About this episode

President Barack Obama faces scrutiny over a staged White House photograph depicting him skeet shooting at Camp David, an image critics claim is a clumsy attempt to court gun owners. The technical inconsistencies in the photo, including improper gun mounting and unusual smoke patterns, coincide with a rare joint interview on 60 Minutes where Obama appeared to signal a 2016 endorsement for Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. This media blitz arrives as the administration pushes new executive proclamations and globalist architecture metaphors to redefine the international rules-based order.

Chuck Hagel struggled through a disjointed Secretary of Defense confirmation hearing, failing to provide coherent answers on Iran containment or military policy. Meanwhile, the Pentagon announced a massive cyber force expansion from 500 to 4,000 personnel, even as Twitter reported a major security breach affecting 250,000 users due to Ruby on Rails vulnerabilities. In domestic news, the IRS released proposed regulations for the Affordable Care Act's Shared Responsibility Payment, revealing that families could face annual penalties of up to $20,000 for lacking health coverage by 2016. Boeing also faces a crisis as engineers blame the 787 Dreamliner grounding on cheap, outsourced plastic parts.

Mike Huckabee provided a moment of levity with a verbal slip, referring to a potential attacker as a crazed guzman while mocking TSA self-defense videos. In Austin, the historic Moonlight Towers remain a focal point of local lore linked to the Servant Girl Annihilator, while the Congress Avenue Bridge bats continue to provide natural pest control for the Travis Heights neighborhood. The episode also features a satirical remix of Amtrak security announcements titled You Will Obey.

Super Bowl XLVII Rigging Theories, San Francisco 49ers vs. Baltimore Ravens

The 2013 Super Bowl matchup between the San Francisco 49ers and the Baltimore Ravens is analyzed through the lens of professional sports rigging theories. Predictions favor San Francisco due to the NFL's need to promote the "pistol" college-style offense to revitalize a shrinking audience and address player safety concerns. The discussion highlights the league's struggle with concussion issues and the lack of engagement from younger generations.

00:00 Are you on the browser? On the browser, check. Adam Curry, John C. DeVora. It's Sunday, February 3rd, 2013. Time for your Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 4A4. This is no agenda. I am your documented American, coming to you from the capital of the drone star state, Austin Tejas. In the morning everybody, I am Adam Curry. And from Northern Silicon Valley, where things are a-hummin', I'm John C. Dvorak. It's Crackpot and Buzzkill. In the morning. Yeah. Going along with the old theory that we always establish that all professional sports at the highest level are rigged. Oh, that's right, today is the Super Bowl. You're right, I forgot about that.

00:48 Am the only guy you know who forgets about this of course Wait a minute who's playing the San Francisco 49ers yes against local boys yes against and the Baltimore Ravens the bad posters from Baltimore so first of all they must be kind of the underdogs because I never really heard of the Ravens if you'd asked me to name the Baltimore team I would have been like Oreos Blue Jays, Oreos, Oreos, Oreos, Oreos, the Baltimore Oreos. So I can tell you who's gonna win. This is a very easy one. Okay. Yeah, it's going to be San Francisco, of course. Why? Because it's for the gays. This is a broadcast on ABC, I presume.

01:35 No, I think it's on CBS. Really? Hmm. Yeah. Well, really? Well, I thought last year... They rotated it. They say one year is one. Well, last year, the big show after the Super Bowl was The New Normal, which is the big gay show. So I'm thinking, you know, this is a... We have to... I don't know if this is an homage to the gays. This is... Of course it is. Have you seen how cute these guys' butts look in these outfits? Come on, this is obvious. The whole game is homoerotic. The whole game is a gay game. Come on. Well, not as much as MMA. Well, yeah, that's... They're groping each other. But this is obviously a gay man's game. It's like it's fun to watch them.

02:19 So here's the real deal. No, okay. I appreciate your commentary I'll watch the Super Bowl, you know, I'll watch like although I there is a problem I can't watch the whole Super Bowl today because why because And I think he forgot when he asked me to help him uncle Don Uncle Don's gmail got hacked He's gonna try and help recover it or something. I I'm like just do it after the show the game doesn't start till 3 30. Okay? I'm just like why don't you call the boys at the agency Don? I mean they can just reissue the password. I think that's gonna be a lot easier He probably doesn't trust them. He doesn't so 3 30 your time so that's 6 30 here. No, that's 5 30 here Okay, yeah, you got plenty of time well hour and a half only cuz by the time I'm done uploading It's you know it's already for here, so all right anyway, so you did so you don't want I'm telling you San Francisco I can even tell you the point spread

03:19 Okay, hit it. Six to nine. Six to nine. Swazzle mouth, baby. Two field goals versus three field goals. I don't think so. So here's the deal. The game, the NFL knows its numbers. It's not dying, this league is not dying, but it's got all kinds of issues with concussions and the audience is shrinking. Literally dying. You mean like the players are dying and the audience are dying? No, no, no. The league is not growing anymore. It stopped growing and the younger generation is not watching.

03:58 Lot of problems with the game itself and that is also injury prone So they have to change the style of the game for a nut for two reasons one They got to lower the injury thing and the second which means they've changed a bunch of the rules which changes the way the game can be played and They got to make the game more exciting. The 49ers are running a college offense that semi-experimental called the pistol and It's very exciting to watch because the other teams totally dumbfounded as this game progresses So they have to let the 49ers not only win but rack up the score It'll be a high scoring game for the Niners and it'll be a big disappointment There's no way the Baltimore team can win this and I would be stunned if they let them win it

04:42 Well, it's 6-9 for the Niners. It's not 6-9. It's like 42-17 or something. It's alright. I'm telling you. It could add up to 69. That's what you're getting at. Obviously there will be a Swaziland somewhere. There's no doubt about it. There could be 33 to 3. Now that would truly tickle me if that took place. But anyway, John, this is all fine and dandy, but there's three other big events happening this month. Okay, tell me what I have to say happy American Heart Month happy national American American national African American history month and Happy national teen dating violence awareness and prevention month teen dating violence and prevention awareness month

Obama Proclaims National Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month

President Barack Obama issued a proclamation designating February 2013 as National Teen Dating Violence Awareness and Prevention Month. Questions are raised regarding the constitutional authority for such presidential edicts. The timing is criticized for overlapping with African American History Month and American Heart Month, suggesting the multiple designations dilute the significance of each.

barack obama· constitution· national teen dating violence awareness month· african american history month· american heart month

05:33 Yeah. Who came up with that one? Well, it's signed by the president right here. I've got it in the ledger. In the ledger. I therefore Barack Obama, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution, laws and laws, do hereby proclaim February 2013 as National Teen Dating Violence Awareness and Prevention Month. Where in the Constitution does it say that you can make these? Edicts well apparently yeah, that's a good question. I don't know where I don't know He says according to the laws and the Constitution. He's he's the boss in the Constitution mom We'll have to go check, but it's like I mean if I were african-american I'd feel slighted I mean how can we have to share our month with the American Heart Month and the teen dating violence awareness month that blows I mean I think yeah, and what is it so what what kind of

06:24 What is it implying about the teen dating violence awareness and black history? No, no, it's not black. It's racist. It's like, they're like pointing the fingers at black people for being violent? What is this? No, they're not. First of all, it's not Black American Month. It's National African American History Month. It's a little different. So they have a history of violence, of teen dating? Is that what you're saying? This is going nowhere fast. Hi, welcome everybody. I saw last night at the dinner and I said, you should listen to my show. You'll love it. Tell us about this dinner. This was, so our, so the good news, we have a house. This is, this is good news. And our realtors, John and Chris, John and Chris, hey, whoo.

Transitions Charity Dinner, Blasphemous "Come to Jesus" Theme

A charity dinner in Austin, Texas, benefiting the Transitions hospice program, featured a controversial "Come to Jesus" theme. The menu consisted entirely of cheese-based dishes, including grilled cheese sandwiches with Jesus's likeness and onion soup gratin. The event was hosted by local realtors John and Chris to support the gay community and local hospice care.

07:10 So John and Chris, they do a lot for the gay community in Austin and they have this dinner for the hospice, it's called Transitions, it's a charity dinner. And so there's all these dinners at people's houses all over Austin. And it's like 100 bucks per person. So you're spending some real money. But you get dinner. And then they had, and each dinner has a theme. And we were at their dinner and it was Come to Jesus. Which is come to Jesus. Come to Jesus? Jesus, yes. It's blasphemous. Totally! So they had, they start off with like, grilled cheese with, you know, literally with a Jesus in it. You know, like how people see Jesus in grilled cheese. Oh, that's actually quite funny. Yeah, it's a gay funny thing.

08:01 But the whole meal was all cheese. And let me tell you, this is not a good idea. No, you probably won't be able to poop for a month. Oh my God. Then they had onion soup, gratin with cheese on top. I see what you mean. But they had a French thing, a grouillere. It's like a piece of bread, but it's made out of gruillere cheese and egg and they bake it and it's kind of like, hmm. a grueger I think is what it was called damn it I should have written it down so that was kind of nice and like a croque monsieur no no no no no it wasn't a croque monsieur but it was it looked a little bit like a croissant

Austin Real Estate Market, Travis Heights 1917 House Purchase

A successful house purchase in the Travis Heights neighborhood of Austin, Texas, is detailed despite a severe lack of local inventory. The 1917-built home was secured by signing a check on the doorstep to beat out other potential buyers in the competitive Texas market. The move is scheduled to be completed by the end of February.

09:29 as we call it. Sketchy is the word. No, spotty is the word we use. It's spotty. But it has everything we need and we were pretty much lying on the lady's doorstep. Because you know we've been striking out. There's no inventory in Austin. There's literally just no houses. Right now Texas is the hot spot and Austin is at the hub. And we were just letting you know I signed a check right there. I said you know we'll do the contracts later. Here cash this now. So we're very, very happy and so we'll be moving over the course of the next couple of weeks because we have to be out of here by the end of the month. So that's really the good news. But in the course of this dinner,

Austin Moonlight Towers, Servant Girl Annihilator History

The history of Austin's Moonlight Towers, 165-foot lighting structures erected in 1885, is explored in relation to the "Servant Girl Annihilator" serial killer. These towers were originally installed to illuminate the city and provide safety during a period of high-profile murders that some theorists link to Jack the Ripper. Austin remains one of the few cities to maintain these historic 19th-century lighting structures.

10:14 I'm learning a whole bunch of things about Austin because these are all Austinites who were born and raised in Austin. And are you familiar with our moon... Was everybody gay? No, no. And I was hoping there would be some hot lesbians. There were some women who came together to the dinner but they weren't gay. Oh, that's a shame. Bummer. I know, I got gypped. Have you heard of the Moonlight Towers in Austin? No. So we have these, they were put up in the late 1800s, these 15 foot, I'm sorry, 160, 165 foot towers that are spread out around the town and they are meant to be a facsimile of moonlight.

10:59 And they function quite well actually. I mean it's like there's a full moon over Austin in town. And I'd never noticed this, I didn't know that these towers existed but they were pointed out to me last night. And these were put in place in 1885. After the servant girl annihilator was raging rampant in Austin, Texas killing servant girls. And he actually has a wiki page, the servant girl annihilator. And he was just killing servant girls. Started first black girls, then white girls.

11:38 I like really kind of like Jack the Ripper style in fact it was the same time some people even think Jack the Ripper was the annihilator that he got on a boat and went to London later and because everyone was so freaked out about this guy they put up these moon towers. Well it turns out looking at the Moonlight towers are lighting structures designed to illuminate the city at night. The structures were popular across the country. Oh, I didn't know that. Yeah, they had an Austin, Detroit, New Orleans, San Jose, which I, news to me. I'd never heard of these. And it looks like there's still a bunch of them besides the one in Austin. I guess there's a San Jose had one but they tore it down and it was built in 1881. Yeah. Which I believe was this one really era. This was the early version of street lighting. Right. Right.

12:31 Across the United States, they're most common in the 1880s, 1890s, some places they were used, they were probably put in Austin because of this annihilator. Yes. Because they were maybe resistant, resisting. I just love the fact that they came up with the name for a serial killer in 1880 called the Servant... None of this is new. Servant Girl Annihilator. Yeah, that's a good one. That's a show title by the way. Servant Girl Annihilator, coming to you soon. Starring Jack Black. Wow, that was really bad. So did you get to, did you see these towers? Because apparently they're pretty... Yeah, because we were outside. How many are there? There's several. I think there's 20 or 25 in Austin. And the house that we were at, you know, they were saying, oh, there's a moonlight tower. I'm like, what? It looks like there's a stadium nearby. No, no, no. And then you look at it and you realize it's not a state, it's not stadium lighting. It's a moonlight tower. It's very different from stadium lighting.

13:28 I was like, oh, and then people were laid into this whole story. I'm like, okay. How tall is it? Because the one they're showing here in San Jose when it was there, it's not there obviously anymore. One, two, three, four, five, six, it's about 15 stories high. It's like 160 feet high. It's high. It's up there. It's up there for sure. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So anyway, so Yeah, so anyway, so you know there were some people there and these are these are Austinites, you know, so you get to talking and people, you know, not generally happy with what's going on in the world because that's why people live in Austin because they're all smart here.

Social Interactions in Austin, Moonlight Tower Maintenance

Social dynamics at Austin gatherings are discussed, specifically the reaction to being a podcaster versus a former MTV personality. The conversation returns to the technical state of the Moonlight Towers, noting that while many remain, several have been lost to traffic accidents, cyclones, and rust.

14:07 Then you know eventually after you know that they're they're tired of fawning over Mickey that she's so awesome And she's so beautiful, and you know and she's talented you know then they finally Turned towards me like and what do you do? And then you know my podcaster It's like it's almost like saying I'm a blogger I'm a blogger. I'm a blogger. I'm known in the blogging community. Look at this. It's a conversation. It's a conversation. We're engaged in conversation. Yeah, I'm having a conversation with my community who are very engaged on the blog. I'm in the blogosphere. Yeah, this is, that's kind of what it, so usually my stock answer is, I have a couple of them depending on, you know, so I didn't feel like saying government legislation analyst last night.

