I'm John C. Dvorak. 10 00:00:34,290 --> 00:00:38,040 It was a horrible storm, and I didn't witness one bit of it. 11 00:00:39,150 --> 00:00:42,630 Well, you know, wasn't that bad around here? That's the joke of 12 00:00:42,630 --> 00:00:42,870 it. 13 00:00:42,900 --> 00:00:45,870 Oh, San Francisco in the city itself. People said it was it 14 00:00:45,870 --> 00:00:46,980 was almost spooky. There. 15 00:00:46,980 --> 00:00:50,700 Were there wimps. Yeah, of course, there would have been an 16 00:00:50,700 --> 00:00:54,150 inch of rain in San Francisco. There was 14 inches in the Santa 17 00:00:54,150 --> 00:00:57,570 Cruz Mountains. Yeah, it's funny because we're all the action was 18 00:00:57,570 --> 00:00:57,720 there's 19 00:00:57,900 --> 00:01:02,970 a lot happened, John, we had snow in. I think Utah on 20 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,810 Minnesota. There was there's snow on the mountains of Hawaii. 21 00:01:08,700 --> 00:01:09,390 Is that normal? 22 00:01:09,420 --> 00:01:10,800 Global warming? What can I say? 23 00:01:11,489 --> 00:01:15,359 Exactly? It's exactly what it is. And Chicago where I was for. 24 00:01:17,489 --> 00:01:20,819 For a couple days. Oh, man, it got so cold. Of course, Chicago 25 00:01:20,819 --> 00:01:24,059 is known for getting cold. Not this time of year, but um, it 26 00:01:24,059 --> 00:01:28,319 was. We only looked at sin at Celsius temperatures but it was 27 00:01:28,499 --> 00:01:32,909 below freezing. So that would be below 32 degrees Fahrenheit 28 00:01:32,939 --> 00:01:36,419 overnight. And of course, you get that wind off the lake 29 00:01:36,419 --> 00:01:38,939 Michigan is like Ah, okay. 30 00:01:39,659 --> 00:01:45,689 who winds up going the other way? So, wait, wait, wait, I 31 00:01:45,689 --> 00:01:49,199 got news. I got I got big news. 32 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,410 All right. Oh, by the way, before you start, I want to 33 00:01:52,410 --> 00:01:55,380 mention that our producer executive producer today is 34 00:01:55,410 --> 00:02:00,390 Timothy Tillman. Timothy from Midlothian, Virginia. Timothy 35 00:02:00,390 --> 00:02:04,860 Tillman, executive producer of the no agenda podcast this week 36 00:02:04,860 --> 00:02:05,430 of episode 37 00:02:05,430 --> 00:02:09,300 139. Timothy is the executive producer put it on your resume. 38 00:02:09,330 --> 00:02:13,050 Yes. And it will help you get get jobs and will vouch. 39 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:17,580 Absolutely, we'll sign anything you send us happily now so we 40 00:02:17,580 --> 00:02:23,610 came back, John and guess what? We have twins. Oh, really? Yeah, 41 00:02:23,610 --> 00:02:25,830 they hatched the pigeons hatched. 42 00:02:26,010 --> 00:02:28,770 Okay, now let's go did you take pictures? Yeah, there's 43 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,520 there will be a picture in today's show notes is a picture 44 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:33,720 on Mickey's Facebook. You 45 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,570 have a picture of the baby pigeons. Because this was the 46 00:02:36,900 --> 00:02:40,200 debate this one guy came over your place and said I there's 47 00:02:40,380 --> 00:02:42,900 people have noticed and this is legendary that no one's ever 48 00:02:42,900 --> 00:02:44,580 seen a baby pigeon. Yeah, well, 49 00:02:44,580 --> 00:02:47,820 so for people who haven't followed along for the past four 50 00:02:47,820 --> 00:02:50,640 or five months, these two pigeons keep coming back. 51 00:02:51,090 --> 00:02:54,780 roosting in this window sill ledge, which is right off the 52 00:02:54,780 --> 00:02:58,530 deck of the back of the containment cell here. And every 53 00:02:58,530 --> 00:03:02,190 single time it's gone wrong either. We've had crows take the 54 00:03:02,190 --> 00:03:05,250 eggs or they've fallen down to the ground or a combination 55 00:03:05,250 --> 00:03:07,320 thereof. And I think it was you've 56 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:09,930 even killed one of the eggs. No, I didn't kill 57 00:03:09,930 --> 00:03:13,590 the egg. But there was a crow had the egg in his mouth I went 58 00:03:13,590 --> 00:03:16,740 shoo and then he dropped the egg on the ground. So technically, 59 00:03:16,740 --> 00:03:21,750 it was a lose lose situation anyway. But I did hear and I 60 00:03:21,750 --> 00:03:24,270 think this is what what is different from this time that 61 00:03:24,270 --> 00:03:27,750 the city of San Francisco spreads out pigeon feed that 62 00:03:27,750 --> 00:03:32,190 includes some chemical that makes them sterile. Because of 63 00:03:32,190 --> 00:03:34,740 course they don't really want a whole bunch of pigeons flying 64 00:03:34,740 --> 00:03:37,530 around the city which I can you know there's already enough of 65 00:03:37,530 --> 00:03:41,130 them so I can kind of understand that but it's also like so what 66 00:03:41,130 --> 00:03:45,900 I did is every single morning whenever the for the with this 67 00:03:45,900 --> 00:03:50,100 last batch of two eggs, I would take some either muesli or 68 00:03:50,100 --> 00:03:53,880 granola and I throw it out on the ledge and and these 69 00:03:54,090 --> 00:03:57,240 so wait you're now admitting to being one of those horrible 70 00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:58,680 people who gets paid for 71 00:03:59,130 --> 00:04:05,700 it? No, but John, it was for science. And by the way, they 72 00:04:05,700 --> 00:04:08,520 really liked the raisin muesli apparently that's much better 73 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:12,210 for them. And and I really got into a good relationship with 74 00:04:12,210 --> 00:04:16,080 ginger because it's Fred and Ginger. Like the muesli better 75 00:04:16,110 --> 00:04:18,450 Did you check to make sure it didn't have any high fructose 76 00:04:18,450 --> 00:04:19,170 corn syrup? No, 77 00:04:19,170 --> 00:04:23,400 no, it's it's completely organic. Yeah, sure. Yeah. And 78 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:25,500 but I had such a good relationship with it. I could 79 00:04:25,500 --> 00:04:28,110 actually throw the stuff onto the ledge while she was sitting 80 00:04:28,110 --> 00:04:31,320 there and on her head and she wouldn't care right. So we come 81 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:35,850 back yesterday from Chicago and I look out and the broken egg 82 00:04:35,850 --> 00:04:38,880 shells are still one of them is actually still attached to one 83 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,040 of these two chicks. I guess they're chicks, right pigeon 84 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:47,400 chicks. And yes, we're piglets. penggiling pixelings 85 00:04:47,459 --> 00:04:48,359 Pit jets. 86 00:04:50,670 --> 00:04:55,530 And, and she literally shows them off to us. She's like here 87 00:04:55,530 --> 00:04:58,950 and she leans back like he looks at what I got here. And then she 88 00:04:58,950 --> 00:05:03,030 covers them up again. And this morning, I gave her some some 89 00:05:03,030 --> 00:05:06,840 more actually was joining PETA. Yeah, Christina wouldn't let 90 00:05:06,840 --> 00:05:09,270 them Christina is like, hey man, don't give them them. Usually 91 00:05:09,270 --> 00:05:13,470 that's good shit, man, I want to eat them usually. So I gave them 92 00:05:13,470 --> 00:05:15,840 some, some other stuff. 93 00:05:16,230 --> 00:05:17,550 Some rice krispies, 94 00:05:17,970 --> 00:05:22,350 Rice Krispie treats for everyone. And as you got awesome 95 00:05:22,350 --> 00:05:25,320 nest to go and eat it and went back, and we got some fantastic 96 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:28,410 pictures that, you know, I have to say they're cute. 97 00:05:29,970 --> 00:05:32,160 And within it will literally now we know we can put this on 98 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,970 Wikipedia. Yeah, I just takes care of the legend that no one's 99 00:05:35,970 --> 00:05:37,560 ever seen a baby pigeon. Well, 100 00:05:37,590 --> 00:05:43,230 we have to and we will be documenting. documenting their 101 00:05:43,230 --> 00:05:47,250 girls until red tail hawk comes around. Some lie we have 102 00:05:47,250 --> 00:05:51,870 right we have a roster who's going to be watching out. 103 00:05:53,910 --> 00:05:58,830 Anyway, a couple things from my travels before we really get 104 00:05:58,830 --> 00:06:05,130 into the meat of the show. First of all, traveling in America is 105 00:06:05,130 --> 00:06:06,450 not fun anymore. 106 00:06:07,860 --> 00:06:10,650 It hasn't been fun for the you know, almost a decade. 107 00:06:10,799 --> 00:06:15,329 It's really, really diminished. I mean, all the way from you get 108 00:06:15,329 --> 00:06:20,039 to the airport, and we flew united. And we flew coach, which 109 00:06:20,039 --> 00:06:23,549 was still Chicago, San Francisco, Chicago coach, 110 00:06:23,969 --> 00:06:30,119 roundtrip each ticket was $600. And that's what the frick, is 111 00:06:30,119 --> 00:06:37,319 that just shy? It's yeah, it's yeah, very high. And it's just 112 00:06:37,319 --> 00:06:40,829 you know, every every year United has this priority check 113 00:06:40,829 --> 00:06:45,119 in which you can add another $49 per ticket, and then you can get 114 00:06:45,119 --> 00:06:49,469 into a faster line. It's like what the hell is that? It which 115 00:06:49,469 --> 00:06:52,739 by the way, didn't go any faster than the regular line, you can 116 00:06:52,769 --> 00:06:56,309 upgrade it, you used to be able to select the seat that was near 117 00:06:56,309 --> 00:06:59,459 and exit those, of course now are for sale. And when you walk 118 00:06:59,459 --> 00:07:02,189 into the plane, it's all frickin midgets who are sitting there 119 00:07:03,689 --> 00:07:08,339 who booked their tickets a year in advance and lock up all the 120 00:07:08,339 --> 00:07:12,779 premium seats? Because that's not a premium seat. Or is that 121 00:07:12,779 --> 00:07:15,269 yeah, an exit row used to be like, well, you have to adhere 122 00:07:15,269 --> 00:07:17,639 to all these. Can you speak English? And are you able to 123 00:07:17,639 --> 00:07:21,089 open up the window? Now? It's like a you got 50 bucks, you can 124 00:07:21,089 --> 00:07:26,759 have an exit seat? No, it's about right. And then this, this 125 00:07:27,209 --> 00:07:30,419 extra, you pay extra for your baggage, which I don't know, I 126 00:07:30,419 --> 00:07:33,149 guess I kind of I didn't realize that's what was going on, you 127 00:07:33,149 --> 00:07:36,329 buy your ticket. And then if you when you check in, if you 128 00:07:36,329 --> 00:07:39,749 actually have a bag with you, then you have to pay $20 A bag. 129 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,380 You know, it's it seems to me as though this is all leading to 130 00:07:43,380 --> 00:07:48,900 one, one of the audacity, which is they to fly you around by the 131 00:07:48,900 --> 00:07:49,590 pound. 132 00:07:50,610 --> 00:07:53,460 Oh, you know what? I'd be okay with 133 00:07:53,459 --> 00:07:56,609 that, you probably were enough to you probably would be the 134 00:07:56,609 --> 00:07:59,939 median. Now they were typical, you probably pay right around 135 00:07:59,939 --> 00:08:03,179 the 600 mark, and then they get these people that are extremely 136 00:08:03,179 --> 00:08:07,739 large, that would have to pay even more. And then there's the 137 00:08:07,739 --> 00:08:10,079 skinny little people could probably get in at a discount. 138 00:08:10,289 --> 00:08:12,899 Well, here's the thing that really make a difference is I 139 00:08:12,899 --> 00:08:15,149 mean, it's part of the cost of the flight. Of course, 140 00:08:15,389 --> 00:08:19,499 every pound is is noted on the spreadsheet, it's extremely 141 00:08:19,499 --> 00:08:23,519 important. But the thing that this does this, this paying for 142 00:08:23,519 --> 00:08:27,029 $20 For baggage which and I'm okay again, I'm okay with it. If 143 00:08:27,029 --> 00:08:29,519 it's really by weight, you know, there's a lot of reasons to say 144 00:08:29,519 --> 00:08:34,589 okay, because it does cost a heavier person. It costs more to 145 00:08:34,589 --> 00:08:38,369 transport them in aviation, it's all done by weight and balance. 146 00:08:39,569 --> 00:08:43,499 But of course, what this does is it forces people to bring on 147 00:08:43,499 --> 00:08:50,189 these fatties overseas shipping containers on wheels. And it's 148 00:08:50,189 --> 00:08:53,939 just a nightmare. What goes on with people trying to jam this 149 00:08:53,939 --> 00:08:58,229 shit into overhead bins. And then of course, you know, it's 150 00:08:58,229 --> 00:09:02,069 completely filled to the, to the nook and cranny and people, you 151 00:09:02,069 --> 00:09:05,369 know, finally get them closed. And then some other dickhead 152 00:09:05,369 --> 00:09:08,489 comes along. He's like, Oh, I think I will open this one. And 153 00:09:08,489 --> 00:09:10,829 then you know, it falls on people's heads. And it's like, 154 00:09:10,829 --> 00:09:15,299 it's just, it's a nightmare. It's so stupid. And why do they 155 00:09:15,299 --> 00:09:18,389 allow people to bring on these huge suitcases? 