About this episode

The July 22 attacks in Norway take center stage as reports emerge of an anti-terror exercise held in Oslo just days prior to the tragedy. Skepticism surrounds the lone wolf narrative of Anders Breivik, whose English-language manifesto and the sudden media appearance of a Goth Pilot on CNN suggest a coordinated disinformation campaign. This event serves as a potential pretext for expanded police state measures across the European Union while distracting from the Murdoch phone-hacking scandal.

Geopolitical shifts intensify as the Eurozone bailout fund expansion effectively ends the era of independent nation-states in favor of a Brussels-led economic government. In Washington, Senator Tom Coburn admits the Cut, Cap, and Balance plan is designed to appease credit rating agencies rather than the American public, while the State Department prepares a private army of 5,500 contractors for Iraq. Meanwhile, Senate hearings featuring Senators Lieberman and Graham signal a scripted Path to Persia to justify future military action against Iran. Domestic concerns rise as Congressman Dennis Kucinich exposes the Chained CPI proposal, a move that threatens to lower Social Security benefits and force seniors into a cat food standard of living.

Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak broadcast from the heat of Clearwater, Florida, observing Scientologists in wool blazers while navigating the design flaws of their tour RV. The duo deconstructs the rhetorical triples of the New York Times and the bizarre appearance of the number 33 across global news cycles. Formal knighthoods are bestowed upon loyal producers as the tour prepares for its next stop in New Orleans.

CHAPTER 03 / 47 Discussion

Primal Lifestyle Podcast and Wireless Infrastructure Failures

The discussion shifts from a meeting with a "Primal Lifestyle" podcaster who eats only meat to a critique of American wireless infrastructure. The hosts complain about the poor quality of campground Wi-Fi compared to 3G signals from Verizon and AT&T.

primal lifestyle· grains· wireless infrastructure· 3g· verizon

09:09 Almost as handsome and he does a podcast which is uh... I blogged about it. What is it? It's Living the Primal Lifestyle And you'd really like what he has to say, He eats no grains but eat lots of meat Meat Yeah, well the guy looks great! Doing something right So that was really quite awesome and then after the meetup We went over to our KOA campground about 20 minutes from here and hooked up in the dark, always fun. Went to sleep woke up the next morning and of course I hadn't done any prep so you know it's time to connect up once again the Wi-Fi at the park complete crap Tango internet really? Tango this is just it's really horrible

10:09 You know, we're gonna get our asses beat by any other country. Our wireless infrastructure is no good It really is quite pathetic So luckily I had the 3G connection so... You actually had to use your 3G when you supposedly have wireless internet at the gateway? Oh yeah it's horrible Yeah maybe good if you're looking at your Facebook page But if you actually want to get something accomplished its not good It just breaks! I can see the connections, I can just see them breaking all of the time And, you know we got files to upload and download. I've got Dropboxes to synchronize Mickey's got pictures to upload it is no good for that So um...I will say Verizon and AT&T both very strong 3G signals even the T-Mobile was pretty decent

10:56 So we were able to switch back and forth, and that worked pretty well. And when the RV was working away with the air conditioner I was like hey let's go outside and just take a look around. Imagine someone throwing a boiling towel in your face! It is so hot...so unbelievably hot down here. You can't even imagine it. You know, the camp store. It's not even in the heat bubble down there either I know but it's a little hotter than normal according to that we had the RV cleaning guys come by to clean the carpets and stuff

CHAPTER 04 / 47 Discussion

Producer Donations and Karma Distribution

The hosts thank specific producers for donations and hospitality, including a $200 contribution toward a knighthood. They joke about a "karma" transfer that resulted in a donor's brother being "douchebagged" by mistake.

donations· knighthood· karma· chad laston· nico dahan

11:35 a little bit of residue of Baroness Maggie's St. Bernard's which with all the heat and the air conditioner kind of Smells like a big wet dog And I got blamed first Nikki's like baby you really need to shower No That's not me So yeah Let me see, I do have Hot Pocket producers to thank besides of course the Nico Dahan and Ellen Dahan where we are parked right now because we struck camp this morning drove over here they made a lovely breakfast for us I'm plugged into the 20 amp circuit.

So Chad helped us out with the $200 donation We highly appreciate that That works towards his knighthood And it was kind of funny he was telling me this story His brother comes from Ohio His brother lives in Ohio And he said, you know we got Dvorak. I said what do you mean? So my brother had donated money to the show and it asked for karma from me and then somehow John gave that karma to his brother

13:05 And we douchebagged a guy they didn't even know I'm just reading from the script So we all have this vision of this guy who's like going about his life and all of sudden hey, why is my life collapsing? Why is everything around me going to crap what is happening So yeah, it's great and then after the show today miss Mickey will be doing the no agenda producer update with get most slave poolside here And then we'll be picking up. We'll be driving northbound Towards Pensacola will probably make it to like Tallahassee I think as we are on our way towards New Orleans and a reminder there is a Facebook page sorry

CHAPTER 05 / 47 Discussion

Barack Obama, Audacity of Hope Living Wage Claims

The hosts analyze a passage from Barack Obama's book, *The Audacity of Hope*, regarding the "living wage" and the American dream. They contrast Obama's vision of basic stability with a more flamboyant version of the American dream involving wealth and luxury.

barack obama· audacity of hope· living wage· american dream· donald trump

13:51 That's where Mickey does her best work. But HotPockets2008.com has all the... there is an RSS feed luckily. HotPockets2008.com has all the information and of course I'm blogging about our trip, and we look forward to more meetups if possible it's been great meeting everybody on the road John And really i'll tell you man It may sound hokey but we are making some form a difference One human resource at a time well and it's very important i was a sharp stick yeah then you know what everyone does the one mean that propagates which is everybody says it hey man i'm just getting by live in the american dream but uh... they are there it's funny someone sent me and i if someone out there has the audio book of brocco bombers uh... audacity of hope isn't that at all destiny of troop for hopes whatever

14:52 uh... i have it here uh... i tried to try to get a copy of it but it's like you're like thirty bucks the other copyright audio for free yeah and i would like to write house by great on page ten audacity of hope uh... here is They, which refers to his constituents for when he was running for senator believe that anyone willing to work should be able to find a job that pays the living wage. They believe people shouldn't have to file bankruptcy just because they got sick. They believe that every child should have a genuinely good education and those same children should be able to go to college even if their parents aren't rich and when they get old they want to be able to retire with some dignity and respect

15:38 So he's basically, he's saying without putting the dream part in He's basically had the same message all along which is I don't think anyone read the book Did you read it? Oh God no! I should have. I feel bad now. I would've caught that immediately like what? Just getting by...I don't just want to have a living wage but i wanna live the true American Dream Being Donald Trump Yeah get a Cadillac yeah with chicks and flip over That's the American dream.

Dyslexia Definitions and RV Relationship Dynamics

An anecdote about traveling in a confined RV leads to a discussion about dyslexia. One host describes the humor and difficulty of having a dyslexic partner read the Wikipedia definition of the condition aloud.

But, but i can tell you it actually relates to the fact that his comment to me was this guy must really be in love because to go into an RV and take a long trip cause he's done it too yeah you have to be in love and that was actually kind of the subtext of adamisinlove dot com well tell you that is very interesting because...

No Agenda Formula and Media Deconstruction

The hosts reiterate the "No Agenda" formula of media deconstruction and hitting people "in the mouth" with truth. They encourage listeners to propagate the show's memes during the difficult summer months.

CHAPTER 10 / 47 Discussion

Norway Terror Attacks, Anti-Terror Drills and Disinformation

The hosts analyze the July 22, 2011, attacks in Norway, highlighting reports of an anti-terror exercise held in Oslo just days prior. They express skepticism regarding the "lone wolf" narrative and the speed of media reporting.

oslo· norway· anders breivik· false flag· anti-terror drill

28:07 We've been stalling them. So, first of all way too early This is way too early to really figure anything out because uh... The first thing that happens is I mean the mainstream media what a bunch of douche knuckles! I mean really CNN BBC everyone immediately Oh well kinda, oh kinda, oh kinda, oh kinda Squirrel And then it's like AHH LONE WOLF LONE WOLF LONE WOLF LONE WOLF LONE WOLF AH BE VERY AFRAID BLOND HAIR WHITE GUY So there's so much disinformation. But the thing that amazes me, and I know you've seen exactly the same because it followed some of the email conversations is people who are either in Norway... And we have some great producers who live in Norway In fact, what's that guy's name? Sir Snorrestain lives up there in North Pole, Norway

29:00 And you know when you have 80-90 people killed in a relatively small country, You're gonna know someone. Everyone's relating to this very personally and there is a and i have yet to find the single no agenda producer who is not saying now man this is just this is the radicalist this is real this is not a conspiracy theory as they're still like no conspiracy behind this is guy was real he's nuts you know it's a radically hates islam blew it all up killed the children yes he has his long story goes on kills a bunch of white people look like him yeah it's uh...