15:08 Like, ugh, some of these people might be legislation analysts, for all I know. So, you know, I'm a bum. I'm a bum. Did you say that? Yeah, and people never question after I say that. Yeah, sure. They're like, oh yeah, well okay then, alright, great. Jiggalo, jiggalo. Alright Mickey, how are you doing again? And they're back to Mickey. I'm a bum. It works, you just, what are you, I'm a bum. Oh, okay. They don't question it. I'm telling you John, they don't question it. Now a couple of people, you know of course this is why I get invited is near the MTV thing. They don't care, that's the reason. Yeah but there's always people who remember from MTV.

15:47 People like I remember you you're you're not there anymore. Hey, it's been a while since I've seen you I said, yeah, well, you're old fuck.

Moonlight Tower in Austin, this is a little different than the original ones. The original ones were big tripods. This is a straight up thing. Yeah, it's like a water tower except there's no thing on top. There's a lighting on top. Yeah. Yeah. It's serious business, man. Serious business.

16:36 Apparently in Austin, which I guess has the most of them, they had in 1976, they had one on 4th and Nueces. The one on Monroe Street and 1st is still there. Leland and Eastside is there. The 1st street in Waller is gone. And they have them all. You still have one, you have about 20 of them or more. There's a ton of them, you're right. Yeah, yeah. That's cool. Amazing. But this old Austin is really cool. Two towers have been destroyed in traffic accidents. Two have been blown down by cyclones and six victims of rust. Oxidation strikes again. So we're right down by the river. Very excited. Ah, mosquitoes. Ah, shh. Ixnay in Mosquito Ace.

Bat Flight Paths, Guano Benefits in Austin

The new residence in Travis Heights is located directly under the flight path of the Congress Avenue Bridge bats. The presence of bats is noted for its benefit in controlling the mosquito population, though the accumulation of guano is discussed as a potential gardening nutrient.

17:24 And we have a widow's walk on the top of the house. Oh nice, and so it unfortunately does not you know you have to like pull down an attic type ladder to get up there, but then you see the entire city and This house is right in the path of the bats. Oh So you go up there on the walk as the bats come over the house you're kidding I'm gonna charge money for tickets coming down now. I am gonna visit oh Yeah, we're right in the bat path. How cool is that? So they come out from under the bridge, you see the city in the background, and they fly right over the house. Do they crap all over the house? No, they eat the mosquitoes though. Oh yeah, I'm sure they will. Oh that's true, you won't get any mosquitoes because of those bats. No, the bats are right there. But do they crap on the house? I didn't see any bat poop, although I will point out I am not familiar with the site and structure of bat poop. Guano it's called. Guano?

18:17 Bat guano. Why isn't it called poop? Because guano is very useful as a nutrient. In fact, it used to be bagged as guano and sold by the 50 pound sack. People wanted to beef up their garden. So you can ingest it? No, no, no. It's not for eating. It's for gardening. Oh, well good, because that's the only part of the house that's not so great. The house isn't... This guano is quite tasty. The garden needs work. Ah, well, just the guano should help. Yeah, but it has a little greenhouse, a little mini greenhouse.

18:53 So this is the perfect place for us. It really is. We're very very excited. You'll be rousted in six months. What do you mean rousted? What are you talking about? We're selling the house. You must move. No, no, we have an ironclad contract on this one. We're not getting rousted out of this. Screw that. I wish I could buy a place, but you know, that's a joke. I don't have a down payment and be you know, no banks. They won't even give me money for a car Hey, weren't you the guy who wanted the car now you want a house? Are you insane? Are you insane get out of here? Anyway, let's begin the show. Yeah, we should again. Let me let me just say that you know, the the Pentagon these guys are amazing I am so impressed, you know, the news comes out and

CHAPTER 08 / 53 Discussion

Pentagon Cyber Force Expansion, Cybersecurity Degree Skepticism

The Pentagon is significantly expanding its cyber force from 500 to 4,000 personnel to combat sophisticated hacking attacks against banks and news organizations. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano has warned of a critical shortage of experts. However, skepticism is expressed regarding the value of new university cybersecurity degrees, suggesting that government recruitment actually favors winners of independent coding challenges and contests.

19:48 And it was a you know, it was mentioned here and there that the Pentagon is raising their cyber force cyber force cyber force from 500 to at least 4,000 which of course, you know means 40,000 probably and they're recruiting there everywhere we do we need to get some cyber so it you know if you've been listening to this podcast and you are a sysadmin or you can if you can do pearl and or Ruby on Rails, I don't care. Admins are the best really. If you've been listening, then you already have a high paying job in the government for the military as a contractor most likely. If not, this is the last time I'm going to tell you, this is where the big money is for you and this is time, it's a bonanza, it's fantastic. And just to remind you, we have created this illusion that hackers are attacking our newspapers and Twitter

20:42 The social media giant Twitter says it has become the latest victim in a string of sophisticated hacking attacks. Sophisticated hacking attacks! Sophisticated! Three newspapers. And it exposing users' private information. Oh, John, my privates were exposed. Did you feel it? Experts believe the attack, which follows others launched against three of this country's largest newspapers, is the latest illustration of a dire need for more experts with training to prevent the NBC's justice correspondent Pete Williams has more tonight. This is worth listening to because it really shows you what is going on that we have been predicting for years. At the offices of cyber watchdog Mandiant, computer security consultant for the Washington Post and New York Times. This is the company that apparently let the attack go through. A constant vigil keeps watch for...

21:37 Yeah, and then we'd, oh this is really good, so they can have some douchebags from the company talking. I love this. These are, I mean, we know these kinds of douchebags. ...attacks on them and other clients. The company also devises ways to stay a step ahead to block attempted intrusions from succeeding. There's always going to be some kind of gap that attackers can exploit and very often we see companies haven't invested in responding to the fact that they will sustain a breach and many times they're caught flat-footed when it occurs. It will happen, it is a fact, you will sustain a breach. With cyber attacks on the rise against banks, news organizations, social media and the systems that keep the country going... I mean does it get any better than that?

22:18 I mean banks, what social media? Newspapers! We're under attack! There's a growing worry that the US faces a serious shortage of people who know how to respond. It takes a thousand hours of hands-on work just like a pilot. Okay, excuse me! A thousand hours just like a pilot. No. Forty hours to get your license as a pilot, okay? Thousands of hours. It's just like being a pilot. It's dangerous work to carry the passengers safely from one side of the earth to the other. You can't be a good pilot unless you've actually flown an airplane under pressure. You can't be a good cyber person unless you've actually fought in cyberspace, either in a simulator or in the real world. Okay.

23:02 John when's the last time you fought in the cyber world in a simulator or a real-world situation I've been in a real simulator simulator, but yeah, no, but cyber you have to fight person. What is that? He's talking about you. Have you fought? Is it halo? World Warcraft I think that's what he means if you fought you have to fight that's that's you're fighting in the world of warfighting It's a simulator. He's talking about Of course fighting in cyberspace. Fighting, we're fighting the hackers. The need is exploding. The Pentagon's US Cyber Command is drawing... Wait, where did you get this thing? CBS? NBC. No, it's NBC. NBC. ...plans to bring 4,000 new computer security experts on board. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano warns that the lack of experts nationwide is critical.

23:51 Okay, now go and listen they're coming to your campus the tickets should be encrypted here or not the University of Southern California is among a handful of the nation's colleges answering the call preparing to offer a degree in cybersecurity Let me let me guarantee you one thing do not go for the degree in cybersecurity You're not going to get hired. All right Alright, that's not the guys. They're recruiting look for the challenges the contests This is how you get recruited. They put out contests all the time, like the Google challenge, that kind of thing. That's where you want to be. You'll get recruited and hired for mucho buckos. Whatever type of system that I'm going to develop for somebody, I'm going to make sure that it's secure. In the past if your computer got attacked, maybe you were worried about slow startup speeds. Now they can actually affect your livelihood.

24:46 Educators say it's essential to start building the cyber workforce earlier in cyber work for schools and colleges Preparing for one part of the economy everyone agrees is expanding as the cyber threat spreads Unbelievable. This is a obvious you can see this one coming. This is gonna be overpopulated by the Indian bullcrappers Network like Like that guys that they brought in early, and you know the CTO a teak and the other guy What who you know the guys are Chopra and his buddy? JJ von Jive We already forgot their names are so forget Those two guys are full of crap. Yeah about the guy speaking cobalt and binary skip logic skip logic skip logic the skip logic guy

Twitter Security Breach, Ruby on Rails Vulnerabilities

Twitter reported a security breach affecting approximately 250,000 users, leading to the resetting of "salted" passwords. The attack is linked to purported flaws in the Ruby on Rails framework, which Twitter utilizes. One of the hosts describes receiving a notification from Twitter regarding the compromise of limited user information, including usernames and email addresses.

25:37 So that's the kind of guys that are going to be all over the place. But it won't matter because this is bullcrap. There's no need for this. And by the way, Twitter's hacked because apparently it turns out that Ruby essentially is damaged goods in the kernel. Ruby on Rails? Well, Ruby on Rails is a form of Ruby. But... Goop.net? Yeah, it's no good. It's no good, really? And Twitter is based on it. I think isn't Ruby like built into the Mac OS? Doesn't the Mac OS ship with Ruby? Might. I think it does. It turns out to be, according to everybody I'm talking to, it's now known as a flawed product that can't be fixed. Wow! Well thank you very much. This is news. Hello.

26:25 So I actually got one of those emails. Did you get an email that you've been hacked? No. No, I got one. From who? From Twitter. They told you that you got hacked? Yes! Yeah, that I was one of the lucky ones. That I was one of the lucky ones. Hold on, I'll read it to you. Yeah, wait a minute before you do. Who is it? Did it come from Twitter.com? It came from here. It says reset your password, Twitter. It came from Postmaster, you know, bogative whatever at Postmaster.Twitter.com. And hold on a second, that's the re- so for Twitter received a request to reset the password, hold on a second I gotta go back to the search. Where is... Hold on it was... I got nothing, I got no letters. I gotta go to... No, because they said it was like 250 people that this had happened to. Did you have a lousy password or...

27:21 No, no, no. Something like, you know, I am great or something easy to figure out? Twitter believes your account may have been compromised by a website or service not associated with Twitter. Crap, where is the email? Because they had an email about... Here's the last note I got from Twitter. Do you know MC Hammer, Jen and Eric Koteki? Do you know MC Hammer? That's what it says. That's a good one. I like that. Hold on. Let me just see if I can find this Twitter Hi, by the way, you can go in your settings everyone who uses Twitter and turn off all these notifications They keep sending you stupid crap. Yeah. Well, this is why it's kind of hard for me to find because it was a Wow, how come I well maybe it's here. Damn. This is annoying Twitter

28:22 Well now I can't find it. Well that's okay. But they said that like my salted password had possibly been accessed. You're salted? Yeah, that's why I thought I saved this message. But is this me salted? Yeah, like the password had been... like a salted password. Assaulted no not assaulted salted like salted like table salted. Yeah, that was the I'm trying to find this for you so that we can talk about this I'm feeling stupid now that I can't find it because I know I saved it. Okay. We'll look for it in the background in the background

29:06 What while I'm doing all I'm talking just go do something else you don't understand it works well the other Adam Curry is working on stuff I Don't know where this is damn it Yeah, there was something about my salted password that may have been accessed. And then, and what's funny is I go in to reset my password, and I don't remember what my password is, so I do one of my passwords, and it goes, oh, you can't use that password, it's the same as the old one. I'm like, well, gee, so they still have the old password on file. The whole thing is bogative. I don't believe this for a second.

Chuck Hagel Confirmation Hearing, Secretary of Defense Nomination

Chuck Hagel's performance during his Secretary of Defense confirmation hearings is criticized for perceived incoherence and lack of preparation. Specific focus is placed on his confusing statements regarding the administration's position on the containment of Iran. Comparisons are made to outgoing Secretary Leon Panetta and the general direction of U.S. military policy.

29:44 Well, it could be. I mean, I got hacked on Twitter once. People started sending out, hey, go buy the, join the Popeil Club. I've had that happen too, but they said they had a breach of the system. That's a little different. What kind of information does anyone store on Twitter that's important? Private. Private info. Hey, while we're on social networks, Mickey... No, wait, before you go there, while you're on talking about the Pentagon, the Defense Department, let's play the little Chuck Hagel clip. By the way, he sounds like an alcoholic. I hate to say this, but he just sounds drunk and when he looks terrible, big bags under his eyes. This guy's gonna be a new Department of Defense secretary. Yes. And here he is answering questions. I don't know. I can't give you an example. By the way, I've just been handed a note that I misspoke and said I supported the

30:32 President's position on containment. If I said that, it meant to say that obviously his position on containment, we don't have a position on containment. The question is, were you right or wrong? That's a pretty straightforward question. Well, I would like to answer whether you're right or wrong and then you are free to elaborate. Well, I'm not going to give you a yes or no answer. Shut up! Yeah, this guy is no good. Why was he chosen? I mean, who in his right mind... Why was he chosen to be... This is supposed to be the guy who's supposed to be the Secretary of Defense. Now, I didn't like Panetta. He's a total A-hole, brown people and sand killer.

31:19 But this guy, I mean, are we supposed, is he like a pacifist? Is he supposed to be the new and improved, like we're gonna withdraw from Afghanistan, we're, you know, we're, we're, you know, less wars. Is this, is this what the guy is supposed to be? Is that why they take a naked poop? There's some evidence of that, but nobody likes him. He looks like he's never gotten an hour of sleep in his life, and he sounds like he's, like he's, you know, He sounds like he's in the, what do you call when somebody's in the bag? He sounds drunk. Hammered? He sounds hammered. I can't come up with the word. Hammered Hagel. I try. Hammered Hagel. Hammered Hagel.

