About this episode

Franklin D. Roosevelt suggested giving six million American Jews to King Saud of Saudi Arabia during the 1945 Yalta Conference, according to newly surfaced papers from Edward Stettinius. This revelation leads a massive retrospective of media narratives, highlighting the cyclical nature of political memes and the historical weight of executive decisions. The archives also revisit the Pentagon's emergency deployment of missile defenses to Hawaii in response to North Korean aggression and the sudden death of Continental Airlines pilot Craig Linnell mid-flight.

International political shifts take center stage as Gordon Brown resigns as Prime Minister, paving the way for David Cameron to form a Conservative government in the United Kingdom. In the United States, the Government Accountability Office issues a report criticizing White House stimulus job claims while intelligence officials Leon Panetta and Robert Mueller testify on the high probability of a domestic terrorist attack. The collection includes Sarah Palin's 2008 campaign verbal tics, Pat Robertson's claims regarding Haiti's historical pact with the devil, and conservative strategist Paul Weyrich's admission that his political leverage increases when fewer people vote.

Cultural oddities and medical warnings round out the retrospective, featuring a study on how Botox paralyzes facial feedback loops to hinder emotional experiences. Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak reflect on four years of media deconstruction, from Charlie Sheen's public meltdown to the bizarre case of a naked mailman in Wisconsin. The segment concludes with a look at the dark history of Robert Cleason, a violent mental patient who successfully posed as a war hero within a Mormon community.

No Agenda Clip Show Special Introduction

Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak introduce a special "Clip Edition" of the No Agenda podcast, departing from their usual media assassination format. The hosts explain that the collection represents years of work curated from the past five years of the show's history. They highlight how the clips demonstrate the cyclical nature of media memes and political stories, specifically mentioning past warnings from Senator Dianne Feinstein.

00:00 Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak It is time once again for the greatest podcast in the universe! It's your favorite show everybody The Clip Edition This is no agenda Coming to you from parts unknown as I'm currently unavailable here at the Camofo Studios In the capital of the low and star state in Austin Texas In the morning everybody I am Adam Curry And from Northern Silicon Valley where I've got my trigger on the finger I'm John C. Dvorak It's Craig Vaught and Buzzkill Love the stinger. How does that happen? I don't want to know. Alright everybody, so no media assassination today in fact today we have a little surprise which you think will be equally as entertaining and actually probably took more work than regular It took me months to do this

00:51 I mean in total time, it's taken a couple of years to put these clips together. We've got so many of them and there are a lot of classics in here and I think everyone is going to be pleasantly surprised at how entertaining just clips can be. Because most the time like the end of year or beyond that mainstream media does their own version of a clip show which of course is jam packed with asinine advertisements because everyone sitting home super wanking themselves But we actually have the past five years of awesomeness. Did you go back that far, really? Yeah I went to some of the early shows when we first started doing clips and picked out some of the gems that you'll remember like how two and a half years ago Feinstein said ask the question of Congress when do you expect to be attacked this year And everybody's yes! We're going to be attacked! The whole planet will be attacked! Well it's now a battleground

01:45 You know, and so... So wait a minute. You're saying that it's not true all these things they say? Well this is kind of the clip show kinda proves how stupid the whole scene is and I think one of the things I like about doing this was uh fact that you get a sense of these memes and stories have come and gone in and people will go oh geez I forgot all about that yeah that was more crap gonna be very entertaining I got all the funny clips i got Taylor Swift going blah blah blah blah blah blah trying to describe you she's noodling, she's noodling. No noodling! I get all the classics Alright, so we will all be enjoying this together as one big happy family. Alright let it begin! More than 58 thousand of the jobs the White House claims were created or retained by the stimulus come from projects where no money has been spent nearly 1 out every 10 jobs claimed on the administration's recovery dot gov website that according to a report by the government accountability office

CHAPTER 02 / 38 Discussion

Government Stimulus, Amanda Knox, and Pharmaceutical Advertisements

A series of news clips and advertisements cover diverse topics including a Government Accountability Office report criticizing White House stimulus job claims and the legal case of Amanda Knox. The segment includes public service announcements regarding the flu and pharmaceutical advertisements for bipolar depression and rheumatoid arthritis. It concludes with a dramatic "Voice of Terror" propaganda-style clip and a list of adult film starlets.

02:44 And there's all the saying is great food, great atmosphere. Great food, great atmosphere what would you change? Nothing! What would you change nothing I can't believe you know that your business is f***ed On her myspace page Amanda Knox called herself Foxy Knoxie Sharing it's what kids do but every year an average of four million kids get the flu and miss out on sharing I do have the microphone and i thank you for the 16 seconds. And now, oh! I've used it up. You owe me my time When you're living with bipolar depression It's easy to feel like your fading into the background

03:33 That's because bipolar depression doesn't just affect you, it can consume you. We'll make a generous $240 investment in this station and we'll send the answer is you package. We hope that you think that is valuable community service if you do please pick up membership that's right for you and give us a call I'd rather invest the money elsewhere than there. You're back Thank-you Mr Chairman let me just note for the record that I am very disturbed with a policy that has ended up with giving me one minute to express my opinions and to ask questions at this very important hearing, considering my background in Afghanistan. And in spite of your casting dispersions earlier I can report that GLAAD the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation says it is in the midst of meetings with The Fox Network over their homophobic and transphobic animated shows

No intelligent defense of this unmitigated crap Well we're back with Michael Bernard Beckwith the founder of the Agape International Spiritual Center And the host of our show one of the things I love about your presentation You say it's not a performance. It's a transformance is exactly that is how you mine words for meaning. You find meanings in words that we don't normally think about, for example the word problem being an emblem. Right the problem if that's really where the root word comes from it's an emblematic of our thoughts and our beliefs and most of those beliefs are hidden

05:18 Today, state school chief Jack O'Connell announced that two federal grants are paying for 23 million masks and gloves for California schools. Pleasanton Unified just received its shipment this week. School officials say they will use them on a case-by-case basis It's another level of protection for everybody and it certainly raises people's comfort levels. I guess that's good, you know because they could spread it to other kids so yeah! I'm glad they're doing something. Now Channel 2 News has learned that next Wednesday state and local transportation officials are set to announce a new round of potentially big delays and cost overruns. Nine-year old Katie Dougherty says the Santa that ended up in her locker

Well according to a new poll Tigers popularity has dropped to 33% and I'm surprised because if all the stories we're hearing are true let's just say half of the stories that were hearing are true it seems to me that this guy was doing pretty well in the polling The United States is prepared to work with other countries toward a goal of jointly mobilizing 100 billion dollars a year by 2020 to address the climate change needs of developing countries. Coincidence? I'd like to think not, I think not! One thin September soon, a floating continent disappears in midnight sun

06:48 Vapors rise as fever settles on an acid sea. Neptune's bones dissolve, snow glides from the mountain ice fathers floods for a season hard rain comes quickly then dirt is parched kindling is placed in the forest for the lightning celebration unknown creatures take their leave unmourned horsemen ready their stirrups Passion seeks heroes and friends. The bell of the city on the hill has rung, the shepherd cries... The hour of choosing has arrived! Here are your tools." I'm so glad you read that. I was really- I'm very happy to hear it in your voice.

07:33 Where are people with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis going? They're discovering the first self-injectable RA medicine you take just once a month. Season finale, my guy was just about to propose to Grace Yeah and make her million dollars richer How much of that is that deep seated ideology almost nativist maybe it is nativist ideology on the far right It's energizing this obstructionism What do you think is the connection When it comes to fighting flu viruses like 2009 H1N1, there are several steps you can take. Wash your hands and get your flu shot. This is the voice you have learned to fear, this is the voice of terror again we bring you disaster crushing humiliating disaster this is the voice of terror a secret airplane factory somewhere in England listen screams of the dying can still be heard this is the voice of terror

08:28 Are you there people of Britain shivering in your cellars? Listen operative 41 the fuse is lighted. This is the voice of terror Englishmen do you still await your doom and your stupid stuffy little clubs it will come I promise you Operative 23, The time is now We strike you on the high seas as well as on the land this is the voice of terror It's been widely reported that the father of the suspect in the Christmas incident warned US officials in Africa about his son's extremist views.