156 00:09:18,450 --> 00:09:21,330 You're not supposed to bring on a suitcase that big. I mean, I 157 00:09:21,330 --> 00:09:24,930 carry a hard case, which is designed specifically. And I do 158 00:09:24,930 --> 00:09:27,630 it for the specific reason. I know it'll fit in those bins. 159 00:09:27,810 --> 00:09:30,690 But these people they buy these things that they will fit in the 160 00:09:30,690 --> 00:09:34,140 bin if they're empty, but then they stuffed them full of so 161 00:09:34,140 --> 00:09:39,180 much stuff. And thing is bulging. And then they slam it 162 00:09:39,180 --> 00:09:41,850 up or the or some people do the same thing with a garment bag, 163 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:45,000 even though that to me, people travel with those anymore, but 164 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,700 some people do. And then they can't they can't get the thing 165 00:09:47,700 --> 00:09:50,880 in and they're pushing and pushing and pushing and then the 166 00:09:50,910 --> 00:09:55,260 woman comes along those she helps push. She's pushing and 167 00:09:55,260 --> 00:09:58,890 they're pushing and then she's got tricks to kind of caulk the 168 00:09:59,490 --> 00:10:02,940 things so kinda opens a little wider and they finally get it in 169 00:10:02,940 --> 00:10:05,970 there. And then when when the plane exits, you have to wait 170 00:10:05,970 --> 00:10:08,490 for this guy to try to get out. But 171 00:10:08,790 --> 00:10:11,400 it's like you're supposed to even say please put your lighter 172 00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,460 items in the overhead bin which they're not luggage storage 173 00:10:14,460 --> 00:10:17,790 there for like your coat, your laptop bag, you know, some small 174 00:10:17,790 --> 00:10:20,910 things. And I have a nice coat and I put my I fold my coat, I 175 00:10:20,910 --> 00:10:24,540 put it up there, I've got my my laptop bag, I put it up there 176 00:10:24,540 --> 00:10:29,280 and I'm done, you know, and then some douchebag comes along. Like 177 00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:31,710 dude, you know, that's like my coat in there. That's like my 178 00:10:31,710 --> 00:10:35,100 shit. And you're just like, ramming it like a jackhammer, 179 00:10:35,399 --> 00:10:37,379 tough toenails kid now and 180 00:10:37,380 --> 00:10:40,980 all the while. And so the air conditioning unit was on like 181 00:10:40,980 --> 00:10:43,890 sub zero temperatures above three rows, because we're of 182 00:10:43,890 --> 00:10:46,620 course, we're on a triple seven, which means you get why do they 183 00:10:46,620 --> 00:10:50,310 make five seats next to each other five seats is the most 184 00:10:50,310 --> 00:10:52,590 inconvenient thing in the world. If you have an aisle seat, 185 00:10:52,590 --> 00:10:55,200 you're going to be standing up throughout the entire flight to 186 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,890 let at least two other people go to the restroom. And so you 187 00:10:58,890 --> 00:11:01,380 know, kept saying, Could you please control the air 188 00:11:01,380 --> 00:11:04,140 conditioning? Because we're really freezing like you feel my 189 00:11:04,140 --> 00:11:07,860 legs. They're made their blocks of ice. And these people, the 190 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:12,540 the flight attendants on United who are just dickheads and ugly. 191 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,870 They just all look good. All the conservatively to yeah, all 192 00:11:15,870 --> 00:11:23,910 they're concerned about is turn off your cell phone could you 193 00:11:23,910 --> 00:11:28,170 please, whoever controls the air conditioning? Could you please 194 00:11:28,170 --> 00:11:30,990 change it just a little bit? Turn it up a little bit turned 195 00:11:30,990 --> 00:11:36,840 off? All they talk about? And then oh, we have we have a 196 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:40,440 breakfast. Which by the way, the food you buy is a box of 197 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:44,820 chemicals. And by the time they get to row 43 I'm sorry, we're 198 00:11:44,820 --> 00:11:48,840 out of breakfast. How many seats do you have on the plane? Bitch? 199 00:11:50,490 --> 00:11:53,040 Ah, use that as a starter. Yeah. 200 00:11:54,179 --> 00:11:58,109 Let me market that's a good one. And, and I had some fun at the 201 00:11:58,109 --> 00:12:05,429 TSA as well. I just so far. Yeah, I mean, ah, so the thing 202 00:12:05,429 --> 00:12:09,269 that bugs me is there's no consistency. So there was a new 203 00:12:09,299 --> 00:12:13,259 or two new things in Chicago on our way back. The new one 204 00:12:13,259 --> 00:12:15,569 was just interrupt you for saying I do want to mention that 205 00:12:15,569 --> 00:12:18,719 there is no consistency. If you look at the TSA website, because 206 00:12:18,719 --> 00:12:23,699 I fly with my daughter every so often. She's under 18. If you 207 00:12:23,699 --> 00:12:27,419 read the TSA website, children flying with their parents don't 208 00:12:27,419 --> 00:12:34,859 need any ID whatsoever. Right to Try to do it in the TSA says on 209 00:12:34,859 --> 00:12:38,999 the website. So the TSA TSA policy, try to get your daughter 210 00:12:38,999 --> 00:12:41,819 on an airplane with no ID and see what happens. 211 00:12:42,870 --> 00:12:46,170 Oh, well. So the consistency Well, first, let me start at 212 00:12:46,170 --> 00:12:52,500 every airport. Before you get to TSA. They have the local airport 213 00:12:52,500 --> 00:12:55,710 rent a cop, which is one step above janitor and nothing 214 00:12:55,710 --> 00:12:59,190 against janitors, but you get a uniform with a sewn on like 215 00:12:59,190 --> 00:13:04,410 security patch. And their only job is to check and see you have 216 00:13:04,410 --> 00:13:07,590 a boarding card. Right? They have no legal right to look at 217 00:13:07,590 --> 00:13:11,250 your identification. Their only job is to make sure you don't 218 00:13:11,250 --> 00:13:14,880 get into line without a boarding card, which I'm okay with that. 219 00:13:15,330 --> 00:13:19,410 But the arrogance and the way they look at you and the way 220 00:13:19,410 --> 00:13:25,020 they speak to you and then, you know so I on the way over the 221 00:13:25,020 --> 00:13:30,750 woman like Martin guide, like and what happens with me is I 222 00:13:30,750 --> 00:13:33,600 just can't help I remain friendly, but I gotta loud, you 223 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,390 know, like, Good morning, how are you? And they're always kind 224 00:13:36,390 --> 00:13:38,730 of freaks him out. And then she's like, grabbing my grabbing 225 00:13:38,730 --> 00:13:42,210 my boarding card. Okay, that's good. Thank you. You know, I 226 00:13:42,210 --> 00:13:45,210 just I just can't help but I just have to, I figure if anyone 227 00:13:45,210 --> 00:13:47,250 says What the fuck is wrong with you? I'll say I'm sorry. I'm 228 00:13:47,250 --> 00:13:51,180 hard of hearing or something. You know, I can just like what? 229 00:13:51,510 --> 00:13:55,920 But you know, it's like that's, that's it's so unfriendly. It's 230 00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:57,150 so unfriendly. 231 00:13:57,180 --> 00:14:00,030 My favorite thing is recently they'd be taken out when you go 232 00:14:00,030 --> 00:14:02,940 into the line is to begin to have the boarding card and Id 233 00:14:02,940 --> 00:14:06,660 guy. And so they in different airports. Again, it's 234 00:14:06,660 --> 00:14:09,120 inconsistent, but Seattle always had to have for one thing. They 235 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,220 got a little ultraviolet light. Yeah, 236 00:14:11,399 --> 00:14:12,899 they shine it on your on your 237 00:14:13,860 --> 00:14:17,250 card, like okay, whatever. Yeah, so they're shining the light on 238 00:14:17,250 --> 00:14:20,430 the card, and then the guys in Seattle typically hold the card 239 00:14:20,430 --> 00:14:24,270 up into the air next year. So it's like matches next to your 240 00:14:24,270 --> 00:14:27,030 face. And then they move it up forward and backwards, though. 241 00:14:27,030 --> 00:14:28,170 They're like Monet and 242 00:14:28,170 --> 00:14:31,080 they're looking at looking at it, like they have some facial 243 00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:31,890 recognition to 244 00:14:31,890 --> 00:14:33,630 picture and they're going back and forth and back and forth. 245 00:14:33,630 --> 00:14:34,290 Like you know, 246 00:14:35,340 --> 00:14:38,520 so here's, here's the inconsistency. So in Chicago, 247 00:14:38,790 --> 00:14:41,370 and of course, these instructions are yelled at you. 248 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:48,990 So usually it's take your laptop out of the bag, and I have a one 249 00:14:48,990 --> 00:14:51,930 of those crumble bags, so it's just the laptop and it has its 250 00:14:51,930 --> 00:14:54,390 own little encasement nothing else so it's you know, it's and 251 00:14:54,390 --> 00:14:57,540 I just carry that in my under my arm, because I don't want to be 252 00:14:57,540 --> 00:15:00,420 taken shit out of a bag and just make it easy for me. Whatever. 253 00:15:01,500 --> 00:15:03,570 So you're normally he's like, take our laptops out like 254 00:15:03,570 --> 00:15:10,260 chronic. And, and then you have to, and then you have to put 255 00:15:10,260 --> 00:15:12,930 your shoes you have take your shoes off with a new one here 256 00:15:12,930 --> 00:15:16,260 was Do not put your shoes in the men's shoes have to be on the 257 00:15:16,260 --> 00:15:20,820 belt by themselves. Like, yeah, exactly. And I'm like, wow, 258 00:15:20,820 --> 00:15:24,210 okay, so I just let that go. So I'm like, Okay, I'll put my bugs 259 00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,550 because then of course, I travel with the easy issues to take 260 00:15:26,550 --> 00:15:30,450 off. I'll put them on the belt, I have a scarf, like a, you 261 00:15:30,450 --> 00:15:33,600 know, just a gray scarf. And everything's off. I'm you know, 262 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:37,500 my pants are falling down. I've got nothing, nothing on except 263 00:15:37,500 --> 00:15:40,440 the scarf. And the guy says, take off your scarf, sir. And 264 00:15:40,950 --> 00:15:44,610 that's like, doesn't the X ray machine show that there's 265 00:15:44,610 --> 00:15:47,670 nothing in the scarf? No, we have to see you have nothing 266 00:15:47,700 --> 00:15:52,290 underneath. Okay? So I'm like, Alright, I begrudgingly do that. 267 00:15:52,740 --> 00:15:55,530 And then as my stuff comes out on the other on the other side, 268 00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:59,280 and there's one been with my laptop, on top of the rubber 269 00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:02,820 casing, you know, just a little protection or protection bag. 270 00:16:03,090 --> 00:16:05,340 The guy says, you know, you don't have to take that out of 271 00:16:05,340 --> 00:16:09,900 the bag. I'm like, Oh, really, Agent white? Well, please come 272 00:16:09,900 --> 00:16:12,120 to every other airport. I've been through where I've been 273 00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:16,530 balled out for not taking it out. That's not true. Like, 274 00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:17,220 okay. 275 00:16:19,049 --> 00:16:20,999 You know, that's not true. 276 00:16:21,150 --> 00:16:23,910 And then and then then I would know, please take it on. Yeah. 277 00:16:23,970 --> 00:16:26,910 And please take your bins off of the belt, we need to move along, 278 00:16:26,910 --> 00:16:30,330 move along. Like where am I going to redress? Sir, there's 279 00:16:30,330 --> 00:16:34,260 like one bench where two people can sit on and there's 30 People 280 00:16:34,260 --> 00:16:36,900 in the queue. It's just so anyway, what I'm building up to 281 00:16:36,900 --> 00:16:40,980 is my entire frustration of being treated like an idiotic 282 00:16:40,980 --> 00:16:45,360 slave. And when you really sit and drink a coffee at the 283 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:50,850 airport and watch people, they have become zombies. And all the 284 00:16:50,850 --> 00:16:55,290 while the soundtrack is current thread level is orange, please 285 00:16:55,290 --> 00:16:59,400 be very vigilant. Do not let go of your luggage, please maintain 286 00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:03,600 your it's maintain your luggage at all times. It's like that, 287 00:17:03,630 --> 00:17:06,810 that shit has influence on your psyche. You know, it really 288 00:17:06,810 --> 00:17:11,160 does. And people are walking around like zombies John, and no 289 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:14,970 one's friendly. No one says thank you or please or whatever. 290 00:17:15,870 --> 00:17:16,770 And it's just 291 00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:19,380 that well, you wonder why Chicago lost a bid for the 292 00:17:19,380 --> 00:17:20,010 Olympics. 293 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:24,149 And it's not it's not just Chicago. It's the airport 294 00:17:24,149 --> 00:17:27,239 experience in general. And America used to be ridiculed in 295 00:17:27,239 --> 00:17:30,209 a funny sort of way by the Europeans when I was growing up 296 00:17:30,209 --> 00:17:34,289 and get my nation east. Oh, America is so fake with your 297 00:17:34,349 --> 00:17:37,529 Have a nice day. And how are you doing? And I'd always defend 298 00:17:37,529 --> 00:17:41,699 that and say, No, that's not true. People Americans generally 299 00:17:41,699 --> 00:17:44,609 just mean that don't read anything into it. They actually 300 00:17:44,609 --> 00:17:48,119 mean how you doing or have a nice day and it's a part of 301 00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:52,649 service and services Service with a smile. But now even the 302 00:17:52,649 --> 00:17:56,129 people who say this like Hi, how you doing? Have a nice day. 303 00:17:56,339 --> 00:17:59,759 Thank you very much. Have a nice day. It becomes zombified, 304 00:17:59,969 --> 00:18:03,029 completely zombified. And I'm, well, that's why these movies 305 00:18:03,029 --> 00:18:07,889 are out. Exactly. Exactly. And and even in my intro, I said it, 306 00:18:07,889 --> 00:18:10,769 you know, I saw zombie land, which is a fantastic movie, if 307 00:18:10,769 --> 00:18:15,659 you like gratuitous killing of zombies. Who doesn't? And let's 308 00:18:15,659 --> 00:18:20,279 face it. But I think there was a very deep psychological metaphor 309 00:18:20,279 --> 00:18:23,549 in there that the filmmakers were trying to portray, and 310 00:18:23,549 --> 00:18:27,119 they're right. We have just become a nation of zombies, at 311 00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:31,499 least in these in these open spaces. where people come 312 00:18:31,499 --> 00:18:34,799 together, and there's just no human interaction whatsoever. 313 00:18:34,799 --> 00:18:39,089 And it's, it's sad and misery. It really saddens me, and 314 00:18:39,090 --> 00:18:41,730 that the government has done what it has to do to dehumanize 315 00:18:41,730 --> 00:18:44,310 the entire population, United States and its word nation, 316 00:18:44,340 --> 00:18:46,710 it's frickin worked. Well, they, 317 00:18:46,710 --> 00:18:48,480 you know, it doesn't take that much. 318 00:18:49,140 --> 00:18:52,110 So anyway, while I was in Chicago, I had a quick walk 319 00:18:52,110 --> 00:18:55,470 around, wanting to show Mickey, you know, some, you know, like 320 00:18:55,470 --> 00:18:58,140 the loop and stuff. And I bumped into something rather 321 00:18:58,140 --> 00:19:00,690 interesting. And I did a little bit of research on it. Although 322 00:19:00,690 --> 00:19:03,450 I don't know if it really means that if we can read too much 323 00:19:03,450 --> 00:19:08,130 into it, but it was just kind of fun to see. I saw a plaque on on 324 00:19:08,130 --> 00:19:11,640 one of the bridges, and I forget which one offhand but it's not 325 00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:18,390 that relevant, which was a plaque from 1687 or something 326 00:19:18,390 --> 00:19:22,020 and talked about Norwegian sailors coming over to Chicago. 327 00:19:22,290 --> 00:19:25,170 And so I started Googling a little bit about, you know, I 328 00:19:25,170 --> 00:19:29,880 basically, did Google searches on the Norway Chicago 329 00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:34,890 connection, of course, thinking that, hey, maybe, maybe there's 330 00:19:34,980 --> 00:19:38,220 a deeper meaning behind the Norwegians not the Swedes, it 331 00:19:38,220 --> 00:19:42,180 was the Norwegian, five Norwegian politicians who 332 00:19:42,180 --> 00:19:46,410 essentially choose the Nobel Peace Prize. There was a huge 333 00:19:46,410 --> 00:19:53,070 Norwegian community in Chicago. And did you know that 55 of the 334 00:19:53,070 --> 00:19:59,970 big bridges in Chicago were built by Norwegians. Okay, and 335 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,170 And there's a lot 336 00:20:01,170 --> 00:20:03,690 of Norwegians in that whole area, Minnesota, Chicago, 337 00:20:03,690 --> 00:20:04,980 Wisconsin. Right. 