About this episode

Newt Gingrich secured a decisive victory in the South Carolina primary, a result analyzed as a scripted media narrative designed to extend the GOP primary race. The victory followed a calculated confrontation with John King over debate questions regarding Gingrich's personal life, which the hosts interpret as a move to secure voter sympathy. This political theater directly benefits major media networks like Fox News and MSNBC, who profit from the massive advertising expenditures fueled by Super PACs.

Federal authorities shuttered Megaupload.com and indicted Kim Dotcom in a coordinated operation that coincided with the SOPA and PIPA legislative debates. Former Senator Chris Dodd, now leading the MPAA, issued public threats to politicians who withdrew support for the anti-piracy bills, highlighting the transactional nature of Hollywood campaign contributions. Meanwhile, the United Kingdom introduced internet filtering mandates under the guise of blocking adult content, a move viewed as a precursor to broader political censorship and the establishment of national firewalls.

Adam Curry reports from the Dutch province of Bonaire, where property taxes have tripled following a government expansion that now employs 600 people for a population of 15,000. In the United States, the death of Penn State coach Joe Paterno at age 85 sparked questions regarding the timing of his health decline amidst the Jerry Sandusky scandal. Additionally, Irish journalist Vincent Brown confronted the European Central Bank over the multi-billion dollar burden placed on taxpayers to bail out unguaranteed bondholders.

Bonaire Infrastructure, Dutch Government Expansion, Cruise Ship Petty Theft

Adam Curry reports from Bonaire, noting significant changes since the Dutch government designated the island as a province in January 2011. The local government workforce has expanded to 600 employees for 15,000 inhabitants, while property taxes have tripled. Despite a 28-million-euro EU grant for sewer and fiber infrastructure, residents remain unconnected due to high individual hookup costs and a lack of an external internet service provider. Local frustration is rising over cruise ship passengers who allegedly shoplift souvenirs without spending money at local businesses.

00:00 As everyone knows on these Live shows I have to, I can't hit record and I can't do transferring and editing so they get the little pre stream that goes with it Okay. I think we've tried Hello? Yeah, yeah. Yeah another little piece of paper Alright, hit it. Adam Curry, John C. DeVore It's Sunday January 22nd 2012 time for your Gidwet Nation Media Assassination episode 376 This is no agenda Tracking the elites even when on vacation here in the divers paradise of Bonaire The Netherlands Antilles just 60 clicks north of Hugo Chavez presidential studios In the morning everybody I'm the original prepper known as Adam Curry

00:56 And from Northern Silicon Valley where I can hear every other word there, from the old Bon Air. I'm John C. DeVore. It's Crackpot and Buzzkill! You don't need more than any of- every other word that's enough that's fine well you're right about that Did you tweet? did you let everyone know we were on air? That we are live? That we are doing something here No, would you please do that? That's kind of I do that as we go along the kind of critical in the morning John from The tropical island known as bonair. It's raining here. Yeah, it's gonna rain here later too. It's been

01:35 Sorry? So in the morning to you and in the morning all ships at sea which may be running into your island, boots on the ground which maybe invading your island and feet in the air. Actually the ships and the boot go hand-in-hand as military cruisers patrolling the island here for those of you who don't know where this is we were here actually was August 2010 last time we're in Bonaire Miss Mickey and I had a nice invitation from Lex Luthor and the Iranian princess to come and visit, stay here. These houses are all wide open so I'm actually out in the open. They're having lunch they don't care about the show you can hear them in the background but also here I am actually looking out over

02:22 Over the water here you can hear the birds there's some parrots who might perk up in a minute But most importantly the wind is blowing quite heavily and we'll probably see some rain before the end of the show but anyway Nice to see everyone in the chat room. They're no agenda stream calm Noah Jenna chat net Thank y'all very much for showing up showing your love Are you doing your taxes? I'm typing up your Twitter thing you want me to do okay, and Yeah, so it's actually interesting. We were here about a year and half ago. Has the place changed? Yes! The place has changed.

03:04 2011, January 1st 2011 the Dutch government basically turned this place into a province or something. And so now in an island of 15000 inhabitants they have 600 government workers now living here. Hello? I lost what you said. I heard it was Dutch inhabitants and there was nothing No, I said in an island of 15,000 inhabitants they have 600 government workers now here all flowing in from the Netherlands and all running the show And it's running great

03:43 Except for the web connection. Well, here's the thing so first of all taxes have tripled in property they now have new property taxes so everyone is paying three times as much in property taxes but they've dug up the entire island to connect fiber and a sewer system which is now being put in but will never be connected What? Yeah. So here's how it works, well because the government... Now check this out The European Union gave the island of Bonaire 28 million euros to upgrade their infrastructure so some contractor you know got the contract and he is putting in sewer pipes and he is putting in the fiber but if anyone wants to connect to the sewer system or the fiber they have to pay for that themselves Huh

04:40 So has anyone paid for it? No, of course not. No one's gonna do that They use their septic tanks You know they poop in the ocean and why would anyone pay for a fiber connection when you've got this great connection already Well I think if i was there right hooked to that fiber be I'd be all me But you also have to connect it somewhere else. See the fiber is just in the ground here, it's not connected to anything outside of the island. Oh there's no head end? No! There's no internet service provider. Just fiber... Yeah exactly! It takes a lot more than just dropping

05:18 Fiber and the dirt and thinking that's gonna do something. It's not magic well Yeah, that's the whole point but yeah But luckily there's 600 government workers here to oversee the festivities and all as well, but that's not the real issue There's two problems that have really cropped up here one is they now have cruise ships docking every single day which really of course ruins everything because These cream I'm on the inside track here all everyone hates it because the people who come off the cruise ship are All they do is they just come on land, you know. They don't eat anything in the restaurants because they get the free food on the ship and they don't buy anything! They go into shops and steal stuff! Ah... Yeah! What did they steal? You know souvenirs! They're like doing flash mobs! Like hey this is a very nice shop but then they don't buy anything. They just steal stuff. They slip it into their pocket and get onto the ship and they are gone

06:16 But the real issue. So you're saying that the people who take these cruise ships are all a bunch of petty thieves? Yes, A-holes! Total douchebags! But the worst thing is we have not seen Hugo Chavez's home brewed beer polar beer in about four weeks shipments have stopped so now there is a real panic This is fascinating So really, but it's I'm just trying to say the same thing. Yeah, I'm just hoping you have something some good anecdote well Let me this isn't a side. I want to I wanted I said this sick Situation on Twitter. I just put the Twitter thing up so he should have at least two more people listening Okay, so I go there's you know it says similar too and it recommends that you go

CHAPTER 02 / 30 Discussion

Joe Paterno Death, Sandusky Scandal, Soupy Sales Twitter

The death of Penn State coach Joe Paterno at age 85 is discussed following his recent lung cancer diagnosis and the Jerry Sandusky scandal. Speculation arises regarding the timing of Paterno's health decline and death relative to the ongoing investigation into the Second Mile foundation. The segment also touches on the phenomenon of "dead zone" social media accounts, specifically referencing the posthumous activity on comedian Soupy Sales' Twitter profile.

joe paterno· penn state· jerry sandusky· soupy sales· twitter· lung cancer

07:10 You follow somebody yeah, yeah follows good. So it says soupy sales He's dead that's what I said to myself so I click on it and it's all his tweets up to his death Cool last week 16 March o9 he died in October And so you read this is kind of like a sick. It's like a Apparently he was on Twitter and he was making wise remarks up to the end. about, you know some of his different friends and slamming people left and right. Lots of stuff about Meredith McCray I guess he had a crush on her. And then he drops dead but why? You know...I wonder how much, you know kind of Dead Zone stuff is going to be on Twitter over time. Is there Joe Paterno's tweets on here too forever? He died this morning. Yeah let's hear the clip There is statue of the famed coach outside Penn State's Beaver Stadium To say that Paterno was a beloved figure in state college

08:09 is an understatement. Paterno's program always had a squeaky clean image, avoiding any major scandals that involved other schools but Penn State was thrown into turmoil following the charges levied against Sandusky in November of 2011 upon his firing students rallied outside of Paterno's home The long time Penn State coach injured his pelvis and right shoulder in August of 2011 after getting blindsided accidentally by a receiver during preseason practice. Just weeks before he turned 85, it was announced Paterno was being treated for lung cancer He would also break his pelvis again in the fall at home So very interesting when I heard the summary of what has happened to this guy ever since this scandal came out

08:54 This is all revolving around the PedoBear Foundation 2-mile run by Sandusky. And it seems pretty clear to me, John that the guy got a couple warnings you know like the mob usually does break your pelvis throw you down the stairs oh sorry the defensive lineman ran into you and then now he's dead! You'll probably be invited to follow him on Twitter but dead men can't talk that's for sure Yeah I know Well, Soupy's sales did have a couple of last one-liners in here. I might as well read him his last tweets. I don't care about that! Happy 2009 kids! Uncle Soup is kicking around for another year which is six more than I can say for that prick buddy Hackett. Alright... But uh... Oh man bad! I'm thinking the..I'm seriously thinking this was a very clear

09:45 to the head. Yeah, I know you would think that and i'm not gonna argue it that it wasn't uh... he was just yeah well he never did speak up he just said hey I did what I did Didn't see that he was gonna speak up I mean you're making the assumption that He was close to talking and spilling the beans on this whole scam whatever it wasn't really making that assumption But let's say that there would be an investigation You know then so usually why I take a chance at the end of the movie. Yeah, what movie was it casino? yeah, but they go around and ask them officer or they should kill their best friend who is the lawyer

10:23 And there was a guy's a good guys. A good guy is a good guy Everyone says that the guide to very and says why you take why I take this? Yeah, exactly so they shoot him and I'm also in the mindset because There was more of that Ulsterman with The White House insider that came out which I think we should talk about that little bit later But oh my god, I mean, I'm so I have to say If this is disinfo, it's really good. But I am completely sucked into the conspiracy of the Obama administration not thinking twice about killing somebody

CHAPTER 03 / 30 Discussion

Newt Gingrich South Carolina Primary Victory, Media Scripting

Newt Gingrich's victory in the South Carolina primary is analyzed as a scripted media event designed to prolong the GOP primary race. The hosts suggest that Gingrich's aggressive response to John King's debate question about his ex-wife was a calculated move to gain voter sympathy. Media figures like Aaron Burnett are criticized for their analysis of Gingrich's "passion," which the hosts interpret as part of a broader reality-show narrative.

