About this episode

Barack Obama signed an extension of the Patriot Act using an autopen, triggering a constitutional debate over Article 1, Section 7 and the physical presence of the President during bill signings. The move coincides with a theory that multiple programmed versions of the President exist, following a European tour where he mistakenly referenced 2008 campaign slogans. Meanwhile, Section 215 of the Patriot Act now allows the FBI to seize any tangible things, including personal records, while enforcing strict non-disclosure gag orders on recipients.

Representative Anthony Weiner faces intense scrutiny following the Wienergate scandal, where a lewd photo was transmitted from his Twitter account to a woman in Seattle. While Weiner claims his account was hacked, the incident highlights a lack of mainstream media coverage compared to Republican scandals. In the defense sector, Lockheed Martin reported a massive security breach just as China officially acknowledged the existence of an elite cyber warfare unit. Additionally, reports from the Associated Press regarding Muammar Gaddafi's troops using Viagra for mass rapes are being questioned as potential wartime propaganda.

Nicola Kress is officially designated as Saint Nicola during a formal daming ceremony to recognize her support of the No Agenda Roundtable. The hosts also explore the etymology of the SlutWalk movement and the American Psychiatric Association's potential inclusion of Hypersexual Disorder in the DSM-5. The program concludes with a look at Joe Biden's Chrysler loan claims and a recommendation for the book Unmentionable Cuisine as a guide for eating rat meat during economic collapse.

Obama Robot Theory, Autopen Signatures, and Egypt Protests

Barack Obama signed an extension of the Patriot Act using an autopen, sparking a debate regarding Article 1, Section 7 of the U.S. Constitution. Speculation arises concerning the use of automated signatures and the physical presence of the President during bill signings. A theory is proposed that multiple versions of Obama exist, including a "programmed" model used for the 2011 European tour that mistakenly referenced 2008 campaign slogans.

00:00 I'm gonna give Pfizer the benefit of the doubt on this story. Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak. It's Sunday, May 29, 2011 time for your Gitmo Nation media assassination episode 308. This is no agenda. Awaiting my vaccination against hypersexual disorder here at the Hilltop Watchtower, Crackpot Command Center, located in Gitmo Nation West, the People's Republic of Southern California. In the morning, I'm Adam Curry. And just getting up. I'm John C. DeVore. It's good to see you all in there, charged up and ready to go. Exactly the way not only does your government want you to be, but you have to be because we've got to take advantage of your $9.1 million net worth over your lifetime. So it looks as if they're still rioting in Egypt.

01:16 Yeah, because I think they figured it out. They figured it out. Hey, wait a minute! We got screwed on this deal! This is a scam! This is not a... Wait a minute, what happened to Yes We Can? Yeah. You know, John, I am by now, this is 308 episodes, we've done 307 episodes of this program. I am weather-worn, I have a good protective coating against You know, the means and ways of the elites of Gitmo Nation. Call them the New World Order, whatever you want, doesn't matter. But I really get irked when they throw it in my face. Yeah, this seems to bother you more than the actual mechanism itself. Exactly. So when the extension of the Patriot Act was signed by a robot,

02:08 That's just throwing it in my face, okay? That's just... that's unnecessary. It's unnecessary. It's not okay. It's just like, heh heh heh, watch this. Let's really freak him out. I just can't believe it. Let me ask you a question about, for those of you who don't know, It was actually, do you want to hear the little CNN clip where they discuss this? Yeah, you might as well give them a little background. I just want to, for our viewers, read this part of the Constitution. Article 1, Section 7 of the U.S. Constitution says, Every bill which shall have passed the House of Representatives and the Senate shall, before it becomes a law, be presented to the President of the United States. If he approve, he shall sign it, but if not, he shall return it. So,

02:55 Doesn't say specifically he's got to be there and now we're we've got some video of these auto pens which mimic a person's signature. Well obviously the framers could not have foreseen an auto pen but actually the issue of people being able to sign for you goes back before the creation of our republic. In fact one of the earliest cases is the Lord Lovelace case. It's less racy than it sounds. In 1632, starting with those cases the courts have allowed other people to sign for clients or other attorneys and that is done routinely. I have colleagues that have signed briefs for me if I'm out of town. With a president, it's obviously more problematic. The assumption of the framers is that the president would physically sign, and in fact, that's the best practice. This is, in fact, a worrisome trend. You know, there's a sort of Max Hedrum effect of the presidency, of having presidents that speak off teleprompters and now sign bills virtually.

03:55 That's exactly what I wanted to hear. Thank you. That's right. Our president is Max Headroom. It's all over. Go home, people. He looks a little like Max Headroom. And so when this happened, so many things clicked into place. Remember on the last show last week we were talking about, um, you okay? Things clicking into place. What are you talking about? You said things clicked into place. Oh, I have no idea what you were talking about. Oh, go away, please. I have no time for people. There we go. Somebody's calling in the middle of the show? I know! It's my friend from England, Michelle Harper. He doesn't even know if the internet is actually something that exists. He's like, I heard about this internet thing. Anyway. Okay, something clicked into place. Yeah, something clicked into place. So of course on the last show we talked about our president signing the Westminster Abbey guestbook, Barack Obama, May 24th, 2008. And now, with this auto pen thing,

04:53 It's come- it's- to me, it's- and this is almost second half of the show stuff, were it not actually happening, I'm not making this up. So, the president, whichever Barack Obama it is, you know, this could be the nomination model. Now, you and I both have an assertion that there possibly are two Barack Obamas. Remember, we had to have two inaugurations because of the so-called flub. There do seem to be, you know, there's a gray-haired Obama and the fresh, perky Obama, who I think is now in Europe. But this one is programmed only to do one thing and that's to get elected. And so they reactivated the program when they sent him on the road for his European world tour except they didn't tweak it properly and they forgot to like, you know, they have a date problem. And the guy's a total robot. Yes we can! 2008! Hello Ireland! Hello everybody! It's the same bot they pulled out for the first election. Everything he's doing is about getting elected.

05:56 And they just didn't change the programming to reflect 2011. Okay. I mean, is this... it's not unthinkable. And then, and then, you know... It is! It's not unthinkable. And then... Of course not. No, and... They could actually have an actual robot that looks like... Well, they have... Yeah, well, they have an actual... Sure! They have an actual robot to sign his name. Who cares? You know, the guy could be, like, in a coma. Oh, he blinked. It's okay. Activate the pen. I thought it was a pen that he has a virtual pen someplace else and as he writes the robot pen copies his signature. Well, you know, the reporting is so stellar in Gitmo Nation that of course no one has even looked into what it does or how it works. I think it's programmed. I think it's the modern day version of the stamp that the doctor used to have. You know, here's where I think the confusion comes from.

06:55 If you write to the president or send a note to the White House, and I'd advise everyone to just do this routinely, you'll get a letter back that has actually got a signature on it. You usually say something like, thank you for your note, we're going to look into it. And then of course your letter goes in the garbage. And then they have these, apparently, these banks and banks of these cans hooked to this robot and these letters are being signed by the hundreds at a time. And then somebody puts them in an envelope and there's a robot that licks the envelope and off it goes. No, I think the guy who licks his shoe at the football stadium, I think that's the guy they hired to lick the envelopes. So whatever the case, that's I think what's confusing. I don't know why these reporters can't get the story straight. Because they don't care. It's like, whoa, we have something to talk about.

CHAPTER 02 / 28 Discussion

Patriot Act Section 215, FBI Tangible Things, and FISA

Section 215 of the Patriot Act allows the FBI to seize any "tangible things" during authorized investigations, including books, records, and personal items. The legislation includes a strict non-disclosure provision, effectively a gag order, preventing individuals from revealing they have been served with such an order. This institutionalizes secrecy within the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) framework, making it difficult for citizens to challenge surveillance.

patriot act· section 215· fbi· fisa· gag order· surveillance· tangible things

07:50 Idiots, of course not. Stupid woman on CNN. I mean there's two more minutes to that clip I'm not going to play. But of course this all distracts from the real issue at hand is the extension of the Patriot Act. Do you think everyone actually knows what section 215 is and what it means and why this is just one of the many things that are completely wrong with this legislation? I have a feeling that people don't actually understand. Why don't you explain it to them? Well, thank you for asking. So, section 215, and I of course in the show notes at 308.nashownotes.com, you will find a number of links. One is the actual legislation itself, and by the way this was all slipped into that better business bill, which is just the whole way everything works is screwy. It's like, what?

08:45 But essentially, section 215 allows the FBI to order any person or entity to turn over any quote, tangible things. So that can be books, records, letters, emails, used condom wrappers, anything tangible. It could be this whistle. They're coming for you, my brother. As long as the FBI specifies that the order is for a quote, authorized investigation to protect against international terrorism or clandestine intelligence activities. Squirrel! But the thing that's really nasty about section 215, let me actually pull it up because I want to read this line verbatim.

09:32 is the first rule about section 215 is you can't talk about section 215. In fact, I cite also known as Fight Club. Yes. No person shall disclose to any other person other than those persons necessary to produce the tangible things under this section that the Federal Bureau of Investigation has sought out or obtained tangible things under this section. So if you find out that, for instance, if you John found out that the FBI was tapping my phone, which I don't need a warrant for now with the extension of the Patriot Act, they're placing GPS devices under my car, sniffing condom wrappers, doing all kinds of stuff like that. If you know about it, you can't even tell anyone about it or you will be in violation. You might be a terrorist.

10:24 Yeah, do you remember, I think it was a show we did about almost two years ago where we had this guy who had, I guess he was testifying before Congress. I gotta go dig this clip up. And he says that he, you know, they came around, the FBI came around and made him sign a non-disclosure. Yeah, I do remember that. Remember? Right, you can't talk about this now. Yeah, we're gonna do this, this and that, and now you have to sign this, or, and if you don't sign it, you're in violation of this, so you have to sign it so it's not, you know, so this is actually institutionalizing that, right? Yes, in other words it already I think building into the system. Yeah, it's already there Yeah, building it into the system so and so all they have to do now is they come by and say here's we're visiting you for whatever reason we don't you don't even have to know but now but I'm gonna point out this law to you buddy. Yeah, you can't even showed up Somebody if your wife says hey, what were you doing last night at 9 o'clock? You can't tell her that you're with the FBI. No, you can't

11:20 I know and everybody and the whole country I know and the fact that the media doesn't play this up is what are you talking about? They can't even read. That's why they're not playing it up. They know about this. Yeah well it's it's in the milieu not to report reportage on it. And you think that this is one of the things, yeah, that this would be a big deal. It's only the alternative media. And at that, it's also, even alternative media is so disappointing where people have extractions and yell and rant and rave. But this is a one pager. This section 215, which is access to records and other items under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which is FISA. You've heard of that probably.

12:04 It's one page, it's English, it's not even like crazy lawyer English. There's no real references to any other... Well, there is one reference to an executive order 12333, but that's... You know, but you can read this. People themselves, but you know what? Screw it, Indianapolis 500 rolls today. Who cares? Any person who in good faith produces tangible things under an order pursuant to this section shall not be liable to any other person for such production. Such production shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any privilege in any other proceeding or context. In other words, if you see something, say something, and you're good to go. No problem. Right on everybody else. Good to go. No problem. That's the part that we talked about. We talked about this a few weeks ago, which is their attempt to get it so

12:57 you uh... whatever you did so in other words if I have a grudge against my neighbor and I can kind of couch it in good faith that you know that I'm going to start calling in saying you know I think they're having these Saturday night they're doing some sort of prayer Muslim thing yeah and I hear click and they're keeping big and they're all And they're growing beards And they're wearing towels man is no wearing towels on their heads or something and You should check it out, and I if I keep doing this which and I the only reason I'm doing is because I hate these people I hate this neighbor who's actually just a

13:35 a bum with a barking dog. Yeah. I don't like the dog either, but I keep turning him in over and over again. I think I can't sue me. I can't. He can't stop me from doing it. That's right. I mean, supposedly, there's good faith involved, but how can you prove that one way or the other? I swear to you, I thought I saw that. Okay, well, you're off the hook. I know the public is, it's amazing that the public is uh... It's not amazing. It is amazing to me. Okay but it's all because of one thing. Best part of waking up is living young and young.

Lithium in Water, Section 215 Website Launch

A brief discussion touches on the concept of adding lithium to the water supply, paralleling historical fluoride debates. A new resource, section215.org, is announced to track news and legal links related to the Patriot Act's controversial provisions.

lithium· fluoride· section215.org· water supply· website launch

14:13 We've got lithium in our cup now. You know, I listened to that and I couldn't understand a word of it. Nah, it sounds better when not coming through Skype. But it's the best part of waking up is lithium in my cup. Because of course we had the fluoride jingle. And now we have the lithium version. So we need a mashup of both. Let's play both at the same time, simultaneously. Hit it! Okay, great experiment. Let's not repeat it. No. Alright.

