About this episode

The Russian government is reportedly developing a zombie gun designed to control human central nervous systems, while the United States military deploys its own Active Denial System for crowd control. CNN reporter Erin Burnett recently detailed these directed energy weapons, which use high-frequency waves to create an intense heating sensation on the skin. These advancements in non-lethal weaponry coincide with new Assault Intervention Devices being tested in British prisons and Afghan combat zones.

Media narratives are shifting as NBC faces criticism for editing 911 tapes in the George Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin case to heighten racial tension. Simultaneously, President Barack Obama appeared on the USA Network to introduce To Kill a Mockingbird, a move viewed as a strategic political play ahead of the 2012 election. International instability grows as Malawi President Bingu wa Mutharika dies of a heart attack following warnings of Economic Hitman activity, and Dutch Queen Beatrix visits Bahrain despite ongoing violent protests. In the United States, Senator Barbara Boxer sponsored the MAP-21 bill, which includes a hidden provision on page 1447 allowing the government to revoke passports for delinquent tax debt.

Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak analyze the 750 percent increase in college tuition and the proposed DSM-5 criteria that could classify social drinking as a mental health disorder. The duo performs a formal knighthood ceremony for top producers Chad Biederman and Alan Bean while debating the merits of the Yoshi Blue Diamondware Skillet. The episode concludes with a chilling Red Book prediction regarding a potential assassination attempt on the President within the next month.

Easter Celebrations, Kinder Eggs, and the Dynatrap Gnat Solution

Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak open the show discussing Easter traditions and the legality of Kinder eggs in the United States. Curry describes a successful resolution to a gnat infestation in his Austin studio using a Dynatrap device, which utilizes UV light and a fan to capture insects. The hosts debate the ethics of "catch and release" for household pests.

00:00 She's got the right look and feel. Adam Curry, John C. DeVore. It's Sunday April 8th 2012 time for your Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 3 9 or 8 This is no agenda Enjoying my illegal Kinder eggs here at Camp MoFo in the capital of the drone star state Austin Tejas. In the morning everybody, I'm Adam Curry and wishing everyone a happy Easter and other celebrations from Northern Silicon Valley. I am John C DeBorda. It's Crackpot & Buzzkill! Now is Eastern on one those fake

00:37 Fake holidays or is this a real one? Did the guy really get up from under that rock, is that how it works? Yeah he had to push the rock away. We're not celebrating... Roll away the stone! Yeah we're not celebrating uh...we're celebrating next weekend Why? Because Christina's working in Holland and she wanted to be here for Easter. Oh, so you're gonna have an Easter next week? Yeah! So we got our eggs and everything... The eggs are going bad No they won't it'll be fine We've got an egg tree and all kinds of... You're gonna egg the tree?! Now we have a egged tree Hey can you hear it humming in the background probably not It is audible though a little bit What is it? My Dinah trap

01:21 I'm sorry? My dynatrap. Well, gesundheit! Yeah you know after the gnat attack that i had on... Oh yeah yeah your little uh... On the previous episode yeah I got at least, must have been at least 30 different emails from people with suggestions which kind of ranged from put apple cider with a little bit of brown sugar and across the board everyone said a little bit of dishwashing liquid into a bowl or dish and put that down. You'll catch one? No, I caught three since the last program Yeah it's bullcrap That's not a very good way to do it Well... It's not entirely true

02:00 And the problem... So why don't you just stick with that? It doesn't make so much noise. Well, I'll tell you why is because the gnats are attracted to a light source and when i'm doing this show The entire studio was dark except for my monitors and I have a little small led desk lamp so I can kind of see the mixer So it's you know, I can't concentrate on anything else. It's just the monitors So you need another light source to attract them and you had said I needed to find some kind of thing with a light in the fan and UV yeah, so I found it if you go to dinatrap.curry.com that's d y n a t r a p Dynatrap.curry.com You can see this device And I have to say this is a winner John This thing is fantastic It has so many benefits

02:45 It has a UV lamp, which you can see all the little gnats and the moths and the flies. And they're like look at that groovy light! And they fly over to the light... ...and then all of sudden... They get sucked down by the fan into the trap below But this is not a water trap. No, it's not a water trap It does have a trap door so they get sucked down into the trap and you can see them in the little mesh enclosing So that so you essentially instead of just killing him with a water trap your tour tormenting well? No because here's the cool part about it after you're done using the dinah trap You can just unscrew it and take it outside let them all go oh

03:28 Oh, that's sick. What do you mean it is not sick? It's humane! You know like fishing and catching release... I mean there are bugs. It is catch and release! They just come right back. Catching release is fine! It's like okay here ya go. So your some sort of animal rights guy. Well I didn't say I did it, I'm just saying you can. We had um... Sounds like there's no other choice if they're not dead in there. Oh no they go pretty quick They get sucked down in there and they're like, I got no water. I got nothing to feed on but it works It's unbelievable the this thing mean it fills up with a little Water down there No, I read the instru well I could but then we'd kill them immediately and now they just get trapped down there And you can let him go so it's not bad So I have it in the studio and not a gnat insight

04:23 Yeah, you'd have been screwed if you had not done something about the situation. You know, if there's a drop of orange juice someplace they'll breed in that and you have a million of them coming out of a drop of orange juice. You forgot to wipe up or something could be in the drain. They go in there and they'll breed it and they breed within I think just a few hours. I think they have... Oh really? There are some nasty bugs. I mean, they're not nasty so far as biting you or anything but they just all over the place So that is our consumer report oh no! I have another consumer report. A very important one

CHAPTER 02 / 41 Discussion

Vladimir Putin, Zombie Gun, and US Active Denial System

CNN's Erin Burnett reported on a Russian "zombie gun" capable of mind control, though the hosts express skepticism regarding the timing of the report near April Fools' Day. The discussion shifts to the American military's Active Denial System, a directed energy weapon designed for crowd control by heating the skin. The hosts compare the two technologies and the ethics of non-lethal weaponry.

vladimir putin· zombie gun· cnn· active denial system· directed energy weapon

05:04 Actually it goes along with this clip and you'll recall on the previous show. You will recall John I don't know if everyone who's listening today heard the previous episode, I talked about Vladimir Putin's zombie gun yes and Aaron Burnett did a report on the zombie gun. Because you know, she's not close enough to being fired so they have to like hey Aaron I got a good one do the report on this zombie gun everyone will love it and by the way if you notice that she is doing interviews now in an interview set? Yeah, she is pretty good at that yeah no she's very good actually another clip for later but thats kinda nice you know she has got the kind of modern contemporary white chairs and she interviewing people and uh... you know she's got her legs out which is good

05:53 Good for ratings and everything so then I don't know maybe maybe someone's someone is definitely on her side but anyway, she brings up the zombie gun and Here's a here's her report. All right this is Messed up. This is messed up that's how I want all my news reports to start by the way That sounds so The media picked up the story as one more example of Vladimir Putin's relentless quest for power. We were suspicious of a story though about a zombie ray gun published just a few hours before April Fools Day, so we tracked down the writer behind the original story he was home with the flu but he answered the question of whether this was true? He says it is according to Christopher Leake the Russians are developing this weapon and even though it still years away its good indication where Putin said

06:41 Because if the Russians do have zombie technology it confirms a lot of things we've heard about Putin some of them funny and some Of them not what is that editorializing? She does with the big sigh in the and the I have no Jokes yeah, when she why'd she have to mention the guy had the flu. What's that got to do with this story nothing time waste But also it doesn't prove anything Maybe she's just trying to be Oh, somebody's told her to be more personable or more homey or whatever. I don't know it's baffling. There is a PR moment here for the United States which may be the point of the story but it's also a reminder right about how civilized America is

07:24 But there's a problem. We already have, a gun like that our own radiation ray gun it's called the active denial system or pain ray It is directed energy weapon developed by the American military for security and crowd control. It has ability to penetrate under the skin hitting you like a needle and then raising your body temperature like opening a microwave oven Unlike the Russian gun, it can't actually control your mind. No I think it does control you to run away...I think that's a form of mind control though So basically the Russians are trying to make a better zombie ray than the one the United States has The Cold War is over, but the one-upsmanship of toys continues. The only problem is if you actually ever imagine these things being used as opposed to kind of thinking about it like some kind of comic strip It makes you really sick to your stomach Yeah well here's the difference Erin...the American based pain ray will be used no doubt about it definitely going to use that

CHAPTER 03 / 41 Discussion

Zombie Slayer Handgun Review and Prison Pain Rays

One of the hosts reviews a "Zombie Slayer" handgun purchased recently, criticizing its small size, long trigger travel, and tendency to jam. In contrast, "The Judge" revolver is praised for its accuracy and reliability during a range session. The segment concludes with reports of "Assault Intervention Devices" being tested in British prisons and Afghanistan.

08:18 The human resources so I tried he did use it in certain certain. I thought that's been used once or twice I don't think they've actually used riots now They've used the sound weapon, but I don't think there's no weapon they have for a pain ray well Let me so I went out Friday John and I tried out the zombie slayer that new gun that I got mm-hmm What a piece of crap Oh, is it? Did you buy it? I told you I bought it. Oh yeah, you did. What a piece of crap that is! It's so small that you can't... hook your finger around the trigger and so you know, it's a girl's gun. Oh not even! It's a child's gun and then you fire it and then it hurts you know the web of your hand oh it said kicks? It doesn't really kick but because it's so small the way you hold it is just no good and then you know just end the what do you call that the length that you have to draw the trigger the trigger travel distance or whatever ah it's really long

09:14 And it jammed! It jammed on me. Brand new gun. Okay, this is no good Yeah I might have to It's a horrible gun If i'm ever confronted with a zombie I better have the judge That thing's good But the zombie slayer... You shot the judge a few times? Oh I shot it 50 times On Friday The Judge rocks and its very accurate Really even with a shotgun shell in it. Yeah, well the slug right you put a slug Yes like but if you try putting buckshot or search bird I can't shoot that at the range It's an indoor range so they won't allow that oh no buck shot But it was fine. It was it was it was a real manly Friday afternoon. I had my guess I was like yeah, I missed you actually Well you were aiming at me

10:12 No, it would have been fun. I'd like to go shooting with you Yeah, yeah, I like to shoot Prisoner used excruciating laser pain ray to control unruly inmates Has it been used? Does is say its being used? Assault intervention device It's called an assault intervention device, I like that An AID Assault Intervention Device Hey! Don't assault me or intervene with you by frying you This is in England. They suspect it may have been used at some prisons. I think it's been used! That's possible And oh, we're testing the pain ray in Afghanistan? That's right. Now I remember. September... No June 19th 2010 there was mention of it So why the whole zombie thing? Is that just to make us look better? It has McCrystal Huh Interesting Yeah

CHAPTER 04 / 41 Discussion

Media Narratives, Trayvon Martin Case, and Tulsa Shootings

The hosts analyze media coverage of the George Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin case, specifically criticizing NBC for editing 911 tapes to emphasize racial elements. They also examine ABC News' reporting on a shooting spree in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where the network questioned if a "lone wolf" was "hunting black people." The hosts argue that the media is intentionally ratcheting up racial tensions.

nbc news· george zimmerman· trayvon martin· tulsa· racial tension

11:17 Well I will say the things are out of control media wise even with our Easter holiday. The campaign continues of pitting the citizens, United States of Gitmo nation against each other based on race Oh yeah the race thing has gotten out of control And there's some that are very obvious and some that aren't so obvious The mainstream media of course is still talking about how NBC edited something to make it sound more racial which is obviously true. They fired the guy etc, etc... I think this was the one we had a clip of where the guys in the sound room and they're making a big... Didn't he say what did he say? No no no! What they did is so there's a piece on the 911 tape

12:06 where Zimmerman is saying, yeah there's a guy acting suspicious and then there's a whole conversation. Oh yeah right that part. And they say is he black? He says yeah he looks black and they cut that middle part out so... They cut a bunch of stuff out. ...he's looking suspicious, he's black you know it's like oh really! Uh and then we end- The compromised ABC News is really ratcheting it up So we had these shootings in I think was it Oklahoma Tulsa Oklahoma We had some lone wolf, which you will hear in this report go on a rampage but the language ABC News uses is I think they should have their license revoked if we could do that.

