About this episode

The Anthony Weiner sexting scandal takes a dark turn as new theories suggest the Congressman was a political beard for his wife, Huma Abedin, to mask her alleged relationship with Hillary Clinton. While Reince Priebus and Nancy Pelosi lead the bipartisan charge for Weiner’s resignation, the sudden scrutiny of his New York congressional seat points toward a calculated redistricting play. The timing of the scandal coincides with the release of Lisa Baron’s provocative book, The Life of the Party, which threatens to expose the sexual underbelly of the Republican establishment.

In Europe, the Q104 E. coli outbreak raises alarms as Natural News reports suggest the bacteria’s unique DNA sequences may be the product of laboratory bioengineering rather than natural evolution. Meanwhile, massive anti-austerity protests in Athens see Greek citizens deploying whistles as sound weapons against authorities, a story largely ignored by American media outlets like Entertainment Tonight. In the United States, a Department of Education SWAT team raid on a Stockton home over student loan fraud highlights the increasing militarization of administrative agencies, while Susan Rice signals a potential UN-sanctioned no-fly zone for Syria.

Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak analyze the psychological warfare of global health crises and the suspicious 75-year seal on the Dr. David Kelly inquest files. Presidential candidate Gary Johnson stops by to pitch his plan for abolishing the IRS and the Federal Reserve, though his lack of media savviness draws comparisons to comedian Ryan Stiles. The show concludes with a warning about Facebook’s new automatic facial recognition features and the rise of pork-coated bullets in the war on terror.

Anthony Weiner Sexting Scandal and Political Setup Theories

The hosts analyze the Anthony Weiner sexting scandal and the subsequent press conference where the Congressman admitted to lying. A theory is proposed that Weiner was set up by political opponents or intelligence agencies who had access to his accounts, noting the aggressive calls for his resignation from both Republicans like Reince Priebus and Democrats like Nancy Pelosi.

anthony weiner· reince priebus· greta van susteren· nancy pelosi· debbie wasserman schultz

01:05 Weiner gate we try to talk about it last time you passed it over why we skip Skip it again cuz I got a theory. I gotta I gotta theory oh Okay, well so first of all Dude there's no need to tweet me when there's something like a wiener press conference now. I tweet me that text me and I didn't text you about a wiener press conference. Yeah, yeah when he came out and said that he'd all right Right right really really? You think what do you think I'm doing here twiddling my thumbs all day? No man we came back like a driving burger place with girls on the roller skates no man III was Jones and I couldn't wait to get back to watch me some C-SPAN live

01:53 Of course the action was on CNN. There was no C-SPAN Live where the crap this week. I know, so Occam's razor wins again eh? What a lying sack of garbage Mr Anthony Weiner Alright well we would assume you would think that he because i think he was set up There's a very interesting, but I haven't gotten quite to the bottom of why. They...I know they want to get rid of him and they're trying to get rid of him as fast as possible. They want to get him out of there and he refuses to go knowing that whole thing is about getting rid of him Right Which I kind of hinted at on the last show but then there was a clip that always thought it was screwy but now makes a lot more sense

02:39 and if you listen to the Republicans in particular, in fact they have a clip from Rince Prebys or whatever that guy by the way have you ever seen that guy? Yeah. How does that guy win anything Well, it's not a... It wasn't an actual election to become the spokes-hole for the Republican Party? Well I mean he is just the most dweebish character. He looks like a troll that I've ever and I don't use that word lightly No you don't. I ever ran across and he was just hounding and hounding And there was very interesting thing with him and Greta Van Susteren who apparently even though she works for Fox I don't think she has ever

03:17 I don't think she's ever brought into the meetings. No, she seems kind of on the up and up actually Yeah so she is always baffled by when somebody comes with some litmus thing That's just the way her facial expression is that mouth like In this case she was completely baffled She could not figure out why the Republicans didn't want to keep Weiner around as a punching bag And Previs had the weakest argument. You might play that as a preface to what we're going to discuss. It's so lucky you! It was such a tactical matter, imagine if he left today and disappeared but if he sticks around until the next election there you have somebody who can point it from a tactical standpoint I think

03:57 the last thing the Republican Party should want is that he resign. Because it looks bad, let the hearing drag out of- you know let the ethics investigation go on. It's not going to get any prettier! You know as we look at these emails unfold they only get uglier every time we open the newspaper and read the things he says I mean there is a terrible crack that he makes today about Jewish women and his awful big Jewish women constituents. It gets worse! I would want to stick around if i were you. But here's the problem, it is bad for our country and I think that people like Nancy Pelosi and Debbie Wasserman Schultz ought to do the right thing in calling this resignation. Where have they been? Where has Nancy Pelosi on calling for the resignation? Where is Debbie Wasserman Schultz on calling for the resignation? See I'd be afraid to say that because I'm afraid your going to get your turn

04:41 I think that they should. I worry about both sides of the aisle! I think that they should call for his resignation, i think the guy has exhibited the utmost outrageous behavior uh...I think as a congressman and way he did it in this high three ring circus that he's created yeah alright so you have a theory? sorry I can't hear do you have a theory Well, I'm convinced he was set up by... and it's a known fact. In fact the newsrooms all feel that you know everybody they were on to him doing this some time ago and they just needed to bring some people in to expose it there is an interesting post on my blog about how you can now today people don't realize that no matter what password use you can crack within two minutes

05:29 So you have to assume that all the intelligence agencies in both sides of the aisle, parties and everybody in between are in everybody's accounts especially in Congress. So they're watching everything these guys do to an extreme now there's looking at the back channels of everything so they could have done this to this guy apparently anytime they wanted to but there is either a vote coming up it or its payback to Schumer because Schumer he's his protege There is definitely something going on, but the key to understanding it I believe is the fact that they're trying to rush this guy out. No. Let me...I went back to 2007 and after the show was a Sunday

CHAPTER 03 / 38 Discussion

Huma Abedin, Hillary Clinton, and the Beard Theory

A detailed theory suggests Anthony Weiner acted as a "beard" for his wife, Huma Abedin, to cover for an alleged long-term relationship between Abedin and Hillary Clinton. The discussion highlights Abedin's expensive lifestyle, her role as Clinton's "body man," and the fact that Bill Clinton officiated the Weiner-Abedin wedding in 2010.

huma abedin· hillary clinton· anthony weiner· bill clinton· wolf blitzer

06:14 And we play I played the clip for you of CNN wolf blitzer by the way that you know it's one thing to lie To your constituents is one thing to lie to your family and to your wife, but oh boy You better not be lying to Wolf Blitzer. That that is the criminal offense here from Mr.. Wiener I went back and listened to our show, and looked at what we had then of show notes. Nothing like we have now And the clue for me was that Wolf Blitzer had edited out the entire discussion about what his wife Huma Abedin does That's interesting... They played 5-6 minutes with Weiner This is before he came out with Truth

06:56 Why would they cut that whole piece out, which wasn't all that much in time wise about her work with Hillary Clinton. And I went back in 2007 end of 2007 right around the time we started this show John and 2008 we were talking about on this very program we're talking about the possible lesbian relationship between Hillary Clinton and Houma Abedin Huma Abedin known as her body man is actually what people are calling it and there were a lot of rumors. So right around the time those rumors are starting to peak all of a sudden she's dating Anthony Weiner

07:35 who was just about to, I think he was now at that time he was maybe just a freshman congressman and perfect match. He's Muslima. Okay okay I know where you're going. Okay well let me complete it Now the interesting things side notes Huma Abedin who as an assistant when Hillary Clinton was senator was making $9000 dollars a year now she's probably making official salary of about 40 She has a $700,000 condo which she purchased outright in Washington DC. She has Prada bags, Marc Jacob bags...she's got tons of beautiful expensive stuff so you know it's not and it's not coming from her family who as far as I can tell is not loaded or rich. She's well accessorized. Yes exactly! She's also stunningly beautiful

08:25 But I see her in pictures with Lucifer Clinton, they're wearing the same red outfits. And if you believe Jennifer Flowers on page 42 of her book about Bill Clinton she quotes Bill Clinton telling her that Hillary Clinton has eaten more you know what than he has That's the line in the book So I believe that Anthony Weiner, who by the way their marriage July 10th 2010 was presided and officiated by Bill Clinton. Yes I believe that he was in on the game, he was in there to act as the beard for Huma Abedin and Lucifer Clinton. And that's why he had such an incredible big mouth because he had the power of the Clintons behind him! All he had to do all he had to do was just play along with a game and he could have been in a great position

09:21 Now, of course because he doesn't actually have a relationship with this woman like most guys. He's freaking out! So that's when he gets into the whole Twitter and email thing and the cyber-sexing and all that stuff And it... When he was up there apologizing he wasn't crying for his wife John, he was crying for himself That he messed it all up This is why they want him out because everyone who's against the power of the Clintons wants to get this guy out That's what going on here I like it Yeah, and I think it's pretty rock solid. Ah you know do you be the only variable in here? You're gonna have to explain this away since i'm giving this one to you okay thank you what is or is she not pregnant or is that bull crap? I think you know um and that came out and apparently was in the New York Times I didn't read it I think that is first of all

10:15 it's when people are pregnant they usually don't say anything until a minimum of three months of pregnancy that's just total distraction just to throw you know fan the flames a little more I don't think that's true and if anything its a plant to make you believe that they had consummated the marriage and again to move away from Hillary and what is this? I have like some kind of weird Crackle. If anything, it's meant to move you away from thinking that Lucifer and Huma have some form of lesbian relationship Okay well my thing... the only thing I can get out again is observing this rush to get him out of there Well because anyone who doesn't like the Clintons and i think there's quite a body count they want him out because the guy still has the power of the Clintons behind them

11:11 You see? Look, we've observed this guy and sometimes I... We have clip after clip because he does do exactly what you say. He goes in front of Congress with nobody else does and just rails on them! Because he has that power the Clintons are still incredibly powerful Incredibly powerful And sometimes actually, you know I agree with what he's doing. You know like against Clarence Thomas and stuff that's good stuff But he had such a big mouth and all of sudden it all clicked for me. I'm like obviously Obviously now there is something... Wait a minute let's stop here Okay

CHAPTER 04 / 38 Discussion

Occam's Razor and New York Redistricting Politics

The hosts debate whether the Weiner scandal was a complex setup or a simple case of personal failure, applying Occam's Razor to the situation. They consider if New York's upcoming redistricting process provided a political motive for removing Weiner from his congressional seat.

anthony weiner· new york· redistricting· chuck schumer· vogue magazine

11:47 I'm buying this theory and it's tawdry, and it's creative. She was in Vogue magazine! How many staffers get a pictorial in Vogue magazine? I can just see Lucifer going, honey I'm gonna get you on Vogue don't you worry I'll take care of ya have another Marc Jacobs bag Why now?! No, I think he genuinely messed up I don't think he was set up. Let's just do Occam's razor, I think he just messed up the guy was out of control You know John when the blood flows down to your penis it is not in your head The guys not thinking and hes like bleh so that why he was upset he crying for himself how could i be such an idiot? I got by into that theory that he was crying for himself I dont think it was a setup Now there could be a setup scenario this is an interesting one

12:39 There is a redistricting that has to take place in New York. It could be a perfect time to eliminate him from the mix I don't see why they would because it's always good to have a congressman, to have a vote That's gonna do whatever you say so like i can't see why Lucifer or Billy Boyd would actually set up No, I wouldn't think they were setting him up. It would have to be the anti-clinton forces then it could be redistricting of New York You know that I looked at the law in New York you have to have a special election if he resigns or dies Or whatever and has to be within like 30 or 40 days But only after the governor calls for it seems too convoluted. I think the guy generally genuinely Just messed just stepped in it yes He did

13:23 did. He's like such a... he had it all going for him! He had Chuck Schumer, and you know okay so your explanation is there was no setup whatsoever? He stepped in it and what unraveled the only reason that he had this going on in the first place because he this was his outlet because he really wasn't this marriage was a sham yes and increases woman he's a beard for this girl who is like basically living with or you know she's living with hillary all the time larry yeah and uh... as the girlfriend as the of lipstick um... totally sick lesbian and uh... and which you know i don't know you not have to go start list the watch out what's that i'll have to be on the send a note of the game news who i was assure which is unfair speech tv in the out people left and right now

14:12 and they love outing people. If Hillary would just come out and say, I'm in love with this woman. And it's a problem because she is a subordinate and she works for me so she is going to resign her post but she is my traveling companion. I love her and she loves me and we make awesome lesbian sex It would be great! There will be no problem! It wouldn't be like yay! It wouldn't happen?