14:56 So, and more, I think at least... Can I just say one thing as we finish this up? I have set up a website, section215.org. Oh, nice. Yeah, and I'm just tracking links about that. Right now, it's such a hotbed issue in the United States of Gitmo Nation that I have, oh, like five links. Yeah, five big links, of which one is the Patriot Act itself, and then the Autopen link, and And actually I snuck... You got nothing. Well because no one's reporting on it. You know, it's like, man, whatever. It's the Memorial Day weekend. Eh, auto pen schmotto pen. No, it is pathetic. And the fact you didn't even get that domain name. I know. I know. It's like, nope. Well, I got to talk about domain names when we get to our PR segment. But you wanted to shift gears here for a second. No. Then why don't we just thank the... Was it one person?

Show Support, Nicola Kress Sainted, and Knighting Rings

Nicola Kress is recognized for her significant financial support of the show while working two night jobs as a nurse for spinal cord injuries. In a unique move, she is declared "Saint Nicola" in addition to receiving a damehood. The logistics of the No Agenda Knight of the Round Table rings are discussed, noting they are manufactured in China due to a lack of domestic options.

nicola kress· donations· knighthood· saint· china· rings· support

15:55 Who helped out? No, we do have three people who helped out the show. Yeah. Now let me just say one thing. It's kind of demoralizing when Eric, I guess by accident, something, it was like the show support details for episode 208 came through first and I was like, what? What? This can't be right. This is like nothing. No, everyone hates us. And I was like, it was a mistake. And then the donation support for 308 comes in and it's actually exactly the same number almost. Yeah, I don't find it that funny. I find it quite demoralizing. It has to do with the section 215 or whatever it is. What number was that again? Yeah, section215.org is where you can find all the info. So now maybe we should consider going back to one show a week. That might be better.

16:53 Yeah, it might. So let's do thank the people that did this. Yes, because we highly appreciate it. We highly appreciate it. Nicola Cress, who I think we refer to as a guy when she's a woman. Yes. She's irked about it. She says, hi guys, this should settle my knighthood if Adam contributes to missing penny. Oh, hold on, I got that. Oh, she did 333333. Wow, that sounds like more like a quarter. Except it's a damehood, you douchebags. Wait a minute, did we knight her? Not yet, but we do today. Right, we do it today. Okay, good. Alright. You douchebags got it all wrong on the call out of my last donation. I'm a chick!

17:33 Rolls eyes. Parallel to that, I'm gonna subscribe to the Mothership boarding pass. I'm planning to stay here because I'm too curious to see what'll happen next, but it's good to have a plan B. I'm getting seriously addicted to your show and often stay up on Sunday nights to listen to it. Live, which means I won't get much sleep until 3am on Monday mornings, but sleep is overrated. Good thing I work as a night nurse in two different part-time jobs to make ends meet. Speaking of, I'd like a double shot. Before we do that, I just want you to step back and realize what you just read. She works two different part-time night jobs to make ends meet and has supported the show up to $1,000 which of course I threw in that's actually a euro penny. That's why it sounds so heavy It's much heavier than our pennies. It's worth at least five bucks. Yeah, and and she still finds

18:20 finds it in her budget to support the show and that you know what that really warms my heart and I really appreciate she needed a shot of karma was that a double shot of karma for her patients okay here's one for her and the patients then okay you've got karma wow I'm not quite sure how to do a double shot other than just to play it again but we can do that you've got karma thank you so much Nicola and we look forward to Damon Yo She works with the spinal cord injury folks. So not only is she supporting the show with an incredible amount of resources, she's also like a saint.

19:04 Saint Nikki. Yeah, there you go. Should we saint her? Can we saint her? Yeah, we can saint her. We could if we wanted. We can do anything we want. That's the great thing. Why don't we call her a saint? You know what? I'm in a saint-given kind of mood. We're gonna call her Saint. A saint can be a woman, can't it? Yeah, of course. Well, name me one female saint. Joan of Arc. She wasn't a saint. Mother Teresa. She's not a saint. I think Joan of Arc is a saint. There's a bunch of female Saints. There's a ton of them. Okay good. Well, then there's a new one st. Nicola Chris nice Well as a saint Sean Connolly sir Sean one of our already knighted supporters in Naperville, Illinois 314 15 give up the keep up the great work and don't forget to follow the money. Yeah, I

19:57 Yeah, we need to do that more. We don't actually follow the money enough. And then out of Amsterdam, our associate executive producer is Airstock. one of our new donors. Brand new, a new donor, a new listener, a new supporter of the show. A new supporter, yes. Fantastic. In fact, I think we have a new program that was dreamed up, I guess, by Eric, which will be just to quickly mention new donors who are in, which would include this week, Airstock, Paul Kirby, Tori Hunter, Dennis Lee, Dave Bozeman and Ione Emmerich. Okay, so I don't have to do that in the donation segment. We're going to do that at the top? I think it's a good idea by the way. If you're a new donor then you get a top mention, is that it? Yeah. I like the idea. It's good. So no one for the 308 club. You may want to consider the 333 club coming up.

20:53 in a bit and of course soon everyone will be wanting to get their knighthoods probably most of you on longer term because it is quite a quite an amount of support. It's a process. It's a process but it's going to be great because you get the fantastic no agenda knight of the round table ring in a beautiful faux velour box with some kind of scribe. And it's looking good so far, just they're on their way, right? China has shipped them. How sad is it that we talk about how horrible it is that China's ruining everything and then we go and buy the rings from China? Nobody else makes them.

Domain Name Wiki, Podcast License, and Arab Spring

Producer Simon Reed has compiled a comprehensive list of over 300 domain names forwarded to the show, now hosted at domains.nashownotes.com. New acquisitions include podcastlicense.com and broadcastlicense.com, reflecting themes of potential internet regulation. The domain arabspring.org is also highlighted among the community-contributed assets.

domains· wiki· podcastlicense.com· broadcastlicense.com· arabspring.org· simon reed

21:33 That's where you go to support the show and I want to personally thank Simon Reed who showed up all of a sudden out of the blue after John did you set up the wiki for the domain forwards as you said you would? I've got it set up but I haven't been I haven't finalized the template. Okay good we'll forget about it we don't need it. Simon Reed showed up and has done all the work you can go to domains.nashownotes.com Right now it's just one list, but he's gonna subdivide that and he's a new new producer who just showed up on the scene He says you know what I went through all the episodes. I think I've got them all how many domain names you think in total John have 110 303 Wow yeah, and when you go back and look at this list we got some funny people out there, man He got some real funny people

22:25 Well, this is great. Now I know what the mechanism is that I have to employ, which is threaten to put up a website. No, no, a wiki. I think it was the wiki word that did it. A wiki. Threaten to put up a wiki about something and the next thing you know it's taken care of because nobody wants me to put up a wiki. No, I don't want you to put up a wiki. I actually was the one. You're a wiki bigot. I am a huge wiki bigot. Now we've got a couple of other great domains to be added to the list. Check this out. Podcastlicense.com. How can that be available? Very, very cool. How could someone not have thought of that before? And to add to that, BroadcastLicense.com. How can that be available? You get in, you know, you get your brain in that gear and the next thing you know you start seeing stuff. Well, our producers are fantastic. We also have ArabSpring.org. Thank you very much. Liking that one very, very much. And then just a quick little shout out to

High School Meme Propagation, CSS Design Challenge

Two 15-year-old students, Patrick McGann and Nick Lorin, submitted a high school assignment on Greek myths that integrated various show memes and references to MK Ultra. This prompts a call for other students to propagate show formulas in their schoolwork. Additionally, a CSS design challenge is issued to listeners to improve the visual layout of the show's various web properties.

23:23 Patrick McGann. In the morning, Adam and John, when my English teacher gave us an assignment to write an ancient... this is all about the PR, of course... an ancient Greek myth explaining a natural phenomenon and read it in front of the class, my friend Nick and I decided to write about how earthquakes happen and fill it in with memes. We're both 15-year-old freshmen. You should call out all your high school slaves to put memes in wherever they can in their schoolwork to hit people in the mouth and propagate the formula. It's a great idea. Attach the paper as an attachment if you want to skim through it. We got a 76% on it, but that's only because my teacher is a doughbag. Maybe that's a spell check mistake or autocorrect. I think that's why he got the 76. I disagree with his politics. I'm sorry I haven't donated, but my dad refuses to do anything that involves PayPal because he thinks it's evil. Well, your dad's probably on the right track.

24:13 By the way, you could go to the Dvorak.org slash NA donation site and send a check. So I just want to read just a little piece of this wonderful, and it'll be in the show notes, by Patrick McGann and Nick Lorin. It's called Methodius and the Harp. Mothodius of Kos, or as everyone called him, MK, was a mortal who loved to explore and his curiosity was always getting him in trouble. His brother, Ultra, was... would always follow him no matter the risk and they formed a tight bond. MK and Ultra had a slave who they just referred to as 33 because the family was very rich and had bought 33 slaves to be exact. And it just goes on from there.

25:04 I hope anthropologists one day find this. That's great. In the show notes, in OPML. I like the idea of slipping memes into all your papers though. I think they slipped like the actual assignment into the memes. I think I'm going to maybe, you know what we need to do is do a collection of the memes so I believe I'm going to put up a... No, no, don't put up a wiki on the whole with a lot of things on it no i think we need someone to collect the means ok i'm sure it's not this is great i'm looking forward to this also i mean there's a lot of people who could be of this the system that i've been building uh... which is all based on any as show notes dot com enables people to maintain this stuff outside of our control although it also comes in the same place i mean all and i have to run uh...

25:53 Ask our designers out there if you can do CSS design, please take a look at all of the na show notes. I There's a blog post about this. I said it's the no agenda show notes design challenge We can actually have a CSS design that can be applied to each individual show notes page But we also need a design for the domains dot na show notes calm So if you can do CSS which you know, I like I bought the book CSS for dummies. Guess what? I You're a dummy. I'm a dummy, exactly. I'm not a designer, so we need some help there. Not to change the subject. So I just got this message from Skype. Pops up. It says Skype Extras Manager. A new version of Play Games for Skype is available. Do you know that in Skype you can play games with your friends and family? And then there's three boxes I can check. One.

Hot Pockets Across America Tour, RV Logistics

Plans for the "Hot Pockets Across America" tour involve renting an RV from Cruise America to scout locations for a potential photo book by Mickey. A listener in Lexington, Kentucky, offered a tour of a Hot Pockets manufacturing plant, leading to a discussion about seeking sponsorship from the brand despite the show's satirical take on the product's nutritional value.

Besides the beautiful surroundings, there is a possibility that I can arrange a tour of the plant

28:41 where hot pockets are made. How do we get hot pockets to pick up the thing and put a hot pockets logo on the side of the van and you can go on your way? Playing the hot pockets jingle. I'd be happy to do that. We're already giving them enough free publicity. Yeah, they should pay for it. Yeah, well that's the problem. They're like, why should we do that? Because they've given us the free publicity anyway. Can we get one of those? By the way, Lexington, Kentucky is a great, great little place. So, we look forward to that. So, thank you all. Stop by Cassius Clay's place, the original Cassius Clay from the 1800s. With the cannon? His brother was Henry Clay. Is that the guy with the cannon? Yeah, he's the guy with the cannon. Is the cannon still there? You know, I don't remember if the cannon... I don't think the cannon is there anymore, but you get to see the place and you get to see his... I think it was his...

29:30 You'll see he has a sister who is so, never mind I don't want to get into it, but let's put it this way. She led an alternative lifestyle during the era. One of those, eh? It's very quite, it's actually a very interesting place historically. Anyway, so we don't have wheels yet. We're going to, actually Monday is closed. On Tuesday morning we're going to go to, we're just going to go to cruisamerica.com because we have no other opportunity And I don't know how we're gonna exactly... Pockets. ...pay for it. But we're gonna rent one for next... So after the next show on Thursday, right after that... You're gonna rent one to see if you could even drive one. Just to see how it all works. So we're gonna, after Thursday's show, we hop in the RV, which we're gonna pre-produce. We have to find out which one we fit in, because the beds aren't exactly made for giants. There's one that has a double bed that has like a corner missing.

30:23 And I'm like, Nikki it's too bad you're sleeping on that side with your legs hanging out. So anyway, and then we're gonna take off for a couple days and we'll actually be doing the show next Sunday from the vehicle And and we have we have no plan. We're just gonna go drive I'm gonna see how it all works out just to get a little taste for it But we still need Palm Springs and yeah, that's a possibility But really if the Hot Pockets people are listening and wouldn't we be perfect? All we want is the vehicle and as we as we go it's like every five minutes ago No problem Not a problem put a big logo on the side of course well now it's gonna be cruise America you think those douchebags would hook us up now it's gonna be like $15,000 which I don't really have I think it's well worth it for somebody to sponsors and not not that we're a commercial enterprise here on this show but in it and by the way

31:25 People know how we feel about Hot Pockets. Yeah, I think people will get the joke. It's a free, you know, but Hot Pockets could be on the side of the thing and they would pay for the... Let's be honest, I don't think anyone thinks Hot Pockets are nutritional. And I think that's part of it. I don't think the people at Hot Pockets think it's nutritional. No, of course not, but that's their whole marketing thing. You know, here, have a shit sandwich and you know it. It's like, that's okay. Delicious. I think that we're actually going to be great advertising for it. Like hey, we hand them out. Hey kid want to die? Hey Brought to you by Hot Pockets. Just blowing it right? No, no, no. That's the way it works here. I think they understand that thing. They're like yeah, that's good. If kids want, yeah, they're like yeah, I want to die. Give me that thing. Until a new girl comes in.