Did he say anything did he do anything Well, he was still sitting and he was getting on fire. And he was still holding the device, the bomb right now. Are you mad? What sort of a wild goose chase are you suggesting?! It's ridiculous! He's dying to put a stop to this! You think you know the whole story!?

CHAPTER 03 / 38 Discussion

Sarah Palin, Joe Biden, and Tea Party Grassroots

Clips detail Sarah Palin's struggle to avoid calling Joe Biden "O'Biden" during the 2008 campaign, a verbal tic attributed to subconscious pressure from Tina Fey parodies. The discussion shifts to the rise of the Tea Party movement, debating whether figures like Dick Armey are leaders or merely figureheads for a genuine grassroots phenomenon.

sarah palin· joe biden· barack obama· tea party· dick armey· ron paul

09:57 Think again She kept confusing Joe Biden's name with Obama's calling him Oh Biden she did she did over and over again It was a verbal tech, and it was subconscious but when you had gone through the Tina Fey parodies, you certainly cannot be in a position where you walk out onto the stage and refer to him repeatedly on national television as Senator O'Biden. It would have just been devastating beyond words. So how did you get around that? There's really multiple people and I wasn't one of them who all said at the same time just say can i call you Joe which he did.

10:48 But one O'Biden did slip out. Barack Obama and Senator O'Biden, you've said no to everything in trying to find domestic change... Still McCain staffers were delighted. Well that's a good question about galvanization because Ron Paul was one of them but there are number of people around the country with different tea parties yeah Dick Armey was certainly one who with his organization has helped to fund buses and all this bring people out but you got a lot of tea parties around the country this is what followers without real leaders. You don't have... They've got figureheads, yeah this is a true grassroots movement." In New York City the health commissioner says we need to slash 25% of the salt from our foods. And the more that government... Aristotle said that? Yeah he did I'm just stilling it down for you so you don't have to read The Republic

CHAPTER 04 / 38 Discussion

Pat Robertson, Haiti, and Paul Weyrich on Voting

Pat Robertson claims Haiti's 2010 earthquake was the result of a historical "pact with the devil" from the 1700s. This is followed by a controversial clip of conservative strategist Paul Weyrich arguing against universal voting, stating that his political leverage increases as the voting populace decreases.

pat robertson· haiti· paul weyrich· voting rights· vaccination

11:30 Excellent. My ancestors in Ireland who were beheaded and raped by the Danish Vikings, I don't know if that was a happy experience... Yesterday Pat Robertson said the people of Haiti are suffering because in the 1700s they made a pact with the devil. I think in order to just limit the impact that this is going to have on our community then the thing you can do to help us out or help everybody out is to just get vaccinated. Even if no one in your home smokes, secondhand smoke can be closer than you think. Now many of our Christians have what I call the goo-goo syndrome good government they want everybody to vote i don't want everybody to vote

12:21 elections are not won by a majority of people they never have been from the beginning of our country and they are not now as a matter of fact our leverage in the elections quite candidly goes up as the voting populace goes down thank you very much so couldn't we just reboot the computer or something? Winston needs a passenger jet, not a laptop actually he's not that far off He witnessed injured people living together. Can you see the angels?

CHAPTER 05 / 38 Discussion

Condom Marketing, Feed Me Bubby, and Terrorist Threats

A montage features a commercial for Neutrogen Ecstasy condoms followed by a profile of "Feed Me Bubby," an online cooking show hosted by an 83-year-old woman and her grandson. The segment transitions to a serious congressional hearing where intelligence officials, including Leon Panetta and Robert Mueller, confirm the high likelihood of a terrorist attack on the U.S. homeland.

13:11 Can you send me an angel? What is this you sold us? Condoms. It feels like nothing's there That's the whole idea This is Neutrogen Ecstasy, a totally new fit plus his side her side lubrication to feel so much pleasure It changes everything that I feel about condoms Is that bad? No Alright we gotta rip off this dress Rip off the dress and get into that bathing suit And by the way everybody she looks amazing in a swimsuit Get in there! Get in there. Madam Speaker, The President of the United States Let me tell you this I never knew what blogging was or Twitter Or any of these fancy names Do you know? I'm becoming an expert It turned out that a 83 year old woman and her grandson have a hit online cooking show called Feed Me Bubby

14:12 What's today's Yiddish word? Today's Yiddish word is babi, meaning grandmother. Babi Cooks and her grandson Avram does everything else. What is the likelihood of another terrorist attempted attack on the U.S. homeland in the next three to six months high or low Director Blair an attempted attack The priority is certain I would say Mr Panetta I would agree with that Mr Muller Agree General Burgess. Yes, ma'am. I agree. This is the voice you have learned to fear this is the voice of terror. Sorry Archie I had an affair with Ron Hemmings. I just wasn't getting the emotional support that I needed from you

CHAPTER 06 / 38 Discussion

Super Bowl Ad Rejections, Botox Emotions, and Al Gore

Media reports cover CBS's rejection of Super Bowl advertisements from Man Crunch and Planned Parenthood. A psychological study suggests Botox may hinder the experience of emotions by paralyzing facial feedback loops. The segment also touches on marijuana legalization efforts in California and sexual assault accusations against Al Gore.

planned parenthood· man crunch· botox· al gore· marijuana legalization

14:59 Dr. Ernst made me realize that I owed it to myself to actualize my feelings Besides, what's the worst thing that could happen? Oh, I don't know Let's see Sam gets made they kill him then you Kens in the other stormed a place and the Dutchman releases The toxin killing all of you and half of Los Angeles major funding for the PBS NewsHour has been provided by the voice of terror And by Toyota And I think Planned Parenthood should have equal time on Super Bowl Sunday and should not have to spend one dime to have it. Just weeks ago CBS rejected a Super Bowl ad for gay men's dating website called Man Crunch After they shot Gerber, they fled

15:38 and had plenty of time to get away. Alright, well do you use Botox? If you do listen up psychologists say that using Botox may actually get in the way experiencing emotions as well as showing them one investigation found no one at fault then a second accused three officers of dereliction of duty even though one of them Captain Matthew Meyer was awarded the Silver Star for the way he fought that day Does Rolling Stone magazine usually get this kind of access? A lot of people wondering how you got such remarkable access to the general and his staff. It was crazy, this guy had that much access I mean it wasn't as if you had spent months with them gaining their trust This incredible wall-to-wall access You were almost brought into the inner circle What on earth was he thinking giving an interview to Rolling Stone Is it the argument that climate which is possibly the most complex system there is

16:29 the idea that it A can be predicted and B can be altered by changing one component is absurd. Our biggest source of imported oil actually is Canada, our second biggest is Mexico so ending trade in oil would do as much damage to our major trading partners and ourselves as it would to these other groups we don't want to get energy from. The efforts to legalize marijuana in California say it could lead to more crime and they may point to yesterday as some evidence. Police in Los Angeles say that two workers at two separate medical marijuana dispensaries were killed My exclusive interview with Bachelor Jake's coming up, but right now another Al Gore scandal. First it was the cheating rumors and now accusations of sexual assault Jerry has got the police report on what Al is saying today He is not the only one a little Gaga obsessed right now Ellen Raw in Chicago You know first thing you do is acknowledge who the enemy is Bank Of America

CHAPTER 07 / 38 Discussion

FDR, King Saud, and the Yalta Conference Secret

A historical segment examines the papers of Edward Stettinius regarding the 1945 Yalta Conference. The transcript suggests President Franklin D. Roosevelt made a controversial remark to Joseph Stalin about giving the "six million Jews in the United States" to King Saud of Saudi Arabia. The hosts discuss whether this indicated anti-Semitism or Roosevelt's declining health months before his death.