12:45 considered as a war zone, you know? Why would trying to connect the dots. Five people randomly shot two wounded and three dead all black and police suspect the shooter is a white male this is going to be a difficult investigation identifying a lone wolf suspect The African-American community on edge are the killings racially motivated Is someone hunting black people hello Wow. That's real! Is someone hunting black people? That's messed up, man! There is like 30 seconds left you can hear how it winds up. Based on the evidence from one of the victims there may be good reason to be concerned this from a family member of a surviving victim who asked not to be identified and then they go straight into the unidentified sources so not on camera just a quote

CHAPTER 05 / 41 Discussion

Barack Obama, To Kill a Mockingbird, and Racial Politics

President Barack Obama recorded a special introduction for the film "To Kill a Mockingbird" on the USA Network to celebrate its 50th anniversary. The hosts point out that the actual anniversary is months away, suggesting the timing is a political move to influence racial sentiment ahead of the 2012 election. They compare this to other potential film commemorations that the administration ignores.

barack obama· to kill a mockingbird· harper lee· gregory peck· election 2012

13:44 Is someone hunting black people? That's just crazy, man. That's crazy talk! Now they gotta give you... I think you nailed it months ago when you figured this that this was needed to get Obama re-elected Well then the president and this one He is always chiming in Well check out what he did Did you see what he did yesterday last night on television on the USA Network? Well, you probably missed it. First he promoted the book then he had the author come by The White House and then on The USA Network yesterday He did a little intro for the movie And now a special USA presentation 50 years ago A film came along that instantly captivated the nation Based on timeless novel by Harper Lee To Kill a Mockingbird brought to life an unforgettable tale of courage and conviction Of doing what was right No matter what the cost

14:38 And it gave us one of the great heroes of American cinema, Atticus Finch. Played so memorably by the late Gregory Peck Half a century later The power of this extraordinary film endures It still speaks to us It still tells us something about who we are as people and common values that we all share So I hope you enjoy the film If you haven't already I hope you get chance to read the book Its an American classic and its one my family's favorites So he's doing intros now. What? Yeah, To Kill a Mockingbird. Boy that's a great catch I would almost consider that clip of the day already. Would you please explain for those who have not read to kill a mockingbird what the basic premise of the book is it's very important in context.

15:24 Well, to kill a mockingbird is a black man. This is in deep segregated South A black man has accused of killing a white girl and Atticus Finch, a white lawyer decides to go... Played by Gregory Peck Decides to go and defend the guy And it turns out that the black guy didn't do it But this was brought in as to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the film Well that's just a lie Because yes this film while it was first premiered in Los Angeles on December 25th 1962 which is you know still a more than half a year away. It didn't actually go into full release until Valentine's Day February 14 of 1963 so he's off almost a year yeah so they conveniently move this forward because you can't do it in a year because the election will be over thank you very much

16:18 And you know, and hey well if we're gonna do books let's do Atlas Shrugged. Let's do the 75th anniversary of that or there's tons of other books We can commemorate how about Mein Kampf? Let's do that one That'd be a great one to commemorate You know so that to me is just complete ratcheting up of racial tensions which I think it's unnecessary and and to top it off John So we know that we have Skittles benefiting. Skillets! Well, so I think Al Sharpton is on to something...I'm literally watching cable news. I don't know if it was CNBC or CNN

CHAPTER 06 / 41 Discussion

Al Sharpton, Yoshi Blue Diamondware Skillet, and 1962 Cinema

A commercial for the Yoshi Blue Diamondware Skillet is highlighted as a potential attempt to capitalize on Al Sharpton's frequent use of the word "skillet" in political rhetoric. The hosts then list several classic films released in 1962, including "The Manchurian Candidate" and "Lawrence of Arabia," suggesting they would be more appropriate for presidential introductions than the current selection.

al sharpton· yoshi skillet· the manchurian candidate· 1962 films· marketing

16:58 Before the show started I had to rewind the DVR to record this commercial that came on. They say diamonds are a girl's best friend, but who knew they would actually make the greatest cooking surface ever? Well it does and now you can have it in the Yoshi blue diamondware skillet! The amazing new cookware surface! They're jumping on the bandwagon The skillet people. They're like, hey man this Al Sharpton's on a roll we gotta jump on the skillets thing. I mean how often have you heard someone go into Target and say do you have any skillets? No they ask for a pan or frying pan or something but there they are advertising a skillet. This is a great country or what

17:48 We have no shame. Well, let's see what else we have from 1962. We have Lawrence of Arabia great movie you come in and introduce that yeah true foes Jules and Jim oh here's the one here's the one they should deal with this came out in 1962 The Manchurian Candidate! Oh that's the way can't deceive him? And now everybody let me introduce to you the story of my I mean a great story The Manchurian Candidate That would be good. The man who shot Liberty Valance, there's another big hit and whatever happened to Baby Jane is from that and so was Lolita These are all great movies how come the president isn't doing... why don't we doesn't he proclaim it Great Movie Month? Days of Wine & Roses! The Music Man Another good one Yeah there's a bunch of them on here Dr No the first James Bond movie came out in 1962

18:46 How the West was Won, a huge hit. Yeah no it's got this one how about this one? Mutiny on the Bounty 1962 another Gregory Peck isn't that also Peck oh no that was uh... That WAS Dutchman. Yeah hello yeah sorry yeah Gregory how many movies did they get these guys used to work a lot harder than they do today Advise and Consent that Otto Preminger film Bird Man of Alcatraz Hello! Another classic I think the Manchurian candidate is your best find there. That would be the one for him to do. And what is he doing intro? It's almost like, and now tequila... He could go on MTV segments and now the real world you know and now back to Snooki! Just hire him to do that. He'd be perfect. And now Whitesnake.

19:40 Anyway, anyway also you might just and there's a lot more is like they made a lot of movies in I see too But I think maybe another one big good one to introduce would be mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol Now anyway so I believe that is only brought in just to ratchet stuff up. Yeah, no this is all... you're right! You got a double checkmark on the Redbook for calling this one early. Called it early. He's going to turn us into a race issue and if he loses which would be a real problem If he loses there will be race riots because of him doing this Actually probably not even him

CHAPTER 07 / 41 Discussion

Producer Donations, Knighthoods, and Evergreen State College

The hosts thank several executive producers for their financial support, including a significant $800 donation from Chad Biederman. A discussion about job references leads to an anecdote about Evergreen State College in Washington, where it is claimed the school will verify a degree in any field a graduate claims to have. The hosts offer to act as professional references for their own high-level donors.

CHAPTER 08 / 41 Discussion

No Agenda Clip Shows and Acoustic Instrument Requests

The hosts reflect on the difficulty of producing "clip shows" during holidays, noting they often require more work than standard episodes. John C. Dvorak requests that listeners send old-fashioned sound effect instruments, such as coconut husks for horse-hoof sounds, to the show's P.O. Box in El Cerrito, California.

27:19 You can also go to channeldivark.com slash NA noagendashow dot com and noagendonation dot com and click on the donate button there And since it is Easter we are working today as always We I don't think we ever well only New Year's Day that we had a clip show which turned out To be more work than a regular show, but I think that was on I don't think that was New Year's That wasn't Christmas you're right Christmas. Yeah, I did tell you it took me two years to do it and it was annoyingly boring yeah and here's the problem with that clip show is that you're doing that... You put a whole set of clips together and you know you did in chunks and piece them together and go oh crap already did those!

27:57 You gotta go pull them out But because of the Easter holiday and no PR mentions No one did any work for us in that regard, but of course you can still go out and do something extremely important Which involves propagating the formula our formula is this we go out? We hit people in the mouth My slide whistle has not arrived yet unfortunately thank God I expect it to be here Thursday so we can jam on

28:35 I was suggested to me that we request if any listeners out there have oddball old-fashioned instruments sound effects, that they should send it to the post office box where you or the checks are received Box 339 El Cerrito California 94530 and I will introduce them to the show. And i'm looking for the coconut husks that provide the clippity-clop sound and used in the silent movies in the day. Oh, very good idea! Very good idea I like that. The message is clear. So I sent you three emails about this John You didn't answer a single one of them? That's right I didn't probably get them they went to spam sure

CHAPTER 09 / 41 Discussion

Malawi President Death and Economic Hitman Warnings

Malawi President Bingu wa Mutharika died of a heart attack shortly after a "No Agenda" contact warned the hosts to watch the country. The hosts discuss the "Economic Hitman" model described by John Perkins, suggesting Mutharika may have been targeted for non-compliance with international corporate interests. They note discrepancies in reporting regarding the succession of power in Malawi.

29:21 I kept saying you brought up a note from your economic hitman contact Oh, yeah who warned you about Malawi and I said when cuz I because I dutifully Deleted the email. You know cuz I don't want to eat No We don't want to get anyone in any trouble so I got rid of the email So I couldn't search on date that it came in so I couldn't go back and find the show where? You read his note And what did his notes say? Uh, he well you hear this. This is why I didn't get to this mail it was just sent on the 6th you sent me like 25 mails and this one you got LAFB possible donation of show no agenda killing gnats in Texas and some other ones uh well what did his notes say let me look him up

30:13 I can get you the date too, but yeah he said... He mentioned it was a note about uh actually i don't even need to look it up because i can kind of remember. He was berating us for certain things that we were saying that were wrong and then- You guys suck oh by the way! And then it was an Oh By The Way? If I Were You, I'd Look At Malawi because there's apparently a bunch of weird stuff going on and he said, I think this was like a month ago or longer. And it was a tip off and then we mentioned it on the show and then I got another letter from him saying well yeah I guess I did mean to mention it so you look into it. So we talked about how this guy is... We talked a little bit about but we don't have any further information. I haven't heard anything about it since but the guy's dead

31:06 Now, by the way he did send me a note after this. Hold on a second before you get to that let me just back it up for a second so our economic hit man this was only a couple of weeks ago Says make sure you take a look at what's going on in Malawi now the significance of him being an economic hitman is the way the economic Hitmen work is they go in and They go into country and say okay. Here's the idea We're going to give you billions of dollars in aid And the way it's gonna work is we are going to give that money not to you But we're going to give that money to American companies, or it could be the Chinas in this case. And they are going to build these facilities oil and gas and pipelines and gold mines... You're going to allow that you're going to give them all of the concessions and of course there will be a hundred million dollars in the black bag for you! If you don't then we'll kill ya! Did I sum that up properly?

32:04 That's pretty much the thesis of the book Economic Hitmen by John Perkins. So then we get the warning to take a look at all the crap that is going on in Malawi and all of sudden I'll read the news report verbatim because it was kind of interesting President of Malawi Bingu Wa Mutarika dies of quote heart attack, I love the British press but they can't What was the funny thing? They can't do an autopsy because they don't know where his body is. Yeah, that's the way to do it! So the guy was clearly not cooperating one way or another and they offed him as forewarned And what did your economic hitman follow up with? What did he say?

32:52 Well, he didn't say anything that's necessarily important but he says the reports about how they... He mentioned a couple of reports that are official from the US government saying they have to follow up scheme to put the vice president in and you read all the news reports it says the same thing. He says this is all bull crap! That the guy, the dead guys brother has already taken over. And this is mentioned no place? Of course not So do you think it's an Abel versus Kane thing? You know, that would make sense. Especially if the guy's brother does eventually take full control of the country

33:33 But we'll see. I mean, it will take a couple weeks before it shakes out but right now its being reported that they're looking at the vice president is going to do this and that and there's not a mention of the guy even has a brother but you heard it here first Well thats why people tune into the show, listen to some actual news and some actual reporting Reporting from people who are on the ground as opposed to reading press releases Like Aaron Burnett Who's who's pursuing zombie guns very good air? I'm began we talked about the directed energy weapons three years ago. I think she did have a cool This is like a 10-second quote no, I'm sorry it's longer as 23 seconds Deepak Chopra is out shilling his book now this is the deepak chopra who's the guru guy and I think it's what I know I know him I've heard him talk. I think he had the quote of the week

CHAPTER 10 / 41 Discussion

Deepak Chopra, False Economy, and Materialism

Guru Deepak Chopra is quoted criticizing the modern economy for being built on derivatives and debt. He claims people spend money they haven't earned to buy things they don't need to impress people they don't like. The hosts briefly discuss Chopra's broader philosophy that physical existence is an illusion.

deepak chopra· derivatives· economy· materialism· philosophy

34:27 He always has a quote of the week. The guy's a quote meister. He is the quote meister Here's his quote which just tickled me what happened is we created a false economy by creating these derivatives and which were not based on value or service all products and we kind of bamboozled the country into spending money that they hadn't earned to buy things that they didn't need to impress people that they didn't like. I like that, that is funny. One last second, i'm going to restart

35:04 People are complaining about the stream is open. Yeah, JC just was moaning about it Alright, let me just restart that when you say I've no idea what's going on Oh says error login failed hmm Let me see Login failing why all right? Well whatever they'll have to fix that There we go. We're on the air again alright yay. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know what's going on But I thought that was one of his one of his better quotes. I liked that one oh

35:40 We got money. Most of his quotes are all you know, he's basic philosophy is that we don't even exist so I don't see why even cares and he honestly believes this is all a dream. This essentially is thesis well, I do like the things that we bought things we didn't need to impress people. We didn't like it. No, I'd like that one too. That's pretty good. That's really good and I was read a disturbing article Just to bring this evergreen clip out again of General Wesley Clark. Yeah, yeah... We have to play it once. Is it okay to play it again? Yeah I'm trying think if I have a tie-in that I can use Well I read a disturbing article and I wanted to play the clip first and then tell you about this article I read which is about Clippity-clop Lucifer Clinton So let's just revisit General Wesley Clark shooting his mouth off after 9 11

CHAPTER 11 / 41 Discussion

Wesley Clark, Pentagon War Plans, and Elle Magazine

A classic clip of General Wesley Clark is revisited, in which he describes a 2001 Pentagon memo detailing plans to take out seven countries in five years. The hosts then discuss a recent Elle Magazine profile of Hillary Clinton, noting that Clark, Wolf Blitzer, and Colin Powell were all present at a high-profile event for the International Crisis Group.