32:10 I don't understand why they're saying that. Yeah, they're not with the program. They really, really, really don't. Anyway. Thank you so much, Nicola Kress and Sir Sean Conley and also Airstock as our executive producers and associate executive producers for the program. One more time, the place to support the program.

I'd forgotten about so many of these great domain names that people are forwarding to us. HotPocketsAcrossAmericaTour.com. There it is!

33:19 Not a problem somebody if you're in Lexington, Kentucky Go up. I mean all we want is the RV will even pay for the gas. I think by the way if you just Throw the hot pockets in the tank. It'll run to yeah, I think it'll work. Yeah, there's a lot of gas in those things So before we go anywhere John Wiener gate is upon us have you heard of Wiener gate? No. Oh my goodness. Of course not because Anthony Weiner is one of the chosen ones. He's Chuck Schumer's boy. Yeah, he's Chuck Schumer's replacement. Yeah, that's why no one in the mainstream media is reporting on Weiner. Well, I don't know anything about it. I do have a Weiner clip from last week.

CHAPTER 08 / 28 Discussion

Anthony Weiner, Medicare Debate, and Parliamentary Inquiry

Representative Anthony Weiner was recorded in a heated parliamentary inquiry on the House floor, protesting the Republican leadership's attempt to shut down debate on Medicare. Weiner accused the chair of arbitrarily cutting off members who wished to speak or offer amendments.

anthony weiner· medicare· house of representatives· republican leadership· debate

34:01 Where they shut him down and you know because he tried to yak away you want to play that as a prelude to this? That's a great idea. Which one is it? It was the one from last week's. Oh, oh last week's show? Hold on I can find that. Our last show for us whenever. So here's how I do that. I go to 307.na show Notes calm and a lot of work goes into this stuff. You know, we're not just like jerking around here We're really putting your your support of the show to good work. Then we go to Assets right there on the page. Yeah all the assets Then we go to JCD clips now I will say that sometimes if No, there it is Anthony Weiner and let's listen to the clip. Is it loading?

34:50 for that purpose and now it sounds like you're proceeding to shut down debate. I say that it is in violation of the order of the House as decided by the Rules Committee to permit members to speak for five minutes on this matter. It's early in the evening, many members are waiting to be speak. Pursuant to Clause 6 of Rule 18, the Chair may resume proceedings on a postponed question at any time. Madam Chair, point of parliamentary inquiry. So the chair is deciding, notwithstanding the fact that a member is standing here to speak about the plan to end Medicare, not to mention members are here seeking to be recognized, I believe of both parties. The chair is choosing at this moment that this is the propitious moment to cut off debate

35:28 early in the evening when we have plenty of work to do and members seek to speak and offer amendments is is this the the deserts i arbitrarily or she given guidance to do this by the republican leadership we don't want to hear any more critique of their plans to end medicare the chair is exercising her prerogative to resume proceedings at any time i'll take that as a yes madam chair and i must say on behalf of all of us here this is a travel on the way we do business the gentleman is not recognized so okay so he's got a big mouth He's a douchebag. Yeah, let's give him a little one there. By the way, they're all douchebags. But so he sets up his Twitters. Anthony Weiner sets up his Twitters and so it's his Twitters is a Rep Weiner at Rep Weiner because he's a representative. Now of course when you're new to the Twitters and you're a douchebag

CHAPTER 09 / 28 Discussion

Weinergate, Twitter Hacking Claims, and Andrew Breitbart

Representative Anthony Weiner is embroiled in "Wienergate" after a lewd photo was sent from his Twitter account to a 25-year-old woman in Seattle. Weiner claims his account was hacked, while some media outlets suggest the incident may involve Andrew Breitbart. The lack of mainstream media coverage is criticized, with suggestions that Weiner's status as a high-ranking Democrat protects him from scrutiny.

anthony weiner· twitter· hacking· andrew breitbart· cordova· scandal

36:21 Sometimes it can happen that you think you're sending a direct, i.e. private message to someone. Oh what an idiot. But you inadvertently send it out to your stream. So on the Anthony Weiner, Rep Weiner stream, a tweet to a 25 year old woman, Miss Cordova, And a picture of his erect penis in his grey undershorts. No! And of course... No man, it was hacked. No man, my Twitter was hacked. Yeah, well I think the FBI should investigate. Twitter can find out exactly what IAP address accessed that, they can trace it back, and they should arrest the perpetrator who put up a picture of an unerect penis in underpants and sent it to this 25 year old woman, Mr. Married Representative.

37:18 But no one's reporting on it. How come I never heard it? This is so... How did I miss this? It's not being reported on because he's a chosen one. You're not allowed to report on mess-ups of the true elites. It's unbelievable. So but for him to just say, oh well I got hacked, hashtag hacked. Okay well then I think the FBI should be put on the case I mean Twitter has been... Yeah, no actually there's I think there's probably some laws because of these our congressmen have certain kinds of protections that the normal public doesn't have so all they have to do is just snap their finger and the next thing you know the FBI is looking into it and then they go bust somebody. Yeah but it's because he actually did it he said let me ask you a question Mickey asked me this last night I told her this story. What a douche.

38:07 Douche so Mickey asked me this question, and I didn't really have an answer. He says why do men do that? Do they think we think it's sexy and I'm like oh That's a really good question. I mean, I haven't done that, but it seems like guys do this, and particularly politicians seem to want to do this. They'd like to do it in Congress on the floor. Hey, Madam President! Check this out! Hey, Beyoncé, look at this, look at this! Woo! Everybody, yeah! Hot pockets! See? We're trying to get that promotion. Another plug. So just to look and see if this shows up somewhere.

38:49 Of course it showed up at noagendanewsnetwork.com where it belongs, the true news part of... The Gothamist, it's on the Gothamist. It's only on, it's actually only on... Maybe on just a few. If you Google it, it's only like four or five, well it's about 12 stories or so. Yeah. It's being covered up, it's being shut up. It's being covered up, yeah totally. Yeah. Of course! And to be honest about it, it should be covered up. I'm sorry, it should have been covered up. Hello? Did you see the picture though? I think he's wearing Hema's. It's a grey... let me describe it to you. I got the picture here. It's on... it might still be on yfrog.com. yfrog.com slash H25 Mike 3 Lima uniform Juliet. And there's... yeah, it looks like Hema's. It's not mine, I tell you that. My legs are thick. It's his leg, you can tell. It's his leg. He's not packing all that much either. Okay, but...

39:52 Here it is wife right. This is just a this is stupid. Just a pair of his underwear with a with a boner Yeah Uh-huh, that's what was that's what Mickey's point was why do guys do that is that like some kind of message? Well, I don't know what it is. Well, apparently so they actually has one Maybe that was in doubt. Yeah, just so you just cuz what you saw happening in the house doesn't mean I don't have a boner Okay, I can do it Wow. Anyway, Wienergate everybody. Oh! Wienergate.com. There's another one. Someone has to go ahead and register that. Perfect. I can set up another domain name. Wienergate. Here it is. Daily cost says the whole incident was set up by Andrew Breitbart. What?!

40:38 who runs big government site has been taunting Wieners on Twitter saying that he has much more scandalous material to reveal but could anything be more damning than a certain infamous HS photo, this high school photo that he uses. Hold on a second. If Anthony Wiener says his Twitter was hacked and it was douchebag Breitbart Then there should be an investigation. I think so. You can't just hack away at stuff. No, it's against the law as a matter of fact. Yeah. And by the way, just in time for the G8 meeting with all of the

Lockheed Martin Cyber Attack, China Cyber Warfare Unit

Hackers breached the security networks of Lockheed Martin and several other U.S. defense contractors, according to reports from Reuters. This coincides with China's official acknowledgment of an elite cyber warfare unit. The Pentagon reports millions of cyber attacks daily, fueling a narrative for increased internet security and potential licensing.

lockheed martin· china· cyber attack· pentagon· reuters· security

41:15 The other dicks. Yeah, the other dicks in the Silicon Valley elites just in time where they're all talking about, oh we need cyber security, cyber security, something bad can really happen. A Fox Business alert, unknown hackers have breached the security network at Lockheed Martin and several other US defense contractors. Several contractors. That are being reported by Reuters. It's not yet clear what kind of information was compromised. The Defense Department reports as many as 3 million. 3 million! That's right, 3 million cyber attacks. 3 million! Each and every day again. Every hour I tell you, it's 3 million a second! This is the Pentagon.

41:54 U.S. officials have said military computer networks are under increasing attack from hackers who appear to have ties to China, directly or indirectly. The most successful cyber attack to date on the Pentagon executed by China's People's Liberation Army four years ago. Just today, China acknowledged the existence of an elite cyber warfare unit. Cyber warfare you what is an elite cyber warfare? What is that? What kind of image is that supposed to conjure up an elite cyber war? It's like a bunch of guys with like that's your guys in their basement Taking pictures of their boners is defensive in nature Are you here to look at my boner? Thank you. No, thank you darling. I haven't posted on Twitter. Yeah posted on Twitter John says Alert alert alert. Yeah. Now, you know, that's a plant. Oh

42:49 You know, that's like, hey, we need to like really get that. No one's buying our cyber security BS. So let's amp it up people. OK, we're on it. Fox Business News alert alert alert alert warning alert. Be very afraid. Uh, squirrel. It's all headed toward licensing the Internet podcast license dot com. It's the only place you need to go. We should actually set up shop there and hand out fake licenses. That's right. Okay. Oh, this is fantastic. Great. And how much do we charge? 150 bucks for a podcast license? I think 100 bucks would be good. From the originators of the podcast. Get your podcast license right there. And Dave Weiner. You and Dave Weiner sign the bottom. I love it.

CHAPTER 11 / 28 Discussion

Libya Rape Allegations, Michelle Faul, and AP Credibility

Reports claiming Muammar Gaddafi's troops are using Viagra to commit mass rapes are scrutinized for potential propaganda similarities to the 1990 incubator baby story. The source of the data, a survey by Dr. Siham Serjawah reported by Michelle Faul of the Associated Press, is questioned due to the high response rate and the difficulty in verifying the identities of the doctor and reporter.

libya· gaddafi· viagra· michelle faul· associated press· propaganda

43:40 hundred bucks and Winder would want a piece of course I'm gonna cut him in are you kidding me he'd love it no he'd love it it before as hilarious yeah and we signed it officially is your podcast license good luck son and we have to do a test we have to do some kind of test that's some great test Well, you have a little union bug, a little logo that you can use on your website if you have a license which ensures safety. And when you click on that bug, it comes right back to podcastlicense.com. Yeah, of course. So others can get a license. That's marketing. There was one other thing that really, really, really bothered me. It's a serious topic when it comes to bogus news reports.

44:26 So they've been trying, Hillary Clinton started this and then the douchebag at the United Nations, he followed on saying, Gaddafi is handing out Viagra to his troops so that the troops can commit serial rape. The story that keeps on giving. So here's what's happened now. a certain Michelle Fall, F-A-U-L, who I cannot find anywhere. Apparently she writes for Associated Press. I mean that name may just be a joke, like Fall, like Faux or whatever, has written about Dr. Siham Serjawah, who has been trained in London and handed out a survey in Benghazi and said, how you feeling?

45:19 And so it was a questionnaire. He or she, I don't know if Dr. Seham is a male or female. Of course now that this is propagated all over the news, you cannot find anything about this doctor other than this report. So the doctor sent out a questionnaire about the trauma of war in Libya and here are the results. 10,000 people said they're suffering from post-traumatic stress. 4,000 children have psychological problems and then came the unexpected. 259 women, not 260, said they had been raped by militia men loyal to Muammar Gaddafi.

46:04 And I you know and rape is a very very serious thing but unless they're asking questions so they know where they came from the Mugh Gaddafi who you with? No, but what's even worse is that this has now been propagated everywhere on the internet. I'm even getting emails saying hey man it's true. But what is true, what has happened here is some reporter who I can't trace anywhere, I can't find a bio, I can't find any information about... What's your name again? Michelle double L Fall, Foxtrot Alpha Uniform Lima. I cannot find any history on this reporter, is reporting that a doctor who of course I also can't find any information about, sent out a questionnaire

46:48 They came back with all these nice rounded numbers except when it comes to the rape and I do want to remind our producers and listeners that this is exactly what happened with the Saddam Hussein's troops who were throwing kids out of incubators and it turned out to be a PR stunt from Hill and Knowlton. Thank you, love. And this is very dangerous. And by the way, for true rape victims, it's disgusting to me that this is being reported in this manner with no follow-up, no inquiry. Who is this woman? Or man, who is this doctor? The questionnaire was distributed to 70,000 families, drew 59,000 responses. Oh, that's bull right there.

