Slaughterhouse Blues

00:01 This is why people need to support this show so I can quit this stupid job and don't have to travel and sit in frickin' Marriott Courtyard hotels and do BULLSHIT MEETINGS! I WANNA SHOW! Adam Curry, John C. DeVora It's May 27, 2010, time for your Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 203. This is no agenda. Wallowing in We Told You So juice and coming to you from the Marriott Courtyard Crackpot Command Center in San Francisco, California in Gitmo Nation West, in the morning I'm Adam Curry. And coming from a bucket here in Northern Silicon Valley where I sound like crap, I'm John C. Dvorak. It's Crackpot and Buzzkill! In the morning! You got complaints?

00:46 I don't even know what this sounds like but I know I sound like crap. Yeah. Well, yeah, it's not crap It's a more like doo-doo. Okay in the morning. We had a belated start We've tried to start the show a little earlier and then it it died leaving me on the air Yeah, and believe me when when the world comes to an end the last person you want on the air is John Because all he does is sing He's like he's on the Titanic On his way down. Top of the world. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hey, um, something interesting just kind of to start off lightheartedly. You know how I use the word jabroni?

01:29 Yeah, what does that mean? Anyway? Well, it's funny because I grew up with this word I remember my parents used to say it all the time and You know be kind like I always thought I meant kind of like a douchebag And I start getting email from people saying hey man, that's so cool. You use the word jabroni Because you know, I'm in the professional wrestling scene or I'm into wrestling and essentially a jabroni is the guy who loses but who threw the fight and That's what the and it comes from I guess a jabber and I'm like and then I start looking it up right and and everywhere Wikipedia dictionaries everywhere it says the word

02:09 Started being used in like 2004 2005 I'm like, but I've been using this for 40 years. So I popped my dad an email He says I don't know. I heard it from my brother who was talking with his Italian friends He says I don't know. So I sent to my sister who's been living in Italy for 20 years. She says It's not an Italian word. There's not even a J in the Italian alphabet and And I can't figure it out. Where does this word come from originally? It's a huge mystery. It's one we must figure out. Where is the word, what is the entomology of jabroni? You know, I did a column in PC Magazine sometime in the 90s, I recall.

02:54 Because I was kind of annoyed by the word nerd. Okay. And so and no one had ever done an entomology of the word. And I mean, they did, but they were all lame, lame, and they're all guessing it was almost like, you know, the, again, the 12 year old saying, I think it came from here, I think it came from there. Right. And and they were getting it from nair do well, which made no sense to me whatsoever. So I started doing as much research as I could. And I finally tracked it down. And then I checked with with Dr. Seuss from the White House literally and it came from a 1950s book if I ran the zoo that's the first use of the word nerd and I know I could find no pre dating of since night from 1950 I couldn't find anything in the 40s 30s of anyone ever using the word it began usage with this character and it was a little bitty nerdy looking guy

03:51 So it made nothing but sense to me that this was with the etymology. So it's a made up word made up by Dr. Seuss? Yeah. Cool. Yeah, so it's made up by Dr. Seuss as a nerd. And so I confirmed it with Seuss and his assistant and Geises is his name. I can't remember his first name, the writer. And he was pretty old then, but he He'd made it up and he didn't realize that it was the formation of the word nerd. I wrote all this history out. And so then, so I thought it was kind of cool that I developed, you know, found out the origins of this word. And so then I went, and then kind of the kicker to the story is I went to the Universal Studios Park in Orlando and they had an If I Ran the Zoo exhibit.

04:40 The nerd was not in it. And so you complained bitterly no doubt. Well it just seems to me that of all the things in this modern age that you'd want in this exhibit, you'd want the nerd character. What a jip. It was a total jip. Alright, I'm sorry John. All the dictionaries have changed their definition. Oh, to the entomology of... To reflect the proper beginnings. Excellent. Hey, alright. Well, while you're denying that caller, let me restart this one. I hate to say it, but John, you actually answered the phone?

05:26 Well, I gotta hang it up. Hello? And then you hang up? Is that what you do? Well, I... I... Yeah, essentially. Uh, Brett Michaels, uh, one celebrity apprentice. Yeah. Yeah. See, I knew, you know, I think we were right about the whole thing, but I was hard-pressed to agree that it was going to be that he was actually going to win too. Now it's just ridiculously over the top. Well they did exactly what I expected them to do and I could have predicted this but actually forgot to tell you that you know well our wonderful sponsor Snapple chipped in and so now you both get two hundred and fifty thousand dollars for your favorite charity and well Brett you know you're hired.

06:08 And even Holly Robinson was saying, you know, she's like, even my kid woke up this morning saying, mom, I love you, but I think Brett should win. It was like, yeah, right. But the thing that kind of got me though, and by the way, the reason why we can predict these things and you know, I saw Trump on the morning show, I saw how he was talking. I knew immediately the fix was in. It was all about ratings. This is always about ratings. Yeah, this is the easiest deconstruction to do so I'm glad it paid off for the show so we have even more credibility of guessing the winner of stupid reality shows but I looked at the ratings because of course the Final the series finale of lost competed with the celebrity apprentice. Yeah, that was a rough go and

06:55 Well, interesting. So the loss did beat out the Apprentice, but not by much. Do you know how many people watched Lost? No. Thirteen and a half million viewers versus Apprentice's 9.3 million. These are sad numbers, John. Well, in today's age. Yeah, do you know what MASH got, the final MASH? What? 122 million, that was 1983. Friends, the final Friends, 52 million. Seinfeld, 76 million. No wonder these guys have sold out. They're just, hey government, hey, want us to put some propaganda in there? Just give me some money. Just send me your cash. I need some dough. No wonder television's so crappy with all the million commercials. They're broke.

07:48 They have too many commercials, they can't seem to get anyone to pay a CPM that's worth a powder. That's a cheap in the product. That's part of part of the CPM is cost per thousand actually They don't do it on CPM. They do on a gross rating point in the in the television world, right? but it still has an equivalency in a way and In a way, I know nobody uses CPM for anything except for stupid internet advertising No, actually even most of that's always based on some other cornballs formula, but CPM still has the most meaning to me the engagement factor How much engagement do you have I don't know

08:26 I got a 3.7. Oh, you have a 6. Oh, a 6 on the engagement scale. Hmm. To me it seemed like there was a lot of real news this week, which usually means... You know, that's all I've got for Clips is real news. Something big is being covered up. Hmm, let me think. Maybe something in the Gulf. I can't quite think. Are we trying to distract someone from something? Let's do our executive producers first. We have them? Yeah, we got a few. Okay. So listen, we have we have two executive producers, John, I think it's Reichert or R I C H E R T. R I C H E R T Reichert. Yeah. And from and he's from New Orleans. New Orleans.

09:14 33333 dot three three those magic numbers thank you so much we appreciate that and also we have a belated executive producer who we forgot to credit under some circumstance Stephen staff and he gave us three four two ninety is there a reason for that I don't know. Interesting amount? Not that I know of. I think it was to round out, I think he's got a knighthood coming or he's working on it or something. We'll find out after the show. And so does John, of course, John Reichert, because you know, you only have to do three times three hundred and thirty-three, we kick in the extra penny and you get a knighthood. Yeah, typically. Do you have any knights today? No.

10:06 uh... lawrence reich one of our night sir lawrence from burlington ontario canada is a uh... associate executive producer two hundred fifty and uh... bradley leaden l e d d e n from fayetteville arkansas uh... two hundred dollars and fifty cents he's got the link to the two hundred dot five show but uh... by accident apparently and so he signed up and decided to pay for it after the fact. So that's our group for this week and we have to thank them for helping us out. Well not just helping us out but really supporting the show and in fact John Reichert, Steve and staff as our executive producers please display that proudly in your email signature put it on your CV.

10:56 And Sir Lawrence, well I'm pretty sure he already has all of that done, but it's beautiful to see the Knights continuing to support the show along with Bradley Ledden. You know what you guys have to do, you gotta go out there and propagate the formula. It's very simple. Our formula is this. We go out, we hit people in the mouth. Yay, we sure do. New World Order. Alright, chatroom, let's do it now. Shut up, slave. Alright, I just gotta get it off my chest right now. Right now! I'm sorry to have to do this. I don't know if you... We watch everything. We watch C-SPAN. We watch stupid shows. One stupid show that I just cannot help myself not looking at is...

12:02 The uh, that Kendra Wilkinson reality show? No, I can't, I, I, whatever they show on the soup is all I see of it. Well, you're gonna want, you're definitely gonna want to go to vivid.com. Uh, because in order to- Now! Well sure, in order to boost the ratings, uh, I guess, a sex tape has been leaked and Vivid Entertainment of course has the rights and they've put it on their site. And actually, here let me... I should just... I like the vivid thing with the Batman in the Batman costume. Of course he doesn't have the Batman logo, he's got XXX. I just Skyped you a link where you can actually see a little piece of the Kendra sex tape. This is a bogus thing if there ever was. Poor woman trying to get attention. Dude, dude, I just sent you a link. I'm looking.

12:59 This is no bogus sex tape. This is excellent. Are you watching? It's gonna kill my stream, but... It's worth it. It's so totally worth it. Did it kill it already? No, it's actually still working. I don't know for how long. Okay. Oh yeah, this is like the real sex tape. I'm surprised they have it on the internet. That's stunning to me. All she's doing is staring in the camera. Oh yeah? Wait. Well now she can't stare into the camera. Now she's looking at something else. Just drop dead. Alright, alright. Kill it. Just kill it.