newt gingrich· south carolina primary· mitt romney· john king· cnn· gop primary

11:04 I missed the beginning of that. What was this again? What conspiracy are we talking about? We're talking about the White House insider, the Ulsterman report Oh right you're back on that okay Yeah so i want to talk about that later because i did a lot of research It's been really difficult when we left Friday evening at midnight flight and so you arrive in Bonaire at 6 30 in the morning And the airport, by the way you walk off the plane everything's outside it's completely open and then you still have to wait two hours to get your fricking bags because 2 continental flights arrived at the same time one from Houston one from Newark. The same guys who offloaded the bags have to unload the bags and do the check-in to get the passengers out again so its horrible! It was very hard to get any research done and everything is very slow

11:57 So, but I did follow up on a lot of that so we got some stuff to talk about. And of course... I was not able to see the riveting coverage of the GOP X-Factor But it looks like Newt Gingrich pulled it off! well he had to do i mean it was part of the original script yeah that uh... if you remember when this whole thing being and we outline a script and have some thoughts on this by the way uh... we outlined the script which was that uh... romney was going to be in final choice but he can't at united he was going to win new hampshire but then perry was gonna come in and he was gonna win south carolina everybody talked about that before any of these elections

12:42 You know, Iowa was up for grabs. And so it's worked out perfectly and then Perry comes along and steps in... He just basically is essentially a loser he can't be a candidate. They had to quit so they still needed somebody to follow the script and win South Carolina besides Romney because then it looked like it would be fixed if Romney won So, Gingrich was the perfect guy for that. Do you think in following along with my theory that Gingrich at least initially was financed by the Clintons? That maybe the Clintons helped do this or do you think it... I mean it was clearly the news media as I was leaving It was all about Gingrich and Gingrich and of course he completely did an awesome job which I also believe was scripted

13:27 uh... with the with john king opening up the uh... the latest uh... elimination round on the on the reality show with hammering him about is that his ex-wife in open relationship and he just blasted the media and everyone loves them for that right and there was no reason for that to be the first question less it was a re for that exact purpose it was all acting here's their music He was flabbergasted. He was like, what's the word? Appalled by the question. Why would you start a debate like this sir?! Yo! I detest you! This is so wrong and everyone loved that. Erin Burnett on some inside analysis she said of course she's a counsel on foreign relations shill

14:20 She says something very interesting. And I know I have skeletons in my closet and I want someone who's going to fight and be strong. And now new all the way that sort of force and passion. So what Aaron Burnett is saying is that when Newt says red is blue, people not only believe him but women love him? Yeah, I'm not sure what the narrative there is with that's all about. Well, I can tell you this

CHAPTER 04 / 30 Discussion

Clear Channel, Bain Capital, Super PAC Media Revenue

The financial motivations behind the extended GOP primary are explored, focusing on the relationship between Clear Channel, Bain Capital, and major media networks. Rush Limbaugh's $400 million contract is linked to Bain Capital, which also has ties to Mitt Romney. The hosts argue that media outlets like MSNBC and Fox News encourage the flow of Super PAC money because they benefit directly from the massive advertising expenditures required for a contested primary.

clear channel· bain capital· rush limbaugh· super pacs· rachel maddow· media revenue

15:03 The one thing that's come out of this is that this whole thing is rigged for one reason and one reason only. And I have a bunch of clips to kind of... take us down this road. This whole thing is scripted and the whole idea came to me from Reverend Manning, who had... I don't have his clip unfortunately but i've been looking at some of these it's a long story why don't have it but i'll just tell you in a nutshell what he said and as soon as he said that I said yeah makes nothing but sense because one of the guys behind the script is Rush Limbaugh who was making four hundred million dollars from Clear Channel

15:40 uh... which is owned by being capital yes correct so we have a essentially rush limbaugh working for permit romney because there's still connection between being capital ronnie which is typical of all these these venture firms any those types of firms they have once you're member of the club here always remember it just like someone's like the cia yeah this is very mobby like and so the idea is that, I did some digging to find out when and the rules are relaxed over uh... at a deep radio being owned by one company that was during clinton's administration so there is a clinton connection here and you start looking at the people behind clear channel what they're involved with including this group called the robin hood foundation the robin hood foundation has got people on the board including they had of their channel jeffrey in molt now i don't know how to get your old from folks if

16:41 uh... good when it's paltrow harvey weinstein all democrats are how convenient so and so he had to be a little further you find that clear channels done a deal with fox or other talk show was argues on the fox affiliate around the country in the radio fox radio network And they also did a deal, Bain Capital did a deal with MSNBC. So they're all in bed together and the goal here because it's all media media media and if you start looking at the clips you start seeing some of this. The goal here is to keep this ball flying around as much as you can so that you can kick ass and take as much money from the super PACS and everybody else because you have to advertise advertise advertise

17:26 And if all of a sudden it's done deal and you don't have to advertise anymore, then the media companies don't get this huge payoff. So what you'd run into, in fact I've got a number of clips here. I'm just going to play a few of them randomly and every one of these guys on MSNBC and on Fox and the MSNBC ones are more interesting if you play Rachel Maddow on Money You'll find that she not only talks about how you need more money they need more money She actually encourages even though she's condemning it but by condemning it She encourages super PAC money coming in so can go back This is, eventually she gets paid out of this.

18:27 his eccentric billionaire or some other eccentric billionaire who wants to come on and support him can donate a multi-million dollar chunk of change to his super PAC as happened. Wait a minute, did she just congratulate the advertiser? Did she just say happy birthday today like saying happy birthday to August Bush the fourth one of our big Budweiser sponsors here everybody how you doing what a douche So she's essentially, oh she's all against super PACs but if you read between the lines she is encouraging the guys with all of this money to get more money. I was going to say that I had it in show notes on the last episode Rachel Manno is the number one guest at The White House She has visited The White House more than any other journalist

CHAPTER 05 / 30 Discussion

Media Marginalization of Ron Paul, Proportional Delegate Voting

Ron Paul's treatment by the mainstream media is highlighted, specifically his exclusion from debate framing and post-debate analysis. Despite increasing his polling ceiling to over 20%, Paul remains marginalized by networks focused on the Romney-Gingrich rivalry. The discussion explains the proportional delegate system and how the media anticipates a "half-billion dollar" advertising dump leading up to Super Tuesday.

ron paul· fox news· neil cavuto· media bias· delegates· super tuesday

19:14 Oh, interesting. That means something. We've discussed some elements of that. Now here's Michael Powell, the head of the... or the former RNC Republican National Committee chairman on money I think it starts with the money. Conservatives around the country will take a look at this race tonight and they will respond on Sunday morning with going to his website and writing a check, and i think that's what Newt is counting on in coming out of here strong with a four or five point edge over Romney I love this, John. You're nailing them now! Now we go over to Fox. That was all MSNBC encouraging the money but you go over to Fox and they are a little more blatant about it Here's Brett their anchor talking about the election on the Money Bomb

20:07 on Paul and that's continuing but as you look a lot of people ask there are so few votes in how can you make that call based on the exit poll data and the raw vote totals that are coming in they're projecting that Newt Gingrich is going to win big by the way he just tweeted Thank you, South Carolina. Help me deliver the knockout punch in Florida. Join our money bomb and donate now so you can see that money factoring into Florida already." Yeah and meantime Mitt Romney's campaign at his senior age of 40... This is great! These are awesome codes I'm waiting for someone on Fox to go show me the money bitches That's great. I love it, perfect! So they keep going on and on... I only have one more of the Ed Schwartz who really toned it down a lot because they finally got him under control so he is delivering the right message and Ed Schwartz back on MSNBC pretty much with the same message you guys out there this was just a big fight these guys if you want your man you better give him money

21:08 I mean, and so earlier today you heard Mr. Palenty on this network talk about its infrastructure is the long haul and that's what Mitt Romney has been counting on all along So if he's going to raise money he'll have to do it fast Yeah! That's right get that money to us quick advertise go go go super PACs GO! Wow... but put ran rush limbaugh's the one who many went after saying he's just a stooge for twitter channel because who else would get four hundred million this is not a mighty scam or money in the bank then romney does that and he has got his remark arching orders and it was and it was rushed limbaugh first triggered the let's

21:48 get perry in there he's the one who was setting up the scenarios and he was a against romney but now is really pro-romney and he is the same guy if you remember that this is a gas was to be this big conservative in his all your some conservatives has private jet but it is a conservative and he's the guy who put them tinfoil hats on are on uh... ron paul's pictures when he talked ever talks about ron paul is well site right at ten five ron paul the only guy who said she is probably the only genuine one person in a home race and he's honest nobody else seems to be in this whole thing is corrupt ron paul luckily has not

22:27 following the works up because he's been marginalized to such extent. In fact, I was watching a local news show where they showed the debate and they had framed the picture of the debaters to cut Ron Paul out of it on the far right that's why they put him on the edge because then you could frame it with John King and three guys and Paul out which is like kind of the message Now the people... go on.

23:05 Weren't we reading in Advertising Age about two years ago how they were predicting a bonanza this year for advertising and all the media networks were all excited about it? The trade press has been talking about this for quite awhile. How come we're not getting any donations from Super PACS?! well we just over is for them to give us any money because we were never one thing or being honest about the situation trying to tell these people not to donate anything and this is the reason why romney should but you know he's a chosen one in his own as in line to go next to the same way john mccain while apps but you can't do but the media gets screwed

23:41 if that's a done deal right off the bat because you've got at least get this super tuesday writing twenty one states all have no election on the same day and that's where the money gets best with their real dump of you know half-a-billion dollars gets thrown out to me and they just go holiday in input those ads up whatever the as you don't care about what they had say they didn't take the money and then once that that's over within the year it'll be kind of done and then the big national election takes place with the money two billion dollars at all bombing has has to be matched by a billion dollars and so that the media has just got to be drooling over this. And Clear Channel is obviously one of the schemers to keep this thing, so they can milk every penny and dime out of it. So this will be a close election the whole time you watch when two guys start to fight Romney and Obama It's going to be close-close-close because that just encourages more and more about media spending This is the most corrupt thing I've ever seen

CHAPTER 07 / 30 Discussion

Ron Paul Fox News Interview, Media Blackout Tactics

A clip of Ron Paul being interviewed by Neil Cavuto on Fox News demonstrates the candidate's frustration with being ignored by post-debate coverage. Paul notes that despite his strong performance and growing support among independents and Democrats, he received only one mention in a comprehensive review of the debate. The segment ends abruptly as the network cuts to commercial during Paul's critique of the media industry.