47:37 I mean there's the tell. There's the tell, you're right. It can't be more than 1%. No, no, they can be a lot more than 1%. We're not talking about direct mail selling something. But generally speaking it's around 10 or 20% people respond to these things, especially if it's written and if you're in a war zone like that and somebody hands you a survey, what are you going to do with it? I'm going to smoke it. You're going to throw it out. Yeah. So I have a real problem with this and the way it's propagating. Watch, this will be the big news this week because now we have to go and kill the guy Because he's handing out this is this is just part of the Viagra meme. I'm sorry. I'm sure that it wore horrible things happen I'm convinced of it the fact that we're throwing bombs on people's heads I don't care who he is or she is the whole thing is disgusting and deplorable, but then this really so as a surveyor John I

48:36 So let me just read you the only journalist I've come up with who's a Michelle Fall who has a BA in journalism from the University of Missouri-Kansas City's on LinkedIn. F-A-U-L? Yeah, and she according to her experience right now she's the director of marketing at the Murphy Hoffman company. Oh really? Well I mean this couldn't be a different woman coincidentally also with the exact same name and with a BA in journalism. I think not! Uh-huh. But she's the director of market at the Murphy Hoffman company, which is a privately held transportation trucking railroad industry group. Oh my goodness, there you go. I don't get the connection, I don't know, do you? She's the founder of the Steel Ballet Sports Boutique. This may be a different woman with exactly the same name and with journalism experience. I mean, it's a possibility. I'm not, you know, but it seems sketchy. I'd like to know. It's possible. I mean, there's four John Dvoraks that are writers.

49:33 None of them as good as you my friend. No, they're all did they all in different specialties one of them is Jack I can't remember his middle in there's they all different middle initials and one of them writes or used to write a lot for high times and was a big proponent of legalizing marijuana one of the early ones and I have never Cross paths with this guy either by mistake like somebody sent me his email hmm or anything else We're completely in different milieus like totally there's another one who is a not that interested There's somebody out there that might be No, I'm just saying that there's a source you look me up and found one of these guys you say well here He is he's a metallurgist

50:14 You know the guys get some connection, so you don't I don't know I think this is a coincidence just that if you have that name right gonna be but if you're a journalist and I've seen her stories and One time she's one minute. She's writing about the Congo then she's writing about About Libya, I don't know. I know I just this story is very suspicious to me I don't want to make any light of any rape because of course that's horrible and But it's extremely fishy and when people say, hey man, it's true. I'm like what? Because Associated Press and some journalists we can't find with some incredible return on a questionnaire that was sent out by a doctor who we also can't find? I'm just not that easy to convince. Apparently. I'm on your side on this one. Thank you. Seems bogus. Yeah.

CHAPTER 12 / 28 Discussion

Gary Johnson, Drug Decriminalization, and Sean Hannity

Former New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson appeared on Sean Hannity's program to advocate for the legalization of marijuana and a harm-reduction approach to harder drugs. Johnson cited the success of decriminalization in Portugal and heroin maintenance programs in Zurich, Switzerland. Hannity's aggressive interviewing style and fiscal arguments against drug-related healthcare are criticized.

gary johnson· sean hannity· marijuana· decriminalization· portugal· zurich

51:09 Trains good, rape bad. Yeah, we do need that jingle now. I've got to tell you, now that the only thing the mainstream media can distract us with is, who's going to be the Republican candidate? That's boring. Well, yeah it is. But I found a guy that I'm potentially interested in. Yeah? Yeah, so of course you know I love Ron Paul and I supported him in the 2008 elections. I mean it's unavoidable John, we're going into an election cycle, we're gonna have to touch on it from time to time. I saw, and it's not that I watched it but someone sent me the link, Hannity, of course Sean Hannity dot com will take you right to our show. He interviewed Gary Johnson, governor of New Mexico.

52:05 Yeah. I like this guy. Yeah, I know. I like him too. He's a straight shooter. He seems honest and he stands up to the bullies and yeah, I like him. He's okay. But all of his points are also valid. He hasn't got a snowball's chance in hell. No, of course not. But if we have that attitude then... Uh-huh. Anyway, I put in a request to interview him. In the 2008 Olympics we interviewed Ron Paul, or I interviewed Ron Paul, and I'd like to interview Gary Johnson this time around. The only question I have is where are you going to get your money to win? Whose corporate schlong are you going to suck? He's not going to do anything. So how is he going to make money? You can't win without money, right? Isn't that kind of the fact? Yep. He wants to legalize marijuana?

52:58 Yes, it's got a little right judge. Don't even quoted our our Portugal example. What do you say? Oh, I'm glad you asked. You run into, I think, problems with the base, legalizing drugs, a couple of other positions. Legalizing marijuana, legalizing marijuana, talking about harm reduction strategies regarding all the other drugs. So, talking about legalizing marijuana. I came at this issue from a cost-benefit analysis standpoint. Shawn, half, and I'm not telling you anything that you don't recognize, half of what we spend on law enforcement, the courts, and the prisons is drug-related.

53:36 And to what end? Well, 70 billion dollars a year. We're arresting 1.8 million people a year in this country and we now have 2.3 million people behind bars. We have the highest incarceration rate of any country in the world. America! And marijuana is in a different category. Shut up Hannity! People are in a crack-induced state. Hannity is such a douchebag. It pains me to have him in between this clip. Of psychosis. if it's decriminalized or legalized. What do you do with people so needing a fix for heroin that they would kill their own mother? These are predictable results of... Go ahead!

54:14 of hard drug use. What do you do then? Well, first of all, there's an educational process in all this. If you're too stupid not to stick a needle in your arm or a crack pipe in your mouth, you just lost it. I mean, there's no educating somebody that crack is bad for you. Well, then there's no law that's going to stop it either, you douchebag. You idiot. Sean Hannity, I mean, that guy bugs me when it comes to this topic. Crack addicts should go get him. That would be better. It's crack is bad. Sure, sure, Sean. It's insane. but you treat it first as a health issue rather than a criminal justice issue. You don't treat it first as a criminal justice issue. These are the people that we know. These are people that we actually care about. Okay, so we're going to provide free health care for them?

54:57 provide free heroin, crack. Let's differentiate between marijuana though and harder drugs. What I am advocating is the legalization of marijuana and having drank alcohol and having smoked marijuana. I like this too. I drank, I smoked, and I'm on E right now, baby! Neither of which I do today because I think they're both handicaps. But having done both, I can tell you that there's a big difference between the two. And the big difference between the two is that marijuana is a lot safer than alcohol. Hold on, here you go. It's a little... Get little hot pockets from that. Citizens... Well, you don't have to agree. Citizens of Denver, five years ago, voted to decriminalize marijuana in Denver on a campaign based on marijuana being safer than alcohol. Can't these arguments still be made on the crack heroin issue? What are you doing in those cases? Shut up, Kennedy. What are you going to do when you first look at it as a health issue rather than a criminal justice issue? You're a fiscal conservative. You're a libertarian. You don't want to pay for their health care, do you?

56:00 Exactly, Sean. So listen to me from a cost-benefit analysis. Give them the drugs? Listen, from a cost-benefit analysis, Portugal 10 years ago decriminalizes all drug use. In the last 10 years, they have statistically shown a 50% decrease in heroin use. Wait a minute, Great Britain experimented. And by the way, here comes Hannity with a lie. Great Britain did not experiment in the way that Portugal did. With the same decriminalization of heroin. And there were other... We talked about this the other way, Needle Park is another failure. I can't do and make an argument, Needle Park. Wait a minute, wait, wait, wait. Let's talk about Needle Park. I mean, I can talk about all these. I can address all these issues. Shut up, Hannity! Maintenance issues where the government ends up giving these drugs to these addicts. Now listen to this story, it's the last one. Then becomes the pusher

56:51 and we have people that literally are decrepit and and no longer live life as a bunch of junkies. So chief of police from Zurich Switzerland comes to Albuquerque this is about ten years ago and he said I'm chief of police. I think he said I am chief of police Zurich Switzerland He said when they came out with a heroin maintenance program in Zurich, Switzerland free but free heroin free heroin Government-controlled you have to get a prescription but free heroin clean needles The idea was was to reduce death disease crime corruption the things that I think really people care about He said when they came out with this program in Zurich

57:28 This was crazy. I've been in law enforcement my entire life. All my friends were in law enforcement. We could not have been more opposed to this. Death, disease, crime, corruption was going to skyrocket. He said, I am here today to tell you, Zurich is a much better place to live. And citizens of Zurich voted to re-up on that program. So here's another one that you should listen to. We need some talking points on this and maybe a memo. When he says that, Hannity is very specious the way he argues. He'll come up with off the wall with some bull crap just to throw the guy off the track. Luckily the guy was pretty solid. Yeah, I agree. But he says, you know what, so you're a libertarian, you want to pay for their health care? You want to pay for these, you know, by

58:10 call it a medical thing you want to pay for their health care and the guy kind of just kept going on this point. The guy should have thrown back the following, no I don't want to pay for their health care but it's gonna save money because the way you're the way you wanted Hannity is we arrest them throw them in jail pay for their room and board at forty to seventy five thousand dollars a year because they're in jail and then pay for their health care in jail so you're paying for their health care whether you like it or not jerk. Hey maybe we could consult this guy We could, you know, if he would listen to us, he would do a much better job. Oh wow, John, you're all worked up. That Hannity just bugs me with this specious bull crap and then he bullies the guy. You know, the guy is, he should be, you know, he is worse than Ed Schultz. Ed Schultz, by the way, has been kind of taken off the air for calling Laura Ingram a slut. I was giving him points for that.

59:09 I think he actually called her a talk slut, not just a... No, he called her a slut first, then a talk slut. He backed off. He called her a slut twice. You know that there's a meme here. I know you have an Ed Schultz clip. Do you want to play that first or can I play you the slut clip? Because there's a meme going on with sluts. Well, we'll do the sluts after this because I still want to mention that Ed Schultz won some bogus award from some... some convention for having the quote of the year and and on TV I had to you know Republican anti-conservative quote of the year this is the quote of the year that won. The Republicans lie! They want to see you dead! They'd rather make money off your dead corpse!

Ed Schultz, Laura Ingraham, and Quote of the Year

MSNBC host Ed Schultz faced backlash for calling Laura Ingraham a "talk slut," leading to a temporary suspension. Despite the controversy, Schultz reportedly won an award for "Quote of the Year" regarding his aggressive rhetoric against Republicans.

58:10 call it a medical thing you want to pay for their health care and the guy kind of just kept going on this point. The guy should have thrown back the following, no I don't want to pay for their health care but it's gonna save money because the way you're the way you wanted Hannity is we arrest them throw them in jail pay for their room and board at forty to seventy five thousand dollars a year because they're in jail and then pay for their health care in jail so you're paying for their health care whether you like it or not jerk. Hey maybe we could consult this guy We could, you know, if he would listen to us, he would do a much better job. Oh wow, John, you're all worked up. That Hannity just bugs me with this specious bull crap and then he bullies the guy. You know, the guy is, he should be, you know, he is worse than Ed Schultz. Ed Schultz, by the way, has been kind of taken off the air for calling Laura Ingram a slut. I was giving him points for that.

59:09 I think he actually called her a talk slut, not just a... No, he called her a slut first, then a talk slut. He backed off. He called her a slut twice. You know that there's a meme here. I know you have an Ed Schultz clip. Do you want to play that first or can I play you the slut clip? Because there's a meme going on with sluts. Well, we'll do the sluts after this because I still want to mention that Ed Schultz won some bogus award from some... some convention for having the quote of the year and and on TV I had to you know Republican anti-conservative quote of the year this is the quote of the year that won. The Republicans lie! They want to see you dead! They'd rather make money off your dead corpse!

59:47 They kinda like it when that woman has cancer and they don't have anything for her. That's the quote of the year? Is that a J.D. Powers and Associates award or is that the... It's just some bogus thing they were looking for just outrageous things and Shultz likes to yell. And what's unfortunate is that, well you know what, I don't think it's unfortunate anymore. I don't care. Because I see the commercials on Fox. It's nothing but old people and old guys looking at the hot blondes. They're looking at hot blondes, that's all that they do. It's old people. Our generation is not watching that. You don't like looking at hot blondes? No I do, but it's not for me. I don't think most people are watching Fox News.

SlutWalk Movement, Etymology of Slut, and Male Equivalents

The "SlutWalk" movement, which began in Canada after a police officer's controversial comments about women's attire, has spread to Australia. A linguistic exploration of the word "slut" follows, comparing modern definitions of promiscuity with archaic Shakespearean meanings of "slovenly." The lack of a direct male equivalent for the term is noted, with "douchebag" offered as a contemporary alternative.

slutwalk· canada· australia· dictionary· etymology· gender roles

1:00:30 So there is an issue though with the word slut and there's now slut walks going on all over Gitmo Nation. It started in Gitmo Nation Great White North and has now progressed down to Gitmo Nation Down Under. Oops, wrong one. The movement that brought this boy to the fore began across the Pacific in Canada where a policeman said that women should avoid dressing like sluts in order not to be victimized. Soon after, the first slut walk took place on the Toronto streets with women reclaiming the word often times used as a female slur. Less than two months later and it's arrived down under with well-known Australian writers behind the cause. Reclaiming the word slut is going to disempower it. Excellent.

