About this episode

Defense Secretary Leon Panetta confirms the President of the United States maintains sole authority to authorize drone strikes against American citizens labeled as terrorists. This expansion of executive power coincides with Senator Dianne Feinstein’s public defense of CIA Director David Petraeus, signaling an internal power struggle between the White House and intelligence agencies. Meanwhile, the Baltic Dry Index has plummeted to a thirty-year low, echoing the economic warning signs that preceded the 2008 global financial crisis.

In Europe, Nigel Farage faces a microphone cutoff in the European Parliament after comparing German influence to historical regional leaders, while Herman Van Rompuy fast-tracks a new fiscal treaty to enforce irrevocable economic integration. Domestic reports highlight federal clean energy failures, including a three-billion-dollar loan guarantee to First Solar and the bankruptcy of five firms receiving billions in taxpayer assistance. Additionally, Australian MP Anthony Albanese is caught in a plagiarism scandal after delivering a speech mirrored word-for-word from the 1995 film The American President.

Lucas de Heuvel and Sir Christopher Lawton receive executive producer honors as the program navigates PayPal subscription failures and rising propane costs in rural Austin. Adam Curry recounts a vivid dream regarding atmospheric surveillance while John C. Dvorak tracks the collapse of global shipping metrics. The segment concludes with a look at the suspicious circumstances surrounding the death of Soul Train creator Don Cornelius.

CHAPTER 02 / 49 Discussion

Executive Producer Lucas de Heuvel, Dutch Donation Support

The hosts recognize Lucas de Heuvel from Oegstgeest, Netherlands, as the lead executive producer for the episode. They discuss the pronunciation of his hometown and express gratitude for his support of the show's "truth" in the face of European Union information clampdowns.

lucas de heuvel· oegstgeest· netherlands· executive producer· value for value

01:37 Lag time which is Thursday show yeah, which means no it's horrible. We can do one show a week That's not a problem I mean I have to now seriously consider getting some other gig somewhere doing something Well while we start off with giving our one executive producer his shout out okay? Let's do that get on with our information mm-hmm Okay, mainly because of the spreadsheet and of course It's it's not an American. It's not a Canadian. It's not a Australian all these people seem to have dried up It's a Dutchman who comes in as our... From a town I'll never pronounce in a million years, Eggstat. Very close! Try Oostgeest

02:18 It's not but I like the egg stop that's good Okay, I think that I think someone somehow an extraneous G got in there it should be oe stg est. I think I don't know what the This is what it says o e g s t g e st. I think it should be oe St.. I don't know how the G got okay? Oh, that's what confused me Lucas to haima No try lucas dayuma

02:55 Time a time. Ah, there you go time. Well thank you very much to our one executive associate executive producer He's an executive producer Here's some look in let you know the first guy and that's him here's some love some very entertaining shows lately which are very much appreciated I guess it's the only truth they get to the area because of the EU said clampdown And he says keep up with good work. Yeah we do good work We do But if it's not, you know... If people don't see the value and don't want to contribute value then fine. I'm happy to go back to one show a week and find something else to do because it's not like I'm working half as hard

CHAPTER 03 / 49 Discussion

PayPal Subscription Failures, Financial Sustainability Concerns

Adam Curry addresses a significant drop in donations, attributing it to PayPal's automatic subscription system failing when users receive new credit cards. The hosts discuss the possibility of reducing the show's frequency to once a week if financial support does not improve, jokingly referencing a Goldman Sachs "short squeeze" on the program.

paypal· donations· credit cards· goldman sachs· value for value

03:38 Right. All right, so I'll stop complaining that will be it for the complaining portion of the show but We got more complaining later Yeah, let's screw it! Let's complain more later That's a good idea So big news here John in the drone star state Besides that I want to mention to people they could help us by going to knowagendashow.com and showing us that they're actually listening to this show I want to remind people that there is a huge fall off this time of year. With the Paypal automatic system? The automatic systems because people get their new credit cards or whatever and they just get kicked right off of PayPal, there's no follow up

04:21 and they think that they're donating, and they're not. Have we seen this before? Have we seen this in previous years? We doing this now... This is our fifth year! Is it not John? Well, we've always had a crummy January so... No, never this crummy. This is bad. No, this is pretty bad. This worse than last year because we were making less money doing the show then we did uh...in terms of donations last year so there you have it. Yeah and... But I'm also reminding people just go to your bank and set up a time payment plan as opposed to working through PayPal because we had two accounts, no just we had the old account when we started the show and then I had to move over to a NoAgenda account which is easier so i don't have these funds mixed up with my stuff

05:02 And so I moved it over, but there's all the old subscriptions are still in that old account. They keep cropping in That account is almost dead. It's almost dead! Yeah... I just got news from the chat room Our problem is Goldman Sachs is now shorting No Agenda and that's the problem We're in a short squeeze! Devorac.org slash N A But we will be talking about our value for value model later on in the program and before we move on I do want to thank a couple of Producers who are helping us in other ways other than monetary means. And of course, we know it's a crisis It's not easy but if every single person at least put up a buck a show then you wouldn't be here in this room

CHAPTER 04 / 49 Discussion

Fanscribing Project Progress, Accessibility and Research

The hosts provide an update on the community-led fanscribing project, noting that episode 378 is 83% transcribed. They highlight the importance of these transcripts for search engine indexing, research purposes, and providing access to the show for hearing-impaired listeners.

fanscribing· indexing· accessibility· podcast transcripts· research

05:43 Negativity coming out of my piehole First of all, I want to thank everyone who's working on the fanscribing of the no agenda podcast. Oh yeah That's pretty cool currently three seven eight dot read No agenda comm is 83% fan scribe So we're getting very close to having that it looks like it could happen for every single episode But it actually would be good You know We go back through one and people have a whole week to do it so well will get more bang for the buck there but we do highly appreciate Everyone who's doing that because it helps with well, it helps for research we get indexed There's a lot of good reasons to do that. And of course there's a lot of people out there who? Can only read and can't hear yeah right this is true and they're probably love Hold on don't go more I got more I got more PR so keep going remember Bill Edelman will bill William he's one of our producers you called in to the

CHAPTER 05 / 49 Discussion

Bill Edelman, Shannon Burke Show Promotion Attempt

Producer Bill Edelman called into the Shannon Burke radio show to promote the podcast, resulting in a dismissive reaction from the host. The segment includes a clip of the interaction where the radio host groans at the mention of analyzing news patterns and C-SPAN.

bill edelman· shannon burke· scott ledger· c-span· radio promotion

06:42 Shannon Burke show and tried to promote us and he stumbled all over his scripts and stuff. Yes, we need better actors. Well, he's back. He's back in and he says look I'm got my script and i'm really trying it but it's listening to this guy this radio host shows you exactly what's wrong with mainstream programming like Scott Legend Dangerous Conversation. All right also...I do listen to Scott Legend Dangerous Conversations I also think you need to listen to the No Agenda podcast with Adam Curry and John C. DeVore. Listen to the guy go, ugghhh. He's like... This guy groaned! It gets worse. Who is this guy? Shannon Burke in the morning everybody! Never heard of him. They'll analyze new stories, they'll post it on their website. Oh yeah that's a good idea, I should spend some time talking about fucking C-SPAN. Hey! No, this is the show! Yeah dude! You know what I'm not talking

07:39 talking about that one you know it's a little media okay probably if you like i have the media right on standing right now uh... no no not yet but you've got your very smart and that's what i'm telling her that they can't really Listen to the legend and listen to the no agenda podcast that you don't see in these patterns that they talk about. Okay, I mean it's a picture of me sitting on somebody's story. Well, you know what? I'm very well educated man, highly degreed and um... I agree. Douchebag! Bullshit!

08:20 Good job bill. I like it when they irritate other hosts, that's good But I can't believe the guy keeps him on you know this is really good he just keeps on So he's obviously heard the show of course thinks Thanks for listening to C-SPAN too much and get their, you know, scooping. Yeah, yeah I've wanted to hear this. But he's a highly educated man doesn't need anything like this Okay well A few domain name forwards as our database continues to grow ybecause.ca is very good and we'll have some why because stuff coming up later This is now that we've been tipped off to this neuro linguistic programming that we first noticed with Rick Santorum

CHAPTER 06 / 49 Discussion

Neuro-Linguistic Programming, Valentine's Day Donation Campaign

The hosts discuss the use of "why because" as a neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) technique, first observed in Rick Santorum's rhetoric. They also introduce a Valentine's Day promotion suggesting $214 donations based on the "donating is loving" theme.

nlp· rick santorum· valentine's day· ethical adult entertainment· donations

09:02 This is really interesting how it's being used when you say, why because? And then it's just like what and... It's like... Oh what?! It's like if we don't have enough donations. Why because we need you to donate! Also ethical adult entertainment calm now forwarding to the no agenda show comm website very good I think we are ethical adult entertainment and because giving is loving comm along with an idea And this is actually something that We should talk about later on one of our producers suggested that there's a great opportunity To have people donate two hundred and fourteen dollars

09:39 or some variation of it for Valentine's Day. Oh yeah! Because nothing says I love you more than a donation to the No Agenda Show, why? That's true. Because donating is loving so i think that's uh well we'll chat more about that a little bit later on and of course you can always do one thing we all need to go out and propagate our formula Our formula is this We go out...we hit people in the mouth Shut up slave Before we get into anything substantive

CHAPTER 07 / 49 Discussion

Cenk Uygur, Booker T. Washington Slur on Current TV

Cenk Uygur of The Young Turks is criticized for mispronouncing the name of historical figure Booker T. Washington as "Booger T. Washington" during a Black History Month segment. The hosts analyze the clip, suggesting the production quality of the Current TV show is inferior to independent web productions.

cenk uygur· young turks· current tv· booker t washington· black history month

10:23 Okay, too many teas in there. I don't know um I would spent some time this week listening to current TV Because Olbermann quit you know and now they still have a show on Currently Kermit the Frog has done is waiting a show he's done he's out He seems have walked off But it's the show is still on all right so this is better with the frog is doing the show now I have a clip from that later, but they also brought over some other guys from MSNBC who could not Get any numbers at all So wisely they brought them over to the chunk guy chunk guy. Yeah young Turk Show yeah, so I got him I get caught him and he says It's terrible showing it looks like its produced over at rev 3 to be honest about it

11:10 No, I think Rev 3 is produced better than then it gets quite possible. It's very cheap production has cheap written all over it and But I got him caught him and I had to listen to this over and over again And I so I got the clip of him actually saying booger T Washington And I thought, you know the show numbers are down and maybe people were looking more for this sort of material. What? Chunk said this? Chunk said booger tea and so I have the clip of him saying it then I have it I reclip just the booger part So you could hear that It was booger because he can almost maybe said book or tea but no there's no K in there its booger You know He said Booger Tea Washington I thought it was a I thought it was abhorrent Can I just say one thing you have way too much time on your hands

11:54 Obviously it was a tragic story of his apparent suicide this morning. So things about muscle strength of the month with Don Cornelius who was the creator... You're not playing the Booger T Washington clip You told me to play, oh I thought there was a long one first and then Booger T. Booger T is 14 seconds? No just Booger T Back on Young Turks Well this morning we were talking with J.R Jackson who's our longtime producer And he was saying you know every network and station covers Black History Month in the same way You find out about Booger T Washington in like little snippets etc Booger booger booger booger Okay I understand I misunderstood what you were doing Booger booger

12:37 Yeah, that's a way to celebrate Black History Month alright. Call the guy Booger T. Hey Booger T! I thought it was insulting to all black people It was insulting to me...Booger T Washington Are you kidding me Chunk? Oh my goodness And when you say his name That's not what your going to slur You don't do that No its Booker T Washington You say booker Its no hard to say booker Booger So the guy's never held an album cover in his hand by Booker T Washington in his life. That's obvious Yeah, that's what it over speaking of albums I figured out a great promotion that's taking place right now It's this is a two-parter so we had an apparent meteorite Crash into the Austin area the other night Did you not hear about this?