13:46 Now I can't, it's locked up my brarigo's. Oh, sorry about that. So yeah, so this woman who was living in the house with the other two women for the... Yeah, she's with a football player now. Now she's just trying to do... you know, she's hopeless. She seemed like a dingbat anyway. Yeah, well, she's got something going for her. I've got a gig in mind. Yeah. Well John where that's pretty late bill news well, I got better stuff than that well. I got good stuff. It's just I am Let's just start with the oil cabal because there's been that that has been I think the topic of the week and there's so much confusion um You know it's all over the map

14:40 But the funniest thing had to be um meet the press which actually took place I guess it airs right before our show on sunday. So we never get to talk about it So we're always uh after the fight and then when we I've actually it airs a couple times But I've recorded it before our show then I do the show and then I go back and look at it It's so bad. Yeah, it's so lame compared to what we bring out in the show that I never use any clips Well, I got a clip. Um from Sunday's show. It's just too funny. On the show is Thomas Friedman, a spy, Spy spy and Bob Woodward spy I And they're talking about the oil cabal, you know, you know that book that one book we mentioned before the one that what was that book about the bushes Oh family of secrets family of secrets people should you get that book from our from our one of our bookstores and no agenda book club calm

15:36 And read the part about Bob Woodward I mean they have they document his background to such an extreme that it's like, you know, it's it's it's over-the-top proof Oh, yeah. Well, so they've both been giving their talking points and Friedman is okay. I just got to call him a jabroni. I have no other word for him I'll have to stop and comment when he talks but then Woodward starts talking and it's like the spy is like what anyway just have a listen they're talking about the fact that So of course the Obama administration is not doing anything and this is a horrible disaster and this is the round table at the end of the show. Well obviously there's short term solution, long term solution. Short term obviously you've got to stay on BP and stay on the situation. We've got an oil spill, it's about a mile below the surface.

16:27 It's about 60 to 70 miles offshore, so it's hard to see. And we don't exactly know precisely what environmental damage it's going to cause, but this is enormous and has the potential to be the worst environmental disaster this country has ever faced. My criticism of the Obama administration is their approach has been think small and carry a big stick. Okay, hammer BP put it all on them. But in terms of thinking about a long term solution to this, it's been rather imaginative, unimaginative, David, we're really caught right now, I would argue between petro determinists and eco pessimists. Okay, petro determine, petro determinists, and eco pessimists.

17:09 I had to say, I'm an eco-pessimist. You know, this is the kind of stuff that does show up in government meetings. These words are terrible. Well, he explains them as well. This is interesting, trying to get some memes into the public domain. One of them Also, the think small carry a big stick. Petrodeterminists, which is going to be hard to explain, and eco-pessimists, these are all good. These are done by pros. Yeah, here he comes. He'll explain it now. Petrodeterminists and eco-pessimists. The eco-pessimists tell us, David, Paul, you're dead. You're dead. I'll talk to you, but you're dead.

17:50 The petrodeterminist tells us, look, we're always going to have to be dependent on oil, little boy. Nowhere in the middle is someone who actually believes in America, America's innovative prowess, that over time, there is no short-term solution to this. But our addiction to oil, drives down the value of our dollar, funds people who have drawn a bullseye on our back, promotes climate change. Do you hear all this stuff? Do you hear what he's throwing out there? It puts a bullseye on our back, it promotes climate change, there's no one in the middle. And it drives down the dollar, which is ironic since the dollar is starting to skyrocket. It despoils our environment and having a policy that ends our addiction to oil, it's not win-win. It's win-win-win-win-win. The fact that there isn't a single person in Congress really taking this seriously and the president is playing kind of rope-a-dope with this right now. Another one, I've heard this a couple times, the rope-a-dope. Yeah, you know what it refers to?

18:50 uh... no okay well to explain rope it don't refers to a uh... a boxing defensive strategy employed by muhammad ali against joe fraser in one of the group one of the great fights at the two of them had And what he did was he leaned up against the ropes and held his arms up very tightly around his head and tucked a little bit so you couldn't really hit him anywhere except in his arms. And the idea was to get Frazier to pound away on him, although Frazier got a number... To tire him out, right? To tire him out. It's called, it was the rope-a-dope strategy and it's been used as a reference point

19:27 in political discussions and everything else and the idea is that you don't you know you can just cover you cover up and then just take a lot of shots without doing anything until people get tired of doing it to you. Interesting. Yeah. Oh, okay. I'm extremely frustrated. It is a potentially... Here comes Woodward. A giant disaster of the May... I mean most disasters come and go. 9-11 came and went okay. What oh yeah, oh yeah, this is why I'm gonna. I'm gonna roll that back just a little bit, so he's comparing this disaster to 9-11

20:06 Which came and went. It came and went, and you know of course, you know... It hasn't went yet! It could... It came and went, we never talk about it at all. WTC7 won't go away! So it just came and went, but this one, oh no, never let a good crisis go to waste. This one, we'll be able to use this shit forever baby! Oh yeah, come on spook, say it again. 9-11 came and went, okay, this continues. And I picked up your newspaper on Saturday and had half a smile because it said, BP steps up its effort. And then I read on to Chris. So before I continue, I just need to stop at that again. I mean, please listen to what he's saying. They're using this disaster for whatever they want to do.

20:57 Whatever has to happen, and I believe of course it'll be climate change as the president is now coming back from his rope-a-dope. and saying oh it's funny because the freedom in early when he was talking about the eco pessimist he almost slipped it in if you go back and listen to that is his definition he's he almost mentioned global warming but he pulled back just briefly just briefly yeah he was just gonna say something and then he pulls back from it because there's apparently wasn't well it wasn't part of the talking point no no no it's that was Woodward's line They rehearsed before the show. Oh, I took it. The Woodward's one is supposed to be. Well, Woodward said something even better, which just slays me when you hear this. Criticize others and point the finger at others and blame everyone. Where are, you know, why don't they call in Google? Why don't they call in some of the people who have these great minds? What? Let's call in Google to fix the Gulf. You know, I've never...

21:54 It's all in Google. What a rube. Google! And actually, you know, the guys at the agency are slapping their foreheads when they heard that, right? Oh my god! I'd already stopped my clip recording, but I think someone on the panel kind of says in the background, well, Google's not part of the government. And I'm like, yes it is. Yes it is. Bring in Google. That's where these guys have their meetings with the NSA. It's just like whoa, whoa So more propaganda and then I want to get into what we are. So what are they trying to do?

22:34 What's the end game? What are they trying to pull? Well, let's listen to this ABC News report and maybe that'll add to our analysis of it. Now, this is CBS News. And by the way, I like how all the news reporters who are down there in the Gulf and you see way in the back, it's always windy and it's like a crappy day and you see way in the back, you see like a little bit of ocean, I guess Gulf. And they all have hats on, they're wearing baseball caps, that seems to be the new fashion for the reporters on the scene. So here we have the reporter with her cool CBS, it may even be a CBS sports cap for all I know. And she's talking to Katie Couric and this is where the Coast Guard rolls by and says, get out of here, shut up slave, you can't report on this beach.

23:23 It's BP's call. BP can tell you what to do. Just showing you the power of British Petroleum. Listen, you'll hear the Coast Guard actually say that. It may be a little tough to hear on the stream. Here we go. Video was shot by the local parish government in South Pass. When we tried to reach the beach, seen here and covered in oil, a boat of BP contractors with two Coast Guard officers on board told us to turn around under threat of arrest. This is BP's call. We spoke to Coast Guard officials today. They say they're looking into it. Katie? And Kelly, what has been the impact on wildlife so far? Government officials say that 162 sea turtles have died.

24:10 about half a dozen bottlenose dolphins have died. The sea turtles have not been thoroughly examined yet, but federal officials say this seems related to the oil spill. And they admit they have no idea what's happening in the deeper waters because they can't watch it. So they're showing pictures. So she says here's the beach covered with oil and it's an aerial shot which is kind of hard to see. Then they show a dead turtle. who looks pretty dead and they show a couple of people on a beach putting a apparently a dead turtle into a it's like a turtle body bag but there's no oil on them and well you know they're spraying that weird crap on the oil which could be toxic yeah so there's a couple things so first of all

24:57 I'm just, you know, if you're going to show me, so she even says in the report, you know, we don't know if the turtle died because of the oil or is it the dispersant I think is what they're using. Yeah, dispersant. Yeah, we need to get the chemical analysis of that stuff so we can do a little research. But why am I not seeing the animal covered with oil? And why is it when I look at the pictures, because all we have is pictures, right? I'm trying to get people who live in the area to go down to the beach and actually take some pictures because I just don't want television footage. Well, you know, it's 60 miles offshore, which is a problem. No, no, it's onshore now. This is what the news is. Well, they say it is, but the stuff that I've seen, I've seen some movies and it's always this red goop, which is a combination of the oil and the dispersant washing up.

25:43 Yeah, but when I look at the Exxon Valdez and all the wildlife pictures we saw there, it was jet black. Yes, because there was no dispersant used. So you're saying it was right offshore. It was like, you know, here's the shore, here's the boat that's right next to each other. And so you get the real deal. You don't get it. You don't get an emulsification issue over the oil mixing with the water You don't have the dispersant goo whatever that is and we don't even know, you know There's just a lot of mysterious stuff going on. And by the way, I was watching, you know, they got that camera on that somehow they know no somehow Take a look at the film very carefully. It's a loop. Oh

26:22 Yeah, oh, I know well, so this is my next point. It's a loop. Yes. I know it's a loop It's an it's absolute bullshit. It's absolute bullshit and by the way what? 5,000 feet down what kind of lights they got on this thing? They had to have some lights hooked to it That's well lit. They only shot it for obviously shot it for a while because I watched it especially the lower little plume, there's two of them, there's a big one and a little one. The little one you can see it looping. It loops about and it's not even a big loop, it's like a 20 second loop. Maybe not even that long. So here's what I've learned. What BP was doing with the trans-ocean deep water drilling is they were trying to replicate something the Russians did, I think up near Alaska, or the North Pole I guess it would be. The Russians

27:18 Apparently drilled down to 40,000 feet and then and then and they and that's where they discovered like the mother load So apparently inside the earth and God knows what's going on inside the earth That's where oil is actually created So there's a lot of discussion now about, you know, peak oil being BS, that it's not fossil fuel but it's actually a chemical process within the earth. Or biological. Completely, you know, super super high pressure. By the way, no one talks about the pressure of this leak. Normally they do talk about pressure but they're not talking about it. And then that seeps up into these other wells where we've typically been able to get the oil from which

28:04 In some cases may even replenish as well. So they try to do the same thing except the Russians did it on land They're doing it in the sea. So the first have to go down 5,000 feet and I guess that where they're drilling is, you know It's also some geo has some geological significance. It's on the same Meridian as the pyramids and there's a lot of interesting data that's starting to come out slowly and They go down 35,000 feet. This is not 5,000. This is 35,000 after they start at the bottom of the gulf at 5,000. And there are some people thinking that they didn't hit just an oil well, but they might have actually struck an underground volcano. And if that's what it is, this stuff that would come out of a hole from a volcano could be highly toxic, could be worse than oil.