I believe that American ingenuity and entrepreneurship can solve problems once they have the right pricing, and the right help from government to do so. And the right help from government to do so.

There are hundreds of them You showed me a document can you bring this again tell me what this document is will horrify you. This is, what this is Glenn, a record of the so-called Yalta Conference long before McCarthy came along in 1945 where Churchill and Roosevelt met with Stalin at Yalta which was a resort on the Black Sea in Crimea and this is the transcript or minutes of what happened at that meeting An official version of this was published but the paragraph that I'm

18:52 Maybe I'll give it to you to read. It's about Roosevelt is saying to Stalin and Churchill that he is going to meet with the king of Saudi Arabia after this conference, King Saud. And Stalin asks him does he intend to make any concessions to King Saud of Saudi Arabia? Now let me let you read what the answer for the error is The president replied that there was only one concession he thought he might offer, and that was to give him the six million Jews in the United States. Yes... Where is this from? That is from these papers of Edward Stettinius who was the Secretary of State at the time of Yalta those papers are at University Virginia in Charlottesville What does he mean by

19:41 Well, one might think that he was a closet anti-Semite. But I think it also suggests that maybe he was a little bit gaga This is at the end of... this is real close to the end He died two months after Yalta No problem! Do you want to die when your 37 or when your 86? Im already older than 37 so.. Okay, so your on your way! Im on my way exactly You wan't your kids to grow up or do you want them What do you mean what do you want let's go back to this one 37 or 86 How long did Methuselah live sir 38. That's a proven fact now what? Yes, 38 If this was Texas which is the state that is directly on the border with Mexico and they were calling for a measure like this saying that they had a major issue with you know with undocumented people flooding their borders I would say...I would have to look twice at this but this is a state that is

A legislative clip features a correction regarding Arizona's border with Mexico, followed by the political transition in the United Kingdom. Gordon Brown is shown resigning as Prime Minister after the 2010 election failed to produce a majority, leading to David Cameron forming a new Conservative government.

20:39 away is removed from the border. Mr Chairman, I just wanted to assure my colleague that Arizona does in fact share a border with the country of Mexico We will get to the bottom of this and we will be able to determine what the initial triggers were That's going to take time there are 66 million trades on May 6th covering 19.5 billion shares of stock Somebody who's going to give you a multi-million dollar payoff in a couple of years after you create a little loophole for him on the side, wink wink. We had an election last Thursday after five days finally today Gordon Brown resigned as Prime Minister because that election of the three parties gave none of them a majority and he couldn't do a deal with the third party in order to gain office there you see him walking out of Downing Street to go and ask The Queen if he could move on

21:43 in life. She then asked David Cameron, who is the head of the Conservative Party if he would kindly form a government? He is now therefore the Prime Minister. Everybody look what I wrote! Young woman you get that fish out of my parlor what has gotten into you?! She's a lesbian thank you and good night San Jose man is accused of secretly videotaping women's body parts while they were grocery shopping The California Beef Council says all beef is wholesome and nutritious. So it isn't a case of people just being unhappy, misfits if you will in the United States like some people are anywhere I suppose and are looking for ways to justify their own alienation joining in some fringe crazy we would think crazy zealous group over there You believe there's a real difference in world view and its just fundamentally different they look at the world as

Social Media Regulation, Miss Universe Racy Photos, and Eric Schmidt

A discussion on the regulation of anonymous social networking sites for youth is followed by a clip of Melania Trump questioning a Miss Universe contestant about "racy" glamour shots.

22:34 uh... us over here against them seeking to crush the religion in their culture using even extreme means like blowing up by three thousand people in new york and other words is an absolutely stark one eighty difference it isn't a matter just finding some people who are slumming corrupt set about life in the united states and recruiting them they have to share that point of view to join yes that's true she's a lesbian i'm a huge believer in states rights i think that's what so wonderful So I think it's perfectly fine for Arizona to create that law. And, I am against illegal immigration but also against racial profiling so i see both sides in this issue. Okay so the question... A new social networking site has become a place for young people to anonymously post gossip nasty and sometimes sexual comments about their peers should such sites be regulated by the government?

23:33 I feel that it's hard to regulate these sites, regulate any website. But i feel that we should take into our own hands to be above the status and show people that we should be kind and caring to everyone no matter who they are what they look like or what they believe in. We'll begin with a spin traveling of my creation. What we'll see will defy explanation. Judge number five, Melania Trump your question please?

You gotta remember while we're sitting here there are people fighting in Afghanistan right now some of those young guys in Helmand province will be dead uh...in twenty days because there is heavy firefights going on will be dead uh... in twenty days dead dead dead dead you got that extra pint of blood pumping through your veins graceful form

32:18 Now everybody gather round and listen if you would When I tell you every person needs a way of feeling good Every kitty needs a ball of string and every dog a stick All you need is a bag of weed to really get a kick. One, two three four five six seven eight! A bag of weed, a bag of weed Oh everything is better with a bag of weed It's the only help that you'll ever need Because everything is better with a bag of weed In California a vote comes up in November on Prop 19 That would legalize regulate and tax marijuana under California law Not federal law have you? A poll out this week suggests most voters in that state

Public Television Energy, Charlie Sheen, and Camera Angles

A speaker describes public television as an "energy system" for the home, which is juxtaposed with a Chevron advertisement using similar language. Charlie Sheen's "winning" era is referenced alongside a discussion on how television networks use close-up camera angles to make interview subjects appear less trustworthy.

public television· charlie sheen· chevron· marijuana· camera tricks

32:59 are cool with legalizing pot, but support is slipping a little. So who would be hardest hit by Prop 19 being shot down? Those who truly need it for medicinal purposes and of course the makers of snack foods But more than anything else the reason I support public television the way, I do is because I believe it's an energy system That's coming into our home that television set that sits in your living room or your bedroom Is a system that allows energy to come into your home. Energy impacts everything! Everything has energy in the universe That's the shift that I've made from psychology if you will way back and they in the early days with me To more of a spiritual approach And I believe

33:47 Bringing the right kind of energy into our homes is a paramount importance. And I was banging seven gram rocks and finishing them because that's how I roll, I have one speed, I have one gear... Go! Major funding for The News Hour with Jim Lehrer is provided by What the world needs now is energy. The energy to get the economy humming again. The energy to tackle challenges like climate change What if that energy came from an energy company? It's a system that allows energy to come into your home. Energy impacts everything, everything is energy in the universe. Every day Chevron invests 62 million dollars in people and ideas. It doesn't kill you it's not like cigarettes that give you cancer...it's a leaf! It grows out of ground, its a plant

34:32 All right, what does America look like if the whole country had legalized regulated taxed marijuana? Again I think it'd be better. Don't think we need to legalize any intoxicant Our bodies are so Marvishly made by the creator ABC cut as close as they could to her they the face That's a trick that 60 minutes discovered the closer that they get to you, the more likely people are to distrust you. The closer the shot and they know that and so they cut in on her to actually make her look less effective less articulate and it's really not fair in an interview. Well, so why would that not bogus? We're gonna do- Why would that not bogus? The straight bogus start bogus 80% of the Department of Homeland Security personnel are operational And for comparison this is roughly the size of the Marine Corps I don't know when we're going to the motion to proceed tomorrow a little bit of bait n switch going on there because The bill that were actually gonna be voting on is...I think its just about three pages and uh

North Korean Missile Threats, Pilot Death, and Walter Cronkite

News reports cover the Pentagon's deployment of missile defenses to Hawaii in response to North Korean threats. A Continental Airlines flight safely landed in Newark after the pilot, Craig Linnell, died mid-flight. The segment concludes with the news of legendary journalist Walter Cronkite being gravely ill.

