I'm an amusing typer Adam curry. John C. Dvorak
is March 28 2010. Time for your gizmo nation media assassination
episode 186. This is no agenda teabagging the coffee party from
the hilltop Watchtower crackpot command center, GIBBO nation
Western, the People's Republic of Southern California I am in
the morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry.
And the sun is shining again here in Northern Silicon Valley.
And I'm shining to John C. Dvorak.
In the morning to you, John,
and in the morning to everybody. It's nice to know that you're
shining. Yeah, I know. I need some makeup. John C. Dvorak. For
Twitter. I get no spam. divorce.org/blog.
When did you do that thing? I never did that. That's like a
podcast, a video podcast you did? Somebody else did it. Yeah.
No, except you appear in it in the show notes. No agenda
show.com. I just thought so funny.
So what do you got here for your top of the news item, I got some
good stuff.
I think before we hit top of the news, maybe we should talk about
our executive producers. And before we even do that, I'd like
to mention that I've been receiving emails throughout the
week, like I usually do from people sending ideas and links
and stories. And I noticed that another great thing people are
doing is they're putting their producer or executive executive
producer, Associate Executive producer credit into their email
signature.
Yeah, I noticed that too. That's a good idea.
It's great. Because you know, then, you know, just as you
email people around the globe, people are going to pick up on
it and either say, hey, what that's what's that about? Or,
hey, wow, you're an executive producer, or, Hey, in the
morning.
It's really it's a good idea, or all of the above?
Yes. Who do we have as our executive producer and our
Endor? Associate? John, our executive
producer is? David Ernie. Okay, who's been faithfully donating.
He's also at the top of the list and he also gets a knighthood by
the way, he's up to the past the limit. And he, he said he got
laid off before becoming a Founding Executive producer for
the stream and only two weeks later he got a job.
I'm telling you how to you know, I'd hate to say donate because
you'll get work. But the karma seems to be exactly that
golden age and no agenda works. He says jobs, jobs, jobs, that's
all donate for jobs,
jobs, jobs and jobs. Let's vote for John.
So he's the executive producer and, and then our associate, we
get three Associate Executive producers, including Charles
Walker, who, who was called out by his son his 15 year old son
forest last week, who called him out as a douchebag. She says Hi,
John. Inanimate donation is a token of my appreciation for the
show and to get my son Forrest who called me out as a douchebag
off my back the amount donated $240.10 is a buck for each
episode plus 5510 Oh nice. Which means we have to make sure he
gets on the list.
This is gonna go this is gonna go wrong because you know, I'm
sure that dad at the end of the day can afford more and he can
out douchebag his son and that'll be a never ending. He's
gonna crush his kid.
I'm also sending him a $5 a month donation for both forrest
and myself. Oh, that's, that's great. And then we have 200
bucks from a you're gonna have to pronounce this from
Eindhoven, Netherlands Juicy, juicy j o s t Yoast, Yoast.
shippin hain, which I think he's, he's
try it again. I like that it was close.
Can you pronounce it Yost super hang? Oh, yeah, that sounds
good. June tight. So
cool. From a
total for he's he's a regular. And then we have from Virginia
Beach. Another lease grievous. Gr YBOS. Elise, and this is a
good one. And I'm assuming Yeah, yeah. I'm a special education
teacher from Virginia Beach. And I love what you guys do.
Recently, my little brother called me out as a douchebag.
And I'd like to go on the record and say I'm not I love my little
brother know that. I'm donating his birthday money. Happy
birthday.
Hey, do you want to? We can actually, we could actually do
that. That's a really good idea.
The birthday thing? Yeah, let's
go so you thought you were getting a bike You thought you
were
getting this getting that that he's getting nothing get the
song is getting
the song at least grievous I do we know are brother's name.
Well that was from last week that I had to look it up so but
no not okay.
Well, at least three rows brother happy birthday from no
agenda my friend
so anyway, yes Jeff Smith he hits another one for us the
Jeff smith.com. Who next week? I think we'll have to become sir
Jeff.
Oh, yeah, I think so too. I mean, considering that you want
to do it this week, because we do have another night that will
bring up later. No, no, no, because I'm
sure that if here's how it works. If we do a knighthood for
Sir Jeff, he'll probably do a knighthood song for himself.
I mean, as opposed to you're getting the arms off the guys to
Nick but we
can do that too. I don't know. I just thought Jeff might come up
with something better.
You think he might think Da All right. What let's get to some
topics or where do you go?
I've got one more thing. Well, yeah, one more thing. We have an
official no agenda groupie. Oh, yeah. The Groupby Yes, we have
Chelsey from Edmonton, Alberta. And she sent us a picture which
will be in the show notes for this program at no agenda.
show.com She has many of the attributes necessary for a
groupie? If you know what I mean, and she says she'd be very
happy to send out pictures to help us get donations.
Well there you have it. I know that I saw pictures just kind of
rosy cheeked
oh yeah I yeah I'm looking at yeah now that I'm looking at her
face yeah.
Yeah, she might want to take no offense to Rosie cheek women out
there. But my wife went through this and in fact a friend of
mine had it and I pointed it out to her and she just thought it
was a complexion issue but but she had rosacea which is a fine
when you first get it because it makes her rosy cheek but it
becomes it's actually disfiguring the WC Fields knows
is a is an example
your cheeks do not look like WC Fields knows I'm just telling
you that if left unchecked if you happen to have rosacea you
get you end up getting disfigured by it. It's just a
problem.
You only the buzzkill John C. Dvorak can bring me down from a
groupies story. I mean,
should at least talk to a see make sure she doesn't have it's
not it's very treatable. It's not a big deal. And by the way,
a lot of women who have their first baby end up with it right
afterwards. It's very strange. ailment.
Yeah, well. What? This is a happy moment. We have a groupie
and
all happy goofy Okay, well, anyway, we appreciate having
more groupies that we would the fact that we have we've been
doing this show for three years and we have one group he says it
all
this is a good deal. Anyway, Charles Walker at least Gree
boss and of course David Ernie, our formula
is this. We go out we hit people in the mouth. Thank you very
much
for being the no agenda executive producers
it'll help you get work. You can put it in your email signature
on your resume and will vouch for you and we appreciate the
support knighthoods coming later in our knighthoods segment for
the show. John, you seem to be so jacked up. Why don't you just
go right ahead with your news.
There's a lot of bad stuff in the news. Let's just start with
something that I've been putting off because we for some reason
never get around to it now that you're gonna give me the
opening. I want you to play the clip. Let's see water on fire.
No, no one on fire I like to do but no green jobs.
Okay, just write up no setup. Just go straight
into it just play it.
The forecast says the California's unemployment rate
will not drop back to single digits for another year, fueled
by a growth in manufacturing agriculture and shipping and
warehousing. Notice something missing and BC barriers. Garvan
Thomas is here with what much hyped industry is not on that
list and who says it should be guarded. Tom Green technology is
not on the list, the author of the Andersen forecast here that
says there just doesn't seem to be enough demand for jobs like
solar panel installers or wind turbine workers to make a dent
in the state's unemployment rate. He says that all the hype
that green is going to drive the economy. Well. It's just not
true.
Yeah, da da.
Well here let's take it another level. Let me just read from a
this has been under reported in his but it's been floating
around for the last almost the last two months. We'll be right
here at nearly 2 billion that's with a B in money from the
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act tarp has been
spent on wind power, funding, the creation of enough New wind
farms to power 2.4 million homes over the past year. But the
study found that nearly 80% of that money has gone to foreign
manufacturers of wind turbines. According to our estimates,
about 6000 jobs have been created overseas and maybe a
couple of 100 have been created in the US. It's going to China,
it's going to Spain. It's going everywhere, but it's not going
to Americans at all. And this whole thing is a giant scam.
I think it's even I think it's even worse. John, I was hearing
about the tax credits for green manufacturing. And so
apparently, if you buy or materials that go into green
industry, no sales tax will be charged. And of course, you know
what, what is materials that go into green industry? Well, is it
like copper wire for wind turbines if it can be anything
and there's even an unclarity as to exactly what green
on clarity and clarity
be some high school it's unclear as to exactly what what goes
into green industry and so they're giving hundreds of
billions of taxpayers are hundreds of billions in tax
breaks, to stuff that we can't even define.
Iberdrola one of the world's largest operators renewable
energy worldwide is based in Spain has received the most US
stimulus money 575 or 77 million. It's a loan it by some
of its turbans from another Spanish manufacturer Gamesa,
which has a US connection Gamesa has two facilities and
manufactures turbine blades in Pennsylvania but the company
said the market force it to temporary layoff work 100
workers, so we have a negative input. The ABC News affiliate
down in San Diego went to one of the offices getting some of his
money that apparently nobody is bothered over check them out.
And they finally went to the mall where the office wasn't a
place was the American company. Right? So but of course empty no
office doesn't surprise you doesn't really no, of course
not. But it's not what you think somebody would mention it. Oh,
no,
of course not. Well, we're way too busy with Jesse James, Jesse
James. And Sandra Bullock. Hey, you know, I've noticed something
about that whole Jesse James Sandra Bullock thing I know,
it's total Real News. But there's something really
frightening going on about this. What? Over the weekend, I
watched a lot of CNN, Fox News, MSNBC and of course you have the
weekend crew on so it's all info babes. Some of which, by the
way, who have actual expression because they haven't been
through the Botox treatment yet. But all these women are sitting
there and of course they tease the story for 20 minutes coming
up news. Jesse James is another woman who's come Iran. Right.
And, and they finally get to the segment and then basically into
oh, here's a journalist and she's going to talk about you.
Whoa, yes, we found out there's yet another woman coming forward
about just your dreams. All right. And then they do they'll
catch together. And it's always the same thing. It's always I
would have beat him up with a baseball bat. Yeah, I would have
kicked his ass. It's really violent.
Oh, yeah. Yeah, you're right. I've had no I've did haven't. It
hasn't come to the top of my, my thinking. But you're right. I
think they've all done this. They've all had. In fact,
there's something going on that That's peculiar In all these
situations, including the mean spirited porn star who had the
affair with Tiger Woods. She's on every news show. And somebody
I think somebody pointed out, here's a woman who has, you
know, sex on camera. And she's, you know, her feelings are hurt.
Yeah. But it's like,
but it's very specific that women are outraged and so angry,
but they continuously talk about violence against these men. And
then you know, even Sandra Bullock Of course, she foolishly
when, when Tiger Woods the whole Tiger Woods thing came out,
which by the way, I think is planned. I'm thinking now, more
on that later. She said, Oh, Elan didn't do enough for the
golf club. I would have taken a baseball bat to his head as like
It's like Why are women if men talk like that, you know when a
woman cheats on a guy it's like ah you know crap right?
And gee, that's never happened.
