Raining Scuds

00:00 I heard you Ethiopian girls are hungry all the time. Adam Curry, John C. DeVora. Next Thursday March 21st 2013 Time for your Gitmo Nation Media Assassination episode 497 This is no agenda Straight out of Range Rover hell at the Travis Heights hideout where SoCo meets MoFo in the capital of The Drone Star. State in the morning everybody, I'm Adam Curry! And from Northern Silicon Valley where I don't have any jazzy kind of poetic thing to say...I'm John C. DeVorek. That's just a lack of preparation John. Yeah that's all it is

00:38 You write this stuff down then? If you admit it. I always, yeah! I always write down the opening. Does that also apply to your little ditty at the end of the nighting? No man that's from memory. I wake up in the morning and I rehearse that little nighting diddy. Yeah okay... That's exactly what i do. Exactly. So the um... Oops The Range Rover finally bit it. Oh no! Yeah, it was one of... Was that from the drive back from Dallas? No we took the truck I'm glad we took the truck because you know I mean it wasn't that warm yesterday It was high 70's and I get the call Did you know this call?

01:23 And he's like, there is steam coming out of it again! Oh you just had a hose... No but I just had a whole water pump put in and now i'm like we're done with this car. You sure it wasn't just a cracked hose? Steam coming out sounds like a hose. What else would be? But I am done with the car you see It's 1999, I can have my wife driving around or something what going to happen next It's always going to be something with every car once they're more than four years old. I'd also like to point out that the right hand side, the passenger door still doesn't open... That's annoying. You have to climb in the back or through the window and all of the ceiling, what do you call that? The padding? You need it to look like a NASCAR racer and jump in the window and know what you're doing. Put some netting on there!

02:19 So, um... No I'm-I'm you know so like okay. Just get something Japanese that'll run Toyota yeah well they're not cheap for that reason Yeah and the Toyotas are not cheap And uh..so now i think it was you that told me That its a much better deal to call up one of these outfits That will come and tow the car away and then I get the tax deduction I didn't say it was a better deal. That's one way of doing it as opposed to letting it sit there, although since you're in Texas you can put up on blocks and put it in the front yard. To match the neighbors? So you do that at home and everyone says oh local!

03:10 No, I mean no one will take this they'll take it as a trade. There's another way to explain it. Okay? I've got a million of them yeah Take and put in the front yard just like that and then get some black spray can brack black paint And then across the side that's visible to the outside Spray lemon on the car And then I'll make you feel better about the situation and possibly somebody Range Rover will get a hold of photo, and then they come back A new car Okay. I think this is the best strategy. I've heard yet. I can't wait to share it with Mickey Although the car is black so I think we should do it in gold paint Gold gold we still have some harder-to-see but white would be good

04:00 No, but I think the way it works is you know they'll come over. They'll give you an IRS receipt Yeah for like yeah and the car didn't you know a blue book if you You know if you take away the door thing in the end the engine exploding It's probably worth about four grand Wow. Yeah. Yeah well its low mileage How many miles are on that thing? I think 97,000. Oh that's...I don't know how you define low mileage but.. Well everything i've looked at to buy for her is about that and like just picking up where this one left off

04:39 It's no good. If you keep shopping, like on Craigslist or wherever just find somebody trying to sell their car you will find somebody who has like 45 thousand miles on their car Yeah but here is what I found First of all, I found that my wife's interest in the vehicle is the color This is pretty much... No, she wants an off-white. Now I'm like okay... Off white? What does that even mean?! I think it's pearlescent! I would like eggshell white automobile That is pretty much what she wants! That's exactly it

05:16 And so now I'll show a car and she's like, yeah that's a nice color. There is little more to it but it's okay. She does not really care but then I point out to her there are all these amazing deals but the cars always red. That's what you want! You don't know miss Mickey apparently. I don't know the American she doesn't barely no American drivers you want a car that is visible so people don't say well, I didn't see your black car when I hit you Because court tonight nobody's gonna get away with this saying this in court. I didn't see the car He's red

05:59 This is not gonna happen. This is not she said this is the limit there will be no red car in her future By the way, you don't have a red car you have well your yours used to be white I think it's Corvette Your your your Lexus used to be white. I think it is now actually off-white That's what so great about it anyway, I'm very happy that we didn't that we didn't take that up to Dallas. Mickey did her big role on on Dallas. Well you're gonna have to clue the audience in yeah well it you know what I have to say it was kind of set bickering with the director? Are you kidding me so the director is Jesse Boczko Boczko! Yeah he's Steven Boczko son Wow So this is the problem with the entertainment business It's all insiders Licks, my son and then the producer is Ken Taylor

07:01 He's done a lot of stuff, but you know how... It was probably Rip Taylor or something. No! Ken Taylor is kind of up there in age I could tell But what was interesting You know how on if whenever you have the award shows that are not about movies but it's about either TV series Or um yeah like just basically television series shows Yeah okay They always are thanking the writers Like our fantastic writing team, you know we're so happy with you and blah blah thank you to the writers. Without you our work would be nothing I understand why they do this now because i met the writer of this episode who is on set and he's a big shot

07:47 He's, you know... So Mickey introduced me to him and I'm talking. He said yeah, I really loved her audition which is why we not only decided To bring her in even though she read for a different part I just love what she did and We had this part for a girl called Calliope And we thought the name was no good and we heard that her name was Mickey and so we decided oh This is great! We'll call her Mickey except it will be M-I-K-K-E And I was like, no alright. So this guy basically hired her. They gave her the name of a Japanese hooker? Russian and um... You know so he essentially you know yeah He's responsible for hiring and she her role is you know I mean it's not like she's not on screen for the whole episode but She is involved with one of the kind of main characters

08:38 And I'm like, yeah. I see in season three she could totally... Take over the place! She could totally take over South Fork and he's like hmmm unfortunately her character Ken ends in a very... Her character's involvement with the other guy doesn't end well for him but she can be really pissed off and wow did I just talk her into a gig on season 3? You might have. Yeah, this is very powerful these guys Anyway you know this is a big show it's a hit show John they got like three and a half four million people watching this thing yeah I know It's a shame Larry Hagman died in the middle of it well you know they're bringing The six million dollar man into replace him not as JR but just like another old guy What was his name? Lee Majors He risked losing another actor They are bringing Lee Majors

09:36 And it was cool though. It was fun to see, you know I've forgotten what it's like You know there's a million people on this show just you know its people doing things and those shows There are so many people I mean you see when the credit rolls is like who are all these people? What are they doing mostly standing around no no no everyone had the job he had No matter how small it is they all have a very specific task and they do it very well What's the gaffer doing during the shooting? He's not gaffing anything No, but that's his job is small. His job is to gaffe before they shoot and that's it Yeah, then he stands around or goes home All right. Well what does the obviously doesn't go home because you never know when you know gaffer exactly But I was impressed. I thought I thought it was not there It was fun to watch I kind of forgotten what it was like you try to get a job

10:28 No, in fact so the in these Hollywood situations There's always someone to take you to the next place or what? You're never alone and When they are taking talent that would be Mickey. Um, you know it like into the makeup trailer It's like, you know So the guy is like Okay, stepping up one stepping up the Mickey actress stepping up and her husband that's two stepping up You know it's like whatever you do is like crossing. We've got to cross and we've got talent Mickey And her husband and to this guy I became buddy You know that moment where he's like, hey buddy. Where's Mickey? Hey buddy! It was like hey we're ready for Mickey's here... No oh okay buddy well uh listen buddy why don't you let me... I was this completely insignificant buddy Yeah well that's what you are in this situation they probably would rather have you not there Uh yeah but they were cool with it so

11:27 Yeah, that was fun. A large portion of the people are old enough to remember me and were impressed Oh that's good! That's always nice Anyway so episode 14 of the series one before last and they're very hopeful that they will have another season there is no green light yet from The Network But this is on cable isn't it? TNT yeah but its a big deal I know but what else has TNT got to do besides green light that show Well, they have a big meeting today boys. What are we gonna do with this Dallas show? This is the only show we really run it again My name came up oh last night yeah so we sound good We were invited to a dinner

12:20 So Laurie Frick is an artist here and she and Mickey are friends. But she's really a transhumanist freak, I tell her this... Because her art consists of her tracking, her body movements. So she's always got like those wristbands that Leo always wears and you know the tracks your pulse and how your sleeping habits are. And right... And she's also an artist... I rolled over in bed three times last night! Isn't that fascinating? She is also artists-in-residence at the Neurobiology Center at University of Texas so

13:00 the professor of psychology and neurobiology to the dinner with his wife. And he's a reasonably young guy... What dinner was this again? Just just uh, just a dinner party like six people in Austin at Laurie's house! Oh okay yeah does she have a nicer place than you yes unequivocally yes it is very beautifully contemporary brand new I mean nicely built nice thing yeah very nice And so this is a scientist and this guy is nothing but empirical, this empirical that. You put like hippie chick socialist Dutch girl Mickey across the table from the guy who's pretty much like

13:50 I'm not in love with my wife. We are just two beings who happen to meet oh God pants crossed It's like a behavior Yeah, no he so he is tracking his all of it is new thing now as he's imaging himself So he does an MRI like every day and takes notes about his life. It was it was it was pretty outrageous And of course, you know They they know what I do and then yeah But they're like big fans of the Dvorak dos telecommunications book 1987 exactly Exactly you are you worthy that guy's still alive No, the question was how old is he really that one came up? It doesn't matter. He could be 27 for all I care. He's my buddy He's my buddy on the show

14:44 So, yeah but it was you know there I just had to say like i'm really against this. It's not...I think this has no value and what are you doing it for? Well I said what I'm interested does your brain transmit signals and can I receive it he's like oh no research has been done on that so really so now no one's interested in that okay Yeah, anyway so the great thing... very nice people but the great thing that came out of it is Mickey is allowed to go on Monday and photograph his brain collection. Oh my god! He says he's got brains where lobotomies have been performed on the brain So you see like pieces all missing in the front And some of that would give him nightmares Well she's very excited Anyway I'd be more excited if we get her a red car

15:39 Anyway, so the President of the United States, President Obama is in Israel. I think we should start saying it properly... Israel! And did a little stand-up ditty there with our buddy BB net and Yahoo did you catch any of the press conference John were you yeah I saw the whole thing including the Thing with that with a humor because what's his name from NBC couldn't stop asking questions right right? You want to play some kind of amusing but Well, I thought... Did you catch anything? Because I got no clips from that thing. Cause' I didn't see anything happen Yes, I did get some clips Now, I think you're mistaken There's some things we always seem to identify early Namely he traveled with his old script writer With all the old jokes And of course... and a lot more uh-uh

16:45 So here's the joke that I'm now going to call the President of the United States out as a misogynist. I'm sick and tired of this particular joke. Well, thank you Prime Minister Netanyahu for your kind words and for your wonderful welcome here today And I want to express special thanks to Sarah As well as your two sons their warmth and hospitality. It was wonderful to see them, they are... I did inform the Prime Minister that they are very good-looking young men who clearly got their looks from their mother. Well, I could say the same of your daughters! Which is funny because let's be honest, the first daughters are pretty ugly. That's whoa! This is true

17:33 And here comes... Our goal is to improve our gene pool. I'm marrying women who are better than we are. How many times have we heard this joke? I've heard it at least, I don't know, five times. It's a lost count. Yeah it's at least five times and really because and I think it's now degrading towards women I feel Just like you know, I don't know it doesn't feel. It's like reverse reverse misogyny or something it's not okay It's just no I'm not down with it anymore Then was never down with it well the first three times You know if I hear the same joke twice and this is the president He's not a guy who can like trick you into not seeing one of his acts It's not like that comic who keeps doing the same gags over and over and over because there's a different audience every time

18:24 So here's my pet peeve, he goes over to Israel and again misstates his job as President of these United States. Our most solemn responsibility is the security of our people No I'm sorry that is not your responsibilities That's job number one no that is not your job is to defend and uphold the Constitution My job as president of the United States first and foremost just to keep the American people safe. No I'm sorry that is just, that is incorrect! That is not your job! Your job is to protect it up hold the Constitution of the United States. You almost have a sound like you're having a conversation with him right now it's very funny bit. Maybe she works on that. Just go get the clip then use the clip. Okay okay also work on that. It's very humorous. I can probably do that