29:40 there's a couple of things that are very bothersome about this and if i'm with this is no way for us to form an opinion yet however once again there was eight terror security drill an exercise the day before in the very building where this happened you knew this right now i do you got me on our man unlike really because on the lookout for that particular piece of information that's the one that that immediately okay I mean, i don't need to know anything else after that. Here it is... This according to... and then I have had a lot of help from people translating stuff. The Afton Post report anti-terror police fired explosive charges at a training center in Oslo 200 meters from the opera however they forgot to notify the public so this was on Wednesday

30:35 the exercise occurred a revolve around anti-terror units attacking eight uh... disused building at the edge of and i can't read it as the characters are messed up terry copier i think with bombs and firearms demand lower themselves down from the roof into the window that justin blown out well they fired their weapons the report stated noting the exercise dramatic produced that proves violent bangs and was watched by spectators spectators ad nearby at the opera house So, this seems to happen with enormous regularity when there's something that we at least would consider to be a false flag is that there is some kind of exercise in and around when it takes place. And so this once again happened and that bothered me. Yeah, that would be bothersome. Why does the mainstream media... I'm just looking all the angles right? Because I can't conclude anything yet and I don't think you can either John

31:35 But when a guy shows up in a police uniform, which of course the reporting is all over the map. One says he had his sweater on with the police badge someone else says you know these kids clearly thought it was police if we can believe their reporting Is there no one who says hey maybe it was police? I didn't see anyone question that Why are you laughing? It's pretty funny Yeah but seriously like well could have been a police officer And then this guy, like you know really? Like he has... kills 80 kids. Well I still baffle by the fact that he's got this manifesto written in English out of London with a different name

CHAPTER 11 / 47 Discussion

Anders Breivik Manifesto and Goth Pilot Twitter Mystery

The discussion focuses on the English-language manifesto attributed to Anders Breivik and the sudden appearance of a "Goth Pilot" on Twitter who was interviewed by CNN. They question why a Norwegian radical would write a manifesto in English.

anders breivik· manifesto· knights templar· twitter· dark pilot

32:18 Yeah, what's the point? What is the point? Why... I mean you know oh well and everybody in every news report says the same thing. They put the guys name Andrew Brevnik or whatever it is on The London Report It's London they said anglicized version of his name most..I don't know how many Norwegians do you know I mean look at that I don't know any that anglicize their name for the English audience and then have used another name use two different names Right. I mean that went out in the 30s, it's pointless! uh... so that's kind of the finally i mean is not there's lots of things in india in norway just as an uh... and in many other countries by the way uh... there was a lot of testing of uh... lsd on their own young children you know this lots reports about that so it may have been by the way but not unlike julian assange at how much does guy look like julian assange he also looks like paul bronson

33:21 but if you do few new rich pro-bronze look like you laugh it was just like him okay uh... some novelist and their local local boy anyway i'd be i know we're gonna have to scan take us a few ever first had to get through the all the theories that are floating around immediately from people like jones yeah oh yeah nightly snow sandals stretch straight to the illuminati there was another little irritating thing this is pilot in dot com and uh... he's a young guy and uh... he's a continental airlines pilot and you know some looking at this guy could be the cnn had a mom and he said in his saying i just like nine eleven near the built this pulverized us and he was that he was in new york on nine eleven and he was interviewed then he also turns up in haiti airlifting troops because of this guy's like immediate darling and his is his twitter handle is dark pilots

34:21 You know, so it's just like you gotta follow these people. Pilot? That sounds like a CIA name! And his Twitter handle is got airline pilot and subterranean. I was like what?! So he's a member of New York's community board the CB2 transportation committee... I don't know he calls himself a Goth pilot Yeah it's just these people who happen to be around at these events and then of course uh... julia my favorite is if you take the date of this horrific event seven twenty two two thousand eleven you add up the numbers it of course equals thirty three yeah i don't make light of it but there's a dark pilot that guy looking at his tweeters is yeses yes i'm in also yes i'm okay yes it's me over cnn and no she hasn't we did since in the february before that all suddenly tweets

35:23 one line doesn't come back after that at all. Actually, it's worse than that he hasn't tweeted since November 2010! There you go I think the anti-bike backlash is overblown media hype death cycling could be more neighborly my CB2 meeting tonight and he's tweeting on the 9th November 10th November 9th October 28th tweeting tweeting then he stops completely to get reprogrammed And then the next thing you know, July 22nd like over six seven eight months later he tweets as though he's been tweeting all along. That's weird yeah interesting I'll keep an eye on him But your assessment John?

CHAPTER 12 / 47 Discussion

Geopolitical Implications of Norway Attacks on EU Security

The hosts speculate that the Norway attacks serve as a distraction from the Murdoch phone-hacking scandal and provide a pretext for increasing police state measures within the EU, despite Norway not being a member state.

nato· libya· european union· police state· oil

36:11 My assessment is very simple. I think something's fishy that the best i can do, I got nothing! I looked around and was looking at some of the reports a lot of this stuff is screwy a lot of this stuff... That manifesto of his cut and paste showed up today before The wiki entry for his lawyer showed up you can look at the history of the wiki it never existed until yesterday and now he has a wiki page, the lawyer who also got somebody into it. He has one famous case in the person lost in jail and I think its good...its removed from the United States so we don't have access to anything We dont know how their media works

36:54 how they're going to propagate their information. I don't know, it's gonna take a while before that shakes out. I believe somebody will... some blogger or somebody will have a piece of tidbit that will help us. Well let me here is how i approach it because I knew that you know this is really sensitive right now and people are very hurt and people are very shocked at his shock and all And this is very handy because whenever these things take place a lot of stuff happens. This is how he wound up with the Patriot Act which turns out was written and ready to go years before all these kind of weird things happen so what does this distract from?

37:31 well distracts what we're calling a cia verses and uh... and my six war with murdoch off the map done over won't even hear about it anymore hackney yesterday's news i don't think that'll come back i think that's over i think as very convenient i'm just saying is very convenient now norway Although it does, it is a member of NATO and does participate. It's actually participating in the Libyan bombings not a member of the EU Norway by the way also had don't know have all the oil Don't they have tons of oil John but that they got tens of oil which is of course a giveaway of zero action takes place around oil The other thing is this manifest on all this other stuff seems to be eu centric

38:11 And it seems that any place you're going to do something like this, Norway's not even in the EU. And this is all about the EU and the multi-culti EU Exactly Take over That's why it's wrong It does so did that you know this is not a very well put together whatever it is So listen, I mean if the guy's just a lone wolf nutcase just like everyone wants to believe That it wrote this manifesto. He's targeting the wrong people he's doing at the root. It's it The whole thing is bad, so doesn't make any sense so if you wanted to do something that would affect the EU

38:48 but didn't necessarily involve the EU, Norway would be perfect. You know what I'm saying? So if you wanted to tighten security and make more of a police state around the EU than it already is and if you want to cover up a couple events which just took place...and I did find one rather important It'd be perfect to do something like this in Norway because we don't..you know this not really an EU thing Right? Isn't there not really a member state we really feel bad and are shocked an all that. But we got to make sure this doesn't happen at home, here in the EU, and we gotta be on the lookout for these right-wing radicals they want to kill everybody and here's his manifesto about the multi culti society which is definitely something that is being discussed all across Europe We recently talked about the Netherlands actually officially stepping back saying this multicultural society doesn't really work

CHAPTER 13 / 47 Discussion

Eurozone Bailout and the End of Nation States

Analysis of the Greek bailout and the expansion of the Eurozone bailout fund. The hosts argue this marks the day Europe transitioned from a collection of nation-states to a single economic government controlled by Brussels.

christine lagarde· greece· eurozone· fiscal union· brussels

39:45 But something happened around Christine Lagarde and the Greek bailout. And actually, I have a clip... let's see how long we can stand this But something very important took place and I believe that this is, well...I know that this is off the radar because of this event. No one's going to be talking about what has actually happened in Europe. I was very impressed Well it's great to hear there was such a great spirit but just looking at the detail of what was decided debts are being rescheduled, the amount to be repaid is being reduced, the interest rates are being taken down It is some kind of default surely?

40:24 You can't prevent members of the Eurozone to actually decide that they're going to reduce the interest rate simply because they want to make sure that one of their partners who has been under severe attack, who has delivered under the programme so far needs to be supported and needs help. And that's really what happened tonight What I found really most amazing is the collective resolve to actually continue to support countries until such time when they regain access to market provided that they deliver under the program. And I think it's a combination of give and take, you deliver, you do what you have to do and we will back you. So what has happened here?

41:09 is they greatly expanded the eurozone bailout for Greece and in effect by leaving the banks out of it, they still had this well... It's a voluntary. If you want to give us your money... Yeah right! Like who in their right mind is going to do that? No one They've effectively created what they always wanted The collective fiscal and monetary union of the EU So, this settlement which they've now put together which happened just in the very same days that this atrocity has taken place. If it's accepted by each of the individual member states' parliaments

41:51 you do we will actually that you can mark this in history is the day that europe became uh... no longer is it a collection of nation states it is one economic government one currency they want we have one foreign policy for the e u integration is so complete taxpayers will be paying their tax to brussels this is all taking place right now right in front of their eyes and no one is paying attention to it it's even worse The EU has now said that every European has to have a basic bank account without overdrafts and it'll have a set fee. The European Commission, Starfleet Command is commanding this within six months and it's a special 18 digit bank number okay? This is it people!