Yeah and or I think the only time men really will get violent
is you know when the in divorce you know, like the witch the bit
shy, you know, it would be cheaper to shoot her. That's
probably what you might hear but when it comes to cheating you
never hear men say I beat her up. I take a baseball bat to her
head. Can you imagine the outrage can imagine the outrage
if that was on television if someone actually said that
but yeah, but the outrage but nobody seems to be outraged by
these these being
women doing it. Yeah. And Joy Bay heart. Oh my god. You know,
that's the that's the
joy. Wait a minute. giving yourself away. Yes, I actually
watched the joy Bay heart show
I well, I told you I got to see what the people are being
programmed with. So
give me crap about this stuff. All right. Hey, by the way, play
Earth Hour, we missed it.
That was actually very high on my list to talk about today on
March
27 8:30pm. millions around the world, we'll turn off their
lights for one whole hour all over the world. First hour, it's
time for America to lead on clean technologies and clean
jobs because we care about our planet and our country. Let the
world know you want action on climate change? Tune out for
Earth Hour. Simple. First, our March 27 8:30pm.
Yeah, I think we missed it last year to
8:30pm. Pacific Standard Eastern Standard Mexican time was
supposed
to be a 30. Everywhere you go. It's supposed to be like a
rolling a rolling. Rolling blackout. Yeah, exactly. It's a
rolling blackout. Of course. You know, it's interesting. Does the
White House turn off? I don't think so. You see
your security while you're at it.
I really, this it's a very weird thing. And it's almost as bad
as, as all this news about daylight savings time. You know,
the British are back. I think this happens every year, the
British can have this big fight in Parliament, saying you know,
we should move the clocks ahead. Two hours instead of one hour. I
think actually the
why? Yeah, let's be different. No,
seriously, like it'll it'll save billions of dollars in, in
global warming, reduction bit. And then Russia actually cut a
number of time zones. You know, they have 11 Time Zones in in
Russia, because the country is so vast, they've actually cut it
down to nine. They just took away I'm telling you somewhere.
This this test of time, there's something about it, and it
stinks. I don't trust that something these guys know
something we don't. There's something about stealing these
hours and changing it all around that we're just not clued into.
Well, I don't know. All I know is that died in term. I forgot
about this thing while I was gonna mention on Thursday show,
and then we missed it because I think today's the 20/28 day I
stood here. Did you look out the window, you have a view?
I have a perfect view of all I can see all the way down to the
oil to the to the ocean, actually. So I see all of
downtown Los Angeles. Well, John, if there was a flicker of
light, it would have been something like absolutely
nothing.
And you didn't see anything happened yesterday,
and the W still had their blue search lights going. Yeah, I was
like nothing turned off. You kidding me?
Look, Trump's up to this crap. I mean, we didn't actually we took
this so and seriously. Another wacky word, yes. That we didn't
even look into who's behind it. There's obviously someone's
behind it. You know, and then this commercial, by the way is
extremely annoying. I hate commercials where they go from
Kid to Kid to Kid to Kid to Kid to catch each way of saying
like, one half of a sentence about something as if there's
some sort of, you know, the whole thing just, it's fair,
it's, I don't like it.
No, I didn't look into it. I'm sure if we looked at the
website, I'm sure there's some huge PR company behind it for
some, some kind of meme some kind of mentioned to keep that
alive course. Oh, man. We could talk about that every single
week if we wanted to. Yes, thank God, we don't and what we're not
going to talk about because I think it's actually covering up
something much, much more interesting is Pope gate, which
no one has coined it that yet I don't understand why it's so
obvious Pope gate. Let's just say it right here first. Now
there's a Dutch. Dutch bishop has come out with reports of
abuse. This just doesn't stop. The Pope just can't seem to get
a break, as it were. But the real news, and I don't know if
this is covering it up or not. The Vatican Bank is under
investigation for a money laundering scheme to involving
one of Italy's largest banks. The the one transaction so far
identified is 180 million euro transaction. And this goes all
the way up to the top of the Vatican Bank. And of course, you
know, that's a lot of what what the Vatican is about is their
their banking, their banking system. Let's not forget that.
But there's actually a billion dollar insurance lawsuit now
against the Vatican a billion.
So really, yeah, 1.3
billion of bad debts. And so there's all these insurance
companies are jumping on board. A very interesting that, you
know, they turn up the heat on Pope gate when there's a billion
dollars at stake. I wonder if you know, it just makes you
wonder is one trying to cover up the other data? And let's just
throw a couple of these old geezers under the bus so no one
talks about the real shit that's going on. It's possible.
Yeah, absolutely. All right. We just got some plenty sending me
something. Sorry. So I guess that's it for today's show will
be. Thursday
was what I was waiting for, you know, agenda. There's something
else that happened that Saturday, as I was watching
through the through the Real News, Mickey was out working so
you know, Hollywood and Vine, and she's gonna come in here and
beat me with a baseball bat. Not sure she's in the gym. Listening
to the show. Something happened that is really bad. The youth of
America there's really really horrible stuff happening. Listen
to this, John, this report. This is really really bad that's
going on we can handle this. Oh, crap. I was as of United timing.
Yeah, YouTube is doing frickin pre rolls now. Since when did
that happen?
That started some time ago, you actually subscribe, you you you
can sign up what YouTube has done. They let you sign up for a
special program. If they if they can guarantee that your clip is
absolutely public domain or you own it. And then they put a pre
roll and you get a piece of the action you get like, I think you
can get as much as a buck or two every month. Yeah. All right,
here we go. And the
flash mob? Well, it's a group of people who use social networking
sites to create instant gatherings in public places. The
original idea was just for fun, but that has changed. CBS News
correspondent Manuel Vegas has more.
This was the scene as a flash mob suddenly took over South
Street in Philadelphia last Saturday night. 1000s of teens
converged in a gathering that turned violent. They were
fighting assaults including one on by the way. You see a couple
of kids like jumping around like Pogo dancing a police officer
and several arrests. It was the fifth rowdy flashmob fee in the
last year how to stop the stupidity. Cut it out.
That's the police commissioner. Listen to this. Listen to what
these guys have said she talked like this. Listen, listen to it
gets really good. Cut it out. We're not messing around the
flashmob phenomena.
Guy on the Family Guy Show the black guy
is that guy listen to it gets better, it gets better.
Seven years ago texts, tweets and Facebook are used to spread
the word about impromptu gatherings are sometimes
playful, even absurd. Like this mass pillow fight in San
Francisco, a snowball fight in DC the combination of technology
as an enabling and gathering developed by the
way is Larry magnet. CBS News technology analyst is like
Larry's a cool guy but he's 100 years old and he's trying to
explain flashmob the technology flash mob
life, and ultimately people coming together in the old
fashioned way to have a
good time. But lately flash mobs have become more aggressive in
Boston, New Jersey and especially in Philadelphia, were
victims of Saturday's assault mob police to take action to get
worse if they don't and I'm glad to have the conference. See what
happens. City officials are working with the FBI to track
future flash mobs warning parents to keep a closer eye on
their kids. You had them you raise them you take care of when
it comes to me I got something else for your kid that big
stairs and they kick it out. So this is very interesting to me.
Because first of all, I'm looking at these flash mobs and
I'm not really seeing you know, there's not like people are
overturning cars and setting shit on fire. It's a bunch of
actually a lot of girls, surprisingly, who are just flash
mobbing
and I are going out to dance but this but
what's interesting is this scares the authorities. They're
really afraid of this. This is what you're this they're like
freaking out and we're gonna get the FBI to track people and this
is going to become an illegal activity. And I say this is the
this is the ultimate civil disobedience because of course
not doing anything wrong by just flash mobbing we need a lot more
of this this freaks them out and we need a flash mob on the south
side and then the cops show up there we dispersed and boom we
go over to the north side. The east side the West Side freak
them out. I love this this is you watch John this is something
really big and kids with the minute you say going on for
years I know but not but now the cops are like freaking out
because the they're just doing it for no reason. You know other
than maybe they hate what's happening in their cities, their
towns and everything is closed and messed up and they're just
like boom flashmob I love this. We got
nothing else to do in a lot of places. We need more flashmob
cities after this United to just load themselves up with overpaid
bureaucrats some towns that went like went bankrupt like Vallejo
they had fire people a fire men and and just civil servants
getting 250 to $400,000 a year plus a full pension you know and
meanwhile they're just sucking the city dry because they went
broke and bankrupt but which is going to happen a lot of places
and then you know they don't have any community centers or
they don't have anything for kids to do anymore it's just
it's and there's no jobs for kids so they can't you know get
tired working all day. I mean it's just pathetic this
situation and then the schools aren't teaching them anything
there a bunch of you know, essentially just babysitting
centers it's ridiculous right and but
did you hear these cops like you your kids you don't keep them in
check. I got some farm I went I'm gonna kick their ass set up
sleeves today Yeah,
that guy should be fired on the spot it
was two different guys by the way. They should both be fired
Yeah, save Shut up.
It's not a job of the police have already threatening the
public
it's exactly what it is. It's exaggerating the
public I mean, why is it why is the police department
threatening the public because that's their job. There's crime
Go Go arrest somebody goes threat the public. Yeah.
Oh, yeah. No, but this is what it is slave Shut up slave slave
on a lighter note.
Let's talk about marijuana. Now we're going to talk about
marijuana i got a deconstruction on the marijuana thing that's
quite interesting but I got destroyed that floated through
you probably got it too. Because you have anything to sell these
crazy vaccines Oh sex linked to head cancer.
I know. This is great. So this of course is to sell is head
cancer. Its head and throat cancer. My head is my head. And
but notice this is Gardasil, so of course they have to come up
with a reason to sell this horrible vaccine, which has been
hurting young girls for HPV cervical cancer. So I guess the
way they're selling it now as well, if you perform oral sex on
a girl with cervical cancer, well, you gotta head cancer of
course, it makes total sense. And by the way, has not had
cancer and finger cancer risen recently, John, Well,
that'll be coming up next. They don't sell it with this. They're
gonna have to come up with something new. The tongue
cancer. Oh, my God. tongue cancer could be I'm looking
for the the actual report because these guys are serious
about it. I mean, they're actually serious the way the way
they report it.
This girl seems to be linked to cancers caused by the human
papilloma. papilloma virus. Scientists have been reporting
the British Medical Journal journal to vaccines server
Rick's and artists still can prevent HB P V, which causes
virtually all cases of cervical cancer. Really, the second most
common cancer in women. It's not true. By the way, that doesn't
sound right.
