About this episode

Dominique Strauss-Kahn, the International Monetary Fund director and French presidential hopeful, faces charges of attempted rape in New York City following an alleged assault on a hotel maid. The arrest occurred on an Air France flight just as Strauss-Kahn was departing for high-stakes meetings with Angela Merkel regarding the Greek debt crisis. This sudden removal of a primary challenger to Nicolas Sarkozy has sparked intense speculation regarding political coordination and the future of IMF leadership.

Secondary developments include Chinese investors eyeing the privatization of Greek islands and the Euro's sharp decline against the US dollar. In domestic security, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano warned of lone wolf terrorism following the death of Osama bin Laden, while the Texas House passed a bill to criminalize indecent groping by TSA agents. Meanwhile, the Indiana Supreme Court ruled that homeowners cannot legally resist unlawful police entry, and the US House of Representatives approved an $80 billion intelligence budget. Bill Clinton and AGT International CEO Mati Kochavi also proposed a federal agency to verify internet credibility, effectively creating a truth-rating system for search results.

Technical oddities and cultural moments round out the report, including the decline of soap opera dialogue and the jarring audio transitions in broadcast news packages. Azerbaijan secured a victory in the 2011 Eurovision Song Contest with the song Running Scared, while Robert Fitzpatrick spent $140,000 on advertisements predicting the May 21st Rapture. Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak analyze these shifts alongside the rollout of GPS-enabled smart shoes for dementia patients.

San Francisco Nightclub Fingerprinting, Bay to Breakers Restrictions

San Francisco authorities implemented strict crackdowns on the annual Bay to Breakers race, banning public drinking and urination. Additionally, city officials proposed a new mandate requiring nightclubs to collect thumbprints from patrons before entry. This move toward biometric tracking in entertainment venues has sparked concerns regarding privacy and the potential closure of local bars.

Dominique Strauss-Kahn Arrest, IMF Leadership Scandal

Dominique Strauss-Kahn, the operational director of the International Monetary Fund and a leading French presidential contender, was arrested in New York on charges of attempted rape involving a hotel maid. French Socialist Party leaders, including Martine Aubry, have called for the presumption of innocence while supporters suggest the timing may be a political setup. The arrest removes a primary challenger to Nicolas Sarkozy in the upcoming French elections.

02:15 And what is the latest news? Well, it's about Dominique Strauss-Kahn. This is fantastic news! What a crock... this poor guy. Poor guy apparently can walk on any Air France flight and they have to put him on in first class. Yeah yeah this is like the super elite Yeah, he's a talk about elite. You can go walk it's just like having your rail pass Telling me that you can go walk up walk up Hey, I'm going to Paris Okay, no no no no no first class seat for you. Are you sitting there? Get out slave make place for DSK yeah this guy is pretty amazing so for those of you who have not heard about this This is Dominique Strauch Khan

03:03 which sounds more German by the way than French. But he is not only the operational director of the International Monetary Fund, i.e., primarily American banks who are taking over the world and ruining most of Europe and part of the whole economic hitmen status symbol system but he's also apparently the only true contender Was the only true contender was against Nicolas Sarkozy to take over and this is the weird thing because he's running as a part of the Socialist Party, as the front runner for the Socialist Party. But it's kind of weird when you have a socialist who has like

03:52 Porsche's got a you know it's loaded three million dollar house in DC two and a half million dollar apartment in in Paris Yeah, and it's totally loaded. And I've really been trying to follow a lot of this It's kind of difficult Of course because my French is not all that great But the French are kind of nut and actually this is very typical for a socialist country. And I've heard that, because I lived in a couple when confronted with you know hey well this guy you know he's a socialist do you want him? You know how can be a social... How can we really leftist if he's you know rich bastard and the standard answer is what? You want it just because he has money! He cannot have socialist tendencies What does he have to eat sandwiches and drive a Deux Chevaux

04:39 yes, exactly what I say here's the response in Paris this comes from Euronews by the way the accusations of sexual assault as you can tell from the British accent against IMF head and potential French presidential candidate Dominique Strauss-Kahn have sent shockwaves through French politics but socialist leader Martine Aubry rallied behind her former government colleague Like everyone I am totally amazed, plus I urge that we wait for all the facts. We must respect the presumption of innocence." Parisians reacted with horror to the arrest of the man many see as the left's only credible challenger to Nicolas Sarkozy in next years elections

05:27 He is someone who could give something to France. We need people like him, especially on the left I'm now waiting to hear some proof It's too early to make a judgment This woman says that Strauss-Kahn was the only candidate from the Left for whom she could have voted But now I have to be honest, this is a little bit too much," he says. It's too much! It's a bit strange that a few months before the elections this affair occurs Maybe we should ask ourselves if it's a setup Strauss-Kahn who has been widely lauded for his leadership of the IMF faces three charges including attempted rape relating to an incident with a New York hotel maid So couple things here that first of all

CHAPTER 03 / 42 Discussion

Dominique Strauss-Kahn Sexual Assault Allegations, Al Gore Comparison

Reports from the New York Post detail the alleged sexual assault by Dominique Strauss-Kahn on a 31-year-old hotel maid. The incident, which reportedly involved Strauss-Kahn emerging naked from a bathroom to accost the staff member, has drawn comparisons to previous allegations against Al Gore. Strauss-Kahn has faced similar accusations of aggressive behavior in 2002 and 2008, leading to his reputation as a "chimpanzee in heat."

06:14 I'm not exactly sure. So there's like three pieces of data that we need to analyze John one is That this is not the first time this guy has Been compared to a and I quote chimpanzee in heat This has happened earlier in 2002 and it happened with a subordinate of his in 2008 That was all kind of hush-hush cover up. So maybe he's a pervert I mean the New York Post, I think had probably the best description of what happened Yeah, I read it all. It's great. Go ahead. Supposedly the maid walks in. 31 year old man. She walks in and then this guy is in the bathroom unbeknownst to her he comes bounding out naked. Hot pockets! But what does this sound like to you? Does this story sound familiar?

07:13 This is the Al Gore story. It is the Al Gore story! This is the Al Gore... It's an Al-a-gore-ical story. Let me give you a little in the morning. So yeah, so Al Gore was the horny poodle, the poodle in heat as he attacked allegedly attacked the masseuse and this is the chimpanzee in heat Dominique Strauss-Kahn and he... I guess he like actually forced her head onto his penis. Yeah, no she supposedly forced or grabbed...I guess it comes bounding out naked she can't kick him or anything because the guy's stunned! And the guys huge he looks like Brian Denehy. He is a big fat guy. Yeah it's huge he's frightening imagine that guy naked

CHAPTER 04 / 42 Discussion

IMF Greek Debt Restructuring, Potential Strauss-Kahn Setup

The arrest of Dominique Strauss-Kahn occurred just as he was traveling to meet Angela Merkel regarding the restructuring of Greek debt, 30% of which is held by the IMF. Speculation has arisen that the charges could be an "inside job" or a political maneuver to install a JP Morgan-affiliated leader at the IMF. The speed of the arrest on an Air France flight suggests high-level coordination beyond standard police procedures.

imf· greece· angela merkel· jp morgan· athens· debt restructuring

08:03 With his hard on poking in your direction. So here he comes and so the next thing you know she's like go oh? Well there are a couple of things going on, there is a couple of interesting things. He was actually on his way to Europe and had a meeting scheduled with Angela Merkel for the re-restructuring, the do over of the Greek debt which I believe 30% is held by the IMF and they've been holding all these secret meetings with the finance ministers because this is a real problem. You know that people are eating out of garbage cans in Athens? I mean, we have no idea of course here because it's not shown anywhere. That's new!

08:48 Now it's this is really really bad what now it's gotten to the point where just people are leaving Athens like them You know they're driving 200 kilometers outside of Athens and growing like weeds and sticks to live off of So this guy was on his way to go discuss that now there's another puppet that pops up Who is a JP Morgan guy? He's now in charge of the IMF operations And so it could have been an inside job. So here are the options A, the guy's just an elitist prick and he's just a fricking idiot! And he did this...and this is what he does It's a possibility. It's a total possibility Yeah Two This has to do with internal struggle inside the IMF because he actually said something really you know

09:40 It's possible in the elitist circles that they want to get you out because you make too much noise, right? And yeah and you start saying stuff and like you know you really need to shut up dude. Sometimes these guys don't know how to do it. Yeah let me mention one more thing at least a logical point of information. Can I just give you one quote before we do that so here is the quote if that is what happened The quote that got him into trouble was with the Guardian Quote, the reality is these people he's talking about the Greek are in deep shit. If we had not come they would have fallen into the abyss two weeks later and the government would not have been able to pay civil servants wages this is a direct quote from him

10:24 So that combined with the houses... I don't know, is that quote big of a deal? Yeah because you're not supposed to be saying that in the international press. We all know the IMF is raping Ireland and Greece. I mean it still seems...I mean I don't think we are setting them up on rape charges. I think this only has got to do with the Sarkozy election. Well so there's your third. But what I like about this is now, this is the second time this has really happened where it's taken an elitist out of the picture. Because of course that guy you know...I would be highly surprised if he ran and had any chance. He's not running now? No but what's cool about it Is this our ultimate weapon against the elitists So all we need is some heroic charges Yes! We need some heroic maids

11:12 Who just be what happened that's also possible wouldn't that be beautiful? Well, I well. I will carry this woman on my shoulders for the rest of my life because that think about it This is perfect and I have to say though you know if they got on the plane They got the guy 10 minute there on the tarmac ten minutes before they're ready to take off This is not like just your regular old little job You know what I'm saying this is uh this is someone set him up for sure um Yeah, because yeah in New York or anyplace else it would take well let's say this happened around days Days. This happened around noon and it's not like the cops are like who's Dominique? What Dominique Stravinsky what's his name? Yeah well lemme take your details man

CHAPTER 05 / 42 Discussion

Chinese Interest in Greek Islands, Privatization Strategy

Chinese investors are reportedly monitoring the economic crisis in Greece with an interest in purchasing privatized state assets, including islands. This geopolitical shift occurs as the IMF leadership undergoes turmoil, potentially allowing China to expand its influence through bailout power. Questions remain regarding how authorities identified Strauss-Kahn's specific flight manifest so quickly during his arrest.

