because all dudes don't eat dead shit. Adam curry, John C.
Dvorak.
It's September 20 2009. Time for your Gitmo nation audio
publication episode 132.
This is no agenda and I'm back and get
foundation West live from the minimum security containment
cell in San Francisco. The loss that is under threat of eminent
domain and where the granola tastes just that much crunch
here, everybody, I'm Adam curry,
and from what appears to be an extremely hot day here in
Northern Silicon Valley. I'm John C. Dvorak. Buzzkill.
Hey man, good to be back in the same timezone.
Yeah, I don't think it's as good for the listeners. Really. And I
think that you always come up with the weirdest crap when
you're floating around.
Oh, John, you have no idea what's gonna hit you today.
Your state cars just a little bit up?
I can hear it's the slap back. Is there a dude?
Well, why don't you tell me two seconds because I'm only hearing
it now.
When I started chatting when I because now I'm animated now I'm
excited. Now I'm talking. Turn
down yourself. Okay, go ahead. So give me what do you have?
That's weird. I got a bunch of I'm very annoyed today.
Oh, then maybe I should just step back and let you roll with
it. Do you want to pet pee over the day just to kick it off or
it's not a peeve? You're just you're just
come up with a Peeve later.
Oh, you just annoyed in general. Okay, well, what are you so
annoyed about? My friend this
you know, as you know, as you and the listeners all know,
we're not big fans of Taylor Swift and her.
Do we have to do do we have to do Taylor Swift today?
I want you to play Warren Sapp but let me set it up first. I'm
listening to inside the the Why do I have Why am I being
assaulted? tormented, tormented. Oh,
no, no, no, I'm being assaulted. By crap like this. This I'm
gonna play a clip from inside the NFL. You tell me what any of
this has to do with football as it evolves. This is going to be
Warren Sapp. You can barely understood who was Warren Sapp.
I'm sorry. Caption old defensive tackle defensive and that's now
a commentator who needs to take some enunciation lessons, who
now works at HBO. And he provides very little insight.
And then the worst part is he does this bit at the end of the
inside the NFL show, and it just bugged me to no end. And I'll
tell you that, of course, a number of reasons why but play
it
up there in that press box. They forgot how to block how to
tackle how to just play the game and I'll bet Chris Collins
worth was got too much. He's got to get got too many jobs. It's
been
it's always about him the other guy in the mouth. Am I blushing?
I couldn't quite figure it out. But thank you, Chris.
Phil blushing I might have. Alright, you know what? Let's
close out with a set shot, if you will.
Well, Mr. Kanye West, I would pray to the Father above that
Taylor Swift was my daughter. Because I would have came upon
that stage and put my hands on young fella. Don't do that.
Don't do that. That was a young lady's time home or you get the
hand put on your thigh with my little girl. And the President
was right. He's definitely
say from start to finish. Warren Sapp was fired up about that.
Alright, that's it from us. Thank you for watching. Be well,
everyone and we'll see.
All right, John, unleash unleash go
for it. Okay, so this is starting to show up. I found out
about this when my stepson sent me a note. And then it's
starting to show up on blogs around the country. Of course,
it's not showing up in the mainstream media, except in
terms of what you just heard. And Obama obviously dropping a
couple of interesting comments. Taylor Swift and Kanye West have
the exact same agent. Oh, yeah. Well, man, it turns out if you
start reading around enough, this agent who happens to be the
president, and hi, tell me how you get this guy for your agent,
the president of William Morris. Thank you Taylor Swift's dad.
Yeah. He all had already set up a scam, publicity stunt like
this with Kanye West again, and 50 cent some time ago when their
album sales were going,
Dude, but he does this all the time. Kanye did it during the
American Music Awards. And he he was slamming Vince Gill. This is
and notice notice because remember, what I said on the
last show, is that Kanye West is likely an MK Ultra subject and
mind control. I know you said but look, you'll pay attention
when you see him. Whenever he's apologising about doing one of
these things. He starts like rubbing his head and it's like,
like it really really hurts. And you know, and he'll move his cap
up and then he's like And he starts rubbing his forehead
because it hurts because he knows that his subconscious
knows that it's wrong what he's doing, but they flip the switch
somewhere and then he just has to go for it.
Well, of course do you let me let me finish my point okay
first of all that the celeb Jihad very interesting websites
pointed this this scam out and and also a site called beer
steak bullshit which is a very interesting website also point
out but nobody has made the connection or made the following
observation which I find to be distressing. How does the
President of the United States get involved in a publicity
stunt like this A and B. Does he actually believe this is like
this really happened that he had to call out Kanye West as a
jackass. Is our president susceptible to this? Low level
the stupid as low level kinds of publicity stunts? And if that's
the case, what are the Russians pulling on him? What are the
people in the Middle East pulling? What about the scammers
that you know in Lebanon? I mean guys who really know how to do
this kind of thing. What did what's how much of how much was
being pulled over our own president's eyes? If he is
susceptible to crap like this, which apparently he is,
ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to no agenda live on
no agenda? stream.com It's clear. Is this. We go out with
people in the mouth. Yeah. It's a very simple formula. But it's
effective. John, you are so right. I can't refute that.
There's nothing I can say other than, and I connected these dots
for you. Just on the previous show. Remember that Taylor Swift
is showing up on all these NBC shows? Remember, we identified
that she's on? What was the big profile? It was the big profile
show Dateline. Yeah, it was Dateline, Dateline. So of
course, a whole show on her when we made all those connections
between NBC and her dad and GE, and is a huge hedge fund, hedge
fund manager. And he's there in Nashville. So he's kind of in
the catbird seat. He's got the music industry in his pocket,
and he's buying all these awards for his daughter. And, you know,
it's clear that the President needed a diversion from all the
crap that is really going on. I mean, when's the last time you
actually saw a news report about the G 20 Coming up this week? Or
the things that well, by the way, we told our listeners, our
audience heard about the Russian pullout, I'm sorry, the pull out
of the missile shield in Poland and the Czech Republic before it
actually hit the news. We were already talking about it now.
It's like, Oh, no. Now now it now it's a big deal. Of course,
because you know, we broke it, John. That's why they had to
they had to respond day after we broke the story. But it's
obvious the President is in on the diversionary tactics that
are the media's if
he's not, then he's a dummy.
Yeah, exactly. He's no dummy. He's no dummy. That's for sure.
But yeah, that's you're absolutely right. And he goes
on, and he his famous quote, Hey, why did that happen?
Jackass. Right. So his famous quote is heard around the world,
that
whole clip again sent to you. If you play it with it in mind that
the entire thing is set up to get picked up and played because
it is a centre, but nobody listeners have to listen to it
again. Which one is it? It's the one that came in second said
replay clip.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I didn't know there was another clip that
came in. No, there's no repeat replay clip.
It shouldn't be a second clip in there. From last week's clips
because it's in there. Yeah, I have
to load it up. If you give me a second.
You should have all this stuff at your fingertips. You got
this. lash up?
Yeah. I didn't realise we were going to do last week show this
week. What's it called Obama Jackass chat. I have it. You
know, the archival system works. Give me Give me a little bit of
credit. Here we go.
That was really inappropriate.
I mean, it's like she's getting an award,
by the way, listen to the tone of his voice. I first heard this
because I hadn't seen you know, I hadn't seen anything or heard
about it until I heard this first clip. I like I thought
that was an impersonator. Who's doing like a bad kind of like
Mike Tyson. Obama, Barack Obama, like that's not Obama. You know,
and that says something we should probably analyse that was
really inappropriate. I mean, it's like she's getting an
award. What do you got here? Yeah, I agree. I agree with it.
The first question by the way, I think was before the news
conference. Yeah, yeah, I thought it was gonna be the
first question. First question. Ben Johnson
seems like perfectly nice person she's getting her award. I like
her daddy he contributed lots of money to my campaign you know
that makes a lot of sense once a jackass
dickhead press bastards I'm assuming all this stuff where's
the where's the pool? I gotta jump in it. Oh sorry different
kinds of pool. Come on guys.
Oh my god you're so right John. When you when you hear him say
where's the pool? He's almost like telegraphing like saying
hey make sure to make sure this gets out guys it's recorded
right ain't it? Where's the pool? Did you record it? Where's
the pool? Did you get it from slack?
I got a lot of other stuff on my flight deck.
Apparently not. Technically
not he's watching entertainment shows.
