County Fairs and Agenda 21 Health Scare Tactics

Officials in North Carolina are investigating an E. coli outbreak linked to a county fair that resulted in one child's death and dozens of illnesses. The discussion links this event to previous health scares like the H3N2 swine flu, suggesting a coordinated effort to shut down county fairs. This is framed as an attack on classic institutions and independent meat sourcing, allegedly driven by the United Nations Agenda 21 initiative.

north carolina· e. coli· county fairs· agenda 21· swine flu· h3n2

02:27 Okay, so I have no idea what he's starting with but we appreciate it. Here is our special episode 6 1 0 clip show So annoying when they do this more ageno agenda 21 crap for you coming up troubling health news officials in North Carolina are investigating a deadly outbreak of E. Coli infection has been traced to a county fair at least 61 people including three dozen children have now become ill one child died so this County Fair thing We've been tracking this for a while. Remember it was the new swine flu, the new bird flu! I actually went back and looked at our show notes...I just did a search on Search.NAShowNotes.com And lo and behold episode 433 The New Swine Flu H3N2 Was 16 cases people picked it up at county fairs They're trying to get rid of these county fairs

03:30 Well, one of the things that almost every county fair for one thing you can buy meat on the hoof. Yeah that's gonna end So that's gonna, they hate that. They don't like you or anybody in the public actually buying an animal and then going through the system of slaughtering and then the butchering system and getting some really high quality hand raised meat for $2-$3 a pound which is what it amounts to when your done. Which is about one third the price of grass fed crap so um...so thats gotta go Yep. Well, this is how they're gonna get rid of it They just gonna make it so they already tried the swine flu bit that didn't work now This is this is how many episodes ago were at 53 since 20 episodes ago So what was that three months? Yeah like that three months ago, so that got no traction. So now say oh no the eco-co E coli yeah No, I know that's coming from County Fairs and a child died Child died It's amazing well You know what that means don't you

04:35 Oh, won't somebody please think of the children? Gotta think of the children. Child will die. Yeah, county fairs are under attack. Sure everything's... all our classic institutions except you know being a slave to some dork or under attack it's just that country is under attack culturally and I think it all relates to Agenda 21. I took my printout out. I have a print out of Agenda 21 which is pretty big It's like the size of the room. Did you eat up a printer cartridge and whole ink cartridge? You burn it cartridges into reams of paper so but if the thing is dense with this weird stuff, dense

Correspondence Dinner and Bobby Eden Photo Shoot

A personal anecdote describes a conflict between watching the White House Correspondents' Dinner on C-SPAN and attending a photo shoot with adult film star Bobby Eden. While one host was encouraged to watch the political event, he instead spent time at a hilltop watchtower where Eden was being photographed. The story concludes with the participants ending up in a hot tub while the host missed the activity to get hamburger meat.

05:19 Yeah, I'm gonna do a special feature on agenda 21 not in a long-term way but it was short term bits. I'm just gonna read sections of it every once in awhile Okay will that be after the scholastic special and you'll be right after this thing on education? Yeah actually I've been working on this clip show yeah It'll be ready when end of the year its half over. Let's have done. I haven't our intent minutes So is half the year so That's what I mean, it'll be done. So uh... and so but by what i've done is that listen to all the clips from you know this show the shows from since the beginning in a lot of stuff that we come up with over the years that we feel like sense for gotten but it still interesting right retrospect but does not a retrospective show let me tell you how crazy we are about our passion for doing this program so yesterday beautiful day here now at the hilltop watch tower

06:12 Bobby Eden is over and I'm not quite sure this must have happened when i was sick or something and I'm kind of back at like 90 95% now Mickey made some kind of like appointment that she was going to photograph bobby and and unlike you know and these are like good shots if you know what I mean And so I'm just kind of, yeah.

Syrian Cell Phone Charging Water Hack Debunked

A viral clip from PBS features a man in Syria claiming to charge cell phones using a glass of water and two Duracell batteries. The method involves soaking batteries for thirty minutes and then placing a USB adapter into the water to initiate a charge. The hosts dismiss the claim as scientifically impossible and criticize the PBS presenter for accepting the "ingenious" idea without skepticism.

syria· pbs· cell phone charging· duracell· usb· battery hack

07:55 So, how would you do that John? If you were out there and your in Syria In Hama and you've got Assad killing you! How would you charge your cell phone man? Well I mean... I would sneak downtown where there is power and plug in or i would find something with a laptop with some juice left, or get a solar panel if i could but i don't think that's too late for that. Those things suck! I've tried those... I would use my car! Check this out! Problem with batteries because our battery is running out and no electric to charge your equipment

08:34 So for phone calls we create a new way, it's actually simple way to recharge your phone. We use two...a glass of water with two batteries Duracell or something else already exist everywhere we use it keep the batteries in the water for one hour or 30 minutes then you put that USB adapters inside the water and start charging How about that huh? It is bull crap! So it sounds like he's saying buttocks. You put your buttocks in the water? Now what is he saying, I don't get you know...I can barely understand this guy sounds like he's saying buttocks constantly what is he saying? He dropped a battery and a bottle of water and the next thing you know its charged? What is he saying? Well he says is you take a glass of water you drop two Duracell batteries in there for about half an hour to an hour

09:33 And then you plug in a USB cable into your phone and put the USB that normally goes into your computer, Into the glass of water. This is bogus! There's no way this works! I was like... Really? So if this guy is saying this then he's full of bullcrap on everything else Yeah, I would think Can someone try this experiment maybe it works Why bother trying it? It's bull crap I knew you'd love it. Like really? You can do that? So he throws two batteries, take two batteries and call me in the morning He throws two batteries in a glass of water wait with it to stir Wait 30 minutes then just drop your USB cable in and it'll start charging

10:18 Unbelievable. And the guy on PBS is like, oh that's great! Great idea! The guy on PBS is an idiot! Yeah doesn't that kind of show you what else is going on? On PBS Please Wow yeah, that's the clip of the day already. No I don't know is the clip of the day. I mean you can't beat that That's the most idiotic thing I've ever heard and he got a guy from PBS lapping it up like a moron like it like a puppy oh Oh, that's all that so in that's so ingenious You're so inventive So smart so good um I did find something else interesting that I didn't know

CHAPTER 05 / 41 Discussion

Barack Obama 2004 Senate Race and Jack Ryan Scandal

The 2004 Illinois Senatorial race is reviewed, focusing on how Barack Obama secured victory following the collapse of Republican opponent Jack Ryan's campaign. The Chicago Tribune successfully sued to release Ryan's divorce records from actress Jerry Ryan, which contained allegations regarding visits to sex clubs. The discussion also notes Obama's transition from being called "Barry" to using his full name as he entered higher politics.

barack obama· jack ryan· jerry ryan· chicago tribune· illinois· 2004 election

11:00 Because you know, I'm in Illinois right? And this is Gitmo Nation Central. This is HQ run by Rahm Emanuel now! So what did Barack Obama do for you guys when he was a senator and most people didn't even know that he was the Senator and do you know how he... What happened that made him win the senatorial race? In Illinois? Yeah There was a long article about it in the New Yorker, I think it had most of the details. What? So he was running against the incumbent Jack Ryan and Jack Ryan if you google him... He's alright! You know he is a cute guy, has the whole look everything's perfect and he was ahead in all the polls this 2004 of course and Jack Ryan at that time was married to

12:03 Jerry Ryan who plays Seven of Nine on Star Trek Voyager. This is where it gets creepy because we mentioned the similarity between Obama and Tuvok. Yeah, that is funny now that you mention that point. This was all outlined in this article go on... So they're getting close during Ryan's primary run The Chicago Tribune and WLS radio or maybe TV wanted the records released of their divorce in 1999 And it turns out that this guy was taking her to sex clubs and saying, hey sit here and blow me and let everybody watch. And that ruined his entire race! It's like oh wow how does that work huh? I mean do we call that a... Coincidence? I think not! Like wow i didn't know that that's how Obama actually won Yeah I recall all of that yeah there was discussed in great detail

13:03 And there's more than just the blowjobs, by the way. There is a lot of costuming and all that Well I have the actual document and it says sex act It doesn't say what it was Yeah well thats routine But um... A couple people have been working out in health clubs in Chicago for you know their life essentially In one place where uh... The president also used to go work out His name was Barry! Everyone called him Barry Until he became senator then all of a sudden it was Barack. Yeah, no it's always Barry How come we don't call him Barry Obama? Well because he doesn't want to be called Barry Okay Because people like I don't know you tell me my theories It thinks is more of an ethnic sound and sounds more distinctive and markets so much better Yes all marketing cuz I mean Barry just not Barry yeah right

CHAPTER 06 / 41 Discussion

Congressional Resolution Linking Climate Change to Sex Work

A non-binding resolution in the U.S. Congress claims that climate change disproportionately affects women and may force them into "transactional sex" or sex work. The resolution suggests that limited socio-economic resources caused by environmental shifts put women at higher risk for HIV. The hosts characterize the logic as insane and argue that climate policy is primarily a vehicle for carbon taxation rather than environmental protection.

congress· climate change· sex work· hiv· transactional sex· resolution

14:00 Well, no there's a resolution in Congress. Now resolution is not a law but it is you know I guess to make everyone feel good so they can have a drink and say well good job Joe! Good day at the office The resolution in Congress says that climate change is forcing women into prostitution I love this one. So, uh... There's an upside to everything! Yeah where so here it is the resolution whereas women will disproportionately face harmful impacts from climate change insecure women with limited socio-economic resources may be vulnerable to situations such as sex work transactional sex which by the way is called marriage okay let me just define that for you and early marriage to put them at risk of HIV oh

14:48 You're gonna be a whore and have AIDS because of climate change. This is insane, okay? This is just insane. I love this thing! I'm glad you brought it up cause' I forgot about it. Yeah, you're gonna be a whore with AIDS thanks to global warming. Now, okay. So let's just follow the money for a moment and this is I think where this guy messes up because i think he's lying and I believe because you are much more involved at the time Because of course what it really... The way I see it The whole climate change thing, not about saving the earth. No one gives a crap about you or the earth these guys don't care it's about taking your money in the form of a tax A carbon tax and it will be for everything like oh! You talk too much you know we'll have to tax that Australia now has this so its an actual tax And from what I understand the idea is To take that money and then go help the poor black children in Africa

Acid Rain Cap-and-Trade History and Global Cooling

The history of the cap-and-trade system for sulfur dioxide, implemented under President George H.W. Bush to combat acid rain, is analyzed as a precursor to modern carbon markets. While the program was considered successful, the hosts argue that current climate initiatives are insincere versions of pollution control designed to move money around. They further claim the world is entering a period of global cooling or a "mini ice age."

george h.w. bush· acid rain· cap-and-trade· sulfur dioxide· carbon tax· global cooling

15:47 But of course we do that with our American companies. We're not going to give them the big giant check like, congratulations kids here's your check! Here is your money... No no you give it to American companies like Halliburton and Bechtel and all the big guys this is what we have war for the same reason Okay, we go and you shoot up Iraq. Why is when you go rebuild it? Hey good work everybody So here's where this guy screws up and there's actually a historical precedent We used to have a huge acid rain problem in this country. We created essentially a cap-and-trade system Is that true? We had a cap and trade system for acid rain? Yeah. Where we capped the amount of sulfur dioxide being emitted from these smokestacks, brought that cap down over years and allowed companies to sell their emission rights between each other so a company that was really good at reducing emissions could sell that remaining block to another company that needed more time

16:40 It was one of the most successful programs in American history. It was put on the table and passed by a Republican president, the first George Bush Sr., and it solved the problem or largely solved the problem at a cost far below what even the best estimates at that time were. So you're the expert here John? How is this cap-and-trade not the same cap and trade that is being discussed where i believe all the money isn't what this whole time to buy a ride now there's evidence that they've all asked for anything was a hoax no don't say and so uh... date but i remember the year

17:16 It was everything 60 minutes reports and then we would show they would show some old statue in Italy with it's just the face was dissolved like from acid rain. And the big things were all falling apart from acid rain. I gotta find that statue in Italy, face eaten off of acid rain. Like I'm sure its on Google. So let's say put the cap and trade in all these stories ended there this success of and then became systemized. I think right now because there's such resistance, 8% is a lot of people that are... apparently if i'm categorizing it to get the number up to eight percent by putting me in the dismissive category instead indicates that they're freaked so

