You know, there has to be a couple of porn stars around here
that would stand around naked for 300 bucks for five or six
hours. Adam curry, John C. Dvorak.
It's Thursday, August 20 2009. Time for your gizmo nation audio
publication episode 123. This is no agenda coming to you from the
bamboo strutted house tripod command centre from a deserted
island in Gitmo nation, South East this time, I'm in Spain.
I'm Adam curry,
and I'm in what's formerly known as California may be still
referred to as the bankrupt state. I'm John C. Dvorak.
Raglan buzzkill it's funny you mentioned that like Ron was
telling me that that he got his tax return from California and
it was an IOU
Yeah, you mentioned this two or three shows I did mention that
but now all these played a horn Hong Kong Kong that's what you
would do a fight Yeah,
I repeated myself Well, the thing I I don't think I've
repeated is that there are these you know, the sales tax small
businesses have to pay their sales tax. And so they've
they're taking the taking their IOUs the state isn't exactly the
state isn't accepting their IOUs Oh, really?
They can dish it out but they can't take it.
Exactly. How lame Oh, is that?
That is ridiculous. If they are giving you an IOU you should be
able to give it back.
Yeah, no, you can't apparently. is beautiful here, John.
I'll bet it is.
out there and smokey kept swinging.
But you just didn't miss it. You're really going to Ibiza?
No, it's a party in the phone.
Don't do that. We're not in a BS. We're south of Ibiza.
Ibiza. No, we're
not an Ibiza. I
say that I'm just telling you I know you're in Ibiza. That's
where you that's why would you go to any place that close to
Ibiza if you weren't going to Ibiza, which by the way, it's
just an out and out drug induced party. Town. Nothing but
nightclubs. You don't do anything else that I know of.
But just party. That's why I'm
not going there. That's why I'm not there. Right now. We are in
the Bill Ayers, the Belair islands. And we're south of its
Ibiza as the as the Brits called Ibiza. We're going to Ibiza. So
we're not an Ibiza. It's for monterra Look it up on Google
Formentera former hippie Island. Let's call on the to the stars.
Yeah, great. So let's get in when you come back. It's going
to be you're going to be annoying. So let's
only when I come back not before
I ever had such a nice day. I you know, it's so relaxing. And
I feel like a new man
because it will put seniors in a position of being put to death
by their government.
Well, if you're gonna go into that direction, let's start off
the show by bringing up some Sebelius quotes that came from
last Sunday morning friend Sebelius
I have not seen anything being a south of Ibiza.
She it she is creepy. Let's play. I didn't want to play the
whole thing. But she spent she's obviously one of the people in
the notes would go into a talk show and to just repeat herself
and like so do you think it's going to be hard on old people?
Well, I think it could be hard on old people it's going to be
hard on a lot of people because it's just a difficult situation
because it's going to be so difficult and hard on especially
old people and people that aren't that old but people are
really old and maybe some people you know that kind of thing. yak
yak.
Yeah. Sebelius, of course, is the director of Health and Human
Services services.
Okay. She reminds me to an annoying degree of of Carly
Fiorina. Same patronising style of talking down to you.
Isn't she from California? Isn't she from the west? Sebelius? No,
no, he had to look it up. Okay. Okay. So this is
not going to play the whole thing. But I just want to play a
couple of things. I want you to play play Sebelius open to five.
Secretary Sebelius. Thanks for joining us. Good morning, Jake.
A critics say they're uneasy about end of life care measures
being discussed within the context of cost cutting. Can you
understand that discomfort?
Well, I think end of life discussions are very, very
personal and very difficult, very difficult for family
members very difficult often, for people to confront and my
own mother's fan.
Right there. She goes off the deep end. She spends five or six
minutes on, it's you know, it's very difficult for young people.
It's very difficult for old people is very difficult for
families. It's very difficult for her.
She doesn't answer the question,
though. She never answers the question. But, but it's actually
worse with some of these other ones but here's one. This kind
of caught my attention because this was With a call, I think
it's the, I think it's payment or payment. Now it will be for
me, I set this up, there's a clip called payment. And I,
there's a bunch of people talking about the health care
stuff. And how Obama actually paved the way to push health
care by doing deals. First, they analyse what happened with
Hillary and the people that push back, the AMA, they help the
insurance companies, the doctors themselves, everybody, all these
people that wouldn't allow that thing happen. So they fought
against it. So the idea was that Obama was going to pave the way.
In other words, you know, set the stage do the due diligence
to get these guys on board before he presented anything.
And apparently, now, you know, the the health care, insurance
companies, the doctors, the everybody's on board, except the
public, which is kind of the missing link here. Now, I'm sure
what I'm looking for now, and I advise anybody else to look for
is what was the quid pro quo, because obviously, these people
aren't going to just yeah, whatever. We didn't like it
before. But since you're gonna do it, we're gonna just be on
board with you.
What do you mean, we didn't like it before? We didn't like what
Well,
seeing during the Hillary thing, all these people were against
the essentially the same health care programme that she tried to
enter wasn't
exactly the same idea. Radically. Okay. Yeah, the point
is,
is that they did some deal with all these people. And I've been
trying to figure out what some of these deals were and she
gives it away in this long winded I believe me, you don't
want to play that show would be over? As she answered that
question. That was the opening question. But she slips it in
what it was, and I think this was the quid pro quo for doctors
and play payment, and then I'll explain it. Okay. So
let me just understand what we're talking about. So how do
we get everyone to be on board? Not the public, but all the
doctors the everyone who was going to be a part of this
companies. Everyone, everyone on board. Now, of course, we know
that Obama did a deal with the with the with the health care
providers for 80 $80 billion. Right. But here's the setup. And
Sebelius lets it slip,
doctors would have a, a payment provided to sit down with family
members if they choose and, and have a discussion, we were
desperate to do that there were way too many specialists in and
out of the room and way too little time to actually sit with
someone to try to understand,
okay, so it's like a consultancy fee.
Show in the olden days, when you were dying, or your mom was
dying or something was happening, the doctor would talk
to you about it. And about you could do this, that and the
other thing. But now they get paid. I mean, normally, they
would just do this, because this is kind of their
jobs or public service, we'll just we'll talk about all the
options. And we'll sit down. And before when you
talk to your doctor, usually he's not charging you by the
hour. You know, and so now they've set this thing up. This
is what this whole end of life thing was all about. It's got
nothing to do with end of life. It's a payoff. It's another
insurance code.
Yeah, so just a basically a bribe. It's like now when the
doctor says, Well, I think your mom should probably be taken to
an old folks home. Now they can build the government for just
telling you that because that's the whole thing was the scam
that suckered all these or not sucker, but got the AMA and the
doctors on board. It's like, Look, you guys are spending a
lot of time with this, we can now pay you. You risk complete
completely are just unbelievable.
No, it's totally believable,
because it will not put seniors in a position of being put to
death by their government.
Unless you get paid for it. It is now insurance company code
59732.
So now they get paid for this. This anyway, I assume that
everyone there's a lot of these little things you have to read
between the lines. And it's pretty hard to do. Because you
have to listen to people like Sebelius who just ramble
forever, but you're repeating yourself. And she talks real
slow like this. And very deliberately, she reminds me of
that woman that was on the SEC, who is trying to answer
questions as to how the Madoff thing happened. And she was the
same condescending, creepy, bureaucratic woman that bears
her name. Now one of the two, there's a couple of them. But
anyway, now here's a here's a good example. This is another
clip. And this is a clip of Sebelius again on this show. And
we're there and apparently I'm guessing that on a lot of these
morning shows, there's a new guy taken over just substituting for
Stephanopoulos named Jake something. forgot his last name,
Jake. Jake, it seems to me that, you know, if he had listened to
the answer to his question, his own question, he would have
followed up and said, Well, you didn't answer my question
because he doesn't answer it. But I think these people come on
to these morning shows. I just get the sense of this because he
see it too often. And they there's a rule you cannot hound
somebody for the answer to a question they didn't answer. And
in fact, that happened later in the same show where, where there
were a couple of politicians that weren't answering the
questions and the two politicians went after each
other, but the host wouldn't say anything.
