About this episode

President Barack Obama and the Department of Health and Human Services are under fire for the Fatherhood.gov initiative, which features Ad Council videos of fathers receiving manicures from their daughters. Critics argue the campaign represents a softening of American masculinity, while a Republican response from North Dakota ignored the holiday entirely to promote Cargill beef exports to Korea. This cultural shift coincides with the administration's use of Public Law 107-40 to bypass the War Powers Resolution for ongoing military operations in Libya.

International tensions rise as Russia Today and the BBC clash over state propaganda labels during the NATO intervention. UN Human Rights reports now contradict International Criminal Court claims regarding systematic rape in Libya, while CNN faces backlash for airing unverified rebel footage of alleged atrocities. In the United States, Texas Governor Rick Perry is utilizing data-mining text tactics at the Republican Leadership Conference, and Ron Paul is championing raw milk advocacy following a straw poll victory. Meanwhile, the Dutch Mint has introduced QR-coded currency as the National Solar Observatory warns of a potential new ice age due to low solar activity.

Media outlets have begun branding Ayman al-Zawahiri as the new CEO of Al-Qaeda, using corporate terminology to maintain the terror narrative after the death of Osama bin Laden. This episode features a formal knighting ceremony for Sir GQ and Sir Taylor Stewart, alongside a deconstruction of the BBC's overproduced war reporting. John C. Dvorak and Adam Curry also examine the New York Times' ethics investigation into Justice Clarence Thomas and the bizarre confiscation of high school yearbooks in Big Bear, California.

Fatherhood.gov, Obama Father's Day Greeting, Cargill Promotion

President Barack Obama released a Father's Day greeting via email and video, which was followed on C-SPAN by a Republican representative from North Dakota. The Republican response focused on promoting Cargill and exporting beef to Korea rather than addressing Father's Day. The Fatherhood.gov website is highlighted for its "Fatherhood Pledge" and various activity tips for parents.

00:00 Adam Curry, John C. DeVorex It's Sunday June 19th 2011 time for your Gitmo Nation Media Assassination episode 314 This is no agenda Deconstructing the media with non-kinetic force here at the Hilltop Watchtower, Crackpot Command Center in Gimel Nation West. The People's Republic of Southern California. In the morning everybody! I'm Adam Curry and from Northern Silicon Valley where it's nice and sunny and gosh God knows what else is gonna happen today. I'm John C. Dvorak. Crackpot & Buzzkill! Why would you forward me a message that would end up in my spam box?

00:45 That's where you put all my emails apparently. No! I don't know, it was a forward from my database system but it is still adamantcurry.com Yeah maybe I'm going to whitelist for sure just in case. That would be nice that's just the thought. It never happened before So happy Fathers Day and In The Morning to you John And HappyFatherhood.gov Wait a minute. Are you weaseling in on my turf? Are you now watching WhiteHouse.gov as well? This is no good, stop doing that! No I didn't, I watched it on C-SPAN they had Obama came out with his Father's Day greeting and then that was followed by a Republican guy

01:27 because they don't do that on whitehouse.gov, the Republican guy comes out and he starts to promote Cargill! No really? It's got nothing to with Father's Day no greeting nothing. Cargill?! Basically he is a guy from North Dakota who is a representative and he comes on so they can balance their coverage. Obama comes out with this Father's day greeting and by the way also sent an email out everyone on his mailing list. Oh I did not get the memo Oh well I got the, it must be from a different mailing list because i signed up for something once and its...I don't get many messages from him but I got the father's degree. Maybe it is all in your spam box It's a possibility. It's where it belongs!

02:04 So, uh... Hold on. Hot pockets for you there! So anyway the Republican comes on and I expect him to rebut the Father's Day greeting? I disagree! Father's day is not a good idea! But he comes out apparently never heard what Obama had to say and dry labs it and goes on and on about how we need to export more beef to Korea, now we need to open up international trading. And he goes on and on I was like what is this guy's name? So I noticed from North Dakota obviously you know a Cargill stooge they're the ones who push out the beef into Korea. Happy Father's Day everybody in Cargill! By the way in the morning all of the human resources are all charged-up and ready the way that government loves them in the chat room at noagendastream.com, noagendachat.net

Fatherhood.gov Manicure Video, Pussification of the Nation

A video on the Fatherhood.gov website, produced by the Ad Council, depicts a daughter giving her father a manicure and painting his nails red. The imagery of a tattooed man receiving nail polish from his daughter is criticized as part of a broader "pussification" of the country. Alternative bonding activities like oil painting, drawing, or reading are suggested as more appropriate than cosmetic treatments.

Russia Today Reporter, Greek Riot Coverage, Tear Gas Incident

A British reporter for Russia Today (RT) was filmed attempting to report from the front lines of anti-austerity riots in Greece. The footage shows the reporter struggling with poor audio, being pushed by protesters who did not want to be filmed, and eventually running directly into a cloud of tear gas. The segment concludes with the reporter physically incapacitated by the gas while bystanders offer assistance.

06:28 Oh, they have a new spokeshole? No. Well it's not no no you know of course we continue to try and advise them to get a hot blonde news woman like Fox has with uh whose name is Natasha who has a little bit of sexy Russian accent so your'e not quite sure if she's a spy or not So they keep going with these English birds And by the way, we're just talking like television producers now not it's not as like douchebag guys But this is how they talk in television. Yeah, that's what they do yeah So there's just what it is and that's what you do you then then your actually they're much crueler than we are We actually are holding away really hold them back so they throw this girl who was very cute

07:08 She's British, she got a nice little skirt on. And they throw her in the middle of the riots in Greece. They have her doing stand-up? Yeah! In the middle of the riots in Greece and what is funny is that the micing is horrible because she trying to lead the cameraman into the riot and she starts, but the protesters are having none of it. And they keep blocking the cameraman and pushing him around so she has to keep starting it over again this is kind of first a little insight into how these stand-ups work as she keeps starting the segment like three or four restarts here The protest between...the clashes between police and protesters still going on you can see just up there we're on the front line

07:53 She's walking away Now wait, I'll wait for it now she jumps into the middle of it all No, here we go I want to film now, film it. Are you still filming? And now she jumps into the middle. Okay we're on the main street right now it's very hard to film because even the protesters who are here don't want us to see this. To show what is happening on the streets right now. We've got fires burning!

08:44 So what happens is... Hold on a second, her premise is that they don't want them to see it? That's bullcrap! Of course its bull crap. This is why its so beautiful this whole video by the way is linked in the show notes 314.nashownotes.com She goes to stand in the middle of the tear gas guess what happens next? provoking the police, you can see them. Ah they're provoking the police okay They're in the black uniforms and they are the ones who keep trying to stop us filming And the tear gas is literally going off right now as we speak! And now she's running into the tear gas John this is how dumb she is As we speak the protesters She drops her bag and runs into the tear gas Very hard to breathe here A lot of these people who are provoking it don't even want us to be filming here so I can't do too much

09:37 And then guess what happens next? It's like 30 seconds of her hawking her guts up. She's crying, you know she's like oh my god what did I do? Tear gas yeah! Yeah and there are guys coming over and drinking this. There is a hot girl on her knees almost puking. All these guys are like drink this, drink this, hold onto this, drink this! Like wow... It's just crazy. So to follow this up, there is a discussion on the BBC and it's another British woman from Russia today in discussion with a journalist from The Times and it's about Libya. What times? The Times of London. Okay. Yeah and its about Libya

CHAPTER 04 / 41 Discussion

Russia Today vs BBC, Libya Propaganda Debate

A debate on the BBC featured a representative from Russia Today and a journalist from The Times of London discussing the NATO intervention in Libya. The Times journalist characterized RT as a state propaganda channel, while the RT representative countered that the BBC is similarly funded by the British state. The exchange highlights the conflicting narratives regarding Muammar Gaddafi's government and NATO's military intentions.

russia today· bbc· libya· nato· propaganda· state funding

10:28 And so here's Russia today, who I think are pretty much on the... Of course Russia is like, you know Syria is next where we've got a naval base. So there I think they're pretty much on par with telling a lot of the truth of what's happening and why it's happening in Libya and The Times guys have none of that You know It's like no Gaddafi's evil horrible guy rape whatever and listen to this exchange Oliver, is it not justified to see a concern that NATO is slipping into another Iraq and other Afghanistan? No quite the opposite. NATO is responding to a genocidal campaign by an illegitimate government against a captive population I'm slightly perplexed that Mr Emmett whose station is not a normal news gathering organization like the BBC

11:16 BBC. She hits it back, which is great! Or CNN or even Al Jazeera but a state propaganda channel provides such a tendentious misreading of NATO's intention which is to carry out discharge the obligations that the UN Security Council requires of us. I'll give you a chance to respond to that. Yeah I can't allow him say we're a state propaganda channel. We are funded through the State Duma much as the BBC is. Well, we take a different line on the news from other channels do and in this case on Libya we are doing the same. He means when you conspiracy theorists of the most preposterous and pernicious character I'm sure this discussion can carry on now So she hit him back, so he said it twice by the way She said well look were funded by the Russian state just like the BBC is funded by the British State You know who you callin propagandist that's preposterous

12:07 Preposterous! Even Al Jazeera is better. It's like, what? Crazy guys you nutty people you nutty nutty people Mickey was so cool this morning says I have to turn off the television i need to listen to some no agenda i can't handle it anymore let's repeat the same thing over and over and over again that's right we are programming your mind programming your mind Yeah, so I got really angry though. Okay? I got really like super upset um...I think it was- I believe was actually after Thursday's show and this is something that you know they've been trying trying to get the so let me actually You know what i'm gonna do? I want to do it this way. I'm going to take you back in history first This is actually quite important

Gulf War Incubator Story, Hill & Knowlton PR Deception

The 1990 testimony of a 15-year-old Kuwaiti girl claiming Iraqi soldiers removed babies from incubators is revisited as a confirmed fabrication. Investigative reporting by the CBC's Fifth Estate revealed the girl was the daughter of the Kuwaiti ambassador and had been coached by the PR firm Hill & Knowlton. This deception is cited as a primary driver for shifting American public opinion in favor of the first Gulf War.

12:58 Let me just find my... I had this whole thing, sequence of clips. Okay so i want to take you back in time some of you may not have even been born when this took place This is regarding the reason for going into Iraq Gulf War 1 And I, you know we've discussed it on the show how this worked and how Helen Knowlton was involved in what was said and what was used for the American public to outrage them. To justify going in which of course is a private war for Daddy Bush Luckily the CBC our Canadian broadcasting compadres have put together nice little piece that explains it precisely the way it happened

13:40 Iraq attacks Kuwait, claiming the Kuwaitis are slant drilling into Iraq's oil fields. U.S President George Herbert Walker Bush pushes for a land war against Iraq but polls show the US public is split 50-50 on that idea Then comes this eyewitness testimony before a congressional committee from a 15 year old Kuwaiti girl The claim is she cannot be identified for fear of reprisals While I was there, I saw the Iraqi soldiers coming to the hospital with guns. They took the babies out of incubators and left their children to die on a cold floor." The U.S public is outraged. The result? Support for land war zooms! It's a turning point. Desert Storm is launched.