ron paul· neil cavuto· fox news· media blackout· polling· independents

26:56 at when all is said and done people start to analyze what actually what we witness especially with the marginalization of paul all by the media i think they do have a clip i got the ron paul on fox where he's with neil can and he started bitch about something or about that media and kudos looking like you can see it on this clip obviously because those look at left and looking right there yelling in his ear any cuts too commercial that's the end around paul for my own is right now congressman good to have you Thank you, Neil. Good to be with you How important is this state for you? Well it's very important but it's not do or die You know we expect to pick up some delegates as we have continued to do so and will continue on It's interesting...it is a proportional vote and along the way by proportional vote even if your second

27:49 Wait a minute, what does that mean? John proportional vote. What does that mean? That means if he gets 10% of the vote he gets ten percent of the delegates Yeah but it's only like we're not even at 1% of all delegates combined yet are we I mean it's nothing No but the point is he picks up votes no matter... He doesn't have to win to get a couple delegates Okay Or third certainly nothing wrong with that you've been very very consistent you can ask what your delegates so whether or not you get the nomination and certainly have a powerful yes of that i know if you'd like to want that nomination but let me ask you about this process and the extremes uh... you've seen the leaders go up-and-down now well i was been recertified to show sent or more on it dot romney south carolina where ronnie was winning he might lose what's going on within your party

28:39 Well, I don't think the message is very clear. I have a very clear message but i'm challenging the status quo of the rest of the candidates are part of the status quo and they seem to be happy I'm sorry, no yeah that's not on the air. You were just hearing me off the air so... Oh okay. Yeah don't worry about it. Because they don't see what difference they're going to make. So their numbers come and go but if you look at ours there was one time not too many months ago they knew we had a significant group of people who were interested in what i was doing and having a precise definition of what government should be doing

29:15 But the ceiling was always 8 or 9 percent. Yeah, he's doing okay but that's a ceiling. But now there is a ceiling shifted to about 17 or 18 percent and now they are conceding it is over 20 percent and if you include independents and democrats uh... percentages are much better you know not too long ago there was a at pole down where i was up against that obama and i was equal to ronnie in that so there's a couple of support for the united way i mean and democrats even remarkable phenomena but i always think your like us sort of a thin rodney dangerfield you don't get any result Does that bug you? Well, I think a lot of people think that. Certainly John Stewart thinks so this whole idea. Somebody told me from this last debate...I thought I did rather well and they went down the number of times they mentioned the other three candidates in the review of the debate and it was like 80-90 times depending on which it was

30:15 i was mentioned one time in all the discussion of the debate after it was over now you might argue i didn't win or some people argue that I did but you had to do this, you had to do this. But I deserve more than one mention on all the stations somebody went and added these all up thankyou tyson for what's going on here you're in this media business get him off shut him off cut the commercial go Oh man. So while that clip was running, I'm sorry the rain just started pouring down and i had people scrambling here trying to move my electrical wires a little bit out of the water's path so... Oh yeah so you don't get killed on the show? You know think about the donations

ReadNoAgenda.com Transcription Project, Searchability Benefits

A new community-driven project, ReadNoAgenda.com, is introduced to provide transcriptions of the podcast. The initiative aims to improve accessibility for the deaf and hard-of-hearing community and enhance the show's searchability on Google. The hosts express support for the project as a way to deep-link into specific segments and increase the show's overall reach.

35:21 What about the Hot Pockets Cheese Tour? It wasn't a vacation, we didn't go on the Hot Pockets Cheese Tour. You went to Carlsbad Caverns... Are you kidding me?! That was work man! That was real hard work that didn't turn into any vacation but here we are doing the show and of course people are all in the chatroom like hey man John's dropping out every fourth word yeah duh this is what we call crisis situation people but here we are doing the show And let me program your brain. To continue, remember we have a lot of palindromes coming up and we do appreciate that you can also become a special episode producer and all the love that you can give us is not only appreciated but is necessary

36:11 Couple of PR associate mentions today. Hey citizens as ash in the UK citizen And he has registered a domain name for us which is pointing to know agenda show calm The domain name John is the poor will pay dot co dot uk Which I think is nice that of course refers to the situation in Euro land but really all around these gitmo nations when you're thinking about it and A very easy one CitizenSquirrel.com of course that is a combination of... Hey, citizen! So look forward to that point at NoAgendaShow.com and then something really interesting there's a domain name called ReadNoAgenda.com and this is set up by a producer who has developed I think he's developed some software and the software helps you transcribe programming

37:06 And so here's his note. Why support this? Number one, our friends in the Deaf and hard of hearing community can now quote listen to No Agenda Those who learn better by reading than by listening can now learn from No Agenda. Google and other search engines will return more No Agenda search results for current event search terms, long-time listeners can deep link into podcasts without having online discussions allowing potential new listeners to get a taste of the show who otherwise might not be aware of it and increase donations as a side effect increased reach leading to more episodes of The Quality We Have Come To Expect which I think is all

37:43 Very beautiful and have you checked out the site John read no agenda calm. You see what's going on? Look at it right now Yeah, take a look and you'll see that they've already started to transcribe episodes three seven Three I think in three seven four And they've got some software there, which I didn't have time to look at. But apparently... Here's what he is saying on the page. I like it!

38:23 That's a great idea if we can do it. I've always wanted to get these shows transcribed because it does have a lot of benefits, not the least of which is our ability to look up stuff. Yeah searchability is great Besides the red book which is painful to look things up in Everybody else who doesn't want to help transcribe you can always do something very important You know what? It is propagate the formula Our formula is this We go out and hit people in the mouth Order! Say it with me everybody now Shut up, slave

CHAPTER 10 / 30 Discussion

Newt Gingrich Marijuana Death Penalty Proposal, Rick Santorum Taxes

Gary Johnson's comments on MSNBC regarding Newt Gingrich's 1997 proposal for the death penalty for marijuana possession are discussed. The hosts also mock Rick Santorum for his inconsistent statements regarding his tax returns, noting his claim that he couldn't access them while simultaneously mentioning the "unhappy check" he had already written to the IRS.

newt gingrich· marijuana· death penalty· gary johnson· rick santorum· taxes

39:07 uh... the rain is now falling here in uh... bonair that's a rainy year to serve as an individual and then i have time for them as you are less than about the uh... election if you let your network on more of my later not yet but i do have a couple things going i want to put it prediction book which is that newt gets too well i guess he's gone too well they actually get the nomination either scandal will hit him after quit or something else out of the blue will come out and it'll knock him out of the race because he cannot be allowed to get the nomination. It's a done deal I think so, i think this scandal thing that was very cleverly done that was very well scripted they knew exactly what they were doing this was no mistake

39:50 uh... as you pointed out there was no reason to start off the debate with that question his answer was prepared ready to go we fired out any hammered he knew he would get ron paul along for the ride of course a doctor paul also called out that the companies that run the media and i wasn't in the script obviously but he knew who did ron paul to say yes right is bullshit um so i think they may be trying to dig up stiff stuff from the past uh... gary johnson Now, I don't know. Gary Johnson, governor of New Mexico who was also running as a Republican who was not let into the debates because they said he didn't have enough in the average polling or whatever which i think actually was a lie. I think he probably did have enough but they cut him out pretty soon He was on the knucklehead station there MSNBC and he brought something up which I think might

40:41 Might possibly have legs since Ron Paul has an opinion on the topic as well. This is about marijuana One issue with Gingrich, you know in 1997 Yes it is In 1997 he proposed the death penalty for possession of marijuana in excess of two ounces with intent to distribute Is that true? Oh yes from overseas. And when asked about his own marijuana use, this is in 1997. When asked about his own marijuana use he said well when I did it was cool That one could have legs Yeah that's got lots of potential! I had no idea i haven't had time to verify this but uh... doesn't matter I like you! I think they're testing a lot of possibilities and scenarios for us to take him out the race if they have too But they'd much rather keep it tight as long as they can to keep the money rolling in

41:35 Possibly. And then there was some code which came in on, I think it was CNN about Romney now...I don't know if it was intended as code or if it was just an idiot? Well actually I know the answer of course is some idiot analyst and listen to the words that he used. Half their problem is they let Gingrich run loose, but Gingrich picked up a ball bat to defend himself He wasn't even thinking about doing it that they left lying on the table for a year What is that ball bet? Gingrich says look It's how much change do you want in Washington Do you want something big something strong like this Romney hasn't done that he's an incrementalist He's come across as a tweaker Hello Tweaker

42:20 You know what a tweaker is, don't you? Well do you tell me. Oh it's uh... It's a very popular term for people who are meth heads! Oh right right right right And you know what looking at the guy I'm like yeah he may be a tweaker! He could be the way he rambles when they ask him a question and can't answer. He's a total meth head! I'll bring my taxes in by Wednesday but I don't know, maybe by April but everyone else doesn't do it when they do it. They normally do it and the other candidates have done it but... And then Rick Santorum that lying sack of frothy mix he says no my taxes are on my computer so I don't know what it was however he then stumbles later and says oh it was a very unhappy check I had to write So in other words he already did his taxes so he knows exactly what is this He's a liar

43:17 Oh really? You didn't catch that. I missed that! Yeah, yeah he says first it's like on my computer at home so when i get home there is no one there hey ever hear of a go to PC idiot they're like okay I can't get to my pc right now its on my computer but then he says yeah I wrote a very unhappy check so I know was a lot well then you know what it was look if your doing taxes yourself and you and uh... on your computer which I don't know if thats true or not And then you sign, and you send the check. You know exactly what you wound up paying! He's a lie! Speaking of which... This little ditty which is not being discussed The Internal Revenue Service has started a new project to upgrade their website

CHAPTER 11 / 30 Discussion

IRS Website Upgrade, Congressman Mel Watt Intellectual Property

The Internal Revenue Service's $320 million budget to upgrade its website is criticized as excessive, especially since basic functions like electronic filing already exist. The hosts contrast this spending with the $660 million cost of handling 22 million phone calls. Additionally, a clip of Congressman Mel Watt is played to illustrate the lack of technical understanding among members of the Intellectual Property subcommittee.

irs· website budget· mel watt· intellectual property· automated phone systems

44:07 Now, I have to say for the first time I did my taxes. The previous year I went to H&R Block which is quite easy actually and this year I decided to do everything myself. That was fun! I worked close with Mimi, your better half And I was like, oh this is interesting and you know. I had a couple questions and I tried to look it up on the IRS.gov website Have you ever looked at that piece of crap? Have you ever tried to find an answer on that thing? Some years ago I used it a couple times It's horrible! Its actual... its shambles So they've decided they're going to upgrade their website What do you think the budget is? Eight million dollars Oh please guess again