CHAPTER 08 / 49 Discussion

Austin Meteorite Sighting, FAA Drone Cover Story

A bright fireball witnessed over Austin, Texas, and Oklahoma prompts media reports featuring police dashcam footage. The hosts question the FAA's immediate classification of the object as a meteorite, suggesting it could have been a drone failure or a UFO.

austin· meteorite· faa· drones· ufo· fireball

13:29 No, you think I would? You think somebody would have Twittered me or emailed me. It's a big deal. Did they miss? They didn't hit the house! So there are all kinds of video of this. There is video from dash cams from cop cars. There is satellite imagery of it and of course Meteorite and when you look at it, so it's like way too bright way too low. It's either a drone flaming out which probably is Is a real possibility or the mother gonna see a lot of that? Yeah, or the mothership is sending off little Little baby ships

14:07 But this is a two-parter and there's a PR promotion in here which it took me to listen to it twice to figure out. As by the way, the people who now do reports on meteorites crashing into Texas are apparently weathermen they're now the experts on that can't get a space guy anymore. Let Dan the Weatherman do the report. So here's these two douchebag idiots on CNN, these two women who yap in the morning. You probably didn't see it up in the Northeast to the Northwest but if you were in Texas or Oklahoma what on earth was that streaking across the night sky? In those states check out the video from the police dash cam I was gonna sing some crazy song... Listen It was a routine traffic stop that caught this But the FAA is now weighing in on what that is

14:52 Meteor that's the fireball it was so now the FAA all of a sudden is they're weighing in there the experts that isn't you know Well, it wasn't a drone or anything. You know who's a meteor because we're the FAA They're not authorized to make this call actual meteor The report their reports came as far south as Waco Texas and as far north as Oklahoma City of people saying yikes Yeah, by the way neither Mickey nor I saw or because apparently made a boom as well. It made a booming sound Hmm and and we didn't hear it cuz you were further south than Waco not much A couple of people in the area heard it

15:31 We were drunk, so that's why we didn't you know maybe it was us. Maybe Did you fart? Hold on much more fun to say it was a UFO Let's rule that out okay cuz the FAA says so Now listen to this because here's the PR moment get ready for it Did you see it Rob? No, but that's striking video. It definitely looks more like a UFO than is a fireball around here. But I'll take FAAs word on that. Sure the FAA the experts on UFOs yeah not a UFO its meteorite FAA knows. Another picture

CHAPTER 09 / 49 Discussion

NASA Moon Video, Pink Floyd Marketing Tie-in

NASA released video from the GRAIL satellites showing the far side of the moon, which news anchors like Shepard Smith repeatedly referred to as the "dark side." The hosts claim this specific phrasing is a coordinated PR effort to promote the remastered re-release of Pink Floyd's "The Dark Side of the Moon" album.

nasa· dark side of the moon· pink floyd· shepard smith· grail satellites

16:09 from space actually, the dark side of the moon. Check this out! Eben Floh is a twin satellite project of GRAIL that's orbiting the moon right now and takes some of the images that we don't see down here because we only see well the lit side of them when it faces us This is the dark side, the elusive one The dark side of the Moon? What could that mean John?! The Dark Side Of The Moon Well, I have a clip. Oh boy you didn't... oh boy all right! I don't get the clip you're getting i just got it clear I thought I have a different angle on this but go on no no no no I want to hear your angle then I'll tell you what its really about well I dont' have an angle except that there's something going on about how dumb they think the public is because this is Shepard Smith

16:50 Who says for one thing he says little green men have landed and he says I'm just kidding And then he said and then he explains the dark side of the moon as if no one has been to the third grade And we're getting a rare glimpse at the far side of the moon. We found the little green man Not really today NASA released this video shot from a spacecraft out there somewhere scientists say the Moon is tidally locked Meaning one side always faces Earth, so we rarely get to see the dark side. The Dark Side of the Moon." Yeah okay! So Pink Floyd is re-releasing their album Remastered including... Dark Side of the Moon! This is like so obvious this was like an obvious one all I had to do it's one Google search and boom on there They're doing a rerelease that's why this is PR

17:44 And I know what happened on this, Shepard Smith first said you know the far side and then so the producer went straight we're not gonna get paid if you don't say dark side. Oh yeah right it's the dark side of the moon. It's not dark how is it the dark side when it was lit up and they showed a picture of it hello? Because it's not because its PR for the Floyd re-release Yeah obviously! It's so easy This stuff is so easy It's unbelievable to me that they would run that piece at all and I know what you're saying, and there's probably a connection to between either. There's it That's either product placement which I think they're starting to drop in news items now constantly well And especially the other people are in the music and TV The entertainment business they were the ones who are this leasiest of the whole crowd exactly? I have that shepherd clip a Shepard Smith clip now since we're talking about him the one that

CHAPTER 10 / 49 Discussion

SEAL Team 6, Act of Valor Movie Promotion

The hosts identify news reports about SEAL Team 6 operations as stealth marketing for the upcoming film "Act of Valor." They argue that the name "SEAL Team 6" is being used as a brand for entertainment purposes rather than accurate military reporting.

seal team 6· act of valor· shepard smith· fox news· product placement

18:40 Because there's more PR going on. This is the one I didn't have on Sunday's broadcast. From Fox this Wednesday night, SEAL Team 6 has done it again! Last night officials say a team of SEALs not the ones who captured Osama Bin Laden- Whoops? Captured? Captured or killed?! I know you've been scrounging to get that one So i got that clip and of course It was so easy to figure out this is another promotion For the-the... The SEAL Team 6 movie that's coming out. The trailer is everywhere! Yeah. The Valor movie, whatever it's called. Fox is the worst at this I mean I... It's so- They need to get less obvious about it? Really?! And by the way there is no such thing called Team Seal Six That is a fictitious name that is not the actual name of this outfit

19:29 That's a movie name and now they've got this you know, you see the trailers in the making of it's everywhere It's coming out like in two weeks or whatever. This is all PR ladies and gentlemen says nothing to do You know was not news No, and since we still haven't seen this woman... And the Shepard Smith piece about the dark side of the moon he says He doesn't even bother telling you what kind of a spaceship. Some space ship out there! If you listen to it, there's no details It's like apparently some random spaceship that is just roaming around I mean that would actually be news random to have some facts just something that's out there We don't know who owns it or whatever. Maybe George Clooney is flying in it yeah, that's possible ridiculous the movie industry and politics and news is so intertwined these days a great example from Australia There's a member of Parliament there me get his name Anthony Albany's Let me just see

CHAPTER 11 / 49 Discussion

Anthony Albanese, The American President Speech Plagiarism

Australian Member of Parliament Anthony Albanese is caught delivering a speech that mirrors dialogue from the 1995 film "The American President." The segment plays the MP's speech side-by-side with Michael Douglas's performance to highlight the word-for-word similarities.

anthony albanese· michael douglas· australia· plagiarism· the american president

20:29 Hold on a second. He is... This is for our Australian listeners will get a kick out of this he serves as the leader of the House of Representatives and Minister for Infrastructure and Transport in the Gillard Ministry, and he's been there since March 1996 so he gives his speech And you're going to hear this exact same speech right after he's done it's like if this is like a piece of his speech like 20 seconds And you'll hear the, I'm not going to give it away but you'll hear the exact same speech by someone else right after it. In Australia we have serious challenges to solve and we need serious people to solve them Unfortunately Tony Abbott is not the least bit interested in fixing anything He's only interested in two things Making Australians afraid of it and telling them who's to blame for it

21:22 We have serious problems to solve and we need serious people to solve them. And whatever your particular problem is, I promise you Bob Rumson is not the least bit interested in solving it He's interested in two things and two things only making you afraid of it and telling who's to blame for it Michael Douglas in The American President The exact same speech Which one came first? What's the dates. Oh, the American president is a long time ago. So they just basically stole it from a movie? Yes! This Australian guy? Yeah! How embarrassing. It's hilarious. I wonder how much material they lift from movies thinking no one is going to notice Well no-one watched this movie so... Well yeah you find a movie nobody watches and then you gotta make it. I watched it I have to say. I liked the movie

22:15 But yeah, I think wasn't that the one where he dies and then Sarah Susan Sarandon becomes president? I never saw the movie. Yeah, it was a good movie! I like Michael Douglas. He chooses his movies well. Yeah but then to have that lifted... Why don't we just have Michael Douglas get an Australian accent and be the politician?! Oh wait a minute, we already do that here. We already have actors as politicians. Crazy. Just crazy So we had I'm so tired of the X Factor, of the contest as it's now being called continuously on all the news channels. This contest! This contest! And now it actually is turning into an X Factor American Idol where we got people singing and we get the contestants singing in this thing John We've got Obama singing, we've got Mitt Romney singing, we've got people joking about Newt Gingrich should sing... Could it get any more obvious what's going on here?

CHAPTER 12 / 49 Discussion

George Soros, 2012 Election Civilized Tone Prediction

In a clip from Davos, George Soros discusses the 2012 presidential election, suggesting there is little difference between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney. Soros predicts the election will be more "civilized" than previous cycles due to the lack of enthusiasm on both sides.

george soros· barack obama· mitt romney· davos· 2012 election

23:18 Yeah, just make let him sing screw it. Yeah, it's pretty bad It's horrible and there's no real analysis there was um that was actually kind of interesting What's his name Soros? Hey I'm George Once I heard him like really working on On trying to perfect my sorrows voice Hold on a second where is he oh Soros you can also make that the same voice because I saw him on book TV this last week Zabrinsky. Oh, there's a big new Brzezinski Yeah, he has the same voice you never see those two guys in the same picture actually now think about so here's George Soros Now you sound like Triumph the insult comic dog again. Here is George Soros

24:09 It's not George, this is the dog. Here is George Soros. To Poupon! This I'm in Davo and I am talking about Obama and Romney. Comes in? Comes in there we are get it now. To Poupon! If it's between Obama and Romney, there isn't all that much difference. I love this clip! There isn't all that much difference but what is the difference then Soros? Except for the crowd they bring with them Different bankers Romney would have to take Gingrich or Santorum as a vice president Now listen to this Listen very carefully.

25:06 So it won't be that great a difference and I think there won't be a great deal of enthusiasm on either side of the battleground. It will be more civilized than the previous elections have been." We all know it. Romney and Santorum, he says which is kind of interesting Or Gingrich, he says or Gingrich Well Gingrich is never going to be a VP In fact, Gingrich's not gonna show up anywhere near the White House according to this woman who... And I never thought about this She claims that there was like a secret society of... she didn't quite say it that way but that's what I interpreted No Of first wives

CHAPTER 13 / 49 Discussion

First Wives Club, Call-in Criticism of Callista Gingrich

A C-SPAN caller discusses the "First Wives Club" and their alleged opposition to Callista Gingrich becoming First Lady. The caller expresses concern that her presence would be a "stain" on the Republican Party, leading the hosts to discuss the lack of "No Agenda" mentions on C-SPAN.

callista gingrich· newt gingrich· c-span· first wives club· republican party

25:48 And they're not gonna let Calista anywhere near the White House because she's a horrible third wife and it's just bad by nature. Play Haters Be Hatin'. I have to say, she is rather frightening. She's freaky yeah. Yeah alright, Haters Be Hatin', here we go... appreciate that well i think it's about time for the republican to shove it back down their throat why didn't the media Susan talk about John Kerry only paying 13.1 in income tax? That's all he paid I think and and...I can't even leave Newt Gingrich you just wait, its not over yet wait till the First Wives Club gets involved they're not gonna let

26:29 let Calissa Gingrich be a first lady. We would never have that in our life and we don't want that stain on the Republican Party. Well that was on C-SPAN, on the call in show. Yeah! Where is everybody calling in on that show and saying no agenda? Come on people come on I don't know, I have no idea why nobody... I don't think anybody but us watches C-SPAN. I do not think half of the people who listen to our shows even know what we're talking about when you say C-SPAN They are like well I don't know they are watching something maybe it's over in France What is that C-SPAN they keep referring too It must be in France Debbie Wasserman Schultz goes on... Oh, this woman is the most annoying woman in the whole administration. Now she's in charge of the Democratic National Committee

CHAPTER 14 / 49 Discussion

Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Super PAC Advertising Scams

DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz appears on Rachel Maddow's show to discuss Mitt Romney's heavy spending on negative advertising. The hosts argue that the political system is a "scam" designed to funnel Super PAC money into media companies through constant ad buys.

debbie wasserman schultz· mitt romney· negative ads· super pacs· rachel maddow

27:13 Yeah, she's a big wig. She's also she Congresswoman I think Congress yeah, yeah, she'd been Florida I think it could be wrong But you know what? She really lays it out and its and its obvious why she's on Rachel Maddow show We know Rachel Maddow is the biggest money whore there is when it comes to this because I've really been paying attention Ever since you pointed out on the past short work too but how much money is really being shoved into the media from all of these super packs and all these commercials and advertisements. And she basically lays it out, and I think she is correct although you know she should be careful because this is exactly how they do it too well. I think they've probably got a ways to go before there's a clear nominee. You know what Mitt Romney did tonight was essentially by the Republican primary victory that he got 13000 ads 2200 ads for Newt Gingrich only about

28:07 0.1% of those ads were positive I mean he really carpet-bombed Newt Gingrich and so all that says is that he drowned him in negative advertising and so as the race progresses, i think it'll continue to be clear that there's a dramatic contrast between Mitt Romney and the Republican field So there it is He spent about 9 million dollars on the ads What's interesting though Is I rarely see the ads as ads Where do I see the ads? When CNN or Fox News shows them and says look at this latest negative attack ad This is such a scam. This whole thing is all about money flowing into the media companies The more you have the more they feature you, the more they talk about you, the more you get on the air with them It's just sad. It's total scam! Yeah it really is That's the scam we should be involved in

29:02 Well, we should have a small media company just to do nothing but take political ad money. Just scam! Let's just do a scam. Yeah you know I don't know who were going to give our endorsement too and they are seeing that now see thats kind of meme like oh im not gonna endorse him yet And why the hell is Herman Cain on television all of sudden again? And he had this big smiling pie hole. He comes on, he endorses Gingrich but no one says hey by the way how's that philandering working out for you that made you drop out of the race? Now he has just become a clown! An official clown. He was a clown but now it is official and Sarah Palin

CHAPTER 15 / 49 Discussion

Sarah Palin, Cosmetic Surgery and Media Obsession

The hosts speculate that Sarah Palin's recent absence from the media was due to recovery from cosmetic surgery, noting changes in her facial appearance. They extend the discussion to other media figures like Megan Kelly and Candy Crowley, debating the pressures on women in television to maintain a specific look.

sarah palin· cosmetic surgery· megan kelly· candy crowley· fox news

29:48 My goodness, look at the woman's face. Did she get her chip implanted? Has MKUltra finally kicked in this woman is really a robot now and I've defended Sarah Bannon. I think she had some work done that's why she was off the radar for so long Oh that's possible It takes about two months to get bruises Oh no oh no that's not true Bull crap my ex-wife had work done I shall refrain from explaining The doctor would always say you'll have some bruising for a couple of weeks then it will be fine three months minimum On anything you do. It's three months, it just takes three months. Well it's been about three months since we've seen Palin Interesting...we should take...something is weird about her face Yeah they pulled it back and she has that stupid lift look which will end up making her look weird She looks surprised with kind of a slash mouth Yeah she looks surprised the whole time

30:39 Yeah, and you look surprised especially in the early days. And it sags back down a little bit so you look normal for a very short time and then oh god this needs to be redone because I think the first lift lasts like seven years or used to be 14 then 7 then 3 1⁄2 then every year So you'd have to start getting work done every year No no that's not how it works You get the first work done and then you're like, well wait a minute now my ears don't match my forehead. Oh then the bags on the eyes are gone but now I've got little things above the eye and it just keeps on going and it's like if your modeling someone's face out of clay It's like a nightmare! There ya go 20 years in my life what can I tell ya?