That's the whole the all the Sunday morning shows no one ever
answers. The question isn't that they never answer it at all,
ever.
In some funny way they answer it by not answering it. But so play
keep old plan.
Oops, I'm sorry, I fucked that up online. Here we go.
But how can the administration make the promise that if you
like your insurance plan, you can keep it when CBO and other
analysts estimate that some people will be switched from
private to public?
Well, I think Jake, if you if you think about a marketplace
option, and new plans being created in Toledo, Ohio, or in
California or in Florida, the network of doctors is likely to
be pretty identical. A lot of plans exist in the same
marketplace. And doctors are part of a variety of networks.
So the idea that you would keep your own doctor is highly
likely. The other thing about the the new marketplace is I
think the President is eager to stabilise the employer
marketplace. Small business owners right now are dropping
coverage because they can't any longer afford it, they can't
stay in the market with the new tax incentives that are part of
health reform, small business owners would be encouraged to
actually stabilise their insurance.
So in other words, yeah, you won't be able to keep your
doctor but you probably will get your doctor because these these
doctors are all part of the network. They're all part. Yeah.
But question was, can you keep your old plan? It had nothing to
do with keeping your old doctor that was assumed? She never
answers the question. She doesn't even come close. She
goes right off the track immediately. And then I like the
wishes. You know, it could be like, you know, the weather
changing things in Toledo, Ohio, or California. It's
the old politician.
Just stalling.
Yeah, I know. I recently a man came up to me. His name was Pete
and he's from Toledo, Ohio. And he said, Can I keep my old plan?
He said, Well, your doctor will be a part of the network. It's
unbelievable.
You wonder why people are up in arms is because these guys, this
group of people are the biggest double talkers. I've seen. I
mean, they're worse than the bush people the bush because
they Well, screw. Yeah. I mean, they were at least pretty blunt.
Well, let's just double talk
on the thing that people have to understand. And I think
listeners of this show are kind of catching on. But the
discussion is just being taken away from what's really going
on, is that healthcare is 1718, almost a fifth of our, of our
economy. It's a huge amount of money. And all of the the
insurance companies, which of course, is Wall Street,
pharmaceutical companies, they've all done it, they have
bought and paid for every single politician, including our
president, and now they're coming they're coming for their
for their druthers, they're coming for the payoff. And this
is what it's been about. This is what as you said, Hillary
Clinton tried to do when she was the first lady, I might add, she
wasn't
a politician was even
a public lawyer. She was just just a lawyer and a wife who got
cheated on. And, and was clearly a part of the plan. This is all
about money. And we don't see it anymore. We just gloss over it.
And I do love the fact that people are standing up and I
think it's right when people are saying give me my country back.
Because they're starting to catch on, you know, hey, wait a
minute, this, this is not about health care. This is about the
system being so broken, so morally bankrupt, that we're
just we're not even talking about the real issue anymore.
I think these people should stay off the air. If they're going to
be this way with these kinds of answers they need. In other
words, non answers over this long patronising in Ohio and
Florida and California. And, you know, on and on and on droning
under me You have no idea how boring this woman is with this,
but it's so patronising and smug and then she doesn't answer the
questions. It's just really bugs me just, you know, stay off the
air. Don't do these shows. You don't have to go up there and
yeah.
I'm sorry, John. I had to get something really important.
Tough times in the porn industry reports the Los Angeles Times.
the porn industry is broke. John. It's gotten so bad that
Savannah, you know, Savannah, right. Savannah Stern is doing
seven hours of standing around naked for a hustler party in
Santa Monica for 300 bucks. There is no more porn being
produced. John, this is a serious problem, though.
Yeah, yeah. In addition parties up here.
We could get Savannah for three. Hey, that's what finally we have
a use for this money. Let's get Savannah up to San Francisco.
Excellent idea. I love it.
You know, there has to be a couple of porn stars around here
that would stand around naked for 300 bucks for five or six
hours.
I I think, yeah, well, we could get one at your place one at my
place just for an hour and a half during the show. Just stand
around naked.
I'm standing there. And can you get me some tea? Sure.
This is this is really, this is really a problem.
Bogus stories, you're not standing around for six hours
for 300 bucks,
at least five of the top 100 websites in the US are portals
for free pornography, which of course is a good thing for the
consumer referred to in the industry as tube sites.
According to internet traffic ranking service alexa.com, which
of course, which is not very good. No, in this case is
actually appropriate because Alexa is used by system admins.
And of course, these are the guys love them dearly. But you
know, what our system admins doing all day downloading porn.
Some of the content is amateur work uploaded by users, which of
course is the way that's the wave of the future.
Who are all these people? Have you ever thought about that? You
you've stumbled onto one he said, there's like a million
people, you know, naked, doing all kinds of weird things. And
you have to say, Do I actually know any of these people? Are
they working in the in the cubicle next to me? Are they in
the city? I mean, there's so what is the hundreds of 1000s of
people that are exposing themselves?
I think it's a very good development. I'm all for it.
There's nothing wrong with that. I do have something that goes
right along with that. John, Sir David Attenborough. The famous
British broadcaster, explore et cetera, has discovered a new
species of carnivores plant. It is a giant meat eating plant so
big it can actually eat small rodents. And they found this on
their expedition in the Philippines. So now they're,
they've given it a name, the Nepenthez Attenborough ally, and
Bri Of course, named after Sir David Attenborough. This thing
is outrageous. A plant that eats rodents. It's almost like what
was the name of that? That movie? Like a Rocky Horror
Picture Show Movie? Little Rocky Horror, Little Shop of Horrors.
Here. Take a look at it. This is the BBC it's an awesome plant.
And it's kind of freaky, though. Anything that? Is this a new
plant? I mean, has it been around for a while? Is it just
everybody looking? Is this evolution?
Well, it's like there's a similar look and plant that eats
flies. Yeah, it looks like a funnel and flies are attracted
to some goo inside and then they go down and they find yourself
stuck in there. It's a pitcher plant to just a large pitcher
plant
right except I wonder if you stick your hand in there will
happen well, I mean, does it How
does it get crap all over your hands? You wouldn't like it
probably stinks.
No, but I mean, if it can dissolve a rodent like a rat, I
mean,
it takes a while though they get these things get stuck in there
for a long time. These are very slow processes. plants aren't
fast moving.
You right.
Sounds like chewing them up.
Well, that's kind of the dream. Yeah, right. That's much much
much
more interesting in the same articles is unidentified? Yeah,
the fun that is a gorgeous looking mushroom.
It is nice, isn't it?
It's blue. It's a solid blue mushroom this you should put
this in the show notes just saying see the mushroom.
I shall. I found a clip and maybe this is what you had seen
on Current TV but just because we were harping on Laura Ling
and Euna Lee, these of course, the two reporters who were
dumbfounded and shocked that they were taken into custody
sneaking across the border of North Korea. And of course, we
now know that this is a total current TV setup to get some
more ratings because their IPO failed and Al Gore called his
buddy bill and said hey man, hook us up. Can you do me a
solid? Did you see this? This clip of them thanking everyone
John?