44:54 uh... eighty million dollars please guess one last time $800 million dollars. Okay, now you're just going crazy. $320 million to upgrade the IRS website. A website? That's got to include building a new IRS building! Here it is... The IRS' 320 million dollar investment for its website includes new more secure portals so taxpayers can access more information Like what yeah, I don't know more secure portals. What do you need a secure portal for you? What do you

45:34 I mean the reason, okay one of the things they want to do is they want people to file electronically. So that's important. But you can already do that! That already works! That already works so you don't need them spend money on that. IRS... So what's the other thing? What's a secure for what? Well i'm reading from uh the article here If I wanted a copy and get a form W-9 from the IRS I just download it how secure does that need to be IRS does not have concrete plans to define what additional online services the new website will ultimately provide and how much the services will cost. To their credit, IRS officials have begun developing a roadmap

46:12 I bet they'll have a dashboard with attack vectors. What do you think? Yeah, it'd be something corny Just unbelievable So what they're saying is they receive... people aren't using the website They use The phone system and that they hate that so apparently they answered over 22 million calls for the 2011 tax season at a cost of about $30 a call It cost them six hundred and sixty million dollars they say What? Oh, and they're gonna build an automated phone system as well which is not included in the 320 million. They give more automated skip logic automated phone systems yeah that's great Well as long as the

47:00 oversight committees of congress are clueless about computer technology uh... this is going to continue in fact let's not to change the topic and i really changed it up by doing a play this clip did which isn't exact simplifies this you know they yes so but in tipping were going on top and this is taken from the john stewart show malwatch uh... the one of the congressman makes the following commentary from my perspective just as an old country boy um and you know this is, that's just thats the only way i can understand this complex stuff we need parallels on the virtual in the virtual world to what we have in the real world and I think this bill draws the appropriate balance

47:50 I have no f***ing idea what this is about. You realize this, he said you don't understand the conversation, he said it before! Your only...I wouldn't worry about it, you don't have to think about too much, your only the ranking member of the intellectual property subcommittee. Yeah so let's talk about this for second He's the ranking member and doesn't know anything Okay, so I have some votes these idiots into office time and again. Let me think that would be the public John Yeah, so you know very interesting

CHAPTER 12 / 30 Discussion

Megaupload Takedown, Kim Dotcom Indictment, Anonymous Retaliation

The federal indictment and shutdown of Megaupload.com are analyzed as a coordinated PR event coinciding with SOPA/PIPA debates. The hosts review the 72-page indictment, which alleges that Kim Dotcom and his associates operated a "Mega Conspiracy" involving racketeering and intentional copyright infringement. The subsequent DDoS attacks by Anonymous on the DOJ and MPAA websites are viewed as a scripted part of the conflict.

megaupload· kim dotcom· department of justice· anonymous· dmca· racketeering

48:28 The day after, and I believe that this originally was scripted to happen the day before or the day of the actual scheduled hearing on the 18th of January. Yeah a lot of people were commenting on the coincident timing of the bust of Dotcom. The big upload guy. Now there was no coincidence there So we have MegaUpload.com, who the whole operation was indicted and of course in perfect retaliation which I also immediately am led to believe is scripted and i'll get to why in a second We had anonymous go and attack the websites of the Justice Department The MPAA, the RIAA

49:15 And God knows we all want to hit that MPAA site and so disappointed that when I will go to the MPAA site it was taken down because its so popular. Well, I will say... What's even on that site? I was trying to get to justice dot gov and I could not get to it for a good hour or so. And I was disappointed but finally got it because I wanted to read this 72 page indictment that Justice Department also immediately posted to see what exactly was going on. So I have an analysis of that if you're interested in listening. Yeah, no the thing is...I want to mention a bit do you think if your talking about the whole thing being scripted do you think shutting down this and maybe shutting down justice dot gov was done to keep people from getting ahold of the indictment?

50:01 It could have been. It almost discouraged me, I mean literally like I forgot about it and was like oh gosh I gotta go back and read that thing but you know they didn't have to put it up in the first place so I don't know if there's some regulation that they have to put the indictments up. A couple of things... So the entire case is based on all this internal email communication that they have amongst the members mainly the Dutch guy And he's, you know... Based upon this email communication they know fully well that there was illegal content on the servers. They were helping customers who couldn't get a hold of it and you know there are names titles all this stuff in here so couple things right off the bat

50:43 Is this guy an idiot? This Dutch guy, is he a total complete nincompoop. What are you using Gmail and why don't you just cc the Justice Department you numbskull I mean that was literally with all this money and of course what these guys were doing they had a sophisticated... what about the possibility that that's there was a moral just i don't know how i'm going to get to this and then it gets to this so i'm reading through all the sunlight okay this is unbelievable but it's not just him its kim dot com with would send off email saying hey discussed american can see the latest episode of bones or whatever and they're in on the real reason these guys got busted according to this document is because they had set up their own advertising network

51:27 and they would get money from advertising on all the search sites. Well, if you searched for let's say The Artist you wouldn't find a search result anywhere which pointed directly to any of the MegaUpload.com sites but if you were an affiliate because they had a very sophisticated affiliate model in place You would get their links And they ran the ads on those sites So that is obviously racketeering There is no way around it If that is all true And they claim to be hiding behind the DMCA regulation, but they had a tool that they would let the license holders use. But they had limitations you can only remove 5,000 videos a day. Meanwhile these guys were and this is all in the emails as well were downloading YouTube videos one for one. They pretty much had 30% of YouTube mirrored and we're trying to get it 100%. Because this was kind of the legal side of their business which by the way is also pure theft

52:26 So I'm reading through all this, and I'm like wow you know... Let me um... Stop for a second. These emails, these very indefensible emails none of them were originally encrypted or anything with some heavy duty encryption so they could have a conversation without discovery problems? Is that... No. That's what I'm saying! That's the first thing i'm looking at like this is this makes no sense if you're running an outfit like that why are you gonna have... You're encrypting Yeah of course you're...I encrypt for this stupid little show Are you kidding me?! Right and you get nothing

CHAPTER 13 / 30 Discussion

Kim Dotcom Federal Informant Theory, Robert Bennett Representation

The hosts propose a theory that Kim Dotcom is a federal informant and the Megaupload bust is a staged PR operation. They point to the involvement of high-profile attorney Robert Bennett, who previously represented Bill Clinton and Enron, as evidence of deep-state connections. The presence of numerous Megaupload affiliates in Northern Virginia, near intelligence agencies, is cited as a suspicious coincidence.

kim dotcom· robert bennett· fbi· virginia· safe house· pr operation

53:03 I get nothing, no damning evidence. But then there's like this... This is the funniest thing so i'm reading through this and of course you don't have to go to justice dot gov to get this thing And it says here, in part copies of copyright infringing works were downloaded by agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigations and other participating federal agencies from the National Intellectual Property Rights Coordination Center in Arlington Virginia from computer services controlled by the Mega Conspiracy. This is what they call the short name in the document instead saying uh... mega upload ninety and the defendants they just call it the mega conspiracy which i think is also kind of funny if that's a align for the news media who read this stuff if they read this stuff and um... and i'm reading through this and then to those also always wait wait wait my understanding was that that wasn't them but the apparent company he was named by dot com as make a conspiracy corporation now now that's uh... that is incorrect

54:01 And then I'm reading through this, so there's all these emails. Here is an example just one of them October 18th 2007 Benko sent an email to Funderkolk indicating quote sorry to bother you if you have a second to find me some links for the Grand Archives band i'd be very happy I don't know, about the same day Funderkolk responded with an email that contained a mega upload dot com link to a grand archives music album with a statement. That's all we have! Cheers mate! All of this very... just all the stuff out in the open so clearly stupid but then check this out they had these customers and affiliates who they were paying money too listen where the guys were from

54:47 A resident, so their names are only initials in the document. PA a resident of Newport News Virginia then we have CB a resident of Alexandria Virginia and these are people who got paid money for propagating links ND, a resident of Falls Church Virginia. NA, there you go, a resident of Alexandria Virginia and then NS, a resident of Fairfax Virginia so they were doing... if it's true they had spies as their customers and these guys didn't go like hey man we got a lot of people we're sending money to from Virginia are they I mean how stupid can you be?

55:28 Well, maybe. I don't think everybody's quite aware of the Virginia connection to like dozens of agencies, intelligence agencies. Except we are! We're very aware of it now here's what i'm going to submit to you These guys were so blatant. This Kim Dotcom with his hookers, his blow, his house... all the spending and everything Have you seen that house by the way? Yeah he had like 12 staff members It was outrageous! That is huge it's got two tennis courts Let me tell ya something this whole operation they were working for the feds this whole thing is a PR campaign that's why I was orchestrated in the manner that it was and the clue

56:14 is that Clinton's former attorney, Robert Bennett will be representing the company in their fight against the feds. Come on! Stop insulting me! In 1994, 20 cops raided Dotcom's home and he said no no I like feeling like a spy. I was helping MCI in that particular case These guys this is the whole thing John is bullcrap! I think the whole thing is set up that they're not... They're going to Paraguay They are not going to jail these guys were working with the feds This is a PR operation

56:57 I'm not going to even come close to arguing against that because it looked set up, there was no encryption. These guys weren't very sneaky. Dotcom was out and he was essentially a front man for publicity That house, that crazy looking place in New Zealand is outrageous I mean that place is just ridiculous. There's no way they would have... The place is obviously a safe house or something owned by the government, who knows what the story behind it be? If you look into the story behind that house you may learn something and then the whole thing looks fake

57:33 But, when it was time to coincide with these bills but these bills fell apart. So now they did it anyway? They had to do it! Well I think once the clock is running they can't really stop because not everybody's in on what's really going on and cant just pull the plug cause you have a bunch of international stuff going here Just think about it. Stop just think about it when you have cars with license plates that say Guilty God all this is so blatant and these guys loved it They're living high on the hog they knew that they were gonna get busted like screw it You know, this is what we do and they were encouraged to do this by the way This Robert Bennett guy

CHAPTER 14 / 30 Discussion

Chris Dodd Hollywood Threats, SOPA/PIPA Fallout

Former Senator and current MPAA head Chris Dodd is criticized for publicly threatening politicians who withdrew support for SOPA/PIPA. Dodd's comments are interpreted as an open admission of the "bribe-and-pay" nature of Hollywood campaign contributions. The hosts argue that the Megaupload bust was timed to provide a real-world justification for the anti-piracy legislation.

chris dodd· mpaa· sopa· pipa· hollywood· campaign contributions

58:12 Here he is. He's represented Bill Clinton in his sexual harassment charges, he represented Enron against allegations of corporate fraud, and also represented Defense Secretary Clark Gifford and Casper Weinberger! Come on man it's so obvious! Please you're not fooling me... Meanwhile no one is talking about the fact that the Supreme Court just basically said hey Disney you can have anything that's public domain you can go and own that no one's talking about that curiously the in the uh... general counsel and we would talk about the other show there are or letter political showed me one of the guys at their church i was a general counsel and ron an advice president now i am by as a lot of the enemies is the same players on all always indulge games that we have to witness it makes me very very sad and then we have uh... chris dodd coming out to actress dot of course uh...

