Don't Be Nosey

00:00 Hey, you with the slide whistle, get in the camp! Adam Curry, John C. DeVora. Hits Thursday, June 28, 2012. Time for your Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 421. This is no agenda. Avoiding the lethal munchies here at Camp MoFo in the capital of the drone star state. It's Austin Tejas in the morning everybody. I'm Adam Curry. And from northern Silicon Valley where CNN tells me that the Obamacare was struck down. I'm John C. Dvorak. Well, they said it was struck down. Then they said it was struck up. Well, I guess they made a mistake. It's because no one really understands the 90 pages. That's why. No, it's because they had the story ready to roll. You know, because they pre-write, you know, the people don't realize it. In fact, they have your obituary ready.

00:58 Yeah, everybody's obituaries ready days in advance, especially once you get past a certain age. Yeah, you know mine They don't care about but you know the president the vice president Everybody Nora at front especially celebrities all the celebrities are you bet that Lindsay Lohan's obituary? I've written two or three times. Oh, yeah, so somebody hits you hits the big red button and the story goes yep, and Yeah, so I can't even have an opinion until I've read the documents, but of course I had no time this morning. Because, you know, how can you distill 90 pages of opinion in like three seconds? It's so funny, I was watching in the background, I had some of the footage on of, you know, different news networks and you see all these news hounds, you know, tripping down the steps of the Supreme Court to get to their desk to analyze. I'm like, you know, it's going to take a little bit more than that. But what I understand

01:54 just from the disinformation that's been given to me and I'm sure it'll be, we'll really find out. I mean, you know, I love this stuff, right? Government legislation analyst. I can't wait to read. I mean, that to me is porn. Like 90 pages. That's, oh my God, that's better than 50. Uh, what I, what I think they're saying about the mandate, which is the main, I guess the, one of the main things here is that it's okay if it's a tax, but not if it's a, uh, a forced thing for which you can go to jail, which I think is kind of the same thing. If you don't pay your taxes, you go to jail. Yeah, no, I think that was my understanding is that Roberts, who switched sides on this thing, said, you know, he just redefined it. He says, this is a tax. That was actually the one thing that they kept. Remember, we had those clips and we were laughing about it because the lawyer

02:46 arguing for the upholding this is constitutional kept saying tax tax tax and then I'm not sure maybe it was Robert who said hey you keep saying it's a tax but it's not supposed to be attacked. Remember this was the whole thing that it was kind of hidden there. that it was like, well, it's not attacks, but the IRS are the ones who are going to... Right, it proves it's a tax. Yeah. So and we kind of called... Let me see if I can find that. Let me see if I go to search.nashownotes.com. The IRS aspect of this has been overlooked in the argument. But Obama just wants to say it's not a tax, so he's, you know, because he says, no, I'm not going to raise taxes on the public. And so he says, well, no, this isn't a tax. It's a it's something else. And then this is a fee and this is a surcharge and this is this and that. And it's just still taxes. Right. But then, you know, I was actually watching CNBC more and it looks like stocks went down on all the insurance companies.

03:47 Those are the guys who actually... I don't see why. Well, because they probably have real analysts. They're looking at real news. Let me see what the... Look at the stock market. Yeah, that was kind of interesting. I mean, that's where you, you know, that's just follow the money if you want the truth. It was down a complete percent, but that doesn't mean anything. It happens for... I guess for reasons. And who's on Buffett now? Anyway, well we'll have more on that on Sunday. John, it's so chilly here in Austin. It's only 104. I don't know what to do with myself. You haven't been through a Texas summer. I don't know what to do with myself. It's like, honey, it's 104. Grab the blankets. You know, it's not really a hot... I mean, it's a... You can live with it. For some reason, Texas temperatures... It's not that bad, no. It's a dry heat. The only problem is the stupid effing Range Rover

04:40 You know it's made for British climate, and so you know if you're just overheating no no no We took care of that after the catastrophic water pump failure But everything in the Range Rover and this one was in 1999 and they were already doing all this electronics crap Oh, yeah, you hear people with new Range Rovers these days. You know the chair stop working all kinds I'm gonna hate these cars although it was a nice cruiser coming over from California when it runs it runs great and But the air conditioning decides and I think it's because it's all based on this Relays and actually upgraded the relay box, you know, so they don't melt away when it's really hot out. The air conditioner doesn't work Yeah, it's kind of stupid. It's like exactly what you don't want to happen and miss Mickey, you know, she sits in traffic she travels at weird times and she drives a lot actually and

05:31 And she panics and understandably so. If you're in the car and all of a sudden it's like, hey, what do I feel? And then the little book light comes on, which means you have to hook it up to a computer or something's broken. And then it becomes 104 in the car and you're in traffic and you can't get off the road. It's a little scary. It's a little angsty, to say the least. So anyway, I don't know what to do. It's just a stupid car. Bring ice. I told her don't drive, just stay home. A cooler in the backseat and have ice in there. I said for now, I said just don't drive, just stay home with me. Take care of me. That's all you need to do. Well, you know, don't worry about it because it'll probably, this 100 plus degrees in that part of the country, it only goes on for about two or three months, so it's not anything to be too concerned about. It's going to end. And we have a nice little break because we're about two weeks away from our trip

06:27 for the wedding and the party in Amsterdam. And then when we come back, you know, we pretty much want to go into the fires of Colorado on the Hot Pockets 2009 tour. Although we still don't have a trailer for the trip. I love how people keep sending me emails like, hey, trailer for Hot Pockets, you know, like, oh, cool. And I immediately go look. And they have, it's like a joke email. It's like, Hey, you could get this little teardrop thing for only four grand. You know, like the trailer. I love that teardrop thing. You can build it yourself. Yeah. Well, we know, we know our producers in Ohio built one, but it's not really what we're looking for. It's not what we're trying to accomplish. So we really need a trailer. Otherwise, you know, maybe people don't want to see us. Maybe they don't care.

07:26 I don't know. Maybe not that many of our listeners are into RVing because they're the ones who don't listen to us. We don't want an RV. That's the whole thing. We don't want an RV. We want a trailer. There's plenty of trailers out there. Just need one in Texas. Anyway, I'm going to start propagating the news this Friday, 8 p.m. here in Austin, Texas in what's the name of there's a bar in the W Hotel. What's the name of it? Hold on a second. The bar in the W. It has a name. We're gonna do a meetup. So anyone who's in the area if you want to come by and have a- Douchebags! That's the name. No, it's not. The W- Actually, the W here is not douchebaggery. Interestingly enough. Well, that's a first. No, it is. People are- they're really nice actually, I have to say. Let me see. The name of it is Trace. Tango- What? Trace. Tango, Romeo, Alpha, Sierra, Echo. Trace? Trace.

08:30 What is that? What's the meaning of this? I have no idea. I have no idea. But it's a cool little bar and you can... You're going to have a meet up in Austin? Yeah. Yeah. Maybe we spread the word that we need a trailer. You know, like, well, it turns out there's like a guy from Holland is in town, Todd Cochran, you know, the guy who runs Blueberry, Blueberry, Blueberry Networks. No. Yeah, he's from Hawaii. He's in Austin and he's like, hey, you know, the day that drinks and you know, and we don't, we don't want, we don't, we don't want to leave the house. We don't want to go anywhere. We got better things to do. Like having sex without you people around. It's like, well, if there's two guys in town, why don't we just do a meetup? I love Ms. Mickey. She's like, yeah, great. Let's do a meetup. So there you go. Meetup. A meetup. A meetup. On Twitter, you'd be also a meetup and a tweet up. A tweet up.

09:23 It's for meetup. I tweeted it last night. I don't think I don't think maybe it was too late for people to see in the morning Bobby Eden She seems to be listening Sorry Bobby Eden official porn star of the show Bobby yeah, Bobby and she's checking in anyway big news I think we called it once again a surprising toxicology report in that gruesome case of cannibalism in Florida the report shows that Marijuana was the only drug found in Rudy Eugene's body He's the man who shot and was shot and killed by police as he chewed off the face of another man to it all

08:30 What is that? What's the meaning of this? I have no idea. I have no idea. But it's a cool little bar and you can... You're going to have a meet up in Austin? Yeah. Yeah. Maybe we spread the word that we need a trailer. You know, like, well, it turns out there's like a guy from Holland is in town, Todd Cochran, you know, the guy who runs Blueberry, Blueberry, Blueberry Networks. No. Yeah, he's from Hawaii. He's in Austin and he's like, hey, you know, the day that drinks and you know, and we don't, we don't want, we don't, we don't want to leave the house. We don't want to go anywhere. We got better things to do. Like having sex without you people around. It's like, well, if there's two guys in town, why don't we just do a meetup? I love Ms. Mickey. She's like, yeah, great. Let's do a meetup. So there you go. Meetup. A meetup. A meetup. On Twitter, you'd be also a meetup and a tweet up. A tweet up.

09:23 It's for meetup. I tweeted it last night. I don't think I don't think maybe it was too late for people to see in the morning Bobby Eden She seems to be listening Sorry Bobby Eden official porn star of the show Bobby yeah, Bobby and she's checking in anyway big news I think we called it once again a surprising toxicology report in that gruesome case of cannibalism in Florida the report shows that Marijuana was the only drug found in Rudy Eugene's body He's the man who shot and was shot and killed by police as he chewed off the face of another man to it all

09:59 The attack was caught on a security camera, had raised speculation that Eugene may have been high on a drug called bath salts. But today's report ruled that out and also ruled out alcohol and prescription drugs. Eugene's victim Ronald Pappo is recovering and the reason that he did that gruesome act now is still very much unknown. Wow, I can't believe it. All the news media were wrong. How is it possible? They were so sure bath salts, bath salts, bath salts. Let's talk about bath salts. Oh, it's even better. It's weed. Sure. Sure. Listen, I can claim to be an expert on weed. And, you know, I've heard of the... I've heard you get the munchies on weed. Yeah, the munchies. But this is ridiculous.

10:42 Maybe the guy had jam on his face. And she still has to say... How about this, the guy was down and out anyway, so he probably just ate a peanut butter sandwich. Like, let me have that peanut butter sandwich. Jelly sandwich, and the guy smelled it, and that was the end. Well, no, but there's more. Now we have in Waco, Texas, report, 22-year-old man was arrested Monday after a bizarre episode in which police claim he tried to eat his family's dog in a zombie-style attack, and he was growling at his neighbor. Now, it's just so obvious that this is PR for all the zombie movies coming out. But at the same time, you know, I think that we've, it'll happen. We'll find it, you know, it's going to show up any day now that the government is going to sell legal weed and they're going to take care of it. And all this, all the homegrown stuff is going to be no good. It's kind of, you know, just look at the supplements, right? Dietary supplements.

11:38 your basic vitamin C, it's being outlawed. Why? Because you got to get the stuff from the government. You got to get it all from the government. So we'll get weed for sure. It's just we're going to be getting it from Uncle Sam. His version, which will be expensive and regulated. There's something else. This is, I mean, the pharma industry is just going crazy. Don Lemon, the guy we love to hate. Here's his report. Alright, so listen, I really want you to sit down. Are you sitting down? He really wants you to sit down. Are you sitting down? I'm sitting down! Take a seat and listen to this. It could save someone's life. Oh, it could save someone's life. You know or love, it is no longer hiding in the shadows of seedy downtown alleyways. Heroin has a new home. Heroin has a new home, bitches! Come on in, neighbor!

12:40 Bringing its highly addictive, oftentimes deadly power to the white picket tree line streets of suburbia. Here are just some facts for you folks. The average age that kids start using heroin just before their 15th birthday and most of them are white. And more of them prefer to shoot it up than taking it any other way. Now, why is this happening, John? Do you have any idea why we have the power of heroin taking over our white picket fence line streets? Huh, I didn't know this was going on. Do you have any idea why this is happening?