1:01:17 Take your word back, women. So they're all dressed up like, quote, sluts. And they're doing slut walks. Slutwalks.com would be good. Don't want to say too much there. But that's ludicrous. Well, you know, when the cops say, well, you dress like a slut, that's why you got raped. I mean, that's pretty ludicrous, John. That's I didn't say that wasn't ludicrous. Yeah. But so going around promoting, you know, Promoting what? Promoting what? Promoting what? Promote... I'm not sure what they're promoting. But it's just like, you know, okay, we're all sluts I guess. I don't know. Yeah. I'm taking the word back. I'm very for this. I like the word the way it was. I think it's descriptive.

1:01:59 Okay, if I look up the word slut, what is your definition of the word slut, John C. Dvorak? I don't have a definition, I have a feeling. What is your feeling? What does the word slut actually mean? How descriptive is it to you? It would be an attractive, sexually loose woman who dresses to encourage the message that she's sexually loose. Right a slovenly or promiscuous woman Slovenly that's a new word. They're slovenly messy the new words an old word. Yeah, why I don't use it slovenly messy and dirty hmm Slovenly so I guess is their definition stems back to shakes the Shakespearean era. Yeah, well, that's the Apple Macintosh dictionary not sure get a better dictionary. Yeah, I

1:03:01 Anyway, so we went a long way from the Gaddafi rape bogus survey to the sluts. I'm not quite sure how we got there. You led it. I did it all the way. It's my fault. Define slut. Are you are you are you consulting the book of knowledge? No, I'm gonna go to Webster's book of knowledge, which is a backup and look up the word slut uh-huh in Merriam-Webster, of course, which is the most popular of the dictionaries a promiscuous woman especially prostitute press number two the second

1:03:39 It's British version is slovenly woman. The American version is a promiscuous woman, especially a prostitute, or be a sussy girl. I disagree. I don't think a slut is a prostitute. I think it's two separate things. I've never, I don't think I've ever called a woman a slut. I think only women call women sluts. I could be wrong. Well, let's look at the thesaurus and see what the I think we're a boldly flirtatious This is kind of my definition didn't I say that kind of this boldly flirtatious or sexually promiscuous woman? blah blah blah chippy Chippy is an old slang word for a prostitute bimbo uh-huh doxy

1:04:29 Uh... Fancy woman. What's a male slut? A hoochie. I want to be a hoochie mama. A hussy. A Jezebel. A minx. A queen. What is the male definition? Does it say that? Slut tramp. Trollop. Trollop. Wench. I like trollop. Trollop. Wench and whore. You trollop you. Related words. Siren, temptress, vamp, grisette. Harlot, prostitute and troll. You ignorant trollop you. Troll? Really? Well what is a male- T-R-U-L-L. Help me now. What is a male slut? Does it even exist? We don't have male sluts. They're just cool. That would be a punk. They were cool. It's like cool guy. What is it? That would be a punk. No, not a punk. A punk is not a male slut. I think so. No.

1:05:24 Absolutely, he's not promiscuous, not sending the message. In fact, if anything, it's a douchebag. There you go, sluts and douchebags. Everybody welcome to the sluts and douchebags festival! We could do it be a male. I don't think there is a male slut. That's the problem that shows you know I know what it is Anthony wiener Give yourself an in the morning for that that's perfect. Hey, how come I didn't fire oh? We took an hour to get to the punchline ladies and gentlemen, but yeah, I was gonna show you dog moment gosh darn it We got there okay well while we're on this

Hypersexual Disorder, DSM-5, and Population Control

The American Psychiatric Association is considering adding "Hypersexual Disorder" to the DSM-5, citing high-profile cases like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Dominique Strauss-Kahn. The criteria for diagnosis are so broad that they could apply to a vast majority of men. There is speculation that this diagnosis could lead to the development of a "vaccine" for hypersexuality as a tool for population control.

dsm-5· hypersexual disorder· arnold schwarzenegger· dominique strauss-kahn· vaccine

1:06:05 You know what DSM-5 is, right? No, I have no idea. DSM-5, you can go, you'll find it at dsm5.org. This is the American Psychiatric Association. This is where they put together, this is the new book. DSM-5, we're at four now, DSM-5 will be the book of disorders. Oh, that's right, right, right, right, right. They've got it, they've changed it again. Yeah, so they've added a couple of things. And I can tell you right now, here's how I picked up on this, and then of course I went and did the research for y'all. As we follow news of Dominic Strauss-Kahn's rape charges and Arnold Schwarzenegger's love child, it seems to confound us that these powerful men will seemingly risk everything for a sexual encounter.

1:06:49 One can't help but wonder what on earth were they thinking? Well, mental health experts wonder this too and they're considering adding a diagnosis of hypersexual disorder to the next manual of mental health disorders, the DSM-5. Here to tell us more about this is psychologist Dr. Michelle Golland. Okay, so I'm not gonna play her because she's like, it's actually a really hot milfy doctor who then comes on to tell us about this disorder. I'm like, I was confused. So, um, hypersexual disorder, John. Apparently, um, Arnold Schwarzenegger has it. Apparently, Dominique Strauss-Kahn has it. This is a disorder. It is now proposed. How's this different from a rapist? Oh, no, no, no, no. Let me explain and let's see if you and I suffer.

1:07:36 uh... hypersexual disorder and i know we saw but it what how what is the severity because this is what the uh... dsm five uh... does for you or period of at least six months recurrent and intense sexual fantasy sexual urges and sexual behavior in association with four or more of the following five criteria will determine whether you are have hypersexual disorder john are you ready to take the survey uh... one Excessive time is consumed by sexual fantasies and urges and by planning for and engaging in sexual behavior. Where's your bell? I don't. You qualify. I think everybody does. Right. Well actually let's let's

1:08:20 Why don't we, I'll do the... Or at least all the guys in the world that I know that... Well, exactly, thank you. Number two. Repetitively engaging in these sexual fantasies, urges and behavior in response to dysphoric move states, i.e. anxiety, depression, boredom or irritability. In other words... That only counts if you have the opportunity. Well, it can be, here's the list of things that it can be. It can be A, masturbation, B, pornography, C. Sexual behavior with consulting, consenting adults. Wait, just looking at pornography? How can you do that without somebody surfing the internet? This is a sketchy one. This is number two. Bill? Oh. Number three. Repetitively engaging in sexual fantasies, urges, and behavior in response to stressful life events. What does that mean? It's like, honey, I had a shitty day. Oh, come on, baby. Yeah.

1:09:14 Ring the bell, ring the bell, come on. Number four, repetitive but unsuccessful efforts to control or significantly reduce these sexual fantasies, urges and behavior. I tried to stop masturbating, but... So I guess it means you drink a lot. I don't know. That's just bull crap. Number five, and finally, more, repetitively engaging in sexual behavior while disregarding the risk for physical or emotional harm to self or others. Yeah, anyway, so I if you look at the severity this is this is like real doctor stuff And of course what this is I can tell you what it's leading to I had there's a point to this It's not just all about funny sex stuff okay, the scale of the diagnosis for a hypersexual disorder this is what doctors will use to determine and they say like you know you have a slight tendency of hypersexual disorder that would be his slight and

1:10:09 The person has reported infrequent, e.g. less than 15 minutes in the average day, fantasies and urges, but no enacted sexual behaviors. So if you think about sex and have fantasies or urges but don't actually act on them for less than... I know, hit the bell for the whole audience. What's it? Do it, the bell. What the hell? I'm having sexual fantasies right now. Mild is if you report urges between 15 to 30 minutes a day. I mean, come on! We're men! What are you talking about? Alright, you don't have to keep reading. This is terrible. So the point is that there's going to be a vaccine for this. And of course it'll make you not want to screw around. Why are they having the Saltpeter? Yeah, well, you know, I think they still use it. And then the Saltpeter, I'm sure the patent expired.

1:11:07 So it'll probably be a version of it and that'll help population control. Everyone's gonna be diagnosed with hypersexual disorder. And we're gonna keep... you watch this, John. Where's your book? Write it down. Hypersexual disorder. Please. What's today's date? Today is the 29th of May 2008. So are you writing it with your auto pen?

Financial Fear-Mongering, Stansbury Research, and No-Ad Model

The show critiques "The End of America" viral marketing campaign by Stansbury Research, which is heavily advertised on platforms like Alex Jones' show. These advertisements are characterized as fear-mongering designed to sell gold and newsletters. The hosts reiterate their commitment to a value-for-value model to avoid being beholden to such predatory advertisers.

stansbury research· alex jones· advertising· gold· scams· financial advice

1:16:01 But is it the economy? Do we just suck? Do people not care? We did get some new donors, that's nice. We had a good show, our last show was a good show. No, I think it's because of the holiday. People have taken off, they're not around. So they don't think of us? No, they don't. That's the problem. That's why the networks have gone to these short schedules of TV shows. They just say screw it. So wait a minute, so can I just presume that if it's a holiday that and we've always worked traditionally on the holidays should we just not do it? Just screw it? I've been saying that for the last couple years especially after the lie thing was Christmas where like nobody listened and nobody paid any attention and we didn't got no donations it was and it was Christmas!

1:16:42 So I... You know what's bothering me though? There's these... and I keep getting these... so if you are considering emailing me, first of all, if you email me more than once a month with a story, email me with No Agenda News Network in the subject and I'll give you an account because that's where we're putting everything, where we're tracking everything. Noagendanewsnetwork.com. That's where you need to go to get all these stories. You can follow it all. You can know what we're going to talk about, help the research. So stop emailing me stories. If it's more than one a month, send me an email, I'll set you up on the account. And I see, and believe me, I see everything there. But then I get people sending, hey man, you gotta see this video, and it's that stansburyresearch.com. We gotta talk about this. This is what Alex Jones is advertising.

1:17:28 You know, oh that piece of crap. Yeah, and it's like there's a very important rich American citizen Who has made predictions he predicted the economic collapse the crazy thing is this crazy man is right go to see this free video the end of America 5000.com I wanted you to maybe you can do some voiceover for me because I've been wanting to mock this thing in a producer video over at media Where I come out and say yes, and I predicted this and then we have clips of me. I got a wig on Why don't you come down here? We'll do it. Don't give that to me. Do it with me. It's like yeah I'm predicting the fall of Lehman Brothers. This was predicted the day before Video camera with the date flashing in the corner

1:18:17 the day before Lehman collapses. Screw it! We're doing this for the show. This is fantastic. I believe that they're going to collapse. Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak, they're known as the crackpot and the buzzkill. But the funny thing is, they've predicted all the great downturns. They've predicted everything. Buy gold coins from them now. Because that's what it always comes down to. Then there's this new one. The National Inflation Association, the NIA. This is another great one. And you know who runs it? Anthony Weiner! as endorsed by Anthony Weiner, Chairman of the National Inflation Association, Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak. You may think they're crazy, but not after you make millions selling gold and these stocks we recommend. So anyway,

1:19:22 If you see those two advertisers, okay, do not be fooled. And this is what's sad is that's out there and usually I'll just keep sending back a note to say, that guy's like the top advertiser on Alex Jones. Oh, yeah, shoot. Can't believe I fell. Most of our listeners are on our have a clue. But we do have a lot of kind of either new listeners or guys who kind of get jacked up by our approach to the news. And so they become like puppy dogs, but they haven't really absorbed the model or the construction thing. And so they see this stuff and they get all jazzed about it. Thing is part of the greater conspiracy. And it's just a bunch of bull crap. I think they get hypersexual disorder, acute hypersexual disorder.

1:20:05 It's okay because this is why I bring it up and so the point at the long story and around is we don't take advertising Because this is what you'd wind up with and by the way, I think it's probably a really lucrative business to these guys You know you get people hooked on kind of the same stories except we have no dog in the hunt None whatsoever. I mean look we can't even get Hot Pockets to advertise and we and we advertise from all the time We can't even get them to sponsor a stupid RV and let me I dug up those two clips on advertising that that were the This is one of the reasons we do the show the way we do it and we want to emphasize this Besides the fact that we give you like hours and hours and hours of programming that's essentially free and we just ask for for help and

Media Matters, Orbitz, and Gay Dollars

George Soros-funded Media Matters is reportedly pressuring advertisers like Orbitz to boycott Fox News. Orbitz responded by stating they do not discriminate based on political leanings. The discussion notes that "Equality Matters" is a branch of Media Matters targeting specific demographics to influence corporate advertising spends.

1:20:53 and you know commuters love the show that we have it's it's cheaper than going to the movies there's a lot of effort put into it and we don't have people pressuring us to talk about one thing or another I'm gonna play these two clips back-to-back which is first the O'Reilly attack on advertisers I wanted to play in the last show and then the gay attack on the Fox advertisers because they don't like Fox they think they just don't like them Billionaire George Soros now funding the vicious far-left website Media Matters to the tune of about a million dollars a year at least. And that website is now threatening advertisers who appear on FNC. For example, the Orbitz travel agency was threatened, but their patriots over there issued a statement, quote, Media Matters is a political organization that has been funded pretty extensively to go after one network.

