit it fits right in no. They need to,
they need to know that this is going on. They need to be aware
that this is happening and that you can't trust anyone with this
kind of material. Until Until there are laws that are put in
place to, you know, to because of what because Holly of what
happened to you tell our viewers what happened to Yeah, I was
dating somebody for three years, we were in a long distance
relationship,
meaning we were sexting each other
we shared intimate photos back and forth.
Meaning she's got some. And
right when we broke up, he changed my Facebook profile to a
nude photo of me. Six months later, he posted several of
those photos up on a website. Am I hot or not? new.com? And then,
right.
Am I hot or not? new.com John, that's
later promotion made my material go viral. When he found out that
I was dating somebody new,
he made it go viral. This guy is a genius. We need to hire him.
And he posted this, these pictures along with my full
name, my email address, the school that I attended my place
of work. And it was just terrible and devastating. So I
imagine I mean, when this happens, and you see first of
all, it's it's terrible in terms of the impact it has on you. But
he's encouraging people to harass you, right? I mean,
that's what you say he was doing? Absolutely. I was
receiving all kinds of emails from people that were viewing
this material. Yeah, all kinds of Facebook messages. I mean, I
had to change my email address a time so stop these harassing
emails from coming in. I had to just completely disconnect and
take my Facebook profile down my Twitter profile down. Oh,
because I Oh,
I had to take my Twitter profile. I was getting
harassed and reference to this, this material. Now you the ex
boyfriend here is denying these charges. Is that correct? Right.
Correct. What about you? You you are taking legal action. Yes,
I'm taking legal action with a civil suit against him. I'm also
I had a criminal case picked up where he's being cyber stalking
charges are being pursued against him. And I also created
a website where I'm collecting signatures to petition to change
laws. And that's what you saw before where you had up before,
and revenge porn.com. So I really urge people to visit that
and sign my petition, because what's happening is not right.
It's this is a form of domestic violence. It needs to be
stopped. It's not okay.
It's domestic violence. That's one hot girls, baby.
Well, you know, first of all, it's not that hard to find her
pictures,
the great the great pictures that she has nothing to do.
There's nothing. No, she has nothing to be embarrassed about.
And she's not doing anything to herself this porn dish? No. And
here's what this is another one of these, this this theme that
we've spotted years ago, and I will bring it up again, which is
that nudity is not pornography. Exactly.
Thank you. That's the only way way I was going to take it. But
you brought in the whole someone's got something?
Well, I think there's something else that is because generally
speaking people don't go this far. Unless there's somebody
back then for some other reason, right? She's a frontman for
whatever is going on that we have to be looking for. And
she's got a lawyer there and everything. Yeah, no, there's
definitely something going on. But for her to call it. What is
the spousal abuse? Is that what she said? Domestic. Domestic
violence even worse? Yeah. And she's in she should be proud to
hot. Nothing wrong with that.
Yeah, but I think you want to be hot on your own terms. Oh, okay.
I'm just saying, just saying,
yeah. You better if you have,
I have a clip that we don't have to play, because it might
actually let's play this clip. I have the dingbat.
This will be our blonding bat from the department's of state.
Yeah. And
she's received stumbles around here. And she did this is a clip
called Words do not matter. And she see it, she's either using
the wrong she's sentence structures falling up. Or
there's something she says in here that this is a clip that,
well, I'll just play it, we'll see what we can figure out what
it is. It's
interesting fact that today, a week after this attack, he says
they should be allowed in when every single step of the Syrian
regime has taken up until this point has been to actually stall
and stymie this investigation. So the words speak, speak much
quieter than actions, actions here, what matters.
Hold on a second, I need some revenge porn from her the fleas.
And every action from the Syrian regime has been that they will
not cooperate with you in investing. They're
trying to stall a response to what you describe as the massive
use of chemical weapons.
I don't want to venture to guess why they're doing what they're
doing. But I think it's clear that we will not allow them to
hide behind a UN investigation into the use of chemical weapons
to prevent any response from the United States.