14:35 135,000 Iraqis are killed. An estimated 1 million Iraqis many of them children and old people then die as a result of 10 years of sanctions One small problem there never were any incubator baby deaths not one The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's investigative flagship program, the Fifth Estate reveals the girl to be the Kuwaiti ambassador's daughter given her lines and coached in acting by the giant American PR firm Hill & Knowlton. It is one phase in a $10 million joint US-Kuwaiti campaign of deception This man is lying I myself buried 14 newborn babies

15:22 that had been taken from their incubators. This man is lying! And they had kids in incubators and they were thrown out of the incubators so that Kuwait could be systematically dismantled. Alright, so I think we understand essentially what's going on this is now historical fact it was not true but it was used... It was uncovered Think it took about five years, and they finally blew the lid off that nobody cared at that point nobody of course not Why should we care? I mean you know nobody to this day. I mean the fact that the entire Vietnam War was based on the Gulf of Tonkin Yeah incident which never happened yeah false flag so We've been tracking

CHAPTER 06 / 41 Discussion

UN Human Rights Report, Libya Rape Allegations

The United Nations Human Rights Committee released a report on Libya that stated it was unable to verify individual accounts of mass rape despite widespread media claims. While the International Criminal Court (ICC) alleged that Gaddafi's forces used Viagra as a "weapon of war," the UN commission found no conclusive evidence of systematic sexual violence or indiscriminate attacks on civilians by NATO at that stage.

libya· united nations· human rights· rape· nato· icc

16:08 Lucifer Clinton and the douchebag at the International Criminal Court, and everyone saying well you know they're raping women. They're bringing out Viagra to use their penises as weapons of war. You think they could come up with something a little better than that? Well they've stepped it up one more notch And now I'm getting angry! I mean i'm really mad because Rape of course is unconscionable, a horrible thing. But to use rape disingenuously and I assert fakely falsely is an nth degree egregious when it comes to mind control so CNN

16:53 has this report and I've done quite a bit of deconstruction on the reporter, and i just want to go back and tell you that when we read the resolutions that essentially set NATO up for us to go in and shoot hellfires and drone people in Libya they said you know we have to send the Human Rights Commission, The United Nations Human Rights Committee. To go and check it all out when they come back then will decide on what action to take And of course, three days later we went ahead and created the quote no fly zone started bombing. But the report did come in and we read pieces of it on a previous episode by the way you can barely find the report now Of course conveniently it's not linked anywhere on their website. Of course I had to copy which I saved they have an extract which is two pages but the full report is multiple that

17:43 So I just want to reiterate one little paragraph. The commission received but was unable to verify individual accounts of rape, it notes however that sufficient information was received to justify further investigation to ascertain the extent of sexual violence including whether cases were linked to incitement by command on either side It is evident that reports of rape have had major psychological and social impact, and have spread fear among the population. The ongoing conflict is having a significant negative impact on the rights of children with regard to allegations concerning the conduct of hostilities by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization

18:21 The Commission is not in a position at this stage to assess the veracity of the information received concerning indiscriminate attacks on civilians. The Commission has not, however seen evidence to suggest that civilians or civilian objects have been harmed." So if you read the report they essentially spoke to one woman who claims to have been raped one only one who claimed to have been raped and showed a bruise, and she was the one that was on CNN and all the news media which they also referenced in their report. So there is no evidence of this yet they continue... And we had the clip of the ICC, The International Criminal Court douche saying, oh yeah using Viagra it's a weapon of war! It's a weapon of war! They're using this as a weapon of war and then CNN does THIS

CHAPTER 07 / 41 Discussion

CNN Cell Phone Rape Video, Misrata Media Center

CNN aired a report featuring an unverified cell phone video allegedly showing Gaddafi loyalists torturing and sodomizing a woman with a broomstick. The reporter, Sarah Snyder, acknowledged that the network could not verify the date, location, or authenticity of the footage, which was provided by rebel sources. The use of such graphic, unconfirmed content is criticized as a tool for manufacturing consent for military intervention.

cnn· libya· misrata· sexual violence· journalism ethics

19:07 On the front lines of Libya's war, rebel fighters... I have to point out for women who are listening and men as well this is very disturbing. It's really really disturbing so either you know just be prepared for what you're about to hear or i would suggest just think of it as a fake drama. It is-I don't believe its real. Fighters say they are finding a lot more than weapons on captured or killed pro-Qaddafi soldiers They say they have confiscated cell phones that contain videos showing Gaddafi loyalists torturing and raping Libyan citizens. After weeks of hearing of these cell phone rape videos, we for the first time have a copy of one. This was given to us by a source who does not want to be identified for fear of being punished by this very conservative society To be clear, we've been unable to verify its authenticity We don't know where it was taken or when or by whom All we can do is watch it

20:06 and listen to it. In this video provided to CNN from what rebels say was the cell phone of a Gaddafi loyalist, two men in civilian clothes stand over a naked woman who is bent over with her face on the floor The man standing behind her is sodomizing her with what appears to be a broomstick I can't bear it! I can't bear it she says A male voice off camera says let's push it farther No, no that's enough the woman begs. One of the men puts his sock covered foot on her face in this culture it is considered the ultimate insult but in this case it pales in comparison to what the victim is already enduring We blurred this video because its extremely difficult to watch Arabic speakers who have examined the video say the voices are distinctly Libyan with clear Tripoli accents there is no date on the video

21:05 And the men in the video are not wearing military uniforms. The victim's face is barely seen, so we have not been able to identify her. It has been extremely difficult to get anyone to talk about this video on camera because of the cultural sensitivities. So, this goes on a little bit longer if you want to hear the whole thing Wow! What a crock! We don't know who it came from, it's unverified, its civilians we do not know anything But Mickey literally almost became sick to her stomach just watching this report and I had to turn the sound off And I can understand this, I totally get it. So to me... and this made me so angry right on cue as if she was watching CNN and saw this report and said, I have to put out a statement. Lucifer Clinton puts out a statement

CHAPTER 08 / 41 Discussion

Hillary Clinton Statement, Sarah Snyder Career Background

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton issued a statement condemning the use of rape as a weapon of war in Libya, citing the unverified reports. CNN correspondent Sarah Snyder, who presented the controversial rape video, is noted for her rapid career progression from a local Oakland station to international reporting in Mumbai and Misrata. The reliance on the International Criminal Court as an authority is questioned given the lack of verified evidence in UN reports.

hillary clinton· sarah snyder· cnn· international criminal court· libya

21:57 and says, we are troubled by reports of sexual violence used by governments to intimidate and punish protesters seeking democratic reforms across the Middle East in North America. Rape physical intimidation sexual harassment and even so-called virginity tests have taken place in countries throughout the region these egregious acts are violations a basic human dignity and run contrary to the democratic aspirations so courageously expressed throughout the region And she says See if I can find the exact quote she's saying that using rape as a weapon of war. A weapon of war! Rape is a weapon of war, now...

22:36 A lot of this doesn't jive obviously because... By the way I want to mention something. Yes, please? I think it was interesting and unique that they would slip in the terminology which doesn't refer to this at all conservative society which does an associative thing in the brain with these kind of horrible activities and the word conservative very good effects the elections in our country Very good. And also what is the deal with the broomstick when these guys are so loaded with Viagra? Exactly, that's what I was going to say! Oh now we have broomsticks even though it's all viagra now So i'm looking at this... Now she spoke to a guy on camera and the guy is from the Misrata Media Center I'm like Misrata media center?! What is that who was this guy!? So you know I start looking around and you know this is like complete ministry of truth

23:30 And they have one of these in Benghazi as well and I want you to, this is amazing. It's the Media Center guys by the way it supposed to be at freemizrata.com according to reports on BBC, Dutch World Broadcasting and I went look for freemizrata.com it did not exist at least not in M-I-S R-A-T-E-A dot com spelling So I registered that of course immediately. I got that one But it was free Mizurata calm so they didn't even check their own stories They just wrote it down like let's do a who is oh by the way the who is on free Miserada comm Tariq a goob to Marshall Crescent London United Kingdom, I mean really

24:17 So, okay. Anyway... Listen to this little report from one of these media centers and listen very closely what he says about Facebook. Looking for these systems tried to stop the blockage from the government And we thank God succeeded We managed to keep the internet active For journalists for the media center for the team of Facebook so which is The most visited website, so that I hear him say the team of Facebook It's what he said when you say the team of Facebook to me That sounds like Facebook sent some people over there to go do some stuff. Oh

25:08 Or they have a team working out of their organization that does the Facebook pages, I don't know. No he's talking about for media for different these people and then the team of Facebook...I don't know! I mean I can't say anything. Well you did say Team of Facebook whatever that means. Now needs clarification The woman holding up this cell phone in this report in Misrada on the ground is Sarah Snyder. Sarah Snyder worked at KTVU channel 2 in Oakland, California and She was also a local reporter. She was plucked by CNN International and became boots on the ground for CNN in India just weeks before the Mumbai hotel attack And now she's doing this story in Misrata

26:02 And there's no biography, you can't find anything about her other than she worked at Channel 2 and she has been in media for 12 years. She has been a television journalist and the only things I can find is that she was at Oakland, Channel 2 then all of sudden she was the star of Mumbai India As the Mumbai hotel attack occurred, she was there? Oh this woman. I'm looking at her press release where she quit the KTVU She was a weekend anchor or something. She was a black woman Yeah well she still is That hasn't changed Well she might not be you never know She could be Libyan by now

26:49 Interesting, okay. I only saw her a few times she wasn't really a regular on the... She's 12 years! She got all kinds of awards of course CNN doesn't specify what award she won so... 12 years in the business? She was only at KTVU since January 2004 Yeah well look at her just look at the bio- The only bio you can find is on CNN There is no Wikipedia entry uh..she very sporadic on Twitter Here it is, Sarah Snyder CNN's multiple award winning. Multiple award-winning New Delhi based international correspondent responsible for the network coverage of India and South Asia Why is she in Misrata then? They couldn't find any British dude? Sounds... huh Were you suggesting she's a spook Yes, shill total I'm suggesting that she's totally into being on the front lines

27:48 That she's totally horny on the whole media thing and she'll just take whatever comes their way. And so, I don't think she is even in on the game It's like get her! She'l do it. And she's holding up a blackberry with this video on it A BlackBerry Holding up a BlackBerry in the desert saying here's a woman being raped with a broomstick It makes me very, very angry that they're doing this. Yeah I can tell this is one of the few times you've actually gotten worked up. Well because rape is a horrible thing and then to use this to justify an illegal war, which is exactly what's happening. And then for Hillary Clinton to come out and say well the ICCC... The ICC agrees and investigates all of a sudden the ICC is the authority? The International Criminal Court which the United States does not recognize instead of saying well you know the United Nations Human Rights Committee went there couldn't find any conclusive evidence says we should do some more research

28:53 But of course that's no good because the whole report is filled with nothing that's really condemning. So then the ICC is now the authority on this? I'm sorry, it's disgusting! It really really angers me and of course everyone just buying into it Oh yeah well you know the false flag works very well to the American public Yeah, well it's and I'm just I'm saddened. I'm really really saddened then and I'm gonna keep harping on this because I can't believe that they're doing this They're stooping to this level and of course is like it hits home with everybody you know what's weird about it What we're supposed to be out in days not weeks It is US policy that Gaddafi needs to go no but let me emphasize that we are

CHAPTER 09 / 41 Discussion

War Powers Resolution, Public Law 107-40, Libya Legality

President Obama is utilizing Public Law 107-40, originally passed under George W. Bush, to justify military action in Libya without a formal declaration of war from Congress. A constitutional law professor argues that the War Powers Resolution is being bypassed or misinterpreted to allow illegal first strikes. The administration's claim that the intervention does not constitute "hostilities" because there are no boots on the ground is challenged as unconstitutional.

barack obama· war powers resolution· congress· constitution· libya

29:45 Anticipate this transition to take place in a matter of days and not a matter weeks. I'm sorry about that yeah, that was March 21st 2011 when when the president said that and We can just we might as well just wind up this segment with nice email that I received from a constitutional professor constitutional law professor one of our producers and He just lays it out he says you look can you know? I brought up public law 107 dash 40 which is really what the president said in his letter to Congress, you know they sent over a whole big documents like

30:23 You know it's like we're not really using the United no boots on the ground and we day doesn't really you know count is the war powers resolution by the way under public law 107 dash 40 I have the authorization to send our troops into war public law 107 dash 40 is what George Bush put in place with a resolution from joint session from Congress and the Senate which he took as permission to go into Iraq and Afghanistan, and this is what President Obama is using to go into Libya and soon into Syria. So this producer John Calvin Jones says that look... In the public law 107-40 purports to authorize presidential action pursuant to the War Powers Resolution

31:16 Public Law 107-40 authorizes nothing, because the War Powers Resolution actually authorizes nothing either. Either Congress declares war or they do not. Either the President orders or authorizes the military to retaliate against offensive action of another OR the President orders an illegal first strike There's no other way about it! Just can't be any other way And of course this is what a lot of people are saying, and the War Powers Resolution and Act have been deemed unconstitutional as such anyway. Because at the end of the day Congress has to authorize war! Now we just have a big circus and were doing the same thing that's been done for 40 years, where walking around in circles discussing the War Powers resolution when at the end of the day it's a breakage of the Constitution...done

32:09 But that's okay. Because we've got broomstick rape to worry about. Yep, I think he summarized it How bummed out are you now? Well you know this is our Congress...I mean what we do later in the show after the break i'm going over this week's New York Times front page five stories. Oh fantastic! And the feel good story of course we have a theme for the whole thing but they feel good story which makes should give you some insight Let me let me do the jingle as a tease and then you can tease that for coming up later on the show John's gonna harm the Sunday Times

Military Listeners in Afghanistan, Kyle Miller PR Ad

A letter from a donor currently deployed with the US Army in Afghanistan suggests the podcast is popular among service members who share episodes via USB sticks. Additionally, producer Kyle Miller purchased a commercial for the show on a local television program in Edmonton, Canada. The hosts thank the "Associate Executive Producers" for their creative efforts in propagating the show's formula.