18:05 Here's what the goal is. You get the cap and trade, you get the carbon tax, you get all that in nothing really changes and we point this out before it should be pointed out the same thing with acid rain. Cap-and-trade is an insincere version of a solution because if you think there's a problem you cap! You don't trade right? You just say, we got too much of this and too much of that. We can't do it anymore? You cap it! That's what air pollution laws did. No you're getting fined if this comes out at that smokestack. You can't trade the pollution for some other place that is not polluting. The general pollution laws don't have a cap and trade. Cap-and-trade doesn't change anything. It just creates a new system of passing money around. The idea seems to me

18:55 to get a cap and trade in place, and then you just stop talking about it. And then 10 years down the road you say man that cap-and-trade worked like a champ! The global warming is over! Yeah okay so I'll pile on with you and i'll say the reason why they need to do it now It's because we're going into a little mini ice age. We are going into a true global cooling and they need to do it now before... otherwise you can't do that, you can't claim victory in a couple of years whereas... No! You have to get this done. Yeah so we had our dinner party on Monday night

CHAPTER 08 / 41 Discussion

Double Dipper Session Slave Stew Recipe and Dinner Party

A dinner party in Austin for a group of "Obama bots" featured a dish dubbed "Double Dipper Session Slave Stew," a variation of beef bourguignon. The recipe involves searing five pounds of cheap chuck steak in a smoking hot cast iron Dutch oven before adding a bottle of wine and cooking sake. Despite using an expensive 2009 Cote d'Rhone by mistake, the meal was considered a success by the guests.

austin· beef bourguignon· dutch oven· cast iron· cote d'rhone· cooking

19:34 and uh... and i would like to reach it but a little bit about this on the show we did not much which almost a bit after the school and this is one of those rare occasions where we actually had a cut an off-topic uh... discussion after the show which i think lasted for about forty five minutes quite a record for us and we already spoken for over two and half hours shower up afterwards And mainly because I was now cooking for a total of six people and these are our friends here in Austin. We have Russell the brain scientist, we have his lovely wife Jennifer the architect, we have Lori the artist and her husband Mark the rock-and-roller who also does investments in accounting

20:20 and they're all Obama bots. The total Obama bots. And Mickey and I concluded after the evening, which it wasn't until past midnight. No it was a good evening we went we concluded that we are probably their wacky friends I gotta tell you so first of all, but I'd asked you for advice. I said what am I gonna cook six people? I don't think I can do this and you went You're so lovely you it isn't easy no problem if you're doing beef bourguignon like what

21:01 And so first of all, I did not sell this as beef bourguignon. I wrote it down exactly how you told me to do this and which is quite funny in fact i will give you just the first few lines and I named something different because they said what are we having for dinner? I said were having double dipper session slave stew Yes, you actually got it right. Which I think is a great name for this dish It is! And here's how you said it You get five pounds of meat Chuck Steaks One and half inch cubes and this is the cheapest meat you can find I'm talking cheap cheap cheap Then you get your cast iron pot You make this thing hot I mean fucking hot You're gonna put the meat in there and its just going to be like Its gonna be smoking Its outrageous You have to open the doors and windows This is nuts Its caramelizing Don't touch it That's kind of how you told me to do it

21:53 Yeah, kinda. And so I had to make an investment and... Makes a lot of smoke. The investment was- If done right! Oh yeah Well the investment was getting a Dutch oven which i didn't have So we went to Bed Bath & Beyond after you and I- Those are not true dutch ovens but go on uh... well not that they actually went to bed because you buy the one that we saw on the online you know what there were three three different kinds and the one that was online they work it was kind of um... uh... there were two other choices ones the french kind which like three hundred dollars yeah their little pricey what an analogy because they're a enameled they were all in the old maybe a different made now okay with your own you know i do i i always go with me

22:36 The one I use is real, it's American cast iron. It's the big heavy duty cast iron that needs to be cured. Yeah so um...I got the one that emerald sells I liked it, yeah. So it's six quarts and we needed... That was all purpose? Yeah. You could cook a lot of meals in that thing. Now and I'm really gonna get into this because this was a dynamite thing to do. I followed your instructions although I did something really stupid which I think may have contributed to the success of the meal Because, you know what you do it the whole secret really is just throwing in a bottle of wine and that's really the secret to it. And that's just going to although you have a secret ingredient which is the cooking sake I thought that was a very cool thing to do kind of after your second hour but I had also asked you what wine they should serve at the meal and you had said you would suggest the Cote d'Or 2009 but 2010 or 2011 would do

23:40 And so I'd found a Cote d'Uron and it was not cheap, like 17 bucks or something. It's kind of expensive for Cote d'Uron but yeah... So the mistake is that I wound up pouring that into the stew! technically a beef bourguignon of course is a variation on stew the French version that's made in Burgundy and it's technically supposed to be made with a burgundy wine and I suggested a pinot yeah and you used instead of Syrah or actually a Grenoble and whatever's into do nobody knows what's in there have to go to run so that would

24:17 move, it would shift the flavor profile substantially. But it worked! Well yeah and actually any wine will work I've cooked those things up with white wine But and what's great about this is the kitchen is clean when everyone shows up. It's just clean Yeah, everything's all the messes cleared the thing sitting there it's just bubbling along John they could not believe They're like you're here that I you're full of crap You've cooked before you've done this before said no No never first time and I gave you full credit they all know who you are Of course, I gave you full credit

CHAPTER 09 / 41 Discussion

Movie Marketing Ties to North Korean News Narratives

The film "Olympus Has Fallen" is used as an example of how major news networks promote movies through timely political narratives. Matt Lauer's interview with actor Gerard Butler is highlighted, where Lauer jokes about the movie's publicity department arranging real-world North Korean nuclear threats. The segment explores the financial connections between Millennium Pictures, producer Avi Lerner, and larger media conglomerates like Viacom.

matt lauer· gerard butler· olympus has fallen· north korea· avi lerner· millennium pictures

24:53 For coaching ya. No, I said it's...I said no right down to buying the Dutch oven today so I was honest about it but I didn't say it was beef bourguignon just that it was double dip recession slave stew Yeah thats good Hey! I need to make good my friend Oh yeah? Yeah cause' I felt so bad about that Matt Lauer thing with Gerard Butler and the movie connection with North Korea. I felt like really, really bad. Why? Because you got Lauer fired? No... no no no Well we have long since established for those of you who are new to the program this is kind of a good way to ease into it will show you kind how he think and how the world actually works in the world news

25:41 We have long established that most news reports, certainly on the big networks are pretty much always to promote a movie. Because that's where all... That's just a coincidence we keep running into I don't know if it is just a coincidence It's uh.. I think not! That's where all the fun seems to be at the movies You got the hot actresses politicians like to hang out with them There is always new surrounding movies And this seems to be no secret in movie land and in television land, in news land. In fact Robert Redford was on the Good Morning America with George Stephanopoulos who of course is a political operative for the Democrats and obviously worked in the Clinton White House

26:27 And at ABC, coincidentally. And the news director of ABC is married to one of Obama's top advisors not Valerie Jarrett but up there in the high echelons And so Robert Redford is promoting his movie and this is just to ease you into what I'm about to explain with North Korea. My wife and I watched the movie over the weekend, completely engrossing...and it seems to me at least that you packed a lot of your passions into a single movie. Political commitment, love and family life, journalism. I was just wondering where did the spark come from on this one?

27:05 Well, first of all that's a great description you ought to get on the marketing team. When I was younger... You ought to get on the marketing team! No no he is ON the marketing team Now in this case, there's no real tie-in. Usually there is a tie-in particularly with ABC and Disney movies but in this case I think that's why Robert Redford said you ought to get on the marketing team because he needs somebody because he knows it's an independently financed movie It's Sony International Pictures or whatever which is very independent But still you could see CBS time but its not there now

27:40 Back to the Matt Lauer and Gerard Butler who was a producer on this movie Olympus has fallen is that what it is Olympus Olympus has fallen and And and the premise of this movie is the North Koreans are terrorists and somehow they've come down from Transmogrify And so I had caught this clip, but I'd forgotten to play it. And then John brought up the topic and I was like oh, I couldn't find the clip and then chat room found it for me So I have to kind of regroup because we didn't actually play the entire clip and then I want to put a couple things together for you. Once again, the movie is Olympus Has Fallen

28:28 and this is Matt Lauer on the NBC but of course what is interesting is what you're about to hear in the tie-ins with politics and the movie business. So let's listen to it one more time. All right, Butler welcome back good to see you. Good to see ya. You got clout let me tell you why you have cloud all right? This movie is about not giving anything away here The North Koreans are the terrorists here. They take over the White House and they capture the president, and you have arranged just as your promoting this movie to have the North Koreans make all kinds of strange gestures towards the United States threatening nuclear war! How did you do that? Well it wasn't so much me we have a very powerful publicity department... Alright, so this was very funny And by the way The movie is on Millennium Pictures

29:17 Millennium Pictures is run by a very interesting guy, the producer is Avi Lerner. He was kind of like a, he was the film distributor in Israel and he wound up basically becoming the go-to guy for all big action movies. And so this is one of those action movies and his initial financing came from Blockbuster as part of the Viacom family So most of his movie are financed directly or indirectly by Viacom

CHAPTER 10 / 41 Discussion

Dennis Rodman, Vice Media, and Viacom Interests

Dennis Rodman's visit to North Korea is scrutinized as a corporate-sponsored event involving Vice Media and the Harlem Globetrotters. Research is presented claiming that Viacom has held a quiet investment in Vice since 2007, funding their expensive international productions. The hosts suggest the trip was a coordinated effort by media interests, potentially involving Disney, to scout opportunities in the isolated nation.

29:53 Now let's hear the rest of this little interview. Okay, so that of course is a joke but is it really? Because Dennis Rodman was in North Korea and here's where the interesting research comes from What was he doing in North Korea who was he working for Okay, well I know one thing which was that his his lead Let's face it the North Koreans don't know who Dennis Rodman is but they do know who the Harlem Globetrotters are. Well yes Yes So he got in but it looked like it was just him But then we discovered the globetrotters there because I guess

30:41 You know, I'm sure they put on a show there. It must have been fascinating So the Globetrotters which is owned by majority stake owned by Disney? I agree with you! I think that was set up by Disney and Disney is thinking about opening Disneyland North Korea However Rodman was there for working for Vice and Vice used to be kind of like an independent magazine but I got some research Do you know who owns vice the who owns vice Adam Viacom? well since when they bought this was a deal that was done I think in 2007 and there's completely under the radar and invite and Viacom has been so they they essentially made two investments one was VBS TV, which is Vice and

31:33 And along with Flux, remember the Flux Network? That was supposed to be like their answer to MySpace after they didn't get that deal. So you don't remember because of course it was stupid and Flux went nowhere, but that's when quietly they invested in the magazine and built this entire Vice television outfit. And I've always wondered where these guys getting the money from? Yeah you mentioned that before because its like their doing a lot of stuff that looks expensive Yeah, and they've got budget. And so then when Gerard Butler says this... You say some ridiculous things and then we call Dennis Rodman. And you got him involved? Do us a favor. You're pulling in all the strings aren't ya! It's not a joke it's true! It's obvious its the same fricking company Well I know Sumner Redstone is one character He's a slick dude I mean I don't even think he's... I met him

32:32 Yeah? He is, uh... he's a character. Let's put it that way but he has this very- he just seems like this tough guy and curiously where do you think I met him in South Korea. Really? He was setting it up back then! That guy is good I didn't think about it until now Speaking of which, so you have to look at this idea... are you looking at Chemonix? It's a commercial company, not a non-profit This is what crazy. It is a for profit company chemonix dot com

Diana DeGette High-Capacity Magazine Clip Comments

Congresswoman Diana DeGette is criticized for comments made regarding a ban on high-capacity magazine clips. During a public forum, she appeared to suggest that once the bullets in a magazine are fired, the magazine itself is "shot" and no longer available, implying they cannot be reloaded. The hosts mock her lack of basic knowledge regarding firearms and ammunition.