19:15 But in this case, he literally left the holes wide open. I mean please you know that was easy So then let's see we have You know the promise of that lame thing that we'd no doesn't work on Extending it for the years beyond i'm also pleased to announce That we will take steps to ensure that there is no interruption of funding for iron dome iron dome That's a thing that can stop us good And it's $200 million dollars. Yeah, it is a huge scam. As a result of decisions that I made last year... Oh good job! Israel will receive approximately 200 million dollars this fiscal year and we wil continue to work with Congress. See? I don't think thats true. I think Raytheon may recieve 200 million dollars and take it over

20:05 Do you think it's another one of those big checks? A big, yeah. Big giant check, yeah. Made out of cardboard and by the way the banks hate it when you bring those in! They're really annoying they don't fit through the slot at the drive-thru On future funding of Iron Dome these are further reminders that we will help to preserve Israel's qualitative military edge so that Israel can defend itself by itself against any threat So then he said something that I've really had to think about. Of course, we put in the Red Book that there would be a chemical attack and a chemical weapons attack in Syria and now everyone's going back-and-forth you know did the Assad regime light off some chemical weapons and kill people? Was it the rebels was Al Qaeda who the heck is really doing all this where's it all coming from and we have to investigate this and make sure

21:00 But really when you think about it, and this is the red line. I have an observation about this type of warfare Assad has lost his legitimacy to lead by attacking the Syrian people with almost every conventional weapon in his arsenal including Scud missiles, okay So he's been he's been killing people with everything. He's got Including scud missiles we have been clear that the use of chemical weapons Against the Syrian people would be a serious and tragic mistake now I gotta disagree with this i'm thinking

21:37 Look, if you're gonna kill people anyway why make a mess of it? The chemical weapon... You know you don't ruin the building. Everything sticks around. People go... They die they're easy to clean up. You don't have to hose anything down Why is it that chemical weapons, which are intended to kill people just like a scud or any other regular weapon, conventional weapon. Why is this the red line John? I don't understand. Because there was a Geneva Convention or war convention after World War 1 because of the chemical weapons do make a mess

22:15 They, a lot of people they puke up all over the place and then they walk out like zombies. There's a million problems. No! It's horrible. How can that be more problematic? They give you blister gas which makes you all blistery and then you come out... it's a mess it's horrible this is like a it's like a it's like a form of torture as opposed to getting shot in the head I mean, I know what you're saying. One form of violence... What difference does it make? Yes But they've been banned is the deal They're banned! They're illegal You are a war criminal immediately Now of course they said that they did it This kind of snuck into the conversation too I have a clip here from Aaron Burnett who by the way I'm not going to say and I don't believe she's a cocaine user

23:05 okay but I went to her nose in a very distinctive way oh and was I wish I was I should have made it clip and send it to Mickey for her analysis yes more analysis he has made this was really very distinctive and she sniffed right afterwards. Can I just back you up for a second? Mickey's analysis would be because of her experience running nightclubs, not like she does for any other reason. She has seen it all! Yes she has. So the thing is and then Aaron I noticed I've noticed her cadence

23:42 on early parts of some of the shows is one way and then she talks like a maniac, just crazy talk I mean yak-yak-yak she can't be you know she's stutters and stammers and talks really fast and she can stop talking really fast in this the way she is right so I'm just thinking she should probably go to decaf No, I'm not saying that she uses or has used cocaine or she's using cocaine while She's doing the show but she she has certain appearances which he should correct Yes to help her not be this way we play Syria and the gas bullcrap when she first says Syria you hear our yes, you know what? This

24:24 Naftali, the Justice Minister today, Sibi Livni told our Jessica Yellen that it is clear in Israel that Syria has used chemical weapons. Obviously the United States, the President and State Department have said they've seen those reports but they have not yet confirmed whether they think Syria has used chemical weapons whether it be the government or the opposition Have you seen proof that Bashar al-Assad or the opposition have used them? Well, I don't know about proof but we're very concerned about these chemical weapons being taken or handed over to Hezbollah in Lebanon. I'll remind you there's roughly 60 thousand missiles in Lebanon targeted at the north and center of Israel The chemical weapons exist in Syria the missiles exist in Lebanon and when you connect the two it's

25:14 a mortal risk for Israel and we'll protect ourselves against this sort of action. Right, so we get no answer but that's irrelevant He is the guy supposedly that passed out the word So I mean it's like there... This is bull crap Well actually well it's funny let me since you bring that up let me play for you Dye-Fy You know Dye-Fy? Yeah Dye-Fy Dye-Fy I believe with the comments...I agree with the comments that Chairman Rogers has made I think we hear all this in a classified session. This is highly classified, we have been advised... Highly classified! The bull crop is classified? To be very careful what we say. I'm told that the White House has been briefed the same thing that we have been briefed What I said earlier is that the White House has to make some decisions on this. So at least were all on board with the same bull crop. I think the days are becoming more desperate

26:11 The regime is more desperate. We know where the chemical weapons are, it's not a secret that they're there and I think the probabilities are very high That we're going into some very dark times, and I think the White House needs to be prepared Both committees now have been fully briefed. Yes very dark Absolutely nothing except that we're gonna apparently We know where their weapons are like this is the same guys who knew where the weapons were in Iraq and because they dark times John dark times

26:48 Dark Times! Now, so here's the... Possible show title I might add. Dark Times yes this is a very coordinated effort because while all this is taking place we have Ambassador Ford ambassador to Syria who for obvious reasons is not hanging out in Damascus before the Senate speaking about the dire situation and I was very interested in this. And here's what was, what I found interesting and that I'm glad I do the work that I am able to do So the written testimony is what goes on the record, correct? Whatever he says there's like whatever they'll take that into account but when he does his opening statement... The whole thing goes under the record. Right! But including the written testimony Oh yeah no there's a bunch of testimony and things that they put in later

27:41 So you can put stuff in at the beginning, later anyway. You have a huge document against it as long as somebody says this has to go into the record at some point during the proceeding that all of the stuff that's handed in also goes into the record so here is a little tip on how I work when I'm looking at C-SPAN type stuff if I have not seen it live Then I will always go in and read the written records and everything that's handed. And it is easy because then you can scan through, this is what I do, I can look at spreadsheets and pick stuff out... It's like a neural networking thing, I can do it And I'm like, oh my god this is some amazing... Oh the f- I can't believe he said this. So they're like, oh! I gotta go get the watch the video and this is just of his opening statement and he skips some very important pieces that are in the written testimony which I'll gladly read for you but first listen to him just as opening salvo of how dire the situation is in Syria

28:41 We also share Israel's... I'm sorry. Wow, such a great wind up! You leave it in! You got to pitch the wind up and time out! Crikey, I really screwed that up here we go. It is limited so i'm going to keep my remarks quite brief as you noted Mr Chairman what started out as a peaceful demand Is this guy a bookkeeper? What does he talks like this? Hello? Just listen to what he says for dignity and freedom has turned instead to a devastating conflict with the horrific human toll syrians face a new level of ruthlessness from the Assad regime which is raining scud missiles it's raining scud missiles! Hallelujah, it's raining scuds what does he say? sous chef somewhere that was the first thing I read. Oh good, he said that down on residential neighborhoods

29:37 bombing hospitals, bombing schools and sending out its thugs into streets to terrorize and arrest fellow citizens. More than 70 thousand Syrians now." Okay so this is where he skips a whole part I'm like oh this is the part I wanted to have! So allow me to read the written part Syrians face a new level of ruthlessness from the Athabrothim, which is raining scud missiles down on residential neighborhoods destroying hospitals and schools and sending its thugs rampaging through the streets to terrorize their fellow citizens. The carnage is appalling! For instance

30:19 We have heard that some Syrian parents who still send their children to school now stitch their child's name on school uniforms. That makes it easier to identify the bodies." Oh brother! I'm like, why didn't he say that? Holy mackerel I can't believe that! And so he left that out. Like, oh... That's officially on the record though so there it is So then uh..I could play more of his boring speech but let me play more pieces that he didn't mention Here is what we have done so far Do you want to do the accent or just read? The accent, you're not on the money with it but its funny enough We supplied approximately 5 thousand pieces of equipment including communications gear

31:09 to enable activists to coordinate their efforts. Some activists use these tools to organize a free lawyers union, which now coordinates with the local council for the governorate of Daraa and has taken responsibility for legal affairs within the local council." Now we boosted signals extending the reach of broadcast on FM stations and funded media outlets We then we use this out of the test. Yes, yes is all in the written test. Yeah only yes which nobody reads no Except us our show. Yes Then we use those media platforms to address sectarian violence and issue public service messages on chemical weapons exposure

31:56 So they are, he's admitting psychological warfare of taking over the boosting the FM signals whatever FM. Yeah right and then funding the media outlets funding the media outlets that is an act of war Well, it took over something they took over the radio station. Yeah And this records got to go it's time for 24 7 Lady Gaga right here on Radio Free Damascus in the morning everybody Telling you we could do that we can do Radio Free Damascus. We should listen we should do more money How ya doing is crack button buzzkill hey

32:39 Hey, how about that scud rain last night? How'd- hey Johnny! Johnny boy tell me a little uh... In the morning Did you catch that rain of scuds last night? It was raining like cats and dogs and stuff My friend dark time Who's that on the phone wait a minute? What hold on a second hello Bashar Bashar. Oh, no is Bashar Assad on the phone John can you believe that He said I'm gonna rain some more scuds on ya so

34:44 We do have some executive producers to thank for today's show, which is 497. Very good. Yep, 497 and I've seen firsthand how much power the executive producers have on set very powerful They get their own chair with their name on it. They have a chair with their name on it? Oh yeah, oh yeah! I love the name of the chair. And so... It's still a flimsy wooden chair with a back that is made out of cloth though right? Yeah but it comes- So you can take the name thing off and put a different one on there really easy. Yeah but it comes with a guy who opens it for you and puts it down AND they've got catered food while they're on set. Oooh! Pigs in a blanket. I like the catered food. Pretty good. Yeah pigs in a blanket um... Pigs in a blanket?! Yeah

35:30 How could you use the same say pretty good and then follow that up with pigs in a blanket? I liked it. It was nice and Little pitiful little, you know rolled-up salami things with cheese and as lousy Yeah, well yeah, I guess it was the guy was wearing blue gloves though so maybe feel hygienic Yeah after they spit on it These actors have to... Idiots. Executive producer, this... Here's your executive producer right here. Sandwiched Mr. Jenkins? Not our executive producers boy! Let me tell you we do not spit on their food No because there are executive producers who produce Yes Massimo Cantaneo in Queensland the town of Nusa

36:27 3333 uh... like to dedicate this no agenda game but to my wife as susan also it's got a game another night here he had she enjoys the show is much as i do which is a good thing so ladies first wow so he's he's he he his donations are at knighthood level but he's giving denied who was first knighthood to his wife that's all of those dame dame uh... suzanne that is real love and he's an ITM followed by a shot at karma. Absolutely. You bet! You've got karma very nice Masumo, thank you I gotta question because you sent out the newsletter which got a lot of response

37:13 As you know we have now expanded the Empire and we have all these different levels. Yeah, I believe will be talking about that later in the donation segment as some people go into barony... I think the Baron we have moves into... He goes right to the top! Straight to the top? He went straight to the top he's now a Grand Duke. Somebody pointed out to me that he has been so well known as Baron that he might want to think about calling himself Grand Duke Baron. Ooh, well he has the power to do that! Well I believe that all of the dukes and there will be three categories of dukes Duke Archduke and Grand Duke I believe they should be seen as like army generals

38:02 And they can basically call themselves whatever they want? Yes, and they can wear whatever they want. They may make their own uniform I like the request someone sent as they thought you know it would be cool to hang a poster of Grand Duke Baron Stephen von Pelsmacher's in his full regalia in their office You know we should have like an 80 by... I've seen pictures he does look a little bit like Henry VII uh... i think it is the sort of their arm in around the uh... and atlanta has metals and stuff hanging that henry the seventh or the eighth well you know the a thesis of horrible person he was not a good guy but not