CHAPTER 14 / 47 Discussion

Obama Absence and MKUltra Government Theories

The hosts question President Obama's lack of a major public response to the Norway attacks. They suggest the perpetrator could be a product of MKUltra-style programming, comparing the situation to Timothy McVeigh.

barack obama· nobel peace prize· mkultra· timothy mcveigh· drones

42:42 This is where it takes place. You're going to be forced to use the EU bank, that's where your money will have to go in for your plastic money and it's a shutdown of all your freedom based upon your money and of course no one is really reporting on this. No there are other things to report on, things that are more superficial I want to mention a couple other things about this Norway situation One is where's Obama? Yeah, that's where he received his Nobel Prize. I know but generally speaking anytime anything happens today we've noticed over the past two years something you know somebody stubs their toe somewhere Obama is there to give condolences he goes on network TV and gives us a little talk saying we're sorry this happened. Rosie? You know what i think? The US had nothing to do with this

43:33 this is I think that the CIA jump- So Obama only shows up when he's in the script? Yeah, hey! He didn't get a casting call. There was no like you know... He didn't know where his trailer was any of that. He didn't know what to do. Right so he did nothing yeah also this character was them with a member of their labor party that he shot up Which is under-reported, by the way. Oh really? I didn't realize that... Yeah. Well you know what here's the basic bottom line. I know of only one entity that has the soullessness and the evilness to kill children in cold blood and that is a government! Our government does it

44:17 We're killing kids and civilians with drones everywhere. So the only entity I know that is so gutless to do this, is a government! Or controlling a drone... This guy could have been MKUltra or he could have been anything. Yeah we'll find out in the weeks ahead. Eh weeks? Months? Well yeah it might be longer because again, the guys admitted they are going to try and get thing done quick It's gonna be like a Timothy McVeigh thing. The guy is going to be found guilty and then shot immediately I mean, you know who knows what would have happened if McVeigh was just given life in prison Yeah And they're already saying that right? They are already saying McVeigh all the US news reports This guy was just like Timothy McVeigh He wasn't

CHAPTER 15 / 47 Discussion

Murdoch Scandal, Russian FSB and Dead Whistleblowers

A theory is presented involving former Russian FSB agents working for the Murdoch operation. The discussion links the death of a whistleblower in London to potential Russian "plumbers" taking initiative for the media mogul.

rupert murdoch· fsb· russia· whistleblowers· andy coulson

45:03 But turns out his father was a diplomat in the UK for Norway. So he's got diplomatic ties, I mean this is all... it's like we're gonna start seeing all of this. Okay well we'll continue to follow it now back to the English thing I got an interesting email from someone I get some... I'm like you I get couple contacts that have observations that are worth repeating And this one's interesting. This is an interesting theory about the two dead guys that showed up... Oh, the whistleblowers? Yeah, the two dead whistleblowers. I'm just going to read this straight-up and you can take it for what it's worth which could be anything Here's a next shoe to drop He used Russians out of work from the FSB Talking about the Murdoch operation

45:58 Both in London and New York, no tinfoil hats. I know this from personal knowledge of people who worked for him That's why that guy turning up dead in London without cause is noteworthy Okay maybe there was evidence at the scene that points to a cause of death but they're Dismissing it as not suspicious before the autopsy had even been completed was kind of BS! I'm not saying that Murdoch would pull the lever for a guy like that to get killed But a lot of these Russian plumbers take initiatives in expectation to collect on a favor at a later date and it's even possible somebody pulled the Thomas Beckett on the guy. Example saying, gee what could we ever do to make this guy stop in someone's presence? Oh right well

46:46 So Russians, there you go. Russians using XKGB guys. Yeah that's what you do the guys know what they're doing and they wouldn't have any qualms about killing these guys By the way you asked a question about Andy Coulson and the question that Cameron wouldn't answer About who had cleared him Only one organization according to our producer Robert uh... in the u k all and he knows and i know why he knows in the u k all home office government security is carried out by the defense vetting agency that's a foreign officer and uh... m i six no one else so it's it's all inside well make sense and you can't win system having him say that though to open it up but meaning of the there's been a warring gangs all over the place

47:45 the world is not very heavy pretty heavy duty warring gangs yeah well did the world is not good as bad stuff everyone money involved billions and billions of dollars uh... one more from the uh... going back to last week you were questioning why paul sarbanes of uh... sarbanes oxley white he was a fighting so hard for cypress yes only says he's great exactly these greek his parents are both greek Well, there you go. This Cyprus thing still needs to be further explored It's all Russians! All the money is there it's all the Russian stuff By the way I've been going to Russian sources to try and dig into this Norway thing I betcha some interesting information crops up shortly Yeah...I mean y'know I can feel that people are like How come they don't have it all figured out? We couldn't have figured anything out about 9-11 on 9-12

CHAPTER 16 / 47 Discussion

Al-Qaeda False Flag Claims in Norway

The hosts critique the initial media rush to blame Al-Qaeda for the Norway attacks. They conclude the event was a false flag designed to trigger specific reactions from conspiracy theorists and the public.

al-qaeda· cia· false flag· knights templar· freemasons

48:52 it just doesn't work that way. Yeah, it just happened the other day! There's so much disinformation but make no mistake the US knew nothing about it thats why Obama didn't show up he gave a short little mention while he was meeting some other dude you know our heart goes out whatever and he did reference the fact that he was there and Norwegian people are so nice blah blah blah...nothing else The fact that the CIA immediately took advantage of told all their handlers go propagate Al Qaeda Al Qaeda Because that's what everybody, everyone jumped on Al Qaeda and then it turns out it is not an Al Qaeda guy. And then its back to the lone wolf so everyone was just taking advantage of it but you know yeah I think your right maybe it does have something do with the Russians but it definitely not just some crazy dude who writes his manifesto and puts out this nutty video please

49:47 And I know it hurts. It's in video, yeah! And why is it in English? You know, I've talked to some of our contacts in Norway and they were... Well you know because there are more universal languages so we get more people reading them. Who signed an A on this? This was about the EU or even about the EU. Why is it in English?! The whole thing is crazy. Then you pull in the Knights Templar and Freemasons and oh come on This is like built to make people like Alex Jones go crazy. But I think it's a lot simpler, but for sure false flag that I'm definitely convinced of particularly with training exercises the fact that they're not in the EU and this guy's manifesto was talking about the EU no way It just is very bothersome and then feel bad I just feel horrible about what happened you imagine these kids man that sucks

CHAPTER 17 / 47 Discussion

Amy Winehouse Death and the 27 Club

The death of singer Amy Winehouse is discussed in the context of the "27 Club." The hosts lament the media's focus on celebrity tragedy while ignoring casualties in Iraq and Afghanistan, and note the financial benefit to Universal Music.

amy winehouse· 27 club· universal music· emi· rehab

50:45 Yeah, who needs some guy shooting up the place? It's ridiculous. But luckily... Luckily we can focus all our attention on Amy Winehouse. Well she got there you know the funny thing is it because of all this other cool stuff going on I don't mean cool in the sense that it's admirable but these things I mean cool in a sense that attracts a lot of media attention she got short sheeted! She got gypped She got totally gypped. Well, actually she didn't because she's now a member of the 27 Club so that you live on in perpetuity You know about the 27 club right? All those people died at age 27 Yeah like Kurt Cobain and Janis Joplin Jimi Hendrix Lots of good ones all died when they were 27 but to me there are two things One I feel

51:43 You know, it's like I see all the Twitter messages and everyone you know like oh and yeah. I loved her music too She was an enormous talent being a no one was like lying in front of her door saying Amy Amy Amy I'm such a big fan. I'm gonna straighten you out. I'm taking you to rehab. I'm taking you to get you fixed You know, it's always like we love the train wreck right? And I think most people don't know but they're sad because the train wreck is over. Everyone who was laughing just as loud about her crazy antics on stage when she was all messed up It was a part of the whole thing! The reality show So...I feel bad about that

52:22 And then what I really feel bad about is, you know, when I do it often and go to the Department of Defense website and see that another seven young boys and girls got killed in Afghanistan and Iraq this week. No one knows their names no one knows what's going on no one gives a crap! They're there for senseless wars in the sand and they don't even know why they're there Those people we don't talk about So and that just it upsets me because I'm like how screwed up are we or I don't know a million Iraqis They got killed, you know People in Libya that are being bombed every single day children that we did. We don't know we don't care Hold on a second. You know what? I need I need them this one So yeah, I feel bad that we lost a great talent and of course her new album will be out soon

53:14 on Universal. More dead than alive! Absolutely, Universal I think Universal will now win the bid to take over EMI because they just announced that you know they're fighting it's KKR versus Universal i think and you know they're both coming out with their bids this week so now we know that universal will have an extra little bump in income from the back catalogue of the new album So it dismays me, it really does. I'm very upset about how screwed up we are as a society what's important. So let's get to some clips! Go for it. You familiar with the comedian Tracy Jordan? Yeah he is from... Or should I say Tracey Morgan? Is it Tracey Morgan? Yeah he is from 30 Rock

CHAPTER 18 / 47 Discussion

Charlie Rangel and Tracy Morgan Comparison

A humorous segment comparing a clip of Congressman Charlie Rangel to the character Tracy Jordan from *30 Rock*. The hosts suggest the politician sounds intoxicated during his public remarks.

charlie rangel· tracy morgan· 30 rock· justice napolitano· congress

54:04 Yeah, and he's been around for a while. He got... listen to the Tracy Morgan clip where he is with Justice Napolitano and he's just babbling about something. And tell me if you can make heads or tails of it? The richness that is in the Old and New Testament to share in this sacrifice. Let me ask you... And sacrifice is what it is! How many Democrats...? Have you seen him on 30 Rock? Have you seen the show? So uh... Because he's not acting apparently. So, uh... That wasn't Tracy Jordan. Or Tracy Morgan? It wasn't?! Who was that?? Play it again and see if you can figure it out! Oh this was a trick! The richness that is in the Old and the New Testament to share in this sacrifice. And sacrifice is what it is!! How many Democ- What's that congressman's name again? That, uh..that's probably a politician Yes! What's his name? That squeaky voiced congressman from New York

55:03 Who is... let me hear it again. Because unfortunately I'm thinking Tracy Morgan so much, that I can't think of his name Well the joke is not good if you can't give me the real guy's name No! I just blew the punchline and I'm realizing that as we speak You suck! The richness that is in the old and new testament to share in this sacrifice Charlie Rangel This is what it is! Hello, Ms. Lemon! It's like Tracy Morgan? Hello, Ms. Lemon! It's the way it's old in the New Testament! You see there my daughter of Buzzkill Jr that noticed this.