Doo doo doo doo doo doo. I can just see the Obama family
sitting there at night. Doo doo doo doo doo doo. Michelle
Michelle get over here at starting Come on. We gotta watch
I remember last time there
was the fly fame that was the highlight what was the fly
thing? That's
where he flipped a fly off of his sleeve. They caught it all.
This was big news. They filmed killing a fly that was on his
sleeve. And then Pete It came all over the place saying it's
cruelty to animals.
And now back to you know that worked out well for you. You
were an engineer.
That worked out well for you Mr. President. You really diverted
everyone's attention during the fly episode Peter. Reggie has
the final release at about seven
was the top six I wonder what that means? Chopsticks
chopsticks I think I don't know what that's referring to
somebody might know so I didn't get I kind of disappointed in
our producers because I didn't get the list I was hoping for of
all the Taylor Swift awards that were one No, that's about it.
You just have to do it myself. Oh god, I'm trying to drop this
door. I thought we're going to stop talking about Taylor Swift
but if this kind of thing would the President's now involved in
her publicity? It's ridiculous. Let
me something that just came in on the drop site which just
tripped me out is so funny. This is you know the backmasking of
the of the 80s Spinning records backwards. So listen to Obama
saying yes, we can several times
yes, we can. Yes, we can.
You can do this at home. Now let's play it backwards. Can you
hear it?
Thank you, Satan. Satan
let's listen to it again.
I love it. I love this stuff. I don't know what I love it. I
love it. I love it. Thank you. That's about as clear as
anything I've ever heard. I mean I've heard lots of these
backmasking go like yeah, maybe I heard it but I didn't prompt
you and you heard it through a Skype connection you could even
hear it
Yeah Did you do the reverse yourself on Audacity or did you
just get somebody else said no this is someone else did this
well I'd have to go do it myself to make sure
and now everyone's saying yes we can yes we can so everyone's
chanting Thank you Satan. Listen
they know that you say you know maybe it goes like you say thank
you Satan and then put it in a no destiny and spin it backwards
and it says yes yes we can that's our that's gonna be our
new phrase
I don't know man. I didn't have the text that came in just as we
were about to start the show so I didn't have time to actually
do it but of course I will I'm that shouldn't be that hard to
to throw it into maybe one of our our producers maybe someone
in the chat room can do that while we're while we're chatting
they can just throw a yes we can and or even better thank you
Satan and see if it says it sounds like yes we can
yeah I'm looking at the way the syllables are laid out and I'm
kind of gun questioning this now.
Really don't question it. Please. The entertainment value
was extremely high
is this I don't see where you get the thank you part from can
backwards was can mean Yeah, well let's let's just listen to
it again. Hold on back it up. Here's the ad. Yes, we can Yes,
we can. You send me just send me that clip.
It's a YouTube Oh,
that's Yeah, I think it may be bogus
Thank you. Definitely humorous. Who comes up with this stuff?
It's amazing
people with a lot of time on their hands. And a lot of people
are going to be
that way when we're all out of work. You know, that's what the
key to success for government corruption is get people back to
work and you can get away with anything.
Oh, my goodness. Oh, boy. That was a good laugh. I'm sorry.
Thank you. Thank you, Satan. Well, you know, it's funny. I
picked up on the way back, I went to Amsterdam real quick
trip, like a two day trip to pick up Christina, who is now
hanging out with me here at the she's learning all about eminent
domain. It's good for these kids to learn about how your
government can get screwed and get screwed. Yeah. By the way,
there's a registered letter for me at the post office, from the
TG PA. So I guess that's the official notice. I have to go
pick it up. But I'm here out. Yeah, I think that's it's
interesting, because they have not yet. I don't think they have
a legal basis. Because they haven't actually purchased the
loft from the owner yet.
So they technically come in with a bulldozer. And that's the end
of the loft. Yeah, I
met the guy from the bar across the street.
Yes, John. Yeah. John Collins.
Please. Why don't Why don't you just give out the longitude and
latitude of my place? Why don't you do
that? Yeah. Let's put it that. Well, it's not gonna be too
hard. If you're going to be going by the time anyone tracked
you down. Yeah, three seconds this way. You're talking about
historic brick building that looks like it was built about
1840.
Yeah. And, and I met him in the elevator. He was meeting someone
in one of the offices here. Yesterday, interestingly enough,
Saturday, and he said as you live here, he says, Now I'm
cross street and said Oh, so when he got to be out, he said
we received our letter. It's December 31. And so I haven't
received my letter yet. And then I saw the in the in the mailbox
that I had a registered letter. So I guess I got it. And I said,
Dude, are you gonna do like a tear down the wall closing
party? He says, actually, I'm going to put on football uniform
and shoulder pads. I'm going to ride the wrecking ball all the
way through. Okay, so I don't understand
what where's the San Francisco Historical Society and all this
in someone's pocket? Obviously.
I mean, that's not that buildings. Only one of about at
least the ones I can see in that area of about six. Oh, yeah. And
that looked like they were pre Civil War.
Yes. It's all brick and even our building has architectural
significance.
Okay, well, too bad.
But I don't think they can actually do if they haven't
purchased it yet. They can't. They can't throw me out. Kelly.
I
told you what to do. But you wouldn't do it. Let's do it. No,
John, you're talking about putting a skull and old Indian
skull in them in the field across the street. Oh, shit.
Okay. And some bones you have do you have?
Does anyone have a skirt? Oh, by the way, before I forget. Do you
know what I received anonymously? In Amsterdam from
one of our listeners slash producers? Six golden teeth.
Yeah, we little note that says you know, this, you don't need
to know who I am. But I really support you guys. These were my
mother's. She had she had them removed like 40 years ago. And I
want you guys to have them just in case. Oh, awesome. It's
gruesome to look at it a little box with like six buttons. All
right. So they're totally meltable and
somebody sent me a gold band or some little piece of gold that
they did cause it is so you know, gold you know against
smash into like this incredible thing this one atom thick. Which
is what gold leaf is? And they said they said they costed it
out what came out is worth $5.50. And
who sent it in? To the to the sender Sure gold.com people
well, we get enough I'm not gonna do over it's just you
know, the one thing is speaking of gold, the there's got to be a
you know, there's got to be an essayist around or someplace
where you can do this without going through some mail order
operation.
Oh, I'm sure we could find someone. The IMF approved the
sale of 403 metric tonnes of gold reserves, likely to raise
$13 billion of cash to replenish its coffers for lending. to low
income countries hit by the global economic downturn. I
don't want to say too much, but I'm not that I'm any financial
wizard, but I got my gold a long time ago. And what is it now?
John? $1,020 1000. Maybe it may have dropped a little bit $1,017
an ounce.
You want me to give you the exact price?
Yeah. It's above $1,000. Which Yeah,
well, we did bounced up above 1000 A couple of weeks ago, and
it's been kind of hovering. Okay, one useless piece of crap
doesn't.
Well, but this clearly has, you know, this, this IMF move is
clearly signalling the importance of gold.
That maybe, you know, I may, maybe, but it also could be a
sucker play. I think they're trying to get the Chinese to buy
up all the golden and sticking with it. What do you mean?
$1,010.30?
Okay, what was the all time high, the all time high was like
1028 or 1030. Announce? We're gonna hit that we're gonna go
above that. I let me
let me just give you a promotion. 2000 for all Yeah,
I think it will. I was just about to say somewhere between
15 102,000 I think we're gonna see that happen. Yeah, I will,
which will more than double my investment. More than double.
And by the way, it's not enough to just call your broker and
say, give me some gold because that's not gold, your buyer and
that's just a checkmark in the spreadsheet.
You gotta know. What bothers me is Glenn Beck is promoting gold
more than you are? Yeah, that
is a shame.
I mean, in fact, Glenn Beck, I was gonna do a little
deconstruction and Glenn Beck,
who, by the way, is just killing it in the ratings.
Glenn Beck has been turned on switch off with this guy. And
there's two things that has happened. One is a change. You
know, he had the midday radio show, they have changed this
show drastically. And I have to say that I and by the end then
he got the cover of Time Magazine this week, saw that and
there's a big scandal about the photo because the photo was
taken by some left wing photographer who doctored it and
this isn't even a recent photo. She just happened to catch this
photo of him some time ago, and it's all and she put extra
blemishes and stuff just to get back at him because she hates
him which is like okay, whatever. So they Glenn Beck has
been yummy. Does it sincere, you know, and then to the world
thing on television, he doesn't quite good, I think is
definitely very
entertainment think it's end of the world, but it's good. I
mean, he's doing
good. It's good to it's good to a point that now there's now the
radio show. They've changed it, they've remodelled it. And it's
now become the number three show at least according to some
sources. Out of the blue, they've changed it to a
political like you take the morning Zoo, and combine it with
Rush Limbaugh. And you've got the political Zoo.