wesley clark· pentagon· hillary clinton· elle magazine· wolf blitzer

36:37 About the entire plan that was laid out that he had at that time no problem sharing with the world about ten days after 9-11 I went through the Pentagon and I saw Secretary Rumsfeld and Deputy Secretary Wolfowitz. So, I went downstairs just to say hello some of people on the joint staff who used to work for me And one of the generals called me in said sir you got a Come in, you got to come in and talk to me a second. I said well your too busy he said no no. He says we've made the decision were going to war with Iraq this was on or about the 20th of September. I said were going to war with Iraq why? He said I don't know! He said I guess they do not know what else to do

37:23 So I said well did they find some information collect connecting Saddam to al-Qaeda? He said no, no he says there's nothing new that way. They've just made the decision to go to war with Iraq He said I guess it's like we don't know what to do about terrorists but We got a good military and we can take down governments And he said I guess if the only two you have is a hammer every problem has to look like a nail so I came back to see him a few weeks later and And by that time we were bombing in Afghanistan. I said, are we still going to war with Iraq? He said oh it's worse than that! He reached over on his desk and picked up a piece of paper and he said I just got this down from upstairs meeting the Secretary of Defense office today This is a memo that describes how we're gonna take out seven countries in five years Starting with Iraq then Syria Lebanon Libya Somalia Sudan and finishing off Iran

38:19 So the only one we didn't get is, uh... Wait a minute. We have Libya- we got Libya. We got Syria. We're working on that. We have Sudan Somalia. We've got our drones there Uh Lebanon That's the only one we haven't really captured yet so there's this article in Elle magazine About and the woman's magazine L. Yes, the woman's magazine And you can find all of these links in the show notes at three nine or eight dot na show notes calm and so it's kind of a puff piece, you know, it's about to the most powerful woman in the universe, of course, and The reporter is following Lucifer clippity-clop Hillary Clinton and she follows her in New York

39:05 where Hillary is speaking at the International Crisis Group, which is a fine organization. And who was emceeing the evening? Wolf Blitzer! I mean how... How obvious can we make it here?! I mean that's really not okay Who was in the audience? Queen Noor of Jordan Colin Powell and Wesley Clark So he's flipped back over Interesting He's also still alive I might like to point out. You know, when I was listening to that clip again and I realized one of our economic hitmen sent us a note telling us that we're...I think he's basically just

CHAPTER 12 / 41 Discussion

Middle East Pronunciations and Georgetown Security Professors

The hosts debate the "insider" way to pronounce Iran and Iraq, following a listener's tip that "eye-rock" and "eye-ran" are the preferred terms among government officials. They introduce two Georgetown University professors, Matthew Kroenig and Colin Kahl, who represent opposing views on military intervention in the Middle East.

pronunciation· iran· iraq· georgetown university· colin kahl

39:54 calls in to criticize us. Yeah, well that's what they do. Saying that we're mispronouncing these words and I think there are code ways to pronounce words and other ways than if you're in the inside because...I would..I do have some clips another one of these clips with these professors that are actually out of the government teaching security studies and the like, and they pronounced the words correctly. Okay And I think it's an indicator that you're in the inside when your pronounce them correctly and the correct pronunciation is ear-rock No no it's eye rock It's ear-rock and ear-ran! No I read the note and he says eye E Y E You're supposed to say eye-ron and eye-rock Read the note again? I think I deleted that one too What...read the note

40:45 I'm gonna have to go get it now because apparently you are not... Oh, that's interesting. I read it very carefully! I read it twice and like okay so from now on we have to say IROK and he literally spells it R-O-C-K here it is No thats not it That's me asking you for It's from me No I know Well where is it? Come on man its in your email Yeah but im looking at for it now But I have all these notes to you about the bug killer that are making it difficult to find anything.

41:27 Well anyway, okay well let me find that document and then I'll get back to the topic. But we do have these two professors a guy that you didn't like Koenig who said we're gonna bomb him and we're gonna bomb him unless just you know get it over with. And there's another guy apparently is his senior intellectually and he came on to just say no And it was a very interesting, there's the same guy who was on C-SPAN. These two guys and this new guy whose name is Colin Call or Colin Call he's from Georgetown too they're both from Georgetown but this guy teaches security studies and he's out of the Pentagon and he has all kinds of different things to say I do have a clip

CHAPTER 13 / 41 Discussion

UAE Nuclear Agreement and 1-2-3 Program

The United Arab Emirates has entered into a "1-2-3 agreement" with the United States regarding its nuclear program. Under this deal, the UAE agrees to forgo domestic uranium enrichment in exchange for nuclear technology and fuel. The hosts discuss how this model is being pushed as a standard for other Middle Eastern nations.

uae· nuclear power· 1-2-3 agreement· enrichment· non-proliferation

42:12 Which would be, let's see... Heavy Hitters. No that's the end of show clip. I have an end of show clip that is quite good if we have time. Great! I got too many clips You do what you're doing great it's alright. Oh yeah, the interesting nuke situation and the UAE. I didn't... Somebody who asked the question actually brings up a bunch of issues and points that i didn't even know that all these people were working on nuclear power but play that. Okay Dr. Carl said one of your points was that in 60 years

42:50 There have only been nine countries that violated the non-proliferation, or you know we've only gone nuclear. Nine countries have gone nuclear. Already we have not only the three countries that both of you mentioned Egypt Turkey and Saudi Arabia but also Algeria Bahrain and United Arab Emirates all signatories to the NPT have all announced nuclear programs Pakistan is now building two more heavy water plutonium processing plants, a second chemical processing plant. So within the context... The nine countries are within the context of the U.S.-Soviet competition. Now we're within the context in the Middle East and the Sunni-Shia ferocity so my question is doesn't that change the likelihood of more countries getting nukes?

43:37 You know it could, although I think we have to be very careful. One of the countries you mentioned was the UAE and we should hope that every country in the world develops its nuclear program along with the way the UAE has because the UAE through its 1-2-3 agreement with United States has given up their right to domestic enrichment What? It's what?! Anyway. You have to, you have to as long as you follow the 1-2-3... What is the one two three? Another one of these sign offs that I guess we go around from country to country and say look you guys can't do this nuclear ones if you want to make a nuke a Nuclear power plant you follow these rules in other words you don't do enrichment We'd do it for you And that's what they've been trying to make this agreement with the Iranians and here's the note Iranians

44:22 Iran and Iraq the name for someone from oh, you're right. It wasn't I was Ronnie Yeah, you're right at your right I remember, i thought it was eye but he said ear. You're right yeah iron is the way uh iran iron iraq iraq iraq iraq anyway so the pronunciation and these two characters that you heard part of one uh one of those two guys can i just interrupt you here they are right on the money with their pronunciations oh yeah i have here the uae123 nuclear agreement That was good. Yeah, I know! Isn't the internet great for this show? Let's see what it says... This is the actual PDF It should be a three-step program right where's the one two and three maybe they just call it that yeah they do just call it 24 hour dry cleaners you go in there say like get these by tomorrow no you can't have it it'd be 2 weeks wait a minute it says 24 hour dry cleaner guess that's just the name of the place

CHAPTER 14 / 41 Discussion

Bahrain Protests and Dutch Queen Beatrix Visit

Despite ongoing violent protests and human rights concerns in Bahrain, Dutch Queen Beatrix visited the country on a personal title. The hosts contrast the international condemnation of Syria with the relative silence regarding Bahrain, attributing the difference to Bahrain's status as a Western ally and host of Formula One racing.

bahrain· queen beatrix· formula one· protests· human rights

45:26 And meanwhile I find that interesting, that good buddies there of the UAE, United Arab Emirates is Bahrain. And there are hundreds of thousands of people protesting on the streets now in Bahrain. Bahrain is not in the UAE, no they're friends and they have the Formula One races there it's the Austin of the Middle East is what it is. Do you know that the Dutch Queen I forgot to mention this last time we talked about so Beatrix the Dutch queen she wanted to go to Bahrain because she's friends with the prince

46:02 And the Prime Minister said, and I think they had a discussion in Parliament. He said well you can't do that that's really politically not okay because Bahrain is shooting people in the streets kind of like Syria except we don't care about that because they're our buddies and they've got the Formula One. And then what the Queen said? Well screw you! I'm going on personal title. She went anyway she's hanging out with dictators who kill people Oh yeah, oh yeah. Good for her! Independent woman I got while i'm on that the 30th of April you know what that is because you've been in Amsterdam even on the 30th of April That is our Queen's Day celebration Yeah so it's actually fun to go too if anyone's in the area and you know Americans would like To travel Europe I would recommend it Well better un-recommend it Uh oh Because first of all no more drinking on the street What?

46:58 Yeah, no more. That's what it's all about It's about drinking on the street sorry slave no more drinking on the street beers and bars are all open they got set up special places where they're pouring the Heineken and the other stuff by the ton Well, I'm behind again. I'm sorry No service for you nothing on the street But here's the best part and heineken by the way there tastes really good it tastes like a good bud Anyway, go ahead. Go on I'm sorry this is a joke so the Queen always visits a town With her entourage and you'll recall that was it two years ago? Maybe now Yeah, I think it was two years ago that the guy tried to kill her You know any try to run her down run her down and he succeeded in killing a whole bunch of other people in himself Yeah, actually I think he wasn't dead but they killed him in the car something like that It was not not good So um She will be visiting the hamlet

47:54 I think it's right by Utrecht, Renen. Renen near Utrecht And so the people of Utrecht, the mayor who is a super uber douchebag with you know he has the orange striped tie like I love the Queen. So we does a town hall meeting says okay here's the deal no cars allowed on the street oh and by the way you're not allowed to have your car in your garage and the Secret Service will be coming by everybody's door and will come into your house and inspect it And if you don't comply, you will be arrested. What? Yeah! But we're gonna have a great party he actually ends up his town hall meeting Where are you supposed to put your car? Take it out of town You gotta park it somewhere else You cannot have your car in town or even in your garage and they will knock on your door and you have to let them in so they can search your house What if your cars immobilized because its got two flat tires Or its got a bad engine and stuck in the garage No one got into that detail

49:01 Apparently, first thing I thought of. But then they have you know they do the man on the street interview so what do you think about this? And what does the first guy say well if you have nothing to hide you have nothing to worry about they can come in and out What an idiot! I mean this is...this is...I can't believe that Dutchess are allowing this It's a whole generation of them it's weird I think as a worldwide phenomenon They're just a worst-case example I'm just like, I'm flabbergasted. And just the hubris of this mayor who's probably like 30 maybe 35 Oh really? Real collegiate looking guy and he's got it- I said he's got that orange tie He's like look we're here to have a good great party for the Queen It's gonna be awesome So What's this guys name? Hmm hold on a second Yeah you want to see a picture of him? I'm going to Google I'm gonna image him and see what we've got Okay hold on

CHAPTER 15 / 41 Discussion

Queen's Day Security and Mayor of Rhenen

The Mayor of Rhenen, Joost van Oostrum (referred to as "Niedermeyer" or "Mayor Douchebag" by the hosts), has implemented extreme security measures for the upcoming Queen's Day. Residents are reportedly required to remove cars from garages and allow house searches by the Secret Service. The hosts criticize the local population's compliance with these infringements on privacy.