diana degette· gun control· magazine clips· ammunition· colorado· congress

33:16 Actually started by a Dutch guy which and they just got a new CEO Susie Mudge Yeah, I'm looking at I think Susie Mudge has a LinkedIn profile there for some Susie might looked at her obviously. I didn't find she didn't have a wiki page No, no she's not very interesting She's been in the organization for 20 years so she screwed her way to the top Yeah well it took her a long time for a long time. And for good reason! So what are you gonna do? I don't know... What about Susie, she looks like she's good for rolling the hay. Ohhhh, I dunno.... Come onnnn..... How can it hurt?! Hello! Misogynist no agenda for ya everybody. Happy to be here once again. Anyway, to wind up the war on crazy here is the craziest person of all Congresswoman Diana DeGette

34:14 And this is a great piece of video where she's talking about banning the magazine clips, as she calls them. High capacity magazine clips But her reasoning behind it is rather strange and I want you to listen with me, John. Just very briefly to your last question was the efficacy of banning these magazine clips? I will tell you these are ammunition they're bullets so the people who have those now they're going to shoot them and if you ban in the future

34:50 the number of these high-capacity magazines is going to decrease dramatically over time because the bullets will have been shot and there won't be any more available. Oh, what an idiot! This is unbelievable. What a clown. This is like that woman who was on the Chamber of Commerce we had a clip of a couple years ago and said well I would think that the laws in Arizona really shouldn't be as harsh as they are because it's not a border state It's like these people are this is a moron. Who is this woman? What's her name Congresswoman Diana de Gette D e g et d e ge t and she believes that these clips like they're not Rechargeable or something you can't like put more bullets in there You buy them packed with bullets kind of like a candy bar And you use it when you shoot him then you got to make is it now you have to throw it away You throw it away

CHAPTER 12 / 41 Discussion

Wachovia Bank Drug Money Laundering and Credit Crunch

An investigation into Wachovia Bank, now owned by Wells Fargo, reveals the laundering of $378 billion for Mexican drug cartels through Casas de Cambio. The discussion posits that the 2007 global credit crunch was triggered when Wachovia was forced to cut ties with these entities, removing a massive source of liquid drug money from the banking system. The bank eventually paid a $110 million fine, which the hosts describe as a fraction of their profits.

wachovia· wells fargo· mexico· drug cartels· money laundering· 2007 credit crunch

35:47 This is a more although. She doesn't she looks like an idiot No offense lady, but you don't look that right Maybe she can work for and this is not work that I've done But I figured out play a little bit of just the pertinent piece of this clip And this is max kaiser who? I think we both like in general yes He has some funny stuff, but actually it's not Max It's his his researcher what's her name Shelley Shelby Something or other and I'll just relent well. She she does I mean, I could have just explained it but it's cool how she does it? She of course we talked about the 378 billion dollars that Wachovia Bank laundered from Mexican drug cartels

36:36 uh... and of course what covey a bank is now wells fargo and she connects two dots here which are absolutely astounding and worth listening to a big u s bank laundered billions from mexico's murderous drug gangs so this is the guardian news and they've uh... done a deep investigation into the story that we've covered before which is what covid a bag and they were found to have laundered three hundred seventy eight billion dollars or 30 percent of Mexico's GDP in this time, of drug money. The cocaine? Of cocaine yes 378 billion dollars. 370 billion dollars laundered through Wachovia which now is owned by Warren Buffet's company Berkshire Hathaway and he has never talked about that either and it is a huge part of the Mexican GDP

37:27 and the bank paid a fine. Well, it's $378 billion in money laundering through the Casas de Cambio and they paid a hundred and ten million dollar fine or less than two percent of one year's profit. I got interrupted, the Casas de Cambio i think it is not just where you go change your money? The casas de cambios is not just like if the exchange place we going to take your dollars in turn them into pesos are vice versa well I think that's what it is will you look at all while we continue because this is really good profits from Wachovia wachovia is now owned by Wells Fargo Warren Buffett owns 6.5% But from this article there's a very interesting point that I want to note, that relates to this whole financial catastrophe. First of all, Wachovia started really getting involved in these Casas de Cambio in 2004 just when the violence really started getting extreme and the Mexican drug wars

38:23 In April and May of 2007, three years later, Wachovia as a result of increasing interest and pressure from the U.S Attorney General's office began to close its relationship with some of the Casas de Cambio And then in July of 2007, all of Wachovia's remaining 10 Mexican Casa de Cambio clients operating through London suddenly stopped. July 2007! What happened in August of 2007? The world credit crunched! So there you go... So they go on to further extrapolate that once the Mexican drug cartel said, you know what? Screw it. We're not going to launder our money through you anymore That was the only liquid assets that were coming into the banks

39:10 And then right after that, Wachovia and all these other banks started borrowing money from the Federal Reserve because there was no money. It's all drug money! The whole thing is drug money! Everything! Legalized drugs? Yes... No! Because then the whole thing melts down you can't legalize it. It has already melted down Now that is melted down, legalized drugs don't want to deal with this anymore. No because of them... Okay Alright And then you and I will stop doing this show and go into growing. So while we're on that, let me tell you a little bit about your Department of Terrorism, Department of Homeland Security as I continue to follow the sexual harassment lawsuit Two affidavits have come out John which i'd like to share with you Oh good This is way unsafe for the children

CHAPTER 13 / 41 Discussion

DHS Sexual Harassment Lawsuit and Suzanne Barr Affidavits

Sworn affidavits from a sexual harassment lawsuit against Department of Homeland Security official Suzanne Barr detail lewd behavior and professional misconduct. The documents allege Barr made inappropriate comments to male employees and sent graphic messages via a colleague's Blackberry during a trip to Colombia. The hosts question why mainstream media outlets have largely ignored the graphic details of the case.

dhs· suzanne barr· janet napolitano· ice· sexual harassment· colombia

39:57 So two affidavits, I named blacked out being over the age of 18 make the following statement under penalty of perjury. I have no personal relationship blah blah blah this is against Suzanne Barr. Suzanne Barr who was purportedly Lucy Napolitano's girlfriend who was brought in and sexually with with the other douche knucklehead sexually harass men at the Department of Homeland Security On the last workday before... By the way, she wasn't qualified for that job to start with. Go on! On the last work day before Halloween 2009 my duties required me to go to the director's office where several employees were discussing personal Halloween plans I joined the conversation Suzanne Barr was also present for part of the conversation at some point during the conversation i witnessed Suzanne Barr turn to the senior ICE employee Tay Johnson and state you a sexy motherfucker

40:48 Then she looked at his crotch and asked, how long is it anyway? Several employees laughed nervously. Shortly thereafter several employees returned to work duties myself included and several continued the Halloween conversation Now let's go to affidavit B This one's even better. And this is sworn testimony from people who are saying it's rampant in this Department of Homeland Security, the people who are trying to scare you into submission I'm over the age of 18, blah blah make the following statement under penalty of perjury I work for Immigration and Customs Enforcement at Columbia Area 2009 During late 2009 ICE Director Morton and others including Suzanne Barr and Ray Palmer visited Columbia

41:29 During Columbia bear in mind during this visit Suzanne Barr and Ray Palmer were both at a party at the house of the deputy chief Of mission of the US Embassy in Colombia At which I was also present and as you can imagine John it says here during this party bar and Parmer were both drinking heavily Palmer obtained the Blackberry of Peter Vincent another ice employee and used it to send lewd messages to Barr I viewed at least one message, which stated from Palmer posing as Vincent to Barr. You ready for the quote? Go! I want to eat the corn out of your shit. During this party Suzanne Barr approached me and offered to give me a blowjob This is what's going on in your government people... To arms I say!! Isn't that stunning isn't that just stunning Yeah why is this not covered at all by NBC CBS Because you can't say New York Times You can't say eat the corn out of your poop

42:26 You could? You could say, Pussy Riot. We just need to have a band! Hey everybody it's the Corn Horneaters here. It's the corn eaters... The corn poop eaters This is disgusting and again people that listen to our show they have to ask the question why are you hearing it on our show Why do you have to get this news from a podcast? Yeah why do you think I get this news from a podcast I mean it's a great, is the best podcast in the universe but still... It shouldn't be the one source of this sort of information. This woman that came on... Free Pussy Riot! Free Pussy Riot! This woman that came on is...

CHAPTER 14 / 41 Discussion

Lesbian Bed Death and Androgel Usage

A discussion on "lesbian bed death" explores a sociological theory that committed female same-sex couples experience a rapid decline in sexual intimacy. The hosts claim that some individuals use Androgel, a testosterone supplement, to combat this phenomenon, which can lead to side effects like increased aggression and facial hair. They read from medical warnings regarding the application of the gel to the skin.

lesbian bed death· androgel· testosterone· schwartz and blumstein· health· side effects

43:08 not only a gay lesbian, but she is... She has this new thing that a lot of them do. They take a lot of androgel and then they grow mustaches. She had a full mustache. Wait a minute wait a minute what do you take for that? You take androgel because there's a phenomenon in the gay community and it's in Wikipedia It's called lesbian bed death Oh my god, John. What have you been doing with your time? Lesbian bed death... I got a lecture about this. Lesbian bed death seems to happen to gay female couples after they're two or three months in bed together and they lose all interest in sex completely really quickly. And it's called lesbian bed death

43:46 and to fight it, one of the two couples takes testosterone which has also been in the news baseball players. And when you take testosterone you grow a mustache and normally women always have a little bit of testosterone but if you take androgel which is a pump that you put on your out... You just pump it on yourself and rub it in then goes through your skin When you take that with any large amount of dosage, you grow the mustache and become very aggressive sexually. First of all I want it to be known that after this program i'm going to call my lesbians and get a full first hand download on the lesbian bed death. I have never heard of this.

44:29 And according to the study that Schwartz and Blumstein did, they concluded that lesbian couples in committed relationships have less sex than any other type of couple heterosexual married heterosexual cohabitating or gay male and generally experience less sexual intimacy. The longer the relationship lasts after the question quote about how often during the last year if you and your partner had sex relations Very interesting. So then they take the androgel Wow, this is Is that covered by health care? Is that part of the female healthcare decision might well be The connection at the beginning of the show the female health the women's healthcare decisions we can't make those I don't think I can even grow a mustache if I try

45:17 My goodness. It's a mandarin. So that rekindles... I'm sorry, there is a lot of this not being covered and people are easily distracted by the free pussy riot meme as you are but there is more to it. I am not distracted! I have completely deconstructed it. I just love Aaron Burnett saying pussy thats all. Yeah well its definitely entertaining But anyway, so there's something going on here and you're right. Putin has nothing to do with this. Nothing at all! He would kill them in a second. This guy doesn't care about them. So you take the Androgel and grow a mustache and become very aggressive sexually? That rekindles the lovemaking? As long as one of two partners is cranked up on Androgel I think it's great

46:06 Wow. Juice stuff, this is the juice man! This stuff is the future. And... That's testosterone So what if I take it? Will I become really... It would be great for you What do you mean?! What's wrong with me!? There's nothing wrong with me! Shut up and take your endergel slave How should this medicine be used It comes as a gel to apply to the skin. Oh, so you apply it right here upper lip and that's... I'll put it here upper lip? Well says it right here! No it doesn't say that. Androgel comes in a gel applied to the skin Yeah not the upper lip Where do you apply it? Specific parts of the body that absorb through this in the chemical you need You can apply androgel anywhere on your shoulders, upper arms or abdomen between your chest and waist

46:58 Be careful not to get testosterone gel in your eyes. Thanks for the advice! I just grew hair in my eyes!!! If you do get testosterone gel in your eyes, wash them right away with warm clean water. Call a doctor if your eyes become irritated or if you grow hair Wow... Well this is fascinating stuff I'm gonna put this in the show notes. Lesbian bed death. Wow! Lesbian bed death? I'm putting that right under the Pussy Putin thing and Androgel This is uh... wow John, you've trumped me This is very good stuff But I am going to talk to my lesbians because they'll know about this for sure Oh yeah, they'll say oh yeah, what's your problem? Haven't you seen me shaving bitch?! Shut up!! Wow

Hillary Clinton and the European Union Nobel Peace Prize

Hillary Clinton is shown praising the European Union's Nobel Peace Prize as a validation of a "unified and peaceful Europe." This statement is contrasted with footage of violent general strikes and firebombings in Athens, Greece. The hosts argue that Clinton's rhetoric is designed for an American audience that is shielded from the reality of European civil unrest.

hillary clinton· european union· nobel peace prize· athens· greece· riots

47:44 Never heard of that before no well Hillary does so they all do yeah, oh I'm glad you brought up Hillary This is very very cool. So clipity-clop actually should get her jingle out hold on a second It wasn't a good clippety by the way They've moved the carpet in in her room there so now when the doors open She's almost on the carpet immediately so he can barely get a clippedy-clop out of her Oops sorry I didn't want to play that one. I wanted to play Clippity-clop. The message is clear. Clippity-clop! Okay, so here's Hillary with the Italian foreign minister doing one of her little clippity-clop stand ups. Our very strong commitment to making a difference in the world and beyond and on that point let me congratulate the European Union on its Nobel Peace Prize

48:46 Certainly, it's quite remarkable to see how unified and peaceful Europe is. Oh well let's switch over to the BBC. I want to talk about the general strike in Athens where it has kind of kicked off if you will. You can see... oh there's a firebomb as well! We've seen some tear gas being dropped of course what is this? What is it? The second, third general... Oh there you go! Yes this is our peaceful Europe there Hillary thanks. This is fantastic Congratulations on your peace prize Bus drivers air traffic controllers and of course There's nothing but explosions and fire bombs going off in Athens It's not just Athens

49:29 Now, but this Athens is good. happen by coincidence. It happened because of the very hard work and dedication of leaders and citizens across Europe, so for us it's a great validation as well. What planet are you on? Horrible woman!