1:21:42 And we aren't going to engage in that fight. We have a strict policy of tolerance and non-discrimination, and that means we don't favor one political side over another." In media news, there are a number of gay groups that are trying to urge Orbitz to stop advertising on the Fox network. because of the bigotry that runs rampant on that network. And I guess they picked up on Orbitz because it is a pro-gay company and it has a gay travel service and all that stuff. They really go after the gay dollars in their ads. And it's actually nice to see their ads showing gay couples in their ads. And it's a beautiful thing to see. So they're urging you to go to drop

1:22:21 fox dot com i think we have a car run for that uh... if you want to get involved in urging uh... orbits to stop advertising on fox and i think they're going after other advertisers as well and that's being sponsored by the gay and lesbian alliance against defamation the courage campaign and equality matters uh... john we're so stupid we're not going after the gay dollars and equality matters by the way i think about that is a is just media matters Yeah. It is owned by Media Matters. It is Media Matters with a gay slant. I want, hey, as a bi-curious male, your gay dollars are welcome right here.

1:22:59 You're gay dollars, you're lesbian dollars, you're transgender dollars. Send me your dollars, your gay money. The point is that this kind of thing is really hampers coverage of anything. Of course. And because you put pressure on advertisers. You just don't like one thing or something somebody says or some guy offends you. Yeah, they pull their advertiser. You go after their advertiser. You don't even have to go after them. So we don't have that situation. The only way that they can get rid of us is they have to go kill every single one of our listeners. That's quite a job. Yeah it is, it would take a while. Eventually they would win, but it would take a while. Which is, it would take 10-20 years maybe. So why don't you get in quick before they off ya, and support this show. It's what we do. I have no other job at the moment, but I gotta start looking.

If they're sponsored, they're not gonna do that, right? So, I don't know. We gotta get a hold of the public relations department of Hot Pockets. I think it's part of a giant food combine. Speaking of public relations, so the president, you know, of course he has no time to sign anything. He's out there and... He's never home. He's not home. The president's not home or as they say outside the continental US. That's the official milieu talk. So he couldn't do his speech.

Joe Biden, Chrysler Loan Repayment, and Hybrid Fleet

Vice President Joe Biden claimed Chrysler repaid its government loans six years early, but the repayment was actually funded by taking out new private loans at lower interest rates. Simultaneously, the General Services Administration (GSA) is purchasing 400,000 vehicles, including many Chrysler hybrids like the Aspen, to meet a presidential goal of one million hybrids on the road. The efficiency of these $44,000 SUVs is questioned, as they only achieve 20 MPG on the highway.

And there's like no studios anywhere else in the world that he can go to? Give me a break. So Joe O'Biden came in to do it and it was very interesting. I was saying I missed this. No, by the way, 20 edits. 15. 15 edits in a five minute piece. The guy can't speak one sentence without messing it up.

1:27:10 I think he wanted to do it without prompter, because it doesn't really look like he was reading. He probably went like, ah crap, and then pick it up from there. It's a little jump cut throughout the whole thing. It's like really bad. Yeah, it's bad. I hope you're having a good weekend. So he tries to do it instead of, hello everybody, he does a, hello everyone, I'm Joe Biden. Hello everyone, I hope you're having a safe and enjoyable Memorial Day weekend. I've got some good news for us today. John, he's got good news. Hold on a second. What? How come the president's not in the United States on Memorial Day? Now he is. He's flying back today. So Memorial Day is tomorrow and he'll be in Mississippi for the Joplin with the tornado victims. Can you believe that the president a week ago proclaimed it National Hurricane Week? How wrong can you get it? It was National Hurricane Week and then all the tornadoes hit.

1:28:05 Hurricane Prevention Week, I think it was. Anyway. "...is our economy overall growing?" Hey, it's growing! "...one of the important sectors of our economy is on the rise again. The American automobile industry." Just a few days ago on Tuesday, Chrysler Corporation announced that they were repaying the taxpayers for the loans we gave them when we came into office. And this announcement came six years ahead of schedule. Six years ahead of schedule! The economy is growing with leaps and bounds! John, this is amazing! So I had to look into this. Let's just see if he lies anymore about it and then I'll tell you how they pulled this off. In just two years after Chrysler Corporation emerged from bankruptcy. You know, and it's a sign of what's happening throughout the American automobile industry.

1:28:54 It's not just Chrysler. Also this week GM announced that its Detroit Hamtramck factory will run three shifts for the first time in its 26 year history. You know, that's 2,500 more good paying jobs. We are saved! 2,000 more slave wage jobs! So of course I'm like, really? Chrysler paid back its loans? And it wasn't that hard to find. No, they took out other loans to pay off the government. They borrowed from Mary to pay. Yeah, exactly. They raised $3.2 billion through a bond sale and took $3 billion in lower interest bank loans. And they'll also use $1.3 billion of investment from fiat. So let me get this right.

1:29:44 The government was loan sharking them and they had to take the money by the way. Chrysler never wanted to take the money, they were forced to take the money just like the banks were forced to take the money, even the ones that didn't want it. And so the minute the term was up, they made me like get rid of this because you know they were paying 12% and now they're like 6 to 8%. So then I'm thinking well, Okay, so you know the banks are like oh, I mean why would the banks actually go out there and And lend them money, and we'd that have to have some kind of if you have some kind of contract or something like you know some kind of if you're gonna borrow that much money like a couple billion John if you and I showed up in Maryland said You know like Goldman. Hey, man. We want to 3.2 billion dollars or something

1:30:28 Then what do you got any contracts or anything and we'd say yeah at GSA our mission is to provide an effective sustainable and transparent government for the American people we support agencies so that they can support our great nation As part of that mission, we design and maintain federal buildings across the country and we help manage the acquisition of goods and services for the federal government, including the procurement of nearly 400,000 vehicles used by federal agencies. Oh, okay. You got to see this video of this press conference that the General Services Administration

1:31:09 So they've got like 30 Chrysler cars all parked behind the podium, you know, the hybrid cars. Way in the back there's like one Ford just to make it look like they're not partial. It's all Chrysler, all hybrid. The government is buying half a million dollar cars, half a million dollars worth of cars for the douchebags to drive around in. Well of course, they've got a big government contract. Half a billion, not half a million. Yeah, a sale of 400,000 cars, you can probably get some money from the bank for that. Exactly. Secure that deal. But it's only part of the president's initiative to get one million hybrid cars on the road

1:31:50 So, but yeah, it's... These are hybrid cars? Yeah, see, there's more to the clip. Chrysler makes a hybrid car? Yeah, oh yeah, and well, how about, and then, yes. This puts us in a unique strategic position to help the government invest in advanced technology vehicles. Already, GSA has made serious progress in integrating more fuel-efficient vehicles into the federal fleet. In the past year alone, we have doubled the number of hybrid vehicles across the government, replacing old cars with new fuel-efficient ones. These purchases have already led to a 25% increase in the fuel efficiency of the fleet, saving taxpayers $9 million last year. Woo! Saving $9 million in gas, but how much did we spend in replacing all those cars? Yeah. And where are they? Billions. Yeah. So can I pick up an old cop car somewhere?

1:32:50 I don't know, can you? I don't know. I don't know. But this is my point. You got Joe Biden lying. It's not really lying because they did pay back the loan, but it's not because the economy is better. It's because they got a cheaper loan somewhere else based upon the fact that you, Joe Biden, are helping buy their cars. It's like a circle. It's like a piece of poop swirling around in the pot. Only one way to go. I'm looking at the Chrysler Aspen Hybrid page. Yeah, I bet it's a gem. So I'm looking at this clunker and I'm looking, looking, looking. So here it is. This is the SUV hybrid, base price $44,000.

1:33:30 Miles per gallon. Now hybrids are known for their mileage. Give me a guess. City, road numbers. Like, you know, give me two numbers. The two numbers. I don't know. I bet you it's getting an average of 23 miles a gallon. I bet you it's not doing much better than that. 19. See, it's not that different. And it slashed 20 on the highway. So in town when you're running under a little battery you could get 19, then when you hit the road you get a massive 20. 20? Yeah. What's the point? Because it can't run very fast on the battery, I guess. I guess you need the engine. Oh, it's just a piece of crap, that's why. And does it look ugly?

1:34:11 Yeah. Yeah. That's my biggest... you know, electric schmuck. And it's funny because people roll up here, you know, actors come and rehearse with Mickey and whatever, and they're driving all these Priuses. This is like Los Angeles, the land of the Prius. And I always... I can't help but mock them. I challenge you. Like, hey, how's that battery car? And you know what they all say? Well, I have to do something. Really? I just let them go. I mean, don't get into what's gonna happen when they throw out that battery car, how it's gonna ruin stuff. Oh yeah, no, the battery is a... this is an environmental disaster. These batteries. Yeah. So anyway, so Joe...

CHAPTER 21 / 28 Discussion

Biden's American Dream, Memorial Day Advice

Joe Biden's definition of the American Dream—working hard, playing by the rules, and retiring with dignity—is criticized as a "slave life" narrative. Biden's Memorial Day message, encouraging citizens to perform "single acts of kindness" like mowing the lawn for military families, is mocked for being insincere given the ongoing deployments of hundreds of thousands of troops.

joe biden· american dream· memorial day· military families· jill biden

1:34:51 Joe is treating this he actually thinks it's still radio. He doesn't realize it's YouTube And he's like before I sign off everybody he's gonna sign off from his show. He's gonna sign off. I'm just recovering from this recession We're focused on making sure that if you work hard play by the rules You'll be able to get ahead put your kids through college retire with dignity and security oh that sounded like the definition of a slave life and No kidding work. Let's just listen to that again work hard Shut up, put your kids through cause what it sound like not just recovering from this recession Okay, this is the American dream as defined by Vice President Joe Biden We're focused on making sure that if you work hard work hard play by the rules by the rules be able to get ahead Get ahead put your kids through college. Yeah retire with dignity and security and then die

1:35:44 That doesn't sound very fun. What happened to the hookers? No, it doesn't sound fun at all. This guy's a buzz kill. What happened to the hookers and blow in there, O'Biden? Anyway, so before he signs off... He sounds drunk. Before he signs off, he's got some advice for y'all. Before I sign off... Just keep that clip, just that clip. Before I sign off. Play by the rules. You'll be able to get ahead. Put your kids through college. Retire with dignity and security. Before I sign off, I just want to mention once again Memorial Day. I remember what this holiday is all about. Isn't it about the sale? Isn't Memorial Day about sales? Am I wrong? Yeah, and you can get a 50% discount on sofas. And on cars, right? Memorial Day sale. Isn't that what you get by- It's a lot of Memorial Day car sales, yeah. Yeah, car sale. You know, we still have tens of thousands of troops deployed in harm's way.

1:36:37 Tens of thousands? Hmm. How about hundreds of thousands, Vice President O'Biden? Tens of thousands. Is that horrible? Hundreds of thousands. Hundreds of thousands, not tens of thousands. In days past Memorial Day, we remembered heroes from former wars. But I think it's absolutely essential that we all remember today that thousands of names have been added to those memorials and the wars that are still continuing. Let's see, the ones that the press is not allowed to actually report on, or we can't show, the coffins coming in with the flags draped over them. Those? You mean those, President? Vice President? Whatever your name is, or Biden, used car sales guy? Folks, all I ask you to do is what my wife Jill and Michelle Obama have been asking.

1:37:24 to reach out to those families who have someone deployed in your community. Let them know you know. Let them know you know the sacrifice they're making. Engage in, as my wife would say, a single act of kindness. Okay, so first of all, I do come from a military-slash-service family and I do honor Memorial Day in a way for those fallen in patriotic duty. Has O'Biden ever been in service? Do you know of? I don't know, I don't think so. I don't think so either. It just sounds so insincere what's coming out of his piehole. It really bothers me and particularly because we have these servicemen and women, hundreds of thousands, vice president, not tens of thousands, who are out there for no reason other than for your douchebaggery and your elitist crap and your oil cabal and it really makes me

1:38:19 It unsettles me. Maybe invite them to your barbecue this weekend. Oh, oh yeah. They're not here. How can I invite them when they're stuck in some crap hole? No, no, it's like invite the families. Oh, hey, your son is getting shot at for the oil cabal. Oh, come have a barbecue. What else can we do, Vice President? Mow their lawn. Offer to mow their lawn. Oh, yeah! Hey, your son's getting, daughter's getting shot at for this douchebag. Let me mow your lawn! Idiot you like what you produce a pack. I produce the whole package. I had a whole package produced just a yellowed him I produced a lawnmower I Was angry when I saw that clip Oh, yeah, you think you got me vice president Hey, I put work into the show

CHAPTER 22 / 28 Discussion

Yemen Evacuations, Syria No-Fly Zone, and Wesley Clark

Britain and the U.S. have urged their nationals to leave Yemen immediately as violence intensifies. This is viewed as a precursor to military intervention, possibly involving predator drones. The discussion references General Wesley Clark's "seven countries in five years" playbook, suggesting Syria and Yemen are the next targets for regime change despite Russian interests in the region.

yemen· syria· wesley clark· predator drone· no-fly zone· russia

1:39:23 Anyway, that's a topper. Well talking about our deployments You got me on I Knew I could I knew if I had the only I had a lawnmower John will appreciate it So while we're talking about our overseas deployments Tell me what you think's gonna happen when you play the after you play the clip get out of Yemen Oh my goodness. Here we go. Hey, I And in Yemen, Britain has joined the United States in urging its nationals to leave Yemen immediately. Clashes have intensified between government forces and tribal fighters in the capital, Sanaa. More than 100 people have been killed in four days of violence, with each side accusing the other of trying to provoke civil war.