32:00 He sounds hammered really that's interesting yeah Poor dude Yeah, but you know but Carrie's you get it by the way go testify for commerce or Congress get hammered Might as well But Hagel, he just slipped by. I mean, Kerry, I mean, he just went, he went right through. Well, no, you can't really complain about Kerry. And it's kind of a secret weapon. He can go out and bore you. Can you imagine him? He's just there. And they're going to, every nation will capitulate to all of our desires if they don't send Kerry.

Hillary Clinton Interview, "Women and Girls" Rhetoric

A PBS interview with outgoing Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is analyzed for its repetitive use of the phrase "women and girls." The rhetoric is framed as a foundational element for a future presidential campaign. The discussion questions the lack of specific policy substance behind the "issue" of women and girls as presented in the media.

32:40 We'll do what you say, we'll do whatever you want, just don't send that guy again. Please, please. His head is so big, it's long. Go away with that. It's so long for your head and he just talks so slow. I'm really, I have to say, I'm really going to miss Hillary. I mean, what are we going to do? People don't realize this is hurting the show. You know, it's not hurting the show at all because it seems as if if you listen to these clips I got a show that was goes ago Bonnie Urbay To the contrary. It's on PBS. It's a horrible horrible show with this host. That is the worst woman in history She's terrible the worst woman in history. Yes, I think so. Okay, so of all women This is the way this show began the Hillary intro Okay

33:34 I can't wait. This week, an interview with former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. I sat down with her to talk about her incredible legacy for women and girls. You have changed the world for women and girls. Where did your passion for this issue come from? I think it came from my childhood. It probably came from learning about the difficult childhood my mother had and how important it was for girls to be given the same opportunities as boys.

34:15 I think it came from my own experience as a kind of tomboy playing in the neighborhood and hearing every so often, well, you know, girls can't play. It probably was something that was really a part of the atmosphere that I grew up in. Uh, uh, uh, uh, she can't stop saying uh. So here's the thing, here's an interesting thing in this little clip. I have three of these clips, but this one, this woman says Hillary Clinton's at this Herb A. She says Hillary Clinton. has done more for women and girls, which is a meme by the way, the two of them keep constantly saying women and girls, women and girls, women and girls. And maybe I could ask you, but I'm not absolutely sure what the point of that is, but they do it constantly. Well, this is a big thing. This is all part of the women drinking thing, women in combat. Them bitches taking over, John. We are on the down low. We're going out, boy.

35:18 That's what's happening. women in power. They're trying to make it... this is actually the beginning salvo of Hillary's run for the presidency. And so she is emphasizing all these international leaders who are all women to get everybody into the mood, that's common and so we should just put Hillary in. But the little thing here was a little... the central question is kind of a trick

35:55 Which she says Hillary's done more for women and girls blah blah blah. Well, how did you get involved in this issue? What issue if you listen to this clip? She says Hillary. How did you get involved in this issue? Women and girls are objects. They're not an issue in and of themselves. Women and girls, I'm helping women and girls. What issue? What's the issue? Where's an issue? I don't know what is the issue. Well, they're suppressed and no one likes women and girls. We don't like women and girls. Women and girls bad. It was never expressed that there were anything other than just women and girls and there was an issue but the issue was never

36:36 What the issue is, right. There is no issue. It's a full issue. Adam, I know you like to talk a lot. How did you get involved in this issue? Well, um... What issue? Why don't you... That's what you're supposed to... What issue? What are you talking about? What is the issue? There's no issue that's the point. I think the issue that you know it's the unspeakable issue there you go it's the unspeakable issue that women are clearly lesser than men in the world they are they are suppressed throughout the world and this is a fact the fact John don't even have to talk about the issue because it's a fact and you know it

Hillary Clinton's Public Image, Global Respect Claims

Media portrayals of Hillary Clinton as the "most respected woman in America" are challenged, with Oprah Winfrey suggested as a more likely candidate for the title. Clinton's own comments about her consistency in public life and her desire to harness global talent are reviewed as part of her departing legacy as Secretary of State.

hillary clinton· oprah winfrey· public perception· secretary of state· leadership

37:20 Everybody knows this fact the central question is so do it and girls are suppressed So what do we do on these other clips and play one of these I like these? How about more fawning fawning I want this is a good one on it you went from Being as you know much maligned as first lady by the right wing maligned Maligned? She wasn't maligned by the right wing. Maligned? Okay. To being the most respected woman in America and... Oh, hold on. Hold on. Excuse me, the most respected woman in America? That would always be Oprah.

37:58 Okay, go away. Perhaps the most famous woman in the world. What does that feel like for you personally? I really don't think about it. I feel like it's true, but I don't think about it Wow been the same person my entire life. I hope I've learned some things I hope I'm become more effective in doing what I believe in doing but I think I've been pretty consistent in my my professional and public activities. So I don't think about that. What I think about is how can I best

38:35 use my talents and harness the talents of others here at home and around the world to keep trying to provide the same opportunities that I took for granted as that little girl all those years ago growing up in my neighborhood. I am so grateful for the life I've lived and the opportunities I've had and I meet the most amazing girls and women everywhere. And then I eat them! So, uh, this is a clip you have your opportunity. You should have nailed it. I can't play it. I mean, I could play it every single second. So, um, let me, uh, let me interject a little clip that we didn't play or talk about on, on Thursday show, this whole media love fest of Obama and Clinton. They were the celebrities of the entire 24 hour news cycle. Love fest.

39:32 The president and Hillary Clinton in a revealing and rare joint interview has everyone reading the tea leaves. We're both buttons for punishment. Was his high praise a first sign that she is his pick for 2016? From the moment they sat down to talk with CBS News 60 Minutes, President Obama and Secretary Clinton seem like they've been the best of friends for decades. This is extra, extra. This is total show business. Show business for ugly people. And they're not even that ugly. Well, you know, obviously what's going on here and we're going to see this. This is why I don't think Hillary's out of the picture for the show. We're going to not

Obama and Clinton 60 Minutes Interview, 2016 Speculation

A rare joint interview between President Obama and Hillary Clinton on CBS's "60 Minutes" is viewed as a strategic endorsement for a 2016 presidential run. The analysis suggests Clinton is attempting to maintain her public profile while stepping down to organize a campaign, potentially creating friction with Vice President Joe Biden.

This is why I don't think Hillary's out of the picture for the show. We're going to not

40:13 There won't be a week that goes by where Hillary's not somehow in the news. And I think what it is, she's so paranoid because she lost to Obama a few years back. She wants to maintain her... She doesn't want to stay as Secretary of State because she has to start organizing a campaign. But the campaign really shouldn't begin until 2014 maybe or 2015, probably 2015. And, but she's fearful because she's so freaked about losing to Obama the first time that she thinks that she can maintain her Secretary of State status in the public eye and maintain herself in the public eye and kind of coast to the presidency. But I think she's going to burn out the audience. She's going to be, well, not her again. Oh God, can this woman get off the stage?

41:05 And I think she's right now, because it's begun too early, she's already blowing it. And Biden, by the way, can't be too happy about this. He actually would like to run for president. Yeah, he's going to be very problematic. I agree. I agree. Well, she's 69. She's suave enough right now. and uh... no she's not she's uh... no she's not sixty five isn't she? I thought she was sixty... I thought she was older than sixty five I think she's gonna be sixty nine when she uh... when she comes into office well let's take a look let's just don't be too... I know what we have to do and while you're in there can you see if uh... how tall she is? no height but she was sixty five she was born in forty seven okay so she'll be sixty nine soise enough

42:00 And, uh... Interesting. Interesting. No height. No height. I have a feeling she's not tiny. I don't think she's too tall. I think she's probably 5'8". Hmm, interesting. We need to get her height somebody out there. And then somebody has to put it in the book of knowledge. Or just make something up. Do 4'9 and put it in there now. Yeah, until somebody corrects it. Actually, that's not a bad idea. That's funny, right? We should put that in there. See what she comes back with. Bogative height. Yeah. Yeah, it's not in there. No, and I I still cannot find this. I'm so pissed at myself I saved this Twitter thing because I'd like though. This is interesting I was one of the 250,000 who apparently, you know got hacked or whatever Yeah, well, you apparently emails hack too and they took the message back it took it right away So before we continue I want to say hello Adam Curry. Well, hello John C Dvorak and in the morning to you well in the morning to you

Wikimedia Foundation Revenue, NPR Business Model Comparison

An NPR interview with Wikimedia Foundation Executive Director Sue Gardner reveals that Wikipedia's annual winter campaign generated up to $2.7 million per day. The discussion compares Wikipedia's "underwriting" model to NPR's, noting the high salaries of foundation executives despite the content being produced by unpaid volunteers. The foundation's Form 990 filings are cited to verify financial claims.

wikimedia foundation· sue gardner· npr· wikipedia· fundraising· form 990

44:39 money to actually produce the program and the only thing we don't do is commercials and and product placement. We don't have actresses to bang? No. I know. Why are we even in this business? Why are we doing this? We're dumb. This is crazy. We are dumb. That's funny. That's a shame. Actually, let me, you know, before we thank our executive producers, I would like to play, now this was caught early on by some of our producers out there, our listeners, our producers in general. On the National Treasure, NPR interviewed the CEO of Wikimedia and Wikimedia who produced Wikipedia.

45:29 And this was an outstanding, you really have to listen to this because of course we know the model for NPR is advertising or underwriting or whatever you want to call it. We've known this for a long time and even last night at the dinner, you know, I'm like, you know, so how does NPR get funded? Oh, it's by the listeners. I'm like, really? Do you hear every 15 minutes, do you hear something? Weather report? No. How about, You know, an ad where they say, Car Talk is brought to you by Pete's Auto Dealership, which is a local Austin dealership. It's advertising for a local, local business. And then there's national spots, but they just call it underwriting and support. Oh yeah. Oh, okay. Oh, okay. So Wikipedia, do you know how they make their money, John? Uh.

46:24 I would hope that they have a huge corporate interest giving them money to keep their huge corporate interest from getting slammed in the Wikipedia. You've got to listen, this is a, it's a little more than two minutes so it's a little long but it's well worth it and we'll have to discuss as it goes along and this is one of these People who very much like the Silicon Valley type say right after everything just to accentuate, you know I'm really good right and well We know fact of course that the no agenda show is the best podcast in the universe, right? And that your name is John C. Dvorak, right and I'm Adam Curry and I'm a loser, right?

47:02 But Wikipedia is brought to us by the Wikimedia Foundation. Sue Gardner is the executive director and she is the lucky winner on today's installment of Conversations from the Corner Office. Sue, I guess it's a prize if you're on the show. That's a good... I like that, Jack. We can do that. You're the lucky winner of today's Clue for the Day. Lucky winner, that's why you get paid nothing. It's good to have you with us. Thank you. You know, so to... I'm sorry, stop. Yeah, what? What was your name? Susan what? I just wanted to look her up while I'm listening. Yeah, let's listen again. I forgot. Wikimedia Foundation. Sue Gardner is the executive director and she is the lucky winner on today's installment of Conversations from the Corner Office. Sue, it's good to have you with us. Thank you. You know, so what occurred to me as I was thinking about talking to you that you guys and Public Radio kind of have a similar business model, right? You create all this content and then you have to go out and ask for money to help support it.

47:56 So, heads are whipping around in cars all across Gitmo Nation as No Agenda producers are turning up their knobs. Let's listen to this one. This is going to be great. You have the same business model. It's like you don't sell ads. You just ask people to support you, right? Yeah, that's exactly right. In fact, it's funny. I come from the CBC, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. And it was funny that I did make my way to a kind of NPR-esque model. It's different from the CBC, but it's how American public broadcasters support them. Yeah, we just ask people who like us to give us money. How's it working for you? I mean, how much time do you spend out there, you know, on the hustings? This guy's such an a-hole that he knows that they sell ads. He's like, how's that working out for you, stupid idiot? How's that working out for you? The guy does sound douchey. Oh, hey, how's that working out for you?

48:44 It's fantastic, practically none. I mean it's amazing. We do an annual campaign every winter and this year we made 2.7 million dollars a day. Stop the press! Woah! 2.7 million dollars a day! Holy crap! But that's during that campaign. The campaign I think lasts for a month. It's on for a long time. So they're doing 50 million bucks? Well in 2011 she had a salary of 196 grand. Oh, fuck! Wait a minute, if this is a foundation, do they have a Form 990? Oh my goodness. Wikipedia Foundation has got to have a Form 990. Okay, let's continue to listen to this great interview. From 430k a day last year, so it's going really, really well. They went from 430,000 a day to 2.7 million a day. A day, John. Wow. That's what you have when you have reach.

Wikipedia Editor Diversity, Gender Gap Initiatives

Wikimedia Executive Director Sue Gardner addresses the lack of diversity among Wikipedia editors, noting that 90% are male and the majority are from Western nations. The foundation is reportedly launching initiatives to recruit more women and editors from developing countries to broaden the encyclopedia's perspective and language availability.

wikipedia· sue gardner· diversity· gender gap· editors· global south

49:41 You totally need to call your local public radio station. I'm looking at the the wikipedia.org homepage here in the studio as we're talking and you know it's the one that lists all the various languages. So this is a little off topic but I just want I left this in so you can hear her say right right right right. You guys have Wikipedia's in and it is First of all, overwhelmingly English, overwhelmingly Western, not a whole lot of minority representation there. I mean, what are you guys doing to sort of broaden the bandwidth, as it were, of Wikipedia and what you guys do? Yeah, Wikipedia is actually available in 286 languages, right? So it's pretty much available in every language that is spoken by a reasonably large number of people around the world. I mean, it's available in languages like Cree, for example. Cree?

50:29 What language is this in? Cree, I think the Indian language. I thought you said queef. I speak queef. But you're right when you say that, um... English is the most edited, right? And people in developing countries tend to be disproportionately editors. But still, we aspire to broaden out the diversity of the folks who are contributing to Wikipedia so that it will be better and richer and stronger and smarter and more useful for people. Smarter. Here's another problem for you guys, and you wrote this in an op-ed in the LA Times the other day.