50:08 Well, if you haven't noticed they don't show any of this crap going on to the American audiences. So she's just playing to the American audience and this was a mistake I mean This was supposed to be like a nice little morning chat show where they're just showing a top-shot camera Of the police and all sudden you see these Molotov cocktails flying through and then literally surprised like oh That's a firebomb. Oh well my goodness Well What should we do? So the point that I'm trying to make here, which is that... That is a distraction to what actually was a key point that people missed. Buzzkill Jr caught it immediately and then when I heard it, as soon as he said it, I thought, oh geez yes! And that's this comment here which came just before The Libya clip, Obama means what he says

CHAPTER 16 / 41 Discussion

Barack Obama National Security Rhetoric and Chuck Hagel Noises

President Barack Obama's statement that he "means what he says" regarding national security is analyzed for its implication that he may not be truthful about other topics. Additionally, a clip of Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel features a strange, high-pitched squeaking sound during a hearing. The hosts debate whether the sound was a biological anomaly or an audio glitch from the C-SPAN feed.

barack obama· chuck hagel· national security· c-span· rhetoric

50:59 Okie dokie, hold on. People... not everybody agrees with some of the decisions I've made but when it comes to our national security i mean what i say Which implies that he doesn't mean what he says about anything else Hey hey hey Buzzkill Jr! That's right It's only that one Yeah everything else Yeah, when you go out and say I mean what i say about this. It has all kinds of implications and nobody caught that except me. That's like when someone says, oh do you want me to tell you the truth? I usually say no please continue to bullshit me like you've been doing for the past 20 years of my life. And you hear that all the time right? I'm going to tell you the truth now. Honestly and when someone says that honestly and I can't help but say no please give me the dishonest version like everything else you've been telling me don't give me honesty now i don't like your honesty. That is exactly what it was

52:01 Yeah, good catch by Buzzkill Jr. Good catch! Oh I do have this one clip we should play though just out of curiosity He makes this weird noise every once in a while and i have a good clip of it And he does that more than a few times in the speech But listen to Chuck Hagel make the sound I'll hear about this...I'm sure at hearing next week but... I think its relevant to your question Were you producing again? No, I swear to God. I did nothing to sweeten that clip! That comes out of his pie hole?! Yes. Let me hear about this...

52:44 I think it's... No! That sounds like Homer Simpson in his head. No, and this happens more than once? Yeah just not as loud as this one. No no wait a minute. He thinks it is squeaking sound. That's not a squeaking sound that's a whole other human being inside of him. Let me hear one more time that sounds so produced John and I believe you. Wait let me stop stop you right now I'm telling you the truth. No, I trust you and believe you! I have no reason to doubt you You've never steered me wrong If you went back and picked this off C-Span you'd get it off of there yourself I'll hear about this...I'm sure at a hearing next week but... I think it's relevant to your question He's got a donkey up there It's weird isn't it? Wow Here is another screwy thing So uh

CHAPTER 17 / 41 Discussion

The View Introduces Israeli Ambassador with Game Show Fanfare

The daytime talk show "The View" is mocked for its upbeat, game-show style introduction of the Israeli Ambassador. The hosts point out the absurdity of a cheering studio audience welcoming a diplomat to discuss the threat of World War III and Iranian aggression. They compare the segment's tone to their own "Win, Lose, or Drone" parody.

the view· israel· ambassador· world war 3· television· talk show

53:36 You know, you're familiar with the show The View. Yeah I don't watch it No you don't have to watch it because its terrible but they've decided to kind of up the ante a little bit Uh huh With better guests So they brought in one of the some guy for the guy from Israel I guess and and play the this is this is what they use for The teaser to open the show with a crowd going wild who's there was the guy from Israel? Who's hi it wasn't Netanyahu. Was that some other guy? I love it. Hey everybody, we could be dying! World War 3 might start at any moment! We've got Iran pointed right at Israel! Please welcome the Ambassador! Fantastic

54:31 That is like the Dvorak-Curry consulting company took over. That is exactly, you know... It's pretty much win lose or drone without the jingle. For those of you who have never heard it, it goes like this... Win! Lose! Or Drone! That's right we welcome to The View, the guy who about to get up his butt My friend, your a loser on... Win! Lose! Or Drone! Here he comes! Woohoo! Something like that. Yeah, perfect! That's good well there you go the someone is listening to the show and of course it's another one bites when we're in an Airbnb right now as we know that's our new thing why ever stay in a hotel ever again?

CHAPTER 18 / 41 Discussion

Airbnb Credibility Markets and Internet Regulation

The rise of "credibility market exchanges" like Airbnb and Uber is discussed as the future of the global economy. These platforms rely on peer-to-peer review systems, similar to the model pioneered by eBay, to establish trust between strangers. However, the hosts predict that government regulation and hotel industry lobbying will eventually stifle these decentralized business models.

airbnb· uber· yelp· ebay· credibility markets· regulation

55:19 uh... which is really going to outlaw airbnb i think that the opposite of what's going on but now i think they already did it in new york city only a shortly and then the government may okay let's step back for second here's the future of our world um... and we see we're seeing this with uber and written or obviously were seen with air bnb you can see more of this view from the world's economy is going to run on I'd call them credibility market exchanges or something like that. So with Airbnb, very much like Yelp only Yelp got pretty compromised but you can still follow some people on Yelp. But if you take Airbnb and look at the reviews and decide if you want to stay in this place

56:05 Negotiate the price, which is kind of cool. But you also have a lot of power so there are couple things that weren't right here and we called up and said hey man do you want to shitty review from us or are you going to knock something off the price? Are you gonna take care of a couple things right now because you do have some power because these guys don't want a bad review. Conversely Airbnb has their own database of me and I'm in it And there are, you know anyone who's renting out their place can go and look up me and see if I got a bad review from somebody else saying well this guy trashed the place or... So this is really interesting. That's what Uber does as well with drivers and passengers. Airbnb may go away but because it has business obviously it's competing with hotels and tax revenue

56:50 But I think as we move forward and people start to realize that all these companies, there's no real good way to make money on the internet other than providing internet access. But regulation will kill these types of businesses. There will be tons of databases where you have this credibility and you can trade stuff and buy things from people directly I think we're going to see a lot of that. You know, you have to give credit where credit is due This actually began with eBay Totally! Absolutely where it started eBay came up with the idea that you can buy direct from one person and then they would review each other. You could say, this buyer never sent me the money or this guy's a scammer or this piece of crap he showed one picture and sent us something else... And that sort of thing. Even Craigslist doesn't do that. I mean, you can post something in the commentaries of Craigslist but nobody reads it. Actually, I would go a little bit beyond eBay and I would give the porn industry

CHAPTER 19 / 41 Discussion

Porn Industry Innovation and the VHS vs. Beta War

The historical battle between VHS and Betamax formats is revisited, challenging the common belief that the porn industry decided the winner. One host argues that the ability to record full sports games, which required longer tape durations, was the actual catalyst for VHS's dominance. The discussion also mentions obscure competitors like the Sanyo V-Cord and the Philips System 2000.

porn industry· vhs· betamax· sony· sanyo v-cord· sports recording

57:53 I would give them props because the porn industry is always a little bit ahead of the curve and i think escort reviews came before eBay. Escort reviews are one way. No, well... I never heard of customer reviews old Adam Curry came over the other day and tried to bang me and he couldn't get it up! That's not true Okay but okay all right I'll take that I just think that alright Well, everybody wants to do this by the way. This is one of my major pet peeves for the last 25 years Oh The porn industry's way ahead of everybody else they got everything wasn't for the porn industry There'd be no VHS and Sony Betamax Which is bullcrap? The thing that made those systems work was sports recording That's why vhs won over beta because it could record a whole football game in Beta couldn't

58:53 Oh, is this true? I've never heard this. This is a very interesting take. Yeah, and so that mean that's the only reason of the difference there was a quality difference with bait in favor of beta right but it could only record two hours and VHS always at the get-go started recording with four and then went to six and Beta just felt because why would I want this one? I can get this And so they and it was you know and there was also more competition It was kind of like the iPad versus the Android don't forget. There was also the Philips system 2000 Oh, don't hit the Magnavox. And my all-time favorite was... Those were good! My favorite one was a guy who's still I went to him but this is that era when they had all these competitors and this guy takes me aside he said and they had even Technicolor had a little eight millimeter job that was kind of ahead of its time mm-hmm but this guy takes me so I says no I don't get this stuff he says it's she's this is the this here's the future this Sanyo V chord

59:51 Where was this guy? Where was this shot? One of these Pacific stereos or one of these things. Yeah, Senyo V-Cort. Technology's better it's easier to make everybody go into it. Everybody! You know what I'll take that but I think...I've never heard this theory about the sports games and length of recording. I've also always heard it was the porn industry and I'm with you on that, I stand corrected. But it's so rampant... It is horribly rampant This is the main problem And I think the way its really done Is they would like the North Korean news agency You might as well just say Langley Hello! I am reporting from Langley The North Korean News Agency here Because that how works They will place articles in foreign papers

CHAPTER 20 / 41 Discussion

Intelligence Agencies and Mainstream Media Manipulation

The segment explores how intelligence agencies allegedly place stories in foreign news outlets to have them "blow back" into the American media as established facts. Citing the book "Family of Secrets," the hosts argue that mainstream media is co-opted and no longer credible. They position their podcast as a logical alternative that mines available information to find inconsistencies in official narratives.

langley· cia· north korean news agency· family of secrets· mainstream media

1:00:47 foreign news reports and then that trickles back as fact, and it's picked up by the idiots. This is what people always say... That's impossible! That conspiracy can't be true People would talk about it They would be known not everyone can keep their mouth shut. People do talk about it. If anyone could get off their butts and read Family of Secrets Read a book they would go oh in fact there are a lot of books that discuss this the people that don't discuss it are the mainstream daily news media. And those are the ones that have been co-opted in one way, shape or form every you know and there's plenty of documentation for this if anyone doesn't believe this is a sort of weird conspiracy its not but the thing thats interesting is its actually has gotten to the point where all the news

1:01:39 It's not credible anymore. Nothing is credible You can't believe anything except it will us and we don't really have all the info We had no staff we were only well, we're doing is mining what we see and then sometimes all we do is just add logic Yeah, it's like does this logically make any sense to anybody? How hard is that to do that logic I liked that a lot of people I know listen to this show because they're They're in intelligence and they listen to the show. That's true, but the public at large is logical or they would actually be dead you have to be logical if there is a red light traffic flying around you don't illogically run into traffic I mean just everyone is logical so when they see these news stories they themselves go geez that doesn't make sense but maybe it's true because its in The New York Times then when they hear us oh I thought it was bull crap too

Gwen Ifill and Claire McCaskill Campaign Strategy

PBS journalist Gwen Ifill is criticized for a report on Missouri politician Todd Akin and his controversial comments on "legitimate rape." The hosts argue that Ifill failed to mention that Senator Claire McCaskill, Akin's opponent, was strategically encouraging Akin to stay in the race because he was an easier candidate to defeat. This omission is cited as evidence of bias in public broadcasting.

gwen ifill· pbs· todd akin· claire mccaskill· missouri· 2012 election

1:02:35 Before I start naming our people for today's show, I want to play a clip which is Gwen Ifill. Again who... this is PBS This is where people send lots of money to you They have lots of sponsors they got underwriters and all this I just want to play what I consider a corrupt report by Gwen Ifill when she discusses that idiot that we talked about earlier in the show Aiken and his rape legitimate illegitimate rape thing. And because there's a point of information here that is purposely left out, and you have to remember that Gwen is the one... She seems like a very sweet woman by the way and good reporter but she's the one who wrote the hate geography. But she's not! That's the problem.

