About this episode

The News Corp phone hacking scandal intensifies as Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal demands full cooperation with British investigators, signaling a potential fracture in Rupert Murdoch’s media empire. While CEO Rebecca Brooks resigns, UK politicians like Jack Straw leverage the crisis to advocate for statutory press regulation, threatening the future of independent journalism. The fallout suggests an interagency conflict between MI5 and the CIA, with both organizations allegedly planting stories in the British press to influence the narrative surrounding the Benazir Bhutto assassination.

In the United States, President Barack Obama faces scrutiny for claiming his 50th birthday is only a week away despite the date being August 4th, fueling theories regarding his scripted public appearances. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton officially recognized the Libyan Transitional National Council, a move that unlocks billions in frozen assets for rebels currently being transported by NATO aircraft. Domestically, Representative Dennis Kucinich warns of a massive wealth transfer occurring under the guise of debt ceiling negotiations, while Representative Betty McCollum fails to strip NASCAR recruitment funding from the Pentagon budget.

Cultural oddities emerge as an Austrian atheist wins the legal right to wear a pasta strainer in his driver's license photo, cementing the status of Pastafarianism as a recognized satirical faith. Adam Curry reflects on his exclusion from the MTV 30th anniversary despite his history with Headbangers Ball, while George Clooney’s Satellite Sentinel Project conveniently discovers mass graves in Sudan. The episode concludes with a tribute to the late producer Craig William Dukar, who receives a posthumous knighthood for his dedication to the No Agenda community.

No Agenda Episode 322, Hot Pockets 2008 Tour Virginia Meetup

Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak open episode 322 of the No Agenda show, with Curry broadcasting from a mobile RV in Virginia as part of the Hot Pockets 2008 Tour. Curry describes a recent meetup in the Virginia area attended by numerous producers, many of whom claim to hold high-level security clearances or work as government contractors. The hosts discuss the logistics of the RV tour, the local traffic conditions in the DC metro area, and the high concentration of technical and intelligence personnel among their listener base.

So then we have uh....so we arrive here at the Baroness' homestead which is beautiful by the way The Baroness and Mr Smith

05:17 and uh... so that you know this is the there's the dot the rages in a driveway they actually created an entire uh... station to hook up to with the thirty amps and everything with a plug-in and uh... and the water effects of its it's just Have you seen this documentary Catfish? Have you heard about this? No, Catfish the documentary. Yeah so my daughter turned me on to this. Catfish is about... it wasn't intended as a documentary but it's a New York photographer he shares an office with a couple of filmmakers and that's why they turn it into a documentary This guy makes pictures they get published then starts getting these beautiful paintings sent him from seven-year old Abby somewhere like in Illinois somewhere

05:56 And he has this whole ongoing conversation with her mom and then Abby's older sister who he is starting to fall in love with. Then all of a sudden, you start seeing some weird things it turns out that this kid's mom was actually making the paintings and she created 25 fake Facebook profiles in this entire world just to lure this guy or really just have a life essentially And I have to say, like a week or so before we left it's like you know what if we show up and it's like the thing doesn't exist right? It was just a photo shot. That is what I was thinking all along to be honest about it. I was actually hoping for that! Oh shut up yo!

06:37 So, what turns out is it's a million times better. We couldn't have hoped for this! The RV is awesome Maggie's awesome She had a whole dinner for us with cheese fondue and skewers and then chocolate fondue And she was making martinis and cosmos I was so hammered like after one drink and we were smoking cigars out in the back It was just beautiful Then yesterday we had the first official Hot Pockets 2008 tour meetup for the Virginia area for the state of lovers dude John It's like I'm almost regretting not strapping you to the roof and taking along on this trip because you would love this People drove over 200 miles To come to this meet up. He was really amazing

07:30 and we as I was at a seafood place where we had, I think it was blue crab. That make sense? Blue crab? Was it soft shelled? No no hard! We got mallets and everything were like whacking away... There is thing called the blue crab in the area Yeah so we're whacking away at the crabs then we went to I forget all the names but we went to some bar that serves 300 micro brews And there's like 25-30 of us and I have really good news Here's the good news. 70% of the producers who were there yesterday have some form of security clearance, are sysadmins work within the bowels of government or government contractors and could take over portions of the world with one hit of a button

08:21 We are on the inside John, I'm telling you. Every conversation... Yeah, I was looking at a picture of the meetup and seeing at least five guys who were probably running some operation or other and could shut it down in the drop of a hat These guys have like... They're only getting paid so they don't screw these guy's over Right now these guys have like 75 year NDA's How long do we think that people will live in the future is my question We're all gonna be robots? And we're gonna live to 120? So, this is good news. Every single person's like yeah I'd do something over there. It's like could you mess things up? Oh yeah no problem. We also found that JC and I were looking at one picture we found the 1 maybe 2 CIA guys. Anyone with a baseball cap. Yeah it's okay though because they were all kind of playing along even the feds

09:18 Actually, there was one sysadmin who used to work at the Federal Reserve and he left after starting listening starting to listen to our show He's like I can't work here anymore. This is evil this is no good any less So so it's good news because you know look everyone here Is just you know trying to live the American dream right and get by? And just barely paying the rent so they're doing what they have to do But their they are our aunt they're on our side my friend if we need him If there ever was like some spark of revolution our people could make a real difference.

CHAPTER 03 / 31 Discussion

News Corp Phone Hacking Scandal, Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal Interview

The resignation of News Corp CEO Rebecca Brooks and the ongoing phone hacking scandal involving the News of the World newspaper dominate the media landscape. A BBC interview with Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal, the second-largest shareholder of News Corp, reveals his insistence on full cooperation with the British government's commission. The discussion explores the potential for the scandal to be an orchestrated effort to force Rupert Murdoch out of the UK media market and the withdrawal of the News Corp bid for B-Sky-B.

news corp· rupert murdoch· rebecca brooks· bbc· prince al-waleed bin talal· b-sky-b· phone hacking

13:59 Yeah, it's not really work. It's just what we do but how much I'm doing all day long in Collecting stories and preparing for the show because now that you know I haven't had a video kind of traveling We did the meetup and everything it's like whoa You know I just haven't had the time to do everything there's so much information coming in So I got some stuff But uh none of it by the way will make you happy except that i have a few items but go on you might as well start off with it. I was going to say the big kind of in a way, its a distraction because we got to be very careful because the press is now all over this is the Murdoch stuff so yeah so of course um... the uh... the ginger Rebecca Brooks and as we know redheads have no soul

14:49 As Baroness Maggie Vincent pointed out to me who was a redhead Screwed Dvorak. I've got a soul It wasn't my it's those British bastards So she resigned and and no not Maggie no Rebecca Brooks the CEO right, but here's what's interesting so there was a couple stories about the tweeters and You know, because she resigned. I don't know if it was well-timed or what it was but trending on Twitter after her resignation Was like the Harry Potter movie which shows you one of two things either a which is most likely people are so

15:42 anesthetized and so dumbed down that even when this relatively large media event takes place, people are like, yeah it's alright Harry Potter is opening. I don't care about what's going on. I don't care if the news media is corrupt and stealing stuff and hacking phones. It's Harry Potter! The final Harry Potter man but then another terrifying thought that this uh... trending thing on twitter i never use it and all right yeah I know exactly where you're gonna say I'm in total I am very suspicious. Yeah, how could the news of Rebecca Brooks not be trending? Isn't it possible or at least conceivable that Twitter is changing their trending topics by the way if those guys want to make any money ever That's how you do it! And could it be any better than its movie

16:32 Yeah no the other thing i mean we see this in newspapers in fact. Eric DeShill tests this occasionally because he's got some software to do this and he believes that most newspapers that do these little local polls, they twist them. They say, Do you think the president is right in his opinion? And if the paper is a Democrat paper and the area is Republican everyone will say no but the paper will say yes! Of course I mean that's what you do So this trending thing is very suspicious, particularly if news media are actually taking that as like a census poll. Like let's take the temperature of the people and... The news media is going to get what they deserve if they keep this sort of

17:19 laziness up and i believe by the way that in we talk about this is we discuss this uh... murdoch thing a little more i'd believe this entire thing isn't orchestrated hit to get murdoch out of great britain and shut down any sort of bob contrarian now news reporting there so the bbc who of course are completely complicit in this they do or report on Murdoch and the way they do it is they go to hit to the number two shareholder of News Corp which isn't an Arab guy yeah la-la where's me Ali Alibaba

17:58 and i'm i'm gonna skip all of the the preamble cuz they go to con and show the boats in a short you know all this luxury and had just a bit make it look at right now set up so actually trim this down as much as i could see the guys on his boat by the way he looks like a total arms dealer is that the wraparound sunglasses nearly sitting there but the really near if any status rosary beads or whatever and then i rose rebates but got one of those uh... That's beads, yeah beads. You get a note from the director. Yeah he's rubbing the anal beads and the BBC guy is like wow could you hit any more? Cheers thank you very much for having us on board So he's coming onboard now and there's like 8 million people staff it's like oh I met The Prince on an upper deck of his yacht Not just any deck not the Lido Deck! The Upper Deck! Come sit down over here

18:55 We hope that as this thing unfolds, the truth will come out because it's very important for me and my company. What? I'm just saying this guy... For one thing he is being used.. This is his investment and he's being used and he's too dumb to know it! Well there are two things he said That's two pieces of the clip I have The first one will tell you uh... how they operate and the second one will tell you how he operated as a new school since twenty years to to to get this in order at because i think it's to me are uh... that is very important