31:24 So you, okay well that would be your... Well you're gonna speak from experience I'm only speaking from theory and all i know is that you're not supposed to have a facelift done till the uh your first face if ever going to do one it's just a recommendation for everyone. Wait a minute John C Devorah! You should be 92 years old Hey citizen 92? I'm gonna schedule it now Yeah thank you too you'll looking good for awhile I look great You look great in the coffin so um Oh thanks dude Uh, well it depends how long you go. I mean if the first one lasts a decade and you got a 102, you're still looking good. You know that sounds okay. Okay yeah that makes sense because yeah you get it done and then something does not quite right... And of course the business itself is designed to get you to keep doing it. Of course! Yeah So they never do it right, you have to keep fixing it. Megan Kelly from Fox is going to go next

32:16 You think? Oh, definitely. She's already... I know this so well first of all I grew up with women second of all i have all this experience first they starve themselves Megan Kelly is now starving herself and the only one who was really doing it properly actually Aaron Burnett but she can't stand up again people were talking as television executives here not as you know men who would be rude to women Not a sensitive males that we are No not as a bicurious male But yeah, no you watch. She's gonna go on a hiatus for a couple of months and she's gonna come back and have all kinds of work done because it is an obsession! It is an absolute obsession I've seen it time and time again You'll see The only one who isn't going to do anything And is over that hump and doing well Is Candy Crowley

33:06 Oh, please. Yeah but that's the... It's ridiculous she does she's like giving up on herself! But that's okay and by the way I know I guess from your yeah beautiful for that very reason she's normal healthy perspective yes Andy Crowley who just looks like hell seriously I'm a executive perspective but no but she appeals to a huge demographic of real women Yeah, we're not gonna put themselves through this agony. Exactly! Yeah no the thing is you're gonna get this and if I wouldn't pay Lynn as a you know she's an old bathing beauty she was um you know right? She was very sexy when she was young. She was very sexy and i thought she was sexy four years ago And I was watching her on somewhere it must have been on Fox obviously and I was like oh my gosh she just looks like crap and she looks tired

CHAPTER 16 / 49 Discussion

Dianne Feinstein, CIA Director David Petraeus Defense

Senator Dianne Feinstein defends CIA Director David Petraeus against reports in the Los Angeles Times claiming he is inaccessible to Congress. Feinstein accuses the executive branch of leaking classified information and compromising intelligence assets, signaling an internal war between the White House and the CIA.

dianne feinstein· david petraeus· cia· executive branch· intelligence committee

34:02 Yeah, it's just not good. Not that her eyes look tired but you know just tired of... It could be tiring having your everything pulled back tight anyway who gives a crap? Diane Feinstein let's talk about her for a second I've been tracking Diane Feinstein ever since the White House insider and the Wall Street insider and ever since we actually found out that she popped the Osama bin Laden capture or kill I Right we've been talking about this because that guy probably found out that there are two Obamas or something but they had information and So they've been messing with Feinstein. They stole her campaign fund money, and I don't know if you had time to watch it I'm only through half of it at this point But they had the not this Security Council meeting the security committee meeting which feinstein Of course she's a chair of it so she's big wanna

35:07 And we've talked about the CIA being in a war with Obama and she comes out in her opening statement, John. I was blown away by this. There are couple of things that I want to add and I'm not sure if this is the good place but I am going to do it anyway In this morning's edition of the Los Angeles Times, there was an article asserting that CIA Director David Petraeus has been inaccessible and guarded in his interactions with Congress. And with the intelligence committees in particular since being sworn-in last September As far as I'm concerned, nothing could be farther from the truth. And I believe the ranking member, the vice chairman would agree with that." So right off the bat there... That's very interesting because The Washington Post is of course corrupt and they took sources

36:01 And they basically said, you know this guy is not... and Petraeus. He's not there you know the CIA... Did she say The Washington Post? Yes! She said The Washington Post. Can you play it again because I'm wondering why I heard the Los Angeles Times. I thought she said post yeah I know but I've heard the times and I want to hear it again so maybe I misheard it Maybe I'm mistaken A couple of things I wanna add and I'm not sure this is a good place but I'm gonna do it anyway in this morning's edition of the Los Angeles Times. I'm sorry, you're right. I was wrong Well, Los Angeles Time is corrupt too Hold on a second. I just wonder why? What? See, it would have made more sense if it was the Washington Post because they would know what is the Los Angeles Times? Oh here's what happened...I think I saw the same report in The Washington Post and that's why I got confused because Washington Post will just read..they'll repeat each other Actually its the Los Angeles Times that tends to rerun cause they're a subscriber of The Washington Post news service Interesting I'd like to look at where that story originated from

37:03 So look it up while you're talking. But she's yes, she starts by saying I don't know if I should talk about this here that's a message you know it's like hello attention I'm about to discredit your crappy ass media plant that you tried to put out there and but then she really pulls out the dagger and guarded in his interactions with Congress and with the intelligence committees in particular since being sworn in last September. As far as I'm concerned, nothing could be farther from the truth and I believe the ranking member, the vice chairman would agree with that. I spoke to The Reporter last Friday... So she checked that out she called The Reporter? That's big! We get Dianne Feinstein calling you saying hey

37:49 I don't know what Obama camp there is telling you to do, but you're wrong. Very clear to him that this has not been my experience or to the best of my knowledge the members of this committee Good point in the chat room The LA Times is owned by The Chicago Tribune That would explain it wouldn't it? Chicago yeah, yeah. If it had been I would have heard Director Petraeus has appeared before us every month since becoming director and the vice chairman And I have had several phone calls and other meetings with him now He's upheld his obligation to keep the committee fully and currently informed and I regret that some people felt the need To engage in anonymous complaints some people

38:36 I'd also like to say that once again this committee has been put in a difficult position of trying to avoid any mention of classified matters when various parts of the executive branch may be doing somewhat the opposite. I ask members to be careful in their questions and statements, and to remember that public discussion of some intelligence programs and assets can lead to them being compromised. So that isn't to me is not an innocuous statement That is a big deal for her to say the executive branch ie the White House is exposing CIA operations And therefore creating a risk to compromise of our assets. I think it's a big deal for her to say that

CHAPTER 17 / 49 Discussion

Special Forces in Iran, Reconnaissance Missions

A listener report suggests that U.S. Special Forces have been operating inside Iran for some time, conducting reconnaissance missions while disguised as locals. The report claims these soldiers are trained in Farsi and grow beards to blend into sparse mountain and desert regions.

iran· special forces· farsi· recon· military deployment

39:23 Yeah, I'd say so there's a war going on that we are not fully aware of other than what she's obviously in the middle of it. She seemed very annoyed. She always seems very annoyed. So Kim, so I'll finish the rest of that intelligence committee hearing and maybe more. I read somewhere, haven't hit that point yet in the C-SPAN recording. That she says that she and Petraeus had a meeting with Mossad in Washington DC, secret meeting but he actually said it in this hearing somewhere which you know what that means? That means that war with Iran is imminent and its going to be a droid war. Well we did have correspondent one of our...I got another one

40:11 Okay, well you want your go through those right now. I want to mention by the way that this Ken Dillon and Dylan Dylan Ian I guess is the way it's pronounced wrote the article Wrote the article used to be with USA Today as a congressional correspondent Rome correspondent investigative reporter political reporter at The Philadelphia Inquirer That's where all the spies are in Philly Yeah, it must be something. I don't know it's hard to say what the way this connections are I can't see anything Noticeable I'm looking at his LinkedIn profile so I got regarding Iran Adam and John I was listening to your last show wanted to give you some info on the troops being deployed To Iran now we have already had someone else say this to us which he yeah We get a lot of good information could be disinfo but I think this I hold this to be valid incredible

41:02 Info about the troops being deployed to Iran. I work at an establishment with military who have come back from Iraq and Afghanistan over the past few years as working with these guys closely on a day-to-day basis who are still all around my age we get to know these guys pretty well As you know, a generalist now listen closely when they talk to me about the things that they have seen or done in the Middle East I've come across only three of these guys who claim to have worked in Iran while overseas They say, we have had special forces in Iran for quite some time now mostly doing recon missions. Each of them are top secret and the public is not supposed to know about it. These are white American males who were trained to speak Farsi and dress like the Iranians depending on what region of Iran they're deployed too and allowed to grow beards to fit in."

41:43 When I asked them how they wouldn't look to be suspicious to Iranians, they generally said that first of all they spend most of their time in deserts and mountain regions where the population is sparse. And they only interact with people if they have too and make it real quick Also they tend to send soldiers with Middle Eastern features or better yet any American Iranian who made it through special forces training First time I heard this from one of the soldier's I could hardly believe but hearing a similar story from three different ones It interested me I've been wanting to send this to you for some time now, but didn't know if I should. But hearing the last show about the girlfriend's boyfriend... ...I just thought that I had to let you know."

42:19 So boots are all around the ground. It's not a surprise though, it's not a surprise but it is Interesting to note because you know we've had some assassinations We've had all kinds of weird stuff where we have the students from the University of California caught in those same mountains that these guys are hanging out if all we know is just an exchange a thumb drive Internet and a suitcase passing it off to you now Yeah, or something. I mean who knows? We'll never find out and it's only speculation And then we had that guy that was recently arrested who was visiting his mom He's a student! He's not a spy or an asset he is a student New code word to look out for...student

Molly Wood, Glock Marketing and Stripper Spokespeople

The hosts discuss tech journalist Molly Wood's appearance on CBS before transitioning into a story about Glock's marketing tactics. At the SHOT Show in Las Vegas, Glock reportedly hired a top stripper from the Atlanta Gold Club to act as a spokesperson, whom many attendees mistakenly assumed was a CIA agent.

43:03 They used to use journalist. They could journalist nobody buys anymore. It's like, journalists you are a spy! The only person that... You're the only true journalists I actually know. Well you and Molly Wood actually. I think she's a real journalist but she would be a great spy wouldn't she? Well she looks more like the spy type She was on CBS this morning talking about that Facebook IPO. She looked smoking hot. Well she's very intelligent so she should Like leave your fiance hot You're gonna leave your fiancee for her? No. That's what you said! I said that how hot she looked. Nah, it'd be... nah. Nah, I already discussed this with Mickey. She agrees. Molly... What? Threesome?! Oh man. Hot tub. Hot tub. Hey citizen! South by Southwest baby

43:51 I got a clip from the you have to go back because not you brought up this said she'd be A good CIA accent. I do have a clip that kind of applies, okay? But it came in the last show and you didn't play it which is and it's one of them more interesting clips I Have two and I think we should play cuz it has a funny punchline Let me just look at your is it booger T Washington Is that the clip no but you can say that again while looking Back on a Young Turks. Well, this morning we were talking with J.R Jackson who's our long time producer and he was saying you know every network and station covers Black History Month in the same way you find out about Boogert T Washington in like little snippets etc over it over it over it So do I have to go back to the archive from the last show? Is that what you're telling me because I usually delete the ones We don't play Oh but it would still be your email You can pull it down now Yeah...I think I might have deleted all of the email

44:46 It's archived somewhere but not on this machine if you really need it. Never mind, it's no that important. Sorry about that. It has a funny line though and it has to do with good looking women in the CIA which apparently there are quite a few. Well yeah! This guy was...it was about..the story is about the Glock Oh, right. We didn't play those. It's Glock story part two it's a little long but apparently the guys who were promoting the Glock gun which is you know which is a plastic gun that everyone was buying left and right they decided to make do do a big deal at The Shot Show which is this huge trade show in Las Vegas so they used to wine-and-dine all the buyers from all the police departments and everybody at Atlanta Gold Club

45:32 And there's a bunch of anecdotes about that. So they decided this guy who is the marketing guy, he was genius apparently much better than I am at marketing our show and the guy decides to get the best looking girl at the gold club among 300 strippers decided to have her as the spokesperson at the show and to promote the heck out of us all these men apparently packed a booth in because this girl is so gorgeous. Of course well isn't that exactly what you do? They said they had to train her though it's a Glock facility, so she knew how to use the gun who could take it apart no so they put her in there with a bunch of police guys international agents and all this other stuff but they didn't have the guts to tell me that these guys were training with a stripper

46:14 So he said everybody just assumed she was with the CIA. Oh perfect, oh perfect I'm actually scanning to see if we can find that clip That's okay it's too long to play it, I just played it Yeah you did Alright Onward Yes Well...I had a weird dream last night actually Yeah? Was is a vivid dream or was it drug induced No it was a very vivid dream It was a vivid dream so you don't know if it was real or not Yeah, well no I know it was a Intellectually. I know is a dream But there was someone we know and respect And I don't know who it was but I could feel like some guy Someone we both know and both respect yeah It's a very short list two guys in one of them. I'm sketchy about but he was warning me and he was saying look if

CHAPTER 19 / 49 Discussion

Surveillance Dreams, Chemtrails over Austin

Adam Curry describes a vivid dream about being warned for "flying too close to the sun" regarding the show's investigations. He links the dream to the unusual appearance of chemtrails over his Austin home, suggesting potential atmospheric programming or surveillance.

chemtrails· austin· surveillance· dreams· icarus

47:10 You know, they know what you guys are doing. You're getting too close and kind of like the Icarus flying too close to the sun And there's no, you can't go back now. But they're going to try and get you... They're gonna do it by choking off our funding! Well it was working It was really weird when I woke up this morning and there were two chemtrails in the sky which we never have really in Austin There's never any. And they were like in the wrong direction because We have 2 flights a day basically coming over the house that's about it and they all come from a different direction