CHAPTER 16 / 41 Discussion

Chinese Investment in the Caribbean and Stadium Diplomacy

China is heavily investing in Caribbean infrastructure, gifting multi-million dollar stadiums and schools to nations like the Bahamas, Dominica, and Antigua. The hosts suggest this "stadium diplomacy" is a bribe to secure future concessions for oil and gas exploration. They also discuss the psychological role of professional sports in pacifying the male population.

china· bahamas· dominica· stadium· caribbean· oil and gas

55:16 China buys inroads in the Caribbean. I saw this, I saw that! I was like wait... Bahamas brand new 35 million dollar stadium opened here into Bahamas a few weeks ago A gift from the Chinese government They're bribing their way into The Bahamas Well we know that The Caribbean has tons of oil and gas This is what the whole Haiti thing was about We know it Why do you think the Law Of The Seas has their office In Kingston Jamaica? I mean we know that there's tons in there so the Chinese know it but this report, this article that you referenced doesn't say that. In fact it says quite the opposite. Just to stuff right yeah this is very poorly done The tiny island nation of Dominica has received a grammar school, a renovation...a renovated hospital and a sports stadium also courtesy of the Chinese? I guess they like to build stadiums

56:04 Antigua and Barbuda got a power plant in a cricket stadium, another stadium. It's interesting And the new school is on the way The Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago can thank the Chinese contractors for the craftsmanship in her official residence Hello! Talk about out-and-out blatant... uh... bribes Oh you're gonna fix my house? Terrific Come on in bitches Ah well I'm glad you started the topic John No agenda Pipeline Viva Pipeline fever! Report from the UK, of course we've seen Clippity-Clop Hillary Clinton in Myanmar also known as Burma sucking up with her BFF there. And here's the headline... UK firms in secret talks on joining Burmese gold rush. Oh yeah! Shell HSBC standard chartered among the British firms getting ready to wheel into Burma

57:04 So there's tons of grooviness going on and that market is opening up and the sanctions are going to be dropped. So we're going to see a big bonanza. I said for awhile, this is a flip-flop kind of... Well the Chinas are already in there they've got their pipeline there remember we talked about that so they got the pipeline there but as long you know it's the country screwed up as far as i'm concerned yeah and they're always going back and forth between like a kind of demarcation then become a dictatorship again never ends And they attack The pipeline again from Egypt which goes up to through the Sinai Desert blew up another piece again So it's all still in play and I'm going back this China article there It's interesting they play it as a thing to do with Taiwan. I've read those about tourism

58:05 Well, no. It's an enduring tug of war with Taiwan and others have switched too that means switch allegiances but little financial encouragement Granada ended relations with Taiwan in 2004 And is now in talks with China about getting a new national track-and-field stadium What is it? Who's the China that's building what does this stadium thing well I think seems like a theme to me I think the stadium thing is to keep the male human resources pacified You know we didn't have stadiums 100 years ago We just didn't. That's part of the whole... No, we had a hundred years ago we had stadiums Not like we have our professional sports teams today and even you get sucked in I mean this is the male testosterone has to go somewhere so we trained the male human resources To get behind teams of their own gladiators and yeah

58:57 I've never understood it myself. Yeah, apparently no I don't I really don't I just I find no joy in watching a sports game Except maybe the Super Bowl for the television watch even that if you don't like it at all because it's an interesting Television production I watch it for that reason and that reason alone. I don't watch basketball. Don't watch baseball. I don't want sailing I don't my goodness I don't watch sailing. Who watches sailing? Well, is it any less boring than golf? Hello the whole... I don't watch golf! I think it's boring to watch It's a huge ratings draw Golf was big this weekend Yeah that's why..I've always been baffled by that Well its because people have got human urges and they have to get behind a guy or team and thats what it's for And you contain the people and there handy doubles round people up and shove them in when you need too

CHAPTER 17 / 41 Discussion

Senate Bill 1813, MAP-21, and Passport Revocation

The "Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act" (MAP-21), sponsored by Senator Barbara Boxer, contains a provision allowing the government to revoke the passports of individuals with over $50,000 in delinquent tax debt. The hosts highlight that this significant policy change was buried on page 1447 of a massive transportation and highway bill.

senate bill 1813· map-21· barbara boxer· passport· tax debt

59:51 Put some barbed wire on the top, it's groovy. It's very effective. Mm-hmm So I've never understood it now. I went to college for three months Like I'm not gonna go to no pep rally for the team what the hell is that are there hot chicks there? Yeah but they're all hanging out with a team well screw that good and I'm gonna go there I've never understood it. Sorry, never ever understood it. You should try to understand it Why? To what benefit? How did we talk about this sort of thing What benefit will that give me? What understanding is not a good thing Here's the kind of stuff I try to understand Senate Bill 1813

1:00:32 I have Senate Bill, i did some work for you all. I have Senate Bill 1813 marked up the pdf in the show notes for your convenience this bill is interestingly enough titled hold on a second as i bring it up here to reauthorize federal aid highway and highway safety construction programs and for other purposes and in this bill on page Wow, one thousand four hundred and forty seven Section 7 3 4 5. Is this the passport? Yes it is Yeah we blogged this before last show by the way I was actually gonna bring it up in the last show but I figured let you read It as better yeah um... I'm sure you found something else besides that Actually lemme see here no there wasn't really anything else uh The way its reported is not completely

1:01:34 I mean, there's one paragraph that really... and it just it's weird because no one says what I thought was interesting is this is the Transportation Act. You know? It's to build roads and things like that or what was it called again exactly? to reauthorize federal-aid highway and highway safety construction programs, and for other purposes. So... It doesn't have a good catchy name though But it's not like you know they should say instead of in other purposes You know to restrict slaves or something but here it is In general if the secretary receives certification by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue that any individual has seriously delinquent tax debt

1:02:12 And this is the part that no one reported on, in an excess...in an amount in excess of $50,000 which can happen pretty quickly by the way. The Secretary shall transmit such certification to the Secretary of State for action with respect to denial revocation or limitation of a passport pursuant to section 4 of the Act entitled An Act To Regulate The Issue and Validity Of Passports and For Other Purposes And then there's let's back up. What does this got to do with the highways? That's that's the point That's what I found interesting if this clearly was just slipped in on page 1447 Just you know, so no one and I think CBS actually caught this CBS News that was also interesting to me but this is part of

1:03:01 And that's the bigger bill. This by the way, who is the sponsor of this bill? Do you remember? I can look it right up. The dipshit from California Barbara Boxer! Yeah... That's interesting let me look at the... Let me tell you exactly who it is It's Barbara Boxer! I just told ya Now this has already passed by the way but she's not the only one She's the sponsor there's no other person mentioned Interesting I'm looking at the government gov track that us, but this is a part of something bigger. It has not passed the house It's past the status the Senate correct so it needs to pass the house and then get signed by my president But this is part of the map 21 And this is what caught my eye moving ahead for progress in the twenty-first century act So this is a and this thing

1:03:57 I mean, i haven't gotten to all of it. I hope to have more information on Thursday but MAP 21 which of course conveniently kind of you know got that twenty one thing in there and actually according to the gov track dot US S1813 is did their that is the name of the bill map 21 Is that a short title? Yes it is your right short titled this act may be cited as moving ahead for progress in the 21st century act your right And it's organized into eight divisions. So, I mean here it is... But its really Federal Highways Public Transportation Transportation Safety and Surface Transport Policy Finance I couldn't find anything in there Research and Education and then Miscellaneous This fell under miscellaneous Then there's Air Transportation and Budgetary Effects It's a monster of a bill How many pages in total is it?

IRS Wage Garnishment and Personal Tax Anecdotes

The hosts share personal stories regarding the IRS and the difficulty of resolving tax disputes. One host describes a multi-year ordeal involving a $2.4 million erroneous tax lien that resulted in armed agents visiting his office. They discuss the long lead times required to clear wage garnishments even after a debt is settled.

irs· tax debt· wage garnishment· identity· bureaucracy

1:04:59 In total, 1662 pages. But this... but you know I find it to..I don't know do you what are your feeling about this? If someone owes $50,000 in taxes and has not paid should they be allowed to travel outside the country? I think people should be allowed to travel outside the country anytime they want to What's what's where they were worried about that they're gonna skip out on $50,000 is always going to be owed. Then what about people that are overseas working as we speak in France and they racking up a big bill and they're still there over there as we speak? And were you going to take their passport away make them come back? Yeah in fact it even says uh... that the Secretary of State can authorize issuance of a passport that can only be used

1:05:54 for coming back into the United States. So what happens is you take your passport, you want to fly to a different country and let's say you want to go to the United Kingdom not apart of the Schengen Agreement so it's not really Europe, you have to show your passport when you enter A note will pop up and say come with me! You'll have to go And there is some language here about what actually... Seriously delinquent tax debt, so first of all it has to be $50,000 or more for which a notice of lien has been filed in public records pursuant to section 6323. Or a notice of levy has been filed which is basically wage garnishment

1:06:37 Which I've had this happens. Let's say that happened to me as everybody yeah, so it happens and so they pull the passport So the State Department has to go through a rigmarole And then the guy pays because you know your pay and then which was yep Then it takes forever remember I went through this You didn't lose your passport. No, I would have had this been in play but i remember they said we know it takes forever We don't know that it takes forever. I do because uh this happened to me They said well we can't you when my name started showing up on the payroll at Mevio or then Podshow In 2005 I was living in the UK

1:07:16 And they say, well you where have you been for since 1999? So well I left the country. Oh yeah we can't find any filings You didn't file any... you know you don't have to pay taxes twice but We can't find any filings from you so we're putting a lien and we think that's about 2.4 million dollars Mr. Curry and they came the IRS came in to our get your attention it did the IRS came into our building with their guns remember that? I wasn't there yeah they came in at their hands on their guns. Looking for me, so we can't find you ever hear of Google idiot curry calm ever think of looking for me online

1:07:57 And, you know so then I had to go through all that. Well that reminds me of the time there's a number of John Dvoraks that are writers Yeah Believe it or not and so i get a call from the IRS Some guy is grousing at me he says okay Is John Dvorak? yeah He says well your gonna give us our $70,000 dollars when are you going to pay and I said what are you talking about And I was like, Mimi! You know what kind of thing. He says yeah you're blah blah blah and I said I don't know anything about what you're talking about so your John DeVore right? So he said yeah and then I guess I got lucky and said where am i supposed to be? He says you are in Kansas City. I said no

1:08:45 I'm in Port Angeles, Washington which is where it was when i got the call. He says uh... I said what's the social security number? I started grilling him What's the social security number you got there? Well he said well what yours and I told him Oh! That's interesting Really? Yeah. Do you happen to know where another... You know where John Dvorak in Kansas is, my dear chandler? Why don't you go look at the Kansas? I should call the Kansas guy! They're not the only John Dvorak in the world. I don't know how they got my name or why they called me but then that was all sorry and they hooked me up. I don't even if he said he's sorry just hung up over my point is it took me almost half a year to get my wage garnishment removed

1:09:27 For them to, because they you know I had to prove of course that uh...I had been overseas and i had to go through quite a bit of crap. Meanwhile, you know I think about with this number. This is multi-million dollar figure You weren't making that kind of money at me vo no But they look at ten years They say we haven't you haven't filed taxes in all so they figured in 10 years plus all the penalties and everything gets cranked cranked exactly Exactly make a hundred thousand dollars a year and end up having to pay it two million dollar tax bill And then so fun pay for days actually answer them finally They said, okay we agree and then it still took six weeks for them to actually because you know the company couldn't just say okay. We believe you know they have to wait for official notice that goes through the payroll system and all that now its its host. It's like having your identity stolen but this time is by the government opposite effect well so if you thought that was bad

College Tuition Inflation and Student Loan Scams

Citing a report by John Stossel, the hosts discuss the 750% increase in college tuition over the last 30 years, which far outpaces general inflation and healthcare costs. They argue that government aid and student loan programs have incentivized universities to gouge students. The hosts jokingly propose starting their own "Curry Dvorak College" to offer an alternative.

john stossel· college tuition· inflation· student loans· harvard

1:10:22 Of course we have. You'd be screwed nowadays with this if they actually implement, I mean they have it in their bill but doesn't mean it's not going to be dead letter because you know the State Department says this is too much aggravation do it yourself yeah It's not our job that to be the police department If the state department goes along with this they're being the police department for another agency Well gets worse now colleges are being the bill collectors loan collectors Oh yeah, this is horrible. Yeah so if you have not... If you're delinquent on your college loan your university loan then your colleges apparently are now withholding your transcripts and your grades I mean we never heard of him. We might have heard him if he actually paid us the money he owes! But it's not even.. You don't even owe it to the University you owe it to the bank They're all in cahoots

1:11:21 So I'm listening to over the weekend, Stossel is on the warpath because he's got a new book out. And so he has a bunch of interesting... this was a good show we did on Saturday but play this one little clip colleges up 750% and let me tell you what conclusion I draw from this You want to go to college? It's expensive. A year at Harvard now costs more than $50,000. State schools often cost 30,000. The politicians in there say we can make college affordable for everyone!

1:12:00 But no, they can't. They've tried federal spending and college aid has doubled then doubled again but as government aid grew so did tuition over the past 30 years inflation was a hundred sixty percent we're upset that health care costs grew more 400% but college tuition rose 750%. 750? Yeah, 750. It's turned into this huge scam colleges have become corrupt in every sense of the word but when I heard this report the first thing i thought of because apparently they can charge as much as they can and you know they get to college loan program screw it screw the future screw the kids make them pay you know these ridiculous fees for these loans is crummy loans you have to keep not like a little alone when I was a kid took out two thousand dollar loan that was it could use his head could you say that will differently

1:12:56 Did you say when I was a kid? When i was a kid. So anyway, so I'm listening to this report that you but what goes through my mind is that inflation over the last 15 years inflation's up 160 medical 400 colleges 750. I'm thinking oh the medical guys have got ways to go to catch up they're gonna that means we're going to get another doubling and the cost of medical because there this is all a gouge The entire system is based on you got a... What are you going to pay if the pills cost, you know 20 bucks and they want to charge you 40? What are you gonna do about it. They want to charge 80 what are you gonna do about it? They wanna charge 160? Nobody's gonna do nothing yeah exactly nothing And that's what the colleges have figured out they said wow these kids who all want to go to school and especially in a downturned economy let's just gouge them! Why does University of California which was free when I was a kid

1:13:52 Costs like thirty forty thousand dollars to go to now. It's a state-run institution Yeah, really is it that much yeah? That's crazy. It's out of control so how do How do your kids feel that they're not going to college? Only Jay is the only one. Jay is going to college, she's gonna... whatever I have to scrimp to get her through, I'm not letting her take out a penny in one of these scam loans. These things are corrupt! Can't we start a university? Yeah, we could. A lot of people are starting private institutions of all sorts. Why don't we start a university? Jack DeVinci's capital friend and mine is involved in private education. Of course it's a big money maker! And he's seeing it as a bonanza especially at trade schools He's a little bit behind the curve actually I think No no he's not behind the curve you told me about this six seven years ago Oh okay well I think we should start an institution It'll be online University We give you a little bot so your bot basically checks-in

DSM-5 Proposals and the Alcoholism Spectrum

The proposed DSM-5 manual includes new criteria for diagnosing alcohol abuse that the hosts find overly broad. Under the new "spectrum" model, common behaviors such as drinking alone, drinking to relieve stress, or drinking to overcome shyness could qualify an individual for a diagnosis. They suggest these changes are designed to expand the market for pharmaceutical treatments.

dsm-5· alcoholism· psychiatry· mental health· big pharma

1:14:56 And it just, you know does all the multiple choice things and we just give you all grades at the end. And then if you ever need someone to vouch for you, yeah, like hey, yeah absolutely he went through the Curry Dvorak College and that CDC I like it curry Dvorak College for the criminally insane. Right? I'm just saying this another opportunity John. I'm just saying you said it again. I did but I am only mentioning You're gonna have a hard time with that one. It is a huge opportunity! So I'm reading through the, just to shift gears because i'm loving this so much the DSM-5 proposals Diagnostic and Statistical Manual This is the same guys who basically come up with reasons to feed your children Ritalin And they have a new section in here about alcohol abuse What what in your mind Dr. Dvorak constitutes an alcoholic?