29:00 And she can blow it any time. It could be some sulfur gases for sure. Yeah, that could be bad. So I'm looking at the, Bite Law sent me the liquid that they're using to disperse it. It's a Corexit 9500, which has a lot of, I can see they don't want, you know, it's not good for your skin. It's a de-oiler. I mean in other words, it's like a detergent. I think it's just a high, a very strong one of these organic detergents that the oil business, I used to work at a refinery and we used to deal with this stuff. If you get it on you, it will defat your skin. That's how powerful it is. So essentially what it does is it's like, if you have a, for example,

29:48 you just cook some bacon. I wish. You just cook some bacon and if you notice that depending on the temperature of the fat when you take the thing off the take the bacon out you got a bunch of fat left you you hit it with some dove soap and then you scrub a brush around it and you'll notice that the fat actually dissolves with the soap because the soap that is essentially the same thing that's going on and with this stuff which is it it breaks down the reverse It breaks down the oils into something that's water soluble and then down the drain it goes without having to worry about it coating the pipes.

30:26 And that's what detergent does to oil. And essentially it breaks it down into a soluble product. But this stuff is probably a million times more powerful than the crap that you would get, that you can use on your pots and pans. But it's the same thing. I think it's a detergent, but it's got a lot of propylene glycol in it, which would kill the turtles. And it's got Organic sulfonic acid salt which is the which is the one of the detergent elements and then a bunch of it has some apparently some light petroleum products in it, which would lighten up the thickness of the crude oil make it more subject to To being turning into an emulsion of some sort. Yeah interesting. It's probably not good stuff No, so I'm looking at the news right now and it seems that their top kill plan has worked

31:22 that the drilling fluid has blocked oil and gas temporarily. So that's breaking news right now. Temporarily? Yeah, oh well of course it's... duh. So and it's just there's so much weirdness going on. I listened to the talking points from Woodward. You know it sounds to me like whether this thing is leaking or not it is going to be used to ram through the climate change bill. The president already coming out with that left and right. Oh, we've got to stop. We've got to stop our dependence on foreign oil, fossil fuels, no good. And that perhaps is, well actually here's a little video from Obama. Let me see. We have a word in Toyota called Kaizen. Oh, Jesus. I've heard that commercial, it's terrible. Interesting that the president is preceded by a Toyota pre-roll. That would be your

32:24 Irony of the day. Yes, okay here it is. We need a jingle for that by the way. Irony of the day? Yeah. Okay, hold on a second. Come on, play! Our dependence on foreign oil and dame... Alright. You know... I can't play it. The connection is too poor. Sorry. I can hear it. It's breaking up and then someone from the office is calling me like some douchebag like don't you know what I do? I've been doing this for two and a half years! Stop calling me! And I keep sending text messages to Rosie whoever's calling me tell them to stop It's funny. It's not funny. Well. It's funny to me. It's angering me Yeah, I know you're better on the show when you're mad. I need to quit this job Please support this show. You know we need more money than we're getting for you to do that and

33:20 uh... all right so i guess that they have a good clip from congress word organized is kind of a bring up the points that we brought up recently in cannabis flyways talking to the to the uh... attorney general's office was dorgan by the way i guess one of the senators and he's one of the guys if you see dorgan on the tv he said one of the few centers he looks like a uh... central casting senator always cute No, he's mature. He's not like Fred Thompson. He's not like a young cute guy. He's a central casting, older, mature senator. It looks like he knows what he's doing. And he's bringing up some interesting points that he just wants to get on the record apparently with the Attorney General's office.

34:06 The comment just made that BP has indicated that it intends to pay all legitimate claims. Obviously the question is what's legitimate, but aside from that... Sorry, I have to stop. What's legitimate is laid out very clearly in the amendment to the environmental protection law. They only have to clean up around the rig. There's a fund a 2.7 billion dollar fund that taxpayers put together That will pay for the rest and and then all other litigation just stays in litigation for 30 years Is the BP Is their representation legally binding in any way

34:51 Legally binding on them. They've simply indicated that they would intend to pay legitimate claims so Six months from now a year from now is it why don't these guys read the law? This was set up during Clinton's time. And who do you think should be reading the law back to him, but the Attorney General's office listen to what he has to say? Is that a legally binding commitment? I don't want to make a judgment as to how that commitment might be viewed in a court of law down the road. They've certainly made that commitment very publicly, as well as publicly committed not simply to pay claims beyond the $75 million, but not to seek recourse against the fund, which is also a significant commitment.

35:30 So we intend, whether it's in a court of law or elsewhere, we certainly intend to have them uphold that. He's freaking out from the fund there you go it's from the fund So you intend to represent that commitment as something that's binding As I said, I can't speak to whether or not it would be binding in a court of law if we were to litigate this down the road Hold on a second. I think I can play it Yeah, in other words, this is all the whole thing has just been a show. It's just been that the whole thing's a production and the news from Dow Jones Transocean limited

36:12 This is the owners of the rig said its shareholder approved $1 billion dividend. That means money they're giving back to shareholders will not affect the offshore drilling contractors ability to meet its legal obligations relating to last month's Deepwater Horizon rig accident. These guys are not worried. Well, there's more to that. Dorgan actually brings this up and Horowitz brought it up on the last DH unplugged. uh... they i have some money in the bank and just in case things don't quite work out right they wanted get that money out of the bank into into the you know of all the different shareholders pockets so that so they can't use it to do it to the u s government can't get a hold of it if they if they manage to do one and they want to secure it get rid of it put it on the somewhere else

37:03 Do we also it's just that's just a scam but they're supposed to supposedly put a stop to that not let them do that But it's a Swiss company. They can do whatever they want. Yeah located in Zouk Do you want to play the rest of this clip or no, it's fine. I think we got enough out of it Yeah, so but it's the same kind of goes it's kind of an interesting plotting just the guys in one the guy are you know our people from the Justice Department were just not forthcoming in any way about any of this in other words the taxpayers are gonna get screwed and Taxpayer will get screwed but the oil companies have already set it up. They don't have to pay for it. It's all coming out of the fund. The fund will have to be replenished. They're only responsible for certain bits. It's all in the law. I discussed it probably a couple weeks ago and the crisis that is bigger than 9-11

37:50 Will be used to ram which came and went by the way. Yeah, it came and went you know no one's talking about that anymore No one's ever mentioned it it came and went actually I didn't have time to pull clips. Do you know Alan? I think it's Alan Hart No. He is a BBC journalist. He was the guy who was always, back in the, he's been reporting on the Middle East since the 67 war. He wrote a trilogy of books called Zionism, the true threat to the Jews.

38:28 which is like, alright, kind of an interesting title and of course he's getting no play in the New York Times with a title like that. And I heard him on some internet radio show. This guy, he was the first one to interview Golda Meir and Moshe Dayan and he was around when the USS Liberty was bombed, which he says Israel did. And he actually came out and I'll put a link in the show notes. I just didn't have time to... Is it Alan Hart? Yeah, I think it's Alan Hart. Yeah, well the Liberty bombing which was done by Israel has been a bone of contention with the US Navy for some time. Right. Well, he actually... He was there! And he explained... It was on the ship? No, it was not on the ship.

39:17 But he explains how all of that went down and what the political reasons were and he actually says it was Mossad who did the 9-11 attacks. He comes out and he accuses Mossad. And this is a serious ass journalist. This is not just some douchebag. This is like a real dude. Alan Hart. I find that far-fetched. Well, he has... Get the clip, we'll listen to it. Yeah, I'll pull it for Sunday. So anyway, so yeah, we're being played and this is uh, so of course it'll be temporarily plugged and it could blow at any minute and we're gonna have, it's just gonna be a constant threat that's hanging over us. And we never want this to happen again and uh, and that's why we carry a big stick.

40:08 Yes, but we who is it think wimp and carry a big still was that think small and small and carry a big size that what I don't even understand what that means I don't know man the CIA doesn't get everything right. No I think they I think These writers didn't get everything right and they botched the phrase so let's You know since we were talking about some of these finales You know that took place and the lot last law and order took place and the whole thing was kind of about the educational system And it was a little propagandistic to say that I did not see it, so I don't know it was actually it was a good stuff you're fairly good story and it brought out a lot of interesting points about the about the way teachers are treated in New York City and

40:51 And but the big one of the big finale's I don't know what the numbers were I should have checked Was 24 and 24 ended up, you know, just kind of like Jack Bauer, you know saves the day But he's now gonna be killed by the Russian mob and who knows who so he has to go on the run and the last we see of Jack Bowers he's all beat up and running into the Sunset and we'll never hear from him again because this is the last time they're gonna show 24 until they do the movie. Yeah, really? Now, but there was a day I couldn't resist getting this clip clip from 24 Which just had a piece of that what we like to criticize on this show that bullcrap You know a forensic crazy Zoom in on the reflection on the wingnut exactly here it is Just spoke with Arlo he got a facial recognition hit on Jack Insider perimeter

41:47 He's here, Cole. He's been careful to avoid all the security cameras, but Arlo found this. It's from the 22nd floor of the Hart building across the street from the UN. Software picked up his reflection. Facial recognition through the reflection is on the 22nd floor. He's here. He bypassed it. Well, you know what? That is intended purely to make you think that it exists. Are you still with me, John? No, of course not. Why would that work? This is gonna be one of those shows. Let me just Mark that as a bullshit Okay You there yeah, so I I just want to gripe for a moment This is why people need to support this show so I can quit the stupid job and I have to travel and sit in freaking at Mary Hotel and do bullshit meetings

42:56 That's the beginning of the show. You have to use that clip. I won't even have time to edit it because I got another meeting! We can squeeze in another meeting, can't we? So how do you really feel about meetings? Blow me, Dvorak. So here we go. Ready? Yeah. So you want me to set it up again? No, I'll just play the clip. This is more bullshit than my job. Just spoke with Arlo. He got a facial recognition hit on Jack. Inside our perimeter. He's here, Cole. He's been careful to avoid all the security cameras, but Arlo found this. From the 22nd floor of the Hart building across the street from the UN. Software picked up his reflection.

43:48 Right. So I'm leaving so much of my rant in there. This does tie into something else I've picked up on. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. What software? I'm about to get some of this software. It's not the software running the network at the hotel, that's for sure. Right, this is the joke of it. You got software that can pick up a reflection on the 22nd floor somehow, but you can't keep the internet running at the Marriott. Yeah, very funny. Okay, so this of course is intended to make you believe that all this technology exists and make you very afraid and SHUT UP SLAVE!