Okay well then i'm going to be quiet about it But people should just go to Noagendanation.com and see what he's got And also... Go ahead

43:56 I'm just saying you can go there and see. He'll keep you updated there on the site, I'm sure And also thank you very much Nick The Rat for the artwork in episode 4, 9 or 6 Good Work The so we have the big 500 show coming up all of the art can be seen at no agenda art generator comments where you can contribute as well There was an episode 500 art that you're very angry about John that it's gone. They indeed was if they in the art What was it? No, it was the Daytona 500 piece It was a it was a mockery of the Daytona 500 NASCAR race and it was an RPS that disappeared because I always had

44:33 The one we were gonna use and then I go back to the art generator. It's gone. It's gone So maybe it may be one of our guys that run that site got a note from NASCAR You know what, I think happened apparently someone saw something and said something Thank you Brian Thank you, Brian. Somebody saw something and said something... That's right! It's a jingle bonanza here on the Good Morning Damascus show. Go out propagate our formula. Our formula is this We go out we hit people in the mouth In the morning damas... Shut up! In the morning... We need to end the morning in Arabic

45:34 To complete our... I don't have it. We've got French, German, Chinese Spanish We need Arabic Oh by the way Hello drone nation Did you hear the big news? This is extremely big news Two more terrorists Have been added to the Rewards for Justice program And these again are two Americans Omar Shafik Hammami, formerly of Alabama and Jihad Sir Juan Mostafa formerly of California are now each worth five million dollars if you can provide information that will lead to their arrest. Now the thing that is incredibly interesting is that one of these two gentlemen I believe the is it Shafiq Hammami? Is also known as The Rapping Jihadi

46:37 Yeah, I'm not have a clip. Oh yes we do why I'm not so I'm happy you ever cross because here is This is it Spreading all over the place It all started out in Afghanistan. When we wiped the oppressor straight off the land, you knew crumble. Rumbled and tumbled, humbled but to mumble what made a power, a drawing power. PDD? Yes! Yep I'll sign him on the spot Can you believe that?! The guy should be- they should up it to 10 million just to remove all this crap from YouTube

47:29 It's terrible. So, you know but I think what happened is they need to jazz it up a little bit because you know the kind of losing steam no one really cares about American and we already went through this Amrullah Alawaki boring the other guy didn't work out so well but now they've got the rapping jihadi so this should you know i can just see the meeting And we need to kind of up the profile of American jihadists so we can drone them overseas But we need to like you know get there. We had needed reach a new audience got any ideas John Yeah, I think what we have to do is we gotta hit the hip-hop artist. We gotta him hard. We gotta him hard with something that's you know... Something kids go for it. That's a hip hop thing so i got an idea why don't we just dub him the rapping because I think rapping means hip hop? I don't know! I can keep up with it but the Hip Hop Jihadi will do... Oh love it love it love it say that again what did I just hear you said? The Hip Hop Jihadi. I love it no wait how about the yeah Hip Hop Jihadi. I'm liking this very good

48:31 Good, and then we will be able to just record some stuff. We can do it ourselves I have garage band how hard can it be? This crap stinks. I think my son knows how to do that He's got garage band we can ask him to do it to lay down some tracks and they will put it on YouTube That's what they say these days the kids they talk about laying down some beats They're gonna lay down some tracks and beat no I think it's beats And then they laid on some seats, and we do a joint yo and what sure what when is it drop? JcD. When do we drop this shit? Yeah, the shizzle. But that's the meeting ladies and gentlemen That would be the meeting yeah something like that there probably about five people in it two of them will be women What is that supposed to mean? I don't know just do it into sounded good now However you know I just want to get back to President Obama Because he did use a pretty good word

49:27 It was a real shut up slave moment. Did this air anywhere on television? Did people talk about this or is it only us that saw this? I didn't see it on television at all. So here's the question that got an interesting response and there was a follow-up, here we go... From the White House Press Corps Matt Spitalnik of Reuters The reason Spokeswoman Carney says that is so that both Obama and Netanyahu can look down at their crib sheet to know what question is coming. Exactly But I think Reuters, you know played a little bit off script on this one Thank you There was some friendly banter between you two gentlemen on the tarmac today about red lines And I'm wondering how much of a serious matter that actually came in. They're already chuckling

50:20 Red line! Your talks, and will be in the talks your talks to come tonight. President Obama has said it will take Iran at least a year to build a bomb that's months longer than Prime Minister believes That is much longer than that fuse on that drawing you held up BB Mr. President are you asking the prime minister should be more patient? To hold off for at least a year on any kind of military action against Iran Mr. Prime Minister has the President Obama's words have they convinced you of that? He is putting forth the credible military threat that you have repeatedly asked for and That or does he need to go further so the basic question is simple, and I in

51:06 it's kind of, I edited the whole thing out because they basically no answer comes but the question is hey President Obama says looks like there's a you know they're gonna have a bomb within a year this is a lot shorter than that fuse you showed now and I want to just intercept or interject really quickly what the president our president... I think he said it was longer. No! I want to play exactly what the president said Because words do matter and finally we continued our close consultation on Iran We agree that a nuclear-armed Iran would be a threat to the region, a threat to the world and Potentially an existential threat to Israel. And we agree on our goal. Hold on...we agree on our goal? What is the goal what does everyone think the goal is? Well I think the goal is to find some bogus excuse so we can bomb the place

52:00 But then listen to what he, to the actual word he uses. We do not have a policy of containment when it comes to nuclear Iran Our policy is to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon Acquiring a nuclear weapon? This is new! I'm not convinced with that...I think he's used this terminology before. Acquiring Nowhere in this entire meeting does he talk about building It's only about acquiring a nuclear weapon I could be wrong but i just want to point it out anyway. I know what you're saying and I think its interesting. Well let's go back to... Acquiring of course would imply the possibility to buy one from Pakistan

52:45 Yeah, North Korea who they're trying to yeah Is the one operation they're trying to demonize and I have just that this is just a short clip It's got nothing to do with this meeting. But it's just an example of anything you can do to demonize I know let me guess the hacker? Yeah, several major South Korean banks and broadcasters at a standstill today after their computer systems were paralyzed in what appears to be a cyber attack possibly from North Korea. South Korean authorities are investigating the hack No, I think... Bull crap! I got a better clip. I got a better clip about that. Listen to this it gets so much- This is the BBC who got the memo and the memo was okay we're shutting down the TV stations We're gonna turn off the ATMs make it look like it's a hack So you guys gotta make it up now do good job Okay? You know what? I know your in the BBC but you don't have journalistic integrity screw them just make some crap up

53:41 The South Korea is currently investigating- Career. She said career as opposed to my future career or my diarrhea South Korea is currently investigating a suspected cyber attack after the computer networks of several major organizations seem to have become paralyzed. Some of the country's biggest broadcasters and the banks are among those who say their networks have been frozen. Frozen? The networks have been frozen! It's like they turned the cold on to the water in the network! Isn't it amazing?! amazing yet of who or what this is BBC News could be responsible could be responsible let's go live now to the South Korean capital Seoul and talk to signal in if they're down like that no there's a networks unfrozen Williamson and Lucy tell us more about this when did it happen Lucy what bullcrap have you been told to say with a gun to your head? And how did people first observe that their systems had crashed oh the system crashed and I observed them the computer

54:41 was not working in as usual. Crap piece of shit! Oh hello we have a delay. It happened around 2 p.m local time and it happens simultaneously across three of the country's biggest broadcasters How many broadcasters are there if this is the biggest? Are there smaller ones that were not affected? It says KBS, NBC and YTN it also hit two banks Shinhan Bank and Nonghyup bank It didn't last for very long. Shinup at least got its systems back a couple of hours later, but the fact that it was a simultaneous attack... Fact! ...the fact that it took out all the staff computers for example at one of those broadcasters is making people very suspicious about the fact there may be a hacking attempt behind it.

55:26 and said maybe suspiciously the staff at some of those tv channels were saying that their computers simply crashed at 2pm and when they tried to get back online, the computers wouldn't respond. And there have been some unconfirmed reports that uh some people saw skulls and messages perhaps from a hacking organization appear on those screens but as... Skulls John! There was skulls on the screen. They could, they were everything froze it wouldn't work and we couldn't bring them back up because there were skulls on the screens. I say that last bit of information is unconfirmed as yet. Unconfirmed skulls on the screens! Given the state of relations with the North which are particularly bad at the moment perhaps inevitable then that North Korea is being seen as a possible culprit? Possible

56:11 culprit could it be so does anybody on this report by the way which is a clip of the day candidate candidate candidate yeah is anybody there's asking simple question is its curious that North Korea which have probably the lowest number of computers per capita no internet connectivity to speak of except for maybe if you government officials somehow in this in this dark ages of computer dumb in this backward country that they would be able to create a melee, a computer network mess. They froze the computers. Russia for example can't do it! This is unbelievable to me

56:55 Well, yes this is why I clipped this because i'm listening to this report and North Korea is so backwards in their computing if you ever go there they'll be like oh my god there's the guy from the DOS telecommunications book. Exactly! You're a superhero in North Korea This would be like...I mean it's unbelievable that this report what why don't they suggest anybody? Why don't they suggest If it was me I would ask the question maybe it's some local hacker who made the mistake of releasing It to his you know neighbors first of all we now have to assume That the only way this could really happen, and unless South Korea still runs on Windows 95 could be or NT 3.1 where you had remember the blue screen of death? We could basically send a

57:45 a packet king. They're pretty advanced and yeah of course they are but I'm just saying that's about the only thing i could imagine and then to actually have to do this via the network, have a skull appear on the screen um... this would have to be a virus this would have to be a distributed virus that was timed to go off at certain moment but there is no talk of the viruses as a hack! And uh... just listen to the rest of it. This kind of thing just hurts me. BBC News John, here we go Speculation is certainly focused in that direction at the moment. The investigation is of course, in its very early stages and so no one's really coming out and saying whether they believe there was foul play here or not or where it might have come from but certainly in the wider public the wider society here North Korea is the focus of that speculation It's believed to have been behind some major hacking successes here in the past accessing both government websites financial websites

58:44 deal I mean to access a website excuse me oh access the web site just accessed the way actually access access the website that was meant to I don't know serve information to my web browser North Koreans have got the ability to somehow type in URL Unbelievable these North Koreans. I gotta call Uncle Don about this right now. Oh yeah, he's at risk! A major newspaper here and of course tensions are particularly high on the peninsula at the moment so yes many people are beginning to speculate that that's a potential source of this disruption. FACT! Yes speculates alleged skull

59:37 A skull! Although I'm not sure that actually happened. So anyway, long story now we're back around my god where were we? We're back to Obama and BB Nettanyahu ignoring the question about the time difference at the acquisition of a nuclear device by Iran and of PowerPoint presentations, even though it was a printed board that was written out with a sharpie. It wasn't even done professionally. No color! I mean there were no sparks and it was very very poor. It was Wile E. Coyote Beta 0.9 Thank you thank you all right why don't you go take first swing at this? First of all

1:00:37 So he literally just, so the president says A and he looks at BB. Why don't you take it? He hands it to him. Yeah funny that way did that because when I saw that question I said well he's gonna answer no. No. He gave, he shifted, he moved quickly. And used a golfing term or a baseball term depending on which one you want. He said why don't you take a swing at this. I guess that would be a... For him it would be golfing because he can't even throw a baseball. You know, there are so many strips of different colors on the tarmac that we... We did have a joke about that. But obviously this matter is no joke." So they had a joke apparently the writers came in but I guess they tossed it out

1:01:25 They had a joke about the tarmac and the red lines, but the writers didn't like it so they tossed it out. But BB makes the biggest mistake you can make as a stand-up comedian which is to say that you had a joke which was funny... Yeah I was hilarious this joke I almost told! And I'm not going to tell you the joke very unprofessional. existence into something also that the president correctly identifies as a grave strategic threat to the United States.