Anthony Weiner Scandal, Sexual Frustration in America

The Anthony Weiner sexting scandal is discussed as a uniquely American obsession that receives little attention in Europe. Speculation is raised regarding a potential "honeypot" operation or political hit involving fake Twitter accounts to force Weiner's resignation. The conversation transitions into a broader discussion on sexual frustration in American marriages and the need for honest communication between partners.

anthony weiner· chuck schumer· sexual politics· media coverage· marriage

42:10 You know, the shame of it is that even though the listenership does fall off on all media over the summer and the shame of it is this is the time a year when the more interesting news items seem to be cropping up because they can slip stuff by the public. Yeah oh yeah well you know of course it's very interesting when you have If you look at a grand view of what's happening in media, in the United States at least. Because no one is talking about Anthony Weiner anywhere else My daughter was in London for three weeks She said what? Some guy what? There was not a word about it And she watches the news and she stays in touch It just isn't mentioned because nobody cares over there

42:51 But sex is on the mind, everyone's thinking about sex and so that's when they slip in this rape with broomsticks in Viagra. Of course the real travesty taking place is when the president is saying well you know what it's not actually an attack on someone if you shoot a hellfire at them from a drone that's non-kinetic That's not actually an attack So we're not really at war These definitions are being played out before us It of course all distraction I don't know. So anyway... Yeah, you just read the Sunday Times and you don't know. No, we got clips and other things to deal with. The Sunday Times is this-I could have done the whole show that's why want to push it off because if i get going on this is gonna chew up too much time okay um I mean they're kind of propaganda that were seeing today's paper is unbelievable. I did hear by the way just briefly on Weiner reports are there was a honeypot involved

43:51 and that he was baited by fake Twitter accounts. I'm telling you, there's something that we don't know. That he was... Either it was an important vote or something he was involved in and they had to get him out of there because they rushed, rushed, rushed to push, push! Get out, get out, get out more than anything i've ever seen before so it had to be more than just this, you know, so he is a pervert? So what?! Yeah, I do not understand why no one is interviewing Chuck Schumer cause he was Chuck Schumer's boy. I was thinking the exact same thing I mean Senator Chuck Schumer, yeah and not a single word. It's like it's like a no-go zone you can't talk to Chuck about Anthony so yeah with this stuff we don't know but i will say that only in America only in America can we get so riled up about this because were so frustrated such a frustrated sexually frustrated bunch of boners We really are

44:52 Yeah, this is a conversation that has just been ongoing. I'm sure it happens in every single household But if you really don't have a good relationship This is what guys do this is what we do and but even even so this type of stuff my ex-wife she went on television and in Holland I think I told us like a year and a half ago or something And she made allegations about some sexual stuff that I was into and the whole country Went Are you kidding? Why would you even tell anyone about that, your stupid. Where as if that had happened in America. They'd be like ah ha ha ha look at curry! And they'll be uncovering pictures and doing photo montages Right? Yeah we're waiting But the Dutch public literally went... You know who cares We don't care what he's into So what was it again? You know I've told you about that before

45:54 But I'm just trying to give you the difference. So, women of America it's a two-way street You want... this is..I'm gonna have to say it. You want your man sometimes to romance you and you want him to really spend a lot of time with you and cuddle And guys! You need to be doing this if that what your woman wants You need to have a conversation and sometimes your woman just wants a wham bam thank you ma'am. And this is what you do when two people are together, partners... It doesn't end when you get married or start living together. You gotta keep talking about this stuff otherwise it turns into sexual frustration. Conversely women guys want what we see in the porns

46:42 I'm sorry, that stuff you see and not all of it of course but it's not like the porn industry corrupted us into thinking. No its fulfilling a market demand so sometimes... I'll call when I need it What? Where's the duck call? Right, but I get you out of this hole. No, let me just wind it up by saying you need to have a conversation together about what you're into and what you like You have to be honest and you can agree on what you will and won't do But if it's just not discussed and just goes into like missionary once every two weeks Your guy is gonna wind up with his boner on the internet And this is what guys do

Rick Perry Speech, Republican Leadership Conference, Texting Tactic

Texas Governor Rick Perry's speech at the Republican Leadership Conference is criticized for its "preacher-like" delivery and "douchebag" tactics. During the speech, Perry paused to ask the audience to text "FORWARD" to a shortcode, which is identified as a data-mining technique to build a mailing list. The hosts compare his style to a televangelist and dismiss his chances as a serious presidential nominee.

47:23 Yeah, well. So... Hold on a second! Let's go to our sexual correspondent John C. Dvorak who is going to weigh in on this. So John?

Ron Paul Straw Poll, Raw Milk Advocacy

Ron Paul won the straw poll at the Republican Leadership Conference and delivered a speech criticizing the War Powers Resolution and the FDA. Paul specifically advocated for the right of citizens to consume raw milk without federal interference, leading to the suggestion of a "Ron Paul for Raw Milk 2012" campaign. The segment also touches on Paul's desire to withdraw the United States from the UN and the IMF.

ron paul· straw poll· raw milk· fda· united nations

52:44 You know the Hannity's and the Hannity's big brick Perry fan. Well, yeah, he's a Mormon This is all religious cult its whole thing is ridiculous And this guy I didn't realize how bad He was until I heard with that little that little voice going down dead going down as evil I tell you they were throwing babies out on the floor there was an evil thing You could do that. I could run for president. Yeah, well anyway that was my moment of truth yeah whatever Ron Paul of course was also at the Republican fest and uh i have two little clips one for me one for you One for me one for you John how do you like that? Yay! Well here's one from me

53:30 Right now we're in Libya. Congress was not even asked or informed about it We have a lawsuit, there's Republicans and Democrats got together filing a lawsuit and say he has broken not only the Constitution but the War Powers Resolution which was meant to restrain the presidents from going into war like this But our current president explained to us in condescending way to the congress oh this isn't a war This is in the war. This one doesn't qualify as being controlled by the Constitution, the Congress or the War Powers Resolution He said they're not shooting back and we haven't been killed so evidently if we go and bomb people and they don't shoot back it's not a war That how silly the whole thing is but its up to us It's up to the people Its up to the congress

54:18 to all of us and it's up to us to get a president that won't put up with this nonsense and won't go to war so carelessly. Lots of applause there for Dr Ron Paul who, of course, won the straw poll there but he also I think you know well no we know that he is aware of our show because i interviewed him for the 2008 presidential election. I think he's been listening John! I think he's been listening...I think he had a covert message for YOU Which, because he wants to convert you. You know because of course he voted for Obama we all know that I didn't vote back actually I'll tell the truth and i'll tell everybody this I did...You didn't vote? In fact here's what happened so during the primary I thought it was Monday! I can't believe it

55:09 It was the primaries and actually I'm forgetting the details but anyway, I'm a registered independent. So in California if you're registered... You can't choose anybody's ballot you have to either take a primary ballot or a Democrat ballot! Yeah that's right. You can't get a Republican ballot so I couldn't vote for any of the Republicans Wait a minute wait a minute, so I can't vote for Ron Paul in California? You could write him in No he would be listed on an Independent No he is a Republican Okay, no you wouldn't be able to not in the primaries. Oh in the primary? No of course not I'm not a member of that party So now that I think about it I may have voted for Hillary but either voted for Obama maybe I think I voted for Obama so I could say I vote for him Really! I gotta shoo you man Alright anyway Ron Paul wants you to register as Republican so you can get him in because here's his message for John and he actually under breath says

56:05 John McDonnell. Here at home we are steadily losing our liberties, we're losing our economic liberties, we don't own our own property We can't use our property unless we pay our taxes and follow all the regulations from not only the federal government and state goverment but local governments but from the UN coming down on us telling us what to do with our land It's a very good reason to support my bill that would get us out of the UN and the IMF and the World Trade Organization.

56:51 You know, the good intentions always get out of control. There's a good intention done by the Food and Drug Administration Make sure your food is safe Who's against safe food? Everybody's for safe food But do we need the FDA So now what the FDA is doing And why they feel so compelled to protect you They will arrest you if you start drinking raw milk If you happen across a state border What is so dangerous about you making your own choice About whether or not you can drink raw milk I think we ought to vote for the right to drink raw milk! Yay! Vote for milk!

57:27 Vote for raw milk! Come on, that's genius. It's pretty funny. Vote for raw milk. Ron Paul for Raw Milk 2012 dot com We have one of the great raw milk dairies in Washington I know you do For all you drinkers of raw milk we buy it from the dairy and they also have it locally $6.50 a gallon That's more than my gasoline, boy. No that's dirt cheap. Raw milk generally would be about 12 bucks a gallon in most places it's overpriced anyway just for the raw... because I brought today anyways long story anyway so enough As much as i like Gary Johnson I don't think he has a chance I think he's over no no he doesn't have a chance but Ron Paul you know wins the straw poll of course yeah he does got a chance either do you hear um O'Reilly is pretty funny pick this up

CHAPTER 16 / 41 Discussion

Bill O'Reilly vs Ron Paul, Fox News Media Bias

Bill O'Reilly is accused of marginalizing Ron Paul by pretending to be confused by Paul's explanation of Keynesian economics and the Federal Reserve. The hosts argue that Fox News is run by establishment interests who prefer candidates like Mitt Romney or Michele Bachmann. They claim that even "right-wing" stations are often managed by liberals who prioritize ratings and establishment stability over genuine conservative discourse.

bill o'reilly· ron paul· fox news· keynesian economics· media establishment

58:24 So here's just we don't have to really discuss it, but just listen how O'Reilly like yeah so he wins the straw poll But O'Reilly marginalizes Ron Paul this one. We're trying to unwind a Keynesian bubble that's been going on for 70 years, and you're not gonna touch this problem until you liquidate the bad debt and the malinvestment. Go back to work but you have to have sound money You have to recognize how we got into trouble because we had a financial bubble caused by the Federal Reserve And now Riley goes like, I don't understand. Yeah no, I saw this clip and O'Reilly pretends that it's all gobbledygook and he never heard of Keynes and all the other bullcrap

59:12 Which just shows you how completely, completely compromised and controlled it all is. Yeah no it's a total scam in fact uh I'm not getting it to be honest about it I mean why? Well because it has to be their boy! But I'm not getting how they think they can pull it off In other words I don't get how Fox thinks they can get away with this Because we're stupid! Because first of all Fox as you and I both know is really run by Democrats And they want to have the stupidest people. Like Mitt Romney or Michelle Bachman, as cute as she is and the accent just it turns me on but you know she's MK altered You know? She got that thousand yard stare on her Yeah what is she looking at I don't know if she was looking right through me that for sure So of course we... John did you know that we killed Osama Bin Laden

1:00:11 Yeah, oh by the way I just want to mention something because people we bring this up Every so often that you know that talks is run by Democrats and you know it seems like its laughable. I want to mention that our major talk Station here in the San Francisco Bay Area KSFO which has all the right wings got Rush Limbaugh's got everybody And to it? KSFO yeah! No thats Los Angeles no It's KS, whatever it is down there. Leo is on the limbo station here! KSFO is owned by KGO which was the left-wing talk channel and they're both managed by a guy who's an extreme left wing liberal guy nice guy I've met him Jack Swanson and he is a very big time Democrat of course she's married to Republican

1:01:06 and they manage the right-wing show because it makes them a lot of money. So I mean, the idea that this can happen that Democrats can run the right wing shows is not... you know its observed all over the place. You just have to look at the ownership its that simple It really is that simple Anyway, so when you have the demeaning of Ron Paul it's obviously a threat to the establishment exactly and Murdoch is the establishment murder because he is the establishment and but Romney's the establishment yeah, yeah, and Michelle Bachmann is cute. I mean she's TV friendly

Al-Qaeda CEO Ayman al-Zawahiri, Fox Business Scripting

Fox Business News is criticized for a scripted segment featuring Lieutenant Colonel Ralph Peters, who referred to Ayman al-Zawahiri as the "new CEO" of Al-Qaeda. The media's use of corporate terminology like "CEO," "street cred," and "franchises" to describe terrorist organizations is deconstructed as a propaganda technique. The segment suggests that the media is attempting to build Zawahiri's profile to maintain a sense of public terror following the death of Osama bin Laden.