1:03:22 She wrote the hate geography of Obama and she's a huge Obama supporter, and this is the kind of report we get from her. Impregnated by rape apologized but said he would not be forced from the campaign The resulting uproar has pleased Democrats and enraged Republicans including other lawmakers and fundraisers Incumbent Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill, a Democrat has said Republicans should accept Aiken's apology. I think what is startling to me is that these party bigwigs are coming down on him and saying that he needs to kick sand in the face of the Republican primary voters But party leaders including Missouri Senator Roy Blunt and former Senators Kit

1:04:08 Bond, John Ashcroft, John Danforth and Jim Talent all called for Aiken to step aside. So what are they missing? Hey how about mentioning that the Claire McCaskill clip that went on and on and on about how they should forgive this guy let him do his own thing she's the guy running against him! Minor detail A minor detail, she's the one who said yeah let's run this idiot. Hey why don't you guys leave him alone? I'd like to see...I'd like to be running against him That's never mentioned and she's an objective observer making this kind of bull crap This is the most slanted thing i've seen on this news hour for a long time And it was so subtle It was really disgusting

CHAPTER 23 / 41 Discussion

Bilderberg Group Meeting and Alex Jones BBC Appearance

The annual Bilderberg Group meeting in Watford is described as a "drinking club" for global elites, attended by various protesters and analysts. The hosts criticize Alex Jones for his erratic behavior during a BBC interview, arguing that his outbursts discredit legitimate questioning of globalist agendas. They suggest Jones's performance makes it easier for the establishment to dismiss alternative media as "nut jobs."

bilderberg group· watford· alex jones· bbc· conspiracy theories· fema camps

1:07:33 You know, so I ordered the... remember we got that gift card for the mac and cheese like 12 pack? So I ordered that. And the other day our old neighbor comes by in the morning because she said, Oh Mickey! I got your package and Mickey had ordered like some makeup thing that you can't get anywhere. She's really excited. And then Jen drops by and they have coffee and they're yapping away. It was 9 in the morning. I'm sitting in the corner prepping as usual. Like I get up and see what was going on with the world. What's up C-SPAN I'm my usual chipper self and then you know me cuz oh, I can't wait he opens up the box And it's a freaking mac and cheese Yeah Hey, I was mr. Unfavorited No unfriended not good So the Bilderberg group that would you call John the drinking club is going on over there in Watford? What for'd I believe is where Elton John is from I think it's kind of this invited

1:08:34 I think he's performing in the foyer actually. And you know every single year, we've looked at this...I met a couple Bilderbergers The current Minister of Foreign Affairs for the Secretary of State is what you'd call him in the Netherlands He's the guy that I interviewed once on the Dutch radio show where they burned the station to the ground and he said You're doing very important work here. You gotta continue this. He was trying to give me like a clue like yeah We're really up to no good But this Bilderberg, you know it's like oh the last time was oh they're there and Romney is the man. The new world order has determined that Romney is going to win? Well how'd that work out so now I'm much more on the drinking club front

1:09:20 But this year, there must be 3,000 people out there. And it's funny because you can see now whether some of them are... I'm sure some people doing it intentionally. You know, there was an actual guy in a clown suit. The clown makeup on running around this you know There's people ventriloquist talking the whole thing so it makes it look like a bunch of nut jobs True true freakin nut jobs who really some people have very good analysis? There's some really intelligent people there You know we we look at we try to give you an alternative version of what's happening in the world

1:10:01 But what discredits us time and time again, Alex Jones is an a-hole. He goes out there and he does this stuff on mainstream television which makes it that much harder for anyone to question any type of True conspiracy which are the stories the mainstream and then the minority? Mainstream media propagates when you do things like this on the BBC and by the way There's no reason for him to go on the BBC. He says he's got three million listeners 40 million people watch his videos there's no reason for him to go on the BBC on a Sunday because he just always I mean just listen how this ended it was

1:10:43 unbelievable how he is hurting, hurting the alternative media's chances at reaching anybody because the minute you bring up anything now people think that this is who you are. And that's why because the establishment doesn't know what to do against his people. Alex has this point and it's an important one I would have, say ten years ago said listen to all this stuff he believes that people put cancer virus in vaccine in order to create a eugenics program. That's what he believes. We talk about medical discoveries... And we would've said and i would've said hey that kind of mad an so on it is interesting psychological phenomenon. Like the speedy blackmail cellulose? The problem is conspiracy theories like this are believed Hey listen! Im here to warn people you keep telling me shut up This isn't a game

1:11:29 okay our government the u s is building fema camps we have an india a where they disappear people now you have this arrest for public safety life in prison you are the worst as not entering so i would say that we're all their heads disappear if anything to do with it and all of us on how much time and while watching the same here we haven't even got around today dot com I'll be looking at you the week ahead with our political panel. Until then, The Sunday Politics of Across the UK!

Matthew Lesko and the Honorable Mention Clip

A brief comparison is made between Alex Jones and Matthew Lesko, the "riddler" famous for infomercials about getting free money from the government. The hosts debate whether a specific clip qualifies for "Clip of the Day," with Dvorak ultimately awarding it an honorable mention while still feeling stung by a previous comparison to Glenn Beck.

matthew lesko· free money· glenn beck· clip of the day· government grants

1:12:17 So I think this really, I think it's unnecessary. Before you go can you just interrupt for a second? Because i want to hear what you say but this reminds me of that guy that has the question marks all over his suit remember that guy? The Riddler? He sold a book how he could get all this money from the government guy yeah he had all these question marks over his suit. I had an agent, i won't mention his name because it's ridiculous who said you know what you ought to do? I know we can get a bestseller out of this because you got the same kind... You know that guy forgot his name you should do something like that! This is like this is like what Alex Jones is doing it's just uh he's just a clown. What yeah complete complete clown here's the guy

1:13:05 Hold on, what's his name? I got him on the Googles. Free money Matthew Lesko Yeah, Lesko You know you could pull it off actually if you put on the suit and bow tie The bow tie that really tops it So what were you thinking when you heard this by the way No no no I can't take it I cant take it What was that? You cant take a clip of the day No, I can't take it. I cannot accept it. Why? No, I can't! That's a good clip. I don't think its that great. Okay. Thank you very much, I appreciate it. I'll hold it in abeyance, you got second place. Honorable mention. After your comparison to Glenn Beck, thats still kind of smarts a little bit

CHAPTER 25 / 41 Discussion

South American Leaders Denounce CIA Interference

Leaders from Bolivia, Venezuela, and Argentina issued coordinated statements threatening to close U.S. embassies and expelling the DEA. The rhetoric focuses on alleged CIA infiltration and the "hostage" situation involving the Bolivian President's plane in Europe. The hosts suggest that Vladimir Putin is orchestrating these diplomatic tensions to undermine U.S. influence in South America.

bolivia· venezuela· argentina· cia· edward snowden· evo morales

1:13:52 Let me let me give you a little more extra or let me give the the producers of the show a little more extra data So we had this Bolivian Incident and and this was essentially to set up to rile up all of South America. Let me play This is about a minute-and-a-half We have Bolivia Venezuela Argentina, by the way, the Venezuelan president what he's got it like like a Devo safety dance hat on. This is very interesting outfit he's wearing and these are them speaking and translations, it's little compilation of what they're saying about the president and the United States of America. If necessary we will close the US embassy in Bolivia

1:14:42 We do not need the US Embassy. We don't need this pretext of cooperation and diplomatic relations when they come to conspire from within and from outside The U.S. Ambassador to Bolivia is gone The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration is gone Surely, the CIA is infiltrated all over the place And now we go to Venezuela? My hand would not tremble to shut down the U.S. Embassy We have dignity, we have sovereignty. Without America we are better off politically and democratically." That was still Bolivia now it's Venezuela. The ones who gave the order to the authorities in these countries and said Jung Snowden was on a plane with CIA According to what has happened in Europe the CIA is more powerful than governments So he's in charge of Europe

1:15:42 the European governments and their people, or the CIA. You president of Bolivia were held hostage for 13 hours and now they're trying to explain all this saying it was due to technical problems or fuel problems Okay, so that was the three South American countries in a row and very interesting how they're talking about the CIA being infiltrated How America is shit? You know and by the way to the chat room. You're absolutely right Devo did not do safety dance there was men without hats And because that's the only thing you care about I'm logging off of the chat room cuz your idiots United States The only fact they can pick up on

1:16:27 So, I mean...I just logged out. How stupid are you? It was me with that hat! So there's clearly, and this is all Russian based. Putin is sitting there laughing at this because... Oh no, Putin's having the time of his life. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if Putin's group didn't make themselves look like the CIA pulling this off. Ah! Well let me tell you what happened so the Bolivian president had just had a meeting in Moscow he's flying back from Moscow where they have a five billion dollar deal with Gazprom which is Putin They know what side of the bread is buttered

CHAPTER 26 / 41 Discussion

Bolivian Presidential Plane Forced Landing Analysis

The forced landing of Bolivian President Evo Morales's plane (Fox Alpha Bravo 001) in Austria is analyzed using air traffic control transcripts. Despite claims of being denied airspace due to Edward Snowden, the pilot cited a "precautionary" fuel indication problem. The hosts characterize this as "pilot humor" or a tactical lie used to make an unscheduled stop, suggesting the entire incident was a staged ruse.

evo morales· austria· flight fab001· fuel gauge· pilot humor· russia

1:17:04 and this whole like all they were they were for you know they were not allowed to cross there were forced to land well here is the uh... and if you look on the map date day um... they tried to land in portugal uh... for fueling at portugal of faro airport i believe could not take them for technical reasons which is highly possible that he had to divert but if you look at the map it encircle around a go to austria This is the tail number, Fox Alpha Bravo 001. And I'm going to let you in on a little bit of pilot humor here as you listen to this force landing in Austria! Control, good evening, Fox Alpha Bravo 001. Fox Alpha Bravo 001, good evening. Information WISKEY, expect ILS runway 16.