11:58 You know, please. Has this happened before? Can you sit over here?" For one thing they wouldn't get her statement for hours and then it would be like okay well what are we gonna do where is he now where's he check out they wouldn't be going into high gear over this but what did he do did he hurt you so there's one alternative there's an alternative theory because where is Haiku Herman in the midst of all of this He is in China selling So maybe he or the Chinese, or people loyal to the Chinese and their bailout power... Because the Chinese of course you know they're looking at Greece going like it's a nice ass islands there. I think I'll get me one of them! They say that in Chinese but that's kind of what it sounds like because everything is being privatized. Like I think I'll get me a... But China could do worse than buy some Islands Exactly and they love it. You know, I mean the Chinese are everywhere

13:01 They love buying up stuff. Well, there's obviously a lot of dimensions to this but the fact is that they did get him off the plane in more than enough time and how do they know it was that plane? I mean how did they know he has a free pass on Air France? That makes no sense And since he does have a free pass... Here's a good one If he's got a free pass and can just walk on any plane and takeoff How are they gonna know what plane he's on Yeah, there's no manifest. They can't go over man. Oh there he goes well I'm thinking you know that it may be a little exaggeration He probably has to walk up to the desk and say bonjour But still how's the cops usually when they're trying to come here with your mouth put it on my penis?

French Presidential Candidates, Euro Currency Fluctuations

François Hollande has emerged as a potential Socialist contender to face Nicolas Sarkozy following the Strauss-Kahn scandal. Meanwhile, the Euro experienced a significant drop from $1.48 to $1.41 against the US dollar within a week. These economic shifts coincide with G20 meetings and looming bailouts for Portugal, Spain, and Ireland, where public unrest continues to grow.

françois hollande· nicolas sarkozy· euro· dollar· g20· currency

13:42 They have to go through a, you know they have to look at some manifestos see what plane he could because there's no I mean from New York the Paris is plenty of flights or New York how do they know he's going to Paris? Yeah. Well they can be gone anywhere. Because it's a set up and for The whole thing is an obvious setup based on that one fact alone How do you know he's on that plane And look at the speed of the news this happened You know the end and who breaks the news the British newspapers They broke it before the New York newspapers At least that's the timeline myself. Yeah, this is a sleazy deal. So there is another guy though, there is another contender. François Hollande he's another contender for to compete against Sarkozy He's also member of I don't know if it's the same or a socialist party. He by the way also has had his

14:35 his extramarital affairs and all kinds of scandals. But the French, like this is the thing the French never used to care about this since when did the French care about it? I don't think...I still do not think they do The French have you know it's well known all the French leaders have always had chickies on the side and whatever and they've never cared Have they? Not that I know of same in Italy but think about this In Italy they laugh Yeah No! In Italy its worse This what my sister told me in Italy Well, if I was in that position. I'd do the same he's doing Stupid slaves take your damn meds a Production note Mickey could you bring me my blue thing? Thank you love blue saying blue thing alert I need the blue thing anyway so this whole thing is hilarious in the meantime it does actually delay

15:26 necessary funds coming from the IMF to Greece and who knows maybe they only have two weeks left and then they can't pay the wages of the government slaves. That'll be a problem. Maybe what he's doing is just make sure that they get cut out of the EU Yeah, well... Let them see you know let him They'll be the first but seriously they had this backroom thank-you darling this back room gathering these guys had all the finance ministers at the G20 Thank You You know, there's some serious crap going on. Because Portugal's bailout is right behind and then we still have Spain and Ireland... The slaves in Ireland are pissed off! So maybe the whole idea is just to bring it all down? I don't know but you know that sounds like a good plan. I still hold like 10 euros and yeah the euro is crashing

16:28 No, it's not. It went from $148 to $141 in like two days that's pretty hefty When it was going between 140 and 125 it was going down a lot faster. Well I don't know maybe this let me take a look at isn't the dollar going down uh...at the same time so kind of doesn't matter? no when you're talking 148 to 141 your talking about the dollars so the dollar is going up Well, I mean what are you comparing it to? You're comparing the dollar. So if the euro's going down the dollar is going up Okay right but you're saying it's not...I guess what I'm saying is if The dollar devalues as well along with the euro then they kind of stay in No that's all we compare it too

17:13 I mean, is this compared to the yen and the pound? But generally speaking when you're talking about the value of the dollar. Generally speaking, you're talking about it compared to the euro so if one that... You don't have both going down at the same time. I mean theoretically it's possible with which would put the ridiculous British pounds sterling in the driver seat because that's the only... That and the yen are the only other two currencies that are important. The rest of them are small potatoes including the Australian dollar but Generally speaking you're talking about the dollar versus it went from like 148 to 141 in a week's time or something. It went pretty quick I think well, well I'm trying to give you time to look sorry. You're right is down at one 41 17 see told ya Well still too high

Eurovision Song Contest 2011, Azerbaijan Victory

Azerbaijan won the 2011 Eurovision Song Contest with the song "Running Scared" performed by Ell and Nikki. Despite the high production costs and elaborate staging, the event is characterized as a farce with poor musical quality.

Podcast Production Post-Mortem, Jakarta and Kuala Lumpur Comparison

A review of recent podcast performance shows a decline in listener donations, leading to a discussion on the show's "C-plus" quality. A donor from Jakarta, Indonesia, sparked a comparison between Jakarta and Kuala Lumpur, noting the prevalence of high-quality pirated DVDs in the region. An anecdote was shared regarding a former mayor in Kuala Lumpur whose house burned down after he attempted to crack down on the local DVD trade.

TSA Opt-Out Protest, National Anthem Singing

A pharmacy technician traveling through Hawaii opted out of a naked body scanner and sang the national anthem during a TSA pat-down. The traveler was detained and questioned for being "defiant towards national security" but was eventually released after being deemed not a threat. The incident drew applause from other passengers and highlighted growing public frustration with airport security measures.

I could just hear him go in the morning great needless to say he was detained and questioned for being defiant towards national security because I made a scene and caused others to opt out of

Bling Ring Robberies, Domain Name Seizures

The "Bling Ring" group of teenagers used Twitter to track celebrities like Paris Hilton and Orlando Bloom to rob their homes while they were away. This discussion transitioned into concerns over the government's ability to seize .NET domains without a trial, which is viewed as a violation of the Fourth Amendment. The lack of media outcry regarding these digital seizures is compared to a fascist suppression of dissent.

30:40 Did you see a lot on C-SPAN? Because I was watching this like they had a lot of repeats and stuff. Yeah, yeah, I kind of gave up on C-SPAN and went back to the soapboxes.

32:39 following all these celebrities on Twitter and whenever a celebrity would say I'm in Vegas they would case out the house. That's genius actually, can't even say that in a movie And then, but not only that it found out that these houses were really easy to get into. Oh really?

Hot Pockets Marketing, New Product Flavors

Hot Pockets released a new advertising campaign featuring "Cheeseburger," "Buffalo Chicken," and "Sloppy Joe" flavors served in soft baked buns. The new jingle and vocal style of the commercial were criticized for lacking the energy of the original branding. There is also a brief mention of the woman who originally invented the Hot Pocket recipe and later sold the company.

Janet Napolitano on Lone Wolf Terrorism, Rail Security

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano warned of "Lone Wolf" terrorists radicalized by the internet who may act in retaliation for the death of Osama bin Laden. The DHS is increasing focus on transportation security, specifically targeting rail and aviation systems. Napolitano emphasized that while the government doesn't control local transit, it is providing "treasure troves" of information and resources to prevent homegrown attacks.

36:34 Maybe it's just a roll bag trying to pick up my daughter. I don't know Hey, little girl Hey invented hot pockets you want to come on over? What the genesis of the word comes from yeah put your hand in my hot pocket. Oh sure It's time for our lone wolf segment. This is a part of the category we call... Here's Lucy Napolitano on Shibiarz talking about the Lone Wolves One source of concern is what is called The Lone Wolf That is somebody who in the United States, a United States citizen

37:16 he may have become radicalized by the internet. There you go, that's it John! This is what happening? It happened all around the country The young citizens are getting radicalized by the Internet Huh... It's that evil internet thingy That they're radically... It needs to be regulated That's right! Well I guess right Self-radicalization is a thing gotta be we've got to stomp it out To the point of violence and says in retaliation for the death of Osama Bin Laden Notice she saying Osama This is very interesting. Oh, it's probably because of the gaffe? Maybe that you know you're right maybe a memo went out and was like hello everybody I've noticed some real problems everybody talking about me being dead instead of Osama so from now on I want to uh everybody

38:10 You're struggling. You start off so strong and then it falls apart, because you have not internalized it! No because I'm talking to you and I'm visualizing you there in your underwear and gets hard after a point Anyway... So that's probably right the memo went out please say Osama so you can't mess it up bitches And I am going to do X and a sole actor who is not in contact with anyone I think I'm gonna call him President Obama From now on this is gonna be new Obama That's very difficult to prevent there was a veritable treasure trove Oh John a veritable treasure trove

38:51 Veritable treasure trove of porn! Hehe, there was some porn there. Of course of information that receives from the compound. What kinds of things have you gleaned about potential threats as a result? Continued references to transportation, to aviation... Transportation! This is great! To rail Rail rail and so we've were in contact with say one of these high speed one of these trains like the one that goes from Berkeley to Sacramento you know five guys would be dead yeah Amtrak and other rail carriers across the country. And making sure that they were following their own safety procedures did you increase security on trains across the country when you got word