14:54 I mean how stupid is this? At the end of the day, i love the theory but it's so dumb because all you have to do is just admit it. So wait a minute let me get this straight then...so that picture in the war room with Hillary and her hand over her face she was actually smelling her girlfriend? Oh John! oh my goodness you are a horrible man! That is- Sorry! That is the worst! We had female listeners they're all gone now I really feel bad about that. You should miss Mickey because you turn the heat off for me darling Thank you love gotcha you guys yourself heated up Everything except for the fact, I'm gonna now I'm gonna counter this I'm not gonna do it today But I'm going to look into their son. I'm still convinced there's this the Schumer angle but as it now stands your thesis is absolutely The top of on top of the list and there's a lot of people catching onto this and all you have to Do is go back?

Weather Reports and Show Production Quality

The hosts discuss the "June gloom" weather affecting Southern California and compare it to San Francisco temperatures. They reflect on the production quality of recent episodes and the level of listener support for the upcoming Hot Pockets 2008 tour.

southern california· san francisco· june gloom· hot pockets tour

15:49 And Google does have this, 2007-2008. The thing is even before these articles came out and I got a note from one of our producers Southern Bread and I was like you know I remember this name what was going on with this woman? And it hit me now if you google it you've seen all over the place and people are bringing back those articles from 2007 2008. I totally think The New York Times reporting on her being pregnant is just a plant like oh they've consummated the marriage is for real. Bullcrap! Did you see that picture by the way of his boner? Not the one in the boxers? No I didn't, I stopped looking for pictures Okay so you can go to tweetmyboner dot com where I'm keeping a record and if anyone else tweets their boner it'll be on tweet my boner dot com You turn off darling because I might yeah thanks I'm going nuts here Are you still in the RV

16:44 No, no I'm in the crackpot command center. But it was really good we're in June gloom here so I had the...I turned on the heat this morning and like 55 degrees or whatever It's crazy! We haven't had a decent day well we hadn't I'm sorry we've had a couple of decent days but half a year of really kind of low temperatures cloudy not beautiful in Southern California Makes me wonder why I could have stayed in San Francisco. Yeah, it was sunny today. Could've totally enjoyed the same deal. Just take the train! Let's thank some of our producers. I don't think we have many so we can probably just... Yeah well you said it was a gloomy day so we have gloomy input for this show, I'm sorry to say and I am sorry too because we did a lot of work to produce

17:31 You know, the... Is this a sign of things to come for the Hot Pockets 2008 tour? That we're not gonna get a lot of support for it. We'll see what happens. We'll follow this uh... I thought we had a reasonable show! Maybe people don't want to see you. Maybe it was just a crappy show. I thought we did okay Well, I dunno what was remarkable about the show? Umm.. The Hummer. The Berkley Hummer Yeah, and then if it didn't notice a gawker and some other people finally picked up on that so we're leaders But that was just like a debt was just laughable. It wasn't insightful mmm Just ridiculing somebody for having a speech You want anomaly if we go along with our theory? We suck so we better do good today

CHAPTER 06 / 38 Discussion

Executive Producer Credits and Portuguese Economy

The hosts thank executive producers Clancy Childs, Michael Bowling, and Maria Rita Ferrara for their financial support. A letter from Ferrara prompts a discussion about the current state of Lisbon, Portugal, and how the country utilized European Union funds for infrastructure before the looming economic crisis.

Obviously she has been in Berkeley for once in a while

20:22 Rita and we're in Lisbon by the way I would recommend people to take a vacation there. The Portuguese have done a wonderful job of fixing up their country with EU cash, you better hurry up paying them back! You better hurry up before the rioting starts but you can still get a nice vacation in before it all goes to hell or anything like that. Yeah but they are not going to be throwing anything at us No of course not we're no agenda folk That'll be it for this week's producers and we will have a break in the middle of the show with some thank yous from others.

CHAPTER 08 / 38 Discussion

E. Coli Outbreak and Bioengineering Suspicions

The hosts examine the E. coli outbreak in Europe, specifically the Q104 strain, questioning its unique DNA sequences and high toxicity. They cite reports from Natural News suggesting the bacteria's antibiotic resistance may be the result of laboratory-based selective breeding rather than natural evolution.

e. coli· q104 strain· antibiotic resistance· kidney failure· germany

26:15 Well, I wanted to jump into the story. I'll just read a little quote here mainly because we suggested it...I think you suggested it that there's something wonky about the E. coli Yeah, I got a couple clips on that actually Well then play the clip let me play this and let me just read this quote This particular E. coli variation is a member of the Q104 strain and the Q104 strains are almost never normally resistant to antibiotics. In order for them to acquire this resistance, they must be repeatedly exposed to antibiotics in order to provide the mutation pressure that nudges them toward complete

26:55 drug immunity and then they have a list of drugs the this is from the natural news editor himself wrote his article right very interesting piece it talks about how you would do this bioengineering it's not biology genetic engineering this is the old-fashioned way like when your like your breed dogs into this bacteria rather than just put two to strains bacteria together and then put it in someone's mouth well actually No, they don't. The way they do this is you take the strain you're looking for and then you expose it to penicillin and then you see the ones that survive and you take them breed them so there are now penicillin resistant than exposed him to another antibiotic and find the one that lives right and breeded in you do this in a lab but doesn't take that long I might take a year and the next thing you know you've got something that kills everybody

27:39 Basically, so this is linked in the show notes no dinner show calm. It has replaced cyber wars with bio wars Father would be appropriate for the show notes actually it's a 3-1 1 dot any show notes comm two clips about this John one is from an exper an expert a doctor expert and he actually comes out pretty much and says it's well He doesn't say it's a bio weapon, but have a little have again. It's very you know I'm myself. I'm puzzled by this whole thing number one This is the perfect bug we have never seen this bug before this bug has two DNA sequences which are very unique

28:17 You find these isolated by these experts sound great. Don't they doesn't he sound like an expert with that accent? Yeah, you got to have an accent for this the sequences another e coli but to have them two at the same time makes the bug Highly toxic resistant to antibiotic and these things are transmitted to other E colis second the spread, I mean we have over six nations now in Europe with E. coli and this type of E. coli is not only killing people you mentioned 22 but it has rendered over 600 people with kidney failure and once you have kidney failure from E. coli if you survive it that's great but you're going to have a problem that you are going to have for the rest of your life If you survive it then that's great

29:01 Do you tell them don't eat vegetables? Do you tell them wash them and what do you, what advice are you giving? Well listen right now there's no source. Multiple vegetables have been identified but I question the whole thing and I know I'm worried about other motives here behind this E-coli outbreak and that this is something that puzzles me and i have asked many scientists...do you think that this is nature acting in a bioterroristic way or are they any Are there something has since witness nature act in a bioterroristic way unless you're talking about human nature? Yeah, seems to me like the guy hits on it now Russia today and who I'm liking more and more. I have to say God could they could they please get some hot blondes in there my goodness

Russia Today Casting and Media Talent Recruitment

The hosts critique a job posting for Russia Today's Washington D.C. office, suggesting the network should use casting agents rather than traditional job boards. They joke about starting their own consulting firm to find "smart and beautiful" hosts for international news networks.

CHAPTER 10 / 38 Discussion

Psychological Warfare and Social Control Engineering

A consultant on Russia Today argues that the E. coli outbreak and other media-hyped crises like the avian flu and swine flu are forms of psychological warfare. The segment posits that these events are engineered to test social control and manipulate public opinion through cycles of fear and distraction.

psychological warfare· social control· avian flu· swine flu· e. coli

32:21 We'll do that on the side. Maybe looking for some extra money after today's show and yes selling bricks No, bricks boring hot blondes awesome Alright so anyway back to Russia today So they bring this expert on from Buenos Aires. He's a consultant, and this guy is listening to the show I'm convinced of it and this is what I really like in Russia today. No doubt about it however you know one of the points that also alludes to is growing weaknesses in the very structure of the European Union because with all

33:01 legislation with all these controls that Europe is having and actually has on its food supplies, it all of a sudden seems to have a third world contamination crisis which one would not expect to find in Germany or Hamburg. So in a way I insist, we are seeing probably different forces within the EU. Maybe some that don't like the way the European Union is working there are a lot of people around who want to see that the European Union should change some of its ways and in specific cases such as this one could help to drive the point. At the same time it can help to drive Spain towards a growing financial and economic crisis which is already looming very close on its horizon But are you saying also that the media is quick to respond to this, and also push that agenda that you're talking about behind-the-scenes as you say in the European Union? Or do you think it's just another story that the media really would want to hype up It's just another story for scaremongering And that the media is mainly to be responsible for this

34:03 Well, no I think it would be unfair to say the media are directly only responsible for this. However the media do respond to specific powers whether it be their shareholders advertisers or people who actually control the media there is a tendency to push specific stories only one month ago the entire planet was just watching a royal wedding then two days later the alleged killing of Osama bin Laden and now everybody seems to be going hysterical or very concerned about the E. coli outbreak I think what we are seeing is in a way, the engineering of social control so that public opinion can be drawn one way the other way and back-and-forwards all the time even

34:41 observing what the results are because what we are seeing, that's my own personal opinion I must say is psychological warfare developing in front of our eyes on a daily basis and very often we saw this with the avian flu scare of 2005 The swine flu scare of 2009, where all these things were on the verge of creating a terrible problem and then they just completely disappeared from the media. So I often scratch my head when I see stories fully blown in the media and then they just completely disappeared Is somebody making some sort of survey so to speak? Taking conclusions taking data

35:18 and then just leaving that story at that, and going to the next quote unquote crisis. Whether it be of a terrorist or a pandemic or any other type of political economic events." So we don't have to show up anymore John! We just play this clip every Thursday and Sunday... And we're all done. Basically he explained exactly how it works so The psychological warfare angle I like a lot No coincidence I'm sure that we had... Coincidence? I think not! Hair Angela Merkel Show up and receive the Congressional Medal of Freedom from our president. We've got it covered We've got Germany we've got France, uh, we've got our shill who's gonna win the IMF seat by the way Christine Lagarde You see what happened with her Twitter? She changed it from Christine from lagard underscore imf to la guard I guess she would got the message that was a little a little too obvious lady

CHAPTER 11 / 38 Discussion

Angela Merkel and the Eagle Lectern at the White House

German Chancellor Angela Merkel's visit to the White House to receive the Congressional Medal of Freedom is discussed. The hosts comment on President Obama's use of an eagle-shaped lectern and his attempt to speak German during his "Guten Abend" greeting in the Rose Garden.

angela merkel· barack obama· congressional medal of freedom· eagle lectern· guten abend

36:14 So here Angela Merkel was uh, was there with the president? Yeah and what gets me would galled me. The presidents out in the Rose Garden with the With the Gitmo Nation Deutschland peeps And he has this big eagle What's this big eagle script holder have you seen that? No I haven't so he has his little lectern and it's got its huge like tungsten Eagle because you know It's not gold Tungsten Eagle is holding up the script. I have not seen this, I'm not sure if you've noticed it It's really militaristic so its kind of weird Yeah like something from the Third Reich? Yeah exactly! It looks like a third reich eagle And I don't know there was an...I hadn't seen this before and I don't know what message or what it was Then he says something and then he has to wait for someone that translated in German Are you kidding me?! This isn't...this is Germany they speak English in Germany That was really...and then he starts off with

37:10 Good knobbing everybody. He literally did it good nobbing said good nobbin I Didn't I should have clipped it? I'm not know one of the want to hear like him probably find it from Whitehouse dog Maybe he said couldn't talk, but it was literally in his same leg hello everybody. He's a good talk everybody And it was just like, wow really? But then they had to wait for the German guy to... Oh I got the stay informed. Sign up to get periodic updates from President Obama! No thanks go to website. Jeez this is whitehouse dot gov The people's website