1:02:01 and to the peace and security of the world. I'm absolutely convinced that the president is determined to prevent Iran from getting it. And also, you said something that he said which i mentioned in my opening remarks... That the Jewish people have come back to their own country to be masters of their own fate. This behavior indicates in the world were said this is now five minutes after the question which is that some of his answer the question why was it basically does uh... filibustering by just being slow talk about how you know and or are there a lot more time on what ronald reagan said we can't even trust yet much less verify but we do have to test past uh... the proposition that this could be resolved diplomatically uh... benefits

1:02:56 repeated to be what I've said publicly and that is, we will leave all options on the table in resolving it. So here he's basically the question is asked once again yeah but is going to be a year or not? One Israel, one Jerusalem. Welcome Mr President! So they basically shut him up And like, go away. So the question was not only not answered after it was asked the first time but the second time they turned the guy's mic off and shut him up at which point...

1:03:33 Todd what's his name? Todd Todd Todd chip Todd Chuck chip chip chuck Whatever the case he comes in and re-re asked the question a second to follow up to the other guy and says He did so and then Obama makes a huge joke out of those I'm gonna follow up a little bit in the peace process you began your term your first term big fanfare Cairo speech to talk to Muslim world The the decision to have a Middle East envoy early you said you weren't gonna let this slip to your second term We're in your second term with the Mideast peace process What went wrong? Why are we further away from a two-state solution I know you said you want to talk more about this tomorrow, but I am curious to what do you believe went wrong Did you push Israel too hard? What do you what do you wish you would have done differently and mr. Prime Minister? I want to help out my

1:02:56 repeated to be what I've said publicly and that is, we will leave all options on the table in resolving it. So here he's basically the question is asked once again yeah but is going to be a year or not? One Israel, one Jerusalem. Welcome Mr President! So they basically shut him up And like, go away. So the question was not only not answered after it was asked the first time but the second time they turned the guy's mic off and shut him up at which point...

1:03:33 Todd what's his name? Todd Todd Todd chip Todd Chuck chip chip chuck Whatever the case he comes in and re-re asked the question a second to follow up to the other guy and says He did so and then Obama makes a huge joke out of those I'm gonna follow up a little bit in the peace process you began your term your first term big fanfare Cairo speech to talk to Muslim world The the decision to have a Middle East envoy early you said you weren't gonna let this slip to your second term We're in your second term with the Mideast peace process What went wrong? Why are we further away from a two-state solution I know you said you want to talk more about this tomorrow, but I am curious to what do you believe went wrong Did you push Israel too hard? What do you what do you wish you would have done differently and mr. Prime Minister? I want to help out my

1:04:24 my colleague over here, and the follow-up that he had which had to do with you accept the president's understanding that Iran is a year away when it comes to nuclear weapons? And then another question I have for you. Chuck how many are you got? Do you guys do this in the Israeli press where you say one question and then you add like five... Hey hey who are you Ahole? Do you guys have aholes here like Chuck Chipperty This is crazy you get one question one question. He's not asked two questions Yeah, by the way let me point out miss goody-goody two shoes over here You see how the young lady from channel 1 she had one question that's right and she sexy too. She was very well behaved very well

1:05:09 very well behaved she's very that line that's the most didn't be she's a well-behaved good slave let very good tell muted questions okay BBs gonna throw some some religious humor oh wait but you dig tell me but again but now and so the Talmudic thing is like one but then he bombs on his next line I thought I had four questions. That's over starts in a couple days, I get four questions. Look this is not a kosher question but don't hog it. Oh boo! I think that's enough of this

1:05:55 uh... and well i just wanted to hear the word that uh... the president uses twenty-six what's it was going to be why do you believe these really people have not embraced president obama the same way they embrace our last two years so you had a polling question Chuck, I mean you're just incorrigible. There it is, incorrigible John. What does incorrigible mean? It means a juvenile delinquent That's right! Means you are an A-hole who does not behave in class You cannot be corrected So you will have to go the correction center

1:06:33 Now, of course the most important meeting is taking place... You won't get called on for a while. No no The most important meeting... You see the penalty box? We won't see uh Chip, Chip Chuck, Chip Todd... Chip is the other guy that's uh... Chod, Chod, Todd, Todd, Todd, Todd, Todd, what's his name? Todd Chuck Um so ummm The most important meeting the president will have in Israel Is taking place today Ed do you know what this meeting is? No, I did. In fact Todd mentioned it. I bet you don't know at all about this meeting? Oh is this the one where he's leaving and going someplace else? Yeah that's the one On Wednesday Barack Obama is arriving in Israel and among all the high ranking government officials he will be introduced to

1:07:15 is going to be a 21 year old girl from Netanya who was personally invited by the president. We of course are talking about the most beautiful woman in Israel for 2013, Miss Israel Titi Ayenawa. Titi Ayenawa! Chuck Todd The President requested a meeting with Miss Israel Let me get this straight Our President who's got better things to do than carouse with beauty contest and by the way she's what is he thinking Donald Trump was that she is she's black she's not it not born in Israel she's an immigrant and she's beautiful what's her name again let's TT look at her TT just miss Israel TT we caught up with their in this exclusive Jane one interview about how it feels to get ready to meet her biggest role model

1:08:10 It's hard to believe that less than a month ago No one knew who Titi was like a meteor the newly crowned Miss Israel has become a huge celebrity not only in her native Israel But internationally as well. It's not our native, Israel That's the thing I am where she from Will you find it? She's gorgeous, to say the least. She looks a little bit like one of his... I mean vaguely like one of his daughters actually which is kind of sick if you think about it Very twisted This is very suspicious Oh really! It was my turn to wear the tinfoil hat What are you talking about very suspicious There's no reason for this meeting that makes any sense unless its some sort

1:08:54 Well, it's a PR thing for something. Maybe she's the target maybe she's gonna get hit no So what's the deal with her? What's what's the background on her? I'm sure she's an Ethiopian Jew She's an Ethiopian Jew says right here Ethiopian Jew wins miss Israel contest just from Ethiopia She's beautiful. This is very good-looking woman This is ridiculous that he's doing this. There must be something going on. Obama has heard about her and decided that he wants to meet her. I'm very nervous to meet him,

1:09:37 President of USA, he's a huge man and... That's the reason. He's a huge man! Meanwhile back at home the little children of America are angry at the president. They're so angry! Jakiya Sellers like the rest of her classmates help fundraisers to come up with $300 each needed for their trip Do you understand what's going on here? I mean, why this is happening. Yes because Obama don't want nobody to see his beautiful house. Yay! That sounds CNN. They're out to get him. Yeah. Well they wanted it really embarrassing they play this Miss Israel thing up a little more in fact here's the headline of Ynet News i think its from Israel itself

1:10:31 uh... in the headline is miss israel prepares for obama date who right now and michelle is michelle along for the ride on things she's a long for the right issue she's gonna be unit pissed off yeah there should be held to pay when i find out what's going on does not good you know i'm only gonna be a president for a few more years and after that dumping my wife why should bill get all the goods he questions level of fun so it was a white guy who gets Although I'm honest. I heard you Ethiopian girls are hungry all the time That's the show opener ladies and gentlemen let me just ping the time 118 okay, I hear you Ethiopian girls are Hungry all the times that's real. That's really good John Should be slapped yeah so anyway

1:11:24 Uh, are we done with this thing? I think the whole reason for this junk is to meet this chick. Seems to me... I'm very skeptical about it. Like what? Oh, I gotta go talk to that BB, that nutjob who was over here. I don't even like that guy! No, I hate that guy, and Valerie Jarrett's like okay look, I know what we can do. Hey, look at this Ethiopian chick. She lived in a country next door where you were born Just up the road from you. She's your people And this by the way is the entire reason why commercials will not work on this program The best podcast in the universe we have to find people yeah, we make We have our a way of saying things To the mainstream it's actually not acceptable to a lot of people

1:12:20 to a lot of our listeners as a matter of fact. Ed, let me give you an example I was going to save this for donation but i can do it early since we're talking about it this is someone sent this to me i think it's from oh it's from Illinois I believe at a radio station and the guy is doing a news report about these about the ag gag you've heard about the ad gags So I don't know anything about the Ag Gags. You don't know about the Ag Gags? No, I don't know about the Ag Gags! Oh well let me play you a little thing about the Ag Gags and then you'll understand so the story... Hold on here it is this is from I think Russia Today just a little bit to give you some background on the ag gag called Ag-a-gag laws Sorry its Ag-a-gag laws Six states have already passed them these laws would make it illegal to take photographs or record

1:13:10 record video in farming operations. Ag-Gag laws prevent independent groups from conducting investigations into issues or exposing potential illegality." Now you remember what these are, right? So it's outlawing the possession and use of a clandestine camera anywhere near a farm essentially so that you can't go into the chicken coop shack... What are we Russia?! Yeah, yeah. And what's the problem? Why would any such law be passed? Well because obviously there is gambling going on in there. We're mistreating the animals and it's not even that you look at the package and see a happy smiling cow with like the feed port jammed into his side that can't stand on its own two legs and it makes you now want to buy meat!

1:14:04 So this is a problem. The ag gag comes up in the news story on the station and these are two guys like, hey everybody! I think it might be morning show or afternoon show, it's talk radio station and one guy just jumps in to stop the story but he kind of makes it worse. Boeing however is not alone, meat and poultry industry they have some money to buy their own way as well So there's an undercover video comes out shows cows struggling to stand as they're brought into the slaughterhouse via forklifts. The point of this being, those cows later because they were diseased led to a big beef recall also the same thing happened in the poultry industry so what have they decided to do? In about eight different states They want to make it illegal to take photographs at farming operations long and short of it is this

1:14:49 The meat industry spends a lot of money here with us, so it's not that you're reporting abuses. It's that these abuses lead to recalls So what we'll do is just say you can't take pictures of it and deal with it yourself Yeah I think the hotline went shut up and he actually says guy that one guy play the beginning again that one that one of the two guys that guy sounds enough like Obama naturally oh really that may if you think about it that maybe your you know that you always need some insight into an if you're gonna mimic somebody that's hard to mimic like Obama yeah but even though you have part of it this

1:15:29 Just listen for Obama when you hear this, just the beginning of a few 10 seconds. Boeing however is not alone to meet up with Ultra in Austria they have some money to buy their own way as well It's a little over the top but I hear what your saying. Hi everybody! I'm coming to you from Israel where i am about to make Tidi. Tidi is from Ethiopia. Tidi is asking Well, she's well behaved. You might be able to get it eventually by the time Hillary is in office. Yeah nailed it! So Ron I kind of ran into an interesting clip and I want to talk about this because when you guys started talking about this

1:16:15 I thought to myself, this is interesting because not to mention it we are walking around with little radios receivers and transmitters with us all the time. Yeah our phones. And play commotion networks and there's a three-parter here that these clips are a little long because of democracy now they love talking too much but We'll play these clips for a while and then I get the kicker which is like, oh this is real interesting. By shutting down the internet well this week the software he helped launch will launch here in the United States it's called commotion wireless you can download the program on your cell phone or laptop computer in order to create what's called a mesh network

1:16:57 It allows you to share internet access with other devices on the network. This so-called peer to peer communication can also challenge the centralized business model and control of internet service providers. To talk more about commotionwireless.net and its implications for participatory democracy here in the U.S., and around the world, we're joined by Sasha Meinrath, director of the New America Foundation's Open Technology Institute He's also speaking today here at the Freedom to Connect conference. Welcome to Democracy Now! So what is it that you are releasing? What we're releasing is software that repurposes available hardware, cell phones laptops etc

1:17:35 to allow them to communicate directly with one another. So, in addition to needing cell phone unlocking we really want these technologies to be liberated in the same way that our personal computers can connect to say a network inside your home or office We want to expand that to encompass an entire community and neighborhood Okay, hold on.

