About this episode

Barack Obama secured a second term as President of the United States, triggering an immediate stock market downturn and speculation regarding Joe Biden for 2016. ABC News anchor Diane Sawyer faced public scrutiny for her election night performance, while Chris Matthews at MSNBC drew criticism for dismissive comments toward third-party voters. The electoral map shifted significantly as Washington and Colorado voters approved recreational marijuana legalization, contrasting with the defeat of California Proposition 37 regarding GMO labeling.

Legal experts warn that Washington Initiative 502 includes strict DUI provisions that may penalize drivers based on THC blood levels rather than active impairment. In the financial sector, Marc Faber predicts a potential economic collapse due to Ben Bernanke and the Federal Reserve enabling endless debt escalation. Geopolitical tensions rise as Admiral James Lyons questions the Benghazi response timeline and the removal of General Carter Ham.

NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen signaled new alliance capabilities as the Greek parliament passed severe austerity measures and water privatization laws.

Media incompetence took center stage as a CNN reporter repeatedly used the phrase exactly similar to describe conflicting voting data. The No Agenda amateur radio network expanded its reach via EchoLink node 780399 as the hosts performed de-douching ceremonies for new donors. Personal anecdotes regarding the oral health risks of quitting smoking and the rise of the vajacial beauty trend provided a human counterpoint to the heavy political analysis of the 2012 cycle.

Diane Sawyer Election Night Coverage, Substance Use Allegations

Diane Sawyer appeared to be intoxicated or under the influence of medication during her 2012 election night broadcast on ABC. Historical satellite feed footage from the 1980s surfaced showing Sawyer consuming wine and pills before a broadcast. One of the hosts recounts using marijuana to manage pain from a motorcycle accident while working in European radio.

Wait I have an important question about the slogan... I've got a question that i wanted to ask by the way At one point President Obama's campaign put in exclamation point after forward

06:38 It was just four word and then it had an exclamation point. When did they decide that was the right message for them? Now when she said this my SMS exploded, people were like oh my god she's like someone has to get her off the set immediately! When did they think this is a good idea?! So that made it great. Well, you know as she gets older she's really in her 60s I think Yes... no... yeah I think so She is obviously uh you get into this habit I mean i don't know how anyone can broadcast drunk I've done it because I used to do it stoned all the time Yeah but when you were stoned you weren't really any different than you normally are Oh okay dude Well except for that

07:31 Or the staring at your hand. Oh, man! That's really pretty. Cool Amen! I've got six fingers. You know, I really started smoking weed heavily when I had a motorcycle accident and the only painkiller that really worked for me was smoking marijuana but i was doing a morning radio show at the time and so I had to travel by car for like an hour and 15 minutes every every morning every weekday morning from Belgium up to The Netherlands And I'd have a guy drive me, but I literally could not sit in the chair. And so I'd smoke some weed and be like, ugh! And then by the time I got to the studio, I'm like... And I think I'll just keep smoking the weed. It makes the show much better. At least it sounded better to me."

Marijuana Legalization, California Proposition 37 Labeling Defeat

Washington and Colorado voters approved the legalization of recreational marijuana, while California voters rejected Proposition 37, which would have mandated GMO labeling. Critics suggest heavy spending by corporate interests and the Koch brothers influenced the California results.

washington state· colorado· proposition 37· gmo labeling· koch brothers

08:20 I'm sure it did. Yeah, so on the topic since we're done when it will try to make this thing flow a little bit So Washington State and Colorado both yes passed the legalizing marijuana law where California couldn't even pass the labeling law But the GMO is because they have this genetically modified organism. Because we have so much money pours into California to keep anything from happening, because supposedly the trendsetters are freaked out about anything like marijuana getting legalized or labeling changing... So the idiots in California of course don't know what they're doing when they vote

08:59 And they're always in the pockets of all the Democrats, they'll vote whoever throws the most money at it. But wait let me ask you a question because I don't understand any normal person in the universe... this is what I do not get... sees Proposition 18 And the question is, do you want companies to label what you are putting... No it's proposition 37. Oh yeah 18 and something else that I'm sorry was here in Austin. 37 Do you want companies to label what you put in your pie hole? And people actually went no

09:37 No, I'm not interested. We don't want to know! Now you saw the ballot what did it say? Did there a little explanation? It was explained perfectly What did it said do you remember what it said on the ballot? I should have a ballot with me but I don't...it said You know that specifically said exactly what it was which is these things that you know things need to be labeled It wasn't a trick question, it wasn't like put on there peculiarly. If you didn't know anything about it and you read it, you'd know what you were voting on Right! That's what I figured. Yeah, well the 32 was the other one and 32 which had no... they had more money spent. I voted yes on 32 without even knowing what it was because my mailbox box 339 El Cerrito where people also send checks My mailbox was filled

10:25 to the brim with no on 32 and there's I start watching ads and no one 32 is essentially did to make it so unions can't take money off your payroll tat off your payroll of your check out of your pocket essentially and use it for political purposes. And did that pass? No, it got rejected Because the way the argument went was the following. Wait a minute! Yeah, I got rejected. Let the unions do whatever they want. John don't wait run away from this state get out man. This state is horrible there are zombies there They're insane And my favorite thing is the way that one works and I realized the real gimmick you want to use if you want To get all these knee-jerk Democrats just vote no or whatever You want them to do The Koch brothers support it

11:13 The Koch brothers support it! Does he bring out the Koch brothers? Oh, no. The Koch brothers support it! And by the way the Koch brothers support the News Hour on PBS. I know. The Koch brothers support Nova. Yeah yeah so don't watch those So I paid very close attention to Washington because I was actually doing some reports for my buddy's radio show in Holland and you know kind of propagating the formula just a little bit trying to hit the Dutch slaves in the mouth And I was like, yeah that's pretty interesting how it looks like we are now in America. We have states that are more liberal than Amsterdam with your stupid weed pass

Washington Marijuana Law, DUI Enforcement Concerns

Opponents of Washington's Initiative 502 characterize the new marijuana law as a "wolf in sheep's clothing" due to strict DUI provisions. The law allows for DUI convictions based on THC blood levels that may not reflect active impairment. Drivers in Washington are warned about aggressive speed limit enforcement used as a primary revenue source for local municipalities.

initiative 502· thc· dui laws· washington state· traffic enforcement

11:50 So I'm focusing in on some local Washington news and it seems that this passing of legalization of marijuana may be somewhat of a scam. And i'd like to play a local news reporter which I found interesting. Initiative 502 spokesperson Allison Holcomb told me today, It's ridiculous to think Washington's new marijuana law was designed specifically just to strengthen the state's DUI laws and not decriminalize pot But key opponents of 502 call the law a wolf in sheep's clothing and what we're gonna have is a per se duid bill Which is the drug czars plan for the new prohibition at issue? Is let me just stop right there. I like it so The way, it works is It all comes down to science as to how much tea

12:41 THC is too much and when are you actually stoned and wasted? The law is unfair and unscientific when it comes to measuring the amount of THC or the chemical in marijuana that gets you high for a DUI conviction. Opponents argue, a driver who smoked a joint last week could still be busted and that would deter legal use. Hey officer! It was last week man I didn't smoke one now, it was last week I think there's a valid point to this though. This could be, this could be a wolf in sheep's clothing Well, I honestly don't believe that is true but i will say this Washington State which has no personal income tax much like Texas

13:24 What are you doing in California? You have a house in Washington. I cover technology, there's nothing in Washington State! Yes Microsoft, you can just be the Microsoft guy. Yeah well that's one crummy company that won't let you into the front door. Amazon. Let me finish the job. Sorry. Amazon. Well it's not a tech company, it's a retailer Anyway, so they rely a lot in Washington State and I keep telling people this. If you're going to visit Washington state pay very careful attention to the speed limit signs and make sure you have a cruise control. And use it. Exactly, right! You will get a ticket they make most of their money off of tickets and here's the way that I was talking to somebody about this the other day here's the way you drive in Washington State you're in if say 60 mile-an-hour zone your going 62 maybe because most cars are over there not adjusted correctly so you always do 62. So you're 62 with the cruise control on It says ahead speedzone 40

14:27 And there'll be, because it's going to pass through a little town or something. So you go at 62-62 and then when you get to the 40 mile an hour sign which is about 1 quarter of a mile away from the warning You slam on the brakes! Yeah... And you skid to a 40 mile an hour speed Because then you drive in 40 and when you get back to 60 but you gun it Right. That's the way everyone drives like that! That's interesting because when we were driving around the country I would pretty much do that you know, you'd be driving on not an interstate but one of those secondary routes and all sudden it would be like okay speed zone change up ahead And it would go from 60 to 45 to 35 to 25 and I would keep doing it You know? I could just see these cops sitting behind a sign in the cartoon

15:16 And I'm sure it's that way in Washington State. Here in Texas though, I still have a taillight out and I've had cops behind me passing me at all hours of the day and night. I haven't had a single problem! Oh you get pulled over with the tail light out in Washington, I guarantee ya? Nah here they like E-Bubba the unit truck that's cool. The unit truck, you're crap! You're alright. Put down the road tail light out. One of the two headlights blinking So here is a lawyer from Washington state who also has an opinion and it's along the same lines that is really

Federal Marijuana Conflict, Workplace Drug Testing

Legal experts clarify that state-level marijuana legalization does not protect employees from being fired for positive drug tests. Despite state victories, the federal government maintains the authority to prosecute marijuana offenses under the Controlled Substances Act. Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper remains a prominent critic of the state's new legalization measure.

federal law· drug testing· colorado· john hickenlooper· supreme court

15:53 We're really not there yet with the legalization of marijuana. This law really did not legalize marijuana, I know people think it did For one employers still have the right to fire workers if they test positive for marijuana in a drug test By the way this makes no sense whoever said that legalizing any drug would allow you to be hammered on the job? Yeah i know this is all specious anti-drug argument to support the old way, which is a corrupt system of illegal drugs sold by criminals on behalf of the government. And it hasn't changed anything with regards to workplace there's no reform there at all you also cannot grow or share the drug You can't be drunk on the job either Diane? This isn't Diane Exactly fire that biatch