1:15:57 I think it would probably be someone who drinks too much all the time. Well, first of all what is too much? Second of all should you...I was always taught that alcoholism is a disease so a disease in my mind means it can be diagnosed by some form of test What is the test for diagnosing alcoholism I don't know. Well, would you like to know? Yeah! I'm all ears So you'll remember that for- uh To be on the autistic spectrum disorder Uh If your kid Your kid can qualify just by spinning a lot Which we found quite humorous Cause I think I was spinning as a kid I think you still do that So if you can answer One of the following questions You're probably an alcoholic Are you ready? K You drink to relieve stress

1:16:52 You often, you know? Okay. You often drink alone! Come on, you know you do. Well I have a... Sure if i'm by myself and having dinner and want to have a glass of wine what am I supposed to do? Invite someone over?! Yes unless you wanna wear the white jacket Mr. Dvorak Uh..you look forward to drinking Eh maybe Like I'd mow the grass like ohhh I love beer right now Oh yeah you'd mow the grass and you're out there sweating like a pig And you want to have a beer sure You're an alcoholic Your drinking may be related to one or more health problems. I don't qualify for that one You drink to relieve boredom or loneliness? Yeah, come on big come on well of course it's vague That's the whole point you sometimes drink to relieve boredom. I got too many thing I gotta clean my office you sometimes drive after drinking all the time You drink to maintain a buzz

1:17:51 Now that's to me is closer to being an alcoholic. That is the one I think qualifies your performance at work is not what it used to be well yeah whatever hello we'll give you two chimes for that You aren't comfortable in social situations without drinking, I think that's quite common people...I don't know if it's your not come but people feel comfortable when everyone around them is holding a drink you want to drink right? And this one, you find that drinking helps you overcome your shyness. Yeah! Absolutely But any one of these behaviors... No no not anyone they have to be like five of them or ten? No. No. What do you mean NO?! People fall into the alcohol abuse category

1:18:42 For any one of those? Yes. No! And it says here... That's idiotic! Psychologists considering... In other words, if you drink at all under any circumstance You've ever had a drink If you have one drink a year, you're an alcoholic Only if It qualifies under these points and by the way again here it is you're on the spectrum Oh yeah, that's the latest. You're on the alcoholic spectrum Yeah from teetotaler which means you don't drink anything to... Exactly To you're on the spectrum even if you just drink alone then you're on the spectrum oh yeah this

Military Drug Use and Alzheimer's Diagnostic Dyes

Reports from the Chicago Tribune indicate that the U.S. military is increasingly using psychiatric drugs to keep soldiers in the field, leading to blackouts and violent outbursts. Additionally, the FDA approved an Eli Lilly diagnostic dye for Alzheimer's despite previous concerns about false positives. The hosts argue these developments prioritize pharmaceutical profits over patient safety.

big pharma· soldiers· ptsd· eli lilly· alzheimers· fda

1:19:20 I'm going to put that video in the show notes again. People have to see that about the DSM, there's a whole bunch of doctors just saying this is a scam. This is becoming a bigger form of corruption good story in The Chicago Tribune about uh... the drug use and in the effect I'll send you the link so we can put it on the show notes. The drug use in the various wars and how more recently, especially with the Iraq war they've decided to change their whole style of if you were in the Vietnam War for example you couldn't have anything with drugs and it would be kicked out. They want people drugged up! Oh, the soldiers you mean? Yeah. Oh yeah absolutely. Soldiers drugged up... And so I'm reading this article and it goes on about these guys

1:20:03 Right here both the American Psychological Association reading from the article on the American Psychiatric Association in a 2010 congressional hearing urged the army to stay the course on using the drugs keep these soldiers drugged up and now they find these guys are blacking out having all kinds of issues because they're strung out on a series not just one drug, but a whole bunch of them. And that is what happened with this crazy guy who shot those guys in Afghanistan and their sweeping him under the rug you know I'm sure if you read there's been example after example of a guy apparently walking into a... he doesn't even remember where he was and shooting somebody

1:20:49 Yeah, it's pathetic. It's totally pathetic and these sick pricks from these associations that these doctors are promoting the idea of just drugging everybody and this is example this alcoholism thing it's another perfect example they're doing...it's all financed by big pharma yeah and there will be I'm sure some kind of vaccine against it soon enough oh yeah They've been talking about it This one also caught my eye while we were staying on vaccines Eli Lilly Got to go ahead from the FDA, is it the FDA? No. Yeah the Food and Drug Administration To market what is it called here Amivid and amivid is a injectable I think it's an injectable that It's a dye basically And it goes into your brain and then you look on a scan and it shows if you have Alzheimer's or not

1:21:44 However, initially the FDA recommended against approving the dye last year. saying that doctors might have trouble interpreting the scans. It's a plaque, essentially." So they said no it's no good because even if you don't have Alzheimer's other neurological conditions can make this dye turn red or whatever color it is, orange I see here in the picture And then Eli Lilly, you know what they do? They said well we'll go figure this out. So they come back a year later and say we've identified better ways of training doctors to use this so it's all good now and the FDA approves it. This is all related to the Alzheimer thing. It's perfect! Yeah my favorite one is the

Cybersecurity Act of 2012 and Government Hacking Competitions

The Cybersecurity Act of 2012, introduced by Senator Joe Lieberman, proposes giving the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) oversight of critical infrastructure. The bill includes provisions for national "hacking competitions" to recruit talent from high schools and colleges. The hosts suggest these competitions may serve as "honeypots" to identify and monitor skilled hackers.

cybersecurity act· joe lieberman· dhs· hacking· recruitment

1:22:37 Everyone's good. Do you decide alcoholism? Everyone's gonna have Alzheimer's even though it's not identifiable Remember they let that one in where they all of a sudden said well, you know We think a lot of people have Alzheimer's but we can't prove it Well no we forgot and we forgot how to prove it Sorry, I got any bad All right You want another piece of legislation that slipped by okay. Alright so what did we have just this past week What was the big cyber security news? What was it? Visa MasterCard. Their processing unit Well, they say... I mean, I immediately went online and checked It didn't look like anyone was using my... I don't have a credit card but it's a MasterCard-based debit Then they would likely not be using it Yes No Oh you have the right You have the MasterCard provided by Yeah, it's a debit But it is provided by... You can use it as a credit card Well yeah but there's no credit There's just... Use it as a credit card but still a debit Right Exactly

1:23:39 So that was a nice setup and of course we've been following, I didn't pull any of the old clips but all these idiots in the Senate and Congress who were just letting the cybersecurity squirrels frighten them into oh! We've had three billion attacks. Remember that? Oh I should actually pull that clip out... How many different sessions did we watch John Of our government who are just total nincompoops understand nothing about cyber security and just oh yeah well it's bad they're already in all the Chinas are already in we're all gonna die. Oh this is horrible right? Yep so our buddy Joe Lieber knuckle what's his name Lieberman

1:24:32 He comes out with his bill. This is a monster and I'm amazed that no one's really looking at this Mr Lieberman along with Mr Rockefeller, along with Miss Collins That's the idiot who we had the clips from And Dianne Feinstein come out with The Cybersecurity Act of 2012 Wow And this, again it's a monster of a bill. This act shall supersede any statute provision of the statute regulation or rule of the state or political subdivision of a state that expressly requires comparable cybersecurity practices to protect covered critical infrastructure and it is going to be run by who was going to run the cyber security of our critical infrastructure? DHS probably. Yes Department Of Homeland Security these idiots are going to be running it

1:25:27 And let's see, I've marked up a whole lot of things. I'm not going to go through everything but they are also as part of the bill the government Department Homeland Security is instructed to recruit techno experts from the private field so they're gonna come out with... They get a job! Yes indeed The National Cybersecurity Competition and Challenge it's a reality show competition yeah Talent competition and challenge. That's in this bill, it was great! The Secretary of Homeland Security and the Secretary of Commerce will establish a program to conduct competitions and challenges... ...and ensure the effective operation of national and statewide competitions and challenges that seek to identify develop and recruit talented individuals to work in federal agencies state and local government agencies and private sectors perform duties relating to security at the Federal Information Infrastructure. Woohoo!!

1:26:23 We should pitch a reality show to them, seriously. How soon can you hack into this? Okay the clock is running ready go! Wow Participation in the competitions and challenges shall include students enrolled in grades 9 through 12 Students enrolled in a post-secondary program of studying leading to a baccalaureate degree Students enrolled in a post baccalaureate program Veterans, other groups of individuals that the Secretary of Homeland Security and Secretary of Commerce determine appropriate. Which I think would be the TSA. Let's bring them in give them something to do. So I thought that was pretty interesting areas of talent required for this reality show ethical hacking here's my favorite penetration testing can i please be part of the penetration testing team

1:27:24 vulnerability assessment, continuity of system operations cyber forensics and offensive and defensive cyber operations. And John this is going to be a bonanza! Well first of all for people out there listening I immediately think when i see this and I think that hackers would see the same way, this looks more like a honeypot than it looks like any sort of job. You don't hire people based on this sort of thing This is a way to find hackers and throw them in jail Maybe maybe but here's the one thing that caught my eye in this and I put a big red box around it in the PDF file in the show notes 398.nashownotes.com under the research and development program

Internet Protocol Changes and Botnet Regulation

The Cybersecurity Act also seeks to accelerate the deployment of "secure" versions of fundamental internet protocols, including DNS and routing. The hosts warn that this gives the government the ability to manipulate the core architecture of the internet. The bill also targets botnets, which the hosts note could have significant implications for the online advertising industry.

dns· internet protocols· botnets· cybersecurity· legislation

1:28:12 Top of the list. To advance the development and accelerate the deployment, Of more secure versions of fundamental internet protocols and architectures Including for the secure domain name addressing system And routing security So they are going to be messing with the core protocols of the Internet They don't have this is not a good thing so they're gonna start screwing with DNS Is what it boils down to Indeed So this is now, they're going to look for some way so things shut down the internet. The drop of a hat if they have to I think I've discussed this before and you know something that kills which this is what they're working exactly now just wrapped this one up because I can't go through all 300 pages Congress reports back in this act on what they discovered right? We heard all the sound bites but now they've written it down congress finds the following

1:29:14 So first, as a little positioning information technology is central to the effectiveness efficiency and reliability of the whole world. Cyber criminals terrorists and agents of foreign powers have taken advantage of the connectivity of the United States To inflict substantial damage to the economic and national security interests of the nation It's a fact! Three The cyber security threat is sophisticated relentless and massive Exposing all consumers in the United States to the risk of substantial harm. Remember this is what your Congress found. Four, businesses in the United States are bearing enormous losses as a result of criminal cyber attacks depriving business of hard-earned profits that could be reinvested and further job producing innovation I gotta give him an A for humor

1:30:12 Hackers continuously probe the networks of federal and state agencies, the armed forces and the commercial industry base of the armed forces. And have already caused substantial damage in compromise sensitive and classified information Severe cyber security threats will continue and will likely grow as the economy of the United States grows more connected. Criminals become increasingly sophisticated in efforts to steal from consumers, industries and businesses in the United States And terrorists and foreign nations continue to use cyberspace As a means of attack against the national public security Of The United States! And to wrap this up...as of 2012 The level of public awareness of cybersecurity threats is UNACCEPTABLY LOW!!!