37:48 So here, an eagle lectern is a lectern in the shape of an eagle. They are very common in Christian churches and cathedrals The Eagle's symbol used to depict John the Apostle whose writing most clearly witnesses the light and divinity of Christ In art John as presumed author of the gospel and also depicted with an eagle which symbolizes the height he rose in the first chapter of his gospel The tradition of using Eagles shaped lecterns predates the Reformation blah blah blah Here we go, here we go Guten Abend He did say guten abend. Guten abend. Hold on, start over again. Stupid video... These guys are the worst video players at the White House. The White House! Oh yeah. It's like they've- That's because you got your experts, techno experts. Eight million dollar video player here we go. Guten abend everybody. Yeah play. Good evening. Guten abend. Guten abend das ist alte deutsche sprech

38:48 How you doing everybody? Angela? Hair, hair Merkel. Anyway, so there's definitely something going on that's not good. Psychological warfare I think I have to concur where all the interviews by the way with the family members? Where are the hospital shots of people in intensive care and hooked up to dialysis machines Have you seen any of that that that that disturbs me if I don't know I've been watching European TV They're not gonna play it over here anyway well I watch European TV And I haven't seen it there either

CHAPTER 12 / 38 Discussion

Lisa Baron and the Republican Sexpose Book

Former Republican aide Lisa Baron released a book titled "The Life of the Party," detailing her sexual experiences with political figures like Ari Fleischer. The hosts discuss the timing of the book's release and its potential impact on the Republican Party's image.

lisa baron· ari fleischer· the life of the party· republican party· south carolina

39:26 Now, I do want to... there's one little throwback to the Anthony Weiner thing that could possibly be in the mix disturbing The Waters. A new book is out No Agenda Book Club people pay attention. I have not ordered a copy yet This woman she was former Republican aide What's her name? Lisa Barron? What?! Really Nice the audio you doing I got an audio ad on this web page Really? Yeah, yeah listen to him pre-roll audios. Listen Lysol's got you covered that said that they're one of the big advertisers must be pre roll That's interesting. Yeah, that's Ricketts is who does that I think anyway so Lisa Baron released a book

40:18 Coincidentally about headline here sex and drugs rocks the Republican Party as political press tart Bears all in Sexpose book, and she talks about her sex with Ari Fleischer so you know this may have really looked bad for the Republican woman she was a an aid to she was an aide to Ari Fleischer. She's kind of hot Lisa Barron? You know, these women either work for some intelligence agency or not. Typically because otherwise if they didn't they would be shot! Hey baby come on over to my condo I'll put two in your head According to Miss Barron she and Ari Fleischer shared a sexual experience in a hotel room during the 2000 South Carolina presidential primary

41:14 She would, and this is the politics show business for ugly people. Writing about what motivated her to go to Mr Fleischer's hotel room she says, To be able to say I'm with the such-and-such campaign or I work for Senator so and so is to us political junkies what I'm with the band is to Pamela DeBar which of course it totally true And Ari Fleischer no looker not like he's the hottest guy in the world If you can if you want to say visualizing the situation as bad and apparently the sex she had with him there was a porno involved Is even worse kind of visual so what's the name of this book again? Oh crap. I just closed it oh The life of the party but like for the party for the party

CHAPTER 13 / 38 Discussion

Entertainment Tonight vs Extra Media Analysis

The hosts compare the editorial focus of the television programs "Extra" and "Entertainment Tonight" on the same news day. They observe that "Extra" focused heavily on the Anthony Weiner scandal, while "Entertainment Tonight" prioritized news about the British Royal Family and celebrity gossip, suggesting different underlying agendas.

entertainment tonight· extra· mario lopez· british monarchy· celebrity gossip

41:58 So that book just came out to me. And it's targeting Republicans? Targeting Republicans in general, Republican Party so... I'm telling you there is something going on there. We'll get to maybe later but I have two competing Entertainment Tonight type clips I've come to the conclusion that there are actually two schools out there going after each other both intelligence agency based and you said this before hold on a second let's just do the now back to real news all right You've said this before when you believe there's a battle between the CIA and Obama administration. Yes, but I think it is actually that there is a number of these wars going on and they're just these guys going after each other And it's interesting to compare for example the way Extra which I have a clip up on the same day if you look at the stories that were chosen for extra It's almost like they decided They have a completely different audience than entertainment tonight Which has a

43:03 rolls out of almost except for one story about a movie which is obviously bought and paid for all the other entertainment gossip stories are all different they're off on a different, they're attacking somebody else or they bring people to a different fold. And what's kind of disgusting is The Entertainment Tonight fold tends to be oriented toward the British monarchy. So shall we do extra first and then entertainment tonight back to back? I want people to listen to the stories that are in with this is on same day, listening to the stories that are being promoted and it's the same you know these are just teasers which is basically all of show is if... If your not sitting down you may want to because listening to this crap may make you dizzy and nauseous hit it

43:55 It's him, Congressman Weiner falls on the sword. I'd like to make it clear that i have made terrible mistakes The new shirtless shot that forced his tearful confession about sexting six women. I'm deeply sorry for the pain this has caused my wife Huma Should his wife stay? Jen Aniston goes public with her new man Jessica Biel dating bad boy Gerard Butler Scarlett and Sean still together Hollywood's couples mania this weekend. Justin and Mila stirring things up at the X-rated MTV Movie Awards totally platonic. The groping, the cursing, the kissing! Plus Ryan Reynolds and McDreamy on extra rumor control Is Patrick quitting Grey's Anatomy? Then Maria Shriver this weekend hinting at a ceasefire with Arnold And why he was out all weekend wearing his wedding ring

44:48 Cameron Diaz and Justin on shooting their bad teacher sex scene after they're split. Was that not awkward? And Cameron on the A-Rod rumors. If I want to read gossip, I read about somebody else's life. Plus Kerski down 70 pounds on the cougar sex diet! I've been like f***ing with only 20 year olds. Want to do a little in-between here Wow I asked you specifically if I should play him back to back, and I didn't say no Okay, just want to mention something there for one thing. I mean back to back By the way shirtless sexting with six women that's pretty cool That's some that's some good someone wrote some good copy there well There's one thing also he knows that he says falls on the sword you what that means Yes

45:46 That, yeah that means... Falls on the sword isn't to main guilt. Well you're doing that to save someone Yeah! You're doing it to save someone. Yeah To save Hillary So you think... So when he said that, I'm assuming one of two things. One there was some piece of information that Mario Lopez would know all about it. Mario is my expert! Which seems unlikely... Extra extra everybody gets Mario! I think you just misused it That's possible. I mean really, you know i don't mind listening to your entertainment clips but I can't really take it seriously in a conversation so do you want to set up an entertainment clip? Now Amy you heard all those is mostly celebrity gossip and some other book, movie and art promoting MTV movie awards this the same day now entertainment tonight the most watched entertainment news magazine

46:42 Maria in Malibu, her new interview. Anything that promotes peace is terrific and all-new Arnold out and about as Hollywood takes aim at the ex governor. For the first time in the history of MTV Movie Awards, the entire balcony has been fathered by Arnold Schwarzenegger All the highlights from the awards show weekend. Cameron and A-Rod, Sean Penn with Scarlett Aniston's award and this kiss between Pattinson and Lautner plus the best in worst dress Prince William in a top hat, a decked out cage. Their big date plus Pippa pounding the pavement and running shorts and Harry horsing around It's all the royal news in tonight's celebrity GPS Cameron Justin spilling sexy scene secrets from bad teacher We couldn't have done that if we were still wanting what everybody wanted for us

47:33 A sexy Transformers star stripped down. Watch she is number one on Maxim's Hot 100 list. Everybody dance, dance, dance! Kirstie Alley still losing weight and her dancing reunion with Max. Amy Fisher freaking out a Hollywood actresses public implosion I was dead already. I was dead already. Drama and meltdown from the all-new Celebrity Rehab. I'm just exhausted i'm gonna die Now in depth on the biggest entertainment stories from around the world hello and welcome to entertainment tonight. I'm mark Steinitz All right, so no wiener in there was this only is this on the day that he did the conference It was the day it was a date it was after you do the day Basically this one should be produced as about the same time as extra by the way by the way by the way

48:23 Spilling the sexy scene secrets? Pippa pounding the pavement. Oh God, I'd like to see Pippa pound my pavement! So they have a... this is oriented toward the British targeting the Republicans and avoiding targeting any Democrats it's a little more obvious on this show It also got less energy Mario Lopez is the guy who wants some kind of an Eddie like guy who's just up-tempo. Eddie is from the MeVeo office. Eddie would be great! So anyway, here is the deal... Here is another observation you notice that they're using 360 and now they have this one celebrity GPS?

49:03 Yeah. He's kind of using tech terms, bringing tech ideas into the fold as monikers for logos. But GPS? I mean come on! It's for the stupid. John is for the stupid Okay, it's for the stupid. Yes well the stupid or is the majority of them folks and so you would You manipulate your stupid? You got you got problems on your hands So there's two things have really been bothering me this week watching the entire Scala and spectrum of media And then you're right as C-SPAN was totally worthless to apps I mean they had a and I guess Dennis Kucinich his bill

CHAPTER 14 / 38 Discussion

Greek Austerity Protests and Sound Weapons

Massive protests in Athens, Greece, involving tens of thousands of citizens against IMF-imposed austerity measures, are highlighted. The hosts discuss the use of whistles by protesters as a "sound weapon" to irritate authorities and criticize the lack of mainstream American media coverage of the unrest.

greece· athens· syntagma square· austerity· imf

49:42 for the Libyan war resolution got voted out. Yay! There's your representatives, no mention of that by the way I watched about two hours and 17 minutes of testimony and everyone talking and then they have a vote is like shut up it's okay the president can have all the power But the one thing that really, really bothered me is these huge protests in Greece. Not a single... not a single story on any station! And the reason is obvious because- These are riots! Yeah well listen to this report and this by the way is a compromise report. Thousands of Greeks rallied in central Athens on Sunday evening to denounce politicians bankers and tax evaders as the government prepared to inflict another bout of austerity measures

50:33 It follows a day of protests in the main Syntagma Square outside Parliament, where 80 thousand protesters gathered to vent their frustrations over rising unemployment. Protesters have gathered in the square for the last 12 days but Sunday is believed to be biggest rally so far in series of demonstrations Something has to happen so that they go. Our kids are without jobs, what will they do? We are old but what about our children? Things are tough! They have to go so that better days can come." The Greek government would discuss an economic plan which promises several years of extra budget cuts and faster privatizations, each side a deal to get a second financial bailout in a year from the European Union and the IMF

51:20 So this of course is a completely compromised report, but at least it's a report and I love it how they say rallies. It's rallies It's not a riot its rallies and then a rally And then you hear people blowing on a whistle. I'm rallying know what's happening is it's not 80,000 yes by the way so I meant when I was in mid I just wanted this as part what you're saying when I was in Madrid I I'm roaming around with this crew, we're shooting some stuff and they were already having... sorry? You shooting stuff like cans. Yeah no we are shooting a video I'm turning around the corner and then you remember there used to be a movie, The Night of the Triffids. There's this crazy sound they made so i'm hearing this very weird sound and this was one of the pre-riots in Madrid that they're having bigger ones now

52:15 And we turn the corner and there's this huge crowd of people they all have whistles. Yeah, you know police whistles Uh-huh, and they're all blowing them at the same time and it creates an unbelievable noisy racket That is you can't even get close to it because it's extremely irritating So it isn't so it is in effective way? It's a sound weapon as what your son. It's a very good one I've never seen it in this country And it's believe me. It's very effective, and that's what you were hearing in that Greek thing is this is a European thing It's a great great Mickey get the whistle from the emergency kit we have a whistle We have a couple we have a whistle in the emergency One of those one of those red whistles from the Red Cross and the Red Cross Emergency Kit is intended to kill me by the way Oh Mickey bought one of these he's got like an AM radio