16:47 Alright, um... There's no reform there at all. You also cannot grow or share the drug! But that sucks! You can like- Hey man let me have a toke Nooo That's illegal You know, this is a report. This is a bogative report that... Of course! The thing is you've got to get these laws passed you have to push yet they do it step at a time yeah so sure maybe could try to go further with one like in Colorado they did and the biggest opponent of the Colorado law which the public obviously won and Colorado's a bunch of stoners especially in the Boulder and anyway is the governor

17:27 The governor of Colorado, he's like irked about this. I mean what is this guy even doing in office? Okay so well he's probably part of the drug cartel that's why these guys are irked. I don't believe for a second that that the federales are going to leave this alone um...the Obama administration has no other choice but to bust people under federal law because if we truly legalized marijuana in America the economy would come crashing down I don't, i think this is just great idea you think your slaves got something? Is not gonna happen. This lawyer even talks about that If you were to hand me that one ounce of marijuana You'd be committing a delivery Then there's the feds who could take the fight all the way to the supreme court

18:13 They're not overly enamored federally about my business. And yet I'm still open. Supporters say this is more than just one state's right to light up. I love the stoners who listen to them hawking and coughing. They want to see a grassroots movement... And it's all these old dudes with gray hair like, yeah man we got it! And I'm looking like, oh man how sad was that? Hey man! I've been waiting for this moment. I am so sad...I used to cough like that. I had the exact same cough just from cigarettes But anyway, my prediction is this will not hold. People will start getting... They're going to bust people over the head for this This is not going to happen It's certainly not in Colorado Washington State? I don't know Maybe it's like who gives a crap about them hippies up there but Colorado? That's kind of that second home for the government We can't just have that going on in our backyard

CHAPTER 06 / 48 Discussion

Smoking Cessation Side Effects, Gum Recession Anecdote

A personal account describes severe gum recession and dental pain occurring immediately after quitting a long-term smoking habit. A dentist performed an emergency deep cleaning to remove microbes lodged in the receded gums. The narrative serves as a warning to long-term smokers about potential oral health shifts during cessation.

smoking cessation· dentistry· gum disease· oral health· microbes

19:13 So I'm skeptical. In fact, they went over old Democrat too but yeah well anyway at least somebody did it! Yeah They didn't do it in California though because obviously the Koch brothers were behind it! And the Koch brothers... that's funny It's such a mixed metaphor too Yeah I know it's hilarious Koch brothers Anyway so what did you think of how this let me just tell you Miss Mickey and I We stayed home and washed everything. Actually, it was a very bad day for me on an aside since we're talking about smoking I went to see my dentist And remember when I stopped smoking? Remember when I was complaining... Well first I had the eye thing But then like my teeth really hurt. Remember how I told you about that Yeah So guess what happened Your teeth fell out Oh close! So after I stopped smoking My gums immediately started to recede

20:13 Because I guess that... I'm telling you, because I guess it always... I have lots of tooth. Yeah so I guess because your gums are naturally kind of inflamed when you have smoke in your face the whole time and so they receded and that's what was hurting my teeth and the dentist he went in there like oh this is not good! I'm like what? I mean yeah I've stained teeth before but I've never gotten the Oh this is not good And he went, okay well you know we really have to do something here. I'm like so yeah well i have to clean out all the microbes that have now lodged in between your receipt and it's a nasty story in between your receipted gums which is making it you know

20:57 basically rotting your head away it's gonna go to your brain. Oh god! Eat your- There goes the show I know so like no there goes the show man what are you gonna do? So he had to numb me with i think 27 different shots my whole face this is one of these like, im just going to go get my teeth cleaned Hey how ya doin'? He did on the spot he gave you one of those root cleanings or whatever they call them? I mean completely Scraping Well with like a big power washer thing that goes into it And so I was out. But it amazes me we have so many dentists listening to this show, when i stopped smoking where was the warning? Like immediately go to your dentist because your gums are going to recede and you need... Well now we have our Dentite Knight! Yeah thanks a lot Greg who will have to report in

21:49 We have several nights and I'm surprised that no one said, hey man you know. I was complaining on the show! How do you think it's that common? Most people stop smoking they don't end up with gum disease the next day Well i've been smoking for 30 years It seems like there might be... If my eyes went somebody could have put two and two together Your eyes are back Well kinda yeah Anyways So uh Ms Mickey was like this is just a warning to all your kids out there That's right So Miss Mickey was like, oh this is so boring. And then luckily we found Diane Sawyer and that made the night... I was like you know the Dvorak Consulting Group could do a much better job on making this election night show more exciting. Oh CNN was unwatchable with their idiotic maps and click-and-tap and zoom and it's like watching someone use an iPad all day. That's boring

MSNBC Election Coverage, Chris Matthews Commentary

Chris Matthews criticized voters who supported third-party candidates like Gary Johnson and Jill Stein, claiming they do not understand the American political system. Matthews faced backlash for referring to President Obama as having an "African guy" background and suggesting Hurricane Sandy was a positive political development.

chris matthews· msnbc· rachel maddow· third party candidates· hurricane sandy

22:42 So what so did you get they were not boring was the horrible coverage on MSNBC with Rachel Maddow of all people being the anchor, you know stand-up comic anchor And it's like, uh... I couldn't watch her. With Chris Matthews and Al Sharpton and Ed Schultz! He was like the idiot club! So I have the clip of Chris Matthews. Before you do that, can I just... Sorry? I want to play a clip from before election night from Chris Matthews Okay, and then I give you free reign. This is what he said in the afternoon Which just like oh my this is why I couldn't watch MSNBC All night long But if you don't vote I dont want to talk to you And if you vote for one of these numbskull third or fourth party candidates like Gary Johnson or Jill Steinstein and say Oh! I was so surprised at what happened No You shouldn't be because idiots like you voted for third and fourth party candidates, and they don't know how this system works You have two choices Chris Matthews

23:43 You have two choices. What an a-hole! Holy crap! What an A-hole, you don't know how the system works slave! You can't vote for third or fourth party... The system works, you vote for who you want to win No that's not how the system works It's not how it WORKS! That's not how it WORKS! What an a-hole! That actually, that clip is actually better than mine Um Well uh We'll see that as a may I'l be the judge of that So here's Chris Matthews, bumbling moron who knows how the system works apparently going on and on about how great he wraps up the Rachel Maddow show with his little commentary in there. He makes two incredible gaffes and then he says it was great that the storm happened Rachel goes don't do that oh no what I meant waas but now tell me if you can find the 2 gaffes uh-huh that he makes

24:35 this in this you'll I mean the one of them would totally obvious the second ones that think a little harder to spot well let me let me just close my thoughts tonight it takes a half a second. I am so proud of the country to reelect this president and overcoming not because of the partisanship or any of even the policies just the fact here's an African guy, African-American guy from unusual background I like that one. Part immigrant background, part African-American background with all this assault on him from day one for Mitch McConnell Wait a minute what is this part immigrant part Afri... What is he? That's it! That was the other guy Oh my god! What do you mean immigrant?! He was born in the United States how can be an immigrant Although I will say I thought it was

25:20 really fun and then should we play the rest of the clip before you? Yeah, because the rest of it has a part about this storm. By the way I think people getting worked up about the storm detracted from the African comment The clowns out there that aren't elected never will be to anything and the way he took it as somebody said with coolness and charm and dignity just took it in took it kept moving forward doing his job And the American people, and I know we look at these percentages 40% of white vote. Fine! That's about right among Democrats in the last couple cycles three cycles or four good work for them good work for him a good day for America i'm so glad we had that storm last week because

25:59 Because I think the storm was one of those things. No, politically I should say not in terms of hurting people The storm brought in possibilities for good politics. Yeah, the whole African thing is funny because the next day on CNN here's what Soledad O'Brien did. Let's get right to David McKenzie he's live in Kenya for us this morning taking a look at how the president's ancestral family was reacting Hey David So they're going live to Kenya! Like put it in their face that's funny Well that's actually funnier than the ones topping each other Yeah listen China

CNN Election Math, Statistical Reporting Errors

A CNN broadcast featured a reporter struggling to explain precinct numbers, repeatedly using the phrase "exactly similar" to describe disparate voting data. The segment highlights perceived incompetence in mainstream media's real-time statistical analysis of the 2012 election.

cnn· election results· mark coakley· statistical analysis· voting precincts

28:29 No, no. So what you're talking about CNN? You know to finish that clip it's just a guy rambling yeah so they had some idiot on and I want you to play this this is the classic and by the way they've also come up with a new meme now tell you what the meme is its exactly similar each candidate desperately wants to win this county which is stop before you play that You better take out a pen and piece of paper and write down the numbers. Because he's going to throw a bunch of numbers out Really? And you have to write them down to realize that this is unbelievable Okay, hold on a second Should I rewind or are we okay from here? Ah! You can rewind if you want No i'm not gonna And they trust me enough here the elections officials To give me the raw numbers for some of the precincts There 93 precincts A handful have now reported And I wanna analyze it a little bit with two top bosses here This Mark Coakley who's the general registrar

29:23 Ann Marie Middlesworth, the deputy. And what's interesting about these numbers they're very similar to 2008 numbers when Barack Obama won here for example here in this precinct Mitt Romney 1096 votes Barack Obama 824 votes this is the West End Precinct how does that compare to 2008? I had a 1078 votes for Obama and 746 votes I mean sorry for Obama and 1058 for McCain. Okay so it's almost exactly similar percentage, i actually calculated before. Uh what? Okay 1096 and 824 todays numbers that's Obama 1096 And the numbers last time were 1078 for Obama and 1058 for McCain and those are exactly similar according to this guy because he did the math It is exactly the same

30:13 Sounds the same to me. Now he uses the term exactly similar a second time which I have on the second because it's very short just want to emphasize He said this over and over again exactly similar. Looking four years ago 68 to 48 Republican today almost exactly similar The reason that possibly, I emphasize possibly may bode well so far for Barack Obama This is good. This is New World Order double-speak man Good call! Good one Exactly similar you know what? I give it to you today Exactly similar. That's a show title actually exactly similar Wow and people do you know people at home going like that's right? It's exactly similar