1:30:54 Only a tiny portion of relevant cyber security information is released to the public. Information about attacks on federal government systems is unusually classified! Information about attacks on private systems is only kept confidential, this must change!! We must let everyone know!!! You should be on a balcony. I... what is it? Uh.. I'm not gonna take in anymore?? No no, a balcony like a Mussolini kind of thing. Oh thank you So you're doing, you're doing a Mussolini. Okay and then I just finally report on preparedness of federal courts to promote cybersecurity Congress will report interesting here the federal because this tells you what law is coming next Congress or the Attorney General will report to Congress on whether federal courts have granted timely relief in matters relating to bot nets and other cybercrime and cybersecurity threats

1:31:52 This is very interesting. So they're going to... this will, by the way has the potential to ruin the advertising business on the internet so they're gonna go after botnets and they're going to have I guess some laws too you know if you're operating a botnet you'd go into the brig it's about time yeah so uh this is it's a big bill It says Senate Bill 2105 ummm....I just thought The entire idea of the competition and challenges, I like your take on it. About it being a honeypot Totally like that But you know there's gonna be a lot of A-holes are gonna be like, hey! It's a job Let's go work for the government Well Yeah, a lotta that going on Yeah Well Talking about that I think this time we play our jingle and thank some people I'm gonna show my support by donating to KnowAgenda Imagine all the people who could do that Oh yeah, that'd be fab

RV Tour Logistics and Canadian Debt Speech

The hosts discuss logistics for a potential "Hot Pockets" tour, expressing a preference for a trailer over a full RV. They also highlight a viral video of a 12-year-old Canadian girl giving a sophisticated speech about the national debt and the banking system, praising her for exposing the "enslavement" of the people.

Presidential Easter Address and Texts from Hillary

President Obama's Easter address is criticized for its vague "redemption at God's hand" phrasing. The hosts also discuss a government PSA about the dangers of texting while driving, which leads to a mention of the popular "Texts from Hillary" Tumblr blog featuring humorous memes of the Secretary of State.

1:55:58 It's a beautiful thing. I love that. Yeah, it was great! Right on for the Canadians right on Hey what is... just wanted to play this one clip because the president did his annual address for Easter? Yeah, I heard it. I actually listened to this one and then a Republican woman comes on and she's got nothing to do with...I mean she is completely off base. Maybe i'm not hearing it right here's the opening of his address For millions of Americans This weekend is time to celebrate redemption at God's hand What does that mean Have no idea redemption at God's hand. It's like I'm being punished and I deserve it I don't know or you're being redeemed you're being reaffirmed as a whatever Thanks Thanks, what is the gods hand so? I'm being saved from sin error or evil at God's hand I guess hmm I don't know what it means III found that to be nobody was doing who wrote that it's just like oh

1:57:04 Maybe it's all code. I have no idea. I found that interesting so i found a couple of interesting clips on the free speech tv which includes by the way there was they actually still run PSA, remember the PSA? Yeah public service announcement yeah when's the last time you ever heard one and they're always on at three in the morning right because prime time the psa kind of got replaced by the PI which is the per inquiry which is like the skillet thing i played So, you know if the way it works is if you can't sell a commercial for slot then you run like an infomercial and then the station gets a VIG, piece of action on everything that's sold. Right. So PSAs are pretty much they don't exist I mean they make them there's a whole industry of government paying production houses to make but I think they're used very much

1:57:57 No, but I did run into one that actually was used. And i'll tell you... You can play it but you can set up.. I'll set it up for you There's some guy in his car text messaging with the family and they're all looking at their phone and he takes his eyes off the road and then he runs over and apparently kills entire family of black people. Oh there you go! Who were putting some stuff in their minivan, they're putting stuff in the back three of them a mom and dad. In their covered wagon please tell me. And these guys in another minivan doing about 50 miles an hour in a residential zone and that's the end of that but they also have like this crazy website that is impossible to remember it just it's just a bad web show bad bad

CHAPTER 29 / 41 Discussion

PBS Forgiveness Segment and New Age Criticism

The hosts critique a PBS segment featuring spiritual teacher Marianne Williamson, who discussed the health benefits of forgiveness. They argue that such "New Age mumbo jumbo" does not belong on public broadcasting and mock the claim that academic institutions have "statistically verified" the power of love and prayer.

pbs· marianne williamson· forgiveness· stress· public broadcasting

1:59:37 Oh, so they show a picture which is the recipient of Hillary's thing. It's really funny I like the Zuckerberg one friend request sent and Hillary's like reject That was good Yeah somebody looking for a job as a comic writer yeah, I still liked the elevators text from oh yeah from the Twitter Goldman Sachs elevator So, I probably should have played this before the donation segment but i wanted to remind people about how you know the public broadcasting scroungers are just the worst people. This is a show of...I'm gonna just play..just took a little clip of the show that was running on PBS yesterday. Is that my cue? Yeah it was

2:00:34 We're going to begin our show today by focusing on one of the most powerful forces in the universe It's a force that can help us all live healthier happier lives if we're able to tap into it. We're talking about the immense power of forgiveness You know, the most prestigious academic institutions in the United States have now statistically verified that people who attend support groups, that people who practice forgiveness, that people who have more love in their lives. That people who pray and meditate on a regular basis they are physically healthier. Mary Ann Williamson is an acclaimed spiritual teacher and author many of her nine books have become bestsellers Newsweek magazine has called her one of the 50 most influential members of The Baby Boom Generation

2:01:19 And she has a lot to say about how forgiveness, or the lack of it affects our health. So forgiveness, unforgiveness is a withhold of love. And in that withhold of love we are armored and we are defensive and angry and tough. We know that stress is the greatest contributor to illness so absolutely! So she's selling books and DVDs? No no just a nice PBS show about forgiveness with a bunch bullcrap dreck like oh academic is statistically great academic institutions have statistically verified facts and this fact bull crap and then she has at the end she makes it has a non sequitur that she mentions as well you know if your forgiveness to you know forgiveness is good and it's been proven that stress makes you live long which says got nothing do with stress

2:02:16 Mean this but this is on PBS. This is like new-age mumbo jumbo bullcrap that has pushed onto the public through public broadcasting it's supposed to be some sort of a above you know above the fold kind of better than Regular commercial TV kind of thing we have to listen at this this just rubbish I'm asking you well I will say that no, it doesn't belong on PBS. I will say on the other hand... Uhh..I do believe that forgiveness is good and it makes you live longer and... Oh bah! Yeah what? Oh bah?! It makes you live longer. Yeah, I forgive everybody for all their evil

2:02:58 Well, good for you. I don't want to hear about it on this show or on PBS. It's okay John! I forgive you for that. Don't worry about it Wow, I didn't think that. Yeah it doesn't belong on PBS but come on! It's a well known fact! The science is in! It's a fact! Forgiveness is good! What?! Hey man you hurt my feelings! I'm not a spinner! A spinner? That was bad Don't call me a spinner they'll put me under drugs! Well...I was um

James Hansen, Carbon Fees, and Climate Change PSAs

NASA scientist James Hansen is set to deliver a lecture in Edinburgh calling for a rising fee on carbon emissions. The hosts play a dramatic PSA about climate change that suggests "everything disappears" as the planet warms, which they dismiss as alarmist "blather" intended to influence policy at the upcoming Rio summit.

james hansen· nasa· carbon tax· climate change· guardian

2:03:43 This is actually, we have it under the heading of... So it doesn't take place till Tuesday but this Professor Jim Hansen Is going to do a big lecture at Edinburgh International Science Festival. Is this the guy that climate change? Oh yeah! That's the guy Yeah he IS THE GUY He is THE GUY And so The Guardian of course jumps right on his dick And, uh, ooh hey I love you! And he's a NASA scientist. The headline at the Guardian writes... Ha ha! Just in time for Rio

2:04:37 I can't wait to hear this lecture. I don't know if it's going to be broadcast somewhere, or hopefully on YouTube or something...I just can't wait! I cannot wait!" He says the climate change problem can't be fixed by individual specific changes it has to be across-the-board rising fee on carbon emissions We can't simply say there's a climate problem and leave it to the politicians. They're so clearly under the influence of the fossil fuel industry that they're coming up with cockamamie, good word, cockamami solutions which aren't solutions! That is the bottom line! The science is in! Science! We might as well play my clip which is a commercial another PSA called Climate Change Blather. Ooh lovely

2:05:36 To imagine a world without birds is to imagine a book without words As our climate changes everything around us disappears What will tomorrow look like? That depends on what we do today You're gonna die kid Face everything Disappears, you know I saw this excellent movie yesterday. It was a recommendation from dr Ryan our buddy here he's uh

The Road Movie Review and Zombie Comedies

The hosts review the 2009 film "The Road," describing it as a beautifully depressing story about survival after an unspecified apocalypse. They joke that global warming caused the film's collapse. The discussion shifts to "zombities" (zombie comedies) like "Zombieland" and "Shaun of the Dead," which are recommended as lighter alternatives.

the road· viggo mortensen· apocalypse· zombies· zombieland

2:06:14 Mickey's chiropractor, and he's a cool dude by the way He cuz he's got a boat. Yeah subscription to the boat They always want to take us out on the boat a dog no actually is cool guy from Hawaii original Originally it says you've gotta watch this movie The Road have you ever seen this movie The Road yeah from 2009 its stars was in it Viggo Mortensen Charlize Theron What's that thing? Oh, Robert Duvall makes an awesome cameo in it. And the whole movie is set after the apocalypse and he and his son are trying to... It was one of those depressing Cormac McCarthy stories. It's fantastic! So the world has completely gone to hell in a handbasket there's no food and people are eating each other so they capture people and then eat them

2:07:12 And it's a beautiful story. Oh yeah, sounds great! Uplifting! You should watch this. They're eating them. Beautiful, beautiful story! It ends beautifully, it really does but the moral of the story is you want ammo not food that's because he's walking around with his son and there are gangs out there grabbing people and eating him It's a total Disney. Great story, grabbing him and eating him! But he only has two bullets left And he is saving those in case he has to kill his son and then kill himself That's not how it ends

2:07:54 But you have to watch this movie and it's not said, specifically stated in the storyline as to how the apocalypse happened. Mickey, you thought it was like a meteorite right? I'm scared of zombies. She is scared of zombies. I know what caused it! Global warming. Yeah global warming exactly. Noble was published by 2006 in his interview with Oprah McCarthy indicated the inspiration for The Road came during 2003 visit to El Paso, Texas. Oh really? That was his inspiration? Imagine what the city might look like in the future You've gotta see this movie you can get it on Netflix or Amazon or something anything like that It's good and Charlize Theron is in it Which is a thank-you love Thank you so much I'll enjoy this cup of coffee before the apocalypse Mickey does not like zombie movies

2:08:55 He does not like cannibalism. Zombieland's no movie for you then? I've seen, she will NOT see that! She seems... It's hilarious it's a comedy! A zombie comedy, a zombity! A zombity?! Is that a category!? It is now. Let me see, let me see. Zombidy With a Y or I-E? I think with a y. Zombody. Let's see if someone has to... Make it a word. Zombody dot com There ya go what's on zombies dot com That's a good word Zombity. Someone's already got it. Zombieland, Shaun of the Dead, Dead Alive, Army of Darkness... Good one! There you go! Yeah, zombity. It says zombity. You're right. Great minds think alike. Well I'll tell ya one thing- And by the way, Shaun of the Dead is hilarious. That is good. But I will say again do not repeat do not be suckered in to buying The Zombie Slayer as your protection. It sucks balls

CHAPTER 32 / 41 Discussion

Colony Collapse Disorder and High Fructose Corn Syrup

A Harvard study linking colony collapse disorder in bees to high fructose corn syrup is analyzed as a potential PR move by the sugar industry. The hosts point out that the study actually focused on pesticides (imidacloprid) used on corn, and the "corn syrup" headline is a strategic distraction in the ongoing "sugar wars."

bees· colony collapse disorder· harvard· high fructose corn syrup· sugar industry

2:09:55 It is not a good weapon. I thought you'd do more research before just buying a gun? Well, I have the one i need The Judge is all I need Yeah Well although now im in the market for an AR-15 Oh those are expensive! Yeah they are You can get a... You'll have to save up for that No kidding it's like my birthday hopefully But its ummm yeah well if you can get an AR-15 For like 400 bucks but ya know it may fly apart When I was at Red's, they said show me some AR-15s. Like wow! A good one starts like a thousand bucks is very expensive yeah very expensive so a lot of people sent me this sticking with the biodiversity and i think people missed what's going on here you've probably seen the story that's now going viral and the tip off is right in the beginning scientists with the Harvard School of Public Health I mean that should be ringing alarm bells for our producers when they read this

2:10:56 have discovered that colony collapse disorder is caused by high fructose corn syrup. And I'm sorry to disappoint y'all, but this is a PR move by the sugar industry. This has nothing to do with any science that anyone gives a crap about because if you look into the report what the report says is they fed... They fed the bees corn that was sprayed with imidacloprid, which is a pesticide. And from that somehow this story has been extrapolated that says high fructose corn syrup is killing bees and I'm sorry it's another PR move in the sugar wars and of course we don't like high fructose corn syrup

2:11:55 But someone is out there trying to make it sound really bad with a falsified story. So, you know when you get when you see these stories don't just... Don't email that to me do a little work! You know it says right there scientists for the Harvard School of Public Health and then go and look at their paper. You didn't get a whole bunch of emails about this? No I know about the story, but i didn't...I never saw the tie into high fructose corn syrup. I thought it was all about the pesticide Funny no well so much somewhere. It got morphed into this I didn't know that yeah somewhere it says on more along the line of change and like oh hi fuckers corn chip like Bees don't go out generally is like Yeah, there's a problem with you know you get on this one side of an issue And then you know the same kind of propagandistic bullcrap shows up on that side nobody wants to actually Get down to the real issues here in high fructose corn You know a lot of times it's possible that this

2:12:56 the high fructose corn syrup, they may have planted the story themselves so they can go into the opposite mode and say look this is a set up by the sugar crazed sugar nuts.