It's not it's all it's all a lie. It's an absolute lie. And
these guys are spending money like nobody else's business. I
got an email from Christopher, who is a political science major
at the University of Washington in Seattle. It's about a week
ago, one of the editors of the school paper wrote about how we
as a school had so few cases of swine flu and how it must have
been because everyone was so careful to wash their hands,
etc. Not not because disease was not really a big issue,
obviously. Anyway, he says I dismissed it until a few days
later when the paper ran a half page ad, which was masked as a
public service announcement for Gardasil. A says indeed, Merck
is actually financing the school paper financing it Wow, they're
buying ads in university newspapers, which is has always
been commercial. Yeah. Okay. So they're smart, they're out
they're like, Hey, we gotta sell this kid you're gonna get ahead
cancer.
They should jack up the rates for those guys.
They should refuse them this is
school paper editors and publishers jack up the rates
triplet. They don't know the difference. But this is
this whole thing with with vaccines as being pushed you
know, we've done a lot of research and anyone can do this
on their on the big pharmaceutical websites. You
don't you want to download the the CEOs presentation, which is
usually a PowerPoint. The best ones are when they present to
the financial industry. So it'll be like a PowerPoint for the JP
Morgan pharmaceutical conference. And throughout all
of them is like oh, you know, the next way for us to pipeline
is vaccines vaccines is what it's going to be all about. Then
you look at the health care bill, and you'll see that there
will be no CO payment for vaccines. Those will be 100%
insured our insured to the max you'll never have to put in a co
payment for that.
free shots for everybody.
Well Mikey actually sent something very interesting
member we talked on Thursday about this what was it called
the pig, the pig virus that was mixed in with here, here it is
the circovirus type two and type one yeah that was mixed up in
which vaccine was that mixed up in John
I don't remember was mixed up with some
well anyway Well listen to this so it was they put the they
pulled this product off the market because of this non non
or this virus pig virus that's not lethal to human beings. But
Mikey found on pubmed.gov A little announcement that a
vaccine against poor signs circovirus has been developed
and ready to go into trial. So the way I see it is maybe they
were trying to spread this poor signs, sort of circovirus
Yeah, this has been a theory we've had before when Baxter
dropped a bird flu of all things in a virus for some unknown
reason. Now it was a mistake. Yeah,
so they so they accidentally make this mistake again yet
right on the heels of it is a vaccine against this so called
the virus that is not not lethal to human beings. So
just so what do we know? What have we learned from this
exercise?
Well, here's, here's what I've got. What I've got is that the
whole X somebody
said the stream went dead. Check it.
Now, as far as I know, we're still up. Okay. I have a sound
bite. And this is this is a new meme coming in, John, that you
and I absolutely are. And this has to do with vaccines. So you
know, of course, there's a lot of you know, we went from anti
vaxxers To
you I have to do I have to find the meme.
It'll be pretty freakin apparent. This actually is from
Dr. Kiki science. Our Hello Dr. Kiki. Yes. Dr. Kiki and she was
interviewing Greg Poland. Greg Poland is from the he's at the
Vaccine Research Center at the Mayo Clinic turned
out that this pandemic h1 N one virus that we've just had two
waves of turned out to be a very lethal virus for pregnant women.
Oh, really? Where was that reported? John?
Played again. He's, well, this
is not the meme. But he said, listen to what he says it
turned out that this pandemic h1 in one virus that we've just had
two waves of two waves have turned out to be a very lethal
virus for pregnant women.
Real really,
I didn't hear that a very lethal virus for pregnant women. And
notice how he talks about the two waves. The two waves Yeah,
that way they can they get that that kind of thinking in the
public mind. Because there's two there could be three.
And as you know, it's always the third wave of the tsunami, the
one that is the one that really kills it's the Lucky Three. So
keep listening as as he starts to lay out his true agenda.
And in fact, the military, the Department of Defense and the
NIH, are looking or developing a program where they would either
come up with antibodies or convalescent serum from people
who other people have been infected and recovered and now
have really high antibody titers of it and use that as a
potential treatment for people who were at severe risk of dying
of that infection.
This sounds like a science fiction story
is the lead researcher for vaccines from the Mayo Clinic,
one of the most prestigious clinics in the world. It
continues pregnant women
might be one group of those individuals. Yeah. And if they
do that research, is that something?
The Navy, right, the Navy, here's where it comes.
Interestingly enough, we had a teleconference about this
yesterday, listen to the teleconference because I'm
really interestingly enough, it's interesting, you bring that
up,
and this is ongoing work that the Navy is funding and the NIH.
That's glad somebody's working on it. Yes, thank you, Dr. Kiki,
and, you know, of course, the whole the whole eircom Oh, the
thing that causes me to gnash my teeth and causes me a lot of
anxiousness is that we develop these vaccines in in higher and
higher technologic ways that are hard to communicate to the
public.
Ah, hey, you stupid slave. You wouldn't see say, listen,
listen, you are you know, this is how A science is high
technology, science, it's very difficult to communicate this to
the public. Idiots you need to shut up and shut down slay,
right?
So the more high tech it is, and the more science fictiony that
it sounds, the more science fiction it is
skip logic II sounds better,
the harder it is to communicate to the public. And the more
suspicion they have. Yeah, really?
You wonder why
as to the safety of that vaccine, and the more problem we
have getting them to take that vaccine. So here's where the
intersection of psychology and human behavior dramatically
impacts the science and the health of the public.
Okay, here it comes. Here's where we all go wrong, John.
And also fear about the military funding research projects.
Sure. The military the government
10s of conspiracy theories that will come out of raising my hand
Hello, Dr. Kiki, I'm raising my hand um, the conspiracy theory
over here.
We hear these all the time, including some that are really
outrageous. I mean, there was a theory floating around that the
government was pushing
his throat listen to is there a sign that he just guys just
about to lie? Oh, really? No. cleared his throat just before
he said this
thing around that.
The government Oh, good catch. Okay, but listen to what he says
was putting something in certain lots of vaccines, and somehow
funneling these only to members of minority communities to
either make them sick or to decrease fertility rates.
Had you heard that? No, Neither would I.
Again, spiritually, guys, come on. I never made this up. I
never heard that.
You will kill Black people. No,
this is this is crazy, crazy thinking. And but how do you
combat that sort of thinking in an interesting book has been
written about. Here's the plug this general concept of sort of
risk and statistical literacy. And it's called in numeracy.
Haha. So it turns numeracy. So it turns out that a lot of the
public are innumerous.
Frog crab, hey innumerate. I can barely pronounce it myself. That
was the thing this guy's thinking.
A numeral innumerate summa cum laude. This is unbelievable.
These people are insurance.
John you innumerate Swat. Well, I
thought denialists Well, at least they had some legs. So
I like innumerate. That's much better. Which means, which means
that you can't calculate risk based upon numbers. That's what
it means. Right? And numerous. I
don't know what it means. Beats me.
You want to hear him explain it? No, I
don't care. I think he's an idiot. I've lost all respect for
the man of course. And for the Mayo Clinic in general. This is
an outrage and outrage I tell you. Anyway, so So does that
offset my
watching? About like viruses for smoking and things that these
other have? I'm sorry, vaccines for smoking. This is like, oh,
yeah, this guy's people aren't just it's just about this sort
of thing. Oh, yeah, of course. Virus I'm sorry. Did you say
virus bugs? Well, maybe virus constable vaccine. But anyway,
what is there to cure? It's bullshit. And what is the what
is the the what's the what? What dead bacteria or attenuated
viruses are in the vaccine that stops you from smoking? Oh,
wait, I'm an innumerate. What would I know?
He's his main research actually is an anthrax vaccine. Yeah. But
Anthrax is not a virus. It's not like something you pick up is
something you get infected with. Just for it. Yeah. So yeah, it's
like that's not that's not really a vaccine. That's when I
think it is. Oh, it is. Yeah.
I like this. I like to the phobia vaccine best, though. You
know what they'll have they'll have an anti innumerate vaccine.
Well, good luck with that. All you enumerates lined up here. I
guess only the people in the North will be able to pronounce
the word. Five. Sorry, everybody. I didn't mean to say
that.
Have you been reading more of your family of secrets book?
Yeah, you know, it kind of Craps out. I would recommend people
reading the first five chapters and then you get you're kind of
lit up but when you get to it near the end, it's just kind of
just dawdles.
The thing that that that hit me and I'm I'm about where you were
on Thursday I'm about halfway through and and it's ongoing
throughout the entire book and it didn't really hit me the the
irony of it of course, we know that we were in Afghanistan and
we're there for the, for the, for the poppies for the heroin,
not just to to eradicate it. No.
Did you see the photos that are coming out now showing the
troops?
They invaded Marcia, and they and they actually took the crops
they harvested it and took it back into the helicopters. I
know a picture in the show notes.
Yeah. And then nobody seems to think twice about this.
It's like they have our own soldiers have big bushels of
poppies on their back. They've harvested the poppies that
actually showing pictures of them putting it on the aircraft.
I was stupid gonna get but the thing that hit me in the book is
what is George H. Walker Bush's nickname? Poppy Poppy bush. It's
so obvious. Why do you think that and it's P O P P? Why?
Yeah, like Poppy bush. It's the it's the biggest joke ever,
everywhere. And of course, we're not on the inside circle. So we
don't get it because we're innumerate but now we understand
you know, these guys are part of the bush Clinton crime
syndicate. And they call it they call the the Grand Poobah they
call the dawn the copy to to to copy they call him Poppy Bush
because he's the man behind all of the heroin is amazing.
You know, I'd recommend the book to everybody. I'll put another
link it's laughable. It really is and all the good it does for
us to discuss this stuff. So anyway, let's talk about some
other some other things okay. Let's take a look at my clips
here a couple of things we did the earth our Oh yeah, there's
this this this thing called fracturing or fracking you know
some of the hydraulic fracturing and is resulting in a bunch of
interesting this was done by the frontline crowd and play it you
actually got to spell a YERON era Yeah, play that
is so weird. I mean, it's the weirdest thing you'll ever
experience you know at first it's like a pyromaniacs kind of
dream.
So they've there's if you look up steel water on fire or
lighting water I think lighting water on fire in google it this
is not like a million hits. But you get hits from all over the
place Alberta. I got one from Alberta, Canada, all over
Colorado. Apparently in Pennsylvania, there's a and what
happens is that they're extracting all this these small
oil companies are extracting natural gas by pumping a bunch
of water and other crap into the ground and then just punching it
in there and it can it can it fractures, the the sub elements
are whatever the rocks are down there at 1000 feet at causing a
minor earthquake I might mention. And then all this
natural gas comes up but apparently has been mixing in
with the water table. And so people regard opening their
faucets and the next thing you know, it's it's on fire. It's on
fire. So let's play the clip
on the 11 year old boys in that town knew they could do it
before their parents knew. And
this is like when I was a kid we used to like go into the closet
and snap the lifesaver to make a spark kids these days they get
the light there faucet on fires.
You know saw that because this phenomenon of being able to
lecture water on fire in a gas drilling area is fairly common.