30:58 Exactly similar. This is CNN at work! Alright, so I have to say that... Can i get into my theory and thesis here on the elections? You think we're... Yeah go for it, I'm all ears. Already got clip of the day, now I'm on my resting. You're good right you're done. You're done. I'm good. So this was a this election was actually a call back to Eisenhower and we had our Patsy, and we had our Schill. And this was one big show... ...and it has nothing to do with how America actually voted So first I will take you back to the days of the UNIVAC The UNIVAC was made by the Rand Corporation and it was used in the... who was it? It was... Actually Remington Rand was the... Remington Rand

CHAPTER 10 / 48 Discussion

Nate Silver, UNIVAC Election Prediction Comparison

Nate Silver's 2012 election predictions are compared to the 1952 UNIVAC computer's landslide prediction for Eisenhower. Silver, writing for The New York Times, utilized a computer program designed four years prior to forecast a 75% chance of an Obama victory.

nate silver· univac· remington rand· statistical modeling· new york times

31:48 It was in the Eisenhower against who was it back in the day then John? I think it became the Sperry Univac during that era. Yeah but who was at Eisenhower and Adlai Stevenson's Was it Stevenson, I think it was. It was always Stevenson both times And so we had a very similar situation where the political analysts and pundits now this was the beginning of television coverage of elections they were all you know they had they they had all the numbers completely different And the UNIVAC actually predicted Eisenhower by an enormous landslide. As it turned out, it was like 300... No! It was like 500 electoral votes to 38 or something. It really was an outrageous landslide and here's a quick report on it. This is the face of a UNIVAC

32:39 Laughable now, groundbreaking then. I don't know. I think that UNIVAC is probably an honest machine, a good deal more honest than a lot of commentators who are working and he doesn't think he's got enough to tell us anything about yet... But UNIVAC did have something to say with not even three-and-a-half million votes counted He predicted 100 to 1 odds of an Eisenhower victory in a landslide so huge it seemed impossible given what had been thought to be a close race

33:19 The results were withheld for several hours CBS and the machines makers fearing humiliation So that is just a little background on how it played out and how we had the numbers versus the pundits so this this year We had this blogger This blogger for The New York Times And it was very interesting to see this meme of this guy Nate silver is his name, and he's like He's a total pocket pen, you know pen pocket protector and just really total full-on geek. And he came out with his models and his predictions in his numbers and he said nope it's gonna be a big win for Obama 75% Obama is going to win! This was a real discussion some blogger yes for the New York Times but he doesn't even write in the paper

34:12 He has a blog and he's like, well this is not true. I knew it was going to happen! And there was big conversation. All the Republicans were talking about it Here's little bit of the report about this Nate guy Now listen carefully to what he says Politics is a people full of people who are trained to manipulate the way that we view information. So when they see information, they don't like and we're publishing it based on our computer program that was designed four years ago. So he designed the computer program four years ago? So essentially when the Obama administration got in and they decided hey We've gotta come up with a great scam to ruin this thing again in 4 years That's when you started this program

34:58 every day, they're going to become very very upset. They can't manipulate what my computer says." Oh no? Really? That's impossible huh okay... What is he talking about?! He's talking about that he has some special magic sauce that he pulls in the same data everybody else has but his models come out and show that the president is going to win against him because everyone was saying close race close race close race close to call and he was like no, no not at all. This is another UNIVAC moment Or a stat head headed for a fall. The election is Tuesday, how many more posts? Nate Silver has become the numbers geek. Pundits love to hate particularly Republican pundits. Nate Silver says this is a 73.6% chance that... So you had all these Republican pundits on television talking about this guy and who gives a crap! It's like it's real easy

CHAPTER 11 / 48 Discussion

Election Fraud Theory, Karl Rove Fox News Performance

A theory is proposed that the 2012 election was a "show" where the Republican establishment allowed Mitt Romney to lose to clear the path for Jeb Bush in 2016. Megyn Kelly's comments about rehearsing segments suggest that Karl Rove's on-air "meltdown" regarding Ohio's results may have been scripted.

karl rove· fox news· megyn kelly· election fraud· jeb bush

35:54 You and I can say the same. It's like it's gonna be guy A or guy B. Yeah, why did we get so much? This is obviously a publicity stunt that's well orchestrated. Ah thank you! Now you're seeing the point So here's what i believe happened There was a flip of probably 8-9-10 million votes I'm convinced that Romney thought he had it sewn up... ...it was in the bag He didn't have a concession speech They had a transition website The whole thing they're good to go And just as we have always said, his own party sold him out. He had Republicans and Democrats flip the votes—now there's a number of ways that this may have happened but I think election fraud if you really have the people on board is possible—but you can't do it with just one party.

36:46 Hey, screw it. We're not letting this guy win. We want Jeb Bush in 2016 and that's why we had this real... So we had this guy the Patsy and then we have Karl Rove the actor who is like oh he has to put on a little show on Fox. Here are just some snippets of him being outraged how the counting is going this is acting this guy knew about it his job was to get used to get jeb bush in the white house and two thousand sixteen not mit romney just listen to a police have not really you went through this in two thousand he almost went through it two thousand four do you believe that ohio has been settled now i don't know if they're not saying that obama isn't going well here does any of us are yes i think this is premature we got seven we've got a quarter of the vote under cmc carlson but

37:32 If you look at some of these counties that are still left out there, there are votes a lot of those left for Obama. I don't know what the outcome is going to be but we got to be careful about calling things when we have like 991 votes separating the two candidates and 1 quarter vote yet to count Well folks... So maybe not so fast! Thanks a lot! So this went back and forth between Left and Right And then The Left Wing Media was saying Carl Rove had a meltdown, a nervous breakdown. No he didn't have a nervous breakdown it was just doing some bad acting and how do we know it was acting because Megyn Kelly actually says that they rehearsed this whole thing during the day. They used to keep them right here. Here she is now walking from the set all the way to the back where they have the decision room and then she'll literally say they rehearse this. In the studio and for some reason whoa careful! Then for some reason they moved him down the hall

38:30 Too close. And now she says to the camera guy, you're too close because you can look up my nostrils We were thinking this wouldn't be necessary but mmm as it turns out It was in the script Megan shut up You can see this is uh these are sort of all the folks behind-the-scenes who have been watching the program from back here Hi guys Arthur Idalla decided to join. They're way down the hall so we'll do a little interrogation and see if they stand by their call notwithstanding the doubts that Karl Rove has attempted to place keep coming here we go now when we practice this before are we oh there's the beautiful Jenna Lee uh when we practice this before

39:16 In our rehearsals, we lost all audio in our ears. Yeah so how spontaneous was this little walk she did? Holy crap what is she thinking?! Well she's an idiot obviously! She totally totally messed this I think she says it again... Right about here yeah that's happening again but... Where the producer is saying shut up shut up don't talk about the rehearsal!! She probably lost the IFB So it is my belief So this was rehearsed. Now, by the way just to back you up a little bit there was I don't know if you've watched the video but there's been more and more evidence pouring in but there is this terrific Fox video of a woman getting a ticket

39:57 That was recorded by a school bus guy. Oh yeah, I don't have the clip but I did see it yes. Rehearsed! Totally rehearsed video. It's not rehearsed but they show it twice and the second time there is a new car... There is different car in the picture. Bring in another one on this side. They can't even get it right. They suck at this and this is Fox? Bringing movie people in. But let us remember that we have always said the Democrats control Fox and now they have Richard Murdoch, Rupert Murdoch or Ralph Murdoch completely blackmailed because of all the phone tapping. This was set up John I'm absolutely

40:33 Absolutely believe this was set up and the American people got duped votes were flipped around I really Really think that Romney had the numbers sewn up And if you listen to all this bullcrap about numbers, and how did it happen? But that his own party sold him out so we can have a Hillary Clinton Jeb Bush 2016. I call this entire election one big show-and-scam Okay, so let me try say what I think. And now, I'll agree with the we've already discussed the idea that nobody wanted to this judge no Republican one of this job exactly Romney didn't was gonna lose yeah we make people said well you guys produce Obama wasn't gonna win know he predicted bomb was going to get out in the race and this is about a year ago and then when he didn't weave it was

CHAPTER 12 / 48 Discussion

Political Fundraising Scam, Election Polling Manipulation

The 2012 election is characterized as a financial operation designed to maximize contributions by maintaining the appearance of a close race. While Nate Silver's models showed a consistent Obama lead, media outlets and pollsters allegedly suppressed this reality to continue "soaking" donors for $30,000-a-plate dinners.

campaign finance· nate silver· gallup polls· bbc· election cycle

41:21 obvious that he was going to win. And it turns out he actually did consider quitting, I mean that's not public knowledge. Exactly and i think that Obama actually did win without anybody fooling around uh... to any extreme although they seem to have this time now more convinced than ever with some latest reports about the Benghazi thing that was obviously I mean is getting more and more confirmed there was a kidnapping attempt by government right anyway But the whole thing about this, everyone says oh the polls are real close and then Nate Silver and other people go, they're not close. In fact there's a Obama pollster that came out later who was gloating over the fact that he always had Obama ahead and it was all bull crap nobody was talking about it

42:06 We cannot forget the fact that this was a big money election designed to soak contributors. You had to keep the election close when it wasn't ever going to be closed because you had to soak both the Democrats and the Republicans who contribute to this with $30,000 a plate dinners and contributions and five dollars on the website and everything in between so you could extract as much money from them as you could possibly extract. So it was down to the wire until... well never was down to the wire but that was the scam. Okay I'll buy that too. I like my conspiracy better but i think yours is probably more based on reality

42:50 So it was all a scam then. So what you're saying is Nate Silver is awesome, by the way- He's not awesome he was just him and a million other guys! What kind of model did they have? I saw at the presentation on the BBC that showed just based on what happened in 2008 and what could possibly happen if everything went Romney's way there was no way he could win Okay alright But then so then the Karl Rove acting is still acting The whole Fox thing was acting Yeah, well they said she said that we rehearsed it. That's horrible! What is she thinking? Buzzkill Jr says here Nate Silver is a cool dude I used to correspond with him back in college his magic ingredient was internet comments and his special sauce as a deep distrust of Gallup polls though in all likelihood Here's the Dvorak part of him given how commercial he is He probably sold out completely when he got hired by The New York Times Good work Buzzkill jr

