About this episode

Barack Obama delivered a 2012 State of the Union address that critics have identified as a nearly verbatim recycling of his 2010 and 2011 policy scripts. While the President called for infrastructure investment and college affordability, analysis of the 71-minute speech reveals that nearly 28% of the broadcast was consumed by scripted applause. The administration simultaneously faces scrutiny over the timing of a Seal Team Six rescue mission in Somalia, which coincided with the address to maximize political utility.

India and China have begun bypassing U.S. sanctions by purchasing Iranian oil with gold, a move that threatens to devalue the dollar as the Eurozone faces a controlled default in Greece. Domestically, student loan interest rates are set to double to 6.8% this July, creating a sharp contrast with the Federal Reserve's commitment to near-zero rates for banks. Tensions remain high in the Strait of Hormuz as the aging nuclear carrier USS Enterprise deploys amid warnings from George Soros and Christine Lagarde regarding potential global civil unrest.

Adam Curry shares details of his surprise marriage proposal to Miki Willis at Seroe Largu in Bonaire, a secret kept from John C. Dvorak until the social media reveal. The No Agenda community celebrates the launch of a volunteer-led transcription service at readnoagenda.com, making the program fully searchable for the first time. The show concludes with Reverend James David Manning offering a satirical and hyperbolic critique of the 2012 Republican primary field.

Technical Difficulties and Remote Production Setup

Production issues affect the remote broadcast from Bonaire as the connection fluctuates at 400 kilobits. Adjustments to the Skype settings and the implementation of a noise gate are discussed to improve audio quality. The hosts acknowledge the informal nature of remote location shows and the lack of a standard snappy opening.

00:00 ...word here. Okay, that's working good. Uh anyone out there uh listening to us on the stream please make sure we have a backup recording because you never know! A small production notice here... Zip-da-da-dah! You hear the fat lady John? Do I hear what? Do you hear the fat bitch? Yeah it was playing my slide whistle. Okay yeah I heard ya. Maybe you're just doing that of your own accord i don't know. I'm crazy Hell yeah. Ha ha, haaa-ha! Uh... So once again we're at about 400 kilobits up and 400 kilobits down Yeah well I can barely hear you breaking up constantly You know what? You don't need to hear me. I have nothing important to say. You know people keep telling- Whoa People keep telling us there's something special We have to do with like locking some port down or something on Skype when we do this And I never really understand what i'm supposed to do

01:15 People need to give you step-by-step. Yeah, well I can't really jack into this router here that so if they have to close some ports here That's just not possible Anyway it is what it is yeah You got enough bandwidth It should be better no I don't really have enough bandwidth you only need 15 kilobits on a Skype Well it also depends on the Cinco de Mayo shit missed it You distracted me

01:57 Good it also depends on the the number of hops and stuff like that Did you listen to the last show yeah, I listened in the last show yeah, oh No. I was on it, I was on the last show Yes! I remember that part...I'm just wondering because at the near the second half of the show i enabled the noise gate because there was no more wind and I thought it sounds better when you don't hear the background when its just us Just wondering if you had an opinion Okay But wont make any difference now will it? It doesn't sound like he's gonna make a lot of difference Right

03:08 I like it where half the chat room says they're sparking up a bowl, and the other half says they just took some magic mushrooms. People get really ready for the show don't they? That's pretty cool! Yeah just forget to donate that's the problem

03:50 No loving today. For those of you expecting to hear a snappy opening on the show, this is one of those remote location shows so we just start recording somewhere during Le Bich Fat and you just have to live with it sometimes people like that... So this is what you're normally missing. Whoa! Save the cargo Captain Banes! This is what you're normally missing during the pre-stream of the program Yes, QWERTY indeed. I know that the listeners can't afford to donate because they're spending it all on LSD. I'm quite aware It's okay. I assume...

CHAPTER 03 / 42 Discussion

Adam Curry Proposes to Miki Willis in Bonaire

Adam Curry recounts his marriage proposal to Miki Willis at the highest point in Bonaire, Seroe Largu. The event was kept secret from John C. Dvorak, who learned about it via Facebook and his wife. Curry describes the logistics of the surprise, including staying at a location referred to as "The Lair" and the rainy weather conditions on the island.

06:35 Once again, coming to you from the Caribbean island of Bonaire where the earth has determined that it is just going to rain forever. So I was watching one of these shows on The Travel Channel Yeah On secret places and apparently there's a secret best place in the world on Bonaire It's an obscure beach on the other side of one of the islands nobody ever goes to it No! There's only one beach and everyone goes there That's not what they told me yeah, no there is no there is something called little boner which is Just off the coast and it's its own little island And that is the place where you want to go scuba diving which we just haven't been able do it It's been raining. We had one some message from God Yeah, we had one beautiful sunset and that was the day before yesterday I know you got the email John Did ya did you get the email?

07:38 Well, you sent me a bunch of email but which one are you talking about specifically? No the one that Mickey sent you. Oh. Did you know that I asked her to marry me? Yeah no everybody knows! We sent our friends quote air quotes... Oh I found out about it from my wife so uh Yeah, I found out about it from Facebook. She's and apparently everybody at the office found out about it on Twitter That was actually the last guy to find Just because you don't open up your email or went to spam or something like that? Yeah, I have nothing to do with that That's not my fault But you want another funny thing so

08:18 Just say yes, of course you want another fun. Yeah, yeah So I so I take Mickey up to this the cereal argo Which is this? You know it's the big mountain It's the tallest point in bonaire where they have a nice little there's a little chip There used to be a statue of Maria up there But I think she kept they kept stealing the statue so just put a big M with a little crown on it which Is nice because of course m also stands for Mickey and I take her up there. You know it's like under the ruse of let's go hey There's one sunset during this whole week that we're here Let's go take some pictures And I couldn't believe she actually fell for it because you know and I drove to it in one Go which had rehearsed previously, you know She should have known something was upright then like wait a minute Adam never can find his way on the ground How did how does he not get to this place so check this out though? This is this is a no agenda woman

09:08 So blah-blah, you know I fall on my knees and I say will you marry me? And she says that's a great question She does it's funny Great question. It's just the regular ass question She was ready for she'd been preparing for weeks he's like I was ready for that That's funny. So I that's very funny, so i'm looking in my email box there is nothing from Mickey since December 24th 2011 and there's nothing in the spam box she never mailed me She did oh wow well I was here when she emailed you Well you got it dropped off at the face of the earth or whatever happened Or maybe one of the intelligence agencies grabbed it and then tweeted it out Well we'll uh make sure we resend to make sure everything went to the proper address

10:02 Anyway, so and but I have to say thank you so much to all of the no agenda producers because we don't really Have a big family But that of course is not true because the know agenda family is ginormous. It was so nice to get all the responses and emails and tweets and You can immediately do me a favor as a pre wedding gift I have to do your favor? You never say ginormous That's a phrase that was, I think popularized by Rachel Maddow. Oh i'm so sorry uh... I've been indoctrinated. I'll never say it again but it was big! It was a big response that was really nice

10:44 Well that's very sweet. Yeah, so there you go. It's not bad it's a good time to do it You know you're in some desolate island out in the middle of nowhere with no connectivity and now you get a sunset that you can finally live with And yeah, well the whole idea was to propose tour here on the island That's why I emailed Lex Luthor Oh so it was a scheme from the get-go? Yes! That's why I emailed Lex Luther and said can we stay at The Lair And initially he said well, we got other people here and I said well. I want to propose to Mickey in two days later All right Come on the time for a guy say crap all right come over there So but it's been but the weather here literally since we were here a year and a half ago It is the climate has changed and it just rains Off and on every single day. It says raining it adises like oh yeah Yeah, well, I don't know if yes an earth cycle that may be raining here for the next uh

Obama State of the Union 2012 Script Comparison

Barack Obama delivered the 2012 State of the Union address, which critics and the GOP compared to his 2010 and 2011 speeches. Audio clips highlight nearly identical phrasing regarding college costs, immigration reform, and infrastructure repair across three years. The repetition suggests a lack of new policy initiatives or a reliance on recycled campaign rhetoric.

11:33 fifty years who knows global warming like eleven and global warming is a little more than that's what it is used to be used for the global warming anyway uh... have still of course found time to fight evil i'm sure you have as well at the end of course it was the evening my timing was impeccable the year the evening of uh... of my proposal was uh... this state of the union obama state of the union and I was able to stay awake. For just a while. All I really cared about, we didn't have C-SPAN or anything here so it's like some NBC kind of affiliate. It comes in from Miami or something and all i care about is to see the walk in and see what people are wearing. We're television producers! Ladies & Gentlemen The President Of The United States Did you see Hillary wearing all black? Quite a departure

12:35 She didn't seem... she had a... she just looked, she didn't look good. No! She looked pretty unhappy actually Yeah And while the president was saying to Panetta there Good job! Good work tonight! Good job! Good job! and I immediately knew something was up Like okay Oh whoa whoa sorry little bit of wind here I immediately knew something was up which of course came out later which we definitely have to discuss but this uh this state of the union Did you, was there anything that uh... That you noticed during this? Anything that uh... Oh did I notice well there was a blog posting on DevoeRack.org slash blog which people should go check out Uh comparing this of course it came from the GOP because it's a no brainer Comparing this state of the union to 2010 and 2011 State Of The Union Exact same speech exact same wording I have the clip let's listen

13:33 It's whether the hard work and industry of our people is rewarded. Where hard work pays off, and responsibility is rewarded. Let's fix what needs fixing, and let's move forward! Tonight I want to speak about how we move forward It's time for colleges and universities to get serious about cutting their own costs Colleges and universities have to do their part by working to keep cost down And we should continue the work of fixing our broken immigration system Now i strongly believe that we should take on once-and-for all the issue of illegal immigration I believe as strongly as ever that we should take on illegal immigration. And let's stop expelling talented, responsible young people. Let's at least agree to stop expelling responsible young people who could be staffing our research labs or starting a new business who want to staff our labs start new businesses we'll put more Americans to work repairing crumbling roads and bridges so much of America needs to be rebuilt We've got crumbling roads and bridges face the deficit of trust I talked tonight about

14:30 the deficit of trust. We can't wage a perpetual campaign, we need to end the notion that the two parties must be locked in a perpetual campaign. We should give them a government that's more competent and more efficient. We should all want a smarter, more effective government I have to say that was pretty good that they threw that together so quickly. The Republican Party, I thought it was good they put the little ominous music behind it and you know its better actually when we see the video because they show the dates of years 2010 2011 2012 Well, actually if you wanted to take it one step further and they want to put more time into it They could take all those stump speeches he's done recently and then they will hear the same things It's almost as though Obama. It was like that bad dream in that college students have where you wake up And you realize that you've taken a class You've never attended today's of the days of the final right? So this is Obama waking up saying oh my god I haven't written a State of the Union speech and I'm scheduled to give one That's interesting because if you look

Student Loan Interest Rates Set to Double

Student loan interest rates are projected to double from 3.4% to 6.8% in July 2012 due to the expiration of a 2007 provision. This increase occurs despite Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke's commitment to near-zero interest rates through 2014. The discrepancy between cheap money for banks and high rates for students is identified as a potential new financial crisis.

15:33 I was going to say, if you look at WhiteHouse.gov...I don't have a clip of it but they did one of those West Wing Week episodes his reality show and it was behind the scenes of the writing of it and we got the speech writers and all these superior supreme advisors and all like yeah on the president's really involved in they have been cut to scene of the president going hey I really want this in there! It's hilarious is like its worse reality television than reality television Well, it seems as though somebody said this speech stinks. Let's do an old speech I don't know well there was one thing that caught my caught my attention and went whoa when I looked into it And I was like and I went whoa Whoa the time what Americans owe more in tuition debt than credit card debt This Congress needs to stop the interest rates on student loans from doubling in July. Well did you know this?

