Thank You Satan?

00:01 Because old dudes don't eat that shit. Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak. It's September 20th, 2009. Time for your Gitmo Nation audio publication, episode 132. This is no agenda. And I'm back in Gitmo Nation West, live from the minimum security containment cell in San Francisco. The loft that is under threat of eminent domain and where the granola tastes just that much crunchier. Everybody I'm Adam Curry and from what appears to be an extremely hot day here in northern Silicon Valley. I'm John C. Dvorak Hey man good to be back in the same time zone Yeah, I don't think this is good for the listeners really no

00:46 Yeah, I think that you always come up with the weirdest crap when you're floating around. Ah John you have no idea what's gonna hit you today? Up I can hear it's the slapback is there dude Well, why don't you tell me two seconds ago? Because I'm only hearing it now when you're volume down. The minute when I start... When we're chatting. Because now I'm animated, now I'm excited, now I'm talking louder. Yeah, this is turn down yourself. Okay, go ahead. So give me... what do you have that's weird? I got a bunch of... I'm very annoyed today. Oh, then maybe I should just step back and let you roll with it. Do you want a pet peeve of the day just to kick it off or... It's not a peeve. You're just annoyed in general. Maybe I'll come over to the peeve later. No, you're just annoyed in general.

01:30 Okay, well what are you so annoyed about my friend? You know as you knew as you and the listeners all know we're not big fans of Taylor Swift and her Oh gosh, do we have to do do we have to do Taylor Swift today? I want you to play Warren Sapp, but let me set it up first. I'm listening to inside the why do I have why am I being assaulted tormented tormented no no no i'm being assaulted by crap like this is some of the play clip from inside the nfl you tell me what any of this has to do with football as it involves is going to be warren sap you can barely understand who was warren sap i'm sorry that's an old defensive tackle defensive and that's now a commentator who needs to take some annunciation lessons

02:19 who now works at HBO and he provides very little insight and then the worst part is he does this bit at the end of the inside the NFL show and it just bugged me to no end and I'll tell you that of course a number of reasons why but play it. Up there in that press box they forgot how to block, how to tackle, how to just play the game and I'll bet you they didn't do it. That's Chris Collinsworth who's got too much he's got too many he's got too many jobs it's been a while. It's always about hitting the other guy in the mouth, isn't it? That's all it's gonna ever be about. Am I blushing? Did he say something good about me or not? I couldn't quite figure it out, but thank you, Chris. You're welcome. Phil blushing. All right, you know what? Let's close out with a sap shot, if you will. Well, Mr. Kanye West, I would pray to the Father above that Taylor Swift was my daughter, because I would have came upon that stage and put my hands on you, young fella.

03:13 You don't do that. Don't do that. That was the young lady's time, her war. You get these heads put on you, that was my little girl. And the president was right. Oh, he's definitely a jackass. Safe to say from start to finish, Warren Sapp was fired up about that one. Yeah, I'd say so. All right, that's it from us. Thank you for watching. Be well everyone and we'll see you next time. All right, John unleash unleash go for it. Okay, so this is starting to show up I found out about this when my stepson sent me a note and then it's starting to show up on blogs around the country Of course, it's not showing up in the mainstream media except in terms of what you just heard

03:52 and Obama obviously dropping a couple of interesting comments. Taylor Swift and Kanye West have the exact same agent. Oh yeah, well... And it turns out if you start reading around enough this agent who happens to be the president and tell me how you get this guy for your agent, the president of William Morris, thank you Taylor Swift's dad, he already set up a scam publicity stunt like this with Kanye West again and 50 Cent some time ago when their album sales were going down. He does this all the time. Kanye did it during the American Music Awards and he was slamming Vince Gill. Notice, because remember what I said on the last show,

03:13 You don't do that. Don't do that. That was the young lady's time, her war. You get these heads put on you, that was my little girl. And the president was right. Oh, he's definitely a jackass. Safe to say from start to finish, Warren Sapp was fired up about that one. Yeah, I'd say so. All right, that's it from us. Thank you for watching. Be well everyone and we'll see you next time. All right, John unleash unleash go for it. Okay, so this is starting to show up I found out about this when my stepson sent me a note and then it's starting to show up on blogs around the country Of course, it's not showing up in the mainstream media except in terms of what you just heard

03:52 and Obama obviously dropping a couple of interesting comments. Taylor Swift and Kanye West have the exact same agent. Oh yeah, well... And it turns out if you start reading around enough this agent who happens to be the president and tell me how you get this guy for your agent, the president of William Morris, thank you Taylor Swift's dad, he already set up a scam publicity stunt like this with Kanye West again and 50 Cent some time ago when their album sales were going down. He does this all the time. Kanye did it during the American Music Awards and he was slamming Vince Gill. Notice, because remember what I said on the last show,

04:38 Is that Kanye West is likely an MKUltra subject in mind control. Yeah, I know you said this. But you'll pay attention now. Whenever he's apologizing about doing one of these things, he starts rubbing his head and it really, really hurts. And he'll move his cap up and then he's like, and he starts rubbing his forehead because it hurts because he knows that his subconscious knows that it's wrong what he's doing but they flip the switch somewhere and then he just has to go for it. this well of course the what did you want to do is let me let me finish my point okay first of all that the the the celeb g hot a very interesting websites pointed this this scam out and and also uh... cycle beer steak bullshit which is a very interesting website also point but nobody has made the connection or or made the following up observation which i find to be distressing

05:37 How does the President of the United States get involved in a publicity stunt like this? A. And B. Does he actually believe this is like, this really happened? That he had to call out Kanye West as a jackass? Is our President susceptible to the stupidest... low-level the stupidest low-level kinds of publicity stunts and if that's the case what are the russians pulling on them what are the people in the middle east pulling what about the scammers that you know in in in lebanon i mean guys who really know how to do this kind of thing what are the what's how much of how much wool is being pulled over our own president's eyes if he is susceptible to crap like this which apparently he is ladies and gentlemen you're listening to no agenda live on no agenda stream dot com it's

06:21 clear is this we go out we hit people in the mouth it's a very simple formula but it's effective John you are so right I I can't refute that there's this nothing I can say other than and I connected these dots for you just on the previous show remember that Taylor Swift is showing up on all these NBC shows right member we identified that she's on What was the the big profile? It was the big profile show dateline. Yeah, it was dateline dateline So, of course a whole show on well, we made all those connections between NBC and her dad and GE and is a huge hedge fund hedge fund manager and he's there in Nashville So he's kind of in the catbird seat he's got the music industry in his pocket and he's buying all these awards for his daughter and I

07:14 uh... you know it's clear that the president needed a diversion from all the crap that is really going on amid when's the last time you actually saw a news report about the g twenty coming up this week or or or with the things that will by the way we told our listeners are audience heard about the russian pullout and try to pull out of uh... of the uh... the missile shield in poland and the czech republic before it actually hit the news We were already talking about it. Now it's like, oh, now it's a big deal. Of course, because we broke it, John. That's why. They had to respond after we broke the story. But it's obvious the president is in on the diversionary tactics that are planned in the media. Well, he better be, because if he's not, then he's a dummy. Yeah, exactly. He's no dummy. He's no dummy, that's for sure.

08:09 But yeah, you're absolutely right. And he goes on and his famous quote... Hey, why did that happen? He's a jackass. Right. So his famous quote is heard around the world... Actually, I have that whole clip again sent to you. If you play it with it in mind that the entire thing is a setup to get picked up and played. It is a setup! No, but the listeners have to listen to it again. It's a very short clip. Wait a minute, which one is it? It's the one that came in second said replay clip. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I didn't know there was another clip that came in No, there's no replay replay clip. There should be a second clip in there. What play from do you have last week's clips? Cuz it's in there. Yeah, I have to load it up if you give me a second You should have all this stuff at your fingertips you got this I had a lash up Yeah, I didn't realize we were going to be do last week show this week. Oh

09:05 What's it called Obama jackass chat I have it you know the archival system works. Give me give me a little bit of credit here we go By the way listen to the tone of his voice When I first heard this because I hadn't seen you know I hadn't seen anything or heard about it until I heard this first clip I'm like I thought that was an impersonator Who's doing like a bad, you know, kind of like a Mike Tyson. A bad Obama. A bad Obama, like that's not Obama. You know, and that says something. We should probably analyze that. That was really inappropriate. You know, I mean it's like she's getting an award, what are you buttoning? Who are you buttoning? I hear you, I agree with you. I hear you. I hope I... Does that count as the first question? This by the way I think was before the news conference. Yeah.