It's common it's yes, it was reported in Demmick was reported
Wyoming's reported candidate plus when it's coming in out of
your tap is full of benzene it's unrefined it has carcinogenic
chemicals in it.
Here's the thing though Josh Fox didn't know if there was
something profoundly wrong with the whole system of drilling for
natural gas. And just last week the government announced it will
conduct the first nationwide scientific study to determine
once and for all if the process used is contaminating people's
water. There's a difference between the occasional mistake
being done for when you're looking for underground Yeah.
Here's a couple of points that come out as your show watch this
one where's the EPA? I thought the
fluoride was bad blows up in your face drinking straight up
frenzy it's okay if I smoke near the swimming pool or
so so that where's the EPA now that this report says that these
guys these natural gas drillers and by the way there's no big
companies it seems it's all a bunch of little guys so any one
of them that they absolutely if they poison them all the water
and you know vanilla entire State of Colorado which is
possible. They they just go bankrupt That's fine. It's too
bad by and but meanwhile the EPA apparently has been pushed away
from this because some legislative tasks and we'll find
out who they are, by the way, we'll look into this have made
it so natural gas drillers are exempt from clean water some
some there's some law that did that. You can't mess with the
water supply. And these guys have been exempt from it. And so
the EPA because there's a million other possible things to
go after, but the EPA has been supposedly they can't go after
these guys because of that, which I found to be somewhat
bogus because of EPA. They can go
after anything they want. Thank God for anything they want.
Power, they have capes and stuff like that a little song for you.
Little Smoke on the Water, everybody.
That's where that song came from. So anyway, so I have a
second clip. Let's play that and then we'll talk about this
little more
looking for underground natural gas or if there's a systematic
problem with the process and let's talk about that process.
It's called hydraulic hydraulic fractures like a cool nickname
fracking well
fracking Yeah. Oh boy, I
can feel this one coming fracking is history what the
frack are you
doing directly a method of last resort so desperation technique,
when your gas while your oil was running out, and it no longer
free flowing, you go in and fracking and flush it with water
try to break apart the formation a lot of water. Well, in this
case, a lot of work in traditional fracking is this
method of last resort. So as we run out of these things, you
know, the last resort becomes the primary objective. Let's
take a look at the graphic from your phone. It blasts a mix of
water and chemicals 8000 feet into the ground. And fracking
itself is like a mini earthquake. The intense pressure
breaks apart to rock and frees up the gas. In order to frack
you need some fracking fluid, a mix of over?
Come on this humor there in order.
But here's here's the problem I'm having with this whole
report. Besides the fact that I'm sure this is causing
problems. A shear with these chemicals, I say subjects 500
different chemicals. What what's the point of putting chemicals
in his water that you're pumping into the ground? It makes no
sense at all. And they never explained the rationale. They
never talked to anybody in the industry about causing
mini earthquake. Hello, hello,
that chemical what chemicals are these? And why are they being
used at all because fracking used to be just a water
phenomenon. Now, the second thing is why is this being
investigated? Now all of a sudden? Well, I think it's
because of Charles Schumer, because it seems as if they want
to start doing this kind of extraction of natural gas, which
apparently our country is just filled with, we're filled with
hot gas. And so they're gonna start doing it in New York and
New York has one of the biggest aquifers providing really
outstanding water, unfiltered water in the country. They say
in New York is beat this delicious is it in New York City
it all they have to do is start it up there and ruin the
waterfront, all of Manhattan and the boroughs. And the night. And
this would be a disaster for all the politicians. So Schumer is
going to put a stop to it. Because he knows he's going to
be an every other New York politician is going to be ousted
if they contaminate the New York water supply, which is quite
likely if you listen to this report. But anyway, this is
going on, you know, extremely underreported the guy that what
they do is they come into a little community, they think
there's not enough natural gas. And they essentially leased the
mineral rights from all the all the people that live there at
about $5,000 an acre. And so if you have 10 acres, you they give
you a check from scratch a check for 50 grand. And the next thing
you know your water is on fire.
So why all of a sudden Yeah, so where this has clearly been done
for a while. And by the way, I'm one of the appeals of the
hilltop watchtowers. It has a complete water filtration system
with a reverse osmosis. I've got all kinds of tanks and stuff
that it goes through. So the water I have in my house, as
even the water that comes out of the shower is is completely
purified. And I am so happy because it's bad stuff.
But the point is, it shouldn't be that way. There's no reason
we can't have clean fresh water, especially in California where
we have these mountain ranges that you know pretty much filter
the water for us. And but the only reason we have contaminated
waters because of either pollution, or pesticides, I mean
all these other things that you know, just abuse and now this
fracking BS, which is going to kill us all. So I left my report
for the day.
I love the name though that while you were hacking 10
points, yes, fracking. I love that. You need some fracking
fluid to frack properly my friend.
Hey, man, I got another clip for this guy that you might be
interested in because you left San Francisco in a huff. Yeah.
Oh.
I know what I know. I saw this on the news this morning. Yeah,
I think the town's things because they're bringing in
under the guise Have a bus station that going to create the
largest shopping promenade in South of Market which will be
encompass, I think 10 city blocks and under eminent domain.
Some of the most beautiful oldest buildings in that area
are being torn down for a city that has no money for a state
that is broke. And I think you're probably going to talk
about New York.
No, actually, I'm going to play the SF foodie event just to kind
of just to reiterate the kind of the basic problems we have in
this area with but you know, they they always kind of thought
of as a foodie thing. And so they're gonna have this event
called, I don't know, some sort of competition. People would
compete and you get to go to see and you'd listen to these
dingbats talk about this. And then the punchline of course, is
right at the end when they tell you what they're actually going
to be competing about what they've competed about. And I'm
just playing this for you for the purposes of making you feel
better about the fact that you think San Francisco stupid.
Yeah,
that's right. This new event is taking over the Bay Area's
over. It's taking over. It's taking over this is it's a
bonanza. It's fracking everything.
This new event is taking over the Bay Area's foodie
underground.
I don't want to interrupt it. It sounds so good.
We're both home and seasoned professional chefs compete for
the title of San Francisco Food Wars champion. And joining us in
the studio is SF Food Wars create what is
this from by the way what find a news institution. PBS of course
national treasure
here and founder Jeanne che, along with our own Bay Area
bites blogger Stephanie Rosenbaum, who's cooking baking
skills were put to the test in the Food Wars latest
competition. Oh
my god, you can just hear the prompter rolling too slowly for
her. And those cookie baking V Dave ever put to the test? Who
wrote this?
Now Jeanne, how did you get the Food Wars concept off the
ground? This is the sixth the bank account.
This is like this is high school. This is like a high
school television station.
This Exactly. This woman who comes to this Chinese girl who
had who sounds like a valley girl from LA definitely or Oh,
wow. Okay. This was
six now. So basically, San Francisco is such a wonder
basically surfaces,
you know, the sand the valley is San Francisco is filled with
women like this. And they all indeed speak the same way. And
when they're in venture capital, you just want to bitch slap
them? Well, you know, it's, it's pretty good. Because, you know,
these guys are really going some places, it's really, really hard
to grow a company, and we've been bought, and we invested all
this money in them. And And this, of course, was about
juiced. And so they're really going to be fantastic is gonna
be television, on the internet, television, you know, piece
today,
for sitting for food in general.
It's the same in general, I don't know, they always end each
sentence the same way, we have to emphasize what we're saying
by talking about
the events, they tend to either be free and way too accessible
or accessible, or really exclusive, and not accessible.
And this was our opportunity to do something for everyone with a
really accessible price. And what is the price 10 to $14. And
our proceeds benefit the SF Food Bank, which is really awesome.
Really, really awesome. Yeah. So what were some of the earlier
events this one was obviously cookies, and you're talking
about it, but what were some of the earlier events that you did,
we have had a mac and cheese battle mini cupcakes, holiday
sides, artists and bread, chocolate cookies, and then
coming up we'll be amused brunch, brunch, and brunch.
So you're paying $14 To eat all the mac and cheese,
mac and cheese you can eat ladies and gentlemen.
It's a mac and cheese got the dish and this is the thing going
to foodies in San Francisco mac and cheese competition. It was
like why or what is wrong with you people? Well, this mac and
cheese, chocolate, chocolate cookies.
It's actually really interesting.
But you get all the chocolate cookies you can eat.
I was reading up don't forget to pay for your parking. We don't
validate. I was reading The Los Angeles Times yesterday. And
there's a huge debate going on, certainly across California. As
all the PBS stations that deliver fine programming such as
you've just heard, they're all in their pledge drives and
everyone and there's argument and there's closed committee
closed door committee meetings about what the programming
should be. And people are dropping their subscriptions
left and right and they and they they think it sucks. They're
really just outraged by the bullshit programming it To make
it worse on many of the PBS stations, radio and television,
guess it would be NPR for a lot of the radio. They're dropping
local programming for the BBC. Yeah. For the for the malarious
controlled BBC for the state media from Gitmo, nation East.
And people are up in arms and I and I'm reading this I'm going
like oh my god, we are so doing the right thing. We are so on
the right track because here we are exposing the BS that a lot
of people have been paying listen to the show have been
paying for for years. They've been donating to these idiots
with their $14 Mac and cheese contest. Send $14 to no agenda,
I guarantee you you'll get better better bang for your
buck. Better freak for your frak,
better karma that's for sure. While we're on it, why
don't we talk about some of the people who have been supporting
the show John was we're a little past our our our mark here.
Let's go over some people that said some money into no agenda
show.com divorce.org/in a divorce.org/nas or channel
divorce act.com/and. A and we have a night? Yes, we do. Which
is a bit Ernie. David Ernie, you want to start by giving him his
send off?
It's not a send off. It's actually it's it's actually a
kind of like a good thing, John. All right, David, Bernie please
meal before us as we have evaluated on telly and proudly
night you serve. David, please join the Knights of the no
agenda round table and participate in our hookers and
blow and thank you very much for the support. highly appreciated
Sir David and by the way. I've actually I asked Eric to make up
a list because when because our knives don't just drop off the
edge of the world you know, after they've donated they
continue to donate they continue to participate they help us with
with items on the show. For instance, I actually made a
mistake on the artwork last week which was Paul tea Of course now
it should be Sir Paul, we have to be addressing our knights
properly. So Sir David, welcome to the the Knights of the no
agenda roundtable.
So we have 9999 Again, from podcast for peace.com which we
have a lot of 5510s and $50 donation we got Derek a winky wa
N ke I think this sounds right. He
actually is a sysadmin. And and of course being a sysadmin he
says I have to be a minute, man. Please don't make me feel like a
douchebag and add me to the list. What does that mean? The
douchebag list I guess, George?
Here's here's one from catch. Hold roll. Netherlands. How's
that?