13:16 I mean the real reason would be they got to move some of the product that they're making out of Afghanistan. Well yeah and how do you make one drug more, one product more attractive than the other? You popularize it. Yes and? Well go on tell me. Free market? I'm sorry hold on a second. I got the world's largest garbage truck going past the house. I couldn't hear a word you said. It's all about pricing Joe. It's all about the pricing. Check it out. Why the increase here? It's cheaper than pills. Drug agents say the crackdown on oxycodone and other pain pills have made pills way more expensive for users. Trying to balance out the market. Exactly. And we know we have a great crop this year in Pakistan. We've got all of our troops protecting the field. So they're, so you know, it's cheap. It's cheap. Just bring it on in.

14:14 And it's a, you know, and of course the pharmaceutical industry is seeing this and they're like, well, you know, we just got to jump on this one. But ABC, the compromise news organization, they had pretty much the best. commercial I've ever seen for pills. This was fantastic. Revealing how far they'll go to have it all. Mothers and wives juggling all the demands of work and home with a pill that's being called mother's new little helper. It has been exploding in popularity among women in their 20s and 30s. In just eight years, the number of prescriptions is up 750%. It's a bonanza! What could it be?

14:56 But as ABC's Dan Harris reports, using that pill may carry a high price. May. Not necessarily, because we're ABC. You know, we've got the pharmaceutical industry paying for this report, so it may. But listen to all the benefits, bitches. They are moms in the shadows all over America, drowning in their daily responsibilities. I'm a single mom of three. We received a wave of anonymous voicemails and emails from a hidden underworld of mothers who have found what they say is a secret way to do it all. I love the hidden underworld of mothers.

15:36 Can I get in that club? With the help of Adderall's mom, AJ. And I do have to take Adderall. Adderall. And these women don't have ADHD. They say they need Adderall simply to be better mothers. Now this is a... Oh, that's terrible. This is what, of course, I discovered when I tried one of these. I mean, I've never done anything other than weed and I've had a Vicodin. After the dentist I took an aspirin once, a Tylenol, let me think, a vitamin C, and I've also taken a vitamin B once, only once, and then I also took a pill, somebody gave me at a bar. Dude, once I OD'd on D. I OD'd.

16:25 But you know, so once I took one of these, uh, one of these pills and, uh, we talked about it on the show. I was tripping out for like six hours. I'm like, this must be what was riddling. You took no, no, no. It was Adderall. No, it was Vyvanse. It was, it's all the same thing. I was tripping out for like for six hours and I was like if that's the pill and I was tripping out man. I was totally wired dude. We persuaded one of these moms to step out of the shadows her name Bessie Degree from... Oh by the way chat room chat Shut up! We don't talk about Supreme Court decision before we've read the fricking decision. Go watch CNN. Go away. Suburban Minneapolis. I grew up in a house where my mom was very neat and everything was really clean and beautiful dinners every night and that didn't come naturally for me. No, I needed some coke!

17:16 Several years ago one of Betsy's children was prescribed Adderall for ADHD and no question in a moment of desperation She stole a pill from her own child, and she said it worked I was able to work all the stuff done around the house I was able to but here comes the commercial. This is the interesting part of this report. You know commercial what It's already a commercial. She took the pill, she got all this work done. Wait, it gets better. And have everything perfect. Did it make you feel like supermodel? It did. Woohoo! You said that you would go from eight undoable loads of laundry to... Getting it out, staying up till 3am. I'm already there, baby. Getting it all done. She says she thought she'd only take it once.

18:01 I couldn't stop. I could not stop taking them. I would just be like, okay, I'm just gonna do it one more time. When she ran out, she had to trick the family doctor into writing more prescriptions. I would call and say we lost them. I would, uh... This is the guide. Call and say that dose isn't right. You were trying every trick in the book. Every trick in the book. In fact, this need for trickery has given rise to a whole online ecosystem. Check this out. If you go to Yahoo and type in the words, Are you following along, moms? How do I get my doctor to prescribe Adderall? You will literally get tens of millions of results. Joni Gamble, a registered nurse, started taking Adderall after finding a book that told her how to lie to her doctor. It's on Amazon. To get the drug. It's on my Kindle. Your life becomes a squirrel just looking for that nut. What a commercial.

18:57 By the way, I interviewed the most ADHD guy in the world yesterday for the big book show. Yeah, Joe Panteliano. You know who he is? No. He's a very famous actor. He was Cypher in the Matrix. He had a bald head, beard. I'd probably recognize him if I saw him. Oh yeah. So he wrote this book called Asylum and it's all about his ADHD and his acting career. I can't wait to get it. I gotta edit that. Was he zoned out when he was talking to you? He was completely ADHD. It was hilarious. So he was bored stiff? No, he was just jumping from left to right. It was the wackiest interview I've ever done. He was in the Sopranos. Guys, Joey Pants. Now I have to see what he looks like. What's his name again? Pantaleon. Pantaleon? Yeah, that's Italian for pants. Pantaleon. Joe Pantaleon. Joe? Joe. Joe. Joe Pantaleon. Oh, that guy! Yeah, that guy.

20:01 Yeah, yeah, he's famous. Yeah, it was great. And he's the guy who said who are Oh, yeah. And it's just a whore. So he wasn't on Skype. And you know, and then my buddy in LA who books all this stuff, he gives me his home number. So I call him up. And he's like, hey Adam, yeah. He's like, you know, I can't, this internet is, I don't, you know, he's 60. I can't hook it up. But he's like, and I got rid of cable, I hated the evil crap. You know, I only got internet here and then now it doesn't work and my iPad and I'm so confused. And then he's calling his daughter, he said, Melody, Melody, Melody, get over here or I'll break your legs. I'm like, I'm living this guy's life, it's hilarious. Took an hour and a half to get him up and running.

29:45 Shut up, Slade! From April, the United Nations is public this year's forecast for the Afghan opium crop and the news is not good. Despite all the efforts to reduce cultivation, it looks likely to rise again. How can it be? I don't understand. What a coincidence! You put all of those troops near the fields and they just grow and grow and grow. I don't get it. How is it possible? I mean, you don't think this would be shipped in on an army aircraft or anything, do you, John? That couldn't be possible. The peak is still lower. It's still lower than the absolute peak, which is 2007. So we should look into what was going on in 2007. That was Bush's last year retirement fund. Hey, let's kick it off here with another installment of We Suck.

30:54 Are we going to go back to the soccer games? No, we suck. We're going to get that in a second. So on the previous episode, a lot of people picked up on this. We need a jingle for we suck. Someone will check it out. This is the mea culpa. Every news organization does this, of course. New York Times has to do it all the time and CNN had to do it this morning when they wrongly reported that the Supreme Court struck down Obamacare. But we're actually proud of it. Yeah, why not? Yeah, we're proud because, you know, it shows you that people are actually paying attention. So we played a clip, let me see if I can bring up this clip here, of Kofi Annan. And you thought, and I agreed with you, that he was talking about sovereign population. It is time for countries of influence to raise a level of pressure on the parties on the ground and to persuade them that it is in their interest to stop the killing and start talking.

31:53 When I briefed the Security Council last time, actually earlier this month, I said as we move forward, we should keep our goals firmly in view. To stop the killing, help the suffering population. Right. A lot of people said, hey, he didn't say sovereign population, he said suffering population. What? Yeah. And I went back and I've listened to it four times now and I think they're right. I think it's suffering population, not sovereign. You want to hear it again? Just that little bit there. Yeah. We should keep our goals firmly in view. To stop the killing, help the suffering population. Suffering. Suffering? Yeah, it's just the way he talks. Suffering suck-a-dash. Yeah, that was the comment I got a lot. So, um, we suck. Oh, well I still like the term. I think, yeah, we just keep, we're just gonna use it.

32:50 Sovereign population now kind of in the in the we suck category or specifically I suck and this just this just goes to show how little we know about professional sports certainly their foosball in this case because I was saying, you know, it's gonna be Germany against Italy that technically is not even possible because because they're in the same group as And so you made a blunder. Well the way it turns out they actually are playing today And this is for the semi-finals yesterday. We had Portugal against Spain right and And I just want to point out for people who are new to the program for euro 2012 We know you have a crap about the game we just want to we believe that the all these professional sports are rigged and in the past

33:39 It has always been the country that needed the biggest boost economically and culturally and psychologically would be the winner. And we've been very accurate in calling this. Now this year it's interesting in Europe because all the money is in Germany. Ms. Miki who's joined in on this. Believes that Germany will win just to prove the point and you know and to start world war boss Yeah, and by the way, do you notice that the pigs are all in the final four? So we've got if you substitute Ireland for Italy, it's Portugal These were the five for Germany. No portrait PIGs Portugal Italy Germany Spain Greece is G

34:22 It's over no matter what. Because we know now that Italy is teetering on the brink They need, and they're the seventh largest economy in the world, so if they go then the whole world goes down. So today, Greece against Italy, or Germany against Italy, it doesn't matter who wins, because if Greece loses today, then we have Spain versus Italy in the finals. So either one of those countries is going to be very unhappy.

35:03 If Germany wins and they beat either Italy or Spain, the world's going to... No, no, hold on a second. Germany versus Italy, so that match is going to pit one of those two against Spain. Right. But if Germany loses and you get Italy versus Spain, Then it doesn't matter either because whoever loses is going to bring, imagine the Spaniards when they lose, they're going to freak out. I'm telling you, I've said it all along, Spain's going to win the whole thing again. No. No. I'm still going- So you're still sticking with Italy? You're sticking with Spain, I'm with Italy, Miss Mickey's with Germany. She's the nihilist and this is the funny thing. Well no, she's got the most cynical perspective on this. That's what's funny! You know her, this is not Mickey. She's always like- I think you've corrupted the woman. You think? Yeah, well it's about time. Anyway, there's a funny report in Spiegel Online. It's about if the Germans win today,

36:04 The finals is going to be held in Kiev and it'll be very uncomfortable for Angela Merkel to go there knowing of course that Yulia Tymoshenko is still in jail. So politically it would be very bad for her to show up there. Oh, okay, well then the Germans have to lose that match. See what I'm saying? So I think it's Italy, you think it's Spain. I think we're going to see the battle of the bozos, Italy versus Spain. And by the way, Ronaldo, I mean, it was so obvious this was rigged. So you have this game, Portugal versus Spain, and they play and they play. Did you see those shots Ronaldo was taking? He missed him!

36:42 They were up by a mile. But then at the end... I thought these guys were good. It wasn't like anyone was hanging off of his back, punching him in the head. My grandmother could have made that shot, I tell ya. But at the end, they go into the penalty kicks. The coach doesn't even put Ronaldo in there, come on. Yeah, what was that all about? Rigs. It's rigged. And then there was a confusion. One guy wanted to go and then the other guy showed up and it's like, what? That was a total psych job. Now, it's so obviously rigged. Well, people always get into huge art. Don't email me. I'm not going to reply. So anyway, I'm excited. People should face the reality of these things being rigged. I'm excited. I'm excited about it. So Germany can't win. We see that now because, you know, can you imagine Merkel going to Kiev? That's not that's politically bad.

37:37 And I just think Italy is the one, you know. We had Mario Monti come out and say, if we don't get Euro bonds, I'm going to quit. I'm going to take my bucket and go home. I don't think, I think it's going to have to be Spain again. They're the ones that have got the teetering on the brink of civil war. But in the rest of Euro land, it's beautiful. We've got great stuff going on. Here's a report Baron von Pelsmacher sent me. He sends his regards, by the way. Headline in the Belgian newspaper, It's better living in Ethiopia than in Belgium. Wow. According to the Happy Planet Index, the British New Economics Foundation has determined that the standard of living in Ethiopia is better than Belgium. This is bull crap. There's a bunch of stories about just basically murdering people in Ethiopia.

38:40 Let's see. The opiates now, who comes up with this stuff and why? What was the point? To make, well to suppress, to make the slaves even more depressed, to sell Adderall, I don't know. But the one that got me, this was a great report. It is so bad in the EU that these are the reports on the BBC. Baby crib, the sign says, pointing the way to a journey no mother wants to take. In a Berlin suburb, there's a path for desperate mothers, unable to cope with their newborn babies. This is the baby box. Inside, warmth and comfort. And in this specialist unit, a new life with adoption.