CHAPTER 19 / 47 Discussion

Tom Coburn, Debt Ceiling and Rating Agencies

The hosts deconstruct a speech by Senator Tom Coburn regarding the "Cut, Cap, and Balance" plan. They highlight Coburn's admission that the debate is primarily about satisfying credit rating agencies rather than the public.

tom coburn· debt ceiling· barack obama· c-span· credit rating

55:52 and charlie wrangle uh... you know who else was drunk tom coburn was drunk all he wasn't totally did it because he was shit faced so um... obama of our president comes out with his uh... is a his podcast the uh... obama podcast obon a cast And he said something, you know words matter to me so when something says something I go and check it out. So he's talking about how awesome Tom Coburn is That's the heart of this approach Yes Serious cuts balanced by some new revenues and it has been the position every Democratic and Republican leader who has worked to reduce the deficit from Bill Clinton to Ronald Reagan

56:34 In fact, earlier this week one of the most conservative members of the Senate Tom Coburn announced his support for a balanced bipartisan plan that shows promise. And then a funny thing happened he received around applause from a group Republican and Democratic senators That's rare event in Washington so there will be plenty of haggling over details in days ahead but this debate boils down to a simple choice So I go on c-span.com and i go looking because I want to see this applause! That's interesting, don't just tell me that president, I'm going to look it up well if anyone can find it for me then please define me because the guy goes on for like 40 minutes he's got his charts he's got all the stuff out there let me play you at the beginning of his uh... the guy is confused

57:28 And he's talking about having a debate about what is it called now cap cover and duck? Cap, cap cover. We're calling it now I saw the whole I tried to watch this I saw on real time and I found it was just like oh You know, I had to find something else to watch. Yeah how sad are our lives? Like i'm in an RV rolling through the beautiful countryside of America and I'm watching this guy you're at home in the beautiful northern Silicon Valley watching it real time listen what he says though! The guy is a total douche-ette So come Saturday morning when members of the Senate vote against proceeding... Did you hear what he just said?!

58:16 He says, come Saturday morning when members of the Senate vote against... It's like does he already know the outcome? Apparently it's rigged. I mean he literally said..I think he means to say we vote about No no i saw what he said! He says literally we vote against it. Members of the senate will vote against it. Colleague from Delaware Oops sorry this one here we go So come Saturday morning when members of the Senate vote against proceeding to cut, cap and balance. So I guess he knows the outcome? They will display either courage or cowardice and i'm not talking about simple words there's only one plan that has passed the House of Representatives that raises the debt limit and addresses what is said to be needed by the rating agencies And thats cut, cap and balance

59:17 and to not allow a vote, not to allow proceeding to that debate. What? Exactly! I'm listening this guy and like... He doesn't know what he's saying! Play that little bit again where it just makes no sense. Sounds like Tracy Jordan. that raises the debt limit and addresses what is said to be needed by the rating agencies. Ah, okay! The only thing he's saying and this is what caught me... The only thing this vote was about is what is needed by the rating agencies isn't it about you and I? They don't care about YOU! They don't care about ME! No no actually this IS about you and I because you're the one that predicted

1:00:07 You watch I'm still predicting it movies. We're still gonna get a downgrade down twice I'm not putting all right, all right Coburn Coburn if you're listening to the show Get the script right? It's the House of Representatives that raises the debt limit and addresses What is said to be need by needed by the rating agency Addresses what is said to be needed? I mean the guy this is so much bullcrap and this guy is a total Egghead. So let me play you the last 30 seconds of this fantastic, this enormous... and please if the applause happens somewhere else please find the clip for me because this is what I got. Colleague from Delaware my one of my great friends and you don't hear that said a lot here but he is a great friend it's not conventional just common greedy and I believe I'm over my time I will be back to the floor to finish this conversation

Federal Budget Cuts and Domestic Program Efficiency

A report on proposed federal budget cuts totaling $500 billion. The discussion focuses on claims that trillions could be cut without affecting citizens, while critics argue the cuts target the poor and environmental protections.

budget cuts· welfare· food stamps· russia today· federal budget

1:01:07 but america needs to know we'll have any problem we can't fix what we lack is leaders who will fix it that's our deficit it's a deficit of courage it's a deficit of will and with that idea many throws out his mind president as smattering of applause i don't hear it yeah idea i did here very clearly what he meant to say though little interview with uh... russia today where he explains very clearly what this is all about. What domestic programs get cut? Well, it goes across there's 80 billion dollars in the defense department I can't remember the breakdown of each of them but it comes to 500 billion

1:01:54 What specific programs? What do the American people need to know. They haven't put that in In fact, Senator Coburn says they could cut up to five trillion dollars from the federal budget and Americans wouldn't feel it at all The last time they made cuts almost thirty eight billion dollars Here's the list It's food for women and children, it's helping the poor keep their homes, its environmental protection Its a really long list The point is where is the efficiency the actual service going to people in gonna decline, the people sucking off the program are gonna be the ones that lose. There you go! If your sucking off the program if one of the people's sucking off the program your a losing ya know like welfare moms say you're sucking off the program you lose guys an idiot

CHAPTER 21 / 47 Discussion

Joint Chiefs Hearings and the Path to Persia

The hosts review Senate hearings for new military leadership, characterizing the questioning by Senators Lieberman and Graham as a scripted "Path to Persia" intended to justify future military action against Iran.

joint chiefs of staff· iran· joe lieberman· lindsey graham· f-35

1:02:46 Well, I was catching up. Watch the hearings on they have three new guys an army guy and navy guy and air force guy that are going to be moving into the Joint Chiefs of Staff office including the head of the Army, a new assistant to Mullen and someone else so they were grilling them in front of Senate and it's just about these guys already been picked their hand picked right? Yeah! And there already in So, we get to watch this grilling which is not even a grilling. It's basically letting somebody know what's really going to happen over the next few years including obviously the path to Persia by asking bull crap leading questions and let me just play a couple of these clips Let's start with Lieberman

1:03:38 Who's hinting about Iran with questions that are... He is not even asking questions, he is giving a speech and the guy has to agree with. Your career as Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs I wanted to ask you to comment on do you agree with Secretary Panetta and Admiral Mullen about this behavior by Iran? Yes sir, I absolutely agree with it. And um...I would not want to take away any options or anything like that but i would say that they are testing our patience to be sure. We always would use force as a last resort there plenty of instruments of national power that can be applied but uh...it's a very serious problem and I fully support what Secretary Panetta and Chairman Mullen said about

1:04:19 Well, I thank you for your statement and um...I don't have to say to any of you because you've been on the battlefield and know how important it is but we've now escalated our identification with what the Iranians are doing. And i think if they don't stop uh... our credibility with them and a lot of others in the region if not the world is going to go down if we don't do something about it. They're safe, lose face! You know what's interesting? If you watch enough C-SPAN you catch on this that just all about all these congressional and senate testimony hearings All these guys on the dais they all pontificate and they all say..they try to get the soundbite right

1:04:59 And because they know that someone's recording it somewhere and they say these things and all the witness really has to do, if they're a friendly witness which is the way it is 99% of the time. They just say well yes thats absolutely correct sir! Yeah thats what they say in fact here's Lindsey Graham kind of heading into same direction trying to set up... It doesn't even let the guy really answer he just continues going on about again path to Persia this is you know we are gonna attack Iran Certainly, I believe slowed them down. But there's more pressure that could be and probably should be applied eventually as they... In terms of the threats we face in the future if Iran acquired a nuclear capability?

1:05:42 What kind of threat and what would be the likely consequences of that event to our national security? I think it would be grave if they acquired a nuclear weapon, and the ability to deliver it. Right And we need to watch that very carefully and pace that so that we can... And that takes us to missile defense and other... To suppress the Iranian nuclear threat could require some pretty sophisticated military capability Do you agree with that? Yes sir that the idea of attacking Iran with a single strike and neutering their nuclear capability if the president chose to do that is probably not going to happen. It'd be a more sustained effort if we were to have that. Oh man! I would not want to rule anything out, Senator at this point but it would be a challenge That's why F-35s and F-22s become important Important? That's right, important The F-35 and the F-22 certainly represent very important capabilities That's why air refueling capability becomes important That's why bases in the region become important

CHAPTER 22 / 47 Discussion

GDP Defense Spending and Military Scams

Senator Lindsey Graham's use of GDP percentages to argue for increased military spending is analyzed. The hosts argue that comparing current spending to World War II levels is a "public scam" to justify higher budgets.

gdp· defense spending· world war ii· vietnam· drones

1:06:40 So, the reason I ask these questions is to get to what kind of threats that the nation faces. which is that our military, we're not really spending that much on military. No! Not at all So play Lindsey Graham on the GDP defense spending game he plays with the guy from the Navy Let me guess this is a game of The Shell where you don't know where the marble is? You'll see so my question for all of you Is it fair to use GDP spending on defense as a guide to what's sufficient

1:07:27 Is that a good measuring device? Senator, I think it's an indicator. A comparative indicator but it is also very often comparing apples to oranges If you look at what we spend as a percentage of GBT in World War II It doesn't even compare to what we are spending now Secretary Gates identified GDP as a benchmark for defense spending I associate myself with that. And when you look at World War II spending, you're right we went up to 42% at the height of the war GDP. Korea was 8.23 to 13%. Vietnam was 7.65 to 10.8%. In 2010, we are spending 5.78% of our GDP on defense. So if you believe it is a benchmark

