About this episode

The Australian government under Prime Minister Julia Gillard is moving to implement a controversial carbon tax, introducing a new enforcement class known as carbon cops. These agents possess the authority to enter private premises and compel evidence, with non-compliant corporations facing million-dollar fines and individuals risking up to ten years in prison. This legislative shift occurs as new NASA satellite data analyzed by Dr. Roy Spencer suggests the Earth's atmosphere retains significantly less heat from carbon dioxide than current climate models predict.

In the United States, Representative Ron Paul characterizes the ongoing debt ceiling negotiations as a theatrical performance, claiming a deal was finalized behind the scenes long before the public debate. Senator Marco Rubio countered accusations of extremism by reading past statements from Barack Obama and Joe Biden where they personally opposed raising the debt limit. Meanwhile, the TSA is expanding its Behavioral Detection Officer program to include Israeli-style profiling, and the New York Air National Guard has announced plans to begin domestic drone training flights over the Adirondack Park using Reaper drones.

Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak broadcast from a mobile command center in Austin, Texas, where they explore the local gun culture and the peculiar appearance of the number 33 in recent Starbucks and Mexican military reports. The duo analyzes the Tuvok-Obama preconditioning theory, suggesting the logical cadence of the Star Trek: Voyager character prepared the public for the current administration. The episode concludes with a review of Roman Polanski’s The Ghost Writer and a look at South Korea’s new glow-in-the-dark cloned beagles.

CHAPTER 02 / 50 Discussion

Fort Hood Foiled Attack and Nasir Abdu Court Appearance

Local news reports detail a foiled attack on Fort Hood involving Private First Class Nasir Abdu, who previously interviewed with Al Jazeera. Abdu appeared in a Waco courtroom facing charges related to the possession of a firearm and bomb-making materials, including a pressure cooker and gunpowder. Skepticism is expressed regarding the severity of the charges and the narrative presented by local media outlets.

02:13 Now of course, as we rolled into town John it's great. We had some local breaking news and there is nothing like local TV stations to get the B team reading the scripts Of course this was another... a foiled attack on Fort Hood You follow this? Oh yeah This is kind of a stretch They're not getting any traction with it either because all this congressional action So when you get the local news that's when it really becomes funny You know, it's like because you know they get the I guess they get the missive from on high as like okay We're gonna we got to stir up something. We got another foot hood problem So way understand is there's this sergeant or that? I'm sorry private first class and he did an interview with Al Jazeera what two years ago

03:03 And of course, they're filming him in the barracks. They're filming him in his uniform. He's praying towards Mecca I'm sure all of this is perfectly acceptable right? It's not a problem whatsoever Are you still with me because I am seeing problems here Oh yeah? Yeah Maybe not Well keep talking We'll just keep going and pretend nothings wrong There's like no security officer that making a big deal about that at all That's no problem But apparently this guy went to buy some ammo and some guns, and that was... Oh! He's gonna attack Fort Hood. Yeah right well let's make yeah and I guess some gunpowder or something I don't know Well i got the clips for you local news is always the best if you want to see through all of the BS here you go The alleged attack was going to focus on killing fort hood soldiers but it wouldn't have happened inside a fort hood That's why some people surrounding the army post are feeling a little uneasy whether they're a soldier or not

04:03 Just across the street from Fort Hood sits Mission Taco. Come in at any hour, you'll probably find a soldier... It's great right? Mission Taco! Yeah this is set up This is perfect But Friday he also found some head shaking He was born in Texas American citizen and then he wants to pull this stuff This man works on construction on Fort Hood A place that has seen violence before and now just skirted more It makes lunch a little harder to digest. He felt kinda unsafe Did you hear, by the way? Did you hear like the anthem in the background on that? Very subtle No I didn't hear the anthem but i was still trying to digest something or other What was it? It's looks like lunch is tougher to digest These guys are corny Who writes this stuff?! But 60 miles away security was airtight as Nasir Abdu appeared in a Waco courtroom but showed little respect for him

04:52 refusing to stand before the judge and then shouting the names of Fort Hood shooting suspect Nidal Hassan and an Iraqi girl who was raped and killed by US soldiers in 2006. So I love this, like you know why don't we have that audio or that video? Wouldn't he just walk into the courtroom go HASSAN! HASSAN! AND GIRL WHO WAS RAPED! Whose name apparently we don't know at uh...the local TV station You still with me John Yeah, no I'm just listening go on. Okay? No. I'm sorry. I'm just I'm seeing stuff That's saying that we're not connected so I'll just keep going until Until you're gone an affidavit was then unsealed showing abdus backpack and hotel had all the things one would need to blow things up clocks wire gunpowder pressure cookers ah pressure cooker this Did you know that guy likes to cook this is what you need when they're gonna create a bomb as a pressure cooker?

05:44 I didn't know that was a necessary piece of equipment. A pressure cooker? No! What do you do, put the gunpowder in the pressure cooker? Well, you put it in the pressure cooker as a container for... because you want to thing to kind of hold up Oh okay so a pipe is no good It has to be a pressure cooker Essentially a pressure cooker IS a pipe For these purposes But a pipe is probably cheaper Yeah Alright I waste a good pressure cooker Now the kicker comes at the end of this report which is hilarious. Magazine article and the targets would be restaurants soldiers often visited just like Mission Taco So they're gonna he wasn't going to actually shoot up in Fort Hood, He was gonna blow up mission taco We didn't know until CID came in and then we looked it up on

06:27 on the internet and that's how we found out about it. Janet Boyd, who has an army husband says they didn't know about the plot until the investigators walked in from across the street. We were just asking some questions about if he had any security cameras or if we knew any information or had heard of seen him It is close call at place that sits very close by in a place that still has a tragic November 2009 memory that is never far away. It's a constant, you know reminder of what had happened but you just have to pray and just let what's going happen happen and trust our government will take care of us I love it! Trust that our government is gonna take care of us John That all... You've got to trust the governments gonna get take care of us And what was this guy actually charged with? Nabdo next due in court on August 4th he faces up to 10 years in prison if convicted

07:12 did a possession of firearm which was the only charge he was faced with on Friday. So this whole thing... What? He was only, the only thing that he was charged with was having a firearm which I think in the state of Texas is like it's like you go to the Boy Scouts and get your concealed carry permit what is that 10 years for having a firearm? And thats' the only thing he was charged with? That doesn't make sense. No, of course it doesn't make sense and they have but i have to say getting ten years a charge for having a pressure cooker now now that you're talking i talk in my language so uh... this thing is obviously bogus uh... and i had to be a year right it's not get much traction so they try to bring out the gun or at the gun shop owner now john this is all part of these see something say something campaign yet by here we go notice on that day with something from them very beginning right

CHAPTER 03 / 50 Discussion

See Something Say Something Campaign and Taxi Suspicion

A gun shop owner reported a suspicious individual to the police because the man arrived at the business in a commercial taxi rather than a personal vehicle. This incident is highlighted as part of the "See Something Say Something" campaign. The narrative contrasts this suspicion with the prevalent gun culture in Texas, where many citizens legally carry firearms.

see something say something· taxi· surveillance· terrorism· gun culture· texas

08:11 I think our first concern or what drew our attention to the young man was the fact that he arrived at the business in a commercial taxi. Stop! The press is... Isn't that great? Hold on a second. Are you driving in a cab, You could be a terrorist son, you're terror. Terror. But it keeps going and its great And why was that odd to you It just seemed out of place. We don't often have people come to the store in taxis, it wasn't a major issue at the moment. So I called the cops! If you ain't rolling up in your F-150 with a gun rack... You're kind of suspicious son! Through the surveillance system at the store we were able to see

09:07 Taxi pull into the lot. The driver got out, he's kind of milling around the vehicle. Oh no! Oh the driver was kicking his tires! I call the cops This is crazy Meanwhile... At our meetup yesterday I would say conservatively 45% of the producers had guns with them. Seriously! Yeah, you're in Texas people carry their... It's fantastic and you know who i met? Do you remember the story about we got a donation from a guy and a girl and hold on a second I have have their names here

CHAPTER 04 / 50 Discussion

Texas Lifestyle, Real Estate, and Infrastructure Observations

Observations on the Texas lifestyle include the lack of personal income tax and the high quality of road infrastructure compared to California. The discussion covers the hot, dry climate of Austin and the local real estate market. A personal anecdote involves a vehicle getting stuck in a driveway, causing damage to a road in a gated community near Lake Travis.

09:46 It was Melissa and John DeLeon. And she would play the airline traveler, and he would play the TSA agent at home? And they do the enhanced pat-down game? Do you remember that?

Now its nothing like Louisiana I mean that was really bad Yeah no when I went to Texas when it was 106 and I'm roaming around and it's just very comfortable at that temperature Its okay yeah absolutely okay And they do have a drought right now so we're right near Lake Travis staying in a friend of mine This is a friend, Greg Lawley who's been my friend for 25 years and we see each other like once every five six years. And so it just happens he's in town... Does he tear up your driveway too? He now has an invitation to come mess up my driveway I mean I had to move the Duchess, the 4WD 5000, to a better spot to get to Wi-Fi

11:32 And I backed out of the driveway and I got stuck like Obama's limousine at the embassy. And uh, I dug a groove in one of these gated communities. I swear to God if kids are riding their bikes down this street they're gonna wipe out when they hit this thing. Like OH! So we're gonna have to figure that out before I leave. He's not going to be happy, but Greg... How did you get into the driveway without digging a hole? Well for some reason when it has to do with the angle But i was backing out and uh and i was in a hurry because you know We were late to start the show And so anyway i'll fix it with greg but greg has is a 7 000 square foot home here It's amazing

CHAPTER 05 / 50 Discussion

Austin Culture, University of Texas, and Social Dynamics

Austin is described as an intellectual and cultural hub featuring the University of Texas, a significant film industry, and a prominent music scene. The conversation touches on the social dynamics of the city, including the appearance of local women and the presence of a large gay community. Comparisons are made between the atmosphere in Austin and other intellectual centers like Berkeley.

austin· university of texas· dell· film industry· music capital· social dynamics

13:07 uh... and young miss mickey is that a couple times as i could live here but i could live here okay there's lots to do this has got it said intellectual community like berkeley well not like burke even though no then they don't have bamboo utensils john is not like berkley at all what look around, they do have bamboo utensils. There are some yes but that's kind of the cool thing But they have a big college there that I'm trying to relay here The big University of Texas which actually has better one of the big budgets right now They're actually one of the top schools in the country so you'll have a lot of smart kids around there

13:42 and uh... and they're already nice little place and they're pretty everyone's pretty well everybody gets dolled up in texas if that they talk to women about this because uh... it's actually but you know if you go into a office environment typically the women are just dole dot there were a hot clothes or got a lot of makeup on and they get their hair all done and i've asked women about this or from other parts of the country and they say yeah you know it's a little ego there is a holy crap you know what's going on with these women And then I'm told you get into it real fast. What do you mean? In other words, you said this is a lot of fun! Oh yeah no, you get used to it, you mean. It's like yeah, I could...I like it here Is that what your talking about?