39:22 Baby hatches aren't a new idea Medieval cathedrals like this one in Italy had windows specially built so mothers could pass their babies through for adoption Foundling wheels they were called now. They're making a comeback. They're making a comeback the baby box It's literally it's like a little oven And you just, you know, it's like you get the kid and like, oh, we can't afford this. I'm sorry, honey. It's all right. I'll take it to the baby box. Put it in the baby box, which apparently is not new. No, it's pretty. Sounds like a European standard practice. Oh my goodness. There goes the donations. Yeah, right. Well, talking about lousy donations.

40:09 You know, I figured one of our, I don't want to, you know, one of the things about marketing you always want to do is you don't want to target a loser. A lot of people have a couple products and one's selling like hotcakes and one's not selling, but for some reason the CEO or the head or something, they think it should be selling. So they put all their resources on the dog. And I've seen this happen in publishing quite a bit. It's a very bad idea because you wind up spending. A publishing company will have a cash cow making tons of money and then they start draining the cash cow to put it towards other projects that are dogs. In my memoirs I'll name names on that particular thing.

40:44 So I figured I don't want to put a lot of effort in trying to get donors from India. Wait a minute, you're not actually trying that are you? So, but I'm gonna do, I think we should, one thing we never tried to do with India which is do real news. Oh, you mean real India, okay, hold on a second. Enough with the real news! There's a couple of, there's this hot woman, I can't remember her first name, Chopra is her last name. Kapoor. She's absolutely gorgeous. She's a little glib, typical of an Indian actress. And this guy Kapoor, who I guess she was dating or something, now they've just done a movie together where it's all about

41:29 reincarnation they had all these you know they were lovers in different eras and here's the Bollywood news report right from the from one of the Indian TV stations. In Tech Hub Bangalore the duo shared their expectations from the film which opened to warm response at the box office. Jopra who was rumored to be dating Kapoor sometime back said she could not get a better film to make a comeback with a co-star. I'm glad it was with Teri Meri Kani, I'm glad it was with Shahid because I've always admired him tremendously as an actor and it's always great to work with somebody who gives you that kind of competitive space in a scene that you feel like you can do better work because they're doing such great work. So yeah, it's great to be back doing a love story. I've not done a love story in a really long time.

42:19 What a great plot. So I figure this is very similar to the one time we were doing rundowns of sumo wrestling. How'd that work out for us? To get some new audience members. And I'm hoping that the Indians that listen to this show respond positively with donations. I think her name is Priyanka. That's the one you're talking about. Priyanka Chopra? Yeah. She is gorgeous. Isn't she? Yeah, let me just see. Does she have a hike listed on her wiki page?

43:14 Of course not. No, I wouldn't expect it. She is very, very pretty. Oh yes, height 5'7". Hey, hey. Why doesn't everybody have their height listed? I don't know. 5'7". What's your height? 5'17". So somebody should put that in the, uh, in your wiki page. I'm 6'1". They should put that on my wiki page. No, you're 5'13". That's funnier, man. Yeah, it's hilarious. Yeah. Well, whenever I say it, it's be, how tall are you anyway, man? 5'17", they go, uh, Because they can't figure it out idiots so we're on the real real no no no please don't hurt me anymore you can't Okay, I'll do it later. All right. Thank you. In fact. I tell you what instead of doing it I have this clip that would be great for the end of the show I'll explain about I was set it up later the Abramoff clip. Yeah. Yeah good because that ties right into some of the stuff I've been researching I don't want to do that just yet though. Let me see what is that? Here's you know so with all this

44:21 All this bullcrap news going on and of course we today we have the the contempt of congress vote against uh attorney general eric holder here in the united states of gitmo nation uh which probably will not get a lot of play because of the health care ruling and by the way you know what is a contempt of congress like don't do that anymore you know you're not going to go to jail Yeah, no, there was an executive order that came out. Technically they could go to jail, but they don't. They're not going to. The president released an executive order, executive order number 13085 for blocking property of the government of the Russian Federation relating to the disposition of highly enriched uranium extracted from nuclear weapons. And so this is one of those things where we steal their money. And it's and by the way, this is a national

45:17 Emergency has been declared and I haven't heard anyone talk about this at all. Just kind of popped up on think it was a Yesterday or end of day Tuesday? And what the president is saying here or what someone wrote for him is this is concerning the rest of the Russian Federation concerning the disposition of highly enriched uranium extracted from nuclear weapons. This is an agreement we have with the Russians going back to 1993 known as the HEU agreements. The HEU agreements provide for the conversion of approximately 500 metric tons of highly enriched uranium contained in Russian nuclear weapons into low enriched uranium for use as fuel in commercial nuclear reactors.

46:05 In furtherance of our national security goals, all heads of the department and agencies of the United States government shall continue to take all appropriate measures within their authority to further the full implementation of the H.E.U. agreements. But apparently the Russians are not doing this. And I think that there's some worry that they are taking this highly enriched uranium and probably going to supply it to Iran. I guess that's what this is about, because it is seen as a here I hear the Russian Federation continues to constitute an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States and I hereby declare a national emergency to deal with that threat. I think a national emergency is newsworthy. Yeah, I'd say so. It would be top of the news if you asked me. But it's not a peep. And so basically any money that is in the US which might be related to the high enriched uranium

47:08 Projects of the government of the Russian Federation is hereby frozen. Secretary of the Treasury can block payments, take away your money and put your baby in the baby box. I don't know. It's a, there's definitely stuff going on with Russia that is not being covered. And I think it must be related to Iran. Oh yeah. Well, yeah, probably. Are you eating something? A hard candy. Okay. I'm just doing it from my throat so I don't start coughing. Okay, yeah, I had a little bout of that myself. A lot of follow-up from banking sysadmins who are producers of this program. Actually a varying range of answers to the big NatWest, Royal Bank of Scotland problem where now we're a week on.

48:11 And they still are having some issues with people getting their money or doing certain transactions. Here's the douche, the spokesman, actually I think he's the CEO of the Royal Bank of Scotland. In simple terms, there was a software change which didn't go right. And although that itself was put right quickly, there then was a big backlog of things that had to be reprocessed in sequence and that got on top of our technical teams, which is why on Thursday and Friday customers experienced difficulty, which we're well on the way to fixing, but we'll still have some tail. Now, the explanation he's giving

48:50 It's consistent with what I saw and I had a company we did some work for the banking sector in the mid 90s. You know, this is what this is like. Well, literally, we had Windows 95. This doesn't give you any idea of how long ago this was in technical terms. Right. And there were big legacy systems. And we had something, batch processes that would run overnight or something called settlement. And these systems would be crunching all these numbers, make sure all the accounts, everything was straightened out, not just internally but with other banks. But that was 1995 and I've got some sysadmins saying, yeah, no, this is what happens and then if something goes wrong, then it starts to back up and then it gets, well, this is exactly, listen to the theory that this president is saying.

49:36 Broadly what happened and it's like I don't know the landing path that he throw or something once you get out of sequence It takes a time to get back into sequence even if the original fault is put right now But you know even he throw just shakes that out in 24 hours, so they're still not completely stable and I but I've gotten also some other some other emails from some of our banking sysadmins and say that you know that's total bullcrap. First of all this happened on a Tuesday afternoon. Who doesn't upgrade on a Tuesday afternoon? Yeah really. That's like all the upgrades are done over the weekend usually Saturday or Sunday night. Yeah. Did you just go all helium on me? No did I?

50:20 No, you didn't. No, don't worry about it. Not at all. Okay. Hey everybody, this is John C. Dvorak on Helium. We haven't done this in a while. This is Skype at work. I love it. Perfect. High technology doing its thing. Do a jingle for us. Uh, uh, no. Shut up, slave. Do it again. It cut out. No. Shut up, slave. Anyway, so this is- Like, am I still sounding like this or did I die? No, no, you're fine. Don't worry about it. Should I reboot? No, just keep it as it is. I love it. It's ridiculous if it sounds like what you think. It sounds perfect. This is the way- Keep to you. This is the way it should always be. This makes so much sense to me. Beep beep beep beep beep. Yeah, I'll call you back. We'll fix that. That was pretty funny. Hello? Is it sound okay now? Yeah, perfect.

51:29 Anyway, so, uh, you know, so I think some more modern, uh, banks, this admins check this and no, no, no. You know, we have gold star systems. You have a system in a data center that writes all the data live to disc then D stage to tape. Those individual components are all duplicated to remain resilient to failure. Data is also being written in real time to another data center elsewhere in the country, connected by huge bandwidth, dedicated fiber links says it just does not seem possible. Ooh. Why'd you hang up? Huh. Don't hang up. Good. No, now it's even worse. Now you're AMing on me. Hey there? Okay, I think so. Hello? John! John! Hey! Holy moly. We haven't had this problem for a while. What's going on? I have regular bandwidth. It's not on my end, I don't think. Hello? I can't hear you. Hello? Yeah, something's wrong on your end, man. Can you hear me? Wow. Hello? I know what we'll do.

52:58 There's one way to get him. We'll play the slide whistle. Told you it would work. You there? Wow. How long has it been since we've had this problem? There you go. Can you hear me, John C. DeBoer? Yeah, I haven't unhooked anything. Can you hear me? He's helium again. Testing. That's good. Hello? Hello? Shane, if you can hear me. I can hear you. Me turn off Skype.

53:52 I'm gonna pause the recording for a moment. You sound awesome by the way. I'm sure I do. So maybe you have to reboot your router or something because it's uh you got a real problem. Yeah that's a thought. Okay let's take a break. Okay let's take a break. Say we'll be right back folks. We'll be right back folks. You missed an amazing little intermezzo there. Yes I was busy. And I didn't record it for the show that was a It's a Noah Jinders stream exclusive. I jammed with Ringo Starr. Was he there? Yes, Ringo. Ringo was here. He did stay. You're 16, you're beautiful in your mind, and I played along on my slide whistle. Okay, so you're back. We were talking about the banking. This basically is... Are you still there? Yeah. This really feels like a bunch of bull crap.

54:56 But there's more, there's more things going on that's really weird in the financial sector. For instance, more and more you're seeing, and I don't know if this is a function of the merchants or the banks, but you're seeing ATMs not working. I've had this happen even in Austin. The credit card swipers aren't working. I think there's two things. One, I really believe there must have been some kind of real issue that is not as simple as this. Royal Bank of Scotland or Natwest are explaining. It could even have been, you know, like they had some financial issue. I don't know. I mean, what a way to keep the money for a couple of days, but not handing it out. But also I see a lot of people no longer accepting credit cards or debit cards. They just want cash. And I think that we're going into exactly what... I haven't seen any of this. Oh, wow. I see, I hear about it everywhere. Well, of course in Spain, you can't even eat in a restaurant anywhere without paying cash.

55:55 So either this couple things could be happening one people just want cash which makes total sense Another thing is credit card terminals aren't working and I have seen this you don't have this at all Do you do you get out do you shop? I was out of the house last month Yeah, I get out of the house. I shop all the time and I use debit and credit cards constantly I've had just yesterday. I was at two or three stores and swipe no problem. Hmm. I've seen problems here I don't know. I don't know Bless you Big news not really discussed here is this scandal with Barclays on the LIBOR, the London Interbank overnight rate. Are you following this? No. Oh my goodness. So they got fined like almost three quarters of a billion dollars because they were manipulating the LIBOR interest rate.

57:00 In fact, I saw all the bank stocks were way down in the UK today. The London inner bank overnight rate is essentially what the banks will pay In interest percentage points and it goes down to basis points, which is a hundredth of a percent For keeping money overnight Amongst each other and these guys were scamming there was literally like like office spaces Yeah, they were just scamming but this is trillions of dollars at the end of the day and And what's worse is, you know, these guys get fined. I guess they have to pay a half a billion dollars to our government. Lord knows where that goes. And then I think a hundred million dollars total, a little over a hundred million dollars to the UK government. But this has hurt everyone because your mortgage rate, your car loan, your credit card, all of that is based on LIBOR, isn't it originally?