ayman al-zawahiri· al-qaeda· fox business· ralph peters· terrorism

1:01:49 That's it. I have to say dr.. Ron Paul looks pretty good. He's 74 now 75 looks pretty good lively Yeah, very it was a good speech and actually I'm playing the Mickey someone like hey who's that? Let's get some guy making sense over there on your computer. That's Ron Paul oh wow yeah She's out You win the straw poll good luck you're out Anyway, so as you know our president killed Osama bin Laden and this of course heard that yeah So this is a conundrum. He actually go over there knife him he hit him in the mouth with a night ring I hear just like Obama had a knife in his teeth it repelled down the rope from the but I mean not the Blackhawk the stealth helicopter

1:02:33 So he's dead. What happened to that story, by the way? It wasn't true because the Pakistani newspapers started reporting about the fact that these were really loud helicopters and people were annoyed by it and one of them crashed! The whole thing is wrong we can't even get into it was so wrong you know there's so much stupid reporting But of course now we have a real problem because we need to stay terrorized. Because you know, we can't just like say well ding dong the witch is dead and were going to leave Afghanistan that would be no good so now we have to ratchet it up a little bit So we got this video and now I've got a letter from who used to be the number two guy is now the number one guy Anwar al-Zarri

1:03:23 I think that's his name. Al-a-wokie, yeah. Waka wakka. Baraka flackaflame! But Fox Business News has a report with the consultant who is hawking a book... Is that all they do on Fox by the way? Hawk books?! Yeah if we get a book we're so in, just have to put it up. Unbelievable! We can just get one of those free holo books say here's our book Like your brain look at your head, it's completely hollow and And you know normally I wouldn't play a clip from Fox Business News And I don't even know who this guy is some jabroni that brought off the street and then the consultant is funny but you can it's a script right and if people don't

1:04:11 If you've not been listening to the show, everything on television is a script. Just about everything. Kardashians? Trust me it's a script everyone knows what they're doing And this guy starts off with the most fantastic description of the new number one in Al Qaeda and it just keeps going from there. We'll have to stop it and discuss from time to time because this is The New Normal, John for you and I. Al Qaedas had to rearrange their deck chairs as the number two man is now number one problem for al-Qaeda is that they're new CEO Ayman Zawahiri... Their new CEO! He's a CEO now You have to report to the board? Do they do quarterlys, is there some sort of report that we can get?" And I'm like what?! CEO!

1:04:58 Their new CEO! They got a new sheriff in town. Now, now just have to listen to this it's a meme fest John. It's about as inspiring is a potted plant even though he is just as deadly has bin Laden was so... By the way do you know when you hear those words this is a script okay? This I mean no one talks like that hey John that's about as inspiring as a potted plan what you just said there Now, it's a script. Does Zawahiri need to establish street cred? Street cred! In order to make him more powerful in the organization let's ask Fox News strategic- Like he's in the Crips now all of a sudden. He has to have street cred and here comes The Consultant. ...analysts and author of The Officers Club Lieutenant Colonel Ralph Peters so colonel is Zawahiri gonna do something? What?!

1:05:47 Zawahiri, that's who it is. Well he actually corrected- The doctor! Well yeah the doc- I'm sorry doctor the new CEO is a doctor To try to make himself more of a household word Well, he's certainly going to do everything he can. The time to watch is as we get around 9-11 the 10 year anniversary Al Qaeda will struggle as hard as they can to pull something off somewhere if not in the US in Europe If not Europe Somewhere on the third world or what? We used to call the third world but there in the Pacific Ocean It'll be somewhere you've nailed it really Nailed it. Why are you

1:06:27 Just isn't inspiring. He's not a recruiting poster boy. He needs some media training John Clearly he needs media training He needs that Adam Curry John C Dvorak media training for after we're done with Russia today Yeah, it's for terror CEOs this is the weekend This is a gig right here the theoretician these are he's a bureaucrat of jihad a jerk at of jihad Can you believe this key who wrote this? Keep the kid did it man. By the way, I want to mention that ever since they got bin Laden They have been pushing this meme. Oh It gets better Osama bin Laden

Al-Qaeda Hit List, Media Ratings Bonanza

Reports of an Al-Qaeda "wish list" targeting British private schools like Eton and 40-50 American individuals are dismissed as a media fabrication. The hosts predict that media figures like Wolf Blitzer or Anderson Cooper will use the existence of such a list to boost their own ratings. They argue that being on a "terrorist hit list" has become a status symbol for journalists seeking to establish their importance.

1:07:03 in his heyday which had passed excited great personal loyalty and sacrifice the jihadis love that guy he was on the T-shirts so Larry doesn't, he's not going to be a Jihadi. He needs some T-shirts John! He need stickers? He needs T-Shirts, he needs keychains, keychains... He needs T-shirts throughout the Middle East You know what it reminds me of? It reminds you of Raul Castro trying to replace his brother Fidel I mean Fidel is not loved by the Cuban people because they know what the score is but around the world Fidel has this I'm not a little bit of Cuban people just so you know. Raul does not, Raul is just a bureaucrat. So it's kind of similar thing. Do they have... Is is Zahiri or Zawhiri? Oh, Zahari. Zahari! John say it now. Zahari. No, Zahari. You have to say it right. Zahari. It's the CEO man

1:07:55 CEO Dr. Zahiri you hear various claims that the as a hockey was the hog really evil influence it he was a guy corrupted division of bin laden and a couple schools of thought and we just don't know what we want to walk away is that not for us i think so how do you talk about him now here's this

1:08:38 Al Qaeda is no longer as unified as it once was. Zahari or Zalahiri if you prefer has his detractors. This is the, by the way do remember? It was Osama, Osama same thing! We got to a little confusion with the name...it's the same script and I think you're gonna see a lot more franchises split. Franchises?! It's the McDonalds of terror! John, this is great. These guys are expanding. than the core Al Qaeda guys. What has he done? He's doing better! How is he doing better, he put some guys... some bomb in some guy shorts supposedly No no you know exactly how this is measured they get a report from Hill and Knowlton and it says look we got this many words and this much print space which would equal this much money if you had to buy the space and that's how they justify it This is all PR work

1:09:44 Oh, so what you're saying is because he's getting more ink. More ink! Exactly. That's how he's defining success by... Ink and air time. Somalia with a target wish list of what they'd like to hit. Now here's where it gets interesting the target wish list This is where its gonna get fun. What do you think of that wishlist by the way? So far all I've seen are a couple British references, a British hotel and eating in a British private school What? They want to blow it up?! Yeah, no this is great! Eaton Hotel. Yeah! We'll just send a drone over Great Britain and blow up Eaton. The CEO doesn't have access to her drone... Oh I thought they were talking about the wish list or the wish list is their wish that was our wishlist No, this is what you have to understand and this is where it's gonna get great Wait a minute they put you mean you're telling me Al-Qaeda, Al-Qaeda, Al-Qadha

1:10:42 whatever they want to call them, advertising. Do you think they'd want a blow of Eton? Yes because that's where all the evil douchebags come from that's where every single politician or almost every single politician in the UK has been schooled it's like their version of skull and bones. I don't believe Al Qaeda gives a crap what is not symbolic This is why it's so great. Keep listening! The private school in Britain, which they call public school for their upper crust the richest of the rich the aristocracy that would be a big win if they could go to eat and kill a lot of... That would be a big win!

1:11:25 It'd be a big win if we could blow up Eaton. It's like they're talking about a football game! If the coach could go over there and... Beat USC? It would be a big win, that would be awesome The Scions, the best and brightest young Brits but there also was a list apparently Now here it comes of 40 or 50 American individuals that were thinking about or wanted to hit people from the world of finance politics maybe the media now that's the one I'm going after So this is what we talked about. I had the FBI warning that they're going after people in the media so first of all it's all bullcrap there's no yeah, but this is like the warning list This is what you do as you put out a you know this supposed Al Qaeda listen say don't tow The line We're gonna put you on to listen and maybe just maybe some local nutcase

Media Deadpool, CNN Anchor Predictions

A "Media Al-Qaeda CEO Deadpool" is proposed, with predictions on which news anchors will claim to be on the terrorist hit list. Wolf Blitzer and Anderson Cooper are named as top candidates for this "ratings bonanza." The hosts suggest that even if the list is fake, media personalities will embrace it for the international coverage and perceived "street cred" it provides.

cnn· wolf blitzer· anderson cooper· geraldo rivera· glenn beck

1:12:18 who happens to think he's an Al Qaeda or whatever comes and he just knifes ya. Now it gets better than that first of all, al-Qaeda is a farce alright I'm just gonna say it again this is just something made up the boogeyman make you afraid yeah we got that part okay so we got that So how do we get the media to talk about this as much as possible by putting them on the list? By putting them on the list! And I think... But who in the media did they put on the list? Do we know Oh, please go Allah. Let it be Anderson Cooper Please oh please maybe Don Lemon Don lemon please it won't be any of these guys he's got to be thank you darling Specifically targeted people I'm telling this list is put up by our people but they've gotta hit somebody They got to take somebody out to make it real well who would it be? Anderson Cooper no It won't be Anderson Cooper why not he'd be that big huge how about wolf

1:13:16 Now it's got to be somebody now. It's I don't know this is interesting to try to suppose It's a media Al Qaeda CEO Deadpool if we gotta come up with the deadpool cuz there's just list been revealed with the names of course not Well that may, they know there's a list but they don't have the names. That doesn't make any sense The FBI has the list but they're not releasing it It doesn't matter because next week Here is my prediction Okay I'm getting it Either Wolf, or any top anchor is going to say... Is gonna be interviewing some guy with a book

1:13:55 And it's going to say, you know I understand my name is on the list. Now everyone is going to want to be on the list see this like a hot thing you want to be on the Al Qaeda hitlist because that way its ratings! It's a ratings bonanza I tell ya! John if you and I were sitting together which we never do and we're like hey how can we get ratings up? We've come up with this Hey man, let's make an Al-Qaeda hit list and put our guys on it. So who do you think is... what's your prediction? Okay on the list It's definitely Wolf Blitzer It's all the CNN guys Anderson Cooper for sure because he's all buffing stuff And he's gonna have a kerfuffle or scuffle Maybe Geraldo. Geraldo is always a go to guy for that stuff I don't see it

1:14:45 I mean he might put himself on the list for the reasons you just explained. A double whammy would be Glenn Beck. Glenn Beck's taking himself out of the picture Yeah, but it...but okay I'm sorry, that's my list. I can't help myself! So the...I think you might have to be on to something with the CNN thing because CNN does get coverage overseas and it is international. If anyone travels a lot knows that if you go to hotel and start flipping around, you get CNN but also You get some of these I think you get sky some places and you get Sky Sports. There's a few stars Believing it's not going to be an American that's hit my prediction is that somebody will get killed, but it'll be a Brit Hmm But they got no it has to be like a celebrity Anyway everyone's gonna want to be on the list that I can guarantee It's gonna be like this thing are you hey? Hey are you on the list yeah man here? I heard him on the list now you watch

BBC Libya Feature, Overproduced Rebel Footage

A BBC report on a Libyan student returning from Britain to fight in Misrata is deconstructed for its high production values and suspicious cinematography. The segment highlights the use of car mounts, long-lens shots, and multi-camera setups that suggest the "rebel" footage was staged or heavily choreographed. The hosts argue that such "war porn" is designed to manipulate viewers rather than provide authentic reporting.

bbc· libya· misrata· cinematography· media deconstruction

1:15:50 Alright onward. Yes, what else whether bogus things is it? Is that the end of this guy hope I'm done with him. I just thought it was cool the new CEO of al-qaeda CEO very very awesome. I found an interesting little talking about propaganda from the media I found this interesting little tidbit on a BBC actually have two to BBC clips and One of them is an over unbelievably weird I have the whole thing. Yeah, I have to overdrive to talk over it to make so it makes any sense in Overproduced BBC report on some kid who was at Eton or one of these schools in England? That's not gonna exist pretty soon Who's a Libyan and him and a bunch of his compatriots are coming back to Libya to fight

1:16:37 Even though they don't never shot a gun in their lives and they're gonna do this because of the devils that they see over there but The British are really the ones that are back in this war to an extreme And this guy it so they produced his piece. It's like a whole feature, and they show and they showed the kid Back home bitching about something then they show him with it's like a three camera shoot That's over produced with green screen effects No, I know maybe. Voice over? Is that voiceover hot voice over and stingers? There's pictures for example of him coming off the boat so they had the camera planted on shore in Libya then they have him you know rolling his rolly cart and then he's dead Then the next thing you know they have like a one mile long shot with a 2000 millimeter lens nice of him