1:08:12 would you agree this on the low end of conflicts in recent memory? I would say factually it is on the low end GDP wise. Why, would you agree that we have never spent so little money on killing brown people... We're not spending nothing! ...Killing brown people in the sand?! I mean when we got them drones they don't take no pilots we got them hellfire missiles that just go out there and you don't even have to aim them It costs nothing to do it's cheap Cheap cheap cheap. I tell you we just kill people We need to spend more wait, I think we should be spending more to get you know what? You know what? We need to go kill some more people where can we how about Iran? We could one missile what was

1:08:55 We're spending half as much as we did in Vietnam, so we have to double how much we're spending. Basically this is just a setup for a huge public scam and they are going try to keep pointing out this World War II thing. Now these numbers I think are somewhat bogus in fact the Navy guy is very good at kind of giving these vague answers that it's kinda an agreement but not completely. And I was very interested in him but let's play another one which is, there's one I missed unfortunately. McCain. Well i do have the McCain one this is a little different

CHAPTER 23 / 47 Discussion

John McCain Showboating on Pakistan Supply Routes

Senator John McCain is criticized for "showboating" during a hearing by aggressively questioning a general about Pakistan supply routes. The hosts argue the performance is a fraud since the general was already pre-approved.

john mccain· pakistan· logistics· afghanistan· airlift

1:09:31 This is McCain showboating basically that he's a tough question. I was watching this saying, why is this weird to me? And I realized that McCain who's a softballer never says anything that's important and never really drills down on anyone but he's drilling down on this guy who's already pre-approved so now the guy is already in as this army guy I get where this may be the Air Force guy. He decides to get tough. Yeah, I take that on the edge of his bull crap! This is a complete fraud interview he just makes the guy answer you know you'll see check this out Thank You Mr Chairman General Frazier follow up on chairman Levin's question about what would happen if Pakistan cut off their supply routes what percent of our logistics now goes through Pakistan?

1:10:25 It's my understanding that approximately 35% moves through the ground and the others moving through the northern distribution network coupled with also lift as we bring in supplies by air. How long would it take you to make up for that 35%? Suppose tomorrow Pakistan shut off those supply routes, how long would it take you to adjust to get keep the same level of logistics into Afghanistan. Sir if confirmed I'll certainly delve deeply into that. You don't know. I have not looked at the details of that particular plan It can't be right away. You know that much about it Yes sir

1:11:07 So there would be a period of time where we would not have the normal logistic supply. Sir, in my visits to the theater I see the stocks are up... Is that true or false? There would be a period where we would not... He's on the same side and he's dogging the guy! Yeah What is the point?! He's showing he's tough! No hold on a second... Bullshit! No, horrible man Horrible man, wait a minute. He's almost as bad unless you want me to play the rest of this clip or yeah Because you're gonna get one more job. Okay good good. Good boy Just approve it don't do that good to maintain the same level of supply. That's true sir and If we have to use airlift airlift is approximately four or five times as expensive As the present mode of ground transportation right?

1:12:01 Sir, we are doing everything we can to reduce the cost through the intermodal Is it true that it's three or four times more expensive to use air to carry this logistics than the present mode of overland? Sir I will delve deeply into those cost figures. It is more expensive to go by air thank you uh... everyone of them all by a thank you up by the way it was funny with both mccain and lindsey graham that they give they do their little showboat thing and then they bail yeah anywhere else in the hearing there's just one guy eleven there are no evidence coming from the media exposure at this is in your plan to sell so that we have uh... spokesall carney now yes is a great one jay carney who looks like

CHAPTER 24 / 47 Discussion

Jay Carney and the Economic Headwinds Narrative

White House Press Secretary Jay Carney's claims of a "vastly improved" economy are deconstructed. The hosts mock the use of the term "headwinds" to describe ongoing economic struggles and high unemployment.

jay carney· barack obama· unemployment· economic recovery· white house

1:12:52 he looks like a lawyer and I have nothing against lawyers but it kinda looks like James Spader type lawyer, like a real shyster anything... He actually does look like a Hollywood actor. Yeah he does, yeah actor there you go that's better uh...he says something unbelievable just unbelievable two things remain uncontestably true now when you hear that when i hear someone say something remains uncontestably true my ears perk up oh really Tell us, what is it James? The economy is vastly improved from what it was when Barack Obama was sworn into office as president. What?! Have you ever taken an RV tour through America Mr Carney? Are you kidding me! It has vastly improved... Vastly

1:13:49 We haven't, it's never been this good. In economic free fall there were predictions that we were headed to the second great depression Yeah predictions! We were losing up to over 700 thousand jobs a month... ...we were contracting at greater than 6% our economy was Uh-huh So the economy has improved. It has not improved. And the guy's like, what? Hey! Hey hey that's... and she just talks right over him. Improved enough well there is no question we face headwinds and the president had been very direct about that Headwinds. We need to do everything we can. It gets better it gets better a headwinds. Hey John do you feel that?!

1:14:28 that's not your wallet empty, that just a headwind. Just little head wind! Shut up and live the American dream of just getting by Across the front to ensure we're doing what we can to spur growth, spur job creation part of that is doing the work he is doing this week and last week and probably next week Now, What you think our president does about our economy. He said it himself many times and of course Spokes Hole is privy to all the scripts. To try to achieve a significant deficit reduction deal with Congress that does not restrain growth, does not undermine the recovery that we have

1:15:20 but strengthens it and allows us to continue to invest in the key areas that will allow us to grow and create jobs. but what remains obvious is to him and everyone is that this economy is nowhere near where it needs to be. That's why he is focused every day, wakes up everyday and goes to sleep every night thinking about the fact that he will not rest, he will not cease in his efforts to grow the economy create jobs until he knows every American who is looking for a job. That's what he does! He gets up everyday and goes to bed everyday And he thinks about us I really appreciate it Unbelievable

CHAPTER 25 / 47 Discussion

Kelly Ayotte and the Permanence of Gitmo

Senator Kelly Ayotte's questioning of military officials suggests that Guantanamo Bay will not only remain open but that additional long-term detention facilities may be required to handle groups like Al-Shabaab.

kelly ayotte· gitmo· al-shabaab· detention· terrorism

1:16:01 Really, really unbelievable. I found that other clip I wanted to play before we go off the topic completely because this was also another show kind of indicator what we can expect besides the path to Persia insofar as our future is concerned. And this is a woman who's a senator from New Hampshire named Kelly A-Ott or something such thing, A Y O T T and she is like a Republican hawk of the worst kind and essentially she's basically making these new guys say that we not only need Gitmo but we might even need another Gitmo

1:16:40 And this is kind of all the indication we need that Obama's promise to shut down Gitmo is never going to happen. Play the Gitmo forever. Admiral Winnefeld, if confirmed to be the Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff you will have a very important role in advising the chairman, the Secretary of Defense and the President regarding a variety of Department of Defense policies? In your written testimony, you discussed al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula as well as Al Shabaab. And you called al Qaeda a growing threat to our homeland and noted that Al Shabaab is planning to conduct attacks against United States interests in East Africa."

1:17:24 During the hearing on June 28th, I had the opportunity to ask Vice Admiral McRaven if it would be helpful 10 years into the war on terror to have a designated long-term detention and interrogation facility for terrorists from groups like al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula and Al Shabaab. He said that he thought it would be very helpful. What is your opinion about that? uh... and i would share adding both secretary panetta's and bills opinion on that it would be helpful to have a long-term detention facility pat as because the shish kebab this is about what does it look at them but they're good dishes kabob guys are scary we need of long term detention facility

CHAPTER 26 / 47 Discussion

State Department Private Army in Iraq

The State Department is reportedly building a 5,500-person private army of contractors to provide security in Iraq. The hosts view this as a shell game where regular troops are replaced by expensive private mercenaries.

state department· contractors· iraq· mercenaries· hillary clinton

1:18:10 But Al Shabab seems to be cropping up in the election. I've noticed that too, meanwhile Lucifer is building her own private army The State Department is building a 5500 man and perhaps woman strong army of contractors set to take over and provide security after the US military leaves Iraq for that huge shopping mall we built known as the embassy. However, it is kind of interesting that the State Department is withholding information there's been several FOIA requests and they're just not answering it he's not saying anything

1:18:53 But it's all, so we get our troops out but then we turn around and take the same amount of money if not more. And then go and hire Zee and other contractors like that to trigger happy guys to stand around and shoot people when they get too close. I'm so sad man, we're just a bunch of war mongering crazies. Well that's it yeah ever since World War 1 obviously we seem to be trigger happy Someone should do something about that Yeah, but it is too late We just have to figure out how to stay out the way Nico had a pretty good he said you know what? The way we take back control for ourselves is if we start with the food

CHAPTER 27 / 47 Discussion

San Francisco Police Shooting and Photoshopped Evidence

A controversial police shooting in San Francisco is discussed, where officials claimed a suspect shot himself. The hosts mock the subsequent appearance of a photo that allegedly shows a "photoshopped" gun near the body.

san francisco· police shooting· kenneth harding· hunters point· photoshop

1:19:45 We've all got it. Food is how we're going to be controlled at the end and I think you and I followed the Codex Alimentarius closely enough to know that that is actually happening, um... And growing our own food and finding ways to share it and sell it to each other is much more important than anything else we can do. Uh, gotta tell ya there's a lot of unhealthy human resources in this country boy! Well especially down in the south. Yeah Where if you actually go to a grocery store down there, you could really eat well in the South. I mean they have more fruits and vegetables especially in Florida than Georgia Actually Alabama too Uh...I mean you can do well but people just seem to want to eat just pork fat So we have a little Bay Area news that might wanna run by This is classic San Francisco You're missing San Francisco Yeah I'm missing it real bad