57:59 Well it depends on whether it's a flexible rate or not. Everyone has a flexible rate, John. Who has a fixed rate? Come on. I've never seen a car loan that was ever flexible. They're all fixed. APR, isn't it? Isn't that what flexible is? No, no, that just refers to the interest rate over a period of specific period of time. Right, but that's all ultimately based on... But once you sign the bill, once you sign, you're done. That's it. You're stuck with that. Right, but it could... When you buy a car, when you buy a house, yeah, you can get a flexible rate. Yeah, but that... It goes up and down and up and down, but it's generally so low right now. But that rate was also determined ultimately by LIBOR.

58:38 That's not my understanding. Okay, well that's the way I because the way I understand the way the banks really make money is the spread between the LIBOR and then what they can cheat the slaves out of. Yeah, but it's again with the flexible rate loan on a house, it doesn't kick in for like three, four, five, six months after it goes up. They just can't fluctuate on it. Like your bill changes every month. Whoa! So it would be caught by them. Isn't that exactly... The reason that they set it up that way so this scam doesn't take place. Wasn't that exactly what happened with the housing crisis? Everyone were like, whoa. Now I gotta pay a lot more? No, but they took out loans that gave them balloon payments. That's what really caused that. They bought a house for a low monthly payment with like after five years it was gonna blossom into some huge payment. They did it on speculation thinking, well don't worry about it, in five years I'll sell the place and make a fortune or refinance back then. The house price goes down. Now they got this huge balloon payment. So no, it's not, it's really not.

59:41 it. It's wrong. I suck? No, you don't suck. Well, maybe you do. But it's I don't think that there's something else going on. Well, did you read that Matt Taibbi Rolling Stone article about? No, I. You haven't read that? Oh, wow. Now what did he say? Summarize. Okay, it's a very long article. Here's how he is. So the headline was kind of like the bankers are using mafia tactics with price fixing in order to skim hundreds of if not trillions of dollars, billions, if not trillions of dollars. Here's how it works. So the bank will help you put up a bond.

1:00:22 Let's say you're a municipality and you want to build a new school. So let's say that's $50 million and they will help you put up a bond and then that money sits in an account because they're not going to use all $50 million immediately. So then they call up a broker, a guy in the middle, and the broker is supposed to go out and find different banks who will give them an interest rate on that but that but that part of the process was fixed and they had you know, they have all these like hundreds of hours of tapes of Bankers, you know using code like hey, man, you're a dying or you're a nickel short or whatever so instead of they were basically divvying up all of these

1:01:06 all of these interest rates on putting, you know, giving the municipalities money to a bank and it would be the difference between 5% or 5.4%. And then so the municipality would get 5% instead of the 5.4% and then the banker, the middleman, he would get the 0.4% in a kickback in the form of a swap someday later on, which was also known as the big lunch. So they had all these code words. So, The argument here, which is very interesting, is that it was free market because they were still getting 5% and that's what the market would bear. But of course, on the other hand,

1:01:43 The municipalities, you know, hospitals, schools, you know, old people, grandmothers, etc. were getting screwed out of money that these guys are putting in their pocket, which is kind of the way banking works. But then there's also some corruption involved with, you know, people taking money and giving it to political campaigns. So that mayor would then choose this bank. I mean, the whole thing, if you read through it, it's a little bit of a read, but it's pretty disturbing just, you know, How stupid we are that we're sitting in front of stupid podcasts talking on Skype, or we could be making millions just by chatting on the phone, cheating people. Is Matt Taibbi's next article be about how some lawyers are crooked? Yeah, but you get the general idea. Yeah, well, this is not... I don't know how anyone could be stunned by this. Well, no one cares. The story went nowhere.

1:02:38 Right, nowhere. So we're getting, I've gotten one call from Gallup about Bank of America. It was a bank, you could tell, you know, it's a Gallup poll about, I don't think it was a poll, it was research about what I thought about the Bank of America since I had an account there once. And so a couple months go by, so JC, Buzzkill Jr., got a call on his cell phone Because he has a Bank of America account. And we talked about it afterwards and it turns out the concerns have changed a bit. Apparently the banks, American banks or at least the Bank of America are freaked out by the Occupy movement.

1:03:21 specifically the demands of the Occupy movement of its members to drop all their bank accounts and go to credit unions. Right. The question seemed to be are you going to do that? Are you sympathetic to Occupy? Are you, you know, there was a lot of those types of questions where they're trying to figure out how dangerous, the other is the bankers are trying to figure out how actually dangerous or or not dangerous these occupiers are with some of these threats or not threats. Well maybe they're just trying to hedge their business to find out if they should close your account on you. So they called him because he has an account presumably and they want to know, are you a risk? Are you going to take your money out? I'm always reminded of something you might see in The Sopranos where these guys are asking questions and the gangster grabs the microphone and says, John that's you on the other end, I know it, we're going to go kill you.

1:04:17 Yeah, you goomba! I always worry about that. But I don't think so. I think they're just trying to figure out... I'm thinking the Bank of America start buying credit unions. There's no reason a bank can't own these. Is there? Yeah, but you know that kind of ruins the whole idea of it being a credit union. Who's gonna know? Yeah. Meanwhile the central bankers, this has gotten some play, virality speaking, on the interwebs. This is a little discussion on MSNBC about central banks. These are a bunch of investment guys, banksters. The guy who's leading this show, asking the questions, is a pretty funny guy, pretty effeminate with a bow tie, which

1:04:59 Kind of makes credibility hard. Like Bill Nye the science guy asking the questions. But the question was good and valid and what came back was probably true. A lot of risks out here. If the ECB does not come with a big bazooka, that may be an even bigger risk. So I think investors need to be very cautious in here. Does it seem to you, John Batchelor, that the ECB and all the European ministers, mostly what they do is hold summits? I think that right now the question is do we all work for central bankers? That's what I want to address to our guest tonight. Is this global governance at last? Is it one world, the central bankers in charge? Jim Muriel.

1:05:37 You say we've got some downside here. I love this. This is one world. This is a new world order. Central bankers rule us at last. Jim. Correction in the markets. Fine. But aren't we all just living and dying for what the central banks do? Aren't we all just counting on the fact that there's a Bernanke putt? put and that we won't go any lower than say 5% down from here? Of course we are because if we look at the economic data there's nothing to get excited about in that. So yesterday we saw some reluctance for the Bernanke Fed to expand their balance sheets and pump more money in but the stock market knows that reluctance

1:06:12 We're slaves to the central banks. Brother These guys are talking about it. Yeah, that means we got to be talking about something else I thought it was interesting that they actually pull up global governance, and that's what's happening. Yeah Yeah, well the global governance thing is what there was a couple of clips. I've been listening to all these European and Middle Eastern stations this last week and There's some interesting analysis going on I bet one of the stations that is

1:07:12 Quite interesting is cat sank. Yeah, France 24. Or sorry, Van Cat. Sorry. Van Cat. Van Cat. What did I say? I don't know. It was ridiculous. And there was a couple of interesting points. Where is this? Great. It's not on here. Good job. Huh? Is this the right list? I don't know what's the name of the clip man. Well, that's a good question. I'm looking at the list of the clips. There's 13 of them. It's not a good question. Oh, this sucks. Oh, here it is. Rant about the euro. This is a...

1:07:54 There's a Van Cat panel every TV news thing has to have a panel of you know their hot panel and there's this guy some progressive and he's in French this is a French guy and then he's if you read between the lines this is really what the thing is all about it's about sovereignty and it's not just about sovereignty it's about giving up your sovereignty and I just don't see how the French Can, out of the blue, really agree to this? Giving up their sovereignty to Germany or Belgium? Does that make sense to anybody? What we need is not a discussion about one is right, one is wrong. We need both of them. You need austerity and at the same time a growth package. And at the same time you need a transfer of sovereignty where some countries have difficulties and at the same time solidarity that means mutualization of the debt.

1:08:47 the moment is there to stop this fight that is unproductive, what we got the last two years in the European Council. Only producing half measures that have worsened the crisis. And I think Mr Hollande or somebody is there maybe who can give an other view, a French view on transferring sovereignty. I hope that he is not falling into the trap of the old style French politics and that he knows that also Monet Schuman, Delors, that's also French tradition in European politics. That means a supranational authority on the federal level, on the federal European Union. And at the same time then, I think we have to convince Mrs Merkel to say, stop it now and we start the mutualization of debt. Otherwise you shall lose what is the most important for Germany and that's the Euro, because the Euro is the engine of growth in Germany.

1:09:39 Okay, now, I got a couple things to say about this. First of all, yeah, surprise, surprise that the guy who they elected president in France turns out to be a douchebag shill who wants to sell him down the river. Are we really surprised by this? I'm not. We have the big Eurozone meeting, yet another Eurozone meeting. I heard you're Dvorak Horowitz on Plug Show. So another big meeting this weekend. Fren Rumpuy Haiku Herman started out with a 12-page document. of what we're going to do. It then became a 10 page document and now it's a seven page document. And of all people, of all people, George Soros actually explains in one minute exactly what is happening. Yes. Basically there's an interrelated problem of the banking system and the excessive risk premium on sovereign debt.

1:10:39 twin, they are Siamese twins, they are sort of tied together and you have to tackle both and it's recognized that you have to do that and there's now widespread agreement on what to do on the banking side. It's the beginning of a banking union and there's a disagreement on the fiscal side and unless that is resolved in the next three days then I'm afraid the summit could turn out to be a fiasco and that could be actually fatal. That could be a fatal

1:11:33 I had a bunch of Soros clips for some show some time back that I just never edited down where he is speaking to some group and he is it seems to me listening to then this clip just confirms this it seems to me that sorrow is sorrows a betting man oh yeah oh yeah And essentially, and he makes big bets, and he knows, and he bets on all kinds of stuff. I think he's been betting against the euro, and he's doing what he can to help pull the rug out from under it. In his very subtle way. Do you call that subtle? Fatal? Using words like fiasco and fatal? That's subtle? This is new. I think it is subtle. So here are the points of Haiku.

1:12:18 If your doctor says to you, I think your disease is fatal. I don't call that subtlety. Here's everything you're gonna die. Yeah, right Here's here's the main points of dissected the document of course in the show notes for two one dot na show notes calm There's like seven points here so what they're gonna call for now is limits on the amount of debt individual countries can take on and Annual national budgets can be vetoed by Brussels if they are likely to mean a country exceeding its debt limits. The eurozone borrowing money collectively can be explored. A European Treasury office to be set up to control a central budget and keep an eye on the national budgets, i.e. give us your money slaves,

1:13:10 a single European banking regulator and a common scheme guaranteeing bank deposits, so it's like Basel IV at this point, common policies, unemployment regulations and levels of taxation, that's communism, and joint decision-making with national parliaments to give it democratic legitimacy, i.e. propaganda. This is crazy. You can't tell me that when the European Constitution was voted down by France and the Netherlands, and they said, no, we're not going, we don't want a constitution, and they brought in this Lisbon Treaty, sorry, abortion, that they didn't know this was going to happen. It was so obvious. This whole thing is one big set. Maybe Soros set it up himself. Who knows?

1:14:03 But this thing is always just destined to fail. The Dutch Central Bank is now announcing to people, pay off your mortgages as quickly as possible, people. Really? Yeah. Why? Why are they saying this? What's the panic? You need to save money because things aren't going to get easier. How's saving money paying off your mortgage at extremely high rates? I'm giving you the direct quote. How do you save money when you just have to spend more? They're saying, they're saying be aware because I think interest rates will go up maybe. Be aware things will not get any easier over the coming years. The Naval Ombudsman Director Joanna Kellerman warned on Tuesday. She says people must take into account lower pensions, falling housing prices and rising healthcare costs. It's a beautiful world. It's fantastic. Enjoy that.