CHAPTER 13 / 48 Discussion

Romney Concession Speech, NATO New Threats

Mitt Romney's concession speech is analyzed for perceived undertones regarding the President's family. Meanwhile, NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen congratulated Obama while making cryptic references to "new threats" and "new capabilities" facing the alliance.

mitt romney· anders fogh rasmussen· nato· acceptance speech· security

43:49 Straight from the horse's mouth. There you go, we're connected! So uh... let me do a little- I found Romney's concession speech to be somewhat threatening You know, I have to be honest about it. I was riveted to Obama's campaign speech... Oh! I'm sorry. His acceptance speech which was a campaign speech What is this guy going to do for the next four years? You know what? I sat there and had tears. This is great He did that so well He does it so well. I thought the speech was horrible. Obite in 2016, that's what i'm saying! Here is Romney threatening the president

44:32 I have just called President Obama to congratulate him on his victory. His supporters and his campaign also deserve congratulations. I wish all of them well, but particularly the president, the first lady and their daughters." Now did he just say that he wished all of them well? Particularly you your family your daughters? I wish you well! I thought that was threatening. You're right, I wish them all well particularly you! That's threatening to me. Yeah I can see where you'd interpret that. Don't walk outside...that's not a good idea Especially your daughter is your family And here is the NATO Secretary General Rasmussen congratulating the President with some interesting new information

45:21 I extend my warm congratulations to President Obama on his re-election as President of the United States. The transatlantic bond on which NATO was founded remains as important as ever for peace and security, and President Obama has shown great leadership in keeping it strong. I look forward to continuing our close cooperation with President Obama so that NATO remains effective in a fast-changing world against new threats with new capabilities. What new threats? What new threats are we getting? New threats... Wow, that's a good catch! And we have new capabilities apparently. New threats and new capabilities out of the blue Just so you know it's coming New Threats, New Capabilities You heard it here first on The No Agenda Show From Drekker... New Threats I mean like wow okay

46:17 I mean the guy's almost like, hey we got new threats! New threats. I'm so happy about new threats.

Rush Limbaugh Career, Fairness Doctrine History

Rush Limbaugh's success is attributed to the 1987 repeal of the Fairness Doctrine under the Reagan administration. While Limbaugh is often called a genius, credit is given to his original syndicators, Ron Hartenbaum and Gary Schoenfeld, for recognizing the market potential for conservative talk radio.

rush limbaugh· fairness doctrine· ron hartenbaum· gary schoenfeld· wabc

1:01:12 Yeah, that I hate the way in the middle of the meal is usually a sherbet you know it sometimes like this like some sappy Like ears no listen at the beginning as well. That's the bullcrap at the beginning though This is always in the middle Oh, okay? I liked the sorbit But I don't like to oyster like here's some oyster snot chef made for you. Thanks. That's really special So Rush Limbaugh went out on a limb, you know People are gonna be surprised Surprised at how Romney is gonna easily win he went on and on You know the curse of dissuasion his audience so I had to just clip his opening The next day does see how he'd handle this on the show And I have to say it's got a good sense of humor. But but you know it wasn't play it was yeah play it

1:02:00 Broadcasting from high atop the WABC broadcast center overlooking Madison Square Garden in Midtown Manhattan. This is New York City most listened to talk show host Rush Limbaugh Hey, any of you guys in there want to come sit my chair today? Anybody? Nobody wants to come sit on my chair here? None of you?! I'm giving you a golden opportunity to speak to what 50 million people I can handle it, okay. Nobody wants to come sit in my chair! That guy's a dick It's not interesting...it's not funny...I mean i've known this guy for a long long time we had the same syndicators Media America that's how we started and you know my two business partners at my very first company they syndicated Rush Limbaugh and the guys just he just got really really lucky with

1:02:57 Just a blowhard attitude. And you know, now you're missing it was and it wasn't like he was the top bull crap. He's a tight was a top 40 disc jockey who just decided to go on this complete right now? Yes, yes I know this guy. He was a disc jockey. You don't let me finish When they changed the law in 1987, when Reagan pulled back on the Fairness Act he says that's bullcrap let's get rid of it even though it was the Republicans who put it in actually to keep Roosevelt off the air. The day they pulled that off he was on the air within months! He was the first guy to pick up on the fact that now you could do a show like this for that alone... That's why he is worth 400 million bucks Nobody... It took years before anybody figured out what he was up too

1:03:46 So in 19... And I don't see how you could fault a guy for, it's like change in law. You say wait a minute I can take advantage of this and he did! Sorry you're incorrect It was his syndicators who took advantage of it They are the ones that saw it and they literally picked him out of the po-dunk Out of cow dung and they put him on and said do it like this because I know how this went down He is not a genius Ron Hartenbaum and Gary Schoenfeld are the geniuses who came up with this idea. And they had the hardest time, by the way for years trying to sell him to AT&T and to Canon and anyone who would listen. They got a big piece of his butt, of his big scary ass

1:04:32 Those are the geniuses Rush Limbaugh is not a genius. All right, well I'll look into these and I'm not jealous of his money You can't be just nice zero-sum game it's not like it comes out our pocket No, he's not asking for donations But you said at like four hundred million dollars Like that school or something? And I think it's did I would hate to have to be him for I don't care how much money Well, he's because we don't hear you know, you don't hear him having a ham QSO Do ya know now he having no fun That's a good point about the ham license. He should have one. Donald Trump was on the stick as well during the election results Now let's talk about a post-election tweet that is getting a lot of attention online I love this report just because... Can you stop clipping the pen? It's so annoying!

Donald Trump Twitter Revolution, Marc Faber Economic Outlook

Donald Trump faced criticism for tweets calling for a "revolution" following the 2012 election results. Financial analyst Marc Faber, speaking from Thailand, expressed surprise that the S&P 500 did not drop 50% upon Obama's re-election, citing concerns over excessive debt and central bank money printing.

1:05:32 Hey, I quit. Yeah okay well i'll put this pin- I gotta get a pin without a clicker on it! Now after Obama's win, Donald Trump blew up on Twitter calling for a revolution over the quote sham election. Now he tweeted he lost the popular vote by a lot and won the election we should have a revolution in this country Trump later deleted that tweet then people started tweeting about that deletion He also tweeted We can't let this happen! We should march on Washington and stop this travesty Our nation is totally divided now Myung-Mae tweets just kept going on and on and on Now here it comes now, so you see understand. He tweeted something dumb deleted it and then started retweeting and what who gives a crap but here's here's what the population says. Angry on Twitter and they're firing back a lot of people are saying they're gonna boycott Trump show The Apprentice Oh right sure change your Twitter icon to no more Trump and don't watch The Apprentice I guarantee that he's gonna have super high numbers you stupid stupid slaves

Marc Faber, Central Bank Debt Criticism

Economist Marc Faber predicts that President Obama may not finish his second term due to potential scandals. He argues that Ben Bernanke's interest rate policies enable endless debt escalation, which will eventually cause the cost of living to outpace income gains in the Western world.

1:07:23 Well, first of all I'm surprised that on the re-election of Mr. Obama the S&P is only down like 30 points. I would have thought that the market on his re-election should be down at least 50%. But not that I would think... 50%? Yes! I think Mr. Obama is a disaster for business, he's a disaster for the United States. Are you sure that he is not an former Nazi in Argentina? He might be! Not that Mr. Romney would be much better...

1:08:01 But I think the Republicans, they understand the problem of excessive debt better than Mr. Obama who basically doesn't care about piling up debt and you also have in the background Mr. Bernanke that with artificially low interest rates enables the debt to essentially escalate endlessly Okay That actually the clip I wanted to play was the other one so let's... but that was a good clip and now the clip that really got my attention is the second clip by this guy. And to portray them as profiteer of the system which, to some extent they are not because they wanted too but Mr Bernanke enabled him to be profiteers Now we have a situation where

1:08:55 You have today Mr. Obama, I doubt he will stay at the presidency for another four years as in there'll be so many scandals but anyway that's another story. Why do you think that President Obama wouldn't make it four more years? Well i mean you know there is so much smoke... I suppose there is some fire and uh..I just doubt That's my observation But we don't know how the world will look in five years time. I'm pretty sure central banks will continue to print money and that standards of living for people in the Western world, not just in America will continue to decline because the cost-of-living increases will exceed eventually income gains." You know...I have a jingle for this guy. One second

1:09:57 I'm telling you, I'm telling you. You think he has a... I can't even do his voice. Hold on a second, I'm seeing if i can find it because its probably located in some other- I know who your thinking of that other guy who's uh where is the bow tie? No yeah no that's the guy- He lives in Southeast Asia too Yeah hes another naysayer now this guys new to me. Now this is the guy im thinking of here. Comic strip, comic strip, comic strip vlog Yeah, exactly that guy. It's exactly a comic strip blogger! Yo... I'm telling you it's him! That's a good one. Now that you mention it we can have Comic Strip Blogger do this guy's voice. Just have him call in and say some stuff and record it

Benghazi Investigation, Military Command Changes

State Department spokesperson Victoria Nuland faced questioning from reporter Matt Lee regarding the Benghazi Accountability Review Board. Senator John McCain called for a select committee to investigate the attacks, amid reports of high-level military commanders like General Carter Ham and Brigadier General Jeffrey Sinclair being removed from their posts.

benghazi· victoria nuland· john mccain· jeffrey sinclair· carter ham

1:10:51 Well, so there is a lot of smoke surrounding the president and this smoke immediately was blown in everyone's face as we came back after the election. And my favorite television show which I always watch you can find it at video dot state dot gov Victoria Newland in a really ugly looking chiffon sweater And here's our buddy Matt from Reuters. So now that the election is over, the president has safely been re-elected you're going to answer all of our questions about Benghazi? Or is that too much to hope for? I think you know where we are We have an ARB running and the ARB will hopefully answer all of our questions.