1:18:17 I already don't trust it. Well, well it gets better okay yeah no I don't trust that either but and and there's a couple of issues they never bring up one of them is that the light that the frequency is used by a cell phone or licensed frequencies are not like Wi-Fi which is a public domain frequency He's, I believe looking at the website commotionwireless.net they're talking about activating the Wi-Fi portion of your phone not the and perhaps even Bluetooth not the actual cell network part. Am i wrong? I look at that website and by the way if you go to the bottom of it click on download

1:19:05 You'll get a web page. You'll get a skull on your screen if you click on download. You hit that download thing at the very bottom and then it brings up a screen with a bunch of warnings, if doesn't do this or does not do that, you're just no secure all the stuff he's not saying in the show. Let me tell ya cannot hide your identity, does not prevent monitoring of internet traffic, does not provide strong security against monitoring over the mesh can be jammed with radio data interference So, but anyway. But it's still intriguing and I like the idea and so play part two and then we'll kind of get to what is real interesting about this How do you launch this? You're just putting it on your website Sure well we've been developing these technologies for about a dozen years now all in source freely available And were making them available freely via the project website

1:19:58 as well as via any other means for transporting software. So, any cell phone or laptop that has the software can be used to virally update other devices and spread the communication. So we're talking phones, computers... Now talk about how this all derived? Go back in time. So the background for this project is back a dozen years ago, before... A decade before Occupy there was another global justice uprising within the United States. Tell us what it is! Large-scale protest spending in cities. You covered it quite well here on Democracy Now!. Well then tell us what it is? During those protests that became very clear that surveillance monitoring of communications from the United States was pretty heavily undertaken by law enforcement

1:20:44 And a lot of us came up with the notion that what we really needed was a secure mechanism for communicating here in the US, that would not be surveilled and monitored. And that was the genesis of the project... So first it's activists challenging the state and then the State Department funds what they have developed. and funds the project that you were involved with for dissidents overseas. Correct, so they see the functioning of this technology being incredibly useful for spreading participatory democracy around the globe and their focus is very much on how do we accelerate the development that's been happening now worldwide for the past dozen years? So explain how it's used in places like Egypt

1:21:36 And what does it mean? I was gonna say, I didn't want to interrupt your clip. I was gonna say internet in a suitcase and boom! Being able to still communicate using cell phones locally even if the cell towers are off is really paramount. That use case is something that the technology actually helps solve So in an Egyptian sort of scenario, if you're in Tahrir Square You would still be able to communicate You'd still be able to make phone calls You'd still be able to send text messages In essence, you'd still be able to organize and share information in real time

1:22:13 across the local folks that are there. Yeah, we get it anything else of the last 15 seconds here? No, you can skip it. Good work good work. It was apparently WTO protests A bunch of guys got together and said, this sucks because they've been listening in and knew everything we were going to do. And they arrested Bill. And so then they came up and had a meeting and said you know what? We can do I got some ideas man. The phone does have a radio in it. So they started working on it. They obviously got nowhere. No funding no funding. Sequoia passed Kleiner passed everybody passed on it yeah. So the State Department comes along they turn

1:22:56 and the next thing you know they got this thing and now you can download it. Very complicated, it only works on Android if first you gotta crack the android, then you gotta root it and its like this is impractical! And you have to have a critical mass of people to make it useful because you can't have a mesh network with two people. So I'm also thinking now that this is the internet in the suitcase, that crap ain't working over there! No one's using this? I don't even believe anyone installed in Egypt they were like oh what I can't get it through Android Play

1:23:37 I'm not interested in that. I've got to root my phone? What are you doing? Techie nerds is ridiculous, and yeah...I thought it was a really interesting idea and i think there's still some potential for an illegal...it would have to do it right. You'd use the cell phone frequencies Yeah uh..right. Just assume there's no towers and the cell phones would just talk to each other which is doable but you would have rig the phone to do it, it would be a nice little two-way communication. This whole thing is so stupid when you have the Prepper radio series you've got the Prepper SDR you know in... I agree this is by these bow fingers that we have. Bow finger!

1:24:29 Sorry, they're cheaper than a phone and they have better cheaper. They're like 35 bucks cost nothing It's just cheaper and they're better my goodness on that direction instead of this This whole thing is just like a misdirection instead of getting people involved in ham radio and things like thank you Ham radio was where it's at people let me tell you that right now That's where it's at. I think it is! I'm also so, you know... We'll talk about another time but anyway I'm very excited because you know getting these things into production man yeah I know your device Yeah well have a whole line of devices now I just went nuts on it

1:25:06 So there's also Prepper CW, this one. This is the one for you! I'm gonna gift you the first version. It's Prepper CW? Yeah, Prepper CW. Prepper CW is beautiful Do you know an aga in the UK? We've talked about this right that the British stove... The AGA? Yeah that's a stove that you like yeah so UK stoves and Sweden different not mistaken but they use it in the UK see you know the red AGA You know that metal that it's made of and that finish that is has? Yeah, its enameled finish and is made out of uh... That's what the Prepper CW is gonna be made out. It's gonna be made out of pot metal or whatever that is? Yeah! It's gonna be indestructible. What foundries around can make that around here? Well... China Get me some radioactive china metal

1:26:02 Yeah, make sure to check with the Geiger counter. It comes over. Oh yes please I got one segment of drunk or not drunk. Oh fantastic! Oh boy oh boy and so i want you to hit the buzzer we need a jingle for this. I know we do Nick Drunk Or Not Drunk and this is Al Franken in the Senate. I as Senator Durbin... I'm chairman of the subcommittee on privacy technology and the law, and this sort of seems like it could have been... This hearing could have been held in that subcommittee. I'm glad we did it as the whole committee. No no no! I'm taking it back at this point. At this point? I don't think he's drunk let's hear the rest. This is a perfect example why

1:26:54 I believe there is...I would characterize the Constitution as a living constitution. Whoa! You mean like we can just change it willy-nilly? Like, a will? Founders, I think it'd be fair to say probably didn't anticipate this they didn't anticipate the phone and that's why at certain point We had to decide whether phone taps were a violation of the Fourth Amendment. Okay, I take it back he's not drunk he's high clearly! And that really came down to people's expectation of privacy and that's kind of a big part what we're talking about here

1:27:44 today. And then he pukes all over himself? Drunk, yeah drunk I think he's drunk. But maybe high... I think high... Maybe... Yeah I think high. No I don't think so because you're in Washington DC get a lot of drinks people are drinking and meeting and drinking and drinking but it so i do have one more clip from him it's not from him its about drones this was up this was a I guess one of the senators put hearing together and it ended up with everybody saying two bits and leaving so that, so he is there by himself literally in this big hearing room. And he's the one guy seated and he's trying to finish his meeting but did but there was a couple of good little bits

1:28:29 in the smaller drones coming a clip. Think of drones are the big predator drones which are being operated in the United States but we also have that ones that you see on the desk in front of you all the way down to there now drones the size of a hummingbird being developed and micro-drones and drones even smaller so the technology is increasing at exponentially rapid rate and as we move forward were just going to see the capabilities these devices increase Before we go any further with this clip, I just had a new product idea. I want to throw it out there. I know we've changed the first of file but i'll be filing this patent We need a hand carried EMP weapon and I'm pretty sure it can be done so you have like because what's with these small drones

1:29:16 It's not the drone itself. It's their ability to swarm that is going to be frightening That's when you know when you can get 5,000 of them all And then these little drones turn into one big drone that seriously it's the swarming that's dangerous we need to have a Handheld because they can't be in flying and Faraday cages You have to have an EMP device what? We just we had to write frequency and just just fry the crap out of them This would be, I'm telling you this would be a hit. People would buy this Well i would have one if she wants 5 thousand little drones coming at me And he's like... Just fry all the transistors What is the mechanism that uh That you can create an EMP-like effect with? An atomic bomb Oh okay well Maybe it will kind of draw back So presumably At some point You could have One the size Of a mosquito

1:30:14 Has a battery that operates for weeks What an asshole have a mosquito following you around and not know it's the swarming idiot aware of it There are already images online of a mosquito drone being developed by the National Security Agency And I'm trying to figure out what technology they can put on it to make small enough to put on it. Yeah, but if An adolescent boy gets a hold of one of those He's looking at her tits going I'm so fucking drunk. I'm so drunk right now. Oh boy, I love that mosquito flying in your boobs All right now before we get into our little thank-you segment here I want to take us back in time

1:31:10 Do I have the... Where's the harp? I looked for that the other day, didn't I? Couldn't find it. You lost a harp. I don't understand! I had like a harp sound like a... Ring? No, like a brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr To fight chronic osteoarthritis pain now. Do you recall what this commercial was for? Yeah, it was for Microsoft I think to fight chronic low back pain to take action to take the next step today You will know you did something for your pain Symbolic can help okay So we played the whole commercial about symbol and not come back into the future with me a second here We got a note from one of our producers Aaron

1:32:07 And he says, I'm just in the middle of listening to the March 17th NO Agenda show and I heard you and John talking about Cymbalta. I was put on Cymbalta a few years ago for pain that comes from being hit by a car while walking across the street back in 2002 I figured, I need to share this note John because he can tell us about Cymbalta. Do you recall the side effects of Cymbalta? All kinds of stuff! Let's listen to the commercial and see if we can get the idea. Sure. Cymbalta is a pain reliever FDA approved to manage chronic musculoskeletal pain One non-narcotic pill a day every day can help reduce this pain

1:32:45 Tell your doctor right away if your mood worsens you have unusual changes in mood or behavior Okay, so these are not really disclaiming it But you should call your doctor if you have unusual changes and behaviors of suicide thoughts of suicide increase these in children teens and young adults Is not for children under 18 actually try to call their doctor anymore. I don't As the nasal it or thioridazine, or with uncontrolled glaucoma should not take Cymbalta. Taking it with NSAID pain relievers aspirin and blood thinners means a lot to remember. Severe liver problems some fatal were reported signs include abdominal pain and yellowing skin arise tell your doctor about all your medicines including those for migraine while on Cymbalta call right away if you have high fever confusion in stiff muscles infusion allergic skin reactions like blisters peeling rash hives are mouth sores do address possible life-threatening conditions talk about your alcohol

1:33:32 use liver disease and before you reduce or stop Cymbalta. Dizziness or fainting may occur upon standing take the next step talk to your doctor, Cymbalta can help. Okay so that's the commercial here ladies and gentlemen some actual side effects of cymbalta as witnessed by a no agenda producer As we said, Aaron was put on Cymbalta a few years ago for pain that comes from being hit by a car while walking across the street back in 2002. So it was prescribed to him as a pain reliever which is a new use for Cymbalta It's a new patent for them and of good He said it didn't seem to do anything for my pain but I did notice that after 30 days or so... ...it supposedly takes to kick-in I started feeling incredibly sad all the time

1:34:20 and crying for no reason. It was insane! What was worse, however... ...was that I blacked out once because of it and started according to my girlfriend at the time running around the house smashing things then i fell on the floor out cold she told me when she asked what I took when I dropped to the floor apparently I said werewolves and vampires Oh God How awesome is that? I think this is another one you should test. What did you take and he said werewolves and vampires, I'm on board with this so let me know because I wonder if we can mix it up with some howl doll really have a party

1:35:08 uh... yeah that's pretty good that takes a month of to get to that point so yeah well you know your persistence persistence always pays off show my soul by donating to no agenda imagine all the people who could do with us oh yeah that'd be fab yes we did have some helpers, some producers who came in with some donations and were going to name them and there is couple notes i'm gonna Oh actually, let's first thank Peter Popozinski in Bayshore New York of $195.30 and then an anonymous donor from Los Angeles of one hundred fifty dollars has a note that I have to discuss because i think it's a great idea he says or she he or she I can't say which um it's anonymous

1:36:07 I would like to offer some advice to fellow listeners in addition to supporting the show. John sometimes complains about grocery store rewards cards that track what you buy and could potentially be used for insurance purposes in the future most membership cards are tied to a phone number so if you forget your card, you can type in your phone number and it will recognize or use when they ask for a phone number Luckily, because of the popularity of the Tommy Tunes song... 867- TommyTutone. 8 6 7 5 3 0 9. That's the one. Jenny is the name of the song from 1982. Stores have an account signed up for most area codes plus that number

1:36:46 For example, in the 310 area code at almost every major grocery store I've tried. I can enter 310-867-5309 and get the member discounts without the potential for my insurance company using it against me in the future! Just thought that would spread the word and if you find an area code that doesn't work fill out a form and sign up for so others can use it." This is a great social hack. This is a social hack and this is a great benefit to No Agenda listeners Because it's I think it's true. I'm gonna start checking it next time I go to the store Got two or three places that always you know now here Here's what can happen of course so you'll be in the checkout line and oh, man forgot my card What's your number? Yeah? It's a five one Oh Eight six seven five three You got you can't say with the cadence o nine