44:25 There's only one thing you must do! So, I hate to do it, but I think I can tie this into Lindsay Lohan. Which of course, oh yeah, oh yeah. I can tie this into Lindsay Lohan. So I'm watching... Nothing else in the world is happening. There's no one washing away and drowning in Haiti. There's nothing going on in the Gulf. Lindsay Lohan is going to court. All of this, all of the... BS networks, everybody's there. Not just E, but ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox, everyone's there. Okay, so here's the things you got to look at. They should be ashamed of themselves. Well, yes. So first of all, there are cameras in the court.

45:10 So the court wants this to be seen, okay? There's no other reason than someone wants to communicate a message. Lindsay Lohan comes in, her boobs are popping out. I mean, she's got a low, she's got a short bum. Yeah, I saw that. And nice boobage, by the way. So I'm like, okay, they're trying to communicate something. She looks a little kind of semi-stoned. And essentially, and this is, you have to help me with the law here John, and then I'll tell you where this is leading. So the judge says, so the whole thing is based upon a DUI, and she broke her parole, and now instead of throwing her in the slammer, she can't drink alcohol. Now I don't understand, alcohol is a legal substance, it's controlled, but it's a legal substance, and you can drink alcohol as long as you don't drive.

46:04 Okay, but now she's being told she as a part of her punishment She can't drink It's just like a parent taking away a privilege Oh, and if you don't clean up your room, then you can't watch television. And then I see all these talk shows discussed or panels Like major networks talking about scram scram scram like what is scram? So I look up scram and now I've got it. This is the true slave device If you go to alcoholmonitoring.com, Scram X, continuous alcohol monitoring plus house arrest. So there's this device which is now like a common thing all of a sudden. Everyone, hey, well, she'll just get the Scram device. I'd never heard of a Scram before. Apparently 200,000 people in the United States under court order are wearing a continuous alcohol monitoring and house arrest system on their ankle. What is this?

47:03 If you break the law because you're drunk and you're driving and you're a menace to society, then you need to be punished. But what kind of punishment is strapping an alcohol monitoring system to someone's leg? This is pure Gitmo nation. This is bad. And it's a very, it sets a very bad precedent. And I'm afraid of what it means for the future of the legal system. Yeah, I have to think about that. Yeah, no, I found the thing peculiar that this you would have this device if you're right the whole thing was a setup to promote This the the the idea was to make the public aware and you can't do it anymore through the educational system And so the idea was is to do a big publicity thing put cameras in the courtroom They won't put cameras in the courtroom with a menace to society. That's a terrorist But they will with this Lindsay Lohan thing to get the cameras in there. They show there with the breasts You can't take your eyes off them

48:01 and then they talk about this monitoring device which I've never heard of either but now apparently it's being used all over the place and now it's going to be part of a You know, they're just strapped. Pretty soon they'll have something they'll strap around your neck so if you protest the government they'll give you a jolt. Star Trek, you know? No, they've already moved beyond that. They just shoot you. If you're against the government you just get killed. Are you kidding? I'm looking at their press releases. Tulsa courts have been using 24-7 alcohol monitoring anklets to monitor offenders since 2005. Offenders, you're drinking alcohol. Shut up, slave! You can't drink alcohol!

48:41 I mean, it's like, it just doesn't make any sense. Here, alcohol bracelets helping to keep veterans sober and accountable. Uh-oh. You vets have fun. Uh-oh. Courts tell Texas offenders stay home, stay sober. I mean, come on. If you break the law, okay, then you need to be punished. But stay home, stay sober, shut up, slave? This is very ominous. Something going on with that that stinks and they're trying they're totally trying to communicate a message to us and I'm not liking it. I am NOT liking it. This is frightening.

49:27 Well, while you're talking about that, then I have a couple of things that kind of, again, we're starting to see government intrusion in all kinds of different ways. Let's play this clip I have, which I don't have the whole clip. I could have put the whole thing in because it's very distressing to hear this. Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. Did I? yeah okay nice woman is a senator in the hall and was fairly teamed up with uh... with senator collins and for this in love collins amendment which is now the collins in the hall from and that but it has to do it trying to clarify some weird crap that the e p a stride to do regarding nothing more then a whole you know you do right now people are re added to the fixing their houses up uh...

50:12 What's the word for it when you bring a contractor in and they put a new porch on or something like that? Remodeling, expanding. Remodeling. This is about remodeling. Now the EPA has decided, of course we've been following this since the beginning with this woman Jackson, how the EPA is starting to stick its nose into stuff that's not really its business. Play this clip. This is the problem that we have. On April 22nd, the EPA came out with a rule that made the statement that in the event we have to, you disturb any six square feet of a building structure that is older than 1978, then you have to have a permit that would be from the EPA to become certified to work on such a building. Now, if you don't do it, there is a penalty provision

51:03 of some $37,500 a day. Realistically, we know that they would not find somebody $37,500 a day. But unfortunately, a lot of the contractors that do that kind of work are individuals who don't know that that is nothing but a bluff to keep people from doing things. We very much want to participate in this dialogue on this issue. I think there may be a procedural problem that someone's whispering about here. Is that right Mr. President? Okay. So, so apparently there's this thing that got slipped into one of these large bills. Just one little thing that we don't know about. Among you know hundreds and there's a lot of this as the cap and trade is going to have even more of this crap. So you have a house that's older than 1978 which is most of the houses in the country.

51:57 and you want to work on more than six square feet of this house you have to have a permit slave you have to have not only a permit but the person has to be certified by the EPA as a specialist we're talking about like one guy you know some guy some handyman coming in and to do anything you have to have all this extra paperwork and which brings me to another point which showed up Which has to do with the Food Modernization Act and Mimi's all over this because we use, we get our meat in Washington State, we get it from individual slaughterhouses, these small operations. By the way, nice double speak, food modernization.

52:40 the food modernization act right now and there's a good article which I sent a link to you put it on the show notes talks about this this issue which is going to basically put all the independent slaughterhouses out of business Right now there's four major big shots that control 80% of all the US meat supply Tyson foods JBS Cargill and national beef and these are the guys that get all the big giant recalls for millions of pounds of Contaminated beef and they did just like water off the ducks back. Okay, we'll bring the million pounds back No big deal because these guys are you know, Tyson and all these huge companies Cargill and

53:17 are just basically dominating the scene and trying to put these little guys out of business. So the back, you know, the eat local, the back to nature, you know, have no meat the cow that you're gonna eat, all these things are gonna go by the wayside if Obama's administration has its way and they're just gonna move. This group is worse corporatists than the Bush's were, even though you have to say most of this started with Bush. I mean this is a disaster. I mean so I won't be able to, in fact Wyoming right now because of some of these rules and restrictions doesn't even have an independent slaughterhouse. If you shot a deer in Wyoming you wouldn't be able to find anyone to butcher it for you. It's unbelievable.

53:59 Yeah, and this is part of the same thing. You can't work on your house. You can't do something with six square feet of your own home. You can't work without a license. You can't eat meat from your own, you know, you raise a Hereford and you want to have it slaughtered? You can't do it. There's no place that will let you do it. You can't do it. What are you going to do? The cow, I guess you have to bury him whole. I have no idea what you do with these animals. They're trying to get independent, they're trying to wipe out the independent free thinkers the farmers a small farms and everybody in between by putting these things in place my wife when talk to the local slaughtered house uh... you were in port orchard i believe uh... washington a talk to the guys at the the set the guy says he'll be out of business even if he did the cost they say in the in this report is this four hundred thousand dollars a year to to do the paperwork and and and and pay for all these permits

54:48 And he says the worst part is not even the amount of money you have to spend, but they want you to get this bureaucratic paperwork in during the busiest season when all the animals are actually coming through. He says there's no time in the day. He says there's no chance of staying in business. This is very familiar to me because this is exactly the way Gitmo Nation Lowlands is. It's exactly the way Gitmo Nation East is. So I'm talking about the Netherlands and the UK where I lived. You need paperwork for everything. Everything. Particularly in the Netherlands if you just want to remodel your home, oh my god. Oh you need all kinds of permits and paperwork and yeah and now it's the same thing. It's total, total takeover and in fact

55:33 I'll play this little clip for you from our vice president who tells you who's ruling all the world damn it who's really in charge Come on, Joe who's in charge as you? This is Joe speaking in Brussels to the Starfleet command the European Union already know ladies and gentlemen Not only am I pleased to be back here in Brussels for the second time as vice president as you probably know I some American politicians and American journalists refer to Washington DC as the capital of the free world. But it seems to me that in this great city which boasts 1,000 years of history and which serves as the capital of Belgium, the home of the European Union and the headquarters from NATO, this city has its own legitimate claim to that title. That's right, capital of the world! We'll tell you what to do, slaves!

56:30 Shut up! He actually said that. Yeah, yeah. That's disgusting. Please don't break up again. Please come back to me, John. I just want to cry. Please, John, come back. Booyah! Unknown error. Jesus. I can't work like this. I just can't work like this. This can't go on.

57:25 Now, it's not the hotel internet because you can hear me. I just want to do the show. This is so unfair. Dude, was that you? Hold on. Now, did you go offline? Yep. What happened? Comcast went down. There's a Bessarabian like a son of a bitch out there.

58:06 I'm just crying. That was my fault. When he came back I thought I was gonna be gone. Yeah, oh that would really suck. Let me play Biden again so you can hear him handing over power to Brussels to the Starfleet command there at the European Union. You guys rule and let me go suck up to you and the Trilateral Commission will rule the world. Please, I'll be your slave. As you already know, ladies and gentlemen, not only am I pleased to be back here in Brussels for the second time as Vice President, as you probably know, some American politicians and American journalists refer to Washington DC as the capital of the free world.

58:51 But it seems to me that in this great city which boasts 1,000 years of history and which serves as the capital of Belgium, the home of the European Union and the headquarters for NATO, this city has its own legitimate claim to that title. That's right. That is unbelievable that a president of the United States would essentially sell out his own country to get some kudos from these creeps in Belgium. Or a vice president even, yeah. It's unbelievable. Yeah. You know, how come the talk show guys haven't been all over this quote? Because they're too busy looking at Lindsay's boobs telling us to wear bracelets not to drink. Capital of the world. That place, I mean, the whole European Union is suppressive.