1:17:23 coming down the road in a Jeep, in Libya heading toward the rebels. I don't know how they got this camera so far away So they zoom way out and he's coming and then they have one shot of him standing in the Jeep with... The cameras obviously on the hood of the jeep And then they shoot the long shot again What happened to that camera that was on the hood of the jeep? I do not know Oh wait! Is it the Jeep driving? Yeah! So they had car mount That is expensive A car mount No kidding So this thing is driving down it did the whole thing and then he's getting out of the Jeep There's a camera ready for to shoot. They have a helicopter shot the helicopter shot no cheap cheap cheap Already like ridiculously produced It was stay hard The car mount is very expensive if there was a good car mount, and I can you this is the crazy thing about media? I'm so glad you bring this up and listen to it in a sec

1:18:17 Is it, you know we take the sofa granted we get sucked into the television and your like your in the world. But you and I who have been doing this for so long were actually deconstructing every shot like wow that man must of been a steady cam And if ever seen a movie being made where people are sitting in a car You've got all this gear strapped to it and sometimes its even on a trailer they're not even driving That's what you have to imagine when stuff is being produced Yeah, and then in this case it's so fake because first you gotta know what road he is coming down. You got to position the camera way up the road with a long lens and then show him driving down the dirt road up the dirt road towards you and past you but there is a camera! Did they drive over? Who was picking him up? Did they leave him there? Did they drive over the camera? I love those shots those are great No no they didn't have that shot That would've been perfect So do we have to narrate this or what do we do

Sadiq Belhach BBC Segment, Sound Effects in War Reporting

The BBC's profile of rebel fighter Sadiq Belhach is scrutinized for its use of canned sound effects that resemble video games or Hollywood movies. Despite the reporter's claims of being on a "very active front line," the footage shows no actual combat, only rebels firing into the air and burning a mattress. The segment concludes that the report is a "ridiculously produced" piece of propaganda intended to justify the war for oil interests.

bbc· libya· sadiq belhach· sound effects· propaganda

1:19:11 Well, just play and you'll get the feeling I'l talk over it. In Libya say at least 10 people have been killed in a rocket attack by Colonel Gaddafi's forces. In recent weeks rebel numbers have been swelled by some Libyans who live abroad returning to join the fighting in the besieged city of Misrata Our correspondent Andrew Harding met one student who left behind his studies in Britain to join the fight on the front line. In high spirits A feral bunch of guys dancing. ...heading for the besieged city of Misrata and the front lines that surround it... Wait a minute, were they choreographed dancers? Yeah Okay Among today's reinforcements are young math student from Lancaster University Sadiq Belhach In England I couldn't do much for this revolution so i decided to go and hold the gun for the first time in my life

1:20:12 For Sadiq, this is personal. His father has come to greet him but Gaddafi's forces have taken 16 members of their family. Within hours the shy earnest student seems transformed It's a short journey to the front lines He got off the boat now he is coming up the road sound effects cue background noise and go extras Gaddafi's superior firepower is a constant threat for these part-time soldiers there is no action you don't see anything blown up that is total sound effect, thats taken from the south pacific these guys are standing at a jeep about five of them they're shooting this and they have a mattress that they set on fire yeah for unknown reasons as one does

1:21:03 in the middle of nowhere. If you don't go Gaddafi, I'm gonna set this mattress on fire! And then they're pointing out into the distance giving this guy a gun to shoot he's never shot one before and he takes a couple shots in the air it's... You can play some more. I just want to listen that to that sound effects I think you're right I think I can probably find these sound effects of these pew pshh that sounds like uh.. The series HBO series The Pacific It could be. It sounds like that World War II stuff, listen to this. But is Sadiq ready for this? Actually it sounds like an Atari! It sounds like bull crap. Pew pew! Those were uncomfortably close. Gaddafi's superior firepower was a constant threat with these part-time soldiers

1:21:58 Sadik has come right to the very front lines here. Very active front lines. Colonel Gaddafi's force is just a mile or so down the road, we can hear their missiles whistling overhead... Okay hold on a second they're a mile away he says it's the front lines you don't see anything blowing up no explosions no whistles blown by this guy The reporter is dressed up with a big helmet and a bunch of flak jacket He's standing behind a pole Everybody else is in short sleeves Everyone's all... And in khakis? Yeah! They're just standing around with a short-sleeved shirt and no helmet, nothing. This reporter meanwhile is dressed to the tens. Patrolling the skies too now the men here are bracing themselves for what they believe could be an imminent Gaddafi offensive In a quieter moment Sadiq's training begins These are the rockets He hopes his math skills will help with targeting

1:23:01 These are the rockets. They go pew, pew! I don't want to kill anybody actually and also my friends they don't want to kill them but we had to fight So where is the enemy now? Sadiq's lack of experience is nothing new here The rebels need training and weapons And too many are dying What does he say? Be nice What is he saying there? I don't know. But nice, be nice, be nice. He says be nice now. Hold on let me go back here. The rebels need training and weapons and too many are dying

1:23:43 Nice, nice. Very nice. And so he's saying very nice because I guess he shot the thing. Because he shot the gun yeah. Nice, very nice. After a mere hour or so... Did he say where is the enemy? Did i hear him say that? Yeah! He says where's the enemy there was just- There isn't one No it's in the sky It's that drone dude That's the enemy Oh wait a minute John Crap that's us Training Sadiq joins the ranks Either we live in peace and freedom Or We die Andrew Harding BBC News, Ms. Ronson. Andrew Harding BBC News... Anyway so they by the way they mentioned that they train him in one day we have been in Afghanistan for 10 years and we can't apparently train anybody to do anything where's the enemy? Where is the enemy you know and it's I'm so ashamed! So ashamed! I'm so ashamed that were killing people

Julian Assange Hit Piece, BBC and The Guardian

The BBC aired a segment featuring Nick Davies of The Guardian, which is characterized as a hit piece against Julian Assange. Davies claimed that Assange expressed indifference toward the potential deaths of Afghan civilians who helped coalition forces. The hosts interpret this as a coordinated effort to condition the public to view whistleblowers as murderers and to prepare for Assange's eventual removal from the public sphere.

julian assange· wikileaks· bbc· the guardian· nick davies

1:24:42 for British Petroleum. I'm so ashamed of this, deeply deeply deeply ashamed. So the BBC also did a little hit piece on Assange... Assange? Assange and I I can't figure out, maybe you could figure it out for me but i don't know why what the point of it was. But play the Assange clip here which I think introduced new information that's bogus We started coming across really interesting information about collusion between the Pakistani intelligence service and the Taliban So this was rich stuff that was buried in this database. If you want to see it on the map, then you can always use the other one... But there was growing tension with Assange. All of us came across material which was clearly likely to lead to the death of innocent civilians if we published it. All of us had the experience of bringing this to his attention and being told by him, in effect, if an Afghan civilian helps coalition forces then they deserve to die

1:25:44 Does a sonj understand that there are flesh-and-blood? Consequences to the action yeah, I think I get it this is to condition human resources that freedom of speech has consequences Except their consequences for which you should go to jail for. I think that's what this is It's just conditioning like if you are a whistleblower and Or if you have information that you believe is pertinent to injustice and things that are very wrong, by saying that you are killing people and therefore a murderer. And you should be hung. Well I think it's interesting... This is Nick Davies from The Guardian one of the three papers that got the entire database or seemingly so. Whatever it is!

1:26:35 and he said advertising, and he said the uh... he says that Assange was said apparently he says it did the key is he's he says if you play that little end again he says Assange was told that this gonna kill people as well they're in collusion then they deserve to die? let's listen had the experience of bringing this to his attention and being told by him in effect if an Afghan civilian helps coalition forces than they deserve to die Does a song hmm he says in effect in other words? He didn't say that right. It's not what he said in a bullcrap quote He says it's out of the night in effect said oh, you know I love it when you do that John because I Love that

1:27:25 Well, you know... Maybe Assange is just time for him to be taken out. He's a CIA asset. Yeah I think there was a message in here. It's like goodbye! Well he has been very quiet on the Assange front hasn't it? Oh yeah. There isn't much going on. He's laying low for probably pretty good reasons. For like a predator drone everybody! 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 So we do have some donors, producers that helped us out on this show.

CHAPTER 26 / 41 Discussion

New York Times Analysis, Obama Golfing, Justice Clarence Thomas

The New York Times front page features a photo of President Obama and Speaker John Boehner golfing, which is criticized as elitist fluff. A significant "hit piece" by Mike McIntyre targets Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, focusing on his relationship with real estate magnate Harlan Crow. The hosts deconstruct the article's logic, noting it attempts to hold Thomas to ethical standards that do not legally apply to the Supreme Court.

new york times· barack obama· john boehner· clarence thomas· harlan crow

1:41:15 John's gonna harm the Sunday Times everybody now my friend we switch over to Berkeley, California and They're waiting for us with his weekly segment that we all enjoy so much is The consultant to the no agenda podcast John C. Dvorak hello John as return the camera on you How are you gotta say? Thank You Adam Thanks Adam sure what's up What you got for us? Looking at the front page, it says Sunday June 19th Sunday Times. You have a typical bonehead photo which shows Obama pointing off camera at something and on the same course for once...you know this is like a pun and they had standing there with Boehner and apparently the two of them went golfing And then there's kind of a feel-good story deeper in by Helene Cooper and apparently the foursome quote

1:42:06 The foursome had a great time and really enjoyed playing golf at the Joint Base Andrews. At the joint, it says the Joint Base Andrews today, the White House said. The President and Speaker Boehner teamed up to beat the Vice President and Governor Cash. And uh...the match was won on the 18th hole! And the president and the speaker won two dollars each That is what passes for news in the New York Times, the top of the whole thing. By the way in other countries golf is still deemed as a very elitist sport we may think it's really normal here It's not normal here! It's elitist Okay just checking so there are bunch of elite douchebags doing elite douchebag stuff on our dime

1:42:53 Alright, so we have five stories besides that one. Backlog of cases gives a reprieve on foreclosures and this is just kind of apparently they're going to be slow in getting foreclosures done I'm not...I tried to deconstruct this one, I looked at the inside to figure out what the point it was but it just shows, I guess its indicating to the public there's a reprise for getting thrown out your house soft-pedaling the fact that the banks are screwing people. That could be justice in the magnet this is the key article in today's paper, it is a hit piece on Justice Clarence Thomas one of the worst One of the worst kind of hit pieces I've ever seen done by a writer Mike McIntyre who apparently only does articles that are kinda targeted at, for example if you look at his... The kinda articles he writes in the New York Times. He's supposedly brought in as an investigative reporter but his articles are all hit pieces

1:43:48 Institute for Liberty, here's some of his articles in the past. Tea Party with a Business Agenda Top Corporations Aid U.S. Chamber of Commerce Campaign American Future Spends Millions on Campaigning and it just goes on and about all these right-wing operations so they do this incredible hit piece on Thomas and it is based on the fact... This just kills me I've never seen anything quite so blatant It apparently Thomas had some, and if you can find the photo of this. Some old fart in the middle of nowhere has a cannery some years ago and... And the guy was moaning to Thomas at some I guess in somebody on how this guy would ever get into any these meetings. The guy looks like it basically looks like a hobo. And uh...Thomas said well put you touch with a friend of mine is friends of Thomas's this guy Harlan Crowe Dallas real estate magnet

1:44:42 and he built this, you know a museum for this character. And so they're blasting Thomas for setting this up because he shouldn't have any friends apparently and so they do it by creating... This is interesting that you have to deconstruct this article people because this is done very coyly First you establish a false... first you establish a fact that has nothing to do with the guy you're talking about and then you put him up against the false premise and then, very slowly over time pull out the rug from the false premise and associate him with the premise. And here's what it is Wow! Let me just get this straight Okay I got it Now let me.. Here's what they did They said... I'll just read the quote

CHAPTER 27 / 41 Discussion

Supreme Court Ethics, Three Branches of Government

The discussion continues on the New York Times' portrayal of Supreme Court ethics, arguing that the media is trying to subordinate the judiciary to the executive branch. The hosts clarify that the Supreme Court is a standalone branch of government not subject to the same rules as federal judges in the Justice Department. They suggest this media narrative is part of a move toward a "kingdom" where the President holds all power.