35:36 That's the product that the leader will shift to after that. About 20 and a half pounds, I don't know about you but when we get our Thanksgiving turkey it is about a twenty pound turkey so there you have it. Well pictures of white students in blackface at Halloween party sparking anger and debate among those in Northwestern University community And Shepard, the medicine inside that shoe box included cough suppressants, medicine to fight off bronchitis and other medication to treat HIV. His lawyer was speaking today what did he say? Well I hope that he doesn't turn out just another typical cheater for her sake. We're really going to be able to help her so this sting has got a go down perfect for her. I don't want anything to get screwed up Let's do this

36:29 A few days later, Jody contacted us to let us know that Matt would be out late. The plan was for me to meet him at a bar and lure him into a hotel room where Jody will be waiting to confront him She suspected he'd be at Tailgaters Passengers aboard the transatlantic flight from Brussels had no idea until they landed that their pilot had died mid-flight For what purpose is this gentleman from Texas right? To address the house with one amendment There's no objection, the gentleman is recognized Thank you Mr Speaker You know, just moments ago on this floor there was cheering. There was clapping over the passing of the Crap and Trade Bill and it's a little tough to get excited you know from a political standpoint I should be overjoyed because i really believe in my heart that when the American people find out and this is just a part of it when they find out what has been done to them they are going to be livid and they're gonna throw some people out of this body I just know that'll happen

37:31 Also tonight, American warships are tracking a North Korean vessel off the coast of China that may be carrying illegal weapons. Meantime the Pentagon is beefing up our missile defense system to protect Hawaii from a North Korean missile attack A Japanese newspaper reports the north maybe planning to test fire another missile This one aimed at Hawaii on the 4th July 60-year old Craig Linnell dead in the cockpit Aimed at Hawaii on the fourth of July Most analysts doubt that it could reach the islands, but Defense Secretary Robert Gates isn't taking any chances. deploying a giant radar and missile interceptors to the Hawaiian Islands. The continental flight landed safely at Newark shortly before noon about three hours into the flight, a call went out for doctors on board A cardiologist responded and found the captain 60 year old Craig Linnell dead in the cockpit When I came in it was just too late We tried to defibrillate him but there was no use anymore

38:32 I feel terrible for him and very grateful to be here. Pretty scary. Co-pilots landed that plane safely, Captain Lanell had more than 32 years of experience with Continental and word tonight that legendary journalist Walter Cronkite is gravely ill and may be close to death That's according to a report on the LA Times website which sources CBS News Insiders The 92 year old was once known as the most trusted man in America. Pretty scary Winning I think it's only natural that anyone would think that to win is important. That's the reason you're in this business, if you have any kind of pride or any kind of dedication... ...or any kind of backbone or spunk to use, you try to be the best in your own profession regardless what it is. Anybody who has the idea just to play or just take part and that's all that necessary, I think he's in the wrong business. I think-I think he's in the wrong country. Let me put it that way

Bed Bugs, Obama's Religion, and Star Trek Humor

A montage covers a bed bug infestation in movie theaters, polling data showing declining belief in President Obama's Christian faith, and celebrity feuds between Tyra Banks and Janice Dickinson. A Star Trek parody clip features Ensign Chekov making a joke about smelling Klingons in the vacuum of space.

bed bugs· barack obama· tyra banks· jersey shore· star trek

39:32 I think one of the things that made America great is to try to be the best in everything that they do. And a best, again, is signified by winning." Oh there's no winning! We don't like to foster a competitive atmosphere but we laugh alot Now everyone hug and share a secret! Get your heart racing this week on Speed Awesome stuff. I think it's worth it to keep safe To get patted down? Well, I'd rather not do it but to be safe. It's worth it. What else can you do? To be safe! Coming up...it's a feeding frenzy on the move Bed bugs are giving people nightmares Pretty scary Now less than half

40:23 Democrats say the president is a Christian. Less than half of African-Americans say the president is a Christian. Less than half of people who give Obama positive job approval ratings, say he's a Christian." What they said and did their dramatic transformations revealed today it is a show that special report Supermodel Smackdown, Tyra Banks vs Janice Dickinson. The brand new ugly battle over Tyra apparently praising a super skinny model? This is not going to be pretty! We know why the insects are crawling out of beds and into movie theaters and classrooms and more. Pretty scary Speaking of Tyra we might name her show as tonight's most provocative celebrity of the week maybe it'll be Jersey Shore's Shnooki for getting charged with being a pest

41:07 Or we could name Jennifer Aniston for her R-word bombshell. Mr Chekhov, this flight is supposed to provide both experience and knowledge How close will we come to the nearest Klingon outpost if we continue on our present course? One parsec set Close enough to smell them That is illogical Ensign Odors cannot travel through the vacuum of space I was making a little joke, sir. Extremely little handsome. Josh, as you mentioned this is all taking place two weeks ahead of schedule and it's only some 450 troops or so which suggests that they were pretty much at 50 thousand troops anyway. Do we have any more insight into the timing of all this? Well the timing it tactical They were worried about attacks on their way out to country So they did it hopefully be out into country before what they would call the enemy would even realize that there gone While media had been along with the ride they had embargoed the story until today

CHAPTER 16 / 38 Discussion

Iraq Troop Withdrawal, Eat Pray Love, and Bill Clinton

Reports describe the final U.S. combat troops crossing from Iraq into Kuwait under a media embargo. This is followed by a marketing segment for "Eat Pray Love" merchandise and a critical assessment of Bill Clinton's character, with one speaker labeling him a sociopath.

iraq· kuwait· eat pray love· bill clinton· sociopath

42:15 as the last troops crossed into relative safety in Kuwait. They also drove at night, so each of these long stretches of strikers maybe 30 to 50 of them at a time would leave around 11 p.m. in the evening and then stop at a base halfway between Baghdad and Kuwait at 7 in the morning rest up and then leave the next night at 11 again we in fact is that package just said were on that journey with him two nights ago The Eat, Pray Love Robin by Me and Ro Charm necklace $79.95. The cocktail napkins these are dream journals this one

42:52 It's called female energy. These fabulous white pillowcases with the word L-O-V-E. Pray with the pink crystals, eat has the lavender crystals love is the clear crystals. Celebrating Eat Pray Love right here with amazing Hutton Wilkinson. The whole thing is a celebration. Has time made you more or less admiring of Bill Clinton? Certainly not more. I'm not sure it could have been any less Really? Yes You had that much... It's visceral, if you like What is the visceral?

43:32 Interviewed some of the women whose stories never quite made it, you know who claimed that he forced himself on them I think they're telling the truth. I thought that George Stephanopoulos was essentially right when you realized That man was sociopathic other people don't have a real existence and I mean here He's only cares about himself. I'm a teenage girl my BFF Becky Texan says she's kissed Johnny Well, that's a problem cuz I like Johnny Now, I'm emotionally compromised and... whoopsies. I'm all OMG!