19:30 I mean there's some terribly unethical things have taken place at News Corporation. Awful things like hacking into the telephone of a murdered teenager, hacking into the telephone of relatives of British soldiers who died in action... I just like to correct you. The problems happened at the news of the world newspaper and not at Newscorp level And I'd like to differentiate between Newscorp conglomerate and the news of the world that was shut down And yeah, unfortunately that these tactics that were used by those tabloid newspapers in the UK Were done not only by news but other newspapers and tabloids also But James Murdoch's in an uncomfortable position isn't he? Because either he knew what was going on... ...and didn't tell the British authorities In which case he is liable perhaps to criminal prosecution Or he didn't know. In which case as a manager He wasn't in control of his own organisation Okay so BBC guy setting him up

20:24 to basically say you're screwed no matter what of course the only reason this guy is doing it because what was he seen ten percent of his investment go down in the past two weeks john ten more and made a note that is maybe maybe ten twelve percent with somebody yeah i don't come out looking good i think we have to wait for the commission uh... that has been appointed by the prime minister and look at those also why should be anticipated and predict and the preempt what they're going to come up with. The facts are going to come out very imminently, and soon hopefully." Okay so what he's saying is fix this in don't worry about it it'll be six months and then I'll be taken care of But what do you think as a major shareholder? You know the second biggest shareholder after Rupert Murdoch himself Now this is beautiful! What have YOU been saying to Rupert Murdoch about whats been happening? How do you think he talks to Rupert Murdoch?

21:12 the he has to be holds like ten percent more on the shortwave by cable no i i do you think what do you think is that how do you think it talks over this isn't this really brought home for me cousin calls a move now and then i'm and worse rupert murdoch murdoch as a pion in the game check it at what i say to mr but not the kind of medical my friends are my allies in uh... in your scope and then my company inside the day about I said to them that you have to cooperate fully and they are going to fully cooperate with the Commission. That has been appointed by the Prime Minister, to dig deep and get the truth out – nothing but the truth! They know exactly my high ethics when it comes to business and frankly speaking from my dealings with them there's nothing but high ethics in the past 20 years

21:55 The B-SkyB was a key part of the strategy for growth of News Corp, wasn't it? It was. It was a key strategy but at the end you have to understand that News Corp is profitable company even without the remaining 61% of B-SkyB. The B-SkyB it's been shelved right now but not dead forever So do you think News Corp might come back and make a bid again for B-SkyB I don't talk on behalf of management Management is Mr. Rupert Murdoch and James Murdoch They are management They are just management. This is how the richest people in the world speak, you know like VCs talk about that? It's just management I don't deal with management But then today this bid has been withdrawn and based on the law in the UK The minimum period to come back is six months and we always have see what happens after six months There you go Are you still there yeah Yeah So it's a

22:52 I've got hello darling. I don't know what to make of it well, I think the You're what you're saying when you know we both think is right is they just want to get rid of him They're sick and tired of him he you know he jumped his own shark and just got too much too big for his britches and uh... it by the end of that well they're also following this strategy to don't let a good crisis go to waste right and so there's piling on the clips that i have today are basically the piling on part but it's not finally on murdoch is filing in the media in general and trying to regulate it

CHAPTER 04 / 31 Discussion

UK Media Regulation Proposals, Jack Straw and Statutory Oversight

British politicians, including Jack Straw, are advocating for independent or statutory regulation of the press following the News Corp scandal. The hosts review clips from Parliament where members argue that self-regulation has failed and that the government must impose stronger systems of oversight. An anecdote is shared regarding Jack Straw's personal history of detaining photographers in his township, framing his current push for media control as a move toward government-managed information flow.

jack straw· media regulation· parliament· statutory regulation· press complaints commission

23:28 Oh yeah, now this is the big commission that they want to start up in the UK and all the press are going like okay we're gonna have rules and regulations. What's going on? Which clips do you have John I'm very curious about this Well i've got a bunch of different clips that show the way... In fact this is from Parliament with... So I've got about three or four douchebag clips Nice uh... but let's start with the do it starts off soft and um... let me see which was a soft one that i have ever been again softly yeah there you go underage can be called on that those on the issue of media regulation

24:12 I prefer to call what i think we need to aim for independent regulation rather than self-regulation. I think self-regulation has got quite a bad name now because it... No, it doesn't! Self radicalization has a bad name! What is he talking about? Self regulation as a bad name?! I'm regulating myself hold on play. on the issue of privacy yes of course this uh... committee's inquiry will look at it there's also the very good work that i know is going to you know what's crazy and you probably didn't hear about this did you know that uh... they were huge cutbacks in the bbc at the bbc world and i don't care about that so they want strike as a big scandal uh... emits learning about it this is how they regulate this is how the government can regulate the the bbc is like oh really well how about if i take away your money bitch

25:29 So anyway, it goes on and on and if he finally cuts it off at some point but in the meantime we have a bunch of other real douchebags come up on regulations. And they just insist on it unless... play Jack Straw our friend Jack Straw uh... the one of the who looks at is just a creepy looking character what it was his title again with us for now he's just a member of parliament but used to be a part of the i think was blare added that only blair it wasn't enough or not foreign affairs there is a foreign good fairies guy happened to unfortunately stumble into his neighborhood uh... with a friend of mine were floating around the uh... country side. The Thames? Were you floating on an inner tube? We're floating around the countryside in England and he says oh this is great thatch, we are both photographers so there's this great town filled with thached roofs it's the number one tourist attraction its the best houses all these thatched roofs joints. We pull in get out of cars to take some pictures at these gorgeous houses surrounded by the army really

26:32 What are you doing here? Why are you here?" And they detained us for over an hour and then we found out later it was Jack. They detained you?! Yeah! They were making phone calls, they had us waiting while they were talking, looking under the car... It was unbelievable and it would turn out this was Jack Straw's little township. And the prick turned his own township which used to be a tourist attraction into some sort of an armed camp that we knew nothing about! I felt that this guy had to be a douchebag to do that so here he is talking about regulating the media. Mr Jack Straw Thank you, Mr Speaker On the issue of future regulation of the press

27:16 May I urge the Prime Minister not to fall into the trap which some in the press are setting, to assert that any degree of statutory regulation is bound to lead to an end of self-regulation. Given that the Express newspapers have actually withdrawn from the Press Complaints Commission, as they did in January will he acknowledge that there may be some measures which will have to be imposed by statute in order that there is a stronger system of self-regulation? I think the right honourable gentleman speaks some very wise words about this There are ways of uh... setting up a regulatory system that is effectively independent non-statutory not involved not with the government's fingertips all over it as it were but they can do a good job and a trusted job at any time some of the advertising yeah yeah now he mentions the advertise in other words you have to newspapers did to be regulated like the advertising industry yet which is regulation

28:12 yeah big-time totally just play one more little clip here on camera non media experts because i thought you get a kick out of this one okay I think the only makes very good point there's no doubt we worked in a regulated industry television where you could be fined if you got something wrong with the company I work for was fined a lot of money once, it has a huge effect on the business. But it's not for us to say what the rules should be, it is for this inquiry and it should be properly advised by experts who understand how the media works. That's right. John, you and I should be on this commission! We should because we understand how the media works Yes yes we understand an-and here are the rules as per John C Dvorak The Honorable Mr. Dvorak and the Honorable Mr. Currey There shall be no ugly chicks presenting the news Actually that would be a pretty good rule Yeah it'd be my rule

CHAPTER 05 / 31 Discussion

Benazir Bhutto Assassination, MI5 and CIA Media Influence

Speculation arises regarding The Times of London and its aggressive reporting on sensitive topics, including claims that the British Crown or intelligence agencies may have been involved in the assassination of Benazir Bhutto. The hosts suggest an interagency war may be occurring between MI5 and the CIA, with both agencies potentially planting stories in the British media. Former Prime Minister Gordon Brown's previous accusations against the Murdoch empire regarding the leak of his medical records are cited as evidence of this ongoing friction.

benazir bhutto· the times of london· mi5· cia· gordon brown· ed miliband

29:05 So the point is this is obviously headed in some direction called regulating the media so you don't, so the government can control uh... the information flow and they gotta get rid of Murdoch. And I realize now that The London Times is really the target here and I'm wondering why if you start looking into it you find some really sketchy stuff they may have been working on including a story about how its possible at The Crown was behind the assassination of benazir buto uh... that would care which happened nine months after a gordon brown god and and i have to you

29:45 and after that, that creep who you played a clip from last week. I don't have a clip from him. Which creep? A political creep? Yeah the head of labor. Oh middle band! Yeah that guy he apparently Budo called him directly said hey they're trying to kill me Don't shoot And he said, oh well you know I don't think we need to help you there. And next thing you know she's assassinated! Whoops So i mean there's something fishy going on and I believe it because if you look at The Times of London they were pretty aggressive in going after some of this stuff that the other papers weren't doing and I also think there may have been an interagency war going on because You know we already know that the CIA populates American newspapers with

30:32 with people that work for them and they plant stories when necessary, why wouldn't they have agents within the British media? And if that's the case... would uh... would they need to be rousted it's interesting you say that cuz i had a couple discussions yesterday and um... you know about uh... politics in show business and the celebrity ambassadors et cetera and then everyone here knows how works you know but this real simple all these guys of handlers and you might talk about all the time john they'll have handlers and uh... did and they just give them the story and his hands particularly their reporters like oh that's a great story thanks let me just go right back