16:27 and how much money was not that funny because in july now i mean it's not by the end all but it's funny well what's happening is apparently in two thousand seven they had some kind of provision that uh... that set the interest rates for student loans at three point four percent ford for subsequent years two thousand eight two thousand nine two thousand ten in two thousand eleven and in july of two thousand twelve although there's no stipulation For for what the interest rate should be on student loans. Everyone is now agreed they're going to 6.8 Hmm, which of course is I mean it's outrageous and this yeah This is gonna be this is gonna be another crisis on our hands Which I think he just kind of slipped in there and no one knew about it And I went to go look I'm like oh let me in order to understand Student loan finances you have to have a college degree that

17:25 this is it's crazy i mean you know, its all based on the t-bills and uh... you know LIBOR and how can you understand any of this stuff? The joke of it is that Bernanke yesterday well I think it was yesterday had a press conference he essentially said we're gonna have zero interest rates zero to some minor number until 2014 which means he doesn't see anything changing until 2014 And with that kind of free money, why are kids paying 6%? Yeah because if you put your money in the bank what do you get now 0.1%, if that? Yeah The banks get all this free money but then how did they come up with almost 7% interest rate for student loans It's like dangerous

18:21 No one can afford that and people can't afford their student loans as is. This is like the mortgage crisis where all of sudden, oh well you should have read the fine print they're gonna double in July 2012 well the uh... of common that he made was that there's more student loans outstanding and what something else credit card debt i guess right now we have to know this not that doesn't sound good no but we we've discussed this and we know this but i didn't know that those that they were going to be at the student loan rates are gonna double by the way they don't have to double there's no rule that says they're going to double did they just not set by a by law

18:56 So they can easily just pass a law. No, it's an out-and-out gouge They yeah, obviously the student loan program has been taken up by payday loans or one of these guys super scam It's just like wow are you kidding me? So you watch that'll be the neck That'll be a whole mini series in our reality show which is our United States get mo nation politics We're gonna go through this whole rigmarole Like, oh just... he's gonna finally get maybe a tag. Maybe the students will get a clue and stop voting for this guy. No no no because of course we can't wait and he'll fix it by some executive order at the very last minute And then he'll be the hero which of course he was here what would what is this?

Seal Team Six Rescue of Jessica Buchanan in Somalia

Seal Team Six executed a night raid in Somalia to rescue American aid worker Jessica Buchanan and a Danish colleague. The timing of the mission, coinciding with the State of the Union, draws skepticism regarding its political utility. Questions are raised about the intelligence reporting on Buchanan's failing health and the lack of diverse photographic evidence of the hostage.

seal team six· jessica buchanan· somalia· djibouti· al-shabaab

19:38 Seal Team Six rescue mission, why do they have to always do these during a State of the Union? They have to have something else to talk about the next day is that why they do it and what kind of bull crap was this. Well I'd like to know if you remember many members of the seal team six that supposedly were dead. They were all killed! Were dead now their alive again. As i heard at least on two other news channels that this was the exact same team that took out Osama It's funny, for some reason I don't think i got the clip. Shep Smith... Damn! I can't believe I missed that clip. Shep Smith was on Fox which he is always on of course and he said The same team that captured Osama Bin Laden which I thought was an interesting... Oh really? Yeah, gosh there would have been a clip in the day. I'm such a dumbass. Somehow I missed it. I cant see it in my line up. I was like whoa okay

20:34 and it but it was a repeat of the previous year. Then we get Joe O'Biden on uh the compromised ABC News with George Stephanopoulos. Well, the Pentagon's going to debrief this morning but I can tell you that The president personally authorized this. We have our special operations forces, I'm not going to go into more detail than that... No don't go into any more detail! By the way they are the most incredible warriors this world has ever seen They said it was time and opportunity Jessica's health was failing and they concluded they should go at this time and the President gave the go

21:09 And it was, again they also rescued a Danish aid worker. This is the Danish demining operation she was working with and the president had the great privilege of being able to call her dad to say she was safe once she was out of the country and in good hands Did you look into this at all, Jessica Buchanan? Let me ask you one question first. No I didn't not to any extent because i have one basic question if these two people are kidnapped and they're being held for a year or some three months how do they know their health is failing unless... How does that work? Are they sending out press releases? Are the pirates sending out a press release saying their health's failing? Where did this information come from? Do they have a mole

21:57 Well, how's it got about the host make any sense? No the whole story doesn't make sense. And by the way There's no video of her They they're all using the same black and white picture when I did a Wikipedia when I consulted The Book of Knowledge I come up with Jessica Buchanan and she is a fictional character character on the ABC soap opera one life to live and I'm like, okay. That makes sense! There's nothing I could find except the same propaganda over and over again. And apparently they parachuted in... They waited until the guards were stoned because they were smoking quat or whatever and then they went in and grabbed her and the helicopters came in and landed and took her away but of course the whole thing is a mission from Djibouti

22:48 Which is where the drones operate from and so that's all fantastic. We need to have Djibouti in in the right spot, and of course there's a connection to Al Shabaab which I guess is too To heighten their profile But it's always an al shabaab can yeah shells but they don't really know I mean let's see actually used to be a doo-wop group in the 50s I'll give you that one They're saying, you know well we're not quite sure there's a connection to Al Shabaab but it kind of looks like it and I don't know man this is just the timing of it. You know the way because I went back and looked again when Obama... And by the way was the gray-haired Obama who did the State of The Union he's the guy that's all chipper He's all up in chipper

23:36 And he was like patting Panetta on the shoulder there and Hillary just looks off immediately, is talking to someone else. Hi how you doing? She was irritated by it and I think it's because we know that the Osama Bin Laden raid was bullcrap... ...and this was probably bullcrap too! This Danish organization.... It's very very weird They're like, yeah they identify landmines but they also do other things literally and they're about you know like we clear the way for political stuff. It's just like I don't know man it doesn't pass the smell test i have nothing else than that

Executive Producer Donation from Accra Ghana

Sir Dean Bertram from Accra, Ghana, is named the executive producer for episode 377 following a donation of $239.43. The hosts discuss the current state of donations and the impact of the economic crisis on the show's value-for-value model.

Valerie Jarrett Presence in the First Lady's Box

Senior Advisor Valerie Jarrett sat in the First Lady's box during the State of the Union, a position typically reserved for the Director of Legislative Affairs. Other notable guests included Steve Jobs' widow and Warren Buffett's secretary. The highly scripted nature of the television pool shots, which anticipated the President's mentions of specific guests, is criticized as overly theatrical.

valerie jarrett· michelle obama· state of the union· steve jobs· warren buffett

26:09 Yeah, and how about a real estate the union speech instead of a stump speech? Yeah. How about just you know things are not good people Life sucks now it was an end there was all kinds of weirdness going on like Valerie Jarrett was sitting in in the first lady's box which is a first ever that uh that an advisor instead of the Yeah, what do you call it? They have a bunch of stooges up there usually put the camera on. Yeah but this was... so they had Warren Buffett's secretary of course and he referenced that. There is Steve Jobs' widow Of course he referenced that I didn't did use to were there all kinds of shots at these people when he was talking about him Did you see like when he talked about Steve Jobs they cut to an insert Pre-shot A what? A pre shot

27:08 Yeah, they chose Steve Jobs widow. Yeah, Lorraine and then he talked about Steve jobs Really okay All right good And then he'd talk about something and then sometimes you do a reference in the nation with the guy But it was all it was all it was like coffee television Like here's a cup of coffee and then the script will be cup of coffee Yeah. Wow! No, it was all... It was so scripted the shots from the pool that at some point it got really annoying because they'd show somebody and then you know what they're showing this person for? And then Obama would mention them. Oh man who directed this thing?!

27:50 I don't know. Ken Ehrlich? Yeah, they should have done no pre-shots it should all been... Later in the script they did regular shots and when they started talking about this John Stewart had a bid on this thing uh... they were we're talking about some jewish thing is a missionary government of one of the congressman no yeah now really it was what's his name not but no it wasn't even there was that he had a new yorker talks like this so talking guy and i don't know i try to get by trying to forget those guys anyways indeed bag but he did show him my dad has like

28:27 and story when i was is not the only jew in congress but if they get on hand so anyway normally the white house director of legislative affairs who was responsible for really pushing the president's agenda in congress is always in the first lady's box not this year valerie jared was there the true president sitting in the president's box with her sick secret service detail now it was a it's really weird you know i'd i just I get more and more bad vibes about what's really going on. When they get so lazy about the theater that they just are repeating scripts from previous years, and you know the true power players are sitting around... You've just got to wonder what's coming down the pike? And again it was the same script! Was it not in The Last State of the Union where we killed Osama Bin Laden?! Oh no wait that wasn't The Last State of the Union, It was the Press Corps dinner right?

CHAPTER 09 / 42 Discussion

Obama Re-election Strategy and the Half-Haircut Meme

The Obama campaign is allegedly utilizing a "finish the job" meme to appeal to the electorate, particularly millennials. This strategy is compared to a viral video titled "Half a Haircut," suggesting that the President needs a second term to complete the work started in the first. The hosts argue this is a psychological tactic to deflect from first-term failures.

barack obama· re-election· campaign meme· millennials· ron paul

29:28 I don't know which one. All i know is they keep hearing it, this is his 9-11. Bush would always bring up 9-11 for whatever reason This guy's gonna bring up we killed Osama and he brings that right at the beginning And at the end...and again So, during this process and over a number of days I have determined...and I'm predicting this already. Well, it was predicted but I already have the evidence so there's nothing to predict. The strategy that Obama is using to get re-elected. And it's creeping into the subconscious mind of the electorate in such a way that people, when I look... Luckily revealing it here will help us spot it every time it happens but I first ran into it when I did The Generation X3 show with three people from The Office Eddie Dorian and uh... I can't remember who he is. Yeah, It's The Millennials & Me. Just kidding! The Millennials & Me is what I call that show

30:32 So they brought up the, I'm not sure if it was Andrew. I think it was Dorian actually she brings up this meme and uh... And I didn't pay much attention to it. Put in the back of my mind that thought it was interesting because three of them all agreed on the meme and then they agreed that Ron Paul would vote for him he's the only Republican they think all other Republicans are douchebags there is a millennial group thats what everybody thinks Right, which sounds right to me. It sounds very good and then when I listen to Alec Baldwin on Piers Morgan and he drops this same meme into the public domain And then I started looking it up and I find a video that's done by the Obama campaign Which is the meme? Let me explain what it is before you play the clips for Alec Baldwin because this is the way he really nails it

31:28 it goes like this republicans are all douchebags and obama hasn't been given the chance to finish the job he started right yeah i know that's a sure thing cases right be finished but is a little bit but ball one has a little extra twist to it so all three of them agree they have to really elect obama so we can finish this lousy job these doing so okay i'd in kind of live with that to appoint so uh... i mean to thinking i can see where you come with that so i didn't I found a very interesting video on the YouTube and people can look it up. It's called half a haircut And it shows a guy, and it's supposed to be hidden camera. And the guy gets half of haircut and he says that's just your haircut. He said you only cut half my hair! I don't need look at this half is done. He says well I want the other half. I want the other half. Then they have the Obama logo on the end. You needs the other half. You got half the haircut so far right? Actually I think Miss Mickey showed me she thought was really funny video until like pointed out to her what was really going on

CHAPTER 10 / 42 Discussion

Alec Baldwin on Infrastructure and Eisenhower's Highway System

Actor Alec Baldwin appeared on Piers Morgan's program to support President Obama's call for large-scale infrastructure projects. The discussion critiques the historical narrative of the Interstate Highway System, arguing it was a military project and a subsidy for the trucking industry at the expense of railroads. The hosts dispute the idea that such projects are the primary drivers of economic recovery.

alec baldwin· piers morgan· dwight eisenhower· interstate highway· trucking industry

32:32 Yeah, it's a total scam. So I mean it is part of the meme thing they're trying to do so I got two clips and one of them kind of sets up the other one but I want to play him in this order that's a little long but this is from Piers Morgan because when I also deconstruct what Morgan says he kinda sets up the whole you know Baldwin's opinions of things and then the second half of the clip, part two of this clip brings out this meme in great detail. And I do have some comment about it so play the Alec Baldwin lead-in on false premise one. That America remains a great country that America remains a country that is revered around the world still it can still be strong but it must go back perhaps to basics to manufacturing things President Obama said the following in his speech