Let's try that again. Console for carts. Carts. carts,
Whoville
perfect. And that's George DER HORST.
Is it dare you expect to be tear
with a tea that's what it came in at from the hotel?
50 bucks. Thank you so much, George from console for
Ronald whities to Lena. Mont Montana. Ryan Lee, Ashland,
Kentucky it's interesting. Do you iDASH help.com With that's a
knighthood layaway. And Barry Wilson's also also we have
Lawrence Reich, who has been contributing consistently and he
has a little note here which says he's doing his own radio
looking now. I'm looking at the note from Roy like, he's just
busy doing his own night thing. So it's OKC tactics, Inc. And
that's it for this week. We get a lot of dollar donations.
We did get one interesting $5 donation from Iceland seven. Who
I think it's the guy who came up with the dazzling.com and he
said, which we thought was a brilliant idea. And he sent us
His our commission as the result of selling to home vajazzle In
kits jazlyn.com And I was thinking you know this dazzling
this actually could be could be a pretty evil thing. What if
they put RFID chips in those in them crystals? Yeah, be careful.
You could have a trackable vajayjay this one this may not
be a good thing. Anyway, that's it, John. Yeah, that is Yeah,
we didn't have a big week. We need people out there to step up
a little bit.
Well, certainly now that you know that that piece PBS the
national treasure along with NPR are completely falling apart.
They're they're just purchasing. It's crazy. They're buying
programming from the BBC to put on your airwaves to put on your
airwaves. And by the way, whenever you know there's a PBS
office in town drive by, take a look at those offices. Tell me
what you think how they look and see what kind of cars are parked
out front? You'd be surprised, I bet.
Yeah, some of those places you get some serious money and
divorce act.org/in, a channel divorce act.com/na. And of
course, so you can always find everything, including the show
notes and no agenda show.com. Now we are we probably are going
to wait another two weeks, maybe three until we start sending out
our show notes emails because we've had signups but not what
we think is, is where yeah,
probably in about two weeks, we're gonna, the link will be to
the sign up, as opposed to just a million links. Because our
link we have, we have way too much good material that we
collect for the listeners. I mean, it's unbelievable. So I
haven't even sent you my list of links for today's show and I
have a whole bunch of them for this. This crazy, you know,
sending all this money to China to do our our green stuff. It's
all develop local stories develop never went national
notes notice not a scandal. I'm not hearing Katie Couric talk
about it. No,
I'm bored, please. They're all basically on board. And what we
do is we deconstruct it all for you. And we we bring it so the
show notes, I think is is a whole product by itself. It's a
whole initiative that can stand by itself. So at the bottom of
the show notes have no agenda show.com Of course, we cross
posts on currie.com and dvorak.org/blog You'll find a
rather large box. Yeah, it's hard to miss. And you just enter
your email. Actually, it is pretty good system John, it
works well I tested it out, you enter your email address, you
get a confirmation. So all that stuff works the way you know,
like almost professional.
It is professional. Yeah,
that's my point. Almost professional. And and, and then
we'll be adding you to our free show notes mailing list. So we
can also put some other stuff in there like the to to the head
story that I have for you today.
Do you want to do that? And now or do you want me to do my
deconstruction of a very interesting piece that I ran
into on Fox of all places? Go ahead. All right. Well, this is
a deconstruction of a story that ran on Fox with Geraldo. And it
is part of the scheme underfoot to kill marijuana bill in
California. And the reason I want to do that, of course, is
because if mil if California legalizes marijuana, then every
other state that has medical marijuana is going to have to do
the same thing and it's going to be kind of a nightmare for the
other states because you know, these people come to California
and buy some Whedon drive back to Utah and smoke it with Pelosi
this kid gets it started with Pelosi scared Yeah, I saw that.
So I broke up broken up into four pieces and I want to
discuss them I'm going to tell you how this one works. Because
this one is an absolute gem of propaganda start with the in
order with marijuana one,
why on earth would we want to add yet another mind altering
substance to the array of legal substances that compromise a
person's five senses where we know they're going to make bad
decisions? Some
because it's good for you and it makes you feel lovely criminal.
It's official a measure to legalize marijuana and allow it
to be sold and taxed will be on the back. Okay, it ends there.
Yeah. So it's now
started off with this guy from the Narcotics Officers
Association with that little blurb at the beginning, talking
about the evils of marijuana, and it was never intro to
anything in the right to Geraldo, who started talking
about dentistry about this field survey that a year ago 55% of
Californians wanted to legalize. It
was 2006 it was like, like three.
But the point is, at some point in the past, it was always a
good idea. Yeah, right now we're gonna watch that number decline
because of these kinds of these kinds of things going on. He
then went to interview the guy who got the initiative put on
the ballot, and instead of talking about, you know, any of
the good reasons that should be on the ballot, even though the
guy did talk about which we'll hear later about the tax
benefits, he actually made a point to say how did you we
heard that you spent a million dollars yeah, to get all the
signatures on Okay, so the guy says, Yeah, we spent a million
dollars okay, playing marijuana too.
Are you feeling now you know, the opposition will build
however, they felt about it a year ago, that was before a year
of some pretty seedy experience with pot shops opening close to
schools, and you know, some rowdiness outside. I mean, you
Oh, maybe the Bloom is off the bud.
Yeah, hold on a second, John. Here's a rowdy pothead. Hey,
dude. Really rowdy? Right. So
So Geraldo manages to make his snide comments about rowdiness,
and the Bloom is off the bud. Hello. Oh, nice. And the guys,
you know, drops all the, you know the information about the
taxes and
the guy from Oaksterdam. Right. He's the kind of
play number three.
I think that's been overblown. Most people see that the sky
hasn't fallen, that actually cannabis has been widely
available in California for a number of years here. And we
don't see any increase in traffic accidents or problems.
So by I think the opposite is true. The all the problems are
really just played up by the opposition. And Richard, how
much tax revenue Do you anticipate realistically the
state of California, which I think is around $20 billion in
the red or more can can hope to achieve from this measure if it
passes? Well, the board of the California Board of Equalization
estimates one and a half billion dollars and
who's the California Board of Equalization? Is that like a
good outfit?
The California Board of Equalization they collect money
from you.
Oh, so they're they're estimating a billion dollars a
billion. Yeah. In what taxes? Yeah. Jesus Great.
Well, the billion correct in exit, just just excise taxes.
Then there's also the savings to law enforcement. They estimate
about a billion dollars there. Plus there's other indirect
benefits like other payroll taxes, jobs created and other
businesses that
chocolate brownies, he went to the foodie fair.
He threw that little joke in at the end that kind of, you know,
the play disguise positive thoughts. So then he brings in
this this horrible person?
My daughter, no, she existed.
I didn't either. She's apparently a prosecutor. She is
claimed to be a liberal Democrat, and she's a liberal
Democrat. I think the Democrats have got a lot of problems.
extremely creepy.
Well, da, the Apple fallen,
by the way, herself for coming on the show like this, but play
it.
Christine Pelosi, the daughter of the first female speaker of
the house. How do you feel you're a Democrat, you're a
liberal lady feel about this measure?
Well, as a former prosecutor, I think that I'm very skeptical
about it. I support medicinal marijuana. I think that that
should happen at the federal level. But it concerns me that
you got a mind altering drug you don't know the public safety
implications of it. It's unlike Chantix, one thing to say you
should have a drug that's prescribed by a doctor and used
under appropriate conditions. It's another thing to say, go
out to a to a bar and and get and get get drunk. I get behind
the wheel, which you know, people are going to do so I'm
concerned about public safety. Also, just looking at the
numbers, I think that the the profit rate would be high
because it's illegal. I don't know how legalizing it affects
the price. I imagine that when something's legal, the price
goes down. So
I'm very skeptical. Now she's an economist
on board, I'd have to get a public safety analysis from law
enforcement officials who are actually on the street on the
beat for sure. For sure.
Man, sorry, we've gotta go. You have the last word, screw the
pothead.
All right, now here's the deal. Now this is a trick that if
anyone's gone to a lot of motivational speakers, listen to
a lot of motivational speakers of various events, you will have
run into this trick a number of times and this is kind of what
they did here. The trick is as follows and then this is a kind
of a preconditioning you precondition your audience to
think one way or the other. And these guys love to do this
trick. I've seen it twice. You divide the audience into two
groups A and B. Say well you got two other people in a and two
other people and B and people a your show a picture of a rabbit
and and and pig and group B A show a picture of an old lady.
And then to the entire group you flash in image one of those
crazy images to look like a duck or a hat or an old woman or you
know these crates, it's a drawing a plot you can interpret
in two or three different ways. You flashed a crazy picture up
there. And then you ask people what they saw. The group A will
have seen the rabbit in the drawing and group B will have
seen the old lady. Now this particular bit that they did
with us here was they preconditioned us with the cop
at the beginning. They didn't have to have a copy with all
that negative stuff at the beginning of saying what he
thought we didn't even know who this guy was. He wasn't even
introduced to us, but they just preconditioners with this stupid
copy to me. If you'd put somebody at the beginning. It's
rousing the tax benefits or put somebody at the beginning that
says it's a better drug than alcohol, or put anything at the
beginning that would have preconditioned the audience or
wherever you wanted or however you wanted them to think. So
they precondition the audience and they throw all the stuff out
and they try to demean the guy who spent had to spend to be had
to spend a million dollars to get the thing pass. Then they
bring out this Pelosi creep, who comes out says, Well, I'd have
to see what law enforcement the guys on the street are thinking.
And then they kill the whole debate. Meanwhile, because
you've already seen what the guy in the streets thinking because
he was at the beginning of the show. So this whole thing was
part of a giant scheme using the cheapest creepiest trick
imaginable to preconditioned the audience to think negatively
toward this bill. Borax
well deserves and well deconstructed my friend.
Absolutely. Well, let me just say a couple things. So this is
indeed a huge and I'm not quite sure why, why anyone would be
against this. Because the science is in on on pot. But
they clearly are. And we've seen on Thursday, we reported in the
past couple of weeks in California in one California
hospitals, six teams coming in whacked out of their head,
psychotic, some not even getting out of their trip being sent to
psych wards nos, like, what does it stand for? Again? Like no,
basically, they don't know just very frickin psychotic can help
you a report that came out on Friday is this synthetic dope
que tu also known as spice, and I'm really worried about this
stuff. It's made in Asia, apparently. And you can buy it
online, or in some stores. And it's, this may be a free this is
maybe the stuff that these kids are smoking. So we have to
figure out where this is coming from and, and doesn't seem like
if it's synthetic, it's probably not a good idea. Dope. So
talking about causing traffic accidents, first of all, it used
to be, you'd never hear of a pothead, you know, grabbing a
gun killing his entire family going on a rampage, because you
know, all we want is Cheetos. And if anything, the traffic
camera light, the traffic light cameras in California have
caused more traffic accidents than potheads, the stupid
traffic lights they've got. And I myself and anyone who has
smoked pot knows that you can actually pull yourself out of
the high. It's not that hard to do. I flown my helicopter under
supervision with an instructor who knew what I was doing. And I
flew it perfectly while I was completely hammered. I'm not
saying it's a good idea, but I'm just saying it can be done. So
there's a lot of stuff that we haven't looked at. And in
general, it calms people down. It's they don't call it the holy
herb for nothing. And look at all the money we could be making
in this broke state aid guys, you could build tons of shopping
centers, you could throw lots of people out of their homes. You
know, I'm sorry.