1:15:04 And then in Greece, you know, because of course we got the French shill in, this was just so lovely. So we get a new Greek government and the finance minister develops abdominal pains and is quickly replaced by the guy who brought in the euro in the first place. How convenient. So, uh, the guy was there for what a week. Yeah. So, um, dominoes pains. Yeah. From some guys thugs coming in and punching him in the gut two or three times. I'll give it to you. Details of his regular resignation are unknown. However, he was admitted to a hospital last Friday because of intense abdominal pains, dizziness, nausea, sweating, and weakness. Yeah. Poison. Yeah. Poison. This is a good poison. They, they got there.

1:15:52 And then immediately the Greek government has appointed a new finance minister after the first choice resigned. You don't just resign because you're nauseous, you got a warning, like, you're out, douche. Yanis Stournaras has been appointed. His nickname is Mr. Euro. Because he was part of the team which negotiated his country's entry into the single currency at the time he was Chief Economic Advisor and aide to former Prime Minister Costas Simitis when Greece was negotiating entry into the Euro in 2001. I mean, hello, obvious calling?

1:16:36 So this is how it goes. And I guarantee you, if the whole thing hasn't fallen apart by then, September 12th, when the Dutch have their snap elections, they'll have all the shills coming in as well. I mean, look at what we've got. I don't understand. I mean, yeah, people are angry and they are protesting in many European countries, but they're protesting the wrong things. You know, yeah, it sucks. You got no food and no job, but look at where the problems are coming from. Look at who's doing this to you. These are the evil people. Spain now capital controls, no transactions over two and a half thousand euros in cash. If they catch you, you get a 10,000 euro fine. Well, there's going to be a lot of small transactions then. I'm sure they've already gotten their money out of the Spanish banks. Yeah.

1:17:34 So I feel really bad. I really do. It's going to be interesting. We'll have some good stories when, uh, when we're in Amsterdam, we'll have some good stories. It'll be good. That's definitely going to happen. And I got my warning. I don't know about that Syrian television interview. Now that seemed to be blowing up. Oh, let me see. Oh, TV studios. The TV studios got blowed up. I don't think that's a good idea for me to give. I have a little report here if you want to play the TV station getting blowed up. Yeah, let me see where is it? It's in the bottom. Here we go. The latest violence hit Syria's state television channel Alekh Bariya. The regime says terrorists attacked the studios 20 kilometers south of Damascus, killing three journalists and four security guards, while Syrian TV reportedly dropped normal programming and ran live images of the attack.

1:18:29 Yeah, this is not looking good for my trip. So they had, I mean it seems that all these things that are happening that are bad, I mean there's always traces back to this anti-government group, whoever they are, nobody knows. And it's like... Yeah we do. They blame the federal government or the regime on all these...

1:19:19 murders even though they can't really track it to anybody but meanwhile when they do have some they can trace it's these bad guys so I mean this whole thing of course there's nothing we can do about this situation it is just deteriorated to the point where nobody wants to keep things the way they are so they're gonna oust the government in some way shape or form overtake the place and then there's been some good analysis about how small groups of people can really shake things up in these countries. Well, I have a view on this. First of all, let's look at the actual facts that are taking place now. Lucifer, Clippity-Clop Clinton was in Helsinki.

1:20:01 And of course we know she was in Helsinki because she was telling the Finns, you're not just going to accept this whole bailout thing, the ESM, because she's part of the cabal bringing down the euro. You're going to want collateral. She was there to tighten somebody's balls. But then of course came the announcement that we're gonna have a big meeting this weekend in Geneva. Hold on a second The message is clear Alright, here she is just talking about how horrible it is and it's just none of it's gonna work and just we've got to do something and now we're gonna put together a group outside of the United Nations Security Council for the transition. This is no longer, this is like transition means getting that guy out, putting our guy in which I guarantee you will be Muslim Brotherhood.

1:20:56 We believe it embodies the principles needed for any political transition in Syria that could lead to a peaceful, democratic, and representative outcome reflecting the will of the Syrian people. If we can meet on the basis of that roadmap, with everyone agreeing before we arrive in Geneva that this will be the document we are endorsing by our presence, then I think a meeting makes a lot of sense. And we support it, but we want to ensure that any country that participates

1:21:38 firmly supports the envoy's transition plan and his original six-point plan. Okay, so the document she's referencing I have not been able to get a hold of, but I guess they're essentially going to say, okay, here's the plan. It has nothing to do with the United Nations Security Council. I'm also surprised, by the way, that Turkey only invoked the fourth resolution, not the fifth, sixth, or even seventh, was what I was expecting. And then she threw out this beautiful just list of words that I think we can use over and over again whenever we bring Lucifer Clinton into the picture. Painful, tragic, dangerous, difficult. We know that. Yeah. Painful, dangerous, difficult, tragic. Thank you for explaining that. So here's what I think is happening. We have a true push from the Saudis

1:22:37 to disrupt this entire region because they've got all of their oil and gas assets and initiatives and they want to just get rid of everything else. And they, I think, are goading Erdogan of Turkey to do their dirty work. So it's kind of like a proxy war, if you will. And he's falling for it. He's an idiot. And of course the US is completely in bed with the Saudis, which I think is dangerous policy for a number of reasons, but it's all based upon money. This goes back to George W. Bush. He got all the Saudi money. It's all about money at the end of the day. Most of us in that book about the Bushes, what's the name of that thing again? Family jewels? Family of secrets?

1:23:25 It's all the Saudi money. They love them. They love them. They love them. At one point, if you recall in the re-election when it was Gore Bush and Bush won the second term. He actually said it was the Muslim population in Florida that won it for him, which of course is bullcrap. But this was the kind of thing that he was talking about. And just when did this come out? This came out yesterday. And by the way, Clinton was also, and still is, I believe, in the Saudis' pocket. That's where his library came from. Where's that Clinton library and foundation money coming from, really?

1:24:08 And then the Obama administration yesterday put out a joint statement by the United States and the United Arab Emirates. We remain deeply committed to close consultation and cooperation, i.e. pay me, to promote peace and stability in the Gulf region. and the broader Middle East. In their meeting at the White House today, President Obama and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan reviewed the full range of regional security issues including Iran, Syria, terrorism, and energy security. So it's all about the Saudi energy industrial complex, if you will,

1:24:48 And we're in bed with them. And I think it's a very, very dangerous thing to do. I understand that you want money, but I think we're putting a lot of things at risk. And there's all kinds of signals that this is what's going on. Of course, we had the Syrian jet, which was really, I think, a reconnaissance plane. There was no second plane. You can't believe anything you hear in the media, like duh. But, you know, this is completely nuts. Here's the tip-off. We now have, apparently, soldiers defecting, crossing into Turkey. How many soldiers? Oh yeah, baby. You gotta know, it's 33. Of course! Tip me off right there. Oh, nice one. Okay, you get that one. Yeah, exactly. So we know what's going on. I mean, why even mention it?

1:25:41 Erdogan is now talking about if troops come near the Turkish border. So what is he setting up here? Like a buffer zone, human corridor? You know, this is war talk and I think he's stupid. I think he's really, he's, you know, this could be pretty bad if Turkey and Syria and if everyone gets into that crap over there, you know, we could see a real turmoil in the Middle East. And I really, really believe that this is coming from the Saudis. And the more I look into it, John, this Muslim Brotherhood thing is, I'm not liking it.

1:26:24 I'm really not liking it. I'm not liking the integration. I've been looking at, here's one, here's something that I picked up. This kind of, so now, the Muslim Brotherhood, these, at one point in our history, And I'm, this is, you know, I was too young, not aware, you've been aware for a lot longer than I have, you're a smart guy. The Muslim Brotherhood were not the good guys, am I correct? No, they've never been the good guys until I guess Hillary came along and now they're the good guys? How does that work? Well, who is Hillary's body man?

1:27:01 She has a body double? No, you know what I mean. Who is the number one top assistant with her all the time? Oh, right. You're her girlfriend. Huma Abedin. Huma's mom, Salah Abedin, has very close ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and the new Egyptian dude. She, let's see, she worked alongside, here is a This would make sense. I think we actually have talked about her connection to the Muslim Brotherhood like over a year ago or... I don't even remember that. When we first started talking about her relationship to her husband, Weiner, Anthony Weiner, who was then ousted. Yes. And we believe of course that he's just a beard. Well, let me give you an alternate theory. Alternate theory, okay? So first of all, here we have a Jewish guy, Weiner, marrying a Muslim girl.

1:28:03 Now in America we look like, oh that's great. You know, it's like, you know, black, white, red, whatever we are, we all love each other. But in Islam this is kind of frowned upon. In fact, I think you would get stoned if this... and I'm not talking about the good kind. You get buried up to your shoulders and they throw rocks at you. So what, here's a theory. Let's take the lesbian thing out. Although that is my preferred theory because, you know, Huma is very smoking hot. Let's say Anthony Weiner converted to Islam to get married. And the reason I say this is it makes so much sense that he, if he really converted to Islam, then you get a free ticket. Because you can have as many wives, you can screw around, you can do whatever you want to do. And otherwise, I mean, why is this Huma, how could she go to all these different countries and not be accosted for marrying a Jew?

1:29:02 So maybe this was all, maybe Hillary Clinton has been infiltrated, to coin a phrase. And Huma is her handler on behalf of the Muslim Brotherhood. So now we have the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt running the show and we're happy about it. It's great, Hillary's like, yeah, this is fantastic, no, these guys are good. I don't recall them ever being good, I just don't. No, no, no. Never. And then the other day... They're the guys who murdered the German tourists. Yes. Just to prove a point. And then the other day we had a terrorist visiting the State Department, a known terrorist who came as a part of an Egyptian delegation. He got into the White House. How did he get into the country? With a visa. Through TSA. With a visa. Check this out. A visa. He's a member of the Gamal Islamia

1:30:02 terrorist group, a certified on the list in America as a terrorist group. And the questions were raised at the State Department in my favorite Victoria Newland's little spokeshole meetings there. And she said, well, I'll get back to you on that. I'll figure out how that happened. That was obviously a mistake. So everyone comes back to it. This is a little longer clip, but it's well worth listening to. And people are saying, hey, you not only gave a visa to a member of a known terrorist organization they were in the White House how was that possible? Can I go back to Egypt for just one second? This is Matt by the way, love that guy. But it's not about the government, it has to do with the visa for the Gamal Islamiyah member. You said last week that you were looking into the circumstances of how this was issued. Have you determined how it happened and are you aware that

1:30:55 Representative King has formally asked Homeland Security to find out how he was in fact allowed entry. quite apart, separate from the visa issue. On the latter, yes, I've seen the reporting. As we promised, we did look into it. Unfortunately, you're not going to be happy with me when I tell you that we are not going to get into the details of confidential visa issuance. What? What? You're not going to tell us about it? He and the rest of that delegation who were here last week have all now returned to Egypt.

1:31:38 mistake to issue him a visa given that he is self-proclaimed a member of the Khmer Spaniard? Well, let's start with the fact that we have an interest in engaging a broad cross-section of Egyptians who are seeking to peacefully shape Egypt's future. Really? Who says? How do we know this? This is the Muslim Brotherhood. They have killed people. The goal of this delegation, as you know, was to have consultations both with think tanks but also with government folks with a broad spectrum representing all the colors of Egyptian politics. Oh yeah, blah blah blah. Get to the point where you won't tell us. Liberals, Islamists, Salafists, women, Bedouin, Christians. We were encouraged that they were willing to travel, that they were open to meetings with us, etc. But in terms of specific questions on the visa issuance, I'm not at liberty to get into anything.