1:37:40 And okay, oh! Zero. You say zero nine. Oh Mr. Curry well if you would only buy three more packs of adult diapers we can give you a discount There ya go I don't know if this is good Well Could lead to some embarrassing situations If you want to get the discount My experience has always been just say I forgot my card and then they use their own card and still get the discount They wanna give me the discount John Henry in Fajardo Puerto Rico Uh, 1-2-3-4-5. Okay hold on a second... According to the chat room this was on Lifehacker and this is a plagiarized note Oh! That could be Could be Well It may be a plagiarized note but I wonder if the person has checked out all of 310 stores Well it doesn't really matter because it did not come to my attention Because let me think uh oh yeah I'm watching C-Span instead of Lifehacker Yeah Lifehacker And I am too busy helping people get through TSA

1:38:41 Right. Well, it's still a good tip the great tip but so yeah chat room I do Once in a while see all the exclamation points from the corner of my eye Exclamation points Those guys never read the chatroom This is new social hack this is just plagiarized this is lame This is the same one you get when you run a blog and see somebody sends your video. That video was from a year ago! By the way, that's caught... You will get banned for divorce. It's like I can't believe you guys didn't see that on Lifehacker before

1:39:31 Alright, onward with people who are... John Hamm in Puerto Rico. 1-2-3-4-5 Andrew Mc... Em Holcomb in Ann Arbor Michigan 1111 Audrey Saye Symes Sims something like that St Louis Missouri mentions that she has a birthday do we have her on the list? Audrey's well I wish you knew how to pronounce it now I think its Symes is it Simms? Symes no. Well then put her on this is not good when was their birthday today Audrey so I'm gonna say signs. I think it's signs gotta be signs yeah, I think so that's great William $100 he gave a hundred dollars to Sam sir Sam law Luang Luang Lung Lung I think it's pronounced Yeah He is uh gave 99 bucks and pushed him over to another knighthood Oh which now? He's claiming a barony

1:40:25 Uh, and it's been... we've checked the accounting? Apparently because JC put it in the note. So how many knighthoods equals a barony? Two No, no that's baronet. Now this is his third which is a barony Oh so two is Baronette three is we didn't talk about the levels two was Baronette three is Barony right and then what's after Barony I have to go back and get that email that I sent out five ten twenty I think is what it is something like yeah And but very important if you give your knighthood away You can't double count it towards your is that right? I'm asking

1:41:03 Well, this is a meeting that's needed. So for instance we have today will be knighting Dame Suzanne Massimo has given his knighthood away Right But now if he then gets his own knighthood does he go straight to Baronet? Well this is the question that needs to be answered I would say no! I would say as well you've given it away So, you know and he could give the second knighthood slash Dame hood to his wife And she would be a baronet correct. Yes. Yeah, you can't but you can't double count that would be my Hello what did the email say it said? You were like the the the you had a title this by the way is a proposal It says very clearly in the email and here's it goes like let me just read it. It's a proposal I'm sorry

1:41:55 Night dames a single knighthood is a night Dame. Okay, the baronet is double Knights Baron as triple nights then comes Viscount which is 5x and then Earl Which is 7 times night Then Duke 10 10 X night and this has all reflected on the Dvorak org slash na page No, this is in the email. This is in the newsletter that people get. People are already on board! We're doing our first Barony thing today So it has never been fully approved so I haven't put it on the main page yet Well okay hereby ratified The great state of Texas ratifies this idea Do we have a second?

You have to come over this is good I don't want to talk about it too much nothing nothing nothing This just like do we gonna have a special ceremony? No no no no We mention it! No I don't have time for ceremonies I don't have time to read Lifehacker, and I don't have time for Ceremonies. Yeah we're too good at watching Lifehacker. Ashley Hurst in Seattle? Our fisherwoman. Yes! Oh, sometimes I go back and look at her picture. 77. 70-07 she decided to get on that page. That picture with her with the big fish? Big giant fish. Something sexy about it...I can't put my finger on it

I think it's probably Steven okay, Stephen. I got a go hottie Segment of a bunch of 6969

1:44:17 Oh, sorry. I wasn't paying attention That stuff never goes away! People love the Swazilnops 69! 69! Well not really it looks like there's only three today so it's not Yes its gonna be dead shortly Dead on Sunday Karsten Ove Schwarz-Nielsen in some place or other He by the way mentions that 495 and 496 have been fantastic shows And he says John Belushi must be turning in his grave. That of course is a direct reference to spook Dan Aykroyd, the disappointing CIA spook, chill Dan Aykroyd. Yeah who may have been... Richard Arredondo in Santa Maria California 6969 and that closes... 69! 69 dudes! That's it. Closes the segment. It's a goner

1:45:14 There was somebody else that we are supposed to credit. I don't know if it's on the spreadsheet is this the right spreadsheet Redux? I hope so Reboot studio Sir Coggs and Kressa by the way, I want to mention two people If you send in a one of these donations where we're just rattling off names now Don't send in separate email saying to be anonymous put it in the note reboot studio sir cogs and crescent city 66 83 Uh, oh by the way I have to mention something back here on the... I think i missed the uh one of the notes. Ah nuts! Alright we'll mention it next time. Somebody has a book out that wanted to plug and I don't see any more. Well you know who it wasn't?

We have a couple of things first we have to make good because everything was all screwed it we basically thanked everybody twice on Sunday show yeah there's a mess it's okay because it was actually a technical issue and that thing believe that's been solved so make good number one is Scott Montgomery donated $69.69 to Swaziland Offs on Sunday did not get mentioned I'm sure we'll find a few more of those as people catch up to the episodes and Luke from Munich mention Says my previous two donations were 3333 my girlfriend's thirty-third birthday and 5555 no agendas fifth anniversary on Monday My girlfriend Jana, and I will be a guess Janna. Jana Janna And I will be celebrating eight years together I thought I'd double my contributions and send you 8888 in return I'd like a karma plus 88 Morse code and of course another great episode or the best podcast in the universe we really appeal

1:49:29 Apologize because you know kind of sucks when you and yeah, you got an anniversary. You're trying to look smart for your woman you know and like Yeah, I was like hey It's coming it's coming any minute now any minute now And it's like and then just hear the frickin credits at the end and like what the heck? QA holes you left me out. He left me out so karma And I'll plug the book in the next show. Okay, very good. It's your birthday, birthday! But before we all know how much it hurts... Alright here we go. Piotr Szyczuk says happy birthday to his brother Bartolo celebrating on the 23rd Sir Howard Gutknecht congratulates himself celebrated yesterday Elgi Consulting LLC Happy Birthday to his son Jack turns 12 right on Jack glad have you

1:50:23 are listening to the show at an early age so we can get you early and corrupt ya. And Audrey Sines also celebrates her birthday, happy birthday from your friends here at The Best Podcast in the universe! And... We have a daming today? A nice daming. Um..and after that too we will have a quick mention for a Baron So I'm very excited about all this If we can just uh get these swords ready and um Hello? Hold on There it is Alright, Suzanne Cataneo. Step forward and kneel before the table of knights and dames! Thanks to Massimo's collection of points for his knighthood he is giving you the knighthood therefore making you Dame Suzanne! Dame of the Knights & Dames of the Noah-Jenner Round Table For you we have standing by if you prefer red poison chardonnay

1:51:22 Vodka and vanilla, bong hits and bourbon sparkling cider on escorts mutton and mead And I left all the other ones off that were not relevant to you as dang But I think the rent boys in Chardonnay may come in handy And I'm sure Massimo will be quite okay with that because that's how we roll here at The Roundtable. That's how we roll. I keep trying to convince my wife It's ok it's how we roll I've always found that to be one of the most obnoxious things anyone could say. I need to call you out on something Oh, oh You said and I didn't clip it I should have we were talking about? I guess it was on the last episode about you know The spreadsheet messed up and you thought I was saying one thing that I was like, oh this is horrible He said yeah what they goes wrong once and then you know It's like you got a fire your kid And then you said

1:52:12 So like, oh I made out with that woman and now the marriage is over? What?! Yes you said this. I said what!? You said... That's like making out- I said that you made out with this woman and now the marriage is over?? You said that is LIKE your wife saying, and I guess you were reflecting on yourself That you made up? Like you cheated. I know, when i said that... Yeah? You know this is not a good analogy it's just totally bogative but its like uh... The question is why did you come up with it why did you say this Is there something you'd like to share with the group John

1:52:50 making out with anybody apparently. But also, I mean if let me tell you if if we're still thinking... If I made out with some other woman it you know no would she leave me? No but it would break a lot! It would break stuff that's just not this horrible analogy. I'm fine and I apologize for making such a stupid comment and it was like completely off the wall I don't know why even came out of my mouth and it was I was trying to go somewhere Hey Mimi hold on second yeah Believe me, I was actually on the fly. I was trying to come up with a gem and then that came out and said ah that's dumb And then I just let it go because you just like didn't even hear it. I heard it but there was other stuff going on so But it stuck with me throughout the... So it bothered ya good! Oh my god. I don't know if I can say this Mr. Oil just got arrested in Cyprus What? What happened? Hold on a second

1:53:54 Let me read this. Our car got stopped on the way to the airport, he was ordered out under gun search demanded... Oh!

This latest from Cyprus, our car got stopped on the way to the airport we were ordered out under gunpoint searched demanded to surrender all money and cash that we had We are arrested five minutes later as refused to comply with everything we threatened to be taken to jail and forgotten about this is you know he's very upset so it's a little weird English after call to my lawyers was promptly released this is effed up

1:56:23 I think. Sir Sam, as of today is the second Baron No no he's the third No because we have a Baron and a Baroness So we know we have another guy...I can't remember his name I had it written down somewhere who We apparently gifted a Baron to you Okay hold on a second You're just not a guy Well i don't have his name but he's a fellow He's a sir He got a barony and so what is the sir Sam? Baron Sam loon get he asked for something actually it's under this in the note. Oh, let's see once Let's see what you want to get away. What all you have to do is ask he says He would like I think I'll claim me once he would we have to give him will give him this he wants To claim the Great Lakes oh Consider it done my friend You can have them

1:57:21 He's a Canadian I believe, so he only gets the Great Lakes that are in Canada. Yes So Lake Michigan is still up for grabs Still available Alright So he gets all the Great Lakes except Lake Michigan We don't want to cause an international issue Frackas So hi gents, realized two things. One I was recently booted off the 33-33 monthly plan at the beginning of the month this happens all the time people check your subscriptions PayPal is whack Resubscribe. Thank you notice that my total contribution under the plan was just over $1,000 My guess is that PayPal may have a cap on the total subscription value and will automatically unsubscribe as a precaution No I don't think so this happens just rams an 11 dollar and it happens all the time Just the thought You know all we do up here in Canada is party and have Canadian mac and cheese also known as poutine poutine

1:58:20 Can't get more Depression-era cuisine than that. Take it easy, gents! Also now that the noagenthenation.com system tells me I've contributed just enough for my third knighthood at NBarony... ...I think I'll claim the Great Lakes as my domain should we move over to the new peerage system. Sam? Congratulations, we had a meeting earlier you are now the Baron of The Great Lakes Of Canadia And let's find out what this poutine looks like. Yeah, poutine I gotta check that out too. Poutine... It's probably the French... you know the Quebecers version of mac and cheese they can't just call it mac and cheese after all. No no well that's a violation of trademark!