I don't know. I probably did. But
you just I just want you to listen to it. It's it's just
funny.
This isn't the one where she's whining and well, this
isn't the two of them sitting together on this I have not seen
okay. It's so they get a little setup here about them being
detained for 140 days in North Korea now. Laura and Yuna return
home
to all of the people who supported you and me throughout
the nearly five months that we are in. We were in captivity. We
wanted to
keep listening to her. It's all the letters and postcards you
sent us. gave us strength to endure the difficult time. Well,
you really you really got to watch it though, John. Because
what's her name? Laura? I guess she's on Alicia. She's so
sincere. I mean, yeah, sure to kind of suck being in a hotel
for four and a half months. But still, you crossed the border of
North Korea to do a story.
Yeah, like you just said we would receive letters and, and
they were getting mailed letters, how much people were
supporting us. We learned about this grassroots movement on
Facebook, about people writing into their congressmen to
the grassroots movement on Facebook. Don't you love
these? This? These people make me sick?
Wait, there's more.
We learned about the blog site liberate Laura. And
which I think is also a porn movie liberate Laura, I'm not
too sure. I think I've seen
that all around the country. These rituals were taking place
around the time of our trial. And we thought about those
lights. And, and they gave us hope. And we are so so very
grateful for all of your love and support.
We're so happy to be back with our families. So it was a tough
time in our lives. And we will see you in time. But right now
we want to go back to our normal life. And
oh, so what they're saying is the special is coming so they're
producing the big special Java Yeah,
there'll be a book deal two Oh, book deal. It'll be you're gonna
get a Pulitzer Of course, of course.
But but in the meantime, we just had to say thank you, and
express our deepest gratitude. We are so so humbled. Thank you.
So
so so
so, so so so so
they like to use the word so so
that's that's to say it's not just a little it's so
it's, it's a lot so nice. It's so good. It's so just like you
know, blather Georgia lawmakers, the Georgia lawmaker calls for
the caning and execution of marijuana offenders.
Gee, I quit just in time. Representative Benton
from Georgia. Tommy Benton looks like a character when you see
him he's on his own on his own websites he's yakking away. I am
opposed to the legalisation of marijuana. He says I think we
should go to caning for people caught using it and maybe
execute dealers.
Fantastic. He says it
works in Singapore. I like it people will always rationalise
things work in Singapore. Singapore is a fascist state is
that what you want?
A good caning is nice from
there's no guns in Singapore either Benton you want that to
you want to you know get rid of all the guns in the world.
Is he a Democrat or Republican?
Well, let's see. He's a I think he's well i if off the top of my
head I guessing he's a Republican who probably doesn't
want guns either. So they should all you gun guys. You should
write him a nasty note because obviously we think Singapore is
that solution. But
here's a story that we missed John and he's a Republican. Yeah
figures. This is from our buddy Andrew or Loski from the
register. This is quite amazing to me. The cru, the climactic
Research Unit, which of course, has provided the global climate
data set which is the most cited surface temperature record kept
by the IPCC from the UN. So basically, this is the data that
the phoney baloney scientists I just I can't wait for the email.
The phoney baloney scientists of the United Nations IPCC of which
not all were climatologist, and of course, there's now you know,
eight 9000 other real climatologist who are against
this research. So this was the research that was used that led
to eventually An Inconvenient Truth and, of course, all the
way down to the cap and trade legislation and has sparked all
this global warming unrest. They say they no longer have the raw
data. They don't have the raw data anymore. There was a number
of freedom of information requests that were submitted.
For the raw data of USA they they're the ones that keep all
the historical data have surface temperatures, and here was what
they say. We are not in a position to supply data for a
particular country not covered by the example agreements
referred to earlier, as we have never had sufficient we use
sources to keep track of the exact source of each individual
monthly value. Apparently they don't have USB drives. Since the
1980s. We have merged the data that we have received into
existing series or begun new ones. So it's impossible to say
if all stations with a particular country or if all
individual records would be freely available data and
storage availability in the 1980s meant we were not able to
keep the multiple sources for sites, only the station series
after adjustment for hump homogeneity issues. We therefore
do not looking at homogeneity with I think I've done that with
someone who wants we therefore do not hold the original raw
data, but only the value added ie homogenised data.
manipulated want to use that word? Yeah.
Oh, that just blows me away.
That's a good one from orlofsky.
That's the fence. It's awesome.
So it's weird that you had to read stuff like that in the
register?
Well, I read the register a lot because it rocks. Because it's
such a great publication.
But it seems to me, you know, can we donate to the register
how to make money? They make plenty, but they make more money
than we do. Oh, really? Should be donating to us.
So yeah, so the headline is global warming eight my data,
we've lost the numbers as cru. As they respond to Freedom of
Information request, the world's source for global temperature
records, admits it's lost or destroyed all the original data
that would allow third party lost or destroyed. Yeah. Well,
that's what he said jobs lost or destroyed, data lost or
destroyed. So this is the actual data that spawned this whole
global global warming debate. It is no longer available because
of the 92 a 1980s. We didn't have enough money to buy hard
drives. That's basically what
he's saying. That's written on a piece of paper.
Yeah. printed out. Unbelievable. Yeah, that'll never see the
light of day. No one will talk about that.
So I was reading this. There's a we have a bunch of these
alternative newspapers in the Bay Area. Lots of them actually
like the Guardian, The Guardian, the East Bay express the
guardian. There's a whole slew of them they got all kinds of
sex ads in there.
Yeah, they seem to survive with sex ads. Yeah, cuz I'm reading
this story I just kind of this this just chain of small
restaurants called Cafe gratitude. And some woman which
may be the place you and Mickey ate at.
Oh, I live I live on
no lives different okay. Anyway, they went on and on she and
apparently somebody quit or some because they make everybody take
a landmark forum seminars, which turned out to be landmark
education grew out of Earhart's seminar training, the ESP group
est, which is very notorious in the 70s and 80s. And as you
know, it's essentially teaching you to be a robot for the
company. And so I'm looking at so I got the biggest kick out of
it, and it's like becoming very controversial. So I'm looking at
the Yelp reviews of Cafe gratitude and this one review
comes up at the top here it says crack me up. Just from Sherry G
out of Los Angeles. Everyone here is so happy seriously, like
not a fake happy but a genuine happy not what kind of a
restaurant review is this? My friend ordered something from
something called an I am magnificent chocolate mousse and
she chi or chi tea, which I cannot remember the chai tea for
I cannot remember the cute name for everything about this place
is literally instant peace down to the servers who want who went
around asking everyone the question of the day Fridays
question. What are you thankful for? I mean, can you imagine
eating at a place like this with a bunch of colour? You know?
Where is this grey on your face and gas? You stupid ask
questions.
John, let's go. We gotta go there. This is awesome.
Unfortunately, we do now.
We got to go and record it. First time in our restaurant
review history, we have to go record it. It's gonna be great.
Bring the bring the G two or the h2, the h2 record. It'll
be a fabulous
interview or you know, the girl when she comes up and asks comes
over and says, If you were a tree, what kind of tree would
you be? I will just ask her. What country would you be?
What are you thankful for? That's like Thanksgiving. They
would do that where you go around the table and they want
us to say what they're thankful for.
No, God, no.
That's my family. That's what my family does. Now. Let's all hold
hands and share and share a secret. Yeah, every single
Thanksgiving. That's what they do. That's what they do. Like we
also were thankful for. Come on. That's nice. is the American
way, John?
Sounds like the Dutch way? No, dude, I
have no Dutch family.