1:32:33 The question, and I don't think it's an unreasonable question, it's whether it's a mistake to let somebody who is a self-proclaimed member of such a group in or not. It may be that the threshold under the law is higher and that you have to do more than just say, hey, I'm a member of X, you actually have to have a card or I don't know, pay dues. I mean, maybe there are... The t-shirt? Did you catch that? So what'd she say so so the guy says maybe it's not enough to just say hey I'm a terrorist because that's what the guy says he's a self-proclaimed member of this group. Maybe you have to have a card or a certification or and then new one says or a t-shirt

1:33:14 So apparently you need to have a t-shirt that says I'm a terrorist, otherwise you're good to go on the visa. I can't believe it. This pisses me off. I'm trying to get my future wife a visa and I'm in like some kind of holding pattern waiting for the good graces of Janet Napolitano's Department of Homeland Security. And this woman works here and makes money and we pay taxes, but you're letting a terrorist with a t-shirt in. You know, I bet he has one. But the question is whether this is a mistake or not, regardless of... Nobody's asking you about the specific details of the issuance, or, you know, it's just, did you make a mistake? Again, with regard to this case, we pledged to you that we would look into it. We did look into it. But I can't get into any further details with regard to the how, why, where of the issuance for all of the reasons that... This is good. Yeah, yeah. You know, ask me some question.

1:34:08 John, what would the topic be? Is there a particular topic? Oh, I got it, I got it. Did you get a free Nexus 7 tablet at Google I.O. yesterday? Well, let me tell you what, I'm going to look into it. Okay, now a week later John you were gonna look into that that thing you're gonna tell me if you would actually see the free I was gonna look at it. I looked into it and and that's that yeah, but did you actually receive into it, but did you look into it? I looked into it, but you can't tell me I mean is there some kind of no I just no reason I know I was gonna look into it I looked into it, and that's all I can say so that's exactly what's going on because they don't want this is gonna explode now and

1:34:52 Here's what's kind of freaky. I was you know I've been I'm very interested in this fast and furious case not about the actual You know just the whole process the contempt of Congress. What does it mean and I? Really don't like Eric Holder, and I base that on really just looking at the guy saying you're douchebag You know I'm old enough to look at people and go douchebag. You know you know what that is right John. Yeah, that's That's how we vote. They get better when you get really old. The older you get, the easier it is to spot them. Look at that guy, douchebag. And so remember I talked about the holy, what was it called? The, um, um, what was it? The Holy land lawsuit. I don't know. Yeah. We were talking about this the other day. It's the, um, the Holy land document. So in 2007, um, they found that there were, you know, like 25 or 30,

1:35:50 non-profit organizations operating in the United States run by the Muslim Brotherhood who were collecting money and were sending that money to Hezbollah and other terrorist groups. So they were breaking the law and what happened is they found boxes of just all of these front organizations, all the documents, all the bank boxes I think they're called, And if you research this a little bit, which I've done, there were a number of unindicted persons and organizations who basically skipped out on getting prosecuted. And I didn't know, I didn't even know about this at all until a couple weeks ago, like a week ago. But while I'm listening to the Fast and Furious stuff on C-SPAN, Gohmert, during the Fast and Furious, asks, he's from Arizona, asks this question. There is a political aspect to this office. It offends me beyond belief.

1:36:51 Your job is justice, Mr. Attorney General. It's justice across the board. And that is what's been so troublesome around here. When we made a request a year ago, here, for the documents that your department has produced to people who were convicted of supporting terrorism. They're terrorists. And we wanted the documents you gave to the terrorists. We're a year later and we still don't have them. Why in the world would your department be more considerate of the terrorists than of the people who are members of Congress?

1:37:31 who can vote to just completely defund your department. It makes no sense. So I will ask again and there is no room for a response that, well it's an ongoing investigation. So there was the Holy Way... Gohmert's from Texas. Oh I'm sorry, Frank's is from Arizona. Gohmert's from Texas. It was the Holy Land Foundation. And so they had all this, all these documents, there was a lawsuit, people were convicted, and they showed all of the evidence to the defendants. But I guess they've been trying to get these documents to find out what other organizations, I don't know, perhaps tied to the Saudis who we're so in bed with these days, what other organizations were part of this were unnamed defendants. So now he's asking for it and of course Holder is going to give his typical douchebag answer. Well some of these may be classified. I'm asking for the documents your department produced

1:38:28 to the terrorist supporters convicted in the Holy Land Foundation trial, can we get those documents, just the ones that you gave to the terrorist defendants? Well, certainly you can have access to those things that are on the public record that were used in the trial. I was also a judge. I sat in this Washington, D.C. So is that a yes or a no that we will get those documents? As I said, I was also a judge and understand the anguish that you go through. And just let me clear up one thing with regard to the political aspect of this job. Yeah, blah, blah, blah. So he's not going to give the documents. Then we get Franks from Arizona, and he even lays it out a little more clearly. Thank you, General. Mr. Holder, on April 27th, 2011, members of this committee asked you to give us information surrounding the decision by Justice

1:39:22 to forego prosecution of the unindicted co-conspirators in the Holy Land Foundation case. This is the largest terrorism finance case, of course, in U.S. history. Now, you refuse to comply with this request and you're still not produced or you're still not prosecuted despite there being what many consider to be a mountain of evidence against these jihadist groups, at least one of which now says that it's working inside your agency to help advise on the purge of counterterrorism training materials. Wait a minute, we have terrorists inside the Department of Justice? That's what he just said. Yeah, that's exactly what he said. And this would be ISNA, I-S-N-A, I forget what it stands for, and CARE, C-A-I-R. Yeah. And these people are now- Well, CARE is a notorious operation that's been around for, and they've done a great job of keeping their hands clean.

1:40:23 And they, well, yeah, if they're being helped by the attorney general himself, by these documents being held onto, I want me some documents. I want to read some stuff. So anyway, so this, I'm bothered by all of this because I don't, I've never really looked at this angle of what's going on. I've never really, you know, Saudis, you know, whatever. I thought that was just a Bush thing. And then it turns out, you know, Clinton and now, and now we see with this, this statement, uh, where the Obama administration, Well, you know, it's just a bunch of incompetent boneheads. Or, you know, people working against the best interests of the United States. One of the two. ISNA is the Islamic Society of North America. There you go. So anyway, I thought the Huma thing was very interesting. Her mom having worked with the new president of Egypt kind of puts things into perspective. Yeah, kind of.

Second week of July um I get I think we see more people saying take the week off than people that say we need you I think I think they're wrong by the way I think if if if you have if you miss one or two no agenda shows, I think you'll have a real problem. I Yeah, and we actually lose audience you lose audience. How much audience will we really lose audience? Yeah, you always do you cannot I mean if you ran a rerun an old classic like show What was that show we did on the on the pipeline? 381 381

1:54:06 381 is that it? Yeah. If we reran that show for example and then maybe ran show 200.5 for two days I think that would be okay because people you know some people haven't heard those shows. Well let us know. A lot of people never listen to 2,205. Right well let us know what you think and also someone sent me a clip show Did they yeah that would be sending along to me and so I can listen to it for your approval Yeah, okay huntsman karma here we go You've got karma I'll tell you one thing I Know my wife would be very happy if I wasn't Working doing the entire you probably started getting the shakes to be honest about it. I

1:54:49 Jonathan Rose, oh your buddy in Tel Aviv. Oh this is the guy who called me the Holocaust denier. Yeah you're a douchebag by his standards. 55-55 he came in. This is for Adam's Islamism epiphany on show 420. Wait a minute, this is really transparent. So I- He's apologizing, he says he apologizes for calling Adam a Holocaust denier, he's not. Please at least read the documents I sent in the email regarding Akram and Dina Jad's wipe Israel off the map quote misquote. I don't believe in karma and I don't need a de-douching because I recognize I'm a douche and I'll remain one.

1:55:28 I don't agree with you guys on everything, but I find the show entertaining and challenging. And once in a while, you guys come up with some truly inspired stuff. Once in a while. Keep it up. Well, now I'm conflicted because, you know, part of me says, you know, you can't just like buy me off and make me feel good with a with a donation. He's begging for a douching. Yeah, but he called me a Holocaust denier. That's a poor baby. Yeah. You know what happens when you get called that? It sticks around forever and then someone will Google one day and be like, hey, wait a minute. He's an anti-Semite.

1:56:08 This guy. Then why I ought to go kick his ass. Sir Ray Jacobson in Ashton, Virginia. Double nickels on the dime. When does karma happen? As we all know, karma evaporates in about seven days. My first brush with karma was back in January. I was a couple of weeks behind listening to the shows. Adam bestowed karma over me via a podcast which was broadcast two weeks prior. Within a few days of listening, I won an iPad at a trade show. Woo! Obviously this was good karma. My most recent brush with karma, I was up to date with my shows and Adam bestowed karma. And within the seven days of the show, I got a letter from the Department of Corrections. Usually not good news. I opened the letter to find a court-ordered restitution payment for items stolen from my car over two years ago. Again.

1:56:58 This was good karma. Not every donation results in clear signs of karma, but I think more data is needed to investigate when karma occurs. Does it occur when you listen to the show or does it occur when the show is broadcast? I highly recommend we get to the bottom of this phenomenon. Everyone should donate over $50. Double nickels on the dime has been known to work, as well as $1,100 and report back if your karma occurs within seven days of the broadcast. Or listening. Huh. Listening. Oh, that's interesting. I respect another shot of karma. Happy to give it to you. Your count starts now. You've got karma. One, two, three. The clock is running.

1:57:37 Sir S. Russell Williams in Boise, Idaho. Double nickels on the dime, you need some ring karma getting some fellow Noah Jenna listeners well on holiday in July I would like to get my ring by July 10th so I can show it off to them and if you can please we'll try to expedite something. And I'm, we're gonna be going through Boise I believe on the 2009 Hot Pockets Tour. If we get a trailer lined up, Boise is on the map. You've got karma. Podcast for Peace Alamo, California 5150 abundance karma, please. You've got karma. Good old Alan Martin in Brandon, Florida $50. Peter Totes from Sir Peter Totes that is $50. Tom Mulroy in Ohio. I recently was called out as a boner by my son Pete.

1:58:30 Pete the Teach. And I'm now making good by passing along some of Pete's next birthday. He has value for value reprisal. I love it. Anyway, if you could pass along anniversary wishes to Pete the Teach and his beautiful wife, Josepha, that would be fab. Another reason for my writing is that I was forced retiree from IT at a regional financial processing company in the Midwest, Gitmo Rust. I was an application engineer responsible for telephone banking applications, basic account processing and bill payment processing. In response to your request for some background on the banking failure story out of England, I would have to go along with the supposition that this is a test run for studying bank failure response. Hey, hey, hey, hey!

1:59:16 Yes, indeed. I like it. As John mentioned, these applications have the shit tested out of them before they get anywhere near a production environment. Even with the extensive testing, errors can still find their way into production applications. Toward this end, all applications were on source control systems that would provide a mechanism for backing application back to their previous state. While these backup procedures could be tedious, they could be implemented within a day or two and restore the application back to its prior image. As a matter of fact, fear of the FDIC, F dicks, was the primary force behind most of these processes and procedures. I'm not totally sure what powers the F dicks carried out, but everyone was scared of the shit of those guys, the shit out of those, or they were scared shit of those guys. Quite the fun bunch by the way. This is good stuff. Yeah, no, this is very good. And I'm thinking maybe some of those ATM

2:00:13 failures or or non connections are also testing lack of cash response by the slaves. This is, I'm, I'm, I'm into this. Five day failure as noted in the story is inconceivable. Thank you, thank you. Any bank which you caught, any banking problems that resulted in customer inability to access their cash or account info were totally unacceptable. It resulted in all hands all hours effort on either correction or rollback procedures. I do not think the loss of back bank assets, which is my theory, theft, embezzlement, poor management scenario is probable. Again, because regulatory organizations, F dicks, would never buy into a cover-up of that kind of magnitude. Well, John scoffed at the virus Stuxnet flame scenario. It may have as much credibility as any other explanation because none of them application problems, et cetera.

2:01:07 Even the four to five day test failure is hard for me to imagine. The only other scenario I can see is just a totally inept company. that had total disregard for accepted institutional practices and regulatory procedures. Very interesting. Well, there's been, you know, we've had a lot of interesting failures. Listen to this. June 1st, Facebook outage, which never really, no one really explained what it was. June 7th, Gmail outage. June 11th, Berkeley campus power outage. June 14th, Amazon web services outage. June 14th, Samsung production lines in Seoul outage. 19th of June, NatWest, that was the so-called software upgrade. 20th of June, Southwest Airlines power outage. 20th of June, petrochemical complex in Singapore power outage.