59:42 They don't even let them vote on their own lesbian treaty. Or their own president of the United States of Europe. No, no, no, no. They don't let you do any of that. By the way, I'm going to, next show we're doing on Sunday, I'm going to deconstruct part of a news story about this Slaughterhouse thing. Because there's some very interesting... whoever wrote it, I can't give you the name of the writer, Carolyn Lockhead, uh... who's in the chronicles washington bureau uh... it there's a very interesting three paragraphs in here which are worth uh... tearing apart the opportunity to show people how their how this these news stories room slanted to get make you think one way or the other

1:00:27 uh... it's very interesting story but does this waterhouse thing that the you can't construct stuff on your own property you know you need a property rights are under attack it's unbelievable you know when you uh... when you deconstruct that you may want to be very very careful john because uh... the messaging is now coming out and we're being told in no uncertain terms that if we are against global warming if you're anti-government if you're a denialist You are pretty much a white supremacist. And oh yes, please listen, this is I believe ABC.

1:01:06 You will be blown away by this. The ongoing oil spill crisis in the Gulf is keeping the debate over climate and energy very much in the headlines and that debate is becoming increasingly venomous with many prominent climate scientists now saying that they are being severely harassed. Now, listen carefully. So he's receiving some emails and then listen how the story spins. ABC this is. I hope someone gets you in a dark alley. The FBI tells ABC News it's looking into a spike in threatening emails to climate scientists like Penn State's Michael Mann. Six feet under with the roots is where you should be. I was hoping I would see the news that you committed suicide. Do it. It's an attempt to chill the discourse. I think that's what's most disconcerting. A white supremacist website recently posted Mann's picture alongside several other climate scientists. There you go!

1:01:58 That's how they do it. Yeah. Yeah, I want to really behind all this is obviously, you know the way you you know This is a cointelpro kind of an idea, right? You set up these straw man these phony baloney operations and then you push everybody into that box Yeah, and oh you're with these guys, you know, you're white supremacist. You're Yeah, great. So I'm not happy. That's a good way to tell us to shut up slave. That's that's more disgusting news Thanks I'm gonna show my support by donating to No Agenda. Imagine all the people who could do that. Oh, yeah, that'd be fab. Yeah, on No Agenda. In the morning. In the morning. In the morning. Just a little in the morning to all of our international listeners there.

1:02:56 Okay, we got some donors who we want to thank this week. We also want to make a do a make good out with Tony Kalik who donated $200 on behalf of his sister Linda Kalik for her birthday on May 15th and we credited the donation to LW Corporation and he would like a belated shout out to his sister. Yeah, we apologize. We really tried to keep it all straight, but it's a lot of administration. It's not always easy. It was actually Let me see if I'm saying this right. That was like his only gift to her, wasn't it? Don't make it any worse. Is that Linda? Is that who it's for? Uh... Linda Kaelick? Yeah, Linda Kaelick. Yeah, he says it was my only present to her.

1:03:45 Anyway, let me do it properly. I feel really shitty about this. We really do suck. Hi there, Linda. Linda Kalick. It's Adam and John.

Yeah, we also have there's another one that came in I'm gonna have trouble finding so don't don't mention this a K guy with 53 33 because he sent me a note that he only wants to thank dinotron

1:04:44 And that's a supporter from Pennsylvania Mechanics Berg, Pennsylvania just before because he was very specific about not mentioning his name But he messed up what he wanted to say on the PayPal. Hmm. Okay, so we got let's go someday we got Jamie Riera from who was actually I think I don't know how many space in Spain's and in San Fernando de Honras, Spain. I'm trying to think if we have any other Spanish contributors. He says he's donated $100 but he wants to make sure he remains a proud douche. So do not be douche. Double douche you. He says I'm funny like that. I guess. Yeah, duh. Nice.

1:05:37 uh... my nickname is the spanish e transcription of a hot of how fucking asshole sounds you can see i'm not particularly sensitive about names night he's a person arma okay they also suspect you might get mentioned in some of your united states of europe stories in the near future so he'll be feeding us interesting anecdotes. Good. I'm assuming. We like it. We like it. Yeah, especially from Gitmo Nation castanets. Gitmo Nation castanet. Okay. That's good. Michael Kearns, Mike Kearns in Platte City, Missouri, 6969. He's providing this amount so you both don't go down

Leicestershire. Yeah, Leicestershire. He liked to call out his high school friend Thomas Duckett as a douchebag. For not getting in touch for two and a half years, He knows he listens to NOA Agenda, but we haven't talked since he left high school in late 2007. Hopefully this should get us in contact and maybe bring in another donation for the Army. That's an interesting way of getting people together through our show. Yes. Like-minded people. It's a long-distance dedication. Right here on the NOA Agenda Show.

1:07:18 tiny empire.com 5550 10 to nickels on a double nickels on a dime David Hollis more well Australia I got an Australian story I want to talk about today Robert will wheelchair or Wilker wheelchair I think in Tampa and we had the dinotron mention yep and then Dan Manning who wants to mention two sci-fi books, Android Down and Firewood for Cannibals, both available at Amazon.com. Links to both these books are found at the danmanning.com site. So we have a science fiction writer that listens to our science fiction. Martin. Martin, this is that last name I can't pronounce. Oh, let me grab it. In the Netherlands.

1:08:13 $51 P I E T E R S which is like Peters or something like that. Peters from Fianen, Utrecht. And then we have Steve Richards in Kent. and give me a chance to mention his website which is now being blocked off by the sun there it is cosmic joker dot square space dot commies this is a crackpot site and then we have our knighthood layaways uh ui dash help.com barry wilson and okc defensive tactics um and there's one more there's another uh birthday mention that came in on the email i forwarded to you guys

And now I got a garbage truck going by as the garbage is the 1034 garbage truck that goes. Why do garbage trucks have to be so noisy? Yeah, it's the same as leaf blowers. So we also highly appreciate all the support from the $5 a month donations those on the lucky $30 a month plan that really is building the base we appreciate that and unlike well time to play a jingle unlike our national treasure

1:11:21 We don't take ads and sponsorships and underwritings and so this is the only way we can survive and I wish we could do it better more and from a fixed location. I'd appreciate support and of course thanks to everyone who understands the call and is supportive today. That is highly appreciated. Now I want to mention something we're talking about the national treasure. I couldn't believe it. I'm listening to the National Treasure. Wait, let me play it again. It's new. Our National Treasure. NPR. That's Sir Jeff Smith there. Yes. Yes, NPR. So I'm listening to NPR. I couldn't believe it. They did, right in the middle of their shows, this operation that's supposed to be users, we are listener supported.

1:12:06 And then we talk about stuff that you know, they probably gonna eventually get us thrown off the air someday You have to help us. It's very important. So the National Treasure meanwhile, they're running ads like during the show They ran I swear to God a go-to-meeting ad with a code. Do you have a clip of that? No, I was in the car women so it's on the radio on our National Treasure and And in the middle of it they do like an Andrew Horowitz go to meeting with PBS? With a code. I'm not gonna tell you what the code is but... That's outrageous! These guys are just commercial! It's totally outrageous. I was like my jaw hit the gas pedal when I heard that. What the... What? Go to meeting in the code? So I mean, so who are we kidding here?

1:12:55 I mean, we are, that I know, we're actually genuinely listener supported. We have no other support to do this show except the contributors, the producers, the people out there who send in subscriptions or donations. We have to keep encouraging it every week and we do would like to get everyone back on board on the $5 a month thing. That would be the key, but we don't get as many as we need on a daily basis. So that's our plea. Let me see, it was news for a day, 24 hours and it went away. But I do think it's important just to mention this Fergie thing. Oh yeah, Fergie, that came and went. They couldn't get any traction for a distraction.

1:12:06 And then we talk about stuff that you know, they probably gonna eventually get us thrown off the air someday You have to help us. It's very important. So the National Treasure meanwhile, they're running ads like during the show They ran I swear to God a go-to-meeting ad with a code. Do you have a clip of that? No, I was in the car women so it's on the radio on our National Treasure and And in the middle of it they do like an Andrew Horowitz go to meeting with PBS? With a code. I'm not gonna tell you what the code is but... That's outrageous! These guys are just commercial! It's totally outrageous. I was like my jaw hit the gas pedal when I heard that. What the... What? Go to meeting in the code? So I mean, so who are we kidding here?

1:12:55 I mean, we are, that I know, we're actually genuinely listener supported. We have no other support to do this show except the contributors, the producers, the people out there who send in subscriptions or donations. We have to keep encouraging it every week and we do would like to get everyone back on board on the $5 a month thing. That would be the key, but we don't get as many as we need on a daily basis. So that's our plea. Let me see, it was news for a day, 24 hours and it went away. But I do think it's important just to mention this Fergie thing. Oh yeah, Fergie, that came and went. They couldn't get any traction for a distraction.

1:13:44 No attraction for a distraction. That's a good one. No attraction for a distraction. That's a good one. We're writing the jingles right before your very eyes. Unbelievable. So I do just want to say that of course this is how it works. Of course all these lower level family members and it happens in all the royal families all over the world. It happens in the Netherlands too. Of course they'll take cash and blow jobs to get you in with their more famous, more powerful What do you call them? Spouses or whatever. Relatives. Spouses, relatives, siblings. Of course that's the way it works. It's so obvious. And now it's like, oh, Fergie's just a bad woman. She's still living in the guy's house. You know she's probably performing services.

1:14:37 So he said, well we're divorced but you can live here, the kids are here and whatever. You can live in the gatehouse, whatever. And of course he's taking money and of course he's okay with it. And because he's probably getting half of it. No, I don't think so. He's got his own dough. The people pay for him. Well she does need some support. I mean, we're not doing that. Yeah, really. Anybody want to meet Adam? Yeah, I'm in grand footnote 40,000 in cash just send us your cash 40,000 and if you want to get close to John I for half a million pounds I can open doors for you It was just like wow, you know, you're right. It came and went but you know, this is absolutely the way it works Absolutely, and good on the Sun

1:15:28 That was funny. But of course the Sun didn't do it for those reasons. You're right. I thought it was the News of the World that did it. No, I think it was the Sun. No, I think it was News of the World. Well, that's the same company. The editorial staff is on the same floor in the same building. Oh, by the way, Eric just told me we have 12 donors in Spain. Oh, nice. We have real-time statistics. Yeah, we have the producer in the ear. Alright, let's do this one real quick John all aboard trains good planes bad Jeff must have been bored this week. I love the man. So I'll just run down the stories as you know we're tracking the global rollout of high-speed trains meant to replace air travel. Of course you think it's actually to transport you but it's to transport freight, more Monsanto baked goods, Monsanto frankenfoods straight to your door. You don't have to do anything. Shut up, slave.