I'm sure that there are some families that sit around doing
that that bit even though Thanksgiving is like a fake
holiday was actually created long after its invention, which
is actually good came and went in the 1800s finally made into
like a permanent holiday by Abraham Lincoln. And it had to
do with being thankful for this for the end of the Civil War and
in fact into soldiers that you know, fought and that's what it
was about. It wasn't about Pilgrims and Indians and turkeys
and corn. Really? Yeah, really. And so then you find it
somewhere and morphed into this bogus holiday about Pilgrims and
Indians and corn. And they you can find references to these
little potluck that they apparently had back when that
said dead people that try to sell the on the holiday. Oh, no,
it is it's about that. It's not about technically Thanksgiving,
which was put into play by Abraham Lincoln. And it had to
do with thanking us for the end of the war and that then the
soldiers who sacrificed themselves had nothing to do
with Pilgrims and Indians and, and they meanwhile, the kids in
school are propagandise about this fake holiday. It's
unbelievable to me. It's a pet peeve Hold
on. Wait a minute, you caught me off guard. There we go.
According to Wikipedia, which of course is the Bible,
Thanksgiving Day is a harvest festival. Traditionally, it is
time to give thanks for the harvest and express gratitude in
general. It is a holiday celebrated primarily in Canada
and the United States. Well, perhaps religious and origin.
Thanksgiving is now primarily identified as a secular holiday.
How can why wiki pedia disagrees with you, John.
They don't do a little history. Have a historian go in there and
fix that piece of crap. Well, maybe
you should go in and fix that piece of paper. I
don't know. Yeah, I just did.
Though the earliest attested Thanksgiving celebration was on
September 8 1565. in what is now St. Augustine, Florida. The
traditional first Thanksgiving is venerated as having occurred
at the site of Plymouth Plantation in 1621. Yeah, right.
So you're saying that this was Abraham Lincoln? Hmm. Yep.
That's fascinating. There's
a very good history actually, I think if you go to divorce
iq.org/blog I think we have the outline of the history of
thanksgiving. I'll go dig it up and repost it. I usually post it
every year in November. My kids are aware of it and they argue
with their teachers in school of course now their wish to get him
into nothing but trouble. Yeah. Heaven forbid that any real
facts emerge from the from the educational environment. October
3. October well document
Yes. Yes. October 3 1863. President Abraham Lincoln says a
proclamation this is the the hero proclamation which set the
precedent for America's national day of Thanksgiving during his
administration, President Lincoln issued many orders like
this and here's the whole proclamation for this day of
Thanksgiving. So it's actually October 3, what are we doing
third, third third? Thursday November What the hell is and
you
follow the history of it and get it kind of bounces around a lot
and then somebody set it in stone and
I believe anything I'm taught in school now this is this is a
gyp?
Well, now I'm not gonna celebrate anymore because I'm
not thankful
for it, that's why I'm sorry, I gotta get set up this cornball
idea that I'm going to sit around the table with a bunch of
relatives I probably don't like and tell them what I'm thankful
for. They can go look it up.
Wait, I have to play it again. That's so good. John Cena borax.
I'm gonna do that this Thanksgiving. When we all around
the table, and we're gonna say what we're thanks for. I'm gonna
say I'm very thankful for President Abraham Lincoln. On
October 3 1863 proclaimed the following and I'm just going to
go through this whole thing. And I say and by the way you did
gypped you were just gypped This has nothing to do with Pilgrims
and Indians and corn and turkeys. How the turkeys get in
there by
the way how you were scammed. Jerrica What do you how do you
think they got into some poultry guy dream now? What are we gonna
do with these damn birds? These things are like huge they were
impossible. Nobody wants to eat them every day. They did. Well,
I got an idea. Hey,
let's let's add them on to that Thanksgiving Day.
I like talking about turkeys. I might as well mention this then.
Which is that people out there who you know you the problem
with Turkey is like it's been bred to be this huge breasted
things that can't even stand up without breaking their legs. And
then they get butchered. heard him sent out and for the one
woman after the president pardons one of them that's my
favourite you get pardoned dude
and so anyway these stupid birds they go out and by the way
they're wild around here I saw one flying flying over the
freeway and apparently in San Ramon there's they're all over
the rooftops these things are nuisances there's wild turkeys
in particular but and it's frightening when they you see
him flying because they only get about six feet off the ground
and I saw one flying over the freeway and if I would have hit
it I would have the car would have blown up I mean it seems
just as big giant thing. Anyway so the turkey over time they've
been breeding and breeding and breeding them so they you know,
maximum white meat and all the rest of it. They take they taste
like crap they're doing horribly, horrible Turkey
flavour that just annoying. You can only eat it once a year
because it's due aftertaste lasts for months. So we always
get heirloom, which I'm sure they're trying to kill out
heirloom turkeys from various growers and you can get some of
these classic turkeys that were actually the turkeys they were
eating and at
1863 Sure. And
I'll tell you, they taste like pheasant. They're delicious.
With the first time I had one I went holy crap. This tastes
more. This tastes a lot more like pheasant than it tastes
like turkey. It had very little that horrible Turkey taste. It
was just a fantastic product. It was just a great bird. I mean,
they don't. Obviously there was a more natural bird without
these giant breasts. And it was you know, you'd have more meat
than a goose. But it was It wasn't one of these commercial,
horrible tasting things.
You said bird with giant breast.
Anyway, that's my turkey story.
You're gonna be more on holidays you can debunk
besides Mother's Day and Father's Day and the Hallmark
reading company.
Those don't count Valentine's Day.
Valentine's Day. I think that's Hallmark too. Yeah, probably is
that wasn't somebody that used to really know how to market
itself. I mean, Hallmark were at some point there was a genius at
Hallmark that could dream up all this stuff and make you know
sell cards. I mean, let's face it. What is a Hallmark card it's
like a card that somebody prints that is like at some stupid
thing because you're you can't think of anything creative
yourself. So you buy a card and you stick it in an envelope and
it cost you like you know the dollar and it's like you can't
you just write a note or you know make a little drawing or
something I'm busy personal life.
I feel so bad for Mimi. She gets like a little stick figure card
No wonder you don't get laid you're there's no romantic in
you John this is usually actually send a car and
make her own cars and my daughter makes beautiful cards.
And we all make our own cars we don't do any of this crap. I run
into a lot of people where's the card? Where's the card? I get to
have a card my mother's like a big card.
I can just see the divorce like family around February 12
sitting around the table making cards for each other it's just a
hard heartwarming visual I get from John it's it's really nice.
It's beautiful. So are you familiar with Robert bend mache?
No, he works for you. He does.
Yeah, he does. He is the new CEO of AIG. So yeah, he works for
me. Yeah, well, he doesn't actually because what did he do
48 hours after being installed as the new CEO quit almost he
went on vacation to his 8000 square foot villa on the
Adriatic Sea for two weeks
on vacation I've worked with people like that that's my job
I'm going on vacation
is in this place is amazing. He's got outrageous pad Who is
this Robert dead mushy anyway, what
we're gonna have to look into him sounds like I got looking
into I mean, anyone has the balls to like take a job and
then rush off to vacation immediately has got it is it I
admire people like that.
Let's see Forbes profile and Robert bin Marshy. 63 years old
August 3, he was named the Chief Executive Officer. Let's see
what he's done. Former Chairman President Chief Executive
Officer of MetLife Okay, that makes sense and insurance
company. Before that, he was president at Paine Webber and
waiting for the Credit Suisse. I wasn't I wasn't a member of
Goldman had disappointing. Speaking of which, you know, I
don't think either of us are a big fan of Fox News or Glenn
watch the Fox News. There's some stuff I like but or Glenn Beck.