09:56 Yeah, I thought it was after the first question. The young lady seems like a perfectly nice person. She's getting her award. I like her daddy. He contributed lots of money to my campaign. You know, that makes a lot of sense. What's he doing up there? He's a jackass. He's a jackass. Dickhead press. Bastards! I'm sorry different kind of pool. Come on guys Cut the present. Oh my god, you know, you're so right John when you when you hear him say, where's the pool? He's almost like Telegraphing like saying hey, hey, I'll make sure to make sure this gets out guys. It's it's recorded right ain't it? Where's the pool? Did you record it? Where's the pool? Did you get it? I got a lot of other stuff on my plate. Apparently not

10:57 Apparently not, he's watching entertainment shows. I can just see the Obama family sitting there at night. Michelle, Michelle, get over here! E.T.'s starting, come on, we gotta watch. What was the fly thing? Oh, yeah. And now, back to real nutrition. Now that worked out well for you. You were a ninja. That worked out well for you, Mr. President. You really diverted everyone's attention during the fly episode. What's that, PETA? And Reggie has the fly on release in about seven minutes. Yeah. And you got the chopsticks this time? What's the top six? I wonder what that means. Chopsticks, I think. I don't know what that's referring to. Somebody might know.

11:58 So anyway, by the way, I didn't get, I kind of disappointed our producers because I didn't get the list I was hoping for of all the Taylor Swift awards that were won. Nobody picked up on that yet. I met it with myself. Although I'm trying to drop the story. I mean, I thought we were going to stop talking about Taylor Swift, but if this kind of thing, with the president's now involved in her publicity, it's ridiculous. Let me, something that just came in on the drop site which just tripped me out is so funny. This is, you know, the backmasking of the 80s, spinning records backwards. So listen to Obama saying yes we can several times. Yes we can. Yes we can.

12:44 You can do this at home, by the way. Now, let's play it backwards. Can you hear it? Thank you, Satan. Let's listen to it again. I love it, I love it, I love it. Who comes up with this stuff? I don't know, but I love it, I love it, I love it. Thank you, thank you. See, that's about as clear as anything I've ever heard. I mean, I've heard lots of these backmasks and you're like, yeah, maybe I heard it, but I didn't prompt you and you heard it through a Skype connection. You could even hear it. Yeah.

13:24 Did you do the reverse yourself on audacity or did you just get somebody else to do it? No, this is uh... someone else did this. Well I'd have to go do it myself to make sure. And now everyone's saying yes we can, yes we can. So everyone's chanting thank you Satan. Listen. Thank you Satan. Thank you Satan. You know, maybe it goes like this. Here's how it works. You say thank you Satan and then put it in an audacity and spin it backwards and it says yes we can. That's gonna be our new phrase. I don't know man.

14:04 I didn't have the thing that came in just as we were about to start the show so I didn't have time to actually do it but of course I will I mean that shouldn't be that hard to throw it into maybe one of our our produce maybe someone in the chat room can do that while we're while we're chatting they can just throw a yes we can and or even better is thank you Satan and see if it says it sounds like yes we can yeah I'm looking at this at the way the syllables are laid out and I'm I'm questioning this now Really? Don't question it, John. Please. The entertainment value is extremely high. I don't see where you get the thank you part from can backwards. Was can... I mean... Well, let's just listen to it again. Hold on. Hold on. Let's back it up.

14:54 Yes, we can. Yes, we can. Here, send me that clip. It's a YouTube video. Oh, nuts. Even worse. I think it may be bogus. Yes, we can. Thank you, Satan. Thank you, Satan. Thank you, Satan. Thank you, Satan. Thank you, Satan. It's definitely humorous. Who comes up with this stuff? It's amazing. People with a lot of time on their hands. And a lot of people are going to be that way while we're all out of work. That's what the key to success for government corruption is. Get people back to work and you can get away with anything. Oh my goodness. Oh boy. That was a good laugh. I'm sorry. Thank you Satan. Well, you know, it's funny.

15:51 I picked up on the way back, I went to Amsterdam, real quick trip, like a two-day trip, picked up Christina who's now hanging out with me here. She's learning all about eminent domain. It's good for these kids to learn about how your government actually works. Yeah, you can get screwed. You can get screwed, yeah. By the way, there's a registered letter for me at the post office from the TGPA, so I guess that's the official notice. I have to go pick it up, but I'm pretty sure. Yeah, I think that's... and it's interesting because they have not yet... I don't think they have a legal basis because they haven't actually purchased the loft from the owner yet. So they... They just come in with a bulldozer and that's the end of the loft. Yeah, I met the guy from the bar across the street.

16:40 yesterday? John Collins? Yeah, please why don't you just give out the longitude and latitude of my place? Why don't you do that John? Let's put it this way, you're talking about the historic brick building that looks like it was built about 1840? Yeah, and I met him in the elevator, he was meeting someone in one of the offices here yesterday, interestingly enough, Saturday. And he said, do you live here? He says, no, no, I'm across the street. And I said, oh, so when are you going to be out? He said, we received our letter. It's December 31st. And I said, I haven't received my letter yet. And then I saw in the mailbox that I had a registered letter, so I guess I got it. And I said, dude, are you going to do like a tear down the wall closing party? He says, actually, I'm going to put on a football uniform and shoulder pads. I'm going to ride the wrecking ball all the way through. I said, OK.

17:36 I don't understand, where's the San Francisco Historical Society in all this? In someone's pocket, obviously. I mean that building is only one of about, at least the ones I could see in that area, of about six buildings that look like they were pre-Civil War. Yes, it's all brick and even our building has architectural significance. Okay, well too bad But I don't think they can actually do if they haven't purchased it yet. They can't they can't throw me out I'm telling you I told you what to do, but you wouldn't do it. No John You're not talking about putting a skull an old Indian skull in the end up in that field across the street. Oh shit Okay, and some bones. Do you have do you have does anyone have a skull? Oh by the way before I forget I

18:25 Do you know what I received anonymously in Amsterdam from one of our listeners slash producers six golden teeth Yeah, and with a little note that says you know, I this is you don't need to know who I am But I really support you guys. These were my mother's and she had Had them removed like 40 years ago, and I want you guys to have them just in case I How awesome it's gruesome to look at it a little box of like six golden teeth like Alright, so they're but they're totally meltable and Somebody sent me a Gold band or some little piece of gold that they've they've they cause it is so you know gold You know you can smash it did like this incredible thin this one Adam thick and

19:18 which is what Gold Leaf is. And they said they costed it out, it came out, it was worth $5.50. And uh... Who costed it? You sent it in that prepaid envelope to the sendusyourgold.com people? Well if we get enough, I'm not going to do it with just the one thing. Speaking of gold, there's got to be an assayist around or someplace where you can do this without going through some mail order operation. Oh, I'm sure we could find someone. The IMF approved the sale of 403 metric tons of gold reserves.

19:54 likely to raise 13 billion dollars of cash to replenish its coffers for lending to low-income countries hit by the global economic downturn. I don't want to say too much but, not that I'm any financial wizard, but I got my gold a long time ago and what is it now John? $1,020? $1,000 maybe it may have dropped a little bit $1,017 an ounce? You want me to give you the exact price? Yeah. It's above a thousand dollars which is... Oh yeah, well it did bounce up above a thousand a couple weeks ago and it's been kind of hovering. Okay, $1,920... The antiquation dollar being a useless piece of crap doesn't... Well, but this clearly had, you know, this IMF move is clearly signaling the importance of gold. That may be, you know, I think that may be, but it also could be a sucker play. I think they're trying to get the Chinese to buy up all the gold and then stick them with it.