Everybody is doing is Glenn Beck, everybody.
That's about right. And what they do he's got two of his I
believe they're two of his writers that he has on the TV
show because they seem like you know, they they watch what they
try to read don't know who these two guys are. But they joke
around they play the same kind of clips we do with the two with
all three of them laughing in the background, having a time of
their lives playing the Obama clips. It's actually one of the
most entertaining training radio shows. What is it for a long
time?
We're gonna hear that in the Bay Area. What
Shawn I think any w at it's it's a Kenny W I think at noon, or I
think it's at noon. But you don't you don't know
what if it's a new 10 Oh, then he's competing with Rush
Limbaugh, isn't he?
No, no rush limbaugh in the Bay Area's on from nine to 12 on
ksfo. I think Hannity comes on after that. And I think he's
competing with Hannity. Oh, well, he'll
totally hammer Hannity. Well, it's Glenn Beck will be the new
number one show who owns a show. It's not an EIB type thing. Is
it? No, I
don't know. He said if he self Syndicate, or maybe Fox owns it,
we should we should look into that we should find out who owns
but I'm,
I'm getting quite annoyed. I mean, as much as I enjoy the
entertainment value of these guys. I'm quite annoyed with
their
success. You're annoyed with their success and the amount of
money they're raking in? I am.
It is annoying. Yeah. But I'm more annoyed by the fact that
they they put out way too much disinformation. And it's really
bothering me. I mean, you these guys are supposed to be the
paragons of honesty and all the rest of it. Let me just give you
a couple of examples. back some weeks back was was result of
sincerity that he has moaning about the fact that some poor
farmer in Kansas somewhere was couldn't grow his own wheat to
grind his own wheat to make his own bread. The government had
quotas on on how much wheat could be grown and by whom and
all the rest of it. I thought this thing was a sketchy story.
So I looked into it. And yeah, this did actually happen around
1942. And it was a guy who was already like a wheat grower that
had just he was over producing, and he was making the excuses
Most of his overproduction was for his own use. And they said,
No, it's not. And I told him to stop. Glenn Beck misrepresented
the story to an extreme. Now yesterday or the day before, I'm
listening to Hannity. And by the way, people when we ask for
donations, you have to realise that I'm torturing myself. For
you. Anyway. So listening to Hannity, and Hannity is going on
and on and on about how the first lady had went to the
farmers market to buy a vegetable. And so she had 32
Secret Service cars and entourage and all she had to do
you know, because you needed a vegetable, one vegetable, so she
could cook something that night as he went, and he just berated
her for wasting all the taxpayer money while all these people
were unemployed, he just never let up on it. This was went on
for 15 minutes. So I look it up to first lady, she, she was
opening the Washington DC farmers market, it was a
publicity thing. And it wasn't for her to go buy a carrot. It
was because it was it was a staged event. And yeah, she
needed the security there because it was going to be a
public and it was a new farmers market that was opening up near
the White House someplace. And it was only a few blocks away.
So she wasn't driving for miles to get to the farmers market
with 35, caravana 35 cars to buy a carry. This was a
misrepresentation.
Well, this is the problem, John is when you're doing three hours
a day, five days a week, you got to fill the time with something
and remember, this is exactly why our show works so well is
because we don't even set a time when we can start whenever the
hell we want to start which today was a little bit later,
because I had to finish my yoghurt and granola. You know,
they have all these commercial breaks, they have to hit I mean,
it's it's a whole process which takes a whole bunch of crap,
which basically smells the whole show up. That's just it's just
it's the nature of the beast, which is why we clearly hold the
future with our with our format and with our our business model,
although, you know, we'll be eating that one carrot for
dinner that the lady had to get because we can't make any real
money on doing it this way. It still holds the future is more
entertaining. And you know,
my my so Mimi says to me, my wife, she says, once you guys
get a radio show, no, no, that's what I said. I said, No, there's
no way why don't we just shoot ourselves?
Yeah, but she's just thinking of the cash. Dude. That's all she's
thinking about? Yeah, I get this from parents. Yeah, I get this
from time to time. It's like hey, what if you could be on the
radio? Yeah, yeah, we could be on the radio and, and yeah, and
hate ourselves.
And then it didn't it is the teasers. Olbermann and mad owl.
The left wing talkers, who seemed to be not getting as much
attention in this current little battle between these two
cultures. Somebody pointed this out on one of the show that says
one country two cultures, I asked a whole bunch of people at
the office and elsewhere, if they knew about the acorn thing
going on with with the right wing. No one in the office knew
about it. No one in the office knew about it. Oh, my God. They
didn't know about oh, what are you talking about? Except for
Andrew Gromit? Well, Greg Graham, it doesn't count because
he listens to our show. And of course, you know, we
this is the point you're talking about? A lot of young people, so
I don't think there's anyone there over 30 Well, there are a
couple but you and Ron don't count. So everyone else is under
30. They they don't read newspapers. They don't watch
television. They don't even watch Fox. You know what? That
is the simplest.
excuse to older demo.
Yeah, can you I'm sorry to do this. I just have to do a quick
battery change.
On your little on that little microphone you have hanging
there. You know, I think it would be interesting for you to
actually get a real microphone that hadn't you know, of course
you maybe your voice is too deep and you need this little one of
those teeny little one lavalier mic by the way, while you're
while you're changing the batteries, let me get this sheet
of paper I had
to we're done. Okay, that's because I have to do the
transmitter to myself for a minute No, no, no, no, no, no,
no. Very, very disturbing notice, John Yeah, I don't care
about your by the way. We need to we need to really break the
show for this. Of course, it could only happen in Chicago. At
the University of Chicago a molecular genetics Professor
studying the origin the origins of the plague. Yeah, died last
week.
Malcolm Cassatt Dobbin cash cassava cassava cassava and
cassava Welcome to Solomon professor he died but here's
what I thought was weird about that. The minute he die they
pull down his website.
You think that's weird? Or do you think that's so P as
fishy is going on? Because generally speaking, I've
followed you know, these guys will drop dead you can go you
still find their website
research, right? Yeah. No, they took away his research because
he was he was working with the plague. The actual plague
bacteria, and they do an autopsy. And like, well, we
can't find out what killed them except for this plague that was
in his body.
What's funny about he supposedly was working with a with a with a
non Virulent Plague some sort of a mild plague. Just mild plague.
Which apparently wasn't that mild because he dropped his
finger and boom is dead.
This is not good. This is really not good. And then when there's
more plague news, but of course, you know, when you see that
coming from Chicago, that's what really freaks me out a little
bit. Yeah. When
did the University of Chicago become a centre for medical
plague research? Then we
have this is from Reuters. And mosquito borne African virus,
it's still loading here. So I'm gonna give you the name. It has
a name that I didn't recognise. I'm sure you will. Oh, come on,
you bastards load. Oh, now, of course, don't tell me that all
sudden, the story is gone. Are you googling while we're at it?
No, I'm
logging on.
Okay. So it's still loading. Anyway, there's
this story, I'll probably be someplace else. But yes, I do.
You know, remind people out there and I'll remind you to
while we're at it, save your way. Save him. That is wild and
weird. Save it save page as Yes, and put it in a folder and keep
it because that thing could disappear at the drop of a hat
and happens all the time
Dateline Friday, September 18. Washington. According to
Reuters, the United States and Europe face a new health threat
from a mosquito borne disease far more unpleasant. I love that
great reporting far more unpleasant than the West Nile
virus that swept into North America a decade ago. The
chikungunya virus has, they're coming to get me as you can hear
the background. The chicken goonyella virus has spread
beyond Africa since 2005, causing outbreaks and scores of
fatalities in India and the French region of reunion has
also been detected in Italy, where it has begun to spread
locally as well as France. We are very worried Dr. James Diaz
of the Louisiana University of Health Sciences Centre told a
meeting on airlines, airports and disease transmission
sponsored by the independent US National Research Council, we
should Google that the US national research should be
independent in it. Yeah, that's probably different than whatever
else you're gonna find.