33:22 During the Great Depression, America built the Hoover Dam and the Golden Gate Bridge. After World War II we connected our states with a system of highways. Democratic and Republican administrations invested in great projects that benefited everybody from workers who built them to businesses that still use them today. And that surely is The crux of the problem is that America's been in tough times before. We're not in the Great Depression now, we're in a recession but it wasn't as bad as it was in the 30s and the way that America got itself out of that hole before was to build big things... To I guess inspire people at the same time creating jobs in its own country Well I think that the United States when I've said this

34:11 kind of broad banner, I've waved this banner before in this kind of conversation where i say America is great and direct proportion with when we do great things. And when we fought wars that it was clear who our enemy was and they were people that needed to be stopped from their uh... aggression and so forth in the last several decades in this is true the sixties and seventies now during this period in the middle east that one not quite sure that the wars of america was fighting were uh... who's the best idea and the amount of money for the amount of american lives in the amount of innocent civilian lives abroad they were killed especially in the middle east

34:51 Okay, okay now let's couple things this before we go on the first he gets a little anti-war message in there Which is totally off the topic but firstly? Let's the Golden Gate Bridge and Hoover Dam all issues did not get us out of anything. It was World War two okay So let's begin with some honesty Thank you, but the Golden Gate Bridge what does that do for us except connect San Francisco to to what I Right to nothing. But here's the other thing about that highway thing, I have with me all the highways, oh Eisenhower finished a job at the interstate highways you have to read from let's say i have a copy here believe it or not of The Locomotive Engineer's Journal from March 1941. Ah some bedside reading yeah it's actually quite good

35:42 They go on and on about the highway. They started this highway thing as a scam to put these interstate... What is the point of the Interstate Highway? So we could take nice vacations?! No, it's for the trucking industry! That was all it was for, to begin with. The trucking industry mob and their lobbyists pushed all this through to screw the railroads The railroads had built their own tracks. Except for that major track, in fact even the one at the beginning during the Civil War... The railroads had put all these track beds and they bought the property They put the tracks in and yeah they got the right of ways from the government sometimes but it wasn't the goverment putting the tracks in It was the railroads because there were competing with each other And then now the government is building all these roads for the truckers and the railroad guys There's editorial after editorial after editorial from 1941 on until

36:35 They gave up. Bitching about the fact that the government is subsidizing the trucking business, which by the way if you want to look at the roots of the destruction of manufacturing in this country this is part of it because it decentralized everything so he didn't have these hubs and manufacturing you know these manufacturing hubs like you once had there where everyone would go and they knew how did you know you do how to do the trading that you would move things in and out inexpensively on rail instead of now you have trucks blocking the roads. Go to San Francisco, it's amazing you can get anything done or New York City where there are these trucks on all the public streets that are just blocking the road! It is a complete disaster and it all began with... There wasn't a positive thing in other words they put these roads in the way they were so I'm convinced that... Before you continue can I just tell what I always heard about Eisenhower's interstate system?

37:25 that it was also to land aircraft on in time of war. That's what I always learned at school That would make sense. And people still land on the big interstates, wouldn't they? Not planned but yeah they do land on them! That's what I always heard is like you know it was like they were built so that in a particular way so if there was a war broke out we could land our aircraft on the interstate system. A lot of these projects... I mean Napoleon III did the same thing in France he built all these big boulevards and everyone just goes oh what a great boulevard those are only so the troops can come in and out of the town easily

38:02 So a lot of this is military. That wouldn't surprise me in the least, but the beneficiary of both were the truckers that's it period and so I think that's what which is why I think that the railroads are trying get the government to put high-speed rail in so they can use it because they've already been screwed by the government on this thing. So, this is all bullcrap! But it sounds great we can build another Hoover Dam make a big project let Obama do it he can't do it now it's a little too late for that yeah let's play part two and now you get out see the structure of the upcoming campaign Do you think President Obama has

CHAPTER 11 / 42 Discussion

Second Term Presidential Flexibility Myth

Alec Baldwin's claim that presidents "let it rip" and become more philosophically bold in their second terms is challenged using historical examples. The second terms of Nixon, Clinton, and Bush are cited as periods of scandal, impeachment, or economic collapse rather than successful policy expansion. The hosts argue that second terms rarely result in the "dreamy projects" Baldwin anticipates.

presidential terms· second term· richard nixon· bill clinton· george w. bush

38:40 the gumption I guess to carry through what he said in this speech. Do you think he's actually going to start commissioning those kind of dreamy inspirational projects which will get the whole world gasping in awe? Well, I'm hopeful that he will and that hope is based on the notion that presidents regardless of party have more flexibility or a perceived flexibility in their second term because there is no possibility for re-election. Many people play their cards pretty close to the vest and

39:15 And they play a rather conciliatory game, if not kind of zero-sum game if you will. Especially when the other party is in control of the Congress In their first term and then on their next term They kinda let it rip You know? They really let it fly on a philosophical basis Because they don't have to worry about running for office again. Ha ha ha! Good one! good one john, good one. What bull crap! Let's take a look at who most recently because until Roosevelt there was only you could do more than two terms but there was a lot of two term presidents and more recently we have Eisenhower Nixon was a two-term president what did we get from him when he let it cut loose? He had to resign because he screwed up so badly what did Truman do in his second term? What did Clinton do during his second term that let it cut

40:01 He got the cut loose. He cut loose alright, he cut loose! Yeah, he cut loose with Monica Lewinsky and got impeached. And then we have Bush... What did HE do? He collapsed the economy in his second term I'm looking at this example of where they've got to cut loose in their second term as less don't re-elect these guys any of them but no, this stooge Alec Baldwin thinks it's a great idea because he gets the cut loose nobody has cut loose there is no examples of it he's full of shit John C. Devorah, pet peeve of the day. Bullshit! John! Oh sorry little applause there very nice

CHAPTER 12 / 42 Discussion

Gabrielle Giffords Resignation and Political Theater

Representative Gabrielle Giffords announced her resignation from Congress to focus on her recovery following the 2011 Tucson shooting. The emotional tribute by Debbie Wasserman Schultz on the House floor is characterized by the hosts as a scripted theatrical performance. They suggest Giffords is being positioned as a future political asset for the Democratic Party.

40:40 Unfortunately, we can be on the lookout for this crap. Well unfortunately you're wrong that's that's the only sad thing because of course my prediction from the Red Book is starting to come true with the announcement that was made just this past week But I will never forget the trust You place in me To be your voice Thank you for your prayers and for giving me time to recover.

42:13 to have Gabrielle Griffiths and I know people will hate me for saying it but, I don't even believe she was shot in the head. I think the whole thing is one big theater and the Oscar award, the absolute best acting goes to Debbie Wasserman Schultz. who uh... there was the most is disgusting display i've ever seen and when it was what was a man who was in debbie wall also waserman schultz even hanging around this woman i don't know that they were friends she isn't insults as a phony merrill street who did a fantastic job and iron lady can go home because debby waserman shults she knows how to act here she is thanking gabriel giffords as you step down in congress morning

43:04 Because I knew that. I would not be able to hold it together very long. I am so proud of my friend and It will always be one of the great treasures of my life To have met Gabby Giffords and to observe with her in this body We have all been through such a tumultuous year. The nation has been through a tumultuous year, no one more tumultuous than Gabby and her family and her constituents in her beloved home city of Tucson Arizona. And I know

43:43 Being able to be Gabby's voice today. That's great, you're doing great! Knowing her as well as I do...

No matter what we argue about here on this floor Cats being mangled There is nothing more important than family Beautiful! And friendship Oh beautiful, and that should be held on high above all else I will always carry that in my heart and even though i know we won't see each other every day like that he had a rather are now i have one more clip because something else happened something very important happened in arizona because of course the obama administration knows what's going on and you know we have already discussed that the republicans and the democrats want obama out but they're all very careful because you know they don't mail they don't back down from killing people

CHAPTER 13 / 42 Discussion

Jan Brewer Confrontation with Obama in Phoenix

Arizona Governor Jan Brewer was photographed pointing her finger at President Obama during a heated exchange on the tarmac at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. The disagreement centered on Brewer's portrayal of the President in her book, "Scorpions for Breakfast." The hosts speculate on the underlying political tensions regarding Arizona's immigration laws and the Giffords resignation.

jan brewer· barack obama· arizona· immigration· air force one

45:38 so here's what happened in arizona with uh... jan brewer to presidential politics now and check out the intense body language in this photo that's arizona governor jim brewer giving president obama peace of her mind is the president stepped up air force one at the phoenix airport number or any republican later explained the two exchange words over her characterization in her new book of a White House meeting on immigration. Brewer said in that meeting she felt the president was condescending and patronizing towards her, Mr Obama had thought the meeting was more cordial than that Arizona's controversial immigration law is headed to the Supreme Court Of course that had nothing to do with it what was really going on if she was pointing that finger at the president going listen douchebag don't you realize they've got we've got Giffords all lined up

46:24 She's all set to go. So no matter if we can't get the Republican in, we know who is going be on the inside and it is not going to you! We've already got actors in place... It's done I'm keeping my prediction firmly on the book John. Your predictions still in play And I'll give you another one You heard about this, of course everyone's talking about the big Pelosi secret. For those of you who haven't heard it here she is talking to John King. Pelosi Secret? Yeah John King on CNN. Speaker Gingrich what goes through your mind when you think about the possibility which is more real today than it was a week or month ago that he would be the Republican nominee and that you could come back here next January or next February with a President Gingrich Let me just say this... That will never happen

CHAPTER 14 / 42 Discussion

Speculation on Jeb Bush Entering the 2012 Race

With the Republican primary ongoing, speculation arises that a new candidate like Jeb Bush might enter the race to consolidate the party. A Rasmussen report indicates that 33% of voters desire a new Republican option. The hosts suggest that if Bush appears physically "trimmed down" in media appearances, it would be a definitive signal of his intent to run.

jeb bush· republican primary· rasmussen report· chris christie· mitt romney

47:11 Why? He's not going to be President of the United States. That is not going to happen. Let me just make my prediction and stand by it, it isn't going to happen. Why are you so sure? There's something I know the Republicans if they choose to nominate him, that's their prerogative. I don't think that's going to happen All right now John you and I of course have been television producers for many many years We have produced all kinds of television reality television one being one of our fortes Seeing as we have four people left on the island What would we typically do in a scenario like this? What is next in the script when you have four people on the island But you still have quite a ways to go

47:54 Well, if you got quiet ways to go then you gotta stall the event. Yeah we've gotta bring a new contestant on! Oh usually your bringing one of the old contestants and so everyone goes oh my god that contestant weren't you kicked off the island like eight episodes ago? And it's always some evil person Ah how about Jeb Bush? Write it down write it down when you think about When you think about it, there's almost no delegates have been handed out. I mean... Whoa! Sorry a little bit of wind here and bone air. The big Super Tuesday is what it's all about and all you need to do is one big huge massive push in the media. I think, I really feel Jeb Bush is going to appear on the scene And he's gonna enter the race It's what I would do

48:44 It's a good script. Yeah, it's if I was in the product in the Writers meeting and you came up with this that's a great idea let's do it let's go with it Let's go There's nobody else. No, I mean the only a lot of the only other remote possibility is Chris Christie Who's also an evil character that you could bring in at the last minute? Yeah But he and it's also fat He's already double booked for The Biggest Loser so we can't we can't put him on this reality show. He already has good point That's a good point. He's already cooking. He already committed to one of these guys. Yeah, he already has a deal with the other fat guy

49:23 I really, actually in fact there were some other clues here. This is the latest Rasmussen report if you believe anything but they dropped a clue. The latest Rasmussen reports national telephone surveys find that 33% of the voters think it would be good if a new candidate entered the presidential race on the Republican side. There's our magic number, thirty-three which means to me it's time for Jeb Bush to start polishing the knob It's time for him to step in I mean that's just a pure sign right there

50:05 Well, he was supposed to be the president not George W. Yeah, well and he's probably waiting isn't he still Governor of Florida? No no He's long gone from government But he's gained a lot of weight, which is a problem. I'll tell you that here... Here's the giveaway because if he's gonna run He's gonna have to get all this weight off because it doesn't make him look good. He's better looking thin Right was actually getting fat would do with a double chin It was getting like, you know, it wasn't even recognizable If he all of a sudden shows up trimmed down Anywhere, anywhere doing a thing on Fox or something anywhere