I would consider living here There are two direct flights daily to LA 3 hours It's nice man Oh by the way real estate prices Hello! Very low Yeah, no and there's no personal income tax. Here is the question I always ask people we have the same thing in Washington state there is no personal income tax. Right Why are services, roads and everything

CHAPTER 06 / 50 Discussion

State Tax Policies and Rick Perry's Political Standing

The benefits of states without personal income tax, such as Texas and Washington, are compared to the high-tax environment of California. Governor Rick Perry is criticized for his efforts to implement toll roads across Texas. Despite local unpopularity regarding specific policies, there is speculation that Perry could become the Republican nominee for president.

rick perry· income tax· toll roads· washington state· california· republican nominee

15:24 Much much better. Yeah, that has you notice this right we drove up so we came from Houston and So you go up I 10 or over I 10 and then you get on Texas 72 the best road We have driven on yet Smooth as as ice no bumps, you know just like beautiful Mickey actually fell asleep in the back Yeah, no you find this and it is the same thing in Washington State compared to California. The roads here are disrepair because of these uh... because there's so much money to be scammed it actually worsens goods and services. You can't..it's unbelievable these states with personal income taxes

16:06 Really need to look around I've been to unfortunately a lot of these states without the personal income tax they see that huge gold mine of Soaking their own citizens. Yeah, keep going to do it It's funny you say that because of course there is one downside to the entire state of Texas and that would be Rick Perry adios mofo and so he of course has corrupted a lot and and he's tried to turn every single road into a toll road. And the people in Austin just won't have it, but if you drive up there is a toll road, the Katie Toll Road I think it is which no one's on of course and so that guy...and that is not a popular guy around these parts. That guys bad news! Yeah, and people here are saying you watch he's gonna be the Republican nominee

17:00 Nah, I'm just saying what the people around these parts talking about Johnny boy. So But wow yeah that people in the Baroness in the chat room just said Adam sounds happy Yeah, I am first of all here with my buddy. It's great hanging out but This is just beautiful right it's a contender John. It is an absolute contented shoot made Christina might even move here with us She could work here, there's tons of work. Yeah she'd fit in, make herself up do her hair you know the whole thing she looks like a Texas girl almost already. She does it just needs some boots. Some boots and a hat and she's good to go! A bandana! Oh man it was great And the meetup was spectacular we missed you very much You have to realize John that um... We were little bit late because of course Chris Coolings The Fed uh went the wrong way

CHAPTER 07 / 50 Discussion

Texas Concealed Carry Laws and Crime Rate Correlation

The correlation between high rates of concealed carry permit holders and low crime rates in Texas is examined. The "politeness" of the local population is attributed to the widespread presence of firearms. This is contrasted with the United Kingdom, where strict gun laws coincide with reports of frequent knife-related crimes.

concealed carry· crime rate· texas· firearms· gun laws· united kingdom

17:58 Where's the Pentagon from here? Let me just think. Oh by the way, it's the panic The Austin Capitol is the only capital building in Texas that has its ass pointed towards Washington Did you know that is this their little story? That's their story I like yeah, I'm buying it Yeah, what I'm buying it. I like it. I like it By the way Christina could get a gun. That'd be cool I can get a gun in California. Yeah, but here everyone's you know it's a concealed permit. Yeah, and you can carry? Yeah! Loaded! Yeah, duh! I love it! Yay! This is my kind of time. And what's the crime rate? Very low. You know why? Very low. We had... who drove us back

18:49 This is the anomaly that nobody wants to talk about. The fact that Texas has carry, uh... That you can carry a weapon and the crime rate is one of the lowest in the country Right so we're talking with Gordon Walton who drove us back And he says I got a gun on me right now So I go two Got one in my car, got one in my hip And he says, you know crime rate's really low here. You know we're really polite to each other. I said yeah because you don't see a lot of road rage around here He says were polite because the guy might have a gun and blow your head off so we are all really nice to each other It is very low crime! Like this works... it is crazy when you think about it like everyone has got guns Crime is low There's no personal income tax yet the city's not broke How does that work?

19:38 counterintuitive well-known or left left wing intuitive right leftist will you know somebody is a liberal uh... mentality would be they don't understand the mechanism whatsoever it's just possible for so uh... and some people by wages don't want to believe it and it's and i understand certainly in uh... in the international world of media that people are stuck in You know, if when you talk about Texas in like Gitmo Nation Lowlands or Gitmo Nation East in the UK it's like everyone has got guns that are just crazy man! It is crazy. And meanwhile in the UK you get a shiv in your ribs If you look at someone funny in the pub there are a lot of knifings going on and it is weird to think about but it does work somehow magically it just does work

CHAPTER 08 / 50 Discussion

Austin Meetup Recap and Texas Barbecue Recommendations

A recap of the Austin meetup describes the gathering of 33 producers on 7th Street. The conversation shifts to Texas culinary specialties, specifically emphasizing the importance of authentic brisket barbecue over Tex-Mex. The hosts plan to visit a local barbecue establishment before leaving the state.

CHAPTER 09 / 50 Discussion

CB Radio Culture and Trucker Communication

While stuck in traffic on I-10 in Houston due to a fuel spill, the experience of listening to CB radio is described as "Twitter for truckers." The discussion covers the technical aspects of CB radio, including the use of illegal linear amplifiers and the distinct speaking styles of various operators.

CHAPTER 10 / 50 Discussion

Senator Lisa Murkowski and C-SPAN Media Performance

Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska is featured in a C-SPAN clip discussing the difficulty of explaining congressional proceedings to the public. Her performance is analyzed for its media-savvy nature, specifically her habit of looking directly into the camera to engage the viewing audience.

lisa murkowski· c-span· alaska· debt limit· media· senate

25:10 I don't know to be honest about it, but i heard her talk and i know which one it is. And she...I didn't clip because I thought she was just kind of being a little uh... coy pontificating too you know we need to be more honest meanwhile everybody's lying well that's fair! I never see so much out now lying on both sides by the way Well she said something which I thought was directed towards us I thought she was sending us a message I shall explain with this short clip. My brother and sister-in-law are pretty educated people, they follow the news they follow the politics fascinated by what was going on in his body and really trying to understand what it was that was going on

25:52 And I was trying to convey to them. And I realized if it's this difficult for me as a member of this body, to explain to somebody that is really pretty plugged into what is going on What is happening here? Imagine the confusion Of the person who just occasionally tunes in to C-SPAN Right on that's us except. We're not so the cage we're not all okay I spend more time on C-span But I heard that as like yeah if people tuned into c-span and they could actually sit through that drivel They would have a clue as to what's really going on, but it's one big show So i'm watching her she's tagging the camera. What do you mean tagging? She's hitting it with her eyeball. Oh Yeah, oh yeah. No she's um. She's a media sexpert

26:42 So she's like banging that thing, you know just looking right at it and talking about C-SPAN because she's talking right to the audience. Nobody else did that. Yeah, she was good I have a couple of interesting little clips that i want to get out of the way One of them is The douchebag from Texas by the way Hold on John, can I just say something really funny? So I'm looking out the window and then uh... i see a neighbor go by on a golf cart and actually hit the brakes and go around the groove in the street. Oh jeez! I am so sorry Greg He's reporting it immediately because he got that golf cart, he is obviously going to report it to the homeowner's association We see something really weird we've got an RV like with hot pockets on it up there number 108 and uh... I don't know what there's like they may be..I think gunpowder in that groove

He said it's all a show and the deal is already done. ...behind you're not supporting it Is part of your thinking though also politics? What happens to the bill in the Senate and what happens after that

CHAPTER 12 / 50 Discussion

Congressional Debt Ceiling Debate and Disingenuous Rhetoric

The competing debt ceiling bills from John Boehner and Harry Reid are discussed, with both sides accused of using disingenuous rhetoric. Clips from Nancy Pelosi and Bernie Sanders claim the Republican plan targets Social Security and Medicare, while David Dreier challenges Democrats to find specific language in the Boehner bill that mandates such cuts.

john boehner· harry reid· nancy pelosi· bernie sanders· debt ceiling· social security

29:15 No, I think that's sort of not much of my concern. That's what most of what is going on here with all the politics...I've heard they already know when they'll finally come out of this but they have to go up until last minute and see who gets blamed for whatever and see if we can get the best edge but... There you go! It's already done Yeah, that makes sense to me. So who do you think is going to get the best edge? Because we know this is obviously a show and big scam and they're gonna raise the debt limit Who's gonna get the edge and how it's gonna play out Well thats the problem because right now we have two bills competing neither one of them are acceptable on either side

29:54 and uh... and by the way we would it will end with one of us to read harry reese supposedly is compromise bill that he dreamed up because you want his name on in there painters got his bill on the other side in and all they do is moan and groan on the air democrats said that bainer's bills gonna cut social security but they have a couple short clips typical input that like them nancy pelosi could play their real quick on a second where is mancy It's really funny, the power keeps going on and off. Is it possible that there is like a breaker? That does like half shutdown or something Have you ever heard of that? Well there are some things that will go off I mean there are certain kinds of breakers that will go off and then come back on their own They're usually used in lightning areas So but here is the crazy thing...I have a monitor Sorry just to interrupt but I'm a little confused so I can feel the air conditioner go off The fan slows down

30:51 I can see my laptop's not charging, but that external monitor stays on and then the airco comes back on again. So is that like a brownout something some kind of thing? Yeah i have no idea. I'm good it's happening though at least we're up and rolling Nancy Pelosi The debt ceiling increased hostage to their desires hopes and dreams And what does the other side want they'll be honest Not all of them They won cuts in social security, Medicare. They even had a proposal over in the house to end Medicare as we know it! Yeah isn't that what this is all about though? No you played- I got three clips I want to play then and the second one was a short Bernie Sanders clip Okay does it need setup? no same basic clip I'm sorry because of the air conditioner my hands are wet again ah I can't grab the clip Wet hands... yeah I got it

31:51 and included in that proposal because they want huge amounts of cuts six months from now no question, massive cuts to social security medicare medicaid Yep, that's what it's about. Yeah but here now I want you to play this clip which is Dreyer who's leading the Boehner side in the house and he's sick of listening to this crap and he challenges the Democrats with his clip challenge on the meaning of the Republican bill let's play this Sorry...I was trying to guess which one and okay here we go Gentleman from California

32:32 Madam Speaker, I'd like to yield to any of my colleagues on the other side of the aisle who will tell me where in the Boehner bill it says that we want a cut. Medicare, Social Security or any of the other items that they continue to attack. May- I'm happy to yield anyone who can point to me where in the Boehner bill it says that and I am happy to yield to anyone Obviously, I'm happy to yield to my friend. Yeah in the balanced budget amendment that you have and then the Ryan proposal you have all of it goes out to Medicare and Social Security but we're going to fight you on them Mr. Dreyer. Hey! The House will be in order. So the balance budget amendment and the Ryan bill has nothing to do with the Boehner bill? No

33:12 And so they have nothing. So this is bullcrap, but it's somewhat disingenuous... Both sides are being completely disingenuous because the way the Democrats interpret the Boehner bill is yeah no there's nothing about Social Security or Medicare but the only way you can get to their numbers is by cutting something like... But you don't have to cut that! You can cut out of the military budget too. It's just bullcrap This whole thing is bull crap from the get-go and everybody is going on and on I liked a couple...I got to see some people talk and in front of uh... the senate and house that i never have never seen to chat before net environment i have to say they're really like at a clip here that we may be for boards that we play it but i really like marco rubio i think i had the exact same clip is this where he quotes uh... yeah i don't know if i was again yes equals obama by dina and read their ended did you get the bit where uh... carry then interrupts him