It's not a governmental thing. Unlike West Nile virus, where
nine out of 10 people are going to be totally asymptomatic, or
may have a mild headache or a stiff neck if you get chicken
guna which, by the way, is a horrible marketing name. If you
want to launch something. You don't want to be called Chicken
Guna. You're going to be sick, the disease can be fatal. It's a
serious disease. Dr. Sadler, there's no vaccine. Not yet. Not
yet, my friend. Not yet. I'm sure we'll come up with one. The
National so it's the US United States National Research
Council. Here we go. What's a wiki page? The working arm of
the United States National Academy of Sciences and the
United States National Academy of Engineering. Not a membership
organisation organised in 1916. Was it the good times in
response to the increased need for Scientific and Technical
Services caused by World War One? No, they probably had the
fucking virus.
Anyway, so I got another video talking about this now. You
might as well run
now that we're all gonna die. Let's just do some clips. Well,
I got another related clip to the swine flu thing there. It's
the
swine flu. It's a long clip.
It's too long. But we can break it up as we go along. I want to
remind you this was interesting because this is the new did
local news KCBS I'm not I'm sorry, not KCBS. But CBS KPIT X
local Channel Five in San Francisco. And they've been
doing these stories one story after another after another. But
let's start just start this one and then we'll stop it and I
want to analyse it as we go through it.
It turns out children seem to be more susceptible to the h1 in
one flu virus than adults and doctors don't
want this is they changed their story every five minutes. I
thought it was young people
know exactly why. Mark Strassman has a story of two very sick
children and two very different reactions to treatment for the
swine flu.
Now the bullet so here we go. Now we're going to see a
dramatised story. No, it's the ground. Okay. Yeah, no, I mean,
it's a real story. I mean, they have the real person we think
And the real dad and the mom but but that shot like a documentary
and that's why I'm sure. You'll love it. And it goes on for this
is the news. They only have 20 minutes of the half hour space
with the news. Let's stop for say, in a 30 minute news shot at
11 o'clock.
10%. It's more than 10% of the show. No, no, wait,
let me break it down. You got 10 minutes a commercial. So that
leaves you with 20 minutes. You got 10 minutes at least of
sports and weather. Yeah. Which leaves you with 10 minutes of
actual news of which this is a third that is taken away like a
third of the entire show for this one story. What do you
miss? You're
missing the point. John, this is not a story. It's actually six
commercial pods bought by the CDC. Don't you understand? It's
they buy they take them
to the ER immediately. They said we're gonna have to admit it.
They said you're gonna very sick boy. There was nothing I could
do except for pray.
That's that's what I had always believed in yourself. As much as
others believe in you. And I believe in you, Tony. Well,
who's that?
That's the dad in front of me.
Oh my god. Oh, he's
crying in front of his kid. With us.
The bomb sits for hours encouraging his very sick son.
You take it from me. We're gonna fight this together. Above us
today did son Tony photos of the All American 10 year old Tony
got the h1 and one virus last Sunday and began fighting for
his life. Dude,
what is an all American 10 year old?
It means he wasn't born in Kenya.
It's hard to see. Just outside Tony's mother, Lizzie Espen
bomb, keeps her round the clock vigil. I'll
go in and talk to him. But I start crying so easy. And I
don't want him to hear me crying.
Carolyn Howard.
I love that. That's awesome.
First of all, I don't want to take away the fact that the kids
sick. Yeah, of course sick and these parents are are miserable.
They're miserable. But I have to say this. Both of them are being
exploited. Well, I mean, reporting it whatsoever. Then we
go to the next girl who's even sicker. And then they play this.
Turns out I listened to this drum thing over and over again.
Like what is this doing in there? It's not as she has a
breathing machine on which apparently they've miked and and
the volume up and down and up and down on the on this mic to
breathing machine which is going to BUMP BUMP BUMP BUMP BUMP,
which sounds like drums, which dramatises the whole thing.
Don't forget, this is going on for three minutes and 17
seconds. And
by the way, can I just point out when it comes to news reporting,
it is the lowest form of editing typically, that you will see
anywhere. It's Boom Boom is a very set formula. You get like
some B roll you get the voiceover you get a quote you
get B roll with a voiceover you get a quote, but to actually go
and to dramatise and enhance the sound of the breathing machine
and edit it in this thing was done. This took a while. This
took a little bit of time to put together
okay, and it just took a long time to put together was done by
the network, it turns out and when you hear it do what really
got me. I mean, I was watching this thing casually until they
said one thing which I think is coming up Oklahoma City. This
isn't even a local story. This is a this is a packaged story
that is shipped all over the country. I'm sure it's been seen
in other places besides just my station, about two kids in
Oklahoma City. This is what they have to go to Oklahoma City to
find this story because that's how rare these complications
must be. It seems to me if I was going to deconstruct it, but I'm
now I'm completely irked because why is my local station pumping
this story at me and you'll figure it out at the end and I
don't want to say to anybody not to get a vaccine if they don't
think they should get what I do. Don't get a vaccine. Don't get
it. This is so orchestrated that is getting on my nerves in a big
way but play the playing. I just
want to hear that that breathing machine is so easy.
And I don't want him to hear me crying.
Carolyn Howard's daughter Leticia is another critically
ill h one and one patient in the intensive care unit of Oklahoma
City's Children's Hospital is very heavily sedated and
clinging to life for the last three weeks.
I love I have three weeks. Wow. Is that I love waiting for her
to come
home. At home this 10 year old loves to sing and dance. But in
Oklahoma one of the state's hardest hit by age one and one
Leticia got sick and never got better.
Hold on a second. Oklahoma is I thought they stopped counting.
They stopped count how do they know? Oklahoma swine flu? That's
bullshit.
Yeah, da
hold on right here, Oklahoma. What do they have? Oklahoma
public nationwide are tracking and investigating human cases of
the strain. They've got nothing about hardest hit. Bullshit.
This machine called an echo may be her last chance it oxygenates
her blood acting as her heart and lungs to give her sick buddy
a fighting chance.
This is hard for which
Tony's room is on that side of the nursing station. But
teacher's room is right over here. They're 40 feet apart. But
doctors say their chances of recovery are miles apart. We're
gonna pull through this. Tony's improving slowly, day by day.
He's making baby steps forward, which is where we want him to
be. But Leticia Howard's family knows she is not responding.
What explains why one child was not
responding to what John was there anything clear
to any sort of treatment? And by the way, that there's a there's
a subtext Jared, the kid that's gonna survive. They think
oh, wait. Oh, yeah. And had and had the vaccine by some chance.
No, no. Why?
Well, and another child will be not doing as well. Great
question.
Wow. So domain let me just let me just stop that for a second.
So the child doing well is white. The child who was likely
going to die is black. That's what you're telling me? Yeah. Of
course. This goes right back to art to our theory of what did
you call it? The binary the binary weapon? Where if you you
know if you're poor and you're which I guess is what they're
saying with white and black and maybe what you're saying I
haven't seen the P
Yeah, no, there has to be because the one girl is
overweight. She obviously
has been eating McDonald's and
the white kids are all American by the way so he's all America
and this this poor black girl is not all American.
That's what they the implication I'm getting
my god this is actually a hugely racist piece of shit.
You think God damn
wish the answer to it? Oh, my God, this is something that's
that's new for us.
Leticia has weight issues and asthma. Oh,
there you go. Okay, thanks, Jen. I got it. Not
enough doctors say to explain why she's thinking as Tony
improve?
Well, first of all, we know that that if you have respiratory
diseases, that any type of flu is dangerous to you,
particularly if it's one that hits you in the chest in the
lungs because you know, it can complicate things and if you
have asthma that's that's very, very difficult. So, da This has
nothing to do with swine flu at all this has to do with
preexisting conditions
of doctors today to explain why she's thinking as Tony improves
in the way the doctors don't understand why
exactly Isn't that hilarious? Dr.
DeVore, Accra? Dr. DeVore What is your prob What is your your
prognosis here? What do you think is going on my diagnosis
doctor?
complete mystery.
I have no idea why she's doing so poorly.
Something that's that's new for us. Leticia has weight issues
and asthma. Not enough doctors say to explain why she's
thinking as Tony improves 43 of America's 593 h one and one
deaths have been children under 18. So far, none of them in
Oklahoma.
Well, wait a minute. There you go break there was like Oklahoma
hardest hit. But but none of them none of them died in
Oklahoma. My brain is freezing John
where two families are at the crossroads of this mystery
virus. Mark Strassman CBS News Oklahoma City
for the first dose
right now now you gotta listen to the clothes that the top the
local boy coming on to to put the sale screws to the public.
Okay,
here it comes says of the swine flu vaccine should be available
early next month and they will probably be the nasal spray
version. That version called flu mist is approved only for
healthy people between the ages of two and 49 only 3.4 million
doses of the nasal spray will be available however the CDC says
that it's possible to some vaccine shots will become
available by the first week of October as well.