338 00:20:05,010 --> 00:20:07,350 Right. But I just thought, you know, and there's there's still 339 00:20:07,410 --> 00:20:10,650 to this day shipping contracts. And there's all kinds of stuff 340 00:20:10,650 --> 00:20:13,560 going back and forth between Norway and Chicago. And I just 341 00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:17,220 thought it was interesting that there may be a little more 342 00:20:17,220 --> 00:20:21,000 connection there between Chicago specifically and Norway and 343 00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:23,669 never know what Chicago so there's 344 00:20:23,670 --> 00:20:26,670 a there's a couple of links that I'll put into the show notes 345 00:20:26,670 --> 00:20:31,230 that no agenda show.com where you can read about the Norwegian 346 00:20:31,230 --> 00:20:36,720 community. All the work they did on on the bridges, which face it 347 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:41,310 is a big part of the Chicago infrastructure. And 55 bridges 348 00:20:41,310 --> 00:20:44,790 is, you know, that's that's not just a little and there's a lot 349 00:20:44,790 --> 00:20:49,470 of, I guess, it's Lutheran churches in Chicago that that 350 00:20:49,470 --> 00:20:55,410 Norwegians built? I don't know. I just thought it was 351 00:20:55,830 --> 00:20:58,170 interesting that there may be a little deeper connection there. 352 00:20:58,590 --> 00:21:01,230 Well, let's get back to this dehumanizing theme. I think this 353 00:21:01,230 --> 00:21:05,700 is this is a good one for sure. Well, let's, which brings me to 354 00:21:05,700 --> 00:21:10,560 one of my clips. And first I want to mention that clip Id hit 355 00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,560 guy promise died never dug up. And I got to dig it up because 356 00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:15,870 it's still valid. And it'll still be good to listen to, 357 00:21:15,870 --> 00:21:20,850 which is Shepard Smith, be rating on Fox where the movie 358 00:21:20,850 --> 00:21:24,240 rating a nurse or who wasn't going to take the swine flu 359 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:29,640 shot. And he essentially berated her for pretending that she 360 00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:34,290 knows more than the CDC knows. Because the CDC knows more than 361 00:21:34,290 --> 00:21:37,680 she does. She doesn't know anything. And the fact that she 362 00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:41,790 would come on the show and go in it was just was unbelievable. 363 00:21:41,790 --> 00:21:43,650 Listen to this thing, because it was just like, 364 00:21:44,700 --> 00:21:47,760 Did you did you send me this clip? John? 365 00:21:48,420 --> 00:21:51,720 The clip that you have two clips, right. Yeah, it's the one 366 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:53,100 that's not the P pod. 367 00:21:53,609 --> 00:21:54,599 Oh, Riley dick. 368 00:21:55,980 --> 00:22:00,690 Anyway, so so so Smith goes on and on. And so I've thought wow, 369 00:22:00,690 --> 00:22:03,840 that was just an anomaly. Shepard Smith's a dick. You 370 00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:07,200 know, there's all these different possibilities. Or she 371 00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:09,870 went off script or who knows what and I think that I didn't 372 00:22:09,870 --> 00:22:14,520 think was gonna be automatic. Then O'Reilly comes on to showed 373 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:18,330 me this was this last week. And you know, I just not that this 374 00:22:18,330 --> 00:22:22,380 woman doesn't need berating. But the idea that you bring somebody 375 00:22:22,380 --> 00:22:25,710 on who has you know, that you're all you're gonna do is be raid 376 00:22:25,710 --> 00:22:29,460 her, because she is not the government and the government 377 00:22:29,460 --> 00:22:33,780 knows best. Fox had gotten into this mode of the government 378 00:22:33,780 --> 00:22:39,330 knows best. Which is, which is somewhat sick. Because the 379 00:22:39,330 --> 00:22:42,630 government doesn't know best, but the government knows best 380 00:22:42,630 --> 00:22:44,910 are the generals know best? And, you know, I mean, you know, 381 00:22:44,970 --> 00:22:48,120 anyone who's been through the Vietnam war scene knows that 382 00:22:48,120 --> 00:22:52,080 that was bogus. But no, that's okay. So I want you to play this 383 00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:53,880 is a little long, you're gonna have the interrupted a couple of 384 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:59,100 times. But this is O'Reilly attacking a Code Pink woman, one 385 00:22:59,100 --> 00:23:02,610 of the co founders are something and she was actually quite 386 00:23:02,610 --> 00:23:05,460 pleasant for a Code Pink woman she had, she just wanted to she 387 00:23:05,460 --> 00:23:08,670 just came on to say what she wanted to say. And he just not 388 00:23:08,670 --> 00:23:12,660 only ridiculed her, but then laughed at her and I thought 389 00:23:12,660 --> 00:23:13,980 found it abhorrent 390 00:23:14,220 --> 00:23:16,680 for Americans who want out of Afghanistan, even though there's 391 00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:19,380 no question that terrorists would move in. Joining us now 392 00:23:19,380 --> 00:23:21,870 from Washington, Medea Benjamin, leader of Code Pink, committed 393 00:23:21,930 --> 00:23:25,440 anti war group. And Miss Benjamin is just back from 394 00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:29,040 Afghanistan. So just just to find for everybody, your exact 395 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:31,200 position on the war over there. 396 00:23:32,490 --> 00:23:35,670 We don't think sending 40,000 more troops is the answer. We 397 00:23:35,670 --> 00:23:38,940 think there is no military solution. And in fact, we think 398 00:23:38,940 --> 00:23:42,180 the presence of US troops is the best recruiting tool that the 399 00:23:42,210 --> 00:23:46,200 Taliban has. We were told about 30% of people who join the 400 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:50,040 Taliban join because they've been harmed by foreign forces, 401 00:23:50,250 --> 00:23:53,730 and the other 70% joined because they're poor. So I think we'd be 402 00:23:53,730 --> 00:23:56,910 a lot better off saving the lives of our soldiers and the 403 00:23:56,910 --> 00:24:00,570 money of our tax dollars, if we provided financial incentives 404 00:24:00,570 --> 00:24:03,750 for people not to join the Taliban. And we have an exit 405 00:24:03,750 --> 00:24:07,950 strategy, and let the Afghan military and the Afghan police 406 00:24:07,950 --> 00:24:10,920 be trained by the UN, and promote peace talks. 407 00:24:10,950 --> 00:24:16,050 Before we even let O'Reilly go further. It baffles me how the 408 00:24:16,050 --> 00:24:20,040 talk has shifted to the Taliban. How we were supposed to be there 409 00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:23,310 for one reason and one reason only, which was to catch Osama 410 00:24:23,310 --> 00:24:27,540 bin Laden. Okay, you can tack on your phantom al Qaeda if you 411 00:24:27,540 --> 00:24:30,990 want. But the entire conversation has shifted to the 412 00:24:30,990 --> 00:24:34,110 Taliban and no one's even questioning that. 413 00:24:34,140 --> 00:24:38,130 Now. This is like the shift from health care reform to health 414 00:24:38,130 --> 00:24:42,270 care. Insurance Reform. Yeah, you just slip in. You just be 415 00:24:42,270 --> 00:24:45,840 you do slipstream the argument. So you were talking about one 416 00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:47,940 thing one minute, the next thing you know, we got to stop the 417 00:24:47,940 --> 00:24:50,910 Taliban, by the way, just 418 00:24:52,530 --> 00:24:56,790 so Medea, Benjamin feels that she you know more about winning 419 00:24:56,790 --> 00:24:58,830 a war than General McChrystal. 420 00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:03,360 Well, yeah, he's doesn't seem to be winning it does he? She's, 421 00:25:04,109 --> 00:25:07,529 I don't know, if that's gonna fly. Soon the Christian thinks 422 00:25:07,529 --> 00:25:12,059 he can win. And he's the expert general, and you're a civilian, 423 00:25:12,209 --> 00:25:13,979 but you say, you know more than him? 424 00:25:15,210 --> 00:25:18,570 Well, I'm absolutely certain that more troops is not the 425 00:25:18,570 --> 00:25:19,140 answer. It's 426 00:25:19,140 --> 00:25:22,140 okay. But he's certainly he's certainly more troops is the 427 00:25:22,140 --> 00:25:25,920 answer. So I'm saying, Why should I take you with all due 428 00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:29,010 respect your expertise over Christmas? 429 00:25:29,970 --> 00:25:33,600 You fool, you're a slave. You need to shut up woman Shut up 430 00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:35,460 and sit down. What do you know? 431 00:25:36,180 --> 00:25:37,590 That's exactly right. 432 00:25:37,590 --> 00:25:41,070 Yeah, it's, you know, so just in response to this, first of all, 433 00:25:41,070 --> 00:25:44,130 I don't know what wars McChrystal has won, you know, I 434 00:25:44,130 --> 00:25:46,560 wouldn't mind seeing his track record, okay, maybe he was a 435 00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:51,120 seal or something like that. And just to preface this, I really 436 00:25:51,120 --> 00:25:54,180 have deep respect for servicemen and women, my whole family is 437 00:25:54,180 --> 00:25:59,310 government servicemen and women. And there is a constitutional 438 00:26:01,290 --> 00:26:04,800 obligation. And when people sign up for that, you know, that's, 439 00:26:04,830 --> 00:26:09,840 that's huge. So it's not about that. But jeez, Louise, when 440 00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:13,110 when will we understand that this is the biggest scam in the 441 00:26:13,110 --> 00:26:17,700 world. And I hate to say it, but it is a complete fractal of 442 00:26:17,700 --> 00:26:22,980 Iraq, complete from from Afghanistan to Iran. It's all 443 00:26:22,980 --> 00:26:26,430 about access to the region. It's all about oil. It's what it's 444 00:26:26,430 --> 00:26:29,940 all about all over again, it has nothing to do with Taliban, 445 00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:34,140 other than, you know, getting the Taliban out of the way, who 446 00:26:34,170 --> 00:26:37,290 of course, depleted the poppy fields down to almost zero 447 00:26:37,290 --> 00:26:40,950 production. The coalition forces come in, and now we're up at 448 00:26:40,950 --> 00:26:46,590 120 125%. So we can ship drugs over to the west and continue to 449 00:26:46,590 --> 00:26:47,550 fuel Wall Street. 450 00:26:50,490 --> 00:26:55,290 Okay, well, McChrystal was a West Point grad, commissioned a 451 00:26:55,290 --> 00:27:03,300 second lieutenant around 76. Then he was we did that. See, he 452 00:27:03,300 --> 00:27:04,950 was special for Special Forces, 453 00:27:05,369 --> 00:27:08,369 special ops or whatever. Okay, so but that doesn't mean you 454 00:27:08,369 --> 00:27:10,109 know how to win a war. That means you know, how to kill 455 00:27:10,109 --> 00:27:10,649 people. 456 00:27:11,340 --> 00:27:15,720 You went to South Korea. Ooh, the street that is fifth 457 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:21,330 Rangers. So high end? Fighter, that's for sure. 458 00:27:21,330 --> 00:27:24,120 Yeah, a fighter, but it doesn't necessarily mean he's a 459 00:27:24,660 --> 00:27:28,740 strategic war winner. And by the way, what constitutes winning in 460 00:27:28,740 --> 00:27:32,550 Afghanistan? What when we win, what does that mean? 461 00:27:34,350 --> 00:27:36,690 Yeah, well, I know it's the same thing with Iraq where who's you? 462 00:27:36,690 --> 00:27:39,270 Who would who would be beating? I mean, somebody come over and 463 00:27:39,270 --> 00:27:42,990 do we sign up some papers on a train on a ship? I mean, there's 464 00:27:42,990 --> 00:27:45,660 no who knows nobody that did that can surrender. I mean, it's 465 00:27:45,660 --> 00:27:46,410 ridiculous. 466 00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:52,649 And it looks like the it looks like the Obama is going to do 467 00:27:52,649 --> 00:27:54,329 another surge type deal. 468 00:27:56,700 --> 00:28:00,270 Yeah, well, that's what this debate is all about. I'm still 469 00:28:00,270 --> 00:28:02,880 looking over this McChrystal stuff. I'm not seeing that, 470 00:28:03,150 --> 00:28:05,070 that he was a big war winning general. 471 00:28:06,810 --> 00:28:09,750 He was criticized for his role in the aftermath of the 2004 472 00:28:09,750 --> 00:28:12,540 death. This is a one where that guru or the Pat Tillman was 473 00:28:12,540 --> 00:28:20,040 killed he lied about it apparently. He said that Tillman 474 00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:22,920 was killed in a line of devastating enemy fire, which 475 00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:25,770 was not alright or not gonna be the case. It was friendly fire. 476 00:28:25,770 --> 00:28:28,560 So we got it. So now we have a guy that's not even you can't 477 00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:31,860 even trust him right there. Boom. So why does anything he 478 00:28:31,860 --> 00:28:34,560 say it was. Liddy 479 00:28:34,590 --> 00:28:39,210 write us. BBC reports us dismisses Afghans surge report. 480 00:28:39,210 --> 00:28:42,240 The White House has denied reports that US President Barack 481 00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:45,420 Obama may soon announce a substantial increase in US 482 00:28:45,420 --> 00:28:47,850 troops to Afghanistan. You want to hear Robert Gibbs that 483 00:28:47,850 --> 00:28:50,460 douchebag want to hear what he has to say I love Robert 484 00:28:50,460 --> 00:28:52,050 Gibbs. He's my favorite. He's 485 00:28:52,050 --> 00:28:57,330 funny to listen to. It's a short sales report. 486 00:28:59,910 --> 00:29:05,430 I wouldn't. The President has not made a decision. And when he 487 00:29:05,430 --> 00:29:10,020 does, I think you can assume that the BBC will not be the 488 00:29:10,020 --> 00:29:14,790 first outlet. For such a decision. I would not put any 489 00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:18,660 throw weight behind the fact that a decision has been made 490 00:29:18,660 --> 00:29:21,420 when the President has yet to make a decision. 491 00:29:21,689 --> 00:29:24,569 Does the President actually make that decision? Doesn't Congress 492 00:29:24,569 --> 00:29:25,529 make the decision? 