1:11:33 What specifically did you have in mind, Matt? Any of the questions that you've been asked over the past several weeks that you refused to answer. And we have tied that to the fact that we have an ARB running it was never tied to the election. Oh I think some people thought it was. I love you man! I really love that guy So he's going to stay on that because of course this is a real problem and there is still one guy out there, one lone douchebag trying to get it all done. His name? He's McCain. But we are seeing an anger level amongst the veterans about this Benghazi thing that I have never seen before. I wanted to ask you about that Senator. You actually called...you want a special committee set up

1:12:18 to investigate the Benghazi attacks and you called for that this weekend. Talk about that We just have to have a select committee like we had with Watergate, Duran Contra and those I mean there's just too many conflicting stories There is too much back and forth, different sources. And you know four brave Americans did die and that really requires that level of involvement. I have to say i've received so many emails from service men and women, and not just American but also our buddy over there Alexander in the Netherlands. They are so angry about all these generals and admirals being detained you know taken out of command I mean it's crazy! And there was another guy that they're railroading... hold on a second what was his

1:13:13 They're putting him on some kind of... here it is, General what's his name? We got a lot of notes including people saying that they were told to stand down at the point of a gun. Which of course all lines up with the theory that there was a kidnapping that was carefully orchestrated and failed which is very much like the gun running that Holder's boys did. Yeah, well it was a failed another failed scam yeah there was foisted on the American public and they still won't get to the bottom of it because you know I guess the Congress should just

1:13:51 tired of brow beating him in the presence i can do anything and they don't have the guts to indite him i mean they have put them under uh... big game of my censorship what we are censored incentives for a sense you were really glad for what they did but it's been said indicate he popped a knuckle wrapping It didn't do any good, I mean it was just a scam. But Holder is like... One guy was killed by the incumbent bumbling this time you killed an ambassador and a bunch of SEALS? Come on! What i've heard what i've heard Is that there were a number of high-level commanders who were really starting to seriously consider a coup

1:14:32 and really, you know mutiny against what's going on. And one of them is this army Brigadier General Jeffrey Sinclair who now they've thrown into the brig on... There's your pen again! On forced sodomy charges. Sorry That's okay Forced sodomy charges? Okay So they're just rolling these guys What he's a general Brigadier General Yeah, forced sodomy yeah On who Some unfortunate recruits, I guess. Boy! Get in here! I'm gonna show you the army way But you know this... but to have to... so we have General Ham He took him down Did that happen? Like while they're on active patrol out there in the Middle East That's unheard of This is unheard-of stuff And people are angry and I'm getting emails You must be getting emails as well People like wow this is We've never seen this happen before

1:15:33 But no, no worries because we threw that... the writer of the anti-Islamic film in the... We threw him into prison. Well that didn't fly! No it's like... Because we spotted it immediately with not to brag but It was such a farce that the uh I don't know what they're thinking, they just don't have very good writers in the White House. They didn't have a backup plan and thought it would all go smoothly. They had Argo the movie which would totally mind control everybody into the high-del...

Nixon Watergate Comparison, Election Paranoia

The 2012 election atmosphere is compared to the Nixon era, where paranoia persisted despite a likely landslide victory. The "plumbers" and the Watergate break-in are cited as examples of unnecessary risks taken by an administration that already held the numbers.

richard nixon· watergate· election polls· political paranoia· plumbers

1:16:09 taking the call back to the Iranian situation based on a true story, we would have the exact same thing happening and it turned out it wasn't even necessary. No and here's the real irony of this, the last president who quit in disgrace was Nixon who also was freaked out about not getting re-elected and did this, you know the plumbers of course he was set up too. What was the plumbers thing? Oh you mean the Watergate? They broke into that Watergate apartment hotel complex and they bugged the Democratic National Committee offices it's very famous but it was before your time no I've heard of it anyway so Nixon freaks out because and you know he thinks is going to not get a real... He got landslide re-election he was at least as

1:16:59 better than Obama did. So these guys are so freaky because I think at some point, you know about the game that we're going to keep the polls tight so we can get as much money as possible? You know the game but you keep hearing over and over how tight the election is, and Romney could win. And even though you know that polls are rigged you still start disbelieving it when they do you start saying to yourself as a paranoid would like Nixon would be in all these guys you just paranoia say wait a minute maybe they're tricking me this is a tight race

Fiscal Cliff, Austin Tech Real Estate

Professional traders on "Fast Money" anticipate a market decline as the "fiscal cliff" approaches. In Austin, Texas, the "Capital Factory" is highlighted as a successful real estate model where angel investors rent out expensive cubicles and desks to startups.

fiscal cliff· gold· austin texas· capital factory· angel investors

1:17:39 So what do you think, now the news media will basically... we got until the inauguration and all that but I guess what are we going to talk about now? Is it going to be fiscal cliff is that all we'll be hearing about for the next two months Yeah, pretty much. That's the stock market as it starts to collapse before the fiscal cliff Now here is my scenario I would actually have some... I may have a clip here Oh we love scenarios Can I have half of a scenario please? I'll give you a scenario and a half Here are the doomsayers on one of my favorite stock market shows called Fast Money These are all professional traders They talk real fast too

1:18:25 but here's what they're thinking about the market as of yesterday. Again, I think you're in a pretty defined range it feels awful today and it is...I think we will go lower from here at some point but until that happens you trade the range that I think were in right now and I'll say again I think where this 1379 range which I think will touch and obviously 1400 quarter on the upside has been resistance for a few weeks We'll talk about more later but you have to look at out-of-the blocks You know that taxes are going up Right on.

1:19:21 Gold is up another 12 today 20 bucks in two days. Hey, hey golds. Hey, yeah gold is what it is Yeah, that's the best thing I've ever invested in ever ever Well, and invest a lot of time in this show should have bought some real estate when you're in your day Well, I did but I had to sell it when I got poor well That was should have been a better investment than gold no Because it sold leveraged No, it's a leveraged investment. So I mean when you make money in real estate you're making 5x Yeah the amount of money and put you know there's a great real estate thing going on here in Austin Oh Austin's booming well we yeah We should be doing this so there's this um It's called the capital factory And this is a bunch of angel guys You know like angel investors, and they rented out the top floor of the Omni if you really with the omni in in Austin

1:20:17 I like half hotel and half business. So they got yeah, they have something similar to that in Atlanta right so they got the top floor and it's like 27 thousand square feet have no idea how big it is And so they have like all these angel investors, you know maybe they've put five grand in there or ten or very small amounts. But then they rent out desks wait chairs? Desks, cubicles monthly So it's a hundred and seventy-five bucks for a chair per month. So you could be there as a scam business really low priced! And you have all of the angel investors who will advise you

1:21:03 So but you know people are paying $750 for a cubicle per month. These guys got to be raking in the dough! We can do this! Come on, John. The Curry Dvorak Consulting Angel Group Get your cubicles here! Yeah! The nice cubicles with stand-up desks so you don't have to buy him a chair. It's great! Stand up desks are healthy Yeah, when we move... We have to move because we're gonna get kicked out of here in February I'm getting...I'm doing it. I'm going do a stand-up desk for the studio and really tired sitting on my ass You're gonna do the podcast stand-up? Yep For sure. Yeah. It changes the energy of this show I think it'll be a good thing Could not be I don't know. I mean we had to find out might be terrible

Khat Drug Discussion, Weight Loss Potential

The herbal stimulant khat, common in Yemen and East Africa, is discussed regarding its legal status and potential as a weight-loss aid. A client of a prominent attorney reportedly served a year in jail for possessing 40 pounds of the substance, which is classified as a Schedule 1 drug in the U.S.

khat· yemen· schedule 1 drug· weight loss· amphetamine

1:21:53 My legs are killing me! Three hours standing. Lots of emails about our cot discussion, which I remember saying during the show... Cot? Yeah you said it's cat and i said isn't it cot? Oh its got Nooo You know somebody some did she get the note from the guy who was married to a Yemen woman he says his spell is pronounced got hello g-h-a-t South Yemenese South Yemenese married to South Yemenese yeah So a lot of people are now checking in and saying, wow you know yeah we've heard about this. And some people saying please don't have Ms. Mickey bring it back that could be a bad experience when coming back into the country. Thanks for that but I want to try this now this schedule one drug

1:22:43 They must have it in Austin. But apparently, so I talked to Tony the Terrorist after our show and he says that one of his other clients got busted He had... they're called bunches? You buy it in a bunch Yeah looks like they have pictures of them on the internet It's like these bunches I don't see how anyone could identify this as anything other than a bunch of herbs Looks like lawn clippings Well you said that this client who got busted and went to jail for a year Had 40 pounds of it Really? Yeah, but you can grow it yourself. It apparently grows quite well in California I think you probably grow it until there's a lot of farms that grow it I guess it's the pseudo amphetamine of some sort to get y'all wired up But it says a weight loss thing This is what I still think the way potential is once the public which do I think they want to suppress the information Once the crazy fat public

CHAPTER 25 / 48 Discussion

TAPI Pipeline, Afghanistan Oil Production

Bangladesh has expressed interest in joining the TAPI gas pipeline, which connects Turkmenistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India. Afghanistan has officially begun commercial oil production at the Angot field, with the crude being sent to China for processing, highlighting the geopolitical motivations behind U.S. involvement in the region.

tapi pipeline· bangladesh· afghanistan· china· hillary clinton

1:23:42 Finds out that you can chew on this stuff and get more energy and lose weight It's gold mine That's funny. And note came out today, and all of a sudden a lot of things Popped into place for me Bangladesh keen to join four nation gas pipeline and of course the foreign nation gas pipeline which one is that I Well, that would be the Bangladeshi one. Is that a gas prom line? No no it would be the TAPI so that's the Turkmenistan Afghanistan Pakistan India pipeline So they want to join and then I'm like let me just go take a look at where Bangladesh is on the map Oh my god What is it right next to you don't know either and it's okay because I have to top of my head Burma

1:24:39 Oh, right. So they needed the so you know the Chinas they got there because of course Burma is the next. So you have Pakistan India Bangladesh I'm going from left to right Burma and then you're in China. So the Chiners have been over there with their own little pipeline we had Lucifer go hang out and he's had a little lesbian moment with the woman over there in Burma Myanmar like oh she's so awesome and kiss kiss hug hug That was so obvious because we're going to bring the gas all the way from Turkmenistan through Afghanistan, through Pakistan, through India, through Bangladesh, through Myanmar slash Burma and we're gonna be there saying hey Chinas you might as well get it from us.