2:01:59 22nd of June, Twitter outage. Cascading fail, whatever that is. June 29th, iCloud, iTunes, and iMessage outage. That's a lot in one month. Yeah, maybe they're testing. And we want to thank Tom for that note and also his donation. I'm giving him some karma just for that note. I don't know if he asked for it or not. Yeah, it's a good note. We've got karma. Great note. This is the kind of notes we would like to see more of, which is people that are inside the business telling us what's going on. And finally our last donor today, over $50 donor that is, John Kemp from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. We have a few others but these are the unanonymous ones and want to thank them and everybody else who donated. It's lesser amounts to remember that you

2:06:15 Welcome my friend. So my browser crashed. Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that. That blows. So, uh, um... I was while we were talking about that banking thing I was wondering if anything had happened in St. Louis if there'd been any banking ATM failures in St. Louis I mean when you if you if you google St. Louis ATM failure it's not really a good search term but I know we have slaves out there in St. Louis have you had any problems have they've been does it look like they've been testing how you'll respond if things are shutting down because

2:06:57 There's something wacky going on in St. Louis. They got military performing training missions on the street. Wasn't this like a month ago? No, no. Here it is. Good evening. It's a military mission in North St. Louis. Heavily armored vehicles are rolling into town and while they come in peace, there are all kinds of rumors about why they are here. News Channel 5's Casey Nolan is live somewhere in St. Charles County where he got an up-close look at the military vehicles. Casey? Mike, in order to get that up close look, we've agreed not to say exactly where in St. Charles County we are tonight. What is that?

2:07:37 In order to get a close-up look, we had to agree not to say where we are, so now it's like a secret base in St. Louis? I'm aware these vehicles will be parked overnight. The Army doesn't want that information to be made public for security reasons, but we can tell you why they are here. Yeah, for security reasons. Wait, this is the Army? Yeah! Well listen, you'll hear the whole report. Hey, where's Camp Pendleton? I gotta go check in. Oh, we can't tell you where the camp is because we're scared to death it's gonna be attacked. What?

2:08:24 But that was about all the information they released on the KSDK Facebook page in just a few hours. We had more than 100 people weighing in on what was going on with comments ranging from people saying they would stop and salute if they saw the vehicles to others worried this was... How stupid are they? Hey look, there's the video. The army's taking over our town and I'm gonna stop and salute. ...the beginning of martial law. Well it turns out this This is a group of military police in from Fort Meade, Maryland, and they are here to train members of the 354th MP Company here in St. Louis on how to drive these rigs. A military driver's ed of sorts, if you will, on the highways and on city streets. They are not loaded, they are not armed in any way, but the Army says that does not mean they aren't dangerous.

2:09:12 That vehicle is over 32,000 pounds. If they see that vehicle, it is harmless, but they need to know to stay away from it. Away from the vehicle, slaves! Hello, citizens of St. Louis! Away from the vehicles! We are here only for a drill! This is a drill! I repeat, only a drill! Do not be alarmed! And stay away from the vehicle! And salute me, you stupid slaves! Well that sounds a lot better than your other attempts at that voice. We don't mind you all looking at it, but please stay away. Every day while we're out riding around we get hundreds of people taking pictures and filming us. Oh, don't film us! And a lot of people even swerving in our lane.

2:09:56 In fact, they were on Interstate 44 today coming in from Fort Leonard Wood. They say they had one man trying to drive and take pictures at the same time. They had a kind of a last-minute unintended class and evasive maneuvers to avoid a wreck. So their warning, be careful around what is an unusual site in St. Louis. We go around the unusual site. Be careful. This is just an unusual site. Please proceed to your FEMA camp. I like this thing. It sounds pretty good now. What is it? What are you doing? I got a megaphone. Oh, that's it? Please proceed to the FEMA camp. John C. Dvorak. Now I have to get a megaphone. You have a slide whistle. Hey, you with a slide whistle, get in the camp. You have a slide whistle, I get a megaphone. You, go entertain the slaves in the camp. Get in there, slide whistle boy, dance ring monkey boy.

2:10:50 Actually, I think I do have a Somewhere in the basement. I got one of those I had the one that had a bunch it has a bunch of buttons that plays music Oh, you've got it. You've got a deluxe model Yeah, that's pretty supposed to take to a football game, and I'll play all kinds of jingles and stuff You know it's got it was the annoying thing in the world to be around somebody with that well this one has like a vocoder so you can change it so it's like Hello slaves Turn off the voice cord and just sound like it was supposed to sound like playing. I don't know if I can. One, two, one, two. One, two, one, two. Now I think the setting I had was good. This is the setting that sounds good. I like this a lot. Yeah, everything has to be prefaced with, hey citizen. Hey citizen, hey citizen, with your slide whistle.

2:11:50 Someone sent me a funny clip actually I wanted to play. Bob Hope, one of the... I have to say one of the funniest guys, if you like old school humor. It's a movie he did. Something wrong with my thing here. Listen to this. I'm gonna see if I can play this. You live here? Yes. Well maybe you know what a zombie is. When a person dies and is buried, Seems a certain voodoo priest who will have the power to bring him back to life. Horrible. It's worse than horrible because a zombie has no will of his own. You see them sometimes walking around blindly with dead eyes, following orders, not knowing what they do, not caring. You mean like Democrats? Pretty funny. That's a good one. I don't know what movie that's from, but I liked it. So there's the Russia Today people.

2:12:43 Listen a lot of Russia today. They're getting a little sensitive, and they're also doing a bunch of other they've decided to turn on the American media and Everybody is critical of them and defend themselves and and a lot of their stories are very you know essentially there now they're becoming more they're becoming more of a like a nasty operation, but I got the biggest kick from out of the Russia Today tirade, it was kind of a, even though, you're right by the way, Abby Martin can't read a prompter. No, she sucks. She's old and she's actually quite pretty when she puts on that big smile very pretty But she needs to show her legs and she needs a lesson in prompter reading and he needs to work on her and we are the guy and she needs to be bleached and we are the guys that can do this I agree with that and it's possible. She's working with one of these cheap a small prompters You know you've seen oh like on a handheld. It's not even a little dinky, but you need the big prompter

2:13:42 By the way, can I just say the analysis we just gave right that is valuable analysis because you know I think you're spot-on they have the wrong prompter and look at this would be a a $300 fix for RT to make better programming. And of course our $10,000 fee, but still this is the kind of stuff we do people hire us. Wednesday June 27th 4 p.m. in Washington DC. I'm Abby Martin and you're watching RT. At RT our motto is question more and what that means more than anything is to critically think about what we're told by the main... Okay stop stop we need a meaning.

2:14:29 Who made up this stupid ass slogan, Question More? Yeah, this is new. This is where it starts. Now it's on the logo, so it says RT and Session. Question More? By the way, do you notice that when she begins her read and she introduces herself and then she goes into her first read, she smacks her lips. Oh, really? She's done this numerous times. She goes like this. She says, I'm John C. Dvorak. And today we're going to talk about blah blah blah. I want to does it every time she makes a loud lip smack hmm very amateur has but she has kind of Luscious lips if I recall they're okay. Yeah, no, they're pretty but they don't need to be going no they don't okay So first of all we're gonna come up with a better slogan after we play the clip but question more is not a catchy slogan this would not sell sneakers people and

2:15:20 It's Wednesday, June 27th, 4 p.m. in Washington, D.C. I'm Abby Martin, and you're watching RT. No! Hear it? Yeah! She does it every show. Abby, stop with the lip-smacking. At RT our motto is question more and what that means more than anything is to critically think about what we're told by the mainstream. RT offers a different perspective than the MSN and tends to host more adversarial journalism. Dare I say tapping into the roots of what real journalism should be. People all over the world are tuning in because they want to see real reporting done about America's domestic and foreign policy.

2:16:00 According to a recent study, RT leads all other channels on the level of people watching daily. Oh, really? No, no. Oh, you missed the punchline. Yeah. You stepped on it. You got to back up and listen to this because when she says that more people listening daily, then there's a little punchline that you'll crack up. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Dare I say, tapping into the roots of what real journalism should be. People all over the world are tuning in because they want to see real reporting done about America's domestic and foreign policy. According to a recent study, RT leads all other channels in the level of people watching daily in Canada. The channel's run- In Canada. In Canada. And she just runs just past that little tidbit. Alright, who's writing the copy? In Canada. You're fired! Popularity hasn't come without controversy.

2:16:50 Remember the naked news is that still around? Yeah, the naked news is still around I think. The naked news... I check it about once a year. RT is the state-run English-speaking Russian channel. It's kind of like Al Jazeera. The Kremlin already controls domestic television. Now it's going after the international audience to repair a national image tarnished by war, corruption and assaults on democracy. Under Vladimir Putin, freedom of the press was stifled as Kremlin approved oligarchs brought up media outlets one after another. And none of those channels, including RT, is about to bite the hand that feeds them.

2:17:30 Now a lot of people say, yeah, RT does have spin because it's funded by the government of Russia. Let's examine the premise at work here. Glenn Greenwald wrote an article that sums it up pretty nicely, shining a light on the people and money behind the scenes. He asks, is there a rule that says it's perfectly okay for a journalist to work for a media outlet owned and controlled by a weapons manufacturer? Like MSNBC and NBC, or owned by the US and British governments? Like the BBC, Stars and Stripes, as well as the Voice of America. Or how about only How about owned by Rupert Murdoch and a Saudi prince, aka the benefactors of the Wall Street Journal and the so-called fair and balanced journalistic stylings of Fox News? Or what about the banking corporation with long-standing ties to right-wing governments that fund Politico? How about for-profit corporations whose profits depend on staying in the good graces of the U.S. government? Or by loyalists to one of the two major political parties in the U.S.?

2:18:29 But it's apparently a violation of journalistic integrity to run a media outlet owned by the Russian government. So where did that rule come from? So you never do a segment like this, by the way. This is the stupidest thing they could ever do. Yeah, it's pretty bad. It makes no sense at all that they're doing this. What an idiots. They need our help so badly. They really, really need our help. Yeah, well, they... It's Russia. I mean, it's like, you know, it's a joke and when you're working on some show and especially on a cable company and you're doing and you're setting things up and then they look at it on the monitors in the control room, they say, oh my God, it looks like a Russian TV. Yeah, it's used as a comment about, you know, you don't have enough, you like the wall behind, right behind your back.

2:19:22 Said you're reading the news and you have a wall behind you about a foot behind you with a shadow on it I mean this is the kind of thing that's mocked and RT which is using green screens mostly I think they do have some one set and it's just You know, it's rinky-dink. Yeah, she's she really you're right. She just her prompter reading is terrible Yeah, we can help we could help and we'd be happy to do it. I We have no shame, be happy to do it. Well I have a little thing talking about Bogative News Agencies and this is an audio thingy. You know LZ Granderson? You know who that is? No. So LZ Granderson, he might have been a sports guy, I don't know, but he came from ESPN. LZ Granderson? LZ, L, Lima Zulu.

2:20:15 LZ Granderson and he was he worked on ESPN and at a certain point Black guy. Yeah at a certain point He shows up on CNN and they love him because he's kind of like, you know hip looking and he's got a little bit dreadlock II thing going on and he you know, he talks, you know, like normal people whatever and he did this opinion piece which was written up on CNN.com but also an audio which I thought was more interesting and it's about fast and furious and this is not about fast and furious but about how we just need to shut up and not question anything and this kind of sums up just like that clip did for RT bunch of defensive no prompter reading no legs showing. This is the same guy you tell me this is the same guy who wrote an opinion article titled Ted Nugent should be in jail? Yeah that guy that guy

2:21:08 Shut up, Slavey, he's black. Yeah. Here's his opinion piece, don't be nosy. Has a little nice intro music too. Hello. Hello. We are a nosy country. Though to be fair, it's not entirely our fault. Between the 24-7 news cycle, social media and reality TV, we have been spoon-fed other people's lies for so long we now assume it's a given to know everything. And if there are people who choose not to disclose, they must be hiding something. Being told that something's none of your business is slowly being characterized as rude. And if such a statement is coming from the government, it seems incriminating.