Well, you know, they've been Pelosi mentioned that, you know,
they are they mentioned or they actually the guy mentioned that
he could save a billion dollars in law enforcement. And that
means law enforcement who would you know, that would normally be
covered, you know, just busting kids or smoking dope, or could
be out of a job or maybe they'd have to actually go find some
real criminals.
And if you look at our prison system, our commercial prisms,
prison system, I believe the majority of these prisons are
filled with black people for marijuana crimes.
There's too many people in jail. It's costing us $40,000 a year
per person to keep some pothead in jail because somebody thinks
it's a good idea to keep potheads in jail so they can use
them for slave labor is bogus. I mean, this this but this kind of
relentless kind of subtle propagate relentless and subtle
propagandizing like this particular episode that
everybody at Fox and specifically Geraldo with his
snide comments about brownies and chocolate. You know, it's so
funny, be ashamed of themselves ashamed of themselves. And this
is what you get, ladies and gentlemen, for listening to Fox,
which is supposed to be this big right wing network that you
know, fair and balanced and the rest of it. It's bogus. It's
just the same propaganda machine that everybody else is running
and we want
you to take our drugs, we don't want you to take drugs that you
can grow in your backyard for free. No, we want you to take
our drugs such as this email that came in from our listener
producer Andrew, aka the hottie with a crippled body. Adam
listening to the live show right now this is on Thursday. Feel
free to share this on the show. I have cerebral palsy and I had
surgery back into 2006 They gave me Lyrica. This is the stuff
that we played the commercial for on the last show. They gave
me Lyrica for nerve damage for over a year after coming off the
drug. I developed memory loss, anxiety and panic disorder, and
agoraphobia, still trying to get a case together against the
makers of Lyrica already had one neurologist told me Lyrica is
likely to be a cause of many problems I've had. So just a
word of advice to fellow listeners to run away from
Lyrica Shan takes another drug, the stop smoking drug that we've
talked about, completely freaks people out and makes them
completely crazy. The only way to stop the craziness to start
smoking again. And then you've got these Deke wads like Pfizer
who just been ordered to pay $142 million in damages for
marketing. GABA Penn was at gabapentin, anti seizure drug
that they fraudulently more marketing, you've got people
telling you, you're gonna get head cancer if you perform
cunnilingus if you don't take Gardasil, and then we're and
they're complaining about pot about a plant is nuts.
Well, it's absolutely shameful. It's unbelievable to me. I mean,
these people have i They're heartless. And I think that
Pelosi woman is a classic example of a heartless person.
Oh, yeah, that whatever the cops say goes. A former prosecutor.
Yeah. But he's a criminal to them.
And now she's a Fox News correspondent. That's that's the
the rise to fame right there. Pro. So that's pretty
outrageous. You know, I came across an interesting clip,
John, you know, we have these, these clips about Haiti. Of
course, my belief is that this was a total setup that turned on
the earthquake machine. And now $11.4 billion, is being raised
through the United Nations, the World Bank, all flowing through
the Clinton Bush, for haiti.org, which does not exist, the money
goes directly to the William Jefferson Clinton Foundation,
and the Texas something I keep forgetting the name Bush's
favorite charity. They say they've collected 14 million,
which seems pretty low. And they claim only to have dispersed 3
million so far all to NGOs, nongovernmental organizations.
And of course, we laugh about what they were saying when they
were together. When they were doing their PR release together,
as 20,000 US troops are moving into Haiti, here's what Bush
said shyster show up and take advantage of people's goodwill
and generosity, right. And then, of course, when they were
together
a medical team or a search and rescue team, we just need cash.
I know a lot of people want to send blankets or water, just
send your cash. So
by coincidence, I come across a YouTube video. Again, Bush and
Clinton Only this time, it is President Clinton and George H.
Walker Bush after the tsunami
example, when Central America was devastated this is
by the hurricane after the tsunami in Sri Lanka, etc. And
listen to what so now this is this is this is the Bush,
Clinton crime family syndicate at work and listen to what
they're saying,
when I was president, we spent almost a billion dollars of the
taxpayers money out of their pockets. And if I could just
make one other point about that, because you asked if it was a
worldwide effort, because of the internet. And because you can
make contributions over the net, a small amount of cash, who can
do an enormous amount of good you have AOL and Apple, for
example, using their position on the internet to collect small
contributions, I think well put together about seven and a half
million dollars in small contributions. In a day on
President Bush.
It's cash over Ionis. Right. You're gonna give right now it
is. Larry right now, that's true. President Clinton and I
accompany the President when he went to pay his respects we all
did. Signing the books at the very
at the death warrant is what he wanted to say for four embassies
of the countries that were affected. And all of them made
clear that the best thing you can do is to send money at this
time as opposed to goods because there's no delivery problem.
Sometimes the goods can be acquired in a neighborhood
nearby or sometimes it could make me sent from here might not
be exactly what's needed. The medicine might be different. So
I've we've we've concluded that the best thing to do is, as
President Clinton said a minute ago to give to these
organizations or give Senate into to USA Freedom dot gov. And
freedom core.gov and let them help distribute it. But the main
thing is, it's better at this juncture to send to send cash
just in
this cash now. So I'm listening to that and like USA
freedom.gov. Okay, offline doesn't exist, gone, USA
freedom.gov no longer exists freedom core.gov gone offline
that no longer exists. So I'm like, Huh, that's interesting.
What happened to the so I go into archive.org and USA
freedom.gov does not exist in archive.org it cannot find it.
However, freedom corp.gov does exist in the archive. And that
has actually morphed into a new site. I'm just trying to bring
it up from archive.org right now. Do you know what that has
become?
No, but you're gonna tell me surf.gov Oh, really? Oh, yes.
surf.surf.gov United We Serve. That is the unit the freedom
corps.gov That website has been changed into serve DOD. Gov. And
right there on the homepage. i Yes. Oh, he's such a sweet boy
from New Jersey. Oh, he's been assimilated. Maybe he is just
reptilian. Here he comes. We all recognize a big believer in the
power of we this is Jon Bon Jovi. We can tackle the tough
challenges we face and build community through service and
volunteering. The reality is we're all in this together. So
explain to me how money that went to the victims of the
tsunami freedom corps.gov Did that build serve.gov? Is that
what happened? Or did it build USA Freedom corps for kids,
which is linked from that website? Which is all a part of
the Corporation for National and Community Service? Is that what
happened with that money? Well, your cash your cash?
Just seems like money that do they ever give an accounting of
this money? Are they just not
know because we gotta be looking at other things like Sandra
Bullock and Tiger Woods. Yeah.
Sounds like a rip off. If you asked me, by the way, Tiger
Woods, you know, I was reading this article in I think was the
New York New York Times Magazine, about how and I
remember we talked about this, you know, the contracts with the
television contracts are up. They have to be renewed. And
they've been in discussion for over a year now. And of course,
without Tiger Woods, no no golf on television. It's just not
interesting because it's not golf, people care about his
Tiger Woods. And the article asserts what I thought was
pretty interesting that golf is in big trouble because who
really pays for the for the television fees? Who really pays
for the sponsorships? You do know right now who are huge
financial companies these are the guys that are always
sponsoring all these all these events and then they have all
pulled out they don't have no they can't if they have the
money, they've either given it to themselves in bonuses, or
their shareholders won't stand for it that they're flying all
of these all of their big clients on private jets to go
watch Tiger Woods play golf. So there was a classic conundrum of
Jesus Christ. Now we've we don't have enough money really to pump
into the television contracts. And I believe that the Viacom
pride and we'd have to go back and see who broke the story of
Tiger Woods. They probably made a very smart decision by saying
you know what, we can make a shitload of money off of this
guy we don't have any more sponsors. Why don't we just blow
the lid off of all this fucking around is doing because everyone
knew it. I mean, it's impossible for Tiger well
now the more stories come out the more apparently everybody
buddy knew about it. I
mean, this is he's a multi billion dollar franchise.
They're not just gonna you know, it's not like people don't know
about what he's doing every single day or night this guy was
the franchise. So why don't we just blow the lid off it we'll
make tons of money talking about all these hookers and the
strippers and and now of course when the Masters opens on April
5, it'll be a huge it'll be bigger than Election Day. It'll
be huge for free don't have to do anything don't have to had
you don't have to blow these advertisers we get all the
people are gonna watch. They had the hookers threatening to show
up the porn star
right a porn star trek show up of course. We will all
be watching. I'll be watching I can't wait to see your show.
This is gonna be cool. So this was a total media hit, just to
make money just like they can killed Michael Jackson because
it was worth more dead than alive. For the family is the
releasing an album of unreleased tracks $100 million to the
family alone, please. This is how it works people.
Because, yeah, well, there's been a lot of suspicion about
the Tiger Woods thing not being kind of some you know
who broke the story. We are stupid. You and I are stupid
because we should have paid attention. This is what we've
got to look at when to start
a real news story, though we don't pay that much attention to
these stories except to ridicule them. Yeah. But in this case,
yeah, we probably could have we thought about it. In fact, my
wife came up with the same thing with the Sandra Bullock thing
she says the big problem is Jesse James's numbers have
fallen through the floor. Nobody's watching his show
anymore. And you need some PR
and that you know that guy, he's got blue jeans and Walmart. He's
got t shirt deals he's got he's got a lot of merchandising. And
isn't it interesting that we've actually never heard either of
them talk about this. I mean, the whole we're already beaten
the guy up with baseball bats Joy Bay horror standing outside
his door. Yet neither Sandra Bullock nor Jesse James have
said anything about this based on one interview that some
tattoo chick gave. So I don't know. I need I do need somebody
being so funny. I just have to qualify that as a real news
story.
It was yeah, it was totally the public is being scammed left and
right. And that's kind of too bad.
You know that many people actually just use this show, as
their news. Like, I don't watch any good idea. I don't need to
watch any news. I just listen to no agenda. And they break it up,
you know, because we're about you know, two hours in length
and they break it up over two days, and it feels they're weak.
And they know everything. They got everything they need to
know.
Our main message is to stay away from these news outlets.