But I do watch Glenn Beck because of the time it comes on
as convenient. That's about the time I come home from the
office. And I've been I saved this clip for for two weeks.
Obviously I couldn't do a lot of show Oh crap out here south of
Ibiza but he had this guy on who I think are choosing Democrat
is just that weird guy that looks like he's got a wig on and
yeah that's the guy on yeah I know that I think I know what
clip you're gonna play because I what I thought I have the clip I
just haven't
I thought it was a fascinating clip because it was the first
time actually said oh my god this is very very interesting
and we should figure out who this guy is yes this
guy we want to get him on our show but the thing is he looks
like he's incognito here's what I don't even believe what we're
seeing him It looks like he's incognito he's got this cheap
wig on it looks like you've bought it at like the party
store that looks like crap and then he's got like a it looks
like he's got some made some sort of maybe face work done
that just kind of makes it not look like I think they injected
something in his eyeball because one is not even working. And so
this
looks kind of creepy. But anyway, so it's you know, Glenn
Beck has this blackboard, which I kind of like as a as a prop in
the studio and, and he draws connections. dramatising
everything dots you know, let's simplify it for the idiots that
watch Fox News which let's face it, that's me. And so he comes
up with this interesting story connect some dots about Rahm
Emanuel who of course is is the White House Chief of Staff you
know, he's the he's the he's the dawn in the middle of it all.
And this guy named was it Whitaker white occur
Yeah, whatever red ink or whatever, whatever.
Just play the clip. Shit Of course, I've got all this
America's news today crap that it starts off with Hold on a
second.
Here use that as the as the lead in for the show.
No, let's not use that as the leaving for the show. All right.
I hate it when people do this. Just give me the damn clip. I'm
playing the actual YouTube but so listen to what
Chicago is known for dirty. Chicago is known for dirty
politics. Windy City native Rahm Emanuel no exception to the
Chicago way. He was known as the bag man in the Clinton White
House. That sounds good. Now in the Obama administration, his
strong arm tactics are helping make an all Obama's dreams come
true. It is scary. But true. Pat Condell. He is a former
Democratic pollster. Pat Goodell. Is
that his name?
Pat. I think it's Pat Condell.
Would you would you do a little do a Google search while I play
the clip? I'd like to know more about that guest contributor.
How are you sir? Good to meet you. It's good to meet you. It
helped me out here because I think there are a couple of
disturbing connections and I'm all about that. I think this
whole administration is all about connections. It absolutely
okay, so it's really not about what you see. It's
it's everybody connected to everybody else in the money.
It's almost community organising, in a large way. A
large way. Yeah. Okay.
You're right, that rug is really really bad. That thing is
outrageous.
It helped me out where do we start with with Rahm Emanuel?
Where's what
we started with his role and as you said, in the Clinton White
House, leaves the Clinton White House and he gets two jobs. He
gets put on the board of Freddie Mac, which is the second of the
big giant mortgage.
Okay, there's this we actually knew that Rahm Emanuel was on
the board of Freddie Mac, but But check out how much money he
made from being on the board and how he did
it. His his what is his qualification? Did he go to
school for dancing,
he studied belly dancing. In college, he was trained for
ballet. He
is Freddie Mac doesn't do ballet.
Now that's now he gets. The other job he has is that he gets
a job with Wasserman Perella, which is a major Wall Street
deal company and he gets in there Chicago office, then make
$16 million in less than two years.
In two years. Yes. Two years. $16 million.
It's half of the quarter million and taxpayers gave him for
Freddie Mac
250 for the way he was there when he was
cooking the books. Yeah, let's remember this is their cooking
the books.
Got it. Okay. $16 million. How do you make the 16 million
$16 million, basically on one large deal and there's a segment
but the big deal he got it on was he was advising SBC which
later grew into the NEW AT and T
okay SBC. Right that's not really it. Here's what's
interesting about the SBC thing is the guy who helped make this
deal Yes. Took a loss to the knot.
Yes, the they had to sell because they bought another
phone company Ameritech they had to get rid of a security company
called Security like it was a billion billion a half dollar
investment. He sold to a group headed by a reinvestment group
being led by white acre by Mr. White acre was the chairman he
sold it to a group led by Mr. Ma Annual for about $500 million.
Okay, six months later, six months later, the investment
bank that bought it sold it for a billion dollars.
All right, John, were you following that at the time?
Yeah, a little bit.
But it seems just like like kind of just a circle of corruption.
But the guy is it here's his background, more or less pakoda.
He was a longtime Democrat. We worked with McGovern and 72,
Carter, Gary Hart, Joe Biden, and Jerry Brown. So he's like
old connected well, and well connected. But I think he also
was a consultant for a bunch of movies, including Air Force One
running mate, outbreak, West Wing. Now, here's what happened,
apparently, and this is again, just a sketchy source, but they
noticed it
probably affected he went over to Fox News.
He did well, here's why. In 1988, Fidel left the Democratic
Party after an acrimonious lawsuit with a democratic
consulting firm. So I said, Screw you and went over to the
other side, and he's been pounding them ever since. He's
like a, you know, a nightmarish guy. He's one of those. It
doesn't seem like he's a flip flopper like Dick Morris who I
used to go for anybody. He's like,
you broke up with who? Who just won't keep hounding you.
So he's like, got it. He's got what they would say in the
business a hard on for the Democrat party. So
okay, so now if I understand so that was just a deal. This I
didn't quite get the deal. But apparently, the company was sold
for half a billion and then the guys who bought a lot of money,
flipped it for for 1,000,000,006 months later, I don't understand
how that happened.
They doubled their somebody doubled their money in some some
soap at Google
this white acre guy while we listen to the rest of this clip.
That's good. That's a good
investment. Hey, not bad. That's good now and he took out a huge
amount of money now the president at that time, white
acre was the chairman of SBC,
America does the name white acre, the guy who helped Rahm
Emanuel make $16 million does the name light acre ringabel
packed because when they appointed the new chairman of GM
who announced the day of his appointment, I know nothing
about the car business. His name was what would acre oh my
goodness,
oh my goodness.
So that that I was like wow, that's a connection that no one
reported on I do remember reading the quote of this white
acre saying you know, I don't know anything about the car
business but you know, I have just run it like a business. But
so the insinuation here or the assertion is that because white
acre helped Rahm Emanuel make $16 million dollars in some
bogus transaction or not bogus perhaps but in a transaction
Rahm Emanuel then turns around and says you know what, we're
going to hook you up we're going to make you the CEO of General
Motors, which seems to
be the MO of this of this entire administration is let you know I
think in the olden days, they call it cronyism
so did you look up white acre Did you find it Yeah, he's
uh, you know, I'm looking at his picture. He built a
telecommunications Empire According this and that and that
is a SBC guy, including a $16 billion acquisition of AT and T.
Knickers and he took their name. So at&t can Yvonne is a CIA
front over in San Francisco in that weird building. That went
on to change the logos on the $62 billion purchase of
Ameritech. Now this guy knows how to do deals. I'm in far as
he's concerned, the 16 million that went to Rahm Emanuel is
chicken feed. Yeah, really nickname Big Ed. For you, Sam,
how does you
upon at&t is corporate.
His retirement pay off from 18 t total? 158. Point 5,000,001 of
the top pension packages in the country. It's a hell of a pet
pension.
Wow. And he gets 10 hours on the Texas Yeah.
There was a locomotive engineer, went to Texas Tech. So if we try
to he's one of those guys that probably is finding help and
find out. You know, I think T Boone Pickens is from Texas
Tech, I'm sure these two guys hanging out together because
Texas Tech is a Pickens has taken the idea of becoming the
kind of the the owner of Texas Tech, so he's like throwing
tonnes of money to the basketball and football
programmes and the rest of it to make that school you know, beat
Texas. Skies again to know what to do.