493 00:29:25,650 --> 00:29:28,260 Well, it's a board decision. So it's supposed to be Congress, 494 00:29:28,260 --> 00:29:32,700 but I think that the Congress doesn't care. And besides that, 495 00:29:32,700 --> 00:29:34,530 they should go along with anything. He says 496 00:29:34,650 --> 00:29:39,990 Gordon Brown pledged 500 more forces for Afghanistan. That's a 497 00:29:40,110 --> 00:29:45,180 500. Yeah. And he said it's all you know, it's all very 498 00:29:45,180 --> 00:29:49,050 important. This is right in line with the strategy. So 499 00:29:49,050 --> 00:29:52,800 apparently, the UK strategy is different from the US strategy. 500 00:29:55,140 --> 00:29:59,970 Or it's just the setup. You know, to say the strategy is 501 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,670 Right, and the strategy calls for more troops. And then Obama 502 00:30:02,670 --> 00:30:05,520 can say, well, our partners are doing it, we have to do it as 503 00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:06,120 well. 504 00:30:07,529 --> 00:30:10,859 And yeah, there's some some. So I'm gonna, I'm definitely I'm 505 00:30:10,859 --> 00:30:13,379 gonna get off this wiki page. I'm sorry, but I was looking at, 506 00:30:13,619 --> 00:30:15,809 somebody's gonna have to, I don't know why it's not in the 507 00:30:15,809 --> 00:30:21,359 wiki. But supposedly Stanley McChrystal won a Bronze Star. 508 00:30:21,809 --> 00:30:23,879 And there's no mention of what for? 509 00:30:25,260 --> 00:30:31,320 Well, it was to fill up an empty spot on his uniform was an 510 00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:37,380 interesting report in The Times the UK times that, you know, 511 00:30:37,380 --> 00:30:43,110 the, the French that were 10 French troops who were killed. I 512 00:30:43,110 --> 00:30:47,070 think a couple of weeks ago, when they walked into the war, 513 00:30:47,070 --> 00:30:50,160 they took over from the Italians in the sarobi area east of 514 00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:54,870 Kabul. And this was supposed to be a very, very calm, very 515 00:30:54,870 --> 00:30:57,720 serene area. And the and the French come in, it was their 516 00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:01,590 turn to take over that particular region, and boom, you 517 00:31:01,590 --> 00:31:07,020 know, 10 guys get killed. And this report now states that the 518 00:31:07,020 --> 00:31:11,640 Italian Secret Service was paying 1000s and 1000s of 519 00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:15,300 dollars to the Taliban commanders and local warlords to 520 00:31:15,300 --> 00:31:19,290 keep the area calm. But they neglected to tell the French 521 00:31:19,290 --> 00:31:21,570 this so the French went in, didn't know where to drop the 522 00:31:21,570 --> 00:31:26,070 black bag, or where to place the envelope. And the warlord is 523 00:31:26,070 --> 00:31:29,040 like, Hey, we're going to take you out. Because the Italians, 524 00:31:29,070 --> 00:31:31,590 the Italians are just paying them off and drinking wine all 525 00:31:31,590 --> 00:31:36,990 day. It's a fantastic article, it'll be in the show notes. But 526 00:31:37,140 --> 00:31:38,610 I definitely have to read that one. It's 527 00:31:38,610 --> 00:31:42,390 like, Whoa, I mean, and there's a lot and there's been a lot of 528 00:31:42,390 --> 00:31:45,810 reports about buying off of warlords and, and but there's 529 00:31:45,810 --> 00:31:50,430 just no one really aggregating it all up into one real concise 530 00:31:50,430 --> 00:31:51,630 story. And 531 00:31:52,470 --> 00:31:55,410 now the whole thing is a fiasco. It really 532 00:31:55,410 --> 00:31:59,100 is. It really, really is. And but not just It's so 533 00:31:59,100 --> 00:32:03,660 disappointing, and it's upsetting. It's like, don't we 534 00:32:03,660 --> 00:32:07,470 see what's going on? Don't we? Why can't Why can't we see that? 535 00:32:07,500 --> 00:32:11,730 Probably because all we hear is current thread level is orange. 536 00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:14,580 I was talking about this with Nikki last night. And because 537 00:32:14,610 --> 00:32:17,580 she also was starting to get really irritated about, you 538 00:32:17,580 --> 00:32:20,910 know, the TSA stuff, and she's totally slipping over to the 539 00:32:20,910 --> 00:32:26,100 dark side, John, which is kind of cool. And, and she says, But 540 00:32:26,100 --> 00:32:28,470 you know, of course, we don't want terrorists. I said, Well, 541 00:32:28,500 --> 00:32:32,520 let me ask you this in Madrid, where were people killed by 542 00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:35,730 terrorists? And she said on the train, I said, in London, where 543 00:32:35,730 --> 00:32:38,310 were people killed, killed by terrorists, she said, on the 544 00:32:38,310 --> 00:32:41,880 subway and in buses. So well, how come you know? How come the 545 00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:45,420 terrorists who are apparently out to kill Americans only 546 00:32:45,420 --> 00:32:49,590 target airplanes? We got plenty of trains, we got buses, how 547 00:32:49,590 --> 00:32:52,800 come there's no security there? Because it's bullshit. 548 00:32:55,950 --> 00:32:59,130 Well, for a group of that that's out to kill Americans, it seems 549 00:32:59,130 --> 00:33:02,130 that they're the number of attacks that they've made on our 550 00:33:02,130 --> 00:33:06,180 shores is pretty low. I mean, although we do catch you know, 551 00:33:06,180 --> 00:33:09,360 these these, these idiots like that guy in Dallas, of course, 552 00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:11,280 that was gonna blow up a building, but the guy was 553 00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:16,470 obviously a subpar moron, who you know, somebody targeted. I 554 00:33:16,470 --> 00:33:18,840 mean, and I think you could probably do this with a lot of 555 00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:21,600 these guys, you find somebody with a really low IQ. And this 556 00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:24,150 is part of the course the, you gotta get the Patriot Act re 557 00:33:24,150 --> 00:33:26,250 passed. And so what you got is you have to have a few 558 00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:29,310 incidents. So they arrest that one guy out of Denver, then they 559 00:33:29,310 --> 00:33:32,220 find some guy plotting against something in Chicago. 560 00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:35,790 Coincidentally, yeah. And then they had this moron down in 561 00:33:35,790 --> 00:33:38,550 Dallas Fort Worth area that was gonna blow up this building. So 562 00:33:38,550 --> 00:33:42,270 they found some guy who is is going to be his handler. And you 563 00:33:42,270 --> 00:33:44,640 know, who was a government agent, and essentially, the 564 00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:47,220 government agent does everything. He buys him the 565 00:33:47,220 --> 00:33:50,370 bombs, he gets them, you know, he sets him up, he gets them all 566 00:33:50,370 --> 00:33:53,100 jacked up. Come on, buddy. We can do it. We can blow this 567 00:33:53,100 --> 00:33:56,130 place up. And the guy says, yeah, oh, good, duh. And the 568 00:33:56,130 --> 00:34:01,380 guy's an obvious, you know, probably a IQ of 80. And they he 569 00:34:01,380 --> 00:34:04,380 gets him to the point where he they planted this phony bomb, 570 00:34:04,380 --> 00:34:06,600 and then he hasn't pushed the button like he's gonna blow it. 571 00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:09,300 Okay, you're gonna get to blow it up. Here's the button trigger 572 00:34:09,300 --> 00:34:13,380 here. Take push it ready. 123 Push. Oh, didn't work. Oh, 573 00:34:13,590 --> 00:34:17,580 didn't work. Boom, you're under arrest. Yeah. And this would 574 00:34:17,580 --> 00:34:19,800 have happened if it wasn't for the other guy who was the 575 00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:22,890 American, the government guy that was doing all the heavy 576 00:34:22,890 --> 00:34:27,240 lifting? Yeah. There's a if you want to just grab people like 577 00:34:27,240 --> 00:34:29,670 that. There's a bunch of big talkers in the United States. 578 00:34:30,180 --> 00:34:33,150 You know, anyone who's ever been amongst a working class who has 579 00:34:33,210 --> 00:34:37,470 been in a factory or anything. There are so many blowhards in 580 00:34:37,470 --> 00:34:41,460 this country, that it's not hard to find one and then sucker him 581 00:34:41,460 --> 00:34:44,310 into doing something he probably wouldn't have done in a million 582 00:34:44,310 --> 00:34:46,950 years. And this is probably you know, some of the worst kinds of 583 00:34:46,950 --> 00:34:49,980 entrapment. I'm not saying this guy should be out roaming 584 00:34:49,980 --> 00:34:52,140 around. He's probably a dummy that should be locked up. But 585 00:34:52,140 --> 00:34:55,200 that's beside the point. I mean, you saw it with John DeLorean 586 00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:58,170 when he had his car coming. This was back in the 70s I believe. 587 00:34:58,500 --> 00:35:00,720 Where are you know, he was he was losing money they some 588 00:35:00,720 --> 00:35:05,010 government guy came up with this idea to talk him into, you know, 589 00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:09,720 let's get into the cocaine business. It's a real problem. 590 00:35:10,380 --> 00:35:16,290 All my life I do, right, this guy right into the sewer, when 591 00:35:16,290 --> 00:35:18,990 he probably wouldn't have done it on his own, I think is 592 00:35:18,990 --> 00:35:21,600 important. And that's what the we just kind of make people 593 00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:25,260 criminals. I don't see why we're making people criminals. 594 00:35:25,650 --> 00:35:30,420 Meanwhile, if you connect the dots, and you will not hear this 595 00:35:30,420 --> 00:35:35,910 on Fox News or on your beloved CNN, President Obama has 596 00:35:35,910 --> 00:35:39,360 consistently said that he did not want to make a decision 597 00:35:39,390 --> 00:35:43,800 about more troops in Afghanistan until the the elections were 598 00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:48,720 finalized. Now the elections this is Karzai, the guy who is 599 00:35:48,720 --> 00:35:51,780 co owner or his brother has all these hosts huge restaurant 600 00:35:51,780 --> 00:35:56,190 chain in the US. He's, you know, he owns the Toyota factory in 601 00:35:56,190 --> 00:35:59,130 Afghanistan. He owns he owns everything He's like, he's like 602 00:35:59,130 --> 00:36:02,940 the true warlord of business over there. And Karzai, of 603 00:36:02,940 --> 00:36:06,780 course, you know, as a as a shill worked for UNESCO was or 604 00:36:06,780 --> 00:36:12,210 Unocal was put in there to kind of manage the region. And so 605 00:36:12,240 --> 00:36:15,300 we're waiting for you know, they had this election, it's like 606 00:36:15,300 --> 00:36:18,420 there's been no real results. And it's like maybe there was 607 00:36:18,420 --> 00:36:24,330 some fraud. And now the UN official in Afghanistan Sunday 608 00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:29,100 acknowledged widespread fraud in the disputed presidential 609 00:36:29,130 --> 00:36:36,780 election and is rejecting allegations from a former deputy 610 00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:41,610 that he covered up the cheating to smooth the path to victory 611 00:36:41,610 --> 00:36:45,780 for President Hamid Karzai. Now, where do you think this UN 612 00:36:45,900 --> 00:36:48,180 official is from? John? 613 00:36:49,140 --> 00:36:50,430 I don't know. You tell me 614 00:36:50,460 --> 00:36:54,300 from Norway. Chi Elda. 615 00:36:55,050 --> 00:36:57,810 So you're getting Norway in some grand scheme? Yes. 616 00:36:58,110 --> 00:37:00,930 I'm telling you in Norway in Chicago, there's no 617 00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:04,530 Norway Chicago Obama axis 618 00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:09,660 I'm telling. It's the axis of Norwegian evil remarks by 619 00:37:09,660 --> 00:37:13,260 Norwegian diplomat chi l de appeared designed to win back 620 00:37:13,260 --> 00:37:16,620 respect for both the troubled UN mission and the entire election 621 00:37:16,620 --> 00:37:19,290 process ahead of a ruling by investigators and where their 622 00:37:19,290 --> 00:37:23,100 fraud was extensive enough in August, the August 20th 623 00:37:23,100 --> 00:37:27,330 balloting to require runoff. So here's a guy who was supposed to 624 00:37:27,540 --> 00:37:30,630 make sure that you know, there was no fraud and he tried to 625 00:37:30,630 --> 00:37:33,720 cover it up. He tried to cover it up. 626 00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:36,870 Maybe the Norwegians, you know, are so sick of making money from 627 00:37:36,870 --> 00:37:40,320 oil that they're looking for this drug connection. Maybe the 628 00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:42,540 Norwegians are supplying all the drugs in Chicago. 629 00:37:42,570 --> 00:37:45,240 Yeah, maybe they're just trying to expand their business. Yeah, 630 00:37:45,240 --> 00:37:45,690 you know, so 631 00:37:45,690 --> 00:37:46,860 what do you do? Yeah, 632 00:37:47,009 --> 00:37:50,549 you know, so, but these things you'll never hear about this? 633 00:37:50,879 --> 00:37:53,189 This is I consider this to be pretty big. 634 00:37:55,890 --> 00:37:57,810 Like, nobody cares, not 635 00:37:57,810 --> 00:38:01,650 insignificant, you know, there's definitely something to it. 636 00:38:02,790 --> 00:38:07,020 Now, what am I just take your shoes off, put them in the bin, 637 00:38:07,020 --> 00:38:09,000 don't put them in the bin, put them in the bin. Don't put them 638 00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:09,480 in the bin. 639 00:38:09,509 --> 00:38:12,929 I'm so confused. I don't know what to do. And maybe that's a 640 00:38:12,929 --> 00:38:16,919 part of it. Maybe they do it on purpose to confuse your ass. You 641 00:38:16,919 --> 00:38:17,069 know? 642 00:38:17,100 --> 00:38:19,800 Well, that was something somebody sent us a seat that CNN 643 00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:22,020 had you Did you read the you know, we have one of our 644 00:38:22,050 --> 00:38:27,810 producers as a hypnotist? Oh, yeah, I did. And he found the ad 645 00:38:27,810 --> 00:38:31,260 that CNN uses which, which is a very, which is an ad designed to 646 00:38:31,260 --> 00:38:32,820 confuse the brain? 