That's exactly it. That's where you want to start. Oh, read
a book. Go get that dead dead BAM family of secrets. Read it.
Go read The Confessions of an Economic Hitman GO. There's good
books out there legacy of ashes another good book, another
great book, Confessions of an economic hitman. Let me talk
about a potential to to the head. So of course, we were so
busy talking about beating up Jesse James and feeling bad for
Sandra Bullock that the news of former State Senator Nancy
Shaffer and her husband Bruce, who apparently died of a murder
suicide kind of slipped under the radar. Now, here's two
interesting things about this story. As you know, again, what
you have to do is yet this happened. Let me see when did
this come out? This is from Saturday, March 27th. And so I
think it happened Friday night. You go to Google, you enter in
it's really simple. Just enter in former State Senator Nancy
Shaffer. And then you enter a timeline and you pull it back,
like a day before because Google is now just saturated with Oh,
murder, suicide, oh, murder, suicide, oh, murder suicide. But
if you basically tell the search engine to omit all of these news
stories? Well, you come up with something very interesting. A
report from Georgia Senator Nancy Schaffer from 2008. From
the legislation and I have the links and everything to this and
the PDF file from the Legislative desk of Senator
Nancy Schaffer 50th District of Georgia, Georgia in November
16 2007. Sorry, 2007 titled The corrupt business of Child
Protective Services. And in this report, I'm focusing on the
Georgia Department of Family and Children's Services however, I
believe child protective services nationwide has become
corrupt and that the entire system is broken almost beyond
repair.
Yeah, there's a lot of evidence about this has happened to Texas
the stories that the right wing talk show guys were talking
about where they stole all these kids and then the judge said no,
you you have to give the kids back from some guy
that goes beyond where's my I want my bike back. I want my kid
back.
And then again, the Child Protective Services said no, we
don't care what you tell us. Yeah, Child Protective
Services and I'll just say it briefly full of pedophiles
anyway, then you kind of delve into the into this murder
suicide now if you're going to commit murder suicide, and
they're saying that Bruce had cancer so you know this, they
both wanted to go it made so much sense by the way, not a
single mention of this child protective services report in
any of the news reports about the murder suicide But if you,
John, if you are terminally ill, which I don't know if it's true
if it's true or not with cancer, and you and your wife decide,
oh, let's commit, let's commit suicide. Here's here's how he
did it. He shot his wife in the back and then killed himself in
the chest. I mean, come on people. How are we supposed to
believe this one, shot her in the back and then and then shot
himself dead in the chest. This is not a murder suicide. This is
not how it's done. I don't care what you say. And then this
report damning I tell you damning. This needs to be
investigated. But instead let's talk about Tiger and Jesse and
Sandra real important stuff.
So who kills themselves by gunshot to the chest? People who
are suicided This is what police department in in any
universe, RPI The FBI is saying, Oh, no, this is murder suicide.
Clearly. Clearly the FBI
Yes. Oh, that gives us nothing but confidence. And thank you
very much for this uplifting story. depressing news on no
agenda. No wonder we're not getting any money.
Spokesman John bank and told the manager the AGC was that Atlanta
Journal Constitution whatever. Be a thorough investigation of
what happened. But it seems like a murder suicide. That's quite
apparent, you know, the guy had cancer. So he shot his wife in
the back and then killed himself in the chest. Right. Makes total
sense. Quick little ditty from I don't
even know how you shoot yourself in the ditch. It doesn't you
gotta let you like you have the option to turn the gun on
yourself and then use your thumb to fire
it. And then as you're gonna sit there and bleed out. I mean,
shooting yourself to the head will be the obvious, right?
crazy ridiculous. Oh, my goodness. Let me just I got one
more to to the head, which is also very funny.
This is funny. No, no, I
mean, it's questionable. Gulf SHEIKH AHMED bin Zayed Al naion.
The world's biggest sovereign sovereign wealth fund runner. So
he runs the world's biggest sovereign wealth fund, and his
older brother just happens to be the ruler of Abu Dhabi.
Now, the Abu Dhabi sovereign wealth fund,
yes. Which of course is oh, is it insolvent? Is that what we
call it?
I don't know. That's Dubai. That's insolvent. Oh, I'm sorry.
Right. Abu Dhabi. Well, maybe they're on the verge of being
insolvent. But maybe not. He was reported missing in a plane
crash in Morocco now. Oh, so I'm like, Oh, okay. This is bad. But
let's listen to the plane crash. He was in a glider which crashed
landed into a lake. The pilot was recovered, but they can't
find his passenger. This is not a good way to go. What? A glider
so it's a two man glider. Yes. Which means us obviously with an
instructor somebody
didn't even say it says it came down in a lake it doesn't even
say crashed it came down in the lake. So anyone glider you can
land it on water. You can land an Airbus on water.
Yeah. And probably float because they're usually made out of
balsa wood. Yeah. Oh, can't find him. I'm sorry. I don't know he
sank. His pockets were full of cash and he sank. That would
happen now our favorite president of the United States
of Europe, Herrmann from the Rome pow who really needs a
better name. He really needs an alias that no one can pronounce
this guy needs some PR help. Totally. So there's some
wordplay going on, in in Europe. Now that the French and the
Germans are saying we need economic government in Europe.
In fact, the global economic government, here's the quote, we
consider that the European Council should become the
economic government of the United States of Europe.
Economic government. Oh, yeah. What does that mean? That means
all your euros belong to us.
And what is it that what the EU is anyway? Kind of?
Yeah, but it's one thing to it's one thing to for it to be that
way. It's another to say it and so fun room pie is like, oh,
because the British will freak out. The British don't want they
already are not like stay away from our pound. We don't want
any part of that. So now there's gonna be eat Economic
government. So now it's been changed to look Gouveia more
economic and the changing in an English to economic governance,
ah, economic governance. That's what it is. Along those same
lines for climate change, which of course John you and I both
know that this is really about the new world order taking over
and and, and paying all your taxes your carbon taxes to well,
it was going to be the United Nations. But now that the United
Nations keeps stalling it can actually get anything to happen.
This is from the EU Observer. European Union leaders are now
saying, well, maybe it should be the G 20. Yeah, the G 20. Should
be in charge of this. So finally, they've got what they
want the G 20 is going to be in charge of everything they are
that is going to be the true Starfleet Command of the world.
And actually, it's the G 20.5. Because the Netherlands gets to
sit on on the panel, even though they're not technically big
enough to be a part of the G 20. So that's it. That just works.
It
sounds right. Yay. July write a check now or later. Hey, I just
entered the bush Clinton or should I send it to some of that
dishrag guys?
Hey, let's not be demeaning about
search and rescue team. We just need cash.
I know a lot of people want to send blankets or water. No, just
send your cash. just inject cash. Fantastic. Quick one from
the we told you so files. You may not remember this, because
it was probably Wow, a year and a half ago we talked about the
energy efficient the Green Star label remember that?
Oh, yeah. Yeah, the classic. Yeah, big
story in. In the Los Angeles Times, federal investigators,
who themselves submitted phony products, such as a gas powered
alarm clock to the government's energy efficiency certification
program found it easy to obtain approval for the devices among
them bogus devices. So the Feds actually put this into their own
system, a room air cleaner that in the picture prominently
displayed on the website of a fictitious company, an electric
space heater with a feather duster and strips of flypaper
attached to it was approved as energy efficient.
Oh, I think our podcast should be entered. No, we're pretty
energy efficient podcast.
Totally. We got to keep track of these stories because we forget
about them but then the stuff that we sometimes it's a week
but sometimes it's a year ahead of time we'll say this is BS is
this crap? And that's why you should be supporting us dammit.
Oh by the way, this couple of things I'm gonna probably go
after not this week, but they'll be coming up there's been a
concerted effort against the raw milk producers again again. Oh,
man. Now it's really getting nasty and I don't know what to
do with the just you know, part of the food did corrupt food
business.
Well, there's there was something I read there was
actually two things. Here it is. This is another thing I believe
we talked about. Title of this. And I guess this is from a OPAP
regulated or not nano foods coming to a store near you. Did
you hear about this?
No. What's a nano food? Is it a mac and cheese
$14 Mac and cheese reaches a little bit from it. For
centuries. It was the cook in the heat of the fire that
cajoled taste, texture, flavor and aroma from the pot. Today
that culinary Voodoo is being crafted by white coated
scientists toiling in pristine labs rearranging atoms into
chemical particles.
Formerly called molecular gastronomy, right. So this is
all started by the guy in that great restaurant in Spain El
Bulli, he's the he's the head of the whole idea.
But now I guess, structure, taste color will all be
determined by nano particles that will be put into your food
and of course we don't we know so little about nanotechnology
really, or certainly about the effects on our health. But yeah,
so forget steroids in your chickens.
We don't eat this crap anyway. We're not going to eat anything
that's that somebody's created in the lab and then mass
producing.
Well, you hope not but who knows? I mean, there's no not
going to be any regulation on it.
Because it's almost impossible to not eat genetically
engineered corn almost impossible. At this point,
did you hear about what's happening with the Monsanto
corn?
Now what?
Oh, here it is. Let me see if I can, the first thing I should
probably do is play. Large scale cultivation of genetically
engineered corn is causing the spread of a new pest in the US
corn belt, the Western Bean Cutworm is infesting the tips of
the corn cobs massive damage is being reported from those
regions, where the corn is grown on large scale the corn is known
as m o n 810. sold as yield guard by
looks like it did anybody not expect something like this to
happen once in a while? Then we went to a monoculture like that.
Well, we expected it but and by the way, not being reported
anywhere? Of course not. Why bother with Jesse James has this
Nazi chick?
Yeah, yeah, Nazi chick man,
on behalf of Greenpeace. Test biotech analyzed many reports on
the spread of the Western Bean Cutworm and exchange opinions
with several experts. The cause of the spread of the new pest is
hardly known to farmers in the US. Yeah, right. Farmers have
only been told how to identify infestation and which
insecticides they can use. Oh, more Monsanto stuff to throw on
the corn. Yum. Yeah, it's, it's pretty bad.
All right. Well, that's, I think I'll just go shoot myself.
Allow me. Let me just see if there's anything else there. By
the way, I'm
not going to shoot myself. So if I wind up dead, you know, the
reason why and I
didn't do it. Anything we want to say about the South Korean
navy ship that went down?
I don't I you know, I was looking into that. I haven't
gotten an angle on it yet.
Well, the one thing that made me laugh, so of course, you've got
to believe that the North Koreans blew this thing out of
the water. The thing you got to laugh about if there was like a
15 minute gun salvo as the South Koreans were shooting at what
later turned out to be a flock of birds. Now let me tell you
one thing. I've been on a frigate. This shit is so
technologically advanced with a thing called the goalkeeper on
top. They know when something's coming from halfway across the
world, and it's not going to be a flock of birds that they're
shooting at accidentally. This is This is nuts. I mean, there
was there was an actual altercation that happened. And I
think we'd have to know we'd have to understand more about
the history of North and South Korea, which goes back to what
50s 5152 John, and how that whole thing happened. By the
way, President Obama I think he's actually taken North Korea
off the list of the access of evil.