53:02 With some batteries. It's got like a couple of food packs, looks like a brick of hash and it's got like some gauze And you know and the juice pack and one mask Yeah One like surgical mask in a whistle and a flashlight that works on kinetic energy and thats it What the hell is the whistle for? To alert people Hello I'm here If only I could reach my whistle I would be saved So of course they're rioting, they are surrounding the Ministry of Finance. I don't think 80 thousand is the right number it looked more like 800 thousand to me in the pictures it's huge and what's happening is for those you who are not keeping up with it

53:44 The government can't pay off their loan, so they need more money. The IMF, the International Monetary Fund i.e., the banks are saying well this is not a good investment you know what we want those beaches now faster quicker and slaves work work austerity she comes Well imagine like a thousand of those things going on. That's good, that's good Here I'll trade you whistle for the coffee Can i have it? I want to annoy John This is a shitty whistle by the way It's a piece of crappy Yeah and you wanted one of the metal ones with the police hat Yeah this isn't shrill enough Yeah no that's not good You'd be thrown out of the ride Yeah he was like hey! Hey you with that crappy plastic clear orange whistle

54:37 Oh my gosh, the Red Cross is out to kill me. Anyway so this is really really bad Juncker who was the president... isn't he the German guy who's in the European Central Bank? He said like well you know what screw them! Screw them they should give us all their stuff and not eat rats This is Greece. This is you know civilization started in Greece ladies and gentlemen You shall eat rat let them eat rats and give us your beaches There's a couple of islands beginning at the end it really really is meanwhile Egypt has just taken a three billion dollar IMF loan Hello, let me just here's Egypt in two months from now They're totally screwed

CHAPTER 15 / 38 Discussion

UN Intervention in Syria and Susan Rice

US Ambassador to the UN Susan Rice's comments regarding a potential vote on Syria are analyzed. The hosts discuss the likelihood of a UN-sanctioned no-fly zone in Syria, following the precedent set in Libya, and criticize the rhetoric of being on the "right side of history."

syria· yemen· susan rice· united nations· libya

55:28 So the other thing that I've been... You need to invest in a whistle company, I'm telling you this is going to be big. Whistle company? That's good idea! NoahJendelWhistles.com Now there is great premium for somebody like we had the coins We should have whistles and someone should do... Have Eric DeShill do them. Nice Shill He was like, we're here to do bricks No were not gonna do bricks Were gonna do whistles So I was getting really worried because as you know, I have my prediction down for Syria being the next The next country that we take over with United Nations and we commit a no-fly zone so Wesley Clark's here that you've absconded Yes. Well No Because it was between Syria or Yemen and We weren't quite sure whether yeah, man your killed the Yemen guy and they'd somebody went off script. Oh

56:21 I'm totally and so whenever I'm watching the news and Syria and Yemen because of course this is brown people in deserts you know that doesn't give you any ideas about going out there and riding at the Federal Reserve like your pictures of Greece would do No, no good. You're right that's a very good point the imagery you don't want to give the American public the Greek imagery because you can see yourself in that situation but you can see yourself standing out in the middle of desert holding an AK-47 with a white thing on going ba la la la la! Can't see it. Ba la la la la la! Now you can see yourself with a whistle and fire the Federal Reserve That's a good image so we're not gonna show that that's why they're not doing is totally controlled

57:04 So I'm getting worried, like oh no please let it be Syria first because I predicted Syria and we know they're both gonna go so it doesn't matter. And then luckily here comes our other douchebagget Susan Rice who was our ambassador to the United Noggins and she comes out and the script is in play I'm most concerned that the United States of America express itself clearly and plainly. We will be on the right side of history as and when this comes to a vote, if others are unable or unwilling too then that will be their responsibility to bear

57:42 I haven't seen much in the way of change. Uh... i think that uh... we heard several council members and in some instances, I would argue disingenuously use Libya as an excuse uh... and as a ploy to avoid the real issues that we are facing in Syria and in some instances elsewhere We had some things in this discussion then I thought to be polite, strained credulity not to mention morality and we will see where a number of council members come out.

58:18 So script in play and she has the same Same stylist as Lucifer Clinton by the way, you know those pants that like the look like You know the the way too wide. The pants are like just nasty Yeah She wears it with like the kind of woolen jackets on top of all the jewelry that rattles around when she moves right? She really makes my blood boil this woman So, uh... It's pretty bad. Yeah so they're gonna- it's gonna come to a vote and the United States will be on the right side of history here ladies and gentlemen! The right side! Now that's your representative representing you American people And your representatives are also there other members of Gitmo Nation They're all out there in the United Nations telling us what to do What I received a lot of John this is little break Since- and by the way kudos to you mon amigo

CHAPTER 16 / 38 Discussion

Jill Abramson and New York Times Leadership

The hosts discuss Jill Abramson's appointment as the first female executive editor of The New York Times. They critique her public speaking style and compare her professional trajectory to that of Katie Couric, questioning the importance of being "personable" in high-level media roles.

jill abramson· new york times· katie couric· executive editor· media personality

59:13 with you picking up on Jill Abramson, with her humming. And I spoke to someone who was actually... Yes? I spoke to someone who has actually been in a meeting with her and it took her half an hour to get to a certain point and this person she'll go unnamed says that she is the absolute worst horrible wicked witch of the west total C word you can imagine She's a horrible human being from someone I trust as a reliable source And who's been in a meeting with her. Yeah, it was being in the meeting and apparently was excruciating for to get to one point and I was like something that didn't even matter

Laugh ears and control when you listen to this one. I feel pride in the girls. You know, I'm proud to be the first woman executive editor I'm proud to be the first woman executive editor. as I was happy to be the first woman Washington Bureau Chief. And you know, I in fact wrote a Week In Review piece when Katie Couric was named anchor and the point of my pieces like when will we get to the point where people aren't fixating on the first woman this or that? You know in some way

1:00:51 She does the sum, but she's dumb bearable. She really is! If we were looking at audition tapes she would not make the cut by the way We're so stupid it's a reality show America's next news shill It's a reality show That's what it is. Thank you, chat room. She's gonna embarrass the operation and she won't last I mean Katie Couric didn't last. She was a big supporter of Katie Couric who i knew immediately wasn't going to make...I mean she lasted five years but she just drubbed the rating. She was always in third place. You know why? Because she's not sexy! Katie Couric has something- I don't think you have to even be sexy yeah you have to have something personable women who aren't sexier also work

CHAPTER 17 / 38 Discussion

US Drone Strikes in Pakistan and Yemen

The escalation of US drone strikes in Northwest Pakistan and Yemen is reported, with five strikes occurring in a single week. The hosts describe the physical characteristics of the drones and the "Hellfire" missiles used, noting the lack of public outcry over the ongoing aerial warfare.

pakistan· yemen· drone strikes· nellis air force base· hellfire missiles

1:02:20 So one other thing that was not covered on the news although. I will give a minor prop to our national treasure PBS paid-for broadcasting system They at least covered some of it. That's a new drone plane oops what'd I do there? I'm sorry, I missed them mess that one up what the paid for broadcasting yeah Okay here we go US drone planes have struck again in northwest Pakistan the fifth time this week Pakistani officials reported a pair of missile strikes launched from drones They killed 23 people said to be suspected militants. The strikes have escalated since the killing of Osama bin Laden Pakistan's government routinely protests the attack and denies that it secretly provides intelligence on the targets Yay! Five drone attacks in Pakistan, you know I think there is a war going on over there

1:03:09 How could this be allowed? It goes on constantly, blowing people up left and right. And the Pakistanis they object yeah because you're killing people! Yeah well it's like whatever they had Pakistani drones flying around Washington DC Really?! Or even in like in the north you know if I even that would not be okay. Yeah in Maine Hey Peshtoire dude, like that's not okay. It's not okay to be flying drones and you don't hear these suckers either. All of a sudden you got like a... I've seen a number reports and i've actually seen these drones. I was at Nellis visiting and they had a bunch of them there because somewhere around Vegas is where they were flying him originally. I think they moved their location

1:03:56 But these things are, they're not that big but they're big. They're the size of a car. Yeah! No they're bigger. They're little bigger than a car. Little bit bigger. Because they have to hold lot of weaponry. Yeah. When they were up at 20 thousand feet you can't see them all. They don't have any reflection I think their painted in certain way and you can't see him at all. And then also he got this hellfire in your butt Yeah, and the next thing you know this missile's down on you. You can't do anything And we're doing the same thing in Yemen I mean there's reports that were doing drones in Yemen These things are a plague It's making me angry! It's a pesky plague! They're gonna be using an American law enforcement That's right We just had this situation which was big news at least on some of the radio talk show guys This poor guy in Stockton

CHAPTER 18 / 38 Discussion

Department of Education SWAT Raid in Stockton

A Stockton man named Kenneth Wright was reportedly dragged from his home in his underwear by a Department of Education SWAT team looking for his estranged wife regarding student loan fraud. The hosts express outrage over the militarization of administrative agencies and the trauma inflicted on Wright's three children during the six-hour ordeal.

stockton· kenneth wright· department of education· student loan fraud· swat team

1:04:46 He's sitting there with... Oh, I have the clip. I have the clip of him! Oh, I want to play that clip as soon as you get to it because this is to me is the most abhorrent Story of the day. Okay, so we I have the setup clip and then I have the clip of the guy play this stuff You know The Stockton man says he was home early morning hours with his three children sleeping when at least a dozen federal agents came crashing through his front door Kenneth Wright says they dragged him out of his house wearing nothing but boxer shorts and handcuffs and ground him into his front lawn before putting him in the back of a police car for six hours

1:05:21 Were they looking for a drug lab or an arms cache? Well, no. These were agents from the US Department of Education searching for evidence of student loan fraud Get out while you can! This is crazy! Department of Education Hey, slave. Have you paid your loan off? Come here I'm gonna take you out and drag ya out in front of your kids." In fact they threw the kids in the cop car as well! Yeah and it wasn't even about this guy or the kids It was about his wife who he hasn't been with for something like a year or so So the guy is priceless And the guys should get his own show Did you see The Guy? No I missed The Guy The Guy's awesome Here we go The Guy Like this...in my underwear

1:06:10 in my underwear and he said put your hands where I can see them. And I said, my hands is right here and he say oh you're a wise guy and grabs me by the neck slamming to the ground they dragged me out of house he puts his hand on him so you ain't scared of guns? I'm just laying there like, I don't even know what's going on. He was like uh-huh and they handcuffed me and they ripped my underwear in the process My boxers is ripped that all i got on are my boxers They put me in a back of police car with my three kids They made us stay for two hours and kept me from 6 to 12 o'clock From six in the morning till twelve fifteen When I got handcuffed I had scars

1:06:48 handcuffs scarf. They had to loosen the handcuffs twice, then they eventually let me take them out and put them around on this side and I was talking to the police officer but six hours! They gave me a piece of paper with my rights on it and said these are your rights am I under arrest? No. So all that and I never get arrested? I'm not even the person you're looking for. I'm not even a person of interest Look at my door. And now you say, you're gonna call my landlord? You say we're gonna call your landlord and let him know so he can get the door fixed. Why?! So you gonna get me kicked out too? What's that... Man!