1:58:58 Poutine is a typical Canadian dish originally from Quebec made with french fries. Ooh! French fries topped with brown gravy and curd cheese. Oh right, I've seen this dish. It's totally disgusting. Look at the picture on the wiki page it looks like poop and whipped cream Well, the cheese... The curd cheese means it's fresh cheese. Just a regular just cheese curd that you can buy in some stores It would be similar to taking cottage cheese and rinsing off all the liquid, the goop. And so you could do it with cottage cheese and what you would do is take a bunch of french fries usually hand cut that was so the skins are still on them yeah and then you dump this cheesy just cheese on top No no no it looks like they put the gravy on first Well this one I'm looking at has the gravy over the cheese The dish originated in rural Quebec Canada in the late 1950's

1:59:56 That's not really depression era and here's one. Here's a poutine with onions and bacon Huh, I think so BOM is called poutine bomb poutine would be Bacon Oh onion and merguez which is oh? I love merguez what is merguez yeah it said that I taught you merguez we bought it from the French do is there horrible sausage made from lamb poutine calm Oh man, it's already taken. Buy the poutine shop! You can order online poutine you can order it already made this is not cheap by the way This poutine...this is not mac and cheese Here's one that's interesting the Emmy which is poutine which is Elvis steak haché poivrons and champignon which has got mushrooms You guys eat crap

2:00:53 They got all this stuff. That's nasty! Here is a Marissa poutine, which has got three kinds of meat. Essentially you take a bed of french fries that should be greasy and then just dump stuff on it Nice And thats it your done This is probably the origin or the idea of nachos Yeah You take a bunch of chips, which are not french fries but coincidentally... Chips is what the British call french fries. But you take a bunch of which could be a mistranslation of the dish so it's do you take chips, which are corn chips and put them on the bottom then dump a bunch cheap cheese all over the top and then you can put on some sour cream or some meat or some jalapenos chopped nice and then you eat that during an athletic event

2:01:41 Okie dokie, it's all I got. I got two banker clips. I've been holding on to one for a couple weeks I just knew we never got around to it and yesterday the Bernanke Ben Benjamin Bert the Bernanke our central banker dude Who's married to Andrea Mitchell right? Oh, yeah, I gotta know is the other guy oh Oh, that's right. The Greenspan guy. Greenspan? I got a clip from her too So first here is the Attorney General Eric Holder By the way...I'm betting even money that Erica Mitchell and her husband have dinner on occasion with Bernanke Andrea Mitchell What did i say

2:02:26 I said Erica Mitchell. But that's good, that's her new name. She should consider it official change. Anyway go on sorry. Okay so here he is a couple weeks ago talking about big banks and how frightening they are to him he's very afraid of them. is one that I frankly share and i'm not talking about HSBC now, maybe that would not be appropriate but I am concerned that the size of some of these institutions... Hold on stop stop stop. He has picked up the exact same cadence in almost the same voice and you can hear it if you're not going to say it Eric Holder This IS Eric Holder Oh! I thought your playing Bernanke? No Bernanke's next But your right

2:03:14 Eric Holder has picked up the exact same cadence as Eric Holder. It's uncanny ladies and gentlemen. The size of some of these institutions becomes so large that it does become difficult for us to prosecute them when we are hit with indecision. Prosecuted for what? for fraud and being just, you know he's saying... Oh the douchebag is quoting. Yeah they haven't done anything! He's saying because they're so big we can't prosecute organized crime is so big so we can arrest anybody? Is that what he's saying? Yeah listen again. When we are hit with

2:03:55 indications that if you do prosecute, if you bring a criminal charge it will have negative impact on the national economy perhaps even the world economy and I think that is a function of the fact that some these institutions have become too large. Again not talking about HSBC this just more general comment but I think has an inhibiting influence or in impact on our ability to bring resolutions that I think would be more appropriate and i think that is something that we you all need to consider. The concerns you raise are actually one that I share. So reading between the lines, and by the way my god it's uncanny he sounds so much like Eric Holder just its killing me

2:04:42 What I'm hearing here is these banks, we cannot actually throw people in jail. We can't prosecute because if we do that these banks fall apart then the world collapses Is that pretty much what he said there? Yep Now let's listen to Bernank who sounds a lot like Ben Bernanke On the benefits of being too big to fail No, we don't have an estimate It's pretty difficult to control for all the factors that go into determining The size of the subsidy. The size of the subsidy, John!

2:05:18 So the banks, he's going to talk about this a little bit more but the banks that are too big to fail are being subsidized by the Federal Reserve and he doesn't even know how much money. I think there is some evidence that financial markets or at least to some extent take it into account as possibility of large financial institutions will fail you see for example spreads in the credit default swaps indicate some probability failure You see some discrimination among different institutions according to the bond market interest rates that they get charged and so on. So there is some evidence of market discrimination. That being said, I certainly never meant to say to Senator Warren – and I share her concern about Too Big To Fail – I think it's a major issue – I never meant to imply that the problem was solved and gone. It is not solved and gone. It's still here but

2:06:08 But there's a lot of work in train. We're putting in the Basel capital standards, we're putting in the orderly liquidation authority from Dodd-Frank and working with our international partners to help the white progress against too big to fail because I agree with her 100% that it's a real problem and needs to be addressed if at all possible. Dooshbag! Just take our money do whatever you want. Anyway, here's the I have a clip that is kind of interesting. Can I can I can? I finish up my? Actually was a point to this okay go oh Okay, it's gonna be like that go on. I want to play Erica Mitchell Oh What does she have to say well Erica Mitchell so the only point I was making was So this is how

2:07:02 are the highest judicial dude in the land thinks. You know, the banks own him. The banks own everybody we can't do anything We can't prosecute them because they're so scary! We have their Bernank who is the Federal Reserve's highest banker in the land and he's a bank He is the bank Ben Bernanke the Bank and he isn't saying well you know what? Hey it's what it is...we can't let him fail And then we have Andrea Mitchell. Now she is an elite because she is married to the former Bank Bernank, Greenspan right? Yeah and listen to what she says as she talks to her colleagues

2:07:49 about the failure what she would be speaking from an insider's perspective and Insiders perspective This is my point so the guy who used to run the whole money scheme in the banks that guy His wife, and they fit together perfectly. You know that just starting to look like each other yeah, so his wife gives her colleagues a talking to about the failure of the, or so-called because it's not but about the assault rifle assault weapons like style ban that is now being pulled out of the legislation by the Democrats. Listen to the words Democratic majority leader Harry Reid decision to not let the assault weapons ban go to the floor for vote angered Senator Dianne Feinstein who is not giving up

2:08:40 This is very important to me and I'm not going to lay down and play dead. I think the American people have said in every single public poll that they support this kind of legislation Joining me now for more on that and all the other political news For our daily fix today Chris Alyssa MSNBC contributor and managing editor of post politics calm and USA Today's Washington bureau chief Susan page so she now has The contributing editor msnbc.com and the editor of USA Today these are big this is a big person Yeah, what is this? That's not the editor of USA Today What is the

2:09:22 venue here? Does she have her own show, is this a Sunday thing where'd you get this? She is standing on location outside of the White House which I think is... On what show? Uh..she's on uh...what is she on MSNBC. She's on NBC ABC NBC What is it a news show? It's a news show yes Yes Go on just play it Hi to both of you Well while I'm away you guys let the assault weapons ban die practically at least Harry Reid says that he's not There ya go While I'm away, you stupid journalists let this die. Oh play that again! I didn't catch it at all You didn't scare the American public appropriately? Just play it Both of you... Well while I am away you guys let the assault weapons ban die practically At least Harry Reid says he's not going to let it go forward Wow thats a weird clip No she means it This is how she thinks

2:10:20 Yeah, I wasn't here. Next thing you know all hell breaks loose. Yeah, I was not to be here all the time I wasn't here to manage the media to manage you people on your handler. I'm taking care of business I make sure you write things You know like the Sandy hook like terrible is a great clip But why don't get how it hooks into the Bernanke clip only because she's elitist like everybody else and she was married Well, here's an interesting clip this kind of a financial clip that I just think is good piece of information I talked about this it was on the Charlie Rose, I mentioned it to Horowitz who thinks this guy's just a douche but its okay. He is the guy who used to run AIG he was kicked out and then AIG fell apart he thinks you could have saved his name very famous guys like 85 still tough cookie and he's irked about he thinks that government stole AIG without compensation cost him most of it but here's what there's one little tidbit in here at that was worth

2:11:12 Worth listening to which is the and I kind of agree with him, and this is uh? What's the name of this clip Hank Greenberg on Paulson? And it did happen you became Baltimore. You would have known how you convinced in your own mind That's true no question look I chaired the New York Fed for several years Been on the board before that then Then became vice-chair and chair. I knew the fed quite well there If we had need for access to the Fed window, I feel comfortable. I would have either gotten that if we had a problem or I would've raised money internationally. There's no question but it wouldn't have happened but if something did occur, we'd found a way to save it. You will find financing that you needed from sovereign wealth funds or whoever might be? No question about it

2:11:56 Do you believe this as Hank Paulson has said that if AIG had gone down There's no doubt there was taking the whole system down. I don't believe that at all yeah, no How does that work? That was the way he says it, not to play all his clips but what he says is that they made up this phony baloney scenario. Of course he couldn't do anything about it because he was the chairman of the company but wasn't running it and then they brought a guy in from Goldman and I should have clipped this. He says apparently Paulson comes

2:12:33 and says you guys are going to take this bailout, where you're gonna give us 75% of the company. You're gonna pay 14 percent interest rate and by the way you, the CEO which is a replacement for Greenberg, you are fired! and then he's brought a Goldman, because I'm not going to do this deal. And the guy says fine, he brings a Goldman guy in they did do this deal that would take over the company essentially ruin the company essentially. And then Greenberg says through the back door Goldman got like 20 billion dollars had nothing to do with this! They said give it us and it got funneled right to Goldman It just the whole thing was totally correct We kind of knew that though

2:13:10 Yeah, no we on this show. We know I'm sorry. No no we knew it yeah the rest of the world was still like oh Mac and cheese and so meanwhile he says this in a way that just confirms our suspicions that I thought with I thought ah And he would be more likely to know whether its gonna cave in the economy or not Horowitz believes It would have caved in the economy too but I'm sticking with this No, I mean yeah. I'm with you. It's a scam! That is on your tombstone right? We already established that? Like if you die before i do im putting it on there... IT'S A SCAM! I'll make sure its there they will all love it So we have some interesting vaccine news

2:14:02 Because of course, you know we've always got to stay on top of what we're going to shoot up our kids with. This came off our national treasure the NPRs. President Obama's administration has laid out guidelines today for conducting controversial medical research The federal government is considering testing the anthrax vaccine in children. What? You got any to try to prepare for a bio-terrorist attack? That vaccine is considered extremely dangerous Oh well, interesting that we've shot up a million Americans with it already. Écoutez mon frère!

2:14:39 As NPR's Rob Stein reports, a presidential commission says several steps would have to be taken before any testing and the report raises questions about whether such tests are ethical. Now I want you to listen very closely and explain to me why this guy is allowed on the radio? He is a... Have you ever spoken with someone who has like their mouth is all sticky and when they talk actually see white strands of goo Yeah, tongue and the roof of their mouth. We talked about this on the dhM. Well here's a guy that has it in the world of bioterrorism Anthrax is one of those feelings dry mouth, but he's like it's really disgusting It's not dry mouth its wet. I said that death wet white goo like mucus Mucus mouth

2:15:27 As NPR's Rob Stein reports, a presidential commission says several steps would have to be taken before any testing and the report raises questions about whether such tests are ethical. In the world of bioterrorism anthrax is one of the scariest threats it's relatively easy to make and spread over large area and Daniel Fabui says anthrax can hide for long periods in dormant sports that release potent toxins At some point it hatches. When it does hatch, it can cause invasive disease meaning like pneumonias and bacterial infection in the body that can lead to death and thats why anthrax is very deadly and something of great concern for us. Fabui is a pediatrician he chaired a federal panel that started the push to study the anthrax vaccine in kids More than 1 million adults have gotten shots but Fabui says no one knows how well it works in children Did you know this?