39:42 they were potential targets. We provided information to rail to see if they needed any additional resources. Money! Yeah, and resources. Rail LaHood is his new name. Not Ray, it's Rail LaHood And I think that's the way we need to work. We need to be providing information... ...and money providing backup. We of course don't control, we control aviation in a sense much more than rail and transit that's much more local in nature. And have they... Did you hear that edit? I hate that so they edited the whole piece out right there. Response to this potential threat increased security. Umm..I haven't been in touch with any of them directly

40:20 What does that mean? I mean, so this is the one who's we got to be careful. But I haven't really talked to anybody about that it's just not important. I shouldn't talk to anybody in rails not my department. Some of the information that was seized was there any evidence of sleeper cells operating in this country? I don't want to talk about what was found necessarily in the compound that's still being digested being digested because I ate it can you tell? I ate it all! translated and gone through but I can say that we do operate under the premise that be at homegrown terrorists or group they may be inspired by al-qaeda they maybe... ah, thats the new one John

41:11 Inspired by Al-Qaeda. These are all the memes, you just gotta pick them up. We actually operationally in touch with Al Qaeda we just operate under that assumption this is air flights around the country that they're clearing... The secretary gave us a tour of the nerve center for transportation security located in a nondescript office complex near Dulles International Airport. Hold on a second! She was talking over her right there? Yeah So they just let the conversation go on and well not rather than no no somebody some producers We can't put up with this. No it was a tour footage It was tour footage of like the same room that they showed that Was like the war room for BP during the oil spill same setup Nondescript office building is all secret, but we don't talk to rail you didn't talk to airplane shut up Lucy and then Maria Bartiromo talked to

CHAPTER 15 / 42 Discussion

Bill Clinton on Al-Qaeda Leadership, Franchise Model

Former President Bill Clinton discussed the symbolic leadership of Al-Qaeda following the death of Osama bin Laden, noting that Dr. Ayman al-Zawahiri remains a key figure. Clinton described Al-Qaeda as a "franchise operation" similar to a corporate model like McDonald's. He also expressed skepticism regarding Pakistan's role as a partner in the war on terror, suggesting some officials may have helped hide Bin Laden.

bill clinton· al-zawahiri· al-qaeda· pakistan· terrorism· mcdonalds

42:06 El Presidente Billy Boy Clinton and he don't believe it, he's not buying it. He is not buying it. Someone asked me the other day do you think Pakistan as our partner in the war on terror or someone there knew Bin Laden was there and helped him stay anonymous? And my answer was yes to both questions Did you hear the douchebag laughing about that? You made a funny Billy! So here's the question about will Al Qaeda respond. What do you think Al Qaedas response will be at this point? I don't know because I think that he clearly was symbolically the head of al-Qaeda and still if

43:02 What we read in the press is to be believed. See, here's what we read in the press He's like downplaying it and now listen to his two very interesting things he's gonna say here I'll shut up about there being a veritable treasure trove of information on this concern So there it is the veritable treasure trove exact same words Yeah, a treasure trove is big deal. No veritable it's veritable what do they both use? Yes! Veritable! A veritable treasure. What does veritable mean? What is the veritable even mean? Who cares?! No I need to know now what is veritable? Veritable means virtual It means like a kind of a... Like I would say he's kind of at treasure trove or a bonanza of a treasure trove Well why did you just say bonanza

43:47 Hold on, words matter. Here it is... Being in fact the thing named and not false unreal or imaginary often used to stress the aptness of a metaphor The hell does that mean? Well it means the treasure trove It wasn't a treasure trove technically it was a metaphor for a buncha good stuff And so veritable just emphasizes the fact that what the metaphor which is treasure trove is really a treasure trove It's bull crap Wow, that sucks. Okay now it was like the diction talking dictionary over modulated all right here we go. Pewters was still thinking about what to do the operational head for a long time has been his number two Dr. Al Zawahiri Now I've never heard anyone refer to The Number Two Guy evil douchebag as doctor Doctor Al Zawahiri you know what i mean?

44:46 Did I you never heard that before? I've never heard of a doctor, but he's like doctor Like he lets it sink in like because he's intelligent. I think I've heard it before really I mentioned it people have called him dr Hair doctor number two doctor house over here II and and in recent years Al-qaeda is operated more like a franchise operation It's like McDonalds That's what it is a franchise Well they've set it up. With all of this stuff, it's like forget about it We're gonna be under terror alert for the rest of our lives Taking off your shoes and panties to get into the movies Yeah well I had to think yeah and also big sporting events It's gonna sink the economy

CHAPTER 16 / 42 Discussion

Afghanistan Exit Strategy, Richard Clarke and Judith Miller

The Obama administration's plan to withdraw 5,000 troops from Afghanistan is characterized as a political move rather than a true exit strategy. Former CIA official Richard Clarke and commentator Judith Miller have both appeared in media to discuss the long-term necessity of a US presence in the region. Critics argue the narrative is shifting to keep troops stationed there indefinitely despite the death of Bin Laden.

afghanistan· richard clarke· judith miller· cia· fox news· bill maher

45:34 It's all a bunch of bullcrap. Yeah, I mean we didn't have this kind of security during World War II when thousands and thousands and thousands of people tens of thousands of people were being killed And there were uh there was eight German agents blowing up bridges all over the country Because that was real makes this worse because i don't see any evidence doing anything because that was real because that was real This is just a money grab That's the difference Ah yeah What was I thinking? Yeah So we're gonna also be stuck in Afghanistan. I kind of tracked down the memes, there's a couple of them here that i have One is first presented to the left... Hey by the way, im sorry There was one thing you forgot about the second world war We did throw all the Japs into the brink And then back then they were called Japs Now their Japanese Americans

46:28 But uh, remember we threw them into camps? Yeah. On the west coast mostly. Well so isn't that the same thing that they were like terrorists and like hey they're terrorists! Japanese!! Well yeah but there wasn't a general attack on the public they didn't just start throwing everybody in camps They're not just you know harassing Arabs in the US of A No thats true So its I don't know... We've done that with like a You must be communist Yeah, shame you. This hasn't happened before but I think it's worse than ever my point is it's an American thing It's what we do so they've decided to make sure that the public is clued in on the fact We're not leaving Afghanistan just because we shot bin Laden and just because we won't went to Afghanistan To get bin Laden and break up al-qaeda That's why we went there supposedly now apparently not So what they've done is they sent their stooges CIA

47:28 Stooges from to the left wing, the wet left-wing audience Bill Maher. Yeah okay. They put Richard Clarke on Bill Maher and he gives his side of the story. Now who's Richard Clarke again so everybody knows? Richard Clark is this ex CIA guy who wrote a bunch of books and he was the head of the CIA's hunt for Bin Laden him into what everybody seems to be as a bunch of these guys but he's the main one you've seen them a million times He's that gray-haired, slow talking guy. He obviously still works... probably still a guest. Still a spook obviously. And he comes on and he just basically reads party line in very educational ways, very slow and deliberate but basically is giving the message

48:13 what you know we have to expect and then on the other side we have like on the right wing side, we had to bring somebody out so we are now using it looks like Judith Miller. The ex-stooge for that at The New York Times who was probably in the agency and she's the one who do kind of screwed the you know with certain people over it during the yellow cake thing she pushed a yellow cake I think so Bush could go to war in Iraq and she got fired, and now she's a fellow. How do you go from being a journalist or writer reporter to being a fellow in the Manhattan Institute? And a commentator on Fox. I don't know how do you that Adam can I get that job? Not anymore

48:59 So anyway, so she goes on Fox and gives her side of the story but it's the same story. One is given to the right one is given left listen to Richard Clark on staying in Afghanistan which kind of summarizes The article in The Washington Post this week they said they talked with some high-level people our government who say getting Middle Island really is the endgame for Afghanistan that this is our exit strategy and changes everything Is that true you think? No I don't. The president going to announce next month we're taking 5,000 troops out of Afghanistan over the course of the next few months so that he can say we're on the road out but, were not on the road out and I think will have US troops throughout his presidency even if gets re-elected will probably have US troops there at some number because the Afghans are such pathetic reorganized allies they're only you know the only worse ally could have is Pakistan

49:55 So the thing I don't understand is how we snuck into the psyche that Afghanistan is an ally. Afghanistan, weren't they a bunch of jabronis and they were hiding like the dude? And Bin Laden came from there and it was all like Al-Qaeda and now he's an ally? I gotta change this narrative! I don't get it... They're changing the narrative. I think here's another, the third party in this by the way is Charles Krauthammer or Heimer but he is on all these...He's on both the left and right side and he's like the guy in a wheelchair who was the most intellectual and he seems to be takes care of people in middle who may be wavering. And also have staying Afghanistan clip from him and I think he says basically same thing Clark

CHAPTER 17 / 42 Discussion

Charles Krauthammer on Pakistan, The Bismarck Metaphor

Charles Krauthammer argued that Pakistan, not Afghanistan, is the true "prize" and primary problem in the region's counter-terrorism efforts. Using a metaphor from Otto von Bismarck regarding the Balkans, Krauthammer suggested Afghanistan itself is of little value compared to its proximity to Pakistan. The US continues to utilize drone strikes within Pakistani borders to target militants.

charles krauthammer· pakistan· bismarck· drones· terrorism· prize

50:43 does but he says it to a different audience. So should we do Judith Miller first? Let's do Karzai. I do absolutely and agree with all of that except for one thing. I think we're looking at the Afghan-Pakistan relationship through the wrong end of a telescope. Conventional view is Afghanistan is the prize, and Pakistan is bit of problem because it works against us to provide safe haven etc.. I think its other way around. Afghanistan is not worth a hill of beans in itself