50:42 And he's all trimmed down looking good. That's the new that's the total right, right? Well, that's that's the checkmark well if you and I again if we were producing it We'd have already sent our personal trainers out there to get him in shape working them out now they're whipping him can't eat that and then another little now Aaron Burnett of course is uh You know she's paid to be a part of the reality show This is how it works in television. And we're not doing too good with our ratings, I mean the State of the Union was down 12 and a half percent from last year so you know we really got to whip things up into shape." She's talking to Jim DeMint while although he gives a glowing review to Ron Paul particularly for the destruction of the Federal Reserve she slips something in

CHAPTER 15 / 42 Discussion

Aaron Burnett and the Mitt Romney Mexican Heritage Story

CNN host Aaron Burnett teased a story regarding Mitt Romney's Mexican heritage during an interview with Senator Jim DeMint. Romney's father, George Romney, was born in a Mormon colony in Mexico, a fact being used as a "birther" style distraction in the media. The hosts criticize Burnett's delivery and the sensationalist nature of the reporting.

aaron burnett· mitt romney· jim demint· mexico· cnn

51:32 Which I'm like, what? And she actually... She goats over it. Like this is big news! This is hot news right off the press have a listen. You did say some nice things to The Daily Caller about Ron Paul. Oh yeah if we don't listen to Ron Paul's There's several things, Aaron. The unaccountable out-of-control Federal Reserve is going to destroy our monetary system. The whole concept of individual liberty and limited government... I mean that needs to be not only the core of the Republican Party but American people need to realize that that's what makes us great! Not this central government collectivism that we've moved towards now. So if Republicans don't listen to Ron Paul, we're going to have a divided party because the other half of the country that wants more from government is united and they're gonna elect people who are gonna promise more from government. Do you think there's any way you could eventually have a ticket but had Ron Paul on it?

52:25 Even if Romney was at the top of it? We could. I don't know how that's going to end up and i'm not endorsing anyone so despite what the articles say, uh... I'd feel good about any of them being elected they all have their good and bad points but um... they would all be a lot better than what we've got in the White House right now Before we go did you know Mitt Romney was Mexican? Hello! John just let me throw this out there Did you know that Mitt Romney is a Mexican What is that? You got me. That's the clip of the day, how can you beat that? Well let's finish it off and then we'll play the jingle I don't know dude... I'm sorry! I don't want to get into that now Alright Is this a birth certificate question? No no it's not We are going to be talking about it It's actually really neat story, stick around and hear it Thank you very much for coming on Aaron A little more subtlety please when delivering the lines I mean what?!

CHAPTER 16 / 42 Discussion

Reverend James David Manning on Newt Gingrich

Reverend James David Manning presents a satirical theory claiming Newt Gingrich has a "black liberal father" based on his birth name, Newton Leroy McPherson. The segment includes Manning's characteristic hyperbolic style, which the hosts find entertaining. This leads to a broader discussion on the absurdity of racial and heritage-based attacks in the 2012 election.

james david manning· newt gingrich· leroy mcpherson· satire· birtherism

53:25 Wow, all right. Hey well since we're on that track play newt gingrich is Newton Leroy McPherson So we got people like I have gotten some inside information about Newt Gingrich and I have a strange suspicion the reason why newt is so erratic and Unpredictable is that I believe that Newt Gingrich's father was a liberal, educated black man. I do! You know because he was raised by his stepfather and we'll get to that in just a moment. I believe that Newt Gingrich real father was a liberal but educated black man because Newts' real name is Newton Leroy

54:25 McPherson that's what he was born. He was born Newton Leroy McPherson now listen nobody on the planet Names their children Leroy except black people This of course is the Reverend Manning Yes, do we need to play more? It doesn't go on it gets funnier like nobody on the planet names their sons Hector except Hispanic people You're nobody you just don't yeah, if your name is Hector everybody know somewhere down the line you you Hispanic homie homie but If we do have that Hailey Roy, well be it nobody on nobody on the planet except black people named their children

55:13 Leroy. Now Newton's, that's why I call him and that's why he so erratic and unpredictable. Newt, I suspect has a black liberal father. Newton Leroy McPherson is how he was born. I'm calling you man! Alright, okay okay okay. Wait a minute is he doing shtick now? Yeah totally. What Obama's behind whooping whooping whooping the constitution holy and totally eligible he is a criminal whoop him Ron whoop him! Why don't we play that as an end of show clip where they play the whole Manning thing. It goes on to Romney who is also black

56:08 This is great. Oh, well no Romney's a Mexican that said did you know that apparently some black Mexican? I don't know Enter Jeb Bush who will save the day for the reality show and then we've got Gabby Giffords on the other side. I'm telling you it's a perfect setup We have not seen anything yet ladies and gentlemen, we are only just beginning We're in the first inning of a long overtime game Yeah don't they have like 10 or 12 more? Extra innings sorry I didn't want to say that over time Aren't there ten or twelve more debates scheduled Yeah, it just keeps I mean I keep turn on the TV like oh crap another debate. I didn't even know about it It's just crazy. Oh man Manning. Oh boy He's awesome so I think that's a good end to show clip did you? See this thing with John Kerry

CHAPTER 17 / 42 Discussion

John Kerry Hockey Injury and CIA Intimidation Theory

Senator John Kerry appeared in public with two black eyes and a broken nose, officially attributed to a hockey mishap. An alternative theory is proposed linking the injury to the indictment of former CIA officer John Kiriakou, who worked for Kerry's committee. The hosts suggest the injury might have been a physical warning from the intelligence community to keep his staff in line.

john kerry· cia· john kiriakou· hockey injury· interrogation

57:05 No, I saw John Kerry on some of these shows but i didn't see the thing. What was he doing? Oh that uh well he's got a black eye and broken nose you didn't hear about this oh yeah right this is the right the blue yeah I saw the picture of him He has supposedly broke his nose and two black eyes it looks like it but it doesn't look like... You know what it looks lik to me I mean I don't know what your theory is something maybe the agency I got there is that he had work done That's a good theory by the way. And first of all, no one is going to believe this hockey story that he broke his nose playing hockey. Alright. Yeah he got slammed I would have agreed with the work done although i don't see where you had the work done if it was an eye job. An eyelift will give you two black eyes A nose job will give you 2 black eyes too. I connected the dots on this one

58:02 On the very same day he shows up with black eyes and a broken nose. It turns out, a former CIA officer was charged with disclosing the identity of a covert CIA officer and by telling journalists the name of an agency officer involved with interrogation of alleged Al Qaeda leader Abu Zabadeh Da'a And this guy, yeah who cares? This guy's name Kirakou worked for John Kerry at the Senate Foreign Relations Committee as an investigator. What happened is the agency roughed him up! They said you keep your guys in line Kerry and then they busted his nose that could be

58:56 I'm not going to argue against that idea because it would make sense. And there's no reason you can't rough up these guys, what are they gonna do about it? They're shooting your wife or something! It's not gonna be pleasant. What did you think Kerry did? Did Kerry let this guy go off the reservation or encourage him? He obviously knew the guy was working for him And the guy was working for him up until this happened and all of a sudden, you know The guy has to be disappeared because you know it's it's a felony to disclose a CIA officer Unless of course, you know, yeah, it's out in the open And I think yeah we always talk about the CIA being out of control. I think they roughed him up They said listen man That's not cool

59:43 And don't you and don't you ever do it, too. Don't you ever let that happen again bop? Yeah This is like the kid that shows up in school says yeah ball hit me in the nose no way exactly No way he got roughed up big time Well doesn't take much one guy one strong guy with a good right hook boom You got a broken nose and then you walk out. You don't have to actually sit there and give him the once over with shots to the gut, just one strong broken nose punch that would do it Hey! Do you know what I forgot to do John? Where are the witnesses of this hockey game? Yeah when John Kerry is playing hockey someone's got their iPhone Someone's videotaping it

1:04:31 And he timed it out. Yeah, I wasn't radically different in the past but it was different He's getting less of the opening applause that's for sure yes total speech time 75 minutes in 2010 about 70 minutes in 2011 71 minutes in this this current year of our Lord Total applause by the way by the way that's too long yeah, yeah It is well with the same script the speech should be forty five minutes max yeah well they spent twenty four minutes of applause in two thousand ten nineteen minutes uh... in two thousand eleven and nineteen minutes and forty five seconds

1:05:13 This year so that's what you get when you do the same script. You're gonna get the same results Yeah, however if you do the if you do the real math this year 29% was wasted on applause last year 28 percent was wasted on applause and in 2010 a whopping 33 percent there's that magic number again was wasted on applause and we do thank Kevin for keeping a an active An act of rundown And there's something I forgot to mention uh... john which i forgot to mention the last show just before i left in fact miss mickey was packing up the car uh... member i told you that had one of those bed bath and beyond radioactive uh... so a lot of people sent me similar link apparently and not only apparently but i tried it for android there is a gate geiger counter app

CHAPTER 21 / 42 Discussion

Radioactive Tissue Holders from China

Reports of radioactive tissue holders sold at Bed Bath & Beyond lead to a discussion on contaminated products imported from China. Adam Curry describes testing a Geiger counter app on his Android phone that allegedly detected radiation in his studio. The hosts express concern over the lack of government screening for radioactive scrap metal in consumer goods.

radioactivity· china· geiger counter· bed bath and beyond· android app

1:06:11 It uses several of the sensors inside the Android phone, including the cameras. But you have to put black tape over the cameras and then you have to calibrate it I kid you not. I calibrated it in a different room, then went into the studio where I have this thing and alarms went off! It started shrieking like... I didn't have time to do any more testing and by the way Miss Mickey walked in and said are you kidding me? And I was like no don't worry about that because she wants to throw him out So, I've ordered the official Geiger counters and well we'll see. And how does this work by the way? How can our government who stops all kinds of bombs and has all kinds of scanning equipment...how can radioactive junk from China enter our country?!

1:07:03 I mean is there no testing done at all? Are they just dumping their radioactive material into products and shipping them to us, it's like that's a handiwork. And now wonder what else there is if that...I mean that's just one item that they caught who knows what if that can get through because they're supposedly can pick up you know this minuscule amounts of radiation and if that can get through You know what I'm saying? Woah. Yeah, the place could be contaminated! No, what i'm saying is... Hey citizen time for everybody to wear a dosimeter Everybody should be wearing the dosimeter everywhere you go to see if you're not over radiated We're worried about these body scanners If the products from China are just shipping in I'm telling ya think about the scam like you've got nuclear energy like

1:07:52 Chingtao, what are we gonna do with this waste? I don't know. Bake it into the tissue holder! Send it to those stupid Americans! Yankee here you go! What a great way to get rid of your nuclear waste Yeah...I think its just a fantastic idea Well ya know It could be in all kinds of things What else? It could be in your iPhone for all you know It could be radioactive I dont use an iPhone for good reason Me neither Radioactive You dont want to hold on that at all I'm just saying yeah, well. It's not good news That's for sure no so see what else we got here uh? I do have if you want to take a little real news break I got a whole stand-up routine that I put together myself Okay Lot of these guys a lot of these politicians think they're funny yeah, so

CHAPTER 22 / 42 Discussion

John McCain Stand-up Comedy Routine and Uncle Don Jokes

A compilation of John McCain's recurring jokes from various speeches is presented as a mock stand-up routine. The jokes cover his time at the Naval Academy and his experience as a prisoner of war. This is followed by an anecdote about "Uncle Don" and a joke involving a Chinese spy's misunderstanding of American sports like football and baseball.

john mccain· stand-up comedy· jokes· naval academy· sports

1:08:52 John McCain's one of the worst. It's not as bad as that milk joke that Obama did. What kind of bomb was that? Yeah, but anyway it's... But John McCain when he gives speeches is always doing jokes and so I have a took one of his speech hour-and-a-half long speech and if i did about three minute compilation of all this material and then strung together as though it was stand up routine and uh... I thought be nice little break here So Nikki and Mitt know what's coming next, okay? There are two inmates in the chow line in the state prison. And one of them turns to the other one and says... The food was a lot better here when you were governor. Who are these A-holes who were laughing that long? Buncha veterans! That's crazy Some states ya can't tell that joke, Ann