1:16:33 Joe from... And to transport the public in boxcars to the FEMA camps. Yes, well of course. Joe from Wilmington. says, well my state is now spending 8.4 million dollars to study if they should put a rail system from Raleigh, North Carolina to Wilmington. This he says is a two-hour drive straight down I-40 east. The speed limit on that stretch of road is 70 miles an hour, which means most people already travel in excess of 79 miles an hour. Why would anyone ever ride this train? It's not a straight shot. They have to make a zigzag pattern and is this train not going to stop?

1:17:11 It's right. It's gonna stop. It's gonna take just as long and then when you get to the other end you have to rent the car. Yeah It's like the stupidest thing. It's stupid. Yeah, here's some disinfo Beth on Owen and colleagues note the first new projections of future aircraft emissions in 10 years predicts carbon dioxide and other gases from air traffic will become a significant source of global warming by 2050 Everything's by 2050. Yeah, so those plate those planes and planes are gonna kill us now or the Queen In her opening of Parliament statement in Gitmo Nation East mentioned they were going to build a high-speed rail network between Birmingham and Manchester to industrial towns coincidentally yes Thank you. You pointed it out and that was at the very end of the speech here on

1:18:15 I'm sorry London Birmingham not Manchester but still an industrial town that was in her speech now from down under I get some very interesting news from producer Steve Fisher he says you know I'm a couple episodes behind but you know the Siemens trains here in Melbourne are a real problem they have problems stopping and lo and behold I go look at At Google News and here the Herald Sun from Gitmo Nation down under. Here it is. Further safety blow for Metro after a crash injured five near Craigburn last night. Another one of troubled Siemens trains has been withdrawn from service after an overshoot incident. So they can't, so they're gonna put in high-speed trains but they can't stop them which is...

1:19:11 Interesting. Yeah, and Siemens is behind all our high-speed trains. We should use the French stuff if we're gonna use anything. so anyway i have a still let me just finish up the hotel be done so massy unjustice people identifying from around him a nation uh... matthew wearing also in the u k is noticing advertising on websites for her touchy high-speed trains against the other hot todd she is never repeating with uh... with seaman's and then finally uh... from uh... student the s a s uh... which of course is uh... the yes this is scandinavian airline I'll read you the headline and this is a Google translated doc experience from Europe shows that Rail will outperform aircraft on many routes SAS is responding to the challenge considering investing in high-speed rail So the airlines are actually going to convert to high-speed rail. We're just keeping our eye on it for you Planes bad

1:20:14 That's about as back ass word as any airline can manage to pull off. So I have one Australian story too. I want you to play the clip, which I didn't know this was going on, but most of us who follow some of the currency markets know that the Australian dollar has been going down the toilet. and uh... so created a gym creamer on this fast money should not fast money but is whatever it's mad money show up addresses this is kinda hard to understand to the mothers but now i'll tell you that important part which comes into this you are he's done

1:20:51 Booyah Jim. Booyah Doug. I'm a Katrina-era Tulane graduate, a currency trader on Wall Street, and I've got a question about FXA, Aussie dollar currency shares. Alright, I hope I can help man, you sound like the pro! I sound like the amateur! I don't think so. Jim. The Aussie dollar is absolutely fallen out of bed since last Monday It's getting crushed against the dollar and even losing to the euro Australia is a resource rich country and their currency is correlated to global demand for materials Which is really a story about demand from China, right Jim? Do you think the recent move in the Aussie is forecasting a double dip global recession? And how much lower do you think the FXA will trade? Well, I gotta tell you

1:21:32 I do the show with my head writer, happens to be my nephew, Cliff Mason, and he was comparing that recent foray by the Australians with that mining tax. He was doing some history about communism and he was thinking he saw maybe some parallels there. I think what you're seeing is the sense that maybe that government has decided, you know what, it's time to start doing confiscation, expropriation. They would never say that. But I think that's the real problem, not China, which is coming back, because I measure China by Baltic freight. I think the Australians ought to stop being communists, and the communists, thank heavens, in China are capitalists. Judy in New Jersey. Judy! What?

1:22:08 So apparently there's a mining tax. Yeah. That's the Kramer did by the way the first thing the guy who who called in was reading it. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Scripts totally. It was scripted. So I don't know if it was a set up or because Kramer had some other ulterior motive. But he did mention a mining tax which apparently is going on which he considers confiscation and the redistribution of wealth which is outing out communism by his standards. And I just found that the whole thing was kind of interesting because I haven't heard any of this. I only just noticed recently about the Australian dollar collapsing but something strange is going on in Australia and hopefully since we have so many supporters of us.

1:22:50 Somebody can sit can can straighten this out. Yeah. No There's a lot going on and I love Australia as you know, I've only been once but I saw a lot of the country and Yeah, no our Australian listeners will definitely straighten us out. Maybe mayor. They'll come back, you know are in the morning, dude Probably help us out This is just staying down under for a moment. I guess they have a satirical program called Clark and Daw So they did a little skit about the the euro crisis, so of course they're slapping it right back at him and I thought it was kind of funny. Maybe just play this I won't play the whole thing but most of it It's it's pretty cool. Yeah, so they do a little satire as to what exactly is going wrong in Europe And why it's all coming crashing down

1:23:46 Your name is Roger yes? Roger. Ah, that's your name? Roger. Good, and what do you do Roger? I'm a financial consultant. Ah, financial consultant eh? Roger yes. Yeah, terrific. And Roger, how's business at the moment? Not bad thank you, ah, been a bit quiet lately. How do you mean lately? Since the war, been a bit quiet. Fair enough. OK, Roger, your special subject tonight is the economies of the European community. Your time starts now. Best of luck. Thank you. How much does Greece owe, Roger? $367 billion. Correct. And who do they owe it to? Mostly to the other European economies. Correct. How much does Ireland owe? $865 billion. Correct. And who do they owe it to? Other European economies, mostly. Correct. How much does Spain and Italy owe?

1:24:33 $1 trillion each. Correct. Who to? Mainly France, Britain and Germany. Correct. And how are Germany, France and Britain going, Roger? Well they're struggling a bit, aren't they? Correct. Why? Because they've lent all these vast amounts of money to other European economies that can't possibly pay them back. Correct. So what are they going to do? They're gonna have to bail them out. Correct. Where are they getting the money to do that Roger? That's a good question. I don't know the answer to that one. How much does Portugal owe? Hang on a minute, what was the answer to that earlier question? Just keep answering the questions Roger. Where is Portugal going to get the money it owes to Germany if Germany can't get back

1:25:12 the money that it lent to Italy. Just a minute, what was the answer to the previous question? The question was, how can broke economies lend money to other broke economies who haven't got any money because they can't pay back the money the broke economy lent to the other broke economy and shouldn't have lent it to them in the first place because the broke economy can't pay it back. You're wasting very valuable time, Roger. How much money does Spain owe to Italy? $41 billion, but where are they going to get it? Correct. What does Italy owe to Spain? 27 billion, but they haven't got it. They're broke. Correct. How can they pay? So it goes on and on. That's quite funny. Yeah, the clip is pretty funny, although they wind it up by saying essentially.

1:25:49 America is going to pay for it all because China owns us. And I think the thing that is being missed here is that it's the banks, it's the investment banks. These are the guys that lent the money. It's not just governments didn't lend the money, it was investment banks who lent the money and they're going to get all the money back. And I'm watching the Gitmo Nation lowlands, they're gearing up to replace their fallen cabinet with new elections June 9th. And, you know, they're talking about austerity measures. And, you know, it's like, well, we're going to have to, people won't be able to deduct their mortgage interest payments anymore. There's new ways of taxing the people who can't afford to pay. Yeah. Yeah. Tax the poor, you know, soak the rich and give it all to government workers. Speaking of which, New York Post had a pretty good

1:25:12 the money that it lent to Italy. Just a minute, what was the answer to the previous question? The question was, how can broke economies lend money to other broke economies who haven't got any money because they can't pay back the money the broke economy lent to the other broke economy and shouldn't have lent it to them in the first place because the broke economy can't pay it back. You're wasting very valuable time, Roger. How much money does Spain owe to Italy? $41 billion, but where are they going to get it? Correct. What does Italy owe to Spain? 27 billion, but they haven't got it. They're broke. Correct. How can they pay? So it goes on and on. That's quite funny. Yeah, the clip is pretty funny, although they wind it up by saying essentially.

1:25:49 America is going to pay for it all because China owns us. And I think the thing that is being missed here is that it's the banks, it's the investment banks.

Yeah. Tax the poor, you know, soak the rich and give it all to government workers. Speaking of which, New York Post had a pretty good

1:26:44 Scoop I would say as a couple of census workers are now coming out and blowing the whistle and saying hey, you know I went to work to you know take census To do census work going door-to-door and I was hired and fired three or four times and the reason why is because I When the Census Department fires you and hires you to get to report a new job created to the Labor Department to prop up the numbers. Ooh. Yeah. That's big, isn't it? That's great. And that makes sense. More government scams. Yeah, they had a little jump.

1:27:26 You know in although the unemployment rose, but oh we created even bill maher was like oh he's working We created more jobs now. They're just firing and hiring people to to prop up the numbers It's like a million people because the guy fired that doesn't get you do the the unemployment is based on at least the way they do it now is based on on on filling out the forms is starting to get unemployment so you fire and hire somebody fast enough they never get to the unemployment number and they just get another height these doubles up their hiring numbers were it's ridiculous which brings me to the clip lying necessary which introduces a guest that's going to talk on uh... c-span but i just i just thought this introduction was was worth the price of admission university of california and berkeley history professor martin j

1:28:14 discusses when, how, and why lying in politics may not only be acceptable but necessary. University Press Books in Berkeley, California hosts the hour-long event. Because it's good for you, Slade. Oh, when is that on? Oh, that's mint. That is fantastic! Yeah. Oh, I love it. I love it. I'm sure you... I think it was actually on the blog Peter Schiff who is a gold shill. Yeah, totally. And he sells gold. I mean, he's probably got one of these outfits. Send me your gold, I'll send you cash, whatever it is.