51:21 It reminds me of what Bismarck said about the Balkans, they are not worth the bones of a single Pomeranian grenadier. But what Afghanistan has is proximity to Pakistan. And by the way that metaphor really speaks to me. Unbelievable that he'd throw that in don't you think? Really I mean who was he talking too? somebody I guess some professor no idea Wow Pakistan is the prize or to put it another way Pakistan is the problem as we saw the bin Laden operation that's where the terrorists are living all kinds of stop right there he he I think he made a mistake in his script

52:03 He said Pakistan is the prize. Yeah, but he meant Pakistan as a problem and then he without skipping a beat But I think because he's really cool in terms of like he doesn't panic. He doesn't start this time. He's MK ultra'd so he goes Then he says is that B says it's the price then? He says the problem but it's the pride it is the prize and that's where of course all the terrorists are really from So that's the next move. We all know it is the next move. We already affected the occupied Pakistan, we bomb people with Pakistani's. Now you have our drones and they blow guys out of the... Yeah. We kill them all the time! You know why? It is what we do! What we do. So you don't have to play the rest of that, you get the idea Judith Miller has got a... I just want to hear his stumble again, that was kind of cool let us here Krauthammer stumble. Pakistan is the problem as we saw... Hold on, little bit back more

52:52 Somebody to Pakistan. Pakistan is the prize or to put it another way. Yeah, oh definitely Or um to put it another way Pakistan is the problem as we saw in the bin Laden operation The guy's professional but then the whole like the metaphor stuff he got lay off of that the analogy Maybe there was a code in there Yeah, it's like it woke me up. That's for sure. It got your attention. What are you gonna? Telling me something here Pakistan is the prize okay at work all right Judith Miller now where she on she's on Fox Judith Miller's on a news one of the new shows I think it was a fox 1 but she She goes onto some other little piece of information that and she has really deep in this thing In all these things and when she sees this is the Ministry of Truth

CHAPTER 18 / 42 Discussion

War Powers Act, Libya Intervention Deadlines

Judith Miller discussed the 60-day deadline of the War Powers Act regarding the US military intervention in Libya. While the Obama administration claims the mission is a NATO-led No-Fly Zone to protect civilians, critics point out that the "days, not weeks" timeline originally promised has been exceeded. The administration is expected to find legal workarounds to maintain involvement without formal Congressional authorization.

judith miller· libya· war powers act· barack obama· nato· deadline

53:42 through her as she's streaming it and it is very interesting what she has to say. Within weeks the future of US military involvement will be in jeopardy Judy Miller is an adjunct fellow at the Manhattan Institute and a Fox News contributor thanks for joining us, Judy Is Judy hot? You've seen her I don't remember her She looks like...she looks like an agent Well, like a Angelina Jolie agent? Go look her up while you're listening to this. Nice to be here Heather I'd like to start by talking about the War Powers Act President Obama used that to give him authority to send troops into Libya It has a deadline 60 days That's coming up What do you think will happen and what do you think should happen

54:26 Well, I think that the Libyan opposition group met with the White House yesterday and asked them that very question. Are you going to abandon us next Friday when the 60-day deadline that you just mentioned kicks in? And they got every assurance that the United States is in this to protect the Libyan people and that we're not going to abandon them until that goal is achieved. Now, the War Powers Act is 60 days. That is, Congress must authorize the use of military force after 60 days but it has a kind of month wiggle room

55:02 and the month with a room is the drawing down of forces. And, of course we have no ground troops in and on the ground in Libya were just doing a No-Fly Zone and they're through NATO so I think that the president is going to find a way around The War Powers Act as all presidents have. Oh please! Give me a break. This was nothing... It was never declared under the War Powers Act! He just went ahead and did it because NATO said so, we're the NATO's bitches I don't know whether you're right or wrong on that. It's beside the point, do you have the Obama clip where he says we'll be out in days? We said days! We're talking about 60 days already and two months and then she saids were going to be there a lot longer which of course we said initially too. This is not like a revelation for anyone who listens to this show

56:00 Yeah, I'm but it seems to be a revelation to someone but you got to keep that dead. Yeah, no, I I'm sorry It's like What show was that three? Oh, I mean how long ago was it 60 days right so How many shows ago so that's gotta be like two nine seven I don't know sometime ago my goodness this is unbelievable We're gonna be out in days, not weeks. Or months he says even in the clip and... Right? And meanwhile what did I see on CNN last night because C-SPAN was like nothing going on Chaz Bono Yeah! I saw a Chaz Bono on Letterman

CHAPTER 19 / 42 Discussion

Chaz Bono Media Tour, Piers Morgan Interview

Chaz Bono appeared on several talk shows, including Letterman and Piers Morgan, to promote a new book. The interviews covered Bono's transition and public life as the child of Cher. The media coverage was noted for its frequent use of post-operative B-roll, which some viewers found excessive during the promotional tour.

chaz bono· cher· piers morgan· letterman· book tour

56:54 I would so what I don't understand what Chaz is doing. So Chaz used to be at a book Oh, he's got a book okay chas used to be He's on everywhere yeah well Pierce Morgan. I know that's good anymore Well, no he's on everybody. He has been everywhere I mean he was on Letterman. Letterman did a really good job interviewing him because uh... he actually knows how to interview but yeah it is an interesting chastity. I enjoyed it! What turned me off though is that I'm interested in and Mickey has no idea Chad never heard of chastity anything you know she knows who Cher is this is not known outside the United States for some reason

57:35 And it was okay, I mean I don't mind the interview but then they're talking and then they show the B-roll of like post ops. Like no! I'm eating here. Oh, I don't want to see b-rolls But like over and over again it's like the same b-roll. It tells you something about Piers Morgan Yeah yeah exactly. It is US policy that Gaddafi needs to go but let me emphasize that we Anticipate this transition to take place in a matter of days and not a matter of weeks. Hello everybody March 21st 2011 March 8th Wow, March 21st show we really fly past episodes of this show goes fast doesn't it? I know I remember that being he's saying that almost yesterday But it was months ago, but then we're gonna be gone in a couple of days

NATO Airstrikes in Tripoli, Death of Imams

Reports from Tripoli indicate that 11 imams were allegedly killed during a NATO airstrike while they were sleeping in a guest house. The Libyan government held a funeral for the men, who were reportedly on a peace mission to reunify the country. Meanwhile, Muammar Gaddafi remains in hiding as the conflict between the regime and the US-backed opposition continues.

Officials here in Tripoli say that the 11 Imams were killed during the early morning hours as they slept in a guest house...

Yeah well it was short just take a train

CHAPTER 21 / 42 Discussion

Osama Bin Laden Diaries, Joe Biden Target Assessment

Diaries recovered from Osama bin Laden's compound reportedly suggest that he did not consider Vice President Joe Biden a high-priority target because the position lacks significant weight. The Obama administration briefed that the President and military chiefs were the primary targets. Additional reports claim a "veritable treasure trove" of information, including pornography, was found in the compound, though skeptics question the authenticity of these claims.

osama bin laden· joe biden· diaries· telegraph· porn· compound

1:00:20 But they have not yet been officially recognized as the new leaders of Libya by the United States. So that has to be made official still somehow. That's got to be their tough part? Well, there is already kind of say in it. They own the bank and shipping oil Everyone's got boots on the ground there except us so so we say everyone's got consultants So yeah, but we must have some consultant sir. I think we get away with that We've got helpers and everything you know the funniest thing though is just to go back to the veritable treasure trove And we gotta keep this in their John's the veritable treasure trove of information from art and porn from Osama bin Laden's compound apparently

1:01:09 They found in the veritable treasure trove of information, don't bother assassinating Joe Biden. Did you read this? Where'd you get this?! This is from The Telegraph! It's like, ah, don't bother about him... Don't bother about O'Biden nobody cares Really? Yeah, it says here. This is bullcrap! U.S officials have revealed that Osama Bin Laden's diaries contain the rather startling conclusion that he didn't think Vice President Joe O'Biden was worth bumping off

1:01:48 The Obama administration is briefing that Barack Obama was Bin Laden's top target, while military chiefs like the Chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff and Defense Secretary were also major scalps. But Joe Biden's scalp? Apparently not so much! A counterterrorism official said quote there is a note indicating that the Vice President is not an important target because that position has less weight Just leave O'Biden alone. That's bullcrap! They're making this stuff up John, duh the whole thing is made up please Why would they throw that in? You know why they threw it in probably O'biden was in one of the meetings and said you got to put this in there because I don't want me to be threatened I'm taking the train all the time and they can kill me if they think im a target I dont want no lone wolves getting me some Al Qaeda inspired lone wolves

1:02:37 Well, you're right. Don't you think it was planted in there for that reason? Because O'Biden's already on the train... always on the train Good point! Good point So the dumb lone wolves would say oh well that's okay then we'll just pass it back to him We'll pass on here Oh well he thinks they are not important Do you think that Obama is not in on this? Because Osama said so You think O'biden's not in on it? You think he's not in on the whole joke I mean do you know the porn thing is BS too I think he's in on the whole joke That's why he planted this piece of bull crap Maybe Maybe. It's the only thing that makes sense to me because why would they even care? What does he got a list of names what is the guy like a PR company He's go let's put you guys on the Nixon hit list I mean give me a break Anger fan Website that I follow they did it pretty nice expose of all these different pictures of The compound, the house, the mansion his lair The mansion! That mansion thing still kills me

1:03:38 But the half the pictures... I've seen Quonset huts that are nicer than that place.