1:09:57 Is there anyone here from Illinois? Our nation and the world stands in their everlasting debt. Myself, as you know I was able to intercept a surface-to-air missile with my own airplane which was no mean feat I was a McNamara's way of winning the war, as some of you may recall. And also I have to tell ya in a little straight talk here when I graduated from the Naval Academy I tried to get into the Marine Corps but my parents were married and so I'm sure that

1:10:45 So after I lost November of 2008, uh...I slept like a baby. Sleep two hours wake up and cry sleep two hours... Alright, I'll give him that one If you know I succeeded Barry Goldwater in the United States Senate and on election night when i was elected, Barry got a little nostalgic and he said you know John if I'd have been elected president 1964 and beaten Lyndon Johnson. He said You never spent all those years in a Vietnamese prison camp And I said your right Barry it would've been Chinese prison camp Anyway Right Ill be here all week

1:11:35 Yeah, that's pretty funny. I don't know you know it's like I wonder oh You know he these are the jokes by the way. I believe he tells all the time Oh yeah, no this is I've heard him tell the joke about getting his plane hitting a missile now No my uncle Uncle Don yeah now that he's uh He's like 84. I think he starting to repeat some of the jokes that I've heard all my life Yeah, but yes, if he has some pretty good ones though Tabajo you want me to tell the one we tell an Uncle Don joke. Oh, yeah I mean you should collect these jokes so this is the this is the Chinese and And they're They want to do some Some into there's some intelligence work of course intelligence joke right from uncle dawn some intelligence work they feel that They need to understand American sports

1:12:31 to really be able to infiltrate into America. So he sends his spy, and Uncle Don does all the accents I can't really do it, you know? It's like, You must go to America! And you must find out what sport they like so we can infiltrate them and understand the guy comes back and he says, ah yes bad Japanese accent. Yeah I don't know if it was Chinese...I'll just do my accent okay? Just pretend it's Uncle Don with a good Chinese accent. Yes Supreme Leader we have found there are two or three games they have one game called rootball football and with football they take egg made of pigskin and then they throw ball and run to other side

He miss and other man say shit to Bajo I know maybe we should have uncle Don on the show probably bring it h2 with you next time to see him record some of the jokes hey let's talk about Iran for a second yeah no i've got a theory here which one of our producers actually handed to me almost first of all

CHAPTER 23 / 42 Discussion

India and China Trading Oil for Gold with Iran

India and China are reportedly bypassing U.S. and EU sanctions by purchasing Iranian oil using gold instead of U.S. dollars. This shift is significant as these two nations account for 40% of Iran's oil exports. The hosts discuss how this move could potentially devalue the dollar while driving up the global price of gold.

iran· india· china· gold· oil sanctions

1:14:11 uh... the and i think if you look at the global picture and you see that uh... the elites are pretty much gearing up to crash the entire a global economy in you know i'd completely subside subscribe to that um... my thing fits in you believe parts of it you certainly think that uh... europe is going to fall apart but now with the most recent sanctions against the Central Bank of Iran, something very interesting is happening with my favorite precious metal. Here's the report India actually has already bought Iranian oil using gold instead of US dollars and this is extremely significant because every year, India actually spends 12 billion US dollars on Iranian oil. And now actually Beijing is also saying that it might want to jump onboard with New Delhi and also look into some sort of agreement with Iran to continue to get oil. New Delhi and Beijing actually account for 40%

1:15:10 20% of the imports of Iranian oil. The EU only counts for 20%. Obviously we've been talking about all week about this oil embargo that the EU announced on Monday, that they're hoping to roll out and put into place by July 1st. And obviously if New Delhi and Beijing find a way to continue trading with Iran using gold instead of US dollars this would severely hurt what the European Union and Washington is trying to do. Russia has also said it wants to continue trading with Iran using domestic currency and

1:16:01 potentially developing nuclear weapons. Take a memo, John. Remind our producers at Russia Today that they tell the talent to stop using the word obviously it's getting a little obvious if you know what I mean? Yeah it's pretty bad. So the result of this is that gold of course now popped over well over $1,700. If you and I were producing this and we wanted to destroy the entire economy and of course the US dollar to go along with it We'd love to have lots of gold for the new currency The new world currency The global money that will put in its place

1:16:41 And I think this is a ramp up and it makes a lot of sense because who in their right mind doesn't understand that when you close down the central bank of a country who, you know, trades in oil that's going to actually hurt the dollar and its going to increase the value of gold. Isn't this like a very simple obvious setup? I don't know... No Yeah It Is Here's what I think, here's the script I would run says we obviously want to screw over Iran for one reason or another. I think a lot of it's still payback from the time that they stole our embassy people, which was completely against all international law. We've never really done anything about that

1:17:24 You cut them off from being able to trade in the dollar by screwing their central bank with essentially an act of war. Force them to buy or sell their oil for gold and in the process jack up the price of gold at maybe $1800 Get them loaded up with the stuff and then pull the plug on the price of gold Sink, the price of gold which will screw them over They'll be end up selling their oil for less than cost because they're gonna be stuck with all this gold That's going to be worth less I think that would be much more interesting a plan. Now, see... See the reason you'll never listen to something like this because as far as your concerned gold is worth $5,000 an ounce and it's just underpriced No! I've never said that. I said 3,000 And i believe..I have some more data points here This is Kyle Bass

CHAPTER 24 / 42 Discussion

Obama Administration Strategy to Kill the Dollar

Investor Kyle Bass reports that a senior Obama administration official admitted the plan to grow U.S. exports involves "killing the dollar." Since the administration will not allow nominal wage deflation, currency devaluation is seen as the only remaining lever to make American goods competitive. The hosts analyze the implications of this policy on domestic savings and global trade.

kyle bass· dollar devaluation· exports· nominal wages· obama administration

1:18:20 investor who was interviewed just this past week and here he is talking about his discussion with an Obama administration official about what they're going to do to the dollar. How do you solve problem where your spending 10% of, your running at 10% fiscal deficit? You're not gonna get growth in the absence private sector credit demand So the government's idea right now is we're going to export our way out of this. And when I asked a senior member of the Obama administration last week, how are we going to grow exports if we won't allow nominal wage deflation? He says, We're just gonna kill the dollar. There you go! They're just gonna kill the dollar that is their plan John

1:19:05 Their plan is to kill the dollar. Their plan is to have lots of gold on hand, that's why I think that was down so much recently. Then why are we letting it accumulate in Iran? It makes no zero sense! What do you mean letting the gold accumulate? You'd think for a second there are actual enemy?! I think they're all playing under this same hat! Wait...Iran?? Yes!! Yeah, I'm not gonna buy that one Now let me tell you what's going happen next so of course uh... the script continues we have a ram threatening to close the straight-up hormones now that won't actually happen which i believe is bull crap and they've really was the real threat i don't think you know now they're not going to do it we need a false flag right which is why i have all those ships floater let's take a look at these ships and this is what uh... citizen see mike help me out with we have a particular ship

CHAPTER 25 / 42 Discussion

USS Enterprise and Potential False Flag in Hormuz

The USS Enterprise, an aging nuclear-powered aircraft carrier slated for decommissioning, has been deployed to the Straits of Hormuz. The hosts speculate that the ship's eight nuclear reactors make it a high-risk asset that could be used in a "false flag" operation to justify military action against Iran. Historical precedents like the USS Maine and the Gulf of Tonkin incident are discussed.

uss enterprise· straits of hormuz· false flag· nuclear reactor· navy

1:20:02 in the Straits of Hormuz. Now everyone's looking at the Abe Lincoln, but let's look at the big E This is the USS Enterprise which has also been sent to the Straits of Hormuz this ship is supposed to be decommissioned in the next 60 days it is an eight reactor nuclear ship do you know what it takes? To decommission 8 nuclear reactors and a ship like that Wouldn't it be kind of handy if we just blew that one up in the straights of our moves? Wouldn't that be and I thank you see Mike. You totally put me on to something I am so Believe in this now why else would you send this thing over there, but you don't like well

1:20:50 I can't answer that question. I mean, I don't think we're going to do a lot of air-to-air combat... No! We need a false flag and we've done this before and it's been admitted right? We've blown up our own ships to start stuff What was the most famous example? Well remember the Maine The Maine And then Nina, Pinto & Santa Maria weren't they all blown up? Weren't they all false flags? You broke up what were the other ones? Never mind it was bad joke No, we had... what was the other one? God is on my side. Come on! What was the other one it was a very famous one. With Eisenhower? Sorry?! Yeah come on as if there's a famous false flag

1:21:35 Well, there's a lot of famous false flags. I don't know the one during the Eisenhower administration The what had the Gulf of Tonkin? What was that ship that was during the Johnson administration That was in Vietnam and that was a yeah, it was the Lusitania Was that the Lusitania? No no, no, the Lusitania is like World War 1 the the Gulf of Tompkins it was a the It was a f- I don't know that we should actually s- That was an attack supposedly. I don't know that it was a ship sunk, let's take a look Yeah! I think the only thing left to do here is... That i think is what we need to do The USS Liberty? Is what the uh Well that was Pearl Harbor Well you're just mixing up one thing after another I have no idea The USS Maddox The Maddox? Hmm

1:22:30 I'm just messing it all up. I know yeah you are but anyway keep your eyes Maddox so the name is given to two separate confrontation when actual now realizes non-existent So it wasn't really a false flag was just bullshit There's a difference. I'm sorry, yeah. Well false flag bullshit... Yeah they blew the town up! You know there is no false flag it was just bull crap So what's the difference really? False flag bullshit is the same thing Both of them work fine for me Keep your eye on the USS Enterprise. It's also very symbolic because Captain Kirk, of course, piloted the Starship Enterprise. It would be the perfect ship for a false flag!

1:23:16 Well, that would be a nasty event. That's for sure! For one thing that thing is huge and if that was anywhere near the Gulf of Hormuz... It's in there! And it sunk there on fire or radioactive I mean it would be a disaster There's no way they're gonna try to pull that off That's way too complicated We don't kill everybody You think they would kill our own people? Nooooooo! There's no gambling going on here Yeah, don't get me started on that. I don't know...I was like whoa really? There's more where that came from! I'm not convinced they wouldn't like to do something like that but we have so many insane people right now John in our government so many insane maniacs This'll work

CHAPTER 26 / 42 Discussion

Economic Warnings from George Soros and Christine Lagarde

George Soros and IMF head Christine Lagarde have issued warnings about the potential for a global Great Depression and rising civil unrest in the United States. The hosts interpret these statements as "red book" predictions intended to allow these figures to claim foresight after an economic collapse occurs.

george soros· christine lagarde· imf· great depression· civil unrest

1:24:13 If they're beating up senators... We'd like to meet at some of these meetings? Holy mackerel. Oh wow! What are you crazy?! Can't do that. Sure we can, we can get away with it too let me show ya how Well the reason I'm just seeing all this ramping up we've got Christine Lagarde The Leatherhead is what I'll call her. You know, she's coming out and running around all over Europe saying well you know it would be very easy to slip into a great depression We've got Yeah, yeah we've got Soros saying we will have Anger rising on the streets of America is going to be inevitable I mean why do these people do this?

1:25:00 I think they do it because they're really low on the totem pole. I think they'd do it because they want to say, see? I told you so! I had it in the red book That's the only reason They just wanna be right So that they can emerge Yeah, because then Soros could give another best-selling book Yeah, so that they can emerge later and say See? I told ya' I called it baby I called it That's what...that's the only reason cause these people are idiots Meanwhile, it actually really is all happening in Europe. So a lot of people emailed me this NPR report... It was actually This American Life? Did you by any chance hear this? No. So NPR, National Treasure.