CHAPTER 13 / 50 Discussion

Marco Rubio Quotes Obama and Biden on Debt Limits

Senator Marco Rubio reads past quotes from 2006 and 2007 by then-Senators Barack Obama, Joe Biden, and Harry Reid, all of whom previously opposed raising the debt limit. Rubio uses these quotes to counter current accusations of "Tea Party extremism," highlighting the perceived hypocrisy in the shifting political stances of Democratic leadership.

marco rubio· barack obama· joe biden· harry reid· debt limit· tea party

34:07 Right, Kerry interrupts him and Rubio does a pretty good job offending him off because the point's well taken but what Rubio should have said to Kerry here is what let me explain to people listening. They're bitching and moaning blaming everything on the Tea Party so Rubio reads some quotes from Obama from Biden in 2006 and Harry Reid which sounds just like these guys are bitching about today It was a good bit and it was a great day and then so kerry comes as well these votes didn't mean anything and what book rubio should have said at that point is in your cousin there were just showboating ruby this is all yours to just tell me that are you insinuating that they were just full of crap when i think he's got some evidence showboat is that what you're saying i think we do ideally yeah we need the word crap more on uh... on the house or buried carry with but he did need actually pussy dot about agra's doubt

34:59 And instead, let me tell you what we've seen over the last few days. First of all today and for much of this time I've heard all these attacks and name calling. If we had a billion dollars for every time that i hear the word Tea Party extremist We could solve this debt problem So all these names calling so I said well let me read some quotes about this debt limit And I found some pretty extremist quotes. Here's one, let me read you what it says The fact that we are here today to debate raising America's debt limit is a sign of leaderships failure America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership Americans deserve better I therefore intend to oppose the effort to increase America's debt limit A quote from a Tea Party extremist right? No This is a quote from March 16th 2006 From Senator Barack Obama of Illinois

35:46 I found another extremist quote. This one says, because this massive accumulation of debt was predicted because it was foreseeable Because it was unnecessary Because it was the result of willful and reckless disregard for the warnings that were given And for the fundamentals of economic management I am voting against a debt limit increase Well that must be from a Tea Party extremist member of the house right? No! This is March 16th 2006 From Senator Joe Biden Of Delaware And last but not least is a quote from September 27th of 2007. It says, I find it distasteful and disturbing to increase the debt limit yet again. Clearly we need to change course and this debt limit bill is just another reminder of that. And that is from the distinguished senator from Nevada, the majority leader.

36:33 You want to hear Kerry or can we skip it? It's pretty funny. Of course you can find him in the show notes at 326.nashownotes.com The whole thing is, it's a good show I have to say John if you and I were producing the show We would've tightened up a lot and would've had hotter chicks on the show Well I also would have sound effects between Yeah, exactly. It's like yeah, here we go it's back to the house floor everybody good morning Thank you darling The president came out with his His weekly address and here's a WTF moment for you. Oh, by the way before you go to that Can I do have a prediction? I want to bring out which is based on a clip get the book. I'm gonna but got the book out Here's the here's the prediction mm-hmm now of course this is contradicted already by Ron Paul But I still am going to make this prediction The prediction isn't it and it's kind of a twofold prediction

CHAPTER 14 / 50 Discussion

Prediction on the 14th Amendment and Executive Authority

A prediction is made that President Obama may invoke the 14th Amendment to unilaterally raise the debt ceiling, despite his public statements to the contrary. Senator Tom Harkin is heard encouraging the President to use this authority, citing historical precedents like the Louisiana Purchase. The discussion explores the ongoing trend of Congress ceding power to the Executive Branch.

14th amendment· barack obama· tom harkin· debt ceiling· executive power· constitution

37:36 The first prediction is that Obama is going to pull the 14th Amendment card. You really think after he said explicitly he wouldn't do that? Well, here's the reason it's because I have the Harkin speech and this only I only clipped the beginning of it but Harkin went on and on demanding almost that the president do this and then he excited a bunch of examples in the past, the presidents going against what you know questionable constitutional moves. And so I think they're either gonna push to President to do this and i think it would be...I think the Republicans should make him do because I think it'd even better theater if he does it or they're going to be or is game of brinksmanship where look if you don't do this and take credit for something or other the president is gonna do this

38:22 But Harkin basically tells him to do it. He's a senator, essentially telling the president to steal more of the Senate's authority which I think is kind of weird but that i've noticed over time that Congress has been giving the President and Executive Branch more and more power. The Warpup thing is perfect example they don't have... Why haven't they impeached him for that? Do we want to play Harkin? Yeah play Harkin so that's the lead into the prediction. It does not belong to columnists. Rather, it belongs to the American people and you Mr President You Mr President have been entrusted by the American people in a very clear election To as it says right here in the Constitution faithfully execute the office of the president of the United States And at best of your ability preserve protect and defend the constitution Why didn't he say both of you Mr Presidents? So Mr President

39:26 Mr. President, the 14th amendment makes clear that full faith and credit of the United States cannot be destroyed The only case on point ever decided by the Supreme Court said that Congress cannot alter or destroy those obligations Cannot! So if the congress through inaction Through an action OR action tries to destroy or alter those obligations I believe it is incumbent upon the chief executive To exercise his authority To exercise his authority

40:02 to make sure that the full faith and credit of the United States is not jeopardized. It's not jeopardized. President should use his authority to do so, and I will give you three examples where there is no precedence, where there's no clear authority in the Constitution but where the president exercised that kind of authority Thomas Jefferson purchasing Louisiana Purchase He wrote letters and I have them here, and i'm going to ask that they be sent. Yeah you can kill it now So hold on a second We researched the 14th amendment And yes in what is it section 2b? I think there is something about um... You have to pay our debts

40:45 Yeah, but there is but there has to be complete transparency about those debts and we went through this There's a whole bunch of stuff that no one would ever want to show because then the Pentagon would actually have to have their books in order That would be something. There's a lot yeah exactly it was a lot of legalese behind this so your prediction He's gonna pull the 14th amendment you really believe that Yeah, if they don't resolve this by the 10th of August. I'm absolutely sure you know think so no I don't think so he's He said he's so anti-constitutional He doesn't want to do anything that steers away from the Constitution and has specifically said he wouldn't do that But he's confused in general man listen to this about tax what is tax John please explain to me? What is a tax?

CHAPTER 15 / 50 Discussion

President Obama's Weekly Address and Interest Rate "Taxes"

In his weekly address, President Obama warns that a lowered credit rating would act as a "tax increase" on citizens through higher interest rates on mortgages and car loans. This framing is criticized as a linguistic manipulation of the definition of a tax. The "triple A political system" comment from the administration is also noted.

barack obama· weekly address· interest rates· credit rating· taxes· jay carney

41:30 The taxes where the government takes your money for some purpose or other. Oh no, no not according to the president in his weekly address Very little time We need to reach a compromise by Tuesday so that our country will have the ability to pay its bills on time Bills like social security checks veterans benefits and contracts we've signed with thousands of American businesses If we don't for the first time ever we could lose our country's triple A credit rating Not because we didn't have the capacity to pay our bills, we do. But because we didn't have a triple A political system to match it. Make no mistake for those who reflexively oppose tax increases on anybody... ...a lower credit rating could be a tax increase on everybody! We'd all pay higher interest rates on mortgages and car loans and credit cards So that's not a tax? That's not okay! Nah this guy

42:28 So we don't have a triple A political system, thanks. Yeah that's a good one. Did they pay somebody a bonus for that one? Yeah the Carney, Spokeshole Carney but then if we don't pass it you'll get attacks in the form of higher interest rates It's not really a tax I mean yeah were paying more but its not Really a tax. Yes, I may go into Las Vegas and then betting on black he comes up redded and I lose the money That's not it. That's a tax you just got taxed son Anyway while we're on predictions The distinguished gentleman from Ohio my friend Dennis Kucinich. Oh, I do like this guy

CHAPTER 16 / 50 Discussion

Dennis Kucinich Criticizes Standard & Poor's Rating Agency

Representative Dennis Kucinich argues that credit rating agencies like Standard & Poor's should face civil fraud charges for their role in the 2008 financial crisis. He suggests that the threat to downgrade U.S. debt is a retaliatory move against the Dodd-Frank Act. Moody's also indicates that current congressional debt plans may not be sufficient to maintain a AAA rating.

dennis kucinich· standard & poor's· moody's· credit rating· dodd-frank· interest rates

43:08 even though uh... people from ohio tell me is a total douche and wants to run everyone's life there yeah he did they claim isn't that the special basically a fascist nazi yeah so okay i don't know but he helps me in my argument about the ratings agencies here we go this congress struggles uh... to come up with uh... this deal over government debt we all know that uh... all we had to do is raise the debt ceiling And that the chaos the country is being thrown into is not necessary. Simple, raise the debt ceiling, protect the credit of the US and then debate how to cut our debt afterwards We're trapped in a debate where there's another game going on over our heads and that game involves rating services In particular standards and poors Rating agencies helped put the U.S economy into dumper in 2008

43:59 Dodd-Frank was the first effort to hold rating agencies accountable, when in fact they should have been subject to civil fraud charges as well as revocation of their license at the SEC. Just a few months after Dodd-Frank passed, Standard & Poor's strikes back with the threat to downgrade US debt. A downgrade which would cost US taxpayers billions of dollars an year in extra interest payments The U.S is sovereign, Standard and Poor's is not When we work to raise the debt ceiling We should also raise questions about Standard and Poor's Maybe it's time to downgrade Standard and Poor's to junk status Junk status. I love him! Yeah, Moody's did come out and they said here is the quote... The limited magnitude of both debt plans put forward by congressional leaders would not put the nation's AAA credit rating back on solid footing." I'm telling you downgrade coming and it makes so much sense because this is what the bankers want. Here they've downgraded Cypress after they blew it up

CHAPTER 17 / 50 Discussion

Financial Regulatory Complexity and Dodd-Frank Page Counts

The complexity of modern financial regulation is highlighted by comparing the page counts of major acts: Glass-Steagall (34 pages), Sarbanes-Oxley (66 pages), and Dodd-Frank (over 2,000 pages). The discussion posits that this extreme complexity serves the interests of the international banking cartel and hinders economic activity like IPOs.

dodd-frank· glass-steagall· sarbanes-oxley· financial regulation· banking cartel

44:58 you know he's but if you made a little point to that just james of coincide with something that i read that before it sent me today which i never thought about it and and cusine as makes his point in pickup on a day wouldn't have picked up by where he says we've got food no we didn't have this threat about the above but the downgrade until dodd frank dot put in play seems of piss somebody off in the nine-way now there is a there's a chart that i guess earlier research came out with on page count of legislation and you have to remember nobody ever want to go back the glass steagle because it was so effective in the north were pretty much what it was a little yellow who are great

45:38 The page count on the financial regulatory, under a chart called Financial Regulatory Complexity. The page count of the Glass-Steagall Act was 34 pages. The page count of the horrible Sarbanes Oxley which is pretty much largely responsible for lack of IPOs and activity in the tech sector 66 pages. The page count of Dodd Frank 2000 I think? eight forty nine the good so it's ten times more complex in sarbanes-oxley and glass steagall combined basically and each

46:17 I can see, you know...I don't know what's in there but maybe it is one of those things because i know you love plowing into these things. Yeah! I'll bet ya its like that cap and trade act that just a buncha weird crap in there that is hopeless So then in a way you kind of agree with my argument that there is a war going on that Moody's and Standard & Poor are saying hey You guys shape up or we're gonna screw with you And you said they wouldn't do that because they dont want two to their head you know i'm not a day at work still stick with my theory that they don't they're not going to do but they can keep threatening it and then which is just pretty close to being bad in why would i would be international banking cartel downgrade and screw every single country but the u s i mean if there's we run the cartel give me a break now they were on us now rerun them will say are you willing to put a dinner on this

Obama's Speech to NCLR and "Yes You Can" Dictatorship Chant

During a speech to the National Council of La Raza (NCLR), President Obama mentions that some people want him to bypass Congress to change laws on his own. The crowd responds with chants of "Yes you can," which is interpreted as a disturbing endorsement of executive overreach or dictatorial behavior regarding immigration policy.