So this this has baffled me as well since when our vaccines
applied through a nasal mist
well here's what baffles me even more when they when they said
that this stuff this stuff called this blue mist or
whatever they call it Yeah. When did this even show up in the
news I thought we have to had two shots two are gonna have to
add two shots plus your regular flu shot two shots, three shots,
but you know what Norah Jones said his brace I'm in your nose.
Here's
the setup. Here's the setup. So now I understand why they had to
get rid of the company that makes that homoeopathic shit
that you use all the time, which you spray into your nose. What's
that company called again?
Right. Zai cam Zai cam,
they had to get rid of Zai cam because they didn't want people
buying the so called homoeopathic stuff because you
know, of course anyone who has a, a nasal mist, you know,
people, they're going to market it or whatever. And people go
out and buy that or just be confused in general. So they had
to as usual, so they had to kill
Zion huge by the media. Yeah,
they had to kill Zeichen. And by the way, why did they kill Zai?
Cam? They said it was because it could. It could cause permanent
loss of smell. Yeah, your senses. Yeah, no, I think this
untested, or at least at best, poorly tested nasal mist
vaccine, could probably do some other damage, but nothing,
nothing for consumers about that. This is an Christina and I
were walking. We walked down to the bank the other day. And
we're walking past Walgreens. And of course, Christina is
switched on. She's like, Ted, they're selling the flu shot at
Walgreens. Yeah, baby. That's right. That, of course, is for
the seasonal flu. But you can
add that's another thing that's baffling. I think I mentioned
this before. I don't understand how the seasonal flu vaccine got
such a head start this year. Every other year, it comes out
about the same. I get that seasonal flu shot every other
year. It comes out about the same time around just around 10
days into October. So John never comes out in September 15.
Because they can't make enough of it and do whatever the
process is it takes too long for
change. Are you are you thinking of getting the Susan seasonal
flu shot this year?
Not this year? No. I've got enough. Tamiflu and Relenza, he
breaks from
tradition. Gee, you know,
I just get I'm a little suspicious of the scene right
now and fine, really, currently doing the show.
I have saved at least one person I feel vindicated. I feel
completely vindicated that
shot. But anyway, yeah, no one wants to go take it big man. I
could take the shit doesn't make any difference. I haven't had
the flu ever since I started getting that shot. So there must
be something to it. Not that I don't think that the whole thing
is rigged.
Hey, of course, I continue to track the as I what I believe to
be a war between the at least some of the Obama administration
and the CIA, although I actually believe I think when looking
looking into the situation now. I think Rahm Emanuel is probably
a handler for Obama. He's probably a CIA operative. And
they've put him as the Senior Chief of Staff, whatever it is
to handle him, but I don't think he's able to handle him that
well. And this news story comes out in the LA Times who unlike
and more and more, because they these guys, they report on some
interesting stuff. Seven, count them seven ex CIA chiefs have
now gone on record and said, Hey, Obama, could you like to
call off? Eric Holder with his investigation into the CIA and
the
story ran the first thing I thought was you Yeah, yeah.
Um, well, this is good. I like that association. Whenever.
Whenever you see something weird about the CIA, think of me.
Okay, that's really good. So John Deutsch, Porter Goss,
Michael Hayden, James Slazenger, George Tennant, William Webster,
James Woolsley. All said, Hey, you should call this off dude.
And I have to say I'm fearful. I am very, very fearful. These
guys, the CIA who of course are they are really secret not just
in even their funding is secret. We don't know where they get
their money from Congress doesn't approve their money. Do
you know how CIA the CIA is funded? John? Don't answer
because you don't know.
I don't actually know. I mean, I thought they're supposed to
somehow get some something from the general fund, but I don't
know how I
get it. It's from the Madoff funds. That's how they get the
fund. That's why they had the suicide all those guys. That's
the connection. That's how they that's how they get all their
funding.
So what do you suspect could happen here? Bad? Well, a cup?
Well,
a couple of things could happen. First of all, we're in a very,
very interesting place in time where Obama is warming up to the
Russians. We have Israel Oh, my, the link wouldn't work and of
course thank you don't you don't need to remind me I should have
actually saved that I think was an Israeli publication in
English, though. Someone in the Likud has said You know, it
looks like we're gonna have to attack Iran sometime around
December. You know, I think it's well,
the holiday shopping season is
good one job.
You know, the CIA is now building the largest presence
anywhere in the world in Afghanistan according to the San
Francisco Chronicle there so they're they're clearly
expanding and you know, it's well known that the links
between the CIA and the Mossad you know, just looking at what
Obama is doing it just feels like more and more war and then
we have all this weird shit going on. Like, member we talked
about the there was a the so called thwarted attack on on the
President when he was in New York to do his his wall street
talk. They they raided some guys, and I think it was
Brooklyn or the Bronx or somewhere like that. Well, these
guys, turns out are from Denver. Have you been following us?
Because there's a little bit of this has been on
on tele No, actually, I have not been following that at all.
Okay, let
me get you the link here. This is from Reuters. The guy's name
is Zazie. Which is why ya know, the jahazi thing. Yeah. Okay, so
So this is, this is what I what I don't get, and the story is
that the guy has links to al Qaeda links to al Qaeda. He's a
native of Afghanistan. He's an airport shuttle bus driver in
Denver. And I'm sorry, he's from Denver. He was living in Queens.
So they suspect this guy have links to al Qaeda. And he's not
arrested. He's just walking around. He's like, Oh, I'm not
talking to you to interrogators anymore. Just talk to my
attorney. This is a weird ass frickin story. Really, really
weird. If someone truly has links to links to al Qaeda, and
I suspect you have something then they should be locking this
guy up. But he's not locked up. He's walking around news cameras
are following him. He's like, you know, and he just
like it's almost staged? Well,
I think that the gas stage or the guy is 100%. CIA.
Well, staged? Yeah.
Yeah. And of course, we know that, you know, he's from
Denver, we know that the new CIA officers are in Denver.
They're moving everything to Denver to that weird underground
facility with all this crazy art.
If anything, I'm worried that we are potentially looking at a
repeat of Northwoods. Which happened during the JFK era and
not long after? That was kind of foiled. JFK was assassinated.
Now, you familiar with Northwoods?
John now? No, it does it in a legacy of ashes book?
No, actually, it's in the it's in the JFK in 97, or 98, they
released the JFK archive. Let me see if I can find it for you.
Anyway, Northwoods was what we call a classic. What happened
here? Why did that somehow my session got killed. It was a
classic false flag attack, where the idea was, you know, to make
it look like Cuba had attacked or was going to attack and
therefore we could go in and grab Cuba. So you know, it was
going to attack attack what Yeah, I
don't know, attack a jellyfish. So that's kind of the feeling I
get as a repeat of history. And I fear for our president and
Glenn Beck both kind of at the same level there.
Ya know, I think Glenn Beck has been set up for something
because I've never seen a guy make a move. So he's been on the
air for a year
before you go. So check it out. So here's how it could work.
And, and I don't think anyone in America, if you're, if you're an
actual American, or just have a love of this country would want
anything to happen to our president. But my feeling is
we're being set up. And here's the setup. By the way, it was
fun to see someone who was oh, it was that douchebag Bill Maher
actually called out the Kanye West Taylor Taylor Swift
extravaganza as another fueling of the fire for racism in the
United States. He says, Oh, here's a black man taking the
award away from a white woman that this guy is a huge
troublemaker. And wouldn't it be horrible if there was a setup if
there was a false flag attempt planned, and it was going to be
blamed on racism? This, this is what if you want to bring down a
country do that? Do something to the President say it was a
racist attack, and then just step back and watch the shit fly
with this whole country. We'll come to out in seconds and
that's that's what I'm really worried about that type of
takedown
Yeah, I'm not thinking that's gonna happen it's a
good setup though man. They're setting it all up with racism
shit
douchebags are setting to trying to, I think most people aren't
even paying any attention. That's the joke of it. I mean,
they've got the public so dumbed down that except for a few
people that listen to our show, and contribute mightily. And,
and a few people that watch you know that I don't even know what
else you can watch it, you can trust. Somebody brought it up on
one of these shows. And I thought it was interesting. They
call it one country in two cultures. And this is what I was
trying to point out when I was asking people about who heard
about the acorn tapes over at the office. Not nobody heard
that. But they all knew about Kanye West and how he was a me
he was mean to Taylor Swift. You could probably talk to the same
group of right wingers at all, no at all, but worked up about
the acorn and the major media is not covering it. And it's a
disaster. And you can ask them about Taylor Swift, and they
want to know who she is, although Glenn
Beck made a good point, or is he starting to make a good point?