647 00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:36,689 Oh, that's where they have it was the CNN ad. Yeah, I do have 648 00:38:36,689 --> 00:38:37,409 that. Hold on. 649 00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:40,110 Yeah, confused the brain and then you they hit you with a 650 00:38:40,140 --> 00:38:44,130 suggestion? You know, it's a very, I find it fascinating. I 651 00:38:44,130 --> 00:38:47,580 believe that we need to do a couple and I think I can I can 652 00:38:47,580 --> 00:38:51,150 reproduce kind of reproduce the style of that ad and make a no 653 00:38:51,150 --> 00:38:55,260 agenda ad, which will help maybe get us more contributions. Would 654 00:38:55,260 --> 00:38:58,200 you like me to see if I can pull that add up for a second? Yeah, 655 00:38:58,200 --> 00:38:59,880 it's in his email. Yeah. Why 656 00:38:59,880 --> 00:39:03,630 don't why don't you explain I kill some 657 00:39:03,630 --> 00:39:07,320 time I kill some containment that was telling people or while 658 00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:10,200 you were gone about your containment shell. And the fact 659 00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:13,590 that I believe that in San Francisco, all these lofts that 660 00:39:13,590 --> 00:39:15,690 are being built in there that you can, they all have the same 661 00:39:15,690 --> 00:39:19,500 basic style, the windows are off the ground. They're they're 662 00:39:19,500 --> 00:39:23,970 brick, they're made out of, you know, brick, most Not, not just 663 00:39:23,970 --> 00:39:28,440 not regular brick, but this kind of prison brick. And all you 664 00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:34,080 need to do is just put the some bars on the windows and you'll 665 00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:37,620 find that most of these lofts in San Francisco could easily be 666 00:39:37,620 --> 00:39:40,650 minimum security prisons. And I think I'm almost convinced that 667 00:39:40,650 --> 00:39:43,860 they were designed with that in mind. And you're in one of them. 668 00:39:43,890 --> 00:39:46,710 And that's what I pointed out to you and it even has the elevator 669 00:39:46,710 --> 00:39:49,230 where they can beat you up. I mean, it's just amazing. It's 670 00:39:49,230 --> 00:39:52,560 just a classic prison situation. 671 00:39:52,950 --> 00:39:56,250 Okay, I got it here. This is actually you blog. This is 672 00:39:56,250 --> 00:40:00,120 coming from your blog. So this is an Anderson Cooper 360 or As 673 00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:06,870 we say, ac 360. And it's well listen to I hope it'll because 674 00:40:06,870 --> 00:40:10,950 YouTube sometimes doesn't do stereo. So let's see if it'll, 675 00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:14,640 I think is ninja did stereos it makes it I don't think it has to 676 00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:15,690 be in stereo to work. 677 00:40:16,110 --> 00:40:19,260 You know, I disagree. I think what you hear through left ear 678 00:40:19,260 --> 00:40:22,350 and through right ear has profound different effects. Now 679 00:40:22,350 --> 00:40:25,050 maybe because you know the right ear goes to the left brain and 680 00:40:25,050 --> 00:40:28,110 left to go to the right brain and those brain halves do have 681 00:40:28,110 --> 00:40:30,690 different functions. Well, let's hear what it sounds 682 00:40:30,690 --> 00:40:35,160 like lifelong. The issue that matters most to me is national 683 00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:38,670 security. Unfortunately, many of the politicians running the 684 00:40:38,670 --> 00:40:42,480 government are almost difficult to trust sometimes. That's why I 685 00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:46,980 watch Anderson Cooper 360. On CNN, every weeknight at 10 ac 686 00:40:46,980 --> 00:40:50,220 360 brings you the news from different perspectives. I 687 00:40:50,220 --> 00:40:53,220 especially like keeping them honest, because whenever one of 688 00:40:53,220 --> 00:40:56,160 those right wing politicians plays with their facts, they're 689 00:40:56,160 --> 00:41:00,330 held accountable ac 360 weeknights a 10 only on CNN. 690 00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:01,110 It's actually 691 00:41:01,110 --> 00:41:03,720 it's what Alex Jones would describe as the left right 692 00:41:03,720 --> 00:41:06,270 paradigm, which is why I find the actual separation of 693 00:41:06,270 --> 00:41:09,210 channels an interesting concept because you literally are 694 00:41:09,210 --> 00:41:12,600 talking about left and right and what would it be interesting, 695 00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:15,690 and you have to get the original John and see if you can find out 696 00:41:15,690 --> 00:41:19,800 what's playing a white on which channel because if the if the 697 00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:23,460 woman who says left actually appears in your right ear and 698 00:41:23,460 --> 00:41:25,680 the man who says right appears in your left ear, there's 699 00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:27,990 something to that that is not unimportant. 700 00:41:28,410 --> 00:41:30,900 Yeah, it might be because you have a left brain, it's like it 701 00:41:30,900 --> 00:41:33,480 has a certain mentality. And the right brain has a different one. 702 00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:36,090 So you could kind of appeal to both of them through the 703 00:41:36,090 --> 00:41:39,660 different ears and then consolidate your message at the 704 00:41:39,660 --> 00:41:42,840 end. So you have like confused the way it was described as you 705 00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:46,620 have confusion, confusion, confusion, confusion, and then 706 00:41:46,620 --> 00:41:49,620 the brain is going I don't know what to do. And then then 707 00:41:49,620 --> 00:41:53,160 consolidation where the and the information is identical. 708 00:41:53,790 --> 00:41:57,540 But speaking of CNN, and this was a fabulous report that came 709 00:41:57,540 --> 00:42:00,360 out, which I think is something that's very important for our 710 00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:04,410 audience, our producers, women who perform the act of fellatio 711 00:42:04,410 --> 00:42:08,490 and swallow semen on a regular basis, one to two times a week 712 00:42:08,490 --> 00:42:11,940 may reduce their risk of breast cancer by up to 40%. 713 00:42:12,210 --> 00:42:15,780 Yeah. Yeah, that was a hoax. You know? 714 00:42:16,110 --> 00:42:18,120 Yeah. From the Associated Press 715 00:42:18,630 --> 00:42:20,430 was never Associated Press story. 716 00:42:20,460 --> 00:42:25,620 It says right here, it's an AP story to what it says. And it's 717 00:42:25,620 --> 00:42:26,940 on cnn.com. 718 00:42:27,900 --> 00:42:30,570 I'm telling I know, that began as a hoax, and somehow it got 719 00:42:30,570 --> 00:42:31,530 into the mainstream. 720 00:42:31,590 --> 00:42:35,040 And it's from a study from the North Carolina State University. 721 00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:38,100 It's just if it really is a hoax, that's great, because you 722 00:42:38,100 --> 00:42:40,200 can just say something's from the North Carolina State 723 00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:44,250 University and get your shit on AP and CNN. And apparently, they 724 00:42:44,250 --> 00:42:49,650 studied over 15,000 women. John Dwight, John, I think we have to 725 00:42:49,650 --> 00:42:54,210 test this theory. I think we need to get a few of our we have 726 00:42:54,210 --> 00:42:59,130 well, we have like nine female listeners. We need to we need to 727 00:42:59,130 --> 00:43:02,670 study them over the course or a few years to see if this is 728 00:43:02,670 --> 00:43:05,670 actually true. This is for Science, John, we cannot just 729 00:43:05,670 --> 00:43:06,930 overlook these things. 730 00:43:07,140 --> 00:43:14,490 Yeah, for validation, validation purposes. So I guess this is 731 00:43:14,490 --> 00:43:17,280 good a moment as any for the pea pod. 732 00:43:17,850 --> 00:43:21,600 Okay, everybody, it's time for x. 733 00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:27,180 Okay, here's the deal. That finally it just actually got to 734 00:43:27,180 --> 00:43:31,620 me a couple of weeks ago, and then I heard this ad. 735 00:43:33,630 --> 00:43:36,930 With Ragu, you can give your kids veggies they'll actually 736 00:43:36,930 --> 00:43:41,370 eat. Ragu has more than a full serving of veggies in every half 737 00:43:41,370 --> 00:43:45,720 cup. So give them a good start with all natural Ragu feed our 738 00:43:45,720 --> 00:43:46,500 kids well. 739 00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:52,080 Veggies when it veggies become like a mainstream term. Oh 740 00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:56,520 veggies what is it? These people six years old? You know I saw it 741 00:43:56,520 --> 00:43:59,220 start seeing this word veggies cropping up and you hear all the 742 00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:03,720 vegans also Oh, veggies veggies. Oh, I've got my veggies and I 743 00:44:03,720 --> 00:44:07,620 saw what really got to me was on Yelp. They used to you see these 744 00:44:07,620 --> 00:44:10,320 older the veggies are really good. What veggies what's 745 00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:12,840 veggies, I don't get what veggies is It's like somebody 746 00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:15,570 saying what do you like to eat? I like the meat. It doesn't mean 747 00:44:15,570 --> 00:44:20,250 anything. But the term veggies is so kind of like third grade 748 00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:25,260 that it just galls me it just irks me to hear grown women say 749 00:44:25,260 --> 00:44:28,440 veggies and then they when I heard this commercial it just 750 00:44:28,620 --> 00:44:31,440 took me over the top and by the way also when you do a Yelp 751 00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:34,350 post, there's a little I think you can say a little more than 752 00:44:34,350 --> 00:44:41,100 the word yum. To describe the meal. Is that it? Yeah, John 753 00:44:41,100 --> 00:44:42,480 cedars borax. 754 00:44:45,180 --> 00:44:48,960 It's a part of the dumbing down of the masses. John it's so 755 00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:53,220 incredibly clear. It's just it's just to make men to make a 756 00:44:53,220 --> 00:45:02,220 stupid we're stupid apparently. Veggies head veggies. Yeah. And 757 00:45:02,220 --> 00:45:05,880 it's in Ragu, which sounds pretty ominous, 758 00:45:07,589 --> 00:45:10,859 full serving, whatever that means. I guess they're counting 759 00:45:10,859 --> 00:45:14,189 tomatoes as veggies when in fact are fruit. 760 00:45:14,399 --> 00:45:18,359 Speaking of commercials. John Granada's, I think as I 761 00:45:18,359 --> 00:45:21,539 pronounced that one of our producers, says, you might want 762 00:45:21,539 --> 00:45:26,849 to take a look at the new format for drug ads on Hulu. He said, I 763 00:45:26,849 --> 00:45:30,479 don't watch Hulu, because I, maybe I should to watch some 764 00:45:30,479 --> 00:45:30,989 good. You have 765 00:45:30,989 --> 00:45:32,369 a real TV? Yeah, 766 00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:36,210 I got a television. And I tried to keep that off. It's much 767 00:45:36,210 --> 00:45:39,960 safer. He says last night when he was watching cops to improve 768 00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:44,160 his Taser avoidance techniques. Software. That's the one I love 769 00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:48,360 our listeners. He saw for the first time one of these new ads, 770 00:45:48,390 --> 00:45:53,250 and it includes a screenshot. And he included a screenshot of 771 00:45:53,250 --> 00:45:57,060 it, but the spot is a minute 15. So it's that new format, of 772 00:45:57,060 --> 00:46:02,490 which 50 seconds is the is all the disclaimer. So you get like 773 00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:05,280 15 seconds as a sales pitch and 774 00:46:05,819 --> 00:46:13,829 55 zero. So this was 20 seconds was or 25 seconds was actual 775 00:46:13,829 --> 00:46:16,799 commercial and the remainder of the time. So long commercial. 776 00:46:16,829 --> 00:46:20,969 Yeah, well, it's one of those new minute 15 things but they're 777 00:46:20,969 --> 00:46:27,269 now also has on the Hulu ad, they have a scroll bar, that 778 00:46:27,299 --> 00:46:30,839 that actually now gives you the text of all of the negative 779 00:46:30,839 --> 00:46:34,799 effects of the camera. Oh, wow. Yeah. Including right upper 780 00:46:34,799 --> 00:46:41,369 belly pain. I love that. I thought that was a pretty 781 00:46:41,369 --> 00:46:46,109 interesting. So who's gonna make a bundle off of that? Really, 782 00:46:46,109 --> 00:46:48,749 that's it's, I got to I got a credit for 783 00:46:48,750 --> 00:46:52,320 the only two countries in the world that allow this sort of 784 00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:55,530 advertising. It's banned. And it used to be banned in the United 785 00:46:55,530 --> 00:46:58,200 States. But now the United States and New Zealand of all 786 00:46:58,200 --> 00:47:01,710 places are the two countries in the world that allow this sort 787 00:47:01,710 --> 00:47:06,930 of really onerous drug company advertising to get people to 788 00:47:07,080 --> 00:47:11,760 hound their doctor. When I saw it on TV, and I wasn't right for 789 00:47:11,760 --> 00:47:14,400 me. I mean, is it right for me? 790 00:47:14,939 --> 00:47:20,489 So here's what some financial analysts are saying about the 791 00:47:20,489 --> 00:47:25,859 pharmaceutical industry. Pharmaceuticals have shown their 792 00:47:25,859 --> 00:47:30,119 defensive colors in the downturn with no sign yet of late cycle 793 00:47:30,119 --> 00:47:34,619 hit to revenues. Here's a UBS analyst our initial view was 794 00:47:34,619 --> 00:47:36,719 that we would see something by the third quarter but it's 795 00:47:36,719 --> 00:47:38,909 starting to feel like that's not going to happen in other words, 796 00:47:38,909 --> 00:47:42,149 a downturn in fact, drug sales are now expected to grow by four 797 00:47:42,149 --> 00:47:44,729 and a half to five and a half percent this year in the all 798 00:47:44,729 --> 00:47:48,809 important US market. According to IMS Health leading Trends 799 00:47:48,809 --> 00:47:52,259 Report drugged up you all important. It's very very 800 00:47:52,259 --> 00:47:55,319 important. Only six months ago, IMS was predicting a one to 2% 801 00:47:55,319 --> 00:48:00,689 fall. And oh man it's it's oh here Credit Suisse analysts, 802 00:48:00,689 --> 00:48:03,749 Catherine Arnold said the average price increase for major 803 00:48:03,749 --> 00:48:09,749 US Drug companies and third quarter was 8.7%. So they're 804 00:48:09,749 --> 00:48:14,789 going gangbusters gangbusters. I tell you, and you wonder why? 805 00:48:14,940 --> 00:48:18,150 Well, yeah, well, you make the public sick. Yes. You know, yes. 806 00:48:18,150 --> 00:48:21,840 scare him to death with swine flu crap. You make him sick with 807 00:48:21,840 --> 00:48:27,090 lousy food, and you know, veggies. And then the next thing 808 00:48:27,090 --> 00:48:30,240 you know, they they, they're ill and they need to take drugs. 809 00:48:30,419 --> 00:48:33,419 Well, you don't even need to take drugs. But yeah, if not 810 00:48:33,419 --> 00:48:33,689 what they're 811 00:48:33,690 --> 00:48:35,820 sold a bill of goods about the drugs. I got a million 812 00:48:35,820 --> 00:48:39,630 commercials. Yeah, I wanted we play him all the time. And it's 813 00:48:39,630 --> 00:48:42,240 just like, why do you need this drug? I mean, they still like, 814 00:48:42,240 --> 00:48:46,470 you know, the Restless Leg Syndrome drug is a classic. Who 815 00:48:46,470 --> 00:48:47,910 develops these things? 