31:12 It's complete, you know this I don't think there's like there's no shills. You know it's just uh you got a handler the guy who calls ya and a tipster um I'm deep throat man And I think if they actually went got to the bottom of it which they won't It's quite likely that the so-called phone hacking that took place wasn't even done by any of the reporters. It could be people out in the field who just needed to leak certain kinds of information and I mean, the thing that last week... People should listen to the last show, the Gordon Brown clip we had on there He accused The London Times of revealing all kinds a very secret information that had nothing to do with phone hacking Where did they get his medical records? Where did they find all this stuff found

31:53 and he blamed the London Times which is part of the Murdoch empire operation. He comes on in a very formal setting and he rants about this, I'm thinking well this sounds like MI5 trying to get rid of CIA or something along those lines...I don't know! And of course the CEO of Dow Jones who published The Wall Street Journal resigned so that rats are leaving the ship and it's over. And they got rid of the Cameron assistant yeah, and actually Rebecca Brooks was arrested this morning she turned herself in but she is under arrest Yeah but the problem is this a huge distraction there's lots of stuff you know Libya hello? You know all there are so many things going on Actually I want to talk about Libya why don't we thank some our producers before we get into it John

Michael Zelina, MTV 30th Anniversary Exclusion

Producer Michael Zelina re-ups his knighthood, prompting a discussion about Adam Curry's legacy at MTV as the network's 30th anniversary approaches on August 1st. Curry notes that he is effectively "persona non grata" at the network and expects to be erased from their historical retrospectives, specifically regarding the Headbangers Ball. The hosts joke about Curry's exclusion from official music history despite his significant role in early cable music television.

michael zelina· mtv· adam curry· ricky rackman· rock and roll hall of fame

32:45 Yeah, good idea.

Hot Pockets 2008 Tour Logistics, Gas Costs and Social Media

The hosts discuss the rising costs of the Hot Pockets 2008 Tour, estimating gas expenses at approximately $250 per day for the RV. They acknowledge producers who have provided gas cards and cash donations at meetups to keep the tour moving. Additionally, they mention the creation of a Facebook page for the tour and list several new domain names registered by listeners that forward to the main show website.

During the meetup lots of people came up with envelopes with beautiful cards and really nice notes and I want to mention all them in the donation segment later on they will be our official Hot Pockets producers but two of them came in with excessive funds which are great and I think it's probably gonna cost about $250 a day in gas alone on the road considering the gas price.

Blagging Terminology, UK Phone Hacking Slang

The term "blagging" is highlighted after being used in the UK Parliament to describe the act of obtaining information through deception or impersonation. The hosts discuss the nuances of the word, which has become a common descriptor for the tactics used in the British phone hacking scandal. They contrast the term with "blogging" and explore its specific cultural context in British law enforcement and media.

46:20 uh... really a base that we need to grow more and six credibly important so your support of course is always welcome for a dot org slash and any i'm telling you on the bed everybody else message animation formula is this people in the mouth so I want to get one last clip in before we go on which is a term i heard in the parliament. Okay and have you ever heard this or is it a common term? Is it a term that we should promote, it's the WTF clip okay is this a term that we should be promoting let's have a listen. Thank You Mr Speaker

47:24 I welcome the Prime Minister's statement and the terms of the public inquiry which she set out, but can i ask if the public inquiry will consider the role that mobile phone companies have played in this scandal? And any future consideration for the responsibilities they might have to their clients and protecting their privacy. I think the Honourable Lady makes a very good point as it were takes two to blag someone to ask and someone to give. Blag! Yeah, yeah. We used to blag and blagging. Yeah that's what this was is blagging? Yeah, I mean it's a guess...I don't know where it comes from but that's the term they invented for this hacking they call it blagging Well I thought blagging was because I heard it again in a different context and it sounds to me as though the definition means to portray yourself as someone you're not

48:12 I have not looked up the definition but that's what you found. It takes two to blag, one the blagger which is a phony and the other one that responds positively to the phony so could you be a blaggered? No he couldn't be a blaggerd maybe yeah you can be a blogger like a blogger but you can't be a bloggerd hey are you a blogger no i'm a blagger oh okay welcome to the show I never heard of it before, they're using it freely. Have you heard the term slog? And slogging? Yeah slogging which means working and dragging your ass through a plug. No no that's a term here in the DC area so they have these slog stops

CHAPTER 11 / 31 Discussion

Slogging and Slug Lines, DC Commuter Culture

In the Washington DC area, a commuter practice known as "slogging" (or slugging) involves drivers picking up strangers at designated stops to meet the three-person requirement for HOV lanes. The hosts compare this to similar carpooling systems in the San Francisco Bay Area. The practice is described as a user-generated movement that allows commuters to reach destinations like the Pentagon more quickly while providing free rides to passengers.

slogging· slugging· hov lane· pentagon· carpooling· dc traffic

48:57 Along the highway because it's so crazy here and they have a three-person HOV lane So you pull off at a slog stop? And then you say I'm going to the Pentagon as one does and then At minimum of two people jump in and then it's like a carpool only is called slogging and have websites for it and all kinds Of stuff. It's really yeah, it's like a bus sharing that we have here in the Berkeley Area without the sandals though and land i never seen the sandals on these are commuters but you know what you do in a c transit area in the morning commute in san francisco is just at the bus stop in some guy would drive up using an ice car like a bmw by himself because he's any gay put two people in the card and he jumps on the freeway negative goes to the carpooling right into the city faster everybody gets over there free so i guess it's similar slugging

49:55 Slogging is a user-generated movement here. I think it's the same thing, we just don't call it something... We don't call it slogging they call it mooching or riot, I dunno. I love how Eric DeShill will post something in the back channel He's like, HotPockets2008.com seems to be down! Yeah you know what I'm gonna go log in right now because i have nothing better to do... You know what the only thing I can think of doing right now is some system administration that's what I mean too awesome so there's a new movie coming out John which was brought to my attention

Contagion Movie, Bird Flu Propaganda and Hollywood MKUltra

The upcoming film "Contagion" is analyzed as a potential propaganda tool for promoting fear of a bird flu pandemic. Featuring stars like Matt Damon and Lawrence Fishburne, the movie depicts a rapidly mutating virus and the subsequent social collapse. The hosts suggest that such films serve to condition the public for future medical mandates. A brief comparison is made to the animated film "Ponyo," which is described as having environmentalist themes.

50:36 Um, you know it's that time of year again. What should we be focusing our attention on? Aliens? No no no no not even close The budget crisis? No no no no no Uhhh...

David and Victoria Beckham, Population Control Criticism

The birth of David and Victoria Beckham's fourth child, Harper Seven, has drawn criticism from environmental campaigners and UK politicians like Caroline Lucas. These critics argue that having large families is environmentally irresponsible as the global population nears 7 billion. The hosts mock the idea that a celebrity family should be a target for population control debates while other regions face declining birth rates.

56:16 who is some sort of a wizard. He's an environmentalist who wants to kill all human beings off the face of the earth, which is kind of reflective of what a lot of environmentalists believe it should be. And he's married to some goddess that runs the oceans and the two of them created goldfish as a child and the goldfish turned into little girl fell in love with this little boy on the outskirts of Japan someplace and they're pro-processing...and this is cartoon Nice and Matt Damon is in it of course the guy isn't all He goes on 30 rock he's on he really is bored. Oh, and he does anything No, you'll do anything that his handlers tell him to do a speaking of Of population control I think when me was the Guardian let me see what was that yeah? It was The Guardian so you know the Beckham's had a new kid right so now they have four

57:14 And here's the article from, I couldn't believe this. Beckhams... By the way, yeah? I understand those kids are actually born with Botox built in. Yeah, yeah. Duh! Hold on a second. Let me get a little ding there. Title of the article, Beckhams A Bad Example For Families David and Victoria Beckham have been overjoyed to welcome their new daughter Harper 7 What is it like a drone What should we name the kid honey? How about Harper 7. Yeah, that's good I like it. I like it Harper seven of nine last week According to a growing group of campaigners the birth of their fourth child make the couple a bad role model and environmentally irresponsible Yes! The Green MP Caroline Lucas

57:59 Says, as the world's population is due to hit 7 billion at some point in the next few days there is an increasing call for the UK to open a public debate about how many children people should have. That's right! Stop having sex! This is not good I think you're asking for... When you call your kid Harper 7, you kind of ask for it. The media's got to get their act together they're talking about the depopulation of Europe because low birth rates and the fact that the whole place can be taken over by high-birthrate cultures from the Middle East on one hand and on the other hand they bitch and moan when somebody actually has more than two kids these people are disgusting yeah

Barack Obama, Birthday Discrepancy and Internal Clock

During a press conference regarding the debt ceiling, President Obama claimed he would be turning 50 "in a week," despite his actual birthday being August 4th, nearly three weeks away. The hosts revisit their theory of "two Obamas," suggesting a programming error or a failure in the President's internal clock. They note his aging appearance and the repetitive nature of his public addresses on the budget crisis.

barack obama· debt ceiling· birthday· gitmo nation· internal clock

58:52 It's not okay. Bad example! It's a beautiful family by the way, but you know I don't know if anybody should be breeding it's people like you know no yeah make more of those including myself but yeah i mean he got a superstar athlete and a woman that's because she can't tell she's pretty or not she's got so much botox on her face but generally speaking you'd think she's attractive she can sing kind of please please chigga So the president, of course one of the presidents once again showed us that at least one of the two Obamas is a drone. I don't know if you caught this right? He did another... how many times does a guy do a press conference about this American Idol thing he's in what's it called oh yeah The Debt Ceiling