Hmm, well, that made me get my opportunity
for your wine tasting your Cabernet with Kim Jong Il
no Bordeaux's.
Oh, Bordeaux's, I'm sorry. News reports that the RAF has
scrambled jets 20 times in the past year to intercept Russian
aircraft over British airspace.
Yeah, there was a recent report of a Russian bomber bomber
flying over England
or almost at Ireland. Yeah. What was that all
about? You think?
Yeah, just kicking the tires, just testing the engine.
And I think that is looking at you know, it's like these people
will cut these cables all over the US trying to deconstruct
the, the network in such a way that they can find that one
point where they can just blow up a, you know, one of the Nexus
is one of the hubs, one of the big nodes. And if they figure
out way to blow up maybe one or two of them and take the whole
USA internet down. I
don't think I don't think it can be done.
I think I think it can be done and I don't think so. I don't
think so. I think it's beginning more and more centralized.
You know, I should have pulled the commercial. Did you see this
new Cisco commercial? It's it's like a small town girl pulls up,
she parks out in front of some building and I guess like her
uncle or something is the local sheriff. And, and she meets him
he says, oh, you know, let me show you our CD. Where's all the
cop? I kinda wish I had this commercial. Where's all the cops
says Oh, come on into our into our command center and there's
like one cop sitting behind six or seven monitors and then she
sees someone actually towing her car and then boom, it's like
Cisco protecting you. We're really moving Towards a police
state. Yeah, I
should you know, the funny thing is that gets me about that sort
of commercial is that it's obviously, I mean fact that you
do a commercial like that which is somewhat onerous. The fact
that Cisco signed off on it and the advertising agency signed
off on it, everybody signed off on it without anybody saying,
This isn't. This isn't the future that we want to see. This
isn't a good thing. Nobody does that. Oh, that's a great idea.
It'll show more routers.
It's the global skin that we talked about this is this is the
thing that they're promoting. This is their big product,
Cisco, you know, they're huge and government contracts.
Yeah, and God knows what they can pull out the back end of
those things. I'm gonna have an interview with somebody this
week I think or maybe next week one of the two is involved with
the capture for the no agenda stream.com
I might be actually I might actually record it. Perfect. I
plan to
oh, here it is. Here's the here's the commercial Hold on a
second. Then I want to hear about your your interview. I
think this is it. Yeah, welcome to Lunenburg. Little Town. Look
who's here. It's LM. Mayor. Wait, how you doing? Would you
like to see our new police department? Yeah. All right.
This way here it is completely networked. So anything happening
Sue's? She's all good.
Is that my car? The new community see it? Live it share
it on the human network.
Unbelievable.
The news that voiceover at the end? She sounds terrible.
And do you hear the cameras go? Listen to the tagline the
tagline You're so good.
Is that my car? The new community see it live it share
it on the human network Cisco Live at CES share sharing
community
1984 George Orwell already discussed this new community
that's disgusting.
There goes our underwriting from Cisco.
Yeah and that's a reason by the way we need your support because
we this show cannot be ever can never be commercially it just
not gonna happen. It won't work. It won't work and the Cisco be a
classic company to you know, they got none but money to spend
on stuff like this. But you know, even Tesla,
Tesla automobiles is sponsoring NPR. I said they were broke. No,
I saw so they
get some government bailout money. Nevermind. Oh, that's
right. They did? No, yeah. And they've got an ISIL interactive
underwriting. I mean, I don't I don't want to call it an ad or
sponsorship, or call it what you like. But ya know, those guys?
Will they ever say anything negative about Tesla? I don't
know if there's anything negative to say. But will they
like the BBCs Top Gear, which has no commercials, and they
tried out the Tesla thing ran out of juice, they made fun of
it. You know, that would never happen on an NPR program. And we
do need your support. Here's the ways you can do it. Besides the
obvious, just send us your cash because we do need it. And we
want to do more. And we were a little low this week. In fact,
are we growing at all or are we stagnated?
Well, it depends we It depends on how you look at it. It
doesn't. I think we're flat right now, but we can jack
things up a little bit by
Well, no, we just need more support. And there's two way
listeners we need everybody to get to listeners each Yeah, to
listeners
each call amount was douchebags. By the way, we're happy to do a
happy birthday mentions for cash. And you can always go to
dvorak.org/blog dvorak.org/n A or challenge vortec.com/and. You
know, we should we one of the things we haven't been promoted.
Besides the fact that people should be making stickers and
posting them all over the place where it's legal, is we need to
get some more knights, because we're going to do a ring by
shortly and I do and do decide we're going to you know, it's
going to be a one shot thing by for the first 50 nights. And do
you want to get in on that you're wanting to jump become a
knight
so you can do three donations of $333.33 we kick in the extra
penny. If you've been on your own layaway or your own
accounting and you're up to the $1,000. Mark, let us know we'll
put you on the list for the rings. Of course, it's always
excellent to get in on the $5 a month donation because that's
the base that we're trying to build long term and of course
the sustaining producers for the no agenda stream. i We have the
list now up at no agenda stream.com You'll see there's
only one other link besides the actual the actual stream and
that's to the list of sustaining That could have producers
sustaining Associate Executive producers and founding founding
correct. And so we're giving you your props, please change your
change your Wi Fi names to no agenda show.com or no agenda
stream.com with a password in the morning, use that on your
guest account, put it in your email signature. What else have
we missed? John?
I think that's about it. I
think we've got just about all the ways people can help us. And
that is if you can't afford any money, a lot of people are
broke. Do listen to all the stories of people who donate
money to the show, and then magically get a job.
Now, when we finish the show today, do you want to run a
clip? Okay, after the theme, okay. And because I think people
should just listen to this. So we can kind of show that we do
have some balance here. This was nobody reported this, of course.
This is during the congressional back and forth in the Senate.
Mary Landrieu who was blamed for the so called Louisiana
Purchase, which was considered by the Republicans to be some
sort of a scam to get her vote on the health care bill defends
herself separately in such a way that I actually take her side on
this without question and she calls out of all people, John
McCain for being a basically a douche bag. It's very
interesting. It's a little long, it's not overly long, but it's
five or six minutes, but it's worth listening to. So we'll
play that after we close. Coming
to you from the hilltop Watchtower crackpot command
center in the People's Republic of Southern California. Yay. In
the morning, I'm Adam curry,
and from Northern Silicon Valley, where it appears to be a
nice day to dam John C. Dvorak, we'll
talk to you again on Thursday right here for the early
service, I know agenda.
On ushering us to this point, and I was in many of those
meetings, and his patience was inspirational and his steady
hand when things got tough. So I want to thank him. And I also
want to thank the chairman of the Budget Committee, no one has
a command of this budget in this entire body than a better hand
handle on it than Kent Conrad. And I think he's spoken in some
detail in depth about the significant cost reductions and
deficit reductions that will occur because of our work. But I
came down to speak specifically about the amendment just offered
by the senator from Arizona, I actually went to the desk to get
a copy of it because I wanted to read it for myself. I'd like to
say this amendment is a stunt that really doesn't deserve the
time that I'm even going to give to explain the portion of it.
That refers to Louisiana. And the reason I say it's a stunt is
because it's actually written for television or the internet.
It's not written for any serious debate here. And in my view,
it's beneath the senator from Arizona, who at one time was a
candidate for president of this country. The reason I say it's a
stunt is because the word sweetheart are actually written
in this amendment. Normally, the only time I see that word is
when my husband sends me a dozen roses on Valentine's Day, which
he does most years, not every year, but most years. But to
actually draft an amendment like this, that actually uses the
word sweetheart deal is really an insult to the people of our
country. And I would expect more from him. I've tried to explain
this to him privately on any number of occasions. I've
provided him with an his staff with every document they've ever
requested. And I'm here to say one more time, the people of
Louisiana do not deserve the duration from him, or for any
member of the Republican team, or by my Republican allies,
because of asking for a correction in a formula that
would have been devastating to the state of Louisiana or to any
state that experienced the kind of catastrophic disaster that we
did. This amendment that I got on might have been unknown to
Senator McCain. But it was not a secret. How would I know that?
Because actually, I called a press conference with the
governor of Louisiana Republican governor and announced it.
That's why I know it wasn't a secret. And we didn't have one
press conference together. We had three. I've explained to the
senator from Arizona, just because he didn't know about it.
Doesn't mean it was a secret. There are lots of things that
happen in Washington. It's is a big place. It's a big country
that he doesn't know about. This is one of them. There were three
press conferences called and our entire delegation wrote a
letter, a public letter, which I have given to every reporter
that's asked for it, asking for consideration for this. Number
three, how would I know it's not a secret because my legislature,
which is represented by 50%, Republican and 50%, Democrat
unanimously passed it in a public forum. So the people of
Louisiana that I represent, believe me are sick and tired of
hearing their name dragged through the mud, you want to
drag your name through the mud drag mine, but leave the people
I represent out of it. When the health care debate came forward,
and we recognized at the governor's request, and I'd ask
for 30, more, minute more, you know, since I'm for a minute
more when the healthcare debate started, our governor recognize
that without this change, the state of Louisiana would lose
somewhere of about $450 million. Because under the formula that
was calculated, which is done publicly, the federal government
declared that the Louisiana per capita income had increased 40%.
It's never happened in the history of the United States of
America, no state and no year and no decade, even with the
gold rush. Even with discovering oil, even with the greatest
inventions of the world, no states income has ever, ever
gone up 40% And ours did not. The people I represent are not
richer, because of Katrina. We are poor. And I will make no
backup a minute to ask for help for them. So all I've asked in
this bill, and we've gotten and despite the effort on the other
side to undo it, we will not undo it. All we're asking for is
to let us pay the same Medicaid match that we have paid for the
last 10 years. As long as I know, Louisiana pays 30 cents,
the federal government pays 70. And our people are covered. I
asked for 30 more seconds and I promise I'll end here. We're not
asking for special treatment. We're asking just to pay the
same amount of Medicaid as we have paid for the last 10 years.
It was not done secretly. It was not done behind closed doors and
it was not done to by my vote. My vote was given to this bill
because this bill deserves it. Because it's a very good piece
of legislation. And I told the leader I would vote for it
whether this was in it or not. But I am tired and I am not
going to sit down and not defend the people of my state. Now the
other members can speak about what they want. This isn't a
sweetheart deal. It's a stunt from a senator that I would
expect more from and I yield the floor C. Dvorak for ACC twit