1:20:35 Yeah, check this out. Play this Bay Area News and tell me what you think. There's another developing story tonight a new revelation in a controversial police shooting San Francisco Police now say they did not fire the fatal bullet that killed 19 year old Kenneth Harding In fact he might have shot himself but there is big mystery where is the gun? Wait a minute who was it? Who was this? Some guy there was like a hunters point shooting. There was a shootout and so they finally decided that this guy shot himself But they can't find the gun This is how I'll go out this is classic curry shot him carry shot himself without a gun Yeah, without a gun he shot himself without a gun So this become a big scandal locally and everyone's grown about it now They've seemed to have phonied up some photo

1:21:28 Now the claim is, well he did have a gun. He shot himself and the gun flew out of his hand after he shot himself and then it landed somewhere nearby and somebody picked up the gun and ran off with it because they're looking for free guns on the street. But it was cordoned off so it seemed unlikely because there's a big shootout who's going to be around this area right? There are people shooting at each other this guy shooting there shooting him or whatever no one's gonna be hanging around but you know you'd be outta their right I believe they phoned up, they finally came with a photo that shows the dead guy there and then... Holding it with a photoshopped gun in his hand. A photoshopped gun on the ground nearby that disappeared. Oh yeah. That's the Ministry of Truth. It's great! Now i love it Hey, I think we were both very wrong on one thing though And this is surprising to me Don't ask don't tell certified

CHAPTER 28 / 47 Discussion

Don't Ask Don't Tell Repeal Certification

The hosts discuss the official certification of the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" repeal. They review the original language of the law and express surprise that the repeal is actually moving forward after a 60-day waiting period.

don't ask don't tell· military· lgbt· repeal· us code

1:22:24 Don't ask don't tell certified? Yeah, it's been certified so in 60 days from now the repeal act of don't ask. Don't tell goes into effect and If you're gay then You can let everyone know about it and you can get into the army if you're known to be gay or bisexual or in the military i should say that you know just right at this ad about brain fart but just for a second there was thinking see something safe and now too many of these days to keep track of yeah and uh... and i think i'm surprised certified so they're going to go ahead with it and actually had to do it also we kind of because shows us on the right track we played uh... the woman from san mateo who is telling all these horrible tales of sexual abuse on the last show i think that was you know trying to

1:23:11 Say that you know the military is not ready for this change But everyone signed off on it. The president did I mean didn't hear much about it because there was so much other news Maybe also the timing of that may have been coincidentals like oh, let's sign this real quick But yeah So now the 60-day clock starts to either one of two things happens either something happens And I'm not sure I never quite understood why we had to have the sixty days Is that like so we can if we do if we don't like that? We did it we can make something else happen or I think it's just to protect themselves from a lawsuit because make sure all the ducks are in a row so some one guy doesn't hear about it on time or he didn't know that this thing had passed. He didn't give him enough time and he got you know somebody gotten something bad happened because of it, I think that's the only reason. I think it's just a CYA situation

1:24:03 but uh... yeah i was just sixty days again everyone got the will gets the word right so now section ten of uh... wasn't uh... u s code six fifty four get stricken from the record actually i'd i've never really gone back and read all that don't ask don't tell me it's pretty horrible what's in there it really had literally says because you know the military can have anything go wrong they have their own their own uh... laws And it was funny as I was reading it. So this is the original Don't Ask, Don't Tell law which to me is like very interesting because if I had read this earlier I would have said something about it. A member of the armed forces shall be separated from the armed forces under regulations prescribed by the Secretary of Defense if one or more of the following findings are made and approved in accordance with proceedings set forth in such regulations

1:24:59 that the member has engaged in, attempted to engage in or solicited another to engage in a homosexual act or acts unless there are further findings may then approved and accordance with procedures set forth as such regulations blah blah blah. And so basically they're saying If you show or intend to show homosexual tendencies, you're out unless... and it was easy to get out of it because you say unless such conduct is a departure from the members usual and customary behavior. In other words I just got really horny didn't matter uh... such conduct under all circumstances unlikely to recur like on that they don't happen once i will do it again well actually i think that part is in there for the reason that you know somebody's in the military's not gay and he got all of a sudden decides he doesn't want to get shipped iraq for the tenth time so he starts acting different hello like their kids it's the clinger law yes i guess no i'm getting at that time now so uh... now of course this does not affect their um...

1:26:01 uh... was at the dome a status so you it's okay if you gay but you're not going to get your bit your benefits for your uh... same sex spouse so that'll be next on the menu and uh... but i am i am literally in absolutely surprised and proven wrong i really thought it would never happen by you know i'm gonna see what i had sixty days ago so done i'm happy for anybody who is no it's like me i can't wait to go to iraq So I'm happy about that. We'll see, it's not done yet. Aren't you surprised? Wow! I did not expect that at all. Well i am not surprised until it actually goes into play. I am still holding out and not buying it. The shills of the week have to be... Carnell West and Tavis Smiley Do you know these guys do a show together

CHAPTER 29 / 47 Discussion

Cornel West and Tavis Smiley Poverty Tour

Cornel West and Tavis Smiley are criticized for their "Poverty Tour," which the hosts characterize as a corporate-sponsored media stunt. They also discuss West's harsh criticism of Obama as a "black mascot of Wall Street."

cornel west· tavis smiley· poverty tour· msnbc· aarp

1:27:03 Together? Yeah, it's called the Smiley and West radio show. Oh I didn't know that because I know Smiley is on you know PA's on the nation's treasure yeah national treasure and West shows up on all kinds of talk to Fox and CNBC and everything in between And I like West because he's kooky You know he's got that... He sounds like, to me he sounds like an idiot and smiley. No offense to these guys but he sounds like an idiot and to have a smiley sound like a pretentious jerk with that phony baloney accent. Well yeah no they're both phonies And they show up on Pierce Morgan, Morgan

1:27:45 senses and i'm and i'm watching this in a way that day uh... west is really doing it for me because he uh... what did the he doesn't make the statement self but pierce morgan reads a statement from where from uh... west about uh... president obama Cornel West. Cornel, welcome! Blessed to be here. Nice to see you. Always a blessing to be on with Brother Ted. That's really overmodulated sorry. Now listen, you were a big supporter of President Obama Absolutely But you've also said this recently You described him as the black mascot of Wall Street oligarchs and a black puppet of corporate plutocrats And now he has become head of the American killing machine and is proud of it Pretty strong words

1:28:28 he's stand-by that will happen in the family and i support it when they're going to be a problem because i want to bring an end of the age of reagan green running amok at the top indifference to poor people can have a polarized by the politic so here he says uh... sorry about over modulation realize that as we said there is a pretty strong words right away okay this is good here we've got this uh... this crazy guy and these professor i think is very smart he has written um... some interesting uh... documents and uh... he said you know obama's basically the puppet of wall street like okay they go that's nice and then there so what are you doing about it well me and my brother where we have to start talking like this we got i think we should be no idea brother john brother john yes brother adam is a apparently it gets you up a bus tour sponsored by all kinds of uh... dubious organizations for now just how did your uh... starting august the sixth we are getting on a bus it's called the poverty tool or call to conscience

1:29:26 the poverty to all of us. The idea is to get on this bus and... Now I can't hear it! Yeah, yeah, I can hear it but its over modulated. Cities in small towns starting with Native Americans and African-Americans and Hispanics and white males and white women children and seniors and homeless veterans all across this country 15 different cities we're going to raise the issue of poverty when a talk to those persons who are battling it, who are struggling. Those who have lost their homes those don't have jobs those who are struggling to get an education we want to use this date this week of August the 6th through the 12th to put as much attention and focus spotlight on raising the issue poverty in America higher on the agenda So can you hear that? Can you here what they're saying

1:30:07 Yeah, they're gonna do something like some Clinton would do in his... sounds like they're setting up a way of collecting money. Exactly and the collecting it primarily for themselves is The Poverty Tour It's six whole days! Hey you want to poverty tour? Get an RV douchebag That's a poverty tour You wanna go visit some people who are just getting by They can do six days in a luxury bus And that's completely paid for listen Somebody has gotta use that Palin bus now back and really really that we're about to embark upon somebody has to stand up and defend and fight for it not be afraid to talk about the plight of the poor in this country. This issue is starting to get a lot more trash in this country, we are delighted that this tour is bringing other persons who believe as we believe that this issue got to be higher on their agenda The NEA supporting us on this, the AARP foundation supporting us on this

1:30:58 The NEA, the AARP is completely sponsored. They're complete shills and that really shows up when Pierce Morgan says okay I want to put a gun to your head which i thought was pretty funny and you have to choose a Republican candidate for president So guys come on! The metaphorical gun is at your head You've got to vote for one Republican nominee as things stand Since I don't see anybody yet on the Republican side who cares enough about poor and working people, I literally would just put their names on the wall and throw a dart at whoever it hit. That's good. I don't see a difference honestly.