2:16:21 A million servicemen and women have been shot up? They just shoot these poor bastards up left and right with stuff. It's like they're guinea pigs, you join the army become a guinea pig! You can't refuse to take the shot if your targeted. So if you listen this whole report it is going to happen they are gonna test us on kids. Disgusting. Yeah typical anyway so now this report this is Diane Sawyer not drunk I'm convinced she's not drunk And we've seen this outfit before when they come out and make a big stink about some research. This is Autism Speaks, and that's not in the report but I've deduced the report back to them and Diane Sawyer has very troubling news for us. Very, very troubling news. Now we return back home to a new number confirming a worry in American families tonight

2:17:15 One in 50 school children in America has a form of autism. The government survey of parents is much higher than the previous estimate, one in 88... What? It's always going up. Everything always goes up. So what is happening? And also tonight, another small part of the puzzle does it have anything to do with parents and grandfathers ABC chief medical editor Dr Richard Besser on The Clues Do you want... so I can tell you what it is if you want to hear the report or No! Tell me what it is Oh its like If your..if you have a child and your over 30 then your grandkids

2:17:56 Not your direct kids, but the kids of your kids have a large larger percentage chance which turns out to be less than three Of having kids with autism. So so the percentage chance of autism goes up by 3% only if you're over 30 Yeah, but I'm saying the whole... so in other words if the chances are one in a million. Yes The chance will be 1.03 in a million? Yes So how's that even statistically anything Well what's more interesting to me is where did this it used to be one and 88 and now It's one and 50 estimate. I'm like what the hell! I mean this is crazy That's because it's easier to do the math

2:18:38 Ah, well he... so I went to- 88 is a son of a bitch they have in models. It's terrible. You want 50? 10, 50, 100. Boom! Done. What is this ham number? Yeah let's do 50 The number that this is from the CDC and this By the way why would it be one exactly when if you went out 1 in 49, 1 in 51 Well I'll tell you because it's bogus That's why So this autism speaks The number does not replace the official 1 in 88 estimate. Wow, could have fooled me Diane Sawyer! But it does suggest that there may be a significant underestimate of autism prevalence in the US. One in 50 or 2% is much close to what we've seen from the research. The new one and fifty estimate comes from

2:19:27 A telephone survey that asked nearly 100,000 parents across the country a range of health-related questions about children ages 6 to 17. I bet you questions like does your kid spin? Look at your child is your child spinning right now Does your child walk on his or her tippy toes? That must be autism. You're on the spectrum, child! Come try this anthrax vaccine... Very good for you

2:20:08 See, now there's a voiceover thing you could do. You could do horror stories. Oh that would be great! It's such a big market. Old time radio used to do these things and I think we should bring it back with you being an informatic voice is actually good voice you got there. So give me line, give me scenario. Well let's take an old arch obler story where people are turning inside out. With the organs hanging from their skin. All of a sudden she felt something coming up through her esophagus, it was her large intestine and as her large intestine spewed out

2:20:50 Face. It needs to be written, we have to write it down. Write a script for me already will you? If you can do that voice if you could maintain that voice I think you got something. Easy easy and now... This is money in the bank! Okay and i'll finish off with Hyla everybody Perfect. So I have a... so Mimi's all upset about, she's stumped and I decided maybe I should do more research and get at least a couple of these things that are more interesting than this one but she found NewsProNet which is one of the consolidated freelance operations that feeds bogus stories to your local news. Oh who found this? Who found this? Mimi did! Good work Mimi. She says oh you got this as a scandal. This is old. Why don't

2:21:35 Hey, by the way did you know John's kissing other women or at least talking about it? So anyway so I was a little it's amazing to me that this is their promotional video. This is the part of it anyway And it says so poorly done as a promotional video and they didn't have all these reports on You know the classic bed bugs she supposed to find me one where they say green tea is unhealthy and These are all financed by the, apparently they finance the medical people or Monsanto finances the idea and then news stations actually pay for the content. It's not a video press release these are actual stories that they provide. This is at NewsProNetVideo.com? That's the outfit we're talking about here? Yeah play this little clip Which one is it?

We never did So so I'd so I found a press release for an event that I would be kind of interested in because I can't like old trains Never heard of it and it's because all these video, all these press releases or audio press releases that came out are done by the same guy. The same announcer. Oh!

If it was me? Send that one in! I'd record that at normal speed and then run it through Audacity and do a tempo thing and wrap it out to be fast. Brought you by the Department of Health & Human Services, National Institute of Health and Natural Resources. Yeah, you're good. You've got fast voice down. It's not bad. The surfer is outstanding, by the way. Yay! Dude what?! I know we can get some beer!

2:30:21 Yeah, that is the award-winning surfer dude voice which has yet to get me one freaking gig ever. I'm telling you maybe we do these PSAs and someone will hear it go holy crap! I want that guy for my voiceover. It's possible why don't you do that same PSA but just do the whole thing in a surfers' voice? So you're at a party, just hanging out having a great time when someone goes hey I know we can get some beer. Like you not already having fun so you say no thanks to let them know your'e not interested and they go what's with you? You scared or something? So you look at all the others who aren't drinking and you go yeah scared of like being like you. The Cool Spot dot gov check it out

2:31:09 It's got potential. Alright, so I'll write up a script and we'll do some PSAs Good! This is good and yeah...we can do them. It's free advertising How do we distribute? Do we send them to somewhere or is there someplace where... There used to be you used to put them in the mail Send them to the station managers, and then they would put them in the pile And they get played or not played or read or not read generally speaking They used to be written and they were read him on the air But now because of technology you know we have obviously sent MP3s Or something and I'll have to figure out what the mechanism is and then we'll just do that Can I can I got one last clip? You got something but I'll let you have the last word here on The Chris O'Donnell Show and I'm going to give you Aaron Burnett

2:31:56 Because, you know as we've determined earlier she's on a roll and She is hired once again to roll out the IED meme. So let me tell you what happened. This story is so full of holes and it's... The FBI is pissed because it's not their six-week cycle, it's no time to have some kind of guy. They trap... This is like some local dudes and somehow they get a hold of probably THEIR guy! This is what I'm thinking is the FBI had a guy, they had him all teed up. He was going to have the new bomb which is now IED for improvised explosive device which apparently Aaron Burnett doesn't even understand what the term IED stands for you'll hear in this clip. She probably thinks it's a birth control thing

2:32:49 Alright, let's listen to the clip. Good to see you Chief I really appreciate your taking the time... Good to see ya chief because she talks with the chief all of the time obviously What can't you tell me about this man 30 years old James Oliver Sivakumaran who was he? By the way Obama I'm seeing on the news got the Israeli medal of honor partially because of Iron Dome. That's our Pulitzer Peace Prize winner right there everybody, and Pulitzer I mean our Nobel anyway onward why was he planning this attack well right now uh... you know trying to get the background investigation and find out what made him tick is all under investigation okay so it's an investigation because the fbi are pissed this was their guy turns out this will listen with his guy was we do know he was thirty years old a student whose thirty years old in adornment

2:33:41 Now this is, I mean 30 year old student? Sure you got 70 year old students. But he's on campus in a dorm room really? Seems highly unlikely. Highly unlikely. Had been a student there had been a loner. A loner! A boner. Kind of anti-social behavior. Ah okay right... Now what we were talking about the gun the backpack that the IEDs that you found The IEDs What about these notes and the notes which have absolutely no evidence or proof they actually exist Well, when our officers found him we did there was a handgun and a tactical rifle inside a backpack as we were searching the premises. We found what we would consider four IEDs What we would consider 4 IEDs? Maybe it was a book of matches

2:34:31 What we would consider IEDs, this is...I'm telling you, this guy... Old fashioned wooden matches could be considered an IED. Yes! This guy was a FBI setup and he'll hear about that in a minute He was set up Well don't..isn't it? Do we have a cycle that we've been looking at That's what i am saying They're pissed because the guy wasn't supposed to happen yet Wow, because it's off cycle. Yes! This is not the... It's every six weeks as I recall. It supposed to come up right before episode 500 You know they're like a week early The guy was not ready The IEDs were not ready That's because of the roommate Yeah its the stupid cops this is the bumbling Keystone cops messed that up So we had to have the explosive ordinance unit Come and dispose those and now we are working with FBI Now trying to find out exactly what those materials were

2:35:17 What? You don't even know what they were and yet you're calling it an IED. Oh please! So four IEDs... And they disposed of them, so there was no something Do you have any idea how he got those devices or whether he built them himself? What were you...? Okay did he build the improvised word improvised explosive device himself? Means he built it yourself right Of course that means that you idiot What's your instinct right now? We bought em eh ehh ehhh ehhhh What's your instinct right now what are you learning? Store What's your instinct? What's your instinct right now hmmm all the indications are that uh... he built them himself wow and while homebrew who while while do you have to do it in terms of motive again i'm just curious about these notes on that they found indicating that my arm bring on the notice planning an attack do you know what he intended to deal with all this

2:36:06 No, he wasn't exactly clear on what the attack was going to consist of. Yeah because FBI didn't clue us in! However he did have a timeline of how he was getting ready and preparing and then in the end yeah he would just give him hell is as uh... quote that he used I'm telling you this was the FBI script. You're probably right And so I think we are gonna miss the cycle. The cycle? no the cycles gonna be off now here's the question We're gonna have to make some notes on the calendar because if it's a six-week cycle and they're up early are they going to still schedule it from six weeks from when it was supposed to happen or six weeks from now? I think it's just go balls to the wall. They've got to get something up and out because they've got budgeting coming up, It's the quarter you know they gotta get something going so we could actually see... I'm gonna look at the calendar real quick. ...we could see a real botched operation

2:36:58 Something that is just too mature, but they're gonna roll with it because they couldn't take any credit. They're involved with this one Yeah Maybe they're gonna have to I don't know this is gonna be interesting you see how this plays out The found was a joke this thing. I mean the sky they could you know here's what could have happened You know cop the cop has walked through the hallway This guy didn't like him we just put up fucking bullet in his head and laying off okay well oh um I found these notes I found this bag, this backpack with IED's and oh there is a tactical rifle next to him. Come on people you're insulting our intelligence more than the PSA. They got up their game a little bit. Yeah they got up their game alright so that was uh... There is more to that but you can listen all of that in the show notes 497.nashownotes.com Is where we have everything all listed all the little clips and bits and bits and bobs and Chuck's and Todd's and Toot Koo Choo

2:37:54 National Service and Health. So I got a couple of Erin Burnett clips and... Really? Are we on a Burnet trip here? Apparently, we're both watching this woman as she gets weirder. Well she still has the cute face! She's very pretty although she is doing this a little too much for me So she did one of her long editorials, I didn't want to clip the whole thing because it was dumb. But she did mention this on tall buildings and how the United States is behind them way behind everybody else in tall buildings and it was interesting because you play the clip as Aaron on tall buildings

2:38:37 According to an interesting article today in the United Arab Emirate newspaper, The National. America is falling behind when it comes to tallest buildings sort of international you know who's bigger contest? Of the top ten in the world only, the Willis Tower formerly called Sears Tower made a list its number nine and just a few years there will not be any American buildings on that list at all In the next decade, six new buildings will be added. All of them in Asia and the Middle East including Saudi Arabia's Kingdom Tower set to open in 2018 It will be the tallest building in the world Wait wait 10 more seconds left on the clip Tell me there is going to be a really funny pun at the end of this? No As well as the first to pass 3,000 feet That's 564 feet taller than the current champ which is the Burj Khalifa in Dubai

2:39:28 So, uh... what got me about that besides the whole thing is she goes on with some theory about we're doomed as a culture because they're not building tall buildings. But anyway she ends it with some lame things. That's definitely- that's some coked out talk right there It was ridiculous So but the thing is Willis when did this thing when does Sears Tower become The Willis Tower and who the hell is Willis? That's what got me. I'm the what? Didn't know about the name change did you look it up Did you consult the book of knowledge gonna ask you I was like could have looked at my head No idea, I would never did you know this either. I was not aware of this well now I'm looking it up yeah, the Willis tower calm

2:40:14 Named I agree. I also heard the what is it? The CP 304? I also heard queef in Dubai That's what I heard too. Well, yeah, I did too It's like okay Aaron. Thanks So here we go Okay named a serious tower throughout its history in 2009 that's how far behind weird keeping up with building names and stadium names I'm sure. The Willis Group Holdings made the right to rename the building as part of their lease on a portion of the offices on it. Oh, was it? I'm all for this by the way! I feel that if someone comes in with a million bucks they get to rename this show It could be The Willis Agenda Show