1:07:26 They say this is because of student loans. So, we ain't got hardly no officers but this is what we got officers for to come tear up people's houses and traumatize their kids and drag them out in the house at 6 o'clock in the morning? Hell yeah my brother! Okay...okay...okay. Guys are right. This guy says he wants an apology blah blah why doesn't this guy go to a lawyer and sue the crap out of these idiots And what is the Department of Education? Why don't they just subpoena the person, what is it... What is the point of busting up the place. What were they gonna do if they found a woman? Because well because it's your government at work and you need to pay off your loan slave It's the Department of Education that apparently somebody signed off on some judge or I guess no They have their own.. They don't even have a... They use one of those administrative systems where they can

1:08:17 Create their own search warrants without going through the normal court system. This is typical of these administrative civil kind of action operations I worked for one and Did you go bust out people's doors? No, we didn't we didn't have that but it seems to me that just one minute away I mean if all these agencies can do that, they could... it was like the Department of Education they called the Stockton Police Department and said we need your SWAT team to go get somebody because they didn't pay their student loan. That's right! And this idiot said the Stockton Police Department which should be liable for this by the way Oh okay whatever you say we don't get a lot of work to do We can call up our SWAT team, we shouldn't even have one in Stockton

1:09:00 and go and bust up the place, and mistreat American citizens. This is pathetic! Now I'll tell you why this man has not gotten a lawyer because the black man in the United States of Gitmo Nation is smart he knows that if he does that his life is effectively over He knows. The man knows and this is a horrible thing to say, but particularly because he's black he has no chance because the police will come and ruin his life if he does that. Ruin his life! Because it's much worse than it appears That's why he's not doing that All he can do is complain

1:09:40 the in the media and it'll be over you know it kind of goes away but he has to unfortunately agree with us that analysis is yeah it's horrible. It's absolutely horrible I feel like driving a stock than buying the guy beer Well, I'll tell you this guy and this whole incident and the Department of Education that idiot that runs it Yeah, they should all be you know. This should be there should we stay at the top of the news But now it's just kind of a joke of a story. Oh Isn't that something D.E., Department of Education with guns What it why isn't this on the front page of The New York Times? Because Huma might be pregnant much more important because it cuz this is why we do this show John, because The media is compromised from beginning to end From front to back Compromised

CHAPTER 19 / 38 Discussion

No Agenda Karma and Carbonite Acquisition News

The hosts share a success story from a listener who received a job offer after a "karmic shout" on the show. They also discuss Carbonite's acquisition of Fanfare and the subsequent cancellation of lifetime backup deals, using it as an example of why the traditional advertising model compromises media integrity.

john little· carbonite· fanfare· advertising model· npr

1:10:35 I'm gonna show my support by donating to No Agenda. Imagine all the people who could do that! Oh yeah, that'd be fab! Now John before we start with thanking a couple of people who helped us out this week on the show There are two quick mentions. I need to make one is from John little now if you'll recall on the previous program John Little who was halfway on the way to knighthood and he said dude, I can't donate I need some karma Things are really really bad We gave him a karmic shout

1:11:13 Here he replies to me dude. I just got a job offer from a place that applied to over a month ago No agenda karma works, please use this to spread the word I just asked you for karma this past weekend You gave it to me and two days later. I have a job holy effing s John little so now I'm just I'm just passing on the message. I don't put I don't claim that we have any special powers But somehow, with a no-agenda audience, this karma thing seems to be good. Now one more thing about the reason why we don't take ads and I think this is kind of an interesting story sent to me by an anonymous producer John did you know about Carbonite's recent acquisition?

1:12:02 No, who? Okay so Carbonite is this backup service that just about every single tech podcast or show and even you know not like CNET as well. You'd expect this to be a CNET store. I've heard Carbonite ads on NPR So they bought Fanfare Now Fanfare is another backup system. However, Fanfare had given all of its customers a lifetime deal. Lifetime deal I think they paid $299 lifetime backup of your stuff so Carbonite bought this company

1:12:39 And they reversed that and they sent a note to all the Fanfare customers and said, uh sorry but this is just gonna end. Now we'll give you your money back but not really in money it'll be credit But we're ending this deal now that we own the company now please go and find for me this story because you will not You will not find it because this is exactly how media works. Carbonite is a huge advertiser, huge! No one will touch this story because they know if they do it, if they make carbonite look bad they'll lose their money. So I think for people who... Classic example. Classic. I think for people who listen to this program and want to understand why we don't have ads

1:13:22 This is this is something you can understand because I know you you listen to technology Podcast and you probably watch C-SPAN. Maybe read David Pogue, I don't care whatever it is classic example Carbonite buys a company the company they bought they start screwing those customers Nobody reports on it and that's just another reason why the advertising model does not work all of media is compromised Now of course our modeling working too great either. But that's a difference sometimes it doesn't work as well as others, but that's because you know what our product probably wasn't good so we have to make the product better and we do our best obviously and hopefully today's program will be better. Hopefully you're still here hello yeah okay I am no I know you are oh I see what your saying I mean the listener So uh we can thank some people though can we not?

CHAPTER 20 / 38 Discussion

CHAPTER 22 / 38 Discussion

Mars Base Discovery and Solar Flare Activity

The hosts discuss a YouTube video claiming to show an amateur astronomer's discovery of a base on Mars. They also note a massive solar flare that occurred on the sun's surface, speculating on its potential to disrupt global satellite communications.

mars base· youtube· solar flare· satellite communications· sun

1:24:53 Yeah, like totally mugging for the camera. And then she does a fake tears thing with her fist and you know turns it right... A couple things. First of all, now we have empirical proof that there is a Mars base on Mars I'm very happy this has showed up on YouTube everyone can see it as you go to the show notes for the show and you can see the moon base that an amateur astronomer has discovered. A moon base on mars? Wouldn't that be a mars base? The mars base i'm sorry but i can hear you protesting because you've seen the video that was not fixed

1:25:41 There's an actual base on Mars. But we've known about this for a long time! Anyway, the prediction I did make and i think this irks you but I made a prediction about a huge solar flare slash storm very soon and boy did we get one in fact I'm amazed were still on the air Shouldn't this be knocking out satellite communications around now? This burst of... I don't know what the t- I was looking it up to figure out what the lag time is between the flare, visually seeing the flare and then having the crap hit the atmosphere. Mmhmmm. I dunno, couldn't find out. Well, I think uh yeah its just interesting and I think I get a check mark in there. Did not get anything from what I could tell No no but we did get the solar flare And its big It was like on the whole surface of the sun

1:26:35 Like one big poop of heat. So I think I get a little check mark next to that in the Little Red Book. So you have no solar flare machine? No! Sorry, no solar flare machine. Miki if I ask you will like answer me won't you? She's giving me that Huma look. She's like punching me in the face with her ring already doesn't even have it on So on Tuesday, this was very nice. I received a call from presidential candidate Gary Johnson and you can find this at garyjohnson.nashownotes.com We did it live It's unedited as we put it up on the stream and had questions from listeners

CHAPTER 23 / 38 Discussion

Gary Johnson on Economic Policy and the IRS

In an interview segment, presidential candidate Gary Johnson outlines his "magic wand" policies, which include eliminating the corporate income tax and the IRS. Johnson advocates for abolishing the Federal Reserve, returning to a gold or commodity-based standard, and balancing the federal budget by 2013.

gary johnson· corporate income tax· irs· federal reserve· gold standard

1:27:31 And I'm gonna, I have two clips. Um...I have a segment now and hopefully we'll have more uh you know i can't wait for the call from Mitt Romney! I'm sure he'll be calling any minute now You know? I can't wait for all of these great candidates but at least Gary Johnson reached out it was really nice you know He's like hey it's Gary that's kind of cool Hey Gary its Adam um so my new segment is hold on to the magic wand So you are now president. What are you gonna do? And I think it's the best question, isn't it? Isn't that what we all want to know from these guys and he has been excluded from the debate on CNN in New Hampshire which is kind of weird You know about this John

1:28:11 Yeah, I do know about it. What are you doing something else aren't you? No no no All right so a magic wand question number one You are now we wave the magic wand Gary Johnson you're our president Johnson We've had one or two of those What are you going to do about our economy? I would eliminate the corporate income tax Recognizing that it is a double-tax and reestablish this country as the only place to start up, grow, nurture business. I think that in and of itself would create tens of millions of jobs. Waving the magic wand? Uh...I would eliminate uh..the IRS. I would eliminate the income tax along with the 17th amendment make sure it doesn't come back And replace it with a fair tax

1:29:01 I would abolish the Federal Reserve so that we could in fact stop printing money and return to a sound currency. And based on the gold standard? Waving a magic wand, I would return our currency to all the gold standards or make the currency commodity-based believing that should be gold and balance the federal budget tomorrow. The Johnson administration would propose a balanced budget for the year 2013, believing that we are on the verge of financial collapse given the fact that there's no way we repay $14 trillion in debt when our ongoing deficit is 1.65 trillion this year next year years to come years past

1:29:59 I'm a free market person, so don't count on me for tariffs. I think there's the magic of the free markets in free markets There are bubbles but i don't think they're as pronounced and when they get corrected I think they get corrected more quickly and they get corrected in ways that are ultimately fair Free top of the hour here at Fox News let's go to our political pundit John C. Dvorak what do you think of that john? Well, I mean all four of the...I really do think this double taxation thing is kind of ludicrous. But yeah, I don't know this guy has been basically taking...yeah they don't want him to run. No kidding!

CHAPTER 24 / 38 Discussion

Pat Buchanan on Mitt Romney and Gary Johnson

The hosts review a clip of Pat Buchanan discussing Mitt Romney's candidacy and the "hole" in the Republican field for a populist conservative. They critique Gary Johnson's lack of "fire" and media savviness compared to figures like Ron Paul or Donald Trump, despite agreeing with his policies.

pat buchanan· mitt romney· gary johnson· ron paul· mormonism

1:30:39 I have a second clip if you want to hear it. Well yeah, we can play that but i'm just going to say...I have a clip this is not..we don't have to play this but I'll just tell you what it is so I'm watching the McLaughlin report and they got Pat Buchanan on there and he's going on and on and he says you know there's a big hole everybody wants kind of Romney to run and then you get these other people but he says there's a big hole in the whole theory If they could find a populist political conservative that was any basically describes Ron Paul And then he never says Ron Paul. Well, let's listen to your clip it'll be nice intermezzo. Who are heavily concentrated in the South and the Bible Belt It is an impediment and was an impediment four years ago to Romney in terms of winning the Republican nomination but if he gets that nomination and then you've got a race between Mitt Romney who is a Mormon and Barack Hussein Obama who's an African-American of the left

1:31:33 the evangelicals and fundamentalists, I think in the South will go strongly for Romney. The GOP greybeards want Romney to lead the ticket correct? Well the Republican establishment would like someone like Romney to lead it and i think Huntsman...I don't think Huntsman's really got a shot right now this time because i think he's eclipsed and also he's a little bit too further left than Romney is but there is a wide open spot inside the republican nomination run for populist conservative tea party candidate with real fire and energy that if you can get one of those out there, that can beat Romney. You see Mormonism blocking Romney? And they drop it

1:32:13 Yeah, I know of course but what's interesting he says something. Here is the problem with Gary Johnson and I told him this in the interview and I told his campaign guy the same thing as said Where's the fire? You know that he talks and I'm like this. He said really really nice guy I think he has some really good ideas. He's very Ron Polish, but he's young he has a you know hot-looking Fiancee he's got a nice family now. He's built a business. He was governor of New Mexico for you know for two full terms You know, so he and he's everything is with him as cost-benefit analysis. Of course He's being marginalized as the pot guy which actually in the interview says yeah people call me the pot guy Yeah, but you know that's a problem. Yeah, he's not media savvy. You gotta get out there. You got to go spit on someone No, you gotta be like Trump

1:33:03 Yeah, exactly. A little more Trump would be warranted and the fact... I said aren't you angry that you're being kept out of these debates? He says yes i'm outraged no no dude you gotta get pissed off! Yes I am outraged! Let's listen to another clip because I like what he is saying and he totally could be my candidate unfortunately He's a member of the Republican Party, which is supposed to give him the benefit of being invited to debates because he's a member of a party. The independents always get screwed. He's not getting the benefit of it and I hate the Republican Party as much as I hate the Democratic Party or any party except the Booze Party

CHAPTER 25 / 38 Discussion

Gary Johnson on Foreign Policy and Homeland Security

Gary Johnson expresses his opposition to the Department of Homeland Security and the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Libya. He argues for an immediate withdrawal of troops and criticizes the lack of congressional authorization for the intervention in Libya.

gary johnson· department of homeland security· iraq war· afghanistan· libya

1:33:46 and the pirate party. But here he is holding the magic wand again, future president Gary Johnson. Keep holding on to the magic wand because I have another one for you The biggest expenditure by far is what American taxpayers spend on military and this new concept of homeland security What would you change or do about that? I would have never established the Department of Homeland Security in the first place. I think that it's very duplicative and what it does, bottom line is that it does not make things any safer and that it certainly makes life more intrusive so that would have never happened from the get-go So I would look to be unwinding that

1:34:35 in as many ways as possible, returning those functions or giving those functions back to where they probably lie first middle and last place anyway without the Department of Homeland Security. I would have never gotten into Iraq from the beginning. I went on record. I said number one there's no military threat from Iraq If there is weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, I think we have the military surveillance capability to see them roll out any weapons of mass destruction and that we could go in and deal with that situation. I thought if we went into Iraq, we would find ourselves in a civil war to which there would be no end

1:35:20 Afghanistan, I thought initially was totally warranted. That's what we have a military for We were attacked, we attacked back and after being in Afghanistan for six months... ...We had effectively taken out Al-Qaeda! That was ten years ago We're building roads, schools, bridges, highways and hospitals in Iraq and Afghanistan. And don't we have those same needs here in this country? Worse yet is the fact that men and servicewomen are continuing to lose their lives in these locales. Let's get out of Iraq and Afghanistan tomorrow! And for all the debates and discussion that would be warranted about what might or might not happen getting out

1:36:08 I just suggest we'll have those same concerns 25 years from now, if that's when we finally decide to get out. Libya! When we went into Libya, I issued a statement immediately opposing what we were doing in Libya A through Z. Where was the military threat for starters? Where was the congressional authorization to go into Libya Where is it in the Constitution that says that because we don't like a foreign leader, we should go in and topple that foreign leader? Have we not interjected ourselves into a civil war?