1:28:56 But it was kind of funny the way the host reacted when he starts going on about, oh you gotta, I've been advising people buy gold, gold, the government's printing money, gold is the only sound investment and they pull the plug and the host comes back and actually says it. At this moment is that, is the fear of the value of paper currency a valid one and is gold That's a rat again. That's that Dylan Fadigan guy. Yeah, the government didn't like what Peter had to say. Well, you know, he's got a sense of humor. Yeah, but how funny is it really?

1:29:53 Well, they brought him back. Yeah, but it happens all the time. What happens our show at least we didn't have well today We're just flaky but yet it happens all the time There's just somebody in the background with the blue with you or they there's a big control room someplace and in Langley and they watch Hey, there's one. There's one over there camera 16 That's a good one. Hey, that was funny man. Oh, did you hear what he said? Ha ha ha ha The TSA is going to start... We don't believe that by the way. Right. The TSA is starting a new list. It's keeping records of people who make its screeners feel threatened. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's the same list that the guys are supposedly threatening the global warmists. Yeah, yeah. So if you scour, they will put you on the list. So now I'm just trying to be happy now.

1:30:53 I'm always smiling when I'm actually I'm deadpan the whole time. No, I've resorted to smiling so they can't figure it out. I know you look like a woman from Nebraska. Some of these people that don't travel a lot, you see them in these airports and they're just so happy to be traveling. They just got out of Nebraska for the first time in their life and they're just pleased as punch to be taking their shoes off. We have nothing against Nebraska by the way. No, I love Nebraska. It's a good state, got good beef there. And hopefully they'll have some independent slaughterhouses. The assault on salt continues. Speaking of your food there, a couple good links in the show notes at noagendashow.com. It's happening in Australia as well now. They call it the Great Salt Shake-up and in this article at the bottom,

1:31:43 It says right here in March leading manufacturers and retailers meeting as part of the Rudd government initiative agreed to salt reduction targets in a variety of bread and breakfast cereals and they will continue their discussions. That bread is tasteless enough. Yeah, you need some salt in your bread. And then the, and I love all the puns that everyone, instead of doing some real... Hello, I'm Dr. Sandra Fryhofer. I'm sorry, this is like a doctor site. What is it? Medscape.com. I actually had to register and I had to say I was press and not a doctor, otherwise you have to answer all these other questions.

1:32:24 And so everyone has these nice puns. Shake the salt out of industry, the next step in preventing hypertension. And I've got this woman here who you've already heard try to start four times in like the most horrible amateurish produced video ever. Medicine Matters, hello and welcome. Dr. Sandra Fryhofer, welcome to Medicine Matters. The topic, salt. Why skimping on salt is best. Both physically and fiscally. Here's why it matters. Fiscally? Salt is the main source of sodium in food. Sodium intake raises blood pressure. High blood pressure is a major risk factor for heart disease and stroke. Healthcare costs due to hypertension total more than 73 billion dollars a year. So this is what it's about? This is what we're supposed to be learning?

1:33:18 Lowering salt intake lowers blood pressure. And now, two new studies use computer models to quantify how skimping on salt can save lives and save money. Right. Computer models. So go take a look at those. Here we go again. Yeah, the people who brought you Ashmageddon are now bringing you the assault on salt. With computer models, it's proven it will save us billions. Computers don't lie. No, absolutely. They just trade funny. So, uh, yeah, well, it's more depressed. Let's go. Let's can we return to some? Something light maybe some real news. I got a real new two real news items and now So I want you to just think about this I didn't listen to the interview I just listened to the teaser for it Jesse James is gonna, you know spill his guts, you know trying to get his ratings up on his show which is a Associated thing here, but they when you talk when they talk to this guy

1:34:17 You have to imagine him sitting down with Sandra Bullock and the two of them maybe having a serious conversation. I don't know about you, but he sounds like a 12 year old. The way he talks, his voice doesn't have any resonance. Play the Jesse James clip and tell me what you think. Why did you throw it away? I don't know, you know, during the midst of all of it and when I was doing it, one, I knew it was horrible. It made me feel horrible. And two, I knew I would get caught eventually and I think I wanted to get caught.

1:34:58 I mean, is this... am I missing something here? I mean, is he like a beard for her? Because she, you know, adopted a baby. Obviously, I mean, they would have gotten pregnant or something. She would have gotten pregnant, it seems to me, if they wanted to have a kid. She adopts a baby, you know, I mean, is there... is she... there's something... this story's fishy. The whole Jesse James, Sandra Bullock thing is fishy. She's America's sweetheart, John. Are you implying she may be a lesbian? Did she sign the lesbian treaty? She wasn't allowed to vote on it. No, I'm not saying there's no evidence of it, but it just seems to me that this this you know, just listening to this guy. I mean, he just sounds like a kid. Yeah, it is. And like, I think I wanted to get caught in my state.

1:35:50 So I got another one which is I got this is an interesting segue. They apparently Nancy Grace They can't do their own kind of jazzy intros. So she uses the they brought up this this bernie Ramsey guy that that wimpy looking guy that I Thought this was an old news story, but she just ran it again You know that guy who was hauled back from Asia after saying he killed a little bit John bernie Ramsey John bernie Ramsey I can't remember his name it comes up in this clip and But this is a clip from Inside Edition that segues to Nancy Grace. So she put this clip on and I record the whole thing because it's one of the jazziest, weirdest, one of the absolute weirdest, you know, one of those intro teasers that I've ever seen. It just jumps from things to things. And there's in the middle of it, there's a, it sounds like it was done by that guy who used to do the cartoons with the wolf, Chuck Jones.

1:36:44 where you have the or one of the other guys that there's a horn that honks in the middle of it as though it's like a car comic or cartoons uh an old cartoon from the 40s but anyway play it The man who once claimed he killed JonBenet Ramsey. I love JonBenet. That's my little girl. John Markar. Protecting people who are innocent is important to me. The man who once falsely admitted to killing beauty queen JonBenet Ramsey. Her death was an accident. Is reportedly under investigation for cyber stalking. It was so obvious. There was no way I could hide it. Samantha Spiegel told Inside Edition that she first met Carr when she was nine. No. 19-year-old Samantha Spiegel says she first met Carr John Mark Carr when she was nine years old. Mentally unstable. And he was her substitute teacher at school. Twisted sense of logic. Unwell. They reconnected over video chat and email. He didn't want me talking to males of any sort.

1:37:45 I am now completely mind controlled. It worked. Isn't that amazing? I'm up to date. And what's the horn honking in the middle of that clip? That's to mess with your psyche. So they're like, important, important stuff coming now. Wow. Yeah, that's almost like a morning zoo promo. It was amazing. I mean, I'm watching this thing going, this is like, you know, we're talking about how supposedly the younger generation, you know, they can't,

1:38:27 There's ADD, it's like an epidemic, nobody can pay attention to more than a few things. And I was talking about this with my wife. People who've come up over the, you know, from the Y, not the Y gym, but the millennials, or whatever they call them. Millennials. have a short attention span. They won't, they can't watch a movie that is done before 1940 because it's too slow moving for them. They've been brought up on jump cuts. and you can basically just program the crap out of them with this kind of just you know it's inundation with quick quick quick you know two second three second you know we do that at MeVio that some of the they try to move through clips pretty quickly in some of these promos but it's not like this this is like nothing nothing compared to this this is a outrageously quick

1:39:18 Yeah, this is like this is bang bang bang bang bang and which takes a lot of time to do by the way For people out there because you have to you know, it's one second of this and one second of that It was just astonishing to me I'm gonna have to start watching inside edition and pull it out down some of these because these are really a top of the top of the line and also what you're not you're not seeing all the words that are on the screen at that very moment right and the visual clips, oh, yeah the clips and then of course, there's probably a streamer underneath a Yeah, no, it's loaded. I mean just listening to it is bad enough if you actually watched it It would be you'd be drooling by hit by the time and then it's the whole thing's 15 seconds or so Yeah, no, I mean, but this is absolute mind control. I feel up-to-date. I know everything now I know a lot. Mm-hmm. I know it's got in a very short period of time. I need to go do some work now

1:40:11 Eric the shill is saying that yet another Foxconn suicide last night this is now number 11 And I was reading some report. This is the the Chinese company that makes your iPad Yeah, this is a complex like 40,000 workers. This is huge. It takes up. Yeah, right takes two hours to walk around the perimeter Yeah, it's a big they actually have both Foxconn and quanta the other big operation in China they essentially it's almost like you have a steel mill at one end and

1:40:48 Metal processing plant goes forward for it and out comes a computer at the other side. I mean, it's just unbelievable These guys think big and the oh, yeah and the CEO of Foxconn who apparently I didn't know this started building knobs for channel changers on remote controls and or on television sets, and he borrowed like 60 bucks from his mom or something and built this into a 40 billion dollar factory. So he's like, you know, he made a statement which they retracted saying, well we really feel bad, we got to do something about this, we're building safety nets.

1:41:31 For when they don't do it window is like and people like that may not be a great PR move, dude You may not want to say that Safety nets. This is crazy. Hey your new Deputy Prime Minister in Gitmo nation east there over in the UK You know part of his platform and this elitist from Dutch origin Nick Clegg A lot of what he was running on in the early days was, remember this hacker Gary McKinnon, the kid who broke into NASA's computers and discovered that there was a list of off-world officers, i.e. who were on the moon-based space station?

1:42:21 So, the US wants to extradite him, to throw him in the slammer probably for like 50, 60 years. And Clegg, before he was Deputy Prime Minister, was like, yeah, no, this is crazy, this can't happen, we're not going to do this, he's a citizen of the Royal Empire. And yesterday he says, well, I might not have the power to do that. I may not be able to help him. We may just have to put him on the high-speed train and send him off. Yeah, it's like Napolitano and her, you know, she was governor of Arizona and she was pushing for these, you know, all this same draconian stuff they're trying to do with, you know, under heavy criticism when she was there and now she's, no, no, no, it's bad.

1:43:06 and what is really these politicians are terrible i mean do you i would like to get a guy still a document all the old bomb a promises that just fell through the cracks and nobody cares about we still have a number of clips we should go back and dig out my favorite being a course we're gonna get right out of iraq and the first thing he's going to show us you know that if we have not got our troops out by the time i am president it is the first thing i will do i will get our troops home we will bring an end to this war you can take that to the bank That one? Yeah, what happened? What changed? Well we took it to the bank and the bank went bust. And then we had to bail out the bank. You can take that to the bank. We had to bail out taking it to the bank. Yeah, the most emailed story which is another piece of fine propaganda.