47:47 And there were two chemtrail streaks just hanging there. So I don't know, maybe they chemtrailed me at night and I had these dreams or they programmed me to say look why because you just got a stop or whatever it was weird little Maybe this Feinstein thing you're on too something's up That i think is huge The Feinstein thing is really big and we've well And by the way getting close we only get as close as C-SPAN allows us. Yes, rest of it is all analysis Indeed we do I got a great clip here from one of our Gitmo Nation East producers and now remind you that a lot of this program is produced by people all around the globe because of our reach who send us stuff and

CHAPTER 20 / 49 Discussion

Michael Gove, James Bond Villain Hugo Drax

UK Education Minister Michael Gove stated in a BBC podcast that if he were a James Bond villain, he would be Hugo Drax from "Moonraker." The hosts point out that Drax's plot involved the mass extinction of humanity, questioning the minister's choice of role model.

michael gove· hugo drax· james bond· moonraker· uk education minister

48:37 And there's a member of parliament, Michael Gove, GOVE. He is the Minister of Education in Gitmo Nation East and they had this from a BBC podcast where they were asking him questions The clip by itself is funny, but then we've consulted the book of knowledge and it gets a little frightening. During the session, a number of MPs put to him questions that had been posted on Twitter. The last was put by the committee chair Graham Stewart. If you could be any James Bond villain which one would you be? Gosh! There followed a lengthy silence before Michael Gove came up with an answer he would be Hugo Drax

49:17 Wasn't it Hugo Drexler who was responsible for the rocket in Moonraker? Is that right?" And the parliamentary clerk is nodding. I think Scaramanga had an interest in ballistics, but I think having an interest in rocket science is probably more appropriate." The Education Secretary halted there after one committee member noticed that his advisors sitting nearby seemed keen for him to stop talking. was to destroy the entire human race except for a small group of carefully selected humans both male and female who would leave earth on six shuttles and have a sanctuary on a space station. So this is the minister of education who wants to be the guy who kills everybody. Oh brother! I mean, what a douche or... I would have wanted being octopussy Or? Is he actually meaning this

50:32 Well, I mean it's obviously in the back of his mind. I would have out of the blue pulled up Hugo Drax unless they saw the movie a day before which seems highly unlikely. I don't remember that name until you brought it up! He's not one of the great villains, I mean it is a storyline that works out but you know i always think of Blofeld. That to me he's the only guy can remember that's a great villain in The Bond series. I always think of Blowfly but thats just me It's a different story So anyway its very nice to know that the education minister in the United Kingdom wants to kill everybody Did you see this movie going around on the net on chemtrails?

CHAPTER 21 / 49 Discussion

Global Warming, Aluminum Dust Geoengineering

The hosts discuss a film regarding geoengineering efforts to combat global warming by spraying sub-micron aluminum particles into the atmosphere. They argue these particles are toxic to humans and represent a deliberate attempt to poison the global population.

geoengineering· aluminum dust· global warming· chemtrails· toxicity

51:11 Which one I think the one that's in a guy recently and which discusses the meetings that were taking place Yes, you're what putting the aluminum dust in the air. What the hell on earth are they spraying? You mean now because of yeah Trying to cut down on chemistry That's going you got me. They're trying to cut down on global warming so they're gonna put this shit in the air to get, you know, cloud up place? Yeah that's all sub-micron particles which are actually toxic so as they come to earth no matter what you do you breathe them in yes and die. You just poison the entire world. Yes, yes, yes. That's what they're up too. Yes! Yes yeah what about it

51:53 They're probably trying to kill us all. Oh, well finally it's taken me five years but he finally comes around ladies and gentlemen No no I'm not coming around at all You are definitely busted you're busted you're coming around suspicious you're coming around Good one. We got you ladies and gentlemen another chemtrail truther John C By the way, your chemtrail theory has always been they're spraying weird chemicals in the air so they can sedate the public So nobody complains too much And it seems to be working doesn't it? Well... You've got a pretty passive group out there yeah that's for sure The kids are getting on it now

CHAPTER 22 / 49 Discussion

Don Cornelius Death, Soul Train Legacy Criticism

Following the death of Don Cornelius, the hosts criticize media portrayals of "Soul Train" as revolutionary. They specifically challenge Cenk Uygur's assertion that dancing on TV was a new concept, citing Dick Clark's "American Bandstand" as a much earlier predecessor.

don cornelius· soul train· cenk uygur· black history month· television history

52:40 Okay, let's see what other lively news do we have? Well there was some stuff going on with Lucifer. Lucifers been back. Well before we go off into that lets go back and slow it down a little bit because I want to get Chunk out of the way. I got one more. Ha ha ha! Chunk! His name is Chunk Chunk whatever his name is that young Turks guy he had there were you know Cornelius? Don Cornelia killed himself Yeah, you think so well. I got news for you, but go ahead You can change the end of the story I don't care But they died so chink has this new set with a bunch of people sitting around doing nothing I don't really get what they're trying to do production people There's one guy is switching one guys editing no no there was just a bunch of women looking at computer screens They're not doing anything once playing are they hot oh

53:30 No. Well then they're doing it wrong! So anyway, so Cenk gets this black guy in here who's gonna tell us all about the history of Don Cornelius and he puts some assertions in here that are just like... You're kidding right? This is like, this is what you're gonna stay with this story. Obviously it was a tragic story of his apparent suicide this morning so things about might as well start off the month with Don Cornelius who was the creator executive producer and first host of Soul Train. As everyone knows what Soul Train was Yeah It was a shitty show! Let me just say it right now, Soul Train sucked

54:06 Okay, they had bad acts on it. It was no good the dancing was fun to watch back in the 70's That was cool But it wasn't it sucked as a show listen to his assertion about the dancing. Uh he ran for 35 years It was the longest longest running first run nationally syndicated program in television history So that's first, that's really interesting. Second of all what I didn't know was he was the executive producer of it. Yeah. I thought he was just... What rock have you been under Chunk? The host but turns out he is the one who came up with idea and pushed it forward. Started pitching to several entities trying get it going and basically watching folks dance on TV was something pretty revolutionary

CHAPTER 23 / 49 Discussion

Hollywood Whackers, Don Cornelius Divorce Settlement

The hosts discuss the suspicious timing of Don Cornelius's suicide, noting it occurred shortly after a two-year clause in his life insurance policy expired. They suggest his ex-wife, Victoria Chapman, may have ties to the "Russian mob" in Hollywood, framing the death as a "whacking."

don cornelius· victoria chapman· russian mob· life insurance· suicide

54:45 Absolutely. He's right about that. What? Are you kidding me? Dick Clark had Dancing on TV ten years earlier and he had it on continually! Dancing On TV was revolutionary, are you kidding me?! I think what he meant to say... No it's not but the kind of dancing was revolutionary The kind of dancing. And we had some cra- I mean, it was some crazy ass dancing going on on Soul Train But you're right what the guy said is completely ludicrous. Yeah, okay? I agree now let's talk about this obvious Hit job as our poor actually have this jingle Another tale of the Hollywood Whackers

55:33 So Don Cornelius, yeah. That's a good one! DON Cornelius in 2008 he was convicted for assaulting his wife and they threw the book at him really they put him on you know 36 month probation You had to do all kinds of crazy stuff because you know He tried to really hurt her now that what's interesting is this woman and who runs Hollywood John? Who do we assert runs Hollywood? The mob. Which mob specifically? The Russian mob. Her name is Victoria Chapman, that's not her real last name by the way. Victoria with a K she is an ex-Russian supermodel

56:19 And it turns out that they finalized their divorce in 2009. Here's Don Cornelius' quote, I'm 72 years old and have significant health issues and want to finalize this divorce before I die. The divorce was indeed finalized later that year and part of the settlement would give her about half a million dollars in life insurance should he die however stipulation If he committed suicide within two years, then the policy would be void. Well look at that now! The two years passes just a little bit and he suicides himself and she gets a big payout A Russian supermodel Hello Hollywood! Another tale of... The Hollywood Whackers Guy was whacked

57:12 I like it. He was whacked! He was whacked, that's what happens all the time in Hollywood And by the way if you look up her- Look her up and look at her images on Google You get to see what happens when you have one too many facelifts Right so she probably needed to continue and she like called up her other Hollywood mobster friends I am needing more facelifts You must kill him Poor Don But he was not a good guy I mean he uh... He was aggressive towards women That's not okay No one brings that up by the way. No, no, they all say like all these white guilt people

57:52 Seriously, it's all these white guilt people going on and on about what a revolutionary character he was. Can somebody just say... And by the way that show did suck! It sucked! Can someone just say that? Hey Soul Train sucked I did like the crazy dancing That was kind of fun Now I agree they would stop in them right once or twice during this show They would form a line and then two or three of the super dancers would come out do break dance early break dancing Right Things you'd never see anywhere else right and that was only the show is the only thing that was good about the show And Cornelius was kind of full of himself when he was the host. Kinda, kinda! Yeah well anyway... But and it was a syndicated show that was kind of I'll give him that you know from uh Early syndicated show made a lot of money From a television uh He didn't die broke No from a television executive producer standpoint for him to keep that show on the air as long as he did i think It went off-it actually did go off the air for a year or two there was something That happened and then came back with a new host I remember that! And it sucked even more

CHAPTER 24 / 49 Discussion

Radio Production, Pre-Interview Phoniness

A local radio executive's praise for the show's production values leads to a discussion on the "phony" nature of mainstream talk shows. The hosts describe the extensive pre-interview process for shows like Jay Leno, where guests are coached on specific anecdotes days in advance.

radio production· jay leno· pre-interviews· authenticity· media industry

58:51 Yeah, yeah, and then by then of course it already had Club MTV and all that other stuff And who cares you know but? You heard it here first no one else on the mainstream media televisions will tell you that Soul Train basically sucked They won't The reporting is so... It's pandering Like people should be able to listen to our show we do not pander To bullcrap. No No, that would be a waste of sitting down every single day. We don't have time for it I saw the radio guy Pat who runs like seven or eight stations here in Texas he was at a party I was at the other day and he said oh my god you guys are my favorite show so i can't believe... He said I had no idea the production values on your show the fact that you guys

Yeah exactly because you just There's two things about it one is you're wasting content that is valuable It's worth money yeah And you'll never say it again You'd never say this again away people out there don't understand how most of this works out and in the real world? you go to these shows and they put you in a green room or and sometimes they bring in a producer and then they

1:00:32 They pre-interview you. For the Jay Leno show, you have to go three days early to Burbank I mean unless your like Hillary Clinton or Michelle Obama that's a little different but you have to actually go to Burbank days in advance to sit down with the segment producer and then they'll listen to you say oh yeah that's a good story yeah what about your cat? Yeah bring that up! Or Jay will say tell me about your cat And then you launch into the story. I mean, when you watch this on television that's how it's done and it's insulting to intellectual human beings Yeah!

British Tourists Arrested, Marilyn Monroe Tweet

Two British tourists, Emily Bunting and Lee Van Bryan, were barred from entering the U.S. after tweeting slang about "destroying America" and "digging up Marilyn Monroe." The hosts suggest the incident was a PR stunt for the film "My Week with Marilyn" or "Hugo."

CHAPTER 26 / 49 Discussion

SAG Awards, In The Morning Tribute

During the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards, a presenter mentioned a "special In The Morning tribute" while introducing Meryl Streep. The hosts believe a show insider slipped the podcast's catchphrase onto the teleprompter as an "Easter egg" for the audience.

sag awards· meryl streep· tina fey· in the morning· easter egg

1:04:10 What? Hey, by the way you're talking about the sags by the way do have there was a call out for our show on The Sags. Oh no kidding! Play it! Hold on are you leaving Mickey? No. Okay all right love you. I'm going to see Molly. She's gonna go see Molly i think she heard the threesome joke. Tina Fey John Krasinski and Meryl Streep with a special in-memoriam tribute I didn't, I watched the show. I didn't catch that what is it? Meryl Streep with a here's what's weird about it It was a Meryl Streep with a special in the morning tribute there was never any such tribute listen to just threw it in Tina Fey John Krasinski

1:04:48 And Meryl Streep with a special In the Morning tribute. Oh my goodness! A special In the Morning tribute? I think a writer slipped it onto the prompter, one of our insiders What is that, a special in the morning tribute? What is In The Morning? It wasn't anything they just threw out there as In The Morning You're kidding me That's amazing and I watched the show and didn't catch it Well you weren't watching close enough Anyway on...that's cool I'm catching booger so come on By the way for that my friend I will give you But the booger clip or this one? No, this one is better. So I'm looking at the official document the withdrawal of application for admission to United States for this guy this Lee Van Bryan yeah and it's in the show notes and it says during secondary examination which of course you know this this is where it happens right

1:05:46 This tells you that it's a promotion, but it's funny here. And they're sending another message to us Mr.. Brian was placed under oath and his sworn statement was taken by CBP officer Maimon Mr.. Brian confirmed that he had posted on his tweeter account That he was coming to the United States to dig up the grave of Marilyn Monroe But actually says tweeter in the document doesn't say Twitter It says tweeter Wow And so that's the reason... That must be code. I'm beginning to think that when people use that inappropriately it's code for something Yeah, it's probably code to tell us It's a wink-wink nudge-nudge Towards us! Just like hey just say you know just so you know Hey Adam and John here's stuff You can use yeah? There's a wink-wink nudge-nudge. Why not? I can't find the Rick Perry on the tweeters thing anymore