20:50 What do you mean sticking with it? The goal is at $1,010.30. Okay, what was the all-time high? The all-time high was like $1,028 or $1,030 an ounce. We're going to hit that. We're going to go above that. Let me just give you a prediction. It could go to $2,000 for all you know. Yeah, I think it will. I was just about to say somewhere between $1,500 and $2,000. I think we're going to see that happen. Yeah, well, we'll see. Which will more than double my investment. More than double and by the way, it's not enough to just call your broker and say give me some gold because that's not gold You're buying that's just a check mark in the spreadsheet. You know, what bothers me is Glenn Beck is promoting gold more than you are Yeah, that is a shame. I mean in fact Glenn Beck I was a little deconstruction on Glenn Beck who by the way is Just killing it in the ratings

21:39 Glenn Beck has been, they've turned the on switch off with this guy. And there's two things that's happened. One is they've changed, you know, he had the midday radio show. They have changed this show drastically. And I have to say that I, and by the way, and then he got the cover of Time Magazine this week. Yeah, I saw that. And there's a big scandal about the photo because the photo was taken by some left wing photographer who doctored it. And this isn't even a recent photo. She just happened to catch this photo of him some time ago And it's all and she put extra blemishes and stuff just to get back at him because she hates him Which is like okay, whatever So they glenn beck has been Yeah, I mean he does his sincere, you know, end of the world thing on television. He does it quite good, I think is definitely very entertaining. I don't even think it's end of the world, but it's good. I mean he's doing all... It is good. It's good to a point. Now there's some good stuff in there. Now the radio show, they've changed it, they've remodeled it and it's now become the number three show, at least according to some sources.

22:36 Out of the blue, they've changed it to a political... like you take the morning zoo and combine it with Rush Limbaugh and you've got the political zoo. Hey everybody! It's Glenn Beck here everybody! That's about right. And what they do is he's got two of his... I believe they're two of his writers that he has on the TV show because they seem like, you know, they... once in a while they try to... we don't know who these two guys are. But they joke around, they play the same kind of clips we do with all three of them laughing in the background, having the time of their lives playing Obama clips. It's actually one of the most entertaining radio shows I've heard for a long time. Where can I hear that in the Bay Area? It's on, I think, KNEW at noon.

23:28 But you don't know what, if it's at noon then he's competing with Rush Limbaugh isn't he? No no, Rush Limbaugh in the Bay Area is on from 9 to 12 on KSFO. I think Hannity comes on after that and I think he's competing with Hannity. Oh well he'll totally hammer Hannity. Well you know, Glenn Beck will be the new number one show uh... who owns a show is not any idea i think is it is now i don't know he's a you'd be self syndicated or maybe fox owns and i'm not really should uh... we should look into that we should find out who owns a show that i'm i'm getting quite annoyed i mean as much as i enjoy the entertainment value these guys i'm quite annoyed with the success of your annoyed with their success in the amount of money to read it

24:09 It is annoying, but I'm more annoyed by the fact that they put out way too much disinformation. It's really bothering me. I mean, these guys are supposed to be the paragons of honesty and all the rest of it. Let me just give you a couple of examples. Back some weeks back, was with all the sincerity that he has, moaning about the fact that some poor farmer in Kansas somewhere couldn't grow his own wheat to grind his own wheat to make his own bread. The government had quotas on how much wheat could be grown and by whom and all the rest of it. I thought this thing was a sketchy story so I looked into it and yeah, this did actually happen around 1942.

24:50 And it was a guy who was already like a wheat grower that had just, he was overproducing and he was making the excuse that most of his overproduction was for his own use and I said no it's not and told him to stop. Glenn Beck misrepresented the story to an extreme. Now yesterday or the day before I'm listening to Hannity and by the way people when we ask for donations you have to realize that I'm torturing myself for you. Anyway, so I'm listening to Hannity. And Hannity's going on and on and on about how the first lady went to the farmer's market to buy a vegetable, and so she had 32 Secret Service cars, an entourage, and all she had to do, you know, because you needed a vegetable, one vegetable, so she could cook something that night. And he just berated her for wasting all the taxpayer money while all these people were unemployed. He just never let up on it. This went on for 15 minutes. So I look it up.

25:44 The first lady, she was opening the Washington, D.C. farmers market. It was a publicity thing. And it wasn't for her to go buy a carrot. It was because it was a staged event and yeah, she needed the security there because there was going to be a public and it was a new farmers market that was opening up near the White House someplace. And it was only a few blocks away so she wasn't driving for miles to get to the farmers market with a caravan of 35 cars to buy a carrot. This was a misrepresentation. Well this is the problem John, when you're doing three hours a day, five days a week,

26:23 You gotta fill the time with something. And remember, this is exactly why our show works so well, is because we don't even set a time limit. We can start whenever the hell we want to start, which today was a little bit later, because I had to finish my yogurt and granola. You know, they have all these commercial breaks they have to hit. I mean, it's a whole process which takes a whole bunch of crap which basically smells the whole show up. It's the nature of the beast, which is why we clearly hold the future with our format and with our our business model. Although, you know, we'll be eating that one carrot for dinner that the lady had to get because we can't make any real money on doing it this way. It still holds the future. It's more entertaining. And my so Mimi says to me, my wife, she says, why don't you guys get a radio show? No, no, no. That's what I said. I said, no, there's no way. Why don't we just shoot ourselves? Yeah. But she's just thinking of the cash, dude. That's all she's thinking about.

27:24 Yeah, I get this from time to time. Apparently. Yeah, I get this from time to time. It's like, hey, you could be on the radio. Yeah. Yeah, we could be on the radio and hate ourselves. And then there's the teasers. Oberman and Maddow, the left-wing talkers who seem to be not getting as much attention in this current little battle between these two cultures. Somebody pointed this out on one of the shows, it says one country, two cultures. I asked a whole bunch of people at the office and elsewhere if they knew about the acorn thing going on with the right-wing culture. Don't tell me no one in the office knew about it. No one in the office knew about it. My God.

28:04 They didn't know about it at all. What are you talking about? Except for Andrew Grumet. Well, Grumet doesn't count because he listens to our show and of course, you know, we... But John, this is the point. You're talking about a lot of young people, so I don't think there's anyone there over 30. Well, there are a couple, but you and Ron don't count. So everyone else is under 30. They don't read newspapers. They don't watch television. They don't even watch Fox. You know that is the the simplest way to watch Fox cues to an older demo Yeah, can you I'm sorry to do this I had just have to do a quick battery change on your little on that little microphone you have hanging there You know I think it would be interesting for you to actually get a real microphone that had you know of course maybe your voice is too deep and you need this little one of those teeny little uh That's one Lavalier mic hold on that's one

29:00 By the way, while you're changing the batteries, let me get this sheet of paper I had. And that's two. We're done. Okay. Oh, nuts. Because I have to do the transmitter and the receiver. I get to show to myself for a minute. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Very, very disturbing notice, John. Yeah. I don't care about your by the way. We need to really break the show for this. Of course, it could only happen in Chicago. At the University of Chicago, a molecular genetics professor studying the origins of the plague died last week. Malcolm Casadabin, professor, he died. But here's what I thought was weird about that. The minute he died, they pulled down his website.

29:50 Do you think that's weird or do you think that's SOP as in standard operating procedure? I think it's SOP because there's something fishy going on because generally speaking, I've followed, you know, these guys will drop dead and you can still find their website. Find his research, right. No, they took away his research because he was working with the plague, the actual plague bacteria and they do an autopsy and like, well, we can't find out what killed him except for this plague that was in his body. What's funny about it, he supposedly was working with a non-virulent plague, some sort of a mild plague. All we have is mild plague. Which apparently wasn't that mild because he dropped his finger and boom, he's dead. This is not good. This is really not good. And there's more plague news. But of course, when you see that coming from Chicago, that's what really

30:42 freaks me out a little bit. Yeah, when did the University of Chicago become a center for medical plague research? Then we have, this is from Reuters, a mosquito-borne African virus, it's still loading here, so I'm gonna give you the name, it has a name that I didn't recognize, I'm sure you will. Oh come on, you bastards load. Oh now, oh of course, don't tell me that all of a sudden the story is gone. Are you googling while we're at it? No, I'm logging on. Okay. Well, so it's still loading. Anyway, there's this story. I'll probably be someplace else. But yes, I do, you know, by the way, I remind people out there and I remind you to over at it save your story. Save them. That is wild and weird. Save it. Save

31:30 page as and put it in a folder and keep it because i think it disappeared the drop of a hat happens all the time dateline friday september eighteenth washington according to reuters the united states and europe face a new health threat from brain mosquito born disease far more unpleasant i love that great reporting far more unpleasant than the west nile virus that swept into north america decade ago The chikungunya virus has spread beyond Africa since 2005 causing outbreaks and scores of fatalities in India and the French region of Reunion.