Yeah, that's what's running our country.
At least he drove his own car.
There was a fancy
car, he'd write that Cadillac,
of course, there was a fantastic song that that showed up the
other day. I just Gotta play this for you. This is I don't
even know where this came from. I should play the jingle with it
because it will not put seniors in a position of being put to
death by their government.
Here's President Obama everybody. Oh no worries. Oh,
people got
another lyrics Yeah, this guy's very famous.
Lots of drawers. No hair ever fallen down just a couple of
steps. Hey smackers because I give them a painful and just say
goodbye. We
got like that? Yeah, this guy's I can't remember his name, but
he does a lot of these parody songs. And he does a really good
abama kind of cadence, which makes it which is hilarious. And
Rush Limbaugh plays this character constantly. Yeah, it's
the first time I heard that song was on Wrestling bus.
There's a porn movie that I I've heard about. I'm reliably
informed. It's Obama does Palin Have you seen that one? And they
really don't look like Obama and Palin, but kinda. It's really
disturbing. It's really, really disturbing. Yeah, to see this?
Well, no, you don't have to, but it's, I
don't need to see it. That's for sure. So I noticed that the
Republicans are still sticking to this Palin. You know, in the
course of that she does come up with I know, she's got some
writers, but she came up with the thing of the death panel.
How amazing is it that you know, some woman in Alaska? I mean,
it's got to be a total setup. But just by with a Facebook. I
mean, this is pretty interesting with just by by putting
something on your wall in Facebook, that you can spark off
such such a huge debate, not just in the country, but
worldwide. I mean, that's saying something for the way the
mainstream media runs and how it works.
It's ridiculous. And it's true that Republicans are now
regretting you know, the day they even found her, because
she's like a nightmare. She was she's just keeps coming back.
She can't even keep up. You know, she gives up on a
governor's job after two years, which is I think, enough to say
that she's done. But no, you had somebody the other day, I was
listening to one of these shows, and Ann Coulter was on there
promoting her latest book, The woman cranks out more books than
anyone had then Isaac Asimov. And, and he's going on about oh,
Sarah, she's like a big fan of hers, which, you know, makes me
think, well, you know, if you're going to be a fan of Sarah
Palin, is why you get? I mean, Palin is to me, it's just kind
of a, I don't think she's that bright. And why is they warming
up to her to such an extreme?
She's just like a President Obama. She's a news reader. You
know, that's how she's her career started reading sports
and news, and she's probably some entertainment news. And so
they give her a script, she puts it on her Facebook, and it's all
set up. I think it's brilliantly done. You know, it's like, hey,
let's get this let's launch this death panels thing. We've got to
have some idiots say it. So they get you know, Sarah Palin and do
it and Fox News or whatever, you know, publishes the whatever
she's written. I mean, this is the you could almost see so you
can almost see Rupert Murdoch turning the dials here. Here's
how I'll do it. Here's how I'll make it all happen. I mean, come
on dad's panel. You know, it's got to be that way. In the
Netherlands, where they had socialised medicine for as long
as I can remember, I think it was one year ago or two years
ago, they changed it from the single payer option to, to
private insurance, and of course, it's mandatory private
insurance insurance, which makes it even more interesting. And
guess what was announced just at the beginning of this week,
John? Oh, everyone. Everyone's premiums going up by 100 euros.
Now, there you have it. Yeah. It's the insurance companies, it
is all about the insurance companies.
Yeah, there's some scam going on with this thing we're trying to
do too, is just, I would like to find the quid pro quo for the
insurance companies like I found with the doctors and the the
extra fees, they can charge now for everything, you know, you
get a call in for appointment, you get to probably pay five
bucks to do that. Of course, you don't pay it, it comes to
government pays it what I mean, the quid
pro quo that the insurance companies bought all the
politicians they bought,
what is the what is the what are they benefiting from and how are
they no going to be known?
What do you mean how they're going to benefit from it?
Well, so I want to know, I'm gonna have to get how can they
make more money than they're making now?
Just by raising the fees?
Well, I know but if there's going to be the government
coming in to compete with them, there's got to be some other
scam going on. Okay. It can't be that you know that it's not
going to come in with costing even more than it costs now that
You got it, you know, they'll run these guys out of office
faster than you can imagine if that happens,
we'll see. We'll see. top commander in Afghanistan,
General Stanley McChrystal says, hey, the Taliban is winning an
interview with the Wall Street Journal the commander offered a
preview of the strategic assessment he is delivering to
Washington later this month saying the troop shifts are
designed to better protect Afghani civilians from rising
levels of Taliban violence and intimidation he's saying send
more troops we need more troops
more than eight this is the next Vietnam right in the cycle by
the way little little overdue but falls right into it Vietnam
This is Vietnam all again and we have the same situation we have
a Democrat you know in office who wants to try No promises
you're gonna get out but the only way to get out is to add
more troops so we can get out somehow well there is just gonna
be the same thing we're gonna run out of there like crazy and
about after you know, some Republican gets elected and
bumps Cambodia? Well, there
is a difference is that our guys is president of the country. You
know, this, this cars i Dude, this is this is the evil part of
it. who's living in the palace? By the way, this guy grew up in
America, as far as I know, he went to American schools, he was
George Bush's buddy. No, he went through the entire American
system. And oops, all of a sudden, he's elected President
of Afghanistan. And now he's, you know, I guess today the
like, yeah, the elections are today, August 20. If they
happen, because there was some worry, you know, now, we've got
Richard Holbrook out there saying, Oh, we had the elections
can be stalled. The guy is not campaigning anywhere. He shows
up for like, three minutes at a time because of security
concerns. He's got nine people who are running against him who
are being completely suppressed by whatever media they have
left. You know, we've just, we might as well just call this the
51st state. It's not and it's Holbrook guy. You know, I don't
know if you still follow the, the International Criminal Court
who's the guy from the guy who they found in Serbian guy? Yeah.
Who says that? The farmer with a beard? Yeah, exactly. You know,
he says, Look, I got I have it in writing, Holbrook said, Don't
worry, we'll take care of you, you know, you can, you can do
all this stuff, and we'll protect you. And he keeps suing
over and over again in this court while he's in jail, of
course. And so Richard Holbrook gave me that gave me the Go
ahead, which I totally believe
yeah, there's some sketchy even with that first Kuwait Iraqi war
there's a lot of lost information about how they would
kind of indicate you know, kind of letting Saddam go attack
Kuwait and it would kind of indicating he should do that and
as soon as he did we just bomb the crap out of him. I mean,
there's a lot of this sketchy you know, this back does the
problem with his modern you know, diplomatic negotiating you
don't know what kind of screw jobs he's some of these guys are
gonna get some good does it do things don't quite work out, you
know, blameless. What's it when you do something you have, you
can't be held accountable because you're you know, you've
divorced yourself from the actual event in some way or that
you can't be blamed ever.
So I know that you sent me this rather lengthy article, John
about pretty much I guess it's your way of telling me hey, man,
here's why you should lay off the Ayn Rand stuff because
people will think you're a total nut ball. And I don't I don't
give a crap about her objectivism. I don't I'm not I'm
not a member of the
air we go again another hand. You know, we got here Wait,
do you have not read have to
get an I got an Amazon account. I'm going to put it on the blog
and put it onto the end. I want to we should be making money
from all the promotion you're doing of that of this book.