CHAPTER 27 / 42 Discussion

Eurozone Crisis and the Cleanest Dirty Shirt Meme

The Eurozone crisis is analyzed through the lens of a "This American Life" report and statements from PIMCO executives. A new financial meme, "the cleanest dirty shirt," is used to describe the U.S. economy's relative standing in a world of failing sovereign debt. The hosts suggest that Greek debt figures were manipulated by technocrats to trigger a controlled default.

greece· euro· pimco· sovereign debt· financial repression

1:25:50 Does a five-piece or as they call for the admin even called act one act two act three Act four act five As to why we should care about the euro here in America and it also not I'll give you a synopsis The way they laid out the story is of course what is completely true, that they changed all the money. Everyone had the Euro so of course Greece had the same money valued in the same way as the Germans had and countries like Greece and Portugal and Spain and Italy could go borrow lots of money at low interest rates And everybody did and everyone built crazy stuff and then soaked the EU Now we all agree on that

1:26:32 But what NPR says, and they don't actually answer this in the documentary or this piece which is the key question. Is how the Bureau of Standards and Statistics or whatever it's called in Greece How they had a new guy come in, a technocrat And he said hey wait a minute you guys do not have 7 1⁄2% debt You have 16% debt And the way NPR spins the story, which I think is a lie... Is that this guy came in and found the truth. What I think is this guy was sent to tell the lie!

1:27:12 And that maybe Greece never even had that horrible deficit. Because what they're saying is, everyone knew Greece was really bad Everyone just believed the numbers and never checked on it And said we'll deal with that later I think this was so set up years and years ago This was all meant to happen John It's going down The Euro might actually as you predict implode But it's going to result in the United States of Europe or Euro land as we like to call it I have a meme fest here from PIMCO. These are the guys who actually wrote all the bonds This is the co-founder of PIMCO right? PIMCO is the California company that basically does all the bond work, right they arrange for all these loans through sovereign bonds isn't that how it works and

1:28:02 I'm no, but yes. But I don't know the company personally. It's a global investment company. I didn't know that they're in California? Yes North Beach and well, yeah, they're in Newport Beach. Okay, I do know who they are Well NPR actually says that they're the ones that wrote out all of the bonds For for Greece and then they sold all their bonds the minute this happened And that's what made everything basically topple in dominoes So there put their blaming this squarely on Pimco based upon this technocrat who came in and whoever one says oh he was telling the truth but I think the guys a shill came in to tell the lie is

1:28:41 and it may not be 16% and now PIMCO, this guy comes out with a meme fest about the euro which is just too funny. Yeah I think so you know changing the laws ex post is pretty significant event but whether they change the law or not I think Ali Greece's gonna default whether explicitly or covertly via what they call voluntary agreements with creditors. I think what's important for investors to consider is that Greek haircuts are just an extreme form of ongoing solutions within Euroland and other developed country financial markets, primarily in Euroland. And creditors are going to get haircuts via either principal loss in Greece or negative real interest rates in what we call the cleanest dirty shirt countries." I love this! So not only is he using Euroland over and over again which we love to use but the new term is

1:29:34 the dirtiest no the cleanest dirtiest shirt what the hell was it when he said and you play again let me listen again their principal loss in Greece or negative real interest rates and what we call the cleanest dirty shirt the cleanest dirty shirt that's America by the way where the cleanest dirty shirt this is a great meme I think you're gonna hear like this guy's good the cleanest dirty shirt so he saying that basically the whole world is going to come crumbling down because even the cleanest dirty shirt which be the United States bond by the time your bond matures at its you know one or two percent interest rate, which is the money you make inflation will have gone up so you basically are a negative in your investment. This is financial repression and multitude of forms it's gonna be with us for years to come Years to come

CHAPTER 28 / 42 Discussion

Currency Devaluation and the Failure of the Euro

The structural flaws of the Euro are discussed, specifically the inability of countries like Greece, Spain, and Italy to devalue their currency to remain competitive. The hosts recall the transition from local currencies like the Guilder and Lira to the Euro, noting the immediate and massive inflation that occurred. They predict that Italy may be the next major economy to face a default.

italy· portugal· spain· currency devaluation· lira

1:30:30 Well, I see Greece first and it could be a month or two before they give up the ghost and depart the zone. Give up the ghost? I love this guy! And you know it's hard to pick on certain countries but we know who they are Now listen to the countries. We know who they are, well there's only one he doesn't mention Portugal Spain perhaps These are countries Ali that can't get out from under the burden of a currency from which they can't devalue Basically in Spain and Portugal and Greece their labor markets are extremely overvalued And typically what a country does is basically

1:31:11 devalue its currency in order to make their products more competitive. They can't do that because the currency is controlled by Germany and the euro is still relatively strong. Yeah, thank you for that history lesson in economics He doesn't mention Italy which leads me to believe that Italy is the one that's on the brink In fact Italy has now come out and said they need a trillion euros And this guy doesn't mention him, so that to me is very fishy. Well there's something that has been fishy about Italy since the beginning of the promotion of the euro. When they did their exchange of euros per lira they didn't do the math right

1:31:59 So everything immediately became more costly in Italy in such a weird way that I always thought that, I've always found it to be quite fishy. Things weren't cheap there anymore. It was just the whole economy was just switched over to this like everything's like all of a sudden everything the United States costing like 30% more just overnight for no reason. Well a lot of countries did that you know the Netherlands we saw this I was living there at the time and when they switched to the euro from the guilder and at the time i think it was pegged two guilders to the euro so you would buy cucumber for 2 guilders in the next day walked into store and it's like 2 euros, what? They just put a Euro sign front everything everyone knows it everyone knows this is what went on it was nuts I mean coffee

1:32:45 Like five euros for a coffee, which is ten guilders you tell people it's like I can't believe I'm buying a cup of coffee for 10 Guilder's It's just that happened. It happened here in bonair and happen at the Last year when they'd when they went to the dollar same thing It's just everyone put a dollar sign in front of it. Okay, and they were using guilders here too! No no no... This is how you screw up the world I think this really? This thing has been going on for a long long time 1956 it was planned and its coming home to roost And their gonna pull if off John Their actually gonna pull it off Yeah but what do they accomplish Just screw everybody If your got all the money and power The only thing left to do is watch the slaves grovel in the dirt

CHAPTER 29 / 42 Discussion

Listener Donations and Karma Requests

The hosts read a series of donations from listeners, including several "palindrome" amounts. Listeners request "karma" for various life events, such as motorcycle exams, new jobs, and upcoming births. One donor compares the show's fundraising to an MDA telethon, prompting a discussion on the show's financial transparency and the "value-for-value" model.

Texas Unclaimed Property and State Refunds

A listener from Dallas, Texas, discovered $54.12 in unclaimed property from a previous energy provider and donated the proceeds to the show. This prompts the hosts to encourage all listeners to search their respective state databases for forgotten funds. Adam Curry attempts to search the New Jersey database during the show, leading to a discussion on the legitimacy of these state-run sites.

Closing Donations and No Agenda Super PAC

The final set of donations for the episode is acknowledged, including contributions from Amsterdam and Iowa. The hosts remind listeners that they can send physical checks or use automated bank payment systems to support the show. The idea of forming a "No Agenda Super PAC" for the 2016 election cycle is briefly revisited as a potential project.

1:43:57 Bozeman's Sporting Goods in Wilmington, North Carolina. Beautiful state and probably a great store. And Peter Tote's from Parts Unknown for $50. That will be our donors for today's show 377.

1:44:48 There's a state property ID. I've got an EID number, property type not disclosed reported by... Why is it not disclose? That's really weird. Might actually be real property So if the name listed is a deceased relative or friend Okay now all right so yes I can claim I can claim click this is exciting and I have to do a state claim inquiry Okay, well I'll do that after the show. This could be something screwy with yours...I've never seen that before usually there's just a mount there and then you have to go through the rigamarole either getting it straightened some of these processes involves getting a notarized signature. You know what's gonna happen? I'm gonna fill out my information and then they're gonna come and get me!

1:45:31 Is they probably like you owe money mother? You owe money. I'm not gonna feel this out It's a funny idea, i admire your paranoia but that's not to... This operation wouldn't do that They don't play that game that I know of it's great idea maybe give them an idea It was like the phony lottery you won the lottery come by and pick it up And then they arrest you I'm worried about this see if they want my first name middle name current address Duh My and my social security number this can't yeah, it's can't be good. You sound like my mother Thank you my mother did one of these things she had like a hundred bucks from some stock or something and she refused to fill out anything She thought I was in that whole thing was a giant scam the getter Did your mom like go around and tell people to get off her lawn? Oh

1:46:24 My mom's deceased by the way for anyone who knows, I'm not making fun of the living. It's more fun to make fun of the dead! My mom always would tear... she had these houses and she'd tear the lawn out and put in this just as well these horrible shrubs that are just like invasive essentially. So no, she never told people to get off the line because if you guys stepped in there you'd be stuck in there. You're like I'm stuck in here! I can't get out! They're like bear traps and stuff uh one note from Jennifer hi John and Adam I'm hoping you can give my fabulous husband Gary some karma for a new job he starts on Monday it took over a year to find a good fit and I'm hoping it will be a rewarding change

1:47:05 He also celebrates his 51st birthday on Thursday. He shows infinite patience when I try and propagate the formula to our friends, which of course is always tough. Your show has completely changed the way we watch and read the news, and while it made us angrier people... We'd much rather have the well lifted- Oh! I'm sorry. We'd much rather have the veil lifted. Keep up the great work says Jennifer so yes of course would be happy to do that You've got karma. And we'll go right into this! It's your birthday, birthday on no agenda So we'll start off with Jennifer congratulating her husband with his birthday, his 51st and of course he just got some brand new job karma Jonathan Carpenter congratulating in advance his baby Cannon Carpenter due at the end of the month and Rory Stone

1:47:58 Uh, gives himself a big happy birthday wish. He turns 25 today! Happy Birthday on behalf of all your buddies here at the No Agenda Show! And one more time to program your brain because we really need all the help we can get... Because we just can't do a telethon And I want to remind people, we should and I wonder if my dad just in a indirect it at our friend. I want to remind people that if you go to the bark org slash any there is a mailing address for people who hate PayPal or they want to use some other system where they just want to send a check You know Or they want to do a lot of people have gone new to their banks and make they do this payment system The bank's send a check to us

1:48:40 every week, every month, every whatever. And it doesn't cost anything and there's such a cheap service that the banks pay for the postage and everything it just about time payment system is very interesting all the banks do it I think if you have online banking you can do as well right? Yeah! And they'll just mail the check in that there's an address at Dvorak dot org slash NA or noagendasuperpacked.com That is a very important address to remember NoahJendasuperpack.com, help us out with our 2016 bid! Are we still in the running for that? We should probably set a super pack up Yeah I mean is it tax-free? yeah really you have to spend it on education though I think which means buying ads well we can buy ads for people to give us money rules I'm just saying just a thought

CHAPTER 32 / 42 Discussion

MegaUpload Bust and the OPEN Act Smokescreen

The legal troubles of MegaUpload and the withdrawal of attorney Robert Bennett are discussed. The hosts argue that the focus on SOPA and PIPA was a distraction from the "OPEN Act" and technical changes to the DNS system (DNSSEC). They suggest that the true power to censor the internet lies in the technical infrastructure managed by ICANN rather than legislative bills.

megaupload· open act· sopa· pipa· dnssec

1:49:43 Hey, MegaUpload.com lost their Robert Bennett, Clinton's defense attorney I guess that news wasn't supposed to leak out and you know he defended Clinton and McNamara and they all of a sudden came out said oh no we've got a conflict of interest We can't represent Mega Upload Yeah right what conflict of interest? Yeah, right. I know isn't funny what what possible conflict of interest are we talking about? They won't tell us And now everyone's saying, yeah man the reason why MegaUpload.com got busted is because they were coming out with an iTunes competitor Yeah! Oh yeah right That would have worked People really don't know how the music business works do they? They really don't understand Apparently not no I mean and you're gonna hear this You're gonna hear people speak with such high authority about oh yeah cause they had this great system it was a complete iTunes killer that's why they got busted No

1:50:45 They got busted to show you a lesson. And by the way, let me congratulate you John on being completely right about the OPEN Act that now being pushed push the forefront as predicted SOPA PIPA was just a smokescreen to bring out open and in the background this DNSSEC thing that is very troubling to me Have you been following the secure DNS? So, the secure DNS system... The way it's supposed to work is this is going to work with certificates. With security certificates and we all know that there has been a couple of problems particularly in Gitmo Nation Lowlands where the certificates, the Dutch government certificates had been hacked by whoever knows who did it but they were hacked so certificates are problem because you have to trust the person or entity, the company that is issuing the certificate