CHAPTER 17 / 38 Discussion

Google Funding, India's Emissions, and Financial Crisis Blame

A claim is made that Google attempted to revoke charitable funding for an organization. The segment then covers India's refusal to accept legally binding emission targets and a heated congressional exchange regarding who is to blame for the financial crisis, specifically naming Goldman Sachs and AIG.

google· india· emissions· goldman sachs· aig· tarp

44:08 Becky's not even hot. Well, Google has not been our best friend you could say in fact early on when we put out a press release they didn't like they actually tried to get our charitable funding revoked contacted the Rose Foundation and suggested we ought not be funded OMG Just in time for summer toss out your makeup and give your skin fresh clean look with the number one proactive. We're going through life together I give him the address. I put him in the car and i shut my eyes until he came home with blood on his clothes Oh my god, Monica Actually... The shooter's out of frame there Where were you again? I'm right over there Do you have any other cameras? Another angle? Can't see much of anything here

44:58 Well, we're gonna need to take this for evidence. You know tarot can enhance the video maybe expand the view yeah What can you tell us about this guy King? What is the likelihood of another terrorist attempted attack in on the US homeland in the next three to six months. High or low? Director Blair An attempted attack, the priority is certain I would say Mr Panetta I would agree with that Mr Mueller Agree General Burgess Yes ma'am, agree Mr Dinger yes India's position is

45:55 I'd like to make it clear and categorical, India's position is that we are simply not in a position to take on legally binding emission reduction targets. Developing countries like India don't want to be forced to slow growth in the name of reducing emissions If the people of America didn't create the problem, who created the problem? You said that if the people of America didn't create the problem. So tell us who created it. Were the banks involved? Well I would say this was...this problem there's so much blame to go around you hardly...

46:36 people, few institutions. Okay. Well you look at excesses have been building up for a very long time and I just want you to give me some names. I have a limited amount of time. Would we include the banks? Would we include Goldman? Would we include AIG? Would we include anyone who got TARP funds? You could say financial institutions, regulators, investors So, that there is plenty of mistakes by a vast multitude. You'd be interested in knowing that in the financial services committee yesterday all the banks were represented and they almost to the person indicated they weren't responsible for this Yankees won without Derek Jeter and Johnny Damon on some of those games Right because he has the flu it's going through his locker room That's the problem with dressing with men And getting naked and showering with them If one gets the flu you all get the flu Just like that

CHAPTER 18 / 38 Discussion

School Shootings, Hillary Clinton in Congo, and Memory Erasure

Clips detail a school shooting response and Hillary Clinton's visit to a refugee camp in Goma, Congo. A scientific segment describes an experiment where researchers used a chemical called ZIP to erase specific memories in rats by targeting the hippocampus.

school shooting· hillary clinton· congo· memory· zip chemical

47:26 She felt lost until the combination of three good probiotics and Phillips Colon Health defended against the bad gas, diarrhea and constipation. And it helped balance her colon! Oh now that's the best part! It was just shocking... Weapons drawn they formed lines and carefully walked room to room looking for the gunman. Meanwhile, the school sent text messages to students telling them to shelter in place stay in your rooms and lock all the doors there was an altercation between two groups of African-American males in the parking lot number six and during that altercation one subject was shot third pertinent one excessively high unemployment I need you think up three things when you worry about a bull market jobs

48:12 Jobs and jobs. Okay, so we're missing a big piece of the puzzle here Hillary's concluding a trip to Africa now with the only Female elected president on the continent in Liberia Ellen Johnson Sirleaf But a couple of days ago she was in Goma in the Congo the site of one of the most difficult refugee camps in the entire world I don't know what you think, but I think American Secretaries of State ought to be in the places of human misery around the world. He's walking away... So when the rat stays away from a particular area we can imagine that he has remembered where he was shot Then Fenton injects the rats hippocampus with a chemical called ZIP known to undo the effect of PKMZ

49:03 And what we observed, which was quite remarkable... ...was the rat acted as though it had forgotten completely where the shock zone was. And it explored the arena as if it were in the arena for the first time. Just got shocked! Yet, the rat could learn once again to avoid the shock zone So we hadn't damaged the rats brain We hadn't broken its ability to learn anything What we had simply done was specifically erased the memory for that shock zone. If I can add to that, you know...I think one of the biggest problems we see right now is the fact that so much of what we do online actually requires training and I think where you're going to see the greatest innovation in the coming decade is going to be around that human-computer interface

CHAPTER 19 / 38 Discussion

Human-Computer Interface, Gay Face Study, and Southwest Airlines Incident

A discussion on the future of human-computer interfaces and broadband constraints is followed by a report on a study claiming people can identify sexual orientation by facial muscle tension. The segment ends with the story of a Southwest Airlines passenger who stripped naked and assaulted others mid-flight.

broadband· second life· gay face· southwest airlines· darius chappell

49:56 And think about this, I know there are people on Second Life right now but imagine a universe where you have the Star Trek holodeck. Where you could literally ask the computer to act or ask questions and get answers in the same way if you look at some of these software companies they made it so complicated to interact with their technologies and at the same time, the underlying architecture in the platforms. It's almost a chicken-and-egg question because a lot of it was built and architected around bandwidth constraints therefore you had to deploy technologies that were much more complicated in terms of interacting and communicating Now as broadband deployment and more importantly if you look at the megabits per second

50:47 how much information can we get through the pipeline is going to be so important. And as new and new software technologies are being introduced, you're gonna see a huge change from how applications are architected with skip logic to video and much more human ways of interacting with these applications rather than binary or COBOL ways of interacting with those applications. Let's take a look at our victim Which group does Dante look like? The men on the left or the men on the right? Um...the men on the left. Oh, you have a sixth sense! By that I mean you see gay people. You think Dante's gay? Yeah and so do you all the men on the left are gay A new study in the Journal of Experimental Psychology showed that most people can identify gay man by face alone It has to do with the pattern of muscle tension in the face Our formula is this We go out we hit people in the mouth

51:53 saves money and saves lives. A Southwest Airlines passenger is in custody in the Bay Area tonight, authorities say he not only hit passengers he stripped on board shortly after flight 947 departed Oakland for St Louis this morning passengers say Darius Chappell exposed himself to a woman she screamed and the 21 year old allegedly punched her in the face authorities say Chappell then ran down the aisle fought with the flight attendants and stripped naked as the passenger photo shows. Research shows America wants more comedy I thought the audience wanted more pancakes! Ooh, sorry Jessica Alba but it's more comedy served fresh every night which is why we're bringing you The Jay Leno Show You mean i made all these pancakes for nothing? Uh-huh Jobs jobs jobs and jobs let's vote for jobs

Global Warming Denial, NPR Funding, and Evolution Debate

A montage of clips features debates over global warming, the funding of NPR's new headquarters despite layoffs, and a Republican politician being questioned on his belief in evolution. The segment highlights the tension between political ideology and scientific consensus.

global warming· npr· evolution· republicans· science

52:45 That lady is a lunatic. What she's doing is a danger to society. To be visited every five years by somebody, and talk about how you want to die? I think it's crazy this is in there but your thoughts... But its not in there! It IS IN THERE! Its in the dingle bill! Chris first of all So if 9-11 happened in a web 1.0 world terrorists are certainly in a web 2.0 world now If the people of America didn't create the problem who created the problem And people who are sick should actually wear masks at home. Because it will not put seniors in a position of being put to death by their government It's absolutely run out of control, completely run amok, its not going to work here Amsterdam is a mess my friend Swelling of the brain? Brought on by measles

53:32 One thin September soon, a floating continent disappears in midnight sun. Brought on by measles He smelled like alcohol so I knew it wasn't real Santa because Santa doesn't drink alcohol It happened because reality just became real 30 hours ago Yuna Lee and I were prisoners in North Korea Boxing is full of shit, man. I don't know what you think but i think American Secretaries of State ought to be in the places of human misery around the world We hit people in the mouth. This is the foreign service with no agenda presenting the international clip of the week The NBC store is selling Obama merchandise NPR laid off an excess of 60 workers But NPR is also moving to grand new digs in two to three years Please explain how you can afford the new spot