supreme court· ethics· clarence thomas· executive branch· constitution

1:45:31 Well, let me summarize because it's a little too long to read. Apparently there is a series of ethics that federal judges have to abide by these ethics do not apply to the Supreme Court now hold on a second the only thing you haven't done here is you haven't given the background of the issue with Clarence Thomas Clarence Thomas is a supreme court justice who is a conservative Black conservative and this cannot stand we cannot put up with that Well, he was also the guy who when he was in confirmations a woman named Anita Hill claimed that she had been sexually harassed by him there was a pubic hair on her coke can and He kept talking about the porn movie long dong silver. I

1:46:23 Exactly. This guy's been under attack for a while, in fact he was even under attack by us because we see his association with Monsanto and we don't like that He was a lawyer for Monsanto Yes They don't do anything about that because heaven forbid you'd bring that up They're trying to get him from other perspectives so they feel more legitimate So they anyway you take this they say there's just ethical stuff and you know if your doing and the Supreme Court guys don't have to abide by it but some of them supposedly say they adhere to it but whether they do or not is another story. so what you do now as you're saying, it goes like this here's the ethics for federal judges the supreme court judges don't have to go by these ethics but if they did

1:47:04 then they start slamming him for not going by these rules that he doesn't have to abide by, to the point where they get to this sentence. This is a big article by the way. They get to this beyond the code talking about the ethics...this is like the beginning of our paragraph near the end where they're wrapping it up. Beyond the code the justices must comply with laws applying to all federal officials that prohibit conflicts of interest and require disclosure blah blah blah Now they've made the assumption that he's supposed to abide by this code by this point in the article. Oh, and they turn it around halfway through is what you're saying? Then all of a sudden then your douchebag even though you don't have to do it but of course I have to adhere to ethics! I agree

1:47:44 They don't have to adhere to the same ethics. What? You have ethics that you have to adhere to, why do you have to adhere to somebody else's ethics?! Wait a minute but they don't have to adhere to ethics? They have their own... actually the Supreme Court justices don't have to adhere to anything! They're supreme! They're stand-alone one of the tri-part, you know we have a government that has three segments. It's got the legislature that doesn't have to work for the president they have the Supreme Court that doesn't have to work for the president or for you for that matter they can do whatever the hell they want to be honest about it Wait a minute what are the three branches of government? Legislature executive and justice That's it! Right How the US works Just checking

1:48:28 They don't need to, they don't have that to go with federal judge which is a part of the Justice Department. They're not part of the Justice Department! They don't work for the head of the Justice Department. This is an old standalone segment they don't have to abide by any of this crap. They could just say fuck you and do whatever they want to be honest about it. So can Congress by the way. But no, we're going to hold them to some standards because what were trying to do is turn this into a kingdom so there's only one real important branch of government and that's the executive branch. And I have in fact got a really interesting quote which i keep forgetting after the show where we have congresswomen Barbara Lee over here talking about Obama you know he's more important than they are which is bull crap

CHAPTER 28 / 41 Discussion

NYT Front Page Stories, Homeschooling, Afghan Pullback

Other front-page stories in the New York Times include a piece on homeschooling graduations, Obama's evolving stance on gay marriage, and the potential pullback of troops from Afghanistan. The Afghan article is criticized for being contradictory regarding the influence of Vice President Biden versus General Petraeus. Additionally, the presence of a large Citi Bank advertisement on the front page is noted as a sign of corporate capture of the "paper of record."

new york times· homeschooling· gay marriage· afghanistan· citi bank

1:49:12 And that's what this is doing. This whole article is designed to demean the segment of government, the way Congress has done for itself and give all the power to the president so the president can just do whatever he wants He could write laws, he could hell with the 10th amendment and do whatever he wants That's basically what this is about Throw hell fires on brown people in sand Alright I'm not going to go on anymore People can read it for themselves they can read all the crap in there Wow you're upset How many of these are you gonna do? There's only five and that one was a big one Was that first? We got four more of these No, that's the third. That's the second one I got two more three more actually the third while do the last one for because it's short and I'll cut it down so you won't be upset please just yeah don't get too upset. Pop in traditional circumstance front page articles about homeschooling and how they're now setting up a home schoolers to have graduation exercises and this is nothing more than a promotion for people who sell cap and gowns okay? Wait a minute

1:50:07 Can we sell no agenda cap and gowns? I think we should. Sounds like a premium to me Then we have a crazy article about how Obama's kind of thinking about gay marriage and may reevaluate but meanwhile he's got a bunch of dinners with various gay people that or bring the gays in for $1,200 a plate meal and he'll think about approving gay marriage which you'll never do. Hello that's the rich gaze. The rich gaze? Yeah. Wait a minute wait a minute stop I gotta be able to respond! Hello everybody as you know uh i repealed don't ask don't tell kinda so um send give me your cash all right thank you

1:50:48 The last front page articles, and by the way you know how kids say pewter instead of computer? Pewter. Now they got Kaida. Ha ha ha ha...Kaida? Yeah, Kaida. You don't say Al-Qaeda, you just say Kaidah? It's headline says Kaida. How do you spell it? Q A E D A. Kaida! All right, Ida Woe's Fuel Talk of Speeding Afghan Pullback. And the key is this is a bogus article too essentially it says its talking in the first paragraph as Obama administration nears the crucial decision on how rapidly to withdraw how rapidly this would

1:51:33 Is he going to withdraw it all? No, 5,000. I've predicted five thousand troops no more no less That's what we say. We came up with a memo but they're trying to make it sound as if there are actions taking place so the discussion is about how rapid opposed to whether or not he will in the first place and then they try to make him look like some great it makes them sound like Hitler by the way because how he's decided this and he's decided that and let me just read that this'll wrap it up yeah I thought this is just gentle

1:52:14 Just listen to this. The officials interviewed Friday made no attempt to disguise their belief that the counter-terrorism campaign which was favored by... Vice President Biden has outperformed the more troop intensive counterinsurgency campaign pushed by Gates, Petraeus and other top military planners. And then when you go three paragraphs further down you read this When Mr Obama decided on December 2009 same as the other one to go with a more ambitious plan backed by the Pentagon in other words Gates

1:52:51 Petraeus and the rest of them. It's like they say he didn't do it then they say he did it, uh... The president said he would allow 18 months to test these concepts so they say he didn't do it and they say he did it and when they say that these guys were all for whatever Obama had, they had this spokespeople for Obama, it turns out there'd be a guy in the National Security Council which was who works for Obama if I'm not mistaken So this article is just, this article is the poorest piece that I've seen on the front page. Now of course it's The New York Times' paper record for these United States of Gitmo Nation This will go in history will prove when anthropologists are going through the notes they'll say wow Meanwhile did they have a little snippets at the bottom and then at the very bottom with the front page in The New York Times there was huge ad for Citi

1:53:48 When do you put front? What do you put advertise big advertisers on the front page of your paper when is that when did that start when they pay for the news and They pay for whatever. You know there, I'm sure there's a big President Obama spot why didn't they support all the candidates don't give a crap So they have these little bitty hits at the bottom and one of them includes Rick Perry draws GOP praise. And then links it to... I thank you for your praise! Not for us. And don't you listen to them heathens Adam Curry and John C Dvorak because I want America to prosper. I could get more worked up about this but i'm through. All right, let's end up the segment everybody

CHAPTER 29 / 41 Discussion

Prison Radicalization Hearings, Lone Wolf Terrorist Meme

Congressional hearings led by Peter King regarding radicalization in the US prison system are linked to a recent "lone wolf" incident near the Pentagon involving a man with suspicious materials. The hosts argue that the "lone wolf" terminology is a legislative meme being pushed to maintain fear. They suggest the timing of the Pentagon incident and the hearings is not a coincidence but a coordinated effort to validate the terror narrative.

c-span· peter king· radicalization· lone wolf· pentagon

1:54:29 John's gonna harm the Sunday time And we apologize We just apologize in general so There was some c-span action now this past week, and there was two up two hours and 18 minutes Which of course is announced as this program will last about 2 hours and 18 minutes and 37 seconds and it was about radicalization in the United States prison system. Oh, I saw this! Now...

1:55:06 I have two very short clips from this which i think are relevant and I could've pulled a couple more but it's all posturing. But its such an incredible coincidence that amidst this we should have some kind of radicalized military person go out with some white powder right near the Pentagon! And the news report was fantastic because it started off, CNN had the best Like we found the guy and he said it was aluminum nitrate but it wasn't. And he had a notebook with the words Taliban and Al-Qaeda scribbled in it. He said it was aluminum or ammonium? Ammonian, whatever he said it was, the report literally said it wasn't. Yeah that's ammonium probably.

1:55:53 And then ABC pulls out all the stops. was his planned senior justice correspondent Pierre Thomas has been on this story all day. Pierre, Pierre! Dine it was a tense morning here at the Pentagon as police feared they had uncovered a terrorist plot now they're racing to find out to see if the suspect was mentally unstable or lone wolf terrorist. Lone Wolf everybody there it is they put the legislation they'd put the words lone wolf and now we're using the word lone wolf

1:56:42 This poor guy, this poor guy was probably like who knows what it was. Flower or something and of course I'm sure we'll turn out he'd be Muslim. Well i know yeah I'm looking at the article that's in one of the... Ridiculous but lone wolf they're just pulling out lone wolf Yeah Lone Wolf now Suspicious items were found in his car. Suspicious yes He was a lone wolf acted alone You know, he did not get certified for fitness so therefore oh no. He fell off the radar all of these great memes that they're pushing on us but this is no coincidence my friends and this happens during the congressional hearings about radicalization in our prison system let's go to the videotape

CHAPTER 30 / 41 Discussion

Prison Indoctrination Testimony, Profiling and Conversion

Testimony from the radicalization hearings describes how charismatic leaders in prisons use profiling to identify and convert vulnerable inmates to Islam. The process is said to involve moving released prisoners to specific mosques in Virginia or Florida, and eventually overseas. The hosts mock the testimony, suggesting that the mentioned locations in Virginia and Florida are actually hubs for CIA activity and asset training.

prison· radicalization· islam· profiling· cia

1:57:28 What I'd like to first start off with is, Mr. Downing if you could just tell me a little bit more about the radicalization process within the prisons themselves? Can you kind of comment on that and how someone becomes radicalized? Inside the prison systems Well, it's not too far from how a gang member goes through the process to become a gang member where there is an orientation. There is an identification and indoctrination process then there is a type of radicalization that goes through but as the people, as charismatic leaders, as materials, places of association that contribute to that and we have evidence where we've seen little bit convergence with gangs

1:58:10 uh... we have a the higher african-american prison population that is as being converted and we've seen this come out onto the streets in terms of convert convert mosques coming up in the different communities as well so let me just get this straight so all black men who are imprisoned for probably for smoking weed they get identified, indoctrinated and then they get sent to the mosque and then they're Al-Qaeda. Yeah well yeah I know and the funny thing is that I saw this hearing and one guy came out with actual numbers...yeah oh! And it was the numbers were nothing and meanwhile the other guy, the best guy was the first guy who had all the hairy scary information about this guy and got all individual little one shot cases

1:59:02 And I thought the whole thing was that, you know this is Peter King again who's doing all these Muslim hearings at the Congress to prove that we're under a threat from within. That's right because we've got the new CEO, the Caida CEO and we gotta all be afraid of terror! now there's another piece of got here the process of radicalization uh... particularly islamic radac radicalization in the prison system is very very selective it's a filtering process palm it does not occur with five hundred inmates in the art of attica yelling jihad beam facilitators and recruiters that are in the system have been unique ability of profiling

1:59:48 they are able to spot an individual who walks into a cell block for the very first time and they can tell what that person, if he has... First of all they know he has a propensity for violence because he's already committed crime. They know that he is somewhat by himself so he wants a sense of purpose in his life. They do all this profiling within the first day that they meet him And then they begin to disciple first to convert him Then to move him when he's going to be released to a Islamic mosque within, that they've recommended to him. And then from there if he continues to move into an Islamic center either in Virginia or Florida and then from there to filter him to overseas travel for continued studies.