1:51:35 So the way it works is when you type in like noagendasuperpack.com, it's going to do a lookup on a DNS server but its going to do it in a secure fashion if it doesn't get a proper key then will try the next one and the next one and the next one goes down the line until finally gets a real authoritative DNS server that has the proper key which is hackable What happened just recently is Just to show how bad the system actually is. I think it's a single point of failure now NASA gov on the day of the sopa pipa, you know explosion Everyone on Comcast could not get to nasa.gov because someone had misconfigured their key So therefore if you are in Comcast you couldn't get to nasa.gov

1:52:24 So it just shows you that the real power is all in ICANN, it's all in the DNS system. And I think people are just being misled! Everyone's running around looking at all these bills and everything... It doesn't mean anything! The technical infrastructure is being changed as we speak and we've got to see who's going to replace Rod Beckstrom at the ICANN because that will be the shill that's gonna completely push it through. You know your genius of seeing the Open Act as the next one? We've got Kaiko, which is another act. What does that stand for? Kaiko... That's the uh... That's another blacklist combating online infringement and counterfeit act

1:53:05 Yeah, and there's also the one I think where the real damage is gonna take place. Is the The child the pornography child for now anti-child pornography bill which that you can slip anything into that because no one can say anything That's the scam right as you create a pornography kitty point in particular not just pornography and if anybody objects to it You're obviously a pro. You're a pornographer, they are pervert or something. Even though it may have some defense appropriation for all you know So, especially when they're named certain you know the naming of the bills to give away that's a fraud right? Well there are lots of links in the show notes which is part of the service we give to you 377.nashownotes.com You can read all about because Comcast actually released a very detailed report of what happened and it was I guess pretty much legitimate mistake

CHAPTER 33 / 42 Discussion

Anish Chopra and Internet Policy Principles

Anish Chopra, the U.S. Chief Technology Officer, is criticized for using corporate buzzwords to describe "internet policy principles." The hosts link Chopra to Vivek Kundra and discuss their history in Washington D.C. and Virginia government. They argue that the administration's "voluntary" industry standards are a move toward greater government control over the internet economy.

anish chopra· vivek kundra· white house· oecd· internet policy

1:53:57 That some techno expert made So the key wasn't double signed with the old key or whatever, but then you see how it works Then all of a sudden it's like Comcast one of the largest ISPs in Gitmo nation Proper here just refused to resolve to NASA gov. So it's showing you where the true power is and it's not in these bills It's a technical thing that's going to happen Okay Yeah more good news So I was listening to, I had clipped this before but i had to bring it back up because every time...I realized that I was always talking about Vivek Kundra as being full of crap. But his buddy and they'd hang out together who hired him because

1:54:50 It was Anish Chopra. And essentially when Kundra was running the Washington DC CTO thing, he hired Anish and then when Anish got the job as a CIO or CTO whatever the hell he is in Washington working for Obama He hired Vivek I mean so they would hire each other. And let us point out that when Vivek Kundra Was running...I think it was running Virginia It was his guys who were looking at the president's passport records. Remember that? It was HIS GUYS! So he was involved in all of that, so he is an important dude which is now why he's... Where is he? Didn't get some high-flying job at uh... ummm.... Ahhhh what's the...?

1:55:33 Salesforce salesforce.com yeah, he's a vice president of international sales or something it says whatever It's asking has some something to miss with that So I took a couple clips here where he's talking about one thing or another and he's all giddy about Obama Michelle Obama getting at Twitter account Yeah, I want to play these two things in it just listen to this this guy. I realize he's just easy I got it worse than the other guy. Wait a minute, you have two clips. I had the wrong one. Yeah, I got Michelle Obama on Twitter which i think is funny and the other one was like... Alright which one do you know first? Michelle Obama. Now, a more fun subject. Michelle Obama just started tweeting recently President Obama already tweets is this something that you encourage or is this all Michelle? Oh well the country is finding new and creative ways to communicate and we like every other member of our society wish to have that conversation where people are

1:56:27 I'm a member of Twitter, I've got an account at Anish Chopra. Would love to get your engagement We have accounts on other social media systems because we want to open up our government make it easier for folks both to know what's happening in Washington and as well hear from the American people in new and creative ways Huh? He knows all these buzzers... Engagement, Folks, All this stuff The guy should be working for Microsoft! Just a flimflammer but play this Wait a minute, I think our people should tweet him Say I'd like to engage with you. This guy's an idiot Yes, yeah playing the way if you think he is an idiot there play this clip Which is what? Is this guy saying because and then tell me when you're done listening to it what he said

1:57:13 There are voluntary measures today to reduce the economic benefits accruing to illegal internet pharmacies. There are voluntary transactions today, to better educate consumers on how and what they're doing if they were to visit one of these sites that are known in the spirit of the DMCA where you are basically found to have potentially taken information that you shouldn't have. So we have today's internet economy accepts voluntary industry standards activities to move forward on these key policy issues be it privacy, intellectual property and piracy

1:57:50 By the way, we are on record for this. In fact part of the responsibility I have for the president is to unleash a set of internet policy principles in conjunction with countries affiliated with OECD in June of this past year We have embarked on a global effort 34 countries have endorsed a set of internet policy principles that engage in the openness of the internet while bringing people together in a voluntary industry standards consensus driven model to make progress on these policy important priorities for the country and world. I just threw up in my mouth It's like every buzzword imaginable. It's like that video of those two douchebags trying to convince this guy to invest in the company Yeah, exactly I was missing the attack vector dashboard That's the only thing that he didn't throw in there You looked at the dashboard But internet policy principle What the hell does that even mean? The chatroom disagrees with my DNS statement but that's what I think he is alluding too He's like you know the DNS sec thing

CHAPTER 34 / 42 Discussion

Obama Religious Conversion and Atheism Claims

A clip of President Obama discussing his conversion to Christianity at age 30 is analyzed. The hosts cite reports from the "Alsterman Report" claiming that the Obamas are actually atheists who mock religious voters in private. They suggest the President's public religious stance is a political necessity rather than a sincere belief.

barack obama· christianity· atheism· prayer breakfast· alsterman report

1:58:54 Everyone think this is great. He's a show president idiot. He's really bad Anyway, that's my little aside for the I have another one and then I picked up that this was one that actually dug up from an old talk that Obama gave at a prayer meeting and I just thought it was kind of peculiar because of the There's a piece of information here. That was kind of interesting me but play the oh, but there's Obama talking to a Christian group and Talking about how he's such a Christian And it but he's got a little factoid in here that I thought was unusual or hold on a second. I started

1:59:34 Well, early let me try again and it was through that experience working with pastors and lay people trying to heal the wounds of hurting neighborhoods That I came to know Jesus Christ for myself And embrace him as my lord and savior Yeah Now that was over 20 years ago. Yeah, yeah, that's when i quit too late 20 years ago So how old is this guy? He's like what Obama he's 47 no, I know. He's 50 then you just have his 15th birthday at 50 You're right 50 so at the age of 30 he had his come-to-Jesus most at the age of 30 because that did most

2:00:19 Christians that I know and most religious Americans, they were kind of raised in some church or other. There's not that many at the age of 30 who are agnostic or go to Harvard with all this high education which reconfirms basic atheism which is what Obama would believe it is And so you graduate from college, you're like 22 years old. You go to work and do all this stuff and then eight years later your 30 and now? You convert out of the blue?! This is bullcrap! I've been following the White House and Wall Street Insider from the Alsterman report... ...and one thing was made explicitly clear

2:00:59 that and everyone in the Democratic Party knows it, that the Obamas are atheists but they actually behind closed doors laugh about all the religious nuts. They actually laugh about them and make jokes is like a punchline for them Oh I didn't surprise me I don't know if you hang out with enough... If you hang out with atheists that's what they do yeah some of them don't but lot of them do But they think it's hilarious. Oh, that guy is a religious nut! Yeah... What a kook! Speaking of the insider so you know I'm following all this stuff right? Anyway so I know you're following it So I don't have to. That's right You don't have to well there's a lot of googling because and again this may all be disinfo but It's very very interesting And then that could be just yeah they could be what would be the point of it being disinfo To keep us busy

CHAPTER 35 / 42 Discussion

ShoreBank and the Obama Campaign Finance Scam

ShoreBank, a Chicago-based institution now known as Urban Partnership Bank, is alleged to be a "whitewashing" operation for political funds. The bank, which received bailout money and has a presence in Islamabad, Pakistan, is linked to the Obama administration. The hosts suggest that campaign donations are being funneled through such institutions to bypass standard financial oversight.

shorebank· urban partnership bank· money laundering· islamabad· campaign finance

2:01:52 Maybe people just do this... keeping you busy. Yeah, just like hey listen I got that idiot curry to Google for another day what a douche! So now Ulsterman talks to the Wall Street insider who of course is referring to everything the White House insider said And this is about the campaign finance scam. So, last time we left off We had this very important election in California for Attorney General and we had all of Feinstein's campaign money stolen Right? Yeah! What The Wall Street Insider is doing is pointing towards an entity formerly known as Shore Bank Now, Shore Bank went bust I think 2010

2:02:39 I have all these links in the show notes so again, you don't have to go through the trouble of googling all of this. But Shore Bank was originally located in Chicago Obama's been involved with Shore Bank for over 20 years and I believe that Shore Bank is the whitewashing operation So not only did they receive money from the bailout but they're also of course fully insured by the FDIC, but they went bust in 2010 and became the Urban Partnership Bank.

2:03:17 So, and they were acquired by...and this is what's kind of interesting. The investors here they come American Express Bank of America Citigroup Ford Foundation GE Capital JP Morgan Chase Key Communication Development Corp Morgan Stanley Northern Trust PNC Investment Goldman Sachs Wells Fargo And former First Chicago executives who joined ShoreBank in recent months who of course continue to run the bank Now, here's what is really interesting. They have a very large presence in Islamabad Pakistan. Well let me ask you the question before you continue and I hope to get the answer as you continue Why did President Clinton describe Abshore Bank as the most important bank in America? Because it's the whitewashing bank! That's how money flows It flows through that bank right into their personal accounts

2:04:14 These are the guys that do it. And of course we know that Obama's working for Bush and Clinton, there is nothing new there so its a round robin This is how it works. And these guys got bailout money, so the money goes out on one side and comes out through donations to the other side, donations to the campaign... It's all going through again! We have a guy who worked with me, remember I mentioned Pamela Geller? Who was looking at all of this donation from the campaign financing scam around Obama that kind of went away. He has a database

2:04:52 of all the institutions that were giving Obama money and everyone was just trying this out. They were like using European cards, trying to donate money to the Obama campaign but also to the McCain campaign. The McCain campaign would refuse a European credit card. Obama's campaign no problem accepted anybody as a Brit you could go in there and just donate money and it would just go right through This was all hushed up But this is really, I mean i have no other news than this. I throw it out there and I'm hoping we'll get some more of our producers on the trail of what's going on but this Urban Partnership Bank who have a large presence in Islamabad where you can also just go and deposit money! And look at all the guys who are running this joint...the shareholders Yeah, its pretty alarming actually

2:05:55 Well, it's alarming that no one else is... yeah you just sent the picture to me. It was the most important bank in America that nobody heard of. Yeah. Now you just... Community development financial institutions... No! Stop at that stop with that what does that mean? Nothing. You know it means they get government money dude All right, dude. Dude! Dude! They get government money dude. That's the beauty of it that's the beauty of it co-founders and affiliates have received numerous awards and honors including from them and why would you list this?

CHAPTER 36 / 42 Discussion

Banker Influence and the IMF Buildings in D.C.