47:15 as the bed about this before you and take the bets on that day in a bad now anyway uh... the uh... there's slaves of the country and in this case of the latino community uh... they're lapping it all up to president spoke in front of the uh... with the l a r c i think it is that my eyes are community not quite sure l a r c look at our policy a little bit also courses a as a unbelievable means the race which is like what yeah i a now but listen to the crowd love was in the ground as as obama says paying laboratory animal research center that's them those guys and screw those guys are also people want me to bypass congress and change the laws on my own believe me listen and fascist mexicans way it gets better and and and believe me right now dealing with congress

Yes they're chanting yes you can when he says I some people would like me to just change the laws myself Yes, you can yes you can this that's death.

49:22 uh... the summer is very well this show i think our last show must have been terrible or something and nobody gave us a much credit well it was terrible and part of that is because of the connection people realize just want to say uh... hike by commend you my friend cuz you're really on the short stinky end of the stick on these deals cuz u here only half for the conversation uh... it's all broken up your getting no you hearing the clips poorly you've got a huge delay uh... it's very difficult and you know just imagine having a conversation with someone which is what we do we don't talk to any other type of debt that they have not been updated yet there that look at the end of the day so the fact that word

50:07 Producing anything at all is quite amazing, but and also the fact that I can't watch C-Span. I'm struggling you know the day before the show I'm racing around trying to get stuff It's almost impossible To do any deep research because I have to be in a stationary spot You know Wi-Fi is tough on the road you can't do anything.

I hope this enough to fill up the Hot Pocket 2008 mobile at least once to hold distraction with balancing of the U.S government budget even though we all know that come money the Senate and Congress just kick the can down the road, which may or may not be what they do has done wonders for the Swiss Franc I personally can think that the only unemployment rate these career politicians are worried about is their own. No Agenda is by far my favorite podcast, you guys rock! I don't watch TV anymore to get the news why should I when both of you are doing it for me?

Similarly, George Clooney's upcoming film "The Ides of March" is linked to his presidential-style public image. The segment concludes with the "Distraction of the Week" jingle performed by children.

cowboys and aliens· george clooney· ides of march· pr companies· distraction of the week

1:00:05 consistent and I think users, I think a lot of commuters love the show for that reason. So I'm listening to the show right off the bat you said why is The New York Times plugging aliens? And i couldn't come up with the answer because I've been unplugged from reality by the way... The world is pretty nice when you don't have a lot of television to watch it's pretty cool It's better read yeah as cowboys and aliens dot yes i mean send me a note job no doubt and did just so people know this is what we observe continuously is that mainstream media will start putting in all kinds of weird little stories that are of course has slipped in by p r companies big ones like hillenolten and they do that to uh... to help promote the psyche movies of movies

1:00:53 That's exactly what it is. Oh, I mean this whole debt crisis is certainly going to help George Clooney He has got Ides of March coming out Have you seen his posters looking all presidential and crap? Yeah, I've heard of them but haven't seen the poster yet Probably they're all over LA Yeah, oh! Luckily we are not there right now And, uh... By request John you wanted to hear a 10 year old and 12 year old singing Distraction of the Week together? Yeah. Your wish is my command my friend. Distraction of the week on no agenda look over there Oh god! Could they sound more bored?! Good job kids don't listen that cranky man

Australian Carbon Tax and "Carbon Cops" Legislation

The Australian government under Prime Minister Julia Gillard is implementing a carbon tax despite previous promises not to do so. The legislation reportedly includes the creation of "carbon cops" with the power to enter premises and compel evidence, with penalties for non-compliance reaching up to 10 years in prison and million-dollar fines for corporations.

australia· julia gillard· carbon tax· carbon cops· legislation· environment

1:01:40 I like what you did. I like what you did for real This leads me right into a story about our friends down under in the land of Oz where, of course douchebag get Gilead who promised no carbon tax and is now And not just said we're gonna have a carbon tax She's implementing it and I have a jingle for that Get Monation down under. Things are getting rough, get Monation down under. Crikey! I think we're stuffed. Yeah they're gonna have something called the Carbon Cops. Oh yeah the carbon cops you better be paying your carbon tax slave or you better be turning off the lights over there where the carbon cops are gonna come and get ya

1:02:35 Yes, 14 pieces of legislation in all that have been released now by the government to be looked at by exposed industry and the like. The carbon cop as it's been described in the Australian newspaper this morning with sweeping powers to enter premises, to compel individuals to give evidence and if that evidence shows that they have breached the carbon tax laws, then they could face up to 10 years in jail. 1.1 million dollar fines for corporations as well All of this legislation has been released by the government now and they hope to get it through Parliament by November They can enter buildings! We better get down there in a hurry I think its going to be too late

1:03:23 I feel bad. I'm surprised you're not just totally depressed Well there's a big demonstration today, I think in Sydney They're doing... You gotta be careful man! You gotta be careful of the Aussies Cause you can only push them so far and maybe this whole point of Gileard is that she's the trial balloon to see if they'll chop her head off and then they'll bring someone else in cause she's definitely cruising for it. I can't believe how far this has gone at this point Yeah, she's definitely asking for trouble. As my mom would say cruisingforabruising.com A couple of aviation stories that get me irked you know how I love it when the mainstream media tries to report on aviation So the first one is now there is a new report

CHAPTER 25 / 50 Discussion

Polish Air Force Tu-154 Crash Report Analysis

A new report on the 2010 Polish Air Force Tu-154 crash in Smolensk, Russia, is analyzed. The discussion focuses on technical anomalies, such as the pilot allegedly setting the altimeter to standard pressure at a dangerously low altitude of 300 feet. The hosts express skepticism toward the official findings that blame air traffic controllers and pilots while ignoring potential foul play.

poland· russia· tupolev· air crash· altimeter· air traffic control

1:04:16 From Polish officials, of course. You will recall that half of the Polish government and elites were wiped out in one go in this Tupolev crash in Russia? You know what we never talked about is the fact that the Russians did this to the Polish government once before back during a world war two or just before world war two and blamed it on the nazis what was uh... uh... what was the occurrence it wasn't but apparently they did take off the whole town of i guess some of them some of that top leaders in of the country and butchered him in the woods and buried him in an unmarked grave how is this uncovered just a few years ago as always it's on the history channel quite a bit how unhospitable of them

1:05:02 so uh... so this plane crashed and that is a new report and i wrote of course i read through the it's an aviation report they're saying at the blame is can be placed firmly on me air traffic controllers on the ground to visit this one thing in there that really doesn't make sense and i and i and i i'd i've read through the port twice and i guess is translate i don't know if his translated from polish but its not easy to read but at a certain point The pilot, according to the black box data and we don't know if any of this is true and it's highly unlikely that it is. The pilot changes his altimeter to standard pressure setting 1013 hectopascal Now let me just explain how this works when you are above a certain altitude

1:05:55 And it's usually, I think it's flight level five zeroes. It's a five so like 5,000 feet everyone basically flies on the standard pressure setting this is important because that shows your reading as to what altitude you're flying at Okay, so once you're above a certain altitude. I think it might vary per country and per region 1 0 1 3 is the standard pressure setting the lower? You get you're gonna have to change that and if you don't change it well then you may find yourself Flying into the ground because your altimeter say says you still got two or three hundred feet to go But you're actually hitting the ground So why?

1:06:33 the uh... the pilot in charge said his altimeter to standard pressure setting at three hundred feet is beyond me but this is not what's being pulled out of the report by the media ever just saying all you know these the guys that their traffic controllers made a mistake but i can't read in the report the air traffic controller saying as set up the standard pressure setting so it's isn't there's no conclusive evidence basically and uh... We still don't know exactly what happened other than the result of it and of course we remember that video where you see what looks like people going around shooting survivors in the head, in the woods. Right? Yeah! Now this one really got me irked This is a report from Air France flight which left from Brazil and crashed into the ocean. They're saying complete pilot error What?! Complete pilot error

CHAPTER 26 / 50 Discussion

Air France Flight 447 and Airbus Fly-By-Wire Criticism

The final report on the crash of Air France Flight 447 is criticized for blaming "pilot error" rather than technical failures in the Airbus fly-by-wire system. The discussion highlights the failure of pitot tubes and the confusing nature of computer-controlled flight systems. Concerns are also raised about the quality of Chinese-manufactured aircraft and industrial parts.

air france 447· airbus· fly-by-wire· pilot error· pitot tubes· aviation safety

1:07:31 All pilot error. The pitot tubes... What, he pushed the stick down and just drove the plane into the ocean? Stalled the airplane. Bullcrap! And if you read through the report, the plane is not responding. Yeah it's an Airbus instead of someone just saying you know airbuses I'm sorry i don't like this fly-by-wire I really don't like the idea..I like sheet metal rivets in cables this computer stuff and you know, so the guys have joysticks and one was pushing down one was pushing up. And essentially they were so stupid apparently these professional pilots of course there's always a rookie that's in the cockpit right? Believe me this guy is trained he's not a total dork They went down from 47 thousand feet without figuring out that their indicators were incorrect I'm just no buying it! I am buying the fact that this Airbus is faulty

1:08:26 But they can't say that, particularly around air show time where people are putting in orders for Airbuses. And the Chinese are out there selling their own Boeing rip-off Yeah the Chinese are sneaking into this it's pretty funny to watch and you know their stuff is going to be kind of junky If it works anything like my iPad I'd be worried Is your iPad flaking out? It always flakes out All this stuff all this Apple stuff It's good for a while and then... The problem with the Chinese products, and I think this is gonna you know even if they make everything. So you have really nice Nikon camera made in China And it's great! Well done But the problem when it comes to heavy industry Is that yeah they could be You may have a company that can build some vehicle or say an airplane perfectly but they source within their own country

1:09:23 So they order bolts from some scammer for all day. I mean at some point, you know the sources for all the little idiosyncratic parts that go into anything that they build many of these are like counterfeits or they're off spec Or it's like the bridge that they were building over here in San Francisco Yeah! That was a great bridge Off spec The pieces didn't fit together right? No their welds were no good So you know the bridge would probably have collapsed in an earthquake Well, it can still happen. You know, a bolt has to... if you buy a bolt it has to have a specification. As one does John. Tell me about the last time you bought some bolts? I bought some bolts recently but anyway if you start to tighten them into like a block of an engine for example they're supposed be able take so much torque and they're supposed to hold together not just snap off. So what did you buy bolts for? Oh, I was bolting something on the ceiling