59:42 Now, new from Fox it's the debt ceiling. What will happen? Who is going to win? Who will turn out to be awesome? So another round we're in a semi-finals now of the debt ceiling and of course so we know that President Obama was at least one of the Obamas, the campaigning Obama was rebooted in Gitmo Nation East in the UK and he signed his name In the registrar book there at Westminster Abbey Obama 2008 so they just kind of rebooted the whole campaigning program Then he forgot how old his daughter was now This is from two days ago, and I couldn't believe he did that. I mean they've got a tweak the programming I think it might it's a pearl script that has gone awry people like myself

1:00:30 if I'm going to be turning 50 in a week. Really? In a week! Now his birthday is August 4th, so when he said this it was like three weeks How do you get that wrong?! Yeah, you may be onto something here. Well first of all it was your entire thesis that there are two Obamas we did have to swearing-in ceremonies we haven't forgotten right? There were two swearing in ceremonies and there's two different looking guys one was great... And I was like yeah next week doodoo does not compute doodoodo does not compute It's a mean you know what if I mean I understand if it's my I wouldn't say

1:01:13 Yeah, it's my birthday next week. If it's in three weeks I say you know like next month You could say that like couple weeks But why he says he doesn't my birthdays coming up or whatever yeah? but he literally actually three weeks isn't even near your birthday It seems to me when you bring it out, but just listen to the intonation everything It's like he actually believes his next week people like myself if You know I'm gonna be turning 50 in a week in a week no there's three weeks Wow Maybe he's on different, like they still had him on 50 cycles for the UK and then they put him on 60 cycles so his internal clock is running faster. It has got to be something like that I'm sorry this doesn't make any sense to me and by the way this is the gray haired Obama not looking good at all So you tell me He did say something really funny

Revenue vs Taxes, Obama's Salesmanship Tactics

President Obama is criticized for using the word "revenue" as a euphemism for tax increases during debt ceiling negotiations. He claims that 80% of Americans support a "balanced approach" that includes both spending cuts and revenue increases. The hosts liken his rhetorical style to that of a used car salesman, asserting that he is attempting to manufacture consent for higher taxes by framing them as a popular necessity.

1:02:14 uh... page on let me just ask you are you all one of the eighty percent of americans who are completely sold on more on higher taxes i don't know who is so long and what's higher taxes what m what for what it was a ball in mortality tax well here's the guy up the bottom line is that this is not an issue of salesmanship to the american people the american people are sold the american people are sold i don't want to recover we sold two as china were solely this is a whole lot of it shut up jim dot com shot up shot public interest on top job you have eighty percent of the american people who support a balanced approach

Julia Gillard, Scripted Town Hall Questions

Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard is accused of using scripted questions during a televised open forum. A participant named Eliza, who identified as a worker in higher education, asked a question about trust and "backflipping" on policies like the carbon tax. The hosts argue the question was designed to allow Gillard to deliver a rehearsed response, noting the similarity to scripted town hall events held by politicians in the United States.

1:03:54 those poor guys yeah and it's important it's the content of this is really not all that important but We've seen it here where, what was the last time when the president had some woman and she's like I believed in you and then now I don't know how to believe you. And she was scripted right? You and I both sat there watching like oh wow they got some scripted woman and they're gonna refer to that woman time and time again. And you can always kind of see when these shills get up. So Gillard, Julia Gillard whatever her name is

1:04:30 She did an open forum, like a little town hall meeting and this hottie gets up and just listen to the words she's using and tell me this is not a scripted question which by the way the Prime Minister doesn't answer at all. I'm Eliza and i work in higher education Same as the other woman in America, she was a teacher remember? She was a teacher so here's higher education. My question is that I am not sure as an ordinary Australian whatever that means um...that i can trust you Whatever that means because im NOT! ...anymore Im 30 years old, Im a single female

1:05:08 single income, just bought my first home. My parents were flooded in the recent floods I wasn't. My parents' neighbours were flooded in the recent floods and I'm bearing the brunt of your taxes. I have seen you backflip on many things – your determination that you weren't going to overthrow Kevin Rudd, you've backflipped on the carbon tax You have backflipped. You've even done things that in opposition you would have found abhorrent like saying... Abhorrent? Oh yes, thats how everyone talks down there! The only people in the world who use the word abhorrent is you and I John And this is like, Im just a regular ordinary girl, im a single female, im hot.. Im not married by the way so please turn your brain off and just think of stopping me Send asylum seekers to Malaysia

1:05:59 My question is fairly simple. How can anyone trust you with this record? Because I don't think I can anymore So and then of course the Prime Minister goes on to say, well... Okay well I can answer that question it's not an easy question but i'll have a go at it Yeah! I'l just read the script The script we agreed on prior to this Now go back and get your batteries recharged so i just wanna like this backflip term actually yeah we would say flip-flop and there is a bad flop or yeah that's what was when we came up with the best because it also promotes a product so that's a good thing it's always good you can sell something but their backup doesn't really promote any products by like it says this makes me look like if she is she'll be visualize of porpoise at the top of another water and put them over

Libya Transitional National Council, US Recognition and Funding

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton announced that the United States officially recognizes the Transitional National Council (TNC) as the legitimate governing authority of Libya. This recognition allows for the transfer of billions of dollars in frozen Libyan assets to the rebel council. The hosts criticize the media's portrayal of the rebels, noting that TNC ministers are being transported in C-130 aircraft and are requesting $3 billion in immediate aid, while civilian casualties from NATO drone strikes remain largely unreported.

1:06:48 So there was a poodle. I love you know, I've always wanted to have a dog a poodle that could do backflips so i'm really Dismayed and I need some help from our producers Of course we got over 200 now at noagentonewsnetwork.com We've got a lot of people posting there which flows into the stream, at noagentonstream.com So Lucifer Clinton is out on the road again By the way she's on the road with Cathy The High Priestess of Europe The high representative Aston! Aston! Baroness Aston And so what is shitty, sorry for the language there. She's in Turkey and apparently no news media can go to Turkey and cover this you know the most evil person in our government which is Lucifer Hillary Clinton So I'm dependent upon whatever snippets they put up at state.gov and the Turkish television which is unusable un-understandable because let me think oh yeah it's in Turkish

1:07:47 and you have to know that i'm trying to like look through sites in tryna find a just a clip of her really talking because the united states of get more nation now officially recognizes that the transitional national uh... committee of libya we were aware of our yeah and uh... anyway and i'm really bummed because the state department deal they don't have their final cut pro i think using by movie or maybe cotton pasting quick time and uh... so that's what i use yeah exact what sounds like something you would have edited and so they pay there so solution for comes out in turkey and she spent his life preamble and she says something then they cut away from it and and i know is going to be really funny had no idea what he said and then she has goes into a whole thing so here's that listen to the preamble and you're not always i wish we could've heard everything she said and then listened to how she now recognizes these douchebags

1:08:43 I get a little it that's it right you know there was something there okay okay hi do you like my hair? The assurances the TNC offered today reinforce our confidence that is the appropriate interlocutor for United States in dealing with Libya's present and addressing Libya's future. That is why I announced earlier that until an interim authority is in place, the United States will recognize the TNC as the legitimate governing authority for Libya. And we will deal with it on that basis." Now what does this mean exactly? Well... We have a member of the TNC

1:09:24 who by the way fly around in a C-130, you'll only hear this in the clip and it's very confusing because there is this whole BBC report they show these guys with white masks and they're the rebels and they've got AK47s You know, they look like Dad's Army for those of you who would know. But it looks very highly unorganized and this is only to give you the idea that they're rebels meanwhile we've got drones killing people in Tripoli hundreds of children there shooting up school houses hospitals...You don't see any of that! No no no We are going to show a bunch guys in the desert walking backwards

1:10:05 And then they fly in on a C-130 and they're pretending like they're landing on a desert road, which by the way is a huge runway. I can tell that there's been a converted desert road and highway but okay whatever this is how these guys get around They are not sitting there in the dugout or hide out no...they get flown in on a c-130 and of course these are guys who were all educated in Pennsylvania So it time to talk to the regime? A plane carrying rebel ministers from Benghazi lands on a mountain road converted into an air strip. Bullcrap!

1:10:40 Gaddafi and his family have to leave unconditionally. This is a Libyan this is a Libyan rebel I don't know if any the guy sounds like a wannabe broadcaster from Des Moines, Iowa He sounds like that guy that homeless guy who it was that voice talent. Oh Yeah, yeah, this is what he's doing now, yeah eyes are on Hey, hello everybody you officially in the cabinet that I represent That look into or believe that we are ready to now whatever so they so the guy is fluency your version of an Arab accent. I Can't even do it like that So this is he's one of the ministers and of course this juju jabril is another Pennsylvania educated shill

1:11:29 And what is it all about? Well, what does the support really mean? What does it really come down to? It comes down to the money that was stolen that we're now going to give these guys. Now what would it cost... I'm thinking John if you and I said hey let's go overthrow this government in the desert How much money would we need for that? He told us that what they're in need most of right now is funding. That this council has been promised for the past few months $700-800 million dollars, they've been given assurances and credit lines from countries that have frozen assets that belong to Libya

1:12:25 that they have not received those funds, that they need those right away. In fact he said they need at least three billion dollars in aid immediately! They need it as quickly as possible in order to try and establish the democratic institutions and reforms of the international community and the Libyan rebels are so desiring for Libya!" I love it. Hey give me 3 billion dollars So of course this has now been decided, this is how it works. Hey we don't play you do deals with the Chinese guess what? We're taking all your money that you have in our banks uh...we're gonna call out by the way it's thirty three billion nice number and then were going to have a buncha guys fly around in a C-130 with a bunch of other guy shooting AK 47 into the dust

1:13:08 And then we're going to take three billion dollars, another nice magic number. You take three billion dollars and yeah... We got an office for the European Union in Benghazi. Shame on all news media! Where are the pictures of the dead children and dead civilians that these hellfires have caused? And the drones flying around just shooting people with missiles up their butt?! You don't see any of that!! This is truly wag-the-dog Truly! And, you know... So they're gonna give these guys a thanks for playing along. Here's three billion I wonder what will happen to the other 30? It was disgusting to me Yeah the thirty billion is going to vanish that's for sure

Grandma Karma, Ron Paul and End the Fed

A listener request for "emergency karma" for a sick grandmother is granted, followed by a donation from Mat Jones, who includes a note about marking "End the Fed" on currency. Jones also promotes a Twitter bot that uses the Unix fortune command and requests karma for Ron Paul. The hosts discuss the upcoming tour stop in North Carolina and the various gifts, such as bumper stickers and tattoos, received from producers on the road.