59:14 Was he a congressman or senator, Chris Dodd? I think he was a senator. Senator, right? Everybody look him up while you talk about it. So he became a shill for Hollywood and uh... and he's now threatening Hollywood if they don't want to play game uh...and support Barack Obama here we go make the false assumption this year that because we did it In the years past, we're going to do it this year. Former Senator Chris Dodd and content providers like News Corp., the parent company of Fox News are pushing for anti-piracy legislation known as SOPA to protect copyrighted material Tech companies charge its censorship And when The White House expressed concerns last Saturday that appeared to tip in favor of them, Dodd was furious This industry is watching very carefully who's gonna stand up for them when their job is at stake

1:00:00 It's the mob, man! The mob is running everything. We're gonna break your kneecaps son. Yeah I know that was a very controversial threat for Chris Dodd. He apparently called a bunch of people out and said look Hollywood gave you money you better vote the way we tell you to. I mean it's almost like open corruption You got money from these guys? Essentially you gotta bribe... Now make good on your promise bitches And he called out various people. If I was a senator, I would be very leery of taking any money from Hollywood. So if we just follow this all through... so this legislation comes up

1:00:45 They've got this whole plan already set, and I agree with you that they probably weren't expecting the level of blackout or whatever. Or maybe they were! But they had this whole thing in their back pocket... Everyone's coordinated. Of course, this is probably what ACTA is all about—this ability to coordinate amongst all of the multiple countries and extradition etc. They have it all set up. They've got the lawyer in place to basically hook these guys up and this is all set and good to go, they pop this thing the day after the legislation which maybe was meant to pop on that day anyway probably was so we'd have a debate then we would say oh see? We clearly need this but look how well everything's working people would forget because obviously we don't need any legislation because it works just fine they were able to pop these guys

CHAPTER 15 / 30 Discussion

UK Internet Filtering, Pornography Smokescreen, .xxx Domains

A new initiative in the United Kingdom forces new internet customers to choose whether to filter "adult content," a move the hosts believe is a precursor to broader political censorship. They argue that using pornography as a justification allows the government and ISPs to establish a filtering infrastructure that will eventually target alternative media and political dissent.

internet filtering· uk isp· pornography· censorship· reg bailey· comcast

1:01:33 And meanwhile, we're actually seeing copyright law change before our very eyes which is not even being discussed. And then the internet... if you look at Gitmo Nation East here's how it's really going to happen Here's how the real censorship comes into your life Last year, the government published an independent review of the commercialization and sexualization of childhood by Reg Bailey, chief executive of The Mothers Union It called for urgent action from the internet industry to better enable parents to filter what their children see online. And in response, the big four Internet service providers – that's BT, TalkTalk, Virgin Media and Sky have pledged to force new customers to make a choice when their service is installed or activated

1:02:22 Do they or do they not want adult content filtered out? So this is how it's going to be done. And this is already taking place in Gitmo Nation East, now its for new customers but pretty soon you'll have a questionnaire sent your home that will say do you want pornography And if you say yes, then you get the still freely available internet. No! You say yes as a knock on the door in Gitmo Nation East Well... but what's gonna be filtered out of the porn free version of the Gitmo Nation East Internet? It's gonna be shows like this one That's what's gonna happen They just start rigging it Who is running the filters?! Please!! This is how they do it Once again we're being duped

1:03:05 Everyone running around. And of course, then the anonymous... The whole beauty of anonymous making up this group whether it's made-up or real or whether it's a bunch of techno experts is that there's no tracing back to who actually did the action It was probably Hillary Clinton sitting in her basement with her little goons doing this and calling themselves anonymous Well, they're not. Once they turned it... Some of the anonymous people supposedly have now turned their sights on the congressmen who supported the bill and going after their sites which makes a lot more sense to me

1:03:42 Yeah, because you're the congressman or the guys that are behind this is not you know everybody I mean all these special interest people from Hollywood on they have their stay have a special interest They have a reason to do all this stuff. They're just greedy But the congressmen buying into it and going along with the program Are the people that should be voted out of office? They should be targeted as of as people That shouldn't be in anymore then she get rid of all of them everyone who supports these crazy things well Or as an idiot like Mel Watt, who doesn't know anything. He's just dumb! Why are these people voted in over and over? Just vote them out and put anyone in it, then vote them out if they're no good. I don't get this attachment to these losers." And by the way, I encourage you go to the show notes today at 376.nashownotes.com and listen to the entire 10-minute report for the BBC

1:04:31 where they have all these psychologists talking about how porn is severely affecting children and they're growing up with abnormalities and getting all messed up because porn is doing it to them. This is what's going to change the internet fundamentally, and then on the back end... How long did this? Why does this do that? There's a secondary question here which kind of begs the question Why now on porn? I mean, you're claiming that it's just a smoke screen for what they really want to do which is to filter out... Oh yeah sorry we accidentally filtered out the No Agenda show. Or we actually filtered out this guy where he was one of our political enemies.

1:05:14 Because we got a call, somebody called us and said it was bad. Well here's what they're saying John What they're saying is that you used to have to suffer the embarrassment of going to buy a porn magazine And now it's so easy You can sit alone in your room with your glycerin as you say The kids are getting addicted to it and they're having abnormal relationships The whole report is fascinating to listen too I'm not saying its wrong by the way It might be true It might be true that porn is doing harm to some people, but so does coffee. Yeah well porn has been out of control for such a long time I mean you

1:05:53 You know, if it was the XXX thing cropped up they haven't forced anyone to go to that domain. That would make it easier. They also mention that in the report about .xxx so anything xxx will be filtered out... No no this is this is the setup and we're gonna adopt that model here as well you watch I mean it's so easy! The only need four companies to do it and its done And for new subscribers first you have to choose and then it'll be, hi this is Comcast can I take your order? Ah yes do you want the porn version that might turn your kids into degenerates and ruin their lives or do you want the sanctioned Disney-fied free internet that is all beautiful and censored for your protection. That's what it will be! That how its gonna happen And all this other stuff is all theater Why did it take him so long to come up with this scheme

Entertainment Tonight Movie Plugs, Hollywood Sign Severed Head

The hosts critique *Entertainment Tonight* for blending news with movie promotions, specifically a report on a severed head found near the Hollywood sign. The segment repeatedly references Brad Pitt's movie *Seven* and the 60s *Batman* series, leading the hosts to suspect the entire "news" story is a viral marketing stunt for DVD releases.

entertainment tonight· movie promotion· hollywood sign· severed head· brad pitt· seven

1:07:36 This thing, they've been working on this for five years and all of a sudden the day after the so-called hearing all of a sudden pop there it is and the guy's getting defended by this attorney. No no sorry I'm just not gonna buy it that's to set up It's a good one well done And maybe all that isn't accurate. That was very well executed yeah Okay let's see So I got something kind of interesting Alright Oh, well here's a couple of things. This is this is a little um actually play uh play the real news theme and I'll go with that. And now back to Real News

1:08:23 Okay, so I was listening to entertainment tonight which has become ridiculous with slipping plugs from movies or TV shows into their news coverage to such an extreme that they have two clips that are long. But it's just like their plug-o-rama play news as movie plugs one. Hold on now you're confusing me John yeah you just sent me something on Skype to do i don't understand what No! That's for later Okay, gotcha. Here we go! In depth on the biggest entertainment stories from around the world The real-life Hollywood murder mystery drawing comparisons to Brad Pitt's movie Seven Hello welcome to Entertainment Tonight I'm Mark Steinis And hi everybody i'm Nancy Odell The search is on for a killer who left his horrifying mark below the famous Hollywood sign which in a strange twist is very close to Brad's home

1:09:20 And that is where our Christina McClarty is following the shocking case that seems ripped straight from a movie plot. The gruesome discovery, a severed head found in a plastic bag. The location? This park on the Hollywood Hills where Brad and Angelina often take their kids to play Behind this gate is Brad and Angie's house. It's just blocks away from Bronson Canyon, and the hiking trail that leads to the Hollywood sign. Police say on Tuesday around 2 30 a mother and daughter stumbled upon a decapitated head wrapped in a plastic bag Police say it appears it was a male in his 40s with salt and pepper hair, and he may be of Armenian descent. It was set back from the trail at a place where most people don't go within a bag under a bush. It was a Caucasian male older. Um...it was pretty cleanly severed there was blood in his hair This scene is reminiscent of Pitt's 1995 film Seven on DVD now

1:10:21 This severed head was found steps away from the Batcave, which was seen in the 60's television series Batman. The park today is closed as the investigation continues. The crime scene is a popular shooting location seen in numerous films including Friends with Benefits with Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis sitting on top of the Hollywood sign Now the question...was this a monster? The Huffington Post senior crime reporter David Lohr explains how this could be a real-life Sopranos situation. Oh, wait! Oh man... Ah good catch John I'm so happy you somehow have time in your busy day between rubbing your meat

1:11:01 to watch this bull crap. But obviously, and you know what? Still no picture of the head! Let me tell you something... If I'd found this head, I would be standing there holding this head by the hair and you would be on your iPhone taking pictures of it And we'd be rich! It's great! You know? And I think because the news report should be Have you seen this head?! Does this head belong to YOU!? This is fantastic!! The whole thing is fake!!! It's just a promo... what is it? Is that all Paramount or something? I bet you it's all one movie company too. Now on DVD! That's my favorite one. Wow, that's unbelievable. Yeah of course the Carnival cruise ship capsizing wasn't good enough for the James... Well well well here he is clip number two! ...in water this temperature it's unlikely that people could have survived but everybody's holding out hope

Costa Concordia Sinking, Titanic Movie Comparisons

Media coverage of the *Costa Concordia* disaster is analyzed for its constant comparisons to the *Titanic*. The hosts note that ABC is conveniently promoting a *Titanic* miniseries for the 100th anniversary of the sinking. They mock Captain Schettino's claim that he "tripped and fell" into a lifeboat as the ship was listing.