You had a Have you had have you received from the UN? Its
assessment?
I don't know the answer to that. I can look into it.
Because if you haven't, why would you argue that they are
hiding behind that? I mean, you yourself repeatedly called for
the UN investigation,
because the Syrian regime is trying to hide behind it because
she's no match. She's no match. You shouldn't. By the way, in
our indoor show clip, which producer drew put together,
there's a lot of her in this. So much so in fact that I didn't
even pull clips from from her some of her crazy ass press
conferences.
It probably was. She thinks she can handle it. She was like the
spokes hole for the CIA. That, here's the question. I'll be the
spokes hole for the CIA asked me something.
So do you think that Assad has actually gassed his own people?
We have no comment on that. Now,
you got to kind of do it a little differently. She does
more like I am not going to.
Oh, I can see the comment about that. Yeah, it's classified.
I'm not going to comment on that from the podium. They're always
talking about the podium. Yeah. But
she, I think she's actually I think this is the first time
she's actually talked. I would like to see her as the spokesman
for the CIA and see if she ever said anything. Well, maybe she
just wrote press releases. I've never seen it seen as CIA press
conference, where somebody's up there answering questions of
you.
Well, let's hold on What's her name again? Her name is Harf he
farts What's your name? I don't know. Come on. We need her name.
I can't like spokes person. Just go to video.state.gov which is
my browser, believe me knows that website. it auto fills
everything Marie Harf I think it is, isn't it? Yeah. Something
like, here briefing August 29. Marie Harf. Yeah. Okay, Marie
Harf. Now, here's what we do. Here's how you do it. You go to
c dash span video.org. And you type in Murray hearth into the
search, which will, the results always suck, but then you got to
hit people. And then there's Marie Harf bio page, and there's
her appearances and we can go to oldest and no, oldest on C span
is July 20. She came from nowhere. July 25 is the oldest
on record. So yeah, that's the first time we've ever seen her I
guess. Yeah, interesting. Marie. Let's try Marie Harf CIA video
I'm just trying this quick little Google's I know. That she
now knows. No, I think you're right. I don't think she's ever
ever been in the public eye.
Yeah, no, she's dead. She thinks she's a hotshot because you can
tell that she's she doesn't realize she's being made a fool
of by a couple of these guys by
the best podcast in the universe. And us.
Of course, I'm talking about the guys in that room. Right are
literally ridiculing her. And she doesn't have this the
nastiness of that other woman. She seems to like you know, she
just thinks she's smart. And she's
shocked Jen. Well, where is Jen is Jen. I mean, why? It feels to
me like both Jen Psaki and cook are what's his name? Carney that
they're hiding. They're like Oh, I don't want to be I don't want
to do it today. You go
sock he's probably working at a corner because she likes to
disassemble corpses collected five feet today
because she has no soul. Is that why? Me? All right. Okay, so as
we wrap it up for today, John? Yes. Do you have one more one
more thing about Bobby are we going?
I think I'm good. I got a whole lot to clip which is just like,
man, you don't need that. We got an answering your own people are
going to the clubhouse. But I still have this one clip. I'm
not we're not going to play on the show. But I kept it in
abeyance which is the scam of the 1990s A woman who I
went to the h&k I want you to hold on to that for Thursday
show Can you do that?
Yeah, I'm behind I have I just like there's even more
information about this. It's even more discussed in the clip
itself. Alright, so
looking at Thursday show Thursday will be the fifth of
September. Am I correct? Yeah. The fifth of September. Have
have we sent Raytheon to steal towards Syria? Yay or Nay?
I'm saying Nay Nay. Have
we had a vote by then? Yay or Nay?
Nay Nay. Okay.
September 11. would be that would be some nice symbolic day
to do it.
Yeah. And a lot of people pointed that out to September 11
is coming up. This is a good time to bomb somebody.
It will be a good time for someone to do something so we
then could bomb.