He's hammering it over and over. He says that we should stop
calling publications like The New York Times mainstream media,
its fringe. And when you look at the numbers, he's right, he's
right. I think that's that's actually a pretty good point.
You know, how's jet his jobs Jay Leno doing has he dropped down
below 5 million viewers yet?
I know he dropped down to like, 30%. The second night, I
know more than that, oh, no more than that. I thought he dropped
down by like 40%. And he went from 80 million to 10 million.
I think he's levelling off. So we'll know I give him another
week. And then we'll have a real number. By
the way, another fine NBC production that use the NBC
orchestrated Kanye West Taylor Swift controversy or
controversy, I should say, to try and boost his own ratings.
Now, that said, By the way, there's a somebody came up with
something on one of these shows saying that the reason that NBC
is so pro Obama is not really about Obama, it's about the cap
and trade is g and g 10. It will benefit enormously if they can
come up with this passes. I'd like to get some some links to
some documentation that indicates
I have a I have this from a couple of weeks ago, I'll look
it up. GE has been telling at you know, at like certain
company events, has been talking to their employees about you
know, we really need Yeah, of course, employees can donate to,
to politicians. Of course, that's how it often happens. If
you look at donations, you know, see a whole bunch of people from
one law firm or from one Wall Street firm. So GE, of course,
has a couple of employees and the saying, you know, you really
should support these politicians, because they are
working on legislation that will benefit General Electric. And
that, of course, is a huge conflict to be saying that.
I would think okay, so I, NBC and NBC News and MSNBC and CNBC
Rachel Maddow, and what's his name to get the big head
Olbermann? So yeah, you know, so for them to be saying that
that's I think that's a pretty big deal. And I can probably
look up look it up real quickly for you.
While you're doing that, by the way, you might have also also go
to your email and get the message from Ray their radio
guy.com Guy Yeah. And he has sent you he went and did they
reversed the yes we can Yes, we can thing and has a clip. Oh, it
hasn't gone both ways that he actually did we can trust Okay,
hold on. Let me just download this. Here we go. Yes, we can.
Yes, we can. Thank you, Satan. Thank you, Satan. Flip now. Try
the SV man. He'll say, man, you're safe. Thank you, Satan.
Yeah, it
sounds like it's a mash. You say it is not as good. Well, he also
thing was tweaked.
Let me listen again. Yes, we can. Yes, we can. So the thing
that he did wrong, though, is he he reverses. Thank you, Satan.
And that doesn't sound like yes, we can. He reversed it in the
wrong order. But let's listen again. Thank you, Satan. Thank
you, Satan. bsv net bsv. net. Net he will say man he will say
you know if you if you have a little bit of Obama's drawl I
think it actually might work John I can hear it I can hear
Thank you Satan. And if you have a little maybe and by the way he
had to practice right you know, they don't just make the guy
President like that. as like, dude, you've gotta you gotta
practice this. Yes, we can. It's got to be drawn out. Otherwise
you don't get the Satan in the reverse. I gotta work on it.
Ray, thank you. That's awesome. Not as not as clear as Obama's,
he says, but they're both phrases twice for them reverse.
Yeah, I buy it. I did sounds a lot like it.
Yeah, well, we'll stick with that story then. Yeah.
Yeah, it's gonna be my ringtone. What are you talking about?
We'll stick with that story. That's this is this is the
biggest story of the decade as far as I'm concerned.
Yeah, heck with all that CIA government takeover stuff.
I can't, I can't find. Yeah, really, who can't? Who gives a
shit about that? I can't find the prompting employees. I'll
have to look that up. We'll do it on on Thursday show.
So there's a big stink about the fact that San Francisco's got
these just just started and exactly who approved this or
whatever. I'm not sure I'm sure they split it. But the San
Francisco Airport has been $190,000 of the taxpayers money
or those fees that they add to your every flight you take for a
climate passport kiosk. So when you go past security
checkpoints, you'll see these are in the terminal three and
two or more in the
internet. I haven't seen anything in international yet.
Well, they're supposed to be two in the international terminal
someplace. And there's one in terminal three. And it's
apparently you go in there energy you punch in your flight
and it calculates how much you know, carbon credits, you should
probably donate to this company so they can plant a tree.
Well, I see that stuff on Checkout on airline websites all
the time. And they actually have a little link there. So you can
you can go and buy your carbon credits.
Somebody did the calculation. I can't. I can't confirm it. But
they said that if you actually did a real good looked at the
real carbon credit trading that's going on, you're paying
60 times more than you would if you actually we're trading
really, you don't you don't say?
Yeah, it's amazing. Oh, no, do
you gotta love it when you see a new story like this, John. On
Monday, I know where you're going on Monday, August 17,
Monsanto Chairman president and CEO Hugh Grant, which by itself
is just funny, sent a letter to his counterpart and competitor
DuPont Board Chairman Charles o holiday Jr. Claiming that
chemical giants actions were quote, misleading to the public
and a serious breach of business ethics far beyond honest
competitor B hit competitive behaviour down yours. I'm sorry,
wrong one. This is the one I met. Hello, kennel. This is the
pot calling the punch line.
Well, you sure blew that joke.
Yeah, I did. But my God, I mean, this is crazy. They're calling
each other names and being misleading to the public. These
are the most evil corporations on the planet fighting it out
publicly in court and in the media, about dumping toxic
chemicals bribing top officials in the Indonesian government
employing children in India and Oh, yeah. Killing people. It's
just outrageous. Is that the story? You thought I was gonna
do?
Yeah, it was yours. You played the Monsanto Monsanto story we
have an A can I know there
is another one.
Oh, well give it to me.
Yeah, the other one here from Associated Press chemical German
chemical company. BASF. Which I thought they only did like,
videotapes.
Yeah, that's what that's it.
How stupid am I I thought BSF was like a high high end audio
company. German chemical company. BASF says it has
received us approval to market a new herbicide to battle
broadleaf weeds resistant to a chemical comically common
commonly used in herbicides like Roundup.
edition is just basically Agent Orange.
Oh god BASF said Tuesday the Environmental Protection Agency
has approved its kicks or I love the name kick soar case kicks
your herbicide for use in for products that will be offered
this fall. Hey EPA Way to go guys, thanks. expected sales,
which should be 200 million by 2012. Growers discovered that
some broadleaf weeds have developed a resistance to
glyphosate, which is the chemical that Monsanto first
patented and use in Roundup. VSF says kicks or herbicide will
attack those resistant weeds. And then and here's the kicker a
Monsanto spokeswoman declined immediate comment. So that
doesn't sound good. So you know fine Only Mother Nature takes
over and says, Okay, we're just going to stop, you know, with
with this glyphosate and we're just, you know, we've got to
build some resistance against all this crap, then BASF Oh, no,
you don't, we're gonna come out in there and kill you. Gotcha.
Gotcha now. And the EPA boomp just approves it, even the EPA
that I detest, but even though glyphosate in the huge story
about that a couple months ago is known to kill unborn babies.
It's hugely toxic for for foetuses for unborn unborn
children, hugely toxic. And the EPA is like, oh, yeah, we'll
approve that. Sure. How much of that 200 million in sales? Am I
gonna get? Please, if you haven't had the chance. Go see
the informant it opened on Friday, I have not seen the
movie. And I'm kind of afraid to. But the general story will
give you enough background if you don't feel like reading the
book, to see exactly how these huge corporations which screw us
screw us out of money through price fixing, lying corporate
theft, you name it, and get away with it and just get away with
it. And of course, the little guy in this case, Mark Whitaker,
who was a kook, by the way, and a total which is why the move
with the book was hilarious when you see and it's a true story.
And I'm sure the movie really plays off of that with Matt
Damon playing this. This whistleblower Mark Whitaker, who
of course was actually embezzling money and doing all
kinds of crazy shit and was just a psychopath. He gets you know
like 10 years in federal penitentiary and and all the
guys who are doing all the actual price fixing you know, go
to the country club and get off and there's you know, minimal
fines and an ADM Archer Daniels Midland Corporation continues to
sponsor programmes on public television because they are
America supermarket.
If you want to go in that direction,
let's let's just play that NPR clip again. From last week
I let's do this go do a better well, yeah. Okay, play that one
first. And I want to dive in. I have two more clips related to
it.