1:17:50 Okay, so that's the tower saying good evening. How you doing information whiskey? Which this is that's the the current weather and atmospheric conditions expect this runway how are you doing? Do you need any assistance So this is the Austrian flight controller saying, hey do you guys need any assistance when you land? You know because we know that your presidential plan. Do you need anything? Anything we can do ice cream, twizzlers or anything we can get for ya? We cannot get a correct indication of the fuel indication so

1:18:33 As a precaution, we need to land. Okay now let me tell you a little bit of pilot humor so what he said is no no we don't need assistance We need to land because we cannot get a correct indication of our fuel level therefore we need to land as a precautionary measure This is a 47 million dollar jet which this is not like your fuel gauge in your car And it's not just one fuel gauge, there are multiple fuel gauges, fuel pressure and flow. This is very rare in fact there are two things pilots use when they want to make an unscheduled landing because this was an unscheduled landing probably because Putin said alright here is what we're going to do first I'm gonna say that Anna Chapman wants to marry Snowden that will piss everybody off then I want you guys to pretend like your being forced down

1:19:29 But he's not. He is requested to land and the two things, if you need to make an unscheduled stop or some change that is not a part of your flight plan the 2 things you use are 1, oh man there's something wrong with the fuel we don't know because... he didn't declare an emergency you see Declaring an emergency is a whole different level. He said, no as a precautionary measure we might have something wrong with the fuel We want to land The other one which he used in smaller aircraft and every pilot will know this you say yeah we have passenger who's sick In other words when you got someone puking in your cockpit And you want to land You just want to get them out because it smells of puke and you wanna stop They're both usually lies Because you just want to convert to a different flight plan, you want to land somewhere. You were too lazy to file etc... So this does not jive with they were not allowed to enter airspace They did it made an unscheduled stop and it was their request And it was a lie that brought him down

1:20:25 But this whole thing, South America is... I think what Putin is doing saying okay you want to surround everything here? You want all your rockets. You want to put everything here. You wanted in Syria. You got your stuff in Poland. You got all of North Africa How about get South America! All I'm waiting for now was for Mexico To start saying something to us that we have to put the red book Mexico next Mexico Mexico next This is Cold War And I think, did you hear Bolivia Venezuela and Argentina? It's like all of South America is an uproar. Well i think the Russians pretty much have deals with all of those countries No it's becoming quite funny

1:21:09 To us. Now what was the point or do you think that this was bogative where they came in and searched the plane for supposedly for Snowden but they were playing for something? Maybe they just continued with the ruse and had look if they really had a fuel indicator problem then it can take quite awhile to get someone out who knows this Trident jet, and knows how to look at the fuel indicator, you kind of have to keep the ruse going whatever But they asked if they needed assistance. This is not a forced landing, this is not like someone checking...this is all-all a lie! None of it is true. None of it. That's why we are the best podcast in the universe! By the way I want to thank um who was it our producer who was very very kind? The only one by the way as far as I know. Um oops I'm going the wrong way here uh Tyler

Comdex Chili Cook-off and People's Choice Awards

John C. Dvorak recounts his experience winning the People's Choice Award at a Comdex chili cook-off in Las Vegas. To secure the win against a rival from Texas, Dvorak hired professional showgirls to solicit votes from attendees. The story is used as a metaphor for modern voting systems and the potential use of "bots" or "girls" to influence podcast award rankings.

comdex· chili cook-off· las vegas· showgirls· ancho chili· voting

1:22:04 who sent us, he had just heard the show and sent us a flurry of emails. He said oh man I got this PowerShell script and figured it out we can use it to vote 4,000 times like it was like two hours left for voting Really have to get the hold of Tyler about a month before next year's show yeah set up about 25 of these things Just bomb we have no chance John. We have we are we have no I think if we had if we have enough people that will set up the script and run it overnight I won't feel good about that. I'm not gonna. I don't care

1:22:44 Let me tell you how I feel about it. Okay, please! Here's my story... So we had there was a used to be the at Comdex you said this famous chili cook-off and the initial chili cook off yeah Yeah, the first chili cook off I won They had professional judges and my chili was a one because this chili was not standard, it was better tasting chili is the reason of one. And the professional judges recognized it for what it wasn't very good and I do have a recipe that I distribute out put in the next newsletter

1:23:23 So the Chile guys, the competitors mostly one guy from Texas who is also a columnist was pissed about this. He demanded that they have the judging Have a People's Choice Award because he believed that people were over at his booth telling him what a great chili He made and says he was Texas. You know, what? Chili wasn't I won from California judges Of course were stupid and didn't know what they were talking about Yeah so the next year they had the professional judges and they had the People's Choice Awards And everybody who got into the event They had three coins and they could go around tasting chili and drop a coin to the buckets

1:24:03 So I hired two models that were showgirls to control... Wait a minute, back up for second. So you're in Vegas and like, I'm going to win this Do then go to a Vegas theater or do you go to strip club? Where did find the girls? Modeling agencies You called them modeling agency? Yeah So I hired two gorgeous six-foot showgirls and had them in show girl regalia. They were pretty, but also had them... And the joke of it of course at the very end... Well anyway so I have to girls at the booth and they were...and also greeting when people came in. She said oh you should vote for Dvorak! You should throw all your coins into Dvorak's pot

1:24:50 And so they just, you know sweet-talk people into voting for my chili for People's Choice Award. Right! Which of course I won and I had the two girls arm in arm escort me up the steps to accept the award. I am googling now is there any evidence of this? Are there any pictures of you and showgirls? There are lot of people talking it was a little buzz it was about but tell you this The guy from Texas and other people who even know what I'm talking about The guy from Texas was just livid. It was his idea, I wouldn't have won that year! That's the joke, the chilies they had changed the judging a little bit and i realized when i tasted all the chilies that had won by their professional judges

1:25:33 amp up the ancho flavor because apparently whoever these judges were they just love the flavor of ancho which is a certain chili that has a very distinct taste. But I won the People's Choice Award so that's how i feel about these things okay well then I have an idea instead of getting all these scripts running next time why don't we just hire two girls And we'll have them, you know we'll set up a sequence where for every vote every time you vote and you have to send us your proof of voting and you can go back every single day or for every 1,000 votes whatever it is they will take off a piece of clothing and post the picture.

Producer Credits and the Birth of Wednesday Kane

The hosts discuss the value of No Agenda producer credits, noting that they are legitimate titles that can be used on resumes and IMDB. They also announce the birth of "Wednesday Kane," a new addition to the "Gitmo Nation" community born to producer Ramsey Cain. The child was born on a Saturday but named Wednesday, which the hosts find amusing.

1:26:15 Hey, that compared to bots that idea is not gonna get the job done. I like it! I don't know... We'll do both! A double shit will come in from both sides. We're coming with the bots or we're coming with the girls? Can't lose. We're coming with the bots, we're coming with the girls and we are going to rock it Real credits is what we give away on this program, so associate executive producer and executive producer you can put it on your IMDB in your email signature on your resume and unlike the fake phonies in Hollywood will actually vouch for you if someone wants to know if you were actually were a producer on a real show. And I think that uh... disqualifies as one All of the other slaves out there please go propagate it Our formula is this We go out, we hit people in the mouth Say with me now SLAVES

1:27:15 And I did want to say a big in the morning to brand new human resource in Gitmo Nation. Her name is Wednesday Kane, born at 7 o'clock last night just in time for Sunday's show. She's a month early but she couldn't wait to get out there and hit people in the mouth She was born on Saturday, named Wednesday. Yeah! I know, i love it It's awesome Why are we named Wednesday? I don't know My parents were hippies So let's play with Joe. Canada is having a big, we lost a couple of Canadian listeners over the last few days. Really?

Iceland Referendum and Gordon Brown Terrorist Label

Icelandic citizens voted in a referendum to reject paying back international banksters following the collapse of their banking system. The hosts recall how former UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown used anti-terrorism laws to freeze Icelandic assets during the crisis. They praise the Icelandic people for refusing austerity measures imposed by the Netherlands and the United Kingdom.

iceland· gordon brown· terrorism laws· icelandbanki· referendum· debt

1:28:10 I ran out of characters, sorry. But what do we suck? So I clicked on him and found he's a Canadian guy so then I immediately banned him This is the policy John When people say you suck you just block them is that what you did? Oh yeah because I don't use Twitter for that kind of thing I use my email You blocked them there too! You block everything and everybody Yeah I don't need it I already know I suck So it's redundant. You will obey you will obey you will obey Hey big up to get my nation that what's Iceland? What is the give my nation volcano?

1:28:48 That's what it is. Glacier, how about glacier? No the BS filter has a volcano. So big up to the people of Gitmo Nation Volcano who yesterday had a referendum vote now if you'll recall they had the whole country melted down because Icelandbankski Something like that had lent all this head had the savings accounts for citizens of Gitmo Nation East United Kingdom and get my give my nation lowlands which of course was a total scam and People have these internet savings accounts with really high interest. Yeah, like you know hello If it's too good to be true It sounds too good to be true probably is so the bank fell apart in

1:29:31 And then what the international banksters said is, well listen slaves there in Iceland you're going to have to pay it back. You'll just have to have austerity measures and all kinds of things...you'll have to pay it back! We don't think so And so then they brought in some new shills of the government and everyone's too afraid to sign off on it because they know if anyone in government would say, all right let the human resources work for 30 years to pay back that we get killed. So there were two chicken shit to do it excuse the language. So they held a referendum and big ups to the human resources there. They voted no like now we're not going to pay that back screw you! Now of course everyone is freaking out

1:30:16 So because the governments of the Netherlands and the United Kingdom already paid back The money to the people who invested which yeah, this is like I don't understand This is like getting you know To me this is like those scams that took place some years back during the modem era where you would call up a website cuz it's away You did it directly and they would be a scam and it would redirect a call to Romania. Which is a per minute call $100 a minute. You get a huge bill for thirty thousand dollars and then the phone company says hey there's nothing we can do about it international tariffs, it's an agreement we can't do anything about it so you're basically they're all part-and-parcel of a scam to take your money yeah and it's like you know when this bull crap

1:31:01 Yes, the whole thing was illegal. It's unconscionable that they would still try to... Well let's see if we can jerk them around some more I'm glad they did that. Just say no! You will recall when this thing first came down what was the first thing that Gitmo Nation East Gordon Brown at the time what did he say? Remember as i recall He said they were terrorists Don't you remember that? He called them... Yeah, yeah. He said they're terrorists and therefore they have to be locked out of everything You can't do trade with them I'm invoking the terrorism law That's the first thing he did! He called Iceland a terrorist state That was his way of kicking their ass temporarily This is the problem we have with this whole terrorism crap It's terrorism Squirrel! Terrorism

Choking the Puffin and Iceland Cuisine

A discussion about Iceland leads to the topic of local cuisine, specifically the consumption of puffins. The hosts joke about the phrase "choking the puffin" as a new euphemism for the show. They describe the puffin as the "pigeon of Iceland" and express mock horror at the idea of eating the colorful birds.

iceland· puffin· puffin burgers· bird· terminology· humor

1:31:53 Yeah, so it could just by the way there Eric DeShill suggests that I think this is a good name which would be Gitmo Nation Puffin. Puffin? Yeah but if you go to Iceland and have you ever been there but all they eat is puffing they have puffy burgers and they have roast puff in and then there's puffins steaks and alright let's have a referendum shall we Fried puffin what is puffing?

Hey John! After the show...I'm gonna go choke the puffin'. Yeah, go choke the puffin' on your own time. That's it, get Monation and choke the puffin'! Change the BS filter we have a new name But this whole thing is kind of interesting but it reminds me when I used to be a factory worker during my college days and I realize at this point and I think this is true even though I believe the two of us are clean and sober to say the least

Factory Work, Amphetamines, and Productivity

A host shares a story from his college days working at an International Harvester plant, where he struggled to meet production quotas for brake sub-assemblies. He later discovered that many of his coworkers were using amphetamines, or "bennies," to maintain high productivity levels. This leads to a broader discussion about performance-enhancing drugs in the American workforce and the argument for drug legalization.