Foxconn Automation and the Rise of Manufacturing Robots

Foxconn announces plans to replace one million workers with robots to improve reliability and reduce labor-related issues. An anecdote from an Acer plant in China suggests that manufacturers have long planned to transition to 100% automation. The shift is framed as a way to avoid the "unreliability" and social complications of human workers.

foxconn· robots· automation· china· manufacturing· labor

1:10:34 A sex swing? I wish. And now the news that Foxconn is going to replace workers with a million robots, that'll be great! Well you know the funny thing... this is side story when I was first time I went to an acer plant in Suzhou which is one of these areas on China that have all these factories And, uh... it's a beautiful place. They make keyboards there. Keyboards like musical keyboards? No you know keyboard that you type on and so I'm talking to the plant manager and he said well you know they told me they get paid like 25 bucks a week and that's big deal because on top of whatever else they get

1:11:23 And I said, well...I guess the reason everything's gonna be so successful is that because you have this cheap labor. He says now we're going with robots as soon as we can Yeah! Because I said what? You're going with robots?! He says yeah people are unreliable they make mistakes Robots don't make mistakes We're gonna move 100% robots Wait wait wait! Can't we put robots in our country? Well the president has been talking about it but those pesky robots It's like those workers that keep jumping off the building. That's a pain in the ass, it's a mess We have to actually give them $25 You gotta give them $25 a year and then they wind up in a mess on the street we gotta clean it up They'll have street sweeping cleanup robots Yeah robots are less hassle Yeah yeah don't bitch alot By the way people are surmising what you needed the bolts for on the ceiling They figured if you were building a swing to lower yourself into the bathtub

1:12:22 It's actually a 100 inch video screen. Oh, really? You go girl! A hundred-inch video screen and you can tell the guys in the chat room that they're a bunch of douchebags I love them So while this big show was going on there was something that I picked up on C-SPAN And here's how I did this This is eight hour testimony. I only got through three Because you know when you're watching c-span.com which has the worst video encoding ever I'm sure the whole website cost 18 million dollars at least it's not a C-Span? C-Span yeah

CHAPTER 28 / 50 Discussion

Confirmation Hearing of Counter-Terrorism Intelligence Director

During a confirmation hearing, Senator Ron Wyden questions a nominee for a counter-terrorism intelligence position regarding the government's authority to track Americans using cell site data. The nominee, a former NSA lawyer, provides evasive answers, stating the issue is "complicated" and has not been fully settled by the executive branch, raising concerns about domestic surveillance.

ron wyden· cell site data· surveillance· nsa· intelligence· privacy

1:13:05 C-SPAN. The c-span website. Yeah, what about it? Their video encoding blows! I've never noticed that problem Well if you're on... well please try it on 3G and some other spotty connection It's really horrible. It stops and buffers and repeats Instead of like buffering it'll go back 30 seconds Oh I hate that So we've got our new director of counter-terrorism intelligence. Remember I read you the whole document, or not all of it but a lot of the document about belligerence and how were all basically lone wolf terrorists? So this guy is a lawyer he was a lawyer for the NSA This is the guy who's now in charge... And if you look at him I'm sorry nothing against lawyers But its like a lawyer! Its not that kind of guy out fighting terrorists

1:14:02 And uh... Lawyer. Anti-terrorist lawyer! Stop that on NBC! It's a new series from NBC, Anti-Terrorist Lawyer He passed the bar now he is pushing it up their butt or something like that So he's being grilled by Senator Wyden and Wyden does something very cool, which I appreciated. He... you know how of course this all these... so the guy is being what is it certified? What do we call it? Confirmed! Yeah. He was going through his confirmation process and of course a lot of us are like well we'll talk about this in secret private session because that's all incredibly... you know as security we got to be careful with terrorists watching C-SPAN. Be very careful

1:14:52 But I appreciated why you came out with this question and of course the lawyer answers it just like an anti-terrorist lawyer would. Hello lawyer. No, we have a difference of opinion here it's my view that we have to keep operations and methods secret but we've got also have public awareness on the laws on the books So this is Wyden so he's good right? He's saying you know what we gotta have secret stuff but people do have to know what's going on We're gonna continue this discussion I'm sure i need ask one other question and that is on different legal topic Do government agencies have the authority

1:15:31 to use cell site data to track the location of Americans inside the United States for intelligence purposes. Oh, that's a nice question what do you think the answer would be John? Well it should be no! Senator I know that that is a question that you've posed to the Director of National Intelligence, Director Clapper It is a question... Sounds like hey this guy sounds like Timmy Geithner another leave-it-be character he actually did it but I do a different every day he's actually cuter than Timmy nice name again Olsen also yes one of the Olson twins Olsen and with an e or no oh well s o n all song Oh s o n Wow yeah all sorry what's his first name Pete

1:16:25 Pete. I don't remember his first name! It's not Pete, it's Bart There is a Congressman Pete Olsen in Texas though isn't that funny? Let's listen to the rest of the testimony. I just want to see a picture of the guy. ...and difficult question, uh...to answer in particularly in this setting. I will say that... Wait a minute let me just roll that back It's a particularly difficult question to answer No it's not! John you just answered the question The answer is NO you can't use cell phone data to track Americans To use cell site data to track the location of Americans inside the United States for intelligence purposes

1:17:05 Senator, I know that's a question you've posed to the Director of National Intelligence, Director Clapper. It is a question that is complicated and difficult question to answer particularly in this setting. the intelligence community is working as we speak. I know we've talked to your staff in developing a comprehensive answer to that question, which will be provided to you in writing. Madam President, I know my time has expired but just a quick follow-up on that. You seem to be suggesting then Mr. Olson that the executive branch has not yet settled that question? Is that accurate?

1:17:47 I think it's very important to be precise about exactly what... I love it when lawyers do that, how they answer those questions. Now I think it is very important to distract you from answering the question directly. But the question is and and I... The ques-the question is does the government have the authority to use cell site data to track the locations of Americans inside the country? I think you answered initially that it had not yet been settled by the executive branch with respect to to whether or not there is that authority. I think this is an extremely important point and I just want to make that clear, that I believe you're saying it has not yet been settled by the executive branch that it has that authority? I think there are certain circumstances where that authority may exist. I do think its a very complicated and difficult question um...and I would ask... It's not like complicated and difficult question. ...question to be prepared in unclassified setting uh...in writing to you senator thank you madam chair

1:18:48 All right, by the way. The senator sounded like he had his Invisalign still in needs to remove those before questioning So there's more gold in this so I'm not even halfway through it yet But it just shows the hubris of our government to have a lawyer Running the intelligence because it's not about are we gonna you know is there someone bad who's trying to do something doing a you know? Go out there guns blazing kick someone's ass no It's about do we have the legal authority To talk about maybe doing this and have the executive branch approve it So we can go on listen to people cell phone conversations And yeah, it's pretty funny like the accountant that wants to be the lion tamer

CHAPTER 29 / 50 Discussion

General David Petraeus on Afghanistan Strategy

General David Petraeus, the incoming CIA Director, is heard in a BBC Newsnight interview discussing the "progress" and "important objectives" in the Afghanistan war. The hosts interpret his vague language as a signal for increased drone strikes and a continuation of the conflict without a clearly defined goal.

david petraeus· afghanistan· cia· drones· war strategy· newsnight

1:19:35 So talking about intelligence, I caught Petraeus on some show. I think it was BBC Nightline or whatever the thing is. BBC Nightline. It's not nightline, it's whatever its called. Newsnight! Newsweek. BBC Newsweek. Anyway whatever its called. Whatever it is just play Petraeus who seems to me Like, uh... They brought him in to run the CIA and he just seems like a phony to me. I mean it's just like- And then he does- He's great at gobbledygook answers where he goes on and on and they really never says anything. I want Deacon to play this and tell them what you think he said but- Telling me here? What is he actually saying is your question? Yes. Can be depended upon or do you see exhaustion setting in This has been a long war no question about it

1:20:30 and our countries have shown enormous determination and persistence. My sense is that if that progress continues, if the people recognize that this does enable us to achieve our important objective over time, they will continue to provide requisite support But it's incumbent on us, it's incumbent on our Afghan partners indeed to continue to build on that progress so that it can be very clearly seen by all those back home who have sacrificed so much for this effort. Oh I know exactly what he is saying! Yeah It's incumbent is one thing

1:21:12 More drones. That's what he is saying. He isn't able to achieve our important goals, what is our goal? What's the important goal? Come on! What is it? Oh um... To steal money from poor African nations to take oil No I mean an important goal in Afghanistan, he has got be more specific not just a general important goal Well to kill brown people So here's something I just, here's something that i've been uncovering a lot and the more I've been on the road uh... people are handing me thumb drives with stuff. And this is pretty outrageous. What? Really? Yeah! What do you mean they're just handing it to you? It's like you don't know me. But yeah, but when they do during handshake its kind of in the palm of their hand. Swear to God swear to god Thumb drives, thumb drives. So the two companies

CHAPTER 30 / 50 Discussion

Drone Contractors and Oil Industry Connections

Information is presented regarding government contractors ASRC (Arctic Slope Regional Corporation) and NJVC, which reportedly hold contracts for operating Reaper drones. These companies are linked to the oil industry, suggesting a connection between military drone operations and the securing of energy resources in regions like Iraq and Libya.

asrc· njvc· predator drones· reaper drones· oil companies· government contracts

1:22:10 that have actually we're wrong the predator drones are not the ones that shoot the hellfires it's the reapers that shoot the hellfires this is already was news to me I thought the drone the predator drones were the ones that shoot the missiles they're just doing a look in the reapers are the ones that are doing all of the all of the shooting there are two companies to government contractors Both I might add owned by American natives as in Native Americans that have these contracts One is the ASRC which is the I think the Alaskan slope something It's what does a look this up on the book? Could you do me a favor and just? As RC

1:23:02 which i believe is alaskan slope resource company or something and the other one is the njvc arctic slope marginal corporation yes so you won't find it on their website what's the other one uh... in jay v c november juliet victor charlie so as the last canadian american oil pipeline company i don't know they're abbreviation and these by the way that a s r c george bush has buddies and ted stevens actually So this is why Ted Stevens got popped, because I think he was like... He went way over the line somewhere. But how it works is these are oil company contractors and they get money from the oil companies and then the government turns around and contracts these guys to go in fly the Reapers and kill brown people in sand which then of course immediately the oil companies move in and we just saw this uh what is it now?