Animal Friendships and Stars Earn Stripes Reality Show

A local news story about a piglet named Mooshu befriending a golden retriever is briefly mentioned before the hosts pivot to "Stars Earn Stripes." This new reality show, produced by Mark Burnett and Dick Wolf, features celebrities performing military exercises, which the hosts view as further "militarization" of the public.

animal stories· mooshu the pig· stars earn stripes· mark burnett· militarization

2:13:52 So if you really want to get something out there and what you immediately see is other producers are reading this, and they'll do some research. And they find stuff and it's somehow it's working very well I enjoy it. Yeah we get stories like this one. I have a really good dog-and-pig story from our local news Wait a minute. I don't see dog and pig oh yeah, oh there it is Okay woman noticed the piglet on this piglet on the side of a road It had fallen out of a livestock semi woman bought the piddles Piglet home where she befriended the family golden retriever The dog looked after the piglet named Mooshu helping her recover from the fall to have been best friends I love that story only a golden retriever or was it a yellow lab?

2:14:37 Hold on hold on a second. Yeah, got him both of them good. Oh what idiots? Yes, oh What is that going this is the stupidest thing ever no no cares now this is stupid I know I know no this is yeah Just it's not a clip a new television reality competition series you ready for it Okay stars earn stripes This is a new show from Dick Wolf We know how compromised Dick Wolf is and Mark Burnett. Oh my! Nine celebrities from music, sports and Hollywood will be paired with trainers at a top-notch secret training facility... And they will be uh... Uh doing military exercises.

2:15:33 Weekly challenges. Does anybody want to watch something like that? It's not interesting. Of course it has celebrities. Weekly challenges such as hostage rescue exercises or placing a laser target atop of mountains. More militarization of the American public at large. Precisely, get ready just train you for it is exactly what it is. You know first he kills the tent pole essentially Law and Order New York the main show and then all the other shows drop dead because that thing was holding them all up and now he's got nothing except special victims unit which you know has changed its style completely. So I'm watching Free Speech TV Wow what a channel is this on? I gotta get me this What do you got? I don't think i have free speech tv Yeah, ya do. Well if you have the Dish Network you do

CHAPTER 34 / 41 Discussion

Free Speech TV and US Credit Downgrade

The hosts critique "Free Speech TV" for airing viewer complaints that ignore the NDAA and executive power. They also report that the ratings firm Egan-Jones has downgraded the U.S. credit rating to AA, though the news received little mainstream coverage compared to previous downgrades by larger firms.

free speech tv· ndaa· egan-jones· credit rating· economy

2:16:24 FSTV. Anyway, Free Speech TV so they have all these they have these little interstitials because no one wants to buy ads on this network now No one's watching it except you So they ran into this when I want this I want that which was followed by a visual of which i thought Was a hook to this commercial but I'll read it to yet at the end But this is a bunch of people that listen to free speech tv bellyaching about the country I want to see more serious political conversations starting to happen. I want corporations out of the government and I want people back in. I want peace rather than militarization! I want the top wealthiest Americans to be taxed higher and that money go to education. I want economic justice. I wanna speak my voice without jeopardizing my job. I want a greater regulation on banks and markets.

2:17:13 I want hookers and blow in she-males. And so at the end of this bullcrap, it comes up on the screen experts predict that by 2030 Glacier National Park will be devoid of glaciers due to global warming Our grandchildren will never see them again. Everything everyone mentioned there is not a problem of global warming, it's the problem of the NDAA that the president can kill you and drone you and black bag you and throw in a truck. No, no, Free Speech TV never complains about the NDAA. Occasionally Democracy Now! will but then they back Obama on everything else

2:17:56 So, uh... Douchebags. But anyway I thought it was interesting because that may- what was it said like maybe like six seven years ago in Great Britain that the kids will never see snow again? Not ten years ago only in snow globes and on television and on the internet will they see snow yeah Yeah Oh another fine prediction so the United States got downgraded by a guess not important company Egan Jones Egan Jones. Are you familiar with them? No, but I'm going to look him up right now. So Egan Jones downgraded the United States credit rating from AAA to AA. I'm sorry, I'm saying that wrong from AA. Yeah they were double A we already been downgrading. We were downgraded to double a plus and now they downgraded us to double-A. I didn't hear anything about this anywhere

CHAPTER 35 / 41 Discussion

Federal Reserve Resignations and Operation Twist

Brian Sack, head of the markets group at the New York Fed, has resigned effective June 29th, coinciding with the expiration of "Operation Twist." The hosts suggest Sack may be leaving before a financial downturn. A brief correction follows regarding Wikipedia's inaccurate dating of the Egan-Jones credit downgrade.

brian sack· federal reserve· operation twist· bloomberg· wikipedia

2:18:49 I mean, are they that insignificant? Egan Jones is it really well. They're not even in the Wikipedia from where how do you spell it e G a n dash Jones Really, they're not in the book of knowledge. Well, no No, I had to spelled wrong. Oh Egan Jones ratings company there you go. Yeah, okay Also known as EJR founded in 95 they are new they are NRSRO status. They're recognized So, not a question. I watched the Spokeswhole Carnies thing nothing came up about it Everyone's all about what about the war on women? War on women! This thing is pissing me off too by the way. War on women It's like you know it's only one word different from the war on terror What is that? War on Women. War on Women. So when the war and women ends who gets to surrender And another bankster has quit

2:19:53 The Brian Sack, head of the markets group at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York has tendered his resignation. Quite a surprise to Wall Street in fact Raymond Stone I'm reading from Bloomberg here no Denver Post who got it from Bloomberg Raymond stone co-founder of Stoneman McCarthy Research says I'm dumbfounded He laid the groundwork for a lot of things the Fed has done and communicated clearly to the market. He did an excellent job in a difficult situation, and his... Now this is what may be interesting His actual tenure ends on June 29th And that is the date when the Feds operation twist is set to expire Can I interrupt you for split second? Yeah

2:20:41 The Egan Jones thing wasn't covered in a big way because they were the last guys to go from AAA to AA+. That's why? They're the laggards. Everybody else has dropped the US to AA+, except these guys and now they finally did. No, but they went from AA plus to AA. Not according to Bloomberg this is story. Oh really? Egan Jones cut his rating on the U.S by one step to AA plus from triple A. It's interesting I have from Yahoo which is from Reuters Egan Jones downgraded the US to AA from a you might you might have something because this is from July of last year Yeah, it must be down. This is a bad Wikipedia Generally speaking is so accurate yeah book of knowledge here It says right here Egan Jones on July 16th became the first NR SPO to cut his ratings from AAA to AAP

2:21:32 So the first is what you said, but then when you click on the article that's referenced it's an old article that cuts it from AAA. This is Wikipedia! The Book of Knowledge is not right! Oh no! OH NO! The book of knowledge is sucking! Okay never mind sorry I interrupted you go on with your... Well no I was saying this guy is quitting the minute the Operation Twist ends does he know something we don't know? Obviously Time to get out We're seeing that in all kinds of businesses Yeah, and what is operation twist that's you talked about it with Horowitz. It was actually quite an interesting thing It's a scam. Oh yeah right the Federal Reserve scam something of the do a thing that does something Right? Yeah, yeah

CHAPTER 36 / 41 Discussion

Greek Pensioner Suicide and Eurozone Crisis

A 77-year-old Greek pensioner committed suicide in front of Parliament, leaving a note blaming the "occupation government" for erasing his pension. The hosts discuss the growing instability in Greece and Christine Lagarde's upcoming "60 Minutes" interview, where she is expected to discuss the possibility of a Greek exit from the Euro.

greece· suicide· pension· christine lagarde· eurozone

2:22:18 Is that all you can say? I don't remember anything. I'm getting old. Oh, please! 60 is nothing then. When i was a kid... We used to operation twist referred to Chevy Checker. The Euro Two notes on the Euro for those of you who had not heard the news an old pensioner shot himself in front of parliament committed suicide. Grease What did I say? You didn't say the country, did you. No well Greece and he left a suicide note let me see if i have here it is you want to hear his suicide note yeah The occupation government of Tsolagoglu

2:23:06 which is a reference to the occupation government of ex-defense minister Chugalugalugu, who became... The Occupation Government. That's right. ...has erased essentially any possibility of my survival which was based on a decent pension which for 35 years I alone without intervention of the state had paid. I am at an age which doesn't give me the individual capacity for dynamic intervention without of course precluding that if one Greek took up arms the second person would be me I can't find another solution from a decent end before i end up looking in the rubbish bins for food. I believe that the young without a future one day will take up arms and in Sadagma Square will hang upside down the national traders like the Italians did with Mussolini." Well, that's pretty good note! Yeah... Did Mike Wallace leave a note? No, I don't think he-I think you just died

2:24:04 And tonight, while all this is going on I might add Sergey Brin just sold 50 million dollars worth of Google. He knows what's going on Tonight Christine Lagarde will be on CBS, CBS What's on? 60 Minutes maybe tonight CBS? Yeah, yeah. CBS and she reportedly We'll have to watch tonight. Told CBS it is not yet certain Greece will avoid bankruptcy or a forced exit from the European Union and Eurozone. Ooh! Yeah, and of course they have the elections coming up on May 6th And there's another report this is one that you should talk to Horowitz about it This thing called Target loans in Europe? Yeah

CHAPTER 37 / 41 Discussion

Target Loans, European Finance, and Secretary of State Rumors

The hosts examine "Target loans" in Europe, which they describe as a financial house of cards involving billions in unbacked Euros. They also speculate on who might replace Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State, mentioning Valerie Jarrett, Susan Power, and Wendy Sherman as potential candidates.

target loans· germany· hillary clinton· wendy sherman· valerie jarrett

2:24:55 So the way it looks is that under these target loans, it was kind of used as a cover and Germany has printed up 400 billion euros they didn't have or can't back and just kinda made it all up. It's like...it's hard for me to understand this one because you know we get into I'm not familiar with the target loans but you know I don't know none of this seems good No, no this is basically a house of cards. Financial house of cards juggling. It's like these guys on the Ed Sullivan show he has got a bunch of dishes spinning. Right. And he keeps those dishes going. Let me ask you this question John so when Clippity-Clop resigns Hillary Lucifer

2:25:41 Shortly. Yeah, at the end of the first Obama administration and unfortunately I have to say it looks like we're going to have a second Obama administration Oh yeah Unless something changes Disturbing Who do you think will be Secretary of State? Can we... Do you want to do a red book on that who would be good for that Well let's start thinking about it It's gonna be another woman You sure? Meh Ah! Valerie Jarrett How about Susan Power? How about Meg Whitman. I don't think they'd be on the poll, no she's a Republican! Oh well so is uh...the transportation guys are Republican Yeah but that's not gonna go Secretary of State Republican no way

2:26:33 He's gonna go with some woman. It's gonna be it's got I think it's gonna be like power or that there's one other one There's three or four of these women in the cabal and they're all how would be a good one power because she's she's completely Compromised, it has to be someone who cares about the pipelines and and oil companies She has already been Hillary's under her umbrella already me How about that crazy chick? The one that looks like Lagarde Oh She might be good. The one that we, I played the clip from the other day she was, she's the US uh...she's the Africa minister? Undersecretary? Can't remember her name. Ummm.... Hold on. Africa under secretary of state. That'd be a good thing to do is have an African expert Yeah, Sherman! Sherman is her name. Uhhhh... Wendy

2:27:26 Wendy, right? Well see this becomes an issue. Right? Wendy Sherman because I don't know if we really wanted any Secretary of State and no offense to the women out there named Wendy but it's just not a good name It was a good name if you're the high school cheerleader But it's not a good name If you're the secretary of state well how come Hillary is acceptable to you then now why is that good? I've never said it was good I think Wendy's worse than Hillary. How about you know? But, but I think Wendy maybe they're priming her for the job She has that whole she looks like Lagarde she looks like who is the hell No, she got the right look and feel Hey wait a minute have you ever seen Except when you see her with outer makeup oh my god Have you ever seen Sibelius Christine Lagard and Wendy Sherman in one picture

CHAPTER 38 / 41 Discussion

News Corp Email Hacking and Fox News Blackmail

Sky News admitted to hacking the emails of suspected criminals, leading to further scrutiny of Rupert Murdoch's media empire. The hosts theorize that the Obama administration may be using evidence of similar hacking in the U.S. to blackmail Fox News into toning down its anti-administration coverage.

rupert murdoch· sky news· hacking· fox news· blackmail

2:28:20 Well, I've never seen their wig in one shot. That's for sure All right over and get more nation east here's the latest that's going on i think it relates to the united states Shares of Rupert Murdoch's News Corp rebounded slightly after Sky News, 39% owned by News Corp admits its sky journalists hacked emails of suspected criminals on two occasions. The company also admitted to compromising national law around airport security and illegal weapons not once but twice. Sky news chief John Raleigh said in a statement and I quote we stand by these actions as editorially justified and in the public interest

2:28:58 We do not take such decisions lightly or frequently. They require finely balanced judgment based on individual circumstances." Whoa! So, whoa... so James of course resigned last week and I- Yeah this is all out to get him Well..I think something else Have you been watching Fox recently? Uh, I watch Fox on occasion So I have a feeling, you know we saw Judge Napolitano go. They've toned down a lot of their anti-Obama stuff which i really think they have toned it down a little bit. I would agree! I have this feeling that this of course did not only happen in Gitmo Nation East that the Murdoch tentacles have been doing the same here in the United States and I think they're being blackmailed saying look you guys better get on board with our program

2:29:56 And you better like swing with us or we're gonna bring down everything in the state. And let's face it, Fox Communications is I mean it's the mother load here. Well now that but the movies and exactly the network TV cable channels plural uh-huh and all the other fingers they got in a pie yeah so yeah if you had to if you had the goods on them and you were Axelrod You could go over and have a meeting. Make sure that you know what you're doing here, I want to make sure get rid of Murdoch James Murdoch let's make sure your firearm that'll be the signal that is okay yeah you're playing ball yep so keep your eyes on what's going on and key yeah so just watch Fox compromise whether it's horrible anyway in terms of nice legs

CHAPTER 39 / 41 Discussion

Prescription Drug Abuse and Afghan Poppy Fields

A report indicates that prescription painkillers are now more expensive on the black market than heroin, leading to a rise in pharmacy robberies. The hosts also highlight a front-page New York Times photo of U.S. soldiers walking through blooming poppy fields in Afghanistan, suggesting the military is protecting the opium trade.

