2:31:50 All right, coming to you from the hotel room here in San Francisco in the great People's Republic of Northern California. In the morning everybody I am Adam Curry and from northern Silicon Valley where I remain John C Dvorak We'll be back on Thursday right here for you on No Agenda So we need that. That is the way to create good paying jobs that are real, that actually improve life in every community in America We need to get funds for this by reducing our military budget Do you know our military budget is higher in real dollars than it was during the Cold War? When were facing Soviet missiles
2:32:41 It's now $800 billion including the wars of choice in Iraq and Afghanistan. By the way, 70% of American people won out of Afghanistan yesterday If we cut that military budget which is now 800 billion to 6, 5, 4 General McPeak, retired of the Air Force said a while back if we can't defend the USA on 300 billion dollars you better get a new set of generals. We liberate that money, we bring those soldiers from those bases all over the world of our empire
2:33:19 We're just agitating and making people hate us, including our allies like in Okinawa. When and why did you leave the Republican Party to become a libertarian? Well you know I've probably been a libertarian my entire life so this is kind of coming out of the closet But I don't think that I'm unlike most Americans. I think there are a lot more Americans in this country that declare themselves libertarian as opposed to voting libertarian, so you know the pitch and i'm trying to make right now is vote libertarian with me just this one time give me a shot at changing things and if it doesn't work out you can always return to tyranny and I'm going argue that's what we have right now
2:34:04 Congress is the most powerful branch of our three branches. They don't use some of that power, but they have the taxing power, the spending power, the war declaration power, the investigating power, the confirmation power on and on. They are the smallest branch of our government We do not have to deal with millions of executive branch employees we don't have to deal with judges there for life in a courtroom We deal with little Congress. 535 men and women who put on their shoes every day like you and I do, and they dream every day of getting votes but they've figured out that the way to get votes
2:34:54 is first to gerrymander districts so that either the Democrat wins easily or the Republican wins easily, sometimes without even an opponent. Have you heard of Speaker John Boehner? Here's how smart the Democrats are They have made sure that in Southwest Ohio John Boehner does not have a Democratic opponent So it's pretty easy for most these people get re-elected A lot of them have no opponents. More of them have nominal opponents, of the major party! Never mind the Green Party or Libertarian Party, Justice Party, Constitution Party... They know how to marginalize small parties, keep em out of debates, wear em down with obstacles
2:35:45 So, what are we doing about our member of Congress? Adios mofo. Right right RIGHT?! NO THAT'S NOT RIGHT! Celebrating moonshine by no agenda The best podcast in the universe! Civorac dot org slash N-A