Soap Opera Decline, General Hospital Dialogue

A discussion on the decline of the American soap opera era featured a clip of dramatic dialogue involving a surgeon struggling with drug addiction. Shows like General Hospital and One Life to Live are noted for their slow-moving plots and repetitive tropes. The segment suggests that the writing quality of these daytime dramas has failed to keep pace with modern television markets.

soap operas· general hospital· television· drama· pharmaceutical cocktail

1:04:39 So, um... Well if you want to change the topic I do have a- Yeah go ahead. This is the end of an era with soap opera so i've decided to cut some dialogue- Oh no! Did you find my Another World episode? I got the which one No I didn't but I got this soap opera dialogue a gem that I think people should listen to we're gonna be missing this sort of thing Talk about trying to stare down your demons You did it! I killed you But memory lingers on So tell me, which one of your little pills makes ghosts go away? Maybe it'll take more than one. Maybe a whole pharmaceutical cocktail! Shut up! Why?! We are what's that term strung out How long has it been since we popped our last little helper You don't want to think about it do you That you need a little something more and more frequently so how soon before you can't go an entire rotation or entire surgical procedure unaltered

1:05:39 Do you think the patients have a right to know that the lady with the scalpel is as high as a kite? Stop it, stop it! This was General Hospital no doubt. I don't know which one it was now that I think about it... I think it's Life To Live or something. Taking these clips just to remind people this has got a lost era in American history. So you still do not remember me, do ya? It's okay. It's gonna be okay. You will. And um, and you have to feel this connection right? You have to. I think i'd rather would watch Ellen than this This is horrible! This is really-this is bad stuff. This is just a random clip...This what you hear on these shows! I mean they've like maybe lost their writers or they're all working for Ellen No John they always sucked It was always horrible Yeah They're slow moving that's the problem it doesn't work in today's market Duh Nah its ridiculous Ugh

Intelligence Agency Funding, Bin Laden Commendation

The US House of Representatives voted 392-15 to fund 16 intelligence agencies with a budget exceeding $80 billion. The legislation included a provision praising the intelligence community for the successful operation against Osama bin Laden. Lawmakers emphasized that the funding is a priority for ensuring the safety of rail passengers and preventing future terrorist attacks.

intelligence budget· house of representatives· bin laden· ap· rail safety

1:06:43 So the it was kind of interesting they signed off they as in I guess it was at Congress. I hope this was the house basically, the the Secret Services have been Funded now here it is House 392 votes to 15 for funding the intelligence organizations And let me see if there's a resolution. How many organizations are there nowadays? Well, there is quite a bit. Last year's budget was $80 billion dollars and wow!

1:07:29 16 intelligence agencies to answer your question. So of course, the timing... Those are the ones that are financed and then of course they finance other research companies. There's like 3 million Americans who have top secret clearance. Yeah. It's just crazy! Almost every one out of ten Americans is a spy now. Essentially And then they and Lucy Napolitano is trying to turn the rest of us into spies right unpaid in the post office despite Unpaid unpaid spies. Hey, so give me a salary else I'll see something and say something so the timing of Of the bin Laden capture-and-kill kill clean kill it's a clean kill The tiny of the clean kill is uncanny for this and I don't even know if I didn't know for how much it is

1:08:19 But I'm sure it's more than the 80 billion from last year. I would just like to take us down memory lane... Oh, so what you're saying is that they did this episodic show of Killing Billion just before the vote on this showing how important this was? Seems to be kind of... I wonder who the 15 were that voted against it Let's see Does it say...? It should say somewhere Vote 392-15, reflection of the strong bipartisan support and goodwill towards the intelligence community after Bin Laden's death. I love these guys! This is AP Associated Press. The new House Republican rules prohibit the resolutions of commendation that lawmakers would often offer to congratulate everyone from the military to winning sports teams

1:09:14 Instead, lawmakers added a provision to the bill praising the intelligence community for the successful operation in bringing Bin Laden to justice. The provision was based on the Senate resolution that passed 97-0." Doesn't say who it was against? Of course not! Why would they even do that?! I'd be interested in who they were. Today's legislation will ensure that the US government places a priority on ensuring the safety of rail passengers around the country by working to prevent a terrorist attack on our system. That said John Carney from Delaware. What rail passengers? Yeah, really. Oh that's right! The ones that commute to Washington. To Washington exactly it's themselves

JFK Secrecy Speech, Modern Surveillance State

A 1961 speech by President John F. Kennedy warned against the dangers of excessive secrecy and official censorship in a free society. Kennedy argued that the survival of the nation is of little value if its traditions of open dissent do not survive. While originally directed at the communist threat, the speech is now viewed as a warning against the modern expansion of intelligence agencies and the Department of Homeland Security.

john f. kennedy· secrecy· censorship· communism· surveillance· 1963

1:10:04 So I just want to play a little bit. It's a five minute clip, but i'm going to play the part that is relevant. It's really the beginning as we go back to the early sixties. Gentlemen The very word secrecy is repugnant in a free and open society And we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies To secret oaths and to secret proceedings We decided long ago that the dangers of excessive and unwarranted concealment Of pertinent facts far outweighed the dangers which are cited to justify it. Even today, there is little value in opposing the threat of a closed society

1:10:48 by imitating its arbitrary restrictions. What's coming up in a second is important this of course is President John Fitzgerald Kennedy Oh yeah you can see why they had to kill him Yeah, it was very pertinent speech when you think about all that happened with the secret everyone's a spy in America spying but we have all these agencies are getting all this money and don't exactly know who they are and they had to kill him after he said this Even today There is little value in ensuring the survival of our nation if our traditions do not survive with it. And there is very grave danger that an announced need for increased security will be seized upon by those anxious to expand its meaning to the very limits of official censorship and concealment." Huh, hmm... Hmm John! Does that sound familiar?

1:11:43 Yeah! If you see something, say something. Just that I do not- What? It says just like Cuba. Go on. ...not intend to permit to the extent that it's in my control and no official of my administration whether his rank is high or low civilian or military should interpret my words here tonight as an excuse to censor the news to stifle dissent to cover up our mistakes or to withhold from the press and the public the facts they deserve to know. For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covet means for expanding its sphere of influence." Hmm, who could that be? Who could it be?! "...on infiltration instead of invasion... ...on subversion instead of elections... ...on intimidation

1:12:40 Instead of free choice. It must be the Boy Scouts it must be some group like that damn those boy scouts on gorillas by night instead of armies by day it is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources mm-hmm into the building of a tightly knit highly efficient machine that combines military diplomatic intelligence economic scientific and political operations Okay, so When you see your parents, and I hope they're alive or maybe give them a call and say hey bastard You were warned that you did nothing. And now look at what we've got Now i'm looking to you Dvorak What about it? Yeah when you kind of old enough For what? To have stopped all this insanity the president warned you in 1963 he warned right there He said... He's talking about the communists Oh yeah! Yeah okay Right Really

1:13:47 I don't think so. Well, that's what he was talking about at the end of that speech He was talking about the communists He was an anti-communist nut But if you transpose his speech it could be talking about international bankers Yes Talking about the oil cabal It could be talking about intelligence agencies that all gang up on us Yes He could be talking about the Department of Homeland Security It is kind of universal speeches actually quite good Yep Squirrel! Lucy Napolitano Absolutely Okay, before we get into our it'll be a short segment. So let me Let me play little bit of elitist Lucifer Clinton in the room and she's being in because you know Everyone's in Rome Because he had to be enrolled with this. She's in Rome should get a new haircut Yeah Well, she got it styled wasn't yeah new clothes You gotta start you should see the room show notes at 304 dot na show notes calm Should see that rooms is this like her hotel room?

Hillary Clinton Rome Interview, Situation Room Photo

During an interview in Rome, Hillary Clinton discussed the famous photograph of the White House Situation Room during the Bin Laden raid. Clinton claimed she was unaware of a photographer and was intensely focused on the mission, though critics suggest she may have simply been yawning or bored. The segment highlights the "Ministry of Truth" aspect of how the administration manages its public image through staged or curated media.

1:14:48 It's like, it is like... It's Caesar. Caesars palace except the real one That what her suite is now and she being interviewed and I just heard the story is the same because you know of course the question comes up about You know the picture in her hand in front of her mouth But she lays into it a little bit differently. I love watching the video of the elites when they're out of the country, when they're getting interviewed by foreign press because they kind of forget You know that one of those things where you're out of the country, think you can do things and get it. You can say whatever you want because who's going to... I've noticed this is funny as everybody has like you do yeah all sudden you doing shots off some chicks belly button right John so yeah not about to ask about what was going on in the war room at that moment yes you saw that didn't you

1:15:48 Yes, it was just a fabulous moment. It was really great I'm so pissed off about my hair. I cannot avoid to ask you about what was going on in the war room at that moment You had spoken by yourself But i mean what's the mood there? What was the president feeling? Well listen well Well let me tell you...you know..I just hadn't had my hair done and he was like that! But I mean, what was the mood there? What was the president feeling? Do you hear that?! Do you hear how she's talking? Well... well come over here. Let me pour you some more tea!