32:10 It has also been detected in Italy where it has begun to spread locally as well as France. We are very worried Dr. James Diaz of the Louisiana University of Health Sciences Center told a meeting on airlines, airports and disease transmission sponsored by the independent US National Research Council. We should Google that. The US National Research Council. It said the independent didn't it? Yeah. That's probably different than whatever else you're going to find. It's not a governmental thing. Unlike West Nile virus where nine out of ten people are going to be totally asymptomatic or may have a mild headache or a stiff neck, if you get chikungunya, which by the way is a horrible marketing name, if you want to launch something, you don't want to be called chikungunya. You're gonna be sick. The disease can be fatal. It's a serious disease, Diaz added. There's no vaccine. Not yet my friend. Not yet. I'm sure we'll come up with one.

33:07 The National, so it's the US, United States National Research Council. Here we go. Oh, it's a wiki page. The working arm of the United States National Academy of Sciences and the United States National Academy of Engineering. Not a membership organization. Organized in 1916. Those are the good times. In response to the increased need for scientific and technical services caused by World War I. Yeah, they probably had the fucking virus. Anyway. So I got another... we're gonna talk about this now. You might as well run. Now we're all gonna die. Let's just do some clips. Well, I got another related clip to the swine flu thing there. It's the... Swine flu?

33:59 It's a long clip. It's too long, but we can break it up as we go along. I want to remind you, this is interesting because this is the local news, KCBS. I'm sorry, not KCBS, but CBS, KPIX, local channel five in San Francisco. And they've been doing these stories, one story after another, after another. But let's start, just start this one and then we'll stop it. And I want to analyze it as we go through it. It turns out children seem to be more susceptible to the H1N1 flu virus than adults and doctors don't... Wow, this is... They change their story every five minutes. I thought it was young people. No exactly why. Mark Strassman has a story of two very sick children and two very different reactions to treatment for the swine flu. Now, roll it. So here we go. Now we're going to see a dramatized story.

34:54 needlessly dramatized. It's not real, okay. Yeah. No, I mean it's a real story. I mean they have the real person we think and the real dad and the mom but it's shot like a documentary and that's why I'm... Seriously, I'm watching this thing going, what is the deal with this? I love it. And it goes on for... This is the news. You know, they only have 20 minutes of... in a half hour space with the news. Let's stop for a second. In a 30 minute news show at 11 o'clock... It's 10%! It's more than 10% of the show! No, wait, let me break it down. You got 10 minutes of commercials, so that leaves you with 20 minutes. You got 10 minutes at least of sports and weather.

35:33 Which leaves you with 10 minutes of actual news of which this is a third. This has taken away like a third of the entire show for this one story. But you're missing the point, John. This is not a story. It's actually six commercial pods bought by the CDC. Don't you understand? They bought it. They bought it. Take him to the ER immediately. They said we're going to have to admit him. They said you get a very sick boy. There was nothing I could do except for pray. That's what I had. Always believe in yourself as much as others believe in you and I believe in you, Tony. Wait, who's that? That's the dad in front of... Oh my God! Crying in front of his kid. Hugh Esselstyn sits for hours encouraging his very sick son. You take it from me, we're gonna fight this together.

36:22 Above is sedated son Tony photos of the all-american 10 year old Tony got the h1n1 virus last Sunday and began fighting for his life Dude, what is an all-american 10 year old? It means he wasn't born in Kenya Just outside Tony's mother Lizzie Espenbaum keeps around-the-clock vigil I'll talk go in and talk to him, but I start crying so easy and I don't want him to hear me crying. I Carolyn Howard. What is with the drums? I love that! That's awesome. Let's just do that again. Let's stop there. First of all, I don't want to take away the fact that maybe... From the kids sick, yeah, of course. Kids sick and these parents are... Miserable. They're devastated. Miserable, but I have to say this. Both of them are being exploited.

37:11 Well, all three of them were being exploited. and and they bring up the volume up and down and up and down on this mic to breathing machine which is going pump pump pump pump pump which sounds like drums which dramatizes the whole thing. Now don't forget this is going on for three minutes and 17 seconds. And by the way can I just point out when it comes to news reporting It is the lowest form of editing typically that you will see anywhere. It's boom boom It's a very set formula you get like some b-roll you get the voiceover you get a quote you get b-roll with a voiceover you get a quote but to actually go and to Dramatize and enhance the sound of the breathing machine and edit it in this thing was done if this took a while

38:06 This took a little bit of time to put together. Okay, this took a long time to put together. It was done by the network it turns out and when you hear it, what really got me, I mean I was watching this thing casually until they said one thing which I think is coming up. Oklahoma City. This isn't even a local story. This is a packaged story that is shipped all over the country. I'm sure it's been seen other places besides just my station about two kids in Oklahoma City This is what they have to go to Oklahoma City to find this story because that's how rare these complications must be, it seems to me, if I was going to deconstruct it.

38:43 But I'm now I'm completely irked because why is my local station? pumping this story at me and You'll figure it out at the end and I don't want to say to anybody not to get a vaccine if they don't think they should Get why I do don't get a vaccine don't write a business for this This is so orchestrated that is getting on my nerves in a big way, but play the keep playing I just want to hear that that breathing machine. I start crying so easy and I don't want him to hear me crying Carolyn Howard's daughter, Leticia, is another critically ill H1N1 patient in the intensive care unit of Oklahoma City's Children's Hospital. You gotta fight through this, baby. Heavily sedated and clinging to life for the last three weeks. I love her hand. Three weeks?

38:06 This took a little bit of time to put together. Okay, this took a long time to put together. It was done by the network it turns out and when you hear it, what really got me, I mean I was watching this thing casually until they said one thing which I think is coming up. Oklahoma City. This isn't even a local story. This is a packaged story that is shipped all over the country. I'm sure it's been seen other places besides just my station about two kids in Oklahoma City This is what they have to go to Oklahoma City to find this story because that's how rare these complications must be, it seems to me, if I was going to deconstruct it.

I start crying so easy and I don't want him to hear me crying Carolyn Howard's daughter, Leticia, is another critically ill H1N1 patient in the intensive care unit of Oklahoma City's Children's Hospital. You gotta fight through this, baby. Heavily sedated and clinging to life for the last three weeks. I love her hand. Three weeks?

39:26 Wow. At home, this 10 year old loves to sing and dance. But in Oklahoma, one of the state's hardest hit by H1N1, Leticia got sick and never got better. Hold on a second. Oklahoma is- I thought they stopped counting. They stopped count- How do they know? Oklahoma swine flu. That's bullshit. Yeah, duh. Hold on right here, Oklahoma. What do they have? Nationwide are tracking and investigating human cases of the strain. They've got nothing about hardest hit Bullshit this machine called an ECMO may be her last chance it Oxygenates her blood acting as her heart and lungs to give her sick body a fighting chance I

40:22 Oh, this is heart-wrenching. Tony's room is on that side of the nursing station. Leticia's room is right over here. They're 40 feet apart, but doctors say their chances of recovery are miles apart. We're gonna pull through this. Tony's improving slowly, day by day. He's making baby steps forward, which is where we wanted to be But Letitia Howard's family knows she is not responding what explains why? One child would not responding to what John was there anything clear in the story treatment and by the way that there's a there's a subtext here the kid that's gonna survive They think oh wait. It's white. Oh yeah, and had and had the vaccine by some chance no oh

41:08 No, I've actually you are doing well and another child will be not doing as well. Great question Wow, so let me just let me just stop there for a second. So the child doing well is white The child who is likely going to die is black. That's what you're telling me. Yeah, of course this goes right back to our to our theory of How what did you call it? the binary weapon where if you're poor, which I guess is what they're saying with white and black and maybe what you're saying, I haven't seen the piece. Yeah, no, it has to be because the one girl's so overweight, she obviously has been eating McDonald's and genetically modified French fries. And the other one, the white kid, is all American by the way, so he's a healthy kid. All American. And this poor black girl is not all American?

42:02 That's what they they the implication I'm getting my god. This is actually a hugely racist piece of shit You think god damn wish me a cancer to it. Oh my god This is something that's that's new for us Leticia has weight issues and asthma oh There you go, okay. Thanks, Jen. I got it not enough doctors say to explain why she's sinking as Tony improves well first of all we know that that if you have respiratory diseases that any type of flu is dangerous to you, particularly if it's one that hits you in the chest and the lungs because it can complicate things. And if you have asthma, that's very, very difficult. So, duh, this has nothing to do with swine flu at all. This has to do with pre-existing conditions.