Asheville North Carolina, Barbecue Styles and SheVille

As the Hot Pockets tour heads toward Asheville, North Carolina, the hosts discuss the region's famous barbecue styles and local culture. They mention a website called "SheVille" and joke about the city's reputation. The segment transitions into a final knighting ceremony for David Hewitt and the late Craig William Dukar, officially welcoming them to the No Agenda Roundtable.

CHAPTER 21 / 31 Discussion

New York Times, Saturday vs Sunday Editions

An analysis of the New York Times suggests that the Saturday edition contains more substantive news for "insiders," while the Sunday edition focuses on sensational or outdated stories. The Sunday paper featured a front-page story on bath salts, a topic the hosts claim to have covered years ago, and a piece on Michele Bachmann's husband. In contrast, the Saturday edition covered the $30 billion backing of Libyan rebels and the Whitey Bulger case in greater detail.

new york times· bath salts· michele bachmann· whitey bulger· media analysis

1:28:44 She doesn't know what she's walking into. She's like, yeah that'll be great and here's where you sleep What? Yeah, do it right around when you're in Missouri or around Illinois when it's nice and warm. John's gonna harm the Sunday Times Well, okay. So you forced me to do this I do want to bring up the fact now that I'm convinced in Saturday Times is where it's at I'm cool with that You can do the Saturday times and but I was just give an example here's the Sunday Times They got it right here Egyptian Miller they do have a couple stories Egyptian military old news Egyptian military moves to cement a muscular role in government talk about old news below The fold on the Sunday Times today which goes out This probably the biggest distribution they have of any of the papers

1:29:34 They have an alarming new stimulant sold legally, this is a front page. Sold legally in many stores and they're talking about these bath salts Wait a minute! They're just now getting into that? Can you believe it? And this is front page We've been talking about this for how long like two years?! It's unbelievable What are these guys just full of the turnip truck Well maybe they finally got some stock at these companies and now their ready to promote it And then they have a little piece on the Murdoch thing and then above the fold, a horrible photo of a guy on a bicycle looking at the freeway beneath him as though it's bad.

1:30:13 and battle over charter school shifting the affluent suburbs another non-story and then at the beneath the fold, last one for Bachman gay right there you know they're going after Bachmann's husband yeah this whole thing is kinda weird it's like first of all because he's...for one thing he exhibits he exhibits a characteristics being extremely gay totally. He's like one of those foot shufflers he looks like a gay guy to me yeah it's not a beer and talk uh... my bike curious gene little over the top gay okay i'm not that is a bad thing but uh... you wonder about her so uh... she likes this guy because of goofball so what is it a trend is slam him so that there's some who cares nobody really cares so here's the saturday times

1:30:59 I mean this is good stuff. There's a whole good article on Obama signaling support for the various measures in the budget, number one front page story Libyan rebels get formal backing at $30 billion dollars? A whole story on the Libya thing that you said wasn't covered is on The Saturday Times two top officials... Yeah but hold on a second not covered but I want the video! I wanna hear what she actually said not some interpretation just saying they covered it To top it, some real serious stuff about the press scandal. Misery follows as Somalis try to flee hunger there's another thing going on in Kenya and Somalia. Watch how they pull the money away from the SEC and finally a voice for those silenced in the mobsters reign about Whitey Bulger all good stories and some good photos and it's like The Saturday Times is where its at

1:31:56 So something's up with that. Well there is a problem because we only have a jingle for the Sunday Times No, it's okay I will do the Sunday Times but i'm going to point this out because I think there still are something in their for the public but I think for the insiders or the spooks and people who need to get word Oh right they got to read Saturday times Does that conclude our segment? Yeah John's gonna hum the Saturday Times! Hey, Clooney is back in the picture just in the nick of time. He probably had to go back to class Well no he has his movie coming out where it runs for president or whatever and now that Sudan is its own country under great cheer of thousands of people

George Clooney, Satellite Sentinel Project in Sudan

Actor George Clooney's Satellite Sentinel Project is credited with discovering mass graves in Sudan just as South Sudan achieved independence. The hosts express skepticism about the timing of these discoveries, suggesting the project serves as a tool for Western intervention. They compare the media's celebration of Clooney's activism to the training of "rebel" forces in various conflict zones, which they view as highly staged for public consumption.

george clooney· sudan· satellite sentinel project· mass graves· time magazine

1:32:44 uh... you remember he started that satellite project the sentinel project to monitor it so he could spy down and make sure people yeah they found a big graveyard oh no not coincidence all of a sudden we have to move in and take over south sudan coincidence? I think not! man, i can't believe it. I was looking at the pictures on my Sentinel Project and just as all this takes place I can't believe-I'm so lucky I find a mass grave and Time Magazine is like, uh you know we were the first ones to write about Clooney's project. Yeah duh they're like patting themselves on the back

1:33:29 This is how it did. Are we really the only people who see this, John? Are we really the only ones that we have a lot of listeners that are dead see it and observe it occasionally by but in terms of mainstream media It's like you're not only oblivious they don't really give a crap now say it's not enough We're too busy looking at dad's army in the desert So stupid, you gotta see this video it's linked in the show notes at 322.nashownotes.com so they got all these rebels they have white masks on and I've seen this exact same thing in Iraq when I was there when they're training the Iraqi police forces and army and say I saw the same

1:34:16 Florida I wanted a documentary about you know those Cubans who are all ready to go back and these guys like 80 now and And they you know, they train every weekend because one day it'll be their turn to go back and take Cuba back from Castro And they hang out in the woods once a week and practice their military skills. And she would have like, a lieutenant going, face! And half the guys turn left, the other half turn right... It's sad that people actually will look at this news reporting and go, ah man those rebels. This whole rebel thing is such a crock. Well we're gonna see it in Syria now

CHAPTER 23 / 31 Discussion

Anti-Psychotic Medications, Dr. Drew and Abilify

The United States has seen a massive surge in the use of anti-psychotic medications, with Abilify becoming a top-selling drug. The hosts criticize Dr. Drew Pinsky for allegedly promoting Abilify for off-label uses on his show "Celebrity Rehab," such as treating alcoholics and drug addicts. They review NIH data on the drug's intended use for schizophrenia and mania, questioning the ethics of prescribing it to patients in detox centers.

abilify· dr. drew· anti-psychotics· schizophrenia· celebrity rehab· nih

1:34:58 That's happening. Yeah, there is no stopping it Al Jazeera actually had a pretty interesting article of course we know that this is financed by Qatar and its MI6 But its kind of interesting has America become a nation of psychotics? Is the question. Yeah, you would like it? Yes! You would certainly think so based on the explosion in the use of anti-psychotic medications In 2008 with over 14 billion dollars in sales Anti-psychotics became the single top selling therapeutic class of prescription drugs United States surpassing drugs used to treat high cholesterol and acid reflux And this is of course a problem...is that everyone here's doped up

1:35:44 That's why, you know of course we're not getting the pictures of riots in Ireland, riots in Greece, protests in Portugal. My goodness Italy! We missed this one. One of our producers in Italy said did you notice how Italy said we're not going to participate in the Libya bombings anymore, we're not gonna get- We're not gonna participate in supplying them weapons. The next day... Oops! You're downgraded bitch! Moody's downgraded him, austerity measures like everything what? Hold on a second this is like this is it and America was just like yeah man give me another pill

1:36:26 Give me one of those Abilify, which by the way if you we've been watching Dr. Drew what is it Celebrity Rehab have you ever watched that show? I can't stand it! You gotta watch this first of all in every episode I know at least one person who's on it which is kind of interesting like Steven Adler from Guns N' Roses But so these people are there to get off of drugs, but Dr. Drew keeps handing out Abilify to them I don't understand how that works isn't Abilify isn't that too enhance whatever anti-psychotic drug you're on can just give that as a standalone?