1:06:40 Did I lose that? Yeah, Rick Perry on the tweeters. Well...I still have it! I had it somewhere. That was your clip wasn't my clip. But yeah but I haven't used that in a long time and because it got old. When you have a problem like that or have a new thing play Permaclip 1. Permaclip 1 alright. Alright good thank you very good I don't know what happened to that one. Oh well, it happens Hey by the way here's something that showed up We run through all my clips already one after another but here play clip Secret Service and Romney and then realize that what we talked we've actually made a mistake We make mistakes on this show but did we made a big one here And other caucus states

CHAPTER 27 / 49 Discussion

Secret Service Code Names, Hillary Clinton Broomstick

The hosts discuss Secret Service code names, noting Obama's is "Renegade." They report that agents in Afghanistan allegedly use the code name "Broomstick" for Hillary Clinton, following an anecdote about her throwing a highball glass at an agent who refused to fix her a drink.

secret service· hillary clinton· barack obama· code names· renegade

1:07:34 CBS News confirms that Mitt Romney will have Secret Service protection by Thursday. I was under the impression he already had it and we were under the impression Ron Paul had it but apparently not! No, Ron Paul's the guy who actually needs it Yeah thats what I think. Hmm...thats interesting We know Valerie Jarrett has it The true president of United States Why would she have it and Romney doesn't? That is interesting Why does she need it at all?! Yeah, I know. Maybe that's what the dream was about too close to the truth. Let me see if i can find this...I got a note from another one of our...I get so many insiders you know they send this to me because I've got encrypted email and all that yeah I don't have encrypted email send it to him So we know that Hillary Clinton has a Lucifer. We're gonna have to change the name now

1:08:34 Lucifer has, you know does not get along well with the Secret Service at all. In fact we've discussed on the show previously she can never be president because then the Secret Service will blow the lid on her and talk about how... Well they'll have to let off of whatever it is they have the lid to blow but she was notorious during that Clinton administration I have some friends in Washington that told me They of course they were claiming that Clinton wasn't gonna get re-elected because of her and she apparently treats the Secret Service like scum. So I got a note from one of our military personnel who listened to the show, he says

1:09:13 One of my shooting buddies was on White House detail with the Secret Service and had to get four stitches in his head when Hillary threw a highball glass at him after he refused her order to fix her a drink. And, he said look I'm a secret service agent ma'am not your bartender And you know what the code word is that all the Secret Service guy use in DC but also when like when she flies into Afghanistan, you know they'll have a code word right? Yeah they all do. What's Obama's code word? Do we know his code name? I think we had it on the show once i don't know what it is anymore Hold on a second let's just find out yeah that would be in the secret service code names see if the book of knowledge can help us out here Renegade

1:10:03 What? Renegade. Really?! Renegade, really! Uh do you know what Lucifer's code name is? Well I'm looking No no no this is not gonna be on the book of knowledge This is what the guys uh... well it will be on the book of knowledge once this show gets fanscribed It'll be indexed. Well here wait, let me tell you what it says in the National NNDB for her so we then you can give me the real one or the new one or whatever they're using because I'm sure that changes anyway yeah Where are you Hillary Clinton is? Bill Clinton was eagle

1:10:43 Spread Eagle. Spread Eagle, Chelsea Clinton was energy so she must have been a little go-getter and Hillary Clinton was evergreen well the guys in Afghanistan where this comes from of course call her broomstick Brumstick. I love that one because it has so many multiple meanings. Yeah, broomstick is on her way in warning warning 30 seconds still broom stick arrives. Chuck chuck broomsticks are over here So here's a clip on broomstick leaving that i promised you on Sunday show. What could we do to persuade you to run for vice president?

CHAPTER 28 / 49 Discussion

Hillary Clinton, Vice Presidential Run Denial

In a public appearance, Hillary Clinton dismisses the idea of running for Vice President, stating she is "tired" after 20 years in the political spotlight. She expresses support for Joe Biden and indicates she will stay on as Secretary of State until a transition can occur.

hillary clinton· joe biden· vice president· state department· retirement

1:11:27 Oh my goodness. Well, oh my goodness. I'm so flattered. Let me get my broomstick First of all, it's one of the most extraordinary wonderful experiences being able to work with all of you. Which I am always telling people everywhere how privileged i am. I think that...I have made it clear that and I will certainly stay on until the president nominates someone and transition can occur, but I think after 20 years and it will be 20 years of being on the high wire of American politics and all of the challenges that come with that. It would probably a good idea to just find out how tired I am. Everyone always says that when they leave these jobs

1:12:22 I think from my perspective, I will just work as hard as I can until the last minute. I have the honor of being Secretary and certainly do everything no matter what I do which I have no idea what it will be to support all of you and I'm happy to work with Vice President Biden, who does an excellent job and is a huge advocate and supporter for this department. And for USAID so it's a little odd for me to be totally out of an election season since as Secretary of State I cannot participate but you know I didn't watch any of those debates.

1:13:06 Well there you have it. She's a self-professed tired bitch, there you go So let's go over some of these code names These are kind of funny this way they do change Some people have one to like George HW Bush was first sheepskin then snowstorm then Timberwolf Hmm so it's not that Barbara Bush was Snowbank than tranquility Tim, what was Barbara Bush's name? She was originally Snowbanked and it was Tranquility. Oh... Snowbanked Jimmy Carter was Dasher then Deacon and then Lockmaster Apparently when Obama visited the Gitmo Nation East they called him the officials there had code-named him Smart Alec that's just from The Book of Knowledge so I don't know if it's true It's not listed here Here he is listed as Renegade which you said Yeah And Michelle Obama is Renaissance

1:13:59 I'm looking at the same document now that you have okay. Yeah, then Malia Obama's radiance Sasha is Rosebud Sarah Palin is Denali Denali that's interesting Ali and Todd his driller really What does it Denali JFK was Lancer Cindy McCain parasol My favorite is you got the Reagan ones. Reagan was always apparently Rawhide, but Michael Reagan, the talk show host is Riddler which is Nancy Reagan Rainbow. Oh Dick Cheney codename Backseat as in back seat driver

CHAPTER 29 / 49 Discussion

Mikhail Saakashvili, Georgia Weapons Sales

Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili visited Washington to meet with Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. The hosts link the visit to provisions in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that authorize increased weapons sales and "defense cooperation" with Georgia.

mikhail saakashvili· georgia· hillary clinton· ndaa· weapons sales

1:14:41 Yeah, probably that's kind of good. These are good I like these and there's like a France Sinatra apparently had some Napoleon Hey man we need some cool code names well crackpot and buzzkill That's the less like public knowledge now. We need some like secret code So anyway, broomstick is hanging out and who was visiting Washington but our very own favorite Thai eating shill from Georgia Mikhail Saakashvili. Now we know from reading the National Defense Authorization Act all 908 pages of it what are we doing? Lucifer was there just a couple weeks or months ago time flies

1:15:30 And what did we approve in the National Defense Authorization Act? Do you recall, John? Well the main thing that everyone's upset about is now a habeas corpus is out the window. The U.S. military can police the streets of the American cities and arrest the public at large and then intern them for unknown periods of time in a detainment facility including Gitmo. Right but there was also a provision in there for weapons sales to Georgia remember that Actually, I don't remember it but that sounds right. Yeah so and Hillary's her job is to go complete the sale So she does one of her clippity-clop meetings has a little bit of clippity-clopping the clip a clippety-clop clip

1:16:12 And just listen to what she says about how awesome our relationship is with Georgia. It's a pleasure to welcome the president here to the State Department. He has had a number of excellent meetings and consultations here in Washington, starting with the very comprehensive meeting he had with President Obama in the Oval Office. Georgia is a valued partner... To kill people with! They are actively actively participating in Afghanistan to kill people where Georgian soldiers are showing great courage killing people and professionalism. We are pursuing a system of consultations, John consultations about killing people to determine

1:17:03 of consultations. Okay, to kill people on education on health and good governance and rule of law and killing people defense and security cooperation. So Defense and Security Cooperation that's it killing people the president had a very busy week here more people for him to see there is great deal of interest in Georgia to kill people

CHAPTER 30 / 49 Discussion

Barack Obama, Russia-Georgia Gaffe

During a meeting with President Saakashvili, Barack Obama mistakenly praised "institution building that's been taking place in Russia" instead of Georgia. The hosts highlight the severity of the gaffe given the hostile relationship between the two nations.

barack obama· mikhail saakashvili· georgia· russia· diplomatic gaffe

1:17:38 So then he visits with, well you heard her refer to it with President Obama who makes just about the biggest flub in international foreign politics I've ever heard. Who visits with him? Shakespeare. Oh okay so let's recall when was Georgia in the news I don't know, it was a couple years ago. Yeah and what happened? What happened is all of the sudden fighting broke out between the Russians and Georgia The mainstream media played it off like oh poor little Georgia was attacked when there is undeniable proof that Georgia attacked the Russian troops You recall us discussing all this right And we had a lot evidence to that effect We also found phony websites who owned them and all the rest of it Now listen to our president The leader of the free world

1:18:26 Speaking to the arch enemy of the Russians. The eighth anniversary of the Rose Revolution, I think Georgia should be extraordinarily proud of the progress that it has made in building a sovereign and democratic country And one of the first things that i did was express my appreciation for the institution building thats been taking place in Russia In Georgia Oh God He actually said Russia and wait a minute guy who eats Thai oh yeah Georgia I'm sorry wrong douchebag well there goes his statue. There goes the Obama Airport sign Yeah, you know Obama's angling to take George Bush's place

CHAPTER 31 / 49 Discussion

Backmasking, Obama Satanic and Alien Messages

The hosts revisit the "Yes We Can" backmasking clip, which allegedly sounds like "Thank you Satan" when played in reverse. They also play a new clip of Obama's inauguration speech played backwards, which they jokingly claim mentions "alien saucers."

backmasking· barack obama· satanism· alien saucers· youtube

1:19:19 Yeah, of course. You know as a guy who's streets named after George Bush Airport It's George Bush Airport yeah But to say that and that's and you look and you see soccer's really like Like did I really just hear him say he was so proud of Russia That is that to me those kinds of things back in the 70s John they used to cut though We would call that an international incident Yeah totally Well, nobody played it up at all. Came across a funny clip What? Remember we... We played Obama backwards and yes we can And if you play that backwards it was like I love Satan or something Right! Wasn't that it? Do we still have that clip? I should take a look let me see Yes we can Backwards yeah I think we have it somewhere

1:20:26 Because someone else did some backmasking on his... Oh, thank you Satan. That's what it was Let's see if I can find this and that's not-I don't have the actual clip of got like some YouTube thing which will probably not be what we want but might be worth it. Let's see Yes, we can yes, we can yes, we can yes, we can yes, we can Yes we can! Now let's- ASK YOU SOMETHING!

1:21:14 Thank you Satan. Thank you Satan pretty clear right? Yes, just thank you Satan yes Thank You Satan so this is a clip from There's more that's a classic we need to keep that yeah III really should This is him saying the alien saucers are coming and it's from his from his inauguration speech even greater cooperation and understanding between nations We will begin to responsibly leave Iraq to its people and forge a hard-earned peace in Afghanistan. The power of alien saucers... I'm not getting that one It's a little hard to hear through Skype

CHAPTER 32 / 49 Discussion

Donation Segment, Vacation Karma and Knighthood

The hosts read letters from donors, including a system administrator seeking "vacation karma" and a soldier contributing toward a future knighthood. Christopher Lawton is knighted as "Sir Christopher Lawton" for his cumulative contributions to the show.

Financial Rant, Show Sustainability and Propane Costs

Adam Curry discusses the high cost of living in rural Austin, including expensive propane and septic maintenance. He reiterates that the show's future depends on increased listener support, as he faces upcoming college tuition and tax bills.

CHAPTER 34 / 49 Discussion

Leo Laporte, Nine Million Dollar Revenue Comparison

The hosts discuss reports that Leo Laporte's TWiT network has reached a $9 million annual revenue run rate. While they congratulate him, they argue that his advertising-based model prevents him from discussing controversial political topics that might offend sponsors.

1:31:51 Donating for February the 14th. Why? Because nothing says I love you more than donating to No Agenda and supporting the program. How about donating on the 10th, we missed that palindrome 2-10-12 is a fantastic five number palindrome Is it possible this show has just run its course No, I think a lot of it had to do...I think we've lost a lot of uh well that's yeah that is a possibility. I think about that once in awhile but i'm not gonna but that takes a longer run of no donations than couple weeks or even a month um That's what I'm saying end of February that's when I'm thinking It's possible the show has run its course maybe it's just done I don't know People have heard they finally got the message they haven't can get anyone else to listen We have a lot of people say oh they won't even listen to this show

1:32:40 days of you know whatever the mainstream media, Wolf Blitzer tells them and advertising a lot of people would prefer. You know Leo by the way did and he makes it very public Leo is now at a run rate Leo is doing nine million dollars. You're kidding me? Nine million dollars?! Yes! Wow good on him Well, I mean have to say he took an approach that was commercial it wasn't and he doesn't overdo the commercial but He does have these long commercials And it's the sell you stuff. It is different approach than we have which is just a donation model

1:33:22 Typically when you watch TV or listen to the radio, you're getting two minutes of content and one minute of commercials. So most of your time is being wasted! It's a waste of people's time the way I see it. But it's not just that... Well I think that's a huge part of it. It IS a part of it but I respect Leo for what he has done. I didn't know about the nine million. That's outstanding and I congratulate him But of course, you know he can't lot more relaxed. Yeah really? He's more relaxed than we are but he can't really talk about everything because you can't You know when you have sponsors and of course he talks more about Gadgets and shiny things And yeah, he likes to go into politics once in awhile But he knows he can't go too far cuz he'll get some sponsor pull out exactly

1:34:05 Or you get some group of people who say screw you we're gonna tell your sponsors not to be on your show. We wouldn't last a second with sponsors on this show, not a second! No we could do it but the show would suck. It would be like any other morning show or zoo. We'd be the sole trader podcast baby. One of these and still be the greatest podcast in Europe is with no content Hello everybody, it's the Soul Trainer Podcast here. But I am serious you know? I got a kid coming out here and I gotta pay for her... Yeah well we'll see what happens over the next month but don't forget... You mean remember!