1:36:45 Doesn't our intervention here, isn't it warranted in about five other countries in the Middle East right now? Yeah so you point the exact problem out. What?! No you point the exact problem out! This is why I like doing these interviews...I just let the guy talk and don't interrupt him but he's unless he starts becoming a hummer to protect himself from being interrupted He's never gonna get his message out ever! He should go work for The New York Times Yeah, and learn how to hum. It's really unfortunate because the guy makes so much sense you know I like what he is saying but he needs some training like to go out there and say hey! You scumbags all of ya

1:37:28 You can't do it. Guys like that don't have the personality for it and they can't manage to do it, they'll have a million psychological reasons that they can't bring themselves to do that because... You think its psychological? And by the way this is the exact reason why he's not on the debate because it's no good television! He's gonna bore everyone to death That's the exact problem. Yeah, you may have hit it that may be the real reason not as politics. It is not his politics! It is his entertainment value there he has no entertainment value hello yeah exactly check the calendar yeah I'm gonna call him and say dude your boring that's what I should've just said excuse me Gary you're boring this is the problem you're boring you're boring you're boring you got to hype it up you got the right message but your delivery sucks

CHAPTER 26 / 38 Discussion

Media Coaching and the Ryan Stiles Comparison

The hosts discuss the necessity of media coaching for political candidates, noting that Barack Obama was successfully coached to overcome a "dull" professorial tone. They jokingly compare Gary Johnson's physical appearance to comedian Ryan Stiles from "Whose Line Is It Anyway?"

gary johnson· ryan stiles· media coaching· barack obama· whose line is it anyway

1:38:12 It's not going to change anything. When you get to a certain age, you either have that gene or you don't. Oh, that's horrible! He's a wonk. You know he was probably really good at policy Well it's really sad I hate that It's the way it is. He's good at policy but he's never gonna get in there? No, of course not. Now what the public wants you gotta remember they just play that very beginning of extra with that rrrr. It's winding up to get everyone excited when a Mario Lopez personality Yeah or Eddie Hey wouldn't I'd take Mario Lopez as my president Everybody we got Angelina Jolie in the White House today yeah

1:38:55 That's too bad. It's really too bad nice guys finish last proof is in the pudding well I don't know that it would be a task I think that you don't think we could do some media coaching and we could make it work for him no mm-hmm because this is because Ron Paul has the fire, but then he goes into his media fire makes him kooky You're right. Well, he doesn't do it right I mean that's the same thing these other guys are good Obama apparently was coached because... Apparently? If you read the early reports, especially that article I think in The New Yorker where they said the guy was like so dull he would sound like a professor and he still drops into that if you watch him now at his press conference. I know! And then it gets real long-winded and repeats himself and he's slow talking. Constitutional... Professor

1:39:50 But he was coached, but he was amenable. Some people are amenable to it some people aren't I don't can see... I see very few somebody of a politician they gotta be full themselves to get that job in the first place They're not gonna be amenable being coached It's like coaching a great basketball star. He says, look I'm so great... I don't know. I'll tell you what I am going to do. I am going to offer my services to coach this guy. I think we can do it. Yeah. I think it is absolutely possible. It's not! Well thanks for trying to save the country

1:40:31 Not able he's not he's a good-looking guy. He looks pretty good It looks like what does he let's a good point? Yes, nothing a visually doesn't come to me. He looks like that comedian from Now well this is the great no it's great. He looks like that comedian That's on what's my line the tall kind of thing I know God what a callback Well whose line is it anyway? I'm sorry whose line is anyway the one with Drew Carey and Are you consulting the book of knowledge? I'm looking at the Google Book of Knowledge. No, no... You have to consult the actual book of knowledge. What's the name of that comedian? This is Firefox now it goes not respond this is firefox there comes when you look for images just a mess

1:41:18 I know, but if you... Ryan Stiles. Go under the book of knowledge and refer him! I'm going as fast as i can- oh that guy Now look at now this is great now look at Ryan Stiles This is fantastic we can put Ryan Stiles in This is great! You know I have seen this guy Johnson on some, uh... On Fox I think. Please Google Ryan Stiles right now He's actually not a... Go look at Ryan Stiles Yeah yeah yeah I'm looking, geez I've got the whole concept We have Johnson he's got the message but then whenever there's debate we bring Ryan Stiles in He can read the script The guy is genius

1:42:01 Oh this guy, Brian Stiles the Canadian guy. Yeah doesn't he look just like him? He looks enough like it that you could probably slip him in! Except for the Canadian accent, hey he's gonna talk a little like this... No no no no no no no no no he can do it. Dude the guy is a brilliant comedian. He does impromptu off-the-cuff stand up. The guys amazing. He could do it Well anyway we could coach him. Just put them in. We got two Obamas why can't we fight with to Gary Johnsons Would know no I've heard Gary Johnson on some things and he definitely is the policies are dynamite policies dynamite unfortunately Well, hey by the way John it's official. Did you know that Osama bin Laden is dead says who says wolf blitzer and al-qaeda? well Wolf the video about 30 minutes long is the first from Ayman Al Zawahiri since the death of Osama Bin Laden

CHAPTER 27 / 38 Discussion

Ayman al-Zawahiri Video and Pork-Coated Bullets

A new video from Ayman al-Zawahiri confirms the death of Osama bin Laden and pledges support to the Taliban. The hosts also discuss a "Mother Jones" story about a company selling gun lubricant made from pork fat, intended to deny Muslim targets entry into paradise.

ayman al-zawahiri· osama bin laden· al-qaeda· wolf blitzer· pork fat

1:43:05 The video is in large part a tribute to Osama Bin Laden. He went to his God martyred because he said no to America. Ayman al-Zawahiri does not proclaim himself bin Laden's successor, but with the tape appears to be positioning himself. He wants to show to the Al Qaeda membership around the world and their supporters that he is the paramount leader of Al Qaeda, that he is the one delivering the eulogy for Osama bin Laden In the video, Zawahiri cheers on the uprisings in Libya, Syria and Yemen. They need to continue their struggle, their rage and their sacrifices. Al Qaeda doesn't like these movements but they recognize that we have no option but say if you want to be relevant then stick with the population. And the population has spoken so let's pretend like were with them

1:43:54 In the tape, Zawahiri pledges support to Mullah Omar, the head of the Taliban. Urges the Muslim masses to rise up against what he calls a treacherous Pakistani regime and he makes repeated but unspecific threats against the US. I call for jihad my beloved people to fight those who fight Islam Since the raid that killed bin Laden U.S counter-terrorism officials have assumed Zawahiri was in deep hiding afraid for his safety Analysts believe he must have been very anxious to be seen and heard because releasing this video involved risks. For instance, using a courier like the one that led the US... Here it comes!

1:44:37 Intelligence analysts have poured over previous Al-Qaeda videos trying to determine where they were taped. This video does not provide any obvious clues, the background is pretty nondescript. I guess it's official confirmation now more confirmation from Al Qaeda now from Ayman al Zawahiri himself that bin Laden is dead. Douchebag! Well like I guess that whole stupid video that we did this proof official confirmation its official seal approval. Wolf Blitzer says he's dead So I, that guy what's his name? Zakari whatever his name is. He said he could become a martyr but not according to all the forums because Osama Bin Laden was shot with a pork bullet. What?! A pork bullet!

1:45:23 Look here, here's the search you want. Pig fat gun lube, pig fat gun lube Osama and you'll see all the stories apparently there is a company in there I think they're in that Midwest someplace and they sell a gun lubricant that is made from pork fat and a number of the US military using this to lube up their guns because then the bullet picks up just enough trace elements of the pork fat to negate any possibility that a Muslim extremist Islamists will go to heaven. This is actually, this is a Mother Jones story! Did a Navy SEAL kill Osama Bin Laden with a pork coated bullet thus denying him entrance to paradise? This highly unlikely claim coming from a shady website selling gun lubricants that it guarantees to be 13% USDA liquefied pig fat America's secret weapon

1:46:15 Hey, you Muslim terrorist over there. I'm gonna shoot you with some pig fat! Squirrel! Look out! That's the stupidest thing i've ever seen. Ah! Really? And it made it to Mother Jones nice that's really really nice unbelievable so Osama got uh he's not up there He has no virgins. Not with the virgins or with the Virginians whoever they are The whole thing is just abhorrent everything The whole thing. And here's... So you know what is supposed to happen? We're supposed to pull out a poppy stand next month and the original promise was 100,000 troops will come home Hello everybody! President Obama here I'm going to talk about troop withdrawal in this interview We are not going to do anything precipitous but what i've already said to the American public

CHAPTER 28 / 38 Discussion

Afghanistan Troop Withdrawal and the UNESCO Pipeline

President Obama's upcoming decision on troop withdrawal levels in Afghanistan is discussed alongside a video conference with President Hamid Karzai. The hosts suggest the slow withdrawal is tied to the "UNESCO pipeline" and criticize the appointment of Ambassador Crocker as a new "shill" for the administration.

afghanistan· barack obama· hamid karzai· ambassador crocker· unesco pipeline

1:47:15 And what I've said to the Afghan people is that it's time for the Afghans now to take responsibility for their own security. When did you actually hear him say, hello Afghan people! It's time for you take responsibility for your actions? We are training their security forces up that transition will take place over the next couple of years but By killing Bin Laden, by blunting the momentum of the Taliban we have now accomplished a lot of what we set out to accomplish 10 years ago. Mr Obama also spoke with Afghan President Hamid Karzai today for an hour-by video conference. Skype no doubt! Where did you get this clip? This is... I don't know. It was... I don't know

1:48:08 I'm sorry, i don't know. Make his decision about the size of the initial US pullout later this month For his part, Ambassador Crocker cautioned today against moving too fast. See they brought the new shill in this crocker, this crocker thing dude and he's his job is to say oh no we can't pull out a hundred thousand you know we haven't trained Afghan troops who cares please please We could have been training these guys since they're 10 years old how long does it take to train somebody? How long does it take what what isn't the total length of army boot camp So, they said for 8 weeks... 8 weeks. 8 weeks is boot camp?

1:48:57 Yeah, well you know. Are they that dumb? Is that what we're saying? We're saying Afghanis are dumb?! I mean what is the subtext here? Well...I mean you and i both know it has nothing to do with security It's all about the UNESCO pipeline. Oh! I'm sorry What am I thinking? Yeah please No but its uh..and so you just watch next month The presidents gonna say With this Crocker guy The new shill whose in Who we discussed Part of the shadow puppet theater Oh no They aren't ready yet No he will take out What did I predict 5000 You watch 5000 and then it'll be non-combat troops. It's stupid, the whole thing! We're going down the tubes! We really are! It is scary...