1:37:04 Yeah, you can give it as a stand-alone. We run ads for Abilify twice on this show and they sell it just straight up But they always say if you're on a drug and you need a boost It's like a rocket booster then you take Abilify to help what your'e on but why is Dr Drew prescribing this to alcoholics and druggies? Well I don't know, right here from the National Health NIH.gov it's used to treat symptoms of schizophrenia. Yeah well okay! Let me just read this is kind of interesting Of course the page just changed. Let me go back I've heard it three times now where Dr Drew says you know, you really got to take your Abilify You've gotta take your meds Really? This is bad! Let's read from the NIH.gov site The name of it is Arapipirazole Oh shoot John, crap Hold on a second

1:38:05 I don't know if we're still streaming or not. I just had something bad happen, hold on... Are we still recording? I don't know if we're recording! I don't know anything Let me see.. I don't know for recording, I don't know it was just an interface crash... I will fix and then figure out what happened Hold on let me just see if- It takes a second for everything to- Can anyone hear me?! Hello!? If that thing crashed in the recording We could be in deep shit. Hold on... Somewhere out there will have backup No, we're still working. Oh amazing yay for Unix okay? We're still good okay so this from the NIH gov site

1:38:49 It's used to treat the symptoms of schizophrenia and then it says in parents a mental illness that causes disturbed or unusual thinking loss of interest in life and strong or inappropriate emotions In adults and teenagers 13 years of age and older is also used alone, or with other medications to treat episodes of mania Okay. Well that makes sense because they're all maniacs on that show But I don't think it's right for does it say anything about can be use for detox? I'm going to open up the main page and see if it does. I am not seeing it. That's weird man, anyway so its pretty clear... Not approved for the treatment of behavior problems in older adults with dementia

1:39:31 Let me just do a search for would be alcoholism or what these people are either alcohol addicts Or heroin addicts, or we had one guy you remember Leaf Garrett remember him yeah I do remember the movie this he became a steroids addict Oh, jeez. You should know that alcohol can add to the drowsiness caused by this medication doesn't say it stops you from drinking and not drink alcohol while taking so Dr Drew is basically just a shill salesman for Abilify It's disgusting I'm telling you this is wrong Well that's terrible through what you say is true well I'm not gonna lie to you I've heard I've heard doctor do say it several times on the show at the Pasadena Detox Center

1:40:19 Please chigger. So this is one of those what it would they and what's the term when you use a drug for some other reason? There's a not an awful label You mean off-label uses it sounds like the means using as an off label Well, he shouldn't be propagating that here's a doesn't seem right other uses for this medication says the medication may be Here's the here's the kicker this medication may be prescribed for other uses ask your doctor or pharmacy for more information. Ask Dr Drew for more information on how Abilify can help you kick the habit! Here's an interesting little contraindication, you should know that you may experience hyperglycemia increase in blood sugars if your schizophrenic are more likely to develop diabetes than people who do not have schizophrenia

1:41:07 And taking similar or dissimilar medication may increase the risk. This whole thing, this drug is... This is great! It's a bad drug So they had this one chick who was in uh I don't know like some Chinese fighting movie Her name is Lingling or something Or Baling or Boo-Ling Like she has been in one movie What was the guy who died? Bruce Lee. Not Bruce Lee, but was it his son? Didn't we have another movie where someone died? Yeah, Brandon Lee. Brandon Lee right so she was in that movie she's allergic to alcohol right so she so she can't what's the problem well so she's trying because she drinks and then she just keeps on drinking.

CHAPTER 24 / 31 Discussion

Haiti National Stadium, Lady Gaga and Refugee Displacement

The Haitian government reportedly paid 30 families $250 each to vacate their temporary shelters in the National Stadium in Port-au-Prince to make room for upcoming events. The hosts speculate that the stadium is being cleared for a Lady Gaga concert or similar high-profile entertainment, despite the families having lived there since the 2010 earthquake. This displacement is framed as a prioritization of the "new upper crust" over the city's displaced poor.

haiti· lady gaga· national stadium· port-au-prince· earthquake refugees

1:43:13 I went down to all these folks who are living there at the National Stadium and said here's 250 bucks get out because we need to have events here now. They need concerts, I guess Lady Gaga is coming so they got a kick all these poor people out and of course $250 for two Haitians that's like you know a year's wages. So just taking this money so that they can have events That's so screwed up. They're having Lady Gaga? Are you sure is that where it just may be? I'm not sure but i guarantee you, it could happen. No! I'm sure it could in fact I can just imagine it It is this from Associated Press

1:43:53 People began moving off the parking lot at the National Stadium in the capital Friday after Haiti's government paid them to clear out off-the-spot that has been their home since last year's earthquake. This is 18 months now, At least 30 families cleared their belongings from tents and shelters left for unknown destination And let's see if they say whose coming so give him $250 each but it's for events our plan has not started yet Let me see if I'll bet you 10 bucks Lady Gaga's doing a show there. Well, I'm looking for it right now and not seeing a show but she is big in the Haiti relief. Yeah with them over this you got to sell more bracelets

1:44:36 So she can move down, she can go to take this location. You relocate all these bums from the stadium and give her concert for what's left of the upper crust over there they can... What do you mean what is left? The new upper crust that is developing. All mostly white people from United States looking for hotels to stay in their little monsters Yeah And yeah, you're probably right we'll keep an eye on that I'd like to see what she has to say when she's in that stadium Sad What you got man? You got a couple more things here we can listen to. Yeah, let me I gotta cut there's an idiot! I didn't realize how dumb this woman was the name is Betty or Betsy one of the two McCollum from Minnesota she is a she's a Democrat from Minnesota and she kept she keeps getting up during the budget crisis thing bitching about the fact that they made the army in their national guard a couple other people have race cars in NASCAR

CHAPTER 25 / 31 Discussion

Betty McCollum, NASCAR Recruitment Funding Debate

Minnesota Representative Betty McCollum is mocked for her performance during a budget debate regarding Pentagon sponsorships of NASCAR racing. McCollum argued that the $20 million investment in motorsports is an ineffective use of taxpayer money for military recruitment. The hosts focus on her verbal slips, including a reference to "high grass prices" instead of gas prices, and the overwhelming rejection of her amendment by her colleagues.

betty mccollum· nascar· pentagon· recruiting· minnesota· budget amendment

1:45:37 so waste of the taxpayers money she says it doesn't do any good but she's illiterate and she's actually like a berkeley hummer and she can barely read her own script and just play the idiot from minnesota clip part one volunteer military i disagree but I respect their passion despite the fact there is no evidence to demonstrate that motorsport program is effective in recruiting. And that's why my amendment maintains a significant investment in motorsport sponsorships, $20 million to allow the Pentagon to demonstrate to us and taxpayers it does work! As members of Congress we must do better jobs exercising our oversight over the Pentagon's recruiting budget

1:46:24 right now seventy five percent of americans ages seventeen to twenty four years of old age is a symbol are not qualified let me repeat it please seventy-five percent young americans ages two seventeen to twenty five years point for your soul and i'm not qualified to serve in the armed forces semi father of people as we have been told them has been about but she sounds like she might be plastered by the way she reads it. Play the idiot from North Carolina, Minnesota's... She actually says the problem with high grass prices. Oh yeah this is what Obama does right? Rail raise! This is a new thing. I think there was a bad batch of meds they hand out to all these people including the president and its slurring their speech

1:47:17 Yeah. And this majority is cutting investments in energy efficiency and high grass prices. I urge my colleagues to support this amendment, and to limit the motor ship sponsor racing to $20 million dollars. Thank you Mr. Chairman. she can't see that i mean this is the listen to this and they get a good composite of her all those saying in front of show he's great the idiocy of this woman is being on it's not beyond believe me here that last bit that the motorsport racing what did but uh... we do it let me hear that again since you have high gas prices as my colleagues to support this amendment and to limit the motorship

1:48:16 sponsor racing to twenty dollars listen chairman stop that motor ship because more ships sponsoring a motor ship sponsored racing leads the high grass prices let's vote on that wow i by the way the speaker of the guys handling the gavel and the guy who is the head of the committee basically one inch away from breaking up laughing. Oh man! And then of course everybody turned down her stupid amendment that was like people say yes, zero it's just crickets and then no NO! And so she gets back up and demands a roll call. Man oh man

CHAPTER 26 / 31 Discussion

Dennis Kucinich, Debt Debate and Wealth Transfer

Representative Dennis Kucinich delivered a speech on the House floor arguing that the debt ceiling debate obscures a fundamental transfer of wealth from the American public to a small elite. Kucinich cited the costs of wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Libya, as well as the role of the Federal Reserve and insurance companies in hollowing out the economy. The hosts praise his directness, comparing his stance to that of Ron Paul, and note that such perspectives are rarely highlighted in mainstream media.

dennis kucinich· c-span· federal reserve· military spending· wealth transfer· wall street

1:49:00 She's from St. Paul, one of the more... Yeah it is a great I mean there are people who are great there. It is a cosmopolitan area and they have her representing them? They should be embarrassed! So Dennis Kucinich is on a roll. This is something, by the way... I got off C-SPAN Of course I can't watch C-SPAN easily in real time and really of course this was just the beginning of the tour so it's been very difficult for me but I was able to peruse around on the C-SPAN video library Don't go just go to CSPAN.org There's a little button up there top right and its called their video library

1:49:37 And a little secret I'll let you in on, you can actually search the transcripts. So you can search for stuff... It's quite good! Every once in awhile one is missing Yeah what was that? You know someone asked me that the other day What was that? Remember when we were looking for something and it wasn't there? Yeah there are bunch of them that are missing. It's not just one or two And by the way, the transcripts are very poor. And by the way when you find them there's missing clips and I forgot what it was this is about six months ago so i can't remember the details but I found a missing clip because I knew this guy with something I want to get in on and it was a missing clip came oh sorry no clip and he said please report so use your write-in note yeah and then they never get back to you of course not! If you wanna download them its like 15 bucks