1:24:04 As a BP, no. I think as BP has the big contracts in Iraq and now everyone's doing business with the rebels in Libya So we've got to figure out more so producers listening to the NOA agenda show ASRC NJVC these are the companies that hold the contracts for The Reapers and they are oil company contractors We've been put way off base on all of this stuff. We have no idea how it works And it does seem From the documents I've received and of course, I can't publish these documents because that is a sure way to have the show be taken off the air forcibly. Well give us... what kind of information do you have? How about the contracts? Oh yeah that would do it! Yeah like hey let me upload this! Not so good

1:25:01 I don't know anything about it. If anyone's got a complaint, go find Adam he has the documents. I'm just bolting my swing to the ceiling! If i were you, I would burn those things immediately. Oh no no no...I'd eat them. And also got all of the latest TSA documents. That would be worth having. Yeah..No its not. Its not worth having. Why dont' send them to your home? What juicy tidbits in there? Well, something that is in the news right now which is about their new Israeli tactics. Here's a news clip this was why it was handed to me I have all the procedures every single procedure every pat down if you show up in a wheelchair or if you look 12 or under Every single procedure and know exactly what they're supposed to do And we now have the BDO

CHAPTER 31 / 50 Discussion

TSA Behavioral Detection Officers and Israeli Profiling Tactics

The TSA is expanding its Behavioral Detection Officer (BDO) program, adopting profiling techniques similar to those used in Israel. Critics point out that these officers receive only four to five hours of training. The program is described as a "layered approach" to security that involves engaging passengers in conversation to identify suspicious traits, though skeptics view it as ineffective and intrusive.

tsa· behavioral detection· profiling· israel· airport security· training

1:25:57 The uh... Hello? Hello?! Hello is- Before it's a crime, It's precrime! That's right. We have the behavioral detection officers. Alright, let's switch gears now and talk about airport security because it is about to undergo another change. The TSA is about to borrow a page from Israel's airport security by profiling passengers with behavior detection techniques but can this method actually be effective here in the United States? This is great by the way this thing-this is one of these ex DHS guys who of course works for uh you know for a company that selling stuff

1:26:40 Before this I have to tell you someone else at the meetup is an architect and she Is working on re-architecting several large airports, I won't tell you which ones. But do you know that they have to reinforce the floors where these body scanners stand on because they're so heavy? Yeah! And like really?! These things are so heavy they have to change the actual infrastructure of every airport otherwise it'll crash them through the floor and what's in them she said cancer Nice. Alright, so more behavioral detection stuff. Joining me now from DC is Robert Liskowski a former assistant secretary at the Homeland Department of Homeland Security that is he has also consulted Oh really? No kidding! Consulted what do you mean? On airline security. She's happy. Yes, yes. Good morning to you Mr. And by the way she's getting less hot they gotta change her look Who is it? What's-her name uh Greta no Gretchen Gretchen from Fox

1:27:43 Oh, Gretchen? Yeah she's not... Nah her hair is like She got a helmet on now. If you and I were in there consulting we'd chan- Would she be out?! Gretchen! I'm sorry You've passed MILF stage you're out Need some hot young blood here They got some in Austin. Good morning Gretchen, how are you? I'm doing just fine so the idea that they're gonna start looking at behavioral techniques or attitudes of people or what exactly do think they're going to be looking at a potential passenger How is that read huh? What exactly do you think they're going to... She botched that completely Horrible read

1:28:23 Well, this is a good tool. It's a good tool! This is a tool? It was a technique. Do they know the difference between a technique and a tool? Well when it's a guy, its'a tool. When it's a girl, it's a technique. He's a tool. Right. It will allow TSA and other law enforcement agencies to be able identify or potentially detect those people whether they're criminals or terrorists that are going to try and exploit our vulnerabilities in our systems. But how will that happen? I mean the TSA officers are gonna be called behavior detection officers... This is what i have, the documents on the BDOs At 161 airports so are we to assume these are the people who are checking our IDs and then they might just get into a little bit more conversation with us before we go through security?

1:29:05 This gets so good. So, this is... it's not going to be obvious at all that you're being profiled watch. It works! Yeah that's right its a layered approach they are looking for all sorts of behaviors they are going to identifying people in line or in the airports that are looking..that are acting suspiciously and maybe uncomfortable and they'll spot them look at them What if I have to poop when I'm standing in line? I'll be pulled out and profiled. Yeah, and you'll be pooping in your pants because it takes forever You look pretty uncomfortable son. And i got a poop officer In line They'll talk to them engage them in conversation Look for certain traits or characteristics that might indicate they should be selected How about my Tourette's? That's going to be a dead giveaway

1:29:44 Hey, this guy's jerking his head all over the place. You gotta pull him... You're doomed! I have to poop and i'm jerking my head? I am doomed for further screening. Alright so let me ask you this will they just take an already employed TSA person who up until this point their job has been you know to look at that screen and to look at IDs and suddenly they're going to be a behavioral expert Well, I have the training manuals as well. You know how much training the behavioral detection officer will go through? Probably not as much as we'd hoped. Four and a half hours That's it. Four and a half hours, of which 30 minutes is like... you know like... Hi my name is Gary. Hi! My name is Gary can I talk to you for a minute? You look rather uncomfortable why don't you step out of the line sir we just want have a little chat

1:30:38 Well, I think this is like... Four hours of training and that's gonna make you an expert? Oh yeah. This is a disaster waiting to happen That's why they gave me the docs The process isn't well publicized but clearly there are some things that need to be done No! By the way these docs actually say top secret not to be shared with anybody I'm going to bury it in that ridge I made on the road and cover it up Get rid of it.

1:31:16 This requires a significant amount of training. It requires people who are capable of using principles but not jumping to conclusions that are going to be, you know, using reasonable approaches to identify potential terrorists. Right so the TSA chief John Pistol said this I'm very much interested in expanding the behavior detection program in a way that allows us to have more interaction with the passenger just from a discussion which may be able to expedite the physical screening aspects Hey would like a cup of coffee? Hey come over sit down So I'm gonna have a little chat with you. Who won the 1927 World Series? Uh, the Yankees! Good one! Yeah... Well that was the question they used in World War II so that's how i know the answer. That's what I'm thinking this sounds more like something they'd do at prison camp. You know try to catch the Jew. It's messed up Anyway, so I am going to commit these documents to memory before I eat them. They were so cool though. I love when people say, you didn't meet me, you don't know me

Domestic Drone Use and New York Air National Guard

The New York Air National Guard announces plans to fly drones over the Adirondack Park for training purposes. While officials state the drones are not expected to carry weapons, the rollout is seen as the beginning of widespread domestic drone surveillance. The operations will be managed from Fort Drum and Hancock Field in Syracuse.

1:32:17 Oh man. You're crazy I may be crazy but i really don't care it's better to be crazy because then you know the guy he calls himself the crackpot who cares no one cares about him yeah this is what your going to meet, im telling ya Hello! You better start driving they are gonna do the cell phone triangulation on you gotta keep those phones off not just that all they have to do is follow the trail I'm dragging them with my tail hook here ripping open this roads all across Austin so New York National Air Guard has announced it will be using drones over the six million acre park in the Adirondacks

Tour Schedule and Craigslist Job Search Tool

The hosts provide an update on their travel schedule, including an upcoming meetup in Nashville. They also mention a new tool developed by a community member that allows users to search all Craigslist sites simultaneously for job opportunities, providing automated email alerts when matches are found. This is intended to help the many unemployed listeners in the "No Agenda Nation."

1:45:24 can hit every craigslist posting and then if something comes up that kind of matches your criteria you get an email. So how does this work? It's like a automatic search that is searching in the background, then when it pops what you're looking for is available it sends you an email? Is that how it works? Something like that. That sounds good! Yeah for people looking for workers because he noticed as you mentioned at the last show lot of people don't have jobs yeah 25% percent probably everybody we know doesn't have a job uh... that would be the number yeah it's pretty bad so i will let you know if you're not going to realize what's there was the domain is unknown part of no generation dot com on a big budget craigs finder thing i had heard maybe maybe i don't know he we'll have an offer able figure double put on the show whenever you get over saturday friday thursday whenever you do that she'll put in the in the show notes ideal one quick birthday today

Egypt Protests and Islamist Influence in Tahrir Square

Reports from the Saturday edition of The New York Times highlight massive protests in Cairo's Tahrir Square led by Salafis and the Muslim Brotherhood. These groups are demanding a transition to a Sharia state and the removal of military generals. The hosts argue that this significant development is being downplayed or suppressed by mainstream Sunday news outlets.

egypt· tahrir square· cairo· muslim brotherhood· salafis· sharia state

1:47:12 it unbelievable nothing but there's one kind of a one little propagandistic story at the bottom i should mention because we're just betray us is going on about afghanistan and i think some of the uh... elites are turning against the afghanistan episode energies region the uh... they had language i think says that all afghans rage yet young lovers a father says kill them both that's what i said to my daughter Don't mess around with that boy. So apparently this little group or this couple it kept meeting surreptitiously and I guess somebody discovered them in a parking lot or something an angry crowd of 300 surged around them calling them adulterers And demanding that they be stoned to death or hanged

1:48:00 and so that's what we're fighting for ladies and gentlemen. That's right. Because that's propagandistic just for that purpose So, I had to back off to go the Saturday Times And The Saturday Times is loaded with material A couple of interesting things...I think one of the most interesting story Well there are two One is this photograph that I can't even find on The New York Times website anymore I cannot find it on Reuters anymore I did find it on a Washington Post blog and I'll send you a copy or link. It's Islamists show their strength in Egypt, now we have seen that Tahrir Square in Cairo pictures of it

1:48:44 This makes that, you know there's people milling around during their revolution. This looks like a million people that are slamming this area. This really does look like a problem and it's apparently Islamists the Salafis mostly who have come out of the woodwork with the Muslim Brotherhood to demand that the whole country turn into a Sharia state And they kicked these generals out and this is not being covered at all. I mean it's being covered here and there but mildly, and if you saw this photo you'd go oh my god!

1:49:21 well i think this is yeah i think what's happening is uh... you know to alberta is still trying to show his way into the into the presidency there and everyone and now the real slaves are angry before was just all the techno experts in hillary clinton's a trained tweeters and then face bookers and then that she'll from google wall-a m whatever his name was wally did while he took now this is the people are really upset now And this is why it's not being covered, because God forbid that we actually show the real deal. Yeah no this isn't major but that's why its in the Saturday paper Another interesting story on the Saturday paper There was a picture of little girl with dirty fingers cute little girl with yellow hat on

CHAPTER 37 / 50 Discussion

Turkish Military Resignations and Secularism Concerns

In a major shift for Turkey, the country's top military generals resigned en masse. This is viewed as a victory for the Islamist-leaning government over the traditionally secular military. The resignations suggest that Turkey may be moving toward becoming an Islamic Republic, a transition that could complicate its relationship with the European Union.

turkey· military· secularism· islamist· european union· recep tayyip erdogan

1:50:08 May and it looks basically as though. There's a front page photo Ruby Harris 9 of Brooklyn inspecting an edible plant during for a foraging tour Apparently in New York City, there's so much foraging In other words people are starving to death So they've gone into Central Park and all around the city looking for food to eat I swear to God if you looked at this photo You'd swear she was eating a dog turd Wow So that's an interesting story. And then the one that I think is really suppressed, again on the Saturday paper... This was amazing! Top generals quit in group. Stunning Turks. Yeah this is Turkey right? Yeah I heard about this. This is major because it doesn't have to do with Cyprus as well

1:50:54 I don't know if that has anything to do with Cyprus. This has been going on in Turkey for some time. The Turkish thing is, and this is partly due... maybe Cyprus does have some involvement because this does have something to do with the EU uh... when when added turk took over the turkey he be secularized the country said it was ill in anyone who even thought of bringing in some religious leadership or bring a religious and really breaking this church-in-state barrier were essentially thrown in jailer shot very harsh about you know is especially islamists And the president who got in most recently kind of snuck in some awkward way and they were borderline, when this happened the generals would take over the country and kick the guy out. Then call for new elections until they put a normal secularist in that somebody's not running the country like a religion