1:25:26 And to back that up, here's a report about Afghani oil and gas which was very interesting to me. According to 2011 report by the World Bank 97% of Afghanistan's gross domestic product drives from military spending or donor funding this mean it is really crucial for the Afghan government to begin to exploit estimated 9 billion US dollars per year that could come from all reserves A recent U.S Geological Survey estimates the country holds as much as 1.9 billion barrels of undiscovered crude oil reserves if oil prices stay stable that means Afghanistan could eventually earn more than 9 billion per year half of the country's 2011 GDP from oil and today we begin the commercial production from the Angat field

1:26:12 And in Angad there are four operating wells. This is the Minister of Mines, and so they've just started exploiting this $9 billion a year mini bonanza of oil in Afghanistan and where's it going? Every day the production from Angad would be around 700 barrels and from the 15th of November, this drilling rig, you can see they are drilling there. The well. And from the 15th of November... Every day they will begin the oil production from this area, which is called Kashgar area. And every day they will be producing or extracting 1400 barrels of crude." The crude oil extracted will then send to China to be processed by local refineries and from there it will be sold to the international market. We really have no shame do we?

1:27:07 We just invade Afghanistan and then sell it to the China's. This is what's going on people you think that Lucifer Hillary Clippity-Clopped just showed up in Burma Just because she thought the the chick there was hot no It's for this to connect everything and when I saw Bangladesh like ah yeah, you don't think about Bangladesh I know I think about Didn't The Beatles do a show in Bangladesh or something? Yeah, for the floods I think. That's all I can remember but now you look at it like it is between India and Burma and then Burma you're in China! Bing! It's all about oil people nothing else that's why the president has a Chinese half-brother. Haha, Chinese... I could be wrong So uh..I have a real news story Oh well then you're gonna have to reset yourself because did what did you just do? While was playing that were you looking at porn

CHAPTER 26 / 48 Discussion

Superstorm Sandy, Nor'easter Weather Reporting

A secondary nor'easter brought snow and sleet to areas already devastated by Superstorm Sandy. Media coverage of the weather is criticized for using overly dramatic alliteration and metaphors, such as "blowing snow into Sandy's open wounds."

superstorm sandy· nor'easter· ginger zee· weather reporting· manhattan

1:28:03 No, I wasn't doing anything. Oh you went up an octave? I went up an octave?! I love a parade! The sound of the drums... Okay hang on. The problem is when i do this it never really resets right. You have to go and reset everything. I'm getting a new machine. Right but you do that- Really a new machine!? Well one of our knights or would be knights who's going to-I think he's a knight oh he's one of my knights He's going to make a machine for me and I'm gonna accredit the show. He's gonna credit the show. Oh nice, well tell you what why don't you reconnect? And uh and i'll talk to The Hams KF5 SLN is on the conference repeater in the morning let's see if anyone's out there listening oh that's pretty disappointing where are The Hams on the air hello let me see if we're still connected no there's somebody connected just nobody listening am I connected yeah you're connected

1:29:21 There we go. You're back! Hello? Yes, hello. Oh... It's funny because now I'm connected and you are not. Let me just change that. Alright KF5SLN No Radio check Are you here? Yeah, I am here Can you hear me? Hello? Yeah, I can hear you now Okay Back to normal Well this is really disappointing so when all these hams connected and made a call out for QSO on the DX A CQ And no one came back They were listening to the show That's true So much for your grand scheme. No, it's gonna take a little while don't worry It's gonna happen I'm very not worried very very bullish about this there you go There's someone checking in too late now none is too late too late Okay, so there was something I was going to play oh yeah, I wanted to Say hi to everybody out there on the East Coast it was just nine days ago when super storm Sandy caught listen to this guy

1:30:20 Listen to all the, what is it when you use the same syllable? Alliteration. Yeah, alliteration superstorm Sandy. And pain as a snowy nor'easter rips across New England down to Maryland. Blowing sleet and snow into Sandy's open wounds. It pretends blowing sleet and snow into Sandy's open wounds. Still without heat, the threat of hypothermia very real tonight our extreme weather teams Ginger Zee spent the day in New York's hardest hit communities and reports now from slushie lower Manhattan. Slushie Lower Manhattan?

1:31:08 You know, Bill this is just one of so many spots that we're just starting to see the signs of recovering after Sandy. But look at this now! We have a wet slushy snowy mess on our hands... A mess never happened before part of an or Easter dropping up to 10 inches in parts of Connecticut already and you'll get a couple more inches in places overnight but this whole thing will be out of our hair by tomorrow night and really it will just end up being an icy speed bump on the road to recovery. An icy speed bump on the road to recovery You know what, all these people I just like to shoot them. I really would like to shoot them So annoying the way this news reports come out They got nothing else to do but come up with that crap By the way this is all because of The Wobble you know This is the... No one really talks about this and I was surprised The New York Times had an article

CHAPTER 27 / 48 Discussion

Earth Wobble Theory, Dying Weather Satellites

A theory is presented that current extreme weather is caused by a natural "wobble" or "interregnum" in the Earth's magnetic poles rather than anthropogenic global warming. The New York Times reported that the U.S. faces a gap in weather satellite data due to mismanagement and funding delays.

magnetic north· weather satellites· interregnum· anthropogenic global warming· new york times

1:31:58 Which is like, makes no sense to me. Dying satellites could lead to shaky weather forecasts The New York Times is saying that all the weather satellites are being either dying running out of battery power or taking out of commission so we won't be able to get good weather reports? This sounds like the biggest piece of horse crap in the universe I mean, I can talk with my ham radio to satellites. There's so many of them up there! The magnetic north has changed by several degrees to such an extent that most airports around the world have had to paint new numbers on their runways because magnetic north is changing. There could even be an inversion of the poles, this is actual science

1:32:58 and I think that we have a wobble. This happens throughout the history of the earth, it happens all the time not all the time no but it happens every...I don't know what the cycle is but I think its 10 or 20 or 30 thousand years and it's happening and this is for me during the interregnum mm-hmm good word for you interregnum the time between shifting all hell breaks loose at that the poles are bouncing around right over the place they may go away for 100 years then pop back The interregnum, which is a very good term. A period of discontinuity or gap in the government organization. That's the wrong interregnum apparently What is the interregnum? Well I guess it rejected the word from the goverment to the natural sciences

1:33:47 Interregnum. Anyway, it's a good word but anyway yeah so we have an actual wobble and that's why you're having these severe storm systems but you're being duped into believing into believing this is all some kind of climate change global warming bullcrap And if climate change there is of course real But it's because of the interregnum oh god that sounds so hot I'm gonna try that again You know of course I understand climate change hold on cocktail party So Yes, well of course climate change is real but it's due to the interregnum not to the agoraphobic... I messed it up. You're gonna have to rehearse this one! What's the A for an AGW?

1:34:28 Agorapho... No, no you want that. What's the there's a word for man-made global warming? AGW agw agro what's the word now yes yeah now here's where the chat room should come in handy AGW. What is it termed for man made global warming? Anthropogenic. There you go. Anthropogenic. Yeah anthropogenic let me just write this down interregnum It's anthropogenic. Anthro-pro-genic, OK. Well of course climate change... Is it anthro-pro or anthro-po? Let me check again. Anthropo, you're right. Anthropo I don't want to say it wrong Okay here we go Well of course climate change is really taking place but of course it's due to the interregnum and not necessarily anthropogenic global warming therefore if you believe in the actual science fact that you cannot prove through these satellites which are dying You should also believe that nuclear energy is a solution for all things we need

1:35:24 Yeah, you can get money from the nuker guys for that. Hey by the way you said... You used this same phrase twice in a row right at the beginning of that spiel. You have to do it without saying but of course but of course Oh yeah I know. I realized as I was saying it Alright try again Obviously the climate change that you see taking place before us in the nor'easter with superstorm Sandy which is now throwing more into the what was the open wound thing I want to put throw it out in there. I think the open wounds should be in there. You can't keep, if your gonna script this! You cant make up a whole new script! I like the script! I wanna do more! You stink!! I think I should...

1:36:07 Alright, I'll work on it. I'll work on it and I'll have it for Sunday. I'll have my spiel because this is a Record hold on we used to do this John And I think we should do you know we normally would do this in the newsletter good newsletter by the way? I liked what you sent out um I think that we should have a script for everybody with that includes the words inter interregnum interregnum interactum Interregnum, interregnum and anthropogenic. And it'll be something that people can just rehearse and then you'll basically be saying screw you on your stupid climate change but people will think you sound really smart. Thoughtful! You sound thoughtful.

1:36:51 But the dying satellites, that is a big flag in my book. That's a big flag when The New York Times says... I mean weather is the most important thing for everything in the universe depends and revolves around weather So how can, oh we made a mistake. Oops! Here let me just read this United States is facing a year or more without crucial satellites that provide invaluable data for predicting storm tracks A result of years of mismanagement lack of financing and delays in launching replacements according to several recent official reviews Bull crap

1:37:29 So they're saying we won't be able to track storms like Hurricane Sandy because we didn't invest enough in satellite technology. I'm not buying it! Sounds like a bogative excuse for incompetence Or a bogative excuse just make up stuff instead of the wobble of the interregnum What's a better word for wobble? We need a better word for wobble. Lookup synonym is wobble. Wobbles are good words, but it also sounds... Sounds a little wonky. It sounds a little wobbly yeah. Diane Sawyer-ish. Like wobble! Wobble! Diane Sawyer wobble. So I've got to Bradley just change the topic for a second. Uh huh. I've got a Bradley Manning update which... Ooh ooh ooh hold on sorry oscillation

CHAPTER 28 / 48 Discussion

Bradley Manning Plea, John Kiriakou Imprisonment

Bradley Manning is reportedly considering a plea bargain in his court-martial case. Meanwhile, former CIA agent John Kiriakou was sentenced to prison under the Espionage Act after publicly discussing the agency's use of waterboarding.

bradley manning· john kiriakou· espionage act· waterboarding· whistleblower

1:38:21 Oscillation is good. Oh, awesome! Okay yes Bradley Manning. It's a good word that's a word a ham would use. Oscillation the pilots also use it because you have PIO pilot induced oscillation yeah there you go just not good so we can have magnetic field induced oscillation yeah magnetic field induced oscillation during the interregnum wobble I can see chicks just going, yeah. I'm going home with that guy.