1:16:27 But I mean, what was the mood there? What was the president feeling you know that picture is great. It's going to be down in history. That picture is great! Let's play it. I want to hear it. Okay. Just...I can't help myself. It's so horrible. Alright. You cannot avoid asking about what was going on in the war room at that moment. You have spoken about yourself But I mean, what was the mood there? What was the President feeling? You know that picture is great. It's going to be down in history of United States probably the world but what was going on there? You know, I have to tell you...I wasn't even.. I don't even think I was aware there was a photographer there. I think we were all concentrating so intently on what we were doing and what we were learning about this very dangerous mission that the president had ordered

1:17:18 I think any human being can appreciate the flood of feelings that one would experience. This was 38 minutes where we had no way to do anything other than hope and pray that the men who were carrying it out would do so successfully and safely their professionalism, their courage. Yeah blah blah blah but what she doesn't say is what her message has been is like I had to sneeze... I think you're right and I looked at that picture over and over again you said that she was yawning yeah she's bored! She's like ahhhhhhh I think she was yawning too. Yeah she's bored but notice she's not saying that when in Rome it's like oh well seeing as I am like a badass bitch

1:18:05 You know, and I'm right there in the situation room. Yes it was so intense! It was never a doubt but we had tried to think through every contingency that could go wrong and plan for it But you don't know until it happens. She's not saying anything, she is just blabbering! Yeah and she doesn't mention that the video went out for 25 minutes And who is she kidding about? Oh we didn't know there was a photographer in the room flash flash flash! By the way this is nice from the Ministry of Truth The White House has now said

White House Speech Reenactments, News Photography Policy

The White House announced it is ending the practice of having presidents reenact televised speeches for news photographers. Press Secretary Josh Earnest stated the arrangement was a "bad idea" and that the administration is looking for new ways to work with the media. This change follows criticism that major addresses were being faked for the benefit of still photographers after the live event concluded.

white house· josh earnest· photography· reenactment· news media

1:18:44 It is ending its long-running practice of having presidents reenact televised speeches for news photographers following major addresses to the country. See? We accomplished something! I guess a bunch of people must have noticed this bullcrap. Yeah, you know like excuse me it's like he comes back and hello everybody we just killed Osama Bin Laden and it's fake He's doing it over again for the photographers Let me see if there are any Josh Earnest said Wednesday that we've concluded that this arrangement is a bad idea. The administration, however, is open to working out some new arrangements with the photographers." So how are they going to... I got an idea! Here's a novel concept

1:19:38 Why don't you like let reporters, like actually take pictures of the real news as it's happening?

Media Assassination, NPR Lobbying Allegations

National Public Radio (NPR) is accused of hiring a major PR firm to lobby the government for continued funding. This discussion is framed within the context of "media assassination," where independent outlets attempt to expose the influence of corporate and government interests on public broadcasting. The segment also touches on how the Bin Laden news cycle is being used to distract from these underlying financial maneuvers.

1:29:38 So this is a little earlier than I can get stuff normally goes down in the summertime, but this was much earlier and it's concerning seems premature. Yeah, it seemed concerned about it and it was not like we put in less work now again maybe just the last show sucked on our own and we really try that out think they've been lot and thing helped us. Yeah, that's possible There is a correlation between that. When you get this huge news, and maybe people are disappointed because we kind of try to ignore it because it's so boring cause doesn't matter the damage has already done right? It's like it doesn't matter if he is dead, alive or whatever. That would just make us conspiracy theorists to get into all that Well we are conspiracy theorists I don't think it's a big deal but there still whether he is dead and could be alive they took somebody out of the compound supposedly The story is sketchy Maybe they wanted some more creative answers to this scenario Or some creative ideas

1:30:40 Some wild theories that no one's ever even thought of in a million years kind of thing I don't know like the guy is not been Lon. It was this Fred guy Yeah And apparently Fred liked to watch porn and TV, I don't know. But what kind of porn? I don't care if it's a veritable treasure trove or if they said don't kill O Biden or anything... You know what I'm surprised at since they're making stuff up as they go along right? Yeah. Kitty porn! You know, that's the kiddie porn. Don't you think it would drop that bomb on us? Yeah, that is a really good point That is forthcoming I mean, I'm just waiting for the connection between if you watch porn you could be apart of Al Qaeda or you could be a lone wolf I mean, that what its gonna come off right It has got to happen But kiddie porn... yeah maybe

1:31:34 Well, maybe you might be right because they may be just associating porn with terrorism and they don't want to get too carried away. Because it's going to be harder to pull that one off but you could pull off the... You watch, you read, look at porn a lot? That's why we have to... They can see Lucy coming out saying that's why we have to be investigating these porn which by the way and we've already pointed out the fact that nudity is now porn based on you know somebody's idea so you have a naked picture of someone it's your watching you're gonna hear it here and your terrorists terrorists that's right squirrel to help us assassinate the media support our show this is the only thing we do we don't hire PR firms to lobby the government like our national treasure NPR is now done they either hired a big PR firm to go and lobby the government to get money

AGT International, Bill Clinton on Internet Credibility

Bill Clinton interviewed Mati Kochavi, CEO of AGT International, regarding the need for a "credibility bar" on internet search results. Kochavi argued that current search algorithms prioritize popularity over accuracy, turning the internet into a digital tabloid. They proposed a system of ratings and ingredients for information, similar to food labeling, to help users distinguish between professional content and unverified blogs.

1:32:24 You know, maybe this is a good time to do this right now. Hold on a second This is another part of... ...this interview It's kind of crazy because it was Bill Clinton and I'm going to the birthdays and everything Our payoff in a second John This is all really kinda relevant So its Bill Clinton And the guy who's paying him clearly Because you know Bill Clinton sits on all these boards Of all these companies The guy makes so much money And it's, what is his name? Mati Kochavi. An Israeli guy and he is the CEO of AGT International. And AGT International is a huge company that ever since 9-11 has been selling all kinds of cyber security software to the American government. Hundreds of billions of dollars worth of crap that we bought from this company

1:33:18 And also one of the directors is Prince Christiaansen or something like that, one of the Dutch princes. House Of Orange... These guys are all losers! All of them! They got no business being in business whatsoever but they're always at Goldman Sachs or some other important place so it's an elitist bunch of pricks at this company and they're gonna lay it out for you how the ministry of truth shall work. So first this guy is going to tell you that the internet's all messed up, it's completely... This is why you need to support our show seriously this is the exact reason The Internet's all messed up nothing is true we need a Ministry of Truth and Bill Clinton is gonna tell you exactly how are gonna do it Without being so repressive your basically

1:34:01 trying to deny access to information technology. He's interviewing the guy now, so he is supposed to be interviewed by Maria Bartiromo Bill Clinton starts interviewing this CEO of this Israeli company which has a US base So he's like shilling the company, so these guys are going to be installing the filters that you will have to deal with which will eventually cut us out. Preserve autocracy You know we talk about governments I would start with companies let's take example of search engines companies When we search something and ask for a question, and we get it. We are very pleased because we got the answer And we have not been asked to pay for it So when you look at the search engine companies or platforms that were saying those are great guys? We forget there two things we forget what motivates Oppositions the result of this search on the top is going to be advertising What's going to be algorithms and the algorithms that are looking for information Are not based on accuracy

1:34:59 They're based on popularism. They saying where is the most interesting side that most of the people visit and that's what brings it to the top of the search It's like taking the tabloids and turning into the front page of The Wall Street Journal Now you understand what's going on? He said he setting Billy boy up to punch at home so It begins with the companies. Why can't we have a credibility bar near every result of search? And you're going to say, okay this information comes because it was written by a great blogger or it was written by 15 years old person or it was written by a very serious person. When we buy food, we have ingredients on the food when I go to see movie, we have rating Who puts that credibility bar in? Oh and John how do you think will rate on the credibility bar? Do you think will be like all the way in the green

Proposed Federal Agency for Internet Truth

Former President Bill Clinton suggested the creation of an independent federal agency, similar to the BBC or NPR, to verify the accuracy of information on heavily visited websites. This "Ring The Bell" agency would be designed to counter falsehoods and protect reputations from online attacks.

1:35:46 You know this by the way, I think probably in the late 90s. deal I mean these company this is not the first guy who's come up with this idea no no irony of course i want to point this out that people is that Google actually does that internally with their search as already but there's idea putting another layer on top of things his credibility or whatever you want to call it there isn't a better word for it that people use when they're trying to sell venture capitalists on the idea is bogus engagement No, there's an... that's another word. Everything is engaging. The social graph will be so much better So here's Bill and he's gonna tell us what we need How should we do this? Well, he's got the answers I mean would you want to see the internet regulated? Well, the fact that it hasn't been explains one of the reasons its grown like crazy

1:36:42 and even regulators wind up having their own interests at stake. Is there a role for government in terms of ensuring that the information out there is accurate, and someone cannot just hurt someone else? Oh you hurt me! You said something bad on the internet and you hurt me! Through their reputation by attacking them with stories Well I think it would be a legitimate thing to do but If you wanted to do it, for example you wanted to set up some sort of agency that would be a ring the bell. A Ring The Bell? Hello John! What are talking about an agency of tru- what does this guy know about anything?! Hello we are from the Ring The Bell Agency of Hot Pockets We're here to tell whether this blog post is good or not You know our... on heavily visited sites

1:37:37 This allegation has been made and here are the facts if the government were involved I think you'd have to do two things. Here are the facts! It's called Snopes. Yeah, facts dot org is what it's called. Or if you had a multinational group like the UN the United Nations. Oh yeah, have the UN censor internet for us? It gets better it gets better I think number one you'd have to be totally transparent about where the money came from and number two you would have to make it independent it had to be like an independent let's say US did it has to be an independent federal agency that no president could countermand or anything else because people wouldn't think that you were just censoring the news and giving a different falsehood out

1:38:24 That is, it would be like I don't know National Public Radio or BBC or something like that. Thank you Bill. Our national public radio our national treasure! This is our struggle this is our struggle and please support our cause. Well, getting just in under the wire and celebrating the last birthday on this heavenly earth is Izzy's seventh birthday. Anthony... how do we pronounce it? Cobler? Cobeeler? Cobler. You're not helping me out, John.

Darnay Hoffman Suicide, JonBenet Ramsey Lawyer

Attorney Darnay Hoffman, known for representing the parents of JonBenet Ramsey and "subway vigilante" Bernie Getz, reportedly died after stabbing himself in the chest. The New York Times described the act as a "final act involved unusual drama," but skeptics question the likelihood of a successful lawyer committing suicide via chest stabs. Hoffman was also famously married to the "Mayfair Madam" Sydney Biddle Barrows.