costa concordia· titanic· captain schettino· abc miniseries· shipwreck

1:11:54 New footage of rescue divers in the ship wading through shoulder-deep water surrounded by dangling chandeliers and floating furniture. 23 people still missing tomorrow night on ABC Chris hosts a special 2020 with heartbreaking stories of loss and survival People there in Italy talking about the similarities between the Concordia and the sinking of the Titanic. Mark, many of the survivors we've talked to keep bringing up the Titanic especially this scene when the ship has pitched and is starting to sink into the water and they had to rush up to the top it hold on to the railing looking over the precipice. We have people who did exactly that to survive on the Concordia, I don't know if you can tell behind me right now but it's at such a steep angle that literally they're using mountain climbing equipment to climb up it so The Titanic movie keeps coming up but in the worst way

1:12:43 And a new excuse from the captain. He is under house arrest and now telling prosecutors he didn't abandon ship, but tripped and fell into a lifeboat This is crew members and passengers report that Captain Scatino ate dinner with a woman and was with her as the ship started listing In April, ABC will run a new miniseries Titanic marking the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the ship. No clips yet but ET has learned that David Calder will be the captain Linus Roach and Geraldine Somerville playing key passengers Could the Concordia tragedy come to the big screen? Matt Bellany of The Hollywood Reporter says the rumblings have started. You have, you know, the villain and the captain...you have a spectacular crash here....you know, very life or death situation This could be a Hollywood movie in a second CBS News correspondent Alan Pizzi at The Sun I asked him about the growing dangers there Alan this scene is surreal What's the biggest problem rescuers face

1:13:44 This is like a scene from a movie, actually. Because behind me you can probably see the Costa Concordia laid over on its side. It's wedged on a rock. Ah man! Yeah I told you these guys are brazen please don't pay attention to the real mob going on here The real mafia which are threatening to kill each other as politicians Please focus on this bullcrap Hey my favorite thing is they're equating it just like the Titanic There's nothing like the Titanic! No! Big boat that tipped over Sitting in the mud. Oh man, oh my goodness yeah good catch Yeah and people laugh at us when we say this you know but I gotta say

1:14:24 Good one. Good catch, particularly that head because when you know I read there was some news organization... How did he know he's Armenian by the way? What is the deal? There are a million Woody Allen Armenian jokes I could do about that but i'm not going to do any of them. It's bull crap and there's no head it's just not true! I bet you will never see it There was some news outlet who says claim they have a picture and They were asking five thousand dollars, and no one wanted to buy it. Oh please That's a that's a that's a bargain as ever That's a deal five grand is nothing these days for these so-called news outlets They would do that in a heartbeat if they had the exclusive footage say you had the head they got the head yeah Wow there wasn't actual ahead

Ozzy Osbourne Colonoscopy Sweepstakes, Paula Deen Diabetes

A bizarre CBS sweepstakes featuring Ozzy Osbourne offering a free colonoscopy is discussed as a new low in pharmaceutical marketing. This is followed by a critique of celebrity chef Paula Deen, who announced her Type 2 diabetes diagnosis shortly before becoming a paid spokesperson for the diabetes drug Victoza.

ozzy osbourne· colonoscopy· cbs· paula deen· diabetes· novo nordisk

1:15:16 Oh man, that's funny. Some I guess it was a promotion for one of the playoff games or something and then they slipped in this real short Ozzy Osbourne 15 seconds spot out of the blue, and he got right by me luckily buzzkill jr. So hey wait you got your beard You're missing this ludicrous commercial see if you can even understand what he says but play the Aussie commercials Sunday on CBS Ozzy, do you have a secret fantasy? Yes. I'd like to fly to New York for a colonoscopy. Enter the CBS Gares Colonoscopy Sweepstakes! You could be our winner! What?! The CBS Colonoscopies sweepstakes!? That's what it says! I thought it was a joke... There was no evidence that it was humor Wait a minute...CBS Colonoscopy Sweepstakes Did you look it up?

1:16:13 No, I didn't bother. I was just like stunned that you look it up and add to the intrigue Ozzy Osbourne giving one lucky fan a free colonoscopy Well, it's another it's another pharma Commercial oh man Let's see 60 minutes. Did these people have no shame? No, well you know I have a fantasy of wanting to fly to New York and why would you go to New York for your colonoscopy that's the last place i'd want to go Well that's probably where the clinic is or whatever it was something else that we saw let me see who uh... You know what her name The chef who came out and said I have type 2 diabetes Paula Dean

1:16:57 Oh yeah, a big old Paula. She's the one who deep fat fries butter Right! Well guess what she is doing now? She is now doing a diabetes treatment commercial for Novo Nordisk Diabetes Treatment Victosa Another whole promotion first she comes out and says I have diabetes And you know, I'm living with type 2 diabetes and then literally she comes out after that with a commercial for diabetes medicine It's kind of tight timing isn't it? Yeah. I didn't clip the commercial because just so boring but You know this is this is what its resorted to and people just eat that up meanwhile I think our theory on two Obamas is starting to hold water John

CHAPTER 19 / 30 Discussion

White House Insider, Cam Kawami Death, Kendi Durkee Embezzlement

The "Ulsterman Report" regarding a White House insider is explored, focusing on the mysterious death of 2008 Democratic Convention organizer Cam Kawami. The theory suggests Kawami was killed for witnessing a drugged or "double" Obama. The segment also links this to the embezzlement of Senator Dianne Feinstein's campaign funds by treasurer Kendi Durkee.

white house insider· cam kawami· dianne feinstein· kendi durkee· campaign funds

1:17:51 And let me tell you why so the third installment of the Ulsterman reports interview with a White House in style insider came out yesterday and So this is the guy who first talks about how cam What's his name again? Cam core Kawami what was his name Yeah, that guy. Right how he died of a mysterious heart attack in his...he was 57 and how there was this whole thing with Feinstein and all this stuff so I just want to continue in the saga because I really Well maybe we should reiterate it a little bit because some people might not have heard your exposition Okay

1:18:40 This Cam, who was the organizer for the 2008 Democratic Convention. He's a very well-connected guy. Big money guy and well loved. Bundler everything... And he was running the whole show and now obama's going through rehearsals they'd literally the secret security guys uh... secret service guys have to almost carry him off stage because he so out of it any and and cam thought that the guy had near their bomb i didn't something bad it was no puke in or whatever they take him into a room

1:19:18 where there's all this Gregorian chanting going on and then like half an hour later, at first the makeup lady comes out with a makeup bag. And then he goes into this whole thing about how Obama is always completely caked with makeup And then Obama comes out, completely like bouncing all over the place. He's great he looks fantastic he looks like the Obama we love on television there is a lot of rapid eye movement which she said might have something to do with drugs but the guy didn't even recognize him! The guy who was organizing the entire event who had been introduced to him several times over the previous few days And what the White House insider asserts to is that because Cam told several people, including Dianne Feinstein, Senator Feinstein. That they killed him for it and he was telling too many people about this now so

1:20:08 To kill someone over you know the fact that they're drugging up a president like yeah, but we know they're drugging up The presidents I don't think that's a big deal. This is why my alarm bells are going I'm saying wait a minute maybe there are two Obama's maybe Well will get to the whole thing in a second But maybe that's the real secret here and That the makeup as obviously has to be used to keep kind of skin tone and color or whatever And I'll get to that why I think that's valid So he in his third installment, he goes in and says listen to what else happened. He said they didn't want to kill Feinstein but it was so bad that

1:20:50 She do you remember what happened to her campaign funds? Do you remember this story all right they busted some woman here in the Bay Area who had apparently ripped off Her and a bunch of other people that so your camp pain money is all gone, right. This is Kendi Durkee a long time democratic campaign treasurer who actually managed the funds of it's like hundreds of campaigns. A whole bunch, yeah. Hundreds of campaigns so she was...it's like oh she stole the five million dollars and this Kendi Durkee interestingly enough on just

1:21:34 Just a couple weeks ago, a federal judge granted the request of Assistant U.S. Attorney John K. Vinson to delay a preliminary hearing that had been scheduled and it will now be held on January 26th So this woman hasn't even had her preliminary done yet And she embezzled $5 million dollars of Senator Feinstein's campaign so that's fishy to say the least Right, so that was yeah. That was kind of like the The slam like oh yeah really why because they can't go you can't go around killing senators that easily I mean it can be done but you know It's it's hard to do a heart attack on a woman So here is the interesting bit that cam kawata Instead of cuz we had a very important and this is the insider mentions this We had a very important race in 2010 for Attorney General

CHAPTER 20 / 30 Discussion

Kamala Harris Attorney General Election, Two Obamas Theory

The hosts discuss the 2010 California Attorney General race, claiming Kamala Harris was installed to control ballot summaries and election rigging. A theory is presented that there are "two Obamas"—possibly twins—based on the two swearing-in ceremonies in 2009 and inconsistent physical traits like hair color and moles. The segment suggests Senator Feinstein's early announcement of the Bin Laden raid was a warning to the White House.

kamala harris· steve cooley· attorney general· bin laden· twins· swearing-in

1:22:32 of california and it was uh... kamala harris you know many others yeah i do camilla harris against um... who is the other one who also will say that i wish there was this at least a family steve cooley's news that was by far the more qualified We had him fast-tracked to win. Kamala Harris was this miserable woman, black woman who was the DA in San Francisco that... Actually Asian! She's actually Asian she's not black. Okay well she is a mixed race whatever. She is terrible. She's a terrible DA. But why did they need her John? They needed her because what is the job of the Attorney General

1:23:20 Besides dealing with crime and law enforcement, the Attorney General is also responsible for preparing titles and summaries for ballot initiatives, consumer rights, and other policies. The voting gets rigged by these people! That's why they need a new president. There was a thesis floating around the Democratic and Republican parties both that the main job they should load up attorney generals in all of the states it's because we have a situation like what happened in florida they got bush elected you need day attorney general on in your party is that when the call on them to give you for one thing you support and you get them in there and then now they're just do just for the party as if if needed its almost like me they're almost likes sleeper cells exactly and com co-op and this is she was no bomb a girl one hundred percent already sanctioned she would because of course they wanted her in their income koala

1:24:17 Worked against her. He was so freaked out by what he had seen which you know We don't really know what it was other than what was described that he actually helped raise money for Steve Cooley to try and defeat her After that election, he died. Right after that! And that's when we get the whole Feinstein thing who then popped the news about Osama Bin Laden which The White House Insider is saying That was a message because she knows the real story That the whole Osama bin Laden killing is bullcrap and she knows what really went down and this was the President's hero moment So I'm thinking two things John

1:25:00 We've got the real Chicago mob, the real mob in The White House killing people. And that this is not about a president being drugged up but now think about the birth certificate what if it's not about being born in Hawaii or Indonesia or anywhere else? What if its the fact that they were twins? Think about that man! Remember, the whole reason you came up with two Obamas is we had two swearing-in ceremonies of this president. One in public and one secret with no press, no cameras, nothing. Yeah which has never been explained