2:21:51 Times have changed. Yet, not everything is our business. And in the political arena... By the way, this is coming from a guy who works at a news organization. There are things that should be, and need to be, kept quiet. Heads should roll because of the faster that fears the biaco. We don't need every detail of that operation to be made public in order for that to happen. If it were an isolated sting, maybe. But it is at least the third incarnation of a gun running scheme stretching across two administrations, which means we could be pressing to open Pandora's box. We do not want to open Pandora's box. Can you believe this? Can you believe this is coming from a news organization? This is this is not a problem with CNN and these other operations. About this and certainly not about a bunch of other potentially scandalous things the federal government has been involved with.

2:22:44 You see, freedom isn't entirely free. Oh really? It also isn't squeaky clean. And sometimes, the federal government deems it necessary to get its hands dirty in the hopes of achieving something we generally accept as good for the country. Wait a minute, so it's okay? What, death of a border agent? Yeah, oh yeah! Such as the death of Osama Bin Laden. Oh! We danced, we cried. I did not dance and cry! but we did not make a very big deal about the secret operation that was executing impact... What? I made a big deal about it. What are you talking about? Everybody made a big deal about it. It was huge. This guy under a rock? Yeah. Pakistan, without the permission of the Pakistani government, the Obama administration did what it thought was in the best interest of America. Much in the same way, Project Wide Receiver and Project Roadrunner, the earlier versions of Fast and Furious under W, were executed with the hope that they would do more good than harm.

2:23:37 Hardly anyone in the public knows the finer points of these programs. Were they legal? Hell no. Were they effective? Who knows? By allowing guns to infiltrate Mexico's drug cartel, we thought we could trace them up the ladder to the leaders. Take off the head and the body dies. Ask for the innocent people who lost their lives? White receiver which was Bush's thing was done unlike this other thing that would have a fast and furious fast and furious that was done with Mexico's cooperation and permission and to the guns were given out to walk but they were all stopped at the border so this is bogus

2:24:27 This is like the argument you hear from guys who are apologists for this bullcrap. And this guy, by the way, is an obvious douchebag. And curiously, the winner for online journalism from the National Lesbian and Gay Journalist Association. Oh, I need that award. And he's defending Obama. And I'm just making the connection because Obama has this, I don't know, he was on the front cover of Newsweek saying he's a gay president. Connection? You tell me. 30 seconds to wrap it up. It gets better. Corridor damage. That's the uncomfortable back story to this scandal. And there are likely other operations like it in our nation's history that we don't even have a clue about. And maybe for everyone's sake, we shouldn't. I understand the role of the press is to find out the truth and I am thankful for it. But maybe it's better for us not to be so nosy. Not to know everything because, to paraphrase the famous line from the movie, A Few Good Men, maybe we won't be able to handle the truth.

2:25:25 For CNN Opinion, this is LZ Granderson. Douchebag! Unbelievable! You can't handle the truth. It's a corrupt situation they're trying to expose. There's no great secret that's, you know, that's... ugh! They already admitted that they screwed up. How is this a bad thing? Do I get it? Finding out how they screwed up. Do I get it? Clip of the day. Clip of the day! That actually made me the clip of the month. What an idiot, huh? The guy works for a news organization. Unbelievable! And he's the journalism honoree of this journalist association. I'm LZ Granderson, everybody! Shut up! Don't be so nosy, slave! Don't be nosy? This is CNN. Yep. He also is a commentator, I guess, for ESPN for doing what? I have no idea. Yeah, but that's where he started. He's developed a passion for the National Hockey League. Uh, yeah.

2:26:31 because they have great teeth. Just a quick rundown, but we got to get out of here because the foosball is about to start. Very nice that the human resources here, the slaves of UT, Tejas, here in my hometown, have demonstrated with $1,000 worth of gear how easy it is to distort the GPS signal, which then can take over the drone. Yeah, it's great. This is beautiful. Actually, I've met some people at UT And there's some really cool people who work at this university. It's a nice little group of crazies. And these guys are awesome. And this can only result in one thing. And you're not going to like it. But the government is going to shut off your GPS access. Can you imagine if all your smartphones, oh, I won't be able to check in on Foursquare because I won't know where I am. But they're going to shut you down.

2:27:26 If people keep showing these easy hacks, which is basically... Well, actually that's not going to happen, but I can tell you what is going to happen. They're going to have a secondary system, the really good one. They're launching it as we speak. There's going to be a second GPS up there. There's already a couple, I think the Chinese will put their own up, Russia has its own. Yeah, Europeans have one. And there's a new drone, John. Woohoo! Grey Eagle. The gray eagle drone has officially been introduced. It has double the weapons capacity of the Predator. It features a heavy fuel engine for increased supportability in the field, equipped with triple redundant avionics, redundant flight controls and surfaces, electro-optical infrared, and synthetic aperture radar payloads. This is the bitch.

2:28:20 Gray Eagle predator move over there's a new boss in town, and I can't wait until they test it I will say we've added to the kill list kill list out curry.com us drones attacked a house in Waziristan once again as predicted that would be the hotbed we have 151 camps now of terrorists So we killed six two others were wounded. Oh bad score bad score, but we got six more to add to the list I The General Atomics MQ1C Grey Eagle has its own Facebook page. Really? Yeah. Oh, cool. I don't have a... I got Facebook, hold on. Do you have Facebook? Wait a minute, you can't see it if you have Facebook. No, there's certain pages they make public, they're auto-public. Let me see. Grey Eagle. Wow. But this doesn't look like the right page.

2:29:19 No, I don't see it. Well, I'll tell you which one it is. Hold on which one I click on. Oh, yeah right here You type in gray eagle drone. That's your search term great eagle drone And then you'll see it general at the bottom of the list just above news news for gray eagle just above that General Atomics MQ 1c gray eagle Facebook you getting that on your list? No, it's the it's one two, three, four fifth one down. I'm looking buddy. I I'm not getting any note. No joy here. Well try putting the word Facebook into that search. Oh wait a minute There's an idea okay Hmm. Oh here. We go. Yeah, right the time. It's a beaut kind of looks like a predator, but bigger. It's huge wait Wait let me like this come on like bulbous head. I'm liking it there you go. I just liked it I just liked the gray eagle

2:30:21 There's 74 likes so far, so I don't get that part. Yeah, one is talking about this. That would be me. It says here to interact with General Atomics MQ1C Grey Eagle, you need to sign up for Facebook first. I'm signed up, man. I got a Facebook account. Yeah, I know. And you put it like, so it's 75 now. Yep. Let me just refresh. How come there's no dislike? Oh, now you're deep into it. I do have a quick couple of things on the vaccine front. Hill and Knowlton is out from the Hill and Knowlton blog. They... actually we can play it. Oh my goodness, I love this. Yeah, where is it? Hey, why didn't it play? Looks like the number of deaths from the swine flu, according to Lancet and the CDC, were 15 times higher than confirmed than previously reported.

2:31:25 Yeah, right. Actually I wanted to talk about that. Where are the bodies? But now you know why it's a big news story because Helen Knowlton is the PR company behind it. This is right from their website. From H&K Strategies. So where are the bodies? They say 151,000 to over half a million people died. I guess they just died and went to heaven. Their body isn't all. Where'd they go? Yeah, where's the corpses? Yeah, where's the bodies? Are you out darling? Okay. Yeah, sure. Oh, that's not convenient. And before you wrap, make sure I set up the clip we want to play. Yeah. Now we got like a washing machine repair guy coming, but Miss Mickey has to leave and so...

2:32:15 I'm not saying that. Washing machine repair guy. Leave the door open, honey. Leave the door open. She slams the door. So the guy comes, you know, like, and I'm still doing the show. I'll have to interrupt the show. Aren't you the same guy who cleans the pool? BBC, we're all on the vaccine tip here. This is beautiful. You know, this autism thing is going to be such a bonanza when they come up with all these crap vaccines. A simple brain trace can identify autism in children as young as two years old, scientists believe.

2:32:52 Yes, a US team at Boston's Children's Hospital say EEG traces, which record electrical brain activity using scalp electrodes, could offer a diagnostic test for this complex condition. So what does that mean? Yep, go ahead and get your kids tested. And here's the tip off, ladies and gentlemen. We love it when this happens. EEG might offer a way to check for the same condition in younger siblings. The latest study found 33 specific EEG patterns that appeared to be linked to autism. AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

2:33:40 Now, scientists have located the cells in the cervix that give rise to cancer when attacked by the human papillomavirus, a discovery that may lead to new methods of preventing and treating the disease. So here's how it works. They're going to test you to see if you have cells that might be susceptible to precancerous conditions if you have the HPV, the right strain. And right at the bottom of this report, this is something that probably could be adopted by clinicians. pathologists pretty soon these investigators have actually identified the type of cells which can be used to target new methods of testing treatment and screening it's fantastic said dr. Einstein literally his name is Einstein come on you want me to believe this report people dr. Einstein so be on the lookout for it this is all marketing

2:34:39 It's all marketing, and this is not like confirmed science or anything yet. We believe may be possible, could be great, fantastic. Terrible. You know what we should do? We should just watch some foosball. The game has started. Okay. The game has started. Set up your clip. So this is from the movie Casino Jack, which never hit the screen as far as I know. And starring Kevin Spacey as Jack Abramoff. And it's a dream sequence.

2:35:19 where he's testifying in front of Congress and he keeps saying, I have to invoke the fifth amendment, I'm not gonna, you know, he just keeps saying it over and over and over and over again. And so, but in the dream sequence, he pauses and goes into a rant, which is what everybody wanted to hear, where he especially blasts McCain. And then he falls out of his dream sequence and goes right back into the, you can, when you listen to this rant, you can see why this movie really never got much play. That is your end of show clip. We'll be back on Sunday. I'll be doing my government legislation analysis. John will be out buying a megaphone. Yes. Italy for the win in this match. Miss Mickey says Germany. You, John? Germany. Germany. We have two for the Deutsches and one for the Spaghetti's. And coming to you from the capital of the drone star state here at Camp MoFo in Austin, Texas, proud to be your media assassin in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam Curry.

2:36:18 Oops, I forgot I'm here. I'm in Northern Silicon Valley. I'm John C. Dvorak. We'll be back on Sunday everybody. Remember to support the program with your value for value donation at Dvorak.org slash NA. Adios mofos! Senator, I respectfully invoke the privileges as a... No. Jack. No, I no longer wish to invoke the privileges. Jack, I have something to say and I'm going to say it. Jack, just be quiet. No, no, no. In fact, if we want to talk all about the money... Why don't we start with the four $5,000 checks I personally handed to Senator Jarvis for his re-election campaign? And we know what that money was all about, don't we, Senator? Or how about you, Senator Burnham? I donated $30,000.

2:37:15 to influence your vote to keep the Marianas open for business. Remember? And what about you, Senator McCain? You should be sitting in the seat that I'm sitting in right now. For years, you've taken tens of thousands of dollars from lobbyists just like me, representing competing Indian tribes who wanted to open up their own casinos that would have shut my clients down. Sir, you're out of order. This man, this son of a bitch is guilty. And if he's allowed to go free, then there's something really wrong.

2:37:51 What's going on here? Sir, you are out of order. Out of order? You're out of order! You're all out of order! This whole Senate hearing is out of order! I got a whole panel of Senators who love to take money from anybody who's got a fucking bank account and you call me a fuck... You fucking hypocrites! You fucking hypocrites! You ought to stand for something! You should protect people! I have just completed my opening statement. Mr. Abramoff, Mr. Abramoff. Jack. Senator, I respectfully invoke the privileges as stated. And I'd say to you, Mr. Abramoff, shame on you. Who the hell are you trying to look like? Look, it's Michael Corleone. Painful, tragic, dangerous.

2:39:00 Difficult. We know that. Adios, mofo. Shut up, slave!