1:50:27 I can buy some utilities that'll do it. And i just record the audio, I know how to do that yeah we only do the audio. Yeah it's just like wow all right so Dennis Kucinich is in the uh in the big American Idol semi-finals of The Deficit Debate and he comes out and he lays it on the line and I gotta say you know is ron paul in a democratic jacket it's fantastic and by the way just as cookie that's why he's marginalized so i know one cares why the newsroom media doesn't report but this isn't you know this like a senior guy is an easy from uh... forever he ran for president had his is a little real guide with really something to say you don't hear this anywhere except two-and-a-half minutes of shut up and listen to it and he just lays out the way it is the rankerous debate over the debt

1:51:20 belies the fundamental truth of our economy. That it is run for the few at the expense to many, that our entire government has been turned into a machine which takes the wealth of massive Americans and accelerates it into the hands of a few Let me give you some examples Take war War takes money from American people and puts it into the hands arms manufacturers or war profiteers The war in Iraq, based on lies $3 trillion will be the cost of that war at least. The war in Afghanistan based on a misreading of history half a trillion dollars in expenses already. The war against Libya will be a billion dollars by September 50% of our discretionary spending goes for the Pentagon A massive transfer of wealth into the hands of a few while the American people lack sufficient jobs

1:52:30 health care, housing retirement security. Our energy policies take the wealth from the American people and put it into the hands of the oil companies we could be looking at a hundred fifty dollars a barrel for oil in the near future our environmental policy takes the wealth of the people clean air clean water and puts it in their hands to the polluters to transfer wealth

1:53:07 not only from the present, but from future generations as our environment is ruined. Insurance companies what do they do? They take the wealth from the American people in terms of what they charge people for health insurance and put it into the hands of a few We have to realize what this country's economy has become Our monetary policy through the Federal Reserve Act 1913 privatized money supply gathers the wealth puts it in hand of a few Well, the Federal Reserve can keep creating money out of nothing. Give it to banks, the park it to Fed and our small businesses are starved for capital Mark my words Wall Street cashes in whether we have a default or not Love that! The guy's good Yeah nobody pays any attention to him Of course not He obviously has the right constituency because they keep putting him back in office

1:54:08 you know so they love him and his local guys. And the same thing with Ron Paul, you know people love him but yeah and they're probably all pretty knowledgeable about what's going on because these two are two of the few I mean there's probably a couple other guys i'm sure or hope in congress that tell it like it is to their people They tell like it is to the public at large and nobody pays any attention to them. I mean they're on whatever they're told to be on. I'm amazed that they didn't pull that clip off of C-SPAN. So you know there's something Baroness Maggie said to me the other day which kind, he was talking about the insurance companies and just to give you an idea how it works so she, Maggie's amazing she has like eight million cats

CHAPTER 27 / 31 Discussion

Veterinary Insurance, Healthcare Scams and Pet Care

An anecdote about rising veterinary costs for Baroness Maggie Vincent's three St. Bernards leads to a discussion on the impact of insurance on service pricing. The hosts argue that the introduction of pet insurance has caused vet bills to skyrocket, similar to how health insurance and the Affordable Care Act have allegedly inflated human medical costs. They describe a system where insurance companies and providers gouge the public, leaving those without coverage to rely on high-interest credit cards.

veterinary bills· pet insurance· obamacare· saint bernard· credit cards

1:54:55 and three huge dogs. I don't know, are they the St. Bernard's? I think they're St. Bernard's. Nobody has three St. Bernards. Baroness Maggie has three St. Bernard's with like the rum underneath their chin and everything. Yeah, well one will kill you that's Sherman. We stay... Sherman stays behind the fence. Sherman is very crazy buzzkill he's very cranky And the other two, you know like you go in and they're so happy to see you but it hurts when she's sniffing your crotch. It's like boom! So anyway Maggie is crazy about animals and

1:55:38 And she's saying you know, especially with dogs you got to take them to the vet. She said it got all of a sudden my vet bills went through the roof and she tried to figure out why the veterinarians all of a sudden were asking so much money for their treatment do you know what it is? It's when they started offering insurance for your pets. Yeah. So everyone has insurance this is kind of uh this is the biggest scam and I mentioned this on the show before I'm going to do one more time I'm on an insurance plan and I track the drug costs, the price of various drugs. And once Obamacare went in the drugs that used to cost like $50 or a hundred dollars let's say that you would only pay ten bucks for because it came out of the insurance company paid an extra ninety bucks

1:56:26 all of a sudden went to 300 bucks. You still paid the 10 bucks, but now the insurance companies are gouged for the rest of it. This is the reason why people out there who are all you know we should fend for ourselves. We should either get rid of the insurance companies and let things go back to 100% free enterprise free market and get no insurance except for you know catastrophes none of this bull crap co-paid garbage which is what's killing us or go to single-payer where somebody one person the government says hey this is too expensive forget it she also said that they have credit cards at the doctor so if you can't if you're not on the insurance scam then they'll give your credit card with like yeah eighteen percent interest and if you miss a payment thirty

1:57:14 But this is so it's analogous to the scam that is the insurance industry for what you're talking about. No wonder we're sniffing bath salts! I need to up my Abilify here It's a complete ripoff and nobody is doing anything about it. The Democrats are also happy that they've made people buy insurance, which makes the scam worse and the Republicans have no solution to this as far as their concern there should be kind of half insurance half non-insurance let people die on the streets seriously so both parties are not addressing this at all you know one side is all you know we should just be a little too bad if u give the can't afford it or do not pay too much to the two its ridiculous let your dog die well i know they've been veterinary thing has gone completely out of control yeah he says that was looking at chat room the baroness s twelve hundred dollars for an x-ray on our saint bernard really yeah that is a total scam uh... is images taken through their part

CHAPTER 28 / 31 Discussion

Eurozone Crisis, Euro Bonds and Greek Bankruptcy

The ongoing financial crisis in Europe is analyzed through the lens of the Lisbon Treaty and the proposed "Euro bonds." Ministers in the European Parliament debate whether the crisis is a debt issue or a political failure of the monetary union. While some argue that the EU has prevented a total Greek collapse, others suggest that the bailouts are primarily designed to protect German and French banks rather than the Greek people.

eurozone· lisbon treaty· greece· euro bonds· moody's· european parliament

1:58:22 So anyway, I'm going to up my prediction John on the default. I've been following what's happening in Europe. I have a couple of clips from the douchebag ministers now that here is what is going to happen this and I think we talked about this maybe two shows back this concept of the euro bond so that's now come into play everyone talking about the euro bond. Just it to recap in the Lisbon Treaty which is what really started me getting interested in any of this stuff. I was like, hey hold on a second what does this Lisbon Treaty? Oh it's some document nobody wanted like the Constitution and then they just pulled it apart and called it a treaty and shut up! Shut up slaves just vote oh you can't vote pass it

1:59:08 So this whole thing is falling apart but in the Lisbon Treaty it specifically said there will be no bailouts if a country goes under. So of course what happens? Oops! The country goes under and the money that is owed, is owed to banks not other countries but other countries' banks and it is absolutely now my belief that moody's or standards and poor will downgrade the united states you know on the last show you said it's never gonna happen when I listen to dennis kucinich say make no mistake wall street wins

1:59:48 Either way and I believe that to be true, and then I hear a guy who I kind of followed for a while Jim Rogers He's an investor. He's he actually left the United States or yeah lives in Singapore Yeah The guy is off the deep end but go on here's little him on Russia today Who by the way they're doing auditions again Russia today? Please please Russia today These women are no good this is like oh I mean Maggie's dogs are cuter than this woman on Russia Today. And you know the thing is that it's not that there aren't a lot of attractive women from Eastern Europe

2:00:28 Tons of them and I just want to reiterate crawling with them. I just want to reiterate Jim when we talk like this John And I are only speaking as television executives We understand this stuff if you're gonna be in the douchebag ratings game You got to get hot women otherwise why bother they're not doing it for news Anyway, Jim Rogers is on and he says something kind of interesting from Singapore. Mr. Rogers Thank you very much for being here with us in the program well Well, as we know this isn't the first time budget talks have stonewalled. But differences have always been overcome Why is Moody picking now to review the U.S. rating?

2:01:04 Marina, you're asking an extremely good question. The US rating should have been downgraded years ago I don't know why they are just now getting around to it but we know that the rating agencies don't have much of a clue about anything They got everything wrong in subprime and they've gotten everything wrong for a long time I don't know why they don't understand what's going on Exactly! Because it is all... It's a game! I can't believe that the most powerful man in the world, the President of United States Can't just pick up the phone and say to Moody's Hey You're not gonna downgrade and is using it as some kind of weapon, they're going to downgrade. We're getting an AA- or something... It's gonna happen! No I'm stakes stickered by predictions bullcrap this is all brinksmanship no we're gonna raise the debt ceiling but regard we're still gonna get the downgrade? NO! Okay alright well see will see let's there was a program on the BBC one of our producers Robert from Gitmo Nation warm beer

2:02:02 uh... records of clips in the bbc parliament program the record europe around table discussion of european issues by ministers of european parliament so let's go to the dead douche at from below lands this is a i know her and met her actually yes sofia in itself she tries to be do-gooder but not here's that here's your take as you say we don't have a debt crisis We do not have a Greek problem. We have the European problem, we don't even have a debt crisis, we do not have financial crisis, we have a political and institutional crisis because there you'll be surprised to find that I agree with you The big mistake we made at the start is creating a monetary union without a political union It's like having the dollar zone without government in Washington That's essentially what we've created and i disagree with your view if you say that