2:30:47 Nice legs got it now watch guilty watch gill foil just bouncing early. Did you say guilty? Gilfoyle I'd like Guilty better All right, there's two clips I see in your list that would love for you to play and then we have an end of show clip which We're gonna roll out what is the prescription drugs clip that looks pretty good. I don't even see that more expensive than oh yeah I thought this was good This was one of these things on I think it was C-SPAN where the guy's describing the addiction or one of those networks, about the prescription drug situation getting out of control because they're trying to crack down on their drug companies. And then he just slips in this little noteworthy point about heroin. This is on pharmacies now? The DEA says it looks for red flags things like unusually large orders and an effort to prevent prescription painkillers from being sold illegally

2:31:42 The National Association of Chain Drug Stores says it has zero tolerance for prescription drugs being diverted to the black market. But it's also working with law enforcement on another problem, the rise in prescription drug abuse has led to pharmacies around the country being robbed In New York's Suffolk County four people were killed in a pharmacy robbery last June Unfortunately its'a very serious problem and the fact that The price on the black market of prescription drugs, mainly painkillers is so high and that they can actually buy heroin at 25% less. I like he's got a number! Yeah of course it's in the annual report

2:32:28 Wow, so the fake stuff is more expensive than the real deal? Well, the manufacturers say yeah. The Oxy... A joke of it! The Oxy is more exp- ow It's about I think the heroin is about to go up though You know, you can do it. You can gouge your customers I did find one point in that little clip interesting where the with the woman to deal voiceover says the National Association of Pharmacies has a zero tolerance so what? It was zero tolerance Yeah So what does this associate yes is like saying then you know the bowling tournament association Zero tolerance plus oh what

2:33:05 Yeah, what does that make? It's not zero tolerance. Who are they kidding here with this? Yeah Well they got to do with it You know I'm not a member of the association so what are you gonna do about it? I mean this is dumb! I think the poppy price is gonna go up a little bit NATO has now... Front page Front page, Sunday New York Times. You gotta see this article. Big picture on the front page. Still far afield it says American soldiers walk through the poppy fields during a mission with Afghan troops in Kandahar province on Saturday and they got all these blooming poppies these are beauties by the way These poppies And there's just soldiers walking through like there is path cut right into middle of field I thought their supposed to be chopping stuff down or something This is bull crap

2:33:53 This is like a, this is code. This picture's the front page of today's New York Times Sunday times What's the name of the article? It's... there's no article it's just a picture Really? Yeah there's no article that says maybe you can look for the slug which is still far afield There was no article attached to this Really? Just a picture? It's like saying okay now here's the stat, its' like a status report Here's the status of the poppy fields. Let's put it on the front page in The New York Times for all you investors! Seriously?

There is no article attached to it, at least not on the front page that doesn't say see page 5 or anything I can't find anything Well we're not going to have any news for the next five days It will all be about Mike Wallace

CHAPTER 40 / 41 Discussion

NATO Russian Transit and Head Start Failure

Russia has agreed to allow NATO to use an airfield for transiting "non-lethal cargo" into Afghanistan. The hosts also discuss a federal study showing that the "Head Start" preschool program provides zero long-term benefits for children, yet continues to receive billion-dollar budget increases under the Obama administration.

nato· russia· afghanistan· head start· education· barack obama

2:34:42 Oh, well that when you talked about Christine Lagarde's getting bumped. She might she might get bumped for sure she might get bumped and that would suck I didn't have to watch it the Kremlin expressed its willingness on Wednesday to allow NATO to use an airfield in the heart of Russia to transit troops and quote non-lethal cargo in and out of Afghanistan hello? Non lethal cargo yeah what does that mean poppies

2:35:20 Yeah. Or just a finished heroine? Black tar maybe. And then I wanted to hear your... which one is it? Head Start as a Jip or do you want to save that? Yeah, play Head Start as a Jip! What is head start? Head Start is a preschool program that the government drops billions on, that's supposed to give kids especially from underperforming areas give the kids a head start. Zero advantage for disadvantaged kids. What do you mean zero advantage? There was a study that just came out in 2010 funded by the federal government it looked at 114 indicators and did not find one positive outcome Some poor kids got Head Start other kids didn't They couldn't tell the difference

2:36:08 between the kid that had the large Head Start investment and the similar poor disadvantaged kid. The government's own study found positive impacts while the kids were in Head Start, but one year later all gone by kindergarten and first grade they could find no difference in the kids that went and the kids that didn't Now our president's taken a strong stance against ineffective programs. We've got to eliminate programs that don't work. Eliminating programs that don't work. Eliminating programs that no longer work! We spent more than $100 billion and the government does this big study and finds, oops, no difference so they say okay we're gonna stop

2:36:48 No, instead it gets a billion dollar increase. And then the next year in 2012 this year it gets a 400 million dollar increase and an Obama's 2013 budget It gets another hundred million dollar increase Wait a minute! This is the thing they all said that George Bush created that was sucked? Well, I think George Bush is credited with the no child left behind. Head start? No child left behind whatever it's all a ripoff is another just the thing that's like babysitting and very expensive babysitting to see if your kid spinning right and apparently you never went to headstart know because they would have nailed me immediately for spinning yes would have been no good ever go those rock concerts as old rock concerts where there was a lot of stuff being smoked in there's always some woman up in the balcony spinning

CHAPTER 41 / 41 Discussion

Iran Nuclear Debate and Presidential Assassination Prediction

The show concludes with a debate between Dr. Colin Kahl and Dr. Matthew Kroenig regarding military action against Iran. Kroenig argues that a strike is the "least bad option," while Kahl warns against "worst-case assumptions" and advocates for diplomacy. Adam Curry ends the episode with a "Red Book" prediction of an attempt on the President's life within four weeks.

iran· nuclear weapons· colin kahl· matthew kroenig· assassination

2:37:40 You ever see those? No! The spinning hippie. Go to Woodstock, you'd see it. They're always wearing the real blousey like sleeves that are hanging and they be spinnin' and spinnin'. No but clearly we need to medicate that bitch. Hell yeah. I think she was medicated at the time. Alright, tell us about our end of show clip we're gonna play today. Here's the two guys from Georgetown University that are apparently do a roadshow This is the one guy we had last week who just thinks he actually recommends that we bomb Iran now right? That guy am I for my buddy and his nemesis who thinks we were nuts to even think about it

2:38:22 And the Nemesis has got more on the ball, it seems to me. He also seems senior and he looks exactly like a central casting version of a CIA analyst and he has a, and he's kind of fast talker too. And so they two have this... This is the end of long debate that was on CNN and they were summarizing I cut off the first guy summary little bit but you hear the end of it then other guy wraps it up with couple minutes discussion what he thinks should be going on with Iran Alright Red Book prediction hate to make this one but I have bad feeling I think there will be attempt on President's life in next four weeks

2:39:06 No response, John? That's it. Well I mean as a... It would bring some interesting conversation into play. Pfft! No kidding Alright everybody, we'll be back on Thursday. Reminder special program Sir Paul and Sir Jimmy the book guy show tonight 9 p.m Eastern with special guests from Twit Tom Merritt and Veronica Belmont will you be on the tweeters today John? No I will not! Have you been not been invited? I was not invited unceremoniously So you can catch that at 9pm Eastern on NoahJendisStream.com make sure you check that out in hop into chat room and talk with the guys

2:39:42 And, uh... well we'll be on the case! On the stick throughout the next couple of days. Doing everything that you need us to do so you don't have too Coming to you from the capital of the Drone Star State Also known as Austin Texas In the morning everybody, I'm Adam Curry. It's always in the morning! I am John C. Dvorak here from Northern Silicon Valley see you again on Thursday. Alright and remember dvorak dot org slash NA See ya on Thursday everybody right here On NO Agenda You wanna slide whistle us out buddy? I can do that by swan whistling.

2:40:35 That brought tears to my eyes. kind of had their head in the sand, I think. Putting all their eggs in the sanctions and diplomacy basket. And as I said before, I'd be absolutely delighted if we can solve this through diplomacy but I'm afraid that we can't and I'm afraid that at some point soon uh...we're going to have to make this tough choice between

2:41:17 acquiescing to a nuclear-armed Iran or taking military action. And I was afraid that we were going to end up in a situation where we woke up one morning and Iran had nuclear weapons, uh, it's the situation that would be very threatening to U.S. national security without having had this discussion. So I'm delighted simply to have the discussion You know, Colin pointed out that there are risks to a strike. I agree with that and Colin pointed out that we have some time for diplomacy. I agree with that. I think we have less time than Colin thinks. I think the risks of a strike are less grave than Colin does but given the grave threat of nuclear armed Iran nothing Colin said tonight has leads me back away from my conclusion if were faced with this difficult choice strike is the least bad option. Thank you.

2:42:09 the tone of and the assumptions that one brings into this issue are really important. And I think ultimately, Matt and I have now done this like four or five times it's like Barnum & Bailey going from city to city doing this thing The problem I ultimately have is my discomfort comes from On the one hand, I'm nervous about adopting worst-case assumptions about the implications of a nuclear Iran when I think that the argument is more complicated and nuanced than just it's the end of world if Iran develops nuclear weapons. I think it's really bad – not as bad as some argue.

2:42:46 But nevertheless, we have to be cautious about worst case assumptions. Why? Because in the lead up to the war in Iraq in 2003 a war that cost 4500 Americans their lives 33000 wounded more than 100 000 Iraqi dead millions of refugees $1 trillion and growing We adopted worst-case assumptions about a phantom menace Alright so we gotta be careful not to do that again The second thing is I think we need to be very careful about having worst case assumptions about the prospects for diplomacy because it can vary. We can very easily talk ourselves into saying that's it

2:43:22 That's the last straw. That meeting didn't go well, that's it now it is time for military action and I don't think Matt saying that but a lot of people who pick up on Matts arguments and wheeled them about in this town, in Congress, on some talk shows and others do make that argument they are basically waiting looking for any sign sanctions or diplomacy have failed not because they want to succeed but because they want war we have to be careful about And then lastly, we have to be very careful about adopting best-case assumptions about how the war will go and what the aftermath will be like. Because all we know about wars... I've been involved in Pentagon stuff for a long time now and there's that old cliche in the Pentagon that no plan survives first contact with the enemy. It just doesn't. The world will not go according to the way Matt proposed it won't go the way that I said it would. It'll go on some uncertain trajectory

2:44:19 But in a region that is extraordinarily unstable, where there's already extraordinary uncertainty in a global economy that just now pulling out of the Great Recession. It's time to be cautious and to not fall prey to best case assumptions about how easily the war will go, how much time it will buy, how easy it will be to bottle up Iran on the aftermath So, reject the worst case assumptions. Be equally skeptical about the best case assumptions as it relates to war. The good news is I'm just not as pessimistic about diplomacy at the end of day, I think, as Matt is. I don't think there's going to be a breakthrough in the coming months but the Iranians are really hurting. The regime is hurting. I think the Supreme Leader has made certain moves inside his government to give him some freedom of action to dial back the tension a little bit

2:45:11 So we'll have to see in the coming months whether he's willing to dial back some of the nuclear activities that are driving the Israeli strike clock to be spinning as quickly as it is. And let's see if we can buy, you know it's not just the Iranians who want to buy time We all need to buy time! to buy time over the next year or two, or so, to reach a final resolution to this issue.