CHAPTER 36 / 49 Discussion

Ancestry.com, Thomas Jefferson and Mormon Messaging

The hosts analyze an Ancestry.com commercial where multiple black individuals discover they are related to Thomas Jefferson. They speculate on the "Mormon messaging" behind the ad, given the company's ties to Provo, Utah, and potential links to the Mitt Romney campaign.

ancestry.com· mormons· thomas jefferson· genealogy· mitt romney

1:36:38 Well, to change the topic... I don't want to change the topic too much but you know the Mormons? Yes. You've heard of them? We have a lot who listen to this show actually Yeah i'm sure we do Don't piss them off Because they correct us every so often The Mormons are behind all the genealogy sites and popularity of genealogy because the Mormons believe and the Mormon can correct me on this but generally believe that you can find one of your old relatives who's dead, who has been dead and you can re-baptize them in the grave and then they can become saved or they can kind of post facto. You're really doing a horrible job at explaining this I really don't understand Well whatever the case is the Mormons like to... let's just put it this way They are behind all the genealogy

1:37:31 databases. Don't they have the biggest database in the world of everybody? If you want to find out about your relatives, Mormons are one of the better places. Ancestry.com is one that is leading... Is that a Mormon outfit?! Yes, it's in headquartered in Provo Utah. Really? I didn't know that! It's in Provo. I mean... I don't see where it says here Mormon but and they run genealogy dot com my family dot com roots web dot-com footnote doc they own the place That's a very successful company by the way So I saw this commercial done by them which has white people and black people finding out who they're related to, and all the black people seem to be related to the same person. Obama? No no this is why-this is why that-this is the clip that says weirdest commercial messaging ever. I'm not quite sure what they're trying to tell us but I found the whole thing to be slightly disturbing

1:38:31 What can I say about Ancestry.com? My adventure began when I received a leaf pointing me in the direction of my great-grandfather, who was a pilot with the flying aces in World War One! On my mother's side, I found an aunt who traced her lineage all the way back to Thomas Jefferson! I was able to trace my bloodline back to nobles and even a king! King. I discovered i'm a direct descendant of Eric the Red after only a couple of hours on Ancestry.com, I was able to trace my family line all the way back to none other than our third president Thomas Jefferson Marie Antoinette Thomas Jefferson Aristotle Thomas Jefferson Alexander the Great Thomas motherf***** Jefferson Join Ancestry.com and begin a one-of-a-kind journey into your unique past because you never know where your story begins Wait a minute, Thomas Jefferson I'm expecting someone to go wheezy? Really

1:39:32 Did you find that a little peculiar? What's up with the Thomas Jefferson bit. Everybody who said Thomas Jefferson was black, every white person is related to somebody else but apparently every black man in the world is related to Thomas Jefferson this guy was I guess screwing everybody Hey slave come over here let me show you something! I'm Thomas Jefferson Yeah, I find this somewhat insulting on the one hand. and bogus, and also it's messaging. What is the message of this? Because we're looking at you know there obviously the Ancestry.com folks are big supporters of Romney let me guess I could be wrong hmmm... And what is the point of this messaging? I've thought about it. I thought it was kind of racist and insulting because there's all those anti-Jefferson stuff going on cuz this is actually an anti Jefferson or Jefferson or white man as a hypocrite

1:40:31 I don't know what no wait a minute. We have we have there's messages in here, and I just can't figure them out help me out it Often in politics you hear people talk about the Hamiltonians and the Jeffersonians right Yeah. So what's the difference between the Hamiltonians and the Jeffersonians? Offhand I'm not sure, but it had to do with monetary policy if i'm not mistaken. But whatever the case is, may- Is this possible...I don't think this has anything to do with that. Is this possibly trying to say to black people that they're really you know kind of part of the same family and they actually have better lineage, they have better lineage than the white people who are you know they were just kind of you know Marie Antoinette is a bad lineage I mean she's like a creep who had her head cut off because she said let them eat cake so it's oh so this thing all you black people should get on board here with Romney because you're really all related to Thomas Jefferson or is that what it is? I don't know. It's...I agree it is very disturbing the way that

1:41:33 particularly the guy who went, Mother Evan Jefferson! I mean that was like wow. It was a woman. Really? Yeah some... And it kind of somehow it felt racist the whole thing. No when I first saw it thought was racist and then I started thinking about the Mormon connection and I started thinking well maybe they're trying to maybe there's some sort of subtle messaging going on here to kind of you know because there's a belief that the Mormons hate blacks and are they you know because there's some years back I guess they didn't let him in the church they do now and uh... i don't know. I just find it that found a whole thing to be slightly disturbing at the same time, I know what trying to accomplish something but not sure what. Trying to find out consulting book of knowledge here Thomas Jefferson sex with slaves Let see if that results anything no interesting I dunno

CHAPTER 37 / 49 Discussion

CBS News, Charlie Rose and Media Conglomerates

The hosts discuss the ownership of CBS by Sumner Redstone and the recent addition of Charlie Rose to the morning lineup. They mention Charlie Rose's interview with Molly Wood and speculate on the network's shifting editorial stance toward the Obama administration.

cbs news· charlie rose· viacom· sumner redstone· molly wood

1:42:34 Don't know what that means one of the mysteries we bring up here on our original content like the lack of well The whole thing is you play to clip. That's not original content See, we're media. We can't criticize this ad... How are we going to criticize this ad if we don't play the clip? Yeah. How do we understand anything if we don't play the clip unless you want people left in the dark tell them go watch something that was on three days ago Hey hey hey! What kind of thinking is this?! It's just someone in the chatroom John take it easy Alright so CBS which is... Is CBS still owned by Viacom or did Sumner Redstone sell that part As far as I know they still are Let's take a look in the book of knowledge. So CBS... Book of Knowledge Day ladies and gentlemen! Now we know that ABC is completely compromised, We got Stephanopoulos in there, we have the president's senior one of his senior advisors is ABC News President's sister Valerie Jarrett's all right it's just all the whole thing is compromised. CBS has always kind of interesting to me

1:43:36 Now they're owned by a media conglomerate, but I think Redstone's still involved. So CBS is really going hard at the Obama administration? Yeah, Redstone is still the executive chairman so they just basically scam some money from someone Well someones paying them to do this So first CBS has this report which was exclusive according to Charlie Rose and when did Charlie Rose become a CBS shill I didn't know this. Yeah, he took over they were having their morning show was the one of the worst things ever and it was just losing audience and so they fired everybody except Erica Hill right put in Charlie Rosen and then this black woman who have seen on other shows is very vibrant but she's

1:44:22 She's not that entertaining. Isn't that Gayle? Rose is just a... Rose is the main guy, he's like the Brian Gumbel of the morning set there and he's so depressing I don't know what they were thinking Tell me about your sexuality and your DNA So by the way, he did this segment with Molly Wood this morning, I could swear he was looking at her boobs Sure he was. You can ask her later, she'll never get on again so you never mind it's all over now hey Adam and John thanks for ruining my career join the club alright so there are two reports the first one is quite astounding to me you thought Solyndra was the only company

CHAPTER 38 / 49 Discussion

Green Energy Bankruptcies, Solyndra and First Solar

A CBS report highlights that 12 clean energy companies received over $6.5 billion in federal assistance, with five already filing for bankruptcy. The hosts focus on First Solar's $3 billion loan guarantee and Nevada Geothermal's ties to Senator Harry Reid as examples of "crony capitalism."

solyndra· first solar· stephen chu· harry reid· loan guarantees

1:45:06 They never thought that. They had a bunch of companies they've been scamming money to How much money do you think in total, that they put into these alternative energy companies from the American Reinvestment Act? I would guess about up to 5 billion 6 point...I think 2 billion dollars and most of them are going bankrupt Listen to this report It's been 4 months since the FBI raided bankrupt Solyndra it received half-billion tax dollars and became political lightning rod Republicans claiming it was a politically motivated investment. We counted 12 clean energy companies that are having trouble after collectively being approved for more than 6.5 billion dollars in federal assistance, five have filed for bankruptcy the junk bond rated beacon evergreen solar spectra watt AES is subsidiary Eastern Energy and Solyndra

1:45:55 Others are also struggling with potential problems. Nevada Geothermal, a home state project personally endorsed by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, warns of multiple potential defaults in new SEC filings reviewed by CBS News It was already having trouble paying the bills when it received 98.5 million dollars in Energy Department loan guarantees SunPower landed a $1.2 billion loan guarantee last fall after a French oil company took it over On its last financial statement, SunPower owed more than it was worth First Solar was the biggest S&P 500 loser in 2011 and its CEO is cut loose even as taxpayers were forced to back a whopping three billion dollars in company loans

1:46:40 Nobody from the Energy Department would agree to an interview. Last November, at a hearing on Solyndra, energy secretary Stephen Chu strongly defended the government's attempts to bolster America's clean energy prospects. In the coming decades, the clean energy sector is expected to grow by hundreds of billions of dollars We're in a fierce global race to capture this market. Economist Maurici says even somebody as smart as Secretary Chu, an award-winning scientist shouldn't be playing venture capitalist with tax dollars. Tasking a Nobel Prize mathematician to make investments for the US government is like asking the manager of the New York Yankees to be the general in charge of America's troops in Afghanistan it's that absurd so

1:47:27 Watching this report and it was much longer than this. This was edited down for your protection and convenience This coincides with exactly what the Ulsterman White House insider was saying is that the real scandal of the Obama administration The real scandal is all this money they gave to their cronies with the With the stimulus, and then that is what? The people in power, the people with all the money are really trying to bring to the forefront is that the Obama administration which I think it's just a small club of people connected to Chicago took our money and gave it to like you know Harry Reid's buddy there in Nevada.

1:48:14 And that this scandal is supposed to be bigger than Fast and Furious. And now I'm seeing CBS doing this report? I mean, I think that's significant and we'll see if more comes out if more jump on board but in the big money game John, I'm thinking that this really is a push to discredit the Obama administration Yeah it could be and it could also just be tip of the iceberg Well THAT I think for sure This and I'm not quite sure where to look you know, I love doing this stuff Although I will say that one company got three billion dollars. It's so much bigger than cylinder But no one's talking about it now is first solar did we ever talk about for a solar? No three billion dollars in fin gut and guaranteed loans Now another CBS program 60 minutes

CHAPTER 39 / 49 Discussion

Leon Panetta, 60 Minutes Terrorist Definition

In a "60 Minutes" interview, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta discusses the government's authority to target U.S. citizens with drones. Panetta's circular logic—defining a terrorist as someone who is a terrorist "in his book"—is criticized by the hosts as a dangerous expansion of executive power.

leon panetta· 60 minutes· terrorism· ndaa· enemy combatant

1:49:05 Lays into you were talking about it earlier the National Defense Authorization Act section 1021 please do not look for 1031 as the mainstream media is trying to Distract you and trying to steer you away from where their real language is so we have the guy interviewing Panetta Leon Panetta, the current director of a defense secretary who used to be CIA little swip-swap there and And he specifically says, hey wait a minute. You can now go and drone American citizens Now this answer from Panetta is so meme driven Everything... every meme we ever talk about on the show is in his answers Well you know without getting into the specifics of the operation If someone is a citizen There's the first one A citizen Of The United States and is a terrorist

1:50:06 who wants to attack our people and kill Americans. In my book that person is a terrorist." Now, did you hear what he just said? If you're a terrorist then in my book you're a terrorist Yeah, he said if you're a terrorist... You're a terrorist Yeah! That's exactly- it's not like with the definition of a terrorist He just says if you're a terrorist and you want to kill American people Not oh your killing no if you want to kill American people Then in my book your terrorists so a terrorist is a terrorist And The reality is... And by the way, has he published his book? What book is that?! This guy's very dangerous. That under our laws that person is a terrorist So under our laws that person's a terrorist if they're terrorists it makes no sense and we're required under process of law Okay I gotta stop again what is process of law John what the hell is that? What is the process of law

1:51:08 Well, it implies due process but he never says that. And there is no due process if you're just going to define some average person as a terrorist... Because in his book you're a terrorist. ...because you are a terrorist if you are a terrorist In my book! Now out on hardcover So anybody can be a terrorist essentially pretty much, you know complaining to the government about the food stamp program. Mentioning too much, sending too many letters and could be defined as a terrorist. Person is a terrorist and we're required under process of law to be able to justify

1:51:51 that despite the fact that this person may be a citizen, he is first and foremost a terrorist. My God! No you're first and foremost A CITIZEN! Thank you You're not first and FOREMOST a terrorist That is... This is so outrageous Your first and foremost a terrorist NO! You are always the citizen FIRST before anything else This guy is an a-hole! What? that

1:52:45 We can do the same thing with someone that we define as a terrorist for whatever reason, since there's no real... you know what does it mean? It's not a person who has actually done anything. No it is in his book! He looks it up and he goes hey Dvorak! We think he's a terrorist. I looked at the book and I said- This is pretty good. I looked at the book and I said- I think we should probably stop doing this show Just as we go after Bin Laden, just as we go after other terrorists. Why? Because... Isn't that beautiful?! Isn't it beautiful what he's doing there? Why because...? Why because... Hey shut up in my book! Go after bin laden just as we go after other terrorists why because their goal is to kill our people

CHAPTER 40 / 49 Discussion

Due Process, Military Courts and Battlefield USA

The hosts analyze Panetta's claims regarding due process for "citizen terrorists," noting that such individuals would be tried in military rather than civilian courts. They discuss the "Expatriation Act" and the legal definition of the United States as a "battlefield" in the war on terror.