1:40:13 And even though it's all bogus, I mean because there is no... we don't have access to any of this paperwork or people come out and say well...

Darna no so darn a Hoffman famously was married to The Mayfair madam So he and there was a lot of clients but he also was suing the Ramseys

1:41:13 John and Patsy Ramsey parents of JonBenet Ramsey said you know because he said I I'd you know Who murdered JonBenet? He also represented they had famous clients Bernie Getz so here's a lawyer who's you know been doing a lot of you know, there are a lot of interesting people that he's represented but he killed himself I shouldn't laugh but how can you make me believe that this lawyer, very successful lawyer killed himself after stabbing himself in the chest? I mean really he stabbed himself in the chest yeah come on guys that's not creative. The hot tub is better with a top on please stabbed himself in the chest

Texas Anti-TSA Bill, Indecent Groping Prohibition

The Texas House passed a bill sponsored by Republican David Simpson that makes it illegal for security personnel to touch a traveler's private areas during searches. The measure specifically prohibits touching the anus, sexual organs, buttocks, or breasts, even through clothing. The bill aims to protect the dignity of travelers and prevent what is described as "indecent groping" by TSA agents.

1:43:03 The House has passed a bill that makes it illegal for anyone conducting searches to the, and they've been very specific. This is the anti-TSA search bill you've been following this I presume? Yeah! It's pretty funny Well yeah so let me read this because of course now we finally get to say all these nasty words in print Approved late last Thursday night the measure makes it illegal for anyone conducting searches To touch the anus sexual organ buttocks or breast Of other person including through clothing It also prohibits searches that would be offensive to a reasonable person. Chief sponsor of the bill, Republican David Simpson who said this has to do with the dignity and travel and prohibiting indecent groping searches I believe investigating poop is still okay so you can still investigate a poop diaper but uh... You can no longer- we need to print this out Excuse me! Excuse Me! You weren't playing on touching my anus were ya? Here it is in black & white

1:44:05 This is good. I think Texas may be a place to move to We'll see So that has, is that now law or just through the house and still has to go through more? Well it's not passed completely but they have a similar thing here in San Mateo County supposedly the DA there says if anybody does anything like what they do at the airport They're going to prosecute and I haven't seen any examples of that They talk a big game Right And so the TSA just does what it wants and that's the end of it. Well, we'll see I mean...I do have hope! I do have faith. I have no hope This is Northwest Indiana Now this was crazy a lot of people emailed me this one in a three to two decision Justice Stephen David now was he one of these Obama appointed guys?

Indiana Supreme Court Ruling, Police Entry Rights

The Indiana Supreme Court, in a 3-2 decision written by Justice Stephen David, ruled that homeowners cannot legally resist a police officer's entry into their home, even if the entry is unlawful. This ruling has been criticized as a significant blow to Fourth Amendment protections against unreasonable search and seizure. Justice David was recently appointed to the bench by Governor Mitch Daniels, a potential Republican presidential candidate.

1:44:59 Write it for the court saying if a police officer wants to enter a home for any reason. Oh, yeah this one This is big news I think this amazing Yeah or no reason at all A Homeowner cannot do anything to block the officers entry now This makes no sense it makes plenty of sense if you're George the third Yeah, George w Obama the third I mean isn't that the fourth amendment? It's what, search and seizure just come barreling in anytime you feel like it. Yeah What the British used to do that caused the American Revolution to fomented the American Revolution just come barging in because you feel like it any time you want which is basically what this leads to its like hey yeah I wanted to see your collection I wanted hey can I come and use your computer no you know then you come

Wait a minute we have audio hold on a second We've got a clip here Daniels here we go In a group of admirable finalists Stephen David stood out first for the breadth and diversity of experience

1:47:02 In addition to a distinguished 15-year tenure on the bench, he spent years in business on the receiving end of law and regulation. He compiled a highly decorated military career during which he was tested in one of the most sensitive and challenging legal assignments possible." And he's a drunk! I heard clearly from Steve and David Expression is yeah, we gotta look into this. So this is Mitch Daniels who picked this guy Mitch Daniels that would be presidential candidate on the Republican side Yeah picks this cook this guy Oh, he's done. Yeah, it's crazy isn't it?

EMP Strike Scare, Porn House Anecdote

A low-flying four-engine propeller aircraft caused windows to rattle and power to flicker at a host's residence, leading to a brief fear of an EMP strike. This event led to an anecdote about the house's history as a former filming location for Vivid Entertainment adult movies. Neighbors reportedly avoided the new residents for weeks, assuming they were involved in the adult film industry due to the presence of production lights and cameras in the garage.

1:49:34 So, why do you think that is? I don't know. Almost every single night I wake up at 2 o'clock and then it takes me hours to get back to sleep again. I try to stay up for a couple of hours... I do! But on show day it's kind of tough because when finally like 5 o'clock oh I can fall asleep again then the alarm goes off at five thirty but here's what happened yesterday so there was another one those two two o'clock in the morning I wake up like ah you know and actually got out of bed had a cup tea some green tea And then so I go back to bed around 4 or 4.30. Mickey comes into the room around 9.30, says something's really wrong and like what you know this is like this is not my favorite way of waking up it's like why? He said a four-engine propeller aircraft just came over the house really low It was like that the windows were rattling and the power went off

1:50:30 And seriously, she said what is happening? I thought EMP strike is what I'm thinking. And it happened like two more times just a blip right just an a little blip of power and which of course kills the computers and everything reboots and it gets all crazy except that I have one computer on a battery you should have a bunch batteries in the house yeah I have one on a battery we'll get some more but how weird is that that it came... You sure this wasn't a dream? No, no. It was... Mickey came into waking me up and said I've never seen an airplane like this fly so... It's just a four engine propeller driven airplane

1:51:09 Came over really low, going in a direction that we rarely see any aircraft going. And then the power went out I'm like... EMP strike! That's it! I am amazed were still on there! EMP Strike at the house! Yeah! That is what it is Is that what happened honey or not? She wouldn't be listening. You are in neighborhood with lot of houses you think people would complain Are you isolated? No, not entirely. If I had an Apache with a couple of missiles could i just take your place out easy it drone yeah I'd never know what hit me you could drone me in a second and the neighbors would be like oh well that's exactly what would happen Oh well its the porn house who cares is just them this is the pornhouse you know that right I've told you the story

1:51:57 You told me something about it used to be used for making porn movies. Yeah, but it's the only house... Do you know any movies that were actually filmed there that you can get copies of? I have yeah apparently Vivid Entertainment so we'd have to go look at them. They do most of the work nowadays. That's why the neighbors didn't come over with a cake and after three weeks we finally went across the street today what's up with this they said oh you're actually renting the place yeah Oh, well yeah. Because that's what we've always been recognized for. You were going in and out? You and Mickey thought you were a couple of porn actors?! Yeah! And we had like lights and cameras in the garage and stuff... ...you know for The Big App Show I'm like oh... That's a really long feature they're shooting over there so they thought that we were like... It was going on forever We weren't porn actors! This is bad right!?

Online Alzheimer's Test, Food for the Brain

An online "Cognitive Function Test" provided by the charity Food for the Brain claims to detect early signs of Alzheimer's disease. However, a walkthrough of the test reveals it functions more as a data-gathering survey for research purposes than a clinical diagnostic tool. The test includes questions about memory lapses and a timed mouse-clicking exercise to measure reaction speed.

1:52:45 Yeah, because people look funny at you. I wonder what that guy's package looks like? And even though we've kind of confirmed that we're not they still don't really come over and hang out. They don't think they're really buying it still. They don't want to be in the movie! They just are not buying it. Oh my goodness... Hey good news though John really really good news from the vaccine front It is just unbelievable There is now an online test for early signs of Alzheimer brought to you by foodforthebrain.org It's the... An online test? Yeah! It's the cognitive function test and uh, do you want take it with me? Well I'll tell ya what a real test is when they're testing ya Count- people can do this in their spare time count backwards from 100 x 7 So it'd be 193 86

1:53:43 79 72 like that yeah so far your head In my head? Yeah. Okay, but not now Do you want to do the cognitive function test I guess so The results of this test may indicate that you have mild cognitive impairment or the first signs of a memory problem Are you happy to proceed with the test there's four checkboxes one I wish to complete the cognitive function test yes I give consent for the charity to use my data to calculate my test result. We got check that box, I give consent for the charity to store my data from me to undertake future comparison and and the fifth choice is what test? I get it! I give my consent for the charity to use my results anonymously for research purposes this is not a good test

1:54:42 This is not a test, this is the cheap way of doing a poll. Yeah let's see terms of use oh my gosh there's like a whole terms of use if I'd known this I wouldn't have brought it up what do we have to do? So just ask a question or two yeah but I'm just gonna agree with the terms of service without having read it? Yeah! Before you know it I'll be the human centi-pad Do it. Okay, first of all I got a feeling your name John Hey David Burkham don't bogus name wouldn't Lucy Napolitano okay Lucy alright here we go It's only asked for first name Lucy I gotta select the year you have to be at least 50 so what year would we have to select? We'll just take 1950 right that puts in 60 country United States

1:55:33 Please remind me to retake the test in a year. Yeah, this is funny! It's an Alzheimer's test that's gonna remind you. Please send me your mental health e-newsletter every other month. Nice Okay so it'd be lucy at dh s dot gov What's uh... Homo Seistein Test Result if known? What is that? I don't know Alright, I don't know what that is Next please just take me to the test Okay Oh my gosh This is you're right. It's a stupid pole it's like okay here We go years in education full-time how many years?