Let me tell you, this book, written in 1950s. Now, it begins
in 1957. I thought was earlier that 1957 I have not read
anything else by Ayn Rand. I don't care. This book describes
exactly what is happening right now. And it actually has an
unobtainable solution, which essentially means blowing up the
entire country, in a matter of practical in a manner of speed.
Well, it's happening anyway, we're going into total demise.
And it's a moral bankruptcy of every single institution and
everything that that this one's made this country great. And
it's a book you should read it is it will make you feel good
that if there really wasn't John Galt that there would be some
kind of some kind of solution that it does have a solution but
has nothing to do with objectivism and I do not read
This thing like some drone and I did not attend meetings
I never said you
did you've never even read the book I mean you how can you have
read
that read the precursors the same story alright what's the
same book as Atlas Shrugged she just was going for it she was
basically like warming up with Fountainhead and then she like
hit the home run with Atlas Shrugged is the same book same
story I'm sure I could couldn't get through 20 pages without
just falling died probably fall dead asleep I pass out like you
do with the burger.
Why don't you go read it man once it's
better to do but read 1200 page books
I read to do never publish where's your cycle book?
It's coming. I got some new material.
Read the book. Just read this do me a favour just read the book
it only take you two months.
Alright good. Listen to the book on tape. It only take me What
5656 hours it's the unabridged version. Here's a little I'm
sorry, say going back and forth to the city for a year.
He has little did he I thought was an this does crop up from
time to time. But maybe this time was really going to happen.
A collective a group including NBCUniversal Time Warner News
Corp, Viacom, CBS discovery and Walt Disney are joining together
to finally create an alternative to the Nielsen television
ratings. Others involved in the new print in the new project,
which they say is going to launch in September will include
Procter and Gamble Unilever, at&t WPP, estar con,
calm what you're saying with this article, they've lost
confidence in Nielsen
no, they really want to rig it now that's that's I mean, but of
course with Nielsen ratings have been questionable ever since the
ever since they came out you know? Because I think it's still
you know, it's done on such as a small sample although
statisticians will argue with me that that it's usually pretty
accurate
I would agree with them.
But from time to time this crops up and every couple of years
they the you know, there's a group that gets together and
says we're going to put needles not a business we're going to
it's like comScore that's another thing that frightens me
you have to put in the cost a lot of money to get these not
that we pay $100,000 a year just to just for the privilege of
comScore tracking us you had a couple of clips I think that
were left over to me left from that we do them all.
Oh, no, I got the one that I was gonna start the show with Yeah,
I did they give a set up set up on this. I was gonna start to
show that because I thought to be amusing. The MSNBC starting
to do some of these documentaries. And so they did
one on this stuff. The real story behind the Texas Chainsaw
Massacre guy, and they dramatise he really existed. Yeah, they
dramatise it to such an extreme that they brought in this voice
and I want people just to listen to this guy. And just let the
thing play through and you'll get the end you can make your
comment but it's like this voice is brought in for this it's like
read it's not like the frontline guy that's actually believable.
This guy is so over the top corny. That is like why is he I
don't know. I mean it but I find the whole thing quite amusing.
But it was like overdone. It's like comparing a Hollywood actor
to a stage actor, plate of guests
the real truth. Far from being a war hero, Robert Gleason was
actually a former mental patient on the run from the police. A
compulsive hoarder of firearms, he'd been sectioned for shooting
up a hospital and jumped bail in Buffalo, New York. After
shooting a man in the foot.
His conflict resolution method is to be violent or to threaten
violence. He's in love with guns, he's just infatuated
with guns. Unbeknownst to the moment community policing his
past was littered with firearms offences and dog behaviour.
three wives have left him the last one she found him taking a
bath with a dissembled deer.
That's an American doing that voice.
And then they then the shooting at the end of the sword.
Hey, it's time for another instalment of shadow puppets.
President Obama's nominee for Surgeon General is Dr. Regina
Benjamin, hailed by Mr. Obama for her efforts and running a
health clinic and hurricane ravaged rural Alabama. Guess
whose advisory board she's on John remember this is the
Surgeon General all about on Santo. Whoo I should hit The
jingle for that. I'm sorry, John, you are incorrect. No, no,
no, no. Remember, what is the Surgeon General responsible for
the Surgeon General is supposed to remind us to eat healthy
exercise live healthy lives. Is that correct? Yeah. She's on the
board of Burger King. That's hilarious since you got paid
$10,000 a year for serving on the Scientific Advisory Board.
You're telling me that the Surgeon General is on the board
of Burger King? Yeah.
Oh, yeah. You gotta love it. I actually I think Burger King is
probably healthier than McDonald's though.
Not much. I mean, they do the grease is to handle differently.
I mean, McDonald's takes their patties and throw them on a
griddle that so they kind of cook in their own fat. And
Burger King throws the patties on this conveyor belt that's got
a bunch of holes in it. And it goes across supposedly full
names and or some sort of oil, it's flame broiled, and it's in
the flame it goes across the flames and so the grease falls
off the burger into the flames and it would probably bubble up
back into the meat and some some other form. And I don't know,
Burger King over the years has really deteriorated wanted
to track Vicky Rivas VAs squares. A spokeswoman for the
Department of Health and Human Services said Dr. Benjamin would
resign her position from Burger King Upon confirmation by the
Senate. And she will also recuse herself from any specific party
matters involving Burger King for the next two years as part
of the Obama administration's ethics pledge.
The ethics ethics. So what's your name again?
Her name is Dr. Regina Benjamin.
Regina. Can Jim in looks like she's had
a burger too. Actually.
That's what I'm trying to see. She's Oh, yeah. It's pretty
apparent.
nation's leading spokesperson and that's the opener right
there. As the nation's leading spokesperson on public health,
you will continue to promote healthy eating and
exercise. Maybe she should start with herself
as third party counsellor bringing her expertise on public
health on an advisory panel she was advocating for food options
that were lower in sodium and recommending that nutritional
information appear on food packaging Dude we're too busy
reading the cartoons on the food packaging that's what that's the
whole beauty of Burger King
you know we try to make a there's a picture here in this
list that took a look at the photo photos I'll send you this
it's it's if you look her up this This photo shows up anyway
I think people should just start really start to concentrate on
reading these labels
that's the picture that showed up.
Yeah
this guy needs a bra. So you know people have to really start
looking at these labels and take make you know and ask yourself
when it goes when you get to my wife was moaning about this the
other day she went to some she saw something says back to the
original original the original taste you know from the 1920s or
something like that she reads the label and it says high
fructose corn syrup. So that was this original how's this back to
the basic How Is This Anything is high fructose corn syrup is a
new additive way of putting that in anybody's food in the 30s.
But wait, there's more. She also reported receiving more than
$20,000 for serving on another advisory board at Nebraska based
ConAgra Foods. One of the country's largest food producers
with products such as David sunflower seeds crunch and munch
healthy choice and Chef Boyardee
All right. What happened to coop? Coop was still around he's
doing the commercials for infomercial clapper. I
know for help I fallen I can't get up with that one called Life
call.
Yeah, the clapper. Oh, no, that's right. There's a little
thing you push a button and it sends for help. It's not the
clapper. Sorry. It helped by fallen I can't get up. So I want
to mention that we got a recipe here. We're going to we could
have gotten a little more money from that, you know, Sunday
shows don't seem to really generate I don't know what it
is. Almost all of our income for the show comes on and by the
way, if we're going to do three shows we're actually about we
make we bring in about half as much money as we actually need
to do this show, you know and rationalise that to just to do
one show you had to do one show to rationalise doing the show at
all. Although we really enjoy it, and we think we're doing a
public service, but I think the public has to also, you know,
help us out a little bit because we know how many people are
listening to show and there's a lot, and there's only a few that
have, you know, they actually followed up with helping us, and
we're gonna keep doing that we're gonna, you know, have to
do something eventually. Because I mean, there's, you know,
there's weekly begging for money, it's getting pretty old.