due process· military courts· enemy combatant· expatriation act· battlefield

1:53:31 And for that reason we have to defend ourselves. God, this is so just mind-boggling and it's on CBS! They're not entitled to due process of law under the Constitution in the United States they lose their citizenship... Now listen to him This is about the expatriation act that they're trying to push through They will lose now here you gonna find out how you lose your citizenship but he lies his way all the way through this. ...this administration decides there are terrorists You know, people... this person wanted to... Why? Because... suddenly raised questions about... Now he says this person. I didn't quite understand that. Back it up! Yeah he says this person but there's no reference- I'm gonna go back to the question There is no reference to anybody He's referring to a terrorist in general

1:54:21 Okay, a citizen terrorist. A citizen terrorist! There you go I'm a citizen terrorist This person wanted to suddenly raise questions about whether or not they're terrorists and they were to return to the United States Yeah i'd like to raise a question point of order am I a terrorist? I'd like to know Am I a terrorist Of course they would be entitled to due process Due process but due process in a military court he evades the truth That's something we provide every US citizen. And for that matter, frankly any terrorist who is arrested we provide due process to that individual as well. What? It's a blatant lie! We don't provide any due process... Yeah you provide military process it's like here how the proces goes let me look at my book your terrorist off you go to get them old boy

1:55:15 But if a terrorist is out there on the battlefield, and the terrorist is threatening this country... Here it comes. Wait wait wait did he say on the battlefield? Did he use an and or an or when he's go back back in here that I want to hear that again On THE Battlefield I think. Because, you know they're trying to define the USA as a battlefield Well of course it is! It's already been defined That is indeed the goal He says THE Battlefield Is threatening this country That person is an enemy combatant Hold on let me just back up I didn't go back far enough Of course they would be entitled to due process

1:55:51 That's something we provide every US citizen. And for that matter, frankly any terrorist who is arrested we provide due process to that individual as well but if a terrorist is out there on the battlefield and the terrorist is threatening this country... So first you've got to be a terrorist threatening this country then you get named that person is an enemy combatant bada-bing! That's the language, an enemy combatant. And people in the Occupy movement are enemy combatants they're on the battlefield yeah they're on the battlefield drone targets and when an enemy combatant holds a gun at your head

CHAPTER 41 / 49 Discussion

Drone Strike Authorization, Presidential Sign-off

Leon Panetta confirms that the President of the United States is the sole individual who must "sign off" on drone strikes against targeted individuals. The hosts express alarm at the lack of judicial oversight and the "maniacal" nature of the current administration's kill-list policies.

drones· barack obama· leon panetta· cia· targeted killing

1:56:33 You fire back. This is what I find to be outrageous So it's one thing if an enemy is holding a gun to your head It's another thing, If a guy is out in the desert somewhere going like... I hate America! I think there's a big difference between those two Don't you think so? Oh yeah Who makes that decision Who makes that decision, John? Who makes the decision to fire back i.e., make a drone strike? Who is the sole individual who can make that decision? I think the president can because he's already done it Yes! It is THE President and no one else

1:57:11 decision as to whether or not uh... ultimately to do that presidency president states obviously reviews by these cases and reviews the legal justification and in the end does says go or no go so it's a requirement of the administration under the current legal understandings at the president has to make declaration correct not you that's correct only the president can decide what's recommendation we make special recommendations cia director makes from my prior role But in the end when it comes to... Why does he laugh about that? Why does he laugh, you know in my prior role. He's just getting the same job! He hasn't changed jobs! No, he's laughing because That's why he is laughing. He's laughing because of my prior role but yeah like I'm still not working there. No, I think he's laughing because he's like I sent so many people down on a list and drone them. I can't even keep track anymore. Well that's a possibility It's so

1:58:08 Just kill people! Recommendation we make, it's a recommendation the CIA director makes in my prior role. But in the end when it comes to going after someone like that the President of United States has to sign off and he should. And he should!! Ladies and gentlemen, first of all this gentleman is a maniac. And insane... These guys are all maniacs! The country is run by maniacs and the idiot public keeps voting them back in. And do you want Mitt Romney to decide whether you get killed? Is that not...? Romney was already confronted on one of the debates with what he thought of the NDAA and that particular provision. He said it was fine! Yeah, he can't wait to get his finger on the button They got a whole joystick there You know they got videos on the drones as they're shooting It's like they're playing Xbox these people The CIA we had this cool Xbox game It's called drone your ass

1:59:15 It's insane. Absolutely insane and quite disturbing Very, very disturbing Thank you CBS though I mean I don't know... Thumbs up! Somebody got irked. It must have been Redstone or somebody something happened We missed that we whatever was I'm sure we if we dig a little bit it could be the hearings on CBS is very involved in the hearing some of the FAA on censorship mm-hmm and there's a there's there's some backstory to this because they essentially at CBS turned On the administration with this yes particular piece yeah, this is This is a hit piece

1:59:56 designed to expose the administration for a number of things. And this part here just got us frightened the public It's frightening me and when you see the video I guess it's... Hell, ya know his propane tank must have exploded He's talked about it in the past! I keep telling Mickey I am not flying anymore in my life I'm just not gonna fly anymore because that's how they'll do it Oh yes unfortunate accident it always happens two miles from the airport He was on the right approach and then he just disappeared from the radar. Don't know what happened, don't know what it's crazy how that happens no way man I'm packing heat! I'm driving around with a judge and you try to come up to me if you look hot in your blonde I'm putting a cap in your ass because you're probably CIA to kill me okay so

Egypt Soccer Riot, Greek Economic Crisis

A soccer riot in Egypt results in 73 deaths, while in Greece, professional soccer leagues face collapse due to the economic crisis. Greek players have reportedly gone on strike over seven months of unpaid wages and a lack of health insurance.

egypt· greece· soccer riot· economic crisis· health insurance

2:00:53 On lighter news... No wonder people don't want to donate to the show! Enough already, get away from me. So any more lighter news? Play the soccer riot story let's get some news out there Oh my goodness okay Jonathan Hunt live tonight at The United Nations John thanks Some American I should say a soccer riot in Egypt today killed at least 73 people It hurt a thousand more, that's according to local officials at a soccer match. Fans stormed the field just seconds after the home team unexpectedly beat the league's best club. Witnesses say fans hurled rocks and bottles one another Egyptian officials say most of the victims died from concussions deep cuts to the head and suffocation during the stampede

2:01:38 There was more soccer news, or do you need to have to comment on this? No! It's a game. I think we should talk about soccer more Okay well it's part of... Yeah, things are great over there in the Euro land. Things are really looking up and we got Haiku Herman on the way and of course our buddy Nigel Farage who got into a little tiff there in the European Parliament at Starfleet Command but first this very sad news about Greece and soccer. Empty seats and a tattered flag in an Athens soccer stadium, A grim metaphor for the crisis hitting Greece's cash-strapped soccer leagues The fate of the country's second and third tier teams now hangs in the balance after players went on strike over unpaid wages and lack of health insurance

2:02:34 Football League vice president Stelios Tsvakiannakis says the league has been hit badly by the current economic crisis. He says this has been the worst crisis for Greek soccer since a professional game was created. So they can't even pay their health insurance? How many times... yeah, let me play that again and let's count the number of times she uses the exact same word crisis Empty seats and a tattered flag in an Athens soccer stadium. A grim metaphor for the crisis hitting Greece's cash-strapped soccer leagues The fate of the country's second and third tier teams now hangs in the balance after players went on strike over unpaid wages, and lack of health insurance Football League vice president Stelios Sfakianakis says the league has been hit badly by the current economic crisis

2:03:30 He says this has been the worst crisis for Greek soccer since a professional game was created. There's more to the... Listen to the whole report, see if crisis comes back. I have three so far Three or four? Was it four? Yeah, three Things have gotten worse as we have not received any funding Funding our income since last May We don't have the television contract that we had with a national broadcaster nor have we reached an agreement with OPAP the Greek organization of football prognostics, despite it being practically February. Despite the suspension of games some teams like Ethnikos Asteras were still training in Athens its coach says that the problem of uninsured players must be tackled. This year the second and third tier national teams have been left at the mercy of God

2:04:26 The athletes can't play uninsured. The league is a tough one, we have many injuries every Sunday and they've given insurance only during some games. That's the worst thing! I would rather the games never start if the players don't get insurance." This midfielder says he hasn't been paid for the last seven months and is now forced to borrow money from friends and family. I don't think she says it anymore... Well so this has made out to be an insurance crisis? Yes Yes, Christ sorry That's right whenever we say crisis now. We have to ring the bell So it is a crisis when you hear seven months And this really ruins it because I was waiting for the World Cup soccer and of course I was gonna call Greece It was so obvious They're gonna win But now these guys aren't even good on the field because if they get hurt then that you know then they can't they've no insurance How do you get hurt in soccer? Oh you can give you getting messed up in soccer? but

CHAPTER 43 / 49 Discussion

Nigel Farage, European Parliament Nazi Accusations

Nigel Farage causes a stir in the European Parliament by referencing British media reports that compare German influence in the EU to "Gauleiters." The segment includes the heated exchange where Farage's microphone is cut off as he argues the EU project is fueling nationalism and resentment.

nigel farage· martin schulz· european parliament· nazism· nationalism

2:05:23 Anyway, Nigel Farage and this is an interesting clip because the translators take over. And so you can't hear the original audio and apparently Nigel Farage quoted a British publication This is not in the clip but it comes back talking about how many of the Germans in in the European Parliament are Nazis something to which both Herr Schultz Who of course is now the big Juana there in its Starfleet command and some of his cohorts from Germany take rather large exception to and Nigel just keeps on screaming. They turn his mic off they tell him to shut up slave It's it's a it's an interesting exchange about a gall I as a German, I very much object to

2:06:17 to democratic Germany being put on the same footing as Nazi Germany. And so I would like an apology from this gentleman, nobody in Berlin is sending Gauleiter anywhere in Europe that is a speech full of hatred this incitement of hatred between European people he should withdraw his words or you should ensure that this whole thing does not recur Some might say, and indeed the biggest selling Sunday newspaper in Britain used that word. And if you want to talk about hatred just look at what this European project is doing! We have German newspapers slagging off the Italians for being cowards, slagging off the Greeks for being lazy and useless... ...and we have Italian and Greek newspapers depicting

2:07:05 depicting leading figures in Germany wearing Nazi uniforms. Surely the whole point is that this project, which was designed to bring us all together in peace and harmony, is actually ripping us apart and bringing back nationalisms? And if there was one country I really had a go at it my speech, it was actually the United Kingdom because I admitted that we behaved towards Greece wasn't acceptable in the 19th century." So now they turn his mic off Translator comes in. Nationalism is propagated in this house by those who wear flags upon their desks and nationalism upon their sleeve, I believe you're one of them The next speaker is Mr Brock. They are yelling! Mr Brock has the floor.

2:08:08 Mr. Brock has the floor. Mr. Brock can talk now. Please sir, take your seat. Mr. Brock has the floor. He's roofing him! I'm gonna roofie you! Did you hear that? That is what he said. I'm gonna roofie you! Roofie you!! I am calling to order asking you to take your seat. Mr. Farage, I am calling you to order please take your seat otherwise you'll have to leave the chamber. Mr. Brock has the floor I'm gonna roofie you! I heard it. I'm gonna roofie him." So, it's a mess there and of course Nigel is right. It is...I speak to Dutch people all the time and its really quite frightening how they speak about the Italians and Greeks. They do the same thing. Lazy ass Greece, Greeks, stupid Italians. It is ripping Europe apart. Yeah because these countries are not designed to be hooked up like this. No

CHAPTER 44 / 49 Discussion

European Stability Mechanism, New Fiscal Treaty

The hosts discuss the "informal" meeting where a new European treaty was fast-tracked to enforce fiscal discipline. Herman Van Rompuy explains the "debt break" and "automatic correction mechanisms" that will be integrated into national constitutions to ensure irrevocable economic integration.

esm· lisbon treaty· herman van rompuy· fiscal integration· brussels

2:09:09 So bullcrap, I mean this is a Europe is the way it is because of a long history and this is a very...it's cultural. It's deeply ingrained cultural and its language base too people think a certain way largely because their language influences the way you structure your thinking Because you cannot, there are certain things that you can't think about if doesn't even exist in the language And unless you have a single language in the whole of Europe, you're not going to have an EU that works. This whole thing is a disaster! So on the 30th just a couple days ago they rammed through a new treaty

2:09:49 Just amazing how this has happened. Now we have the Lisbon Treaty, which we had a referenda, we had all kinds of voting on this you know Ireland said no, ah pfft stupid Irish do over oh there it is Ireland says yes And because they have to fire up the ESM more than a year and half early, which you heard on this show first. The European Stability Mechanism which has already been voted on by the finance ministers in July of 2011 forces every single member of the eurozone to pony up any money that is requested from Brussels. Cash call you've got to pay, there's no way out of it! There's plenty of information about this in the show notes even a great YouTube video in German with English subtitles explains exactly how it works and so what do they do? They create a new treaty

2:10:43 A brand new one all of a sudden, overnight at an informal meeting that everyone has to sign off on and must be entered into every single national constitution. Haiku Herman takes the floor in Starfleet Command and explains... well we're sorry but we gotta screw you! This treaty must be seen as just one element of the reforms to economic governance Economic governance, ladies and gentlemen. Not financial economic governance! Send your tax money to Brussels We have achieved over the last two years reforms which involve both responsibility and solidarity And which include the six-pack which remains the backbone of our new governance architecture This treaty is about more responsibility and better surveillance