1:51:46 or from a religious perspective. So this last guy who got in is actually an Islamist, in a very mild way but enough so that it won't be long before Turkey everyone's wearing a burka and the whole place has turned into an Islamic Republic but they normally...the generals would throw the guy out but because the EU is, no you can't do that this is mean and so they kind of put the clamp on it. They wouldn't let these guys do what they would have normally done and so having the upper hand the government has been arresting generals in military guy's left and right and throwing him in jail and throwing the key away so the whole group got a got the clue and they just bail out there all leave in the country their gone So now its wide open for Turkey to go

1:52:32 into and turned to a islamic republic within i'd say within fourty forty six years of interesting and perhaps it's a coincidence incidents i think that lucifer clinton was just there and then all this crap comes down Wherever that woman goes, something bad happens. Yeah and I'm almost of the opinion because of what's going on in Turkey and also in Egypt with the suppressed story about Islamists pretty much pushing their way in there...I am convinced that maybe we want this! Because for one thing it does screw up to EU especially if Turkey becomes a Islamic Republic. That really throws a monkey wrench into the EU mechanism

CHAPTER 38 / 50 Discussion

U.S. Foreign Policy and the Muslim Brotherhood

The Obama administration's willingness to engage with the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt is discussed. The hosts speculate whether the U.S. is intentionally destabilizing regions or if it has simply lost control of the political outcomes in Egypt and Turkey. The potential for these shifts to create "monkey wrenches" in European and international affairs is explored.

muslim brotherhood· barack obama· egypt· turkey· foreign policy· state department

1:53:16 and the Egypt thing, I'm not sure how that's going to screw up the world but it seems to me to be some other... problematic situation being created by I don't know how much we're behind it but i know that they want to do a deal with the muslim brotherhood in egypt and you know, we want to talk to them. Obama's made that clear he talked about it a couple times that were going to talk with him even though there are like horrible terrorists but they're not bad compared to the salafists which is similar to the wahhabis which is kind of branching this group of Islamic I'm thinking, just because of the lack of media coverage in Egypt and i have been following this. I am thinking that we're not behind it and this is not what was supposed to happen. And someone... Well thats possible! Im not going to argue that thats not possible Right but I think Alberti was supposed to get in much sooner and he's not in so its kind of broken loose and you know like the calls are going out like Anderson, Anderson Pooper your not covering this don't keep him honest over there

1:54:17 I think that's a possibility that the Egypt thing is just going to get we've completely lost control of that. But the Turkey thing, I'm almost convinced that the turkey thing is even weirder but the turkey thing and the Egypting are extremely important to international affairs and or toward the future of the United States end up the future of Europe true and it basically shows up on this Saturday all those informations in The Saturday New York Times which is what the paper really the paper to look at well this sunday paper has like a picture of a guy in a flood uh... someone flying a kite i hope U.S sees Washington as mad and the Capitol doesn't argue, in other words people are bitching about the show that's going on that we ridiculed at the beginning of our show. And then again the craziness going on in Tennessee with it which is anti-Shirai... It's nothing! There's nothing there's nothing on The Sunday Front page

CHAPTER 39 / 50 Discussion

Death of Libyan Rebel Commander Abdul Fatah Younis

General Abdul Fatah Younis, a top military commander for the Libyan rebels who had defected from Muammar Gaddafi's regime, was killed by his own soldiers. While the death is officially described as mysterious, the hosts suggest he may have been eliminated because he was not part of the long-term international "game plan" for the new Libyan government.

libya· abdul fatah younis· muammar gaddafi· rebels· assassination· ntc

1:55:12 and the saturday papers got people eating mud in the generals taking over in turkey and uh... them some stories about you've gone that's interesting as a matter of fact they're saying that they've got big oil coming right this is uh... of course on bill clinton was just in uganda these clintons man there no good another one another one on the front page of the saturday paper should just mention this because we didn't measure and it did needs and some delhi said to mention it on the show international own troops killed a rebel chief all leadership of the libyan rebels acknowledge that a group of their own soldiers killed their own top military commander this is our bill fought i u nis and i uh... i looked into this and i think here's what happened with us so this guy actually defected he was atop military guy

1:56:01 uh... with the for gaddafi he defected early on and of course we know that the year to be you and united state would basically we declared victory take a the e was opened up an office were flying the flag uh... we don't recognize uh... did not see any more it's all the the ntc the national to transnational coalition these are new guys they are our interlocutor near the guys that we talked to i think this guy probably was like, hey hold on a second what happened to the revolution? Yay! And they're like dude shut up. It's not real and our real revolution is over so I think this guy was the real deal he actually you know for whatever reasons he really wanted to maybe he wanted to be in charge himself or he wanted to lead the coup but he was not part of the game plan

1:56:56 and actually not like it i'd not have a disconnect said by consulted the book of knowledge looked around yes i am heard in either yeah you never heard this guy but he defected early on it was a senior military officer field their rank of major general which i guess is up there and he was the minister of the interior he resigned early on twenty second february two thousand eleven to defective the rebel side uh... so i think that killed by at the rebels so gap now that was interesting And people say it's all a serious mysterious death. It's a mysterious death So i'm now convinced that if people want to read keep up with what's going on in this country at least in terms of messaging Just by the saturday new york times, which I'm sure has the lowest of all the circulation of all the entire week just amazing

Hillary Clinton Secret Service Rumors and Future Candidacy

A rumor sourced from a Secret Service agent suggests that Hillary Clinton was discouraged from running for president again due to potential leaks regarding her female visitors during her time in the White House. The discussion touches on her relationship with Huma Abedin and the idea that the Secret Service holds leverage over her political future.

hillary clinton· secret service· ben bernanke· 2008 election· gossip· huma abedin

1:57:50 John's gonna harm the Sunday Times. In a recent show you were talking about Lucifer Clinton, how she was hated by the Secret Service during Bill's tenure in the White House. And there were also rumors about her lady friends which is what I'm writing about now and of course we love us a good lesbian gossip story so this revelation comes to me from a secret service agent who works at the Fed and guards Ben Bernanke Is our show cool or what John?

1:58:32 Did we have the Secret Service guarding Ben Bernanke? Yeah, of course! Gee. He says yes all the governors and of the Federal Reserve Board and the chairman get secret service protection yeah of course they do. Waste to the taxpayers money this guy has guarded presidents before as many of them are my friend is politically active He informed me that in the run-up to the 2008 election, Hillary was never supposed to be a candidate for the Democratic nomination. She was going off script in her attempt to secure the nomination and she likely will never run again either. The reason my friend informed is well known in certain circles if she does, the US Secret Service will surreptitiously leak the list of female visitors Hillary had during Bill's tenure

1:59:23 They're holding that over her head and working her like a puppet. I don't think your bisexuality, not that there's anything wrong with that is the secret but i'm sure there are plenty of lies it could be made uncomfortable or ruined if that list to female visitors got out. I think John is on record as being pretty confident she won't run again I concur having come into possession this tidbit So there you go. Wow, that's a beauty! That's a good one isn't it? That's the 10 pointer for the show. Yeah well just uh hey ten points nice so I'd go on the road more stay on the road. I'd like to see that list who could be on the list John let's just let's just fantasize about we already know Anthony Wiener's girl yeah humma what's her name Huma Huma is on Huma Huma Huma is on the list maybe Uma Thurman too just to make it a cool like mix of names

2:00:12 I'm sure there's a few people. I mean, I'm sure we could figure out who's on this gotta be some celebrities in there Oh yeah absolutely You know what that's a list? I'd love to have wouldn't that be cool Yeah, that would be funny Show me that list Hey got a good clip from I think the BBC We were talking on the previous show about Hawalis and and whole was is this uh... and this actually puts me in the right if you can believe the accuracy of this uh... of this report this is about the money that is transferred through these uh... weird little shacks and this is actually something i'm jealous of

CHAPTER 41 / 50 Discussion

Hawala Financial System and Informal Money Transfers

The Hawala system, an informal method of transferring money based on trust and local brokers rather than electronic banking, is explained. Used extensively in the Middle East and Africa, it allows for rapid, untraceable transfers that bypass government scrutiny. The hosts jokingly compare the No Agenda donation model to a Hawala system using coded language.

hawala· money transfer· black market· somalia· banking· finance

2:00:56 uh... this it's a terrorist financing network i'm very jealous of the system because that we could actually be much better than paypal and what the big is but here's how the whole wall is actually work seems to me away to tackle this problem is to go after the money supply go after the traders go after their infrastructure that allow obviously is not from bbc sorry these financial exchanges to go on and in that would take coordinated effort of uh... cyber attacks and for trading whoever's doing business the money laundering wouldn't that make a dent in some of this no they don't talk about that but it's an effectual if i'm in the middle east and i want to send you a million dollars i go into a and that people back room with a guy sitting there was a big stack of money and i write below will put the paper your name and your phone number and then i handed him the money and then fifteen minutes or fifteen minutes later

2:01:51 you walk out of a place somewhere anywhere in the world with exact same amount of money and there's not a single electronic transfer any kind of uh... you know banking detail vehicle hall walla but this is how money was always transferred mail-based without traders and businessmen, you know pay for bills. Well how do these hoalas do it? They basically add up all the money that came in at one end and then they pay it out of the other end It's a fascinating system. It's very medieval But if you go to the Habesha in Somalia You give them 100 bucks And you walk out five minutes later than the guy calls you and says yep I got it thanks

2:02:31 It puts ATMs to shame. So it's this black market financial exchange system? Uh-huh. Can't we go after that and shut that down? No, because its deliberately set up to avoid government scrutiny You know you get a member in a lot of these nasty countries the last people you want nosing around your business is the government so these systems are setup specifically to stay out of government control and away from the... Did I lose you John? Now I'm listening. Oh, the stream crapped up. Alright. Well if an investigative journalist like you can find them how come government agents couldn't? Well... You know it's funny because everybody knows about them and everybody knows where they are but they don't have signs You know there isn't like a big sign that says secret hull wallock come here So you have to know people It's like those speak-ezies you gotta know someone who takes ya there And then uh..you're good to go

2:03:28 If you come at it too hard, they magically don't exist. So that's pretty cool! We need one of those Hualas for the show. They still have to... how do they get? Okay I give your a Huala A and then somebody else is a Huala B and I say somebody give me... It's very simple. It's like a swap this is how the international... Yeah no no let me finish The question is how does A call B without there being some something you have to either call the guy, you have to send him a note, you have to send an email. I mean he just doesn't out of the blue doesn't know that i gave you 100 to give another guy? No but that's not that hard it means its much easier to create some kind of code so for instance

2:04:17 You know, if someone gives us $33.33 and when that needs to be reckoned somewhere else I just go... SQUIRREL! And then they're like oh okay the money's in. This whole show could be a hoala system Yeah it could We'd just be talking in code the whole time That would end up with you know what he ended up with? Hello IRS Exactly There was General Hayden I was on some forum recently of course he's also you know these guys all these guys it so sad when you see military people leave and then they get sucked in by the true military industrial complex. Yeah whatever happened to McChrystal? He seemed like an honest guy who quit! yeah well that's there you go, he wasn't honest guy is like screw this crap just didn't want any... You know there are real good people in the armed services

CHAPTER 42 / 50 Discussion

General Michael Hayden and "Digital Blackwater" Cyber Defense

Former CIA Director Michael Hayden advocates for private sector companies to take a more aggressive role in cyber defense, citing Chinese attacks on Google. The hosts interpret this as a call for the creation of "Digital Blackwater" organizations—private mercenary groups operating in the digital space to protect corporate and national interests.