It's actually PBS This is the chairwoman
though the CEO CEO of PBS National Public Radio.
So this is you know, remember we take donations which comes out
of the goodness of your heart, and they are supposed to be
taking donations out of the goodness of your heart, but for
some reason, it seems more like well, she tells it herself.
Good for you, but it doesn't go down very easily. Do you think
that's the best news channel? No, no wrong. The wrong one.
Yeah. I don't have that. I didn't reiterate that clip. You
have to go down. I thought
I saved it specifically.
No, you're playing it. Oh, here it is. Here
it is. It is NPR? I'm sorry. I got it. My mistake. Okay,
moving on to money. How are NPR is corporate underwriting
revenues holding up in the recession?
So once again, this is National Public Radio who are supposed to
be existing due to your generous donations and grants from
foundations because they're a nonprofit with great looking
offices and automobiles, but listen to the actual answer and
what
about foundation grants
to different stories. Underwriting is underwriting is
is down it's down for everybody. I mean, this is this is the this
is the area that is most down for us is is in is in
sponsorship underwriting advertising. Call it whatever
you want to call it, whatever
you want it yeah, we'll just call it advertising. Okay, call
it whatever you're calling it. And by the way, our donations
actual true honest donations are up. Not much but they're up.
No, they are up. Yeah. Okay, Joe, I think people are finding
the show valuable. Yeah. You want to say you know what I
think is probably you know, maybe I think it may be because
we're just like, like just annoy me we just have a lot of
annoying information.
We may have a hit on our hands John, let's keep it up.
So play the one now there's two of them that I've got there. I
think one of them that you started the one you just started
to play I want to play and I want to get set it up first.
This is again from that Bill Maher show that had Kathy
Gryphon and all of a sudden Ron and the roundtable panel Cathy's
all out of the blue starts babbling about what do you think
the best news is? What do you think the best news is? PBS PBS
PBS Oh, your PBS national treasure. Let's play it.
It's really good for you but it doesn't go down very easily. Do
you think that's the best news channel? Absolute news our
public treasure National Public Radio? Yeah.
National Treasure Oh, yes. Let's applaud for NPR. National
Treasure.
Okay, so now I'm gonna go back to that press meeting at the
National Press Club. And what I find interesting is that this
depressant of the National Press Club who's Asking the CEO all
these questions. She's, you know, she's I think she's
supposed to be a reporter. But she just like some very kind of
mousy woman who it's kind of embarrassing. She asked a
question doesn't quite frame it just right. But I'll tell you
what the question is supposed to be. She's got this woman she's
now she's gonna give it to her because his new DNS question and
answers, you're gonna get it with one of these questions. And
so she says, Well, you know, it's interesting that you've
just laid off 60 people, but meanwhile, you're building new
digs down the street that are worth out. Fortunately, that's
Can you kind of come to grips with this? Yeah, that's the
huge television studio. They're building for their big news
show, which is a national treasure NPR laid
off in excess of 60 hours also moving to grand new digs into
the street. I'm
sorry, did I? What did I do wrong?
I did the beginning. We stepped on it. Okay, ready? Yeah.
And laid off in excess of 60 workers. But NPR is also moving
to grand new digs in two to three years. Please explain how
you can afford
does she say grand new instead of brand new?
I think she said grand grand digs, by the way, is a as a
journalistic term.
Yeah. And it's, it's really, it's a term The elite are using
more and more these days, because they heard about this
website called Digg. And I thought it was kind of cool to
use Diggs and PR laid
off in excess of 60 workers, but NPR is also moving to grand new
digs in two to three years. Please explain how you can
afford the new spot? Well, the
moving status is up in the air for one thing, but we did what's
happened is we earlier this year before the actually, in some
ways, it was a very good thing that had happened before, you
know, the economy went like this. We bought a what's a
building that would become that would be torn that would be
reconstructed into new headquarters in what do you call
it new, the new new co no mo, no, Mo Thank you gotta get my
neighbourhoods Right. And, and we sold our building at 635
Massachusetts Avenue, we were actually either really lucky or
really good or both, because we sold it at the top of the market
and got a good price for it. So now the economy has gone down.
And we are evaluating our options about how we raise money
for the new building. But we've got this, this nice cash buffer
from the building that we've sold, and we're, we're looking
at timetables now and how we how we move forward with that. So
it's a challenge in this economy, but the building one
building is sold and other is bought and we'll take it from
there. Oh, what
does that have to do with this peat? 60 people who are laid off
you asking me we have this nice cash buffer from the new NoCo no
mo no more homo, whatever she's called.
These people are they are elitist. They are scammers. They
are thieves. They are they are corporate shills, they are
holes. I tell you they were a complete holes. And you should
not be listening to them. Exit Car Talk is kind of interesting.
But But I mean, seriously, Doesn't anyone see the obvious
corruption? And just look at turn on PBS. listen to NPR.
Listen to all the huge corporate sponsors or whatever you want to
call it like advertising. Please do get a freakin grip. This is
not a national treasure. Kathy Gryphon. Your tickets are a
national treasure, nothing else?
Maybe they're not. So they're probably a pretty good major
point. But the point is, is that and the funny thing was they
asked her there's another clip I have to go back and, and
recapture because it was a very funny question. They asked her
something point blank about something and she said she had
no answer for it. And it was like she didn't obviously didn't
know about
it. And she sent me that whole thing. I'd love to hear the
whole recording, I owe the holy crap send you the whole, rich,
and I'll put it up a put a link in the show notes so people can
listen to the whole thing. And so it's obvious that at this
point in time, I think we should just reiterate once more. This
is the entire reason why John and I chose this business model.
We don't feel we have to work for free. We might as well be
working for free because we ain't making that much money on
donations. But it's okay. It's coming in and it's growing. And
as long as it's growing. I'm really, really happy because it
shows that there are people out there who want to participate in
this form of media, this format, which requires very little
investigative journalism on our part, it actually involves the
entire audience as producers. We do have to sit through a lot of
C span. Find out a lot of boring shit it alienates our families
who
it really does. It really does. My daughter
Why are you watching this crap? Yeah, exactly. Why
are you watching is old Nick who's who runs production media.
I was like, Dude, why are you watching these old dudes? What
kind of show is this? I'm watching C span. Why are you
watching these old dudes? This is no good, man. You know, turn
on. Bravo. So we go through all this, but it's working, if
anything, and I just want to plug a book. No, it's not going
to be Atlas Shrugged. I do. I do want to plug I'm about halfway
through it. It's a fun book to read. Although Dan Brown has
often been debunked as being historically incorrect, and
cetera, just the entire idea behind his new his latest
release, the last symbol, which I picked up at the airport, it's
it's only in hardcover right now. But it's, it's a quick
read, I have a real problem not visualising Tom Hanks
continuously throughout the book. But in some ways, that
kind of helps. But it's it makes it a little goofy. But the
forget all the Masonic stuff and everything, which I'm sure a lot
of it is based on historical fact. And all the there are a
lot of, you know, we know that some of the founders were
Freemasons, and there's a lot of Masonic symbolism in the United
States. Yeah. But the basic idea that there is a conscious a
consciousness of awakening amongst citizens. I do believe
in some form is happening. Maybe it's a little bit of the Tea
baggers. I think a lot of it is people just understanding that
the media is feeding a shit. Yeah, it was a part of it. You
consider
the possible that Dan Brown is a mechanism. You know, Dan Brown
was sued by one of my bloggers and who's also a wine expert,
the guy who wrote the book on the French conundrum, you know
why the French lived so long, and they blamed it on figured
out was wine. And he wrote a book that was very similar to
Dan Brown's other book ended up suing him and suing Random House
found his place, you know, bugged with all kinds of weird
devices and he lost the suit, he got thrown out. It was a very
sketchy situation. And I've always been suspicious when I
think Dan Brown does now shows up well, let
me answer let me let me answer that. Yes, I not only considered
I believe he's a total plant. Because it's just like, why you
know why? And that's why I call myself the crackpot because when
people come up with really wild conspiracy, what is immediately
deemed a conspiracy theory, the easiest way to get rid of that
person is to minimalize him by saying, oh, that's just crazy.
So it's better to put out something very close to the
truth and say, It's just crazy. It's just a crazy story. This
Dan Brown, he just made it up. Of course, he's a plant, and
it's much easier to put the true information or information close
to it out there, and then just discredited and just write it
off as fiction. That's how it's been working for years. So yeah,
you're absolutely right, John, the guy is no saviour. He's a
douchebag I'm sure like Damien Hirst, another douchebag. Did
you hear about that, but just to close, oh, Damien Hirst. Yeah.