42:47 to explain why she's sinking as Tony improves. Wait, the doctors don't understand why? Exactly, isn't that hilarious? Dr. Dvorak, what is your prognosis here? What do you think is going on? My diagnosis, Dr. Dvorak... It's a complete mystery! I have no idea why she's doing so poorly! Something that's new for us. Leticia has weight issues and asthma. Not enough, doctors say, to explain why she's sinking as Tony improves. 43 of America's 593 H1N1 deaths have been children under 18. So far, none of them in Oklahoma.

43:28 Oh, wait a minute. I thought Oklahoma had a huge outbreak. It was like Oklahoma hardest hit. But none of them died in Oklahoma. My brain is freezing, John. Where two families are at the crossroads of this mystery virus. Oh, I love you so much, son. Mark Strassman, CBS News, Oklahoma City. Well the first dose what now now you got to listen to the clothes that the top boy coming on to put the sail screws to the public Okay, here it comes. I hate this, this has baffled me as well since when are vaccines applied through a nasal mist? Well, here's what baffles me even more when they said that this stuff, this stuff called flu mist or whatever they call it. Yeah. When did this even show up in the news? I thought we had to have two shots, two shots plus your regular flu shot, two shots, that's three shots. But you know what, now all of a sudden you spray some in your nose. Here's the setup. Here's the setup.

44:56 So now I understand why they had to get rid of the company that makes that homeopathic shit that you use all the time, which you spray into your nose. What's that company called again? Right, Zycam. Zycam. They had to get rid of Zycam because they didn't want people buying the so-called homeopathic stuff, because you know, of course, anyone who has a nasal mist you know people are gonna they're gonna market it or whatever and people go out and buy that or just be confused in general. So they had to kill Zycam. Yeah they had to kill Zycam and by the way why did they kill Zycam? They said it was because it could cause permanent loss of smell. Yeah your sense of smell. No I think this untested or at least at best poorly tested nasal mist vaccine could probably do some other damage but

45:48 But nothing for consumers about that. This is, you know, Christina and I were walking, we walked down to the bank the other day and we're walking past Walgreens and of course Christina switched on, she's like, Dad, they're selling the flu shot at Walgreens. Yeah baby, that's right. That of course is for the seasonal flu. But you can... That's another thing that's baffling me, I think I mentioned this before, I don't understand how the seasonal flu vaccine got such a head start this year. Every other year it comes out about the same. I get that seasonal flu shot. Every other year it comes out about the same time. Just around 10 days into October. It never comes out in September 15th because they can't make enough of it and whatever the process is, it takes too long. What changed? Are you thinking of getting the seasonal flu shot this year? Not this year, no. I've got enough Tamiflu and Relenza. Ah, he breaks from tradition.

46:44 Gee, you know, I just get I'm a little suspicious of the scene right now and and really fine really I Have saved at least one person I feel vindicated I feel completely vindicated that shot. But anyway, yeah No, no, well, then once you go take it big man, I could take this shit doesn't make any difference I haven't had the flu ever since I started getting that shot So there must be something to it. Not that I don't think that the whole thing is rigged. Yeah, I Hey, of course I continue to track what I believe to be a war between at least some of the Obama administration and the CIA. Although I actually believe, looking into the situation now,

47:29 I think Rahm Emanuel is probably a handler for Obama. He's probably a CIA operative and they've put him as the senior chief of staff, whatever it is, to handle him. But I don't think he's able to handle him that well. And this news story comes out in the LA Times, who I'm liking more and more because these guys, they report on some interesting stuff. seven count them seven xcia chiefs have now gone on record and said hey uh... uh... could you like a call off uh... uh... eric holder with his uh...

48:09 investigation into the CIA and the torture. Yeah, as soon as that story ran, the first thing I thought was you. Yeah, yeah. Well, this is good. I like that association. Whenever you see something weird about the CIA, think of me, okay? That's really good. So John Deutch, Porter Goss, Michael Hayden, James Schlesinger, George Tenet, William Webster, James Woolsey all said, hey, you should call this off, dude. And I have to say I'm fearful. I am very, very fearful. These guys, the CIA, who of course are, they are really secret, not just in, even their funding is secret. We don't know where they get their money from. Congress doesn't approve their money. Do you know how the CIA is funded, John? Don't answer because you don't know.

48:55 I don't actually know. I mean, they're supposed to somehow get something from the general fund, but I don't know how. I don't get it either. Oh, please. Dude, it's from the Madoff funds. That's how they get the funds. That's why they had to suicide all those guys. That's the connection. That's how they get all their funding. So what do you suspect could happen here? Well, a couple of things could happen. First of all, we're in a very, very interesting place in time where Obama is warming up to the Russians we have Israel oh my the link wouldn't work and of course thank you don't you don't need to remind me I should have actually saved it I think was an Israeli publication in English though someone in the Likud has said you know it looks like we're gonna have to attack Iran sometime around December

49:51 You know, I think it's well during the holiday shopping season. Yes Good one John You know, the CIA is now building the largest presence anywhere in the world in Afghanistan according to the San Francisco Chronicle uh... there so they're they're clearly expanding and it's well known that the the the links between the cia and the mossad you know just looking at what obama is doing i it just feels like more and more war and then we have all this weird shit going on like uh... but then we talked about the uh... uh... there was a that's a so-called thwarted attack

50:39 on uh... on the president when he was in new york to do is uh... his wall street talk they uh... they've rated some guys and i think was brooklyn or the bronx or somewhere like that well these guys turns out are from denver have you been following us to this little bit of this has been on uh... on tell him no actually have not been following that at all okay let me give you the uh... the link here This is from Reuters. The guy's name is Zazi, which is why you know the Zazi thing. Yeah, okay So so this is this is what I what I don't get and the story is that the guy has links to al-qaeda links to al-qaeda He's a native of Afghanistan. He's an airport shuttle bus driver in Denver and I'm sorry he's from Denver and

51:29 He was living in Queens. So they suspect this guy of links to Al-Qaeda and he's not arrested. He's just walking around. He's like, oh I'm not talking to you, to interrogators anymore, just talk to my attorney. This is a weird ass freaking story. Really, really weird. If someone truly has links to Al-Qaeda and suspects you of something, then they should be locking this guy up. But he's not locked up. He's walking around, news cameras are following him, he's like, you know, and he's like, it's almost staged. Well, I think that, yeah, staged, or the guy is 100% CIA.

52:07 Well, staged. Yeah. And of course we know that he's from Denver, we know that the new CIA offices are in Denver. They're moving everything to Denver to that weird underground facility with all this crazy art. If anything, I'm worried that we are potentially looking at a repeat of Northwoods, which happened during the JFK era and not long after that was kind of foiled. uh... jfk was assassinated are you familiar with northwood's john l no it is in the day legacy dash is a book no actually it's in the uh... it's in the jfk yet you know in ninety seven or ninety eight they released to the jfk archive uh... missing i could find it for you anyway northwood's was uh... what we call a a classic

53:07 What happened here? Why did that? Somehow my session got killed. It was a classic false flag attack where the idea was, you know, to make it look like Cuba had attacked or was going to attack and therefore we could go and grab Cuba. So, you know... It was going to attack. Attack what? I don't know. Attack a jellyfish. So that's kind of the feeling I get is a repeat of history. And I fear for our president and Glenn Beck, both. Kind of at the same level there. Yeah, no, I think Glenn Beck is being set up for something because I've never seen a guy make a move. He's been on the air for years. Wait a minute, before you go, so check it out. So here's how it could work. And I don't think anyone in America, if you're an actual American or just have a love of this country, would want anything to happen to our president.

54:07 But my feeling is we're being set up and here's the setup. By the way, it was fun to see someone, who was it? Oh, it was that douchebag Bill Maher actually called out the Kanye West-Taylor Swift extravaganza as another fueling of the fire for racism in the United States. He says, oh, here's a black man taking the award away from a white woman. This guy is a huge troublemaker. And wouldn't it be horrible if there was a setup, if there was a false flag attempt planned and it was going to be blamed on racism? This is what, if you want to bring down a country, do that. Do something to the president, say it was a racist attack, and then just step back and watch the shit fly. This whole country will come down in seconds. And that's what I'm really worried about.