No right you don't right Nobody does at what age were they formally diagnosed doesn't apply That's a survey question take any of the following So we just take no supplements This is lame oh here We go this computerized test consists of four parts

1:57:32 Alright, blotty blotty blot. Oh! The first test is simply to assess your mouse click speed. OH! So if you play Worlds of Warcraft you're probably gonna pass the test? This is great! Please click on all of the round buttons this is a timed test so please click all button as quickly as you can oh my gosh okay uh-uh It's crazy. I don't have a good mouse, i've got a trackpad Really the mouse makes the difference Yeah of course it does What if you're using one of those pointing things?

1:58:20 This is so bogus. I'm going to show you a grid the crib has five vertical columns each column is labeled A to E Arranged across the columns are 20 items, and I will ask you identify each item what? It's like they're showing me scissors kangaroo. I'm not playing this is stupid But it's a real test Scissors Kangaroo yeah try the counting backwards thing it scissors kangaroo anyway, so The Alzheimer's thing is just off the chart. No, we spotted this a couple months ago as it was major meme going on in the country for some reason obviously for some vaccine and which is since they don't really know what causes Alzheimer's it seems unlikely there's a vaccine for it however there's good news

Smart Shoes for Dementia, Caregiver Risk Study

New Zealand is issuing GPS-enabled "smart shoes" to help track dementia and Alzheimer's sufferers who may wander and get lost. Additionally, a Harvard study suggests that caregivers of spouses with dementia face a 31% increased risk of experiencing their own cognitive decline. These developments are being used to support the theory that an unidentified infectious agent may be linked to the disease.

So we can track you when you get lost, unless of course you forget to put your shoes on which would kind of suck. My shoes were stolen! It's like... You gotta look at the links at 304.nashownotes.com it's unbelievable the amount everyone's jumping on this bandwagon here Alzheimer's caregivers may be at risk for dementia Husbands and wives... How's that work? They found a virus?! Yeah, husbands and wives who care for a spouse with Alzheimer's disease or other kinds of dementia may face an increased risk of mental decline themselves according to... Oh this is the hint that there is some sort of a virus or bacteria causing this thus the vaccine will do something. Oh yeah it's all coming! It's all coming. So this was very subtle what evidence is there of this? A survey

2:00:20 In 2004 Harvard researchers reported that older women who took care of a disabled or ill spouse were 31% they should have done 33 more likely to have a low score on a standard test for cognitive function compared to women at the same age you are not caregivers. Yeah it's unbelievable Well, you know the funny thing is I mean it's possible that Alzheimer's is caused by some agent but they've never identified it. Can't trade lows Then our national treasure broke the news. This is another thing people have been emailing there's now They're not really saying it exactly yet, but they've there's a miracle cure for AIDS I'm sorry HIV now I have my own thoughts about that which we don't discuss on this show too much stories to this came up just recently yeah and it's a little out of the blue so here's in a nutshell what they're saying is

HIV Prevention Pill, NPR Medical Report

A new study reported by NPR suggests that taking a daily antiviral pill can significantly reduce the transmission of HIV between partners. The World Health Organization is expected to issue new recommendations this summer regarding the use of these drugs for prevention. Medical experts emphasize that this treatment requires a lifelong commitment to daily medication to remain effective.

hiv· aids· npr· antiviral· world health organization· prevention

2:01:17 If we give you this stuff soon enough, then even if you're infected, you won't get full-blown AIDS. And if you're a partner of someone who has HIV and by the way it's very confusing they say AIDS, HIV, HIV AIDS... You know all this stuff all mixed up then you probably will never get as long as you take your medicine slaves and transmit to others The new study suggests if they could be found and persuaded to take an antiviral pill once or twice a day, the spread of HIV could be slowed down a lot. So is this like... Is that Doug? Yeah it's our national treasure, NPR I think it's all things considered Around the world 30 million people are infected with HIV only 5 million are getting treatment

2:02:03 Dr. Ken Mayer of Brown University says the new study has just added millions more to the list of who should be getting treated. Oh, we gotta get these customers! New customers John, we found new customers! The challenging news is that this creates an increased number people who would benefit from treatment so the gap between the number people on treatment and the number of people who would benefit from treatment actually increases by these findings But efforts to expand treatment have stalled So, in a sense today's news pits those who need treatment because they're ill with HIV against those who should get it to prevent new infections. I mean...I'm literally hearing them say you know you kind of gotta take this just in case

2:02:45 This is some dude that we what we missed here as we missed a PR agency. That's obviously behind this bullcrap story Yeah, well they're big because there it's yeah when you get on NPR with that kind of coverage You got your one of the big boys But even if the drug were freely available It's not easy to get people to take it the pill does not remove HIV and it's not a one-time procedure So when we talk about earlier therapy, we're talking about people making commitment to taking medications on a regular basis for essentially the rest of their lives. The World Health Organization says it will put out new recommendations this summer on how to strike the balance between prevention and treatment. Richard Knox NPR News That's right!

Peace Corps Rape Allegations, Congressional Hearing

A Congressional hearing addressed a history of sexual assault and rape within the Peace Corps, with volunteers testifying that the organization prioritized its reputation over their safety. Reports indicate that these issues have been documented since at least 2002, despite claims of improved safety measures. The hearing highlighted the lack of action taken against assailants in foreign countries where volunteers are stationed.

peace corps· congress· rape· c-span· volunteers· safety

2:03:39 So, I guess that's it. I actually have a story... No, you've got all kinds of stuff. I don't have that much but there is a story that has been developing and is covered on C-SPAN and they repeated it And it's the rape, apparently the Peace Corps has had a history of rapes. Yeah there was a congressional hearing about this! Yeah big congressional hearing and they took the latest Peace Corps lackey and they scolded him but apparently I was looking into this do you mind play the Peace Corps clip and i'll tell you couple things happen.

2:04:38 But today it was painted as an organization more concerned about its own reputation than protecting its own volunteers. Yeah, yeah there was a I did see that on C-SPAN But I couldn't wait. I was too bored to wait for the rape so I looked at all the different directors to see where this began This has been going on for a lot apparently real long time and what's overlooked in all these reports is in 2002 and this is available online if you do a little digging In 2002, the Peace Corps did a huge document which is available online as a PDF file about rapes and safety in the Peace Corps saying that it's improved a lot since You know 10 or 15 years earlier So apparently

2:05:19 This is not only a news, this is not a new story by any means. It's just being brought up for some reason and in 2002 you know I guess it has been getting worse since the document was, this report, this research report was done The whole thing is ridiculous but as I was listening to this I have kind of and don't have any conclusions to make I did end up with a technical question, broadcasting question. A more general question that maybe some of the podcasters out there might be interested in hearing the answer to it an Ask Adam piece Oh my goodness! You're going to roll it out on me and right near the end of the show? Well hold on a second...

CHAPTER 40 / 42 Discussion

Broadcast News Packages, Audio Ambience Discrepancy

A technical critique of broadcast news "packages" focuses on the jarring transition between a reporter's live intro and their recorded voiceover. Reporters often record voiceovers in soundproof booths, creating a sterile audio quality that clashes with the natural ambience of the on-site footage. This practice is criticized as an unnecessary and "stupid" industry standard that detracts from the realism of the reporting.

broadcasting· news package· voiceover· b-roll· ask adam· audio engineering

2:06:04 So I'm listening to this and this is something that I've always been fascinated with which is packages. Now in the broadcast medium, a package is when you're like a reporter and you go and produce a little segment. You voice over some B-roll or something. It's a report! It's these reports when they cut to a read they have somebody talking and they cut to a report right a bunch of clips This is called the package. Let's say it's a ready-made piece of material of content, and it usually has a little bit of B roll just video at the front that while the newscaster is

2:06:40 doing the intro to the piece, which is also delivered with the package as a script. Then they can start rolling that in and then that's back time so you stop talking and then the audio comes up when the package starts. Right now the thing that always happens...and I've seen this and I witnessed it and i've done it When you do a package, they put you in it. They always insist that you go into soundproof room to do the voiceover or the voice for the package and so this sound changes because your like a reporter in an open area and your talking into microphone has lot of ambience Oh! So what are you talking about doing? You're... Do you do intro to own package then its own package Yeah! A lot people talk about people who do their own packages That's not good. You can't do the intro to your own packages. That is lame

2:07:24 That's very common. You see it all the time on the... Well, no here's how good you're on remote and then your you know the newscaster tosses to this well thank you very much John yes we'll hear at the courthouse brrraa and then they look down because of looking at the monitor than the package starts that may have their voice over yeah your right and it usually is there in like some oh gotta be really quiet in the booth Yeah but here what happens here's a here's an example I end out this is what Play the Ask Adam clip. You can hear the difference in the voice on the regular mic and then the voice in the soundproof booth. ...than protecting its own volunteers. Karestan Konin was working for the Peace Corps in Niger... See? Yeah, yeah I know! Why do they do this?! I'm asking you this is Ask Adam why do you change from- I'll tell you why now by the way I would never do this

2:08:14 I would say it's because they are drones and they get distracted and they have to be so professional. And usually, they're being told what to say. So they sit in the bus It's just, you know what it is? Stupid is what it is. It's stupido I have...I hear this over and over again You hear the person talking in free air with a lot of ambience to the voice because they're outside And then their package rolls And why don't they voice the package In the same environment so that the voice sounds the same It sounds like a different person Yeah So here's the uh... Well, okay, so you don't have a good answer for me If my rightist I was forced to confront him in front of the Peace Corps medical director

2:09:00 Who had chided me being forced to see this man again to speak to him and to convince the Peace Corps He had raped.

Vivek Kundra Data Hero Award, IBM and EMC

Vivek Kundra, the first Chief Information Officer of the United States, received the "First Annual Data Hero Visionary Award" from IBM and EMC. Critics argue the award is a PR maneuver by tech giants seeking lucrative government cloud computing contracts. The situation is compared to MTV creating the "Video Vanguard Award" specifically to honor Michael Jackson and secure his performance at an awards show.