The physical proximity of the IMF, World Bank, and Federal Reserve buildings in Washington D.C. is highlighted as evidence of the "bankers' surrounding the center of power." The hosts discuss the massive scale of these underground facilities and speculate on how pallets of cash from conflict zones like Iraq and Afghanistan might be laundered back into the U.S. political system.

imf· world bank· federal reserve· washington dc· money laundering

2:06:37 the chicagoland chamber of commerce and governor ted cooling goski of oregon where they got a look into mhm the insider goes on to say couple things first of all if you look at whether washington dc based offices it is right almost next to the treasury so uh... he here's kind of conclusion uh... that by the way their slogan i have it here somewhere their slogan is of the Urban Partnership Bank, formerly known as Shorebank. Building an inclusive global financial system. So what these guys are trying to point out is that if you look at G Street in Washington DC

2:07:30 You'd start around 19th and you'd walk and of course, you can't walk straight across because you walk right into the White House But you'd walk across it on the other side around 13th and G on one hand. Do you have? The IMF which by the way is not one building It's two IMF buildings you have imf1 imf2 of which 30% of these buildings is underground There's thousands of people working there. You've got the World Bank those two buildings alone are larger than the White House and the Treasury combined. Just to give you an idea, And then on the other side You've got The Treasury The Federal Reserve AND this Urban Partnership Bank

2:08:14 So the point they're making is that the bankers who truly want to run the world are just surrounding our center of power. By the way, it was bigger than The White House, The Capitol and The Treasury combined! I mean these buildings are enormous go look at on Google Earth They're huge That doesn't really give us any more uh-huh but wow You know, this is where I think... you put all these things together. All these little dots you take, you know douchebag lagarde. It sounds like some sort of a like an elaborate money laundering operation reminds me all those banks in Florida that

2:08:57 that were doing so well during the cocaine cowboy era and then wants to crack down on it. Bank after bank after bank went out of business! But think about it, we've got pallets of money going over to Afghanistan, those are moved right into Pakistan and then they're deposited into the bank and from there they go buy ads for the president It seems like a perfect operation to me. Well, it sounds like a good idea I mean we remember that in Iraq there's not- this is not a new concept There was palace building and we lost what? 2 or 3 billion dollars of cash money Yeah That went straight to Iraq and then disappeared And everyone thinks its just a bunch of corruption In Iraq Who says that didn't they come right back through money transfers coming back through one of these systems This is pretty elaborate

2:09:43 And you got the president, and you got Bill Clinton and all these guys talking about what a great operation this is. You've got Obama as part of it... You can get away with anything! And they are! And how does a Clinton I was listening to something about their bitch in the morning about Romney's 41 million dollar income or 25 million dollar income where there's four guys is 20-something They're saying well good Bill Clinton last year made and I think the number was like 76 million dollars Doing what? Yeah payoff, dude We're getting Mark Rich out of jail. Letting him go run the largest oil company in the world. Rich, yeah. Yeah, Mark Rich? Yeah, Mark Rich. He pardoned him? I'm sure that he owes Clinton big time. Oh yeah! Well we're on the owing topic here. Our favorite techno expert is getting his payback Do you remember our friend Waleed Ghonim

CHAPTER 37 / 42 Discussion

Wael Ghonim Book Deal and Julian Assange on RT

Wael Ghonim, the Google executive associated with the Egyptian revolution, has secured a major book deal, which the hosts view as a "payoff." Similarly, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange is launching a talk show on Russia Today (RT). The hosts criticize the quality of RT's programming and the perceived co-opting of these figures by mainstream or state-run media.

wael ghonim· julian assange· russia today· egypt revolution· book deal

2:10:47 I tried to forget that one.

CHAPTER 38 / 42 Discussion

New York Times Messaging and the iPad Human Cost

The New York Times front-page coverage is analyzed for its political messaging, including a focus on Obama's "long run" economic goals. Other stories discussed include the human cost of iPad manufacturing in China and the Federal Reserve's decision to keep interest rates at zero. The hosts suggest these stories are timed to influence stock prices and public perception of the administration.

new york times· apple· ipad· china· federal reserve

2:14:43 yeah i wanted to come up these are interesting there's a messaging going on that i want to talk about uh... the wednesday paper a big huge picture of obama making it look like he's reading his speech from my notes because it's an over snow for this shoulder shot down onto the podium right and it takes at most to the front page as a huge photo and with a message on the rights in obama sets goal of economy built for the long run this is part of that mean again To long run means you have to re-elect him. But I've heard, when was it? A couple weeks ago Chelsea Lately

2:15:21 which uh... mickey really likes to watch a chelsea lately joseph harry yeah i'm happy that tell me about it and uh... and she said exactly that you said would do all the reelect obama because he deserves shot to finish what he started your soul right about that mean that is the entire campaign right there you're completely right Well, if they bust it up by pointing it out and man you know kind of slamming the meme I think because Obama's tried memes before and then they get they usually get busted by John Stewart or Colbert Yeah, but no one cares. No one cares its comedy They laugh god that people who care are the people in Washington who say oh And then they decide to try something different That's the point is not like the public cares what the only ones got off looking at them right?

2:16:08 We're the only people that actually care. And we're not talking to that many of them! We are the only people who actually care. So, uh... and then there's a little just above the fold very small this is for Romney's friendly code reduces taxes which is the tax meme to blast Romney to get him off the ticket Then there was a little Egypt action on the front, but it's nothing new. Then today's paper, this morning's paper has an Egypt picture on the top of the fold with a bunch of people yelling and they're yelling up in... It's a funny picture because everyone is yelling and they're yelling into the air. They are yelling at about let's see

2:16:51 is like if you're standing in front of a 20-story building, your head's lifted and you're yelling to the 15th story of the building. So I don't know what they're yelling at? Are they yelling at a plane flying overhead? I have no idea but they are yelling about something and it says that a year later Fishers show in Egypt's incomplete revolution And then the other two headlines in China, the human costs that are built into the iPad. They're blasting China over the iPad trying to knock this stock of Apple down so they can get in and feds vowed keep rates near zero until late 2014 which I talked about earlier on the show and this is a important meme apparently Is there any news on Syria? In The New York Times

CHAPTER 39 / 42 Discussion

Scottish Independence Referendum and UK Economy

A buried story in the New York Times regarding a Scottish referendum for independence is brought to light. The hosts discuss the potential economic impact of Scotland breaking away from the UK, noting that Scotland contributes significantly more to the British economy than is commonly reported, particularly through oil revenue.

2:17:38 I haven't seen it. There was something in one of these two papers... Oh, it hasn't been approved! No, still not approved. It still hasn't been approved? Nope. There's a bunch of stuff about there is good article on A12 and apparently the second guy has developed an H5N1 flu which is a problem And then this is the news story that I think is somewhat suppressed We haven't even talked about it But this is on A8, top of the fold. You've got some guy in a kilt and a bare breast with his uh... written on his breast is lipstick it looks like. Let me vote! Scottish leader sets timeline for referendum on independence Oh!

Well hold on a second no i had...I saw an article let me see maybe not financially probably they might no wait whatever the case is then look scott's one out and this has not been reported anywhere this times articles the first time i've seen mention of it and its on A8 if we start moving forward to the front page we got situation on our hands im looking now Because I remember there was an article that i was reading and maybe it was on Anger Fan, but they broke it down by what Scotland actually brings into the UK. And I was blown away! It's like huge! Oh man...I wish I could find that. Let me see.... Maybe we'll have something left to discuss in the next show But this is definitely homework

2:19:30 uh... yeah we will take a look at the other scottish situation in depth and see what they have really going on yet because there is a big deal for you even know it before the public even gets wind of it is like to buried story it's would but as very in such a way that is i'm so very certain suspicious I'm gonna look, because I remember picking this story up. I remember looking at it and going hey that's interesting but this was way before this whole Scotland wants to break away from the UK thing and that is a huge deal! That is very very big but of course they've been kept dumb you know? And everyone has to think the Scots are dumb we have a lot of listeners in Gitmo Nation East which Scotland still belongs... You watch

Joe Paterno Death and Military Drills in Los Angeles

The death of Penn State coach Joe Paterno is briefly mentioned in the context of his legacy and the Sandusky scandal. This is followed by a report on unannounced military training exercises involving helicopters in downtown Los Angeles. The hosts suggest these drills are preparations for potential civil unrest rather than standard training.

Absolutely By our standards and then the one that I say has saved the best for last headline From KFIAM in Los Angeles, joint military training exercises will be held evenings in downtown Los Angeles through Thursday including military helicopters. Please don't be worried this is just a drill there will be uh... military personnel involved I think they're gearing up for the unrest that has been called for

Riots exactly Yeah from the earthquake No I think they're getting ready for something else but uh i don't think it's appropriate to have military exercises in civilian areas Don't we have like a whole thing against that not since the national defense authorization bill.

2:25:49 You hear about More than new gingrich you'll hear about Romney being half black and I think we have a no agenda producer update Let me see. Uh, I don't know we may not I don't know. Yeah, you should always listen to the stream There's always good stuff there yeah alright And then I will be back Sunday for the show and we'll have good connectivity in More media assassination, please help us out think of us giving is loving and the best way to love is to donate I think in their hours that go into it. No you're getting a lot of hours from this I mean what today's show two-and-a-half hours Well, that's just the time that I spend on the air forget about all the other time I'm spending yeah, I'd have to spend the whole day in advance of the show Yeah, well right who cares? It's a crisis we can't we will be flying drones. That's our next are good. Yeah

2:26:45 All right, coming to you from a little place just 60 clicks north of Hugo Chavez's HALO Presidente Studios and trying to enjoy some of that liquid sunshine here on the Isle of Bonaire. In the morning everybody I'm Adam Curry And from Northern Silicon Valley where I remain, I am John C. Dvorak We will be back with you on Sunday right here on NO Agenda So we got people like Newt Gingrich and I have gotten some inside information about Newt Gingrich. And i have a strange suspicion the reason why newt is so erratic uh and unpredictable uh, Is that...I believe that Newt Gingrich's father was a liberal educated black man

2:27:44 I do. You know, because he was raised by his stepfather and we'll get to that in just a moment. I believe that Newt Gingrich's real father was a liberal but educated black man because Newts real name is Newton Leroy Macpherson That's when he was born. He was born Newton Leroy McPherson. Now listen, nobody on the planet names their children Leroy except black people just like nobody on the planet names their sons Hector except Hispanic people you're nobody you just don't yeah if your name is Hector everybody know somewhere down the line you you Hispanic homie but if we do have that hey Leroy... Nobody on the planet

2:28:37 except black people name their children Leroy. Now Newton's, that's why I call him and that's why he so erratic and unpredictable. Newt, I suspect has a black liberal father. Newton Leroy McPherson is how he was born. What? Your mama He's calling you man. Alright, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay? All right so You may have it now, but I mean all that these candidates cuz I want to Mitt Romney his name is Willard Willard! I think that he's probably the son of a psycho and That's why he acts the way he acts

2:29:33 So, if you vote for... and I believe that Willard has some black blood in him too. If you watch Mitt Romney—his name is Willard Mitt Romney—and of course his father somewhere down the line, I think that the Romneys' wives got in bed with the sleeping car porters on them long train trips from Michigan to Chicago, of Chicago to Boston. Remember the A. Philip Randolph group and all this? The sleeping car porters when the aviation

2:30:13 and age took over. And these politicians and wealthy people's wives used to take these long train rides from Chicago to LA, and these sleeping car porters didn't have anything to do with it. The women were bored. It was a four-day train ride. And Leroy, you know the black sleeping car porter? Leroy and Willard they were there serving coffee and tea with their white jackets and that black pass on and Mrs. Romney and Mrs. McPherson took him in the sleeping car, these black men in a sleeping car! And so I'm here to tell you now that

2:30:52 If Newt became president, we'd have another half-black president. And if Willard became president we would have a second—a third half black president! And if Willard becomes president and he chooses Newt as his vice, we'll have a first—we'll have a second black president and a first half-black president and a first half-black vice president because I believe both of these men got black blood in their veins. Now, you know I'm saying this satirically but i truly do believe that! I do...I DO!...I Do and I can find people in America right now who can verify what we need to if you want a I mean probably have someone do this for me but I could find people in America right now who could verify that there are whole lot of men

2:31:51 who are in the conservative and the liberal, who are in the lesser intelligent democratic or the dumb blank. Or in the conservative cursed color struck region whose father way back when going back to 1930s was a black man? That's right put that in your pipe and smoke it for awhile I'm James David Manning Obama ain't the only one that's been miscegenated or as a product of it. Hey citizen, what Obama is behind whooping whooping whooping whooping whooping whooping the Constitution!