michael hayden· cyber war· google· blackwater· private sector· cybersecurity

2:05:18 General Hayden, not one of them in my book. He's the guy who was a CIA guy he was always a CIA guy Listen to what he's shilling for. This of course is all about the cyber war, gotta be very very careful listen to what he's calling for it's a bumper sticker and we think private enterprises should be doing right now in physical space I mean Google for heaven sakes was attacked by the People's Republic of China I've only been in the private sector under three years but I don't think that's normal commercial behavior the defense is more actively and aggressively defined even for the private sector. What is permitted there is something we would never let the private sector do in physical space. I mean, look well, really throw out a bumper sticker

2:06:17 Okay. Yay! That's what we need, digital Blackwater Well now I know what my next job is gonna be Techno expert? I'ma become one-I think we should start a Digital Blackwater. I think it's a great idea What does that consist of well actually we could because we've got all the sysadmins That's a good idea actually Yeah, thats the first thing I thought of da cha ching Nice, that's a good idea. Yeah you'll be thinking differently of Hayden after we start digital blackwater yeah, yeah he'll be my buddy Hey Hayden come into the RV man Come on That's a good point so uh yeah no kidding So Mimi came up with this thesis the other day and And I had to say that is that I don't think it's as far-fetched as we'd like to believe

Tuvok-Obama Preconditioning Theory and Star Trek Voyager

A theory is presented that the character Tuvok from "Star Trek: Voyager" served as a subconscious "engram" that preconditioned the public, especially the tech community, to accept Barack Obama. The theory highlights similarities in their logical speaking cadences and calm demeanors. Comparisons are also made between Hillary Clinton and Captain Janeway.

barack obama· tuvok· star trek voyager· preconditioning· nerds· silicon valley

2:07:17 that there was a lot of nerds and silicon valley ties or big obama fans i mean this guy really with very little experience um you know a couple years in the senate most of the time campaigning at community organizers never worked it a day in his life apparently on private jets But everybody seemed to really warm up to him and like him. They think he's going to be a good guy, great president all the rest of it and she traces this back to the character in a TV show that all the nerds watched, Star Trek Voyager and Tuvok. The black Vulcan guy who even talks a little like Obama here's a clip from Tuvok talking the real Obama

2:08:05 It was quite a step for me to be able to take the helm of one of the episodes. Uh, it's a rare opportunity uh...it is that you're completely beholden to the producers for having this opportunity to do so and I'm very grateful they gave me the chance To work behind-the-scenes For a couple or three years as an intern And learning the process and then giving a shot to do it with a very tight and professional crew to help me out along way into and to have the opportunity in time to prep for the episodes. Wonderful opportunity, and a hell of a learning experience you can't beat it. Wow! Alright 10 points for you So... WOW! For Mimi actually Yeah give it to her Hello everybody

2:08:50 I looked at, watched him a couple times. He has some of the cadence of Obama with his speaking he uses...he runs his words together in certain ways that when Obama's soft-talking not when Obama is yelling which is you know mostly speaking. He has two voices Obama talks and this yelling public speaking voice doing? Buenas tardes! Hey!" And then when he soft talks, he sounds a lot like this Tuvok character. And I'm thinking this guy was like ingrained... This Tuvok character was kind of put in as an engram into the public consciousness especially amongst nerds who immediately warmed up to Obama because Obama in some subconscious way was a you know incredibly intelligent Vulcan.

2:09:37 I like it a lot! Yeah, he's totally that guy. You know what? I could probably do a remix let me see if we get... Hold on a second. He needs to get some of his wordage. Yeah i got some of this wordage but need like some Star Trek next-generation music hold on. Well no this is Voyager there's not Next Generation. Oh its Voyager okay hold on Because he sounds really good with that music in the background. Yeah, this is actually something for GX2 to do. GX2 makes Tupac and Obama and music yeah! GX2 could do it.

2:10:19 In the end, the folks I hear from in letters or meet when I travel across the country they aren't asking for much. They're just looking for a job that covers their bills and are looking for a little financial security. They want to know that if they work hard and live within their means everything will be alright. They'll be able to get ahead and give their kids a better life That's the dream each of us has for ourselves It was quite a step for me to take the helm on one of these episodes Yeah it's kind of there Yeah, it's just that there is a duotonal thing. The Tuvog guy is over compressed and he has got a different mic. Right yeah but we can fix that in the mix

2:11:01 Good find! I'm buying that. So all the Silicon Valley guys have basically been preconditioned for years? Yeah How long is this...oh let's see, maybe we should look it up in the book of knowledge and the other thing is it was also very aggressive because it had a female as head of the ship Uh huh Janeway and she was a tough, tough gal and everybody like that. So I think it did Yeah, I think preconditioning is exactly what we're talking about here Well so I find here on Yahoo Answers Is Barack Obama really Tuvok from Star Trek? And here the answer's best answered no Tuvok was logical How about this one Hillary Clinton does look kind of looked like Captain Janeway

CHAPTER 44 / 50 Discussion

Anders Breivik's Father and Norway Attack Media Coverage

The media coverage of the Norway attacks is scrutinized, specifically an interview with the father of Anders Breivik. The hosts find the controlled nature of the international press's access to the father suspicious. They discuss the broader implications of the "lone wolf" narrative and the possibility of hidden targets within such mass-casualty events.

anders breivik· norway· oslo· media· lone wolf· terrorism

2:11:49 My goodness, we're living in a Star Trek Voyager episode! That's what it looks like. Oh my goodness This is good and if you're thinking of it I've never seen Obama and Tuvok in the same picture This is very suspicious I like it that's good that's very very good Hot Pockets for Mimi Excellent job uh... has withdrawn in the end here i do have a little bit on uh... norway oslo now i think a surefire giveaway that there is some kind of ministry of truth at work is when you have mainstream journalists acting as uh... p r representatives of people involved in this so this is a clip there's a uh... reporter from uh... and no two

2:12:45 So that's the, I guess the Norway's number two show. I don't know their second channel whatever and she interviews Anders Breivik's father And by the way i think there is like 15 Anders Breiviks I don't know how many there are but this guy has been around and this is his father who I guess he left when he was fifteen or whatever But for some reason The international press is standing out Are you okay? Yeah, I just got a breath of fresh air. Oh no not too much of that so the international press is all staked out around this his His so-called father's home and i guess only one reporter was allowed to interview him That's the uh... this woman from uh... From the Norwegian state television I think it's state television And she comes out and she starts basically speaking on his behalf in English and in French

2:13:42 No, he's very sad. He's where he is still in that kind of a shock and He will never he'll never return to Norway because of this And he's ashamed He's ashamed on behalf of his son and he has not had very much contact with his son They separated when he was the boy was 15 years old and and the boy said he wanted to go to the United States, and didn't want to have contact with his father. And even before that they didn't have much contact. He doesn't have any words to express these feelings. He is very ashamed of it. So I find that somewhat suspicious... There's just so much stuff here we probably won't know any real story for years to come

2:14:43 Yeah, yeah. It's an interesting mess But it certainly has sparked up the conversation about lone wolf terrorists and did his job for sure And when you see some of these things you never know there may have been one lone person somewhere in the mix that was the real target of the whole thing that needed to be assassinated I mean its not beyond the possibility that a person, because we don't know who was killed. I mean that's more like a movie script obviously but there is always the possibility you just cover up something and then shoot a million people so nobody really notices such and such guy has been killed for some reason. A couple of notes from the big pharma front scientists hope to develop skin cancer vaccine within a year

Pharmaceutical Repurposing and UK Healthcare Rationing

The pharmaceutical industry is reportedly testing the ADHD drug Guanfacine as a treatment for age-related memory decline to secure new patents. Meanwhile, in the United Kingdom, the National Health Service (NHS) is beginning to ration common procedures like cataract surgeries and hip replacements due to austerity measures.

2:15:48 and uh... from the off-label department. How come they can't cure AIDS? Oh, don't get me started on that please. Drug for hyperactivity may help reverse memory decline in aging brains. No! Guanfacine? Guanfacine is that how you pronounce it? I don't know how do you spell it? Golf uniform alpha November Foxtrot Alpha Charlie India November Echo Guanfacine is used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in children and hypertension in adults. The potential to use this drug on a wider basis, to help mitigate some of the effects of aging on the brain, is being tested in clinical trials as we speak! It's a miracle!! This is all this patent change stuff...

2:16:43 you know, we've got to find new uses for stuff so we can create a new patent to keep selling it at crazy outrageous prices. Meanwhile in the country that was looked at so much during the Obamacare debate United Kingdom Gitmo Nation East where they have such a fantastic health care system The National Health System They are now cutting back because of course everyone's going through austerity measures operations and procedures for cataracts hips knees and tonsils being rationed.

NASA Satellite Data and Global Warming Skepticism

A study based on NASA satellite data from 2000 to 2011 suggests that the Earth's atmosphere retains much less heat from carbon dioxide than current climate models predict. Dr. Roy Spencer, a research scientist at the University of Alabama, notes a significant discrepancy between real-world data and forecasts, particularly over the oceans.

2:19:16 Fairly famous amongst the barbecue aficionados in Texas in the Austin area. Yeah, I've noticed when you roll up in this thing people like step back You know it's like me you're rolling you coming out shooting Hey from the biodiversity department Satellite data from NASA covering 2000 through 2011 has cast doubt on current computer models predicting global warming according to a new study. The data shows that much less heat is retained by carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere than is assumed in current models. Quote... What? Yes, quote... This can't be true! Hey hey hey!

2:20:07 The science is in! Science? Science?! The science is in. There's a huge discrepancy between the data and the forecasts that are especially big over the ocean, says Dr Roy Spencer co-author of this study and research scientist at the University of Alabama And that satellite data from NASA no wonder they shut thing down No wonder they fired everybody at NASA. These guys were too honest, not playing with the game! Well the one guy that Hanson character who came out of NASA... From the Hanson Brothers? Yeah he apparently was I mean he's the one that's a progenitor of the whole global warming thing this is yeah you know i don't know what to say

Magic Number 33 in Starbucks and Mexican Military Reports

The "magic number" 33 appears in two recent news items: Starbucks reporting a 33% increase in net income and 33 Mexican soldiers accidentally crossing the border into Texas in Humvees. The hosts discuss the recurring appearance of this number in media and government reports, speculating on its potential symbolic or coded meaning.

2:20:56 well we haven't talked to the other than that is just stuff that uh... there's not being covered i haven't seen this report anywhere discussed uh... it was anderson cooper houses in the uh... is on the agenda it's a little bit of what's not on the arena in india obviously says everybody's in total agreement yes possibly can't be information cannot exist because everybody's in total agreement everybody everybody There's just no doubt about it. And then we'll wind it up with this little ditty. Announcing the 33! Couple of magic number reports of note Starbucks third quarter net income up thirty three percent time to start drinking something else I'd say and this one just killed me

2:21:48 More than two dozen Mexican soldiers accidentally invaded Texas in Humvees on Tuesday after allegedly losing sight of the borderline between the two countries. 33 soldiers were quickly processed by US authorities and allowed to return to Mexico." If there ever was a message in the number 33, that's one of them. We're not quite sure what it means But it doesn't bode well. I'm getting a little annoyed by the fact that we haven't figured out what this means Well, i think its being used in a whole bunch of different ways and... I don't think so! I think there's being used for one way and im guessing its stock tips