If You See Something Say Something Trademark, DHS Website

The "If You See Something, Say Something" campaign is revealed to be a trademark owned by New York City's MTA and licensed to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The DHS has recently partnered with the US Golf Association to promote the slogan at golf events. Additionally, the DHS website is criticized for being poorly configured, requiring the "www" prefix to resolve correctly in a browser.

dhs· trademark· usga· golf· website configuration

2:00:33 Yeah, you gotta go to... Why is it Virginia and Florida by the way? Did you figure that one out? Well yeah of course! It's the pickle factory. So you gotta go to CIA headquarters or you go to Florida where y'know the other CIA assets learn how to fly airplanes And of course thats what- its so douchebag its insulting Even to me a disc jockey Its insulting to ME Imagine if someone smart I found out something very disturbing John We've been of course using the slogan which is very important. We have been trying to sell this jingle to Department of Homeland Security, we think it's worth about as much as an 18 million dollar website. Did you know that we are in violation of the law by doing and using that jingle? Why? Because... The If You See Something Say Something campaign is trademarked

2:01:31 by New York City's Metropolitan Transportation Authority and is licensed to the Department of Homeland Security for a nationwide campaign. In fact, if you go to the Department of Homeland Security website dhs.gov... By the way, you have to do www.dhs.gov because it's not configured out the other way. Wait a minute! Are you telling me they can't even configure websites so that DNS recognizes it without the www? Go ahead try dhs.gov Okay, go ahead and try it. I'm gonna try it hang on oops It came up no can't find the server you gotta do www that is lame Yeah, very late wait a minute Oh hi, I saw that your servers misconfigured now look at now look at the top story oh

2:02:25 It says, Department of Homeland Security launched a new partnership with the US Golf Association to bring the if you see something say something and has little TM trademark symbol next to it. Yeah I see that! It's not a circle R though so it's still under advisement. It's a trademark Yeah, but it's not a circle R which means it hasn't been approved. But they're not far away you know they're gonna so we can still use it before... You know what? We could get a cease and desist! I hope so too. That'd be great yeah what a promotion. I'm thinking by the way you sent me that we had an email exchange

CHAPTER 32 / 41 Discussion

Streaming Laws, All-Talk Format Change, Louis Louis

Vice President Joe Biden's comments comparing illegal streaming to "breaking the window at Tiffany's" signal new strict laws that could lead to jail time for streamers. In response, the hosts consider changing the No Agenda stream to an "All Talk" format to avoid music licensing issues. They jokingly suggest a 24/7 "Louis Louis" or "Don Ho" station as a fallback.

joe biden· streaming law· copyright· internet radio· npr

2:03:07 And not about anything important, but about this new streaming law that essentially if you stream content you're going to go to jail. I think that... does that sum it up? Yeah! If you stream content that is licensed and not yours and you don't have the rights to do it, then your gonna go to jail because according to Joe O'Biden its the same as breaking the window at Tiffany's and grabbing the jewelry. That's literally what he said So I'm thinking and by the way there's a couple things kind of play out. I read your article I don't was PC mag about Digital receivers internet radio receivers yeah, probably see Maggie see Mac nice article short That's how I like them and nice plug for no agenda in there that's good good boy But I was I was reading this and then and I also yesterday. I was cruising down to the To my barber

2:04:07 I If you take that, it's very hard to compete with iPods and iPhones and Zoons and MP3 players and Tab 40 radio. And all this... We should just be out now competing with NPR because it was so painful for me to listen to NPR that one day I was stuck in traffic. I think we should change the stream to All Talk. I think we should just change the format overnight go All Talk

2:04:45 Because that's something we can compete at because we've got interesting talk, but there are a lot of shows we can put on. With the music I just don't think we can compete what do you think? No, and also the music is weak. We're going to go to jail! Well besides that but they haven't passed a law yet but when they do obviously we have to all talk BUT I also don't think our music is eclectic enough that it maintains what broad based audience that talk does And our talk is not interrupted by commercials so I think we need to seriously consider doing a format change and were gonna go all Elvis all of time

2:05:22 That'd be funny. We could do all Don Ho, all the time! We should have a full 24 hours of Don Ho. But then we should... We should just finish off. Oh wait a minute don't you have every version of Louis Louis? I have pretty much all yeah, how many hours do ones? How many hours of that do you have it's a couple hours 24-hour blowout Louie Louie 24 7 everybody. Hey everybody is the Louis Louis station. How are you doing? We're going on top at first It's a whole weekend of Louis Louis done done done done done done done done done done anyway So that says something to consider

Big Bear High School Yearbook, Child Pornography Charges

Students at Big Bear High School in California were ordered to return their yearbooks under threat of child pornography charges due to a blurry background photo of a couple engaging in a "sex act." Sheriff's deputies were dispatched to collect the books, which the hosts describe as an overreaction driven by media obsession with sex. They question why school officials aren't being arrested if the image truly constitutes the distribution of child pornography.

big bear high school· yearbook· child pornography· sheriff· sex scandal

2:06:03 uh... sue we got a couple of what i guess that they have one this one here is interesting because it brings up a bunch of weird issues local love school had a yearbook that they released and now they pulled the beer book back because supposedly in the background i read this story there was a guy feeling up his girlfriend which is all i can Assume that it was happening. It was blurry Nobody noticed it until one of the I guess some kid knows and chuckled about next thing, you know They bring in the feds Students at a California high school are being told turn in your yearbooks now or you could face child pornography charges What?

2:06:44 A picture in Big Bear High's yearbook shows a sex act. The photographer captured an image showing a boy and girl at school dance, the two were not in focus so they were kind of ignored there in the background though. Yearbook editors did not notice them. Sex! His hands were a bit up her skirt above her area Can't you say vagina? No! So, it was um... not the best picture in the world. Could be a collector's item, but most students return their yearbooks to be edited with a G-rated replacement page. Big Bear Sheriff's deputies have now been dispatched... ...to help collect the rest of those naughty yearbooks. Naughty! Naughty, naughty, naughty! Now here is the question on my mind. The child porn laws are pretty strict. Is this an Ask Adam or is it uh...? Yeah I'm just making it Ask Adam.

2:07:46 Okay, that's the worst one. That was like four at the same time! So child porn laws are pretty strict if you receive child pornography somebody plants it on your computer or something I mean you can be arrested just for having it yeah for just having it you can be arrested... For distributing it It's extremely, even if you don't know anybody. Remember there was that one porn star who turns out she was 17 even though she looks like she is 25 and they had to pull all her videos I can't remember her name but she is very famous

2:08:24 and you know the just had you know so this so if that's the case just having it or for reproducing are sending out with you no they're not even if you don't know what is still illegal why isn't a principal in the school people being arrested right now at this is indeed child porn and child porn distribution do really want to listen as adam so i get to answer are you are you insane This is not about that, this is about ratings. This is about hey let's talk about it feeling her up. Sex sex sex sex sex sex sex sex. That's all that its' about? We're obsessed because we are suppressed and sexually frustrated in this country. That what this is about. Okay one more short clip then. Let me just let that one slide. Did you know Eisenhower was a communist? Why no I did not!

A C-SPAN clip is highlighted where a speaker suggests that Dwight Eisenhower had concerns about himself being a "communist in the making." The hosts categorize this as a funny gaffe and discuss the nuances of C-SPAN's copyright, noting that while congressional testimony is public domain, their produced specials are not.

dwight eisenhower· c-span· communism· public domain· gaffe

2:09:17 Is there some proof? there are some americans including some in the eisenhower administration including dwight eisenhower himself who had pretty serious concerns about eisenhower uh... mainly that he was a communist in the making this must have been on c-span three as c-span telling us it's common dead even eisenhower thought he was caught a communist in the making very interesting don't have to see so that's categorized

2:10:07 Categorized as a funny gaffe. We listen to so much c-span that we can collect these kinds of blunders and propagate them I'm thinking, um...c-span is public domain we could even put some c-span on the stream Only it no, it's not true. I looked into this Oh, I think you can but you can't put on a yes You can you can put their programming? But if its congressional testimony right then you can put it on but that's the fun of all the congressions up But you can't put their specials like that thing that we should Rick Perry Douchebag clip that was that that's a c-span owns that but will but will do comedy We'll do our own version

CHAPTER 35 / 41 Discussion

Greek Economic Collapse, Systemic Banking Risk

The potential collapse of the Greek economy is discussed as a systemic risk to the US banking system. FDIC Chairman Sheila Baer expressed concern over hundreds of billions in debt held by US and European banks, with $30 billion in Greek debt specifically held by American institutions. Analysts fear a "contagion" that could lead to a massive bailout or a tightening of global credit markets.

2:10:48 Well you can now in that one. And Yellow Jacket can do his comedy hour, it's all cool and we can have interviews with bands and stuff I just... We have to compete! We're not competing where'd were just being disc jockeys isn't this is not a way to win the war Okay so Greece... Nice to see you Adam Yes thank you very much Wolf Greece is collapsing as we speak and of course it's a uh... well this clip actually tells you the exposure to the u.s banking system and financial systems is from us she and be sure about it we obviously are monitoring this regularly reconsidered uh... they had with this by the way spokes all for the white house said jim carter james uh... tony carving whatever that dana card and if you know in terms of the global economy and therefore the domestic economy uh... so we're monitoring situation developments increase closely

2:11:46 But at least one US bank regulator is worried about more than headwinds. Sheila Baer, the chairman of the FDIC said today she is concerned about hundreds of billions in debt of troubled countries held by US and European banks including 30 billion dollars in Greek debt held by American banks The risk is that you're going to have a systemic banking collapse in the Eurozone. And if that happens, quite clearly that is going to draw in very large financial institutions in the United States as well

2:12:24 Analysts fear a contagion in Greek and European finances could create losses for our banks, and make lending here even tighter than it is now. They are speculating that Greece will need another massive bailout soon to be truly stabilized." That's right everybody! Greece is the word! That's all you gotta know I think its all promotion for Greece 3 John Frankie Valley's making a comeback. Okay, well I got a funny story we haven't done this for awhile of planes bad trains good oh actually i have one of those as well uh Beanos and so yeah I do it all aboard trains good planes bad

Saggy Pants Arrest, US Airways, Racial Profiling

De'Shawn Marmon, a University of New Mexico football player, was arrested on a US Airways flight in San Francisco for refusing to pull up his saggy pants. The incident escalated from a dress code dispute to charges of trespassing and battery of a police officer. The hosts characterize the arrest as racist and an example of "bogus charges" used to punish non-compliance with arbitrary airline rules.

2:13:19 Just to give our new listeners a little background, trains are unnecessary in the United States according to our opinion and it's only to enrichen and embolden Warren Buffett who owns Burlington Northern. And all these high-speed rail are farce and will be used to transport freight and slaves to the FEMA camps They have the idea is these BNSF and all the rest of these companies, they don't want to put in their own tracks because it's too expensive. So they want to stick the public with building high-speed rail tracks which no one will use so that freight guys will take it over and get a free pass on all the expenses and make the bottom line look great. It's probably not a bad investment. And Warren Buffett is not stupid! He knows the plan thats why he invested in it

2:14:10 But meanwhile, so we have a lot of stories even though this one is just more humorous than anything. You can hit it What am I hitting? The hilarious plane bad story. Oh, i'm sorry! I didn't know that...I was looking for a train clip it was a plane all right got it. A bay area man kicked off a plane and arrested for wearing saggy pants tonight the airline says it stands by its decision as Mark Sayre reports some passengers are asking if the punishment fits the crime mark Well Dana, still no criminal charges filed in this case. A spokesperson for the San Mateo County District Attorney's Office here in Redwood City tells us that the office has now asked the San Francisco Police Department to do some more investigation of this case before the DA here decides what if any charges will be filed

2:14:58 Whistle. Wearing number 32 in this video is DeSean Marmon playing for the University of New Mexico Lobos San Francisco police say Marmon was arrested after he refused orders from a US Airways flight crew to get off a plane because he was wearing baggy pants with his boxers showing Police first made contact with the captain A passenger on board the aircraft had walked on with his underwear showing, so he explained that his pants were down below his crotch and that he refused to pull his pants up. And the captain wanted him off of the aircraft for being disruptive. Police say Marmon eventually walked off the plane voluntarily but then allegedly resisted arrest when he was on the jetway

2:15:43 There were three or four officers that had to grab his arms and put him on the ground, handcuff him. During the handcuffing procedure one of our officers had a slight laceration from the handcuffs and also twisted his knee in this struggle. Marmon has been home in San Francisco to speak at the funeral of his best friend His mom Donna Doyle says she received a frantic phone call from her son shortly after she dropped him off at the airport I'm in the police car going down the freeway For what? Why, he said they arrested me because I wouldn't pull up my.