816 00:48:49,710 --> 00:48:51,990 Well, drug companies, 817 00:48:52,140 --> 00:48:55,170 and what I mean, I just like go I look, I think I got a theory 818 00:48:55,170 --> 00:48:59,190 here. But we can, we can make this drug for restless legs 819 00:48:59,190 --> 00:49:01,230 syndrome. And there's this many people and I can imagine the 820 00:49:01,230 --> 00:49:02,700 meetings, you know what the meetings are like, you're 821 00:49:02,700 --> 00:49:05,520 meeting guy. They go into there and they got the whiteboard. And 822 00:49:05,520 --> 00:49:08,130 they're showing the numbers of people that have restless legs 823 00:49:08,160 --> 00:49:10,710 syndrome and how much money they can make per pill because it'd 824 00:49:10,710 --> 00:49:13,260 be 10 bucks a pill. And then they say, Well, how many people 825 00:49:13,260 --> 00:49:16,680 can we convince have restless leg syndrome? And Holy mackerel, 826 00:49:16,680 --> 00:49:19,140 look at the size of that market? All right, let's do it. 827 00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:24,840 Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. What is his position in government? 828 00:49:26,370 --> 00:49:30,780 He is a representative of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. 829 00:49:31,470 --> 00:49:36,180 Okay, so he's not a he's not somewhere. Well, let's 830 00:49:36,180 --> 00:49:39,270 look him up on Wikipedia. Maybe he's got in somewhere. 831 00:49:39,390 --> 00:49:44,430 Well, because you mentioned the meeting and he has been standing 832 00:49:44,430 --> 00:49:47,790 outside I guess the capital I'm waiting for this page to load. 833 00:49:48,210 --> 00:49:55,080 And he is all over this secret meeting that the vaccine 834 00:49:55,110 --> 00:50:00,450 producers had offs and offsite meeting known as an off site And 835 00:50:00,450 --> 00:50:03,450 they had this meeting where they actually discussed how to cover 836 00:50:03,450 --> 00:50:08,340 up the fact that the minute traces of mercury in 837 00:50:08,370 --> 00:50:12,060 vaccinations, not necessarily the h one n one, but that they 838 00:50:12,060 --> 00:50:16,200 knew that they know that it causes autism. And I'm going to 839 00:50:16,200 --> 00:50:18,330 play a little bit of this because it's pretty compelling 840 00:50:18,330 --> 00:50:20,940 stuff. And you have to you have to watch it. I will put the link 841 00:50:20,940 --> 00:50:22,800 in the show notes. Thank you very much. 842 00:50:24,480 --> 00:50:28,830 I'm so happy to see all of you out here today, finally telling 843 00:50:28,830 --> 00:50:31,590 the truth to this Congress, which needs to hear the truth 844 00:50:31,590 --> 00:50:36,930 for the first time. The government scientists are 845 00:50:36,930 --> 00:50:41,040 acknowledging that even tiny, infinitesimal amounts of mercury 846 00:50:41,070 --> 00:50:44,820 Mercury parts per billion will cause profound neurological 847 00:50:44,820 --> 00:50:49,620 injury in children. And I was working on these issues. And I'm 848 00:50:49,620 --> 00:50:53,190 mothers started coming up to me and said, you know, the biggest 849 00:50:53,190 --> 00:50:57,090 exposure is not coming from power plants, or old mining 850 00:50:57,090 --> 00:51:00,540 claims, as you might think it's coming from our own vaccines. 851 00:51:00,990 --> 00:51:04,860 And they asked me to work on it until just to look into it. And 852 00:51:04,860 --> 00:51:08,730 they were not hysterical people. They were scientists, they were 853 00:51:08,730 --> 00:51:11,160 doctors. They were psychiatrists. They were 854 00:51:11,160 --> 00:51:14,700 pharmacists. They were people who had had their feet on the 855 00:51:14,700 --> 00:51:18,330 ground. They had attended the conferences, they had read the 856 00:51:18,330 --> 00:51:23,730 scientific literature, they had calmly and deliberately gone 857 00:51:23,730 --> 00:51:26,970 through this, and they had reached a conclusion. And the 858 00:51:26,970 --> 00:51:30,660 conclusion was that the vaccines were destroying the health we're 859 00:51:30,660 --> 00:51:33,870 making the sickest generation of American children in the history 860 00:51:33,870 --> 00:51:36,930 of our country. Now listen to this shit about the man I 861 00:51:36,930 --> 00:51:42,120 started looking into it. And somebody provided me with the, 862 00:51:43,140 --> 00:51:48,360 with the Simpson would memo, Google that John Simpson board 863 00:51:48,360 --> 00:51:51,450 members in Rolling Stone and Simpson Wood was the transcripts 864 00:51:51,480 --> 00:51:56,610 of a secret meeting that was held between CDC and 75. 865 00:51:57,150 --> 00:52:01,380 Representatives of the vaccine industry, in which they reviewed 866 00:52:01,410 --> 00:52:06,210 a report that CDC had ordered the Stratton study will have 867 00:52:06,210 --> 00:52:10,920 100,000 children in the United States vaccine safety database. 868 00:52:11,730 --> 00:52:15,480 And when they looked at it themselves, they said it is 869 00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:18,660 impossible. This is a quote to massage this data to make the 870 00:52:18,660 --> 00:52:19,980 signal go away. 871 00:52:20,940 --> 00:52:23,730 I think I see little red laser.on his forehead? Well. 872 00:52:25,620 --> 00:52:28,920 It's a little unclear on the video. It's a great it's a great 873 00:52:28,920 --> 00:52:31,710 speech he does and that's he's really out there and this 874 00:52:31,830 --> 00:52:36,300 Simpson Woods memo is interesting stuff. The CDC, 875 00:52:36,300 --> 00:52:40,530 colluded with 75 vaccine manufacturers how to cover this 876 00:52:40,530 --> 00:52:46,200 up. You know, and then you get people like Jenny McCarthy, 877 00:52:46,470 --> 00:52:50,460 who's married to Jim Carrey, and they have a kid with autism. And 878 00:52:50,460 --> 00:52:52,560 then you know, and then she's trying to get the message out 879 00:52:52,560 --> 00:52:55,110 saying, hey, you know, we're, you know, we're giving our kids 880 00:52:55,110 --> 00:53:00,210 28 vaccines before they're 18 months old. You know, the logic 881 00:53:00,210 --> 00:53:05,130 points to some issues here. And then just Google Jenny McCarthy 882 00:53:05,130 --> 00:53:05,760 and yeah, no, 883 00:53:05,760 --> 00:53:11,040 not making a big, a lot of noise about this. Yeah. But so yeah, 884 00:53:11,040 --> 00:53:13,260 they got her marginalizes a crackpot. 885 00:53:13,290 --> 00:53:16,320 That's what I'm saying the Google nutcase or crackpot and 886 00:53:16,320 --> 00:53:20,550 Jenny McCarthy and she's it you know, she's Oh, she's crazy. 887 00:53:25,050 --> 00:53:26,880 That's good stuff, though. I have no idea what 888 00:53:27,360 --> 00:53:30,210 Well, I'm sure that you know, with Kennedy, you know, he's a, 889 00:53:30,690 --> 00:53:35,340 he's a do gooder. Yeah. And a sincere one. I mean, I think 890 00:53:35,340 --> 00:53:37,560 he's wrong about a lot of stuff I've heard him talk about but 891 00:53:37,560 --> 00:53:42,540 and he's very socialist, but he is thorough and good 892 00:53:42,540 --> 00:53:47,730 troublemaker. He He's because he has all kinds of creds and if 893 00:53:47,730 --> 00:53:50,790 he's looking into this, this is gonna be interesting to see how 894 00:53:50,790 --> 00:53:55,320 that works out because that is a little more that they're gonna 895 00:53:55,320 --> 00:53:58,830 have a trouble tarring him with the Jenny McCarthy crackpot 896 00:53:58,890 --> 00:53:59,850 paintbrush 897 00:53:59,880 --> 00:54:02,940 well particularly when you when you read this memo, you know 898 00:54:02,940 --> 00:54:08,550 this this memo about the meeting that they held off site they 899 00:54:08,550 --> 00:54:11,550 held it off of site specifically because then they thought there 900 00:54:11,550 --> 00:54:15,480 would be immune from a Freedom of Information Act request. 901 00:54:16,500 --> 00:54:18,990 So did you see they have now they have like three or four or 902 00:54:18,990 --> 00:54:23,640 five of these different swine flu vaccines and they had all 903 00:54:23,640 --> 00:54:25,680 these different manufacturers this I wish I had this law 904 00:54:25,680 --> 00:54:27,990 article in front of me but I was like hold on one second 905 00:54:27,990 --> 00:54:36,090 gentlemen. Yeah, so they have these you know they SmithKline 906 00:54:36,090 --> 00:54:38,280 all these different Glaxo all these different companies that 907 00:54:38,280 --> 00:54:41,430 make this swine flu and then they said and they have one 908 00:54:41,460 --> 00:54:46,320 batch of it that is the only one that is thermo so the mercury 909 00:54:46,320 --> 00:54:52,020 free and it has a no no adjuvants and mercury free and 910 00:54:52,200 --> 00:54:54,720 who do you think was the manufacturer of that one? 911 00:54:54,750 --> 00:55:00,810 Let me Could it be Baxter is cracked up You got to send me 912 00:55:00,810 --> 00:55:03,960 that link. We're gonna put that in the show notes. Baxter, who 913 00:55:03,960 --> 00:55:08,460 of course actually tried to kill people by spreading the live 914 00:55:08,460 --> 00:55:12,270 vaccine and got away with it and their stock price is through the 915 00:55:12,270 --> 00:55:12,930 roof. 916 00:55:14,130 --> 00:55:17,700 Yeah, they make the good stuff apparently. 917 00:55:17,760 --> 00:55:21,210 Yeah, yeah, they make the well there was another link Hold on. 918 00:55:21,630 --> 00:55:26,940 Here it is San Jose Mercury News. Headline us could 919 00:55:26,940 --> 00:55:30,990 potentially use controversial adjuvants and swine flu vaccine. 920 00:55:31,170 --> 00:55:33,390 So of course, we've been promised that no adjuvants would 921 00:55:33,390 --> 00:55:36,840 be put in but it's very simple to see how the strategy is going 922 00:55:36,840 --> 00:55:40,320 to work. Oh, we don't have enough vaccine. People are 923 00:55:40,320 --> 00:55:44,490 getting sick people are dying. We have oh my gosh, in Oklahoma, 924 00:55:44,490 --> 00:55:48,000 there's children are dropping dead on the streets. Queue up 925 00:55:48,000 --> 00:55:51,600 that old video again of the three kids. Yeah, the Oklahoma 926 00:55:51,600 --> 00:55:54,180 video The World Health Organization estimates that a 927 00:55:54,180 --> 00:55:59,790 worldwide production capacity of 3 billion doses. John, we are. I 928 00:55:59,790 --> 00:56:03,510 mean, I I want to apologize to the listeners. When I said you 929 00:56:03,510 --> 00:56:06,600 should invest in gold, I'm sorry, you should have of course 930 00:56:06,600 --> 00:56:10,710 completely invested in these pharmaceutical companies. 3 931 00:56:10,740 --> 00:56:15,690 billion doses of pandemic h one n one vaccine will be used to 932 00:56:15,690 --> 00:56:20,670 prevent the outbreak and spread of the 2009 h one n one flu or 933 00:56:20,670 --> 00:56:24,270 swine flu. This ambitious plan for widespread vaccine will be 934 00:56:24,300 --> 00:56:28,680 inadequate for a total population of 6.8 billion people 935 00:56:28,800 --> 00:56:33,150 has drawn criticism regarding the vaccine safety. So here's 936 00:56:33,150 --> 00:56:37,470 the strategy. Oh my gosh, it's working so well. But people who 937 00:56:37,470 --> 00:56:40,680 don't have it don't have access to the vaccine, they don't have 938 00:56:40,680 --> 00:56:45,630 access. They're dying, we only have one way to go, we can 939 00:56:45,630 --> 00:56:49,110 produce it fast enough. John, do you have an idea? Do you have a 940 00:56:49,110 --> 00:56:50,250 solution? 941 00:56:51,150 --> 00:56:54,060 We use lots of weird adjuvants 942 00:56:54,150 --> 00:56:56,790 at the hamburger helper of the vaccine industry. 943 00:56:57,030 --> 00:56:59,190 You know what's going to happen here? Because there's already 944 00:56:59,190 --> 00:57:03,720 been a number of huge populations that have said, 945 00:57:03,720 --> 00:57:06,510 Look, we don't we don't want this stupid shot. And the thing 946 00:57:06,510 --> 00:57:08,550 that's interesting about it is that, you know, the swine flu 947 00:57:08,550 --> 00:57:12,210 came up last year. And they and there's always this thing about 948 00:57:12,210 --> 00:57:16,080 why you know it, unlike every other flu, for some unknown 949 00:57:16,080 --> 00:57:20,130 reason, it doesn't go away. Even though the 1918 Flu did it, it 950 00:57:20,130 --> 00:57:23,430 had a two year life cycle. So what you're gonna run into is, I 951 00:57:23,430 --> 00:57:26,730 think there's going to be another round of applause for 952 00:57:26,730 --> 00:57:31,620 this for the stage one and one next year, I can almost assure 953 00:57:31,620 --> 00:57:35,910 you of this, we can make a note, put a.on this show. And by this 954 00:57:35,910 --> 00:57:39,480 time, next year, the thing will be coming around again, in a 955 00:57:39,480 --> 00:57:42,510 more virulent form. And we're going to have and apparently not 956 00:57:42,510 --> 00:57:46,020 everybody got their shots last year, and we've got to stick 957 00:57:46,110 --> 00:57:47,970 because they gotta get rid of these shots. I mean, you don't 958 00:57:47,970 --> 00:57:53,490 make, you know, three, 4 billion, you know, copies of 959 00:57:53,490 --> 00:57:58,560 this flu have to be distributed and only sell half of it. You 960 00:57:58,590 --> 00:58:03,330 you what do you do with the rest of it? You can need to shoot it 961 00:58:03,330 --> 00:58:06,990 up, you know, next year. So this one's going around. And that's 962 00:58:07,200 --> 00:58:09,480 what you need the Thermacell and therefore, because it needs to 963 00:58:09,480 --> 00:58:10,860 preserve it for a year. 964 00:58:11,760 --> 00:58:15,870 This is a good article that's in in Mercury News. And of course, 965 00:58:15,870 --> 00:58:18,540 that'll be in the show notes that no agenda show.com. In 966 00:58:18,540 --> 00:58:21,660 testimony before Congress in 2001, the FDA needed to make a 967 00:58:21,660 --> 00:58:24,360 decision on the safety of adjuvants, so manufacturers 968 00:58:24,360 --> 00:58:27,180 could know whether they could include them in vaccines or not, 969 00:58:27,180 --> 00:58:30,360 quote, it seems that the FDA and the manufacturers have been 970 00:58:30,360 --> 00:58:34,170 waiting for a pandemic to solve the problem for them. It was 971 00:58:34,170 --> 00:58:37,320 going to be the avian flu. And this is testimony before 972 00:58:37,320 --> 00:58:37,830 Congress. No, 973 00:58:37,830 --> 00:58:40,830 you know, we discussed this, I think like four or five months 974 00:58:40,830 --> 00:58:44,340 ago with this exact same thesis. Yeah. 975 00:58:46,530 --> 00:58:50,940 An adjuvant vaccine for h five and one avian flu was approved 976 00:58:50,940 --> 00:58:54,450 in many countries, but the disease never spread person to 977 00:58:54,450 --> 00:58:59,460 person. Damn, damn, damn, damn, drat. Back to the drawing board. 