1:43:55 Which, speaking of technology which just doesn't make any sense, this is not how the technology works as far as I'm educated. There's this BBC story, I'm sure you got a couple of emails about this John, about the RFID virus. Here it is. Now we've heard before of chips being implanted in the body, but here at Reading University they're looking at something else. What happens when one of those chips gets a computer virus? Well, here's Dr Mark Gasson, surrounded by forms of robotic equipment. By the way, the guy looks like he has a virus. He's like hollow-eyed, he looks really bad. What is this research actually about?

1:44:37 Well, we're very interested in new applications of technology and implantable technologies. So RFID tags have been used some time for implanting in animals, for example, to identify them. If they go missing, you can scan them, get a number and cross-reference that to the database. Now listen, here comes the propaganda part. This is why... because actually they're saying RFID is good. But this technology has really developed over the last five or ten years. And really now we should consider these devices to be more like little computers. They can store information, manipulate information, do simple computations. So when we're implanting this type of device, really we're implanting it like a miniature computer.

1:45:22 Now you've actually got a chip implanted in your hand, haven't you? Yeah, I have one in my hand. What that allows me to do is, for example, have secure access to the building. It allows me to use my mobile phone because it can recognize, the phone can recognize me via the chip, but no one else can use my phone. So these are fairly simple applications of this technology, but with these... Right. So you... Hold on a second. What phones have an inducer on them that can trigger an RFID chip to... None! None! It's a propaganda piece. It's trying... people are gonna go, oh that's kind of cool. Yeah, no one can steal. No one can get into my house. It could only be me. This is a propaganda piece. The whole piece is boring. The guy doesn't have a virus. You can't put a virus in an RFID chip. All it does is broadcast a number.

1:46:11 You know, and then he goes straight into all these other implantable. He goes, he shows a pacemaker and all kinds of weird stuff. This is, as far as I'm concerned, just the BBC telling you that it's coming. You know, it's coming, it's unavoidable. It's cool because no one will be able to rip off your cell phone, your iPhone. Oh, no one can steal my iPhone because it won't work without the chip. So that's good. It's propaganda. It's getting people ready for it. Yeah, well they've been working on that for a while. And in Gitmo Nation, Lowlands just announced at Schiphol Airport

1:46:49 Which by the way has a very fast customs border crossing. I've never had to stand there very long. They do check your passport no matter where you come from. They have a separate line for the EU visitors. They do have the iris scan fast track if you want. But now they're going to allow you to step into a little box that will check your biometrics Your passport's RFID chip and we'll take a picture of you and then you can move on. Why would you want to do that? Because it will be the only way to get into the country. Oh, so they're gonna take a picture of everybody coming into the country? Yep. That should be quite a collection. Well, the US does it. When you come to the border in the US, they take a picture of you. I've never had that happen. If you're a citizen. If you're not a citizen, they have a little webcam. You'd ever seen that?

1:47:48 They take your finger... Oh yeah, fingerprints and webcam. Oh yeah. And by the way... So it's a little webcam like Costco uses for their cards? Yeah, it's a Logitech. I'm not kidding. It's a... A Logitech? Yes! I'm not kidding you! It's a Logitech on one of those swan neck bendable thingies. And they bend it down and point it at you and they take a picture. Oh yeah. Yeah, so first of all... It might be quite a collection. So if you don't get your new passport with the RFID chip, you will not be able to travel. That's part of the message here. Yeah, well that's probably true. So, yeah, just step into the little box. Oh, we're only taking a picture of you. Don't worry. We're not scanning you for anything else. Gitmo!

1:48:36 I'm getting another fine depressing show. I know I know people that you know, it's hard to get I think a lot of people would like to send us a donation at no agenda show calm or DeVore org slash any but then they get bummed out so what's the point? Well, this is you know, I got a lot of flack for my comments on bipolar disease Yes, which I used to be no, I know I'm gonna defend that because Because I did a little bit of research so bipolar is only a politically correct name for manic depressed

1:49:13 Because that didn't sound good, I guess. We had to make it sound more friendly. But, you know, of course, Wikipedia, you can look at what they say, but I went to the Mayo Clinic. They don't actually know what causes it. There is no proof that it is a chemical imbalance. In fact, it states quite clearly, stress, abuse, significant loss, or other traumatic experiences may play a role in bipolar disorder. And I think a lot of people who are stressed out by fucking Nancy Grace clips are getting bipolar disorder. That's what does it to you. I think it's always possible that could be a environmental thing that pushes it. They say genetics, it could be genetics. It could be a hormonal imbalance, but they're not giving you hormones. They're giving you neurotransmitter mess with your brain drugs.

1:50:07 It doesn't say anything about a chemical imbalance in the brain. People get messed up. They get messed up by the signals that are coming into their heads. Just turn off your television. All the news you need to know, we'll give you. Four hours a week is enough depression. And at least you get some Lindsay Lohan boob news. And by the way, it's four hours without commercial interruption. There's a plea for help, that's about it. And that which saves everybody at least one hour, at least, or more a week in their own time. What is your time worth? That's what we're actually asking to give us. If your time's worth 150 bucks an hour, which many people it is, or more,

1:50:50 Fine if it's $50 an hour, what do you get paid? 10? Usually the $10 people aren't listening to us. They're drinking. They're working. They're chained to the Foxconn workbench. Yeah. So anyway, it would be appreciated. So I'd like to end with one of your happier clips after I just mentioned, if you didn't know, Andrew Wakefield, Dr. Wakefield, who is The doctor who in 1998 released a study linking MMR vaccinations to autism, which I believe to be true, mainly because of the mercury that's in there as a preservative, was thrown out of the medical profession.

1:51:42 Yeah, I know I got a kick out of that. They took away his license because the country throw the guy out It's just unbelievable they took away his license. You don't know what you're talking about slave. They are safe We say so you know the Department of we say so Hello, I'm the secretary of the Department of we say so shut up slave all right Let's play me out of here with something fun John you must have something left. No. I have nothing left Yeah, what's that hit it? Oh?

1:52:21 Oh, and follow us on Twitter. And House College Bullcrap, is that not funny? Oh, this is an interesting one. You play House College Bullcrap. This is, you know, besides trying to steal all the money from the public, you know, these universities have cranked up their fees, their states don't help out anymore. So they're trying to enslave all the students by pushing them toward, well, you'll see. This is a gentleman from New York. Seek recognition. Mr. Speaker, I move that the House suspend the rules and agree to House Resolution 1353 as amended. The Clerk will report the title of the resolution. House Resolution 1353. Resolution supporting the goals and ideals of Student Financial Aid Awareness Month to raise awareness of student financial aid.

1:51:42 Yeah, I know I got a kick out of that. They took away his license because the country throw the guy out It's just unbelievable they took away his license. You don't know what you're talking about slave. They are safe We say so you know the Department of we say so Hello, I'm the secretary of the Department of we say so shut up slave all right Let's play me out of here with something fun John you must have something left. No. I have nothing left Yeah, what's that hit it? Oh?

1:52:21 Oh, and follow us on Twitter. And House College Bullcrap, is that not funny? Oh, this is an interesting one. You play House College Bullcrap.

Resolution supporting the goals and ideals of Student Financial Aid Awareness Month to raise awareness of student financial aid.

1:53:07 Pursuant to the rule, the gentleman from New York, Mr. Bishop, and the gentleman from Tennessee, Mr. Rowe, each will control 20 minutes. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from New York, Mr. Bishop. Mr. Speaker, I request five legislative days during which members may revise and extend and insert extraneous material on House Resolution 1353 into the record. That objection is ordered. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself as much time as I may consume. I rise today in support of House Resolution 1353, which expresses support for the goals and ideals of Student Financial Aid Awareness Month. This month is an important part of increasing awareness of the many financial aid options available to young people preparing to go to college.

1:53:52 With the cost of college rising rapidly every year, it has become increasingly critical that students take full advantage of their options for financial aid, including grants, loans, and scholarships. The passage of the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, the Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008, and the College Cost Reduction and Access Act of 2007 all increased the amount of aid available and improved access to student aid for millions of students and their families. What happened to the college cost reduction? It never happened. You can stop. No. Where's the college cost reduction?

1:54:33 He meant increase. This is bullcrap. This whole thing is a ridiculous situation. They're going to make it a celebratory month where people can become aware of the fact that you can take out of college alone because you know what? These kids coming out of high school nowadays going to college are so stupid that they don't even know this. I mean, give me a break. Yeah. Yeah, that's not light-hearted. I'm gonna have to put some comedy clips into this thing once in a while. I'll give you something light-hearted then. I don't have a clip of it because I didn't have time to because I was traveling. There is a Senate bill which I think was signed yesterday. I don't know if I had time to do it because they're so busy extending the House rules and it's called Rosa's Law.

1:55:26 would replace the term retarded mental retardation, retardation and mentally retarded individual with intellectual disability an individual with an intellectual disability. Well, just go burn some books while you're at it. It will be illegal. to use the word retardation. What do you mean illegal? In any federal documents or law or anything that happens in Washington, the word mental retardation will not be allowed to be used. Huh. Well,

1:56:20 There's a number of humorous avenues we could go down with this, but I'm going to avoid all of them. No, it's clearly they're trying to, it's against aviation once again. You can't retard your speed. Yeah, okay. Yeah, there were better ones I know. Alright. Yeah, let's end on a bomb. Hey, and when is the- when is the- When is the- What? Uh, don't- don't break up now. Oh, Jesus Christ. Of course. Well, I guess, uh, I'm just gonna have to end the show by myself then.

1:57:23 The entire internet in the whole hotel has now gone down. Hey, good job everybody! Great! It's great being on the road. Please support this show so we can just sit at home in our underwear and do the program the way it should be done. It's been a rough one, but hey. Dvorak.org slash NA or support the stream. By the way, it's not the stream's fault. It's purely the connection at the wonderful courtyard by Marriott. that I'm seeing now is completely down, completely gone. You can support the stream by going to Dvorak.org slash NAS. So this is the part where I would say I'm coming to you from the Marriott Courtyard, Crackpot Command Center in San Francisco, California, Gitmo Nation West, where life is a bitch.

1:58:15 My name's Adam Curry, and John would say, it's still garbage day, why are they so loud? I'm John C. Dvorak, somewhere in northern Silicon Valley. We'll talk to you again on Sunday for early morning service back at home base right here on No Agenda.