54:31 Spot. You are a great national public treasure, National Public Radio. Yeah! Sponsorship underwriting advertising call it whatever you want It's always about hitting the other guy in the mouth isn't it? That is always going to be a problem Am I blushing? Droop went from California to Washington DC on algae. Applications are architected with skip logic to video and much more human ways of interacting with these applications rather than binary or cobalt ways of interacting with those applications. Shut up, grandpa! Why should I take you, with all due respect your expertise over McChrystal's expertise? I mean come on... With Ragu you can give your kids veggies they'll actually eat Generally speaking we get the joke You want to educate the American people about science and its relevance today do you believe in evolution sir? Um..I..do i believe in evolution

55:24 I embrace the view that God created the heavens and the earth, and the seas, and all that's in them. Right but do you believe in evolution as a way to get it? The means Chris used to do that...I can't say but I do believe in that fundamental truth. Did you take biology in school did you take science which is all based on evolutionary belief and assumption? Do you believe another reason I'm asking this if your party wants to be credible on science, you've got to accept science. Do you? I always wanted to play and inherit the win but on the global warming issue i know that in mainstream media... See how your hedging this is why people don't trust Republicans In the mainstream media Chris there's a denial And he constantly talking about it, there was no global warming

56:11 Every climatologist in the world says there's global warming. Every scientist has said there is a problem We're all on this earth together and this guy goes out and says that there's no global warming who was he? If I can add to that, you know. I think one of the biggest problems we see right now is the fact that so much of what we do online actually requires training Oh my god! I have to sit down Bottom speaking He's a jackass

59:51 Okay, so the question. A new social networking site has become a place for young people to anonymously post gossip nasty and sometimes sexual comments about their peers Let's not simplify it all that much but it is to say look we have a specific credible threat of this This is what you need to do to prepare This is what you need to watch out for And this where you can get additional information Before you jump in I just want to say as someone who's spent a bunch of time researching education, who cares about this? I think that the race-to-the top stuff that you guys have done is one of the most underappreciated and most important things your administration has done. I appreciate that! We have been burglarized twice. Ranchers in the border area cannot leave their houses unguarded for a few hours since their homes are likely to be broken into

1:00:42 if someone is not there. We live with weapons near our bed." No, we spend a lot of time talking to members of Congress it's very very important you know on issues like broadband so important to our economy this area is the sixth of our economy. The money will go to 26 causes that are dear to the hearts at the royal couple Is it innovative crime fighting or has Big Brother gone too far? Investigators say a man followed the woman from a neighborhood store all the way into the gates of her home. Then he ordered to take off her clothes, but he ran away A disturbing story from a couple of years ago is making news now. An Amber Alert in Washington state was delayed for about six hours because the police officer responsible for issuing the alert fell asleep I got a couple tweets saying why is 101 out of San Jose so slow? Well, their answer is we had earlier problems getting into the valley How can this happen in America well... The National Society of Engineers

1:01:44 They've looked around and they give us a D when it comes to infrastructure. So what ends up happening is you may go to your primary care physician, he does some basic tests, he sees something of concern, he refers you to a specialist You go to the specialist He'll do another test! Your getting charged or your insurance company's getting charged for both those tests as opposed to the test that was taken by your primary care physician being emailed to the specialist. Or, better yet if it turns out there may be three or four specialists involved because it's a difficult diagnosis let's say there were bunch of specialists what would be ideal would be is you get all the specialists

1:02:35 together with the primary care physician, the first time you're seen so that you're not paying for multiple visits as well as multiple tests. The challenge with coal is that although it's very cheap its also dirty I don't know if they still have clutch cars around here anybody ever driven a clutch car? You know...I mean you gotta sorta tap and uh..well thats sort of what we've faced in terms of the economy. And interestingly, the Spencer family of Princess Diana will be seated on Kate's family side of the aisle not on the royal family side of the aisle Robin Leach welcome what do you make that?

John McCain, Muslim Identity, and Drone Strikes

John McCain is praised as a hero in contrast to the sitting president. A speaker discusses the social responsibility of identifying as a Muslim in America. The segment also reports on the high death toll of U.S. drone strikes in Pakistan and the environmental impact of hydrofracking.

john mccain· muslim· drone strikes· pakistan· hydrofracking

1:03:23 Who are these people? We don't know exactly who these rebels are. We don't know what they stand for, does this worry you? No it doesn't worry me in the least John McCain is a hero who has stood up for freedom all his life and he's trying to do the job that our runaway fraidy cat president just refuses to do A star proclaims his birth Then let the Hebrews die Slaves of wealth commander The more slaves we have, the more bricks we make. I would still see fewer bricks made and fewer Hebrews in Goshen. It is our eastern gate! Welcome to a world filled with liquid assets

1:04:02 According to polls, only 38% of Americans say they know a Muslim. But that says two things to me A.) That Muslims are still quite a small minority in this country but B.) Most Americans probably don't think I'm a Muslim so they would not tell the pollster that they know me as a Muslim So my responsibility now becomes it's almost like being gay where you try in the first three sentences to put into the conversation that you are a Muslim Where mergers happen daily and bonds are highly valued Here, your options are unlimited. Your rewards assured." As for who the rebels are one they're not even sure themselves yet and specialists are always on call

1:04:44 We live in a culture of insults. I mean, we're constantly bombarded with these images of people who are richer than us and happier than us. We tear them down to feel better about ourselves From successful rallies...to promising futures Get down to the business of pleasure It makes you comfortable with insensitivity Oh my gosh! Wait what's that big white thing coming over there? Imagine a place that inspires the senses indulges the soul. The US and its allies have reportedly begun seeking a country to shelter Muammar Gaddafi should he be forced out, where unique traditions merge with progress and enterprise

1:05:33 A new study estimates US drone strikes killed 957 people in Pakistan last year. Oh, I am full on flat out onto this whole thing and you know what? Yes they're going to lose money that way but already Kate is becoming this global style star and she is spurring the economic climate They need a lot of help more air support. The United States has unique capabilities, we should be restoring that." A congressional probe has found oil and gas corporations involved in the drilling practice of hydrofracking injected hundreds of millions gallons of dangerous chemicals into wells in more than a dozen states from 2005 to 2009 Also on the Health Watch for the first time in nearly three decades

But you raised this saying the President should release it as a question No no you raised this Excuse me I did not raise this You raised this I didn't call a press conference in Palm Beach earlier this week Excuse me I haven't been on all these television shows And every time I sit down with the press All they want to talk about is the birth certificate and I got him to do something that nobody else could get him to do and I've been given great credit for that And you raised this issue of his credibility That if he has it He should release it Absolutely There are some people who question yours In the middle of all this The other night you went on Anderson Cooper And you said your investigators told you It was mis-sent

1:06:59 Ben Bernanke was talking about today and you didn't even cover it. Andy, blaming the victim here! The notion that somehow Barack Obama could put this all behind him let's watch let's see if this puts a line already PT Trump is out there you know trying to talk now way maybe the president didn't legitimately deserve to go to college oh please You're watching Central Coast ABC Hey, El Mario Lopez! Kate Middleton's wedding nightmare about to come true. I can assure you Bill that we are delighted to be here to watch you hang... Well not exactly

1:07:53 Entertainment tonight at the Royal rehearsal with night vision cameras. The carriages, the cavalry, the clip-clop of hundreds of horses And you compare that to what's going on in places like China where they plan to construct from 45-55 new airports over the next five years. To the best of my knowledge, there aren't plans to build any new airports in the United States during that time period. Where does it go? For the military side of the universe, the so called dot mill, that the Department of Defense would have the lead

1:08:32 But for the civilian side of the government and for the intersection with the private sector, that the Department of Homeland Security would have the lead. We can have it debate. Donald Trump is not credible. Pre-Alzheimer's condition called mild cognitive impairment or MCI The guidelines spell out three stages of Alzheimer's First come changes in the brain with no symptoms No one knows how many people are affected MCI is the second stage where people lose some memory but can still function. The third stage is full-blown Alzheimer's with major memory loss which afflicts 5.4 million. So that part of the brain is not working very well? Why do I feel lost?