55:04 That type of takedown. Yeah, I'm not thinking that's gonna happen. It's a good setup though, man They're setting it all up with all the racism shit douchebags are setting it trying to I think most people aren't even paying any attention That's the joke of it I mean they've got the public so dumbed down that except for a few people that listen to our show and contribute mightily and a few people that watch, you know, that I don't even know what else you can watch it you can trust. Somebody brought it up on one of these shows and I thought it was interesting. They called it One Country and Two Cultures. And this is what I was trying to point out when I was asking people about who heard about the Acorn tapes over at the office. Nobody heard that, but they all knew about Kanye West and how he was mean to Taylor Swift. You could probably talk to the same group of right-wingers that all know it all, but worked up about the Acorn and the Mets.

55:55 major media is not covering it and it's a disaster and you can ask them about Taylor Swift and they won't even know who she is. Although Glenn Beck made a good point or he's starting to make a good point he's hammering it over and over he says we should stop calling publications like the New York Times mainstream media it's fringe and when you look at the numbers he's right He's right. I think that's a that's actually a pretty good point. You know, how's his job Jay Leno doing? Has he dropped down below 5 million viewers yet? Well, I know he dropped down to like 30% the second night. I know more than that. I thought he dropped down by like 40% didn't he went from 18 million to 10 million. I think he's leveling off. So we'll know I give him another week and then we'll have a real number by the way. Another fine NBC production that used the NBC orchestrated

56:46 uh... kanye west taylor swift controversy or controversy i should say to try and uh... boost his own ratings now that said by the way uh... there is a somebody came up with something on one of the shows saying that the reason that we NBC is so pro-Obama. It's not really about Obama, it's about the cap and trade. It's GE! It's GE! And GE will benefit enormously if they can come up with, if this passes. I'd like to get some links to some documentation that indicates this conflict of interest. I have a, this is from a couple weeks ago, I'll look it up.

57:30 has been telling at certain company events, has been talking to their employees about, you know, we really need, you know, of course, employees can donate to to politicians. Of course that's how it often happens if you look at donations, you'll see a whole bunch of people from one law firm or from one Wall Street firm. So GE of course has a couple of employees and they're saying you know you really should support these politicians because they're working on legislation that will benefit General Electric. And that of course is a huge conflict to be saying that.

58:11 I would think. Okay, so I have some documents on that. Well, it's just that they own NBC and NBC News and MSNBC and they have, you know, Rachel Maddow and what's his name, we got the big head. Big head, Olbermann. So yeah, you know, so for them to be saying that, that's, I think that's a pretty big deal. I can probably look it up real quickly for you. While you're doing that, by the way, you might as well also go to your email and get the message from Ray The radio guy, dot com guy, and he has sent you, he went and did the reversed, the yes we can, yes we can thing and has a clip that has it going both ways that he actually did, we can trust. Ok, hold on, let me just download this, here we go. Yes we can, yes we can. Thank you Satan, thank you Satan. What the fuck? No, nice try. Oh, here it is. Yes we can.

59:10 Now you say now you say thank you Satan. No, it sounds like saying Matthew say it's not as good Well, he also I think the thing was tweaked. Let me listen again. Yes, we can Yes, we can so the thing that he did wrong though is he he reverses Thank you Satan and that doesn't sound like yes, we can he reversed it in the wrong order, but let's listen again Thank you Satan Thank you Satan Yes, we can Yes, we can. Now you say.

59:46 Man, you say you know if you if you have a little bit of Obama's drawl I think it actually might work John I can hear it I can hear Thank You Satan and if you have a little maybe and by the way he had to practice right you know They don't just make the guy president like that. It's like dude. You've got him. You've got to practice this Yes, we can it's got to be drawn out. Otherwise. You don't get the Satan in the reverse You got to work on it Ray thank you. That's awesome Not as clear as Obama's, he says, but they are both phrases twice forward than reverse. Yeah, I buy it. It sounds a lot like it. Alright, well we'll stick with that story then. Yeah, it's going to be my ringtone. What are you talking about? We'll stick with that story. This is the biggest story of the decade as far as I'm concerned.

1:00:41 Yeah, heck with all that CIA government takeover stuff. I can't I can't find yeah, really who cares who gives a shit about that? I can't find the the prompting employees. I'll have to look that up. We'll do it on on Thursday show So there's a big stink about the fact that San Francisco's got these just just started and exactly who approved this or whatever I'm not sure. I'm sure they split it But the San Francisco airport spent a hundred and ninety thousand dollars of the taxpayers money or those fees that they add to your every flight you take for a climate passport kiosk.

1:01:20 So when you go past security checkpoints, you'll see these. They're in the Terminal 3 and two or more in the International Terminal. It's not in the International? I haven't seen anything in the International yet. Well, there's supposed to be two in the International Terminal someplace and there's one in Terminal 3. And it's apparently, you go in there and you punch in your flight and it calculates how much carbon credits you should probably donate to this company so they can plant a tree. Well, I see that stuff on checkout on airline websites all the time and they actually have a little link there so you can go and buy your carbon credits. Somebody did the calculation, I can't confirm it, but they said that if you actually did a real, you looked at the real carbon credit trading that's going on, you're paying 60 times more

1:02:05 than you would if you actually were trading. Really, you don't say. Yeah, it's amazing. Who knew? You gotta love it when you see a news story like this, John. I know where you're going. On Monday, August 17th, Monsanto chairman, president and CEO Hugh Grant, which by itself is just funny, sent a letter to his counterpart and competitor DuPont board chairman Charles O'Holiday Jr. claiming that the chemical giants actions were quote misleading to the public and a serious breach of business ethics far beyond honest competitor be hit competitive behavior I'm sorry wrong one this is the one I meant

1:02:53 Hello, Kettle? This is the pot calling. Yeah, I blew the punchline. Well, you sure blew that joke! Yeah, I did. But, uh... My God, I mean, this is crazy! They're calling each other names and being misleading to the public. These are the most evil corporations on the planet fighting it out publicly in court and in the media about dumping toxic chemicals, bribing top officials in the Indonesian government, employing children in India, and oh yeah, killing people. It's just outrageous. Is that the story you thought I was gonna do? Yeah, it was as soon as you played the Monsanto jingle That's the only Monsanto story we have in the can. I know there is another one. Oh, well, give it to me Yeah, the other one here from Associated Press chemical German chemical company BASF, which I thought they only did like videotapes Yeah, that's what that's it how stupid am I I thought BSF was like a high high-end audio company and

1:03:57 German chemical company BASF says it has received US approval to market a new herbicide to battle broadleaf weeds resistant to a chemical commonly used in herbicides like Roundup. So this is basically Agent Orange. Oh God, BSF said Tuesday the Environmental Protection Agency has approved its Kicksor, I love the name, Kicksor, Kicksor, Kicksor herbicide for use in four products that will be offered this fall. Hey EPA, way to go guys, thanks. Expected sales should be 200 million by 2012. Growers discovered that some broadleaf weeds have developed a resistance to glyphosate

1:04:40 which is the chemical that Monsanto first patented and used in Roundup. BSF says Kiksor herbicide will attack those resistant weeds. And here's the kicker, a Monsanto spokeswoman declined immediate comment. So that doesn't sound good. So, you know, finally Mother Nature takes over and says, okay, we're just gonna stop, you know, with with this glyphosate and we're just, you know, we've got to build some resistance against all this crap. And then BSF, oh, no, you don't. We're gonna come out and kill you. We gotcha. We gotcha now.