1:38:58 Alright, Bradley Manning. So here's the deal so there was a long report on Russia today about Bradley Manning and they went on and on about apparently what he is going to do I'm gonna cut it down because it was really lengthy but have a little clip here yeah they're gonna do a plea bargain with the guy they think and he's gonna probably get a shorter sentence if they give him or whatever they are going to do Because he admitted to something right? I read that he admitted to... Yeah he admitted to something and didn't do something else but whatever the case is they threw in extra piece of information on this report that didn't know, I don't know. Tell me if you knew this thing about the CIA guy? So what does this mean in terms of a sentence for Manning? It really could mean anything right now because they don't have to necessarily accept this plea notice They could go ahead and say no we don't think so You're going to be court-martialed and we're going to prosecute you And your gonna put in bars for the rest of your life

1:39:45 If you go back just two, three weeks ago we had another accused whistleblower. John Krakow who was a CIA agent for years and years. John Krakow was the... He was thrown in jail! One of the first six people charged under the Espionage Act by President Obama His crime allegedly was going public with the use of waterboarding and he named a couple names involved We are living under a Nazi regime. This is an outrage!

1:40:41 Did you know any of this? Yeah, I think I had it in the show notes about the guy going to jail for...I thought it was one but I guess two and a half years. And yeah! And I remember reading like wow he's the guy that busted open the waterboarding and he goes to jail?! Yeah especially since water boarding is not torture just a process. It's baffling to me. Baffling! Well you know that, it is funny you would say this because there was a bunch of guys on C-SPAN I didn't get this guy's name but there were four book authors and they're talking about the future of the country and all the rest of it And I thought it was interesting that one character went out with just kind of an interesting matter-of-fact repression quote

CHAPTER 29 / 48 Discussion

Executive Power, Predator Drones, Chris Matthews

The expansion of executive power and the use of predator drones are criticized as violations of the U.S. Constitution. Chris Matthews is singled out for his dismissal of third-party voters and his perceived role in supporting an unconstitutional system.

1:41:29 talking about how, and this began with Nixon by the way when Nixon came on the Robert Frost, what's Frost name? David. Dick. Dick Frost. He was on a Dick Frost show he said...Frost got the show off the ground or made the show work when he got Nixon to say well I'm the president there laws don't really apply to me that way they made the movie about that right about dick frost yeah Yeah, and it was like out of the movie. Yeah no I can do whatever I want. I'm the president yeah apparently Bush felt the same way and Obama feels the same way And I just got a kick out of this guy's kind of summary of how it all works repression in the USA III got to testify on behalf of the American Bar Association To a committee in the house when the president previous president

1:42:24 announced through his various signing statements that he would decide for himself whether or not he had to obey the laws. And every Republican saw nothing wrong with that. Democracy is not about policy. It's not about policy outcomes, it's about process and I think as long as we continue to focus on do whatever we need to get the policy outcome that we want, to hell with process, to hell with the Constitution you know is there repressive? More repressive? How do you define repressive?

1:43:02 How about wiretapping without a warrant? Is that repressive?" You know, so I do think we're more on the slippery slope than some people would want to admit. I have two words for you... Predator drones! That's right! You will never see it coming! That's right! Laugh it up! Yeah laugh it up because the press is the first one to get it. Yep. Laugh it up Yeah, nobody's paying any attention to any of this stuff. And this guy is right. You know process what he's talking about is you know policy is like we want to push this through processes as the rule of law And they don't... Oh that pesky thing. Please! That pesky constitution. Please don't insult me. You run into people, these Obama butts were the worst I mean there you tell them well there's a Constitution, oh God everybody knows this. Grow up! It's old fashioned. It's old fashioned. Constitution is not democracy. We live in a... Gary Johnson said, you guys are screwball as Chris Matthews would say. Chris Matthews was part of the problem He is an anti-American unconstitutional

1:44:05 A-hole. Unconstitutional! What he said... You know what? Let me just play that again Let me just play that guy. I've got to hear him again. You know, I think MSNBC should lose their license No, they don't need a license for cable. I think Chris Matthews... If you see him go up to him and say just spit in his face Say I'm sorry You don't understand my system This is how it works You say stupid crap? I spit in your face

1:45:02 Anyway, that is why you cannot rely on your media. They have been warned! I mean that was during the Washington Press Corps dinner The president there is threatening... Okay he's threatening the Jonas Brothers but the message is clear to everybody else If he is willing to drone the Jonas Brothers He is willing to drone any single one of you people who are reporting if you're not doing it the right way So that is why you need to be listening to the best podcast in the universe. I'm going to show my support by donating to No Agenda, imagine all of the people who could do that! Oh yeah they'd be fab! Yeah we do have a few donors for this show 459 and want to thank them profusely Warren Carroll in Des Moines Washington

California Tax Increases, Hydraulic Fracturing

California residents face increases in income, sales, and property taxes following the election. A donor's note suggests that natural gas prices will rise if the "EBA" (likely referring to the EPA) succeeds in banning hydraulic fracturing in certain shale deposits.

Long Island Railroad, Pregnancy Announcement

A listener in Bayshore, New York, describes the "cattle car" conditions on the Long Island Railroad following Superstorm Sandy. In Lodi, California, a donor announced his wife's pregnancy, requesting the hosts help break the news to the parents.

2:16:33 Time to donate, all you need to know about the storm was that it totally screwed up the Long Island Railroad for more than a week and is still causing issues thanks to flooding in the East River tunnels. That's interesting. It makes the commute home a bear, I guess by providing short eight car trains when the entire platform is teeming with people it's so bad the police have to shut down or shut the train doors to prevent people from getting on like cattle cars.

Red Cross Blood Sales, Organ Donor Risks

The American Red Cross is criticized for soliciting blood donations for Hurricane Sandy victims while allegedly selling that blood to hospitals for $500 a unit. A discussion on organ donation suggests that "opt-out" systems, like those in the Netherlands, may create incentives for doctors to prioritize organ harvesting over patient care.

american red cross· blood donation· organ donation· hurricane sandy· netherlands

2:34:34 Whoops. Anyway, maybe sitting up to sell me out so our producers as Those of you who are new to the program the best podcast in the universe man I know that we do not have listeners We have producers who produce this show they add stories to know agenda newsnetwork calm They email and we had a conversation about the Red Cross and their blood donation drive And I got a lot of email about this because the Red Cross essentially came out and said, oh we need blood. We need blood for victims of Hurricane Sandy! And were like what is this? So first listen to this little ditty that played on television screens across the country this past week. It can leave tens of thousands of families in need of help but it can also bring out the best in the American people In this country we look out for one another

2:35:26 Because despite our differences, we are Americans first. That's what Americans do. These efforts are often led by the American Red Cross and other members of the National Voluntary Organizations Active in Disasters. These groups are on the ground from the very beginning of a crisis until long after TV cameras are gone providing food shelter and other services to those in need They do incredible work but they can't do it alone They need your support We can't always predict when the next natural disaster will happen But if we do our part, each of us, then together we can make a difference. To see how you can make a difference please visit RedCross.org today Your help is urgently needed So there's the president actually in a commercial for the Red Cross and a lot of people received emails either directly from the Red Cross or through their employer saying We need blood for the victims of Hurricane Sandy

2:36:27 So I got into this, John. And I'm like what is going on? And indeed they do need blood but not for the reasons you might think You might think that there was a shortage of blood No no no Do you know where hospitals get 75% of their blood from Correct From the Red Cross who sell it to them for $500 a unit Sounds like a business Yes and they're proud of it So in order to help the victims of Hurricane Sandy, they want you to give blood so they can sell it to the hospital. Not for victims but just for money and then apparently they do something with that money

2:37:11 Isn't that the definition of being a vampire? I was really surprised. Yes, it's kind of a vampire-like thing Well it fits in with this with the themes around nowadays Yeah but its not like they tell you like oh well just by the way we're gonna use them We're going to sell the blood! They need liver donations or kidneys or something too they can do the same thing Please donate your kidneys for the victims of Hurricane Sandy. They get the kidney, they get 10 grand for it. Boom! Good topic... Are you an organ donor? That would work I'm sorry? I said that would work No, I asked YOU a question are you an organ donor? I don't know am I- nah I'm not an organ donor, I'm still alive Do you have like something on your license or anywhere on your person or is any registered anywhere that you're an organ donor

2:38:11 I should but no, you should not. Why? Because you think they just shoot me and then take the organs? The doctors from what i understand from the medical community and this started really in the Netherlands where the Netherlands is now passing legislation where you have to operate out of being an organ donor. You hear what I'm saying? Everyone's an organ donor unless you specifically opt out. Okay and what's the bad thing that happens to them? Doctors have an incentive, they get bribes to let someone die to take the organs. Now that would make sense in this world. Mm-hmm so you may want to opt out

2:38:51 I'm not opting out, i don't have to opt in. You said that you were registered somewhere? No! I never registered...I said I should but then you explained why shouldn't and so now I am not going too Very good Excellent So uhmm.. In real news Okay I got some of that And now, back to real news.

Syria Conflict, Bill Gates Drone Vaccines

Reports from Syria indicate that rebel fighters have killed members of a Palestinian faction allied with President Bashar al-Assad. Meanwhile, Bill Gates is reportedly investing $1.7 million in drone technology to deliver vaccines to remote areas in Africa.

syria· bashar al-assad· bill gates· drones· vaccines

2:46:05 If you know our thesis, which is that it was a kidnapping gone bad to be just the scam. It actually makes a lot more... when you hear this the two of them are baffled by a lot of this but no agenda listeners it just all makes sense! Of course. It's so funny the way things fall into place with like with the pipelines and such when you actually have one extra little bit of information which is what I think we do on the show more than anybody I'm not providing that one extra piece. We haven't talked about it on the show and i don't know if we're going to but apparently in Syria some of the Palestinians who have sided with Assad were gunned down by the rebels which creates a very strange dynamic. Nizrin, this has reportedly happened at the Yarmouk refugee camp what more do we know about the location and indeed what's happened?