978 00:58:59,820 --> 00:59:03,480 Baxter. Can you guys hook us up? So then swine flu came along 979 00:59:03,600 --> 00:59:07,740 Glaxo, Novartis got another bite of the cherry. And of course, 980 00:59:07,740 --> 00:59:10,200 once the adjuvants get into licensed products in the US, 981 00:59:10,200 --> 00:59:13,740 they'll become part of all sorts of novel vaccines for cancer and 982 00:59:13,740 --> 00:59:17,520 non infectious diseases. They're just waiting to roll this shit 983 00:59:17,520 --> 00:59:19,290 out. It's no they roll they need 984 00:59:19,290 --> 00:59:22,530 to do they really want to I mean, we said this before, when 985 00:59:22,530 --> 00:59:26,340 this whole swine flu thing began, which was this is a scam 986 00:59:26,340 --> 00:59:29,910 of some sort. And the adjuvant part of it seems to be one of 987 00:59:29,910 --> 00:59:34,050 the elements and the fact that you know that in the coincidence 988 00:59:34,050 --> 00:59:37,410 that all of a sudden backs are sending out regular vaccines 989 00:59:37,410 --> 00:59:41,910 with h five and one in them which would have triggered the h 990 00:59:41,910 --> 00:59:43,320 one. Oh, they 991 00:59:43,350 --> 00:59:45,330 know it was h one n one. No, it was h 992 00:59:45,330 --> 00:59:47,670 five n Well, I'm sure it was wasn't it? It was it was bird 993 00:59:47,670 --> 00:59:48,060 flu. 994 00:59:49,470 --> 00:59:50,610 Era irrelevant. 995 00:59:51,089 --> 00:59:53,609 They will besides the point they were trying to get something for 996 00:59:53,609 --> 00:59:57,989 spreading we we feel even though no, it was an accident. And you 997 00:59:57,989 --> 01:00:00,359 know, we'll take their word for it. There was no way that they 998 01:00:00,359 --> 01:00:03,569 could possibly be doing that. So we're going to that's what we're 999 01:00:03,629 --> 01:00:06,749 that's what we stick by. Although we don't believe it 1000 01:00:11,340 --> 01:00:12,540 just wanted to close it off. 1001 01:00:13,320 --> 01:00:14,190 It's probably best. 1002 01:00:15,360 --> 01:00:18,030 So one more little piece of outrage which you will not hear 1003 01:00:18,030 --> 01:00:20,340 about because of course we're too busy talking about are we 1004 01:00:20,340 --> 01:00:23,040 still talking about the Nobel Peace Prize? Or is it time? I'm 1005 01:00:23,040 --> 01:00:26,790 not It's not isn't a time for another distraction. We need 1006 01:00:26,790 --> 01:00:28,980 another one. We need something to distract from what's 1007 01:00:28,980 --> 01:00:30,090 happening right now? 1008 01:00:30,120 --> 01:00:32,430 Well, let's see, Britney Spears is out of the picture. So that's 1009 01:00:32,430 --> 01:00:35,220 no good net Kate Plus eight I think is lost. And I think 1010 01:00:35,220 --> 01:00:38,100 they've lost her momentum. And 1011 01:00:38,400 --> 01:00:41,130 Jeff is doing pretty good, though. Man, I 1012 01:00:41,130 --> 01:00:41,790 don't watch it. 1013 01:00:43,739 --> 01:00:47,189 No one is talking about it. But it's happening. AIG is about to 1014 01:00:47,189 --> 01:00:51,719 hand out another round of bonuses, which averages out to 1015 01:00:51,719 --> 01:00:56,399 about $50,000 per person in the company. And even the lunch lady 1016 01:00:56,399 --> 01:00:59,489 is getting a $7,000 bonus. And of course, these are retention 1017 01:00:59,489 --> 01:01:02,369 bonuses. And you know, you can't have the lunch lady leaving the 1018 01:01:02,369 --> 01:01:04,079 company. Really, what 1019 01:01:04,080 --> 01:01:07,050 would you do? Yeah, because it's so hard. You know, it's hard to 1020 01:01:07,050 --> 01:01:09,960 get lunch. You can't find anyone to hire because there's nobody 1021 01:01:09,960 --> 01:01:12,930 that there's nobody unemployed amongst the 20%. 1022 01:01:14,190 --> 01:01:19,920 So while this is happening, court documents, and this is 1023 01:01:19,920 --> 01:01:24,180 about the the previous round of bullshit bonuses. Oh, crap. My, 1024 01:01:24,750 --> 01:01:29,760 my browser just bricked. Court documents are showing that 1025 01:01:30,120 --> 01:01:35,070 Bernanke and Paulson knew about the bonuses before they forced 1026 01:01:35,340 --> 01:01:40,020 Merrill Lynch to be acquired by Bank of America. And they so 1027 01:01:40,020 --> 01:01:42,780 they lied about these people should be fired. Well, they 1028 01:01:42,780 --> 01:01:45,600 should be thrown in jail. They lied about it. They allowed 1029 01:01:45,630 --> 01:01:48,570 they'd lie here. Court documents show that federal regulators 1030 01:01:48,570 --> 01:01:51,630 were told about billions of dollars in bonuses awarded to 1031 01:01:51,630 --> 01:01:54,810 Merrill Lynch executives during the company's takeover by Bank 1032 01:01:54,810 --> 01:01:58,080 of America contradicting statements by Congress by 1033 01:01:58,080 --> 01:02:02,010 Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke. And former Treasury 1034 01:02:02,010 --> 01:02:07,080 Secretary Henry M. Paulson, Jr. They knew about the 20 about the 1035 01:02:07,080 --> 01:02:12,210 bonuses before. So that would they knew it on December 17 1036 01:02:12,240 --> 01:02:14,760 weeks before the government approved the $20 billion 1037 01:02:15,060 --> 01:02:17,250 bailout. And then of course, when those bonuses happened, 1038 01:02:17,250 --> 01:02:21,780 like, ooh, and no one's given the bonuses back. Remember, they 1039 01:02:21,780 --> 01:02:24,240 were supposed to give the bonuses back. No one's given the 1040 01:02:24,240 --> 01:02:28,170 bonuses back. It's all reported in mainstream news. It'll be in 1041 01:02:28,170 --> 01:02:31,350 the in the show notes at no agenda show.com. 1042 01:02:31,740 --> 01:02:34,890 And nobody seems to be outraged by anything. No, but 1043 01:02:34,919 --> 01:02:37,709 but now they're about to do another round of bonuses. Why 1044 01:02:37,709 --> 01:02:42,149 not? It's just, I would, but how come no one's angry. 1045 01:02:43,080 --> 01:02:45,570 I'd be lying if I was running one of these companies. And I'm 1046 01:02:45,570 --> 01:02:48,180 looking around and looking at all these people, you know, 1047 01:02:48,180 --> 01:02:51,000 scattering around, you know, worried about their shoes in the 1048 01:02:51,000 --> 01:02:54,420 bin, and all the rest of it. I just be Jamie taking all the 1049 01:02:54,420 --> 01:02:57,720 money and passing it amongst all my buddies. And then buying 1050 01:02:57,720 --> 01:03:00,780 yachts and boats and trips to Europe and Matt have a great 1051 01:03:00,780 --> 01:03:04,350 time. Yeah, yeah, you're right. Nobody cares. Nobody seems to 1052 01:03:04,350 --> 01:03:06,360 care. They don't want to they don't want to do anything about 1053 01:03:06,450 --> 01:03:09,270 looking at the books of the Fed. Because heaven forbid anyone do 1054 01:03:09,270 --> 01:03:11,940 that. God knows why. I mean, what are they? What are they 1055 01:03:11,940 --> 01:03:15,060 trying to hide? That's what I know. It's becoming mysterious. 1056 01:03:15,060 --> 01:03:15,540 Yeah. 1057 01:03:16,379 --> 01:03:20,519 Our friend, slick Willie Brown said something very interesting 1058 01:03:20,519 --> 01:03:26,159 on October 11. As he was being interviewed, he would you 1059 01:03:26,160 --> 01:03:29,040 like to do another. He's been dropping little bombs here and 1060 01:03:29,040 --> 01:03:31,560 there. Because I'm using well, he dropped a rather familiar 1061 01:03:31,560 --> 01:03:31,920 bomb 1062 01:03:31,950 --> 01:03:35,550 package, which hasn't been spent yet. I think maybe only about 1063 01:03:35,550 --> 01:03:40,710 20% of it has been spent. I would be doing jobs, jobs, jobs. 1064 01:03:43,980 --> 01:03:48,210 Jobs, jobs and jobs. Let's vote for jobs. 1065 01:03:50,070 --> 01:03:52,260 either listen to our show, or he 1066 01:03:52,890 --> 01:03:55,290 probably does like, Hey, let me give Adam and John a little 1067 01:03:55,290 --> 01:03:59,190 plug. They'll dig it. It'll be really funny jobs. They'll be 1068 01:03:59,190 --> 01:04:04,770 really, really funny. We have an international police force set 1069 01:04:04,770 --> 01:04:07,980 up. Interpol in the United Nations are now becoming 1070 01:04:07,980 --> 01:04:12,090 partners in fighting crime by jointly grooming a global police 1071 01:04:12,090 --> 01:04:16,620 force that will be deployed as peacekeepers amongst rogue 1072 01:04:16,620 --> 01:04:20,880 nations, riven by war and organized crime. Hey, we should 1073 01:04:20,880 --> 01:04:21,690 have him here. 1074 01:04:21,870 --> 01:04:24,330 Yeah. In Chicago as we speak. 1075 01:04:25,560 --> 01:04:28,560 On Monday, justice and foreign ministers from more than 60 1076 01:04:28,560 --> 01:04:31,800 countries, including the United States and China are gathering 1077 01:04:32,070 --> 01:04:35,370 in Singapore for a meeting hosted by the two international 1078 01:04:35,370 --> 01:04:38,490 organizations again, the UN and Interpol the first step towards 1079 01:04:38,490 --> 01:04:42,630 creating what Interpol calls a global police doctrine. This is 1080 01:04:42,630 --> 01:04:47,310 it. This is what we've been talking about for two years. Two 1081 01:04:47,310 --> 01:04:51,990 years and here it is your global police force. We've got the the 1082 01:04:51,990 --> 01:04:55,350 global finance which the G 20 is going to determine how all the 1083 01:04:55,350 --> 01:04:58,830 central banks work together but a global police force ladies and 1084 01:04:58,830 --> 01:05:05,820 gentlemen Enjoy your shopping experience now shut up and sit 1085 01:05:05,820 --> 01:05:06,300 down. 1086 01:05:08,519 --> 01:05:12,149 A global police force. That's a good one is all money grab? 1087 01:05:13,889 --> 01:05:16,049 Yeah, I think it's a little 1088 01:05:17,279 --> 01:05:19,379 girl power grab too, I suppose. 1089 01:05:19,889 --> 01:05:24,239 And this is weird from the Washington Times. And I've been 1090 01:05:24,239 --> 01:05:28,559 following a couple of kind of weird stories. But you know, 1091 01:05:28,559 --> 01:05:31,649 there was also this United Nations. I don't think it was a 1092 01:05:31,649 --> 01:05:35,669 UN report about the atrocities that went on during the most 1093 01:05:35,669 --> 01:05:41,159 recent conflict between Israel and the Palestinians in Gaza, 1094 01:05:41,399 --> 01:05:44,549 where both sides really overstepped the boundaries of 1095 01:05:44,549 --> 01:05:47,519 all rules of killing people. Because you know, you can't kill 1096 01:05:47,519 --> 01:05:49,979 people in a certain way, you can only kill them with like a clean 1097 01:05:49,979 --> 01:05:55,529 shot to the head, preferably to. So this UN report accused the 1098 01:05:55,529 --> 01:06:01,769 Jewish state of Israel and the Palestinian State have targeting 1099 01:06:01,799 --> 01:06:08,219 its civilians in illegal ways. And now Israel, in the Knesset 1100 01:06:08,249 --> 01:06:12,029 is seriously considering restricting travel to Europe by 1101 01:06:12,029 --> 01:06:15,629 senior officials and military officers fearing they might be 1102 01:06:15,629 --> 01:06:18,569 arrested for war crimes. 1103 01:06:19,800 --> 01:06:22,320 Yeah, well, this is a problem Cheney has, by the way, 1104 01:06:22,680 --> 01:06:23,940 where is he hiding out? 1105 01:06:25,110 --> 01:06:26,610 I think he's in the Batcave. 1106 01:06:29,790 --> 01:06:35,460 Yeah. Okay, I want to send you a link that you just have to take 1107 01:06:35,460 --> 01:06:39,120 a look at, if you want to know, because otherwise we can't 1108 01:06:39,120 --> 01:06:40,230 discuss it. While you're 1109 01:06:40,230 --> 01:06:43,560 doing that. I'm going to we have to do a little call back here to 1110 01:06:43,920 --> 01:06:48,480 Stanley McChrystal. I just want to read a couple of paragraphs 1111 01:06:48,480 --> 01:06:53,580 from the free Republic. But McChrystal, he stopped the 1112 01:06:53,580 --> 01:06:57,450 practice of flying flags at half mast. Every time a soldier was 1113 01:06:57,450 --> 01:06:59,730 killed, saying a force that's fighting a war can spend all its 1114 01:06:59,730 --> 01:07:03,180 time looking back at what the costs have been. His approach to 1115 01:07:03,180 --> 01:07:05,550 challenge the standard military culture of overwhelming the 1116 01:07:05,550 --> 01:07:07,920 enemy with superior firepower sometimes regardless of the 1117 01:07:07,920 --> 01:07:11,430 consequences. He has told his men to think before they before 1118 01:07:11,430 --> 01:07:15,060 they shoot. In August, he angered Germany by apologizing 1119 01:07:15,060 --> 01:07:19,890 for an airstrike on to hijack NATO fuel trucks. The strike 1120 01:07:19,890 --> 01:07:22,500 called in by the German contingent, it killed 990 1121 01:07:22,500 --> 01:07:26,100 people. This this compassion was a long way from the reputation 1122 01:07:26,100 --> 01:07:29,160 McChrystal had enjoyed as an American as America's ruthless 1123 01:07:29,160 --> 01:07:33,360 chief terrorist pursuer caught up in a scandal over torture and 1124 01:07:33,360 --> 01:07:36,630 prisoner abuse. He was apparently somehow this guy is 1125 01:07:36,630 --> 01:07:40,290 no good. His transformation is that here's the quote that was a 1126 01:07:40,290 --> 01:07:42,420 quote from the piece I wanted to read. This came from The Times 1127 01:07:42,420 --> 01:07:45,480 online in the UK, by the way, his channel owned and recorded 1128 01:07:45,480 --> 01:07:48,300 in the free Republic. His transformation into a quote 1129 01:07:48,300 --> 01:07:52,140 scholar soldier is perhaps one of the greatest achievements in 1130 01:07:52,140 --> 01:07:57,000 a remarkable career. Yeah, really? Oh, and apparently, his 1131 01:07:57,000 --> 01:07:58,620 biggest fan is Bill O'Reilly. 1132 01:07:58,650 --> 01:08:01,050 Hold on. Hold on, John. We're breaking up. Let me just see if 1133 01:08:01,050 --> 01:08:04,320 I can fix this. It's a it's an audio thing. Hold on. 1134 01:08:04,560 --> 01:08:07,320 His biggest fan is Bill O'Reilly. 1135 01:08:07,350 --> 01:08:09,780 Yeah, you know, you're on top then hold on. Let me see if I 1136 01:08:09,780 --> 01:08:13,620 can fix this. Okay, yeah, it fix I think, 1137 01:08:13,920 --> 01:08:17,340 ciao. Wow, what's going on? It sounds like lightning over 1138 01:08:17,340 --> 01:08:17,760 there. 1139 01:08:18,419 --> 01:08:22,019 Yeah, it's like bits breaking out but it's something internal. 1140 01:08:22,079 --> 01:08:27,119 I don't know. I just sent you a link. And if you want to know 1141 01:08:27,119 --> 01:08:30,209 what is actually killing our children, look at this latest ad 1142 01:08:30,209 --> 01:08:33,989 from Ralph Lauren. And this was distributed 1143 01:08:35,549 --> 01:08:42,749 remember this? This somebody photoshopped image of Photoshop 1144 01:08:42,749 --> 01:08:43,229 dad, 1145 01:08:43,260 --> 01:08:45,750 but I think it was actually distributed, wasn't it? Yeah, I 1146 01:08:45,750 --> 01:08:50,520 have not sure I can. No, I can't tell whether this was a hoax. 1147 01:08:51,570 --> 01:08:54,600 And I have never gotten to the bottom of the story. 1148 01:08:57,390 --> 01:08:58,170 The Mazzo 1149 01:08:59,669 --> 01:09:02,849 and this woman you know, is complaining I don't know. I 1150 01:09:02,849 --> 01:09:05,459 don't know what the deal is with this picture. Well, we just put 1151 01:09:05,459 --> 01:09:08,099 in the show notes and let people comment on it and we can it's a 1152 01:09:08,099 --> 01:09:11,849 bit it's really just says Ralph Lauren and and it got some woman 1153 01:09:12,689 --> 01:09:15,569 whose head is bigger than her pelvis head whose head is bigger 1154 01:09:15,569 --> 01:09:18,359 than her waist. It because they've shrunk her. They've 1155 01:09:18,419 --> 01:09:23,189 photoshopped her. So she's like, thin as a rail. And minimally 1156 01:09:23,489 --> 01:09:28,889 and I don't know it seems somewhat pointless. Yeah, but 1157 01:09:28,889 --> 01:09:30,269 now everybody's up in arms about 1158 01:09:30,270 --> 01:09:32,850 it. Well, yeah, but it's it's killing our kids. You know, they 1159 01:09:32,880 --> 01:09:33,690 this model who 1160 01:09:33,690 --> 01:09:36,960 is 120 pounds and five foot 10 says she decided to go public 1161 01:09:37,320 --> 01:09:43,230 after she saw that Photoshop ravage frame. 