2:02:56 that things went well, I think it is fairly dramatic that for the last year and a half the political leaders of the Eurozone and wider Europe have been unable and unwilling to take decisions. Can you imagine? The kind of debate we are having... as bad if not worse as in Europe. California, a much bigger economy than Greece has been on the verge of bankruptcy for years and yet I do I do not hear anybody calling the Californians names and saying that they're lazy, it's their culture and we should kick them out of the dollar zone. That is the difference! People have confidence in the dollar because they know there is a government behind it In Europe people don't have confidence The markets are testing our political will And that is what we'll have to prove No, no...that's not why It's because we've got better drugs over here lady I think she...I like what she said

2:03:56 Well, in that regard it's true. But what she is shilling for is more power! We need more power to tell the slaves what to do. I thought the backstory with what she was saying was the British idea that this whole thing should be dissolved No, no. She's all for it. She is a pro-EU woman? I think she actually acts like she is anti but she wants more power. Well let us listen to Dan Jorgensen He is from Denmark and he is a member of the Danish Liberal Democrats, and he was also in this conversation. I mean Jean is talking as if you know the problems or mistakes were made long ago when the Euro was first launched but looking back at the last six months it's been an absolute disaster hasn't it? The handling by the EU with this crisis... I wouldn't say at all! If it hadn't been for the Eurozone, if it hadn't been for the EU then Greece would probably be bankrupt

2:04:59 If we have... Greece is bankrupt isn't it? No, no. Then you don't know what bankrupt this if a country is bankrupt that their money is not worth anything, they would have to leave the Eurozone. If that had happened then that would have spread to other countries we might have had other countries also go bankrupt You know what? I was in UK a few weeks ago and followed the British debate in the British media and highly esteemed economists said listen, to be honest with you We don't even know what will happen to our economy if Greece goes bankrupt because the fact of the matter is even though UK doesn't have a lot of money invested in Greece

2:05:35 German banks, French banks have a lot of money in Greece so if they go bankrupt those money are worthless. This means that the banks in the UK that are tied up with the British and also the French banks are also all of sudden big problems. This is a very good example for why it's necessary for EU to work very close together on these issues because My own country, for instance Denmark we are also not a part of the euro but we're very dependent on what goes on in the euro. Yeah so you watch Euro bonds are gonna come out and...but Greece is not bankrupt John it's not bankrupt! The slaves just need to give up more

CHAPTER 29 / 31 Discussion

Pastafarianism, Religious Headgear in Driver's Licenses

An atheist in Austria successfully fought for the right to wear a pasta strainer on his head in his driver's license photo, claiming it as religious headgear for "Pastafarianism." The hosts view this as a satirical victory that highlights the complexities of religious accommodation laws in the European Union. They joke about the strainer's potential to block satellite brainwaves and its status as a "fashion statement."

pastafarianism· austria· driver's license· religious freedom· pasta strainer

2:06:13 This is a big mess. This thing is all dependent on trying to tap Germany, which now turns out to be a culture of cheapskates. Easy now! What's the last time we got a donation from Munchen? I mean, i haven't seen it. You mean Berlin? But yeah, I think it's because they're thinking oh brother you know... The Germans are...I don't know.. I just don't say that. I think a couple of clips we had a couple shows ago where obviously the Germans are fed up with this stuff is the problem. minister of european parliament martin callahan and he is uh... from get my nation that you see that but uh... i think it's interesting looking at the two of the central palace in european union to your area the shenandoah

2:07:04 borderless free zone, both of those are in a central crisis at the moment. I think some people should be closely examining their commitment to further integration or further movement of economies towards each other when there is clearly crises in the two fundamental building blocks of the EU because there's no question that the Netherlands government and Danish government are responding to massive public pressure is about the minute wrapped up they're being forced to buy a couple of practical tools and i'm sorry for sure places like an Indian but not to actual security issues that is that's what what what irritates me I think what they're saying is who cares where they think it says now it's not about something important as a dutcher kind of saying well this is not a good idea in the bank should participate

2:07:52 I have the summary clip to describe what's really going on in the EU. Please, I need it! What do you got? Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster Victory. Wait a minute... Oh here it is How could I have missed that clip? Alright. Finally, does a pasta strainer count as religious headgear? One self-confessed atheist in Austria has fought and won the right to be shown in his driver's license photo wearing the strainer because he says it is all part of his religion called pastafarianism It's a tongue-in-cheek faith that is part of The Church Of The Flying Spaghetti Monster Dude! I'm IN

2:08:31 You have to wear a spaghetti strainer on your head and they show up picture of his driver's license with him wearing it No, wait a minute. So and he you can do this in the EU Apparently, yeah women. Yeah, it's the pasta farians Yeah, I love it. Obviously as a kind of an okay for people who want to wear masks or burkas... I love it! The EU's headed so everyone you go look at the driver's license and you look at the person with the burka on say yeah that's you. I love it oh that's great Oh I need one of those now I think we brought a strainer or maybe Baroness Maggie put a strainer on but I'm gonna wear that

CHAPTER 30 / 31 Discussion

Netherlands Broadcast Tower Fires, Infrastructure Vulnerability

Two major broadcast towers in the Netherlands experienced fires on the same day, leading to a total collapse of one antenna and a nationwide radio outage. The towers, owned by a French company and used by various government and commercial stations, are critical infrastructure. The hosts find the coincidence of two simultaneous fires highly suspicious and suggest it may indicate a deliberate attack on the country's communication systems.

netherlands· broadcast towers· lopik· alticom· radio outage· infrastructure

2:09:14 Should yeah, we're not beside it would also keep the satellite brainwaves It'll keep me safe and it's a and it's a fashion statement. It's a total fashion statement and a winner Totally winning nice Okay And by the way something weird happened in Gitmo nation lowlands that there's no clips I can play or anything but The way its setup It's a very small country. They have an infrastructure which I didn't know this is owned by the French, the French own these huge broadcast towers. I'm sure you've seen them John when you were there and there are two main ones. I've actually almost flown into one at one point in The Mist that's known as Lopik and then you have another down south, little bit more south so

2:10:00 I don't know exactly how many there are, but all of the radio stations, the government transmitters, the commercial stations. Everything except for the cable is on these towers and there was a fire in one... And these are huge towers you look at the show notes and they're amazing big towers. So it was a fire in one of them and the fire was so bad that the antenna melted and collapsed And the same day there was a fire in another one. So, there was like no radio in all of the Netherlands. Wow! What is the likelihood of that happening? Nil. Thank you and these things have been around for eons

2:10:46 But of course the crazy thing is Alticom, a French company owns the infrastructure and you have broadcast partners another commercial company who actually run the transmitters and everyone's renting from each other. And no one knows what to do and meanwhile I think they're on... there's like 1am station is broadcasting at the same time they've actually chop the budget of the Dutch World Broadcasting Service down to like 5% of what it used to be. There's something weird going on and I think it's Al-Qaeda in the lowlands personally, I'm amazed no one has actually mentioned that or they haven't said we've got al Qaeda here breaking our infrastructure... No radio! Why not?

2:11:31 What do you mean? Yeah, I think it's perfect. But what is the likelihood of that happening? It's crazy! Of course they need to get their ham license sooner than later... I got a couple hams who showed up at the meetup who were, to say the least disappointed they have not heard you on the air yet. I only have local transmitting capability. I don't use any repeaters. I'm not that good Tom stay tuned. I'll be when i send a little more time on my hands, I'll be on the air looking for him in Virginia. See QDX! Hey John you got your ears on?

CHAPTER 31 / 31 Discussion

Free Press Defense, Episode 322 Outro

The show concludes with a clip from the UK Parliament defending the importance of a free press despite the News Corp scandal. Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak wrap up the episode, with Curry preparing to move the Hot Pockets tour from Virginia to North Carolina. They thank their hosts and producers, reminding listeners to support the show through the value-for-value model before signing off.

free press· uk parliament· adam curry· john c. dvorak· north carolina· virginia

2:12:15 So other than that, I do have the one guy who...I do have one lone clip out of the blue which still refers to back to the way they wrap it around. To the Murdoch thing there's one guy came up in Parliament and he is the only guy who makes sense He actually is the guy who says that you know while your gonna beat up the media for doing this so called illegal activity You have to remember was the media that caught them. May I very much welcome the statement of the Prime Minister and can I also thank him for consulting myself and my two fellow Select Committee chairmen about terms of reference last night. While there is no doubt that we need a stronger system of regulation in this country,

2:13:01 will he bear in mind that it was not just newspapers that were responsible for these wholly unacceptable and often illegal activities, it was also newspapers who exposed them. And I hope he'll agree but a free press is an absolute fundamental cornerstone of a free society and we mustn't do anything to jeopardise that. You know what it was? It was the Guardian and the BBC it was the uh... it was established compromise media yeah we have a left wing community were probably both tipped off i still think there's an end and uh... in my six and my five cia thing going on here and they decide to get roust everybody and get murdoch out of the country one so let's just say enough for one second as you wrap it up so you're saying that the cia who of course had the murder properties they have a beef with m i six

2:13:54 Yeah. And MI6 wants the CIA out, is that it? Is that what you're saying? Yeah they are interlopers! Okay well let's look for signs of that and please everyone who's on the NOAAGEN The News Network keep your eyes peeled for that be very careful that you don't get wrapped up in the American Idol competition going into its final stretch now by the way if the fix is in on that did you see this John no yeah it's already been set but who wins Obama of course. It's real simple they've set it up... Obama is an American idol? Yeah yeah right no it's like they've got some way to raise the debt limit they can do it over three times and they've set it up so they're gonna vote on this procedure, and this procedure passes if one-third of the votes are yay