51:04 9 out of 10 Wikipedians, as you call them, are men, which can't be good for diversity. Yeah, it's not good at all. It's actually the single thing that kind of troubles me most about our editing community, right? It stems from, I think, the origins of the project. So when people were first interacting online in 2001, the folks who were interacting online tended to skew heavily, heavily male, so we started there. So we badly want to recruit more women. We have a number of activities designed to do it. Here's, here it comes, here it comes John. Are you sitting down? Yes, another thing that will appeal to the public radio aficionado in you and the sensitivity of what I'm about to talk about. When are you going to start putting ads on Wikipedia to pay for things? Sorry, what? When are you going to start putting ads or as we call them in public radio, underwriting?

Wikimedia Financial Transparency, Advertising Stance

Sue Gardner clarifies that the Wikimedia Foundation has no plans to introduce advertising on Wikipedia, viewing it only as a last resort to prevent a shutdown. The hosts review the foundation's 2010-2011 financial reports, noting $27 million in income and $5.5 million spent on salaries, while questioning the "underwriting" terminology used by public radio.

wikimedia foundation· sue gardner· advertising· underwriting· financial reporting

52:02 as we call them in public radio, underwriting. Underwriting. But her answer is equally as stunning on Wikipedia to start paying for things. When are we going to start doing that? Yeah. We're never going to do that. Never? No. Never is a long time, Sue. Yeah, and we do hedge a tiny little bit, right? If it were a choice of putting ads on Wikipedia or shutting down Wikipedia, we would then very reluctantly consider putting ads on Wikipedia. Okay, lovely. Wikimedia Foundation in 2011 as they have filed their form 990 timely. Are they keeping it up to date unlike the Clinton Foundation? Yes, they have filed in time. This is 2011 so they're okay. $27.191 million of income. That's nice. Awesome! Yeah, that's amazing. More power to them. Let me see what people are making over there.

53:03 Sue Gardner, $196,878. Veronique Kessler, the CFO. These are decent, these are okay salaries. For CFO, $135K is actually on the low side. Yeah, but he only works once a week. True. The deputy director... He's just signing a check for the servers. And the public is the one that does all the work. Yeah, that's true. So their total salaries and wages is $5.5 million. So, because I guess they're paying a lot of the editors now. Yeah, I think you'd have to eventually do that. You know, I have to say that as much as we use it just to do some fact-checking even though it's not a great source. I say it's fine, they should make all the money they can.

53:55 No, I'm in agreement. But I just think the killer is that NPR guy. Once again confirming the other NPR person, advertising, whatever you want to call it. Interesting, I'm sorry, this is their 9... they filed 2011 as their 2010. That's weird. So they haven't filed form... I'm sorry, they have not filed a 2011 yet. Oh, well she's making more money then. Must be well if she was doing twenty seven point two point seven million dollars a day their campaign runs for a lot longer than ten days so No, she said a month didn't she no I said a month well either either way as we call it in in in public radio we call Advertising we call underwriting Please please well, let's talk about let's thank some of our underwriters John I

56:26 I'm eliciting response. You know, that's what's interesting. I think what he's done here by wisely getting married on Valentine's Day is cut out of the equation one extra day of gift giving. One extra bull crap of the commerce day. One extra bull crap day of gift giving. The guy's a genius. Where's my Valentine's? Where is it? He's a genius. It is, this is genius Michael, genius. I'm sure the wife, she hasn't caught up to this yet, maybe she'll hear it and she'll, wait a minute! I've been scammed out of an extra gift! I've been scammed out of a gift!

57:53 Yeah, what are you learning about the lip-sync? Beyonce, huh? We should be singing at the Super Bowl and we'll all have our eyes on her. While I'm looking for this clip, did you see, by the way, how shamelessly Beyonce and the NFL pimped the national anthem to promote the damn Super Bowl? Did you see this? This is marketing at its best. I study it. I know, but it was shameful. Nobody sees it that way. And by the way, sorry, but Beyonce wasn't all that great doing that national anthem on stage. I'm sorry, it just wasn't that great.

58:37 No, she needs to be in the studio with a lot of... With Jay-Z. Just pieces of gear you've got over there. Like, carloads of them. My auto-tune? I mean, basically...

Smoking Cessation, Pasta Run Music Promotion

A host shares the personal story of quitting a 33-year smoking habit "cold turkey" as a wedding gift to his wife. The challenges of the first few weeks and the transition to a smoke-free lifestyle are discussed. Additionally, the website Pasta Run Music is promoted for a new donor.

1:04:37 And thank you for making me distrustful and paranoid. You're not trying to do that. You're very welcome. I'm looking at pasta run music right now. So let me say about your smoking, get your grains, pasta run music. That's a nice looking web page, by the way. Give me karma. Yeah, I'm just looking at this for a second. Give me a moment. Give me some karma. I got it. Check. It's nice. You've got karma. You know what? Smoke, just quit. John, how much of a smoker was I? You were terrible. What does that mean? You were rolling your own so you're getting the highest grade strong tobacco. And did you ever actually see me without a cigarette in my mouth?

1:05:22 Yeah, it wasn't in your mouth, but it was over in the area. It was in the vicinity of your mouth. You weren't the type that talked with a cigarette in your mouth. That's the worst. No. You just got to stand. You got an area of the teeth that are blackened by smoke. But where would we have meetings, you and I? Outside. Why? Because you had to be smoking all the time. Yeah, exactly. And if we went to dinner, what would invariably happen at dinner? You had to smoke. Yeah, and I'd go outside and smoke. I've been a smoker for 33 years, rolling my own and I just quit. I just said no mas. I'm no longer a slave to the man. Of course my lovely wife quit with me and that was our wedding gift to each other. There's something about that because you know it's like if you then start smoking again then you're a total a-hole because then you like took back the wedding gift.

1:06:14 That's a good bit. Right? Yeah, it's a little, it's a cute little idea. So we both quit, but it was, you know, the first two weeks were hard and I went, I quit on a Wednesday and we had the show on Thursday and, and smoking during the show was really my thing. I mean, people don't realize it, but all that bitching and moaning about, Oh, I hear your lighter clicking. Stop clicking your lighter, your lighter's I don't get a million people saying, hey man, that's great you uh... That's great that you uh... that you uh... that you stop smoking. I don't hear your lighter click. No one's emailing me that. Of course.

1:06:55 And so it's two weeks is hard, but then, you know, it goes in fours for me. It's like four days. Hey, now all of a sudden we've done four weeks, then we've done four months, and it might as well be four years or four decades. So we are now at, we're in our six month, half a year, half a year smoke-free. That's it. And all they do is talk about it. No, I don't talk about it. That's bull crap. Onward. Anyway, yeah, he's probably right. Just go cold turkey and just gut it out. Yeah, just what's the what's like when you go cold turkey you get the shakes? No, no, you do like to suck penis more

Hillary Clinton's CFR Speech, Global Rules-Based Order

Hillary Clinton's speech to the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) is analyzed for its emphasis on a "just rules-based international order." The speech touched on global power distribution, intellectual property rights, and the Law of the Sea Treaty. The hosts interpret these "rules of the road" as a framework for globalist control over resources and labor.

hillary clinton· council on foreign relations· new world order· intellectual property· law of the sea treaty· fair labor

1:09:33 So she was speaking at her favorite drinking club, the Council on Foreign Relations. Which of course is totally my favorite drinking club, A, because they won't allow me in it, and B, it's where people decide what the New World Order is going to do to ruin our world. So a very interesting speech and I encourage everyone to listen to the in its entirety because it is full of elitism and America F. Yay, and you know, we're just gonna go and kill everybody and run the world That's pretty much seriously what her speech is about. You can find it in the show notes for eight four dot na show notes calm and

1:10:10 But I did pull a little clip here which shows how she, as our future president, is a member of the New World Order Illuminati and plans to continue the destruction of the Earth. At the same time we face challenges from financial contagion to climate change to human and wildlife trafficking that spill across borders and defy unilateral solutions. As President Obama has said, the old post-war architecture is crumbling under the weight of new threats. I love this. This is great. It's crumbling, John. It is crumbling away. So the geometry of global power has become more distributed and diffuse. As the challenges we face have become more complex and cross-cutting.

1:11:00 So the question we ask ourselves every day is what does this mean for America? Every day I get up too and I think what does it all mean for America? What does it mean for humanity or for the children? What does it mean for America, my America? And then we go on to say, how can we advance our own interests and also uphold? How can we go kill some people so we can go steal their crap? A just rules-based international order. There you go. That's it. A just rules-based international order. Yes!

1:11:38 A system that does provide clear rules of the road for everything from intellectual property rights to freedom of navigation to fair labor standards. Rules of the road, slave! Can't you read the rules of the road? Didn't you take your living license test? Simply put, we have to be smart about how we use our power. Can you back it up a little bit? I want to get to three. She had copyright, Ocean Act, which is what she's referring to, and there was a third one. Was it climate change? Go back, I'm going back a little bit. Rules of the road for everything from intellectual property rights to freedom of navigation to fair labor standards. Fair labor, ah slavery. Slavery. So it's the Law of the Sea Treaty which is basically taking away turf. What was the second one?

1:12:32 The first one was copyright. Copyright, SOPA, PIPA, all that stuff. SOPA, PIPA, and then the Ocean Act. We own the copyright on your DNA. So you want to eat that pig? Sorry, that's copyrighted by Monsanto. So they own the pig. Then there's the Law of the Sea. Was it the Oceans Treaty? Oceans 14? What is it? Yeah, whatever it is. More UN stuff. Take away your oil and your property. And then slavery. So make sure that you remain slaves and serfs. Simply put, we have to be smart about how we use our power, not because we have less of it. Indeed, the might of our military, the size of our economy, the influence of our diplomas. Look at my dick! And the creative energy of our people remain unrivaled.

Architecture Metaphors, Frank Gehry vs. Greek Geometry

Hillary Clinton used architectural metaphors to describe global diplomacy, comparing the post-war era of Truman and Acheson to the Parthenon's "classical geometry." She suggested the new world requires a "Frank Gehry" style of architecture—more complex and diffuse. The hosts mock the comparison, suggesting Gehry's "crumpled paper" designs are an apt metaphor for a chaotic new international order.

hillary clinton· frank gehry· architecture· parthenon· truman· acheson

1:13:17 No, it's because as the world has changed, so too have the levers of power that can most effectively shape international affairs. Now she wraps this up with just a beautiful comparison and it blew me away that this is what she's actually suggesting. I've come to think of it like this. This is Hillary's philosophy, ladies and gentlemen. Pay very close attention and for those of you who aren't familiar with architecture, get the Googles ready. Truman and Acheson were building the Parthenon with classical geometry and clear lines. The pillars were a handful of big institutions and alliances dominated by major powers, and that structure delivered unprecedented peace and prosperity. But time takes its toll even on the greatest edifice.

1:14:12 And we do need a new architecture for this new world. This is a question, ask John question. So she is saying the architecture, the underpinnings, the foundation of our current day world are crumbling under the heavy weight of us trampling on everybody. And so we need to make it look better. We need a new architecture for a new rules-based order. What architect could you compare her vision to?

1:14:49 I don't know. You tell me. You gotta just... I mean, you know a little bit about architecture. Well, I mean, if she wants to go with modern architect and she wants to go with that glass house I.M. Pei look... You know where everything is a tall glass building as compared to what you were getting from the Truman I don't know where she credits him for but okay, so I think she may be referring to the Truman establishment of the CIA She's talking about the American she's talking about Greek architecture Truman that the design the parthenon. Yeah, the Parthenon. Well then you would go from there to, I don't know, some renaissance structures or you'd go, I don't know what she's up to. It sounds to me, to be honest about it, that this is all a frontispiece for another attack on the Constitution. Well, let's listen to her favorite architect for the new, this is what you can look forward to when she's suave enough in four years, President Hillary Clinton.

1:15:48 Frank Gehry than formal Greek. Oh my God. Now for those of you who don't know Frank Gehry, I personally, I love Frank Gehry as an architect, but this is not the, I mean, it's like, are we going to be high in this world all the time? If you look. Frank Gehry is like, he is, he's a genius, but he's the one for people who aren't familiar with the part. Just Google it. I mean, he makes these gobbledygook, the best bit was he was on The Simpsons once. as a guest star and they were trying to talk him into building the local, the new theater for the, because they burned it, Homer burnt down the place or something like that. And so she goes to Frank Gehry and asks him if he would be the architect of this whole thing. And he, she hands him a piece of paper and he looks at it and says, no, I can't do this. This is beneath me. And he crumples up the paper and throws it onto the ground. And then he looks at the crumpled up paper and he picks it up. He goes, oh my God, there it is. I'm a genius.

1:16:47 the crumpled pieces of paper. And that's what his designs look like. They look like crumpled up pieces of paper. Well, you know, like the dancing buildings, which is, I think, one of his more recent pieces. I mean, it's fantastic. I mean, it's really amazing to look at. But is that going to be the foundation of our government? buildings on crack building that looks just too screwy like we're on expensive like we're all expensive and we're all on acid that's basically that's the message that is the foundation of the new international rules base order subtext of this ready yeah she wants Frank Gehry to design her house

1:17:28 She doesn't, you know, do something for you. That's exactly right. You're so right. You're spot on. I give you a ding for that. Of course. She's like, I want Frank Gehry to do it for free. And I kiss his ass because he doesn't do houses. He's not a big house guy. Yeah, he does build. But he would for her. Yeah. So we can put it in the Red Book. Frank Gehry. Frank Gehry designs house. Designs house for Hillary. A good one. Yeah, I'm down with that. I hadn't even thought of that angle yet, but put it in the book, please. That's very good. It's very very good. In it goes. So people, don't send me the Twitter password. Oh wait, maybe this is the... Yes, here it is. I've got the Twitter email. I've got the Twitter email. An hour and 25 minutes and you finally found it.

Military Training Exercises, Simulated Urban Warfare in U.S. Cities

Coordinated military training exercises involving helicopters and simulated gunfire have been reported in multiple U.S. cities, including Houston, Miami, and Los Angeles. These "realistic urban training" events are criticized for desensitizing the public to a heavy military presence in domestic civilian areas.