2:16:19 My pants. In a statement, US Airways says yesterday a passenger on board US Airways flight 488 was removed from the aircraft and taken into custody after repeatedly ignoring crew members instructions while us airways does not have a specific dress code we ask our customers to dress in an appropriate manner to ensure the safety and comfort of all of our passengers I feel that people should be comfortable. US Airways passenger Victor Reed said... Hey nice sound bite I feel the people should be more comfortable. He's seen it all when it comes to passenger attire on planes, but in this case he feels both sides likely overreacted Why would they take it personal if there was he wasn't causing any harm anyone or anything? To me it was more less of a fashion statement

2:17:07 Now, Marvin is being held on charges of trespassing battery of a police officer and also obstruction of a police investigation. Dana if he is formally criminally charged by the district attorney's office here we do expect that he will be in front of a judge for an arraignment as soon as tomorrow afternoon but at this point no formal charges filed in this case back to you. In Redwood City Mark Sayre So let me guess... He was black? Yeah Of course! More racist behavior This is ridiculous. You know when a woman... Don't you think that they charge him for obstructing a police investigation? It's about him! Give me a break with these bogus charges So if a woman walks on and her boobs are falling out then that's okay, but it is by me I have a similar story But this is from It's a train story

CHAPTER 37 / 41 Discussion

Metro Train Profanity Dispute, Conductor Authority

A recording from a metro train captures a conductor threatening to stop the train because a passenger used the "f-bomb" in a private conversation with a friend. The passenger argued that her private conversation was being unfairly policed, while the conductor insisted on maintaining order. The hosts use the incident to illustrate the increasing "uniformed authority" and loss of personal freedom in public spaces.

metro· profanity· conductor· free speech· passenger dispute

2:18:06 And someone also was about to get, they were about to stop the train. Stop the train! So I have to set it up because I don't know how the audio is going to come across for you John and it'll be okay on the podcast and on the stream so there's a woman talking to her friend on the metro line and she drops the f-bomb in our conversation and this is all...so that the discussion is all recorded on someone's iPhone So the conductor comes over and she says you can't use those words or I'm gonna stop the train Okay, you with me? Yeah. The funny thing is she actually says axe instead of ask She can't even speak herself. See that Kenny was just named command to the English language You mean a conductor the conductor acts this woman not to use the f-word

2:19:01 It's the whole exchange is just outrageous. I'm gonna listen. The conductor is talking to a security officer. the words I was being profane with. From my mouth! Excuse me, do you know how well educated I am that you think I'm talking in a private conversation to MY friend?

2:19:42 about being that she is now becoming loud and irate but we're going to leave or I'm going to stop the train then have her explain. I'm sorry please stop the train then, please stop the train! We are not entertaining this let's go home No you are entertaining this! I ride this train all of time in the morning to work and from work all the time and on the Metro note my parent's house in Garrison but you claim uh... i'm not sure how hard it is to be done on the are all these people and not have a lot of money back for about three hundred and ninety don't know what that means let me tell you that you know if anybody dot aspects at home but i think that's a good way for me getaway out of my life walking away from here so the whole thing is five catfight

2:20:35 But the fact that a conductor can tell you to shut up and not use certain words is a little crazy. Well, now you're there but what stop the train and do I throw her out in the middle of nowhere 25 hundred miles north of Fresno or in the middle of the desert? What's that supposed to mean? Stopped the train for what?! Yeah this is just well first off... And I have to say the passenger of course is like You know how educated I am! She's a douchebag too And I'm sure she's just a dick, but the point is if it really went down the way the article reports that she She's talking to her friend and she drops the f-bomb. The conductor says hey you can't do that That's that's a little crazy But you know someone has a uniform and they've got a hole puncher and now that's what this country is coming to yay Luckily we're not in Syria

CHAPTER 38 / 41 Discussion

Sudan Peacekeeping, Robert Gates Departure, Fall Guy Narrative

The United States is pushing for a UN peacekeeping mission in Sudan, with Ethiopia volunteering to send troops. Meanwhile, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates is preparing to leave his post, and the hosts predict the media will turn him into a "fall guy" for failed military policies. They note that the New York Times has already begun running pieces that soft-pedal his achievements and highlight his "screw-ups."

sudan· ethiopia· robert gates· new york times· pentagon

2:21:30 Because their next State Department has said if you're in Syria get out the British Foreign Office has said if you're a British national and you're in Syria get out What do you think that means John? Means we are headed in And were not taking any responsibility to get shot by a stray bullet. He believes that a robust peacekeeping presence should be A central part of the security arrangements in I'm sorry, that's some wrong clip Oops, didn't mean to do that. Yes! Uh... I screwed that up. Oh God This is actually the next one. I'm sorry

2:22:11 Get confused with all the places. We're invading I mean having non-kinetic warfare, I mean Kerfuffle whatever Sudan is next that's what I would that's what this clip is about Sudan United States strongly believes that a robust peacekeeping presence should be a central part of the security arrangements in Abyei and That the government of Sudan should urgently facilitate a viable security arrangement starting with the withdrawal of Sudanese armed forces. So we would welcome both parties agreeing to ask Ethiopia, which has volunteered to send peacekeepers, to do so as part of a United Nations mission that will be strengthened." There you go! The United Nations were going into Sudan and Ethiopia is gonna host it? It's just

2:23:08 I don't know where to start when i hear these things. Well, it just falls right into the pattern and I don't see why anything other than that. Because whatever...I'd like it stop. Oh! That's what apparently Gates is leaving in a he liked at the stop there was a story in The Sunday Times about it Gates is sick of he said basically says I'm sick of these you know voluntary wars So he's leaving and I'm starting to notice and you will too And I think listeners out there will start to see more and more kind of pieces demeaning including that piece It was on the front page kind of demeaning gates uh-huh as Kind of you know because these days like, you know I don't a lot of people if you work for big corporation run into this a lot

2:23:50 There's a guy, the greatest guy in the world. He is working as one of your sales guys. It is fantastic! Nobody is better The guy quits Then next thing you hear from executives is that the guy was no good Yeah he was not good, he sucked He was going to get fired anyway And that what gonna happen to Gates because he is ok while he is on job and then he quit and make 1 or 2 comments That they didn't like, you know, they were bombing everybody And now he's going to be seen as a bad guy and more and more is going to come out about how it was his fault about this, that he was a screw-up. We didn't want him anyway. It was a mistake to carry him over from the Bush administration. Fall guy! So we can look out for that over there. You know, you'll see that in the next couple of weeks. Yep fall guy... Alright just a quick trip around Gitmo Nation just give you the rest news that we haven't really gotten today but I do want you hear about its important Dutch coins

Dutch QR Code Coins, New Ice Age Prediction

The Dutch Mint is releasing collectible coins featuring QR codes that link to a website "surprise." In scientific news, the National Solar Observatory announced that the Sun is entering a period of low activity, which could lead to a prolonged period of global cooling or a "new ice age." The hosts mock the idea that this cooling will likely be blamed on global warming by the media.

2:24:44 are now going to, they're coming out in a month will feature QR codes. What? Yeah how about that? I missed that story! So what do you bang the coin with your phone and you end up with a website? I mean what's the deal? Well The Dutch Mint is celebrating its centennial with two new QR packaged collectible coins The coins bring their owners to the mint's website which promises a quote surprise... I wonder what else is in these coins There's a QR code on it with the Queen on the front all happy and smiley. I want somebody in Holland, one of our listeners who likes to mock me for my poor pronunciation of Dutch terminology... Get me one of these coins! Yeah well i'm sure we'll get some of these coins It's official and this was in The Telegraph but it comes from the National Solar Observatory A new Ice Age is on the way

2:25:46 The US solar physicists have announced the Sun is heading for a prolonged period of low activity. Yeah, this makes global cooling much more plausible prospect in the next few decades and global warming which of course it'll be blamed on global warming Of course they'll say it's because of global warming that we're now very cold But it's the National Solar Observatory Aren't those guys for real? Yeah, they're not like a bunch of you know bogus Gee everybody's agreed that you know the global warming is real and we're all doomed. It's gonna be really cold That's what it was gonna be

2:26:23 So a nice link there from the Times, which you might want to read just for yucks. Ten reasons to be cheerful about the coming new ice age. It's very funny article. Ice skating! Well it literally starts with... Snow! You've never ice skated on The Thames have you? Well you will that's number one on the list is very funny you say that A couple other interesting little tidbits.

HPV Vaccine Success, Methamphetamine Vaccine Study

A study from Australia claims that HPV vaccinations have been highly successful, even among boys. Simultaneously, the Journal of the American Chemical Society published a study on the development of a "methamphetamine vaccine" designed to create an immune response to the drug. The hosts question the logic of a vaccine for a behavioral addiction and suggest it is a move toward securing government contracts for mandatory injections.

2:27:02 Oh, yeah. Well that's a new one! Yeah that's nice it's good stuff That means there'll be some new ads I can clip Oh yeah for sure they'l have that in the disclaimer And a study has come out in Australia That HPV vaccinations have been incredibly successful You know how this works right? You put out a study which you pay for and then all of sudden it was on this is good stuff So the study is now out, down under. Very very successful! What does that even mean? Well it means that boys do not have HPV in Australia Huh?! Yeah because we've been injecting boys They've been trying to get on the boy bandwagon with this for a while I thought it was for warts or something... Yeah for vaginal

2:27:48 warts, but boys Probably the same boys will have their fingernails painted red Yes, it's a throwback and Luckily on the way John a vaccine for methamphetamine abuse well hold on a second Adam. Yes job I understand vaccines are some that are kind of like there's like it has to do with the bacteria or viruses and you inject somebody with a attenuated version and then your body creates immune system response to the real bacteria or virus in it, to knock it out. And that's how vaccine works and that's the definition of a vaccine what bacteria? I'm asking you what bacterial or virus causes methamphetamine abuse

2:28:33 Well John, I'm very sorry that you do not read the Journal of American Chemical Society which sounds really official doesn't it? When you put the word journal in front of it and they have a study that says, Impact of Distinct Chemical Structures for the Development of a Methamphetamine Vaccine. The Journal of American Chemical Society In the paper Kim Janda and colleagues note that methamphetamine use and addiction cost the US more than $23 billion annually due to medical and law enforcement expenses So, can I mention something here that's kind of like ironic maybe? But people who are strung out on meth kind of like it. Yeah they kinda dig it. They don't want a vaccine. Like being strung out on meth is the choice they've made and so they wouldn't take the vaccine to begin with? Yeah you could mention that but see their gonna get a government contract and your going to shoot your kids up with it

French Social Media Rules, Library of Congress Tweets, Outro

French media regulators have banned the mention of "Twitter" and "Facebook" on air unless they are the subject of a news story, requiring reporters to use the term "social networking" instead. The Library of Congress is reportedly archiving all public tweets, which the hosts find suspicious. The episode concludes with a promotion for the "Hot Pockets 2008" summer tour and a sign-off from the Hilltop Watchtower.

2:29:30 That's what this is all for. Oh, I see it to keep your kids from getting sucked into the meth lifestyle again. Exactly right! And then finally and this is something good from Gitmo Nation Stinky Cheese which I thought was actually quite interesting they have the Conseil de l'audiovisuelle. You know what that is? Consul superior the ladies like some department some AV Department for the French government. Yes, it's the The media regulator now France Has very strict rules about what goes on in their media there. And one of the rules is, it has to be... I think it's 80 or 90% of all music played on French radio stations has to be French. Kinda like Canadian they have similar rules So very nationalistic. And actually 80 percent of that has to be Edith Piaf. Edith Piaf! Give me an Edith Piaf song

2:30:35 I can't pronounce any of them. Then Charles Aznavour is the other guy. Downs in the old-fashioned way... Anyway, go on. They've implemented a new rule which i think is really good and I think we should do that everywhere No longer will they be mentioning the brand names Twitter and or Facebook in reports about Twitter and or Facebook unless it's about the company itself. So they're saying, hey these guys are getting a free ride like their utilities like that of water and power company so instead they're going to say social networking

2:31:17 Which I think is good and just. I'm not arguing against it. I think it's pretty darn good that they did that. There seems to be a lot of free publicity for Twitter and Facebook Did you know the Library of Congress is backing up all tweets? Really all tweets? All tweets. Oh good! No it's not good It's a good if I want to find one of my old tweets that just get scrolled off Yeah but why is archive.org an independent organization, why isn't the government backing up the internet Why did they like making tweets... Oh I see what you're saying yeah making Twitter the Internet of record

2:31:56 So we can so yeah, you know it's like I asked them to do it for some reason if you know what I'm saying Yeah Like somebody NSA or whatever.