1:40:08 Get out! Let me think. Why are they telling him to get out? I was enjoying myself here in Yemen. The beaches are lovely this time of year. I got two words. Predator drone. Jonas Brothers. Yeah. Yeah, well. But it's Syria first. I think Yemen is just... there's not that many people to get out of Yemen. You don't know that. Very few people live there. It's a small country. Yemen. Less people live in Yemen than in Los Angeles, that's for sure. Okay, so do you think we're gonna have a no-fly zone over Yemen? Or Syria? Or Syria first? I think Syria first. Well, the model that we had, which that clip by the way seems to disappear from the internet, which we need to revisit every once in a while, the Wesley Clark clip.

1:40:59 Oh, I don't have that handy. Yeah, put it up for the next show because we need to bring it up about once a month where he you know, they was told that what the what the what the pattern was gonna be and we're gonna do this this and this she would say Syria would be next well, not only that but because Syria has the Syria has the Russian naval base, but they've actually taken all of the right steps for Syria. So they've stolen the money, they've frozen the assets, they've got these reports of thousands of civilians being killed. I think the Viagra thing is next. I mean, they may just move that ahead on the chessboard and move that one a little forward. But yeah, this is where it's time for a no-fly zone.

1:41:44 But I think it'll be Syria and it's and not because Syria has all this oil is strategically of course. It's important at the same time they've got the The Russian naval base there. What do you think well? I mean, I'm going along with the Syria thing because of the the pattern to do the what Clark said was the playbook is what I'm looking for. But because the Russians involvement, I suspect they're gonna do a little dipsy-do and Yemen's gonna get a lot of attention before Syria gets its snowfly zone. Oh, like a little cover-up or something like that? Yeah, a little like, let's, you know, we're doing this for... I think I'm just seeing, because this get out, you know, kind of announcement that the BBC had was like disconcerting.

1:42:33 Yeah, well there was, I think there was, wasn't there also a US State Department get out message? I think I saw that too. Yeah, that came first. That was like a few days earlier. So I'm literally trying to, I'm like squirreling through trying to find the General Wesley Clark clip. I'm sorry, because it disappeared from the internet. Don't worry about it. We just played some other time. Okay, because we do have it. And we don't lose that one. No, no, no, no. I say it because it's been disappeared from the internet, right? Somebody said, that's what some people have been reporting. It's very difficult to find now. So, John, you and I have discussed homeschooling many times on this program. I believe you have homeschooled one or more of your kids and they've turned out to be fine, upstanding citizens of Gitmo Nation. As most homeschoolers have become. Almost every winner of the Spelling Bee, National Spelling Bee is a homeschooled kid. Oh really? I didn't know that. Is that a scientific fact? Over the last decade, yeah. Is that science? Science! Are you sure? Observable fact. So, Kathleen Sebelius.

CHAPTER 23 / 28 Discussion

Kathleen Sebelius, Kindergarten Readiness, and Ritalin

Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius discussed a study claiming half of five-year-olds are not ready for kindergarten because they cannot sit still. This is interpreted as a push for increased medication of children with Ritalin. A satirical version of the Pledge of Allegiance is played to highlight concerns over early childhood indoctrination.

kathleen sebelius· kindergarten· ritalin· brainwashing· pledge of allegiance

1:43:34 Who is not, last time I checked, in charge of education. But she is in charge of human, she's the secretary of human health and services. And I might point out, has a security detail. Did you know that? Why? I don't know, but she's in like Runner Magazine, and she's talking about how her security detail can't keep up with her. What you got a security detail for? Does every bonehead have to have a security detail nowadays? Is that how dangerous it's become to become a stooge for the government? Yeah, well you gotta have a security detail and a hybrid.

1:44:10 Does she have a bunch of staff? Does she have the million-dollar staff of 25 slaves working like Michelle Obama has? Oh, I think more than that. She's in charge of an entire department. She has tens of thousands. Well, I mean, working for her directly. Okay, go on with the story. So there's a conference call With the press. Now I did a lot of work trying to filter this because it was a really, it's like one of those things, almost like one of those financial reports and when the CEO is on this speakerphone so it sounded like crap. So I hope you're going to be able to understand what she said. I actually did the work, I monolized it, I did rolled off high end, put in, I mean this is the work I do!

1:44:50 I hope it turns out okay. You can hear it, John. Yeah, I think it's funny. It sounds... It does sound horrible. Here's what she had to say, because we have some issues with the five-year-olds in our country, apparently. Oh? Yeah, yeah, yeah. We need to do some work on... Those five-year-olds are trouble. Oh, yeah. Terry Duncan in Seville. My question concerns early learning improvement for health, social, emotional outcomes for children's birth to age five. And I'm just wondering what were the current problems that were found with the health, social, and emotional developments for children's age birth to five? I think also I've seen a bunch of studies, including ones that were done in our own state. When we looked at five-year-olds, and we tested about half the five-year-olds in a fairly homogeneous state like Kansas,

1:45:42 and found that about half of them were not ready for kindergarten at age five. And some of those skills were missing readiness for either math or reading. A number of children were missing the social and developmental skills which would allow them to sit in a classroom or play with others or listen to a teacher for any period of time. So I think it was an indicator that you couldn't just test Did you hear what she said? Were you able to understand that? I couldn't get the last part of it. She said that we found that these children were not ready for kindergarten, they didn't have the essential skills and they could not sit still.

1:46:22 When you're five, aren't you supposed to be like this? Isn't that kind of what you're supposed to be? Well, it's one of the developmental things. You have to be moving all your muscles and seeing what your limits are. And basically, a kid should be highly mobile and pretty difficult to make sit still. Yeah, well especially men, especially the boys more than the girls. Because we have hypersexual disorder. Well there's that, but we also, we had a clip some time back that discussed this. And so yeah, so obviously what they're thinking is the drug the kids are medicating. Exactly, and then... Does Sebelius have any children? I hope not, that would be horrible. I hope she's not propagating that DNA. She did then introduce the new Pledge of Allegiance. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America.

1:47:10 United States of America. Thank you very, very much for letting little kids live here. It was nice of you. You didn't have to do it. It's not free to have little, little kids. Mindlessly recite this anthem every day. Pledge their life to a government. Be bold enough to really think about it. This is not a form of brainwashing.

1:47:48 This is not a form of brainwashing. This is really the greatest country in the whole world. All the other countries suck, and if this country ever goes to war, there's often much to do. I promise to help go and kill all the other countries' kids, unless Johnson & Johnson God bless G.E.S. City Group, Amen! Very good kids, now come and get your Ritalin.

1:48:29 Yeah, we got a lot of people that sent us that one. I like that one. Yeah, it's a beauty. She has two boys. Uh-huh. Oh, how were they when they were five? Were they just shutting up and being quiet? I don't know. We've never heard from them since. Ned and John. Ned and John? Yeah, born in 82 and 85. Yeah, here's a little jingle for them. You know, she was the Kansas in the Kansas Department of Corrections for a couple years? Oh, well that makes sense. She's a prison warden. Yeah, she's a screw. She's a screw. She's a prison... and by the way, you never see her and that Lagarde woman in the same picture. And you don't see John Kerry. I'm looking at her picture, I think it is John Kerry with a wig. It could be John Kerry. With a wig. Hey, bad news, John. Bad news.

CHAPTER 24 / 28 Discussion

Amsterdam Coffee Shop Restrictions, Belgium Government

The Dutch government has announced new restrictions on coffee shops, turning them into private clubs limited to Dutch citizens to combat organized crime. This "Amsterdam hates tourists" policy is expected to move the marijuana trade to the streets. The influence of Brussels on Dutch policy is noted, alongside the fact that Belgium has functioned without a formal government for over a year.

amsterdam· netherlands· coffee shops· marijuana· brussels· belgium

1:49:29 The government of Gitmo Nation Lowlands has said, that's it. You want to go to a coffee shop? No can do. Only for Dutch citizens with a pass. Club pass. What? Yep, it's all over. All over. Yeah, that's the new government. Get what you voted for, kiddies. Yeah, so each coffee shop can become a club. Now, coffee shop for people who don't know in the United States, coffee shop is a place where you go and you smoke dope. Yeah, but y'all can also drink coffee and they have nice little kegs. Oh yeah, but it's not really for coffee, that's why they're called coffee shops. No, excuse me, I'd like to correct you.

1:50:12 A coffee shop is of course a place to go and buy your dope, but it's also a place to socialize, drink some coffee or tea and smoke your dope. Yeah, okay. But it is, anyway. So coffee shops looks like... This is ridiculous. What's the point? It's the Amsterdam... Was it dangerous or people shooting it up when they're coming out of the place? Hey, get me my gun. I'm going to start shooting up the place. It was the Amsterdam hates tourists bill, I think is what they're calling it. So Premier Rutte, Rutte said in a press conference, you know, there's a lot of organized crime around this weed business. Organized crime. We gotta get rid of all organized crime. They're all in the coffee shops. The coffee shops now become clubs and each club can have max 1500 members and they only if they're Dutch citizens.

1:51:08 So of course this will only do one thing that will move the weed trade to the streets. Idiots. It's the whole thing. It's the United States of Europe, you know. They gotta harmonize everything. Everything's gotta be in harmony with Brussels. Oh well. Well, why don't you Dutch just give your country over to Brussels? To Belgium, let the Belgians run it. There's no government in Belgium. They haven't had a government for over a year. Perfect! I think that is actually the idea. And that's what Nigel Farage says. Belgium is a model citizen of the United States of Europe. No government, shut up, do whatever Brussels says. That's why our donations are down, we're not playing enough Farage.

CHAPTER 25 / 28 Discussion

Consumption Tax vs. VAT, Expenditure Tax Debate

A debate on John Stossel's program regarding a "consumption tax" is analyzed. The proposed tax is distinguished from a Value Added Tax (VAT) by being an "expenditure tax" that shields savings and investments. Critics argue this system would require the government to track all personal spending and would ultimately favor Wall Street by penalizing those who do not invest in traditional financial products.

consumption tax· vat· sales tax· stossel· expenditure tax· wall street

1:51:57 We need more. He hasn't been saying anything great lately. They probably told him to shut up. There's a bunch of stuff hearings going on. I spent a lot of time listening to C-SPAN. Oh my goodness. So I couldn't find anything like this. It was on Stossel and it's about the consumption tax and the guy explaining it and the clip I have here is like what WTF, which is the name of the clip, is a consumption tax and the way the guy tries to... You have to explain it to me because I can't get it from this. We would have in addition to that, we would have the consumption tax. That is it'd be loaded on top of what we already have. That's what scares me about a consumption or sales tax. You're actually misunderstanding it. You're actually misunderstanding it. Okay.

1:52:45 You're mixing it up with a value-added tax, like I lived under in Europe, and you're exactly right about that. Or a national sales tax, which I think would be ridiculous. What we mean by a consumption tax is what you consume, what you spend. So you shield savings. But I don't want the government to know what I spend. No, no, wait a minute. What you save is not taxed. What you spend is taxed. But I'd have to tell the government everything about what I've spent. Look, you have to, you know, if you're going to have a tax system there where everybody's treated fairly, then we do have to have, I'm afraid, a situation where you can't have people hiding money and so on. It's got to be... Hold on, I have a question.

1:53:21 Why is some English guy telling me what's happening here? Who is this guy? This was a show where they had these three different tax proposals in an audience that were going to vote on them. And they brought up this topic of consumption tax. But this guy is British. This guy was the British guy who had this consumption tax notion in his presentation. So now they're asking him about it and he says, and this is the logic, the consumption tax is not like a value-added tax. It's not like a US sales tax. It's based on what you consume. Well, let me let me listen the rest of the clip. How do you do that without it being a value-added or allow me to listen to the rest of the clip? It's got to be equal. It's got to be a single rate. I want to hide my money. I'm gonna hide some money too. Can I just say that the one thing that Bob and I agree on I mean if Bob and I can agree on anything maybe it should be enacted which is a flat tag. I think a flat tag. Get rid of the duction. It doesn't go anywhere. You should stop the clip.