Right? So and we are coming up on the 11th which is the day of
the six week cycle. Oh, all kinds of action. Yes.
Coincidentally, it's a six week cycle coming up. Don't forget,
stuffs gonna be a poppin All right.
Well, we will be here please support us. We're going to
divorce.org/na you can't get this kind of analysis anywhere
else. And hopefully we made you chuckle at least once or twice.
If you've got any revenge porn. Send it to me, Adam mccurry.com.
And we will be back on Thursday. Coming to you here from the
Travis heights hideouts in the morning. I'm Adam curry
and from Northern Silicon Valley. On John C. Dvorak
final clip don't buy producer DREW Thank him so much. And we
will talk to you again on Thursday right here on no
agenda.
As a father, I can't get the image out of my head of a man
who held up his dead child. Wailing Wall chaos swirled
around the images of entire families dead in their beds
without a drop of blood, or even a visible wound body contouring
and spasms human suffering that we could never ignore. Or forget
CIA's drone
campaign in Pakistan has killed dozens of civilians who've gone
to rescue victims or attending funerals.
Anybody
claim that an attack of this staggering scale could be
contrived fabric how need to contract their conscience and
their own moral compass between
282 and 535 civilians have been reported as killed including
more than 60 children.
Everything these women judges are already screaming. This is
real. And with our own eyes, we have all of us become witnesses.
We have additional information about this attack. And we will
provide that information. In the days ahead.
The world doesn't need a classified US intelligence
assessment to see the photos and the videos, our sense
of basic humanity is offended. Not only by this cowardly crime,
at least 50 civilians were killed and follow up strikes
when they don't help victims more than 20 civilians have also
been attacked and deliberate strikes on funerals and mourners
that also by the cynical attempt to cover it up,
I want to make sure that people understand actually drones have
not caused a huge number of civilian casualties.
At every turn, the Syrian regime has failed to cooperate with the
UN investigation, using it only to stall and stymie efforts to
bring to light what happened in Damascus in the dead of night.
Meanwhile, the American Civil Liberties Union filed a case
last week to force the Obama administration to release legal
and intelligence records related to the targeted killing of US
citizens and drone attacks in Yemen. Last year, the lawsuit
charged the justice and Defense Departments and CIA was
illegally failing to respond to requests made in October into
the Freedom of Information Act, their response
needed to be unrestricted, and immediate access. Failure to
permit that I told him, would tell its own story. And make no
mistake. President Obama believes there must be
accountability for those who would use the world's most
heinous weapons against the world's most vulnerable people
based on the fact that they use chemical weapons in an
indiscriminate manner with respect to civilians, which is
in general, love more, that countries have agreed to and it
is a clear violation of international law Curia, to the
best of your knowledge ever agreed to them. I believe that
it is a general law of war that governs all conflicts, and so
therefore, they're in violation of it.
Again, it's, it's a gross violation of international law,
I'm not going to do more legal analysis. Specifically, I'm not
going to detail the legal analysis.
Nobody's asking you for more details. I think you just need
for detailed legal analysis. This is a very, no, no, let me
finish is a very simple and undetailed question. What piece
of paper are you talking about? Are we talking about that piece
of
international law? Well, there is a general set of rules that
govern conflicts, do you believe that he wouldn't this attack? I
don't I don't know the answer to that. And again, I just actually
don't know the facts here. But what do you mean by somebody
that does not matter whether President Assad himself gave an
order to use chemicals? He's responsible for their use? He's
responsible either way. Yes. So some rogue officer, did this
extort? That's what a yes. But that's also a wildly conjectures
question. And I think in no way there's evidence that supporting
right now
stick with a was the US use of nuclear weapons, resulting in
the mass indiscriminate killing of civilians in both Hiroshima
and Nagasaki a violation of the same international law that
you're referring to?
I'm not even going to entertain that question. I try chef's
slave. If you wake up with the blues. Jennifer, your gangers
news. There's one thing you must remember no agenda and moaning
for a healthy balanced news diet. Try no agenda. show.com