1:05:18 And the EPA, boom, just approves it. Yeah, that's that woman in the EPA that I detest. But even though glyphosate, and the huge story about that a couple months ago, is known to kill unborn babies. It's hugely toxic for fetuses, for unborn children. Hugely toxic. And the EPA is like, yeah, oh yeah, we'll approve that. Sure. How much of that $200 million in sales am I going to get? Please, if you haven't had the chance, Go see the informant it opened on Friday I have not seen the movie and I'm kind of afraid to but the general story will give you enough background if you don't feel like reading the book to see exactly how these huge corporations which screw us

1:06:02 screw us out of money through price fixing, lying, corporate theft, you name it, and get away with it. And just get away with it. And of course the little guy in this case, Mark Whitaker, who was a kook by the way, which is why the book was hilarious, and it's a true story. And I'm sure the movie really plays off of that with Matt Damon playing this whistleblower Mark Whitaker, who of course was actually embezzling money and doing all kinds of crazy shit. and was just a psychopath. He gets, you know, like 10 years in federal penitentiary and all the guys who were doing all the actual price fixing, you know, go to the country club and get off and there's, you know, minimal fines and ADM, Archer Daniels Midland Corporation continues to sponsor programs on public television because they are America's supermarket. Well, since we're... If you want to go in that direction... Let's just play that NPR clip again

1:06:58 from last week. I love it so much. Well let's go do a better, well yeah, okay play that one first and I have two more clips related to it. It's actually PBS, this is the chairwoman. The CEO. CEO of PBS. National Public Radio. So this is, you know, remember we take donations which comes out of the goodness of your heart. And they are supposed to be taking donations out of the goodness of your heart. But for some reason it seems more like, well, she tells it herself. It's really good for you but it doesn't go down very easy. Is that the best news? Do you think that's the best news channel? No, no, wrong one. Is that the wrong one? Yeah. I don't have that. I didn't reiterate that clip. You have to go back and get it. No, no, I thought I saved it specifically.

1:07:40 No, what you're playing is... Oh, no, here it is, here it is. It is NPR. I'm sorry, I got it. My mistake. Okay, moving on to money. How are NPR's corporate underwriting revenues holding up in the recession? So once again, this is National Public Radio, who are supposed to be existing due to your generous donations and grants from foundations, because they're a non-profit with great looking offices and automobiles. But listen to the actual answer and what about foundation grants? two different stories Underwriting is Underwriting is is down. It's down for everybody I mean this is this is that this is the area that is most down for us is in is in sponsorship underwriting advertising

1:08:24 Call it whatever you want. Call it whatever you want. Yeah, we'll just call it advertising. Okay, call it whatever you want. We're calling it advertising, lady. And by the way, our donations, actual true honest donations are up. Not much, but they're up. No, they are up. Yeah. Okay, Joe. I think people are finding the show valuable. You know what I think is probably you know maybe I think it may be because we're just like a like it's just a no I mean, we just have a lot of annoying information. We may have a hit on our hands John Let's keep it up. So play the one now. There's two of them that I've got there I think one of them that you started the one you just started to play I want to play and I want to get set it up first This is again from that Bill Maher show that had Kathy Griffin. Yeah

1:09:08 All of a sudden around in the roundtable panel Kathy's all of it out of the blue starts babbling about what do you think the best news is? What do you think the best news is? PBS PBS PBS. Oh, yeah, PBS. Oh, yeah National treasure Play it it's really good for you, but it doesn't go down very easy. I mean That's a thoughtful. Do you think that's the best news channel? Absolutely news hours? ABC Alright, National Public Treasure, National Public Radio. Thank you, great fact. Yes! Oh yes! Oh yes, it's a National Treasure! Oh yes, let's applaud for NPR! Yes, National Treasure! Okay, so now I'm going to go back to that press meeting at the National Press Club. And what I find interesting is that the president of the National Press Club who's asking the CEO all these questions,

1:10:02 I think she's supposed to be a reporter, but she's just like some very kind of mousy woman. It's kind of embarrassing. She asks a question, doesn't quite frame it just right, but I'll tell you what the question is supposed to be. she's got this woman she's not she's gonna give it to her because it's not as quick as she can again with one of these questions and so she says well you know it's interesting that you've just laid off sixty people but meanwhile you're building new digs down the street that are worth a fortune that's the new kind of come to grips with this yeah that's the huge television studio they're building for their big news show which is a national treasurer

1:10:43 NPR laid off in excess of 60 workers but NPR is also moving to grand new digs in 2-3 years. I'm sorry, what did I do wrong? At the beginning we stepped on it. Okay, ready? Yeah. NPR laid off in excess of 60 workers but NPR is also moving to grand new digs in 2-3 years. Please explain how you can afford... Did she say grand new instead of brand new? I think she said grand. Grand digs. Digs by the way is a journalistic term. Yeah, and it's a term the elite are using more and more these days because they heard about this website called Dig and thought it was kind of cool to use digs. NPR laid off in excess of 60 workers but NPR is also moving to grand new digs in two to three years. Please explain how you can afford the new

1:11:32 Well, the moving date is up in the air for one thing. But we did, what's happened is we, earlier this year, before the, actually, in some ways it was a very good thing that it happened before, you know, the economy went like this. We bought a, well, it's a building that would become, that would be torn, that would be reconstructed into a new headquarters in, what do you call it, the new NOCO, NOMO, NOMO, thank you. I've got to get my neighborhoods right. And we sold our building at 635 Massachusetts Avenue. We were actually either really lucky or really good or both because we sold it at the top of the market and got a good price for it. So now the economy has gone down and we are evaluating our options about how we raise money for the new building, but we've got this nice

1:12:26 What does that have to do with 60 people who were laid off? We have this nice cash buffer from the new no-co, no-mo, no-mo, homo, whatever she's called. These people are, they are elitist, they are scammers, they are thieves, they are corporate shills, they are holes, I tell you. They are complete holes and you should not be listening to them. Car talk is kind of interesting.

1:13:13 But I mean seriously, doesn't anyone see the obvious corruption and just look at turn on PBS, listen to NPR, listen to all the huge corporate sponsors or whatever you want to call it like advertising. Please get a freaking grip. This is not a national treasure, Kathy Griffin. Your tits are a national treasure, nothing else. Maybe. They're nice. So, um, they're pretty good looking. But the point is, and the funny thing was, they asked her, there's another clip I have to go back and recapture because it was a very funny question. They asked her something point blank about something and she said she had no answer for it.

1:13:57 And it was like she didn't obviously didn't know about it. And you sent me that whole thing I'd love to hear the whole recording. I owe the whole record I'll send you the whole thing It's rich and I'll put it up I'll put a link in the show notes so people can listen to the whole thing and so it's obvious that at this point in time I think we should just reiterate once more. This is the entire reason why John and I chose this business model We don't feel we have to work for free We might as well be working for free because we ain't making that much money on donations, but it's okay It's coming in and it's growing and as long as it's growing I'm really really happy because it shows that there are people out there who want to participate in this form of media this format which

1:13:13 But I mean seriously, doesn't anyone see the obvious corruption and just look at turn on PBS, listen to NPR, listen to all the huge corporate sponsors or whatever you want to call it like advertising. Please get a freaking grip. This is not a national treasure, Kathy Griffin. Your tits are a national treasure, nothing else. Maybe. They're nice. So, um, they're pretty good looking. But the point is, and the funny thing was, they asked her, there's another clip I have to go back and recapture because it was a very funny question.

This is the entire reason why John and I chose this business model We don't feel we have to work for free We might as well be working for free because we ain't making that much money on donations, but it's okay It's coming in and it's growing and as long as it's growing I'm really really happy because it shows that there are people out there who want to participate in this form of media this format which

1:14:37 requires very little investigative journalism on our part it actually involves the entire audience as producers we do have to sit through a lot of C-SPAN find a lot of boring shit it alienates our families it really does it really does. Why are you watching this crap? Exactly. Why are you watching these old dudes? Nick, who runs production at MeVio is like, dude, why are you watching these old dudes? What kind of show is this? I'm watching C-SPAN. Why are you watching these old dudes? This is no good, man. Turn on Bravo. So we go through all this, but it's working. If anything, and I just want to plug a book. No, it's not going to be Atlas Shrugged. I do want to plug, I'm about halfway through it. It's a fun book to read.