Oh, you want to hear the list of cities that they did this? It was this coordinated all on the same day. Oh Well, let me see. There's a bunch of articles hooked up. I'm almost of the opinion that it was. What was the date that that one took place in Florida? No, the Minneapolis one was in August. It was August 27. So no, they were all, I guess they spot, they spread a few of them out. Minneapolis, St. Paul. Yeah. Denver. Yeah. Houston, which we reported. Galveston, Los Angeles, which we reported. Laredo,

Healthcare System Revamp, Nursing Acuity Shifts

A report from a nursing student highlights significant changes in the healthcare system, where procedures are being pushed "downstream" to lower-level providers to save money. High-acuity cases that were previously managed in the ICU are now being moved to regular medical-surgical floors, where patient-to-nurse ratios are less stringent.

healthcare· nursing· icu· telemetry· patient-to-nurse ratio· acute care

1:21:17 Listening to the discussion on the Sundays, a couple Sundays ago, about health care providers, you're 100% correct. It's a generic term used to refer to whoever is providing your health care service. It may refer to an MD, DO, physician's assistant, family nurse practitioner, or even an RN. I'm currently in nursing school and I am shocked at the changes rolling through the health care system. They are pushing many procedures downstream to lower levels of providers to save money. It's having a massive effect on the acute care hospital setting, for example. They have increased the level of acuity on the regular meds, surge and telemetry floors. Cases that used to be sent to the ICU are now sent to the floor. ICU is expensive with a mandated patient to nurse ratio of two to one.

1:22:09 the floor that he's talking about has a much more relaxed ratio of four to one. I'm not sure if it's a man or woman because I actually crossed out the name because they didn't want to be mentioned. Plus, like any profession, there are some really good nurses and some not so good ones. Typically, the really astute ones are in critical care. And he goes on and on. But yeah, apparently their whole system is being revamped. Well, you just take your money. It's funny you bring that up because in the federal register, As you know this is this is something that all journalists should you can you can like get an RSS feed?

Affordable Care Act, Shared Responsibility Payment Penalties

The IRS has issued proposed regulations for the "Shared Responsibility Payment" under the Affordable Care Act, which penalizes individuals who do not maintain minimum essential health coverage. By 2016, a family of five could face an annual tax penalty of up to $20,000 for remaining uninsured. The document outlines exemptions for certain religious beliefs and financial hardships.

affordable care act· irs· shared responsibility payment· health insurance· tax penalty· 2016

1:22:47 updates when something's new on the Federal Register, but you know, why would any journalist do anything? Look at this. Too much work. An article appeared on the 1st of February. Shared Responsibility Payment for Not Maintaining Minimum Essential Coverage is the title of this particular document, which contains proposed regulations relating to the requirement to maintain minimum essential coverage enacted by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 as amended by the TRICARE for Affirmation Act and Public Law 111-173. These proposed regulations provide guidance on the liability for the shared responsibility payment. Shared responsibility payment. That's actually what a donation is to NOAA Agenda. It's a shared responsibility payment.

1:23:37 for not maintaining minimum essential coverage. This document also provides notice of a public hearing on these proposed regulations, so So this is essentially an IRS document because as you know the IRS will be checking to see if you are maintaining your minimal health care insurance. And if you have a job, unless you're a bum and then you have to pay something, if you don't, or you have to carry insurance, health insurance, if you don't, then you will be penalized. And they've put in here, and this is what's very interesting, a key.

1:24:14 This is like trying to understand your taxes. It is literally a part of your taxes. And you're like, okay, how am I going to calculate how much I would have to owe if I don't have health insurance? And a couple things I want to point out about this document. One, exempt individuals. Many individuals are exempt from the shared responsibility payment. including those some whose religious beliefs conflict with acceptance of the benefits of private or public insurance and those who do not have an affordable health insurance coverage option available. I like that it says many individuals because I'd like to be one of the many individuals so I might have to find God or something because what it boils down to and I have not been able to calculate this by myself but I've been looking at many

1:25:07 experts around the blogosphere and the way they calculate it, essentially for a family of five, the lowest possible coverage on an annual basis in 2016, because it ramps up, will be $20,000 per family. So you're looking at $4,000 of insurance per slave per year And if you do not carry insurance, that's what you will have to pay in additional tax, including for every person you are responsible for. You have to pay $20,000 in taxes if you're not insured? Correct.

1:25:53 I didn't know the number was going to be that high. That's outrageous. For a family of five. Yeah, well, okay, it's average family, let's say, is four. And that's in 2016. This starts in 2014 where it will be about half. They ratcheted it up at, what's the first year? Is there any family event? It's half. Yeah, yeah, no, but the amount will be about half, about $2,400 per person. Only $10,000. Yeah, per slave. So I'm thinking, There may actually be... Let's find, wait, let's find a religion that makes, that gets exempt and let's buy stock in that religion. I think Islam is one of them actually. Funny enough. Oh no. As-salamu alaykum brother John.

Insurance Network Limitations, Pharmaceutical Pricing Scams

The limitations of modern insurance networks are discussed, noting that many alternative or specialized doctors do not accept major plans like Blue Cross Blue Shield. The segment also critiques the pharmaceutical industry, specifically how companies buy out generic manufacturers to keep prices high, citing the drug ProVigil as an example.

blue cross blue shield· hmo· provigil· generic drugs· pharmaceutical industry· insurance networks

1:26:36 Come on we can just do that in the awesome alike and brother John how do you know any of these words just say awesome? Like him There's got to be some other groups at yeah, okay, so now funny though the Islam's would get let me well Yeah, it's it's about insurance, but let me ask you this I So I'm always looking for ways around this bullcrap and what we've discovered is that the real good health care that we want, which is definitely somewhat alternative, is not in our network. Or the doctor you like, sorry we don't take Blue Cross Blue Shield.

1:27:20 So here's an idea. If it's gonna, I mean, let's just say... How can someone not take Blue Cross Blue Shield? There's some other scam going on because they have the most money. Yeah, well, I'm just saying. Oh no, because they're like real nice doctors who don't prescribe drugs immediately. They got other things for you and they send you to the compounding pharmacist who makes your hormones for your thyroid out of stuff that is natural and is not synthesizing this crap. That's why. That's why they're not in the network. I mean, I don't think I have to explain that to you, right? Okay. And I'm playing the game. So why can't, wouldn't it be great if you could get, because you know, you want health insurance if you have an accident, you know, you get some horrible disease. But for all the other stuff, I'm thinking, can't you just get an insurance with a $20,000 deductible?

1:28:16 Well, if you remember, originally health insurance was exactly for that. It was for horrible situations where you had to be hospitalized. There was none of this what we see today. It was when the HMO guy started showing up with their grand scheme. They go, you know, I have an idea. We'll charge health insurance, but they get all these extra services and they get to see a doctor and all that. Everything would be covered by this insurance. It's not really insurance. It's kind of a scam. And there are the guys who pushed through all this, all those kinds of legislation, which kind of promoted the idea. And they also made the deal with the drug company saying, look, here's once the everything is covered by insurance, you can rack up, you can change the prices.

1:28:53 to anything you want them to be with no there's no regulation on pricing drugs so you can and all of drug prices have gone up for no apparent reason and in fact even with generic drugs you find a lot of generic drugs now the companies that made The regular drug bought the company that manufactured the generic drugs and they kept the prices the same. I mean this is, here's a good example, ProVigil which went generic and they had, so they bought, and it's expensive, it's like 10 or 20 bucks a pill. And most of it is sold to the military, because all the Air Force pilots use it if they're going to be in the air a long time. So they sell it to the military at 10 or 20 bucks a pill, full ticket, maybe give them a discount, 15. And then it went- You say that like you're doing the deal yourself.

1:29:41 And then it goes generic. They bought the generic company, the price on the generic is actually more expensive. Yay! That's a game right there. It's an unbelievable scam and it's like where there's no hearings on it, nobody gives a crap. Don't worry about it. Most of it's going to the government anyway. It's just government waste. So hear me out now. So Mickey's doctor, the one she really likes, the one who was not covered by Blue Cross, charges $95 for a consult which is actually I think a very reasonable price and you know that's an hour and you know and he's talking with her and you know then you know an hour I mean $100 an hour should be 150

Out-of-Pocket Healthcare, High-Deductible Insurance Strategy

A strategy for navigating the healthcare system involves paying out-of-pocket for preferred doctors while maintaining high-deductible insurance for catastrophic events. The hosts argue that the current system encourages unnecessary visits for minor issues, whereas direct payment for services like chiropractic care or specialized consultations provides better value and personal control.

1:28:53 to anything you want them to be with no there's no regulation on pricing drugs so you can and all of drug prices have gone up for no apparent reason and in fact even with generic drugs you find a lot of generic drugs now the companies that made The regular drug bought the company that manufactured the generic drugs and they kept the prices the same.

It's an unbelievable scam and it's like where there's no hearings on it, nobody gives a crap. Don't worry about it. Most of it's going to the government anyway. It's just government waste. So hear me out now. So Mickey's doctor, the one she really likes, the one who was not covered by Blue Cross, charges $95 for a consult which is actually I think a very reasonable price and you know that's an hour and you know and he's talking with her and you know then you know an hour I mean $100 an hour should be 150

1:30:22 And he's 95 so I think that's a great thing. It's a very very very good value for money And of course we pay for that literally we pay for that now if Mickey wants to get some party drugs You know like you know Vicodin and stuff like that she goes to the doctor in the network, and she says oh I can't sleep you know up to Mazapan Yeah, you know my back hurts up Vicodin, and I'm not talking one or two. I'm talking 50. I'm So we get the party drugs from that doctor and it's all covered by insurance because she's our drug dealer. But when you really are sick, she goes to the chiropractor, Dr. Ryan, who literally I told you about, she had the vertigo.

1:31:03 No, I never heard about the vertigo. Oh, didn't I tell you this? She sure wasn't an inner ear infection? No, it's because of the cedar, because she has a cedar allergy. Oh, and you're in a cedar area. Yeah, and she's already doing quite well with the allergy with what the voodoo doctor is doing for her, but still she has a little inflammation inside her head. But Dr. Ryan, who was actually a friend of ours, so he didn't charge anything, he said, oh, you know, I just need to do a quick adjustment on your Atlas or whatever. And so, because it's not draining out properly and he like snapped her head, which was an awesome, awesome sight to see.

1:31:41 and it was gone. She's not walking around butt first now is she? And you know, Ryan is our friend so he does that for nothing but normally you know he's like 80, 75 bucks I think an hour. You know these are very normal prices for a good service but you don't need to go you know 20, was it 200 times a year you know so I think you know you also you would go less you're like oh you know it's like I feel the pain in my pinky let's go to the doctor no you're like let me see how I do you know see if I'll be okay and you regulate another thing that's been brought up is that some people have noticed one of the problems with the whole thing being insured including doctors visits with the copay pay ten bucks is that it's usually did somebody just mentioned this was a lot of old ladies

1:32:36 will pay the ten bucks and go into moaning groan about their you know, bursitis. Whatever, yeah. Because they have their sons and daughters don't visit them anymore, they have no friends. Yeah, exactly. And they just assume sit in the office or talk to the doctor for a couple hours. Like paying for a hooker. It's the same thing. Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean that. But you know, some people might drink some tea made of, I don't know, the magical plant marijuana or maybe smoke some weed, whatever. There's a million things you could do which would save you the money. So I don't think we need to be spending $20,000, let's just say $10,000. We may spend $10,000 but then I want to be able to spend it on who I want. Now I'm spending it twice. I'm spending it on the damn insurance and I'm spending it on the doctors we actually want to go to. So I want insurance that has a $20,000 deductible. Whatever I'm going to have to pay in 2016, I'll pay for it and I'll pay for it directly to the guys I want. Because you're going to pay for it anyway.

CHAPTER 31 / 53 Discussion

Insurance Business Model, Warren Buffett and Premiums

The business model of insurance is examined, with a focus on how high-deductible plans generate profit from low-risk customers. The history of HMOs, starting with Kaiser Permanente, is contrasted with modern "scams" that the hosts claim prioritize corporate profit over actual healthcare delivery.

warren buffett· insurance premiums· risk management· kaiser permanente· hmo

1:33:37 And then if I'm in an accident and I have a real bill, you know, wow, that's when obviously I need the insurance. Do you think I can get this, John? Or is this maybe another opportunity for the Curry-Dvorak Insurance Company? I don't know, I think you probably could get it, I don't know where you'd get it, you may have to, I don't know, I don't know what's available. Lloyds of London! You should play the Curry Pet Peeve jingle after you're done with this, whatever you're doing. Well, no, that's kind of where I was at, I mean I was just looking at these numbers, I'm like, oh my God, this is... It's an outrage. It's an outrage. And you're right. I remember the HMOs. It was like the whole, it was like, yeah, this is cool. You pay one amount and then you guys always there and you can go in for everything. Which is nothing new. I mean, this was actually invented by Kaiser. Kaiser Permanente used to be the pretty much the only HMO.

1:34:25 And it was always a fair operation, pretty well managed. It was done mostly for the employees, generally speaking of Kaiser. They figured they can do their own system. Because they, you know, especially during World War II, they had all these ship building places, there were cement companies, Kaiser was everywhere. And I worked for Kaiser one summer and I got free medical from them and got part of that system. I always thought it was amenable, the doctors were decent and everything was fine. But then some bright guy came up with the idea, you know, we can use this to gouge the public. But if you really think about it, I mean Warren Buffett, who of course is an incredible a-hole because he won't do this, but it's and he's in the insurance business. It's really a guaranteed money maker.

1:35:10 If you have a $20,000 deductible, people are not going to be tapping into the insurance probably ever within that year, but they're still going to pay their relatively low premium. So you can get a couple million people paying you $100 a month for something they really aren't going to use. of that customer base is going to have an accident or wind up needing some type of services that go way beyond the deductible. It's going to be pretty low. You're going to make money on it. You're just going to make money on it. But not as much as this scam, obviously.