CHAPTER 29 / 38 Discussion

IATA Checkpoint Scanning and Libya Bombing

The International Air Transport Association (IATA) is promoting a new "known traveler" screening system that uses pre-screening and enhanced security lanes. Meanwhile, heavy bombing continues in Tripoli, Libya, despite President Obama's earlier claims that the transition would take days rather than weeks.

iata· global entry· facial recognition· tripoli· muammar gaddafi

1:49:39 It's scary. But that's okay because we're safe at home with the new scanning technologies, John! Have you seen this video of the new scanner? The IATA is a... No, no, I've heard about it and have not seen it. Yeah well okay you can't see now but you can listen to the video its just as exciting. The checkpoint consists of two parts. The first part is passenger pre-screening thats done by governments and thats aided by the creation of a knowin' traveler type system they are common If you're in the Netherlands, you may know it as the Peruvian system. If you live in the United States, its called global entry but these are traveling solutions where in exchange for passenger information, the passengers allowed a faster travel experience and then what we do is create an enhanced security lane

1:50:24 to take the 3-9% of passengers that get enhanced screening every day at all of our airports and move them out on the main line. And I think every passenger is familiar with what happens with an enhanced screening program when they see it at the airport, a security screener will shout move to left, move out of the line there's going to be rapid scramble for bags and the line is going to come to complete stop You walk through you keep your stride. You're able to carry your bags with you and drag your trolleys behind you as well And shut up slave and give us your information It's really unbelievable what's going on so now? You'd be the known traveler system it'll be everywhere John is part of the national ID Known traveler, you know it's okay. Your known

1:51:11 We got all your info, you're known. We've got your facial recognition on Facebook Do you see that thing? Have you paid your student loan?! Yeah! Sorry you can't travel. You can't travel, your student loan has not been paid That's right Heaviest bombing in weeks in Tripoli Libya Wait a minute Are you telling me they're bombing the- I thought it was just a no fly zone. Well let's hear what the president said on March 21st, 2011. Let me see... March 1st April 21st one month May 21st two months June we're why were almost three months John am i miscalculating? March, April, May Seems like about three months Almost three months yeah let's see It is US policy that Gaddafi needs to go but let me emphasize that

1:52:06 Anticipate this transition to take place in a matter of days and not a matter of weeks. Well, to be honest Matter of days not weeks he didn't say months so it'd be honest you know He was he was kind of smart about that He didn't say my was really saying is not the matter of days Not weeks but a matter of days and maybe months months day a lot of days 90 days You know where's my whistle? We gotta start whistling people. You know what John, I think you really hit upon something no agenda whistles is a great idea and we're not calling people out we're whistling at ya. Yeah nice good metal police whistle those things are great the ones that everybody in the pool girl uses you know? Pool girl. No roughhousing! Whistle around her neck

CHAPTER 30 / 38 Discussion

Job Numbers, Facebook Facial Recognition, and Privacy

The hosts discuss recent US job numbers, noting that many new positions were created by McDonald's. They also warn listeners about Facebook's new automatic facial recognition and auto-tagging features, sharing an anecdote about a user whose account was shut down due to these privacy-invading technologies.

mcdonald's· facebook· facial recognition· auto-tagging· privacy

1:52:56 She's coordinating activities on the boat. I don't have a clip of this but the president also said maybe that was in his weekly address, we can live the American dream! What were the job numbers? We had 54,000 new... By the way the number of people entering the job market on a month-to-month basis based on population is 150,000. Right so there are 54 thousand new jobs which means we're down 100 thousand right there half of those were created by McDonald's

1:53:37 That's your American dream, ladies and gentlemen. Would you like fries with that? Oh my goodness! Upsell for an extra 25 cents. Yeah I can supersize you large. I can super size ya no problem You know that's what i'm doing all day. I'm supersizing people No let's be preoccupied but looking at a congressman's penis Nice. Weiner Yeah, hey and everyone get off of Facebook now because this facial recognition stuff that is probably already in place is bad It's gonna auto tag you get off and please if you have a picture me on Facebook take it off Just take it up your I don't know what I can tell you the story No come on Tell Me A friend of mine friend of yours as well Was running two Facebook profiles

1:54:28 One for this person's job and one is their actual personal thing. And this person got tagged, auto-tagged in a picture as the other person and so they closed down the work profile and then the only way you can open it up if if you scan and email an official government ID with your name on it to Facebook. No way! Hold on a second... Oh yes sir oh yes sir You cannot because it's against the rules to have a fake name on Facebook. Oh really? Yeah, yeah it's against... read the terms of service they change every day Why is there a fake John Dvorak Facebook page Well you can tag him and his profile will get shut down I'll leave it there It's better that way trust me Yeah no I'm just leaving it there But this person was using that Facebook page for business

1:55:20 for real business and it got shut down, and this person has no way to have it reopened because it was under a name that is not this person's real name. And this person does not have an official government ID. I can't believe people use this product! Yeah well yeah... It's so sad because I HAVE TO USE IT because it's the only way I can communicate with my daughter for some reason. It's like Facebook you know she has a Tumblr and she has all kinds of other stuff and she hates Facebook But if you know all her friends are there is like, you know It's all the slaves are happy there and she her profile gets deleted all the time You know for offending photographic material. Well at least she keeps up with the old man. Hey

1:56:02 Easy does it there so yeah, no I find it is the abhorrent that you have this situation and every single person don't use Facebook And and I know what's gonna happen one day Mickey space book is gonna get deleted. It's gonna be a huge problem because It's just going to be a problem, and she's gonna be very very sad very very very sad, and it's gonna be a sad day And I hate, and every day I hate looking...I know what's gonna happen. Because we've been through this! We're old enough to know! And now you get this automatic facial recognition? Please, it frightens me!"

CHAPTER 31 / 38 Discussion

Spying via Social Media and Qatar Perspectives

The discussion continues on how intelligence agencies use auto-tagging on social media for due diligence and spying. John Dvorak shares insights from a dinner with individuals from Qatar (pronounced "Cutter") regarding Middle Eastern political perspectives and cultural identity.

facebook· flickr· spying· qatar· lebanon

1:56:40 So what was the point of this automatic facial recognition? It's actually, the point of it was exactly what you described. Yeah! To thin the herd. Auto tag. Yeah auto tag and then oh wait a minute so... If your an intelligence agency and you want to find people let's take I always use these systems for due diligence so i wanna find all the pictures I can if somebody im gonna meet. So go on Flickr and search for them but if I have auto-tagged I'll find them in pictures where they're not tagged That's right There's a lot of pictures that we were you know, you'd a lot of people just post stuff. They never tag it They never say who's in the picture and now if you can auto-tag with facial recognition now I can find all the pictures of you Uh-huh? Oh yeah It's very valuable if you're doing if your good spying on somebody So why do people just climb on board? I don't get it cuz they're stupid. I hate to say it but

1:57:37 You know that's why we're doomed forever to do this for lunch money because the majority of people who are awake and with the program and listen to the show is small. Very, very small. Yeah you wake up a person now and again but most of people are like, you guys are crazy! Yeah nut jobs... just crazy. I had dinner last night with three guys from Qatar Really? Oh were supposed to say Cutter Yeah, Qatar. That's what they pronounce it by the way is really the guys from Qatar pronounced at cutter yeah crazy jokes on me whoops who knew all right but they live there and then say Brawl say cutter and that you know The Middle Easterners are and the people from that area They don't like to do people in Lebanon do not like to consider themselves middle easterners I didn't realize that they're adamant about it

1:58:32 But they that's all they do is talk about this sort of thing constantly the whole the culture down in that whole area is just to discuss political things from a perspective of like you know, You don't know the whole story. Mm-hmm and so we had I didn't get any good stuff from him unfortunately They talk a big talk but they got nothing as that way Nothing here listen to me Well, it's funny because I think you received this as well. There was a program and I think we should listen to this because there is a guy who has a book out called... This is from the BBC thing? I know you received that as well John. Where do I have the clip? I just want to set up properly. Well of course I can't find offhand

CHAPTER 32 / 38 Discussion

BBC Conspiracy Theory Analysis and Toxic Distrust

A BBC Radio 4 program featuring an author discussing the psychology of conspiracy theorists is critiqued. The hosts mock the author's use of terms like "toxic distrust" and "radicalized," arguing that distrusting the media and government is a logical response to current events.

bbc· conspiracy theories· 9/11 truthers· radicalization· cognitive dissonance

1:59:18 so it's a BBC program radio for this guy has written a book about conspiracy theories and theorists in the United States we listen to the guys uh... it's about four minutes but by the way this is a podcast from the baby says download from the BBC download another podcast more visit bbc.co.uk slash radio 4 I would say only a small minority had mental health difficulties maybe by the way we are mental health difficulties one or two percent most of them it was a political and social phenomenon it was toxic distrust of public institutions and they had been radicalized over the internet were through political propaganda but they did not for the most part have clinical mental health issues

2:00:02 You focus a lot of the book on the truthers, the ones who believe that 9-11 didn't happen in ways commonly described. It was some conspiracy don't you? Yes! In fact originally my book was just going to be about 9-11 truth activists These are folks who as you say believed that 9-11 was an inside job by the Bush government. But what I found was that when I interviewed these people, they embraced a whole bunch of other conspiracy theories and it became clear to me that conspiracism had become sort of a creed for these people and it wasn't just about 9-11. It's a religion is what it is! It's about all society Well give us the psychology. By the way do you hear the edits going back and forth from the interview? Oh, they're edited. Totally! And then questions are put in later... it's abhorrent this. What is it in the head that drives otherwise sane people to believe weird and wacky things? Alright we- This is so lovely It's definitely something wrong with my head. There's a checklist coming up John You can tick them off

2:00:59 Well, as I say the universal aspect is distrust. Distrust of government, distrust of media, distrust of organized religion in many cases, distrust of all public institutions and societies. Yes! This book is for me! But I also think that there is an impulse to align ideology with facts They want to make the world as they imagine it appear like the world as it is So for instance in a case of 9-11 conspiracy theorist. In some cases he might be a very left-wing ideologue who believes that all evil originates with the United States Then when 9-11 happened which was evil perpetrated against the United States he suffered cognitive dissonance because reality This is bulk I mean we can play the whole thing, but no it's okay. No III just want to point a couple memes He uses radicalized yep. He says toxic distrust opposed to a distrust and his office don't trust government And they shouldn't

2:01:57 But this is a but he can't say that he never says it by the way here everything any distrusting of anything is toxic Which is bullshit, and then he also says he uses the term otherwise sane Yeah, so well Adam I really like that analysis of you otherwise sane. And then he uses the old trick of the checklist plus... The non-inclusive listing plus an inclusive at the end kind of a catch all and it goes like this It's a distrust of media which we argue in is logical and it's true A distrust of government which is You shouldn't trust the government? You never should

2:02:35 distrust of religion we have all these scandals and all these religious things going on scammers and and pedophiles in the rest of it. And then, the fourth one is the bombshell which is the distrust of ALL! This is the word ALL! Which means you did everything which is just to say get you into this like well well whoa that can't be good yeah this guy is a douche bag double-bag everybody good morning the morning to you double bagger so talking about douche bags who you got Liberty County Sheriff's Office in Texas yeah

CHAPTER 33 / 38 Discussion

Texas Psychic Hoax and Media Credibility

A major news story about a mass grave in Liberty County, Texas, turned out to be a hoax triggered by a tip from a psychic. The hosts use this as an example of media failure and lack of due diligence, as initial reports claimed 25-30 bodies had been discovered before the FBI found no evidence of a crime.

liberty county· texas· psychic· fbi· mass murder hoax

2:03:20 So apparently, this is a big story. In fact when it was breaking Fox had it on their news coverage and you sounds like there's actually some reporting going on here I have a clip It's the Fox Texas fiasco Yeah play the fiasco clip summarize. to go through that home. The FBI says it is offering its help, Fox News is continuing to follow this story throughout the evening at this point the Liberty County Sheriff's Department is saying that they have no evidence of deceased persons at this point despite the initial reports of 25-30 bodies discovered they did get a tip told them about this location but did not elaborate we'll have updates