1:15:26 uh... although dan brown is often been you know debunked as being historically incorrect in cetera just the entire idea behind uh... his new his latest release the uh... the lost symbol uh... which i picked up at the airport it's a it's it's only in hardcover right now but it's a it's a quick read i have a real problem not visualizing tom hanks continuously throughout the book but in some ways that kind of helps but it's a it makes a little goofy But the, forget all the Masonic stuff and everything which I'm sure a lot of it is based on historical fact and there are a lot of, you know, we know that some of the founders were Freemasons and there's a lot of Masonic symbolism in the United States. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1:16:07 But the basic idea that there is a consciousness of awakening amongst citizens, I do believe in some form is happening. Maybe it's a little bit of the tea baggers. I think a lot of it is people just understanding that the media is feeding us shit. Yeah, or maybe, have you considered the possibility that Dan Brown is a mechanism? You know, Dan Brown was sued by one of my bloggers and who's also a wine expert, the guy who wrote the book on the French conundrum, you know, why the French lived so long and they blamed it on, figured out it was wine. And he wrote a book that was very similar to Dan Brown's other book, ended up suing him and suing Random House, found his place

1:16:52 you know, bugged with all kinds of weird devices and he lost his suit, he got thrown out, it was a very sketchy situation and I've always been suspicious when I think Dan Brown does now shows up at all. Well let me answer that. Yes, I not only consider it, I believe he's a total plant because it's just like white you know why and that's why I call myself the crackpot because when people come up with really wild conspiracy what was immediately deemed a conspiracy theory the easiest way to get rid of that person is to minimalize him By saying, oh that's just crazy. So it's better to put out something very close to the truth and say, yeah it's just crazy, it's just a crazy story, this Dan Brown, he just made it up. Of course he's a plant. And it's much easier to put the true information or information close to it out there and then just discredit it and just write it off as fiction.

1:17:46 That's how it's been working for years. So yeah, you're absolutely right John. The guy is no savior He's a douchebag. I'm sure like Damien Hirst another douchebag. Did you hear about that? But just to close out Damien Hirst So you know Damien Hirst is this crazy artist who makes stuff like a stuffed calf with golden hooves and then sells it for 40 million dollars. He had this exhibit in the UK which I think was called The Shop and it was basically a shop. It's like a convenience store and that was his art exhibit. And some kid who's also an artist stole a box of pencils

1:18:27 from this shop and then he put it on the internet and said, oh, you know, I've got some art. I've got this fantastic piece of art. It's this box of pencils. And Damien Hirst had him arrested because he said the box of pencils was worth 250,000 pounds as a part of his art exhibit. It was just a box of pencils, right? Yeah, it was just a box of pencils, yeah. But it was in his art exhibit and it was stolen so ergo it was worth 250,000 pounds. And the authorities came and arrested the kid. He's in jail. He's in actual jail for stealing a box of pencils. Why didn't they just say to Damien Hirst, hey, I got an idea, go to the store, buy another box of pencils and replace them.

1:19:07 So anyway, there's all these crazy business models, just to bring it back. Ours is, please help us donate some money. $60. Michael, we had a lot of interesting people from all over the place. And any more $31.14 that us boneheads couldn't figure out as pie? Oh yeah, $31.14. Well, it's because everybody complained to us about the $314. Thanks.

1:18:27 from this shop and then he put it on the internet and said, oh, you know, I've got some art. I've got this fantastic piece of art. It's this box of pencils. And Damien Hirst had him arrested because he said the box of pencils was worth 250,000 pounds as a part of his art exhibit. It was just a box of pencils, right?

He's in actual jail for stealing a box of pencils. Why didn't they just say to Damien Hirst, hey, I got an idea, go to the store, buy another box of pencils and replace them.

1:19:07 So anyway, there's all these crazy business models, just to bring it back. Ours is, please help us donate some money. $60. Michael, we had a lot of interesting people from all over the place. And any more $31.14 that us boneheads couldn't figure out as pie? Oh yeah, $31.14. Well, it's because everybody complained to us about the $314. Thanks.

1:19:44 Michael Sorensen, $50, he's in Helsing Denmark and his name is Sorensen with the O that's got the line through it which is not an O, it's some other kind of weird character. What is that called you know? It's an O. It's not an O, it's an O. And then we got Melanie Hartness from Weyburn, Saskatchewan, which brings our female listenership up to eight. Hey, we're doing well. A hundred dollars. Oh, thank you very much. That's a double whammy right there. It's a double. Yeah, it counts as two. Jeffrey Leonard, 6550 out of Reston, Virginia. And since he's in Virginia, Reston, you know, it's got a lot of spooks in that area. I don't think Jeffrey's one necessarily, but he gave us 6550, which is code for something. Yeah.

1:20:30 Yeah, you know please guys in that little comment field when you donate tell us what your what your code is You know, we might even we might not even read it on the air But it's still important to know what the code is But anyway 6550 which probably means get off the air and Dvorak and curry. Yeah RJ you have to look it up in the CIA manual RJ Haggadah's in spring, Texas nice little town 5432 I've given up. I've just given up on all these numbers. Okay, 54.32, we'll figure it out later. Ricky Pierce, Sydney, Australia, $50. Jason Anderson, Riverside, nice little town, they got a University of California campus there, $75, which is good. Cody Brown in Bowden, Alberta, and I believe it's pronounced Bowden, B-O-W-D-E-N. Sounds right. Leanna Riley,

1:21:22 Which I believe is a female. Now we have nine. Nine women. John, who gives a shit about the money? Let's just get more chicks on the show. Wollner Australia. She's down under as it were. She's a shayla. A shayla. From down under. Nick Rogers in Basingstoke Hampshire. Which I think I've been there. Daniel Boyd, 6550. Again. Hello. Again that number. and he's in lexington kentucky that's the second time six i would anybody goes election to make sure to go to the the house that house the uh... you big kentucky senator or the content of the kentucky car he was that i know for what fact that he he was the above brother of one of the great senators henry clay and his name was cash is clay and he uh... had a uh... he was a bit uh... the master russia for a while and if you go to this house you'll see a a cut out of it news article

1:22:19 Now Cassius Clay, you remember, was Muhammad Ali's real name, or initial name, and he changed it when he became a Muslim. In the Cassius Clay house, there is a news article from back in the 1800s discussing the famous potentate from Ethiopia or something coming to visit Cassius Clay, and his name was Muhammad Ali. Really? I get the sneaking suspicion that Muhammad Ali himself, being Cassius Clay, would have visited this place if he had the opportunity and would have seen that name and said, and then it would have stuck in his brain and that's the name he picked. I just think it's the weirdest coincidence. Anyway, I got more Cassius Clay stories. Coincidence? I think not.

1:23:04 Alto Valley from Seaside Park, New Jersey. Hey, HR 6550. That's that water act I think where the United States now owns all your water. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I think that's what it is. All right. Well, we need more 6550 donations to offset that. Yeah, that'll help. And John Kelly of Charlotte, North Carolina, 50. and i think there's some from some carryovers a kind of crossed over like i think i did them though larry corby from helsinki and john petrucci and melvin blair mention again because they'd gotten at the cost of their night can make stuff easily and i want to remind people to go to know agenda show dot com a click on the link and give us some uh...

1:23:48 Some of you are harder in cash if you think about is in terms of being essentially 50 cents in the parking meter Dude, I went to the movies last night with Christina Mm-hmm. We saw Jennifer's body which what do you think? Sure pretty good, right? Yeah, that's pretty we thought it's pretty good movie 11 bucks a ticket 11 and then you pay the $3 convenience fee for booking online So that's 25 and then we had a medium diet coke, of course Christina knows there's aspartame But she doesn't like the calories and then a medium regular coke and a bag of Jay Leno popcorn another 15 bucks So there's an evening out to the movies. What's that? Oh

1:24:31 Well, there was a lesbian kiss in the movie. I agree. Thank you. Thanks, Christine. That's my daughter. It was well worth the price of admission. What am I talking about? It was great. We can do some lesbian kissing on the show 47 bucks 47 bucks you went out for that and we're doing this show and we're asking for people to give us 50 or 100 or just subscribe for a whole year for a whole year worth of shows a year a week Which is a hundred and X 18 I've calculated it last week But Christina makes a really good point John if we had some more lesbian kisses on this show then then maybe we would get more money

Oh Like if there's a 30 second lesbian kiss, I'm like, oh my god, I'm getting turned on. I'm sitting here with my daughter. This is so freaking wrong. This is just wrong. This is so fucking wrong. But worth the price of admission.

I just got a Twitter from some guy in Sweden. I should go back to that and find the page who says, why don't you do a show without begging for money? Oh, okay. And you know, the Swedish guy would think that because it's a socialist country where they, you know, get the stuff, you know, if we're doing the show there, they'd just give us money. Right. But you know we have to be asked for money because we're not gonna be able to afford to do the show I mean, it's just a lot This is time-consuming, and you start you know we're not just generous too generous guys giving our time away No, I mean why should we why don't you go work for free swede go build a Volvo for free okay?