1:25:51 Why would you have two swearing-in ceremonies? And then we also started to notice a gray haired Obama. They weren't doing very good job of coordinating the two Obamas, so one was more gray hair than the other and they once in awhile his hair was longer than it was shorter and it was longer again So now it seems like they got the right makeup people whose lives are at risk. So one has dark mole and one has light mole next to his nose on the left side Yeah That's the key to look for Well, that's not going to be much of a key if they're using a lot of makeup. Well no but anyway so just to wrap this up the Here's let me just quote from The Insider because it is very interesting

1:26:35 They said the follow-up was speaking out before the president on the only real achievement that the administration can try to claim as a victory, the Bin Laden killing. This senator is the one who made the first announcement not the president and they chose to do so at the memorial for calm? Is that coincidence? No! This senator was sending a message. They knew the real deal about bin laden or some of it. They knew enough to challenge if backed into a corner they would, they would challenged the story the white house will come out with, the story that painted Barack Obama as a hero The senator was telling the White House to back off. Because of course, Bin Laden just another actor! Just another actor sitting there in his compound which we know from our own producers that it's like a shamble of a shack sitting there being protected by the Pakistanis please everybody turn your lights off yeah because we need to light the set properly this is unreal

PBS NewsHour Funding, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation

The funding sources for *PBS NewsHour* are scrutinized, specifically the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and BNSF Railway (owned by Warren Buffett). The hosts argue that these "major funding" credits are essentially 30-second commercials that compromise the independence of the news program.

pbs newshour· bill gates· warren buffett· bnsf· corporate funding

1:27:31 So I'm just loveless. And that's why we get the big bucks to do this show, yeah? I don't know about big box but let me play this for a second. Judy Woodruff will see you online and again here tomorrow evening with Mark Shields and David Brooks among others thank you and good night Major funding for the PBS NewsHour has been provided by Moving our economy for 160 years.

eBay CEO Visual Search, Retail Technology Critique

The CEO of eBay is mocked for a keynote speech describing a future where people take photos of strangers' shoes or ties to find retailers. The hosts criticize this as a "Silicon Valley bubble" idea that ignores social norms and the physical risk of photographing strangers in public.

ebay· visual search· retail technology· privacy· silicon valley

1:38:28 So I got a kind of an aside here. Alright, so there's the very...I guess he was at CES or giving a team keynote or something but the idiot from eBay is CEO and call him an idiot because just listen to this short clip and then imagine that world like this and then tell me how far you'd get whether it's through voice or visual walking down the street saying boy I like that person shoes let me snap a picture and see which retailers have shoes similar like that And you laugh. The technology exists today to do this and you're seeing more and more retailers, and more and more technology providers making that possible I like your tie! I'm going to take a picture of it. I'll find out where i can get it shipped home or what retailers around me have ties like that

1:39:15 an explosion of visual search and visual technologies through these devices. Give him the hook, can you imagine going down the street with a camera? And then taking pictures of people's feet and not getting punched out? You know what this is whenever I hear this... What kind of an idiot is this guy? I'm just taking a picture of your feet, ma'am because i was thinking about buying those same shoes for my wife. No no this is very Silicon Valley whenever people are talking bullcrap it's always about your refrigerator will know when your milk is about to go bad It will automatically order from the grocer and it'll show up on your doorstep automatically Yeah now Is that really all you can come up with

1:39:54 You're gonna snap them. Excuse me, I love those pumps honey Oh excuse me ma'am uh-uh I know my wife will look really hot in those so you mind if i just snap a picture? Can you imagine this? Douchebag! A good way to get slapped and I don't want anyone taking pictures of my tie because they're going to quote unquote buy the tie Hey the tie has been out of service for 10 years I wear old ties I mean, how many ties can you buy? Who's gonna take a picture of someone's tie because you wanna buy the ti- It's usually a red tie. You don't need to take a picture! Or can't you pick a tie? Can't you go to the store like a normal person, look at the ties available and say I like that tie. Why do you have to copy somebody who's wearing a tie because you like the tie they're wearing or are you just a complete moron who can't buy a tie? John C. DuBois acts pet peeve of the day! There ya'go. Hey i forgot to tell you about our TSA experience in Houston

CHAPTER 25 / 30 Discussion

TSA Experience at Houston Bush Intercontinental Airport

Adam Curry recounts a negative experience with the TSA at Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport. He describes a "dickwad" agent who harassed a passenger in a wheelchair and made insulting comments to Curry's partner, Mickey, regarding her orthopedic shoe lift. John Dvorak encourages filing a formal complaint to ensure the incident is recorded in the agent's personnel file.

1:40:57 Oh, what happened? So we decided that instead of flying from Austin to Bonaire. Bonaire is only a four-hour flight so instead of flying from Austin to Houston and Houston down to Bonaire We drive up which I thought you know when it's like three hours if you put it all together the flying was more... You drove to Houston?! Yeah! You drove to Houston!? Yes Wow Well its only 3 hours It was fun ya know but there were midnight flights where like oh just driving or whatever It was actually quite nice. And the nice roads, they got good roads all over Texas with no income tax. How do they do it? I don't know. Amazing! So we're there early and we're all checked in and we are going to go through the TSA and of course they have a naked body scanner running so you know were already to opt out

1:41:51 there's a real dickwad sitting behind the x-ray machine so literally like two people with two people besides us in line and And you know that there some guy in a wheelchair, and they you know They're giving him a hassle, and then of course he can't stand in the naked body It was one of the older l3 models. You know the one that the cylindrical one they used to have at San Francisco Airport I So, you know so the guy can't get in. So they're giving him a hassle and And then the the douchebag behind the Behind the that bag is x-ray he's like bag check no one responds It's like 20 guys doing nothing bag check You know and he's leaning over in his chair with his hands behind his head. So, you know, the belt has stopped and so we're waiting for that and For whatever reason this was kind of our luck of the draw

1:42:43 After they went through the whole wheelchair thing with the guy, they decided only the magnometer. So we didn't have to opt out of that but I was all ready to say you know and I was kind of looking forward to it. I was ready to say hey you know why i'm not going through that thing? Because they ordered dosimeters to figure out your cancer clusters! But anyway...I didn't get to do that unfortunately The thing goes my bag goes through and I have the carry-on which is the studio, right? So it's got in there microphone wires you know the big Behringer MIDI controller mixer all of this stuff and so this douchebag behind the X-ray machine he's He's yelling down the line to all four people standing there including Mickey because I'd already gone through All major electronics tell your bag on that laptop

1:43:33 You know, you know how they do that right? Yeah and Mickey says how about my iPad no iPads are fine So my bag goes through and I've taken out my laptops. And then the guy goes bag check What's this we got a major appliance in this one and the guy says The guy says what do you have in there? Do you have a big appliance? Say yeah It's a mixer We said all big appliances had to go up like the iPad is okay But what's big? How big is it? Well, it's a mix. It's a big appliance! And go look on the website and see if you can find the term Big Appliance So I'm like okay this guy's a dick then Mickey puts her shoes through now I Talked to her about this and I'm allowed to talk about it but I'm not allowed to make fun of it

1:44:23 So she has a leg difference. I don't know if we ever mentioned this on the show, but one leg is a little shorter than the other and by the way Mickey has extremely long legs very beautiful But one of her legs is a little bit shorter so she has A lift that she puts into her shoes and Recently she had a new one made because it turns out the ones She's been using for years wasn't tall enough now It was actually quite delighted because I'm like Honey, why don't we just buy you one of those big? You know the big black boot the clumpy one and then we can probably get one of those invalid Stickers for the car. No, so I'm like come on this is good. This is no don't feel bad about it

1:45:01 Then you all you have to do was once the water is a free parking exactly isn't it all and then, you know We can probably get you a wheelchair To go through we don't have to go through the naked body scanner So but think about all I have to do is once in awhile. You have to wear the big clump foot No, they'd be kind of cool. You know what? I mean John the big black boot That's like ten inches high, you know I'm talking about yeah, so the guy says who shows are these Mickey's like mine guys as what's in them Oh And then, so this is embarrassing right? Some a-hole said well I have a leg difference and so uh...I have a lift in there. And the guy says yeah well we watched you walk and we didn't see..we didn't notice anything when you were walking

1:45:47 Is that an ass or what? What a jerk. You should file a complaint with the TSA about this. No, I really should actually. You should! No totally you should file a complaint and it's no problem figuring out who this guy is i'm sure all the TSA people hate him Because I've worked with guys like this and you don't like people that are like this. The guy's making it hard on everybody, and everybody hates everyone in the TSA because they hate him He needs a complaint filed against him for being mean he's not even following his own guidelines in violation of his own terms, his own contract. Yeah now you're right and I'm gonna tell her she's out now I'm gonna tell her that until Mickey we're gonna file a complaint it was so insulting! You know it's like women don't want to... It's not like the thing they feel good about Well at least they didn't strip search her like they did with their grandma Who knows? So this is Houston Is this the Love Airport or the Maine-Houston International This is George Bush

1:46:49 International Air- Intercontinental Airport? Duh. The Bush airport... This guy, this guy said we were watching you walk! You didn't walk funny! She was upset! Now come to think of it I should have filed a complaint right on the spot you're right that was dumb Anyway, let me get this guy a douchebag And we're gonna file a complaint. That's a good idea I told you they have a complaint process and it gets it gets put in his record no matter what You know they do anything but it goes on his record so in some Some hard-ass supervisor wants to go after the guy They got yeah, my record plates about you at a wrecker You gotta complain about these PTSA guys if they give you if it's if they do anything out of the ordinary You're right

1:47:37 You're right. I messed it up. I missed that one. Oh, I believe me It goes right in their file and it will go down the road someday. They'll pay off for you. Yeah, they gotta be out You're right. So I'm saying that to anybody in Houston. Other people must have run into this clown He had like short blonde hair a real Nazi. Yeah, you'll notice him. Oh GX2 made little jingle for us for our white party at the Acropolis which we now can rent for $2000 The White Party! The White Party at E-Kropolis. Don't miss it!