1:31:42 be more specific, there must be one who's least threatening. There is not one. Use the legacy of Martin King he said we need a qualitative shift in our social and quantitative shift in our circumstances puts stress on poor and weak working people I don't see one republican anywhere near that The problem is the democrats hardly have any... I don't know what he said but I know that why couldn't either of them say Ron Paul? Couldn't either of them say Gary Johnson? Is it so far those guys dont have the poor and all americans best at heart Yeah, it's a good point. I mean you know if they're if the It is like they're part of the whole scheme Thank You marginalized for on Paul Johnson and the guys who make more sense than these other stooges I mean I'm not big on most Democrats but I'll certainly Kucinich is a good guy

CHAPTER 30 / 47 Discussion

Dennis Kucinich and the Chained CPI Scam

Congressman Dennis Kucinich explains the "Chained CPI" proposal, which would lower Social Security benefits by assuming seniors switch to cheaper products as prices rise. The hosts joke that this chains seniors to a "cat food" standard of living.

dennis kucinich· chained cpi· social security· inflation· cat food

1:32:32 You know, Kucinich has some really interesting things to say. Yeah I agree! In fact here's Kucinich from C-SPAN. The latest attack on elderly beneficiaries of social security is a scheme by which seniors' cost of living benefits will be cut through something called a Chained Consumer Price Index the CPI, chained involves a formula which recalculates the cost of living The theory behind the chained CPI is that as the cost of living goes up, consumers – in this case seniors – buy cheaper products. For example if poor seniors cannot afford to buy and eat steak but can only afford to buy and eat cheaper cat food

1:33:13 Their cost of living benefit would be chained to the cost of cat food because it's cheaper than steak, and as a result seniors will see their costs of living benefit reduced to the cheaper product. And get a smaller social security check The Chained CPI sets up seniors for reduced standard of living If you must afford less, you get less social security benefits The Chained CPI – chaining seniors to poverty Time to break those chains. I like it! What is this? I never even heard of this scam Yeah, well now that i understand it It's awesome Cat food for everybody It's the American dream! It's interesting The Chained Consumer Price Index BuzzKillJr noticed that ShadowStats Is discussing this in a newsletter That I'd like to recommend if people can afford it

CHAPTER 31 / 47 Discussion

Real Unemployment and the Southern Housing Bust

Using data from ShadowStats, the hosts discuss the real unemployment rate of 22.5%. They share anecdotes from the South about the devastating impact of the housing bust on construction workers and homeowners.

shadowstats· unemployment· housing market· florida· construction

1:34:13 Shadow Stats is an operation out of San Francisco that takes a look at real numbers as opposed to government bullcrap numbers and they're the ones who say we're at about 22.5% unemployment rate in reality, which I'm sure you were seeing down where you're floating around on your side. Oh let me tell ya... And what's interesting is here in the South everyone talks about The Bus like it was this huge event You don't hear that in California necessarily you know the way it's talked about down here after the bust, we got a good buddy here our Hot Pox 2008 producer he had to move to the other side of the state to work at Cape Canaveral. He is in construction so he is really lucky that he has some construction over there and uh... he has been through, he only has a house here and he hasn't been unable to sell his house

1:35:06 He's come very close twice. Once the woman lost her job so he couldn't close then, then he had a two-month closing it was through government program and they found out that because the house had a pool... And by the way you know pool here is not like a luxury, it's not like Beverly Hills You know its' like you get a pool so you can like not die in the heat But also all beds are off, thats a luxury home because it has a pool The poor guy can't sell his house Chad You know, so he's paying rent. He's paying mortgage... No it's bad down here! It's bad! I wouldn't mind seeing Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich together we could call it the... you know... The Kooky Party Yeah that would be the way it would be described by the media That's why I'm saying it but boy something would get done I tell ya that Yeah no that's absolutely true So anyway these two shills Oh we don't know anybody? No I have no idea! And no one talking any sense on the Republican party

1:36:11 Imagine all the people who could do that Poor John, man. I know you're getting towards that age when you think, hey hold on a minute... I'm gonna be eating cat food! Eating cat food? It's the new normal. You say, hey that what you can afford and that is what we are paying for. That's right. What kind of logic is this? Cat food is the new filet mignon. I can't afford to eat anything okay well give me no money Well I can afford to eat cat food. Well good that's the new standard here's your cat food

CHAPTER 33 / 47 Discussion

Listener Recovery and the One Percenters

The hosts share a letter from a listener entering rehab and another from a student increasing their donation to avoid being a "freeloading boner." They emphasize the show's role as insurance against media brainwashing.

1:41:19 John, I don't know if he wants his name really mentioned but... Yeah actually does. John Little here hope you and Miss Mickey are enjoying the tour? I'm entering a 28-day outpatient alcohol and prescription drug rehab on Monday could use some karma don't mind if you mention the reason why I'm not ashamed maybe someone here will hear it and take stock of their selves so I definitely want to give you some karma my friend. You've got karma! Hey Adam and John, I was listening to No Agenda for last Thursday. Heard that there was only one producer-level donor and felt terrible for you guys wanted to encourage you in your plight against the new world order. I've signed up for $5 a month. I'm a student paying my own way through college! That's right, my friend...

1:42:02 have countless expenses are going to come due at the end of the summer but a value what the no agenda show stands for a feel i've been mooching for too long i started listening for two years and i love this show that is uh... alex mckenzie thank you very much jen's paul v from get more east seems uh... it means the summer approaches i should do my bit to make up for the shortfall in donations as true this summer is very very difficult after all things internet With that in mind, I've increased my monthly giving level from $30 to $50. That's $50 a month! I really appreciate what Paul is doing here as a No Agenda listener since episode 1 the value of No Agenda was reinforced last week when i took the kids to the movies two adults and two children cost 38 pounds around 60 dollars before popcorn and a bucket of aspartame

1:42:52 It's pretty obvious that 16 hours per month of No Agenda is a heck of a lot more entertaining than Harry Frickin Potter or the latest 3D animation. And whilst I could be a freeloading boner, that isn't me! If it's good, I pay for it! I look at No Agenda as sort of an insurance policy against media brainwashing so far its been working Keep up the good work guys thank you so much and finally Dr Ray Kuzera here's the note I've been listening for over a year, decided it was time to stop being a feminine hygiene washing sack. That's sticking by the way! We need a jingle... Feminine Hygiene Washing Sack

CHAPTER 36 / 47 Discussion

Australian Carbon Tax and the Hokey Pokey

A clip from the Australian Parliament features MP Mary Jo Fisher mocking the proposed carbon tax by performing a version of the "Hokey Pokey." The hosts use this to highlight the global push for carbon taxation.

australia· carbon tax· mary jo fisher· parliament· hokey pokey

1:48:52 So we're following Gitmo Nation down under, very important because this will be the first country that has the carbon tax which is basically being rammed on everybody's throat and they have their own version of C-SPAN down there. Which I think...I don't know what it's called But there's a lot of it, and it is available on YouTube which is really nice. So there's this I guess Member of Parliament, I don't know enough about the Australian system now her name is Mary Jo Fisher And so they have kind of a combination of what they do in the United Kingdom, where you know they can talk crazy and insult people while their up there standing. It's a cross between that and our system where they stand up and theres like no other side and there is no hooting or hollering necessary and they can just go nuts for like five minutes or whatever their allotted time is. This woman I mean if she's on drugs she needs to be sharing

1:49:53 The members opposite have got no answers and I rise to take note of the no answers given in question time today. And to note Mr Acting Deputy President that all this government is doing is dancing a dance, dancing a very merry dance is our Prime Minister at the behest of the Greens. Dancing a very merry dance to avoid calling attacks a tax, dancing a very merry dance to try and deny that she has broken her promise that there would not be under her government ever ever a carbon tax.

1:50:31 Dancing a very merry dance, Mr Acting Deputy President. We might as well do that hokey pokey again on a datable policy that's all pain and no gain. It is bereft of detail it is a total dud and all it will do is disturb the market that's the hockey hockey mister acting deputy president it's corrective details so is petrol in, is petrol out you put petrol in you take petrol out. You put petrol in and you shake the tax about. You do the hokey pokey and ooh! You turn right around And this goes on for like seven minutes It's all about the hokey pokey and the dance and very merry very merry merry dance

White House Rural Council and Smart Meters

The newly established White House Rural Council is identified as a front for "Agenda 21" initiatives. The hosts warn that the rollout of smart meters to rural communities is a tool for controlling energy prices and usage.

CHAPTER 40 / 47 Discussion

Michele Bachmann Migraines and Pharmaceutical Commercials

Reports on Michele Bachmann's migraines are characterized as a "stealth commercial" for pharmaceutical drugs. Dr. Sanjay Gupta's medical analysis is critiqued for sounding like a scripted endorsement for Sumatriptan and Zofran.

michele bachmann· migraines· sanjay gupta· sumatriptan· zofran

1:57:26 necessarily stinksy thanks is guy anyways going on and i are all revenues all worked out about about barbara a barber but uh... michelle bachman's uh... migraines so yeah as it is all over the news though she's got my grains and she's a piece of work whoever acts staffers things that she's a grouch actually had this whole thing it just i have not really afraid of her yeah well i'm afraid of ritual and she has a thousand yard stare which is like uh... well that in the fact that she's her husband's you know this group on x gay you know gay whatever day hunter or whatever it is but when they want to return at this great show yeah i am michelle bachman's husband i'm the gator hunter he argues your son jay well take care of

1:58:24 I had a clip from the last show we didn't play. Let me see if i still have it It was about...it was with Wolf and Sanjay Gupta And they were discussing it, maybe I don't have any Oh here is yeah! And he actually...because he's on drugs And this is the big thing, it's like oh can she still function on drugs? You wanna hear that? It was kind of interesting. Yeah play it! about her headaches and her health. It says, let me read it to you in part that your migraines occur infrequently and have known trigger factors of... So I guess she got a note from her doctor that says its okay its okay to run for president yeah I say so. Factors which you are aware and know how to avoid when you do have a migraine you were able to control it well with as needed

1:59:21 Sumatriptan and Odansitron. Okay, sumatriptan and odansitron John can you please? All right let's go. Sumatran first one Sumatran no sumatripta sumatripta your migraines occur infrequently and have known trigger factors of you have known trigger factors of which you are aware and know how to avoid when you do have a migraine you were able to control it well with as needed sumatriptan sumatriptan sumatripton got it yeah