1:09:17 Should I change careers? Well, American drone attacks in Pakistan actually started under the watch of George W. Bush but have increased markedly in their frequency since President Obama took office You mention actors and the roles they are taking And a lot of those actors are speaking out and saying No more doing this Allahu Akbar! I'm gonna blow your rolls no more you know Here's me and here is my depression It isn't Stanford's interest and it isn't this country's interest to put the best into the military To have them not only educated but also trained here France says it wants a mechanism to suspend visa-free travel around the European Union after an influx of thousands of migrants fleeing the upheaval in Libya and Tunisia. A French official said there should be a means to put the Schengen Accord into abeyance when there's a systemic failure at an external EU border. Ashton naked again?

Amanda Knox, Haunted Demon's Forge, and Police Dog Shooting

A clip about Amanda Knox's MySpace page is followed by a video game demo for "Haunted: The Demon's Forge." The segment concludes with a tragic report from Columbia, Missouri, where a SWAT team killed a family dog during a marijuana raid that yielded only a small amount of the drug.

1:12:46 Um, Anderson Cooper. The other gay Cooper in television news. The caller inside the lines...the suspect is Roberto D'Stasio. Odds are I'm favored to be Italy's next Prime Minister On her MySpace page Amanda Knox called herself Foxy Knoxie and bragged about having multiple sex partners This picture taken at a military museum became ammunition against her No we took your memories Is Caroline in there? Yes and no. This is one of my memories, of you. This is the last time I saw you this is what you did to me not just to my arm To me...I want you to feel this There's something worse than pain Sharing it's what kids do Madam President uh.. I don't know how much time I have left The senator has 16 seconds left I don't know if he probably can stay a little bit

1:14:08 Senator Minnesota anxiously sitting over in the corner. If we don't act, medical bills will wipe out their savings if we don't act she'll be denied coverage because of a pre-existing condition Do you fully support the Obama agenda? Who are you? Who are you? Whoa! I'm here for a project. Demo who you are. They're varied, from classic dungeons... We try to present ourselves as dungeon crawlers. There's lots of dungeons but outdoor areas like you're seeing in this demo and wilderness areas and towns as well. I'll show the engine can render them beautifully including you guys taking advantage of it The game looks incredible. Very excited! Haunted the Demon's Forge when do we get to play it? When do I get it? When do I convince my friends to buy it?!

1:14:52 I want to tell them that i didn't do anything and that i feel bad and through all of this, i think that i was meant to bring truth to the situation. Truth too. All people who lost their belongings you probably feel so violated. I woke up this morning with a headache, the worst I ever had. Do you agree with the president's policies in the Middle East? Should we still be in Iraq? Should we still be in Afghanistan as our presence there made us any safer or enhanced our freedoms here at home?

1:15:48 Well, we're told we're getting out of Iraq and I think the right direction is to get out of Iraq. Yeah you know so you can make that case uh ii think the problem with reality shows is that they cheapen the culture. This is ruining my life! It's a temporary situation No! You need to stop this. Are you kidding me? I was like my biggest dream. Honey, look. They're excited. The police are about to break into a house in Columbia Missouri they believe there's a large supply of marijuana here inside the couple is putting their seven-year old son to bed. They kill one of the family dogs

1:16:41 injure the other. They didn't find that large supply of marijuana, they just found a little so they leveraged a $300 fine and charged the father with child endangerment. They never apologized for killing the family dog They wouldn't even say sorry. Every indicator to me shows that this was a justifiable shooting. Does Rolling Stone magazine usually get this kind of access? A lot of people wondering how you got such remarkable access to the general and his staff It was crazy, this guy had that much access I mean it wasn't as if you had spent months with them gaining their trust This incredible wall-to-wall access You were almost brought into the inner circle What on earth was he thinking giving an interview

CHAPTER 27 / 38 Discussion

Cultural Totalitarianism, Botox Feedback, and Snooki's Hospitalization

A speaker argues that the West is experiencing "cultural totalitarianism" where subjective opinion replaces objective truth. This is followed by more discussion on Botox's effect on the brain and a gossip segment about Snooki from Jersey Shore having her stomach pumped.

totalitarianism· botox· in-n-out· snooki· jersey shore

1:17:34 Objective truth has been replaced by subjective opinion and emotion across the board. There has been a receptiveness to intellectual and moral inversion, and a credulity to propaganda i.e lies. No dissent is allowed those who defend reality against ideology are demonized those who defend religion are consigned to outer darkness as imbeciles or insane people who take these views are called right-wing, extra right wing ultra right wing bigots phobes of every kind and the more they uphold reality and truth and common sense against their opposites the more right wing they become. It is an astonishing fact

1:18:17 If religious totalitarianism was ruled by the church and political totalitarianism was ruled by the general will through both fascism and communism, I would suggest this is cultural totalitarianism or rule by the doctrine...the sacred doctrine of the subjective individual. Gerber suspects someone in security was in on the plot And he's suing Pellendaba. How long did it take security to arrive after that telephone call? I understand it took a couple of minutes for them to arrive A couple of minutes, two minutes? Yeah...I haven't got an exact figure There is a lawsuit in this case you may be aware of thats been filed That suggested it was 24 minutes before the security arrived after that telephone call

1:19:04 I'm aware of that allegation. We'll respond to it when we need to in court Well, you've done an investigation You're in charge of the plant did it take 24 minutes for them to get there? It took...in our calculation somewhat less than that You initially said two minutes now were talking twenty four minutes I said a couple of minutes but uh..I understand from our analysis of the phone records that it took less then that There's a gap here between 2 and 24. Can you help me narrow that gap? I didn't come prepared with that figure, Scott. Alright well do you use Botox if you do listen up psychologists say that using Botox may actually get in the way of experiencing emotions as well as showing them researchers at Barnard found facial expressions may influence the way the feelings behind them develop

1:19:56 Now the study compares it to a feedback loop. And since Botox injections paralyze the muscles, they don't send the same messages to your brain. It's kind of paralyzing your head! That could change the experience of something like watching a sad movie. Sal and Monterey asked us what is the update on In-N-Out Burger coming to Seaside? Well, Sal here's your answer. According to the city of Seaside they have an exclusive negotiating agreement with In-N-Out to build a fast food restaurant near the Holiday Inn Express on Del Monte Boulevard You're our free man Thanks a lot If you've never had to arrange for bail bond before it could seem pretty scary not to mention expensive I had no idea what to do

1:20:42 Well tell us the latest with the Jersey kids. What are they up to? Oh my gosh, so I have the biggest scoop about Jersey Shore oh My gosh this summer while they were down in Miami filming a second season Snooki oh my gosh had so much to drink. Oh my gosh She got taken at the hospital and had her stomach pumped. Oh my gosh for alcohol poisoning. Oh, oh my gosh I don't want to know what comes out of Snooki's stomach. It's just like pickle jars and just like... And all the hostess fruit pie wrapper from the third grade. Exactly! Like, I could go there but I aint gonna go there because you know what i'm thinking Who says all birth control pills have to be the same? Birth control pills don't have to mean 12 periods a year

Richard Holbrooke's Legacy, Bradley Manning, and Mexican Weapons

A critical look at the late Richard Holbrooke's role in East Timor and Korea contrasts with mainstream media tributes. The segment also covers the Berkeley City Council's debate over Bradley Manning and the destruction of 90,000 seized weapons in Mexico.