2:11:33 Surveillance. Every country that signs it commits to bringing in a debt break into its legislation. You hear? A debt break, he said dead but I think he meant debt break into its own legislation. Preferably at constitutional level. Boo! And by the way the document in The Show Notes you'll find the draft treaty January 27th PDF 3% if you don't, if you can't keep your debt under three percent the fine is 0.2 % of GDP for the first fine that's a lot of money an automatic correction mechanism will reinforce compliance Reinforce compliance automatically and shining the debt break in the treaty will enhance its credibility This important as a confidence building measure

2:12:24 It represents a major step forward towards closer and irrevocable fiscal and economic integration, and stronger governance in the euro area. Irrevocable? It will significantly bolster the outlook for fiscal sustainability and euro-area sovereign debt, and therefore enhance economic growth. Placing this commitment to self-control in the treaty shows our long term and irreversible commitment to avoiding excessive deficits and debts. So, this is basically all language meant for hedge funds and bankers he's saying you can trust us really you can trust us we've got them all they're signing off on this thing We got the thumbscrews on And they have to pay

2:13:08 They have to pay at constitutional level. It will be absolutely ingrained, embedded in law. Don't worry! Send us your money no problem!" And then he continues... Like most members of the European Council and like the European Parliament I would have preferred these issues to be addressed by changing existing treaties rather than through a separate treaty. But it was so much more fun to draft up something that no one got to vote on just how we got here in the first place As you know, the necessary unanimity for this was not forthcoming There was no choice So not everyone wanted to be on board but we forced them That's what that means But to go down this route

2:13:46 But in doing so, I was personally determined to keep the new provisions as close as possible to the EU treaties. Except for that money thing! We were not setting up a separate organization but the means of reinforcing our union and had endeavored in the same way when setting up the Euro Plus Pact. I hope that our successors will succeed in integrating this treaty into the EU treaties. Screwed Hmm. That's interesting, that's a good one! John is like... hmmm let me think what not so good that going on over there? No this is headed to disaster these guys are just out of control Well you thought we had some kind of patent on idiots running the show? Nah they're worse than we are The hero

Michelle Obama, Agent Provocateur Shopping Trip

Reports indicate Michelle Obama spent $50,000 on luxury lingerie at Agent Provocateur in New York. The hosts note that the shop on Madison Avenue was closed for her visit and that the company's stock price spiked following the news.

michelle obama· agent provocateur· madison avenue· lingerie· shopping

2:14:48 And that concludes our European segment ladies and gentlemen. That is what I call depressing. Meanwhile while President Obama has his finger on the button to drone you whenever he feels like it because he's the man, Michelle Obama spent $50,000 at Agent Provocateur in New York while she was there. For what? Shopping. For what? Clothes. Fifty thousand dollars when she buying couture?! Yes Agent provocateur you've certainly you've heard of that. Yes agent provocateur exactly yeah $50,000 she did so well because of course when the first lady buys a certain brand everybody else like ah everyone's gonna buy that now so the

2:15:39 First of all, they closed off the whole shop on Madison Avenue. Oh yeah that day everyone's real happy about their way they travel around and shut down the cities The stock price actually spiked Of what? What company? Agent Provocateur That's the name of the company?! Yes You've never seen this fashion? Agent Provocateur? No let me look Or agent provocateur as we might say Yeah they spiked on the UK exchange I don't know if there listed in the US Sexy, luxurious lingerie. Mm-hmm Oh yeah She bought $50,000 worth of lingerie? I thought she brought couture dresses Well it's couture lingerie No she bought more, she bought... What such thing as couture lingerie Of course there is! What are you talking about?!

2:16:27 And you know who buys most of this stuff is... This looks like a rip-off of Victoria's Secret. There are a couple peekaboo things that are quite interesting. Peekaboo? Hey, citizen! I see two citizens in front of me. Yeah, um... But it's $50,000. Whoa! Do it while ya can lady. She's probably related to Thomas Jefferson. Thomas mother F Jefferson?! Oh wow, okay. So let's see what we got here I got a Pooper Pinsky Brockovich clip that goes on forever. Oh lovely! But it does start off where you can just kind of hear Dr. Drew kind of hinting around but nobody will say anything they will not bring up Gardasil he has been doing his whole show

CHAPTER 46 / 49 Discussion

Erin Brockovich, Gardasil and Gene Testing

Erin Brockovich is investigating a mysterious illness among girls in New York, which some doctors have labeled "conversion disorder." The hosts suggest the symptoms may be an adverse reaction to the Gardasil vaccine, potentially linked to specific gene pools that Merck failed to test properly.

erin brockovich· gardasil· merck· gene testing· conversion disorder

2:17:28 Is about this. It is lengthy, wow that's a long clip I wouldn't play the whole thing but you can play it just to get you right Mom isn't satisfied with the answer she has been getting State health department officials said they found no environmental or infectious cause for the girls symptoms Some doctors who examined the girl say the ticks could be stress related something called conversion disorder we're going to have more on that in a moment Activist Erin Brockovich is now getting involved. Over the weekend, some of her associates collected soil samples near the girls' school. Brockovich is looking into a chemical that spilled in 1970 train derailment about four miles from the school I talked to her and Dr. Drew about the case. Dr. Drew you interviewed some these young women some these girls exhibiting really astonishing symptoms. I know haven't given them an actual examination but as a doctor from what you know what's your assessment?

2:18:17 Okay, hold on a second because theory theory theory theory Remember they were doing gene testing. They wanted to have the girls come in and do voluntary gene testing Here's what I think happened. I think that Merck who? Runs the Gardasil outfit I think they neglected to do proper Testing on genes and this by the way goes all the way back to Thomas Jefferson that probably Human resources from a certain gene pool can have severe adverse effects to this particular vaccine and they're now trying to figure it out, and they're scrambling because of course if they just didn't do the proper testing which I believe you have to do for all kinds of injectables. You have to check gene pools that this is why this is being covered up

CHAPTER 47 / 49 Discussion

OMB Budget Projections, 30 Percent Tax Increase

The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) and OMB projections indicate that federal revenues are scheduled to rise by 30 percent between 2012 and 2014. The hosts interpret "revenue" as a euphemism for massive tax hikes required to manage the $1.1 trillion deficit.

omb· cbo· tax hikes· federal deficit· gdp

2:19:06 I mean it sounds good yeah actually does make some sense you've heard enough of that clip yes i have just wanted to play part of a let's say I got some other I guess a couple things out here is a couple things I gotta go I wanna just tell everybody out there listen the show Your taxes are going up no matter what anyone tells you. Your taxes are going up and they're gonna go up, no matter who gets elected because this is already planned because I was watching a C-SPAN presentation by the Congressional Management Budget Office, the office for managing congressional, O-C-M or OMB whatever it is. OMB yeah OMB and he says they're going up and then I just caught a hearing where somebody else just kind of casually said it was going up as if it was a done deal and all we're seeing right now with the pre election is just bullcrap arguing that's got nothing to do with reality because this whole thing has been fixed and I'm gonna actually want you to play part two of the clip

2:20:07 which says you're getting tax part two, which is the second part of this. I heard this after and then you can play the part one and you can hear where it really is confirmed by the manager... OMB. OMB. Depsit, It's important to remember that President got everything he wanted in the first 2 years We are living in Obama economy At the White House, spokesman Jay Carney argued that President has done his part to cut spending. He said the real problem is the other side steadfastly rules out tax hikes What has been lacking thus far is any willingness to deal with revenue in any meaningful way by the Republicans and that...and that's just not the approach that broad base of American public feels it's right way to go. The Congressional Budget Office

2:20:57 You can stop it there, which is bullcrap by the way. Nobody wants to be taxed more revenue is code for taxes They don't want they've changed we've gotten a new word in the vocabulary say revenues as tax revenue Yeah now they mentioned now that guy from OMB goes on and on about this and he talks about just Casually talks about the taxes that are going up because of my law There's a bunch of them going out in play And then he mentions that government shows that he has this horrible graph that shows that we're damn near broke and then he shows it going up and then he just casually mentions they are not cutting back on the government spending much. It's a very minor thing, but we're still gonna do fine but the way we get there is by being taxed A LOT more! And this is confirmation as far as I'm concerned. Let me turn now to our budget projections

2:21:43 Under current law, we expect that this year's deficit will be about 1.1 trillion dollars. At 7% of GDP that is nearly 2 percentage points less than the domestic deficit. We're twice as bad as everyone else...7 percent of GDP? Isn't that like good? Which would mean we'd be thrown out of the EU! Yeah! No law! Oh, we can't join the European Union damn! Recorded last year but still larger than any other deficit between 1947 and 2008 Over the next few years, projected deficits in CBO's baseline narrow sharply as you can see in the picture averaging 1.5% of GDP and totaling about $3 trillion between 2013 and 2022 with deficits small relative to the size of economy debt held by public drops a little as share of GDP in our baseline projections but remains quite high

2:22:40 Much of the projected decline in the deficit occurs because, under current law, revenues will rise considerably. In particular between 2012 and 2014, revenues in our baseline shoot up by more than 30 percent because of the recent or scheduled expiration of various tax provisions and new taxes and other collections that are scheduled to go into effect. Federal spending on the baseline declines modestly relative to GDP in the next few years 30% Wow. Revenue, revenue keep saying revenues, revenues are going to increase 30%. That means taxes are going up 30%, and again this mentions well you know there's a minor decline modest in spending so it's gonna be a lot of more taxes being taken from the public and spending is bad we're gonna spend it So let me bring all of this together for my final presentation of this program

CHAPTER 48 / 49 Discussion

Evelyn Rothschild, One World International Currency

Sir Evelyn Rothschild discusses the necessity of moving toward an international currency to eliminate the "irritation" of currency speculation. The hosts frame this as the final goal of global banking families: a one-world fiscal and economic governance system.

evelyn rothschild· international currency· global governance· banking· speculation

2:23:41 So with our 7% deficit of GDP, which means we cannot join the Eurozone. Which is sad! With Europe being completely and royally f'ed where all of your money is going to go to bankers This isn't... this is it's all code that they're using but it's going to go to bankers you're paying your taxes will go directly to bankers as will ours by the way What is the final goal? It has been said time and again, and you can call me a conspiracy theorist. You can call me a creep. You can call it whatever you want but this is about truly one world fiscal and economic governance which means all your money goes to the banks, the banks rule you, and we're going to have a global currency

2:24:29 A one world money, because the euro has to go away. The dollar is just paper at this point Here is Sir Evelyn Rothschild and yes I believe that he's one of the evil ones When he asked a question about the Rimby which isn't that Indian thing? I think so. Listen to what his answer is. Well, you're talking to a person who's quite old. If I'm around in five years, I'd like to think that is the case. I think we've all got to move towards that opportunity and I think the challenge also is whether we should move toward an international currency

2:25:21 because the speculation and the complexity of currency has caused some of the irritation, not only among trading nations but among individuals. But it's not for me to say how it will happen but I think everyone who knows how to deal with these situations is very cognizant of the problem it takes to go over it get over it So there you have it top banking family saying, well obviously I'm old so you know my time is up but it's very clear we're going to go towards a one world international currency and it's not up to me to say how its gonna happen. Just look around you! They're bringing down everything crashing everything and I can't take this any other way than that's the plan

CHAPTER 49 / 49 Discussion

Baltic Dry Index, Show Outro and Sunday Preview

John C. Dvorak warns that the Baltic Dry Index has hit a 30-year low, a leading indicator that preceded the 2008 financial crisis. The hosts conclude the show by urging donations to keep the program on the air and promising to return on Sunday with more original content.

baltic dry index· 2008 crisis· economic collapse· camp mofo· silicon valley

2:26:12 Well, it's definitely a huge slowdown being created. My Mimi is always moaning about the fact that they're now tearing down houses you know that were unsold or being foreclosed are just ripping them down tearing them down because we need to get a short we just keep pushing down the price of housing even though its actually way too low So yeah, and the thing that I brought at the very beginning of this show which I'll probably put in a little maybe paper and send it out to people. Which concerns me to an extreme which is the Baltic Dry Index By the way he was talking about Chinese currency obviously Could be Yeah Remnant B

2:26:55 The Baltic Dry Index is at something like a 30 year low. And what does that mean? The Baltic Dry Index is a very interesting indicator that discusses only raw materials that are being shipped around the world, coal wheat cotton copper, just anything like that and it is a leading indicator meaning whatever it does other things happen afterwards. And it is so low at this point that its lower than when the crash took place in 2008. You mean the crisis? The crisis in 2008

2:27:33 The Baltic Dry Index really just cratered and then it It didn't even fully recover, it's never recovered. And now it's cratering again even though the stock market is at 12 thousand. This whole thing is rigged to collapse and you know I don't know if that helps us get more donations probably not but I think people got to keep this show on the air so they can hear about this sort of thing and I'll discuss this more in detail. It's frightening to look at this chart. Frightening! And you are a financial analyst my friend? No, no I'm very good at it Well there you have it, thoroughly- I can see the obvious with this thing. This is unbelievable! I'm thoroughly bummed out now. Thanks John great SirGitmo do we have a producer update coming up later today or something that i should be promoting on the stream? Let me know in the back channel of course So there you have it uh...I don't think any other podcast or any other show really will give you this type of information

2:28:34 And maybe had a laugh or two along the way. Maybe at our expense! Yeah, oh yeah he's laughing about droning you and we'll be back here on Sunday to do it all over again with original content coming to you from Camp MoFo Well, we've got chemtrails in the skies. In the morning everybody my name is Adam Curry and from northern Silicon Valley where I'm watching the Baltic dry index. I'm John C. Dvorak talk to you again on Sunday right here on NOAgenda Back on a Young Turks. Well, this morning we were talking with J.R Jackson who's our long time producer and he was saying you know every network and station covers Black History Month in the same way you find out about Boogert T Washington in like little snippets etc. booger booger booger booger to vorac dot org slash n-a