So you know, Damien Hirst is this crazy artist who make stuff
like a stuffed calf with golden hooves and then sells it for $40
million. He had this exhibit in the UK, which I think was called
the shop. And it was basically a shop. It's like a, like a
convenience store. And that was his art exhibit. And some kid
who's also an artist stole a box of pencils from this shop. And
then he put it on the internet and said, Oh, you know, I've got
some art. I've got this fantastic piece of art. It's
this box of pencils. And Damien Hirst had him arrested. Because
he said the box of pencils was worth 250,000 pounds as a part
of his art exhibit.
It was just a box of pencils. Just a box of
pencils. Yeah. But it was in his art exhibit, and it was stolen.
So ergo, it was worth 250,000 pounds. And the authorities came
and arrested the kid he's in jail. actual jail.
Damien Hirst, hey, I got an idea. Go to the store, buy
another box of pencils and replace them.
So anyway, so there's all these crazy, crazy business models
just to bring it back. Ours is please help us donate some
money.
But let me mention some people who did help us. We got JC or
contributors for this week. Jason Baker at Lee's Summit,
Missouri. $60. Michael, we have a lot of interesting people from
all over the pledge
anymore. $31.14 that US boneheads couldn't figure out as
pie
Oh, yeah. A 31 314 was because it was everybody complained to
us about the $314 Thanks. Michael Sorenson $50 He's in
Helsing he HGL si n g Denmark and He's name is Soren Sen with
the oh that's got the line through it, which is not an O at
some other kind of weird character who isn't what is that
called? You know? To New. And then we got Melanie Hartness of
from Weyburn, Saskatchewan which brings our female listenership
up to $800. Thank
you very much. That's a double whammy right there.
It's a double Yeah, it counts as two. Geoffrey Leonard 6550, out
of Reston, Virginia. And since he's in Virginia Reston, you
know, it's got a lot of spooks in that area. I don't think
Jeffrey's one necessarily but he gave a 6550, which is code for
something.
Yeah, you know, please guys, and that little common field when
you donate, tell us what your what your code is, you know, we
might even we might not even read it on the air. But it's
still important to know what the code is.
But anyway, 6550 Which probably means get off the air and Dvorak
and curry. RJ you had to look it up in the CIA manual. R J.
Hegedus. In Spring, Texas, nice little town. 5432.
I've given up I've just given up on okay.
5432. We'll figure it out later. Ricky Pierce, Sydney, Australia.
$50. Jason Anderson Riverside. Nice little town. They got a
University California campus. They're $75 Which is good. Cody
Brown in Bowden Alberta. And I believe it's pronounced Bowden
Bo w d e n sounds right. Liana Riley, which I believe is email
now we have nine nine women John who is a shit about the money.
Let's just get more chicks on the show.
Willner Australia. She's down under
Shayla a Shayla from Diana,
Nick Rogers and Basingstoke, Hampshire. Which I think I've
been there. Daniel Boyd 6550. Again, Hello, again, that
number. And he's in Lexington, Kentucky. That's the second time
so if anybody goes election to make sure to go to the house
that houses the Kentucky Senator or they can I think it was a
Kentucky car. He was the I know for a fact that he was the
brother of one of the great senators Henry Clay. And his
name was cashes clay. And he had a he was a ambassador to Russia
for a while. And if you go to this house, you'll see a cut out
of a news article. Now cash is clear, you remember was Muhammad
Ali Ali's real name or initial name and they changed it when it
became a Muslim. In the caches clay house, there was a news
article from back in the 1800s discussing the famous potentate
from Ethiopia or something coming to visit cashes clay, and
his name was Muhammad Ali. Really, I get the sneaking
suspicion that Muhammad Ali himself being caches clay would
have visited this place if he had the opportunity and would
have seen that name and said I mean, and then it would have
stuck in his brain. And that's the name he picked. I just think
it's the weirdest coincidence. Anyway, got more caches clay
story, so
I think not.
John Altobelli from Seaside Park, New Jersey pay hr 50 bucks
hr
6550. That's that Water Act, I think where the United States
now owns all your water. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I think that's what
it is.
Right? Well, we need more 6550 donations to offset that. Yeah,
that'll help. And John Kelly of Charlotte, North Carolina 50.
And I think there's some from some carriers that kind of
crossed over like, I think I did them no Laurie corpi from
Helsinki and John Petrucci and Malcolm Blair. I mentioned them
again, because they got in the CUSP there and I get mixed up
easily. Anyway, I want to remind people to go to no agenda
show.com and click on the link and give us some some of your
hard earned cash if you think about is in terms of being
essentially 50 cents in the parking metre.
Dude, I went to the movies last night with Christina. We saw
Jennifer's Body which would you think short? Pretty good, right?
Yeah, that's pretty good. That was pretty good movie. 11 bucks
a ticket. I love it. And then you pay the $3 convenience fee
for booking online. So that's 25. And then we had a medium
Diet Coke. Of course, Christina knows there's aspartame, but she
doesn't like the calories and then a medium regular Coke and a
bag of Jay Leno popcorn. Another 15 bucks. So there's an evening
out to the movies. What's that? Well, there was a lesbian kiss
in the movie. I agree. Thank you. Thanks, Christina. That's
my daughter. It was well worth the price of admission. What am
I talking about? It was great.
Well, we can do some lesbian kissing on the show.
For 40 for 47 bucks.
47 bucks. You went out for that and we're doing this show and
we're asking for people to give us 50 or 100 or to subscribe
for a whole year worth of shows a year
which is is 100 and x 80. And I've calculated it last week,
but Christina
makes a really good point, John, if we had some more lesbian
kisses on the show, then then maybe we would get more money.
Yeah, well, we just need to do it. Well, you know, you don't
even have to do it. Just get a good sound effect would do the
trick. Look.
Megan Fox, oh my god, man. She was so hot. Oh,
that was I saw her on a talk show. What a dimwit.
It doesn't matter. I'll tell you.
I mean, it does it. Yeah. It doesn't matter. If you didn't if
she never opened your mouth,
it doesn't matter. It's something weird about going to
the movies with your daughter. And then there's this like, how
long was it like 30 seconds? Maybe? Like, if there's a 32nd
lesbian kiss, I'm like, oh my god, I can't I'm getting turned
on. I'm sitting here with my daughter. This is so frickin
wrong. This is wrong. This is so fucking wrong. But worth the
price of admission.
Divorce act.org/in A has all the different options on it. Please
go there and help us out this week. We got you know, this,
this has to keep coming in. I just got a Twitter from some guy
in Sweden. I should go back to that thing, find the page who
says why don't you do a show without begging for money? Okay,
and you know, the Swedish Swedish guy would think that
because there's a socialist country where they you know, get
to stuff you know, if we're doing the show there that just
give us money, right. But, you know, we have to be asked for
money because we're not going to be able to afford to do the
show. I mean, this is a lot this is time consuming. And it's not
you know, we're not just generous to generous guys giving
our time away.
No, I mean, why should we Why don't you go work for free sweet
go build a Volvo for free. Okay, give me a Volvo.
For nothing. Is a Volvo on will work will stop.
Yeah. Give me a Volvo and I'll stop begging for money. I
promise. So anyway,
no agenda show.com DeVore x.org/n. A and you'll continue
to get good material as good as we can do. Anyway. I think we're
producing good stuff.
Thursday, I'll be in New York. So we'll have to see what the
timing is. I'm actually flying back Thursday afternoon. Well,
to figure it out. We might actually well might have to do
the show Wednesday night. I don't know. We'll figure it out
Wednesday
night. We've done Wednesday night before. It's not like you
know, well. That's what by the way, Marcos just sent me a Skype
message saying that they call Megan Fox toe thumbs. Did you
notice that she had totems.
I was looking at other pieces of the anatomy. Sorry. Coming to
you from the loft under threat of real threat of eminent domain
removal in Gitmo nation, West's the minimum security containment
sell at San Francisco. I'm Adam curry
and monitoring the no agenda show.com site for help from the
producers out there. And I want to thank by the way to all the
producers who have sent this stuff in who sent stuff in they.
We use lots of it. So keep keep it up and keep doing the
research and we'll follow up. I'm John C. Dvorak.
We'll talk again on Thursday, probably, if not Wednesday
night. Keep your eye on the Twitter for more info. Right
here on no agenda.