2:04:26 You know, I hate to tell you. So by the way this relates to distrust of the media Yeah Okay They already said there's a 30 bodies and they're reporting all this bullcrap. You know what? This story is about apparently son And there's a Reuters story on it that now the police are after the tipster somebody who claimed to be a psychic Call the police department and who obviously there's some grudge against this person, and they said there's a bunch of dead bodies in this guy's backyard. And they went on about it the police department waltzed it over to some judge search warrant is some judge who says oh a psychic well sure signed off here's the warrant

2:05:07 Here's your warrant people. This is how much due diligence we do here What was it? Was it a male psychic or female psychic, you know kind of thing Oh, okay Did they spell it right yeah, yes I kick psychic see psychic They go out there and dig the shit that just really this guy's place up I don't know. This is unbelievable. Unfortunately, i'm very worried that this is a pedophilia cover-up from the elites and if we don't hear anything about it anymore then my suspicion only grows well It's a possibility but i'll tell you this We have no idea what the hell's going on because of media distrust in the media! We're not getting the story The psychic thing could be total bullcrap

2:05:48 or not but the right now we don't all we know is a psychic called by that i can believe they make themselves look this stupid with them with the cover story that involved the psychic so i mean the whole thing is a mess and this is texas so uh... from the chat room i get to discovery news as psychic fiasco texas mass murder raid of hoax so here's your distrust in media police investigated it all turned out to be a false alarm there were no dead bodies the psychic was wrong or lying There you go. We fell for it, we even discussed it for three seconds. But meanwhile we have that other guy on his conspiracy theories and God knows we have distrust of the media! We can't have that! No The guys... That person may be this rich ridiculous if he wasn't I don't even want to go into it Umm.. I'm done. I've got two quick clips one to cheer you up no actually online

CHAPTER 34 / 38 Discussion

James Carville and Potential Civil Unrest

Political consultant James Carville warns of potential civil unrest in the United States due to long-term unemployment. The hosts agree with this assessment, linking it back to their earlier analysis of why protests in Greece and Spain are not being shown on American television.

james carville· unemployment· civil unrest· greece· spain

2:06:50 They're both gonna bum you up. James Carville, who I actually like... Was he not the campaign manager for Clinton? Yeah, The Flasher! The Flasher? He's a flasher. Really? Like he flashes his naked penis to women? Yeah, yeah! What do you mean?! I missed this... You didn't know this!? No! He's a flasher?? It was discussed in the book about the uh... Red White and Blue and then it was in that movie they had it in the movie They didn't show him. I never saw that movie The movie has him constantly flashing and people going up to them saying stop it Dude stop flash- really? He's a flasher? That's outrageous

2:07:29 Well now the clip is like, now it's no good. You've ruined his credibility with me! Carvels on I don't know some some stupid Fox show. They're all stupid But I do think the guy has his has his finger on the pulse of what's going on He seems to be a straight shooter except for the flashing bit when they shoot straight there, too Here's what he has to say about what we can look forward to Oops Sorry taking a pay cut in the last year Yeah, I mean you can have if your 50 years old and your your provider Providing for your family and you've been out of work for a year and a half You're not you're good. You're not the same person this is this is to tragedy of unemployment I'm a significant like that in another dump there's not much even if the economy comes back The prospects have a lot of people find a job are not good they're blaming God

2:08:27 No, look. People... this is again a humanitarian and you're small enough to see this and people if it continues we're going to start seeing some civil unrest in this country I hate to say that but i think its eminently possible Right, civil unrest? I hope so It's about time. I think it is obvious that it will happen. That's why they are not showing Greece on the television. Right, because you're dead-on on the Greece analysis. That is the reason they won't show Spain but all sit ins but this is sitting on the ground exactly but the whistling stuff that's great we need to propagate the whistles yeah there were you know I didn't think about thank you until you witnessed it until he actually saw it happen and you have a little more it's at night of the triffids I thinks in a minute refugees because I'm talking I said this what are they filming a movie around here for this crazy sound it sounds like a lot of like a million locust or something and then you turn the corner when you get hit with a full blast oh my god

Haiti Earthquake Death Toll Revision and Luxury Hotels

A USAID report has significantly revised the estimated death toll of the 2010 Haiti earthquake downward. The hosts also criticize the Bush-Clinton Haiti Fund for reportedly financing a luxury boutique hotel, the Oasis Haiti, intended for elites and aid workers rather than the displaced population.

2:09:31 It is really annoying. So I'd like to remind everybody just briefly John and I have promised each other that we play more of these clips that we pick up along the way when the horrible earthquake happened in Haiti What took place was an amazing turn of events where President Obama asked former presidents Bush and Clinton To ask for money And here's what they said. We just need cash I know a lot of people want to send blankets or water, just send your cash and President Bush even took it a little further shysters show up and take advantage of people's goodwill and generosity So now i'm listening to one my favorite radio shows called Black Agenda Radio which is kind of cool because we have no agenda their black agenda

2:10:20 and there was a new report I don't think we talked about on the show about the number of dead in Haiti and these guys they just nail it. USAID just recently as you said issued a report that revised down the number killed in the earthquake from between 200,000 to 250,000 to between 46,000 and 84,000 people The report was commissioned by USAID althea strategies which is an international development business consulting firm to writer report that's actually officially titled building assessments in rebel removal and quick effective neighborhoods in haiti the major author of the court is academic by the name of timothy schwartz who is currently writing a book called great murder and voodoo on the island at the damned which he claims as a title about article

2:11:12 on Haiti that appeared in the UK telegram just days after the quake in 2010 and he's already published another book called Travesty In Haiti, a true account of Christian missions, orphanages fraud food aid and drug trafficking. So you have a sense that Dr. Schwartz has an eye for the sensationalist headline he says that he personally has no intellectual interest in how many people were killed in the earthquake, whether it's 60 thousand or 200 thousand. It is still a huge number but as we all know there is history of numbers being used against black people obviously when it came to the slave trade people always want to revise that number down and say that slavery wasn't

2:11:52 that of the idea he can't in delmas and another areas of poor prince by the at the mayor of delmas using comex a country paramilitary and at the same time well i dp camps are being destroyed and uh... the homeless near quaker being doubly displaced we've seen the clinton bush eighty fund prompted money to find that the lovely always has had a and uh... i think it would have up to ten villages uh... luxury

2:12:35 boutique hotel that's going to be housing Haiti's elite as well as aid workers beneath the Oasis Haiti. That's where we got a book our next vacation, John. Unbelievable oasis. Hey, the Bush Clinton Foundation funding The Boutique Hotel Oasis Haiti just send us your cash comped don't send this comped. We'll even get a limo from the airport Oh, absolutely. The limo from the airport we have to get there we have to find some way got to get some comp air ride yeah well we have to get one of the oil jets like they had sweet pinky martelli on those guys aren't gonna compass I don't think I think what the airliners might mmm fantastic just beautiful just as we predicted by the way yes and and a tea and i've been harping on it for years now and by the way how do you feel now about texting that money

CDC Studies, Hand-Foot-Mouth Disease, and Alzheimer's

The hosts review various health-related headlines, including a CDC study on high school students and an outbreak of hand-foot-mouth disease (Coxsackie virus) in Ho Chi Minh City. They also express skepticism toward a new brain scan that claims to predict Alzheimer's disease a decade in advance.

2:13:33 Then how about you stupid idiots, that entertainment drones who did that whole, oh save Haiti. I don't even know if Sean Penn is still there or not? They had some pictures of him on Entertainment Tonight that indicate he might be in the US so i don't think hes there at the moment. I got a quick trip around some news headlines which are quite interesting CDC study has to send us for disease control And they're doing important work here. This government-funded study says gay and bisexual high school students are more likely than their heterosexual classmates to smoke, use alcohol or do other risky things! I think we should get them a vaccine against that gayness. Anti-obesity... Why? That story makes no logical sense What the conclusion of their study Yeah

2:14:29 Well, they surveyed 156 thousand high school students in the largest government survey ever and it turns out... I'll take their word for it. Yeah! It still seems sketchy So if you're gay or bad that's the message Oh yeah okay Don't be gay That makes sense Anti-obesity vaccine reduces food consumption in animals so can't wait for that Looks like we're gonna have a vaccine against eating This is new From Gitmo Nation Ho Chi Minh City One of our producers is in Vietnam and is on the knowage in the news network knowledge in the news network calm more than 2,000 children Ho Chi Minh City have contracted hand and Hand-foot mouth disease In the past three months which I think it's very interesting because I you know. There's an underreported story Yeah But I didn't think it was communicable to humans

2:15:23 I've lived in hand, foot and mouth territory in Belgium and in Gitmo Nation lowlands. And this is weird! 2100 children Ho Chi Minh City have hand foot mouth disease double the number of the same period last year they must have a problem. It looks like 11 children are really severely hurt so... But there's good news John. There is are you consulting the book of knowledge about Ho Chi Minh City? Well, I'm actually consulting about hand foot and mouth disease in Medline and it says it's Relatively common infection usually begins in the throat uh-huh It's commonly caused by

2:16:01 Oh, Coxsackie is what it is. Oh, Coxsackie yeah Christina had that when she was a baby. In enterovirus family disease not spread from pets but can be spread from person to person you may catch if you this Coxsackie is what it is. Eleven children have died! You can die from but its pretty rare my daughter had coxsackie when she was still in the crib it was the scariest thing ever because also occurs mostly and children under 10 but can be seen in adolescence an occasionally adults these are all outbreaks occur in the summer This is not a major story. Okay, alright well I thought it was interesting Yeah it sounds interesting but its not Here's the real one John this is good news We'll have a brain scan that can predict Alzheimer disease a decade in advance Yeah this sounds like bull crap to me Of course its bull crap! The whole... we've been warning about this It's been subjugated a little bit because of some guys penis

Dr. David Kelly Inquest Rejection

UK Attorney General Dominic Grieve rejected calls for a new inquest into the death of Dr. David Kelly, the weapons inspector who died during the Iraq "yellow cake" controversy. The hosts discuss the suspicious circumstances of Kelly's death and the 75-year seal on his files.

2:16:59 But the pharmaceutical industry is all over this Alzheimer's. They've had all kinds of promotional spots in the form of CNN specials, etcetera. They're working on vaccines and now we have a brain scan What does a typical scan cost? It was like five six seven thousand dollars about thirty-five hundred Okay. Well Oh you got a bargain apparently And then this one This is nuts The Attorney General in Gitmo Nation East has rejected calls for an inquest into the death of Dr. David Kelly This is the guy who killed himself with a potato knife, I think We had helicopters landing on the field there were no footprints there was no blood anywhere

2:17:48 Uh, no. There's no evidence to support claims he was murdered Actually I see there is video! I didn't realize there was video Let's see what the video says It might be interesting This from the BBC It's a download from the BBC And uh...I just see it spinning right here Order Statement of Attorney General Mr Dominic Grieve Here he is Please speak House Of Commons Mr Speaker With permission I'd like to make a statement about The death of Dr David Kelly and whether an application should be made by me to the High Court for an inquest to be held into his death. Mr Speaker, as a Law Officer of the Crown I'm routinely asked to consider such applications as part of my public interest role it's in that role that i make this statement today

2:18:34 I wouldn't normally present the result of my considerations so publicly, but given the interest in this case is attracted both from members of the House and in the media. I think it's right that this house has a chance to consider my conclusions and ask any questions The house will be aware Dr. Kelly was a distinguished government scientist who became one of the chief weapons inspectors in Iraq. It turns out it's 34 minutes I should have previewed this. I will watch that, it is just hilarious! So this guy was clearly murdered because he Was it weapons inspection? They blew the whistle on the scam, on the Yellow Cake scam. They've closed his files for 75 years! Wow what did you expect I mean for God's sake they should have done this long ago But where is the outrage Where is the whistling? What outrage we can't even get anyone outraged about the Department of Education having a SWAT team at their disposal Ah John You know what I love talking to you my friend It's always fun