Well, it gets old. But you know, the last time i Last Thursday,
when I did it, when I was really getting angry about it and
saying, you know, you'll look at, you just spend 2550 bucks to
go to a movie, which is two hours of entertainment usually
doesn't you don't get as much out of it as you do from our
show, you know how it's gonna end. And you know, how it's
gonna end and you're not, you know, me me, while you're
getting this show. Like, you know, it's like a movie at least
a long movie every week for free. And you use it when you go
to work with most of our listeners, or commuters. And
they listen to the shows there are some others but they tend to
listen to the show going to and from work and it keeps them
sane. Think about what you pay a doctor to maintain sanity or
psychiatrist.
Plus to be on that Obama Caravan, we should be getting
something we should be getting the payoff.
Exactly. So I would encourage you to go to no agenda show.com
or divorce act.org/n. A and sign up for one of the programmes
where there's a subscription that we're going to add a $5 a
month subscription option because of number of people
asked for that specifically. And they said you know what you
don't like to $2 because it's your pay pal takes all the money
with five it would be probably acceptable. So we're going to
add that. And then we also have to add we're also looking for
people that can do grants and we're also going to get stepped
back up and start doing our plans for the dinner.
Yes, because a lot of people a lot of different cities are
saying they will definitely know that but the dinner is not going
to be a huge moneymaker for us it's
more because half of the money is gonna go to the dinner. Yeah,
and the wine for sure. We're not going to break we're not going
to do a cheap crummy dinner with you know, lousy food ended
obviously if you're a foodie, you'd want to come to this thing
because we're going to do probably I'm thinking I'm not
sure what place we're gonna go to boba place like Florida Lee
and in Las Vegas, where I know the chef and he could actually
make a special meal for us and I'll bring one of some
spectacular or double Magnum or something from my collection.
Nice.
We should find them Jong Il.
That's reminds me. Big talk. So, yeah, so we're gonna, we're
gonna make it have a link for you to sign up for the waiting
list. Just for information you don't have. You're not going to
be signing up for dinner. Here's
an idea. Here's an idea. Why don't we set it for
Thanksgiving? 2009?
Because I think my family would object. No, it's
October 3 is Thanksgiving, the official all the real things
real Thanksgiving is October 3. That's an idea in Las Vegas. And
we'll give thanks to Abraham Lincoln.
You could read the tome. I could read
the practical proclamation. And we can get a magician and a
couple of and a couple of porn stars who are apparently 300
bucks for seven hours.
Yeah, that's reasonable. Just having standing there. Yeah.
Just hanging out. Yeah. I think we got a plan in HEMA underwear.
How about porn stars and Hema underwear.
So go to the no agenda show.com or no agenda, dogs
squarespace.com or, or dvorak.org/in a. And you'll get
you'll see all the new stuff on there, the site will be
improved.
And then to wind it up something that of course, this is a this
is news that we've been talking about for several months now, I
think and now and I'm not quite sure who this guy is other than
an Air Force veteran who handled nuclear nuclear warheads in
Europe. He is the chairman of stupid foods and Elmhurst dairy.
His name is Henry Schwartz. And according to The New York Times,
he is sounding the alarm. He's says, an electromagnetic pulse
weapon.
This guy, this guy is like 90, he doesn't know what he's
talking about. 75
is not that old. So this whole 75 is not that old. I mean, you
know,
me, go ahead.
So he's saying, Hey, I'm really worried about this primarily
about our grid that won't be able to handle it. It's
interesting. We talked to Larry, the guy that is renting the
hangar to me at at Oakland and he's an engineer for Lockheed.
Martin works for the Skunk Works.
And John's real and he's also up there. He's probably in his 70s,
maybe late 60s, and John's real coy is like hey, So that that
ages thing you think that really works. And Larry's like, Oh,
I've seen some pictures. And then and I lay it on a enps. And
he looks at me says, Oh, you've heard of those. Oh, yeah, that's
for real. Yeah. empezar for real, that could that could
really happen. But then when you drill down into it, and this
guy's an engineer, and he sounded pretty credible, he
says, But you know, that no one has that technology. What what
did he compare it to? Like Wizard of Oz shit? Or like Star
Wars? You
can do that thing with the a bomb, but you know, you had to
get pretty close within most of what we're hearing is
exaggerated.
Yeah. So I wonder what's behind it then if it's all exaggerated,
because then a lot of people are jumping on board with this.
Yeah, no, that's exactly right. That's the thing. That's the
thing that we're trying to get our listeners to think in those
terms. If like, you start hearing about something even us
because we get suckered into this stuff, too. By the way, of
course, not commonly, but you know, it happens but we usually
correct you know, our flaws eventually. But the thing is, is
you always have to ask yourself what who might be behind this
and why? Why are they telling me this? Because there's no reason
for anyone to tell me this stuff. Unless there's some
there's some motive somewhere from somebody trying to make
money usually. or something's going on.
I got a whole website John just sent me the link. It's EMP X
America. Let's see about us. There's a whole site about this
thing. Oh my god, this looks too
slick to be protecting America against a permanent continental
shut down from electromagnetic pulse. This is a slick site.
Yeah, this is this. This has got to be
in government side of
military industrial complex. There's
something fishy about this to your these guys. You remember
when we first started, we still do this. By the way, when we
first started looking at the phoney baloney sites coming out
of the Georgia Russia versus Yeah. And you see these sites
and it's just like, you know, you know what a website when
somebody puts up an honest website, the sincere website,
there's a certain kind of it Gestalt for want of a better
term, that indicates you that there's probably some honesty
behind it. When you start seeing these things that are way too
slick, unless it's like, you know, a professional, you know,
like a newspaper. Yeah, it shouldn't be because it's a
newspaper or publication. But when you see something that is a
special interest group, and it's really slick, it's very
suspicious, because special interest groups don't have the
kind of money they haven't got $18 million to build a good
website.
So the website, the domain name, EMP act, america.org. And dotnet
is owned by stupid foods and Elmhurst dairy and affiliates.
Technical contact cause MCC solutions the hell is that?
Let's just they must have built the website. Yeah, they built
the website so it's so he paid him to build this website.
interesting to look at. Avi Schnoor Avi Schnoor is the
president.
We're going to follow this a little more closely because
there's something screwy about this thing. And I notice at the
bottom they get so many tracking bugs in there. It's amazing.
So I can't figure it I think
to custom site
there is one there is one thing that I do do believe is quite
real because history has showed it that solar flares and I think
John if you look into your cycles were due from some from
from for some solar activity in the coming years that can
actually fry out the grid that you know these solar flares
we've had solar winds in the 1800s
they can take out satellite too occasionally they'll bopper
satellite off the off the I
remember that in the in the mid 90s I remember all cell phones
pagers were down for like three four days Direct TV was off the
air I mean it was a pretty massive solar activity. And they
do talk about it here on this website as well
Yeah, well we'll look into this
Yeah, but this why like that
org slash na we can use your seriously Oh,
my God, it's gotten so dark here. I can barely see the
buttons anymore on my my current machine. The sun has gone down
over the yard arm everybody. And remember, Adam and John say,
jobs, jobs and jobs. Let's vote for jobs. Sunday I'll be back in
the 17th century canal house command centre. And so we'll be
able to stream live again. And I'm going to test spend the next
14 hours uploading the show.