1:49:16 So this was the, this is a new player on the scene which I don't know too much about. The Institute of International Finance...I guess these are the guys who represent the private creditors left the table as they were negotiating with the IMF. This is about the 130 billion euro package that Greece needs and they said, no they left on Saturday and said you know we had long-standing personal appointments so uh... You know well I will see if we can come get back to you on Monday So this is a tactic obviously They just got up and left so looking more like there's going to be some real problems in Euro land

CHAPTER 27 / 30 Discussion

Islamist Victory in Egypt, Religious Beard Customs

Islamist parties have secured over 70% of the seats in the new Egyptian parliament, a development the hosts note has received little mainstream media attention. The discussion briefly touches on the religious significance of beards in Islam and compares the custom to those of Orthodox Judaism.

egypt· islamist parties· muslim brotherhood· beards· religious customs

1:49:56 and uh... lost again well what about problems that i got was watching a lg zero and they have the kind of just no question not talking about it much here in our news thing but fairly islamists said just a quick new story it took over egypt while we were looking and the gypsum spoken islamist parties dominate parliament with more than seventy percent of the seats just that's simple that's the answer Yeah, that's all the news we got. That's all we got wait a minute isn't that a huge deal? Isn't this the whole point is that Egypt was there they were fighting for their freedom and And Anderson Pooper was there on Tahir Square and we were all taking care of business as all groovy Oh great There's a Twitter and they cut off the internet it was a big deal also so who takes over the Islamists

1:50:46 Which of course makes me wonder if they just wanted them to take over so they could create more havoc with Israel. I'm not sure what the deal is, but this is not what the American people expected from all this bull crap? But now they're no one's talking about it by the way. No, oh no By the way they showed in the thing They show all these guys there was a big poster of all these different islamists They all had the same big beard It was like a stereotype guys who? Was like look like a bunch of taliban guys Like an fbi most wanted poster in the post office that would have looked like yeah only it was just beard beard beard beard beard I gotta love that but this beard thing

1:51:26 It's a part of the religion man. What do you mean? Was it with this? I'm still off its has got to explain or somebody who's not us a lot office but one of the other guys has explained where this comes from because I don't know This is just like we can't cut your beard Is that I didn't know that was in the Koran, but apparently it must be something or somewhere It's interesting how isn't that the same with Orthodox Jews they also can't cut their their beard and yeah No There's very much of this cut from the same cloth Huh on opposite sides of the cloth though. Well one wears black all black and the other one wears all white So I guess maybe yeah, oh check this out so while i'm here On this shitty-ass connection there's miss mickey on a speedboat Hey blow me! I can't believe that shit they're rolling up in a speed boat here in front of the house This is not okay. Is she out skiing or what? I don't know Lex Luthor his uh persian princess

CHAPTER 28 / 30 Discussion

Iran Youth Culture, Forced Haircuts, National Internets

Anecdotes from a "Persian Princess" describe the enforcement of cultural standards in Iran, where youth are allegedly abducted by vans and forced to have Western-style haircuts shaved off. The hosts predict that the global internet will eventually fracture into "national internets" walled off by government firewalls, marketed to the public as "porn-free" or "safe" zones.

1:52:26 And the Persian carpet guy. And Mickey on... Oh man! What, you wanted to be in the boat? You want to drive the boat? Yeah I'd love it well they're gonna they're having fun on the boat mm-hmm Wow oh so I did get I did debrief The Persian Princess a bit I was saying, you know hey do you know the people in uh... Yeah that's right this was the show. You were going to give us a report about Iran and now we're almost the shows almost over and your you have yet to give us a report Well my deal i'm not waterboarding her John. I'm just trying to get some information and casual conversation. You know what I'm taking it easy with her

1:53:07 You know acid go is it what is the deal? I mean isn't Iran like all gone to young people who are all you know really cool And they're connected and they get at all until yeah, that's absolutely true But you have no idea. What's really going on and she by the way she may be a Disinformant I don't know so here's the thing She was telling me which I found kind of interesting She says oh you have these young people and these kids will be watching YouTube videos Which they have perfect access to by the way and They'll go and cut their hair Kind of in an American style or a European or whatever they find fashionable But then when they're walking on the street, they have these vans and then guys will jump out of the van We'll grab these kids drag them into the van and then shave their head And say and then make them Agree to a statement that they will never do it again. And then they have to prove it with their thumbprint on this statement What? Yeah

1:54:07 And girls who have... So they dig ways, there's a bunch of essentially enforcement vigilantes. This was taking place in Afghanistan during the Taliban era and they would be so short of throwing acid in their face So they grab them if the girl's got a nice hairdo? Well, she was talking about the boys. If the girls for instance... Oh, the boys! Boys can't have a haircut or what? No they can't have a western-looking haircut then they grab him into the bus and shave their head I don't know if they shaved it completely bald or crew cut but then make him sign a statement that he'll never do again and you know its almost like they almost had to sign in blood but instead they put there thumb print on the document that says they were apprehended and will never do it again

1:54:54 Well, who's behind these abductions? I don't know the regime and for girls they do the same thing if If you have a lock of hair showing from underneath your scarf or what? Borca, I guess Or if your skirt or dress is too short They do the same thing but what's interesting is the thumbprint thing and that goes on your file that goes on your record. Oh That's about all I have right now. Well, that's pretty bad Yeah, no it is not fun rise the Persians foot up with this stuff This is what I'm trying to get out of her. I'm like you know so are you guys putting up with that? Are you gonna? You know so I think the message that she's giving me is It's not great over there But yeah, and that's their problem as far as I'm concerned I don't think we should be go you know bombing anything to go and save them from the haircut

1:55:45 You know, they've got to have their own revolution. Right? Well yeah... As long as western stuff is creeping in I would say within the next few years we're going to see all the internets are gonna be firewalled off from each other. There won't be an internet anymore, no one's gonna care I've said this before and i'll say it again we'l have a national internet in the United States Iran will have one everyone will have one and they will walled off except if you're an academic or know what your doing sure you can get to the Chinese websites if you want but generally speaking the average American if he walled of the internet tomorrow so you could not really get out of the country

CHAPTER 29 / 30 Discussion

Vincent Brown Confronts ECB Spokesman, Irish Bank Bailouts

Irish journalist Vincent Brown is praised for confronting an ECB spokesman during a press conference regarding the burden of bank bailouts on Irish taxpayers. Brown repeatedly asks why the Irish people are forced to pay billions to unguaranteed bondholders of defunct banks. The segment highlights the dismissive response of the ECB PR team and the eventual cutting of Brown's microphone.

vincent brown· ecb· ireland· bank bailout· austerity· bondholders

1:56:26 People could still get to Amazon, they can still read the New York Times, they can look at YouTube videos of cats. And Facebook! And Facebook, exactly. And Twitter and they can still go to Hulu so they would not care one bit! Yeah and it'll be introduced as the porn-free internet we now have the model by the way breaking news first unofficial referendum for Croatia 67% voted for entrance into the EU surprise surprise yeah that's no surprise anyway let me get back to the EU for a second there is a fantastic journalist in Ireland And I think Vincent Brown is his name. This is a little bit longer clip but it's well worth listening to So there was a press conference by some European Central Bank spokesman who, by the way has his deputy spokeswoman sitting next to him, some woman you'll hear her in the clip

1:57:19 And so this Vincent Brown, the ECB guy he goes off on this long tangent which I'm not going to play for you. Like this was so great! You know? I took a cab from the airport and my taxi driver is so aware and understands the situation He really gets it and boy you Irish people are so great! And then there's Vincent Brown who has a journalist who i think is on TV in Ireland uh...he's an older gentleman uh...which means that he's probably being portrayed as a kook It's time for him to ask the question and he basically says, okay so did this cab driver at all talk to you about the fact that we're being forced into austerity and that we are now being overtaxed. And this huge burden is being put on us to bail out failed banks? A valid question right John!

1:58:08 Yes. Klaus, did your taxi driver tell you how the Irish people are bewildered that we are required to pay unguaranteed bondholders billions of euros for debts that the Irish people have no relation to or no bearing with? Primarily to bail out or ensure the solvency of European banks And if your taxi driver asked you that question, or if the taxi driver had asked you that question what would have been your response? That's my first question.

1:59:05 in a way that would illuminate the taxi driver's understanding of all this, I would have a follow-through question. Right can i ask you then to pass the mic and we come back to you for the second question? Shut up slave! Pass the mic! Well if you don't mind that's a way of breaking up the exchange and I would prefer it went this where with tradition in Irish journalism that we pursue issues and that when somebody doesn't ask a question, we follow through on it. And I hope that tradition will be respected at this occasion so could you answer the question? So now they're whispering to each other putting their hands over their mics like who is this kook who's an idiot why is he questioning our authority what how come you didn't set up this press conference properly how'd you let this idiot in? Answer the question

1:59:54 I have answered a very similar question of you. I think it was two reviews ago. You addressed the question previously? Yes, I did. I can understand that this is a difficult decision to be made by the government and there's no doubt about it, but there are different aspects of the problem to balance against each other. And I can understand that the government came to view All in all, the costs for the Irish people for the stability of banking system and confidence in banking system of taking certain action in this respect which you were mentioning

2:00:42 could likely have been much bigger than the benefits for the taxpayer, which of course would have been there. So the financial sector would have been affected – the confidence in the financial sector would be negatively affected and I can understand that it was a difficult decision but that the decision was taken in this direction That doesn't address the issue. We are required to pay in respect of a defunct bank, there's no bearing on the welfare of the Irish people at all we're required to pay in respect of this defunct bank billions on unguaranteed bonds

2:01:21 in order to ensure the health of European banks. Now, what would you explain... How would you explain that situation to the taxi driver that you talked about earlier? I think i have addressed the question. No you haven't addressed the question because you've referred to the viability of Irish financial institutions, this financial institution that im talking about is defunct its over it's finished now why are the irish people required under threat from the ECB? Why are the Irish people required to pay billions to unguaranteed bondholders under threat from the ECB

2:02:03 You didn't answer the question last time, so maybe you'd answer it this time. Well I think he doesn't have anything to add to what is already said. This isn't good enough! Your people are intervening in this society causing huge damage by requiring us to make payments not for the benefit of anybody in Ireland but for the benefit of European financial institutions. Now could you explain why the Irish people are inflicted with this burden? And he's cut off. He's cut off! End of story. He's actually cut off right there yeah I love the German guy though, I have addressed his question

2:02:44 It's a PR woman and I get to kick out. Oh, yeah She like could you just pass the mic just you know We're really tired of you where you've asked this every single time You're so annoying with the same question you cook get out of here This is what your journalist should be doing This is what the this is what every blogger should be going to every whenever there's one of these And in I'm talking Gitmo nation Europe now Euro land You've got to get into these press conferences and you've gotta expose these guys. It really is unbelievable because it's very simple the way he's putting this, like we're bailing out failed banks for bondholders who just had a bad investment and how come we have to pay for that? Well, we from ECB are not going to answer your question, we are addressing your question which is different from answering your question so why would you shut up slave