2:47:01 Well, as you mentioned these are reports. We're hearing that Syrian rebel fighters have killed at least 10 members of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine – that's a Palestinian faction – that the report allegedly said is close to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and was fighting the armed opposition rebels in the area close to the Yarmouk Syrian refugee camp in Damascus. That's also close to Al Hajar al-Aswad district and street thirty where a lot of fighting has been happening in the last few days there we can't now of course uh... you know this is even hillary clinton is that yet we can have the syrian national committee uh... committee or council because they're not the right guys it's a whole thing is a mess now and and someone needs to grab all of us someone needs to grab hold of it i mean is this is out of control not turkey wants patriot missiles

2:47:55 Because apparently Assad is going to start shooting missiles at Turkey, really? Bless you. Yeah, bless you. I get the sneezes... They've been shooting some missiles that have missed and gone into Turkey on the border Right And this whole thing is... they've changed the script on this so many times I have no idea what they're gonna do next But this can't help No Anyway, it's just a bad we have to get into that and figure out what the hell is going on Just a quick look at the kill list President Obama started his second term On Wednesday with a drone strike killing three al-qaeda militants near the Yemeni capital

2:48:44 Good job. So this, so one day just reelected and he's right on the button again at least he's consistent I like that about him. He is back on the stick absolutely and i've read this crazy story that Bill Gates is investing apparently 1.7 million dollars to deliver vaccines to Africans through drone technology It seems kind of... We talked about this on the show before. But I think we were making it up then and now it's like... No, no there was a real report there was somebody...no it was a clip

2:49:24 Somebody was talking about drones and talking about this as an idea. So I guess somebody passed it on to Bill. And Bill went, yeah that's excellent! That's an excellent idea! Excellent... Was it a clip we had? I don't think so. I think it was some sort of a clip. It was show title too. We have to go back to that show. No Gates drone... Yeah it was door-to-door drone delivery. Door-to-door. A vaccine. Yeah there wasn't vaccines that was Domino's Pizza I don't remember what, well... whatever. How do you do this? You just send a bunch of needles down and get stabbed? It just lands! Instead of the whole hassle of putting people in a Land Rover and sending them off Oh no instead of taking it on a C-130 and throwing a parachute out the back door Yeah you tell them to line up and then shoot darts into them

Dutch Queen Cabinet Rehearsal, Reality TV Fakes

During the inauguration of the new Dutch cabinet, Queen Beatrix was caught on an open microphone being asked to repeat the ceremony because the television station missed the start. The incident is cited as evidence that official government ceremonies are often staged or rehearsed for media consumption.

queen beatrix· netherlands· cabinet inauguration· media fakery· reality tv

2:50:18 The drone comes down, lands with a package full of drones and it takes off. We don't have to worry about killing anybody No it doesn't do that It just flies by and then you know...it's just like shooting needles into ya Something very funny happened in the Netherlands I'll play the sound clip Well I'l tell you what happened then I'll play the sound clip So the Dutch government has a new cabinet You know they had that What are you doing? I'm erasing my note. I have a clip list, okay? And every time one of the clips is played, I scratch it out and I was scratching out one of them. Alright! Just...I'd never heard this sound before. What does it sound like? Well, it sounded like you were rubbing one out. You seem to have a dirty mind. Go on

2:51:11 So the Dutch Queen has to inaugurate the cabinet, which is called Rotte Twee. So it's all the same douchebags and they're basically just bending over for Brussels so she has to inaugurate them and this happens in some official capacity of course The queen is only ceremonial right? She doesn't have any real power except that she bestows the power from Greystoke onto the cabinet members, the Prime Minister etc So they have it set for two o'clock in the afternoon, but for some reason they start the ceremony early. Like 2 minutes early and the Dutch news station, you know like the PBS of Holland, the NOS... They were still playing commercials because even though they're public they still have commercials

2:52:06 And so they come out and they've missed the ceremony. I guess the director calls down to the intercom and says, tell The Queen to do it again! Unfortunately they left the mics open. Oh no... So you literally don't see that-I have a video in the show notes 459 or not any shownotes.com and i'll play the audio The Queen goes what? Do it again really?! But doesn't that mean it's just like some kind of high school play if we do it again? And she did it again. How awesome is that! Here it is... You have to do it again. What?!

greece· austerity· privatization· retirement age· athens

2:53:42 and very depressed. And Greece passed their third austerity bill... What's essentially happened is that politicians here in Greece have voted in order to allow the next round of austerity measures, the latest austerity package MPs vote, 153 MPs voting in favour of these latest austerity measures 128 against and there were 18 abstentions. What these new austerity measure mean though for the Greek people is that we're going to see the retirement age rise to 67 There's also going to be slashes to pensions and wages And it's also gonna be new laws that are actually making it easier for employers to fire

2:54:25 And besides that they also passed the privatization bill which means that they can now, they will be privatizing their water. Yeah! That's what you want. You want your water in private hands and here is the response of the slaves in Athens. Actual bombs going off There were actual bombs, people throwing bombs on the street. Yeah they're making Molotov cocktails... You know the Greeks are the last people I'd be trying to pull this crap on. They've shown the numbers they're actually the hardest working people in Euro land. In show business

2:55:16 They're the hardest working people, they have more higher productivity per individual. They work hard and then you're trying to screw them over because for one thing you take their own money away so that they can't control their own economy anymore and then you stick it to em'. And then pull crap like privatizing water? Yeah! How great is that?! What is that supposed to accomplish that's going help the economy? Well its not... It's telling the shaves to slot up It's disgusting. The whole thing, and by the way people in like Holland you know they just like oh it's not us you know don't look over there if they did people don't understand that this is coming to your town too yeah this is just a test of the way I look at it you know if you're doing the mailing list business for example or any sort of direct marketing then one of their first things you learn

2:56:15 Test against the best. So in other words, if you have a bunch of mailing lists that you can test... You don't test against weak mailing lists and then get mediocre results and say well I dunno let's try it again on some other mailing list. You test against the absolute best mailing lists The most expensive one, the best one you can find If you fail, if the test fails, you know they're all gonna fail because you just tested against the best They're testing against the best with grease If you could pull this crap off with the Greeks, boom! Everybody's doomed. About five minutes, but that should totally ease you back into reality as the program ends and you are back in the land of The American Dream. All around Gitmo Nation just getting by And we will be on the stick once again looking for real news As your news stations will be giving nothing but bullcrap posts

CHAPTER 48 / 48 Discussion

Admiral James Lyons, Benghazi Timeline Analysis

Retired Admiral James Lyons discussed the Benghazi timeline on Lou Dobbs' program, arguing that available military resources at Sigonella were not utilized. Lyons claims the CIA and State Department ignored months of warnings about deteriorating security and the presence of Al Qaeda-linked militias in eastern Libya.

james lyons· benghazi· cia· sigonella· lou dobbs

2:58:12 Week anniversary of the attack on Benghazi and now we have a timeline from the CIA. Your thoughts about both that timeline and the timelessness of it? Well, I've looked over the timeline Lou and of course it leaves certain things out for example We had resources in theater which were not utilized one that we've used to utilize in the past is having a jet aircraft fly over, which could have flown over the consulate in full afterburner. It would have scattered the crowd and it would've bought us valuable time and perhaps maybe saved some lives The second thing resource we had in theater was at Sigonella It was a 130 man marine force recon unit that was fully equipped and ready to go

2:59:05 And I'm told that General Ham never received any orders to execute. Admiral, let me explain. Force Recon is a special operations group elite warriors in the Marine Corps and they were in Italy and within two hours dispatch time would you say? Approximately within two hours we could have had a jet aircraft over within an hour And the idea that this timeline was released, General... I don't know that anyone other than the administration to this point has blamed the CIA for any part of this. It's been a question and an issue of the decisions not to seek military support A question of being told to stand down as our Catherine Harridge and Jennifer Griffin have reported here

3:00:01 This is a peculiar response on the part of the CIA. Well, it is that and its also peculiar why we never have tried to secure our consulate That could've been done immediately And much information could've been protected Possibly even more lives saved What's questionable is CIA's role and the Director of Naval Intelligence' role in the bogus cover-up story that this was a reaction to a spontaneous mob, and a reaction to a video which nobody had seen.

3:00:43 Admiral, as we listen to the White House tell the American people that this was about a basically 14 minute video. that upset some people in the region, that had run on YouTube when they knew absolutely that it was patently false. And they talked about the fog of war as a reason for not making decisions but they were so confident that they could say and get away with saying... That is was about video when they knew it was a terrorist attack How can it be that someone in the military, the CIA, the national security team doesn't step up and say wait a minute we can't have this kind of nonsense going on as the President of United States himself addresses the American people. Well Lou unfortunately

3:01:34 From my perspective, the office of the Chairman and the Joint Chiefs of Staff has become politicized because of the structure of Goldwater-Nichols. It was never the intention of Goldwater-Nichols to politicize the office of the Chairman and the Joint Chiefs of Staff. And political correctness has infected unfortunately all the major levels of our military leadership But there's another point here which is overlooked And that is the CIA was tracking for months the commander of the Ansar al-Shurida terrorist group that carried out the attack on our consulate. The Al Qaeda related organization in Benghazi? Correct

3:02:24 And I find it incomprehensible that they had no clue that this attack was going to occur, particularly when the consulate on 16 August put out a security message to the Department of State telling them about the outer control militias heavily armed roaming throughout eastern Libya. They cited 10 militias and al-Qaeda groups that they said they had no fear of retribution from the Libyan government because the Libyan government had lost all control in eastern Libya. The consulate had no confidence in the 17 February martyrs' brigade

3:03:15 who were assigned the responsibility for the consulate protection or the local police force. Half of the time, the local police force wouldn't even show up And Admiral, as you know in the previous month in July the British ambassador had been attacked. The Red Cross had been attacked and the United States was the only Western power with presence in Benghazi and precisely because of the deteriorating security environment that is they knew they would be attacked Don't look over here! Nothing to see here

3:03:51 night long. But if you don't vote, I don't want to talk to you! And if you vote for one of these numbskull third or fourth party candidates like Gary Johnson or Jill Stein and say oh I was so surprised at what happened no you shouldn't be because idiots like you voted for third and fourth party candidates and they don't know how this system works. You have two choices. Chris Matthews! That President Barack Obama has won Minnesota. The best podcast in the universe!