510 120 is thin. 1162 01:09:43,560 --> 01:09:46,470 It is and she was fired for being too fat. I don't believe 1163 01:09:46,470 --> 01:09:48,450 that. I think there's something wrong with the story. I think 1164 01:09:48,450 --> 01:09:51,720 there's a missing piece of the puzzle. She maybe was fired for 1165 01:09:51,720 --> 01:10:00,000 other reasons. Who knows? But being 510 and 120 is I don't 1166 01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:03,360 know if there's any models that listen to the show ha. But there 1167 01:10:03,360 --> 01:10:08,430 might be, give us the current stats on what's expected I know 1168 01:10:08,430 --> 01:10:12,960 used to be 58105 used to be some you do run into that, but 510, 1169 01:10:12,960 --> 01:10:15,750 you can carry 120 and look at it and still be thin as a rail. 1170 01:10:17,190 --> 01:10:21,450 So that I care. Before we get to our producer credits. For 1171 01:10:21,450 --> 01:10:24,990 today's show, John, I just wanted to open up discussion 1172 01:10:24,990 --> 01:10:28,890 with you about what's really going on with Russia, with Iran, 1173 01:10:29,430 --> 01:10:33,120 and China. And the US, of course, Secretary of State 1174 01:10:33,360 --> 01:10:38,010 Hillary Clinton was in Russia the other day, and she's not 1175 01:10:38,010 --> 01:10:40,890 just there to check out the borscht. Okay, there's reasons 1176 01:10:40,890 --> 01:10:43,770 why these people travel to those countries as much as she likes. 1177 01:10:44,070 --> 01:10:48,090 She's totally into that shit, as she said, I so into that shit. 1178 01:10:49,860 --> 01:10:56,940 Gazprom, of course, just closed a $25 billion deal with China to 1179 01:10:56,940 --> 01:11:05,280 deliver gas to them. And this is where Iran comes into play. 1180 01:11:05,280 --> 01:11:08,490 Because of course, we I think we can learn from a little bit of 1181 01:11:08,490 --> 01:11:11,790 history, that the whole idea now now it's they're not calling it 1182 01:11:11,790 --> 01:11:14,820 weapons of mass destruction, where they're calling it nuclear 1183 01:11:14,820 --> 01:11:19,200 devices, and that Iran is going to blow us up and they're going 1184 01:11:19,200 --> 01:11:22,860 to blow up Israel, and they're going to nuke everybody. And we 1185 01:11:22,860 --> 01:11:26,790 have to stop them. And we have to sanction them. And all this 1186 01:11:26,790 --> 01:11:29,670 crap that's going on, the Russians are basically saying, I 1187 01:11:29,670 --> 01:11:32,490 don't think so. Because we're actually like doing some pretty 1188 01:11:32,490 --> 01:11:36,030 good business. And, you know, and, and we want to kind of keep 1189 01:11:36,030 --> 01:11:40,620 things kind of cool. But who needs the Iranian? Iran, by the 1190 01:11:40,620 --> 01:11:46,200 way, has the world's largest natural gas reserves are 1191 01:11:46,200 --> 01:11:52,350 estimated 991 trillion cubic feet? And who needs that? Who 1192 01:11:52,380 --> 01:11:56,520 needs that? John? The Europeans need it. Yeah, 1193 01:11:56,610 --> 01:11:57,750 the Europeans do need it, 1194 01:11:57,930 --> 01:12:00,600 they need it desperately. And there's actually a shift going 1195 01:12:00,600 --> 01:12:04,170 on, I'm seeing it in all the newspapers. Now that oil is 1196 01:12:04,200 --> 01:12:08,220 above 70 bucks, its borders at 7375. Somewhere in that region. 1197 01:12:08,910 --> 01:12:12,630 at an all time low at the moment, gas, natural gas is at 1198 01:12:12,630 --> 01:12:15,810 an all time low. And I think that what's really going to 1199 01:12:15,810 --> 01:12:19,290 happen is a lot of countries are desperately trying to switch to 1200 01:12:19,290 --> 01:12:24,510 natural gas, because it's just that much cheaper. And it's 1201 01:12:24,510 --> 01:12:28,170 facing the United States, we got tons of natural gas, we that we 1202 01:12:28,170 --> 01:12:31,290 wouldn't need anything from anybody, we could completely be 1203 01:12:31,290 --> 01:12:33,960 self sustainable. I think 1204 01:12:34,289 --> 01:12:36,539 we got a lot of natural gas, we keep discovering more, we 1205 01:12:36,539 --> 01:12:38,999 actually have a lot of oil two that hasn't been tapped. There's 1206 01:12:38,999 --> 01:12:43,139 a there's a there's a thing underneath North Dakota, there's 1207 01:12:43,139 --> 01:12:48,689 a there's a series of oil deposits, that was almost as big 1208 01:12:48,689 --> 01:12:50,789 as Saudi Arabia that hasn't even been touched. 1209 01:12:50,820 --> 01:12:54,720 So let's put the pieces on the board. It's undeniable now. And 1210 01:12:54,720 --> 01:12:57,750 there's just too many really serious reports coming out that 1211 01:12:57,750 --> 01:13:02,490 the oil trade is now being switched to euros and the lawn 1212 01:13:02,490 --> 01:13:05,940 and baskets of currencies that include gold, I mean, everyone's 1213 01:13:05,940 --> 01:13:11,670 talking about it, no matter how much, you know, Gibbs stands up 1214 01:13:11,670 --> 01:13:14,640 on the podium and denies that it's happening. You know, 1215 01:13:14,640 --> 01:13:17,670 everyone's switching to stronger. By the way, there's 1216 01:13:17,670 --> 01:13:19,170 Gibson coked, up to you 1217 01:13:19,200 --> 01:13:23,760 totally, maybe he's on E. Sometimes he looks like he's on 1218 01:13:23,760 --> 01:13:24,810 MDMA trip. 1219 01:13:25,499 --> 01:13:29,789 But yes, it but he has it as I kind of know that star Doc can 1220 01:13:29,789 --> 01:13:32,819 read it through the doors a lot of the time ahead, when he talks 1221 01:13:32,819 --> 01:13:35,339 about it, there's nothing coming out of the dose that he has yet 1222 01:13:35,339 --> 01:13:36,659 that kind of the sound jumps and 1223 01:13:36,690 --> 01:13:39,270 we should totally pay attention to that we should look if he's 1224 01:13:39,270 --> 01:13:43,680 doing some nose touching. Now, I'll make that my mission for 1225 01:13:43,710 --> 01:13:50,610 for this week. So So Iran is becoming incredibly important. 1226 01:13:50,610 --> 01:13:53,550 Meanwhile, in the US, if we actually want to switch to 1227 01:13:53,550 --> 01:13:55,860 building this whole new gas infrastructure, we need to 1228 01:13:55,860 --> 01:13:59,400 finance it, we really need to finance it. And who's going to 1229 01:13:59,400 --> 01:14:02,880 do that that's typically China who aren't financing it anymore. 1230 01:14:02,880 --> 01:14:07,530 So we're kind of in this race, I think somehow, for the US to 1231 01:14:07,530 --> 01:14:13,260 switch to natural gas. And so our currency is, you know, not 1232 01:14:13,260 --> 01:14:16,170 even slowly but moderately quickly becoming no longer the 1233 01:14:16,170 --> 01:14:19,710 reserve currency of the world. That's the Euro which by the 1234 01:14:19,710 --> 01:14:22,650 way, is not all that good for for Europe that has its own 1235 01:14:22,650 --> 01:14:24,030 implications and problems. 1236 01:14:24,060 --> 01:14:27,240 Well, I've always believed that. I thought this was gonna happen 1237 01:14:27,240 --> 01:14:30,090 the last time the dollar folded and if you remember that, about 1238 01:14:30,090 --> 01:14:32,370 a year or so a couple of years ago, when all of a sudden the 1239 01:14:32,370 --> 01:14:35,370 pound fell like a rock and the euro was falling really fast and 1240 01:14:35,370 --> 01:14:38,730 the dollar was picking up steam member that yeah, and then you 1241 01:14:38,730 --> 01:14:41,760 know, boom, it turned right back around the dollars in the 1242 01:14:41,760 --> 01:14:45,360 toilet, the Euros a buck 47 Buck 50 That means you have to pay 1243 01:14:45,360 --> 01:14:47,970 50% More for stuff in Europe. It's ridiculous. And then the 1244 01:14:47,970 --> 01:14:52,170 pound is kind of holding its own about a buck 60 And so the 1245 01:14:52,170 --> 01:14:54,960 dollar starts collapsing again and we're supposed to have a 1246 01:14:55,080 --> 01:14:57,750 strong dollar policy. How about this for an interesting 1247 01:14:57,750 --> 01:15:02,490 scenario? The world changes it's with the dollar keeps kind of 1248 01:15:02,490 --> 01:15:04,950 declining and it looks weak and weak and weak and so on. So a 1249 01:15:04,950 --> 01:15:07,620 screw the dollar, we're losing our butts being in this thing, 1250 01:15:07,620 --> 01:15:13,650 let's switch over to the euro, buy high, sell low, switch over 1251 01:15:13,650 --> 01:15:16,770 to the euro and bend and do all these contracts in euros with it 1252 01:15:16,770 --> 01:15:21,450 with the oil. So that is let's say that you buy X amount for, 1253 01:15:21,750 --> 01:15:26,910 for for two euros. And, and then all of a sudden that once that's 1254 01:15:26,910 --> 01:15:29,970 all established the dollar skyrockets in value, because you 1255 01:15:29,970 --> 01:15:32,940 can turn it up and down with two different kinds of policies. And 1256 01:15:32,940 --> 01:15:35,760 the next thing you know, we're getting our oil at half price. 1257 01:15:36,000 --> 01:15:38,400 Because it's all well, I'm sorry, if you want to be with 1258 01:15:38,400 --> 01:15:41,250 the euro. And then we ended up getting a really good deal, the 1259 01:15:41,250 --> 01:15:44,280 economy gets cranked up again, and we're back on top. And then 1260 01:15:44,280 --> 01:15:47,460 everybody realizes that we've screwed the world financially 1261 01:15:47,460 --> 01:15:50,280 once more, which we're really good at, by the way, and I have 1262 01:15:50,280 --> 01:15:52,380 lots of confidence that we can do that kind of thing. 1263 01:15:52,979 --> 01:15:55,619 And by the way, just like to point out when you hear all this 1264 01:15:55,649 --> 01:16:00,869 great talk about a jobless recovery, which is Chris a 1265 01:16:00,869 --> 01:16:04,439 jobless recovery because the Dow was at 10,000 yet, but if you 1266 01:16:04,439 --> 01:16:07,469 calculate the dollar value, the Dow was really like it's seven 1267 01:16:07,469 --> 01:16:11,669 and a half 1000. It's you know, it's not the same 10,000 as it 1268 01:16:11,669 --> 01:16:14,789 was two years ago. It's a different 10,000 Because the 1269 01:16:14,789 --> 01:16:15,539 dollar is just 1270 01:16:16,800 --> 01:16:20,040 beside the point, this thing is overpriced. But the jobless 1271 01:16:20,040 --> 01:16:22,410 recovery thing, it's just and they keep talking about it as if 1272 01:16:22,410 --> 01:16:23,010 it was a good 1273 01:16:23,070 --> 01:16:25,860 thing. It's a meme. Yeah, just trying, hey, it's good. Hey, we 1274 01:16:25,890 --> 01:16:29,250 our economy has recovered Too bad you can't eat motherfucker. 1275 01:16:31,530 --> 01:16:37,710 The US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, just stated at the 1276 01:16:37,860 --> 01:16:42,120 World gas conference in Buenos Aires, that the US may never 1277 01:16:42,120 --> 01:16:48,600 need new coal or nuclear plants ever again, based upon our sweat 1278 01:16:48,600 --> 01:16:52,710 our pause our potential switch to natural gas. And by the way 1279 01:16:52,710 --> 01:16:56,670 cars run on that too. Yeah, it's good stuff. You can do a lot 1280 01:16:56,670 --> 01:16:58,890 with it. And I think it's pretty clean. John, am I wrong? 1281 01:16:59,160 --> 01:17:03,690 No, it's an outstanding product. You could actually light your 1282 01:17:03,690 --> 01:17:06,180 house with it him and they used to as a matter of fact, years 1283 01:17:06,180 --> 01:17:10,710 ago, before electricity, everything. Yeah, gas lamp in 1284 01:17:10,710 --> 01:17:11,220 the house. 1285 01:17:11,550 --> 01:17:14,670 So this is the kind of stuff that we that we consistently 1286 01:17:14,670 --> 01:17:17,100 look into. So we have a couple of things that we have to do 1287 01:17:17,100 --> 01:17:21,450 this week, I will be watching a lot of C span C span three, 1288 01:17:21,450 --> 01:17:25,350 which is only online, by the way, watching all of Robert 1289 01:17:25,350 --> 01:17:28,440 Gibbs presentations to see if he's coked out or not. And I 1290 01:17:28,440 --> 01:17:31,800 actually take that on as a challenge. He sounds that way. 1291 01:17:31,800 --> 01:17:37,800 And you know, just considering his job he might be. But we 1292 01:17:37,800 --> 01:17:41,250 spend a lot of time looking into this stuff. John does a whole 1293 01:17:41,250 --> 01:17:44,790 nother show with Andrew Horowitz talk specifically about the 1294 01:17:44,790 --> 01:17:48,570 markets and and the economy and how the money flows are going 1295 01:17:48,780 --> 01:17:52,020 and the type of analysis we're giving you even if it's not 1296 01:17:52,020 --> 01:17:56,010 true. The Norwegian Chicago connection. I think it's it's 1297 01:17:56,010 --> 01:17:59,400 worth more investigation. I'll keep on that. We do the work. We 1298 01:17:59,400 --> 01:18:01,860 do the work and we don't let ourselves get interrupted by 1299 01:18:01,860 --> 01:18:05,520 stupid ass commercials. let ourselves be limited by not 1300 01:18:05,520 --> 01:18:07,860 being able to talk about certain things that would piss off 1301 01:18:07,860 --> 01:18:11,700 advertisers. And the only way we can keep doing it is by you 1302 01:18:11,730 --> 01:18:15,930 donating to the show, it's just like PBS only we're not corrupt. 1303 01:18:17,400 --> 01:18:21,630 Right and we don't you know, necessarily. Well, we don't we 1304 01:18:21,630 --> 01:18:24,240 don't have any underwriters or anybody that you know, can tell 1305 01:18:24,240 --> 01:18:28,530 us what we can or cannot say. In fact, and let me go over this. 1306 01:18:28,530 --> 01:18:30,900 We did. We didn't actually get a lot of money in this last week. 1307 01:18:30,900 --> 01:18:33,990 I'm kind of disappointed but we did have some enough to get by. 1308 01:18:34,380 --> 01:18:36,870 And let me name a few people. John Trainor, Wilmington, 1309 01:18:36,870 --> 01:18:41,610 Delaware $50. Then we had Samuel Vander plank and we didn't get 1310 01:18:41,610 --> 01:18:44,820 much overseas money for we had just one and this is it Samuel 1311 01:18:44,820 --> 01:18:50,370 Vander plank.

And 1326 01:20:04,260 --> 01:20:08,820 I've come to the conclusion that he's going to obviously do this 1327 01:20:09,210 --> 01:20:11,970 is a third time maybe he's going to do, I'm kind of guessing he's 1328 01:20:11,970 --> 01:20:14,820 going to do this like seven times it's a hostile takeover. 1329 01:20:15,270 --> 01:20:17,700 He's gonna do this like seven times, and then he's gonna get 1330 01:20:17,910 --> 01:20:21,750 got some lucky numbers and then he is going to go to the horse 1331 01:20:21,750 --> 01:20:26,100 track and go to the seventh race and set the horse number seven 1332 01:20:26,160 --> 01:20:28,470 and bet on horse number seven, and you know what's going to 1333 01:20:28,470 --> 01:20:36,060 happen with it all back.