CHAPTER 32 / 53 Discussion

Gun Owner Insurance, Reuters Media Campaign

Reuters is criticized for promoting a "mandatory million-dollar insurance" scheme for gun owners as a workaround for gun control legislation. The proposal suggests that insurers would act as regulators by charging higher premiums for certain types of firearms or younger owners. The hosts argue this imposes an unconstitutional burden on a fundamental right.

gun control· reuters· insurance· second amendment· sandy hook· mandatory coverage

1:35:52 This is great. So just on the insurance thing and by the way the deleting money went to Obama from these operations. Yeah, hello. So we brought up the concept of gun and gun owners insurance on the previous episode and I went to looking And just several days after the Sandy Hook's horrific, unspeakable incident, Reuters television So on December 14th, this is maybe three days later I think, Reuters television has this conversation and this is their you know their news breakers or whatever windbreakers whatever the these douchebags are but it's Reuters sending out the message to all of the Reuters affiliates.

1:36:40 We've been discussing a few ideas for gun control in the wake of the massacre on Friday. Some financial ideas, if we can see if we can come up with any. And one that we were talking about earlier this morning was, Rob, an insurance scheme for guns. How would this work? Well, first off, it gets around some of the contentious ideas of how to actually limit guns. Because what you're saying is, you're saying, OK, guns have effects. Certain people get killed. say mandatory million-dollar coverage and that goes to compensating the victims. Isn't that a great little meme? Mandatory million-dollar coverage. And also what it does is it forces every gun owner to have to buy insurance for their weapons. And that does two things. Insurers will have to start to discriminate and they'll charge higher policies for various sorts of guns. Like any insurance policy, say for cars, to say okay well here's someone who's young

1:37:26 They've got the dumb kind of like a TMZ format. We've got some a-hole standing up in like the editorial offices and all the other, you know, the little journalists are sitting down. Standing in front of a grain screen. Exactly. Who has never really shown they can handle a gun before. They don't know what they're going to do. Yeah, for instance, you know, a 21 year old buying a semi-automatic is going to pay a really high price. Let's just take a random example a 21 year old with a semi-automatic. I mean just a random example Okay, you know versus hunter who's been to safety classes has you know uses gun is had it for 40 years a single problem Probably won't be very much at all not a single problem 40 years. I've never killed anybody with my gun Brenda if we turn this to the

1:38:08 and tell you that's the head now now listen to this guy the constitutional expert of the team to read even think about what this means for the constitution for the safety put up insurance on guns does it somehow limits the ability well that's right i mean it makes a lot of sense of music cars you know people are required to have insurance because they need to be responsible for the day of that list listen to his is how we works in this how we makes us fit with the second amendment which he clearly has never even read. ensures that Congress shall make no law against the fundamental right to gun ownership. Let's make that very clear. No law shall be made against that fundamental right. Douchebag. And although I think a certain amount of insurance would be fine, if you start making it too expensive, you start putting too great a burden on a fundamental right, and you raise a constitutional issue. So it's okay to do it a little bit,

1:39:18 But if it costs too much, then it's a constitutional issue apparently. How does that work? I know! This is Reuters, John! This is like the prostitute joke, you know. I already destablished your one, now I'm just trying to get the price right. Yeah, I mean, this is Reuters, you know. This is not insignificant that it's these guys who are saying this stuff. Because they do influence... Very bad, very bad. Now, I just have a couple of things on the war on ammo. So, Aaron Burnett. As we say here in Texas, because everything is Burnet Road. She did the most horrible thing. Now we know that as a part of this whole gun conversation, which by the way I just I want to point out that we have military doing exercises over our cities. We're going to have the Sandy Hook children will be singing at the Super Bowl apparently like,

Video Games vs. Mass Shootings, Erin Burnett Interview

CNN's Erin Burnett is criticized for her interview with psychologist William Pollack, where she asserted as "fact" that violent video games like Grand Theft Auto cause mass shootings. Pollack's attempt to shift the focus to broader media violence was dismissed by Burnett, who maintained that video games are the primary driver of youth violence.

erin burnett· video games· grand theft auto· mass shootings· media violence· william pollack

1:40:11 You know, it's like, oh, we can't have guns, you know, guns are bad. But of course, the Super Bowl will start with jets flying overhead and military marching bands. It's like guns are great in America as long as you don't have them. All right. Just the insanity of this. And of course we are looking at insanity literally from a perspective of are people drugged? And now everyone's coming out and saying, well, you know, there's a high correlation between these mass shootings and these guys have been on drugs except they never actually report that. They only say it after the fact a little bit. It's never like he was on drugs. Never ever is that in the report. Um, but the high correlation between video games, not the media.

1:40:52 It's not television and movies because, no, we give them a tax break, we love them because they help get our politicians elected and stay in office. So we will stay away from the media but we will tackle video games. So Erin Burnett has a constitutional law professor on from Harvard and she is going to state the fact that video games make, turn men into violent mass shooters. Fact. And he's going to debunk it and she's going to just steamroll over him, particularly when he goes off script. You'll like it. Or he's declined. There's the saying that guns don't kill people, video games do. Do you know this saying, John?

1:41:42 I've never heard this saying, this old saying. This old saying that comes from the wild west. Guns don't kill people, video games kill people. Oh but wait there's more. Senator Grassley implies they make kids more violent. Does it add up? William Pollack is a psychologist and author of Real Boys, rescuing our sons from the myths of boyhood. Sir, I really appreciate your taking the time. Let me just ask you the point-blank question. It is a lot of people out there now, this is accepted as a fact that all these violent games and by the way they are horrifically violent. It's accepted as a fact. It's accepted as a fact. Do you hear what she's saying? Yeah, she says it's accepted as a fact when in fact it's not accepted as a fact, just the opposite. Is why we are seeing this seemingly explosion in mass shootings. True?

1:42:29 No, not true. I mean, I agree with the senator. We should put some controls on those video games, but they don't cause the shootings anything more than one item does. So this is where already Aaron's like, who invited this guy? It's a fact. It's a fact. And that man did say that he trained on a video game. Oh, I have no doubt about it. I agree with Senator Grassley. We need controls over violence in our media and in our- Ooh, oh no! Oh no, he didn't! He didn't say violence in our media, did he? Oh, Aaron, Aaron, get to work, girl. Video games, especially for younger children. But that alone isn't the answer. Isn't causing- Isn't causing the violence. Those controls- Yeah.

1:43:16 But what about, let me just ask you another question about Grand Theft Auto. So let's go right over the media thing, let's go right back to video games. Grand Theft Auto. There's probably some viewers out there playing this all the time. Alright, this turns, when you kill people, you win points, right? For example, you kill a prostitute and that's a big thing. You get to win points. I mean, you know, I find that offensive and disgusting, but... Hold on, Erin. As a prostitute, I find that offensive. Exactly. As a prostitute, I find that very offensive. You don't kill hookers? I find that offensive. That would be like me. Does that mean that those people who play that game are more likely to kill people?

1:44:00 No, it's heinous. It's more than that. So he's saying no now she's gonna have to discredit this guy, law professor. It's heinous and it's possible that boys who watch that for a long period of time might stand back when fighting occurs and not protect someone or engage in domestic violence but there's no proof that they're gonna go out get a gun and shoot someone. Absolutely no proof at all. Alright, well thank you very much. We appreciate your taking the time and giving some provocative answers there. Provocative answers. Provocative answers. Yes, controversial and provocative answers. So this is what it's going to be. Fact. Guns don't kill people. Video games kill people. Fact.

Amtrak Security Announcements, "See Something Say Something"

Audio from an Amtrak station illustrates the pervasive "See Something, Say Something" campaign, requiring passengers to carry identification and submit to random baggage searches. The hosts compare these constant security reminders and the presence of canine teams to Orwellian surveillance tactics that the public has largely accepted.

1:49:56 If you see something, say something. And here is what it sounds like when you're at the train station as recorded by a No Agenda producer. Passengers are required to have valid identification at all times. Have valid identification at all times in the train. Why? Because, shut up slave! You don't ask questions. Listen to the whole thing. Passengers are required to have valid identification at all times. Randomly selected passengers, their baggage, handbags, backpacks or other personal items may be inspected. In addition, you may notice and track police canine teams in the station. The dogs are trained to detect specific materials on you, person and around you. Please do not approach or pet police dogs. For your safety and security, remember to be aware of your surroundings and keep personal items in close proximity.

1:50:49 If you observe suspicious activity or unattended luggage, notify Amtrak police or station personnel or call 1-800-331-0008. Remember, say something, say something. Thank you and be safe. Bwah! Heil, everybody! How, how? Were they blowing up train stations? When did that happen? Was some trains being derailed by terrorists? When did that happen? Yeah, in the... When were trains being attacked or even targeted or even talked about? In Madrid. In Madrid. 2000... 10 years ago! Yeah. But I love the whole Orwellian, Be safe, citizen!

I guess at a certain point, you don't give a crap anymore, do you? Are you just done? You just not care anymore. Is that it? I'm of the opinion this is hilarious because you don't need to take the train, maybe. Well, I don't take the train. But if you do that, I mean, I'm about to recording these things, too. And it's like, wow, people put up with this. That's what gets me. I mean, if I reconviction mode all we want, it's like the public thinks it's great.

1:52:30 They pretend the news media backs them up by only recording going out on the street with their microphone and sticking it into somebody's face who will say, oh, it's better to be safe than sorry. It's better to be safe than sorry. I think if it makes us safer, it's better. It's better to be safe than sorry. I like it because it makes me feel safer. You know, so instead of putting the microphone in somebody's face who says, this sucks. What are we, Nazi Germany? No, no, don't use that. Use the guy who says it'd be better to be safe than sorry. Yeah, exactly. So whose fault is this? It's the media. They're not helping the situation. No, it's not the media's fault. They're doing what they're told to do. It's different.

But then she resigned and then she turned herself in like a week later. And you know, this is, it sucks. Whenever this happens, you get a kid dying, someone runs a red light, you know, I don't even know if there was alcohol involved or not. It's irrelevant. Very, very, very, very sad. And you know, the teacher was not like a douchebag. But there's, you know, I just want to, so this teacher emails me, I don't want to give her name because it was so easy for me to find her that I don't want to put her career in jeopardy.

1:54:01 But so we're emailing back and forth. He says, you know, I'm really worried about this. And, you know, by the way, you know, I'm a teacher and, you know, and I've only just started listening to NOAA Agenda. But I'm very worried about what I'm seeing happening because of how the media is involved in this particular incident. And I just want to read her most recent response to me, because it really made me think about how crazy we are making or allowing ourselves to be made by media. Unfortunately, the district has been in the news a few times this year with unfortunate events. Prior to the hit and run, it was a sex scandal involving a high school band director and a student. Come on, the band director, I mean, please. I've been trying to keep up with all the news stories and comments from the public. Now, most rational people like you and I or people who know her personally, this is the girl, the teacher who killed the student, know it was a case of good person, horrible mistake.

1:54:56 But parents in the community aren't. Aside from the fact that the parents are angry at all the media attention the school has been getting, they have to kick news crews off campus, who camp outside on the sidewalk, plus a good portion of the school population are not here legally, that's another interesting little point, they are undocumented Americans, that's the new meme. Parents are now starting to question why the school would hire a killer because she's no longer a driver who hit a child and drove off. No, she's a teacher who killed a six-year-old. I was reading through people's comments on different news articles and social media sites and was appalled by the amount of people asking how a district could hire someone like this and commenting on the fact that these are the people teaching our children and how teachers are void of moral compass and we shouldn't put them on a pedestal. Now, I agree with that, she says, it implies we're some sort of

1:55:49 superhuman child-rearing beings from God. I think most forget that teachers are just regular human beings and of course someone chimes in with, these are the people you want to arm with guns and it turns into a whole new argument completely. Maybe it hits me a little bit harder because I'm in the teaching profession but it's difficult to hear a child walk into class and say my mom doesn't want me to go to school anymore because y'all murder people. Wow. Right? Yeah well this is a sick country now. This is beyond sick. This is the media that does this to people. Yes, well it's people allowing the media to do it to them, which is why you are so... No, I don't think, yeah, well you can say it that way, but that's an enlightened point of view that nobody has. We are raised to believe the media. The media has...

1:56:36 essentially brainwashed us in a way that's kind of hard to figure out. Because this is the free press country and there's no free press here. Well, I mean, our show is kind of free press, but this is a marginal operation compared to the New York Times. Well, yes. Or any one of those TV stations locally. Those things are very influential in their area. Yes, but baby steps, John. Baby steps. We've got 10,000 people we're saving. That's a start. Well we probably have listeners in the... our listenership is a lot higher but you're probably right, only the 10,000 who actually donate on occasion. If you don't donate, you're lost! I think so. You'll die!

1:57:23 And by the way, of course we all know what teachers are really for. They're there to have sex with the students if they're hot. I mean, come on, we all know what teachers are for. Hello, everybody! I'm gonna show my support by donating to No Agenda. Imagine all the people who could do that. Oh yeah, that'd be fab. So I before we begin I we did get a letter from valued cardholder This is our executive producer on episode for a show yes value value Yes, and he says valued cardholder here

CHAPTER 38 / 53 Discussion

Valued Cardholder, Robotics and Drone Software Ethics

An executive producer, "Sir Valued Cardholder," shares his perspective as a robotics major on the ethics of developing software for military drones. The segment includes a discussion on the irony of listening to alternative media while being surrounded by mainstream "telescreens" in public spaces.

1:58:03 uh... isn't his name is uh... see what he said he wants his name to be instead in the low noticed it since it was sort of james d but he had which is is which is is i don't believe his name is james drive shaft but anyway maybes it's possible to any part of the body possible any time So he says he apparently the email was bounced on him or something. So here's his email for his executive producer of the last show in the morning. In the morning, Robin Curry, Little John C., and Maid Mickey, who take from the corporate news and give to the poor. I am honored to send his donation. Thanks for the best podcast in the universe and the anticipant of the revelations that will come from deep throat. He's looking forward to that.