1:33:18 generally. I was working this international harvester for a while and I worked one whole summer, and I could never keep up with the demands of the simple job... there's a sub-assembly that i was responsible for making and I had to make this thing. As in submarine or a? No, sub-assembly side this was part of the brake system and it was like a little there was a device that had a couple of hoses on it they had to put a thing here anything you have to drill out this you know put a cap on it about eight nine step process and I had to make these things all day right that's when I that's the point at which I learned that if you want to work in factories in United States and I always advise this two people are factories anywhere learn

1:34:03 Or an inspector. And the inspector is the best job there is and it doesn't take much, that's a good job anyway. Were you high? No I wasn't high! Turns out later there was a big drug bust in both the General Motors plant and also at the International Harvester place where these guys were strung out on amphetamines that's the only and because I was never I could never keep up with it with the quota the guy was always being trained away behind you're thousands of units are not done yeah that's why you gotta take the coke so these guys were all those memphetamines beans and so these guys what did you call them beans Benzene green beans man Benny so they used apparently these guys are down in these things all day there were just completely wasted on drugs and they could get this they could get

1:34:52 the production numbers up. And I think that this is, if we look at it they always... The United States is laced with cocaine and all kinds of other performance enhancing drugs because there's so many demands on the workers that's why our productivity so high but at the same time let's face reality about this stuff. If this is the way it is legalize drugs for God sake! All right done? Right cool now should try some of them Why? I've never done coke in my life, ever. Yeah well yeah i would avoid it if you with your personality might be fine would have boy haven't done he haven't done coke we that's the only thing about but I think in college I snorted a diet pill but it is very troubling

CHAPTER 32 / 41 Discussion

French Riots and American Passivity

Violent riots in Amiens, France, are discussed in the context of public dissatisfaction with President François Hollande. The hosts contrast French revolutionary culture with American passivity, noting that Americans did not riot when President Obama failed to close Guantanamo Bay. They reflect on past American unrest, such as the Watts and Detroit riots, and how modern propaganda has pacified the domestic population.

france· amiens· riots· francois hollande· barack obama· vietnam war

1:35:39 This is going on and I think we're gonna see more and more of this. This is all just a lot of stuff going on all around the place, I mean one of the things uh Riots everywhere that were night that are not getting reported in fact when they're getting reported by their own people have a clip from van cat about which is just so bogus because they give me there's riots all over France and the reasons are pretty obvious to everybody who just, all you have to do is ask people why they're rioting. We play this French riot thing because this is not another unreported situation in the US Well we played a clip I think two weeks ago when this all started They pulled drivers from their cars and stole vehicles and they burned down school and youth center Dozens of young men rioted in a troubled district in northern France this week

1:36:31 The police department in Amiens says at least 16 officers were injured after rioters lobbed stones at them. About 100 young men were involved, it wasn't clear what exactly caused the unrest French Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault has promised to deal with troublemakers with a firm hand It was it was a troubled neighborhood. You mean where the immigrants know what caused the disturbance no? I have no idea French reaction to Oland Yeah, being full of crap if it were if the American mentality wasn't so passive and we were like the French This would have happened within the first year of Obama's administration when he didn't close Gitmo And he didn't immediately end the war and all the other things He promised take that to the bank

1:37:17 and then doing nothing, and then going off and killing Americans without due process. We'd be rioting but we don't do that. The French riot at the drop of a hat when somebody lies to them like Hollande did! That's all it is. And oh, we don't know what's causing this unrest! So how long do you think this will last before it happens here? Do you think we'll ever get any unrest here in the United States of Gitmo? We had a lot of this in years leading up to the 1970 economic downturn that lasted a decade

1:37:53 And a lot of it was triggered by the Vietnam War, because people were... you know you had a draft and so people were bitching about that. Then there was the Watts riots which is amazingly huge and the Detroit riots but these are black on black riots those were then you have student riots there's lots of writing used to take place in use today all been deconstructed by the government locked down and has been methodologies put in place that prove that have pacified the whole country celebrity worship and all the rest of his very complex Very well done. There is no chance there'll be something, it will break out once in a while but then the propaganda machine will come out like they've done with these vets they're picking up and get everybody...a bug in everyone's mind to think of certain way oh these are terrible people and you know they're anti-american, they're terrorists We got the whole thing set up so that we can't do a thing or lock down And terrorism thing as part of this, so does TSA

CHAPTER 33 / 41 Discussion

Professor Pennebaker and Political Performatives

The concept of "performatives" in political speech is explored, based on the research of Professor James Pennebaker. These are phrases like "let me be clear" or "let me say this about that" which serve as linguistic fillers that signal the speaker is about to deviate from the truth. Examples are provided from Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper and the presidential oath of office.

james pennebaker· performatives· stephen harper· john f. kennedy· linguistics

1:38:48 I do need to bring you some more reports from this dinner because there were some other interesting things we discussed, particularly with Professor Pennebaker. Who it was... You know, I kind of eased into it and let him know that I had read his book and I said, you know, this performance that was really quite fantastic! And he's just launched into what he told everyone because no one knew what I was talking about except Mickey And then so he explains performatives, and for those of you who don't know it's where typically a politician will say things like let me be clear. And then whatever he says after that doesn't matter because he already told the truth because he just wanted to be clear didn't want to tell you the truth

1:39:29 He was just... My favorite one, I was thinking about this the other day and I realized that Kennedy's had a distinct one that caught on for awhile and then it kind of dropped off. And Ted Kennedy used to say it but John Kennedy used to say all the time And it was this, let me say this about that. That's the best one right? I think that is the best one because... Let me say this about that yeah! That is good one. Let me say this about that but what you are going to say next could be anything Well here is an example from Steven Harper of The Canadias And the Prime Minister is also defending his actions following new revelations in the Senate expenses scandal. Here's what he had to say when asked about the payment between his former Chief of Staff Nigel Wright and Conservative Senator Mike Duffy

1:40:14 First of all, let me be very clear on this. I've been clear repeatedly. It's a double whammy! I've been clear repeatedly. Let me be clear about this. I learned of this on May the 15th... He doesn't stop it's all performative. As soon as I learned of this I made this information available to public and people in Canada So that's basically what it is And then at late...I forget who it was one of our producers said The presidential oath is essentially the biggest performative Because it says, I here do by solemnly swear that to the best of my ability like okay thanks good night go home doesn't matter what you say after that. Pennebaker thought he was going to shit himself He's like oh my god i never thought about one so now im on the inside right now like hey this is good tell me some more and he's a so we want to get into his research which hasn't been published yet

CHAPTER 34 / 41 Discussion

Gender Analysis in Presidential Writing and Speech

Professor Pennebaker's computer analysis of pronouns and word counts suggests that Barack Obama's speech patterns trend more "female" compared to the "macho male" style of previous presidents. The discussion extends to literature and film, noting that Quentin Tarantino's female characters are linguistically written as males. The hosts debate the accuracy of using software to distinguish gender in professional writing.

james pennebaker· barack obama· quentin tarantino· linguistics· pronouns· gender

1:41:05 And he has computer programs and he does a lot with pronouns. So, he has computer programs that calculate the use of certain words but it's the words like I am we are that there they these types of things And he has several proven theorems that he can point to. The first thing he told me about was, and you can also see if a writer was male or female and he's done some very interesting studies to see how good playwrights were at writing male or female characters etc

1:41:44 and just to give an example, all of the female characters in Quentin Tarantino movies are extremely written as extreme males. So are those of Shakespeare. And he has studied all the American presidents and he said about Barack Obama, he said it's unbelievable that every single American president is 100% macho male. Barack Obama could not be more female. He says it's like a woman is writing his stuff I said, Valerie Jarrett? He didn't get it. But he says the way the president talks speaks is all very soft a little wishy-washy but he's doing it with scientific you know with word counts and yeah there are a lot of... There's actually a bunch of computer programs that attempt to do this and you can run

1:42:36 I've run professional writers, a copy through bunch of these systems and you can find...you can't always spot a female writer but you can see them trending to female. Most professional writers are all trained similarly so the femaleness comes from a professional. Professionals have a professional style that they develop from training and editing and they tend to be kind of mostly if not all male even if they're women. But normal people that just write away, just writing naturally I think it's easier with them. I think is harder with professionals. Well of course a professional can write a woman's character the way a woman thinks you know? That would be the hallmark of a great writer.

1:43:24 I don't think that's the hallmark of a great writer being able to become a woman. No, but okay you're right... I'm not even sure many great writers have ever accomplished what you just said Well he has done this exact study and... Okay well what great writers have done it? I don't have that information handy but if you look at it doesn't I would say that it may be challenging to write like a woman if you don't know what you're doing, To actually write from a female perspective and for it come out in the computer analysis as a woman. But sometimes it may not be necessary ergo Quentin Tarantino's characters his female characters are all extremely male and his movies seem to do fine So... It is just the point that you can distinguish between men and women in their writing in general Is that fair?

1:44:16 I'd say it's partially true. If you want to make the argument, I'm not going to argue against it but... It is what his research shows and he's probably coming up with that but I don't know if he's studying just professionals No no no! Not at all In fact far from it and the reason why he does this The ultimate reason is to see that if you he's all about writing certain things if you had traumatic experiences and you can actually heal yourself so his This is all just side research which by the way, it's now going to being this is very interesting because after these guys All got consulting gigs. It's very interesting So being looks like the search engine is gonna be looking at some some fun things Now the way things are written but of course You know

CHAPTER 35 / 41 Discussion

Twitter Bots and the Web Ecology Project

A social bot named "James M. Titus" successfully engaged hundreds of Twitter users in conversation as part of a contest by the Web Ecology Project. The hosts link the project's director, Tim Wong, to Berkeley, which they characterize as a training ground for CIA operatives. They argue that many social media personalities are actually software programs or managed "sock puppet" accounts.

twitter· bots· james m. titus· web ecology project· berkeley· cia

1:45:02 These guys are vibing on Twitter and all these incredible data sets that we have. And what he's done is, if you go and look at the pronouns particularly the use of I words that every single president has used before warfare in speeches, etc. You can see that right before they are about to attack or do something their use of I goes down significantly. He said George W., with Iraq, Sr., with the first Gulf War Nixon... he's gone back and studied that And I said, well how about Obama? He says no we haven't really done that research. So we have to... I bet she's going to find a little contrariness there because if you remember when they got Bin Laden it was eye-eye-eye he is very eye oriented or and this is where I'm going It didn't actually happen

1:46:02 No intention, it's all... It's not- Yeah! That's actually a good one too. Yeah that's the way I see it Um so there was this is well let me see if I can first let me do second half of the show stuff because people are requesting it and they feel that I'm lacking a little bit Are you gonna talk? Wait wait let me can I get kick making wild guess You can try. Did you talk about the aliens that are on the bodyguards of Obama? No, no... That was pretty funny he was a shapeshifter Yeah, shapeshifter yeah Now that was couple weeks ago Nah And we know he's got shape shifters What am I going to do sit here and pound this? Michelle is a shapeshifter What? Michelle Obama

1:46:38 Possibly, possibly. No I mean we know that they're shape-shifters we know that they employ them this is not new. You were gonna do? This is so funny to you just approve my point the Twitter yeah hey Andy Carvin hello and at an a carven Pay attention to this dude. Earlier this year, 500 or so Twitterers received tweets from someone with the handle at James M Titus who posed one of several generic questions How long do you want to live too? For example Or Do you have any pets

1:47:17 At James Amtitis was cheerful and enthusiastic, kind of like those people who comment on the weather and then laugh heartily. Perhaps because of that good nature or perhaps because of his inquiring spirit and interest in others, at James Amtitis was able to strike up a fair number of continuing conversations Only thing is, there is no James M. Titus He or it Is a bot A software program designed to engage actual humans in social networks He grew out of contest Okay so this is a bot Right which I think alot of these things are

1:47:55 And if they're not bots, then they are systems that are controlled by one person who controls multiple personalities. Yeah that's the best way to do it. Where did you think this bot was created John? Probably Washington DC someplace. No no no no no. It is a social bot contest staged by a group of techies calling themselves the Web Ecology Project Tim Wong is the director of the Web Ecology Project. He joins us from Berkeley, California. I said Berkeley! You did? I didn't hear you say that. Of course it's Spook Central. It's Berkeley, it's Pennsylvania and it's Arlington this is where its all coming from. People who are new listeners to the show we've determined based on the Ling-Ling thing and the woman was captured outside

CHAPTER 36 / 41 Discussion

High-Speed Rail Debate and Andy Kuntz Fail

Andy Kuntz, CEO of the U.S. High Speed Rail Association, is criticized for a disastrous interview on Fox Business with Stuart Varney. Varney challenged Kuntz on the astronomical costs and decades-long timelines required for rail projects in the U.S. The hosts mock Kuntz for his inability to defend the project's economics and for posting the "fail" on his own organization's website.

high-speed rail· andy kuntz· stuart varney· fox business· berkshire hathaway· infrastructure

1:48:46 Iran, Berkeley has become some sort of a training ground especially the school of journalism for various CIA operatives. Let me now I have something that'll just be so much fun to listen to as you know i'm always out there looking for what's going on in the world of choo-choo trains all aboard trains good planes bad Now So, you know I subscribe to the RSS feed of the US High Speed Rail Association who have their own little website. Now this is of course the shill organization that is trying to steal all this money and do all this crazy crap for trains we don't need which will only benefit Berkshire Hathaway and other people who actually Bill Gates apparently owns a large chunk of the railroad as well

1:49:41 some, I don't know which freight outfit he owns. CX, CTX, CNSF? CSX maybe? CSX may have it So they've got this clip homepage and Andy Kuntz who looks exactly the way his name sounds Andy Kuntz is on Fox Business I think, or the Varney show. Is that Fox Business? Maybe Stuart Varney. And so they have this listed as Andy Coons promoting high-speed rail and like okay this will be a puff piece but it's the biggest fail in the world