1:21:31 When you're on a birth control pill, there's no medical need to have a monthly period. I want to tell you, I'm governor. The 39 mile an hour high speed passenger train is dead While tributes have been pouring in for Richard Holbrooke little attention has been paid to his role in implementing and backing US policies that killed thousands of civilians as Assistant Secretary of State in the Carter administration Holbrooke oversaw weapon shipments to the Indonesian military as it killed a third of East Timor's population. In 1980, he played a key role in the Carter administration support for South Korean military crackdown on the pro-democracy uprising in the city of Gwangju that killed hundreds of people. Details of Holbrook's role in East Timor and Korea have been entirely ignored by corporate media since his death—hardly covered before, as well. Richard Holbrook was also a prominent Democratic backer of the Bush administration's decision to attack Iraq in 2003.

1:22:29 keeping him locked up until Thursday. They want him extradited so they can question him about allegations of unlawful sex practices with WikiLeaks volunteers But to see her face reminds me of Emanuel Goldstein The Berkeley City Council has tabled a vote on whether to call a soldier accused of revealing classified information, a hero. The council took public comment on the symbolic resolution tonight. Private Bradley Manning is accused of giving WikiLeaks a quarter million secret U.S. embassy cables. The US government says he is a traitor and put American lives at risk

1:23:08 A member of the city's Volunteer Peace and Justice Commission wrote the resolution. Whistleblowers need to be respected and protected Nevertheless, he is a traitor And he went against his... whatever he signed to join the military So she is saying if you see something say something Tell us whatever you see You know who will come next? They will make it a crime If we see something and don't say something! Then we are East Germany and North Korea At a military base in Mexico City, soldiers use torches and hammers to destroy some of the 90 thousand weapons the Mexican government says it has seized in the last four years. Most from the vicious war with drug cartels. Now here's the next strange thing...

CHAPTER 29 / 38 Discussion

Melanie Phillips on Judaism, Dawkins, and Islamism

Author Melanie Phillips argues that secular ideologies, the Green movement, and Richard Dawkins' "The God Delusion" all target the foundations of Judaism. she claims the West's abandonment of objective truth makes it unable to confront the theological drivers of Islamism.

melanie phillips· judaism· richard dawkins· islamism· moral relativism

1:23:58 All these secular ideologies that I've been talking about, as well as Islam have at heart a real hatred of Jewish peoplehood or Jewish religion. And this may sound rather strange because these are all very disparate ideologies. But let me suggest these things to you, for example take moral relativism the idea there is no moral authority we can all do our own thing it's a lifestyle choice well it's Judaism that laid down the moral law which forms the very foundation of Western morality and that moral law is what he's under attack from moral and cultural relativism multiculturalism and all of that

1:24:39 Take the Green Movement, take environmentalism. It is actually Genesis that draws their deepest wrath because they interpret the biblical dominion of mankind over the earth as an example of divine imperialism or colonialism If you look at Richard Dawkins, his great bestseller The God Delusion. It is the god of the Hebrew Bible singled out in his great diatribe against religion in general it is the god of the Hebrew Bible who he singles out as the fountainhead of violence brutality intolerance and bigotry in the world

1:25:17 In the Dawkins environment it would appear in the Dawkins a utopia. If the God of the Hebrew Bible was got rid off then the brotherhood of man and the reign, the age of perfect reason would have no impediment whatsoever. Applications are architected with skip logic to video and much more human ways of interacting with these applications rather than binary or cobalt ways of interacting with those applications. And it is Jews who are the principal attacks, target of the attacks by anti-Americans and anti-imperialists on the neoconservatives, the euphemism for those who were alleged to have formed the conspiracy, the global conspiracy to subvert American foreign policy in the interests of Israel?

1:26:01 And it's that issue of Israel which is now the greatest symbol of all, of Western irrationality particularly in Britain where there is a sustained and relentless campaign of lies and libels about Israel. And openly expressed irrational Jewish conspiracy theories and demonization of those who object So the result of all this is that the West cannot deal with Islamism, which itself is driven by a theologically inspired desire to eradicate the Jews and which turns truth and lies victim and victimizer inside out because the West itself has dispensed with the idea of objective truth. The West itself inverts in all these other ideologies, inverts truth and lies, victim and victimizer and so on

1:26:48 Now, these ideologies all play in different countries differently. Britain is I would suggest the global leader in this. Britain was first into the Enlightenment and it's now the first out. These ideas have traction across the whole of the West and even in God's own country America. For example, I'm afraid to bring it home to you that America's exports in recent years have included Al Gore whose mendacious film about global warming is even now on the curriculum in British schools and taught as fact.

CHAPTER 30 / 38 Discussion

Naked Mailman, Mark Zuckerberg, and Al Qaeda USA

A bizarre report of a naked mailman in Wisconsin is followed by a joke about Mark Zuckerberg dating Ellen. The segment then debates the effectiveness of Bush-era tax cuts and cites General Petraeus regarding the existence of Al Qaeda networks within the United States.

wisconsin· mark zuckerberg· tax cuts· al qaeda· general petraeus

1:27:32 It is America which has produced the unlovely duo of Mearsheimer and Walt who have created this, given an academically respectable imprimatur to Jewish conspiracy theory of the most odious and irrational kind. And it's the attacks through Chomsky, Naomi Klein, MoveOn.org on anti-imperialism, anti-Americanism and so on all in America. I don't know what happens but you get one of these stories almost like once a week now, story like this In Wisconsin there's a mailman delivering his mail going door to door it's winter time the mailman United States mailmen door-to-door delivering mail he is naked He is naked! I mean we've all heard of junk mail but this is stupid

1:28:40 Ellen's new man. She's getting over Tiger with a hot new romance, so who is he? Mark Zuckerberg! Sorry Julian Assange I guess you didn't violate enough people's privacy One look can turn the everyday into romantic An accidental touch can turn ordinary into something more. So that alone, I think is evidence of the viability of the Al Qaeda message and their resonance that it continues to have throughout the world You know but these things are going to be permanent The Republicans would like these tax cuts to be permanent Let me ask you something about this, Ceci Just as a person in the world

1:29:18 These tax cuts did not work under the Bush administration. I've heard this argument... Wait, wait let me just finish my thought. More jobs did not come down the pike The economy did not get better The deficit increased Why do Republicans and apparently some Democrats think that this will work? Yeah you're right but I don't know that anyone's made a compelling case that there is cause and effect between the two. That the Bush tax cuts was either responsible or can be held to blame for the economic downturn, or they should have done something more for the economic downturn. I get that but the bottom line is in this kind of economy you do not raise taxes on anyone especially on the top income earners who do the hiring. Well thats the Republican position but again it didn't work

1:30:06 And then even more astonishingly, one has to say that Al-Qaeda has put into place a very small, miniscule perhaps but nonetheless viable means of recruiting and radicalizing individuals. American citizens and American residents in this country. Now it's rather bold I have to say to put up there on the on the slide, Al Qaeda in the USA as one of these networks. But I feel on fairly solid ground because when General Petraeus was in Washington last April and gave a public address at the Woodrow Wilson Center he has his own slide that he calls it a star slide that has the al-Qaeda networks throughout the world and General Petraeus had AQUSA on it so if General Petraeus says it I have to say I feel on very firm grounds

Agree, agree, agree, agree That some terrorist somewhere in the world will use a weapon of mass destruction If anything, the odds that we gave a year ago which was more likely than not have probably gone up. Agree, agree, agree, agree Well you would have to fight people at the well

1:33:22 in order to quell the stampede. There's been a lot of talk about our seasoned beef, but here is the truth Here is the real deal Our seasoned beef is 88% premium ground beef and 12% signature recipe We are educated youths. There are a number of college students among us The government has stolen our dreams we are young men without dreams And I was banging seven gram rocks and finishing them because that's how i roll, I have one speed, I have one gear go!