Oz the view or some other equally in named bullshit The almost too delicious irony of no agenda in my ears while watching that garbage is all the motivation I need to keep running. Yeah, it'll keep all that the knowledge that eventually the drones will come for us all as not as John done Certainly meant to say for whom the bell the drones fly they fly for thee. It's a good one. I like it Anyway, he graduated a major in robotics and every time I see another story about the post posthumous militants and their loved ones I can't help but think that I was if I was raised differently it could very well have been me working on software for the next batch of death from above

1:59:55 And he plans on becoming a knight and he wants to be sir valued customer. A card holder. Sir valued card holder. And what he wanted was the no agenda, he wanted the Dr. Kiki, two to the head, back to you, brolf. Karma. Hold on a second. Dr. Kiki, two to the head, back to you, brolf. Okay.

It's not a good, real good evergreen clip. Thank you, valued cardholder. I want to thank a few people out there for supporting the show. Heather Aronson in San Francisco, California. Hey guys, you're great. She's sending us $100. Keep karma. Please send Karma to help me pass my ham radio license. Hey! Today, Super Bowl Sunday, she's taking a ham license.

Here's what we say. Heather, I'll see you on the waterfall.

European Gun Control Criticism, Red Book Recap Proposal

Sir James Howard criticizes Europeans for lecturing Americans on gun rights, arguing that they have a history of being "peasants" to the ruling elite. Another donor suggests a "Red Book" recap show to review the accuracy of the podcast's past predictions compared to mainstream media reports.

2:08:55 Don't eat me, uh-huh-huh-huh, for some reason. Don't eat me, Hillary Clinton! Shut up already! It's science! Sorry. It's actually a funny combination. Yeah. Karma. Oh, oh, the karma? Oh, geez. Karma. You've got karma. All I have to do is the jingles and I can't even get that right. Sir James Howard in Indianapolis says, hey Arthur and Julius, I'd like to give a big fuck you to all the Euros who are kibitzing to the USA about getting rid of guns. They're even more brainwashed than our average dumb citizens. Plus, they've been peasants serving the ruling elite for literally hundreds of years. So what the hell do they know?

2:09:42 Shut up you peasants! I'm trying hard not to take it personally because I know most of them honestly don't understand but holding on to every single one of our rights is absolutely vital even if some bad things happen along the way. P.S. kudos to Baron Von Pelzmacher's for making Lizzie a dame. I always knew I liked that guy. He says dude. Yeah, well, why did you say why did you read it as guy instead of dude? I didn't think it worked as well. You editorialize when you're doing it. You can't editorialize. Please, you listen to me do the reads. I'm leaving shit out all the time. Yeah, only when it's like bashing Leo or if it's good for me. I don't leave anything out that's good for you. Oh, okay. Or if it's like... Frederick Gale... Ayn Randian, you leave that out all the time. Lies! Lies!

2:10:34 Frederick Gang Yon in Ontario, Canada 69th. It's been a year since my last contribution. I apologize but I've been busy living the dream and getting by. In lieu of jingles I would just like to make a suggestion. I thought it would be interesting to have an extra bonus show to do a recap of the Red Book. Nothing too complicated, just going back to see what predictions came true and which ones didn't. I think that might be interesting. Keep up the fantastic work. So should we, that is for one of our vacation shows, it might be an idea to do that. Do you think it's going to be interesting if we... Well he thinks it'll be interesting but I, to be honest about it, can't see it. Because I'm just like, yeah, we nailed it, yep, got it. Yeah, that's basically it. You might as well play that we banned. Yeah, that we banned, like we told you so or whatever? Yeah, we banned it because it was getting ridiculous. We'd been playing it all day.

2:11:25 Not that you know we're 100% right, but we're way over the mark compared to the mainstream media. Yeah Ruse bet they're off ruse Beth Abadadi in Toronto a body the body yeah a body a body ruse bet ruse Bay ruse Bay 69 69 ITM Giovanni and Ebenzeo. I was called out as a D-bag by one Jacob Schiltes.

Brazilian Keeper and the Belgian Skier, Juno for D Magazine

Donation Inflation Debate, Civil War Terminology

The hosts discuss "No Agenda inflation" and whether to raise the minimum donation amount for on-air mentions. A listener also requests that the hosts stop using the term "Civil War," suggesting "Lincoln's War" or "the war between the states" as more historically accurate alternatives.

2:18:35 You gotta see this. Alright, vote. Look at, aww, this dog is amazing. Can I vote now or am I not supposed to vote? No, Monday. Oh, why not now? It says vote. Oh, Juno's cute. Look at Nemo. So it's Juno. It says you could vote. It's Juno versus Nemo. Yeah, this is one of those deals where you have the showdowns and then a final. I'm voting for Juno. I'm voting for Juno right now. Juno versus Nemo. Submit your ballot. Sir Tom and St. Paul, Minnesota nuts. Wait, did he need karma? Oh yeah, karma for the dog. Sorry Juno. You've got karma. Tom Bushey, Minnesota Nuts 5510. Arnold and Julius just heard in the Thursday episode that you are considering raising the minimum donation to be mentioned in the show to $69.69. This is a slap in the face of all the No Agenda Minutemen who have been regularly donating double nickels on the dime for so many years longer than the swazzle and the fad.

2:19:39 Please consider this a front to what I believe is the oldest and still the best donation amount in the history of the No Agenda show, respectively, Sir Tom of the Minute Minute. Well, maybe we'll stop at 510 and drop a little... Hello, meeting, meeting, meeting time. No agenda meeting. I have to have a meeting. What are we going to do? Well, I mean, he has a point, but it does drag on. I mean, we... Because someone told me that we should just consider this no agenda inflation. and we should definitely up it to at least 5510. Well, maybe. Robert Luca, Sandy, Utah, 5510. Nigel, you and Columbus, double nickels on the dime, no jingles, just request that you guys stop using the term civil war. That name only makes sense if you buy into the status lie that succession is unconstitutional. It wasn't a civil war because it was fought between two distinct sovereign countries.

2:20:39 Call it the war between the... Actually, the Southerners are dropping, pretty much giving up on this idea. Call it the war between the states, which I mentioned when you brought it up. Yeah, no, you did. But it hasn't been discussed. Yeah. Um, so I like Lincoln's War. I think that's uh, that's an alternative he'll accept right? Lincoln's War. Yeah, I like that. I like that. Uh, Bruins Clothing in Watertown, South Dakota. Hey! Go to Bruins.com, B-R-U-N-S. And buy one of those jackets. Those things are amazing. BruinsClothing.com. Yeah, BruinsClothing.com. Lee Bruins here, latest kickback from the BruinsClothing.com jacket sales. It's our kickback, it's our take, it's our vig.

2:21:18 Your value for value model is catching on and then he goes on about somebody else stealing our idea. But yeah, brunschlothing.com. I'll tell you that jacket, if you're living in Minnesota nuts for example, you're crazy not to have one of these things. Particularly if you can have a gun because he'll make a little concealed carry pocket for you. Yeah, put a concealed carry inside. Ryan Kiefer in Durham, North Carolina, 5150. I don't think he sent us a note. Let's take a look. K-E-F-E-R. Uh, no, here it is. Wasn't an option to ask Bull. Can I get a quick jingle combination of shut up, it's science, little girl, yay, karma. Thanks for everything you do, Aiden and Jacob. Uh, shut it's... what is it? Shut up, science, little girl, yay? Karma. Karma? Yeah, absolutely. Shut up already! Science! Yay! You've got karma.

"You Will Obey" Train Station Remix

The hosts create a satirical remix of an Amtrak security announcement, overlaying the phrase "You will obey" onto the instructions for baggage inspection and identification. The bit highlights the authoritarian nature of modern transportation security messaging.

2:22:17 And then we have a slew of $50 donations. Jeremy Fant in Houston, Texas. Long-time boner, first-time donor, he says. Requests a good old-fashioned de-douching ever since hitting my brother in the mouths about the show a month ago. I have become increasingly paranoid about him donating me for me and calling me out as a douchebag. After listening to the great material on the last few episodes, I decided it's time to launch my preemptive move and return some value for value for the tremendous value I received from the show. At this moment, I do not want to call my brother out as a douchebag, as he has already propagated the formula by hitting our mother in the mouth. A task I previously believed to be nearly impossible. Hey, mom! He wants a Bush just sends your cash and a JCD you will obey karma.

2:23:04 We just need cash. I know a lot of people want to send blankets or water. Just send your cash. You will obey. You will obey. You will obey. You've got karma. I think we should just have that at train stations. Just you going, you will obey. You will obey. We should really slip it into those systems. Hold on a second. Hold on a second. I think we can do this. How does this sound? Let me just try this. Let me try this. Let's see if this works. Oh, you're going to play that clip? Good. You will obey. You will obey. You will obey. Say something. Say something. I was thinking you were going to play that train station clip and throw the you'll obey into it. Oh, hold on a second. That's a better idea. Let me try that. Hold on. It was here's the train station. OK, here we go. Passengers are required to have valid identification at all times.

2:24:00 Randomly selected passengers, their baggage, handbags, backpacks or other personal items may be inspected. In addition, you may notice and track police canine teams in the station. The dogs are trained to detect specific materials on you, person and around you. You will obey. You will obey. You will obey. Please do not approach or pet police dogs. For your safety and security, remember to be aware of your surroundings and keep personal items in close proximity. You will obey. You will obey. You will obey. This is the way they should be doing this. This is so much better. It is funny.

That's why I don't do the Daily Source Code anymore because people are douchebags.

2:25:15 We both love the show and agree with mostly everything you say, even your eat right for your type idea, Adam. That's right. Could I get a de-douching for Josh and some karma for me, Sarah?

I haven't donated in a couple of months, but I had to divert all my extra funds to endangered item acquirement, as well as donations to the NAGR, ISRA and the NRA. I suspect this is the case with many listeners in the cause of low donations recently.

2:26:00 Here in the People's Republic of Illinois, we recently had to fight off a ban that would have everything included, including handguns and detachable magazines, all of them. Handguns with a detachable magazine. So that's basically all automatic weapons? Yes, all automatic. So you can have a single shot you can have one shot at Derringer. With a ramrod and a ball you put in there with powder. They even wanted to have all existing magazines registered and when asked how do you track something that has no serial number the answer was a laughable we'll figure that out after we pass this.

Indian Pacific Line, Dead Man's Switch Documentary

A discussion of the Indian Pacific train line in Australia describes the "dead man's switch" mechanism that drivers must hit every 45 seconds to keep the train moving. One of the hosts recalls filming a documentary on the line and the mental toll of the repetitive safety task.

Okay, pull it.

2:29:48 Well, you know what you have to do when you're driving the train every like 45 seconds? You have to hit the dead man's button. It's the most annoying job ever. I thought you had a foot, you just kept your foot on it. No, no, no, no. So there's three lights and I was doing the documentary in the Indian Pacific, that's what it is, the Indian Pacific line. And so the guy's sitting up there and he's talking to you, he's like, and he's talking about it. And, uh, you know, so, uh, you know what, for 24 hours. That's all the guy's doing. And the lights go, because if you don't hit the button, you know, then the train will stop. And that's a real pain in the ass. So the whole time... Like, is he dead? There must be a picture of... Let me see. Indian Pacific Line dead man's...

Al Gore and Al Jazeera Sale, Charlie Rose Interview

Al Gore's sale of Current TV to Al Jazeera is scrutinized during an interview with Charlie Rose. Gore defends the sale by praising Al Jazeera's climate change reporting and its reputation for integrity, despite the network being subsidized by the Qatari government. The hosts mock Gore's "diligence" and his financial gain from the deal.

al gore· al jazeera· charlie rose· current tv· qatar· climate change

2:34:46 arm you against the weaponized mainstream media who are just trying to infiltrate you with bull crap in your head and trying to get you to work for less money. Yeah, and then there's that. Andrea Mitchell, who does she work for? She's like a bigwig, isn't she? She's the one who's married to that old... That's the one, right? Yeah, the one married to what's-his-name. Greenspan. Greenspan. Right. But she works for, must be ABC. One of the three networks. Whatever. She's an old hack. She's been around forever. So she's interviewing Al Gore. Now, of course, Al Gore is... I'm not quite sure why, you know, it's like...

2:35:24 I'm not quite sure why he gets this free pass. I mean, let's not for or let's remember that you know, he attacked a masseuse Maybe and he's a douchebag. He by the way, he's got a new book so they put him on the book tour and he gets top billing. He was also on PBS NewsHour and they also have a clip where he's being interviewed by Charlie Rose all part of this scheme and everybody seems to, I don't know if Andrea does because I didn't hear this clip, but they all grill him about why he sold to Al Jazeera. Well this was not about Al Jazeera but this was more about how the questioning regarding the total agenda 21 of global warming climate change which of course Al Gore started by stealing movie footage and manipulating the inconvenient truth into starting this entire while he fully was aware of starting and when you play my clip

2:36:19 he credits Al Jazeera with being one of the reasons he sold to them because they do the best job of discussing climate change as opposed to our media which sucks, which he says. Let's play your clip then. Which one is it? It's down at the bottom. It's uh... Gore on sale to Al Jazeera. If you watch television five hours a day, what muscles are you building up? Not the democracy muscle. Oh by the way, stop, stop. Let me set this up. By the way, Charlie Rose will have none of it and he just grunts most of the time and then he's paying zero attention to this guy and then when he's talking, Gore's doing the same thing to him. They're grunting a lot. Is this the Charlie Rose show or is it CBS This Morning show? No, it is Charlie Rose. Okay. It's dead and by, but the internet gives us real hope. Is this in an auditorium?