1:50:19 And I can't believe that these guys are so brazen to actually put this on their website like it's a good score for high-speed rail because, I have to say this Stuart Varney guy who is a Brit totally nails the guy and it's just one hilarious moment after another. You can hear the entire elitist agenda from the get go. Here's where I'm coming from You cannot build a high-speed rail system in the United States. It will take you decades, if not half century and that delay adds to the cost making it wildly over expensive and you say

1:50:56 Well, it took us 40 years to build our interstate highway system. It's a big infrastructure project. It's the 21st century we need to do it and get going on it. What? We just needed to do it! Shut up! We got to get going on it this is how he starts off I'm like this will be interesting. Can't believe they keep up with that. The fact that this high-speed rail Listen to Varney, because he basically has all of our talking points. No he's very good, he has all of our talking points So you agree with me that you can't build it within a period of decades literally I presume you also agree with him that the longer the delay The greater the expense and therefore we cannot afford it

1:51:39 We have to build it. I mean, I don't know what else we're gonna have for a transportation in 20 years from now What do you mean? This is this is already a done deal we have to build the building I got the president I got Oh Biden. I gotta George W Obama everyone's on board. What are you talking about? We have to build it. What's your problem Varney? What's wrong with the highway what I'm sorry, system of... what's wrong with that? They're dependent on oil that is spiraling out of control and price. So your position depends entirely on the ever rising cost of fuel which we you say we cannot afford but we can afford to build a wildly expensive high-speed rail system it will take decades to put in place so this guy is actually saying its because of the spiraling costs of oil that we have to build trains which apparently run

1:52:30 Water magic. Yeah, total magnetic magic or something like that Really? It's actually would cost the entire national system would cost about one quarter of what we spent on the interstate highway system So it's actually not wildly expensive It's a big infrastructure project covering 17 thousand miles Of course is going to be expensive anything we do that size is gonna be expensive Okay Do I have to pay for it There was a proposal to put a high-speed rail system in place in Florida. The government of Florida said, no we're not going to do it because we can't afford for it and we don't want to pay for it and you say?

1:53:07 Well, if we want a system we have to pay for. We have to pay for airports and roads... I mean, we're paying for all that! And this is how we are going to move the nation into the 21st century? Can you believe that this is the guy who's the CEO?! Is this the best they can do!? I know!! They even have it on their website like its genius!!! I could do a better job! In your sleep with one eyebrow tied behind your back This is crazy! Of course we have to pay for it. Is there no cost which is too expensive? I don't see that it's too expensive. When you figure out the amount of mobility you get per dollar spent, it is a much greater bargain than roads or airports combined. Wait a minute! How many billions of dollars was it going to be at first estimate to go from Tampa St Pete to Orlando? The first estimate and the final estimate was about 2.9 billion. So now it gets very interesting because Varney starts to trap him

CHAPTER 37 / 41 Discussion

Florida High-Speed Rail and Chinese Debt

The proposed high-speed rail line between Tampa and Orlando is used as a case study for infrastructure delays and environmental hurdles. The discussion also touches on China's $291 billion debt incurred from its own rail expansion, which some professors compare to a subprime crash. The hosts argue that the U.S. cannot afford such projects while simultaneously funding foreign wars.

florida· tampa· orlando· china· debt· high-speed rail

1:54:07 And the guy actually falls right into the trap which really explains why this high-speed rail will never get built in our lifetime and it'll be too expensive if they really continue down this road. He does a good job of trapping the guy 2.9 billion dollars for just that relatively short stretch, right? But we've spent four times that much on I4 or the interstate between those...that little short stretch Yeah but its' in place! We got it Well we spent the money How do you know? Well we spent the money, we gotta spend the money, we gotta spend the money How long would it take to build Tampa St. Pete to Orlando? A decade? Probably about two or three years

1:54:44 No, you cannot be serious sir. You can't absolutely you can't lawyer in Florida will jump on this and say not across my land You haven't compensated me enough. It's so here's where he traps it all about not anyone's land its down the interstate That was the easiest system because there was the interstate of the highway I for is and you're going to interrupt some lizard or some tortoise Or some bird that flies overhead It's already a transportation corridor, so that was an easy setup. That was the easiest one in America See what an idiot the guy is? He's actually tilting his hand by saying well this is why we started off with the easy ones because we can show some wins within two years and the rest will take 100 year to build because everyone's going like try and stop it I think Varney's genius in this Really did a good job

1:55:32 Yeah, Barney's pretty good. I've seen him a couple times They're grooming him to perhaps get a Fox News show Oh really? He's in Fox Business and they bring him over once in awhile You know they got him and Napolitano, they're kind of queued up because they got the Glenn Beck spot opening and they're rearranging other people. They are going to... Let me just give you the final blow because he really nails the guy at the end. 291 billion dollars worth of debt. So, he's talking about China? You know like 291 billion dollars in the hole this is what you want for United States? Of debt for the Chinese high-speed rail system one Chinese professor describes it as worse than a subprime crash is coming to China because of this well I don't know

1:56:17 I mean, we're spending five times that on a war that we're not even getting anything out of it. We are not getting a rail system... That's where you come from! You know it took me all this time to get there. ...we are not getting a transportation system out of that money. I'm sorry, I've wasted so much time in this interview. That is where you coming from? You are saying because we spent what, $1 trillion dollars in Iraq, the way spending that to secure the oil, we should be spending that on high-speed rail. Is that your argument? What I'm saying is that we have gone into debt to do a war which we're not going to get any benefit of. China's going into debt to build... He nails him to the wall. But go ahead, go look at the US High Speed Rail Association it's on their home page and... What are they thinking? Andy Kuntz promotes high speed rail on Fox! Good job Andy! There'll be a little something extra in your paycheck today Next time put him on MSNBC where they'll play the game Yeah really it's like how stupid can you get to put them on with this guy

CHAPTER 38 / 41 Discussion

Hill & Knowlton PR Tactics and Angela Merkel Photos

The hosts discuss the typical lifecycle of a corporate PR account at firms like Hill & Knowlton, where senior partners eventually hand off work to inexperienced interns. In a separate news item, German Chancellor Angela Merkel expressed outrage after paparazzi captured photos of her on vacation. The hosts joke about the "sagging" buttocks described in the tabloid reports.

hill & knowlton· pr firms· angela merkel· paparazzi· germany

1:57:16 I thought it was great. And then show it! Yeah, and then promote it! I'd be paying money, you know maybe you should take this off the... can you take it out of the archives? We got a few other things to do here. I've been doing a DMCA request takedown from Google now instead what is this The Brilliant Hill & Knowlton? Did they change PR firms? No, no, I'll tell ya what it is. You wanna know what it is? No, Hilton is still doing it but here's what happens. This is classic public and anyone out there who runs a corporation that uses these agencies will say yep Dvorak right They start you off with the heavy hitters and the big fees every month, and then very slowly they up... You start bringing in the underlings. The interns! Yeah, you get the interns on the job. No I think Dorothy. Dorothy she's new but she's really talented She just came out of Cornell and she'll be able to handle it no problem. Cornell? The bill stays the same as a bonehead. You're so right. It's so right. First they got the guys who did the pitch come in

1:58:13 And they roll out for probably on an account like this, they probably do six months. Maybe a little longer at it. Probably a million a month at least and that's excluding costs and you know the travel and hookers and stuff fantastic just I love it great job so I don't know where Andy Coons came from But he's not doing a very good job. He is kind of making our argument for us, I really appreciate it Yeah well we don't make the argument that much anymore. I think we beat it to death It's so obvious but now its just falling apart on its own typical I like that line Resume normal activity citizen

1:59:06 Well, they're not citizens. I didn't say that in the cool yeah That's the future ladies and gentlemen all right aliens curry calm an actual picture of an alien is a Portuguese website Alien are you going there? I'm just writing down something for them no go before the chat room does you'll lose out aliens curry calm Go go go go go yeah, man. I'm gonna type in fest like him get hurry up You know lose out. You'll never get it. Yeah hit it. I'm hitting it There it is. I got it just in time. That's a guy's butt! That's Angela Merkel They took these pictures on her vacation How awesome was that? That's pretty awesome And she's angry Because thats only for the celebrities, she says You shouldn't be doing that to politicians Yeah they got her butt She has her butt hanging out She's shape shifting

2:00:07 I like it guys, here's the English version. In the cover of her white bathrobe Merkel took off her swimwear calmly and exposed her saggy and fat buttocks to the facets. Whoops! Awesome right? Yeah that was very good. Very funny. Meanwhile in Australia...and we thought it was bad with the BBC A national inquiry into child sex abuse has opened in Australia with more than 5,000 people expected to testify about abuse in places like churches sports clubs orphanages and detention centers. What? Why was this not front page news everywhere 5000 people are going to testify oh no I'm sorry it's much more Prime Minister Julia Gillard warned Australians they'll be confronted with some very uncomfortable truths

CHAPTER 39 / 41 Discussion

Australian Royal Commission into Child Sexual Abuse

A massive national inquiry in Australia, known as a Royal Commission, is investigating widespread child sexual abuse in churches, sports clubs, and orphanages. While initially focused on the Catholic Church, experts suggest up to 100,000 people may eventually testify. The hosts discuss how the scandal spans across all major institutions, including secular organizations and equestrian facilities.

australia· julia gillard· royal commission· child abuse· catholic church· sports clubs

2:01:00 She said the Royal Commission now underway is an important moral moment for Australia. Well let's go live to the BBC's Nick Bryant in Sydney, Nick this doesn't go away it gets worse is Australia prepared for what's about to hit on this issue? Well, according to some child sexual abuse experts that I've been listening to this afternoon no. You mentioned a figure of 5,000 people expected to testify before this public inquiry they're called Royal Commissions here but child sex abuse experts saying the number could be nearer to 100,000 people. 100,000 people John?

2:01:44 What is going on there in Australia? Apparently a lot of... Buggery! A lot of buggery. That's frightening, man. That is- that's outrageous A hundred thousand? You can see how that shakes out. But it's sports clubs! Everything, it sounds like everything except the grocery store As the Royal Commission goes around the country hearing evidence It is thought many more people might come Which is one of the reasons why they had a commission that said They're not going to be able produce the report That has been asked by them by Australian government By the deadline and thats the end 2015 So they cant even write up all cases for next two years Thats how rampant this

2:02:27 We gotta chop some heads off people. This is gonna be such a difficult process, they want to hear from so many people and they want to give them the time to tell their stories that it's going take a lot longer than that. Nick what is now emerging about the moral compass of Australia? It's broken! It's spinning like Gilligan Island like The Minnow On so many issues like this Issues That's a big question. I mean, what led to this inquiry being set up in the first place last November was allegations directed against the Roman Catholic Church. Of course. So there actually concealed evidence of paedophile priests and that followed many years of allegations against the Catholic Church indeed the last Pope when he made a visit to Australia had to apologize to victims of child sex abuse but the fear is Nick that problem goes much wider than that

2:03:25 that there's been child sex abuse in other institutions, boarding schools orphanages detention centers sports and recreational clubs so that's why this wide-ranging Royal Commission Equestrian facilities. Here is the thing you know maybe the Roman Catholic Church thing in all areas was just a tip of the iceberg or distraction or lightning rod Because as we saw in Pennsylvania, Penn State with that guy there was no church related to anything. It was just a bunch of kids learning how to play football and having to deal with this pervert And then it turns out, and there's a lot of evidence that there was numerous people involved in the arrest. They kept a couple of them and then it is possible the judicial system as you pointed out in Holland and elsewhere has got this going on maybe the whole Catholic thing is just a lightning rod to keep the real picture which apparently in Australia says not too many Catholics are that I know of

2:04:22 It's an Anglican country as far as I can tell. It blew by rather quickly and they said, wait a minute it's just everywhere we had 100 thousand people that are going to testify!

Millennial Global Interdependence and Globalization History

A clip from C-SPAN features a millennial commentator claiming that his generation is the first to recognize global interdependence due to the War on Terror. The hosts dismiss this as "bullcrap," noting that globalization and international awareness were well-established long before World War I and World War II. They criticize the "token right-winger" S.E. Cupp for the soft interview.

This is really the first global generation who is cognizant of the rest of, of the world being deeply related to us. You may have been able to in some ways live under a rock in previous generations and be disconnected from the rest of the world and think about you know America only or your country only but I think we recognize that and I think