1:54:20 So there's never any further explanation of this consumption tax which I've heard here and there floating around. But the consumption tax, I think it's bull crap. I think what we've got here is a redefinition of a VAT. Because value added tax is just, it's 19 to 21 percent depending on which Gitmo nation state of Europe you live in. And it's just tacked on to every... Everything you do. Well here it is. I've consulted the book of knowledge. A consumption tax, a tax on spending on goods and services, the tax base of such a tax is the money spent on consumption. Consumption taxes are usually indirect, such as sales tax or value-added tax. So it's actually an amalgamation of sales and VAT. However, a consumption tax can also be structured as a form of direct personal taxation, such as an expenditure tax. Expenditure tax

1:55:20 Direct personal consumption tax that may take the form of a spending tax or income tax that deducts savings and investments Okay. Oh, I see a direct so here's how they do it You'd have to tell the government how much you have invested and or saved or created and then all the rest you get taxed extra over because you apparently spent that on stupid stuff like food you idiot and gas and that's fair so it is essentially a collecting a value-added tax away from the cash register. Correct. I think the way this guy explained it, that's what it is. It's an expenditure tax and what it's just another, it's just an extra tax that is put on top of your... Of all the other taxes we have. Of all the other taxes except if you invested something in their bogus Wall Street crap

1:56:17 or whatever that Dvorak show advises you. It's essentially turning into a guy running your own 401k or something. Yeah. Because essentially everything you don't, although you're taxed on that money anyway for the income tax tax, but you're not further taxed on it if you put it in the bank. Right, if you give it to the douchebags on Wall Street. If you put it in the bank where you get 0.5% interest. Unbelievable. Yeah, you know what? I'm poor now. How poor, how much poorer can I get? I told Nikki, I said... Lots. Yeah, well it's gonna happen. I said, you know, if the donations don't work out, we don't get this thing. I'm going on this trip with her. I said, honey, I'm going on this trip with you, it's the last thing I do. But after that, I'm broke. And then, I don't know, we gotta move to a cheaper place, I guess. I think, well, you... Hey, hey, hey, hey, you got a big house there.

CHAPTER 26 / 28 Discussion

Digestive Discomforts, Sustanex Ad, and Dr. Oz

A new marketing trend uses the plural noun "discomforts" to describe digestive issues in advertisements for Sustanex. The ad, which features an endorsement from Dr. Oz, mimics the structure of prescription drug commercials. The linguistic shift from "discomfort" as a state to "discomforts" as a specific medical symptom is noted as a new advertising meme.

sustanex· discomforts· dr. oz· probiotics· advertising· grammar

1:57:12 I'm sorry. You got like a big house with no one so uh can we like rent a room? That didn't sound very positive. I didn't hear like an affirmation for your buddy Adam. Huh? Yeah, you could make some good movies. No problem. It's just it's just nuts. So it's just gonna get a whole lot worse until it gets better I guess. So I found a new meme. Nice. That's not an important one, but instead of having like a stomach ache you now have discomforts. With an S. Discomforts? With an S? Yeah. Really? Do you have a clip of this?

I really was getting down with my car. Do you have anal leakage discomforts? Wow. Yeah, discomforts. Is that actually technically good? I don't know what it means. It's just it's plural of discomfort. I don't know why they're using it. Who is it appealing to? Oh, I've got discomforts. But isn't it politically correct, I guess, instead of saying I got gas, I'm going to fart. Well, she said that, actually. She thinks she actually said she had to fart. But a discomfort is not a noun and they've turned it into a noun.

2:00:35 What is discomfort? It's an uh... sub... subjective... herb? It's an herb! It's an herb! What is discomfort and then what is discomforts? I don't know but I think you should...

That's what I meant. I told you it was a transitive verb. It's a transgendered verb.

Pfizer Shantix Suicide Data, Post Office Box Errors

Pfizer is accused of failing to report hundreds of suicides and psychotic reactions related to the smoking-cessation drug Shantix by submitting data through "improper channels." A parallel is drawn to the U.S. State Department's passport division, which reportedly provided an outdated P.O. Box address for applications, leading to significant mail delivery failures.

pfizer· shantix· fda· suicide· post office· state department

2:01:38 Yeah, I guess you can have a discomfort and that would be a noun and or plural would be discomforts So it's technically correct. Okay. All right, just sounds kind of weird. Well, especially when it's plural Yes, so let me just while we're talking about the pharmaceutical industry Of course we have been saying on this program for I'm gonna wager up Mm-hmm two years I think we've been warning against the shantyx Stop smoking medication. I think it may be longer than that. I think it's about two years. I think it's alright

2:02:18 This of course came out just this past week. Drug makers send data to FDA through improper channels. Turns out hundreds of reports of suicides, psychotic reactions and other serious problems tied to the popular stop smoking drug Shantix or in the UK Shampix were left out of a crucial government safety review because Pfizer Inc. The drugs manufacturers submitted years of data through improper channels. So they sent it to the wrong PO box. Which is humorous. Some 150 suicides. So, okay, when you're done with this I got a PO box thing. Go on. More than doubling those previously known were among the 589 delayed reports of severe issues turned up in a new analysis about this drug. Oh, thanks.

2:03:12 I think everyone, I hope everyone can go sue Pfizer if someone committed suicide or killed someone. Pfizer's gonna beg off, they're gonna say, we sent it to the box, they told us to, here's what happened to me. So I'm in Madrid, I lost my passport, right? I got pickpocketed. So they give me all this paperwork to fill out to get a new passport after I get the temporary one. They give me a, on the cover letter, and I have photos of this by the way, because I got a nasty note from the State Department, some woman there who's like an old hack. She bitched at me for writing a column about this. So on the cover sheet they have a, here's what you do, take all this stuff, sign it, put the pictures in there, put your passport, and mail it here to this post office box in Philadelphia. I mail it. A week later it comes back.

2:04:00 with a bunch of stamps on it. Return to sender. Return to sender, this box is not over, da da da, we waited and nobody came to pick it up and there's a bunch of stuff all over the envelope and I said what's this bullcrap? So I call the passport office and they say no that oh that's an old post office box we don't use anymore. Okay. And so the new box number they give me and I send the stuff off but I'm thinking you Wait a minute, the passport people, they must be getting thousands and thousands of people sending stuff in. One, first of all, by the way, why are they handing out cover letters with the wrong address? State Department. Well, their website was outdated too, right? That information. And their website was outdated. She said, well, that was just a mistake. Well, this is another mistake. Apparently that's all they do. So anyway, but besides the point,

2:04:49 What is wrong with the post office these things are piling up the other box is just down the road or down the hall or three doors over Why don't they take the pile and put it over at the other one because you know where it's headed It's got the right name on it because they have discomforts John. It's unbelievable to me They can't get they can't go from point A to point B with this they can't forward it There's no forwarding address for the US government State Department passport division I believe I'm gonna give Pfizer the benefit of the doubt on this story Can you just say, get off my lawn? Hey you kids! Get off my lawn! Nice. Yeah, well, okay. Alright. You go ahead and you shill for Big Pharma. I'm not shilling for anybody, I'm just giving- You got drugs coming in for free?

2:05:37 I'm getting free drugs over there. I'm with Pfizer on this one. I'm with Pfizer because this is the kind of bull traffic that goes on. There's words I never would have thought I'd hear from you. It goes like this, the Pfizer guys are going, how come they didn't use all those things we sent them? You know, we sent them all this stuff and they're giving it to us. No, they're not. They're giving it, wait a minute, they're giving it, they're going, and they're giving us the go ahead to just go crazy. That's all right. Yeah, high five. No, here's how it really went. Hey man, you got the bag with all the money? Hey, they haven't asked for the bag with the money. Why not? I don't know. We sent him all that crap. And that's what happened. Oh, funny. Yeah, actually not very funny.

E. Coli in Germany, Rat Meat Cookbooks, and Outro

The show concludes with a rapid-fire news update covering an E. Coli outbreak in Germany, Chinese workers building motorways in Poland, and the IMF threatening to withhold aid from Greece. A recommendation is made for the book "Unmentionable Cuisine," which includes recipes for rat and squirrel, as a potential resource for future economic hardships.

e. coli· germany· poland· cookbooks· rat meat· greece· imf

2:06:22 Okay, just quick rundown on stuff that has come across no agenda news network calm and there's tons of we got a big E. Coli outbreak in Gitmo nation Deutschland which is freaking people out it's the EH CH version and there's tons of people in the industry HM in this clunking house and that people are concerned Obviously. So I'm sure there's a vaccine on the way for it. The true protesters in Gitmo Nation Castanets got their ass kicked off of the square by the Gestapo. These are the kids who have no job, no future. Yeah, 40% unemployment amongst the youth in Spain. Yeah, no place to live and then they get a baton shoved up their rectum. And they have discomforts now, I'm told.

2:07:10 Meanwhile, our president Obama, of course in March of this year, just before March 21st, let me remind you what he said on that date. He said, you know, no need for regime change in Libya. Now, of course, it's all about regime change and there was this mysterious explosion in the morning. Did you catch that? Mysterious explosion in Tripoli. Yeah, a predator drone explosion. Mysterious. The whole thing is such a theater. Let me just remind you what our president said on March 21st.

2:07:55 Anticipate this transition to take place in a matter of days and not a matter of weeks Okay, just checking how many matter of days are we now John we're like and by the way he's emphasizing that he's specifically said he wants to emphasize specifically The news been now it's a matter of months. Yes, the new Libyan rebel administration is saying hey guys. We're out of money and We need money, send money! Oh yeah, of course. And of course there is now... Because we can't fix the potholes here on Highway 80 but we can send these guys money. Well a total of 40, 4-0 billion dollars is being committed by the allies, the allies of NATO. President Obama also committed US backing for pro-democracy movements.

2:08:43 And he's basically saying, hey, what, you got potholes? Screw you. We're gonna send money to the desert. Which I have a problem with that. But that's what's... You have a problem with that. Meanwhile, China is in Poland. I didn't know this. Over 500 Chinese workers, China's workers are working on the A2 motorway connecting Berlin to Warsaw. I did not know this. So China is already in Europe. I wonder what they promised or if they're paying, I guess they're paying for the motorway. They might be. Yeah. You know, Poland of course, the president was there and he, I love the deal he made. Did you catch, did you follow any of this? I mean it's hard for Americans. I know about the visa deal. Yeah, so he said, you know what, we're gonna put you in our visa waiver program which means you can just, and by the way it's not entirely true because you still have to sign up for that crazy

2:09:47 System you have to register you can come in without a visa for 90 days a tourist visa in which most people in the Poland is not a not on board with the euro yet So they so they don't get all the same privileges, but now like here you go You can come in you can visit and he literally said we we want you to shop on Fifth Avenue and He literally said that and then he caught himself and said and other places but of course Fifth Avenue. Polish schmucks. They got no money. The Zloty is worthless. Okay, we're gonna thank you for the aspiration Mr. President when they come and shop on Fifth Avenue. In return we're gonna put some missiles in Poland. I can just see the Pol- that's a good deal. Hey comrade John we get to travel free to America? We had put the rockets in the backyard. That was the deal.

2:10:45 You know, the last time they put missiles in Poland it caused all kinds of issues with the Russians. We shouldn't be doing that. Yeah, well we're doing it. That's the whole point. Why? Because apparently it'll motivate Polish to come over here and shop on Fifth Avenue. Unbelievable. Well, unbelievable or not, that's exactly what he said. Please come and shop on Fifth Avenue. Come on over everybody. And then we're going to put some rockets to protect against common enemies. And then, uh, where is it? I can't seem to find my jingles here today. Anyway, out of the shadow puppet theater, Judd Gregg. You familiar with Mr. Judd Gregg? No, I never heard of Judd Gregg. He was a three-term senator, Judd Gregg, and I guess he got kicked out in this previous election. He just got hired by Goldman Sachs as their international advisor. Great. Government Sachs at work, ladies and gentlemen.

2:11:47 The shadow puppet theater and the revolving door continues. I thought that wasn't... I guess the senator is not the same as the administration. You can do whatever you want, right? I don't think so. And then, hey, Juncker, the IMF... Is he the president, I think, of the International Monetary Fund? He's like saying, I'm sorry, we can't make any more payments to Greece. If you guys aren't going to play the game and sell your beaches, I'm sorry. So it's a he's always Luxembourg. There we go. He leads the group of euro area finance ministers. But of course, that's all intertwined. He says the International Monetary Fund may not release its portion of aid to Greece next month. I wonder how rat meat tastes.

2:12:37 The French have, by the way, anyone who wants to get a copy of an outstanding cookbook, I'm warning now the No Agenda book club to put this on their list. This is Unmentionable Cuisine is the title. I think it's out of University of North Carolina Press. And it's essentially a cookbook, a big one I might add, that has recipes for, real recipes, worldwide recipes for everything from bugs to dog to cat. rat and it has all the French Revolution recipes that were developed for eating rat. Really? Because during the revolution apparently wasn't a lot of food and there's lots of rats in Paris. Wait a minute, so this would be in the public domain this book if it's been out that long?

2:13:20 No, no, it's just collected all these recipes. Many of the recipes are fairly new. It has the real... Yeah, no kidding. The Greek recipe for rat? Is that the new one? And there's a lot of recipes, by the way, for squirrel. Oh really? Oh, I like it. Squirrel! We got one here. Okay, well I'm gonna look at that. I think it's gonna be very important. And actually, I think I'm gonna pick up a couple of rescue dogs. Just in case. There's a hedge. Yeah, in case we get hungry Fido is gonna be the first one to go Mickey's been saying oh, let's get a pet.