2:37:12 Yeah, Gore insisted I guess having a big audience. Oh, what an a-hole Because he had to pack it with his shills. Is that what he had to do? Well, it's hard to say wonder Rose is grunting of reinvigorating democracy and capitalism You've been very successful in business I've just announced and publicly the other day you you had a wonderful stock option from Steve Jobs Who was your friend and you you were on his board? you bought a television channel and and rechristened it and as the current TV and you just sold that and made a handsome profit. You sold to Al Jazeera and people take note of the fact that Al Jazeera is in part subsidized or sponsored by the Qatar government. Did that cause you a moment of saying, look if I do this, if I sell to them, even though I'll make a handsome profit, people are going to say,

2:38:12 Oh, I wish you'd found a better buyer. Well, I did extensive diligence on that whole question. Of course I understand. that critique which was then a potential critique, absolutely. But what the diligence showed very clearly is that Al Jazeera has long since established itself as an immensely respected news gathering network around the world. It's won the major journalism awards in country after country. It is respected as having integrity. On its climate reporting, for example, it's higher quality and far more extensive than any of the U.S. networks. They do 24-7 without any commercials. They hire the best journalists they can hire, and they tell it

2:39:01 like it is and they have that reputation so I think they've earned the right to be seen that way. But they've also given access to on their air to some really I mean to all kinds of things in terms of people who have a very bad reputation. Well you know there are to them and not on the not on Al Jazeera English no no that's true Al Jazeera is carried on the Israeli national system It is praised by the State Department in its home area. That's where our fleet is located. It's our closest ally in the Arab world. Secretary Clinton said it's part of the solution, not part of the problem. It has really acquired a tremendous amount of respect, but people will be able to judge for themselves. Yeah. Wouldn't it be cool if if if Charlie Rose just went, yeah, Al, when did you become such an incredible asshole?

CHAPTER 49 / 53 Discussion

Al Gore on Nuclear Power, Fossil Fuel Industry Influence

Al Gore expresses skepticism toward nuclear power, citing high costs and unpredictable construction timelines rather than safety concerns post-Fukushima. The hosts argue that Gore's opposition is rooted in protecting his "cap-and-trade" financial interests and that the nuclear industry's decline is caused by government regulation favoring fossil fuel companies.

al gore· nuclear power· fukushima· fossil fuels· cap and trade· energy policy

2:39:53 Could you just tell me, at what point did you decide that being an actual sphincter hole would be great? Because we're just not buying this bullshit from you. Al. The clincher though to me, which I think you'd like this clip, which is At first, you might as well... Gore is asked about nuclear power. Which of course is the true renewable solution to all of these fossil-based fuels. And it's zero... Zero emissions. Zero emissions. Zero, too. It's a whole thing. Everything is good. But it would... If everything went nuke...

2:40:29 That would be the end of the cap-and-trade scam and all the rest of it, right? Which I just want to remind you, he set up the cap-and-trade trading system before inconvenient truth came out because that was the whole idea was to enrich himself with a carbon-based trading exchange just like the Comize Exchange or New York Stock Exchange, a computer-based system which he set up with his buddies over there, Kleiner Perkins and all the VCs are involved. So, so what would you expect him to do on, on, what would he say about nukes, which is still the probably the best solution to all, especially with some of the newer technologies. We don't want a new... So let's listen to what he thinks. Let me, can I guess? Can I guess? This can't be good. No, we don't want... Take a long shot guess. We don't want Fukushima. We don't want fish. We don't want to be eating sushi that has radiation in it. No, you got, you,

2:41:23 I expected that too, but at least he backed off on that bullcrap. What? Cold fusion. What the hell is that? You don't want that's you want you want to say thorium maybe that's a new development. Cold fusion. But Gore didn't hear that anyway and he went on to his anti-nuke spiel. But Charlie Rose is also a sphincter a sphincter hole for saying that. That's lame. Curb global warming. Well it's certainly not a silver bullet. It may play a limited role in the future. The present generation of nuclear

2:42:09 technology is way too expensive. If you run a utility and you decide to build a new nuclear power plant, you go to your engineers or you go to any engineering consulting firm in the world and ask, okay, how much will this cost? they will say to you, we really have no idea. Then you ask them, how long will it take to build it? And they'll say, we don't know. And those are serious problems if you're trying to build a power plant. Wow, I can hear Sir Atomic Rod is shitting himself right now, freaking out over this. And that's really why the industry has declined. It's literally because of the regulations and the amount of time it takes for the nuclear

2:42:56 Energy Regulatory Committee for them to hand off the licenses. That's what takes so much time is the paid shills and government working against it who are actually on board with all the fossil fuel companies. That's why you can't say how long it will take, Al Hoare. Safety issues even after Fukushima. That can, in my opinion, probably be managed successfully. So it's the cost, not the safety? It's the cost and it's the nature of the cost accounting. They're only in 1,000 to 1,200 megawatts. That means they used to cost $400-$500 million.

2:43:39 Five six eight billion dollars it takes a long time bullshit. What a douche Yeah, I like it let me play the Andrea Mitchell clip she cuz you know we've got to propagate this whole you know Fear of global warming we're all gonna die. Hey by the way. Do you know what John did you hear about this? We're all gonna die It's heating up that guzman Floods, fires, historic drought. Some of the dire consequences Al Gore warns about if we don't act on climate change. Do we still have time? Do we have time? Do we have time? I have to get a cappuccino. Do I have time? Do we have time before we're all going to die from the flood and the super storm? People, this is your fearless leader speaking. Do not be alarmed by these douchebags.

Boeing 787 Dreamliner Failures, Outsourcing and Plastic Parts

Boeing engineers are blaming the 787 Dreamliner's grounding on poor quality components resulting from excessive outsourcing. Reports indicate that the plane's power distribution panels contain "cheap plastic" parts prone to failure, validating the hosts' long-standing "plastic plane" theory regarding the 787's structural and electrical issues.

2:44:39 And once again, this is Red Book, Red Book, Red Book, Red Book, Red Book, Red Book. I got it in my hands, it's in my hands as we speak. What do I always say about the Dreamliner? What do I always say about the 787? It's plastic and you won't fly in one. Thank you, John. Tonight Boeing engineers are blaming outsourcing for the problems the company is having with the Dreamliner. This is my theme. The Seattle Times talked to engineers who say Boeing is getting poor quality components from subcontractors. One 787 electrical engineer says the plane's problem goes beyond the lithium batteries which have grounded the 787s. That unidentified engineer told the newspaper that the Dreamliner's power distribution panels have parts that are quote, cheap, plastic and prone to failure. So it's both of our theories. Yeah, you got the plastic in there. No, no, it's not just cheap. Cheap, plastic and prone to failure. Cheap plastic.

2:45:34 I keep telling you these are plastic planes people. No, I will not fly it. I don't like... The song was coming down Broadway when they started this stupid idea and I think that clip I had about the train company, you know, from the 1930s really said it all when they said they had to bring it all in-house because they can't trust the quality of outsourcing. Exactly. And you can't. Alright, we have to wrap this up but I have two things. Do you want to do something, any of your clips before we wrap up? These clips are pretty evergreen. Let me see if there's one thing here. Play the great lead in for anything. We can use this as an area. Lead in for anything. If you're one of over 50 million adults who suffer from a sore mouth...

French President Hollande in Mali, Timbuktu "Victory Lap"

French President Francois Hollande's visit to Timbuktu is characterized as a staged "victory lap" following a military intervention that reportedly met no resistance. Despite media reports of cheering crowds, the hosts point out that French troops took the city without firing a single shot, suggesting the "Al-Qaeda" threat was non-existent or had already fled.

2:46:20 Then you're in the right place The best podcast in the universe a sore mouth. Okay. Thank thank you. That was that was well worth it Okay, it's very pretty this girl of course she is yeah So I did something that came up on the news that I just needed to go back to our show on Thursday It only took him a couple days to come up with the big lie. So the new president of France is Who are, by the way, when it comes to the best podcast in the universe, the French are incredibly cheap bastards. They don't even listen. So the president of France went to Mali, went to Timbuktu for a victory lap. Did you see this? No. Oh yeah.

2:47:09 Three weeks after launching an assault against Al-Qaeda-aligned militants in the north of Mali, the President of France was here on what amounted to a victory tour. He never declared mission accomplished, but but he was certainly cheered and even hugged as he walked through the streets of the ancient city of Timbuktu. Until a few days ago, he wouldn't have been able to. It was controlled by militant jihadists who have now fled after French paratroopers landed on the edges of this iconic community. But President Hollande thanked his troops, the French,

2:47:44 Okay, so a couple of things with this report. First of all, So this white dude comes down from the heavens, and I don't know you know if you see the video There's just like a whole bunch of Malians jumping up and down and they're jumping on his neck and like oh I mean, I don't know what they told him who this guy was they probably said yeah This is Brad Pitt's brother or something They don't have no idea now. This sounds like it was a victory lap he went in he saved the Malians They're so happy oh

2:48:32 Oh, President Hollande, we love you so much. Please listen to the report of what went down when they took Timbuktu back from the militants. This is only from Thursday. The airport was quickly secured. French soldiers and a few Malian units moved into town without firing a single shot. Not a single shot was fired. There were no militants. There was no Al-Qaeda. There was nothing there. They just walked right they dropped out of the sky and there was no it was like remember when we landed a mugger do Mogadishu yeah at night and CNN was on the shore filming him and the Marines were like what?

2:49:09 It's the same thing. There was no al-Qaeda, there were no terrorists. So what are these people so happy for? This is all staged, obviously. Totally bullcrap. And then, what is this? I know what they were jumping up and down for. They gave each one of them two francs. Here's some mush. Yeah, exactly. Are you hungry? You want a burger? He's going to be giving everyone money. The more you jump, the more money you'll make. One of those guys one of those setup guys in those shows With a script and he's clapping his script in his hands. Come on. I'll give him a round of applause when the sign goes on applause like crazy We'll give you a dollar if you do that Exactly and I was just like and what is this iconic community this this? What is all this bullcrap? What is that supposed to turn into a tourist trap?

2:50:01 It's gonna be you're right. You're so right come visit the iconic community of Timbuktu You've heard about the song you've heard the band now come to see the iconic legendary historic community of Timbuktu Yeah, they'll put a nice the airport runway in there people go to Timbuktu and stay at the Four Seasons You know maybe they can stay in a teepee No, maybe one of the two. Yeah, which by the way, before we finish the show though, we do have to mention that we do note that you built a second Oval Office. Well, there were two things I was going to say and one is

CHAPTER 52 / 53 Discussion

Second Oval Office Construction, Backup Obama Theory

Reports of an exact replica of the Oval Office being constructed are discussed with satirical speculation. The hosts joke that the duplicate office is intended for a "backup Obama" to resolve scheduling conflicts between the president and his purported body doubles.

oval office· white house· barack obama· architecture· duplication· conspiracy

2:50:37 That so go ahead explain and then I'll get to the second oval office because there's gonna recondition refurnish They're gonna redo something that said that maybe the White House is falling apart. We have no idea No, we build exact copy of the first oval office and this obviously for the backup Obama Have his own office because he's bitching and moaning Apparently he's like the fact that he has to stay in the closet Well, you know the other Obama gets all the you know, they get to swap and it should Swapping the one office is not is not working annoying. It is not working out the the shared office thing It's like he's hiding under the desk because they both showed up on the same day. That's no good So yeah, so people read your documentation. This is actually happening. They have and it's gonna be identical John. Yes Everything I did a counterfeit paintings everything's a mistake. I

Obama Skeet Shooting Photo, Technical Inconsistencies

An official White House photograph of President Obama skeet shooting at Camp David is analyzed for technical inaccuracies.

2:51:26 Okay, all right then finally I'd like now I've asked you a question go to are you ready to go to the browser? I'm on the browser now Are you on the browser on the browser check? You make me cry I have PBA Obama gun curry calm Obama gun curry calm I have a couple things to say about this. I

2:52:04 Are you there? I'm getting there. Oh, okay. Well, there's Obama shooting a really nice shotgun. Okay, now there's a couple things I want to say. So this is the... Which Obama is this? The skinnier one? So there's a couple things we have to... Where is Ted Nugent at this moment? So let me tell you, look at this picture and I'm going to tell you all the things wrong. First of all, if he's skeet shooting What skeet is he shooting? He's shooting almost... He's shooting the guy that apparently Cheney shot in the head. He's shooting the guy... Straight out. Yeah, he's like, pull! And he's shooting the guy who's pulling. He's not shooting a skeet. Second. No. Look at where the butt of the shotgun is. Now, to be honest about it, with that shot he could be shooting traps.

2:52:51 No, they say skeet shooting. Clay targets. Clay targets. Clay targets. Now, clay targets are dark. They're black. You do not wear dark safety glasses when you're shooting clay targets because you can't see the fricking target. Okay? This is a lie. Three. Look at how the butt of his gun is. He's going to break his shoulder. It's up too high. Yeah, it should be tucked in lower. Three. Get your oily fingers off the gun! Do you see where his index finger is of his right hand? Oh yeah, it's on the barrel. You don't hold it like that. That is not how you... Four! This... Now this of course was done with high speed film. Because you see this... Do you see this little poop of smoke coming out the right hand side? You know why this is? Because there's no wad used in this ammo. This is... He's using pussy ass ammo.

2:53:49 which does not include a wad and it's all choked up and this is why you have the the the blast coming out the side of the gun. This is this is total fake. He couldn't handle the recoil. That's why they had to put pussy ammo in and he's holding he's not doing it right he's holding it wrong. Who is pointing at? This is not I'm ashamed that my president It's actually saying, I shoot guns all the time. Well, no, you don't. And I can't believe that no one is just yelling about this. This is crazy. There's so much wrong with this picture. Well, I'm glad you got that off your chest. Don't you think? Good catch. No, I think you're right. And by the way, the official White House photograph is being made available only for publication by news organizations and or for personal use printing. So you can

2:54:49 So you can print it and hang it on your wall. The photograph... No, no. And for personal use printing by the subjects of the photograph. So the president can print it and hang it on his wall. Yeah. Look how cool I am. This photograph may not be manipulated, aka Photoshop in any way. Oh that's gonna work. Hey everybody, grab this photo and let's go to town. Have you seen the No Agenda community on Google Plus? No. Oh my god, John. Someone's photoshopped something. The gun is reversed. Oh, they've already photoshopped it. Oh yeah, he's shooting a drone, like the gun is a drone. He's shooting the drone. Oh, I saw that one. I did see that one. It's hilarious. No, no, don't, oh!