2:00:02 and odansetron. Odansetron, which is like orgasmatron I think well the first... anyway Sanjay Gupta will explain it has not been necessary for you to take daily scheduled medications to manage this condition let's bring in our chief medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta who is a neurosurgeon what? Oh, and the Danzatron is Zofran. It's for cancer patients I think right? No Zofran no that said one of those drugs like a Prozac kind of a clone oh really now what are these drugs Sanjay do Well, Sumatriptan is a pretty well-known migraine medication. The theory is that when someone has a migraine the blood vessels in the brain typically on one side of the head only are sort of in spasm and what sumatriptan does it sort of stabilizes those blood vessels so the amount of blood flow's not changing as the blood flow is in spasm

2:00:59 when a headache is coming on. So you take it to try and treat the headache, and that's to distinguish it from something that you take to prevent headaches in the first place. This is to treat the headaches It does have some side effects, I assume a Triptan can cause dizziness, it can cause nausea itself feeling sometimes like the room is spinning around you The other medication Odansetron is basically used to control nausea and vomiting either from the migraine headache itself or from the side effect of the first medication so they're pretty typically used in combination with So, what the bottom line could taking these drugs and migraines actually debilitate her ability if she were elected president? You know I... they're pretty commonly used drugs and in full disclosure I suffer from migraines myself so I have... There it is. It's a commercial! The whole thing is a commercial Sounds like it Hey, it's good for Sanjay Some personal experience with these medications The medications are thinking about you It's just a commercial

2:01:59 It's unbelievable, it's great. Don't worry about it! It's all good...it's just a commercial! Hot Pockets Wouldn't be funny if you know in full disclosure Sanjay Gupta You know I eat hot pockets and there's to find the very nutritious 40 varieties works by blocking the action of serotonin blah blah blah It's used for all kinds of things that one. I thought I thought it was pretty nasty Just these things are all ridiculous. No, but the fact that you sit there just peddling it like a commercial Yeah We don't even know that she takes the did they say that that came from The Doctor's Letter that the plug was in there? Yeah The doctors letter yeah, well he Wolf said he was reading in verbatim Of course the doctors are paid to prescribe that They're paid and their room is spinning

CHAPTER 41 / 47 Discussion

Celebrity Drug Endorsements and Marijuana Addiction

The hosts examine the trend of celebrity drug endorsements, such as Phil Mickelson for Enbrel. They also mock Dr. Drew's "Celebrity Rehab" for treating marijuana addiction with heavy psychiatric medications like Abilify.

enbrel· phil mickelson· dr. drew· marijuana· addiction

2:03:00 Yeah, the room is so there's a lot of this celebrity stuff going on here you have instead of just You know the commercial with the anonymous person I think that trend you know. I think we've seen enough of those commercials though You know and now it's like I think it's becoming more of us I think we're having they the what do you call it? The host endorsement style of commercials for these drugs And that's what we're seeing with that one you just did with group to saying he loves this stuff yeah Full disclosure, coincidentally I've got an Embrol commercial which has a huge major golfer that's plugging this stuff. What is Embrol? Well i guess we're going to find out what that is.

2:03:38 If you have painful swollen joints, I've been in your shoes. One day i'm on top of the world. The next time saying... I have this thing called psoriatic arthritis and had some intense pain it progressively got worse My rheumatologist told me about Embril I'm surprised how quickly my symptoms have been managed. Because Enbrel suppresses your immune system, it may lower your ability to fight infections. Serious sometimes fatal events including infections tuberculosis lymphoma other cancers and nervous system and blood disorders have occurred before starting Enbrel Your doctor should test you for tuberculosis and discuss whether you've been to a region where certain fungal infections are common

2:04:15 Don't start Enbrel if you have an infection like the flu. Tell your doctor if you're prone to infections, have cuts or sores, have had hepatitis B, been treated for heart failure, or while on Enbrel you experience persistent fever bruising bleeding or paleness Get back to the things that matter most Good job girls! Ask your rheumatologist if Enbrel is right for you Yeah awesome Dr Drew is still prescribing all kinds of weird stuff for pot addiction Hold on, here it comes. Okay? Because marijuana addiction is really rough and by the way there's a withdrawal from it that lasts about 7 to 10 days and you get very irritable and a little bit paranoid too so if you start feeling that way we can give you stuff for that. It's not a fun withdrawal. Well pledge your medium and let's uh...you know get through the night and start working here

2:05:07 Jessica is a severe, severe addict. With the amount of alcohol and pot that she's been consuming her withdrawal is going to be intense and protracted We're in for a very long haul with Jessica And so he's gonna give her a Billify Every single show I want our producers to be on lookout for this Everything is now a drug ad we are literally into the just take your med slave portion I'm telling you it is really outrageous Hello? Now that took so long John Yeah? I'm here

CHAPTER 42 / 47 Discussion

Norway Shooter and New York Times Marijuana Memes

The hosts link the Norway shooter to a "marijuana" meme and note the New York Times' increasing coverage of legal marijuana in Arizona. They suggest these stories are part of a broader media programming effort.

norway· marijuana· arizona· new york times· memes

2:06:00 Really? Are you there, are you sure? Hello Johnny! Are ya there?" So uh... that was really weird. What happened is the internet completely broke everything dropped out and then my screens went black It was an EMP! Could've been Okay, what were we talking about? I was mentioning that marijuana seems to be a huge meme in the New York Times of late. Oh really why are they all over it well Drew's got marijuana addicts and he's given them a bill of fire. The Norway guy by the way the Norway shooter back off from your mic just a bit you're really... The Norway shooter was a marijuana guy did you know that? No i didn't oh makes total sense okay

2:06:45 Yeah, he was a marijuana guy. And now the front page of... let's see this was the Saturday paper which has all the real news. Legal marijuana in Arizona yes for buyers no for sellers right on the front page below the fold Hey wait a minute did we miss doing your segment? I'm sorry did we completely screw that up We didn't do it if that's what you're wondering. Do you want to wrap things up and do your uh... Well we could do a quickie, I mean there is not much good stuff on the Saturday papers got pretty much two or three pieces the Sunday paper is typically lame. Well hold on let us do it properly then. Alright hit it. John's gonna harm the Sunday Times Just fist your mic a bit man You are over modulating. Now I am back here now Yeah much better

CHAPTER 43 / 47 Discussion

New York Times Rhetorical Triples and Wealthy Revenues

John Dvorak analyzes the rhetorical structures used in the New York Times, specifically the use of "triples" to create a sense of balance. He also critiques the paper's framing of tax hikes as "raising revenues on wealthy Americans."

new york times· rhetoric· john boehner· taxes· propaganda

2:07:37 So, the Sunday paper of course has got some interesting memes at the bottom which is something that we'll make sure we can deball American males. Top of the little listings is progress on male contraception. Male contraceptives are attracting growing interest from scientists. Oh yeah! We have to depopulize everybody Pakistan spies on its diaspora spreading fear. There's something going on there, we don't know what. Meanwhile the Saturday paper which has the good stuff has the Norway rattling thing it has an interesting use of associative sentence structures where they talk about... It reminds people that attacks in Beirut or Baghdad or Oklahoma City

2:08:26 trying to make it done as a triple which is to give you the idea that there's three things that means its accurate. I should tell people about this trick when your writer, when your going to try and exemplify or compare with something you can use like two things like the guy was good and bad or you can use three things, the guy was good and bad and indifferent. Or you can use four things which is the guy was good and bad indifference and crazy And the mental effect on people is different for each of those three structures that just using two things as a indication that solid information don't really have to discuss it The Trinity is always the one you want to encourage people to believe that the report is balanced

2:09:15 And the fourth one, we use four things or more. That is to indicate that you're emotionally into it and there's a lot of you gonna be going off the deep end here pretty minute. Okay? I always get a kick out of seeing those little triples that show up and also there's another one that's kind of funny on the Saturday paper debt limit talks break-up again as speaker quits Obama defends a Saturday meeting, demands a Saturday meeting with lawmakers and this is kind of cool. This is in paragraph 1 2 3 4 5 Mr. Obama said Mr. Boehner had stopped returning his calls which I think it's funny yeah he won't take my call! Hey man, my battery was dead when it became clear that rank-and-file House Republicans would not...this is the kicker this is a little piece of propaganda right in the middle

2:10:04 would not agree to raise revenues on wealthy Americans. I didn't know that was the whole thing, is it just a raise revenue soak the rich or to raise taxes for the wealth? That's obviously...that was the point of this whole thing it's a raised taxes on the rich. Yeah let's get them! I love how everyone just says it's about raising revenue yeah that's great It's a great way to say it. The whole thing is bullshit but anyway that's my New York Times report for today okay John's gonna harm the Sunday Times While we're at it, we might as well do this one for you A couple of magic numbers for you today new jingle by the way. Hope you like that Brad Pitt's production company hoping to win the screen rights to the story of The 33 Chilean miners rescued from the collapsed mine shaft

CHAPTER 44 / 47 Discussion

Numerology of 33 in Global News Events

The hosts track the recurring use of the number "33" in news stories, including the Chilean miners, a Chinese train crash, and a Japanese horse race. They suggest the number may serve as a triggering mechanism or code.

33· chilean miners· china train crash· dubai world cup· numerology

2:11:00 Thank you very much Brad. But of course the one that was the most emailed I would say is about the high-speed bullet train in China, China collided with another high speed train in China some of the carriages fell off a viaduct killing at least 33 people Yeah, it's funny because that is an interesting story. A bunch of the news headlines that had 33 were changed to 35. Oh really?
